LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 17, 1831.

By the latest `accounts from Paris, it appears
that that city is again in a state of disturbance.
Riots are of nightly occurrence, and though for
the time they are repulsed by the calm energy
of the National Guard, yet they again make
head, and keep the inhabitants in a state of
constant uneasiness. Many causes—want of
employment by the poorer classes among the
number—may be assigned for these tumults,
tut the chief one is the increasing discontent
felt by the majority of the people at the capri-
cious, temporizing, but would-be vigorous, mea-
sures •of the French Cabinet. These discon-
tents are daily assuming a more decided cha-
racter ; remonstrance is changing into menace ;
and unless Louis PHILIPPE remodel to a very
considerable extent the Fabric both of his domestic
and foreign policy ; unless he consent to march
with the revolution, of which he avowed himself
the . champion when he accepted a " throne
guarded by republican institutions," instead of
striving his utmost to compel it to retrograde, he
will most assuredly ere long be overwhelmed.
We should regret to see such a disaster, for
the citizen Monarch has many amiable
qualities, is warmly attached to France, and
acts from the very purest motives ; but, we re-
peat, unless he change his policy, it is inevitable.
His late replies to the Municipal Council and
the National Guard, at Metz, were in the very
worst taste possible. We fear they tvill do his
MAJESTY a world of mischief. The Council,
he told, that they had no right to trouble
themselves with politics ; and to the Na-
tional Guard he replied with equal petu-
lence that " the army had no right to deli-
berate." How injudicious are such remarks !
Why, the National Guard is France itself: it is
the very essence, the pith and marrow, the sum
and substance of the people ; and if the people
have no right to think and act for themselves,
pray why did LOUIS PHILIPPE reward them
for achieving the July revolution, and placing
him on the throne ? On his own showing
they had no business with politics ; they should
have left such-matters to the Legislative Cham-
bers. But had they done so, instead of taking
the lead, and bidding the Legislature follow,
CHARLES --'crht have Fill b ;he ',hr-

might have sti. ,een on the throne,
and Lows PHILIPPE in honourable banish-
ment at his favourite country residence. 'We
fear the French KING is not a man for his time.
Though kind-hearted, candid, simple, and pa-
triotic, he wants energy, decision, and foresight.
The signs of the times are evidently unheeded by
him. The hand writing on the wall, though
visible enough to others, is unseen by his eyes.
At a quiet, sober period, when there was neither

undisguised insult to a free, independent King
of the French ? His MAJESTY, we perceive.
has just sent another demand for explanation
to St. Petersburgh, in consequence of an absurd
threat held out by an official Journal in that
capital ; if this second demand be replied to in no
more satisfactory a spirit than the first, the pride
of France will be roused, and we would not
guarantee the throne of Louts PHILIPPE from
one month to another. Even as it is, we tremble

will be too much for their judgment. But
Lours PHILIPPE may yet retrieve himself
itt the eyes of France and Europe. Let
him stand on his right as the Ki of a free
people ; as the champion of that cause to which
lie owes his exaltation. Let him interfere in be-
half of Poland; let him come to an understanding
with Austria on the subject of Italy ; and he may
yet die a powerful, an independent, a beloved
ilonarcb. But if he act otherwise ;if he stand
Rtssively looking on while freedom is being
crushed abroad, and himself assist to crush it at
home by ungenerous prosecutions of the Press ;
then so surely as the sun will rise to-morrow,
so surely will he bitterly repent his errors of,
judgment.

The intelligence from Poland is still en-
couraging. The Russians are dispirited, and fast
diminishing in numbers; the Poles full of hope,
' particularly since they have learned the success
of the exertions of their brethren in Lithuania.
The Polish Gazette says—" We have just re.;.
coived intelligence that Colonel SIERAKOWSKI,
supported by the insurgents, has had with a very
superior force of the enemy, near Marianpol,
as bloody a battle as that at Ostrolenka,
only it was more favourable to us. Our troops
are said to have twice made themselves masters
of the town, and to have been twice driven out,
till on the third attack they maintained their
ground and entirely dispersed the enemy's
corps"
WARSAW, JUNE 6.—The Polish State Gazette con-
tains two reports of General Skrzyttecki, dated from the
head-quarters at Praga, the Ist and 2d June. The first
gives an account of the reasons (which are already known)
why the army fought the battle of Ostrolenka, and after-
wards retreated to Praga. The second report is that which
gives an account of the defeat of a Russian corps in Lithu-
ania, by General Chrapowski, in conjunction with the in-
surgents.

The same Paper gives the following particulars under
the date of the 2(1:

"Up the Vistula all is tranquil. In the vicinity of
Zatnosc the Russians have drawn nearer the corps of Ge.
neral Chrzanowski. General Dividoff was on the 30th in
0:(1 Zamosc. General Rudiger has advanced from
Dubienka_ to Bruhiezow, and his bead-quarters were at
Hostynne. The corps of General Roth was in the districts
of Ploskirow and Kamincez ; it is about 7,000 strong, but
there are only 800 civa!ry. For this reason it (lid not
advance against the [Lithuanians, whose force consists
almost entirely of cavalry, and because the Charkow Re-
giment of Hulans is partly dispersed, and has partly joined
the insurgents."

The sitne Paper gives. under the head of the 3d, the
following particulars :—Yesterday the Cracowites of and
the corps of General Dziekarskie dispersed, near Goknob, a
squadron of dragoons and two squadrons of Cossacks, on
which occasion they took 46 prisoners, with their horses
and baggage.

A report is spread here to-day that Colonel S'erakowski,
in the government of Augnstowo, has dispersed the corps
of General Fricken, said to be 2,000 strong, and taken
four cannon ; but we have no official account of this affair.
Accounts from Zamose of 29th May, say that General
Rudiger, who has entered the kingdom with his own
corps and that of General Kreutz, has in all about 9,000
men, and thirty cannon, and that his bead-quarters
are at Werbowiee. The battle between the Russians and
the insurgents at Human was very sanguinary ; the Corn-
m•rnder-in•Chief of the insurgents was the Etuir Count
Weziaw Rzewuski, father Stanizlaus and Leontiers Rze-
wusk , who serve in our artillery ; Vincent Fyszkiewiez
and Wladimir Potocki commanded under him. The
combat was very obstinate ; about 1,200 Russians fell.
On our side we particularly regret Alexander Sohanski,
who was either killed or taken pri,oner. The land owners
of that country have emancipated their peasants, and this
made them favourable to the cause of the insurrection.
The inhabitants of the Ukraine have sent deputies to Mol-
davia and Wallachia, and also to the Niekrasorites in
Dobruda. According to the latest accounts the Russians
were drawing together reinforcements from different
quarters, and corps have been sent from Zytomir and
Rerdyczew, so that the insurgents have a regular army of
15,000 men opposed tq them.

The State Gazette of yesterday says—" The Russian
army has began to pass over to the right bank of the
Naretv. On the 3d instant a corps of neatly 11,000 men
was encamped in Prasoytz."

The Warsaw Gazette of to-day bays :—" We have no
account of the farther operations of our army in Lithuania.
Among the reports that require confirmation is one, that
General Chrapowski has had another battle with a Russian
corps under General Wlodek."

POLISH FRONTIERS, JUNE 7.—Count Diebitsch is
said to remain in his former position, in order to facilitate
the sutsistence of his army : but 14,000 men have
advanced to Prasnytz, probably to mark the movements
of a strong corps, but in pursuit of General Gielgud.—
The latter is said to be following the corps of General
Sarken, which, we now fear, has taken the road to
Kowno. Kalwary is reported to be occupied by the
Polish troops, united with the insurgents. In order to
give more unity to the Polish Government, Prince Czar-
teryski will probably be appointed Regent.
Our Warsaw Courrier says, that the Cossacks have
already advanced from Prasnytz to Ciechanow ; on the other
hand, troops of Cossacks are said to have again appeared
about Siedlec. The same Paper says, there is a report
that the Lithuanian insurgents have again had a battle
with the Russians near Wilna.

The Palish Gazette says,—" We have just received
intelligence that Colonel Sierakowski, supported by the
insurgents, has had with a very superior force of the
enemy, near Marianpol, as bloody a battle as that at Os-
trolenka, only it was more favourable to us. Our troops
are said to have twice made themselves masters of the
town, and to have been twice driven out, till on the third
attack they maintained their ground and entirely dispersed
the enemy's corps.
BERLIN, JUNE 10.—We learn from Dantzic, which has
60,000 inhabitants, that up to the sth at noon, there had
been only ixty-one cases of cholera; thirty of the patients
had died, and scarcely half of the other thirty-one were
likely to recover.

THE HAGUE, JUNE 10.-Last night, a courier was dis-
, patched by our General to his Royal Highness Prince Fre-
derick, and thence to the citadel of Antwerp. Yesterday
morning a courier from Berlin arrived at the hotel of the
Russian Ambassador, at twelve o'clock. An extraordi-
nary Cabinet Council was held yesterday evening; our Go-
vernment received an extraordinary courier with dis-
patches, said to be important, at least a Cabinet Council
which sat a long time, was held in the Palace Royal.
His Excellency the Minister of the Interior yesterday
received diplomatic communications to the Second Cham-
ber of the States General in a General Committee. The
arrival and departure of these couriers, the extraordinary
meeting of the Cabinet Council, and of the General Com-
tnittee of the States-General, give reason to conjecture that
important negotiations are on foot. Though nothing re-
specting them is known, the result is expected in a few
days.
THE HAGUE, JUNE 14.—The First Chamber in its
sitting yesterday, agreed to the project of law relative to
the vote of credit. The observations of the sections on
the project of law respecting ►the loan have been communi-
cated to the Government.
