His MAJESTY having named this day, to receive the LORD MAYOR and Corporation of London, the Sheriffs, Lord Mayor-elect, Recorder, and Aldermen, proceeded in State to St. James's Palace, where they were graciously re- ceived by his MAJESTY, who was pleased to accept the Address of his loyal Citizens; and appointed Lord Mayor's Day to dine at Guildhall. Despatches are this day received at the Colonial Office, from Sir H. TURNER, dated Bermuda, August 29th; and from Sir PEREGRINE MAITLAND, dated Halifax, Septem ber the 12th. At three o'clock this day, the expected steamers from Hol land had not arrived; and from the prevalence of westerly winds, they are not looked for till a late hour. No further intelligence has arrived from the Continent than we com municate to our readers in our subsequent columns, from the Morning Papers; and which do not, in fact, bring later news than we were enabled to present to our readers, in an abridged form, last night. The horrors said to have been perpetrated towards the people of Brussels, which we communicated to our Readers yesterday, in an extract from the Morning Chronicle, we are inclined to believe, with the majority of oar contempora ries, will be found very exaggerated, if not untrue. At the same time, it can hardly be supposed that a conflict similar to what has occurred in Brussels, could occur, without the perpetration of horrors of equal magnitude. It is truly a desperate act to turn military into a city, to combed its inhabitants ; and we are of opinion that this exertion d the skims ratio regum was, in the case of the Brussels in-' serrection, most imprudently made. If a similar act was proved by the result, to have been an imprudent act in Paris, it must have been still more so in Brussels ; and we cannot but mark the impartial justice of those Journalists who can apply the word atrocious, and others the strongest words in the English language, to the former—while they pass over the latter without even censure. We are far from wishing to apologise for the policy of CHA in Es X. and his Ministers; but we can imagine that they never contemplated the bloodshed that took place in Paris ; for military has been known to have effect in repressing popular com motion, even with very little actual employment, except as a species of intimidation. But the example of Paris ren dered the chances of its efficiency less probable in Brussels ; while the second failure of such an experiment was more fatal to the cause of the established Government, than any other circumstance could prove. We have too good an opinion of the King of the NETHERLANDS, to believe that he foresaw the opposition which he was to meet; but it is evident he was more culpably erroneous in judgment even than CHARLES. We observe an attempt to represent the malcpntents of Brussels as unimportant in number ; but it is evident, from the tumult uary uprising of the people, all over the Catholic provinces, that the discontent has been general. We really believe, that had more temprate mom . of checking the revolutionary spirit been pragesed, that he writ) led:the attack on Brussels, would have ... teen chosen by its population 'as their King; an airangenent, than which nothing Would have been more likely .to stop all the evils which. have subsequently,. or. which are AWL to take place ; bet . we doubt -now the possibility of his ever becoming Popular. • l it, - - nr-N • ~- --1, 1 1, ?.., , ""w4 — ' • ' _,, i ' 140 --. -4k .e. ~- •, ..

Military force, it may be said, as a general principle, is a bad mode of governing beings capable of reason; and although there are periods when its application in internal commo tion becomes essential, it cannot often occur. That a lawless mob must not, however, be allowed to destroy, without op position, the property, and endanger the lives of their more orderly fellow-citizens, just because we know the indivi duals composing it to be capable of reason, must not be maintained. In the year 1780,when a:lawless mob in London was permitted, day after day, to commit the grossest acts of outrage, there could be but one opinion, that the Government of that day were most culpably remiss in their duty. In deed it is pretty evident that the very origin of such a mob, was to be attributed to the imbecility of those in power. Military force could only have been necessary on that occa sion from there having been no early application of the civil; but the lawless mob once in existenoe, and in the perpetration of crime, no one could hesitate on employ ing even the military to repress it. The firing of military in a crowded city, if each " shot had its commission " to hit only the guilty individuals, would not be so very horrid and objectionable ; but, as the very reverse is true, and when the innocent have just as much chance of suffering as the guilty, the measure must be looked upon with horror.—The excellence of our own institutions are on this point, as on many others, to bo prized ; for the notice which, according to the laws of this country, must be given to a lawless assemblage, pre vious to firing upon them, does, as far as possible, provide against the evil of military employment; and by giving a serious notice of an approaching violence, is often seen to prove very efficient in preventing the necessity of its actual The subject upon which we have been venturing to remark is one of most serious import, and daily becomes more so. Those who feel meet sensible of the horrors sure to result from the employment of a military force, in civil commo tions ; and who appreciate most highly the blessings of a secure tranquillity, should know how to value the importance of having a judicious, yet vigorous Govern meat, to assert the supremacyiof the laws ; and, at the same time, to be always ready to aid in their improvement, and to redress the evils of their mel-administration. The people of this country should with all their hardships be thankful that, among the nations of Europe, they stand at present most exempt from the terrors of misgovernment, and the consequent terrors of internal commotion. By the Bermuda mail, we have Papers this morning from that island to the 22d August. The only information they convey is, that the Officers of the Customs had received orders to discontinue the collection of the duty of 71. per tun, heretofore levied on ail French wines, and to charge the duties imposed by Act 6th George IV. cap. 114, upon such wines in future. We have advices from Havanna this morning to tho end of August. Many developements of the late conspiracy had at length been brought before the public. One of the con spirators, named SOLES, who bad received a partial pardon from the Kum, being sentenced to only ten years exile, had disclosed all its mysteries, partisans, and purposes. The Military Commission, which bad taken cognizance of the offence, was advancing with the trials of the prisoners. Five hundred persons in Havanna were registered among the accused. Five bad been already sentenced to death, and several others to ten years laboar in chains at Ceuta. The conspiracy in its secrecy and plans partook of the masonic.. Tho title and istandard of the association was the Black Eagle. They issued diplomas to their confederates, and all who refused to adopt their principles and become conspirators, foreigners not excepted, were to be put to the sword, and their effects confiscated. Among the number were several citizens of wealth and con• sideration, and several European military officers, lawyers, notaries, &c. but by far the larger number in the plot, of important subordinate actors, were found in the humbler walks of life, such as barbers, butchers, boatmen, &c. New disclosures were every day making. We have late commercial advice. from Monte Video.— Flour, during the months of June and July, had undergone little variation in price. No importations of brown Cottons had , been made for some time ; but the price had not ma terially varied. Wines and spirits commanded a ready sale, and the supplies short. Sweet Malaga—there was none in the market, and 110 dollars per pipe could have been easily obtained. Windsor chairs were wanted, and were worth 26 to 60 dollars per dozen. Tar, Spirits, Turpentine, and Lin- I seed Oil, were also in request, and' a small quantity would do well. Provisions were only saleable in small quantities. Leaf tobacco, soap, and sperm candles, were in dull demand. The stock of Canton silks had been much reduced, and se veral articles were scarce and in demand, such as 7-quarter crape shawls, plain and embroidered colors, principally star let and sky-blue ; black sarsnets, Levantine', sergeß, and sa tins ; blue and white satins, 4-quarter cross-barred silk hand kerchiefs, camlets, and a few superior Chopp* &malls. The produce came in regularly, and there was a steady de mand. Ox and cow bides were 55 to 57 rs. per 401bs. ; Horse hides 14 to 15 each. Exchange on London, 37 to 37 i . Doubloons 221 each. Extract of a letter from Valparaiso :—" The present state of affairs in Chili by the latest news from the Interior, is, that Gen. TRETME has arrived at Acancaqua, with Gen. VARAL, the only chiefs who escaped at the Banks of the Monti, on the 17th April, and had rallied and mustered about 2,200 men, including militia ; but the presumption is that the country is lost, as the Pelecone, (or Tory,) party hate gained the day, they having the money, so that you ;nay say Chili is lost, at least, for a few years." The Lord Lieutenant is expected to visit Waterford on his way to Killarney. His Excellency slept on Friday night at Lord Wicklow's, and, after a short stay in this city, pro .ceeds to Curraghmore, the seat of the Marquis of Waterford, where he dines and remains for the night.—Waterford Chronicle. CITY, ILILF-PAST TWSLVZ O'CLOCK. Consols, which left off yesterday 861 to 87 for the Ac count, opened at 871 to 871, and went up to 871; at pre sent they are 871, with little doing. The speculators are waiting the arrival of the two steamers from Rotterdam, ex pected this day. . Up to the present hour we have no further political news; but in the high quarters it is positively asserted that the great powers will not interfere in tho affairs of Belgium, and particularly this country ; should any of them act, it will be to try to settle the business amicably. Spanish has been done at 20, at present it is 21. Halifax and Lisbon mails have arrived ; the former sailed 12th September, and the latter left 19th September. By the former, New Brunswick Papers to the sth Septem ber, and Prince Edward Island Papers to the Ist September, have been received at the North and South American Coffee hong°. From the New Brunswick Paper, Sept. 4. TRADE.-It is with pleasure we state, notwithstanding the many complaints of the dullness of trade, and scarcity of the circulating medium, there will be a greater number of large sized houses built in this town, this year, than any of the preceding years. The amount of imports and exports for the Midsummer quarter is greater, and the amount of duties paid during that period, both at the Customs and Treasury, far exceed the corresponding quarter of any pre vious year. The Halifax Royal Gazette contains :—Sir Peregrine Maitland's Proclamation; dissolving the House of Mimi bly of Nova Scotia. His Majesty's ship Blanche, arrived at Halifax in a wrecked and dismasted state, from Jamaica. The Prince Edward Island papers state, that the flag at the garrison was kept flying at half-mast for seven days, as a mark of respect to the memory of his late Majesty, and sixty minute guns were fired. LIVERPOOL, OCT. 4.—We have hod an unusually dull week in British Plantation Sugar, the sales amounting scarcely to 100 hhds. : prices remain as last quoted. The Public Sales of Coffee have gone off this week with spirit, at an advance on the Inferior ; good and fair ordinary kinds are at an advance of 2s. to 3s. per cwt. The de mand for Cotton in the early part of the week was brisk, and lower descriptions of American improved II of a penny per lb. Several , cargoes of Pino timber have arrived dur ing the week, and the demand from the country having, in some degree, fallen off, has caused the article to be rather dull. CITY, HALF-PdEr ONE. Consols, which were in the early part of tho day at 874, have dropped to 87 buyers. The speculators are still anxiously waiting the arrival of the steamers. In the Foreign Market, Spanish has receded this day about 2i to 3 per cent. supposed owing to the Spaniards having sent a large force to the frontiers, which will deter the few Constitutionalists on the frontier from entering Spain. Extract of a letter, dated Rotterdam, Oct. 2 :—" As to political affairs, they are in a most deplorable state. The separation of the two divisions of this unfortunate country has taken place de facto, whilst the States. General are sitting. They have also voted for it. But as the people have taken the law into their own hands, the Government is, in fact, dissolved, the troops disorganized, and by their consisting of the two parties, are, in fact, nothing. The people are turning out the gar risons of the frontier fortresses of the Allies, and they will come too late to save them. Yet some other nations must restore order in Wiwi. as the disorder is the consequence of the work of the Congress, and which they bound themselves to prevent. But they will now be tso late in acting up to their own treaties. It is a difficult matter enough for us, in our present crippled state, to defend our old frontiers, if the Belgians took it into their heads to attack us ; in which case the citi zens and the country people will be obliged to defend themselves. In one month our funds have fallen from (lb to 40 for per cents. and a new loan, effected at 90, of 3i per cent. is at 53. This will give an ides of the state of things." Ron Ror.—lt is a circumstance worthy mentioning in the life of this famous freebooter, though neither Sir W. Scott nor any 'other of his biographers hat ever alluded to it, that he was a sub scriber to Bishop Keith's voluminous " History of Scotland during the reign of Queen Mary," which appeared in the year 1734 Thee, in the midst of a long string of names, comprising all the jacobite gentry of Scotland, stands the terrible designation of " Robert Mee t= alias Rob Roy, looking quite as well as the best of them, how the book was to be transported to the outlaw of Balqaid der, or the money to be paid in return, it would be difficult even to =- lecture. We look upon this circumstance as a strange memorial of that admixture of the barbarous and the civilized which obtained in the Highlands immediately before the insurrection of 1745. The name of of Glengyikis also in the list, immediately above that of his r a r l i a ore cgre Jlated kinsman. The journeymen batters of the metropolis have had several me ,to consider the propriety of presenting the Queen with two tle; t s i Z s y-made beaver bonnets. The proposition having been most cordially adopted, it was thought advisable to communicate their inten. don to tile Robert Wilson, the Member for Southwark, who kindly un dertook to convey the wishes of the trade to her Majesty. Her Majesty, having been duly apprised of the disposition of the hatters, was gra. cloudy pleased to return for answer that she reluctantly declined re. ceiving the proposed present, lest she should be supposed to give offence to either the silk or straw-bonnet businesses by encou raging the trade of the hatter, to the detriment of the others. Her Ma jesty would, however, feel much pleasure in receiving from their hands a riding-hat, promising to wear it as a mark of their loyalty and esteem, while at the same time it would not be considered that she was patronis ing one branch of English manufacture to the injury of another. Her Majesty's intention having been communicated to the hatters, they have determined to comply with her Majesty's gracious request, and have de termined upon manufacturing a riding.hat of the very best quality and workmanship, the weight of which, including trimming, is not to exceed four ounces ! COMFORTS OF TAE PEOPLE.—On the publication of every quarter's revenue, if there be an increase in the income of the Excise, it is immediately set down as proof positive of a corresponding increase in the comforts of the people. This conclusion is more specious than solid ; because, in too many instances, when men meet with losses, disappointments, and sorrows, they add more to the revenues of the Excise than they did in the days of their prosperity and comfort. Dr. Cleland has a more satisfactory criterion of the increase and decrease of the general comfort—namely, the in crease or diminution in the consumption of butcher meat. When the office of Searcher was abolished by Act of Par liament, the doctor succeeded in keeping the same officer in the service of the Town Council, and it is a part of his busi ness to ascertain accurately the number of beeves, calves, sheep, lambs, and pigs, slaughtered in the city of Glasgow. This number is published annually, and generally contrasted with the results of two or three previous years; and, by re ference to these statements, it will be found that the results have been almost always according to the state of trade, and consequently, according to the ability of the people to pur chase that almost indispensable,article, butcher meat. Be sides being an invaluable piece of statistical information, this is obviously a better criterion for ascertaining the in crease or diminution of the general comfort than the revenue of. the Excise. Among other improvements, Bailie Morton was at great pains to organize a plan, by which this impor tant piece of statistical information for this city might be ob tained, and, for reasons that no person of ordinary capacity can divine, all his exertions were rendered abortive by the opposition of the incorporation of flashers. His time as Bailie of the markets, is now on the point of expiring; but it is to be hoped that his successor will be animated with the same' laudable zeal, and will overcome every difficulty. We beer that the proprietors of the Southern markets have it in con templation, to cause their superintendent to keep a mist., n of this kind, and this of itself will be highly important.— Scotsma• Till KING'S COURT. BRIGHTON, Oct. A Yesterday Colonel LYDON, Colonel JODDRELL, Colonel and Lady BERKELEY, and Lord and Lady Jell as BAY, had the honour of dining with their MAJESTIES and the Royal Suite, at the Pavilion.

His Majesty, attended by Sir Herbert Taylor, and Col. Fitzclarence, arrived at 20 minutes before five o'clock yesterday after noon, in an open carriage and four, at the Palace at St. James's, from his Palace at Brighton. A Cabinet Council was held at half-put three o'clock yesterday afteinoon, at the Foreign Office, which was attended by the Lord Chancellor, the Duke of Wellington, Earls Bathurst, Roselyn. and Aberdeen , Lord Ellenboniugh, Sir R obert Peel, Sir George Mur- M, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Mr. Henries. Viscount Mlville, the only member of the Cabinet absent, has not yet arrived from Scotland. The Ministers remained in deliberation till half.past six o'clock in the evening. The summonses for holding the Council were issued on Monday evening. Count Matoushevits, the Russian Minister, had a con ference with the Duke of Wellington yesterday at the Treasury. The Spanish Minister transacted business yesterday at the office of Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. The Duke of Wellington gave a grand dinner last even ing at Apeley.House Piccadilly, to the Austrian and French Ambas. salon, the Prussian and Russian Ministers, Lord and Lady Burghersh, Monsieur de Nieumann, and a select party of the Nobility and Gentry. The Lord Chancellor came to town yesterday from Brighton. The Prince Talleyrand, accompanied by his niece the Duchess of Dino, takes daily drives in a plain yellow coach, viewing the improvements which have taken place in and about the metropolis. On Saturday they were driven slowly along the Strand for that purpose. INTENDED INSPECTION ST HIS MAJESTY —His Ma jesty will shortly inspect the first battalion of the Coldstream Regiment of Foot Guards, now doing duty in Portman - street Barracks. in con. sequence of the above battalion being on duty in Dublin at the time his most gracious Majesty reviewed the different regiments of Guards, de Officers have not had the honour of kissing his Majesty's hand, and are the only officers in the household brigade who have not had that honour. The Duchess do Dino visited for the first time on Sun day and yesterday the ladies of the Cabinet Ministers and Foreign Am. bassadoes, and a great number of the Nobility now in town. The Marquis of Abercorn arrived in town on Saturday from a tour on the Continent. His Lordship left town yesterdar x r ie t: re ' Pricey, near Stanmore, the seat of his mother, the Countess of Aberdeen. The Marquis of Cleveland, it is said, has purchased Priam and Birmingham. For the former his Lordship is stated to have given Chitney 4,0001. The price paid for the winner of the St. Leger Is set down at 3,000 L Mr. Grattan, in his History of the Netherlands, states that one of the most violent factions which ever existed in any country, took place in Holland, on the ridiculous question of whether the codfish took the hook, or the hook the codfish. The new St. George's Hospital, at Hyde-park-corner, already presents a very imposing aspect. The grand from of 200 feet in length, which faces the Oreen.park, and has in its centre a vestibule 90 feet high, surmounted by lofty pilasters, and extending from the linightsbrWge.road to the entrance to Tatter sall'', is nearly completed. About 00 feet of the north wing (which will be eventually 190 feet long, and which stretches towards Knightsbridge) is also erected. The south wing, 102 feet in length, has been for some time finished, and occupied by patients, as is also the south end of the east front. The theatre for lectures on surgery and medicine, is well adapted for hearing, and will accommodate 150 students. Immediately adjoining it is the museum of anatomical preparations, which contains a small, but judiciously ranged, and carefully selected, assortment of the most rare cases in mid. wifery and surgery. The entire edifice (which is of three stories, and. from its contiguity to the parks, remarkably airy), is faced with com post, coloured, and chequered in imitation of stone. This Hospital. when complete, will contain 28 wards, and 400 beds. VAN HALEN.—The following anecdotes of Don Juan Van Halen,Commander.in.Chief of tbeßelgic insurgents,will not perhaps be unacceptable to your readers :—He entered the service of Spain, his native country, in the marine ; on the invasion of Bonaparte he was soon found in the imperial ranks, but whether the service was not profitable enough, or that the affairs of his country appeared to promise gems advantages, it is riot important to know ; he passed over to the national cause, with an assurance of his patriotism in the keys of Lerida. which he procured to be surrendered to the French garrison, on the faith of forged orders to that effect from Marshal Suchet, whose aide.de. camp be was. On the return of King Ferdinand he was thrown into the Inquislioaoba history of his sufferings in which he has since published in Lone& /demi by the active and devoted exertions of the freemasoes from the begs of the Dominicans, he effected his escape to Englard. where ha repined his work upon the Inquisition for the press.
