It is thought necessary to announce that the Athenaeum has been, since June, in the hands of New Proprietors, and under a New Editor, and is an attempt to establish 6 6 A Literary Paper" independent of the great Publishers. The Proprietors are unwilling to speak of the result of their exertions, but may, without indelicacy, refer to the OPINIONS OF THE PUBLIC PRESS. " To the Literati, and indeed to the public generally, the appear ance of a paper devoted to literature, science, and the arts, con, ducted on liberal and independent principles, and untrammelled by any direct connexion with the book trade, has long been a most im• portant desideratum. Entertaining, as we do, a very high opinion of the talent and judgment by which the periodical publications, here. tofore exclusively dedicated to such purposes, have been conducted, it would be absurd to expect that the interests of the avowed pro prietors of such works should not, in a very peculiar degree, affect the tone and spirit of their criticisms - and it would be as vain in us to expect impartial and unbiassed opin ions from them, u it would be hypocritical in them to affect an air of independence and indifference to the fate of works, in which their own properties may be involved, and, at all events, their own credit with the public at stake. We,' therefore, hail with pleasure the improved appearance of the Athe neum—a Journal which, whilst it is free from all such objections, brings with it the high and powerful recommendation of genuine ta lent and uncompromising principle. Established solely upon grounds of public utility, this Paper depends for public support upon the in tegrity by which it is characterized—its perfect independence of all ' professional patronage," and the conscientious discharge of its cen sorial functions. As far as the labours of its present Conductors have gone, we are bound to say that they have meat faithfully fulfilled every pledge by which they claimed the patronage of the literary world. Their critical opinions are pronounced with firmness and with fairness; boldly, impartially, but not arrogantly, or with any haughty assumptions of superior endowment. Their original articles are to. variably of the most interesting nature, and their miscellaneous infor- 1 mation varied, instructive, and antusing."—Cheltenbam Journal,. September 8. " The Atheneum is a weekly periodical of decided merit, and dis tinguished for the vigour and impartiality of its tone and criticism; its intrinsic merits, added to the independent stand it has taken amongst the periodicals of the day, entitle it to extensive patronage. — It is conducted with much ability, both as to matter and arrangement.

That honest an d spirited publication, the Atheneum."—Slieffieffi Courant, Oct. 13. 1 , " We have noticed with a feeling of great satisfaction the independ ence by which the Athenaeum is marked, and the efforts which are made by its spirited conductors to render literary criticism something approaching what it ought to be. It is well known that most of the critical journals are in the hands of the principal publishers, who are thus enabled to put forth as independent criticism exactly what may suit their purposes, and promote the sale of their works. It is with reference to this fact that we regard with pleasure the publication of a journal which is in reality what others profess to be. The Athe neum is undeniably independent, and unconnected with any parties which might improperly influence its critiques on new works. Its ed. ticism is in a liberal but truly impartial spirit, without any tenderness towards, the author, and certainly none towards the publisher, of any work whatever. The review of Galt's ' Life of Lord Byron,' in the last and previous number, will fully prove the justice of our praise. We have seen as yet no review of that work informing the public, as in reality is the case, that the work is but a poor one, malgre the puff ing it has had—contains false views of I.ord Byron); moral and poetical character, and is besides written in a style oftentimess exceedingly faulty and absurd. The critique of the Atheneum oa the work is acute and just to the public. In the department of original and amusing articie4 it Will be found at least equal to any or its rivals, and we have great pleasure in recommending it to the patronage of the literary pub tic."—ltuty and Suffolk Herald, Sept. 22. ▪ It is but justice to an independent and talented Journal us say, that we have seen, since writing the above (notice to Galt's Byron) a manly and sensible review of Halt's work, and sonic important contri butions to the history of its publication, in the Atliciaeum."—Edin. burgh Literary Journal, Sept. 11. • A series of interesiing and curious letters on Demonology and Witchcraft,' by Sir W.

Such expectations, however just, are far from being realized ; the system of puffing has grown to an alarming extent, and these is scarcely a periodical extant that is not notoriously swayed from its duty. In such a state of thing., so inju rious to the cause of literature, an exception to the rule is worthy of praise and support. We are pleased to find an exception—we have found it in The Atheneum.

NARRITIVR OF EVENTA T BRUiSMS. PRICE 71). BY A LADY OF RANiZ• The following interesting narrative of the sufferings and escape of an English party who were sojourning at the Helte-Vac Hotel, in I Brume's, when the late sanguinary struggle at that city took place, is ' from the pen of one of the ladies who so unexpectedly found themselves involved in the midst of scenes the bare description of which must ' strike the female bosom with terror. It will at once b: perceived that the names of the heroines are not unknown in the circlai of rank and I fashion :—Of all the cities on the Continent Brussels, perhaps, has been the most favourite resort of the English since the conclusion of the war in 1015, a circumstance which may be easily and satisfactorily cc. counted for, whether we consider its vicinity to the scene of the short, though brilliant and eventful campaign of that year, the good. will which the inhabitants have ever shown towards us, or the beauty and salubrity of the place, its handsome streets and palaces, Its park, with avenues and vistas, disclosing to the eye at their terminations a pleasing and uniform style of architecture, rendered still more striking from the contrasts afforded by the vivid green of a foliage disposed and ar. ranged with the beat taste and the most picturesque effect. Alas, fair Brussels ! Can it be that the abettors of oppression, and the' enemies of rational liberty and the just nights of man, styling themselves the fellow countrymen of thy brave and generous sons, have dared to deface thy beauty, and to inflict upon thy children cruelties and horrors which none but savages or fiends could con template ! Shame, shame ! and eternal disgrace be upon them But thy revenge s been sweet, and thy triumph nobly achieved. It is not my intention to enter into a detail of the glorious struggle for the independence of Belgium, which took place at Brussels on the 23d, 24th, 25th, and 26th of Sep tember, the main features of which are now well known ; but having been an eye-witness of the suf ferings and miraculous escape of some English families then residing at the Hotel de Belle-Vue (oue of the principal points against which the Dutch troops directed their attack,) I shad endeavour to interest the reader by a recital of them. When the King's troops commenced their assault upon Brussels, on the morning of the 23d, the English in the Hotel de Belle-Vue consisted of Lady C—s B—nt—ck (niece to the Duke of W--11,) and her two daughters, the eldest aged 13; Mr. and Mrs. G. H. I)__m—d; Mrs. and Miss W-I—y, a very interest. ing young lady ; Captains D— and S--n anti their servants. The cannonading had scarcely commenced, near the Schaerbeck gate, when Captains D— and S—n hurried to the Boulevards behind the Pa. lace of the Prince of Orange, to observe, if possible, the advance of the troops, and to see a nine.poundcr, belonging to the Burghers, pointed and served. In a few minutes, however, they heard the grape shot rattling among the trees over their heads, which induced them to return to the hotel; when, just as they were turning the corner of the house, a shell burst within a few yards of them. This sufficed to show that on the part of the troops the most hostile disposition had been fully determined on. Shells and grape shot were thrown in abundance towards the Place Royale. Front the hotel we had a good view of the advance of the military, who were received with a brisk fire from the Bourgeois, posted in the houses and at the barricades. The troops, however, by dint of superior numbers, were not long in reaching the park, which the Burghers had (unfortunately for them, and most unaccountably) neglected to occupy. They rushed irough the park, and took possession of the King's Palace, which was also unoccupied. Rapid as was their first success, yet they were never able, during the four days' fighting, to proceed fur. ther in this direction, and all their attempts to gain the Place Royale proved fruitless, notwithstanding the very brisk fire they incessantly kept up against the Bourgeois. It is a curious fact that not more than about two hundred of the latter were upon and about the Place Royale when the repeated attacks were made upon it by the military; but then they had three or four nine-pounders remarkably well served. With a view to take possession of those guns, a party of not more than forty lancers advanced along that part of the Hotel de Belle-Vue facing the park ; but they had scarcely reached the corner, and got into fire, when they faced about, and hastily retreated as far as the King ' s Pala ce.l A I brisk lire of cannon and small arms continued every day, without inter ruption, until the final retreat of the troops. The situation of the English ladles in the Hotel de Belle.Vue became every moment more critical. We had all removed to a room on the second floor, facing to the Place Royale ; but some of the Burghers, having entere d house, commenced firing from the roof which naturally drew upon the build ing the fire of the troops. The rapid succession of shots from and against the hotel, the continued roaring of the artillery close to its gates, and the shouting of the combatants, were enough to intimidate the stoutest female heart. It was found absolutely necessary to take the ladies to a lower part of the house, more under cover, although in de scending the great staircase they became exposed to the fire of the Dutch. They, however, all got safely down. The place of refuge was the cook's garde.manger, a sort of cellar, on a line with and a few steps lower than the kitchen. Being vaulted and underground, we remained there, in comparative safety, until the afternoon of Saturday, the 25th of Sept. The ladies gradually became accustomed to the noise of the firing over their heads, and, as one or two of them were of a very lively turn of mind, the cellar presented occasionally a scene of hilarity, fun, and good-humour, which strikingly contrasted with the more frequent one of alarm, terror, and despondency. It must not be supposed that the ladies remained prisoners the whole time in the cellar. Woman's curiosity prevailed, even at the risk of life • and there was many a creep up stairs to:gain a peep at the scene wit hout. At the same time it would be unjust to attribute this motive to one lady, Mrs. D—d, whose kind heart and genuine feeling induced her to visit the wounded, who were at each instant, and in great numbers, brought into the hall. To those brave fellows she rendered every assistance in her power ; and they, though in agony, most warmly expressed their gratitude. This lady had a miraculous escape from the apartments she occupied, at the commencement of the attack. Several shuts passed through them ; and in a few minutes after she left them they were tilled with all kinds of pro. jectiles. (Inc ball in particular, from a six-pounder, with very good taste, lodged itself on a spot the occupation of which, under other cir. cumstancea, might well be envied—the fair one's pill ow. In the after noon of the second day of the battle, a Belgic gentleman and his family, who had been previously staying in another part of the hotel, near the King's Palace, entered the cellar, where they made good their quarters. There was something in this man's appear ance so mysterious and disagreeable,' that none of us felt disposed to give him a very cordial reception ; and the result proved that we were by no means unworthy disciples of Lavater. About the middle of Sa turday (the third day) a Liegois Chief came into the cellar, evidently with a view to reconnoitre the party, when Mrs. D—d, by one of those sudden impulses which seem to belong more to the secret workings of I an ill-directing Providence, than to solely from human foresight, extended her hand to him, and him to embrace her, intimating at the same time that she trus - a 5 ; him for protection. The Chief nobly replied that withhis t life he would defend her, and shortly afterwards left the cellar. The kiss thus bestowed upon the cheek of this man, dirty and black as he was, from the thick of the fight, was, indeed, a most lucky one for us, as it was certainly the means of saving the lives of the whole party, both ladies and gentlemen. In three or four hours afterwards there was more than usual bustle sad noise, in consequence of the Burghers having occupied the house in still greater force, and brought one of their guns into the yard, ready, upon the opening of a back gate, to pour grape shot upon the troops immediately opposite, in the Park. It was at this moment that the Belgic gentle- 1 man hastily entered the cellar and desired his family to follow him as quickly as possible. He had , however, scarcely reached the front gate, when the Liegois Chief before-mentioned seised him as his prisoner; l in fact, he was a traitor, and had been strongly suspected by the Bur. ghers of giving provisions during the night to some officers of the royal troops, through one of the gates leading to the Park; and certainly many circumstances, which it is needless to detail, tended to convince us that those suspicions were but too well founded. Had the Burghers rushed into the cellar, there can be no doubt, considering the highly exasperated state they were in, that we should have all fallen victims to their rage. Annher Liegois Chief has since informed me that, having taken compassion upon this Belgic family, he used every exertion to restrain the fury of the Burghers, and succeeded in conducting them to the Hold de Ville; mill they were very roughly handled, and the mother and daughter (a beautiful girl of seventeen) were completely covered with mud, thrown at them by die enraged populace. There was now every indication of a most despe. tate conflict in and about the hotel; and, as our staying any longer there must have subjected us to the most imminent risk of either being massacred by the infuriated soldiery, should they gain pos. session of the building, or of being buried in its ruins, should it be bat. tered down, or set on tire, it became necessary to take a decided step. The master of the hotel seemed to have lost almost all melt peesesehms. He had become& marked man from his having harboured the traitor and from other circumstances; nor indeed ear he be justi. led fat hiving compromised out safety in each a manner. I shall never forget the manner in which Lady C—s B—at—k addrased him at this moment; she seemed to he fired with the ppirit sad decision of her illustrious uncle. After considerable hesitation, our landlord in a sul len manner, told her she had better go from the house, and Lady C. in ' staotly decided on leaving. The whole party agreed to follow her ex ample. When in the act or p...paring to depart five or six wined Bar ghers entered the cellas, and olf.red to escort us to a plar..• of ssyry They had evidently been sent by the Liegois Chief. We all now left the cellar. Arrived at the gate ; !mute little hesi.ation ho; ., shown, the Liegois Chief, whispered to Mrs. D—d " Vite, Vite, Ma dame." We sallied out, Lady C. with her daughters leading the vin , Captain S. with Mrs. W—y on one arm. and Miss W—y on the °don , were the next; behind them were Capt. D. and Mrs. D--d, followed by Mr. D—d and his little boy, the party being moreul by six Burghers The latter, having conduc.ed us slang thee Place 'Loyale, as fat :Is t.. , . Church, immediately opposite to the Monta g ue de la Cour, desired to cross the Place with them as quickly as potsible, as we kid now pass through a very heavy fire of grap,.shot and inuakeuy. It was most trying moment for the poor lathes, who could distinctly hest th shots whining past them. Antal we had got into the most exposed p.e . of the Plan, pour Mrs. NV—y fell dowa, exhausted by weal.- Ile14) and alarm, and it was quite impossible for Captain its get her on, u the daughter, on the other arm, was .m the paint Or fainting at the sight of her mother on the ground, its such a fearful situation. But two or three of those brave Burghers, thinking the pos r lady was wounded, ran forward front the corer under which they were tiring, and carried her from her dangerous position. It was quite . miracle that not one of the party was touched by a shot. Tee Burghers having thus conducted us through the principal danger, ki us by by-ways and back lanes to a house of great safety, where we remained until the next morain e ;, when we were obliged to go stilt further from the scene of combat, and to break up the party by se. curing such apartments as we could obt a i n i n different hotel: lower down in the town. Those brave fellows would tel.. • nothing for the services which they had rendered us, and actually returned several to the hotel at the hazard their liras, for the purpose of bringing away our baggage, which, wi.!t few exceptions, arising from the hurry and confusion of the menet: , was sately delivered to us. On the following day the contest was . minated by the troops being driven from their position in the Park. at' forced to a hasty retreat from the town, which now presented an app,,i• anco truly extraordinary. For whilst the houses in the immediate ACc: of action showed frightful evidence of the fury of the assault, and tl obstinacy of the defence, the whole population thronged the streets s. during a fete; every body, men, women, and children going about view those spots which had been the scenes of the glorious and success. fill struggle made by the Burghers for their liberty and independence.- The English families alluded to cannot sufficiently express either gratitude to the brave Belgians, or their admiration of their courage battle, and moderation in victory, displayed in this noble and um,' cause —" Pineal kr Beiges!" ti:/ . \ 4:.4 - 11t _ • :-___ \qi i E., ~..,... do) t -w.,fr---- , ii rmAcE„ 111, i „,,,w.A..,,,,,,,, 0 „.......„. 0 _ _.
