This diplomatist affirms that within a fortnight a general treaty of peace will he published in Europe on the broadest and most liberal basis. The first condition wilt be the general disarming of all the Powers, and the placing of all the troops of Europe on the peace establishment. We do not venture to trust in such hopes. Such a result would be too ad , mirable, and we should be the first to congratulate our selves on it; for if we have hitherto readied tv war, it is because we have believed it necessary tti the establish ment of a general and glorious peace; but if we could obtain such a peace without passing through all the dis orders which war produces, we should esteem otrielVes most happy." (From the Messager des ChaYsO'res, dated March 26.) SMACK, MARCH 21.—A person `who is come from .Cohlentz announces that the Prussian General who corn. mantle in that place has just ste.ted in the order of t+s.: of his division that all the Colonels of regiments are to be in readiness to march, at the first mtignal, from Co blentz to Treves and Saarbuck. Orders have been given to prepare plartera for 50,000 men. This order of the day seems to have caused some agitation in Rhenish Prussia, especially as nobody understands against whom so grsea a number of troops may be directed. A letter from Thionville, of the 22d of March, says— A Belgian gensd'arme of Frisange, who has just ar rived here, brings the news that 80,000 Dutch and Prus sians have attacked Belgium on the whole line; that the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg is not yet occupied, but is expected to be so every moment. Many Prussian troops daily arrive in the environs of Treves,—the roads are crowded with them, and they all, seem to be proceeding towards the Belgian frontiers. It is needless to warn our readers against news of this kind. It is curious to learn from a good Belgic gend'arme, that 80,000 Dutch and Prussian, hare attacked Belgium on the whole line. PARIS, MARCH 25.—A couritr, who arrived yeettraay from Naples, was witness of an engagement nn the row; from Bologna to Montefiascone, between the Papal troops and the patriot*, in which the latter had the advantage; each party had about 1,000 men, This affair secured to the patriots the possession of Viterbo, where there was Po obstacle to prevent their entrance." inc , :cot Ft:Nos.—rams, MARCH tier Cents., 81f.

ATE CORRESPONDENCE.) PARIS, SATURDAY El- . EIqiNG. You will perceive by the jouvnals 'the:c the new Prime Minister has not been iftet in enforcing- the unity of action which he has declared to be the basis of his administra tion. !'e has pledged himself to dismiss from office any public functionary who should adhere to the new ass-reit tion, the lists of which are, howevtr, circulating with some activity among the pudic;it being the obvious in• terest of all pat•ties in 'opposition to weaken, if possible, the attem'pt to impart vigour to the King's Councils. I am inCormeci that the minority of 122 menA+ers of 'ate Chamber who voted against M. fitt'ide's proposition for the perpetual exile of ti-Royal Family, contained a much larger number of the members of the extreme left than the journals in the interest of that party admit ; indeed it is stated to me that a private meeting of some of the leaders of that side of the Chamber was held, when this question was taken up as one of party tactics to em barrass the march of the twit hew Ministers, and a plan of action laid &WI% acccordingly. The financial report will be made to the Chamber next Monday. I understand that the dilapidation of the na tional resources, while in the hands of the ex-family, was almost incredib!',... And I believe it will be found that time has hot yet elapsed to repair, in any sensible degree, thtt previous extent of deterioration. I likewise learn that the intended patent (license) tax of Baron Loots will be abandoned. The Finance Minister had overlooked its incidental addition to the nUmber of electors. The Minister for the Italian patriotic provinces, who has lately strived in Paris, has had two or three inter views with General Sebastiani (who does not quit office, as some of the journals assert). The latter, if I am not misinformed, assured him that Prance would not permit Austria to overrnr. the Italian provinces generally. Yet, from the tat t iegraphic despatch received yesterday, it would appear that Austria has interfered, by force of arms, within the Papal States. You will see by an article is this day's Journal des Debate, a paper which I believe speaks the sentiments of a portion of the present Cabinet, that the entrance of the Austrians into the Bolognese territory is viewed with a jealous eye. All is tranquil in this capital, except the temper of the journalists. The people are amused out of doors with the inglorious removal of the fleurs-de-lis from their mo numents, and the restoration of the Napoleon achievements upon the arch in the Carousel. We are, it seems, to morrow-, according to the alarmists, to have another counter-revolution, when the King rides to the Champ de Mars to review the troops. 'The soldiers too are, appro priately enough, to call for war. These alarms are sound ing every day, but I pay them no attention : indeed I do not, from any appearance which I can judge from, see the least indication of popular commotion in the capital at this moment. I have seen letters from Brussels, written on the evening of the 24th. The new Ministry had not been then formed, but the party for " the movement" were very active to nominate their champions. It was known that the Prince of Orange had arrived in the Hague, and some indications of an Orange party in Brussels are spoken of; on the other hand, associations on the plan of the head one in Paris were actively forming, and the outlines of organization from the bureaux here were in course of distribution. In fist Paris at this moment so teems with plans of constitu tions, addresses for those who seek liberty, and printed re commendations suited to every popular emergency, that it would be hard for anv nation, from the Baltic to the Me diterranean, to want for any length of time the best advice in such pursuits. Whole hales of proclamations, framed in this city for the use of the people of Warsaw, have been seized, in transit'', upon the Prussian frontier. The success of your Reform Bill, small as it was numeri cally, was here received with great satisfaction by all the moderate party, who see in the stability of the present Whig administration a bond of peace. The Government received the news from Calais by telegraph late on Wed nesday. _ Y.

EXPRESS FRONI PARIS. -from the Times.) We have just received, by express, the Paris papers of Saturday (morning and evening), and the Messaper des Chamfers and the Gazette de Frunce, dated Sunday. By the same convey anev we have received letters and pa pers from Berlin of the 20th in.t. ; Bologna, of the 17th ; and Warsaw of the 15th. Tle3 Perlin State Gazette, of the 20th, adds little to et.:r Polish news. It, however, expresses some misgiving for having published an article on the 12th, which hinted that mediation would be po litic tietween Russia and Poland. This would imply that the Court of Prussia, at least if it had ever entertained the intention to mediate, had now abandoned it. The Warsaw papers of the 15th contain accounts of some small successes of their brave soldiers against de tached Russian troops; the weather continued dreadful, and no nailit;.ry operation on a large scale could be then attempted. General Giesmar had the command of the - nearest Russian corps in the I:ne of Praga ; and General Diebitsch was at Garwolin, which is 15 leagues distant from his last fighting position. The distribution of his corps, it was thought indicated a movement toward the south ; but in the state of the roads it was believed that a fortnight or three weeks must elapse before he could at tempt to strike any very important blow. The Russians Lad burned a village as they retired from their retrench ments at Grochow. The cause assigned, on the one side, is barbarian cruelty ; on the other, that it contained a good deal of entrenching apparatus, which it was incon venient to remove. Private letters from Warsaw of this date do not - entirely ovneur in the sanguine expectations of defence held out by some of the journals. They state that the weather was Lecoming more settled—the swell of the Vistula subsiding --the reinforcements of Diebitsch not far distant—his large pontoon nearly finished—in fret, his orerwhelmitg means in proximate concentration, Some of these letters contradict the statements in the journals of cruelty to wards the Polish prisoners, and state, as proof., that the Russian Commander, were now, at least, acting with soma lenity, tl•at General Diehitsch had just sent back Colonel Spendowski, who had been badly wounded before Praga, in order that he should have the assistance of his friends. The gallant Colonel, it is true, was in no con dition to resume hostilities, for his leg had been amputated. General Geismar had also treated his wounded prisoners with humanity. The Bologna Precursore of the 17th is filled with hi g h sounding promises of patriotic resistance ; it contains proclamations to the National Guards to die in defence of their independence. The Bolognese do not at that date mention the appearance in their territory of any Austrian troops, but it will be seen that the telegraphic despatch in the French papers states that event to have occurred on the ?Oth. On the 17th, according to our Bolognese papers, the Provisional Government had given the com mand-in-chief of their army to General Carlo Zucchi, who had retired from Modena with the little corps of that state, when General Frimont's Austrian detachment hid entered it. The decree investing this officer with the com mand is described as having been received with great en thusiasm by the cit , zens of Bologna. There is a long article in the Precursore, showing that France ought in stantly to enforce in behalf of Italy her avowed policy of non-intervention. We have not room for more that the following extracts from Le Temps : _. " A telegraphi c despatch from Lyons gives the follow ing news, dated en the 19th instant, from Italy:— " The Austrian, have advanced detachments upon the road of Ferrara to Bologna. They have pushed on as far as Couto, where they have re-established the Papal autho rity. Every thing indicates that they will entirely oc cupy the insurgent provinces. " The King of Sardinia continues in the same state. His malady is very serious. The Queen signs for him, but without the title of Regent. " No sign of trouble i❑ Piedmont.' " The rep ,rt of the Commission charged with the in quiry into our financial state will he made on Monday next. " An Evening Paper announces that Monday's Moni tear will contain the plan of a loan of fifteen millions of renter, five per cent. From our inquiries we have reason to believe this announcement to be incorrect." CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES—SITTING OF Maacit 26. The sitting commenced at the usual hour, two o'clock, when the Chamber immediately proceeded on the Order of the Day, the report of the Commission on petitions pre sented to this House. None of these petitions were of sufficient consequence to be mentioned; M. de Monet, the reporter of the Commission charged with the eAatniriation of a Bill presented to the Chambers for the suppression of riotous mobs, then ascended the tri bune to read the report of the Commission, and propose some amendments. He then said that they considered it a crime in itself to assemble in mobs on the public ways, independent of the motive of the assembling, and proposed that at the first reading of the " Sommation" (Riot Act), all arms found upon any persons whatsoever in the mob should be confiscated; and after the third reading all per sons arrested, whether rioting or only present in the mob, may be condemned to one year's imprisonment, without any particular charge being brought against them. Some other amendments were proposed. After these amend ments were read, the Chamber proceeded to the develop ment of M. Gaetan Murat's proposition to repeal the law passed in 1816, interdicting the entrance of the French territory to the family of Napoleon. He said that it was not consonant with the dignity of the nation to be afraid of the return of the Buonaparte family to the throne of France; besides that it was not now to be considered when Napoleon had been dead so long, andtliathson had be e n brought up in the spirit of th e Austrian school, that it could be even the wish of that family that he should ever again aspire to any such ascendancy; and as the Chamber bad rejected the project of assailing the elder branch of the Bourbons, he did not think they could refuse to retract the law of 1816. . . M. Agier, in opposition to the motion of M. Murat ' charged the republican party with want of real patriotism, and was persuaded, from the observation he had made during the late riots, of the name of Napoleon 11. being associated with that of the republic, that it was not by any means in the pretended spirit of generosity under The above analysis shows plainly how the case would have stood had it been decided by those Members of the House of Commons who can, with any degree of propriety, be called the representatives of the people of Great Britain. Had the decision of this question been left in their hands, it appears that the numbers would have stood thus:—For the second reading of the Bill, 221,—against it, 136. As, however, the victory has been gained, and the ultimate suc cess of this great measure can scarcely admit of the shadow of a doubt, less regret may be felt that those whose selfish interests were, on this occasion, placed in opposition to the public welfare, had not the decency to withdraw, since it has afforded an opportunity, on one side of the question at least, for an exhibition of public virtue and self-sacrifice scarcely to he met with in the brightest pages of hi.tory. This occasion presents the opportunity of reminding the electors of the United Kingdom that a time may come,— and if it comes, it will come right speedily,—when the mis represented constituents of these 136 Members who com pte the minority of the representatives of the people will be called upon to do their duty to themselves and to their country. Let them be prepared for this. The division on the Ileforna Bill is in itself a strong practical proof of the importance of individual exertion, and if, at a general elec tion, one of that 136 is allowed by his constituents to be returned without a contest, the Bill may be lost, and those who may have slumbered at their posts will deserve the consequences. Persons arriving from all parts of the country declare, that the enthusiasm in favour of Reform in the provinces very far exceeds any thing of the same kind which they witness in the metropolis.—Morning _Herald. In the House of Commons, on Friday night, Sir HENRY HARDINGE, after declaring that Lord Joint RUSSELL'S Bill is a " revolutionary measure"—" that it changes the whole Constitution of England," Sze., very naively remarked, " The change in 1688 was called a re volution ; but, after all, it was only a change of dynasty the substitution of the House of Bitusswicx for the StuAivrs." We should be inclined to speak of the Reform Bill itself much the same style. It has, indeed, been called revolutionary; but it is, in fact, nothing inure than a change in the representation, a substitution of po pulous towns for broken doorways and old walla. ■ CLARE ELECTION.

FROM THE POLISH LITHUANIAN FRONTIERS, MARCH 17.—The detachments of troops sent out by the Russian Commander-in-Chief have cleared the country of the Cracovites, and taken many of them prisoners. The van Of the Russian Guard arrived at Raygrod on the 17th inst. The pontoons sent to the army passed through Loinza on the 13th. The Russians enjoy excellent health. The PoliSh Lieutenant-Colori.el tovolinski, who came from Modlin to ti3e army of his lawful Sovereign, has been fol lowed by almost his whole battalion. Many Polish sol diers, it is said, desert from Modlin to the Russians. BERLIN, MARCH 20, HALL'-PAST Six r.3f.—We have just received the following extract of a letter from the Russian head ouartet . s, which being too late for insertion In the Xttite Cazette to day, we publish it, in a supple ment to be given out to-morrow Morning. Extract of a letter from Sienica, dated March 12, 1831 :—" Sihce the battle of the 25th of February the Rus sian troops have Continued to occupy the environs of Praga, and ev's'il have their out-posts in the suburb itself. The rebels, who are driven to the other bank of the Vistula, remain in possession of the Tete de Pont, and it would have been no use whatever to make an attack upon it. O❑ their side an attempt was made to drive the Russians out of the houses, to set fire to the latter, and to drive a Rus sian detachment from the Saxon Werder, but they were repulsed with loss, and have not repeated the attempt. " The state of the Vistula, the thaw seldom interrupted by frost, and the weakness of the ice, have hitherto pre vented the Russian troops from passing the river. To lay a bridge over it would not have been a dvisable, as the breaking up of the ice might have carried it away, by which the communications would have been interrupted, the army cut off from its resources and exposed to want, which is to be feared in a country which has been ruined by the presence of the enemy's troops, and purposely laid waste by them. " The Commander-in- Chief has, therefore, resolved to remain in a position of observation—to distribute the army in more extensive cantonments, and to give the troops some rest. On the 27th of February a detachment con. silting of a brigade of infantry, a brigade of regular cavalry, two regiments of Cossacks, and eight cannon, was placed under the command of General Sackers, with di rections to take measures fur the preservation of the bridge of the Bug, and to secure the arrival of the last detach ments of the corps of grenadiers, wiiich were to come by way of Ostrolenka and Pultusk, to join the army, which they did on the 2d of March. ye On the Ist, some hundreds Cracovites attacked a piquet of Cossacks, some of whom were killed. At the same time it was reported that numerous bands of militia had shewn themselves at Ciechanow and Prdsnie, and about 10,000 regular troops near Plousk. On this the carps of General Rosen was ordered to clear the country. He sent out strong parties to reconnoitre, but they did not find the-enemy either at Chiechanow or Pra•nie. As the Poles had burnt the bridges over the Ukra, the corps corps could not march to Plousk. The Field •Marshal thought it useless to undertake this expedition, and ordered the 7th corps to destroy the bridge at Zegrz, and take up its quarters at Stanisleworv. General Sacken remains between the Bug and the Narew, to maintain tranquillity there and to preserve the magazines, in which the provi sions are deposited for the subsistence of the guards, who are advancing by the roads front Grodno and Kowno. "By order of the Field-Marshal General Kreutz, our right wing, after occupying Raiow, had crossed the Vistula at Triechen on the 23d of February. After the battle of the 19th he was not molested agai❑ by the enemy." By accounts from Warsaw we learnt that a, column of troops had marched towards Kartschew and Gora, where upon the Field-illarshal ordered General Count Witt, who was cantoned at Laskarzew with the reserve cavalry, to be ready for battle. On the 26th two small detach ments of cavalry at Pulawy were treacherously attacked by the Cracovites, who, in concert with the inhabitants, almost entirely destroyed them. Some days later the Field Marshal received information that Dwernicki, with a corps of 12 or 15,000 men, and 20 cannon, bad passed the Vistula on the let. On the 2d he made an unexpected attack on a detachment under the command of Major General Kaver, and caused it some loss; but the courage anti presence of mind of Colonel Tukotacheweki saved these troops from a precipitate retreat, and they retired slowly and in good ore'er. General Kreutz, however, thought he ought not to wait in Lublin the arrival of an enemy so greatly superior in number., who besides might draw troops from Zamosc, and organise levies in the country. Ile, there fore, retired on the road of Pieski and Kranislasv, and was on the sth beyond this town at Sychodel. On the first news of the invasion of General Dwernicki, the Field Marshal ordered 1:3 battalions to Laskerrew, there to join the troops of Count Witt, who with his cavalry and part of the Lithuanian cavalry of the guard, was to go to meet the enemy. On the 7th a bridge was laid over the Wiepra at Scharni, and on the 9th General Muratvieff ,iad already occupied Pulawy. Strang parties were sent out to recon noitre in different directions, in order to obtain i forma i tion of the enemy's march. The coomiand of a these troops was given to Count Toll, Chief of the eneral Staff. Should Dwernicki have the intention which many of his officers have expressed of penetrating to Volhynia, he will pay deafly for so rash an attempt. He will be cut off from the Vistula, be taken in the flank and rear by the detachment sent in pursuit of him, and will meet those cantoned in Volhynii. The only resource he will then have left will be to take refuge in Zamosc. The move ment of the troops ordered by the Field Marshal has already produced its affect, and General Sierawaky, who had marched to Pulawy with 6,000 men, in order to join Dwernicki, and who had already advanced two marches, has been obliged precipitately to retire over the Vistuls, As two days incessant rain promised the breaking up of the ice, the head-quarters have been removed to Sienica, and the general corps of the army removed to such can tonments, that it will be possible to assemble them with rapAity and ease at the point which will offer the greatest advantages for passing over to the left bank of the Vistula. As the rtbels observed that several bivouacs were de serted, they thought on the 10th that they might attempt a sally from the Tete de Pont, but they were quickly re. pulsed by the vanguard under the command of General Geismar, and lost about 100 men. Among the kiiled is an officer of rank, and another among the prisoners. Colonel Micieleki has come twice from Warsaw to the bead-quarters with a flag of truce, and bad both times an audience - of the Field Marshal. The object of this mission was to learn the conditions on which the Comminder-in- Chief would consent to put an end to hostilities by a sus pension of arms. The Field Marshal required first of all the complete submission of the Poles to the commands contained in the manifesto of his Majesty the Emperor. It seems that the Poles begin to be sensible that they can not successfully resist the Russian arms, and must in the end be overcome. - THE HAGUF., MARCH 22.—1 n the sitting of the second Chamber of the States-General to-day, the Minister of Finsace laid before the Assembly, in the name of the King, the Budget for 1831, in a very long speech, and accom panied by a❑ explanatory memoir. The Minister observed, that it was highly necessary to provide immediately for the wants of the treasury. The projects of law which he laid before the Assembly were thirteen in number, of which he proposed to begin with the twelfth, which is to order an advance of the personal tax. A voluntary loan of 42 millions is proposed at six per cent. interest, secured on the produce of the land-tax, which will be deposited in the Bank of Amsterdam. The shares to be 1,000 florins (950 florins only to be paid). If the loan should not be filled up, there shall be a forced contribution of 25 millions, for which bonds bearing four per cent. interest shall be given. The Alinister intimated that, reckoning frotn 1833, the public expenditure will not exceed 46 millions. A later protocol has been signed by the Congress at London, the object of which, it is affirmed, is better to enforce the resolution already taken by the Powers re specting Belgium. We hear from Flushing that his Majesty's ship the Zeecreo, of S-L guns, is fitting out with all speed. Tug HAGUE, MARCH 24.—Prince Frederick set out yesterday for Breda, whence he will go to the army. It is reported that the Prince of Orange will soon go to Luzernlung. Her Royal Highness Princess Albert of Prussia (Prin cess Marianne of the Netherlands) has sent 5,000 florins to the Minister of Finance, to be applied to the service of the State. Numerous promotions have been made in the army and the navy. AMSTERDAM, MARCH 25. Actual Debt, 2% per cent.. Amort Syndic , P,4 per cent.

Already, in the night of the 6th instant, the following fugitives arrived here : Messrs. NAM and del Rio, from Reggio ; Luigi Mussi, from Parma; and from Bologna, the new Minister of Fo reign Affairs, Bianchetti, and four members of the Provi sional Government. It seems that they have lost their courage. The Tuscan Government having intimated to LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 28, 1831. After deprecating the Reform Bill as one which would upset the Constitution (by which they mean themselves), annihilate the monied interest, deluge England with blood, and sink it in the scale of na tions below even the level of a paltry German pro vince—after conjuring up phantom after phantom of revolution, massacre, anarchy, and democratic tyranny ;—the boroughmongers, finding all their ex ertions useless, have put an abrupt atop to their horrid conjurations, and as a last resource come for ward to attack the Press. After tragedy comes f a res. Finding that Reform must be carried, they have resolved to degrade the measure by impugning the motives, and throwing obloquy on the character of, its staunchest advocates. The cause must in deed be bad, the stock of logic necessary to support it distressingly limited, when such a line of defence is set up. What, are the boroughmongers wholly at a stand-still for argument ? Is Mr. CaoKEß's quiver emptied ? Is Mr. HORACE Tvriss's last shaft spent ? Can Sir C. WETHERELL put, forth no fresh absurdity ? Has the little, shal low, trickling streamlet of Sir R. PEEL'S eloquence run itself dry ? In a word, are the boroughmonge rs so completely in extremis that they are compelled, as a last expiring, convulsive effort, to let fly their pop_ guns at the Press ? Unhappy Press, that is thus ex posed to such a thundering cannonade Still more unhappy Editors, that are left at the mercy of such a mighty dialectician as Mr. DAWSON ! This Gentleman presumed, an evening or two since, to attack the Press as pandering—GOD save the mark I .—to the faction of the Reformers. It is scarcely worth while to reply to such trash, or we could inform the Hon. Member—who has every po pular recommendation on earth except Constituents —that though the Press is omnipotent in the right, it is wholly without power in the wrong ; that it can lend energy to a good, but not to a bad cause ; that it can crush the boroughmongers, but _ _ cannot deface a pillar of the sacred edifice of the Constitution ; that, in fact, it represents tic judg ment and the intellect, not the passions or the pre- judices, of the community. Had the Press, for in stance, supported the other side of the question ; had it denied the necessity of Reform—when such necessity was as visible to the lynx eye of reason as the sun at noon day—it would not have gained a single partizan, but would have sunk in popular esteem, and most deservedly lost its high character for ever. On what plea then of truth, justice, or common sense does Mr. DAWSON presume to attack the Press ? Does he expect to make it tremble, and give way beneath his assaults, like the gates of FRONT-Dr-Boxes castle beneath the blows of King RICHARD'S battle-axe ? Does he hope to annihi late it by the energies of his superior intellect ? Preposterous idea ! As well might the pigmy at tempt to slay the giant, or the dwarf to bend the bow of ULYSSES ! But no, no ! The Honourable Member without Constituents, is too shrewd, too experienced, to an ticipate any such triumph. His abuse of the Press is the necessary consequence of his apprehension•. He would have concealed his hostility, if he could, but in spite of himself it overcame his discretion. The cauldron was hissing hot, and the water of ceuree boiled over. As an organ (and no uninfhtential one) of that Press which he has thus honoured by his malignity, we conceive it our bounden duty to inform the Honour able Member without Constituents,—and in doing so, we address our remarks not to him only, but to the whole fraternity of the Anti-Reformers, of whose sapience he is a most worthy representative—that his and their day is past for ever; that the clock is ready to strike ; that the Hand-writing has appeared upon the wall ; that the awful warning has gone forth to the borough mongers, " YOUR KINGDOM HAS DEPARTED FROM YOU." Does he ask for poofs of this assertion ? They surround him in thronging multitudes; they accom pany his every step ; they haunt him night and day. In town and country; in private and public assem blies ; in the Court, and in the dungeon ; in the palace of the noble, and the hut of the peasant : nothing is talked of; nothing thought of; nothing dreamed of but Reform. Reform in the represen- tation—Reform in the law—Reform in the church— Reform in each and every department of the Con stitution ;—this is now the sole, unanimous, irre sistible demand of the nation. Wherever we go, we hear of this, and nothing else. It was only yesterday that in walking along the Hammersmith road, we overheard a group of labourers discussing the merits of the Question, and the motives of its opponents, in a style and Kith a spirit that would have silenced the Hon. Member for Newport, and have put even Mr. CROKER'S bronze to the blush. Even with the theatre Reform has become a favou rite subject of speculation, and we ourselves can bear testimony to the enthusiasm with which the clever drama under that title has been received for the last ten nights at the Coburg. For their own sakes, then, we implore the boroughmongers to consult the signs of the times that are daily, hourly deepening round them, and give up all further opposition. Should they now concede, nothing further will be ex acted from them : but should they persevere in their hostility to Reform, and resolve to die in the last ditch—who shall say what amount of retribu tion an infuriated people may not:demand ; who shall ssy what fearful lengths they may not, in their mad ness, be prepared to go ? When a law suit that has long been pending between two parties is decided, the loser is compelled not only to part with his existing possessions, but even to make restitution for every penny that he has for years been spending of the winner's property. In like manner, may not the people, following up the spirit of this analogy, not only strip the boroughmongers of their present illegal influence, but even call them to strict account for all the sums—the immense—the countless sums —they have for years and years been filching from the public purse ? May not the people—when once the success of the Reform Bill has proved that such conduct was illegal —even arraign the boroughmongers as traitors to the Constitution, and compel them to pay back into the public treasury the hundreds—the thousands—the millions of the public money they have squandered on themselves—their mistresses— and their mean, crouching, sycophantic slaves? May the people not do all this, and even more ; and doing this, will they not have justice, however stern, on their side? Again, then, in the spirit of the most earnest sin_ cerity, we entreat—we implore the boroughmongers to give way ! To-day only is their's ; the morrow belongs to the people; and when that morrow shall have dawned, and found the bigots' still obstinate— still unconvinced ; what, gracious GoD ! may not be its setting ?On what scenes of rapine --of blood —of massacre —may not its sun go down ! We have just received (two o'clock) the Ham burg Reporter of Friday last, from which we have only room for the following extracts : HAMBURG, MARCII 25.—The Prussian State Gazette contains a semi-otficial letter from Siennica, the Russian head-quarters, dated the 16th instant. It contains an ac count of several partial engagements, in which, as a matter of course, the Russians were victorious, notwithstanding the obstinate bravery with which the " rebels" defended themselves. At the village of Maluszyn, a detachment of about 1000 Polish militia-men were attacked by four squadrons of Russian lancers. Two hundred men, including six officers, were taken prisoners ; three hundred are described to have been drowned in endeavouring to escape across the river, and the remainder to hare been killed, or to have perished in The flames ! Lublin has again fallen into the hands of the Russians, after having on a former occasion expelled the garrison left there by General Kreu!z. The defence of the inha bitants appears to have been gallant in the extreme, and it was not till the dismounted cavalry of the Russians had forced the barricades in the streets that the inhabitants submitted. General Clopieki's wounds (says the Austrian Ob server) are likely to detain him at Cracow for at least eight weeks. The want of arms, particularly fire-arms (says the same Paper), is sensibly felt by the Poles. General Dwernicki, according to the latest accounts from Warsaw, has thrown himself into Volhynia, in hopes of being able to form a junction with a corps of about fifteen thousand insurgent peasants collected in that province. The van-guard of the Russian guards arrived in Ray grod on the 17th instant. BORSEN.HALLE, FOUR O'CLOCK.-The trade in Wheat continues as brisk as ever, and all the best samples brought into the market arc eagerly bought up for exportation, ap prehensions being entertained that the present low duty on importation into England, will ❑ot last long. Our own consumers having also made purchases, the stock on hand Continues small, and consists chiefly of inferior qualities. Rye is heavier, and prices maintain themselves with dif ficulty ; the sales effected during the week have been unim portant. Barley has been in demand, and, prime samples Jd lispoPe 10 taiA being rare, many of an inferior quality have been di for exportation. There is now but little in the market sale. Oats maintain themselves with difficulty, altlic the supply continues small. From th e 12 t h to t h e 19th i n st., ten cargoes o f c passed the Sound ; of these, nine were bound for Brit ports and one for Bremen. The further decline of the French funds, and the cussions in the Chamber of Deputies, have made our stoc market heavy; Money stock is still somewhat in a mand, and per cent. dearer than for time.
