FRE A Gil PAPERS

(From Galignancs Messenger of Tuts;lay.l
Extract of a letter from Frankfort,-d4ted Angtifit
17 :—" Commercial letters from Vienna, received
this morning by estafette, state that in consequence
of the neglect of one of the sentinels of the cordon
sanitafte,a journeyman carpenter from Hungary was
enabled to reach his native village, at about three
leagues from Vienna. lie very soon after displayed
all the symptoms of the Asiatic cholera. The sen-
tinel was immediately tried by a court-martial, con-
demned, and executed within twenty-four hours.
The alarm has in consequence greatly increased, lest
the disease should reach the capital, and the road
to Lintz begins to be covered with travellers leaving
Vienna. The present topic of discus::ion in our di-
plomatic circles is a note said to be addressed by the
Cabinet of St. Petersburgh to those of Vienna and
Berlin, It is reported to Lea detailed :gatemen: of
the sacrifices in men and money made by Russia in
her endeavours to stifle the insurrection of the
Poles. The amount is so considerable, that every
one is surprised that the resources of the empire are
not exhausted. The conclusion of the statement is,
that after the enormong sacrifices made by Russia
for the common interest of all legitimate sovereigns,
she expects that the two Cabinets will join her in
her jut endeavours. The effect produced by this
note is riot known ; but there are some persons who
conceive that it is a prclude to concesiious which
Nicholas intends to make to the Poles, in order to
put an end to a ruinous war, arid at the same time
to induce his allies to employ their influence with
tie latter to accede to accommo:lation upon reason-
able terms."
Letters from Vienna state that the cholera morbus
has broken out at Bruch, four leagues from that
capital. The Emperor of Austria has quitted
Vienna, and shut himself up with all his family and
all the Ambassadors in his Palace at Schoenbrunn.
Giobo.

The Augsbuig Gazelle has the following, dated
Berlin, August 13 :—" Our politicians assert that
peace cannot be maititained, and that war is una-
voidable ; but they at the same time confess that
our moral and physical strength is very inadequate.
Of the ;:.:0,000,000 which had been aniaised at the
Treasury, there are only tire remaining, and the

greater part of the army is on the frontiers of Po-
land. According to reports which arrived yesterday
from General Kiafft, symptoms of the cholera have
brol:ti Out in that army, in consequence of which
the troops of General Gielgud, who had hitherto
been free from the disease, begin to be disorderly,
alleging the fear of being infected. It was intended
to send these troopq, after having performed their
quarantine, into the interior, and employ thn men
in repairing the roads. The officers were to be
quartered iu the different towns of Eastern Prussia.
All the troops here have again received orders to
hold themselves ready to march. It is said that a
courier has been sent after Prince Albert to the
Hague, to call him back to Berlin,"
We learn from \Vurtzburg, that the inhabitants
of that town have followed the example set them by
the I lungarians, and addressed a petition to the King
of Bavaria in favour of the Poles, entreating hint to
take measures to insure their independence as a
nation. They offer to embark their lives and for-
tut:es in this struggle between I:berty and tyranny ;
and inquire who, if the Poles are subdued, will pro-
tect themselves against Ran.sian despotism ; that
war which is spreading terror throughout the civi-
lized world, and the indiction of the plague which
follows in its train ? If treaties preventel his M 4.•
i,sty from yielding to their prayers, they entreat him
to aglow them as individuals to exert themselves in

so noble a cause. They hope that the King, by
cons• nting tacitly, if not openly to their• wishes, will
prove that the national spirit ►s not enchained as in

those countries win-re the inhabitants are but serfs,
having no other will than that of their lords, and

where the treaties that bind Cabinets and Govern-
ments at the same time enervate the people.
The Emperor of Austria has lately concluded an
arrangement with the Sovereign Princes and free
towns of Germany, for ieciprocally delivering up de-
serters and refractory conscripts.
The King of Prussic is said to have de,:lared, that
. .

if the cholera reachrs Berlin, he will immediately
withdraw the cordon sanitaire, the expences of
which are too burdensome, amounting to no less
than 200,000 thalers, or nearly 80,000 f. per day.
Bx•ract of a private letter of the 15th inst., tram
Berlin :—" We learn from Tilsit, that lately about
50 Polish soldiers, with several office's, made an at-
tempt to escape from the camp at Zickamechnen,
but were obi ged by the cordon, with which they are
surrounded, to fall back. Several muskets were
fired, and one of the Polish soldiers wounded. Pro-
ceedings have bee❑ commenced against such of the
Poles as were implicated in this affair. It is as-
serted that their swords have been taken from the
ollieer,;, who had hitherto been allowed to wearthem."
According to a. letter from Vienna, there are no

rower than Urtween 20,000 and 30,000 workmen in

that capital without employ. The Government have
employed some cf them upon the roads and embank-
ments. Every means are taken to exclude foreign

workmen.

We announced a few days ago a hostile meeting
in Vie Buis de Boulogne between General Sebas-
tiani, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and General La-
marque, arising out of a hostile, speech of the latter
in the Chamber of Deputie,, in which he represented
M. Lebeau, Belgian Minister for Foreign Affairs,
its the Sebastiani of Belgium. The seconds present
on this occasion, General Jacqueminot and M. de
Rumigny, were those chosen by General Sebactiani,
whose adversary expressed himself satisfied with
their presence alone, and declined appoint rig any on
his own behalf. The affair having been arranged
without any shots being exchanged, a detailed ac-
count of the circumstances attendant upon the
in-
tended duel wa3 published by the Tribune, the te-
nour of which betrayed on the part of General
Sebastiani's seconds more anxiety to settle the diffe-
rence without fighting than is usually considered
consistent with the honour of the principal whom they
are called upon to represent. A letter was in con-
sequence addressed to the. Editor of the Tribune by
General Jacquemicot and M. de Remigny, in which

hey contradict a great number of the Circumstances
stated in the report of that Journal, and enter into
an explanation which General Lunarque interpreted
as unfavourable to himself. Another meeting in
consequence took place yesterday morning in the
Bois de Boulogne, Admiral de Riutly acting as the
second of General Sebastiani, and 'General Harispe
as that of General Lamurque. Two pistol shots
having been exchanged without injury to either
party, the accords interfered, and the affair was
amicably settled.
A deplorable event happened on the 20,11 instant
at Havre. Twenty-five men, who had suddenly
stepped into one of the boats which serve as a ferry
when the bridge at the bar is drawn up, sunk with
the boat, which had come in contact with the anchor
of a vessel just arrived, and every one perished.

(PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.)
BRUSSELS, AUG. 20.—1 t is generally believed
that the French army will occupy the most impor-
tant fortresses, at least till France shall have been
repaid the expences of the putting an army of
50,000 men on the war establishment.
Notwithstanding ali the denials of certain journals
at Brussels, it is probable that this expedition,which
has been solely directed to maintain Belgian policy,
will have to be paid fur by Belgium, at least the
greater portion of it.
There were 800 Dutch wounded in the hospitals
of Tirlemont : some still remain there. The French
army is in excellent health.

PARIS, AUG, 22.—Yesterday evening the Russian
Legation despatched a courier to St. Petersburgh.
An extraordinary courier from the French Am.
bassador at Vienna arrived yesterday at the office of
the Minister for Foreign Affa'rs. The contents of
the despatches have not transpired.
It appears, says a journal, that there exists an or-

It is observed in this petition that the . v.-Pof

REFORM COMMITTEE AT GUILDHALL'

Yesterday the Committee sat at Guildhall pursuant i°
adjournment. A good deal of conversation, we are givt;
„
to understand, took place on the subject of the Re°l.(
Bill, and souse surpris,! was expressed at the conduct
Alderman Venables in voting for the amendment Of tl"i
Marquis of Chandos. The Committee considered tis
',
whatever might be the opinion which Alderman Vrnabllel,
experience and knowledge of the details of the Bill i
pressed him with, the quarter front whence the au'eti
went issued was of itself sufficiently suspicious to 09frke t
the worthy representative pause before he broke his Ple?
to tie Livery. They expressed regret that the wcrt'
Alderman seemed to have forgotten that he had aule°„jlf
proud-ed to vote with his Majesty's Ministers all 61;
the Reform Bill; that whatever objections might natal's'
mad inevitably arise to any of the details, all idea of 01;11
sitiun should be merged in the great object itself, and $.
-local advantages be waved in consideration of the P°lll
good. They felt that his Majesty's Ministers wr
strenuously exerting themselves to advance the .
deliberations upon which were necessarily tedious
count of the enormous and complicated machinery
Alderman VENARLES did not recollect that hell!
a promis,a of implicit adherence to every clause wi
Majesty's Ministers might propose.
Several of the Members declared that the coedi
the worthy Aldermsn's election was, that he shot
deviate at all from the course which his Majesty's N
had set out upon ; that he should sacrifice his
judgm,int as to local interests and advantages, in
expedite the passing of the Bill.
Alderman VzNaesi.Es said, that taking it for ,
that he had made an unconditional promise, he did fl°
consider it a violation of his duty to vote for f;
amendment of which so considerable a majority orA
proved, and which appeared to him to be an impllrtafii!
improvement of the Bill itself and an act of justice to
great [Trois of the people. He really felt it a point `rot
conscience to vote upon that occasion, not so much again
his Majesty's Ministers as in favour of persons who ought
not to be excluded from the constituency.
The Committee, we understand, so forcibly urged tAille,
necessity of a more strict observance upon the part of "d
Merman Venables of the great condition which they Its,
founded their choice of representatives upon, as to deal
from the worthy Ablerman au assurance that there should
be no further cause of complaint.
The Committee, after having expressed their firtuct,t
reliance upon the integrity, good feeling, and energy of bjl
Majesty's Government, and their perfect gratification at
the line of conduct which the Livery had adopted, o°t'
withstanding the disapprobation of a few Right Honour'
able and Honourable blockheads, separated.

We understand that the Sussex militia are
under orders for Ireland.—Brighton Gazette.

was on Wednesday last burned to the ground, along 011
most of the furniture that was in the house; the library'
however, is said to be all saved. The fire is thought to
have originated in a joist, that extends to one of thelbiO3,l
neys. It broke out in the upper part of the house, 31 I
burned from one O'clock on Wednesday till Thursd#4,
sun-rise, when the whole was totally consumed.
house had been newly painted, and in order to put away°l',
disagreeable smell, sll the windows and doors were le
open, so that when the fire broke out it raged with unOrY
trouliable fury. Though all in the neighbourhood ti'vr",
collected, their efforts were useless. It is a fortunate Cir.;
cumatance, connected with this melancholy affair, that
large quantity of new furniture, intended for the hou''''
did not arrive at Lochgoilhead, on its way to Aidingilvt
until Thursday. This serious fire will, in the mean tide?

THE STANDARD NOVELS.--ThiS work 1,7
now become, as we predicted, almost as great a favour'tg
with the town as the Waverley Novels. The last number,
contains the whole of Mr. Coorca's beautiful WI
" The Last of the Mohicins." The Spectator thus eke', '
racterizes this production :—" The Last of ' the Mohican'',
is a well-known and admirable view of the principle
which guided, and the feelings which animated, tr
Indian in the latter days of his glory. It is one of 0.. e,
most nolde and spirited-stirring views that was ever taken
of a portion of perishing humanity. There is nothing ths
is preserved to us of Greece and Rome which surpOiel
some of Coorim's pictures of Indian fidelity, endurance'
sagacity, and noble self abandonment. The last Of ebd
Mohieins himself has features of nobleness which, when
once impressed on the mind of the reader, can never bet
forgotten." The nest number, to be published on t'Ae 19r
September, wi.'l contain MISS JANE PORTER'S poPul'i
Romance " The Scottish Chiefs," with additional note'' I
and a new introduction written expressly for this editio:;
with illustrations from drawings, by M'Cusi, en,raYe
by ROLLS.

Not long ago, CA RAI ICH A EL, the ventrilo'
way performing to crowded houses in Iladdingtl
and one day he stopped a woman in the streets, who 19
an infant in her arms, patted and praised its bonnie 1,3 b„

opportunity tunity to be lost ; and immediately a voice 1""
shrill, and sweA—aye, as sweet as the single-stringed notes
of PAGANI NI, or Tommy Puck's, when his throat with
fiddle-s•rings was lined—exclaimed, ''mother, "'Lae
a lee! ye ken I can speak weel eneugh, if ye wad let lue'
and ye ken boo ye feared me when 1 tell'd lather about tb

she well might, and, after muttering, "Preserve us! Pre,
serve ty, ! the man's a warlock, and has witched the welt",
crossed the street, and disappeared as fast as her trembil
limbs could carry her,
