BIRMINGHAM POLITICAL UNION.

At the late meeting of tbe Birmingham Political Union,
the following letter from the Prince of Moskowa, son of
Marshal Ney, to the chairman, was read :
" SlAt—lt was with feelings of the strongest emotion
that my family read the Solemn Declaration of the Bir-
mingham Political Union. I feel strongly the necessity
which compels me to record my sentiments on the subject.
In holding up to the deepest abhorrence the public conduct
of one who contributed so cruelly to our misfortunes, you,
gentlemen, bind us to the strongest gratitude.
" The man who, to gratify a bloodthirsty vengeance
(against him who always fought according to the noblest
laws of warfare), could refuse to save my father, when it
lay in his power, from his murderers, must be unworthy
of the confidence of every generous people.
" Honour be to the sentiments of the independent men
of Birmingham, who have secured to themselves the
sympathy and admiration of all nations. Their efforts,
crowned with success in this solemn victory of England
over the enemies of her liberties, are a certain gage of
future triumphs. The noblest cause could not perish if
confided to such defenders.

" I request the Hon. Secretary of the Political Union
to record from this the expression of my sincerest senti.
meats of cordiality and regard, to make them known to
the subscribers of the Solemn Declaration of the freemen
of Birmingham.

" Le Prince De La NIOSKOWA.
" Paris, 2d June, 1832."
It was moved that the letter should be entered upon the
records of the Union, and that a silver medal, with the
instription, " Presented by the Birmingham Political
Union to the son of Ney," be presented to the writer;
also that he be elected a member of the Birmingham Poli-
tical Union.

The following document has been issued by the Go-
vernment of Brazil :
(Translation.)
• "Most illustrious and excellent Sir,—The frequent rob.
beries and murders committed by certain foreigners, chiefly
in the cities and towns (seaports), where a great number
of vagabonds, beggars, and drunkards, are found, thereby
greatly inconveniencing and disturbing society, and more-
over burdening the treasury with the necessary expenses,
such as feeding, clothing, and curing them in the prisons
and hospitals, have shown the necessity of putting an end
to those evils, for which reason your Excellency will or-
der our Consuls not to allow persons to come to Brazil
Without trade or occupation, who, by the depravity of
their habits, may augment the already no small number of
those disturbers of our society; and you will inform the
Charges des Affaires of Foreign Courts, that from the Ist
of January, 1833, no foreigners shall disembark in our
ports, unless they present a certificate from our Consuls,
declaring them to be of honest conduct, of what trade or
species of industry, what capacity, and what may be their
intentions respecting their destiny : you will likewise re-
commend to the Consuls the utmost care with respect to
this, under the highest responsibility.
"God preserve your Excellency.

The following declaration, in consequence of
the late atrocious attack on the Duke of WELLINGTON,
has been drawn up, and placed for signature in several
places of most public resort in the city. A great number
of individuals of the highest respectability have attached
their names to it :

" TO Mt: GRACE TUE DUKE OF WELLINGTON.
"We, the undersigned merchants, bankers, trader., and
others, of the city of London, having been informed that
your Grace was grossly insulted by a brutal and misguided
mob, in passing through the city this day, beg leave most
respectfully to lay before your Grace the assurance of our
deep concern, that the metropolis of this kingdom should
have
been di•graced by a Proceeding
of such a character.
selves Whatever mad
to y be our political opinions, we feel our-
mpelle declare our abhorrence of such an
atrocious outrage, disgraceful at any time, or under any
circumstances ; but the more so, because it was perpetrated
on the anniversary of a day, to the recollection of which
all good Englishmen ought to look with mixed feelings of
national pride, and of gratitude to your Grace."
LIVERPOOL, JUNE 19.—At our Corn x..
change this morning there was a very thin
attendance of
the trade. The weather being now most seasonable for
the
and flcoming crops, and the show of samples of wheat, oats,
our, fresh arrived, being very large, caused the trade
to be excessively dull, and the transactions in wheat were
in consequence in the merest retail way to the needy
dealers, at barely last Tuesday's prices for the finest, and
at a reduction of Id. to 2d, on all other descriptions. For
oats the inquiry. was also very languid ; indeed, few sales
occurred, though the finest Irish were offered at 4d. to Id.
decline on the currency of this day week. Barley for
grinding very flat. Malt steady, but little done in it.
Beans, peas, and Indian corn Scarcely asked for. Fine
fresh flour rather heavy sale, and chased cheaper. Meal dull at Sys. might have been pur to 255. 6d. In wheat-
and dour under lock there were no palm

LONDON,
THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 2], 1832.

Both Houses of Parliament came last night
to the resolution of voting addresses of congra-
tulation to his MAJESTY, on his fortunate es-
cape from the late atrocious assault on his sacred
person at Ascot, as also of expressing the deep
concern they felt at there having been found
within his MAJESTY'S dominions, a person ca-
pable of so flagitious an attempt. Lord GREY
moved the Address in the Upper, and Lord
ALTHORP in the Lower, House. In the
latter, the resolution was seconded by Sir R.
PEEL, who, with his usual candour, took the
opportunity of mixing up the maniacal assault
on his MAJESTY with the excitement occasioned
by the Reform Bill, with which it has as close a
connexion as Mr. JOHN WILSON CROKER
with supereminent bashfulness. We wonder a
Statesman, so discreet and proverbially respect-
ful towards all his superiors, as Sir Joseph Sur-
face, could have been guilty of such bad taste
as making his MAJESTY a peg on which to
hang his political antipathies. Surely the solemn
occasion was worthy of a more reverend considera-
tion ! One would have imagined that the joy which
Sir ROBERT, in common with the rest of the
community, must have felt at his MAJESTY'S
escape from the assault of a maniac, would have
banished every other consideration from his
mind; instead of which he disposed of his
felicity in a brief sentence or two, and then
proceeded to string together a variety of
commonplace, hacknied truisms—which, by
the bye, smacked strongly of the conventicle—
on the propriety of men in high stations incul-
cating amongst the people the principle of obedi-
ence to the laws. Now, if ever there was an
occasion which demanded the expression of
reverence and loyalty, and the absence of any
thing like party-feeling, this was that one,
and yet Sir ROBERT PEEL, in concert with
his political jackal!, Mr. JOHN WILSON
CROKER, degraded it to the vulgar level
of a party question, as if abuse of his
MAJESTY'S Ministers, and the Reformers in
general, were the sole ends to be achieved.
Mr. CROKER went, if possible, still further than
Sir ROBERT, for, after a few expressions of
loyalty, he lost sight of his MAJESTY altogether,
and degenerated into topics more congenial to
his taste, such as abuse of the Press--which he,
above all other men, has most contributed to
degrade by his dull, pot-house jokes in the John
Bull—and a vehement denunciation of the
" filthy rabble" who frequent the " filthy
Coburg theatre." The Right Honourable Gen-
tleman, we believe, has never yet turned his
astonishing abilities to the stage, or we might
almost be tempted to imagine that he had
written a melodrame for the Coburg, and been
disappointed in his hopes of seeing it performed.
64 Filthy rabble !" What, in Heaven's name,
does the Right Honourable JOHN WILSON
CROKER mean by this wholesale abuse ? Is he
himself so aristocratical in birth, so exalted in
rank, so transcendent in intellect, so little of a po-
litical adventurer, and so much of a political So-
lomon, that he can afford thus safely to sneer at all
who move in a lower walk of life than himself ?
Filthy rabble, indeed ! Fie, fie, Mr. C ROKER,
do not dishonour a class which has inflicted
so many Right
,Honourables on the country.
Do not fight shy of your own dung-hill.
Remember, Sir, that there are those, who,
gaudy butterflies, were once—and
though now
this not very long ago—mere grubs, and who would
still have continued such, had not luck and
impudence carried the day against merit and
modesty. Who are you, Sir, that you thus
dare to talk of the miscellaneous frequenters
of a theatre, as a " filthy rabble ?" You may
forget the site of Russell-square, and in tones
redolent of Tipperary, denounce the vulgarity of
those who " malt" with their dinner ; but you
must not, and shall not, spit your venom
on a class of Englishmen every way as re-
spectable, and in most instances, far cleverer than
yourself. You may be—as no doubt you think
yourself—an aristocrat, but it is only by suffe-
rance ; you may also be a prodigious politician,

but it is only by the prejudice of party. In a
reformed Parliament, where merit will find its
level, you will be nothing, or worse than no-
thing. As a scholar, your claims are already
given up at the bar of public opinion ; as an
arithmetician you are universally laughed at, even
though you may be able to calculate the exact
sum-total of your unreasonable salary ; as an
historian you have committed blunders of which
a fourth form-boy at Eton would be ashamed ;
and as a critic on the Greek tongue, you have
proved by your late edition of Boswell, that you
actually do not know the difference between a
verb and a substantive in the original language.
And yet this is the man who has the assurance
to come publicly forward and denounce the re-
spectable middle classes of society as a " filthy
rabble!" Talk of the pride of an Aristocrat after
such an ebullition of upstart effrontery as this ?
There is no pride equal to that which a man of
narrow mind and plebeian birth exhibits, when
once, to the astonishment of himselfand the world,
he is raised above his level. He struts a pigmy,
and deems himself a giant. He assumes the
swaggerer, and imagines he is a model of genti-
lity. He forgets the past, and takes for granted
others will forget it too. But, thanks to a Reform-
ing Ministry, this race of mushroom humbugs is
now at an end. Schedule A has trod the vermin
in the dust.

The statement made by Lord ALTHORP last
night, that " it was desirable that all Courts by
which the subjects of the realm might lose their
liberty should be open to the public," will be
gladly hailed by every friend of justice and
freedom. We begin to see now a glimmering
of light spreading over many of those an-
cient institutions of the country which
were originally good, but which had become
debased, or rendered actually injurious by the
ravages of time, or the inroads of arbitrary Go-
vernment. It is by light alone that their
defects can be seen, and there need therefore be
little surprise that those men who so loudly call
out for the existing order of things, and who
have so long profited by that system, should be
so apprehensive of its renovating rays. In their
eyes nothing is good that is new. " Our an-
cient institutions,"—" the established prac-
tice of the country,"--" the wisdom of
our ancestors," are words constantly brought
forward as arguments against all change.
The same arguments were brought forward
against the abolition of the Star Cham-
ber, and the Inquisition, and might in
fact be advanced in favour of the grossest
abuses of power ; yet in these Reforming days,
men of sense like Mr. F. LEWIS, Mr. GouL-
BURN, and Mr. BARING, seem to stick to
them with as much pertinacity as they possibly
could have done at the period when all but a
few admitted that Kings reigned by divine right.
There are some men that hate justice from
purely selfish motives—from a dread that
if a change takes place they will lose
their monopoly, and that feeling more
than reason or common sense raises the
outcry for the ancient—the venerable institutions
of the country. It is curious enough, however,•
that the parts of those institutions, most vene-
rable in the eyes of the existing order-of-things
men, are those very parts which were not known
in the original state of the Constitution. Rotten
boroughs have grown out of abuse, and so has
secrecy at Coroners' Inquests, yet these are
clung to as if they formed the very soul
and essence of the original institutions ;
the very object of a Coroner's inquest is utterly
opposed to even the semblance of secrecy. It
was instituted to prevent the concealment of
murder committed by one member of a family
against another, and any one may see how the
end may be defeated, when he reflects how easy
it is for a coroner to keep back evidence if he is
inclined, and how negligent a Jury may be,
when they know that the eyes of the public
are not upon them. There is no real se-
curity for justice but in publicity, and as the
Jury have the power not only of defeating
justice, but of depriving a man of his liberty and
fixing a stigma on him for life, it ought to be
the desire of every man of independent mind
that such a power should not be exercised but in
broad day and before the eyes of all. It has
been urged that respect for wounded feelings
necessarily forbids the entrance of the public
into private houses, and that the Coroner ought
to have the power of making exceptions in par-
ticular cases ; but what security is there that these
exceptions may not defeat the ends of justice ?
The power invested by law, in parish authorities,
to visit within a certain period every house where
a death has taken place, is often harassing to
private feelings ; yet these are comparatively dis-
regarded when they stand in the way of justice
and mercy, and still more ought they to be dis-
regarded when there is a case of strong
suspicion. There is hardly an instance on
record, however, where the public have been
kept out to spare the feelings of the
relations of the deceased—the cases of
exclusion have been generally of a political
nature—like the Manchester business—when a
Coroner of strong party-feelings puts his autho-
rity into force for the purpose of screening the
misrule of the Government. Such abuses ate
now drawing to a close—a liberal and enligh-
tened House of Commons see the impropriety
of leaving a question of such importance to the
decision of 12 or 15 men, who often with the
best feelings, and the most upright intentions,
are too wedded to legal technicalities, and too
little acquainted with the public feeling to come
to a proper conclusion. The Legislature ought
to leave as little as possible to the discretion of
Judges or any class of Magistrates. They are
like all other mortals, subject to party zeal, and
as they are chiefly chosen from the party in
power, whether Whig or Tory, the liberty of
men opposed to them in politics ought never to
be left at their mercy.

The French Government has at length or-
dered the reduction of the tonnage duty on Bri-
tish shipping entering their ports to 1 franc, 50
cents per ton. This tardy act of justice Will
afford much relief to the private steam-boats)

and will be the means of establishing a regular
communication between Dover and Boulogne,
as well as other ports. The ordinance is to take
effect from Saturday last, the 16th inst. We
refer to the French Papers, and private corre-
spondence, for other news. It will be seen that
one of the prisoners has been convicted, but
this is a triumph that will neither add to the
safety nor honour of the Government. It would
appear that the Holy Alliance are not only bent
on suppressing liberal opinions in their own do-
minions, but determined to look to France. The
following article from the Courrier Beige is
important :
,We call the attention of the French and Belgian
nations to the following intelligence, to which we have the
most satisfactory reasons for giving credit. A treaty of al-
liance was on the 4th of June concluded between Prussia,
Russia, Austria, and Holland. The diplomatic agents of
the four Powers are now exerting all their efforts to pro-
cure the accession of the whole German Confederation,
which, as is well known, includes the small States on the
banks of the Rhine, as also the several Hans Towns, and
Denmark for the Duchy of Holstein. The assembling of
Russian Statesmen and Generals at Berlin, the long visit
made to that capital by Prince Wrede on a mission from
Bavaria, and the great activity which for some weeks dis-
tinguished the German diplomacy, are circumstances which
had a connexion with the conclusion of this treaty. The date
of the signature, the 4th of June, does not permit us to be-
rieve that the conclusion was hastened by the late events
at Paris, which broke out on the sth. It is, indeed, very
improbable that the results of those events should, in any
respect, alter the views of the northern Powers with
respect to France and the revolution, as these views ex-
isted before the combats of the sth and 6th of June. It
is a new coalitition against principles which is now at
last disclosed, becaucse the preparations for it are complete.
If France be wise, she will not now wait to be attacked.
The more points upon which she may merely make a be-
ginning the better, in order to avail herself of the good
spirit which yet remains in Italy, before Anstria com-
pletely overruns the sentry with her troops, also to take
advantage of the good disposition of the inhabitants of the
Baden and Bavarian territories along the Rhine, before
the agitation be suppressed by the presence of Prussian
corps."

The cholera seems at length determined to
overrun Belgium,—it has reached Brussels, and
will no doubt pay a visit to the Dutch, who
have hitherto very singularly escaped its visita-
tion. Perhaps its near approach may mollify
the stubborn character of his Dutch MAJESTY
whose warlike propensities bode as little good
to the Belgians as his auxiliary the cholera.
Several French messengers have recently pro-
ceeded in great haste through Brussels to St.
Petersburgh.
The following are extracts :

BRUSSELS, JUNE 19.—The Moniteur extracts from the
Memorial Beige, without adding any reflection, an article,
which states that there is a 64th Protocol, and even some
others that try to give a favourable prospect of the termi-
nation of our affairs, and the Conference having summoned
the King of Holland to declare himself before the 30th of
June, or the entire evacuation of the Belgian territory by
his troops by July 15, his silence to be considered as a
refusal ; in this case there would be deducted from the por-
tion of the debt asssgned to Belgium, the arrears from
Jan. 1, 1832, and the Powers would have recourse to
force. It is said that France and England take upon them-
selves the execution, the one by sea, the other by land.
There is no longer any possibility of doubting of the
existence of the Asiatic cholera at Brussels. There were
three cases yesterday in the rue aux Choux, near the place
des Alartyres.—Moniteur Beige.

CHAMBER OF REPRESENTATIVES,

JUNE 19.

The Chamber heard to-day the report on the project of
law for a levy of 50,000 men. The central section re-
duces the reserve to 30,000 men ; it will be composed of
the militia of the classes of 1826 to IS3I ; the number of
men will be proportioned to the population of each pro-
vince, deducting those places the civic guards of the first
van of which are with the army.
GrrErrr.—Triz CHOLERA.—The cholera appears to be-
come rather less malignant here, or, perhaps, the persons
attacked are mere prompt in seeking medical advice, and
the physicians better acquainted with the disorder and the
mode of treating it. Up to the 15th there had been 222

—Brussels Papers, June 20.

German Papers of the 14th instant mention
the death of the celebrated writer F.VoN GENTS,
in the 68th year of his age. It is insinuated in
these papers, that a secret understanding subsists
between France and the Pacha of EGYPT (a
very reasonable supposition), and that France
carries the matter so far as to delay accrediting
an Ambassador to the Porte till the result of the
present war determines the victor. Should the
PACHA succeed, it is said France will recognize
him, in which case the affairs of the East will
assume a new and more important character than
ever.

The London Quarterly Review, in its notice
of Mrs. Taom.orE's book, laments the woful condition
of a country that has neither a national debt, an esta-
blished church, nor laws of primogeniture ; and as an
evidence of the effects of the latter deficiency, the writer
says of the United States—" The money which may
generous
happen to be amassed in the hands of industry, thrift, and
bargain-driving, imparts to its possessors none of the gene-
rous character of an aristocracy." We can understand
thatut whataqu doesarter tlyill,e Reviewer should
mean
nby the ,4 character
thus disparage industry;
b
of an aristocracy ?" Perhaps he has allusion to the fact
that the Dukes of WELLINGTON and NEWCASTLE allowed
their parents to be supported from the poor-rates--or

COMMON COUNCIL.-(THIS DAY.)

ADDRESS TQ THE KING.

A Court of Common Council was convened this day.
for the purpose of considering the propriety of addressing
his Majesty on his escape from the murderous attack made
upon his life at the present Ascot races. Several
resolutions were read by Mr. Taylor, declaratory of the
indignation of the citiwns of London at the gross attempt
that had been made upon the life of his Majesty, and of
their gratification of his providential escape from the at-
tack, and that an address to that effect he presented to the
King, and that a committee be appointed to prepare the
same. After a few words from Alderman FAREIIROTHER,
who seconded the resolutions, Sir P. Lauata, and Mr.
Alderman WINCTIE9TER, the resolutions were carried
unanimously, and the address agreed to.

VICE•CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

SIIEAN V. BEVAN, VANHOLISE, AND OTHERS.

This was a motion for a reference to the Master, for the
appointment of a manager and consignee of an estate in
the West Indies, called the Unity Valley Estate. The
plaintiff, who was the widow of a Mr. Sheen, was en.
titled to one moiety of the estate, and Messrs. Van-
house and Co. were trustees of the other moiety,
and also consignee. The plaintiff by her bill stated se-
veral acts of mismanagersent on the part of the ma-
nlger in the West Indies and the consignee, among
which was the non-sending of ferrets and rat-traps,—
(Great laughter,)—for the purpose of destroying the
rats which infested the estate, and which had
increased to such a degree that upwards of one-third of
its produce had been destroyed, although between the
month of August 1831, and April 1832, no less than
8,000 had been exterminated. In consequence of such
mismanagement, Mrs. Shean, who became entitled to
her moiety in 1828, bad not received the least
benefit from it, Mrs. Shean, in consequence of receiving no
produce from the estate, becoming much in want of
money, applied to Messrs. Vanhouse for small sums of
money, which they did not advance, alleging that they
were large creditors of the estate. Mrs. Shean consider-
ing that the estate proving unproductive, was the result of
mismanagement, filed the present bill for the purposes we
have already stated.
Mr. ANDXRSON appeared for the plaintiff.
Mr. Peeve, for Messrs. Vanhouse, stated that they
were extremely anxious that their accounts should be in
vestigated. As was notorious, West India property had
of late became a dead letter. They were very large
creditors of the property, and it was only in consequence
of not being able to obtain these items which the plain-
tiff wanted, that the present proceedings were instituted
by her. As to the charge of mismanagement,
in not sending out ferrets, and rat traps for
the purpose of destroying the vervain on the estate,
all that he could say was, that rat-traps were sent by
the consignees from this country, and his clients were not
to be blamed, because the managers in the West Indies
could not get the rats to go into them.—(Loud laughter.)
The ferrets also had been sent; but the Learned Counsel
supposed, as it did not appear they had ever reached the
West Indies, they were taken seasick on the voyage, and
had given up the ghost.—(Great laughter.)

The case had not concluded when our reporter left.

KING'S BENCII.-(TIIIS DAY,)

ROBSON V. BELL.

This was an action to recover 325/. upon two promis-
sory notes accepted by the defendant and indorsed to the
plaintiff.
The case occupied the Court all the morning, and was
not concluded when our reporter left.

EXCHEQUER COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

WORTHINGTON V. SCOTT.

This was an action brought to recover the cum of 1501.,
due to the plaintiff for the carriage of goods.—After
hearing evidence, the Jury returned a verdict for the
plaintiff. Damages--150/.

BANKRUPTCY CO►JRT.-(THIS DAY.)

EXPARTE MARKS ♦ND OTHERS, IN RE MARKS.

The petitioners in this case were the widow and son of
the late Mr. John Mark., coach-maker, of Great Portland•
street. James Marks, a son of the deceased, having be-
come a bankrupt, his assignees procured a summons from
the Commissioners, calling upon the petitioners, who car-
ried on business as coach-makers, in Langham-place, to
produce their accounts, on the ground that the bankrupt
had an interest in the partnership under his father's will.
The petitioners now prayed the Court to restrain the com-
mission from examining them upon matters relating to the
business since the death of John Marks ; but it appearing
that the bankrupt had an interest in his father's residuary
property, and that it in part consisted of a share in the
business, dismissed the petition with costs.
The Court rose at half-past one o'elock.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE 0' CLOCK.

A Jamaica mail has arrived, brought by the Pigeon,
sailed on the 15th of May, and from Carthagena on the 3d
of May.
Jamaica papers have been received at the North and
South American Coffee-house. The Jamaica Courant of
the 11th of May says We have continued our extracts
from the Windward Islands papers, in order to show
the sad condition to which the imbecile Grey Ad-
ministration has reduced the once valuable appen-
dages of the British Crown as a sure proof of the
mal-administration of the Whigs. We lay the following
statement before our readers, which clearly points out the
gradual diminution of the revenue, from the hour this
cursed Administration was formed to the present.—
The deficiency of the revenue, under the Wellington Ad-
ministration, for the year 1830, was 3,142,000/. ; under
that of Earl Grey, for the year 1831, 9,846,000/.
Owing to the Reform agitation, and the Reform agitation
alone, ought such an Administration to be for one hour
longer entitled to the coofidence of the nation ? Cer-
tainly not.
By the packet ship we have received regular files of
Windward Islands papers, and regret to find that from
Demerara to Tortola nothing but distress prevails ; they
are all groaning under the oppression of an imbecile and
tyrannical Government.

FROM ST. CHRISTONIER.-We are sorry to observe
from a message from the Governor of St. Kitts to the Le-
gislature, that the cholera has appeared among the crew of
his 'Majesty's ship Racehorse.
We are happy to state that every thing was quiet at
Carthagena when the Pigeon packet sailed from that port.
Consols opened this morning at the same price they left
off at yesterday-84i for the account, with little doing,
owing to the various accounts received this morning by
the estafet from France, and from Brussels, and Holland,
all of them tending to a warlike description aimed against
France.

In the Foreign Market nothing doing as yet.
