We have just heard, that Lord PALMERSTON, Mr. flusxtssoN, Lord MELBOURNE, and the Right Honour able CHARLES GRANT, are forthwith to come in, and strengthen the Administration, of which th e Duke of WEL LINGTON is to remain the head. Last night despatches were received at the Foreign Office from his Excellency Lord HETTISBV RY, the British Minis ter at St. Petersbugh. The Earl of ABERDEEN is still on a visit to the KING at Brighton, whither we yesterday stated he had gone. The Duke of WELLINGTON continues at Strathfieldsay. This afternoon the Mexican Minister transacted business at the Foreign Office, in Downing-street. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. From the Paris Papers of Thursday, September 2. It is stated that the Kiwo of PRUSSIA has recognized the new KING. It is stated that Austria is disposed to be on friendly terms with the French Government. _ Accounts from Italy state that Rome was in a state or fermentation, owing to a decree of the POPE to annul the sales of the national lands. - 7 According to letters from o. Madnd, of 23d August, the greatest tranquillity prevailed in that capital, and the Spa nish Government were determined immediately to recognise the new King of FRANCE; and orders were sent for the troops in the frontiers, to proceed into the interior. The Indicateur of Bordeaux, of the 27th August, states that the CAPTAIN-GENERAL Of GALICIA has given orders to the GOVERNOR of CORUNNA, to put that place in a state of defence : cannon has been put on the ram parts, and the troops at the posts are to be doubled. An Order of the KING, states that all Peers who do not take the oaths within one month, shall be considered as having lost their right to sit in the House of Peers ; and all Deputies will lose their right, after fifteen days. A telegraphic dispatch to the Minister of Marine states, that the brig Adonis left Algiers the 21st of August, and has arrived at Toulon ; that on her departure, it was known that General Ct.suz at. was appointed Commander-in-Chief of the army, and the sick in the army were diminishing. On the 18th of August, the fermentation continued at Lisbon ; the artillery of the fort St. George was pointed on the town, and the frigate Diana, of forty-eight guns, was anchored before the Terceiro de Paco, the place of the ordinary disturbance, of the inhabitants : but to ap pease the storm, the police gave out the report that CHARLES X. was again re-established on the throne, and he had caused 200 to be beheaded, amongst which were a re porter of a paper, and Gen.La VA T ETTF.—From the Journal du Commerce, Sept. 2. Scarcely ever was the Markets in such a state of agitation as now prevails. Consols for Account have fallen to 87k, a decline of very near 2 per cent. A variety of most alarm ing reports are current ; but the public belief of the resignation of the Duke of WELLINGTON appears the chief cause of the fall. It is added, in addition to this, that Sir ROBERT PEEL has also tendered his resignation ; and that orders for the immediate fitting out of six regiments have been given for foreign service.— A great spaculator is further said to have received news from Russia, of an insurrection having broken out. The hales have been made to a most important extent; and we understood that those have been for west end account,which induces the encreasing belief, that the Duke of WILLING TOM is no longer Prime Minister. This is said to have been brought about by an illustrious penionage;who bas long been opposed in politics to the Premier. ...

LONDON. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 4. The great importance of continental politics has, in a considerable degree, withdrawn the public attention from domestic occurrences; but a Journalist can hardly be said to do his duty, without attempting to obtain due notice for any circumstance which happens at home, deserving of par ticular remark. Of this nature we certainly deem to be the verdict of the Coroner's inquest, on the unfortunate Miss CAsims ; and we have observed, accordingly, that it has attracted the attention of several of our cotemporaries. We shall most certainly consider it our duty, to avoid pre judging a man, who is now, it may be supposed, in the course of having his conduct legally investigated by a com petent tribunal; but we shall speak of that individual, as we I should have spoken of him six months ago. We first heard of Mr. ST. JOHN Logo through the me dium of the Examiner; who, with its usual clear judgment, and bold hatred of deception, spoke of the individual referred to, months ago, as we conceive he merited. We did not, however, pay particular attention to his claims for public patronage, until we were requested to read his work, with a vies• of affording an opinion of it to a friend, labouring under the dreadful complaint, which LONG asserts he could remove. In its perusal we were truly asto nished at the palpable quackery which succeeds with portions of the British public. Who would believe, that perhaps the most conspicuous character in the nation— s man possessing the extensive information, the experience and genius of Sir FRANCIS BURDETT—wouId take the trouble to go across his threshold to consult a ST. JOHN LONG ? He certainly could not have perused his book. From this book, we think a tolerably correct judgment may be formed of the man. It contains, in the first place, a series of cases stated principally by his patients, many of whom are, certainly, creditable individuals. It is well known that no nostrum was ever deficient of such evidence in its support; and those who understand the human charac ter, under morbid influence, and have seen any thing of medical practice, can easily explain the reason ; which at present we have not time to do. One peculiarity, however, in the cases here related is, that in all, perhaps but one in stance, those represented as cases of Phtysis Pubnonalis are, at once, seen to be, by all who have any medical knowledge, not to be correctly classed under that term : and another point appears evident, which evinces the practitioner's cunning—that where such a well defined case presented itself to his practice, he was evidently in the habit of ex cepting it from the power of his treatment. As to the nature of his practice, nothing can be discovered, but some mys terious mention of inhalations and fumigations, and modes of drawing the morbific matter, or disease, out—almost as a tooth-drawer extracts a tooth, or a carpenter extracts a nail from a deal board ! Add to all this, that he represents not one disease only subject to this practice, but several. —We are sorry we have not the work at hand for reference, for many points might be usefully noticed in it, as illus trative of the species, of which Mr. ST. Jonw LONG is an individual specimen. We do not positively say that Mr. ST. JOHN LONG in tended mischief to his patients : we think the contrary ; but we think there is quite sufficient evidence of his ignorance and temerity. We are ready to admit, for instance, that the prophylactic branch of medical practice, has not obtained sufficient attention; and we believe that discoveries in that branch of the science will be made—but not by the tribe to which ST. JOHN LONG belongs. A man who argues from the supposed re-production of a lobster's claw, that the lungs be re-produced, may satisfy some of his patients, and do no harm, but not advance the science of medicine. A subject not certainly connected, but in some degree accidentally associated with the mention of St. ,JOHN LONG, is the qualifications requisite in a Coroner, to which our attention has been called by several correspondents. We published yesterday a very distinct, and apparently well-informed letter, on the legal duties of a Coroner; and if we be asked whether a knowledge of law, as far as regards those duties so defined, be requisite, we must answer decidedly in the affirmative ; but if, under standing those duties, and judging of them from what we have seen, we be asked whether some knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and all the branches of science which belong to the study of medicine, and which enable a judgment to be formed of the various causes of death, be requisite, we must answer likewise most decidedly in the affirmative. A charac ter possessed of both these kinds of knowledge—a hybrid between a doctor and a lawyer—seldom offers ; but as we con ceive the doctor can more easily obtain, by application, the re quisite legal knowledge, than the lawyer obtain the medical, so we should prefer to chuse a well-informed doctor to merely a well-informed lawyer, for the office, were both offered to our suffrage. Our Correspondent yesterday seems to admit, that the ancient custom of the country does not prescribe, as es sential, any minute professional legal knowledge ; for he mentions that, by old custom, the Lord Mayor of London, and others who fill the Magisterial office, have been, by right of their office, Coroners ; and every tine knows deep le gal lore seldom distinguishes such cha racters. We cannot, in justice to our own interests, allow this Paper to go to press, without mentioning, to satisfy our readers that we continue to afford them the earliest infor mation, that the intelligence which constituted the leading articles, yesterday, of the Courier, the Globe, and the Sun, was communicated to the Public in the STAR of the day before ; and that, if our readers will indulge us so far as to look back to, and compare, the intelligence made public in our columns on Continental affairs, through the whole week, they will find much important and interesting matter in them, which has not yet appeared in any other journal. Facts are stubborn things, and require no comment. The intelligence communicated to the public in a Second Edition of the Times of this day, and an extract of which will be found in our succeeding columns, has produced great sensation in the City. The scene, as described to have taken place in Brussels, is truly original, and cha racteristic of the eventful age in which we live. Every one must admire the conduct of the PZINCII, and the conduct of the people. We apprehend, however, that even such a Prince, with all his prudence and spirit of conciliation, will not stay the progress of revolution. In all human transactions the line of prudence to be ob served in yielding to demands is difficult ; for great sub mission occasions always increased demands. It will be seen below, that our City Correspondent describes almost a perfect panic to have existed in the Stock Market ; and other rumours have arisen, as is usual, to account for it. We shall give all we hear, but with all the qualifications requisite in such period of alarm. EXPRESS FROM BRUSSELS. NROOCIATIONS BETWEEN THE PRINCE OF ORANGE AND THE PEOPLE. " BRUSSELS. Sm. 2. " Yesterday, by an arrangement with the authorities of the city, the Prince of Orange entered Brussels. He had received two deputations on the previous afternoon and night. The first he had treated very haughtily, desiring its members to lay aside their colours. He declined to make any conces sions, but threatened to enter Brussels yesterday morning at the head of his troops. The announcement of this treatment and of this threat produced the greatest agitation among the Gardes Bourgeoise and in the minds of the Provisional Go vernment, under which the capital has been for the last seven days. They resolved, if he attempted to effect his threatened purpose, to oppose force to force. " The people, about ten o'clock on Tuesday, began, in imitation of the Parisians, to unpave the streets, and to erect barricades at all the issues of the city towards the side on which he would enter. All the citizens were at their posts, and the most determined resolutions were every where taken to remain united and in arms till the Prince came to terms. Waggons were overturned across the streets—barrels were brought, and filled with stones to increase the obstruction great mounds were formed of the pavement which had been taken up—the trees along the Boulevards were cut down, to throw on these heaps ; and, before six o'clock in the morn ing, the preparations made to receive the army must have effectually protected the city till after a great slaughter of the troops. Yet this was no test of what the resolution of the inhabitants might ultimately have accomplished, as the work of barricading was discontinued from half-past 12 at night, when the result of the Prince's conference with the second deputation was announced. " His Royal Highness agreed, on the representation made to him of the state of the city, to enter it yesterday forenoon with some members of his staf f only, and without any troops. He agreed to send back the troops coming on Brussels, or at least to suspend their march, and to give orders to those before the Palace to remain inactive in their position. " The commandant of the civic force issued an order of the day for the citizens to assemble at ten o'clock yesterday morning in the square of the Hotel de Ville. But before they met, the Prince sent to order that they would lay down their colurs. To this command a positive negative was returned, and it was for some time doubtful whether his Royal Highness would appear under the Brabant flag, which had displaced the Orange. The urgency of the occasion, however, made him wave even this point, which to him at first was a point of honour, and he was obliged to entrust himself alone, without troops or assistance of any kind, among 8,000 or 10,000 armed citizens, who had thrown aside the colours of his family, and assumed those of their ancient province ; 2,000 stand of arms had arrived the day before from Liege ; and it probably is no exaggeration to say, that not less than 10,000 burghers were provided with mus kets by yesterday morning. The square of the Hotel de Vine probably never exhibited a finer display than when each of the eight sections had taken up their positions with their appropriate flags and with glittering arms. They not only displayed the tricolour on their standards, but each citizen wore a tricoloured cockade at his button-hole, and most of them had tricoloured scarfs round their wrists. " The march began towards the Palace of Laeken, to meet the Prince about half-past 11 o'clock, and the last of the sections had not left the square till half-past 12. His Royal Highness, accompanied by three aides-de-camp, came in about half-put one, but did not reach the Hotel de Vile till past two o'clock. " He was extremely anxious to proceed directly to the Palace without going to the Hotel de Ville at all ; but the lower class of inhabitants, no doubt directed by the city authorities, opposed his progress, and after a quarter of an hour's contest (during which the populace repeatedly seized the bridle of his horse, and insisted on his going to pay homage to the city authorities,) he was obliged to submit to their dic tation. At the Hotel de Ville he made a speech in a very ani mated manner, in which he promised to satisfy the reason able wishes of the Belgians, and announced the formation of a commission to consider their grievances. He then rude off with the cavalry part of the City Guard, and going too fast, narrowly escaped being killed by one of the posts, who thought that he was flying from the city to call in the tr ps. oo " All the Guards were afterwards passed in review by him before his Palace. He appeared pale and alarmed in the midst of the Gerdes Bourgeoise. " The commission meets this morning at nine o'clock, as you will see by the enclosed proclamation : " ' PROCLAMATION OF THE PRINCE OF ORANOE, IN THE KING'S NAME,. " Inhabitants of Brussels—l come with confidence among you ; my security is complete, guaranteed as it is by your loyalty. " It is to your prudence that the re-establishment of order is due. lam glad to acknowledge this, and I thank you in the King's name. " Join with me in securing tranquillity, and no troops will then enter the town; and, in concert with your autho rities, I will take the necessary measures for restoring calm ness and confidence. " ' A commission, composed of the Duke d'Ursel, Pre sident ; Vander Fosse, Governor of the Province ; d'Wel lens, Burgomaster of Brussels; Emm.Vanderlinden d'Hoog vorat, Commander of the Civic Guard; Gen. d'Aubremb; Kockaert, Member of the Regency; the Duke d'Arenberg (who has agreed, at my wish, to co-operate in this commis sion), is charged to propose these measures to me. " ' It will meet to-morrow, the 2d of September, at nine o'clock in the morning, at my Palace. " WILLIAM, PRINCE OF ORANGE. i 66 6 Brussels, Sept. I.' CITY, HALF-PAST ONA Another great panic has taken place in the Consol Mar ket, and there are Sellers by wholesale to great amounts. Consols have fallen ifs per cont. from 904 to 871 I. Various are the reports on the occasion;—the whole of the Rifle Brigade are ordered off immediately for Ireland ; and yesterday, a further supply of ball cartridge was sent them :—that the Prince of Orange has been made prisoner and detained as a hostage ; that his Majesty wished for three sail of the line to be sent to the Tagus, which was opposed by the Duke of Wellington. Owing to the various reports, the city is in a state of confusion and anxiety, all persons eager to learn the true cause of the sudden fall in the funds. The Foreign Market is in the mono dot* so that of the British. Every docriptios of Stock ht going down. COURT INTELLIGENCE. Monsieur Zea Burmudes, the Spanish Minister, transact e d burins yesterday. at the Ake of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. The Count Otton de Vttzthum, Chamberlain to the King of Saxony, has left town for Brighton. The Duke of Wellington left town on Thursday, for his seat at Strathtieldsay. Mr. Berries has left town, for his seat at Seven Oaks, Kent. Despatches were sent off on Thursday night from the Co lonial Office 9 for the Governor-General of the Canada , and also f or the Earl of Belmore, the Governer of Jamaica, and the other Go. remora of the West India Islands. His Majesty, in addition to his late splendid gift to the Zoological Society of the Menagerie at Windsor, has also presented to the Society the skin and skeleton of the celebrated giraffe, which wags.. great a favourite with the late King. It is now placed in the Museum. in Bruton-street. It is said that the King:will not permit any volunteers to wear scarlet and gold, and that the dress of the Hon. Artillery Ca m party, of which he is Captain.Geneval, will be entirely changed pr e . vioudy to the Coronation. The inconvenience experienced by the King and Queen in crowds following and besetting them wherever they go, is one which will soon cure itself. It arises in a great measure from the unfortunate, and latterly, we believe, unavoidable seclusion of the late reign. A report is in town of the death of the venerable Earl Pitswilliant, at Milton, Peterborough. The death of Lord Langfo r d is also reported. His Grace the Duke of Buckingham and Chandos has been seriously ill, at his seat, Stowe House, near Buckingham ; his Grace is a great sufferer occasionally from the gout, but this attack has been of a different and alarming nature; we are happy to add that his Once is much better..—Northumpfon Mercury. Count Ferronays, the French Ambassador at Rome, and Count Saint Pticst, the Ambassador at Madrid, have resigned in coo. sequence of the change in the Government.—Paris Paper. We have it from an authentic source, that on learning the events which had occurred at Paris, the Emperor of Austria expressed himself thus :—" I despise the Ministers who have driven Charles X. from the throne by an infraction of the charter to which he had so lemnly sworn. The lint duty of an honest man, and particularly of a sovereign, is to be faithtul to his word. lam sorry for the Duke of Bordeaux, because he is innocent ; but in no ease wilt l nix myself in his eairs.—Joureal des Debate.

A con siderable reduction is about to be made in the different Colonies de. pendant on Great Britain—a saving will be effected by the proposed re. duction of 200,0001. a year. The United Service Club have thrown open their doors to the Juniors while the latter's house is under repairs. . . Great astonishment has been expressed as to what became 'sll the thieves during the late commotion, in Paris. The ouly way solving the difficulty is by supposing that they went off with the ex. ing and his family, when they stole the crown diamonds. The annual dividends of the Dutch East India Company, for the six years ending with 1601, were 36 per cent. la 1606 they had risen to 76 per cent, and in 1616 were 62j per cent. A project is on foot for forming what is to be called a Commercial Club, where men of business, in imitation of the idlers of other classes, are to look for relaxation and comfort in selfish enjoy ment, rather than In the bosom of their own families. A meeting took place yesterday morning at six o'clock, neat White Conduit House, between W. D. Esq. and J. R. Esq. both gentlemen belonging to the City ; when, after an exchange of shots, the affair was amicably adjusW, owing to the interference of the seconds. The Virgin to whom the " pions and beloved" Ferdinand had appointed himself man-milliner, is likely to catch cold in the en. suing winter, as Ferdinand will not be able to find time, from the cares of State, to embroider her a petticoat, GREAT MALVERN, SEPT. I.—Notwithstanding the US favourable state of the weather, the Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria continue to take their drives and rides, and still appear to be charmed with the beautiful scenery of this neighbourhood. Saturday her Royal Highness entertained at dinner the Earl and Countess Beau champ, Earl and Countess Somers, Lord and Lady Rumor, Lady Mar. garet Cocks, Sir Warren Peacocks, and the Rev. Dr. Card. Sunday an able discourse, for the benefit of the Sunday School of this plate, was delivered by the Rev. Dr. Card, the Vicar, on which occasion the Du. chess of Kent and the Primes Victoria were present, attended Sir John and Lady Conroy and the Baroness leitsen. Their Royal Highnesses were liberal contributors to the charity. The collection amounted to 621. is. 6d. The plates were held by Viscountess Eastnor, Lady Alice Peel, Lady Lyttleton, Mrs. Learner*, and Miss Conroy, who were at tended by Earl Beauchamp, Viscount Eastnor, Sir Anthony Lechmere, Bart. Colonel West, and Edward Candler, Esq. The Duchess of Kent and the Princess visited Hereford yeste rday. They were received at the Episcopal Palace by the Venerable Bishop. An Address was pre. seoted to their Royal Highnesses by the Mayor and Corporation, to which the Duchess made a suitable reply. In the afternoon they re turned to Malvern. Tux KING.—The following and regularly authenticated anecdote ought not to remain buried in oblivion. A gentleman who held a commission of First Lieutenant when his Majesty sailed in the British Navy as midshipman, and Sir Richard Keats held the same rank, became some years after by untowered events em barrassed in his circumstances. His Majesty meeting his old lieu. tenant, then .become captain, and seeing hint much dejected. in quired anxiously the cause, which was, after much hesitation, communicated to him. He was deeply hurt at seeing an old ship. mate in distress, and inquired if he had applied to a wealthy re. lathe for his assistance ? The Captain told him he had, but was refused, and upon hearing which he said, 4 ' I will solicit a loan of him for you. This he did, and his Royal Highness was as un. successful as his friend. Disappointed by the rich man's refusal. but determined to carry his point, he sent the Captain an invitation to break. fast, which being concluded, his Majesty withdrew front the apartment, and did not return, but he sent by his secretary an apology to the Cap tain, and, in an envelop, a check upon his banker for 2.0001. which amount it was subsequently discovered he had borrowed for the poi. pose, having no money of his own then at command. The Captain, delighted and surprised, hastened to discharge with this princely cos. sideration the obligations incurred, and shortly waited upon his Royal Highness with his most grateful acknowledgments, and a bond for the advance. Upon the latter being given to his Majesty, he instantly de. strayed it, saying, " I cannot hold this instrument, George; for I in. tended this check as a present to your wife and children."
