To deserve cr e dit, t h e surrender of it should have been both vulunta, y and early. Bis dal, qui dat cito. Mr. HUGHES HUGHES denied that this Bill was either a fraud or a delomon on the people of England.— He had wished to ascertain the feelings of his constituents on it, and he had in consequence spent three days out of the lot ten in calling upon his constituents in Oxford.— He had c. fled in that time upon more than a thousand of them personally, and he would undertake to say that no* 50 individuals out of that number disapproved of the inciple, or even of the details of the measure.—(Hear.) He had seen some of their children playing about, in whom the right of voting was only inchowe.—(Hear, from Sir C. Wetherell.)—The circumstance of their chil dren being deprived of that franchise which they them selves enjoyed, was the only objection which any of his constituents had urged to the measure—(Hear, hear,) —but they had unanimously agreed to wave that objec tion rather than endanger the success of a Bill which was calculated to confer so much benefit upon the country._ (Loud cries of Hear, from the Alinisterial benches,)— Now the rights of the children of freemen were secured by one of the late amendments ititn , ductd into the Bill, and therefore he was certain that his constituents would not have the slightest objection to the Bill as it now stood. Sir C.WETHERELL asserted, that from his long con nexion with the University and city of Oxford, he had as extensive a knowledge of the feelings of the inhabitants of Oxford as the Hon. Member who now represented them and he would take upon himself to deny the assertion that the constituency of the city of Oxford, whose representa tive he had been, and to whom lie still was strondy at tached, were favourelde to this measure of Reform. As a proof of his opinion, he would only state that iu the Com mon Council of that town, which consisted of sixty . per sons, a petition in favour of Reform had only been carried by the citing vote of the Mayor. He contended that nine out of ten persons in Oxford had neither lead nor under stood the details of the Bill.—(Hear.) Mr. TENNYSON was sure that the citizens of Oxford understood that this Bill would destroy fifty-five rotten bo rouglie—(Hear)—that after it was passed Boroughbridge would cease to exist—( Hear, and a laugh)—and that when it ceased to exist, his Hon. and Learned Friend opposite would be compelled to go back to the electors of Oxford or of some other populous borough.—(Hear.) Me must say that he should like to s e how his Hon.and Learned Friend would be received by his quondam constituents of Oxford, when he went back to them after his present declaration, that they neither knew nor understood any thing about the present Bill. Mr. HUGHES HUGHES wished to say a few words in explanation. He contended that he was justified in declining that there was almost an unanimity of opinion in favour of this Bill among his constituents at Oxford. 2,14.5 of his constituents had signed a petition in favour Of 'Reform, which had been agreed to at a public meeting at Oxford, at which more than 1,000 persons were pie !tent, and at which there had been only one dissentient present. At a subsequent pedal, the Chamber of the Corporation had met, and had wished to get up an anti reform petition. The promoters of that petition had been defeated, however, by a majority of one. There were thirty persons for that anti-reform petition, and thirty one against it. Those thirty persons framed pert of the fifty dissentients to whom he had alluded in his former speech. As the Hen. and Learned Member for Byronghbridge steemed inclined to disbelieve the statement which be had given of the feelings of his censtitueute on this Bill, he only wished that the Hon. and Learned Member would meet hint on the hustings at Oxford, to ree whether his constituents would not verify it.—(Hear, and a laugh.) Sir C. WETHERELL repeated the assertion which he had made on a former occasion, that the petition which the. Hon. Member for Oxford had presented had come from persons who did not understand tie Reform Bill. The petition was ordered to he printed. Sir C. WETHERELL presented a petition from Glou cester against the Reform Bill. Colonel WEBB (we believe) observed, that as he had the honour of being one of the Members for tl , e city of Gloucester, he must be permitted to say a few words upon this petition. During the last fortnight he had visited hie constituents, and he could say of his own knowledge, that a great majority of them were in favour of this Bill. Sr C. WETHERELL presented a petition against the Bill trom the Common Council of Norwich. Mr. HUNT said that he 'had never asserted tint•no credit should he given to the noblemen and gentry who had surrendered their borough patronage. All that he bad said wits, that he should have given thym greater credit had they surrendered it before this Bill wits introduced, which would Compel them to part with it. He should give them still more credit, if they would give up the bo rough influence which they still retained, as, for irmauce, the boroughs - of Caine and Molten.—(Hear, from Sir C. Wetherell anti Colonel S hthorpe.) Mr. S. RICE said, that if the noble personages to whom the Hon. Member for Preston alluded had given up their boroughs betitre the present time, they would have defeated the object which they lied in view equally with the people of England. They acted no less wisely than patriotically, in giving up their borough infleence as part of a general measure ; beat till that general measure was carried, they ought to bold it and to use it as trustees •for the public, and for the public benefit.—(Hear.) After a few words from Sir C. FORBES, the petitions were ordered to be printed, as was a similar petition pre sented by Sir C. WETHERELL from Borouglibrldge, pray ing that the Reform Bill might not pass into a law, and that they might be heard against it by counsel. Mr. WYSE presCnted a petition from the inhab i tants of Cradle!, in fevour of the Reform Bid. The Reform Bill was most popular in Ireland. He trusted that his Ma-, jesty's Ministers would, by dissolving the Parliament; ap peal to the people, and he would answer far it that the result t.f that appeal to the people ol Irelend would be fa vourable to the measures of Reform which had been brought leeward by Gevernment. Mr. SHEIL supported the prayer of the petition. Not having had an opportunity of addressing the House last night, he wish. d to take that occasion to state, that if the Reform Bill passed, it would be most sitiefictory to the people of Ireland, and that one effect of it would be to allay the feeling which existed there at present in favour of a repeal of the Union. He concurred with those who thought that Ireland was fairly entitled to an additional number of reprueentativee. The two countries now formed an united kingdom, and Ireland should be treate,! like Yorkshire or any other component part of this country Mr. M. FITZGERALD justified the vote which he gave last night for the amendment moved by the Gallant Member for Liverpool, on the ground that lie was anxious to retain as many Members as they hid at present for Eng land. At the same time he would be as anxious as any titan to give such additional Members to Ireland as she was entitled to. Mr. S. RlCE.said, that the effect of the vote which had been given by his Right lion. Friend last night for the instruction, must be to prevent Ireland from getting additional re!.resentatives. Mr. O'BRIEN said, in reference to the vote which he hal given against the amendment, that if he had been the bitterest opponent of Ministers, he would yet, as an Irishman, have opposed that resolution, the effect of which would be to prevent Ireland from getting those additional Members which Ministers had proposed to give to that country. Mr. WYSE presented a similar petition from the palish of Aughagower, in the county of Mayo. Mr. SCHONSWAR presented a petition from the Mayor, Aldermen, Burgesses, and Freemen of Hull, against the clause in the Reform Bill for disfranchising freemen. The same HON. MEMBER, presented a petition from the owners of steam-vessels in the Humber, against the pro posed tax on stelm-vessels. Mr. BAINBRIDGE presented a petition from the in. habitants of the parish of St. Janie.,'s, in Bath, praying fur an extension of the elective franchise to them. Lortl STRATHAVEN presented a petition in favour of the Reform Bill from the county of liuntingdon. His Lordship stated that the petition had I.een adopted at a most numerous and respectable me-ting of the county. Mr. O'BRIEN presented a petition from Larne, in the county of Antrim, in favour the introduction of a wet regulanal system of poor-laws into Ireland ; and also a pe tition from the parish of Lough Dergh, for some pro vision for illegitimate children, Mr. JEPHSON presented a petition from the parish Whitechurch, in the county of Cork, in favour of the Re fortn Bill. Mr. LABOUCHERE presented a petition from Aberyst with, in favour of Reform. Mr. LITTLETON presented a petition, numerously signed by the workmen of Westbromwich and the neigh bouring parishes, in the county of Stafford, in favour of the Reform Bill. As the petition was very short, he begged that it might be read by the Clerk of the House. The petition being read, Mr. HUNT, in refutation of the petition,.declared that be had nevLr said that the working classes of Staffordshire were avers, to Reform : all he had said was, that those whom he bad addressed disapproved of the Bill brought in by Ministers. Mr. LITTLETON said, that the petition adverted to the report of what the Hon. Member for Preston bad said in that Irise, and the petitioners unanimously denied that they disapproved of the Bill. The SPEAKER said, that if the Hon. Member stated that the petition adverted to any V , inz that had taken place in that House, it could not. be Eta , ived, and it must he withdrawn. Mr. LITTLETON had not meant to stdte a Let, he hail only uttered his individual opinion. Sir C. WETHERELL thouebt that the retiiion had been got up to craitradiet a statement which hdd b en made in that House by one of its Members, and it there 'Ow ought to he rcj 'cted. Mr. S. RICE thought that there tv.s nothing in the petition to warrant a conclusion that it referred to what lad been slid in Parliament, for the matter to which the p. tition alluded had appeared in various publications, as s'atements made out of doors. The SPEAKER observed, that his ottjection was founded upon what had been stated by the , Hon. Member who had presented the petition, anti not upon the contents of the p-tition Mr. HUNT deeared that the 'petition Lad been got up in London, and the Hon. Member who had presented it had only insinuated that it alluded to him, fitr the Hon. Member would not . charge him with having uteri(' a falsehood in respect to the seotimenis of the working classes, for learnt - the personal consequences. The SPEAKER called the Member for Preston to order. He begged to remind the House that the Ittn. Member for Staffordshire had not construed the petition to allude to the Hon. Member for Preston, it was the latter gentleman that had applied the contents of the peti tion to himself. Mr. HUNT said that the Hon. Member for Staff,rd shite had come to him and had told him that he had re ceived tl.e petition, and that it con'radicted what he (Mr. Hunt) had asserted respecting the hostility of the working classes to the Reform BM. He treated the petition as altogether fraudulent. Mr. LITTLETON said, that there never was a more ground'ess statement, and the Hon. Member for Preston well kneW that there was not the shadow of a foundttion fur his a•ta rtion that this petition was fraudulent. The petition was written in the country, and he had received front every part of the country assurances of the indignas• tion with which the ... people had heard of the Hon. Member for Preston's assertion that they were hosile to the Reform Bill. After a few words from Sir C. WF.THERELL and Sir C. Fon uns,the petition was received, and ordered to be printed. Mr. MAXWELL presented three petitions aga'nst Re form, from Mount Leinster, in Carlow, and from the pa rishes of St. Mary and Kihush, in the county of Wexford. Mr. HUNT presented a petition in favour of Reform, from Brasted. in Kent. Mr. HUME presented seventeen petitions from different places in England and Scotland, in favour of Reform. Among the petitions the Hon. Member said there was °tie from Shaftesbury, awl the petitioners set forth, that al though they were to be deprived of one of their Memb =rs, they nevet theless were favourable to the Refor:n Bill, being convinced that it would prove of the utmost benefit to the community ,tt large. At Half-past Tim the House adjourned. SIR. ROBERT WILSON. We hope soon to.be freed from the necessity of men tioning the name of au individual, to whom circumstances, a restless activi , y, and love of nitoriety, have elevated tp a degree of consequence which his judgment at:d talents never would have obtained for him, and who, from his want of steadiness, has enjoyed, perhaii , ., less of the con • &knee of distinguished individuals than any public cha racter of our times. We were by no means deluded by his dec!aration on Tuesday night, that " the moment he heard the propositions of his Noble Friend, he determined rather to relinquish his seat in that House, than give his support to that part of the Reform Bill (relating to the diminution of Members). For he had been sent ii.to that House as a reformer, and he would not appear to his constituents an enemy to Reftrin, by withholding his sup port front the Reform proposed by the Government with which he was associated on the general principles of their administration, and on the general question - of Re form He was prepared to surrender to Lis constituents the trust which they hail committed to him, if they disapproved of his conduct and withdrew their confidence." If the withdrawal of the confidence of Lis constituents were all, we were sure that Sir Robert Wilson would not temain a (lay louger Member of South wark; but Sir Robert must not always he taken at his word. A deputation of several of the most respectable of his constituents waited on hiM )esterday, with the follow ing document, signed by a number- of the first names in the Borough 1— We, the undersigned electors of the Borough of Southwark, begrminibrin )ou they arc utterly .at a loss to conceive the motive of your vote in support of General Gascoyne's motion of last night, it being so directly contrary to the pledges given to us on the hustings, and renewed at the last Town-hall meeting, where you must have been aware the electors were unanimoiam support of his Majesty's Ministers.

Sir Robert, however, did not appear to relish the invitation to resign. He said the cad on him was premature—that his speech had nut been correctly reported in any of the newspapers—that there) was a con sp,r of the Papers to misreme,ent him—and that be wishe_i thin to suspend their judgment respecting his con duct till Friday, when they should see a Report of his speech, corrected by himself, in the Mirror of Parlia ment. One of the gentlemen of tee deputation asked Sir Roheit whether Mr. Stanley's speech was also misrepre sented in the newspapers, because Mr. Stanley appeared to understand his (Sir Robert's) speech exactly in the sense in which it was understood by his constituents? To this posing question no answer was given. The deputa• tion wished him to look at the names to the paptr, and said they thought a resignation without more ado would come with more grace from him than a resignation-after further steps. Sir Robert said that he would circulate 1,000 copies of his speech, corrected by 'himself ; and he repeated that every statement he had made was garbled and wilfully misrepresented. He cool I not attend to nor • invitation to give up his seat which did not proceed from a public meeting. The deputation assured hitn that a meeting would be called, with a view to obtain the object they had in view, without delay, and that they were quite sure theme were not ten persons in the borough who would not agree with them. The following Requisition has, we understand, been nu merously signed, and was forwarded last evening to the High Bailiff of Southwark.

Slltt—From the manner in which the Scottish Members of Par liament speak of the feelings of Scotland on the Reform Bills lately introduced by his Majesty's Government, a stranger might he led to suppose this country was hostile to any political refor mation whatever. While these assertions were broached by men of no note or name, it was unnecessary, perhaps, to contradict them. But when Sir George Murray, whose opinions must al ways have some weight, openly declares the same tiring, it is high time the truth should be known. Ido not say Sir George made such an unwarranted assertion without some grounds, and these were most probably contained in a petition against Reform got up by the county of Perth (or what is more correct the free holders of Perthshire) which he represents, and which is more under the influence of aristocratic burgh-mongers, so to speak, than any other county in Scotland; it is, in fact, the hot-bed of Ultra-Toryism. The Noblemen are all Tories, with one excep tion; and Lord Mansfield, who, in his anti-Reform zeal is now distributing tracts through the country, has extensive influence among the gentry. But this petition of freeholders (! ! ! !), Jus tices of Peace, and Commissioners of Supply, no more expresses the sentiments of the great majority of the respectable and middle classes of Perthshire than it does those of so many Laplanders. The yeomen had nothing to say in it—hundreds of proprietors had nothing to say in it—the inhabitants generally probably never heard of such a petition at all. It represents merely the preju dices of a knot of individuals, who, possessing all the servility Scotch electors in general possess, cannot see those exigencies, and changes in the times which render the present mode of elect ing in this country (originally founded on feudal barbarisms) quite incompatible with her own interests, or even with those of the United Kingdom. I myself am an admirable specimen of a Scottish freeholder. I have votes in thrqe counties—in two I have not even ever had a foot of land, 'or the smallest interest of any kind. My estate lies in the other; but that trivial circumstance does not entitle mete, vote, as a Noble Lord possesses the superiority of the lands, and his Lordship's law agent stands enrolled by virtue of a grant from his employer. So that I, who am proprietor of upwards of 700/. yearly in a Scotch county, would have no voice whatever in the election of a Member of Parliament. To remedy this, and to snake a status in the-county, I purchased the superiority of ano ther proprietor's lands for 10001. Scotland is in fact a rotten burgh—Mr. Hume very properly remarked, as rotten as any in schedule A. in Lord John's Bill, and her representatives being elected by "the chosen few," who have, along with their representatives, long fattened on the public, are naturally anxious to preserve things as they are. But it will not do. The great middle class of the people, whose influ ence is daily increasing, and a majority even of the upper class are for the Bill, the whole Bill, and nothing but the Bilk Let Sir George Murray, Sir George Clerk, Sir William Rae, William Dundas, et hoc genus omne, say what they please. Next to the disfranchisement of the small close burghs, and the opening of the large ones, the present election system in Scotland requires attention from the Legislature. Until there is a Reform here, the counties are just so many rotten burghs. Money may pur. chase them, and the purchaser like the burgh-monger will in re turn prey en the vitals of the State. In England and Ireland the representation is comparatively pure, but will the people of England believe it when I state (and if j'alse it can easily be proved so) that the present representative qf the greatest western county in Scotland has spent, in the course of a few years, more their one hundred thousaud pounds'in buying up superiority ; giving it to his creatures, and thus seating himself down in Parliament as a representative of the people. Nor is this all ; —until some change takes place he will continue to sit there. Nobody has so much superiority, and so many voters, though ins CONSTITUENTS are woefully few. This gentleman's politics are at direct variance with the county, end, had it a voice in tire neuter, he would never have beers their choice. So much for things as they are. The interests of England, Ireland, and Scotland herself, re quire that this system be stopped. If some in the latter have pro fited under it, the twq former have suffered, in the same way as the burgh-mongers prosper at the expense of the nation. But give. Scotland a representation like that proposed by the Bill be. fore Parliament, and I am confident she with England and Ire land, will be infinitely bencfitted, and her people thankful. I am, Sir, your very constant reader, ' A 'REFORMING SCOTCH FREEHOLDER. Glasgow, April IE, 1831. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR, —Oise feeling of surprise and indignation appears to per. vade all classes of society in this city (except the borough_ mongers) oh perusing to.day the speeches of Runt, Forbes, and other anti.teformers. The general interrogation is, front what false sources do the enemies of Reform derive their informa tion respecting the feeling of the people of Scotland on thesub ject ? Who is this lien!, who presumes to assert that the people of Secittanct4trrindit/l , reitt To.Reforna ? Surely, this 1.5.11!_t-thC. bwki ng _inaker—the radie:2l, reforming, democratic. demagogtie Member for Preston - ?-..Phare must be souse other Hunt in the House. If this be the Hunt , it is clear h e h a s b een bou g ht u p by the borouglimongers under the promise of some sinecure place, or profit, if the good and righteous cause should fail—pro. l the promise of an advantageous Government contract for t s r l u m t r is bl a a t c te k m in p g ied N t e o ve b r e m i , m er i e m m se o d re en ba L e l; faced and unfounded untruths credulity of any public assembly respecting the feelings of the people of Scotland than those promulgated by Messrs. Hunt and others. There are not ten men in Scotland who could con . - supplying the armywith scientious ly deny that the feeling in favour of the Bill is gene. ral- - nost g eneral—as mu •h so as any measure can b, generall y approved of that has the support of 99 out of the 100. The country is not to be sure in a blaze, as one person has been pleased to represent it, but it is in a heat of feverish anxiety from John o'Groat's to the Solway, which may break out into a blaze if these feelings are much longer trifled with. The observations of Sir C. Forbes, about the devas'ation of glass in Eklinburgh, and the causes of it, are gross exaggerations and mis-statements. The damage will not amount to 5,0004 in p l ac e of 20,000/. and it would not have amounted to ss. had the c i v ic rulers (the majority of whom are boroughmongers and decided anti-reformers) done their duty, by giving previous notice to the citizens of the intended illumination. Th e votes at county meetings in place of being as has been erroneously alleged a criterion of the feeling of the respectable portion of society in Scctland being against the Bill, is quite the reverse. The average number of freeholders in each county probably does not exceed thirty. The average market price of each vote (that is superiority, which is bought and sold in Scot. land) is probably not less than 1,00')/. To see nearly one-half of this description of freeholders consenting to sacrifice such valuable vested rights for the good of the country, is the strongest proof in the world of the strength and universality of public opinion in this part of the empire' on the subject of Reform. I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, Edinburgh, April 16. A SCOTSMAN. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. IR __The report. of the Minist er i a l declaration on the subject of . S R A„nn, that the Government do not mean to insist for re duction of the Members of the Commons' House as a part of the measure, has spread a general gloom over its well-wishers in th i s quarter. After all the support which the country has vo l u ntecred—after the declarations of the Mini s t ers , b o th i n Parliament and elsewhere, that " the Bill, the whole Bill, and g but the Bill," should be the point on which they would t or fall, this new declaration has come like th e s h noon ' s stand i dly " blast, to wither the hopes of the t ree f r i en d s o f t h e country. R a dicals had been disarmed, univer s al suff rage was g i ven up b y them, and entire satisfaction had been declared by all sects of re formers with the Bill as it had been ushered in. Universal joy had been diffused throughout the land, for of the few Ultra. Tories whose dissatisfaction at not being still fed from the taxes, I take no account. And what is the case now ? Distrust, doubts, and evil forebodings have entered into those minds where, but yesterday, admiration and confidence held full sway. Had the threat'of the immaculate Sir E. Sugden, that he would not give his support to a Bill which diminished the number of Members for England, while it added to the representatives of Scotland and Ireland, any weight in inducing. the Ministers to deviate from the original approved course ? And is it to be said that at this day we are to hear of the distinctions of England, Scotland, and Ireland ? Had the reformers in these two latter divisions of the United Kingdom been as captious as this notable Ex-official, could they not, and with some plausibility, have asked upon the Bill being introduced, why, when a thorough Reform is proposed, and when the principle of population is re cognised in the disfranchisement, why should the same principle not operate in the enfranchisement ? Why should not Ireland have half as many Members as England, and why should not Scot land have one-third or one-fourth as many ? But no—not a word of complaint was heard ; all was satisfaction, and Ireland with her 103, and Scotland with her 50 representatives properly chosen, were contented that England should retain the larger proportion of 445. But this arrangement is now to he abandoned, and the cumbrous number of M.P.'s is to be retained, no one knows why. It must surely be a popr consolation to Ministers to think that they have disarmed a few of their opponents, at the expense of unsettling the faith of their whole adherents and supporters throughout the kingdom. Instead of making pro selytes from the ranks of their enemies, why not, if necessary, recruit from those of their friends ? Why not dissolve, rather than give the factious crew another opportnnity to twit them with vacillation, and remind them of the budget. If the present number of the House of Commons is to be retained, comm on justice demands that a portion at least of the Members proposed to have been dispensed with should be added to Scotland and Ireland. But all conjecture on the subject here is at a stand — confidence is shaken—doubts and apprehensions are afloat—lhe hopes of the Ultras are reviving, and the radicals are reverting to their former demands. I hope all may yet go well ; but I cannot help partaking of the universal opinion here, that more injury is likely to arise from departing, than could have arisen from most rigidly adhering, even to the letter of the 13ill. I am, Edinburgh, April 16. A SCOTCH REFORMER FOLAND. WARSAW, APRIL G.—For some time no move of any apparent consequence had occured in the armies on either side. It is, however, n ces , ary to conduct matters here with the greatest ppssible circumspection, as the in famous system of espion tge, introduced under the late GovernMent, is even yet in activity, although some public executions have taken place, and it was evident that all the movements known in the town were communicated to the Gentrala with the Russian army, much to the prejudice o' the national cause. !ipent The Russian - corps of General Geismar has been in treneheci at the village of Waiver, on the right bank of the Vistula, within half a German mile of Warsaw, 'ince the battle of the 25th of February. Behind him, and• extending to Deral,e Wielki (Great Oak, about three Miles from the capitol,) was post-ti the corps under the Coin :nand of General Rosen. The great part of the Russian army occupies the cour try. to the right of - Miask and Kaluzyn, extending towards the Vistula ar d Pulawy, were they .are in considerable force. The head-quarter of General Diebitsch are in Siennica. The guards have. already entered Poland, and are marching in the direction of Siedlec. The severe losses of the enemy sustaine I in the sangui nary battle of the 25th February had disabled them from making an elf-ctual attack on the entrenchments of Praia, or to cross the Vistula at Pulawy, or any ot'.er points, and more particularly as the treatment they have received from the Polish troops on all occasions since their inva nion has been extremely severe, and has completely dis pirited them. The appearance of.a Polish force strikes snar l with - a panic. The low grounds in which a part of their troops h..ve been encamped are intersected with marshes, and being, in the present season of the year, after the breaking up of the frost, particularly unirealrhy. has produced disease among them : these caus-1; have tended to produce defection among the Russian troops, but the more powerful one is, that a beam of reason be gins to manifest itself even among the benighte I troops of the mighty Autocrat, which circumstance forebodes his speedy downfall in Europe. Every. day parties from twenty to fifty make their way to Warsaw to join the Po lish army, and among them some officers : they state, that if it were not for the Cossacks, who are continually hover ing in front of the line in great numbers, companies and whole regiments would join the Polish cause. In some instances they have in their eagerness attacked the sacks, and brought some of them bound to Warsaw This is an important feature in the present war, and may produce great affects on the future destinies of Europe. The Russians already know the difference between des potism and liberty, and will no longer shed their blood to enslave the human race, and to rivet their own fetters more tightly. The Polish General Dwernicki, with a considerable force, has advanced from Zartiose, not far from the ft on tiers of Voihynia, upon Kock. General Umin.ki moved with his army about a fortnight ago towards Ostrolenka, which place is intrenched by a Russian corps under G.. neral Sacken. The movement of General .Utnitiski is intended to receive the reserve of Russian Guards, which has already entered the country from Lithuania. This description will convey a tolerably correct idea of the relative positions of both armies up to this date, which is pregnant with great events. The toscin is now sound ing loud enough to he heard through the world, inspiring the liberal, the just, seal the free with confidence in the dispensation of an Omnipotent Being to relieve the op pressed, and overwhelming the m ',ions of arbitrary power in an inextricable and unfathomable abyss. lu pursuance of the plan of necessary caution, the Commander-in-Chief detached a corps to Cove, nod r command of General Rybinski, and another towards under General Lubinshi. In the night of the 30th ultimo, all the troops in the town and neighbortr hood were assembled in thtferent stations in the town, and the two Generals, 11)binski and Lubinski received ottleis to join the army by forced marches in the nicht. The bridge at Praga was covered with straw to enable the troops and artillery to cross the Vistula without noise, which was affected. The troops, full of health and vi gour, and still more full of hope, moved slowly to*ards the enemy's lines, and approached them between four and five a. in. en the 31st ult. General Rybiuski, with some squadrons of cavalry, filed off to the right of the road, to take a position in the rear of the enemy. In the mean time a demonstration was made in front of the batteries, to attract the enemy's attention, while a party under, the command of Brigadier-General Ramoriuo (a Frenchman) succeeded in approaching in flank of the batteries unper ceived. This was effected so quietly, that he found for the moment his troops hung back, but on turning round be perceived all was right, the troops were ready, with vigorous arms to steep their bayonets in the blood of their country's invaders. Being ignorant of the Polish lan guage, he threw his cap in the air, and called out e. Vivort les Pokmaisi" Scarcely had -trite words. died tau his tips, when a dreadful charge was made. I - Is cried " To the elution," when the battery was assailed, and in an instant in possession of the brave Pules, who nobly dealt death around to all who opposed then,. Three suc cessive charges were made on the opposite battery, and on the enemy's line, which for a time was obstinately de fended, but nothing could withstand the impetuosity of the Polish troops. In two hours the Russians were dis, lodged from their position with great slaughter, and com pelled to retreat in, the greatest disorder on the high road leading to Minsk. The fugitive Russians flying with precipitation were closely pressed by the Polish troops. On the rood there are some strong positions of which the Russians attempted to take advantage, but each effort made for their defence produced them only more losses. At Dembe Wielki the whole corps of General Rosen was, engaged to check the advance of the Poles. The position•was obstinately defended, and the attack conti nued till night, when the Russians were completely de feated, and their positions occupied by the Polish troops. The Polish Commander-in-Chief occupied the apart ments'of General Rosen, front whence he dated his de spatch, and forwarded it to Warsaw at 10 p.m. saute night. The enemy was pursued to Kaluzyn ; and by the last accounts General Lubinski, with the advanced guard, was war Siedlec, 12 German toils from the capital, still ha rassing the discomfitted enemy on their rout.. In addition to the enemy's loss in killed -and wounded, which has been very considerable, there are already taken about 12,000 prisoners ; among them General Lewan dowski, many staff and other officers, 48 pieces of can non, near 10,000 muskets, 11 standards, a large quan ti.y of ammunition, ammunition waggons, extensive ma gazines in Minsk,' anti several waggons containing private stock of valuables and luxuries belonging to the Generals and superior officers. Numerous parties of the dispersed Russians are issuing from the forest, in which they sought refuge, taking the road to Warsaw. Many immediately joined the victorious Poles, .and are now pursuing their dianmayed countrymen. Most of the prisoners brought to Warsaw are determined to follow time example, and are at this time in motion with the Poles. The two corps of General-: Geismar and Rosen may be c msiderr das annihilated. The Order of Grand Military Commander Ls been conferrtd on General Skrzyuecki, Commander-in-Chief, for the skill and braver ) , evinced in this brilliant victory, effected wlth little loss to the trool's. In his despatch of the 31st, front Dembe, the loss is esti mated at from 200 to 300 in killed and wounded, which is extraordinary, considering the numb,r of killed, wounded, and prisoners on the side of the Russians; but it is in part accounted fur, that the attack was made unexpectedly, and continued the whole day with the greatest impe tuosity. The Commander-io-Chief had not dismounred his horse for 20 Lours, and had, on the Ist instant, a horse slot under him. On the Sd instant (Easter Sunday) Te Delon was performed with gieat solemnity at the Cathedral, attended by great part of the Menthe's ol the Diet, and a salvo ul cannon was fired, accompanied bi the -rejoicings of a grate ful people In whit estimation will the scot hi now hold ynn, Field Marshal Diebitsch Zabalkanski, and your spurious de• -patches of former victories, manufactured to deceive sur rounding nations and to ghts:s over your dun disasters? Will you not now achowledge that your troops were dis mayed, anti in retre.t un the 25th of -February, which ever-memorable battle m ippled your subsequent operation.. What will now be thought of yuttr impious invocations to an all-just God to crown your wicked tfforts with vic tory to oppress the innooent and butcher the feeble? Where are your taunts and gibes, made while levelling over the festive hoard, and your regrets that you ha I not an enemy more deser%ing the prowess of your . warriors?

Alas ! alas blind misguided men ! many are now pri soncrs in Warsaw, where the feast of b!ool was intended to be corisutninated ; many are gone to that brine friim whence no traveller returns," and sonic are I ft to mouth at once over the tombs of their departed comrades and the faded glory of their Impetial Master. To you, General Diebitsch, though late, it may prove a useful lesson.

After the vote of Tuesday night, Ministers had tto longer a choice whether or not Parliament should be dissolved. We knew the course they would pursue. We knew that they would nobly redeem heir Oedges. We have now the satisfaction o f being au:e to announce, that a dissolution has been teee,miveil no, and we can confidently assure our readers that an immediate dissolution may be ,ounted on. We knew that the reports, so jocks riottsly cireolated, of a determination on the part of his i'dejesty not to consent to a dissolution were .without foundation; for the choice of a Ministry who ac c-pted of office only on the condition of being .uuthor;sed to propose Reform, and the approbation of their plal of Reform, necessarily implied appro bation of the constitutional means which might be requisite to give eff,ct to, it ; and therefore, we could not fer a moment en ertain the supposition, so injurious to the reputa . ion for sincerity and-good faith of a Sovereign who bas always been sop posed to possess t base virtues in a very eminent degree, that be would allow his servants to feed the country with • hopes of a Reform which he was yet determined should not be ()brained with his good will. They xi ho voted in frvour of the mo tion of Gen e ral Gaseoyoe, in the hope of any such indispcsition to Reform entertained by his Majes - y, will be miserably disappoitured. They must, pre pyre .to face their constituents, for they will soon • have an opportunity of exp'aining to them their motives for opposing a measure, which, more than any other-in the history of this country, may be said to be one on which tie people have set their hearts.

The people were morally certain that Reform could not by any possibility he with held.; they knew that the moment they Ivad•dettr mined nit Refurtn they mast obtain it ; but they might %yell be eXcu ed for their anxious wish, that the blOssing ,should be pure and unalloyed; that cc rrtupt and in . erested . men might not, in further -once of their hose views, succeed -in interrupting the public tranquillity.

As AF nis•ers have done their duty, it will remain for tha people to do theirs.— g(hroniele. • We now call upon England to unite as one man. The crisis is arrived ! it is clear to demonszration that no Reform Bill still be Npsed by the in . esent Flouse of Commons ! It is an enemy to Reform. At first we were sorry that a majority should have been obtained ag.tinst Ministers upon a point Mild - . seemed, though coming from the kiends of borough mongerage, to propose an addition to the populn,r reresentation ; but it is obvious that this was all trick, and nothing else. It is, therefore, clear that Parliament means to resist Reform; arid mi=st to dissolved, or there is an end of all hopes of Reform The cup is dashed from our parched lips; and the sale of in the House of Commons, like bullock stands in ; and the noMination of men-- bers to act as our represeniativts ; and the aggran dizement of great farailies- from their Patliamen tury influence, at Llteexpense of the people, and in defiance of tnedest all must continue, HI the State, and its noblest institutions, sink into one common ruin. A dissolution only can stay the evil, and a .dis=olution is now (jailed for and deterinined on unanimously by Mi nisters. This Ilort.e is an enemy to Iteform! It is worse than a rancorous enemy—it is 'a subtle one. It has shuffled of the question of Reform by a stratagem. What, then, are the people of Eng land to do to regain a glimpse of their beloved Re form, otherwise lest—lost perhaps forever ? Let them now prepare themselves to petition for a di , - solution, unless, indeed, which is most probable, the dissolution shall be immedia . e. The King, it is certain, will not hesitate to take this deeisk , e step: Still the people, till tit; y know that the dissolution is decided on, should call meetings and combine in resolutions and petitions to the throne foe a dis solution of Parliament. In fact, we see England in motion at this moment, and every t hing that we have hitherto observed of county, and borough, and ,Parish meetings, for Reform, is the still ness of private life when compared to the fervid bustle now excited for the dissolu►ion of - that House of Commons which has put its veto on Re form. " If," we siy to our countrymen, " you Live ever grieved over the scandal of a mock repre sentation,—if you have ever sighed for your just rights, and a Voice in your own House of Par liament,—if you have ever met and resolved, and re-resolved, and screwed up your courage to the sticking point, that your wealthiest and noblest towns should have representatives, and the mere nominees of Peers he banished from the Commons' House of Parliament,—that Gatton and St. Mawes, and Boroughbridge, and Old &iron), and scores of Other depopulated ruins, should be erased from the list of Parliamentary boroughs,—now is the time to follow np the blow, and to call for the immediate assolwion of that body which says, in mere than words, that these abominations shall exist in spite of you." If a new Parliament sanctions them,.then will vve become anti-reformers too.—Times. We had little thought that,.in the very conflict of the Reform Bill, a subject should have occurred, in which we had some interest, calculated by its conse quences almost to divide the public attention. That subject is the appearance of our.printer.st the bar of one of the Houses of Parliament. He appeared here for the snood time last night, by a Petition and apology hich the Lord President of the Cunt 61 declared to be satisfactory, and which sse are sure was intended t t o be sa:isfitetory. But the ease still stands over foitc4ight, and rite print,or is still in custody.
