Total to the atoning of 9th, 4741 1079 1188
j indents left 173, of which 81 give hopes of recovery.
In Mitten, from the 30th of May to the 14th of
July, 929 persons were attacked by cholera, of
whom 303 had recovered, and 435 died.

Seven cases of cholera are represented to have
occurred among the Prussian troops employed in
forming the cordon round Dantsic : of these cuss,
three proved fatal.
In Dantsic, on the 26th, 27th, and 28th ult. 83
persons were taken ill, 15 recovered, and 69 died.
In Petersburgh, on the 20th ult. 196 persons
were taken ill, 137 recovered, and 117 died; on
the 21st, 190 were taken ill, 215 recovered, and
119 died. Since the first appearance of the sick-
ness, 3,584 individuals had died.

In Jassy the mortality, according to the latest
accounts, had fallen to from four to six daily.
The malady appears, however, to have made its
way into Wallachia, where it is raging with great
violence, particularly in Braila.
In Odessa and the neighbouring country the
malady continues to rage. The mortality, towards
the beginning of last month, averaged upwards of
20 a day.
fil am EL, JOLT 23.—Until to-day no decided
cases of cholera were admitted by the faculty;
however, at last, there is no longer any doubt, and,
six individuals have been attacked, and four dead.
In Tilsit there have been some suspicious cases,
and we have no doubt there will soon be a decisive
cholera there also. There can be little doubt the
Polish corps driven over our frontier have been the
origin of this calamity, although, strange to say,
l General Chlapowsky has declared, again and again,
there are none sick of cholera among his troops;
and certainly, since their arrival on Prussian ground
(although we have had very changeable weather,
and for the first week they had not a single straw
hut to protect themselves from a raging sun by day,
and heavy rains and dews by night), this corps has
had very few dead. What will be the fate of these
troops no one knows. In a few days we must hear
of either the Polish or Russian armies near Warsaw,
which must decide the cause.

ST. PSTERSBURG, JULY 16.—Notice has been
given that by the Emperor's order the quarantines
and sanitary cordons in several places are going to
be suppressed. In the communication by water
the barks will be stopped only a short time for the
inspection of their crews. The cholera patients
whom they may have on board shall be sent to the
hospitals, and the barite shall proceed on their
voyage after the clothes and the rest of the crew
have been fumigated.
In the assembly of the merchants, held on the
Bth July, the Mayor of St. Petersburg stated that
the Emperor had been pleased to send for him, and
to order him to have an hospital with one hun-
dred beds fitted up in every quarter of the
capital for the reception of persons attacked
with the cholera, and that his Majesty had
placed at his disposal for this purpose a sum of
130,000 rubles from the imperial treasury. The
merchants, desirous of concurring in the execution
of this order, resolved that the merchants of each
class shall contribute towards the formation and
organisation of these hospitals, a subscription to
the amount of one per cent. of their declared capi-
tal, which will produde 160,000 rubles. The num-
ber of persons attacked with cholera at St. Peters-
burgh, since its first appearance to July the 17th,
was 6,224.

GERMAN PAPERS RECEIVED THIS DAY.

CoNswrnsorte. JUNE 25.—The Sultan,
after having viewed the fortifications of the Dar-
danelles, returned to Gallipoli,where he proceeded
by land to Adrianople, where be seems to intend
making a short stay. He is expected back in a
week, when several entertainments will be given
by the great men. Cannon, ammunition, &c. are
daily sent to Romelia, whence it seems that the
contest with the rebels still continues. An English
frigate lately arrived here, which is to take the
English Ambassador on board. The Russian
steam-boat now plies regularly between this city
and Odessa. According to accounts from Smyrna,
the plague was on the increase there ; from 30 to
40 persons die every day. Trade is wholly at
a stand, as every body is flying into the country.
\Truce a, JULY 19.—We have received ac-
counts from Scutari to the 3d inst. They state
that the Pacha of Scutari has already taken ad •
vantage of the singular remissness that has for some
time past been observed in the military operations
of the Grand Vizier. On the 20th June he sent
5000 men, under the command of one of his rela-
tions against the division of the Sultan's troops,
under lazed Mehemed ?ache, ordered to besiege
Scutari. They met at Allesso, and the troops of
Scutari, attacking with impetuosity, gained a de-
cided victory. As soon as this news arrived at
Scutari, the courage of the inhabitants was re-
vived. Mustapha Pacha immediately order a new
levy of one man per house and raised his force to
15,000men.On theist he marched in person against
the GrandVizir, intending to attempt a decisive blow.
When our accounts came away the result of this
operation was not known in Scutari. The greatest
anxiety was felt, as it is evident that the fate of
Mustapha Pacha will be sooner decided; nobody
believes that he will be victorious.
VIEW N•, JULY 27.—The statement of the
death of Gen. Baron Frimont, Commander-in-
Chief in the kingdom of Lombardy and Venice,
was premature, but he is so ill in consequence of
an attack of the goat in the stomach, that his life
is despaired of.

-
FRANCE.
(From ow own Correspondent.)
PARIS, Alio. 7.
Si a-m.We are all here in anxiety, fermentation,
end doubt, from the sudden resolution of the Go-

vernment to send armed enecours into Belgium.
The general opinion is, that the torch of war, mice
lighted, will speed conflagration over the whole
of .Europe. The Parisians are all alive at the
prospect of retrieving their former glory, and
washing out the stain which the presence f the
allied armies has left in the moat polished capital
of Europe. All is bustle and activity in the war
department; and certainly all this looks much
more like a general European war, than that of the
five great powers preparing to pounce upon such
an insignificant state as Holland.
The army sent into Belgium amounts already to
upwards of 50,000 men ; and it is said that 25,000
of the line will be called from the provinces of the
west, in order to be directed towards the frontiers
of the north, to replace the Belgian army, and to
follow them in case of need. A law is to be also
presented to the Chamber, immediately after the
vote of the address, for the moving of 400,000 of
the national guard. Volunteers are pressing from
all quarters to enlist, and prove more than ever that
if the army despatched into Belgium merely make
a military promenade, as the ministry appear to
insinuate is all that will be necessary, that it will
not be so easy to march them back again, and that
it will be impossible to restrain the enthusiasm that
has burst forth, as if by enchantment.
The Proclamation of King Leopold to the Bel-
gian people arrived yesterday at Paris. The
Prince, after having repeated the words which he
addressed on the day of his inauguration, to the
representatives of the country, declares, that a
Belgian himself, he will defend Belgium; he
counts upon the co-operation of all, and announces
that be will go himself where honour calls. His
Majesty has in fact departed for Melina'. An
order has been given to:arrest the Minister of War,
M. de Failly; he has taken to flight. The state
in which M. de Failly has left the defence of the
country, inspires serious uneasiness at Brussels.
By the accounts which have been received at
Paris, the hostilities of the Dutch have coin-
minced in a manner worthy alone of the warfare
of the Nortb American Indians—burning and in-
undating
the crops and villages of the Belgians—
sailing the farmers by Me ears to trees—
and afterwards tearing them away, and finally
hanging them ! Such a commencement makes
ne tremble for the character of the war.

The Prussian State Gazette of August 1, which
ought to have come to hand to-day, has not yet
arrived ; nor the one of the 31st of July, which
should have arrived yesterday. No one can ac-
count for this delay. Intelligence is looked for
with the greatest anxiety from Poland, since it is
known that a corps of Polish troops is fighting
against General Rudiger, on the right bank of the
Vistula, where was likewise, at the last accounts,
the Commander-in-Chief Skrsynecki. Had the
Poles met with any reverse, there can be
little doubt that the Prussian Gazette would
have hastened to make it public. That paper lately
represented the insurrection of Volhynia as quelled
whereas there is hard fighting there still. The
Russians' had an engagement near the village of
Waskowiez, on the river Honyn, with the patriots
under the command of Holowinsky ; they attacked
Durutsch, with 4000 men and some artillery, and
took prisoner Baykowaky, one of the chiefs.
Since I commenced this letter, the Prussian
State Gazette of the 31st July has arrived, but not
the one of the Ist August,which is still due. It con-
tains news of Poland up to the 27th of July ; but
there is little news respecting the situation of the
Russian army. It is nevertheless certain that
the Russian troops are still on the road which
leads from Klodawa to Posen ; consequently
they stop all communication between these two
cities, which accounts for the non-arrival of the
two expected couriers. The Poles consider that
the Russian army has the intention at present, of
occupying the Waiwoade of Kalisch, and to esta-
blish in that town a commission for the adminis-
tration of the province.
The Petersburgh Gazette of the 19th gives the
reports of Paskewitsch upon his operations, but
contains nothing new besides. The cholera is less
severe. I remain your's, &c. J. L.
P.S. Bate lust, AVG. 6—(l 1 o'clock at night.)
—Government has just received intelligence by
Estafette, that the King had arrived at Antwerp
at seven o'clock with his suite. The presence of
his Majesty produced the best effects. The Dutch
have not the advantage of an inch of ground to-
day. General Chasse has given notice to all
neutral vessels, to quit the dock of Antwerp —not
wishing to be answerable for the damage that may
be occasioned by the bombardment. The following
are a few brief, but interesting articles from the
journals!

We learn from a very good source, that the
intelligence of the entry of the French troops at
Mona and Charleroi, is entirely premature. Our
troops will not cross the frontier until to-day, the
7th of August.—L'Avenir.
The colonel of the 56th regiment of the live,
in garrison at Grenoble, arrived at 4ons on the
30th of July, on his way to Paris, in consequence
of disorders which bad burst out in his regiment.
—Courrier Francais.

The army now in campaign is composed of four
divisions of infantry of the line, of four regiments
each, and each regiment formed of three battalions
of 800 men.

A letter from Milan, dated July 29th, announces
that Austria has just ordained a new levee of con-
scripts in a proportion stronger than ever was
seen, since that a hamlet which ordinarily fur-
nished but one man, has now to furnish five. It
has besiddes ordained another levy for September.
This fact completely contradicts the suspension of
the armaments of Austria—Le Globe.
We have before us a letter written from Ant-
werp by a French officer in the service of Belgium.
The following passage proves that at the theatre of
war they do not doubt of the support which the
Holy Alliance lends to the Dutch cause.

ANTWERP, Aug. 6.—A considerable fleet, com-
posed of frigates, steam boats, shallops, and gun-
boats, are prepared for a very strong attack. Ano-
ther fleet is in line before Antwerp. The city will
be burnt; the citadel, which is in the power of the
Dutch, is armed with 40 cannon. The forts whisk
my brother commands ha been occupied for the

last two days in making red hot balls of calibre 44
which are always ready. The Dutch fleet haw a;
its foremast the Prussian lag, and at the mizeii
mast the Russian flag. It appears that there is au
alliance. My brother is kept iu COMMA maii4o,
day and night: he has not a minute to himself: iu
fact, a bloody battle will take place soon. We
have just made to the Commander-in-Chief th..
proposition of using fire ships, and I have made
the offer to conduct them.—Revolsition.
La Tribune rejoices in war, but protests against
its being undertaken for the benefit of " en pre/et
Anglais."
Le Temps says that England has nominated *4
King of Belgium, and France is now about to de-
fend that King, against the powers whom his
election has irritated, as it ought to have irritate!!
France.

Le Globe says that the war must necessarily be
an European one, and urges the ministry at one.,
loudly and publicly to call for the assistance of Eng-
land, as a brother demands the support of his brother,
and then, in concert with Great Britain, proclaim
the universal principles of true liberty and general
emancipation from feudal tyranny.
The journals generally applaud the resolution o:
the ministry to retain office under the existing cir.
cumstances, though La Tribune and Le Courriel
Francais say that its principles are so utterly op-
posed to the feelings of the nation and to the march
of events now commenced, that it is impossible for
it to remain in power for any length of time.
The following intelligence from Hayti is dated
June 12 :—" M. Mollien, Consul-General of
France at Port-au-Prince, has written to the Se.
cretary-general, to request him to solicit the Pre-
sident for the protection of the government on be-
half of the French, to whom a longer stay might
be necessary for settling their affairs. Gen. Boyer,
in compliance with the wishes of M. Mollien,
issued on the 12th, a proclamation, of which the
following is the substance :
" The President, after having given a brief account of
the position in which the acknowledgment of Hayti under
Charles X. had placed the Republic with regard to France,
exhorts his fellow.citisens to hold themselves in readiness
for the defence of their independence against any aggression,
and calls upon the authorities to cause all foreigners who
live quietly on the territories of Hayti to be respected.
The Envoy of the Republic says he had orders to remain in
France but one month; but he only came back after an
absence of a whole year. and then with a treaty which nothing
authorised him to ratify. The Revolution which has
token plate in France led us to Indulge in hopes whim
have not been realised. Indeed, continues the President,
how could we think less favourable of our future condition,
on seeing arrive at the head of the government distinguished
ma, who, both in their speeches and writings, had so often
proclaimed principles which are in perfect accord with the
just claims of Hayti, and who, from the elevated point in
which they had placed themselves, had openly condemned
the exorbitant exactions of the fallen dynasty. The Presi•
dent concludes his proclamation by exhorting the authorities
to show, by their courage and devotedness, that they are
worthy of the mission which is entrusted to them, and of
the protection which Providence will afford to the Hayden
eause."--Galignanis Messenger.

EVENING STAR.

INDON, TUESDAY, AUGUST 9.

There are current repo—tar on 'Change that an ar-
mistice has been agreed on for six welts between
Holland and Belgium—some report that it is for 23
days; but the general fact of an armistice is cre-
dited, and hence the funds are getting up.
French letters state that their advance had already
entered Charleroi and Mons, and the &rule-
ticipate with delight' the speedy demolition of
all monuments and trophies erected at or near
Waterloo.

The French movement on Belgium is now
known to be the sole act of the lEnco. He com-
municated with the Ministers in Council, after ha
had formed his determination, and given his orders
to the War Minister.

The British fleet have passed Hastings in their
way up the Channel, steering for the mouth of the
Scheldt.

It is generally believed in Paris that Prussia
is party with the Kiwo of Holland, and there
were rumours in Paris on Sunday that Count
D'A ?PON T, the Prussian Ambassador, was pre-
paring to take his departure.
Late this morning, it is stated in the City, that
Ostend is blockaded by a Dutch frigate, and that
there has been a sharp rencontre near Ghent.

That the Dutch consider themselves in alliance,
offensive and defensive, with Prussia and Russia,
is evident from the fact, communicated in our
Paris Letter, that one of the Dutch men-of-war in
the Scheldt sports a Russian flag at her stern, and
a Prussian flag in her bow.
Among the British ministers, there exists per-
fect confidence that the armistice between Bel-
gium and Holland will certainly be renewed
within the present week. It is even imagined.
that our squadron will arrive in the Scheldt too
late.

It is believed that the left or gauche party in
the French Chamber forms a decisive majority in
regard to all political questions which may be
brought under consideration.
The Poles in London are without private ad-
vice. from Warsaw, and it is believed that all
letters on public affairs are stopped at the Prussian
Post. Office.

The latest arrivals from the seat of war in Po-
land, prove that the Russians, who crossed the
Vistula at Niesawa, about 130 miles below Warsaw,
had made very trifling progress on the Warsaw
side ; and were every where cut off by the Lands-
, turm. The cholera is also aiding the Poles

such a degree, as to partake the movements of the
Russians in that quarter.
In the south, a Russian corps has approached
the Upper Vistula, 150 miles above Warsaw,
with pontoons, &c. obtained in Austrian Gallicia;
and they were preparing to cress not far from
Cram,. Mischief and devastation may thus aria
to the peaceful inhabitants of provinces hitherto a'
disturbed; but every military man will perceive that
no one effect of a campaign can result from then
desperate enterprises. Since the barbarians cannot

conquer the people, they are determined to ruin
their country as far as possible. They visit it with
fire, pestilence and the sword; while Europe con-
nives, assists, or with dastardly apathy, looks on.

A letter from Ltsacrw, of the 23d, given in
ne Times of this morning, states that the plague
has broken out iIt.GIIIIIALTAI

The warlike posture assumed by Holland, its
causes and its results, are the subjects which na-
turally occupy the conjectural sagacity of every
politician ; and the French journals, as will be seen
dy our extracts, are all drawing their deductions
from the facts, according to the bias of the party
to which they are attached. A Morning Contem-
porary has said, that the question as to the King of
HOLLAND'S movement, lies between " the utter
phrenry" of that Prince, and an " excess of per-
fitiv and depravity" in one or more of the great
Continental Powers. But we are inclined to think
that the step taken by the King of HOLLAND is
not one of " phrenzy," but of deep policy ; and as
to the other alternative, which regards the motives
of the great Continental Powers, we are never in-
clined to attribute a scrupulous integrity to the di-
plomacy and policy of statesmen.
To judge of acts, we should primarily form an
,pinion of motives. We conceive that the object
desired by Holland, and, probably, the other conti-
nental governments, is to try once more the chances
of war in the cause of what has been termed legi-
timacy ; and an efficient combination cannot be
formed, unless England can be involved against
France. That object, therefore, is all important.
If we admit this as a postulatum, let us then view
in what way the apparently rash movement of the
Krim of HOLLAND may have a tendency to pro-
duce the result of rupture between England and
France.

The Kiwo of HOLLAND must have known, when
fie made this display of war, that it might be met by
MI entry of French troops into Belgium, and of
British ships into the Scheldt; and what so likely
w produce the result to which we have alluded ?
A numerous French party exists in Belgium, to
welcome and fraternize with the French troops,
at the same moment that the mouvement party
has attained ascendancy in the French Chambers ;
for such, notwithstanding temporary appearances,
may be taken as the fact. The old boundary of
the Rhine is, it is well known, one of the avowed
demands of that party ; and, however pure may be
the views of those who order the French troops
Into Belgium, other views may actuate those who
probably may have to order their retreat. Let us
'oppose, then, an abandonment of the protocol-
established throne of LEOPOLD—brought about,
find apparently compulsorily, by the ascen-
dancy of the French party in Brussels. What
kind of terms would then, probably, exist between
the French and the British with the fleet in the
Scheldt ? Evidently, a collision could not be
avoided, and that collision is what the King of
HOLLAND wishes to produce—perhaps, too, at the
secret instance of Russia, Prussia, and Austria.

The state of the Continent as to the tendency
of public opinion in the masses, is not such as to
render the termination of such a war of principle
probably favourable to those who would so combine ;
but such a struggle is not devoid of contingencies
which might render it successful ; or at least suffi-
ciently so in appearance to encourage them
to make the venture, who must perceive already
before them circumstances ultimately to prove
equally destructive of their power. France is
almost as vulnerable, from the machinations of
discordant parties, within itself, as it was early in
the first revolution; and a combination externally
against her, if they have lost some means of an-
noyance, have gained others. We alluded, on a
former day, to the use which might be made, and
uhich had already been threatened, by Austria, of
the BUONAPARTE Talisman. The friends of the
lately expelled dynasty are neither so contemptible
in number or activity as some may imagine. Their
policy is to support, or rather goad on, the Repub-
lican party, or even the BONAPA&TISTI, rather
than quiescently suffer to settle into secure and
arcing government, the present popularly chosen
Monarch—possessing, as he apparently does, the
support of Great Britain. To separate, there-
fore, France from England is, no doubt, a most
important object of all who are primarily, or
secondarily interested, in repressing the progress
of free institutions in France.

The influence of this policy in the parties in this
country should not be kept out of sight. Bring
into hazard any of those points which have been
considered vital to British commerce, such as the
t-..cheltlt question, and you raise a stalking-horse
war party—which party, whatever the friends

peace may think, will be a powerful one u to
noise arid influence in the City of London, should
its standard be raised with a plausible war-whoop
attached to it. Foreign entanglement may anxious-
bt looked to,as a means of deverting from reform,
as it was too successfully proved in the first
'evolution. Let us hope, however, that the King
HOLLAND may withdraw--that the movement
to the Scheldt may not be necessary— and that
the wisdom of our present government, with
that of Fiance, may avoid all the manoeuvres and
ambuscades which surround them, we fear, in all
quarters.

......—....
The House of Col— l MONS o n Saturday confirmed
the Bill in regard to Weisel, Whit haven and
Kendal. An amendment was moved that Sifting-
wo should be added to Whitehaven and Work-

ington, but a division of 104 to 60 decided for the'
original arrangement.
Some other places were then named as fit to be,
added to 1), as Toxteth Park, Penzance, and Wey-
mouth, separately from Melcombe-regis. Bat
Miniaters, wisely determined as they are to admit
no pretexts for debate or delay, resisted alteration;
and hence a dozen places, and among others Chel-
sea, will remain to be added at some future period.
We believe that Chelsea, which contains between
5 and 6,000 houses, at above 101. has been passed
over on account of a presumed influence of the
Hospital ; but this arises from ignorance of the
locality.

Last night, the proceedings, especially in the
Commons, were interesting from the topics, but
as devoid as usual of those displays of commanding
talents which in the last generation used to dis-
tinguish this House. We could name twenty
Members, who between 1770 and 1800, would
not have slept so long on the Polish question as
the whole of the present Parliament ; nor so long
on the distressed state of all the industry of the,
country, and on the inadequate pay of the labour-
ing classes; nor on the late partizan atrocities
in Ireland ; nor on the ruin which is falling on,
most of our Colonial interests. It is not to be
dissembled, that there is a want of originality and
commanding talent in the present House of Com-
mons, not only in comparison with former periods,
but in regard to the actual condition of the
country, which demands, but in vain, such exer-
tions in its Representatives as accord with the im-
proved intelligence of the age. The people ad-
vance ; but from some cause, truly to be deplored,
their representatives appear to retrograde, instead
of rising in intellectuality with their constituents.
A very unexpected decision of the Dublin elec-
tion committee, has unseated the two patriotic
members for that city, accompanied by a very omi-
nous special report, as follows :

" Resolved I. That Robert Harty, Esq. the Right Hon.
the Lord Mayor of Dublin, and Lewis Perrin, Esq. were
not duly elected citizens to serve in the present Parliament.
" Resolved 2. That the last election for the City of Dub-
lin is null and void.

Resolved 3. That the petition against this return does
not appear to this Committee either frivolous or vexatious.
64 Resolved 4. That the opposition to this petition does
not appear to the Committee either frivolous or vexatious.
" Resolved b. That R. liarty, Esq. the Right Hon. the
Lord Mayor of Dublin, and Lewis Perrin, Esq. had,
through their agents, been guilty of bribery at the last
election.

" Resolved 6. That certain individuals holding official
situations, who were considered to be connected with the
Government, did, in contravention to the orders and rules of
the House of Commons, exercise undue influence at the
last election for citizens to serve in parliament for the City
of Dublin. And,
.. .. . . .

•
" Resolved, lastly. That the Chairman, on presenting
this report, be instructed to move that the report be printed,
and also the evidence upon which it is founded."

On its being moved that a new writ be issued,
Mr. HLJWT, one of the Committee, suggested
delay, on which Mr. PELHAM moved a delay
of a week, and was seconded by Mr. O'CONNELL,
who stated that although 1,500 freemen were
created on this occasion, 4,000 had been created
on another occasion ! He alleged also that money
had been sent over by the Tory party. He and
Mr. Ceest ?TON exonerated the members of Go-
vernment. A long conversation then arose in
which 20 members took part, but it was at length
decided that the writ should issue immediately
by 76 to 51.
Various petitions were then presented from dif-
ferent places in Ireland in favour of Poor Laws,
and against different abuses.
Mr. HUNT presented a petition from Manches-
ter, claiming a lower rate of franchise ; another
from the National Union of the Metropolis against
property qualifications, transportation (or emigre
tion) laws, and starvation (or corn) laws. Mr.
HUAI', Mr. FERGUSON, Mr. PORTMAN, and
Colonel TORRENS, author of works on political
economy, severally justified the emigration schemes.
The petition was read, and it prayed that Canada
might be colonized with the idle, luxurious, and
titled mendicants of the aristocracy, who lived here
on the industry of others.

Mr. HUNT then presented a petition iron the
Westminster Union, which objected to the 10,0001.
grant to the Princess VICTORIA, and prayed that
she might be made Bishop of DERRY, and be en-
titled to half the revenue on residing in the diocese.
It was not received.

Mr. HUNT then presented a fourth petition. It
was from the Westminster union, complaining of
Lord PALMERSTON'S silence on their application
in favour of Poland. Lord PA LMERSTON justi-
fied his silence on such a state subject; but Mr.
Hurts enlarged with force and feeling on the
claims of Poland to British support. Lord PAL-
MERSTON stated that the obligations of existing
treaties would be fulfilled. Mr. O'CON N ELL then
spoke at length. on the sympathy due to the Poles,
and said the people of England were indignant at
the neglect of so brave a people struggling for
their freedom.

Sir R. IxoLis objected, on several accounts, to
printing the petition.

Colonel LAcEv spoke of his tardy motion, and
again compromised the Polish cause, by giving
notice of further postponement! Mr. Rom maw
objected to the printing, and Lord ALT Holt P agreed
with him.

Lord G. Bzw rzK sought for information in
regard to the avowed object of the French invasion
of Belgium ; and Lord ALTMORP satisfactorily
replied, that as soon as the Dutch troops retired
within their own boundaries, the French were
pledged to retire into France.
lord ALTDORP then moved for a Committee on
the Game Laws Bill ; and in it, that vendors
should take out a 21. certificate, which was carried.

A longconversation then ensued on differentclatmes,
and one was added, that no certificate for selling
is to be granted to inn, tavern, and public-house
keepers, or to coachmen, guards, or carriers. The
clause to enable large farmers to appoint game-
keepers was struck out.

The Kent Annuity Bill was read a second time ;
and a Bill for National Education in Ireland,
brought in by Mr. Wres, when the House ad.

FOR THE STAR.
TO THB BIRMIAGRAM UNION.

A modern author has well observed that liberty
will not descend to a people ; a poople must raise
themselves to liberty ; it is a blessing that must
be earned before it can be enjoyed. That nation
cannot be free where reform is a common hack,
that is dismissed with a kick, the moment it has
brought the rider to his place, as was the case
with William Pitt, and some others since his time,
who came into power under the mask of reform,
and then threw off their disguise, and appeared
like moles with the dirt on their heads. That na-
tion, says the same author, cannot bo free where
the parties are but different roads leading to one
common destination, plunder. That nation can-
not be free where the rulers will not feel FOR the
people until they are obliged to feel with the
people, and then it is too late. That nation can•
not be free where the rogue that is in rags is kept
in countenance by the rogue that is in ruffles, and
where from high to low, from the lord to the
lacquey, there is nothing realised but corruption,
and nothing contemptible but poverty ; where both
patriot and placemen, perceiving that money can
do every thing, are prepared to do every thing for
money.
_

I can assert, from long experience, that this has
been in a great measure the disgraceful and en-
slaved state of our own country, from the com-
mencement of the American war to the present
time. Perhaps some of the members of your
patriotic band are old enough to remember me
when I was the first Secretary to the Society for
Constitutional Information in the year 1782, at
which time, and since, I caused to be distributed
gratis by order of the society, many thousands of
political tracts in all parts of the kingdom. That
truly virtuous and most persevering of all patriots,
Major Cartwright, was the father of the society,
and the then Duke of Richmond, justly styled
friend to equal laws, was its patron ; and though
these illustrious individuals, and their highly dis-
tinguished associates in the cause of freedom hare
not lived to reap the fruit of their labours, I and
my worthy friend Mr. Thomas Hardy, as well as
his enlightened fellow sufferer in the cause of re-
form, Mr. Thelwall, and some few others, are left
to behold with delight the seeds which we, in our
several ways, contributed so largely to sow, at last
Ispringing up with such rapidity and vigour, under
the genial rays of a patriot King, as to promise a
speedy and plentiful harvest of moral good ; but in
order to separate the wheat from the tares, that
hydra of corruption, the boroughmongeroligarchy,
must be effectually cut up, root and branch, other-
wise it will again sprout up, and produce horrors
not to he described. As the boroughnionger
despots have plundered from us the fruit of our
labours, and shared it with foreigners of etery de-
scription, we are as anxious to get rid of them as
our forefathers were to rid themselves of another
species of wolves which once infested our laud ;
and, as we are looking to a reformed parliament
to be relieved from our heavy burthens, by the re-
duction of exorbitant salaries, and the abolition of
useless sinecures, plurality of livings and un-
merited pensions, your very meritorious conduct in
watching the progress of the Reform Bill, and
urging the King's ministers to do their duty, in
spite of their comparatively feeble but troublebome
opponents, has given great satisfaction to your
countrymen at large, and to none more than

The ICing of Belgium addressed the following farewell
coder to the 6th (or Princess Charlotte of Wales's) Dragoon
Guards the day before he left Ragfland
Claremont, July It, lin.
The Prince Leopold is desirous, in quitting Engles& to
oommunicate to his Regiment that the drew:mutat:es which
call him to another country has made it necessary for him to
relinquish their command ; and he has reserved it as one of
his last and most painful duties to bid them farewell. it
would have been his Royal Highness's wish on this occasion
to hate expressed personally to the Regiment his regret in
leaving them, and the sincere wishes he shall always enter-
tain for their happiness and welfare, but their distant quer.
I ten and the hurry which unavoidably attends his departure
render such a desire impracticable.
In taking leave of a regiment it has been his happiness for
so many years to command, many subjects press on his
Royal Highness's attention that he would be anxious pub.
Rely to advert to • some of these bear paramount claim to
his thankfulness and recollection, and it is such that he is
chiefly solicitous to notice and record on this last occasion
of his addressaing them. He alludes particularly to the
uniform maintenance of discipline, efficiency, and high cha-
racter which have marked the corps as one of the most distils.
plaited in the service throughout the long period he has known
them. This has been conspicious whether considered with re.
meet to their efficiency in equipment, their discipline and con.
duct in quarters, or movements and perfection in the field. In
every point these have been eminently and invariably sup-
ported, and hare established a name to the regiment,
that as it should be the first ambition, so is it among the
hi?heat rewards, a soldier can know. To Lieut.-Colonel
Wallace, whose seal and knowledge of the service has guided
and perfected this state of discipline—to the officers who
have so ably and successfully devoted their efforts to uphold
it to the non-commissioned officers and privates who have
maintained the discipline marked out to them, and, that.
lug the feelings of their officers in the character of the
regiment, have by their conduct assisted to uphold it—
to one and all, individually and collectively, his Royal High-
, ness returns his most hearty thanks, with his unqualified
approbation of their conduct under every view of discipline
'or exigency of service. To such officers, and to such men,
it is unnecessary to say any thing that can urge or stimulate
theit future seal. His Royal Highness feels assured that
their Sovereign's approbation will ever remain their first aim,
while the name of the Regiment, deeply honoured by them
and cherished in their hearts, will never cease to influence
them in attaining that high distinction. His Royal High.
nese has always felt pride in being one of their members,
and rte can never cease to feel the truest interest in whatever
can affect their name as a corps, or their welfare and hap.

SPORTS

'NAMES.

Yesterday was a bull day on old Father Thames ; but the
grand attraction for the amateurs was the match from Putney
to Richmond by two pair of Waterman. This contest had
the effect of rendering the river comparatively clear of gen-
tlemen who frequent aquatic sports at the matches at Lam.
beth and Quernhithe, where the men belonging to the stairs
rowed for wherries given by the inhabitants. W hen we
have to render up an account of several matches, it is matter
of consideration upon which to begin. However, as there
was a greater degree of novelty between the watermen's
match from Putney to Richmond, combined with the fact
of its having caused many hundred persons to assemble on
the river, many of whom had large sums depending, we
shall at once proceed to give the contest.
WATEIHSCH'S MATCH roes .I'2o.—This match arose
out of the one for Mr. Kean's boat at Richmond. When it
was understood that Hammerton and Lee, of Twickenham,
were to contend for the T,Lagedisn's Prize Wherry, it caused
• deal of conversation among the Richmond men, and their
merits as to stamina and rowing qualities being broached
among other subjects, it was whispered that the two Jack.
sons, of Richmond, were better men. The Jackson. also con-
sidered no too, and they offered to row against Hammertoe and
Lee for a 101. note of their own money. This was answered
by a friend of the latter party, and ultimately 201. was placed
in the hands of a gentleman, who, by mutual consent,
was appointed stakeholder. Yesterday was the day named
to row, each man rowing a pair of sculls, and the distance
from Putney to Richmond with the tide. After the match
was made, Hainmerton and Lee won Mr. Ban's wherry,
which had the effect of raising them in the estimation of
their Twickenham friends, and the betting became ex-
ceedingly brisk. About half.past two o'clock the men ape
peered at Putney in the bent wager boats that could be
selected. Several galleys were manned on the occasion, and
accompanied the match, as did also many amateurs.
Hammerton and Lee, in going away from the bridge.
were decidedly the quickest, and consequently had the
start. The Jackson., however, " gave way " in good
style, and opposite the Bishop of f ondon's came " bang^
upon the quarters of their opponent.. From this place up
to Barnes the boats were stein and stern. Hatornevon
and Lee were unquestionably the better workmen ; and, by
the science they were masters ot. they succeeded in pre-
venting, for • length of time, their powerful opponents from
going by them This so enraged the Jackson. that they,m-
vend times, endeavoured to sink the others, in doing which
the boat of Haminerton and Lee shipped a quantity of water.
Every manmuvre was put in prune: by the Jackson.; cacti
quarter of their opponents' boat was tried, and they occa-
sionally dropped slightly sateen its order to give addi-
tional impetus to their boat :tun a "run down" was
intended, but all without succe-it. At length this bar-
Taming work was put an end to, and in a manner truly novel.
OF Barnes the Jackson. had rather the best of me fouling ;
but their progress was impeded by one of the sculls which
had been placed against the back of IlAttimerton, nut being
easily got sway. This, it was evident, only prevented their
going in advance. It was no Bonner observed. than up went
the scull out of the runnel, and lett to its fate, and another
which the Jackson,' had taken the precaution to take with
them, was put in requisition. The Jackson@ then took the
lead, and maintained it the entire distance. The others in
coming in were not above eight boats' lengths astern. It
wan an excellent match, one hour and ten minutes were
occupied in rowing it.
QV rENHITHE RITHATTA.....The following waternien,
belonging to Queenhithe stairs, yesterday contended tor the
lath an• ual prim whiney and other prim given by the h.
Ital.stat.tp of the ward and its vicinity, via.
Joitrith Jeffs, purple; Jame Mint, orange ; (leo. 31artin,
green ; Edward Bourne, pink ; John Das is, scarlet ; Henry
Colcombe blue.
. _ _ .

Ilessrs. Colcombe and Tree were .he managers, and their
direction per great satisfaction. A barge was moored off
the mails tor the subsaibert, which was crowded. The
match ootunienced by Purple, Green, and Scarlet taking
their Pt a I iern• tar die Ann heat to row from buoy. moorto
off Queetthithe, round a boat beat ioned of Muni. Calvet'►
brewhouse, up the north shore through Meekly's.. Whig,.
down through the centre arch of Southwark Ben*, round
the above named boat, and up to the prise wherry off the
stairs at Queenhitbs► Scarlet obtained the lead, Green was
a good 'wend. and Purple was close in the tear of Owen.
In coating up, Purple overhauled Green, and turned hiss
round down. Starlet kept the lead throughout, and Green
same to second, about two boats' lengths in the rear. Purple
was all "aback." _ _

third or grad heat for the wherry.
Scarlet, Pavia, Change. sod Ptak rowed the last hat.

about a qiiitter past seven o'clock. Orange, at starting,
drew in advance, followed by Scarlet, but the latter was not
enabled to come within a " painter's length^ of the leading
boat, and as Orange had nothing to fear from the others, he
won the wherry easy. Scarlet u second received 41. Purple
has third. 41. and Pink as fourth, 21. The law roan of the
first and second heats received each 11. Several barites
being moored abreast of each other on the east side of the
stairs, caused much confusion, and several fellows, who were
rowed about by a man named Taylor, of below bridge. ap-
peared to be highly amused by insulting the spectators.
LANSETH REGATTA.—The ladies and gentlemen of
the parish of Lambeth, yesterday, gave their eleventh
annual prize wherry, to be rowed for by the free water-
men of Lambeth-stairs in three heats. The men's namu
were as follow :

William Shelton and John Maynard. yellow; Charles
Maynard and John Jackson, scarlet ; Thomas Byford and
William white ; John Allen and William Haw-
kins, green ; Louis Richards and William Brno!, pink;
Rdward Perry and William Richards, blue.
The whole of the above men started in the first heat from
off Lambeth Stairs to row round a boat at Nine Elms, down
the Surrey shore to Copland's Timber Wbarf, and back to
the Stairs. At Vauxhall they were upon even tennis with
each other, but Yellow first showed themselves round flye
distance boat; Scarlet was second, 'White third, Green fourth,
Pink fifth, and Blue sixth. There was no alteration after.
wards. It is rather curious that they came in precisely 1.1
the same manner as they were stationed.
In the second heat all hut the two first boats in the abore
beat rowed. Blue shortly obtained the lead and kept it
throughout ; Pink was second, White third, and Green
A very sharp contest took place up the Surrey ahrre, gel
there was not half a boat's length difference in the four
boats. White made a grand effort to cut off the second bolt
by going outside some craft, while the others took the inside
course. The " binman," however, was obliged to unslitp
his oar, and this effort failed.
Yellow, Scarlet, Blue, and Pink rowed the last heat.—
Although this was the grand struggle, nothing took place to
render it interesting ; for Yellow get the star, and continued
first the entire distance; Scarlet came in second, Green
third, and Pink, who had slightly injured themselves by
hard rowing, fourth ; Yellow received the wherry, and the
prizes of 31.41 31. 21. and 11. 10s. were distributed among
the others. Messrs. Noulton and Maynard were the ma.
nagers, and, under their dirt ction, every thing went off with
saufaction. They expressed themselves evceedingly grateful
on behalf of themselves and brother watermen, for tl.e libel
rality and patronage of the subscribers to their annual rlatta.
CORNISH WRESTLING, EAGLE TAVERN.—The annual
Cornish %Vending for various prizes given by subscription,
commenced yesterday under the auspices of tine weather, and
the patronage of many of the Nobility, and afforded to
them, as well as to some hundreds assembled to grieves the
sports, a fine display of Cornish science. Stacey, of Corn-
wall; and Milan, of Devon, first entered the ring, followed
by Smith, of Cornwall, and Finney, of Ireland, with many
others of notoriety. To particularize each point sued.: by
these " Masters of the Arts," would exceed our limits, and
u the win k of the standards are expected to be made this
day, we would advise those who delight in tho sport to wit-
ness the play.

rn at the moment of going& to prtits, that

extraordinary, despatched from London

'russiu. Austria, ind Russia, upon the refusal of
adbArence of William to the IA articles, have

ithilrawn themselves from the Conference, by de-
latinr: that they would no longer recognise Bel-

Pe1,..1(1! war is declared. Our troops start with
rise of joy. Will it by an universal war ? Will
t czar against Holland only ?Itis at Ber-
tha: that question will he decided. If Prussia
tipporm Holland, it is universal war ; but if it
3rces an act of wisdom from the King of Holland,

,eace is better assitretl than ever. It will prove
:hen that Kings do not wish for 7.-ar, and that
,encefarth it will be nearly ininossible, since ar-
mies are in campaign and gill not decide it ; since
n the midst of all these violent passions, which
:Tear ready to explode every moment, a spark
;ails. Ind falls without dawger.—Journal des
Debuts.

It aipears positive that a personage in the se-
Teti' of the Cabinet of Berlin, has declared to a
erson attached to the Belgian legation, that
'russia has not taken any part in the declaration
4* war of the King of Holism.:: and on the ether
;and it is affirmed th,t M. dv Werther, whose de-
arture has not taken place as was said, has been
M. d'Appony at the first receipt of that strange
iews, and had assured the Austrian ambassador,
hat not only Prussia is completely a stranger to
tin resolution of the King of Holland, but that
is disposed to make the protocols be respected.
if this be true. as there is reason to believe, we
must expect the entry of a Prussian corps upon the
Ilelgian territory, for, in any caF4e, Prussia would
lot leave to France all the charge of this pro-
Ttion.--, Le Temps.

What will be the effect of our situation upon
tlecign Cabinets ? evidently an effect of fear, for
such is always in the exterior the result of every
agitation which is manifested iu France. The first
rciort of the retreat of a Ministry which has so
witch contributed to the maintenance of the peace
of Europe, will appear a probability of war, and at
the same time we shall be believed weak, because
we shall be seen divided. Under this point of
view the Cabinets of the Absolutists will much de-
ceive themselves. There is amongst us, at present,
but a Parliamentary question, and in no shape a
fundamental division, upon the principle of our
revolution. In putting off the theories of a allepub-
!lean Minority of young brains, which has less con-
sistence now than ever, we see a nation confident
an her fortune, in her sentiments of liberty, in her
governmeut, and her representatives. No real
division exists in the Chamber of Deputies under
a national and liberal aspect, for the two candidates
It the Presidency were both of them patriots of
.Itily. That which has just taken place in that
assembly expresses nothing else than the recency of
its formation, which has not yet permitted its four
hunched members to understand each other upon
any political question. But there is, nevertheless,
fur foreign Cabinets, a great leeseti in what has
fas.sed amongst us, and especially in those cries of
•• Vive la Pologue !" which echo from all parts
el France, and which must be attributed to some-
thing much more noble in itself than party spirit.

After a year of peace, solicited in all the courts,
war begins. The Sag which fell at Waterloo from
the hands of Napoleon is raised again at the places
where it sunk, and it is to be remarked, that
rever has that flag been the standard of peace, that
Lever has it floated upon the towers of Notre Dame
without the Kings of Europe leaguing to boat it
dos it, that never has it fallen without bringing
upon France all the tomes of the Continent. Seven
times has it conducted our armies to the rencontre
r ith Europe ; twice its fall has opened to Europe
the gntes of Paris. Those, then, who would hope to
tinike it a sign of peace, and who send ambassadors
tai slow it to the Kings as a symbol of harmony,
either ate ignorant of history, or take its lessons as
a vain and frivolous game. These profound men
do cot then believe that there is a fate attached to
three stripes of carious colours. We will leave
Gent to reason non it, since they will see plainly
crcaab that wor Las come. It is true that they
stali of peace ; they would prove even, that
war is a new reason to believe in a general peace.
air 50,000 net., they say. will not go further
titan Amsterdam ; it is an affair a.4-rectl ot: between
and NI. Casimir Perier, so well and compactly
ogreed on, that M. Casimir Perier remains in the
iii.stry, although he is a man of peace, par ca-
t tl.coce. For us, who have no Nlitiistry to support,
c v believe in the probability of a universal war, of
act war foretold since ever the tia; of our revolu-
tions and of our conquests has replaced our ancient
colours. That which appears clear is, that the Ca-
binet of the Niels Royal, in declaring war with
Holland, has been moved but by two thoughts,
either the most absolute necessity for its own de-
fence, or the certainty of au easy campaign, nearly
similar to that of Portugal. Every intermediate sup-
positico accords to our Cabinet a character of
courage, which is absolutely against its nature.—
If it is necessity, we shell not be long in learning
it ; if it be the certainty of the consent of all the
powers, it is possible that this military march will
bring co serious change in our position, and it is
good to-protect Belgium azainst the armed preten-
sions of her obstinate enemy.—L'Avenir.

Up to this period the Ministry has not explain-
ed the situation in which the protocols of London
hare placed Belgium. The fact is, that according
to the terms of the protocols, this new state, ea
well as its Sovereign. will not be recognized by
Russia, Austria. and Prussia, unless the King of
Holland shall hare accepted the eighteen articles
of the conference of London, which will serve as
the preliminaries of a treaty of peaco between Bel-
gium and Holland. The eighteen articles are not
accepted by the King of Holland, Belgium, con-
sequently is not yet recognized by these three
pourers. Thus the ambassador of Austria, and the
Minister of Prussia, were assembled at four o'clock
this afternoon, at the hotel of the Ambassador of,
Russia, M. Pozzo di Borgo, in order to deliberate
upon the entry of the French troops into Belgium,
and agree upon the line of conduct which they
ought to pursue. The English ambassador, as-
sisted at this conference, of which it cannot be
Ir•Tig before we shall learn the result.—Le
National.

War is declared with Holland. William was
not willing to submit to the eighteen articles of
Lonlon ;it was his right. Belgium has accepted
them ; it was hers. War will decide it. If Holland,
in commencing hostilities, does not draw other
powers in her train, it is impossible that she can
resist the forces of Belgium united to those of
France. But if William has received promises,
and that NVarsaw sinks to-morrow, the armies
which will meet upon the Scheldt and upon the
Meuse will be but the advance posts of two
camps, where the whole of Europe will have
a rendezvous. The first cannon shot is fired,
so far is clear; time will soon tell the rest.
The news of war excited a lively sensa-
tion in Paris this evening. Generally, it was a
sensation of joy, The uncertainty of war appear-
ing preferable to that cowardly peace which we
have enjoyed for this year past, and the sentiments
of justice push all minds to desire battles. We
vaguely hope that it will triumph ; we mix in the
common hopes for Belgium, Poland, and our own
country. It is the first smoke of war ;it conceals
always behind it glory, liberty, peace. We are
sensible, we believe, that France has worthily
acted, in lending succours to Belgium ; and that
she will thus repair the long deceptions of which
her ministry has been guilty, provided that diplo-
macy does not turn the victory against those who
have earned it, and that it does not make even
glory deceptire.—L'Aveair.
France enters upon war in a new way, in the
way in which her revolution opened to her, and
before which our statesmen have recoiled for a
year; France wages war. It is a war of inte-
rests, of alliance, which it agitates; thus rules
diplomacy. But diplomacy will be wrong. It
imagines that Europe is in accordance with us,
and that it is to Europe that we throw the glove.
Tho war of interests, from the day when France
draws the sword, is a war of principles. We
make a beginning at Antwerp, we shall finish—
Where ? Our soldiers know well the way to most
capitals.—Revolution.
Nnthing again of Poland ; only the Corre-
spondent of Hamburg aunouoces the arrival at
Raygood, of a corps of the 11;:ssian army, under,
the orders of General Tolstoi, amounting to 20,000
men, and of 60 pieces of cannon. This corps is
directed upon Ostrolenka and Pultusk ; it will be
followed by another division of 15,000 men.
These troops are without doubt destined to replace
some one of those corps which have passed upon
the left bank. This silence is difficult to explain.
We conceive very well that the Polish Journals
cannot arrive at Berlin; the possible investment
of Warsaw by the Russians will render the com-
munications very difficult. But nothing can
hinder us receiving news of the Russian army by
the way of Thorn. The events of which the bor-
ders of the Vistula have been, or are now the
theatre, will they be too contrary to the wishes of
the Prussian Journalists ?—Revolutioa.

The friends of the strong and generous policy
of the government must applaud the determination
which it has taken of sending immediately Mar-
shal Girard into Belgium, at the head of an
army. This measure is but the consequence of the
seccgnizance of the new kingdom of Belgium, a
recognisance which was obtained and which ought
to be defended by France; it is the application of
the principles laid out in the diplomatic conventions
subscribed to by the five great powers, and the
entry of our soldiers upon the Belgian territory,
sill be the most solemn consecration of the agree-
ment of these powers, and a proof of the veritable
character which France will henceforth play
upon the Continent. Far from being a signal of
inquietude for the tranquillity of Europe, this war
is in some sort a new pledge of peace. It is
destined to prove to France, on the one part, that
the disposition of the powers are of a nature to dis-
sipate the vain alarms with which it is inspired ;
and on the other, that a country which can in
tweuty-four hours thus put an army in march,
ought to rest in security upon the preservation of
its honour, of its dignity, and its independence.—
/11cniteur.

The gauntlet is thrown. There are immense
complications of interests. • Behold the first blow at
the treaties of of 1814 and 1815, it is the moment
of proclaiming great truths, of truths which will be
understood because they will be national. Every
thing, in the treaties of 1814 and 1815, was made
in the interests of England, against the interests
lof France and against the repose of Europe. These
' acts placed at once all the continental powers in a
subordinate and critical position. Great Britain
rules by the fear of popular revolutions, and by
the divisions which she is capable of sowing amongst
others. Divide et impera is the axiom which she
puts constantly in practice, and which she deposited
in the stipulations of Vienna. We have seen the
fruiu. Nothing favours the mercantile interests of
Great Britain like revolutions, disorders, and divi-
sions. Whilst quarrels are decided upon the field
of battle, she reigns sovereign: upon the seas, and she
has but to agitate her trident to make laws to the
world. She furnishes arms and ammunition to all
the combatants ; she makes herself the ally of
some and the arbiter of all, and when lassitude or
victory has produced peace, conquered and con-
querers pay ransom to her, and she continues to
reign by anxieties, disorders, and discord. The
treaties of 1818 and 1815 disorganised Europe and
only profited England. In drawing Prussia to
France, they have formed of the kingdom of Frede-
rick the Great an incoherent state in Its parts, with-
out proportions, of an immoderate length, and
which is neither Polish, nor German, nor French,
but which is composed of these three elements.

But it required to hold Fiance in respect towards'
the Rhine without giving Prussia a consistence ca-
pable of deranging the views of the English ca-
binet, and Franco and Prussia were sacrificed. On
the side of the Prussian fortresses were raised the
,Belgian fortresses, in order to bridle France, said
Lord Wellington, and to bridle it by force, the
British power, which surrounded these places with
walls, became herself the inspector. Thus,
upon all that line, was raised a wall of iron and
bronze, upon which was placed, according to the
expression of Mr. Canning, the artillery of popular
excitations.— Gazette de France.

shich existed for some days put in this capital,
and which resulted from the general enthusiasm
for the defence of the sovereign and the country,
which was generally excited in the inhabitants by
the entrance of the French squadron into the Ta-

no obstacle to prevent law and good order from

your Excellency hall employ all the means in
your power to prevent the repetition of certain ex-
cesses committed on the days alluded to by private
persons against various other persons, who, they
said, belonged to the revolutionary party. His
Majesty is informed that these excesses were mostly
provoked by some criminal acts of the persons
on whom they were committed ; but law and jus-
tice, which alone can make the happiness of na-

permit crimes to be punished except by the com-
petent authorities and proceedings. Your Excel-

PANORAMA OF THE BRITISH
EMPIRE.
NOTTINGHAII7IFFICW, Alert:lE4
Mr. Buckingham addressed the inhabitants of Sheffield,
in the Music Hall of that town, on Monday, August 1,
with his usual great ability, on the subject adult approach-
ing privilege of sending representatives to Parliament. It
fills above a page of this paper, and we can give but a few
hP-
Parailrap
" I will begin, be says then, by stating, that when I first
entered Sheffield, in order to call the attention of its opulent,
I active, and enterprising merchants and manufacturers to the
great importance of their joining the commuolties of other
large towns in demanding that free admission to the mar-
kets of India, China, and the eastern seas, which is now so
unjustly withheld from them by the East India Company's
exclusive monopoly, I had not the most remote idea of my
name being in any way connected with the representation of
Sheffield in parliament. I delivered, as you remember, my
introductory lecture on this subject, to a large and respects-
ble auditory, in this hall, one of whom, in a newspaper of
the following week, first made the suggestion °tiny supposed
fitness for the trust adverted to, which was followed in the
paper of the subsequent week by an article commending the
suggestion, and giving to it the weight of his sanction and en-
couragement, in terms far too flattering for me to repeat, but
which the high and well-earned reputation of the paper
and its conductors would not admit of me supposing to
be otherwise than sincere. Other observations were elicited
on this subject from other pens, so that In the public
prints, and in private circles, the topic has obtained so
much of notoriety, that I felt myself bound, in courtesy
to those who had thus honoured my name with such an as.
sociation of it with the most important public duties that
an Englishman can be called on to perform, and in due
respect to the community of the town itself, to take some
public notice of the matter before I quitted it. My first
impression was to have addressed a letter to the newspapers
bearing my own signature, and developing my own views ;
but on re-consideration, it appeared to me that after the
cheering and public plaudits whish bad marked the pro-
gress of my humble labours among you, on the subject
of India and eastern affairs—after the cordial and flatter-
ing manner in which so many personal civilities and hos-
pitalities had been extended to me during my abort stay
in your society, it would be more becoming in me, as well
as more gratifying to my feelings—more respectful to you,
and more harmony with that fairness and candour which I
have always endeavoured to exhibit In every action of my
life, to come among you openly again—to meet you face to
face—to submit myself to any public challenge or open in.
vestigation that might be desired—and personally to tell
you all I thought or felt on the subject so interesting and
so important to all freemen, as to who should be their chosen
representatives.
" This suggestion of my being placed in Parliament, not
more as a fit and proper representative of any particular
town, than as a tried advocate of the general emancipation of
our commerce from all existing restraints, and the promo-
tion of our commercial intercourse with the oriental world,
may to some of you, perhaps, be now heard for the first
time ; but to those who are in the habit of reading the news-
papers of other parts of the kingdom, I need hardly say,
that there is scarcely any town of importance in which my
exposure of the evils of the East India monopoly has been
made, in the papers of which this suggestion has not been
made and repeated.
" it is a most valuable principle in the British Constitu-
tion, that every man is theoretically recognized as having a
right to some share, as undoubtedly every man has a deep
Intense, in the government of the cottony, and that principle
is distinctly recognized in many of the acknowledged maxims
of constitutional law, but in none mere clearly than that
which says' " No man shall be taxed without his own con-
sent, given by his Representative in Patliament ;" and in the
statute, " De to lagio non eoneedesdo," made by Edward
I. and justly characterised by De Lohne, as forming. with
Magna Charts, the basis of the English constitution. In
carrying this system into practice, It could Dever, of course,
happen that the exact views of every individual among the
electors should be entertained or advocated by the repreien.
native, for that would be clearly impossible ; but the man
so chosen by them, being the one, out of any given number
over whom the range of their choice extended. who most
nearly resembled in his general views on all great and im.
prune topics, the majority of the electoral body, they would
have the strongest assurance that by such an individual their
wants, their wishes, and their interests, would be most accu-
rately and faithfully represented in the legislative assembly.
In the first place, the local interests of the town, its com-
merce, its prosperity, should be well understood and care-
fully attended to ; and for this purpose I think you could
not possibly do better than select from among your own fel.
low citizens, the individual whom, in all respects, you deem
most competent, most vigilant, and most worthy to guard
those interests well. On this head it would be presumption
in me to bay more. Whoever that individual may be, your
means of ascertaining his fitness, your power of judging of
his qualifications, and your discretion in the selection may,
I have no doubt, be relied on ; and my hope, as well
as my conviction, . is, that you will do honour
to the worthiest, as by that you will do most honour to
yourselves. But you will not, lam sure, stop there;
you will reasonably infer that when the legislature gives to
every large town the power of sending two members to par-
liament, it is neither intended nor expected that boll, of them
shall be local and resident members ' • for every town,
besides its interest in its own individual welfare, has
undoubtedly a deep and important stake In the welfare of
every other place, and in the happiness and prosperity
of the empire at large. The second member therefore,
e•cmtidi"ll, hi he well might do, the guardianship of the
local interests to his resident colleague, and acting cordially
with him on all occasions in which his counsel or his
aid can strengthen any exertions made on that behalf, should
be a man of very general and extensive Information, and
amid reside, if possible, either in or near the seat of go.
vernasent itself, so as to be upon the spot at all times when
urgent affairs required his presence; and thus to attend to
that continued stream of public business, which no local
member could so accurately understand, or so conveniently
follow up,. as one- whose residence, whose connections,
whose acquaintances, and whose habits was Strictly metro.
politan ; and who, when in London, would be in every
sense of tin word at home.

" The qualifications of such a member should be manifold;
and embrace. aa it appears to me, the following prominent
characteristics at least :

First—be should be a person of very varied and extensive
erperience—his mind Noted with an ample knowledge of
facts; mere especial)), those bearing on the political, corn.
menial, and social interests of his country and of mankind.
Experience is the soundest basis of wisdom, and the safest
guide in legislation.
Secondly—Next to large and general exthe re-1
pruswitative should have the capacity to thinly, and
meson jusdy, upon the facts within his cognizance.
Thirdly—lt le equally necessary that he should possess
the power of communicating the experience acquired and the
reasoning applied, to other persons by whom be should be'
surrounded: for without this faculty, these advantages
would be limited to himself. He should undoubtedly be
able to give ready and powerful utterance to his thoughts,'
in a style at once rapid, clear, and intelligible, winning
and persuasive t for all these qualities would be in daily re-
quisition. Without this faculty, the wisdom of Socrates
and Plato combined would be unavailing; the thunder of
Demosthenes and the lightning of Cicero are wanting, to
rouse the apathetic, to terrify the iniquitous, and to purge
the political atmosphere of the constantly collecting cicuds
which impair its healthiness, and render the tespirations of
freedom less light and airy, and elastic, than they become
after their dispersion before the purifying bolts and shafts
of eloquence and truth combined.
Fourthly--Again, in addition to this extensive experience
of all men and things—this power of accurate thinking and
this faculty to give persuasive utterance to such thoughts,
should yet be supercdded the possession of robust and vi-
gorous health, a power of enduring fatigue, a fortitude to
sustain defeat, a perseverance to renew the conflict when
beaten, a seal that nothing can abate or tire, and such an
entire exemption from all other claims and duties, as would
enable the representative to give the full powers of his mind
and body, and all the most valuable portion of his time as
well as attention to the business committed to his care.

"I pass from personal topics to say a word or two on the
general line of policy which I should be anxious to advocate
and pursue, should it ever be my lot to form one among the
members of the British Senate.

" I should lay it down as a maxim, that it being better to
purify than altogether to destroy the settled institutions of
the country, it would be wise, wherever practicable, to begin
with this effort at purification, and to change only that which
was found too -corrupt to be really capable of restoration or
improvement ; and the particular branches of our policy to
which those reforms ought first to be directed, should be, I
think, the following :
First—Reform in the Representation. This is the founda-
tion of all the good that can be hoped for, and without this
be first laid, no superstructure raised upon the present rotten
basis could possibly endure. The Bill before the House of
Commons will effect this object to a very great degree. It is
not, either in its principles or in its details, precisely the bill
which I myself should have framed, had the task been com-
mitted to my hands; and no doubt there are many among
its present supporters who see and feel that it has its de.
fccts. But notwithstanding this, it is so signal an improve-
ment, on the previously existing system—it sweeps away so
much more of the strong-holds:of corruption, titan the
most sanguine could have anticipated, that I conceive
it would be treason to the best interests of the state, to
hazard the fate of that bill, by objecting to any of its de-
tails, or opposing or delaying its progress for a single mo-
ment through either House. Let it pass—let it be tried.
Secondly—Reform in Taxation. This will undoubtedly
be the very first thing that will press itself on the new Par-
liament, whenever it shall be chosen. The great error has
hitherto been, that we have taxed poverty, and exempted
wealth, imposing the greatest weight of the burden on those
who are least able to bear it, while those on whom its great li
-
est weight would have pressed ,but lightly, have been
suffered to go free. In all this there must be a great
and immediate change. We must tax persons, and not
things • and these persons not according to the amount of
the commodities which they consume, but according to the
property they possess, on such a graduated scale as would
take from the poorer classes some five or ten per cent. of las
income, and from the richer classes forty or fifty per cent. at
least ; so graduating the intermediate links, as that, while
the most opulent paid the largest proportion of their in-
comes to the service of the state, the men of moderate for-
tunes should contribute a moderate proportion of their
gains, the people of smaller incomes less still, and the la-'
bouring poor be entirely free from any demand upon their
scanty pittance, and already insufficient means.
Thirdly—Reform in the Church. This Is scarcely less
necessary than either of the two preceding. The mon.
strous inequality, not to say gross misappropriadun of
wealth, in an establishment. the very essence of which ought
to be temperance, chastity, self-denial, and humility, is so
revolting to all our notions of Christianity, as they rue taught
and exhibited in the Evangelises, that it appears to rue the
best interests of sound morality, and religion would be
served by demanding an equalisation of the wealth of the
church among all its functionaries. and its appropriation to
every purpose for which it was originally graitsd, so as to
relieve the public or the state from the slightest addition to
its funds.

Fourthly—Reform in the law. This Van A nitwits% stable
that needs as much cleansing as the defiled temple itself, and
which it will require as great an effort to accomplish. Aly
sentiments on this head may be very bricily told. If I were
asked to give a short and clear definition of law, I should
characterize it as a collection of rules for the guidance of
human conduct, the observance of which should secure men
from evil, and the infringement of which should subject than
to punishment and pain. Now the first zequiiiiie in such
rules is, that they should be clearly Intelligible, easily
accessible, and so void of ambiguity, that every wan
called upon to shape his conduct by them, may be
able to have them by heart ; for, without this, how
can he regulate his actions by what he can neither
possess, read, nor uadentand 1 And yet, such is the cha-
racter of our law; more than half of it unwritten, existing 'I
only in traditions, and dicta, and usages, and precedents,
and decisions, constantly contradicting each other, and con. 1
stantly changing according to every varying interpretations
of every succeeding judge; and the other half filling more
than a hundred printed voumes, and written with so much
studied obscurity and ambiguity, that no lawyer, whose
whole life is devoted to its study, can be at any time sure of
knowing the exact law on any given cage, without references,
indexes, cobsultations, opinions, all purchasable only by
large fees ; so that no man not a lawyer can be otherwise
than at the mercy of the craft, to whom the " glorious un•
certainty" of their interminable rubbish is its chief reams.
mendation, as they live by its ambiguity, fatten on its de.
lay, and triumph over plaintiff and defendant, over the
victor and the vanquished, by making each party, the inno-
cent and the injured, as well as the guilty and the benefited,
pay largely for the injustice received at their hands. My
opinion is, that this is no other than organised and legalised
plunder; and my conviction is, that it can and must be
altered.

Fifthly—Reform in Education. This, which I deem of
equal importance with all the other reforms, would be the
crowning blaming of the whole; and upon this I feel so
strongly, that I should my it is a subject of deep and de.
served reproach to any government whatever, to have a sin.
gle human being within its dominions who could not read
and write, and understand arithmetic at least. You will,
perhaps, be startled at this, and ask me whether I would really
make this an affair of the government to bring about
I answer unhesitatingly, yes—and by the simplest of
all modes. No cathedral, no church, chapel, meeting-house,
synagogue, or other religious edifice, for assembly at public
worship should be permitted to exist, without a free school
for children of either sex—to the superintendence of which,
should be appointed and paid out of the funds of such church,
• male teacher and assistants for the boys—a female teacher
and assistants for the girls—and that, by these, in
separate apartments for each sex, gratuitous educa-
tion should be given to every child of their par-
ticular sect or community, between the ages of five and ten.
Who among us all shall dare to say that they are too bumble,
too insignificant, and too helpless to aid this great design of
Providence, In becoming instruments to hasten that re-
generation *bleb the earth requires, and on which haven
itself will beam its smiles of approbation ? Be ye, then, as
parts of this great universe, imbued with that which cements,
inspires, and beautifies the whole. Add to yourselves others
of congenial minds and hearts—be united in your means,
and faithful to your end,—then shall you find, that if know.
kge be power, it is union which gives to It its highest degree
of strength. Be firm, and you shall triumph. Be naked,
and you shall retain the conquest you may win. Be virtuous,
and you shall be hap. Be immutable in your jostles, and
you shall be honoured while living, and remembered nod
revered when dead."

Unlen.wats.—Yesterday, Sir Joseph Nicholson, Bart,
was charged with baying committed an assault on Madame
Angouleme de Frieze, a teacher of the French and Italian
languages.
It appeared that Sir Joseph had been brought up in a
monastery abroad, that his family estates were gone, and that
the complainant, who was distantly related to him, had sup-
ported him for some time, until, weary and unable, she held
her hand. Of late, the unfortunate man, certainly through
his own imprudence, has been wandering about town with
scarcely a rag to cover him, and sleeping out in stables, and
under gateways, and wherever be could thrust his head in.
In the condition just described, be called on the complainant
on Saturday, and having received the little that it was in her
power to give him, he endeavoured to get into the house, an
attempt in which, if he had succeeded, it would have been
impossible to get him out again until, as the complainant
described it, he should have eaten her out of house and
home. In the attempt, however, he was foiled; sod exas-
perated to • great degree, be waited in the neighbourhood,
until she had occasion to leave home, and then COMMeneed
abusing her, and ultimately gave her • severe blow on th.
breast. The assault was witnessed by a policeman, who,
at the complainant's desire, took him into custody.
Mr. Murray said that pest pains had been taken in th,
ease of the defendant, who although inheriting a title tem
his ancestors, yet was without the means of supporting it.
Situations had been procured for him, and he had been
also assisted with money, but he (Mr. Murray) was sorry to
say that the defendant had contracted such habits of idlereas
and unwillingness to do any thing to earn his own subsist.

STEAM VESSELII.--It appears that in the year
1543, a certain sea officer, called Blue* de Garay, fiend
to exhibit before the Emperor Charles V. a machine, by
means of which a vessel should be made to move without
the assistance of either sails or oars. Though the preposai
appeared tidicaloas, the man was so mach in earnest, that
the Emperor appointed a commission to witness and report
upon the experiment. It consisted of Don Enrique de To-
ledo, Don Pedro Cardona, the Treasurer Ravago, the Vim
Chancellor Grail., and many experiment! seamen. The
experiment was made the 17th of Jane.. 1543, on board a
