SATURDAY, OCT. 15. We have received this morning, by special express, all the Paris papers of Thursday, and the late edition of the Messager des Chambres, dated yesterday. In the extracts which we have made from these papers, we find it stated that military preparations on rather a large scale are going on in Spain. What the object of these L% preparations may be is only conjectured: and the con- jecture is, that if Russia, as people imagine, will inter- fere against France in any approaching contest, Spain will be ready to co-operste on the south with the forces of the Emperor. An alliance offensive and defensive is said to be entered into between Ferdinand and Mi- guel, whose forces will we suppose, be promised in the same cause; but we think that tho internal affairs of their own kingdom will give these potentates quite enough to do, without meddling with those of their neighbours. The Messager, however, denies the truth of these statements, and says chat the Government has received no information of the kind. It adds, that the movement of large bodies of troops to the frontiers spoken of in the National, is nothing more than that some regiments have been ordered to march and relieve the garrisons in the frontier fortresses. Some 1talian journals mention that a new organised being has been discovered in the interior of Africa, which seems to form an intermediate link between ve- getable and animal life. This singular being has the I shape of a spotted serpent. It drags itself along on the ground, and, instead of a head, has a flower shaped like a bell, which contains a viscous liquor. The flies and other insects, attracted by the smell of this juice, enter into the flower, where they are caught by the ad- hesive matter. The flower then closes, and remains shut until the prisoners are bruised and transformed into chyle. The indigestible portions, such as the head and the wings, are thrown out by two lower spiral openings. This vegetable serpent has a skin resem- bling leaves, a white and soft flesh, and instead of a bony skeleton, a cartilaginous frame filled with yellow marrow. The natives consider it delicious food. WHOLESALE MURDER.—(From the Chambersburg (Pa.) Republican, Sept. 13.)—One of the editors was in company with a gentleman on Wednesday last direc from Halifax, whp stated that he had witnessed the trial of Henry Gambles, Capt of the Lady Sherbroke, from Londonderry, shipwrecked near Cipe Ray, on the 19th ult., by which 213 persons lost their lives, the particu- lars of which were given in our last. Capt. Gambles was convicted of intentionally wrecking the ship to get at the insurance, and sentenced to be hunij; arter which he confessed that he deserved the punishment. Our informant states that so heart-rending were the details of this horrible scene, in vvhich nfcarly 300 hu- man beings were consigned to a sudden and watery grave, that the whole Court, and apf arentlyall the spectators, shed tears. One of the witnesses, whose arm was broken, had lost his wife and a large family. DUBLIN.—The address moved at the Dulmn meeting contains the following passage :—"That if the Reform Bill did not pass, then the repeal of the union would be sought for, not by those alone who sought for that measure at present, bat by every individual in Ireland, no matter wh-it his former opinions might have been." The next resolution was—" I'Uat inasmuch gs on be late division in the Jlousje of Lords -on the Iteofrw I3»U. ;the balance was turned against the King, the Commons, and the people, by the Bishops of the established church, we will, in the calamitous event of a Tory Ad- ministration obtaining the reins of Government, call uponjhe people of the empire to follow a course with regard to taxation and tithes pursued bv the Society of 'Friends towards certain impositions of the church es- tablishment." Thanks were then voted to pari Grey and the rest of his Vaiesty s ;"u e for their ener-j ti I -getic conduct during the progress of the Bill.

¥ T LONDOuNt, THURSDAY, OCT. 13. -m-OLAND.-Extr.-ict of a pr-ivate letter fiom War- ir saw, elated the 29tii ult This.capital pre- sents the appearance of one vast biwouac—ad- vanced posts and patrols are found at every corner. The Russians have denounced to the police Several thousands of persons who have been zealous in v l.he national cause. Since the 8th instant, the day on which it resumed its functions, the police have been constantly etuploveti in making arrests, and in the first- two days of the restoration, upwarus of 1,000 persons j of all ages and classes, were thrown into prison, and confined with the worst of malefactors. Since that pfriod, 250 men, shut up in one of the courts of the prison, were fired upon for nearly two hours in succes sion, under pretence of a revolt of the malefactors, though not less than four-fifths were confined on sus- picion of political offences. There are now upwards ofi S,500 incarcerated, and they will esteem themselves fortunate if they are not all sent to Siberia. Poland, has, indeed, sunk into the toinb." Another letter from Warsaw, which miraculously escaped the claws of the Russian butchers, was received on Tuesday in Paris, by a person of high respectability, to which the following postscript was annexed :—"The Russian officers here (Warsaw) express their certainty of a new and more arduous campaign in the ensuing spring. On one fact you may rely, I pledgemyseifon its veracity, viz. that orders have been issued for an immense quantity of stores and provisions and every thino- indicates that in a short time we shall have 150 or 200,000 more Muscovite soldiers to provide for." The Russian-Polish army was only the van-guard of the Russian-French army. Count Sobanski, one of the chiefs of the insurrec- tion in Volhynia, having been taken prisoner, was at first condemned by the Emperor Nicholas to five years' confinement in chains, but has since been condemned to hard labour for life and although he has a nume- rous family, the whole of his property, which is very considerable, has been confiscated. The Prussian Go- vernment has also sequestrated the estates of the pa- triots of the Grand Duchy of Posen, who, during the Polish war, ranged themselves under the national ban- kers; amongst others, those of Generals Uminski and Chlapowski, and Counts Mathieu Milzynski and Clila- powski. We are gripved to say that the Polish army no longer exists; pursued, discomfited, and harassed by the hordes of their Muscovite enslavers, the relics of the patriots of Poland have been driven to seek an assylum in a foreign country. The Emperor Nicholas is dangerously ill. Accounts have been received, that he is scarcely expected to live, PATLIS.-Tlie Parisian Journals are filled with dis- sertations, founded on the rejection of the Reform Bill, and the destruction of the hereditary quality of the French Peerage—a sentence which was pronounced hy the Chamber of Deputies OH Monday, by a majority of 238! the numbers having been 324 to 86, This overwhelming majority is ascribed to the new impetus given to the measure by the conduct of our House of Lords. So strong had the anti-aristocratic spirit be- come that when a M. Teste, on Tuesday last, in the Chamber of Deputies, proposed something like a quali- fied heredite the Chamber rose en masse against it. Tlius have the English Tories precipitated the ruin of their French contemporaries. Paris remained tranquil, but the public mind was greatly excited, not so much by the important question of the heredite, as by the actual situation of England, from which the next ac- counts were looked for with intense aiixiety.-I t is sta- ted, in a private letter from Paris, dated on Sunday, that the French Government is preparing for war, in consequence of certain manifestations made by Prussia to increase its military force. Extract of a letter dated the 23d of Sept. written by Ol, young gentleman at Lisbon, to his friends in the vi- cinity of Dorchester:—" The Portuguese have a 74-o-un ship lying in the Tagus, with 500 prisoners on board, same of whom they shoot every day on shore, in a small court they have made for the purpose, no one but the military being allowed to be present. It was reported that Don Miguel was to have been proclaimed King on Sunday, the 25th. The day that the Prince Regent and Asia arrived, and were sailing up the Tagus, Don Miguel and the Royal Family were at Beleai, but im- JOcdiately on being acquainted of the arrival of two British ships of the line, the Don and his company en- tered their chariots and drove off as fast as their horses 9ould gallop, and all the people at JjeJeoi seemed quite frightened, and fled into the country with all speeu, so that the place was quite deserted. Two Portuguese officers and 20 men were to be shot on the 23d. 0 It is highly dangerous for any Englishmen to be in Lisbon after dark, and as for going into the country, it would he certain death to attempt it. Don Miguel allows the Portuguese to amuse themselves every Sunday with bull 6 fights at the Opera House." His Majesty's letters patent have passed the great seal of Ireland, for appointing Dr. Richard Whateley to the Archbishopric of Dublin, and Bishopric of Glandclagh, vacant by the death of Dr. VVm.

FRIDAY, OCT. 14. PORTUGAL.—Lisbon Gazette* to the 1st instant have come to hand. One of them states that two English Wirrs had arrived at Oporto, upon which the Consul had issued a notice that they were destined for the re ception of such English subjects as might desire to take refuge in them in case or any disorder. The no- tice at the same time forbade any interference with po- litics on the part of British subjects, and stated that in case of disobedience, it <vould be at their own peril, and th&t the English Government would not interfere in their behalf. According to these Gazettes, the 29th of September, the fete day of Don Miguel, was cele- brated at Lisbon with great rejoicings. Twenty-one niore soldiers of thp second regiment had been tried and condemned to death for mutiny. Two DUELLISTS KILLED.—A letter dated St. Louis. on the Mississippi, August 29, contains the following Account of a sanguinary duel fought there:—"A duel Vtween the Hon. Saucer Pettis and Major Thomas Biddle, took place lust Friday afternoon, at five o'clock precisely, on the land opposite this city. It appears that Mr. Pettis had fully made up his mind to die, and that like a man. Having practised from three feet to lVny distance, he became a good shot at any distance., Major Biddle alwaysjsaid that Pettits's friends would "8.his murderers, as he was confident lie would kill him, i\n,d ththc would escape with, at most, a trifling wound. Until they arrived on the ground, where he found Pet- tis as firm, as a roek, and not until they took their 8taMs» dUUMsjof Biddle change in the least. Pettis's second made some objection a-percussion pistol of Biddle's, and asked Pettis if Biddle should fight witi) i it? Pettis inquired of Lieut. Martin Thomas, the se- condj if the flint and pan were good? 'Then,' said Pettis, let him have it.' When they took their stands, Biddle declared, in the presence of God, he had no animosity against Mr. Pettis. Pettis looked over his shoulder, but made no reply.

APPEAL TO THE PRIVY COUNCIL .011 PERMISSION TO Buity OR BURN HINDOO WIDOWS ALIVE.—The Britidli public will learn with amazement scarcely lets than lhe indignation a knowledge of the fact must excite, that an English lawyer has come to this coun- try from India, to prosecute an appeal before the Priyv Council, made by a few Brahmins in Bengal, against Lurd Wm. Bentick's prohibition of suttees. This diabolical custom had its origin in the excessive jea- lousy of the Hindoo Princes, who, with a view to pre- vent their numerous widows forming subsequent at- tachments, availed themselves of the-ir irresponsible power, and with the aid of the priests it was promulga- ted as if by sacred authority, that the wives of the Hindoos of every cast, who desired future beactitude, should immolate themselves on the demise of their husbands! Since 1756, when the British power in India became firmly established, upwards of 70,000 widows have been cruelly massacred A Brahmin possesses the privilege of marrying as many wives as he pleases. Vnuntu, a Brahmin, who died at Bagnapore, had more than one hundred ivives; twenty two were burned at his death the fire was kept burning three days;-lie had married four sisters,two of whom were "burned with his corpse. A short time before Lord Bentick's order, a Rajah in the hill country, who died, had twen- ty eight wives burned with his body! The Lawyer now in London, to plead before the Privy Council for the restoration of these abominations, was in Calcutta in Dec. 1829, when Lord Wm. Bentick, vindicated huma- nity by the- abolition of such 'strange, foul, and un- natural' murders, and j knows the God-like act was hailed with enthusiast by juillions of the Hindoos; that a deputation of th Brahmins waited on the Go- vernor General to express their heartfelt satisfaction, ami that the whole of the Sepoy atmv were enraptured at the act. The appeal is. now set down for hearjng: before the Privy Council.—JEW India Magazine. j
