THP. KING'S TRUMPETER. A poor fellow is
now going about the country, with a dancing bear, 11
defying the power of the local magistrates to,
put a stop to the vagaries of his companion, Bruin,
in consequence of his possessing, as he states, the
King's authority for " kicking up a row." He
was lately taken before the magistrates at Sheffield,
upon a charge of baiting his bear, to the imminent
danger of the lives of his Majesty's lieges. Upon
the prisoner being called upon for his defence, he
said, " I have the gracious King's authority."—
" Indeed !" replied the Magistrate, with astonish-
ment, " the authority of the King to bait a bear !"
—" I have, sir," continued the former, shaking
his head, and riveting his eyes upon his worship.
" Produce your authority," said the Magistrate.
The baiter here took from his pocket a tin case,
containing a parchment, purporting to have ema-
nated from the Lord Chamberlain's Office, and
given under the hand and seal of " Thomas Lister
Parker, Esq. his Majesty's Trumpeter !" It was
dated February 28, 1827. Its provisions extended
to itinerant players, showmen, rope-dancers,
mountebanks, prize players, and other strollers of
this reputable class, who were supposed to follow
their respectable vocations " with the utmost de-
corum ;" but, unfortunately for the poor bear-ward,
no mention could be found of bear-baiting. It ap-
peared that the " license, letters, and authority,
cost him upwards of 21. The prisoner, however,
was ultimately discharged, upon his promising to
abstain from his bear-baiting vocations, and no
more to claim either the authority of his Majesty,
or that of " T. L. Parker, Esq. the King's Trum-
peter," to annoy the public. The Magistrates in-
timated to the prisoner that the credentials he had
in his possession were illegal, and nothing but a
fraud upon public credulity.

POLA NP.
The heroic efforts of the Polish peasantry for the
delivery of their country from the common enemy,
begets a feeling of gratitude towards them, on the
part of the landholders, which promises to change
entirely the condition of that most useful class at
no distant period. Many of the nobility have al-
ready spontaneously abolished all remnants of for-
mer servitude ; and the Senator Francis Naw aski
has declared each soldier belonging to Lis large es-
tates, and returning, after the campaign, with a cer-
tificate of good behaviour, to be entitled to a freehold
property of 50 acres of good arable land, besides a
cottage and 100 florins for the purchase of agricul-
tural implements. Donations for the supprt of the
army in the field, and the sick and wounded, slow
in from all parts of the old Polish provinces; and
the noble inhabitants of Prussian Poland assist
zealously their brethren, in spite of the atrocious
ukase issued against them by their gracious Sove-
reign the King of Prussia. Indeed, nothing ex
ceeds the treachery exercised by that Government
against that much injured nation, disgracing the
Prussian name merely for the sake of a family
connection between the Emperor of Russia and
the Royal Family of Prussia. The time, however.
is not far distant when the Court of Prussia will
pay dear for its shameful violations of all feel-
ings of decency and humanity. The Poles are at
this present moment as strong as ever ; they have
now one hundred thousand men, regular veep,
under arms, besides the new levy of 30,000 re-
cruits. Their fortresses, Zamoac, Wllin, and par-
ticularly Praga, are impregnable, and 100,000
Russians would now be insufficient to conquer
Warsaw. The dissatisfaction with Diebitsch is
already beginning to operate on the mind of his
I master. whole army consists of 80,000 men,
I besides 24,000 men under General Toll, in the
naighbourhood of Lublin. It is only by the sup-
; plies brought him from Prussia, under the escort
1-of Prussian soldiers, that he could maintain him-
self so long in the position he now occupies in
the north-east part of the kingdom of Poland.
It is little known that, on his entering Poland,
he had been appointed by his master Governor-
' General of the kingdom, with unlimited power,
and the provisional members of his council, con-
sisting of some slaves of the autocrat's court,
and three degenerated natives of Poland, had '
ac-
tually arrived in Bialystock, frcm St. Petersburg,
Ito begin their iniquitous work of destruction,
few days previous to the last movement of did
Polish Commander-in-Chief towards Lithuania.

VITTORIA, MAY 28.
There have been lately some disputes between
the French and Spanish borderers about boundaries
(in the Valley of Beaten). During the reign of
Charles X. the question was settled, and a particu-
lar mountain (the present of ject in dispute) ad-
judged to Spain. Since the fall of the elder blanch
of Bourbon the French have discovered that the
Commissioner employed to adjust the boundary, on
their part, was bribed by the Spanish Government ;
and accordingly the French borderers threw up their
eat s for Louis Philip, and drove the Spaniards off the
" debateable ground." The Spanish shepherds,
always ready to quarrel with their neighbours, re-
taliated; and this has led to rather serious affrays,
sufficient to cause the march of a detachment of troops
by each party to stop these disorders, which are (W.,,
too common occurrence to excite any vary particular
attention. The number of regular troops being
very small in the Basque provinces and Navarre,
the duty has hitherto been effected by the Royalist
volunteers ; but their inefficiency being palpable,
the Government some time since called out the
contingent of each province, which is to be con-
stantly maintained effective, and to do duty as re-
gular troops, but paid, clothed, aad maintained by
their respective provinces, the Municipalities, or
Ayuntamientos of which, name and appoint the of-
ficers, subject to the approval of the Captain-
General. The fortes thus raised will amount to
about 5,000, who may be depend: on as good
soldiero,but only in their own provinces.
• The government are still excessively particular
lin every thing about politics, of which an amusing
instance happened a short time since. A French
traveller arrived in this town in the afternoon, and
at the Coffee-house he was asked for " news about
the Poles." The young man detailed various vie.-
' .
tones stated to have been gained by Poland over
her colossal opponent, as reported by the French
papers. This intelligence gave great joy to those
who heard it, but not to " el Senor d;putado,"—
who, upon hearing the news, suiranoned Monsieur
to his presence, just as he was, being rather tired,
comfortably going to bed. Brought before the' King
tf Biscay' he was asked where he had this informa-
tion ?—' From the French papers,' was the reply.
But why divulge such news here ?" Because he con-
dared extracts from papers no secret, nor even of
any consequence, " Quite the contrary," said the
Lord of Biscay ; " the Polish war is a rebellion
against legitimacy, and as such nothing must be
said of its success or victories, since such only
erva to keep alive the groundless expectations of
a party aho are far too feeble ever to regain that
ascendancy, which when they had they knew not
)w to keep." With this lecture and a caution the
unit of " the great nation" was dismissed uncere-
tiously. The stupidly rigorous Custom-house
code of Spain, enforced by the hungry avarice of
the farmers-general, is beginning to show the
usual results—viz. a deficiency in the Custom-
house receipts, and a sufficiency of candidates for
the gullies. The Custom-house at Vittoria• does
not average above 40001. per month—scarcely half
its former product.

NOBLE BEQUEST.—Provost Ha*, of St. An-
drew's, on Thursday week, received a letter from
Dr. Bell, the author of what is termed the Lan-
casterian system of education, and a native of St.
Andrew's, inclosing Bank of England transfer

60,0001. Three per Cent. Reduced, vested in the
names of the Provost, Principal Haldane, Dr.

the promotion of education and endowment

foregoing magnificent grant, the donor has made
over to the same gentleman a piece of ground be
had purchased from the town of St. Andrew's, in-
tended as a site for schools, and for which he paid
1,1001. This splendid donation reflects the high-

ACT OF ABDICATION EMPEROR

his Son, his Imptrial Highness Senor Don Pcdro D'Al-

•• In exercise of the right which the Constitu-
twn allows, I declare that I have ♦oluntarily abdi-

" Dona Vista, April 7. 1831, " PEDRO."
I+le tc:th of the Independence of the Empire."
RIO DE JANEIRO. _ _

I'he Brazilian Papers of the last half of March
:And to Bth April inclusive, give very long details of
the events which preceded the late revolution. It
appears that their ;Majesties, on their return from
their tour in thr... provinces, were received with
f•N ci.y apparent testimony of loyalty and affection ;
h;:t in the night of the 13th March, an affray,
:mended with bloodshed, arose between the Portu-
guese and the Brazilians. On the 15th March, at
the most solemn entry of the Emperor, the exccssss
....ere continued ; some of the persons who accom-
panied on horseback committed various insolent
acts, threatening the citizens with their whips if
they did not cry out " Long. live the Em'eror,
death to the republic." " The police are accused
of conniving at the rioters ; and the firm convic-
tion of the generality of the Brazilians (says the
I nielligenccr) is that the whole was caused by the
influence, and under the auspices of the agents of
the Executive. Violence succeeds to violence. No
Brazilian is secure. It is reckoned a crime to show
patriotic sentiments, to wear the national cock-
ade," &c.

In consequence of these events, an appeal was
sent to the Emperor, on the 17th of March, signed
by 24 members cf the Chamber of Deputies. They
complain of the affronts offered to the national ho-
nour, by strangers who think it an honour to be
called subjects of Don Miguel, or partisans of
Donna Maria 11. and who chiefly composed the
rabble who committed the outrages on the nights of
the 13th and 14th, vilified the Brazilian name, as-
saulted and wounded many of the citizens on pre-
tence of their being federalists, &c. In canclusion,
they declare that the least delay may prove fatal.
" Confidence in the Government is almost entirely
lost, and if the outrages against which the under-
signed remonstrate remain unpunished, it shall,
with the Brazilian people, amount to a declaration
to avenge by every possible means their national
honour and dignity, so unworthily stained."
To this address an answer was returned the fol-
lowing day, declaring that measures had been taken
to maintain honour and tranquillity ; and by de-
crees of the same day, the Emperor dismissed
four of his ministers, and appointed others in their
room.

On the 25th March, the 7th anniversary of the
swearing to the Constitution of the empire of Bra-
yil celebrated by every demonstration of at-
tachment to the Constitution. Their Imperial
Majesties, who were present at a review of the
troops, were welcomed with acclamations by the
spectators and the soldiers; and at night the city
was brilliantly illuminated. On account of the
late events some fears of further disturbances were
entertained, but happily they were not realised.
On the 3d April his Majesty issued a decree
convoking an extraordinary meeting of the general
legislative assembly.
On the sth April decrees were issued, dismiss-
ing all the ministers, and appointing others in their
room. On the Gth, the new ministers were dis-
missed ; and on the 7th the Emperor abdicated in
favour of his son, and a Regency was appointed by
the members of the Chamber of Deputies, namely
the Marquis of Caravellas, by 40 ‘'otes; M. Fran-
cisco de Lima, 35 ; NI. Vergueiro, 30.

The following oath was taken by them :
" We swear to maintain the Roman Catholic
Apostolic religion, the integrity, and the indivisi-
bility of the empire ; to observe, and cause to be
observed, the political institutions of the Brazilian
nation to the utmost of our power, and also to be
faithful to Don Pedro IL and to deliver up the Re-
gency as soon as another be legally installed."
The Intelligehcer confirms the fact of the troops
having not only refused to fire on the people, but
of leaving their barracks and joining their coun-
trymen, which led to the Emperor's abdication.—
It adds : " Ou the night of the abdication the Em-
peror and Empress, and the Queen of Portugal, pri-
vately proceeded on board his Britannic Majesty's
ship Warspite, where they still remain. It is sup-
posed the acclamation of Don Pedro 11. will take
place as soon as the Legislative Assembly shall be
legally installed, there not being at present a suffi-
cient number of members in attendance on the Scs-
sions."—lntelligeneer, April 9.
The several diplomatic agents at Rio had pre-
sented addresses to the Regency, requesting pro-
tection for persons belonging to their respective
countries. The Regency in reply expressed their
earnest desite to cultivate a good understanding
with foreign states, and their determination to do
all in their power to protect the persons and pro-
perty of foreigners in their country.
Some later intelligence reached London to-day
from Rio Janeiro and Bahia. The letters from the
former confirm the belief that the infant Emperor
will not be able to maintain his authority, and that
after some struggle a more popular form of govern-
ment will be adopted. A large party unquestion-
ably exists, anxious to establish a republic, and it
is to be observed, that Brazil has been for some
time the only monarchy in the western hemisphere.
Preparations for the worst were making by all the
residents in Rio Janeiro, and some Britian subjects
bad taken measures to quit that place immediately.
The strongest assurances had, hoe ever, been given
by the public authorities in Brazil of security to
persons and property. The belief at Rio Janeiro
was, that the ex-Emperor would proceed to France
in the first instance, as he did not expect to be
allowed to land in Porturral.
The Ann arrived at Liver; col from Bahia, from
whence she sailed on the 9th of April, states that,
pr.vicars to her sailing, a revolution had broken out
at Bahia. The military Lad joined the populace,
who had drawn out seven propositions, the first of
which was the expulsion of all Portuguese from
power, and the deposing of the President. All the
shops were closed, and the inhabitants were walk-
ing the streets armed. There was no ship of war
in port at the above date.

ARRIVAL OF DON PEDRO.

His Majesty's ship Volags, commanded by Lord
COLCIIESTIR, arrived at Falmouth on Thursday
morning, having on board the ex-Emperor of
BRAZIL, who is on his passage to Cherbourg.—
Don PEDRO is accompanied by the ex-Empress
and a numerous retinue, and intends to proceed
through France to Munich. The Queen of Pon-
TUGA L is on her passage to this country in a
French ship of war.

To-day we are enabled to furnish our Readers
with full details of the Revolution in Brazil, the
largest and most fertile single territory in the world.
How unhappy is the fate of Princes, that they are
surrounded with such incompetent advisers, as to
be unable to combine their personal splendour, with
justice and advantage to the people ! But, alas !
lordly courtiers are usually worse informed than the
Princes whom their own ignorance dares to instruct.
The loss of the empire of Brazil to the House of
Braganza, appears to have arisen from the very
same cause as the loss of Belgium to the House of
Orange—the employment of foreigners instead of
natives.

The example was recent and had no effect—and
yet we hang men for example, not to Kings under
moral instruction, but to men in habits of profli-
gacy, and then weakly wonder, that hanging one,
does not reform another. Flattered then by his fa-
vourites, and deluded by the shouts of ragged chil-
dren, and the vulgar, or populace, who shout for any
glittering thing his empire passed away as suddenly
as that of BELTSHAZZER I Publicdiscontent may
not always produce such a result; but it does so often,
that KtlrG 'S
ought to seek other Councillors, than
stupid and ignorant Lords of their Court, whenever
they discover deep-seated discontents in many po-
pular insurrections ; for of these, the Emperor of
BRA Z IL had had warnings enough.

Whether this Brazilian Court will seek an
asylum in England, France, or the Azores, not-
withstanding the current, report may not at present
perhaps he ascertained. If we may judge from
lunauthorized statements, the late Emperor seeks
the repose of private life ; but Princes are sur-
rounded by ambitious partizans, who force them
to play artificial parts,; and we may, therefore, ex-
pect that PEDRO will not be allowed to be a cypher
in regard to the future destinies of Portugal.
The simultaneous revolution at Bahia, 500 miles
distant from Rio, and the repeated republican in-
surrections at Pernambuco, prove that an infant
Emperor has little chance of resisting the Ame-
rican predeliction for popular government ; and, in
truth, the country is so vast, (2500 miles by
1800,) that we may expect it will split into three
or four respectable republics.
To British exports it can make little immediate
difference, though it will disturb public relations
and private obligations. It cannot, however, be
concealed, that the security of Imperial bonds is
less staple, and t'.at those who sought abroad for
advantages, which our own industry has always
presented to capital, will find their adventures in,
at least, temporary jeopardy.
The emancipation, too, of this fine country from
the narrow policy of the Portuguese, and the esta-
blishment of civil and religious liberty, will change
the current of Emigration from Europe, and seduce
adventurers to establish themselves on a soil so
pre-eminently fertile, and in a climate so healthful
and agreeable.
In a word, no country in the wold is so advan-
tageously situated as Brazil, for intercourse with the
East and West ; and its political civilization will
render it a formidable rival to the North Ame-
rican Stateii, in Products, Arts, and Industry.—
We regard this Revolution, therefore, as pregnant
with consequences to the fortunes and future his-
tJry of the human race. 1 t nearly completes the

emancipation of both Americas from European
domination, and affords free scope to the natural
energies of those vast Continents.

The following letter has been received from the
Agent to the North and South American Coffee
House, dated

Bumf°. ATRU, MAlall IS.

War between the boundary provinces of the Argentine
Republic, and those of the Interior has actually commenced,
and it will probably decide the question of predominance
between the Unitarian and Federal party as yet no decisive
action or any combat of great importance has occurred. The
few skirmishes which have taken place seem to have been in
favour of the Federal troops, and they have entered the pro-
vince of Cordova. The following is a brief sketch of the
forces, &c. of the belligerents in this civil war. The boundary
provinces consist of Buenos Ayres, Santa Fe, !Inherit's, and
Carrientos. The latter province is, at present, a passive spec.
tator of events, and little or no aid can be expected from F.ntre-
rios, that province.being in a state of constant inquietude, from
the efforts of a Unitarian party in its own territory, and the
Unitarian exiles and emigrants from Buenos Ayres, who
swarm in the neighbouring State of the Banda Oriental.
Buenos Ayres and Santa Fe are the active party in the war,
and the Governments of these two provinces are decided and
determined federal. The Federal Army, therefore, consists
as follows : troops of Buenos Ayres, 700 cavalry, under
Col. Pacheco, in active operation, in the province of Cor.
dova ; 2000 cavalry and 2000 infantry, acting as an army
of Reserve, on the frontiers, and commanded by the dove?.
nor of Buenos Ayres, Don Juan Manuel Kolas; besides
these, the Friendly Indians of this province are ready to
act when called upon.

The troops of Santa Fe consist of about 2,000 cavalry,
including the Indians of Chaco. General Quiroga has about
300 to 400 men, which he collected in Buenos Ayres, in
order to carry on a desultory warfare against the interior
provinces ; and Colonels Ifarra and La Torre have nearly
500 men for the same object.

The nine interior provinces now under the Unitarian sys-
tem of government, and over whom Gen. I'u has been up.
pointed Protector, and Supreme Military Chief, are COT.
dora, Santiago, Mendoza, San Luis, Riega, Catamaree,
Tucuman, Salta, and Juan. The force which General Paz
can bring into the field has not been well ascertained;
he is at present acting on the defensive, but he has
with him the flower of the old army of the re.
public—the officers are of first rate talent, and
all of them compromised in the system of Go-
vernment which he supports; he has likewise been well
supplied with all sorts of warlike 'stores from Chill. 1
should think he may have about 2,000 men, cavalry and
infantry, and a good artillery corps, besides contingents from
the different provinces of the latter all fervent in the cause;
the Protector can present a formidable front ; but this is
doubtful. The Federals calculate upon considerable defec-
tion in that quarter, and call upon the inbakitants of the
interior to join them in driving the military despots (as they
are called) from the Republic.
Trade, as may be well conceived,- Is in a most wretched
statey—little or nothing doing. The mercantile community
are out of heart, aware that if this civil war is protracted,
it will go far to destroy the the little that remains of pro
perty in this country.
Exchange upon England 61 to 6i per paper; dollar
doubloons 124 and 126, paper dollars each. The Govern-
ment has created 6 millions of dollars of new 6 per Cent.
Stock, in order to meet the expenses of the war.

The Buenos Ayres papers give some particulars
of an engagement which took place, between
Colonel PA CII ECO, commanding the Federals,
and Colonel PEDE RN EIII , of the Unitarian
party, in which the latter was routed, with
the loss of fifty or sixty killed, as many pri-
soners, with his horses, baggage, &c. Several
other engagements of a similar nature are detailed
in these papers, and form the subject of three or
four bulletins.

We have the Prussian State Gazette this morn-
ing, giving the Russian account of the Battle of
Ostrolenka, and preceding operations of their army.
It is, as might be expected, partial and distorted.—
The great conflict took place on the 26th of May;
and we confine our extracts to the detail of that
battle—the transactions of the previous two or
three days not having much interest :
On the 26th, at day-break, the army proceeded eight
wersts on the other side of Ostrolenka. The Russian van.'
guard consisting of a brigade of grenadiers, some regiments
of cavalry, joined the army in woody defiles, where they
attempted to make a stand ; but being charged with the
bayonet, were soon driven out, and pursued to Ostrolenka.
A division of infantry defended the town, which was taken
at the point of the bayonet. Notwithstanding the fire, which
broke out in several places, the Russian troops executed
their movement with equal courage and precision, so that
the enemy had not time to destroy the bridge
over the Narew. At the same time, the hula= of
the guard attacked the fourth regiment of the line,
drove it into the river, and cut off the retreat of all
those who did not perish by the sword or In the waves.—
After these events, our brave grenadiers bad reached the
other bank ; they penetrated into the columns which showed
themselves, got possession of their cannon, and took up a
position, by which they were masters of the road (causeway)
to Warsaw.

The rebels, in order to secure their retreat, and not to be
obliged to peas a marshy stream in sight of the army, at-
tacked the Russian columns five different times, and were
each time received by the Russian bayonets. Being
vigorously repulsed, and almost crushed by showers
of grape-shot, from the admirably served Russian
artillery, the Poles desisted from further attempts. They
took advantage of the darkness of the night to make their
retreat; and by going a long way about, reached the cause-
way, which had cost them so many men.
On this bloody day the Russians took three cannon, and
made 1.500 prisoners during the action. Among them are
a Brigadier General, four superior officers, and several subal-
terns, besides the wounded picked up on the field of battle,
who are not included in the above number of prisoners.—
Many others have been found who were leR behind in the
neighbourhood during the retreat. The prisoners say that
Gederal Kaminski was killed, and Gen. :Pac and HUI
wounded. The immense loss which the Ruulans have
caused the enemy, has been purchased by sacrifices; but
they have again proved the superiority of their arms, and
defeated all the projects of the rebels, who retreat with such
precipitation, that notwithstanding the forced marches they
had before made, they reached Rosen towards noon.

At the same time, we have the satisfaction of
making extracts from the same journal, admitting
the successful progress of the patriot cause in
Lithuania:

today still at Prep. There were reports In circulation that
General Olelgud has joined the Lithuanian insurgents, but
nothing certain is known on this subject. Various reports are
in circulation respecting the arrival of General Chlopicki in
Warsaw. Some say he is expected s others pretend be hu
already arrived, and even that he had yesterday a long inter.
view with the Commander-in-chief at Praga."

The Warsaw State Gazette says, detachments of our army
are advancing into the province of Augustowo. On the 25th,
they took the town of Augustowo, and are said to have
reached Survalki on the 26th. Letters have been received,
which say, that the Lithuanians bad crossed the Niemen,
and taken possession of the district of Mariampol. It is
said that General Jankowski is to have the command of the
corps that is to operate on the line to Brsesc. The Russian
Gen. Hants is encamped at Czerniegow, 15 miles South of
Lublin : his cavalry operates in the country, from Kru.
snyslaes towards Zarnosc. General Rudiger's head quarters
were, according to the last accounts, at Dubience. Some
skirmishes have occurred near Josekow, on the Vistula, and
in Zalikow, in which our corps took prisoners, two Rus-
sian officers, and 34 privates.
The same paper says that the

with the members of the National Government; and, after
stopping a few hours, set out to join the troops on the other
side of the Narew. With respect to the operations in the
Province of Augustowo, the State Gazette reports, that the
corps of General Sacken, having retreated from Lonna,
carrying away the rich citizen Adam Benenwecki, who
had caused the Russian army great injury, Gen. Gielgud,
with the Polish troops, had followed the enemy, and pro.
ceeded without obstacle to Razgrod ; so that the post from
Crajewo has again arrived at Warsaw.

The Warsair Gaulle of the day before yesterday says,
" the headquarters of Gen. Uminski are again at Bizozing,
near. Den. Denele. The news that that General had taken
possession of Jeidsee, which the Russians had voluntarily
abandoned, which was published by all the Warsaw papas,
is not confirmed."

The same Gazette says, that the Polish corps under Gen.
Chlopowski, which has entered Lithuania, by way of
Bianak, had, after taking, without striking a blow
the town of Bielsk which was barricaded by the
Russian garrison joined in the forest of Bralowica, the
Lithuanian insurgents commanded by the Castello: Tysz.

Augustowo, of the 20th inst. that 14,000 Lithuanian incur.
gents had entered thelprovince of Augustowo; and having
joined the corps of Major Puschet, had blockaded the Rus-
sian General Fricke, with a garrison of four thousand men,
in Mariampol.
Beaux, Josue 3.—The Sonieletri Gaulle has an
article from Memel, which says.—" The Lithuanian Inuit.
gents arc again assembling in great numbers on our fron.
tiers, and appear to Intend to drive the Russian troops from
Polangen, and gain the sea coast."
Tit.sir, MAT 28.—Both the Russian troops and the
Insurgents have retired from the frontier near this town. The
first (10,000 strong), are said to have left Georgenburg, and
concentrated themselves behind Newstadt. The insurgents
are In considerable numbers at Teize. In the last advance
of the Russian troops, they have shown great lenity to the
places that were before in a state of insurrection.—Prussian
State Gaulle, June 3 and 4.

The above, as we have said, is Polish news, from
the enemy; but it may be observed that the au-
thentic Polish news reaches us more directly than
through Paris, for the attention which the Poles at
first paid to France has been withdrawn, owing to
a fatal discovery of the duplicity of the French
Cabinet. The French papers do but echo the in-
telligence which we published several days ago;
and, except in some reasonings, are of secondary
importance. France, we regret to say, is now iden-
tified by the friends of liberty as an integral mem-
ber of the Holy Alliance. Italy, Poland, and
Belgium, too palpably confirm the conclusion.

In another column we present our readers with
an extract from the eloquent speech of Mr. SYDNEY
TAYLOR, upon the severity of our criminal laws,
a gentleman, not only qualified by professional
experience as a Barrister to deliver his sentiments
on such an occasion, but who seems to possess a
feeling heart, while he takes comprehensive and
enlightened views on this important subject.
We gave place, in the STAR of Saturday last,
to the Newspaper report of public proceedings in
the Vestry of St. Luke's, relative to what passed
between Dr. Rica and the Bishop of LONDON,
concerning the Reform Bill ; and, also, to an
amended report, proceeding evidently from Fulham.
There the matter might have ended ; but, as the affair
has been generally noticed in the Provincial Papers,
and appears to have created much public interest,
we have re-perused his Lordship's (or his Chap-
lain's) statement, and really feel surprise at its
admissions. This, and other cases, including that
Of a Mr. PRITCHARD, a Partisan of Mr. NV E I. L FS-
LET'S, who had for several yinre held a voidable
Living, merits a Parliamentary Enquiry ; for, as a
a learned and able Churchman miy be a very un-
sound politician, we think his influence in Church
affairs ought not to be directed to politics. The
Bishop tells us, " that having hail his attentions
directed to a report, he sent for Dr. Rica." But
what was this report? —an anonymous or fictitiously
signed letter of some unknown, concealed person ;
are these times when such accusers of the brethren
should be attended to, should be gratified with
such prompt attention, by our lofty diocesans ?
whose relation to their clergy, or flock, should
render them their defenders and protectors. And
by what authority did the Bishop of London send
for Dr. Rice ? The Bishop of London knows that
he is not Dr. Rice's Ordinary. Was not this, to
act much like an ecclesiastical meddler, or busy-
body in other men's matters?
And then he stated that he had no right to in-
terfere with the political opinions of any of his
Clergy—no desire to prevent the expression of
those opinions in any manner consistent with the
clerical character. Was it, indeed, so important
and necessary for him to state this negative to a
Clergyman who is not one of his Clergy ? " But
he felt himself bound to censure an application
of the most sacred terms, which was little short of
profane." Bound to obtrude into the jurisdiction
—!o n531111H) the authority—to pronounce a cen-

sure, which to pronounce, belonged to the functiai
of another Ordinary.
And what is the application of the most sacred
terms, which is little short of profane? The au-
thorized statement, says " the BISHOP, ha% in 2
had his attention directed to the report of a pubi.i.
meeting in the parish of St. Luke," from which it
appears, " Dr. RICE, the Curate, told the persons
present, that their political Messiah was come "
And is it on account of his having employ
such a phrase as this, at a public meeting, that a
man is to be stigmatized as such a gross ofethr'
The meeting was held for a political purpose, in the
parish of which Dr. RICE is the officiating clergy-
man ; where is the harm of his haring told tht,
persons present, at such a meeting, that thou
political Messiah was come.

Who are they " that make a man an offender for
a word ? "—as if nothing but profligacy of conduct
could sink a man lower in episcopal estimation
than the employment of such a phrase ! Oh, how•
would the profligate perpetrators of sensual, of fit.
cular, and spiritual wickedness, in high stations in
our Church, console themselves with such dictum
trom the episcopal chair ?
Then, for the Curate of the parish "to run the
risk, whatever side he might espouse, of utterimr,
such things—of taking a prominent part in public
discussions !" We could point his Lordship to
many hoary Curates, who want no dignity of cha-
racter, no virtues, no Christian graces, no attain-
ments, no qualifications of any kind, to make them
Bishops, but to possess a patron of sufficient
power.

It might be worth while, perhaps, to enquire
what the Doctor meant, more exactly, to tell the
people, at the public meeting, when he announced
to them that their political Messiah was come.
Did he mean to tell them that the King, or the
Minister, was their political Messiah ? Perhaps
he did not, in the warmth of spontaneous speaking,
very accurately distinguish, which he meant to de-
signate as occupying that very high office; or
whether he ,meant to point to the King, the Mi-
nistry, and the Reform Bill.
Yet a man could not talk such nonsense, as to
tell the people that the Reform Bill was their po-
litical Messiah. But, if Dr. Rtca should employ
such phrases in future, the Bishop will know what
to do. Though not one pin may the Doctor cars
for any threats, or any resentment.
