CONTINUATION OF FOREIGN NEWS. FRANCE. The arrival of Guncrol Cla'Jscl in Paris has been often noticed as indicative of an approach- tfjr war in Italy. Within forty-eight hours we (shall know whether war will or, will not take place. Without giving an opinion on it my self I mav be allowed to slate, that those most interested incline to the belief that it is no lon ger possible for France to avoid war. The firsk step taken by the army of France bevond the bridge of Kehl would he the signa. for insurrection through the entire oft he aid de- vant Rhenish provinces. Should she pass her Italian frontier, the whole of Savoy and 1 te( - mont would rise and join her. Sbon d • take place, it is in the latter quarter that the first blow will be struck. 1 know that not on- lv is such no event deemed probable by the Savoyards and Piedmontese, but that they are with difficulty restrained from anticipating i • ThHt the Sardinian Government is impresscn with apprehensions, the following paragraph, which 1 extract from La Temps al ibis .luj, sal liciently proves: “Chamberry, March 23—Orders were .s- d tins day to send off immediately the great- part of the eqnippage, baggage, &c. to Suza, vnnd Mont Ccois. The Colonel of the re- &u er beyond Mont Ccnis. ffirniMit of Pignerol announced this morning to his troans that they must hold themselve* m readiness to march. This appears to be occa- sioned by the report that the Austrians had en tered Bologna, and had hanged the principal officers of the National Guard, ll is feared that, in case this news bo confirmed, France will '«M-t it We still doubt, however, the ac curacy of the fact.’* The London Sun of (he 30th thus concludes: From all we hear and read of the State ot parti s in Paris, arid, indeed, generally through out France, we do not conceive it possible for that country to remain much longer at peace The feelings of Louis Philippe on the subject are evidently at variance with those oi the ma jority of his people, and sooner or later, and rather soon than late, he must swim with the stream; il he attempt to make head against it, he will surelv founder. BELGIUM. Th*s unhappy country is again agitated with in and threatened without Antwerp, March 25:—The Dutch troops are in motion, and are approaching in great numbers to our frontiers, by way of Cladel And Eerzcl, between Eindhoven and Turnhout. The position of the squadron on the whole line to Flushing, is precisely the same; seme por-ons who pretend to bo well intormed al- ti: m however, that there will he a change in a few days; that the fine ship, the Zeeuw, wil‘ go me before the city with some corvcils. and that the gunboats will go away At all events, ii is certain that the Zeeuw, of 90 guns, is rea dj to leave Flushing, an 1 that it is filled out for Bctive service. POLAND. The advices from Poland are encouraging. Diebitsch remains inactive, and the victorious Dwernicki has pursued Kreutz and his barba rians over the Bug into Podolia, where the peo ple are rising. The German papers received to the 23J inst. are of some interest, as testifying the lurther ■success of the Polish cause. i he entry ol tbe Polish army, under Dwernicki, intothe province ot Podolia, is likely to produce a considerable increase of perplexity to the Russians.. 1 he nobility and their dependents have arisen en masse, and assembled 15,000 cnvalry, which iorce advanced to Kamtnicz, the capital, ano disarmed a Russian reg inent of infantry. The news of this event has already, it it supposed, led to a retreat of tbo force under Genera Kreutz. Ti e private accountsfrom Berlin give n most heart cheering account of the State of the Po lish caU'ft If these accounts may be relied np m, the Russian army is in a most deplora blc condition—a condition only equalled by that of the troops of Napoleon, in their retreat from Moscow. All we can say is, may such evei be the fate of tyrants and their miserable, but not less guilty, adherents. Bv the way, it is s.nd that France, Prussia, and England, have remonstrated ,V! ‘h Russia on the behalf ol the Pjins. We are afraid remonstrance, unbacked bv »rns, will produce little or no good to the cho-o of 1 lint brave but nniortunute people Warsaw, March 12.—General be- in high terms of confidence and hope ©r the ultimate success of the Polish cause. ® Russians have as yet been unable to cross me “'Vistula at any point near Warsaw, and the river had risen so much from the breaking up o i ice, that there was little chance of a passage for some time. Meanwhile Gen. Diebitsch s army is suffering severely from a scarcity oi provisions, the severity of the season, and the badness ol the roads. It is even imagined that he will soon be obliged to retreat to the Rus sian frontiers. Should this happen, his situn tion would be extremely dangerous, and the war may be protracted for several campaign^ Some of the Polish commanders of corps have been extremely active and successful against the enemy. General Dwernicki has dispersed the division of General Kreutz. He left War saw with onlv four pieces of artillery, and he has now a park of twenty guns captured from the enemy. Should Lithuania rise in the rear of the Russians, the whole force of the empne would not be sufficent to subdue the Polish na tion. It is reported that insurrectionary move ments against the Russians have alreaoy beg.ua m Yolhynia and Podolia ” March 15th.— Field Marshal Diebitsch hav ing with his own bands, pulled the different orders of merit gained on the field of battle off the breast of Major Kiwerski, who had been severely wounded and made prisoner, the Major, in consequence of such au insult, be mg hurt to tbo extreme, answered with dignitr, to tbo Marshal. “You may take upon yourself to have us shot, but not dishonor us; for when a nation declares war upon another, there are no rebels.” The Field Marshal, enraged at such an answer, ordered lus Cossacks to take (lie prisoners into the interior. The General Garztenwcig having met them, added bis in sult to the former one; and his soldiers threw mud and stones at thorn, and torced them into rooms covered with blood, and where -j number of dead and dying Russians lay; there they were obliged to pass the night, without any assistance, and after having given them some few dry biscuits without any distinc tion to rank, they were driven along, ou foot, to Minsk March 17.—The advanced guards of th^ Russian division arrived at Navgrod on the 171 ii The account from Warsaw arc to the 2ls; inclusive. Ou the 17th, the Governor Krtiko wieaks, accompanied by his st;:ff. viewed ih; fortifications of the city, the barricades in the streets, the means of deieuce in the private houses, and the butteries on the other ode ol the river. Among other particulars, it ap pears that mines are made in several places that many doors and windows are barricaded and walls arc built across the streets, by which the city is divided mto separate fortified quar ters. London, March 31. Italy —Letters from Rome state that the m- nubitants daily expected the arrival of the rev olutionary troops from Bologna. The tri-color was seen from the towers of ‘he city, floating over the advancing force, and would soon, it it was supposed, be planted on the seven hills, unless the Papal army showed more courage md zeal than it had hitherto displayed. The two sons of Louis Bonaparte, who served in the ranks of the insurgents, had left them and proceeded to Ancona to embark for Tristie.— This latter fact does not fecoi to lend much credibility to the reports of the great success or brilliant prospects of the party whom they tiad joined Cardinal Bametti, in order to overawe the disaffected at Rome, had announ ced the entrance of the Austrian troops into the northern duchies. The French papers of Sunday state that the Austrians have eutcred Bologna. The majority of one —The House of llano- vet was brought up by n majority ol one ; the Union of Ireland was afl'-cted by a majority of one; and the Reform Bill has been carried r>v a majority of one. Thus three of the most influential events iu the history of England were regulated by n majority of one. Rejorm.—On looking over the division on ,he second reading of the Reform Bill, we find that of those who voted against it, sixteen are ier nine places, containing one huudred and twenty-seven voters, being an averaged eight io each; and twenty-two for fourteen places with twenty to twenty-five voters, giving »n average of thirty-four to each; thus thirty-eight members representing twenty three places, and those twenty-three places containing only eight hundred and fifty eight voters Yet this is the system which the auti reformu* describe as the envy and admiration of foreign nations!

Hum mity is struck With the atrocious horrors committed a second time by these Russians upon the unfortunate inhabitants. After having pilaged and com nletfdv destroyed Pulawy, they forced away with them seven ot the inhabitants, on which unfortunate beings they committed the ni09i v.olont acts of barbarism ever heard of in the civilized world Among those unfortunate persons were Kninwkowicx, and another, the name unknown to the eye witness.

Certain that the ignorance in which thay remained that a new lather had been given, and that the loss of him whom they mourned had been repaired, ren dered their errors less monstrous, we still ad dress to them the assurance of mercy and par don, as it becomes the vicar of God-made man, who gloried in the character of being meek and humble in spirit. Let those unfortunate men reflect what a wound they inflict on the bosom of their affectionate father, what peace they have lost, what perils they have to en counter, and, in makiug the cruel comparison between their former condition and the state of disorder into which they have thrown them selves, let them deplore, in the sincerity ol their hearts, the wrongs which they have done and in out of reach of further torments, which other wise they uould have had to have undergone from the hands of ‘hose barbarians.

Mr. Southey and Authors.—1 his gentleman complains in a recent publication, ot aui or., and especially p^ts, sending their works tor his perusal, and opinion, and advice thereon, and gives notice “to all whom it may concern, that 1, Robert Southey, poet laureate, being somewhat advanced in years, aud having busi ness of my own fully to occupy as much time as can be devoted 4o it, consistently with due regard to health, do- hereby decline perusing or inspecting any manuscript from any person, whatsover, and desire that no application on that score may be made to me from this time forth; this resolution, which, for most just cause is taken and here notified, being, like the laws of the Medes and Persians, not to be changed.

Mr. Steele moved the following resolution at a meeting at Ennis the county town of Clare, which passed unanimously:—“That Maurice O’Connell, Esq. the eldest sou of O’Connell, the Liberator, should be invited by the peoplo of Clare to represent the independent spirit of the county, ami support his father in the Imperial Parlia ment.” In Poland the teachers of the primary schools are instructed to two institutions, established at Loveiz and Pulawy. In tho capital the governesses and hoarding school mistresses receive the instruction necessary for their oc cupation under the direction of a committee appointed for that purpose The number ot students at the University of Warsaw in 1828, amounted to 589. The higher schooi* of the Palatinates taught 8682 pupils; 1624 sons of artisans went to the Sunday schools, as well iu the capital as in the provinces. There were sixty eight individuals at the Institution for the Deaf and Dumb. The elementary schools in the capital wdre attended by 348 male and 383 female children, and the private schools at Warsaw gave education to 688 males aud 539 females. Twenty t ight boarding schools at Warsaw contained 717 girls, and for ty two institutions in the Palatinates furnished nstruction to 1624 scholars At Bow street this morning, a wrotchod look ng man was brought bo tore S;r R.

It appears that the objects contemplated by the Association were to raise a capital of 10.000/ by subscriptions of50 each, from 200 gentlemen, in order to be enabled to punish works of merit, the authors of which might not be able to sustain the expense ot publishing their productions; that in case of pe culiar emergency, a sum not exceeding 100/. should be advanced to the same class of per sons; and that authors should receive a per centagc, varying from fifty to ninety per cent on the profits ot the sale of their publications, which should be sent forth to the world under the auspices ofthe Association. The Chair man also stated, that the finances of the Asso ciation were already in a very prosperous con dition, the sum of 3,000/. having already been subscribed by noblemen and gentlemen who approved of the undertaking. Amongst the former were tbe Duke of Somerset, the Mar quis of Londonderry, and the Earl of Dudley. A permanent committee, amongst whom were Sir Gore Ouseley, was th» n appointed; and a committee of general management and two Secretaries, (Mr. Campbell and Sir T.

Lord CocHRANE.-The Loudon Court Jour nal says:- •«We learn from a source to which we give credit, that the royal prerogative is about to be exercised, in the restoration of that distm guished naval officer, Lord Cochrane. Thi9 act will be bailed by the public as a fresh indi cation ofthe kindly feelings that so conspicu ously distinguished our present Monarch." Lord Cochrane is probably the first naval commander of the age, and should England be drawn into a w T ar, no man could be more useful in sustaining her reputation on the seas. We doubt, however, that his restoration would be a popular act. A dark cloud still hangs over his character, which his transactions since hi9 dismissal have by no means tended to remove; and his recal, instead of being “hailed as an in dication t>f the kiudly feelings of the King,” might probably bring back to the minds of ma ny, certain uopleasaut recollections ofthe Duke of Clarence.—N. Y. Standard DOMESTIC* From the Charleston Courier, May 3. The Annual Meeting of the Stockholders of the South Carolina Canal and Rail Road com< puny, was held yesterday at their office in Broad-street, when a report, detailing the ope rations of the Board of Directors for the past year, was laid before the Stockholders for their information and approval; which, with the ac companying Documents, were directed to be printed for public information. The Report states that tho whole extent of the Road from Charleston to tbe Savannah Ri* ver, at a point near the Augusta Bridge, is but 135 miles That 88 miles ofthe same is under contract, and offers for a part of the remainder are now under consideration, with others daily arriving. That part of tbe Road, between Charleston and Summerville, which has been given up hv Contractors who have failed in their engagements, is now in progress of con tract; and there is no doubt but the ensuing fall will shew an increased rapidity in the fiuish- ing ot this pari ofthe route. The whole now under contract, above the Cypress to the White Ponds, 35 miles beyond theEdislo, will be in a continued state of progress during tbe summer; (all tbe Contractors being residents) and tbe trees fur the construction of that sec tion of tbe road mostly felled, ora sufficiency girdled for use. The following Gentlemen were elected Pre sident and Directors of the company, for the ensuing year:— President— ELIAS 1IORRY. Directors H F. Faber, John llaslett, B.

Jackson, produced division and discontent.” ‘ A’r. Van Buren it is true has retired from office, but he returns to n state where his po litical knowledge and consistency are invalua ble—a Slate that can ar.d will support him for ihe highest office when the proper times ar- n\e«—Mr. Calhoun has strengthened Mr Van Buren by his violent opposition—be has returned from tbe Cabinet and is tbrovrn back on the people with a higher reputation for dis interested zeal and upright principle. In this movement however, Mr. Calhoun has sacrific ed Mr. Ingham and Mr Branch, his two friends aad the members of the new Cab'net are not assailable on any point. How stands tbe case thenl General Jackson bas lost two friends in his Cabinet and gained four. Mr Van Buren becomes a private citizen and mingles again wi;h bis political friends m an energetic sup port of the President. On all sides Genera! J -ckson is strengthened & his enemies discom fited, well indeed may Mr. Vau Buren be called the “great magician,” for he raises his wand and the whole Cabinet vanishes.” “ All motive for assailing Mr. Van Buren is at an end; trouble and difficulty have been produced but on whom does it fall—who suf fers, who almost staggers under the blow!— Mr. Calhoun and his imprudent advisers.” The enemy has been completely panic struck by this movement.” Who in the new Cabinet dare they assail ? Not one—and thus cruintdes the opposition to pieces while the administration derives addi tional strength from some who are out and all who are in power.” The above extracts are from an editorial ar ticle in the New-York Inquirer in course of an examination intothe causes ofthe tale blow up It should be borne m mind that the Inquirer is the leading oracle of Mr. Van Buren, in N&w- York. Of course Major Noah, its editor, may be supposed to speak the sentiments of that distinguished fourth part of a i.ate unit. As stiff}'-tent time has not yet elapsed to see what effect Ihe resignations will have on the public sentiment, its effect must have been hy pothecated upon precalculation. Here then we have the beneficial effects of the operations of the political magician, set forth by one of his confidential partizans. From all this it may he inferred, that the movement, was designed, not for tbe benefit ofthe country as was intimated in Mr. Van Huron’s letter to the President, but for the especial advantage of the little magician. This we have never doubted, was the sole oh ject of the late Secretary, but we did not think that one of his leading papers would be fore most to marshal these personal beneficial re sults. Had an opposition paper have made such statements as the obvious inducements to such operations, it might happily have been;set down by the Inquirer as among the misrepre sentations of the 'coalition prints ” Here we have them from ao official source. To suppose that Mr. Van Buren could not have fureseen them as well as Major Neah. would be to de tract more than a “unit” from his “invaluable political knowledge.” If he possesses as much political penetration a? the editor of the Inqui rer, bis resignation may be attributed to a de- sire to “sacrifice two of Mr Calhoun’s promi nent friends"—to cause “trouble and difficul ty” to fall on “Mr. Calhoun and his friends/’ —to “strike a panic into the enemy/’—and to “crumble the opposition to pieces.” Such ac cording to the leading Van Buren print in New York, are the “causes” of the dissolution ofthe cabinet, and as Mr. Noah phrases it, “in the midst of Mr. Van Boren's usefulness.”—Surely the Republic will not have much cause to com plain of the loss of such “usefulness.” The Rail Road.—We are sometimes accost ed with—“Why don’t you give us something about the Rail road—about our Rail road-— about Frederick and the Rail-road?”—The (ruth is, the realization of all former anticipa tions, is now so near the eve of being surpass ed, that past anxiety arising from doubts and fears, has settled down into perfect satisfaction. Certainty has superseded conjecture and spec ulation; so that the interest felt is much less intense than when the effect of the Rail-road on the prosperity of Frederick was involved in doubt.—Then it was necessary to dispot dis mal fearsand gloomy forebodings by pictures of prosperity, dratvn by tbe finger of hope, and set off with the tints of fancy, But now, tbat the work is progressing upon us with a rapidi ty exceeding our expectations, and demonstra ting by practical facts, the immense advantages our town is about to experience, positive good has turned the scale, and rendered argument on our side unnecessary by completely silence* ing it on the other. The rapid increase of our town in population, the numerous stores that have been opened, the brisk nnd lively appearance of our streets, and the evident improvement of business of every kind, atle-1 the truth of these remarks. Since the opening of the Spring there huvo been upwards of twenty new stores erected in different parts of the toivn, all of which have a prospect of doing well. Persons residing at a distance, will perhaps find it to their advan tage to visit Frederick for the purpose of sup plying themselves with dry-goods, groceries, &.c. The supplies are very full—fuller proba bly than at any previous time. The demand for houses has been greater this year, than in any previous year since our residence in Frederick, indeed, we know of none that is vacant, but one or two large man sions remote from the seat of business. The completion ofthe rail road to this place., will form a new era in its history. The desira ble event we have the prospect of being able to record by (he expiration of tbe present year. The work is now advancing at such a rate, as to promise its completion lo this place, early enough to enable tbe farmeis of this vicinity nnd west of us, to have their fall crops convey ed to Balliaiore at an expense much below the present cost, and with much more celerity. Then only will the extraordinary benefits of the Rail road begin to he fully ap reciated. It will place Frederick, in point oftuno, nine hours nearer Baltimore to the traveller, than it is nt present; and to those who have burdens to car ry by waggons, there will be a saving of more than hall the time now consumed. Freight will be much cheaper and more rapid, which will be a saving both of time and of money. To point out all tbe advantages which are to spring from tho Rail road, would be a lengthened task. Byt one of its cfiiefconse- quonces will be to enlighten and expand the minds of all whose proximity thereto, will en able them to adopt the means of improvement it will afford. Thousauds who would otherwise never visit our Atlantic cities, will be induced •o travel thither, am) by personal observation acquire information which could otherwise be obtained only from books, and then perhaps imperfectly. New ideas will be imbibed, new reflections will ensue, and the mind that might have been confined in its views to the narrow compass of a few miles, will be expanded to embrace a vast realm.—These are some ofthe benefits which the Rail road is calculated U> dispense. Thus while the great woik is to fill our pockets, save our labour and our time, it will expand our minds and enlighten our un derstandings.—Frederick Cil.

Literary Notices.—Jl year in Spain T by an Ameri can, 2 vols. 8co.—This is, without exception, the best hook of its class that has appeared for many years. The author, who is, we understand, a Lieutenant Slidell, of the American Navy, travelled in Spain during the year 1326, and appears to have been a most impartial observer. For the correctness of a great part of his boob we can vouch, having a year afterwards travelled over the same ground, but without meeting with any of those moving in cidents of rubbery and murder which are related by Lieut. Slidell io so graphic a manner as to create a painful inte rest in the reader.
