EXPRESS FRONI PARIS.

-from the Times.)
We have just received, by express, the Paris papers of
Saturday (morning and evening), and the Messaper des
Chamfers and the Gazette de Frunce, dated Sunday.
By the same convey anev we have received letters and pa-
pers from Berlin of the 20th in.t. ; Bologna, of the 17th ;
and Warsaw of the 15th. Tle3 Perlin State Gazette,
of the 20th, adds little to et.:r Polish news. It, however,
expresses some misgiving for having published an article
on the 12th, which hinted that mediation would be po-
litic tietween Russia and Poland. This would imply that
the Court of Prussia, at least if it had ever entertained
the intention to mediate, had now abandoned it.
The Warsaw papers of the 15th contain accounts of
some small successes of their brave soldiers against de-
tached Russian troops; the weather continued dreadful,
and no nailit;.ry operation on a large scale could be then
attempted. General Giesmar had the command of the
-nearest Russian corps in the I:ne of Praga ; and General
Diebitsch was at Garwolin, which is 15 leagues distant
from his last fighting position. The distribution of his
corps, it was thought indicated a movement toward the
south ; but in the state of the roads it was believed that a
fortnight or three weeks must elapse before he could at-
tempt to strike any very important blow. The Russians
Lad burned a village as they retired from their retrench-
ments at Grochow. The cause assigned, on the one side,
is barbarian cruelty ; on the other, that it contained a
good deal of entrenching apparatus, which it was incon-
venient to remove.

Private letters from Warsaw of this date do not-entirely
ovneur in the sanguine expectations of defence held out by
some of the journals. They state that the weather was
Lecoming more settled—the swell of the Vistula subsiding
--the reinforcements of Diebitsch not far distant—his
large pontoon nearly finished—in fret, his orerwhelmitg
means in proximate concentration, Some of these letters
contradict the statements in the journals of cruelty to-
wards the Polish prisoners, and state, as proof., that the
Russian Commander, were now, at least, acting with
soma lenity, tl•at General Diehitsch had just sent back
Colonel Spendowski, who had been badly wounded before
Praga, in order that he should have the assistance of his
friends. The gallant Colonel, it is true, was in no con-
dition
to resume hostilities, for his leg had been amputated.
General Geismar had also treated his wounded prisoners
with humanity.
The Bologna Precursore of the 17th is filled with
high sounding promises of patriotic resistance ; it contains
proclamations to the National Guards to die in defence of
their independence. The Bolognese do not at that date
mention the appearance in their territory of any Austrian
troops, but it will be seen that the telegraphic despatch in
the French papers states that event to have occurred on
the ?Oth. On the 17th, according to our Bolognese
papers, the Provisional Government had given the com-
mand-in-chief of their army to General Carlo Zucchi,
who had retired from Modena with the little corps of that
state, when General Frimont's Austrian detachment hid
entered it. The decree investing this officer with the com-
mand is described as having been received with great en-
thusiasm by the cit,zens of Bologna. There is a long
article in the Precursore, showing that France ought in-
stantly to enforce in behalf of Italy her avowed policy of
non-intervention.
We have not room for more that the following extracts
from Le Temps:_.
" A telegraphic despatch from Lyons gives the follow-
ing news, dated en the 19th instant, from Italy:—
" The Austrian, have advanced detachments upon the
road of Ferrara to Bologna. They have pushed on as far
as Couto, where they have re-established the Papal autho-
rity. Every thing indicates that they will entirely oc-
cupy the insurgent provinces.
" The King of Sardinia continues in the same state.
His malady is very serious. The Queen signs for him,
but without the title of Regent.
" No sign of trouble i❑ Piedmont.'

" The rep ,rt of the Commission charged with the in-
quiry into our financial state will he made on Monday next.
" An Evening Paper announces that Monday's Moni-
tear will contain the plan of a loan of fifteen millions of
renter, five per cent. From our inquiries we have reason
to believe this announcement to be incorrect."

CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES—SITTING OF Maacit 26.
The sitting commenced at the usual hour, two o'clock,
when the Chamber immediately proceeded on the Order
of the Day, the report of the Commission on petitions pre-
sented to this House. None of these petitions were of
sufficient consequence to be mentioned;
M. de Monet, the reporter of the Commission charged
with the eAatniriation of a Bill presented to the Chambers
for the suppression of riotous mobs, then ascended the tri-
bune to read the report of the Commission, and propose
some amendments. He then said that they considered it
a crime in itself to assemble in mobs on the public ways,
independent of the motive of the assembling, and proposed
that at the first reading of the " Sommation" (Riot Act),
all arms found upon any persons whatsoever in the mob
should be confiscated; and after the third reading all per-
sons arrested, whether rioting or only present in the mob,
may be condemned to one year's imprisonment, without
any particular charge being brought against them. Some
other amendments were proposed. After these amend-
ments were read, the Chamber proceeded to the develop-
ment of M. Gaetan Murat's proposition to repeal the law
passed in 1816, interdicting the entrance of the French
territory to the family of Napoleon. He said that it was
not consonant with the dignity of the nation to be afraid
of the return of the Buonaparte family to the throne of
France; besides that it was not now to be considered
when Napoleon had been dead so long, andtliathson had
been brought up in the spirit of the Austrian school,
that
it could be even the wish of that family that he should ever
again aspire to any such ascendancy; and as the Chamber
bad rejected the project of assailing the elder branch of the
Bourbons, he did not think they could refuse to retract the
law of 1816. . .

M. Agier, in opposition to the motion of M. Murat'
charged the republican party with want of real patriotism,
and was persuaded, from the observation he had made
during the late riots, of the name of Napoleon 11. being
associated with that of the republic, that it was not by
any means in the pretended spirit of generosity under

The above analysis shows plainly how the case would
have stood had it been decided by those Members of the
House of Commons who can, with any degree of propriety,
be called the representatives of the people of Great Britain.
Had the decision of this question been left in their hands,
it appears that the numbers would have stood thus:—For
the second reading of the Bill, 221,—against it, 136. As,
however, the victory has been gained, and the ultimate suc-
cess of this great measure can scarcely admit of the shadow
of a doubt, less regret may be felt that those whose selfish
interests were, on this occasion, placed in opposition to the
public welfare, had not the decency to withdraw, since it
has afforded an opportunity, on one side of the question at
least, for an exhibition of public virtue and self-sacrifice
scarcely to he met with in the brightest pages of hi.tory.
This occasion presents the opportunity of reminding the
electors of the United Kingdom that a time may come,—
and if it comes, it will come right speedily,—when the mis-
represented constituents of these 136 Members who com-
pte the minority of the representatives of the people will
be called upon to do their duty to themselves and to their
country. Let them be prepared for this. The division on
the Ileforna Bill is in itself a strong practical proof of the
importance of individual exertion, and if, at a general elec-
tion, one of that 136 is allowed by his constituents to be
returned without a contest, the Bill may be lost, and those
who may have slumbered at their posts will deserve the
consequences.

Persons arriving from all parts of the country
declare, that the enthusiasm in favour of Reform in the
provinces very far exceeds any thing of the same kind
which they witness in the metropolis.—Morning _Herald.

In the House of Commons, on Friday night,
Sir HENRY HARDINGE, after declaring that Lord Joint
RUSSELL'S Bill is a " revolutionary measure"—" that it
changes the whole Constitution of England," Sze., very
naively remarked, " The change in 1688 was called a re-
volution ; but, after all, it was only a change of dynasty
the substitution of the House of Bitusswicx for the
StuAivrs." We should be inclined to speak of the Reform
Bill itself much the same style. It has, indeed, been
called revolutionary; but it is, in fact, nothing inure
than a change in the representation, a substitution of po-
pulous towns for broken doorways and old walla.
