~ •~ Z'OIIEIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (Fim the Moniteur of Saturday.) PARIS, JUNE 10..—1 t will be seen by the extracts 'from the English journals, received by express, -which we subjoin, that such of tlio ,, e papers as are habitually well informed respecting the affairs of their country, lay aside the affirmative tone of their news of the preceding day with respect to Belgium, and represent Prince Leopold and the Congress of London as exactly in the same situation as before the election of the King, and the a nnouncement of the departure of Lord Ponsonby and General Bel hard from Briis.e/s. On the other band, the Com missioners of the Belgic Government, and the De puties from Congress, are now in London, where they must have already received, from the mouth of the Prince himself, the expres , ion of his intentions, which must be presumed to be conformable to the wise and benevolent resolutions of the five Great Powers. Belgium had acquired all this good-will on the part of France, which, from the origin of the revol u ti on in that country, has given it such striking pr o of s o f it. It is not for us to recal, r eor is it possible for the Belgians to forget, the part taken by Prance in the first acts which guaranteed their zxternal inde pendence, and their domestic liberty. Let Belgium calculate the time that elapsed between the first day of its revolution and the day of its a d m i ss i on i nto the great European family; let it consider what efforts, what blood, it cost France, to pass over the same interval; let it compare its independence, ton summated in four months, with a laborious revolu tion of forty years, and it will be thz more sensible of what it owes to our sympathy. A question of boundaries became almost secondary after a question of independence, for a country, in the first place, is every thing, whatever it may be ; but it was, however, fitting that it should be worthy of Belgium supported by France. A natural deter. mination of the boundary offered. This was to adopt, after the separation of Belgium from Holland, the situation which it occupied before its union with France, that is to say, to assign to it the same ter ritory that it possessed at the time that it was placed under the dominion of Austria. The map of 1790, therefore, naturally became that of 1831, for be tween these two dates there had been no Belgium there had been a French province and a Dutch pro vince. This was really establishing Belgium on its foundations. Nay, on this plan of partition between the two Sates of the Netherlands there was even la decided advantage in one point for Belgium alone. However, the King of Holland acceded to it. The same readiness might have been expected on the part of the Belgiars, but they raised pretensions far above the basis, he political equity of which they could not Irowever dispute. The Belgians have claimed, 'auccessively, Luxemburg, the whole of Limburg, and the left bank of the Scheldt, ap pealing to concessions made in 1795, not to Bel gium, which was nothing itself, but to France, which had just incorporated Belgium with its own territory. Their extravagant pretensions gave reason so believe that the Belgians merely had it in view to obtain, by bringing them forward, an advan tageous rectification of their ancient limits, which were traced on several points in a manner as little favourable to them as to the Dutch--a rectification which the Congress at London has offered to faci litate by an arrangement, which exchanges and in demnities would render practicable. It is, therefore, still hoped, and with a confidence which proves to the Belgic nation the esteem of the French Go vernment, it is hoped, we say, that new ways to an accommodation, facilitated by the unanimity of Europe, and by the particular good will of France, I svill soon be opened. Meantime General Belliard, as well as Lord Ponsonby, necessarily left a city where their voice was no longer attended to. Our Government especially, even in proportion to its *vial regard for a people which so many ties and recollections attach to our country, owed the deter mination to the principles of civilization, and to the right confirmed by treaties. We take pleasure then in believing that the Bel gians, instead of listening to passion only will shortly return to wiser sentiments, arid will recognise the necessity and propriety on their own account of more moderate, more equitable, and more prudent con duct. Their probity, their good sense, will warn them that an infant state cannot arrogate to itself the right of disregarding the treaties which are respected by all others, and of marking its admission into the political system of Europe by a violent aggression against that very system. They will not present themselves as a cause of disturbances in Europe, and open a door to disorders, which some fiery spirits desire, as the sole means of realizing their dangerous projects. HAMBURG PAPERS. POLISH FRONTIERS, JUNE 3.—Accounts from the vicinity of Rayghod, of May 31, say that the Poles had succeeded in passing the fit)lra Bruck (which has been laid under water) at a shallow place, by which they had obliged General Sacken to retreat by way of Angustowo towards Grodno. On the other hand, accounts from Johannisberg say, that the Polish General, Gielgud, left Lomza on the 27th May, and retreated to Piontnitza, on the other side of the Narew. Lomza was occupied on that day by the Russian troops. On the 30th May they entered Szczuczyn, on the road to Augustowo. Several divisions of Palish troops have crossed to the left bank of the Vistula, to facilitate the sub sistence and the completing of the army. General Chlopiecki is said to have written from Cracow to General Skrzvnecki, reque-ting to have the com mand of a detached corps.—Prussian States Gazette. ST.PETERSBURGII,JUNE l. — Field-Marshal Count Paskewitsch Erivanski arrived here the day before yesterday. The journals of this city contain a long article on the insurrection in Lithuania, " of which," say they, " the most melancholy accounts are daily received, and convince us that extraordinary activity will be necessary to put down the insurrection, which, aim ing at the entire overthrow of the legal power, thinks no means too criminal for that object. The Lithuanian rebels try to gain adherents by execu tions, and gibbets, every where erected, are their trees of liberty. Public functionaries, who are true to their duties—landowners, who would not take part in the benefits of the anarchical government — postmasters, who would not obey the insurgents, have been hanged in different parts of the country. A woman, Countess Ronniker, distinguishes herself amidst the cruelties ; not content with exciting the fury of her partisans, she has gone so far as to have' a gallows erected on her premises, and to preside at the execution." The accounts received from different quarters re- ' hi)cting some ringleaders, confirm what might be presumed from the coincidence of their measures in point of time, and of the means employed by them, that is' to say, that these enormities have been com mitted under the guidance of a regular system, which has bee n lon with equal subtleness and wickednes s .: m 't e t r s i e e p e a x " e n c t ion of such a plan implied so many e against the 'life, theagamst the sup re me authority, prop erty , an d t h e h onour o f peaceable citizens, not to prove the necessity of the sevel e measures announced in the Imperial Ukase of April 3. Yet these regul'' o m f i s have excited the against revolutionary rage and apparent indignation " gloomy forebodings and j ourna l:, which with outcries Oriental despotism, indulge in and threats, which are, fortunately, harml ess . His His Majesty has received from Count e S s a s. .k fa vourable reports from proceedings i n Volhy L ni en Podolia against the rebels. They have been attacked and and defeated on various occasions, and the p ea ..l sainry, sensible how they have been deluded, every It hero take up arms against the rebels, and deliver them up to the local authorities. An important action took place on the 15th of May, between a detachment of the fifth corps of infantry, under General Roth in person, and about 5,000 rebels, with six cannon ; they were led by Count Rzewski and two brothers, named Sobenski, who were joined by the discharged General Kolyszyko. The rebel who had 3,000 cavalry, were wholly defeated, with the loss of 1,200 killed and wounded ; all the bag gage and artillery was 'captured, but only about 100 men were taken, as the biave soldiers in the ardour of a just indignatiOn gave quarters but to few. The remainder or the rebels dispersed, 'clotely pursued by the detachments se`nt out against them. Count Rzewski, arid Alex*tider Sobenski are said to hi' among the killed. Our loss does not exceed killed and wounded. Symptoms of cholera haVe again appeared in Bessarabia, esnet!..irry in the village on the Dnieper and Pretb. On the 23d of April the disorder op. pealed in Bialystock. On the 27th of May thr. emperor reviewed a large body of troona 'On the Field 'of Mars. The IMperial htruily, Count Paskewittecby and the diplo matie body were present. WARSAW„TiTINC new event Ims taken place since the bulletin of the 27th. Our army is taking rest, and is reinforced by the reserves which come from all pa'rts of the kingdom to join their regiment!. Our manufactories of arms have now fernlshed their first muskets, and a considerable number will be delivered every week. The powder manufactories, which furnish sixty cwt. daily, are in full work. The Diet has sent a derutatico to the Commander in -Chief, to testify its entire approbation of the conduct of the. army. But in the mean time the Rus sian Canmander has re-organized his army, after giving it some repose after the baffle of Owrolenka, and its preceding forced tta'rches. The Russians are DOW about Pulnisk, and the Poles occupy the line of the new Nurew and Bug. The country between the two armies is quite free, as well as Siedlec, and the country which was the theatre of war in May. immense mageints and supplies of every kind come te. the Russians from Dantzic, and while the exportation of every thing from Prussia that might be of use to us is prohibited, the supply of the Russian army is eagerly facilitated. A courier has just arrived with the news that General Chrapowski, who has penetrated to the in terior of Lithuania, met near Bialystock with a Russian column, on its march to the main army, and being seconded by the Lithuanian insurgents, has taken five cannon and many prisoners. We give this news without answering for its correctness. The insurrection in the southern provinces is daily spreading.— Hamburg Papers, June 10. BERLIN, JUNE B.—By an official proclamation, it is declared, that till further orders, bills of health granted in Russia Poland, or Gallicia, will not ex clude travellers and merchants from the quarantine regulations. This measure is rendered the more im perative in consequence of the policy said to have been adopted by the authorities of Riga, who, on the breaking out of the cholera there, considered it there duty to send for instructions to St. Peters burgh before publishing the fact. The consequence was, as it is well known, that many ships left the harbour of Riga with the infection on board, and yet provided with the regular documents generally granted to vessels leaving a perfectly healthy place. Several travellers arriving from Dantzic have been obliged to perform quarantine at the ga.es of this city. POLISH FRONTIERS, JUNE ..—On the Ist inst., Marshal Diebitsch's head-quarters were still at O trolenka. Between Dlottown and Loniza, neither Russian nor Polish troops were stationed ; on the other hand, the Cossacks had advanced to Grajewo, and had forced the peasants of Pogussen, a frontier village, to repair the bridge which had been de molished. The Russian Colonel Daine, of the en gineer corps, is mentioned as the Commander of Lomza. In the vicinity of Augustowo, strong Russian and Polish detachments are in presence of each other; and it is thought that an action is likely soon to take place between them. A report has just got into circulation that General Kreutz has crossed the Vistula at Pulawy, but this requires con firmation.—Prussian Stale Gazelle. COPENHAGEN, JUNE 3.—A Russian man-of-war and a frigate were seen southward of Drags, pro bably the vessels commissioned to convey the Grand Duchess Helena to England. DUT CH PAPERS. THE HAGUE, JUNE B.—The First Chamber of the States-General has to-day agreed to the project of law, containing modifications of the tariff of duties on importations, exportation, and transit. His Highness the Prince of Saxe Weimar, after passing a few days in this city, has returned to Breda. JUNE 9.—ln the sitting of the Second Chamber to-day, the project of law ft.r a vote of credit to the Government was discussed at great length. Nineteen Members spoke for or against it. The Minister of Finance having replied to the objections made to the law, the question was put, and the law passed by a majority of 31 to 16 votes. ROTTERDAM, JUNE 10.-By the Helena Chris tina, from Batavia, we have received Java papers to the Bth of February. They contain a proclama tion of the Governor-General, announcing that the war in Java being happily concluded, the Govern ment was enabled to relieve the inhabitants from part of their burdens. _ About the middle of September Mount Brama, in Passarcean, had thrown up a quantity of ashes, and there had also been vast quantities of ashes thrown up by the great mountain Mahamern, south of Brama, a phenomenon wholly new to the oldest inhabitants of Passumean. On the 31st of January orders were issued by the Governor in Council, conformably to his Ma jesty's commands, that the tri-coloured French flag was to be recognised in the Dutch East India colonies. Accounts of the commencement of the insurrection in Belgium have been received at Batavia. AMSTERDAM, JUNE 10. Actual Debt, 2} per cent 39 to 39% Amort Syndic, 4% per cent.

One of the two Sunday advocates of the bo roughmongers, alluding to the sale of the late KING'S robes, insinuates that " orders had been given to do the thing in this manner, to endeavour to add another slur to the many vented against the patriotic GEORGE the Fourth by the radical rips of the day !" Query—Who was it that gave orders for the sale of the clothes of the late Queen CHaaLorrE, the mother of GEORGE the Fourth? CURIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE. — Last week, as a gentleman was shooting rabbits in Cotcliffe.wood, near Northallerton, he surprised a viper in the grass, which sprung into a small hole, but almost immediately retreated, pursued by a mole, which seized it, near the entrance, by the throat, killed it, and then dragged it into its habita tion. In a short time, however, the mole returned, and hunted about the entrance, as if in search of more prey. York Herald. BEST FRENCH EDITION OF BOURIENNE'S MEMOIKS.—" Messrs. COLBURN and BENTLEY have just published a new French Edition of BOURIENNE'S Me moirs of BONAPARTE, to which we can safely call the favourable attention of our readers, as containing nume rous notes and illustrations, by contemponneous authori ties, and eye-witnesses of many of the transactions re corded, which are only to be found in this Edition. There are seventeen embellishments—it is better printed than any preceding copy, and it is only half the price of the Paris Editions. This last peculiarity is worthy of remark, because it has hitherto been the else that English prices have far exceeded the foreign ones—and when the wtniS tactually still better m or e ark than the bfleur.egn "—Juhn Bull. one, the reduction in the cos , r Li merick is sad indeed. Thousands are now in that state of destitution we would trembl e to describe; but, as the wretchedness we know to exist cannot be concealed much longer, it would be criminal not to call upon our wealthy fellow-citizens to guard against a continuanc e of those feelings of despairastarvin u ga t. n r d . : L nl i y in h er tm p p o l , o t yed . po . - pulation are now suffering nd POLAND , ADDRESS OF THE' Ik'44 oivAL GO - OF POLAND TO THE INHABITANTS OF LITHUANIA, VOL HYNIA, PODOLIA; AND VKRAINE. ARETHREN AN;) Piti,ol",'-CITIZENS " The Nxtio"..al 'Government of regenerated Poland, happy on being able at last to address you in the name of the bond of brotherhood and liberty, is anxious to lay before you the present state of our countrr, and to show you our ‘Nanttr, tt r etting'c'& 7 tibd Napes. " the hall which 134arattd us is broken down —your wishes and'ours are realised. The Polish eagle flies over our territory :—united as we are hand and heart, we will henceforth proceed in concert to accomplish the difficult, perilous, but just and sacred, work—the restoration of cu'.' country. " The Manifesto of the Diet, in explaining the causes of our rising, gave en account of our sentiments as well as of yours. Scarcely had we risen in arms, provided with but few means, and uncertain what course to pursue, before we showed to the world and to the Emperor Ni v:holas that the same spirit animated us, and that we were desirous to become as we had formerly bt en, but one and the same nation. The Emperor Nicholas did not wish to consecrate the tomb of his brother by a monument which, during the life-time of Alexander, would have waled the glory of his reign. " He did not wish to regard us as Poles bowed down with injuries—as citizens of a free and independent country —and would treat with us only as slaves who had rebelled against Russia. We have arrested—we have driven back the threatening phalanxes of the different corps ; of what our army was composed, some fought here against the main body of the army, others penetrated into your provinces to call forth our brethren to range themselves under the national banner. You did not wait for this appeal. " At the very commencement of the insurrection many of your citizens explained their sentiments and the wishes in the National Assembly, and some raised regiments dig nified by the names of your provinces--in fine, whole dis tricts of Lithuania and Volhynia rose en masse. " The partition of Poland has been denominated a crime by the unanimous voice of Europe, and who at this day will revoke such a decision? Who will venture to come forward as the champion against it? Undoubtedly none ! And we have the well-grounded hope that Europe will hasten to recognize our independence as soon as we have proved by our courage—our perseverance—our union—mode rate and noble conduct, that we deserve to be a free nation. This revolution is only a consequence of our op pression and our misfortunes. It was the wish of our hearts —and at ices from the nature of our history, which displayed our determination from the very beginning, and proved that our rising was not of foreign origin. It is not civil war—it is not tainted with the blood of our brethren— we have not overturned social institutions in order to raise up new ones at chance—it is the war of Independence— the most just of wars. That is the character of our Revolu tion, which is at once mild but firm—which with one arm conquers the enemy, and with the other raises and ennobles the needy peasant. " We admire England and France—we wish to be like them, a civilized nation, but without ceasing to be Poles ! Nations cannot and ought not to change the elements of their existence. Each has its climate, in dustry, religion, manners, character, education, and his tory. From these different elements spring the feelings or passions which display themselves in revolutions, and the circumstances proper to be adopted in their future conduct. " Individuality strongly expressed forms the power of a people. We have preserved ours in the midst of slavery. Love of country—prepared to make every sacrifice— courage—piety—noble-mindedness, and gentleness formed the character of our forefathers. These qualities also are ours. " The patriots of Warsaw triumphed without either chiefs and without law, yet with what crime can they be charged ? An army of thirty thousand men, in short the whole kingdom, rose as if by enchantment, and how did they conduct themselves towards the Grand Duke Constantine ? that Prince who for fifteen years had shown himself desti tute of regard or pity for our feelings and liberties was in our power, but he knew the nation, and just to it for only once, he entrusted his person and his army to our honour ! At the moment of Aram we did not listen to the voice of public vengeance, but respected the Prince and his troops, without taking advantage of our superiority. Our battalions, who had awaited with a firm determination all the forces of Russia,—allowed to peas through their ranks the fallen enemy, whose safety was guaranteed by the national honour. " The generosity of the nation has been proved by many isolated facts, and Europe admires our moderation as much as our valour. Brethren, fellow-citizens, equal admiratian still awaits us. Without delay, then come forward with the whole of your force simultaneously, and act as one man in peace and in war ; it is the people who are the source of all power. To the people then direct your views and your affections. Children, worthy of your fathers, you will act like them. You will break the odious bonds, and you will cement a Holy Allianee by reciprocal benefits and by gratitude. In other countries it is by fire, and fire alone, that the people recover their liberties—here those liberties are received as the gift of their brethren. — A generous, just, and necessary deed will become the act only of your own choice, and you will proclaim to the people their independence, and the return of the Polish eagles to their native soil. Our fields will lose nothing in cultiva tion and value when they are tilled by the industry of brave men. You will be enobled in the eyes of civilized Europe, and your country will gain millions of fellow citizens, who I ike our brave peasants will fly to the defence of their liberty, and drive back a power whose character is that only of slavery. Do not forget, brethren and fellow-citizens, that the Greek religion is professed by a great part of the people. Toleration is one of the qualities of civilization. The Clergy, the Churches, and Religion shall be placed under the protection of the Government, and will lend you their assistance in carrying this measure of justice into effect." [The address then goes on to enumerate the respect paid by Polish Noblemen to religious rites and feelings, and calls on the people on this occasion to follow that ex ample. Also to send Deputies from the different pro vinces to the National Congress. It then goes on to de scribe the vast power of Russia, and the difficulties to be encountered much in the same strain as the proclamation of Skr)zneeki], and concludes thus " God bath already wrought prodigies for us. God, and not the Emperor of Russia, will be our Judge! He will decide." " HE will decide who bath committed perjury—who has been the victim of oppression—and who ought to ob tain the victory. We have already fought with success in the name of the God of our fathers, and we will fight till at length we accomplish the ends of justice. All the nations of Europe possessed of feelings of humanity tremble for our fate and exult with joy at our successes. These only wait your general rising to hail you as mem bers of the free and independent nations of Europe. "Brethren and fellow citizens!—when we shall have finished this teriible and unequal contest, we will invite the powers of Europe to form themselves into a tribun Ll of justice ;—we will appear before them covered with our blood,—lay open the book of our annals —unrol the chart of Europe and say, Behold our cause and yours! The injustice done to Poland is known to you; --you behold her despair ; fur her courage and gene rosity appeal to her enemies !' " Brethren ! let us hope in God. He will inspire the breasts of our judges, who, inspired by eternal justice, will say, LONG LIVE POLAND ! FREE AND INDEPENDENT !

We give in this day's Sun an address of the National Government of Poland to the inha bitants of Lithuania, Volhynia, Podolia, and Ukraine. It is a most firm, temperate, emphatic document, and will, no doubt, answer the purpose for which it is designed. From the very late hour of the day at which we have received it, we are unable to speak of it as its importance deserves. The following are extracts from the Lisbon Gazelle of the Ist instant, and the Allgemeine Zeitung to the Bth, received this morning :-- LISBON, MAY 31. ROYAL BOARD OF TRADE.-EDICT. The Royal Board of Trade, Agriculture, Manufactures, and Navigation of the Kingdom has issue,' the following Notice:— "MOST ILLUSTRIOUS AND EXCELLENT SENOR,—M . Camas, charged with the Consulate of France, who lately resided in this capital, having addressed to his Majesty's Government reclamations, which, at the same time that they were not in the attribute of his official character, were entirely contrary to the plainest and repeated declarations of hie Government, that it would nut interfere in the in ternal affairs of other countries, and which neither the law of nations nor common usage ever authorised persons in such offices to make, it was replied to }aim, that as he had not the character established by the law of nations to make communications of that nature, which exceeded the limits of the Consular office, the Government of his Ma jesty found it impossible, for these reasons, to give an an swer to them. Notwithstanding this answer, founded on principles that were hitherto never disputed in any country, the said Consul resolved to withdraw and set out for France, summoning the French residing in this king dom to accompany him, to which only a few agreed, most of them remaining tranquil under the safeguard of the laws and of the authorities, which never fail to protect foreigners who peaceably gain their livelihood. Several French ships of war, viz., two frigates, two corvettes, and a brig, having appeared on the coast of these kingdoms, the Commander of that squadron sent a despatch to his Majesty's Government, in which he made the following demands:— 1. That Edmund Polineaux Bonhomme should be set at liberty and the sentence pronounced upon him annulled, because the application of the punishment pronounced by that sentence was considered as an insult to France. 2. The dismissal of the Judges who pronounced that sentence, and the official publication of the act annulling it. 3. An indemnity of 20,000 francs to the said Bonhomme. 4. That Claude Sauvenot, declared to be a naturalised Portuguese, who had violated the laws of the kingdom, and was sentenced, by an extraordinary commission, to ten years' banishment to Africa, should be set at liberty. 5. An indemnity of 6,000 francs to each of the two Frenchmen, Gambey and Mallon, arbitrarily arrested at Oporto, and one of 3,000 francs to another Frenchman, named Dupont, who was imprisoned at Lisbon one year, and all three expelled from Portugal by a sentence from which no culpability results. 6. The indemnity of 10,000 francs previously claimed by M. Cassas for the engraver Dubois, for the injury done him during his confinement in prison. 7. An indemnity of 20,000 francs for the Frenchman Mohene, already left Lisbon, and for the freight of the ship Jumeaux an indemnity, the amount of which shall be fixed in the sequel for those who, having remained at Lisbon since the departure of the Consul, have suffered any injury. 8. The strict observance in future of the privileges of the French, not to be liable to arrest, except by order of the Judge Conservator of the privileged nations. Immediately after the French C onsul had made demands which he was incompetent to make , his Ma j est y 's Go vernment applied to the Allies of the Crown of Portugal, with whom there exist dispositions of constitutional law and solemn treaties, in order to treat of this business in a manner suitable to the honour of these kingdoms.— Accordingly, an answer was returned to the said Com mander, that the Portuguese Government not having any person at Paris authorised to treat on such a subject, and M. Cassas also nut being authorised by any diploma com municated to tie Portuguese Government, the Govern ment of his Majesty found it impossible to come to an understanding with the French Government by any of the above means ; but desiring, however, to come to a de cision, it had resolved to treat immediately by means of the Allies of the Crown of Portugal ; and that, under these circumstances, it would not be conformable either to motives of delicacy or to the nature of such a transac tion, to give the categorical answer which was re quired. That his Majesty's Government hoped that h e would communicate this answer as soon as possible to his Government, and that any violent measures which b e might employ, contrary to the spirit of this statement, would not fail to be considered by all nations as an act of unprovoked aggression. Notwithstanding this communi cation, the French man of war proceeded to capture the Portuguese brigantine Constante, which came from Para. in these disagreeable circumstances the King, our Sove reign, has been p l ea s ed to order the above particulars to be comm unicated to the Royal Board of Trade, that it may cause the same to be duly published, his Majesty, hoping that such occ urrenc es will shortly cease through the means a l re ady adopted , and such other as his Majesty may deem expedient, all which your Excellency will make known to the tribunal. . . _ Viscount de SANTAREM. palace of Queluz, May 30, 1831.

VIENNA, JUNE I.—The appearance of the cholera in two circles of Gallicia has induced our Government to adopt the measures which are the beet calculated to effect the cure of the patients, and to prevent the spreading of the disorder into the interior of the monarchy. There is the mote reason to hope that. this measute will be eflea tual, as the mortality seems already to abate in the Jews' quarter at Lemberg, where eighteen persons fell vie rims to it in a few days. Our letters from Warsaw are to the 27th. Baron Von Munch Brilinghansen is stil here, and will not return to Frankfort for some weeks. The number of the Carlists here daily increases by the arrival of new comers. We hear that Lieutenant Field-Marshal Zuechi, having been brought before a Court-martial, at Gratz, has been condemned to death, but pardoned by the Effiperoh VIENNA, JUNE 2.—Four per Cent. Metalliques, 71 ;; Bank Shares, 1,046. We have just seen an address " to the re -I:abtleicsly of that borough. issued by or d er re spectable householders and inhabitants of the town and county of the borough of Carmar tolfi the Mayor c o l a h n a d s be ia en g It is a most extraordinary production, full of grotesque imagery, and grammatical solecisms, couched in the most solemn and sounding phraseology ; in fact, it is just such an address as a Mayor might be expected to compose, and a Magistrate to countenance. After exhort ing the inhabitants to make every effort to pre serve the peace of the town, it goes on to speak of the late proceedings of an unruly mob, who, it seems, " have occasionally selected for their depredations that still hour of the night, when all the well-regulated, the most relig'ous, and civilized portion of the community have hereto- fore been accustomed to venerate, as an im penetrable halo, encircling their abodes with confident protection and repose." This passage which in point of meaning is as " impenetrable" as the midnight " halo" of which it speaks, reminds us forcibly of the poetical sallies of the Right Hon. G. DAWSON ; how it is to answer the purpose of its author, we cannot for the life of us conceive, for most assuredly not one in ten of the inhabitants of Carmarthen will be able to understand it. What a wonderful man his Wor ship must be, to be able to write in the vertia• cular with such exquisite ambiguity as to defy the most strenuous efforts of the schoolmaster to gain even a Mount Pisgah glimpse of his meaning ! His Worship proceeds as follows :—" We, the Mayor, and Magistrates of this Borough, consider it a duty imperative upon us to appeal to you, and to call you, individually and col lectively as we now do, to co-operate with us for the safety of your persons, for the protection of your properties, and for the good government of this community, and that you should come for ward as good citizens, to indicate your own dignity and respectability in society, and above all, to distinguish yourselves from those of the community who are the subject of com plaint, and by every legitimate means in your poner to put down the system of tumult, law- iessnesF, and every disorder that has and now is stalking barefaced abroad amongst you, and which, if not timely suppressed, may, by neglect or indifference, grow to a strength not in your power, or in the power of the law, to suppress without consequences of evils that cannot at present be well anticipated. We beg also to declare that we are ready and determined, as far as lay in our power, to uee every legal means to bring to condign punishment all such persons that may be discovered as having offended, as well as all those who may offend in any of the matters before alluded to." If ever the Right Hon. G. DAWSON bea this in point of grammar, terseness, and imagery, we will agree to eat him, whiskers and all. It is more confused than chaos itself. The riddle of the Sphynx is a joke to it. Conceive " a system of tumult stalking barefaced abroad in the streets of Carmarthen !" No wonder the Mayor and Magistrates were frightened out of what few wits they ever had, at the monstrous apparition ! Why did they not put the hob goblin in the stocks, or baptise him in the horse pond ? Verily, they have much to answer for. We notice this address, not from any intrinsic importance it possesses, but because, all circum stances considered, it is really one of the greatest curiosities we ever met with. Carmarthen, we be lieve, consists of a Mayor and twelve Aldermen —how very strange that not one of the thirteen knows how to write even two consecutive sen tences in English ! Yet these dunderheads, not withstanding their superlative stupidity, presume to suppose that they can understand the bearings of a great complicated question like Reform ; that they are actually competent to give advice to the enlightened inhabitants of Carmarthen ! The blockheads ! They deserve to be sent to the charity school for their ignorance ; to be de corated with a cap and bells ; to be soundly flogged ; and sent to bed night after night with• out their supper, till they have learnt the first rudiments of English Grammar. Under the head of Queen-square, our readers will find a Police Report which conveys a lively idea of the wisdom of some parts of our criminal law. A poor Turk, without a friend in the world, charges a girl named SOPHIA CHAP MAN, with robbing him of half a sovereign. The case being proved, the offender is of course committed. But what follows ? Why, the Turk is bound over to prosecute ; but declining to do so on the very jus tifiable plea, that when the trial comes on he will be absent from London, whither business imperatively calls him, he is actually committed to Kingston Gaol, to the certain ruin of his trade And to this punishment he is consigned, because a girl has thought fit to rob him of half a sove reign ! Why, the prosecutor is actually worse off than the criminal. Both are imprisoned, but the punishment of the one will probably ter minate with a month at the tread-mill, while the other will lose not only his half-sovereign, but his trade, his country connexions, his prospects, and perhaps his all. Who, after this, will ever think of prosecuting for the public good ? As the law at present stands, it is neither more nor less than an act of suicidal folly. It is said in the city that Messrs. ItoTtr- SCHILD have an order for 200,000 stand of arms on ac count of the Russian Government, and also that our 3lini eters, the manufacturers not being able to supply them fast enough, have consented to let them have a consider able number from the Tower, taking the new ones in ex change as they can be got ready. The latter part of the story, however, it need scarcely be remarked, is a vile calumny, and requires no contradiction. It would be the moat unpopular act a British Ministry could commit to facilitate by any means whatever the obtaining of arms by despotism to put down freedom.— Times.

As soon as we can give any certain infot mation we will lose no time in com municating it. " The British schooner Providence, Clark, chartered by the Portuguese Government, sailed yesterday ; it is said she is to ct uise for homeward-bound ships, to warn them of their danger, and to go to the Western Islands to ascer tain what is going on there. The schorner Hiram, Gibson, engaged by the Government for a similar purpose, has been detained by Captain Phillips, of his Majesty's ship Ariadne, said to be caused by her not having proper clearances. " A Portuguese squadron, consisting of a line-of-battle ship, three heavy frigates, two corvettes, and two brigs, are preparing for sea, with a despatch quite unusual here ; but their destination is not known." Extract from the Agents to Lloyd's, at St. Übe's, dated June 2 : " A few days back, three of our coasters, hound to northern ports of the kingdom, were chased by the French squadron off Cape Espeigle.

Singapore Papers to the 7th January and New York Papers to the 17th May, have been received at the North and South American Coffe-housc, by the London line packet ship Hudson, Captain Morgan. (Prom the Singapore Papers. )—The recal from Canton of the supercargoes or members of the Select Committee, con tinue to be the subject of much remark among those con nected with East India affairs ; the immediate cause is said to be the dispute with the Chinese, which these gen tlemen are suspected of having brought on through an an xiety to protect their own private interests in preference to those of their employers, the East India Company. The private trade at Canton goes on as usual, though the Company are excluded from it. On the 21st instant, a fire broke out on boardthe Man lius, while in the roads taking in her cargo, but assistance being promptly rendered, the fitmes were extinguished. AVA.-llespatches have been received from Major Bur ney, the British resident at Ava ; it is stated that the un derstanding between the Court and the British resident is very gratifying.

She left here on her regular trip to Pro vidence on Saturday afternoon, with about 60 passengers. Off Stratford Point she came in contact with the steam boat Livington, at twelve o'clock at night. The Wash ington was much injured, she filled with water in 45 mi nutes, and went down ; all the passengers except two are supposed to have got on board the Livington, and arrived safe yesterday afternoon. Accounts from Mexico of the 10th of April state that Ramos had surrendered himself with 900 men. The town of Acapulco has been fired by Alvares. The con ducta had arrived at Vera Cruz with 937,936 dollars in silver, and 293,960 in gold. The Mexican Government had transmitted 139,773 dollars to England to pay divi dends on its stock. _ _ Accounts from Brest, of the 7th June, state that the French Government will not relax in the least of their de mands on Don Aliguel, and that Ministers will send Count Admiral Roussin with full powers, and should the Portuguese refuse to comply with the demands of France, he is to continue hostilities. It is believed that the Souffren, at Cherbourg, and some frigates from Toulon, are to join his flag. To-day there are embarking two companies, to land in the Tagus if required. THE FUNDS. Consols, which left off yesterday at 82i for the ac count, opened at 82k, but soon after they got up to 82i 83. This improvement is attributed to an opinion that , the affairs of Belgium are in a train of settlement. A Lisbon mail arrived this morning. We hear all was quiet there, as it was expected that Don Miguel, sooner or later, must humble to the French. We have accounts this morning that the French squadron off the Tagus has made six more captures of Portuguese ships. Consols are at present 82i buyers, with a good market. In the Foreign Market little or nothing doing. HALF-PAST ONE. The private letters from Lisbon by the mail this morn ing bring accounts that Don Miguel still remains obsti nate, and will not comply to the demands of the French Government. The greatest activity prevails in the arsenal of Lisbon, and four frigates are preparing for sea. Don Miguel must certainly be out of his mind to think he can resist the force of the French, and no doubt he will con- • tinue in that marl delirium until the French send a few bllnbs into the town. All the letters from Germany state that the greatest slam prevails it will spread in eve r y part of the Continent.
