BRUSSELS PAPERS. RECEIVED THIS MORNING. Sr. PETERSBUAGIi, Fan. 9.—The Journal of this city a ontains the following Manifesto : " Nicholas 1., by the Grace of God, Emperor and Autocrat of All the Russian, &v. &c. &v. " Our Manifesto of 12th (24th) December last has acquainted our faithful subjects with the revolt which has broken out in the kingdom of Poland. Though inspired with just displeasure towards the rebels, we immediately prepared to check and to punish them. We had flattered ourselves with the hope of saving the victims of infatuation and seduction. We desire, by the language of truth, and by new proofs of forbearance, to bring them back to their du.ies ; we encouraged the well-disposed citizens, whom fear had dispersed at the commencement of the in surrection, and offered them the possibility of impeding its progress, and of showing to the world, by a- happy ep.. position, that the whole Polish nation did not deserve the name of traitors. We are even now convinced that that unfortunate nation is the victim of some wretches. -- ;"i3U;tliese perjured traitors continue the course of their crimes,---they forge arms against Russia; in their madness, they excite our faithful subjects to trea son, and lastly, on the 13th of this month, in the midst of an illegal and rebellious Diet, in which they assume to be the representatives of their country, they h ave d are d to proclaim that our don-union, and that of our family, had ceased in Poland, and that the throne restored by the Emperor Nicholas (this must certainly be Alexander) was vacant and expected a new monarch. This insolent dis regard of all rights and of their oaths, this perseverance in the most culpable sentiments, have filled up the measure of their crimes. 'The moment is come to punish with rigour those infamous wretches. We have invoked the supreme Judge of actions. and thoughts, and we have confided to our faithful armies the care of subduing the rebds. " Russians,—ln this solemn hour, when with the affliction of a father, but also with the firm calmness of a Prince who fulfils his sacred duty, we draw the sword for the honour and the inviolability of our empire, join your fervent prayers to ours before the altar of the just God of him who knows all things. May he bless our arms for the good of our adversaries themselves; may he enable us speedily to overawe those who oppose the great work of the pacification of a people who has confided its rights to us; and as soon as the power lately taken from Russia by the rebels shall have been restored to it, may he aid us in fixing it for the future upon solid ban*, adapted to the wants and the welfare of the whole kingdom, and capable of putting an end for ever to the attacks of the ma levolent, who dream of a separation. " Faithful subjects, this is worthy of your efforts. You are accustomed not to spare them for us and the country. " Given at St. Pttershurgh, 25th January (6th Fe bruary), 1831. (Signed) " NICHOLAS." We have learned that the proclamations of Field-Mar shal Diebitsch have been circulated in the whole kingdom of Poland. It is added that on the frontier, where they Lave been publicly read, they have in fact contributed to tranquilize the inhabitants. WARSAW, FEE. 15.—The Stole Gazette (of War saw) publishes under the head of official news, the fol lowing report from the theatre of war : " On the llth in'tant, General Zymirski, in canto. cu noe of orders which he had received, quitted his po sition near Kiew, in order to reconnoitre the strength and the position of the enemy. With a column composed of the infantry of Ge neral Rohland, of some squadrons of cavalry, and half a brigade of artillery, the General pro cei ded towards the little town of Nier, situated beyond the Bug, passing through Mengrow, (probably Wengrow) After having pas.eed through the latter town, and sent troles in all directions, he proceeded two miles farther ; however, the scouts that were out to look fir the enemy could not fitsd any trace of him. It was in the environs of Wrotnow that they first percei%ed some of the enemy's dragoons, who, at the appearance of our hulans, retired. Our vanguard first discovered two of the enemy's squadrons beyond Wrotnow. A small detach ment fired a few shots, and then joined the retrograding squadron. Lastly, near a second village, beyond Wrotnow, a division of hulans was seen, with a brigade of flying ar till ry. The movements of the enemy, who retires every vehere, convinces General Zymirski that he is not inclined to enter into an engagement ; and as the General, with his column, could not go too far from the bead-quarters, be resolved to return to them slowly, hoping by that re trograde movement to induee the enemy to follow him, and then to bring on an action ; but the expectation of the General was not realised." The Courier of Warsaw says :—" The inhabitants of the capital expect with impatience positive informa tion from the theatre of war, especially because travellers arriving from the Bug and the Narew say that they hul heard a heavy cannonade. However, the end of the last week has passed over quietly : our troops often change their position, and the enemy retires. The news of our action near Jadow is not confirmed. The day before yesterday the Cossacks again approached tie town of Siedlic, but immediately retired. It is in that town that our Cracovitea are stationed. On the other hand the Gazette of TVarsaw states, that yesterday even ing late news arrived of a battle between the Polish and Russian armies on the Lewice, in which the first Polish regiment is said to have decided the success of the en gagement. It is stated that they fought with the bayonet, and that four pieces of cannon were taken. According to other accounts the bridge over the river was so covered with dead bodies, that the Polish soldiers on returning to their camp could hardly pass it. The same journal adds, however, that we mutt wait for the official confirmation of this report." M. Giodewski, Commissioner of the Government; who was said to have been taken prisoner by the Cessacks during his journey in the province of AugustoWO, is reported by the TVarsaw Gazette to have arrived in this city the day before yesterday, and to have set out again the same day for the head quarters of the Commander in Chief. General Sierawski, who commanded at Zamore, and who has been succeeded by Colonel Kypinski, has suc ceeded in passing the Russian lines, and arrived the day before yesterday at Warsaw, where he reviewed the Na tional Guard. The Russian prisoners, who from the 29th November till now were detained at Warsaw, have been removed to Weldon and Czenstochau. The Generals alone remain in the capital. BRUSSELS NATIONAL CONGRESS—Strrixc o FEB. 24. In this sitting the order of the day was the election of a Regent. T he number of members present was 157. The votes were divided as follow, viz.:— For M. Surlet de Chokier 1 Cri . M. Felix de Merode M. de Gerlache One paper not signed —157 The President (M. Gerlache)-1 recommend the most profound silence. M. Surlet de Chokier haring obtained the majority of the rotes, is proclaimed Regent of Bel gium. Ile will not enter on the exercise of his functions until he shall have taken the oath,—(The President lead the form of the oath.) Unanimous and loud acclamations proceeded at once ficat the Hall and the galleries. A deputation of 10 Members was drawn by lot to wait t•ipon the newly-elected Regent. The sitting was sus pended fur an hour and a half, till the return of the de putation, when the Vice-President, with much emotion, Gentlemen,—Your Commission has performed the duty which you confided to it. Received by your worthy President with the kindness which is the charm of his character, with an emotion which soon communicated itself to all the Members of your Commission, we could hardly exchange a few words. I said to M. Surlet de Chokier that his name had been hailed with general accla mations by the Assembly and the public ; that his nomi nation was a splendid proof of national gratitude, given to a life without reproach, and to signal servic- I ren dered to the cause of the country in difficult services Two sentiments appeared to me much to affect our worthy President; first, the high mark of esteem given him by this august Assembly, which is only the organ of the nation itself, and secured by the engagement taken with himself to make this last sacrifice to his country in circumstances of the difficulty of which 1,6 is fully sen sible. After a long career,' said he, what better use ran I make of the days which I have still to lire than to offer them to my country? But do not f.rget that I have reed of your friendship and co-operation. Go and tell my Hon.

LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, MARCH 1, BSI. The close approach of the discussion of that grand Question to which the whole country is looking forward with an anxiety unparalleled in the annals of her history, which is to confirm or annihilate the power of Government and decide the destinies of Great Britain, compels us to restrict ourselves to a mere enumeration of the few remaining meetings on the subject which have not yet appeared in the columns of The Sun. Gladly would we report these meetings at length—gladly would we do them that justice which their importance demands, but space and time are imperative, and we must, however re luctantly, submit. To be brief then ; we have now lying before us full reports of Reform meet ings held ; in England, at Stansfield—Lincoln —Christchurch—Lymington—Poole—Sunder land—Dorchester—Cockermouth—and Ches ter ; in Scotland, at Roxburgh—Elgin—Castle Douglas—Dumfries—and Haddington ; in Ire land, at Dromore—Belfast—Waterford—Kil kenny—Cork—and Clonmell ; in Wales, at Montgomery— Holvwell Swansea—Carmar then—Flint—and Newport. In perusing the reports of these various meetings, it is impos sible not to be struck, first with their re spectability; secondly, with the extraordinary shrewdness, energy, talent, and determination that characterize them. They breathe an air of stern, steady, solemn resolution, not to be misap prehended or despised. Reform is no longer in the hands of the Radicals ; it is no longer con fined to the humbler classes of the community ; it has risen to the dignity of a national question ; it has become a sun in the political horizon, on which the gaze of all parties is rivet ted with equal intensity. We are far from ex aggerating matters when we state that nine out of every ten men who have influence and stand ing in society, and, above all, who have pro perty to lose, have become staunch Reformers. In Scotland this is strikingly apparent. There, the principal speakers at Reform meetings have uniformly been men of wealth—of intellect —of high and commanding influence—Heads of Corporate Bodies, and Professors of Learned In stitutions—who, so far from being cautious or crippled by the peculiarity of their situation, have thundered forth their opinions on the one topic, in a tone and with a manner that niust silence the clamorous, convince the sceptical, and paralyze the timid Boroughmonger. In Wales the same spirit is predominant, but in deed throughout the kingdom, in every city, town, village, and hamlet, wherever the ghost of an opinion has, stolen its way, the conviction is unanimous that without Reform there must be —Revolution ! So assured is every Reformer of this stern truth, that he has discusses ilie point at issue, as if it were, one in which he himself were the chief person interested ; as if it were less a national than an individual, less a public than a private, question, on whose failure or triumph depended his own existence. Another striking - feature in these meetings is the enthusiasm with which the ballot has been received. A t Lincoln—at Bristol —at Nottingham—at Newark—it was no sooner proposed, than the assembly rose to a man and hailed it with three cheers. And yet the ballot, as a great political remedy, is scarcely a year old ! Even a few months since it was a puny bantling exhibiting every symp tom of premature decay. Subequent events have, however, combined to lend it strength and energy. The infant has become the boy, the boy is fast ripening to the man. What a por tentous sign of the times is this precocity How pregnant with matter for serious reflection ! Hercules even in his cradle is not to be des pised ; but Hercules full grown and resolute is a hero whom it requires a being like himself to conquer. W hope the Tories will bear these things in mind. Not a few among the most stubborn have, we know, resolved on thwarting Reform, not by boldly opposing it—they arc far too shrewd for such madness—but by moving an amendment which may cripple, while to all ap pearance it favours the question. We know too that in the event of success, they are looking for the co-operation of the Lords, who, by crippling the question still further, may reduce it to a per feet nullity. The Dames of some of these men are known to us, as they soon will be to the public. But we warn them to forbear in time. The season is gone by for evasion. The whole country is awake, acquainted with its rights, and resolved to regain them. It is no longer safe to rely on the ignorance of the people. There is scarcely a man in the community, no matter how humble be his origin, how imperfect his education, who is not master of Reform in all its bearings, and who will not at once see through and resist the trickery of those who attempt to thwart its pro gress. Political unions have not spread them. selves abroad over the country for nothing. Im mense masses, comprising thousands and tens of thousands of men, resolved by every constitu tional means to see themselves righted, have not been drilled—disciplined—enlightened in vain. Let the Ultras then look to it. Let the Boroughmongers take a hint in season. To the people we would say be tranquil, b u t vigilant ; be confident, but not without distrust, even though Government is your friend and BROUGHAM your advocate. Watch the pro gress of Reform with the lynx eye of jealousy ; survey it in all its bearings ; track it through all its windings ; weigh well its details ; compare them ; combine them ; analyse them ; meditate upon them ; consider how far they satisfy, how far they fall short of your just demands. Above all, look narrowly to the Boroughmongers and their allies. The spirit of despair is abroad, and you well know its power. With the Ministers we would be equally urgent. We would say, let your plan of Reform be full and efficient ; such as it becomes en lightened rulers to bestow, and a grateful country to receive. Be not afraid of consequences ; faint not by the way-side ; attempt not to retrace your steps ; the road to victory is in front—de feat and ruin are in the rear. The country, rely on it, will see you safe through all your diffi culties. Your cause and theirs is the same ; both fight under the same banners. Even should you be compelled to resign, the people will again and again reinstate you in office. Besides, where are the Ministers who will dare to step forth and supply your vacant places ? Be resolute, then ; be unanimous, and win a name ii history such as no former Administration ever yet obtained. In the House of Lords last night, Lord BROUGHAM, in presenting a Reform petition, declared himself still opposed to the ballot. In the Lower House, Mr. O'CoNNELL gave him self the coup de grace, in an explanation, which he intended to be a complete vindication of his late conduct with respect to the Crown prosecu tion instituted against him. Mr. STANLEY an swered him in a way that gave satisfaction to the whole House. The labours of the many Law Reformers who in the various departments of the Court of Chancery, the Courts of Common Law, and the Law of Real Property, are striving to correct abuses, and to introduce better-systems, may re ceive great encouragement by reflecting on what has of late years been effected in the Criminal Branch of our Jurisprudence. The revision and consolidation of a multitude of Statutes which had been accumulating for centuries into a rude and undigested chaos, have led to the compre hension of many important divisions of law within the scope of a single Statute, and we may refer to the Jury Act, the Criminal Justice Ad ministration Act, the Acts for preventing in juries to property, and to the person, and to the late Forgery Act, as creditable examples of the good that may within a short period be brought about by an industrious reforming hand. It would be unjust to withhold from Sir ROBERT PEEL the praise he is on this score so well en titled to, whatever difference of opinion may exist on the philosophy of the penal system which his legislation has sought to perpetuate. We have before us a new and valuable work, entitled " A Digest of the Criminal Law of England, by EDWARD E. DEACON, Esq., Barrister-at-Law," and we cannot too strongly express the high sense we entertain of the in dustry and judgment that have been displayed in this successful attempt to bring under one view the whole field of our criminal jurisprudence. The subjects are classed alphabetically after the manner of " Comyn's Digest," and " Burn's Justice," so as to be easy of reference, contrary to the case of most law books with which we are acquainted, and as the Digest comprises the ' latest enactments, it will be very useful not only to the profession, but to magistrates and all others who desire to have at their fingers' ends the last''imder which we live. Since, unfor tunately, the time when the Statutes of the Realm were publicly promulgated has lop g since passed away, and since there prevails so general an ignorance of such Statutes, even among Justices and Lawyers (as witness the proceedings under the late Special Commissions), correct information on the subject may assuredly be ac counted some of the most useful knowledge that can be diffused. Mr. DEACON, in his preface, justly observes that the entanglement and obscurity of the Eng lish Law have arisen in a great measure from the abuse of the practice of reporting adjudged cases. " The unhappy Mania of the present day," says he, " to take down every obiter dictum of a Judge--every casual observation made by " him upon the plainest princirle of law, and " then to cram it into print, has really grown to " such a pitch, that there is now no saying where this reporting rage will stop, nor can it <, b e wondered, among these myriads o f re ports, if one of the consequences should be, " to find tlre Judges often contradicting ea ch " other, and sometimes even themselves." The proper and only remedy for this nuisance would be to have authorized reporters attached to every Court, whose reports alone should be regarded as authority. At present the Law Reports being . under no controul, are merely on the footing of the reports given in the N ews p a p ers; and we have no hesitation in saying, that both -the one and the other are the frequent, though uncon scious, instruments of the propagation of error. 'We do not altogether agree with Mr. DEA CON in his estimate of the evils of breaking in upon existing laws. Undoubtedly the stability of the law is highly desirable, in so far as it affects its notoriety, but the changes wrought by time in the frame of society, and the perpetual succession of new ideas, and new habits, render it impossible that the criminal, or any other branch of law, should be exempt from fluctua tions. We hold the Forgery Bill of last Ses sion to bo a scandal to our Jurisprudence, and that the efforts of good men should never for a moment be relaxed in order to substitute for it a law more consistent with justice and mercy. We hope Mr. DEACON'S second edition will contain a Forgery Bill of which capital punish ment will form no part. The French Papers contain little intelligence of moment. The Ministry still feeble—still undivided, willing to be resolute without the means to enable it to be so, is becoming daily more and more unpopular. SOULT and TAL LEYRAND have both, we hear, strongly remon strated against its vacillation and want of energy. The Marshal's complaint was, we understand, that General SEBASTIAN! had, without his knowledge, given orders for disarming the Piedmontese refugees on the Savoy frontier. We have received by express the Paris Papers, dated yesterday. The intelligence in the Quo tidienne is worth attention. The following is an extract of a private letter, dated Paris, Sunday evening : " Every thing is tranquil for the moment, but the re publicans threaten a disturbance about the middle of March. The Austrians are marching to put down the insurrections in Italy, and the French Govern►nent has given orders for disarming the Italian refugees who have collected on the frontiers of Piedmont. The Prussians, the Dutch, and the Spaniards are continuing their warlike preparations. Marshal Soult is also actively proceeding with the same. In the meanwhile committees for revo lutionizing almost every country i• Europe are sitting at Paris. The Polish, the Spanish, and the Italian Com mittees are avowed, and an Irish Committee is said to exist, but this has not yet been admitted by the parties concerned." (From the Temps.) Some letters from Germany state, that the Emperor Nicholas has declared by an ukase, that the kingdom of Poland is united to Russia, and that henceforth it is merely to be a province of the Muscovite territory. (From the Quotidienxe.) Much satisfaction, mingled with a slight degree of asto nishment, was manifested last night in the diplomatic circles, with respect to a conference that had taken place the evening before, between the Amhaesidors of England and Austria and M. Sebastiani. It is said that the two Am bassadors went together to the French Minister, to whom Lord Granville declared, as a preliminary, that his Government could not disapprove of the entry of the Austrians into Italy. It is also added, that , M. Sebastiani hastened to reply with his habitual [iconic and simple tone, " that neither did he consider the invasion, the stay, or the measures of repression of the Austrian soldiers in the States of Modena and the States of the Church, could be considered as acts derogatory from the system of non-intervention, •o happily esta blished in Europe by the firmness of France, and which the Government of King Louis Philip were firmly re solved to maintain, and to put into execution whenever the good harmony which the great Powers ought to pre serve among themselves, did not require the sacrifice and the temporary abandonment of the same system of non intervention." An Austrian division under the command of General Baron de Geipert, was to have entered the Duchy of Modena on the 16th. General Bentheim is on the frontiers of the State of Ferrara, ready to enter the States of the Church, should cir cumstances render it necessary. A corps of ob,ervation, almost entirely composed of Hungarian regiments, has re ceived orders to take its station upon the frontiers of Pied mont, from whence it will cover Upper Italy. At Bologna, which is the centre of the revolutionary movements, and where preparations were making to form a National Con gress, there was a talk of proclaiming Napoleon 11. It is still proposed at Vienna to give a command in the army of Italy to the Duke of Reischstadt. In the Prussian State Gazette we have an other Manifesto by the Emperor NICHOLAS, in which the despot impiously invokes the blessing of the DEITY on his exertions to enslave the Poles. The spirit of this Manifesto is of a most violent outrageous character, and like the gene rality of such ultra documents, will most probably defeat itself. From Warsaw nothing decisive is known, though abundance of rumours are in circulation. M. SURLET DE CHOKIER has formally an nounced his acceptance of the office of Regent of Belgium. The establishment of this Re gency, which is of course only temporary, se cures Belgium indirectly to France. ROYAL REFORM.—We believe it is perfectly true, that Mr. FORRESTER, a Groom of the Royal Cham ber, has been dismissed, by his MAJESTY'S desire, in con sequence of declining to support the Reform Bill. H e i s to be succeeded by Mr. CAMPBELL, brother of Lord Cawnen.— Times. A Tory met a Whig, this morning, in the street, and said " we shall beat you to-night on the Re form Question." " Perhaps you may," replied the Whig, " but probably in rising so, you may beat yourselves." VOTE BY ALLOT.--lt was seriously dis cussed by several Members attending at the House of Com mons this morning, previously to the commencement of bwiness, whether a better opportunity could be found for trying the practical effect of the ballot than upon the Reform question of to-night. On the night of Lord BROUGHANt'S cele brated speech on the abuses of the Court of Chancery, the Duke of WELLINGTON was observed to be one of the moot attentive listeners, and the loudest among those who cheered the Loan CHANCELLOR'S statements; it cannot therefore fairly be said that the Duke is opposed to a! Reform. It is rumoured that Mr. COLTMAN is to be the Chief Justice in Bankruptcy ; that the other new Judges are to be chiefly of the common law bar ; and that the compensation to be given to the commi,sioners is in some cases to be 4001., and in others 3001. Observer. The reduction of Salaries' Committee have abolished the salaries of Lord Presient of the Council and Lord Privy Seal. The Secretaries of the Treasury are to have 2,500/., and the Under Secretaries of State 1,500/. a-year. It was reported this afternoon in the City that prince TALLBYXAND would leave London to-morrow ! With respect to this rumour, we shall only remark that, at one o'clock this afternoon, there were no symptoms of de parture observable at his Highness's residence in Portland -I►lr_ce,--Morning Paper. . - • COUNTY MAYo.—The Ballina Impartial of Wednesd iy gives a statement of an affray which took place on Friday morning, near Foxford, between a number of the peasantry of the barony of Gallon, and a military detachment under the orders of some of the Magistrates. The peasantry consisted of upwards of 100 armed men, iea+ s replied r pal niaed',ol when a oca s u l al ren:i(ui the upon hin Kindwi na he Who are you?

After firing with out effect on the Magistrates, who were considerably in advance of the military party, the insurgents made an at tempt to outflank the soldiers, but fled on receiving a volley from the latter, who mortally wounded a fellow named DUNCAN (since dead), and made prisoner another fellow of the same name. LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THLS DAY). COURT OF CHANCERY. DON NEGA N V. LT IiCTION• Mr. WRIGHT moved a few days ago for an injunction, ex-parte, on behalf of the plaintiff, as against the de fendant, a bookseller, and the publisher of a Greek and English Lexicon, edited by the plaintiff, to restrain him from selling the Lexicon at a price contrary to the agree ment. By the terms of the agreement between the par ties, the defendant w. .:s not to sell the work by retail, in boards, at more than thirty-one shillings and sixpence a copy ; and at not more by wholesale than 245. in quires, and 255. 6d. in cloth. The plaintiff alleged that the defendant had broken the stipulation by selling, retail, in boards at forty-two shillings, and indeed all the copies at a higher price than specified by the agreement. The Lord Chan cellor refused to grant the injunction, on the ground that the plaintiff had his remedy at law, in the shape of an action for damages. The Learned Counsel dedred to have an opportunity of renewing his application this morning, on the ground that it appeared to him lie could not have made himself understood to the Court from the decision his Lordship had come to. He felt he was able to satisfy the Court that the plaintiff had the right, according to the principles of this Court, to make his elec tion, whether he should come here or go to law. The Loan CHANCF.LLOR said it might lys so, but he should certainly not hear any more about this motion, without the defendant's previous!; having had notice. Mr. KNIGHT obtained leave to give notice this morn ing for the next Seal. His LORDSHIP proceeded to hear appealp. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) FRO LLOYD'S.

The French Papers by the mail this morning state that it appears certain that Marshal Soult has resigned, but it is not as yet known if his resignation will be accepted. Accounts from Bologna, cf the 16th of Feb., state that 6,000 patriots from Romagna were marching on Rome. They did not meet with any opposition on the road. The letters from Madrid to the 15th of February say that M. Harcourt, having received despatches from his Government, im mediately wrote a note to the Minister for Foreign Affairs, de claring that if Spain interfered with the affairs of Portugal it would be considered as a declaration of war on the part of France. Accounts from Milan of the 18th Feb. state, that on the evening of the 16th February the Members of the Government held a secret Council, which lasted six hours, after which three couriers were despatched, two for Vienna and one for Berlin ; it is said they were going to demand immediately the interference of these Powers in the affairs of the insurgent provinces. It is also stated that Austria, Prussia, and Russia have formed a new and stronger alliance. A Halifax mail has arrived this morning, but only three days later than the last accounts. THE FUNDS. The great agitation of the mind of the public in regard to the question of Reform to be brought forward this evening still has a preponderating effect on the funds, which are again very heavy this morning, and the market islnuch agitated. Consols, which left off yesterday at 76h, for the account, opened at the same price, but soon after gave way, and were done at 76% %, at present they are 76%!4, as the speculators still seem to enter tain a doubt of the result on the Reform question. Nothing of consequence in the Foreign Market, the prices being much the same as yesterday. It is expected that a great number of persons from the city, as well as from other parts, will proceed to the House this evening, anxious to hear the par ticulars of the Reform Bill. _ The private letters from Paris, this morning, are more and more unfavourable with regard to the atrairs of that Govern ment. The Ministry are divided among themselves in the policy to be pursued with regard to Austria and Italy. In the mean. while the war party gains ground, and it is much feared that the King will he carried away by the torrent. HALF-PAST ONE. By the private letters received from Milan this day to the 19th February, we have the following account :—ln consequence of the great exertion of the Austrian police no revolutionary move. ment had occurred there; but at Brescia there had been serious disturbances. The Grand Duke of Tuscany has given a constitution to his subjects, and called out the National Guard on the same footing as that of France. The King of Sardinia is going to do the same ; and the Prince of Carignan, who headed the last revolution in Piedmont, has been named Generalissimo. Tuscany, Sardinia, and Italy, are determined not to allow any Austrian troops to occupy their territories, and the same feeling seems to prevail at the Court of Naples. Consols, which were done in the early part of the morning at 76W % for the Account, have since improved, a re-action has taken place, and they went up to 76% A ; at present they are 76yi, %. We have no political news or reports. The Reform Question only and solely occupies the mind of the public. In the Foreign Market nothing doing. THREE 0' CLOCK. Consols, '761.

Colwick sprung two or three points, and was backed by a party who comes from the quarter where the result of a trial is likely to be known sooner than in London; Varennes also got up, but his backers were less san guine than usual; the general character of the afternoon's busi ness was favourable to the Bulls.

MADRID, FEB. 17.—(Extract of a private letter from our Private Correspondent.)—" With respect to the mission of M. AC UA D:), which has been the subject of general conversation here, all we can say is that the Cortes Bonds have been more favourably looked upon in consequence of that event. A letter received last week from Vienna states that " Young NAroLEoN has recently been introduced at the Court of the Eaten:mu , for the first time. He is a tall and elegant-looking youth, with a countenance full cl intelligence. I afterwards met hint at a party at the Eng lish Ambassador's, where he delighted the circle in which he moved by the ease and familiarity of his conversation, and his general knowledge. Marshal MARNIONT, with a white cockade, and Marshal Malsoti, with the tri coloured cockade, were present upon this occasion. Young IC.arOLEota talked freely with both these permnis. Th e stories that prevail relating to his monkish habits ate quite untrue; COURT CIRCULAR• WINDSOR, FEB. 28.—The Knra and Qvorr C al divine service yesterday morning in St. Georgee accompanied by Prince GEORGE of Cambridge; QuEzt4 is certainly looking better than when here beg, and the KING just as usual, apparently enj o y ing exe e health.
