THE EVENING STAR.

This day the Right Honourable Lord HILL, as Com-
mander-in-Chief of the Forces, held a Levee at his Office
in the Horse Guards, at which the following General and
other Officers attended :

The Allgemeine Zeitung of the 24th ultimo, received
this day, contains another Manifesto by the Emperor Nr-
CHOLAS. Its purport is communicated in one brief sen-
tence—" If the Poles," says the Autocrat, " arm against
Russia—if they come forward to combat against their
Sovereign—it is then themselves— their own cannon—that
overthrows Poland." Nevertheless, the Poles continue to
struggle for their emancipation, and the good wishes of
every right-minded man in Europe accompany them.

The Paris Journals of Tuesday and yesterday are received
this day ; from which we find the probabilities of war every
day becoming stronger. The Morning Herald, in a late
edition, gives an extract from the Journal des Delats,
maintaining, that the responsibility of having com-
menced war, is incurrred by Austria :—" The entrance
of a single Austrian regiment, into any of the re-
volted Italian States, will be regarded as an act of
hostility to Fiance." Accounts of unsuccesful Carlist
movements, in the provinces, continue to reach Paris ; but
the capital itself is tranquil. A council had recently been
held, composed of the heads of the military, civil, and po-
lice departments—Generals LEBAIJ, and PAJOL, and the
Prefets of the Seine and Police---4t which the moat deter-
mined measures to suppress revolt had been resolved upon.

At rather a later hour than usual this day, we received
our Papers and Letters by the Paris Estafette. We now
endeavour to condense the principal contents of them.
The intelligence from Poland contains nothing yet deci-
sive of its fate. From Koningsberg, in Prussia, under date
17th Febr, it is said that the Russian army is only six miles
from Warsaw; and accounts of a decisive battle may be daily
expected. The two opposing armies are reported to be about
equal—two hundred thousand each. The Polish head
quarters are said to be at Okuniew•. The streets of Warsaw
are barricaded, and furnished with cannon ; and the

public buildings are all fortified. An insurrection
Las broken out in Podolia ; and the city of Delta
especially, has become the theatre of bloody scenes.
So much from the Gazette Prusienne de Konings-
berg. In Le Temps, there is a letter from Warsaw,
of July the 15th, describing the enthusiasm which
prevails in that city. It gives an account of the gallant
conduct of General CHLOPICKI, and the advantages
gained by him, and another Polish General, in skirmishes
with the Russians. Another letter in the National con-
firms this account; and adds, that Warsaw had been illu-
minated on the 16th ult.

From Italy, it appears, that an insurrection at Rome had
been subdued ; but the ancient city may still be said to be
in a state of aeige. Le Temps contains a furious denuncia-
tion by Cardinal Beanspri —pro Secretary of State. The
military force at Rome is about 4,500 men; bows made of
tri-coloured ribbons of the Italian republic—white, green, and
red—are constantly scattered about the streets, and public
triks. The amusements of the cati►irals have ceased, and the

• ~,

theatres are closed. A brisk attack was made on the sol-
diers of the POPE, in the Place Colonna, which occasioned
three discharges of muequetry, and the loss of many lives.
We find by the, Avis° of Toulon, inr a letter dated Ge-
noa, the 16th ult, that the Austrian troops occupied
Parma ; and another letter in the Gazette de France, from
Naples of the 17th, contradicts the insurrectionary move-
ment said to have taken place in Sicily. On the Northern
frontier, we find, from the Journal des Debats, that an
Austrian General, who had passed the Po, near Ferrara,
with a considerable force, was compelled, by the National
Guards, to recroes the river.

With respect to affairs in France, we give the following in
the words of our Correspondent :—" We are all here per-
fectly tranquil, though the Government is not without some
alarm of a fresh ebullition. There has been repeated inter-
views with the new Prefect of Police and the Minister of the
Interior ; and yesterday the whole of the troops in Paris
were ordered to keep their barracks. The funds yesterday
experienced a further decline ! the 5 per cents. leaving off
at 90fr. and the 3 per cents. at 55fr. 90c. This was attri-
buted to gambling speculations, but has a very gloomy
appearance. It is not yet known when the Chamber
will be dissolved, some say not for three weeks. The
Ministry promise to hold together, which will be for the
peace of Europe ; for if any change takes place, it will be the'
bear party who will come in."

During the discussion in Parliament, of the great and
vital question now before it, there is not much chance that
other subjects will obtain any considerable share of public
attention ; and, indeed, it is desirable, that the public mind
should be kept intent on the great object, and active in
affording, by every possible means, which can prove efficient,
a full demonstration, that the conduct of the present minis-
ters, in bringing forward a measure so completely to the
satisfaction of the people, has merited support, confidence,
and attachment.

We have thought it our duty to concentrate, under the
head " Perliamentary Reform," during the interval which
has elapsed, previous to the important motion being brought
forward, all the proceedings throughout the country in sup-
port of that measure. We shall now, under the head
" Support of Ministers," which we now consider to mean
the same as support to Reform, concentrate all the public
demonstrations which shall be made in support of the men,
who have realized the hopes of the people, in standing forth
as their champions, in the present struggle with corruption.
The Reform Debate was continued last night on the all-
engrossing topic, and may probably be continued beyond
to night, though there are preparations for a division ; yet
there is so little to oppose, except what may be urged against
all Reform, that the Speakers are chiefly the eulogists of
the measure.

We are most happy to observe, that a meeting of the
Common Hall of London is to be convened to pledge itself
to the support of Ministers ; and we advise Petitioners,
Counties, &c. &c. to assemble, without delay, for the same
purpose. Should the decision be decidedly in favour of the
measure, the victory of the public is proposed to be cele-
brated by a National Festival, and by General Illuminations,
&c. Such a victory over the internal foes of the country,
will be far more worthy of celebration, than all those gained
in wars of doubtful Justice and Necessity.
Mr. HUME led the debate last night, in a speech charac-
terized by his usual point and ingenuity. He eulogized the
plan, as calculated to gratify the people, the Crown, and
the aristocracy ; and stated that the approbation of it seemed
universal.

Some observations of his, in which he Mated that imper-
fections on minor points might be corrected hereafter,
called up Mr. Situa.Ey, who avowed himself an anti-
reformer ; and, therefore, described the measure as productive
of confusion of social order, and the derangement of society.
He then provoked the laughter of the House, by asserting,
that the representatives of close boroughs were the only
true, complete, and independent Members of the House !
Though himself, he said, the representative of one of them,
(Gatton,) he was astonished, on looking around him, to see
the ablest members of that class ; and therefore, amidst their
cheers, be declared that be would not consent to the dis-
franchisement of one of the boroughs.

Mr. BARING WALL lamented that Mr. ►SHELLEY had
obtained so little attention; and compared the boasted
unanimity to that of Puf in the Critic. He then read
passages from the Westminster Review, the Examiner, and
the Edinburgh Review, to show that the proposed charge
would not satisfy; and that it was, in their language, merely
calculated to break in pieces the bonds of society, and
destroy the privileges of the Peerage. He thought that
reform was so busy in every thing, that no enactment was
necessary.

Lord NEWARK approved of the plan, but deprecated the
announcement of Mr. Hume, that it was but the precursor
of others.

Lord DARLINGTON thought the proprietors of disfran-
chized boroughs ought to be compensated, by a rate on
places which acquired the privilege. He thought the system
had worked well.

LOAD EBRINGTON thanked the Cabinet for the plan,
and the KING for his approbation of it. He was a friend to
vote by ballot ; yet be yielded his predilections, and those of
his Constituents, for what he regarded as a great good. He
added his firm belief, that the confidence of the country was
entirely withdrawn from the present House.

Lord Sroamorr deprecated the measure, as pernicious
and revolutionary. His borough was to be disfranchised,
though it had now the same number of votes as anciently.
Wby were Taviatock and Knareaborough to have two mem-
bers ? Scotland, he asserted, would not be satisfied ; and
he concluded by saying, that the measure would upset reli-
gion, and plant atheism in its stead !

sir J. WA Las did not consider the plan as a Reform, but
as an entire change of the Constitution. He thought the
institutions, which suited the age of Enw Aan 111. were not
adapted to 1831. They ought not to give way to popular
clamour. He regarded the threat of dissolution as improper;
hat whichever way they decided, dissolution would follow.

AC.

Mr. MACAULEY thought the plan was the only means of
preventing a revolution.
Lord MAIION objected to the reduction of the number of
Members, and considered the plan as revolutionary.
Mr. HUNT stated. that the plan had exceeded
his expectations, and that no statement had shaken
hie approbation of it. He was sorry, at the same
time, that ballot, and universal suffrage, were not
part of the measure. He spoke, he said, from personal
knowledge, when ho described the inhabitants of close
boroughs as the most ignorant and illiterate in the kingdom.
He had, he said, been accused of addressing rabble; but
he never addressed any rabble so rotten and stinking as the
rabble of Calne. He alluded with great energy to the
sixteen murdered at Manchester, and the six hundred
wounded ; yet no redress was obtained ; and, on the con-
trary, he was sent to prison for two years and a half! He
considered the measure, as the only one which could pre-
vent a revolution, and sat down amidst loud cheers.

Lord MOUPEBII gave the measure his cordial support,
and spoke with contempt of Gatton and Old Sarum.

Sir C. WETHERELL rose to make what he considered a
dying speech, as the dying member for Boroughbridge.
He deprecated the disfranchisement of 120 Corporations;
yet he asked why Caine was not of the number ? He ob-
jected, at this time, to an experimental constitution; and
stated, amidst great laughter and much cheering, that
Russell's Purge, like Pride's Purge, was to exclude 168
members.

The ATTORN EY-GEN ERA L replied with his usual elo-
quence; and stated, among other points, that the Bill was
merely to be regarded as a Bill of Pains and Penalties,
against persons who had made a trade of their votes.

At half-past one the House adjourned.

SUPPORT OF MINISTERS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR.
SlR,—The firm manner in which you have advocated the
measure of Reform, from the very commencement of its be-
coming so popular a theme, and the concise and succinct ac-
count you have furnished or the numerous meetings held on
this subject, leads me to trust you will aid the cause still
further, by impressing on the p*'blic the necessity of
immediately calling public meetings, to congratulate and
thank Ministers, for their decisive, efficient, and satis-
factory- measure. A general illumination has also been
hinted at; which, could it be accomplished, would pro-
duce a good elect, and which I have no doubt you will
recommend. Trusting that every Englishman will rally
around the standard of Reform, and by their united strength
carry the great question triumphantly,
I remain, your obedient Servant,
March 3, 1831. G. R. M.

The following requisition has been already numerously
signed by men of all parties—Whigs, Radicals, and Tories:
" TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE THE LORD MAYOR.
" We, liverymen of the city of London, request that your
lordship will be pleased to call a common hall of the city at
as early a time as possible, for the purpose of taking into
consideration the propriety of the citizens of London, in
common hall assembled, adopting 'resolutions or such other
measure as shall show their determination to support, by all
the legal means in their power, his Majesty's ministers, in
carrying into effect that great reform in the Commons'
House, which they submitted to that House on the Ist of
this month."

A meeting of the united parishes of St. Andrew, Holborn,
will take place this day (Thursday), at three o'clock pre-
cisely, at the inquest-room, Si. Andrew's-court, Holborn-
hill, for the purpose of expressing on the part of the pa-
rishioners their high admiration of Lord John Russell's plan
of parliamentary reform, and their determination to support
the King and his ministers in relation thereto.
An illumination was talked of yesterday in the cities of
London and Westminster, to commemorate the introduction
of the reform bill, and as a pledge of its success. We have'
no objection to that; but in any case let the people in every
possible constitutional way show their respect for the friends
of the bill, and their aversion to its enemies.— Times.

List night Mr. Barrett, the common councilman and gro-
cer, in honour of the introduction of the reform measure by
ministers, illuminated the entire front of his house, in
Fetter-lane, with the words " support the ministers;"
formed in large letters of transparent yellow lamps. It is
not improbable that this mode of expressing approbation of
the measure may become general, and some day be agreed
upon for thus giving expression to public feeling. The bells
of most of the churches around London in those districts to
which it is proposed to extend the elective franchise, were
merrily rung throughout the greater part of yesterday evening.
AM.
CITY. ONE O'CLOCK.
Consols, which left off yesterday at 75i 76 for the ac-
count, opened at the same price, since which they are 76/
to 1. Little can be said of the opinions of the public this
day, for politics vary with the debates, and the speculators
are anxiously waiting for the final result of this grand con-
test. In the Foreign Market nothing doing as yet.
A private letter from Saint Quentin says, the ex-ministers
in the Chateau of Ham are treated with singular kindness ;
they were latterly closely watched, and it was difficult to
obtain permission to visit them ; but within a short period
visits to them have been more frequent. The prisoners are
no more confined to their chambers, and they walk with
their friends on the ramparts ; and , the walls of this pre-
tended fortress are only of the height of a garden wall.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The express from Paris has brought the French Renter
considerably lower, at 54-50, it is also rather of a warlike
description between Austria and France. This has had
some effect on our Funds. which were in the early part of
the morning at 761, but receded to 751 with a very heavy
market, caused by the above express. We understand that
several failures have taken place in Paris in the Funds there.
In the Foreign Market Spanish Bonds have rather
improved.
