Some farther short delay appears still likely to occur'
in his MAJESTY'S long intended visit to the City. His
MAJESTY, we assure the Public, has resolved to gratify
his loyal subjects in the Metropolis, as early as certain
other engagements will conveniently admit. We are
happy to add, that his MAJESTY is in the enjoyment
of most excellent health.

The Paris papers, received by the Estafette this mom-1
ing, contain one or two paragraphs, which our Readers
will find in our selections, evincing some suspicion that
Austria is about to assume an attitude inconsistent with

the preservation of Continental peace.—lt is difficult to
explain on what principle that Power acts ; but we should
imagine the contagion of Polish principles is beginning
to be felt nearer to Prince METTERNICH, than is found

quite agreeable. The stoppage of the Italian insurrection
so successfully, it might have been supposed, would have
satisfied the Austrians, without fresh enterprizes. A few
days will explain the mystery.

An unexpected and most glorious victory has been ob-
tained at Liverpool. In the first day's poll, Gen. GAS-
coroNE was the astonishing number of 970 behind his
opponents! Mr. Ew ART polled 1384, Mr. DENISON, 1374,
and the unfortunate General but 405 !! As it was ex.
pected he has since resigned, for but one voice pre-
vails in that fine population, whether among its in-
habitants, or the privileged electors ; who, till ,now,
had formed a phalanx of corruption and subserviency.
The General was but a secondary man in the House; but as
an opponent of reform, he ranked with the HART DA VISES,
the BANK ES ES, and others of the Pitt school. Perhaps he
would rather have died of apoplexy, instead of his name-
sake, the Colonel, than have lived to suffer such a political
apoplexy:
' Leicester has done its duty, and its close corporation, so
very distinguished over all others, has been foiled, by its
candidate, Mr. TADDY, refusing to go to the poll, by
which Messrs. Ev ANS and Et.tts, two reformers, are sent
to Parliament.
Mr. Ma DO X has started for Merionethshire, to enable the
Welsh to distinguish their questioned patriotism ; for in re-
presentation, Wales and Scotland were becoming synoni-
mous, and its spirited freeholders seemed to be in danger of
being bought and sold like their own cattle.
Huntingdonshire is also to be contested, and Mr. ROOT tit,
a country gentleman, distinguished in the county for his
spirit and patriotism, is the Candidate against Lord MAW-
naviLts, eldest eon of the Duke of MANCHESTER—a,
family which has long treated the county as a rotten bo-
rough. The anxiety for success will be increased by the
ignominy with which the late borough return has covered
the very name of Huntingdon. Lord STRATH A V EN, the
other candidate, voted for the Bill. •
As the triumph of a public question, we may exultingly,
refer to Newark, where Serjeant WILDE, in the very teeth
of .the Newcastle interest, has been, by the virtue of the
electors, placed at the head of the poll ; and the second, Mr.
HANDLET voted for the bill, while Sir B. GRESLEY, the
Duke's avowed nominee, who voted against the bill, boo
been ejected.
So at Stamford,. Mr. Tim:Toon, in defiance of the local
influence of the Exeter family, outrageously exerted, has
ousted Mr. Ca •PLIK, who voted for the bill.
An equally great triumph is that of Sir G. Roamer
and Mr. V. SMITH, at Northampton (for it may be ecnk-
sidered decided), over the grossest calumniator of the Mk'

Y .....

Sir R. GUNNING, among a constituency which till lately
was the most aristocratic in the kingdom.
The brilliant success of Maws. MORRISON and WMION,
at Ipswich, and of Messrs. &Lica and Bu LW ER, at Co-
ventry, is in like manner a subject for congratulation..
Warwick also presents a promising aspect.
Success attends cordial coalition every where. We are
sorry to see that it is equivocal at COLCHESTER and at
TEWK ESBURY, where there seems to be more personal am-
bition to head the poll, than to serve the public cause.—
Plumpers ought to be refused, and split votes between both
interests despised. The victory should be gained on prin-
ciple, or it is no victory. In this election there is no sen-
sible or honest mean.

As the returns of the four first days of the election, ex-
hibit an increase of upwards of from 40 to 48 Reformers,
and as we presume the counties will afford an increase of
20, and other places at least 20 more, so there will be an
increase of good votes of about 84 English Members. If
IRELAND adds 14, and SCOTLAND only 6, the increase
will therefore be full 104. Then considering that the 658
were equally divided in the last Parliament, or 329 each way,
the Reformers in the New Parliament will be 433,
and the Anti-reformers but 22.5. The success of
the bill is therefore assured. This statement, however,
justifies the numbers promulgated in 1793, by the friends
of the people ; and nothing but the unanimity of the pub-
lic press, and the increased general intelligence, forced into
action by taxes and suffering, could have attained such a
majority. During the struggle, the close corporations, mu-
nicipal and clerical, have resisted the voice of the nation,
and the patriotism of the KING, with the same virulence as
the borough patrons themselves ; and therefore an act of
Parliament, as popular even as the reform bill itself,
will be 'due to the people, to throw open all close
corporations. The inhabitant householders ought every
where to be enabled to elect the corporation, and to
fill up vacancies; and till this is the practice, local magis-
tracy will be a caricature, and obstinately inimical to all im-
provement.

r-
In Nottinghamshire a requisition is signing to petition the
KING, to remove the Duke of NEWCASTLE from the LORD
LIEUTENANCY; and no doubt great changes of this kind
are demanded, with a view to the improvement of the Ma-
gistracy, and the utter exclusion of those amphibious cleri-
cal Magistrates. If the Church is endangered, it is only
by its aiming at secular, as well as spiritual power. A clerical
Magistrate always doubles the number of Methodists and sec-
taries in his vicinity : yet they are prime favourites with Tory
Lord Lieutenants, and the Church itself never protests against
as assumption;of secular power, utterly inconsistent with its
appropriate spiritual ascendancy. It is abuses which beget
the necessity of reform ; while the want of moderation and
respect for public opinion, in the use of power, generates
a re-action, which is always in danger of exceeding the cause.
Dr. SPARKES of Ely, and the Clerical Bench at Glouces-
ter, have created more reformers than CARTW RIGHT ; and
the Duke of NEWCASTLE and the Marquess of EXETER,
more than COnBETT.
The North is as much alive as the South, and the East
as the West. It is one universal triumph of patriotism ;
and the wretched boroughmongers seem to be hunted like
foxes, or baited like badgers, wherever they appear; and
even in their own dens—the rotten boroughs—they are ob-
liged to escape by back doors, from the hisses, groans, and
hootings of the people.
Having followed the returns day by day, and compared
them with the red and black lists, we are enabled to contra-
dict the statements in some of the Papers about the majority
acquired thus far. There were yesterday 33 new members,
all favourable to the Bill, and substituted for opponents;
and though there are 15 or 16 new members on the other
side, they are mere changes among the opponents. Hence,
the 33 for the Bill are a clear gain, and of course as taken
from the other side, make a difference of 66 in the Parlia-
mentary divisions.
The returns to-day add one new friend for NEWARK,
One for STAMFORD, IWO for MAIDSTONE, one for Irawicir,
probably one for NORTHAMPTON, and five or six others; in
all ten new and good men, in place of bad ones ejected,
while the cause has lost, but one at DURHAM; for at HUN-
TINGDON, two tories are substituted for other two, 'and at
WINCHESTER we have one East for another East. The
choppings and changes among the tories, owing to wrang-
ling about the price, has no effect; while hitherto, except
in the single case of DURHAM, if Mr. TAYLOR was
sound, no instance has occurred of a popular candidate being
ejected by a tory. In every instance, therefore, in' which
a tory is ejected by a reformer, it makes a difference in the
majority and minority.

The express from Paris seems to be of a warlike ten-
dency, in regard to the views of Austria.
The Citizens are much disappointed, that ou; Patriot
sing will not dine with them on the 20th inst.
Consols, which left off yesterday at 80, for the account,

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

The Rio Janeiro papers states, that a prospectus for es-
tablishing a Banking Company there for the purpose of u-
sisting the Government of Brasil to recruit their finances,
and of securing the punctual payments of dividends on the
loans, had been received by the last packet from England.
It proposes that a company should be formed whose capi-
tal was to be one million sterling.
Consols which were done in the early part of the morning
at 80i for the account, have receded to 80&. A good deal
of stock has been thrown on the market.

CITY REPOILT,—We are exceedingly sorry to state that
a letter ip in town from Paris, stating the unwelcome in-
' formation, that the brave Poles have experienced two de.
feats by the Russiaas ; and at , the tame the account let
Warms. they were making every preparation to receive the
!teenier' with =obstinate resistance. We hope this Wel-
ligeseetill set be confirmed.

ITALY.
FERRARA, APEX 21.—0 n the 18th, troubles burst out
at Femme, whieb it without Austrian garrison. The work-
men of the Faubourgs took arms, and commenced arresting
the citizens without distinction. The Pontifical guard, which
has begun to organize, dispersed the seditious ; but on both
sides shots were fired, and both have had killed and wounded.
On the 19th, the workmen of the Faubourg wished to re-
new the attack ; but an Austrian column having arrived at
'mole at break of day, the troubles ceased. The Austrians
at present only occupy Ancona and Bologna ; but they tra-
verse all the country on this side of the Appenines with small
columns, and maintain tranquillity by these measures.—
Gazette d'Augsbourg.
Despatches from our ambassador at Vienna, Marshal
Maison, arrived last night, announce that the Austrian
army assembled upon the frontier of Italy has just received
its last organization for entry on a campaign ; that the divi-
sions and brigades are formed, the military hospitals esta-
blished, and every thing attached to the different corps.
Marshal Maison colds that there is not a moment to lose in
putting in a state of defence our frontier of the Alps. It is
announced that after the communications of these dispatches,
orders, have been forwarded to our troops assembled upon the
Vau to form themselves immediately in corps of army.—
