think it more titan probable that it is carried along by men somehow or other, although it has not been ascer taiiwd in what way. It Lai been alleged tbat it follows the tracts of rivers, not because it is carried by people ping along them, but because the miasma, or whatever it is that predisposes to, and excite s, the disease, has a great affinity to humidity. But if this were the case, it should go along all rivers and streams, whereas I believe it follows only those where there is navigation ; and it also would not proceed along the great roads, as we are assured it lees more than along others which are less frequented. The question is a very difficult one, and the disease has manifested the same caprices in its progress in Russia that it showed in Indio, missing occasionally places that lie di. rectly in its route, and not attacking them till same time after ; attacking sometimes the high situated houses in towns, but more frequently the lower ones. With respect to the possibility of the disease being com municated by clothes or goods, no cases have as yet come to my knowledge sufficient to prove it. I have heard of several instances brought forward in support of the opi nion, hut they are not fair ones ; as in all of them the per sons had either come from places where the disease was, or it was already prevalent in the place where they were living. And by far the most general opinion, even among the contagionists, is, that it is only through the medium of the body that it is propagated. So that the result of what information I have been able as yet to collect on the subject is, that I believe it is ca pable .4 being conveyed from one place to another by men, although it cannot be considered completely proved ; although there is not evidence sufficient to prove its communication by clothes or goods, still we cannot say that it is impossible. I have mentioned to several an experiment suggested by Sir William Pym—viz., that condemned felons should be induced by a promise of pardon to put on the clothes and use the bedding of persons who had died of cholera, while every thing should be arranged so as rather to favour the action of contagion. But I have not found any person wiring to propose it here, where, besides, there is the great objection that there is no capital punishment. Although it does not admit of legal proof, yet there is no doubt that, from the great difficulty, or indeed impos sibility, of keeping quarantine strictly in such a great ex tent of country as that where the disease prevailed the last summer and autumn, numbers of persons and quantities of goods from infected places evaded the quarantines, and came even to this city, but fortunately without bringing the disease. I may state, that also the Prussian and Austrian medi cal gentlemen, who have been sent here by their respec tive Governments, have adopted the same opinion with myself ; the Austrians could speak more decidedly, as they had seen a good deal of the disease in the southern pro vinces, before they came to Moscow. Although such is my opinion, yet I should not conceive it necessary to have any quarantine for vessels arriving in England from Russia, unless the disease prevailed at the place of loading or in the neighbourhood, and even then perhaps only in the event of any person on board having had the disease during the passage. For although there are not as yet any observations regarding the length of time that the disease may lie dormant in the system, the general opinion is, that it does not probably exceed 14 days, and therefore there would be little or no risk in ad mitting a vessel that had been at least 14 days on her pas sage, without having any sick on board. Persons, how ever, might get in a considerable shorter time from here to England, by the steam boat to Lubeck, if there should not he any quarantine there. All sorts of goods, except tallow and linen, are, I am told, opened out in the most complete manner here, and handled for the purpose of being bracked, so that if they:could com municate the disease, they would in all probability do it here before they could be sent abroad. With respect to the present state of the disease, it still prevails in the southern and western frontiers. A few eases, eight or nine, occurred in Moscow after I left that city, and I should not be at all surprised if a case occur still now and then for some time. Whether it will again increase with the wares weather is a complete conjecture, as there are no data to form an opinion about it; but there is still a sort of apprehension, of which people cannot en tirely divest themselves. I found that five cases (and all l'atal) had occurred in the town of Ustuskna, 460 wersts from hence, in the course of the ten days, just before my passing through, i. e. from the 19th to the 20th of March; but I have not been able to learn whether any cases have occurred since. That, 1 believe, is the nearest point at which it has been since the autumn. As the Government of Vologda, where the disease has prevailed to a consider able degree not long ago, has more direct communication I I believe with Archangel than with this place, it is not ;improbable, I think, that if the disease still spreads, it will get there before it comes here. With respect to the progress, nature, treatment, &c., of the disease, I am busy collecting materials for a complete statement, which I shall lose no time in forwarding to you when ready, for the information of their Lordships. I have, &c. (Signed) THOII AS WALKER. Postscript.—l find the expressions I have made use of here have appeared to others not to convey quite the meaning I myself attach to them. I intended to say, that I myself am convinced of the contagious nature of the dis ease, but that the proofs of its transmission from one indi vidual to another are not quite perfect as yet. And be lieving so, I cannot, of course, be without some apprehen sion that it may also be conveyed by clothes and other ar ticles, which have been in more immediate contact with the sick, although the proofs of this are, as yet, still more defective. It is a disease sui generis, and must have its own laws as well as the plague, typhus fever, and other contagious or infectious disorders, but these laws we do not yet sufficiently know. Its attacks seem to be favoured by depressing passions, especially fear of the disease, great fatigue, low bad living, bad air in crowded dirty dwellings, drunkenness. I have been informed that in Austrian Gal ]ieia, where it made its appearance, a better diet furnished to the lower orders, at the es:pence of the Government, seems to have contributed as much as any other measure to prevent the spreading of the disease. iECOND REPORT OF THE COLLEGE OF PHYSICIANS ON THE sCBJECT Or THE CHOLERA MORBUS. College of Physicians, June 18, 1831. compliance with the further wishes of the Lords of his ;Majesty's Most lion. Privy Council, that we should state in detail the reason of the opinion contained in our report, dated June 15th, we beg to submit to their Lordships the following statement, observing at the same time, that the information in the doculnents laid before us is deficient on some important points, particularly with respect to the description of the disease. Our knowledge of the symptoms of the disease called cholera morbus, in Russia, is derived entirely from a re port drawn up by Sir W, Crichton, at St. Petersburgh, for the medical council of that capital, from reporti of medical practitioners in different parts of Russia, where the disease bad appeared. We have, however, no direct information from any Russian or other physician who had actually seen the disease. The remarkable facts attending its progress, and manner of extension over the vast tract of country in which it has successively appeared are as follows :—lt showed itself at Astraaan, near the mouth of the Wolga, on the 20th of July, 1830, itnmediately after ,the arrival of a vessel there from the port of Bahon, ou the tiestern coast of the Caspian Sea; on board which vessel, during the passage, eight men had died of the disease. From Astracan, it spread itself in an eastern direction to Gourieff, and far up the course of the river Owrab; and at the same time proceeded northward, in a cause follow ing strictly the great tine of river communication a the Wolga; affecting successively all the principal towns 0,. each bank of the river, as far to the north as Yaraslov, and at dates corresponding with the crdinary rate of the navigation up this stream. The earliest de.ths at each place usually occurred among the boatmen employed in the navigation. It is an important fact, that white thtis ascending the course of the Wolga in a north direction, et sv.a contem poraneously conveyed down the course of the Don i.n a south-w direction to the ae.a of Azof, and to the coasts ot the Black Sea, and details rase given, warranting the belief, that it was carried by personal i4tercourse across the neck of land which separates these two great lines of water communication. The disease ; appeared at Moscow in the first or seconil week of Octobet p . - infe e e g t e e d i to have been brought thither' from Saratoff, the coldest rue Wolga. At Mos cow it prevailed during ' months, having first ap peared in the south part athe Russian do!ninlG4.s,Nr ing the hottest season of the year,w Quarantine was esta blished to St. Pstersburgh. on the road from peter e , n b d u e r d ;itself Upon this road the disease has n s ev t e . r on another line of approach to ; but ratoff, where no quarantine was estalitiahed,oftl!peledtfeisre:l7sueSatif vanced as far as Tikhvin, within 160 miles where it appears also to have been arrested by quarantine. It is important to mention here, that the Moravian neco lony of Sarepta, on the right bank of ,the Wolga, several German colonies is the government of Saratoo, around which the disease raged with great severity, and the school of Military Cadets at Moscow, were exempted to r in from the disease; strict precautions having been used each of these several instancts to prohibit all intercourse with the surrounding population. The mode of ingress of the disease into Podolia and Voibynia is not equally certain ; but it appears to have icilov• - ed the great lines of communicatlon between alp southern parts of Russia and those provinces, and to have a ccompanied the march of the armies in this direction. The disease appeared very early in May on the road between Posen and Warsaw, and in the army of the Grand Duke Michael ; subsequently at Praga and Warsaw, and iu the Polish armies. A report, drawn up by a Board of Health of Warsaw, and transmitted to the French Go vernment, and thence to the English Government, gives a statement of the numbers infected during seven days in the hospitals of Warsaw and its neighbourhood. The latest accounts we have before us are those regard ing the extension of the disease to the sea-ports of Riga and Dantzic, on the Baltic, and the great mortality which has occurred in the former of these places. From the progress of this disease, uninfluenced by latitude or by seasons, through various districts in the Russian empire, following gradually the courses of great rivers and roads, in other words, the general line of traffic mud communication, and from the fact that different towns situate in its route were exempted from its visitation by establishing a system of non-intercourse, we are of opinion that the disease called cholera morbus in Russia is of an infectious nature. Our decision is corroborated by the opinion of Sir William Crichton, of St. Petersburgh ; by the measures taken by the Russian and Prussian Govern ments ; by the statement of the English physician, Dr. Walker, sent from St. Petersburgh to Moscow, who, after much hesitation, decided peremptorily in favour of contagion ; by that also of Dr. Albers, sent by the Prus sian Government, who first entertained a suspicion that the disease was contagious, afterwards doubted, and at last determined upon its contagious nature. We beg again to call your Lordships' attention to the circumstance, that neither the statements of Dr. Walker, nor those of Dr. Albers, nor those of the Report of the Committee of Health at Warsaw, contain any description of the symp toms of the disease. We have not evidence before us sufficient to decide whether this disease be communicable by merchandise or not ; there are some statements which appear to support the latter opinion, but they are neither numerous nor dis tinct enough to convince us that this disease does not and will not observe the laws which regulate other infectious disorders. Should the Government be enabled to lay before us here after a more precise account of the disease, and a more en largo] statement by which the propagation of its infection may be distinguished from that of other infectious diseases, we , hall be very ready to re-consider our opinion. But until such information can he obtained by us, called upon as we are to consider the security of the public, we can give no other opinion with respect to the transmission of the disease by merchandise, than that we think the safety of the community will best be consulted by submitting mer chandise to the usual regulations of quarantine; and we can at present make no other distinction of articles than is made by the law established for this purpose. Signed, on behalf of the College, by HENRY HALFORD, President. FRANCIS HAWKINS, Registrar. QUARANTINE IN PRUSSIA. The following are the regulations adopted by the Prus sian Goveinment for preventing the spreading of the cholera : BERLIN, iI;NE 16.—Upon the first news of the break ing out of the cholera morbus in Poland, a sanatory cordon has been established on the Prussian frontier, from the Baltic, near Memel, to the southern point of Silesia, near Cracow. Since then the entrance, both of travellers and merchandise, from Russia, Poland, and Cracow, has been allowed only at certain quarantine stations, and on pro duction of unquestionable bills of health. All persons not provided with clean bills of health, as well as goods liable to imbibe infection—viz. bed-feathers, quills, horse or cow-hair, flax, hemp, raw hides, skins, leather, furs, sail cloth, rope, tow, wool, apparel, &c., have been subjected to ten or twelve days of the strictest quarantine and purification. On the cholera manifesting itself in Austrian the Prussian frontier cordon was immediately extended opposite to that Austrian province, from Cracow to the frontiers of Bohemia, which latter frontier itself is placed under observation, in such manner that travellers or mer chandise, which cannot be proved to come from a place perfectly free from suspicion, are either refused admittance or made to perform quarantine. Thus, the whole of the eastern provinces of Prussia have been surrounded with a frontier cordon, which is continued on the part of Saxony, whereby the evading of the Prussian line is rendered impossible. On receipt of accounts of the cholera having shown it self at Riga and Dantzic, the precautionary measures have bee❑ increased, so as no longer to look upon bills of health for travellers or merchandise, proceeding from Russia, Poland, or Gallicia, as free from suspicion ; consequently, individuals and goods coming from those parts, are only admitted after a quarantine and purification of 20 days, notwithstanding any bills of health they may be provided with. Upon the same principle, no ♦essel coming from Russia is admitted into a Prussian port, until after a qua• rantine of 20 days, and the established purification. In addition to which, vessels coming from Russia can only be admitted into such Prussian ports as are provided with quarantine establishments—viz., Memel, Pillau, Dantzic, Swinemunde, and Griefewald. All vessels proceeding from Dantzic to another Prussian pert are dealt with as if coming from Russia. Vessels sailing from ports in the Baltic, not Russian, are only admitted into Prussian ports, if provided with clean bills of health ; and will even then be placed under observation for eight days, should they come from a place in which the precautionary measures are less strict than those adopted in Prussian ports. Hitherto, Dantzic is the only place in the Prussian do minions in which any trace of cholera inorbus has mani fested itself ; this town is gu irded on the land side in the same strict manner as the Russian and Polish frontiers. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—I have observed of late that on several occasions when you have published any important or interesting news from your Portsmouth correspondent (and which I find is, generally speaking, correct), that the Ilampshire Telegraph takes the trouble to contradict it in their fol lowing publication. The cases are too numerous to notice in the crowded state of your columns at this period, and I would therefore advise the Telegraph to look before it leaps, and not be under the disagreeable necessity of eat ing its own words week after week. The same Paper lately observed that the fleet now at Spithead was no longer detained for want of men, an expression calculated to impel the public to conclude that the crews of the respective ships were complete. It !Leeds no stronger proof of the falsity gf this assertion than to observe the extraordinary activity that has been going on at the different rendezvous now open for entering sea men during the present week. Ido not mean to say that the ships have not men enough to take them to sea, but that they are not manned. Contrast the two services— suppose 10.000 men were wanted for the army, could they not be found ? Why does this difference, or rather pre ference, exist? Because a soldier knows pretty well what duty he has to perform daily, and in addition to which he has a certain portion of recreation daily when not on actual servire. Sailors have no such privilege (I mean those of the fleet in question). As a proof of this i assert that I have seen more liberty-men ashore every night in Portsmouth, when there has been only two or three frigates at Spithead, than I now see with seven sail o f alp line, and a corresponding number of smaller vessels. It may be said that soldiers may be met with any where, and sailors only e,t the sea-ports. Granted; but are any considerable number eei seamen obtained except at sea ports, where men-of-war's min a,;,f.t to be met with ? Do we see any number worth speaking arri.ie :Tom Liverpool, Shields, esud such-like ports ? And yet, consider:mg the' advantage of the K_ing's service over the merchants, this is rather retnarka.ble. There. can be but one reason for this distinction, namely, the usage. I will here state the superiority the V.ing's service possesses —The ships are better, the provisions ;,.re better, the pay is very good and certain, and a something to loot forward to when past service, if it is only GREENWICH. I heard an !;ill and t able sailor say, " that he would rather occasionally have two Coen, than to be continually tormented with unne cessary diky." It would appear from a conversation that ensued in the ifinise,e,f , Commons last week, and which I have no doubt was proci4e4 by some remarks of your coFrAspondent, that there is a great the sai!ors' condition nr bettered, and which is the sincere wa . );, A SAILOR'S FRIEND. Portsmouth, July I. A ridiculous objection is offered to the admis sior. , _ of gentlemeri, even to the gallery of the Opera-liouM with white hats. Q few nights pgo a gentleman was told that he must leave his hat in the .care of one of the door keepers, as there was a strong prohibition. Of courAc the visiter expected to find very respectab'e company in the gallery; but he had not sat long in the dark and dingy place when in walked a livery -servant, and sat down next to him. Sixpence was the price at which care was taken of the hat. The place of hat-holder must he worth at that rate 3/. or 4/. a week—a most fraudulent reeulation. —3l()rits'n4 herald CorrespcndEnt. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. PRENCJI PAPERS. (From the Message, - des Chambres of July 2.) The most ridiculous reports have been circulated on 'Change. Notwithstanding their evident falsehood, they were credited by several persons, who on such occasions are always eager to be made dopes. Nothing is more false than the pretended departure of M. Appony. For the refutation of the news from Belgium we have only to refer to that which we have received to-day from Brussels. _ —. No extraordinary courier—no telegraphic despatch—has been received by the Government : on the contrary, ev er y thing indicates that the hopes that have been conceived of a happy and prompt solution of the affairs of Belgium will be shortly realized. The King arrived yesterday (the 30th), at two o'clock, by the outer boulevards, and proceeded immediately to St. Cloud. LoNnwv, JUNE 27.—The 42d regiment of Prussian infantry from Treves is cantoned in the villages on the Sarre. The Belgian troops in the Grand Duchy of Lux embourg amount to 8,000 or 9,000 men ; most of them are young soldiers. They repair to the villages on the frontier, and encourage our soldiers to desert. The 13th regiment, at Longwy, has already lost twenty or twenty live men in this manner. One of the persons engaged in these attempts has been arrested, and conducted to Metz. He will be brought before the nearest military tribunal. M. Thouret, editor of the Revolution, was condemned yesterday by the Court of Assize to a month's imprison ment, and a fine of 3,000 francs, for endeavouring to ex cite hatred and contempt of the Government. The article inculpated was in the number of the 3d May, and headed " On the decoration of July, and the necessity of refus ing it." The Court of Cassation decided yesterday that no foreigner can acquire the quality of French citizen, and consequently that of an elector, but by a ten years' resi dence in the French territory. He must, besides, obtain letters of naturalization. The Gazette de France says that the reports respect ing Brussels (to which the Messager alludes, without stating them) were that on the news of the manner of Prince Leopold's acceptance, an insurrection had broken out there, and that the Government had been forced to retire to another town. (From the Messager des Chambres of yesterday.) PARIS, JULY I.—An attentive perusal of the articles agreed to by the Conference of London, upon the subject of Belgium, leads us to a conviction that they are calcu lated to bring this matter to a conclusion at last, by fixing the fault upon those who wished to render the affair in terminable, or bring it to an unfortunate issue. Hol land was unwilling to yield in the slightest point;— perhaps other Cabinets recommended this obstinacy; and the republican party in Belgium worked in the counter sense for the same object as Holland—namely, that a ge neral war should result from all those difficulties. The Cabinets of France and England were probably the only ones which were sincere in their wishes to see Bel gium established as a regular State, being no doubt anxious to dispose of that question, in order t,► attend to the subject of Poland. Therefore, a series of eighteen articles have been drawn up, and in them are laid down principles of peace and justice, which must defeat all malicious and im prudent calculations; principles which the other Cabinets ought to accept, unless they wish to place themselves in open defiance to France and England. We encourage a hope that the Belgi in people will adopt this arrangement, as it can do so with perfect honour, and that nation will feel assured of the support of England and France, as long as the strict interpretation of those articles be adhered to. It is a matter of notoriety in Paris, that certain agitators are endeavouring to excite the people of Brussels, for the purpose of intimidating the Congress. We sincerely hope that such attempts will produce no unplea sant results. We have this day received intimation of a strange and altogether unexpected event--namely, the breaking out of the cholera morbus in the city of Archangel, in the lati tude of 64 degrees 33 minutes, upon the borders of the Frozen Ocean. The contagion was borne thither by vessels descending the river Dwina, and laden with the produce of the Russian provinces of Wologda and Wiatka, which have been infected since the autumn of the last year arid at the commencement of the spring, on reaching the margin of the Polar reservoir, the disease is 200 leagues from 'Moscow. The King arrived at the Palais Royale about half-past eleven this morning. A preparatory meeting of the electors of the third arron dissement, to the number of 630 out of 1,400 took place to-day at Menus-Plaisirs. M. I. Lafitte obtained 360 rotes ; M. A. Odier, 250 ; the remaining votes were di vided between MM. Drouett and Chignard. This ad vantage gained by M. Lafitte cannot be considered as decisive, as there was not half the electors at the meeting, and upon the day of the election the electors will probably attend in greater number. In a letter from Rome, dated 19th of June, we find the following :—" The partisans of the E:-King, Charles X., have frequent meetings in Rome, at the house of his Emi nence, Cardinal Rohan. This Prince feels no hesitation in styling himself (among this Carlist junta) the Ambas eador of the fallen Bourbons, Charles X. and Henry V. Of (nurse his Eminence only represents the Princes of Holy rood in this place until the approaching arrival of M. de Blacas, titular Ambassador." Since the Cardinal has evinced this disposition, the Jesuits, and all the French refugees opposed to the events of July, besiege his Palace, and have frequent conferences there. The Cardinal is also in direct communication with the incumbents of the principal Sees in France, and whose letters are read in those conventicler. Accounts prejudicial to Louis Phillipe, and threatening to France, emanate every day from these pious souls, animated by a special zeal for religion. To believe them, all the Powers of Europe are going to declare war against the usurper of the throne of Charles X., and the disturbances which agitate the kingdom insure the triumph of the enemies of France." The Polish army had attempted a great movement to wards Sied lec, with the hope of surprising General Kreutz, or forcing the General-in-Chief of the enemy to draw off the divisions of his right from the palatinate of Pluck, and to cross over to the left bank of the Bug. That expecta tion failed. Skrzynecki returned to Praga on the 20th. We are ignorant of his present plans. The Russians, masters of the town of Plock, occupy the right hank of the Vistula with considerable forces, and are supposed to have the intention of crossing the river. They continue to receive their provisions from the Lower Vistula, and the Prussian fortress of Thorn has be come for them a magazine. We have already alluded to the 'evoking partiality of Prussia towards Russia, in direct opposition to the well known good wishes of the Prussian nation, who generally applaud the noble efforts now making by Poland. It is in vain to disguise that partiality. Russian agents, purveyors of provisions, and military commissaries, under the garb of merchants, are now at Thorn, Dantzic, and on the Russo-Polish frontier, forwarding provisions and mi litary stores, which circulate as freely and with more ce lerity than in Russia, through the Pruss i an territory, at the same time that the Poles cannot procure a musket nor a barrel of gunpowder, and that the Prussian au thorities stop every article likely to be of use to the de fenders of Poland. If, instead of the frontier of Prussia, there were on that side a barren coast or a desert; or even a country whose neutrality was real, it would be impossible for the Russian army to remain at Piock ; they would even:have the greatest difficulty in maintaining themselves on the Narew, for General Toll's communications with Russia are com pletely cut off by the immense progreos of the Lithuanian insurrection. General Toll had no longer a basis for his operations, and his 40,000 or 50,000 men would be reduced to want bread and ammunition, should Gielgud take possession of Wilna.. But Toll has now fur the basis of his operations, and his point d'uppui the frontiers of Prussia; he derives from the Lower Vistula all the provisions necessary fur his army; he has no longer to be uneasy about his communi . cations with Russia, and he is in a situation to attempt an operation on the centre. This induces us tp credit the report of his intended passage of the Vistula, and advance upon Warsaw. It is very likely that he has had orders to that effect from St. Petersburgli. The Russian Government must be anxious to put an end to the contest. The rage of freedom and nationality has seiz,d the population of the ancient and eztensive provinces of Poland. By destroying Warsaw the Husaiano -,,:.c do.ibt would expect that insurrections, of which thAt eivitaiis tt - e c7,n;7.•?! Cocos, would fall of them ' !ielves. 1 - 1 ; y: Russian Cabinet will in all likelihood:be deceived in its expeOaicn , The enemy will sicatilLinebui:ly have. o Warsaw.

It is said that the central PoliA army had returned to Prega. To thy South, General Romarino crossed the Vistula at Pulawy, to join General Chrejanowski at Zarnosc. The sltuati,n of affairs lia Lithuania is most favourable, ~.. General Gielgud is at the head of 40,000 men, which may be fairly called the army of Lithuania. His centre is at Mariampol, alias Staropol; his left iu the maritime province of S3mogitia ; his right at Lida, on the road from Slonim to Wilna. He has a bridge on the Niemen, or Memel, at Olitta, and his future operations are to b directed against Wilna. General Chrapowski forms the right of the Lithuanian army. After leaving the grand Polish army at Drohisira, o❑ the Bug, he advanced northward towards Bielsk, then on Wolkovisk, and, finally, on Lida, where he opened communications with the Genet al-in-Chief Gielgud. The forces of the Russian empire are considerable, and, no doubt, yet formidable—and that empire, founded by conquest, governed by despotism and pride, will attempt a great deal before it submits to the humiliation of a dis memberment. But there is an immense strength in the endeavours of a nation suddenly recovering its former energy, when all classes—the people, nobility, clergy, peasantry, slaves, and the women themselves—are unani mous in their resolution to establish their national in le- pendence. (From the Journal du Commerce of Saturday.) PARIS. There was no Cabinet Council held yesterday at St. Cloud. The Ministers, who remained in Paris, went in dividually to pay their homage to his Majesty. The Coun cil in question met to-day, but nothing has transpired on the nature of the discussions. It was only remarked that M. Sebastiani had arrived early to the King, and that he appeared very much agitated. No doubt but the direc tion he has imparted to our policy may become the object of serious accusations, and we think that he is aware of it himself. (From the Constitutionnel of Saturday.) We extract the following from the Journal du Loiret of June 30.—" The Sth regiment of the line, which was in garrison in Orleans, received orders, on Monday, to set nut for Soissons. This circumstance corroborates the re port of the formation of an imposing army on the northern frontier. _ _ . " P. S. This morning, as the last battalion was going to depart, orders came to postpone its departure for twenty • four hours, on account of the number of troops on the roads." (From the illessager des Chambres of Friday.) Reports of the establishment of a c imp of 120,000 men at Lille, and the breaking off the conference of London, and finally of immediate war, can only be explained as stock-jobbing m inceuvres got up on 'Change, or electoral tactics on the part of the Republican or Ultra Liberal Opposition. Added to these is a report of a schism in the Cabinet, and of the resignatio❑ of M. Casimir Perrier. It is useless to repeat the contradiction which we gave yesterday evening to all those absurd rumours, particu larly after what appeared in the Moniteur of this morn ing ; however, it is right to remark their coincidence with the assembling of the electoral Colleges. (Flom the Messayer of Saturday.) Reports of the most absurd description were in circula tion to-day upon 'Change. Notwithstanding their ap parent falsity, they were credited by several persons who are always anxious to be dupes upon such occasions. Nothing could be more devoid of truth than the pretended departure of M. d'Appony. [n order to refute the accounts relative to Belgium, we have only to refer our readers to the intelligence which we received this morning from Brussels- Not a single extraordinary courier, no telegraphic de spatch, came to the Government ; on the contrary, every thing announces that the hopes entertained of an imme diate and successful settlement of the affairs of Belgium will be shortly realised. (From Gulignani's Messenger of Saturday.) _ _ The accounts respecting the Duchess of Berry's visit to the Continent are so contradictory, that it is impossible to form any opinion upon her destin ition or intentions. The Temps n.entions, after letters from Vienna, that she is going to Piedmont, with a view to come afterwards to the South of France. Several accounts say that she is on her way to Naples. A letter from Frankfort states that she proposes to take up her residence at Gratz, in Styria; and again, another letter from Frankfort asserts that it was not the Duchess of Berry, hut the Queen Hortense, that was at Mentc The Duke de Blacas passed through Mentz about a week ago, on his way from London to Italy. The Augsburg Gazette contains the following, dated Odessa, June 9 :-" By the steam-packet we have re ceived intelligence from Constantinople to the 6th instant. The Turkish fleet sailed on the Sd to pass the Dardanelles. The Sultan himself, after having appointed a Lieute tenant-Governor, and vested him with fall powers, went with Halit Pacha on board a man-of-war. It is thought, however, that he will accompany the fleet only as far as G.dlipoli, from whence he will return to the capital." The Government, we hear, is seriously occupied in finding employment for the numerous workmen who are without it. The formation of a company for laying down an iron rail-road from Paris to Pontoise is talked of, which hereafter is to be continued to Rouen, and also an. other from Paris to Orleans. It is likewise rumoured that a market is to be established in the faubourg Pois sonniere ; a street, to he called Rue Louis Philippe, to be opened from the Louvre to the Hotel de Vine, and the new bridge over the Seine opposite the Rue des St. Peres. The greater part of these improvements will, it is said, be commenced within the next fortnight.

(From the Morning Herald Private Correspondent) PARIS, Saturday Evening. The apprehended and the menaced movements of the people, on the-14th, 27th, 28th, and 29th of this month, will in all pro. bability be obviated and neutralised by the measures in progress and contemplation by Government If not, they will be counter acted by the strong arm. It is not easy to penetrate the projected conservatory designs of the Government, some of which will appear strange in your eyes; but they promise to be adequate to their object. The first in importance is the hostile attitude taken by the Ministerial candidates for the Chamber of Deputies to the con tinuance of an hereditary Peerage. This tends strongly to confirm the report mentioned in my letter of the 25th ult., that the speech of the King, on the opening of the Session, this day three weeks, will announce his Majesty's intention to propose the counter-mine abolition of the hereditary Peerage, and thus would the war horse ftheposeepumlas in popular party to b be eca t r h r e ie l d ea tl i o n m g d u e n ie d n e s r iv th e e o m pe . ra " t f i h m e of the Perier Ministry. The anti-Popery rage of the mob will be deprecated by the razing of the too-celebrated church ' of St Germain L'Auxerrois., and by some very ridiculous Pagan erections in the Pantheon, the ci-devant church of St. Genevieve. The planting of a tree f liberty in the Place de la Bastille on the 14th inst. will be taken out o f the hands of " the friends' of the people" by the-authorities, who will, I am assured, perform that farce themselves. In like manner will be rendered super fluous similar ceremonies in the Place du Palais Royal and Boulevards on the 27th, and on the Place de Greve on the 28th. The apotheosis of the patriots buried outside the Louvre, in the Marche des lnnocens, and elsewhere, will be superb, and at the expense of Government. Even the pious intention of the Parisian garvies to disinter one of their companions, in order to obtain for him the benefit of a :special church service, will be rendered unnecessary by the performance in all the churches of Paris of solemn masses for the martyrs of liberty„ Thus far civil mea sures of policy. The precautions to enforce order are, perhaps, better conceived. Although a Republican Newspaper is about to be prosecuted for announcing it, I am positively assured that the police are organizing bands of ocuvrers, or of persons who will appear as such, who, in masses of 100 each, will rush upon, break up, and with coups de baton, disperse all evil-disposed as semblages. I can see no advantage in the use of such a force, w i l tch the employment of troops would not attain, for, if the p l an be put into execution, it will assuredly lead to the necessity for resortineto military power, at a time, too, when the minds ai rnl e d s e , r as N i a s po s said. nhtp,i:trannrsieuddvniecbtruuiallrnohnucites: of the people will have become heated by a less deadly contact with the agents of the police. Nevertheless, the experiment will be tried. That, however, on which the Government relies for the preservation of peace—and lam sure properly relies—is the National Guard. An immense army (troops of the line), some say to the amount of 40,000 men,will be in Paris and its environs at the period I speak of; but the Iso,ooo National Guards, who will be under arms during " the three days," will be more effica cious than would twice the number of regular troops. In a word, there will, be no noise, and there may be riots—but, although foreigners, are every moment flying from Paris from fear, yet there will he.no revolution on either of "the three glorious days." Some of the Paris Journals have been industriously circulating reports thqt the Duchess of Berry's journey to the Continent had for ,its object the excitement 'of insurrection in France —one of their vent ;0 far az ti? . say . that with two illegitimate daughters of her late buiband, q.f, A.44ea-de...Carop, Vie Princess was about to take the field at the head df the Crimian;;.'

St. Aulaire, the French Ambassador to that Court. The Funds fell still further at Paris this day, owing to the con tinued uncertainty on the affairs of Belgium. • It was the bell of this Church which gave the signal fur the commencement of the massacre of St. Bartholomew. BRUSSELS PAPERS. BRUSSELS—SITTING or TUESDAY, JUNE 2S. After some discussion upon subjects of internal administration, M. de Gerlache ascended the tribune. He said—Gentlemen, I should have wished to have some moments' leisure for consi deration before making my report to you on the important mis sion which vou confided to us, but the very natural impatience manifested . by the Congress and the public has induced us im mediately to communicate to you the documents of which we are the bearers. It was not till the day before yesterday, be tween nine and ten o'clock m the evening, that we had au audience of the Prince of Saxe Coburg, for the purpose of presenting to him the solemn Act of the 4th and sth of the month, which calls him to reign over Belgium. I shall have the honour to read to you, first, the answer of Isis Royal High ness, who accepts the Crown on the terms which will be communicated to you by the organs of the 'Ministry, who were sent to negociate with the Congress at London ; and, secondly, the answer of the Prince to a letter of the Re gent. We think it our duty to communicate this answer t.' you, because his Royal Highness positively announces in it his intention to come immediately to Belgium, in case the pro posals of the Conference shall be accepted by you. With re spect to the proposals themselves, as they were not signed till pretty late in the evening of the day before yesterday, the Mem bers of the deputation have scarcely had time to make them selves acquainted with them. I regret the involuntary absence of some of our colleagues, whom fatigue obliges to remain at home. But on the day which you shall fix for the discussion, each of them will communicate to you all the information which he may have collected during his stay at London. You see, Gentlemen, that if we have hitherto left you in com plete ignorance of the results of our mission, it is because we were ourselves in great ignorance and extreme perplexity up to the last moment. The only facts with which we have become acquainted on our arrival, and winch we transmit individually to some of our colleagues, is the desire of the Prince to accede to the wish of the Belgians, the warm, the personal interest which he feels in our welfare, the amiable and estimable qualities which distinguish him, the exalted capacity which comprehends the wants of a people who love all kinds of liberty ; all the Mem bers of your Commission have been unanimous in this respect. Before we communicate the Prince's answer, I beg your per mission to repeat to you the words addressed to his Royal High ness by the President of the Deputation in the name of his colleagues SPEECH (IF THE PRESIDENT OF THE DEPUTATION. " SlR,—The Belgic Revolution which has been accomplished has been recognised by the great Powers, who have proclaimed the independence of a nation united against its will to a foreign nation. " The Belgians, in constituting themselves as a State, have had in view to establish among them the liberty which they have conquered by a courageous struggle, and to show to Europe, by the choice of a Sovereign destined to guarantee their political existence, their ardent desire to concur in the preservation of general peace. Henceforth restored to themselves, invincibly attached to their country and to the Government ich it has chosen, they will oppose a formidable barrier to any one who should attack their rights as a nation, and they will contribute also to the maintenance of the balance of Europe. " An extraordinary and noble sight in the annals of nations is presented by the agreement of four millions of freemen sponta neously offering the Crown to a Prince born at a distance from them, and whom they know only by what report has published of his eminent qualities. Your Royal Highness is worthy of this appeal ; worthy to answer to this mark of confidence. The happiness of Belgium, and perhaps the peace of all Europe, are actually in your hands. As the reward of a noble reso lution, Prince, we do not fear to promise you glory ; the benedictions of a good and loyal people, always attached to its sovereigns as long as they have respected its rights, and, lastly, a memory dear to the most remote posterity. Those Belgians who have recently had the advantage of approaching the person of your Itoyal Highness, and of appreciating your enlightened views, and the firmness of your mind, have thought that a Prince en dowed with such eminent qualities would be able to overcome all obstacles, if he should meet with any, to accomplish his great destinies. " In the name and by the orders of the National Congress, the Belgian Deputation has the honour to present to your Itoyal Highness a solemn act of the 4th of this mouth, which calls you to the throne of Belgium. " The President of the Congress and the Belgic Deputation, (Signed) " E. C. de GERLACHE." (Here follow the Decree electing Prince Leopold, and his Royal Highness's answer to the Address of the Deputation already published.) Letter of his Royal Highness the Prince of Saxe-Coburg to the Regent of Belgium. " Sin,—lt is with sincere satisfaction that I have received the letter, dated June 6, which you have written to me. The cir cumstances which have delayed my answer are too well known to you to require an explanation. " Whatever may be the result of political events with respect to myself, the flattering confidence which you have placed in me has made it my duty to make every effort in my power to con tribute to bring to a happy conclusion a negociation of such great importance to the existence of Belgium, and, perhaps, to the peace of Europe. " As the form of my acceptance does not permit me to enter into details I must here add some explanation. As soon as the Congress shall have adopted the Articles which the Conference at London proposes to it, I shall consider the difficulties to be removed as far as I am concerned, and I shall be able immedi ately to proceed to Belgium. " The Congress will now be able to embrace at one view the si tuation of affairs; may its decision complete the independence of the country, and thus furnish me with the means to contribute to its prosperity. With the most sincere attachments, • " Be pleased, Sir, to accept, &c. (Signed) , " LEOPOLD. " London, June 26, 1831." M. Lebeau ascended the tribune. He recapitulated to the As sembly the decree of the :Id of June, authorising the Govern ment so negociate for the arrangement of the territorial ques tions by pecuniary sacrifices, the decree of the Regent, of the 3d, appointing Messrs. Devaux and Nothomb, to be Commissioners, and also the instructions given to these two Deputies. The Ministers then gave an account of the correspondence between the Conference, Lord Palmerston, and Messrs. Devaux and Nothomb. It appears from their explanations, that on the 26th June, Lord Palmerston sent to the Belgian Commissioners at London a note, announcing to them that the Five Powers commissioned them to deliver a sealed packet from the Conference to M. Le beau. M. Lebeau announced that the packet had been trans mitted to him by Messrs. Devaux and Nothomb, who wrote to Lord Palmerston, acknowledging the receipt of it, and promising to deliver their message; and these letters contain proposals or articles which may form the preliminaries of a treaty of peace. The Minister, before reading them, declared that the Confer. ence means that these proposals shall be also submitted to the Dutch Government, and that they will be considered as null and void, if they are rejected either wholly or in part. The 'I reaty is conceived in the following terms : "'l"3 M. LEBEAU, AT BRUSSELS. " The Conference, animated with a desire to remove the difficulties which still retard the conclusion of the affairs of Bel gium, has thought that the following Articles, which might form the preliminaries of a Treaty of Peace, would contribute to this end. It was, therefore, resolved to propose them to the two parties " Art. 1. The limits of Holland shall comprehend all the ter ritories, fortresses, towns, and places which belonged to the for mer Republic of the United Provinces of the Netherlands in the year 1790 2. Belgium shall be formed of all the other territories which received the denomination of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in the treaties of 1815. "3. The Five Powers will employ their good offices that the Duchy of Luxembourg may remain in statu quo during the course of the separate negociations which the Sovereign of Belgium will open with the King of the Netherlands and with the German Confederation respecting the Grand Duchy, which negociation is distinct from the question of the boundaries between Holland and Belgium. " It is understood that the fortress of Luxembourg shall pre serve a free communication with Germany. "4. If it is found that the Republic of the United Provinces of the Netherlands did not exclusively exercise the sovereignty of Maestricht in 1790, the two parties shall consider of means of making an amicable arrangement on this subject. " 5. As it would result from the bases laid down in Articles 1 and 2, that Holland anmS Belgium should possess districts sur rounded by the respective territories of each other, such ex changes as may be thought useful to both parties shall be ami cably made between Holland and Belgium. " 6. The reciprocal evacuation of the territories, towns, and fortresses, shall take place independently of the arrangements relative to the exchanges. " 7. It is understood that the regulations of Articles 108 and 117, inclusive of the general Act of time Congress of Vienna, re lative to the free navigation of the navigable rivers, shall be ap plied to those rivers which pass through the territories of Hol land and Belgium. " 8. Dutch and Belgian Commissioners shall meet at Macs trict as soon as possible, for the demarcation of the territo. ries. They shall also discuss the exchanges to be made accord ing to Art. 5. " 9. and to. Belgium shall be a neutral State, but without giv_ ing up the right of defending itself against every aggression. " 11. The port of Antwerp shall continue to be solely a com mercial port, according to article 15 of the Treaty of Paris of 30th Slay, 1814. " 12. The division of the debt shall be made in such a manner that the whole of the debts before the Union shall fall upon the country by which they were contracted ; and those contracted since the Union shall be divided in just proportion. • 13. Commissioners shall be immediately appointed to settle this matter ; so that Belgium may provisionally furnish its por tion of the interest of the debt, " 14. The prisoners of war,on both sides, shall be set at liberty fifteen days after the adoption of these articles. " 15. The sequestration of private property, in the two coun tries, shall be immediately removed. " 18. No inhabitant of the territories, towns, and fortresses reciprocally evacuated shall be molested for his past political conduct. " 17. The Five Powers reserve to themselves the right of giv ing their good offices, when they shall be required by the par ties interested. " 18. The articles reciprocally adopted shall be converted into a definite treaty. (Signed) " ESTERHAZY.

The Congress resolved that all the documents and articles of M. Lebeau added, 'tThe Commissioners have had, both with his Highness Prince Leopold and with the Members of the Conference, communications which it is important for the Con, gees to know, and which will be laid before it in a secret COM, mince of the whole Congress, on such a day as the Assembly shall determine." Messieurs de Robaulx, Seron, Gendebien, and others, protest against the Secret Committee. These communications affect too nearly the interest of the country, for us to act in the dark. M. Van de Weyer—We may have things to state which ought not to be communicated in public ; w hen you are acquainted with them, you may decide whether you will keep them secret, or publish them. It was resolved by 77 to 63 votes, that there should be a Secret Committee on Thursday. BRUSSELS, JUNE 29.—The Burgomaster has published the Prince of Saxe Coburg's answer to the address of the city. His Royal Highness says, " I haYe received with sincere satisfaction your letter of the 9th. I beg you to believe; that should political events soon bring Trio among you ; if shall be my constant: care to prove my solicitude for the weltlire of the inhabitants of Brit's.: sels."—Brussels Papers, June 30.

It is affirmed, that if hostilities should be renewed, Chasse will blow up the dike of the Tete de Flandres. The important communications made to the Congress have rc. duced the Belgic question to the last expression of the will of the Five Powers. Nobody could reasonably expect the unqualified adoption of the Belgic ultimatum. The new proposals µill be discussed by the Congress i and whatever be the anxiety of the public, we must await the issue of the discussion, to which we must submit, and which cannot but be conformable to the dignity and interest of the country. Meantime, the Belgians must be on their guard against the furious declamations of a party which is averse to every arrangement—which only dreams of war and its horrors, and whose triumph would destroy the prosperity and the political existence of Belgium—Journal d' Anvers. BRUSSELS, JULY I.—The National Congress, in its sitting yesterday, agreed to a project of law, by which the Provincial As semblies are not to meet this year on the first Tuesday in July. There are Fri Members ; of whom 130 voted for the law. . . The Courier gives the following particulars of the Secret Com mittee, yesterday:— M. Nothomb said, that on the arrival of our Commission at London, France and Prussia were under the influence of a pro posal made by the King of Holland, to make a partition of Belgium for the advantage of these two Powers ; but our En voys were obliged to begin by combatting this plan, as contrary to the wishes and the interest of Belgium. M. Nothomb en. tered into long details on the opinions of Prince Leopold, respect. ing the possibility of some (lay treating with Holland, so as to obtain most of the advantages which the acts of the Conference have hitherto denied us. M. Van de Weyer said, that as soon as the Prince arrived in Belgium he would endeavour to disengage himself from the in fluence of the Congress of London, and follow in all points the interests of Belgium. He said the Prince especially declared hi.; intention to insist strongly on Luxembourg. M. Beyts endeavoured to prove that M. Nothomb had not de. rived all the advantages that he might have done from our treaties of 1795, to establish our own rights to Dutch Flanders. The French Ambassador, who lately arrived from the Hague, set out yesterday morning for Paris. A British Cabinet Minister arrived yesterday morning with despatches from London, and set out again to return last night. o.morrow (Friday) there will be a public sitting, at eleven o'clock, to discuss the Treaty proposed by the Conference at London. P.S.—(From the Journal de la Belgique.)—To-day (Ist July: a preliminary motion, to the effect that the Ministers should pro pose resolutions on the results of the negotiations, was rejected by a majority of 129 to 56. Another proposal, tending to accept the preliminaries of peace proposed by the Conference, was deve loped. A third proposal was for indemnities in favour of the in habitants of the disputed countries ; it was signed by several Deputies.—Brussels Papers, July `.4.. I HAMBURG PAPERS. WARSAW, JUNE 20.—A1l the speeches made in the Cham ber of Deputies relative to the change oisGovernment, will shortly be printed complete, and published. Among the mani fold reproaches made by Couut Machowski against the present National Government, were the following :—That it had not furnished either the army or the capital with the necessary pro visions, though the latter might be very soon threatened by the Russian army crossing the Vistula. That it had established rather the despotism of the Press than the freedom of the Press, as all the Journals were but the organs of a faction, and the opposite opinion was hardly allowed to express itself. That it neglected the administration of justice; a great number of per sons being confined in prison without any legal investiga tion. That in its composition its presents to foreign Powers an appearance of republicanism. That, without the knowledge of the Diet, it has arbitrarily altered the tariff of customs. That in themonth of February it, without necessity, exempted. the inhabitants of Warsaw from the payment of the Excise duty ; had done nothing to keep up the value of the Treasury Notes, and had caused ducats with the Dutch die to be coined in the Mint. That the Members of Government loved their families more than their country ; had given to their relatives and cousins the offices of Referendaries, Councillors of State, and Presidents of the Waiwodeships. And, lastly, had quietly looked on while a certain General arbitrarily caused two citizens of Warsaw to be confined, who have now been in prison ever since the 24th of May, without any inquiry into the affair. The Warsaw Courier considers that the Mint, though it coins silver to the amount of 20,000 florins daily, is unable to • furnish sufficient coin to exchange the Treasury Notes, as the whole country proposes that the bells which were to be cast into cannon shall be coined into money, as was done in the French revolution. The same paper says, a plan has been proposed to the Diet to take all the superfluous church plate for the use of the country : bonds, bearing 6 per cent. interest, to be given for it, with a promise that it shall be restored to the churches at a future time. This proposal is said to have been adopted by the Senate. Another plan is said to have been presented, which proposes to take all the horses in Poland that are fit for the use of the army. The a rm s of the Grand Duchy of Lithu a ni a , re presenting an armed horseman in pursuit of the enemy, and called Pogon, are now hung up in the Hall of the Senate. Vincent at N Ty va 's r k sa ir w wicz, Chief of the Podolia') insurrection, has arrived The State Gazette (of Warsaw) repeats its accounts of the humane and liberal reception which General Dwernicki has everywhere met with on his journey to Laybach, as well from the authorities as from the population, not being treated as a prisoner, but a victorious hero, and accompanied -by a con siderable suite. FRONTIERS OF POLAND, JUNE 23.—There continues to prevail at Warsaw a very alarming spirit of insurrection, which is especially directed against General Skrzynecki, who is re reproached with employing about him none but unskilful officers who belong to certain great families. The late operations of the Russian army also contribute to increase the agitation in the capital, and some catastrophe is much apprehended. Since the 19th the Polish head-quarters have been at Warsaw, whence the Commander-in. Chief has sent some detachments by way of Jo chaejewo and Modlin, to meet the Russians, who are advancing. The latter entered Plock on the 19th and 20th, and were yester. day at Dobrzyn and Lipno. The roads from Warsaw, especially from Kutno,&c. are crowded with civil officers and other fugitives from Plock (or Polock) where the Russian troops are said to con. duct themselves very well, and to require nothing more than what they want for their subsistence. Near Warsaw a Russian corps has advanced to Jablonna, and has thrown bridges over the Narew at Zegroz and Sierozk. This is probably the corps of General Kreutz, whose junction with the main army the Poles were unable to prevent. It is said that some Cossacks have already been sent to the left bank of the Vistula. It is believed that an action has already taken place between the corps of Ge neral Itudiger and General Jankowiski and General Chrza. nowski, who arc said to be superior in force to General Rudiger. A heavy canonade was heard on the 29th, in the direction of Latowuz and Siennica. We may, accordingly, expect important events in a few (lays, especially as the Polish Commander in-Chief does not seem indisposed to otter battle to the Rus sian main army. BERLIN, JuNc. 26.—The St. Petcrsburgh Journals contain a report from General 'lOll on the death of Field-Marshal Die bitsch, of the cholera on the 10th. His Majesty the Emperor, considering the distinguished ser vices of the late Field-Marshal,i has ordered that his Regiment of Infantry shall retain its name of Diebitsch Sabalskanski.— Prussian Slate Gazette, June 27. ST. PETERSBURGH, JUNE 18.—By an Order of the Dav, dated the 16th inst., Field-Marshal Count Paskewitsch Erivanski has been appointed to the chief command of the active army, in th e room of Field-Marshal Count Diebitsch Sabalskanski, deceased. BERLIN, JUNE 25.—Letters from Memel announce thearrival in that city, on the 21st, of the Russian Field-Marshal Count Paskewitsch, on board of a st eam -b oa t. STOCKHOLM, JUNE 21.—Official intelligence has been re ceived that the cholera morbus has made its appearance at Archangel; measures have, in consequence, been taken to pre vent, if possible, its introduction into Norway. A Royal Edict has been pnblished, by which the free importa. Gun of barley and oats is permitted till the lath of August. Vessels bound to perform quarantine, and arriving at a quarantine station previously to that day, will enjoy the same privilege on the expiration of their time. HAMBURG, JUNE 28.—The Prussian State Gazette gives a long letter from Dr. Koch, who opened Marshal Diebitsch's body, and pronounces that the -Marshal died of the cholera. RIGA, JUNE 20.—Yesterday evening a report got into circula. tion here, that General Gielgud had been beaten by our troops, and had been in consequence obliged to retreat across the Nie men. The confirmation of this report is impatiently looked for. POLISH FRONTIERS, JUNE 21.—According to intelligence from Warsaw of the 23d, the attempt of the Poles against Gene ral Rudiger has failed. General Jankowski has been repulsed with loss of ammunition. He is said to have lost three aides-de camp. The Polish army is moving upon Plock. The head quarters of the Commander-in-Chief are at Modlin.—Prussian State Gazette, June 27. WARSAW, JUNE 23.—The Russian army has taken up can tonments along the Prussian frontier. The Grand Duke Michael is at Horzell. Were it not for the facility afforded to the Russians for drawing their supplies from Prussia, they would long since have been obliged to evacuate not only Poland, but also Lithuania, where the war has become completely national. It is to a Government which acts under the mask of neutrality, that the Russians are indebted fur safety. Last week our army advanced towards Siedlec, with a view to cut off the communi cations between General Rudiger and the main army. General Toll threw a corps into Plock by way of feint, to spread an alarm that he was there with his whole army. The ruse succeeded, our army drew near to Warsaw, and Gen. Rudiger, closely pressed by Gen. Romano and Jankowski, succeeded in effecting his escape, while Kreutz returned to his former position at Sledlee. The only consequence of the matutuvre has been, that General Turno, who commands Jankowski's advanced-guard, has had an oppor tunity of distinguishing himself in the most brilliant manner by keeping in cheek the whole of Rudiger's corps (15,000 men). On this occasion General Turno displayed admirable coolness and bravery. Plock has been evacuated. The corps which occupied that place has taken up a position at Niesawa, with its rear leaning against the Prussian frontier, and forms the extreme right of the Russian army. The cholera is scarcely ever spoken of Count A. Ostrowski, the Commandant of the National Gu,rd, yes terday published a proclamation to the population of Warsaw, in which all are called to take up arms, neither age nor bodily infirmity is admitted as an excuse; only those lying on a sick bed, or occupied by some important public business, may absent themselves ; those who are unable to arm themselves in any war, will receive a scythe or a pike from Government.
