LONDON,
THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 30, 1831.

The King of FRANCE returns to Paris this
day from his electioneering journey. During
his various progress Louis PHILIP must have
witnessed the deep sympathy felt by the French
people for the brave Poles ; and now, if his
MAJESTY does not interfere in favour of that
heroic nation, we shall not be sorry if the
cholera morbus were to pay himself and
his non-intervention Ministry a timely visit
The Citizen KING cannot surely be so blind as
not to perceive the signs of the times ! Can
he then affect to doubt that but for the gal-
lantry of the Poles—reposing their faith on the
national gratitude of France—that the Russian,
Prussian, Austrian,—aye, and the Dutch armies,
would have been long ere now demanding the
King of the FRENCH to abjure his " revolu-
tionary errors ?" Nay, can Louis PHILIP
already forget that he owes the recognition of
Russia solely to the thunder of Polish cannon ?
The terror of that sound converted the manifesto
which NICHOLAS was issuing forth against re-
volutionary France into a recognition of her
Citizen KlNG—and yet Louis PHILIP hesitates
to be just—to be grateful ! Cannot he learn
from the folly of others, that it may be too late
even for himself to be wise ? He has nothing
to fear from England—who only waits to hoist
the royal standard of Reform—why then does
the King of a free people oppose the wish of
that people—while yet his compliance may carry
with it the grace of favour—and direct the na-
tional will ?.

Brussels and German Papers have been re-
ceived this morning, but their contents are not
important. The National Congress seem to
have been nearly unanimous in voting the
Budget of ways and means for what may happeizl
--108 being for it, and only three against it.
This day the Deputation will announce the suc-
cess of their -mission to Prince LEOPOLD ; so
that by Saturday we may know the result.
We strongly suspect, however, that Russian
hypocrisy is at work in Holland, and that
its effects may be seen in the obstinacy of the
old KING endeavouring to counteract the
good intentions of France and England for a
speedy settlement of the Belgic question. The
members of the Holy Alliance cannot help see-
ing that Belgium once disposed of, France will
be at liberty to look to Poland. The sooner
the better, we say :
BRUSSELS, JUNE 26.—One of the sons of M. Casimir
Perier arrived here yesterday morning. He is going to
Hanover as Secretary of Legation.
La Belle says, " The Directing Committee of the Na-
tional Association, in its Sitting the evening before yes-
terday, resolved to remonstrate against the announcement
of the pretended resolution, which the Emancipation sup-
poses to have been taken, to cause the tocsin to be sounded
on the 30th instant, if the Prince of Saxe Coburg had
not accepted the crown. There was, indeed, some men-
tion in the Committee, not in a deliberation, but in a
simple conversation, of the means of calling the people to
arms if war should break out, and the tocsin was spoken
of, but it is incorrect to say that any resolution was taken
on the subject."
M. Adolphus Bonnier, one of the valets de chambre of
the King of Holland, was thrown into prison at Antwerp
on the 24th. It seems that his arrest is owing to the be-
lief that he is entrusted with a special mission.
In the sitting of the National Congress yesterday, the
budget of the ways and means was agreed to by a majority
of 108 to 3.

VIENNA, JUNE 17.—T0-day again a battalion of fron-
tier troops, a regiment of infantry of the line, and a regi-
ment of light-horse, marched through this city, the last
will be cantoned in the environs. Great apprehensions
are felt by the public respecting the cholera, though our
Government has taken such measures that it is believed
the capital has nothing to fear from it.
Public attention is much engaged by the affairs of
Belgium since the election of Prince Leopold, and his re-

fugal .to accept the crown, as it is now feared more that
ever, that this affair may in the end, bring on a war. On'
funds have declined and cannot recover. Baron Von Mu•
nick Bellinghausen, President of the Diet, will immediate!)
return to Frankfort. 6%`

M. de Kerr Zinger, Secretary to Charles; X., is gon
hack to Scotland, and will probably not return to View a
for the present, as it appeara that his master and his family
remain in Scotland till a more positive opinion can he
formed of the turn that the affairs of France will take•
This may serve as a contradiction of all the re
ports respecting the future residence of the de-
throned Monarch, respecting some distinguished person
who are at this moment out of France, reports whirl
ire spread by ill disposed persons. We have hardly any
news from Poland, except from the Prusian Stab
Gazette,—we learn, however, in consequence of a move
went of the garrison of Zamosc towards the frontiers o'
Gallicia, a smart action took place in which the Russia,•
had the advantage. The position of the army of Mel:-
Marshal Diehitach gives room shortly to expect deci.iv,
events. From the Turkish frontiers we hear nothing,
except that some bands of robbers have again committee
excesses in the Austrian territory, and have been severely
chastisNl for it.
P.S. JUNE S.—We have just received from the Russia,.
head-quarters at Uleczetwo, the unexpected intelligence
that Field-Marshal Diebitscb was carried off by the cholera
on the 10th instant.

The mistake which had inadvertently crept
into the Reform Bill, respecting the payment of
rent half-yearly by 101. householders, is to be
forth ►vith corrected in the Committee. The
following is Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S letter upon
the subject to a Member of Parliament :

" Whitehall, June 29.

" Sin,—ln answer to ):Mr letter respecting the clause
in the Reform Bill, • which rs quires the payment of rent
half-yearly, I have to assure you, that the only object in
view was to secure a yearly tenancy of a 101. house, ac-
cording to the term ' yearly rent' in the original Bill.
When the Bill goes into Committee, I shall propose such
an amendment of the clause as shall be found to defeat the
evasion of the original clause, and at the same time cor-
rect the error of the present wording.
" I remain your obedient servant,

" J. RUSSELL.

" To W. Rigby Wason, Esq., M.P."

. _
To show the deep interest with which the
public look into the provisions of the Bill, we
insert the following, which we received this
morning from that influential body, the Bir-
mingham Political Union :

At a meeting of the Council of the Birmingham Poli-
tical Union, held at the Globe-tavern, Temple-street,
June 27, 1831,

THOMAS ATTWOOJ,, Esq., in the Chair;

It was resolved unammously—" That a respectful me-
modal from this Council be forthwith presented to his
Majesty's Ministers, expressive of their deep anxiety and
alarm at some of the alterations which are proposed to be
made in the Reform Bill, which this Council considers to
be altogether destructive of the principles of the Bill, and
calculated to spread universal discontent throughout the
country." By order of the Council,
BENJ. HADLEY, Secretary.
Birmingham, June 28, 1831.

In our Marylebone Police Report will be
found one of those flagrant cases of moral tur-
pitude which the law, as at present constituted,
seems wholly unable to reach. We direct our
reader's attention to it, for it is one well worthy
of consideration.

In another part of The Sun will be found an
address to his MAJESTY from the Archbishop,
Bishops, and Clergy of the province of Can-
terbury, together with his MAJESTY'S most
gracious reply. The address, which is
carefully worded, affords little room for com-
ment ; it is unobjectionable though superflu-
ous, and talks of the tranquillity of the
country having of late been " partially dis-
turbed by the spirit of violence," which we
humbly conceive is matter for civil, not clerical
interference. We regret to see the Clergy coming
forward to advise his MAJESTY on points with
which they have little or nothing to do. If the
country has been " partially disturbed," it is for
the strong arm of the law, not of the Church,
to interpose its authority. Of the Clergy's
praises of themselves we have nothing to say ;
Sir R. PEEL in this instance has set them an
edifying example, which they do right to follow.
But we must protest against their declaration that
" the truths of divine revelation are publicly held
up to derision;" we never knew a time when
there was less infidelity abroad than at present,
though we also never knew a time when the
real functions of the Clergy were so generally
understood, and so keenly inquired into. The
age is one:of shrewdness and inquisitiveness, not
of irreligion or disaffection. The Ministers of the
Gospel, so long as they confine themselves to
their own duties, and discharge them with
zeal, are as much, and even more respected,
than ever ; but we will not conceal the fact that
they are looked after by the public with a most
zealous, learned, and scrutinizing eye. So much
the better for the interests of true religion,
though it may not, perhaps, square exactly
with the notions of pluralists and reverend
sinecurists. His MAJESTY'S reply is tem-
perate and dignified. His gratitude for his
loyal Clergymen's address stops discreetly short
on this side enthusiasm: He declares that he
will support all the just rights and privileges of
the Church, and trusts to the meek spirit of
Christian charity to do its utmost to defeat the
efforts of the infidel. His MAJESTY observes,
moreover, that he receives with the highest sa-
tisfaction the assurance of his Clergy that they
will not object to the utmost freedom in the dis-
cussion of religious subjects, which may be re-
quired for the elucidation of truth.

plainant.) JACK'S Counsel asked him to explain what he
meant by the word entice. " What do I mean," Sir,"

That's what I calls enticing."
