LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 19, 1831.

The fleet under the command of Sir EDWARD
CODRINGTON left the Downs, yesterday afternoon,
and proceeded down Channel with a fine breeze, at
north. They passed Dover about three o'clock.

In the House of Commons last night Sir R.
VYVYAN brought forward _his motion for the pro-
duction of papers reltring to the Conferences on
the affairs of Belgium. In arguing the necessity of
this motion, the Hon. Member adverted at some
length to the accusations that had been made against
the Dutch KING, and endeavoured to show that his
MAJESTY had been very scurvily treated. He
allowed, however, that his recent invasion of Bel-
gium was imprudent. Lord PALMERSTON opposed the
motion,but declined entering into explanations on the
subject, as being premature under existing circum-
stances. Mr. O'CoNseELL, with much zeal and ability,
defended the conduct of the Belgians, and Mr. A.
BARING, who followed the Honourable and
Learned Gentleman, advocated the monstrous
doctrine of the division of Belgium among
the surrounding States, as the most efficient
means of preserving the tranquillity of Europe.
The elevation of LEOPOLD to the Belgic
throne he described as being a mock sove-
reignty, which could not be expected to last.—
Mr. HustE replied to the lion. Member that
his proposal was as iniquitous, and defensible
only on the same grounds, as the infamous partition
of Poland. After some further discussion, in which
Sir R. PEEL bore a part, the motion was withdrawn.
The House then resolved into a Committee on theße-
form Bill, and resumed the consideration of the re-
maining portion of the 16th clause, regulating the
Law of Franchise, when the Marquis of CHANDOS
moved an amendment to the effect, " that any
person occupying and farming on his own account,
land at a rent not less than 501. by the year,
although without any specific tenure of his land,
shall be entitled to vote at elections for Knights
of the Shire where the said land is situated ;
provided always that no such occupant shall be en-
titled to vote until he shall have been one year in
bona fide possession of the land." Lord ALTIIORP
oppo ed the amendment, principally on the ground
that it would endanger the independence of
voters for counties, but on a division taking place,
Ministers were left in a minority of eighty-four,
there being 232 for the amendment, and I'lB
against it. As this amendment in no way inter-
feres with any of the leading principles of the
Bill, its success is a matter of no great moment.
Indeed it possesses one prominent advantage,
namely—that it extends the constituency, though
at the same time, we are aware it may be said
by way of drawback to this good, that it enables
a great landowner to exercise much of his former
power over the country voters within his district.
This disadvantage however might be neutralized
by the franchise being lowered in Wdes and the
southern districts of England, so as to meet
the wants and wishes of the inhabitants. It is evi-
dent that Ministers laid no great stress on this
amendment, by the fact that so little pains were
taken to prevent its success, Lord ALTIIORP being
the only one who rose to oppose it.

The Irish Members had a meeting yesterday with
STANLEY on the subject of the disarming of
the yeomanry, when the Right Hon. Member ex-
plained to them the nature of his projected altera-
tions with regard to this force, of which the depu-
tation expressed their disapprobation ; though they

courteously added, that for the present they would
do nothing that might have the effect of embarrassing
Government.

SUN OFFICE, Quarter-past Three.
We have just received the following Dutch mail :
WARSAW, AUGUST 3.—The Warsaw State Gazette contains
an order of the day of General Skrzynecki, of the Ist instant,
praising General Dembinski and his corps for having, in spite of
the dangers that surrounded them, fornied and executed the re-
solution to fight their way through the Russian troops. Some
of his officers are commended by name.
The same Paper says that General Dembinski, with his corps
of 5,000 cavalry, with six cannon, is near Hocksk, a few leagues
from Warsaw. _ _

The Warsaw Gazette of to-day says, " We cannot say any
thing certain respecting the manmuvres of Field-Marshal Pas-
kewitsch. There is no doubt, however, that the Russian
advanced posts, after the taking of Bow yesterday, pro-
ceeded along the Vistula to Socharzew. If the Field-
Marshal acts on the same plan that he has on former occasions,
We may every moment expect a decisive battle, for he has been
used after an apparent inactivity of some weeks to strike a blow
all on a sudden. As far as we can learn, General Rudiger has
yet sent only small detachments over the Vistula at Josefro,
which have advanced to Sienna. _ _

Persons who arrived at Warsaw yesterday from the neighbour-
hood of Lowicz say, there had bech an engagement of cavalry
near Bziara. _

It is said that General Casimir Skarzynski, who commands at
Socharzew, on the Bzura, gains repeated advantages over the
Russians, and hinders them from harassing the rear.

General Uminski is again in active service, and is gone
with the General-in-Chief to the army.
In consequence of the corps of General Dembinski having
crossed the Bug, an extraordinary movement was observed
among the Russian troops, LOCO in number, near Siedlec. They
belong to the corps of General Golowin, and were attacked intheir rear. Dembinski has sent word that he has taken up a
very strong position at Isrezek, and waited for orders from the
Government either to enter Praga to-day, or to attack General
Golowin.

WARSAW, AUG. 4.—The Warsaw State Gazette says—. On
the other side of the Bezura there are only weak detachments
of Russian cavalry ; the vanguard is commanded by General
Witt. Count Paskewitsch was at Kulno three days ago.
Warsaw Gazette says that the Aide-de-camp of General Dem-
binski left him at Jadow yesterday morning. The General was
at Radzymin, on his way to Warsaw, where he arrived in the
evening, and immediately waited on the Government. Accord-
ing to various accounts from Ludowicz General Rudiger had
again sent several detatchments over the Vistula, at Rachow,
Jocefow, and Solez.
ST. PETERSBURGH, Jouv 30.—His Yajesty has received
from Count Paskewitsch a detailed report of the successful pas-
sage of the Vistula by the Russian army.

Of those remaining 332 are expected to recover.

We direct attention to a report which will be
found in another column, of the extraordinary pro-
ceedings that took place in the Chamber of Depu-
ties on the subject of the Address to Louis PHI-
LIPPE. During the discussion, the Chamber was a
perfect bear-garden, and so we fear it is likely to
continue, until some decisive steps are taken on
behalf of Poland.
