l“ROM Et\‘GLANi').-- London papers
to the 18th ult. being one day ltllcl‘, were
received last week.
The result of the vlcctions,as far as had
been ascertained, was as follows:
\Vhole number of members returned
566, of whom 347 are in favor of rofurm,
and 219 against it. A comparison oftlie
nienibors now returned with the members
of the last Parliament from the same pla-
ces, sliows a gain of 182 in favor of reform,
and of 42 against it, making the net gain
in favor of reform 150. In this estimate
the return ofa member on one side, in
place of 21 member ofthe last parlianient
who was on the niherside, is called a gain
oftwo. Sixteen members were yet to
be returned for England,&; 41 for Ireland.
The Morning Herald of the 18th, says,
“ VVe understand that about 20,000 fire-
locks have been recently shipped for Hol-
land and Austria. They are entered by
permission ofthe Customs, as wrought i-
ron, the barrels being packed in one case,
and the locks in another. '
“ A good deal ofappreliension exists,”
says the same paper, “ as to the fate of
Poland. We understand that the Russians
are marching down upon the frontiers in
imineiise numbers. .Is Sarinatia again to
fall“ unwept without a crime.” That she
may fall is possible--but she will not fall
unwcpt. We do not, however, despair of
Poland. She has unequivocally declared
for independence ; and we liave great
faith in the seutiuient--“for a nation to
be free it is enough that she wills it.”
French papers uftlie 17th, confirm the
retreat of Dwernecki into the Austrian
territory, and add, the cannon and arms
have been given up to Gen. Rudiger, the
Russian General. Russia has refused the
mediation of England and France in favor
of Poland, and rcdoubled her energies to
suppress the revolution. The Polish gen-
erallissimo occupied a strong position.
The Russian army is acquiring access-
ions ofstrength fi om the Asiatic provinces.
It appears that the rising against the
Russians in Volliynia, did not amount to
much. The same may also be said of
Lithuania. Several of the insurgents who
were taken with arius in their hands, were
treated according to military law 8.: shot.
The Polish government has ail-‘early is-
sued a new coin ; the Polish eagle is on"
one side, and on the reverse a hand hold-
ing a sabre.

From the Liverpool Mercury of.Iuly 2.
Cure for I-Iyzlrop/i.0bi'a.—As the Hy-
druphobia season has set in, we comply
with the request of a correspondent by
giving insertion in the following : What
we happento know of the extraordinary
property of the chloride of lime induces
us to put greatfaiih in its properties in the
cure ofthe wound inflicted by dogs, or any
other nieans.——[Edits. Mcrcur_v.]
We are indebted to M. Coster,a French
physician, for the following valuable dis-
covery, as a prevention to hydrophobia.
-—Take two table spoonfuls of fresh chlo-
ride oflimo in powder, mix it with lialfa
pint of water, and with this wash keep the
wound constantly bathed, and frequently
renewed. The chlorine gas possesses the
power of decomposing this tremendous
poison, and renders mild and harmless that-
venom against whose resistless attack the
artillery of medical science has been so
long directed in vain. It is necessary to
add that this wash should be applied as
soon as possible after the i~ui"liction- ofthe
bite. Another plan, whicli has been ex-
tensively tried at Breslau and Zurich, and
mauyoilier parts of the Continent, cori-
sists not merely in cutting out the bitten
part, (mere incision has been found too
often uuavailing,) but in combining with
the incision Of the effectual means for
keeping open the wound and maintaining
it in a state of suppuration during a period‘
ofat least six weeks. Other curative means
as the exhibition of mercury, balla-deuna,
or lyltoe, were also-employed in these cas-
es ; but upon these, it is thought, little re-i
liance can be placed. The following arc
the results of this treatment :——--From
1810 to 18111, the number of persons ad-
mitted into the Breslau hospital was 184,
ofwhom two only died of hydrophobia:

VVAR COMMENCED BUT NO BLOOD SHED
Fromft/Le U. S. Telegrayi/2..
The following correspondence speaks
for itself; and is further confirmation of
what we have said relative to the causes
which dissolved the late cabinet. \V_e rc-
serve, for a subsequent notice, our coin-
ment upon this extraordinary attempt to
silence this press, by holding oiliers res-
ponsible for our statement ofa fact which,
so far as Mr. Ingham was concerned, had
been stated in the Philadelphia Inquirer,
several weeks ago, the truth of which can-
not be denied. It is proper, however,
that we should say that Mr. Iugliam hav-
ing completed the important reports, for
which he continued in the discharge of
the duties as Secretary of ilie Treasury,
had made his arrangements to leave the
Department yesterday. In the morning
he was engaged in taking leave of his
friends, when Major Eaton, accompanied
by several others, made his appearance in
the Treasury building. Their conduct
was such as to attract the notice of the
clerks ; and a report soon was circulated
that he had come there for the purpose of
making a personal attack upon Mr.’ Ing-
lizim. One of his friends immediately ap-
prised Mr. Inghain of it ; and be, having
prepared himself for the occasion, pas-
passed to his office without molcsiation,—-
Some short time afterwards Major Eaton,
with two of his b'rotliei':-iii-law, Doctor
Randolph and l\*laj. Lewis, left the build-
ing. Mr. Ingham, we are informed, will
leave the city for Pennsylvania, to-niorrow.

Sin: I have studied to disregard the a-
busive slanders which have arisen through
so debased a source as the columns of th
U. S. Telegraph. I have been content
to waitfor the full dovelopemeut of what
he had to say, and until persons of respon-
sible character should be brought forth to
endorse his vile abuse ofine and my fam-
ily. Iii that paper ofthis evening is‘ con-
tained the fullowing remark of my wife :
“It is provon that the ladies ofthe Secreta-
ries of the Treasury, and Navy and
Attorney General. refused to associate
with her." This publication appears in a
paper which professes to be friendly to
you, and is brought forth under your im-
mediate eye. Idesire to know of you.
whether or notyou sanction or will disu-
vow it. The relation we have sustained
towards each other authorizes me to de-
niaiid an immediate answer.
Very respectfully,

Sin: I have not been able to ascertain,
from your note oflast evening, whether it
is the publication referred to by you, or the
fact stated in the Telegraph, which you
desire to know whether I have sanctioned
or will disavow. Ifit be the first you do-
niand,it is too absurb to merit an answer.
Ifit be the last, you may find authority for
the same fact in a Philadelphia paper, a-
bout the first ofApril last, which is deem-
en to be quite as friendly to you as the
Telegraph may be to me, When you
have settled such accounts with your par.
ticular friends, it will be time enough to
make demands ofuihers. In the mean
time, I take the occasion to say, that you
iuust bonota little deranged, to imagine
that any blustering ofyours could induce
me to disavow what all the inhabitants of
this City know, and perhaps halfthe peo-
ple of the United States believe to be true.
I am,sir, respectfully yours, &c.

Sm: I have received your letter of to-
day, and regret to find that to a frank and
candid inquiry brought before you, an an-
swer impudeiit and" insolent, is returned.
To injury unprovoked, you are pleased to
add insult. What is the remedy? It is
to indulge the expectation that, though a
man may be mean enough to slander, or
base enough to encourage it. be ye: may
have bravery sufficient to repair die wrong.
In that spirit I demand ofyou satisfaction
for the wrong and injury you done me.--
Your answer must determine whether you
are so far entitled to the name and charac-
ter of a gentleman as to be able to act like
one. Very respectfully,
J. H. EATON.

you would not knowingly give circulation

Rev. Mr. Campbell; and that subsequent-
ly I came as the destroyer, and blighted
his highly flourishing society. Had your‘
political informer known much about Mr.
Campbell and myself, he might have told
you, that we have bee.i intimate friends
since 1814; that I conducted Mr. Cainp- ,
bell through the greater part of his studies,
preparatory to his of entering on._tho work '
of the ministry; that he has ever since
spoken of me as an elder brother,on whom,
under G-:>d,mucli of his usefulness and hap-
piness have been made to depend; that
our mutual confidence in, and respect for
each other, have never been shaken ; and
that instead ofdoing any thing to destroy
his congregation in “fasliiiigton, I have at

The whole of his conduct in relation to-
tlie subject on which your correspondent.
represents us as being at variance,hasbeen,.

edge, such as was honorable to himself,
and not in the least discreditable to me.——-

that he has ever said or done any thing to-
