(From the Times Private Correspondent.) PARIS, TUESDAY. Before I resume my narrative of the state of this city last night, after I despatched my express to you, I wish to apprize you that the information which I have just re . ceiverl of the state of the cif ital this day is calculated to awaken the utmost alarm. Business is at a stand ; credit is annihilated ; the functionaries are without money ; the Government without moral strength. The people whom you meet speak with distrust and suspicion, and now, for - the last time, I hear, with horror and dismay, that the mass of the working classes— the men whom you hear were, in their. justly glorious days of July, so nobly in. spited with the principles of honour, glory, and law— *sort now be permitted to assassinate prisoners while on their trial, or, a: least, when a mitigated verdict shall hare been pronounced. This frightful stain upon civilization is this day talked of as floating upon the tide of events, and its contemplation hardly seems to raise a hluil among classes who boast of their spirit and generosity. I give you these opinions as I hear them, and wish, by stating them at once, to separate them from the narrative of facts which have la.t night and this day passed under my own direct observation. I concluded my letter of yesterday by stating that when Kbad left the Palace of the Luxembourg crowds of people were collectieg, and the National Guards everywhere moving to arms. Upon my return at six o'clock to the same neighbourhood, where I iioralned until past eleven o'clock, I found the National Guards advancing in mass • from the elevated ground in front of the Luxembourg, and Pressing the people downwards towards the quays. This movement was executed in the best temper by the National Guards, and I was particularly struck with the coolness and suavity of the officers, who everywhere said, " Do, my friends, have the complaisance to retire." They were decried by the people, and the order obeyed with irritation, the people as they receded constantly conversing with the troops, and complaining that their glorious revolution was compromised, and that they knew the Guards would join them in enforeing justice. The troops always said " Yes," but inflexibly, yet moderately, cleared the streets half-way down all the streets which lead from the Court of Peers. As the night advanced, about eight o'clock I thought I observed a great change both in the character and temper .of this crowd; it had at that time received an immense accession' of strength from the Fauxbourg St. Antoine, and I think all the workmen in Paris must have concentrated their strength in the quarter of the Luxembourg. Still in every quarter the National Guards gently bore upon them ; the cry of the people then became general. " Citizen soldiery, take off your bayonets, you are ourselves,—we will act together." The r fficete r• plied, " Yes, we are all the public —rye are your fdlow-citizens; our bayonets will do you no harm ; but soldiers can never take them off." The cries then became terrific of " Death to Polignac," " Death to Peyronnet." The names of time other prisoners Were not even mentioned. These movements occupied the . neighbourhood from six o'clock until eleven o'clock. The • shops were speedily shut, the National Guards every where reinforced, and the bulk of the people divided, and sent quietly away. In some of the inner forts, however, several of the Na ,tional Guards were disarmed; but the few guns which 'were so taken were speedily recovered by patrols who came to the relief of the sentinels. The great elite of this crowd wait cemposed of young men about 18 or 20 years •of age, and wearing working jackets and cloth caps. I have heard that in this disguise were bodies of time law and Medical students, and some of the Polytechnic youth. In Only a single instance d•d I see any thing to sustain this assertion, and that was at the corner of the rue du Dau phin, where, when a National Guard said to a young man, " Why don't you retire, you have heard our orders."— ' ( Ordinances was the French word he used.) " Yee, I Imave heard of the ordinances (meaning the coup d'etat 'of time Ex-Ministers), and I have come here to see justice ,done for them." In every other instance the expressions `if the c r ow d w hi c h assa il e d my ears were uttered with 4 he patois pronunciation and bar of the lower classes of the FrenCh people. Medical students tell me that they only Mlxtd in the crowd through curiosity, and the Polytechnic .Pcholars have issued a paper, denying any participation in these tumults. *At nine o'clock 12,000 of the National Guards were in actual duty around the Luxembourg, regiments of the line Were formed in the Louvre and Palais Royal, and the gates closed against the public. General Lafayette, that virtu nue but weak old man, repaired instantly to the Palace of the Luxembourg ; on his way he was assailed in various Places by offensive epithets, but the great bulk of the epectetors preserved that respect which is due to his age and character. lie demanded a bed in the prison of the un happy Ministers, and said he should not quit that domicile until the sanctuary of the laws was assured. The Ring is In a state of great consternation. Among his Ministers Marshal Soult alone has energy. Latitte is a lege man and a talker, hut affected, as must necessarily be, hie commercial position by the deplorable condition of the times : he has no strength out of doors.

The Honourable Gentle man is a staunch Reformer, as his late spirited exertions at Stamford, and on the memorable East Retford question, abundantly attest. He has energy too, and strength of mind, and much practical information, and is thus admirably quali fied both by nature and art to support a Govern ment, which though in full possession of the confidence of the country, has yet a thou sand difficulties to contend against. We ap prehend more danger to Earl GREY'S Admi. nistration from the mean malignity of its false friends, than the bold hostility of its open enemies. The adhesion, therefore, of such a man as Mr. TEN NYSON is peculiarly seasonable, and will gratify all the friends of Reform and retrenchment. We have received the Allgemeine Zeitung, which is filled chiefly with rumours and speculations re specting, the Polish insurrection. There is little fresh intelligence in the Journal : it merely con firms tbiteport that the King of PRUSSIA is adopt ing the most rigorous precautions to preserve his share of the plunder of Poland from the epidemic of revolt, and that the Emperor of RusstA is equally on the alert. Of the line of proceedings intended to be adopted by the METTEntuett Government of Austria, we do not hear a word. Meanwhile the Provisional Government of Warsaw continues to act with as much discretion as determination. In order, we presume, to gain time,und give a colouring to their proceeding., which may justiry them in the eyes of all Europe—though such a cause needs no justification—they have issued a proclamarion, offer ing to return to " obedience and fidelity to the Em peror," on certain conditions—one of which is .the union of the old Poli , h provinces, formally sepa rated from the kingdom and added to Ru-siu—whicli they know will never be accepted. In the struggle that hangs over them the Polish Government has fearful odds to contend against, but we have little doubt that in the long run their patriotic exertions will be crowned with perfect success VIENNA, DEC. 11.--Today joyful news has been made public, that his Majesty the King of flungaly nd Crown Prince of the Austrian States will marry her Royal Highness the Princess Marianne of Sa , dinia, twin sister of her Royal Highness the Duchess of Lucca.

F►toat TOE POLISH FRONTIERS, DEC. 5.—A plan, which has been long preparing, and has extensive ramifi cations, to restore ancient Poland, lias been suddenly car ried into execution. It is intended to effect what Napo leon, surrounded by the heady of the first families of thrice divided Poland, promised at Sololetp.ko, but i-nmedi itely disappointed, through self-interested family views. At present the otject appears to be the re-establishment of the Constitution of 1791 ; hu► it is probably desired to return to the state previous to the first petition of 1772. The two Emperors, Alexander and Nicholas, have spared nothing t► reconcile the kingdom of Poland as it has existed since the Congress of Vienna, with the Russian dominion ; but the means which the Grand Duke Gmstantine employed to htitl. all secret dis content were, perhaps, not calculated to appease it by their inexorable rigour, which even the influence of Princess Lowiez could not moderate. A particular dislike was en tertained against all freedom of thotight, antdevery citcu lutinn of ideas nut immediately countered with military discipline. Distrust, kept up by spies of every descrip tion, generated distrust. 'I bus the most liberal assurances made unreservedly by the Emperor Nicholas in the last Diet, at 'Warsaw, could not extinguish the fire at hich glitz - tittered under the ashes. All the piternil care which the Emperor has so abundantly manifested in the Govern ment of Poland was forgotten. It it well known that not a florin of the revenue of Poland went to Russia. All was expended for the promotion of agriculture, the mines, the breeding of sheep, for manufactures, for the improvement of the finances, and for the esta blishment of better public schools. Only the Russian sys tem of Customs which was intended to include Pol.nd, could not but be felt as very oppressive in a country where the whole trade except the trade in beer awl brandy is in the hands of the Jews. However, the most exemplary order every where prevailed , an d the e xtraordinar y credit which the Polish bonds lately enjoyed, was a better proof of the solidity of the public credit than the most pompous speeches in the Diet, awl yet a tempest suddenly breaks out as from an unclouded sky, which threatens to con vulse the whole east of Europe. The Prussian State Gazette has related the first explosion on tl.e evenin4 of the 29th, only what could then be collected. With re spect to all that preceded, the repot ts are so contradictory, that we must necessarily wait for further information. Already on the 22d of November, the Grand Duke Con stantine had in his hands a list of the conspirators, but this time be contented Iriotclf with laying it before the Council of State, to which be left it . to arrest the persons itnp'icated, and institute a leg al ingurey• The Grand Duke scarcely ventured to come any mote to Warsaw, and there was reason to expect every hour the breaking out of the plot, the first object of which was the deliverance of the prisoners, in which the aid of all the inhabitants of Warsaw, in concert with the national troops of the IMe,• was depended upon. Ilere, too, the people - yielding to the tranquil impulse of this military movement. Up to this moment this is what I have myself (From the Morning licrald.)

THE FUNDS. The express from Paris, received this morning, caused some delay in the operations at the Stock Exchange, as the contents, which were expected to be of importanc-, did not appear until coins time after the House opened, consequently no business was done till the speculators had a.certained them, previous to which Consols were nominally quoted at the tune price they left off yesterday, 811 for the Account; but the moment it was known that the French 3 per Cents came upwards of 9 per cent. hi4her, Consolh rose to 82k, at which price they are at present. By the express, Paris it still in a most agitated state, like Mount Vetuvius before an eruption, but giving sufficient time to the surrounding inhabitants to with. draw from the danger. The French Government have been tvarned, and are prepared with a strong military force; and we have every reason to believe that the result will he something similar to the event of our last Lord Mayor's In the Foreign Market nothing doing as yet. kiNtILIM FUNDS.

The Creml ' Duke Constantine retreated with the regiments that remained faithful, and dismissed the Polish regiments of the guards and all ocher national troops that remained with him, who soon entered Warsaw with colours 441, and did homage to the new Government. External tranquillity is now restored and public security re• established, as far as is possible after all the old regu lations of police are abolished. The disturbances which h we broken out at the same time at Kalisch, and in all the provinces of the kingdom, hardly leave any doubt of the pleading agreement. The march of the Russian troops from the interior of the empire was connected with these events. The most alarming circumstance is, that pro. clamations have been issued from Warsaw, calling upon the whole male population from the age of 15 to 45, not only in the kingdom, but in the provinces united with Russia, especially Lithuania and Volhynia, to take tip anus. All eyes are therefore tumid to the great army in Lithuania, u'h;ch is at least 40,000 strong. The piquet~ of Cossacks stationed on the frontier between Russia and Poland, to en force the tariff of customs, are disarmed and made prisoners. Of course this frontieris now open for the introduction of all kinds of prohibited goods, and great Jew:sh merchants have already given extensive orders in Leipsic ; but all the sanitary cordons are also broken up, and thus there is free scope for the entrance of the cholera. The Prussian Stat..s will adopt the most rigorous pre cautions. For the present three Prussian corps are or dered to assemble at Posen, Lissa, and Thorn, under Ge neral Gneisenau as Commander-in-Chief. All t:,e troops are put in motiun, as the march of recruits to the Rhine is not interrupted. In the War Department, where Gene r.l Witzlemn di-phys the greatest activity, every thing is in motion. Not only the first reserve of the Landwher is called out, but also the second, which includes all men able 'tl bear arms to the age of forty-five. The fortification of Posen, which has been going on for above a year, is to be acc-Jereed. It is no wonder that with such appearances of war Russian hangs Lave fallen to 81 ; but no thinking person will, on that account, imagine every thing to be lost. Letters from Berlin speak of the memorable firmness and calmness of the King, which inspires general confidence. Here, in Silesia, tee ' know nothing of what measures may be taken by the •Austrian - Government against the insurrection which might threaten Gallicia. The garrison in Breslau has not yet received any orders to march. Cescow, Dxc. 6.—Violent as was the explosion of the revolution in Warsaw, the leading men seem to pro ceed with the greatest coolness in the further develops ment of it, and to desire to conceal its real tendency un der the cover of fidelity to the Emperor Nicholas, in order, when the insurrection is complete, to give themselves in the eyes of the world the appearance of moderation, and to avert for themselves the future chances of personal danger to themselves. The Provisional Government has issued a proclamation, in which it promises to return to obedience and fidelity to the Emperor ; but requires, on the other hand— l. The maintenance of the existing Constitution. 2. The union of the old Polish provinces formerly se parated from the kingdom awl added to Russia. 3. Inviolability of the Polish territory, and the with drawing of the Lithuanian army stationed about Bialy stock and Breess under General Rosen. 4. The exehtnge of the prisoners. Who does not see in such proposals the object of the insurgents to consoli date the strength and connections of Poland under the protection of Russia, in order to he afterwards the better able to proclaim its independence? The re-union of the old Polish provinces would strengthen the king dom of Poland by the addition of four millions of souls, and might foul to other pretensions to which neither Austria nor Russia could yield, even should the Emperor of Russia be disposed to grant the .remands of the new Government at Warsaw. But it is not very likely that there will be much readiness at St. Peter.- burgh to make concessions of this nature ; and we may rather expect to see in a few weeks all the horrors of war overwhelm Poland. What fate will then await the in considerate insurgents when the great Russian armies, which have been for several weeks in motion, advance ./gainst them, maybe presumed from fortnerexamplesof the siege of Warsaw, and the storming of Prague. The Wes however, seem disposed to make a powerful resistance, to arm the whole nation, and excite the greatest enthusiasm in the people's minds, as soon as the hour of retaliation shall come. They do not, however, seem to fear the Lithuanian army so touch as might he supposed from their good condition, but rather to hope it will assist them.— But they are too well aware of the power opposed to them, not to be sensible that they are ruined if the Emperor does not let mercy take the place of justice. Some bit republicans, who have formed a club, take all imaginable pains to raise the courage of the Poles, to extol their valour, and to prophecy success to their efforts, after the examble of the Bekiansl brit - the moderate class look with anxiety to the future.

A numerous meeting was held this day (Dee. 21.) a, the Guildhall of this town, at which the principal persons for talent and wealth of the town and adjoining counties were present, A. Barn, Esq.

The meeting was occupied upwards of four hours by a number of very animated speeches, in favour of the resolutions proposed. As this qu stiun has already been so much discussed, and the arguments in its limn• so well known to every reader of the daily Papers, it is unneces sary to give even an outline of their speeches. It was proposed to embody the whole of the resolutions in a pea !ion, anal that Earl Grey be requested to present it to the House of Lords; Sir M. IV. Ridley and J. Hodgson, Esq. Members of Parliament for the town, to the House of Commons; and flirt the two Members for the county of Northumberland (Mr. Bell and T. W.

The following is a copy of the peti tion adopt:ll: TO THE HONOURABLY.: THE COMMONS OF GREAT BRITAIN' AND IRELAND, IN PARLIAMENT AS SENBLED. THE HUMBLE PETITION OF THE UNDERSIGNED MERCHANTS, BANKERS, MANUFACTURERS, AND OTHER INHABITANTS OF NVWCAsTLEXPON. TYNE, " EWE ru,—That the present state of the representation of the people is notoriously defective and unjust; that while places, with scarcely any inhabitants, are allowed to return Members of Parliament, other places, large, populous, and wealthy, are deprived of that important privilege ; that while in boroughs, servii tele and birth form in general the qutlilicitions of electors—a great majority of inhabitint householders—of persons contributing largely to the revenue, and di.eply interested in the measures of the Go vernment, are totally shut out front the exercise of the elective franchise. " That to the imperfect state of the representation are mainly to be ascribed the evi's with which the country is afflicted ; amongst which your petitioners may take leave to enumei ate unjust monopolies, oppressive and vex,itious 'Awn, and a most profligate waste of the public money, forming a train of evils threatening in their consequences to involve in distress and ruin every class of the community. " That your petitioners have seen with the highest satisfaction the recent change in his Majesty's Councils—a change which inspires them with a confident hope that the earnest prayers of the people for an effective reform of the Ilepresenta.ion will no longer be unattended to. That in the humble opinion of your petitioner, the Commons II use of Pat lictment ought to be—and which a proper reform would he—the express image of the feelings and sentiments if the people. "'That your petitioners would hail with pleasure any new enactmente of the Legislature calculated to lessen the expenses, and to obviate the demoralising effects of con tested elections--or, in a word, calculated to secure the unbought and uninfluenced suffrages of the electors ; anti in this point of view your petitioners respectfully submit that it will be deserving the special consideration of your Honourable House, whether the adoption of Ballot, as a mode of taking the votes of electors, may not be advisable. " That your petitioners conceive that in any plan of Reform which may he brought forward, it will be India ! pen4bly necessary that a great extension of the right of soft age should be admitted; that BorotOis which have either fallen into decay, or becom e notoriously dependent and corrupt, should be disfranchised, while et the same time the right of representation should he given to all the larger unrepresented towns in the United Kingdom. " Molar these circumstances your petitioners truest earnestly entreat your Ifonouralile !log's to take into early consideration the important question of Parliamentary Reform ; and to adopt such ma usurer as may effectually remedy the tang existing and deep!y-felt grievances of an un,qual and imperfect representation of the people in the Commons !louse of Parliament. " And your petitioners will ever pray." HUNTING INTELLIGENCE. APPOINTMENTS FOR TOE PRESENT WEFIC.

Thus at a crisis like the present, and in the teeth of the verdict of a former Committee, as if in mockery of the signs of the times, and the feelings and opinions of the country, an infamous family compact has been legalized by a violation of the principles of all law, and the public interest sacrificed to faction and conspiracy. You must by this time be convinced, or you must be impervious to conviction, of the utter and glaring inn. tility of appealing for a redress of grievances to that which is of itself the greatest grievance, and the parent and guardian of every other—an unreformed House of Commons. Fortunately the present Government stands pledged . to Parliamentary Reform, and there can be none in reality by which you will not be emancipated. Were it not fur this assurance, I should have flt it my duty to recommend to you --lather than acquiesce any longer iu the mock representation of your town, to petition, in the first place, for its disfranchisement altogether ; and in the event of your prayer being disregarded, I should have coun selled you to make such a display at the next eleeti an as might induce the self-styled patrons or proprietors of your borough, either to throw off the mask at once, and return their no minees by compulsory means, or to desist henceforth from the re-enactment of their insulting farce within your pre cincts. But I trust that no such course can now he neeesury. Were it not, however, fur this auspicious change of Admi nistration, it might have been for you to have considered of the propriety of forming an association for the pratic tion of all duly qualified resident householders of Batt ings, who should refuse to pay local imposts with out admission to local privileges. If your absolute existence As freemen be denied by your pre tended corporation, why should you voluntarily incur the responsibili des attached to it? And, if you , are, to have only the advantage of what is miscalled virtual le presentation, why should you not insist on virtual tax ation also? Patiently for more than a century have you submitted to the usurpation of your franchises, though by the letter and spirit of your charter, as well avi of the Constitution, it is ordained that all who bear equal burdens are entitled to equal rights. Iu cases like yours, and under circumstances such as I have contemplated, resistance to illegal outrage is An lart of morality anal duty—the time and mode are questions merely of calculation and expediency. I have the honour to remain, Gyntklue l l i Your faithful friend and sersant. R. OTWAY CAVE. London, Dec. ?.3. THE BALLOT. (From the Greenock Advertiser.) The soul emancipated, unoppressed, Free to prove alt things, and hold fast the best Learns much," , TO Mr Erwrott OF TUX ORRENOCK ADVIRTISFi. Ma EDITOR,—In opposition to what your corre.pnn- Oent G. s oys against the ballot, permit me to state a little of what can be sa'd in favour of this plan of voting, which recommends itself by 50 years' C 3 perience of its good effects in America; which saved France from the despotism dra tined for it by Polignac, and which all England, taught by the evil effects arising from the want of it, calls loudly fior. It is ,tune generally understood that the new Ministry, and the friends of Reliant in Parliament, contemplate an extension of the eective franchise in Scotland to the mid , lle classes; anti it deceives notice, that very, few of the meetings or petition* es yet got up advueate either universal suffrage or annual Parliaments. This preset:re good : all seem convinced that too gretit changett are by 'too means advisable ; the geveral aim seems to be, to build up the present Constitntion, not to pull down—to repair, tobt destroy; and all are agreed that to effect this thcie must be a new distribution of the representation, by taking Iran the old and decayed boroughs, and giving to large and populous cities and towns, at present unrepresented, and particularly us it regurls Scotland, a very considerable extension of the deo:title franchise. All that seems wanting in England is the former, with vote by ballot. The people of England, especially in places where all who pay scot and lot, or as in Preston where all the inhabitant householders vote at election'', surely cannot complain . of a narrow suffrage : what they complain of is, that undue influence is exer cised by the Aristocracy. Thus inhabitants of several places find this overbearing influence so intolerable., that they are just now petitioning Parliament either to lie protected by the ballot, or to do away with the vei..kei and degrading farce of elections as at present carried on altogether. Who can think otherwise, who has seen or hearth of the late flagrant warning sway, and owing of tenants, because they preferred, instead of peijuring. themselves, to act independently, according to con. science and judgment ? Or who can fur one moment hesitate as to the absolute necessity of the after hearing of the dreadful teems of britety, per jury, corrupti on , an d d e b auc h ery exhibited at the late Liverpool election ? Can any friend to vittue end morality (as G. protestor,' himself to be) not Int ebonite to adopt almost any pie') that would protni , e to cure this shocking degradation of morals, and prostration of every independent and honourable feting ? The, e are two kinds of influence exercised by the Wealthy awl affluent, over the classes below them ; a good and a bad. Wisdom and virue when joined tat wi:l always command iedpect, and those who possess these will bs /wood with attention, and their example followed ; this is the good influence to which none can have any objection. Out when the wealthy entleaveour eo carry an election by threats or promisee, by operating on the minds of voters by the hope of reward, or the fear of evil, then the had influence comes into action. The pod influence will still opera,ta i with the ballot—the bad will cease to act, and beteoso m extinct, and such is the c Immolation devoutly to he wished fur by all friend!) , to the ballot. It is now al lowed on all hands that it would he beneficial to the empire at large, to extend the elective franchise in Scot land to the middle class s. Here then the qu atiutA comes into a narrow compass: are they to give 4 free expression to their (opinion of the merits of rival earoli.; dates, without the debasing influence arising from the' hope of reward, or fear of punishment ; ur, are they to be Licit a prey to the bad influence of the ambition, and , unprincipled : in short, are they to exercise th e I,autod se themselves for not, in order that all the good to be es-. front the extension of the franchise may be realized In the ono case, as supposed in the first question, they ; will; in the other, . they will not. 100 voting by ballot they will act as free agents ; by open voti ng they will ire too many meta become tools anal inotruments in the hands of those who ran, and will (if they are not prevented by ballot), turn the Wooing of ...vended suffrage into a cum. As to Mr. G.'a unworthy supposition of extensive pions being formed to put clown, by sect et voting, the 1110.1' exited and virtuous eheractere, it is a libel on his coon- • trytnen. Whet! will men combine without temptation to do so, to injure themselves and their count.y ? not exulted and virtuous characters the very men they would choose if left to their unbiassed judgment ? To "PP" the rev, roe o f thi s , as Mr. O. has done, is to ,OPP°SO his countrymen actuated by a ptinciple I dare baldly name; of perpetrating evil for the fiendish pleasure of doiog If Mr. G. belongs to the exalted and v.rtuotts class, be need be tinder no apprehension of their bovine by ballot that legitimate influence which is the sure concomitant of worth and excellence. Hut if lot feels attached to those who would still retain the ascetulatwy by any wher means, and who by their (opposition to the ballot seem afraid their count+ poen are byit likely to make their escape from deha%ing influence—no enlightened refornier having the good of his country at heart, can have any fellowship with him ; why should they, with the man who gr,ouitoto4 pours forth such a copious flood of contempt on theist who have long been convinced of the necessity, and I.honc ei t ire the calve of Reform?
