GERMAN PAPERS.

NIMEGUEN, JUNE 20.—We learn from Cleves that the
Commission appointed to investigate the affair of the dis-
turbances which occurred here on the 24th of March, has
passed sentence on fifty-five of the persons accused, most
of whom it has sentenced to one years' imprisonment.
There remain thirteen others, against whom more serious
charges are brought.
MAESTRICIIT, JUNE 25. M. Commissary Bloernasto
arrived here yesterday ; he was appointed to proclaim the
Government of the Netherlands in the district of Valten-
burg. He is highly pleased wi,h the peaceable conduct of
the inhabitants, on which account a detachment of Hes-
sians from Voels, returned to that fortress yesterday. The
Dutch and Belgian Commissioners have arrived here.
General Prisse, the Belgian Commissioner, wishes
to have a house for a year, and he expects six Belgian staff
officers to draw the maps and plans for fixing the frontier
line. Hence it should seem that the operations of this
commission will be of some considerable duration. In
Limburg every thing is quiet. Orders for dismantling
the fortress of Venloo are daily expected. This morn-
ing a beginning. was made with the remosing of the can-
non from the outworks of this fortress. The Bel-
gian Commissioners have had to-day audience of the Baron
Van der Capellen, Conmander. in-Chief of this fortress.
AUGSBURG, JUrE 28.—8 y some circumstances, for
which we cannot account, we have not received till to day
our letters direct from Alexandria, dated sth and 6th
June, though they must have been brought by the same
steam-boat the arrival of which we announced four days
ago. The Journal of the Austrian Lloyd's, (published
at Trieste) has news from Alexandria, which is also no
later than June 6. All their letters announce that Haiiz
Pacha had taken possession of some Turkish villages, and
that all kinds of reports were spread to deter the inhabi-
tants from recruiting, or to encourage them to join the
Turks. The accounts in the Royal Austriaco, say that,
" Two expresses from Magrim Bey, had brought word
that five squadrons of his Arabian cavalry had been
attacked and driven back at Telbeschir by the Turkish
cavalry, which was much superior in number, and
supported by infantry, Immediately on receiving these
accounts Ibrahim Pacha set out with seven Regiments of
Cavalry and twelve batteries of Horse Artillery, and had
already arrived at Telbair, whence he writes that he had
given orders to Soliman Pacha immediately to follow him
with the main body of the army." The letters say,
" Every possible exertion is making to reinforce the army
in Syria, and Egypt will soon be without any troops.
Conventions have been made with the Bedouins to furnish
irregular Cavalry, and as they are paid in advance they have
immediately sent 4,000 from the country between Cairo
and the Red Sea, and 2,000 from the desert about Alex-
andria, which are now on their march to Syria ; 6,000
more are to follow. The troops in Candle, 800 in num-
ber, and 4,000 Candiot Turks, enlisted for the irregular
troops are to go to Syria. The same activity prevails in
Northern Arabia, where all the Maugrebis and 7,000 Be-
douins, of different tribes, are partly to join Kerschil Pacha,
partly to go to Damascus. It is thought that the Kurd
Arabs between Medina and Mecca, who have hitherto
been always at war with Mehemet Ali, will now join him,
allured it seems by a report that they will be conducted to
Stamboul, of the immense riches of which city they have
the Most extravagant notions. By ample promises and by
money the Druses seem to be wholly gained by Ibrahitn.
He has promised the soldiers, with whom he is popular,
that all the booty they make shall be their own. Nothing
in short is neglected to induce all the tribes to support Me-
hemet Ali in this most decisive struggle. Ibrahim, in a
proclamation to the army, says that the Sultan demands
such an or.ormous tribute from Syria and Egypt that if it
were paid these countries would be for ever ruined, &c.
Extract of a letter from Odessa, 15th ult., quoted by the
Commerce :—" The Minister of War has ordered 30,000
men to be detached from the army of the sonth, and
marched to Kilia, where transports are waiting to carry
them into Asia. A division from the squadron of Admiral
Oumanetz has arrived off Bujukdere to protect the landing
of these troops. On the other hand, General Rajewsky
has received directions to assemble the whole of his corps
of 25,000 men at Anapa, and hold them in readiness to
embark at a moment's notice, without, in the meantime,
acting against the Abases, upon whom the division of
General Grabbe is to make war. One of the Emperor's
aides-de-camp, who is attached to the army of the Black
Sea, is gone to Erivan, where he is to fill the post of chief
of the staff of General Patowski, who is there in command
of a corps of 40,000 men, destined to march with the Per-
sian army against Kurschid Pacha. From these measures
it will be seen that Russia has resolved to act simul-
taneously at all points. It is already known that
General Duhamel has entered into a treaty with the Shah,
agreeing that the Persian army shall march with the
Russians against Egypt, and that, in return, the Russians
shall assist in reducing the rebels of Herat. The army of
the south, along the lines of the Pruth and the Danube,
will be, even after the detaching of the 30,000 men above
mentioned, 90,000 strong, including the reserve cantoned
at Kalish. In Poland, Volhynia, Lithuania, and Cour-
land, there are 120,000 men, 80,000 of whom are to be
collected at Kalish. In the environs of Moscow 150,000
men are collected, under pretence of a review or represen-
tation of the battle of Borodino, but really to keep the Don
Cossacks in awe, and check any revolutionary attempts
that may be made in their country. Besides these masses,
Russia has on foot the Irsperial Guards, amounting to be-
tween 35,000 and 40,000, the Grenadier Corps, containing
25,000, and other peculiar corps."

VOLUNTARY DUMBNESS.—There is now at
Marseilles a man who, for reasons unknown, has con
demned himself to perpetual silence. The papers of
that city, after stating that neither his relatives nor the
police have been able to extract one word from him, ob-
serve that his singular resolution of playing the dumb
was adopted in the last century by a young lady of Pro-
vence, of the De Julban family, who, being married
to a Marquis, never expressed herself otherwise than
by signs, from the day on which her ungallant lord
interrupted her in the middle of a conversation, and before
a large assembly, with " Madame, taisez-vous, vous ne
savez le que vous dites." To the hour of her 'death she
never uttered one word, though her husband daily implored
her to talk from morning to night rather than per-
severe in a silence which perpetually reminded him of
his brutal interruption. The second husband of the cele-
brated Madame de Steel displayed more good humour
when, as is said, being at a large dinner-party, he was
visited by his lady with the very ungracious apostrophe
—" Monsieur, taisez vous et nourissea vous !"
The Nottingham Review pronounces a pane-
gyric on Mr. Fcargus O'Connor, of which the following
sentence is a specimen:—" As an agitator for the ascen-
dancy of democracy, Mr. O'Connor has not his equal;
possessed of talents of the highest order, he has devoted
them to the service of the people ; and chosen rather to
address the sons of poverty and oppression, than command
the attention and admiration of a listening senate."

The Dublin Evening Post speaking of the
" first of July" says—" We arc truly gratified to learn that
the accounts from the North are generally of the most tran-
quil and satisfactory character. The only exceptions have
reference to some assemblages of Orangemen in the neigh-
bourhood of Newry and Tanderagee ; but even in those
places it does not appear that any disturbance took place,
owing, no doubt, to the judicious forbearance of the people.
The proclamation of the Lord Lieutenant, we have now
grounds for believing, produced the tranquillizing effect
anticipated by his Excellency, so far, at least, as relates to
the first Orange anniversary; and we earnestly hope, that
the good sense of the Orangemen will enable us tb con-
gratulate the country upon the same happy results in regard
to the Twelfth of July."
CHURCH RATES.—INSOLVENCY.—OR Thurs-
day in the Insolvent Debtors Court, John Michael D,ll
was opposed by Mr. Cooke, on the part of Mr. Saxby and
Mr. Stothert, the Churchwardens of Saint Michael's
parish, Bath. He was supported by Mr. Woodroffe. The
insolvent had been sued by the opposing creditors in the
Diocesan Court at Wells for 9s. 4d. for a Church-rate,

which he had refused to pay. Judgment had been obtained
and he had inserted in the schedule the Churchwardens as
creditors for 781., the amount of the rate and the costs.
It was alleged that the insolvent had put himself into
prison to clear his debts ; his business as a pork-butcher
was carried on by his brother ; he had come to London, and
was put into prison by a person named Ferrish, who, he
said, was a " tailor," but by the other that he was " a
helper" at a gin-palace. The insolvent said that his bill
was at home in the Fleet Prison. The Court entertained
a suspicion that it was a friendly proceeding. and required
the attendance of the alleged detaining creditor. The case
was adjourned.
PROCLAMATIONS OF OUTLAWRY.—Thurs-
day, Thomas Johnson, Esq., and Thomas Wood, Esq
held a County Court in Red Lion-square, when Mr.
Hemp, the officer, called upon the several defendants
whose names are subjoined. to surrender to the processes
existing against them on pain of being outlawed—William
Brown Kitchener, at the suit of Thomas Park ; William
Nicholas Cole, at William Edward Franks ; Henry Jeffries
Longeluse, at John Stevens Hopwood ; Hopkins Kilpin,
at William Benson Stones ; Richard Hamilton, at Edward
Leigh Pemberton ; Frederick Turner, at Christopher John
Pemberton and his wife ; John Charles Bettersworth Tre-
vanion, and James Trevanion Purnell Bettersworth Treva-
nion, at William Holloway ; the same at William Henry
Savage; John T. P. B. Trevanion, and John C. B. Tre-
vanion, at James Gibbs; the same at John Goddan ; the
same at William Martins; Thomas Acton Woolaston, at
George Hicks ; the lion. George William Loftus, com-
monly called Lord George Loftus, at George Smith ;
Alexander Campbell, at Right lion. Lord Rolle, Baron
Rolle ; James Pasmore, at John Light ; Thomas Ripon
Cleampton, at William Hempson ; William O'Brien
Hoare, at Thomas Hancock ; Robert Waller Poe, at Si-
mon Salter ; Daniel Fleming, at Thomas Ilawkins and
another; Hilliam Hatfield Gossip, at Thomas Helms;
Sir Charles Lyons Herbert, Knt., at Henry Clark; Charles
Du Pre, at Thomas Parke ; Henry Hope Warwick, at
Phillip Stuart F. Martin; Jahn Scriven, at same. None
of the above parties having obeyed the summons, the Court
adjourned until the Ist of August next.
THE LORDS' IRISH OUTIiAGES COMMIT-
TEE.—We understand that Sir William Somerville, Bart.,
M. P. for Drogheda, who had consented to be examined
by their Lordships, received, whilst in the Committe-room,
such uncourteous treatment, in the form of a cross-exami-
nation (we believe by Lord Brougham, who is doing his
best to help the Tories), that he immediately took up his
hat and left the room, to the no small astonishment, we
dare say, of the Committee, who, after considering what
should be done, sent him a message to request that he
would return, which he did ; when an ample apology was
made to him by the Chairman, Lord Wharncliffe, in the
name and on the behalf of the Committee.—lllartchestcr

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF COMMONS, JULY
_10.;

The SPEAKER took the Chair at the usual hour.

Petitions in favour of Mr. R. Hill's plan of penny
postage were presented by Mr.Wilbraham from Congle-
ton, Lord \\Torsley, from Buckingham, and Mr. V.
Smith, from Northampton.
Lord WORS LEY presented two petitions in favour
of the Government plan of education, and one pray-
inc, that foreign corn might be allowed to be ground
in bond for exportation.
Mr. BROTHERTON presented a petition from the
stuff manufacturers of Bradford, praying that care
might be taken to have the interests of this country pro-
perly represented in the ensuing meeting of the Commer-
cial League, to be held in Berlin.
Mr. G. PALMER presented a petition from the
Postmasters in Essex, praying for protection against
steam, by a reduction of the duty imposed upon their
trade.

Mr. O'CONNELL presented petitions from New
Ross and New Wexford against the monopoly of the
Bank of Ireland.
Lord G. SOMERSET presented a petition praying
for protection to, and an extension of, the Church in the
colonies ; and two petitions against the Government plan
of education.

The Marquis of Cholmondeley's Estate Bill was read
a second time.

Lord SANDON presented a petition from Mr. Wil-
liams, the Director of the Dublit. Steam-packet Com-
pany, praying that no' clause may be inserted in the
Shannon Navigation Bill to vitiate the agreement be-
tween that Company and the Grand Canal Company.
Mr. FINCH presented a petition from certain elec-
tors of the borough of Ludlow, praying that they may
be allowed to enter into recognizances to defend the
seat of Mr. Alcock.
Mr. WAKLE Y presented several petitions from
Finsbury in favour of a uniform penny postage ; a peti-
tion from a person named Richard M'Cormick, com-
plaining of having been dismissed from the army, and
offering to prove at the bar that a robbery in that de-
partment is perpetrated on the country to the ex-
tent of 200,0001. a year ; a petition from New-
castle in favour of the Ballot, &c., and praying
the House to withdraw its confidence from her
Majesty's present advisers—(Hear, hear, from Colonel
Sibthorp)—who by their hollow insincerity—(Hear,
hear)—broken promises, desertion of Reform, subser-
viency to foreign nations, and insidious designs against
their own countrymen, have proved themselves as un-
worthy the confidence of the House as of the people.—
(Hear, hear.)
Colonel SIBTHORP cordially supported the latter
part of the prayer of the petition.—(Laughter, and
cries of " Order.")
Mr. P. THOMSON presented a petition from the
silk•manufacturers of Manchester, praying that the

Committee of Supply on Monday next, he would move
an Address to her Majesty, in order to find out the
best means of communication between London and
Dublin. _ . .

.....
Mr. L ABOUC HERE presented papers. In doing
so, he begged leave to say, that he had been in error
yesterday in saying that Sir John Colborne had not
expressed any opinion respecting the continuation of
the powers of the Council of Lower Canada. In look-
ing over the despatches, he found the Gallant Officer
had expressed a very strong opinion on the point. He
had just laid it on the table, and he hoped it would lie
in a printed shape in the hands of Members to-morrow.
In answer to Mr. BAINES,
Mr. P. THOMSON said the approaching meeting
of the nations, comprising the Commercial League, had
been most anxiously considered by the Government. It
was not their intention to send an officer of the rank of
an envoy, but a gentleman would be there from this
country of commercial abilities, who would watch over
and inform the Government of what was necessary to
be done.
In answer to a question from Lord SANDON,
Lord PALMERSTON said the Government had not
lost sight of the claimants on the Portuguese Go-
vernment, and they would continue to press upon the
Portuguese Government the necessity of a speedy set-
tlement. He was not prepared to say anything respect-
ing the formation of the Commission, but he had re-
ceived no complaints respecting it, and he knew of two
claims which had lately been settled.
The NOBLE LORD obtained leave to bring in a
Bill for the suppression of the slave trade under the
Portuguese flag.
In answer to a question from Lord SANDON,
Sir J. C. HOB HOUSE stated that the Govern-
ment of India had shown every disposition to at-
tend to the recommendation of the Committee,
with respect to the salt monopoly ; and the alteration
that had taken place in conformity with the recommen-
dation appeared to work well. With respect to the in-
troduction of British salt into India, that was a totally

different question ; but he had no objection to lay before
the House any information that was in the possession
of the Board of Control on this subject.
On the Report of the Committee of Cuppty,
Mr. HUME asked on what day the subject .of the
Irish Bank was to be brought forward ? The Chancel-
lor of the Exchequer had promised to fix a day for the
consideration of this most important question.
Mr. P. THOMSON (in the absence of the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer) said his Hon. Friend had
better give the Right Hon. Gentleman notice.
Mr. HUME—Oh, I have often enough.
On the vote for the expenses of the Commissioners
for Insolvent Debtors,

Captain PECHELL said, the Commissioners for
Sussex had thought fit to hold their sittings at Lewes,
though the debtors were all confined at Horsham,
thirty miles off, thereby inflicting great additional
expense on the county. Ought this to be allowed?
Mr. F. MAULE said the matter should be con-
sidered.
Mr. 'F. DUNCOMBE asked when it was proposed
to proceed with the Poor Law Continuation Bill.
The answer of Lord JOHN RUSSELL was inau-
dible in the gallery.
METROPOLIS POLICE BILL.
On the Order of the Day being read for the House
resolving itself into Committee on the Metropolis Po-
lk e Bill,
Capt. WOOD said that the Right. Hots. Gentleman
opposite had promised to exempt certain of the county
districts from the operation of this Bill, but he had
hitherto neglected to do so. He wished to ask him
what course he intended to adopt.
Mr. F. MAULE :said he had introduced certain
clauses into the Bill which would have the effect of
exempting them distinctly from its operations.
Mr. HUME wished to ask the Noble Lord if her
Majesty's Government would consent to the proposi-
tion he bad made, some time since, that instead of
placing the payment of the police on the Consolidated
Fund, it should be made the subject of an annual
vote, as it was wanted. He understood that the
Chancellor of the Exchequer bad been willing to accede
to his proposition. The Bill had gone through Com-
mittee very late the other night, and he had not an
opportunity of proposing the introduction of a clause to
that effect. He wished to ask the Noble Lord whether,
as he was in the habit of ordering the police wherever
their services might be required, be did not propose the
expenses of this force should be voted annually, in the
ame way ass the army or the navy ? He did not object to
tho amount he wished the force to be maintained in an
an efficient state ; but be wished It- to be by annual
vote ; for instance, he was inclined to quarrel with the
proceedings at Birmingham, but at present he had not
the requisite information on the subject—but if this
were made the subject of an annual vote, all discus-
sions as to the conduct of the police could take place
at the same time. He wished to know if the Noble
Lord would agree to his proposition.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL considered that such a
course would be very inconvenient, and could not accede
to the proposition of the Hon. Gentleman.
Mr. HU ME would 'then ask the Noble Lord when
it would be most convenient to take the sense of the,
House on this subject, as lie was determined to do so.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that the best way for
the Hon. Member to bring the question forward, would
be to move for leave to bring in a Bill to repeal the Act
of Parliament constituting the police.
Mr. T. DUNCOMBE wished to ask the Noble
Lord, the Secretary for the Home Department; whether
the accounts in this Morning's Papers of the riots at
Birmingham and the conduct of the police were correct
or not. If they were, he thought there could be nothing
more disgraceful or unconstitutional than the conduct of
the police, and the sooner they were withdrawn from
Birmingham the better. The account stated that the
assembly was perfectly quiet, and that there was no
disposition whatever to riot till the police appeared—
that whenever the police had seen crowds assembled
they had commenced an indiscriminate attack. "
Lord M A HON—What paper ?
Mr. DUNCOMBE—The Morning Chronicle.
Lord JO Il N RUSSELL entirely disbelieved the
account.—(Hear, hear.) lie bad received letters from
the Mayor of Birmingham, whose statements were of an
entirely different nature, and it appeared that the town
was nearly restored to its ordinary state of quiet, and
that business was going on in its usual course.
Mr. DUNCOMBE—Then we are to understand
that no persons were wounded by the police ?
Lord J. RUSSELL said it was impossible to know
what might be the statements in the Morning Papers,
and therefore no positive contradiction could be given ;
but in the letters which he bad received there was no
mention of the circumstances to which the Hon:Member
had alluded.
Mr. WILLIAMS inquired if the Noble Lord had
any objection to state what accounts he had received.
Lord J. RUSSELL had stated on Monday that the
Magistrates had received information that large numbers
of persons were congregated together with bludgeons,
