spirit of liberality—have been granted, they have not been sufficient to calm the popular effervescence ; and the partial explosions now breaking out are symptoms of the general dissatisfaction, which will burst into one universal conflagra tion, on the first favourable opportunity. Governments ap pear to Lave placed themselves in a false position ; they ima gine, that by refusing to grant liberal institutions, they' avoid what they call revolutions; whereas, these revolutions are brought about precisely by this very perseverance, in refusing what the spirit of the times and the wants of the people imperiously demand. There is, however, a master force above them—public opinion—the great ru ling: power of the age. This state of the people of Europe ought the more to induce Governments to pursue the paths of peace and concord. It is evident that an attack upon the indepen dence of a single power would involve all Europe in revolu tion ; it would realise the prophecy of Mr. Canning ; it would be the Eolus that would put forth storms and tempests, overwhelming all the old monarchies of the ancient world. —Courrier Francais. FRA NCE.—The Chamber is; going to be completed by about one hundred members. Amongst those members to be elected, there are thirty-seven which forms a part of the Chamber as it is at present, and who are going to be subject to a re-election from having been raised to public functions. Commonly in elections, all the names of Deputies who have accepted places may not come out of the urn; in elec tions which have only taken place on account of their being appointed to public functions, it is hardly possible not to see them re-elected ; it would otherwise appear like a personal insult, and the electors would not take such a step with ant serious motives. There will be then about seventy new members, and it is in this surplus that will consist the extolled regeneneration of the Chamber. Till then, the Ministry will have managed to do with the majority, such as it is; and by that it plainly ap pears in what shade they wish the choice to be made. It is, however, repeated of the Ministry, that every thing is going on for the better ; that the fortunate union it has made with the Chamber, will make it henceforth steady ; and that the differents election, will make the Chamber competent and respectable in the eyes of all. All this is repeated in the drawing-rooms of Ministers, at the Chamber, and in the papers of the Chamber; the Ministry have it in their power to believe their work almost finished, and consider them melves certain of public opinion, of the assent of Franco, and the prospect of the future. Unhappily for Mi nisters, this is not the case. While they are throwing the anchor, instead of profiting by the wind, and stop to receive and return salutations, others do not wait, and events are still going on. Abroad, the affairs of Belgium may, in a short time, arrive to a point where the Ministry would be obliged to mix an increase of energy with the prudence which was sufficient for them up to the day of the report. In the interior, certain urgent reforms, which they could have had the honour of fostering, are going to be done without them—without their having the power to put any obstacle to it, and without being under any obligation to them for lending their aid. It is towards M. Benjamin Constant and Bayeux that gratitude will be due for what they have proposed. Other reforms, which have been too long delayed, or that the Ministry will only agree to with restriction, will turn to unpopularity. The active opinions of citizens, who busy themselves about the public business, is growing, while the slowness and wavering of power is appa rent. The centre of moving strength is unsettled, and power will soon find itself out of it. Ministers had a sure means to satisfy and fulfil magnificently, the imaginations of youth and the people : they would also at the same time have satis fied and directed the national judgment, by true legislative reform; they have not dared to employ that means; they only re-opened the Pantheon to great men, because they feared that those revered busts might be taken there without their permission ; instead of thinking of celebrating, by expiatory solemnity, the illustrious martyrs of liberty, they appeared to dread the generous emotions those rejoicings spread, and did not wish to have the ap pearance of paying devotion to the glorious principle of those martys. What will be the consequence of all this tactic ? Why, that many things will take place out of power, and against their will ; and that many others will not take place at all, or will be badly done. No thanks will be due for the one, and much ill-will shall be the reward of the o thers ; notwithstanding the situation was admirable, and b oldness only required to maintain it.—Le Globe. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE EXPRESS FROM PARIS. We have received by express the Guyette de France, the Me:eager des Clusetbres, the Montkyr, and other Paris papers of Tuesday : we have room for only a few extracts t "CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES.—SIrrnto or Bierr. 20. " The President took the chair at a quarter past one o'clock. "Thirteen law projects for improving the roads in as many depart. meats, were brought up and adopted without discussion. " The President announced a message from the Chamber of Peers. with the law project for applying the trial by jury to offences by the press, and to political offences, adopted on the 18th, which was ordered to be printed. " Fourteen other law projects, relative to the limits of u many der partments and arrondissements, were then presented and adopted. " Reports of the petition committee were laid before the Chamber; but none of them were of a nature to excite any general interest. " The President said, that u there was nothing more upon the order of the day, he would propose an sdjournment till Thursday. The re porter of the committee of impeachment was then reading his report In that committee, and if it should be ready to be laid before the Clam her previous to Thursday, summonses would be sent to the mem bets at their respective residences. " The Chamber then adjourned. " The committee of impeachment against the late Ministers as. gambled yesterday to bear the report drawn up by M. Beringer, which, from the length of time employed in raiding it, Is evidently very long. The meeting was secret. It is however stated, that the report, which concludes by recommending to the Chamber that three commissioners should be appointed to conduct the proceedings before the Chamber of Peers was adopted.

The Saxon Minister here has received his credentials to the King of the French. The Austrian recognition was brought last night by a member of the embassy. We received last night Dutch Papers to the 2lst Sept. They contain accounts of the proceedings of the States Ge neral ; and, from the tone of some of the speeches, though the proceedings are yet preliminary, we foresee that the de cision will be exceedingly hostile to the Belgians. The following are extracts : Prom the Hague Courant, Sept. 20. TIM HAGUE, SEPT. 18. SECOND CHAMBER OF THE STATES GENERAL. The Sitting opened at half past one, 101 Members being present. The PAZBIDIVT announced that he bad received letters from MOM Copia and Dr &assert, excusing themselves for non-attendance, the former being on a tour in Italy and Switzerland, and the latter having been obliged to leave the Hague on account of the serious illness of his wife. The PILESIDENT then said, that having received several petitions, it was n wry for him to appoint the Committee of Petitions. These pe titions all re to the reformation of the two parts of the kingdom. M. BICZAZITS said, the Extraordinary Seesiontof:the States General at this moment sitting, has been convoked for a certain purpose, which is stated in the Act of Convocation ; I therefore think that the Chamber cumot attend to any business except that for which it is exclusively summoned to deliberate, and that the petitions which do nut relate to this business must be deferred to the next Session. Those which relate to the separation maybe referred to the Committee. This proposition was adopted by the Chamber. The PRESIDZIIT.—M. Symms by to speak in support of a Motion made by him. M. SYTZAMA Said In substance—From the Royal Message addressed to us it is evident that some provinces of the kingdom are in a state of insurrection—that the legal authority and the power of the law are no longer respected : it is also indubitable that this state of things impe ratively requires measures to be taken, calculated not only to restore, but permanently to establish tranquillity and the power of the laws. After some remarks on the actual state of the provinces where the in surrection exists, the Speaker made to the Chamber the following pro. position : " That the Chamber respectfully asks the King to be pleased to order the Ministers to lay before him a detailed report, pointing out the causes which have led to the revolt. " That this report shall make mention of the events that preceded these troubles, the results which have followed them, and pointing out the persons and their acts, as far as known up to the date of the Report, as well as the means that have been employed to repress the disorder. Lastly, if it is true, as is generally believed, that the Rep or t of this insurrection was known some days beforehand , the shall state what was done to prevent it. "That his Majesty then be requested to communicate this Report to the Chamber." Such, continued M. Vas Swszawa, is the only means that will enable us to consider of the measures to be proposed to the Government. But if the Government should see any inconvenience in laying before the Chamber the whole of the detailed Report which I ask for, It yet seems to me that there can be no reason for sparing the persons impli cated. Meantime it is not my intention that my proposal should con tribute in any manner to suspend or to delay the energetic measures which may be ordered to suppress the rebellion. I only desire to place myself in a situation to act with a knowledge of the circumstances, and with that prudence which the importance of the case, our love for the country, and fidelity for the House of Orange, require. Igo farther, and openly declare, that I regret that vigorous measures were not sooner employed to resters order ; for the more we temporise, the more will the good spirit of the inhabitants be weakened—the more in jury will be sustained by good and loyal citizens, who bad incontestible rights to the paternal protection of the Government. They undoubt ally deserve more regard than those who, to testify their attachment to the dynasty, have burnt in the city of Brussels the Speech of the Ring to the States-General--have placed themselves out of the pale of the law, and have trampled our Institutions under foot. There are mo ments when it is better to act than to write or to talk. This moment is come. The plunderers and incendiaries must be punished, and honest people must be protected. I call for the employment of energetic mea sures, only that we may be able to discuss with confidence, and above all with frankness, the dearest interests of our country, without other authority than that laid down by the fundamental law, after the re-esta blishment of tranquillity and order after entire submission to authority and the laws, after the insult offered to the national Hag shall have been atoned for. Now such a discussion is impossible, so long as a rebellious part of the population is in arms to defend e crated demands, and to frighten weak minds. I lay my proposal on the , and request the Chamber to order it to be referred to the Section for examination. M. VAN DAN VAX ?NM? seconded t h e =WOO of M. VAN STIMIAMA. Id. Vex ALossir—The whole Nation Is attentive to what this Chamber will do. It is impotent to know the result of our delibe rations. In consequence, I propose that, for this time, the Address in answer to the Speech from the Throne be publicly discussed.— This answer greatly interests the nation. It must eminently contri bute to the speay restoration of tranquillity, for the desires of the King are positive; and as the answers of the Chambers ought like wise to be positive, there will be no room to doubt or to consult re specting our dispositions. The proposal of M. VAN ALPKES was then discussed in the Ge neral Committee, which resolved that the Address should be discussed in the usual manner. The project of the Address proposed by the Committee was then sent to the Sections, in which it was examined immediately after the General Committee broke up. The central section is to draw up its report to day (Sunday), and lay it before the Chamber in the Secret Committee on Monday. The debates on this important subject will begin imme diately afterwards. AMITZSDAL SEPT. 18.—. Actual Debt, 21 per Cents. 49 to MI. Deferred Debt, la to 1 8-16ths.

It appears from them that Brussels, Liege, Namur, and several other places, are in a state of great ex.; citement ; that the working classes are kept down by the Burgher Guard with great difficulty; that some posts in Brussels have been attacked, and two men wounded in the fray, one mortally. A Deputation from Brussels to the Hague returned with an account that the Belgian Members were in a state of constraint. They were advised by the latter to leave the Hague with all dispatch. The following are extracts : ( Frogs SA Gantt. des Pays Bar.) LITOZ, SZPT. 18.—The greatest tranquillity has prevailed here i during the night.

At II at night the troops retired, and the printer's men, as well as some strangers, who happened to be In the house, were able to leave it. However, two sentinels were left at the door till four o'clock next day, when a notice was sent by the General to Captain Dupont to with draw the sentinels, but first to signify to Mr. Mitten, the printer, that any offence contrary to the promulgation of the Decree that has been issued of his Excellency General Van Ginn, will be prosecuted immediately on publication, according to the powers delegated to him, and expressed in the Decree quoted in his Pro clamation. If Captain Dupont should not find the Editor he was to leave the notice with his wife, or some other person of tie establish ment, from whom he should require a receipt. BRUSSELS, SEPT. 2U.—A Proclamation, poste d up yesterday at ternoon,• was torn down in many places. assembled in a tumultuous manner opposite the Town Ha ll, la a s ce in extreme agitation, and uttered cries mingled with imprecations against some citizens. About six o'clock a Discourse, in the form of a Protest, was read on the steps of the Town Hall. This discourse had a good many signatures toil. It was welcomed by the multitude with long-con. tinued bravos. It demanded, among other things, dim the Committee of Public Safety should take a definite resolution, and call to Brussels all the citizens of the towns of the South, who had offered to come hither at the beginning of the revolution. After the reading of this Protest against the measures adopted by the Committee, the agitation increased. An immense crowd pressed against the door of the Town Hall, which was guarded by sonic sentinels. At length the populace got into the Town Hall, and came out again with some arms. Several detachments, preceded by thums, traversed the streets during the night. About one in the morning the populace, who bad not quitted the Grand Place, attempted to disarm the post of the Burgher Guard stationed there. In this extremity the guards were obliged to fire. Two men were wounded—one in the hand, the other in the thigh. This morning two or three bands, among whom there were only a few with anns, arc said to have left the city. It is not known in what direction they have gone. (Front the Journal de la Belgique.) Bausszcs, SEPT. 19.—Messrs. Nicolai and Vleminekz, who went to the Hague with the address to our Deputies in the two Chambers, re turned from Holland. It is said that the Committee of Public Safety will issue a Proclamation relative to their journey. BRUSSELS, SEPT. 20.—Yesterday there were numerous SUM blages in the great market.place. They demanded arms to march to Vilvorde, and already, in the night of the 20th, some detachments had gone out on that road, and the road to Terveuren, and brought back with them four horses of the Marechaussee. This p roceedinge was disap ved by the Councillor of Public Safety, in a proclamation which was posted up in the afternoon. This Proclamation increased the ed'er. vescence of the crowd, and was torn to pieces in the great market-place. Arms were loudly called for • a group succeeded in entering the Town ball, and seized on a chest ("muskets. This state of things continued in the great market-place till night ; about ten o'clock a vast multitude began to traverse the streets, preceded by drums and Burgher Guards of Liege. They marched with great order, fraternizing with the ports, and announcing in noisy acclamations their desire to march. But towards mid night a deplorable scene occurred in the market-place. It is difficult to state under such circumstances, and in the darkness of the night, bow the facts really happened. Some musket shots were find, and it is said that one person was mortally wounded. Great agitation still prevails in the city. This morning the drums beat to arms, the poet of Amigo has been disarmed. At the moment we are going to press, the same thing is taking place in the Corps de Garde. The Courier des Pays Bee gives an account of the object of Messrs. Nicola and Vlemetsekx._ _ They arrived at the Hague on Thursday eveningr it was not till the next morning that they were able to speak to four or five of our Deputies, who, having promised in the name of their colleagues to take the Address into consideration, advised our two travellers to leave the Hague before the object of their journey was known. They ac cordingly left the Hague on Friday morning at ten o'clock. The Courier adds, that from what Mews. N. and V. could collect in their communications with those of our Deputies who received them, It seems that our representatives are in an evident state of constraint at the Hague, and in circumstances which hinder them from acting and speaking with due freedom. The Dutch majority openly mani fests an intention not to deliberate on our affairs io the presence of what they call the Belgic Rebellion. A letter from the Hague ' of the 17th, says, " It is sald that the sections are generally disposed to advise the separation, but that they will at the same time require conditions to be attached to it."—Brus. eels Papers of the 20th and 21st of September. • It was a Proclamation by the Committee of Public Safety. See extracts from the Journal de la Belgique. SPIRIT OF THE JOURNALS. Tiros— Affairs in the Netherlands are rapidly approaching a exist,. Papers and letters from Holland ani from Belgium, of the 20th , give us reason to believe that Brussels has either by this me submitted to the Government, or that its inhabitants have exchanged their equivocal character of armed petitioners for that of declared rebels. Poss.—By the most recent and authentic accounts from Brussels we learn that the worthy shopkeepers of that city begin to get tired of hay. ing nothing better to do than to mount guard over the goods they can no longer sell, and would almost equally rejoice at the presence of the King's troops to relieve them from the military duties they And so bur. densome, and at the return of those customers whom their revolutionary language and demeanour have assisted the efforts of an been. diary mob to drive away. The general impression among the beat informed persons in this country certainly is, that ditto no longer exists any impediment to the full restoration of of the Royal authority in the capital of Belglum,a nd that the Stales. General may proceed to discuss. The pause which has occurred in the progress of the French Revolution, the temporary ascendancy of the more moderate of the Revolutionary party in that country, has obviously disheartened and paralysed fora moment the Revolution Isis of the Nether lands, whose connections and sympathy are entirely with the most violent and ambitious of French panics. The present, therefore, is the period foe;a display of energy and decision on the part of the Government of Belgium, if that country is to be preserved. Let political power once change hands in France (is there any even of the warmest admirers of the French Revolution who can deny the probability of a speedy and sudden change ?) and it will be too late. lf, however, just retribution be now administered to the Belgic rebels—if the proper means of re pression be now vigorously employed, the confidence of this senseless and criminal confederacy in the protection and aid of revolutionary France will not in any circumstances be vertessily restored, and the future convulsions and vicissitudes which France is probably destined to undergo will be so much the less likely to diffuse their agitating and disorgasiang influence beyond her proper boundaries. II zamm.--Though confidently stated to be the ease, we never theless, trust it is not true, that the Reverend Divine who has been so recently translated from the See of Gloucester to that of Exeter is about to make another change, by tranferring the scene of his pious labours to the more profitable Dee of Banger. A Bath paper states the trans. lotion to have actually taken place; bat such cannot be the ease, as the Gasetting of the Conge d'elire is the necessary and unavoid able prelude to the fact. There is nothing which beings such disgrace upon the Church, and, of course, thereby so much in jure* the cause of religion, as the practice of episcopal trans ' lation, by which the world are led—and, we fear, but toe truly—to be lieve that Churchmen are to be found who worship Mammon in pre ference to God. That the Archbishop should be taken from among the existing Bishops is, perhaps, excusable; but, beyond that, we know of no good or proper motive which can be assigned for taking a i t y st a l from the supervision of a flock to which he ought to be ameba all earthly considerations. The times are not such as to admit of the continuance of abuses such as theses and we confidently hops that the good sense of the public will lead them to consider that the best friends of the Church Establishment who boldly decry them. What is thought of the husband or the father, in private life, who de serts his wife and family to devote himself to some new and unhallowed connection ? and bow less criminal, in a strict sense, is he who, wedded in the holiest bonds to a Christian family, meanly deserts it for the sake of a better house and more ample domains ? Of course we use the ar. gutnent generally. The practice hes been too long countenanced to make its application personal. But we would earnestly call upon those who must see the mischief it is calculated to produce, and who have the power to avert the danger, to set their faces against the continuance den evil, which has been one of die blessed fruits of favouritism and borough patronage on the one bend, and of a servile cupidity on the other. is. we say, possible—{though we really know not what the fact may be)—it is possible that the Prime Minister may not have lammed the stock of his regular Parliamentary sup by the late appeal to the people.

CHRONICLE—The people of England ate beginning to be aware of the nature of the injury which they sustain front the law favouring the accumulation of property in the bands of individuals. Why is it that a Frenchman with a moderate income is independent, and an Englishman with three times the same means fs miserable and a slave ? Because property Is more divided in France, and individuals are not, in order to escape the contempt which is the lot of poverty in an aristocratical country, stimulated to acquire greet.. wealth. A cer tain amount of property is necessary to comfortable existence; but the demands of luxury are as insatiable as the grave. Burke, with his talents and his iudustry, in Francs, a the present day, would have been a first-rate man, witheut the serenity of ruining his tradesmen, and occupying an immense Luildni_, in order to as sociate with the Aristocracy. M. Destutt de Treey well obseta es— " The multiplication of our means of enjoyntent is a very good thing ; the too unequal distribution of them is a very bad thing, and the source of all our evils. The Interest of the poor is the inte rest of society.'. . . . I shall beasked, perhaps, is the inequality of wealth so great an evil ? I answer boldly, yes ; tor. in the first place, reducing inequality of instruction, capacity, and tutiuence, it tends to bring about an inequality of power, and consequently to overturn et. ciety. Besides, in considering it only in an economical point of vi e w. we have seen that the fund from which wages are derived, is the revenue of all those who have capitals, and that among the latter, they who embark in any industrious enterprise alone augment their wealth, and consequently the wealth of the nation. Now the possessors of great fortunes are precise ly the persons who are idle, and nlur only pay labour for tEZ is e e deasure. Hence, the more great fortse.es exist, the more the national wealth diminishes. The matey), tt' all time' and all countries supports this theory ; for, when vtr you see CONSPiIIe fortunes, you will there see the greatest ham ry an.! the greatest stagnation in industry. To judge of the exaggeration of certain fortunes, we must keep proportions in mind ; for there may be rich Englishmen, equally rich, and even richer, than Ill? greatest Russian or Polish Lords; but they arc in the midst of a steeple among whom easy circumstances are much more general, and, conse quently, the disproportion, though real, is much less decided. The perfection of society would then he to increase as much as possible. our wealth, by avoiding its extreme inequality."—We have seen, lintv. I ever, that the law in England favours that which i t oug h t to I ts rai l 's r the object of law to prevent. We witness the effects in the arrogant and exclusive character of an Arirtocracy on the one hand, and the servility and immorality of the inferior classes on the other. Till KING'S COURT.
