Early this morning, the Herald published a second edi tion, in which it was stated, that by an extraordinary Ex press, the following letter had been received from a corres pondent at Ostend, dated Monday:— " I hasten to send you the important communication which has just been made to me, that a Prussian army has entered Belgium. They have opened at three se veral points —first, by increasing the garrison at Luxem bourg (where 4,000 Prussians always were by treaty) to 16,000 men ; next, by Maestricht, with 6,000 men ; and then at a point more north in Guelders, which I cannot dis tinctly make out, with 8,000 men. The whole are to be direct ed on Brussels. It is further said that the Prussian force destined for this service amounts altogether to 50,000 men, and that Prince Albert, who lately married the daughter of the King of Holland, is at their head. Aware how news paper intelligence is perverted to Stock Exchange pur poses, I think it right to keep myself clear of any charge f that nature, by saying that the above intelligence has not been communicated to me in an official shape. I be lieve it, however, to be true ; and the English family to whom it was sent, by a friend, from Maestricht, are acting upon it, and intend to quit this country on Tuesday. We are without any additional intelligence from Brussels. If the Provisional Government are acquainted with the march of the Prussians, they have not as yet communicated it to the people. A report, 'however, prevails; that M. de Port.Ea has gone to Paris; and if the news be true, it is probable that he has done so to demand amistance." We have received no confirmation of this intelligence; but we find by the Paris papers of Monday, received by ex press this afternoon, that the Prussian troops were fast as sembling on the Rhine ; and that Prince WILLIAM was expected immediately to put himself at their head. In the nieanw•hile, the news given by the Herald has had some effect on the funds, the speculators fearing, at the same time, that it might turn out a stock-jobbing concern, having made its appearance just before the ac count day. To strengthen their doubts, they recal to me mory the speech of the French Minister MOLE ; wherein he stated that none of the Continental Powers had the slightest intention of intermeddling in the affairs of Belgium ; and they presume that the Count could not have been ignorant of the views of Prussia, when lie made this declaration. All this, however, is mere matter of specu lation ; and another day—perhaps a few hours—may bring tidings of a more decisive character. The Ostend Steamer, and Rotterdam Steamers arrived at one o'clock this day ; and we are now enabled to dispel all the doubts and suspicicuis which have been excited by the letter in the lientld this morning, and given above. The impels and letters by these conveyances are perfectly silent on the subject of the march of the Prussians into Belgium ; on the contrary, the informa tion from Holland would lead us confidently to hope, that the Prince of One NGE would be able to accomplish a settle ment of the disputes, which have so long agitated the pro vinces of his kingdom. It is alleged, however, that this cannot be done, without great sacrifices on the part of the KING. One of the letters which we have just perused states, that Rimy of the mute opulent inhabitants of Brussels had I:ft that city, with their property ; and the acts of the Provisional Government had been viewed with much' anxiety and apprehension. It appears that they are not without differences among themselves : three parties are ex istiug—one who would advocate a return to their old po sition with the KING, with some modifications of his power as regards Belgium ; another party openly advocate a re publican form of Government; and a third, will never be satisfied with any arrangement, but that which includes a junction with France. In the meanwhile, there is a great deficiency of provi sions, and the humbler orders are becoming veridiscon tented. We have been favoured with the perusal of a private letter from Amsterdam, addressed_ to a very opulent mer chant, intimately connected with Holland, confirmatory of what we have above stated ; and likewise conveying to us the following facts : " The Minister of Finance is authorized to contract a loan of twenty minion' of guilders, with the Netherland Bank ; five millions of guilders 4i per Cents; and a capital of fifty millions of guilders of the real debt; to be inscribed in the names of the President and Directors the Bank ; and upon this capital • loan of twenty millions of guilders is to be raised, redeemable within two years, years, to begin from the Ist of March, 1831; to be paid off by the Ist of March, 1833.—thb Loan to be divided into shares, at 51 per cent. interest." We have tbe Constihrtionnsl and National Paris papers of Monday ; but they do not convey many more important particulars, than will be found in the various continental passages given elsewhere in these columns. We observe that rumours prevailed at Warsaw of a modification in the Russian Ministry ; and the news we gave yesterday of Sir E. ColininuTon's arrival at St. Petersburgh is repeated. We likewise find that when the French Ambassador at Constantinople, GUILLENINOT, had announced to the Poare the great events at Paris, and accession of Louis PIIILLIPE, he was referred to the REIN EFFENDI, who intimated to the Count, that no acknowledg ment at present could be given to the new Ktsci of the French ; whereupon a lively discussion ensued ; and, so late as the 10th of September, it was not known what measures the Poirrs would pursue. Letters from Cadiz, of the '2sth September. inform us that the Go►ernor of that City bad been dismissed by the Captain-General, on account of his cognisance of a project of the Carlists, to proclaim the Infant, Don CA as.os, King of Spain. Three companies, who joined in this measure, bad been disarmed on the 24th of September. A letter from Leipsic is given in the Paris papers received by express this day, dated the 3d instant, stating that an insurrection had broken out in the capital of Silesia. Ac counts just then received, conveyed the intelligence of the whole population being up in arms ; the streets were in the occupation of the military ; and artillery had been placed in the Grand Square. The cause of these troubles had not transpired when the letter was despatched. Under the head of Foreign Intelligence, our Readers will peruse probably with some surprise, but we have no doubt with considerable pleasure, that the Kiso of SPAIN has at last taken an accurate view of his hazardous posi tion ; and that he appears to be adopting the best 'mode of extricating himself from it. He has at last assembled around him that class of his Statesmen and Nobility, who are of the moderate party ; and we cannot have a better test of the sincerity of the SiNo's intentions, and the favourable character of the men, under whose guidance he is inclined to act, than that his conduct has given alarm to the Carlist faction 'who, it appears, had meditated a re volutionary movement in favour of their adopted chief. FERDIN•ND has not much credit with the popular party ; and, therefore, there will be -considerable difficulty, whatever be the nature of his acts, to obtain much con fidence for them ; but we think the time has come with him, when honest policy will be decidedly the best; and we can hardly believe he will be so blind to the fate which otherwise awaits him, not to desist from any fur -1 ther dissimulation with his people. Should he do so, we think there is that spirit of moderate conciliation in the Spanish character, that he would be able soon to convert those who are now preparing to be leaders against him, Into good and loyal subjects ; but before he can accomplish such a change, he must give some solid proofs that he no longer denies his people, those social institutions and privi leges, which are not only analogous to what has been imme- Imorially enjoyed in Spain, but which are in course of being established all over Europe. Could FIiRDI WAN D thus act, all considerate politicians, we are sure, would rejoice that Spain should have escaped so happily from the miseries of a more violent revolution.

Nothing of consequence doing in the Foreign Market. Sir Henry Cavendish, a member of the Irish House of Commons, was so expert at short-hand that he was correct even to a word, and frequently, during hapaetant debates, sent the moat remarkable speeches to the Castle, to ratify the solicitude of the impatient Viceroy.

Florence, hitherto the most peaceable of all the cities of Italy, has lately been in a state of great disturbance. Some enthusiasts carried the tricoloured flag for three hours through the streets of the city, preceded by bands of music. The appearance of the French flag caused all the workmen to leave their employment, and the cortege continually in creased. They stopped for a short time at the foot of the equestrian statue upon the Place of the Grand Duke. Al though the multitude filled the entire Place, the Guard at the Palace did not interfere. The soldiers, by endeavouring to pull down the flag, would have increased the tumult.— The event proved how wisely they acted; for, having arrived at Canine, the procession dispersed without any distur bance. The flag and drums have been so carefully concealed that the police have not been able to discover them. The cries made use of did not express any hostility to the reigning Duke, the only words were " Liberty," " Constitution," " the Country." The local authorities took means to suppress the sedition, when it had been put an end to, and order estab lished, by the disappearance of the chiefs at their rallying point. The Grand Duke, his family, and the Courtt are not in Tuscany; the Ministers are in the country. It is the absence of these members of the Government which gave occasion to this republican display.- I This fact proves, nevertheless, that there only wants a proper occasion to produce in all parts of /tidy serious movements to cause the cessation of that oppression Iwhich afflicts the people, and to induce the governments to grant constitutional laws to protect their subjects against the tyranny of Ministerial despots, and the caprices of pro digal and dissolute Courts. The day before yesterday 300 superior officers met at the Garden of Plants, and repaired to the Cemetery of Pere la Chaise, to honour the remains of the unfortunate La Be doyere. M. Delounoy, Chef de Bataillon, his Aide-de- Camp, pronounced over the tomb an oration, of which we regret we can only report the following passage. It proves that La Bedoyere was more a friend of liberty than a partisan of the Emperor. " Called to the command of the 7th regiment of the line, on the return of Napoleon, could he remain un faithful to his ancient recollection of glory ?" Ab ! let those at least who have imputed to him this circumstance as a crime, know with what sentiments he addressed the great General at their first interview :—" Sire," said lie, " no more ambition—no more conquests-- lead us on to liberty, and we will make a rampart of our bodies to defend it." Alas ! this hope of liberty was not realised to him. Treason led the foreigner a second time within our walls. La Bedoyere was arrested, you know his fate, you know that he died like a brave man. The " English" continu e to fly from The Earl of Fingal and family leave to-morrow for England. Ere the first of next month, sorely one British family of rank will have remained here. 1 shall not regret their return home, although I am far from participating in the reason for it—their apprehension of disturbances in Paris.—Lstkv from Paris. The Royal Society is at present the scene of much divi sion on the subject of a future President. Many of the members have long desired to have the Duke of Sussex in their chair, not only on as count of his Mistrials rank, but because his Royal Highness is a known zealous patron of learning and science, and has space 'Mel at Kensington Palace to have select meetings, and otherwise to entertain them In a distinguished manner. Others wish to continue D. Gilbert, Esq. (Sir H. Davy's successor) while a third party is mentioned as being desirous to elect Mr. Herschel. In this state of things Mr. Gil- I beet has written to the Society, that he understands the Duke had been applied to on the subject, and that his Royal Highness had consented to be proposed for the Presidentship, he (Mr. G.) declared that he must abstain from allowing himself to be put in nomination in opposition to the Royal Duke. The subject is one that is exciting amazing deal of interest, especially amongst the F. R. 13.'s.—iforninp Herold.

Signal Portrait Gallery, edited by Mr. Jordan ,—" Mr. a young gentleman with a broken limb, which refined to heal long after the fracture, went to consult Mr. Abernethy; and as usual, was entering into all the details of his complaint. when he was thus stopped almost in Pray, Sir, do you come here to talk, or to hear nee ? If you want my advice it is so and wish you a good morning.' A scene of greater length, and still greater interest and ester tainment, took place between our emigent surgeon and the famous John Philpot Curran. Mr. Curran, it seems, being personally unknown to him bad visited Mr. Abernethy se veral times, without Mein; an opportunity of fully explain. :Laces he thought) the nature of his malady at last, deter. to have a bearing, when interrupted in his story, he fixed his dark * bright eye on the ' doctor,' and said- 6 Mr. Abernethy, I have been here on eight different days, and I have paid you eight different guineas ; but you have never yet listened to the symptoms of my complaint. I am resole. ed, Sir, not to leave this room till you satisfy' me by doing so.' Struck by his manner, Mr. Abernethy threw himself back in his chair, and assassin the posture of a most indefatigable listener. ex. claimed, in a tens of half surprise, half humour, 6 0, very well, Sir, 1 am ready to beer yen out.

It is hardly necessary to add, that Mr. A beenethv's attention to his gifted patient was, from that hour to the close of his life, unremitting and devoted." Again, 6, Mrs. I. consulted him on the nervous disorder, the minutiae of which appeared to be so fantastical, that Mr. Abernethy interrupted their frivolous do. tail, by holding out his hand for the fee. • one-pound note and a shilling were placed in ft; upon which be returned the latter to , his fair patient, with the angry exclamation of, " There, ma'am—go and buy a skipping-rope : that is all you want.' Mr. Abernethy's strong point in prescribing is generally addressed to the relief of the bowels, and to the lowering and regula tion of the diet and regimen. He is, consequently, much sought in dyspeptic disorders ; and. it is stated, of mfrs. to such a pegs in one of his books, where he has already given the remedy. The patients have only to buy the work, where they will find an exact description of their symptoms, and a recipe foe their cure. On one occasion, a lady, unsatisfied with this amount of information, persisted in extracting from Mr. Aberneth what she might eat, and, after suffering from her volubility with le patience for a while, he exclaimed to the repeated ' May I est oys ters, Doctor ? May I eat suppers ?' 'l'll tell you what, ma'am, you may eat any thing but the poker and the bellows ; foe the one is too hard of digestion, and the other is full of wind.' The reported fashion of his courtship and marriage is also extremely characteristic. It is told, that while at tending a lady for several weeks, he observed those admira ble qualifications in her deserter, which he truly esteemed to be calculated to render the married state happy. Accordingly, m a Saturday, when taking leave of his patient, he a dd ressed her to the fol. lowing purport :- 6 You are now so well, that I need not see you after Monday next, when I shall come and pay you my farewell visit. But, in the meantime, I wish you and your daughter seriously to consider the proposal I am now about to make. It Is abrupt and uncere. amnions, I am aware, but the excessive occupation of my time, by my profession a l duties, affords me no leisure to se. =b what I desire by the More ordinary course of at. and solicitation. My annual receipts amount to and I can settle on my wife. My character is generally known to the public, so that you may readily ascertain what it is. I have seen in your daughter a tender and affectionate child, an am siduous and careful aurss,anda gentle and ladylike member of a dimity; such a person must be all that a husband could covet; and 1 elks mv hand and fortune foe her acceptance.

The:Committee met yesterday foe the purpose of faci li tating the preparations for the reception of his Majesty. Some inconvenience arises from the circumstance of the Loed Chamberlain not having yet sent the list of the company who will have the honour of attending his Ma. jesty. If the King should bring a large Court with him, the old King's Bench will be fitted up. When George the Third dined at the Guildhall, the Lady Mayoress and the Aldermen's wives dined in that Court, the Hall having upon • all such occasions, been app% primed to the Court and Corporation. The Throne which is to be erecte.l will cost nearly seven hundred :pounds. The Gas Com. pany have received orders to place a great number of burners be. hind the beautifully-stained window at the west end of the Hall, and upon the entrance of the King thelights will blase forth in their fullest splendour. This regulation supersedes the paltry oil lamps with which it has been ueual to decorate the eastern window, and which, itjw 11 not easily be forgotten, tumbled down upon one grand occasion. A new gallery has been ordered to be erected in the Hall, over the step. leading to the Court of Common Council, for the Royal band. In the permanent gallery opposite, vocal performers are to sit. A proposi. thou was made to the Committee to build a gallery all mewl the Hall, for the accommodation of ladies, according to the precedent at the pe riod of the visit of George the Third, but the enormous expense of such a plan at once set aside the suggestion. The Committee, it is necessary to say, will make the entertainment worthy of the occasion, and act witn a proper consideration for economy. The pictures in the Council Cham ber have been:all cleaned, and the frames are newly gilt. The scene will, altogether, resemble a minor coronation. It is intended to assimilate, as closely as possible, the preparations for the approaching festival, to that given to George the Third, which was the counterpart of that given to George the Second. 601130 alterations, however, adapted to the " mare! , of intellect," will be made. The Committee have made several speculative experiments, which they may abandon for what may be thought new and more eligible plans. The door-way constructed at the entrance to the hall, appears to us to be much too nai row. Two persons can scarcely go in abreast. This has been, we understand, arranged with the view of preventing a rush, which, on former ocessicoe, when folding-doors were used, prodaced great Inconvenience; but the committee, in their ear* to guard &ohm asejsnobarrasement, have thus fallen into a greater. His late Majesty could never have condescended to enter a door-way by such squeezing limits. The eammitsse are indefatigable, but the workmen suffer some inconvenience already from the multitudes whom curiosity areanble in the neighbourhood. The Deputy Ressembrancer of the Corporation of the City of London attended at the King's Palace, at Brighton, on Monday, take his Majesty's commands relative to some arrangements tha t a r e making for the King's reception on Lord Mayor's Day. The Deputy Remembranter was received by, Sir Herbert Taylor, his Majesty'. private secretary. The Queen will accompany the King in his visit to the Lord Mayor and Corporation on the Bth of November, his Majesty hay. log replied to the Lord Mayor and city officers at the Court at St. James's, on Wednesday, in answer to the request of his Lordshiportien it would be convenient for him to wait upon and invite the Queen, that be would save the Lord Mayor the trouble of going to Brighton to in vite her Majesty, as be would answer that the Queen would be must happy to accompany him to the festival of the city of London. Monsieur Falck, the Ambassador from the Netherlands, the Russian, Prussian, and Spanish Ministers, bed interviews with the Earl of Aberdeen yesterday, at the office of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.

Louis-Philippe is exceedingly like a jovial English farmer, in his personal appowance, bating, of course, the pude of royalty.

The Equitable Gas Company (a new establishment, embo died only last Session of Parliament) had yesterday a number of men actively employed in laying down, on both sides of the Strand, between Southampton and Wellingtomeneets, the first of a series of gas pipes, which me ultimately intended to attend from Temple-bar to Walloon green, where the furnaces and gasometer are now building.

On Monday last, a grand dinner, at which Mr. Attwood presided, weeetiven at Birmingham, in oonsmemmation of the French revolution. The Chairman introduced the masts with appropriate observations; but, owing to the meson et other matter. we cannot make room for any of the speeches. The dinner took place in Mr. Beardsweeth's Repository far horses and cartiages.— a building which, it seems, is of so extensive a nature. that on this occasion ft drawled accommodation to 3,700 persons. In the introduction to the report in the Birmingham paper ft is stated—" The prepm. ratovy arras one for a dinner of such immense magnitude were sdmlrable. The party was divided into sseettss,, a steward being ap pointed to every twenty individuals, and theme ully diatiaguished by a neat flag, es the oos side of which was tastef mimed the Brinsh Jack, and on the other the French tricolour. The duty et each steward was to carve toe the persons under his immediate superintendence, to attend to their convenience, to assist la keeping ceder, and to com municate with Political Council, if required. The quantity of pro visions, all of which we can pronounce to have been of the very best description and qualtity. will Abed some idea of the amazing extent et the dinner.
