l o for Me extfost'Un of the elective franchise to all house holders, and for vote by ballot; and a petition from Stock port, fora repeal of the corn laws. SIBTHORPE gave notice, that he should, when the- Reform Bill was in Committee, move that all 50/. leaseholders should be entitled to rote under the Bill, wichout restrictions as to the period of their leases. By the Bill 21 years was the minimum period. 'Nit-. PORTMAN would support the Gallant Member's a eendment, the 'rather as he had intended to propose a similar one himself. The Hon. Member presented a peti tion from BP.mborough, for an amendment of the laws for the recovery of small debts. CORN LAWS. Mr. HUNT gave notice that he should, ots the 15th of July, submit a mo.ion to the House, f o r the repeal of all laws prohibiting the importation of foreign corn into the country. Lord MILTON moved for returns of 41 ;ports on the abket of the corn trade sent from the several British Consuls resident in foreign stares that export corn, wad which have not been laid before Parliament. Mr. PORTMAN hoped that the Noble Lord, and such Hon. Members as were advocates of a free trade of corn, wou'..l previously institute full inquiry into the subject in all its hearings, and souse forward with some ?natured plan which would admit of a thorough discussion. (Hear.) It were indeed to be wished that such inquiry would have been made before the Noble Lard and the Hon. Member for Preston bad ?announced their intention lof bringing forward the subject at all, and that a uew sti mulus had not been added to the excitement which already too much prevailed in the agricultural districts, and which might lead to a renewal of the deplorable occurrences of last winter. If Hon. Members would persist under such circumstances in re-agitating the question, it must be on their own responsibility. At least they might state what course they meant to pursue. -what better system of corn law than that in force they meant to propose—whe ther, for example, they meant to propose a plan like to that of the Hon. Member for Middlesex, by which a fixed rate of duty should be imposed on alt foreign corn enter ing our ports, instead of the present scale of average ? Mr. HUME would be prepared to shew at the proper time that his fixed duty plan would be the safest and best for the home Brower as well as consumer of corn. Lord MILTON was not answerable for the intentions which the Hon. Member for Preston might have in bring ing forward his proposed motion for a repeal of the corn laws. For himself, he was anxious that the House should be in possession of the fullest information on the subject previous to that thorough discussion which he thought it not expedient to provoke till next Session. Such was the object of his present motion. Colonel TORRENS would endeavour to shew when the subject was before the House, that till the corn laws were placed on a sound and unfluctuating footing, the farmer would be exposed to all the vicissitudes of the present very vicious system. He was not an advocate for the ad mission of foreign corn without soy protecting duty whatever—( Hear)—but only for such a duty as would be equivalent to the amount of the particular burdens on agriculture. Mr. JAMES, in answer to the Hon. Member for Der vetshire, thought it right to state tbat the plan of the Hon. Member for Preston was not to propose any new species of corn law, but to do away with all corn laws whatever, with the expediency of which plan he (Mr. James) entirely concurred. Mr. I'ORTMAN in that case would feel it to be his duty to give the motion of t' e Hon. Member for Preston every opposition in his power. Mr. J. WOOD was an advocate for an entirely free trade in corn. If the agricultural interest sought protec tion at the expence of the other interests of the State, on the ground of being subject to peculiar taxes, let those taxes be repealed and divided equally among the com• munity at large, and thereby do away with the pretext of the present monstrous system. Alderman THORIF'SON could not subscribe to the pro position of the Hon. Member for Preston, but would ad mit foreign corn at a duty equal to the difference between the burdens borne by the agricultural and those on the other interests. Mr. WARBURTON entertained the views laid down in the writings of the Ricardo school of political economists. Mr. BENETT deprecated all premature discussion of so agitating a subject as that of the Corn Laws. They were assembled together to discuss a great question, and till it was disposed of, he thought it but common justice to the agricultural interest that the Corn Laws should not be thus cavilled at peace-meal. This was the more ne cessary, as the defects in the Corn Laws were but a con sequence of their 'vicious tampering. with the currency, en that it was beginning at the wrong end to apply a remedy to• the former, while their source was left untouched. Mr. MORRISON said that the feelings of the farmers were hourly becoming more and more friendly to the grin• ciple of a fixed duty. Mr. FERGUSON contended that a free trade in corn would he ruinous to the landlord, the farmer, and the agri• cultural labourer. Col. SIBTHORPE said a few words to the same effect. Mr. TRANT conceived that it was but justice to the manufacturing interest, on which the chief burden of the Corn Laws fell, that those laws should undergo revision. Mr. IRVING would have no objection to admitting the corn of the Baltic at a low duty, if its growers would tike our manufactures in return ; but as they, on the con trary, refused our goods into their market, we were bound not to admit their corn duty free into ours. _ Mr. RUTHVEN maintained that the free admission of foreign corn would be fatal to the agriculture, the only re source, of Ireland. The motion for the returns were then agreed to. Mr. MAXWELL presented a petition from Sir H. Leea, of Dublin, against the Reform Bill. Mr. GORDON laid on the table a Bill to amend and consolidate the Acts relative to the treatment of insane persons.—Read a first time; to be read a second time on Monday.—Adjourned at Nine o'clock. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. " The Bill" was brought in again last night by Lord John Russell, and underwent its first reading in the new House of Commons. Sir Robert Peel objected to the whole of it: this was not only taking the hull by the horn., but by the tail too. The Right Hon. Baronet intimated, however, that he should only oppose it ad far as the second reading concluded, and that after that he should offer no captious or vexatious opposi•ion to the details. The power of voting at county elections is now to be brought down to seven years' leaseholders of 50/. per annum, and, if we understand the matter rightly, to smaller" leaseholders in value if their term be longer. This of course extends the franchise yet more than was at first in tended. No new light was struck out last night'. indeed, how should there be ? The Bill is knEwn and approved by the people ; yet was there something very candid and noble in the manner in which Lord John Russell reintro duced the measure. What we would wish is, that it may be peculiarly attended to in its progress, in order that all may learn and be prepared, when it comes into operation, to act under it without perplexity or embarrassment. The second reading was intended for Thursday ; but Lord Althorp giving way to the application of Sir Robert Peel, it was finally settled that it should take place on Monday week. We do not see why, on a question of so much moment, Saturday should not be added to the Par liamentary days—of course without violating the solem nity of the Sabbath. It may be said that this would be hurrying through an important question. It is quite the contrary. Adding hours of debate is not hurrying, but prolonging the consideration of a question. Times. Last night a conversation—for we cannot call it a de bate—took place in the House of Lords, on the state of ou r foreign relations, particularly in reference to the affairs of Belgium and Portugal. The subject was in troduced properly by a Noble Earl, whose knowledge of our foreign policy is rendered accurate and extensive by hisrecent experience of office, and oboes vigilant . atten tion to the present conduct our . foreign . affurs is at once stimulated u,,,0u at. enlightened by his practical acquaintance with reily tolfiezari, Greyi lona out of which it has grown. The d explanations which, if they possessed no strilcincr novelty, ta'ne and disclosed no diplomatic secrets, were at leastuferawnakifn followed tone and satisfactory in their statements. the Duke of Vel • lington, whose remarks, thoou'olwedby gave an additional interest to the conversation, from brief,th o f e r f a e a p ra k i whichn i ion immediate ex pressed respecting the expediency that up to recog nition of Don Miguel. \% e will the policy the period when the late Ministry y e'ffilre'e which they had pursued with regard to 13 and Por tuguese affairs was not very different frO b i e n y g' t e h t a h t which is now avowed and acted upon pre sent Cabinet. The former had admitted thee h of the Belgians to national independence, and had r opened t the conferences of London to settle the differences between them and their late Sovereign, without permitting either to have recourse to arms. The latter has cordially con curred in the recognition ofßelgic independence, and has continued the negotiations, to render the separation of the kingdom of the Netherlands into its ancient elementscon sistent with the preservation of the territorial rights of each, and the guarantee of general tranquillity. The former Ministry had treated Don Miguel personally with proper indignation,—had refused to recognize his achnis• ' -ion into the community of Sovereigns,-,had demanded, though probably not in the tone which the British . Goiern- : merit wielded by the buke of Wellington, Might have et& ployed, reparation for insults Offered to British stAjects,— , end had annottnced that no &plethoric relations would be renewed with hh 'Goveriarthmt-, till he bad performed a great act of justice., by l'a'suing a general amnesty in favour of those peraeenred men, who, relying upon We tyrant's oaths, their own loyalty, and British 'Sb . i.. , Ouragement, bad raised the standard of tavolt against his perjuries and usurpations. 'file latter has continued the excht- Rion of the Lisbon Dey from diplomatic intercourse with the Court of their Sovereign . , and has compelled !dm with fear and trembling to atone for insults and re dress wrongs in4ticted On British subjects. Thus far the two lino Of policy alluded to rue parallel re etch other, or, if tl*re is any divergence, it lekna 'to the side of greater 1 energy in the present edVisers of the Crown. But it is evident that the late Administration left office at a time when circumstances were just arising which must have put their peaceful professions to a severs test, and to which their doctrines could not hot applied without the danger of a general congagtation. In the King's speech, at the comniencernont of the last session, the principle of inter rentitm,--though afterwards explained away in the debate —was pretty unequivocally announced, and an opinion was given of the "enlightened" Government of the King of the Netherlands, as compared with the conduct of his " rtvolted subiests," which, though just in itself, implied not only a disposition to interference, but e'Oiwed on which side that interference would be eleercised. If the conferences had gone en as they began,—if the Belgians had become more turbulent and menacing, as they did,—if tan polder of the ?Tench Government had been wee:relied by continued agitation and repeated tumults, as it really was,—and if the arrogance of lliissia had increased, there is much reason to apprehend that the schism between settled and revolutionary states would have been widened, and that a Cabinet at the head of which stood an illustrious Anti-Reformer, when the half of &rope was in a state of revolution, would have joined a coalition of regular Governments and large armies - to repress revolt and bring the 13elgians to their senses. Any attempt of this kind must hare led to a war, and a war of interference with that country must have led to a genera/ conflagration in Europe. Neither the French Go'ernment, nor the French people, whose confidrrict it had been so important to win, or to retain in these transactions, could have allowed their Ambassitdor to treat, in the London Congress, about the settlement of Belgium, with the same freedom, or have ratified his decisions with the same readiness, if an Eng lish Prime Minister ; Whom they had accused of belonging to the Holy A'liance, had occupied the place of the liberal Noble Earl now at the head of the Government. When the present Cabinet was formed, an important part of the de vice inscribed on its flag was " Non-interference in the in ternal affairs of other States." On this principle they would have been obliged to have tolerated the establish ment of a republic in Belgium, had the Belgians preferred that form of government to a monarchy. On this prin ciple they have been led to abstain from any attempt to influence the Belgian people in their choice of a Sovereign. On this principle they claim no power of dictating any spe cies of internal arrangement, or deciding in any pecuniary transaction between Holland and Belgium. But to settle the boundaries between conterminous , states—to compel an adherence to the faith of international treaties—to pre vent or punish an invasion with the object of conquest— are not acts of interference with any rights which every independent nation may exercise within its own limits. In joining the Congress, and signing the protocols, the British Ministry has not therefore receded from its ori ginal professions. Nor do we see how the passage in the King's speech, announcing what had been done, can bear the interpretation put upon it by the Noble Earl who com menced the conversation. With respect to Portugal, we have room to say very little. To the new circumstances which have arisen since the change of the British Ca binet, the present Ministers and their predecessors profess to apply different rules of policy. The latter quote trea ties which bind us to protect Portugal against foreign ag gression; but as the former properly reply, these treaties cannot certainly call us to interfere against a Govern ment which demands satisfaction for an admitted wrong. The Government of France has as good a right as that of Great Britain to insist on justice being done to its subjects; and while our own fleet had scarcely left the Tagus, after having extorted satisfaction to our claims, how could we object to a similar course pursued by a neighbouring state ? The non-recognition of Don Miguel is made a ground of complaint against the present Admi nistration ; but how long is it since the policy of this mea sure was considered as so urgent by their predecessors? Have the conditions on which the latter offered to recog nize the Prince been compl ed with, or is it right now to acknowledge him without the promised amnesty, while it would have been wrong in the month of November last? The most important view of this case was suggested by the Duke of Wellington, as connected with the late ab dication of Don Pedro, and the arrival of this Prince in France while France is in a state of quasi hostility with Portugal. By the fall of the Emperor he is rendered unable to aid his daughter in the recovery of her rights, and as the overthrow of Don Miguel becomes thus less probable, the motives for delaying to acknowledge him are proportionally weakened. We ought, therefore, it is said, to renew our diplomatic intercourse with his Government as soon as possible, because his throne is for ever secure. On the other hand, though Don Pedro may be unable to support his daughter's rights, a French invading army, led by the Ex-Emperor, may hurl the usurper from his throne, and place the young Queen upon it. We ought, therefore, it is argued, to re-_ cognize the Prince, because he is in danger ; and because, by treaty, we may be ultimately under the necessity of offering him our protection. These two apparently con tradictory arguments may be left to settle the proper con clusion between them. We shall only say on the subject, that a French army could not invade Portugal by land without passing through Spain, and that Spain would re sist an enterprise which could not be accomplished with out alarming all Europe. The invasion which might be effected by a naval expedition, on the other hand, must have our concurrence or permission, and could not rea sonably have conquest for its object, nor could it establish the Ex-Emperor without the assistance or consent of a great part of the Portuguese nation. In this latter case, we, who have suffered all sorts of insults from the usurper, would have no reason to regret his fall, as we should find our interests better protected under his successor. Be side's, rather than risk the loss of our protection in critical circumstances, Don Miguel would consent to our de mands, and our recognition of this title would follow .as a matter of course. It is gratifying to bear from Earl Grey, that though he cannot state with confidence in the present state of Europe that peace will be preserved, he entertains strong hopes that we are not destined to be de prived of that blessing.— Times. We are summoned by correspondent., and prompted by our own feelings, to take some notice of the very singular assertion of Sir Robert Inglis the other night in the House of Commons, that "he had looked over seven consecutive Speeches from the Throne, and in every one of them he had found a direct allusion to the providence of God';" but there was no such allusion in the late Speech. Mr. Goulhurn was somewhat warm on the same subject, and Mr. Sadler at " blood beat." Now is it not most remarkable that the supposed fact, upon which the animadversions of these gentlemen are founded, is essentially no fact at all ? The truth, as to all the pur poses of debate, is oth-rwiae than as Sir Robert Inglis would have it understood to be. The superintending care of Providence is not necessarily introduced into a King's Speech on the opening of a Session of Parliament, and Sir Robert Inglis, as well as the other gentlemen, have been in the House of Commons when all mention of Providence was omitted; and yet this is the first time they have ever ob served on the omission. It is an odd piety that thus comes by fits and starts ! But where did Sir Robert choose his con secutive years or consecutive Speeches? According to one of our correspondent's letters, which we publish, he must have picked his period with some dexterity, to be able to count seven speeches in succession, all of which, without exception, should make mention of the providence of God. To come to a late date=was there any mention of it last February twelvemonth, on the opening of the Ses sion ? We observe that it is the practice of the American President always, or generally, to 'make some reference to the benevolence of the Deity. 'The Message of General Jackson thus begins on the opening of the last session (Dec. 9, 1830) :—" The beneficent Author of all good has granted us during the present year health, peace, and plen-y." And it thus closes:—" Under an over-ruling and mercifial Providence the agency of this spirit has been thus far signalized, in the prosperity and glory of our be loved country." We hope Englishmen will learn to despise cant as much as they venerate true piety. The allegation of Sir Robert Inglis was virtually false; it misled those who read it, and therefore cannot have any smack of relish of religion-in it.— Times. The charge briaught by Sir Robert Bateson against Lord Plunkett was repelled last night in the House of Lords by his Lordship, in a way which must satisfy everyone of two things :—first, that there is no foundation whatever for the imputation ; and secondly, that Sir Robert Rawson is a very silly individual, to make such a grave charge, on no other authority than the gossip of a club room. .Lord Londonderry (a 3 like draws to like) endeavoured to defend his friend, and manifesto no small degree of pique when , . Lord Elleriborbugh declared that he considered it to be a duty incumbent on the individual in question to inveSti. gate the matter further, and then diitinetly to del wife. cher or not he adhered to the Charge. Lord London'd6rry, in whose hands Sir Robert BAteson lia's placed himself, felt jealous at this 6ci:oathment on his own functiOns of ad- Viitr, and observed, that " hi 4 Hon. friend was quite as fit a judge of what h ought to do as some other p rsuins , and perhaps fitter." With all deft-inct Loidstip, the sooner a man titak - eI atonement to him whom he has Ca- It inniated the better. —Morning Chronicle. The first step in the progress of the lieform bill was taken last night, Loi.d John Russell, in introducing the subject to the House, paid some high, but not more high than deserved, compliments to the people of England. " I cannot proceed further (said his Lordship) without saying in a few words, how mach I admire, as worthy of 411 praire, and glory, the conduct of the people of tug.. land —(Cheers)—and I say this, without any reference to the merits of the measure iteelf, which, however, has suc cessfully undergone the great test of national approbation. —(Cheers.) * * * It has be en said that the elections were not governed by reason, but by passion—(Cheers from the Opposition)—that they were under the influence of passion I do not deny—(Re newed cheers from the Opposition)—it was the passion of the love of country that made them e xhibit that ani mation and enthusiasm, which lead men to forget all their own petty interests when the public good is concerned.—_ (Cheers.) Nothing but a passion of this kind could have persuaded then, with only the income of a few shillings a day, to give up all the bribes that temptation offered to their acceptance—to give up all that was insinuated upon the subject, the possession of a privilege which they had enjoyed, and which they were told their children ought to enjoy after them—a valuable privi lege too—for the sake of what? For the sake of a measure which was not for the benefit of a few, hut for the future benefit and welfare of millions of the in habitants of this kingdom ?—(Loud cheering.) This must have been a lesson to some who despise, and who never !peak but with disparagement and contempt of the lower classes." The public have been so often tantalizei with reports of important alterations in the new Bill, that it is natural they should be anxious to hear his Lordship's statement on this point. " The features and details (said his Lordship) of that measure, I shall not think it neces sary to enter this day particularly into, because they are the same as those of the Bill that was before the House during the late Parliament—(Cheers)—and as the slight improvements which have been made are solely intended to carry into eff ct the principles of the Bill, I think it will be quite sufficient if I leave the consideration of all the details of the measure till the period when this House shall have sanctioned the Bill by a first and second reading, and the Bill shall be about to be committed." In a state ment of the alterations which is in circulation, the most important is the extension of the right of voting to lease holAers for seven years, and whether determinable on lives or not, and the giving votes in boroughs to land occupied in conjunction with a house, warehouse, or counting house, held under the same landlord, and amounting alto gether to 101. of rent. The other alterations are too mi nute to deserve particular notice at present. Lord John went into a history of the representation from the earliest times, showing the constant fluctuations in the places re turning Members, and expl tined by reference to cases, the first of which was from his family borough of Tavistock, how of late years the representation of towns had devolved on the neighbouring great proprietors. Down to a com paratively recent period, though the number of electors might not be great, yet still they made an independent re turn. To show how little power was possessed in elec tions by the Lords in the reign of Charles the Second, he instanced the case of the Exclusion Bill, which was re jected by a majority of two to one in the Lords. The Commons were generally in favour of the measure. The King dissolved the Parliament. Had such a thing hap pened in modern times, 150 or 200 new Members would, upon the new election, have found their way into the House to vote against the sense of the people. It was not so then, for one Mwister was retained a Secretary of State, and when he proposed an amendment to the Ex clusion Bill, he could not find one Member to second him, a tolerable proof that the House of Commons no longer possesses the popular controul which the House of that day possessed. Lord John's speech was throughout able and conciliating, and he concluded with summing up, very impartially, the advantages which the country wound derive from the measure. Sir Robert Peel was willing to wave all discussion till the second reading; as if they were to commence a discussion, it might be protracted for six or seven days, as before, without an object. He thought !that one free and full discussion on the principle of the Bill would be sufficient. The second reading of the Bill was fixed for Monday, July 4.—Morning Chronicle. The Archbishop of Canterbury brought in, last night, his Tithe Composition Regulation Bill, which was read a first time, and Lord Dacre expressed his intention to sub mit a Bill for the Equitable Commutation of Tithes. Earl Grey said, " It Certainly was of the greatest im portance to endeavour to establish some system respecting tithes (en the rights connected with which no one could entertain any doubt), which might have the effect of re medying the evils which were produced by the present system. It was a subject to which he would give his most attentive consideration. A commutation of tithes —if it could be effected so as to settle the question finally and for ever—would certainly he most desirable. But, adverting to the extraordinary difficulties which would, in the first instance, oppose themselves to any satisfactory arrange.. ment, the bias of his mind was to the belief . that the best way of ultimately arriving at a:satisfactory commutation of tithes would be, in the first place, to adopt such a Bill as that which had just been presented by the Most Reve rend Prelate for facilitating their c,Anposition. By the working of that Bill, it would be seen what further pro ceedings might be advantageously adopted. Both of the Bills in question were of so much importance, and their provisions must be attended with so much difficulty and complication, that he certainly very much doubted the ex pediency or practicability of carrying either of them through Parliament during the present Sesssou Perhaps the best course to pursue would be, for the Most Reverend Prelate and the Noble Lord to state the nature and ten dency of the proposed arrangements, and to leave the sub ject to be considered in the interval before the commence ment of another Session of Parliament." As to his Lord. ship's declaration, that no one could entertain any doubt as to the rights connected with tithes, we presume he meant nothing more than the trueism, that the titheholder has a legal title to the tithe, so long as the law does not alter the destination of tithe. The Legislature has already frequently interfered with the destination of tithes, and of course may do so again. But, however this may be, we fear his Lordship will have some difficulty in prevail ing on the owners and occupiers of land in England to rest satisfied for a time with a composition, instead of a Commutation. But it is as well to drop the subject for the present, as no good can arise from agitating a matter now which can only be settled next year.—Morn. Chron. Lord John Russell, in a remarkably full House, moved for leave to renew the Reform Bill for England and Wales. His Lordship stated that the Bill had undergone no ma terial alterations ; the changes that would be found in it were only improvements, such as would en-ble the prin ciple of the Bill to be carried more completely into effect. He would not enumerate the amendments till he moved that the House go into a Committee on the Bill. In the course of his speech, however, his Lordship stated that leases for seven years (not fourteen, as before proposed), the rent being 50/. or upwards, would give votes for county Members. The speech of his Lordship was mainly occu pied with a general history of the progress of representation in this country. His Lordship contended that the fre quent changes that had taken place proved that the Con stitution of the House of Commons was not so unvary. ing and settled as to render it almost unhallowed work to touch it—that great changes in it had been at dif ferent times made, to meet altered circumstances or the exigencies of the times—that the Scotch and Irish Unions were great changes in the state of the representation, largely destroying then existing rights and practices— changes promoted not by Whigs or Radicals, but by Lord Somers and Mr. Pitt—men warmly eulogised by the Anti-Reformers; that after the Revolution of 1688-89 in particular, it was declared that elections ought to be free —that they were notoriously not free, many borough arid other voters being driven to the poll more arbitrarily than ever the Irish forty-shilling freeholders were carried thither—that the law said seats were not to be made matters of traffic—that the law and the practice were in consistent, as seats were filled by nominations, and ob tained by purchase—and that the law and practice ought to harmonise, to effect which was the object of his Majesty's Ministers. His Lordship intimated that he should hereafter propose an amendment of the Bribery Laws, Mr. Fox having justly urged that it was monstrous to send poor voters to Newgate, while they were sur rounded by Members in that House who bad received or paid thousands on account of seats. Sir II Peel stated that he should reserve bia opposition till the second read ing, and consequently the discussion closed very early. The Bill is to,be read a second time on Monday week. — Morning Herald. ' the new Reform Bill has been proposed to the new Par liament ; and 'it will be found from the speech of Lord John Russell, that it differs from the hat only in. a slight extension of the Sweeping dlarranchiPmut previotisly con templated. considering the peculiar circumstances in which the Reform question no* stands recollecting the union of popular excitement and intimidation of the better informed classes under which its progress has been made, and, aboire all; the gross misfepresentations by which electors were wrought upon to return a great number of Members pledged to the Reform Bill, we think we have reason to look not only with satisfaction, but with some degree tif triumph, upon the proceedings in the House of Commons last night. the Statement of Lord John Russell *as Made with his usual flippancy and feebleness—for let venal writers vaunt as they will, and foolish functionaries compliment him with snuff-boxes, his Lordship is one of the pettiest orators that ever undertook a great question. Sir Robert Peel did not deem it necessary to reply, but announced, with a firmness and determination which is the best answer to the calum nies circulated against his consistency upon the question, his resolution to take his stand boldly, and divide the House upon the recond reading. Never was there less occasion given for even the shadow of an imputation of " factious opposition." Sir Robert Peel camly de clared his intention, and pointed out a course for the adoption of Ministers, with regard to the time and manner of bringing in the Bills, to which on their part it was thought prudent to yield. It appears that the Government had not decided, even yet, as to whether the three Bills for the separate portions of the United Kingdom were to proceed together or consecu tively. Sir Robert Peel's suggestion that they should proceed together was agreed to ; his suggestion to post pone the second reading from Thursday next to Monday week, was also agreed to ; and, upon the whole, a singular spirit of compliance seemed to possess the Treasury Bench. What may be the ultimate fate of this momentous mea sure, we dare not yet venture to hazard an anticipation ; but sure we are that the friends of the Constitution have much reason for hope, in the tone and deportment of their party in Parliament, notwithstanding the advantage gained by their opponents, through means which would make even victory disgraceful.—Morning Post. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FREN CII PAPERS. (From the Messager des Chambres of Thursday. The object of Marshal Diebitsch in stationing a part of his army in the province of Polsk, previous to his death, was not to cross the Vistula above Warsaw, but to procure it sustenance by provisions drawn from Prussia, having been nearly starved upon the Bug and Narew after the communications with Lithuania were cut off. General Gielgud is now stationed in Samogitia, a Lithuanian district on the north of the Niemen. He crossed this river on the sth of June, near Kowno, from which place he drove the Russians. His forces amounted to 8,000 men, which were very soon increased to three times that number by the junction of the insurgents and the rise of the inhabitants. Ros sienre and Telcha were occupied by detachments. The Russians retired with precipitation at all points. The insurrection of the Ukraine is confirmed by the Austrian Observer, in terms from which it may be inferred, that it was much more considerable than the censored journal dared to state. The Journals of Warsaw have already spoken of the insurrection ; and there is now no reason to doubt of its cir cumstantial correctness. It will prevent the Russians of Vol hynia and Podolia from receiving the reinforcements of Kiew ; and give, without doubt, an irresistible impetus to the move ments of those two provinces. The Russian regiments, it will be shortly seen, will capitulate in the midst of these people, who will surround and block them up in some interior position. BERLIN, JUNE 10.—The arrival of General Flahault, the French Ambassador of our Court, appears to justify the hopes of the maintenance of a general peace. The .Vessager des Chambres contains the following on the death of Marshal Diebitsch _ _ " The chagrin caused by the dismissal from his command, which immediately preceded this event, joined to his excessive indulgence in the use of intoxicating liquors, appears to have oc. casioned the apoplexy which destroyed him. Marshal Diebitsch partook of much of the character and manners of Gen. Blucher. He was rather more capable of combining a plan of tactics; but, like Blucher, had the complete manners of a soldier, and an ac tive spirit. He was a great eater, and had the deplorable habit of drinking daily after dinner several bowls of punch, in order, as he said, to promote digestion, and keep off the cholera mor bus. His military operations in Poland were all unfortunate either from miscalculation or bad execution. It is, however, but just to take into account the unforeseen difficulties by which he was assailed—in the first instance by the sudden thaw, and afterwards by the various insurrections which cut off his communications. At the same time, thwarted by the Russian Generals, who were his secret enemies, and by the Grand Duke Michael—a Prince brave as any other soldier, but incapable of command except upon parade; seeing an extensive con. flagration, in a pert of the empire lighted by his own faults, or, at least, vexed by the failure of his attempts to pass the Vistula, his mind became distracted. A disposition to apoplexy could not but be increased by so many overwhelming cares, and by the immoderate use of spirits ; and the news of his dismissal, and the substitution in his place of the Russian Paskewitsch, must have been a finishingstroke to him. Paske witsch is said to be the perfect contrast to his predecessor, re. served, cold, and sober.' He has hitherto only distinguished himself by his conduct in the war against the Persians, as Die bitsch was , only known by Lis campaign against the Turks. 1 here is every reason to believe that Paskewitsch, as well as his predecessor, will find in the Poles very different warriors from the Asiatics." _ _ _ The destination of the English and French fleets seems to at tract attention in foreign countries. The Antwerp Journal says on this subject, It is the interest of England and France to in tervene by armed demonstrations, if necessary, in order to pre vent the annihilation of Poland. Hence we conclude that the two fleets will go to the Baltic or the Black Sea. It is worthy of remark, that by the employment of naval force France does not give offence to any nation in Europe, whereas, by succouring Poland with an army, she would be obliged to declare war against all Germany, and pass through it; and, consequently, to wage an unjust war of aggression and invasion, reprobated by the principles of true policy, as well as of morality and honour." GERMAN PAPERS. WARSAW, JUNE 17.—The Warsaw Stale Gazette says " The corps of General Witt is at Pultusk. The Russian army beyond the Narew is said to be about 36,000 strong; and a corps of 20,000 men, with forty pieces of cannon, sent in pursuit of General Gielgud. These troops are said to be part of the Guard, so that only half of them remain with the main army. General Krenuz is said to have left the Government of Lublin, and gone to Podlachia ; and his former positions are occupied by Generals Rudiger and Dawedoff. It is reported that General Knorung is sent against General Chrapowski." A later number of the same Journal says that General Kreutz had advanced through ltadzyn to Brzesc, in order to attack the Lithuanian insurgents who had appeared on the other side of Brzesc. Accounts from Gnieworzow, on the Vistula, report that news had been received there that General Chrzanowski had gained, on the Ist, considerable advantage over General Rudiger. No direct news from General Chrzanowski has reached Warsaw. Letters from Lithuania say that the insurgents, together with General Chrapowski, had taken the town of Stonim, and that the Grand Duke Constantine was gone to Minsk. The Warsaw Courier says that the insurgents in Podolia had arrived at Santanow, and made the Russian garrison prisoners ; only one officer escaped to Husialyn, and the Russians had fled to Gallicia with the public offers. The insurgents had found many arms that were buried, and General Wittgenstein's cannon. The insurgents are certainly 30,0i0 in number. fhe War Department gave notice that the number of phy sicians for the army and the military hospitals are now suffi. cient, and, therefore, those who arrive after the 30th of this month will not have their travelling expellees paid. Dr. Searle, an English physician known by his cures of the Indian cholera, who practised long in India, especially at Madras, during the prevalence of the disorder, by which he was himself three times attacked, has arrived at Warsaw. He left London eleven days ago, at the instance of the Polish agent. It has been announced by one of our Boards that Dr. Leo, who practices here has employed bismuth with great success as a remedy against cholera. There were received in Warsaw, from Hungary, for the hos. ' , Reis, 300 hogsheads of wine, 150 of vinegar, and different other articles. FRONTIERS OF LITHUANIA, JUN - E 12.—The Russian corps opposed to General Gielgud is stated in letters from Kawen (or Kouna) at 22,000 men. Part of them came from Russia, and General Tolstoi is said to have arrived at Kawen with the van guard. The news that General Sacken was shot in an action in Lithu ania seems to be unfounded ; on the contrary, both he and Ge neral Fricken are said to have joined General Tolstoi in Kawen, where General Rennenkampf. is expecthl from Polangen, and from which place (Kawen) it is intended to put down the insur rection by a decisive blow. General Gielgud, who is said to have 16 cannon, is reported not to have gone towards Polangen, as at first believed, but to intend to spread the insurrect.on in the Go vernment of Wilna. It may be supposed he will have a battle with the above-mentioned Russian corps; but, from the insecu rity of the roads, and the strict quarantine on the Prussian fron tiers, it is difficult to obtain correct information from Lithuania.

WARSAW, JUNE 11.—We are now released from all in certitude • our wishes are accomplished. The hazardou s pl an of our Generalissimo has succeeded, and the Samogitians are s aved. On the 6th of June, in the morning, the Polish army pa ssed the Niemen at two principal points, Gulgudzeski and Wilkie. This has caused the greatest joy and enthusiasm to the whole of the inhabitants of the right side of the bank of the Niemen, and the Polish army will be supplied with all its wants from their brothers. It will give assistance to the revo. lution in Courland, where numbers of the inhabitants have joined the Poles. The army of General Gielgud has a sun/Tient number of Officers with it to organize 25,000 men, which ill ` w be suffi cient to occupy part of the coast of the Baltic Sea. e learn that Count Przezdziki, sncient Colonel of the Lancers, is pro claimed General of the Forces in the district of Ochmiana ; the army he commands consists of 14,000 men. Lord COLCHESTER leaves town on Monday, to resume his comxnuad on the South American station. Last night a public meeting was held at the Bann. Coffeehouse, Oxford -market, for the purpose of nominating two fit and proper persons to serve in Parlia ment for the united district of St. Pancras, Paddington, and St. Marylebone parishes, in the event of the pro posed Reform Bill being carried.

In the House of Lords last night, Lord PLUNKETT repeated his denial, in decided and energetic terms, of the truth of the charge brought forward against him by Sir A. BATESON, a night or two since, in the House of Commons, that he had promised ap pointments in the Law as well as in the Church, in return for votes at the late elections. He denied that either himself or any member of hip family had, in the slightest degree, interfered with these elections on which the Duke of BUCKINGHAM observed, that such denial was altogether superfluous, for that none of their Lordships believed him guilty of undue in terference with the freedom of election. The Arch bishop of CANTERBURY introduced a Tithe Compo sition Bill, of which Lord GREY expressed his ap probation. On the subject of our foreign relations, the Earl of ABERDEEN dwelt at considerable length, and instituted extensive enquiries. Earl GREY, however, declined answering many of his Lordship's questions, but with regard to Portugal observed that the French were doing nothing more than England would have done, had she been similarly situated. In the Belgian affair, the Noble Earl denied that. Ministers were exerting any undue influence, or that they interfered in it from interested motives. The Duke of WELLINGTON recommended that this country should make every possible exertion to pre serve amicable relations with France. In the House of Commons, after Mr. BARING had moved for copies of whatever informa tion Government might be in possession, on the subject of that frightful epidemic, the cholera, Lord JOHN RUSSELL brought forward the Reform question. His Lordship's speech on this occasion was singularly clear, argumentative, and apposite. He showed himself " armed at all points," per fectly familiar with the historical merits of the ques tion, and the nature of the House of Commons, from the earliest period, when it assumed a settled, intelligible, and constitutional form, His praise of the disinterested conduct of the people during the late election, came with peculiar propriety from him. A RUSSELL, to be in strict historical keeping, should always be found on the side of the people and the Constitution, against the encroachments of despotism and bigotry. There was nothing elaborate, nothing turgid, nothing exaggerated in his Lordship's eulo giums ; truth inspired him, and he did her justice. His speech, if not brilliant, was calm, thoughtful, and rational; insisting on the rightful privileges of the people with the force of a patriot and the acumen of a statesman. Dutch Papers contain little news of any worth. They quote one or two unimportant extracts from the Warsaw Gazette:— WARSAW, JUNE 13.—The Warsaw Gazette intimates that notwithstanding the rejection of the proposal for a change of our Government all the Members of it, hurt by the mark of distrust, intend, with the President Prince Czartoriski at their head, to send in their resignation. In this case, if it is intended not to deprive them of the sa tisfaction which is dear to them, and to preserve union, the only means of repairing the evil will be to confirm them in their office by a new nomination. The departure of the corps of General Kreutz from 'the district of Lublin, was thought at Warsaw to be a re treat of the Russians, but it seems, from later accounts, that it was merely a change of position, as General Rudi ger came immediately from Uscilug, and occupied Lublin. A despatch from General Count Ledechowski, Go vernor of Modlin, dated the Stb instant, informs the Com mander-in-Chief that on the preceding day a Russian flag of truce had brought to the Polish post on the Narew, a proclamation to the Polish soldiers. On the same day, another Russian officer brought the same proclamation to another Polish post. The Polish officers acted very judiciously, they called together their men and read the proclamations to them. The men are stated to have laughed at them, and to have affirmed that they would defend themselves to the utmost, and not lay down their arms. The copies of the proclamations were thrown into the fire, while the Poles sang a patri otic song, and the Russian officers were dismissed. THE HAGUE, JUNE 21.—We hear that the King and the Prince of Orange will shortly go to Breda to view the camp in the neighbourhood of that city. By a Royal decree of the ISth, it is ordered that per sons coming from or through Belgium, are to come only through the fortresses of Nimeguen, Bois-le-Due, Breda, and Bergen-op-ZOOM. ROTTERDAMi JUNE 22.--The Central Committee for the Navigation of the Rhine exchanged on the 16th inst., at Mayence, the ratification of the Convention for the free navigation of the Rhine, concluded on the 31st of March, and fixed the 17th of July next as the day on which the new regulations shall be in force. STUFF TRADE.—At Bradford market, on Thursday, the supply of some kinds of low goods for ex portation was much too small for the demand, therefore an advance in price took place. The stuff trade, generally, has lately improved from four to seven per cent. Wool and yarns have also advanced, especially the low qualities. —Leeds Intelligencer. DEATH BY DRUNKENNESS PREVENTED. —" A wealthy Devonshire farmer, after making some ex. cellent bargains in Wiheliscombe market, overgorged his stomach with strong beer and brandy grog, so that be fell from his house, about two miles from the town, in a fit of apoplexy. He was discovered lying at the road side in a complete state of stupor, by Mr. RICHARD YOUNG, wh o seeing the deplorable condition of the sufferer, without any hesitation cut open the temporal artery with his pen-knife, and other passengers having joined him, he sent off for Dr. SULLY, who immediately attended, and by means of READ'S stomach pump, dislodged, as the Doctor ex presses it, ' such a load of a bominable fluid as. I could hardly have supposed the human stomach would have held,' when the man became sensible, was conveyed to bed (where he fell into a profound sleep,) an d was restored to his family next 'not ning."— Taunton Courier. It would be as well if those who have the ma nagement of such matte's would bear in mind that wa tering the streets, and rendering them a mass of mud, are two very different things. imiturioN ron. SHERIFFS—(THIS DAY). The poll commenced at ten O'clock this morning, and up to the middle of the day proceeded very slowly. The numbers will not be declared till four o'clock. The vote✓` given this morning have considerably increased the majority obtained yesterday by 'Afr. Alderman - Cowan and Mr. Pirie. Mr. Alderman Scales attended at Guildhall, but neither of the other candidates were tiresent. Monday will be the great day for Alderman Scales. LAW INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY). ROLLS COURT. His Honour, the MASTER of the ROLLS, disposed Of up , ards of forty consent causes of no importance this morning, and erwattl:.; ptoeeeded to hear causes, but nothing'of interest took place tip to the time of our going to press. VICE CHAACELLOP'S COURT. The V ICE-CHANCELLOR took pleas; clauses, and further di. rections to-day, and disposed of the *hole of the eases in his paper before one o'clock, when he proceeded to hear motions, but nothing of public importance had taken tdaeo when our re. porter left. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. To-day having been appointed for the trial of causes on bills of exchange and promissory -notes, his Lordship took a great many undefended ones. Nothing of public interest occurred up to the time of our going to press. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. The Court was occupied the whole of the morning in an issue directed by the Court of Chancery, devoid of public interest. The case of Mrs. Thomas, the nurse, v. the Marquis of Lon donderry, for a gross assault committed upon her by the Noble Marquis, at Holdernesse-house, stands next upon the paper; but great doubts are entertained of its coming on today, or, indeed, if the public will hear any thing more about the matter, as it is currently reported that a compromise had taken place. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(FI-HS DAY.) FROM LLOYD'S.

The Friends, Hudson, from Quebec to Bridgewater, was upset during a hurricane on the 4th inst., in lat. 48. long. 41.; two of the crew drowned. The Fidelity, from the Cape of Good Hope, has arrived off the Wight. WESTMINSTER SESSIONS-(THIS DAY.) Joseph liennell, a child only eleven years of age, was indicted for stealing a waistcoat from the shop of Mr. George Itavener, a pawnbroker, in Tothill-street. The article in question was hanging outside the prosecutor's shop door for sale, and the prisoner watching au opportunity ran off with it. As soon as it was missed information was given to Timbrill, an officer, who keeps a sale shop in the neighbourhood, to whom it happened that the prisoner shortly afterwards offered it for sale. He was then detained. The father of the prisoner, a very decent looking man, said this was his son's first offence, the prisoner's mother was dead, and he (the father) and his only other child were attacked with fever, so that at the period of the robbery there was no one to take care of him, and it was probable that his b e in g th us expose d to the world without protection impelled him to commit this offence. The CHAIRMAN said he Was very sorry for the prisoner's family, but the property of the public must be protected. ' Theiprisoner was found Guilty, and, in consideration of the circumstances stated by his father, the Court only sentenced him to one month's imprisonment, and to be whipped privately. Margaret Johnson, a nymph of the pave, was indicted for stealing a snuff:.bo , c from the person of a young man named Edward Fanning, who had been induced to accompany her to a house of ill fame. She was found Guilty, and sentenced to three months' hard labour. _ Mary Price was convicted for keeping a brothel in Little Dean-street, Soho, and ordered to be imprisoned until the ad journment day, and then brought up for judgment. THE MARKETS -(THIS DAY.) COVENT-GAR IEN MARKET. There was a good supply at th's morning's market, but the trade, excepting in luxuries, was dull.

Quebec Papers to the 24th of May have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house, but they are void of interest. We have information from Warsaw, in the Dutch Papers, to the 15th instant, w hi c h s t a t e th a t th e proposed chan g e in the Government will not take place at present, having been rejected by the small majority of four. It was regretted that the plan of General Skryznecki had not been adopted,:as well:as that the re newal to negociate had been put off. A letter from Rome states that the conduct of the English Plenipotentiary there appears to be more frank and noble than those of the other diplomatists. He speaks with energy and firm ness. The Pope and the Cardinals appear to fear him, and pay him more respect than even the Ambassador of France. THE FUNDS. - The order of the day, and general topic of conversation this morning is the debate in both of the Houses of Parliament last night; the Earl of Grey's speech, in regard to the situation of Europe, is chiefly animadverted upon, and construed in various ways on the Stock Exchange, each party according to their spe culations ; at present it has not had much effect on the Funds. Consols, which left off yesterday at 82% )i for the Account, opened at 82% %, and continue at the latter price, with little doing. We understand that Don Pedro, who is going to reside in this country, has about 7,0001. a year, which he has brought with him, he has left behind him a large property in the Funds" at Rio, with 2,000 slaves; it is also stated, that he has written a letter to his Majesty, thanking him for the kind attention that his daughter experienced, and that he is still determined to sacrifice every thing to put his daughter on the Throne of Portugal. In the Foreign Market nothing doing. HALF-PAST ONE. Up to the present hour we have neither reports nor any poll tical information ; all the steamers having arrived we must now wait until Monday for further information from the Theatre of War, and it is to be hoped that the Generalissimo of the brave Poles will second the operations of the Lithuanians, and not suffer the Russians to crush them with an overwhelming force. The report yesterday that Prince Leopold had refused the Crown of Belgium is not correct ; the well-informed are of a decided opinion that it will not be long before he will be on the throne of that country. Consols have remained steady during the morning at d 2%%, for:ltccount little or nothing doing. We hear that an express has arrived from Paris The Foreign Market is in the same state of stagnation as that of the British Market. Consols, 8,2 i THREE 0' CL 0 CK. BIRTHS.
