FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. The whole of De!gium appears to be now in open re volt. Our readers will find under this head, ample accounts of the failure of the Dutch troops in their attempt on Brussels, and their retreat. The consequences of the attempt have been precisely what we anticipated. The King of the Netherlands was in a false position. Success would have been as ruinous to his interests as failure. All the ac counts, except those published at the Hague, concur in representing the Dutch troops to have been guilty of, great excesses. The English in Brussels have been great sufferers. The following letter is written under strong' excitement, caused by witnessing outrages at which huma nity revolts : ' Brussels, Sept. 28. " Si a—The details of the military proceedings of Prince! Frederick against the inhabitants of this town, who, after 60 days of unparalleled exertion end heroism, hare driven the Dutch invaders from their walls, and have thus saved the Belgic territory from all fear, in future, of Dutch oppression, will no doubt come to you through the ordinary channels; but I conceive it my duty to inform the public of England by your columns, how shamefully, how brutally the Dutch troops have treated the English here, in their attack upon the town. Even the Duch officers themselves have made a point of pillaging the English (whose names, and the circumstances, you shall have in full detail by the next post.) They have plundered and violated, and then slaughtered two very young English ladies! Everywhere they have hunted out the English to abuse and murder them: and in one instance, they, after killing the mother, bore the infant of an Englishwoman on a bayonet through their ranks I Such enormities as these should be made known throughout Europe. They have killed Lord Blantyre in his house. Such is the conduct of the brigands sent by his Dutch Majesty here to ensure the slavery of the Belgians, and whom, in Ms Proclama tion to the people of Brussels, the Prince Frederick—who, coward like, has slunk in the rear of his troop*, and has never appeared at their head—described as the friends and the brothers' of the Belgians ! Such are the favour, the friendship, the benignity of the sovereign power imposed on a free people by an assemblage of diplomatists. But the Dutch will quit the Belgic soil, never to return as masters ! Another lesson, this, for Sovereigns! We see it is all over with the King of the Netherlands in Belgium. THE HAGUE, SEPT. 28—The Second Chamber of the States. General assembled yesterday in a General Committee. We hear that the Central Section made its Report on the two questions contained in the Royal Message of the 13th of September last. It appears that there was a great diversity of opinions on this subject in the Sections. No decision was come to, 'and the discussion will be renewed to-day. It will be endeavoured to answer the ques tions proposed, so that the Government may learn the real opinion tithe States-General on the subject, in order then to take such mea sures as may be judged the best calculated to attain the end in view.— In the General Committee of to-day it was resolved, after a very long debate, that the two questions contained In the Royal Message of the 13th September, should be answered positively, and without any re serve. This evening at six o'clock, the Chamber will again assemble In a General Committee, to determine the answer to be given to the two (locations. The position in which the Royal troops had been In at Belli eds for some days, sufficiently indicated, that notwithstanding the great brewery which they displayed, it would be difficult for them to maintain themselves there, without great sacrifices, and without incurring very great danger. It was therefore expected that they would shortly re treat, as they have done, according to the following official accounts, published to-day in an extraordinary Stoats Courant r_ His Majesty has received accounts from the head-quarters kis Royal Highness Prince Frederick of the Netherlands, to the following effect: — The troops who, as stated in preceding reports, bad made themselves masters of part of the upper town (the Park, the Palaces, the Hettose.straat, Duke-street, and some of the adjoining streets,) after having maintained themselves in their positions with distinguished bra very ever since Thursday, were attacked on the 26th September in ;the evening, by a body of insurgents, who at the same time set fire to the States-General, as they had before done to the Palace of the States- General In consequence of this, it was necessary to evacuate the Palace, so that the defence was confined to the Hettoss-stmat, in a posi. tioa extremely dangerous to the troops; for which reason, it was re solved to leave the city for the present to Its fate. The troops marched out at night in the best order, and without interrupted. The Prince Is in good health, and the heed-quarters ham, where the troops have taken a position." Here follow the names of officers killed, wounded, and taken pri soners. Killed-1 Major, I Lieutenant. Prisoners - 2 Lieutenant. Colonels, 1 Major, 1 Captain, 2 Lieutenants. Wounded—l lAeute. aunt-Colonel, 1 Major, 10 Captains, 10 Lieutenants. With respect to the Lumber of killed and vomited soldiers, no accurate lists have yet been received. From the reports, it seems that it may be reckoned at five or six hundred, of whom 278 wounded had arrived at Antwerp yesterday. The reports current here respecting the lose of the 9th Division are very exaggerated: According to a letter written by an officer of that Di vision, on the 26th of September, the number of killed is six, and that of the wounded is seventy-two. We hear that a body of 600 value teen, that were coming from Louvain to the aid of Brussels, was met by &division of the troops, under Lieutenant-General Core and the greater part cut to pieces and made priamers.—[Here follows the account, which we gave, of the fermentation at Bruges, up to Sun. day morning.]. At t and Antwerp also, according to the latest accounts, there was great fermentation, and fears were entertained in the first city, that the populace would proceed to excesses. In order to tran quillise the people at Antwerp, who had been Inflamed by all Mods of reports the City Magistrates had, on Sunday last, at the instance of General Chasm, issued a notice positive contradicting the report th at Brussels had been set on fi re, and de claring that it was an absolute falsehood that Brussels was to be up to the troops to plunder for two hours; and adding, that if the City of Brussels had not already been laid in ashes, this was solely to be ascribed to the noble character and the humanity of his Royal Highness Prince Frederick. The report that Brussels was to be pillaged has been spread in the city and the adjacent country, for the purpose of inflaming people's minds, and inducing them to rebellion. The situation of 'Helloes is also very aides'. According to a letter dated yesterday, persons had been busy for three days in ex. citing the populace to riot; and attempts had been made to disarm the troops. With this view liquor and money are daily distri buted among the people. The troops remain day and night under arms. It is also affirmed that there have been great riots at Tirlement. It is said the Burgomaster of that place has been murdered in the most shocking manner. The accounts from Liege are very me. 'unholy. The populace are complete masters, and perfect anarchy pus. rails. Mr. Sandberg, the Governor of the province, left the city en Sunday last, and a Provincial Commission has been appointed, consist.

IMPORTANT SPANISH NEWS. The following article from Madrid would be important if Ive could rely on its correctness. To convoke the Cortes, would show in Ferdinand a marvellous advance in his politi (•4l education within the last two months : but would the Cortes again trust him ? MADRID, SEPT. 13.—We hear a great deal in our political circles .t a Proclamation, which the King himself is to address to the Spanish Nation, to advise it not to listen to the perfidious suggestions or some ambitious individuals, who, under the pretext of patriotism, only de ire to disturb the State to overthrow the throne and religion. In this document his Majesty will remind the people of the constant whites which he has txpressed for the happiness of the Spanish nation, and which are announced in his Royal Dear* of May 4, 18141 at the time ~t• hi s return f rom his captivity in France ; in his Act of 6th Much, 11;20, the day More be was obliged to take the oath to the Coo- Nutution of the Cones; and in his Proclamation of 30th Septa's bey, 1813, on his leaving Cadia. The King will add, that if be has net yet given institutions suited to the wants of his people, the delay is not to be ascribed to his will but to the difficult efrometiekes which have' mcceeded each other, and which, happily for %win, Iwo ended to the - , (ivantage of the Throne. In consequence and in order boonrobly to the epoch of the birth of, as we besoM the rinse of St. Ferdinand. a circumstance which must give aikatienel unfelt) to the nonescity, his Majesty, after having oossobei hie Lapse Allies taken the prudent advice of his Co-- — allaw, will etwiewiel klf with the nation, represented by Deputise who will be unyoked order to make themselves acquainted with the iestitodeas edible the ` t own shall think fit to grant to its subjects. rhe following circumstance has, probly, hastened this resolution s It is affirmed that our Sovereign has received a letter from his s duns, the Queen of the French, conceiv e d i n t h e moat tender and 't il uaate tams, and in which, while d e pl or i ng t h e eauses which have beam !‘b l e fir a moment to disturb the repose of Europe (for our events, Jaye Ito Majesty, interest the whole world ;) she advises ha niece to use her tattenee with her husband to induce him to take a prudent resolution, Intl to grant iastitutiona analagous to the wants and viable of Spain. This letter must produce:a good effect , and the more so, *sour young Queen desires to gain more and more the gearts of Spaniards by thus putting an eud to the misfortunes of those who are proscribed for pobticalopi nions. In the Palace, and especially in the apartments of the Duchess of Beira, a great deal is said of a projected marriage between the Duke of Nemours and Donna Maria da Gloria, Queen of Portugal : our ab solutists expect from this affair the fall of Don Miguel, as this plan in terests France, and Austria, which has opposed the recognition of the Infant as King of Portugal, and supports the legitimate rights of the Emperor's grand-daughter. Some time back this marriage was spoken of as well as that of the Emperor of Brazil, Donna Maria's father, with the eldest daughter of the Duke of Orleans, sister to the Duke de Nemours. But the intrigues of the Apostolic party interposed, and Charles 7L refused his consent. As this obstacle no longer exists, there is now nothing to hinder union, so important to the tranquillity and happiness of the Peninsula. Tour.ox, SEPT. 21.—Letters from Alexandria, in Piedmont, say that the greatest fermentation prevails in all Lombardy, and several little:villages have given the signal of insurrection. This little rising, we are assured, was quelled on the arrival of some troops who were sent to the spot; but all this only preserves apparent tranquillity, and the slightest pretext will suffice to make such events more general. The new French Charter, which, contains all possible elements of order and liberty, will soon become the political compact of all the nations of Europe. We have just received by express the whole of the Paris Pares dated Wednesday, together with a letter from our Private Cones. pondent, dated September 29. The managm to conduct the impeach ment of the Er-Ministers, on the part of the Chamber of Deputies, are said to be M. Berenger, Madier de Montjau, and Persil. PARIS, Saes. 29.—Since my last letter the strength of the Ministry, for some time stationary, has gained a little force, which is merely apparent, and can be but momentary. For the purpose of increasing the fears which popular societies in France have excited, and for which the revolution has been censured as a cruel abuse of their power. M. Gui. sot has magnified the terry and made use of it ass means to restrain the ardour ;of those at present impatient of delay. However, under the fire of which he made such parade in the Chamber, and the power of which he vaunted, he has succeeded in conciliating some opponents, He has given up some of his pretensions for the purpose of disarming Messrs. Bernard and Odillon-t. The Ministry, however, will disarm no one ; and they will go on for some days, till new difficulties raise new obstacles to the ma r ch of a Cabinet, whose existence cannot be counted upon unless it becomes more com pact. The turn which affairs in Belgium have taken would materially embarrass the Ministry if they were not already more than sufficiently occupied by the internal state of the country. The insurrection has taken a frightful turn. All the peasants are in arms ! The King of the Low Countries will no longer be able to retain his authority by se verities, which only the more alienate his subjects from him. Her union with Holland was impossible before the attack on Brussels. Since the massacre of the people by the army under Prince Frederick, the preser vation of the dynasty itself becomes even doubtful. Already they speak of the intervention of Prussia; but, when this shall take place, the honour and safety of France will not allow her to be an unconcerned spec. tator. But why speak thus ? At the present moment she is not an uncon cerned spectator notwithstanding the circulaspecdon of her Govern. went. The French people can no longer see with cold blood the mas sacre of the Belgians. The youth of Paris are daily enrolling them. ,elves, and set off for Belgium without any ceremony. Paris is in a great measure peopled by Belgians who had been Frenchmen for 25 years. Recollections, affection, hijury, and national pride, all com bine to make the cause of the Belgians popular in France. Yesterday a great number of young men from Brussels arrived here for the purpose of purchasing arms and ammunition. Quantities of these warlike stores have been already sent off, and others are in preparation. Le Temps, a Journal whose patriotism equals its dignity and its sense of job- See, has not hesitated to lead the way in openhig a subscription in behalf of the patriots engaged in the contest with the Dutch. 7 question is, what course will Government take? This adz aleentlynt vides the Cabinet. The partisans of Charles X. become emboldened by the generosity and moderation of the nation, are foolish and criminal enough to make new attempts to disturb our One of my friends, arrived yesterday from La Vendee, tells me re tra s t e. the priests and the old emigrants are endeavouring to excite the population. It appears that arms are distributed, and the people arm themselves to become anew the victims of their fury. There are districts in that w of the country where people are not allowed to enter the vil lages without permission from the Chaouans. At the moment I am writing, it is probable that there is some movement on the put of the Spaniards on the frontiers of France." The Afonitsur contains, amongst other ordinances, one granting an amnesty from all the consequences of offences against the simple police committee prior to the 27th of July, 1830, but without rests. laden of fines by the Treasury. M. Guises, in 'an official letter, 'worsted to the King that the Intentions of the former Govan. mat with respect to the decorations of the Chamber of Deputies ba sashed into effect immediately, and the subjects which he ro- MIIIIIMInde are three : Ist, Losis-Phillippe's taking the oaths in the romance of the Chambers on the Sib of August ; 9d, Mbrabeau r e rettem " h o e nice , nam e 1 n fh he sitting eii :i f t* rb t A 23ror I ," ell. 7:27 3a ant al :r Boisep.trAnglas saluting the of the Dequty Feraud, when it was presented to him by the insurgents of the Prairial.

LZIPSIC., SEPT. 16.—Ifesteeday the proclamation splayed by which the King made it known, that Prince Frederic had been named Co-Regent of the kingdom, and that Prince Maximilian, his father, bad, in favour of his son, renounced his right of succession to the throne. This news has crate d the most agreeable sensation. Prince Frederick is generally loved foe his tolerance,his affitbility, and his en. lightened views. Preparations were immediately made for illuminating the. city. Towards five o'clock in the evening a new publication was posted up, by which the Commission declared that the police was estab. listed under the best regulations. The Students were invited to lay aside their arms, and it was made known to them that they wouldhence. forth be under the regulation of the police. There was little doubt that this resolution would cause a fresh breach of tranquillity. The students quitted the posts where they were on guard, tore down the bills, and re; paired, to the number of 3 or 400, before the house of the royal cons missioners, Messrs. Carlowitz and Meissner ; six of them presented themselves as Deputies, and made complaints to these gentlemen. The Commissioners then drew up a new publication, by which they revoked the former articles, and entreated the students to continue to carry arms. The city was again tranquilized. The illumination passed off without the least disturbance. The students patrolled the streets, shouting Views in honour of the co-Regent and Saxon troops. These demon. stradons continued till midnight. Putts, SEPT. 28.—We are assured that the Chamber entertains the idea of adjourning immediately, in order to afford to a great number of its members the means of preparing for their re-election. We are assured that the Commission charged with the duty of prosecuting, before the Chamber of Peers, the accusation against the Ex-Ministers, will be composed of Messrs. Berenger, Madier de Montjan, and Persil ; how.' ever, there is some doubt as to whether the latter gentleman or M. Me nem will undertake the duty. The Municipal Guards, of which a part is not yet in uniform, does du under the galleries of the Petals Royale, and at the post of Chateau d' &u. From Le ConstitutionneL—At but we have received, today, the Brussels Papers, and under the news from the Low Countries may, be seen the march of events; but, independently of the details which i the Journals furnish, we have received others, of which the follow. nag is the continuation :—The Belgic revolution is now general; the inhabitants of the country are in arms, and march against the Dutch. At Brussels, the people conducted themselves with heroism. As at Paris, they bad no Chief, and enthusiasm did all. On the 24th, the troops, masters of different important points, did not dare to en gage in the streets; barricades intercepted the communications; every one acted en braille s. A Dutch corps, consisting of five or six hundred men, was surrounded and destroyed. About a hundred grenadiers took refuge in a large building, and there defended them. selves bravely. The people set fire to it, and the greater part perished in the flames ! The Belgic soldiers quitted the Dutch party, and afforded great succour to their compatriots. The women and children contributed to the victory; the former had stones for arms, the latter cut the girths of the hones of the Dutch cavalry. The Dutch troops committed un heard.of atrocities. The Liegoia who were at Brussels also fought with rest intrepidity, and were admirably seconded by the workmen. St. Poi (Gironde), of which the population is half Catholic, half Protestant, was some days since in great agitation. The fanatics, forced on by the Jesuits, were opposed to the hoisting of the tri-coloured flag upon the steeples. In 1815 a National Guard, formed by M. de la Sallee, re. caved arms, and still retained them. This part of the population wished to give the law anew. It prevented the organization of * Chian Guard, and disquieted the peaceful inhabitants by sedition' ales of "Viva Charles X.—down with Louis-Philip I l" and by hoisting the white flag An express having been sent by the Mayor to the Sub-Prefect, that officer decided that the National Guards of Libourne should repair to the spot 400 National Guards were chosen, and a down cartridges given to each. The cannoneer, accompanied them with a piece of artillery. At half-past it they marched on St. Foi. At Castilian they were joined by 500 No. dotal Guards, commanded by the brave General Queyssee. Tbs . , so. rived at St. Fel, singing the Parisian, and took possession of al is puts. After having communicated -with the authorities, a peodmin. don was issued, ordering every inhabitant to deposit, within four Ism% aD acme at the Hotel otthe Mayoralty. In an hour all the arms woo given up, and the chiefs of these undisciplined bands were the first to make tbdr submission. Two or three of them were delivered up ne justice. A true National Guard was immediately organised. On tbe 24th it named its officers, hoisted the tricoloured Rag M tMLublie edifices, and guaranteed the maintenance of the publit At haltpast five o'clock the post of the National Goa ibe 11th arreodissemest seised, in the Rue de Canivet, a bale of and two heavy chests full of cartridges.

On leaving the King, the Baron was presented to the Queen, and to the Princes and Princesses of the Royal Family. Front the Courier Francais.—lt is necessary that the government should turn its attention to a fact which is generally noised abroad. It L stated for certain that Charles X. has directed his friends not to give up their situations and take the oath to Philip I. for the purpose of re serving their influence in favour of the Duke of Bordeaux. It is added that the Charlitts (Carlistes) who have some remorse of con science, have demanded a consultation of theologians on the nature of the oath, and that the =ewer was, that the oath would bind them only so long ss any act in which they were required to con cur should not be in direct opposition to legitimate power. Is it not true that, after the consultation, the oath was taken by these rune. tionaries. and that that they will act at the elections in favour of Charles X ? Is it not true also that a correspondence is organised between the ex-King and his friends of the interior, and that their avowed object is to have their Duke of Bordeaux restored to them. If these facts are true, it behoves the government to put an end to a state of things which amounts to an organised conspiracy. This morning a patty of anti lay of the National Guard proceeded to Vincennes, to receive six pieces of cannon which have been sent for its use. The Duke of Orleans was among the number of artillerymen who took part on this occasion. On their arrival at the village they felt a keen ap petite, and several young men wished to stay to breakfast. His Royal Highness desired to make one of the party, and immediately sat down to table. The repast was short and frugal. Immediately after wards the pieces of cannon were put in motion, and sent on towards Paris. Ile defiled in good order on the Boulevards, preceded and ac companied by a great concourse of persons, who admired the good order observed by this unexpected body. In this order they proceeded to the former barracks of theCent-Suisses, Rue Nueve de Luxembourg, a place appropriated to the exercise of the artillery. When the Prince set out he was recognised by the spectators standing before the gate ; and the crowd soon increased to such a degree as to intercept his pro. great. He was therefore obliged to get into a house, in the street Du Sebot, to escape from the public acclamations and impatient af. fection. In the course of an hour afterwards, a carriage came to take him away. CARL/HURL SEPT.IG.—The peace of the dty was disturbed on the night of the 16th .nd 17th. Some young person . had maltreated a num. ber of Jews, which it was thought the police might have prevented. The Director of the Police has, in consequence, been dismissed. Front Me Quotidiemse.—The Constitutional Society, in its sitting of yesterday, appointed a Commission to encourage volunteers for Bel , gium. This Commission has for its object to direct to Brussels the workmen collected in the Champs Elysees. Today two members of the Society of Friends have had an audience of Louis Philippe, on the sub ject of the Society. Front the NaiionaL—lt is said that the Chamber will be assolved speedily, for the purpose of affording the Members time to prepare for the election.

N. Gaetan de la Rochefaucauld wished to know if the articles 91, 109, 110, 123, and 12b of the Penal Code, are really applicable to the four Guides of accusation against the Ministers ? The Speaker said that he found himself obliged to apply this question to the Chamber, beerier the paragraph of the report of the commission of accusation, c6boerning the application of the above articles, had not been read by the President. M. Lafiue maintained that he bad read the penstiph, and that the Chamber had discussed it, but had not adopted it.' -However the President said, that if the Chamber thought proper, the discu ssion should still be open.

Why does the Government, armed as it is with the 2101 article, wait for the decision of the tribunals P Why does it not require the immediate dissolution of all those societies that ambition more than any thing else has given rise to amongst us ?

Gentlemen, such is the cause of the loss of all confidence and the scarcity' of money. The continual presence of the principle of disorder, and the weakness of the administration, is an insurmountable barrier to all confidence. By voting the 60,000.000 you might show our commerce that the actual clubs are not like those of the revolution, and perhaps you would put an end to the present panic, but you would I not be useful to commerce in general. BRIEF DIPLOMATIC REVIEW.

Of course those who, in the exercise of their functions, might find themselves so placed in contact with the Austrian Govern ment as to resist its influence or prejudice its interests. We eseamenced by nominating. as Ambassador at Vienna, Marshal the Doke of .Dahnatis t and in default of him we nominated the Marquis Ri Ithaison. created a Marshal on account of having, in concert with Ikea* contended against Austrian interests in the Levant—the penes who conducted Charles X. to the frontier--a very ho employment, doubtless, hut not well adapted to procure him a media welcome with the Emperor of Austria or Prince Metternich.

The French Go. vernment, of court, has no concern with these proceedings of i;:dependero volunteers. We may add, that intelligence has boen rtcetecd of com mittees having been established both at Paul o2ui Lyons, for the purpose of assisting, equipping, and !orwardlog oo their j gurney to the frontier, the Spanish exiles, who Ar.: flocking itlin oh quarters, and are generally destitute of oecuniary means. Post.—The King of the Netherlands steam boa.. ;:oz., Re Acrdasn. reached the Custom House shortly after six o'clock !list eight. having lon board many passengers. The accounts by ikr s ate that 11. e people of Brussels sallied out and completely cut to pieces :lie ativanc.ti euard of the King's mops. The information front tile L...d.quarterN of the Dutch army was to the effect that the Prince was in a state of nit.: h un certainty as to what course he should adopt. lie had sent d.••, it:hes to the Hague and to Liege for succours. but bad obtal:mt porrpiy. The whole of the Pays Bas was in a state of increased exci•enient ; a : :,..eral levy was talked of, and was expected to be carried int i execution tame. dlately. A cosident feeling eziouoi among the litigious that thy u utile' prevail. There were statements in circulation derived front th • H ..:ue,t not the King of the Netherlands was about to rail for the moisten:. or di,: other Powers of Europe to maintain bier authority in Belgium, atrorcl ing to the existing Treaties for that purpose. At the Hague Ow tii . .,o-t consternation existed an consequence of the defeat of the Hut.h tr top.. There were no disturbances at Rotterdam, neither was it known I..i.re Tete r that any public manifestations in op Ilion to the tinvernrnevt kid been made at Ghent. It was at Itotterdani that in Inc spore of one or two days the whole o the Pays Bas would be up to :errit. spinet the Dutch troops. The utmost difficulty was experier,tl I , y the British residents and others to get away from Belgium. CHROMICLZ.—We cannot iwing ourselves to believe thst them is any truth in the report alluded to in some of the French Papers. a,. i which is general in Paris, that the Great Powers as they ar calkti. have communicated to the Irene., Government their intention to n. terfere in the affairs of the Netherlands. These Powers know s,_:f ficiently well, tnat it is not in the power of the French Governme , ./ to avoid hostilities, should a single foreigner enter Belgium. know, moreover, that they are no longer, as In 1814 and 131.1, strong from the support of the people of Europe. The pcoply everywhere would now oppose their Governments, where they to at tempt to involve them in war ; and, moreover, It is not even o:r -lain that their regular armies would in all cases support them. Who are the Great Powers—England?—We believe the Duke of Welling ton possesses too much good sense to commit the country In any war on account of any squabble between the King of the Netherlands and his quondam Belgian subjects. Prussia ? Prussia has not a large dispo sable army, though a very large militia; but Prussia is a power emit- Rally_ dependent on public opinion. Then are too many cl eve r men a b out the Ring of Prussia to allow us to fear his embarking in a war which would plan his Rhenish provinces in the utmost jeopardy. Austria? with Italy and her financial difficulties ? We cannot think so in of Metternich. Russia ? This power was very well in the hands of Sir R. Wilson, who works wonders on paper as a bugbear of the first order. But people have found out that a population does not increase in power as it extends its territory. Some wise man would in such a ease be for making the whole world one Empire. Twenty millions of men occupy - ing a hundrend thousand square miles, are more powerful for purposes of attack than sixty millions scattered over millions of square miles. Russia cannot move into the West of Europe an army of 160,000 men, without subsidies. Besides the Russian Emperor has not forgown what happened to the last Russian troops that visited this pan of Eu • rope. Alexander duns not trust them, and the regiments were broken up on crossing the frontiers, and incorporated with the rest of the regiments at home. It cannot be that the Great Powers will be so foolish. If they so far forget themselves as to become guilty of so wanton an attack on the people of Belgium, they will lament their crime in sackcloth and ashes. Thi nations impatient at being sacrificed to the caprice of Rulers, may forget to emulate the French in their magnanimity. The first Wag who draws the sword In a war of aggression should be hurled front Me ifs& The nations can have no interest in waning 'pant each ease; sod with respect to a psrdadse nation, let subjects and Rulers ads Millirem& as they best can. There must be no solemn leagues and secants amongst Kings to assist each other. THE KING'S COURT. BRIGHTON, Bart. 30.
