LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 6, 1831.

In the House of Lords last night Lord
ABERDEEN again brought forward the question
of Portugal, and the late seizure of the Portu-
guese ships by the French Admiral, which he
denounced as an unlawful act, and contrary to
the established rules of nations. The Noble
Earl's speech on this occasion was of the usual
dimensions, and of the usual calibre, that is to
say, exceedingly long and exceedingly prosy ; as
it began, so it ended, in nothing, on the good old
principle, ex niltilo nil fit. The Marquis of
LONDONDERRY distinguished himself, as is his
wont whenever he gets on his legs. His Lord-
ship had the good luck to find another mare's
nest. It is really surprising how ingenious some
great folks are ! In the House of Commons,
after a tedious discussion on the Liverpool Elec-
tion, the House resolved itself into a Committee
on the Reform Bill, and got as far as the 44th
clause. We congratulate Ministers, we congra-
tulate the country, on this satisfactory progress.
it will have a very beneficial effect on the minds
of the community, who have the measure so
much at heart.

The accounts received yesterday afternoon and
to-day from Poland are more flattering than
they have been for some time past. There seems
to be little reason to doubt the defeat of the
Russian General RUDIGER, and the consequent
retreat of Marshal PASKEWITSCH from Warsaw
—if these reports be, as we firmly believe they
are, true, and the Poles can only hold out till
the rainy season has set in, Poland will regain
her independence, and this despite the mani-
festoes of NICHOLAS, and the scandalous inter-
ference of the Cabinet of Berlin. With regard
to the insurrection in the Russian military
colonies, of which the Paris Journals make
mention, it appears to have originated in the
proposed new conscription of the EMPEROR,
of four men out of every 500 souls, which,
reckoning the population of the Russian empire
at only 50,000,000 will make a levy of 400,000
men. This levy, we suppose, is intended
as a practical answer to the remonstrances or
France and England, that the EMPEROR would

suspend operations against the Poles. The Em-
peror NICHOLAS is always more profuse in his
professions of moderation when he is organizing
his entire army. We do not forget his conduct
toward Turkey, which was of the same character :

VIENNA, AUG. 23.—We are still in anxious expecta-
tion of news from Poland. Considering how near the
hostile armies are to each other, it really seems that the
pause in the military operations must be caused by nego-
ciations. Private letters affirm that they are already far
advanced, and must soon come to a conclusion. It is also
affirmed that in case of an arrangement between the belli-
gerent parties on the basis of the independence of Poland,
Prince Czartoryski will be placed at the head of the
Government in the name of the Emperor of Russia. If
this should really happen it would be a new proof of the
magnanimity of the Emperor, as Prince Czartoryski, who
was always distinguished and loaded with favours by the
Russian Court, Las by no means been grateful, but has
dune every thing to encourage the resistance of his country-
men to the Russians. This, however, may be one of the
improbable reports that are daily circulated. The dis-
turbances and excesses of the peasants in Hungary con-
tinue ; they have ill-treated Noblemen and their officers,
plundered the castles of Counts Zapary and Czaki, and in
some instances been guilty of great cruelties. I❑ order to
check this insurrection of the peasantry, two regiments of
infantry have been sent from Gallicia, and three others are
ordered from this city.
The debates in the French Chambers on the address
convince us that the present French Ministry will remain,
and that peace will be preserved. The cessation of hos-
tilities in Belgium is also satisfactory to the friends of
peace, and though some look with suspicious eyes on the
great readiness of France to hasten to the assistance of
the neighbouring State, and do not conceal their fears for
the consequences, should the French troops not return
speedily to France, most persons are convinced, that so
long as M. Casimir Perier is at the head of the Council,
nothing will be done contrary to the engagements into
which he has entered.

VIENNA, AvG. ijesty the Emperor came
yesterday from Schonbrunn to his imperial palace, where
his Majesty to-day gave the usual Wednesday's au-
dience. Yesterday after noon his Majesty accompanied by
only one of his Aide-de-camps, went to the glacis to view the
works carrying on there, in which thousands of labourers,
who are thrown out of work by the melancholy circum-
stances of the times, find employment and subsistence. In
the evening his Majesty visited the theatre, where he was
welcomed with the most enthusiastic expressions of affec-
tionate loyalty.
Letters from Bucharest of the 12th of August give ac-
counts from Constantinople of the 2d, stating that
18,000 houses, almost the whole of Pera, had been de-
stroyed by fire, that 60,000 persons were without shelter,
and had lost most of their property.
Letters from Semlin of the 15th say that the cholera
had been brought to that city by a ship bound from Pesth
to Belgrade, which arrived before Semlin on the 12th.
Only one person landed, and the next day twelve persons
were attacked by the disorder. It prevails also in Her-
mannstadt, the capital of Transylvania. In Ofen and
Pesth it has rather abated, though from fifty to sixty
deaths daily occur in each of those cities. It has almost
wholly disappeared at Lemberg. On the news that the
military were approaching to chastise the insurgents in
Hungary, it is said that some of their parties assembled
near Harmsfalva.

The Vienna Court Gazette says that Drs. Zhubea
and (Aerial, who were sent to Russia and Gallicia to ob
serve the cholera, and who have now returned, have de-
clared on an accurate examination that the six persons
brought into the general infirmary at Vienna are by no
means affected by Oriental cholera, but with a disorder
common here and essentially different, and that there is
every reason to expect their recovery.
CRACOW, AUG. 19 —We have learnt the removal of
of General Skrzynecki, and the appointment of Dembinski
in his room : but nothing decisive seems to have taken
place. Both in Warsaw and the army there appears to
he two parties—one for submission, the other for fighting
to the last extremity. Paskewitsch had been ever since
the 6th with the whole army on the right bank of the
Bzura, and the Poles behind Rawka. General Rudiger
with his corps was at Ninemiasto, on the Piliza, and
Prince Adam of Wurtembeig on his march to Radom had
reached Ibza, which little town is said to have suffered
severely, as the inhabitants opposed the entrance of the
Russians.
