influence, to intern Mc/libels to the House of Commons, I that Peer was amt only guilty of a gross breach +elf the pri vileges of the House, but subjected himself also to an in elictmeret at law.—(Cheers.) They bad been told that Cie people would remonstrate against the measure now prcisosed by the Government. Was it possible that the ratlemen who told them this could 'be sincere ?—that 'they could really believe what they Raid ? If so, let them but wait a little while—let them see whether the Cettienon hall which was to meet is -morrow—let them see whether the people who might assemble in 'various parts of the country would re-echo the sentiments of the mourners at the funeral of the defunct Member for Boroughbridge, and murmur and remonstrance that it was proposed to Ogee upon them a better system of representation.--(Chters.) A Noble Lord had told them that the proposed measure ought to be brought in, and that it ought to be widely circulated, in order that the people might deliberate and pronounce upon it. There could be ne possible ob jection to this, only let him express his hope that the Noble Lord, and all those who had cheered this sentiment of the Noble Lord's, would submit to the test fel' which they called.—(Cheers.)—Let him express hie, hope, that when the people had considered and tramounced upon the measure, those who desired that the people sheeid have the opportunity of doing so would submit to the deci s io n of the people.—(Cheers.)—Most willireaty would he sub mit the proposed measure to the judgment of the peopl e ; most ready would he be to egeee that the decision 'el - the people upon it ought to he final. The clieraCter of the people of England was *ell known,. and it was no t t h e i r character to approve and applawa acts of spoliation and robbery; but let him tell his non. and Learned Friend that it was not by his repeating over and over again the words robbery and spoliation, sometimes with violent and 'sometimes with humorous accompaniments, that the people of England would he led to reject a measure like the present. His Hon. and Learned Friend had talked about the boroughs that were to be cashiered, about the Right Hon. the Paymaster of the Fortes, and about military law and military measures, but though his lion. and Learned Friend had rung the changes upon these expressions so frequently, to what did they amount in soberness anti rea son, and argument, and when divested of the humour with which his Hon. and Learned Friend bad clothed them,-- except that the present Government had brought forward a measure of Reform which they thought necessary foe- the people, and that that measure had been introduced to the House in a very able speech by a Noble Lord, who had always been a steady and distinguished advocate for Reform, and who happened now to fill the situation of Paymaster of the Forces.—(Cheers.)—lt was not consis tent with the fact to say that the people of this country had been a happy people for the last century ; for, on the contrary, it was true thit, during that time, they had suffered much and severely from measures of that House, which could never have passed into laws if the people had been fairly represented in Parliament.—( Hear, hear.)__ Again let him say that Peers had no right whatsoever to send Members into that House, and that if they did so, they did it as the Nabob of Arcot formerly had his repre sentatives there, to attend to his interests ; and as any Prince, or Noble or other person, in any part of the world might have representatives there if moderate caution and secrecy were exercised, Then, as to the question which his Hon. and Learned Friend had so chivalrously and triumphantly challenged him to answer,---namely, where any lawyer could find a precedent in support of the mea teur e now proposed. He w ou ld te ll hi s H on. an d L earned Friend, in a word, where he found a precedent. He proved it in the measure which passed only two years ago, and which disfranchised half the voters in Ireland.— (Hear, hear.)—That measure passed through this House with only a very small minority against it, and among that minority he had not been able to find the name of his Hon. and Learned Friend.—(Cheers and laughter.)—His Hon. and Learned Friend required that his questions should he replied to, and called for answers to his arguments ; but how had his Hon. and Learned Friend treated the argu ments which had been furnished him by preceding speakers ? His Hon. and Learned Friend had given no other answer to the arguments contained in the bril liant speech of the Hou. Member for Caine, except that they were nonsense, and that he would only nail them to the table, as a baker nailed a bad shilling to his counter. Now he must say that this, though it might he a very lordly and a very humourous mode of proceeding, Was neither a very convincing nor a very sensible one.— (Hear, hear.)—:Hush bad been said by his Hon. and Learned Friend, and by others, about producing a revolu tion, and about revolutionary measures. NOW if he thought that this measure was calculated to lead to a revolution or to produce a convulsion, no man would struggle against it with more zeal and determination than lie would. In his conscience, however, he did believe that it was a mea sure in strict accordance with the spirit of the Constitu tion: and in his conscience also he did believe that it was the only mode of preventing a revolution.—(Hear, hear.) —They bad been told to look at the proceedings which ha finitely occurred in France, but did any sane man sup j!oae it possible that the expelled dynasty could last one tingle moment after having fired upon and shed the blood !the people.—(Cheers.)—lnstead of looking at the pro ceedings of the French people with horror, he could con sider what they had done only as an act of justice, and as an act committed in self-defence.—(Hear, hear, hear.)._ He would at once admit, with as much sincerity as he lamented, the fact, that the French people appeared more competent to gain a victory than to improve one, and he was sorry that they had not imitated the example which had been set them by his own countrymen when they effected their permanent and glorious, and bloodless Re volution of 1688,—( Hear, hear, hear )—lt was, how. cv(r, idle to compare the proceedings of the French people with those of the Belgians. The revolution which had taken place in Belgium, he Iselieved to be a wanton and a useless revolution. They all knew that it had this defect—namely, that it had been polluted by plunder, and it had not prospered. He would not detain the House with dwelling upon these topics, which he should not have touched upon had they not been brought forward by others. In taking leave of them, however, be must observe, that, in his opinion, nothing could be more senseless, nothing more irrational, nothing more ab solutely absurd, than to compare the measure now sub mitted to the House on the subject of Reform, either to the revolution in France or to the revolution in Belgium. —(Cheers.) One observation which had fallen from his Hon. and Learned Friend had, he must say, struck him as being singularly unfair,—but that had been answered by speakers who had preceded him, a', indeed, all his other arguments had been answered,—only the sentences of his lion. and Learned Friend seemed to have been prepared and moulded for the purpose of delivery, and so they were delivered without reference to the arguments which had answered them by anticipation.—(Hear, bear.) The ob servation of his Hon. and Learned Friend to which he alluded, was that which regarded the boroughs, which it was not proposed to disfranchise. His Hon. and Learned Friend had asked why Caine, and Tavistock, and other bo • roughs, were to be allowed to retain their franchise ? The answer was plain and obvious, and had already been given to his Hon. and Learned Friend, and it was this—namely, that it was necessary to draw sonic line of distinction ; that if Caine and Tavistock had been on one side that line, they would have been disfranchised ; but that, being on the other side the line, they were allowed to retain their fran chise. But to retain it how ? Not as a close corporation, but under a system of fair election. The only other argu ment which he felt it necessary to advert to, was the ar gument founded on the fact, that boroughs hail returned many great and eminent men to Parliament. Trite it was that such men had sat for boroughs; but let him ask, had not the borough system excluded others ?—and, above all, let him put it to any reasoning being whether the people of England ought to remain satisfied to depend upon such accidents as these for the chance of finding men who would represent their interests in Parliament.— (Hear, hear.)—He would not, at this late hour, detain the House farther. He knew that he had risen under great disadvantage in coming after so litminous a speech as that which had been delivered by his Hon. and Learned Friend—a speech, however, which he hail no doubt was indebted, for much of the popularity it had acquired, to the sympathy of Hon. Gentlemen who felt themselves to be much in the same situation with the about-to-he defunct Member for Boroughbridge, as his Hon. and Learned Friend called himself.—(Cheers and laughter.)— According to the view of his Hon. and Learned Friend, he (Sir C. W e th ere ll) wou ld go o u t of the Hous e a vic tim of inju st i ce, while he (the Attorney- G enera l) was to leave it as the tyrannical Attorney-General, who had been employed by a Profligate and disgraceful Government to revolutionise the country.—(Hear and laughter.)--Pro bably his Hon. and Learn e d F r i en d wou ld reca l t hi s flat tering character which bestowed upon him. Be that, however, as it might, h e cheerfully threw himself upon the judgment of the House and of the country.— (Cheers.) —And although Borou ghbridge m i ght di sappear, and he might go out of the House as well as his Hon. and Learned Friend, he had very little doubt that they should both of them find constituents who would send them back to that House, there to fight in friendly contest those battles which he was sure that he and his Hon. and Learned Friend were equally desirous should terminate in advantage to the country.—(Cheers.) Mr. G. BANKES moved that the debate be adjourned till this day at five o'clock. The motion was agreed to, and the House adjourned at Half-past 04e o'clock. SPIRIT OP THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The Reform Bill--the Ministerial Reform Bill—we may even add the Royal Reform till—is now before the country. It will he e: bseryed, too, that with the peculiar privilege which is said to belong to the measures of an thee:lute Monarchy only, the secret was kept till the blow was struck; and then. indeed, writ those again s t w h om it was levelled, or whore tesistante Was most to be appre hended, overwhelettA With surprise, and confoUnded with dismay. They did not expect it ! To its it appears that the Tonion are more infatuated th a n t h at wretc h ed creature w ho is now shut tip in lttolyrood-ho use , a lt er h av i ng over - ' thrown the fortames of his family by his blind adherence j to obsotete prejudic es , if t h ey do° not rated; at Lord John Russell's plan, and em b race i t at a Go d -se n d for preeerv ing the tranquillity of the country. The ineAtinre is a hold and consprehensive one, no doubt ; but look at the principles from which it starts, and the facts upon which it is founded ; and if shy one can deduce more moderate and restricted consequences from such premises ) we shall be content to join his party. !:t its impoa srole th a t th e rotten boroughs thould stand. That may be laid down es ta axiom so clear and as sured, that the :tan is a fool—an absolute fool—who denies i', Then what are you to do With the 120 elnbers who now most scardalously enter Parliament from those boroughs ? Von must either dock Parliament by so many ire:ethers, or distribute them somewhere ; and how trey can he better distributed than over large counties and into large towns, we 'tally do not know; and this distribution is all thS.l the Bill now before Par liament aims at effecting. The next mischief to he re moved is the Zsc travag ant expense of elections. It is im poseibte that they should continue! It is not a matter of choice, or suggestion of policy, that the expences of elec tions should be reduced—it is stern and uncontrollable ne cessity, or there were an end of elections and of fit men serving in Parliament altogether; and bow was this to he dope but by some such measure as Lord John Russell's Ein ? It does not prescribe the ballot as remedy, for which some men hare been so clamorous ; but if it provides a sebetitnte for that hazardous and degrading experiment, Which otherwise must be tried—if, with litth comparative expense, it preserves the relation between the electors and the elected, and so keeps up the responsibility of the latter to his constituents, we think that it effects a great good, and preserves the country from a gulf already opened and gaping before it, of which no one can see the depth. Such is the Bill now before Parliament, and which we assert has given such an electric pleasure to all who have heard of it. But still we are aware that its merits are be tried there where the evils which it would correct are in full force. Our correspondents, therefore, ask how the public is " to call for and press it forward," as we recommended yesterday? We answer, by instantly crowding the House with prayers and petitions for the Bill—by public meetings recommend ing its adoption. An illumination was talked of yesterday in the cities of London and Westminster, to commemorate its introduction, and as a pledge of its success. We have no objection to that, but in any case let the people in every possible constitutional way show their respect for the friends of the Bill, and their aversion to its enemies. It was as serted yesterday, and denied, that the House of Commons had lost the confidence of the people. There is, unquestion ably, in that House a vast mass of respectability ; but how can it be denied that an assembly, in which seats are bought and sold as openly as standings for bullocks in Smithfield— in which many Members sit in a capacity no better than that of servants to rich Noblemen,--must he tainted with such infamies? It may he said,—and the fact is no doubt true,—that the greatest scamps in the House are ordinarily the result of popular elections, and not of nominations. But it must he observed, in reply, that Lord John Rus sell's Bill tends to raise, not to lower, the qualification necessary for the exercise of the elective franchise. The Radicals are content with it; the Tories must be mad not to catch at it as a boon—to seize it as a refuge from greater evils. We cannot close these remarks without making some reference to a jacobinical assertion of Lord Ellenbo rough's,—that his sinecure office, the emoluments of which consist of fees extorted from the pockets of poor suitors in the Court where his father once presided, is as good property as the hereditary estates of other noblemen. Be ware of placing real property on so weak a foundation ! This is a retroactive —not argument, er it is devoid of common sense, but—assertion of fearful consequences. The people know what property is, and respect it : but sinecure places, wrung from general or partial suffering, and enjoyed by those who have done nothing to merit them, are entitled to no respect. Do not attempt to con found the distinctions of wright and wrong in the minds of the people.— Times. The debate on the motion of Lord John Russell, for leave to bring in his Reform Bill, is again adjourned. It is difficult to describe the satisfaction which the announce ment of the measure has every where produced. Nothing else was talked of yesterday. Whatever opposition to the measure there may be in the House, it would have been difficult to discover any out of doors. The opponents of the measure, of all grades, were in motion yesterday. A meeting was held at Sir Edward Knatchbull's, attended by seventy Members ; another meeting, of thirty Mem bers, was held at Sir Charles Wetherell's ; a meeting, of fifteen, was held at Sir Robert Peel's. At these Conci liabules the course to be pursued in their opposition was keenly and anxiously agitated. We understand it was de termined on, at all of them, not to oppose the introduction of the Bill, though at first several Members were anxious to make head at once against it, on the ground that, if not crushed in the outset, the Press would produce such as im pression en the public, that it might no longer be possible to withstand the evil. But the greater number thought that a course like this would he held indicative of a determi nation not even to allow the measure a hearing, and that it might create a spirit in the people still more dangerous than that produced by the press and the continued discus sions. Sir R. Peel has a difficult card to play, and we understand his party were not exceedingly edified by his counsels. It is easy, in fact, for Sir Charles to rant and roar like another Bottom; for being as high on the ladder of ambition as he ever can be, words are nothing to him. But Sir Robert may be pardoned for having an eye to of fice hereafter ; and one 'false move at a time like this, may be of immense consequence. To be opposed to Re form, at a time when ninety-nine in a hundred of the na tion are for it, is no trifling matter. No time is to be lost by the public in coming forward in such a manner as shall leave no doubt as to the general wish. We are glad to perceive that a meeting of the parish of St. Andrew, Holborn, is to be held this day, to express approbation of the conduct of Ministers. A requisi tion, numerously signed, by men of all parties, has been presented to the Lord Mayor , and a similar re quisition for a meeting in Westminster has also been numerously signed. These examples will be followed without loss of time throughout the whole country. If the people wish their interests to he protected, they must support those who combat in their behalf. Let the re presentatives of corrupt interests know what it is to op pose themselves to the honest endeavours of a Monarch and his Ministry to satisfy the just expectations of an en lightened nation. We have hitherto heard no one good argument against the motion. That the nominees of the borough p itrons should be hostile to any Reform which disfranchises the places whence they derive their conse quence is hardly to be wondered at. The amusing part of the business is to hear those representatives, with the utmost possible solemnity, declaring that they are utterly uninfluenced by their personal interests on the occasion. " It might he said (observed Lord Darlington) that he was himself one of the aggrieved parties by the measure under consideration that night—perfectly true ; but did it not thence fallow that he was in competent to form a right judgment upon the matter at issue ? He should deem himself utterly un worthy of a seat in that House were he capable of being influenced by such considerations." In the countries in which Judges take bribes, we can conceive them protesting with equal solemnity that they should despise themselves were they to allow their decision to be influenced by any present they might receive. How illiberal to suppose that a man is not a fit judge in his own cause ! It is told of Montesquieu, that having quarrelled with a certain Abbe, he went round their common circle, cautioning them not to believe what, slither he or the Abbe said of each other, as they were enemies. This, according to Lord Darlington was a basedistrust, hi g hl y discredit able to him who manifested it. Hitherto no good argu ment has been urged against the measure by its oppo nents. They like the present state of the representa tion, but they can lay down no principle as the test of the goodness of that repre sentation which is so much the subject of their admiratio n. If that whic h exists is to be deemed good, merely because it exists, we should have no reformation of any abuse whatever. We ought to have some princ i p le surely to guide us in determining how a nation ought to be repre sented. Air. Horace Twiss dislikes the middle classes. Ought they then to be excluded from all influence in return ing Members ? Another Member dislikes the proposed plan, because, though under it property of the people of England, real and personal, will be represented, it will afford no opening to Indian Nabobs, or retired slave drivers, who may be ambitious of the honour of a seat. Another says, how will the political Swiss of the country find an entrance into the House ? To be returned by an independent constituency, supposes a candidate to enjoy their esteem on account of his talents and virtues ; but what is to become of those whose talents and virtues remain to be discovered ? One would think that the protection of the liberties and property of a nation is the only object for which a t- presentation is not re quire& Na), Sir Robert Inglis seemed to wish to argue, that the less the representation was connected with the nation, the more it approached to perfection. Mr. aceordint tt him, had said, that if they leaked at the map of England, and saw a place that was not represented now, it was certain that it was a place of no importance when the system of the represen tation of the country bad !Seen formed. He (`sir Robert), however, thought', :that if they examined the subject, they would find that this was not the case. And why was it • not tae case ? Let us hear Sir Robert. " What was it that had first induced the Sovereigns of this country io call a Parliament together ? It was because they wanted men and money to carry en their wars." This was an excellent ceases, ef course for their leaving out populous places and selecting places with few inhabitants. Had a Parliament been first called in oar times, by a Sovereign in want of men and money, he would have assuredly taken care to leave out Manchester, Birmingham, and Leeds. Our ancient Sovereigns would have been delighted with such a state of representation as we now possess. The good sense of the people of this country will secure them against attempts to reach their understandings by such ar guments. Once more we will call on the pe ople to bear i n mind who they are who are now trying the question of their own fitness to represent them. We need say no more.—Morning Chronicle. We are not disposed to attach much importance to the arguments against the plan of Parliamentary Reform brought forward by Lord John Russell of such reasoners as Sir Robert Inglis, inasmuch as the burden (and griev ous it seemed to the House) of his speech was, that the mode of electing Members to the British Parliament al ways has been corrupt, is corrupt, and, therefore, must ever remain corrupt. The only security, according to Sir Robert Inglis and Mr. Horace Twiss, for the liberties of the people of England, is in the perpetual sale of meats in the House of Commons by the proprietors of some boroughs; and in the never-ending bribery of the voters in others—in short, that it is impossible for property to retain its due influence, except through the means of money illegally paid and received. Now, however anxious we are for an extensive change in the application of the principles upon which the British Monarchy is founded to the constitution of the House of Corn mons, we should he slew to assent to any plan which destroyed the proper influence of the higher classes of society in that House. Without the re presentation of those classes, and their proprietary in terests, in that House, such a frequent occurrence of differences on legislative questions might be anticipated be tween the Houses of Lords and Commons as would mate rially, if not fatally, obstruct the course of public affairs ; but we feel assured that the plan of Reform proposed by the Government doss not involve any such consequence. Nay, we go further, and we believe that the legitimate influence of property and local connection will be unim paired, and that, in many cases, the individuals through whom that influence is now exerted will be unaffected by the contemplated alteration. We put the following real case to our readers, and we feel convinced that there are many others. Suppose a town with 4,000 inhabitants, now sending two Members to Parliament, the right of voting being burgage tenure, the number of burgesses be tween one hundred and fifty and two hundred—a landed proprietor in the neighbourhood owns four-fifths of the houses in the town giving the right of voting, and conse quently nominates the Members—the burgage houses are inhabited by persons of the middling class, in easy circumstances, who therefore exercise con siderable influence over the class immediately below them, with whom the transactions of business brings them into daily contact—the individual of whom the Members are now in truth nominees further owns the greater part of the lands in the immediate vicinity of the town, portions of which are indispensable to the inhabi tants—what will be the condition of the representation of this town, under the proposed change? Is it to be con tended that the occupiers of the houses in the town will lose all consideration for their landlord ? Is it to be sup posed that the other inhabitants, who are tenants of plots of ground in the neighbourhood, will feel indifferent to the goodwill of the same landlord? On the contrary, does it not consist with probability—nay, with positive experi ence, that the recommendations of an individual pos sessing such power over the convenience of the leading persons among the middling classes, and over the ne cessities of the lower, will still be predominant ? We will also ask whether the addition made to the county Members is not, in fact, an augmentation of the just influence of the landed proprietors? Look at the lists of the county Members for the last century. Do we not find in those lists names belonging to all that is vene rable from antiquity, and powerful from property, in the country ; and does not this plan, so objected to for its subversion of the balance of the Constitution, add nume rically 5t names to that class by which the interests of the Upper House are virtually represented in the House of Commons ? The British Monarchy would change its distinctive character if the influence of large property were not felt in the House of Commons ; but the Bri tish Constitution does not recognise the specific nomi nating authority of a few proprietors, and still less does it essentially require a perpetual rated traffic in the votes of electors. The Members of the present House of Commons are, doubtless, called upon to make great sacrifices of their personal interests ; but as extensive Reform must come at last, is it not more honourable, as well as more politic, to adopt a plan that has received the sanction of the Monarch, and has been brought forward by a Government largely composed of the Aristocracy of the country, than to disappoint and disgust the people of England by a rejection, resting upon arguments essen • tinily untenable, and only rendered plausible by an enu meration of fortunate accidents. The populace of Rome, we learn from Cicero, were not insensible to the maxim 46 IN valet salus plus quani libido." Let not the Tories of England be less wise.—.Morniny Herald. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O' CL OCK We have no arrivals of consequence this morning ; the French mail came to hand at a late hour, but no time has been fixed as yet for the delivery of the letters. A letter from Bremen states that Count Munster has been de posed, and the Duke of Cambridge named Viceroy. The debates, and nothing but the debates, are the order of the day in the city, and all parties arc eager to read them. Mr. Macauley's speech is particularly read with great attention, and approved of as one of the best in the evening's debate. Sir H. Peel's speech is anxiously sought after, which, no doubt, will be the winding up of the contest. THE FUNDS. Consols, which left off yesterday at 75%, 76 for the account, opened at the same price, since which they arc 76!‘ 1 We can say but little of the opinions of the public this day, for their politics vary with the debates, and the speculators arc anxiously waiting for the final result of this grand contest. In the'foreign market nothing doing as yet. We have this moment a report that the French funds have fallen to 54f. 50c. HALF-PAST ONE. According to the French Papers, arrived by the mail, they write from Madrid that the energetic note presented by the French Minister to that Court has produced its effect, and it is reported that a change in the Ministry is going to take place. Llander is to be Minister of War—the Count Espagne and Ge neral Campana are to resign. It is stated that the arrival of Aguado has contributed to this change. General Savarre will be appointed Viceroy of Navarre, and the Marquis of Amarellas General of Catalogue, and Saint Ander Captain-General of Grenada. An Austrian General passed the Po, near Ferrara, with a con siderable force. The National Guards threatened immediately to attack him if he did not return, which lie according complied with. The Augsburg Gazette, in an article dated Frontiers of Italy, Feb. 17, states that the Austrian General Baron Geppert had re cived orders to enter on the 15th with eight battalions and two batteries, to re-establish the Government of the Duchy of Mo dene, General Bentheisn is with twenty-four battalions on the frontiers of the legation of Ferrara, ready at the first notice to enter the territory of the Pontiff, and to put down the rebel lion. It is said they want to proclaim Napoleon 11. at Bologna and at Ferrara. General Walmoden has received orders to take up a position on the frontiers of Piedmont with a corps of obser vation of 30,000 men. The express from Paris has brought the French rentes consi derably lower, at 54f. 50c. It is also rather of a warlike descrip tion between Austria and France. This has had some effect on our funds, which were in the early part of the morning at 76 , i9 but receded to 75:ti, with a very heavy market caused by the above express. Vi,e understand that several failures have taken place at Paris in the funds there. In the foreign market Spanish bonds have rather improved. THREE 0' CL 0 CA". Consols, '751.

We have just received the entire of the Paris Journals of Tuesday, and the Message,' des Chainbres, Gazette de France, and Revolution, dated yesterday. Their contents, although in teresting, arc not absolutely important. From the tone and language of the Journal des Debats it is evident that the French Government does not deem war improbable, but that the respon sibility of having commenced it will have been incurred by Austria. "The entrance of a single Austrian regiment into any of the revolted Italian States would be regarded as an act of hostility by France." Accounts of unsuccessful Carlist movements in the provinces continue to reach Paris, but the capital itself remained tranquil. Our correspondent, in noticing the alarming fall that took place in the French Funds on Tuesday, states that it had not been produced by bad news, but by the unfavourable aspect of the liquidation (settlement.)

(From the Message:- des Chambres, dated March 1.) PARIS, FEB. 28.—T he following are extracts from the letters of the Russian Minister, from the month of August, 1830, to the 29th of October. They arc the most striking passages on the question of war, and an indecision is evident in them which fully justifies the opinion of our Minister for Foreign Affairs, wh o , besides, has not assured us of the friendly dispositions of Russia, but only of the non-existence of a positive determination not to make war at that time : _ " The Emperor had commanded me to inform your Excel lency in the most private manlier, that as under present circum stances cases might arise in which the Polish army might have been put in motion, it is his Majesty's intention that you should immediately direct your attention to resources for defraying the expence of putting the army in motion, as well as for that of a campaign. " His Majesty has been much satisfied at seeing you think of every thing which would be necessary in case of war. The return of Field Marshal Diebitsch will decide on the measures to be taken. He has orders on his return from Berlin to pass through Warsaw ' in order to concert with his Imperial Highness the Grand Duke respecting every thing that concerns the movements of the armies and their different wants. " His Majesty also orders me to tell you, that if the march should take place, and should lead to a general war, he will call on you immediately to repair to St. Petersburg!), to confer with you personally on these matters. " May our hopes of the maintenance of peace be realized! but the need which nations have of it does not suffice. It is an epi demic, and an epidemic cannot be stopped till it has first, as at Moscow, spread over a circle more or less extensive. " One may, indeed, though with difficulty, make an arrange ment with respect to Belgium and the other points threatened; but if France should have a Ministry from the left side in some degree martially disposed, how will it be possible to avoid a ge neral war " The accounts respecting the cholera morbus are satisfactory. It is not the same with moral contagion. In Belgium things go on from bad to worse ; but it is the news from France in particu lar which is of a very alarming nature. If the existing order of things (the Government of Louis Philip) is overthrown, as there is reason to believe, a general confusion and general war seem to be inevitable. Notwithstanding the interest which so many men have in preserving peace, events become so strangely intricate that it would be a miracle if we should escape a general war.' It is evident that Russia is now fixed in in its projects of war against us and againt the liberty of nations, and that it only de fers the commencement of the struggle till it has crushed Po land. We have only thought to disculpate M. Sebastiani by literally quoting the passages which were objected to him, on the snbject of our relations with Russia at a preceding time.

PETERSBURGH, FEB. 12.—The new manifesto of the Emperor, just published by his Majesty's orders, announces the sovereign resolutions which he finds himself obliged to take with respect to Poland. In vain has his Majesty exhausted all the means of persuasion —all the counsels inspired by an ardent wish to spare the peaceable inhabitants of the kingdom the evils of a war, which would be the fruit of the rebellion, and to bring back to their ditty subjects, whom he took pleasure in consider ing as misled, rather than criminal. All the efforts which his generous inclinations and resolutions suggested have been useless, all his sentiments of goodness and clemency have been disregarded. At the very commencement of the revolution his Majesty had made known his benevolent intentions by deigning to receive Prince Lubecki and the Deputy Jesierski, who had come from Warsaw to lay before him a statement of events which had lately troubled in so cruel and unexpected a manner the tran quillity of the kingdom. It was on the 14th (:26th) December that the Emperor admitted them successively to his presence. They agreed in the representation they made to his Majesty of the insurrection of the 29th of November. According to these statements it had not been produced by any preconcerted plan, no definite object had been aimed at by the rebels, who were but a handful of young men, subaltern officers and students. The ringleaders, they said, had not succeeded in making the four regiments of the line and the batta lion of sappers act, andl in raising the populace, till they spread the false report that the Russians were massacring the Poles. It was not till after two days of stupor and terror that the citizens, encourgaed by the voice of the Government, speak ing and acting in the name of the legitimate authority, felt the necessity of arming to the defence of their persons and property , against pillage and massacre. M. Jesierski reiterated the assur ance that the immense majority of the nation and of the army was 'wholly unconcerned in the enterprise of a few rash young men, and that this majority, composed of all prudent and sen sible _persons, persisted in its attachment and fidelity to the King. He confessed, at the same time, that after the first moments of consternation lively apprehensions had Pilled the minds of all for the consequences of the events that had taken place, as they might endanger ',the existence of the whole country, by rendering the nation responsible for the crimes of some individuals. In conclusion, he implored the clemency and the generosity of his Imperial Majesty. The Emperor, in reply, expressed the lively grief which had been excited in him by the crimes committed at Warsaw, and the treason which had stained the honour of the Polish army. He felt that he ought to punish the authors of so many evils, but his heart, in unison with his interests and that of Poland, made him ardently desire that the Poles themselves might make atonement for the offences of which some de luded men had been guilty both to Russia and their own country. His Majesty impressed on M. Jesierski the necessity of restoring legal order, and of punishing the great criminals, whose number he knew to be small, reserving to himself the right of pardon—a right which it would be agreeable to him to exercise with liberality. The Emperor added, that it was diffi cult to reconcile the temper and sentiments of fidelity which he had just heard expressed, 'with the measures that were taking in Poland. What were the armaments ordered in all partiof the kingdom—of the new levies of troops—of the preparations for War—of the proclamations addressed to the Russian provinces to excite them to revolt. The honour of his crown did not permit his Majesty to consent to any concessions, especially when it was demanded in the midst of a rebellion, and in open arms ; that, however, his proclamation sufficiently made known his inten tions with respect to Poland, and to all the Poles who should not persevere in their infatuation ; the criminal authors of the re volt, and not the whole nation, had hitherto incurred his dis pleasure ' • but if the Poles armed against Russia—if they came forward to combat against their Sovereign—it would be them selves, their own cannon that would overthrow Poland. He made them alone responsible for the misfortunes of their country. With this answer Jesierski left St. Petersburgh, Dec. 2.5, (Jan. 6.) In the interval Lieutenant-Colonel Welejinski, his Majesty's Aid-de-Camp, who had come from Warsaw, bringing the same details as Prince Lubecki and M. Jesierski had laid before the Emperor, was immediately sent back with the same answer from his Imperial Majesty. While the Emperor held at St. Petersburgh the noble and frank language, a virulent manifesto was drawn up at Warsaw, by a deputation of the Diet, and the official publication of it y N otnwh %; feli a hser s iacel:h l uit i c"i i sti ? , ) ,,,,ta d irrso e jyii, r t:li e oilsened d ikdrts:eik, o ajai n 4n,,l l ,,,, y :l:,atanohcteie b tqsy y tftiaailtil‘elo t ,saf h .tcr e rt::::::hiv: ? tn t e l d, d ,:bia: ? htoi t huaaw, gpgioti m ht,:hyt o euc t e l odi e stoti. r iuffi ; s t tcs i ri..u o 3: n it.intiheec o nae a f reniari:i.: ( irrit:i taken :en Po tpo i s that nation Eurn.hii: h l Chlopiski declared that he could not take on himself to plunge ad no djr. just g t violate c te t and t e roleifavto.,ll:l):etgisoii.:llnei revolutionists High ness's tvas e resignation on the 6th )18th) of January, left the field to he h e: s e . t t l e e evcorhelet revolutionists, declaringisth toh themselvesro uo f Po ltahned representa tives s n e t n , t i a s .. o th a as call given up to their influence. recited.)

In these afflicting circumstances, his Imperial Majesty has at least the consolation of reflecting, that he has omitted nothing to prevent so fatal a catastrophe, deploring the necessity of ful filling a rigorous b u t sacred ditty, his generous heart will not suffer any opportunity to escape of alleviating, by his modera tion Sand clemency, the severe effects of • t . jus ice.

It is extremely edifying to hear the matter-of course cry of disinterestedness which the Borough mongers and their allies set up in justification of their opposition to Reform. Never since the days of CINCINNATUS were such virtuous senators heard of. They are all, by their own account, patterns of the most virgin purity— patriots every inch of them, from the crown of their heads to the sole of their shoes. Talk of interested motives indeed ! They scorn the base insinuation. They are covered with blushes at the idea. Mr. J. V. SHELLEY, for instance, professes to be horror-struck at the supposition of self interfering with his opinions—yet singu larly enough it happens that he is the Member for Gatton, one of the rotten boroughs to be dis franchised! Lord SrommoNT also lauds in no measured terms the disinterestedness of his oppo sition to Reform—yet he too is unlucky enough to be Member for Aldborough, another rotten Borough to be disfranchised ! Next comes my Lord DARLINGTON. He is quite solemn and didactic - on the subject, setting his face against Reform from the conviction of " an unpreju diced mind"—especially against that portion of it which relates to the disfranchisement of rotten boroughs without compensation. How unfor tunate ! On looking over the list, we find that his Lordship is in the same predicament with the rest of hie fraternity, and actually represents Salt ash, another rotten Borough to be disfranchised! Then we have Mr. C. B. WALL. He, too, overflows with disinterestedness in his dislike to Reform—and he, too, is Member for Guildford, which in future is to return only one Member ! We are far from impugning the motives of these gentlemen. We give them credit for all the sincerity they profess. We believe that sef never enters for an instant into their calculations, and only trust that the country will be equally open to conviction. We cannot, however, di vest ourselves of an idea that the people will view the case differently. We cannot help think ing that they will call that opposition factious and interested, which is, perhaps, after all, sin gularly disinterested and miraculously patriotic. Of one thing we are convinced. From what ever motive it originates, it will not have the slightest weight with the country. Meantime,., while the bigoted and prejudiced are thus mustering all their forces, the liberal and enlightened throughout the metropolis are stir ring heaven and earth to counteract their in fluence. Already public meetings are an nounced for the express purpose of conveying the thanks of the country to Ministers, and offering them the unqualified support of the people. Let not the provinces be behind-hand in this great work. It is their duty to come boldly— promptly—generously forward, and play their part with as much spirit and efficiency as the Ministers have played theirs. The man who now lags in the rear—no matter how humble or unimportant he may think his exer tions—deserves to be a slave all his life. Let the Political Unions then hold solemn debate in every quarter of the kingdom. Let Birmingham —let Stockport—let Macclesfield—let Edin burgh—let Belfast—let every town where the inhabitants have associated together for Reform—now lift up their voices. Now or never is the time. The political horizon is now unclouded, who shall say how soon it may be overcast ? Before quitting the subject, we cannot avoid alluding to the enthusiasm—this is not too ex aggerated a term to use—that Lord J. RUSSELL'S speech has excited throughout the metro polis. People go about with smiles and con fidence in their faces, as if the country had just escaped some great national convulsion. Never before was public opinion so unanimous. Never before was Government so popular. Whigs—Liberals—Radicals—all are equally gratified. But, indeed, what person with the slightest pretensions to common sense, can pos sibly find fault with a measure which has re ceived on the same night the suffrages of HUME, O'CONNELL, MACAULEY, and HUNT The intelligence from abroad is scanty and vague. According to the latest and best ac counts on the subject, the Russians have been worsted in some skirmishes with the Poles, who are full of confidence. German Papers contain some particulars re. specting the late interview of the Polish De puties with the Emperor Nic HoL As. The lan guage of the CZAR was like his Manifesto— pompous and uncompromising.
