THE EVENING STAR.

LONDON.
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 9.

This afternoon the LORD MAYOR and Sheriffs, in their
state carriages, and nearly the whole of the Ald.rmen, and
an unusually numerous body of the Common Council, pro-
ceeded to his MAJESTY'S levee, for the purpose of present-
ing the Loyal and Grateful Address, agreed to unanimously
at the Common Hall, held on Friday last.

The Prince of ORANGE will, in a few days, return to
Holland, and take the command of the Dutch Army.

Lisbon Gazettes to the 27th ulto. are received this day.
They are chiefly filled with French and other foreign news,
and literary articles. We have a Miguelite paragraph, in
the paper of the 22d—stating that " this being the anni-
versary of the auspicious day, which restored to Portugal,
after a long absence, the august monarch who now happily
governs us, was celebrated with great splendour and enthu-
siasm. His MAJESTY held a drawing,-room in the Palace
of Ajuda, which was extremely brilliant ! ! !"

At the moment of going to press yesterday, we received
from a quarter, on which we have reason to place reliance,
information which led us to surmise, that the state of good
understanding which has so long, and with so much solici-
tude, been preserved by the Allied Powers, was on the point
of termination. Our information led us to express an ap-
prehension, that even this country would be involved in war.
Had we used the word might instead of would, we
should, perhaps, more definitely have expressed the ex-
tent of our fears;—for we have such confidence in the
wisdom and sincere anxiety of his Majesty's Ministers,
to preserve this country, uumingled in continental disputes,
that we cannot but consider the contingency of such an
event occurring, as slight.
Private letters have been received, however, this day from
Paris, which lead to the conclusion, that whatever may be
the future policy of this country in avoiding war, it is im-
probable that the other great European Powers will long be
able to maintain peace. A rumour is now current, that the
Austrian Ambassador had left Paris ; and the warlike demon-
strations of the Cabinet of Vienna, which has absolutely, ac-

cording to the letters alluded to, put in motion 264,000 troops,
tscaicely admits of a doubt, that it will no longer be restrained
liy the principle of non-intervention, from interfering to stop,
ii possible, the progress of revolution in Italy—or to direct
it so, that it may be subservient to its own power. We
have put the last two lines in Italics, because a report has
i,,ached us. which if not true, is at least ingenious in its fa-
brication, that the Austrian RICHELIEU is not without an
iltcriur view of turning to advantage those events which
cannot be stopped ; and that the choice of the Italian pa-
triots may, in consequence, ultimately, to the surprise of
Europe, fulfil the destiny of the SON of NAPOLEON., in
placing him on the throne of Italy.
We think it our duty to mention to our Readers all we
hear, in the course of the day, on such important subjects ;
at the same time, we do not wish to be considered as at-
taching much credit, to what has the appearance of mere
conjecture.

The sudden fall of the French funds, from 54 to 52k,
is nth by some to a sudden panic observable among
the English in France, which is inducing them, in larger
numbers than usual, to leave that country.

We have had a positive contradiction that the Austrian
Ambassador had left Paris.

The Boroughmongers brought to the BAR of the Public,
continue to make a stout and clamorous defence. They
are no vulgar culprits, and, therefore, make the most of a

bad case, and, in their final exit, may be expected to die
hard. One hundred and sixty-eight of them are to be heard
in turn, and though some twenty or thirty have conscien-
tiously pleaded cut LTY, to save the trouble of the Court,
yet the remainder, and their Confederatesand Counsel,make
as great a noise as pigs in a slaughter-house. Let them,
however, have a fair trial ; for the more they say, the better
will the public be reconciled to their fate. The trial was,
therefore, not over yesterday, and it seems likely to be con-
tinued at least for another sitting.
Last night, Mr. O'Cowx ELL appeared as Counsel against
them, and we regard his speech as one of the most able of those
which have distinguished these proceedings. He made a
great number of excellent points. In reply to the clamour
about corporations, he stated that only sixteen.of the dis-
franchised places contained corporations; and that, even as
to these, no charter gave any power relative to elections.
With regard to Tavistock, he said the present voters were
24 ; but the Bill would render them 450 ; and if then it
were contrasted with Westminster, under the new system,
he would contrast Westminster with Gatton, under the pre-
sent system. He gave the measure his hearty support ; but
be hoped it would be amended as to Ireland, for Dublin was
entitled to an additional member, and Galway, and Kil-
kenny ; while Antrim, Down, Cork, Galway, Kerry, Mayo,
Tipperary, and Tyrone, exceeded in population most of the
English counties, which were to have additional members.

Mr. ATT Wow) earnestly defended virtual representation,
and thought that the commercial interests of London were
well represented, by the members for Midhurst and Calling-
ton. He considered a democratic House of Commons in-
compatible with the other estates, and this measure as re-
volutionary, and calculated to spread desolation and calamity
through the country ; and in his various illustrations of these
sentiments, he was loudly cheered by the Opposition.
Sir JAMES GRAHAM began by pointing out various in-
consistencies of Sir R. PEEL, and commeuted with severity
on the unqualified declarations of the Duke of W ELLIE G Tow .
He then exposed the present insufficiency of the representa-
tion-115 of the boroughs had not 200 voters on the aver-
age—l 1 I peers and commoners returned 220 members-
-143 returned 292—and 16 peers no less than 76 ! Mr.
PITT'S test for disfranchisement, was a population under
2,000 ; this was the rule at the Union, and therefore that
of the present measure. If the number had been so in-
creased, as to include such boroughs as Caine and Knaresbo-
rough, it would have swept away 25 others. The 60 dis-
franchise contained but 1,471 houses of 101. while Sheffield
contained alone 1,556, and Mary-la-bonne, 10,421. The
Cabinet conceded, therefore, to just demands, that they
might oppose unjust ones.
Sir R. PEEL explained, that he preferred 101. voters to
pot-wallopers.
Mr. LEFROY spoke at length against the Bill; but was
unable to command silent attention.

Sir JOSEPH YORE wished the Bill to be thrown over-
board; and stated that the arguments of his commander-in-
chief, Sir J. GRAHAM, were capsized.
Mr. BETHELL, thought the pruning-knife should have
been preferred to the axe ; but he hoped the Bill might be
improved in the Committee.

Mr. PRAED spoke at great length against the bill,
which he thought could not be remodelled so as to meet
his views. A more gradual reform ought to be preferred ;
and, on the same principle, members might be demanded
for Jamaica and Bombay. He ascribed the reform agi-
tation to the passing of the Catholic relief bill ; and as-
serted, that it had for its object the destruction of the
aristocracy, and the overthrow of the hierarchy.
Mr. PERCIVAL and Sir F. BURDETT rose together at
half-past twelve, but on the latter giving way, the tumult
became so general, that as Mr. PERCIVAL found he could
not be heard, he moved an adjournment till this afternoon at
five, which was agreed to.
The Calico Bill passed through a Committee ; and the
Army and Navy Mutiny Bills were passed.
It is the impression in the House, that the first reading
of the Reform Bill will be carried by nearly 200 majority ;
and that subsequent divisions will give Ministers a majority
of 150—the Opposition halve these numbers.
