FOREIGN INTELLIGINCA We have just received Paris Papers of Saturday. Their contents are most important. The revolution in the Netherlands is stated to be entirely at an end. Prince Frederick had entered Brussels; the Dutch flag was floating over Its walls, as well as those of Mons, and the mem bers of the Provisional Government had led to France for refuge. In France the Ministry was said to be broken up, and a list of a new Ministry is given, at the head of which stands M. Lafitte. The fol. lowing are extracts : (From the National.) Pause, SEPT. any faith is to be placed in the intelligence which has reached Paris to-day, and from undoubted sources, the Bel- gic insurrection is at an end; it has had the fate of the revolution of 1787, and with the same facility that the Prince Coburg reestablished the authority of Leopold 11. has Prince Frederick restored that of his father. The Dutch flag now floats over Brussels and Mons. M. Gen ..lebien and Van de Weyer, Members of the Provisional Government, had fled to Valenciennes. The entry of Prince Frederick into Brussels had been preceded by some hours of the most frightful anarchy. This cannot surprise us, after the news which we have had of the days pre g. ceding, which showed the Burgher Guard entirely despoiled of its la ence, and the people altogether masters, not knowing against whom to turn their resentment It was thought, when the first convulsion took place at Brussels, that it would be easy for the Belgians to imitate our last revolution : but there was this difference between the two cowl tries—we had to rid ourselves only of one family, the Belgians aimed at shaking off the yoke of a people. Charles X. once at C h erbourg, and our revolution was at an end ; but the King of the Netherlands was still at the Hague, and he had with him the mass of the thatch people, with their prejudices; and, unhappily, even the Bourgeoise amongst the Bel gians themselves. The issue could not be other than it was ; but let us hope that, in the midst of these sufferings, the Belgians will learn to form the only wish which can give them at once liberty and a country, a put and a future worthy of being adopted by them. RUMOURS OF THE COMPOSITION OF THE MINISTRY. Two days ago there was agitated in the Council of Ministers a law relating to clubs and popular societies—a law having for its object the recognition of these bodies, to the extent of 200 members, but which was not to come into operation fora year, and in the mean time the as sociations were to be proscribed. This law, which is attributed to the Duke of Broglie, was a brand of discord amongst the Council. At the meeting of the 21st, in the morning, this Minister was the only one to support his law. The Ministers again met in the evening, when, after a short discussion, the project was negatived. M. Lague is destined, lel is said, for the Presidency of the Counsel ; but we are assured that M. Guizot, who had opposed M. de Broglie, has refused the " Public In. situation," and wishes to follow him. The " Interior" balances (be tween MM. Ilan& and M. Odillon Barrot, upon the refusal of M. Casimir Perrier M. Sebastian would pus to the Foreign Affairs."l The Marine is balancing between M. Rigny and M. Duperre. General' Gerard preserves the War Department, but other reports give it to nets' Lamarque. Reports of a change in our Ministry have revived within the last two days. When one's situation is bad, every change must be for the bet ter. It la only to the dying man that change brings no hope; but France is not yet brought to that pass ; it is the country, of all others, which offers the greatest resources to secure good results. Our situation, if not actually a bad one, is yet one of doubt and hesitation, which dis. quiets men's minds. The canoes contrib u tin g to p r od u c e this are va rious, but the principal one may be said to be the state of abandonment In which the Chamber of Deputies remained, incomplete in its internal organization, and deprived of the support which It ought to expect.— Added to this was the want of unity amongst the Ministry—with out a chief, without any certain direction—composed of jarring elements, without a President, and, in a word, without a party. —Three shades might be seen in the composition of the Ministry forming in effect a tri-coloured flag. One was composed of men of a high capacity undoubtedly, but who, wanting character equal to their talent, exaggerated the dangers of a move. silent which was unfairly judged of by comparison, and who believed that France had arrived at 1792, whereas she was still in 1789. So then the future was more terrible than the past. By their side were others, more hardy, without being less prudent. They were frightened neither at the past nor the present, but sought only to turn the present to account. Farther on was a class of noble spirits, who despising, per. haps, too much all that has happened, abandon themselves, without re flection, to the consequences of the movement which urges them forward without fixing them. In the eyes of these last there is nothing alarm. tog in the views of popular societies, in the opinions of any writers. or in the posture of any foreign relations. They think little of the past, bully with the present, and outrun the future. The first think that it is only a change of Ministry which has taken place, the second a change of Constitution, the last a change of society itself. The equilibrium is to be sough t in the midst of these three forces. Above all things a President is necessary; it is on unity only that strength resides.— This year is a year of experiment for all our great interims, and it assuredly would not be wise in our Government to provoke an internal crisis in the midst of the exterior abuses which are preparing, which surround us, and which are already pressing upon us. A n or tional and constitutional Ministry will comprehend that liberty has need of peace as well as of civilization; for internal repose is the best gua rantee of peace abroad. Let us not have another crisis —and, to tire. vent it, let us take away all pretext from those who would provoke it in the name of liberty, or who would take advantage of it in the name of good order—Tempe. This day and yesterday $ great number of petitions were signed at the Exchange, by the leading merchants, who feel alarm at the existence of illegal clubs, to which they principally impute the deterioration of public credit and the sufferings of industry. Similar petitions are now lying for signatures at the principal notaries at Paris; and this evening the most influential citizens will be engaged in carrying them from street to street for the same purpose. Thus will public wisdom, with. out the concurrence of the authorities, put an end to a disorder which the Government has the intention of repressing by the power of the laws.—Journal des 114beis. A journal has announced, that the Prince Royal demanded liberty to assist in the meetings of the Friends of the People. This news is to. tally without foundation.—Josornal des Debars. Nothing is known at this hour (midnight) of the composition of the new Ministry ; the question is probably at this moment in discussion. It appears certain, at least, that a very important modification in the Cabinet will be announced in the 3forsilesor of to.morrow. We men. tioned yesterday in what sense this modification will take place. Many names have been already mentioned as coming in and going out. The principal persona mentioned as likely to compose the new Cabinet are Messrs. Laßue, Odillon Barret, General Lamarque, and M. Bignon. It is likewise believed that the change of Ministry will accelerate the dissolution of the Chamber.—Le National. Rumours of a change in the blinistry are this evening confirmed. The Ministers of the Privy Council wbo have deliberative voices, do not dissemble that their power, without responsibility, was an anomaly in a constitutional Government. Some of them, among the rest M. 1)u. pin, the elder have, we are assured, sent in their resignation. M. L. flue consents , after much hesitation, to accept the Portfolio of Finance; General Sebastiani will replace M. Mole, for Foreign Affairs; M. (MU. lon Barrot will succeed M. Guisot. Some say M. Bignon wiU be the Minister of Marine; others name Admiral Duper e. There is an uncertainty about the Ministry of Public Instruction, which ought perhaps to be one of simple direction. UM. Dupont l'Eure) for Justice, and Gerard for the War department, will r With respect to the Chamber, some speak of its dissolution; others, of some additional articles to the provisional electoral law, which will lower the rate of eligibility ; or, at least, extend to all who are eligible, what ever their age, the abrogation of the annual possession...l4 Constant- The critical state of the Ministry during the last two days has kept the public mind in continued alarm. It wu known that it threatened a division of men equally able, firm, and influential, possessing in short every quality required by the present situation of the country. It was conjectured to have arisen from the differences of opinion as to cer. tam popular societies, which have astonished Paris, alarmed the depart. runts, and threatened to degrade the country. We have, however, the satisfaction of being able to declare, that all is terminated. Wise and good citizens can never fail to come to an understanding on questions of so grave a nature. The Cabinet remains entire--Journal des Debate. Many of the French papers of his morning, in common with our notice the rumour of an early change in the Ministry, and some of them intimate that the ordinances effecting the change would appear in the Monierrur of this day. The official journal, however, has no such documents, and is silent upon the reports afloat on the subject. The following extracts from these papers will show the opinions enter tained upon the reported change : " For two days pasta law has been under discussion in the Coundl relative to clubs and popular societies • a law which was to authorise the existence of th ose assoc i at i ons to th e number of 200 members in each society, but which would only be in force a year hence, until which time such associations would be suspended. This law, which is said to have originated with the Duke de Broglie, occasioned much discussion among the Ministers. In the Council held in the forenoon of the 23d inst. the Duke was the only minister who supported it. In the evening another Council was held, when, after a short disc duo, the incom patibility of the Counci/, as at present formed, was deciered."— Temps.

We think that the 31emitemr will an nounce nothing new, and that the public have entertained with too much eagerness a hope which held out something. The Ministers whom this combination was to remove have determined upon withdrawing, but would wish, in continuing in office, to retain the other part ; it is, how ever, doubtful whether the latter would consent to this arrangement— Journal du Commerce. " What is called the moderate part of the present administration is retiring before the popular societies which triumphed en the Place de Grave, after having received military honours on their way. Thus is broken the frail alliance formed by M. %hot with the centre* of the Chamber, constituted into a majority; for it is already acknowledged that this change of ministry must lead to the dissolution of the Chem her. As to the consequences of such $ dissolution, they are involved in the future, which becomes daily more gloomy. A man, however, must be ignorant of history, who can be in the least surprised at this movement, which carries men and affairs towards the revolution. Li berals, who were thought violent three months ago, are now considered weak men, without any opinion. The patriots of to-day will soon be signalised as moderates."-Quotidienne.

The Journal Le Beige s which has been received to-day, contains the following article :-- BILIIIIIIIELS, SIPS. fit —Yesterday the whole morning passed over with the greatest tranquillity; suddenly, about half past one o'clock, the drums beat to arms, the tocsin was sounded, a numerous popula tion hastened to arms, and went out of the gates of Luken, Louvain, and Namur. It was announced that troops were marching against Brussels. The companies of Liege rushed forward the first to meet them • meantinas numerous barricades were erected every where within the city; MM. women, and children—every body worked at them with admirable ardour, and many hundred persons marched after the organized companies to take the places of those who might re ceive a mortal wound. They soon met with the troops upon an eminence towards Ever, drawn up in order of battle; two corps of infantry, one drawn up in a square, the other In columns, were sepa rated, and flanked by three corps of cavalry, composed of lancers and dragoons; several pieces of cannon were placed in batteries; a brisk action commenced along the whole line: the citizens placed as tiralleurs courageously =whirl forwards insensibly they sr uliN considerable ground upon the troops, and advanced almost to when the approach of night obliged them to return towards the city. We have not time to-day to give an account of all the acts of courage and patriotism which have come to our knowledge ? We shall return to the subject. The city during the whole evening presented a most animated scene. The barricades became more numerous. The streets were unpaved: the women carried the stones into the garrets. At midnight a fresh alarm summoned every body to anus; the tocsin was sounded in a great many parishes ; a brisk fire of musketry was heard in the direction of the Flanders, Schaerbeck, and Namur gates. The cannonade was frequently mixed with it. We have not been able to collect all the particulars of this affair with sufficient correctness to give an account of it to-day. The guard at the Luken gate seized yes. terday afternoon several despatches upon a person who was in the mail. coach. It seems that they were of the greatest importance, to judge by one of them which was opened. PARIS, SATURDAY EVENING, Snay. 25. I have already apprised you of the active organisation of several clubs In this metropolis, particularly of the Artie de Is Pewits and ter Ands du Angle. There is now another sect called Simonises, followers of the dogmas of St. Simon, composed of philanthropists, who, like your Mr. Owen, are going to extinguish all the passions which agitate so ciety, audio regenerate mankind. There are very good men in each of these clubs ; but they contain also a host of demagogues of all principles and nations, and whose elements are like the combustibles of Maebeth's cauldron, ready to boil over in a lava of political eruption. The two first of these societies hold meetings to d is cuss politics, through the press in the form of small journals, not much known out of Paris, where they are pasted on the walls for the Information of all those who wish to discuss the abstract doctrines of the rights of the people. They instil their principles, and diffuse their spirit; and hand-bills are likewise very widely circulated, appealing for national support. The weakness of the Government is the food upon which these clubs prey, and they are get ting every day stronger, from the indecisive character of the opposition which the authorities make to their progress. The commercial body, who seek repose and wish to see the vernment allowed to organize it. self without the control of these feverish spirits, are preparing petitions to the Chambers against the clubbists, and the Chamber of Accusation of the Royal,Court of Paris has just taken cognizance of some of the Friends of the People. This Court has published an arret, declaring suck associations to be unlawful,and a direct contravention of the 291st, 292 d, and 293 d, and 284th is:ticks of the penal code, forbidding the formation of clubs of more than 30 persons, except under particular cir cumstances. The arra then goes on to implicate Mons. J. L. Hubert, formerly an attorney in Paris, and E. R. Thierry, advocate, of organizing such societies, the one acting in quality of president, the other as tree- surer ; P. H. Caffin, of having lent his riding-house for their meetings; ' and J. D. David, printer, for having unlawfully printed and posted their placards, which contained attacks upon the authority of the Cham ber of Deputies. For these offences the Chamber of Accusation have remitted the parties to the King's Attorney-General for peosecution.-- Notwithstanding this denunciation, these clubs are determined to con. tinue their sittings and publications, and it will remain to be seen whe ther the government, having taken cognizance of the obvious illegality of such associations when acting as a permanent political body, will assert or surrender the supremacy of their official functions. The Society of the Friends of Truth appears to be the most active of these bodies, and are now discussing whether their meetings are not to be .nighdy, instead of (as hitherto) twice a week. The workmen, too, who are oc casionally parading the Faubourg, in small parties, are to have a news paper in existence next Monday, called Les °wrier*. They say they are starving, and yet they have money to find an organ of the press for their own special purposes. The prejudicial effect of these clubs con. elms in their obvious tendency to collect within the focus of their ope rations the discontented and profligate of all nations, men ripe for any change; and they will eventually extinguish the Government if the Government is unable to extinguish them. The Chamber of Deputies met this day at one o'clock. The attendance was considerable, and a number of strangers filled the tribunes. A tied list was distributed among the members, of the refractory col as had not, within the time prescribed, taken their seats and the oa to the new Government. The names are Viscount D'Alzon, Che yeller Dubourg, MM. Dumans, Duplesis, Count Froltier (le Bayveux, Baron Dudon, de Gelb, de Laytours, Count de 3lestray, Count de Mi randol, Marquis de Itoctiegude, de Roquette, Vesian de Bt. Andre. and de Yobbo. After the President (Lafitte) had taken his seat, a good deal of conversation arose among the members, in allusion to the ru mours of ministerial clianges,wldek were so prevalent during the morning, The ministerial seat remained empty abouthalf an hour, when Marshal Gerard, the Minister at War, entered, with his porfolio under his arms and took his seat. He was soon after joined by his colleagues— the Duke of Broglie, General Sebasdani, and Messrs. Guisot and Du pont. The appearance of so many Ministers, in the evident exercise of their functions, put an end of course, for the moment, to any further rumours of these ministerial changes. M. Benjamin Constant and se veral other members entered into earnest conversation with the Minis. ten. General Lafayette also entered the Chamber, and conversed for some time with the President. He did not join the coterie under the Ministers. The bugloss of the day opened with the reading, by Messrs. Medial. Jumblon, and others, of the reports open several pe titions of public interest. General Lafayette presented and supported a petition from the inhabitants of Paris, for the abolition of the pe mlty of death. This petition was referred to the commission which has charge of a similar proposition made a short time ago by Dl. Victor de Tracy. The President rose, and read a letter which be had just re ceived from the Count de ilirandol, deputy of the Dordogne, transmit. ting the formula of his oath of allegiance. The Count, in his letter, described the circumstance of his residence at a distance of 100 leagues from Paris as the cause of his tardiness in performing this duty, and claimed the benefit of the delay allowed by the law in such a case. A short but stormy discussion arose upon the quesdorlthat Count M kande! should be now allowed to swear, and his name thereby removed from the refrac• tory list. The speakers were Messrs. Didon, Daurant, Bernard, de Mare tignac, de Tracy, and others. They were all mostly speaking together, and the President added to the noise by the incessant sound of his bell. The great majority being in favour of the admission of Count Mirandol's oath, it was carried accordingly. Another discussion, in the midst of equal disorder, was raised upon a proposition to allow further delay to Baron Dudon for his taking the oath ; but it was ultimately re' , and the Chamber decided that the above list (with the ex of ce ated, Mirandol's name) should be transmitted to the Minister of the r nutter, for the purpose of the convocation of the electoral colleges, to= to the election of other members in the room of these who are :lac:. Another postponement took place for the report en the elec.- 7e Duke de Crussol. at Uses, in the department of 1e Gard. A petition was presented from a number of citizens of Paris, claiming the enactment of a law, allowing them a respite of two months for the pay ment of all bills of exchange falling due before January. 1831, but nos thing was done in furtherance of the prayer of this petition After some further business the Chamber adjourned until Monday nest, when the important debate will take place upon the report of the OCIOURISSiOD upon the cam of the ex-Ministers. The Chamber of Peers did not sit this day.—Leber In Me Timm General Athalin had his audience of the Emperor of Rands cm the 7th of this month, and was shoat to set vat with Ws Majesty to visit the military monies.

Sra—l am not exactly aware of the several plans that are %Ail 14 have been submitted for the entrance into St. Janlta's Park. Of thu.o which I have seen , _ however, that which provides for a carriage eint.e.e., appnn to me to be the best suited to the purpoie ; as well as being, at the same time, by far the most acceptable to the inhalikants of Rtgent. street, etc. This carriage-way inclines, or dips, from Pall-mall at titc rate of about one foot in twenty, to within a few yards of the drive in St. James's Park, being pretty nearly the general inclination of 1t... gent-street. About twelve feet beyond the elub-houses, a cerriagoi road to the houses in Caritouvgardens branches off, right and left. of 3:. N shape, 6fty..three feet broad at the entrance ; but widening as i• sii preaches the houses. At the south sides ot these branch reat.'.•, principal entrance to the Park is contracted to a breadth equal to the narrowest /art of Regent-street, by which means a stripe ot evergr.sms is proposed to be formed, sloping on each side from the area wails ot the Carlton-garden houses,to the top of a dwarf wall on the inside of the foot pavements. This stripe of evergreens is of an oval shape at the upper end, where it is, of course, much broader than below, tower.!. the Park, and would have a very delightful effect from Regent-street. At the end, next the park, the road is bounded by two handsome lodges, in the Grecian style of architecture, (but without triglyphs ini their fries, so as to harmonise with the present wall,) for the &coin modation of those entrusted with the care of the entrasee. A splenill I (saga light ' ) railing joins these lodges, and terminates the entrance, :it the park. This railing is divided into a carriage entrance, in the centre; and, at each side of it, an intervening space, and a gate.rety, , for foot passengers. If any better idea ran be suggested, no time be lost, as a broad flight of at. f act , t o nook lap !—t, quite preposterous. The proposition of the inhabitants of Wpm_ street,—to erect a statue here to his Majesty William IV. ( Ledure he had Leen three days ors the throne ! ) was too fulsome and gross to listened to for a moment. Such sycophancy would be sufficient to pia the beat Sovereign in Europe if he could be spoiled, which our's cannot. I am, Sir, your most obedient, D. THINGUM V. SPIRIT OF THE JOURNALS. CODIBETT'II RZOISTILIL—In the EDlWlttriteill REVIEW, put.. Bated in July last, there is a regular Manifesto against the Prince ui Waterloo, whom we call the Duke of Wellington, and whom wt w.il DOW so call, because these unmannerly Scotchmen have so call e d hi m in the extract that I am about to make from this book, the object of whit?. manifestly is to put him out of his place, and his creatures out of their emoluments, and to put some one into his place, who will give those emoluments to them, instead of their being given to the present swarm. This Review, as it is called, was originally established for place-hunt ing purpose. It was • battery erected by one HORNER, by BROUGUAY, by JEvoithY, and a whole band, to p!sy upon the men in high office, in such a way as to make a breach, through which they might get into the paradise of Parliament and place, enclosed by the rampart of power. Houma (now dead) and BROM:UMW soon got into Parliament. There he has been snug ever since, and always for what is called a rotten borough. He has now got a brother in for the same sort of place; and though he is in for what Is called the county of York, he is, in fact, no more the representative of the people uf that fine county than he is of the people of China. He was, by consent, el.- press consent, of the aristocracy, voted into the seat by about 2,000 men, and the county contains 300,000 men above twenty-on e years of age JEFFREY' has a plats, being what is called Dean of Facially. Misty others have pickings; but th ey want more. ' 4 Gremr' is their great e and they are now making a grand push for gratification. This crew, from their outset, fixed their eyes upon the Want Boroughasongers, as being most likely to favour their views. They have, therefore, always been "Winos." They started in 1805, just when Pitt had returned to power, bowed down by the shameful transactions of Melville end himself, which had been brought to light by the vengeful feelings of the Addington. The Pitt faction was tar nished and weak; the receipts of the Lxchequer were then quite enor mous, and this Scotch crew stood, like raw-boned dogs, moving their jaws, and their mouths watering at the sight. Now and then one o f them came up to take a survey of the thing : his report of what be lirtl seen sharpened the appetites of the pack of gaunt expectants, and the HOWL from the Nwth was as loud and terrific to us of the South, as that 'of the wolves, when, in time of snow, they come pouring down from the Alps or the Pyrennees upon the devoted fleecy inhabitants of the fields and the folds in the valleys ! Good GOD ! I never shall forget It ! I, as the pages of the Register will show, raised my feeble voice against the threatened ferocious invasion ; but, alas 1 what was my single voice ! The great body of the people seemed as if spell. bound, staring at each other, and, instead of preparing for resistance, waiting patiently, each hoping, apparently, that he sho u ld b e d evoured last !To the surprise of every-body Pitt rallied: the dread of being devoured by this Northern crew made even cold friends zealous in his support; but, poor fellow, amidst the worryings of 1803 and 1804, he had, the said, taken to the fatal practice of Mrs . lioniface. At any rate, in January 1806, he DIED ! Dreadful day for us in the South ! The death was sudden, and sudden were the consequences! By every coach came a load of placohunters from the North. But, coa c h es ! What were coaches ! Berwiek smack after Berwick smack came hastening round into the Thames. Luckily, steam. navigation had not then been discovered ' • for, even wi th out that, the swarms about Whitehall and Downing.street ; the crowds of gaunt and impudent fellows, strutting about a ale red hair, freckled skins, and hi g h cheek bones were truly frightful ; at:d though the coalesced Whigs and Grenvilles and Adding:was (amongst which latter was the elder Ilobliouse) were ousted at the end of fourteen months, the Scotch place-hunters had nestled themselves in, in such great numbers, and had taken such fast hold, that they have held the greater part oldie immense emolum e nt s ever since. The Irish are ROO sharing with theta ; and the article, on which I am about to ointment. is intended principally to get the whole into their hands by partly cou.r. ing and partly terrifying PEEL to abandon the Duke, and to join the Winos ! Now, mark, my friends : the object of the WOLVES (Scotch place-hunten) is to get ALL the emoluments into their hands ; the Whig borough:swayers are their tools; and they think, that if they eau bring over PEEL, who, bad as he is, is the Duke's best Witty, they shall oust the Duke, and he able to fall upon us, their defencelcsa prey ! I know you will say: " Why ! do the wolves think that the people have nothing to say in this matter! Do they really think that things are going to remain in this state" ! They do: their eagerness to get at our property blinds them to every thing but that: like 'their nametape, which, when they come howling down nom the snow-covered nintuaa.ns. forget all about the stalokftit dogs and armed sheph:rde ! They w ill now find England not 'gat it tear in WOG: but I shall have to ape* of that by and by. In the meanwnile, please to keep in view the object of the 11 olves, as I have described Italian. This" Review" is, indeed, no such thing: it is a periodical set ui essays, the object of which is to get labile money into the pock( is of the writers. The article in question it called a review of a pamphlet called " The eoutalty urithent a government;" thLt is to say, a thing seethes bythe same faction and tor the same purpose. Only one little extract is made from this pamphlet, and that inertly as an souse. I now come to their regular Martivesro against the Duke. Tiny charge him with being unpin? his oafs; they say that he has only Pea to prop him ; that it Pear quit him, he must go out or let them in for a snore ; they wheedle Peel to leave him and to joie than; thee menace him if he adhere to the Duke ; they make a grand display o the party that they shall have; and they confidenely anticipate the Duke's overthrow. But, boiling with rage at seeing the fold shut against their merciless jaws, the Whigs will seek revenge ; and they will, it' they find the Duke opposed to REFORM, be clamorous for it, being convinced that it will not be tarried. As far as this goes, they will have the people at their butt ; the distresses oftlie country are great ; they will and must be greater and greater ; the stack-jolibing ministry in France will not be able to make the National Guard pay the taxes to defray the expenses' of the debt ; the funding, and cheating, and monopolising, and extorting systems are going to pieces everywhere ; this thing cannot stand if that of France go to pieces; the accursed oligarchy cannot out. live this fraudulent system, upon which death has its cold hand; and thus difficulties of all sorts arc assailing the THING. At Mons, says the same letter, all the population had been overcome by the force donna.
