FRANCE.

PARIS, SEPT. 28.—We are utterly destitute of
news to-day. The utmost tranquillity appears to
reign in Paris ; but the police are said to be ac-
tively engaged in getting up or hunting down a
Buonapartist conspiracy among the unfortunate
Italian refugees. This affair, whether genuine,
or like those of which you, too, had some years
since examples, will end in the banishment from
Paris, at least, of those unhappy persons. Yon will
observe that the works for the defence of Paris
are about to be resumed. Some
persons might
thence derive the idea that fears of war and inva-
sion are entertained by Government. No such
stuff enters into the thoughts of Ministers. The
works, which consist solely of ditches and embank-
ments, will be continued merely to provide occu-
pation for the many thousands of poor men at
present unemployed, and starving, in Paris and
its environs.

An alarming rumour pervades those working
classes of Paris wile are not natives of France, or
who have arrived from the remote departments—
namely, that in order to have a pretext for re-
moving them from the metropolis, the police are
seeking to implicate them in the recent riots. This
rumour, coupled with that respecting the Italian
refugees, points directly at the legislative measure
respecting " foreigners," which the French Gc-
vcrnment is about to submit to the Chambers. Is it
possible that the Government of France is thus abort
to take a lesson in arbitrary and despotic cruelty
front those of Austria and Prussia ? The distort-
astute which took place at Toulon,Lyons,Grenoble.
Toulouse, Dijon, and other cities iu the southern
departments, on the receipt of the news that War-
saw had fallen, appear to have nearly subsided.
We look forward, therefore, with some degree el
hope, that '• revolts," " eviesites,' " unrest-
perness," and " assemblessou," have terminated
for the season. Letters from Berlin, received
yesterday, continue to complain of the uncertainty
that rests upon the actual situation of Warsw,

THE EVENING STAR.

LONDON, SATURDAY, OCT. 1.

ONE O'CLOCK. Tata DAY.—Thamoweter, 69. Ba-
tomeer, 29.30. Weather, fair, and cloudy. Wind S.

On Monday the °alai. QUUTIOW will be
opened in the House of Lords. The original de-
-izn, formally announced of making it a day-light
tliscussion, has however been laid aside, and the
House is to meet at four for the reception
of petitions, and commence the discussion at six.
We are bailed therefore in our arrangements for
riving the day's debate on the same evening; but
ue trust our Readers will give us credit for our
intention to gratify them, if circumstances bad
permitted.

Monday is, however, a day of great expectation,
and though no novelty of fact or argument, can
bast of all be expected from their Lordships, yet
the developement of their opinions will be matter of
intense curiosity, and their decision be awaited with
breathless expectation.
Last night, in a Second Edition, we stated on
good authority, the alternative on which the ma-
jority of the Commons had determined, in the
possible event of the Bill being rejected by the
Lords. The Commons, we are persuaded. will
do their duty, and re-pus the Bill instanter,
for a second determination of their Lordships ;
bile oar patriotic Sovereign will:then so exert his
prerogative, as to secure the people against ul-
timate disappointment. THE BILL MUST, WILL,
AND SHALL BE CARRIED—THE WHOLE BILL
AND NOTHING BUT THE BILL !!!

We have had put into our hands a letter from a
respectable merchant of Demerara, by which it
appears that under the Order-of Council system,
that colony has been put under martial law by
the governor, owing to a barrister, during a trial,
having asserted the supremacy of British law in
that Colony. We propose to give place to
this curious article on Monday, with some obser-
vations; 'for we consider every thing connected
with our West Indian Colonial Interest at this
time as of primary importance. Every person who
has read the statements published by the Planters,
and the resolutions passed in Jamaica, and in other
Wands, must perceive that a crisis has arrived in

our colonial system.
For our parts, we apprehend that the country
%%ill be engpged in a vital contest with some if not
all these Western Colonies, before the people of
England are duly aware of it, and while they are
qnorant of the real causes of discontent.

The public naturally suppose that British Colonies
are governed by British laws; and that every
British subject within the King's dominions is
Trotected by the statutes of the realm; but by an
inexplicable equivocation, worthy of the mod solemn
;•11,1 emphatic notice, orders in council have co-
It lative power with the statutes of the realm, and
e%en dispensing power, contrary to the Bill of
RiOits. After we had conquered certain colonies,
:aid until they were finally ceded by treaty of
pea,T, it "as convenient to respect the foreign laws
y }deb they had previously been governed, and
to tt,,,ralt on these, Orders in Council as a tempo-
rary and provisional system. But it is now sixteen
ear, ,ince many colonies were ceded and united
to the empire ; and yet, by an unaccountable
,bliquity, or relaxation of principle, these ceded
Colonies do not yet enjoy the omnipotence
ElitiA laws, hut are perplexed and tormented by
Orders in Council, generally put in force by
Governors, a modern race chiefly known in
e Ea, tern Continent to the Russian Government.

Independentiv, therefore, of the commercial suf-
ferings, from the continuance of War Taxes on
their produce, the ceded Colonies in particular
i'omplain of Orders in Council, enforced by mili-
tary regime. The weight of complaints having
uch foundations, can no where be more accurately
.ippreciated than by the free and generous people of
England ; and it will be greatly to be
lamented if the "jilting discords are ag-,
g'4"ted. either by their ignorance, or by the
clift of official intrigue.
in fine, we consider tt,is subject as pregnant
"11 as many important consequences to the wel-
fart. of the Empi,e, that we are willing to extend
our information on the subject, as often as oppor-

tunity permits, in order that the people of Eng-
land may not be caught by a fatal surprise.
...___,...—

We have no arrivals from the Continent to-day,
except a letter from Posen, which gives the Russian
account of a somewhat bloody engagement near
Kalisch, by which it distinctly appears, that neither
party considered the armies as controlled by any
arrangement made at Warsaw. No notice is
taken of the rumour at Berlin relative to ROMAR-
iwo's entrance into Gallicia, though Posen is a
day's journey nearer to the scene of action than
Berlin. Accounts from Paris indicate that
ROKARINO was on march to assist in the defence
of Warsaw, when KRUKOWISCKI enterpd into his
apparently premature capitulation.

The Cholera appears to be making frightful
havoc in the noble city of Vienna, and to be
spreading through Hungary, where the Prince
Primate has been carried off by it, while engaged
in building a magnificent cathedral. Thus, this
fatal malady is now scourging Berlin and Vienna,
at the opposite extremities of the German Empire.
Its further progress cannot therefore be expected
to be arrested. All that military cordons and
sanitary police could effect, were to doubt ex-
erted in the case of these two capitals. Italy is,
of course, threatened from Vienna, and Holland
from Berlin. We still think, that there ought to
be a Congress in London of Paris of skilful Phy-
sicians.

Various advice' this day, indicate military pre-
parations. Several regiments are about to be em-
barked in Codrington's squadron at Cork; but whe-
ther for the West Indies, or to co-operate with the
pending expedition of Don Pedro, is a Cabinet se-
cret. Our Deal letter notices the preparation of sup-
plies for a small fleet expected in the Downs ; and
it has been reported this morning, that part
of the Cork fleet are to return to the Downs,
and other part with the troops to proceed else-'
whenl. That DON PEDRO is preparing an expe-
dition against Portugal with the connivance—U
not support—of England and France, is matter of,
undoubted certainty, and we ardently wish him
success.

A loan to provide the sinews of war has been
effected in the City by Don PEDRO, on the secu-
rity of Church, Crown, and Individual Property in
Portugal, by which we may deduce the con-
fidence of the lenders in success. hl the
meantime, some British men of war are stationed
in the Tagus and at Oporto, to protect British
subjects from Mrov Eis fanatics.

In the House of Lords, last night, nearly
three score petitions were presented by the Duke
of Sussex, the Lord Chancellor, Lord Melbourne,
&c. The Wine Duties led to discussions and ex-
planations about Portugal. The Vestry Bill, the
Game Laws, and the Bankruptcy Bill, were the
chief topics in the Commons, and Sir C. We-
therell appeared as an opponent of the latter.

which is a sown of such great 'spent, will be continued
after his death ?
