E EV FIN IN G STAR. LONDON. TUESDAY, MAY 17. A Conference of the five Ministers of the great Conti nental Powers was held this afternoon, at three o'clock, in the Foreign Office, in Downing-street. Arrivals yesterday from Belgium describe the continuance of hostile feelings towards the tenacious King of HOLLAND; and Maestricht, Luxembourg, the city of Antwerp, &c. seem likely to be the bloody subjects of contention. It appears that MIGUEL had conceded the demands of France before the arrival of the French squadron. Mean ness and tyranny are forcibly exemplified in all his conduct. It seems to be affirmed, from too many quarters, that the Russian reinforcements from the East have arrested the career of DW ERN ECK I in Volhynia ; who, after advancing into the centre of the province, was forced back into a corner of Austrian Poland, in the South and West of his position. He had passed the Bug in the parallel of Zamosc, and advanced to Dubno, when his retreat was cut off by the Russian General RUDIGER, who repulsed him at Boromel, in his attempt to reach the Bug; and being driven southward, the northern corner of the Austrian provinces interposed between him and the Bug ; Ou entering this neutral territory, his forces escaped the Cossack spears ; but the Austrians caimed the right of dis arming them. This is said to have occurred between Brody and Tarnopoli, about 80 miles North-East of the Great Carpathian Chain, and in a mountainous district, which is likely to facilitate the escape of most of the fugi tives, who, it is said, amounted to 5,500 men. Such are the details of the Prussian State Gazette of the Ilth ; but there is consolation in the silence of the Austrian Observer of the 6th ; and it seems improbable that detailed intelligence could have crossed Poland to Berlin, in less time than to Vienna. It is possible, that if DwaRNECKI fell back towards Zamosc, some of his detachments may have been entangled in the Austrian provinces, as appears by the Vienna let ters. If true, to the extent of the Prussian accounts, it would give a new face to the campaign, and in some degree compensate for the losses of DIEBITSCH; for it would enable the corps of RUDIGER to advance to the Upper Vistula, and carry the war into Western Poland. Nothing but a general defeat of DIEBITSCH can wholly counteract it, and we therefore await the next advices from SKREZYNECKI with anxiety. Mr. BANKES last night resigned the contest for Dorset; shire. At four o'clock, the numbers were—for Po RTMAN, 1677; CALCRAFT, 1434; BATKES, 1169. A few mi nutes afterwards, Mr. CALCRAFT'S majority reached to about three hundred; and Mr. BANKES therefore retired. With respect to the Northampton election, we find, by comparing the state of this day's poll with that of the pre ceding day, it will be found that the numbers on Monday's poll were ; for A LTIIORP, 85 ; MILTON, 80; CARTWRIGHT, 92; KN IGHTL ET, 58 ; from which it will appear, that al though Mr. CA RTW RIG lIT spoke most exultingly of the number of voters which he should be able to bring up to this day's poll, he has only gained the slight majority of 12 on Lord MILTON. There is one thing more, which is most manifest from the state of the last poll ; which, is, that the county seems almost polled; for though there was an inter mission of a day between Saturday and Monday's poll, yet the greatest number of voters polled by either party was 92 : whereas upwards of 130 polled, within the threelfirst hours of the first day's poll. What other object, therefore, the anti. l reformers can have, in keeping open the poll, except that of measuring the length of the purse of the Charles-street Com mittee, against that'of Lords ALTHORP and MILTON, it is difficult to conceive; for Lord MILTON.-.of Lord ALTHORP we say nothing, for we consider him safe—is now 133 a head of his opponents on the gross poll; and as there are not to be found in the county any more pocket voters—for such we cannot help designating the free and independent alms house gentlemen, who were permitted by the Assessor to poll on Friday—though Mr. CA RTW RIG II T should continue to gain twenty-five on each day's poll, till the final close on Saturday, these slender majorities would avail him nothing. T hey certainly, however, have the effect of compelling the reform candidates, to go to the expense of sending down the London voters, who are beginning now to be in earnest about the matter, and to come forward to the Committee roou► fur the purpose of being sent to the poll. In this respect the fleeting yesterday at the Cross Keys, of which we spoke in our last, had the desired effect. It is also a satisfaction to us to state, that the Assessor has decided, that Dissenting Ministers, with endowments out of land, are entitled to vote. Indeed he could scarcely have done otherwise; they were held entitled to vote at the late election of a Coroner for Middlesex ; and at the present Dorsetshire election, they have been permitted to vote : in short, all the best-informed Lawyers are unanimous in their opinion in this respect. We hope, therefore, that the many worthy and conscientious men, who adorn the station they fill in those persuasions, will no longer entertain any scruples—as hitherto we believe they have done—about taking the freeholders oath. To the above we have little to add to our election news, but the resignation of Sir R. Vyv YAW and Lord VALLETORT, in Cornwall, after a poll of above two to :one in favour of the reform candidates. The Irish Elections proceed as well as could be expected ; and a considerable increase of the Reforming Majority from that country will be the result of the general Election. The conflicts of parties throughout the country are now nearly at an end ; and so victorious have the friends of Re form been, that, so far as the votes of the House of Commons are to decide the ultimate enactment of the Reform Bill, there is very little on which the most timid could found an apprehension. The future conduct of the House of Peers, becomes, then, the next subjeet of anxiety and conjec ture. We have already given it as our opinion, that a majority of the aristocracy will naturally support the Bill ; and one of our principal reasons for believing so, is, that we conceive the vital interests of the aristocracy are paramountly secured by the passing of this Bill into law• This is diametrically in opposition to what is absurdly maintained by some Anti-Reform writers; but, whatever might have been colourable in the reasoning of these writers, anterior to the display of public sentiment, which the pro sent Election has so conspicuously effected, there can hardly be an argument adduced to support such a doctrine now. It is now sure, that the influence of mere aristocratic rank in this country is as nothing, when put into competition with the substantial interests of the community ; and this being so evident, it becomes, as a deduction, likewise evident, that the aristocracy must work out the security of their own privileges—not by combatting,but by co-operating usefully, in advancing the general interests of the community. The days of feudal prerogative are gone. The days of habitual blind submission are gone. It still remains to them to keep the " vantage ground" on which they are placed, by proving that their elevation enables them to be of public utility, for that must in future be be the essence of all public power. As long as the Aristo cracy support their order by Public Virtue, so long will they be secure in all their privileges; for the tendency of the English Nobility, is fortunately hitherto such as not to have obliterated the favourable prepossessions of the people. Let them come forth and support the Bill, and the Order is secure; for as long as there are RUSSELS, GREYS, ALTHORPS, and FITZWILLIAMS, to prove its dig nity by its public virtues, never will they be begrudged, what the course of human events has recognized as rights. The cant of anti-reformers is, that revolution is progressiue ; but this is not revolution. The essence of revolution is vio: hence. This is improvement, which should be progressive; but its essence is Peace. The LORD LIEUTENANT has proclaimed the counties of Clare, Galway, Roscommon, and Tipperary under mili tary law, and increased the police and military in them, while he thus adds to their powers of action. CITY, ONE O'CLOCK. Consols, which left off yesterday at 831 to i for the account, opened this morning at 83/, since which they have been done at 821 for next time, and 83 for the account. The Steamers from Hamburgh and Holland having ar rived last night with the latest intelligence from the theatre of war, prevents us this morning from receiving any further information from that quarter. The Express from Paris has also arrived, but is of minor importance. The sur render of Dwernicki'a division to the Austrians, we are sorry to observe, is now confirmed ; and, according to St. Petersburg accounts, Russia is assembling a numerous force to subdue the brave Poles. We have very unfavourable accounts this morning from the Island of Antigua ; the negroes have rioted and set fire to six estates ; the inhabitants are assembling to take arms to defend their property ; the negroes want a Sunday's market, which the planters refuse to grant. Letters from St. Petersburgb, dated the 26th of April, state, that all the troops in the Eastern Provinces of the Empire, are immediately to be concentrated at Wilepole, where a great army of reserve is to be formed under the command of Count Tolstoi. CITY. TWO O'CLOCK. But little business is doing in the funds. Consols have been at one period in the morning at 831 to I, since which they have receded to 82i to 83, at which price they are at present. 'Tis settling day in the foreign market, and the differences are not extensive : all is going off well. We have received, via Holland, accounts from War saw, as late as the 10th May ; they do not give any infor mation in regard of the main army of the Poles; but state as follows : We learn that the Russian troops have pursued the corps of General Dwernicki on the frontiers of Gallicia, and that an engagement took place between the respective corps, when an Austrian division put an end to it. The Russian troops have retired into Volhynia ; but we have not as yet positive information that the corps of Dwernicki had laid down its arms. r Prince Leopold left town yesterday for his residence at Claremont. Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria, and the Prince of Leiningen, attended by Lady Catherine Jenkinson, Baroness Lehzen, and Sir John Conroy, left Kensington Palace yesterday, to pass some days with his Royal Highness Prince Leopold, at Clue moat, during the race-week at Epsom. The Duke, Duchess, and Prince George of Cumberland left town yesterday, for their residence at Kew. According to an account just published, the annual rental of property in the county of Middlesex, chargeable to the county rate, last year increased upwards of 100,0001. At the Queen's Drawing-room, on Wednesday, which was most numerously attended, whilst the distinguished persons were rapidly passing the throne, and when Lord Brougham, in his turn, had made his obeisance, the King said, in rather a loud tone, " My Lord Chancellor, will you do me a favour ? Will you ask the Judges, and some of the leading Barristers, to dine with me ? Make the day com patible with their convenience ; but I request that it may be soon." Lord Brougham bowed acquiescence and passed on. A drama of a singular kind has been brought out at the Cirque Olympique, in Paris, intitled " Les Lyons de My sore," in which real lions perform their parts, to the great delight of crowded houses; even kangaroos, boas, and other wild animals have been tamed, and taught to bear their parts comme des personae: raisonnables.—Atkeisenni. FOR THE STAR. . FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE EXCLUSIVE. PARIS, MAY 15. Sitt—ln addition to what I said yesterday, I am now happy to inform you, that this capital continues in a tranquil state ; and that the universal feeling is, that the Government had been unnecessarily alarmed. One point has been satis factorily established by the recent petty disturbances, namely, that so far from the National Guard being a power which rules the Government, they are a strong arm in the hand of Government, and being interested in the preserva tion of order and tranquillity, will support the government rather than oppose it. From what 1 witnessed in theee last days, I conclude that had Charles X. not been so impolitic as to disband the National guard, although the ordonnances would have been withdrawn, he would still have been upon the Throne of France. _ . . Very little occasions excitement in Paris, and the ap proaching death of the celebrated Abbe Gregoire, and a de termination to refuse him burial in consecrated ground, in consequence of his doctrinal heresy, has induced many to apprehend fresh disturbances. The Ministers, to prevent any conflict in sentiment with the people, have been endeavouring to overcome the scru ples of the priesthood ; and no doubt the Abbe will be buried as a Son of the church should am, &c. J. L. FRANCE. The King on Monday leaves Paris fur his projected tour, to the dif ferent fortified works. He will visit Rouen, Havre, Dieppe. &c. &IA return to Paris in ten days, Some of the Journals insinuate that the cause of his journey Is to throw his weight into the scale of the elections, and that he travels in that character for the House of Perier and Co. Tits DECORATIONS.—There is something to create serious thought, in all the events which have pressed forward, wave upon wave, in the course of the week. The attitude the Government has taken, tome than ever, during these four days, a character of po lice without dignity, and of imputation without good faith. The Jour nals are Its pledges ; those for whom 1,500,000 francs were recently voted, to act as reporters, to pervert facts, and calumniate good inter dons. Let us look upon things in their true point of view. Struck to the heart by the union of the decorated of July, power sought to re tract. The magistrates had recourse to personal influence ; they gained i some men with promises ; intimidated a few others with threa:s; and the sum total of these dark intrigues, at most, has been a hundred pro testations against the acts of the great body. Still it was necessary to act with deceit, as is proved by the Messages demanding siguatures to blank documents, and taking others by surprise. A banquet toot place, where men united by their political sympathies, drank with dosed doors, and formed their opinion upon the events of the day. The same eve. Ding, groups were formed upon the Place Vendome, and alatough no. thing characterised a connection between these two acts, though they bad even an opposite tendency, the ministerial journals received an or der to implicate them in one and the same accusation. More than this : fur some days the demonstrations of a pious grief off'ended the Govern ment; the crowns of violets; the bouquets thrown over a railing, canned painful surmises. The idea just then presented itself of profiting by an unexpected incident; the offetings of mourning a cre swept away; and thus, popular expressions threw the provocation of that act upon a party who would have remained indifferent. Titus, the following days furnished the desired evil : there was in the national guards who bar. deeded the streets, and in the curious who looked at them, au attitude of uneasy curiosity, and of vague disappointment. Perhaps, if we had been in .he secret of the comedy, we should find a new citapter to add to the memoirs of Vidoeq. No ! illusion is henceforth no longer possible. The present ministry would reduce us, in all its purity, to the lying and deceitful system which lost Charles X. and his partisans. When it is reduced to govern with the police, to pay so much a line for support and perversion, to confound In a polemique without good faith, all notions of truth and justice ; when, in order to combat men, whose purity Is beyond suspicion, they have recourse to imputations without proofs, to calumnies without foundation.—Oh I these are the moments when they betray their weakness ; and by avowing themselves unworthy to fight with loyal arms, they support themselves but by artifice, for they would perish by the truth.—lns Reoohstion. Esroaw Ile Esoimin.—England furnishes us with an admirable model in the practical good sense with which it pursues the work of reform, in the spirit of perseverance with which the king, the ministers, and the country. joindy,will accomplish a measure necessary to the public good, the opportuneness of which has been universally felt. Men who have grown old on the benches of the Opposition, who, all their life, have called for Parliamentary Reform, now, when power is in their hands, are faithful to their former life and principles, and to their political alit. totes. The nation, long bent beneath the weight of the sacerdotal and aristocratical oligarchy, marched straight forward to the the revision of its decsepid institutions, heedless and untimidated by old women's fears. The king lends his sovereign support to the plans of his ministers, and does not destroy with one hand what be has con. atructed with the other. This is the happy picture of union now pre. seated by England, and which we have no doubt will make it pass triumphantly and unscathed through the dangerous period of its reform. And let it not be thought that the ministers have not been reviled, and the monarch threatened. There, as in France, the privileged classes have held up the bug-bears of anarchy and republican scaffolds; they have entreated, conjured the king to save at once his crown and faithful people. The King replied by a dissolution of Parliament. The people are now replying by sending to the House of Commons a triumphant majority of reform members. Though, in England, " res.- prif we court pas les rues," as is said to be the case in France, the people must have some other qualities which will supply the deficiency, and enable them to see clearly into their affairs, and appreciate events at their just value. Their minds were not the least in the world disturbed by the window-breaking at the illuminations; the minis terial journals hardly condescended to mention it, and if you speak to an Englishman about kin a tone of alarm, be as civilly l as possible laughs in your face. The English nation must positively be either the wisest or the most senseless in the world. What a differ. ence between the social state of France and England ! What a differ ! cam between the civilisation of the two populations I Does it become us to be giving way perpetually to groundless terrors, and to act for ever under the influence of fear P—National. POLAND. Hamscrio, Maw 13.—The following is from the Prussian State Gavotte of May 11.—According to intelligence received yesterday from Lemberg, General Dwernickl, with an army of about 5,500 men and four pieces of artillery, has been driven out of Voihynia by the Rue. sian General Rudiger, and forced to seek refuge upon the Austrian territory, between Husiatyn and Brody. General Dwernieki was obliged to give up arms, ammunition, and hones, foe the purpose of being immediately handed over to the Russians, and be and his adhe. rents have, in the first instance, been sent through Transylvania to Hungary." The Austrian Observer to the Bth, has given no intelli gence of Dwernieki's reverses. Lzwaaao, Aram 28.—General Dwernicki has been forted to yield to the united force of several Russian corps. After having been beaten on the 18th inst. at Boromel ; after having lost 11,000 men in a series of engagements that occupied nine days, and baring been driven thirty German miles southward from the point at which he crossed the Bug, nothing remained to him yesterday but to take refuge with the remnant of his corps on the Austrian territory near Tarnopol. It seems to have been in consequence of the unexpected arrival of the Russian army lately stationed in the Turkish provinces, that Dwernicki became unable to resist the overpowering force brought to act against him. TURKEY. According to the Gamin paper._" The flames of discontent that have been so long kept under in Bosnia, have at length broke eat. The malcontents are desirous of establishing the ancient order of things, of driving away the Grand Visit, and annulling the cedes. mom of the Pone relative to Berrie. Bloody battles are Said to ban taken place on April 14. The insurgents ham it is said, tared to pay to the Porte an annual tribute of 1,000,000 of plarills, If they, are relieved in future frets tha detatatkin of a Visit, and are allowed to establish a Republican Ccnatitution, and elitist. thcir own rulers and °Ricers of state. These movements are attributed to the suggestions of foreigners, who have been for some titre at s, r , jvo, which is the centre of the commerce of the Levart." German papers to the 11th May have been rev Ivo,' t t, : , morning. They repeat the accounts previously rv(ei.td vi the submission of the Polish General Dwta !Chi ; 1, ,t st:11, that affair is involved in doubt, as regards its ultituz, effects. These papers mention the recal of Lord Cou our Ambassador at Vienna ; who, it is added, is to he c la s ceeded by Sir FREDERICK LAMB, brother of Lord 1 1 y. BOURNE. We annex a few brief selections: Vittwara, May 6.—Yesterday evening the marriage of IN !t op ,' Highness the Grand Duke of Oldenburgh, with her Roy.+l the Princess Cecelia, sister of Prince Gustavus Wass, was alit).— in the hotel of the Prince in the presence of the Imperial Court. l'ho Jablornuski, formerly Imperial Ambassador to the Court of Naples, been commissioned by bis Majesty the Emperor to go to Turin, with the congratulations of the Imperial Court on the accession of t l Prince of Carignan to the throne; he will set out for Turin to day o• tomorrow. Lord Cowley, the English ambassador at this Court, received fror London the day before yesterday his letters of read, and will be suc ceeded by Sir F. Lamb, the brother of Lord Melbume, as r was very generally reported, immediately on the change i n the Ministry last year. News has also just arrived here from Lemberg, that General Dwerneeki, who retreated into Gallicia on thc 27th of April, has laid down his arms, on being summoned so to do, L) the Austrian military authorities. VIENNA, MAT 6.—There are still various conflicting reports re. erecting the recruits on the frontiers of GaWeis. Some friends of the Poles affirm, that only part of Dwemecki•s corps has sought refuge in the circle of Tarnopol, and is not yet disarmed, as the Poles had made remonstrances which had been referred to Vienna to be discussed. They think it possible, that the Poles who had fled into the Gallician terra. tory, after laying down their arms, which would be carried slier them, may be conducted to the old Polish frontier, near Cracow, whence t t ey might return, without obstacle, to their own country. Others with more probability affirm, that the Polish fugitives will remain in a depot in Austria, till the end of the revolution ; but the military effects, arras, &c. as Government property, be given pp to the Russians. A Russian Courier, who left Saint Peteraburgh on the 77th of Aptil, has arrived at Vienna. Repassed through Lithuania, and affirms, that the insurrection in that province is almost entirely suppressed. Several of the insurgents, who were taken with arms in their hands, were treated according to the military law, and shot. VIENNA, MAY G.—Four per Cent. Metalliques, 71; Bank Shares, 1008.-411geutains Zeitung, May H. SPIRIT OF THE JOURNALS. HERALD.—If the Earl of Aberdeen had continued to the present time to fill the important office of Secretary for Foreign Affairs, the in. suits of Don Miguel to the British nation, and his repeated and gnu violation of the rights and liberties of British subjects, would have not only remained unnoticed and unatoned for, but, most probably, the suf. ferers would have been exposed to additional vexations for daring to complain, while the dastardly usurper himself received substantial marks of the favour and sympathy of our Government, for no other reason that we could ever discover than for showing to the world, on ewer" Possible occasion, that he held the power of Great Britain in die most ineffable contempt. The document Which produced the required concessions on his part was submissively regarded and complied with,not because of the justice of its demands, but because of the servile terror which its threats in spired—for it opened to him the prospective view of the "meteor flag of England"—the insulted, the dishonound flag—floating on its mis. sion of vengeance in the Tagus, and surrounded by the thunder-clouds of battle. Already the cruh of a throne raised in fraud, and perjury, and blood, resounded in his ears. His coward instincts prevailed over his inveterate malignity, and he submitted to humiliation, which is the proper and natural consequence of that injustice which obstinately re. slats every argument but force. The fact is, Don Miguel believed the old British lion was sick—peradventure dead—and, like his long-eared brother in the fable, he was liberal of his kicks. At length the lion roared, and shook his mane, and the assumed courage of the bully us. poratcd in grotesque terror and trembling submission ! POST.—The good cause of the Constitution, opposed as it has boo by all the artifices of our revolutionary Ministry, and the brutal farce of hired mobs, has been wore successj ul than could haw bens anti& paled I In England, the advantages gained by the Revolutionists a attributable, mainly to that organised system of outrage, which has in so many instances deterred the honest voters from coming to the poll, and in some even been productive of fatal consequences. In Ireland the same system of Tenor is pursued; but we are rejoiced to be natal to state that the utmost efforts of the Revolutionists in that unhappy country are likely to be counteracted by those of the long recognised tat friends of the Constitution I TIMES.—With regard to the numbers and character of its friends. the fate of the question is completely settled, and the Parliament Is indeed as near being reformed as any measure is neat being law, fen which little more remains to be executed, than the formality of of to it the Royal assent. For the effects of reform, with which we are so loudly threatened,—vie. its destructive tendency to the church, to the finances, to the throne, &e. we look upon all such trash with pity, as the audible and old womanish sobbinga of those who have lost their last ticket in the lottery of corruption. The Church will, doubtless, follow the example of the State, and reform herself, as • guarantee against revolution.— There its no destruction in that, but much security. The financial re sources of the realm will not be exposed to such squandering from the folly, or to such depredation from the knavery. ofjobbing /Wolof/Nand their profligate and insatiable supporters. There will be fewer wars rashly undertaken, and ignorantly and improvidently conducted : there will be no establishments kept upon a scale of such needless and monstrous prodigality. The colonial system and the commercial eyr tem, will be suffered to threw off the shackles of numberless monopo , lies. There will be no interested oligarchs to interpose between the Crown and country—to misrepresent the King to his people, and them to him, and to domineer over both by sowing jealousies between thew. The monarch will be secure, because the people will no longer be plun dered or trampled on in his name, for the benefit of irresponsible depre dators. Such is the ruin about to be wrought upon us by reform. However, the task of its honest advocates is not yet entirely fulfilled. Some struggles are still carried on by the ultra.Torles, with unrelenting, because despairing, obstinacy. Verissimo, who is noticed in the Lisbon papers as hHug been dismissed by Don Miguel, is one of the creatur:sef the tyrant, and had absolute authority in arresting air in dividual without cause or charge. Although he has been dismissed his official situation, Miguel has appointed lulu to a place in his household, and has given him a lu crative office in the customs.—Devonport Telegraph. We yesterday received papers from Van Dieman's Land to the 20th of November : they fully confirm our former accounts of the most serious insurrections in the island. His Excellency the Lieutenant-Governor (Arthur) had been in the field for six weeks, with a sixth part of the whole population —men, women, and children; and at the latest date, confident expectations were entertained that he would put down the tribes of the Aborigines, s he were hemmed in on every side ; the line of the British bad extended at first sixty miles, in a kind of semicirle; by ad vancing in a point on the sea coast it is reduced to twelve; he had divided his forces into twelve detachments, and the report is that they have enclosed the whole of the unfortunate ' natives. GIBRALTAR, APRIL 21.—8 y accounts received fro Tangiers it appears that an insurrection had broken out at Mequinez, where the Emperor is residing. It seems the troops, 12,000 in number, under the command of the Era' peror's nephew, who had been sent to occupy the reale! of Tremesen, in the Algerine territory, on the Frew' l invasion ' have disgusted the Tremezians by their e orbitaut exactions, and the Emperor, fearing a war, recalled them to Mequines, where gratification" were given to the army generally, making a difference , however, the household troops receiving three dollars, but Ithose returned from the expedition only two.
