Utebneøl1a:V aitb Ci)uroNtaj)lo 1-3!0rit0. LONDON, SEPT. 11. THE Paris papers to Sunday's date inclusive have -t- been received. An article copied by them from the Gazette d' A u,qsburgh, holds out a prospect of the re- storation of Poland to something like independence, through the representations of Lord Durham.—A new insurrection has broken out in Lithuania. The Rus- sians will have no difficulty in suppressing it: they have bound their victims as it were hand and foot Paris remained tranquil; but Labenon is still in a state of disturbance. It was rumoured that a general insur- rection of the Carlists would take place on the 15th instant. The arrangement of the Ministry remained still a mystery. M. Dupin left Paris on Saturday. -The Court of Cassation, on Friday last, reversed the decision of the Cour Royale of Aux, respecting the passengers taken on board the Carlo Alberto, the com- panions of the Duchess of Berry, and directed that (in- stead of being sent back to Sardinia, and consequently liberated) the prisoners should be brought for trial be- fore the Royal Court at Lyons. The venerable Dean of the Academy of Sciences of Rouen has just com- pleted his 104th year. He is still in the full possession of his faculties. The accounts received yesterday from Holland reach to the 8th, and from Frankfort and Hamburgh to the 5th instant. No allusion is made to the state of the ne- gociations with the Conference in the Dutch papers, which are filled with accounts of inspections and re- views, preliminary to the breaking up of the camps, and the sending the troops into cantonments. The German papers contain no facts to justify, in any manner, fears fur the occurrence of revolt, insurrec- tion, or even of less violent opposition to the will of the Confederation pronounced by the Diet. The Baden Government has dissolved all the Committees formed in that Duchy for the relief of Polish emigrants, de- claring that those brave but unfortunate refugees should in future be maintained at the expense of the State. The letters received from St. Petersburg-h this morn- ing are to the 26th of last month. They state that the intercourse between the Ministry of the Emperor Ni- cholas and Lord Durham had been active, and the opi- nion entertained in the Russian capital was, that the negociations were proceeding favourably. New York papers, to the 17th of August, have been received. If we may credit the news in them from Mexico, the negociations lately going on between Santa Anna and the Mexican Government, have been broken off. The cholera was spreading in North America, but with abated virulence. The accounts from Calcutta. Madras, and Bengal this morning state, that Meetings had been held at the three Presidences, in favour of the English Reform Bill. Many able speeches were delivered. The Sheriff of Calcutta had called a Meeting to consider the pro- priety of petitioning Parliament for protection to real property, in consequence of the recent decision which extended the English Alien Act to India. The cholera had broken out in the garrison at Pettah. Letters from the Swan River state that the natives have been very troublesome, no less than six of the settlers have been murdered by them, and as many more speared. 'I his had chiefly arisen from their ha- ving incautiously ventured into the mountains unarmed. In consequence of these massacres the colonists are keeping a sharp look out, and are determined to make a severe example, in order to put a stop to this alarming practice. Provisions continued exceedingly dear at Swan River. The harvest had proved very fair two hundred acres of wheat, besides barley and other grain, had been got in, and it was expected next year enough would be produced to support the colony, as the farmers were going on with some spirit. The Marquess of Palmella, accompanied by the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, the Chevalier de Barboz;, left town this day for Oporto. They proceed in a Government steamer, with a messenger from the Foreign Office, who is charged with important dispatches for Don Pedro. Speculation is rife as to the contents of these des- patches, but, of course, nothing certain is known but the fact of a Government steamer being placed at the disposal of the Marquess, and the sending of a messenger with des- patches for the Regent, are considered significative proofs of good will towards the Constitutional cause on the part of our Government. The British Consul at Oporto, who was supposed to have had a bias in favour of the Usurper, has been recalled, and a gentleman appointed who was lately Consul at Corunna, and who is an avowed friend to the Por- tuguese Constitutionalists. Sir Robert Wilson is said to have been offered the com- mand of Pedro's army and to have declined, from respect to the Duke of Wellington. General Romarino is also talked of. The registrations for the city of London, under the Reform Act, amount to 16,842 electors for the city, and 384 for the county; Westminster, 10,103, and 746; Marylebune. 6,501, and 277; Finsbwry, 10,378, and 1,02-1. Sir Thomas Baring has finally declined coming forward 'n L again for the Representation of Hampshire, "from a consci- entious conviction of the inadequacy of his strength to undergo the fatigues, and to perform with faithfulness and constancy the arduous and laborious duties, which in the present critical state of the Country must necessarily devolve upon every Member of Parliament." The Wigan and Newton Railway was opened on Monday. It is seven miles long, and very nearly straight and level. The time occupied in steaming the seven miles was fifteen minntes! Sir Walter Scott continues to sink gradually, though not so rapidly as had at first been expected, and he is not sup- posed at all likely to last another fortnight. We are sorry to announce the death of Charles Calvert, Esq., Member for the borough of Southwark, at the seat of his brother-in-law, at Easton Hall, Saxmundham, Suffolk. He was attacked on Friday night, after a day's shooting, by the cholera, and died on Saturday morning at 9 o'clock. Yesterday evening a further respite, during lib Majesty's pleasure, was received at Newgate for William Kennedy and William, Brown.—[See p. 4.] THE CHOLERA.-At Bristol the last week's report shews a diminution in the number of cases of 33, and in the deaths of 47.—At Worcester, the visitation still continues with little variation as to the number of cases, but the deaths decrease.-At Tewkesbury the cases are reduced to seven and at Gloucester, though the number of cases has not mate- rially decreased, symptoms of amelioration begin to be manifest.—At Dudley, the disease increases.—At Droitwich, where the Destroying Angel" has hitherto made frightful ravages, nonew cases have occurred since Wednesday from Kidderminster the accounts are equally favourable.—At Wolverhampton and West Bromwich, the malady is unhappily on the increase, and it still continues with fatal effect at o lÆI bury, Tipton, Darlaston, and Kwgswinford.—From Bromsgrove, the accounts are more favourable, the disease being on the decline.-At Redditch the malady has broken cut, and three deaths occurred there on Thursday.At Coventry seven cases have appeared within the last few days, two of which have proved fatal.—Birmingham have been nearly exempt from this dreadful epidemic, only a few cases having appeared, and those, it has been satisfactorily proved, were imported.—At Shrewsbury there has been a considerable diminution of cases within the last week, and it was hoped the disease would shortly disappear. Total cases, 126; deaths, 43.—At Bilston, the mortality during the last week has been diminished by more than one half. Eleven hundred applications from persons wi th bowel com- plaints have been made in eight days, and Dr. Macann says, he has no hesitation in declaring, that a large portion of the above cases, if ncglecteii, would have passed into cholera, and that of the cholera a large portion would have died. fiTHKs!—MORE LIYES LOST!—Tiie Cork Reporter has brought an alarming account of a conflict between the military and the peasantry in that county. It appears that the Reverend Mr. Gaum proceeded the other day to value the tithes of the parish of Wallstown, near Doneralle. To protect the proctors, a detachment of the 14th regiment of infantry, from Bnttevant, and a large force of police from all the neighbouring stations, were brought to the spot-all under the direction of several Magistrates, among whom were G. B. Low, Esq., Garret Nagle, Esq., Admiral Evans, and General Barry. The process of valuation had scarcely commenced, when the people, to the number of between 1,200 and 1,500, began to give manifest indications of hostility; whilst, on the other hand, the authorities evinced a steady determination to resist any attempts to frustrate the valuation. The people, as they increased in numbers, became more and more resolute and exasperated—stones were thrown at the U1wtarv-the orders to fire upon and charge the peasantry were given by the Magistrates—and a speedy discomfiture of the unarmed peasantry was the result. They instantly retreated, but were met shortly afterwards by a Highland regiment, on their way to the scene of action from Castletown-roche, whereupon another conflict ensued. Altogether four of the peasantry were killed, 10 or 12 badly wounded, and Is or 20 made prisoners. The names of the killed are, William Doyle, a comfortable farmer, aged 50,-he leaves a wife aud nve children; Michael Horrogan, a labourer, cged 27; James Roche a labourer, aged 27 and David Regan, a boy, aged 14. i
