PROROGATION

PAAILIAMENT.

We understand that Parliament will be pro-
rogued from Tuesday, the 16th day of this
instant October, to Tuesday, the 11th day of
December next.

We learn, from an authentic source, that Lord
r)ullitAm has assured his colleagues, that he
left Berlin with a perfect conviction, from the
declarations of the KING, that, however desirous
the Prussian
f Cabinet may be of seeing the dif-
erences between Holland and Belgium brought
to a conclusion without the adoption of coer-
cive measures against King WILLIAM, it will
not interfere in any way in opposition to the
Qnurse which Great Britain and France may
think necessary. The Emperor of RUSSIA has
also made very pacific assurances, but without
44Y positive pledge as to the course which he
\'''°"l(l adopt in the event of coercive measures
against Holland. Lord DURHAM appears to be
Perfectly satisfied ; but with all our admiration of
the Noble Lord as a Reform Statesman, we
11114 st hear in mind that he is only a young
4
41Plornatist.

h Sir JOHN MILLEY DOYLE left London
;')' the mail last night for Falmouth, on his way
(-I° Oporto, where he expects to arrive on Tues-
Y or Wednesday. Sir JOHN was accompanied
°Ln.IY by his nephew Mr. BENTINCK DOYLE, as
"15 aide.de-de he was preceded by several
°Fficers of experience, and some hundred brave
holchers, and
others. Or, L.
he will be speedily followed by
---.` "18 arrival in Oporto, the contract
flintier which lie has acted will probably h
..,e ex-
ended, and in that case 3,000 men will sail from
tlreland to serve under his command. It is but
st to the character of Sir JOHN IVIILLEY
'2E to state, that he refused to receive a
PYing from any of his officers for their corn-
418sion
4s ; and it is equally proper to state, that
,1.:1 his
Pofficers have gone out entirely at their
iet expense. It is delightful to see such a
11)44'Ianity displayed in the cause of justice and hu-

iltr.
The Cabinet Members met yesterday,
8 and
m, we understand, meet again to-day, on the
th e
bian question ; but the unsettled state of
A
Ministrytq' tnistry in France must prevent their coming
tiny decision.

The last official accounts from Paris, dated
li aloth, in the evening, state that u that
me the Ministerial
arrangements had nup tto been

completed, but it was thought probable that the
negociation which had been resumed with the
Duke of BROGLIE, would end successfully. It
is not stated, however, whether M. GUIZOT
was likely to come into office. Should the
Duke of BROGLIE consent to take office with-
out him, the Ministry would not be very unpo-
pular, as the Duke is decidedly the most liberal
of the doctrinaire party ; but M. GUIZOT is
suspected of a strong leaning to the old BOUR-
BONS.

The French Papers of Wednesday have been
received. They announce the refusal of M.
DUPIN to form part of Marshal SOULT'S Mi-
nistry. The impression in Paris was, that from
the difficulty experienced in getting an accession
of strength in the quarters most desirable, the
Marshal would be under the necessity of
putting up with several of his present colleagues.
A Ministry of discordant, and therefore ineffi-
cient materials, may certainly be formed, but the
KING greatly deceives himself if he expects to
weather the coming storm in the Chamber with-
out having recourse to a much more liberal in-
fusion of men devoted to the principles of the
revolution than he is at present disposed to do.
In the end he must, like other great mo-
narchs, yield to necessity, and we shall
not be surprised to see the Moniteur before
long announce the accession to office of
such men as ODILLON BARROT. The longer
the KING hQld9 out, the greater sacrifice will he
be compelled to make.

The news from -Madrid comes down to the
3d of October, at which period King FERDI-
NAND was rapidly improving in health, and busy in
the organization of his new administration. The
disclosures made to FERDINAND by the QUEEN
on his recovery, are said to have been the cause
of his dismissing the Ministry. M. CALO-
MARDE seems to have reckoned without his host,
for his imprudent haste in paying court to Don
CARLOS before the KING died, was the reason,
and a very good one, for his disgrace. What
line of policy the new Ministry may adopt
cannot yet be inferred ; but one thing is evident,
that matters in the Peninsula are at present in
a very ticklish state. The French are preparing
for whatever events may happen, by collecting
an army on the Pyrenees.

The German Papers give a deplorable account
of the SULTAN'S condition. The Paella of
EGYPT, it seems, is advancing triumphantly in
the direction of Constantinople, but the SULTAN
is resolved to hold out to the last extremity:—

CONSTANTINOPLE, SEPT. B.—The defeat of the Turkish
' army is now at length officially confirmed by the last two
numbers of the Moniker, and though in the report of the
Seraskier all the blame is laid on Hussein Pacha, and hopes
are entertained that the rebels will be chastised by Rauf
Pacha, and afterwards by the Grand Vizier himself, you
may believe that the chief causes of the unsuccessful cam-
paign were the long delays of the Divan, the want of pro-
visions, which were to be sent from Constantinople, and
many other circumstances. We may, therefore, safely
conjecture, that a second army, which can be collected
but with difficulty, and for the most part of irregular troops,
will share the fate of the first, especially as it cannot possibly
be supplied with a sufficiency of provisions,and Mehemet Ali's
army has doubled its numbers by the accession of Turkish
deserters, and of the inhabitants of the countries through
which it has passed triumphantly, and is animated with
new courage by its continued victories. The Grand
Vizier, with troops from Albania and Bosnia, has been ex-
pected for this fortnight past ; but who knows whether
Ibrahim Pacha will not arrive here before him ? And what
will the 30,000 men of the Grand Vizier be able to do
against the superior numbers of the Egyptians ? In the
whole city people talk of the triumphant entry of Mehe-
met Ali into Constantinople. On Friday last, therefore,
a finnan of the Sultan was read in all the mosques,
strictly prohibiting all conversation on the political affairs of
the State. You remember, perhaps, that a similar
prohibition, and with the pain of death at-
tached to the transgession of it, existed while the
Egyptians were before Acre, in vain endeavouring to con-
quer it. Yet Mehemet Ali's situation at that time was
not so desperate as that of the Sultan's is now, who, not be-
loved by his subjects, with an army greatly reduced and in
want of all necessaries, is to oppose the enterprising son of
Mehemet, who, by his hypocrisy, has gained the regard of
the fanatic Mussultnans, and, by his rapacity, the riches of
the Egyptians. The Sultan, however, trusting to God
and his right, seems resolved to let things come to their
last extremity, and to sacrifice his throne, and perhaps his
life, rather than not punish so bated a traitor. Besides,
no peace with Mehemet Ali, however advantageous, could
be depended upon, on account of his notorious perfidy and
insatiable ambition, and it wauld encourage other Pachas
who are secretly in league with Mehemet Ali to imitate
treachery. New disturbances may be expected in
Bosnia as soon as the troops leave it; and in Albania, too,
there is great fermentation, and it is to be feared that an-
other revolution may break out there on the news of the
defeat of the Sultan's army. At Bagdad, the two parties, that
is, the friends of the old system, and the adherents of the
Pacha, with his troops, are in open hostility, and combats
have already taken place between them. If Mehemet Ali
is not speedily and completely put down, which now seems
to be very difficult, the torch of rebellion against the
Saltan and his reforms will break out in every corner of
the empire.

The cholera, which has carried off many persons in
Broussa and other pl Ices in our neighbourhood, is now
here, but not yet to any great extent. The plague, on
the contrary, rages dreadfully. During the last week
above 300 patients have been brought to the Greek
Plague Hospital, and 150 to that of the Franks. But if
we consider that only the poor and helpless leave their
homes, and that the Greeks and Franks constitute only the
sixth part of the population of Constantinople, it may be
assumed that in the whole city the number of deaths from
the plague is 500 daily.
P.S. 10.—The plague has spread so much
within these two days, that the inhabitants are in the
greatest consternation. Yesterday the Greek vill tge of
St. Dimitri, half of the population of which was already
swept away by the plague, was totally burnt to the
ground ; the fire lasted from 2 in the afternoon to sunset,
with a high north wind, and the habitations of above
8,000 persons were a prey to the flames. —44llyemeine
Zeitung, Oct. 6.

NUREMBURO, OCT. 2.—Yesterday evening the Duchess
of Angouleme arrived here with the daughter of the Duke
of Berri, passed the night at the hotel of the Red Horse,
and set out this morning for Ratisbon (where her Royal
Highness passed the night at the hotel of the Golden
Cross.)—Nuremburg Paper.
FRANKFORT, OCT. s.—An official paper of to-day con-
tains the following notice;—

" In sec. 9 of the law on the press, of 20th Septem-
ber, 1819, it is enacted that all publications printed and
published in Germany, whether comprehended in the
enactments of this resolution or not, must have the name
of the publisher ; and if they are of the class of news-
papers or periodical journals, that of the editor also.' Pub-
lications in which this is not done cannot be circulated in
any State of the Confederation ; and if this is done clan-
destinely they are to be seized, and those who distribute
them to be fined and imprisoned according to the circum-
stances. All booksellers, printers, and others are there-
fore reminded, that they are punctually to observe this re-
gulation on pain of incurring the penalty."—Frankfort
Papers, Oct. 6.

The letters received this day by our Go-
vernment from Brussels, although by no
means so unfavourable as the accounts in a
Morning Paper, are far from satisfactory. A
private letter from an authentic source, which we
have seen, states, that the KING, in yielding to
the bad councils of M. de RAIKEM, the Mi-
nister of Justice, as to the new law nominations,
has become unpopular, and that the Orangeists,

taking advantage of the false step, have taken
part with the Liberals, co as to render his situa-
tion one of great difficulty. M. de RAIKEII is
a fanatical bigot, who would have none but
bigots in office, and it is found that unless the
KING should speedily dismiss him, he will
plunge the monarchy and the country into a
danger, from which it would be impossible to
redeem them. LEOPOLD, however, is a reflect-
ing man, and he will probably deprive the
Orangeists of the hopes which they were enter-
taining, through the discontent of the Liberals
towards their Sovereign, of bringing about a re-
storation, by removing the cause of dissatisfaction.

We have given in another column an abridg-
ment of a letter in the Morning Herald from
its Brussels Correspondent. \%7e do so, not that
we consider its reasonings or inferences as worthy
of the least note,—except in so far as they show
us what are the fancies of the vulgar of Brussels,
—but that our readers may judge of the
difficulty of the situation in which LEOPOLD is
placed. The raving of the ignorant writer about
the influence of the Catholics is ridiculous. They
form a vast majority of the population, and it is
right that they should have influence. It is no
matter ofreproach that they have re-opened, since
1830, 1,100 chapels, which were suppressed in
1793, but the contrary. One of WILLIAM'S
great errors was the not giving his Belgic Catho-
lic subjects the influence and weight they were
entitled to ; and he suffered for it, as we should
perhaps have suffered had we not passed the
Catholic Relief Bill, and as we may yet suffer if
we do not speedily come to some arrangement
which shall relieve every class of our fellow sub-
jects from the ❑ecessity of snpporting two reli-
gious establishments,—their own and that of the
State.

Every day's post brings us fresh proof, if it
were wanting, of the manner in which the Tories
are forcing on the adoption of the Ballot. It
appears by the resolutions come to at a meeting
of the Trades of Bristol, given in another
column, that the Tories of that place having
gagged by intimidation, or stopped by corrup-
tion, the mouths of some of the poorer freemen,
took upon themselves, through their organ,
Felix Farley's Journal, to speak not only
for their mercenaries and victims, but for the
whole body of the Trades, declaring that they
were now opposed to Reform. We are glad to
see that the Reformers of Bristol have made a
stand against this Tom-foolery.

We copy from the Kilkenny Journal of
Wednesday some particulars of another bloody
rencontre between the police and the Irish pea-
santry, on the old subject of tithes. As the details
are yet but imperfectly known, we shall forbear
for the present from entering upon comments,
but content ourselves with hoping that Mr•
STANLEY, who has just returned from Ireland,
and must consequently have had ocular de-
monstration of the workings of the tithe system
in that country, will at once put his shoulder to

the wheel, and seriously set about devising some
efficient, decisive remedy. Hitherto nothing
that deserves even the name of a remedy has been
