kill Was the institution of the Yuri. The actual nuns ter of the National Guards was twice as great as it was is 1814 and 1816,. and at these periods the Coul'eils °f Discipline were so overcharged with husinees that they Wert compelled to set aside without • investigation many disputed matters. The Hon. Member afterwards pro teeded to examine the system by which the partisatia of the fallen dynasty endeavoured to urge France into a war. frank and firm declaration, he said, upon this subject Wu absolutely necessary, and he was sure that in pronounc ing one, he should not he contradicted by his Hon. friends. In their name, therefore, he denounced as a po sitive crime every attempt to lead the country into a war. It had beau said that the party to which he alluded were urgiag France into a war, and would render it inevitable, by their publications in the journals, and their speeches in the Chamber. But the Hon. Deputy, reasoning by com parison, thought that this was not the case. Supposing that the journals printed at Vienna or Sr. Petershurgh were to say unpleasant things, and allow themselves to attack the Government of the King whom France had chosen for herself, they could not on that account be Mewled of wishing to excite hostilities. It had been said that speeches of Hun . Deputies, uttered in that Chamber, led resounded throughout Europe, and caused Sovereigns to. 'nimble on their thrones. He would answer this also by an hypothesis : Suppose that the Grand Seignor , or the Cur, addressing thew subjects—the first by a firman aid the second by an ultsse,—it was quite certain that their language would convey the principles f divine right and absolute power. Would it follow that their words were equivalent to a declaration of war? It would be the same in France when, confortnahly to the Principles of the existing Government, it might he de dazed in that Chamber that under a tyrannical Govern bent insurrection was the most sacred of duties, and under tflovernment that was truly Constitutional obedience to the laws was the most sacred of duties. Surely, said M. &Overt., a manifestation of these principles, which form the very basis of the Constitution, is far from being a lattnace to any throne. In the present state of Europe, let the sentiments of a learned jurisconsult and profound Politician be loudly repeated—' Let every man be master within his own domains.' If the doctrines quoted should be made a pretext by any power to attack France, she teeuld have a well-organised army to meet the attack ; she Mould have the whole of her sons in arms by virtue of the law now under discussion; in favour of which he (the Ron. Member) would vote. " M. Bliss de Bourdon strongly opposed the law, and Dore particularly that p.trt of it which related to the Moveable Guards. "M. de Tracy said, it had been suggested that the kitting of the population would create alarm in certain parts of France, but from whence this apprehension could bare arisen, he bad been unable to discover. On the con trary, he conceived the difficulty was in restraining the kdour of the people. Should foreigners, gentlemen,' ridded the Hon. Member, 'dare to attack us, in an instant editions of Free, hmen would fly to the frontiers, and teach them to repent bitterly of their misconception of the pa triotism that animates the bosoms of every class of our tel thk-countrymen.—(Cheere.) The last speaker considered the system of the moveable guards as an oppression, but I la the contrary reply that, in case of invasion, it would illstead of a burden be an honour. Never, under any cir *matinees, was a law propeeed more satisfactory to the Whole nation than that now under discussion.' "M. °Won pointed out various objectionable points in the law. He particularly noticed the councils for taking the census which were appointed to settle the rolls of the Infra companies, and arrange the expenses of the service, lid sonceived they were inadequate to ditties so varied tad extensive. The composition of these councils, which Were to consist of 30 citizens, would also be an obstacle. After a very detailed examination of the articles of the Project, and of the amendments made by the committee, Which he found to be nearly as imperfect as the original Wicks, he declared that he could not vote in fdvour of the thef until all the ditTerent amendments proposed in the %ember had been adopted. M. Maryellen then proposed that the numerous li nandmentd brought forward (they were upwards of 120) should be referred to the Committee, which, after a short Ind desultory debate, was adopted.-Adjourned.

Though the country is nobly doing its duty, though from one extremity to the other, from the close borough of Cornwall, to the still closer boroughs of Westmorland and Scotland, a cry long —loud--and uninterrupted is raised up in favour of Reform, yet it cannot be denied that there are many individuals of considerable influence in their respective neighbourhoods, who are strongly opposed tia the agitation of this mighty question, under the idea, that so far from assisting, it will, at the present crisis, only tend to embarrass Government. We must confess we cannot understand this squeamish ness. It is at variance with the temper of the age, and injurious to the cause it professes to serve. if ever there was a time when the utmost determina tion and unanimity on the part of the people, were requisite, the present is that time. The enemies of Reform—of retrenchment—of the best interests of the country have but just quitted the helm : they are naturally exasperated with their defeat, though for a time they may keep up a show of moderation ; and will as naturally make every exertion, and put in practice every manoeuvre, to ensure them a re turn to office. Just as naturally will the Boroughmongers join them; and thus we shwll hive a new Holy Alliance, combining together heart and hand to depose the present Ministry. What then have these last to trust i ti o, but the sup port of the people, and how is this support to be obtained, if one district, at the instigation of a few influential, but timorous individuals, hangs back ; an. other refuses assistance; a third declares in favour of delay. The . very word ". . delay" is- ominous at the piesent erisis. It implies that Reform is not impe rative, and that its discussion may be postponed with advantage. Once for all, we protest against such tame, lethargic, and injurious conduct. Day after day—week after week—month after month—the grand paramount question should be the subject of agitation among all classes. Is it a season for delay when the country, from one end to the other, is an lEtna of volcanic mutter—when the labourers, the operative., and even the farmers, and the smaller manufacture's, are all equally discontented, and all equally bent on having justice done them—when fires are blazing in upwards of sixteen counties— when millions of the public money are swallowed up in places and pensions—when the tithe system isnt its last extremity—and the Constitution itself is in jeopardy? Is it—we repeat the question—a time for delay, when the spirit of wholesale limo vation'is every where abroad—when the signs of the times are developing themselves with unparal leled rapidity—when in Suffolk the farmers refuse to . be sworn in as special constables, and in Kent to be enrolled among the yeomanry—when at Preston a stranger, with no claims to support but the ex treme energy of his hatred to all aristocratical in fluence, is enabled not only to beard, but (as we anticipate) even to overthrow the most powerful family in the county ? Above all, is this the proper season to delay the discussion of Reform, when the ballot, though, as a great public question, it has ' been known only within the last few months to the people, has spread among them with the swiftness of wildfire, is now uppermost in their minds, _and is even sanctioned by some of the Ministers themselves? We have no pa tience with such absurd, unpardonable lethargy. If the country really desires Reform, it must itself put its shoulder to the wheel, and come forth. to a man, to demand it. Half measures will never do . The time is gone for dallying with the question. Agitation—daily, weekly, constitutional agitation —this henceforth must be the order of the day. Government has much to contend against. It has falseifriends and open enemies, equally leagued to its destruction ; and if the people do not now come publicly, resolutely, and, above all, una nimously forward in its support, they will have only themselves to blame. We have been led to these remarks by some olpiervations which fell from Sir V. Barrie r, yesterday at the Hackney, and from a Dr. QUARRIEIt last week at the Portsmouth, Reform meeting. Both these gentlemen, though sincere friends to the great question, deprecated its discussion at the present crisis, on the plea that it might tend to embarrass Government. For the opinions on most subjects of the Hon. Baronet we profess the highest respect. He has been for years the sincere, consistent, un flinching friend of the people; we regret, therefore, that, on this particular occasion, his usual sagacity has for-aken him. It is with satisfaction we perceive, that at the Reform meeting held yesterday at Hackney, the proposal for the election by ballot vu received with enthusiastic acclamations. Let it never be forgotten that it was the vote by ballot which over• threw the POLIGNAC Administration I By the Prussian Stale Gazette we learn, that the insurrection in Poland has induced the King of PRIAM to take various military measures in the frontier provineeg. leis MAMEfir bag also ordered an addition to be made to the whole of the fifth Corps of the Army in Posen, as well as to ' part of the first, second, and sixth corps, in East and West Prussia, Pomerania, and Silesia. The same Journal states, that the Polish insur rection is extending itself, and that the whole male population of the present kingdom of Poland is called to arms. The conspiracy seems to have been some time in progress, and only waited a favourable opportunity of developing itself. It must already have scared what few wits belong to the Grand Duke CONSTANTINE, or he would never have condescended to announce to the Poles that he would recommend to the EMPEROR to forget and forgive all that had taken place. BRRLIN, DEC. 7.—Tho lamentable events in the king dom of Poland have induced his Majesty the King to tyke various military measures in the frontier provinces, which are intended as well to prevent any disturbances from being attempted by evil-disposed persons in the in terior, as to defend the inhabitants from being invaJed by bands of rebels. His Majesty has accordingly ordered an addition to be made to the whole of the fifth corps of the army in Posen, &c., and also to the part of the first, second, and sixth corps in Etat and West Prussia, Pome rania, and Silesia, and has given to the respective Generals commanding them the necessary full powers and in structions. FROH THE POLISH F&ONTIERS, DEC. 4.—Respect ing the events at Warsaw since the 30th of last month, of which we had no details but what are to be found in the Journals of that city, we have learnt subsequently only a few fragments. According to the,e several attempts are said, indeed, to have been made to wards an approximation between his Imperial Highness the Grand Duke Constantine, and the new Council of Administration„ .but hitherto in vain, though it is an nounced, at the same time, that on the 2d, in the evening, four Members of the Council repaired to the bead quarters of his Imperial Highness. Yesterday the following printed hand-bill was circulated iu Warsaw : I. His Imperial Highness gives his assurance that it has not been his intention to attack the city with the troops under his command; should hostilities re• commence, 48 hours' previous notice must be given. 2. His Imperial Highm ss will recommend to his Ma jesty, the Emperor, graciously to forget what has passed. 8. His Imperial Highness gives his assurance that he has not given any orders to the Lithuanian corps to enter the kingdom of Poland. 4. The prisoners shall be set at liberty. The Polish Yager Regiment of the Guards, some de tachments of Polish, infantry, and several pieces of cannon, which had had hitherto remained with the Grand Duke Constantine, have already returned to Warsaw. Meantime his Imperial Highness is said to have com menced his march yesterday, at eleven o'clock, at the head of the Russian troops, by way of Gore to Brazese litewski. Public security has been restored in Warsaw by the National Guard, and sentinels have been placed before the houses of the three Consuls residing there for their protection. P.S. We have just learnt that the spirit of rebellion yesterday manifested itself in Kalisek also. The Cossacks on the frontier are said to have been disarmed, and the Governor of the town arrested. It is added that a con sidel able number of Polish noblemen have unexpectedly arrived there. Commercial letters from Warsaw, which have been re ceived at Berlin, announce further, that on the 4th of this month the greatest tranquillity apparently prevailed in War saw. The transactions of the Bank had returned to their usual course, and the Bank notes were paid as before. The divisions of Polish troops dismissed by the Grand Duke Constantine, publicly took the oath of fide lity, and the whole male population of the present kingdom of Poland, including however that belonging to the provinces formerly incorporated with Russis, from the age of lb to 45, is called to arms. General Clopieki has received the chief command of the arm), with unlimited powers. Another change has taken place in the compo sition of the Council of Administration, but Count Adam Czartoryski still remains at the head of it. BERLIN, Dec. 7.—FyNns. St. Schuld Sch. 4 per cent.

Ilzaratr, Dec. 4.—The news of the Polish insurrec tion at Warsaw, which arrived here yesterday, but was not generally known till 'to-day, naturally caused the greatest consternation. As far as we yet know the plot was secretly prepared, and then carried into effect, by a number of young Poles, who are educated in a military school, and consequently have a military organization._. The insurgents hastened to the Palace, and murdered the Russian sentinels. At the name time they called the citizens to arms: thearsenal was stormed, and all hastened to combat the Russian and some Polish troops, at whose head the Grand Duke Constantine retired lighting. The Grand Duke is said to have incurred the greatest personal danger ; several Russian Generals were killed. Most of the Polish troops bad already joined the rebels.-- Further accounts are expected with impatience. The necessary military instructions far occupying our Po. lists frontier were immediately sent frotn There is no positive reason to suppose that the in. surrection may spread into our Polish provinces...— The Russian Field Marshal Count Diebitsch, whose de parture has hitherto been delayed, leaves us this evening, as he . will find the Russian tioopr, which were offered to our Court as auxiliaries in a certain case, already assembled. The insurrection will probably be quelled before three weeks are passed. In this view we may look forward with tranquillity, but how much mischief, destruction, and confusion is inevitable upon such events.

Coghen has given, or is going to give, in his resignation as Cottunii stoner-General of the Finances, and that he will be suc ceeded by M. Morel. It is also said that M. Goblet, Commi , sioner of the War Department, will also retire, retaining the management of that part which relates to the organization of the artillery. M. Goethels is men tioned as his successor. The loss of M. Goblet will be severely felt by this department. It is reported that there havo been more engagements on the frontiers with the Dutch, but they have been mere skirmishes between the outposts. The new. received,— we will not say from the army, for we have none, but from our brigades of volunteers,—say that it has become impossible to check the ardour of these brave men, who desire only to attack the enemy; while they are conquering from an enemy five times more numerous the province of North Brabant, and perhaps a part of Gilderland, it is probable that our battalions of troops of the line will con tinue their military promenades in our cities, or their parades in the court-yards of their barracks. Thus, be cause the members of the Provisional Government are afraid—and their fear makes them imagine that the pre sence of our troops is necessary in the cities—our brave volunteers are to be left alone engaged with an enemy superior in number, and prevented from undertaking any military operation of importance. We do not know how the civic guard is organized in other towns, but here it is stronger than is necessary to preserve order, tranquillity, and respect to the laws; yet at Brussels there are several thousand troops of the line. process, and the barb* of technical objections from coun sel. The trial will last about ten days ; but no candles will be lighted, or crowds of any kind allowed to congregate in the streets, after nightfall.

A yr.

The play describes the eventfUl end unhappy eifeefot a tio - be.e, mien Nob le, from his youth to his grate. Preud, impetuoesn' passionate, and indiscreet, but hofloura* and intelligent.. The young Patrician, whose evil always gets the. bettee•or good genius, plunges into all the excesses of vice, until he draws it oWII disgrace upon his name, and is banished from his father's heart and home. In his wanderings he meets, at Hamburg, a poor Italian Noble, who is compelled to labour fur his subsist ence, whose daughter, Josepaine, a moot amiable and beautiful girl, he marries. By her Werner is reclaimed, and becomes the father of a son, Vlrk or Conrad, who is, when a youth, received by his grandfather as the future heir of his domains. Thus de prived of his son, reduced to penury banished from his horse, andperpetually encompassed by the spies of a rich and noble re. lative, who hopes to become heir to the old Count, the impe. mous nature of Werner is tortured into misery. At length, after his twentieth year of exile, his father dies, believing him more depraved than ever, and leaving him his curse. In the hopes of recovering his patrimony, he undertakes a journey towards home. He arrives, together with his faithful J ose phi ne , at a poor village on the banks of the Oder, where he falls sick, and rs reduced to absolute beggary. Tram this point the tragedy takes up the tale. His noble relative arrives at the same place, and is preserved from drowning in the flooded Oiler by two strangers, one of whom turns out to be the son of Werner, who had, before his grandfather's death, fled from him, ostensibly to seek out his parents. In this village Werner is tempted by his wretchedness, and by opportunity to commit the theft o f a ro . leap of gold from the chamber o f the Bares, which not only adds rhebittereat sting of conscious degradation of his self.upbraid. Inas, but deprives him of the esteem of his, son, at the very mo.. merit that a recognition takes place between them. The suspi. coon of this offence falls on the Hungarian companion of Ulric, who, however,makes his escape at the sane time that the Baron is murdered in his bed. Werner, horror struck at this crime, which is announced to him by his son, hastens from the village and eventually recovers his rank and property. A year now in. tervenes in the progress of the action of the piece; atter which time we find It a Noble of the highest order, but still happy, through fear, that the tragical end of his relative should transpire, and throw a horrible, but unjust suspicion of mur der on hint and his son. Ulric also, although in person end ac complishments the flower of Bohemian Nobility, is cold in his disposition towards him, and is engaged in mysterious courses, w a l :e t ro i ir n e at ! , iela4 b r, t r pt e iht, a , eeaklsir s ti l os l hnes e co o ecn n om fi wn d ola e mrs l e l it ec ),edi nrh ouerns between ctiheer:ilee er h i o rt i_ ckiitha te l ly : nitsai le ngth d:. s a nodr arrownhe rfei and ag est lso of Silesia.

(recta owe 03114011r01413SSITs) diIiXAMOSI, Into. is. This county tuts been in a state of eoutporative tran. Trinity the past week. In some parishes the labourers have struck for as increase of wage', bit No disturbance of the peace has taken place. The Incendiaries appear slimier be abandoning their evil ways, for only two at. tempts have been made to set fire to ecru-stark, and both of them proved abortive. Indeed, outrages of this de. saription censure now be committed with such facility, as great prutectien is derived from the system of night watch. ing generally adopted in the isouty. The measure is corn. plained of SO burthensome to :he farmers, and I agree with net of your correspondents, that some pecuniary assistance should be reentered by the fire offices. In some of the Adjoining Counties the destruction of farming preperty still continues, At Polstead, in Suffolk, bowie stacks of corn and farming buildings belonging to Sir Henry Peyton were burnt on Monday night, and a similar uceurrenca took place the same night at Bishop Seortford, on the premises helongiog to Mr. Taylor. Chieksunds, in Bed fordshire, and other places in the neighbourhood, have oleo been visited by fires this lost week. Lord Winchilsen Labour hate Aet is the subject of general conversation with the farmer*, to cone of whom it appears to give satisfactior. They say the compulsory etnpluyrnent of Mawr can have uu other effect than tea deprive them of the means of meeting other demands, and that as the outgoing* of lat..oor increase, the claims of the landlord and tithe otra'a• must be diminished. There is no doubt, much tit is the observation, for it cannot he the interest of the farmer to allow labourers to remain idle, if ha can employ them with advantage to himself. Another objection to the Act is, that it makes no prori. sion whatever fur the employmitot of them labourer, who are thrown on the rate, nor for the relief of 'deb small Farmers as are compelled to perfcrnt their own labour. There are matters of great importance. The valuable living of Withsch, ..,preserl to be worth from 2,0001. to t,6001. per enttum, is just ',event by the death of the [lrv.

Sra,—Your **Millet Paper having so willingly lent its columns to the completes* of the people, I hope you will not consider a warm admirer of your principles ask ing too much, in requesting the insertion of this letter, as I question much if there is a WWII in the kingdom which has generally a greater claim "on the powers that he," than the inhabitants of Devonport. In your Paper of Wednesday last, in giving a list of towns needing re presentation, from their population SIVA ilUpOrtilllCS, this plate was not noticed. 1 believe you will lied that De. import is the largest unrepresented town or population in England, except Manchester, Leeds, Sheffield, and Bir. minghern : indeed, we are peculiarly situated, and can scarcely be said to be represented, even by the County Members, being all leaseholders, and consequently nut entitled to vote—which, considering our immense impor. Sauce, as a great naval *Meal, with a population of nearly 50,000 souls, entitle* us, I think, to rank next to the towns before named. It would be, Mr. Editor, most advantageous to tis in another respect—for, Should the Legialiture permit us to be represented, it would afro most likely give us a Borough Charter, melting us a Cor., pirate Body, giving . us a Mayor and J ust i ce* , f or the conduct of .
