Lord PALM BESTOW observed that the letter in goes•
don was handed to him on FddtrY IR Saturdq.
Mr. CRORER hoped the noble lord would be able
to say to-morrow whether lie received it on Friday or
tiatarday.
VYVYAN Imagined of his noble Mend, Lord
'torment, to ponyposta motion until Thursday next, and
be (8h R.) would it forward.
Lord STORMONT conceived the subject to be of such
an urgent nature, that he amid tiot postpone it.
To a question by Mr. Hun?,
Mr. LA MB replied that, the affray width took place
between the people and the military at Bolton, was under
investigation.
The Marquis of CHANDOS begged to ask the Noble
Lord (Palmeratcm,) whether the French troops were in
Blalines

Lord PAI.M RESTON hoped the Noble Marquis would
not expect of him to answer nth a question.
The Marquis of CH AN DOS conceived that, as a Mem-
ber of that Hone, he had a right to put such a question.
and receive irfotanition on the subject.
Lord PA LMERSTON teplied that some of the French
troops were at Malines.
Laid ELIOT asked if it was true that the King of the
Belgians had written to the King of the French, requesting
hint not to send troops to Belgium, and that the latter re-
plied that he could not accede to the proposition.
Lord PA LM RESTON complained of being called upon
to answer such questions, under existing circumstances.
The subject here dropped.
Mi. DUNCO3IBE, agreeably to his notice, rose to move
for papers connected with the late affair of a reprieve having
been for several days withheld from a criminal at Herefonl.
The hon. meeker said ho had in his possession allegations
upon affidavits, and counter statements offered to be proved
upon oath. Amidst such conflicting testimony be did not
know what to believe, but he had no interest whatever in the
matter beyond tracing the blame to its proper moire. He
concluded with moving foe the production of the correspon-
dence between the Secretary of the Home Department. and
the High Sheriffof the co yof Hereford. the Under She-
riff, 'the Cis:pieta, the Howler, or any other party connected
with the reprieve which bad been sent to Richard Sterne on
the 2Sth of July last.
Sir H. II ARDING F. seconded the motion, but with a
very different view from that of the lion. member. The con-
duct of the Under-Sheriff had beer. moat humane : on learn-
ing that the judge entertained doubts as to the justice of the
verdict, be despatched his confidential clerk to collect infor.
mation ; the confidential clerk repaired with the information
en collected to the judge, who was then at Chebnsford, and
the latter granted a reprieve: the clerk, on receiving it, ft-
paired diteet to the prison, where heaaked for Mr. Wilson, the
gaoler. The latter being ill, he told the turnkey to inform
the prisoner that there was a reprieve, and that he was now
on his way with it to the sheriff. The gaoler being so told
by the turnkey, made the communication to the chaplain next
morning, wile, on the same morning,infoemed Samuel Sterne
of his reprieve; Samuel Sterne was informed of his reprieve on
the Thursday morning. The under-sheriff had been at much
pain*, and at much expense, in collecting the information
which led to the reprieve. He (Sir H. H.) had teed the de.
positions of the under-sheriff, turnkey, tie. and considered
'the under.sheriff's case quite plain and clear.
Mr. LAM B could not see what parliamentary proceeding
could be founded on the production of the papers moved for.
The respite was perhaps not communicated with quite enough
of solemnity to the turnkey on the Wednesday. Butt he
Under-Shniff had taken the utmost care in collecting infor-
mation for the purpose of a reprieve; and es to the prisoner
having incurred anxiety by reason of say delay, the assertion
was unfounded. He considered the Chaplain a most hu.
mane man.
After a few words from an Hon. Mestere, Mr. Herr.
Sir H. HAIRDIVOR and Lord Howicn,
lit. DU NCONI BE withdrew his motion.

Sir H. Fi ARDINGE assented to the withdrawal of the
motion, it being utderstood that no imputation rested on the
Under-Sherif.

that influence. This wagon overpowered the arguments en
the other side. He would propose a plan which might so-

freeholders, for Instance, within the borough districts, vote
fur the borough instead of the county. This would he a
greet simplification, and would supersede, in a great mission
the necessity of commissioners. He would vote with Go-
vernment.
After a few words from Mr. Oneoan, Sir R. Poss.,
and Sir J. Wnovirresxv,
Col. DA VIES said he would vote against the division it
the counties, because he considered it would increase the
aristocratic influence, which the bill in other respects but toe
much promoted.
Mr. HODGES and Mr. C. WYNN were for dividing
the counties.
Sir G. MURRAY considered the division would lead to
the departmental division of England, when the Government
fell into ether hands.
Mr. LUMLEY was inaudible.
After a few words from Mr. LITTLETON, Mr. BRISCOE,
and Mr. BENNETT,
Sir C. WETHERELL deprecated the appointment of ir-
responsible commissioners. He could not agree with his
right boo. friend the Member for Tamworth, that a slight
acquisition of influence to the aristocracy should outweigh
the destruction of the unity of the counties, and the com-
mitting of such high powers as those proposed to irresponsible
Akers. It was not stated in the bill on what priacipl• the
division was to reacted.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL said the Hon. Gentleman as.
enuied that the Cennaksioners would act ikon blunder and
senoras. It was in anticipation of such a difficulty that
it was determined that the division should be made by Com.
mission's, whose decision should, if necessary, be revised
by Parliament. Though the division might in some few
kermess give a preponderance in the election, in general the
shales would be more free by having the counties divided.
He thought it desirable that county Members should ea

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

PARIS EXPRESS.-THIS DAY.

(From our own Correspondent.)
PARIS, Aug. 10.
Sir —A telegraphic dispatch reached Paris last
night, stating that the French =had entered
Mons. Very many rumours are respecting
an order to suspend the march of the French
troops, and they have canoed much dissatisfaction,
since it was stated that it was in consequence
of the interference of England.
Intelligence has niched Paris to-day, that freed'
troubles have taken place in Italy ; and that on
many points, the Pontifical troops have been
obliged to make hasty retreats.
The Augsburg Casette of the sth states, that
on the 30th of July. official accounts had reached
Vienna, that Gen. "hunger, after having escaped
the watchfolnes of the Polish Generals, bad by
skilful manoeuvre crossed the Vistula with all his
corps, at Sake, and that his advanced posts were
at Undoes. it is said that Marshal Paskewitsch is
only waiting for corps of Gen. Tolstoi, who has not
yet reached Ostrolenka, and that he then proposed
to push forward with the whole of his forces to-
wards Warsaw.

The latest news here from Warsas is down to
the 25th of July. The Rsursians at that time were
sending their advanced guard from Nissawa into
the district of Konin ; but the Landsturm were con.
tinually harrusing them. The Russian army, after
crossing at Neisawa, sent four regiments of cavalry
to a post between Kowal and Lublin. Eight
thousand have occupied the ground between Brresr-
Kryavier ; a second column is marching towards
Sinsewo ; and General Turno has arrived at Plowsk
with the corps of General Genstenzweig. Those
accounts state, however, that General Rudiger has
detached a part of his army for Podolia, and has
passed the Wieprs. A corps of Russian troops
advanced, on the 28th, as far as Prissen, and the

Government chests were transferred from that town
to Esenatochen. All the inhabitants had left their
houses.

A private letter from Warsaw, dated July 24,
is said to have been received at Paris this day,
which announces that the advanced posts of the
Russian army are approaching Warsaw. On the
20th, the number of 'persons working at the forti-
fication amounted to 20,000. —lt appears that
the Grand Duke Michael has left the army to re-
turn to Petersburgh. Rumours from Wanaw,which
are not altogether credited, state that the conduct of
General Skraynecki was suspected, and that in con-
sequence the Chamber resentatives had a
debate respecting it. He issaid to have been accused
by four Generals. Suspicions of this kind, whether
true or false, are very disheartening and unfavour-
able, in the present critical situation of Poland.
Among other rumours current here this day,
there is one that Don Miguel has arrived at Brest
in a French frigate. I forward the journals, and
remain yours do.
J. L.
P.S. I direct your attention to the followinr
extract from the Constitationnel

Our position with regard to Belgians is compli-
cated in a strange manner. Pressed by an unfore-
seen attack of the Dutch, Leopold was thrown up
into the arms of France, and had solicited succoon
from Louis Philippe. In consequence of that de-
mand, 50,000 men marched upon the side of the
frontiers, and the intervention of our diplomacy u
Antwerp saved that city from the flames, and de.
ranged the strategic combinations of the Prince of
Oinage. At the same time, the simple report of
NI arrival compressed the party of Viilliam, and
imeased a buudred-fold the enthusiasm of the
*riots. In this mate of things, and at the ma-
meet when he would have crossed the frontier,
Marshal Gerard reseived all at once a despatrii
from the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Leopold.
Abe many compliments to Francs, and tbe
rals. the Minister invited him to defer
his entry until the moment when the Mt-
Minister of War of Belgium could be put in report
.With him, a necessary condition before penetrating
upon the territory. The first result of this OUPPO4I
was to suspend the march of our troops ; after which
the Marshal sent a courier to our government.—
This adjournment, vaguely known yesterday in
Paris, produced the wont effect upon opinion.—
The report ran, that terrified to see us occupy, m
*Oise, a country which was a long time French,
the British government had made representations
to Leopold. Whatever may have been the maim
which directed the Belgian Cabinet, it is, never-
thiless, certain, that it demanded of the French
army to suspend its march for a moment. We
learn, in a positive manner, that the French army
his entered.
Le Temps says of the proposed address, com-
municated in the Sitting of the Chambers, and the
dimities t " We will prejudge nothing upon the
diumpaion. This discussion will take a new degree
of importance from the success of the Presidsot
of the Council, which uncovers the Ministerial
system, and which presents more plainly the thought
which presided at the drawing q the Preach
Idiscourse from the throne. The reading of the
address was coldly received ; the speech of the
President *sifted neither murmurs nor sywr.
The speech of M. niers, Iseirmsesured auk'
ing all chords vibrate, was bettoiundew4o,ll the
Chamber. It did not display greet Mew at mar,
and the fear of the Propaganda gained IWIPAY."
