Various private Bills were forwarded a stage. In the course of a conversation on the subject of Indian corn, which arose out of a question put by Mr. M'CARTBY as to the regulatik4ns under which Indian corn was to be distributed to the penpie of Ireland, Sir R. PEEL stated that it had been found already that persons who had been subsisting upon that article were able to do their work better, and to work for a longer time, than they had been while subsisting on potatoes; that the people found Indian corn both palatable and nutritious, and that all prejudices against its use were fast disappearin g. The Right Hon. B aronet also said that foreign wheat was much required in Eng land for the purpose of mixing with English N 4 heat. Foreign wheat was now subject to a duty of 18s.; but if the proposed corn-law were in operation, it would be imported at a duty of Is. Oatmeal, also), which was a great article of consumption in Ireland, would, under the new corn-law, come in at a duty of Is. Indian corn was only admitted duty free by Treasury Order, and he therefore urged upon Hon. Members connected with Ireland, to permit the first reading of the Protection of Life and Property in Ireland Bill, to take place with as little delay as possible, in order to expedite the passing of the Corn Bill. After a few words from Mr. EfAwEs and Mr. BORTHWICR, Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN urged the Government to the propriety of facilitating the passing of the Corn Bill, by postponing the Coercion Bill. Ile admitted that the in troduction of the Indian corn had alleviated the dietreaa in Ireland, and concluded by asking if there was any in disposition manifested on the part of the Irish authorities, to avail themselves of the provisions of the Public Works nd Companies Works Presentment Bill? Sir J. GRAHAM was glad to say that the applications to the Board of Works had bean very numerous. He re gretted, however, to have to state, that there wns an in disposition on the part of some of the grand juries to carry out the provisions of the Bill. Several other Hon. Members took part in the conver sation, and the subject dropped. The Committee on the Art-Unions' Bill was post • poned for a fortnight. The Railway Deposits Bill passed through Committee. In answer to Mr. LABQUCHERE, Sir R. PEEL stated, that he should advise the Board of Trade to issue a cir cular to the varicius railway companies, informing them of the principles on which the proposed Bill for the re gulation of railway companies, to which he had alluded the other night, was intended to be fiunded. In answer to Mr. 'FUFNELL, Sir J. GRAHAM stated, that he did not despair of carrying a Bill to amend the Metropolitan Buildings' Act during the present session; but that the Bill alterin.4 the Law of Settlement, the Highway all, and the Militia Bill, besides the third reading of the Corn Bill, would have to be disposed of previously, A long conversation followed on the subject of the business of the House, in the course of which Mr. J. O'CoNNEII. stated, on the part of the Irish Members, that they were willing to withdraw their notices of motion for the days fixed for the discussion of the Corn Bill, but that they were determined to persevere to the very uttermost in their opposition to the Coercion Bill. At its rising, the House adjourned to Friday, the lath instant. Throughout the speeches made on Monday night, during the resumed discussion upon the Bill for the Pro tection of Life in Ireland, search is unavailing for any tangible reason against its propriety, or necessity. On the contrary, we find the strongest confirmation of the iews we have felt it our duty to put forward upon this subject. Lord MORPETII, one of the most ardent well- wishers to Ireland, one whose philanthropy would not suffer by a comparison with that of any other person—a statesman, too, whose experience in the conduct of the political affairs of that country qualifies him to speak with peculiar weight upon any question affecting its interests, tor good or for evil —declared that he would be no party to augmenting the difficulties of the Government with respect to Ireland, or in refusing to them the extensive powers they de. mended, which, as it seemed to him, were for a limited time indispensable for the safety of human existence. He successfully combated the speciousness of Mr. DILLON BROWNE'S argument, drawn from a capitulation of the fearful crimes that have been committed in England, by pointing to the distinguishing feature between the most serious offences in either country. In the former, they are isolated acts, which meet with no sympathy, and which are promptly dealt with by the healthy and vigorous administration of the law. In the latter, they result from an organised system, and are coun tenanced as justifiable acts of retribution by a large number of an excited and misguided population, and. unhappily, are seldom overtaken by the vindicating arm of justice. Lord MORPETIi expressed the alarm he felt at the criminal statistics and their adjuncts, adduced by the Ministry, and, with that sincerityand candour which have ever marked his Lordship's public career, declared that he was too cognizant, from the past, of the diffi culties that environed the duty of those charged with the governance of Ireland, to allow him, except upon rea sons of the utmost cogency, to take any course calcu lated to compromise or defeat the benevolent efforts of the Executive, in order to bring the assassin and his abettors to an exemplary punishment. And thus we have the valuable testimony of the most influential speaker on Monday night afforded to the merit and necessity of the course recommended by the Govern ment. It must be borne in mind that these are not the times when any Minister would dream of curtailing the liberty and constitutional privileges of the subject, except when an irresistible sense of the duty incident to his position left him no alternative. Above all, would the Premier willingly press for legisla tion upon this subject, and hazard the delay its discus sion is so likely to produce in the progress of the great measure for the free introduction of corn into the country, and with respect to which tie has given such convincing proofs of his sincerity, unless he felt the imperious ne cessity, as well for the honour of human nature as the sustentation of the dignity of the law, that her MA• JF.STY'S loyal, though humble subjects, shall not, with invl unity, be hourly the victims of the handed assassins who have already extended the red hand of violence over five of the counties of Ireland? We do net blame the Irish Mewl-ers for rendering this Bill a fit occasion for eliciting the grievous disadvantages, political or other wise, under which their country may he prevented from rising in the scale of nations—far from it, we hom mein fully justified. But we think they have not chosen the most seasonable time for this purpose. The second dos anhas i o.nt stazes of the Bill, as indicated by the Minister, would have amply sufficed for enlarging upon such matters, though, as we noticed some days ago, they are not strictly relevant to the mea sure, considering the admission by men of all parties, that the blood which has been so wantonly shed was in no wise the result of political disaffection. But it is a strange mockery of patriotism, that whilst they tender their warmest thanks to the Premier for the extraordi nary measures of relief he either has, or is about to secure to Ireland, and in which he had no hope of succeeding short of the greatest personal political sacrifice ever made by any public man—the Irish Members should thus; eagerly, hopelessly, and unnecessarily use their chartered privileges as legislators for arresting the progress of the most important measure which can at this moment be possibly passed for the welfare of the empire at large. The Government will not be held responsible for this unreasonable consumption of the public time, and the serious stagnation it causes to the commerce of the ! country. Were the opponents of the measure but nu merically large, in place of being but a small minority, there then might be some palliation for the course they are now pursuing. But, not only are they limited in number, but there are want ing to them the chiefs of the Liberal party, Peer and Commoners, who have heretofore on all the pro minent questions of Irish policy so steadfastly and uni formly stood in the same ranks with themselves. Amongst those to whom we refer, there occur to us at once the names of MELBOURNE, LANsnowNE, CLkNBI CARDF., GREY, Lord J. RUSSELL, MORPETU, &C., &c. We must repeat, too, our deprec,t ion of the line of ar gument adopted by Mr. O'CONNELL and his colleagues, namely, that remedial measures should in the first in stance be originated—the one principally required of this character, and especially for the eradication of the chief incentive to crime, has reference to the relation ship of landlord and tenant. Of all questions the most difficult to be handled, and the most Fable to be encoun tered by a considerable opposition, none other could well he indicated. It naturally fellows that no question is likely to take up more time in deliberation before it van be shaped into a law, unless the Government should t e singularly felicitous in framing a measure for the end desired. Supposing, then, that a long period must elapse before this consummation can be attained, or supposing the Parliament should be unable to unite in their council., is murder still to stall( unmolested across the land ? Assuredly not. More over, as far as the debate has as yet progressed, it has not been demonstrated that former Acts of coercion have been unfruitful of salutary effects. And until this be done, or until we can discover any valid answer to the arguments we have formerly urged upon this topic, as well as to the tendency of the remarks we have now made, we shall net cease to lend the Government for the irksome and painful, but necessary and merciful mea sure, which they have proposed for the preservation 0f life and the security of property in Ireland. One more allusion to the recent trial at Rouen, and the acquittal of M. BEAUVALLON by a jury of his coun trymen, and our commeatitie upon that melancholy in vestigation shall cease. On a former occasion we ad duced this duel for two reasons—as another and start ling exemplar of the fallacy, not to say cruelty of our so called code of honour, and especially for the purpose of directing attention to a most ad mirable arrangement in the administration of the law in France, whereby the survivor, though acquitted of the charge of criminality, is compelled to offer the only other substantial species of compensation to the relatives of his antagonist, by the disbursement of an equitable fine, as well as by becoming individually responsible for all legal expenses. While we endea voured to render these deductior.s manifest, we likewise detailed the circumstances attendant upon this particular rencontre, anddrew such other inferences from the trans actions as presented themselves from the heinous character of the revealed facts, and the suspicious ob scurity in which others were enveloped. It becomes, therefore, no small source of satisfaction to us to observe the condemnatory language with which this editorial combat in particular, and the vice of duelling in general, are treated by the most influential portion of the French press, and the accordance of their own sentiments upon the matter with those already ex-pressed by ourselves. Our readers may remember that 'before an action could be instituted against M. BEAVVAL &ON, a grieTous delay arose from the contradictory explanations of the tribe nals as to the articles of the penal cede. They may remember that considerable opposition was vi-ible in one quarter, when the law officers of the Crown endeavoured to render duelling synonymous with murder, and conse quently liable to the same inflictluns. Nor can it assuredly be forgotten that the four articles of the penal code upon the application of which to the duellist the Avocat-General placed his principle reliance as a means of eliciting retribution, ware 295, 296, 297, 302. Now it is not uninteresting to notice the merely inferen tial manner in which the gentlemanly vice is linked with the operation of these articles. They are couched in the foliowing comprehensive terms:— " Art. 295. Homicide committed voluntarily is murder. " Art s . 296. Every murder c omm itt e d w ith preme dit a tion, or guet a pens (lying in wait), is an assassination. " Art. 297. Premeditation con.ists in the design formed before the act to attack a particular person, or even the de sign which may arise (qui set troure ou rencontre), even although this design should be dependent on some circum stance or condition. " Art. 302. Every person guilty of assassination shall be punished with death." From the wording of these statutes it must be evident that other clauses, or possibly other epithets, are want ing to render them directly applicable to the crime of duelling. And that the detestation of our neighbours is not wanting to encourage such an interpolation in their system of jurisprudence, is most apparent from the expres sions employed by their most important political organs. Commenting upon duelling, Galignani's Messenger says— " And a great moral crime it is, whatever our modern rafines, or even those who fight under false notions of honour. may say !" That is assuming the most sensible the only sensible view of this egregious anomaly in civilization. It is but just and rational to seize every opportunity of stigmatising it as a relic of barba rism in the days of enlightenment. And on this account it is that the National reviews the Rouen trial in a spirit of remarkable acerbity. It inveighs against duellists as the spawn of '• moral debauchery and poli tical debauchery," and r asses sentence upon divers of the parties implicated in the affair in tones of especial and virulent disgust. Upon this, however, the Quoti dienne passes a kind of negative approbation :—" It is all very well," it exclaims, "to cover the systems with reprobation, but why not go up to the principle of corruption ? " True ; but that is to be an after labour : the disease must be ascertained and acknowledged by the consulting physicians—thP public —before the remedies can be applied, or the operation for its removal be commenced. Probe the wound to the very bottom, then pour in the balsams. A better, a more healthy, and more hopeful tone has the Courrier Francais. It is more sanguine of the effect of popular opinion. It observes : "The afflicting spectacle which this world of roues of fine fellows living by the Ministry and by lansquenet, has just offered to the country, must not discourage us and cause us to despair of our generation." In that wholesome mode of regarding malady of the most civilsed systems in the world, the Journal des Ddbats lifts up an emphatic ♦oice, while at the same time it regards the issue of the re• cent trial at Rouen as a triumph in the cause of out raged morality, and possibly as a forerunner of better thing'. May that aspiration be realised ! We cannot but coincide—perhaps because we wish to do so—in that remark of a Parisian contemporary, that, according to an old saying, the disclosure of an evil is the commencement of its cure, and that consequently a recurrence of such expositions as those in the case of M. BEAUVALLON would conduce to the speedy eradicatic nof duelling. It is especially in one particular that the French papers are so unanimous, namely, in the licentiousness lurking in secret as well as visible portions of the community, and the demoralizing influence of puling, and similar ille galities. In this opinion, we fear, there is unhappily too much reality. By imposing some onerous penalties, pecuniary or what not, upon the duelists, we feel satis fied, however, that a great step in advance will have been taken, and that the bulk of the dark system will have been sapped to its foundations. We have received Madrid journals of tl - e 31st ult. It would appear that Count BRESSON, the French Ambas sador at the Court of Madrid, had taken the new Ministry under his protection. All the Members of the Cabinet dined with him on the 31st, at the French Embassy. We have no doubt that the QUEEN and her sister will, in due time, be married to parties selected or approved by the Court of France. In Spain no measure of importance can be done in a straightforward way. A plot, a conspiracy, an edict of the Camarilla, or a coup cretut is absolutely necessary to carry a reso lution ot . the Cabinet, or rather its chief, into effect. But little business was done on the Madrid Bourse. Three per Cents., for cash, 32; for time, 32k; Five per Cents., for time, 21k. The Journal des Debut? gives long extracts from the Indian dispatches, describing the battles of Aliwal and ;;,,hraon. and the succeeding operations, and in the fol lowing brief remucwo a—. iustice to the bravery of :he British forces and the moderation of the (iovernor- General :—" The war in the Punjaub is at an end. Cool courage and firmness gain battles, but moderation in success produces still more advantageous treaties than victories. Such is the glorious example set by Sir HENRY HARDINGE for his successors in the government of India. We resume our account of the events which have occurred in four memorable weeks, from the 19th of January to the 19th of February, a period signalised by two victories, by the partial destruction of the Seikh army, by its expulsion from the British territory, and, finally, by the submission of the Seikh Government." The moderation and impartiality displayed by this Go rernment journal are entitled to great praise, and it is (feeply to be regretted that its bright example is not better followed by certain of the London papers, as well as most of the organs of the Opposition in France. The ConstituVonnel begins to consider that the United States are, after all, not the best friends of France. It contains a long article on the proposed new Customs' duty laid before Congress, and shows that it will most injuriously affect the iuterests of France. The Courtier Francais says:—" There is some idea of joining to th e u-dron of evolution how collected at Toulon a division f steamers. The squadron has taken on board five months' provisions, and everything leads to the supposi !ion that the squadron still put to sea in the second ortnight in April. If the Grand Duke CONSTANTINE shGuid visit that port with his division, the Prince DE JOINVILLE will accompany him to the coast of Italy.' The following remarks respecting the Empress of RUSSIA appear in the Courtier de Marseilles : " We receive fresh details relative to the r.•sidence of the Empress of Russia a'c, Naples. Our correspondent writes as (illows:--‘ Amongst the eccentricities which the Empress of Russia exhibits at the Court of Naples several are named, as denoting what superiority this august traveller assumes ever all that surround her. king Ferdinand is remarkable for iris courtesy towards strangers, and for his delicate attentions. Nobody can carry further his desire to be agreeaLle to the illustrious travellers whom the salubrity of the Neapolitan climate inducts to make some stay in his capital, and no bAy bet ter understands the slight shades and distinctions of high s)ciety. On the arrival of the Empress, the King went out to the vessel to receive her; on the shore, the Queen and royal family were assembled to meet her. The lading took place in the Darce, which is always reserved for the royal use. The Queen had a magnificeat apartment prepared for the Empress in his own palace, that of Chiatumone, usually appropriated to visitors of princely station, not ap• pearing to him splendid enough. Ile invited the Empress to his tahte, and here a strange eccentricity takes place. Every Jay that the Empress is to dine with the King. she never fails to send, in the morning►, one dyer officers to invite the . - King to dine with her at his own table. If that be Russian etiquette, the politeness of it is not understood here; or rather, the following meaning is attributed to it—that the czarina would not permit a king to sit down, even in his own palace, by her side, without giving him permission.'" i,„t rs i l t o io s n t s o l f ate th ly e p r r aris e t j e ( u r t n o a l t s h e " t h % a i n m b a e r r t i o e f i e D s r o p t u t i t e h e e , enumerating certain grievances to which Protestants ,re subjected in France. The Journal dev Deka:, with some truth, contends that the law as regards religious liberty is more just and lenient than inmost other coun tries. We give the remarks which apply to England:— "We know not how M. de Gasparin'ean quote to us the examples of foreign countries—of Prussia or of England. Switzerland, in fact, presents to us very encouraging ex amples, and without speaking of the sanguinary war which we have recently seen break out hi that country, let us only consider what is Row passing in the canton of Yawl, a state democratic par excellence. As to England, it is certain that a liberty almost unbounded reigns there ; but liberty is not equality. In England you are free to preach what doctrine you choose ; but only endeavour to get into any public office, into Parliament, or into the Universities, and you will then be asked what religion you profess. It is not twenty years since Catholics and hissenters saw in that free country every public career close to them, and even now a seat in Parliament is interdicted to certain sects; and last year they were also ex cluded from the exercise of municipal functions. Would those who here claim absolute freedom of religious worship exchange French equality for English liberty ? The truth is, that there is no country in the world where the principle of liberty of conscience forms so intimate and essential a part of its institutions as France, where so many complaints are raised on the subject. Between those four walls which can not be opened in our country without the authorisation of the Slate, the conscience is more at its ease, and breathes more freely than it can do in any of the open-air conventicles in Great Britain." _ _ The Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha incurred some danger, on the 31st ult., when out••driving at Marseilles. His horses having run away, the Prince jumped out of the carriage, and fell on the road. Fortunately he escaped with only a contusion on the leg. The Sud of Marseilles states, that his Royal Highness is to embark in the Amsterdam steamer for Malaga, whence he intends visiting the Alhambra, on his way to Lisbon.

A special general meeting of the Eastern Counties Company was held yesterday at the Station, Shoreditch, at one o'clock—G. Hudson, Esq., M.P., in the chair—fur the purpose of obtaining the sanction of the sharehol ders to the following Bills now before Parliament:— A Bill to repeal so much of the Cambridge Improve ment Acts as might authorise the levying of any tolls on railway carriages. A Bill to enable the Eastern Counties Railway Com pany to make a railway from Tottenham to Barnet. - A Bill to enable the Eastern Counties Railway Com pany to make a railway from Hertford to Huntingdon, with a branch to Bedford. A Bill to enable the Eastern Counties Railway Corn pang to make a railway from Tottenham to Farringdon. ,treat. A Bill to enable the Eastern Counties Railway Com pany to make a railway from the Eastern Counties Rail way at Cambridge to Lincoln, with branches. A Bill to enable the Eastern Counties Railway Com pany to make a railway trona Lincoln to the York and North Midland Railway, at South Milford, in the county of York. A Bill to enable the Eastern Counties Railway Com pany to enlarge their stations in London and at Strat ford, and for other purposes. A Bill to enable the Eastern Counties Railway Com pany to make a railway from Epping to a point of junc tion with the Eastern Counties Railway, at or near the Ilford station thereon. A Bill to enable the Eastern Counties Railway Com pany to make a railway from a point of junction with the Brandon and Peterborough Extension of the Eastern Counties Railway, in the hamlet of March, in the parish of Doddington, in the Isle of Ely, and county of Cam bridge, to the city of Lincoln. All the Bills were unanimously approved. The only observations that occurred were made by the Chairman, to the efftct that the connexion with the York and North Midland line would be likely to carry out the anticipa tions which he had held out at the last meeting, of in creased profit. The Lincoln and March line was a loop line originally announced by himself at Derby, and was subsequently taken up by the London and York Com pany. The CHAIRMAN said that he was happy to congratu late the meeting on the unanimity which prevailed, be cause he believed it was a good augury of future success. There was another source of congratulation in the in creased traffic for this week—it had been 7,445/. 4e. 7d. ; they had carried 2,000 head of cattle and 4,200 sheep. There were now forty-eight trains per day in and out of the station at Shoreditch ; and though all might not yet be done which it was desirable, yet still much had been effected, and he did not doubt but that the traffic would prove as much as 10,0001. in August. The shares were still far under their ultimate value, but they had passed well through the late panic, and he had no doubt but that in the course of time they would be fairly appreciated. There had been a severe check, it was true, but there was another similar cheek in 1846, but wlrich was then partially occasioned by the disarrangement of the American trade. In addition there was a great jealousy in Parliament of all railway schemes, but it was undeniable that the country did require the facility for traffic, and under the circum stances none were such eligible parties for providing it as the old companies who were already estab lished, and who, if assistance were required, no parties would be so able to go to the moneylender with a good chance of success. Such being the ease, he felt assured of ultimate and complete prosperity, and he might appeal to the proprietary as to whether the pro. perty of the Eastern Counties Railway was not in afar better position than it was twelve. months since. This being his feeling, he was gratified in being able to say that the public seeere impressed with the fact that in the support of competing lines they would have to pay for two capitals instead of one, and thus it was very probable that the wildness of speculation would cure iteelf. The object of railway policy was simple in the extreme : to work a line as cheaply as was consistent with true econatny, to secure as much accommodation as possible for the public, and to obtain as large dividends as was consistent with fairness. The electric telegraph had already been com pleted. [Here the Honourable Gentleman read a com municatiun just received from the Chesterford station, which unnounced the snivel of the train at that place at twenty minutes past one o'clock, the time being then about twenty minute; to two o'clock.] This, would, no doubt, be of great advantage in pro viding additional security for the public in the event of any derangement of the trains. With respect to the opposition of competing lines now before Parliament, be had been astonished to hear an in fluential Member the other day state that it mattered not what the oifferential cost of a line might be, whether 500,000/. or 800,0001., for it was a well known fact, that no, line with the exception of the Stockton and Darlington line, had been :formed without the Company going into the money market for a loan, and as the old companies were the safest and the best customers. the probability was that the new com panies would have to borrow under very disadvantage ous circumstances. This was a point the more im. portant, inasmuch us Parliament was just now very in tent lion the abstraction of money from general com mercial enterprise to the formation of railways. He had endeavoured to rectify the evil which might arise to original shareholders in new companies. As the matter stands at present a scripholder who had purchased from the original allottees might, in the event of the concern turning out a bad one, put his scrip into the fire, and leave the individual who had signed the contract deed to pay whatever loss might be incurred. The remedy he had himself proposed was to compel the scripholdersetio; sign within a definite period, an d t h us take upon himself the responsibility which w as ot h erw i se sustained by a party by whom it ought not to be borne. In conclusion, he trusted that the Directors would be able to give a better dividend each succeeding meeting for some time to come, and that they would be able to say that the traffic amounted to 10,0004 in August. He was happy to say that the utmost unanimity prevailed among the directors. Tho Hon. Geutleman was continually cheered through out his address, and after a few inquiries from a share holder, respecting Mr. Atwood's Harwich line, to which the Ohairman IN plied that the Eastern Counties Com pany were likely to receive from, and were ready to give, every facility to that company, thanks were voted to him and the meeting separated.

The cause appsars to be the following t—Th,re having been much rain fallen on the Saturday and Sunday, occasioning a push or swell of water, the tumbling-bay gates not being drawn up, the mill was set in motion by the over flowing of the water, inundating the lower part of the mill, and the stones having nothing to resist them were propelled round with such velocity as to cause ignition of what powder was under them, blowing the roof away and cAusing other damage. The spot where this occurred is about GO. or 710 yule from the back ~trt to the town, and if the other in it had fired no one cat, tell what would have been the conse quence. li l tiODC - )CIKS. —There is an unusual number O g fw tZ 4 d l - 1 cocks in Sussex this spring.

Sir—The lava brilliant achievements in India having caused, in the public mind, an extraordinary interest in hntever relates to the gallant Govelior-Gener}il of the British possessions in that portion of the globe, I beg to hand you, for the gratification of your readers, the ac companying memoir of the military services of Sir H. Hardinge in the late French war, written by his friend and companion in arms, the late Lieutenant-G enera l Sir Benjamin D'Urban, from whom I received it at the time of the general election in the year 1820. Sir Henry Hardinge, I may observe, was elected, at the time of which I have spoken, one of the Members for Durham, which city he continued to represent, with some little interruption, arising from his acceptance of oflic as Clerk of the Ordnance and Secretary -at-War, until the dis,,olution of Parliament consequent on the death of George I V., in 1830, a period of upwards of ten years, during the whole of which he enjoyed the respect and esteem of the inhabitants, while he was almost idolised by that portion of the freemen who supported him with their suffrages. I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, FRANCIS HUMBLE. Advert;ser Office, Durham, April 4. Sir Henry Hardinge (the near relative and intimate friend of the gallant Lord St e wart') is the second hero whom the present generation of his house have devoted to the service of their country. His brother, Cap tain Hardinge, of the royal navy, after a brilliant pro fessional career, in which deeds of skilful intrepidity won his successive pr omo ti ons , at l engt h comman d e d the San norenzo in the Indian Seas, and fell in the mo ment of victory, at the close of a three days' action (re newed by him each day) with La Piedmontaise, an enemy's ship of far superior force, which was then cap tured. He died in his 27th year, but full of glory; and by a vote of Parliament, a monument in St. Paul's Cathedral records his achievements, and the approbation of his country. Sir Henry Hardinge entered the army young, and joined his regiment in Canada before he had attained the age of 15. He returned to England at the Peace of Amiens, obtained the rank of captain in the 57th regi ment in 1804, and having become a student at the Royal Military College under the late General Parry, pro secuted his studies there with all possible diligence and success ; and having accordingly made great proficiency in the more scientific branches of his profession, was selected to fill an appointment upon the Quartermaster-General's staff of the expedition which proceeded to the coast of Spain in 1807, under Sir Brent Spencer. In 1808, when Portugal rose to throw off the French yoke, Sir Brent Spencer's corps was united to that which had sailed from Ireland under Sir Arthur Wellesley (now Duke of Wellington), and Sir Henry Hardinge was actively employed in the successful cam paign which expelled the army of General Junot, and was present in the battles of Roleia and Vimeira; in the latter of these he was severely wounded. Notwith standing which, in the close of the same year, having been pitched upon to carry important dispatches from Government to General Sir John Moore, he performed the journey with singular rapidity, through many diffi culties, and delivered his charge to the general in the neighbourhood of Benevente. Sir John Moore, it is well known, remained himself with the rear guard of his army through the whole of his arduous retreat to Corunna which ensued ; and having attachpd Sir Henry Hardinge to his person, he accompanied him in all those severe affairs which every day took place with the enemy's advanced guards ; and, finally, was the only officer near that great and lamented general, when, at the battle of Corunna, in January, 1809, he received his death wound, and fell in the arms of victory. Sir Henry had just returned from ordering a move ment, of the troops which the general had dispatched him to effect, and was in the act of reporting its execu tion to him, when he was struck by the fatal ball. He supported the dying hero at this trying mom' nt ; and by the desire of his afflicted family wrote, for their in formation, the clear and pathetic account of that solemn and impressive scene, which is annexed to Mie Moore's narrative of the general's last campaign and death Returning to England with the army, he received the rank of major ; and in the month of March. in the same year, went to Portugal with Marshal Beresford, who had been intrusted with the organisation of the Portuguese army, to aid in the momentous struggle then about to ensue, and from which may be dated the delivery of Europe from the despotism of Bonaparte. The Marshal appointed him lieutenant. colonel in, and deputy quartermaster-general of, the army; and he im mediately became, and was through the whole war, one of the main instruments of the di , cipline and good order which was so effectually established in it, and of the brilliant and continued triumphs with which that dis cipline was crowned. In this capacity he served with the right of the allied army under the Marshal at the passage of the Upper Douro, in face of and driving back the corps of General Loison ' and in the subse q u en t o p erat i ons aga i nst the enemy during the pursuit of him into the borders of Ga licia. For his conduct upon this occasion he was men tioned in the Marshal's dispatches, and thanked in his general orders issued at Giuz 20th May, 1809. He then accompanied the Marshal in h;s command of the army of observation in Castile, during the Duke of Wellington's advance into Spain, and the battle of Talavera, and was employed in many important duties of that period. The next campaign was the famous defensive one of 1810, in which the Duke of Wellington foiled the in finitely superior forces of Marshal Massena. In this, the zeal, intelligence, and activity of Sir Henry Hardinge were very conspicuous upon many occasions, as well in the arrangetni nts belonging to his official duties, as in the various affairs of the advanced posts, and other operations before and after the retreat to the lines of Lisbon; and especially in the battle of Busaco, after which victory be was mentioned by Lord Beresford in his dispatches to the Portuguese regency, and recom mended by the Duke of Wellington for the medal of distinction granted upon that occasion, which he received accordingly. In the campaign of 1811, Lord Beresford having the command of the separate corps of the allied army in the Alemtejo and Spanish Estramadura, Sir Henry Hardinge was everywhere distinguished, as well in the many affairs which the active operations of that period produced, as in the siege of Badajoz, which formed a part of them, and at which he served ; but especially for his conduct in the memorable and glorious battle of Albuera, where, amongst many other instances of judgment and presence of mind, lie anticipated an order (which had been dispat •hed by Lord Beresford, but had not yet reached the general to whom it was sent) for an import ant movement at a very pressing period of the battle. He was mentioned in hieh terms or praise, both in the dispatches and general orders ; and after the battle re ceived the medal of distinction granted upon this occa sion, and was promoted to the. British r an k o f Li eut. - Colonel.- The eventcul cempaign of 1812 commenced with the siege and capture of the fortresses . of Ciudad Rodrigo and Badajn.z. Sir Henry Hardinge served at them both, and at the latter was particularly dis!ingui.hed in the storm of the strong out-work La Picaritia, where, it is not too much to say, the success of that important enterprise was mainly owing to his judgment and in trepid example. He was mentioned in very strong terms in the report of General Sir James Kenept, who conimended the as sault of the fort, and by the Duke of Wellington in his dispatches, and he received the medal of distinction granted on that occasion. After the capture 4,f Ilidaj , z, tte army advanced into Castile, besieged and destroy ,d the enemy's fot titled establishments upon the Toran a, an I thenee proceeded to those operations against Marshal Marnmet, which br,ught on the memorable battle of Salatnanca, and all its important results. In these operations, the Quartermaqer- General of the Portuguese army being aosent in the command of a corps of cavalry, Sir Henry Hardinge pet formed the duties of that post with his accustomed ability an I dis• tinction, especially at the atrair of Castrijou on the 18th, and in the battle of StlamAiett on the 2•)(1 of July, tor which he received the weds,' of distinction. During the winter of this year he received the mili tary order of the Tower and Sword for his distinguished conduct, and the services he had rendered throughout the war. In the brilliant and decisive campaign of 1813, in which the Duke of Wellington tnav be said to have cleared Spain of the French, Sir H:'-nry Hardinge, still doing the duties of Quartermaster General of the Por tuguese army, accompanied Marshal Lord Btresfordi i n t the advance t o Vi ttoria ; and in that battle, on tlie2l lie received of June. i n t h e m id st of his usual exemplaryr eived the exertions. was severely woun d e d i n t h e b o dy. medal of distinction granted uponthat He now received the rank of colonel Vittoria, he followed service, and, after a shor . t . stay :o 2 r t B n t e h d , in ne t e l a ie si P on o . rtuguese themthe armyi nthe an and attleaof. resumed t h ht t he . e tl at Pyrenees iea a.nodn againt he 2 P 7t e h r subsequent operations, al a severe surgical operation during d was still open, causing him great pain, and subjecting him to g 3 h Ot h h is J w ul o y a , a and in . a th n o d u the course of these exertions. For these battles he was again mentioned by Lord Beresford in orders, and received the medal of distinc tion granted upon that occasion. He sub s e quent l y served at the siege of St. Sebastian, and the operations of pas. sing the Bidassoa. s _ tie was present in the battle of the Nivelle on the 10th of November, and those of the Nive on the 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th, and 13th December. His conduct wag, as usual. conspicuously able and gallant, and called forth the most pointed praise and eulogium in the Marshal's general order of thanks of the 25th December of the same year. Sir Henry Hardinge was now appointed to the com mand of a Portuguese brigade of infantry, with which he proceeded to distinguhth himself in the operations of the campaign of 1814. In the affair upon the Adour, and iu crossing the Gaves, aid especially near o n Feb. 15, where, in conjunction with General Byng's brigade, he won some strongly occupied heights with the bayonet, and in the most gallant style, from very supe. rior numbers of the enemy, and for which he received the particular thanks of Lord Berestbrd in his general orders upon that occasion. lie was then engaged in the batti,i of Orthes, on the 27th of February, for which he received the medal of distinction (being the ninth conferred upon him in the course of this war). and in the subsequent affairs and operations, concluding with the battle of Toulouse, on the 10th of April, which was followed by the armistice and peace of 1814. He was again pointedly thanked for his eminent services in Lord Beresford's general orders, at OP- close of this campaign. During the , ole Penirbular wtr Sir H. Hardinge never sutr , red himself* to be übs4,nt froio hi; ditty by • Who, since the publication of this memoir, has succeeded to the Alarguilato of Loadoodorg. sicknes, leave of ahsencc, or any other cauce, except ing the very short periods (i 0 neither cc.° sufficient for that purrose) which he was cowpellid to devote to the cure of his wounds received at Vimeiro and Vittoria. After this campaign his Sovereign was graciously pleased to mark his sense of the signal services he• had performed, by conferring upon him a company in the Grenadier Regiment of Guards, and creating him a Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath. In this year Sir Henry rardinge accompanied his Noble Friend, Lord Stewart, to the Congress of Vi enna ; and in 1815, when Bonaparte returned from Elba, and the war broke out anew, the Duke of Wel lington immediately placed him at the head-quarters of the Prussian army, under Marshal Blucher, with the rank of brigadier -general, as a military ambassador and a confidential officer. This was an employment requiring not only firmness and military talent, but great discretion, judgment, and conciliation. His Grace had very rightly estimated his officer, when he thought him fit for this important mission, and the result fully justified his choice. Continuing with the Prussian army, he was in the obstinate and sanguinary battle of Ligny, on the 16th June, (which was followed by that of Waterloo on the 18th', and after having given proofs of great military talent throughout the day, in the suggestion of several movements Al hich tended much to retard the success of the enemy, his left band was shattered by a cannon hall at Marshal Blucher's side, whose unaffected grief for the misfortune was the best proof of the high opinion in which he held this gallant Englishman. Sir Henry tied his handkerchief round the stump, and remained on horseback till the bat le was over. His conduct upon this occasion had been so meritorious, and Marshal Blucher's report of the great service he had in dividually rendered so satisfactory, that the Duke of Wellington devoted a separate Gazette (of the 30th of June, 1815), to record his approbation of his behaviour, and his regard for his wound. He suffered this wound to detain him from his duty as little as he had done his previous one, although it occasioned the amputation of his hand, and from some attendant circumstances become one of peculiar torture and distress, for in one month from the time he received it, he rejoined Marshal Blucher, at Paris. He continued his duties at the Prusian head-quarters during the whole time of the occu pation of France by the Allies, and the two following facts will suffice to show how high his conduct had placed him in the opinion both of the Monarch, at the head-quarters of whose army he had been serving et such a difficult and delicate crisis, and of that consuls mate captain who commanded the allied armies. At the Prussian review he was decorated by the King himself with the orders of Merit and of the Red Eagle, and the Duke of Wellington personally presented him with the sword which he wore, as a mark of his regard. The long and brilliant series of services, h a stily re , corded in th e f orego i ng memoir, will speak for them. selves, and can require no comment. B. D'URBAN, Major-General. Hythe, Feb. 9, 1820. • THE POLISH INSURRECTION. The Austrian Observer publishes the following officio] document : The moment is arrived when it becomes possible t ( take an impartial view of the late events in Galicia, and in the Grand Duchy of Posen, and to examisl their cause. We shall complete this task in a point 01 view purely historictil, and we shall confine onr (Amer . ations within as small a space as possible. When till revolution tif Poland, which was attempted in the years 1830 and 1831 failed, a number of Polish emi.rants es' tablished themselves in rance, in England, and in Bel gium, who used ell the means in their power to disturl the country which they had quitted either voluntarily 0 by necessity. The emigrants divided into two factions who were in accord as to an attack, and postpone until a successful result snould be accomplished the triumph of their particular opinions. Thus each parti pursued a double direction—first, that which was cow' mon to both, the overthrew of the existing Government and next, their particular tendency, %filch it ay bi termed aristocratic, democratic, or communist, according as we are enabled to indicate the ceurte of their effort: The late attack, however, may be regarded as the wort of the democratic faction. It aas supported by partie in a higher and in a lower rank—the aristocratic part, which above all de-ires the overthrow of the Govern ment, and the conmunists, who thought they might Oil their own ends. In order to prepare the explosion theJ calumniated all the Government offs. era ; they see emissaries through the country to excite the popula . Lion to revolt ; they tlistributel 100,000 revolutions'', pamphlets, trifler the form of democratic catechisms, dis sertations, appeals to revolt, and instructions as to th' mode of carryin, on a guerilla war. Everywhere tb' assembled parties placed in the first rank of their Ps triotic actions the massacre of all who were not Poles recommending that they should be exterminated by de sword and dagger, and, if necessary, by poise n, as ha been incontestably proved by the instructions given b, the leaders of the insurrection. A council was held s the latter end ref the ruenth of November last, at whirl figured the self-atyhd deputies of the five districts repro renting the ancient kingdom of Poland, for the purposed facilitating their operations. These districts were tb; Grand ])uchy of Posen,Galicia, the kingdom of Pulses Lithuania, and the territory of the free city of Cracovt In their military plan they had placed in the firs line of their operations the capture of the fortresses ° Posen and of Thorn, if it were possible, and of a that fortress, situate in Old Prussia. The revolt was ill tended to commence simultaneously through the entire extent of the territories of Posen, of Cracow, an: through western Galicia. According to the antic' potions of the conspirators, an insurrection through tb rest of Poland would be the inevitable consequence 0 the first movement. The explosion of the insurrecti ol was fixed to take place between the 17th and the 21st .e February, and the instructions given to the leaders it the diff..rent districts were to that effect. The sucees i l of the first p ar t o f th e en t erpr i se was to h ave b een fq lowed by an attack on th e ki ng d om o f Poland. "1 certain lucky chance, o f w hi c h th e P russ i an G overn me° took advantage, caused the attack to fail on the O r tresses which were t o h ave serve d as t h e b ase o f theft future operations, and the insurrection in the Gran: Duchy of Posen was cons equent l y suppressed. Ti!i, instructions of the Central Committee prescribed, case the enterprise should fail in the Grand Duchy Posen, Posen, the explosion sh ou ld, nevert h e l ess, be attempted in the territory of Cracow and in Galicia. The Sena te of Cracow, and the is sidents of the three p r otecting powers, were app r i se d t h at a revolt in the territor y ° the republic of Crucow was on the point of commeneil The explosion wa s fi xe d f or t h e 18t h o f F e b ruary , an the conspirators w e r e at their pests The unexpeet`.; appearance in Crac ow o f th e sma ll garr i son o f Porigor. defeated the intenti ons o f th e consp i rators f or the , ' day, and deranged the calculations made of a respondil movement in Galicia.

In the latter circle the people used no violenc e ' until the conspirators had shot some p easants w ho re .. fused to follow them. In the oth er di str i c t s th e jest' s % gents were more moderate, and the population wag content with capturing f hem and surrendering them w e the authorities in the chief towns of the district. Set° insurgents, who endeavoured to propgate the m ove , meet in the district of Sandecz by forming isolate bends, by organising a system of plunder, and by exciting the peasants against their masters, wer e quickly subdued by some detach men t s of trooest aided by the men whom the insurgents ended' voured to seduce. The peasants whose masters we ll opposed to the insurrection have been seen, of their ow° accord, to defend the approach to their castles, and t f, repulse the ins urgents on their arrival. The attack oPO7 Cracow, which was intended to form an important par" as an example of what might be done, became bu t simple episode in this criminal drama, in consequence of the occupation of that city.
