HAMBURG AND GERMAN PAPERS.

HAMBURG,. APRIL 12.—The Prussian State Gazette
of yesterday contains the. following :
" According to the latest intelligence from Meniel the
Russian garrison of Polangen left that place during the
night, between the sth and 6th instant, and retreated
upon the Prussian territory."
From Konigsberg they write that the defeat of the in-
surgents, near Rossientia, is confirmed by later accounts
from the Russian frontier. The insurgents suffered se-
verely on the occasion, several being killed by the shot,
and a still greater number driven into the Duhissa and
drowned. Their leader, a landholder from the vicinity of
Ropollen, was taken prisoner. In the direction of
Georgenburg, the frontier is still occupied by the in-
surgents, so that we are without any positive information
as to the extent of the insurrection. In Georgenburg the
insurgents have plundered the house of several fugitive
functionaries."

The St.' Petersburg Mail ,of the 30th ult. reached
Hamburg► this morning, having been brought from Libel'
to Memel by water. The papers contain but little matter
of interest, hut the private letters are curious, in as far as
they betray a perfect confidence in the prompt and satis-
factory termination of the Polish war.
WARSAW, Aram I.—Our papers now contain Gen.
Skrzynecki's circumstantial report of the victory of Dembe-
Wielkie, all the principal points of which are already be.
fore the public. A part of our army is said to be ad-
vancing, by forced marches, towards. Bialystock, in order
to attack the Russian Guard encamped there. Detach-
ments are also said to have been sent northward front Ks-
luszyn, to destroy tee bridges over the Bug, by which
means it is expected the retreat of the guards encamped
between that river and the Narew will be cut off.
When our troops arrived Kaluszyn last Friday the
Jews of tha place, though high prices Were offered, re-
ftked to sell our soldiers any provisions, asserting that the
Russians had taken everything from them by accident ;
ho.vever, a stock of eatables was discovered concealed in one
of the houses. Hereupon a search ensued, and our brave
fellows were soon abundantly supplied. The evening be-
t'ore last intelligence was received that the Polish troop,
had taken up positions in the vicinity of Laskarzew and Ze..
lechow. The Russian army had retreated on the Wieprz,
their held quartets being at Ryki. Under these circum-
stances a pitched battle is likely to be fought either to-
day or to-morrow on the plains of Mawjowice. It was
reported at Berlin on Sunday evening that the expected
battle had been fought, and that• the result bad been de.
cidedly favourable to the Poles.

LUBECK, APRIL 10.—A ship arrived to day in six
days from Libau. The letters are,,still on board. We
hear from the passengers that there was great agitation at
Liban. A ship was stationed at the mouth of the harbour,
on board which all the effects and money of the Govern-
ment, and also the coffers of the Custom. house at Polan-
gen had been sent, in order to pet to sea immediately if the
danger should become more imminent. There were no
troops in Libau, but five or six hundred were daily ex-
pected.

BBKLLN, Aram 10.—An English courier, on his way
to Russia, has been obliged to return to Memel, not being
able to proceed on account of the disturbance at Polangen.
MEMEL, Aran. 6.—The last two mails from Russia
have not arrived here, because the troubles in Samoglia,
which have spread to a great extent, have rendered the
roads unsafe, and the insurgents occupied Polangen last
night. The last two mails for Russia have been sent
from here by sea to Libau, from which place the first of
the two due from Russia arrived herr also .by sea in the
evening.

BERLIN, APRIL lo.—On the 7th inst. General Lili-
enstern left this city on a mission to the Courts of Bavaria,
Wurtemburg, and B 'den, with which, as we learn from
good authority, Prussia will probably conclude an alliance
for an armed neutrality. •
STOCKHOLM, Aram l.—One the 23d ult. seven ships,
loaded with wheat, sailed Jr .m Ma'aloe for England, and
several English ships were expected, for which cargoes of
wheat had been purchased by Danish agents. The ex-
portation of corn from our kingdom remains free, not-
withstanding the scarcity in some places ; still importa-
tion is rendered impossib e by the high dtities.
One of our Journals affirm*, that orders have been sent
to Carlscrona to put all the ships of our fleet into such a
state, that they may be armed and, equipped at the shortest
notice.

BRUNSWICK, APRIL 9,—A considerable number of
horses are wanted for the contingent d our troops required
to join the army of the confederation.
In the next fortnight, two regiments of cavalry, and
some of infantry—about eight thousand men in-
march through our Duchy.
(A shnikr notice for the purchase of horses has .besa
given at Hanover.)

Letters from Mecklenburg say—" We hear that two
battalions of our troops of the line, two companies of light
infantry, and 160 cavalry, are ordered to be in readiness to
march by 20th April."
THE HAGUE, ArEIL 14.—Yesterday morning the
King and Queen returned to this town from Amsterdam.
Their Majesties, OH leaving that city, expressed theirgra—
tification at the cordial and loyal reception they met with
from the citizens of the capital.
We hear from several quarters that the Government
will shortly lay before the States-General a modified tariff
of customs, which, it is affirmed, will be conformable to
the principles of free trade formerly adopted in Holland.
We have accounts fionrltatavia to December 4. They
mention a dreadful fire that had taken place in the Chinese
camp at Sample.

LONDON,
MONDAY EVENING, APRIL 18, 1831.

The Reform question comes on again this evening
in the House of Commons. The faction, it is said,
will muster strong on the occasion, but if Ministers
be firm and stick to their text, they cannot, fail to
conquer. Let them rest assured that the whole
kingdom to a man is with them ; that the people
have decided that the Bill, and nothing but the Bill,
shall be carried; and that whatever be the difficul-
ties Ministers have to contend against, the country
will support them at all hazards, and never rest un-
til they be triumphant.

. The German Journals raen.tion that another grand
battle had been fought between the Russians and
Poles, in which the latter had decidedly the advan-
tage.

By the French Papers we learn that the French
Cabinet has received, what it calls, a satisfactory
answer from Austria: that is to say, the Aus-
trian troops have promised to evacuate the
Papal dominions, though not, it will be perceived,
before they have already done as much mischief to
the cause of,non-interv,ention,as could possibly be
compassed within the time.

We have only room to-day for the following na-
val news from the Partsnzouth Herald of yesterday :
" His Majesty's ship Ariadne, 28, Captain Charles
Phillips ; Despatch, IS, Com. E. A. Frankland ;
Nautilus, 10, Commander Right Hon. Lord George
Paulett ; and Savage, 10, Corn. Right Hon. Lord E.
Russell, sailed yesterday evening, with sealed ordeis.
The reports, as to their destination, are not to be de-
pended on. But we incline rather to believe that they are
intended for Lisbon.

" His Majesty's ship Aettron, 26, Captain the lion. F.
W. Grey (fitted for the Mediterranean station), went out
of harbour yesterday, and is expected to sail on Wednes-
day next. Commander Win. Smith (b),lappo;nted to the
Phdomel, will take passage in the Actaeon to join that
sloop."
The destination of these vessels is supposed to be
Li,bon ; but they are not to open their orders till off
the Lizard Point. We should not be surprised to learn
that they are bound for the coast of Poland, in or-
der to protect British interests in that quarter. In
deed we know that four vessels of war were seen
well out in the Channel steering to the Northward
on Saturday night.
Ten sail of the line are ordered for immediate
service to form a Squadron of Observation. They

in another column will be found some letters ad_
dressed to Mr. HuruE, on the subject of HUNT'S
. late absurd remarks on Reform. These letter-
prove that he has been in error—we suppose we
must adopt a cautious phrasP, or we could readily
find a more applicable one than this. It is our

stttled conviction that such a desperate blundering
quack will never again be allowed to make his ap-
pearance in the House of Commons.

THE DUKE OF NORTHUMBERLAND

(From the Aretecaltle Chronicle.)
. The announcement in our last week's Paper of his
Grace the Duke of Northumberland using his influence
and authority to procure petitions against the cause of
Ref ,cm, produced, as we expected, a strong feeling of
indignation throughout the county, which was not a little
heightened by the various reports of the solicitation and
intimidation which had been resorted to to procure signa-
tures; and by finding that the prayer of the petition, in-
stead of being, as announced, for a more moderate Re-
form, was, as will be seen from a copy inserted below,
against Reform itself—or, if it could not be avoided, for as
small a degree of it as possible. This feeling was at first
certainly very strong, but has since a good deal abated,
~ from this attempt to avert the current of the public senti-
ment in favour of Reform having proved an titter failure ;
SA a proof of which it can only be necessary to state that
the 'petition lying in this town, in spite of his Grace's
gfeat influence and power, and in spite of the elec-
tioneering interest and assistance of the Tory Member for
the county, has not yet received 100 signatures. A
greater miscalculation of the public feeling was probably
never made. We subjoin a copy of the petition and of the
-circular which accompanied it; they are curious in their
Way, and well. worth perusing as specimens of the feeling
Which prevails amongst the titled enemies of Reform.

TO THE KING'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY.
. We; your Majesty's loyal subjects, the undersigned nobility,
Magistrates, gentry, clergy, and freeholders of the county of
- Northumberland, beg leave most humbly to assure your Majesty
of our unfeigned attachment to your Majesty's Royal person,
and to our free monarchical Government established at the revo-
lution of 1688, and confirmed by the accession of the House
of Brunswick. We deplore, therefore, with proportioned regret,
the possible success of a proposition recently submitted to the
House of Commons, under the avowed sanction of your Ma-
jesty's Ministers, having for its object the entire abolition of the
ancient Constitution and usages of Parliament. We pre-
sume most humbly to suggest to your Majesty, that a mea-
sure so extensive and overwhelming is not warranted by
any practical and proved grievances resulting from the actual
state of the representation of the peoph, and we contemplate
with dismay the sacrifice of chartered, statutable, prescriptive,
personal rights, to a capricious innovation, which, in its imme-
diate or ultimate results, must impair the dignity of the Imperial
Crown, destroy the harmony of our mixed legislation, and
. establish a dangerous precedent for the confiscation of private
property and the subversion of public institutions. We, there-
, fore, most humbly pray. that your Majesty will be pleased at once
to discountenance or .annul this must perilous and oppressive
proceeding, and by adhering with hereditary firmness to the
great principles of the British Monarchy, maintain alike the ex-
isting rights and privileges of all classes of your Majesty's sub-
jects,'and the essential and indispensable prerogatives of the
kingly office.- And your Majesty's petitioners will most humbly
pray, &c.
TO THE HOUSE OF. COMMONS.

The petition of the undersigned nolZity, magistrates, gentry,
clergy, and freeholders, humbly sheweth, that your petitioners
have learned with dismay, that a Bill is now pending in your
Honourable House, having for its object the absolute subversion
of the ancient usages and established constitution of Parliament.
That your petitioners have heard no sufficient reason, founded
upon practical and proved grievances, for this hazardous ex-
periment, whilst in a capricious and summary violation
of the legal rights of large portions of his Majesty's subjects,
they can discover abundant cause for alarm, as to the future
security_ of every private tenure or public institution
—Your petitioners, therefore, pray _that your Honourable House.
will entirely reject, or essentially alter this proposed enactment,
have a due regard to the indispensable prerogatives of the
Crown, to the harmony and co-operation of both Houses of
Parliament, to the varied and complex interest of this great em-
pire, to the sanctity of charted rights, and to the hereditary pri-
vileges of freemen of all classes. And your petitioners, as in
duty bound, will ever pray, &c. ,
•We hare received from various parts of the county ac-
c,unts of the urgent means taken to procure signatures to
these petitions, of which the following extracts will afford
perhaps a sufficient illustration. One correspondent writes
as follows :-
4. His Grace's agents have been canvassing and making every
exertion in the neighbourhood to procure signature, but without
much success. The farmers, on.his Grace's estates, who evinced
any reluctance to comply with their demands, were told that
they were authorized to make a list of those who refused, who
would incur his Grace's displeasure; and the cottagers who re-
fused, were given to understand, that they would be deprived of
their half.acre allotments. Many of the farmers purposely went
from home to avoid seeing the agents, but in several instances
their wives and daughters were prevailed upon to sigh for them."
Another correspondent informs us, that at one of his Grace's
Courts held last week in a village near this town, a number of
poor persons who had been summoned for small debts, were pre-
, vaned upon to sign the petitions, many of them without know-
ing what they were signing for."
Another says, " The messenger who was sent with them to
this place, (a village near Ponteland), was drummed out of the
village.' We hear from another, " every means have been used
here to procure signatures ; threats and intimidations have been
resorted to, and,thotAgh the petitions profess to have come from
" nobility, gentry, and freeholders,' many cottagers and la-
beurers have been compelled to sign them, under a threat of
being tsrried out of their cottages, or discharged."

CITY, TWELVE 0' CL 0 CK.
The following bulletin has been received at Warsaw, from
General Skrzynecki, dated at Diembe.Wielki, April 1:
" General Lubeneki, at the head of the advanced guard, pur-
sued, since this morning, the corps of General Geismar and the
corps of General Rosen; the first Was defeated at Wawer, and
the second at Diembe-Wielki ; the cavalry of Lubenski fell
upon the Russianinfptry, braving the difficulty of the thickness
of the wood on his right and left, and at each charge we dis-
persed whole battalions. It is still difficult to state the loss of
the enemy, already 3,000 men have laid down their arms; we
do not know as yet the number of killed and wounded the
number of prisoners will be more considerable, as the inhabi-
tants of the villages and our soldiers are continually picking them
up. The 4th regiment of Cuirassiers has taken from the enemy
three colours, which I shall send to the National Government,
With some thousands of muskets, 30 caissons and chariots laden
With baggage, and others filled with articles of luxury belonging
to the Russian Generals have ;Wien into'our hands. The attack
Was so impetuous thatthat thepnemy had only time to burn part
of his magazines, and was obliged to abandon the rest. But
the most precious conquest was the hospital of Minsk, where we
found 12u Poles dangerously wounded; they will be sent to
Warsaw.
The express this morning from Paris is of some consequence,
and it confirms what we stated in our city article of last Friday,
_it, a letter from Frankfort, that the Austrian answer had arrived
to the French Government, and that the Austrian troops would
retire from Italy the moment the revolution was over.
The private letters from Paris this morning are of a more
favourable description than we have received for some time past.
They are of a very pacific nature, and assert that no war will
take place on the Continent ; and it is also expected that nego-
tiations are on the tapis to settle the affairs of Poland. But what
Puzzles our speculators the most this morning is five vessels
sailing with sealed orders.
The Dutch mail does not bring any news of consequence.
The Hamburg and Dutch steamers have not yet arrived.

We have letters from Antwerp of the lath April, which state
all was perfectly quiet there ; but the erecting of new batteries,
and the consequent movement of cannon, mortars, and balls,
have rather created some alarm, and several families are leaving
the city.
The Polish Government have stopped the barges on the rivers
laden with wheat, and pay partly in money, and the rest in bonds
for their contents.
We have a report that a body. of Poles were cut off by the
Russians. Some letters have arrived to.day from St. Peters-
bu!.llh, alhough the communication was said to be cut off.
'mile days ago we stated that the French Government had
France an
Inade a proposal to ours to take possession of the Schet, and
and Prussia were to take, the Belgian fortresses uldntil the
affairs of that country were settled.
We are now informed that in a recent Cabinet Council it Was
determined that our Government should not consent to this pro-
Posal, therefore we,do not imagine that the five ships going out
