They still continue to notice the attacks of some of the French Journals on the in , ,Eitutions of the Nttherlands: The following ate extracts : BRUSSELS, Nomura 16. The Anti de la Religion, printed at Paris, has just made a most brutal attack on the Ministers and several public functionaries of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Among those who have not the good fortune to please it, is the Count de C,, one of the most distinguished Members of the Second Chamber of the States Genet al, not only as an orator, bat as a statesman ; it points out this honourable Deputy as destined to support, in the Second Chamber, the new laws which will be preienteJ by the (iovetn,ment. While The Priend of Religion was publishing this I.ole calumny, Count de C— was on his wartaltaly. The Courier Francais conjectures that the journey ni Count C. may have for its object a special mission to the Holy See, consider ing the present state of ecclesias tical affairs in our country. We do not know whether there is any truth in this, but it is certain that the malice of the Anti de la Religion is a clumsy falsehood. It it affirmed (and there are certain symptoms which induce us to believe it), that rnost positive orders have just been given, that the greatest toleration shall be exercised in the Netherlands, tuwards writers who shall confine aemselyes to pointing nut public anuses, and criticising the measures of Covet nment, without attack ing the reputation and individual rights of the citizen It is too great and too strang to desire to revenge it self for an unjust censure, which meets its punishment in the general disapprobation; and too much the friend of the people not to desire to be enlig'itened by criti cism, which is always salutary when it is reaso: able and well founded. In a preceding column we have given some extra, is from the East India papers, relating to the war against the Birmese. The accounts from Prime ate to the 6th, and from Rangoon to the 19th of June. Al;hough all the operations of our Army are successful, )et the Birmese still hold out, and there is reason to believe that the overtures of peace were but an artifice to gain time. In the meantime our Army had advanced far into the country, the season was wearing away, and the rains had set in, so that it is probable ow ti ()ors u ill re m•iin in their cantonments for some time, unless the Birmese should sue for peace, of which there was no appearance at the date of the latest intelligence from the seat of war. The Calcutta Papers represent our Army as in good health; but a letter from Madras, in a Morning Paper, states that it is quite the reverse : the country and the season arc, however, by no means fav( , urable to health. The value of money in I , dia ha', risen with the in creased demand for it occasioned by the war. All sorts of Stocks have fallen. Eight per cent. is now the market rate of interest there, and it will probably rise still higher if the war is much prolonge.l. The Company's remit able paper had fallen from Si to 25; the non-remitable paper and the live per Cent. Loan were at par. The Exchange on England had risen to 2i. '2d. per rupee. BRIGHTON, NovF.mseit 20. The Duchess of Gt.oucEsTLa io:es no favourable opportunity of taking wholesome exercise in public, either in her carriage, or as a pedestrian about the Steyne and Marine Walks, and the happy re wit is confirmed health a•id improved and improving spirits. This morning her Royal Highness, accompanied by Lady CIL% RIOTTF LeGcs, attended Divine Set vice at the. Chapel Royal, Prince's-place, the chief pews of which, above stairs, were filled by our resident Nobility. Her Royal Highness took a carriage airing subsequently. The number of Nobility who paid their respects to her Royal Highness, by leaving their names at the Palace, was very consider ble last week—it included the Earl and Countess of CHWIIISTZR, Hon.

DUBLIN, NOVEMBER 19. -a.-- Yesterday their Excellencies the Lord and Lady Lieutenant had a dinner party at the Vice-regal Lodge, in the Park, to which the following distinguisheel personages, among others, had the honour of being invited : Duchess of Richmond, Lady Sophia Lennox, Lord Sussex Lennox, Marquis and Marchioness of Ormonde, Lord and Lady Mayo, Lord and Lady Gort, Lady !Banners, Bishop of Kildare and Mrs. Lindsay, Chief Justice, Mr. and Mrs. Goulburn, Sir S. Bruce, Mr. Johnston, Mr. E. Johnston, Colonel Shawe, Hon. Capt. Keppel, Captain Lindsay, &c. &c. Their Graces the Duke and Duchess of Leinster were prevented the honour e.f being present, they having company at Carton. The Lord Chancellor was prevented being present by indisposition. Sir George Murray, Commander of the Forces, has left town, it is said, to be mart led to Lady Erskine, the widow of Sir James Erskine. A Morning Paper says—" We understand a treaty of marriage is on the lapis between Karl Howth and Lady De Burgh, youngest daughter of the late Earl, and sister of the present Marquis of Clauricarde, and of the Marchioness of Sligo." THEATRES. DRURY-LAM?. Last Right Romeo and Joliet was repeated at this Theatte. The arduous character of Juliet was again sustained by the young Lady, whose name is not yet announced, but whom we have before no ticed. The Public were well pleased throughout the Play, and at several intervals the young aspirrotte received the applause of the House, particularly in the garden scene, where she takes her last farewell of Romeo. COVENT-G IRDEN. The Mi(brand his Men was produced here last night for the first time this season. The revival of this musical piece chews gond taste in the Managers, for though the Comedy of Clarks the Second, and the Melodrama of Jacko preceded it, yet the audience to an in dividual remained until its conclusion. Miss klei.sts, in the part of Mary C.pp, is gaining upon the public opinion. LORD COMBERMERE.—We regret to state,that a report very generally prevails, that this gallant Officer was carried WI by an attack of cholera mosbus, in a few days alit-, his landing in India. We are sorry to add, that the intelligence comes to us from a source which gives us little room to doubt the truth of it. The communi catiun came overland from India.—Dublin Correspondent. ihe crew tithe Piranga, off Purtsrnouth, have again come on shore in a Lody, in consequence of not liking the allowance of provisions. Tuesday, Mr. BROUGHAM, was re-e!ected Lord Rector of the University of Glasgow. The Etta Lodi., Cutnpany's ship Sc aleby Castle ar rived in Saugur Roads on the Bth of June.

Captain K.'s fire took effect, and Captain B. was wounded in the head, but hut dangerously. The dispute originated about some regimental arrangements. The Marquis t t TAVISTOCK has %% liven the follow• ing kart to Cllr. %Nit ITBILEAD : _ " 11Y DEAR ‘V Holism two— I hope you have received some copies of my Address to the Freeholders. You will perceive that I have announced toy intention of not canvassing the county. Laying aside all considerations of health, the principle on which I act would of itself preclude me from doing so, as I could not consistently ask the vote of any man whose situation or circumstances require his being conveyed to the place of election ; and you will perceive at once how impossible it ss ould be In a canvass, to draw a line of distinction between one class of Freeholders and another. It is my intention, however (if my health and strength are sufficiently re stored), to n tut n thanks after the election, whatever be its result, to all those who do me the honour to vote for me, and I trust my friends will cousider this as a greater mark of respect to them than the usual way of soliciting their support before the election.— I faithfully your's.

The canoe is long and narrow, the bow, or nose, terminating at a very sharp point, firmly cased with copper. The barrels of the gun, weighing two hundred weight, are of great length and large calibre. The bolt was launched on Ayles• ford Pond on Wednesday se'nnight, before Lord ROD NEE, and numerous other Gentlemen, but there being no wild fowl, Colonel HAWKER had no opportunity of fully displaying the powers of his ingenious invention; he, however, at one discharge into a flock of starlings, killed 2.53, which were pscked up, and it is supposed as many more were lost in the reeds.

We may idy of it that it would not shame any monarch to be crowned in such a seat. The history of the tree is curious :—When M. CHILDREN, one of the Curators of the liriti•h Museum, visited the plain of Waterloo, about seven ye:ars ago, he found the tree in question marked /Or destruction by the proprietor of the soil, ho told him that so many people came to visit it, that the pr•dnce of halt an acre of land was annually lost in consequence.

Wednesday information was given Elleiry.o, eet Police-office, Dublin, that a man ua•,ied Tiv• en . . 4 , D . had seduced and carried off the wife of a (lente nul named North, residing at Phillipstow►t, and that th had conveyed away both money and valuable, Lesib i ing to the husband. That excellent and indefatigable peace-officer, c. 5, non, on hearing this statement, instantly repAtted tt one of the steam-b-ats, then on the point o f England, on board of which he found Mrs. Norhani Thomas Duff, whom he instantly took into cer , t , On searching them, he found on the person of I) 521. lls. and with the Lady, a bond for 100/. I, parties we►e kept in custody until Mr. North shout: come to town, which he did next morning. The to. lowing investigation into the circumstances of thi: cat took place at one o'clock:— On Duff and Mrs. North entering the room, the MA. gistrate, addressing the former, said, that he Wulf; was charged with having carried off the wife of Thomas North, of the King's County, and it was evident ipi n the precipitancy of their flight what their intentions were. Both he and Mrs. North were found on bo ar d the steam-packet, by Mr. Cannon, who arrested them without a warrant, at his own personal risk, and in hit (Duff's) possession was found a large sum of money, which, as it wis in English currency, it was tint at ' present easy to ascertain whose property it was. litre was also found on his person property belonging to Mrs. North, which was undoubtedly the propeity of her husband. Duff said that the Lady would account how these things came into his possession. The Magistrate said, the husband might give much credence to the statements of the wife as he thought proper. The husband might consider, what ru not at all improbable, that he had taken off Mrs. N rth for the purpose of embezzling the property..Ll:ere seemed to be no great inducement for the cartpaz off Mrs. North, she being in an advanced shoe of preg• nancy. The husband might consider that he had acted merely as a guardian or servant, and so to have takes care of the property for Mr. North. It was entirely at the discretion of the husband to consider the case is either way. Mr. North, father of the Lady's husband, said t!; t Duff had a wife and son, and that he was nearly !lity years of age. He had given his son, on his mintage, some ground at 10s. art acre. Mrs. North had Nita away between three and four hundred pounds wih her; she was in the habit of getting and keeping All herhu.• band's money ; she was the daughter of a respectabie Minister of the establishment. The husband said he would certainly prosecute Duff for felony. Hi, wife had used him very badly, and be Lever w 0;..: have anything to say to ber. The Magistrate said his wife ought to be supported by him he should be legally parted from her. Mr. North—l will never have any thingto say to her. Mrs. North said, that her husband had used her nic:t basely ; that, although her husband's father had alieard him very liberally on their mart iage, still he took ti er property afterwards; whenever anything was sold bf her husband, he would, perhaps, bring but a few 4,;i -lings home with him. She had taken DA Nith her her servant. _ . Old Mr. North said, that if she had anything to complain (f had her father and brothers to complain to, who lived near her. Mr. North still persevering in his intentions to proceed 4. 0, A Duff for the felony, his informations were taken, and adi committed. The Magistrates acting in the Wakefield Divi•ioni and indeed those acting generally throughout the 'Arst Riding of Yorkshire, have determined not to erect Parish relief to tie wives or families of any men ado are Members of 4, The Union," or who contribute any thing towards the Society. • • MURDER IN Gumturiev.—Wednesd ty morning, ab‘ , ..it seven o'clock, Mr. Chapman killed a man naintd Biosni in whose house he lodged. They had been wranigirig until twelve o'clock the night heft e, anti Clrapilla" la repeatedly threatened to shoot him. Brown's &tug!) er heard her father begging on his knees for life, and mri• cloned his children,when, it is said,Chapman levelled IA gun and shot him. Brown made for the door, 31.4 Chapin in followed him, beating him with the butt Lt the gun !
