We are indebted to a Second Edition of the Times of this morning, for two pieces of important intelligence. The one, that Prince TALLEY RAN n is appointed by the KING of the French, as Ambassador to this country ; and the other, that the Belgians have, at last, declared, as a sine qua non, to their KING, that Belgium and Holland should henceforth be two separate States. It is likewise added, that Prussia, Russia, and Austria, have all determined to send their recognizance of the new French Government. All this intelligence may be said to be decidedly pacific ; and if it be all true, the affairs of Europe appear not unlikely to retain much the same position, which existed previously to the late French Revolution. To the conduct of France, then, according to these appearances, shall we have to look, alone, for the preservation of the future peace of Eu rope. In not wildly interfering, to encourage the Belgian malcontents, the present French Government have given a proof of political prudence, which we hope may be taken as an earnest of its future policy. In alt probability, the expected revolution in Spain will make another call on France for a display of similar discretion ; and we trust it will continue, for the security of its own Go vernment, and the peace of Europe, to act on the same wise principles. To forbode storms in the midst of calm sunshine, is not a pleasant task, and seldom obtains much favour for the evil prophet ; but we cannot act so timidly towards our readers, as to conceal from them our apprehensions, that we yet can form but a very imperfect judgment of the results of the last French Revolution. We are not so credulous as to believe, that any real unity of sentiment exists between the great European States—between the SOVEREIGNs, profes sionally, an esprit du corps, in such times must, we admit, exist ; but as guardians of the interests of their People, al though all may acknowledge the new order of things in France, we feel assured that all will be intriguing to obtain that influence in French policy, which may best ad vance their own peculiar interests. We cannot, likewise, but be apprehensive that the present French Government will itself be too much acted upon by the sudden caprices, or partial views of its own people. As well, may a man in a dense crowd attempt to carry a basin of water unruffled, as any King or Government, conduct the af f airs of a State, subject to the continued controul of the easily misled mass of any nation. We think the KING of the FRENCH intends wisely ; and we hope the influential individuals now around him, will not be off their guard so far, as to allow any theoretical views to interfere, in giving adequate strength to his Government. By private letters received ,this morning from Perpignan and Toulouse, dated the 31st ult., it is stated that a depAt of We Spanish Constitutionalists was forming at Perpignan, and that a great number of emigrant ()Seers had already arrived there with uniforms, and arms. An order hat 4V.'1 74 1,-Nr ' - - ' 4:i 1 , ?(;,0 s tp, 4 7 4$ er`F:t 4 ;r— -:2;,.:14iL1tQ,...',;.?:-', 5—FO e A,7 S fit.:•l4,r4, LONDON. WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 8. been sent to Lyons for 30,000 yellow and red cockades to be immediately forwarded to the depot. A great number of Inns was daily expected, as a letter had been received from General Mt NA, that after be bad made the proper arrange ments at Bayonne, so as to insure the success of the expedition, he should proceed to Perpignan, and en ter Spain by way of Catalonia, whilst his comrades in arms would make an incursion by Navarre and other parts. The accounts from Spain were very favourable to the cause, as nearly 90,000 men were ready to take up arms for the deliverance of their country ; and the most successful results were expected. The emigrants receive money and other subsidies, from some of the first men in France ; and every thing is done by the present Government, to promote its cause. MIN• is expected at Bayonne on the 4th of September. Information is in town from the Russian capital, one day later than elsewhere mentioned. The Russian Ministry were on the 22d ult. in some degree of excitement, in conse quence of the news from France; and the Emperor of Russia expressed himself in strong terms on the subject.— Despatches had arrived from France on the 22d ult. which it was stated at St. Petersburg, announced the accession of Pit iLr P ; and the Ministry sat in deliberation on the subject of their contents for some hours. The public were little acquainted with what was going on at Paris, at Brussels, and elsewhere, and appeared to care less as to what might be the result. The feeling was, that the Rus sian Cabinet would not offer any opposition to the new French Government. Despatches were sent off to Count Pozzo DI Bonoo in the evening of the 22d. The Ambas sadors of the other Continental Powers were in consultation on the same day, but nothing was generally known as to what course NICHOLAS intended in future to adopt. The Exchange on London remained firm, and business in pro ' duce was active. There was a great scarcity of ship rooms, and freights were improving. The accounts from Brussels obtained to-day, are in terms which show how gratified the writers were at the resolution which had been come to, to demand the separa tion of Holland from Belgium; there being a full conviction that no permanent opposition would be made to the demand, by the King of the Netherlands. From the marked kind ness and affection displayed by the Prince of Orange to the people, it was expected at Brussels, that he would be placed at the head of the new order of things there. The arrival of the Dutch steam-boat, which became due this day at noon, is most anxiously expected, as she will convey news one day later than those received this morning. We have received the following letter from a correspond ent at Ghent, dated the sth. " I hasten to tranquilize you as to our situation here. Our City has not been the least troubled ; but it has been owing to the measures of precaution taken by the respectable inhabitants, acting in concert with the troops of the garrison. The sentiments of the independent inhabitants were, how ever, sufficiently in favour of the proceedings of theiz neigh bours at Brussels, to have readily joined them in any public declaration ; but they had the discretion to attend, in the first instance, to tho security of property. Be assured every Belgian is of one mind as to their dislike of Dutch su premacy. It is rumoured, that the French, having rejected all overtures made for countenance or aid, the Belgians still demand a separate Government, if even under one King. How this can be arranged I see not. Many of the English have been leaving Ghent—but, no doubt, will now return." We have received a file of the South African Advertiser from the 19th May to the 24th June. It was reported that a stratum of fine coal had lately been discovered in the dis trict of Worcester. It appears the rains had been heavy, which had much mitigated the severe sickness previously raging. The drought had previously been very distressing, particularly in the interior. Much distress existed among the poor of Cape Town, which was much aggravated by the high price of bread. There was also an unusual extent of disease. We have received Granada papers to the 9th July. Pri vate information had been received there, that the case of the unhappy dissensions, and consequent public confusion in Tobago, would shortly cease, by the removal of Mr. MACBEAN, the Attorney-General. It was understood the Governor, Sir NATHANIEL BLACKWELL, had received a despatch from the Colonial Office, directing him to solicit those gentlemen who, on the re-instatement of Mr. MACBEAN, resigned their several situations and appointments, to re assume them, under a promise that " although His MAJESTY could not approve of the suspension of Mr. MACBEAN, yet as he had unfortunately forfeited the good opinion of the community, an early opportunity should be taken to remove him from Tobago, but not to his prejudice." The Granada Gazette commenting on this, says— " Considering Mr. MACBEAN is very properly to be removed, in deference to public feeling at Tobago, we are at a loss to conceive how it can be effected, without being to his prejudice. It is true, he may be appointed to a situation more lucrative ; but the man who owes his promotion and prosperity to conduct and sentiments injurious to the com munity in which he resides, cannot, in our opinion, be either envied or respected." The weather at Granada continued most unpropitious for the interests of the planter. Incessant rains had rendered the roads, in some places, completely impassable ; and the sugar made, and ready for shipping, could not be carted to the bays. On many of the properties one third of the crops must stand on the ground until next next season ; and the consequent loss to the proprietors in the present distressing times would be most ruinous. We have this day given a copy of Mr. OWEN'S speech at the meeting called by him, and which took place at the Freemason's Tavern on Monday. It will be found to con tain a most lucid and argumentative exposition of that gentleman's sentiments, and we recommend it to the perusal ofourßeaders,particularly those who have ever indulged them selves, in investigating the origin of the human character. Whether they accord with Mr. Owix's views or not, they will perceive in it much talent and purity of intention. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (Official News from the Moniteur of Monday.) IMPORTANT. The KING has appointed the Prince of TA LLEYRA ND Extraordinary Ambassador and Minister Plenipotentiary to the Court of his BRITANNIC MAJESTY. BANK NOTICE. The following is posted at the Bank :—The Go- VERNOR and DEPUTY GOVERNOR Of the BANK of ENGLAND do hereby give notice, that on and after the 3d instant, they will be ready to receive applications for Loans, upon the deposit of Bills of Exchange, Exchequer Bills, East India Bonds, or other approved Securities: such Loans to be repaid on or before the 15th of October next, with interest, at the rate of 31. per centum per annum, and to be for sums of not less than 2,0001. and for a period of not less than ten days. From the National, Monday.—Algiers, Aug. 23.—1 t was reported yesterday that General Clauzel has arrived here, since these four days. M. Bourmont has left the Casauba, to make place for his successor, and he is going to live, as a private individual, in a very little neat house. The news of the memorable events at Paris, and of the resistance to the Royal troops, has been received with the greatest joy by the African army. Several lieu tenants, attached to the ancient regime, through their interest, have given in their resignation. This is no loss to the army, as a purification was necessary. Duke of d'Eacars, commander of the 3d division of the army, has left Algiers incog. and embarked in a merchant vessel for Carthagena. Our troops are much harnessed by the obstinate warfare of the Bedouins ; they leave Oran and Bona, and return to Al giers. All our forces will be concentrated around Algiers, where they will remain in winter quarters, and will recom mence, in the spring, the campaign, on a new plan. The Count d'Armer, Chamberlain of the King of Prussia, arrived on Monday from Berlin, in Paris. The French Government are about to create fio millions of Bonds, at long dates. If new Bonds should be circu lated, endeavours will be made to circulate them in Engl and and Holland. Consols, which left off heavy, at 87j yesterday, opened at 871 88 ; and at present may be quoted at 881 for the ac count. The fall, therefore, in the French funds, of 2 per cent. has had no effect on the Consol market. The appointment of Talleyrand, Ambassador to this country, is looked upon as a most important event in the city. In the foreign market nothing doing as yet. CITY, HALF-PAST ONE. The Consol Market looks healthy, and improved during the morning per cent. This may be attributed to the notice of the Bank, and an improvement in the French rents. After the Cours Authentique was printed, they are stated to have got up the three per cents. to 71 40 ; Consols, which were in the early part of the morning at 871 for the Ac count, got np to 88k. At present they are 8818, and a good deal of business has been done. Tho Bears fear to be caught on the arrival of the next accounts from St. Petersburg!), when it is expected that the Emperor of Russia will acknowledge the new King of France. In the Foreign Market all securities have improved, par ticularly Russian Bonds, which have been done at 102. vE R POO L, SEPT. 6.—The demand for British planta tion sugar has been rather animated this week, 1,300 hhcls. have been sold; the lower qualities have again sold higher, whilst the finer sorts have given way. The cotton market has been dull through the week, and the common kinds of American and Brazil may be considered ith of a penny per lb. lower. We have neglected to notice, in our report of Mr. Owen's meeting, that he intimated, that on Thursday week a public meeting would be held, at No. 2, Leicester-place, at eight o'clock, to propose two plans for the relief of the public from the oppression of machinery. PA RIB, SEPT. 5.--The revolt of the printers of Paris (as it has been termed) is at an end—some concessions have been made to them which will have the effect of producing an immediate calm, but from which some people apprehend much future mischief. Within the last few days many hun dreds of really well-disposed compositors have voluntarily joined, or been compelled to associate, with the discontented ; but I am convinced the " turn out" was originally produced by the same class of persons, who, amongst the opera tives of England, frequently exercise a lamentable influence.... persons who live in idleness and debauchery on the funds forcibly drawn from the industrious and well-conducted. The " revolted" printers have assumed great merit for bra very and good conduct during the three days—and unques tionably the real bona-fide working printers of Paris did, by their courage, their intelligence, and their moderation, contribute mainly to the glorious revolution we have wit nessed; but while they were combating the Garde Royale at the Halle, the Place de Grave, the Louvre, the Tuileries, the Rue Babylonne, &c. the persons who have caused the " revolt" were employed in breaking the machinery used in printing. While the brave working printers of Paris were absolutely engaged in a mortal struggle for the freedom of their country, they found time, nevertheless, on the 29th July, to inscribe on the walls a recommendation which was religiously observed throughout, " respect the Chiefs and monuments." Not so the authors of the " re volt," for on the same day, taking advantage of the absence of the truly courageous compositors, they repaired to various printing-offices to destroy machinery. These were the men who produced the late " revolt " I have been thus particular respecting the movements which have taken place here within the last four days, in order to show, if it be necessary, that the symptoms of disorder that have been 'observable in Paris during that time were not chargeable on that truly re spectable class, the printers of Paris,but on a few combinators. Enough of mischief had been done to Paris by the alarm caused by the revolution. The ferment of the last week will have gone far to renew terrors which had subsided, and will hasten from Paris many of the comparatively few foreigners who had remained after the revolution, although, in fact, no real ground for alarm exists, or did exist, during the revolt. In some of the manufacturing towns of France, similar movements of ouvriers have taken place; but have been every where terminated by the wisdom and firmness of the authorities. The same may be said of the mutiny of some regiments at Metz and elsewhere. These latter proceed ings might have assumed a serious aspect, but for the promptitude with which they were met. The army is still in a state of demoralization ; but it will shortly resume its wonted character. The events that have occurred at Metz will facilitate rather than retard its re-organization. The horrible invention of some miscreants panting for blood, that the wounded in the Hotel Dieu had been poisoned by the Sisters of Charity, who had attended and nursed them, has been formally exposed and denied by the patients them selves. Thus this new attempt to get up another Septem ber massacre of priests and nuns has been defeated ; but it will require years of abstinence from politics and fanaticism on the part of the clergy to prove that their existence is compatible with civil and religious freedom..._Private Letter in Herald. COURT INTELLIGENCE. BRIGHTON , SEPT. 6.—The Lord Chancellor Wag honoured with an audience this morning, at the Palace, by his Majesty, and, sub sequently, Admiral Sir Robert Otway. In the afternoon, his Nisjesty took a carriage airing, unaccompanied, and honoured Lady Nelson (Duchess of Bronti) with a visit at the Sea House Hotel. The Quem this morning alighted from her carriage at the Grand Parade Bazaar, where her Majesty was received by the Duke of Cambridge and Prince George. Miss Fitzclarenoe, and the Lady inWaiting, Miss Boyle, were ice. eluded in the Royal Party. Divers purchases were made in the said Bazaar. The Queen, with the Royal Duke, Miss Fitaclarence, and Miss Boyle, subsequently visited the Suspension Pier, walked to its outer extremity, and appeared delighted with the beauties of the place. The Princes► Augusta, and the Landgravine of Hesse Homburg, attended by Miss Wynyard and Miss Stein, left the Palace this morning, to visit he Earl and Countess of Arran at Bognor. Colonel Wheatley arrivtd at the Palace this afternoon. The Dowager Lady Longford, who is arr i ve d atWeatern House, Lord C. S. Churchill, from 26, Rock Gardens,3lr. and Mrs. F.

The Duke and Duchess of Cumberland returned to their residence at Kew, on Monday afternoon. The Duke of Wellington is staying with a shooting party near Northampton. Prince Euerhazy, the Austrian Ambassador, and Mon sieur &minder., the Spanish Minister, had interviews with the Earl of Aberdeen yesterday, at the Office of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. Despatches sere sent off yesterday evening for Sir Fred. Adam, the Loed High Commissioner of the lonian blendx, from the Coloni3l Mike. Mr. Harries left town yesterday afternoon for Tonbridgo Wells. Previous to leaving town, the Right Ilonourable Gentleman had an interview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The Neaerlands Ambassador received despatches yester day from his Government. The ex-King of France commenced the shooting season in the neighbourhood of bulwarth Castle on the Ist day of the month. We understand that our High Bailiff, William Chance, Esq. has invited the Duke of Wellington and Sir Robert Pcel, Ban. to his official dinner on Thursday, the 23d of this month, and that the invitations have been accepted. His Grace, we learn, will at the same time be the guest of Sir Robert, at his seat, Draytonspark.—Biusings ham Gazelle. In addition to the Duchess of Kent and Princess Vic , toils, who will honour the Worcester Music Meeting with their pre sence, it is confidently reported that Prince Leopold win also attend, his Royal Highness being shortly expected at klalvern. Extensive preparations are now making for the reception of visitors. The Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria visited Hereford on Tuesday ; they were received at the Episcopal Palace by the venerable Bishop. An address was presented to their Royal Highnesses by the Mayor and Corporation, to which the Duchess made a suitable reply. In the after. noon they returned to Malvern.—Chellenham Journal. If the Tax-office, instead of merely heading an advertise ment inserted in all the papers, both in town and country, with the tempting words " Assumed Taxes Reduced and Repealed," would par ticularise what the reductions and repeals are, they would confer a great favour upon those nineteen twentieths of the community who have no Imans of referring to the Statutes at Large. Should Mr. O'Connell succeed in his efforts to induce the House of Commons to adjourn at nine o'clock in the evening in future, it would be necessary that the House should meet at ten o'clock in the morning, as it did in olden time. Long and vapid speeches in Parlia ment are become an intolerable bore; they obstruct thi progress of public business, while the interest of the country are sacrificed to the idle vanity of those loquacious speakers, whose 'speeches might be said not to have either beginning or end. Our illustrious countryman, Thomas Moore, is, we under stand, expected in a few days, on a visit to his friend, Captain Bryan, of Jenkinstown, in this county. The gallant Captain, our infortrant states, has issued cards of invitation to several of the nobility and gentry of the county of Kilkenny, to meet the poet, who is " the delight of all ci.elo, and the idol of his own."—iilkenny Journal. PROPIIECY.—Francis Moore, physician, in his agrologi ad predictions for the summer quarter of the present year, made a happy hit. "We may expect to hear of some eminent mutation., State meetings, convention.. and changes in the municipal laws of some neighbouring nations, which will be effected with much heat and vigour ; and some crowned heath: will be greatly distressed.".—llaw burg Reporter. DRURY-LANE TIIEATRE.—The new decorations of this Theatre are on the most liberal scale; the front of the boxes is taste- fully coloured buff and blue ; the ornaments and scroll work are of very;pale gold, which has the appearance of silver, and will not be open to the same objection (silver assuming by candle-light a dark stecl.like appearance.) The medallions are of crimson, which forms a very pleasing contrast to the lighter colours, and gives a very tasteful effect to the whole. The ceiling is painted to resemble drapery. Judging from the imperfect view we had of it yesterday, we think it will be equally novel and effective. The dramatic and musical arrangements are upon an equally liberal scale. In addition to those we have an nounced, Bishop is engaged for the whole season. Bishop (besides being engaged as composer) will have the direction of the orchestra, where he will preside, as it Is intended that every evening two classical overtures shall be performed. In a short time we shall give our readers a more detailed account of the Improvements and arrangements of this Theatre. THE BRITISH Navy.—ln Portsmouth Dock-yard places are erect ing for the purpose of building and completing, in every department, steam-vessels for his Majesty's service. There are also sent tal tine ships on the stocks, particularly the Neptune, which will be the !argot vessel that was ever built. Mr. Blake, the assistant muter builder. to whom the country is indebted for many important improvements in ship building, is now completing the Vindictive with a square bow, which will render her capable of carrying twelve instead of four guns on her bow, consequently more formidable when chasing an enemy. When an old gallant Admiral saw it he exclaimed, "Aye, this is as it should be I don't are whether my ship has a round or a square stern, or whether she has ten or twenty guns on it ; give me guns at the bow, that I may pepper the foe as he flies from me." Mr. Blake has also invented a mode of dropping the heaviest anchor instantaneously, which must be most desirable when ships come suddenly into close action. - • a EWC•STLE-01q4rTNI, SIPT. 4.—The supply of w heat I from the farmer this meaning was again short: fine sample% nearly maintained the currency of last week, but the inferior sorts were lit. to 2s. per quarter cheaper. A parcel of new red wheat from Norfolk was sold to-day at his. per quarter, weighing elbe. per bushel, the quality, however, did not appear to us to be of the first order. The arrivals of rye during the week have been extensive, the =part of which is going to granary, the importers not feeling to pay the present high duty. For fine malt we have some enquiry, but anything beneath this descdpelon remains quite neglected. Beans and peas are about Is. per quarter Iwo; and the demand for each is slackening.—Country oats support their peke, but foreign are difficult to quit even ut s deelhse ed' 2s. per 'meta. The duty oa barley. pess, and beans, is severally IS. N. pa quarter lower. The weather during the week has been very unfavourable, and conse quently little minis has been made be harvest sparadses.
