*Met it was now proposed to confide to foreigners. Then there was the youth or Belgium. Was it meant to be con tended that the youth of Belgium would not take up arms in defence of a Monarch who had been elected by the voice of the people, end that it was necessary for King Leopold to apply to his neighbour the French King for military assistance ? He denied the possibility of such necessity. But be would not detain their Lordships farther. His only object in making these few observations had been, to ex pose an arrangement which he was convinced would make King Leopold little better than a Prefect of France. Lord HOLLAND merely rose for the purpose of ob serving that, in order to come to a decision upon the motion before them, it would be by no means necessary for their Lordships to enter into the consideration of the subjects to which the Noble Duke had adverted. There was one part of the Noble Duke's speech which had given him the greatest pleasure. and which reflected the highest credit upon the Noble Duke. He need hardly say that he alluded to the temper, the manliness, and generosity with which the Noble Duke had animadverted upon what had fallen from the Noble Marquis with regard to Prince Talleyrand. —(Cheers.) On public as well as on private grounds he thanked the Noble Duke for that part of his speech. There could be little difference of opinion as to the injustice, and the want of generosity, of speaking in harsh and in sulting terms respecting the Ambassador of a friendly Power, resident amongst 111?. On the other hand, he felt that there could be no good taste in dwelling upon the virtue and merits of a man's own acquaintance, in an as sembly like that of their Lordships; yet he trusted that he might be allowed to observe that 40 years' acquaintance with the noble individual who had been alluded to, enabled him to bear his testimony to the fact, that, although those 4.0 years had been passed during a time peculiarly fraught with calumnies of every description, there had been no man's private character more shame fully traduced, and no man's public character more mis taken and misrepresented, than the private and public character of Prince Talleyrand.—(Hear.) With regard to the question before their Lordships, he must remind their Lordships that in coming to a decision upon it, they had merely to consider whether any Parliamentary grounds had been made out for the production of the papers if called for. It might be that much that had fallen from the Noble Duke was of such a nature as to render it de serving of the notice and consideration of King Leopold ; but had their Lordships any thing to do with it? He thought not, and if the motion were agreed to, would that enable the Government to form a better opinion on the subject? Certainly not. The general principle applicable to this subject was, that an independent Prince might employ foreign officers if he thought proper. It was true that we had a municipal law—a very wise muni cipal law,—which prohibited foreigners from serving in our army ; but that law would not give any stranger the right of saying, that though we might choose to repeal that law, still we should not employ foreign troops.— (Hear, hear.) This was an internal regulation of our own, and whether we adhered to it or abandoned it, was our own affair, not the business of any foreign Power. Well, then, this municipal law of ours did not change the general principle—a principle which had been acted upon by every nation in the world without any exception, and particular'y in Portugal, where foreign officers had fre quently been employed for the temporary purpose of orga nizing the military force of that country. And herein, let him observe, l ty the fallacy of the Noble Duke's reason ing: for the Noble Duke bad made no distinction between permanent employment and the organizing and disciplin ing a force, which was a temporary affair. Well, then, if the general principle,—the universal right, —was as he had stated it to be,—and he believed that no one would venture to deny the position,—the only remaining ques tion was, whether there was in this case any peculiar circumstances which took Belgium out of the general principle. If there were any such peculiar circum stances., had their Lordships any reason to believe that the Government had lost sight of them? No one had assigned any reason for such belief,—no one bad even expressed such belief. Well, then, if there did exist such peculiar circumstances, and if there were no reason to believe that if they did exist the Govern ment would lose sight of them, must it not be clear that the Government were engaged in a negotiation of consider able importance and delicacy, which, by ,agreeing to this motion, their Lordships would take out of the hands of Government into their own management ?—(Hear, hear.) This, he apprehended, was the real state of the question before their Lordships.—(Hear, hear.) The speech of the Noble Duke might be, and in his opinion, would have been, an exceedingly good speech for the Parliament of Belgium, but not for a British Parliament, he thought. He would not go into the facts connected with the subject, for that would be in effect to agree to the motion, the ob ject of which was, of course, to get at those facts. The Noble Duke bad justly stated that the object of the settle ment of the affairs of Belgium was to make it a neutral state, and the Noble Duke had admitted that he liked the arrangement. But the Noble Duke had forgot t en t ha t Belgium was not yet placed in that condition. King Leopold, at present, was only under an armistice with a neighbouring and hostile power—(Hear)—and be was therefore taking, not from France only, but from any other quarter from which he could procure them, the means of organizing his army, which, surely, was not an improper but rather a necessary precaution, seeing that in the neighbouring country every preparation was being made for warfare.—(Hear.) The steps, therefore, which King Leopold was taking, might, in his view of the ques tion, be very fairly considered as steps essential for his own defence. Then see to what inquiries discussions like these might lead. Might they nut excite others to call for an inquiry into the military force of other Powers? Might not Belgium call for an investigation into what was going on in the Dutch army, and might not France demand to know how many Prussians or Austrians happened to be in the Russian army which occupied Poland ?—( Hear, hear.) He put forward these c onsiderations for no other purpose than to show the tendency of discussions like the present ; because hebad already stated that he resisted the motion for the reasons, that no Parliamentary grounds had been made nut for it, and that if agreed to, it could not by possibility lead to any good.—(Hear, bear.) The Earl of ORFORD said that he, and the Noble Lords who thought with him on this subject, did not deny the abstract right of any independent Sovereign to employ foreign troops if he pleased, but that their fear arose from so many French officers being employed in the Belgian army as would place Belgium under the domination of France. The LORD CHANCELLOR did not rise for the pur pose of prolonging this discussion, but merely to state clearly and shortly she grounds on which the motion was resisted by the Government. if the papers moved for did not exist, there was an end of the motion at once. If such papers were in existence, that proved that the Government was engaged in one of the moat difficult and the most deli cate negotiations which any one independent state could possibly enter upon with another independent state ; and this was, in his opinion, a ground for refusing the produc tion of the papers. He begged to be understood as offer ing no opinion upon the other points which had been touched upon; and he abstained from noticing those points, for no other reason than because resisting the motion on this one ground only, and deeming that one ground to be a good and sufficient ground, be felt that it was wholly un necessary for him to detain their Lordships with any other observations upon the subject. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY said, that after the speeches be had heard, and particularly after the unan swerable arguments of his Noble Friend (the Duke of Wellington) near him, which arguments, he was con vinced, must have their effect upon the Government, he was satisfied to leave the question to the wisdom of the }louse. He hoped that the effect of this debate would be to extricate this country and Europe at large from that state into which they must fall if the Belgian army were officered in the manner proposed. " I will not," conti nued the Noble Marquis, " trouble your Lordships with any further observations on this subject ; but I trust that your Lordships will bear with me for a few minutes while I set myself right with the Noble and Learned Lord upon the Woolsack. I listened with the greatest pleasure to the Noble and Learned Lord while he recommended the ab sence of all personal remarks on the discussion of the Re form Bill ; and, fully concurring in all that then fell from the Noble and Learned Lord, I fully resolved to act upon the good advice which the Noble and Learned Lord gave. I was not aware, that when I ventured to notice an inter ruption which I thought was disorderly, and which I could not help feeling was unkind to me, that I should subject my self to such personal observations as the Noble and Learned Lord directed towards me—especially as I had no intention of giving him offence. I confess I have felt that I have b k , 33 1 hardly dealt with on more than one occasion by the Noble and ;.earned Lord. I cannot forget the harsh ex pressions which he used towards me on a former night, w h en l i e spoke in such unmeasured terms of my humble services, which, whatever the Noble and Learned Lord may think of th em, I hope the Ministry who employed m e have a very different opinion of them.nad Recollecting th ose expressions, and fi ndin g the Noble ns Lea s r o ne n d lu Lo h rd re turning to-night to other expe harsh, respecting a matte r whichrliselhi con himself that has I di lad mTtfee otereel to have been not in strict order, I .d rritatl . on, l e xc e edingly irritated. If , however , under that I said any thing which was painful to the feelings of the Noble and Learned Lord, I assure you that, upon co i f that I was under great irritahility. I esteem the Noble and Learned Lord's talents as highly as any ma❑ can, and I have no wish to come into collision with the Noble and Learned Lord, but, I do hope that fur the future the Noble and Learned Lord will, in charity, abstain from inflicting upon me that sort of personal arguments which he has so often directed against me."—(The Noble Lord sat down amidst much cheering from all parts of the House.) The LORD CHANCELLOR said,—My Lords, in consequence of the very courteous, manly, and candid ob servations of the Noble Marquis, I feel myself called upon to meet the Noble Marquis in the same spirit of eoncilia • tuna in which he has been pleased to revert to the subject of our difference. In doing so, I beg to state to him most unfeignedly, that it has been with the greatest pain that I have felt myself compelled to make observations of that character which he has described as personal attacks upon him. Ido not, however, recollect,—and I shall willingly submit to have my memory refreshed if it be treacherous on this subject,—l do not recollect one single instance in which I have gone out of my way to attack the Noble Marquis, or any other Noble Lord, except when I have been first assailed myself. I believe chat on every occasion on which I have said any thing harsh re specting any of your Lordships, I have been provoked to it by being first attacked myself. However, I per fectly agree with the Noble Marquis, that nothing can be more fit and proper than that there should be an end of such attacks for the future; and I hereby offer to make a treaty of peace with the Noble Marquis, without the intervention of Prince Talleyrand—(Cheers and laughter)—and the terms of the treaty shall be, that if he will let me alone, I will let him alone.—(Cheers and laughter.) Or, if the Noble Marquis be disinclined to enter, without some further consideration, into so solemn a compact as a treaty of peace, let there be upon the satne terms, a truce or armistice between us, with due notice, hereafter to be agreed upon, of renewal of hostillities.— (Cheers and laughter.) The Marquis of LONDONDERRY—I readily agree to the Noble arid Learned Lord's proposal, and accept the treaty of peace upon the terms he has mentioned. Your Lordships are the witnessing parties to our compact.— (Cheers and laughter.) The motion was then negatived without a division. GAME BILL. On the motion of the Duke of RICHMOND, the Game Bill was read a third time, and passed. Adjourned at a Quarter to Nine o'clock till to-morrow. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (From the Times.) We have just received all the Paris Journals of Wednesday, and those ante-dated Thursday, together with a heap of private letters and journals from the continent. The Marquis of Palmella was said to have arrived in Paris on Wednesday, and to have held an imme diate communication with Don Pedro. The loan for the patriot cause of Portugal was said in Paris to have been concluded. The Terceira Regency can command 8,000 fighting men, three frigates, and some smaller craft they are to sail under a blue and white flag. Don Pedro offers to command in person. The cholera morbus was making rapid progress in Vienna. The Austi ion Observer of the 19th gives the state of the malady up to the evening of the 18!h of Septemher in the following bulletin :- " Have fallen sick, 518 ; cured, 19; dead, 227 ; lying ill, 302." The Berlin Slate Gazette of the 20th instant contains the following intelligence, dated Frontiers of Poland, Sept. 17 :- " We learn that the Polish troops from Warsaw, which have concentrated themselves in the vicinity of Modiin and Zakroczyn, have assumed a hostile attitude. A new jour nal, under the title of National Gazette, ascribed to the Members of the Diet who are with the army, has just appeared. Its first number contains, under date of Za kroczyn, September 10, a new address to the Poles, in which all such as are able to take up arms are urged to con tinue the struggle. Letters from Augustowo state, that a small corps of Poles, under the command of Prince Mirski, had appeared there. The Russian garrison withdrew on the approach of this corps, which report had represented as very numerous. The Russians drove back the insur gents, many of whom were taken and executed." The accounts from Lausanne are to the 23d inst. Every thing was unsettled in the Swiss cantons. We have received the proclamation of the Neufchatel Deputies, who are endeavouring to mediate in a permanent sitting.

On Saturday afternoon, at four o'clock, it was an nounced that the gallant Admiral, with his squadron, had appeared off the harbour, and expected to be at anchorage about that hour. Pilots having been sent out in the Waterloo steam-boat, under the direction of Capt. Cutter, Mr. Lambert, harbour-master at Cove, and Mr. Ring, who succeeded, after stretching out to sea some distance, in placing pilots on board the ships, which, on account of the thick mist that prevailed, with a heavy swell, rend red this object one of difficulty; but the ships were all safely moored within the harbour by half-past four o'clock, con sisting of the Caledonia and Britannia, 120 guns each ; the Wellesley, Talavera, and Revenge, 71 guns ; the Barham and Galatea frigates ; the Brisk, Recruit, and Charybdis gun-brigs; and the Viper schooner. Arrived at Cove, the spectators were indeed highly gratified. The men-of-war, having all their sails loose for airing, pre sented an appearance of towering magnitude which it would be difficult to describe. Several parties who had been fortunate enough to view the interior of the Caledonia and Britannia, have not ceased to express their wonder at the extent of the ships and the excellence of the arrangements, nor have they been less engaged in extolling the courteous attention with which they were favoured by the officers, one of whom, we believe a captain, said that the citizens of Cork and the people were entitled to view the ships, for to them they were partly indebted for their maintenance. Sir E. Codrington proceeded hence for Killarney this morning. The Mayor and Sheriffs will proceed to-morrow morning to the Caledonia, and they will be entertained by Captain Curzon. The Admiral returns on Wednesday, and will dine with the Mayor, at the Mansion-house, on Thursday. PRICFS OF THE STOCKS Bank Stock 3 per Cent. Red 3 per Cont. Cons.

COURT CIRCULAR. His MAJusTv left his Palace at St. James's soon after seven o'clock on Wednesday evening in his carriage and four, escorted by a party of Lancers, on his return to Windsor Castle. .. ..... —. -.....___ The Duke and Duchess of CUMBERLAND gave a grand dinner on Wednesday evening at their residence in the Palace at St. James's. Among the company were the Duke and Duchess of Gonnori, the Duke of WELLtigo- TON, the Marquis and Marchioness of SALISBURY, the Marquis and Marchioness of LONDONDERRY, the Marquis of CHANDOS, Earl and Countess BATHURST, Earls ELDON, SHAFTESBURY, CARNARVON, ABERDEEN, and ROSSLYN, Lord and Lady Martsrar,n, Lords WHARNCLIFFE, EN COMBE, FEVERSILAM, Sir ROBERT Paar, Sir HENRY HARDINGE, Sir CHARLES WETHERELL. The Duchess of CUMBERLAND, accompanied by Baroness OMPTEDA, took an ailing yesterday in an open harouche. A conference of the Ministers of Russia, Austria, France, and Prussia, and Viscount PALMERSTON, was held on Wednesday evening at the Foreign-office. The conference lasted upwards of two hours. A Cabinet Council was held yesterday afternoon at the Foreign-office, which was attended by the LORD CHAN CELLOR, the Marquis of LANSDOWNE, Viscounts -MEL BOURNE, PALMERSTON, GODERICH, and ALTHORP, the Earl of CARLISLE, the Right Hon. CHARLES GRANT, Lord HOLLAND, Lord JOHN RUSSELL, Mr. STANLEY, and Sir JAMES GRAHAM. The Ministers remained in deliheration about two hours. Alter the Council a conference of the Ministers of the five great Powers was held at the Foreign-office. Prince LIEYEN, the Russian Ambassador ; Prince TALLEYRAND, the French Ambassador ; the Prussian Minister, and the Baron de WESSENBURG, on a special mission limn Austria, were present. The Belgian Mini.ter had an interview with Viscount PALmans-roN yesterday. The Secretary to the Nether lands Embassy transacted business yesterday at the Foreign office. • The Marquis of ANGLESEA has arrived in town from Ireland. In our list of presentations yesterday, for Lieutenant- General DANen, read Lieutenant-General DANA, and f,)r Li. utriant T. NIA Yfir., read Lieutenant J. M.\ NE, rbf „e lan + e LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 30, 1831. The debates in the House of Lords last night are of more than ordinary interest. On the LORD CHANCELLOR'S presentation of two Re form petitions, from Edinburgh and the Com mon Council of London, a spirit was elicited of a very inauspicious character, and one which, we apprehend, will go far to strengthen the suspicions of those who augur the rejection of the great mea sure. Lord WHARNCLIFFE talked ominously of if their Lordships refused the Bill, Sze." Lord MELVILLE threw out similar insinuations, which indeed might have been anticipated by those acquainted with the political opinions of both Noble Lords, but not the marked favour with which their sentiments seem to have been re ceived by the House. This last is an inauspi cious symptom, and will necessarily prepare the people to expect the worst. Nevertheless we conjure them not to be disheartened ; but to rely—peaceably and confidently—on the assur ance that, let the Lords storm and bluster as they will, the Bill must pass. The in stant it is rejected, a prorogation will, no doubt, take place, the interval will be de voted to a sufficient amplification of the Peerage, Parliament will again meet, the Bill be again brought forward, and the triumph of Reform be ensured. What lunatics then— what, worse than lunatic:,—must those be who hesitate now to accord as an act of grace, what they must shortly he compelled to yield as a matter of necessity ? But there are some whom experience teaches in vain ; to whom time brings no wisdom in his flight ; who to the grey hairs and weakness of age add the stubborn rashness and thoughtlessness of youth. And is it by these, and such as these, that the hopes of an entire nation are to be blighted ? Forbid it, heaven ! After a desultory discussion on Reform, the Marquis of LONDONDERRY again brought for ward that most intolerable of all bores, the Belgian question. The Noble Lord's motion was ultimately withdrawn, but not before it had been abundantly demonstrated with what extra ordinary thickness it has pleased Providence, doubtless for wise purposes, to endow some aristo cratic skulls. if there be one man more than ano ther in whose intellectual composition nature and art seem to have entered into a struggle, as to which could give him the least and deny him the most, a certain Noble Marquis, whose name from motives of delicacy we forbear mentioning, is that man. He literally and truly possesses but two ideas, and between these two—both of which by the by are wrong—he is perpetually vacil lating, like a certain congenial animal be tween two bundles of hay. Oh, that it would please Providence to add exalted wis dom, or even that moderate degree of sagacity which enables a man to see to the extreme length of his nose, to exalted rank, how many long, dull egotistical, incoherent rhapsodies on France and the Belgian question, should we not be spared in the highest Legislative assembly of the kingdom ! 'The Prussian State Gazette mentions that the Polish National Government and its organ, General RYBINSK', have proposed to General PASKEWITSCII to evacuate Modlin and the en virons, provided the southern parts of the king dom and part of the province of Kalisch, be give❑ up to them, that the Russian Com mander will not hear of such a proposal, and has already caused several bodies of troops to advance on both sides of the Vistula towards Warsaw. The Polish National Journal ascribes the surrender of the capital to treachery, and the conduct of General KRUKOWIECKI who, on his part, throws the blame on the Government and the Chamber of Deputies. A proclamation of the Senate says emphatically, " Warsaw is not Poland," and speaks of the cause as being far from lost : WARSAW, SEPT. IS.-Ten days have now passed since the taking of \Varsaw. The inhabitants of this capital have learned that the Russian troops entertain no feelings of revenge, no wishes exceeding the limits of ex emplary discipline, and that the insinuations of the Clubs and the Journalists, overflowing with represm'ations of the cruelty of the enemy, were mere delusions. Mean time the Russian Commander-in• Chief gives his troops some repose after their extraordin a ry exert i ons , an d en deavours, by negotiations with the remains of the Polish army in and about Motion, to spare both parties further bloodslied. Whether this humare object will be attained remains to be seen. The National Government, and its organ General Rybinski, have made this remarkable pro. posal, to evacuate Modlin and the environs, if the southern parts of the kingdom, namely, the provinces of Lublin, Sandomir, and Cracow, and part of the province of Kalisch, were given up to them. Such a proposal being more like that of the conquering than of the vanquished party could not of course be regarded by the Russian Commander, who has already caused several bodies of troops to advance on both sides of the Vistula towards Modlin, and a bridge is erecting over the Vistula, at Jablonna. From Medlin itself we hear that about 2,000 Polish troops occupy the Tete de Pont, on the other side of the Vistula, that the communication between this Tete de Pont and the town is in good condition, and that the latter has only a small garrison. As the Polish main army, which is continually diminished by desertion, has sent numerous detachments into the surrounding country, chiefly to Oblain, provisions, which begin to be scarce in and about Modlin, are very dear. Plozk is said to be also without troops, but it is added that there are 1,200 sick in the hospitals. The numbers of the Clubs and the Journalists in Zakroczyn do not, however, relax their endea vours to recover as far as they are able the spirits of the Polish troops still in the field, which are greatly depressed by the loss of the capital. In the copies which have been received here of the new Polish Notional Journal, which bears the motto— " Poland is not yet lost," the surrender of Warsaw, caused by the triumph of the Russian arms, is ascribed to treachery—all the blame is throw❑ upon General Krukowiecki, who, on his part, has published a defence, in which he casts the disgrace of treachery and double dealing on the National Government and the Cham ber of Deputies. Our Journals will probably publish this document,which is of great importance towards the history of the Polish Revo lution, and then the public in general will be able to fonts an opinion. General Krukowiecki is said to have re tired to his estates near Radom. The National Journal gives the proclamation of the National Government, in which the Deputy Bonaventura Numozenski is appointed President of the Senate, and Colonel Zielniski, Vice Presi dent. It also contains an extract from the protocol of the sitting of the Senate on the '7th, in which the Marshal of of the Diet, Ostrowski, communicated the resignation of General Krukowiecki, and lastly the appointment of Pro fessor Joachim Lelewel to he the Minister of Public Instruc tion ; the Deputy Szaniezki, Minister of Justice ; Gene ral Morawski, of Foreign Affairs ; and the Deputy Aloys Biernazki, of Finance. A Proclamation of the Senate and Chamber of Deputies, addressed to the army says, " The capitulation of the capital, which the Senate did not confirm, is in no wise connected with the existence of a people hitherto free and lode. pendent. 'When we left the capital we did not, there fore, abandon the cause of the country ; we by no means departed front the system we had adopted. Warsaw was not Poland ! Meantime the Polish army has lost many thousand men, who have gone to their homes since it quitted the capital, and it is estimated at 14,000 or 15,000 men at the most, with '7O pieces of cannon ; but they are said to have a very scanty supply of ammuni tion." General Romarino, commanding a separate corps, turned unexpectedly towards Kasciniez, but found the bridge broken down, on which he proceeded southwards to Bachoue ; here he was again closely pressed by the corps of General B tron Rosen, whose van guard is com manded by General Krassowski. He returned back to Osole, and according to the most recent accounts which have just been received here had taken refuge with 10,000 men and 140 pieces of cannon in the Austrian territory, near Zaklekow. Prince Czartorski, who served as a volunteer in this corps, is said to have escaped across the Vistula in a boat. The Warsaw Gazette, of the 15th and 16th, contains a circumstantisl account, derived, as it seems, from good authority, of the taking of Warsaw ; and an order of the Municipality, by which no person is allowed to appear in the streets after nine o'clock i❑ the evening,—only persons in office returning from their bureaux, physicians visiting their patients, and messengers sent to the apothecaries, are excepted. BERLIN, SEPT. 23.—The Konigsburg Journal has the following article :—" Memel, Sept. 16.—Troops of insur gents have beet► again formed in Samogitia, said to be commanded by a person named Riminski. The Russian officers on the frontiers are alarmed, and have packed up their effects, ready to take refuge in the Prussian territory." CHOLERA AT BERLIN. New Cases. Recoveries. Deaths.

Bounties are promised to those who will enlist in it. On the 24th Captain Eater and Captain Van \\ t eener, with 184 subalterns and privates, were released from their captivity in Belgium. They were very well clothed, and their appearance shelved that they hal ken better treated than their comrades who returned before them, which they also ascribe to the care taken of them by Captain Van Weenen during their captivity at Mons and on their way home.

A coalition between the dissatisfied Colonists, and the enemies of the Ministry, has done what in it lay to ruin a valuable branch of industry in this country, by opposing the renewal of the Bill for the encouragement of refining sugar for exporta tion, which Bill has been regularly continued for years from Session to Session, under Tory Ministers as well as Whigs, and which has been productive of no injury whatever to the West India trade. It is, in fact, clear to demonstra tion, that the West Indians cannot be affected by it, so long as the supply of their sugar ex ceeds the demand for it at home, and its price is consequently determined by the price of sugar on the Continent, which is kept down by the produce of Cuba and the Brazils. The monopoly sought to be created in their favour by our colonial policy, has been nullified by natural causes, which afford a striking proof of the short-sightedness that has so frequently at tended our legislation. The West Indians can hardly be otherwise than aware how little the Bill in question can touch them ; and, if so, their conduct on this occasion will, to say, the least, not add much to their character with the country. In this, and other instances, the conduct of the West India interest appears to us inde fensible. But it is nevertheless impossible to refuse to it a share of that commiseration which is due to misfortunes brought on chiefly by circumstances beyond the controul of the sufferers. The competition of foreign produce under advantages denied by nature, and the law, to the British Colonies—the continuance of the foreign slave trade to the prejudice of check e thek y price of labour in the last m entioned Colonies, where the expense of slaves bears so great a ,iidis proportioniclthe high dutiestotheiru on sef sugar impose usefulness—and the consumption of the United Kingdom —are all difficulties against which the West Indians have h a d to bear up without any fault of their on, a nd in opposition to which they are unable any longer to contend. The last resolutions from Jamaica, coupled with the preceding ones to a similar effect from that and other islands, pro that the affairs of the Colonies are approaching a crisis full of difficulty, if not of danger. The • Mother Country, whether deservedly or unde servedly, has lost the affections of the colonists, who no longer conceal their intentions of trans ferring their allegiance to another Sovereign, unless the British Government is prepared to do, for their relief, what it is not in the power of the Government to accomplish. W e do not see our way at all satisfactorily to the issue of these remonstrances, though there is some con solation in reflecting that in any event a separa tion • could only be prejudicial to one of the parties, namely, the Colonies ; for we apprehend that the chimerical idea of the wealth or strength of Great Britain being, in any degree, depen dent upon her West India possessions, is not now seriously entertained by any thinking per son. The power and prosperity of this country resulting from her internal resources, are, hap pily, more securely founded than on so precarious a basis. The evils to which the system of mortgages has led are such as, we fear, the planters can never recover from. The commissions and charges of the mortgagee-consignees are stated to saddle British colonial produce with a burthen of one third more than the produce of foreign posses sions has to bear. how is it possible for a trade ruined by other causes, to go on with such an additional clog as this ? Our learned contem porary of the Morning Chronicle lately ex emplified the good effects of the law of Louis XIV., which prohibited mortgages in the French colonies, and assuredly our planters would have been fortunate if the wisdom of our ancestors had protected them by anti cipation against the mill-stone that now hangs round their necks. The' cupidity of the Lon don capitalists seems likely to teach them a simi lar lesson to that which the Amsterdam mer chants have learned from the ruin of the trade of that city. The removal of commerce from Amsterdam is mainly attributable to the exor bitant charges of the capitalists there, who vainly thought their wealth would always enable them to keep commerce under their grasp. The re sult of such attempts has, in the long run, always been the injury or ruin of the parties practising them ; nor has the punishment been undeserved by those who have acted as if they were both re gardless of the duty of moderation, and ignorant of the true nature of trade. We observe, that in some lectures recently delivered by Mr. CLARKSON, it is recom mended that the prayer of all petitions now be, " the instant and utter abolition of negro slavery," and that nothing short of this ulti matum should be thought of being accepted by the enemies of slavery. If the Government be as hard pressed by the anti-slavery party as it has been heretofore, whilst at the same time it is defied by the colonists under the threat of trans ferring their allegiance, it will have a most diffi cult task before long on its hands, and one which we sincerely wish it well through. Minds of no ordinary calibre will be required to over come the difficulties of the colonial crisis. We learn by the Paris Journals that Louis PHI LIPPE, in compliance, we suppose, with the wishes of the people, has at length decided on changing his abode from the Palais Royal to the Thuilleries, the old established residence of the reigning Sovereigns of France. According to the latest accounts all continued quiet in the capital, and the Ministry appeared to have ra ther increased, than fallen off, in their strength. We direct attention :to an article in the Morning Chronicle, which will be found under the usual head, descriptive of certain Court in trigues now actively at work for the purpose of ensuring the overthrow of the Reform Bill.

POTTER, Esq. and EDWARD BAXTER, Esq., of Manchester. have arrived in London, having been deputed by their townsmen to he the bearers of the petition to the Lords, agreed upon at the late great meeting. The petition is an enormously bulky and weighty roll of parchment, contain ing the extraordinary number of 32,900 names, being nearly ten thousand more than the petition presented to the Commons at the time when enthusiasm was supposed to be at its height. These names were all affixed in five days:, and it may give some idea of the avidity with which it was signed, that one day at the Times office, one of the places when' , the sheets lay, the signatures averaged t wo minute fir ten hours' running. The members of the Royal Naval Club gave a sumptuous banquet on Wednesday evening, at their house in New Bond-street, to Lord DE SA UMAREZ, on his eleva tion to the Peerage. Admiral Sir T.

The question in this appeal, which was part heard terday, though one of but very little interest except to:, parties, has perhaps led to more litigation than latif, which has come before the House of Lords for some Iri* not fewer than 25 judgments having been pronounce it by the Court of Session, and 18 years having rip since the litigation commenced. The late Hon' is Cochrane, whose trustees the present respondents trer e i k ,„ returning from India in 1807, in possession of a largeL f tune, became acquainted with the appellant, Mr. On, who proposed to him to purchase a large estate in Per i* shire, called Auchterarder, for the purpose of selling lots. Mr. Cochrane having a large ready money cnt, at command, and thinking that such an investareat'''. would be highly advantageous to him, agreed to do Mr. H. not having funds, it was manged that Mr. C. ° 11 ,7; pay the purchase money, 50,0001., the conveyance °' estate being made to hint, but Mr. H. was to be liable the half of any loss that might arise, or entitled to the 'rd of the property if there were any. In the latter eno.„, 1808 an agreement was executed, the provisions of trli were, that the property should remain vested in g I Cochrane until Mr. Hunter paid 25,000/, and then P o i C. was bound to hand over to him an undivided lo lf ,„, the estate ; but if in the interim any put of the proper;/ should have been sold, then, on Mr. Hunter's paytac°l o one-half of the principal sum remaining, Mr. C. Was tor - him an undivided half of the remaining lands. Mr. Coc a l was to make up annual accounts, and the original 10133 _ / ,,,r vanced by him was to bear interest at five per cent. , l e, the repayment of which the profits, if any, were to divided equally between Mr. Cochrane and Mr. Hutt and if there was loss on the speculation each party WI; bear it proportionally. The appellant was appall: o '4 receive the rents or arrange the transactions, &c. for Cochrane, but that gentleman, from some cause or other; being dissatisfied with what Mr. Hunter had done, refits; to join in an advertisement for the sale of the property in till he had visited the estate. That visit increased the disc's' faction of Mr. Cochrane, and he immediately gave n otice It o the appellant of his intention to authorise a Mr. Thal* son to act in his place as agent for the sale of the e st& Mr. Hunter refused to give up the management, ing that be was the partner of Mr. Cochrane, and no t D I factor. An intimation was then given to the appellart:i Mr. Cochrane's determination to sell the estate, haring legal advice upon the subject, which fully authorise d in doing so within the period of eight years, on i nner ing proper advertisements of hisintention; this intimati°ll was accompanied with a request to the appellant to g ive UP the title-deeds. This the appellant would not acce de : l and immediately commenced proceedings agaial . • Cochrane in the year 1813, which have continued fr° that to the present time. In February, 183:, the C°lirt of Session pronouncing a judgment against the aPP elit° he brought the present appeal. beara Dr Lustusworr and Mr. RUTHERFORD were to-day for the respondents, Mr. S e rj ean t &Alain rep and their The Lord CHAN CELLOR gave th e judgment d Lordships, affirming th e d ec i s i on o f th e Court below, "'" without costs. contecl!, SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DO') FROM LLOYD'S.
