advantage; for nothing. We say nothing ; but we
might say that a rich Peer has a distinct interest in
putting an end to the boroughmongering system, by
hich he gains less than is drawn from him unnecessa-
rily through a wasteful expenditure of the public
money. Mr. Devereux,in a pamphlet in the shape ofa
letter to the people of England, on Lord John Rus-
cell's Reform Bill, observes, that if the schemes of
Ikey Solomons had not been stopped short by the
law, " he would have been 'as good a
.boroUghmon-'
ger as the best of them; but'Would that'halie con-
stituted him one of the legitimate aristocracy ? It
would not. Therefore nothing can be more unjust
than those attempts incessantly made to bring odium
on English gentlemen—the legitimate aristocracy of
England—by confounding them with boroughmon-
gers." The boroughmongers would offer up the re-
ligion and morality of the people on the altar of
'heir Moloch. But the sentence has gone forth,
that boroughmongering shall be at an end. We
know that the Lords will not throw out the Bill,
because we \vi il not suppose any set of men in this
country so absurdly mad as to presume that they can
prevent the execution of the great measure to which
the English people look for their political regeneration.
We would, therefore, wish to allay the alarms of
those at a distance, who think worse of the discre-
tiou of the Lords than they ought. As brave and
manly Britons, we eanuoi:, perhr,ps, blame them for
being en their guard. But we believe in our hearts
that there will be no call on their resolution. The
Lords know that, the nation is on this occasion as
one man; and they will be prudent and wise. The
people of Glasgow will have no call for their black
Lags, that from steeple to steeple the melancholy
tidings may he proclaimed through the land.—
Morning Chronicle.

We are not a little amused with the cool confi-
dence assumed in the paragraph of an Evening
Contemporary of yesterday, which assures us that
it is now believed that the opposition to the Re-
farm Bill 'will be much less in the House of Lords
than the friends of the measure had anticipated.
Our Contemporary has evidently been imposed upon
by some wag; but it is rather a cruel joke on a Paper
which is desirous of being in good odour with the
Government to make it insert a piece of irony
which in the present circumstances of the Ministers
they will feel very keenly. We are rather surprised
that a journal, not generally deficient in sharpness,
should have been taken in by so palpable a quiz;
for the author of the paragraph goes on to say, that
the Duke of Wellington is much less disposed then
he was to oppose the Ministers, although his Grace's
opinions on the subject of Reform may have under-
gone no change ! Is it not strange that this ludicrous
nonsense should have passed for a moment as serious
intelligence ? Our Contemporary has been caught
napping; had it only referred to the Time: of the
morning, it would have ;pen how the affair really
stands between the Ministers and their hopes of
success in the House of Peers. They are, in truth,
io a very great frigfit, and wish for nothing so
heartily as to get rid of this Reform Bill without
bringing it before the Lords, well knowing that
this is their only chance of holding place until the
commencement of another Session, and of giving
them tit chance of any thing that may occur in the
interim to enable them to keep in. Put thin is im-
possible. They are too ignorant of business to be
able to carry on the affairs of the country. Blunders
arid failures rise up in every direction where they
hove attempted to do ,any thing, and the disgust
against them is becoming general. They know
this too; arid, with the knowledge pressing heavy
upon them, to be gravely told by one of their own
newspapers that they prosper exceedingly with the
House of Lords, is rather too bad.—Morning Post.

PARIS, JULY s.—To-day, at two o'clock, the
King received, at the Paleis Royal, the compli-
ments and congratulations of the Diplomatic Body.
Her Majesty the queen, the Prince and Princesses
of the Royal Family, and the King's Ministers were
present on the occasion.
The Parliamentary operations of the Colleges of
Paris have been accomplished to-day with the
greatest order. Persons of all opinions have agreed
in acknowledging the securities with which the
electoral right has been this year invested.' No com-
plaint has been made. The results that are known
must satisfy the friends of order and liberality. The
punctuality which the electors have shown, is a
pledge of that which they will show to-morrow to
complete their work,
The accounts already received from the Depart-
ments announce an equally favourable result.

(From the Message?. des Chambres, July 7.)

PARTS, JULY s.—The German Journals received
this morning, contain no news from Poland. The
Prussian Stale Gazette has not come to hand of 4
later date than the 23d June.

The Pi!vie du Calvados says, that the appear.
:Ince of the crops is more favourable than it has been
for many years, and it is hoped, that if the fine
weather continues, the harvest wilt turn out most
abundant and very early. These favourable ap.
pearances have caused a fall in the prices of corn,
which had risen considerably. The crop of hay baa
been extremely satisfactory to the farmer.
A letter from Calais of July 3, says, " that thg
importation of coin has amounted this week to two
millions fifty thousand francs."
SWITZERLAND, CANTON OF FRIIIIJR(i.—In the
Sitting of 25th June, the Great Council adopted
a Decree which places that body very high in public
opinion, and forms a singular contrast with what
is passing in other countries; the following is the
Decree ;--

AnT. 1. All the citiiens condemned for political opi-
nions in 1814, deserved well of their country s the still sub.
sisting effects of their sentences against them are annulled.
" 2. The sums which Messrs. Francois Due Chaperis,
Advocate ; Joseph Pearaman, Joseph Wieky, Jean Joseph
Combat, Ancient Councillor ; Ch. Voulanten G. D'Affry,
Blanc, Ancient Cour.cillor ; Jacques Wieky, Monard,
Surgeon ; and Fourneer, Advocate, have bad to pay undef
the title of damages, shall, on their application, be repaid
to them or to their heirs.

" 3. The repayment shall be made by equal annual in -
st ilments of one• third, beginning from the Ist Jan. 1832."

The Gazelle de France of Wednesday has a long
article against the remarks of some English Papers
on the supposed plans of the Duchess of Berri ; and
in reply to the Conslilulionnel , which stetes that
letters from Spain announce that the Duchess of
Berri, as Regent of the kingdom for Henry V., had
appointed a Council, consisting of Messrs. de Blacas,
D'Haussez, de Montbel, &c. &c. &c. The Gazette
sar—" All this is a tissue of extravagancies, which
have no foundation whatever. What we can affirm
is, that if so Mad ap enterprise were to take place,
no person of Monarchical sent;ra,znts would join in
it either in the south or in the west. The pert of
the Royalists is defence, and never aggression.

DUTCH PAPERS.
THE HAGUE, JULY s.—Nothing is yet certainly
known with respect to the answer of our Govern-
ment to the new proposals of the conferences at
London. Some persons afirm that these proposals
are mit approve 4 on our side, and that they have
given occasion toe nary gnerptig protest. These
however, are at present but mere reports. It seems
probable, according to the natural course of events,
that we have no positive information respecting the
answer which the Government may give, or have
already given, before it has been transmitted to the
Conference at London. Baron Von Wessenburg
is still here and had yesterday the honour of dining
with the King. It is supposed he will leave the
Hague by the end of the week.
His Excellency Lieutenant-General Cort Heili-
gers addressed on the 22d June a letter to his Excel-
lency the Governor of South Holland, highly com-
mending the excellent conduct of the militia of South
Holland, under his command.

General de Kock has for the
present fixed his head-
