THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 30. Our Readers will perceive by our private letter from Brigh ton, received this morning, that his Grace the Duke of WELLINGTON arrived at the Pavilion yesterday afternoon, OR a visit to his MAJESTY. The progress of revolution is so rapid and so successful, that unless it be checked by the wisdom of the still existing Governments, no one can predict into what portion of Europe • it may not penetrate. The only way to stop the dreadful progress of violence is to remove that in which it originated, and can alone make it spread—popular grievance, and mis government, wherever it may exist. It is truly astonishing to observe with what apparent obstinacy this principle is ex cluded from the minds of the continental rulers of the pre sent day, as if the spell of the old Latin maxim were actu ally working their destruction through their previous stulti fication. The KING of the Netherlands we believe to be a well-intentioned, fair man : but we have viewed him for some years a little closely, and we have long relinquished all idea of his being a very wise or enlightened one. It must be confessed he has had a part to act, which required a very unusual share of discernment and discretion ; and although we conceive he might have prevented the violence which has occured, yet we likewise conceive its origin was not in his own acts ; but in the mistaken policy of the Allied European Govern ments, by whom a naturally heterogeneous and atomically repulsive people were awarded to him to govern. The " clay and brass" of which the edifice of his state was to be formed, it was always known had never existed in any real union. Mechanical junction had occasionally taken place, and as long as force ab extra could be applied, might in a manner exist ; but the least accident, it was evident, would &Low that no real adhesion of parts had taken place. The ides of the conclave of European Legislators, that to set up what might be called a respectable kingdom iu geographical measurement, they had only to do it by the map,was a wrong one. Animals of adverse nature cannot be rendered sociable merely by being included in one pen ; and so it has proved with the Dutch and their involuntary associates. We do not conceive we possess adequate knowledge of ' facts, and therefore do not arrogate to ourselves a right to form a positive judgment, on what occurred is nego tiation, between the Belgians and the KING of the Ne therlands ; but we can see no impracticability that there would have been, in yielding to the apparent wishes of the Belgians so far as to give them a separate Govern tneut of their own, with the paramount authority united under one SOVEREIGN. We cannot but think the present violence might have been avoided. We sincerely regret it; but, as far as we can see, we attribute it to the impolicy of the Kt NG. If we are sure of any one maxim, we are of this— that where discontent exists among the great mass of the people, to such a degree as to lead them to take arms, real au. e%tnneire grievance must be the cause. To prevent violent redress, let there be voluntary redress. Violence, even were it checked by violence, is only checked for a moment to recur with redoubled vengeance. These are, almost, what are, in modern verbiage, termed truisms, which we would suppose do not require the aut!iority of an Apollo to inforce. When we see what is acting around us, how happy must the inhabitants of Britain feel, that from their self-correcting institutions, those gradual reforms are continually taking place, that ensure them from the hazards of revolution. We present at this day the spectacle to Europe, of, perhaps, as we have been termed, " the most hard-worked and worst paid people in Europe ;" but at the same time the most loyal and contented. The accounts from Antwerp, received to-day, are of Tees- day last. Every thing remained tranquil there ; but some manifestations of public feeling were expected almost hourly to show themselves, and all the inhabitants were busily em-1 ployed in securing their valuables, as Antwerp was not expected long to remain quiet. Information had come in from many of the towns, which hitherto had remained neuter, that they were making preparations to render assistance to the in habitants of Brussels. The following is an extract of a letter, dated Antwerp, Sept. 28th : " Prince FREDERICK, and the troops under him, are still encamped about a league from Brussels. The whole body is in a state of great fatigue, and appear not to like the idea of again attacking the city, without a considerable reinforce ment. An eye-witness to the condition of these troops states, that they looked most deplorable, but few of them having escaped some wounds in the face, and other places, from the missiles that were hurled at them. The fragments of glass bottles did them great damage. Upon a muster of the King's troops, the loss had been ascertained to be considerable ; it is said to the extent of 1,000 or 1,500. The conflict with the in habitants was most sanguinary, and the number of wounded is so great, that half of them have not yet been attended to. Yesterday night Prince FREDERICK sent off despatches to the Hague, calling for an additional force before he would proceed. The whole country is now in a state of revolt; and without foreign! troops are sent against the inhabitants, they will not be overcome. The breach between the Bel gians and HoUanders is now so wide, that it cannot soon be settled." We have been favoured with the perusal of private letters from Antwerp to the 29th inst. which are of considerable interest. Some alarm had been created by the events around this place ; but the garrison there had not shewn any symptoms of siding with the insurgent forces at Brus sels, and the strength of the fortifications were relied on, to guard from any external assault : some families had, how ever, removed to Rotterdam. It appears that, since the defeat of Prince FREDERICK, the Bruxellois bad made no movement in advance against him, and his head-quarters remained near Vilvorde, at about two leagues from Brussels. The communication between Brussels and Antwerp remained uninterrupted, which may be considered as a remarkable circumstance, the post arriving with all regularity. Various reports were current. respecting the future intentions of the Prince. Some reported that a negociation had been opened ; but others, and the more numerous party, believed that the Prince was waiting orders from the Hague, and the ar rival of the heavy artillery, which bad not come up, to recommence his assault upon the city he had devoted to destruction. At Ghent all was quiet, but at Bruges and Liege the popular cause was decidedly triumphant. Of course business was much interrupted at Antwerp by the oc currences in the Provinces. Large bands of armed men were reported to be moving in the country, and the effervescence was most alarming. - Le Temps, just received, informs us that a joint note has been transmitted to the French Government, by the courts of Vienna, London, and Berlin, on the subject of the events in Belgium, in which these three powers propose to station Prussian garrisons in the frontier towns of the Netherlands; and, at the same time, endeavour to present this measure, as infringing in no degree upon the principle of non-inter vention. The measure proposed by this note, appears to be grounded upon the recollection, that the fortresses of the Netherlands, having been erected by the Holy Alliance, with the money proceeding from the indemnities of 1814 and 1815, with a view to preserve France itself, as a new king dom,from danger such as that which now exists, are confided to the keeping of Europe, who may establish garrisons in them at her choice, with the consent of the different Courts. It is added, that France, who now founds her regeneration upon the principle of non-intervention, can but behold, with satisfaction, a measure which would have the effect of raising between her and a neighbouring country, at present cruelly agitated, a barrier which would _undoubtedly prevent the agitation communicating itself by a contact almost inevitable. The note concludes by demanding the consent of France. We do not pledge ourselves for the terms of this note, but we can warrant its existence, and its object. It is not said what answer , has been given by our Government. Symptoms of agitation have begun to manifest them selves in Hanover. At Linebourg, a sentinel read a threat ening letter. At Allitsn, a tax-collector was compelled to fly. Effervescence is making its appearance at Cille and Hildesheim, where measures are taking for organizing Burgher Guards. The regiment of Hanover Guards is about to march towards the frontiers of Brunswick. According to a letter fivi — nrankfort, the disturbances which have taken place at Berlin, are of a much more serious nature, than they were represented by the Berlin States Gazette. It was not merely an assemblage of journeymen tailors, but a meeting of more than twenty thousand persons, who loudly called for the Constitution of 1814. The armed force received orders to fire upon the crowd. The troops of the line refused, it is said, to act against their fellow citi - zens ; but the Royal Guards executed the order. Sixty in dividuals were killed and wounded. The crowd, in dispers ing, loudly demanded the Constitution. The letter adds, that new riots had broken out at Hesse Cassel, and that the Elector had been fired at in his carriage. He is said to have been wounded. On Saturday I wrote you the various rumours that were afloat, rep pecting a change in the Ministry ; but at the same times ted to you that no change had . taken place, although all the journals were positive in amain that the alionitsur would contain a list of the new Ministry. I informed you that the Moniteur was silent on the subject, and now merely send you the opinions of the various journals, upon the reported change : For two days past a law has been under discussion in the Council, relative to clubs and popular societies : a law which was to authorise the existence of these associations, to the number of two hundred 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 some dissention among the Ministers. In the Council, held on the 23d inst. in the forenoon, the Duke was the only Minister who supported it. In the evening, another council was held, when, after a short discussion, the incompatability of the Council, as at present formed, was declared. Le Temps. The report of an important change in the Ministry obtains credit. As this modification has become altogether neces sary; and as, by a continuance of the present Ministry, and the policy it has pursued for nearly two months, the dig. nity of France might one day or other be compromised abroad, and harmony at home be destroyed, we willingly give ear to the measure, which will in time repair the faults hitherto committed, and in the end ensure us an able and durable Government. The change in question will be made upon the principles of M. Dupont de l'Eure. M. Lafitte, who is talked of as Minister of the Finances, would be the pivot upon which the negotiations should turn, and would become the influential member of the regenerated cabinet. We should then have an effective Government, a Ministry truly patriotic and national—a natural consequence enough of such a revolution as we have bad.—Le Globe. A change of Ministers was much spoken of yesterday. It was said that the functions of the four Ministers, not Secre taries of State, were suppressed. The.annonneement of the new Cabinet is expected to appear in the Moniteur. We think that the Moniteur will announce nothing new, and that the public have entertained with too much eagerness a hope which held out something flattering. The Ministers whom this combination was to remove, have not determined upon withdrawing ; but would wish, in continuing in office, to retain the other part ; it is, however, doubtful whether the latter would consent to this arrangement.—Journal de Commeree. What is called the moderate part of the present adminis tration, is retiring before the popular societies, which tri umphed in the Place de Greve, after having received mili tary honours on their way. Thus is broken the frail al liance formed by M. Guizot with the Centres of the Cham ber, constituted into a majority; for it is already acknow ledged, that this change of Ministry must lead to the dis solution of the Chamber. As to the consequences of such a 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. Patriots of to-day will be signalised as moderates."—Quotidienns. The present Chamber of Deputies in France.—After the glorious days of July, a provisionary power was established in the midst of a population highly civilized and friendly to order. The enlightened population of Paris understood the immense advantages which ought to result from their tri umph, over the atrocious agents of tyranny. Not content with having abolished the restoration, by force of arms, they expected also to abolish all the institutions, which for so long a period, had, as it were, served as its pedestal. The several Deputies of the Chamber who were in Paris, and who had shewn themselves worthy of the confidence of the people, by their courage and wisdom, were called by public opinion to the management of affairs. But the people wished for it only as a temporary measure as, at that moment, every thing was temporary the National Volunteers, the Parisian commission, the Lieut.-General himself. At such a tremendous crisis, a body of honourable citizens, is without doubt a respectable power ; but its power ought only to be transitory: to call Louis-Philippe to the throne, to point out the various changes to be introduced into the constitu tional charter, and its principal laws, to fix the provisonary collecting of taxes, to give a new life to Government, to create an electoral law in harmony with the wants of the nation, and then to separate—such were the important measures expected from the assembling of the present Cham ber of Deputies. What ! is the revolution, with its great battle of Paris, and its ten thousand killed and wounded, to evaporate between the fall of the throne of Charles, and the erection of that of Philip ? It should have swept away a dynasty, begot a constitution, roused the two hundred mil lions, spread over the face of Europe, hoisted the national colours upon the column of Napoleon, before it could stand up as director of the political management of the State, and think itself the lawful representative authority of the interests of the country. But let us admit, that, in such junctures, the Chamber was compelled to preserve its power, and form a constitu tion, where could it look for a precedent which would autho rise its perpetuity ? In England the House of Commons is lawfully dissolved, in the course of three months after the de mise of the Sovereign. With us, where the whole dynasty has been dissolved, could not our Chamber find a suf ficient cause for dissolution ? Which of them, however, would now, on his beholding the national colours planted upon the wreck of a throne, think seriously and honestly, that the vote of his constituents would be precisely the same to day, as when the white flag floated on the gate of his Elec toral College ? Bat perhaps the Chamber has performed very great achievements since the accession of the King. Let us take a retrospect of its proceedings. Louis Philip required that the men of the revolution of July, should he proclaimed the deliverers of their country. No legis lative act has yet paid the homage which was due to them. The King required that the periodical press, should receive, on account of its heroical exertions, before and during the conflict, a shining testimony of public gratitude; no legislative act has yet honoured the periodical press. We required that public employment should not be invaded by the men of the former reign, and yet Ministers have been lately seen, requiring no other titles to prefer ment, than those acquired under that reign;—and Deputies have been found so obstinately foolish, as to support them to the utmost of their personal influence. We required that the reign of economy should be loudly proclaimed ; but no express declaration has been made in that respect. %e are therefore fixedly determined, to think with the enlightened . part of the nation, that a new Chamber of Deputies 1131 1 alone be able to erect another social edifice, with the burning materials of our revolution. Notwithstanding certain demi-official assurances, it 16 positive that the Duke de Montebello has received at the Court of Madrid. a very mortifying reception. On his at ' tending on the King, he waited more than half hour in the anti-chamber, and the Ministers conducted themselves to wards him with the same air as their master. In fact while he sojourned at Madrid, several diplomatic feasts took place at the Duchess de Benevento's, senioress of the Spanish Nobility ; to none of which he received an invitation. So then, it is to a Government who insults France in its Mani festo, and who offends it in the person of its Ambassador whom we deign to send, that our Ministry show such humble 05% - A k& • xt, S N7' f_ l o ls. rW44P 1 (f. rqft,„l„it A,l ° S elk CITY, MILNE O'CLOCK. We have no arrivals of ship lettere this morning, conse quently we are void of intelligence. Now the affairs of Belgium have taken so unfavourable a turn, our city politi cians speculate on the march of the Prussians to Brussels ; but as yet it is all surmise; as, no doubt, if the Belgians will come to moderate terms, the King of Holland will accept them. It is not hii interest to have their fine towns destroyed by fire and sword. Consols, which left off yesterday at 871 I for the Account, opened at IN, and soon after were done at 87 ; at present may be quoted 87, with little doing; but the market still continues heavy. In the Foreign Market nothing doing; prices much the same as yesterday. arr, HALP-PAST ONE. We have seen letters from Brussels, dated the 28th, in the afternoon, stating that great damage had been done in several parts of the town, many houses destroyed, particularly that of M. Barrow Loueado, a member of the Stock Exchange in London ' • it was situated near the Palace. The above letter adds that the slaughter was very great, and that the affairs of the 27th, 28th, and 29th, at Paris, is not to be compared to the eventful days at Brussels. The brave.y displayed by the inhabitants of Brus sels was astonishing, old men of 70, and boys of 12 and 14 years, were amongst the rebels. Women were also seen fighting. The Dutch have retreated two leagues. The letters from Antwerp are also of the 28th. They state that the Dutch troops retreated on Monday, from Brussels to Vilvorde • several twenty-four pounders, and a battering train, had arrived there from Holland, and were to proceed to the Prince's head.quartersi; the Brussels people had not made any demonstration to advance to attack the Dutch. The communication was open with Antwerp, as the Diligence had arrived from Brussels. A great number of the lower class of people, armed, were marching from all quarters, to the assistance of Brussels. Sseveral letters from Antwerp speak of negocia tions, and that Prince Frederick is waiting instructions from the Hague on that subject. [ Consols have improved to 871 for the Account; little [ doing in the Foreign Market. Report says tho Dutch have lost 7,000 men. _ - - -- - -- _ _ FRONTIESS 01 SPAIN, Sept. 20.—The Spanish detach ment stationed on the bridge of the Bidassoa, consisting of a serjeant and six soldiers, went over to France last night, and arrived in the morning at Bayonne, where the Sub-Pre fect wanted to send them into the interior, to incorporate them in the Regiment of Hohenlohe ; but in a moment they were furnished with plain clothing, and now the Sub-Prefect may whistle for them. The whole of the 7th Regiment of Infan try, which forms the garrison of St. Sebastian, had their cue to pass likewise over to France ; but as the drawbridge has ' not been let down, they were forced to remain. The intelligence from our private Correspondent in Paris, which we this day present to our readers, will be read with deep interest. The letter of the Count FLORIAN DS KER.- OOLAY, to the President of the Chamber of Peers, of which we give a full translation, is a production, our correspon dent informs us, which has occasioned a considerable sensa tion in Paris; and its courage at least will recommend it to an attentive perusal every where. The extracts furnished to us, from the Paris Journals, will be found a Melange of • onficting opinions, very illustrative of the state of parties in that capital. FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. SZCZIVED THIS DAY. PARIS, SErr. 27. On Sunday at noon, the King, accompanied by the Duke of Orleans and the Duke of Nemours, and attended by a detachment of the National Guards and a numerous staff, including several of the Marshals of France, left the Palais Royal on horseback for the Champ de Mars, to review the troops in garrison at Paris. Upon reaching the field, his Majesty was received by the Commander of the First Mili tary Division, at the head of his staff. The Queen and Royal Family came to the ground in an open carriage, escorted by a party of the National Guards, and took their seats at the balcony of the Military College. The King passed through the ranks of tho different regiments, and all the officers and men who bad been recently promoted, were named to him, The troops were about 6,000 in number, consisting of the sth; 13th, 15th, 53d, and 59th regiments of infantry ; the sth cuirassiers, the Ist chasseurs, the Ist hussars, six pieces or foot and eight pieces of horse artillery, all of which appeared in excellent order. His Majesty having taken his station in front of the Military College, the troops filed off before him. In the field, as well as going there and returning, his Majesty was greeted with reiterated shouts of " Vivo le Roi !" The King and the Royal Family re turned to the Palais Royal at half-past three o'clock. The weather, which has been very unfavourable for the last fort night, was yesterday extremely fine ; and in consequence a great number of spectators were attracted to the Champ de Mars, to witness this military spectacle. Order of the day, published on account of the Review on Sunday. Pius, SEPT. 26.—" The Ring beheld with pleasure the appearance of the different regiments, forming the garrison at Paris, who were present at the Review this day. His Ma jesty was also able to remark the excellent spirit which ani mates these corps, and he has charged me to express to them his entire satisfaction. lam happy in having to communi cate the King's intentions, persuaded that each regiment will continue to distinguish itself, by seal for the service, pa triotism, and good discipline. 44 The Misdates of War, Marshal Count Ovum)." After the example of the Duke of Orleans, the King's second son, the Duke de Nemows, has entered the National Horse Guards, and the third has been enrolled in the second legion. The following anecdote is related on the subject :- A notice to mount guard having been served on the King, his Majesty sent for the Captain of the company, and said to him, " Captain, I fear my numerous occupations will prevent my doing duty at the guard-house, but the law per mits a father to appoint as a substitute his son ; I offer you mine." The young Prince de Joinville, fixed upon by the King, has, since that moment, formed a part of the second legion. There is no nonsense In the newspaper anecdotes which are related of the young Princes, for I met the Duke of Orleans this morning, marching with the rest of his com rades in the Rue de la Pais, with his carbine on his shoul der, as a simple artillery-man. There is no favour shown ; each of the King's sons do duty the same as the meanest citimns.
