DUTCH AND GERMAN PAPERS.

FROM THE POLISH LITHUANIAN FRONTIERS, MARCH
17.—The detachments of troops sent out by the Russian
Commander-in-Chief have cleared the country of the
Cracovites, and taken many of them prisoners. The van
Of the Russian Guard arrived at Raygrod on the 17th
inst. The pontoons sent to the army passed through
Loinza on the 13th. The Russians enjoy excellent health.
The PoliSh Lieutenant-Colori.el tovolinski, who came from
Modlin to ti3e army of his lawful Sovereign, has been fol-
lowed by almost his whole battalion. Many Polish sol-
diers, it is said, desert from Modlin to the Russians.
BERLIN, MARCH 20, HALL'-PAST Six r.3f.—We have

Russian head ouartet.s, which being too late for insertion
In the Xttite Cazette to day, we publish it, in a supple-
ment to be given out to-morrow Morning.
Extract of a letter from Sienica, dated March 12,
1831 :—" Sihce the battle of the 25th of February the Rus-
sian troops have Continued to occupy the environs of Praga,
and ev's'il have their out-posts in the suburb itself. The
rebels, who are driven to the other bank of the Vistula,
remain in possession of the Tete de Pont, and it would
have been no use whatever to make an attack upon it. O❑
their side an attempt was made to drive the Russians out
of the houses, to set fire to the latter, and to drive a Rus-
sian detachment from the Saxon Werder, but they were
repulsed with loss, and have not repeated the attempt.
" The state of the Vistula, the thaw seldom interrupted
by frost, and the weakness of the ice, have hitherto pre-
vented the Russian troops from passing the river. To lay
a bridge over it would not have been advisable, as the
breaking up of the ice might have carried it away, by
which the communications would have been interrupted,
the army cut off from its resources and exposed to want,
which is to be feared in a country which has been ruined
by the presence of the enemy's troops, and purposely laid
waste by them.
" The Commander-in- Chief has, therefore, resolved to
remain in a position of observation—to distribute the army
in more extensive cantonments, and to give the troops
some rest. On the 27th of February a detachment con.
silting of a brigade of infantry, a brigade of regular
cavalry, two regiments of Cossacks, and eight cannon, was
placed under the command of General Sackers, with di-
rections to take measures fur the preservation of the bridge
of the Bug, and to secure the arrival of the last detach-
ments of the corps of grenadiers, wiiich were to come by
way of Ostrolenka and Pultusk, to join the army, which
they did on the 2d of March.
ye On the Ist, some hundreds Cracovites attacked a
piquet of Cossacks, some of whom were killed. At the
same time it was reported that numerous bands of militia
had shewn themselves at Ciechanow and Prdsnie, and

about 10,000 regular troops near Plousk. On this the
carps of General Rosen was ordered to clear the country.
He sent out strong parties to reconnoitre, but they did not
find the-enemy either at Chiechanow or Pra•nie. As the
Poles had burnt the bridges over the Ukra, the corps
corps could not march to Plousk. The Field •Marshal
thought it useless to undertake this expedition, and ordered
the 7th corps to destroy the bridge at Zegrz, and take up
its quarters at Stanisleworv. General Sacken remains
between the Bug and the Narew, to maintain tranquillity
there and to preserve the magazines, in which the provi-
sions are deposited for the subsistence of the guards, who
are advancing by the roads front Grodno and Kowno.
"By order of the Field-Marshal General Kreutz,
our right wing, after occupying Raiow, had crossed the
Vistula at Triechen on the 23d of February. After the
battle of the 19th he was not molested agai❑ by the
enemy."
By accounts from Warsaw we learnt that a, column of
troops had marched towards Kartschew and Gora, where-
upon the Field-illarshal ordered General Count Witt,
who was cantoned at Laskarzew with the reserve cavalry,
to be ready for battle. On the 26th two small detach-
ments of cavalry at Pulawy were treacherously attacked
by the Cracovites, who, in concert with the inhabitants,
almost entirely destroyed them. Some days later the
Field Marshal received information that Dwernicki, with
a corps of 12 or 15,000 men, and 20 cannon, bad passed
the Vistula on the let. On the 2d he made an unexpected
attack on a detachment under the command of Major
General Kaver, and caused it some loss; but the courage
anti presence of mind of Colonel Tukotacheweki saved these

troops from a precipitate retreat, and they retired slowly and
in good ore'er. General Kreutz, however, thought he ought
not to wait in Lublin the arrival of an enemy so greatly
superior in number., who besides might draw troops from
Zamosc, and organise levies in the country. Ile, there-
fore, retired on the road of Pieski and Kranislasv, and
was on the sth beyond this town at Sychodel. On the
first news of the invasion of General Dwernicki, the Field
Marshal ordered 1:3 battalions to Laskerrew, there to join the
troops of Count Witt, who with his cavalry and part of
the Lithuanian cavalry of the guard, was to go to meet the
enemy. On the 7th a bridge was laid over the Wiepra at
Scharni, and on the 9th General Muratvieff ,iad already
occupied Pulawy. Strang parties were sent out to recon-
noitre in different directions, in order to obtain i forma-
i
tion of the enemy's march. The coomiand of a these
troops was given to Count Toll, Chief of the eneral
Staff. Should Dwernicki have the intention which many
of his officers have expressed of penetrating to Volhynia,
he will pay deafly for so rash an attempt. He will be cut
off from the Vistula, be taken in the flank and rear by the
detachment sent in pursuit of him, and will meet those
cantoned in Volhynii. The only resource he will then
have left will be to take refuge in Zamosc. The move-
ment of the troops ordered by the Field Marshal has
already produced its affect, and General Sierawaky, who
had marched to Pulawy with 6,000 men, in order to join
Dwernicki, and who had already advanced two marches,
has been obliged precipitately to retire over the Vistuls,
As two days incessant rain promised the breaking up of
the ice, the head-quarters have been removed to Sienica,
and the general corps of the army removed to such can-
tonments, that it will be possible to assemble them with
rapAity and ease at the point which will offer the greatest
advantages for passing over to the left bank of the Vistula.
As the rtbels observed that several bivouacs were de-
serted, they thought on the 10th that they might attempt
a sally from the Tete de Pont, but they were quickly re.
pulsed by the vanguard under the command of General
Geismar, and lost about 100 men. Among the kiiled is
an officer of rank, and another among the prisoners.
Colonel Micieleki has come twice from Warsaw to the
bead-quarters with a flag of truce, and bad both times an
audience-of the Field Marshal. The object of this mission
was to learn the conditions on which the Comminder-in-
Chief would consent to put an end to hostilities by a sus-
pension of arms. The Field Marshal required first of all
the complete submission of the Poles to the commands
contained in the manifesto of his Majesty the Emperor.
It seems that the Poles begin to be sensible that they can-
not successfully resist the Russian arms, and must in the
end be overcome. -

THE HAGUF., MARCH 22.—1 n the sitting of the second
Chamber of the States-General to-day, the Minister of
Finsace laid before the Assembly, in the name of the King,
the Budget for 1831, in a very long speech, and accom-
panied by a❑ explanatory memoir.
The Minister observed, that it was highly necessary to
provide immediately for the wants of the treasury. The
projects of law which he laid before the Assembly were
thirteen in number, of which he proposed to begin with the
twelfth, which is to order an advance of the personal tax.
A voluntary loan of 42 millions is proposed at six per
cent. interest, secured on the produce of the land-tax,
which will be deposited in the Bank of Amsterdam. The
shares to be 1,000 florins (950 florins only to be paid).
If the loan should not be filled up, there shall be a forced
contribution of 25 millions, for which bonds bearing four
per cent. interest shall be given.

The Alinister intimated that, reckoning frotn 1833, the
public expenditure will not exceed 46 millions.

A later protocol has been signed by the Congress at
London, the object of which, it is affirmed, is better to
enforce the resolution already taken by the Powers re-
specting Belgium.
We hear from Flushing that his Majesty's ship the
Zeecreo, of S-L guns, is fitting out with all speed.
Tug HAGUE, MARCH 24.—Prince Frederick set out
yesterday for Breda, whence he will go to the army.
It is reported that the Prince of Orange will soon go to
Luzernlung.
Her Royal Highness Princess Albert of Prussia (Prin-
cess Marianne of the Netherlands) has sent 5,000 florins
to the Minister of Finance, to be applied to the service of
the State.

Numerous promotions have been made in the army and
the navy.

FLORENCE, MARCH 10.—The entrance of the Imperial
troops into Ferrara and the Duchy of Modena, which was
soon known here, has caused the greatest joy, but has in-
spired the rebels with such panic and terror that most of
their chiefs have taken flight. Already, in the night of
the 6th instant, the following fugitives arrived here :
Messrs. NAM and del Rio, from Reggio ; Luigi Mussi,
from Parma; and from Bologna, the new Minister of Fo-
reign Affairs, Bianchetti, and four members of the Provi-
sional Government. It seems that they have lost their
courage. The Tuscan Government having intimated to

LONDON,
MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 28, 1831.

After deprecating the Reform Bill as one which
would upset the Constitution (by which they mean
themselves), annihilate the monied interest, deluge
England with blood, and sink it in the scale of na-
tions below even the level of a paltry German pro-
vince—after conjuring up phantom after phantom
of revolution, massacre, anarchy, and democratic
tyranny ;—the boroughmongers, finding all their ex-
ertions useless, have put an abrupt atop to their
horrid conjurations, and as a last resource come for-
ward to attack the Press. After tragedy comes
fares. Finding that Reform must be carried, they
have resolved to degrade the measure by impugning
the motives, and throwing obloquy on the character
of, its staunchest advocates. The cause must in-
deed be bad, the stock of logic necessary to support
it distressingly limited, when such a line of
defence is set up. What, are the boroughmongers
wholly at a stand-still for argument ? Is Mr.
CaoKEß's quiver emptied ? Is Mr. HORACE
Tvriss's last shaft spent ? Can Sir C. WETHERELL
put, forth no fresh absurdity ? Has the little, shal-
low, trickling streamlet of Sir R. PEEL'S eloquence
run itself dry ? In a word, are the boroughmongers
so completely in extremis that they are compelled, as
a last expiring, convulsive effort, to let fly their pop_
guns at the Press ? Unhappy Press, that is thus
exposed to such a thundering cannonade Still
more unhappy Editors, that are left at the mercy of
such a mighty dialectician as Mr. DAWSON !

This Gentleman presumed, an evening or two

since, to attack the Press as pandering—GOD save
the mark I.—to the faction of the Reformers. It is
scarcely worth while to reply to such trash, or we
could inform the Hon. Member—who has every po-
pular recommendation on earth except Constituents
—that though the Press is omnipotent in the right,
it is wholly without power in the wrong ;
that it can lend energy to a good, but not to a bad
cause ; that it can crush the boroughmongers, but
_ _

cannot deface a pillar of the sacred edifice of the
Constitution ; that, in fact, it represents tic judg-
ment and the intellect, not the passions or the pre-

judices, of the community. Had the Press, for in-
stance, supported the other side of the question ;
had it denied the necessity of Reform—when such
necessity was as visible to the lynx eye of reason as
the sun at noon day—it would not have gained a
single partizan, but would have sunk in popular
esteem, and most deservedly lost its high character
for ever. On what plea then of truth, justice, or
common sense does Mr. DAWSON presume to attack
the Press ? Does he expect to make it tremble,
and give way beneath his assaults, like the gates of
FRONT-Dr-Boxes castle beneath the blows of King
RICHARD'S battle-axe ? Does he hope to annihi-
late it by the energies of his superior intellect ?
Preposterous idea ! As well might the pigmy at-
tempt to slay the giant, or the dwarf to bend the
bow of ULYSSES !

But no, no ! The Honourable Member without
Constituents, is too shrewd, too experienced, to an-
ticipate any such triumph. His abuse of the Press
is the necessary consequence of his apprehension•.
He would have concealed his hostility, if he could,
but in spite of himself it overcame his discretion.
The cauldron was hissing hot, and the water of
ceuree boiled over.

As an organ (and no uninfhtential one) of that Press

which he has thus honoured by his malignity, we
conceive it our bounden duty to inform the Honour-
able Member without Constituents,—and in doing so,
we address our remarks not to him only, but to the
whole fraternity of the Anti-Reformers, of whose
sapience he is a most worthy representative—that
his and their day is past for ever; that the clock is
ready to strike ; that the Hand-writing has appeared
upon the wall ; that the awful warning has gone
forth to the borough mongers, " YOUR KINGDOM HAS
DEPARTED FROM YOU."

Does he ask for poofs of this assertion ? They
surround him in thronging multitudes; they accom-
pany his every step ; they haunt him night and day.
In town and country; in private and public assem-
blies ; in the Court, and in the dungeon ; in the
palace of the noble, and the hut of the peasant :
nothing is talked of; nothing thought of; nothing
dreamed of but Reform. Reform in the represen-

tation—Reform in the law—Reform in the church—
Reform in each and every department of the Con-
stitution ;—this is now the sole, unanimous, irre-
sistible demand of the nation. Wherever we go,
we hear of this, and nothing else. It was only
yesterday that in walking along the Hammersmith-
road, we overheard a group of labourers discussing
the merits of the Question, and the motives of its
opponents, in a style and Kith a spirit that would
have silenced the Hon. Member for Newport, and
have put even Mr. CROKER'S bronze to the blush.
Even with the theatre Reform has become a favou-
rite subject of speculation, and we ourselves can
bear testimony to the enthusiasm with which the
clever drama under that title has been received for
the last ten nights at the Coburg.

For their own sakes, then, we implore the
boroughmongers to consult the signs of the times
that are daily, hourly deepening round them,
and give up all further opposition. Should
they now concede, nothing further will be ex-
acted from them : but should they persevere in
their hostility to Reform, and resolve to die in the
last ditch—who shall say what amount of retribu-
tion an infuriated people may not:demand ; who shall
ssy what fearful lengths they may not, in their mad-
ness, be prepared to go ? When a law suit that has
long been pending between two parties is decided,
the loser is compelled not only to part with his
existing possessions, but even to make restitution
for every penny that he has for years been spending
of the winner's property. In like manner, may not
the people, following up the spirit of this analogy,
not only strip the boroughmongers of their present
illegal influence, but even call them to strict account
for all the sums—the immense—the countless sums
—they have for years and years been filching from
the public purse ? May not the people—when once
the success of the Reform Bill has proved that such
conduct was illegal—even arraign the boroughmongers
as traitors to the Constitution, and compel them to
pay back into the public treasury the hundreds—the
thousands—the millions of the public money they
have squandered on themselves—their mistresses—
and their mean, crouching, sycophantic slaves? May
the people not do all this, and even more ; and doing
this, will they not have justice, however stern, on
their side?

Again, then, in the spirit of the most earnest sin_
cerity, we entreat—we implore the boroughmongers
to give way ! To-day only is their's ; the morrow
belongs to the people; and when that morrow shall
have dawned, and found the bigots' still obstinate—
still unconvinced ; what, gracious GoD ! may not
be its setting ?On what scenes of rapine--of blood
—of massacre—may not its sun go down !

We have just received (two o'clock) the Ham-
burg Reporter of Friday last, from which we have
only room for the following extracts :
HAMBURG, MARCII 25.—The Prussian State Gazette
contains a semi-otficial letter from Siennica, the Russian
head-quarters, dated the 16th instant. It contains an ac-
count of several partial engagements, in which, as a matter
of course, the Russians were victorious, notwithstanding
the obstinate bravery with which the " rebels" defended
themselves.

At the village of Maluszyn, a detachment of about
1000 Polish militia-men were attacked by four squadrons
of Russian lancers. Two hundred men, including six
officers, were taken prisoners ; three hundred are described
to have been drowned in endeavouring to escape across
the river, and the remainder to hare been killed, or to have
perished in The flames !
Lublin has again fallen into the hands of the Russians,
after having on a former occasion expelled the garrison
left there by General Kreu!z. The defence of the inha-
bitants appears to have been gallant in the extreme, and
it was not till the dismounted cavalry of the Russians had
forced the barricades in the streets that the inhabitants
submitted.

General Clopieki's wounds (says the Austrian Ob-
server) are likely to detain him at Cracow for at least
eight weeks. The want of arms, particularly fire-arms
(says the same Paper), is sensibly felt by the Poles.
General Dwernicki, according to the latest accounts
from Warsaw, has thrown himself into Volhynia, in hopes
of being able to form a junction with a corps of about
fifteen thousand insurgent peasants collected in that province.
The van-guard of the Russian guards arrived in Ray-
grod on the 17th instant.

INTELLIGENCE.--(THIS DAY).

OURT OF CHANCERY.

'A
SUIT-CATCHER CAUGHT.

.dg of the Court a person of short stature, with a
iead, bald forehead, dressed in black, and wearing
• presented himself between the bar and the Bench
rely began to address the Court. In commencing
a paper to his Lordship, which on reading, his
could not be complied with. The individual called
lean, and said that he appeared on behalf of a poor
Nest, to ask for an injunction to restrain the sale
,xccutors. . _

CHANCELLOR said he could not interfere.
.11Iy Lord, I appear for this poor man, who is with-

cre ie

.istance. -
Dunnean said the poor man was now in Court. The Lord
:hancellor requested him to come forward. He did so, and
stated, in answer to questions put to him by his Lordship, that
le was a grocer, had no attorney, and was without money to em.
ply one. His Lordship then pointed out the mode by which he
might sue in forma pauperis.
'Sir E. SUGDEN requested to have the papers delivered to him,
ing he would look through them. In a short time afterwards
K Sugden called Dunnean to him, and asked, are you an ac-
countant ? Dunnean—l am.
Sir E. SUGDEN—I suppose you charge the plaintiff, as you
.re pleased to style him in these papers, more than any attorney
would do ?
Dunnean—No, I do not, I do not charge him any thing.
Sir E. SUGDEN—I do not believe a word of it. How dare
sou come here and state that there is a suit existing, when in
point of fact there is no such suit ? Are you aware that you
may be sent to the Fleet ? You have interfered here as an
attorney, and I have no doubt you have charged the poor fellow
pretty well for it. You are one of those catching fellows that
ought to be put down. Stand back, Sir.
Dunnean withdrew to the end of the bar. In about ten
tinutes subsequently,
Sir tE. SUGDEN said—My Lord, I hare now read these
papers, and this really is a matter that ought to be taken notice
of. The person who comes forward on this occasion .s the cham-
pion of the needy, calls himself George Dunnean, of Doctors'
Commons, in the City of London, Accountant and Estate
Agent ; and,he is drawing affidavits, very technically head-
ing them in a cause, that cause being between -Thomas
West and his wife against the Governors and Company of the
Bank of England. My opinion is, that he is acting as an attor-
ney, and I draw the inference that he will charge about ten
times as much as any attorney would do for this business. I
we never seen any thing more improper. First of all, the rules
the Court give an opportunity to every poor man to come and
as a pauper, and no poor man with the slightest claim can
.e the least difficulty in finding both solicitors and Counsel to
. for him ; but nothing seems to me to require reprobation so
loch as these accountants and estate agents ferreting out causes
bringing forward such cases as the present. There is not
slightest pretence for asking for an injunction in this ease.
Dunnean—What I mean—
Sir E SUGDEN—You ought to hold Your tongue, Sir.
The LORD CHANCELLOR—CertaidIy you have no business
Court at all.

Sir E. SUGDEN—It is clear this person has power to deceive
;hers so far as to make them suppose he is capable of doing that
.vhich he is totally incapable, and upon which he is totally igno-
rant. He issues a dieringas on stock over which he has no
power; he prevents the stock from being transferred; he puts
,the party to great expense, and then he comes here asking for an
'lnjunction.
Dunnean—l hope I may be allowed to answer this gentleman,
;Inch I consider myself capable of doing. The poor man came
me some time ago ; he stated that his uncle and mother were
wasting his father's property. I made inquiry into the circum-
stances. I found they had sold out hundreds of pounds' worth
c stock. I went to the Bank of England and petitioned the
iovernors, finding that the stock was to come to this poor man
and his children in reversion. The uncle and the mother are

;ecutor and executrix. They have gone on selling out all the
stock, collected the book-debts, and applied the money to their
own use, and are now going to sell out more of the stock.
The LORD CHANCELLOR—But I cannot hear a person
no eovirt3el, and who does not appear himself ; you have
right to speak.
Dunnean—l aria competent to tell your Lordship the state of

its poor man.
The LORD CHANCELLOR—No person is competent to
,come into a Court of Justice and make an attack upon the cha-
racter of individuals in public merely upon the information of
party. Dunnean—This is ex_parte.
The LORD CHANCELLOR—Ex-parte! You talk about
sings you know nothing about. Let me warn you of one
iing—there is a statute made which gives very severe penalties
;ainst persons—and commitment to prison for twelve months
no uncommon thing under that Statute. Penalties against
person taking upon himself to act as an attorney, he not being
11 attorney. Are you aware of that ?
Dunnean—l sin.
The LORD CHANCELLOR—Then take care of it, for I can
tell you this is very like acting as an attorney.
Dunnean—l don't think it is. .

The LORD CHANCELLOR—Then I can tell you, if you
ill not have it, that I never saw any thing more like it. My
pinion is, that it is, for you draw an affidavit technically, and
make it exactly as an item in an attorney's bill.
DunnPan—He has commenced a suit. He has issued a dial ringas.
The LORD CHANCELLOR—WeII, when you issue did_
fringes and draw affidavits, as in a-cause, you really take upon
'ourself to act as an attorney.
Dunnean—West has done it in his own person.
The LORD CHANCELLOR—Do you charge him any
sing ? Dunnean—No, nothing whatever.
The LORD CHANCELLOR—Very well.
Dunnean—And that gentleman (pointing to Sir E. Sugden)
mows that I have got thousands and thousands out of the Court,
le transfer of which has been opposed.
Sir E. SUGDEN—I know so such thing—l believe no such
thing. I believe you arc acting as an attorney, and you are sa-
tisfied you would have a considerable share of this if any thing
rere to be got.
Dunnean—What right have you to say so ?
Sir E. SUGDEN—Because its your trade—l know it to be so. •
Dunnean—You say so, because you are aware I have got
hundreds and: hundreds out of this Court, which you have un-
iuccessfully opposed.
Sir E. SUG SEN—No such thing, and I only wish to warn
people from going to you. I know that no poor person will go
to yen without having to pay infinitely snore for it than they
could have to pay to a regular attorney. I also know that
then I attended at the Fleet Prison, crowds of solicitors Caine
forward to give their assistance, without ever dreaming of re-
ceiving a shilling for their services ; therefore it is not true to
circulate that poor persons were not to have both Counsel and
atomics to do their business for them gratuitously.
The LORD CHANCELLOR—I have known solicitors ac-
tually pay money out of their own pockets.
Sir E. SUGDEN—Yes, over and over again, and I warn poor
people from going to such a person as this.
Dunnean—l will prove--
The LORD CHANCELLOR—I tell you, Sir, you must go
Away. A Counsel has a right to be heard, a party has a right to
be heard'; but you have no right to speak.
Dunnean—But he (pointing to Sir E. Sugden) is charging me
with that which is untrue.
The LORD CHANCELLOR—No, no. It may be satisfac-
tory to Mr. West to know, that if his case had been in the hands
of Counsel Ills olliect.could not have been obtained.
Sir E. SUGDEN—Certainly, and I wish the party distinctly to
understand, that if it could have been got, I should certainly
have asked your Lordship for the injunction.
-_,.,Dunnean—lt is only for an injunction.
'Sir E. SUG DEN—Really, is it to be endured that every per-
son is to come here and talk about things he does not understand
is, this pertinacious way ?
The LORI) CHANCELLOR—Yes; and it shall not be again.
Dunnean—l come here for the sake of humanity.
Sir E. SUGDEN—I don't believe a word of it.
Dunnean (as he was withdrawing from the end of the Bar)—l
know you are angry, because you have not got a fee.—(Laugh ter.)
The LORD CHANCELLOR—That's very likely, when Sir
Edward volunteered to look through the papers and to act.
Sir E. SUGDEN—I think so.
