FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

Buusszt.s, SEPT. 11.—The 39th French re-
otiment of the line, which is at Namur, sets out
to-morrow on its return to France, and will be in
..rarrison at Quesney.
On the Bth, in the morning, a French regiment
of light cavalry arrived at Namur ; it is to go into
-rantontue»ts in the environs of Dinaut, without
doubt to complete the military cordon, which is to
Ito formed by the French troops in the eastern fron
tier from Montmedy and Long-ray.
Accounts from Maestricht say, that trees con-
tinue to be cut down for the purpose of pallisading
anti fortifying that town.
The Voor•d-star gives an extract from a pamphlet
•rrblb:lied last month at Amsterdam, and of which
.anslations into the English, French, and Ger-
man, were to appear soon afterwards : it is a kind
of manifesto of the people of the United Nether-
lands to the notions of Europe.
Mit, SEPT. B.—Tice inhabitants of this town
ire greatly burdened by the number of soldiers
p:artered on them, in consequence of the uninter-
rupted passage of troops, belonging to the Army
of the North, on their return to France.—Brus-
sels Papers, Sept. 11.
VIENWA, AVG. 30.—His Majesty is coming
to Schonbrunn, to give audience as usual. Though
preparations are making for the reception of the
lm•)erial family at the Belvidere, the Emperor is
ssid to be resolved to reside during the winter at'
thc Imperial Palace called the Burg. The health
of the capital is good though signs of cholera
l: the appeared. Experienced physicians here have
observed that for some time past all serious dis-
orders begin with symptoms characteristic of
cholera, which seems to indicate climate influence.
Though we cannot expect that Vienna will remain
exe•.npt from the visitation of this disorder, we may
reasonably hope, from the judicious measures of the
Government, and the readiness of the inhabitants
to second them, and their regular mode of living,
that its ravages will be less extensive,and of shorter
duration than in other places. In Hungary the
cases is different. The excessive repug-
nance of tho people to all obedience, and
the notion that the physicians wanted to
poison the sick, have led to dreadful consequen-
ces. In the district of Borsod, for• instance, out
of nearly 6,000 sick, not one recovered. The same
has been the case in Larbobire ; out of 20,000 in-
habitans, 800 died in Comonn, Debreczyn, &c.
It may readily be supposed, that the physicians
!;ept at a distance, when their exertions aro re-
rdcd by showers of stones. Near Bruck, on
i. Llyth:t, a band of a hundred smugglers
Ittemrted to force their way through the military
coder. A formal battle ensued, in which the
,inugglers were totally defeated; many of them
were ki!l.:d, and fourteen, who were taken prison-
ers, were executed. As they were well armed,
the troops suffered not a little from their resistance.

FRANCE.
CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES..—SATUIIDAT.
M. Mallet—Gentlemen, the members of the
t' ish Committee of the Department of the Seine
!,,g, in a petition which has been subscribed by
than 300 people of Paris, that the Chamber
may beseech the throne for an official declaration of
the nationality of Poland. Shall we do nothing,
say they, for a nation which has always been the
faithful ally of France, and for the last 40 years
shed her blood in her cause ? for a nation which,
in reliance upon our sympathies and fraternity, has
risen against oppression by our example, has done
hat we ourselves did, and at this very moment, by
141 ting for her liberty, prevents the execution of
hostile projects against France ? Not to treat Po-
hnd as a Government, is to treat her as a rebellious
people; and neglecting to declare the legality of
her revolution is to condemn our own. It is of the
greatest import to the honour of France, and also
to her peace and dignity with foreign relations, to
recognise the independence of Poland.—The Po-
lish committee of Metz, in a petition containing
more than 600 names, expresses the same senti-
ments. In another petition, containing 300 sig-
natures, the inhabitants of Mons beg that France
mill recognise the Polish Government, and assist
them by all means in her power to put an end to
that struggle which they have sustained for the
last six months ; they set forth that it interests the
security and future repose of Europe, that some
powerful barrier should be raised to arrest the in-
vading progress of Russia, who would doubless be
desirous of extending her power and influence in
all directions. Lastly, there is a fourth petition,
reproduced five times by the inhabitants of Paris,
Dreux, Sales, near Auby, Menilhubert, Domfront,
aed Loheuc, has been presented by Messrs. de la
3lermais, de Mentalembert, and Lacordaire. They
pm, in the name of the Catholics of France, that
the Chamber will beseech the King to interfere in
favour of Poland.

Join us," say they, " in our religious send-
itlent3, to preserve Poland its independence, and to
France its honour. New representatives of New
France—deputies of a people who love nothing so
well as liberty, if not glory, do not be unfaithful
to the double voice of glory and of liberty." He
moved that the petitions be referred to the Council
of Ministers.

M. BIG NON.—Sorue deplorable deeds have
stained the historic page of Warsaw; but, gentle-
men, You must feel that the crimes of which that
capital has been the theatre are not the crimes of
the heroic Polish nation. Shame be to us, if
merely from these sad events we should leave the
Poles to their own despair—shame be to us, if we
pretend to justify our own inactivity by the re-
proach of cruelty with which we charge them. In
a previous discussion I did not insist upon the re-
t-ognition of Poland, not because I thought it im-
proper. but because I did not wish to engage in an
Position to the ministry. Besides, the amend-
!.,t lit supported by them after the vote on the ad-
.l4:.s made us believe that they would not shrink
the necessity. It is now high time to hasten
recognition of Poland ; two circumstances
tally periqiade me of this fact—the happy chance
which has brought our troops into Belgium, and
the cholera morhus. The hon. member here began
m attack upon the ministry for the system of con-
ference which they had adopted. He thought tbat
the interests of England, Prussia, &c. ought to be
treated of separately, and not in a congress. Hs
then endeavoured to show that the present was a
very favourable moment to secure Poland. Prus-
,m and Austria would not find it to their interest
to oppose themselves ; since, if they were desirous
of so doing, they were not able. The cholera mor-

bus would prevent them. Mark, gentlemen, if
we do not take measures to secure all the advan-'
tages which may be derived from the present state
of Europe, we surely cannot do less than lend an
aid to Poland. It may, perhaps, be said, that such
policy is any thing but generous ; but, gentlemen,
a Cabinet has no right to be generous at the ex-
penee of the people. The plague effects against
Europe at the present time what the winter of 1812
did against Napoleon. Can we hesitate to take back
these advantages —can we refuse to make this hor-
rible scourge serve the purposes of humanity ?
Prussia would certainly tremble if we attacked her
possessions on the Rhine. Let us respect them,
and let us be generous, but let us exact that con-
duct on the shores of the Vistula which we show
to her possessions on the Rhine. Let us make con-
cessions if it be desirable, but remember that we
are accountable for them. Wo are told that a con-
duct more firm on our part in Belgium would have
overthrown the Grey Administration in England,
and replaced it by a Tory Cabinet. But with regard
to politics, there is no fear of a change of ministry
in England. I should not even regret there being a
Tory ministry, because the French Government
would show itself more rigorous on account of it
than towards a liberal Government. A Tory
Administration in England, at this moment, would
cause that country a great deal of embarrassment.
Russia exhausts itself upon a soil which eluded its
grasp. Austria and Prussia know better than to
run the risk of a war which could not be otherwise
than unhappy for them. England, as well as our-
selves, fears war ; but does not, like us, make a
declaration to that effect in public ; what I ask of
France is, that she will not fear England. Why
not at once make use of a firm and energetic de-
claration in favour of the Polish cause ? How
honourable and noble it would be for France to
recognise the independence of Poland at the mo-
ment when she is on the point of a great catas-
trophe ; and if she should miraculously conquer,
what happiness would there be in having contri-
buted to her triumph ! The hon. Member eon-
eluded by voting in favour of the reference pro-
posed by the committee.

M.SEB A STI AN I—l mean not to oppose referring
the petition to the President of the Council, 1
mean only to submit to the Chamber a few ob-
servations. I confess that I cannot altogether
comprehend the last speech. He wishes that we
should take advantage of the events in Belgium
to effect the independence of Poland ; he remarks
that we make numerous concessions, and in conse-
quence have a right to exact some ; he says that
Europe has been stricken to such a point that she
is not at present in a state to make war, and con-
sequently that France may exact her own conditions
Let us examine this allegation. From the events
in Belgium to effect the independence of
Poland ! I confess that I can perceive no
affinity between these two ideas ; and even
the orator himself appears dubious in relation
thereto. That the affairs of Belgium are weighty ones
it is well known to the Chamber. The orator says
that it is an English question ; he should have ex-
pressed himself more correctly, and called it an
European one—for all questions of this kind are
European ones, involving the elements of peace
and war. We have made concessions, it seems;
he ougbt at least to point them out. We thought
the independence of Belgium in danger, and have
hastened to its defence. I cannot perceive in the
conduct of the ministry any concession whatever.
The question of Belgium is terminated, and, far
from forming a motive for rendering us arbiters
of the affairs of the north, ought to fix our
attention upon those of our own country,
which are much connected with the concerns of
another not 50 leagues from our capital. I nei-
ther perceive in the question of Belgium any means
of effecting the independence of Poland, nor any
concession whatever, or, if there have been con-
cessions, it certainly has not been on the side of
France. We marched to Belgium at our own in-
stance ; Europe felt that this movement was in
favour of a general peace, and gave it its adhesion.
We avow that we are most happy on this account,
because peace is necessary to all nations, and the
scourge of disease alluded to by the orator is an
additional motive for us to maintain it ; for were
we to break it, and our legions to advance towards
the Rhine, they would encounter other legions
from the infected countries, and we should march
to meet the pestilence which has stricken all the
rest of the continent. Our Sympathy with Poland
has always been sincere, and is so at this moment.
France has spared no pains to secure the nation-
ality of that country, and the system that Govern-
ment has pursued she will continue to pursue, but
without compromising the real interests of the coun•
try or of peace, and without encountering the
scourge of disease.
M. LAPAYETTE.-.411 two directly similar eases
the conduct of Government has certainly been very
different. In Italy the ministry has shown itself
very weak. The intervention of Austria has been
allowed. An amnesty and the liberation of pri-
soners kidnapped by Austria have been obtained
without force. In Belgium quite an opposite system
has been pursued. We have spoken with energy,
and the first movement has been followed up. That
conduct I applaud ; but we should also maintain it
in our other relations. The same language should
be held to Prussia. Prussia is the enemy of Po-
land, and her intervention should be prevented by
every possible means ; for it is not sufficient to say
we will not consent, if the disposition is not effec-
tually to prevent it. You have heard of the un-
happy events at Warsaw, but they have been, it
is said, much exaggerated. I certainly am not
disposed to excuse popular disorders and excesses,
but we should know the truth before we pronounce
our opinion. The Polish cause is peculiarly French :
from the veterans of the old guard to the children
of our school, the whole of France is Polish. I
hope also that the Ministry is Polish ; but for
Heaven's sake let them show it by due energy.
The reference of the petition was carried with-
out opposition.
DON' ER, SEPT. 12.—Her Royal Highness the
Duchess of Cambridge, who arrived at Wright's Ship Hotel
last evening, with the Princess Augusta, Colonel Sir James
Reynett, and suite, sailed this morning for Calais, in his
Majesty's mail packet Crusader, Captain Hamilton. Her
Royal Highness was waited on by the Commandant and
Officers of the ()enlace, John Ward, Esq and all the prin-
cipal authorities, and had a guard of honour placed at 'he
Hotel. Her Royal Highness walked to the packet through
the assembled crowd, who lined the whole of the quay. At
a quarter past 12 o'clock the firing of the salute from the
batteries announced her Royal Higneses departure. The
packet moved majestically from the Pier, while the air was
rent with the most enthusiastic cheering ; sod as the breeze
was fair, and water perfectly smooth, we are confident the
packet trade her voyage in two hours and a quarter.

RIOTS IN PARIS.

Late in the day, we have had put into our hands,
a copy of a private letter received yesterday from
Paris. The events referred to are serious in them-
selves ; but especially so, under the circumstances

of the known unpopularity of the present French
Ministry, and of a general policy of the Govern-
ment, so adverse to the principles of the last
Revolution. Whether we are to regard it as a poli-
tical effervescence, or as a mere tumult, created
by social distress, the affair indicates the feverish
temper of the French people, and the necessity
of complying with their wishes on Polish and
other questions. The writer of this letter, who
speaks as an observer, and not as a politician,
leaves us in the dark as to the true objects of this
tumult ; but he mentions one fact of very serious
import—namely, that the Government is so ob-
noxious even to the National Guards, that it fears
to trust them, and calls in its trained mer-
cenaries to assure its protection. The Paris
Journals being liable to be seized in bulk, if they
insert any articles which the Minister of Police
deems dangerous, are of course silent on an affair,
which, if it had occurred in London, would have
occupied spirited columns of all our newspapers.
Thus, we last week, by favour of our private cor-
respondent, gave the full details of a disturbance,
in which 1,5J0 women, and some thousand men
were engaged, for a day or two; but silence was
imposed on the Paris Journals. We subjoin the
letter in question; and, as soon as other details
reach us, we will hasten to lay them before our
readers :

PARIS, FRIDAY, SEPT. 9.

I have just come from the theatre, and have witnessed
a serious popular disturbance. As I and a friend of mine
were going, we saw the streets through which we passed,
thronged with people of a threatening character. The per-
formance passed off without interruption; but as we were
rewiring, the street-mob, which had very much in-
creased, were cutting the topes of the lamps, so that
in a few minutes, one of the best lighted streets
in Paris was in a state of utter darkness, and the
yelling of the populace was most frightful. A trumpet,
however sounded, and forward rushed the cavalry with im-
petuous fury, but the people laughed at them ; and a few
pieces of granite torn up and placed, across the street,
stopped their progress. The mob then began to pelt them
from behind this barricade, and they were soon glad to beat
a retreat. After the cavalry had retreated, • column of
about two thousand National Guards. and troops of the line
rushed forward, and things soon wore a serious aspect.--
They drew up in front of the mob, and the Colonel of the
Guards (a good-looking man In spectacles,) came forward
to harangue the multitude ; he was suffered to go on peace-
ably for a few minutes, when on a sudden a stone struck
him a tremendous blow on the back, and a man got behind
him, and as we say in England, " Creamed hies"--that
knocked his cap over his face, and his spectacles fell to the
ground. This was the signal for a general tumult.
.—My friend and I rushed into a Cafe, close at hand,
and were lounging very quietly, for we had no wish to
tamper with the drawn swords or bayonets, which were just
then in full play. We had not been there many minutes,
when a party of soldiers entered, and took away
four or five gentlemanly looking men, who were
seemingly as quiet and peaceable as we were. When
the uproar passed to a distance, we both heat our way home.
All the streets through which we passed were lined with
foot soldiers, and bodies of cavalry, marching about in a
terrific manner; and I heard that the mob were engaged in
the Boulevards. I had, however, no desire to go amongst
them, as the French soldiers are infinitely more ferocious
than the English police.
SATUSDAY Evzxxxa.—l open this letter to tell you
what you will not find in any of the French newspapers;
which is, that four men were killed last night, and that the
disturbances to-night are as bad if not worse than ever. The
National Guards are, however, not on duty. The ostensible
reason is, as is stated, that they are too humane to deal with
the populace. None but the regular troops of the line, and
the municipal Garde. du -Corfu, are on duty, and it
is confidently asserted, that the Government has
ceased to rely on the National Guards. The streets,
however, are lined with troops, particularly about the
Boulevards. The French newspapers take as little notice
of this state of things as possible.

The arrivals of to-day are wholly silent on the 1
subject of Poland ; we must, therefore, await for 1
the contents of the next Hamburgh Mail, which
we hope to be able to lay before our Readers to-
morrow. In another part of the Paper, we give a
debate in the Chamber of Deputies, in °consequence
of petitions demanding the peremptory inter-
ference of France, with force, as well as
words. The French Ministry make most
artful professions, and, probably, like many
friends in common life, will do what they can,
provided it can be done without cost, or the chance
of sacrifice. We avail ourselves, however, of this
notice, to remind the patriotic societies and meet-
ings throughout the United Kingdom, that they
also ought to petition in behalf of the Poles ; and
we do not hesitate to tell them plainly, that it is
base and selfish to neglect this brave people,
and to discuss and petition only about
their own concerns. We have at the same
time no doubt that formal diplomacy has been ex
erted by the British Government ; but upon this
and all subjects, Ministers, except on matters of
mere routine, wait for expressions of the public
wishes. They are doubtless not indisposed to plead
the cause of Poland at Petersburgh ; but they
would not feel justified in committing any serious
interest of the country, unless the country itself
clearly and loudly made the demand.
The Journalists of France and England are
speculating on presumed negociations ; and we
hope they are right, if those negociations have for

their object the true interests of Poland. The
Poles bare not taken up arms to modify the domi-
nation of Russia, but only to clear themselves of
it. They demand also the restoration of sonic of
their ports, as Dantzig, or Elbing, or Konings-
burg ; and if mediators are not prepared to sup-
port these objects, they are false and hollow friends,
whose interference would do more harm than
good.

In another page we exhibit the progress and
continued encroachments of that fatal malietv.
which mocks the boasted illumination of the nine-
teenth century. If we have Parliament:: and
Congresses to adjust the international policy olcoun•
tries, and regulate their small domestic concerns, it
would surely be worth while, at a moment when the
interests of the civilized world, and the lives of
lions are at stake, to assemble a congress of medical
professors and practitioners from the universities and
colleges of Europe, to compare theories, princiiles,
and practices, so as in a clear, decided, and satis-
factory manner, to bring all existing knowledge to
bear on the subject of prevention and cure. The
world has arrived at a state of intercourse,
which ought to relieve us from the vul-
gar chances of the dark ages, when su-
perstition of all kinds interfered with reason, anu
when men were the voluntary victims of all the
calamities of the elements, ascribing them either
to the resentment of the DUTY, or the paramount
malignity of the Devil. We now know, that it is
our duty in all things to make the best use of our
faculties, and it will be little creditable to the
good intelligence of the Governments of Europe,
if without every reasonable effort, they permit this
same cholera to extend its direful ravages through
(iermany, France, and Britain.
We now bear of its extension to the fine city of !
Berlin, and that in spite of the best arrangements
of successive lines of sanita'y cordons, with which
that capital has been carefully invested. Hence it can- ,
not fail to spread to the Elbe; from the Elbe to the
Weser; thence into Holland, &c. Behold its effects
on a highly civilized country like Prussia ! It dis-
turbs every relation of life—interrupts communica-
tions between province and province, and even
town and town—and puts un end to all productive
industry and private income ! In these respects
it produces for the time a social chaos ; and on its
departure, all relations have to begin anew. Nor
is this all ; for under such circumstances, Prus-
sia, the Elbe, &c. will be laid under an inder-
dict of all foreign nations, her immense exports
be arrested, and her now flourishing manufactures
become stagnant. Such is the necessary effect on
Prussia, superficially considered, without enlarging
on details, and on the effects which must result to
the public finances, and other concerns of the Go-
vernment. Let the reader reflect for a moment on
the effects in Britain, where every thing is a thou-
sand times more complicated and artificial than in
such a country u Prussia. The consideration is
frightful ! It would put us back a century I

The melancholy death of Mr. CA LC R A FT having
created a vacancy for Dorsetshire, and the writ
being issued, some anxiety is expressed that the
re-election should be a contest of principle. It
may be so, and, perhaps, some Reformer may be
ambitious of representing so important a County.
If such should prove the case, we, of course, hear-
tily wish him success. At the same time, it is
not to be concealed, that, at the last election,
sympathy and pity were generally felt for the
Barra:sea ; but the Reform Bill having now
passed the Commons, the return of one of that
family will create no heartburning among those
who feel as Englishmen ought, on the subject
of their career, during the late disastrous wars,
and encroachments on the liberties of the people.

The debates in the two Houses last night merit special
attention in their details. On presenting a petition from
Lord Radnor in the Upper House, Lord King described the
serious impottance of the Reform Bill, and his apprehensions
of the consequences to that House, if it were rejected.
Tlie Lords Wynford, Kenyon, and Londonderry, re-
prehended such language, and the latter and Lord Sa-
lisbury moved that the words should be taken down. The Lord
Chancellor qualified them. Lord Salisbury persevered in
his objection ; but Lord King insisted on the unpopularity
of the House. Lord Whaincliffe observed that if the House
rejected the Bill, it would not be to maintain undue influ-
ence on the (louse of Commons, but because they saw in it
,danger to the Constitution. We regard this as some spar-
ring before ■ pitched battle. The Pluralities Bill passed the
Committee ; but on this subject we refer our readers to the
letter of Mr. Bentley in the ST•• of yesterday.
In the Commons, an Address to the King was agreed to,
kr documents relative to the Newtownbarry affair.
Mr. Hume presented a very judicious petition from •
Mr. Harman in the King's Bench, exposing an ahaureiity in
the Law of Libel ; and Mr. Hunt presented soother in
favour of the Rey. Robert Taylor.
Mr. Robinson, on presenting a petition relative to New.
foundland, entered into an account of its grievances; and
moved an address for giving it a legislative Government.
It appeared that seven hundred vessels trade with that
island, besides a coasting trade with four hundred—that ,ts
ezports and imports were each above £600,000, and its lecal
population 00,000. Lord Howick wished the subject to he
postponed for the year, and moved the previous question.
Sir John Newport, Mr. Hume, Mr. Ferguson, Lord Al-
thorp, Mr. O'Connell, &c. spoke, and the motion was then
withdrawn.

Lord John Russell then moved some improvements in the'
detail of the Reform Bill, and stated that it war in'er.ded to
give an additional Member to Glamorganshire, eserniar-
thenshire, Denbighshire, and Pembrokeshire ; one to
Ashton.under-Line, and one to Stroud and Minchin.'
hampton. The third reading wu announced for Monday next.
A variety of discussions, in which !alone Sity Members
spoke, relative to the appointment of Commissioners, and
other details of secondary public Interest. Sir R. Vyvyan
spoke at great length ; and Mr. Hunt expressed his doubts
of the expected benefits, and cared nothing for the attacks
of the Press.

This day, at half-past one, there was a Con-
ference with the Ministers of the Great Powers.
at the Foreign Office, on the affairs of Btlgium.
The Conference continued till half-past two, when
another Cabinet ( ouncil was assembled :it the

A letter has been put into our hands, dated
Constantinople, August 10, on board his Majesty's ship
AttCol). The writer mentions the great fire, which, he says,
consumed thirty thousand houses. It appears that the M-
I fish Ambassador was, at •he time, at his country house, but
his house in Pets was destroyed ; also, that the crew of the
Actrun went with the boats and engines to assist in club,.
(tubbing the flames, in a Etch they had little success, hut
were enabled to save many valuable articles, as jewels. plate,
die. Tne writer adds, that neither the Turks nor Greeks
would give any assistance, and actually sat smoking their
pipes without any emotion.
Mr. UETROSIER, the elccuent lecturer of Man-
chester, is now in London, and is, we understand, todeliver
a lecture this evening, at the Mechanics' Institute, in
Southanipton-buildings, on the moral and political instrue-
Con of the working classes. t.44atne of his IT:1131t134 ate excel-
lent : for example, he maintains that political melioration is
the consequence of moral progression—that woman should
be a full partaker of the benefits of the labours of her hus-
band—and that n.‘ melioration of condition can be effected,
while men are the slaves of drunkenness--a vice on which
he enlarges with a style of eloquence, such as will tempt
us another day to submit some passages to our readers.
The Concert and Ball in the City, to be given
lin celebration of the Coronation, at the London Tavern,
to-murrow evening, presents great atiractions.—Collins,
rival of Paganini, leads the Band ; his son. a child only six
years of age. plays a concerto on the violin ; and Guilio
Begomii will pertorm on the guitar. The names of several
popular singers also appear in the programme.
Miss Chambers, the only daughter of an emi-
nent and ill-used banker, appeared one night at the Theatre.
Liverpool. last week, to a moat crowded audience, w.: ee
plaudits were unceasing. After Christmas she will prove
the most brilliant star in the theatrical hemisphere ; and re-
port speaks alike of the attractions of her beauty and talents.
Two line-of-battle ships, of the first class (one a
three-decker, the other an 80-gun ship), have sailed, under
Admir..l Parker, for the Tagus; and some frigates, with
other vessels of war, are to be stationed off the bar of
Oporto, at the desire, as we understand, of the British
merchants, in order to ensure protection and safety to the
poems and property of the English subjects residing
then.
