consequently the following litticlea, &II Al !Wide(' by the com mission, were read Art. 1. The entrance . of the French territory is inter dicted to Charles X , to his descendants, and to the hus bands and wives of his descendants. The article 17 of the Civil Code, relative to the loss of their quality of being French born, is applied to them. They can neither ac quire nor enjoy any property, or revenue or pension, in their own right or title. 2. The disposition of the property that may belong to Charles X., as likewise that of Chambord, shall be regu la•ed by the law, which shall regulate the liquidation of the former Civil List, and until then they shall be governed by the administration of that Civil List. S. The other persons designated in the first article, shall neither enjoy nor dispose of an y of the property which may belong to them during the space of one year, counting from the promulgation of this law. During that time the property shall he administered by the administra tion of the domains ("administration des domains"). It shall, finally, be enacted in what space of time the pro prietors shall be obliged to alienate the said properties. 4. The revenues of the abovementioned properties and es'ates shalt be deposited in the " Caisse des Consigna tions," to be, with the interest thereupon, transmitted to the ti ustees. Tic Chamber decided upon deferring the discussion of the project until to-morrow, and proceeded to the Order of the Day, when M. Gaitan de Larochefoucault ascended the tribune, to speak in favour of M. Cormetrin's propo sition relative to the formation of the Council of State. (PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.) BOLOGNA, MARCH 11.-My last letter announced to you that General Zucchi bad completely beaten the corp. of the Duke of Modena ; this victory, however, has done little service to the Alodenese. At break of day, yesterday morning, we found them at our gates, well armed, witi, their General at their head. There were 875 men and two pieces of cannon. The brother of the Duke, at the bead of his German regiment, has taken possession of Alo dent. It seems thus that the principle of non-interven tion has been violated ; but it is pretended that the Aus trians have a right of interference in the affairs of Parma and Modena, after the late protocols of London. It is said that at Ferrara they have hoisted again the tri coloured flag, and that the Austrians have retired into the fortress. Lugo, which forme a part of the legation of Ferrara, has re-hoisted yesterday the national colours, by order of our Government, and the inhabitants declare that they will only yield them at the last extremity. The little town of Ceuto has also hoisted them, without any opposi tion from the Germans. Our affairs are greatly embroiled ; we know not bow they will finish. We have here the firmest hope that no power will interpose in our affairs. God grant it ! Rome is hourly expected to fall. Our city will soon be deserted. All who are able to bear arms take the road to Romagna. We hear already of an army of 30,000 men cantoned be tween Forli and Pesaro ; there they await the Austrians, where 50,000 men will not be sufficient to subdue these brave Romanese. The country is still more animated than the towns. All the youth have set out for Ferli, where the head-quarters of the army are established. Our Go vernment is equally ready to set out, and transfer its resi dence in this city. It is said that the Austrian troops in the Modenese ter ritories are about 5,000 or 6,000 men. BOLOGNA, MARCH 9.—Civita Vecchia and Rome are still in the power of the Pope. For some days we have received no news from thence, the courier not having arrived. The brother of the Duke of Modena, who is likewise an Archduke in the Austrian service, at the head of some troops entered Modena on the 6th instant; but he was FOOD repulsed he the brave General Zucchi. At seven o'clock on the same day, the generale was beaten, and it was said that the Austrians were going to enter Bologna. Every body ran to arms, the streets were crowded with an immense population, and even women took up arms. A deputation was sent to Ferrara to make observation. On the 7th we learned that the Austrians (3,000 strong) bad taken possession of Ferrara and Cur rachio, in the name of the Pope, and by virtue of the treaty of 1815. The Austrian General has announced that be will, by order of his Sovereign, occupy the single province of Ferrara. If this be an, we need not fear an attack at Bologna, where all is now tranqui'. On the 7th, 1,500 volunteers set out from hence to Romagna, armed with guns and fowling-pieces, and one cannon. if the Government had had more arms, the force would have been more nutnerour. Two hundred and fifty students formed the advanced guard, with a de tachment of 60 of the national cavalry. It is said that these troops, when united with the Romegnese, will en camp at Bimini ; and that in case the Austrians violate the system of non-intervention, and that they are unable to rtsist, they will retire upon Ancona, to wait the arrival of the French.

(From the Official Join .nal of Warsaw of the 7th inst.) We have been witnesses to acts of barbarism which cer tainly ought not to have been expected in Europe in a war in the 19th century. The Russian's who entered Putowy, pillaged the houses, set fire to the buildings, viol ited the women, and made prisoners of the men, and this without any thing to enrage them, the inhabitants having fur nished them during their stay with all that they demanded. It is thus that the fine promises contained in their pro clamations are realized. And were these horrors com mitted by Kahnucs or Bcshkire , or even by any irregular soldiery ? Nut at all; it was the regular troop who com mitted these excesses by the express orders of their coin wanders. They revenged themselves upon those who a few days previously had been witnesses to their flight when they were defeated by Colonel Lazowski. The next day was devoted to the completion of th. 4.1 ruin of the town and the pillage of the Castle; but they did got long escape the vengeance of Heaven, for they were com ptetely defeated by the corps of Gernifal Dwernicki, which very soon arrived. Our columns were led by the Curate of Wlostowice, a respectable old man, hearing the cross instead of a banner, and our young warriors fought with unex ampled courage, despising every danger, and even in the midst of a most murderous fire making their way through the windows of the house where their enemies bad taken refuge. All the ladies who were at the Castle, in this terrible combat, were prepared for death ; they, however, put on their ball dresses, and awaited the issue of Ow battle. Providence blessed our eirorts—the invaders were repulsed with great loss, but previous to retreating, in order to be revenged for having been prevented from pil laging and destroying the Castle, they directed two dis • cha , ges of artillery amongst the females who were in is. We still hear the sound of cannon, Many Russian pri soners have passed through the town, tend our soldiers, who escort them, say that a dreadful alarm prevails among the whole corps of Kreutz. General Szembeck was thrown down with his horse, by a sudden attack made by the enemy's cavalry, but re covering himself at the instant, he fired his carbine, killed several Russians, and resumed the command of his corp., without the least wound. OFFICIAL POLISH BULLETIN OF THE LATE ACTIONS NEAh. GROCIIOW. " After the battles of the 19th and 20th of February, the enemy occupied a Wong position, and covtred by the forests, repaired his considerable losses by numerous rein forcements, whilst the national army remained encamped in the plcin and the fields, which its courage had recently SO bravely defended. " The numerous corps of Prince Szichowski, which arrived on the 24th front Seroch, attacked our left v,10,-,7, commanded by Generals I'llalachowski arid Zankowski, anti obtai ne d possess i on o f the village of Riotolzba. General r e v n e knwicki, commanding the left wing, arrived towards the evening with the brigade of General Getgud. The at tack of the enemy was checked by a combat which lasted till the evening. Th e • • next morning, the 25th, a very obstinate contest took place upon our left, wlc_sze General Krukowicki attacked Prince Szaclmelyski. At nine the co rps of Rosen and of pdhlen' u the command of Field-Marshal Diebit , ch , supported by com m e nced a general attack on a numerous artillery' T'oiti,is Wing on our wing, com manded by General Chlopieki. cemprised on the left the db a little the right the div ision of General Sz embek , k to division of Gener al Ski z y necki ; in the rear, an the left, were stationed p arties of cavalr y under Generals Uminski and Lubienski. In front of the line of attaCk the brigade of General Rohland occupied an important post io a small wood, and it was reinforced by a part of the di vision of General Zyminsky, and the artillery of Generals' Szembek and Skrzynecki, in order to enable the better to sustain the fire of the enemy's artillery, which was very superior in number :o ours, and had its batteries on the ramparts raised three feet in height, which were constructed during the night. " The enemy, sustained by the the of his wide arti!. lery, directed all Ms attacks towards the wood, which, in ' the two former affairs, had been courageously maintained by our troops. After a combat of two hours, General Rollland was obliged to give way, and he retired with his division to the rear, where it formed the corps de reserve. General Zyminski had his arm carried away by a bullet, And died shortly afterwards. General Skrzynecki rec 21111. uneneed the contest . , his division taking the place of the other which had retired. General Chlopieki ordered retaking of the wood, which was occupied by num-•rous Inasses of the enemy. General Skrzynecki formed his brigades in columns of attack, penetrated the wood under a shower of bullets, and after a sanguinary contest, which was several times renewed, he regained possession of th, left plot of the wood. In order to sustain this contest, General Chlopieki, who was always t!) be found where here wai the greatest danger, formed columns of attack with the grenadier regiments of General 11;i1'‘erg, and leading them himself, by beat of drum, against the enemy, !se ohained possession of the rest of the wood, and ex tended his infantry on the right. " The contest was now converted into a massacre,—our troops seizing the enemy's cannon, enclosed them, and re .urned to the charge. The action lasted till two. Ge neral Chlopieki had two horses killed under him by gre. wader, and he himself was wounded in the leg by a ball from a carbine. Fate at length, desirous to deprive us of the unity of command, directed another grenade under his horse, which killed the animal, and wounded Chlopieki in both legs, who was thrown to the ground by the falling of his horse. " The enemy bad now moved up his corps de reserve, and the fire of his innumerable artillery was continued along his whole line. New batteries sustained by new corps, which had arrived from Kawgezyn, renewed the attack in the rear of the wood, and penetrated it a second 'ime ; the consequence was, that the wood could no longer be maintained, and it was abandoned. General Uminski, in spite of all his efforts, bad not sufficient troops to occupy the space between our right wing and our left wing, commanded by General Krukowicki, and he or dered up new corps from Kawgezyn and Zabko ; our army, in consequence, was obliged to content itself with taking up a position at Praga. The divisions of General Szembek and Skrzynecki accomplished this move ment in an orderly manner, and without ceasing to keep up a contest. The enemy, deceived by this movement, thought the victory would be nccelerated by causing to defile from both sides of the wood his last reserves, consisting of the corps of cavalry of Witt, and a numerous horse artillery. On the left, our artillery alone repulsed this attlek. To the right, on the road of Mi• torno, a column, composed of cuirassiers and hauls, in spite of the fire of our artillery, which played on their large masses and caused them a great loss, still advanced, and threatened to break our ranks. Already the head of this column had begun to pass our lines, when the company of obersiers of Colrain Skalski fell on its flank, and by its fire checked for a moment its advance. The infantry of Generals Szembek and Skrzynecki, and the cavalry of Co lonels Kicki and Skarzyneki Casimir, who, in this decisive movement distinguished himself by his coolness and his courage, lost not so favourable an opportunity. The whole fell together upon the flank and front of the ene my's cavalry, which sustained a very considerable loss, and retreated in the greatest disorder. The whole regiment of cuirassiers of Prince Albert, which formed the head of this column, was annihilated; a part of it remained on the f eld of battle, and another portion of it fell into our hands, with two pieces of cannon. " On the left wing, General Krukowieki, after a most obstinate combat, drove the corps of Prince Czachowiki from ali these points, causing considerable loss, and taking two pieces of cannon ; three other pieces of cannon which could not be removed for want of horses, were spiked, and thrown into a ditch. " The state of things on the right wing, where the enemy had displayed a very powerful force, did not permit General Krukowicki to pursue the corps of the Prince, and by this means alone it was preserved from utter de struction. " The enemy, weakened bx so many fruitless and cala mitous attacks, slackened towards evening, and finished the day by continued discharges of artillery along the whole liue, which were answered by our artillery, which had been so much distinguished during the battle for its courage And coolnass. " After all was quiet, our army began to retire to its intrenchments under Praga, in order to pass the night, when the Cemmander-in-Chief, observing a considerable opening in the ice, which was breaking up in the river, and considering it requisite to take advantage of the bridge, which was already rather insecure, in order to prevent the army from being separated from the left bank of the Vis tula, and from its mrgazines, he issued orders to pass the bridge and enter Warsaw, which were carried into execu tion during the remainder of the night with the greatest order, and without any lose, and without the least move ment on the part of the enemy. " Our loss in men has been considerable. Since the commencement of the war we have had 9,000 killed and wounded, but 6.000 of whom, now in the hospitals, m.iy be enabled to return to the ranks. The loss of the enemy is, doubtless, much more considerable. The whole army has gloriously done its duty; even the corps newly formed, such a• the 20th regiment of infantry of the line, the sth of Ifulans bearing the name of Zamoyski, and also the regiment of Posen, rivalled is the contest the oldest soldiers, The conduct of our artillery, in particular, was above all praise, especially in the batteries under the com mand of Colonel Pizski, and of Captain Ttzepecki, two officers who, for their great services, have been promoted We lost only three pieces of cannon, which were dismounted and could not be brought away from the field of battle. " We believe that these three memorable actions, fought under the walls of Grochow during the last few days, have convinced the enemy that it is not enough to have merely innumerable forces in order to conquer the Polish soldiers who defend so holy a cause, with the device, ' Let the na• tior, be restorrd or perish gloriously for ever,' and who fight like heroes. These contests may also convince Europe that Poland, possessed of such children, and such heroes, is capable of serving its ft iends as the bulwark of Europe, and worthy of resuming its rank in the midst of the Euro pean Power,. j;; ; e Polish army now assembled round Warsaw guards the bridge over the Vistula, and defends the entrance to Praga. It awaits the crdora of its chief to re-commence hestili ties." _ _ [Here follows a very just eulogium on the conduct of the soldiers.] The Hon. Colonel CRADOCK attended at the House of Commons to SUrpOrt the Reform Bill, although labouring under severe illness. The Colonel saffered himself to be carried home at one o'clock, under in impressiac that the division would not take place that night. The importance attached to the question of Parliamentary Reform at the present moment is strikingly evinct4l by a comparison of the numbers who voted on Tuesday night, with those of former divisions on the same subject. In 1821 two plans of Reform were debated in the House of Commons—the one of a " moderate" ...larscter, introduced by Lord Jon.; RUSSELL; the other, " 6 revolutionary," by Mr. LA3IBTON, now Lord DURHAM. On the first, 2!0 Alembers voted (124 for, and 155 against), or rather more than one-third of the House; and, on Mr. LAMBTON'S proposition, only 98 Members, szzrely a sixth of the whole number, could be prevailed upon to atend ; the motion being lost by a majority of 55 to 43. Indeed, an hopeless was the cause, and such the consequent apathy of the a rformers, that whilst the House was dividing, Mr. LAMBTON himself, and several sup pw-ters of the measure, were quietly enjoying the luxuries of a apl.s.rtilid entertainment at Mr. MICHAEL ANGELO TAYLOR'S.

MEETING OF THE PITMEN' OF THE TYNE AND WEAR. NEWCASTLE, MONDAY, MARCH 21. This being the day appointed for the general meeting of the pitmen of the collieries on the Tyne and Wear, on Newcastle-town-moor, so early as nine o'clock in the fore noon large bodies of c,dliers arrived in Newcastle from the different collieries in the neighbourhood. A few took re freshment in town, but most of them proceeded directly the place of meeting, a situation most judiciously chosen on the brow of the bill on the new race course. At eleven o'clock a great number had arrived at the spot, but the great bodies from Hetton and other places did not arrive till between twelve and one o'clock. The several collieries marched in good and excellent order both through the town and to the place of meeting. At the lower end of the Moor several of the collieries halted for the purpose of calling the roll and conferring with the deputies, (ihree being appointed from each col liery for the purpose of managing the general business,) and afrerwards proceeded to pin the great Lody at the top of the hill. Here a waggon was very properly placad for the convenience of those who intended to address the meeting ; and where the reporters for the press were also accommodated. A little after one a person of the name of Thomas Heron stool up and addressed the assembled multitude. He exhorted them all to keep good order, a►nd every in In to take care of and protect his neighbour, and prevent injury b2.:rig dune to any one. He would allow no person to be stripped, as bad heen threatened to strangers coming amongst them ; and should any transgress the order, or occasion any breach of the peace, he would himself repre sent such person to the magistrate, and get the delinquent punished ; as it was only by good order and a peaceable demeanour they could hope to obtain theapprobation of the magistracy and the good will of the community at large. A cart with ale, he observed, had been brought on the ground ; the object of the proprietor tuna well known, it was to make money ; but he hoped none of his brethren would taste it, or encourage him ; let him go elsewhere and sell his ale. The Mayor of Newcastle, he observed, was expected amongst them, and he hoped every one would pay him that respect which was due to him. An order was now given to send cue of the three deputies from every colliery to surround the hustings, in order to ascertain how many collieries were present, when deputies from the following appeared, viz —Hetton, North Hetton, Pittington, Raint.n, Newbottle, Lumley, Lamb ton, Shiney Row, Fatfield, Washington, Black Fell, Springwell, Harraton, Ouston, King Pitt, Sheriff Hill, High Heworth, Team Colliery, Fawdon, Mount Moor, Friars Goose, Hepburn. South Shields, Elswick, Stygate, Garsfield, Wylam, Walbottle, Callerton, Wide-open, West Moor, Wallsend, Walker, Gosforth, Seghill, Rackworth, Hallowell, Cramlingten, Whitley, Hartley, Cowpen, Shield Row, Glebe, Jarrow, Fawde, Earsdon, Derwent Crook, Netherton. The speaker next noticed, that the present was not the first time he had had occasion to state their grievances ; and as there was now an opportunity of bringing them before the public at large, through the medium of the Papers, he cs , uld again state some of the principal griev ances under which they laboured, and for which they sought redress. The first on the list he would notice was an article in the bond, which gives our employers a power to lay us idle when they please, perhaps three or four days in the fortnight, ou the plea of any accident arising in the pit, or to the machinery or engines; and no redress can he sought by the pitmen till they have laid isle three days. This is a subject which, having been long complained of, it was promised to make the language of the bond en this head more explicit. Instead of which, by the alteration made they have rendered it ten times worse, by adding, " or any other cause ;" by which, causes of the most frivo lous nature may be alleged for keeping the men from work —sometimes on account of the waggon stopping, the men will lie four or five hours down below, broiling and sweating, waiting for work. At this time the Mayor (Mr. Archibald Reed) came tip and addressed the speaker and the rest on the hustings, expressing a hope that they would conduct themselves peaceably and with propriety,;ind they should be protected. He had no authority, he said, from the coal-owners to promise them any redress of the grievances they com plained of; but whatever resolutions they should come to he expected they would submit to him, and he would pay every attention to them, so far as lay in his power; at the same time he complimented them on their peaceable de meanour in passing through the town. The speaker having returned thanks to the Mayor, re sumed his address to his brethren—Another grievance in the bond was, that they were also hound to their houses— their houses were considered as part of their wages ; and if not bound again they were liable to be immediately turned out. Being considered merely as tenants at will, on any difference with the viewer, we are liable to be turned out any time, though the period of the bond be not expired. 'I bus are we made slaves to the tempers and caprice' of the viewers; and the workmen are fearful of even consulting with each other on their grievances lest it might come to the ears of their mestere, and they be de prived of both bread and shelter. Another grievance complained of was, that the boys are bound to work fourteen hours a day, and working at the crane nearly naked, and not more than five or ten minutes at a time allowed for refreshment. Deprived during the day of the privilege of light, and when done work, after a brief refresh ment put to bed, in order to get as much rest as they can, no time is left for mental recreation, for the improvement of their minds in any branch of knowledge; and consi dering they are put into the pit generally at the tender age of seven, no wonder that pitmen are brought up illite rate, and ignorant of the most important and necessary branches of knowledge. He congratulated the meeting, however, that their prospects were brightening, as never such a union before took place among them. Upwards of twenty thousand, five sixths of whom he believed were animated by one spirit. Let pitmen only be faithful one to another, and while they deported themselves peaceably, they may hope to obtain a redress of their grievances, and experience the sympathies and support of the community at large. He would now submit to the consideration of the meeting a series of propositions drawn up and agreed to at a meeting of the deputies at Houghton-le-Spring last week.—l. That our grievances be made pubic in the newspapers.-2. That a petition be sent to the Lord Chancellor, or the House of Commons.-3. That it be made known to the men in each colliery that every man muss pay sixpence towards defraying the expence of sending deputies to London.-4. It is proposed that we work on unbound, if the viewers will let us ; because, should we refuse to work, the Magistrates may punish us and prevent us from getting relief. Should they refuse to employ us, we can demand relief from our parishes ; and if refused, then we have our redress from the Magistrates, and can perhaps get employment on the roads breaking stones. We shall thus be at liberty to work as we choose and will be able to avoid many impositions which we are now subject to. Let us only be faithful and unanimous, and we shall obtain our purpose.-5. That there be a meeting amongst the men of every colliery twice a week, Fidelity and union alone can obtain our purpose. All these propositions were agreed to separately by a show of hands. Another speaker lamented the condition of the pitmen and especially their children, doomed to labour fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, and seventeen hours a day—leaving no time for their improvement in either letters, religion, or morality. It will be asked, how are pitmen to better their condition ? The answer is, by union and fidelity one man to another. We have been slaves to our task-masters, slaves to their tempers, and while courting their smiles, they forgot that they were men, and assumed the dignity of demi-gods, while exhibiting the character of demi-devils. The speaker next referred to an incorrect statement of Mr. Buddle before the Committee of Parliament relative to their wages, which the speaker contradicted and elievved that the wages of pitmen had of late years been consider ably reduced. He next recommended that the men from the different collieries should observe the same order in re turning as they had in coming to the place of meeting. and hoped that order and candour would prevail, as it would best answer their purpose. Another speaker noticed another important grievance to which they were subjected by the bond. At Christmas they were obliged to idle three weeks without any com pensation. Since 1810, he observed, the community of pitmen have been sinking in public esteem, principally owing to the degredations they were subjected to by the bond. England's wheels, however, move on our steam ; and, notwithstanding our oppressions, talent has been not unfrequently exhibited amongst us ; but such has been the spirit of our task-masters, such persons have inv , triablv been crushed, and every means made use of to extinguish every spark of genius and talent that may at any time bare appeared amongst us. What has man to depend on but to the fidelity and honesty of his fellow men ? Another sp ea ker observed that many of the coal- owners were noble gentlemen, but their agents have made them t s nl;y ehiesnko wo rth 1001., now exhibited themselv es i n theirings at our expence ; so that some o f th em, origi carriages with lordly establishments—the speaker cautioned his brethren against the arts and wiles of such men, as they were not their friends, but would endeavour to cajole that they might enslave them. The public thanks of the meeting were moved to be given to tte Mayor r or his frienN adviet? aid MO WO tion to the pitmen assembled, which was carried by a shod of hands. Another speaker noticed a very serious grievance w14:11, they had to complain of, in the article of candles. Cl°. .fles which cost only sixpence per pound were sold to. on that one article. Thus Hetton 7 them at 10d. per pound, leaving a profit Of 4d. per pound then, allowing only 3d. per pound profit, pay yearly 4721. f extra on candles only. If to this be added the pits not Lambton, Lumley, and Philadephia, the a mount will n ° be less then 3,000/. a year imposed on this article. Awl bolish it alt). with such tyranny ! exclaimed thes • k ver er--I gether. ; f It was then proposed and agreed to, that a Ineet' n ° delegates should take place at five o'clock the same eye-• ling at the Hawk, in Gateshead, to appoint delegate° t° send to London with their petition ; and also to Wai t ' the Mayor with the result of the meeting and C onsult w ` t him on the subject. It was also agreed that one delegate should be sent from every pit in future, thereby increasil the number of delegates a • '' extent of t r ' according to t colliery• pits and 600 Another speaker observed another serious grievance they had to complain of. In many places the overmaan°P or agents kept, some a pu bli c -h ouse , ot h ers a butcher's b' same flour and oth e r s hop s , t o w hi c h the pitmen wer,e tied, as those who purchased at their shops were 3100 preferred in th e emp l oyment , an d t h ose w ho did n ot we ' f. e entitled to nothing the agents c o uld deprive theta of. Hen 6 great impositi ons were p rac tis e d upon the ln. „4l s was therefore re s ol ve d b y t h e meet i ng t h a t neither e a- e l . or any thi ng e l se sh ou ld in future be purchased b e°B hewers of any person connected with the collieries. , An order was then given that none of the h od i e : e cept the delegates should stop in town; after w hie " meeting quietly retired from the ground in the 0 ,, good order in which th e y a r ri ve d, a b ou t a quarter o' three o'clock. The day was favourable. It was calculated that r ° 0 1 1 0 ; wards of thirty thonsand persons were present. r t the good order observed by the great body of .pitrne°, the slightest accident occurred.
