PORTSMOUTH-JAN. 6.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
Our first day's polling is over, and notwithstanding every exer-
tion that has been made by the Government people here, we mean
the underlings, for to the great credit of tic heads of departments,
Admiral Sir Thomas Williams, Frederick Maitland, and Ge-
neral Sir T. M‘Mahon, b‘: said, that they have in nowise inter-
fered ; we say, that *notwithstanding the intimidation of these sy-
cophants of moment, their idol Sir Charles Rowley is only third
on +.l:le-poll, and we believe he has by the exertion of his committee
polled every vote promised him to four o'clock this afternoon : still
400 voters are unpolled, and the exertions making to influence these
are unparalleled. Committees and candidates are flying about in
every direction, threats are held out in every shape, and much we
suspect, from the infleence we have seen, that at any future elec-
tion, unless we have vote by ballot, that Portsmouth, with its 1,300
voters, will dwindle into a Government borough.
The dock-yard workmen had a holyday to-day, that those among
them that had votes may tender them,—here, therefore Rowley's
strength is exhausted, and to-morrow, we doubt not, he will get
far a-stern. To show to what extent the new Government lends
itself to electioneering matters, we can only record, that a man of
the name of Moorman, who was confined in Winchester Gaol on a
charge of smuggling, and who had in vain repeatedly applied to our
late Members to get released through their influence, and had been
denied, was released on Thursday last by a Treasury order, at the
application of the Tory Mr. 'leming who offers himself for the
county, under the hope, or promise, or expectation, that out of
gratitude for his release, or probably in the spirit of revenge against
Carter and Baring for their refusal to him, that he would vote for
Rowley. However, we rejoice to say, in this instance the biters
were bit, for he was early at the poll, and voted for CARTER and
BA RING, saying, that if he had been an offender against the laws,
and had been punished therefore, he had no idea that the justice of
the country was to be sold, as a Bribe for a Government Admiralty
Lord.

Our numbers at the close of the poll to-day were :
John Bonham Carter
Francis Thornhill Baring 449
Don Napier 278
Sir Charles Rowley ... 448

GERMAN PAPERS.

BRUSSELS, JAN. 3.—The Gendschen Mercurius contains the
following paragraph :
" Immediately on .the meeting of the Chamber of Representa-
tives after the holidays the Duputies of Flanders will bring forward
a proposal, with a view to obtain an alteration in the Tariff of Cus-
toms concerning the import duties on fine cotton manufactures
coming fr:im foreign countries. The terms in which the proposal
is zirawn up are not yet known, but we understand that it is such
that, if adopted, it will almost wholly satisfy the desires of the ma-
nufacturers."

The Courrier de la Meuse says it is completely false that Gen.
Debbits refuses young men of Macstricht permission to go and study
in Belgium, and that it could produce a multitude of examples
which prove the contrary.
ANTWERP.—During the year 1834, 1054 ships entered this
port, of the burden altogether of 141,465 tons. The number of
ships that cleared out was 1060, of which 817 were foreign and
246 Belgian ; 201 Belgian and 464 foreign ships sailed with car-
goes ; 46 Belgian and 353 foreign in ballast. A larger amount of
coffee, cotton, hides, rice, sugar, and tea, was imported in 1834
than in any of the five years preceding.

NAPOLI, Nov. 30.—Two Members of the Regency,, Count
Armansperg and M. Von Kobell, set out for Athens on Sunday
evening. M. Ilerdeck, the third Member, remains here it is said
to accompany the King, who will set out on the 10th of December.
The Ministers of Justice, of War, and the Marine, with all the
persons belonging to their offices, left us on the same:day. All the
others are preparing to follow, and nothing is now doing in any
of the public offices at Napoli. Letters received from Albania
announce the breaking out of a general insurrection there ;
the warlike inhabitants have declared themselves independent of
the Porte. Taphil Muzis with 6,000 men occupied Perali, and the
Zsokides, Tepelens and Argprokastron. The insurgents have every
where expelled the local authorities. Two leaders are at the head
of the foremost divisions, one of which advances against Janina,
the other towards Pitolia. Wherever they come they burn and
plunder. The Albanians have bound themselves by an oath to lay
down their arms till their independence is acknowledged. They
have appointed a council, and we are assured that this insurrection
is of a very serious nature.

LONDON,
WEDNESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 7, 1835.

FOUR MORE
REFORMERS
RETURNED FOR
THE METROPOLIS ! .

LONDON
HAS DONE ITS DUTY !
COUNTRYMEN!
FOLLOW ITS EXAMPLE !

Many a proud day has the City of London seen ;
many a splendid victory have the citizens of London
won ; but never did she see so proud a day as this,
never did her citizens win so splendid a victory as that
which we have now the heartfelt satisfaction to

announce.

The cause of Constitutional Reform has triumphed
in the capital of the British Empire, as such a cause
ought to triumph in such a place, honourably, nobly,
gloriously. On this ever memorable occasion, the Re-
formers of London count not their majority by units,
nor even by hundreds, but by thousands. And when it
is considered that this majority has not been swelled to
its vast extent by the purchased votes of those unprin-
cipled wretches, who barter the rights of their
fellow-citizens for gold, nor by the involuntary
instrumentality of those unfortunate men, who are
driven by the cart-whip of the oppressor to
violate the sacred dictates of conscience ; but that the
homage thus paid to Reform:is an unbought and spon-
taneous tribute to a great principle ; what a spectacle
of moral grandeur is exhibited by the inhabitants of
the Metropolis I What a crowd of reflections does this
spectacle force upon the mind ! How throbs the pulse
of the patriot, as he contemplates the long vista of
improvement now opening on his country I How
does the heart of the philanthropist grow warm, as
his delighted fancy pourtrays the happier destinies that
await mankind

At the Liverpool nomination, which took place on
Monday last, Lord SANDON made one of those des-
perate, headlong plunges int? red-hot Conservatism,
which men are apt to make, when they have once re-
solved to turn their backs on the people. After .a

world of rabid twaddle, his Lordship observed fliat.
44 the destiny and the dearest interests of the country
were involved in the existence. of the present Admini-
stration.''; If r this be the edte, it it clear that. the
country `Must'be in a most woeful condition of igno-
rance as =regards its own, ftarits, for it is just now, from
one end to the other, stirring heaven and earth to
got rid pf. that very Administration with whom, on
Lord SANDON's showing, its " dearest interests" are
involved I But can.such an infatuation on the part of
three, kingdoms be considered possible ? Can any man
with two ideas in his 'head imagine for an instant that
—combined Scotland—combined Irelandcombined
Eniland—are in such a state of deplorable imbecility,
that they are not fit to be trusted with the choice of
their own rulers ? If his ultra-Conservative Lord-
ship's hypothesis be correct, it follows as a necessary
consequence, that the people of these realms are all
frantic Bedlamites. But his remark is scarce, worthy
of refutation. It is one of those 'shallow, impertinent
sneers, which are the blended results of fear, hardi-
hood, and desperation. His Lordship went on to say,
" He would intreat them to take care that they did not,
by reforming too much, return to the state of savages."
It would seem from this, that savages are all Re-
formers ; and that, if we persevere in our efforts to
reform the abuses in Church and State, we shall
infallibly become cannibals, like the New , Zea-
landers, and eat each other up I It is not
thus that Sir JOHN CAMPBELL arguis. He seems
to think that Reform, so far from reducing us to
a condition of primitive barbarism, will have all
the beneficial effects that a temperate but.. stirring pi*
cess of enlightenment can have on man. The speech of
Sir JOHN CAMPBELL, which will be found in another
column, is one of the most able we have read for some
time. He shows lyirnself in every sentence, the firm,
steady, uncompromising Advocate of Reform. He is
no craven. He is not afraid of the present gallant
show of the people. No, lie feels that they are
battling in an honest cause, and fights side by
side with them. Of course he will be returned
for Edinburgh. We would not insult the citi-
zens of the Scottish metiopolis, by supposing
for a moment that it could be otherwise. 'Meantime,—
countrymen,
.though your friends in all quarters are
daily—hourly—gaining strength, do not—for God's
salle, do not T.—relax in your exertions. Be firm to
the last. Be unanimous to the last. Be
at your 'posts, each and all of you, till you
hear the last gun fired, of the flying enemy. Imitate
the Duke of WELLINGTON at Waterloo I He had
his watch in his hand, and all his faculties on the alert,
`till he had seen the last retreating Frenchman dwindled
to a speck in the distance, on the battle-field

We regret that, from want of space, we are com=
polled to abridge the Report of Sir J. CAMPBELL'S
speech at Edinburgh, but a full report of it will be
published,by Ridgway in the course of the afternoon.

Great as the. events of the last few hours have Made
the triumph of the Reformers, the electors must not
be too much elated. A glorious victory is in prospect ;
but to secure it past all peril, and to signalize it with
yet greater brilliancy, not one effort must be relaxed.
The Reformers must proceed as they have begun,
earnestly and resolutely to the end. Just to win the
battle is almost as bad as just to lose it ; the enemy
may be under our heel, but unless he be crushed, now
that we have the strength and the opportunity to
crush, he may rise again to renew the conflict. The
vigour of the electors must continue unabated, their
zeal unslackened, their strife as fierce at the laSt as it
was at the first hour of the contest. They must not
be too much flushed with partial conquest : let the
conquest be perfect, with not one honour lost that
might have been attained, and then will be the time
for shouting.

With such destructive leaders as Mr. PATTISON
and Mr. GROTE, Mr. LEWIS LOYD and Mr. GUR-
NEY, what may not be hoped of the issue ; but
unless, the Reformers are true to their cause, and to
their leaders, much may be lost, or rather misgained.
The bravest and most skilful General in the world,
not even the GREAT DUKE himself, could pursue a
victory to the last point of success, unless supported
by the unrelaxed fidelity of his troops. We would
not that one glory were left ungathered ; we would not
that triumph, simply, be achieved, but triumph to the
uttermost extremity of victory.
Although the Tories have, by one of their organs,
declared, that if the people fail to return a Conserva-
tive majority, they will be again and again appealed to
for another and another House of Commons, they
should be comforted by the assurance that other eyes
than those of the Duke and his party are watching
the issue of the present struggle. That Tory daring
would, if permitted, proceed to such a revolutionary
measure, we cannot doubt ; but we have greater con-
fidence in the Throne., Let the people do their best,
and fear not for the result : they can afford to despise
the Tories as a faction, and spurn the hollow threats
of Tory leaders. Without offending tender ears by
any mention of CHARLES of England, or CHARLES
of France, we may perhaps be permitted to whisper
the names of POLIGNAC and his colleagues, who are
now refreshing themselves in the solitude of a certain
Tower, as, a reward for offering loyal, instead of pa-
triotic advice. Let the people save these .rash men,
themselves, and the country, from ruin and blood-
shedding : they know how to do it, if they will.
Union, order, peace—but determination.

There is a point of much importance to which we
earnestly desire to direct the attention of the electors.
In the approaching contest it is not improbable that
the eagerness of zeal for men may obscure the crying
necessity of certain measures. TRIENNIAL PAR-
LIAMENTS. and Vote by Ballot must not be forgotten,
and every Reform Candidate should be urged to speak
out honestly and unequiVocally upon this subject. It
is possible that no caprice, miscounsel, or cogency of
reason may render necessary the exercise of the Royal
Prerogative for seven years to come—too long a time
by a great• deal for the people to remain unappealed
to. Now, in the present altered state of society, and
the changed condition of the spirit of the times, Sep-
tennial Parliaments are far and away too extensive a
cycle of time to be permitted for Legislative gambols ;
seven years, it must be borne in mind, constitute the
tenth part of a whole generation, and in the mighty
advances which all the Sciences are now snaking, it is
not at all improbable that certain discoveries in the
science of Political Economy may render necessary a
more frequent reference to the sentiments of the people,
to enable Representatives to understand with clearness
and precision the tendency of their wants under new or
altered conditions of moral being. It by no means
follows that if a change comes over the spirit
of a Constituency, a corresponding change shall take

I place in that of the Representative whom they' chose
some years :!°,o. Man as he individually grows inage becomes prOne to a rather obstinate adherence to
the doctrines he espoused in his earlier days : a people
do not make these hasty strides towards senescence,
Three score years and ten are the allotted period of the
life of man ; the age of the world .is supposed to be
now approaching to three score centuries and a 'half;
yet only at this day begins the light of reason to glim-
mer forth on the correct government of civilization.
Hitherto men seem to have been governed chiefly et
regarded their physical being ; the epOch has at length
arrived when legislation must be directed to the govern-
ment of MIND. For this great reason the Law-givers
of our present choice must be prepared to move with
the same celerity of progress as marks the advances of
moral society ; and that they may not lie too long un-
wisely fallow, their periodical endurance must be
abridged.
There can be no harm in this, as we showed in a
recent number. A good steward becomes rarely $
cast-away ; his providence and honesty are qualities
too valuable to be scurvily entreated by his
,employer•
His constant preparation, moreover,:to expose his ac-
counts, as it is one of the surest tests of his probity, $0
does it conciliate the confidence and subdue the sus-
picions of his Lord.
It will be a wise precaution, therefore, in the elec-
tors to makle known their wishes upon the subject we
have suggested. Triennial Parliaments, and Vote by
Ballot (which mode' of voting, perhaps, may pot be
required when the people shall have been a little better
accustomed to the ex6rfise of their independence than
they have heretofore been,) are measures of instant
portance to be secured to them : the, one ensures the
caution of the Elected, the other the safety of the
Electdrs

The Paris Papers of Saturday, Sunday, and Mon'
day, have all been received. The debate in the
Chamber of Deputies on the grant for the erection of
the new Court adjo,ining the Chamber of Peers was
resumed in the. early part of the sitting of Friday, and
after an animated discussion, in which several DePu.
ties who had not before spoken took a part, the debate
on the motion was again adjourned till Saturday. It
might surprise an English reader to conceive :how
legislative assembly could consume the greater part of
a week on a motion of so little moment, apparently as
that of granting 360,000 francs for the construction of
a public edifice for the administration of justice. 13°
it must not be supposed that the question is regarded
by the French Chamber in a pecuniary point of vier*
The principle only is looked to ; and it is quite 04'
dent that as the avowed use of the new Court is for
the trial of the prisoners of April, a vote for its erec'
tion is equivalent to admitting the right of the Govern"
ment to punish the offenders, which was the question
which led to the retirement of Marshal GERARD, and
the late squabbles in the Cabinet. The most remark'
able matter about this long debate is, that neither the
opposition in the Chamber of Deputies, nor the public
press, as far as we have observed, has discovered the
real motives of the Ministry in pressing this motion
with such earnestness on the Chamber. From nei"
ther of them have we learned that the Ministrl
were given to understand that this question is regarded
in the same light, by the Court, as if the prisoners
themselves were under trial before and by the Chamber
of Deputies ; and that the moment this vote is granted,
that moment have the Deputies recorded their apprn"
bation of the forthcoming trials. They seem to Per'
suade themselves that M. THlErts made out a gond
case for them, when he attempted to gaiti over the
waverers by assuring them that voting for the erection
of a judicial edifice for a certain purpose, and voting
for the rectitude of the use to which it was proposed
to be applied, were very different things. It does not
speak well for the logical acuteness of the Chamber, if
this reasoning be thought conclusive.
The debate was resumed on Saturday, but again
adjourned without a division.

The Paris Journals contain copies of the addresses
presented by deputations of both Chambers, and the
members of various national institutions and public
bodies, to the KING, on New•-Years' Day, with his
MAJESTY'S answers. The sentiments of the KING'
as far as they are made known in his answers,, are
strictly in conformity with those of the Cabinet, if, as
M. THEIRS declared, it be a cabinet of resistance'
As to the question of amnesty, he appears more than
ever resolved to oppose it, and even complimented the
Peers on the firmness displayed by them in resisting
popular clamour.

The letters received from Bayonne do not conta
any important intelligence with respect to the teritninv
tion of the civil war. The Carlists are still in the
field, but the engagements are mere skirmishes, in
which neither party sustains material injury.

Aclvices from the East state that the inhabitalits
of Albania have broken out into open and avowed re'
hellion against the Sultan, and have published a many
festo, proclaiming their independence. They hi
formed a Council, appointed military commanders, an
expelled 'the Turkish authorities in all the towns and
villages. Will Russia interfere in this quarrel ? V.l3'
doubtedly. The rebels are merely the tools of the spies
employed by the CZA R ; and of course Russia, having first
encouraged the Albanians to rebel against the audicY
rity of the Sublime PORTE, will turn round, and, in $
spirit of fraternal affection, assist the Sultan to crush
his rebellious subjects ; and concldde the farce 11
claiming them, and their country, as a reward for pre'
serving the peace of Turkey.
