I The Reform Bill is still before the
House of Commons. One of the minis
terial journals intimates that The opposi-
ton are attempting to delay it, looking
with "disloyal hope" to the bare posi-
biity that it may be defeated by the death
Of the King. On the end of August,
Lord Ahhorp assembled the friends of
Reform, and endeavorcd to dissuade
them from urging minor objections to the
details of the bill, urging the importance
of avoiding delay, and the necessity of
showing an united front to the enemies Of
the measure. He did not mean by this,
he said, to intimate that their opponents
could be able TO defeat the bill by any
delay their manouvres could possibly oc-
casion Sooner than abandon the bill, ,he
said, Parliament could be kept sitting
until next December, or next December
twelvcmonth Unnecessary. Several gen
tlcmen, and among the rest Sir Francis
Burdctt, although dcsirous to introduce
some additional provisions into the bill,
agreed with Lord Althorp as to the ne
cossity of harmony, and agreed to re-
serve the suggestion ofthcir amendments
to some future period Lord Milton,
however, said he was of different opin-
ion. lie wished to make the measure
final; and therefore, to render it so per-
feet, as to preclude the necessity of iu-
turc amendments.
In Ireland, nature seems endcavoring,
wherever the husbandman has commit
ted seed to the ground, to make up for
the past year. The accounts of the state
Of the crops in the south part Of the is
land, according to Cork paper, are of
the most favorable descri ptlon. Wheat,
oats, and other grain are in fine condi
ton. Potatoes promise a most abundant
crop.
The following is the report Of the op-
erations ofthe Polish army, forwarded on
the | 9th to the National Government by
the Gcneralissimo Skrzynccki, from his
headquarters Of Modin:-
"On the 18th of July, General Chrz-
onowski concentrated his forces near the |
road on this side Of Minsk. His advanc
ed guard, consisting of the first regiment
of infantry chasseurs, the third regiment
of horse chasscurs, and two pieces Of
cannon, drove the enemy from that town.
On the 10Th, at break of day, the Rus
slams attacked post of ours at Brzoz a,
and which, from neglcctIng to take the
necessary precaution, lost few men,
The same day, at five o'clock in the
they advanced on Minsk, sent
a column to surround Brzosa, and push
ed forward as far as Sicnnica. Gen.
Chrzanowski then ordered three battal-
ons of infantry, as many squadrons of
cavalry, with two pieces of artillery, to
march on Cyganka to meet the first col
Imn. General Ribinski took the direc-
ion Minsk, to re iniorce the vanguard
and support the attack on the enemy,
while General Jagmin proceeded with
he remainder of his division, towards
and Brzoza, where he cncoun-
cred column, composed of a few squa-
Irons of cavalry, three battalions of in
antry, and four pieces ofartllcry. Gen.
flbinsk was shortly afterwards ordered
o attack the enemy. Ourtroops advanced,
,rossed the Minsls, ana drove the enemy
,ack as far as kaluszin, where, the lat
er being assalcd at once on both sides
" Ribnski, and by Jagmin's dctach-
ncnt, which had come up at the same
ime from BrzoZa, was compelled to seek
lis safety by flight. The losses of the
enemy in killed and wounded were very
considerable. Ten officers, COO soldiers,
me piece Of cannon, and upwards of
housand muskcts, were the fruit of that
'ictory. Our loss was trihing. The 4th
Regiment of Uhlans, the lst Of Horse
IhasScurs, and the st of Cracow (kra-
uises) distinguished themselves particu-
ary in thay engagement.
"The principal army of the enemy,
by Field Marshal Paske-
gtch, was encamped on the 18th, be-
veen Ligno and Kikol. The same day,
everal large detachments of it crowded
o the left bank of the Nistula, between
ieszawa and the Prussian frontier, in
considerable number of boats, furnished |
D The Russians by The authorities Of The
','ussian torn Of Thorn, whence have
likewise arrived, and are daily arriving,
he necessary materials for the construc-
ion of bridges, and stores of every sort
his circumstance alone accounts for the
possibility of the enemy being able to et-
ect march which endangers its hanks,
nd which were it not for its reliance on
RUSSIAN neutrality, would be contrary to
he principles oithc military art. In fact,
fter sending over our columns, the enc

Dads by which he came. The whole 4
