LANDSEER v. ROBINSON.

A letter has been published by the defendant in this case, itt which
he states, that he was taken by burpri#e at tic trial, by tae production
of the anonymous letter, of which, however, he denies all knowledge,
and states his intention of moving fora new trial, when he expects to be
able to place his conduct in the affair in very different eadours from
those which it assumed at the trial on Friday.
We have also received a letter from a gentleman, she imp. he is a

ENGLISH PORTRAITS.

The collection of drawings made by NI, ssrs. Harding and leptird,
from portraits illustrative of English history, was opened yesterday for
private view, previous to its being submitted, for the season, to general
inspettior. Some drawinAs have been added, which are quite.equal, in
point of execution and perhaps of superior ;ntereat *a those which have
before cxhibiled. lfhe additions conhist chiefly or the statesmen •
the reign of Queen Anne, and her immcdiete successors, and of dia.e
admirals whose names have become ' Stalin: • as household words' in
the memory of Englishment, and are connected with some of the most
important achievements of British courege and skill. Hood, Neli.on,
Rodney, and others of like fame are presented, and the drawings of
them are not only beautiful specimens of art, but they have the merit of
conveying in each inatence a most spirited and entreat notion of the
paintingwfrom which they have been copied. Tie whole of the collee-
don is highly interesting, and, considering the useful illustration which
it affords to English history, as well as Its pictorial merits, would no
doubt be very attractive, even if it was plated on the "Abe footing as
other exhibitions, instead of the admission being, as It is, gratuf•ons.

VALUE OP MUSICAL NOTES.—Stephen Storace had a
remarkably good head for figures. When a boy, his passion
for calculation was beyond all belief. Michael Kelly says he
has been known to multiply four figures by four figures by
mentory, in three minutes. When young, Kelly tells us,
Storace was so astonished that 50 guineas should be paid for
singing a song, that he counted the notes in it, and calculated
the amount of each at 4s. 10d. This passion for calculating
'!be value of notes (musical ones) has seized a Parisian dilet-
tante, who, according to the Furet de Londres, has been
Axing the price of every note and rest in certain pieces
idwd by Paganini recently, at a concert given at the Opera
at Paris, which produced him 16,600 francs. This may be
play to Paganini, but destruction to less fortunate musicians,
for he swallows up all that would otherwise be distributed
among many. An English violinist must work many long
laborious days and nights before he can scrape together 6871.
sterling, the sum, it seems, which the lucky Italian gets by
a single concert !—Dilettante in Harmonicon for May 1.
OBSERVATIONS ON THE INFLUENCEOF COLD ON Nam.-
BORN CHILDREN.-Dr. Trevison has been making re-
searches in Italy, principally at Castel Franco, analogous
to those of Messrs. Villerrai and Milne Edwards, in
France. The conclusions at which he arrives are—in
Italy, of 100 infants born in December, January, and
February, 66 die in the first month, 15 more in the
course of the year, and 19 survive ; of 100 born in spring,
48 survive the first year ; of 100 born in summer,
83 survive the first year; of 100 born in autumn, 58 sur-
vive the same period. He attributes this mortality of in-
fanta solely to the practice of exposing. them to the oald air
a few days after their birth, for the purpose of haviag them
baptised at the church. Dr. Trevison, as well as MM. Mike
Edwards and Villerm4, calls the attention of the eccleiias-
tical authority to measures suited to put a stop to such disas
iters, without violating the prece,:ts o • practices of relig. n

THE EVENING STAR.

LONDON.

MONDAY, MAY 16.

Yesterday evening His Lxcellency Lord PoiisoN BY,
Minister Plenipotentiary at Brussels, arrived at the Foreign
Office, in Downing-street.

This day the usual de patches from their Excel-
lencies Lord GRANVILLE, our Ambassador at Paris; and
from Sir CHARLES B A GOT, our Ambassador at the Hague,
were received at the Foreign Office.
This day also despatches were received at the Colonial
Office, from Lieut.-Colonel ARTH ult, Lieutenant-Governor
of Van Diemen's Land, dated the 23d November.

The reports from the seats of contest continue to be satis-
factory. Cornwall, .Dorsetshire, and Northamptonshire, are
safe. Shropshire presents a singular picture, in having
Messrs. H!LL and PELHAM at the head of the poll; and
why it is difficult to explain. At Dublin some increase of
funds gave an ascendancy to the anti-reformers, on the last
reported day's poll; and Mr. WALLACE has to contend at
Drogheda against a host of artifices. Public spirit, howe-
ver, rises over them every where, and will doubtless do so in
Dublin and Drogheda. We are still satisfied, that in the
parliamentary divisions, the majority for the bill will exceed
those opposed to it, by above two.hundred votes. The vic-
tory is gained and complete ; but the defeated still linger in
certain points of the field, displaying more rage and obsti-
nacy, than prudence or wisdom.

The Paris Papers which we have received this morning,
convey two articles of intelligence, which must afford, to every
liberal mind, very great pleasure. It will be perceived by our
exclusive extracts, that in consequence of the united represen-
tations of the foreign Ministers at the Court of Rome, his
HOLINESS had come to a resolution, to grant an amnesty to
the unfortunate Italian patriots. We hope it will include the
whole now in prison, and lately put on their trial. It is grati-
fying to observe, that the English minister has been active in
bringing about this good object; and it is tobe anxiously hoped
that similar, at once wise and humane policy, will be urged
on the Duke of Monzzit., and the other Italian Princes,
into whose hands the enterprising fugitives may have fallen.
The other article of news to which we allude, is con-
tained in an extract from Le Temps, quoting and con-
firming a paragraph from Le Courrier Francais ; and
if true, may be considered the most interesting piece of in-
telligence lately received. A CONGRESS, in the course of a
month, will be held in London, to arrange such inter-
national questions, as appear likely to originate dis-
sentient in Europe, either between States, or the dif-
ferent Sovereigns and their people. It is, in all probability,
on this ground, that a considerable improvement has taken
place in the French and British Funds, as will be seen by
our City article.
We have arrivals to-day from Paris, Hamburgh, and the
Netherlands. France is imitating the English Government,
and a squadron has sailed from Toulon for Lisbon, to demand
satisfaction for various outrages committed by the usurped
and unacknowledged government in Portugal. As neither
England nor France recognize MIGUEL, so having no Am-
bassador at Lisbon, to protect subjects against lawless
outrage, negociation is carried on with such a government at
the cannon's mouth. The details may appear frivolous in a
national sense, and in public diplomacy, merely because such
matters are usually discussed in the closet of Ambassadors.
We may hope that a succession of British, French, and
American squadrons will expose the tyrant to such general
contempt among his own subjects, as will lead to his speedy
overthrow.

The Belgic Papers speak confidently of the accession of
Prince LEOPOLD to that throne, which the allies have
created, and hitherto have not agreed how to fill. It is in
vain to speculate on a subject which depends, first, on elec-
tion,
and then on the intrigues of courts, and the contradic-
tory policy of Statesmen. There are, however, rumours of
a congress of the great Powers, to adjust various European
questions ; but ;as Austria takes the lead, it does not seem
likely to satisfy the new and powerful influence of the people.
The Hamburgh Papers confirm the satisfactory reports
from Poland, of the retreat of the Russians to the Bug, and
of their abandonment of their numerous sick and wounded.
It confirms also the statements, relative to the organized
character of the insurrections in Lithuania and Samogitia, In
truth, there appears little probability, that the authority
of Russia can be maintained in any part of ancient Poland.
The Emperor may not want men, but he will want soldiers ;
for the elite of his army have perished in Poland. We col-
lect from the accounts, that the retreat of DIEBITSCH to-
wards, and into Volbynia, has compelled Dwane ECKI, with
his Guerilla corps, to fall back towards Zamosc, and some
accounts say into Austrian Gallicia ; but this may refer only
to a small division.

The Chanticleer has arrived at Falmouth, from a three
years' voyage of philosophical observation in the Atlantic ;

and she brings the agreeable intelligence, that the Port uguese
loyalists, who hold Terceira for the Queen, have emanci-
pated Pico, and are preparing to attack Faye! and St.
Michael's, so as to rescue the whole of the Azores from the
hated domination of M IG U EL.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE EXCLUSIVE.
FOR THE STAR.

PARIS, MAT 14.

Si ll—Since the troops have been removed from the Place
Vendome, all has been tranquil—there has scarcely been
any assemblages around the column more than in ordinary
times; and unless Government had some sinister design in
view, by displaying a military force against the people, in
order to furnish some plea in the ensuing elections, it must
be convinced of the folly of its recent proceedings.
Unhappily, these experiments are not made without blood-
shed. Several of the National Guards have been wounded
by stones ; and, in return, the Guards have severely wounded
several of their fellow-citizens. All this might have been
easily avoided. The Guards, in many instances, acted un-
der very excited feelings, and often interfered where no in-
terference was at all called for—marching in close bodies at
ten o'clock at night, and arresting the progress of those who
were peaceably walking about. Wednesday evening last, I
was sauntering with a friend at that hour, and observing the
Guards coming, and taking up the whole path, which is very
wide, we moved towards the road ' • but an officer and some
men ran and seized us, forced us back, and maid we must
go home immediately. We certainly did not obey such a
mandate ; and an hour after, the soldiers having retired, the
streets in all directions were perfectly tranquil.
An ordonnance in the Moniteur this day, gives a supple-
mentary list of those who are to receive the decoration of
July, amounting to 169, in addition to the list of 1528, al.
ready published. Another ordonnance gives the form of the
medal, which is to be distributed according to the law of the
13th Dec. 1830. It represents the Gallic cock, surrounded
by a crown of oak, with this inscription —" a sea defen-
seurs la Patrie reeonnaisante ;" on the reverse, three
crowns of laurels interlaced with the motto :—" 27th, 28th,
and 29th July, 1830, Patrie, Liberty," and the words—
" Donne par le Roi des Francais,"—the medal to
be suspended by a tri-coloured ribband. The Moni-
teur also contains a report to the King, from the presi-
dent of the Council, stating that as the number of
crosses prepared is not equal to the number of citizens to be
decorated, and as a delay will necessarily take place before
all is completed, the President of the Council suggests,
that the occasion of the review, which will take place
on Sunday, will afford his Majesty a brilliant op-
portunity of delivering into the hands of the Mayors
of the different aron&sements the crosses already pre-
pared ; in order that they may deliver them in the name
of his Majesty, to those entitled to receive them—thus mak-
ing the National Guards of Paris and the Banlieus, wit-
nesses of the distributions of the recompences, many of whom
are entitled to receive them ; and at the same time it will be
a means of satisfying the laudable impatience which is ma-
nifested, by the citizens whose names have appeared in the
official list.

An ordonnance of the King approves of this report, and
convokes the mayors of the twelve arondissoments, as well
as the under-prefects, to be present at the review on Sunday,
to receive from the King the crosses, which are after-
wards to be delivered in the King's name, to the citizens
deemed worthy to receive them, upon their taking the
required oath. The King has by this method got
clear of the ceremony to have taken place at the Hotel des
Invalides ; and it remains to be seen whether the citizens
will take the oath required. There is something of a clap-
trap business in this Sunday ceremony, the King being
on the eve of his departure, and the fulsome praise
which is so lavishly bestowed upon all the National
Guards has, no doubt, suggested to M. Casimir Perier,
that the present was the most favourable opportunity that
could be afforded. As to the business being hastened, in
order to satisfy the honourable impatience of the candidates
for the decoration, is rather stating too much; as they have
not only protested against receiving it, in the manner pre-
scribed, but have actually decorated themselves. I shall
inform you of the proceedings of Sunday, which are looked
forward to with some curiosity.

Several letters have been addressed to the different Jour-
nals, from some of those who were wounded in the late tu-
mult, demading " whether they are in the streets of Con-
stantinople, or in Paris ?" I forward the latest Journals, as
usual ; and remain, your's respectfully,

the tranquillity has not been again troubled. The garrison is com-
posed of three regiments. Many troops are bearing upon Willennen

it is said, equally peaceable, and strong passages of troops have taken

Roxe, APRIL 30.—The party of Indulgence was carried in the
Congregations ut the Cardinal, • the Government has just granted an
extended amnesty ; the Holy Father, who hiniself was tie most in.
dined to the indulgence, was supported b" the Foreign Ministers, and
even by the Secretary of State, Cardinal Bcrnetti. It required thdr
united efforts, for the struggle of opinions was very serious; we have
reason to &juice that nearly all the Foreign Ministers, who had received
new instructions, were united to obtain this end, and that success has
clowned their efforts. The amnesty will appear next Monday; it is
founded upon a very liberal basis.
Those who have quitted may return, having been judged according to
the existing laws ; those who have signed the act of the dismirdoo of
the Pope, and officers above the grade of Captain, who have changqd
their cockade, will alone be expected from the amnesty. There will be
few individuals attained by this clause, since they have nearly all emi.
grated. In fact, the amnesty is as complete as could be hoped ; it
strongly contrasts with the cruelties of the Duke of Modena. lloe Mu.
seum of the Vatican is reopened, and they have promised to open the thee.
tre ; but the changes in the administration, which is expected are
matters of much more importance; it is to be wished that the Foreign
Blinisters will exercise also in this sense some influence. We are as.
'tired that the greatest part of the fugitive prisoners which the Aus.
miens made before Ancona, and conducted to Venice, have been set at
liberty—most of them have gone to Corfu. General Zucchi has been
retainri. Toe Ambassador of France has made new representations on
the evacuation of Ancona by the Austrians; he has even sent his son
to Ancona, to know the situation of that place.
Roue' MAY 2.—The only armed force which is now at Rome Is
imposed of a hundred men, cavaliers, fusiliers, and grenadiers. The
civic guards have nearly all refused to perform the service. However,
to stimulate the zeal of the dawns, the authorities have announced
that the first who shall present themselves, armed and equipped at
their own expense, will be named officers. That measure
base answered to a certain degree; that is to say, the of-
ficers are nearly all filled up; but it is not exaggerating
to say, that they are at this moment more numerous than the col.
diers. To complete this organisation, ;they have just enrolled the cen.
demned to the genies, and other malefactors, who have arrived from the
provinces, where they were finishing in the prisons their time of condem-
nation. It is with such expedients the Pope would form the pollee.
Every day we see appear new orders, of which the severity gradually in.
creases, and which produces but little result, because the means of exe.
entice still nearly entirely faiL In the interim, arrests continue
in the provinces. The number of patriots who have been cited be-
fore the civil commissions is immense, and these commissions have
orders to judge in the shortest time possible. It is just to say, that all
this is done in spite of the reclamation. of Cardinal Denvenuti, who
protests against the non.performance of the capitulation of Ancona,
by affirming that he signed it freely, and in the intimate convic-
tion that he was rendering, at the same time, a service to the Pope
and to the country. There prevails at Rome great movements
amongst the Diplomatists ; we see many couriers arrive, the
greater part dispatched by the French Government, there an
sometimes three arrive in one day. The Ambassadors exchange
numerous visits with Cardinal Bernetti. M. de St. Artisan ap en.
tirely to ages with that prelate, and with the Pope hi . This
diplomatist passes a great part of his days with Cardinal Rotten and
his sister. We have here an English Envoy Extraordinary ;we are
assured that he pleads forcibly the cause of the patriots; and, in truth,
we have much more to hope now from the politics of the King of
England, than from that of the sons.of the Revolution of July.

FRONTIRIS Or GALLICIA, APRIL !7.—Only vague and mys
tartans notices from the neighbourhood of Zamosc, and of which but
a :few persons, had any knowledge, pee reason to conjecture, about
the end of March, that Dwerneeki had not given up the plan of a bold
but haserdous excursion into Volkynis and Podolia, where be might
expect to be well received by many secret partisans, Podolia being full
of Polish nobles and their adherents. Till the 20th in the evening, we
know only that Dwetnecki had arrived at Dorosnel, on the &yr,
and had there had an action on the 18th with General Rafter's
corps, In which be took eight pieces of cannon, a quantity of arms
and hones, and releasing the prisoners, after taking away their
arms. The Polish loss, in killed and wounded, is said
to be several hundred men. On the list, in the morning,
some detachments of the Polish infantry and cavalry Belated the Aus.
trims posts, and took possession of the Russian frontier. They were
received in as friendly a manner by the Authorities as was consistent
with the relations with Ramis, and heartily greeted by the inhabitants.

On this day, there being no Custom House °fawn on the
frontier, advantage was immediately taken of the circumstance,
as every one expected, that the old system of rigorous prohibition %oak
soon return. In fact the Poles retired soon after midnight towards Pe-
dolls ; and at noon some of General Rudigu's detachments were soon
near Radziwillow. On the 23d both parties removed entirely from the
main road, so that the communication was restored, and the Russians
again occupied the frontiers and the custom.bouses. The day before
yesterday we heard a cannonade, and it is reported that that the Poles
gained some:aduntage between Kolodno and Ribosice, over General
Rudiger, who follows him, and had taken five cannon. It is said
that Dwernecki has left 2,000 men in a strong position to occupy Ru-
digey's corps, while lie advances with his main force to act against
General Roth, who is coming hum Kaminies so meet him : he i. pro.

wounded were brought to Zbnross,who, as well as others shut havebeen
brought to the Austrian territory, experience the most friendly atten-
tion, which is equally proved by the numerous Russian fugitites and
wounded.

VIENNA, MET 4.—News has been received from Gallicia, through
the Commander of the frontier corps, that the position of Dwerneeki
has become extremely critical, in consequence of the unfavourable re-
sult of an maim which took place uu the 30th April, near Kruminies,

VIENNA, MAT s.—The morning before yesterday, news was
brought from Lemberg to the Anlie Council of War, that General
Dwerneciti, with 4000 men and 17 pieces of cannon, had entered the
Austrian territory, and asked protection against the Russians, which
was granted to him, according to the existing regulations. The corps
of General Rudiger, who pursued him, had passed to some distance over
the Austrian frontier, and continued the engagement till the Austrian
officer on the spot advanced with a squadron of Hussars, and threw
himself between the combatants, to make them cease firing. The ap.
pearance of Austrian troops produced its effect : the Poles retreated fur.
ther into the country, and the Russians did not hinder or pursue them.
It seems that the frontier at Klibanowka, in the circle of Tarnopol
where the Poles broke into Gallic* is not clearly marked, for General
Rudiger afterwards sett an apology, founded on this circumstance, for
having entered the neutral territory. At the first moment the arms
were not taken from the Polish troops. It is not known what orders are
given respecting the Polish fugitives, but we know that our prudent
and humane Government will not consent to give them up. It is sup.
posed, with good reason, that the soldiers will be quartered by comps.
nies in the country, and that placesof abode will be assigned to the AR.
eers in the provincial towns of Inner Austria. Meantime measures are
taken for the support and care of the sick and wounded, and nothing
that humanity presents is neglected. The defeat of Gen. Sierawski
exposed Dwernecki, and placed him in a most aitical .ituation, espe.
daily as he met with but few adberelits in Volhytais. All Dwernecki's
efforts to escape his very superior enemy (during the last 12 days of
their march, in which they were contiuuidly harassed, the Poles marched
daily 7 German, 32 English, miles,) were in vain, when he found him.

cularly as regards the great rise of the French rents., about
