r'OREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.—THIS DAY.
PA►tta, OCT. 10.—We are assured that the
Chamber of Peers, emboldened by the example of
the Peers of England, will reject every project,
coming from the Chamber of Deputies, which
will not grant hereditary right.
The amendment of M. Jay having been rejected
by 324 sgaiast 86, the Chamber will discuss to-
day the amendment of M. Taste. That amend.
ment consists, in two worth, to save the hereditary
by giving it a sot t of electoral sanction; at the
decease of a Peer, his son to succeed him, on the
condition of having his title confirmed by the
electoral colleges of the department to which ho
belongs.
The Chamber decided to-day that it would oc-
cupy it,elf with the question on the hereditary
peerage. Neither precedents nor logic indicated
tbAt proceeding in the deliberation ; but it would
be wrong to believe that the opposition stands for
any thing in that question of priority. The im-
pudence to determine a grave difficulty alone de-
cided the Chambs r. As to the hereditary peerage
it was rejected by a very strong majority. Thus a
question is found decided which passion could not
be prevented from seizing, in spite of their good
will. The five Ministers voted with the majority.
—France Nouvelle.

The question of the hereditary peerage has been
decided as we foresaw and announced, by a rejec-
tion ; but the majority in favour of the non-here-1
ditary has surpassed general expectation. The
enormous scrutiny of 324 black balls against 86
white balls : difference 238. Is it that it was a
revolutionary question, and that it was impossible
that it could be resolved any other than revolu-
tionary by the Chamber of 1831? It results from
that vote, that of 410 voters, 324 have voted
against the ministerial plan, for that plan was and
remains to the end, favourable to the hereditary.—
Thus behold the power of July deprived of that
hereditary Chamber, which its organs had repre-
sented as an indispensible rampart to its existence ;
thus behold the peerage struck to the heart, and
which must decide to vote its own suicide, or to
make a schism with the Chamber of Deputies.—
Quotidienne.

We are assured that the treaty of peace between
Belgium and Holland has been definitely arranged
by the Conference of London, and that it has ad-
judgrd -
to King William Limbourg and nearly
the whole Duchy of Luxembourg. It is added
that that project, which sill leave Belgium with-
out frontiers on the side of Holland, and cause to
disappear, as to France, the advantages which had
been promised from ee neutrality of Belgium, by
I opening Luxembourg to eventual coalition,
already obtained the assent of the Cab.net of the
Palais Royal.—Journal du Commerce.
POI-AN n.—They write from Warsaw, that city
pre.ents the aspect of a vast bivouac; everywhere
advanced posts and patroles. The fortifications of
Warsaw will be rased.—Constitutionnel.

The organization of the kingdom of Poland
is now known. We now publish the ma-
nifesto of the Autocrat, who extends his iron arm
over that unhappy country. Thus, all that terri-
tory named Poland, that land so fruitful in gene-
rous actions, is no more than waiwodies of the
Russian empire. In vain diplomacy, to excuse
that unworthy betraying of Poland, had promised
to intercede and obtain it. There is not even
granted to that country, after eight months con-
test, after so many sacrifices, the rights guaran-
teed by the treaties of 1815. From the terms of
that treaty, the members of the government should
be all Poles. The Ukase of Nicholas viilates that
at ticle, for the half of the members of the govern.
ment which he institutes will be Russians : and
as they are five, n hich comprises the President,
it is clear that that president being Russian, two
other Russian members also, there will remain only
two Poles, which can do nothing against three
Russians; and again, what Poles will be made
choice of to execute the will of the Autocrat?
Those whol-ave been always servile. That violation
of the treaty is nut sufficient. In case the provi-
sionarygovernment should show itself too generous
towards Poland, a Dictator is placed above it, to
control all its acts. That is, Field-Marshal Pas-
kewitsch, the conqueror of Warsaw, whose sword
will always remain suspended over that unhappy
country, and weigh in its destinies like the sword
of Brennus in the balance of Rome. It is then
entirely a military government, which is sitting
upon the ruins of Polish liberty ; it is the govern-
ment of absolutism and force, the government of
barbarism. And this is what that intervention of
the French Cabinet has produced, that powerful
mediation announced such so much kW from the
throne ! —Tribune.

LONDON, THURSDAY, OCT. 13.

Owi O'CLOCK, THIS DAT.-111LTMOMettf, 66. Ba-
rometer, 29.67. Weather, cloudy, with rain. Wind S.

The panic created by the rejection of the BILL
is to-day beginning to subside—considering the
effect merely as a panic ; but the excitement of in-
dignation is tar from having abated, and will not be
likely to be terminated for some weeks. The
people, both in Town and Country, have been doing
all that was possible to convey their sentiments
to the National Authorities ; and these have
happily responded, so as to give additional
confidence to all the friends of Reform. In other
parts of our Paper, we have detailed the various
proceedings from the Metropolitan Corporation of
London, and the meeting of her Merchants this
day, down to the energetic patriotism of many
smaller towns, and the Union of the Working
Classes, who meet at the Rotunda. All concur in
the same sentiments indignation against the
Lords and Bi,hops—prayers to the KING to re-
tain his Ministers and further the object—with
declarations of confidence in the zeal and good
faith of Ministers.

That their labours have not been lost, is demon-
strated by his MAJESTY'S formal answer given on
such occasions in writing, to the address of the
Corporation of London. We have printed it
accurately in another column ; and it deserves to
be carefully studied by all friends of the Bill ; for
it gives every assurance of support, in terms
consistent with the peculiar situation of the execu-
tive authority, in regard to acts of the conjoint le-
gislature.

We infer from this answer that his MA I EST s's
Privy Council concur in the wishes of the Cabinet
Council of his Ministers ; for to that council, as
his constitutional and responsible advisers, he very
properly referred the propositions submitted to him
by Lord GEZT, in that nobleman's interview on
Monday. His own concurrence was cheerfully
yielded ; but, as a matter of form, he discreetly re-
quired the assent of the Privy Council, and of this
I a very numerous meeting took place yesterday.
In corroboration of the preceding statement we
discover the immediate retirement of Earl Howa
and several other persons, who are well known to
have busied themselves, in opposition to the
BILL, but who had been graciously continued in
their situations, till opposition became an offence,
both to Kin° and PEOPLE. Then, whatever
may be promulgated to the contrary, we also
attach some importance to the retirement of
Lord PA LM E RSTO , who, though he has with
the good faith of a Minister, voted for the
BILL in the Commons, yet by education
and connection, could never have been considered
as a thick-and-thin Reformer. Probably the vote
of the House of Lords may have disturbed his
affinity to his colleagues ; but the circumstance
will in no degree be regretted by the public, since
whatever may have been the sedulous attentions of
his Lordship, the march of intellect has been least
conspicuous in the diplomacy of the country,
since the formation of the present Adminis-
tration. The disastrous result of the affairs of Po-
land—the complication of the Belgic question—the
Austrian interference in Italy and, above
all, the toleration of such an usurper as MIGUEL,
I are features of our foreign affairs which have ill
accorded with the liberal principles of the Ad-
ministration and of the age. At the same time,
it ought to be fairly conceded to his Lordship,
that the first question in our foreign rela-
tions is, the power of our finances to main-
tain any course which a foreign Minister may
advise; and perhaps this limit would have
operated equally against any other minister,
more strictly whiggish than his lordship.

We may hope from this beginning, that a more
general change will take place, than has hitherto,we
suppose, been considered expedient. The public
expect it, desire it, demand it, and insist upon it:
the endurance of tones and sieves of Pitt, Dundee,
Sidmouth, Liverpool, Castlereagh, Canning,

Perceval, &c. &c. in every department of
official trust, is a scandal to the Government
and the nation ; and gives more offence to public II
feeling than any circumstance whatever. The
beads of departments have, as Statesmen, been
pledging their characters in favour of Reform, and
of all liberal principles ; while their official agents,
through two or three degrees, are well-known, and
even the avowed enemies of the policy of their supe-
riors ; and not only engaged in circumventing it, but
in corresponding with their political enemies. The
parish of Mary-la-bonne strictly expressed the
sense of the public, when it demanded the imme-
diate dismissal of the Tory Lord-lieutenants ; and
if their continuance in office was not so palpable
an abuse, every meeting through the country would
express the same sentiments as that enlightened
parish.

In regard to the riot Derby and Nottingham
we may observe, as some apology for the first,
that they were provoked by an indecent exaltation
of a few hot headed partisans of the Tory faction ;
some of whom are to be found in every town,
and thrive by their obsequiousness to the Tory
Aristocracy of the vicinity. In regard to
Nottingham, public spirit is always at its
height among that active and dense popu-
lation. Those who break the peace are,
of course, criminal ; but those are chiefly to
blame who so grossly insulted the country, by
tho late rejection. One circumstance will deeply
interest the intellectual portion of the nation, who
have sympathized in the first love-affair of Lord
BYRON—the Mrs. MUSTERS, wife of Colonel
Musteas, who it is stated died of fright, was
the beautiful female who Lord BYRON has cele-
braied in so many affecting verses. She has
for some years been known to be in a very delicate
state of health: and nothing was more likely than
that the outrages of the infuriated Nottingham
populace would produce so fatal an effect u that
assigned. Another Post will no doubt bring a cor-
rect
account of all the circumstances of this un-
happy occurrence.

The very seasonable speech of the CHANCEL-
Lon last night, of which we have given the most
accurate report, has tended, together with the
Kix o's answer to the City, to restore confidence
at the Stock Exchange, insomuch that the funds
have been rapidly rising through the morning ; and
from 791, to which they had f.llen on Monday, they
have again advanced to 81h, and even to 81h, being
about the price at which they stood before the late
folly of the Peers and Bishops. Exchequer Bills have
also got up from 4 and 6to 8 and 7. At the same
time, part of this effect may have arisen from the
payment of the Divideads ; but it proves confidence
in the Administration, since, instead of being
hoarded, they are promptly re-invested in Public
Securities.

Our Express from Pangs various papers ;
but they are occupied chiefly by speculations about
the Rejection of the Reform Bill ; and on the
disastrous consequences which would result to all
Europe, if the present Ministry were in consequence
to retire, and the Tories, who have shed so much
blood, and inflicted such multiplied injuries on the
world, were again to have the opportunity of abus-
ing the power and resources of these kingdoms.
Happily these forebodings are rendered abortive
by subsequent events ; and the certainty that the
Tory faction have no chance of regaining power
during the life of WI tuass THE Fol., RTII, will be
as gratifying to France and all Europe, as it is to
the people of England.
The French have been as deeply interested as
ourselves in the discussions in the Chamber of
Deputies on the question, whether their Peerage
shall be hereditary ; and though the debates
are not yet brought to a final close, yet
some important divisions have taken place, which
will be found among our extracts from the jour
nal&

The hopes of liberty, as will be seen, are crushed
in Poland; and the uncontrollable reaction of wily
despotism is now displayed in that cruelly neg-
lected and compromised country.
We have Belgian an tch papers this morn-
ing to the 12th inst. They are entirely occupied
with details of the marching and exercising of va-
rious detachments of troops; and accounts of the
visits of King LEOPOLD to Verviers, &c. A de-
structive fire bad broke out in Spa, which is reported
to have consumed sixteen or seventeen houses.

This afternoon, at one o'clock, a Cabinet Coun-
cil, consisting of the whole thirteen Members,
assembled at the Foreign Office, in Downing-
street, where they continued in deliberation for a
considerable tune.

wards of twelve London Banking-houses, several of the prin-
