FOREIGN INTELLIGEArCE.

An article, apparently official, dated "From the fron-
tiers of Poland, Aug. 14," contradicts the statement
which appeared lately in the German papers relative to
the discovery of a plot to assassinate the Emperor Ni-
birolas at Kalisch. The misapprehension is said to have.
iirisen from the strict orders given to the police to be
closely observant of certain individuals against whom
ther- are grounds of general suspicion. As for the dis-
affection which was, on the same authority, alleged to
prevail in the Polish army, this article contradicts it in
the most summary manner by stating, that, " as every-
body knows no, such army f.xists, no reliance can placed
on its support or seduction."
Charles X. and his family have gone to Toplitz. He
always leaves Prague whenever a reigning sovereign is-
expected there. The life he leads in that city is described
as being very retired. The Duke of Bordeaux is stated
to be in excellent health, in spite of the assertions to the.
contrary which have appeared in the French newspapers.
His sister is educated under the strict 'superintendence
4
" of the Duchess Of Angouleme, who has been so t 'ed.
in the 4 school of misfortune, and who must be cons' d
as a model if not of mildness yet of the purest % „«e,
and it is therefore probable she will be safe from the er-
rors which have cast so many shades on the character of
her royal parent."
The Duchess of Berri has left Brandeis forGratz. It
appears that, as is usual in such cases,
.the little courts of
the ex-King and the Duchess were not. on amicable
terms. " The En fans de France," says a German
paper,- " were seldom allowed to see'their mother, and"
whoever fell into disgrace with Charles X. was sure of a
-favourable reception with the Duchess of Berri. . The
Chevalier Hardivilliers, painter to the court, was dis-
missed on suspicion of being the go•between of the
Duchess and her children. M. de Barente, whose re-
moval from-the office that he held on the system of edu-
cation of the Duke of Bordeaux is much to be.. regretted,
Was the intimate friend of the Duchess of Berri while he
was here." -

The King of the Belgians is about to pay a visit to.
France. The Chambers at Brussels are discussing- the
law relative to foreigners, the final vote on which was to
have been taken on Monday last. It is certain that.it-
will be carried.

FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 4, 1835..

In the Morning Chronicie of Wednesday we find a.
letter. purporting to have been written by a private
,correspondent who dates from Santander, in Spain; but
the probability is that it was nutuufartuKed in London. But.
no matter ; the facts it communicates bear all the marks of
truth, and probably emanated from a certain office for the
.purpose of aiding some honest speculation. - .

Loid John Hay and the other naval commanders on this sta...
tiun have certainly got directions to aid and assist in every way
posiible the liberal party—to give antis, ammunition. guns.
provisions, and their men whenever required; at the same time
they are ordered not to fire a shot; except in self-defence ; ac-
cordingly, the men-of- war boats catty up and down the river
all dispatches, mails, letters, *Ste., under the protection ,of the
English flag, and consequently render them very great assist-
ance, otherwise these things would never reach their destination.
The contents of the last dispatches are, that the Carlists are
coming in great force upon the river below Bilboa, and aie
building a fort to command the river, and prevent all passing-.
The schooner has orders to proceed to Bilboa, and if she meet
with any interruption to fire upon the enemy, and to land the
marines and clear the banks. For this purpose the 7th Iristr
regiment here in barracks will leave in steamers to-morrow;
and, although ostensibly embarked for San Sebastian, will land
at Portayalette, and will take the felt now building, atul•driee
away the enemy. Lord John Hay is likewise going in the steamer
to ;uperintend some of these movements and give his advice. He
is 'a fine bray, officer, perfectly devoted to his profession, and`,
has espoused the Queen's cause with,all his heart. It is sup-
posed that the English troops will not take the field before
October, by which time they will have arrived; and although
must of them raw men, will, by good drilling, become effective
soldiers.

Is this the way that England, once the mistress of the
seas and the arbiter of the world, makes war, like a land-
thief or a- sea pirate, upon an independent state with which,
she professes to be in amity, and against which, most un-.
questionably, she has not issued any declaration of war ?
How are-the mighty fallen !

We find the following in the Times :

The expenses already incurred by the " Poor in Ireland
Commission" for seven quarters amount to £11,847. This is
independent of £2,800 for 14 assistant commissioners not:yet
paid, making a total of £14,647. The return contains an esti-
mate of the sum which may yet be required before the comple-
tion of the inquiry. The secretary supposes this to be £3,740,
but the reasons given for supposing that the inquiry will soon
be terminated, and at no greater additional cost, are not, stated.
We suspect that the result will be very different.

This smells rank of whiggery ! It is as pretty a bit of
jobbing as any we have seen since THOMAS MACAULAY
introduced into his own dear India bill a provision in
favour of himself, and gained by the trick TEN THOUSAND
A YEAR, and .£1;500 as an outfit. What in the name of
decency are these commissioners doing in Ireland •We
are told that ,one of their chief objects is to ascertain if
there be any pour in Ireland ! Are there any coals in
Newcastle ? Are there any bogs in Connaught ? Are
there any cotton mills in Manchester ? We can bat:dry
supptise there is any doubt on these points ; and yet a
number of :idle, useless, and unknown lawyets are
ctn-
ployed to investigate a fact which is notorious, at vast
expense to the public.
But we shall -perhaps be told that the commissioners
are empowered to ascertain in what way a modified
system of poor laws in Ireland would operate upon All
classes .of the population. Unquestionably they will do-
this to the entire satisfaction of his Majesty's ministers•
They will prolong the inquiry to the utmost latitude of
endurance. -They will gift the thing with the most
fastidious induStry, and after they have sucked the coun-
try of some ten or twenty thousands more, they will pre-
sint:a report as bulky as.l.arcl.Nneel•er;and asnnintelli;
gible as Mis'ter RuTtivest, which ,few persons Will read,
and fewer understand, after which it will be flung into
the lumber•room, or trash house.- of the House of Com
mons, there to lie until it can be conveniently appropri-
ated to'the lining of trunks, or the wrapping of dog's-
meat sausages.

We appeal to all our readers, who have paid any at-
tention to the subject, whether this has not been the fate
of the labours of almost every commission which has
emanated from the whigs. Who, except JOSEPH Paavts;
ever saw the masses of stuff' collected by the municipal
commissioners ? Who would have read even a mil-
lionth part of it had it been printed ? Not .ten men or
women in the whole of the king's dominions. In short,
these inquiries serve no good purpose whatever ; they
supply no information that can be depended upon ; they
lead to no satisfactory results. If the adherents Oe
ministers must be maintained at the public expense,
some more useful employment 'should.be found for them.
This "Poor in Ireland Commission" is one of the
most objectionable, .simply because nb measure of relief
in the shape of poor laws is intended to be founded upon
it. It is said that O'CONNELL is favourable to poor
laws; we do . not believe it, because O'CONNELL is sat
the man to tax himself. Who ever heard of him giving
a shilling to his starving countrymen—to poor families
who, owe much- of their misery to him ? He has con-
curred in the object of the commission, but that is merely
to obtain.delay, and procure employpu.W,for his political
agents. Two years have been, wasted . unnecessarily,
and .7.wesbelieve we are as far from the settlement of the
question as ever. There will never, he any poer laws
introduced into Ireland so long us O'CoNNELk, and his
tail can prevent it. The ministry which shall confer this
blessing upon that country must be a truly English and
independent administ ration.
