D INNER IN HONOUR OF THE RIGHT HON CUTLAR FERGUSSON, ESQ. (Abridged from the Dumfries Courier of Wednesday.) tiieMo.nday last, the 26th October, was, in every sense of b oa :j a rd, a white day in the thriving town of Castle s• On that day a number of the electors in that Met of the county had resolved to marls the high esti I n ib a e t r i°l l . in which they hold the talents, worth, integrity, and Ilsi :ntY of their representative, the Right Hon. C. Fer the r;' by giving him a public dinner. At five o'clock, tte ,(11.air was taken by Major Culton, of Auclinabony, in N A ,l r ason-Hall of the Burgh. The dinner was provided li n s• Douglas, of the Douglas . Arms ; and fully one nd the Stewartry and forty sat down t o dinner. The Member fen tor,tewastry was accompanied by his friends Prince Czar- Count Z amoyes ki, an d L or d D u dl e y St uar t, M.P.

The toast was knori v : r d . in the most devoted, affectionate, and enthusiastic t ot . PERGUSSON rose amid general applause, and spoke t ors Yas follows :—Mr. President, Gentlemen, and Elec k of th e S tewartry o f Ki rcu db r i g ht—When I came of: n g s t You in 1826, I had to contend with the opposition spitiM"t powerful Government ; and this county had the o: to return an i n dependent Representative against the ° Pinent, and against the most strenuous efforts of the t a r : ) °atit families of the county.—(Loud applause.) I t at i t , nad the h on our to be elected six times the Represen -1,4'7 of the St ewar t r y. And under what circumstances !stl thus el ec t e d ?

In is , k at never looked to office ; those who know me inti lskse;Y can attest , the truth of this statement. I do not a o f my means, but they placed me beyond requiring it s i o rn olunaents. It is not unlikely that I might have had hands, before I did accept •, and only when tendered into Cl' r llands, b y Earl Grey, freely and unasked, did I make Si, .1 mind to join the Government. Lord Stanley and % w a ffles Graham at this time had seceded from Lord l eft 7 a Government ; and for the very reasons that they g joined —(Cheerino.) I will not trouble you with detail of all the measures of the last Session, but confine the Yself t° a few of the most. important. As to my vote on electi on o f S pea k er , I h ave no apo l og y to offer.— es• ear .) I supported Mr. Abercromby on account of the th at "nee of his political sentiments with my own, and i L havor e pe o t f h o ,s th er liberal Members ; and since his election I ° seen no cause to regret it. I also voted for Lord amendment on the Address, and again we left ittn e o l . ate Ministers in a minority ; and what did this Address ont ? I t only recommended to his Majesty's con- Re ration the absolute necessity existing for Municipal D ° 'ln----for placing the Corporations under vigilant l l ° lila 4 eue r control ; and subsequent proceedings show the cl e 4 ss ttYsor this step. I have seen the report . of a speech r Sorv,red the other day by Sir W. Follett (Sir . R. .Pee s nd lei ter-General) to his constituents at Exeter, in which he mils that he was convinced of the necessity of the elec th°,', o f the municipal officers by the people. It is a pity the learned Solicitor-General had not imparted his ,A/nvictionon this point to Sir R. Peel, who opposed Lord u:rPeth' s a mendment, when all that that Right Hon. n tlema would consent to was merely the consideration It o r th e report when it was laid on the table. Now, Sir t) ° t might have known of what abuses self-elected Cor brations were cap a bl e , in the absence of popular controul, 1 0 fact (am ong man y) that in the case of Leicester ' One p n wig. of the corporate funds had been squandered for the JPose of securing; the election of the Corporation condi ll• Sir R. P ee l, h ow e v er, says that on reading the Re ;Fi n n(' the C omm i ss i on ers he was satisfied of the necessity C orporate Reform. It is my conviction that, had he h e ll e la tned in . power, his measure of Reform would have th a n l afinitely less effective than that now given , crippled tl lnt u gh, s it may be, as contrasted with its w original form— kte m measure would have been sadly anting, in the li nd at Principl e of fuil and efficient control. Much less th e t he Dissenters occasion to be pleased at his efforts for re a , re moval of their grievances. But I will give another I t 1 1 , 3 n, for wishing to see the late Ministry out of office— al,tY believe that had they remained in power, we should thee,:last Ireland.—( Hear, hear.) Indeed so sensible were vtith be ral Irish Members of this, that to a man they np held frorn him their confidence ; and joined us in our liii p j )siti mt• Now they taunt us with unworthily !s w in ' received the support of those Members. But I will k i t ; witho u t fear of contradiction, that a more unfounded ba,„ 4l nY was never uttered by any class of men, or for any ti es r ° ,,se, than that there was a coalition betwixt the par t° ° f Lord Melbourne and Mr. O'Connell, or that on the t oo l' taking office he was bound to him more than he was Dl e , rig to the nation by his public professions and princi- Ir l a But I should like to know if those who boast so it .'" l , l ` of their political integrity—if the Government of Robert Peel would have refused the support of the o t . Memberss.( l, ember for Dublin if it had been offered to them ? °Li d applause.) I firmly believe that they would have tlpeed • 't as a mighty accession of strength, for I have seen for t b" ai ne party applauding Hunt and Cobbett to the echo ii h ' e Purpose of winning them over ; yes, I have seen Si, t the rival of one of the most accomplished of orators, th e obert Peel, and actually more than divide with him echeers o f t h e opposition benches. And would they to r efused the Member for Dublin after this? I know as i t w hat the late Solicitor-General means by " a coalition founded in principle as any that ever darkened or Th e d eed the history of political intrigue in the country." Will are reported to have been his words. Are they, ob ask, applicable to the case of Lord Melbourne ? itb a c ti ?,alition, to b e disgraceful, must be founded on the ado of principle to gain over an opponent. termed Lord Melbourne surrendered one principle or al- Ilsr, One opinion which he formerly prcfessed, for the t'O r r d Se °f gainin.'

Can sch o Melb ourne be blamed for receiving the votes of men th n juPport hi m for his public principles, and the belief th e i ) I F Is prepared to do justice to Ireland ? Again as to silo s lasenters ; will we be blamed for accepting of their ti on Vt, although they are opposed to the provision sane °f "by the State to the Church ? Have we ever heard A n d t ninister who rejected their aid for such reasons ? No. atip o celeb ra t e d p erso n has said, that "until I find their tlr k ,: f t inconsistent with the Constitution, I will not with- Wi li . r aY co n fid ence f rom th em ." In the speech of Sir t.Q 4 : 4111 Follett, t o w hich I have already alluded, that iii tL i tl ed Gentleman-states that there is now no meaning Dkrty e n ames of Whig and Tory—that there is only one 4 4 , in the country whose exertions are devoted to the q nr () ", t of our C ons tit u ti o n, and the maintenance of the t b , , r a i r , e '' , and th a t th e ot h er is banded together for the sub of both. Now, lam of opinion that we should de- Iliv a l e Constit u ti on , a nd support the Church—subject No e ': to the am e li or ation of those abuses which circum nol have rendered needful.—(Applause.) But yet I •ssi te d bel ong to the party o f t h e l a t e Attorney-General krs does not claim me as one of them ; and yet I sup ettl• ' lo a e Constit u ti on and the Church as sincerely and v 'pe tit • as he can.

Will now allude briefly to the Lpiestion of bro pal ,Reform. I supported that Bal Net / ' 0 Parliament by Igo Majesty's Ministers ; and that at 41 Ministers did not act erroneous)}' nte,.,.,easaire alter it finally came from the Lords. I, for ke3eci'lla).deeidedly against the risking its loss altogether, by I " it, for with all its imperfections, it creates a rent - • popu'ar body. No—we cou'.d not afford to throw it away, for it has made some great and beneficial alterations. The Lords have not gained a victory by it, for the Bill sanctions the ?Teat and wholesome principle that those who are placed at .great head of these important bodies, shall act not for their own: but for the public interest. But I will now come to that great question—the reform in the Church of Ireland ; for it is idle now to say that any government can go on, or the prosperity of the nation be maintained, with eight millions of our fellow-subjects in a state of almost un paralleled discontent. The Irish have been a discon tented people for ages, and I do not wonder at it, when I regard the many and long-continued causes of their irritation.—(Hear.) As a matter of justice, the ,appropriation clause was introduced. But it has been said that this appropriation clause has been brought for ward to satisfy the demands of Mr. O'Connell alone. So little is this fact—tiay, so grossly untrue is it, that that clause would have been carried without, or in spite of, the support of that Hon. Gentleman. There are two things that I deem equally impossible to be accomplished—the re-establishment of the tithe system in Ireland, and of Episcopacy in Seotland.—(Cheers.) No tithe- will ever again be paid in Ireland by the occupier of the land. We have a standing army, but we cannot submit that it should be used as a means, producing a periodical loss of life, for the recovery of property. Having thus given you my reasons why I support the present Ministry, and have become of their party, I leave you to judge of the sin cerity or the soundness of these reasons.—( Applause.) The Right Hon. C. FERGUSSON again rose and said— Gentlemen, I have another topic to introduce to you. There is now in our company my illustrious friend Prince Czartoryski, a name which is well known, not only in Europe, but I may say throughout the world.—(lmmense applause.) With the rest of his countrymen he was driven to despair by the oppressions of the Czar. Though his vast and princely possessions were in the stake, he hesitated not—he took his lino of duty, and embarked heart and soul in the revolution, which he fondly hoped would work out his country's liberty. But, unfortunately, this hope was not realized.. You all know how this glorious but un fortunate struggle terminated. Subsequently his vast pos sessions were confiscated, and almost every tie which bound him in his native land has been rent asunder. I will not allude farther to a subject which must be so painful to him. But though he has been exiled, and has lost his- vast estates, he has preserved, what he values more, his honour.— (Loud applause.) Let us than drink to his health, and express our sympathies in his sorrows, in a manner which, coming from this company of freemen, may resound over Europe, and reach the throne of the Czar himself. My opinions on the Polish question are not -changed ; they are the same in office as out of it ; and I trust that my life will be prolonged to see that country once more a glorious, an independent, and a happy nation. " The health of Prince Czartoryski."—(Great applause.) Prince CZARTORYSKI rose, and was received with the most enthusiastic applause. The Prince addressed the meeting in a very correct style of English, slightly touched by a foreign accent ; but from the low tone of voice in which he spoke, we could not catch all that fell from the honoured exile He said—Gentlemen, in addressin g you, I claim your indulgence for the utter inability which I feel to return my thanks to you in a language which I am so little master of—and to express the manner in which my heart is moved by the affectionate, the kind, and • the flat tering way in which my health has been proposed and re ceived. I rejoice at the esteem and approbation,conferred by you on one of the best friends of Poland ; I join you in honouring him,, and now express the feelings of gratitude with which he is regarded by all Poles. He has been the first to call the attention of the British people to the dread ful and unmerited suffering of the people of Poland—to the violation of positive treaties, of all laws of justice, and to the abandonment of sound policy by the' Governments of Europe. By his exertions, civilized Europe has be come interested in her regeneration. By his means a sympathy has been created in this country, which is now great, and is still increasing. The same effect has been produced in France ; that country has received from Eno , land and given alternately, the example of opinions and sentiments the most favourable to Poland, expressed by the solemn protests of these two Governments. The elo quent speech of my friend has been translated into every language—it has extended over civilized Europe—it has penetrated into Lithuania, the Ukraine, and every part of Poland ; it has found its way into the prisons of Rus sia, where it has been read again and again with tears of joy. It has proved a balm to the souls of the oppressed Poles, which tells them that though they suffer, their wrongs are not overlooked in Etirope, and thitherward all their eyes are cast with confidence and hope. After what you have heard from your representative, and con sidering how well you know him, you will not be sur prised at the love which my countrymen bear to him, and., after him, to you for having repeatedly sent to Parlia ment the able defender of freedom and the laws of na tions.—(Applause.) I tell you—and it is with pleasure I speak it of your representative—that the name of Cutlar Fergusson is inshrined in the heart of every Pole, and will be associated with feelings of deep gratitude -for ever in the annals of- my country.—(Loud applause.) , I too, express my deep thanks to his colleague near me (Lord Dudley Stuart) who, whenever your representative has advocated the cause of Poland, has nobly stood forward by his side. I thank him for his noble, unwearied, and suc cessful exertions in obtaining from Government a gene rous provision for the unhappy PoleS, whom oppression has driven from their native country, to seek shelter and bread on these free and hospitable shores. The Noble Lord has contributed materially to the protection which they now enjoy ; he fills one of the foremost places in our feelings of affection and gratitude, and the name of Lord Dudley Stuart cannot be separated from that of your re preientative. I visited Scotland 40 years ago ; then Po land was free and happy : she was presenting to the whole world the glorious example of consolidating a free and re newed'constitution—one which had the joyous approval of all enlightened men in Europe, and was received with ad miration by your own Edmund Burke. But, alas! little could she then foresee the convulsion which shook all Eu rope, and gave my country to the remorseless grasp of her treacherous neighbours. Now, I visit your country after a long space, and how different the situation of each of us ! I am amazed at your wealth, your intelligence, and your happiness. I will only say that while it is to high morality, intelligence, and love of freedom you owe your greatness, it is to unrelenting ferocity and persecution that we owe our wretchedness. But continued persecution and tyranny has not produced the end looked for—it has not destroyed in the Poles their detestation of a foreign yoke ; on the con, trary it has produced a unanimity of indignation against our oppressors, and with it, a hatred of their tyranny, if possi ble, more deadly, and a resolution to resist them, more determined than ever we possessed before. Even the few of our countrymen, who were taxed with lukewarm patriotism, are now as ardent as others in hatred of Russian rule ; and every Pole yet cherishes the hope, and looks forward to the day when he shall throw off his chains "and be restored to his emancipated country.—( Applause.) Yes, even in the martyred doom, they have persevered in hope. They have implicit' faith in the justice of Almighty God, and trust in the ultimate good sense of man kind. The Prince then went into details to the effect that British commercial prosperity could never be enduring so long as the restless ambition of Russia remained unchecked, and the rest of Europe viewed her ambitious projects with supineness. Britain never could be greater than when all other countries around her were free, prosperous, and happy ; and they might learn a lesson of Russian fraud and ambi tion from the experience of unhappy Poland. But be hoped that a just Providence, through means of the sympathies of the growing enlightenment of Europe, would yet see Poland restored. Prince Czartoryski sat down amidst tremendous cheering. The Right Hon. C. FERGussoN said—We are honoured by another of these illustrious sufferers for freedom—one of Neble blood, and who has fought and bled in Poland's cause. He is yet young, but he occupied a conspicuous station in the Polish army during the last struggle for inde pendence—a struggle though brief, but which for such des perate, and devoted courage, has not been surpassed in the annals of the world.—(Hear, bear.) Your guest bears with him the marks, of his devotedness to the cause of freedom. I beg to propose the health of the gallant young Officer at our board.—" Count Zamoyeski," three times three, and cheering loud and long-continued. The COUNT returned thanks in a few words. CHAIR—" Lord Dudley Stuart, M.P. for Arundel." The toast was responded to most heartily. Lord DUDLEY STUART was received with great applause. He said—lt is now 27 years, when I was still a child, since I was taken away by my father from the Isle of Bute. But since I grew up to read the deeds of daring of our gallant. ancestors—their struggles for independence, and heard of the high-toned feeling which pervaded my countrymen, my ho in has burned with a desire to visit my native land. I have Dow, however, gratified that longing wish of my hear t . I cannot recommend inysiilf bettor to ypnr notice than by saying that your Representative and I have always been on one side of the House. Scarcely on one occasion have we aiffere4, The illustrious stranger here to-day upon your invitation, baa beg) pleased to make mention of my name as a friend of Poland ; asp jppye indebted for this to his own kindness than any merit Of mine. hvp rgad the history of that gallant but unfortunate coun try ; and read it, and seen the horrible fate to which she has been subjected by a set' of 14F1)404110, 1 should be ashamed of myself if I did not feel a warm sympathy for her sufferings. Russia brought forward her lit4F49i of . armed barbarians, but Russia was beaten by the patriots to 41 - i4n4r94 la t tlE2—(Loud applause)—and had it not been for.frussia, t'bellsilW4i4 l 4l4 i)4Y.P It is for his eloquent and determined advocacy of the cause of injured Poland that Cutlar Fergussou has become _/T ~~`i IGG~ i 7 -c ~"~~~ ~i,J G THE S tJN, LONIJON, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1836. Elropean narne.—(Loud applause.) He stood up it Parliament advocating the. cause so long as remonstrance might be of avail ; but what remonstrance could be of avail with such a creature—such a despot—unless you are prepared to speak to him the language of intimidation, and follow it up, if necessary, by the hand of power. Opp -ession rages in Poland with unmitigated severity. You have been told of children forcibly taken away from the land of their birth, for• the purpose of destroying all recollection of their early borne ; this statement you might consider too atrocious for belief ; and I, myself, was told it a hundred times before I could give it credit ; but it is true—incontrovertibly true. The Polish children are torn by thousands from their native land, under the pretext that the despot's Government takes care of the orphans in ano ther part of the world. What would we in Scotland think if our " ain wee bairns" were reft from the land of our f.thers, and entrusted to the ruthless tutorage of bar barians, to destroy every feeling of home and independence within them ? Yet such is the ease of the Polish infants, — year by year in Poland thus drained of her youth. The very relitsion of the country is suppressed, and another—a revolting creed forced upon the people. This, which is a moral and religious country, can well understand the horrors of such oppression. But this horrid detail, which I assure you is true, was notlelieved when my friend brought it forward in the House of Commons. He was met by the ifs of Sir R. Peel and others, who,admitted that it was very horrid if true ; but Sir R. Peel has had sources for knowing the truth of these statements, and though we dared him to disprove them, he was unable to contradict a single statement. I am convinced that great as is the sympathy felt in this country for the wrongs of Poland, it would be ten tin:es greater, did we really and authentically know the unrelent ing persecution which is practised over its whole extent ; I hope, therefore, that this Government will appoint Con suls elsewhere over that territory, that the information of Russian persecution may be more certain and more speedy. For her supineness during the late noble struggle, I blush for my country ; but when the time comes, as come it will, I doubt not we will act a worthier and a nobler part.— Ciima—l now beg to propose a bumper to Lord Mel bourne and his Majesty's Ministers. Three times three. The Right Hon. C. FERGUSSON said—lt is my firm conviction that when their measures are fairly laid before the country—dispassionately considered by it, and when the insane and unfounded cry of " Church in danger" shall have subsided, that a more powerful and strongly based Govern ment than that of Lord Melbourne shall never have ex isted.—(Hear, hear.) Other toasts were given, after which, it being now eleven o'clock, the Chairman, accompanied by the Right Hon. Representative, Prince Czartoryski, Count Zamoyeski, and Lord D. Stuart, left the room. :he service of the altar, those who are retired from active service in the Army or Navy, the only sons of poor widows, or of fathers 60 years of age, br those who, being poor, are compelled to maintain their parents by their personal labour., " 5. For this once the want of the legal stature shall not be considered as a sufficient exemption. " 6. Clerks in public offices shall have their standing and order of promotion reserved to them, and students shall not he deprived of their right of matriculation. 7. Every person who pays 4,000 reals (401.) into the Royal treasury shalt be freed from the service ; that sum being destined for the arming and equipment of others, with out the possibility of its being applied, on any pretence whatever, to any other purpose. "S. Those who offer to serve as volunteers, without being shall be admitted, if fit to carry arms, and one man shall be declared for each volunteer from the contingent of his township. Caleris paribus, these volunteers shall be preferred for promotion to the rank of corporal-sergeant, commissioned officer, as the case may be ; and at the end of the war they shall receive special marks of attention from the Government. " 9. if those who thus volunteer their services shall be retired soldiers or sailors, besides the advantages hereinbe fore expressed, they shall receive one real (2id.) per day of extra pay, and the full advantage of the seniority acquired by their former services. " 10. The 100,000 men of the present levy shall be for- . ever exempt from the ordinary duties of the army and the provincial militia. " 11. Those who are now doing duty in the National Guard, and who are included in the present levy, shall have their present services duly taken into consideration. " 12. Within four months, from the termination of the pre sent contest the whole of the men included in the present levy shall be disbanded, if the whole number has not been preViously diminished. _ "13. Those who, when disbanded, shall have entitled them selves to a certificate of good conduct, and shall consent and oblige themselves to serve for six years in the National Guard, shall be entitled to a pension at the rate of 20 reels per month, which they shall enjoy in common with the sol diers of the army and of the provincial militia who shall contract a similar obligation. " 14. In consequence of existing circumstances, this ar mament shall be raised under the direction of the Minister of your department, as has been the case with former levies, but this arrangement is not for the future to affect the duties and attributes of the Minister of the Interior with reference to the army. " 15. In consequence of what is provided in the third article of the present decree, the provincial deputations, in concert with the supreme military authority, will give effect to it in all its parts, so far as to place at the disposal of the Captains-General the men who shall be produced by it.

FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. SPAIN. (OFFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.) " Madam—Your Majesty having so nobly and gene rously assumed the duties of the mother of all Spaniards, tracing out to your illustrious daughter, our innocent. Queen, the path of glory through which she will one day have to conduct this magnanimous nation to that pinnacle of happi ness it so well deserves, you cannot think it strange if in now.doing myself the honour to propose a great and impor tant measure for the suppression of the civil war which devastates the country, I should avoid the expression of certain sentiments which might at another time be required to convince your Majesty of the importance and urgency of their adoption. " It is a truth so palpable as to be in accordance with the experience of all ages, and strengthened at the present day in Spain by the powerful and constant voice of public opinion, that the union of the lovers of the Throne and of liberty is the first requisite for a nation's safety, and that once effected, as fortunately has _been the case—thanks to the well-known ,good sense and honour of the Spanish people, and in spite of the arts of their enemies—the con clusion of the war now goint. on in the northern portion of the Peninsula ought to be the grand object of all our exer tions ; that being obtained, we may flatter ourselves with the certainty of the success of the internal affairs of the country—a success equally called for by the welfare of the nation and the spirit of the age, and which cannot fail to be realized through the united efforts of the Crown, and those of the representatives of the kingdom. " To put an end to the war there certainly has been wanting neither valour nor constancy on the part of the heroic army which has so long kept the field, and which, despising obstacles serious in the eyes of the bravest sol diers of the day, has sealed with its blood on various glo rious occasions the fidelity it had sworn to observe. All that is necessary are proper measures in order to coun teract advantages so notorious as the nature of the ground, the local traditions of the country, and the character which from the earliest periods has been attributed to the inhabi •tants of Navarre and of the Biscayan provinces: " The simultaneous, a prompt, and rapid enforcements of these means, will not only serve to prevent evils to which all the inhabitants of the same country are' liable, and spare the bitter tears of humanity, but it will also diminish the pecuniary sacrifices which the prolongation of the war dust entail. Nor ought this extraordinary exertion to render lukewarm those who causelessly entertain apprehen sions for the prosperity of the country. Before Europe had increased its armies to the extent of the force possessed at the present day, and which amounts to more than 3,000,000 men, and before it had as yet known all the magic influence of credit, it was even 'admitted that a nation might arm without any serious inconvenience, and for a short time, at least 20,000 men for each million of souls. _ _ _ _ " The demonstration so openly made by the inhabitants of the different provinces of the kingdom, of their readi ness to expose their lives and fortunes for the purpose of the extermination of rebellion, of securing the crown of Spain for your august daughter, and its public rights for a nation which has made so many exertions to recover them—that demonstration, I repeat, is one of the strongest supports of my present proposal, relying as I do on the fact that this heroic people, whose valour and virtues in 1808 were the admiration of the whole world, will repeat at the present crisis that glorious example of civil courage and loyalty ; and thus, by obtaining the blessing of do mestic peace, and by encouraging and protecting the insti tutions of the country, it will be contributing to secure the general tranquillity of Europe. It is now time that the torch of discord should be for ever distinguished in the Peninsula, and that the pretexts of the enemies of its glory and prosperity should vanish. " One hundred thousand men added to those now fight ing for the liberties of the country, organized and em ployed with proper expedition, rigour, and address, which may be relied upon from a Government exclusively do voted to the good of the country, and at th• head of which your Majesty presides, must have the effect of suc cessively contracting the space which the enemy now taint by their presence, exhausting their strength by undoubted victories, until the whole scene of the insurrection is oc cupied, and until those who maintain it are effectually over thrown. " For the accomplishment of these important ends, I have the honour to propose for your Majesty's approbation the annexed Royal degree, summoning all Spaniards to carry arms from 18 to 40 years of age, and appointing the selection from among them of 100,000 men, whose organi zation and equipment in all respects I have proposed to your Majesty in a separate form. . . " A n►easure of this great and important kind is at once in conformity with the exalted sentiments of this generous nation, and with those of your Majesty, who, impelled by the gravity of existing circumstances, cannot fail to obtain the sincere approbation of the Cortes for the tranquillity and repose which this . great effort will produce, making, once for all, an end of the enemies of ti►e throne and of liberty, and securing the future destinies of the country, by opening to unborn generations the career of prosperity prepared by the present at so great a sacrifice. "Nlaiam, at your Majesty's Royal feet, " El Conde de ALNIODOVAR. " Madrid, Oct. 24, 1835." ROYAL DECREES. " In the glorious career of liberty and darieg which is open to the Spaniards assembled around the legitimate throne, everything depends on the speedy conclusion of the fratricidal war Maintained by the partisans of the Pre tender, enemies at once of the rights of the nation, and of those of my august daughter. This necessity becoming daily more imperious, it must be confessed requires costly sacrifices, but not of long duration, nor in any degree incon sistent with the noble and generous character of those who have so often sighed to immortalize their names with heroism and acts of loyalty and patriotism. This consi deration, irresistible in its strength, and so amply ex pounded in the addresses presented to me, supported by the spontaneous expression of public opinion, and foreseen by the Cortes in" voting the law of the 31st of December last, as appears from its third article, has decided my Royal mind to ordain the levy of a great armament fqr tlia attain , ment of tliis inp,ortqnt cud, And in order to realize it, af ter consulting my Cabinet Council, 'I have resolved, in the name of my august daughter, to decree what follow : " Art. 1.

BRUSSELS, Nov. 3.—The Chamber of Representatives is convoked for the 10th instant. The Exibition of Arts and Manufactures closed yesterday. We learn from Fumes that the epidemic which regularly appears twice a year in that place, as well as at Nieupont, Ostend, and the environs, is remarkably severe this autumn. Of the 3,000 inhabitants of that town, above 200 have been attacked by it, some of them two or three times. The in habitants of the country seldom die of it, but it is not the same with strangers. The mortality in the garrisons of Nieupont and Ostend is considerable. A letter from the Grand Duchy of Berg of Oct. 25, says —" We learn here with great satisfaction that a Committee has just been assembled at Cologne for the construction of the whole line of iron rail-roads, between the Rhine and the Jiver. This Committee is definitively charged with the preparatory labours for this undertaking, which will have an incalculable influence on the foreign Commerce of Ger many, and still more on the internal trade of an important manufacturing province." The writer means the iron rail road from Cologne to Minden, which will open a commu nication between the Belgion iron rail-road and the com mercial cities in the North of Germany. The average price of Wheat and Rye for the week end ing 31st October, were 15f. and 9f. 2c. The import duties are 37f. 50c. on Wheat, and 43f. on Rye per 1,000 kilo grammes. On the 29th of last month there was an explosion of fire damp in the coal mines of St. Laurent, by which eleven workmen were wounded, but none of them dangerously. The imprudence of the men is said to have caused the accident. BELGIAN FUNDS.—BanssEts, Nov. 3. Actual Debt, 234 per Cent , Rothschild's Loan, Five per Cent lO l l4 Loan of City, 1832, Four per Cent.

ANTWERP, Nov. 3.—The King of the Netherlands in his speech at the openinc , of the session, speaking of one of the great divisions of the kingdom, made use of the word Belgium, and not as on former occasions, of the southern provinces or revolted provinces. The pretended Belgian patriots and the small faction in Holland, which does not wish for a new union, fancy that they see in this in novation something very significant. The Arnheim Ga zette, which, like the Handlesblad, is the organ of the handful of the Dutch, who oppose the reconciliation of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, does not fail to make a comment on the words employed by King Wil liam, calculated to flatter . the wishes of its party. The Independent has eagerly repeated this comment, and there is no doubt that the other revolutionary journals of Bel gium will do the same.—[Here the article from the Arn heint Gazette is quoted.] There is something insincere and perfidious in this article' of the Dutch journalist. He quotes from the whole spP: ec h the words ‘‘Holland and Belgium," omitting the r P st Of the phrase in which they are contained. This Ph.. ease i n D utch is de gestoorde verhouding van Nederlan tot Belgic., which, combined with the rest of the paragraph, by no means bears the sense that interested commentators would ascribe to it. The passage, properly understood, may be justly paraphrased as follows : " The situation in which the treaties of 1835 had placed Holland with respect to Belgium has been disturbed bylhe revolt in 1830, and hitherto no prospect has appeared of restoring these relations, so interrupted (gestoorde ver houding), lira manner worthy of me and of you." This we affirm to be the true meaning of the passage. The King could not do otherwise, to express this idea, than, in speaking of the two countries united to form the kingdom of the Netherlands, to call them by the names of Holland and Belgium, which they bore before the union.— Journal du Commerce d'Anvers, Nov. 4. ROME, OcT. 2 2.—Cardinal Bernetti, Secretary of State, is gone to Naples, Since then a report has been spread that Our Government is again negociating with that Court, for the cession of the principality of Benevento, which is not wholly improbable ; but it is likely enough that the Cardinal's ill-health has induced him to take this journey. When Monsignor° Capaccini went to Naples in the course of the summer, the same report was circulated, but soon found. to be false, as the Prelates journey was wholly on ecclesiastical affairs. Cardinal do Latil left Rome yester day, to return to Prague. We hear not only that he was highly gratified with hi% reception here, but the object of his visit is lAnlitiown.

THE WIFE AND WOMAN'S REWAItD.—In the beautiful tale of " Woman's Reward," by the Honourable Mrs. Norton, the true and highly sustained character of Lionel Dupre is a matserpiece of delineation, and a study for the novelist. This work we believe to be the first of Mrs. Norton 7s prose compositions, and we may fairly con gratulate her on its success : it evinces talents which must place her among the best modern writers of instructive fiction. It appears that on Sunday Admiral de Rigny was considered in danger, but is now somewhat better, although not so much so as to give positive confidence in his reco very. His complaint is au inflammation of the chest, ren dered more complicated by the gout in his stomach. A curious circumstance occurred at Chichester in the evening of Sunday se'nnight. Many persons are in the habit of coming from various parishes i❑ the neighbour hood, to attend public worship at the Providence Chapel, in the West-lane ; and it so happened that on the evening above mentioned, in consequence of the inclemency of the weather, as many as four or five-and-twenty were compelled to remain all night in Chichester. Some were accom modated with beds in the house attached to the chapel, occupied by the officiating Minister ; the rest took shelter in the . chapel.—Brighton Gazette. BOURRIENNE'S MEMOIRS OF NAPOLEON. - Mr. Bentley announces an edition of this celebrated and most entertaining work, in One Shilling Weekly Parts (the first part to appear next Saturday, Nov. 7), and to be completed in twenty-four parts. Bourrienne was at the Emperor's side when the recorded transactions actually occurred : he was the very shadow of the one great figure, beholding the events evoked by it, as they swept by in the living splen dour of their pageant—not merely hearing of them at second hand, after they had passed away. Bourrienne was Napo leon's secretary and adviser, and by him has been given to the world this memoir, which must ever remain unriviiilled in the fulness and undoubted truth of its details. In Bour riennes' pages are disclosed, not only the secret motives out of which Napoleon's most gigantic projects arose, but his private affairs, and conversations on all points of interest ; and this, be it remembered, while his mild was in its full elasticity and vigour, before his great reverses and exile had broken his energies. The present re-publication of this work, in a cheap and periodical form, cannot but. be welcome to English readers, in every gradation of life, especially when the numerous illustrative anecdotes and notes, by which the edition will be characterised, are taken into con sideration. These are all derived from contemporary autho rities, and eye-witnesses oi,:many of the transactions re corded. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The decided gain of the Reformers in the Registra tion Courts is matter of certainty. This is no doubt a very disagreeable topic to the Tories, but the fact is one which they will find it difficult to explain away. When we announced last week (not till after the ter mination of the contest) the gratifying result, we were well aware that the Conservative Press would be put to their shifts to gainsay our conclusions. We now join issue with the Standard. Our subtle Contempo rary is no doubt a dextrous controversialist, not over scrupulous as to partial statements, and aware of the advantage to be derived from diverting attention from the main issue. We stated on Wednesday se'nnight that we had in our possession proyi of the electoral gains of the Liberals in England, Wales, and Sco- Fand, and that we did not doubt that Ireland would yield its corresponding increase of Liberal constitu ency. We shall not allow the Standard to blind the public, or to escape from the main subject of dispute. We stated that the Tories, in 1833 and 1834, had stolen a march on the Reformers ; that the Tories had almost exclusively registered in thoss years ; that the Reformers neglected their duty ; that the great field of Toryism—the tenantry of the Tory landlords----had been carefully cultivated previous to th:s year ; that the non-registered Liberals, the re cently created small freeholders, and town-county qua lifications, had for the first time been diligently re corded for the Liberals this year ; that the ten-pound qualifications of the cities and boroughs had greatly increased, during two years of almost unexampled com mercial prosperity ; that the new votes and claims and qualifications, not before registered of this Reformers, had, therefore, this year greatly swelled. the gross num bers of the English and Welch constituency ; that the old constituency, especially the dead and non-resident freemen, had unquestionable been better scrutinized than in any previous year since 1'832; and that the Reformers every where are fully organised, and their cause con ducted with unexampled spirit, and gratuitous professional duvotion. These are facts which the Tory Journals may deny, but which they cannot by any controversial chicanery disprove. Now, how does the Standard affect to dispute .the result of the recent registration ? After some days of painful la bour in the work of sophistry and misrepresentation, the Standard publishes two columns and a half of partial figures and false reasoning. 'We shall demon strate the falsity of the data adopted by our contempo rary, and show the absurdity of receiving them as a fair test of the Registration. The figures and sche dules with which the Standard makes such a parade, all resolve themselves into quotations from the Tory provincial press, relating only to eleven English coun ties and nineteen English cities and boroughs. These picked samples only relate to about one-eighth of the English representation, and not to one-tenth of the gross numbers of the House of Commons. They exclusively apply to the seats of thirty Conservatives, and thirty-two Reformers. We must deal with these as the examples most favourable for the 'Tories ; but they do not test the Registration of one tenth of the Parliamentary representation of the empire. Thus the figures of the Standard in truth present no real analysis of the general results of the registration. In no one sin .le instance has the Standard favoured us with the comparative increase or political character of the new (additional) constituency returned by the overseers from the rate-books, and only in four instances are the comparative numbers of the claims of the two parties stated ! The Standard is cunningly contented with a pompous display of adverse columns of " objections" " taken" and "sustained." Our Contemporary knows really nothing of this subject, and has made a very bungling use of the information given him by some one who knows very little more of the matter. If the I Conservative calculator knows the truth and will avow it, he must be aware that the party having the majo rity of claims has usually the fewest objections ; but we suspect lie is merely a compiler of newspaper election scraps. Eleven counties only, two of them divided, comprise the county calculations of the Standard manifesto. Middlesex, 'Vest and East Kent, Huntingdon, the Isle of Wight, East and West Glou cester, West Somerset, South Devon, North Shrop shire, the West Riding of York (U, North Nor thampton, and South Leicester, -" are" says the Standard, " all the counties of which we have yet found any return." Now we (the Morning Chronicle) have " found" and have before us the . . 'S correct returns of nearly four-fifths of the coun ties of England, Wales, and Scotland ; not scraps from party journals, but the real results of the Regis tration contest, as far as they can be ascertained. We affirm that an extraordinary increase of the county constituency has been registered ; that the greater part of that increase is Liberal. The claims unopposed • make the difference which appears so unaccountable to the Standard, in. its county calculation. In eleven counties, two divided, the Standard states the Tory " objections" and " claims" as 10,424 ; those 'of the Reformers, 4,915. Now, in three counties 'only does this statement give the new claims—a fair. presump tion that the relative number of party claims in seven counties not given, could not be cos s veniently stated. For Middlesex, we have the impudent assumption that the majority of Conservative claims, " as far as ascertained," is 1,100. In. t i ne Middlesex Register of 1834, 8,005 electora plicate qualifications, 'are enrolled, including du- Of these about 6,000 polled. when there was over the Tory 'majority of 300 for Mr. Hume electors Candidate ; and of the 1,800 un polledthe majority is known to be Liberal. This Yw. there were six thousand now claims, of ;.,." - "c r . we know a large majority to be Liberal. The .'.. ories claim a majority of 51G objections to the old and new Register. How are they to win Middlesex. against Mr. Hume, or any Liberal Candidate ? We will notice two or three other examples of the pre tended triumphs of the Standard in the county Re gistration. In West Gloucester our Contemporary has placed the figures on the wrong side. The Tories assert a gain on " objections" of 553. We know that the strength of the Liberal Party in the Register has been increased by 348 votes ! In West Somerset the Standard states a gain on " objections" of 211; we claim about 40 gain, besides which we had a majority of 800 on the last contested poll. Are the Tories serious in claiming the West Riding ? But enough as to counties. All the county selections of the Standard relate only to the scats of fourteen Tory Members and eleven Reformers, and can there. fore, as we have already observed, little affect the result of the aggregate Registration. Our Contemporary discreetly observes, " of some other counties,' we regret to have to admit that the Conservatives have remained in a state of inert ness, and have left the representation in the hands of those from whom they might with ease have wrested it." It is too late now ; but will the Carbon Club give us a list of these defaulters ? We will now ac company the Standard in its tour to the cities and boroughs. Nineteen cities and boroughs ors'ey in Eng land, returning but 37 Members, 16 Tories, and 21 Liberals, comprise all the samples in the Tory Mani festo—not one-ninth of the English town representa tion ! Will the Standard name any cities or boroughs now liberally represented, in which lie can assign a single future gain ? Will he deny that Bristol, Col chester, Halifax, Dover, will not gain Liberal Mem., hers by a dissolution ? Will the Standard reseat Kelly and Dundas for Ipswich by the vaunted gain , of twenty upon objections at the late Registration ? Will he unseat one of the four Liberal representatives of London by his asserted gain of 249 on the City Re gistration ? The gross ignorance of our Contempo rary in the meanwhile js exhibited in his bold and ri diculous averment, that the nineteen cities and boroughs cited, viz., Leeds, Bristol, Wakefield, Ips wich, Cheltenham, Gloucester, Colchester, Peter borough, Southampton, Halifax, Reading, Wind sor, London, Grimsby, Hereford, Poole, Shrews bury, Canterbury, and Dover, " are the principal reports from the boroughs in which any struggle: has taken place." We could give the Standard a treble s i t list of other " struggles," but we leave him to his own discoveries. The attempt to determine the results of if the Registration by eleven counties and nineteen cities ,;( and boroughs, is, however, so absurd, that we would not rob our contemporary of even the Ten Pounds so . ; ostentatiously tendered for the benefit of the Middlesexim' Reform Club, by setting him right as to the figures of the Middlesex controversy.
