1 1..4 `. l itave been obliged to deviate f r om th e s t r i c t 644 .1 4;;-: ivies t t l!erliad own. Maxsvitn pported the motion. Mr. BLACKNEIri defended the appointments made by Ministers. •Sir O,WARRENDER thought it a bad precedent for the House to set the example of interfering with the pre 7j, negative of the Crown, and the present motion would have that effect; he should therefore oppose it, and support his Majesty's Ministers. Sir J. NEWPORT defended the appointment of the Lord Lieutenant of Wexford. Lord TULLAMORE maintained that in the county of Carlow Ministers had grossly violated their own principles by passing over the gentry of that county in favour of a Nobleman who resided so far from the county. Ministers had even passed over one Nobleman of Carlow who was descended from the ancient Kings of Ireland.—(A laugh.) The Noble Lord maintained that Ministers had acted with equal injustice in the cases of many other counties. Mr. LAMBERT defended the appointments in Wexford. Sir R. BATESON supported the motion. Mr. CONOLLY would not have given his support to the Bill if be had thought that Ministers would have filled up the appointments as they had done. He conceived that Ministers had not acted in a spirit of good faith. Mr. CRESSET PELHAM supported the motion. Sir J. M. DOYLE defended the appointment in the county of Carlow. The O'CONOR DON objected to the appointment in the county of Roscommon. Mr. LEFROY maintained that the Government in filling up the appointments had not acted consistently with the professions they made when they brought in the Bill. Mr. CRAMPTON denied that the Government had - violated any pripciple, or broken any faith ; bet, on the contrary, it had taken the most scrupulous care to select to the Lieutenantcy persons the most competent to answer the objects of the law. Of the 32 counties only four in stances had been alleged of the appointment of absentees, and in every such instance, the party had a large property in the county, and was resident near it ; and yet, on these grounds, his Majesty was to be interfered with in the ex. ereise of his prerogative. The motion had originated in disappointed feelings. Mr. CALLAGHAN defended the appointments which Ministers had made, particularly in the ease of Wexford. Mr. M. O'CONNELL bad been made a convert to the law by the course the debate had taken. The debate of that night had convinced him that the conduct of Ministers on this subject ought to be supported. A great majority of the appointment' were grateful to the people. After a few sr.rords from Colonel NRCIVAL, the motion was withdrewn. Lord ALTHORP moved the order of the day for the second, reading of the Scotch Exchequer Regulation Bill. A conversation arose between Mr. Keith Douglas, Mr. Hume, Mr. Herries, Mr. Burge, and Lord Althorp, re lative to the bringing forward the motion for the appoint ment of a Committee upon West Indian affairs. Lord Althorp said, that he had no intention to make any state ment upon the subject; all be intended to do was to move for the appointment of a Committee of Inquiry, and that might be done at the latter end of the evening, without any inconvenience. A general discussion was never his intention, nor had he any design to slight the subject by postponing the motion for a Committee. Mr. HERRIES thought that the motion for the Com mittee would require many explanations, and it was a mere mockery of the subject to postpone the motion till late at night. The House then proceeded to the consideration of the i.l•7] ,~ i ~ ~r~ SCOTCH EXCHEQUER REGULATION BILL. Mr. KENNEDY (in the absenceof the Lord Advocate) traced the history of the Exchequer Court of Scotland. The object of the Bill was to empower all the Members of the Court to retire, at otherwise one, two, or three of the Barons might discharge: the duties of the Court, or they should be performed by the Judges of Session. This abolition of the Court would eventually effect a great saving. The causes tried before this Court in 1827, 1828, and 1829, were five tkfentled and 55 undefended causes ; and since the retire ment of Baron Shepherd, there had been only one defended 'cause to be tried. In the last IS months there had been but one argument heard, and that had lasted only one hour. One part of the business of the Court was to revise charters, but this occupied only six hours in each term. The ex penditure of the Sheriffs had been discharged by the re venue of Scotland, but it was now proposed that this should be voted by Parliament. The Treasury business of Scotland was very small, and consisted principally of audit ing the revenue. This was substantially conducted by the King's Remembrancer. whose duty might be revised by the Treasury in London, and the expences of the Scotch Treasury might be saved. This was the state of the Court, and it was necessary either to give the Court some substantial or actual business, or to abolish it altogether. The Hon. Gentleman in conclusion urged that the present measure came to that House recommended by the sanction of the other branch of the Legislature, which afforded a fair presumption of its expediency, seeing that it had passed sub silentio, no objection whatever having been urged against it by any of their Lordships, many of whom were of course fully acquainted with the merits of the question and the interests which it involved. Sir G. CLERK inquired what arrangement the Noble Lord intended to adopt with reference to the present Judges. Lord ALTHORP replied, that as the Chief Baron had only held office for a short period, it was proposed to dis place him with a retiring salary amounting to but one-half his remuneration while on the bench. Mr. HUZsIE thought the pension extravagant at a period like the present, when ecanomy was so necessary, and sug gested that it might be saved by transferring his Lordship to the Court of Bankruptcy. Mr. R. FERGUSSON advocated the proposition of Ministers, which he considered, under existing circum stances, to be perfectly justifiable, and suggested that the House, if appealed to, would probably sanction a larger re• tiring salary than that now in contemplation. Sir G. W.A.IIRENDER was by no means prepared to concur in the policy of the Bill before the House, as he believed that the abolition of this Court might be very dis advantageous to the interests of the public. Sir W. RAE was of opinion, and his opinion was en tirely disinterested, that the House was not yet in posses sion of sufficient information to justify their acceding to no serious a change in the judicature of Scotland. The Right Hon. Gentleman then went at length into the de tails of the business which had been transacted in this Court for a series of years, for the purpose of showing that it had not been so inefficient as would appear from the statements of gentlemen opposite, and referred to the im plied approbation of the late and present Lord Chan cellors during the discussions which the subject had un dergone in Parliament already. If Ministers resisted an inquiry, they would act discreditably to their own charac ters, and disrespectfully to Scotland. Mr. S. CAMPBELL conceived that all the causes now disposed of by this tribunal might he beard with equal ad vantage in the Court of Session, and justified the proposed amount of slr. Abercromby's retiring salary. On the question that the Bill be now read a second time, Sir G. CLERK again protested against the abolition of the office without further information to satisfy the House as to the expediency of the change. The Right Hon. Baronet also argued at some length that the salaries of the Judges of the Court of Session should be increased, in pro portion to the increase of their ditties. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL vindicated the policy of the measure, and mentioned the fact that Sir Samuel Shepherd had resided in London ten months in the year, a length of absence perfectly consistent with the discharge of his judicial function.. This, he submitted, 'was a deci sive proof that the post which he could hold on such easy terms was in reality equivalent to a sinecure. An HON. MEMBER. having moved an adjournment of the debate to this day, a short conversation ensued there open, and the motion was eventually agreed to. WEST INDIES. Mr. P. THOMSON rose, pursuant to notice, to move the appointment of a Select Committee to inquire into the commercial state of the West India colonies. Government had resorted to this proceeding from a confessed inability which they might reasona bl y h ope to propose any plan by to relieve the present distress of the West Indian interest. It might be remembered that the Hon. Member for Dum fries, on a former discussion respecting the Sugar Refinery Bill, had moved for the appointment of a Committee to take this subject into consideration, and afterwards with draw his motion. Subsequently, however, be had pro posed to refer to a Committee of the whole House all the papers and documents which he bad already sub mitted to the Board of Trade. It was in consequence of that wish so expressed that he (Mr. P. Thomson) had given notice of the motion which he now begged to offer to the attention of the House,— a motion which there was reason to believe would be pretty generally approved of b y th e parties on whose interests it was intended to operate. The obje ct of in q ui ry was simpl y an d exclu sively the present commercial conditi on of the West Indies, and as he did not anticipate that h e should en counter any objection, he thought it unnecessary to detain the House with any further observations. The motion having been put from the chair, Mr. GOULBURN expressed his surprise that a question of such moment should be obtruded upon the House at such an unseasonable hour.—(Hear.) Mr. K. DOUGLAS could not but feel some disappoint- ment at finding that a measure of such a nature should he proposed at a moment when there were so many apparent indications that the session was just drawing to a dose. Lord ALTHORP could not concur with the Hon. Member in assuming that the Session was sonear a ant elusion. On the contrary, he anticipated that it would still be protracted for a considerable time Longer—(Cheers from the Ministerial benches)---and at least for a sufficient space to afford ample opportunity for the inquiry now pro posed. How that inquiry might terminate was not for him to predict, but he did hope that it would be produc-- tive of those beneficial effects which he, in common with some Hon. Gentlemen opposite, so earnestly desited-. Mr. IRVING maintained that no material advantage during the present year tonld be derived from the inquiry in contemplation, but still thought it desirable that such a Committee should he appointed, as it might eventually lead to some satisfactory result.—(Hear.) Mr. BURGE should move the adjournment of the de bate to this day, which the Hon. Member did accordingly. Mr. BERNAL conceived it impolitic of the West In dian interest to resist the eppointtnent of the proposed Committee, although pet.haps an inquiry by the other House might b' preferable, as being the more convenient of the two, he therefore advised the Hon. Gentleman to withdraw his motion of adjournment. After a few words from Mr. HUME, Mr. COURTENAY supported the motion of the Hon. Member for Eve, and inquired whether it was meant that the Committee should enter into the question between master and slave. Lord ALTHOHP made answer in the negative. Sir C. IFORBES and Mr. EWART approved of the ap pototment of the Committee. Mr. IRVING asked whether Ministers intended to send out the proposed Orde`c in Council to the Colonies ? Lord HOWICk, in reply, believed it was the intention of Ministers to recommend it to the adoption of the Colo nial Assemblies. Mr. HUME assured the Noble Lord that it was im possible to devise ti more likely mode of kindling a civil war in tht , West Indies. Mr. iIURGE then withdrew his motion, and a Com mittee was appointed, and named accordingly. The other Orders having been disposed of, the House adjourned at Half-past Three o'clock. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. We see, on looking over the debates of he Lords oh Wednes day evening, that some p e rsona b e gin tb take alarm at the effects produced, or anticipated, frOm the speeches of those Peers who have defended the Reform 13111, and are inclined to quarrel with Lord Grey because his Lordship "presumed to lecture" the Right Iletr, Bishops. If there was one passage of Lord Grey's excellent oration more impressive and affecting than any other, it was that towards the close, wherein he turned and appealed to the Lords Spiritual, calling upon th e m to be Wise i n lime, and not endanger the stability of the ChUrch of England by a course which they must hereafter repent of. And who is there, let us ask, among the enlightened friends of our national Church, that does not cartel* with the head of the King's Government, in beseeching the Bishops,—and in their sphere the Clergy gene rally,—but above all, the Right Rev. Prelates,—to watch the temper of the times, and to put their house in order, that they may meet, not unprepared, the manifold dangers which approach them ? By what considerations Can an observant and reflecting member of the Established Church be in duced to vote against this Measure of Reform ? We allude at present to Mtn of understanding, who know how to calculate and appreciate symptoms,—not infatuated fools, who rush 'blindly on, and take offence at being told there is a preci pice before them. Of sober-minded Bishops, then, tve would fain ask the question, what induces them to vote against Reform ? They may answer u 3 that they fear its effects upon the Church. But what effects ? The thininUtion of its wealth ? and,—to push the inquiry house,—by what power will its wealth be diminished? The terrified Bishop will be apt to say,.' By that of an House of Commons subservient to popular opinion. I therefbre give my vote against the creation of such an House of Commons." Now we understand each other. The Bishops conceive that public opinion, if it can find an instrtnnent for the purpose in a direct representation of the people, will deprive them of part of their iniportance, Is there, then, any reason why the feelings of the country should, by nature or necessity, be more adverse to the Church of England than to the King of England ? If the hostile sentiment dies generally exist, it must arise from a general impression that the Church pursues interests at variance with those of the community. And how is such an error to be cor rected ?—how such an unftiehdly spirit conciliated ? Not, surely, by now stepping in to defeat the eager wishes of a unanimous nation, and transmitting the intelligence through the remotest parts of L'ngland, that it is the Bishops who prevented the great Bill of Reform from becoming the law of - the land. If the Bishops dread the country, as an enemy, let them strive to ob tain a bold of the public gratitude, by proving themselves lovers of liberty, and enabling themselves to tell the people, " the lay Lords were divided almost equally, but we threw our mitres into the scale, and it is to us you owe your majority in favour of Reform." Who, let us ask, in any public assembly of Great Britain, would dare to fly in the face of such benefactors, and deny that the Church of England deserved well of the English nation ? Who, if the Bishops continue to reject the Bill, will henceforth dare to be their advocate t If they be really fearful of a Reformed Parliament, do they not see that the existence of such a Parliament cannot by any human possibility be retarded beyond the ensuing Christ mas ? And do they desire to arm both people and Parliament, with pretexts if they be hostile, with reasons be they ever so friendly, for cutting away the power, the patronage, and magni ficence of the church ? Should it be the unhappy determination of the Prelates to rest for their support on a borough Parliarnent, had they not better first convince themselves that the borough Parliament itself has some assured support ? From all that ap pears of the public spirit in every part of the kingdom,—from the meetings of the people,—from the petitions which load the table of the House of Lords,—from the admissions of Noble Peers, themselves most inveterately hostile to Reform,—nay, from the obvious wavering of the Duke of Wellington himself, more firm to his creed of expediency than to that of no Reform,—it is clear as noon-day, that the measure is virtually carried, and that the Bishop who votes against the Bill gives a vote against the sta bility of the church of England. As for those of the Rev. Lords who toss their heads at Lord Grey, and bridle up at his Lordship's freedom in advising them, they are incorrigible in their obstinacy if they do not now perceive that the Noble Earl (him self deeply interested for the Bench) has been its most honest counsellor. The Right Rev. Prelates have still some eighteen hours to correct any false calculations of which they may have been guilty. We pray them to make use of their time. Mean time we point their attention to a matter of painful singularity connected with one of their Reverend body. Carr (as Dr. Burnet is used to speak of his brethren), Bishop of Chichester, was pro.. 'noted by Ministers to the See of Worcester, —though not the richest, yet a very rich See,—which his circumstances were thought to require, and possessing other peculiar conveniences. The terms of his promotion, if it be irrevocably passed, were well understood; because, undoubtedly, Ministers would not have pro moted a man who had not given them to understand that he was favourable to a measure which they thought indispensable to the good of the country. Yet this man has deceived them. He has run away from his engagement ; he has not taken his place; and with a character such as this conduct will establish, he enters upon the diocese of Worcester. There is a talk of some others ratting, but those to whom the rumour applies are men, we know, of too high honour to merit the imputation. Besides, the rats only quit a sinking ship; and we can give the Noble crew notice, that even if this ship were to receive a broadside in the present struggle, she will take time to repair her tackle, add fresh sails, and then renew the action with the certainty of success. Nothing different from what they have done was expected from Lords Glengall and Coventry. We suppose their example cannot attract many fol lowers. The debate last night presented no peculiar feature. Lord Camarvon uttered an energetic declamation against the Bill, and Lord Plunkett a most ingenious and logical argument in favour of it. After some further conversation the House ad journed. It appeared from what fell from Earl Grey, that the debate on the second reading of the Reform Bill will not termi nate before Saturday. It is understood that their Lordships will sit on that day, and, as on the occasion of the Catholic Relief Bill, commence the proceedings at an early hour, so as to admit of their being concluded before twelve o'clock at night. Lord Althorp's declaration in the Commons, that the session is likely to last a considerable time, conveys a hint which we trust will not be thrown away.—Times. The debate is again adjourned, and will probably be still further adjourned. Lord Falmouth, who opened the debate last night, very properly refused to go farther back than 1688; for it was then that boroughmongering first obtained a field for its display. l'he boroughmongers fought admirably for themselves and the people, when the Crown was opposed to both ; but the Revolu tion gave the power to Parliament, and Parliament not being ac countable to the people, made a property of taxation. We give some of the Anti-Reforming Lords credit for their dexterity in raising a mist of words, through which they escape from the ques tion. The question is a very simple one :—Shalllsogentlemenmake a property of us, by the simple expedient of distributing a part of the plunder they extort from the nation among a few poor mechanics, dignified with the name of freemen ? An industrious nation like this is, indeed, a valuable property to any 150 indivi duais, and we do not wonder that, as Prior's thief at the gibbet, " Oft took his leave, yet was loth to depart," The boroughmongers should take leave of their power to tax without responsibility *Rh much anguish of heart. Their speeches are admirable—full of invective and all that; but will they convince John Bull that he ought to be a slave? for every man is a slave who is the property of another. Will the Noble Duke of Wellington convince Sawney, by telling him he is a well-conditioned lad, that he ought to toil at the loom, and at the anvil and the plough—to navigate every sea—to earn money to enable Lord Charles to live in one colony, Lord Thomas in another, in a princely style, without imposing any burden on their parents ; and to enable Lady Betty to have a pension at home to assist her in housekeeping ? No, no; both John and Sawney begin to put their hands on their halfpence with a de termination to know what is to be done with their money before parting with it. The question is very simple—the Lords find it very convenient to have access to the pockets of the people ; and the people find it very inconvenient that their pockets should thus be at the mercy of others. It is a struggle for the pence; and we shall see who can wrestle best. That Noble Lords should cheer the abuse dealt out to Ministers so lavishly by Earl Carnarvon is quite natural. But there is another audience, and that audience too conceives that its applause or disapprobation is of some consequence in this case. The Anti-Reformers are quite delighted with their own wisdom, and their own goodness, and the benefits they have conferred on an ungrateful people, who seem inclined to dis. pease with having their representatives named for them in fu. ture. The Roman Catholics say of the Protestant Church, that it puts the Bible into the hands of the people, and tells them to examine for themselves, only they must take care to find what the clergy tell them to find. The Lords deliberate on this ques tion ; but the decision is, thank God, in another quarter. When the Commons are firm, the machine stands still till the Lords are made to move; the people can part with a part of their number to assist the motion of the Lords ; and then all will be well, Nil desperandum, we say, Englishmen, be firm, you are invincible. and your enemies are not.—Morning Chronicle. If any thing were wanted to convince the Peers that they owe it as a sacred duty to their country to reject the Bill, the events of every hour would supply the deficiency. The various attempts made to intimidate them, by collecting large bodies of men to gether—by summoning partisan meetings—by the unconstitu tional use of the King's name—and by all the ferocious arts of a Jacobin Press, are unparalleled in the annals of this country.— But all is vain. The conservative Peers, with Wellington at their head, stand in the breach of the Constitution, as under the same leader the British army stood at Torres Vedras. So let them stand, and the cause of truth, of honour, of liberty—the cause of England and of Europe—is once more saved. At the eleventh hour a new batch of Peers is talked of, to secure the se cond reading, and the debate is said to be artificially prolonged to bring the mystery of iniquity to maturity. But will the Lords submit to this ? It is obvious they have it in their power to pre \Tilt the abomination ; for the Peers now prepared to support Mi nisters might pass over to the conservative side faster than the base mercenary r ecru i ts could b e b rought to fill their places. In addition to the long list of failures which we have n oticed, we may point out the g ran d Bi rm i ngham meeting as the greatest failure of all. The meeting was intended to intimidate the Peers • but are they intimidated ? Th e Ti vmst h reatens more such meetings. i.et us live theM by all means. That meeting Was, in the Arst instance, illegal, and expgses t the Ministers to impeachment if they had any hand in getting it up.. Then the meeting, instead Of acting in 'a legal mariner, unfurled the standard of revolution, Proclaiming that the la* should not command their obedience. The Ministers wished to prove that the good subjects of the King desired this iteform ; but Birmingham has made itself a revolu tionary town, and can no longer prove anything of the kind. Attwood (if he were one of them), and the rest of the f e ll ows who held up their hand against paying legal taxes, are no more to be. esteemed than a gang of hi g hwaymen and, pickpockets; they are outlaws and banditti, incapable of giving any opinion on a political question till they have purged theMselves of the !AAA chines of which they acknowledge themselves to be guilty. This meeting tVas an opportune one; we desired to prove th atreve. lutionists Nvere the great friends of the Bill, and lo! a hundred thou sand klitiningham radicals, according to their own chewing, first put theinselVes in a state of revolution, and then procl a i m t h e i r attachment to the Bill. It is v a in f or L or d Brougham tocall them loyal men because they gave cheers for the King; they did this only because his Majesty had been falsely described to th em as a species of revolutionary leader friendly to their objects. William the Fourth, a Constitutional Monarch, rejects and abhors the hypocritical homage or men who proclaim themselves the viola tors of hit; lalVs. But when before was a patriotic King in a situation so humiliating as that in whi c h the present Mi n i stry have placed our beloved Sovereign ? So much for Lord Grey's Birmingham thunder. This meeting is better than a thousand arguments in proof of the necessity of the immediate rejection of the Bill. The revolution has begun ; and the Lords have no choice but to pass the Bill in obedience to its mandate, or, by re jecting,it, to appeal to the laws and call upon the untainted part of the community to support them. His 'Majesty will put him self at their head, having just sworn to maintain the laws, and every loyal subject will be at his post. Reform we shall have, no doubt, in due season, but our first business is to put down treason and bring the traitors to justice.—Morning Post, DORSET ELECTION.-(SIXTH DAY.) DORCHESTER, THURSDAY.

We have just received the whole of the Paris Papers of Wed nesday, with the Gazette de France and Messager des Chambres dated yesterday. The 'Prussian State Gazette of the 28th ult. contains news from the Polish frontiers up to the 25th, by which it appears that the Polish army which had been stationed near Zakroczyn hanged their Commander, General Rybinski, and, committing other cruelties, passed the Vistula, near Plozsk, on the 21st, and on the 23d arrived at Kutno. General Bohrm had succeeded Rybinski in the command of the army. Prince Czartoryski had arrived at Cracow. The acknowledgment of Don Miguel by the Pope is mentioned with contemptuous irony. The Chamber of Deputies was again (on Tuesday) occupied in discussing the Peerage question. The recent elections had considerably strengthened the Minis terial ranks in the Chamber; but there appears to be little doubt, nevertheles, t hat the heredite will be abolished. The cholera is rapidly subsiding in Hungary, and at Vienna it was not increasing. CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES.-Oct. 5. At half-past two o'clock, :M. Girod de l'Ain, the President, took the Chair, when the Chamber resumed the preparatory dis cussion of the project of law for the re-organization of the Peerage. M. Etienne, the first orator heard, spoke against the heredi. tary principle of that institution.

BRUSSELS, Our. 3.—The King set out this morning at six o'clock to visit the camp at Diest, which consists of at least 25,000 men. His Majesty will sleep at Louvain to-night, and re turn to Brussels to-morrow morning. The city of Antwerp has just been declared in a state of siege. This measure is said to have been founded on the fear of some movements with which the Government have been alarmed on the approach of the 10th. The military engineers are at this moment making an estimate of all the houses of the city opposite to the citadel, in order to dispose of them in case of an attack, and make use of them in defence of the city. The battery of artillery, commanded by Captain Pirson, set out yesterday for Malines. The order was so urgent that the Captain could not obtain a delay of twenty-four hours, which he thought necessary. The Journal d'Anvers says, the silence of our diplomacy and of the conference, the preparations for war and defence, and lastly the hostile language of all the journals, cause war to be considered inevitable at the expiration of the armistice. All appearances are in fact in favour of this opinion, and the more so as all the Journals speak of a protocol, threatening us with an attack from Prussia, Austria, and Russia. This objection does not alarm us; the existence of this pro tocol is a falsehood, and we are convinced that notwithstanding any diversity of opinions between the members of the con ferences on the French and Belgian questions, they are at least unanimous in their desire that these events may not disturb the peace of Europe. We are still persuaded that a speedy decision will prevent any efflision of blood, and enable us at length to complete our insti tutions, and repair the disasters of our commerce and ma nufactures. The formation of a foreign legion is suspended. The decree for its organization has been in the hands of the Kinefor these two days, but more pacific news is expected from London. The Prussian Government is going to issue an order to all young Prussians liable to serve in the army, who are in foreign countries, to return home immediately, because the whole army is going to be called out. HAMBURG PAPERS. POSEN, SEPr. 27.—The remainder of the Diet, hitherto as sembled • at Zacroczyn, and the Polish National Government formed there, have entirely dissolved themselves. The members have left Zacroczyn singly, and have dispersed. Prince Czarto ryski is said to be at Cracow. The remainder of the Polish army, about 14,000 men, is still in and about Modlin. The 4th Russian corps, under General Sarvoinin, arriving from Lithuania, is now approaching. It con sists of three divisions of infantry, one of hussars, and 72 pieces of cannon, and has already marched to Loumza, so that now the country to the north of Modlin is entirely occupied by the Rus sian troops. Accounts have been received here from Warsaw, dated the 23d, which informs us that the Emperor of Russia has been pleased to confer on Count Paskewitsch Erivanski, for the glo i rious termination of the Polish insurrection, and the taking of Warsaw, the rank of Prince, with the name of Warzauski. The negociations of General Berg,with the remains of the Polish army at Modlin, continue, but do not seem to lead to any result,in con sequence of the temper of some of the traders. The Polish army has began to move towards Plozk, but it is not thought it will com ply with the conditions prescribed by the Russians, forwhichpur pose it is followed and observed by a powerful Russian force of 60 battalions,:94 squadrons, and 200 pieces of cannon. (From the Prussian State Gazette.) FRONTIERS OF POLAND, Sim. 27.—News has been re ceived that Modlin is occupied by the Russian troops, and that the remainder of the Polish army that left Warsaw has advanced from Plozk, :along the right bank of the Vistula, towards the Prussian frontiers. Colonel Van Romre hearing that the Poles had crossed the Vistula near Plozk, proceeded from Krasnowiec in that direc tion, but soon learnt that 2,000 Poles who had crossed to the left bank, had returned to Plozk and had began to break down the bridge over the Vistula. The Colonel remains at Krasnowiec with his detachment, to observe any further movements th*t the Polish troops might make on the left bank. DUTCH PAPERS. BOIS.LE-DUC, OCT. 2.—We understand that the men absent on furlough are expected back on the Bth instant. It is affirmed that our troops are in some measure drawing nearer together. It seems to be more difficult than it has been to obtain direct news from Belgium, on account of the position of the troops. It is thought that the Belgians are raising fortifications in the pro vince of Liege and Kempen, on the side of the Denier, and on that account are very vigilant: THE HAGUE, SEPT. 30.—Nothing certain is known respect ing the closing of the Session of the States-General, but it is be lieved that it will be closed on Saturday, the 15th instant. VIENNA, SEPT. 25.—From the 23d to the 24th the number of new cases of cholera was 65, recoveries 71, deaths only 19 ; there remained 448. The whole number of cases from the be ginning has been 1,039 ; 386 deaths, and 205 recoveries.

RIO DE JANEIRO, JULY 26.—The Ministry of the Regency has addressed to the representatives of the nation an exposition of the principle on which it means to act : The Ministers, convinced of the great importance of unity in the Government, have resolved to concert together not only their plans, but the means of carrying them into effect. Their under standing of the memorable revolution which has just taken place is, that there was no intention to resist the constitutional institution and change the dynasty, or to consecrate violence and proclaim anarchy, but that the nation merely used the indis putable right of resisting oppression, and desired to popularise the Monarchy, by removing from it the errors and abuses which had made it a burden to the people, in order to reconcile it with the principles of true liberty. "The Government, therefore, will firmly oppose violence and sedition, and will cause the laws to be strictly enforced; and should they be found insufficient will have recourse to the Ge neral Assembly for the enactment of the necessary measures. The attention of the Government will be directed to the public offices, in order to remedy all abuses, and prevent all neglect. The prosperity of the empire will he confirmed by the suppres sion of factions, and the consolidation of confidence. The real wants of the nation shall be plainly stated, that is to say, what is required for its preservation and its dignity, not that capricious expenditure which has absorbed the public wealth, and brought the nation to the brink of an abyss, from which it has been saved by the pats iotissn of its representatives, the fidelity of its Go vernment, and the co-operation of all good Brazilians. The Government will devote the most anxious attention to the finances, to public education, and to commerce. The li berty of the Press will be protected, and its licentiousness restrained. With respect to its foreign relations, the rights of other nations sh a ll be most scrupulously regarded, and diplo matic agents worthy of Brazil shall represent it whenever it may be necessary ; non-interference in the affairs of other States, and peace with both worlds, is the wish of th e Mi n i s t ry , but it will never purchase peace at the expense of the national dignity and honour. The art of war being one which in the present state of the world requires talents and daily practice, th e Go vernment will take care that the army and navy shall receive the instructions which is necessary to enable them to assert the honour of the nation abroad, and to maintain tranquillity and subordination at home, inaccessible to the criminal sug gestions of rebellion and faction." This document is dated the Md, and signed by all the Ministers. The Rio Papers contain numerous articles, official and non official, respecting the disturbances on the 14th and 15th July. The city was tranquil. The packet from Bahia, which arrived on the Bth of August, after a voyage of eleven days, brought word that perfect tran quillity prevailed in the province of Rio Grande do Norte, Para hiba, Pernambuco, Alagoas, and Bahia, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 7, 1831. The Foreign Journals contain little or no news o interest, at a crisis like the present, when the atten tion of all classes is so exclusively engrossed by the Reform question in the House of Lords. After the presentation of an immense number of petitions from all parts of the country on the sub ject of Reform, the discussion of the Bill was resumed. Lords FALMOUTH and CARNARVON ex pressed themselves strongly opposed to it, though on what principle of common-sense, justice, or even expediency scarcely appear from the tenor of their Lordships' arguments. Lord PLUNKETT made a masterly speech in favour of the Bill, the convincing character of which was evidently feared by the Anti. Reformers, who accordingly interrupted the Noble Speaker as often as they possibly could. Lord WYNFORD rose i:nmediately the Noble and Learned Baron sat down, but as the House seemed strongly disposed to an adjournment, his Lordship deferred what he had to say till this evening, when it was agreed that the House should resume the discussion at five o'clock; and sit again to-morrow, at twelve, by which day it was understood the debate would terminate. In the House of Commons Lord AL THORP significantly alluded to the probability of a protracted Session. We have just perused in the latest published number of the Edinburgh Review an article on the House of Lards and the Reform Bill, which we cannot do better than recommend strongly to our readers' notice. The writer is no enthusiast, though a zealous advocate for the success of the great measure : he does not strive to inflame by intemperate declamation, but to convince by dia passionate reasoning. He looks at the question pro and eon; views it in all its lights and shadows, and after an attentive examination of the main argu ments adduced on either side, comes to the inevi table conclusion that Reform is a matter of impe rative necessity, for that without it there will be revolution. He then proceeds to point out, respect. fully, but energetically, to the Lords, the line of con duct that it becomes them to adopt at this eventful crisis. He proves to them that should they be even infatuated enough to oppose the Reform Bill, yet that the question will be carried in spite of them ; for that, in the event of the Mini sters' resignation, no one would be found wil ling or competent enough to supply their place. They will, therefoie, have lost the fitting op portunity of strengthening themselves in the affec tions of the people; while their concession, when they do, as they must, yield, will secure them no gratitude from the people, inasmuch as it was wrung from them by necessity, not proffered by them as an act of willing courtesy. The writer winds up his remarks by an appeal to the Episcopal Bench, and as the language of his address is not less impres sive than appropriate, we shall give it in his own words : " But if there be any part of that House more than an the rest intere,ted in the event we anticipate, it is the representatives of the Church established by law. If the Bill is lost, and if it does not most clearly appear to have met its fate without the aid of the Bishops, that Church may continue to be established by law,—in the hearts of the people it will no longer find either sta. bility or even tolerance. Public opinion may be right, or it may be wrong; but that it is at this time far less favourable to the Anglican Church than it ever was since the grand rebellion, which swept away both the mitre and the Crown, is a fact not to be denied. The course pursued by certain of the Prelates, is a proof they deem their House in some jeopardy. They are busy_ ing themselves with -Church Reform ; two or three Bills are already in Parliament introduced by their hands ; and an inquiry gaiiaisitontehecaLon pre vent into the amount of ecclesiastical revenues and emoluments is carrying on under their auspices, with the avowed intention of pursuing means for their restriction and equalization. Is this a season when any thing short of insanity could lead these Right o sh f a t r h e e o f Church the c t e h m u dPe: Church e t : II .w e Reverend Fathers to commit themselves in a struggle with the whole body of the people ? Public indignation might be turned and in the very H in o t u h s e e b u it n te e r ra d ll i y sa ; ppo bu r t t h m e e co nt n o d f ua th o ei f r o h e o hop es Prelates a first instance, from being poured upon the compartment of the From expct their uch wise regard for the best interests of that conduct as will effectually throw the blame, should blame be in.. m ve a n n t s a io v n e w ry h d er s e r t;F rt a i° th n e a rs te curred by the Peers at large, away from the Bishops' bench." At half-past one o'clock this day a Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign-office, in Downing.. street, at which were the LORD CHANCELLOR, Earl GREY, the Marquis of LANSDOWNB, the Earl of CARLISLE, Lord PALMERSTON, the Duke of RICH MOND, Lord ALTHORP, Lord MELBOURNE, Lord GODERICII, Sir JAMES GRAHAM, the Right Hon. CHARLES GRANT, Lord JOHN RUSSELL, and Mr. STANLEY. The Ministers were in deliberation when our Paper went to press. Despatch es were rece ived this morning at the Foreign-offic e from Paris. Despatches were received from Gibraltar at the Colonial.office. l'O 2'11.V Z1)11'01? OP THE SUN. R,—Tbe Reformers have been apparently defeated in Forfarshire, by a majority of two bad votes. It is only an apparent defeat. The enemy, however, will take the utmost advantage of it, and a coloured report of the pro ceedings will probably appear in some of the Edinburgh Papers of to-morrow. Out of six Newspapers published in this district, the Anti-Reformers have not a single organ on which they can rely. _ _ My object in addressing you is to prevent you from being misled by the reports of the Edinburgh Rapers. More correct reports will be found in the local Newspapers of this district, and the Dundee Advertiser in particu lar, which is published on Thursday first, the 6th inst. Dundee, Oct. 4, 1831. A. B.

FLAVELL, No. 6, Trinity College, Dublin. HOUSE OF LORDS. So great has been the desire in the fashionable circles to hear the discussions upon the all-engrossing subject of Reform, that a very large space below tht bar of the House of Lords has been appropriated solely to Peeresses and other ladies of distinction, who are accommodated with seats. Indeed so great is the number of these ladies, and such their anxiety, that many are seen mixing in the dense crowd of the other sex, and some standing upon chairs to command a view of the whole House. The interest they take in the proceedings must be evident from their remaining in such a place for many hours each night, and in such an atmosphere, the thermometer varying from 80 to 90 degrees. The arrangements made for the accommodation of the public Press, are upon as liberal a scale as could, under existing circumstances, be expected, and it is a duty we feel, in com mon with our brethren, to offer our best acknowledgments to Mr. Putman, the Deputy Usher of the Black Rod, for affording such facilities. We regret, however, that we have been unable to receive all the benefit intended to be conferred upon us, in consequence of certain ladies being so anxious to obtain the best situations, as actually to thrust themselves amongst the reporters. In particular, one Noble Countess, who was on the first night introduced (probably without a due consi deration of the laborious duties the reporters have to perform) by a Noble Peer into the reporters' box, takes the same situation nightly. Two or three Peeresses have also mounted the railing surrounding the reporters'-box, and there sat for hours at a time. These are productive of inconveniences which we are confident the ladies do not intend to create; but they seriously interrupt the reporters' duties. En passant, during the debate on Wed nesday night, a Noble Peer in his speech quoted some expressions M of the late r. Canning; the Marchioness of Clanricarde, the beautiful and accomplished daughter of that Illustrious States man, who was among the bevy of Noble Ladies, the moment she heard that honoured name was observed to be deeply affected. THE BOROUGHMONGERS AT WORK IN THE CAMP. SCOTS BILL. (From a Correspondent of the Morning Chronicle.) Rumours have been afloat for some time that it would be at tempted, among the details and verbiage of the Scots Bill, to con ceal the real nature of the measure from the country, and till the Bill should come into operation for the first time the mask should not be taken off. Then, and then only, the country would see, with surprise and disappointment, that the prin ciples of the English Bill had not been extended to Scotland ; and, consequently, a great proportion of the population, chiefly of the most sober and industrious, would be found to want the votes in the election of their representatives, and that, too, for no other reason than that they lived to the north of the Tweed, and had been duped out of that share in the representation which they confidently expected to enjoy. Perhaps the Learned Lord, who, by law, forms the whole Privy Council of Scotland, has been disabled by his numerous vocations from applying his critical talents to the review of the details of what was considered his own Bill, but left such a trifle, as beneath his notice, to some Tory or boroughmonger ofthe old school, who, to suit the times, is so well disguised among the garments of Reform, as to have rendered his nature invisible to his Lordship, or his political friends, without the aid of spec— tacles, or some other optical instrument, to show such minute objects as may injure the action of the functions of political life in Scotland. In the English Bill it will be easily seen, without such aid, by those who are not wilfully blind, that no kind of English pro- perty in lands or houses, worth 101. a year, whether it lies within or without the limits of a city, town, or burgh, is to want its voice in choosing its representative. The 101. tenants in cities, towns, and boroughs, and, also, all owners occupying to the ex tent of 101., are to have votes for the Member of such city, town, or borough. And every owner within the limits of all cities, towns, or boroughs, whether freehold, copyhold, or burgage hold, are also to have votes for the County Member, unless by reason of the occupation thereof he or any other person might acquire a right to vote in the election of a Member or Members for any city or borough." See English Bill, and sec. 18 thereof, &c. In the Scots Bill, 26th of September, sec. 28; it is proposed to exclude all the last class from voting, so that a great proportion of the property of towns in Scotland, having 101. qualifications, Will not be represented. In manufacturing towns, such properties may be estimated at nearly, or perhaps more than one-half. It is unnecessary to give another swatch (although several others nearly as bad could be given) of this extraordinary Bill. Suffice it to say, that these, as well as all the other differences between the two Bills, indicate a great disposition to limit the franchise in Scotland. Lord Althorp and Lord John Russell, and the independent Members in the House of Commons, would do well to look a little after this Scots business, which, it is to be feared, they are delegating to others, or too careless about. They need not be over fastidious about giving or withholding from Scotsmen what they are giving or continuing to England, if such gifts enlarge the franchise. As the Scots Bill cannot be the work of a real Reformer, the garments should be lifted up that cover the man, whoever he may be, that has manufactured it, or adjusted its clauses; and it will, perhaps, be found, like the Patriarch of old, that the hands are the hands of Esau, but the voice is the voice of Jacob. HINTS TO ANTI-REFORMERS. (From the Morning Chronicle.) If the Anti-Reformers will not yield to reason, perhaps the following plain facts may startle them. We class them under the two heads of certain and probable consequences of a rejection of Reform. The certain consequences will be 1. A prolonged agitation of this dangerous question for at least six or eight months more. 2. A considerable interruption of important Parliamentary business for that time. 3. A state of weakness with regard to our foreign relations. 4. A stagnation of the retail, moneyed, commercial, and ma.. nufacturing interests. 5. The continued public discussion of fundamental principles of Government by opposite classes in a state of angry excitement. 6. A collision at such a moment of the two Houses of Par. liament. None will deny the certainty of the occurrence of such conse quences ; let our Bishops calculate their final results ; And then take the probable consequences. 1. A partial or general refusal to pay taxes or tithes. 2. A run upon the country banks, the Savings' Banks, the Bank of England, and thence upon national credit. 3. A panic. 4. Turnings out of trades—political associations—federalism— resistance. 5. General distress, dissatisfaction—Swing. 6. A published list of the Majority, with their places, pen sions, boroughs, and connections. 7. Hatred of Peerage —a large creation of Peers—depreciation of the Peerage. 8. The present Bill with compoundinterest. 9. A Reform Bill for the Lords. Let those who have sense and patriotism, and power, canvass these consequences; ask themselves whither they will tend—and then may the Lord direct their understandings.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. What we stated some days since in our city article, of the ar mistice between Holland and Belgium being renewed, we under stand is now confirmed by the arrival of a messenger from Hol land yesterday. We also understand that in a few days we shall hear of the treaty being signed. A letter from Valenciennes states that the French army on the frontiers has been reinforced by a division of infantry, under General Janin, and a brigade of cavalry. This new corps will augment the army of the North to 70,000 men. Charleston Papers have been received at the North and South Amencan Coffeehouse, to the Sth of September. The only no velty in them is a frechet, which has been most destructive to the rice crops, and caused a loss of a million and a half of dollars. A Brazil A Mail has arrived, and brings private letters of the 9th of August. All was quiet there. Exchange on England 2,41 i. The Government is gaining strength. The express from Paris this morning is of minor importance to our debates on the Reform Bill in the House of Lords, which, it is expected, will be finished in the course of to-morrow, and it is positively asserted that the present Ministers are determined to maintain their situations, unless they have an overwhelming majority against them, which is not expected. The public anxiety continues to the highest pitch for the fate of the Bill. THE FUNDS Consols, which left off yesterday at 80% to 81, opened at the same price, and continue so at present, with nothing doing. The Foreign Market is not worth noticing. HALF-PAST ONE. All the private letters we have seen from Rio Janeiro this morning are very favourable, and the new Government there are acting on the moat honourable principles • they are preparing to send off immediately a large quantity of diamonds, specie, &c. to meet the payment of the Brazilian dividends. Up to the present hour there has not been the least spirit in the Market. The lowest price of Consols has been 80% 81, and the highest 81, at which price they are at present, with nothing doing. The report is that the majority last night against Ministers in the House of Lords was 31 against the Bill. In the Foreign Market Brazil Stock has improveed. The accounts from the Brazil Imperial Mines are 18 working days, at 13 pounds of gold each day. THREE 0' CL 0 CK. Consols, 81 . FOUR 0 CLOCK.—CLOSING PRICES.
