ELECTION PETITION.

A petition was then presented, complaining of the late
return for Jedburgh and Dunbar.
Lord ALTHORP having moved that the House do
now adjourn,
The SPEAKER slid—Before I put the question of ad-
journment, I wish ti ascertain the opinion of the House
as to the hour at which I should come down here to-
morrow. I had some wish that the House should meet
earlier than a quarter before four o'clock, to-morrow being
the first day for private business ; and I was apprehensive
that it might press inconveniently if it were not com-
menced before the hour at which the House usual), meet-.
I now find that there is no pressure of private business,
and I wish therefore to avoid giving gentlemen the trouble
of coming down earlier than is necessary.—(Hear.)

The Clouse then adjourned to a Quarter heft.re Four
o'clock to-morrow (Priddy.)

The St. Petersburgh Journal has the fol-
lowing :—" According to intelligence from Persia, the
fate of D.Aoun PACIIA Of Bagdad is on the point of being
decided. The troops of the SULTAN are already near that
city, DAOUD PACIIA sent his own forces to meet them,
and a battle took place under Moussoul, in which the
Pacha sustained a total defeat, and has been obliged to
shut himself up in the citadel ; but all his attempts to de-
fend himself must be in vain, and he will be conapelled to
submit. The plague, after having ravaged the district of
Souleimanieh to Kurdistan, has passed on to Bagdad,
where it ragas with such violence that almost the whole oh
the inhabitants have deserted the town. Major TA yr.ort,
the British resident, has retired to Kermanschah."

The Journal des Debals designates the three
parties now in France as the Carlist party, the opposition
or republican-monarchy party, and the constitutional.ino-
narelly ploy. The first, it says, has no chance of meeting
with much success at the approaching elections ; the most
it can expect is the return of a few deputies, whose pre-
sencein the Chamber will be no evil to the country : their
talents will enlighten the discussions, and the revolution of
July is too pure to fear the presence of its enemies. The
second party wi!l, on the contrary, muster strong in the
Chamber, but the country sees so clearly the danger of the
rash innovating principles maintained by the opposition,
which would plunge the nation into instant war, that it
cannot be apprehended that the majority will be setected
from that party. The immense majority of Franceis at-
tached to the constitutional monarchy, in which alone it
sees the guarantee of peace, order, and prosperity. This
p arty must, therefore, inevitably obtain the ascendant at
the elections.

The hop-grounds at Orchard Portman, near
this town, now present a healthful and luxuriant appear-
ance, far beyond that which they have borne for several
years post. The Lines are strong and lofty, so touch so
that they are overtopping the poles, and begin to interlace
and form their shoots into graceful festoons. The fly is
only discernible on very minute inspection, and so rarely
are any to be seen, that not more than on one leaf out of
fifty poles are any visible, and then but very few. The
next fortnight wi!l, if favourable, place this interesting and
important product of agriculture out of reach of the mani-
fold chances of peril to which it is peculiatly subject. At
present the plantations could not look more decisively pro-
tnisingo.— Taunton Courier,

ACCOUNTS FROM POLAND.

The Gazette of Prussia, of the 14th, contains no ins
telligence from Poland later than the th instant.
Several articles of the Project of liaw were adopted on
the same day.
:It- Deputation sent by the D'et to General Skraynteia
bad performed its mission. The General received the De.
putation with the most lively expressions of gratitude; and
he even made some overtures, lihich are immediately to be
explained to the Chamber with closcd doors.
Count Paskewitz-Erivanski has been tian'ied by the Em—
peror Nicholas to succeed Marshal Diebitsch as COM'.
tnander-in-Chief of the army in Poland, who, it is isaidl„
has been completely disgraced.
This change of favour is only apparent not real, as the
Emperor had a particular regard fur General Diebitsch ;
so much so that he had declared him the only one of his
Generals capable of e:lecittine the duties of Commander.
in-Chief with success, and !tad said that he should con. .
eider any individual in the light of a bad subject who
made the least insinuation against his PrUsst'lan General.
However, a re-action of the Russian against the Ger-
man party, so long upheld by the Emperor, has forted tho
latter to abandon his favourite.

has
ni:•aused
Russia, and produced a moral disturbance, the influence of
which has extended even to the Palace of the Czars. For
some time it has been objected against Nicholas that he
conferred exclusive marks of confidence on Germans ;
they have, no doubt, been his most efficient and faithful
servants, iind the Emperor was pat ticularly aware he had
no occasion to apprehend that they would engage in con-
spiracies which have hurled so many of his prAdecessnrsi
from the throne.

Now that the Russian party has achieved a first victory
at the Court of St. Petersburgh, it is impossible to say
where it will end, or what extraordinary measures it may
exact from the Emperor. In our opinion the Poleg ttiust
gain by this change, which will no doubt curtail the int-,
perial authority, and excite amongst the Russian Nobility
a spirit of independence, which will, perhaps, bring with
it the recognition of Poland with its ancient limits.
(From Galignani's Messenger.)

Intelligence has been received by telegraph, that on
Saturday morning the King arrived at Phalsbourg, where
he reviewed the National Guards and the troops of the
line, and delivered a standard to a regiment of Hussars.
At noon he took his departure for Strasbourg. Ilia
Majesty was accompanied by an immense concour,e of the
people of all classes, and received with all the usual de-
monstrations of loyalty. In the evening the town was
illuminated. His Maj,sty received the congratulations of
the Princes of Baden, and the King of Wurtemberg was
expected.
Extract of a private letter from Milan, dated the 12th
instant :—" Bologna still continues to be occupied. by
Austrian troops, who also occupy two towns in Romagna,
and seven in the legations ; consequently Austria has not
complied with the demands of France. It was reported
here yesterday that the Austrian Ambassador at Rome had
applied to the Count de St. Aulaire for explanations as to
the French naval force that bad entered into the Mediter-
ranean, and that the answer of the French Minister had
excited alarm. A cow ier Irons Rome arrived here this
morning, and, after waiting three hours, returned to that
capital."

Ti e Prefect of the Seine has received the crosses and
medals of Ju!y, which are to be worn by those to whom
they have been awarded, and who will be assembled on a
given day to receive them. In the list are IS ladies.
(From the Journal des Debuts of Monday.)

The Polish Generalissimo has not been inactive in his
positions before Praga. He had been unremitting in hi 4
zeal and elliirts to fill up the chasm which the grape-shot
had left in the ranks of his army. Recruits ready trained
and armed have joined their brethren ; 3,000 horses have
been applied to repair late and former losses ; and on the
9th of June, the date of our last intelligence from War-
saw, the Poles counted the same number of combatants as
on the morriing of the battle of O•trolenka.
Those intestine divisions, those embarrassments of the
great empire, concealed with so much care, from Western
Europe, thanks to the censorship of the German Press, are
now coining to light. There is every likelihood that the
Poles will succeed.

(From the Journal du Commerce of Tuesday.)

The Paris loan was not conceded yesterday. Only oue
Company offered to take it at 85 ; but the I'refect would
not grant it under 88 francs, 50 centimes. Speculators
assert that this result, being made known on 'Change,
prevented the Funds rising. It is strange that the Ministry
did not, either yesterday or tl e day before, give the public
the information they had promised, through the Chamber
of Commerce.

Count Apponi sent for several refugees of the Lombardo-
Venetian kingdom, and invited them to return to their
country. The application and promises of the Ambassa-
dor were, however, without result.
Letters from Elsineur announce, in the most positive
manner, that several vessels coming from Russian posts,
that crossed the Sound, were infected by the cholera mor-
bus. Eight of them were found to have some of their
crews affected with that dreadful malady, and lost several
men. Several of those were bound to England.
(From the Courrier FranFais of Tuesday.)
The French Government have been informed from St.
Petersburgh that Marshal Diebitsch was replaced in the
chief command of the army of Poland by Count Paskewitch.
Count Paskewitch displayed considerable activity and
resoution in the late campaigns of Persia and Turkey.—
He particularly distinguished himself by those rapid ma-
meuvres which astonished the enemy, and by the celerity
with which he followed up his successes. It even appears
that he possessed the art of conciliating the inhabitants,
since, in his campaign of Turkey, be succeeded iu orga-
nising several Mahomedan regiments, who often marched
at the bead of his columns. But, on the other hand, be.
only had to contend with Persians and Asiatic Turks, cum
mantled by Paellas, totally destitute of military knowledge.
He will not find it soeasy to triumph over a skilful General
at the head of the bravest soldiers in the world.

(From Le National of Tuesday.).

TOULON, JUNE 15.—We are now better able to form
an opinion respecting the mission of the squadron, or at
least its destination. The Garonne, a corvette of bur-
den, which sailed from Algiers on the 9th instant, met
our squadron to the north-east of Pot t Mahon, steering
west. Thus it cannot be doubted that the squadron is
bound for Lisbon. It is supposed that, after having ob-
tained ample satisfaction from Don Miguel, it will go to
the Levant. In a few days we shall therefore have the
following ships off Lisbon :—The Marengo, 80 guns ;
the Ville tie Marseilles, SO; the Trident, the Algiers,
and the Algesiras, each 74 ; the Melpomene, of 44. guns;
the Syrene, 44 ; the Pallas, 50 ; the Didon, 60; the
Haasard and Endyinion, each of 22 guns; the Perk,
26 ; in all, five ships of the line, four frigates, two brigs,
one corvette, carrying 650 guns,
The Bayonnaiso corvette has arrived here from Oran.
It tinahed at Algiers on the Ath, and sailed again on the
9th, with despatches for the Government. We have re-
ceived information by this vessel that the situation of our
colony in Africa is far from giving grounds for fear, as a
journal of the capital pretended. The greatest tranquil-
lity prevails at Algiers and•the neighbourhood.
MILAN, JUNE 11. —The preparations for war continue
with remarkable activity. Every day we see fresh troops
arrive with a great quantity of artillery and ammunition.

will learn with pleaswe that Dr. LINGAIiII has,- atlength,
finished his hbours, and his great work may.. now be bad
complete. This History of England k certainly. one of
the most delightful and original works of, the present age,
