LONDON,
MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 28, 1831.

By private letters from Brussels we learn that
the Regency question is at length settled, and
that the choice has fallen on M. SUBLET DE
CHOKIER by a majority of 157 to 108. His
title is to be Regent of Belgium. He is by all
accounts a highly respectable man, and was one
of the most determined in his opposition to the
Nassau dynasty.

From accounts dated Constantir.ople, we
are informed that the SULTAN has ordered
a levy of twenty thousand regular troops,
which are intended to set out for Negro-
pont, and from thence to the Morea, for
the purpose of subduing Greece. This report
is so very improbable that we can scarcely believe
a syllable about it. The CAPITAN PACUA, it
is added, is hiring European ships to convey
troops and stores.

Italian and German Papers have been re-
ceived. They state with regard to Italy, that
the Duke of MODENA is with his family at
Mantua, endeavouring to rally his troops,
which amount to eight hundred men. Flo-
rence is in state of great excitement, and
the Government have acceded to the public
wish, by giving arms to the people, and
ordering the formation of a National Guard,
which is to include all males from the age of 15
to that of 50. From the frontiers we learn
that the Austrian General, Baron Von GEPPERT,
has received orders to enter the Duchy of Modena
by the 15th inst., and that another Austrian,
Count von BENTHEIM, with fourteen bat-
talions, is on the frontiers of the legation of Fer-
rara, ready, at the first application of the POPE, to
enter the Papal dominions and quell the insurrec-
tion. This is a fine illustration of the principle of
non-interference, as put forth by Austria, and will
we trust, speedily meet with its deserts. As re-
spects Poland, all at present is uncertainty. The ac-
counts from Vienna are to be received with caution.
They have a METTERNICH taint about them.
The Allgemeine Zeilung mentions that a deci-
sive battle would probably take place by the
20th, as the Russian army appeared desirous to
seek it, and so decide the question by one deci-
sive blow
TURIN, FEZ. 17.—Some recent letters from Piacenza
state that her Majesty the Archduchess Louisa al.:iced in
that city on the 15th, where she intends to restore tran-
quillity, which had been momentarily interrupted since the
13th at Parma. These letters add that travellers from
Romagna agree in stating that notwithstanding the efforts
ma le by the chiefs of the insurrection to keep alive the
troubles in those parts, the agitation begins to be allayed ;
and that with respect to the Modena, tike population had
no concern whatever in the changes which a small number
of revolutionists have lately introduced there.
MILAN, Feu. 3.—The birth-day of his Majesty the
Emperor was celebrated yesterday in this city, with every
demonstration of joy and gratitude which the return of
th tt auspicious (lay always excites in the hearts of his
faithful subjeAs.

Fen. li.—Several proclamations Of the Provisional
Govermnent have been published at Bologna.
FEB. 15.—The Viceroy has prohibited the exportation
of arms of every description to the P.ipal dominions, or to
tl.e Duchy of Modt na.

VIENNA, FEE. 15.—We have received since yesterday
accent, from different parts of Poland, all of which agree

in stating that the olea have not yet made any resistance
to theßussian army, but every where retire. Thus they
have voluntarily left the positions of Ostrolenka, Siedlee,
and Lublin, in order to reach Warsaw as speedily as pos-
eible. Here, perhaps, a battle may take place, which
will decide at once the fate of the insurrection. At War-
saw great consternation was caused by the news of the
advance of the Russians. Many persons fled, and sought
an asylum in Cracow. The adherents of the insurn.ctioo
must have been very far from numerous, and the middle
claaes have unwillingly taken part in it, for the Russians
are received with open arms in the towns, for instance,•in
Lublin. In Cracow it is very difficult to obtain a lodging
on account of the great number of strangers, chiefly mer-
chants from Walsaw. We have daily accounts from Italy,
which give ground to fear that the insurrection may spread.
The Duke of Modena is with his family at Mantua, and
is endeavouring to rally his troops, amounting to SOO
men. The Archduke Maximilian of Este sets out this
evening for Mantut. The French journalists have so po-
sitively announced the breaking out of troubles in Italy,

FLORENCE, FEB. 15.—The events in central Italy have
caused much fermentation here. The Government has
met the public wish by giving arms to the people, and has
ordered the formation of a National Guard, which is to
include all males from the age of 15 to that of 50. De-
tachments of this Guard have began to do duty to-day at
the Palace of Pitti, the residence of our Grand Duke.
Both our Sovereign and our venerable Prime Minister
Tossombroni, now SO years of age, enjoy the general love
and esteem, and reposing full confidence in their wisdom
and character, we look forward without uneasiness to the
developement of events.

FRONTIERS OF ITALY, FEILI7.-The Austrian General,
B iron Von Geppert, has received orders to enter the
Duchy of Modena by the 15th instant, with eight batta-
lions of infantry, and two brigades of artillery, to support
the Government, this being the number of troqs that the
Duke has asked the Imperial Court to send to his assistance.
The Austrian General, Count Von Bentheim, with 14
battalions, is on the frontiers of the legation of Fei rara,
ready at the first application of the Pope to enter the
Papal dominion, and quell the insurrectionists. It is said
that in Bologna and Ferrara they are for proclaiming
Napoleon IL, but that in Ancona they desire to be in-
corporated with the kingdom of Naples. For the pur-
pose of covering the Austrian dominions in Upper Italy,
General Count Wolmoden has received orders to take up
positions on the frontiers of Piedmont, with a corps of
observations of 30,000 men.
FRONTIERS OF POLAND, FEB. 14.—1 t is said the Poles
are collecting their whose force about Pultusk, where they
expect, amidst forests and marshes, the arrival of the
Russian army, leaving at Warsaw only a few troops for
the security of the capital. In this case the fate of Poland
would be decided at Pultusk. The force which Poland
can oppose in the field to the Russian army is esti-
mated at forty-five battalions of regular troops, and
twelve brigades of artillery ; that of the Russian
at ninety-two thousand men, and several hundred
cannon. It is said that on the approach of the enemy's
vanguard the garrison of Ziinosc made a sally, but soon
retired. All the Polish troops that were scattered on the
left bank of the Vistula, have passed to the right bank to
join the main army. It is supposed that a decisive battle
may take place by the 20th, as the Russian army seems
to seek it. The fate of Poland depends of course on the
issue of this battle; if the Russians gain the advantage,
the loss of Warsaw and the suppression of the insurrec-
tion must follow. It is affirmed that in this ease the
kingdom of Poland will disappear from the list of Euro-
pean States, and b.: incorporated as one of its provinces,
us the Russian nation requires satisfaction for the atrocities
of November, which the Emperor thinks to give it by
this means.

We have received by express the French
Papers, dated yesterday. The following are
extracts :

Reports were current that the King of Bavaria, alarmed
by the symptoms of discontent manifested by the people
on account of his recent me isures, has revoked his decree
relsting to the periodical press.

M. Gorostiza, the Mexican Minister who recently ar-
rived at Paris, is commissione.l to conclude a treaty of
commerce between Mexico and France. The Minister for
Foreign Affairs imtnediately appointed two plenipoten-
tiaries to enter into negociations with him. The treaty,
when settled, will contain an acknowledgment of the inde-
pendence of the Mexican Republic. It was believed that
directly after the treaty is signed, M. Martin will be ap-
pointed to till the office of Minister Plenipotentiary from
France to the United States of Mexico,

Extract of a private letter from Warsaw, dated the
15th inst.:--

" After the uneasiness which the intense cold caused
among us a few days ago, we are at present iu a state of
exultation. The movement of our army has ben directed
upon Stanislawo, from whence a column proceeded by
Dobre to Wengrow, and another by Such and Kaluskyn
to Siedlic, the chief town of the Palatinate of Podlachia.
The brave General Zymirsky has made great slaughter
among the Russians. The remnant of the enemy's troops
fled by Sacols to Granne on the Bug, and by Koson to
Ciechanowicz, in the canton of Bialystock. The bravery
of Captains Janowicz and Pulacrkowsky has been re-
warded by the order virtuti militari. When General
Geismar summoned General Sierawsky, who is shut up
in Zarnw.e, to surrender that fortress, Colonel Krysoniksy
made a sortie which cost the Russians 200 men.
All the line of the military operations from Uscilug to
Kowno is 500 wersts, (125 leagues.) The enemy had
passed the Bug and Niemen on the ice. For the last two
days, however, the thaw has been so rapid, that the main
part of the Russian artillery and the provisions for the
army canmit pass, so that the advanced guard are in
great jeopardy. Lithuania is only waiting for intelligence
of the first defeat, to fall upon the army of Marshal Di -
bitsch. We have just learnt that General Rozniecki,
Director of the Secret Police, under the Muscovite Go-
vernment, has appeared at the head of a Russian detach-
ment before the Polish advanced post. After an obstinate
combat the Russians were defected. Rozniecki was made
prisoner and hanged immediately after. The provision
magazines reft by the Russians at Siedlic, are considerable."

The nearer the question of Parliamentary Re-
form approaches the more all other questions
become absorbed therein, and the more intense
grows the public feeling, inasmuch as not only,
according to Lord ALTHORP'S declaration on
Saturday, is the fate of the Ministry involved in
it, but the peace of the country, and the safety
of its institutions, depend materially upon the
result. The rejection of the Reform Bill is a
contingency which we cannot contemplate without
fear, for it would betray gross ignorance of the
temper of the times, not to know that the people
of England are determined to have, without
farther delay, that Reform, in the anticipation of
which they have been so long deluded, and which
they justly believe to be necessary for securing to
them good Government for the future. A Par-
liament, or a Government, hostile to Reform,
would, in the present state of things, be so highly
revolutionary, that it is marvellous that any, who
value their liberty and property, should act so
mad a part as to abet the faction of the Anti-
Reformers. To what end do they read the his-
torytime,—if they cannot
of the past,—to what purpose do they see
the events of their own
learn wisdom either from experience or from
observation ?

The reports of a change of Ministry, so in-
dustriously snread within the last few days, are
altogether attributable to the pretended friends,
but secret enemies, of Reform. The professed
Tories are honest and consistent in their oppo-
sition to the Government on the Budget, as well

on the latter as they were oa the former meas.
