We, Wixstasi, by the Grace of Gov, King of the bre tberlands, Prince of Orange Nassau, Grand Duka of Luxemburg, &c. &c. &c. 0 To all to whom these presents shall come, greeting, From the moment that we assumed the Royal Dynasty it has been our most ardent wish to see all the in:nibitants of the new kingdom united, under the sl aw political institutions, and all inducement 4o envy or discord to be thus removed. In consequence of this, the Constitution that .is Arcady binding upon one part of our subjects w .,i; necessarily to be ad apted to the interests of all, 11 :1 conformably to the intentions of the Monarchs t;,whose policy, under the dipection of the Divnew r a lvivt:NcE, this new state of things is to be awl. • hum]. e , The Committee to whom we confided this im• p:►rtant task consisted of men, whose talents and pa. triotism Lad acquired them the respect of th,:ir fellow citizens. - _ " But, however perfect might be the confidence which we placed in them, we thought it advisable, l a an a2air so important to the general welfare, t endeavour to learn the general sentiments upon tt:e which was the fruit of their deliberations. In the Northern Provinces, the Constitution had pointed eut to us the way to attain this end, and the States-General were summoned, consisting of double the usu4l number of members. lit the S .uthern Pro vinces, where there was n' Assembly could be onsidered as legally eepr..senting the People, the measure was thought of which a year ago, ca the iatroduction of the first Constitution into the United Nrt:erlan s, was executed without any opposition. But, notwithstanding this example, the affair was de linerately examined ; and it was by the advice of the Committee of Revision that we resolved to assemble the Notables in each Arroudi.lscalcat, in proportion is its population. 14 We !Live learnt with sorrow that out endeavours have been mistaken or mi.uaderstood, . and that foe teasms which must afflict every good Netheshinder, tae measure we commanded has not had the result which we expected from it. " Almost a sixth part of the petsatis sommomed Lave not appeared in the AsseMblies, and though their absence may be Considered as a proof that they are satisfied with the praposed Constitution, it would have been more agreeable to us if nobody had missed the opportunity afforded him of freely expressing his sentiments on the highest interests of the State. " Of the 726 Netables, by whom the Project is rejected, 126 have expressly declared, that it was on account of some articles relating to religious worship e—articles which, agreeing with the long subsisting legislation, founded upon treaties, and in unison with the priilcieles which the most religious Sovereigns have introduced Into the European political system, could not be omitted in the Censtitution of the Ne therlands without risking the existence of the Monat e ' city, and without weakening the security of the rights even of those whom these stipulations have the most alarmed. " If this truth had not been obscured by some =en, from whom society ought on the contrary to have expected the example of evangelic charity and toleration, the above-mentioned votes would have jsincd the .527 Notables who have approved the project. " The States-General have also communicated to us their approbation, which is the more remarkable as being unanimously given in a very numerous as :. a:sly—it must be considered as the clearly expressed opinions of the Northern Provinces. • • "And since after this enumeration and comparison tF the votes respectively givea, there cats be no doubt of the neitiments and wishes of the great majority of 411 Cru su;s;.:cts, and that the assent of this majority lending, we de not hesitate to fulfil our obliBation by icansally sanctioning the project which has been •tommanicated by us to the States General and the sota:ske, and by deciarin ss as we declare by these present:, C..at the dispositions contained in it form, from tiva es:anent, the consitution of the kingdom of tLe Net:ierlands. " We sletll proceed without delay to the measures Yete:sery to execitte these dispositicns ; find it is our articular resolution, by a speedy convocation of the t Aro Chambers, to eneble the States General to exe cute the legislative pow ere. The oath which we shall pronounce in the midst of them Las been long since el - vanillin our heart; never have we bed, never can we have any other views than to augment the general . prosperity, and to protect public and indivdual liberty and the rights of all and every cf our subjects. Dis posed to respect the institutions which arc to guaran !ee these precious pledges, we expect and require the same respect from all the inhabitants of these coun tries; and he who should in future allow himself, either by his actions or writing, to disturb or to shake the sentiments otsubmission, attachment, and fidelity, arhicit owes haie to Maine himself for the had iiiiwquences tilat will arise to him frorii the strict application of be laWi against c; Imes of this nature " But far final us be the idea, thirthe slppricatiob of these laws can ever becomi necessary. This day, which puts an end to all uncertainty, must also puts an end to all agitatton, all dissension. The Belgians will not be blind to the benefits which Pitovinence otters them. The *nice of the passions will soon be appeased by the calm judgment which characterises the nation, and all will participate in the conviction that the national happiness, the foundations of which are just laid, cannot be completed and confirmed but by mutual good will, and by entire confidence in the Sovereign to whom they are all equally dear, and whose only thought is to consecrate his life to their prosperity and their glory. " We ordain these presents to be published in the usual form, inserted in the bulletin of the laws and the official journal, and registered in the superior courts of justice at . the Hague, Brussels, and Liege. a We ordain that the Administrative Authorities and others shall see to their execution without any connivance. " Given at the Hague, the 24th day of August, in the year 1815, and the second of our Reign. (Signed) " WILLIAM. (By the King) " A. R. Fm.cic." 1 BRUSSELS, AUGUST 24. The reserve army begins to form on the banks of the Scheldt ; the head-quarters are already fixed at Ghent, and the several corps of infantry and cavalry which will compose k are arriving from all sides. This army, which is estimated at 22,000 men, is under the command of General Tindal; should cir. cumstances require, it will proceed to the French frontiers. They write from Luxemburg, that the Comman dant of Thionville lus been summoned for the last time, and has been at the same time informed, that if he persists in his defence, he shall be personally responsible for.all the evil consequences which may result frnm this obstinacy. Verdun has hoisted the white fin, but refuses to admit the Allies. The Prussian corps and the heavy artillery, still stationed upon the Meuse, have received orders im mediately to procced into France, and besiege the places that still hold out. BERLIN, AUGUST 19. When Prince Blocher waited upon our King on the 3d August, to congratulate him on his birth-day, his Majesty was pleased to honour the services of the veteran warrior by a favour wholly unexpected in its kind. He hung round him an order purposely Created for him. alone, consisting of a large star, em broidered with diamonds upon a geld ground, and the iron cross in the middle. The Prince was ex tremely affected at the distinguished favour thus con ' feared on him by his Majesty. We are also assured that the Prince Regent of England has sent to our respected hero the insignia of an order never bac& given to a foreign General. FROM THE FRENCH FRONTIERS, AUGUST 14. The accomplices in the conspiracy which has been discovered at Paris held their secret meetings in the Fauabourg of St. Marceau. The explosion was to have taken place on the 6th of this month ; a part of the diabolical plan was to seize the persons. of the august Sovereigns and Commanders in Chief. BREMEN, AUGUST 17. Before the orders brought by the Duke of Welling ton's courier for the Danish Mops to halt, could be forwarded to all the columns; the heads of those en. lumns had advanced to Meppen, Turstinau, and Os nabruck. The whole is now cantoned between these places, Bremen and Oldenburg, so that it can be as sembled in one day and continue its march. A cou rier is gene this morning with dispatches from the Prince of Hesse to the Duke of Wellington. FRENCH PAPERS. We have received Paris Papers of Saturday. Friday having been the anniversary of the birth ofLoutsXVl 11. these Journals are principally occupied with details of festivities and rejoicings which took place on the occasion. It was of course a Court-day. All the Sovereigns, the Ministers, and great men, who now honour Paris with. their presence, paid their congra ttil?tury respects to the KING, and throughout the metropolis the usall demonstrations of jry wer: exhibited. The trial of /sky has not yet commenced. His wife continues to exert herself to obtain his pardon, but her efforts must prove unavailing. The welfare of society demands that men of his stamp and character, when once brought within reach of the law, shall be impar tially judged by it, and brought under its inflictions. He has demanded to be tried by a Council composed of Maishals. This may be his idea of a trial by his Peers, and, practically considered, would be hailed by many as the best mode of trial that could pos. sibly be devised. It would be exceedingly conve nient, for instance, for certain individuals, when car ried to the Old Bailey, to be permitted to send for a jury to the Hulks, at Woolwich. His demand reminds us of the sagacity of General EXCELMAM about a year ago'. He informed the Minister that he would surrender and take his trial, as soon as he should find, by the publication of the natbes which were to compose the Court, that he was to be tried by men of honour. His crime was so fatly established as to dfy td CO:ninon iense and tiling in the shape of an evasion; bat hi irins s aequitted! i?ron pui private Correspondent at Paris, Sae have received information *Met) sets the AI, e question it rest.

'I I IIC Report, we are assured, is authen. tic. Its publication was prevented only by the man date of the Sovereigns now at Paris. Tnc Parisians, indeed the French generally. where ever the Prussian military have made their appear ance, complain loudly of the insult and abuse to which they are compelled to submit : our limits, however, do not permit us this day to enter upon that subject. The *dal Casette contains a notification of a for mal visit paid on Friday to the King of FItANCE by the Emperors of Ruesra and Amirnros. the Kiag of PRUSSIA, the I'rince•of ORANGE, the Prussian Princes, &c. on the occasion of the birth-day of the French Sovereign. His Majesty on the same day received the felicitations ,of the Foreign Ambassadors, and M. ANGZI.O was presented as Minister from Constan tidople. The rest of the ofEzial paper is filled with an Ordonnance for new modelling the Council of State and lists of the*Members. PARIS, AUGUST sd. The Duke of Otranto, one of the Deputies, iirmai nated ti one and the same time by the Department of the Loire and also by that of the Seine and Marne, has made his option for the Litter. It is said that a Council, composed of French Marshals, is convoked to decide on ;he alf.►ir of Nry. Massena and Augereau are mentioned as likely to be members of this Council. Although the Journal of Toulouse positive an nounces that General Ramel died on the 18th, pri vate letters announce that on the lath he was still alive, and that hopes were even entertained of his re covery. • From Florence they write on the 4th instant, that the Tuscan military Commandant of the Island of Elba has reported that two vessels and an English frigate have successively brought intelligence to Elba that the white flag is displayed in Corsica, and that the whole Island has declared for Look XVIII. The Prussian General Zietben has established his head-quarters at Evretix. . The Austrians had not entered Nimes on the Igth. Tranquillity is restored there as well as throughout, the department. The Uerman Journals announce that the Prussian General Rasdlich is to reside . With Bonaparte at St. Helena, as the Prussian Commissioner. It appears from certain memorandums in Bona pane's Mad-writing, found at Charleroi, that Bar. %rand rtici lard, diring the 100 days 'that his master reigned s t free gift, 800,000 francs (.634,000 aterling) g; Afftrand is therefore not exactly that dis- interestedsotteh Gentleman whom his friends repre sent him. • Madame Ney presented herself two days since to the Duke de Rohan. We are also assured that this Lady has likewise made several applications to a great Monarch, but that her answer was not favour. able. To-day, from noon to three o'clock, the court yard of the Thuilleries was crowded with carriages, con taining personages of distinction, who came to con gratulate his Majesty. A great concourse of people also filled the various churches of the capital. The Clergy, in particular, strove to give an additional solemnity to this grand national fete. Many pious persons were assembled in the Metropolitan Church.' which recalls so many interesting scenes. The Se:m all Hymn Rex mans Region, composed in the 17th century by Habert, Bishop of Vabres, for the festival of St. Louis, was chaunted, accompanied by mosic, and followed by the grand chorus rival in sternum. Many of the shops in Paris were shut, and in the evening there were superb illuminations. Every whore groupes of dancers were to be seen. FRONTIERS OF. SWITZERLAND, AUGUST 25. The bombardment from Huninguen in the direc ten of Basle still continues. This morning, by way of celebrating Napoleon's birth-day, the fire was very vigorous. in the course of the day, the shouts of Mire Eiversur! Vivi Napokoa I were distinctly heard from the ramparts. ROME, AUGUST 10. Louis Bonaparte has lately pad sexcral. visits to the Cardinal Secretary of State. It is said that their object was to secure to his mother and other members of hisfamily permission to reside in the Roma* States. NAPLES, AUGUST t. The armed banditti of thi Calabria: have nearly all dispersed.since the rettirn of the King. Six Cam miusipners have been appointed to travel through the kingdom to - redress grievances, and to restore perfect tranquillity. CESI, AUGUST 10. - • Two carriages have been stopped , here travelling post, in -which were three women pad deb men. It is thought that Joseph Bonaparte aad his suite com posed this groupe, and they are therefore scat forward to Rome.
