The thmien was aped to without a division.
foe question that Blackburn, including the township of
Blackburn, Lancashire, do stand part of schedule D, was
put and carried.
That Bradford, including the township of Bradford,
Yorkshire, do stand a part of schedule D, was next put from
the chair. . . . .

FELLOWES said that the bill on its introduction
was described as being intended for a final measure, but he
was sure it would not, as regarded Bradford, set to rest the
question of reform. Ho would repose that the townsh!ps
of Horton and Alannington be added to the town, and should
stand as the borough.
Lord Mt )11PBTH coincided in the opinion of the Hon.
Alember regarding the union of the threw places, but he
thought It would be better to leave that part of the question
tot the consideration of the Commissioners.

The original motion was carried.
That Bury, including the township of Bury. Lancashire,
do mann a part of schedule D. was put and agreed to.
That Cheltenham, including the town of Cheltenham,
Gloucestershire, do stand part of schedule I) was put and
agreed to.
That Dudley. including the pariah of Dudley, Worces-
tershire, do stand part of schedule I) was carried.
That Frome, including the town of Frome,Somersetshirc,
do stand pan f schedule D was then put.
Mr. D. BROWN said his own opinion was, that no bo-
rough should bend more than one member to Parliament.
lie had represented a borough which sent two members, and
it so happened that he and his colleagues had always been
of opposite politics, and it only tended to confuse them both
without benefiting the borough. He thought that Frome
had no claim to a member, either on the score of population
or taxation. Ito giving this opinion he had to state, that he
did so with the close friendly feeling towards the bill, which
he would give hb best support.
Lord MORPETH thought that Frome was entitled to
representation, as it was one of the greatest manufacturing
towns in the south of England.
Lord GRENVILLE SOMERSET said, that he con-
sidered Frome entitled to representation.
After some observations by Mr. SANDFORD and Al-
derman WAIT HMAN, the motion was carried without a
division.

The question vas then put, that Gateshead, including
the par6ti of Gate3head, Durham, do stand part of &be-
dale D.

Mr. CROKER proposed that Gateshead should be re.
tached to Newcastle, of which town he said It was merely
a part of the suburbs. He complained that Durham in that
tiisnict had been given an undue accession of boroughs--
ctere being Tynemouth. Sunderland, North Shields, and
South Shiekls, all within not more than ten miles, and
.bleb together did not exceed h. population 34,000. He
toought that miiii.ters had not adhered to the rule they set
Lot with, but bad been gt•itied entirely by their own caprice

Lord ALTIIORP said, that in the enfranchising part of
toe bill they had taken population into account, but they
had also taken other things into consideration. It bad ape
pared to his Majesty's Government that the shipping
west was insufficiently represented in the house, and they
had extended that cousidzration to Ste place-. named by
the bon. member, as well as to Whitby, being towns of
ample population in the medium degree, whose interests
were solely cor.uccte.l with the shipping interest. He con-
tended that it would be unfair to add so large a population
as Gateshead to Newcabtle, which a fair right and full claim
to the representation that it already possessed.
Mr. GUI] LBU RN said he bad no objection to the exten-
sion of the representation to the shipping interest ; but he
would draw the attention of the house to other places having
as good claim, to that consideration, which had been placed
is a different schedule. He instanced Kingston-upon.HuU,
which, he said, was in precisely the same situation.
Mr. HODGSON said, that the bill would only give ten
members to Durham, and by the proportion, calculating by
population, it would be entitled to nine members, so that
there could only be one member to complain of. He could
assure the house that the interests of Gateshead and New-
castle were quite different.
Mr.GouLnuax and Mr.HoDosow mutually explained.
Mr. K. DOUGLAS said, no one who had visited Gates-
head was not aware of ha being a suburb of Newcastle. A
great number of the inhabitants of Newcastle bad their
country residence in Gateshead. The trade and interests of
both places were the same. The same representation would
consequently do for both. The members given to North and
South Shields, and the other places in the vicinity, made a
separate teeniber for Gateshead conspicuously unneceseary.
lie should take the sense of the House on the subject.—
(lieu, hear.)
Mr. KNIGHT called the attention of the house to the
state of representation of the three adjoining counties in
Wales, Brecon, Dionmouth, and Glamorgan, compared to
tc e representation of Westmoreland. These three counties,
i:icluding their borough representatives, were to have tore-
flier hire members ; Westmoreland was to have ten mem-
hires. Yet the three counties possessed mineral and agricul-
tural districts of much value, extensive manufactures, and
sea-ports of great and increasing trade. Would it not be
more just to give a member to Merthyr Tydvil, a place of
nese, 211,000 inhabitants, than to Gateshead, a place with
only 12,000, and a suburb of Newcastle ? (Hear, hear.)
Ale. WOOD would, in answer to the member who said
there was no difference between the case of Kingston upon
Hull and Sculcoates, and that of Newcastle and Gateshead,
state this broad difference, viz. that Newcastle and Gates-
head were o.i Ifferent aides of a river, in different counties,
undo a dile:eta jurisdiction, and were totally unconnected;
wheredlS Kingston and SCOldedted were to all intents and
purposes one and the sante place. In &turret to the last
sp:ak.r, he would merely state, that while Durham would
lave one member to every 34,000 inhabitants, Glamorgan-
more *void have one to every 28,000.
B.r lie II Ali DI N GE having long been connected with
the county or Durham, opposed the motion with reluctance.
But Geesne.rd had no claim whatever to receive one mem-
ber. It was merely a suburb of Newcastle, and not distin.
guiabed by any important trade, or by amyl important
rrson residing withiu it. He considered the proposition
most unjust.
Mr. b A DLRR said the hon. member (Mr. Wood) must
he mistaken when he said the proportion la Durham would
I.c one member to evay 34,000 Inhabitants. According
to the census, Durham contained 207,000 souls, to which
bumbcr ten members would be as one to every 20,000
iiihabitarits. (Hear, bear.) He denied, as natal by another
sr..mlicr, that the reparation of the members was uniform.
Look at the neighbouring county of Yolk, which was to
have only thirty-four members for its 1,200.000 inhabitants,
%thereat, it should have sixty representatives to be on the
SCUM scale us Durham. ( Hear.) These anomalies existed in
time bill it every disttiet, and with respect to every interest;

netted with the plate.
Aftcr a tew words from an Hon. MEMBER,
Mr. PRA RD denied that Shields had the same jurisdie-
ilea as Westoe. The very reverse was the fact. The case
of Shields and Wes:oe was the same as that of Newcastle and
Gateshead. -

Mr. S. WORTLEY admitted that Gateshead had a et-
parate manor under Edward VI. however. this manor was
assigned to Newcastle, the Magistrwes of which place con-
tinued to hold their sittings there for $ series of years. So
much for the impossibility of uniting the two places.—
(Hear.) Besides. Rochester was under a separate jurisdic-
tion from that of Chatham and Stroud, with which it was to
be united.— (Hear.) The population of Gateshead was
11,700, or one-third of that of Newcastle, which amounted to
35,000. ‘Vhy should not this third be joined to New-
castle, when Rochester, with 9,888 inhabitants, was united
to Chatham and Stroud, with 17,500 Inhabitants, or
• population nearly double its number ? Again. the popu-
lation of Portsmouth was to be lost in that of Porters, which
had five times its number of inhabitants. Thus, on the
point of jurisdiction, the cases of Gateshead and Newcastle
was the same as that of Rochester and Chatham, and on the
point of population it a much less favourable condition than
Rochester and Chatham, and Portsmouth and Padua. As
to the interests of Gateshead being the same as those of
Nevce-tle. it was futile to deny it. •
Sir C. W ETHER ELL congratulated the "field of coal"
on the great viciory it was about to achieve, for to expect the
majority to depart from any provision in the bill, however de-
fective, and however coutrary to its alleged principle, was
hop. lese. He blast' extremely the expression of the hon. mem-
ni ember far Thetford who had called Gateshead, the violet of
•elitcluie D. Ile would not fatigue the Committee with des-
cribing the pcilumcs which this flower would shed over the
tchertule. for it was a violetof which it might be said non re-
dact sedolet. (A laugh.) He would not give the committee
a trsnelatiou of this, hut they would concur with him that
the ease of this violet was either one of grues partiality or of
gross ignorance. Let ministers take their choice. The ma.
jenny, he knew, was determined to support the measure
through thick and thin ; still would be remind the
honourable members that their resolution on the present
ewe was to be, or at least was intended to be, final.—
(Hear, hear.)
Captain STANHOPR supported the motion.
AIr.WEY LAND and Lord U. SOMERSET opposed it.
Sir H. A RDINGE.—Why should Gateshead, with •
population of 12,000, and at a distance of two hundred
yards from Newcastle, be separated from that place, whilst
Cardiff anil several other places were united with Merthyr-
' Tydvil, a place of 30,000 inhabitants, and twenty-five miles
distant from Cardiff? (Hear, hear.)
Lord ALT HORP said there was no instance in which
government had proposed that a borough of the size and
wealth of Newcastle should return two members in conjune.
don with a place like Gateshead. The case of Hull had
been cited. But. that place had beet] united with what was
part of the same' town as itself. Portsmouth and Foresee
were also under the same jurisdiction.
Sir M. W. RIDLEY said, Newcastle bailed with pleasure
the granting of a member to Gateshead.
nir R. PEEL was not surprised that Newcastle should
rejoice that a member should be stun to Gateshead, since it
was in fact giving three members to Newcastle instead of
two, Gateshead and Newcastle being one and the same place
(hear, hear.) They rue in a minority, but it aggravated
defeat to be insulted by such arguments (hear). That the
Ileums of Commons should be told that a commission, with
his Majesty's quarter-master general at ha head, was to
decide on the constitution of England. He did not before
think that he should advise to divide on any plate in the
schedule ; but even if he stood alore he would divide on the
creation of giving Newcastle and Gateshead three rem-
seetatives, for the purpose of recording his opinion more
certainl on the question (hear )1
AIr.HARVEY said, the right bon. gentleman, and those
who acted with him, bad all along argued that the boroughs
in schedule A, though not having 2,000 inhabitants, should
have two representatives; and DOW that ministers proposed
to give one representative to a town of 12,000 inhabitants in
1821, and that was increased to 10,000, and was a place of
great wealth and trade. (Hear, hear, hear.) They say that
Gateshead should not have a member, because Merthyr
Tydvil, with 24,000, was not to have a member. This
then was the basis of the representation of the Pall.
mall Cabinet. (Hear, hear, hear.) Well might it be said
that there was no democracy ;go wild as the radicalism
of Toryism. (Hear, hear, bear.) They asked why, If you
gave a representation to* plan of 12,000 inhabitants, why
withhold it from those places which had a greater number ?
That world be a very proper question from the bon. mem-
ber for Preston, and might account for the union of the de.
mocracy of Preston with their ultra-Toryism. He asked
them on what ground they contended that the rotten bo-
roughs in schedule A should have two representatives, and
now refuse it to a place that had 12,000. He would ask
them to what number they proposed to give it in their plan
of Reform. Gateshead had at this moment. accordiliat:

He would ask those who would refuse it one member, to
what attributes of constituency they would give represents.
tires ? He thought twelve thousand inhabitants,
wealth and iutelligenu, whether in Durham or Csnrallt
were emitted to be represented in that house ?
Sir E. SUGDEN, said, the noble lord on the other side,
when the measure was introduced, said it was to be final;
but their conduct ever since had belied that declaration. It
was only by giving perfection to the measure that it could
be made final. It was plain from the declaration of many
of the supporters of the measure, that they entertained
ferent opinions, which they postponed for the purpose of
the present measure, with ebe intention of bringing,
passing
at a future time. He asked, on their own
principle, why they should give a member to Gateshead, and
not to Merthyr Tydvil, which had a population of 25,000,
and was five and twenty miles from Cardiff, to which it was
proposed to be united. He thought this was really the worst
case that yet came before the committee. (Hear, bear.)
Lord ALTHOILP said Merthyr Tydfil was united with
other boroughs because that was the established practice in
the Welsh boroughs ; but Merthyr Tydvil, from its pope-
lotion, would have a predominance. They had tutended to
every suggestion that had been made to them, and had sods&
vowed to make the bill conformable to the opinions of Its
supporters, and hadisincerely endeavoured to make it, u far
as any measure could be, a final meesucr.
Lord JAMES STUART said his Noble Prised had
tacked the town of Merthyr Tydvil, the most manufacturing
town in Wales, to the contributory boroughs of Cardiff and
Cowbridge, and be could not but thud' his Noble Friends
were doing injustice to his coostituents. Under all the cir-
cumstances he should give his vote for Gateshead; but he
hoped the ministers would do justice to Merthyr 'ldvU,
which would be doing justice to the price/polity of Wales.—
(Hear, bear.)
Lord JOHN RUSSELL said two Members were given
by the bill to Glamorgan. In his proposal for improving
the representation in 1822, he proposed giving a member to
Gateshead. (Hear.) With respect to the measure befog
final, he should only say, that must entirely depend on is
working well for the people, in which ease he was confident
they would not wish to snake any alteration; but if it should
be found not to work well, which he did not apprehend,
then its supporters could not wish it to be hut. He would
ay further, that they honestly endeavoured, or intended, to
make it so perfect that it should give due power to the in-
telligence and property of the country, and should give
satisfaction and prosperity to the people. (Hear.)
Sir GEORGE MUItRAY said, he was confident the
measure could not be final, for it contained within itself
the seeds of its own dissolution. (Hear, hear.) He thought
Gateshead possessed no claim to representation, and that the
cities of Scotland would have great reason to complain.
Mr. BARING said it was the first time be bad known
Ministers propose any great measure to that house, and re.
fuse to listen to discussion.—( Hear, hear.) According to
their officious organs, the public press, they might as well
come down to the house and demand the passing of the Bill
without any discussion.—(Hear, bear.) All who addressed
the House in opposition to the Bill were misrepresented or
abused by the press; he was described as one who was
groaned at and yawned at.— ( A laugh.) He was called one
morning a fool and the next a fungus.—(A laugh.) And by
the report of his speeches he was represented to say nothing

sentences. All he asked of the press, as they would not re-

EXTRAORDINARY CONTINENTAL
EVENTS.
Expresses from France and Belgium.

At length France has taken the field, and in
support of LEOPOLD against Holland. If Prussia
aid Holland, it will lead to a general war; if
Prussia does not interfere, it will end in a mere
demonstration.

This might at first appear to every one to be an
effect of a change-in the French Ministry. but
THZRZ HAS Bill' NO CHANOZ. The King, a
true Bourbon, can find no public men, and no in-
fluential party, to take office in that subserviency to
his own views which he exacts—and, after all, this
demonstration about Belgium may be a mere bluster
to enable him to retain his subservient Ministry,
and then to carry the address in the Chambers,
serving at the same time to appease the popular
excitement at ono. against Perier and in favour of
the Poles.

A military movement in support of the alliance
of France with Russia, Austria, and Prussia, can
in no respect be popular in France, even though
the ulterior object may be the demolition of the
Belgic fortresses. It is not war, for the sake of
war, which the French Liberals have demanded,
but war in defence of Poland against Russia, and
of Italy against Austria.

If then this is another ruse of Perier, to keep
his place, and of the King, to keep his Minister,
we are persuaded it will have but a twelve hours'
effect; and it is already well received in Paris
only as an event which may lead to complications
likely to force the Government to assist the Poles
and Italians.

Again, the French, however untruly, regard
Leopold as an English Interest ; and though a war
to restore the Netherlands to France might have
been popular, yet a war to secure what is deemed
an English ascendancy in the Netherlands, will, as
we think, gain but a few hours respite for the Pe-
rier Ministry.
Beneath we have assembled all that is known in
Ideden dowp to, 0,01 o'clock:this afternoon.

PARIS, Ton R WAY NIOXT.
The King of France received intelligence late
on Wednesday night, that on Thursday evening
the King of Holland intended to recommence
hostilities against Belgium ; and early on Thursday
morning a courier reached the French Govern.
ment,with an autograph letter from King Leopold,
claiming from France the assistanee of an army,
to maintain the independence and neutrality which
was promised by the Great Powers.
At nine o'clock on the same morning the King
held a council at the Paige Royal, when all the
ministers of Casimir Perier's administration at-
tended, including the President himself, and thus
determined to remain in office under the present
emergency, until the debate upon the address in
the Chamber of Deputies. It was also resolved
that General Girard, at the head of 50,000 French
troops, should immediately march to the aid of the
King of Belgium.
This decision was transmitted on Thursday to
the military garrisons in the direction of the
northern frontier by the Minister of War, and it
was expected that before sunset on Thursday this
army would be in actual advance upon Belgium.
The field equipage of General Girard was leaving
Paris, and the General was .10 follow of Friday
morning.
The following is the official annowtosatant of the

Monitestr, published in a second edition on Thurs-
day afternoon
" The King of Holland has denounced the
armistice, and announced the resumption of hos-
tilities against the Belgians, this evening, at half-
past nine o'clock.
" This morning at 5 o'clock, the King has re-
ceived a letter from the King of the Belgians, who
demands of him the aid of a French army.
" The King having recognized the independence
of the kingdom of Belgium, and her neutrality, in
concert with England, Austria, Prussia, and Russia,
and the circumstances being urgent, complies with

the demand of the King of the Belgians; and will
cause the engagements to be respected, which
have been taken in common accord with the Great
Powers.

" Marshal Girard commands the army of the
north, which is marching to the aid of Belgium,
whose neutrality and independence are to be
maintained.

" The peace of Europe, disturbed by the king
of Holland, shall be consolidated.
" Under such circumstances, the Ministry re-
main ; they will await the answer of the Chamber
to the speech of the Crown.

Finances.

POSTC RTIPT.—A telegraphic despatch received
this morning, at 10 o'clock, announces that an en-
gagement has already taken place at Ghent between
the Belgian and Dutch troops.

As yet there is no administration re-organized ;
all business and general credit are at a stand.—
At 8 o'clock yesterday evening, while a council
was sitting at the Palais Royal, a large body of
young men, most of them well dressed, rushed
into the court, under the windows of the King,
and vociferated " Long live Poland," " Down
with the Ministers." The National Guards and
companies of the line on duty marched out, the
gates were shut, and the crowd was gradually
pressed by the soldiers into the side-walks, and
then out through the small passages. While this
operation was performing, bands of people, mostly
in working dresses, were shouting the Parisienne
and Marseilloise ; but the young men who were
well dressed, and who seemed to be chiefly stu-
dents, confined their bawling to cries in favour of
Poland, and against the Ministry.
Shortly after the Palais Royal was cleared, very
strong picquets, in fact whole regiments of cavalry,
paraded the adjoining streets, the quays, and the
neighbourhood of the exchange; they sometimes
drove at a gentle trot, but the crowds every where
yielded without violence. In the rue Vivienne,
where there was a good retreat at hand, through
the passages, I observed several well-dressed young
men form for a moment in the middle of the street,
and call on the people to maintain their ground,
exclaiming, " Are we to be trampled upon for a
manifestation of opinion, and that in favour of the
heroic Poles ?"

The people on the pathways loudly shousod.
" Long live Poland ;" and from what I sow .1
the nods and assenting gesture of the cavalry and
infantry as they moved through the crowd, it was
easy to believe that the popular cry was responded
to by the military. As French crowds always
break into small eddying circles, it was curious to
listen to the extravagant gossip in which spokes-
men indulged. I beard one of them insisting that
France had now 1,500,000 men under arms, and
ought to save Poland.
The French Government are said to have been apprised
of the existence, for nearly three months, of a dark and
treacherous conspiracy, in which Holland Is supported and
Instigated by hunk and Russia, to embroil France and Rag-
land in the adjustment of the affairs of Belgians. I know
that, at a very early hour this morning, Baron Pagel, the
Dutch Minister, was in close conclave with Geo. Sebastiani,
and that the latter, after the interview, went direct to the
Palace. I also learn that, for several days, Marshal Souk
has been very active in pointing the march of Flash troops
towards the line of the frontier. Indeed, one French regi-
ment h said to have actually passed it, but amp% siismke.

At 10 o'clock this morning the King held &no.'
ther council at the Palais Royal, upon the subject
of the formation of a new ministry, which sat for
nearly three hours. This council was attended by
the whole of the ministers of the Casimir Perier

administration. Count Mole was also there. Owing
to the urgency of the despatches of last night from
Brussels, it was unanimously determined by the
ministry, to retain office until after the address,
which will probably be discussed on Saturday.
The publication of this intelligence necessarily
depressed the funds, the commercial impression
being, that the King of Holland would never pro-
voke this contest, were he not secretly backed by
Prussia and Russia. The effect upon the people
of the " movement" by this news is, of course, ea-
thasiastic. They look upon it as the re-action of
public opinion to restore the French interests in
Belgium, and to cause a diversion in favour of glo-
rious Poland. All ere also are here turned upon
the movements of Sir Edward Codrington's fleet,
and the steps to be taken by the British Cabinet
upon this intimation of the march of the French
army into Belgium.
Generals Excelmans, Lamarque and wend
other distinguished officers, have made a tender of
their services.

The Gazette d'Etat of Berlin of the 29th, has
arrived ; but without any decisive news from the
seat of war in Poland. The cholera iambus is,
however, making frightful ravages; it is increas-

Grandenz, and Elbing.

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.

PARIS, AUG. 4.--At half-put nine o'clock this
night, hostilities, it appears, are to recommence
between the Dutch and the Belgians. The French
troops have orders to march immediately to the
support of the latter. Such is the amount of a
laconic postscript, and (dated half-past 11 o'clock
last night) published In the Journal des Debate of
this day, and which has ahead y (nine o'clock,
a.m.) thrown all persons into a ferment.
Recollecting the series of unworthy tricks prac-
tised on the public mind within the last 10 or 12
days, it is impossible without an abandanosat of
all reasonable caution, to credit all at once the ob-

is said to be, whether truly or falsely I cannot say,
"/a pair, route qui mute." Now, although there
are in the Chamber more than a sufficiency of ia.
dividuals who concur in this, or would conct:r in Inv
other sentiments of the King, yet eympathy ,oiancy
acquiesce nce, do not comprise the requisite qualities
for a Minister. To secure men competent to bu-
siness, and yet with opinions in unison with tali
own, has been found impossible on this occasion
by Louis Philippe. Overtures were therefore made
to the cote gauche, but coupled with provisions and
stipulations w hit* that party rejected, convinced,
whether correctly or incorrectly, that at no distant
day the King must throw himself into their arms.
From a circumstance just now communicated to
me I am inclined to believe that the composition of
the new ministry will be left to Marshal &ult. A
" rather liberal" ministry will, probably, be the
work of the marshal, and, with a war to occupy the
Public mind, such a Government might get on;
but without a war no species of ministry, other
than decided, could maintain itself during a month.
No decided ministry will be at this instant ap-
pointed, and, coupled with the extravagancies of a
Chamber which, on the same day, elects Dupont de
l'Eure and rejects Lafitte, which chooses Alexander
Delaborde, Real, and Portalis, almost in the same
breath with Dupla (the elder), Delessert, and
Cunin-Gridaine, promises a new succession of
weaknesses, inconsistencies, and tumults.
We have had some scenes in Paris on each of
the last two evenings. Crowds collected round
the pavilions in the garden of the Palais Royal, at
which the journals are lent, in order to ascertain
the latest news, and then to resolve themselves, as
on all former occasions of excitement, into clubs
or groups. Poland—devoted Poland—was the
theme of all. " Our Ministers have betrayed the
Poles—betrayed us !" " Poland for ever!"
" War with Russia !" " Death to the Rus-
sians !" " Down with the Ministers !" " To
the Palais !" were the commentaries and the
exclamations of the readers, and they ran
down the garden, and into the court-yard of the
Palais, to entertain the King with a repetition of
them. On each occasion they were with some dif-
ficulty expelled the Court-yard, and not without
blows that will lead to mischief. Last night,
shortly after 10 o'clock, the garden itself was
cleared, and the grilles closed. Thus ejected, the
erowds formed in the Rues Montansier, Valois,
Vivienne, and Neuve des Petits Champs, but
were forced close to the walls at each side by
charges of cavalry. The performance closed with
the Marseilloise and the Parisienne chaunted
most infernally.
The impression produced by the second edition of
the Aloniteur, upon 'Change, and among bankers,
deputies, diplomatists, journalists--in fins, among
all classes of men competent to form opinions, is the
same—namely, that a general war is inevitable.—
Troops have already marched from Paris towards
the north. Marshal Girard will have reached
Belgium to-morrow. He will have under his com-
mand, in the first instance, an army of 40,000
men. This event has been long foreseen by the
French government. An army of the amount just
mentioned can be assembled within a very few days.
Ample supplies of every description have been stored
in the fortresses on the French northern frontier.
The French party is still strong in Belgium. If
it declare for France, now or ultimately, the King
of the French DARR NOT again reject their offered
fraternity. If, on the other hand, this be really a
step, taken independently by the French Govern-
ment, Prussia and Austria will disapprove of the
interference of the French, and then will an open
rupture take place. The best-informed persons
yesterday believed a war to be unlikely, even were
the cote gauche to have the reins of Government
placed in their hands ; and no party here is in-
clined for a war that would embroil France with
England : but here is an event left by us com-
pletely out of contemplation.
You will perceive that the Perier administration
is to remain in power until after the address in an-
swer to the King's speech shall have been discussed
and agreed to. If, uis probable, a strong majo-
rity of the Chamber shall approve of the views, and
pledge itself to support the system of that ministry,
M. Perier and his friends will remain in power, but
will, no doubt, be modified. _ .

Ton Low, Jima' 26.—The Eclipse brig, Lieu*
tenant An;onx, arrived yesterday from Navin,
from which place it sailed on the lit; it bad on
board some Italian refugees. It brought some de-
spatches, which were delivered buttell to the
Prefect of the Marine. It seems that the Govern-
ment of Count Capo d'lstrias is daily rowing
weaker, from the effects of the insurrection ; and
it will probably fall entirely, unless it receives
speedy succour. It is said that General Schneider
has asked the French Government for an additional
number of troops.
Three hundred men have already been sent on
board the Rhone transport ; these men are drafted
from the 3d battalion of the 21st Regiment of
Light Infantry, which is here to reconnoitre.
The same batallion will, in a few days, land 300
men more.

PA 11111.; AUG. 1.--Unpleasant news respecting
the situation of our army at Algiers has been cir-
culated on 'Change. It was said that the model
farm had been burnt, and that the city was closely
invested by the Arabs, in order to reduce it. Ge-
neral Berthezine is said to have ordered a sally of
the garrison at different points.
