EXTRACTS FROM THE JOURNALS.

Electors, if you would neither have the Republic
nor Bankruptcy, nor the ruin of agriculture and
commerce, discard the intriguants ; only vote for
the Deputies whom you know to be the enemiesof
disorder; and the same as you remained faithful
to the Emperor Napoleon, because you made him
yourselves, remain faithful and defend the King of
the French, whom you have named his successor
in the midst of the fire of grape shot and the bar-
ri ales of the French people.—LaFranceNouvelle.
This evening a report was spread that the Con-
gress had refused the propositions by a considera-
ble majority. Government had, it was said, re-
ceived the intelligence by telegraph. If the re-
p ilt is prematurely announced, it is at least infi-
nitely probable. The force of things never re-

POSEN, JUNE 24.- Our Journal announces
that tho Russians have passed the Vistula at
Wloclawek, a small city, which, as well as save•
ral villages, was reduced to ashes. The Russians
occupy the borders of the Vistula unto Thorn.
Ti.e Quarter-General of the Generalissimo, who
had hastened to encounter them, was at Soehac-
zew.

VIENNA, JUNE 24.—Since yesterday there is
more uneasiness than ever upon the propagation of
the Cholera Morbus, for it has crossed the first
line of the Cordon Sanitaire, and has shown itself
on this side. It has been in consequence ordained
to remove the first line from the river San, and to
establish it upon Wislock. Every precaution has
ben taken in case the disease should reach the
capital.—Gazette Universelle d'Angsburg.
They write from Berlin—The specific of Dr.
Leo against the cholera morbus is employed at this
moment by our physicians at Dantzic from the invi-
tation of the government; we shall learn in a short
time whether this means so much boasted by the
Polish authorities, will have had any decided re-
sult. If that hope is realised, the inventor in
rendering so eminent a service to mankind, will
have acquired an immortal glory. He is the son
of a Jew merchant of this city. The friendly re-
lations which had since his infancy existed with
Count Ledochowski, the present commander of
Modlin, led him to Warsaw after that he had com-
pleted his medical studies, and he has practised
there as a physician for some years.—Gazette
d' A ugsbourg.
The month of July is a month for revolutions and
battles—the greatest revolutions which have shaken
Europe and the world have taken place in the
month of July. On the 14th of July, 1775, the
revolution of the United States of America. On
the 14th of July, 1789, was the first marked event
of the French Revolution. It is from the month of
July, 1581, that is dated the revolution of the
United Provinces. On the 27th of July, 1830,
the second French Revolution was accomplished.
On the Bth of July, 1397, the revolution, operated
by the union of Calmar, placed three crowns upon
the head of the Semiramis of the north, Margaret
of Waldemar. On the 9th of July, 1762, the other
Semiramis of the north, Catherine, chased her hus-
band from the throne, and began her reign by a
crime. Of all the months of the calendar, it is
perhaps the month of July during which has taken
place the greate number of decisive battles The
battle of Allica, which took place on the 18th of
July, put Rome in jeopardy. The battle of Tibe-
riade, which was fought on the 3d of July, caused
the kingdom of Jerusalem to fall into the power of
the Infidels, and precipitated the unfortunate Lu-
signan from the throne. On the 25th of July, the
battle of Ourigna drove the Moors from Portugal,
arid rendered Alphonse I. master of that kingdom.
The hopes of James 11. were ruined by the battle
of the Boyne, fought on the 21st of July. It as-
sured to the Prince of Orange the possession
of his crown. On the Bth of July, the battle
of Pultawa overthrew the power of Charles
XII. Bing of Sweden, and prepared the all-
powerful Peter the Great. On the 22d of July,
Charles Martel gained over the Saracens the battle
lof Poitiers, which delivered France from the Ma-
hometan yoke, ready to crush it. At the end of
the war of the succession, Marshal Villars gained,
on the 25th of July, that battle of Denain, which
rendered lustre to the arms of Louis XIV. so long
faded by numerous reverses, which had followed
astonishing victories. The battles of Foronovo,
Fleurus, Nerwinde, and Lawfeldt, where French
valour remained victorious, were fought in the
month of July. On the 241 of July, Conde and
Turenne fought at the gates of Parts, and the
faubourg Saint Antoine.
On the same day, Napoleon took Alexandria by
assault. The battle of Aboukir was on the 3d of
July, 1199 ; that of the Pyramids, on the 25th
of July, 1798. The battle of Wagram, of which
the results were so important, took place at the
same period. On the 27th of July, 1780, Ro-
biespierre and Marat raised against the National
Assembly and the Court, the population of Paris.
On the 28th of July, 1793, Roberspierre, con-
demned to death by his colleagues, mounted upon
the scaffold. In fact, it was during the month of
July that the Regency of Algiers, conquered by
the arms of France, paid the price of long insults of
which those pirates had been so prodigal to Chris-
tians.— Quotidienne.

The first number of a Journal published by the
Society des Amis du Peuple was seized on Friday.
Search is said to have been made at the houses of
such members of that Society as were concerned
in the publication.
The Memorial Bordelais contains the following
extract of a private letter from St. Pierre, Mar-
tinique, dated May 21 : " The sentence of death
pronounced by the Court of Assizes upon twenty-
six persons implicated in the conspiracy which
broke out in the night of February 9 has
been executed upon twenty-two of them. Two
have received the King's pardon, and two declared
at the foot of the gibbet that they had important
discoveries to make. Those who suffered went
to their fate uttering the most horrid imprecations,
shouting " Vive la liberte ! " calling upon the
people to rebel, and declaring that their only regret
vas that they had failed in their plans. They re-

jetted with insults all interference of the priest-
hood. It appears that among other important re-
vblations made, a depot of arms has been revealed,
in a hole dug in the ground, not far from the
town.—Galignani.
Le Temps.—Poland and Belgium have saved
France, which, but for them, would have been at-
tacked and taken by surprise. We have given up
the one to England; what have we done for the
other P

La Qaotidienne says, that the most remarkable
fact in the late journey of the King is, that if all
the addresses presented to him be examined, it will
be found that they are mere variations and amplifi-
cations of the single sentence " we are suffering."
All are ngreed that the revolution of July was a
great and glorious revolution ; but it does, neverthe-
less, happen, that the fruits of this golden age have
been distress, misery, and privation in etery branch
of commerce and industry. The King replied by
common-place exhortations to patience, and assur-
ances that he would do all in his power to relieve
the suffering ; but he must be aware that the evil
is beyond his power of remedying. The men of
the revolution will say to the Government, give us
satisfaction, and we will stop our headlong course.
Government says to the men of the revolution—
stop first, and you shall have satisfaction. The
country awaits the result ; but it may be expected
that the party of anarchy will not be the first to
give way.

GERMAN PAPERS.
(RECEIVED THIS DAY.)

ALExasnat I, Aram 16.—(From Me Cour-
rier de Smyrne.)—lbrahim Pacha, the son of the
Viceroy, has been here for some days past. The
chief motive of his visit was the expected arrival
of the fleet of the Cnpitan Pacha in our port. It
is said that the Admiral of the Porte is to confer with
the Viceroy on the measures to be taken for organising
the different provinces of the empire now under the
government of the rebellious pachas. This relates
chiefly to the Pachalik of Bagdad, against which
Mahomet Ali has received orders to send 8,000 of
his troops. The Viceroy will receive the Capitan
Pacha in his palace at Schubra, where preparations
are already making for his accommodation. Every
body is curious to see Halil Pacha, who has a great
reputation for his talents and polished manners.

Great levies are making in Egypt, which causes
a considerable emigration among the Arabian corn-
,try people, who endeavour as much as possible to
escape from the necessity of becoming soldiers.
A second ship of the line will be soon launched.
Another, of a hundred and twenty guns, is
just put on the stocks : the great object of the
Viceroy is the increase of his navy. The land
troops now stationed between Cairo and Alexan-
dria, are estimated at 50,000 men, namely, 40,000
infantry, and 10,000 cavalry. The Viceroy has
lately formed a guard of honour of 1000 men.
There are besides some regiments scattered in
Russian Upper Egypt, and 8000 men in garrison
in Candia.

Thus Mehemet Ali's army amounts to about
70,000 men, and his navy increased with incredi-
ble rapidity.
ALEXANDRIA, April 19.—A1l the Franks here
have been in the greatest embarrassment for above
a fortnight, because not a single Italian or French
ship had arrived for a month, which is particularly
strange at this season of the year, when many
vessels might find freights; the ships of Trieste, and
other Italian ports, at anchor here, have been afraid
of putting to sea, because this uncommon suspen-
sion of all arrivals gave rise to a notion of a war
between Austria and France. At length, the day
before yesterday, a French man of war was des-
cried, and the sight of the tri-coloured flag was a
subject of great joy. It was soon learnt that it
brought secret despatches for the French Consul.
General An. Minet (qy. Minaut,) is at Cairo,
where he has lived fir some months quite away
from all other Consuls. A Courier was imme-
diately dispatched to him by the Vice-Consul.
A Courier, on a dromedary, requires only 24 hours
to go to Cairo, but on foot, or on an ass, three or four
days. A report is now spread here that the
Consul has received from his Government instruc-
tions to persuade the Pacha, by all sorts of pro
mises, among others that of giving up Algiers to
him, to support the Porte with his whole force in
case of a war with Russia. Ido not give much
credit to this tmauthenticated report, which has
some appearance of probability,only from a circum-
stance that a part of the Paella's troops that were
to march to-day for Syria, has received counter-
uil‘".4. It seems that an expedition is to be un-
dertaken against tt.. P.AIR of St. Jean d'Acre,
who refuses to pay tribute to the 3 ult.: the
Sultan, it is said, has given the Pachalit
to Mehemet Ali, who intends to go with
20,000 men to displace that Pacha. The
issue of this expedition is nct doubtful, as the
Pacha of St. Jean d'Acre has not above 5,000
men, and not a single man of war fit for service.
But another question is, whether the Sultan will
not one day demand back all their provinces ; for
otherwise Mehemet would be master of the greater
part of the Turkish empire. Candia is wholly sub-
dued, and governed entirely in the European man-
ner. In Senaar the towns are conquered, but the
inhabitants of the villages fight bravely for their in-
dependence: the climate, too, is in their favour,
for almost all the Egyptians sent thither die,
and the regiments of that country must be
composed entirely of natives. The conquest of the
country has alreadycost above 10,000 men,but what
does that signify, if the annual assignments of gum
and elephants' teeth do but come regularly : new
soldiers may always be got together from the vil-
lages. In January disturbances took place in se-
veral parts of Senaar, and a physician from that
country assures me that the troops in garrison there
are in danger of being wholly destroyed, if they
do not soon receive reinforcements. Ibrahim Pacha
is still here, and often drives in a little cabriolet to
the quarters of the Franks. We have had heavy
rains for three days, which is extremely rare in this
month, as that persons who have lived here forty
years do not remember one instance of it.--All-
genteine Zeitung, July 2.

LONDON.

FRIDAY. JULY 8.

The accounts from Poland are interesting. It ap-
pears that the Poles have taken Lublin and Siedlic;
and that in the neighbourhood of Lublin, there bas
been some hard fighting. In the first Instance, a
Polish General, Tarno, was defeated, owing to
others playing the part of Grouchy at Waterloo,
listening to the battle, instead of advancing to take
part in it; but in this case the traitors have beta
arrested. Subsequently, Cuusrswowsxt took
Lublin, and the Warsaw Gazette briefly quoted on
such a point by that of Prussia, states that
Rndiger has been defeated with the loss of 6000
prisoners and 8 pieces of cannon. This, if true,
would amount to an annihilation of his army, and
be productive of very important consequences
in the South of Poland.

In the north a murderous war is continued, and
the Russians appear to be shut up in Vilna and
Schwale, and surrounded by the Poles :of various
arms; but other accounts represent Gilegud and
Cblapowski as being beaten and in difficulties.
According to Russian returns, their whole army
now left in Poland amounts, in round numbers,
only to 87,000 men, in four or five armies ; and if
we deduct sick and wounded, and incomplete re-
giments, we may presume that the effective force
is reduced to 60,000. Yet we know from un-
questionable sources, that not only had all regular
troops been sent into Poland, but the marines, and
the very crews of the men-of-war at Cronstadt.
The results are not allowed to transpire
at St. Petersburgh ; but the Emperor is
so impassioned that be declares, if any foreign
power interfere to assist the Poles, he will
call out five out of every six men in his dominions.
In the meanwhile, it affords us pleasure to state,
on good authority, that the Prussians in their ver-
sions are the same as they are in their neutrality,
plus &Litre que jamais. Private letters from
Warsaw, up to the 28th ult. give good accounts up
to that day from all quarters, even from Lithuania.

In the House of Lords, last night, Lord Wu AIRN
CUM exposed, with feeling and eloquence, the
miaaries and injuries of the Truck System ; in
which he was supported by the Bishop of Roc HES-
TER, Lord AUCKLAND, Lord GODERICH, and the
LORD CHANCELLOR. His Bill to put an end to
it was read a second time.

We are sorry to say, that Lord WI NCHELBEA'S
Bill was opposed by Lords WYNTORD, LANS-
DOWNE, SALISBURY, MELBOURNE, and GREY,
the Bishop of LONDON, and the Dukes of Ricu-
lIOND and WELLINGTON— SO that he consented
to withdraw it—and no measure of direct relief to
the Labourers is in consequence before Parliament.
The Irish Lord Lieutenant's Bill passed through
a Committee.

In other columns we have given the names of
the division on the Reform Question. Nine paired
off, and this 18, and with 4 Tellers, made the
number who voted 621. Twenty-four were itbs
sent, and eight were double returns, and thus
have died since the Election.

The proceedings at Guildhall yesterday may be
regarded either as a trial of Mr. Conn ETT, instituted
by the Whig Administration, or as a trial of the
Wbig Administration,conducted by Mr. CODB ETT.
In this respect it will be ever-memorable. Out
opinions about causes and effects, wrongs and re-
medies, prosecution and punishment, in place
of enquiry and redress—and above all of the
Special Commissions of January and February
last—have been so often repressed, that the portion
of the public, who think with the STAR, will con
template this judicial transaction with intense in-
terest. Of course we thought, that the true and
rational way of putting an end to riots and animad-
versions, was to correct the evils created by a long
course of mal-administration ; and we thought the
sufferers entitled to the peculiar sympathy of the
new Ministry, who came into power with the pro-
fessed design to ameliorate and reform.

We can easily suppose that the policy of half
a century was so knitted together, and so upheld
in every department, by usages, precedents, and
ojudices, that it was no easy task to change
an irksome and oppressive system into a kind
and liberal one, and so far the Whig Ministers
had a valid apology for temporary inconsistency
of practice and principle t but it would be a
Cabinet measure, either to issue a proclamation
appeasing by promises of inquiry and redress, or
one threatening legal severities, and silent as to
relief: and so also it would be no subaltern mea-
sure to send out special commissions, as against
abstract crime, instead of commissions to enquire
and tender redress. Either system might have re-
stored the peace of the country; but we conceive
there will be no doubt as to the course which best
befitted liberal principles, and a Whig Ministry,
liberal par excellence, and whose professions of
liberality constituted their claim on the hopes and
affections of the people.
This discrepancy then between practices and
principles was the foundation of many observations
in this paper, while those Special Commissions
were working; and it was also the immediate
MUM of those strictures of Mr. COBRaTT, in
which in his own peculiar manner, be advocated
the cause of the oppressed labourers, and
!reigned the neglect of their condition on

the punishments preferred by the Governe)(...
We thought at the time, and we think still, eiut
the proceedings were harsh, unwise, and iti
some instances cruel ; and it would ago,d
ns pleasure tomes the defence of them, which wi
doubt not by some species of logic the liherc
members of the administration can offer : but the
arguments ought to be very strong which would
justify the preference of the course adopted by a
liberal administration, in preference to the ours,

which liberality points out. This, then, was th,
origin of the writings of Mr. COBBETT, Which
Government judged it dangerous to tolerate, and
proceeding, by the constitutional mode of indict.
went, was adopted by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL.
It is certainly a singular mutation to behold
the same gentleman, one day presiding at a U.
versity specially established to promote free en

quiry, and the second day after, performing aht
functions of a public prosecutor of the press. We
can however conceive the difference between ua.
and abuse, and that Loth positions may be recoil
disable ; but the circumstances ought to be sue!,
as admitted little difference of opinion. Nor Bras
it less singular to see the Prime Ministers of ou;
Political and legal Govemment,and the chief Secre

tart' of State, brought to issue with the accused.
and reserving their evidence under the etiquette of
of office. The liberality of the CHatect.taet
placed him in a very awkward predicament, for Le
had been but recently a volunteer in propagating
and sanctioning the writings of Mr. COBBETT on
the very subject which constituted the subject of
this State prosecution. No doubt in a long course
of advocacy, passages might be selected, which,
taken alone, might be indictable ; but we should
never regard such selection as fair or logical, and
happily we now enjoy the benefit of Mr. Fox's
Bill, and of the intelligence of Juries.

At the same time, we can quote our own prat.
lice in proof, that vituperation is not to our taste;
but every man has his own manner, while in such
things the final appeal is to the public. We are
sorry that on this subject the government en-
tangled itself in a controversy. It has dont
much good, and will, we have no doubt, do
much more; but we always thought it neg-
lectful in not doing what was possible for the
agricultural community, and in error in its special
commmissions and its inflictions of plain law ; for it
was giving the people a stone when they were
merely asking for bread, after the manner in which
all history shews that a distressed population pro-
ceed in similar cues.

The Jury retired to consider their verdict at six
o'clock last evening—they continued in debate all
night—and, as we have mentioned at the conclu-
sion of our report, at eight o'clock this morning
the Jury declared they were not agreed—nor was
it possible they could come to a conclusion, one
way or the other. Lord TENTERDEN then said—
" GENTLEMEN, you are discharged."

Yesterday evening, at ten o'clock, a Cabinet
Council was held at the Foreign Office, in Downing-
street. The Council was attended by all the Cali-
net Ministers, who sat in deliberation till after one
o'clock this mornimg.
This afternoon the KING, accompanied by se-
veral members of the Royal Family, in three dif-
ferent carriages, left St. James's Palace on their
way to a public breakfast given by Lord FARS-
BOUOUGH, at his seat at Bromley-hill, in Kent, to
his MAJESTY, the Ro3al Family, &c. &c.

In the Foreign Market nothing doing as yet.

Consols, which were in the early part of tits
morning at 821 for the Account; are at present
82 4, with little doing: the depression of the
market is owing to some sales of money stock. In
the Foreign Market little or nothing doing.
A member of parliament arrived last night from
Paris, who positively asserts that Vilna bas been
captured by Gielgud's army ; and that the French
Government has sent a remonstrance to Russia,
insisting that Poland must be put on the same
footing as in the year 1814.

Our City correspondent says—" We are ex-
ceedingly sorry to state that letters are in town
from Berlin, bringing accounts of the total defeat
of General Gielgud's army, by the Russian Gene-
ral, Tolstory, and that the revolution in Lithuania
is at an end.

A letter from Warsaw states : At present all
attention is towards the Palatinate of Plock.
Some Russian Regiments of Infantry have al-
ready passed the Vistula. The Generalissimo
has, echelonne, a part of his troops between Mod-
lin and Praga, and a general battle is soon ex•
expected. The escape of Rudiger's division is at-
tributed to the capture of three Aid-de-Camps sent
by the General-in-Chief with dispatches to three
of the Polish Generals. The third Aid-de-Camp i
suffered himself to be killed, as he would not give
up his papers.
Letters from Spain state, that the Duchess de
Berry has appointed a Council of Ministers for the i
Regency of Henry .5, composed of Blacas, How- 1
els, and Montbel. The Council is in communica-

tion with the Catholic congregations and associ-
ations, who are charged to organise a civil war in
the departments of the south and east of France,
and a legion is forming on the other side of the
Pyrenees, of emigrants and Chonans, and of of-
ficers of the student government of France.
