There is a freedom of remark upon the Reform Bill in the article to which we allude that we do not think the Paper in which it appeals would deem it prudent to venture upon, unless it had received in structions front head-quarters ; and we therefore bestow a degree of notice upon what it has said which under ordinary circumstances we should not have thought it worthy to receive. It admits that the Reform Bill is not perfect. (What amiable can dour !) It allows that by the details of the Reform Bill entire justice will not be done to the great principles of population and of wealth. It grants that to%%nslike Halifax and Brighton—(what wisdom in the classification'.) —ought to have two Members instead of one, and that the country will not be sati,fied with the measure as it at present stands. And what is the c onclusion which this sensible Ministerial organ derives from all these facts ? Why this, that it would be exceedingly wrong that any atti rapt should be made to render the measure other than exactly what it is ; and that for perse verance in such an attempt Lord Milton is par ticularly foolish and blameworthy. Our readers may laugh at this conclusion, but we must admit that there is in it an exact, though slavish fidelity to the Ministerial habits of the present day. Night after night we find the persons on the Treasury Bench in the 'louse of Commons coming to conclusions quite as absurdly at variance with the facts laid down as this adherent of the Treasury authorities; and we find majorities as ready to back them as some pre tended patriets were to support Lord Althorp on Tuesday in his modest proposition that none of his friends should utter a single-syllable except in sup port of even what they had publicly declared to re quire amendment.—Morning Post. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Messager des Chambres of August 2.) PARIS, AUGUST I.—The Pilate du Calvados, of the 25th of July, says—" A telegraphic despatch, which ar rived this day, at noon, at Caen, and was transmitted to Donna Mari), at Cherbourg, announces that the people of Lisbon have revolted against Don Miguel, who had barely time to seek an asylum on board one of the French frigates n the Tagus." The Pilate has been rather in a hurry to publish this news, which we believe to be a fable, and which, at any rate, cannot have reached Caen by the telegraph, since there is no telegraphic line of communication with that city. The Messager, noticing the assertions of the Quad dienne and the Courrier, that the Government had pur posely spread the news of a great victory gained by the Poles, says—" But to refute such puerile accusations, it is only necessary to tell the truth : the Government did not cause any official announcement to be made, as is proved by the letter written to the Glube ioy the Colonel of the Ist Legion : "PARIS, JULY 30. " Sra,—Your Journal states yesterday that the King had caused the news of a great victory gained by the Poles to be announced to the commanders of the several legions, and among others to me. " I beg you to in3ert in your next number a formal contradiction of this fact, as far as lam concerned. No order from the King came to me during the review. It was the commander of a battalion of the National Guard who told me, at a moment when the let Legion was sta tioned at the gate St. Honore, that he had heard from an officer of the Staff this news, the confirmation of which I desire as much as any l.o:ly Accept, &c., " The Colonel of the I st Legion, " Marquis de MARMIER." Charles X has been again condemned. Yesterday it was she Prince of Neuwied who surd for a sum of 260,000 francs ; the day before yesterday it was the Count Pfaff de Pfaffenhofen, who was declared by the tribunal to be a creditor of the ex-King for above a million ; to-day it was the turn of a gentleman of Brittany, M. de la Balne. In his own name, and that of his co-heirs, he solicited the condemnation of his Royal debtor in the payment of LO,OOO francs, a small part of 600,000 francs advanced in 1792 to the emigrant Princes. Terrified by the enor mous expense of registry, M. de la Balne contented him ,,elf with claiming provisionally the 12th part of the debt, which the tribunal had adjudged them. A letter from Tours (Indre et Loire) of the 28th of July gives an account of the celebration of the anniver sary of the glorious revolution of the 27th. Some young men, well known for their ultra-republican notions, made et disturbance by crying " Liberty fqr ever!" "Down with the King !" "No King !" A struggle ensued, in which the young men, who attempted to defend themselves with sword-canes, were overpowered, and eleven of them arrested by the people, whose indignation was so great, that the National Guard had great difficulty in conducting them to the prison. CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES-AUGUST I. The Chamber met at one o'clock, under the Presidency of senior Member Count Duchatel, and, after the verifica tion of the powers of several Deputies, whose admission had been adjourned at the last meeting, they proceeded to I L e election of their President. The number of voters present was 355 ; the majority required 178. M. Girod de l'Ain, the Ministerial candi date, obtained 171 votes ; M. Lafitte, the Opposition can didate, 168 ; Berenger, 8; M. Dupont de l'Eure, 2 ; M. O'Dillon Barrot, 1 ; 111. de Mosbourg, 1 ; and three tickets were declared null. None of the candidates having t.43tained the absolute majority, the Chamber proceeded to Pagot between MM. Girod de l'Ain and Lafitte. After this operation, which lasted upwards of an hour, the President announced that there was an irregularity in itue poll ; that there were only 358 voters present, and that 359 votes were found in the urn. The President then inquired should the ballot he annulled ? The Chamber, on being consulted, decided that the ballot should stand good in case the majority was more than one vote. The President then published the result of the elec tron, The number of voters was 358; and the majo ity requited, 180. M. Girod de l'Ain having obtained 181 suifragea; 111. Lafitte, 176; M. Dupont de l'Eure, 1 ; Girod de l'Ain was proclaimed President of the Chamber. _ _ _ Between the two polls M. Laurence, the Member for Mont de Marsan, rose under feelings of evident indig nation to stigmatize the conduct of one of his colleagues, who, in writing his vote, so scandalously, he said, disre garded the majesty of the scrutiny, as to add an injurious a ppellation to the name of one of the candidates. He called upon the Chamber to order the ticket of the Mem ber to be read, and to brand his act by a solemn disap probation. The Chamber, however, decided that the mat te,- should rest there ; but that if such a thing occurred again, at the next ballot, a repot t should be made of it, and that then they would adopt the course proposed by the lion. Member. Several groups instantly farmed in the ball, who seemed to discuss the matter with considerable animation, and others repaired to the Hall of Conference. Having inquired of one of the latter the nature of the injurious appellation, he told us that a Member bad writ t-n on his ticket Jacques Faillite (bankrupt) for Jacques Lujitte. (From the Courier Francais of Monday.) BOLOGNA, JULY 20.—Since the departure of the Aus tOan troops no disturbance has occurred in Bologna, in consequence of the resolution taken by the citizens not to give the least pretext for a new invasion. Various pro clamations have been circulated throughout the towns of Romagna, to invite the inhabitants to oppose the entrance of the Papal troops under the orders of Bentivoglio and Bastaglini. We arefirtnly determined here to resist, by all possible means, the horde of banditti which the Court of Rome has sent to bring us back under the most odious despotism. But those troops have not dared to pro ceed on their march, and it is probable they will not attempt to sully our country by their odious presence. We intend to oppose to the proprio rnotnu, and to the in junctions of the temporal good pleasure, a cold and per levering resistance. The movements which lately agitated the legations have almost entirely subsided ; the resistance must inevitably assume th e c h arac ter we wish to impart to it, and id which consists in refusing o ur concurrence to the Pope's Gover nment, as l ong as he does not minister to our grievances, and d en i es us institutions in harmony with the wishes ant wants of the people. We pay no longer any taxes, and we consider Cardin f a r l o ter th netti's notilcations ) , and every proclamation coming P ope,. as null . and void. In fact, the legations are de fuc e to, if not by right, independent of the temporal power. p . s. —A courier from Rome announced to us this • n staPit that a revolution had taken place in teat cap ita ' and that when he left it , on t he ev e n i n g of the 1 7th, all‘va in the utmost con fusion. Perha p s there is some xaggeras tion in this news. However, all the letters we have of late received from Rome mention that a great excitement pre vailed in that city, and that it may soon be the theatre of serious events. PARIS. There wag yesterday a grand dinner at the Court; fifty-four persons sat down to table, among whom were Messrs. Dupont de l'F.ure, 0130illon Barron Guixot, and the Duke de Broglie. At the reeeptioa in the evening every one was stt tick with the gracious manner the King received M. Lafitte. His Majesty had with him repeated and very long conversations. M. Gustavus de Montebello, who has lately joined the Polish ranks, had a horse killed under him at the late affair of Minsk. (From the Jeurnal du Commerce of Monday.) General Belliard arrived last evening from Belgium. Private letters received from Germany mention that the Emperor of Russia's health is much impaired. It is not feared that he will die of the cholera, to which lie was not afraid to expose himself ; he is said to be labouring under a slow fever, which is still increased by the en deavours he is making to overcome it. The statue of Louis XVI. at Montpelier, was taken down from its pedestal on the 24th ult. (From the National of Monday.) We have it in our power to state, upon undoubted au thority, that Lord Palmerston, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, bad intimated to the Polish Envoy at London, that the Cabinet of Berlin would only continue to preserve a neutrality between Russia and Poland so long as the former had any chance of suppressing the revolution ; but that as soon as it was evident that the Russian army could not take possession of Warsaw and put down the rebellion, Prussia would interfere, in order to pat a stop to a war by which her interests and those of her ally are compro mised. The meeting this evening, at the Palais Royal, was both brilliant and numerous. The reception given to M. Lafitte by the King and Royal Family furnished grounds for ge neral observation. (From Galignani's Messenger of Monday.) Accounts from Frankfort on the Oder state that the cholera has made its appearance in that town.—Journal des Debats. The Queen of Holland left Berlin on the 25th ult., on her return to the Hague, taking with her, it is said, a treaty of alliance, offensive and defensive, between Prussia and Holland.— Constitutionnel. . The Presburg Gazette, of the 1 9th ult., states that,' by an Imperial Ordinance, communications between the Ger man States and Hungary are to be interrupted by a mili tary cordon along the frontiers, from the left bank of the Danube, including Presburg. All travellers are sub jected to a quarantine of ten days. At Presburg no symp toms of the cholera had made their appearance. By the provincial journals and private letters, we learn that the fetes of July were celebrated in the departments with no Ices enthusiasm than in Paris. The accounts hitherto received concur in stating that perfect unanimity prevailed among the citizens and the authorities, in the celebration of the national festival. Every where the National Guard was remarkable for its fine appearance and patriotism. Collections were made in every place, and money distributed to the poor. The Temps says :-" It is stated that a frightful scene lately took place at the Hague, between King William and his two sons. The Prince of Orange broke his sword, and throwing the pieces at the feet of his father, re proached him with having lost, by his obstinacy and Cal vinistic fanaticism, the finest portion of his kingdom. The King retorted by pointing out the vices of his son, which had alienated from him the hearts of the Belgians, and reproached Prince Frederick with his attack upon Brussel4. The presence of the Queen was necessary to restore tranquillity in that family, from which peace is for ever banished." FRENCH FUNDS.--PARIS, Arc. 1,--FiTC per Cents. 871. s6f.

DU TCH PAPERS. THE HAGUE, JULY 31. —His Royal Highness the Prince of Orange, after dining with his Majesty, set out this evening, at half-past seven, for Breda, to take the command of the army. A Cabinet Council was held to-day. His Majesty has made numerous promotions in the army. THE HAGUE, AUG. I.—Her Majesty the Queen arrived here this morning at nine, on her return from Berlin. The chief command of his Majesty's military force is given to his Royal Highness the Prince of Orange. It is affirmed that Baron Van Zuyler Van Nyeveldt has set out to-day for London, with a further letter from his Majesty the King, to the Conference. The Second Chamber of the States General is sum moned for Friday next. As the voluntary loan amounts to about 18,000,000 of florins, by which the immediate wants of the Treasury are provided for, we understand that the forced loan decreed by the second part of the law of the 28th of June will be relinquished. BERLIN, JULY 28.—The second failure of the Poles to excite an insurrection in the Lithuanian provinces has been followed by the total suppression of the troubles. The high roads through all Lithuania, Volhynia, and Podolia, are cleared of the bands of insurgents, and the communi cations are perfectly free for couriers, mails, &c., and the supply of provisions to the Russian army is secured by the occupation of Lomza. Meantime, the troubles we have had, among other consequences, are the flight of a num • her of wolves to Livonia and Riga, where they have done great injury. The insurgents, it is well known, kept in the forests, and thus drove away the wolves. By the insurrection in Lithuania and other Polish pro vinces belonging to Russia, the supply of provisions to the Russian corps in Poland was intercepted, by which the insurgents thought to overcome the Russians, and oblige them to retreat, as they in fact announced from Warsaw that the Russians were in want of every thing. The Rus sian General Diebitsch, during his lifetime, caused a Rus sian corps to approach the Prussian territory, sent some officers to Prussia, and caused provisions to be pur•chasetl for the army, by which he soon provided for the wants of his troops. The Poles were on this account extremely angry with the Prussians, and said that the Prussian corn mer•chants aught not to sell corn to the Russians. The Generalissimo himself had the boldness to complain of this to the King of Prussia, with no other result than that his Majesty 8, nt the letter back to him with a declaration that lie did not recognise him as a person having any authority. The Poles would have this purchase of provisions con sidered as a violation of ❑eutrality on the part of Prussia, but this is not the case. When the French armies passed the Rhine in the seven years' war, they made use of the vessels of the neutral republic of Holland, and subsisted on Dutch corn. Duke Ferdinand of Brunswick did the same when he crossed the Rhine in 1758. The Poles have only to refer to their own history to know that they themselves supplied the Russians with corn and other pro visions during the seven years' war, though they were then neutral. AMSTERDAM, AUGUST 1. Actual Debt, 2 1% per cent _ 35% to 36 3 4 Amort Syndic, 4% per cent. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (From the Times.) PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING. Up to four o'clock this day nothing has been finally de termined respecting the change of Ministry consequent upon the vote of yesterday, but the retirement of M. Casi. mir Perier. He complains of perfidy among certain classes of his promised supporters in the Chamber of De puties, who, when they came to act by secret ballot, de serted him, and he in consequence instantly determined yesterday evening to tender his resignation to the King. All the other Ministers, with the exception of Marshal Soult, came to the same determination, but his Majesty pressed a re-consideration of this step. At twelve o'clock this day, the Council assembled at the Palais Royal, when the resignation of M. Casimir Perier being persevered in, the King, attended by all the Ministers except the Minister of Justice, proceeded to can vass the formation of a new Ministry, by the advice of the Council. The principal members of the Council left the Palace at one o'clock to return this evening. The list now be fore the King is thus drawn up :--Count Mole, or Mar shal Soult, to be President of the Council. Mole is re commended by M. Perier. M. d'Argout (at the same recommendation) for the Ministry of the Interior. V B . tismenil, or Beranger, for Justice. Admiral de Rigny, for the Marine. M. Hamann (of Alsace) for Finance. M. Merilhou's name is also before the King. These names have the sanction of the moderate party ; but how weak is their chance, after the failure of M. Perier, who was individually promised a great majority in the scrutiny for the Presidency yesterday, and yet what was the result ? The final decision is communicated to me while writing, vie.— Count Mole, the friend of Prince Talleyranci, is at length charged by the King to make the new Adminis tration this night, he (Mole) being President of the Council and Minister for Foreign Affairs. He wishes to keep Marshal Soult (who, in fact, is anxious to stay), for War, and Admiral de Rigny for Marine. Count Mole has offered this evening the Finance to M. Humana, the Ministry of Justice to Beranger, and Vatismenil for the Interior. An ultra combination was forming out of doors, and a list in circulation from M. Odillon Barrot, General La marque, &c. At three o'clock this latter attempt was abandoned for the moment, principally, it is said, at the persuasion of M. Lafitte. Count Montalivet will not remain in office ; he has taken leave of his bureau, and announced that he will only remain in the King's Household. It is amazingly difficult to anticipate the effect on the public mind of any Administration formed under the auspices of Count Mole. The funds of course this day, influenced by the great uncertainty of public events, have declined considerably. Y. TOULON, JULY 2S. —The corvette La Cornelia has just sailed for Navarin, and the Astrolabe for Algiers. The precipitation with which their sailing orders were sent, indicated a special mission, and we now learn with surprise, that they conveyed to Africa and Greece the King's speech, which has given here no satisfaction. The brig Adonis has brought despatches from Tripoli. The funeral fete for the slain patriots of July was yesterday celebrated with great military pomp, and this morning a salvo of 21 cannons announced the anniversary fete. At ten o'clock, a mast, painted with our three colours, was brought upon the quay in front of the Hotel de Ville, where, assisted by all the officers of the National Guard, it was inaugurated and planted as a tree of liberty, amidst the acclamations of an immense crowd. The bust of Louis Philip was installed and loudly cheered, the music playing the " Parisienne" and " Marseillaise." The whole passed off with the greatest tranquillity. It is said that the Com mandant of the place wished at first to oppose the planting of the tree of liberty, but that the troops had evinced no corresponding disposition. We are assured that the local authorities inquired from the Prefect what conduct they ought to observe respecting the tree of liberty, observing, at the same time, that they preferred retiring en masse than opposing the ceremony by force; for they believed that the troops, if called ❑pon, would not oppose the people. The Mayor called out the officers of National Guards to maintain order. After the orders which had been transmitted to him, the curate of Blagnac celebrated in his church, on the evening of the 27th of July, a service for the dead. After this service M. Gaillard, an ex-employj of the Mi nister of the Interior under Napoleon, and now a Captain of the National Guard, without any respect for the sanc tity of the place, presumed to mount the pulpit, from which he pronounced a discourse to an auditory composed of officers and soldiers of the artillery (pattered in the neighbourhood, and of many of the inhabitants, which re called the happy time of 1793. Gazette de Languedoc. The Curate of the parish of St. Catherine d'Honfieur (Caen) having refused, in the most positive manner, to obey the orders of his Bishop to celebrate the funeral service of the 27th, has thereby exposed himself to the indignation of the people, who rushed in great crowds to his residence, where, bad they found him, he would have dearly suffered for his act. It was with the gre,itest difficulty that the authorities and the gendarmerie could prevent the people from demolishing the curate's house, by persuading them that it belonged to the town, and not to the individual. They separated after hooting the unpopular Priest, and cheering another who performed his duty.— Calvados Pilot.

Is it true that the Ge neral-in-Chief himself has chosen among unpopular offi cers for his aides-de-camp, and selected those who had served best the Ex-King of France ?—Lausanne Gazette. (From the Morning Herald.) We have this moment received, by express, the Paris Journals of Tuesday, and the Gazette and Messag er dated yesterday, together with letters from our private correspondent. Their contents are important. The Perier Ministry is dissolved. (PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.) PARIS, AUG. 2, Foul:. O'CLOCK. The actual defeat of the Ministers in the Chamber of Deputies yesterday will have prepared you for the resig nation of M. Casimir Perier, and the dissolution of his Ministry. The divisions of yesterday left no doubt on the step which M. Perier would take. He had not disguised his smtiments. He made election of a President of the Chamber of Deputies the test by which to ascertain the principles and character of the new Chamber, and he did not dissemble his determination to retire in case of an un favourable issue of the experiment. He is believed to have tendered his resignation immediately after the scrutiny, which ended in the election of M. Girod de l'Ain. At six o'clock yesterday evening he tended his resigna tion by letter. He has not been (I am assured) at the Palais Royal since, although repeatedly sent for by his colleagues to attend the Council, which sat until midnight under the presidency of the King. It was reported this forenoon that, notwithstanding M. Perier had retired, and that although most of his col leagues were prepared to follow him, he clung to the hope of erecting himself into " a power behind the throne," and to have recommended that Baron Mole should be Pre sident of the new Ministry, and that M.M. Merilhou a nd Humann should form part of it. I have, however, thiS mo ment received from one of the highest quarters the follow ing list of the new Ministry. Soult, President of the Council and Minister of War. Mosbourg, Minister for Foreign Affairs. D'Argout, Minister of the Interior and Commerce. De Itigny, Minister of Marine. Humann, Minister of Finance. Vatemesnil, Minister of Justice. Arago, Minister of Public Instruction. From the foregoing, on which I am inclined to rely, it will he perceived that there is as yet no disposition at the Palais Royal to change measures with the partial change of men. A Ministry composed of the above materials could not exist for a week. I have heard other names mentioned (those of Marshal Clause), MM. Bignon, Be renger, &c.) ; but with the single exception of Clausei there would appear in the new Cabinet a distinction with out a difference. Up to the present moment, to keep the cote gauche entirely out of view, seems the policy of the Palais Royal, for the name of no individual of what may be termed the Liberal party is mentioned. A Ministry of a milk .and-water quality may be dressed up, but it would not be able to maintain itself in power. The dissolution of the Perier Cabinet and the likelihood that ultimately, or properly speaking, within a few days, an ultra-liberal, or extreme gauche Ministry, must be in stalled with a consequently increased probability of war in the perspective, produced naturally upon the funds to (lay an unfavourable effect. There is, however, little pro bability that an ultra Ministry will be found. Even if there were, there is not the shadow of possibility that any man would be or could be selected for office who would not be as anxions as any of those who have preceded him since the revolution, to maintain peace and amity with Great Britain. The election of the remaining two Vice-Presidents of the Chamber of Deputes came on this day at the Cham ber of Deputies.

Extract of a letter :—" There is a messenger just landed from Calais, from Brussels : he brings over with him that there has been some fighting with the Dutch and Belgian troops, near Ghent ; and since his arrival the Ostend steam-boat has arrived, confirming the event : there have been some lives lost on both sides." PORTSMOUTH, AUGUST 2. ARRIVAL OF TILE PRINCESS VICTORIA AND THE DUCHESS OF KENT. _ _ These illustrious individuals were to have arrived here on Monday, but circumstances occurred that prevented their arriving, and consequently, after the troops bad marched out and all preparations made, orders were given to postpone any farther arrangements. On this day, at one o'clock the Marines, with the 90th and 91st Regi ments, with colours and bands, proceeded to Portsea, and lined the principal street through which the Royal party would have to pass. At half-past two a Royal salute of twenty-one guns announced their approach, and irnme di 'rely after they entered Queen-street, and were received with presented arms, colours lowered, and the bands playing " God save the King." The whole line of houses in Queen-street were crowded with respectably dressed persons, who greeted the cavalcade as it passed along. They were received at the Dock-yard gates by Sir M. Seymour, who conducted them to his house, where a sumptuous entertainment was ready. After par taking of some refreshment, they proceeded through the yard, the way being lined with troops, to the place of embarkation, where Sir T. Foley, our naval Commander in-chief, conducted them to the barge, in which the Royal standard was flying. On leaving the shore, the troops on board the Winchester, Lord W. Paget's ship, pre sented arms : and on rowing down the harbour, the crews of the yachts, cutters, and men-of-war manned the yards, saluted, and cheered, the vessels being decked out with their signal colours. On passing the town of Ports mouth another salute was fired. Great preparations were making early in the day at Ryde to receive the Royal party, and we have heard a deal of gun-firing from that quarter. The young Princess and the Duchess looked both exceedingly well. elected one of them. M. Salverte, an Ultra-liberal can- ' dilate, was next on the list, but not having the " absolute majority" necessary, a new ballot is at this moment taking place, which will end most likely in the return of M. Salverte. Number of Deputies present 343 Absolute majority EN Dupin 175 Etienne A. Delessert 136 Vatismenil 6 Salverte Odillon Barrot l2B Bignon Schone P.S.—The following is another version of the Mini sterial affair, on which rely:— At one o'clock this day the late Ministry met and deli. vered to the King, en masse, their resignations. They were accepted at the end of an audience of 25 minutes. The new Ministry are not named to me by my last-men tioned informant—he only added in a private note that they would be of the Berenger (centre gauche, or mode rate) school. This is not at variance with my first account. I have time only to add that every instant the most de plorable news is expected from Poland. Even had the Ministry triumphed yesterday, a sad catastrophe in Poland would have destroyed them. (From the Journal des Debats of Tuesday.) We have received recent news from Russia, by a com mercial courier. It seems the Emperor Nicholas is af fected by a consumption, which insensibly undermines his constitution, and will, in all probability, soon bring him to his grave. The intelligence of Nicholas's approaching decease, is accompanied with appropriate reflections on the ' file of the Emperors of Russia, since Paul I. The mas ters of the vast empire wishing to govern with means out of proportion with the resources of the country, have ex cited general discontent. All weak Emperors will reign but a short time in Russia. The Grand Duke Constantine, who will succeed his father, has not reached his fifth year, and it is not difficult to anticipate that, on the demise of his father, great events will take place in Russia." (From the Courrier Francais of Tuesday.) RICA, JULY 6.-On the 4th and sth inst. 49 per,ons were attacked with the cholera ; 81 were cured, and 11 died ; there were still 366 sick. Since the commence ment of the epidemic the number affected with the malady in private houses was 2,063, 1,252 of which were cured, and 705 died : there are in the hospital 2,206 sick, 884 of which recovered, and 1,092 died ; so that there were in all 4,266 sick, 2,155 recoveries, and 1,798 deaths.

POLAND. (PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.) WARSAW, JULY 20.—1 have just heard, front a most authentic source, that, in consequence of the extraordinary events that have occurred in St. Petersburgh, Field Marshal Paskewitsch has been ordered to evacuate our country, and to conclude an arrangement with our Go vernment. The Russian army that had crossed the Vistula has, in consequence, retired from the left bank, which it had occupied for several days without molestation from our troops. They returned to the right bank between Nieszawa and Dobezyn. Our army still continues to pur sue the enemy in the palatinates of Podlachia and Lublin, and our principal forces are manoeuvring between Plock and Warsaw. Previous to this we had made the necessary preparations to render Warsaw impregnable, if the enemy would dare to attack it, and we were resolved to bury our selves under its ruins rather than surrender. As our communications with Lithuania are cut off, we have not had any official reports concerning the success of our arms in that province since the 4th of July. We are informed by private hand that the insurrection in Volhynia, Podolia, and the Ukraine, still continues. JULY 18.—The Deputies and Senators of the kingdom of Poland adopted, on the 16th of July, and cemented with an oath, a resolution to resist, to the utmost, any attempts to circumscribe Poland within the limits fixed by the treaty of Vienna. They appeal to the holiness of their cause, the extent of their sacrifices, and the glory of their deeds, as evidence they " will never stretch out a sacrilegious hand to sign an act which would draw down on them the maledictions of their children, and the eternal contempt of the civilized world." The inquiry into the treason of General Jankowski and company is not yet concluded. A miscreant has been arrested in this city lately, who had held a considerable public employment, which had been conferred upon him for his services as a spy to the late Russian Field Marshal Dybiez (Diebitscb.)

The first week of August—nay, the first day—has wit nessed its dissolution, and most deservedly, for M. PERIER was forcing on the Go vernment, entirely at variance with the ma jority of the French people, and contrary to the spirit of the revolution. We hope this may be a warning to the KING, for Louts PHILIPPE since his elevation has conducted himself more like any other continental monarch, than as KING of the French. His Ministers— and how many of them has he not had since his accession ?—have all been selected more for their anti-national character, than for any fitness to direct the conduct of a great and free nation. And what is now the mortifying result ? After so many changes, his MA JESTY is reduced to the necessity of beholding another—and must soon experience the humi liation of naming yet another, unless he choose me n who possess more of the national confi dence, and are truly representatives of the na tional feeling and opinion. It is idle for the KING to hope that he can arrest the vast current of public sentiment, so frequently and so unequivocally expressed. The French people have spoken out—and the KING will do wisely by endeavouring to lead, not to thwart the national will. The downfall of M. PERIER was occasioned by the election for the Presidency of the Cham her of Deputies, which though nominally de cided in his favour, was yet in effect against him, the majority being only five for the Mini sterial candidate. There seem to have been two elections and a scrutiny for the important office. At the first, the number of Deputies amounted to 355. The result of the ballot stood thus : For M. Girod de I'Ain, the Ministerial candidate 171 M. Lafitte. M. Beranger 8 Dupont de l'Eure Odillon Barrot 1 Mo bourg 1 (Three votes were lost by being illegible.) But none of the candidates having obtained the absolute majority required by the law (178), a new ballot took place, when there appeared (the number of Deputies present having in creased to 358) :.-- __ _ For M. Girod de l'Ain . M. Lafitte Dupont de l'Eure 1 Majority for the Ministerial candidate -5 !! When we consider that the Chamber of Depu ties was, on this occasion, far from being com plete, only 358 out of the entire number (459) having been present, notwithstanding all the exertions and influence of the Court and the Ministry; and that out ofthe 101 Members neces sary to complete the Chamber, 34 remain to be elected, in consequence of the double, triple, and even quadruple nominations of some Mem bers, it is clear that the Minister was guilty of great folly in meeting the Chamber. But he has paid for his temerity. As to his successor all is yet doubt and un certainty. The Correspondents of the Times and Herald are at variance on thetpoint. Count MOLE is named, at the suggestion of M.PERIER —rather an ominous recommendation ! One thing is however clear, that no Ministry can last any time, which does not act in accordance with the strong current of public feeling now so indig nantly expressed in favour of the brave Poles, who have so long fought the battle of France and of liberty single-handed, against the cruel warfare of Russia, and the still more cruel hos- tility of Prussia. But the day of retribution is now at hand It is said, but we have not yet had authentic accounts, that hostilities have recommenced be tween Holland and Belgium. We shall not be at all surprised should this take place ; but we think the report has originated from the cir cumstance of the armistice having expired, and notice to that effect having been given by the King of HOLLAND. Possibly the change in the French Ministry may cool his Dutch MAJESTY'S appetite for war, as, should events in Paris lead to an inter ference in favour of the Poles, he may have more warlike operations than he likes nearer home. A Cabinet Council was held this day, at one o'clock, at the Foreign Office, in Downing-street, at which were assembled most of his MAJESTY'S Ministers. The populous and influential towns of Green wich, Sheffield, Sunderland, and Devonport, with their contiguous districts, were last night admitted within the pale of the representation. This is as it should be, though we do not see why— anti in this solitary instance we find ourselves to our infinite astonishment, agreeing with Sir C. WETHERELL—CheIsea and its vicinity should not be admitted to the same privilege. Within the last few years this quarter of the metro polis has increased in wealth, not less than in population, to an extent inconceivable to those not acquainted with the locality. What six years ago was Chelsea Common, a vast tract of low, uninclosed ground, is now a city in itself, comprising its streets, shops, and ma nufactories. What scarcely five years ago was another equally extensive tract of waste land, better known by the name of the " Five-fields," is now Belgrave-square, the most splendid quarter of London. Besides this sudden and surprising increase of building and population, Chelsea corn prisegyulham, Battersea, Pimlico,Putney,Barnes, and probably Hammersmith, so that, all things considered, we really think it is entitled to its due share in the representation. We offer this merely as a suggestion to Ministers, and will not dwell further on the subject, lest it might be supposed we had a desire to assist in throw ing obstacles in the way of the Bill. This great healing measure progressed last night in a more satisfactory manner than usual. Still more satisfactory was the amendment of Lord ALTHORP, that in future Saturday would be added to the working days of the House. This is the proper mode of doing business, and convincing the people that Government are really sincere, unanimous, and energetic in their deter mination to press the Bill through Committee. Previous to the discussion on the great ques. tion, Mr. HUNT moved an amendment to a proposal by Lord ALTIIORP that 10,0001. per annum should be added to the income of the Duchess of KENT, for the purpose of providing for the education o f th e P r inc e ss VICTORIA. The lion. Memb er ' s ame ndment was that the grant sh ou ld b e di m i n i s h e d to 5,0001. which w as l ost b y a ma j or it y o f 223, over — nothing, th a t i s , over Mr. HUNT himself, who is thus, literally as well as metaphorically, a mere cypher. We question if such a minority was ever before seen or heard of, even in a House famed from time immemorial, for all sorts of grotesque changes and exhibitions. It is the very incarnation of insignificance. We would advise the Hon. Member for Preston to try his hand at no more divisions. He is a political Unitarian, of the most unpopular class, and had better therefore keep his heterodoxy to himself. The City Members distinguished themselves last night in the House of Commons. Alder manWArrumAN abolished Lord VA LLETORT ; Alderman WOOD " took the shine" out of that Cambrian Philomel Mr. WYNN ; and Alder man ThomrsoN, resolved not to be behind his colleagues in prowess, did equal justice to Sir C. WETHERELL. Who, after this, shall say that Aldermen are no Solomons ? Lord VALLETORT, for one, will, we are sure, dell the base insinuation ; Mr. WYNN, too, W ill shy henceforth, of venting melodious declav tions against them ; and we have a slight not that even the Quixotte of Ultraism himsell the indescribable Sir CHARLES WETHERE will be seized with a " voluntary lock-jaw" wb ever he again approaches the subject.
