Oik news schooner the “Couiier and En

Southampton. Captain Harris suilec. from
Liverpool on the 9 h of Sept. and has polite
ly furnished u« with Liverpool papers of that
due, London of the Bth, and Lloyd’s and
Shipping Lilts to the latest dales.
I* will be perceived that the rumor of di
vi-ions in th : Polish Councils are confirmed,
i,ml that Skixynccki is no longer at the head
id tin; army, The Times o( the 6',h Sept,
s.iys— 11 The accounts from Warsaw, by yes
terday’s Hamburgh mad, are full'of deep and
melancholy interest. Two orders of the day
were brought to u» by the above conveyance,'
signed respectively by Generals Skrzyneckil
ami Detnbintki, the former on resigning, the
latter on assuming the command of the pa-|
triot army ol Poland. Skrzynecki’s address
to the troops is imbued in every line of it 1
with a spirit of generous and self-forgetting
devotion to his country’s set vice, at the same 1
time that it requires from the soldiers, in
terms of affectionate solicitude, that they 1
will follow the example he himself proposes,
while fighting in then ranks, to set them ot[
implicit obedience to the authority of their
new commander, ami of unconquerable xaal
and courage in the cause of liberty. There,
is uu apparent calmness as well as modesty
in all the public documents that have been
published with Skrxynecki’* name, which (
possesses an indescribable cnartit. j
But we have heard it hinted, even by those j
of his own countrymen, who unteignedly ad
mired that distinguished chief, that the con
stitution of his mind was nut fitted fur occa
sions which demanded extraordinary and '
daring euterpnxe.” j 1
A revolution had broken out in Lisbon in I
favour of Donna Mima, but was suppressed I
by Hie troops of tbe'yrant Miguel.
Many of the provinces of Russia, as also '
the greater part ol Hungary, are in revolt;
and some taint hopes are entertained (ha 1
these movements may yet give encourage 1
cnent to the Foies, &, once more unite them 1
against their oppressors. The spirit of the !
army, by some accounts, is said to be un
broken.
The Dutchess of Kent has refused to at- *
’end the coronation of King William. That 1
event was to have, taken place on the Bib of
Sept, the date of our latest paper. The
London Herald says : “ To-day a monarch
Strung in the all' ctioos ot ins people goes,
forth to receive wiih ihe solemnities of re-j
ligion, and amid the honest acclamations of j
his subjects, a cr two which is consecrated
bv tha. highest and purest historical glory
wiiich is associated witli the consolidation of
B nation’s liberty.”
H ipny wi uld it hive been for a neighbor- '
ing kingdom it the revolu ion which expeli- I
«d die S Uarls from a throne which their foi 1
ly and then vices forfeited, had .aught the *
Bourbons wisdom. Lis because (he lesson ‘
that E .gland gave to ambitious and profli- (
gate rulers of nations was read in vain by Hie 1
descendants nt Hugh Capet that France has 1
suffered incalculable miseries, a d that the 1
laie Sovereign of that fine country is now a '
erowuless exile, who found a secu.e asylum' 1
from the just indignation of hit suojects on 1
the shores of E .gland—presenting the in 1
struclivo specmcle ot a monarch who has tied
fur refuge to the sanctuary of freedom!
While the ex King of France remains a
living example ot the droadtul force ol the
recoil of public opinion, when the pressure of
power has become too violent to be borne,
the King ol England, by yielding to the rea
sonable desires of his people, and repairing
those energies of u tree Constitution which
abuses had corrupted or time impaired,
makes (he foundation of the throne ilsell
more firm, and draws ar und Ins own just
prerogatives the impregnable defence of a
people’s love.

London, Sept. 8. —At length Hie Reform
8.1 l has passed the Committee. The report
Is to be brought up on Tuesday next, when
the d.-bate upon the general measure will be
renewed.
V annus are the conjectures e* to the length
bod difficulty of the ordeal which it has yet
to past before it can make its way into the
Upper House ; but we think the hope of the
corruptionist* will be disappointed in this re
spect. The principle having been already
discussed over and over, and ihe limit of hu
man patiuuc* having necesearily some son of
reference to the shortness of human life.
It is true that the c n ruptiomsts affect to
lyetl the Bill, now th&t it has coins out of
Committee, as a different Dill from wlnt it
was on going into Committee, and on that
ground will attempt to give their opposition
an air of novelty favorable to the delay
which is still their only dependence. No
one doubts that Sir Charles VVetherell could
• peak for two hours—ave, fnr two day*, up
"" oi' a. y other subject, and Sir E. B
feu B uoa lor two days more, but many per
sons doubt whether the House would lis
ten to them. To take the benefit of this
doubt, which we trust will not appear un
reasonable, we may venture to conclude,
alter all, that tho forthcoming portentous
debate cannot last forever.
Indeed there are some symptoms amongst
(he Opposition from which wa sugur still
more favourably. The shout of triumph on
ihe one side, when the last resolution was
.issued, and the feeble answer which was
r nude to it by the other, give room to hope
that the parly are beginning to see their
i cause is desperate. The decision of (he
Common Council too, which has oveie-;t at
ime blow a whole host of misrepresentations,
may be expected to produce its effect.
In the House of Commons, Col. Evans
presented a petition from the inhabitants of
Westminster, complaining of the injuiy to
our commerce from the war in Poland. Up
on moving that the petition be brought up,
Sir F. Burdelt eecouded the motion, and
Mr. O’Connell spoke in favor of it j but
the Ministers gave no explanation, as to the
1 state of the negotiations on that subject.
Lord Granville Somerset moved that a new
district of boroughs be formed in Monmouth,
tor the purpose of sending on* representa
tive to Parliament. Lord John Russell op
posed the motion, which was negatived
without a division. After some petitions
I had been presented, and various conversa
tions taken place, the House, for the last
'time, resolved itself into a Committee on
I tVie Reform Bill. On motion of the Chan
cellor of the Exchequer a clause was agreed
to, allowing five guineas a day over and a
bove their expenses to the barristers em
ployed in deciding on the claims of the vc
iter*. Mr. Hunt then moved his resolution,
,imposing a fine of jEIO.OOO and a year’s
imprisonment upon any one convicted of in
terfering at elections. Lord J, Russel op
posed the (notion, which was negatived.
! The House having resumed, the Report
was brought up and ordered to be taken in
to consideration on Tuesday. A long dis
cussion followed on the wine duties, for the
particulars of which we refer to our Parlia
mentary report.
INSURRECTION JIT LISBOX.
Capt, Colston, of the brig Ann Faley,
which arrived at this pun from Lisbon last
itught, called upon us after midnight, avid
[politely favored us with the following im
portant intelligence
On Sunday evening of the Slat ult. at 10
o’clock, the 4th regiment of infantry, at
Csmpo do Rie barracks, turned out and de
clared for Donna Maria 11. A cadet of the
regiment went to the commanding officer
and demanded the regiment colors, winch
were refused, and, in the act of drawing
his sword, the cadet run him through the
body, and took the colors. Part of tins re
giment not thinking themselves sufficiently
stronr, or that matters were not well con
ccrled, refused to accompany their com
rades. and only 400 (about one half of them)
undertook tho task of overturning Dun Mi
guel and his tyrannical Government. They
proceeded through the different streets, with
■ their colors flying, and band playing lie
constitutional hymn ; und as they passed
through, the people in general, from the
windows, cheered tlv*m with Viva Donna
Maria, Don Pedro, Villa Flor, &c. They j
sent detachments to several of the barracks,;
part of whom only turned out. They march-j
ed to the Room square, where they were
soon surrounded by the different regiments
of infantry and cavalry. The Thh cavalry
charged ihern, but was repulsed, and gave
way to the 4th regiment, who maintained
thrir ground to ' he last, not having a single
ball cartrtdge left. Don Miguel, on hear
ing ol the rising of the troops, shut himself
up m Belem Castle, his staff went to recon
noitre, and some abuts were fired at them,
sod the Conde de St. Martino, and the Ba
ron de Bet ira, were shot, as it. was suppos
ed taken tor Don Miguel, being tike hirr. in
stature. Alter all was over, Don Miguel,
kbout 3 o’clock, came from the Castle and
rode through the city at the head of hits
staff.
Ihe reports «f the kilted and woended
r are various, it is stated to be 150 to 200,
I By day-light or a little after, 574 of the 4 h
regiment were seat as prisoners on board of
I the St, Sebastian hulk. A major of the po
, Bee wag mortally wound, d in the affray.

among me There is no doubt that
had Count Villa Flor been present with the
1400 men he took St. Michael’s with, in
than 12 hours he would have had pus
, *vsßi >n of Lisbon, as well as the major pen
ol the tro ps.
e Dur correspondent then describes a grosi
attack upon Mr. Grundy, a British subject
by the soldiers of the tyrant, on the 22c
1 u jC H i applying to the commander, th.
1 Conffe de R olando, for redress, the ruffiat
e cut him with his sabre, and his men attack
ee d him with their bayonets, and left himfot
* dead. He was taken to the British (acton
1 hospital, and was found to have received S
sabre cute, tnd e ‘veu bayonet wounds.
* Ihs British Consul made a spirited re
monstrance to the Secretary of State, Ban
tarem, but received no answer, in conse-
I quence of which he ordered the British
corvette Despatch, to anchor in front, and
1 a * ttvur as possible to the cuinmercia l square,
i to give all protection to British subjects in
' case of need. Trade is completely at a
* stand, all is terror and dismay in the city ;
1 no one dure show himself out of doors for
tear of being insulted.
Ihe Gazette of the 25:h ult. shows that

| London. Sept. 7 —German, Dutch and
1 Brussels papers to the data of yesterday,
) were last night received. Their eontents,
i generally, possess but little intereat; and as
a jegards Poland, in particular—for which it
i is impossible not to feel at this moment a
e painful anxiety—their barrenness is sbsu
r Ititely disappointing. Os Rudiger, and the
e Victory which was claimed over him, we find
l not a word, and we have reason to believe
, tvjt nothing more is known than has been
already published. We find it stated, under
s the head of Berlin, the Ist of September, ac
f cording to the latest accounts from the head
ii quarters of the Russian Imperial army, they
- were still at Nadanyn on the 23d; and the
i, outposts were about four wersts (two Eng
■ljlish miles and a half) from Warsaw. Since
tithe late events nothing farther has taken
elplnce. The first division of the troops which
.General Krutz is bringing to join tiie Field
v,Marshal had already passed the Vistula.
'» From Vienna, to the 251 h Aug, there is a
- vague and improbable reoort, that Prince
- Radzi will has been sent as Plenipotentiary
J from the Polish National Government to the
Russian head quarters, to negotiate a peace.
- “But,” says the Vienna editor, "upon what
t basis the negotiation can b* carried on is
ii difficult to guess, as the Lmperur of Russia,
-,in Ills lust proclamation, again requires im
ii plicit submission—unless we suppose that
-[Count Paskewitsch is furnished with special
• instructions & unlimited powers to conclude
-a peace.” It we believe the assurances of
, several eminent merchants, who are usually
i well informed, the Poles require of the Hus
- sian Commander the same terms, that, at the
- commencement of the revolution, under
[Cblopicki, they submitted to the Emperor,
t and which were then refused. But it is said,
- that the present proposals of the Poles differ
- from the t urner, that they no longer protest
having Russian troops in the king
- dom, but only require that their number shall
be equal to that of the Polish national army;
adding, that these Russian troops shall be
, under the exclusive command of the Ru-sian
I General, who shall be subject to a Viceroy,
j chosen by the Polish nation, and confirmed
. by the Emperor and receive orders from
j him. Another rumor, equally improbable, is
j given from Coblentz, that the Polish Prince
i Radztwiil is appointed Viceroy of Poland,
. under ihe sovereignty of Russia, and that
; hostilities are suspended on both sides. Bu
; the truth seems to be, that from the close in
,!vestment of Warsaw by the Russians nothing
was known at Berlin of he true position of
, the capital or the armies.
Ghent, September 4.
r t Four piecec of ccntton let' Urug- on the
Ist for West Caspelle.
.j The Clara Polder, containing 12 or 13 of(
I the finest farms in the country, from lUO
to 150 acres each, was totally inundated
,lyesteiday by the ride at noon, through the
! opening which the Dutch have made in the i
. sea-dike to the east of the Capitalen Dam. i
I [The damage is-t'calculable. One thousand 1
. five hundred acres of the finest [and in Eu I
, rope, the harvest in the barns, the crop of 1
potatoes—the loss cf which ruins above 100 |
iFamilies —the plantations, the buildings, all j
are destroyed. The land will produce noth- «
, <ng for many years, and enormous expense i
will be necessary to stop a breach made be-'i
tween two creels, and which will be widen- f
ed and deepened in a frightful manner. I
Callao, August 31. (
The Dutch continue to fortify themselves, i
It is affirmed that Ihe garrison of liulet has t
been reinforced by 700 men.
On the Ist iust. the superintendants of j
the Polder put their peopl» to slop the open- i
ing lately mads by the Du ch. at the Pine '
de Toban. Tiny had scarcely begun when'j
an officer of the gun boat come to informh
them 'hat ha had no orders to permit them 1
to close the opening, fkthat if they coutin- i

[ The Journal of Luxemb mig says there is I
a 33 h protocol, in one of the clauses oli
i which it is stated that the B Igic Govern-J
j ment is to erase all acts of Government in'
ihe Grand Duchy.
The Brussels Papers testify to the great,
s exertions which the King and the War De
i partment are making to restore discipline
e a °d efficiency to the army, two qualities in
n which it must be confessed it has proved it
, sell lamentably deficient. The conference
:l of the Great Powers appear to be resuming
a more decided tone every day with respect
~ to Belgium, now we suppose that there no
t) longer appears any fear of it making itself
d troublesome. A new protocol, it i* said,
e has been agreed upon, and would shortly
n be published, in which the Belgians would
be required to come to terras w.th Holland,
| r and to cease forever all interference with
v I the internal goiernment of the Grand Du
st. Luxembourg. But this province has
already returned Members to the approach
i°B Senate. The elections generally have
[ proved favorable to the Government. These
, papers contain some distressing details of
h the injury done to private property, by the
j system of inundation which the Dutch are
, charged with having unnecessarily and vin
dictively had recourse to, in the’ neighbor
a!hood of Capitalen Dam. The loss sustain
. ed by private and innocent individuals ig
’ said to be immense. The following are ex 1
tracts :

! / J arjs Sept. 3—The question of the c
Grand Duchy of Luxemburg, is again reviv
ed. as our readers may have seen from the I
two documents taken from the Belgian Jour- I
nals; but the following is most serious s—lt
is announced that on the 30th of August, the 1
Diet of Ihe German Confederation, at Frank
fort, had a Sitting, and that Baron Munce I
Beliinhausen, President of the Diet, and Re
presentative of Austria, made a Motion, pro- -
posing *hat the Diet should inquire whether
it did not become its dignity to put ao end to c
the provisional situation of the Grand Duchy; I
and that it was decided, by a majority ol 9 to 1
8, that there Wore grounds to occupy the I
Grand Duchy by the troops of the German I
Confederation. Expresses are to be sent im- (
mediatelv to acquaint the Cabinets of Vien

phure of Marseilles?—"lt ic said that im- t
media ly »f er the resignation of M. Arna- 1
von, 60 Captains and other officers will also I
give theirs. It is also said, that all these re- h

!oi the National Guaid. If this organization '
should take place, it will be an additional §
[element to civil war.” t

INSURRECTION IN RUSSIA.
A terrible revolt has broken out in the
, Russian military colonies. They speak 6f
frightful massacres of General and officer*.
This event, intelligence of which reached
he Government laet evening bj a courier
>f the Duke de Mortemart, may have
great influence upon the fate of Poland.
. Letters from Bucharest of the 12th Aug,
igive accounts from Constantinople of the 2J,
stating that 1800 houses, almost the whole
if Pei a, had been destroyed by fire ; that
60 000 persons were without shelter, and
had Inst most of their property.
Letters from Semlin of the 15th say, that
he cholera had been brought te that city by
a ship bound from Pesth to Belgrade, which
arrived before Semlin on the 12th of July.
One person landed, and the next day alrea
dy 12 persons were attacked by the disor
der. It prevails also in Hermanusladt, the
capital of Transylvania.—ln Ofen & Pesth
it has rather abated, though from 50 to 60
deaths daily occur in each of those cities.
It has almost wholly disappeared at Lem*
berg. Oa the newa that tha military wet*
approaching to chastise the insurgents iff
Hungary, it is said that some of their par*
ties assembled near H><nn«ti*lya,
Craoow, August 19.
Both in Warsaw and the army there ap
pears to be two parties—one fur submission,
and the other for fighting to the last estrimi
ty. Paskewitsch had been ever since the
6th, with the whole army on the eight bank
of the Bzura, and the Poles behind the
Hawks. Gen. Rudiger, with his corps, was
at Novenicasto, on the Piligia ; and Prince
Adam of Wurtemburg, on his march to Ra
dons, had reached Puza, which little town ii
said to have suffered much, as the inhabi
tants opposed the entrance of the Prussians.
London, September 8.
We understand that money is very scarce
in the City, and we are sorry to hear that a
great deal of distress exists in the commer
cial world. It is reported that two or three
houses have stopped payment to-day.
There is little to remark relative to the
Stock Exchange, in which, indeed, there
has been very little doing. Prices arc,
however e shade lower. Console for the
Account opened at 82j, were then done at
82|, when they fell to S 2 18, at which pries
they left off buyers. For money, they are
at 82 to 82 1 8. The heavy stocks are ra
ther lower. The new Three and a half per
cents have fallen to 89|. Exchequer Bill*

There has been scarcely any thing doing

We have received from a correspondent
at Hamburgh, some accounts relatbs to th*
progress of the Russians, which we are glad
to ind are not true, to the extent stated.
There is too much reason, however, to believe
that the situation of the Poles has become
hopeless. The only consolation, if it ba- one,
to the admirers of Polish heroism, is, that
whilst a few traitors, seduced by Russian
gold or pjjpmises of distinction, have placed
the capital in danger, the people et large do
not cease to feel as Poles—of the army to
set as men.*—“ Js mews maisjs nt me rends
pas” is the exclamation of the Polish warri
or. The cry shall be remembered when the
Polish blood upon the Russian sabres shall
have been for centuries converted into rust.
We subjoin the accounts as they are given
ia our Hamburgh letter; but think it right
to gtata that no account of the reverse allu
ded te in the communication from Ham
burgh, has reached our Government:
Russian Head-quarters, Nadarzyn, Aug.
1®' —“ On the I7th, the Russian army hav
ing left Lowiez, the Poles gave up their

nadier division, with a party of Hussars
and Lancers, went through Boloniero to
Siymanow on the Pistia river. The Light
