answer to a question by Lord G. BEN—
tr'alllCK last night in the House of Commons re-
iieeting the march of the French army, Lord
hi4Lt`lEitsroN stated in substance what we
-errtioned in The Sun yesterday, that the oc-
rhciLiOn
of Belgium by French troops would
i~paSicontinue during the period of the Dutch
vasicm, after which they would retire.
All this sounds very fine, but what will the
bte'' eh army do with Prussia ? Retire from the
litirch frontiers, and leave the Prussian army in
h 114nd, ready to rush in immediately the French
4e retired, and thus give them the same trouble
:vet again. Oh, no ! The French army is
:vet
set in motion, and it will cost Louis
HILIPPE his throne to recall that victorious
army within the limits of France without asserting
the independence of Poland—and consequently
hshingPrussia for her gross breach of neu-
trality. I s ie to talk of the French army
retiring after driving back a few thousand
towardly Dutchmen, and measuring their swords
Ivith some turncoat Prussians. The thing is
tkliculous. Besides, have we yet learnt the
derision of the French Chamber on the Address?

VENICE, JULY 19 —We have received accounts from
Scutari to the 3d instant. They state that the Pacha of
Scutari has already taken advantage of the singular re-
missness that has for some time past been observed in the
military operations of the Grand trritier. On the 20th of
June he sent 0,000 men, lender the command of one of
his relations, against the division of the Sultan's troops
under izied MCliemed Pacha, ordered to besiege Scutari.
They met at Alesso, and the troops of Scutari attacking
with impetuosity, gained a decided victory. As soon as
this news arrived at Scutari, the courage of the inhabi-
tants revived. Mustapha Pacha immediately ordered a new
levy of one man per house, and thus raised his force to
15,000 men. On the Ist, he marched in person agrinst the
Grand Vizier, intending to attempt a decisive blow. When
our accounts came away, the result of this operation was
not known in Scutari. The greatest anxiety was felt, as
it is evident that the fate of Mustapha Pacha will be soon
decided ; nobody believes that he will be victorious.
VIENNA, JULY 27.—The statement of the death of Ge-

dom of Lombardy and Venice, was premature, but he is
so ill, in consequence of an attack of gout in the stomach,
that his life is despaired of.

ST. PETERSBURG 11, JULY 16. —Notice has been given,
that by the Emperor's order the quarantine and sanitary
cordons in several Owes are going to be suppressed. In
the communication by water the barks will be stopped
only a short time for the inspection of their crews. The
cholera patients whom they may have on board shall be
sent to the hospitals, and the barks shall proceed on their
voyage after the clothes and the rest of the crew have been
fumigated.
In the assembly of the merchants held on the Sth July,
the major of St. Petersburgh stated that the Emperor
had been pleased to send for him, and to order him to
have an licspital with one hundred beds fitted up in
every quarter of the capital, for the reception of persons
attacked with the cholera, and that his Majesty had placed
at his disposal for this purpose a sum of one hundred and
thirty thousand rubles from the Imperial treasury. The
merchants, desirous of concurring in the execution of this
order, resolved that the merchants of each class shall con-
tribute towards the formation and organization of these hos-
pitals a subscription to the amount of one per cent. of their
declared capital, which will produce about one hundred
and sixty thousand rubles.
The number of persons attacked with the cholera at St.
Petersburgh since its first appearance (July 17) was 6,221
—deaths, 3,012 ; recovered,76l ; remain, 2,451.

A Select Committee, we perceive, has been
appointed to enquire into the possibility of ren-
dering the House of Commons more commo-
dious and less unwholesome. Colonel TRENCH
has published two plans illustrative of this sub-
ject, which we have seen, and which we think
likely to answer, though they are not car-
ried to a sufficient extent. The House of
Commons to be rendered truly commo-
dious, should be enlarged to a much
greater degree than the Gallant Colonel sup-
poses, for the mere addition of room for one
hundred Members is no very wonderful improve-
ment. If the interior of the House be sub-
jected to alteration, it should be altered effectu-
ally, so as to make the improvement final.

In the House of Commons last night, in the
Committee on the Game Laws Bill, Lord AL-
THORP moved several judicious resolutions,
among them were, first, " that a 21. license
should privilege to sell game," secondly, " that
the Bill now before the House should take effect
twenty days after it had become law." After
some desultory and unimportant discussion,
both these propositions were agreed to. Several
amendments were afterwards moved, and among
the number was one excluding innkeepers, pub-
licans, coachmen, guards, and carriers from being
entitled to have certificates for the sale of
game. We are always glad when the
subject of the game laws is made the
theme of discussion in either House of Par-
liament, for as at present regulated, they are the
most absurd and tyrannical, and inefficient pos-
sible ; filling our gaols with felons, inundating
the country with poachers, confounding all the
distinctions of crime, and perpetuating a system
of misrule and tyranny throughout every province
in the kingdom. Lord ALTHORP'S improve-
ments—for the details of which we refer our
readers to the debate—are very considerable,
and tend, so far as they go, to let in the
light of intelligence and liberality on the
present detestable game monopoly. On
one particular clause, which his Lordship
proposed, " for inflicting on persons who should
lay nets on Sundays, and should use poison for
the purpose of destroying game, a fine of 51.,"
Colonel SIBTHORPE proposed that the punish-
ment should be increased for each offence, and
urged a protracted imprisonment for the third
offence. On what principle the Honourable
and Gallant Member proposed his amendment
to this effect we cannot for the life of us
discover ; possibly his devotional spirit was
shocked at the idea of such an iniquity be-
ing committed on the Sabbath ; or, what
is more probable, he conceived that to violate
the liberty of the subject in the person of a
woodcock, to abstract a stray widgeon, or play
the apothecary with a Lincolnshire pike or eel,
were offences commensurate in enormity with
burglary or highway robbery, and should be
punished accordingly. Colonel SIBTHoRPE's
absurd amendment was negatived, as a matter of
course, but he has the consolation of knowing
that he has done his best to degrade the dignity
of justice by unduly increasing the severity of,
the laws, and may take refuge in the soothing
reflections of a good conscience.

Lord FiTzROY held a Levee this morning at
the office of the Commander-in-Chief, at the
Horse Guards, which was very numerously
attended by General Military Officers.

GOD A RESPECTER OF PERSONS.—..prince
PHILIP died at Paris on the 27th September, 1693, arid
his death gave occasion to a trait of feudal vanity that de-
serves to be cited. The annotator of the Memoirs of
D'Anjou thus speaks of him :—" This Prince, a great
sharper, and a great debauchee, died very suddenly. They
were moralising thereupon in presence of the Marechale de
MEILLIERIE, with great doubts of his salvation." " I assure
you," said the Illarechale, very seriously, " that with res-
pect to the people of that quality, GOD thinks twice before
damning them."—Lardner's cabinet Library.

Mr. PAULDING, in his new and universally-
admired novel, entitled " The Dutchman's Fire-side,"
has made great use, in the conduct of his plot, of the
agency of jealousy, which is developed in a series of rapid
incidents fully worthy of the pen of the author's early
friend and coadjutor, Mr. WAstitxGrosr Ixvrxc. Io
rtading " The Dutchman's Fireside," the fine and fresh
descriptions of Transatlantic scenery, which are scattered
here and there throughout the volumes, will not fail to
arrest the reader of taste ; and these alone, independently
of the dratiatic power of the work, will, in our opinion,
be thought to stamp the author as second to few living
novelists.
