FOREIGN I4VTELLIGENCE.

(PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.)
PA ais, OCT. I.—Various reports have been
afloat for the last two days, respecting a change in
the Ministry, that M. Sebastiani had given in his
resignation, and that he was to be succeeded by
general Guilleminot, the late Ambassador at Con-
stantinople. There is no truth, howevcr, in any
of the rumours. The Aiinistry appears to be as
compact as ever, although there are petitions pour-
ing in from all the departments of France to the
Chamber of Deputies, numerously signed, calling
upon the Chamber to put the Ministry in accusa-
tion, and especially the President of the Council,
and the Minister for Foreign Affairs, for the shame-
ful position in which their policy has placed France.
, The spirit of the Parisians appears to be spread-
iog more than ever into the Departments. At
Strasburg, very serious troubles have taken place.
On the 25th, upwards of 300 of the National
Guards left the city armed, for the purpose of fa-
cilitating the entry of some foreign cattle w;thout
its subject to the ordinary tax on entry, amounting
to 70 francs per head. The authority having
warning of the movement, eight hundred troops of
the light infantry, supported with two pieces of
cannon, were drawn up before the Bureau of

the Customs. Some energetic words addressed
to the National Guards, and those who bad
joined them, by the commander of the troops, in-
duced them to retire. But on re-entering the city
they had a discussion with the Mayor and the
Prifect, upon a variety of questions of political
economy, and although they felt convinced that
it was not exactly the legal way to procure a
reduction of taxation by taking up arms, and
the assembly shewing no great disposition to
disperse, the Prefect announced, upon his own
responsibility, that a moiety of the tariff should be
reduced, that very day, and he engaged them all to
sign a petition at the Maine to demand the sanc-
tion of that reduction, and to obtain a greater, if
possible: The consequence of this reduction in
the tarifovas en immediate meeting of the butchers
of Strasbourg, in which they agreed to reduce the
.'
price of meat from sd. to 44d. a pound. although
the reduction of only half of the tax would not
permit such a diminution of price, but that they
had the certainty that the whole tax would be taken
off, and That they should be indemnified for their
oases. The butchers have reckoned without their
host, for the Prefect has been dismissed for taking
upon himself the responsibility of tampering with the
mob; the Ilfoniteur of this morning announces that
as soon as the Government had knowledge of the
events at Strasburg, orders were sent for the whole
of the duty to be exacted upon the entrance of
cattle: and that a telegraphic despatch, arrived in
the evening, announced that these orders bad been
put in execution, without the tranquillity haring
been disturbed on any point. A day or two will
give us more light upon the affair.
At Orange, Perpignan, and various other places,
armed interference has been opposed to the gather-
ing the tales of entry, and generally throughout
France there seems a disposition to resist the taxes.
There has been a gat stir this week respecting
the Press. lj has stated that M. Casimir
Perier, was much inclined to cite at the bar some
of the opposition journals, but was advised against
it. Seizures, however, have taken place at a rapid
rate ; but it only gives additional point to the papers
of the opposition. The Caricature was seized be-
fore its publication.

CIA MBER OF DEPUTIES, Oct. 1.
The order of the day was the continuation of the pre.
parawry disco/Sion of the project of law for the reomanisa.
than of the Peerage, bui. the Deputies not being in num.
ber, M. Mallet was stalled upon to present a report
of various petitions. TLe most remarkable were those
of several litr•llnd inhabitants of Paris, Clermont, and
other totms of France, begging of the Chamber to
interfere in favour of P..tand ; and another from
Lyons, prayinj that the Poles should be admitted
in the ranks of the French army, and treated as
French Miens. The reporter said the those petitions were
forwarded before the catastrophe of Warsaw was known;
ma that, :ltheugh little hope remains of Poland being .ble
to tongues her nationality, yet the comntiesionen considered
It expedient to refer the petitions to the President of the
Council.

Geueral LAFAYLTTC-4 jell) with all my heart in the
sentiments expressed by the reporter of your commission.
I nevertheless remarked some expressions which induced me
to speak at the question. It Is not exact to consider the
Polish cause as entirely lost. However deplorable the ca-
ltastroike of liana, may be, their still remains a nation full
of patriotism, sod an amiable army, to which the Nations'
Government has rallied. We should then endeavour to en-
couraste the sympathy still existing in favour of Poland,
and to assist in the energeticel efforts which all France ea.
pests from the Minister of Foreign Affairs in favour of that
country.
SITTINO OF SM. 50.—The President of the Council,
in rising to make a communication from the government,
said, tha, within a few year many foreigners had been
;riven Ity political events to take refuge in France. Their
distress (tau excited the munificence of the country. The
first Spanish refugees, banished from their country for hay.
Ins belonjec: or the French party, received relief from the
Minister of I:12 Interior. In 1823, other refugees laving
fled to France, r. special grant of 610,0001. was made foe
their Thlg grant was renewed in 1820 and 1830. In
1831 he •lumlter had greatly lammed ; and at thismonsent,
brdcper,lent of the Foreign Legion, no fewer than 6,300
proscribed Refugees were receiving Hell The Mi-
Wiwi then pointed out most distinctly that it was
upon the principle of humanity, and not upot that of policy,
that succour was afforded to them. He protested before-
hand asninst any Interpretation that would give a political
characte: ;o the measure, rot these foreigners must be pre.
vented imagining that they had rights which might lead to
consequences Asegreeable to France. FrallCe was the coon.'
try of Frenchmen alone; it was not, as had been said, .11.1-
glan, Italian, and Spanish, but Freneb—(strong sensation).
t had not taken upon itself the wrong of protecting any pro-
povanda whatever. France was doing for these refugees
what every intlivklual Frenchman would be induced to do.
The refugees, on their side, ought to respect the rites of
tospiadity. This pain. was the more to be insisted on, a%
the conduct of some of the refugees had rendered severe pre.
cautions necessary. In the recent disturbances at Paris and
at Perpignso‘ some oi these refugees had been arrested
among the agitators. From the good conduct of these
strangers in the mass, and the prompt restoration of order in
their country, the gradual redudior of the burden upon
France was to le-hod ed for. France would always support
them in their desire o; again seeing their homes. As to the
refugees front Romagna; the most happy results bad already
been obtained in their favour. An amnesty had been granted
them upon the thole condition of their taking an oath of elk_
glance, and promising nut to take part In any plot in future,
and to resist every attempt at revolt. Sixty arches* Italians
' had already agreed to these conditions, and twenty had left
France. Such as refused to return home, upon complying
with conditions so simple and easy, would be excluded from
sharing in the succour.
The Minister then presented a Bill for a grant of 600,000
francs, to be made to the Minister of the Interior, in ad-
dition to one million already granted for 1831, to be ap-
plied to the relief of foreigners who arc refugees from poli.
deal causes.

The Prussian State Gazette of the 27th re-
ceived this day by the Dutch Mail, contains a
.-aiserablo slavish document, written by some
Secretary in the Russian army, extolling the cle-
mency of the Autocrat; and he did right to em-
ploy so many words, since there is not a journal-
bit, or public writer in Europe, who would waste
or abuse a single word on the subject. The fel-
low, among ether things, has the audacity to
praise some sneaking Poles, who had forborne to
join their army, and who, in his opinion, had
great credit for betraying their country to a fo-
reign :..espot. We forbear to sully tho columns
of the STAR with such ignominious trash, and
proceed to the little which bears the semblance of
being fact. Their is not a word about Romarino's
emig ation.
It is reported that Prince Adam Czartoryski is
at Cracow. M. Dobieski, Po,t-master of the
kingdom of Poland, has given notice that the
posts and estafettes are restored on all the roads
occupied by the imperial troops.
FRONTIERS OF POLAND, SEPT. 14.—Though
the Russian cabinet had originally the preject of
incorporating the kingdom of Poland to the Empire,
it is still hoped that the Emperor will leave to the
Poles the Constitution which they held from his
brother and his predecessors. The Poles had in-
fallibly preserved their Constitution if they had not
pushed resistance to the last extremity, and if they
bad accepted the propositions of Field Marshal
Paskewitsch. Now things are changed to their
disadvantage. It is said that Warsaw offers a sad
spectacle: the silence of death reigns in the

streets, and there is remarked upon all counts-
nancee the griefs inspired by deceived hopes and
the fears of reactions. However, there has yet,
been no arrests.—Gazette d'Aegsbourg.
BERLIE, SEPT. 20.—A1l the private letters
which arrive from Poland confirm the news that
the national army has not surrendered, and has not
subscribed to the capitulation concluded with the
Russians by General Krukowiecki. That army has
retired, on the contrary, on the other side of Plozk,
along the Prussian frontier. We are ignorant
whether it will cross out frontier, or whether it
will throw itself into Lithuania. General Kruko-
wiecki, after having remitted to the commission in
permanence of the Diet the capitulation of War-
saw, declared to it that he would deposit in its
hands all his functions, and that henceforth he
would conform to the orders of the Diet. That
General having reserved to himself personally the
liberty of egress and ingress, proceeded, 24 hours
after the entry of the Russians into Warsaw, to
the camp of the Polish army, but after having first
an interview with the Field-Marshal, and promising
that he would use all his efforts to induce the army
to subscribe, to the capitulation."—Correspondent
d'Hambourg.
WA RBA IV, SEPT. 19 —The Universal Gazette,
of to-day (lately the Universal State Gazette)
contains the following official article :
" His Excelleney the Commander-in-Chief,
Field-Marshal Count Paskewitsch, has received
intelligence that the corps of Romarino, unable to
pass over to the left bank of the Vistula, has been
totally defeated, and pursued to the frontiers of
Gallicia, whither it fled to lay down its arms. The
remains of this corps consist of 10,000 men, and
40 pieces of cannon. The particulars of this victory
will be published."
CRACOW, SEPT. 18.—The Courier give the
armistice concluded between Generals Rudiger and
Rozyski, in consequence of orders received by them
respectively from Field-Marshal Paskewitsch on
one hand, and General Malachowski, Commander-
in-chief of the Polish army, on the other. The
line of demarcation extends fiom Sulejow op the
Pills* to °poem) (which is neutral), thence to
the Kaminna, and along that river to its mouth ;
twenty-four hours' notice of the cessation of the
armistice to be given on either side, and at the
respective head-quarters in Radom and Siedlic.
The same paper (the Courier of Cracow) gives
an account from the head-quarters of Gen.Rozyzki,
on the 16th, received by express, which says the
corps of General Romarino of 20,000 men, with
40 pieces of cannon, is just crossing the Vistula
at Zawichoet. Yesterday there was fighting the
whole day with Rosen's corps, on the line along
the Vistula from Kasimierz to Rachow. In the
former' Romarino made a detachment of Russian
cavalry prisoners. The troops occupying the tete
du-pont have retreated to this side, and broken
down the bridge behind them. At Josefow the
Russians suffered much loss. It is said we lost
many sharp•shooters at Rybitroy. Colonel Zalew-
ski has just arrived ; his corps is coming through
the woods to join us. Many soldiers from
the hospitals of Warsaw add to our numbers. They
say that there has been fighting near Medlin, and
that many wounded have been brought to Warsaw.
To-day General Rudiger announces the cessation
of the armistice.
SSPT&unEa 20.—The Courier contains the let-
ter of General Rudiger to General Rozyzki, sent
from Radom to Kiele.e on the 15th, in which be
says that Field-Marshal Paskewitsch had informed
him, that Genetal Romarino had refused to accede
to the armistice signed at Warsaw with General
Malachowski, Commander-in-Chief of the Polish
army ; that be had attacked part of his (Rudiger s)
corps, and intended to occupy Kasimiere and
Pulawy. That as Romarino was closely pressed
by Generals Rosen and Kaisaroff, he would pro-
bably attempt to pass to the left bank of the Vis-
tula. General Rudiger was, therefore, obliged to
act against him, and intended to hinder him from
crossing the Vistula ; to do this it would be abso-
lutely necessary to pass the line of demarcation
agreed on between them, and be therefore feels it
his duty to apprise General Rozyski that he may,
if he pleases, recommence hostilities on his part
twenty-four hours after receiving this notification;
but that if :he General prefers to let the armistice
continue, General Rudiger will with the greatest
pleasure fulfil the conditions of it. That no mis-
take may be caused by the delay of the despatch,
General Rudiger adds twelve hours, and announc:
that he shall not commence hostilities against Gen.
Romarino till the expiration of thirty-six hours
after it reaches the outposts. He requests General
Rozyski to inform him officially of his resolution
respecting the armistice.
ITALY.—AII the letters from ItAly agree in say-
ing that a lively agitation continues to reign in
Bologna, and in the Legations generally. The
Austrians, by furnishing arms to the National
Guards of these provinces, have put them in a state
to defend the entry of the Papal troops. It is cer-
tain that the Curt of Austria will see with pies-
sure their emancipation from the authority of th.:
Holy See, not without doubt by interest for the pro-
vinces, but in the hope of finding at a late period
an occasion of succeeding to its Italian possessions,
where Austria attempts to fortify her dominion
more and more. Already, at the Congress of
Vienna, Austria demanded these provinces, but she
obtained then but the privilege of holding garrison I
at Ferrara.—National.

FA ENC•i, Aug. 16.—The following are the pro-
posals made by the three legations of Bologna.
Forli, and Ravenna ; notice thereof has been for-
warded by the deputies to the holy father. " 1.
That no ecclesiastic in the legations shall fill an
administrative and judicial situation. 2. That the
armed force shall, on all occasions, be taken from
the Pontifical troops. 3. The administration of
justice shall not be subjected to the supremacy of
any individual sitting at Rome. 4. The public re-
venues shall be appropriated exclusively for the
provinces. Should the Government, however,
prefer it, the legations will consent to pay every
year into the treasury of the Apostolic Chamber,
80,000 Roman crowns, for the expenses of their
administration, but which, under the apparent di-
rection of the Pontifical authorities, shall be ma-
naged exclusively by agents who are natives and
residents of the provinces. Bologna, the capital
of the legations, shall have, as formerly, an am-
bassador at the Pontifical Court." The Pope,
however, expressed himself unwilling to enter into
any engagement. He wished to have more time
before he sent an answer to the demands of the
!options.
MA Dal D, 8err.22.--The Court still remains

at St. Ildefonso, but will speedily be removed to
Madrid. An ordinance of Ferdinand has en.
joined eight days' mourning for the death of the
Grand Duke Constantine. The news of the fall
of Warsaw has imparted the greatest joy to the
Apostolic*ls. They think it the destruction of the
cause of liberty. The greatest activity prevails in
arming the middle provinces in Biscay and Na.
Terre, so al to have some columns ready to march
at a moment's :nodes.
At the moment of the revolution of July, the
cabinet of the Duke of Wellington and that of
Prince Polignac were upon the point of recognising
Don Miguel. The glorious days of July caused
that project to miscarry, as well as many others.
The regency of Terceira, which has laboured in.
cessantly to augment its forces, charged at the
beginning of this month the Marquis de Palmella,
one of its most distinguished members, to go and
concert with the English Government at London
upon the expedition so long projected against the
usurper of the rights of Donna Maria. In conse-
quence of these conferences, it has been resolved,
between the Cabinets of France and England, that
they would offer no obstacle to that expedi-
tion. The declaration of the Court of Madrid,
which threatens to succour Don Miguel in case
the partisans of the young Queen should not be left
to their own resourses, relaxes in no way the pre-
parations of the Regency, which has at its die
pose! already from 7 to 8,000 regular troops, and
well organised; three frigates, and * sufficient
number of transports, and all the necessary money.
General Saldanha will have the command of these
troops, and Don Pedro will take part in person in
that expedition, which will immediately post from
the Isle of Terceira, and of which the definitive
aim is to place Donna Maria 11. upon the throne of
Portugal, and re-establish the constitution.—Na.
tional.

THE EVENING STAR

LONDON, MONDAY, OCT. 3.
031 Z O'CLOCK. THIS DAT...-Thertnaneeter, 67. Bit.
ranter, 29.72. Weather, fair, and cloudy. Wind S.W.—
Rain last night.

The protracted debates in the Commons, the dou-
ble general election, the oft renewed meetings of
the people in every part of the kingdom, the news-
paper discussions, and the solemn importance of
the subject itself, have conspired altogether to
confer an unparalleled stage-effect on.the denoue-
ment of the reform bill in the House of Lords...-
The suspicion which has always attached to the
public spirit of that assembly, and the
utter impossibility of determining every indi-
vidual vote before-hand, render the actual
division as interesting as the cast of a die, in a
case in which a man's whole fortune is at issue.
We do not believe that the moat sagacious po-
litician in England, in or out of Administration,
can anticipate the actual result of the aggregate
votes of tour hundred and twenty subatantative
persons, in so nicely poised a case. For our parts,
we have always been of opinion, that if at the
last creation, thirty or forty new Peers had been
necessary, instead of twenty, there would have been
no difficulty in making a worthy selection ; and we
therefore presume, on the good faith and con-
sistency of the Cabinet, that they made such an
estimate as at that time assured a majority.—
Nevertheless, the boasting of the adverse faction,
and the acknowledged numbers of those who, from
pride or prejudice, are disposed to thwart the people,
create a painful uncertainty in London, and through
the Nation.

This morning, as well as on Saturday, the
anxiety of the monied interests led to a fall in
public securities, in all II per Cent. and on this
day at noon of Iths. This depression arises from
a confidence in all men of business that the passing
of the Bill is essential at once to the public welfare
and security. The Constitution itself depends on
it ; for the morbid parts have so increased, that a
general dissolution of the body-politic has been
impending, and the Bill alone has afforded rea-
sonable hope of recovery.
In another column we have taken the pains to
collect, from a variety of sources, the rumours
which prevail through the town. They place our
readers in a Pall-mall or Bond-street position, and
enable the distant parts of the empire to discover
the feelings in the best informed London circles.
We can do no more to-day for their gratification;
but we think it proper to state, that whenever the
decision takes place, we will, with that celerity
which always distinguishes our exertions, forward
an extra edition of the STA R by all the first
coaches that leave London, to the great towns,
and especially to persons who do us the honour to
express their wishes.

The LORD CHANCELLOR having disposed of
all the Scotch Appeals ready for hearing, pro-
ceeded this morning. assisted by the Marquis of
CHOLMONDELEY and Lord HOWARD of EF-
Flxosam, to hear arguments in the English

Lord HUNTINGDON, and Lord CLIFFORD and

There are no arrests ; compliments instead of re-

had practised justice, their clemency would have
been unnecessary. As, however, the Poles are a
people sui generis, and as the people of France
are petitioning the Chambers in their favour, and

We are grieved to learn, that a similar storm has
taken place at New Orleans as that at Barbadoes.
The weather had been portentous for several

but on Saturday morning, the 16th, the
>torrn had commenced, and continued with little
interruption until the next day at night....
it was not a sudden hurricane. It has, however,
been but too destructive, particularly to the plan-
lors. The suburbs and outskirts have suffered
much in loss of fences, trees, &c. the crops in-
jured to an immense amount ; the lake has swollen
ao as to inundate the whole of the rear of the city:
and the shipping have generally suffered.

A letter from a very highly respectable Gentle-
man of Demerary, to a werchant in the City of
equal respectability, has been sent to us. For the
present we have not given the names of these
responsible persons : the letter, however,will speak
for itself. It will be seen that the important
Constitutionel question, whether the Crown has
any prerogative to govern the immense colonies
ceded to Great Britain at the last peace, by Orders
;a Council, instead of extending► to them the be-
nefits of the English Constitution, and the pro-
tect'on of the laws of England, is fairly at issue.
A majority of the Court of Demeter), have
decided against the legality of these Orders in
Council, in opposition to the commands of the
General, Sir Benjamin D'Urban, and Mr. Wray,
the Chief Justice. The consequence is, that the
colony is thrown into the greatest confusion, and
the whole judicature of the country suspended.
The letter, of course, will deeply interest all our
colonial readers :

DIMERAST, JOLT 28, 1831.

We have all here been in troubled agitation. Our Cri-
minial Court held its ordinary meeting on the 4th instant;
on the Bth, a Mr. Petrie, manager of the Roiniveld estate,
sal tried, for a breach ef the late " Order in Council."—
Mr. John Smith, as Counsel for Petrie, made the most bril-
liant speech ever bend here ; and in the middle of it, he
threw the whole Court into astonishmmit, by vaumently
averting " that the said Older in Council was not law—no
one could be convicted thereon—and that the King could
not legislate for this Colony." This argument cleared the
Coen, who took Into consideration the point: it was put to
the vote with closed doors, and four Member, voting against
the President and two! declated they concurred with Mr.
Smith, and that " an Order in Council was not law with-
out the authority of the Court of Policy." Whereupon Mr.
Wray, the President of the Court, rase in a great rage,
stmek the table with his fist, and said, " If the (Mee in
Council is not law, there is no law in the country; and if
this vote is persisted in, I will be the instrument of having
martial law proclaimed in a short time !" Upon this
threat, and the violent manner of Mr. Wray, Mr. Koolbcu
(one of the four Members of the Court) got frightened, and
immediately said "he had changed his opinion !" and
thereafter lie voted with the President. The remaining
three (Messrs. Rose, Meertens, and Douglas) stood firm,
and the President dissolved the Court Since that we
have had no Court ; and when, on the 21st instant, the
Court of Policy met, to swear in and proclaim Sir B.
d'Urban as Covernor of British Guiana, Mr. Croal ob-
jected to take his oath as a Member of the British Colima
Court," saying " he was there to represent Demersry and
Essequibo, not British Guiana ;" and further, "disputed
the King's authority to unite the two Colonies, and to issue
Orders in Council as law." To this Mr. Wray (the Pre-
Wdent of the Court—that is, Chief Justice), said to the
Governor, " There is a stranger in Court." Mr. Croal rose
and said, " he was no stranger, but a representative in the
Demerary and Estequibo Court of Policy." To this the
GOVtlllof requested Mr. Croat " to withdraw 1" which, in
:1 violent rage, Croal did !
So matters are at present : we have no Court of Justice—
no Criminal Court—and no Court of Policy ! We are, in
fact, without any law, and every thing is in confusion. Pri.
vate radical meetings are held with security, and some talk
of mobbing old Wrcy. A deputation is on the wing, to re-
port things to his Majesty, and pray for a discharge of
d'Urban and Wray.

We can furni.h no better commentary on the
facts, as stated in the above letter, than by giving
an abstract, to-morrow, from a pamphlet of CLAY-

t: tillltu that he would venture on a poll ; and

Power to recover their lost ground on Monday
tali,' day). Large subscriptions are spoken of in
favour of Lord Ashley, with a view to influence by
this election the ‘!ecision of the House of Lords.—

The numbers polled on Saturday were 449 and
245, affording a gross majority of 176.
In the city to-day, Sir PETER LAUR!II, at two
o'clock, was 102 behind the Lord Mayor, and only
48 a-bead of Ald. TuoaPE. If a supporter of the
reform bill, Sir Peter ought unequivocally, and in
plain terms, to declare himself.

The Funds continue receding. Consols, which

Exchequer Bills have also fallen.
