Illent,the coal duty, and oti.er dot ies,amourning to a million and a half, awe repealed by his Majesty's Government, without the authority of parliament. The House had not time to pass a law UP petting these duties, all on account of the Reform Rill. Thus taxes for six months were repealed before the House was called cam to sanction the repeal. It nes an vomit to the legislature. and a mockery of parlia saent. tie thought that the House should be put in 1 04. 5e...11r1 Of the authority under which these dunes had been .ad, and that they should then %indicate the rights of the The hon. naa.l.er concluded by moving for a copy the ai.thority under which the duties en wires were levied s'r•-• the 20th of July lass. Tor question having been n ut from the Chair, Loy ALTHORP denied Facing recourse to any inipro. p.. 1 means of procuring support to the resolution respecting tb wine dillies. He did not take the house by sitprise on that occasion. as alleged- by the hon. member. Ile had no kretion to the production of the order moved, for it was ot the usual kind. Ile thought that the ir.terest of the trade was better consulted by imposing the new duties imme diately after the passing of the resolution. So objection had been made to it. It was the usual course fot ministers to pursue on such occasions, told the trade were well aware of it. The noble lord would rather shape the In o tien thus : That there be laid befwe the house espies of all orders trt ir r e tty duties were levied on wines, in consequence of a resolution of that house on the Itch of July last. Mr. ROBINSON never could admit that a resolution of that house should have the same weight as if the measure had been agreed to by the legislature. Ile did not think that there was any precedent completely in point far such a proceeding. Mr. GOULBU RN conceived that if this ca , e was brought I in:o a precedent, it would have a dangerous tendency. It Lad always been the practice to state in such resolutions thr period at which the new deities should attach, but that ea, omitted on this occasion ; consequently, the parties rirerested had no reason to apprehend that the duties were to be levied immediately. The difficulty arm: from the delay between the passing the resolutiou and the Intro. duction of a bill to carry it into teem It was a violation of the privileges of the other house to levy new duties ti.ithout their concurrence, for thotnth they could not make any change in the duties. still they were empowered to give a negative so the measure. Mr. P. THOMSON observed that a course precisely si r..ilar to this was pursued in 1825, in reducing the duties wines, and the principle was the same, wile-due duties were to be raised or lowered. The period between the pass big of the resolution and the Bill on that occasion, was greater than that on the present occasion, yet the resolution was then carried immediately after it passed. Sir C. IVETH ERELL thought that a resolution to re. duce the duties on wine was a different thing from the disco. lu:iun of the Methuen treaty. He for one could not recog. idse the principle of giving the same effect to a resolution of the house, as a solemn ate of the legislature. Mr. COURTENAY did not think that the noble lord was justified in imposing the new duties. Mr. O'CAL LAIJIIAN was of opinion that government should not pursue the course respecting changes in slinks, s.liieb they were in the habit of pursuing. The consequence of carrying such resolutions into immediate effect was, that they had a retrospective operation, by raising duties, or di minishing them, on stock in hand. Mr. ATT WOOD replied, and the motion, as untended by Lord Althorp, was agreed to. As was also a motionb M . 1 r. Attwood, tot a return of the quantity of wine on whie the new duties had been levied since July last. On the motion of Lord ALTHORP, the report of the Committee, respecting the grant to the Princess Vittoria,' was brought up, and agreed to famine eontradieetsio, as the Speaker jocularly observed. 4 i 1 . ~ : i i i, 1 . 1 1 1 i r ~ •n• , s . . r..- t..: . 4 . 1 1. : 1 / l :: ' i 4 ' .4' / ' 1 ; I' , A • f'' 1 :I P 1 / I • , 1 ; .

On the motion of Lard ALTHOILPthat the Ifouse ro. 3 , ,0 , ve Waif into a Committee on the reform bill, ('apt. GORDON took that opportunity of vindicating the 4. starter of some Grand Jurymen in the county of Carlow, from a calumny which was uttered against them by the Nrmber for Reny. The Honourable Ilzatwan was here interrupted by Lcrd Milton. This was not the fit pl.sce. to introduce such a subject. The SPEAKER took the same view of the subject, and Gordon yielded. 'rhe House then resolved Itself Into a Committee. On the motion that Wolverhampton, Bdaton, Sce. stand part of schedule C, Mr. CRONER Aimed that Wolverharnp:on contained a population exceeding 18,000, yet other parishes, which had no connection with it were united. Wolverhampton ought not to be overAowed in that manner. Ur: LITTLETON thought the Right Hon. Gentleman showed but little knowledge of the population of SIM pert of the country. The Right Hon. Gent lem an wee very inac curate in his statements. _ _ _ Mr. CROSIER obverted that Wolverhampton ought not to be sluiced-in with the surrounding large population. Sir J. WROTTESLEY was convinced that the people of Wolverhampton would be quite satisfied with the arrange. meat, in consequence of obtaining an additional member by it. After some further conversation between Mr. Croker, Lord .1. Russell, 111 s. Stuart Wortley, and Lad Althorp, Sir R. PREL observed that it would be better to add ‘Vednesbury to the borough of Walsall than toWolvethatop. ton. Such an arrangement would at the same time be more just, sad more consistent with the principles of the Bill.— His object now was to make the Bill as perfect as it could be made, and this was an opportunity for correcting one mis take, wherefore he trusted that the noble lord would incor porate Wedoesbury with Walsall. Lord JOHN RUSSELL thought that it would be quite time enough to discuss the right honourable baronet's pro position, when they should come to the borough of Walsall in the list. _ _ _ Mr. CROKEB observed that u Wednesbury was to be included by their present vote with Wolverhampton, that was the proper time to have the point settled. tlr. LITTLETON thought that the subject would come ow more regularly what they got to the end of the schedule. nir R. PEEL observed, that the fair way would be to add Wrqinesbury to Wahall, and Sedgely to Wolverhampton. Mr. LITTLETON doubted whether the inhabitants of Wednesbury could wish to be so represented, as it would take Clan out of the county representation. Mr. CHOKER denied this. He had not understood that the freeholders would be deprived of their rights by becom ing entitled to vote as householders. He had not read the bill so. Mr. LITTLETON believed that the freeholders would he disfranchised. (Cities of no, no.) Mr CHOKER would like to see any county member adopt this opinion. If such a doctrine went to go forth, he had no doubt that it would change the general feeling wi:b respect to the bill. . sir C. %VETHERELL also took the same view of the tubjeet, and concluded by suggesting that Wolverhampton should be postponed until they came to Walsall. After a Om winds from Lord Avritootand Mr. Czonico, the motion was weed to. on the motion that the division of the Tower Hamlets, ivciuding Ossulston Hundreds, stood part of schedule C, :Sir E. B. SCHOEN observed that the bill would r.lake a must important alteration in the constituency, by depriving hen olden of the votes. It would deprive Loge districts of the county of Middlesex of their franchise, in order to Include them in the constituency of London; while, on the other bend, in would. throw 117i0 the county of Middlesex the lowest class of voters, to the great injury of the agricultural claws. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER repEed that they had placed the freeholders of Middlesex upon the sane footing with the freeholder, of all other coon• tics. lie could not see how the agricultural classes would he vre;utL.:ed, for their Interests had been taken care of in the 111. _ _ Sir E.. B. StIGOLIT and Lord ALTHOIF mutually ex. pin ned. :in C. WETHERELL observed that, by the original Ili I, the householder of London could not vote in virtue of bis freehold is Middlesex. but in the present Bill that right WJII given. This was a fresh anomaly, and a considerable bowls to London. _ _ was surprised at finding the town of Lon don included in the list, fa he could not see upon what pnncipie it was se be added to the county of Middlesex...— Louden had not the sons claim as othet towns, to be added so she counties from which they were originally separated, because London had never been severed from any county, and therefore could not come within the rule. The 16th clause went to provide dot no change should be made in the rights of those who enjoyed the elective franchise, in virtue of their freeholds, and If he wore rig* in his cousuuctiso, then the inhabitants of London woeddl have two votes, our. fur the City of London, in virtlt• of the houses which they steepled, and the other fot Ilse county of Middlesex, in virtue of their freeholds. He wished the Noble Lord to ex plain this aeornalp_ Mr. Alderman WOOD said that item, was no occasion for such alum about the freeholders of the city t Londe*, as they really were persons of respectability aU property. The CHANCELLOR of - the EXCHEQUER said that was rot the proper time for discussion n the &wee 0 the bill. He had no objection to any ion at the u proper time, but that was not the proper e. After a few words from Mr. Alderman AITHWAW, the motion was agreed to. On the motion that the district of Finsbury, including the parishes of Finsbury. St. Andrew, Holborn, Saffron. Lill, &c., stand part of schedule C. sfr J. WEVI.A ND said, that he was prepared to prove thot the constituency under the new bill would be persons inhabiting houses from 10 to 201. in yearly value. Such a conatituer.cy would, he thought, produce the very wont re sults, by introduclas an undue degree of popular influence into that house. Such persons were obliged to work too hard to he able to judge of their interests properly, and it could roe I e doubted that the first effort they would make under this Ref:twin Bill would be to pledge their representatives to a repeal I f the corn laws, an exemption from taxation. and the sutv:rsion of the rights of the aristocracy. Unlcia Cm t tforc rome coun:erpoise could be given, he Must dissent front the course adopted by Ministers. He admitted, how. e er, :NA the bill was sound in principle, and only defective in consequence of the haste with which it was framed. For Ina rut he could have wished that the opponents of the bill. irs:e-.11 of defending nomination boroughs, had joined heart and hand to render the bill perfect. Col. BRUCE had not before attempted to express his sent;ments, and he therefore wished now to offer a few re marks upot, the effect of giving such a large share of repre :ent:ttion to the mettopolis. The Hon. Member continued t•I aaaresA the house amidst occasional cries of oh, oh ! coniending, as he went along, that the members who would he elected for to borough before the house would be indi viduals that small attend to the individual interests of their esinstituoita, anti not to the general interests of the country, to look aficr a hich was the real object for which ,members ware stnt to that house. . Mr. C. PERGUSSON hoped, with the last hon. mem. her, that a larger portion of members would be given to Scotland than it was yet proposed to give her. lie did not agree with the hen. member for Thetford, that the County members would be overpowered by the members that would be returned from die metropolis or the manufacturing towns. It was contended that members from the metropolis would be obliged to adopt a particular course, else they would he rejected. This argument was drawn rom the eiratmatance of an hon. alderman having been obliged to account for his rote upon a particular occasion. But this was the eonse. quence of giving pledgee, and nothing else. He bad no fear but that persons of the highest respectability would be returned from such boroughs as those created by the •sche. dule beton the house. 1f they excluded the 800,000 persons who resided in the neighbourhood of the metropolis from the advantages of the Reform Bill, it would have been much better they had not brought in the reform bill at all. Mr. J. SMITH said that, by giving representation to the large district of Finsbury, they gave a safety valve, through which their (minions would be made known to this house. Upon every Principle of equity and justice' they ought to eufranehise the large population resident in the district in question. He heard with indignation the attack made upon the Livery of London, for calling cm* of their mem. bers to account. He was one of these that felt that the people had a tight to call their representatives to account for their conduct, particularly if they pledged themselves to a particular line of conduct. Mr. PRINGLE complained of Scotland only getting five new members, while the metropolis of this country was to get eight new members. He contended, that if the metro polis was to obtain so large a portion of new members, that It would have an undue power in that house, when the members for the other part of the country were taken into consideration. (Cries of oh, oh !) Sir C. DOUGLAS hoped that Le would have the sup port of those who advocated this increase of members to the metropolis, when he, upon a subsequent occasion, asked for additional members for Scotland .( Hear, bear.) Mr. HUNT denied that the newly-created voters would elect persons of rank ; they would elect persons for their ability and that worth, without any consideration as to their station in society. After a few word& from Mr. Fsauusox, Mr. Gout-swim, and Lord Avruole, the motion was agreed to amidst some laughter. Upon demotion that liarylabcuine stand part of the bill as a borough, including the perishes of St. Marylabonse, St. Pancras, and Paddington, bit, C. FERGUSON tom to eddies, the House, but was met wish cries of oh, oh ! He would be beard, despite of all sties. The inhabitants ef the 'Nib ed Iletylabesese ism snakes to hare see emotes es, aid Ibq *sadly doh sierriety by saying that they pay fear these es Mel taxes se Leeds, and three times as much as Manchester I that there wee 10,000 houses at not less than 401. each. They say that if they are to be joined to Paddington and St. Pancras, In re turning two members, that they will be swallowed up in the very large constituency that would be created by these com bined parishes. After a few observations bom Sir J. Malcolm, Lord ALTHORP did not think that the inhabitants of Marylaboone wouldjbe swallowed up.io the way stated by the hon. member, so as to prevent them from forming a roost efficient.poelion of the constituency of . the borough in quest!on. The motion was then agreed to. The motion that Lambeth, including St. Mary, Hewing. too, Bermondsey, &v. stand part of the Bill, was agreed to without a division. This borough was the hit of the schedule. Upon the CUALRMAY proceeding to read schedule D. Lord MILTON said that formerly it was his intention to move that schedule D should be inserted in schedule C, but he now intended to wait until the Chairman came to move that the black be filled up with one member, when he would move, as an amendment, that the blank be filled up with two members. Mr. LITTLETON would at once move that Stoke. upon-Trent, which was now in schedule D. should be trans fared to schedule C. because it was a most flourishing place, and contained a population of 53,000 Sir J. W ROTT Y and Mr. E. PEEL supported the proposition, on the ground of its flourishing wade and large population. epopulation. ALTHORP did not see any good ground for taking the place in question out of schedule D. Lord INGESTRLR would support the proposition of the boa member for Staffordshire. After an obserraaee from Mr. 110001101 t, Mr. ROBINSON said he should oppose the reposition before the house. Lord Mita. our, Mr. C. WYNN, and Mr. Gissox, would support the proposition before the house. Mr. J. STANLEY thought that if they were to give two members to this proposed borough on the ground of popula. don, what would they say to giving only one to Bolton, sod to various other places ? He snould oppose the pro. position. blr. PROTHEROE was favourable to the giving of two members to Bioko-upon-Mut. Mr. PERCIVAL thought that two members ought to be given to this flourishing and populous district. Mr. WARBURTON did not see any reason why two members should be given' to the proposed borough, when theiolere not giving one member to Chelsea. J. RUSSELL said that •they were nth merely giving members to places on account of their solely. It was stated that Stoke-upon-Trent M il t coder claim upon the committee, and ought to be repro. fatted by two members. He thought that. considering and consulting the interests of the country, one espresso. Wive would be sufficient to protect the interests of R.—. If they wee to grant two members to Stoke-upon-Trent. It would only create jealousies. When the proposition of the right hoc. baronet came before the committee, to grant two members to half of the towns in schedule D, instead of one to each of the places named, be would be ready to theist it on good grounds. After • tow words from Lord Sritsucv, against the onodon, Sir E. PEEL said that he came down with the intention Its vote against the motion, but as it was confined to Stoke. upon-Trent. be would vote for it. Mr. J. WOOD said, that he thought it better that one member should represent a borough than two, fa in the taw case there was generally a compromise. Mr. LITTLETON replied. The gallery was then cleared foe a division. For Mr. Littleton's modem ....... 145 Against it ... 2441 Disiority for Ministers ..' It was then proposed that each of the prindpal places s amid In the first column in schedule D, return one member to =meat. MILTON said, that he was Inguenced, in =lidos his motion, with a view to set himself right with the aml vet to oppose the pdiseiple of the bill, or his honou cali nb' Moods, with whom be had been associated for many vein. He was s'lely ftlflueflced • by a desire to render the bill as perfect u possible, and he thought It desliable tbat each of the boroughs in schedule I), should return two members, in order that they might be fairly and fully represented in Parliament. He thought that the feeling of the minority of the country should be represented in that house. If these new boroughs were only to return one representative, it was impossible that the arrangements contemplated by schedule 1) could be anal. (Cheers.) It was impossible that large towns should be satisfied with one member, when towns with a comparatively email population returned two; (Hear.) It was wise to render the constitution as popular as possible, and with a view to do so, he thought that places of great population should be fully represented. He be lieved that the representatives of peculiar interests always looked for some peculiar advantages. (Hear.) He felt satisfied that his Hon. Friends would render this bill more acceptable, by allowing two members to tbose large towns. He regretted to witness a departure from the principles of regulating representation by population. He had heard that some of those towns would rather not be represented at all than by cue member. (Hear.) He thought that one member would may tend to create local excitement. He conclutl6d by moving that the word two" be inser. ed in-• stead of the wind " one." _ _ _ Sir F. BURDETTseid that he acquitted the Noble Lord of every feeling of private interest, in bringing forward his motion b..fore the committee. He differed altogether from the noble lord in his advocacy of double representation. Ile disputed the policy of giving a representation to the minority of the people, the principle of repnuntation was to repre sent the opinion of the majority. If the minority were to be represented, the election would amount to a nullity. He thought it Letter that each town should be represented by one member. He would forego any opinions of his own, I with a view that the great measure might be carried. The noble bold says, that the measure will rot be final in its pre sent shape. Why it was beyond the control of man to render it finalthut he insisted that the bill contained principles that would be tinaL There could be no doubt of the rectitude of the fundamental principles of the measure (cheers). No practical man could lay down any principle of science that was not liable to alterations. It was enough to say that the bill itself carried with it gnat practical good —(Hear.)— As to double representation, and as to the number of mem bers in that house, he thought there were too many represen tatives, and that the business could be more efficiently car ried on If there were less in number, and he believed that the towns in schedule D would be fairly represented by one member—(Cheers.)— A great deal had been said about the pledges given by hon. members upon this question, and more particularly with respect to a worthy Alderman (Thompson) who had been taunted for having given an explanation fur his vote in the case of Appleby. He thought that the constituents of the worthy Alderman had a perfect right to do so. Why, it was notorious that the nominee of a boroUghmonger would consider himself disgraced if In persisted in retaining his vote in opposition to his patron. The adoption of the proposed Bill would give confidence to the public in the proceedings of that Home. Honour able alembers had talked of the constitution, but if they would refer to the Rolls of Parliament, they would find that Alembers of Parliament always held themselves re sponsible in fames times to their constituents, and when any new measure was brought forward, they declined to vote until they had consulted their constituents.—(Hear. hear.) This was the essence of the British Constitution. He would vote against the amendment of the noble Lord. —(Cheers.) 31r. HUNT felt surprised at the opinions delivered by the Hon. ll.nonet ; they were at variance with those he had expressed for the last 26 years. lair It. PEEL differed from the bonourable baronet in thinking that the minority should not be represented at all. If the majority were to have no share in the public councils, would the hon. ban. exempt them hem taxation ? (Hear, hear.) He repeated that it would be a sounder course to adhere to the ancient principles of the constitution, and give two members to each borough. For these reasons he would vote with the noble lord. Lord ALTHORP agreed with the right honourablel baronet, that it was highly expedient that the majority should be represented. As a general principle, be admit ted that it was better to give two members than one, but he thought that the minority would be represented even ac cording to the proposed measure. for it was not likely tint the feeling of the majority would be the same In all places. The feeling of the majority in one place was often the feel- Mg of the minority in another. He did not think that those towns would be discontented with one member. 'The effect of 'this motion, if carried, would be to increase the number of members above what was proposed by 26 ; or to withhold the fraseblee from 13 of The boroughs in schedule D. He dwell say that titer would be guilty of a breach of faith to the country, if after the Bill having met the approbation of the House, 26 additional members were to be given; for those remoras he should oppose the motion of the noble bed. Mr. WASON spoke in favour of the amendment. The House then divided, when there appeared : For giving two members to each Borough in Schedule D. .. .. 102 Against it Majority for Ministers .. 128 The Chairman reported progress, and the House resumed. 7 he other Orders of the Day were then disposed of ; and the House adjourned at a Quarter before Two o'clock. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FROM OUR ON , N CORRESPONDENT. PARIS, AUGUST 3. TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. SIR-It is at Thorn that all the pontoons des tined for the passage of the Vistula were con structed by Prussian engineers. The Cabinet of Berlin has thrown off all disguise; and now fur nishes to the Russian General succours of every description—soldiers, engineers, materiel, and war like stores. We had accounts this morning that a corps of the Prussian army had actually entered the Duchy of Warsaw ! Intelligence has reached Paris to-day, that the Court of Vienna has just received accounts of the death of the Archduke Rodolph, Cardinal and Archbishop of Olmutz, of an apopletic fit, which attacked him on the 24th at Baden. An estafette has also this moment arrived, which brings the news of the death of General Frimont in Italy. Letters from Lemburg likewise state, that Field Marshal de Aletterherm, Commandant General in Gallicia, has been attacked with cholera in visiting the hospital, and that he is in a bad state. His wife sunk under the same disease about eight days before. Tis•Prussiase-Gaseits, received this day, •sion tains no news whatever from Poland. Here, every thing yet remnins in uncertainty about the new ministry—the only thing certain is the retreat of Casimir Pericr ; and he owes his fall to an over-anxiety to remain in office. Various lists are handed about, but nothing as yet is decided. Marshal Soult stands most prominent among these, and his combination smells strongly of gunpowder. None of the other lists are de- cidedly of a warlike character. The intelligence of the Russians having crossed the Vistula, and a great variety of rumours current disadvantageous to the cause of Poland, caused great fermentation yesterday in Paris. In the evening, groups formed in the Palau Royal ; and about ten o'clock, an officer of the National Guard, wishing to disperse a group formed in tbe gar dens, was answered by cries of Vive les Polcnais! A s. les Rum ! Upon this he drew his sword, and was assisted by his fellow-labourers in the vineyard of crosses and ribbands, to disperse the people. The gardens were cleared, and the gates 'closed ; but the people again assembled in the adja cent streets. Upon which, the troops of the line and dragoons were sent for; and the latter, sword in hand, soon made a clearance of the " traiterosse villains" who dared to express their feelings for unhappy Poland. The Gazette d'Augsburg says that General Skrzynecki has received a letter from General Rosnieski, who directed the secret police of Warsaw before the revolution. That letter is important, insomuch as it indicates, on the part of the Emperor, an intention to put an end to hosti lities. General Rosnieski invites the Poles to draw near the Emperor with confidence :—" If for the present," says he, " all attempts of negotiation have been rejected, it was the fault of Marshal Diebitscb, who had sworn to exterminate Poland, whilst Paskewitsch is of a moderate character ; he knows how to appreciate the courage of the Poles, and is authorised to make some concessions," &c. General Rosnieski points out afterwards to the Poles the little chance of success which remains to them, and the impossibility of French intervention. The Revolution says that the news from Warsaw is of an afflicting nature. In a few days there will pass upon the banks of the Vistula such events as will draw upon the members of the Cabinet of the Palais-Royal an immense responsibility. When we think that this element of accusation is joined to the cession of Belgium to theEnglisb, the putting of the centre of Italy into the hands of Austria, the authorised massacres of the Italian and Spanish Patriots, the charge of a budget of 1500 millions, the consequence of a deficiency which is said to be considerable, and the violations of the chest of depots, they may well be frightened at the terrible charges which will weigh upon those Ministers, who have associated themselves to the policy of Guisot, Sebastiani, Soult, and Perier. The Frenck Lancet•eontnins the following post-'' script of a letter from Foy, one of the French physicians sent to Poland : " During the lest five or six days the cholera has made the most frightful ravaged at Warsaw. • in the space of four or five hours, those attacked sink under it, not only in the hospitals, but in the city. Two days ago, I lost an officer in my salon, in five hours ; and yester day (July 18,) during my visit, one of those at tacked, who had replied to all my questions, sunk as suddenly as if I had touched him with prussic acid. We know not what to do against a plague so prompt and terrible." The Gazette de France states, that what passed at the Chamber may be resolved by an arithmetical operation thus : There was in the first scrutiny for the system represented by M. Casimir Pater .. 171 Voices. For the system repeesentcd by Messrs. lalitte, Dupont de l'Eure, &e. 171 ... ouo Therefore, it may be said that France is without representation, and that there is not in the Chamber the representation of the national wish. I remain your's, Ea. J. Lle P.S. The 5 per cents. are at 84 fa. and the 3 at 52f. 20c. All is in confusion in the public offices. They are at work till eleven o'clock at night, making up their accounts. We yesterday gave place to the letter of our own Paris correspondent; and to-day as commentary written on the tot, we insert some extracts from the letter of the aronick Correspondent. It is an impassioned production, but it displays accu rately the feelings of the triumphant party in the French capital: Alter air bout of anxious solicitude in the chambers =leeks, the ballot was closed, and neither of the tee had obtained the majority of 178, far M.

Poor Dupin got only 163 ; and it is now very questionable whe ther he will be elected to-day as third or fourth Vice-Presi dent, for there are four Vice-Presidents as well as four Secretaries.

I shall sigh from my very soul if I hear of the reemeaury accesses el Paskewitath or Toll; but then my tears will be dried, sal my will be 'stopped, by the certainty, that cane what will, f dew rom this moment Palmed is saved. Pities wadi have sacrificed Poland to the Interests of stock-brokers ail legalised gamblers at the Bonnet bet he is defeated; and though Francs should, single handed, have to light the de of the Poles spinet all Europe, it will be fought--Ibeght bravely—god fought with nooses. Thire will, most probably, be an Europese war ! Do I rejoice at this ? By DO mesas 1 Abstractedly 1 deplore it; but I prefer war to slavery —war, to the triumph of Y. Ps. ria's system—war, to the swam of Russia against of Prussia against Belgium, of Austria against Italy,' of Spain against liberty all the world over. I prefer war to the humiliation of Franco—to the triumph of absolutism— to die re-establiahment of a Holy Alliance system of confer. elms at London, and to the seam of Priiee Talleyrand's diplomacy If compelled to choose between two evils, I will Wu the least; I will take the evil which, though Pea; must be temporary ; and I will prefer war and llberty, to pace and tyranny. If we mat light the last battle between the ciphers and the adllione—be. tween the Kings and the people—between enar, vies, and absolutism, and injustice, and tenth, virtue, civilization, and freedom, let us have it begun and terminated as roes as possible. Louie Philip, by his timidity and avarice, aided by the Outgoes and the Peden of France, has already given to the Austrian and Premien Governments twelve months in which to arm—and I know of my own per sonal knowledge, that the Prussian and Austrian Ambasea.. th em e both epesk in very civil terms of Louie Philip for the delay which bee thus been accorded, and for the dpre tu_ Mlles thus alluded to Austria and Prussia to arm 1 'The uoccrconsqls of Vienna and Bata are not, however, more Fateful gaga the Coast of fit.

Never, in any p c, of she history of France, were bet ambassadors treated wit!, so jud o respect; or her government with so much clu m ; as they have been during the last six months ! At londO•; the Prince Talleyrand was compelled to consent to an that Prussia, Russia, and Austria demanded wi t h reference . Belgium, before he was allowed to take a part in the ear, ( m ums—and when he ventured subs equent l y to difl4 from ; the other representatives of foreign powers, le wi t ea. even invited to the meetings ; but the discussions p ro . ceded, and Talleyrand was obliged to give way, at a sao r all the old treaties as the basis of the protocol,. Limit Itr had dons this, he was not looked upon as worthy to belong an Holy Alliance of 1831 ; but since then he has been re. ccived with courtesy and jesuitical politeness. Talett...! has governed at London the Minister of Foreign Main . t Paris. M. Mole objected to this; but Sebastian' 112. eted not only this, but a million of other insults and 'nj v i . : Talleyrand is for peace at all prices! Why is this? Ti ; day will come when I shall state all this, with name,. and facts ; but, till then, I shall abstain from assigning err . reason. The fact remains, and the fart is momentow. Petersburgh, France is represented by the very sam e A m i ss. sailor who represented Charles X. The Eniperot Nichols, would receive no one else ! Louis Philip was culled t o implore the Duke of Mortemart to leave Paris for Russia, as th e oi l, means of preventing war; though I have nothing to urge acne t the Duke of Mortemart, either as a man or an Ambasalar, yet he knows full well how very, vay often in his presence, during the last six months, the Government of France and Louis Philip, and the Revolution of July, have been in. tutted by the Emperor, and by Ms ageota ; and the mere fat. of the Duke of Mortemart being there as the French Arnir.s. seder, is an insult to the July Revolution; for it goesto that the Revolution is afraid of itself—that the King pla t e s no confidence in those who made that Revolution. —and 11.:.• Louis Philip is obliged to have recourse to those men for his Ambassadors, Ministers, and servants, Its arc necessarily attached to an old order of dings and eves to an old dynasty. How is it possible to insult France more than by such a line of conduct, and by such Dr. minadoos ? and if we look a little further, and ernmin: a little closer, we may ask what has the Duke of Mortemart dove Ow the cause of our Revolution. or for the cause of liberty at St. Petersburgh ; Just nothing at all ! Ido not blame him for this • but I blame Louis Philip an d in s doltish Counc il lors. The French Government has offered it , mediation to Russia, in favour or on behalf of Poland ! Well, was the offer accepted ? No—rejected with disdain. The French Government then protested and implortd ; in: the protests were laughed at, and new troops were rem to the banks of the Vistula. So again at Berlin ! Whln first the Revolution broke out in France, the rnocl. Minister in Prussia was charged to assure his Alajesty of the perfect friendship of Louis Philip, and of his tit. sire to continue an alliance which was dear to France' How were such friendly Wen and wishes received? Why with contempt and disdain. Prussia armed, and France asked why ? " Because it is my pleasure," said the King ; and Lotto Philip put up with the insult. Sine,' then, Prussia stated that she should not interfere on halal; of Russia against Poland, and Louis Philip privately re. joiced to hear this. But the Prussian Government made this voluntary promise when it thought that the Poles would be crushed in a sfew weeks. Since then it has altered its mind. For a long time past, as I have told you over and over again, when no one else knew the fact—it has been siding Russia, and crushing the Poles. French passports were treated with disdain at Berlin.and all through Prussia; and whenever the French Minister applied for reams he could never procure any. The pliant man who remains our interests at Berlin has been insulted fifty times by the Prussian Government, and his patriotic bean has been ready to break when he has found all his rentoostrance§ to his own as well as to the Prussian Government of no avail. At length the Court of Berlin has ao longer concealed its Mtn• lions, and it has loudly proclaimed " that it is inactive, but not neutral" Casimir Peeler would brook this insult and submit to this injury rather than endanger the pike of the funds by warlike demonstrations! and, lazily, what has been the position of our Minister it Vi enna ? Phials/it moat pitiable ! He was craned to demand his passports if the Austrian arm) entered the States of Modems oe Parma. but they entered in spite of his threats. Then he was ordered to stay at Vienna and de. mend his passports, in ease the troops should sneer the Papal States. Yet they did enter, and be woe told to Nip.

At length the troops kit the Pori Mass, Wooly for the frontiers, ready to return at a mensent's nodes ; awl then the ambassador ventured to ask why Annals mmlnual to arm ? What was the reply ?
