Pros that every Ministerial speech reported in yesterday's Times is shorter than the speeches of the Members of the Opposition; and as to the particular speech of Sir Ho. 'nett Peel, it is given at nearly twice the length of the address of the Lord Advocate, who preceded, and .of Lord Palmerston, who followed the Right Hon. Baronet. So much for the specific charge. As to the more general and vague accusation of " infamous" ap plied to the Press, if the Member for Harwich means to apply it to the conductors of this paper, we fling it back upon him with scorn. We are as incapable of a dis honourable or " infamous" action as Mr. Dawson or any cif his friends or relatives. We are compelled, by want of room, to defer the insertion of some remarks which we had prepared en the debate following the introduction of the Irish Reform Bill. We must, for the same reason, be now content with a mere reference to the discussion last night on the Civil List, making only one observation, which is, tkat it appears to us to be a strange sort of loyalty to :attempt to force upon the Sovereign that which he has himself declined to accept. The true spirit of loyalty would be to assume that the King is the best in4e of what befits his awn dignity, and the dignityef his Royal Consort. Any conduct founded on a cntrary assumption is an implied, if not a direct imputation, both against the understanding and sincerity of hitn whom it is preterried to serve.— Times. We -refer our readers to the debet 'in th e H ouse of Lords for the conduct of a certain rreiate.• The transac tioss of this person have been no often before Parliament and the country, that we. 'are almost sick of rt.-ratting them, or obtruding t!setta on observation. At ) ))3 , sup porting, he ruined at tvrtain interest in tt County of Cam bridge, so, by his practices in thc Aurch, h e h as d one more to upset that venerable ttablishment than all other evils, real or irnagmAry, of oppressed Curs,' and non-resident incumbents, We think, in ret!ation to the matter now before the House, that though Lord Brougham might not be to blame, Lord Eldon ttertainly was, for as -bisting the knave in his sordid fitsolects of nepotism and fa mily aggrandisement. If isle Bishop become doting., is there not some process vi appointing a Vicar.etetteral for the administratio n of his diocese? If he posAtsses his fa culties, he ought to be brought to the /ta' of the House of Lords for the mal-adininistration of bin diocese. The last presentation is the more irrenrdial,le, because it has bee's made by the Chancellor, tiad it been made by the Bishop, the pari , ,hioners might have refused tithes (and so brought the validity of the presentation to the test), on account of the incompetent state of mind of the Bishop to perform ecclesinstical functions. In any case we holyb some ground will be started for ejecting the present taver loaded. incumbent. —Thies. Sir Robert Pee 4 is reported to have said on Thursday night, " As to the argument he had used being against all Reform, he should not enter on that question, but he re peated that, seeing the differences of opinion between that House and the late Ministers on the subject of deform (for though they were turned out on the Civil set, he be lieved there would have been an expression of opinion which would have made it very difficult for them to have earried on the Government), as the new Minist_m were formed on the principle o f some Reform, he (5iS nobert Peel) was prepared, as an individual, to tea t ie a compro mise on that subject, sod to support s. Measure of mode rate Reform if such had been inttoduced." Sir Edward Sugden boasted that he had, in the coincidence of the num ber of boroughs wholly disfranchised with the reduced number of the House of Commons, discovered a key to the Bill of Reform. We, without pretending to the acuteness of the late Solicitor-General, i'Saagine that the explanatory declaration just quested will fur nish a clue to the conduct of the late Mini sters in so suddenly resigning, en their not inducing the House el Commons to proceed at once to a consitletatinn of the Civil List, without a previous rererence of the estimates to a Committee. Had the late Ministers &en remarkable for tenacity of purpeees-shad they showed themselves habitually and obstinately unchangeable—their defeat on the Civil List might indeed have accounted for their resignation ; but we have now the postscript, and proverbially the mast important part, of the letter. Sir Robert" believes that there would have been an expression on the subject of Reform which would have made it very difficult for them to have carried on the Government"— From what quarter was this expression to have come? From a quarter that would have deserved the attention of the King and his Ministers, or from the Marquis of London sherry's " lowest freeholders, or lowest rabble, in the county Down,"and the " scribbling sehoeltroys of the High School,' so facetiously said by Sir George Clerk to be the signers of the Edinburgh petition ? The phrase " carry on the Government" is generally supposed to mean carry it on in the Houses of Parliament. Then Sir Robert Peel did believe that there would bore been an expression of opinion in the House of Commons about Reform which would leave been directly opposed to that of the let? Mi nisters. So then Sir Robert Peel, by his belief, relieves the present Ministers from the drew:ln:l responsibility of having agitated a great national question, which would otherwise have remained it statu quo ; and further, lie admits thtt, in bringing it forward, they have only taken into the hands of Government the production and manage ment of a question that would have been forced upon them, or any other men holding their situations. Sir Robert Peel's belief is well founded ; the conduct of him self and his colleagues respecting East Retford had con vinced every man of sense in the country that there was Lars disposition to use occasions, as they might arise, for eserrecting the abuses of the representative system, and, therefore, that the main question of Parliamentary Reform must at once be brought to issue. Sir Robert Peel did tret choose either to deal with the question executively, by bringing forward a plan of very limited Reform, or to incur the responsibility of opposing the measure that would un. questionably have been introduced by the present Lord Chancellor. Lord Grey was the only man who could have formed a new Government, and therefore Sir Robert Peel had a perfect security that, as the opinion from which the late Ministers fled was in accordance with the long cherished sentiments of that Noble Lord, no delay would be allowed to intervene in preparing some plan of Reform. Sir Robert Peel was thus enabled to act will personal caution, without compromising the tranquillity of the country by an absolute resistance on the part of Ministers to the public wishes, within and without Parliament, on thin vital question, Lord Bacon, in his " Essay on Cun ning," says—" And because these cunning men are like haberdashers of small wares, it is not amiss to set forth their shop." Sir Robert Peel is now, as an individual, ready to make a compromise, and support a measure of " moderate Reform." Why, really, we cerinot help again quoting Lord Bacon, and say, " If a 'man would cross a business that he doubts some other would handsomely and effectually move, let him pretend to wish it well, and move it himself in such a sort as may foil it." We hope that, after this declaration from Sir Robert Peel, we shall not hear again of the dreadful re aponsibility incurred by the present Ministers for having agitated the question of Reform. Sir Robert Peel has said (and who says any thing, better than Sir Robert Peel ?) that not only the question of Reform had been agitated, but that an opinion was about to be expressed which would have made it very difficult for anti-Reform Ministers to carry on the Government. He and his col leagues must have considered that difficulty insuperable, for they resigned. Now, the conclusion to which we arrive from these premises is, that the late Ministers ought to he less vehement in their opposition to the plan of Re form now before Parliament ; and we even go further, for we think that they were bound, as honest men, to have in their places expressed their thanks to their suc cessors for attempting to do that which they knew to be inevitable and indispensable (otherwise they would not save resigned), but which they had not political courage or patriotism enough to undertake.—Morning Herald. Though it is not possible, nor worth while even if it were possible, to refute all the petty calumnies and absurd misrepresentations which daily appear in the Ministerial Journals against the friends of the late Government, we cannot allow to pass without notice a paragraph which appeared in the Courier of Thursday, copied from the Brighton Gazette. It is asserted in the paragraph to which ace allude, that on the ballot for the Forfar Election Committee on Tuesday last, those Members of the Oppo sition who had served before on the Election Committees, waived their excuses, and answered to their names, with the " disgraceful motive" of unduly influencing the deci sion of the Committee, and turning mit of Parliament " so important a personage as the Lord Advocate of Scot land." A list of names is then given, which is in itself the best refutation of the " unprincipled and dis honourable factiousness" which is imputed to them. Had the writer of this paragraph been as adroit as he is malignant, he would not have given the names of men whose characters at once affix the brand of falsehood on his charges. It is not tru e t h at in answering to their name s these gentlemen departed from a course " which precedent and custom had rendered sacred." On the con trary, it is a common practice for Members to serve more than once on Election Committees. There are forty or fifty Members now in the House who have actually served twice this Session, and some of them three times. On referring to the list of the thirty-three Members drawn to serve on this very Committee, we find that of the 'amber there were six strenuo us adherents of the present Ministry , wh o had served before on Eke on Committees : these were, Mr. W. 13. Baring, Mr. Al derman:Wood, Mr: Wt, F. Campbell, Hon. H. Tufton, Hon. William Ponsonby, and Mr. Edward W. Pendarves. We leave the public to judge from this list, whether, if any argument at all is to be drawn from this case, if it does not appear that awe was as much disposition on ono side to procure a Committee favourable to the Lord Advocate, as on the other to procure one unfavourable. But why were not those gentlemen, who are so shamefully attacked, struck off the list by the nominee of the Learned Lord ? The reason is sufficiently obvious the Learned Lord knew well, he had personal and professional knowledge of the fact, that his election seat altogether illegal—that the case was the rottenest possible, and must be decided against him by any o:9nmittee. These gentlemen were therefore left on the Committee, that the odium of turning the Learned Lord out of Parliament might be upon them, and not upon the badness of the cause, and that a handle ?night he given for the scandalous calumny which we are now re futing. —Morning Post•. The Whits may well exclaim, as a certain General in an , ,i2tt times—" Such another victory will be our ruin." The numbers which have sWelted their list are in fact composed of renegacPs and cowards, as heartily ashamed of their net., 'cause as all genuine Reformers are of them. hLie neuters, in their double way of steeling, Are neither fish nor flesh, nor goed red herring— A twilight monster, tree , o neither cause, With Tory wines att'cl 'Whiggish teeth and claws. Wings, that is, to fly away from old professions; and claws, to s'itatch the good things of office when they can get tr!tern. Let not such men, however, lay to their souls he flattering unction, that a vote, of tt•liich their con sciences disapprove, will propitiate the public. The Re forming Whigs. who wct upon decided principles, may be respected at the same time that we denounce them as open encrrl_es ; 'but the shuffling time•serving Tory Reformer, t'vho speaks one way and votes anotlitr—who raises his parricidal hand against the system which has nurtured him—the man who pranises and dares not perform, and who is bold_ on.!'y to betray— Hic iiiger est, fiunc to Romane caveto. We I.) not wish to be too personal in our observations. Degrees of moral guilt in all those who more or less come under this head there undot/itedly are. Some may be young and silly, sod Others old and childish; and the hearts of withy have as it were been hardened against every thing but a sense of private interest. Still, on the s 'A are some names once honoured and esteemed; and we might in silence content ourselves with pitying their de gradation, unless we felt that, on a great occasion like the present, private sentiments must give way to a sense of public 'duty. If to their fine feelings the praise of the .ifttnes and Chronicle he acceptable. they are most wel come to it ; hut they know full well the value of such praise. Ind if the good opinion of the multitude be momentarily theirs, they know how fleeting is all mob popularity--tlsey know, and unless they be lost to all sense or thame, they must feel—bitterly, deeply feel— how low they have sunk in the estimation of the country's true ft iends—how much they have sacrificed fur the cheers of radicals, Papists, and demagogues. —Morning Post. We request attention to a statement of the Lord Chan cellet, respecting the mode of disposing of church patron age in the diocese of Ely. In the particular case com plained of the sin of yielding to the unconscionable ra pacity of the Bishep of Ely is imputable to Lord Eldon, who troubled himself, it seems, less with the welfare of future than with that of present Bishops. " The Crown (said the Lord Chancellor) would have the three er four nett turns at the expence of future Bishops of Ely. He, IroweVer, was clear of blame ; but he could not help sespect ing that a person snaking these repeated applications at the expence of his successors, was not in a sufficient state of health and soundness of mind to enable him with proper discrimination to dispose of church livings and prebends, and that he was surrounded by per sons who abused his patronaee." On turning to the Extraordinary Black Book, we find that the Bishop's care for his family is a disease of some standing. .‘ We shall (p. ‘.....2) give an instance of the manner of sharing the loaves and fishes of the church among particular families, from the example of Sparke, the present Bishop of Ely, who owed his promotion to the circumstance of having been tutor to the Duke of Rutland.

Morning Chronicle. On the motion last night, of the order of the day, for the House going into a Committee of Supply, Sir Robert Pecl called the attention of the Noble Lord (Althorp) to a motion of detail connected with the Reform Bill, which he conceived to be a matter of considerable importance. He would assume that the principle of the Bill was correct— that it was expedient to disfranchise sixty boroughs; to deprive forty-seven of one representative and to transfer the franchise to populous places; but in the disfranchising and giving the franchise, an uniformity of principle ought to be the rule. He instanced some of the places disfran chised, and allowed to return representatives ; and observed that the former' would not be disfranchised, if the popula tion el the parish in which the borough was situated were taken, and the latter would he disfranchised if the population of the borough, and not of the parish, were taken. "He did not (lie said) believe that the Government would re sist, as had been said, any alteration in the Bill, which, like those he had hinted at, seemed to be required by' justice." Lord Althorp said, the Government never meant to do any thing unjust, such as that alluded to by the Right Hon. Gentleman ; and where any such case was male out, the Government would not object to at tend to the suggestion. Lord John Russell admitted " that there were some doubts as to the population of cer• tain boroughs, and Malmesbury was one, and Buckingham was another ; and there were about six in all. Having admitted that, be could assure the Hon. Gentleman that he had too much respect for the decision of the House of Commons, which had permitted the second reading of the Bill, not to make his stand upon that ground, and endea vour to carry the Bill to a successful and triumphant con clusion.—(Hear, hear.)" That Ministers will stand on the principle of the Bill, that is the total and partial dis franchisement of the small boroughs, and the transference of the franchise to counties and populous towns, may he considered as fixed. The knowledge of their determina tion, and the popularity of the measure among all classes of the people, is gradually producing its effects among the opponents of the Bill. They are becoming more and more convinced of the hopelessness of the opposition, and of the inutility of all attempts to defeat the measure in a Committee, while Ministers have the whole country at their back, and by a dissolution could carry the Bill by triumphant majorities. It ha! been accordingly signified by several of those who opposed the second reading, that they no longer wish to continue an unavailing opposition, which would only put Members needlessly to the expense of an election to do what might as well be done by the present Parliament. Accordingly we find that Ministers are now satisfied that the accession of strength will render a disso lution unnecessary. Should there be any relapse, Minis ters have always the remedy in their own hands. But as the opponents of the Bill, are to speak familiarly, in a cleft stick, they will hardly think of giving a vote which would sentence them to dissolution. Every thing now, therefore, wears a favourable appearance. The present House will prove tractable, that its existence may now not be brought to a premature close. We are glad to hear that a wise determination like this has been taken in time by many of the opponents of the Bill, for a prolongation of the period of excitement would only expose them to the charge of wantonly and mischievously sacrificing the well being of the country—not to their interest, for that would he intelligible—but to their stupid and aimless obstinacy. —Morning Chronicle. Nothing could exceed the enthusiasm yesterday at the meeting of the Merchants, Bankers, tcc., of the city of London, in the Egyptian-hall. There are many corrupt interests in London, and we are not astonished that an address hostile to Reform should obtain signatures in it. It was in London that the system of jobbing boroughs was first organised ; it is in London that the East and West India interests, and the possessors of great monopolies hostile to the interest of the people, chiefly reside ; and we need not remark, that the disfranchisement of the venal boroughs will impose some difficulties in the way of those who have interests diametrically at variance with those of the people. Mr. John Smith alluded to the statement by Burke, that the Nabob of Arcot had six Members in the House. The small boroughs were a thrashing-floor, on which all men might thrash their corn. London being, therefore, the head-quarters of corruption, of all the interests hostile to the people, must contain many individuals who dread the lopping off of the rotten boroughs. A candidate of a respectable place cannot well proclaim—if you return me, I will endeavour to make you pay millions every year for timber, that I may have larger freights than I should otherwise have ; it will be neces sary for him to pledge himself to suffer no partial interests to thrive at the expence of the people of England. In short, every mere muckworm who cares nothing for his country, or the good of 'his fellow-citizens, but is absorbed in self, will unquestionably find it more difficult than before to obtain a seat ; and men who dislike the expense of keep. ing up a character, and are insensible to the luxury of feelings of benevolence, naturally dislike Parliamentary Re form. A banker, like Mr. John Smith, requires no rotten boroughs for his protection ; wherever there are English hearts he will speak a language intelligible to them. The character of individuals will be in general found the key to their opinions respecting Reform. But, thank God, the abetters of corruption are but a small minority even in London. The feeling of a meeting, attended by many individuals of high rank in the commercial world, ex pressed with an enthusiasm not to be mistaken, bore testi mony to the universality of the wish for the Ministerial plan of Reform in this great metropolis. The men who subscribed the Address hostile to Reform, are but the ex ception to the rule. Yesterday was, indeed, a great tri umph for Ministers. It proved to demonstration that the last hope of the corruptionists is as futile as their other hopes—that the East India Directors, and East India pro prietors are, after all, but a small portion of the.commer cial world of the metropolis, and, with all their influence, unable to counteract the general feeling of joy at the Re• form—that, in short, Ministers have the hearts of the Londoners with them as they have the hearts of the rest of the people of the empire. It has been said of the Duke of Wellington that he saved Europe, and afterwards saved this country by the glorious mea sure of Catholic Emancipation. We must now , add to his merits, the share he has had in putting an end to bo roughnsongering. Ilad the Duke of Wellington, instead of outraging the feelings of the nation by his eulogy of what Burke termed the shameful parts of the Constitu• tion, consented to a bit-and-bit Reform, he would pro bably have still been in power, and boroughmongering might have flourished for many years. But his refusal of all Reform, and unblushing eulogy of corruption, threw the reins of Government into the hands of men whose character and reputation would not allow them either to refuse Reform, or to delude the people with an illusory Reform, and who, supported by a patriotic King, have pledged themselves to stand or fall with the measure which has been so enthusiastically hailed by the nation. The Duke of Wellington is therefore the greatest enemy the boroughmongers ever had. He has given them their coup de grace. Where were the numerous hit-and-bit Reformers when the Duke was thus cutting the ground from under them ?—/Iforning Chronicle. DIVISION ON THE REFORM BILL. SCHEDULE (13.)-BOROUGHS TO LOSE ONE MEMBER.

DISAGREEABLE PEOPLE!—The Court Jour nal of Saturday, March 26th, will contain (by means of an EXTRA HALF SHEET, which will be presented GRATIS) an unprecedented variety of matter connected with Fashion, High Life, and London Society. Among the Original Papers will be found two of uncommon interest ; o ne on the privilege of being disagreeable,—with a list of all the persons who enjoy and exercise that privilege ; the other offering a humorous contrast between the Old School of Fashion and the New School. The same Number will contain a Prologue for the Amateur Performance of the Honey Moon ; the principal COURT DRESSES of the DeAwitvo Room on Thursday; Alphabetical Lists of the Presentations; a description of the Ktlto's Grand Dinner to the Hanoverian Knights, with a List of the Company, &c. &c. The arguments used by the Anti-Reforni ers are really the most contradictory ever employed by human beings. One says, the Bill will strengthen the landed aris tocracy, and destroy the monied and commercial interests in Parliament: another says that it will throw all power into the hands of moneyed men and destroy the landed in terest. A third party assert that it will take away all po litical power from the poor, and transfer it to the rich ; while a forth maintain the converse of this proposition, and insist that it will take all power from the rich, and place it in the hands of the poor. Now, in our humble opinion, nothing can be a greater proof of the gene ral excellency of the measnre than these preposterously contradictory arguments against it.

While we avow—openly and unequivocally avow —our bitter, resolute, and inextinguishable hostility to the boroughraongers; to that corrupt fraternity who are inimical to the State, unknown to the Con stitution, and repudiated by the people ; who thrive only on corruption, who exist only on sufferance, whose only argument is power, whose only support is the ignorance of the community ; while we avow our hatred of this precious squad, and are anxious to see justice done to them ; equally anxious are we to avow our admira tion of, and to see justice done to, those lofty minded patriots who have nobly come forward in the hour of trial, and without a sigh of regret, without a murmur of hesitation, without a hope of recompense, offered up their borough interests on the altar of their country. These are sacrifices not to be mistaken, not to be passed by with indiffe rence, not to be " washed in Lethe and forgotten." And who are they that have thus nobly acted ? We will tell our countrymen, that they may feel their hearts leap with exultation to think that such men are living among them. The Dukes of NORFOLK— Of DEVONSHIRE—Of GRAFTON—Of PORTLAND— Of BEDFORD ; the Marquis of CLEVELAND; Earls FITZWLLLIAM and WINCIIILSEA ; Mr. J. RUSSELL, Sir SANDFORD GRAHAM, and Mr. J. SMITH, to gether with a few others, whose names do not at present occur to us, but who never theless shall not be forgotten—these are the men who, when their country demanded of them a sacrifice, obeyed without a word, and even exulted in the opportunity of proving their disinterestedness ! What a contrast does such con duct present to the grasping—clamorous—pecula- ting charac er of the boroughmongers ! And shall such patriots go without reward ? Forbid it justice ! Forbid it every principle of gratitude! To those among this illustrious band who are already as high in rank as they can ever hope to be, nothing can be offered but the most heartfelt thanks of their countrymen ; but to those who have yet to attain the honours of the Peerage—to Mr. Rus- SELL, and Sir SANDFORD GRAHAM, and Mr. SMITH, we would recommend that the Government, in ttni son with the people, should hasten to pay its just debt. Three nobler-spirited men never yet graced a coronet; three more popular ones never yet took their fitting station in the House of Lords. We hope they may shortly meet with their deserts. The Aristocracy %NHL be a gainer by the elevation of such men to the Patrician Order. The great Reform meetings of London and the county of Derby—both which will be found in an other column—•are a triumphant answer to those svho have still the superhuman impudence to assert that the question of Reform is not uni versally popular. The City meeting in particular is a proof " strong as holy writ," that all who are gifted with the slightest portion of reflection in this vast metropolis—all who are disinterested—all who really wish well to their country, and have no paltry views of their own to promote, are leagued to a man in the cause of Reform. As for the much vaunted " Hole and Corner Meeting," which was held a few days since somewhere in the East, between Ludgate-hill and Shoreditch—that was altogether a job—altogether a matter of private interest and party spirit, got up solely to answer the purpose of a desperate knot of prejudiced individuals, who op posed Reform, not on the ground of its danger to the institutions of the country, but simply and sel fishly because it interfered with their own merce nary monopoly. In considering the probabilities of the stability of the Administration of M. CASIMIR PERRIER, it is impossible to deny on the one hand that his politi cal professions are characterised by a cautious pru dence which in Paris is a quality both rare and valuable, and, on the other, that public opinion in France, as especially manifested through the journals, is, so far as can be at present judged, decidedly hostile to the new Ministry. Whether this hostility be greater than the Ministers deserve, is a question we cannot here take upon ourselves to determine; but when we see the name of LA FAYETTE arrayed in the ranks of opposition, we h ave great difficulty in coming to a conclusion favourable to the permanency of M. CASIMIR PER RIER'S power. The interference of France on behalf of Italy is warmly urged by LAFAYETTE, and is desired by the mass of the French nation, whilst the Ministry refuses to interpose. Now it is no easy matter to decide what is the sound policy of France in this respect ; for, although there is much weight in what fell from the Premier as to the maintenance of non intervention, it is, we apprehend, the decided interest of France in reference to her future freedom and happiness to weaken the arms of Russia and Austria, those declared foes of the liberties of Europe—those ultra-Tories and anti-Reformers of :the Continent. The principle of non-intervention is by no means an absolute one, for, if it were, the Greek treaty could not be justified ; but should rather be regarded as a fixed line which ought not to be passed, unless it appears that the good likely to arise by transgressing it would counterba lance the evil. Now, in reference to this position, it will not, we suppose, be denied that the evil of the presence of the Russians and Austrians in the Western States of Europe is a fearful one eren to the present generation, and would be still more tremendous to posterity. It is sufficiently gal ling, and sufficiently obnoxious to civilization, that the classic soil of Italy should be occupied by a German race against whom the Italians are now rising in arms, and of this, we can only remark, that the contest is a national one, just as much as that which has been so happily set at rest between the Greeks and Turks, and that the Greek treaty is not wholly inapplicable as a precedent in this in stance. But of this we are sure, that if there be any grounds for believing the intention of Russia to have been to make this very year a campaign on the Rhine, (and, who can doubt the evidence cited by LAFAYETTE ?) it would be a very insufficient secu rity for France if she were merely to remain on the defensive As a passive spectator of the march of the barbarians. The most remote contingency of the invasion of Belgium by the Russians or Prussians wholly alters the policy, as well as the duty, ef France in regard to succouring the Italians. It is therefore, to say the least, by no means clear that the line of policy professed by M. CASIMIR PERRIER, is the one best calculated to promote the permanent interest of the French nation, to say nothing of the other States whose liberties are so closely inter woven with those of France. To the French we say, as we have said so often to the Belgians, do not be intimidated by Protocols and Diplomatists into a belief that Great Britain will unite with the Continental despots in any as saults they may make upon your liberties. The people of England will not suffer the Government to go to war, on any ground short of some imme diate danger to Great Britain. Earl GREY'S Go vernment has openly declared itself to be earnestly desirous of preserving for this country the blessings of peace, and if (which God forbid) Mr. HORACE Twiss and Sir ROBERT PEEL were to return to office, it is certain, that a supply for war would be refused them. Great Britain should, therefore, be considered as a nation absolutely neutral in conti nental contests, and from whom no fears of inter position can reasonably be entertained. By the following accounts from Warsaw, though they come even through the distorting channel of Berlin, it will be seen that the cause of the Poles is daily becoming more encouraging. The news from Warsaw is to the 17th inclusive, at which period the weather—bad roads—insurrection—sickness—and mortality were all working against the Russians and in favour of the Poles : WARSAW, Mirror 15.—Our State Gazette gives among the official news a report from the District Commissioner at Zamcsc, tlom which iteppears that the Finland Regiment of Dragoons under General Bawer, had, on the 26th of February, taken the town of Janow, on the frontiers of Gallicia, and that the citizens had again taken the oathiof allegiance to the Emperor Nicholas. The local authorities had either concealed themselves or fled. The same paper says, that the inhabitants of the Waiwodeships of Plock and Cracow have voluntary offered to organize new regiments of cavalry. This paper gives also the following ac counts :—" Within these few days the frost has returned, there is a great deal of floating ice in the Vistula, and the military operations will therefore be in all probability interrupted for a week or two. Meantime prisoners continue to be brought in by our detachments. After the corps of General Dwernicki had left Pulawy and its neighbourhood, the Russians entered it on the Pth of this month. We hear front Radow, that the inha bitants, after Divine Service, on the 7th, took the oath to be faithful to the country and the nation, as prescribed by the Diet." - , . The Warsaw Gazcite gives the following particulars : " The Russians, on their retreat from their positions before I'raga, set fire to the village of Targowek, and to all the gabions and fascines which they had prepared for storming the tbr.. tress. The villages beyond Praga are entirely ruined. The bridge from NVarsaw to Pr/ga will probably not be removed, but out of precaution the troops that were sent to reconnoitre the Russian army have been recalled to the capital. It is reported that a corps of the enemy under General Witt, has again taken possession of the town of Pulawy. Princess Czartoriski has fled to Gallicia." The Warsaw Courier says,—" For these five days we have heard nothing of military operations. The enemy has withdrawn from before Praga and gone to Sienneca. Many of our wounded soldiers have already recovered and gone back to their regiments. The Military Tribunal continually passes sentences of death, not only on spies who have been taken during the present war, but also on other persons convicted of various crimes. In the night of the 12th, Major Osinski, Chief of the Staff, of General Dwernicki, arrived here with a report to the Gene ralissimo in Warsaw, but the contents of these official reports of the operations of that corps have not yet been made public. Some new cannon have already been cast at Warsaw. A very important proclamation to the inhabitants of this city will shortly be issued." The Polish Gazette says " Field Marshal Count Diebitsch has sent back to us Colonel Spendowski without asking a Russian prisoner in exchange ' • declaring that he willingly sent him back that his wound might be better attended to in Warsaw. The Colonel's foot was so wounded that amputation was necessary, which operation the Russian surgeons had successfully per formed. General Geismar interested himself with great huma nity for the wounded officer, for which we assure him of our gratitude and respect. We are likewise greatly obliged to the Commander-in-Chief of the armies with which we contend, and will certainly seek an opportunity to return the obligation." Colonel Spendowski, being unable to walk, was borne by Itussian soldi p e e r . s p o l il .e their carbines to Grochow, where he was received by our The intention of the Diet, after the termination of the present war, to give portions of land to the soldiers, has led to the inser tion of an article in the Journal, .• New Poland," which shows how important it would be to the cultivation and civilization of the country, to improve the condition of the lower classes of the inhabitants of Poland, by emancipating them and making land owners of them, which would more firmly attach them to the interests of the country. This notion, it is added, had many friends and advocates under the Russian Government. The Governor-General of the capital has learnt that the troops in garrison in Praga pull down the houses the inhabitants have quitted, and use the materials for fuel, and that in many other streets fences and stables arc destroyed for the same purpose. He gives strict orders to the commanders of the troops to pre vent such disgraceful proceedings, and then orders that in future the damage shall be made good out of their pay. The Warsaw Gazette says, " That two important projects of law will shortly be laid before the Diet, namely, on the as signment of land to the peasantry, and on the pensions of civil officers." The Konigsberg Gazette says—" We hear from our frontiers that in the vicinity all is tranquil. In that part of the kingdom occupied by the Russians, especially in Augustoro and the en virons, the inhabitants had renewed the oath of allegiance to the Emperor Nicholas as King of Poland." WARSAW, MARCH 17.—Our State Gazette says—" The breaking up of the ice still continues. Snow and rain alternate with each other, and the roads become worse and worse. This seems to be the reason that we hear nothing from the theatre of war. The steam-boat which was in the Vistula sunk a few days ago." CRACOW, MARCH 15.—Our Courier says—" General Clo pieki has been'here thesethree days ; he is come to get his w oun d s cured." The same paper gives a letter from Warsaw of th e 11th , which says that Field Marshal Diebitsch has sent General Witt in pursuit of General Dwernicki, and that the Polish General Szembeck hag resigned." ST. PETERSIcURGII, MARCH 12.—Our yesterday's Ga zette says—" The Commander in Chief of the army in the field reports to his Majesty, under the date of February 19 (March 3), that since the battle of the 13th (25th), no thing had occurred in the army. Notwithstanding the defeat of the rebels on that day, and the complete confusion in their army on the right bank of the Vistula, it has not been possible to reap all the advantages of the victory. The dangerous state of the ice, in many parts of the Vistula, which has already began to rise, render it impossible for our troops to pass the river till it is en tirely clear. Mean time the Field-Marshal has ordered General Rosen, commander of the sixth corps, to clear the waiwodeship of Plock from the parties of the insurgents, and to disarm the in habitants. Count Diebitsch also reports, that our loss on the 25th exceeds the first estimate, and that according to the re ports of the several regiments, it amounts t o e i g ht th ousan d killed and wounded. The loss of the enemy is incomparably greater, from the concentrated fire of our immense artillery, and the incessant attacks of our cavalry. This is confirmed by the prisoners and the soldiers, as well as by the inhabitants of Warsaw, who daily come over to us. The number of deserters from the regular Polish troops is very considerable, and in the Landstrum it is so great that many of the newly formed regi ments dispersed after the battle of the 25th. In general, dis cipline has declined to a great degree in the army of the insur gents. On its retreat from Kaluzyn to Praga it devastated the sountry and completely plundered the unfortunate inhabitants. From the 3d to the sth there were no new cases of cholera at Moscow, nor any recovery or death of the eleven patients who remained on the 3d in the morning, ten were expected soon to recover. _ WARSAW, MARCH 15.—Count Diebitsch, we hear, has his head-quarters at Zelechwo, half way between this and Luislin.— The passage of the Vistula below Warsaw having been found impracticable, he is now said to meditate passing the river at a point higher up. It is also probable that the Russian Commander in-Chief is awaiting the arrival of the guards who crossed the Polish frontiers on the Ist instant, and are not likely to arrive at head-quarters before the 20th. The open country between the Bug and Vistula has been completely devastated by the enemy, who, after robbing the peasants of their provisions and cattle generally, set the barns and cottages on fire. An insur rection in Podolia is very generally spoken of. Kamienice Podol ski is said to be in the hands of the insurgents. Thu Nobles, it is added, have unanimously agreed to emancipate their serfs, and to place themselves at their head. The corps of observation which was encamped in front of Praga has retreated. A detach ment stationed in Grochow has been driven out of that village, and the whole corps has sought refuge in the forest. In the course of the skirmishes which preceded this retreat our troops suffered severely. Two staff-officers were severely wounded. An immense number of dead bodies were left by the enemy upon the spot where they had been encamped; as these bodies had no marks of wounds received, the natural conclusion is that sick ness, to a fearful extent, must prevail among them. WARSAW, MARCII 17.—The French Ex-General Excel mans is expected here in a few days, apartments are already pre pared for him. M. Durand, the French Co n sul, is sai d to be re called, and that he will be succeeded by M. Firmin.
