given every satisfaction upon this point, which will lender
disposable the forces of Russia stationed in the South.
We shall have thus, by this deplorable condescen-
tion, encreased the army which fights against Po-
land; we dial' have reinforced the ranks of the barbarians;
and prepared the ruin of those who served us in the North
against despotism. In every case the recal of the army of
Bassorabia proves the poverty in which the Czar finds himself.
This government has not such immense resources, since it
is obliged to strip one frontier, to throw its troops upon ano-
ther. This determination proves that NICHOLAS believes
affairs to be in rather a grave state in Lithuania and Volby-
pia, since it requires such immense masses of troops to be
forwarded by forced marches."
This extract from the Courtier Francais, which, we be-
lieve, with much other curious Foreign intelligence, will be
found exclusively in the STAR of this day, merits so much,
the attention of our Readers, that we have given it a place II
in this department of our Paper, est it should escape notice.

The popular excitement in the home and midland counties
is equal to any that has been displayed in any part of the king-
dom. That in the agricultural counties of Essex, Hunting-
donshire, Bedfordshire, Northamptonshire, and Bucking-
ham, is without parallel, in intensity and universality. In
other neighbouring counties public spirit has appalled the
proud ascendancy of the RUTLAND family; and Lord
CHARLES SOMERSET MANNERS has retreated from
Cambridgeshire without adventuring a poll, while Lord
ROBERT MANNERS has also retreated from Leicestershire,
leaving the field to two reformers in both counties.
Essex presents a contrast, but every prospect of success
to Messrs. WESTERN and WELLESLEY ; though the friends
of Colonel TYRRELL persuade him to render their defeat'.
more conspicuous.
In Huntingdonshire where no contest has for a century
been favourable to a Patriotic Candidate, owing to the
ascendancy of two or three families in so small a county,
on this great occasion, Mr. ROOPEK has been placed by the
Yeomanry at the head of the poll, ejecting Lord
STRATHAVEN, who, after voting for the Bill,
hoped to recommend himself to the Aristocracy,
by an address declaring himself against it. Mr..
ROOFER was then brought forward at an hour's notice'
and, in spite of concentrated interests, has been for three
days at the head of the poll, being on Saturday night no less
than 268 a head of Lord STRATIIAVEN, and having had out
of 841 votes, no less than 508 plumpers.
In Bedfordshire the cause is equally triumphant ; and on
Saturday night the re-election of Mr. STUART was hopeless,l
and Sir PETER PAYNE will add another to county mem-
bers who support the bill.
In Buckingham, the public cause is so far unpromising ;
and we have to lament, that Mr. GRENFELL came so late
into the field. A victory over STOWE would be desirable, but
if gained, it would be a political surfeit. We can afford to
concede to accidental circumstances, some five or six County
Members, out of the 91 in England and Wales.
Northamptonshire, hitherto so subservient, is gloriously
redeeming its public credit, and is indebted to the spirit of
Lord MILTON, who, with Lord ALTHORP, are sure to beat
Mr. CA RTW RIG HT. The numbers on Saturday night were,
Lord Althorpo
Lord Milton
And Mr. Cartwright

We have no doubt that Gloucestershire, Devonshire,
Cornwall, and Cheshire,will act in unison with the sentiment,
which has gloriously distinguished all the other English
counties.
