Coe large and populous towns been 'deprived of their proposed re presentotives—those towns to whitt the Anti-Reformers were now willing 'co grant the elective franchise, hTY:ztuse they could no longer withhold it.—(Hear, heir.) The Right Hen. Gentleman admitted that S great majority of that House wrre in favour of the Reform Bill. He also admitted that a majority of the country were in favour of the Bill. But he denied that the maf,orlty of the country on the subject bore any ropot•tion to the majority of that House. In support of this position the Right Honourable Gentlomat referred to the recent elections; and maint:tried that in :76,000 voters who polle4, the majority in favottr of the Reform Bill Was no nvm.e than 1,6(10. lint what did that reeve? Merely that great exertions had been mark by those who had no doubt had a deep personal iate-..est in the question.-- (Hear.) But would the 'fight Hon. Gentleman include the numbers who wottld have voted, if in every populous town the sense of tie people had been taken, as well as expre,: a d Hoar.) Would the Right Hon. Gentlem in tell the 1-Imi , e from how many mantles, hitherto the bor t-.(ls cif Te'd yis to, the Anti-Reformers had been obliged to fly without the shadow of a chance?-(Hear, hear.) Would the Right Hon. Gentleman tell the House that of all the county Members of England there were but six who were prepared to vote against the Bill?—(Rear, hear.) The Right Hon. Gentleman had chosen to select as an ex - ampleof lukewarmness in the cause of Reform—and he Mi r. Stanley) had been astonished- to hear him—the county of Northampton. It was a close-run election he (Mr. S.) al lowed. But what were the facts? That his Noble Friend c tme to the poll with the Reform Bill- in his band, and was elected, and that his Noble Friend's late colleague, than whom' a more honourable rind recpeetable man never lived ) came to the poll in avowed opposition to Reform, and was rejected ; and not only was that Hon. Gentleman rejected, but a Noble Lord was chosen his surressor, on the ground of his adherence to the ranee of Reform.— ( Hear, hear.) Like other Hon. Members, the Right Hon. Gentleman had, in the course of his speech, made. an apr,eal to the feelings of the House of Lord's; he had iven them very wise cnunteJl, which he t Mr. Stanley) trusted they would not follow; aurl he had prophesied what the conduct of the House of Commons would he when the Bill should return to them anaendvtl by the Upper House. In illustrating this paint, the night Hon. Gentleman had taken up what had fallen from his lion. Friend the Member for Caine respecting the French Nobles ; and had Ileclared that their fate was attri butable to their 'weak and vacillating conduct. Now there was a gr ea t diff erence between lust firmness and blind obstinacy. Th ere was a great t ifference between a sober and a. temperate assertion of right, and the vacillating conduct of one who, having held any posses sion with tenacious grasp to the last moment, was at that lam moment compelled, not to give up, but tO drop the hand which had no longer the power of clutching.-- (Loud cries of . "Hear, hear, hear.") It was not because the French * Nobles had granted, but because they had granted toa late; not because they granted to just and rea sonable argument, but because they granted to threats and intimidation, that they bad fallen.--(Loud cheers from br i.h sides of the House.) The Right Hon. Gentleman said if the Peers of England should (which God ftrbid) throw out the Reform Bill, and so declare themselves in open hostility to the declared wish and will of the people of England—(Cries of " No, no")—he repeated, to the declared wish and will of the people of England—declared respectfully, but firmly—there would be no Republic. He (Mr. Stanley) perfectly agreed with the Right Hon. Gentleman. There would be no' Republic, for there would be no attempt to establish one. —(Hear, hear.) The people of England were not imbued with republican prinriples. And when the Right Hon. Gentleman main tained that, acting on the principle of the Bill, and pro ceedin further and further on that abstract principle, be coatid not see 'what security there was against their going to a dangerous extent, subversive of the Throne and of the established institutions of the country, he would tell the. Right Hon. Gentleman that it was this— a the security for the stability of the Throne, and of the established institutions of the country was the same as the secunty for the passing of the ; it was the deep-rooted, heavy, and persevering force of public opinion.—(Hear, hear.) It was the yielding to that opinion which, sooner or later (and the sooner the safer,) would effectually maintain the prerogatives of the Crown, and the privileges of the Peers. The English loved mo narchy. More than any other nation they resPected Ari stocracy. They especially respected the Aristocracy of their own country, because they did not see in that Aristo cracy what they saw in the Aristocracy of other countries— they did not see the Aristocracy of their own country placed in broad opposition to the other classes of the com sunnity—they did not see a determined and impassable line of demarcation drawn between them ; but, on the contrary, saw the division blended and softened so as to be scarcely discernible.— (Hear.) Thank God ! there were no privileged classes in this country—no higher orders, exempt from taxes or other contributions to the service of the State ;or claiming offensive distinction. Their rights as hereditary Peers and legislators the people had no wish to take from them, because the people believed that those rights were vested in them for the benefit, and not for tl e injury of their common country. He, thereore, (Mr. Stan ley) said, with the Right Hon. Gentleman, that if the House of Lords refused to pass this Bill, there would be no Republic. But, although there would be no Republic, the Peers might sustain some pressure from the disgust and aversion which such conduct would generate on the part of the people, who might, perhaps be led to consider them as their natural oppressors—as persons desirous of wresting from the people that to which they had no right, by the assumption of privileges to which they had no claim. The Right Hon. Gentleman consoled himself with the reflection, that, whatever might happen, he had done his duty. He (Mr. Stanley) on his pot, whatever might happen—and he trusted, and had indeed no deobt, that before six months bad expired the Bill would he the liw of the land—wou'd have the satisfac tion, in common with all the friends of the measure (a satisfaction which they would carry with them to the end of their live.), of having attempted, and lie was confident it would prove successfully, to establish a measure, which would be received by a grateful people as the strengthening and consolidation of their liberties. The Right Hon. Gentleman sat down amidst Muni cheers. On the motion of an HON. Meatnest the debate was then adjourned to this day. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at a Quarter past One o'clock. FRANCE. (From the Morning Chronicle.) AGITATION AND TUMULT IN PARIS. PARIS, SEPT. 18. Paris is in a state of agitation difficult to describe, and of dissatisfaction which cannot be'expt essed ! I have told you it would come to thi.. and I have predicted that the fall of Poland would lead to consequences of a general, serious, and important character in France. The agita Con which is felt in Paris is general. It is, not the agita tion merely of grief, or disappointment, or surprise; but it is the , agitation of a profound sentiment of national in , dignation and national anger. It is not the agitation of the surface of soc'ety. or of the surface of human feelings, •prejutlices, and anxieties, bat it is a deep, profound, settled feeling of as,itati , ,n, similar to that which a man woul,l feel if he saw the prospect of being deprived by death of all his woi Idly hopes, the loss of friends, relationsjortune, home, and reputation. Do not deceive yourself or let others deceive you by ti.c belief that it is the agitation of the moment. No such thing. The agitation is not that of a party, but of all partiei; not of Nspolconists alone, or Republicans alone, or patriots alone, or of the war party alone, or of , the faubourgs, or of the students, or of the Ecole Poly techniques alone. No, no ; it is the agitation of all classes, and all opinions, and all students, and all schools, and all journals; and every one who is not a pl Leeman or a rentier, exclaims, "We can go on so no longer." if the Courtier Francais, the National, the Constitu tionnel, the Temps, and the Journal du Commerce for the moment beg the citizens to wait—to create no distur bances —to attend the result of the debates, which will canunen , . morrow in the Chamber of Deputies, and to leave . -,.representatives of France the duty of over throwin present system, without disturbing the very basis o .litical existence, it is because they hope and believe t. 't the results of this discussion will be to make war for Poland—to overthrow thejuste-milieu system—to send back to his bank and his iron mills the commercial Minister of France, RI. Caaimir Perier, and convince Louis Philip that France will not be .hunailiated—and that the ques tions of peace or war, Belgium, P or t uga l, I ta l y , an d Spain, must indeed be placed on- a very different footing. But should these expectations he most-unexpectedly dis appointed—should the Chamber approve the system of Perier by any vote such as it has not yet come to, and should our President of the Council obstinately refuse to leave the helm of public affairs, andpersistinarsetefeorrinftitiheer vessel upon rocks or quicksands, then preP language, for other conduct, for other policy,antl loitoortahner.. proceedings ; and prepare, should it be necessary, other, and even an immediate revolu tion ! Remember what I have often told you. Franc (will not be cajoled i r out of either the plinLipic of the cuiriequences of the Re volution of July, 1830. The tumults in Paris Burin; the whole uf yesterday, and which have been resumed to day with increased vio lence, were made not by Cat lists in the disguise of work men—and not by priests, with blue smock frocks a n d slum nm , tachoes—and not by the violent portion of the t-cp',lblican party—but by rich and poor, learned and 4,- onrant, young and old, workmen and shopkeepers, men and women, boys and girls—by, in fine, all classes, ranks, ages, sexes, and opinions. When the journals of the Mi niver speak of a few hundred individuals having done this thing —and of a few hundred pr.rsotts having done that— they deceive only those rilvo did not see Paris, and did not behold the scer.es In which their statements refer. Not hundreds but thousands, and not thousands but tens of thousands, you may with safety state, did this and that— and all Paris, from the Barrier du Trone to that of infer, and from that of Roule to that of Mtntmaitre—all Paris was in a st ate of agitation and of tumult. In some places orators addressttl the multitude, and cried, " Vive la Pologue ) " as on the Place de I'Odeon. In other places orators exhibited placards, and cried " A his Its Ministres," as in the Palais Royal. In other places they compelled M. Perier and M. Mebastiani to quit their voiture and take refuge it the Hotel of the Minister of Justice, as on the Place Vendome. In other places the people overthrew the omnibusses, to make barricades in order to prevent the cava'ry from charging them, as op posite the Cafe de Paris and on mitt Boulevard Mont martre. In other places they entered the theatres, as in that of Nouveautes, Varittes, and hailer', and compelled the actors to retfrO from the stage, and discontinue their perfortnaheeN Indeed, everywhere the theatres were dosed, " Retire, retire ! ' cried the celebrated rontan, at the Theatre des Nouveautes, " and do not seek to amuse us with your follies, Whilst our brethren in Poland are being massacred," In other places the common people sought for arms, and entered the shops of firtn-akm mann fattUrert, and thus sought to defend themselves front the swords of the Municipal Marils and the trampling of the cavalry. The tlaims beat to arms in every direction, hut the N'ational Guards were deaf to the sound, and out of a battalion of 2,400 National Guards, only 103 men made their appearance. The 2,300 who refused to at tend, thus showed the nature of their opinions, and how dangerous it is to trlae with national honour and n ttional feeling, It other quarters the troops of the line refused to bayonet the people, and contented themselves with en treating the citizens to retire. In other parts the " pas sages," similar to your Burlington Arcade, were encum bered with people who barricaded the entrances, and there sung the Marseillaise till the hour of midnight. In vain did the foot police entreat, protest, and fight their way through the dense masses of people in the environs of the Palais Royal—and every where the cry was heard of " A has les Ministres" " A bag Casimir Perier," " Vive la Pologne," and " Vive la Liberte." Nor must you suppose that this agitation and these tu mults are without object, any more than they are without cause. The object is clear, avowed, distinct, national. It is to overthrow the Perier Adtninistration—to obtain the nomination of a popular Ministry—to compel, by force of arms if necessary, the Russian army to re-cross the Vis tola—to secure the independence of Poland—the real in dependence of Belgium—the dethroning of Don Miguel— the liberty of Italy—a popular and national representation in France—and the benefit, full and unrestrained, of the revolution of July. But the moments are precious. We have no time to spare. The National Guards will no longer march against the people en masse, to support the Minister of the hour. The drum beats in vain ; and, before it be too 1 de, I hope that France will be saved from the sad consequences of civil war. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (From the Times.) We have just received the Paris Journals of Monday, and some dated yesterday, together with several letters from our corre spondents. The state of Paris continued unquiet. At an early hour on Monday morning several Deputies re paired to the Chamber to inscribe their names upon the list of speakers upon the Peerage law, the report of which was fixed for reception on that day. The Secretaries were not, however, to take their places before the usual hour; but at eight o'clock in the morning the passages to the houses were beset by Members preparing provisional lists of names to speak against the project. The Chamber was crowded to excess. The Dey of Algiers was in the Diplomatic box: At two o'clock M. Berenger, the Reporter of the Commission, appeared with the report of the Peerage law ; it was extremely long, and occupied considerable time in the reading. It com menced by examining the right of the Peers to join in the dis_ cussion of this question, and observed that the chain which united the two Chambers in legislative consultation had never been broken ; that on the 3d of August, 1830, the Session had been opened fly the Lieut -General of the Kingdom in the presence of he two Chambers ; that they had both deliberated upon and voted for the revision of the Charter • that on the 7th of August Louis Pbilip swore to support the Charter in the presence of the two Chambers ; in a wor,j, that both had concurred in re-modelling the Constitut.on. From this the report concluded that the two Chambers have an equal right to take part in the discussion of the aid article, which was now to be revised. It repelled the opinion of those who had called for the intervention of thepri mary assemblies in the consideration of the national affairs, an opinion which would be to recall chaos.—(Applause from the se cond section of the le:t.) The report then examined the connexion which existed be tween two such Chambers in the various Constitutional Govern ments, and insisted from thence that the Peers ought to be a moderating power, and differing in its composition and object to that of an elected Chamber. The mission of the Chamber o' Peers was to arrest, in certain cases, the progress of events. The basis of this Chamber being thus fixed, it was necessary to ex amine if the nomination of Peers ought to be effected by popular election, by lists of candidates, or directly by the King. If the electoral mode be employed, whatever be its conditions or modifications, the Chamber of Peers would soon become a Chamber of Deputies, thus giving two similar Cham bers. The principle of election was not compatible with immoveability. The commission therefore rejected the principle of election. As to the election by lists of candidates, it would be merely a fiction, and always easy to force the will of the King, by joining with the persons whom popular feeling might wish to appoint to the Peerage, other persons notoriously incapable and unfit. The direct appointment of 'Peers becomes then indispen. sable, but it will be for Ministers a source of great responsibility. The reporter then states, that his opinion was decidedly for the hereditary right,—that a Chamber of Peers, as a moderative Chamber, could Have no force without this right. This the re porter declares to be the opinion of the minority of the commis sion. The reporter concluded by announcing to the Chamber, that it was the opinion of the commission that the Peerage should not be hereditary, but for life; that the King should alone be in vested with the right of naming the l'eers ; and that, filially, the present law should be definitive, not provisional, as proposed by the Ministers. The report,in fact, affirmed the whole project of Ministers for re.modelllng the Peerage, except making the measure a defini tive one, and not provisionary. The Chamber was sitting when our express left, but it was said that the questions to Ministers about Poland and Belgium were not to be put on Monday evening. PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE PARIS, MONDAY EVENING. You will see by the Journals what has been the state of this metropolis within the last three days—in fact, since the sad in telligence reached Paris that Warsaw had fallen, after a heroic struggle. The sympathy between France and Poland is obvious, the men of both countries have mingled much together under relations which produce binding ties. The schools of Paris— hot-beds of political excitement—have been filled with young Poles—the saloons last winter were crowded with their Nobles, to say nothing of the host of historical recollections which hun dreds of fields of battle evoke, in which the subjects of the two nations " have kept together in their chivalry." National sen timents have intermixed with individual attachments, and scarcely a private letter has arrived after a combat in Poland with details of losses, in which some Frenchman had not to de plore the death of a friend. History will pass her verdict upon this martyrdom of a heroic race, ana the disease which creeps into the physical system of other States in the track of ruthless and invading barbarians, will avenge the wrongs of a bleeding people, and make their op pressors tremble. The effect of this sad Polish news here was, as usual, " a movement." I have seen all the riots of last year; but this last riot, in one respect, differed from them. The people who ga thered into street crowds were better dressed than the mobs which beset the Luxembourg Palace during the trial of the Mi. lusters, and pulled down the Archbishop's dwelling. The young men of the schools, and persons apparently mixing a good deal in society, were the rioters of yesterday and Saturday ; few of them were without strong sticks, and many, I believe, had con cealed fire-arms; loaded istols were, indeed, found upon some prisoners. I certainly did not see the working people so much engaged in these last crowds as they were in the previous ones. Besides this difference in the class of men who composed these last street crowds, there was also another and a very serious dis tinction observable. The National Guards did not answer well to the rappel. I have spoken to many who frankly avowed, that they would not take up arms to extinguish popular sympathy for the Poles. It is right, however, to admit that enough did assemble to preserve the public peace, but there were thousands of others who heard with inattention their drum beat to arms. The regi ments of the line, cavalry and infantry, were out in greater force than I remember to have previously seen them in the streets, and they turned a deaf car from the insidious hints of " Long live the Line," which were uttered by the crowd, and rode over numbers of people by word of command, when the order for die. persion was pronounced. The gunsmiths' shops were plundered, and in three or four placetithe people resisted the authorities by flinging stones and attempting to erect barriers ; these attempts were quite fruitless, and some bayonet and sabre wounds were inflicted on the occa sion; but no loss of life, as far as I can learn, except that of a young man who was killed near the Exchange by the explosion ofa pistol in his waistcoat-pocket. There have been a great number of arrests by the police, and a republican club was sur prised, it is said, in full divan, while engaged in preparing a plan of insurrection. There is a great fermentation of party spirit, and evidently a want of moral strength in the Govern ment. They are strong enough to repress these ebul itions of popular feeling when they arise, but they are unequal to the pre vention of their recurrence. There are crowds in the vicinity of the Palms Royal, near the This day the general appearance of the city is not tran q uil.— Chamber of Deputies, and at the Exchange, but they appear to be composed of persons assembled rather out of curiosity than tumult. The garrison are all under arms, and I see not the least chance of serious popular outrage. The people every where yield to the movements of the troops and the police. Still the crowds move from place to place, and the expressions used at times indicate very restless feelings. When the Mini sters are personally assailed in the streets, as was the case popularity,yes terday,—whensuchistcoreantteidnuwei,tihdidsgisurieegtaurdde,—. i Allt is dibttiu business s tO i s fo h r e e r s e e e a t t h a e terday,—when the King, who mostly has enjoyed individual result e I a ra n troops are forming in the Place Vendome the 1 1 arms ' stand. Whilst I write the drums are beating t a la positivelyi s Royal, r a e formed d thequay that in several o t f h e t Chamber he Nationoalf (guards activity ui n fvsu d its yea t in h nto ade to the act this day, and that reports to that effect have General Staff. However, I see that enough are ee i n n o repress mischief : every where, in fact, the soldiers me to act. There is a good deal of political rancour abr a iL l C e i ranch of pinching distress among the people ; these are bad in.d gredients for assuring tepes'e ; neVertheless T cannot see the im minent danger which some persons'are ringing in my ears. The funds rallied this day, the monied men having, as I learn, matte a strong effort to sustain the present Minister and the King, against the movement party. On the whole, the appear anees at four o'clock are calmer than they were two hours ago, and the people were everywhere gradually dispersing. Y. (From the Monitcul• of Monday.) Fresh attempts at disorder oebared this day (Sunday), but the presence of an imposing military force, and the attitude of the population discouraged the malevolent, and frustrated all their designs. They undertook nothing which was not on the instant fepressed, and in the evening the streets of the capital were as clear as upon days of the greatest tranquillity. Between twelve and one o'clock in the day, a tolerably nu merous assemblage was formed in the garden and court of the Palais Royal. The most culpable cries and vociferatiohs were heard ; strong detachments of the National Girard and infantry of the line soon arrived; and immediately cleared the court and the galleries,bnt lint without some resistance. The most riotous were arrested. Once driven from the Palace, the crowd was soon completes) , dispersed; but towards six o'clock in the evening they again collected upon the Place of the Palais Royal, and at the entrance of the street St. Honore up to Rue du Coq. Two troops of Ca valry soon re-established the passgge of the neighbourhood, while the town serjeants blade several arrests. almost all of them designated t*y the information given by citizens. Dttrtng this time strong battalions of the National Utiards were stationed on the boulevards , where their presenc. , prevented disorder. . It remains to us to signalize the most important incident of the day,—the arrest of about 20 individuals, who were shut up in the house of M. Dulemisolt, A wine -seller, in the little street of St. Louis, to project, as it would seem, the disorders for the evening. The authorities, apprised in time of this intention, be_ set the house; the disturbers finding themselves infested, bar. fielded themselves within doors, and refused to obey the sum monses of the Commissary of Police, to open in the name of the law. They were then obliged to break open the door, and all who were found in the house were taken before the Prefect of the Police. In the number taken was M. Chauvin, a member of the Society of the Friends of the People, one of those who was tried and acquitted With Sambuc, and a man named Blanchard, called Silverehin, one Of the 'offidert of the division of La Croix. A pair of loaded pistols Weft found upon Chauvin; the ethers also carried arms. Important discoveries may be expected to re sult from tifesb artests. Tht teal of the National Guard, of the troops of the line, and the Municipal Guard, was not for a moment relaxed ; it is more indefatigable than the obstinacy of those who bring it to the test. We must also notice the intrepidity and devotion of the town serjeants who bravely exposed themselves in order tp make ar rests in the midst of the groups, and many of whom were even grievously wounded. Marshal Count Lobat, who actively directed all the measures of the day, appeared in all quarters at the head of his staff. If similar attempts are renewed to-morrow, measures are already taken for repressing them with the same promptitude and efficacy. (From the Morning Herald.) The Paris Journals of Monday, those dated yesterday, and let ters from our Private Correspondent, have this instant reached us by express; their contents arc various, and of importance. At the date of our Correspondent's letter (Monday evening, four o'clock), Paris was in a state of excitement—but up to that moment no acts of violence had been committed by or on the po pulace, who had assembled in seVeral quarters, but particularly in the neighbourhood of the Chamber of Deputies. The National Guards mustered rather more numerously on Sunday than on Saturday, but were still far from displaying their former alacrity. Those of the s'lu Legion have addressed the Representative of their arrondisement in the Chamber of Deputies (M. Eusebe de Salverte), condemnatory of Ministers, and of the measures resorted to by the authorities for the repres sion of public feeling. Vast numbers of arrests took place on Saturday and Sunday. From many of the groups on the former day cries of .‘ Five l'Empereur ! Fire Napoleon 11.," and of Viva la Republique," issued. A club was denounced on Sunday—the members, to the number of twenty, were arrested—among them was M. Chau vin, who, it will be recollected, figured on former similar oc casions, and particularly in the conspiracy of which a M. Sam here was the head, and for which he was tried and acquitted. It is said that it was this club which directed some attempts to form barricades on Saturday. The Funds recovered in some degree on Monday. The report of the Committee on the Peerage was presented to the Chamber of Deputies on Monday, but, of course, was not discussed. It was deemed probable that the debate on the in. ternal and foreign affairs of France fixed for that day would be postponed to yesterday (Tuesday). Rome is still in a state of agitation, but through the inter ference of the French Ambassador, perfect tranquility has, in all likelihood, ere this, been restored. The cholera continued to make dreadful ravages at Berlin.— Now disturbances had broken out at Stettin, but they were easily repressed. The following are extracts : CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES, SErr. 19. At twelve o'clock M. Girod de l'Ain, the President, took the Chair. On our way to the Chamber we found numerous groups formed in the Tuileries gardens, on the Place and Bridge de la Revolu tion, and every avenue leading to the Chamber of Deputies. A regiment of Carabineers and 500 National Guards were drawn up in the court and square of the Palace. Orators were spout ing in every group, the fate of Poland and the Perier Ministry being the topic of all the conversations. The Chamber never presented a larger assemblage of Deputies, nor the tribunes (gal leries) a more numerous assemblage of auditors. About one o'clock M. Casimir Perier entered the Hall. Afraid, it would seem, to venture through in his own carriage, he ar rived by a back way in M. d'Argout's coach. ^^^. . Afte; a report on the Budgei'of 1831 and 1832, presented by M. Pelet de la Lozere, amid the noise of private conversation, had subsided, M. Rambuteau rose to move that the Chamber discuss the Budget of 1831 on Wednesday, next, which was agreed to. A profound silence succeeded, when M. Berenger presented the report on the project of the law for the reorganization cf the Peerage. . . . (From the Courier Francais) We have already given details of the insurrection at Neuf chatel to throw off the yoke of Prussia. The following Pro clamation of M. Bourguin, Commander-in-Chief of the insur gents, was issued on the 14th instant : Fellow-citizens of the Canton of Neufchatel!—ln 1806, in opposition to the formal declaration of the Constitution, the King of Prussia, by an act of cession granted to Napoleon, alienated our country, and received in exchange the duchies of Berg and Cleves, which he still preserves. In 1814, the widow of Berthier was despoiled of her rights over us. The country might and ought to have declared itself free and independent; but the Council of State, without consulting the people, and in pursuance of the decision of a majority, and not of the unani- MOUS voice of that assembly, who rather sought to preserve their own places than to promote the welfare and happiness of their fellow-citizens,placed the country again in the hands of the King of Prussia, who at the same time retained possession of those duchies which he had received in exchange. This disastrous re storation, which was nothing less than the result of an alliance between Kings against the people, sanctioned that usurpation and treason against which we now protest. Men of Neufchatel ! You have just won, by your courage, your independence and your sovereignty over this country—you have replaced yourselves in the position in which you stood in 1814. Having achieved thi s conquest, you appointed and proclaimed me your military Corn_ mander-in-Chief. You have created a Provisional Government, which will be immediately Installed, and which you have sworn to obey to the last hour of your lives. Men of Neufchatel ! It was your desire to have a Constituent Assembly ; active measures have been taken that Members for it shall be called from every party of the country, and a Constitution is in preparation which will be founded on the principle of the sovereignty of the people, and equality of civil and political rights. PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. PARIS, MONDAY, Foua O'CLOCK. I have just returned from a tour of nearly all Paris. There is unquestionably much excitement abroad, but, as yet, no appear. ance whatever of any other motive than mere curiosity among the crowds assembled or passing at various points. Around the Chamber of Deputies, on the Place de la Concorde, the Bridge of the same name, the Quays Dorsay, and of the Tuileries, many thousands of men are assembled; but that they had as yet at least no bad objects in view was proved by their unanimous flight on a slight movement, or change of place, by a troop of the Car bineers. In the Tuileries, Louvre, Palais Royal, and, indeed, in every point bearing on the 'loyal residence, nearly the whole garrison of Paris is kept in reserve. Large patroles, however, of troops of the line and National Guards, are continually traversing the same quarters. A battalion of National Guards ►s drawn up in front of the Chancellerie, in the Place Vendome ; but I cannot help observing that those admirable citizens display now less alacrity and unanimity than on former similar occasions. It is even reported that an entire Legion has intimated to Marshal Lobau that they will not interfere in defence of the existing Ministry; but I deem this report totally . unworthy of credit. That the National Guards are divided in opinion on the measures onlinisters, in common with their fellow-citizens, is a fact. expedient to clear the gardens and galleries, particularly as the Cabinet Council was sitting in the Palais Royal. In the evening, about nine o'clock, several lamps and windows were broken in the neighbourhood of the Halle aux Bleu, and it was not until alter several charges of cavalry that the mob was dispersed. 'the same period, information having been received that a party of the promoters of the disturbances were assembled at a wine-shop in the Rue St. Louis, a party of police proceeded thi ther to arrest them. An attempt was made to form a barricade, by throwing down an'omnibus in the Hue St. Honore, near the Rue de Grenelle; but it was instantly frustrated. At this 'moment (half-past 11) every thing appears perfectly tranquil in Paris ; patrols still traverse the city, but they meet with no enemies to combat withal, and we may therefore hope that the storm has entirely blown over, and that the public will await with pat►ence the result of the vital discussion in the Chamber on the late events. Marshal Lobau has issued an order of the day expressive of his warm approbation of the conduct of the National Guard. It is an important circumstance, and strongly indicative of the right feelings of the mass of the population, that tht working classes have kept themselves vrholly rem: Wed from these ementes, which al.pear tH haVe been fostered by a knot of hot-headed stUdefits, who during the College vacations are at tempting to replace lectures in theory by legislation in practice. (rroin the Journal des Debats of Sunday.) BEItLIN, SEPT. 9.—(Extract from a priVate letter.)—The Count de Beaulieu, who had been sent by King Leopold to an. nounce to the Prussian Government his accession to the throne of Belgium, has arrived in this city. He will, however, not be received at Court until the affairs of Belgium are definitively arranged, and until Prussia has formally recognised the kingdom of Belgium. (From the Constitutionnel of Sunday, Sept. 18.) THE DISTURBANCES. On Saturday morning various groups of young men reassembled in the Palais Royal, and appeared disposed to proceed to Neuilly, to demand a change in the Administration ; but about eleven o'clock the King, accompanied by the Duke de Nemours and M. Delaborde, arrived at the Palais Royal, without military escort, and attended by a single out-rider in livery. This mark of confidence produced a good effect, and on descending from the carriage, he was greeted with repeated cries of " Vive le Roi !" In the garden of the Palais Royal, however, the crowds continued to increase ; and several individuals, wearing crape round their arms addressed them in a most inflammatory manner, calling on them to take the cause of Poland in their own hands, and not suffer themselves to be deceived and trifled with by the King and his Ministers :" and one of them fastened to a tree a manuscript placard bearing these words L'heroique Pologne lachement abandonnce est un terrible menace pour vous. Citoyens, n'cn attendex pas les effects. Aux armes!" In the mean time a Council was held at the Palais Royai, which was attended only by Messrs. Spult and d'Argout. Messrs. Se bastiani and Casimir Perier left the Hotel des Affaires Etrangers in the carriage of the former, intending to proceed to the Cham- Ler of Deputies, and thence to the Council, but a mob followed the carriage, and on its arrival in the Place Vendome, two men seized the reins ; the coachman forced the horses on, and a de tachment of the guard stationed at the Etat Major, seeing the danger of the Ministers, marched up to their assistance. Messrs. Perier and Sebastiani then descender! from the carriage, and the former, in a mild but de'ermined manner, addressed a few words of remonstrance to the crowd on their illegal and unreasonable conduct. " If," he said, you want the Ministers, we are here ! What have you to say to us ?" No answer w as returned, and the two Ministers, escorted by the troops, retired into the Chancellerie, where they remained a short time in conference with M. Barthe, and then proceeded to the Chamber. They af terwards joined their colleagues at the Palais Royal. On being oriven out of the Palais Royal, the mob proceeded along the rue Richelieu, where they broke open a gunsmith's shop opposite the Bibliotheque du Roi ; but before they had plundered it of the whole of its contents, a strong party of the military at tacked them, and succeeded in regaining possession of all the arms. As the evening advanced, attempts were made to form barricades on the Boulevards; the young trees planted after the last revo lution were pulled up, and an omnibus and two or three other carriages overturned; but the moment any troops appeared in sight, the cry was, " Sauce qui pent," and the barncadcs were abandoned without a moment's delay, and instantly re moved The absence of any real or organized plan of insurrec tion could not be more fully proved, than by the fact of the total absence of any thing like resistance on the part of the people : on no point did they attempt to make any thing like a stand. The troops in action were principally composed of the line, the National Guards having answered the rappel in very small numbers. Two regiments of carbineers were ordered in from Versailles, and all the troops remained under arms during the evening. The shops were all closed at an early hour, and lights placed in the windows to supply the place of the broken lamps. The last sally of the rioters was directed against such of the theatres, the managers of which had not respected the national feelings of re gret sufficiently to induce them to postpone the performances. The uneasiness felt by the audience. (composed p r i nc ip a lly of English), at the intelligence of what was goin g on w i thout, wa s calmed by Lord Granville joining his family atter the fi rs t act of T a ncredt, and remaining until the end of th e performance. Be fore eleven o'clock the populace had disappeared, and the mili tary patrols were alone to be seen in the streets and on the Boule vards. Yesterday morning the troops were on the alert at an early hour, and the National Guards (particularly the Second Legion) mustered much more respectably than on the preceding day. Nothing of the slightest importance occurred until about two o'clock, when the young men in the gardens of the Palais Royal having sLown a great deal of intemperance, it was considered LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 21, 1831. In the House of Lords last night, Lord BROUGHAM'S Bankruptcy Court Bill was further considered in Committee. Lord LYNDHURST spoke on the subject at great length, praised the talents and defended the utility of the Commissioners, ad mitted that the Courts might be amended with ad vantage, but could not approve of the new plan, which tended to dispense with them altogether. The LORD CHANCELLOR replied in a masterly and unanswerable speech, after which the Bill was or dered to be further considered on Thursday. It is scarcely necessary for us to add that Lord ELDON opposed the Bill. We point attention to the very able speech deli vered by Mr. MACAULEY last night in the House of Commons, on the subject of the Reform Bill. It leaves nothing to be wished for, as regards either style or sentiment. Mr. CHOKER endeavoured, by stale jests and flippant sneers, to weaken the effect of the Hon. Member's eloquence, but it was of no use, not even though he laboured at the oar for at least two hours. The Right Hon. Secretary's humorous, is as offensive and affected as his serious, matter. He adopts the style of the John Bull in the one, and the slang of the Reviewer in the other. Yet he prides himself, if we mis take not, on his powers of wit and sarcasm, and thinks—God bless the mark !—that he is a SIIERIDAN as well as a JUNIUS. Once, we remem ber, he fancied himself a poet ; but the publication of " Talavera" soon dispelled the flattering illusion. Nevertheless, he is as much a poet, as he is a satirist, and as much a satirist as he is a wit. He has a small dose of all in his composition, just sufficient to render him a smatterer, nothing more. But smatterers—even though they tack the magical words " Right Honourable" to their names —are not exactly the sort of persons likely to advance any very striking arguments against a comprehensive question like that of Reform, and we ate quite convinced that Mr. CHOKER will do the cause no great mischief. He may pos sibly tickle by his sneers, or amuse by his pert ness—which after all are not precisely what is most to be, desired or looked for in a statesman neatly sixty years of age—but he will never inspire by his elo quence or convince by his logic. The debate was adjourned, at a late hour, to this day, when it will doubtless be finally settled. We have received the Gazelle de France, dated yesterday, and letters of Monday night. The con tents a: e important. The number of arrests on the 19th was eighty-eight. Reports were circulated in pais that the Ministers had left the capital : (From the Gazette de France of yesterday.) POSEN, SEPT. 6—The Polish cavalry, which was at Orick, has fallen back upon Plock. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (From the Tribune.) The following are the details of the sacking of Warsaw Th e refusal of the Polish army to capitulate, in which they were sup ported by a part of the population, highly irritated the Russians, and they came to the assault with unexampled exasperation. They placed their scaling ladders at so many points, that the 21,000 men of the Polish army were insufficient to protect the whole circuit of the city. The first efforts of the Russians were ineffectual, and they were repulsed at every point; their rage, however, redoubled, and in some places they raised mounds of their dead to fill up the ditches. After thirty hours of almost incessant fighting, they entered by a part of the walls which was not so well guarded as the rest: The Polish army then retired in good order, constantly followed by the Russians, but a part of the po pulace still resolved to hold out, and here the scene b ecame most horrible. Almost all who had taken an active part in the late plitical movements defended themse'ves to the last, and sold their lives dearly. Their resistance redoubled the fury of the Russians; neither women nor their infants were spared. It is said that the agents of several Powers interceded, but the Field Marshal declared that it was impossible for him at the moment to restrain his troops ; on their first entering, he, however, promised that they should be prevented from continuing their plunder and violence. Almost every door that was not opened was forced, and all the horrors of war ensued." It will be seen by our intelligence from Paris, that that capital still continues in a disturbed state. Partial riots have indeed been suppressed, but the spirit of the people has not been put down, nor their understandings convinced by the show of energy put forth by the PERIER Administration. '1 he National Guards, it will be seen, have, in more than one instance, shown considerable reluctance to act against the people,—a significant, and, under the circumstances, an ominous presage. Prussia, too, has refused, for the present, to receive LEO POLD'S Ambassador at Berlin, which is another eventful sign of the times. But indeed the whole Continent is in a state of the most restless inquietude, and all that we see, all that we hear, announces a speedy crisis. wtsTMINsTEit REFORM MEETING. (TIIIB DAY.) In consequence of a requisition most numerously and respec. tably signed by the inhabitants of the city and liberties of West minster, requesting the High Bailiff to call a public meeting for the purpose of petitioning the House of Lords to pass the Reform Bill without any unnecessary delay, a Meeting for that purpose took place this day in Covent-garden market. Shortly after one o'clock Arthur Morris, Esq. (the High Bailiff), accompanied by Sir' F. Burdett, Bart., Sir J. C. Hob. house, Bart., Colonel Jones, Colonel Evans, and a great many other gentlemen, came upon the hustings erected for the pur pose, and were loudly cheered by an immense crowd of persons. The HIGH BAILIFF stated, that in obedience to a requi sition, most respectably signed, which had been presented to him, he had called the present meeting, in order that they might have the opportunity of petitiOning the in. of Lords to pass the Reform Bill. He most cordially joined in the general wish that the Bill might pass, for he saw so much of good in it, that he was confident it would give satisfaction throughout the country.—(Loud cheers.) He was not one' of those who could perceive that revolution would result from it; on the contrary, he believed it would give stability and strength to all our institutions.—(Cheers.) In the view he had always taken of our Constitution he had always considered the House of Lords as the third estate of the realm, and that in all disputes between the King and his people their peculiar province was to act as mediators. But the House of Lords were not in that predica ment now, for the King and his people were going hand and heart together in the attainment of one great object, viz., that of the restoration of the British Constitution, which had been in fringed upon by some of the Members of that illustrious body.— (Cheers.) He would not trespass on the meeting any further, because there were several gentlemen who wished to deliver their sentiments.—(Cheers.) Dr. CARPUE said he was one of the middling classes of so. ciety,—a class of which it had been said by the boroughmongers that they had no feeling or judgment; but he appealed to the electors of Westminster if it were not clear they had judgment, when they elected such men for their representatives as those who were now present, Sir F. Burdett and Sir J. C. Hobhouse —(Lotid cheers)—gentlemen who had fought for the cause of Reform during very many years, and who were the terror of the boroughmongers.—(Cheers.) The electors had been pursuing the cause of Reform for a long period--they had been tugging hard against the tide of corruption—they had stemmed the cur rent, but they kept on their oars and continued their exertions, and now that they had a Royal' Pilot—their King having taken the helm, there could be no doubt that before long they would arrive at wished-for port of Reform.—(Loud cheers.) It had been said that the House of Lords would not pass the Bill—(Cries of " They must—they shall!")—it was "a weak in vention of the enemy." The House of Lords not pass the Bill! Was there the least probability they would not pass the Bill? Would the House of Lords oppose the united will of the King and his people? Never, never, never! It was said that the people did not possess feeling. It was not true, for they were very sensitive; give them but a patriotic King, the real father of his people, and they would wear him in their hearts' core, as they now wore our glorious King William.—(Loud and im. mensc cheering.) Within these few days, he (Dr. Carpue) had been in the House of Commons, and heard a gentleman who represented a rotten borough speak for an hour and say nothing—(Laughter)— but he had heard one individual, that great and excellent patriot, Lord John Russell, say, in answer to that gentleman, "but I beg to inform the Hon. Member that the Bill will pass ;" and it was utterly impossible that any set of Englishmen should be so forgetful of their duty_to their country as to refuse what the people wished, and therefore he trusted that the Lords would unanimously pass the Bill heers.) Dr. Carpue concluded by moving as a resolution " that a petition be presented to the House of Lords, praying that their Lordships would be pleased to pass the Bill for amending the representa tion of the Commons House of Parliament."—(Cheers.) Mr. T. T. CLARK; in seconding the motion, said he believed that he would be expected to make a speech, but he could assure the meeting he was but a poor simple country squire, and un use Ito address public assemblies. He begged, however, to put a plain but not unimportant question at this period, and one which was familiar in almost every person's mouth, " what will the Peers do ?" Now, without being any thing of a conjuror, he could answer the question in this manner: suppose he were walking in Hyde-park with a friend, and saw on the banks of the Serpentine a moody old gentleman, suppose Lord Eldon for in stance—(Loud laughter)—and his friend were to say to him, " I believe that old gentleman means to throw himself into the water;" he would reply, "it is very probable." —(Laughter.) But suppose, instead of one person there were 200 or 300, and' his friend were to say to him, Hang me, but all those good-looking personages are about to throw themselves into the river;" his reply then would be, " No, hang me if I think they will." That was his answer to the question, and by the same mode of reasoning he believed the House of Peers would pass the Bill.—(Cheers.) The HIGH BAILIFF having put the question, it was carried unanimously, and amidst loud cheers. Dr. CARPUE then came forward and read the following pe tition : THE RIGHT HONOURABLE THE LORDS SPI RITUAL AND TEMPORAL IN PARLIAMENT ASSEMBLED. "THE HUMBLE PETITION OF THE INHABITANT HOt SEHOLDERS OF THE CITY AND LIBERTY OF WESTMINSTER. _ _ Sheweth,LasYYWWletiiconers have for many years past been convinced, that nothing but a Reform in the representation of the people in the Commons House of Parliament can avert from these realms the most afflicting calamities. That they often eetitioned for such Reform, but the Parlia ment disregarded their petitions. That when all hope of Reform, without convulsion, had become nearly extinct, they were cheered by the declaration of his Ma jesty's Ministers, that they, with the concurrence of hi. Majesty, had determined to propose a Reform that could not fail to give satisfaction to the people. That his Majesty's Ministers having proposed such a Reform, the then House of Commons, the majority of whom being re tuned by the most corrupt means, opposed all Reform; and thereupon the King, from a paternal regard for his subjects, dis solved Parliament, and appealed to the sense of his people. That notwithstanding the disadvantages under which the people laboured, the corrupt practices of their opponents, the number of persons who had the power of returning Members as their own nominees, and the still larger number by undue influence and in timidation, such was the ready and firm answer of the independ ent electors, that they returned a considerable majority of Mem bers to the present House of Commons, pledged to support the Bill for Reforming the representation. That your petitioners trace most of the great and nearly over whelming evils which they endure to the want of a House of Commons actually elected by and duly representing the people ; and to this imperfect state of representation your petitioners attri bute the existing enormous load of debt—the intolerable burden of taxation—the obstructions to trade, manufactures, and com merce—and the pauperism and demoralization of the people. That your petitioners are convinced that your Lordships must in your wisdom perceive, that nothing :hod of the Reform pro posed by his Majesty's Ministers can restore to this country hap piness and prosperity. Your petitioners, therefore, most fervently and humbly pra , that, to prevent tumult, bloodshed, and revolution, and to preserve the Government as by law established, your Lordships will be pleased to pass the Bills for amending the representation of the people. And your petitioners will ever pray. Signed, in behalf of the Inhabitant Householders, Electsrs of Westminster, in Public Meeting duly assembled, this 21st day of September, 1831. Mr. DE VERE moved that the petition to the House of Lords, which had just been re •d, be adopted. Mr. POUNSER, in seconding it, said there were some per sons so blind to the feelings of the people, as to declare they had grown cool in the cause of Reform ; they had mistaken the calm ness of confidence in their success for the calmness of indiffer ence, and it was to show that the people were not as they had been described to be that the present meeting was called. He could not suppose the Lords to be so indifferent to the feeling of the whole of the British people as to refuse to pass the Bill, when they had the example of our gracious King, who reigned truly and firmly in the hearts of his loyal and devoted subjects.— ( Loud cheers.) The petition was then carried with loud applause. Mr. BAINBRIDGE said he would not now enter into the details of the Reform Bill, which was so fidly understood by the people that it would be an act of supererogation to do so. The present week would convince those who abused the people that their ardour in the cause had not cooled, and that there was no power on earth to prevent the attainment of their wishes. (Cheers.) The Bill may be said to have already passed one branch of the Legislatuie, and it had already been sanctioned by our gra. cious Sovereign. He, however, need not disguise the fact that it was still in some danger in the House of Lords; but if this favourite child of the people's should be lost there, the finger of scorn would be pointed at them, and it would be com petent to the people to refuse payment of the taxes.—(lmmense cheering.) It would also be competent to the people to meet and pass resolutions, voting the House a public nuisance. He would tell the meeting of an incident which happened many years ago in the United States. In one of the cities of that country, the public au+ horities determined on erecting some public works on a favourite public promenade; the citizens had no power to resist by any legal steps, but what did they do ? They met and passed a resolution, declaring that the man who laid the first stone should be voted a public nuisance ; the consequence was, that not a man was to es h oe b believed d t otoni hefi vsev t , e de o , pL:jsote ca d rhpl o dtal set et,thattx,hhseeexecration rortptari w itudi • so h t e d c d he thattoe fwr determine t t ih t hn i would proceedings.—(Cheers. ) fellow-citizens. kingdom c i 1 0 1 l o gl p f f e u dot pl oc emo s n i i e: t v di ,tg n t i z on h sl e .ug h e t l eh u: a d t v (o 7 c i i fcatith'igti thleir se m eesr th i srr o t thi . o h ;) u em p e s rn voice h nv ila ti the l rdo eh voice of indignation would reverberate from one end of the o ee rd rs er kn t e o m s ' i t irh the M Mr. tng Bainbridge to concluded snppo r support Majestyb y in proposingcase it shou i l n d g b pe en ti ec tibo e en s i s n a wg ry to create an additional number of Peers : folThlowe motion a s s ee tb on en ded read by : a — n elector of Westminster, the " We, your Majesty's loyal and faithful subjects, the electors of Westminster, fully appreciating the many wise and benignant to enjoy acts which have lately distinguished your Majesty's reign, more especially that of having given your gracious sanction to i t v n i e se g lz re p a l t ac m ed ea i s n ure of Reform which has been propounded by your Majesty's advisers, and _passed the Lower House of Parliament, hum blyim th p e lor p e ayr y .o o mu u r r ou : ni t a aj t j esty, in the event of its rejection by the excellent a measure.

MRBAINBRIDGE also moved that this address be presented to his Majesty by Lord Brougham.,-(lmmense cheering.) On the motion that the address be adopted by the meeting, Sir FRANCIS BURDETT could not but feel the great in convenience, at a large public meeting, where the' husi. ness had previously been arranged and maturely considered, by those who had taken the care and trouble to prepare the reso lutions—it was impossible that in preparing such a resolu tion it could undergo the mature and grave consideration which it required. He (Sir Francis) did not dispute the right of the elector (Mr. Bainbridge) who ,had proposed it—he did not object to his intentions, nor did he doubt his good inch would put it to the prudence os n ef a n t tt i h o ime ns eaos s tss n: motives • while he participated, however, in his power was alike irresistible and legi. in the circumstances he had stated. He (Sir Francis Burdett) mate when mguhbileciedw(Sbhiyro:jeu)ment, whether it should be adopted could not, indeed, pretend to be able to form a judgment for the people he was addressing, but the impression on his mind was, that the facts had not been correctly stated in the proposed address. Although the country had every reason to believe and glory in the fact, that the King had approved of the measure, yet it was the moreproper, rational, and constitutional method of pro ceeding not to intrude too far on his Majesty's kindness, but to wait until the measure came in its regular course, after having el passed both Houses, to receive his final sanction. course he thought would appear inconsistent with the ether which the nation had in his Majesty. He (Sir F.) her hoped that the motion would be withdrawn, and that tdeifse ceedings should take their regular course, as they had "60 0 ; the mature consideration and approval of their fello.o",e, 1 whom, from long experience, the electors of Westmals` inclined to trust.

He is under arrest in his own house, and the Governor waits for the order of Don Miguel to set him at liberty SPAIN, " It is affirmed, that the note lately presented by the Charge d'Affaires of France to the Cabinet of Madrid contains the fol lowing phrase :- " ' That any protection given the Government of his Cathelic Majesty to the Power which reigns de facto in Portu gal, would be considered by France as a violation of the principle of non-intervention adoped by Europe; that France, agreeing on this point with England, would energetically resist, in concert with that Power, any co-operation tending to repulse the efforts of his Majesty 1)on Pedro to enforce the rights of his august daughter." " The Minister of Foreign Affairs has here something to think of, and the more so, as it is affirmed that M. Sebastiani adds That the entrance of a single Spanish soldier into the terri'ory of Portugal would be considered ny France as a declara tion of war, and that consequently the troops of his Most Chris tian Majesty would immediately cross the Pyrenees.'
