TUESDAY, MARCH 22.

Perhaps there could not be a stronger evidence produced
of the state of public opinion, on the great measure of Re-
form now before Parliament, than the list of signatures at-

tached to the petition against the measure, purporting, mo-
destly, to be that of " the Merchants, Bankers, and others,
inhabitants of London." This list, if compared with the lists
which used, during the meridian of the Pt TT reign, to emanate
from the circles, then assuming to themselves the same
denomination, is really a very curious study ; and to those
who are honestly anxious to investigate the signs of the
times in which they live, we earnestly recommend a little
attention to its composition. We are so impressed with
its importance, as displaying the progress of sound
political principles, in those quarters where self-interest
ib supposed to be looked to most microscopically and
correctly, that we shall take the liberty to make it the
subj:?ct of some critical comment; and endeavour to
set forth some of its instructive features—we may almost
say beauties, for beauties they must be considered—
which tend towards producing a general conviction, that the
security of property, at the present moment, depends on the
accomplishment of the great saving measure, now before
Parliament.

It will be recollected in the times to which we have alluded,
that the terrors of revolution were held forth successfully,
to scare the monied interest into the support of Government;
and those terrors were adequate, along with the gainful en-
terprise which the extravagancies of a dissolute government
opened to commercial cupidity, to carry the vociferous sup-
port of the city of London. But now, the gainful enterprise no
longer exists to sway the intellect through cupidity, and
the minds of the monied interests, left to unbiassed reflec-
tion, make a sound decision ; and, from what we maintain
is proved from this list, are scared by revolution—not to
oppose reform, but to support it. Look to the anxious coun-
tenance of the fundholder on this question ! Even the spe-
culator in the funds, attends to the fate of this measure in
the House of Commons—not with the interest of a person
only anxious to secure the liberties of his country—but as
one anxious to watch the security of his contracts.
The list of signatures to which we allude, contains many,
we know, of as honourable, wealthy, and, in every sense, re-
spectable individuals, as any in the City ; but we maintain
that, if accurately examined by an eye familiar to the
mercantile circles of the Royal Exchange, it will at
once be perceived, to be a very small portion of those who
are supposed to represent the opulence and commerce of this
metropolis. We must not forget that this petition lay for
several days, not only at the London Coffee-house, but at
the .1 hatched House Tavern ; so that the net was spread
to catch signatures, both in the east and in the west ;
and the I ishennen were men of some weight and influence
in both quarters. What has been the result ? Three hun-
dred and sixty-three signatures have been obtained—
about ninety of which may be acknowledged first-rate
City names. But, if we closely analyse, we shall
trace these names connected with each other. Thus,
of about 15 names of bankers, (a small number in all
London,) there are only 5 firms ; 17 great West India
names include likewise about 5 firms ; 13 East India in-
clude 4 or 5 firms ; and how many of those firms
represent certain boroughs, our readers may guess.
From the Stock Exchange, we have one or two
proper representatives ; but one is representative for Queen-
borough, as well as the Stock Exchange. We have a Gen-
tleman who represents the Law of the City, but be likewise
represents Penryn : and among the merchants, we have
many whose senatorial' eloquence is equally well known to
tin ir nu merous constituents. There are only three of the

grRPRP

"!"'!•'

•

Court of Aldermen; and of properly what is called the
shipping-interest—that interest which is supposed to
have been so much injured by our present rulers—we really
have a most astonishingly small proportion. If we look for
opulent city families, we are surprised to find only one Curtis.
and one WIGRAM. Where are the FLownts,—the
PRICES, the Dixows, the MELLISIIES, and the KEM-
BLES ? They are all in existence! Why have they not
stirred ?—Because they perceive that the time has come,
when the terrors of revolution, and insecurity of property,
are to be seen too clearly in the rejection of this bill. We
hope and believe, by parity of reasoning, the aristocracy
will perceive the security of their privileges, to depend on
the same line of conduct.

Yesterday was a day which has been anticipated with
intense anxiety. The state of the streets in Westminster
fully proved that the question of legislation about reform,
has reached even the humblest fire sides. The avenues
within the house were oquallif rowdati, and there was no
access for the public, except to tlbooa *he had waited from
twelve or one o'clock. It wai as full i.bouse as ever was
known ; and the parts allotted to strumpet were crowded to
suffocation. Nearly sixty members, amble to find seats,
stood on the floor of the house, and them were disputes
about seats, just as in a theatre.
Both parties had mustered their strength far a division last
night ; and it would have taken place, but for a ruse of the
opposition to gain time, and create a confusion and distrac-
tion of feelings. The success of the division on Friday night,
encouraged this species of tactics ; and the provoking of that
division was deprecated by the warmest advocates of Mini-
sters, and the Reform Bill. The two parties were equally
confident of success ; but neither calculated on a difference
exceeding 20. Some of the best informed of the opposition
spoke of a certain majority against the Bill of 13, two or
three more or less; while many friends of the measure were
equally confident the Bill would be carried by 15, 20, 25,
40, or 50, according to the feelings of the patties.

After the Colchester Election Committee had reported
that Mr. SPOTTISWOOD'S election was void ; and the Galway,
that Mr. O'HAII.A was duly elected; Sir ROBIRT INGLIS
addressed himself to the pride of the members, in regard to
the severe and able animadversions in the Times on the
House, its elections, and its sham constituency ; and moved
that certain articles, as a breach of privilege, should be pro-
secuted.

This led to a very impassioned debate of nearly three
hours; in which Mr. CALCRAYT and Mr. BARING ad-
vised the motion to be withdrawn; and Mr. PERCIVAL
urged the prosecution;
But Sir F. BURDETT, Mr. HUNT, and Mr. O'CONNELL,
asserted that it was no libel, unless TRUTH was a libel; and
that, consftuted as the House was, no Jury in England
would be found that would convict any public writer, for
exposing the deformities of the House.

Sir C. WETHERELL and Sir C. FORBES conceived the
articles ought to be prosecuted, when Lord A LTHORP moved
the previous question. Mr. CAMPBELL thought the Judges
would pronounce it a gross libel; but Mr. HUNT retorted
that be thought the same ; but that whatever the Judges
might conclude, no Jury would concur with them.
Sir JAMES GRAHAM opposed the motion, and contended
that after several gentlemen had admitted themselves to be
mere nominees of borough patrons, they could not go into
court as representatives of the people.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL complained that the question
had not previously been brought forward, as Sir IL ING LIS
had shown him the articles a week ago.
Sir H. HARDINGE and Sir R. PEEL supported the com•
plaint. Mr. SLANEY and others treated the proposition as
a mere trick, to postpone the main question.
The gallery was cleared for a division; and after a pro-
tracted debate, with closed doors, the motion was with-
drawn.

Lord Jonw RUSSELL then briefly moved that the Reform
Bill should be read a second time :

On which Sir RICHARD VY V lAN addressed the house at
grcat length; not against some reform, but against the dan-
gerous revolutionary character of the present plan. He con-
cluded with a motion, that the bill be read that day six
months ; which, if carried, he would follow by a resolution
declaratory of the necessity of some degree of reform, which
Mr. CARTWRIGHT seconded.

Mr. SHILL, in as brilliant a speech as ever was made
in Parliament, and which extorted admiration from both
sides, replied with force and eloquence, to the arguments
of Sir R. VT VIAN ; who, amidst all his illustrations, had,
he said, totally forgotten Cornwall. He finished thus—
" Concede! and, that you may concede in safety, concede
in time !"

Mr. PEN DA nv Es, in spite of personal concessions,
warmly applauded the bill, and quoted the general approba-
tion of Corue all—a county which was the most affected
by it.
The arguments, for and against, so much resembled those
used on the first reading, that the second reading seemed only
like an occasion, in which those who spoke at the first read-
ing, wished to amend themselves; or those who bad not
the opportunity then, availed themselves now. Lord VAL-
L Y.TORT opposed the Bill—Mr. C. GRANT supported
it—Mr. W. &swims reiterated his former objec-
tions—Mr. SLANEY supported the Bill— Lord NOR-
REYS objected to it; Mr. VILLIERS STUART opposed
it; and resigned his seat rather than support the opinions
of his constituents—the SOLICITOR-GENERAL, and Sir E.
Sce DEN made long and able speeches for and against. At
length, as several other members desired to speak, at
half-past 3 o'clock the question of adjournment was carried.
A division will, no doubt, take place to-night ; and it was
confidently expected last night, even after 12 o'clock.
We have been favoured with the perusal of a private letter,
to a highly respectable merchant, dated Koningsberg, 11th
instant, and received this morning, which says : " It now
appears that the Russians have met with firmer resistance
from the Poles than they anticipated; and it is believed
here, that it is the wish of NICHOLAS not to per-
severe in the contest—under the pretence of a desire
to save Warsaw from destruction ! It is likewise

rumoured, that an armistice has been concluded."—
Other accounts received through private channels, confi-
dently state, that the Poles bad obtained several additional
advantages ; and the subjoined extracts, from the German
Papers received this morning, prove that even Prussia has
become apprehensive of the high status which that brave
people have soddenly taken among the States of Europe :

- -
Bsat.in Masca 10.—It is not unlikely, and there seems to be cer-
tain information, that in ease the Polish insurgents should be forced to
yield to the superior force of the Russians, a corps of them will attempt
to force its way through Germany to France. It is, therefore, abso-
lutely necessary, to increase the measures of precaution on our frontier;
and it is probably with this view that Fieldmarsbal Count Guiesenau is
gone to Silesia, and a division of urtillery has been sent to Frankfort, on
the Oder. The number of the wounded at Warsaw being too great for
the surgeons there, M. Von Orefe, surgeon to our general Staff, (a Pole
by birth) has, with the permission of Government, sent four surgeons tol
that city. Some private persons have also taken measures to send cur.
geons to Warsaw, who have already received their passport'.
From the letters from Warsaw (which are to the lith), it seems that
the Diet is preparing to withdraw to Mieebowa, in the territory of Cra-
cow • but a great many members appear to have no mind to go thither.
as they take passports to go abroad. It is said that Count Myeaelski
was sent to the head.quarters of Count Diebitsch, to propose an ex-
change of prisoners; but that he has been conveyed into the interior of
Russia. The letters say that want of reciprocal confidence increases,
and people loudly venture to express their opinions. This is the first
time we find such expressions in the letters, and it must be considered
as a proof of great uneasiness and party diffaences.—.ll,(yernelne Zei-
lung, March I&
Coaru, FEN. 20.—We have at length received here, from good au-
thority, the news, that the Turks have evacuated Athens and the whole
of Negropont. A letter from Duran°, of the 16th alt. says, that a
strong Turkish fleet was shortly expected there, to co-operate in the
campaign, which has already commenced, against the Paeha of Scutari;
or to bring troops, ammunition, and cannon, the conveyance of which
by land. in the mountainous and marshy parts of Upper Albania, is so
difficult, and almost impossible. Letters from Smyrna, of the 9th,
say that a dreadful fire bad done great damage there. Besides other
buildings, a great manufactory of printed muslin, with the immense
stock contained in it, fell a prey to the flames.
Letters from Constantinople say that the island of Selo, in addition
to many other advantages, has obtained, by a new firman from the
Porte, exemption from all kinds of taxes for three years.
BUCHAREST, FEL 25.—1 t has been reported here, for some days
past, that Stephen Vogorides (a native of Bulgaria, of the Greek reli-
gion), who accompanied Halll Puha, the Ambassador of the Porte, to
St. Petersburgh, as interpreter, is the candidate of the Porte for the
dignity of Hospodar in our principality.
HUNGARY, Maim's 7.—lt is generally affirmed in Presburgh, that
an extraordinary Diet will be convoked in the month of May this year,
to ask from the estates of Hungary an extraordinary contribution, to
cover in part the extraordinary public expenees caused by the present
state of things.—Nuremburg Correspondent, 13th March.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE-EXCLUSIVE.

FRANCE.

PARIS, Sunday, MARCH 20.
As was expected, M. Perier explained yesterday the line
of policy of his ministry. He has not deceived the public
expectation, all the predictions of the independent press
are justified. It is a coercive ministry for the interior, and
timid to the foreigner ; he would assure to us interior peace
by the unity of the administration—the force of power. We
know what those words mean. He pretends to preserve
peace by sacrificing the Poles acid the Italians; he would
concentrate the egotism of France upon herself, and wait
for the attack. For that, he must have numerous armies
and money; that is to say, strengthen with confidence the
power of the government, to furnish it with all the means of
enchaining us ; and after being bound over hand and foot
into the hands of M. Perier and the ex-ministers of the re-
storation, we are to await their good pleasure.—La Revolu-
tion.

The inhabitants of the environs of Paris say, that the ac-
cumulation of troops which is made about the capital, causes
every where the greatest surprise. The ordinary barracks
are no longer sufficient ; the soldiers are in many places lodg-
ed with the citizens, and at the houses of the peasantry, two
and two, and sometimes in a greater number. It is said to
be the beginning of a state of siege. Some persons, exag-
gerating without doubt in their fears, demand whether a new
coup d'etat is preparing? and whether, profiting from the
faults of Marmont in his command of July, it is thought wise
to keep within call reserves, all ready in case of need ? We
hope that by an explanation, promptly given, upon the move-
ment of these troops, the Government will cause these inju-
rious reports to cease, to which we do not add the least
faith ; but which should not arise to be joined to our other
subjects of inquietude.—Le Revolution.
The news from Italy is the most afflicting ; we are seized
with the most violent indignation in beholding the calm in-
difference of our Ministers, whilst the patriots of Modena
are slaughtered ! No ! it is not to be thus the sport of
Kings, to abandon our brothers, that we made the revolution
of July : the most incredulous may now open their eyes and
judge for themselves, that eight months has not consolidated
our revolution, but annihilated it.—La Revolution

The journals of the movement, without an exception, have
quarrelled with the explanations of the Ministry. The Con-
stitutionnel, which only waited to hear the explanation, in
order to pronounce its judgment, is now dissatisfied. It
calls upon France " to watch the denunciations of M.
Lafayette."
The Courrier, the National, the Journal du Commerce,
La Franc Nouvelle, and La Tribune, consider it a funda-
, mental error to have supposed that the revolution of July was
an act purely defensive ; all these Journals declare against
the interpretation given by the Ministry to the principle of
non-intervention.

The Temps and the Journal des Debats are the only two
ranged on the side of the new ministry ; the one discovers
in the ministerial communications a frankness which augurs
well for the future ; according to the other, the present
holders of power have spoken proper and firm language,
which will be welcomed with avidity by the entire of
France.—Gazette de France.

" Handbills have been circulated, and even posted up on
the walls, to invite the citizens, workmen, national guards,
to meet on Sunday, at the Fountain of the Elephant, with-
out arms, to carry Napoleon's statue to the place Vendome.
As it is impossible that the police is not acquainted with
this circumstance, and that it has taken no step to prevent it,
we think it prudent to caution the people against those
provocations."—Courrier Francais.
It is rumoured that a telegraphic despatch has been re-
ceived, which announces that an insurrection of the Carl-
lets has burst out in the canton of Bressuire, a remarkable
spot in the history of La Vendee.—Le National.
Various motives, of a nature not very honourable, have
influenced the Cabinet. The threats of Austria, which a
fortunate indiscretion, not disavowed, has rendered public,
were sufficient to interdict to the French Government all
amicable manifestation, with regard to the Italian insurgents,
which already felt but little disposed to defend their cause.
The presence of some members of the Bonaparte family,
in the ranks of the insurgents, the glorious part which
they have taken in the Italian Revolution, were motives of
disaffection sufficiently powerful, for our Cabinet not
to hesitate to sacrifice Italy, to the vengeance of
Austria. It cannot be forgotten what anxiety seized our
chancery, when the Belgians wished to elect for King the
Duke of Leuchtenberg, and what beggarly intrigues were
put in practise in order to repulse this dangerous candidate.
If Belgium had had the unhappiness of decreeing the crown
to the son of Eugene, she would have been abandoned by
us to Prussian bayonets, as well as Italy, who, at this mo-
ment, expiates the unpardonable crime of reckoning amongst
the number of ber defenders the young Princes who have
demanded to shed their blood for liberty, or who imagine,
if they have dreamed a mad ambition, they live still in slime

~"s

,

when they may conquer a crown with arms in their hand
It is thus that a French Ministry, forgetful of the high in:
terests which they are charged to defend, sacrifice them to
private interests, and to pitiful considerations of rope,
names, which, each day, become more indifferent to
tions. Finally, in the future, we discover if there is a tram
of generosity, there is, at least, some skill in the egotist po.
licy which we follow in regard to Italy. The projects
Austria upon this fine country are no more a mystery, si„.
will oppose as long as possible its entire independence ; i,„,
if she feels the imperious necessity of it, the Duke of Reid.
stadt will be destined, by the Cabinet of Vienna one dar, tt,
replace that crowd of petty Princes who divide Italy anionto
them, and our Statesmen, who are frightened at the simplo
name of the nephew of Napoleon Bonaparte, will then have
to applaud, in their immediate neighbourhood, the son of the
great man, crowned a second time King of Rome and
Italy.—Le National.
POLAND.

The army of Diebitsch in the greatest danger.
Marshal has been obliged to establish his head platter,
fourteen leagues from Warsaw. A corps of the Russians wa.
directed upon Pulawy to attempt the passage of the Vistell
but the bad state of the roads, and the continual rain, pr.;.
duced the greatest obstacles to his march. At Warsaw th,
national government shews much energy ; it knows that the
moment has arrived when Poland must revive from her ashes,
or be buried under the ruins of the country. The news from
the north of Poland is also very favourable. The
Karkuses have appeared towards Lithuania, and have
been extremely annoying to the communications of
the Russian army by attacking and destroying isolated
detachments. The Berlin journals, and those of German),
do not represent the affairs of Poland under so favourable au
aspect. They pretend that the Diet has demanded pass-
ports from Austria, and that scarcity exercises dreadful
ravages in Warsaw. The journals of Berlin say also tiro
the Prussian Government concentrates considerable forces
in Silesia, between Bricq and Cusel. That Austria takes.
upon the eastern frontiers, the same measures as Prussir
They regard as certain, in these two countries, tha!
the General-in-Chief of the Polish army has the inter.•
tion, in case of a reverse, to open a way across Prussia
and Germany, and conduct his army to France.
This project appears, without doubt, very adventurous.
But we may recollect that twice the brave General Dom-
browski was upon the point of putting the same plan in ex-
ecution, to rejoin the French army which fought upon the
Rhine, at fist in 1793, when the invasion of the Russians
and Prussians had just destroyed Poland; and in 1794,
when, after the murderous taking of Praga, all resistance
on the part of Poland had become impossible. The Diet
has taken, it is said, another decision; it is that of submit-
ting to the house of Habsbourg. Poland has arrived at that
point to envy the fate of Italy; does she no more remember
the weeds of Dombrowski to the emissaries of Napoleon :
Despotism for Despotism; the Poles have no want of it
at home, to go and seek it so far and purchase it at dn.
price of their blood !"..—Le Temps.
FRONTIERS OF POLAND, March B.—We have letter:.
from Warsaw of the 6th, and the Journals of the 7th of
March. The situation of affairs is little changed. Toe
Poles occupy Praga with 5,000 men, and from their accounts
the bulk of the army has pa-sed the Vistula, in order that it
may not be deprived of its resources by the breaking up of
the ice upon the liver. The 2d of March they were obliged
to chase, by the sharpshooters, the Cossacks who rambled
before Praga. On the 4th, the Quarter-General of the
Russians was still at Milosna, at two leagues and a half
from Warsaw. The same day, the Grand-duke Con-
stantine sent his Aid-de-Camp, Colonel Kiel, to Modlin,
to invite the Commander, Colonel Ledochowoki, to
surrender the fortress, by proposing that it should be
occupied by a garrison half Polish and half Rus-
t:hint ; but the Commander gave no reply. Later on the
same day the Grand-Duke left for Bialystock, where he rec-
koned to remain four days At Lomza, more than five leagues
to the north-west of Warsaw, they were obliged to employ
sharpshooters, to hinder the Russians from crossing the Vis-
tula. The Russians have conducted 1,200 Polish prisoners
into the interior of the empire, by Brzese-Litewski. Col.
Geritz is amongst the number : it was he who commanded
the volunteers who had taken the name of `• Infernal Chas-
emirs," and who had sworn neither to give nor receive quar-
ter. For some days provisions have considerably lowered in
price at Warsaw, and the arrivals rapidly succeed each other
since the communications have been re-established. Beef is

at 18 centimes the pound.—Le Temps.
