GG grin PUBLIC ATTENTION" is particularly requested to the state of their Locks, and those generally offered to them for sale, and are at the same time respectfully c iutioned against purchasing any Locks (where security is valued) but the Bramahrian Lock, with seven guards, manufactured by S MORDAN and Co. The invaluable security this Lock affords ought to make it a chief point with the heads of families to use ❑e other, protecting their children and domestics from falling into those snares which temptation and curiosity too often lead to, and giving an inviolable security to property (such as private papers, moveable stock, &c.) in the absence of the principal. Bankers, Merchants, and others, who may wish to be satisfied as to the security of the Locks they are now de pending on, will be honestly informed by applying ?erson ally at the Manufactory, 22, Castle-street, Finsbury, Lon don, or by letter (post-paid). The fame of Mr. GRATTAN'S last historical Romance of " Jacqueline of Holland," having, we un derstand, reached the ears of an illustrious and widowed Princess, the work has bee❑ carefully read by her to her Royal daughter, as a bright example of what a Queen should be when subjected to the vicissitudes of fortune. USE OF THE TELESCOPE.—On our arrival at Muscat we were visited by men of all nations and colours. A good telescope happening to be placed so as to give a complete view of one of the farthest fortifications, I called an Arab to look through it, and he did so for about a minute, then gazed with the most eager attention at me, and, without saying a word, dashed over the ship's side. When the boat he was in got to a little distance, he ex claimed, "You are magicians, and I now see how you take towns; that thing (painting to the telescope), be they ever so far off, brings them as near as you like." We were much amused with his simplicity, but no arguments could prevail on him to return and receive such a lesson on optics as might dispel his delusion.—Sketches of Persia. The following extraordinary system of Parlia mentary corruption, at the commencement of the reign of GEORGE 111., i 9 related by Sir NATHANIEL WRAXALL, which is confirmed by the Bishop of LLANDAFF, in the anecdotes of his life, and also in ALmort's " Life of Lord CHATHAM :"—g4 JOHN Ross MACKAY, who had been private secretary to the Earl of BUTE, and afterwards, during seventeen years, was Treasurer of the Ordnance, a man with whom I was personally acquainted, frequently avowed the fact. He lived to a very advanced age, sat in several Parliaments, and only died in, I believe, 1795. A gentleman of high professional rank, and unimpeachable veracity, who is still alive, told the that, dining at the late Earl of BEsnoitonon's, in Cavendish-square, in the year 1790, where only four persons were present, including himself, Ross MACKAY, who was one of the number, gave them the most ample information on this subject. Lord BESBOROUGH having called after dinner for a bottle of ex cellent Champagne, a wine to which MACKAY was partial, and the conversation happening to turn on the means of governing the House of Commons, MACKAY said that money formed, after all, the only effectual and certain me thod. The peace of 1763, continued he, was carried through, and approved by a pecuniary distribution. No. thing else could have surmounted the difficulty. I was myself the channel through w bleb the money passed. With my own band I secured above 120 votes, on that most important question, to Ministers ;-80,0001. were set apart for the purpose. Forty Members of the House of Commons received from me 1,0001. each. To 80 others I paid 5001. each. MACKAY afterwards confirmed, more than once, this fact, to the gentleman above mentioned, who related it to me." SINGULAR AND EXTRAORDINARY DIS COVERY OF A BOY WllO LEFT HIS PARENTS AT HALIFAX UPWARDS OF TWO YEARS AGO.-Many of our readers will, no doubt, have seen a boy, dressed as a sailor, and singing ballads in this town for some wetks back. During his sojourn to this island he visited Castletown, Peel, and Ramsay, and was at Laxey Fair. His name is WILLIAat HALLEWELL, but he has gone by the name of WILLIAM DENMAN. The boy, who is only twelve years of age, ran away from his industrious parents in April, 1829, and was advertised in the Halifax Chronicle at the time. His parents and friends travelled in search of him through all the different towns in Yorkshire and Lancashire. Still the boy could not be found ; and it appears from his own statement, that on leaving Halifax he travelled through the different towns and villages until he arrived at Staley bridge, in Lancashire. Here he fell in with a blind man and a man of the name of DENMAN. lie was engaged by DENMAN to go with the blutd man and beg, which he did from town to town, until be was about three miles from Halifax. They then took the road to Liverpool, and during their stay DENMAN took the lad on board the John and Nancy, hound for N:lw York, and hired hint with the Captain, giving his name as DENMAN (not Halle well), which he has travelled by ever since., They sailed from Liverpool, and were out about nine months, and arrived in Liverpool at Christmas, 1830, when the lad ran away from the ship, in consequence of severe treatment' He hogged his way to Wlntehaven, thenc e to Wigton, in Cumberland, where b e fell in with on e AARON fattinNE ' . his wife, and a little g irl, who were strolli ng over t h e country as ballad singers. He joined thi s t r i o, and soon wastoads primo of the party. In this c a p ac i ty t h ey visited Newcastle a nd Shields, Sunderland, Stockton-on when a party of gentlemen f rom Hali 'pees, &e., when they came to this island, where they had been uutii l l v ' e r r i e day vitaz, who siting this town, had their attention drawn to the lad's good voice and manner in singi ng . o n , of the party observed to another, that this must be JouN lIALLEwELL's lad, who had been lost for nearly three )ears. He accordingly addressed the lad by his real name, who was struck almost dumb, and fell into tears. The party immediately to ok him to their lodging s , w h en he related this narrative, w hich we can rely upon, as t h e ttentlemen who discovered hint believe, and for whose kindness his distressed parents will no doubt be for ever grateful. It gives us pleasure to add, that several l a di es and gentlemen called upon the lad after it became known in the town, and left him some donations, which are taken rare of until they arrive in Liverpool, where they wili new-clothe him, as be begged not to be taken home in his present attire. The party sailed with the lad on Saturday morning last, on board the William IV., and before out paper goes to press he will, we hope, be finally restored to his distressed parents..—Manx (Douglas) Advertiser. FRANCE. 29, 1831. To the EDITOR of the MORNING CHRONICLE. Paris, August 24. SIR,—I laughed very heartily last night on read- T;4- some of the London Papers, and especially the Globe, which stated that M. Casimir Perier had a large majority in the Chamber of Deputies for his system of " e Charter and Peace." Never were men mo - • -ed—never was an address less Mi nisterial. e ere good men forget, if they ever knew, which rdoubt much less, what was the sys tem of M. Casimir Perier, and what is the system he Minister is now compelled to adopt in order to ,- ecere to himself a gradual and honourable retreat ! His syqsm was, c Let Poland rake het: chance. Let the Ad ions do as they will in Italy! Let England settle 'the question of Belgium as her merchants may think fit ! Let the Spanish Refugees be kept in a sort of large town prison to prevent a move ment in favour of liberty and emancipation ! Lst am Miguel keep possession of the throne of Portugal ! Let the affairs of Europe be settled by the Holy Alliance in London ! Let mobs be put down in France ! Carlists and Royalists be conciliated by naming them to the best posts, and keeping them there. Let the Priests be flattered and courted, well paid, and well fed ! Let the Journals be kept in order by the public prosecutor, until the Press shall be ruined by. the Tribunals ! Let the men of the Restoration be honoured and applaudeT, -- and the men of the Revolution be well watched and kept under ! Let the number of elec tors he lessened instead of augmented, and the Aris tocracy be reconciled as much as possible to the change of dynas'y ! Let bankers and capitalists guide us in our system and our negotiations; and whatever can make the Stocks rise let us encourage, and whatever may alarm the Renders let us avoid ! Let the Peers remain hereditary, the landed proprietors be flattered and bribed ; and then—eh consummation devoutly to ha wished ! why then we may hope to have our Revolution re-, cognized by the Emperors of Austria and Ruseia, the Kings of Prussia and Holland, and even Ferdi nand and the Pope will confer on us their blessing !" This was the system of M. Casimir Perier when he accepted office—when he dissolved the Chamber of Deputies—when he convoked the Electoral Col leges—when he addressed his circular to the Prefects, and when he framed the speech of Louis Philippe to the new Parliament. Even up to the last moment he was so in love with his own system, that he imagined it was universally admired ; and it was not until the address came on for discussion, that M. Perier discovered he had caught a Tartar, and that the Chamber was " ungovernable ;" and now his system is altered ! Though defeated, and re-defeated over and over again, yet he changes with the weather, and says, " I am the majority, but I must march with the Chamber." This is all we require—and yesterday the Deputies of France gave him a convincing proof that he is not the majority, but that if he would march at all he must adopt and accede to tee opi nions of the Chamber. Well, then, yesterday the Minister was again de feated ! You will remember that when the Elec toral Law was under discussion in the last Chamber of Deputies, it was proposed to those Charles-the- Tenth Members that the additional land-tax which had been imposed for the year 1831, in order to meet the extra charges of that year, occasioned by the or ganization of a large offensive or defensive French at my, should be counted by those who paid it as a' portion of their taxes, and that if they paid two hun dred francs per annum, including such additional land -tax, they should be entitled to vote as electors. The old Chamber, of course, rejected this amend ment. The rejection was unjust, absurd, and impolitic; but as the passing of the amendment would have made 30,000 more electors in France, who, if they could not count the additional land-tax with the rest of their contributions, would not pay the necessary amount to qualify them, and as M. Casimir Perier wished to have the new Chamber Aristocratical, instead of National, why these thirty thousand citizens were refused their just rights, and this present Chamber has been returned without their assisting at the elections. So yesterday, on the discussion of a project for postponing the pub lication of the electorial lists this year until 31st December, M. Mauguin, of the extreme of the Extreme Gauche, the very chief and head of the Mouvement Party, whose principles and opinions are well known, and about whom there can be no question, proposed an amendment to the effect that the additional centimes added to the land-tax by the law of 15th April, 1830, should be included by the tax-payers in the total amount of their contri butions, arid which, if they altogether amounted to 200 f., as required by the Electoral Law, should entitle them to vote as electors. This proposal was received with approbation, and M.Mauguin in an able and c onstitutional speech, demonstrated the justice and the sense of the meaqare. But the Govern ment was opposed to the alteration—the Minister of Commerce made its rejection a Cabinet question, and the Commissary of the King charged to defend the law project as originally presented, added his feeble voice to the necessity of making the law of 1831 correspond with the law of 1830, arid, therefore, of rejecting the amendment. But their arguments were vain—their reasons were ridiculed—die new Chamber under stood and felt its mission, and the amendment of M. Mauguin was carried by a majority of four or five to one ! The adoption of this proposition is impor. tant as a matter of fact and as a matter of principle; as a matter of fact it is important, because it is a Ministerial defeat—because it shews that the Cham ber is not to be driven or drilled by M. Casimir Pe rier—because it demonstrates that the system of the Minister, which is one of an aristocratical and ex clusive c haracter, is condemned—because 30,000 citizens will have the right to vote, who never be fore were qualified, arid who all belong to the de mocracy—and because, as many elections will take place during the concluding months of this year, those elections will be all popular, and the Deputies returned will swell the majority against the system of the Minister, even with all the changes which have been made in it since the commencement of the Session. But the adoption of this amendment i s also important as a matter of principle. It de. cider that all taxes are to count—that the Chamber of Deputies must revise the present Electoral Law —that the suffrage will and must be extended—that the representation of France will be made more national than it is at present, and that th e Revolution of July is march ing. I told you yesterday, that in spite of all the o bstacles opposed by lukewarm friends and by a vowed enemies t o th e progress o f f ree d om an d ci vilization, the cau se ga i ne d groun d ; an d a f ew h ours after I had written th a t l e t ter , I was p resen t at th e triumph of the sam e cause , when, by the amend ment of M. Mauguin, SO,OOO new electors were named in France. On the state of the Departments, I am anxious to say a few words. The public opinion is decidedly pronounced in opposition to the present Govern :pent. The system of Baron Louis, the Minister of Finance, creates very general and just dissatisfac don. His system is this—" If a nein be a good col lector, never mind whether he is Carlist, Piiest, Jesuit, a conspirator, who insults the revolution and proclaims aloud that he hopes to see a foreign army bring back Henry worse; h er e " if he be g \ r with othdecirolbleacytoonre2kse,eapndhlainin tnever mind all this, or a thousand times his post, for the G overnment must h ave goo d col ain hem f . •,-(-e # .‘/2 4 .

On Saturdq afternoon the members of the Royal Sailing Society, recently established at Oliver's Coffee-house, West minster, gave a Silver Cup and Cover to be sailed for by g , mtlemen's pleasure yachts. The attendance of spectators o' t die river was not so numerous as might have b,en an _ t;cipated. At three o'clock the Count and Countess Mon t.Lra, the 1-31gian Ambassador, and several other persons of distinction, took water at Whitehall, in a shlllop, and were rowed down to Blackfriars-bridge, where the follow ing boats bad come to their stations—viz.:— Ariel, 9 tons, Lord 11. Cholmondeley, orange. Vestri, 8 tons, Mr. J. Weston, red with a yellow cross. Lady Emma, 8 tons, Mr. It C. Bucknall, black with a red cross. Mab, 4 tons, Hon. Major de Roos, green. Water-Witch, 8 tons, Mr. J. Unwire, white with a red cross. Daphne, 7 tons, Mr. J. Nelson, white with a red dagger. Rowena 7 tons, Mr. J. ll, white with a blue cross. Fortitude, 8 tons, Mr. J. Southam, green with a white cross. About four o'clock they were started to sail to Wands worth-meadows and back to Westminster-bridge. There was a whole-sail breeze at the time, and they came away from the bridge in excellent style. The Lady Emma shortly the way up. At Battersea the Fortitude became second, and she being more easily turned to windward than the leading boat, it was expected that she would round the distance-boat in advance of the whole squadron ; unfortunately, however, she carried away her mast in the ensuing reach and became a wreck. The Rowena took her place, and followed the Lady Emma closely down ; but the latter boat was too much in advance to enable the former to overhaul her with any effect, and the Lady Emma was consequently declared the winner of the Cup on her arrival at Westminster. The Rowena came in second, the Water- Witch third, the Ariel fourth, and the Mal, fifth. After the match the members proceeded to Oliver's Coffee-house, Westminster, where the prize was presented to Mr. Bucknall by the Countess Montara. SUICIDE OF TWO LOVERS. A great sensation has prevailed in the town of Ripon during the last few days, in consequence of the sudden disappearance of two young persons of the names of An drew Roy and Elizabeth Meadley. It appears they were strongly attached to each other, and that their intimacy had existed for two years. On Thursday evening, the 18th, this young couple were present at, anti took part in, a dance at a public-house, along with the girl's parents, and some other friends of the parties ; they all left the inn about twelve o'clock. Roy accompanied his sweetheart home, and went into the house ; he was rather intoxicated, and wished to remain there all night ; the girl's father, who was also in liquor, objected, and urged him to go home. At this treatment, as well as from the disincli nation of the young woman's friends to the match, he felt offended, and muttered something as he went away; be fore he quitted the house he asked to speak to Elizabeth —" only for three minutes" privately ; her father re luctantly yielded to the joint entreaties of Roy and his daughter, and allowed her to go to the door. She then went out with her bonnet ; after waiting for some time for her return, her mother went in search of them, but in vain. Nothing was beard of the parties on Fridayor Saturday; still it was hoped that they might have gone off for the purpose of being married. On Sunday morning, however, a leather case, containing two flutes, was found in the river Ure, close by the town ; these flutes were known to have been in Roy's possession, and used by him on the Thurs day evening. The most painful apprehensions now began to be felt, and their parents were a prey to the most dis tressing fears. The river was dragged on Sunday, Mon day, and Tuesday ; band-hills were distributed, and every inquiry set on foot by the Magistrates, and by the police under their directions; but all were fruitless till the after noon of Tuesday, at four o'clock, when the body of the young woman was found, entangled by her long hair in some wreck and sand, about three miles down the river, betwixt Ripon and Boroughbridge. The next morning (Wednesday) the body of Roy was found near to the spot where it is supposed they had gone into the river. A Coroner's inquest sat upon the bodies, but no evidence, except the, substance of what has already been related, was adduced to throw any light on this mysterious affair, and a verdict of " Found Drowned " was re c,rded. Roy, who was one of the band of the York shire Hussars, was ai fine looking man, about twenty seven years of age, and by trade a cabinet-maker. The ill fated young woman was about twenty-one, very prepos sessing in her appearance, and of unimpeachable charac ter; she was a mantua-maker. Her fate has excited the deepest sympathy among all classes. The funerals took place on Wednesday evening, and were attended by thou sands ; and the feeling- exhibited by the assembled crowd was creditable to their humanity. One grave received the remains of the two lovers. It is difficult to find even the shadow of a reason for this act of desperation. Roy was in liquor doubtless, and probably highly exasperated at the supposed unkind treatment of the girl's father, in urging him to go home; he had been drinking, too, for the last three or four days, as it had been the annual feast at Ripon, so that he had scarcely known what he did ; and yet, from the house of Elizabeth's parents to the water side is only about a mile. Elizabeth, whose fidelity was worthy of a better fate, would not, it is supposed, see him parish alone, and, in a momentary delirium, plunged in after him. It may be remarked that the parents of the young woman have been most un fortunate as regards some of their children, as three of them, previous to this melancholy circumstance, leave met an untimely death—by drowning and by fire. The following particulars are furnished by a corres pondent : " I have known Roy , from his c hildhood—his habits have been very irregular for some time—and his indolence has been such as to occasion sharp rebukes from his own father ; he was fond of music, and of a romantic turn— given to company, and of a high ungovernable temper, which could not brook any o pposition—his indolence and expensive habits kept him poor, and he seemed dissatisfied with himself and every thing about him. The poor whom I also knew personally, was very respectab;e in her situation—her fate has excited grea t commiseration. Some think that she would never go i nto the water without compulsion—and I did incline to that opinon ; when, however, I was told how much she loved Roy, I came to the conclusion, that, seeing him madly resolved on self-de struction, she chose to perish with him ! Near to the place where they had gone into the river, stands a fine tree, uuder which they had spent many hours, and the spot being secluded and picturesque, it had been a favourite resort of the parties. One of our constables, who as sisted in searching for the bodies, and who, indeed, was the mar. that found Roy, told me that he saw Roy and his sweet heart sitting under this tree about two months since, and coming up to them, he said jokingly, 4 Bossy, this'is a dan gerous place to be in with a faithless lover, the water is close and very deep, take care he does not drown ye." " P.S. I am told that old Meedley and Roy had some very sharp words on the evening of the 18th, after the dance.

BOOTH THE TRAGEDIAN IN AMERICA.- Boo Tit is not only an actor a'id proprietor of a very supe rior theatrical establishment, but devotes a considerable portion of his time to agricultural pursuits; he is a farmer, and takes his produce to market himself, The followinA colloquy occurred between hint and GALLOT, who went over with YATES'S eephallt to America :—" Boorn-- " These cabbages are three cents each ; if you don't tike them throw them into the cart, and drive them ,ome again, for they're ‘rell worth the money. What GALLor, is that you, lad? I'm delighted to see you, are you quite well ?" GALLOT—Very w e ll, I tha n k you ; but this is a new mode of like to you." BOOTH—." Oh, I have not left the old one ; come and see me to-night ; play Richard at my own theatre ; and mind, when you et to England, swear you never saw me play it half s , GATA.OTT accepted the invitation, and deviate, that he never saw Bovril to so much advantage. f ' l4)/ \ , „... : ~. . ..._ ~ PRICE 7D. 'ectors." Just as though a man could not be a good .01Iector and love liberty, and just as though the irlists were the only men in the Departments who uld count that two and two make four, and who could honestly collect and transmit the amount to Go vernment. When you speak to Baro n L ou i s on t hi s sub- ect, he replies, " We have need of all capacities wd of all parties. 1 know the man, of whom you e,tk, as a Carlist ; but never mind that, he is a rood collector. A Deputy from Dordogne assured , ne, the other day, that in his department the pea ,ints can scarcely believe that a revolution has been -ifected. They say, " why the Priests are just as iesolent, -overbearing, and fanatical as ever. We ~a ve the same mayors, the same municipal officers, he same collectors, the same Jesuits and Carlists merely their protest had been disregarded, but that ne►v honours and increased ernoluinents bad been ,verywhere; and when those who love the revolu ion and liberty have to pay their taxes, they are of course galled and annoyed at having to go to the bureau, or the residence, of one who is known to he inimical to every thing that has been done in Prance during the last twelve months." When this was said the other day to M. Byron Louis, he " the payment of taxes is not an affair of po litics, and we have very good collectors who are Catlists." Yesterday I was speaking to a Deputy of Landes, who said, " in our department the taxes are not so well collected or paid as they would be, if peasants instead of gentlemen were allowed to receive them. The peasants have more cone- deuce in a respectable man of their own class, than in an old courtier of Charles X., whose on►y qualifi cation for office is that he can read, write, cast ac counts, and prays daily for the return of Henry jr." So again, a Deputy from Gironde yesterday re marked to me, that the inhabitants of a commune, having lately complained of the continuance in office of a violent Carlist by the present Government, were mortified at finding at the end of a month, not heaped on one who was so unpopular with all the inhabitants. I could multiply examples almost ad infinituin, and could demonstrate, by names and dates, shc;;:ld this become necessary, that Baron Louis prefers Cariists to Libcrals, end bits a great horror of being surrounded by the men of the revo lution. Yet poor Baron Louis thinks he understood% the revolution of July, and will shout, " Vive la Charte Vive la Liberte!" This state of things in the departments is injurious to the cause of liberty, and retards the close of the revolution. It renders throne unpopular—public opinion agitated ; it destroys commerce—ruins trade and manufac tures—and leaves us in a provisional and uncer tain system. If this system be persevered in, it will lead to conflicts, to the non-payment of taxes, to disorders, and perhaps to civil war. In some departments the feeling is still Carl.st. This is still the case in Deux Sevres, 'Vendee, Charente, Maine et Loire, and Loine Inferieure. Wherever the Priests exercise a predominating influence, liberty is sure to be unpopular; and wherever the people are most ignorant, dirty, sensual, and fanatical, they con tinue to cry" Vi vent lea Bourbons I" We have cer- tainly a large number of departments to place in the opposite scale, but in every part of the kingdom one cry is uttered, and that is, " Let us have an Admi• nistrative Revolution," The Augean stable must be cleansed ; and if M. Perier will cling to diet, he will be soon swept away with the cobwebs. Yesterday I visited the Bourse, but only for half an hour. Most of my acquaintances were absent, either horn indisposition, or in the country. There were two persons ►with whom I conversed, to whose observations I must draw your attention. The first was what is called " a quiet man I" I should think he ►weighed twenty stone. He had little eyes and a red face ; moved in angles when he moved at all, and spoke very little louder than a ►whisper. I found him, however, much agitated, because he had that moment been told that the Minister was de feated. He said that Mauguin was a firebrand— that there were too many electors already in France —that the Press was the fourth power of the State, and must be put down by some quiet plan, such as a temporary censorship—and that such men as he prevented the Three per Cents. from being at 84. He, however, assured me, in a somewhat louder tone, between a squeak and a grunt, that he loved liberty and the Charter; and would, of course, die in its defence; but he hoped all would be ar ranged quietly, and that nobody would be so mad as to think of going to war. lam afraid, when I left my quiet friend, his nerves were even more agitated than when I found him ; for I told him that the French Government was considering the propriety of aiding the young Queen of Portugal ; and had informed the Prussian Government, that if any por tion of the Russian army was compelled to seek shelter on the Prussian territory, and was not dis armed as the Poles had been, France would consi der this an interference against Poland, and would march to her relief. My " quiet friend" could nut imagine what business France had to interfere on such subjects; " for," said he, " at this rate we shall never have peace." The other individual with whom I conversed was a very different sort of per son. He is one of the chiefs of the " mouvement" party. He had seen Casimir Perier, and bad told him to his face, as an old acquaintance, that if the pr esent system of peace at all hazards should be persevered in, in less than six mouths a Prussian army might march to Paris to re-establish the Bour bons without resistance. M. Perier did nor, of course, agree with him—but said, " I know my system is right. France wishes for peace, and so long as I am supported by the King and the re spectable portion of the public, I will not yield." This was mere bragging—for he has yielded already. I conversed a few minutes with my " mouvement" friend, and have promised to see him in a few days, when I will tell you what are the hopes and wishes of his party. The progress of the cholera morbus is an immense evil, and its extension ought to be by every means avoided. It has appeared in the Prussian army. The Emperor of Russia has locked himself up in a castle, to avoid the infection, and has merely taken with him the three principal Ambassadors. Every one else are left to perish. So Nicholas, the valiant and courageous Nicholas! shuts himself up away from all possibility of infection, whilst his subjects die by thousands ! This is the sympathy of Kings for the millions! This the paternal love of monarchs for their large and amiable families !! ! To prevent the extension of this dreadful malady should now be the first object of all European Powers. To do this effectually, the war between Russia and. Poland should be put an end to—and if the Autocrat of the North will not listen to the voice of reason, admo nition, experience, and history, then there remains yet another mode of addressing him, and still of avoiding war. Let no communication be had with his dominions. Let all European ports be closed to his ships of commerce. Let no letter be forwarded ut received. Let no merchandise be shipped for that country ; and in less than two months, without the tiring of a single cannon, the Russian army will be compelled to r etire—the progress of the cholera will be arrested, and the independence of Poland be as sured. Attack the commerce of Russia and we shall be 3.tv ed from the destruction. Our attention is di vided a t this moment between this important sub ject and the Polish subsidies, the project of which has now been published in our Papers. I am in h o pes that we shall do something material for Po ' land in this ‘‘ay, and surely Great Britain will not be behind-hand. - it is not a political but a philan luopic question, All men of all parties may aid PLland and not compromise tb l eir principles. riot .lependerice is as important to the Tory as to • Whig system of governing markind=and Lord and the Niarquis of Chandos may wirh ,ouch propriety place their names as Polish Rentiers At.

(From the .Messager des Chambres, dated August 27.) PARIS, AUGUST 25.—1 t is still intended that the project of law on the Peerage shall he presented on S turday. 'lt is said that for some days past there ,vere on this subject,. at the instance of the Presi dent of the Council of Ministers, frequent meetings of Deputies of different shades of opinion, and a kind of previous consultation like those which often take place in England. It is said that the meeting yesterday was very numerous, and composed of emi nent members of the opposition, among whom were particularly distinguished Messrs. Salverte, Mau guin, O lillon Barrot, &c. We have no news at Paris from Warsaw later tan the Bth inst. The announcement of a great battle is, therefore, premature. 'We hare besides observed that this report has been in circulation for this fortnight. livine service having been cele brated frith pomp in the presence of the whole Polish army, it was inferred that this ceremony was the prelude to an important action ; hence arose the report that it had already taken place. According to a letter from 'Warsaw, the following are the bases of the negociations acid to be on foot : Poland to revoke the decree which excludes the house of Romanow from the throne, and to choose from it a Viceroy who would be under the dominion of Russia,, and it would have a representative con stitution guaranteed by the mediating Powees. The Russian army immediately to evacuate Poland, which would be played under the protection of the Powers. Though these conditions. do not entirely corres pond with the hope of the enthusiastic friends of liberly, many Poles allow that they would prevent incalculable disasters, and that the strength of the nation would not be wholly exhausted. FORBACII, AUG. 22.—The Prussians are collect ing a great part of the troops of the Rhenish pro vinces near Cologne and Aix-la-Chapelle; Prince Augustus has arrived at Sarre Louis, and has r,•- viewed the troops : he is now going to Treves. The garrison of Sarre Louis, TteTc,, haurg : amount to 18,000 men. The cavalry which was at Sarrebrack is gone to Sarre Louis ; and the regiment of Hussars, which was at Sarrebourg, is going to Willick, near Cobluntz. PARIS, AUG. 26.—1 t is affirmed that the Duke of Tarent um yesterday gave in hii resignation of the post of Chancellor of the Legion of Honour. Ac cording to a morning paper, the noble Marshal pre sented to the King a protest, signed by a great num ber of Peels, against any project of law whatsoever, the object of which should be to contest the heredi tary dignity of the Peerage, and that it was in con sequence of the cool reception he met with from his , Majesty that he resolved to consider a political life as terminated, which was so long illustrious in the armies of the republic aad the empire. It is said that the Marshal slept last night at the hotel de la Terrasse, and will set out in a few days for his estates. (From the Journal des Debats, dated Aug. 26.) (PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.) BASLE, AEG. 22.—For some weeks past the in habitants of Liestal and their agents have recom menced their dealings with our peasantry. The members of the Provisional Government banished from our cantons have not ceased to carry on their intrigue at Lucerne. In compliance with the recommendation of the Diet, our Government pardoned Hitter and Moesmer, two members of the Provisional Government. But this concessio❑ did not satisfy the disturbers, who continued their practices throughout the country, and laid the foundation for those disorders which they. desired to see arise. Eight days ago they com menced at Sissach, by rifling the house of the pastor; and they planted trees of liberty in several villages. In the night of the 13th and 14th, they made attempts to assassinate the Prefect of Sissach. In the course of the week appeared a proclamation, dated Liestal, and signed " Singeisen," in which it is declared that the Government of Basle is no longer recognized, and that measures are in progress at Liestal for appointing a commission to govern the country. Upon this a number of officers were sent into the vallies of Guelterkenden, and Begoldswyl, villages whose good dispositions were well known, and where it was proposed to organize troops to march against Liestal. On Saturday the citizen•guard was called out, and at midnight 800 men, composed partly of cavalry and partly of infantry, marched upon Liestal. They met the insurgents at two leagues from Basle, where the latter had taken up a position. An en gagement ensued, which lasted incessantly from three to ten o'clock a. m. The insurgents had with them auxiliaries from o►her cantons, among the rest from the cantons of Soleure and Argovia. After a sharp resistance, our troops entered Liestal, which they took and retook three times; but, in consequence of want of ammunition, they retreated fighting, and re-entered Basle at two o'clock in the afternoon. We had 10 men killed, and .50 wounded, many very seriously. The loss of the insurgents is at least double. The ramparts of the city were mounted with can non, and all the inhabitants got under arms. The Gazette de Bask give the following account of these events : " On the 16th inst. a report was spread through the city, that an attempt had been made to assasiinate Commissioner Singeisen. Three individuals accused of this criminal attempt were aireated : they were conducted to Liestal, were tried, and acquitted. On the 18th, twenty-two Councillors gave in their re signation. The same day trees of liberty were planted at Liestal, Sissach, and Waldeuburg. The Government sent Commissioners thither to ascertain the views of the people,, and to promise right thinking persons the support of the Government. " On the evening of the 19th, the first Magistrate of the district of Liestal received, by a Government courier, an official despatch. Some men who called themselves representatives of the people demanded that the contents of this despatch should be com municated to them ; it was read, and the courier was sent back with answer that the Government of Basle was no longer recognized.' " On the same night, about midnight, an attempt of assassination was made upon the person of the Magistrate of Sissach : several individuals fired musket-shots through his shutters. They threatened to hang him on the tree of liberty, but this threat was not executed; his life was granted him on con dition that he would suffer himself to be conducted to Liestal. " All these events made the intervention of Go vernment necessary. Consequently it was resolved on the 20th of August to send a military force to Liestal." This morning, at half-past one o'clock, a detach ment of 700 or 800 men departed from the city, and arrived before Liestal, where they were received with musket-shots. The rebels were several times summoned, but they kept tip their fire, and wounded 'nutty of our men. The General then resolved to tak e the little town by assault. A fire was kept up upon our troops frim the windows and the cellars, rut they succeeded in pulling down the tree of liberty. The General, perceiving that the combat would oever have an end, judged it right to retire, which le did in excellent order. We had two killed an d twenty wounded. Every body is underarms inßas le.
