f aturftaj) to JUmtftag'a tiqgtg. LONDON, MARCH 19. WE stated in our last that M. Lafitte, the French Prime Minister, had resigned, and in consequence -ne W a New Ministry has been formed, composed of indivi- duals of a more pacific cast than the last. The French Cabinet now consists of M. Casimir Perrier, Secretary of State for the Interior, and President of the Council of Ministers. Baron Louis, Minister of Finance, in the room of M. Lafitte. M. Barthe, Keeper of the Seals, Minister of Justice, and Pre- sident of the Council of State. Count de Montalivet, Minister of Public Instruction and Ec- clesiastical Affairs, in the Room of M. Barthe. Count d'Argout, Minister of Commerce and Public Works. Vice-Admiral de Rignv, Minister of Marine. Sebastiani and Marshal Soult continue, the former as Minister of Foreign Affairs, and the latter Minister of War. The new Ministry have yet taken no step indicative of their future policy; speculation remains therefore unsatisfied, and opinion as suspended as to their ulti- mate intentions. One Council had been held, at which the King was not present, for the first time since the revolution. Much praise is bestowed upon M. Casimir Perrier for his firmness in standing out for this point; for the King's presence was thought to have exercised a personal influence upon the Members of the Cabinet, and the formal respect exacted by his office and advice interfered with the constitutional responsibility of Mi- nisters, and led 40 a useless waste of time. Paris is represented as quiet; but a patriotic association, to secure the perpetual exclusion of Charles the Tenth and his decendants, had been formed in the capital, and in the course of the first two days received a great number of subscribers. The different journals, at whose offices signatures were invited, publish whole columns with the names and addresses of the new club. The Jour- nalists themselves head the list, and are followed by ardent patriots of all classes—Members of the Chamber of Deputies, lawyers, physicians, proprietors, capi- talists, shop-keepers, students, and artists. Among them also are some officers of the National GUàru, in which capacity it might be presumed they are pledged sufficiently already to maintain the national indepen- dence, without the necessity of any additional engage- ment. The Prefect of the Moselle, however has pro- tested against these Associations. The law has also been introduced into the Chamber of Deputies to compel Charles and his family to sell all the property which they have in France within six months; or, if not sold within that time, to be seized upon for the use of the State. The address of the Regent of Belgium alluded to in postscript of our last, is, under existing circumstances, considered as a positive declaration of war. Opinions may differ as to M. Surlet Chokier's prudence in pro- voking a war at this moment; but, considering that the trust which he has undertaken was confided to him by a Congress composed partly of Deputies from this very province; that the Luxembourgers, to a man, detest the Dutch Government, and call upon the Belgians to assist them in shaking it off; and that the integrity of his kingdom was menaced by the late measures of the King of Holland in appointing a Governor, it is difficult to see how the Regent could have acted othei wise than he has done. The treaties of 1815 are become waste paper by the recognition of the Belgian insurrection, n and this is the only claim which the King of Holland had to the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. The contradiction given in our last to the reported capitulation of Warsaw and the burning of Praga, is, we are happy to say, confirmed. The report ts now ascertained to have been a wilful and base fabrication for the stock-jobbing purposes. So far from either of the events having occurred, the latest news from War- saw represents the Russian troops as having withdrawn from before that city, and that General Diebitsch has now quite altered his plans; that he will not agsin try his fortune by attacking Warsaw, but means to surround and reduce it by famine. The Polish official accounts admit a loss of9000 men put hors-du-combat, in all the engagements, and that the wounded in the hospitals amount to 3600. It appears that they only retired across the Vistula because the thaw had commenced, and they feared that the bridge might be carried away, and their communication with Warsaw and the supplies of provisions and forage, thus cut off. When these ac- counts left, the capitalwas enjoying, though surrounded on all sides by prospects which could encourage only despair, an astonishing tranquillity. The Russians are said to be, completely inactive, General Diebitsch not caring to risk another attack until he has received some furtherreinforcements. Letters from Warsaw contain the following detailed accounts of the battles on the 24th and 25th of February, between the Poles and Russians. The Russians having received considerable reinforcements, not less than 25,000 men, drew forth their whole army in line of battle ia front of the forest, and began a most desperate attack on the left wing of the Polish army, near Jablonna. The attack was manfully sustained by the General Uminski, who had just arrived, having recently made his escape from Prussia; he succeeded, after fighting very hard, to repulse and drive them back, and having taken eight pieces of cannon, spiked them, having neither horses nor time to take them off: he, however, at length succeeded in driving the Russians to the forest, and stop their firing. General Uminski then attacked the Russian centre, and penetrated their lines, making dreadful slaughter, having driven them from their position. It appears that Marshal Diebitsch calculated most on the left wing of his army, where he had an enormous force, with which he expected to be able to penetrate the right lines of the Polish army, situated near Grochow, under the command of Chlopicki and Skrzynecki. The battle was sanguinary in the extreme. The Russians made six tremendous charges, and were six times repulsed with great loss. A seventh time they made a desperate charge, which, being directed against a newly-raised regiment, caused some disorder and a partial retreat; the enemy preceiving this, sent immediately two regiments of cuirassiers, fresh troops, belonging to the reinforcement. They made a tremen- dous attack, and for a moment succeeded in putting the new-formed regiment into disorder, got round to their rear, among the wounded, ammunition, and peasants' waggons; but the newly-raised troops having promptly received the assistance of the Polish Lancers, as sud- denly recovered from their panic, formed themselves again in order of battle, and the two regiments of Russian cuirassiers were literally cut to pieces; only 20 prisoners, mostly officers; were made, and only <30 made their escape to inform General Diebitsch of their < disaster. This affair being so decisive, the Russians left the field of battle, and retired again into their strong hold in-the forest. The Madrid Gazette Extraordinary of the 8th inst. announce another failure of the Constitutionalists; irom which it appears, that a party of the patriots so at Gibraltar under Torrijos had landed enind the Rock, a.nd having escaped thfe vigilance of ^ne forces" stationed att St. Rogier, had penetrated to 'I.. e Konda mountains. It appears also that a plan had een eombined to excite a revolution in Cadiz and the Isle of Leon, where sums />f money had been sent to troops, through the medium of a few merchants whose names Have been discovered, and the landing on e coast "was the signal for the explosion. In the af ter- noon of the 3d the Governor of Cadiz, A. del Hierro y timer, -returning home by the street of Veronica, attendants, was suddenly surrounded by several ruraans, Wrapped up in cloaks; whb gave him six stabs on the back, of which he instantly expired. He had previously received information of the project to assas- sinate him; but, relying on his own courage and the public esteem, he disdained to take any precaution. The indignation produced by this disgraceful act was by no means expected. The inhabitants flew to arms, and instantly four of the murderers were taken, who would have been torn to pieces by the people, if it had not occurred that the sparing of their lives might lead to important discoveries. No other symptom of hostility was evinced, and the people returned quietly to their usual occupations. Of those who landed on the coast several accounts stated that not a man had escaped. The Times of this morning (Saturday) says, The tumults of Italy, and the unsettled disputes of Belgium and Holland, seem at last to be upon the eve of calling for the interference of neighbouring States. Antwerp is a place from which we may be annoyed beyond all conception. It is what Bonaparte called, Lepistolet sur le sein d' Any leterre.' It in no degree menaces the legitimate grandeur of France, for the whole width 11 w w of Belgium is between that city and the French frontier. We are not, therefore, surprised to learn that a British fleet, consisting of six sail of the line, with other vessels, are ordered for the ScheIdt." The King came to town on Wednesday and held a Court at St. James's Palace.—-Mr. Grosvehor kissed hands on his being re-appointed a Lord of the Bed- chamber.. Shortly afterwards his Majesty held a Levee, which was attended by the Dukes of Cumberland and Sussex, Prince Leopold, Prince of Orange, the Foreign Ambassadors, the Cabinet Ministers, the Great Officers of State, and a long list of Nobility and Gentry. Soon after five o'clock his Majesty left the Palace On his re- turn to Windsor. The King* has appointed the 12th of next month as the day on which the Grand Entertainment to the Knights of the Bath is to take place. It is the Anni- versary of Rodney's glorious naval victory, and the entertainment will be on the most munificent scale. The Knights will appear in their full orders, and wear collars. It is reported that the Lord Mayor will be the first Baronet created by his present Majesty, and that letters patent, conferring that dignity upon him, are now in progress. The order excluding surgeons and assistantsurgeons of the navy from the King's Levees has been rescinded, and in future those officers are to be admitted through the Lords of the Admiralty. On Thursday, a half-yearly General Meeting of the Bank Proprietors was held for the purpose of declar- ing a dividend. Questions were put to the Governor, Mr. Palmer, with respect to the renewal of the charter. Mr. Palmer answered, that he knew no more than the public prints had stated,—that Lord Althorp intended to renew the charter by bill. To the question as to the number of Branch Banks, and whether they were a source of profit or loss, the answer was equally satis- factory,—the number the Governor could not tell; and he only believed they were working at a profit-not a considerable profit. TRADE.—The state of trade in all the manufacturing districts is extremely favourable, and there is every prospect of a year even more prosperous than the last. The accounts from the West Rtding of Yorkshire, the seat of the woollen manufacture, are highly encouraging; the mills are in full work, the workmen well employed, and the prices remune- rating. The cotton manufacture, it is well known, is also in a very healthy, if not a very profitable, state. W 6 have been informed that the cutlery business at Sheffield is in a better condition than it has been for the last 15 years; and a similar state of things exists at Birmingham.-Manchester Guardian. ENCOURAGEMENT OF LITERATURE.—On Tuesday a Meeting of the friends and subscribers of the Association for the Encouragement of Literature" was held at the British Coffee House, Coekspur-street, for the purpose of electing a Committee of Management, and transacting other business connected with the Society. Amongst those present were Sir T. Phillips, Bart., Sir G-. Duckett, Bart.. Mr. Campbell the Poet, Dr. fJranville, F. R.S., and Dr. Connoly, of the London University. In the absence of the Duke of Somer- set, who was expected to preside, the Chair was taken by W. A. Mackinnon, Esq., F. R. S., author of The Rise, Progress, and Present State of Public Opinion." The Chairman read the Report of the Provisional Committee. From that document, and a series of Resolutions which were adopted by the Meeting, it appeared that che objects con- templated by the Association were, to raise a capital of 10,0001., by subscriptions of 501. each, from 200 gentlemen, in order to be enabled to publish works of merit, the authors of which might not be able to sustain the expense of pub- lishing their productions that, in case of peculiar emer- gency, a sum not exceeding 1001. should be advanced to the same class of persons; and that authors should receive a per centage, varying from 50 to 20 per cent., on the profits of the sale of their publication which should be sent forth to the world Under the auspices of the Association. The Chair- man also stated that the finances of the Association were al- ready in a very prosperous condition, the sum of 30001. hav- ing already been subscribed by Noblemen and Gentlemen who approved of the undertaking. Amongst the former were the Duke of Somerset, the Marquess of Londonderry and the Earl of Dudley. A Permanent Committee, amongst whom were the Duke, the Earl of Dudley, and Sir Gore Ouseley, was then appointed and a Committee of General Management and two Secretaries (Mr. Campbell and Sir T. Gates) having been named, the Meeting adjourned. THE REFORM BILL.—The debate relating-to the Re- form Bill lasted seven nights. There are many curious circum- stances attached to the number seven, viz :-theseven golden candlesticks, the seven wise men of the east, the seven colours, the seven sounds, the seven stars, the seven wonders of the world. Ancient Rome was built upon seven hills, &c. The gift of prophecy and the power of healing is attributed to the seventh son of a seventh son. When the several Members rose late, or rather early in the morning on the seventh night's debate on the Reform Bill, the House caught the idea of Macbeth, and exclaimed, "Another yet! a seventh J I'll see no more!" and the House of Russell dispersed the House of Commons .-M irror. MR. HUNT AND MR. W. PEEL.—Mr. W. J. Peel, (Sir Robert Peel's brother,) in the course of the Reform discussions last week, spoke of the unsatisfactory plans pro- posed by Ministers, and declared that their adoption would only let in divers other notions; and, amongst various illus- trations and allusions, in luckless hour, he ventured to re- mark that the Hon. Member for Preston, for instance, would have his matchless scheme to remedy the alleged de- fects of the representation. Mr. Hunt was not present when the unlucky but not easily-to-be-forgiven, allusion was made. However, he was in his seat on Monday night, and Mr. W. J. Peel, who is really a good-natured harmless sort of a man, was two or three times in cheery chat with the Hon. Member for Preston," but there is no coaxing that will make some people forget certain kinds of allusion—and so, on the occasion of a reform Petition, up started Mr. Hunt, andsaid, "I understand that an Hon. Member (turning round, and looking at the said Mr. W. J. Peel,) on a former evening, alluded toitty profession, ortrade; in reply, I have only to observe, that his father was the first gentleman of his family, while my father was the first tradesman in mine." The retort was greatly relished in the House, and called forth hearty cheers and laughter; and thesmoking-room"—an adjoining apartment, where Hon. Members smoke" one another, or their friends, or any body else that may come in the way, and write letters—also enjoyed the joke, many "a good natured friend" observing, that a very useful spoke had been put in the wheels of the spinning-jennies." ROYAL BoN MoT.—The Duke of Orleans (father of the present King of the French), lived on terms of the greatest intimacy with the Duke of Queensberry; their intercourse was made the subject of a bon mot by the Prince of Waies (George TV.) A sufficient knowledge of the French, lan- guage was not among the attainments of the Duke of Queens- berry, who yet valued himself on this as on every other ac- complishment. He happened to speak before the Prince of his being on particular good terms with the Duke of Orleans.. I understand that, on the contrary, you never agree," said the Prince. "Your Royal Highness," replied the Duke, "is misinformed: we never had the slightest difference." That is strange," rejoined the Prince, for they say you never speak to him without giving him bad language."
