outset of his speech no small pain in conternplating the condition of a person who seemed to be so oppressed with such very distressingly painful sensations; but I was soon relieved, and found that my compassion bad been altogether misplaced ; for soon the Right Hon. Baronet forgot the solemn pomp of grief which be had at first assumed, and. exchanging his lugubrious notes of mourning for a more . lively strain, passed, by an easy though not very na tural transition, from a funeral oration into gibes and jokes, and merry. making.—( Cheers and laughter.) Be tween the first and the latter part of the Right Hon. Ba ronet's speech there was as much difference as between un dertaliers going to and returning from a real funeral (Ctieers.) You have all seen them going to a funeral. T here is then all the outward show of sorrow, and with countenances as grave and mournful as though they were engaged in performing the funeral rites of their nearest and dearest relatives, they creep along in garbs of mourn inz by the side of the hearse, which proceeds so slowly, that it scarcely appears to move, for even the six bl,ek steeds, with nodding plumes, are made to step gently for ward, and to perform their part in perfect keeping with the bipeds of the procession. The deception is complete until the corpse is once decently interred; but, that affair over, the inky cloak is thrown aside ; they crowd upon the top of the hearse, sometimes half, and sometimes quite drunk: smack gees the whip; the horses, that before seemed incapable of speed for very grief, now break into a smart trot, and the men, whose Countenances pro claimed them a short time since to be the very picture of misery and grief, are suddenly discovered to be at heart the merriest souls alive.—(Cheers and laughter.) Just so was it with Sir Robert Peel, and the other chief mourners at the late interment in the Rouse of Commons ; and whether their grief or their merriment was affected it is not for me to decide, though, for my own part, I have no doubt that their expressions of grief were insincere, and that their lamentations were apocryphal. It would be quite impossible to account for this conduct on the part of Sir R. Peel, if one did not recollect that a greater actor than the Right Hon. Baronet—l mean the celebrated Gar rick—prided himself upon playing Lear and Scrub on the s sine evening, and that the greatest actor of modern titres has imitated on more than one occasion the example of his eminent predecessor.—(Cheers and laughter.) I believe that the actors in the obsequies of the Constitution in the House of Commons were as serious as undertakers usually are at a real funeral, and that there was as much reality in the characters they assumed on that occasion as there is in the characters which stage players appear in night after night during their season, which, however, fortunately for them, is not so long, but much more amusing than our season has been and promises to be.—(Cheers and laughter.) That there was mixed up with these pretences some real borrowings such as ex-placemen alone can ap preciate is, I dare say, very true--(Cheers and laughter) —hut I do not believe that there was any grief on any public account, or that the direful forebodings which were uttered were believed by those who invented and put them forward.—(Cheers.) The Hon. Baronet concluded by proposing-4 The Health of Earl Grey, and his Majesty's Ministers," which was drank with the most rapturous acclamations. Lord Atattoxr returned thanks. Lord BBRINGTON, in a spirited and eloquent speech, which was received throughout with great applause, pro posed " The Lord Lieutenant, and th- Government of Ire land." Drank with three times three, and much cheering. Mr. STANLEY, in returning thanks, assured Hon. Mem bers of the devotion of Lord Anglesea and himself to the interests of Ireland. Mr. 31AcAur,Er proposed " The Cause of Reform," which was drank with great applause. Mr. C. GRANT proposed " The Members for the City of London." Drank with three times three ; and Alder man Woos and Alderman Warrastas returned thanks, inviting the Members present to come and dine in the City, in celebration of the passing of the Bill. Lord Moarrrit, in a neat and appropriate speech, pro posed the " Liberty of the Press,' which was received very enthusiastically. Mr. WYSE, in a very animated and energetic address, proposed the " Reformers of the United Kingdom." Drank with three times three. Sir F. BURDETT proposed " The Stewards ;" and Mr. C. Dundas returned thanks. Mr. Jour; CAMPBELL proposed " The health of Charles Dundas, the father of Reform." Drank with three times three. Sir F. BunnETT then gave " The Worshipful Company of Stationers, and thanks to them for the use of their Hall." Drank with three times three. Mr. WoonrALL returned thanks. After drinking " The immortal memory of Charles James Fox," the meeting separated at half-past twelve o'clock. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Moniteur of Friday, Sept. 22 ) PARIS, SErr. 22.—1 n the Messager des Chambres of this evening is the following passage : " The two propositions which were discussed this morn ing in the Bureaux, were one of M. Mauguin, the other of M. Salverte. The object of the first was to order an inquiry into the internal and external situation of the country ; that of the secend,:to require the communication of all the diplomatic negotiations. " The proposition of M. Manguin was rejected by all the Bureaux ; that of M. Salverte by all except one. Consequently they will not be read in the Chamber." (From the Messager des Chambres, Saturday, Sept. 21.) Rut's, SErr. 23.—Don Pedro and his family have come to pay a visit to the King and the Royal family. 1 7 01113 A elf, SEPT. 19.—The Major of the Prussian Hussars in garriso❑ at Saarbruck, having come on horse back with the Postmaster of that town to the extreme frontier, and having passed it between Schoneck and Stiring, was stopped by the French authorities, who had previously made him a sign to retire. The corporal of the post disarmed the Major. and brought him and his com panion to his superior officer, who set them at liberty, en joining them not again to cross the line. ORAN, Aua. 23.—General Faudoas has arrived at Oran, with only one battalion of the 20th Regiment of the Line. Since the expedition of illedeah, the tribes have united together, in hopes of expelling the French. Every day they fire at the sentinels on the ramparts. The extent of the town is so great, that with so few troops it is slot possible to have posts outside of the walls. The Bey embarked on the 22d for Tunis. The 500 Tucks who still remain will enter the French service. They have always behaved well. Several Arab Chiefs have come to make proposals of peace to General Faudoas. (From the Gazette de France, dated Sunday.) The cholera broke out in Vienna on the night of the 13th, after a hurricane, and a very abundant and cold rain. It has carried away a greater proportion of persons belonging to the upper classes than any where else. Ge neral Stipsics, Countess Mitroffsky, two Countesses Ester hazy, the wife of a bourgeois, four lawyers, two stock brokers, two physicians, and several public functionaries, have already died. The malady has, as yet, only made its appearance in the city ; the suburbs and the neighbouring country are quite free of it. In the city it appears to pro ceed from a focus with three axes, situated in the direc tion which, according to the observations rn ado in Galli cia, seems to be peculiar to it from the north-east to the south-west. The Colonel of the 3d regiment of the line is appointed special Commander of the Palais Royal. It was the soldiers of that regiment who so brutally and wantonly charged the people under the arcade of the Palais Royal on Tuesday night. CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES. (Conclusion of the Siting of the 2lst.) M. Salverte was followed by M. Mauguin, who com menced by saying—l am hound in the first place to acknow ledge the dexterity of the Ministry.—(Ah, alt!) An ac cusation against us is that of inciting to war when we were not prepared for it. Well, in the early mouths of the revolution, seeing the dangers which menaced tit', I was about to speak, but I was p , everted with " W e are not prepared." We are next said to have imprudently excited insurrections, but I have done no such thing, and I am convinced that none of my friends have done so. _ _ --- -- - M. Madier de - Monjau—Oh ! M. Mauguin, I have letters. M. Mauguin—l can answer for myself, and I think I can for my friends. With regard to Spain, we are said to have excited revolutio ns by our imprudence. I did not, and I assert that what is converted into a reproach for us, was done by others, and I could tell who it was that gave both money and arms.—(Lively sensation.) The Minister of Public Instruction—Having been Mi nister of the Interior during four months, I call upon M. Mauguin to declare all that he knows of my Ministry.-- (Continued noise.) M. Mauguin—l shall proceed no farther in that affair, having other facts to allude to. Who gave to the Spa niards the means of proc eeding to the frontier? 'Was it the Government or the Opposition ? M. Guizot was Minister of the Interior, and had at his disposal the Pre fecture of the Police of Paris , where p as sports are de livered. He who, of all the Spaniar ds took the.deepest interest in the cause, and exerted the to all his gr eatest zeal in the UCCCiS of the expedition, was M...lnglada, known countrymen; here is his passport from Paris to Bayonne, signed by the Sub-Prefect of Bayonne, by which he was enabled to proceed through the entire line of frontiers. He accuses us of what he himself did. Reflect, Gentle• men, on the morality of such conduct. I now come to the question of Italy, but I shall remain silent With regard to various circumstances, as if I knew not by whom plans were demanded and meetings granted ; though it is even said that the Minister for Foreign Affairs held secret con versations with the Members of the Italian Provisional Government. M. Sebastiani—State it ; I call upon you to say all you know.—(Violent interruption.) Mauguin—lt is said that the Minister for Foreign Affairs saw the Members of the Italian Provisional Govern ment, and that he explained in what way he understood the system of non-intervention. The Minister for Foreign Affairs—lt is false. M. Mauguin—There is a means of being convinced of it, which I shall presently make known. Something was said of a correspondence with the demagogues in Belgium, of Ambassadors and Envoys, and that correspondence was kept up between the clubs and popular societies ; but what is there in common between these societies or clubs and the Opposition? I call upon you to answer, for I know it not. This is my reply to M. Guizot. The Hon. Deputy con cluded by saying that he saw no safety for the State in the individuals forming the Government, who while follow ing the dictates of their conscience, could not sympathise with the people. M. Dupin said that the great bane of France was the disturbances. 'I he Carlists lost every thing by the revolution of July--their affections, their Government, and their interests—for with their Government they lost their money and their places. It is certain that they cannot like the revolution or the throne of July, and that they will attach themselves to whatever tends to subvert and destroy them. If the Carlists have lost every thing, the Republicans, particularly at Paris, have gained nothing. Thus Carlists, Republicans, and Buonapartists, are the elements of the disturbances.— The Journals have excited to disturbance. The Nemesis not only excited, but threatened the Government with it. The first disturbance, that of October, threatened the throne, under the pretext that it was to save the Ex. Ministers. In December the pretext was the same. At a meeting of Deputies at the house of M. Lafitte, to the number of 31, it was believed that a plot had been formed upon that occasion. It is not generally known that a few (lays after these disturbances an historical scene took place at the Palais Royal. The dissolution of the Cham bers was demanded; and this attack upon the Constitu tion was made in such a tone that the President of the Council replied—" You, then, are the Prince Hohenlohe of liberty." M. Lafitte—l declare that I uttered no such words. M. Dupin—l was told it by M. d'Argout. The Minister of Commerce—M. Lafitte, I affirm, re lated it to me. M. Lafitte—l repeat my denial. The Minister of Public Instruction—At the house of the Commander of the National Guards, I had a conference with the then President of the Council, in which serious propositions were made to the King. M. Lafitte said—" I did not utter the words attributed to me, but I am ready to relate a conversation, to the honour of General Lafayette—a conversation which I had with him, and which I communicated to the King. I regret that the Minister of Public Instruction was pre sent, for otherwise these ccnterences might have been at tended with a better result."—(Great agitation.) M. Dubois begged the Chamber to drop their personal conversation. _ _ M. Dupin—But there is an historical fact that the Chamber ought to know. The King replied- 4, I w ill never perjure myself." M. Guizot said, that when the Spanish refugees were at Paris they were supported by the Opposition, and en couraged by the Opposition journals. The President gave notice that M. Mauguin had laid a proposition upon the table for an inquiry to be instituted. The President of the Council again demanded that M. Mauguin should explain himself upon his charge. He had said that he had proofs in his hands, and now lie came and demanded an inquiry. M. Mauguin has uttered mysterious language relative to a mother and a child in the rue de la Paix. Well, gentlemen, I have a secret to reveal. An unfortunate woman, compromised by one of her children, was driven from Italy. She took refuge with a sick child at Paris, where she was without re sources. She applied, through a sole medium, to the King, saying, " The laws condemn my child and myself to death. I throw myself upon your generosity. I could only escape in passing by France. I give you my word, as soon as my child is better, I will quit the country." As a Minister I was hound to respect the name of a man whose statue the King had given orders to be restored in the Place Vendome. I made known the circumstance to the King, and succour was sent to her, upon her giving her word that she would proceed to England. Her pro mise was fulfilled. Gentlemen, I did not think it nay duty to denounce this woman to the tribunals.—(Cheers.) After expatiating at some length upon the other charges of M. Mauguin, the Minister concluded by defying him to prove them. The Minister of Commerce regretted that the discus sion had taken an afflicting character of personality. He repelled with warmth the charges of M. Alauguin, and after relating the part which he and the President of the Counsel took in the events of July, concluded by saying, " Our duty is to enforce respect to the King and the Charter, and to wage a deadly war against factions and the factious." The discussion upon the charge of M. Mauguin, in which that gentleman, the President of the Council, the Keeper of the Seals, and several other Hon. Deputies took part, was prolonged till nearly seven o'clock, but nothing particularly new was elicited. The President announced that two propositions had been laid upon the table which, with the other, would be examined in the Committees to-morrow. In the discussion of the following day, the Chamber came to the fo!lowing decision :—" The Chamber, satisfied with the explanations given by the Ministers, and confid ding in their solicitude for all which interests the honour and dignity of France, passed to the order of the day. Upon a division there appeared in favour of passing to the order of the day 221, against it 136—majority in favour of Ministers 85. CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES, SEPT. 23. The President took the chair about twelve o'clock. There were not more than thirty Members present, but by degrees the Chamber received an accession of numbers. M. Laurence spoke at great length on the external and in ternal affairs of France, condemning the policy of the Mi nistry ; and was followed by M. de Tracy and others ; hut eventually the Chamber passed to the Order of the Day, which was the discussion of the proposition of M. Vatout, relative to the electoral lists. The latter Member requested that his proposition might be discussed after the Budget, which was agreed to, and the Chamber adjourned. SITTING, SATURDAY, SEPT• 21. At one o'clock, M. Girod de L'Ain, the President, took the Chair. _ _ _ A report of petitions being the order of the day, M. Gillon presented one from several merchants of Paris and who called for the abolition of the privileges enjoyed by courtiers de commerce (commercial brokers.) M. BAYOU% supported the prayer of the petitioners, inasmuch as the revolution of J uly bad levelled all privileges. _ _ . M. de Schonen denied that such was the consequence of that revolution, and contended that it would be most dangerous for the Chamber to sanction that doctrine, since it would encourage otl er petitioners to claim the abolition of th e privileges of the wtorneys at law, public notaries, stock-brokers, &c. M. Charles Dupin expressed a similar opinion, and the Chamber passed to the order of the day. Messrs. Martin, Marshall, Cormenin, and Ballet pre sented reports on various other ❑nimportant petitions.

PHILIP of Burgundy, HUMPHRY of Glou cester, and a creature of a far different stamp, a Friesland giant, designated " Oost the dyke-digger," a rough un poliihed piece of pure nature, are among the most promi nent personages in Mr. GRATTAN'S new Romance, " Jac queline of Holland."

(From the Times.) We have just received by express all the Paris journals of Saturday, with a large packet of communications from various parts of the Continent to the latest date, through that capital. The French Ministers had acquired another triumph on Friday evening in the Chamber of Deputies, the - latter having passed to the order of the day upon M. I..au rence's motion, to impeach the internal policy of the Government, the movement party not venturing upon a division which would have showed their weakness.._ Paris was entirely tranquil; but a good deal of popu lar regret appears to have been both fantastically and vehemently expressed when the news of the fall of Warsaw had reached the provinces. The States Ga zette of Prussia, of the 17th, contains no news from Poland. According to a letter from Tilsit of the 9th inst. the Polish troops of the corps of Gielgud, amount ing to about 4,000 men, which have been encamped near Packamohnen, are now marching to Satneland, situ. ated behind Konigsberg, where they are to be quartered in the villages until further orders. Their quarters will be surrounded by a military cordon. The officers, whose number amounts to about 4.00, are allowed to fix their re residence in twenty small towns, appointed for that pur pose, in Eastern Prussia, but they have been ob!iged to give their word of honour not to leave the district of their residence. About sixty subaltern officers, who refused to make this promise, have been sent to the fortresses of Pillau and Grandentz. . The Austrian Observer, in announcing the surrender of Warsaw, says,—" The capitulation guarantees the safety of persons and property, and allows the Polish troops to retreat upon Praga. It is thought that the negotiations for the entire pacification of the country are continued." The Augsburg Gazette of the 19th instant has the fol. lowing :—" The news of the taking of Warsaw has made a great impression at Vienna. General Count Claris was immediately sent to Berlin. Russia has declared that she will now occupy herself with the accommodation of land under the mediation of Austria and Prussia. Letters from Frankfort mention a report of the death of Marshal Paskewitsch, in consequence of the contusion he received in the chest. It was stated in the Russian bul letins that be was obliged to surrender the command on the second day of the attack to General Toll, and that he was not able to make his entrance into Warsaw on horse back, but this was not generally believed. Extract of a private letter from Vienna, dated Sept. 1G :—" It was in the night of the 13th instant, after a storm and much cold rain, that the cholera broke out, which had been long checked in its progress by strict sanitory measures. The disease has the same character as elsewhere ; but what is rather singular, is, that during the first two days after its appearance it attacked proportionally more persons of the higher classes than in other towns. Today there are fewer cases than on the two first days." We have alio private letters which state that Prince Czartoriski, and the chief members of the Polish Govern ment, had retired into Gallicia, under the protection of Austria. The accounts from Greece, received through Trieste on the 11th of September, show that it is scarcely possible, after the late events in Poros, that Capo d'lstria con maintain his ground at the head of the Greek Govern ment ; and a private letter we have received from Paris mentions that General Sebastiani had some intrigue in view for setting up in the Presidency of Greece a Greek Prince named Sutzo, one of the Fanariats of Pera. In some of the Swiss Cantons all was according to our accounts by this express, civil war. (PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.) PA EIS, SATURDAY EVENING. Tranquillity has for the last two days been re-esta blished in this capital. This tranquillity will last just as long as faction permits the authorities to perform t heir ex,cutive functions. Without seizing a convenient oppor- - tunity of mobbing them, this opportunity has occurred every six or seven weeks ; but the approach of winter will bring rainy weather, and a shower of rain here dis sipates a street crowd quicker even than the sabres of a troop of dragoons. The fall of Warsaw was the pretext of the last tumults —their real cause I believe to have been the restless spirit of knots of small factions, who make Paris the centre of their movements, and who, acting upon the immense crowds of the unemployed population, can seldom find difficulty in getting up rows: the firmness of the Go vernment, both in the streets, and in the Chamber, have, however, on this occasion defeated these violent projects, and it is to be presumed that the strong support which the Ministers have received from the Legislative bodies, will strengthen their system, and give the authorities a moral ascendancy in the State. Without the latter, change must follow change, and the country be undone. The unseemly contest of individuals during two of the days of debate in the Chamber of Deputies,—the frequent personal contradictions upon matters of fact between the chief partisans at each side upon conversations which must have been entirely within the scope of their memory, have very much reduced the estimate of character of public men here : the fact is, there is an incessant struggle for place in every department of the State. The people are greedy for a little power and money, and there is no place, however subordinate, in which a cry is not raised against some in dividual, not for any inefficiency in the discharge of his civic functions, but for some supposed political tenets at variance with those of the State. From high to low, the country is overrun with a rabid race of place-hunters, and a war of competition of this kind is carried on in every village of the provinces. Hence arise so many adverse interests, that nobody can tell when or how these petty contests will cease, which engender every element of in subordination. Y. NAPOLI DI ROMA NIA, AVG. 20. On the 9th instant, jallsl the Commandants of the French and English fleets were negociating near the Pre sident, for the cessation of the horrors which the Russians, together with the Government, were committing at Poros, Capo d'lstria, although strongly protesting his regret at what had happened, wrote secretly to Poros, and gave precise orders to the Russian Admiral (at the moment when the town of Poros was blockaded on the land side by the Greek troops, and on the sea by the Russian fleet) to use all his efforts, and spare no means for destroying the Hydriotes and Poriotes. These orders having reached their destination, the Russian Admiral apprised the brave Miaulis, that if he did not surrender all his vessels he must sink them. Admiral Miaulis, who did net wish to yield to fear, replied, that if he saw the least movement made against these ships, he would instantly blow into the air the vessels in question. In fact, while the Russians were preparing their plan of attack, Mullis, after taking to the boats with his crew, blew up the fine frigate the Hellas, the Hydra corvette, and a brig. Then the troops of Capo d'lstria, seeing that Poros was no longer protected by its fleet, took courage and entered the town, not like Chris tians, but as barbarians, and committed all imaginable horrors against the unfortunate inhabitants who had not time for flight. The town of Poros, thanks to the phi lanthropy of the President and Russians, remains only as a heap of ruins. Miaulis and his crew have retired to Hydra, where Capo d'lstria seeks all means of fomenting discord. The following letter is from the frontiers of Swit zerland, &ter' September 17:—" Complete an .rchy pre vails in the Canton of Basle. The peasantry fight at each side ; the Diet appears uncertain in the measures which it ought to take to give peace to the Canton. This day between ten and eleven o'clock, the generale was beaten to expel all strangers from Basle. The report was spread that the Balois wished to go to the succour of the communes which adhere to them, and which are attacked by those of the Liestal party. Every day affairs become more complicated. In fact, at two o'clock in the day, 1,000 troops, with some artillery, were going we know not where.

FRUITS OF THE SEASON.—NOW that the stores of Autumn are arrived at maturity, and we are be ginning to enjoy their delicacies, it will be acknowledged that no reading can be more attractive, than that which gives us the history of Fruits cultivated in this country. The greater number of the tribe of Pomona, though now existing among us in perfection, are foreigners; and their introduction to England has been, in most cases, identified with great names in our history, and has frequently been attended by circumstances partaking even of romance. Mr. PHILLIPS, in his " Companion for the Orchard," or Historical and Botanical Account of Fruits, a new and cheap edition of which is just published, has accumulated a body of horticultural informati on , en li vene d w i t h a mas s of the mast interesti n g anecdotes. His account in parti cular of the Apple, the Apricot, the Fig, the Filbert, the Grape, the Plum, the Love-apple, the Melon, the Mul berry, the Nectarine, the Peach, the Pear, the Pine-apple, and the Walnut, will be perused, not only with the most lively amusernfint, but with considerable profit. LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 26, 1831. We invite the attention of our readers to the important proceedings at the dinner given by the Reform Members of the House of Commons to their distinguished leaders Lords ALTHORP and Jo r-t N RUSSELL on Saturday—proceedings which will be read with interest by a grateful country—affording as they do an unambiguous anal convincing proof of the inflexible determi nation that marked the conduct of those two distinguished individuals during the progress of that great measure so essential to the stability of the Constitution, and the permanence of our liberties. Who, now, will raise the preposterous cry that the people are indifferent to the subject of Reform ? Let that individual, if one there be found to utter it, look at the proceedings at this meeting, and the meetings which are being held from one end of the kingdom to the other flomanly decl arat i on o f L or d A LT IIORP, at the (i for r replyon Saturday, who in reference to the ; let him look to the honest and m eans by w hi c h t hi s great meas ure has been carried through the House of Commons, says, it has been attained by your assistance and by the support of the people of England ; and I should be wanting in justice if I did not say that such a result could not have been attained except by the most extraordinary and unparalleled exertion on your part ; by the steady attendance of the gentlemen whom I have now the honour of addressing durin g a long and tedious sitti ng , t hroughout th e w h o l e o f w hi c h, how ever , we we re enabled to p resent to our enem i es suc h a f ro nt as proved to them t h at t h oug h they might protract the struggle, they never could hope to gain the slightest advantage in the con test.—(Cheers.)" The House of Commons— that is to say the majority of it, has nobly done its duty. To the House of Lords, to whom the task is now entrusted, we would say, go and do likewise ;" indeed we cannot bring ourselves to believe that a body of men, many of whom stand recorded in a nation's heart for long and valuable services—men who have fought their country's battles in the Senate and in the field, will now, when an opportunity is offered to them to improve the condition of almost countless mil lions, by rendering them free, prosperous, and happy,—we cannot, we repeat, so far stretch our credulity as to think they will indiscreetly reject the means of accomplishing so much good. We have Barbadoes Papers to the 21st of August. They furnish a most dreadful account of damage, or rather ruin, caused to the inha bitants of the island by a most furious hurricane on the 11th, unexampled in the history of the West Indies. The loss of property comprises dmost every thing in the island, and the loss of life is dreadful. Every house in the island has been either injured or destroyed; every mill has been levelled to the ground, and every crop utterly ruined. In the barracks alone forty of the mili tary perished, and when the accounts left, the unhappy survivors of the colonists were dragging from the ruins the mangled bodies of the suf ferers, so that no accurate account of the num ber of victims could be ascertained. The Go vernment house was unroofed, and the Governor only saved by taking refuge in the cellar. The Custom-house was blown down, every church on the island was more or less damaged, and . St. Paul's and St. Mary's were utterly destroyed. Most melancholy was the situ ation of the living in the midst of wreck, and surrounded by the dead, and the Governor has despatched intelligence to the other islands, praying for instant aid to save the living from starvation, the provisions being entirely de stroyed, and the utmost destitution prevailing- It appears that the effects of the hurricane were felt at Dominica, St. Vincent's, and the other islands, though in a less destructive degree, but considerable damage was done. The town of Rousseau was almost inundated by the breaking in of the sea, and great damage was done to the ;hipping at Barbadoes. In the other islands no lives have been lost. We have received Papers and advices from Hamburg. There are no news of any import- Ince regarding the Poles ; but it is stated, on the authority of letters from Warsaw, that there is still a Polish army of 60,000 men in the neigh bourhood of the capital, and that a grand attack against the Russians is again in contemplation. The following are extracts from these Pipers : ST. PETERSBURG'', SEPT. 7.—By an order of the day dated Zarskojeselo, the 3d instant, his Majesty has been pleased to make numerous changes, promotions, and no minations in the army and navy. Among them is the no mination of the Grand Duke Constantine (the Emperor's second son) to the rank of High Admiral. A report addressed to his Majesty by Field-Marshal Paskewitsch, dated from Nadarzyn, Aug. 28., relates the 'unction of General Kreutz with the main army, the oc cupation of Kalisch by General Knorring, and details the operations of General Rosen, who was attacked by a Polish corps of more than 20,000 men, with 38 pieces of cannon, under General Romarino, which after leaving Praga at first marched towards Osiek, and seemed to in tend to pass the Vistula and act on the rear of the mein Russian army, but afterwards turned against General Rosen on the 28th. The Polish force being vastly superior threatened to cut off Rosen's communications with Braesc- Litewski. The General took measures to cover that im portant point, and had to sustain many attacks from the Poles. After he had resisted them for two suc cessive days, seeing the object of the operations which had been prescribed him had succeeded by drawing a conside rable corps of the rebels to a great distance frown Warsaw, he proceeded in the night of the 29th to Brzesc, the com munication with which was already interrupted, and en tered the town with his whole corps, and all his artillery, on the 31st, not having been molested on his march by the enemy, whose farther plans were not known. !MUDS 07' FOREIGN FUNDS Austrian Bonds Brazilian Bonds 48 Buenos Ayres Bonds Chilian Bonds Colombian Bonds Ditto, 1894 Danish Creek Bonds Ditto, 1825 Guatimala.

WOLTENBUTTEL, SETT. 12.—A letter has been received by the Consistory, stating that the cholera had been brought from Berlin to a village near Dessau—(another received at Brunswick says the village is Brudko, two leagues from Dessau, on the other side of the Elbe)—and that the person who brought it died soon afterwards. The place is surrounded, and we do not hear that the disorder has spread. CASSEL, SEPT. is affirmed that in an extraor dinary sitting of the Estates to-day, a project of law was presented by the Government to the effect that the Elec • tor, to relieve himself from part of the burden of the affairs of Government, and to initiate the Electoral Prince into them, h is resolved to take his Royal Highness as Co- Regent, and that till the Elector shall leave his pi e..Tnt place of abode, and again fix his residence permanently at Cassel, the Electoral Prince shall alone direct the atl•airs of the Government. BERLIN, SEPT. I7.—(From a Letter.)—Lieut. Von Seidlitz, who was at the Russian head-quarters, as Aidc de.camp to Colonel Count Yanitz, arrived here, and brought the most satisfactory accounts from Warsaw. It is said, however, that some corps of the Polish army will hear nothing of a capitulation, and it is possible that the Russians may have to carry on a partisan war for a time in some of the provinces. BERLIN, SEPT. I6.—Accounts from Warsaw state that a part of the Polish army under Dembinski remains in Praga, and that the main army is in Plozk. Count Paskewitsch has not recovered from his wound, and is at the Belvidere. FROM THE POLISH FRONTIERS, SEPT. 14.--It ap pears from letters from the Polish army, of the sth inst. that there was no expectation of the decisive blow which was followed by the capitulation of Warsaw. It seems that all the Polish troops were on their march to execute a great plan of operations. The capital was in a great measure destitute of regular troops, and it was hoped that the National Guard and the artillery would be able to de fend the city for a week at least. The result has proved that this was a mistaken notion. The Polish Generals have, therefore, signed a capitulation, in order to avert a still greater misfortune from the inhabitants who have already suffered so much. In Warsaw itself a gloomy tranquillity prevails. The post with foreign countries was not yet reestablished, because the communication was net fully received. Ac. eording to private accounts the loss on both sides was much greater than the statements hitherto received make it. Thirty thousand killed and wounded are spoken of, one-third of whom are Poles. The motives and intentions of the Polish army are still involved in obscurity, and the violent party seem not to have renounced all h o p e . Th e total amount of all the Polish corps is stated to be still 60,000 men, who think themselves able to resist the Ruf.- t sians, especially if the latter should be obliged to leave garrison of 20,000 or 30,000 men in Warsaw. It we re . he most disamtrous for Poland if the d ou test should be re. newed, as •.vithout foreign aid, which would lead t.r. neral war, a successful result could hardly be thought We have this morning received the folio n! infbrmation from Carthagena, via Fa We trust, however, that it is an ove rchare r statement, and shall wait with some anxiety ° the next arrival : (From the Falmouth Packet, Sept. 21.) llis Majesty's brig Reindeer, Lieut. Dicken, arrives tb d forenoon from Jlmaica, b y which we learn that gon g had been restored among f..e slaves, and every th' , was perfectly quiet. The Reindeer sailed from Carth a g e ; :be 2d of August, front Jamaica the 17th, and from t Cma,y Island the 26th. On freight 100,000 dollars. Falmouth Packet Office, Saturday Evening', By the Reindeereve have received the following ne":' : Carthagena is in a most wretched state. The eg.i t completely under the controul of the rabble. The cat`( of St. Joseph, at the entrance of Boca Chica, is f ull 4 prisoners, amongst whom are Colonels Crofton 7111(1 Chlt":1; Englishmen, late in the Colombian service. The Eg il ' o mereh ins are constantly insulted, and the Consullol, was publicly abused the day the packet left. Strong monstrances had been made without effect. het " The recent discussion in the French Chars - 1 of Deputies, on the petition for the removal the remains of NAPOLEON to the Place N 7 ° l ' dome, is of a character tending very much t o ail' to the agitation of the public mind in Franc e ' The affection with which the memory of NA r ° ' LEON is cherished by the mass of the people; and especially by those classes who are the 1 05 accustomed to reflect on the real character of that remarkable man, is too notorious to requi te t ! comment ; and at a period like the preset' nothing can be more calculated to inflame th e military ardour, that has so long been r estraine d '; than a proposition for the restoration of the . EMPEROR'S bones to the French people, wh ° were partakers of his glories. Whatever tin" favourable results the Government might a nt !' cipate from the concession of such a proposal, the not very probable event of its being con sents b “ to by Great Brit a in a nd the allies, it mus t e confessed th a t it wou ld not be v e ry inconsis tent that the body of NAPOLEON should be e r e tombed in th e F renc h ca pit a l, w hi c h, since t' s revolution of last year, abounds with his ire a g e a l on the public arches and works, in the nat i°ll p , galleries, i n th e s h o p s , i n th e sa l ons , a nd e le where el se w h ere it was possible' to restore olr place them. That the French people cherish the mer e of NAPOLEON is indisputable, but it must 11 . 1 he inferred from thence that the Bonaparte party, such as General LANIARQUE, or AL DE RICHEMONT, are by any means the most 11 ' 4 fluential in France. The most experiences patriots, like LAFAYETTE, who were Menib et of the Constitu en t A sse mbly, and have seen 01e Cup of Liberty dashed from the lips of tb : people again and again, know that ICArozO'd was never the real friend of free institutions , e tn it are disposed to recommend the nation to W e back rather to the stern principles which vi er ( recognised in 1791, than to the vain g lories ti e the Empire. After the three days of July, thd promise of Republican Institutions to s urroun a the new Monarchy was distinctly held out, wil e s the people recognized Louis PHILIPPE their Citizen King. The nation confidently petted that it should be put into quiet possessi oll of liberty and e qu a lity, an d th a t a ll those abils es and monopolies which interfered with the publi c interest should be brought to a final end. The Doctrinaire Cabinet first selected 1 4 LOUIS PHILIPPE soon displayed its ignorance of the wants of the nation, and the succeed in g Ministry of LAFITTE had either not time, °r vigour, enough to do what alone could h al ( kept it in office. The juste milieu system ° the present Cabinet, be its theoretical merits shat they may, is not in the l eas t likelY t n c satisfy the gener a l w i s h e s, and appe a rs daily' too draw upon itself more and more ridicule 3° opposition. We have before alluded to 18 points on which it is at variance with th e national voice, but its grand error lies in e° l / 1 ; sidering the people as children who do not their own interest, and call frivolously for furth er changes, though they have got a citizen Kid' instead of a King by divine right. There ne ler was a greater mistake than to assume that the re is a want of reflection in those who direct the public mind in France. All public questia there are considered on reasonable, we 111$) ; almost say on philosophical, principles, as proof of which we need only refer to the or nions of the Journals on the project of the Peerage. From the speech of M. PEntrit ° e that project, he would seem fully aware of t h i strength of opini on w ith w hi c h he has to de 3 ; and yet he has proposed a measure which, b must know, cannot stand the test of examina oP Whether the composition of the Committee t whom it has been referred be sufficiently s ubse t ' vient to Ministerial views to ensure its adoption' is not yet ascertained, but at all events it is ihr possible that it can be the permanent law of country like regenerated France. " • Much disappointment is said to prevail i Paris at the ready compliance with the wishes ° the Conference in regard to the withdrawal frog' Belgium of the French troops. When we 311 ' nounced the fact of the retirement, we ell ; deavou red to - explain that this could l' ° ,l be otherwise, seeing that France had ae te not men) moll:, but as the agent of the Con' ference. France has, however, by her promptitu de ; secured to herself a share of gratitude fr ot h the Belgians which none of die other parties the Conference have a right to expect. A belie` has become prevalent that France is likelY to separate herself from the Conference, owing t , the continual intrigues of the three members of It whose real object is to do to Belgium the I°3st possible quantity of good, and the alleged 511 ' pineness, to those intrigues, of the British 11 binet. The French Government has, as , 3 1 must admit, acted with perfect good faith, an d t hat good faith be not returned, and the spirit ° the protocols followed up, the end will probably be the separation of France from the Conference' and the formation of an intimate alliance between her and Belgi u m, which the Allies profess to be ~ so anxious to a void. The Belgian question I! any thing but settled, and it is evident that it 1 0t of f 'I s a f e at 13 Chaai t 1 tti r nay Cat al ) ; our
