GERMAN PAPERS. Minims, Aran 20.—Tise Independatit contains the ollowing passage :—" We announced a week ago that the King had commissioned M. de Thetis to form a Mi nistry ; we are assured that the honourable member has applied to several of his political friends, and among others to Messrs. Dubois, Brahont, and de Muelenaere, and that he yesterday stated to his Majesty that he found it impossible to form a Cabinet. It is added that the King, after having received the refusal of M. de Theta, and the refusal of the .Ministers who have resigned to remain in office, prorogued the Chamber to the 6th of May. A decree, signed yesterday evening, is to appear in the Mo. niteur this morning."--(This ordinance is not in the Moniteur of Saturday, April 20.) The following is the ordinance, which confirms this (‘ Leopold, &c. We have &treed and decree the Chambers are pro trogue'd froa the 21st of April to the 6th of May next. g• Our Minister of the Interior is charged with the exe cution of this decree. " LEOPOLD. " Given rit Brussels, April 19, 1833." th cause of M. Thellusson against General Vander meere and M. Drummond, came on yesterday. The ground election is an assault. The business commenced with the examination of the witnesses, and it will be con inued to-morrow. All the Royal family set out this morning at nine o'clock firMalines, and will return to Brussels this evening. The Belgian people and soldiers must be accustomed to the Royal family of France. After the Queen of the French and the Dukes of Orleans and Nemours, we have now Msdame Adelaide and two Princesses, her nieces; they will have the pleasure of being presented to our troops under arms. The first parade took place at Louvain ; the second is at Malines. What happiness for our brave men to present arms to petticoats, and to display their battalions to vapourish women. Is our army institith'd for the amusement of the ladies of the House of kirisfans? In fact Louis Philip and two of his sons have 'not yet come to visit it. These Princes doubtless have a presentiment that they will see it but too soon, and recol lecting that Louis XVIII. did not come among us merely to eat asparagus, they will probably wait till analagous events oblige them to take a journey, which they think it useless to hasten just at this woment.—Afessagerde Gond. In the sitting of the Senate yesterday (the 19th), se veral amendments on the law relative to the naturalization of foreigners were discussed.—Le Lynx, April 21. BERLIN, ArRIL 12.—We learn that the consort of the late Pt ince Radziwill is so ill that her recovery is despaired of; and his amiable eldest daughter, who is a prey to melancholy, is also said to be nearly on the point of death. The grippe (influenza) is now a universal complaint, and above 40,000 persons have been attacked by it in a few days. Almost half of the garrison is suffering under it, and the physicians think it far more contagious than the chole ra. A more rigorous prohibition has been issued in Russia against travelling to France; several young Russians had been obliged to end their winter tour here, as the Ambas sador refused to give them passports. This measure, of course, extends to Poland.—Nurenburg Correspondent, April 16. FRANKFORT, APRIL 17.—Accounts have been received by way of Constantinople, respecting the expedition of the Persian Prince, Abbas Mirea, to Chorasan, who had taken Amirabad and Kuschan, by storm. News was ex pected of .he fall of Mesched, the holy city, the possession of which would be highly important to him. The total dissolution of the Empire of the Afghans and its division into numerous petty principalities, always at war with each other, are very favourable to the Persians. If they prosecute the campaign with some energy, they may make themselves masters of a good portion, Sechtan and Alghaniston, and so indemnify themselves for the loss of the provinces ceded to the Russians. Rundgit Sing, King of Lahore, on his side makes rapid progress in the subjection of the eastern pa:l of Cabul, so that it may be foreseen that all the states between him and Persia will shortly disappear. The Russians seem to favour the campaign of Abbas Mites, it being for their interest that Persia should extend its dominions as far as possible towards India, because this paves the way for themselves. These little Courts of central Asia have been for some time past the object of very active intrigues on all sides, and agents of England, Russia, and Lahore, in great numbers, traverse the countries between &khan and Sind, between the Indus and Herat, to form connec tion, and to observe the military affairs of the country. This part of the world will doubtless become at no distant period the theatre of important events ; Khiva, Bokhara, Balk, Candahar, Perchauar, Herat, and Sind, are states which will not he able much longer to withstand the presence of their more powerful neighbours, and even Persia and Lahore will probably, under more or less positive forms, soon fall into complete dependence on Russia and England.—Frankfort Papers, April 18.

ALEXANDER, 42d Royal Highlander] Richard Bentley, New Burlington -street. (Successor to Henry Colburn.) Ail *tut LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL 24, 1833. As we yesterday anticipated, the debate on Mr. ATTWOOD'S motion was not brought to a close last night, although a struggle was made against its further adjournment. It may be presumed that the division will take place to-night, as well from the impatience last night manifested, as from almost all who might be expected to speak upon such a subject having already addressed the House. The only remark able feature in the discussion of last night was the constant appeal made by nearly all the sup porters of Mr. ATTWOOD'S motion, to the selfishness of the landed interest, an appeal hitherto made with unfailing success. We hope and believe, huwever, that the passing and fic titious nature of the prosperity which landowners would reap by this species of robbery, is too clearly seen by them not to make them refrain from doing that which, as a simple act of injustice to the rest of the community, we think they would not hesitate to do. This may be thought a harsh judgment, but as long as we are without a property-tax, as long as the inheritance of a tradesman, a manufacturer, or a fundholder, is subject to taxes which those of landowners are not, as long as the stamp and every other Act imposing taxes,favour that class of individuals, and bear heavily upon every other, the most charitable judgment that can be formed of their conduct is that, like other men, they too readily persuade themselves, that what accords with their own interest is for the advantage of others, albeit those others may persist in saying that it is to their injury. The sensitiveness of the delicacy of some of the Honourable Members at being told by Lord ALTHonp that no honest man could vote for the motion, was drolly exhibited last night. It is something like the virtuous in dignation of NINON DE L'ENcLos, at having had applied to her an epithet bestowed upon those who do from necessity what she did from choice, or of the man brought up to Bow -street a short time back, charged with stealing a coach parcel, insisting that he had not abstracted it. As it is the usage of Par liament—heaven knows, often found sufficiently necessary—to assume that its Members are all honest, honourable men, all influenced by the most disinterested motives, all having the public welfare only at heart, Lord ALTHORP was, of course, obliged " to explain," as it is technically called, or, as Mr. COBBETT WOUld say, beg pardon " for having let out the truth." We shall be impatient to see the list of Mr . A TTWOOD'S minority. We expect it to ex_ hibit a strange compound of humane and pa triotic men, led away by a scheme 00 which their imaginations have become heated, and of individuals whose past conduct will afford a sufficient indication that neither humanity nor patriotism have been their guides on the occasion. Dr. BOWRING, who has been for some time in France, following up the inquiries ordered by the Commissioners of Public Accounts, has recently transmitted much useful information, which will be embodied in another report to Parliament. Dr. BOWRING is now at Nantes, and we hear that one of the objects of his visit is to ascertain the practicability of the long talked of treaty of commerce between this country and France. The merchants of Bor deaux, Nantes, &c., who have great influence with the French Government, object to any co►s cessions to the commerce of this country, ex cept on condition of a large reduction being made on the duties upon French brandies. Th• friends of Lord PALMERSTON have con tradicted the report of his being likely to pro • ceed to India, as Governor-General. The report, however, is still current in the upper cbcles. We learn by a communication from Berlin that the " influenza there is now a universal complaint, and above 40,000 persons have been attacked in a few days. Almost half of the gar rison is suffering under it, and the physicians think it far more contagious than the cholera." It is a fortunate circumstance that the influenza is not essentially a fatal disorder, like the cho lera, or at least two-thirds of London would by this time have been carried off by it. We understand that there is no truth in the report alluded to by the Paris Correspondent of a Morning Paper, of its being intended to grant a general political amnesty in France on the Ist of May. It has been resolved, we be lieve, that a certain number of persons, who are now in prison for political offences, shall be amnestied shortly, but the act is not to be general. The German papers contain no further intel ligence respecting the movements of the Russians and Egyptians. A short time, however, we doubt not, will put us in possession of some decisive news on this head. A communication from Frankfort, dated the 17th, alludes to some disturbances that have taken place in Persia, in which, it appears, that the Russians favour the Persian Prince, ABBAS MIRZA, " it being for their interest that Persia should extend its dominions as far as possible towards India, because this paves the way for themselves." How this may be we know not, but the supposition is likely enough, for Russian intrigue makes itself felt, more or less, throughout almost every part of the universe. A more restless, meddlesome, mischievous Power than the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh never yet threatened to derange the whole fabric of European policy. The Dublin correspondent of the Morning Herald in giving an account of a proposition at the Union of Trades yesterday-week, to petition Parliament for the extension of the 43d of Elizabeth to Ireland, in other words to establish poor laws, says that " A Mr. CAR.. BERRY, of Longford, acknowledged that poor laws were necessary, and even adduced some very strong facts illustrating the manner in which property is managed in his county, which clearly demonstrated that necessity ; but he concluded with much naivete, by observing that ' he could not conceal his opinion that a poor law would be prejudicial to the question of the repeal of the Union !' " This is letting the cat out of the bag with a vengeance. Give the people of Ireland the certainty of earning the scantiest livelihood by the hardest ' work, and they will become so peaceable and happy as not to care about the repeal of the Union. This ought to make an impression on the labouring classes of Ireland ; this ought to make them consider whether it be better worth their while to submit to be happy, or to persist in being miserable, in order to obtain a repeal of the Union. We quote the following particulars respecting the most recent movements of Admiral SARTO.• RIUS from a Morning Contemporary : " FALMOUTH, APRIL 22.—The Aid cutter, Pascoe, master, has arrived here this afternoon from the Bayonne Islands ; she left them on the 11 th instant. Admiral Sartorius, with tbri-e frigates, a corvette, and brig, con. tinned at anchor there ; the ship Edward, from London, arrived on the day of the cutter's departure, with stores for the squadron, and it was stated with specie sufficient in amount to discharge half of the pecuniary demands of the fleet, up to the period of the latter's arrival ; the crew were in a dissatisfied state, and had refused obedience to the commands of their officers; but it was believed, on the portion of the arrears being paid, they would readily return to their duty. This information being contradic tory to the statement communicated from the Douro, under dote of the Bth instant, w hi c h was transmitted for insertion in your journal, relative to Sortorius having left, with the fleet, for England, can only be accounted for by the writer of the letter being misinform d from a mali cious and sinister motive of his informant. The next arrival from Oporto will no doubt fully explain the cause of the error." Captain BERKELEY has a notice of a motion standing for to-night, which w ill, we suppose, be postponed; but which, whenever it comes on, will be of some immediate interest to the Members of the House of Commons, and of great indirect interest to th e p u bli c at l arge . The resolution Captain BERKELEY intends proposing to the House runs thus--." That it is expedient that a part of the gallery of this House, or some other commodious place, be appropriated to the reporters of the public press, the reporters, so admitted, being ame nable to such regulations as this House may think fit to adopt." The Gallant Captain must alter the wording of his motion if he mean to do more than reverse, as far as regards the reporters, the standing order for the exclusion of strangers; for it so happens that, practically a portion of the gallery is appro priated to the reporters, and that they are amenable to any punishment for misrepresentation, wilful or accidental, they make, which the House may think fit to impose. The public is the party really most interested in the question, as it is the public who have to judge upon the reported speeches of the merits of a debate. It so happens that the public interest and the interest as well as the vanity of the greater part of the speaking Mem bers are one and the same, so that we can only ac count for the long continuance of the present _system of reporting the debates by the venera tion the House has hitherto felt for an cient abuses. At present, there are not above half the speakers so distinctly audi ble to the reporter as not to afford a rea sonable excuse for any error, however gross. To the reporters, it can be clearly a matter of no concern, whether a Member be audible or not but the spirit of good feeling generated by their education and habits, very much to their credit, makes them exceedingly anxious to avoid er ror. At the same time, we are bound to ac knowledge, that generally speaking, they do not for various reasons, wish for any better or more prominent situation in the House than tha which they now occupy. All that they desire for themselves, is to be perfectly freed from the im pertinences sonic of the officers of the House still indulge in, on the strength of the standing orders, which makes it a breach of privilege, ac cording to their construction of the orders, even to show a piece of a paper on a book in the gallery. The payment of twenty or thirty +iineas per annum from each paper, levied by the door keepers, not being a voluntary but a forced payment, without which they cannot obtain access to the gallery, of course produces little of the civility which an optional payment invariably does. It is time that the House of Commons should rescue itself from the disgrace of being made an exhibition of for half-a crown, and we trust that Capt. BERKELEY, as he has taken the matter up, will, in any alteration he proposes, abolish a practice so unbecoming the dignity of the House. 27% 8 , 4 297 SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY. FROM LLOYD'S.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. - - TUE COTTON TRADE.-In France, in 1831, the cotton spun was 74,000,000 lbs., besides the B itish yarn smug gled through Flanders. In Alsace powerful looms are in creasing fast ; the average wages of spinners is ss. Bd., and the time of labour from twelve to fourteen hours. In Switzerland, in 1831, the cotton spun was 1 8,816,0001h5., where cotton was at Sd. and wages 4s. sd. and the wages in similar mills in Britain, Ss. 4d. In Prussia and the Rhenish provinces, in 1830, the cot ton spun was 7,000,000 lbs. Power looms have been pro fitably introduced. In Saxony cotton spinning is just commencing, and fast augmenting. In 1831 there were spun 1,200,000 lbs. Average wages, 3s. 6d. In Austria it is fast advancing ; in 1831, 12,000,00011 m average wages, 31. 9d. I❑ India, the new mill, twelve miles above Calcutta, works every day—ninety-one hours in the week. In the United States, in 1831, the cotton span was 77,550,000 lbs. What we stated yesterday in our City article respecting Admiral Sartorius and his squadron being still at Vigo, and his receiving two months' pay for his sailors, appears to be confirmed by the following information from Pal. mouth, received this morning :—" The Aid cutter has arrived here from the Bayonne Islands; left on the II th inst. Admiral Sartoriu4, with his squadron, was there. The ship Edward, from London, arrived on the day of the cutter's departure, with stores for the squadron, and, it was stated, with specie sufficient to discharge half of the demands of the fleet. The crews were in a disorderly state, but it was believed that on a portion of the arrears being paid them, they would return to their duty." THE TUNDS. The adjourned debate in the House of Commons last night occupies the attention of the public, and Mr. Peel's speech is read with much attention, but the public are much surprised that, with all their fine and powerful arguments, not one of them has yet proposed a remedy for the evil. _ Consols opened at the price they left off yesterday, 874 for Account. _ _ _ HALF-PAST ONE.

TO THE EDITO1? OF THE SUN. Observing i❑ some of the public prints an account of the above eminent divine's opinion on the question of re form and vote by ballot, I am induced to send you the following corroboration of this opinion continuing to the end of his life. In the month of January, 1831, a public meeting was held in this city, at the Guildhall, to petition for a reform in Parliament. W. L. P. T. Taunton, Dig., barrister, was in the chair. Mr. Millie, one Of our Members was present. He then refused to support the vote by ballot. The meeting voted that the petition should be presented to the House by Lord Althorp. This petition received, in a few days, no less than 22,000 signatures. 1 waited upo❑ the Rev. Robert Hall, at his house, for his signature. He was then very ill, and confined to his room. After the lapse of a short time, he came to me in the parlour, dressed in his gown, shook me by the hand, took the petition, and read it throughout. I wished to save him the trouble, by telling him the contents; but this would not satisfy him. When he came to the rote by ballot, he remarked, in his usual quick manner—" Than right I" and signed it. The skin on which the petition was written he then took to the fire, carefully examining it several times to see whether his signature was dried, and then delivered it to me. It was the last signature to this peti tion, and I believe the last of a public nature that he ever signed. Thus did this great man leave, by one of his last acts, his opinion, that without the vote by bal'ot, the elective franchise, instead of a blessing to any people, is a Yaws, respectfully, JOHN WESLEY HALL. Bristol, April 22, 1533. curse. PLYMOUTH, APRIL 23. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,-1 am sorry to say we are disappointed in the re ductions that were expected to take place in all depart ments, particularly in the salaries of public officers. I would humbly propose the following deductions to be made in all officei of every description under Government, which can well be spared, considering our present distress all over the country : On all over 1,5001. per annum, a deduction to be made of 30 per cent. ; from 1,000/. to 1,5001. 20 per cent. ; from 500/. to 1,000/.8 per cent. ; from 300/. to 5001. 5 per cent. ; from 150/. to 300/. 2i per cent. Then no pensioner, or retired Ambassador, or other public officer, could grumble at being reduced in the same ratio. Sinecures, with a few exceptions, to die off with the present holders—in the meantime the same de duction to he made from them. These, Mr. Editor, are submitted by A CONSTANT READER OF " THE SUN.

The Court proceeded to hear the renewed arguments and evidence read in this case. It was an appeal from a judgment of his Honour the Master of the Rolls. Mr. Oxendon was an under-graduate at Cambridge, and the heir-apparent to his father's estates, a Kentish Baronet worth about 5,000/. a year. About the year 1624, he heard of the late Mr. Dufaur, a money agent, and he applied to him to procure for him advances of money. This was done to a great extent, and these transactions went on for several years. Mr. Dufaur held two bonds, one for 1,927/, and the other for 9661., from a Mr. Watkins, a clergyman in Northamptonshire. He parted with or sold those bonds to the plaintiff, and took his securities for the re-payment of the amount, with interest, &c. Before the bonds were payable Mr. Watkins absconded, and his property was sequestrated by other creditors. It was contended, on the one band, that be went off in consequence of pecuniary embarrassments, and, on the other, not only be cause of his embarrassments, but because he had an improper intrigue with a game-keeper's daughter in the neighbourhood. It turned out that the bonds were taken from Mr. Watkins, by Mr. Dufaur, under the most pressing circumstances, and when he was most deeply em barrassed ; and the proposition submitted by the Counsel, for the plaintiff, was, that Mr. Oxendon was not liable upon his securities for the remnants of the bonds, on these grounds, that Mr. Dufaur knew him to be an heir expectant, that Mr. Dufaur was his trusted agent, and lastly, that Mr. Dufaur had concealed from him the nature of the Bonds, the pressing circumstances under which they were given, and Mr. Dufaur's knowledge of the obligations and embarrassments at the moruent the Bonds were executed. Mr. Knight, Mr. Jacob, and Mr. Montague, were for the plaintiff; and Sir Edward Sugden, Mr. Cooper, and Mr. Crawford, for the defendant. VICE-CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY. His Honour the VICE-CHANCELLOR took cause peti tions to-day ; but in consequence of the indisposition of Sir Edward Sugden, who was counsel in almost every petition, his Honour heard only a very few of the peti tions, and rose before eleven o'clock. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) Causes possessing not the least public interest occupied his Honour the whole morning. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) RAYNARD V. ROBINSON. Mr. SERGEANT WILDE stated that this was an action brought by the assignee of an insolvent named Birch, against Robinson for 401. The case had been tried at York, and a verdict entered for the plaintiff, subject to the opinion of the Court. The defendant lent Birch, in 1830, the sum of 401., to be rep ild in a few months. Robinson, when the time had expired, wrote a letter, re questing payment, which not being complied with, on the 10th of September, 1831, he wrote another letter, com plaining of the delay, and telling him he must have the money within a few weeks or he should put the case into the hands of an attorney. In October the money was paid, and on the liith of November Birch was arrested, at the suit of Raynard, the plaintiff, and afterwards went through the Insolvent Court. It was now contended that the case did not come under the 30th section of the In solvent Act (which stated that if an insolvent volun tarily pay money to a creditor within three months of his insolvency, the payment is fraudulent) as the insolvent took his own time to pay the money, and no proceedings ever took place. The COURT said they must take the money to have been paid in consequence of the pressure upon the insol vent by the defendant's letter, as the letter demanded pay ment within a few weeks, and it appeared that the money was paid within three weeks of the date of that letter.— Verdict entered for the defendant. COURT OF KING'S BENCH-(THIS DAY.) EVERETT V. STEWART. A rule for a new trial in this case having been obtained on a former day by Mr. Sergeant Storks, Mr. KELLY to-day showed cause against it. The cause bad originally been tried before Lord Lyndhurst, and afterwards before Mr. Baron Vaughan ; upon the latter occasion the Jury had been locked up for fifteen hours without being able to come to any decision, and in the morning (Sunday) they applied to the Learned Baron to discharge them. They were then told by his Lordship that he could not discharge them, that he was then going to church, and they must be again locked up, and that on the Monday morning a medical man should be sent to them to ascertain if their health was endangered, adding it would he desirable that they should dismiss from their mind all prejudice, and yield themselves only to convic tion and conversion, by a discussion with their fellows. Shortly after this advice was given the Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff. It had been argued in support of the rule that the Jury had been improperly influenced by the observa tions of the Learned Judge; but he (Mr. Kelly) submitted that those remarks were most proper, as tending only to keep the minds of the Jury free from improper bias or prejudice. Mr. Sergeant STORKS and Mr. ANDREWS contended in support of the rule, that the Jury were completely ex hausted, and that it was the fear of the consequences of longer confinement that made them bring in the verdict which they bad done. The Court decided, that the Learned Baron who had tried the cause, had not exceeded the fair rules in giving his caution to the Jury, and that therefore the rule mus• . be discbarged.—Rule discharged.

"This folio of four pages, happy work." tot The arrival yesterday of an Express Edition valuable Journal has enabled the Dublin neWOPPI this morning to transmit to all parts of the king o f interesting intelligence which it contained nearly t, four hours soon e r than it was anticipated. Alres.l4, the quid nuncs of this city discussed the meri ts Ana, " rits of Lord Althorp's budget, and arrived at contoofty nearly similar to those entertained on the other side channel,—that the Reforming Ministry, hosvever and consi'tent, are very tardy in their work s of 3.°e o i l jt; tion. This seems to be the general feeling, however, from many shades of opinion. Some ti ° t ask, is the boon, such as it is, is yet done for the country; others say, that witll spcnge more cannot be safely ventured upon' °,, t i , e o l sent state of foreiKn and domestic difficulties; sv",7o thinking the Chancellor of the Exchequer's rhersoi O'Connell on this point equivocal.
