TH E EVENING STAR.

LONDON.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 29.

Information has reached as from a respectable quarter, that
him Grace the Duke of WELLINGTON is coming into place
RS Commander-in-Chief, and to give his support to the
present Administration. This is stated to have been arranged
on the Noble Duke's recent visit to his MAJESTY. Lord
A RERDEEN is at present with the Duke at Strathfieldsay.

Summonses have this day been issued to the Cabinet
Ministers, commanding their attendance at the Pavilion
in Brighton, on Monday next, for the purpose of holding a
Privy Council ;*and onThureday, thereafter, Lord Ai:molt r
is to bring forward his Plan of Parliamentary Reform before
the House of Commons.

There are private letters in town this day, bringing very
important information from Brussels. It is asserted—and
we give the fact precisely as it has reached us—that
accounts had been received on Thursday evening in Paris,
by telegraph, announcing the display of the ORA NG n colours,
and cockades, in the former city. The only inference to be,
drawn from this intelligence, if correct, is, that ere this
time, a counter-revolution must have taken place. Should
further advices reach us on this subject, we will not fail to
place them before our readers, in another edition.

Our Readers will find in our exclusive extracts from the
French Journals, that public sentiment, as air as they may
be considered the organs of it, is daily, in Paris, becoming
more avowedly in favour of France departing from the line
of non-intervention, to which her Statesmen have puncti-
liously asserted their adherence. The diplomacy of Sr Ras-
TIAN t, which we incidentally referred to yesterday, we have
some reason for apprehending, may be at the present moment,
more Machiavelian than it is generally supposed, or than we
ourselves yesterday were inclined to imagine. We have this
day been favoured with an interpretation of the present French
policy towards Belgium, from an individual in the French
capital, possessing peculiar sources of information, on which
we ere inclined to place some reliance ; although, our
Readers must be well aware, that conjectures on
the secret objects of State policy are too apt, for the gra-
tification of a craving public curiosity, to be ripened pre-
maturely into facts. We never think ourselves committed
in stating to our Readers all we hear. On the contrary.
we think it our duty—always, however, endeavouring to
give our intelligence devoid of all fictitious authorisation.
The information which we have thought it expedient thus to
preface, goes to the extent of attributing an understanding
between the French cabinet, and the directing minds in the
Belgian Congress, by the introduction of Prince ',RUCH..
TEN BERG, to produce a difficulty, only to be obviated in the,
adoption of policy, to which France secretly inclines, but
cannot openly avow.

As the Senatorial Campaign approaches, the subject of
Reform, and probabilities of the battle to he fought upon it,
occupy more and more the public attention. Our Readers
will perceive, by the Spirit of the Journals of to-day, that the
anti-reformists are preparing their forces for the encounter.
We sincerely hope the people will not be backward in giving
their ardent support to the present Administration.—
We believe men more purely intent to effect leers
possible for the people, were never before in power, and
while we freely canvas their measures, we wish to be con-
sidered not less anxious for their maintenance of power.

It seems the Dublin Grand Jury found a Tann Bill
against Mr. O'Connell and his friends; and hence irritation
will unfortunately be kept alive. The decision of a Grand
Jery being that of 12 out of 23, or the number present,
is generally in accordance with the charge of the Judge;
but as we have not received a copy of the Bill itself, we
unmet judge of the charges which they found true. If it
relates only to the alleged conspiracy to end*, and that
new construction of Law of the Dublin Court is deemed
the Law of the Land, then in truth we live in an entirely
New ER A !—We are not instructed as to the Irish Practice
of attaching a Newspaper—we thought the laws of both
countries had been assimilated ; for, thank GOD, News-
papers are not subject to attachments in England. We
have always regarded The Freeman's Jostrnal as one of
the most respectable of the Dublin Papers ; and we have
• lately bad to record many public compliments to its Pro-
prietor. We still hope, and we believe we speak for the
London public, when we express our hopes, that the
soothing will be preferred to the coercive systew, in the
treatment of our sister kingdom.

We congratulate tne citizens of Gloucester on the honour-
able distinction of being foremost in that career of huma-
nity, in which we trust they will be followed by the whole
nation In Our PA NORA M A will be found the abstract of
their petition in regard to certain sentences, which have ex-
cited strong feelings in the public. At the same time, as
friends of Government, we repeat our concern that Minis-
tem should not themselves be first in arreeting or modifying
the execution of laws. passed under general views of crimes,
of which particular cases always demand modification. We
are persuaded the matter follows most of his Majesty's
subjects to their pillows, and therefore merits the anxious
and immediate consideration of the Cabiset.

We have German Papers this morning, from wLich we
give two extracts—ow on the affairs of Poland, and another
