The intelligence hitherto received from Brussels, is so very imperfect, as to keep the public mind, as to the probable termination of the struggle there, in a state of considerable anxiety; for it must be evident on the termination of that struggle, the peace of Europe more depends, than on any other event now in uncertainty. The news of this morn ing, as far as it is derived ria France, contradicts the news before received through the same channel ; and the uncer tainty which exists as to the converse of tho present news, we think strongly to shake a credence in the authority of the former. Had the Royal Troops obtained a triumph, the promulgation of that intelligence throughout the Ne therlands, would have been too important, towards allaying any rebellious spirit that might be afloat in the other Pro vinces, not to have been disseminated with the utmost rapi dity. No such intelligence is correct ; but vague rumour alone occupies its place, which we deem a presumptive proof that the news, up to the last date of the letter from that part of the opposite coast, could not have been satisfac tory. This, we confess, only conjectures upon rumours ; but, perhaps, before our paper goes is press, some more accurate account may be received, and prove the fallacy of our reasoning. The purport of the express from Paris will be found in another part of our columns. It appears by the Lille tele_ graphic dispatch, that the town of Brussels was still only under a kind of siege, therefore in possession of the peo ple. Now, if there were any truth in our former intelli gence, that the Dutch troops were in possession of the more elevated parts of the town, we must presume that they have been compelled to withdraw entirely from it. Indeed, those who know the town of Brussels will find it difficult to be lieve, that the higher parts of that city should be long in possession of one party, while the lower was in possession of another. It is well known, that the site of the town is very irregular ; and such partial occupation of its divisions, might exist for an hour or two, in the course of such a conflict, but not for any permanence. The in telligence conveyed likewise by the French express, that the people in the provinces were arming to assist the people in Brussels ; and that a small band of auxiliaries from France, were on march to the scene of contest, we deem very im portant. Such a band, however small, would form a nu cleus which, marching through disturbed districts, would probably aggregate to a force of some influence on the event. The situation of Lille, being only one day's journey from Brussels or Ghent, very recent intelligence would be received there ; and the telegraphic dispatch may be considered of ficial. It is evident, therefore, on the Sunday, that Brussels was in the hands of the people. A report has been current, this morning, iu the City, that the Margate steamer to Ostend, had, on nearing that place, been warned off by a boat, which gave rise to apprehensions, that some public disturbance had oc curred there : and, while we are writing, we receive ac counts, confirming the apprehension to the fullest ex tent, by the arrival of the packet from Ostend, conveying the most important details of a popular movement in that town, which had been completely successful. The people, after a most severe conflict, and much loss of lives, had mastered the military. We have just perused a letter to a merchant in close connexion with Ostend, which states this news ; and adds that it is generally believed there, that every town in Brabant and Flanders is in a revolutionary state—all anxious to support their com patriots in Brussels. Another letter communicated to us states, that a regular lin , : of communication had been established between Ostend and Brussels. At Louvain severe fighting it was reported had taken place ; and the whole country might be said to be in possession of the patriotic or popular party. The steam-boat which brings this news, was obligedlo leave for safety ; and it brings likewise the report, that Prince FREDERICK had been killed-. 4 report which hadl reached us before by way of Paris; and therefore, we should fear, true. All this intelligence does but confirm the views we have long formed and often expressed, that the discontent in Bel gium is more deep rooted, and grounded in real grievances, than some of our contemporaries seem inclined to credit. We conceive the King of the NETHERLANDS has been as infatuated as CHARLES X. for thus engaging in a strug gle occasioning so much mischief as will probably result from it ; and which, gentle means, time, and real redress, would have, we think, prevented. The following news, received by the packet, will convey to our Readers almost all that is known in a small compass ; and fully confirms what we have gleaned in the above para graph from the other letters which we have seen, but which we had not the opportunity of transcribing. By the General Steam Navigation Company's boat, the Mountaineer, which left Ostend on Monday morning, private letters have been received, which give the most alarming intelligence from that quarter. On Sunday morning the Kilo's troops entered the town of Ostend; the populace immediately rase up in arms, and hoisted the national colours. A moat sanguinary conflict ensued, and a number of lives were lost7on both sides. The firing had not ceased when the steamer left, and the people were getting the upper hand of the soldiery; the most fatal results were ex pected, and the English were leaving as quick as the danger to which they were exposed would permit them. At Bruges a terrible firing began on the Saturday, and a number of persons were shot; however, the people succeeded in hoist ing the national colours, and there appeared a determination on their side, to resist the royal authority in all quarters., Intellgence had been received at Ostend on T u esday, th a t 800 1 1 of the King's troops had been killed, in attempting to enter Brussels, at the Porte do Flandre ; and that the city was COM- plitely besieged. Shells and Congreve rockets were firing in all directions ; and the people appeared determined to con test the ground inch by inch. Prince FR ED ea it was stated, had succeeded in obtaining possession of the Upper town; and the people had barric .doed themselves in a very strong manner in every one of the streets. Most alarming conjectures were afloat, as the spirit of revo lution was extending itself from one end of Flanders to the extremity of Holland. Other accounts have been received which lead to confirm the above information. It was with difficulty the steam boat got away from Ostend. At half-past two o'clock, and since writing the above, we have been furnished with further information, which leads to a confirmation of all that we have previously stated. We are now assured that the Dutch troops ware driven out of Brussels on Monday ; and that City was set fire to, in five or six different places, after the most desperate conflict. Liege is also in possession of the people—after having blown up the powder magazine ; and live or six hundred persons had lost their lives. Prince FREDERICK was wounded; and, most likely, is now dead. From all that we can gather from the passengers by the Ostend boat, in addition to our former accounts, it appears that the Dutch troops had been finally compelled to evacuate the upper town of Brussels, after severe fighting during the whole of Saturday ; and that Prince FREDERICK bad en trenched himself in the neighbourhood, for the purpose of awaiting reinforcements. The country behind him was in a state of complete insurrection, and on all sides bodies of armed men were moving about. It is said the Princew•as severely wounded in the arm on Saturday. By his order the communication with the coast, with Ostend, Liege, and the French frontier, had been again opened. On Saturday and Sunday some desperate fighting took place a Liege, and the explosion of a magazine by which it was reported 500 of the regular troops were destroyed, had the effect of placing the town in complete possession of the populace. Bruges had also it was reported been taken posses sion of after some severe fighting. The garrison of Ostend had been successful in putting down the people, after a desperate conflict, and on Sunday that place was in their possession. The people there, however, were rallying, and it was believed they would on the following day be compelled to evacuate the town, as a direct communication with Brussels was estab lished, and the exasperation of the people was extreme. Louvain had been a scene of bloodshed, and the country people all said to have expressed an equal antipathy with the townspeople to the rule of the Dutch. By the Hamburgh steam boat late accounts have been obtained from the Russian capital. They do not communi cate any confirmation to the statements made a few days back, that dissensions had broken out among the Russian army. The letters we have seen are wholly silent upon the subject of recognition of PHILIP of France, by the Emperor NICHOLAS. There was much activity displayed among the Ministers at St. Petersburgh, and dispatches arrived almost daily from Austria. We have accounts, this day, from Hungary, announ cing the arrival in Presburg, of the Emperor and Em press of AUSTRIA, accompanied by the Caown Parwcz, on the 13th instant. On the following day, his MAJESTY addressed a Latin speech, at the opening of the Diet. It is a pompous production ; but to-day we can only afford space for the following passage : " Seeking the splendour of his throne in the public wel fare, his wealth in the happiness of his people, and the vigor of his administration in the sanctity of the laws, he will be the protector and champion of your liberties and of the an cient constitution. The wish to secure some welfare against all the casualities of time, demands that we should consult with you on those subjects best calculated for the promotion of so salutary an object. We have there fore not only summoned the present Diet within the legal delay, but have also fixed and determined the day of the succeeding, in order that among other matters in faithful ob servance of the laws, to consult with our faithful states, in the way prescribed by those laws, on the subject of a subsidy of recruits." We have a file of Singapore papers to the 16th of May. They contain accounts from Malacca, which furnish the , particulars of a most treacherous and diabolical mamas of between four and five hundred individuals, in differences be tween the Chinese of the tin mines, and the Malays of the district, wherein the former were the sufferers. We have accounts from Monte Video to the beginning of July, which represent the country as tranOtil. A treaty had been ratified on the 11th of the preceeding month, be tween the Generals La v ELLEM and REVERA, by which the latter acknowledged the existing Government, and in con sequence his proscription was repealed. We have some further accounts from New South Wales this morning, which are of considerable interest. The fol lowing in an extract of a letter, dated Sydney, written by a resident there, and will be found useful to all persons willing to emigrate to that part of the world, the writer having pe culiar facilities for accurately knowing the real state of Australia. " Many writers have described this place either with bias or from interested motives; and there have been very few who have treated it with that justice it deserves, and which is so necessary to guide those who may be disposed to emi grate. I arrived at Hobart Town in safety, after a passage of eighteen weeks, glad to get a respite from the brutality of the Captain, and the rapacity of the crew. The first view of Van 'Diemen's, at a distance, is very gloomy ; but when we entered D'Entrecasteana's Channel, a suc cession of the most delightful scenery presented itself. It is interspersed with small islands covered with verdure. At one view you see nature in all her wildness, while the thick woods, composed of evergreens, look like a park at a dis tance. The passage of the channel is rather difficult, on ac count of the incorrectness of the charts. Fish is plentiful, and we were much rejoiced at receiving some potatoes and other vegetables from the Settlers. The former sur passed those of England. We arrived here at about eight P.M. and had but rather an indifferent view of the town ; but on the following morning from the deck I had never seen so splendid a sight as then presented itself: even the celebrated scenes of the Andes were nothing compared to this. Hobart Town is situated at the foot of an abrupt mountain, about 4,000 feet high, which was tipped with snow, and on this the tropical sun shone with splendour. The spire of the Church, the whiteness of the houses, and the clusters of trees which here and there are loft by choice or acci dent ; the gardens, and the general comfort prevailing, made me entertain a favourable idea of the place. The climate is very fine, and suitable to an English con stitution. It is rather warm in the middle of the day ; but, with that exception, preferable to any I have yet visited. The country aU through the Lamerstou is exceedingly rich. After remaining three weeks, I proceeded to Sydney. The harbour of Port Jackson is one of the most magni ficent in the world ; ships of the largest tonnage can go up to the very town, and it possesses many other advantages. The climate is very changeable. It is the decided opinion, any respectable industrious man would do well here at all times. Trade is very dull here and at Hobart-town: the markets are glutted with goods, and money is exceedingly scarce : 15 per cent is the common interest, but 20 to 25 per cent. is given, or very good bills at short dates. Living is very rea sonable. Rent is exorbitant, considering there are notaries. I consider it 150 per cent. higher than in London. which is more than equivolent to the cheapness of provisions. The merchants are turning their attention to the sperm whale fishery, which they expect will be lucrative. Vessels are fitting out and sailing every week or two, all on the same errand." CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Consols which left off yesterday at 881 for the account, opened at the same price ; since which the market has be come heavy, and Consols have been done at 87i : at pre sent they are 87i, with little doing. In the Foreign Market little or nothing doing as yet. LIVERPOOL, SEPT. 27.—The demand for British planta tion sugar has again been limited. The sales of the week were 450 hhde. and prices are reckoned lower. Coffee keeps steady; the sales of the week reached 230. Teas, chiefly Jamaica, at full prices. Cotton continues dull ; and the sales this week were only 7820 bags. Tobacco remains 'steady. We have had but few arrivals of pne timber this week; but the demand for the article has rather slackened during the put fortnight. CITY, lIALF-PAST ONE. The Consol market continues heavy ; Consols are 87j for the Account. In the Foreign Market scarce anything doing ; prices much the same as yesterday. We are all in the greatest anxiety in the City, owing to a number of reports circulation. The Attwood steamer is arrived from Rotterdam. It was also reported that the Romans was in the river from Ostend. At present we have the following accounts, that the people of Ostend bad risen on the garrison, which consisted of akout five hundred young recruits, and disarmed them ; also, that they were fighting at Bruges, and along the road to Brussels. Another account, that the Dutch troops had got the entire possession of Brussels on Saturday, but the people of Brussels having rallied again on Sunday, when a desperate fighting took place, and Brussels was on fire in several parts. These are the reports on Change at present ; but it ap. pears certain that there was some fighting at Ostend and Bruges; another report that the Prince of Orange was shot: but it will not be long before the true state of things will be known, as the Ostend steamer is expected hourly with all these reports. In Leipsic, u in Berlin, in order to maintain tranquillity, the armed p olice have been placed in non-activity. The con duct of the students of the University, throughout the whole course of the disturbances, is spoken of in terms of the highest praise. The Senate of Leipsic, it is said, have ma nifested a wish to recall certain of their concessions made in the hour of danger, and which they now represent to have been extorted from them.—Hambeirgh Reporter. Disorder is the order of the day. In Berlin the tailors have had a turn out, which in the State Gazette is repre sented to have been of a very harmless character. The Go vernment deemed it necessary, however, to issue a proclama tion, by which it was prohibited, that more than five persons should congregate together in the streets. At the same time, the poke-officer who arrested the journeymen tailors, and thereby led to the riot, has been discharged. In Vienna, Copenhagen, and Chemnitz, there have also been disturb ances.—lforriburgh Reporter. THE KING'S COURT. 4•1•••=1.11111. BRIGHTON, Sarr. 28. The dinner party at the Pavilion yesterday, exclusive of the Royal suite, consisted of Count KIELMANSIGOZ, Count EDWARD KIELMANSIOGE, Baron WANOINBEIN, and The Duke and Duchess of RICHMOND. The returns to the Palace last night were Colonel Fox, and Colonel GEOROE FITXCLARENCZ. This day, Lord JAMES HAY, Baron WA KGENHEIN, and Vice-Admiral DIGEY, had audiences of the KING.

ELECTION OF LORD MAYOR-( THIS DAY., This being Michaelmas day, the usual ceremonies were commenced this morning for choosing a Lord Mayor for the year en. suing. At about 11 o'clock the Lord Mayor, attended by the new Sheriffs and other Civic Officers, assembled in Guildhall ; and at 20 minute-4 to 12 went in procession to hear Divine Service, in the church of St. Lawrence, Jewry. Aldermen Sir P. Laurie, Fairbrother, and Winchester, were the only Aldermen prtsent. After an appropriate sermon had been deliwrid by the Lord Mayor's Chaplain, the procession returned to the Hall. The Junior Sheriff: equipages excited general attention. The liveries were also the subject of remark. Mr. Sheriff Poland's is of green cloth, thickly embroidered with most costly gold-lace. The breeches are white cassimere. Mr. Sheriff Marshall's is of chocolate.coloured ch th. also embroidered with rich gold.lace, and scarlet bretchts. The work. tuanship is exquisitely good. The names of Mr. Alderman Kay, Sir P. Laurie, Farebrot her, Win. cheater, and Copeland, were then nominated. The show of hands for Mr. Alderman Kay was exceedingly great. The Sheriff's decided the choice of the Livery had fallen on Alderman Kay and Alderman Cope. land. These names were retained to the Court cf Aldermen, who con. finned the election of Alderman Kay as Lord Mayor for the next year.
