ESSEX.

GRAND DINNER to COL °N$l. T YRELL.
(From the Essex Standard.)
On the health of Colonel Tyrell being proposed, it is
utterly impossible to describe the enthusiasm with which
it was drank ; the company started on their legs as if
moved by one common feeling and one muscular motion.
Colonel TYRELL rose, and attempted to address the
assembly, but his endeavours were tin wailing till the storm
of applause had in some measure subsided, and then be was
heard :
Gentlemen,—When I consider th it I am attempting
to address myself to a body of persons, who are at once
the most respectable, the most influential, and the most
intelligent, ever assembled within these walls, whether
in the relation of private life, or as a public body
assembled on a political occasion—(Cheers)—when I
call to mind that you have been pleased to assemble for
the purpose of conferring an honour upon me as your late
Parliamentary Representative, and in a way, too, quite un-
precedented in the electioneering annals of this county—
(Hear.)—l say, Gentlemen, when I recollect these cir-
cumstances, it is impossible for me to entertain any other
sentiments or any other feelings than that mine has been
the real triumph—if not the substantial victory !—(lm-
mense cheering for several minutes.) Gentlemen, I trust
I may be excused for tiumphantly alluding to the state of
the poll at the last election, as an urrequivncal proof that
the line of duty which I felt called upon to fallow has
been in unison with the sentiments of a large portion of
the freeholders of the county.—(" It has !") That fact,
Gentlemen, is to me a great satisfaction and consolation ;
for it satisfies me that in opposing myself to the revolu-
tionary mania of the day—to that jargon which talks
about " the Bill, the whole Bill, and nothing but the
Bur—we are not lending ourselves to any unworthy de-
lusion.—( Hear.) Truth will prevail. Gentlemen, when we
were called upon to make a change, and transfer in "breath-
less baste" thos! proud national privileges which have
been the envy and the beacon of foreigners, and which
survived amidst the wreck of surrounding States, I
felt it to be my duty to stand up against the inno-
vation. A few theorists, progressing in the much-
vaunted "march of intellect" and the tour of "the school-
master," ventured on innovation, which have ensured for
thetn the ridicule and contempt of all sensible men.
Gentlemen, I have ever held the principle uppermost in
my mind, that in order to secure our own rights and
liberties, the most efficient way of doing so was to defend
the rights of others; when I found, therefore, that mea •
sures were proposed calculated to affect not only the bights
of the public, but those of private property ; and when I
found that the inviolability of the rights not only of the
public, but of private individuals, rested upon no other
basis than the inviolability of that Constitution which it
was the avowed object of the proposed measure to destroy,
I could not consent to su- render it at discretion into the
hands of a few crafty Individuals.—(Hear, and cheering.)
Gentlemen, let us never lend ourselves to a factious display
—never imitate the conduct of those who act the dema-
gogue, " for their country's good," in order to promote
their own.—(Hear, hear.)
Sir H. SMYTII, on his health being drunk, arose amid
loud cheering from all parts of the room.—Gentlemen,
This day we are met to do honour to Colonel Tyrell ;
and 1 am sure, when he looks over the party's names who
supported hint—when he refers to the poll book—he may
well rest satisfied that he has sustained no defeat; on the
contrary, it is a triumph ; aye, Gentlemen, a brilliant
triumph ; and although lie has unjustly been bereaved of
his seat, lie may satisfy himself, that many of the most
distinguished characters in Great Britain are in the same
situation with himself.—(Hear.) There is Sir Thomas
Gooch, Sir Edward Knatchbull—that is some consolation.
(Loud cheers and laughter.) I have no confidence what-
ever in Ministers, because I believe them to be incompe-
tent and dishonest men—.(Loud and long-continued cheer-
ing)—dishonest, because I believe they would sacrifice the
best interems of the country to carry their favourite
measure, the Reform Bill ; incompetent, because, after
thirty years plodding, they produce a Bill, which Sir Chat les
Wetherell told them no one could understand.—(Cheers.)
The health of the Right Hon. George Dawson, Member
for Harwich, with three times three, and tumultuous
applause.
T. e Rev. J. Turueet. (amid the noisy cheers that
prevailed, as we could gather) observed, that the sire of
Reform, backed by Ministerial blandishments, had been
sent down to Hartv'cle But the electors had in their
infant days plighted their faith to the Constitution ; and
was it likely they would forget they vows? No ; they
were determined to be faithful even unto death.—(Hear.)
The representatives of such men must be worthy our ap-
pl,use, and let-the cheers with which the reception of one
of theetrf was that day greeted show the estimation in
which they were held by the loyal freeholders of Essex.
The Right Hon. G. DAwsoN proceeded to address the
company at great length. Gentlemen, I possess not the
political selfishness of one of your county Members, nor the
wild profuseness of the other. I confess, indeed, that I am
not an admirer of either of the county Members ; but I
came here to show my admiration of one who has been dis•
possessed of his seat by an unnatural compact between
them both. —(Cheers.) With respect to myself, when I
see before me so many respectable gentlemen of the
county of Essex, I may be allowed to explain a few
circumstances connected with my public life. I have
been assailed by that—l will call it abominable—
nuisance, a licentious Press. I have never been an
enemy to the Press ; but I dare say there are many per-
sons, believing what they have read in such papers, suppose
hive carried my election at Harwich by undue means,—
(" No, no.") Gentlemen, I will tell you how my elec-
tion was obtained ; my connection with that borough did
not arise out of the circumstance of my having been Secre-
tary to his Majesty's Treasury. I was introducal there
as a private individual ; and in 1830 they elected me as
their rei r aentative. No sooner did a change take place
in the King's Councils, and I was out of office, than I
wrote down to the burgesses, telling them I was no longer
Secretary ; that I had no gifts to bestow ; no power to pa-
trunage ; and added, that without pledging myself to sup •
port or oppose the new Government, which, as hi, 31a-
jesty's Opposition," I had been opposed to for fifteen or
sixteen years, the seat was at their service, and if they did
not choose to entertain my pretensions I was ready to re-
sign my place.—(Hear.) This, Gentlemen, is the " un-
handsome" way a Tory gentleman treats with his constitu-
ents. I advised my friends at Harwich to pause even
before they replied to my communicatit n ; and having
procured a copy of " the Bill," I sent it down thither for
their perusnal, and then told them that I would oppose
such a revolutionary Reform 13i:1 to the last moments
of my existence—(" Hear" and cheers)—and if they
wished to have a Member of a different character, the seat
was at their service. What was the answer which I re•
ceived from them—the seat-selling, selfish, calumniated
electors of Harwich ? Why they told me they agreed with
one in every point of my political views to oppose the Bill
to the utmost of my power—(Loud cheering)—and they
added, that in the time of need they would nut forget me
nor he ungrateful. Gentlemen, during the progress of the
Bill I was not for one moment absent from the House of
Common., and I never failed to reprobate that most dan-
gerous measure.—(lleac, bear.) The Parliament, as you
knew, on the defeat of the meeteure, was dissolved, and the
next day I went down to Harwich, where 1 was warmly
received; yet this is what a Whig patty and a Whig
press call eube,erviency.—(Mr. G. Wiffen—" It was only
the I?ad;cal Nereury"—Laughter.) When I was out
of power I was ropresented as any thing but a gentleman,
and my constituents as my dupes; and such is the way
in which I have been assr6led by a. tyranny-loving press,
and a tyranny-loving Govertunent.ere(boull and lone
cries of " Hear, hear, hear.") I shall now advert
to a new feature. To my surprise, on my second re-
turn to Harwich, I found there a Orson calling him-
self a gentleman of Essex, which gentleman had meanly
condescended to go down there with letters of promises,
and threats, and denunciations, from the Treasury unless
dui elected hint.—(A Freeholder—" That was Mr.
Tower.")—Gentlemen, I blushed when I saw that any
max :would stoop to receive auch a disgraceful mission ;
but:TT ▪e ." !'pis met by an indignaot rejeestion.—(Cheers.)
Logilel not seduce one man i • not one or old swerve from

LONDON,
SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 11, 1831.

By the Prussian State Gazette of the 3d and
4th of June we have the Russian account of the
battle at Ostrolenka, and the movements of both
armies prior to that memorable event. In this
version it is plain that the Russians have
suffered very severely by their own con-
fession ; but there are a great many
important particulars omitted. DIEBITSCH
makes no mention whatever of the capture of the
strong fortress of Lomza, nor of the strong di-
vision of Poles that entered Lithuania to assist
the bold insurgents in that extensive country. He
admits that the Poles, notwithstanding the forced
marches which they had previously made in order
to bring the Imperial Guards to battle, were yet
able to make good their retreat. In short, it
plainly appears by this garbled statement of the
affair, that the Poles behaved with great intre-
pidity and consummate bravery. The Russians
assert that three cannon and 1,500 prisoners
were taken, but which we do not believe.

According to accounts from Warsaw of the
30th of May, the cause of the Poles was going
on prosperously, and the insurrection in Li-
thuania was proceeding gloriously. Indeed this
may be inferred from the fact that llfEetTscn
had not ventured from the neighbourhood of
Ostrolenka since the battle. The Polish division
under General CIIIIAPOWSKI, which entered
Lithuania by way of Bransk, had, after taking
without striking a blow the town of Bielsk,
which was barricaded by the Russian garrison,
joined, in the forest of Bralowces, the Lithuanian
insurgents, commanded by the Ciatellan
TvsKlEwiTz. News had been received from
Augustowo of the 20th, that 14,000 Lithuanian
insurgents had entered the province of August owo,
and living joined the corps of Major PuscliET,
had blockaded the Russian General 'FRICKE,
with a garrison of 4,00 Q nn en, in Marianpol.
Even the Prussian Government is at length
compelled to admit that the Lithuanian insur-
,gents were asses bl,ing on the frontiers in great
force, and were endeavo.ur,ing to open a com-
munication with the coast. T4tis will prove of

to Ciecharawiec, in older to be at hand to oppose any
thing that the erensy might attempt. On the 22d, in the
evening, a d tachtnent consisting of the First Regiment of
Carbineers. the Regiment Barclay and Tolly, and a brigade
tf Hid ins, fell in with the enemy and drove them back ;
he infantry advanced towards the town, while the
cavalry turned the enemy's position. These fine troops
executed the attack with calmness, and cut down
the regiment of Yagers, which alone ventured to await the
'thick, overthrew the infantry, which found refuge in the
forest, and took one cannon. In the night the rebels re-
treated towards Czyzewo; they bad lost 150 prisoners and
had many killed and wounded. The Russian loss was 53
.nen in all. On the 23.1 the Field-Marshal went to KlukoWo,
'rid on the 24th to Wisory Musowiecki. Here he learned that
the Guards, which could not engage in a serious action
with the superior numbers of the enemy, had made, in
order, an admirable retreat, without any considerable loss.
The Yager and the Finland regiments, both in the rear
guard, had bravely repulsed ail the attacks of the enemy,
and even driven them hack frequently with advantage.--
The main army, by its arrival, oh iged the Poles to retreat,
and followed them. On the 25th the Field-Marshal,
after a march of 50 werats, fell in with their rear-guard
it Pyki, and the brave Russian troops attacked them
vigorously, and gained some advantage. On the 26th,
it day-break, the army proceeded eight tversts on this side
of Ostrolenka. The Russian van-guard, consisting of a
brigade of grenadiers and some regiments of cavalry, found
the enemy in woody defiles. Here they attempted to
make a stand, but being charged with the bayonet were
soon driven out, and pursued to Ostrolenka. A division
of infantry defended the town, which was taken at the
point of the bayonet. Notwithstanding the fire, which
broke out in several places, the Russian troops executed
their movements with equal courage and precision,
so that the enemy had not time to destroy the
bridge which crosses the Narew. At the same time
the Hulans of the guard attacked the 4th regiment of
the line, drove it into the river, and cut off the retreat
of all those who did not perish by the sword or in the
waves. After these events,our brave grenadiers had reached
the other bank, they then penetrated into the columns
which showed themselves, got possession of their cannon,
and took up a position, by which they were masters of the
road (causeway) to Warsaw.
The rebels, in order to secure their retreat, and not to
be obliged to pass a marshy stream in sight of 'the army,
attacked the Russian columns five cliffrent times, and
were each time received by the Russian bayonets. Being
vigorously repulsed, and crushed by showers of grape.
shot from the admirably-served Russian artillery, the
Pules desiteed from farther attempts. They took ad-
vantage of the datkness of the night to make their re-
treat, and, by going a lung way about, reached the cause-
way which had cost them so many men.
On this bloody day the Russians took three cannon and
made 1,500 prisoners during the action, among them
are a Brigadier- General four superior efficers, and
several subalterns ; besides the wounded picked up
in the field of battle, who are not included in
the above number of prisoners, many others have
been found who were left behind in the neighbour-
hood during the retreat. The pi isoners say that General
Kaminski was killed, and Generals Pac and Kicki wounded.
The immense loss which the Russians have caused the
enemy has been purchased by sacrifices, lint they have
again proved superiority of their arms, and defeated
all the projeelf of the rebels, who retreated with such
precipitat on, that notwithstanding the forced marches
they had before made, they reached Rozan towards noon.
The light cavalry of the Guards, and a division of the Ar-
tillery of the Guards, took part in the engagement. To-
wards evening the other regiments of the Guards arrived
before Ostro enka, and Joined the army.

WARSAW, MAY 30.

The Warsaw Gazette of to-day says, " The head-
quarters of our General-in-Chief were yesterday still at
Praga. There were reports in circulation that General
Gielgud has joined the Lithuanian insurgents, but nothing
certain is known on this subject. Various reports are in
circulation respecting the arrival of General Chlopiecki in
Wat saw ; some say he is expected, and others pretend he
has already arrived, and even that he had yesterday a long
interview with the Commander-in-Chief at Praga."
The Warsaw State Gazette, says, detachments of our
army are advancing into the prevince of Augustowo; on
the 25th they took the town of Augustowo, and are said
to hive reached Suiwalki on the 26th.. Letters have been
received which say that the Lithuanians had crossed the
Niemen, and taken possession of the district of Mariampol.
It is said that General Jankowski is to have the com-
mand of the corps that is to operate on the line to
The Russian General Kreutz is encamped
at Czernigow, about fifteen miles south of Lublin.
His cavalry operates in the country 1 otn Krus-
nyslae, towards Zamosc. General Rudiger's head-quarters
were, according to the last accounts, at Dubience. Some
skirmishes have occurred near Juzefow, on the Vistula, and
on Ziklikow, in which our corps took prisoners two Rus-
sion officers and thirty-four privates.
The same paper says that the General-in Chief was in
Warsaw the day before yesterday, that lie had a conference
with the members of the National Government, and after
stopping a few hours set out to join the troops on the other
side of the Narew. With respect to the operations in the
province of Augustowo, the State Gazette rep,rts that
the trooes of General Sicken have retreated from Lomza
carrying away the rice citizen Adam Kenznceiki, who had
caused the Russian army great injury. General Gielgud
and the Polish troops had followed the enemy and pi o-
ceeded without delay to Razgrod, so that the post from
Crazewo has again arrived at Warsaw.
The Warsaw Gazette of the day before yesterd
says "the head-quarters of General Uniinski are again at
Bizozing, near Great Dembe The news that that Gene-
ral had taken possession of Siedlec, which the Russians h td
voluntarily abandoned, which was pub:ished by all the
Warsaw pipets, is not confirmed." The sime Gazette
says that the Polish corps, under General Chrapowski,
which has entered Lithuania by way of Bransk, bad, after
taking without striking a blow the town of Bielsk, which
was barricaded by the Russian garrison, joined, in the
forest of 13ralowees, the Lithuanian insurgents, commanded
by the Castellan Tyszkiewi'z. It also says that news had
been received from Augustowo of the 20th inst. that
14.000 Lithuanian insurgents had entered the province of
Augustowo, and having joined the corps of Major
Puschet, had blockaded the Russian General Tricke, with
a garrison of 4,000 men, in Mariampol.
BERLIN, JUNE 3.

The Konigsberg Gazette has an article from Memel,
which says :—" The Lithuanian insurgents are again
assembling in great numhers on our frontiers, and appear
to intend to drive the Russian troops from Polangen and
gain the sea-coast."
TILSIT, MAY 28.

Both the Russian troops and the insurgents have retired
from the frontier near this town. The former, 10,000
strong, are said to have left Georgenburgh, and concen-
trated themselves behind Newstadt. The insurgents are
in considerible numbers at Teize. -
In the last advance of the Russian troops they have
shown great lenity to the places that were before in a state
of insurrection.

The following are extracts from Dutch Papers
of the Bth June, received this morning :

The Haarlem Courant says—" We hear that the
Prince of Orange some time ago offered to the King,

The Journals contain some accounts of the insurgents
in Lithuania and Samogitia, a despatch of Field-Marshal
D:ebitselt, of the 14th May, relative to the action near
Kalu-zyn on the 12th May, and also a long report from
General lireutz, dated the 13th May, of his operations on
the Wieprz. All the leading particulars have been antici-
pated by previous accounts.

It appears by Buenos Ayres Papers to the
6th of March, that war has again broken out in
that distracted country :

BUENOS AYRES, FEB. 19.

War between the boundary provinces and those of the
interior has commenced, the issue of which will probably
decide the fate of either party. Many think that even
this dreadful alternative is better than the state of suspense
and distra •ti,m in which the Republic has been so long
immersed.

On the 15th inst. the first bulletin of the Auxiliary
Confederate Army was published here. It stated that on
the sth inst. the division of colonel Pacheco bad at-
tacked that of Colonel Pedernera and emxipletely routed
it ; that the latter had 50 or 60 killed, and lost eight
officers, and his horses, baggage, &c. &c. ; that
Pedernera had escaped, accompanied by thirty officers
and two soldiers, the rest of his troops having
dispersed ; that many of the Cordova militia had
wished to join the confederate' army. ' They have' been
sent to their bottles to regulate their affAirs, and were to

return to incorporate themselves with the army. Otha,
of the militia had dispersed when they beard of the defeat
of Colonel Pedernera. The loss in Colonel Pacheco',
division is stated to be one officer and four soldiers killed,
and four wounded. His advanced guard had penetrated
considerably into the Cordova territory, and had entered
the capital de Gomez.
The mail courier from Chili has arrived, but brought
no letters. He was present when Colonel Pacheco attacked
Colonel Pederaera, and in his haste to escape from th,
fray left the mail-bag behind.
Governor Lopez is Commander-in-Chief of the confe-
derate army ; our division of this army is under the com-
mand of General Felippe Iberra, and is to act
_against
Santiago. Another is commanded by General Quiroga.
The Governor of Buenos Ayres, General Juan Manuel
de Rosas, with a strong army of reserve, will be stationed
on the northern frontier of thi4 province.
FEB. 26.—The 2d bulletin of the Confederate, pub-
lished 20th Feb., contains a communication from General
Lopez to the Governor of the province of Buenos Ayres,
dated head-quarters, Sanchos, 13th inst., stating the de-
feat of the troops of Colonel Pedernera, on the sth inst.
by those of Colonel Pacheco, and of the general inclina-
tion of the inhabitants of the country districts of Cordova
to the cause of the Protector-General Paz, and thata num-
ber of the Cordova militia hid joined the federal army.
The 3d bulletin was published on the 24th, containing
a communication from General Lopez, dated head-quar-
ters Asequion, 19th instant, and a dispatch from Colonel
Narcisao de Soza, dated Tio, 16th inst., stating that on
that day he had defeated a division of Unitarian troops
commanded by Colonel Plaza, who lost more than forty
men, including two officers; and that only one soldier and
a serjeant were wounded in the federal division.
The creation of new funds, to the amouut of more
than six millions of dollars, the particulars of which will
be found in another part of this paper, -has greatly de-
pressed the market. The old six per cents., which• in
January last were .76, are now
.56 and 57.
The Government has presented to the House of Repre-
sentatives two projects of law.
PROJECT OF LAW, No. I.

" Art. 1. A capital of six millions of dollars shall be
added and recognised in the book of the public funds and
revenue of the province, bearing interest at six per cent.
per annum, and sixty thousand dollars per annum shall be
assigned for its liquid ition.
"2. The six millions of public funds created by the pre-
ceding article, shall be appropriated to the payment of the
extraordinary expenses incurred during the present year.
