THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. SATURDAY. OCTOBER 30. This afternoon a Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign Office in Downing-street. The Council assembled at three o'clock, and was attended, by the Lord CHANCELLOR, the Duke of WELLINGTON, FAIN BATLIVAST, ROSALYN, and ABERDEEN, Lord ELLEN BOROUGH, Sir R. PEEL, Sir GEORGE MURRAY, the CHANCELLOR Of the Exca mutit,and Mr. H El( RI ES. Very soon after the Belgian Revolution, we suggested that the re-organization of that district of Europe, would be beet accomplished, by a Congress of those who organized its late situation ; and who could probably satisfy the Belgians, by estab:ishing them, as a separate state; but of a description more innoxious, and consonant to the interests of surrounding Governments, than if the Belgians were left to establish their own independence. It will be seen by two or three paragraphs, one of which has reached us from a most creditable source of information, to which we are frequently indebted for accurate, and sometimes exclusive information, that such a Congress—or rather reference from the con flicting parties—is believed at the Hague to be on the point of taking place. The intelligence appears to have received credit in the city, and we deem it not impro bable ; although we have observed some of the most acute of our cotemporaries, have treated such a supposition as unworthy of all attention. We deem it, however, proper to state, that this intelligence is not believed at the West End. When yesterday observing on the peculiarities of the . Belgian and Netherland intelligence, we expressed an opinion, that the causes given for the sudden sepa ration of views, between the KIND and his Son, were not satisfactory ; —and we hinted that, possibly, the influence of one of the greater Powers had intervened, to occasion the singular change of plan which had been suddenly evinced. We confess, Russia was the Power to which we alluded ; and we do not yet think its policy is utisfactorily to be defined, or free from ambiguity. But if this intelligence of a reference to England, France, and Prussia, by joint agreement between the Belgians and The intelligence from the county of Kent is truly alarm ing ; and resembles, in character, as well as in the myste rious nature of its origin, the outrages which took place last year in Normandy. We refer our readers to the details uhich we have extracted, and to the conflicting opinions of the morning journalists, of the policy to be pursued re garding them. We are of opinion, that severity would add to the mischief. FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. RECEIVED THIS DAY. PARIS, Om 27. Stn—The French Ministry appear to be gathering the fruit of their hesitation, and of their temporizing system. They wished as much as possible to retain twin people in place, and to satisfy, in some quarters justifiable ambition ; but they have preceded in a vaccinating manner. In order to get rid of the embarrassment in which they are thrown by the approaching trials of the ex-Ministers of Charles X. they intended to have taken tho generosity of the nation by surprise, and particularly that of tho people of Paris. For this purpose they proposed to abolish the punishment of death in political offences. They had tho cunning address to commence by the Law on National Rewards, relative to the days of July. The people did not mistake their purpose, and indignant at such an attempt at juggling, forgot their brave deeds and their personal interest, in order to recollect, and de liberate upon the lives of their tormentors. The dissatisfaction which it had been so long easy to remark in the public mind, had its origin in the proceedings of the Ministry and the Chamber of Deputies ; who, unable to understand the Re volution and to manage its direction by adopting all its con sequences, stood stationary, or rather followed a retrograde system. This dissatisfaction suddenly burst forth, but without any very culpable excesses. At last the state of the public mind became evident : placards posted, flags with in scriptions displayed, seditious cries, crowded assemblies, and vociferations, interrupted for some days the public tranquil lity, annihilated confidence, paralysed industry, and still the Ministry remained dumb. Unless some of the Ministers retire, a crisis is unavoidable ; and the King should replace them quickly, otherwise he may, in a few days, be forced to do it, which would be a grievous commencement to a new reign. The partisans of Charles X. took advantage of this state of things ; they did not mind being the cause of the ruin I of the four accused Ministers, and seeing them massacred by an infuriated mob. What they look for above all, is to see disorder and excesses stain the revolution of 1830. From the prison of the Luxembourg these chiefs would lead the exasperated part of the population to other places, to render it still more criminal, in the hope of having a favour able diversion to their plan of counter-Revolution. It is to be hoped, that the wisdom of Louis Philip will soar above his personal affections ; and that in agreeing with the na tion, which does not accuse the sincerity of the Ministers, he will displace them for that want of capacity of which every one is now convinced. The younger part of the population are particularly indig nant with the Ministry, and without wishing to recriminate, they say to every one that they have been accused by that very Ministry a month since, with being the sole cause of that restlessness which then manifested itself, in the popu lar clubs and public assemblies ; and they add " As soon as we were accused with being the cause of the dissatisfaction of the people and the want of confidence in the nation, we in stantly dissulved the clubs and closed the assemblies, but at this moment it is against the Chambers and the Ministry that the public indignation is vented from all parts with heartfelt demonstrations. Let them be as wise now, as we were. Let the Ministry and the Chambers retire, and give place to members more patriotic. In new and national elec tions, France will find that security bywhich we require to see our glorious revolution accomplished." I repeat again, there is no hope but in the retreat of the members of the cabinet and in a dissolution. But is this retreat possible, before the 130 elections now taking place, and which must determine the parliamentary majority ? Is that diseolution 'dna tageoue, with the electoral law which above all demands from the candidate the payment of 1000 fr. (401.) per annum, in direct taxes ? It is these two questions which embarrass the administration and occupy the journals. In policy it is often necessary to do quickly in order to do well, chiefly when necessity demands, and that necessity exists in Paris. No matter what may be the future majority of the Elective Chamber, the urgency at this moment is to change the personnel of the Ministry, and to recompose it with men already in the confidence of the nation, with them, the Chamber will always be liberal enough, at least, to vote the law proposed as necessity may require it, except the aboli tion of the penalty of Death. They will afterwards have the power of dissolution, and to make an appeal to the con stitutional spirit of France. It is the wisest policy, andl l that demanded by tho most learned, and the best friends of the country. J. L. Tim reports of the retirement of a part of the Ministry, are confirmed. It is certain that the Duke of Broglie and M. Guizot have sent in their resignation. The motives of their retreat are honourable. The Prefect of the Seine, by his proclamation on the late disturbances in Paris, had placed himself in direct opposition to the Chamber of Deputies, to the Ministry, who had encouraged the abolition of the pain of death, and also to General Lafayette, who had with so much energy supported the proposition. An opposition so marked, from an inferior magistrate, against the higher authorities of the State, was not to be suffered, and therefore, either the Prefect of the Seine must be dis missed, or the Majority of the Chamber of Deputies and the Ministry be compelled to yield to the Prefect. —This being the case, the two Ministers above named de manded the removal of the Prefect, on the ground, that being closely allied with the majority attacked in its absence, they were bound to defend it, and not permit an inferior M:igis trate to condemn at Paris the conduct of an assembly which was at this moment receiving unanimous testimonies of ap probation from the Electoral Colleges. They then tendered their resignation. It appears that the Minister of Justice would not consent to the discharge of the Prefect of the Seine : consequently the Duke of Broglie and M. Guizot had no alternative but to solicit the King to accept their resig nation, which, it is said, had been accepted.—Journal des Debuts. Yesterday, at eleven o'clock, the King rresided at a Council of Ministers, which lasted two hours. All the Mi nisters were present. The Journal des Deficits announces that M. Broglie and M. Guizot have offered their resigna tion. It was said at night that it had been accepted, and that M. Louis goes out of the Cabinet with them. M. La fitte and M. C. Pericr have decided on accepting a Portfolio —M. Lafitte the Portfolio of the Finances, with the Pre sidency of the Council ; M. Casimir Pericr the Portfolio of the Interior. M. Bignon succeeds M. de Broglie. The other Ministers i•reserve the Portfolios.—Journal du Com merce. 1500 thousand francs have been placed, by the commission of the 30 millions, at the disposal of the book trade. The commission who had the looking into tho state of distress in that branch of commerce, asked for three millions. We hope that the succour awarded will be sullcient to stop the disas ters which have menaced the book trade. The Messager des Chambres gave last night the following despatch, dated Bayonne, Oct. 25. It is unhappily true that the brave Chapalangara has been killed by a ball in the combat of the 19th.—Le Globe. It appears certain that the removal of tho Ministers in a state of accusation, from Vincennes to the Luxembourg, will not take place before the 15th of November ; and it is said that this delay is caused by the important revelations upon the fires already obtained, and which it is thought border on positive proof, and prolong the instructions of the process.— La Revolution. We shall seo the five franc piece of M. Gale when it comes out : we ought to expect that it will be handsome ; if it is not so, we shall have cause to complain that the principle of competition among the artists has been forgotten. The coin of Philip I. will much resemble that of Napoleon. The profile of the King is turned to the right ; the reverse bears a crown of laurel, with these words, ' 5 francs, 1830.' The motto on the edge, ' Dieu protege la France,' in relief. No fleur-de-lis will figure on the piece; and we are induced to believe that the Cock will replace that despised emblem, in the shield of the great seal, which, it is said, is not yet adopted. This concession to public opinion will produce an excellent effect.—Constitutionnel. Yesterday the 25th, and to day the 26th, the commis sion named by the Court of Peers, interrogated the Ex- Ministers. The questioning of M. de Polignac lasted seven hours, and occupied the whole of yesterday. M. de Pey ronnet replied during four consecutive hours, and we do not know whether the Commission will finish this evening the interrogation of M. de Chant*louse. To-morrow will come the turn of M. Guernon Ranville. Madame Cremieux and Madame do Renville presented themselves at the entrance of the small draw-bridge which leads to the Donjon; a National Guard on duty barred the entrance, and declared that without the watch-word he was not to allow any person to pass. " Respect the watch-word," said Madame Cremieux to Madame Guernon, " the National Guard only performs a rigorous duty ; we must not be dis pleased with him. It is not an affront, but a misfortune ; it is a measure of safe-guard." Madame de Renville burst into tears. Some moments after, the officer of the post in- 1 trodueed the defender, and the spouse of M. Guernon Ban ville into the Court of the Donjon ; the watchword was not for them."—Gaxette de Tribusaux. The Russian Prince who recently visited the prisons of the metropplis, and so munificently obtained the discharge of numerous prisoners who were detained for small debts, by discharging the claims upon which they were detained, yrs., we are informed, the Prince Demidoff. The prince is a Russian Nobleman of great wealth, and highly revered for his many virtues.

Dutch, of their differences, shall prove true, perhaps the sudden breaking up of the former attempts to accomplish an amicable accommodation, will be considered adequately accounted for. The news from Antwerp, of that city having united itself to the other revolted provinces, is important. The rise in French funds is supposed to be in consequence of the proposed Congress ;—but may it not be from the expected change in the French Ministry ? r There is a marked liveliness on 'Change th e ia day, partially occasioned by the French Bente' coming higher, but chiefly on account of an expectation, that the affairs of Belgium will be amicably arranged. A letter from Antwerp, received at noon this day, snys, that by the arrival of the English ship, Fury, despatches had been received, to the effect, that a Congress was to be assembled, on the Bth of November, at the Hague ; consisting principally of plenipotentiaries from England, France, and Prussia. An Antwerp paper, of the 25th instant, states that that town is to become a free port. Since the above was written, a letter has been handed to 'us, addressed to a highly respectable party in the City, by which it would appear that the King of HOLLAND and the Belgian!: have agreed to refer their differences to England and France ; that deputies have been sent to Paris from the Belgians ; and that others are hourly expected in this coun try. his MAJESTY, it is currently rumoured and believed, will make allusion to this subject in his Speech, on opening the present Parliament. In addition to the intelligence from General MisA, which is included this day in our general foreign department, we have seen a short letter from that officer, written in a most encouraging tone, as to his progress and future success. In this letter, he states the fact, of the village of Goizueta having sent a deputation to him. The let ter we allude to, includes a reply from the Alcalde of Lesaca, written in the most courtly style to the General, promising that his proclamations shall be extensively circu lated. The letter from Mix Ais dated on the night of the 21st October, from " the Field of Honour." LONDON FEMALE FASHIONS FOR NOVEMBCR.

Ermine The Duke of Clarence, in October, 1811, being at Ramsgate, asked after the grave of an old shipmate, who he knew had died there. He was shown it, and, after a little pause, asked where the monument was, and being told the re latives of the deceased officer could not afford to put up one, "Then," said the Prince, "send for a mason, and I will order and pay for one." Taking a pencil, he wrote the following, and it is inscribed and fixed in St. Lawrence Church, or. marble, giving the mason an order for all the expense : This Monument. to the Memory of the late Rear Admiral WILLIAM Fox, who died the of December, 1810, aged 77 years. is erected by His Royal Highness Prince William Henry, Duke of Clarence and St. Andrews, and Earl of Munster, K.G. and K.T.

The King, destitute of funds, was irritated at the request. " A man of courage," he eviler], " would not have asked ter money on the eve of battle. The next morning, while preparing for action, Henry perceived the Ge neral, and thus accosted him :—" Schomberg, 1 have insulted you, and as this day may be the last of my life, I would not tarry away the ho nour of a gentleman, and be unable to restore it.

MICHAZI.PS CROOKILD-LANE.—Thio church is to come down, to make way for the approaches to the new London Bridge. The church is of very ancient foundation, as appears by John de Berbera, who was Rector thereof, and died in the year 1304. The church was, originally. a very small plain building, and stood amidst lay-stalls and slaughter-grounds, used by the butchers of East cheap market. The old church was entirely destroyed in the great Ire of London, in 1666, and the present edifice erected in its stead. The patronage of this church was an ciently in the Prior and Convent of St. Augustine s, Canter bury, in whom it continued till the year 1408, since which time it has been vested in the Archbishops of that See, and is one of the 13 peculiars in the City of Loudon belonging to Canterbury. Hence the recent visit of his Grace to this church, te determine whether he should oppomor support the Bill for taking it down, in his place in Parliament.
