Is it not natural that the laws shoed reach more frequently those who show themselves in broad day. light, than those who conceal themselves, and, instructed by flair defeat, conspire in the dark ; while the others, employ ing badly their victory, make their excesses known. The Hon. Deputy then wept into an examination of the este of Europe, in order to prove the truth of his asser tion. that peace was the interests of all the Powers, and therefore would, most probably, be preserved, and that France. nod!r such circumstances, could not go to war. Sic had. he believed, more confidence than any one in the ,roism of France, of which she had given an example in 1193 —tort at a severe cost. Assuredly, it was not cold hearted criielty that gave rise to the excesses of that period, ha the necessity of defence. Would Honourable Depu ties have war, or victory, even at such a price ?—Ad. journed. ll'enscsoar. AUGUST lo.—The order of the day being t h e discussion of the address to the throne, M. Larabit rose ta oppose the project of the committee. He first directsel his attacks against the ministry for consenting to the demo lition of the fortresses of Belgium. That country, he said, was the natural ally of France, as France was the necessasy I.lly of Belgium. The line of strong places was a bulwark for France; and the ministry who could sanction such a w rote would be guilty of a derelietiod of the Interests Franco, anti even of high treason, for making such a concession to an Eng!ish King, and to the other enemies of the country. M. Lerishit then examined which were the strong places raised to menace France, and those built for the protection of Belgium ; and concluded that there was not one that might not be some day of use to France. The Ministry, in accepting the direction of affairs, continued he, promised that they would be able to preserve peace; and in order to keep the power in their bands, they Irene discredited France with the foreign powers, with the lope of thus preserving peace. Yet at a moment whets a I majority in the Chamber was about to tail them, without cal. culating the conaequences of their intervention, they, who nail shamefully abandoned Poland, have determined ab 4 'oßl rn oat king the weak King of Holland. 31. Larabit contd. ' Java war to be inevitable ; and to be prepared to wage it he suggested the propriety in the Government to present to the tlt ,tuber a project of law having (or its object to double the daily in case of need, by calling into active service part of 0,, moveable National Guards. The orator then censured tile Ministry for their dereliction of Poland, the most faith. tai ally of France, whose heroical efforts have once, more so.d her from the barbarian hordes of Russia, and finished i inviting the Government to take some efficient measure to sane that noble nation. lhoslial CLaesEL took a review of the internal situation of France, and ascribed the state of uneasiness end diffidence of the people to the Ministry having left the principal offices of the state In the hands of the partisans of the fallen dynasty, alto might, surely, he said, entertain hopes of the return of that family. He condemned the severity of the Government 'cavils the Republicans, who were moody young M4ll, ac tuated by _ the most hooourable prindples, and on whose courage• always rely for the defence of their they might - days . country. M. Clause' afterwards examined the foreign policy of France, which he could not approve of in all its pans. He distrusted the friendly assurances of Austria, gums* and Prussia; he asked the Ministry to come for ward and declare, with their hands on their breasts, did they consider them sincere ? If they did, let them beware lot to-morrow the events would belie their welds. lie insisted that the Address should contain a strong recommen. motion in favour of the cause of Poland. SEIVITIANI, Minister of Foreign Affairs, observed that the policy of France had been wise, useful, and na tional; and that events, which were stronger than declama tion, would show whether the Cabinet or their honourable adversaries best appreciated times and men. The peace of Europe had ever been the object of Government, and he hoped that circumstances would, ere long, prove that the mat of national honour had remained unsullied in their hands. After other general observations M. Sebastiani preceeded to touch the Polish question. " Why, say our adversaries, tiot fly to the assistance of Poland, or recognise her as a nation ?" My blood has mingled with that of the Poles, ,nd I here colemnly deny the expression, ' that Polaad doomed to perish ;' it never escaped my lips. We did .11 that could possibly be done for that country. We Afered nur mediation—negotiations are still going on. We cannot reveal the secrets of the Cabinet, but we can iassert that that nation of heroes has not been abandoned by us. What sort of assistance could we send them ? Is it cannon, ammunition, arms ? Look at the map, and say by what road could we reach that ni , diternanean country without declaring a ar to Prussia, Aus tria, and the German Confederacy. By raising 500,000 men or did more for Poland than if we had marched directly to Fa assistance, by keeping the armies of hostile Powers on our frontiers. As to the recognition of Poland as a nation, 51 which rank no people has a better right to aspire, we tbought we could not effect what the great Norruleous the master of Lithuania, at the head of 300,000 men, and at Wilna, durst not attempt in 1812." M. Sebastian' then m imed to the satisfaction obtained by France from him who still reigned over Portugal, and defended the conduct of the ininlatry in refusing the crown of Belgium for the Duke of Nemours. He concluded by saying, that it was the total. von of the cabinet to persevere in the line of policy they had kretofore followed. M. LAMARQUE afterwards NM to oppose the project of .I , ldresa, and directed his most strenuous attacks 24inst the rnlniauy for surrendering Belgium to an English not withstanding the assertion to the contrary of N. Schmid/M. Then came a long attack oa England. (Left speaking.) ?" 11 . — Our situation with regard us 'Belgium is com plicating itself in a strange manner. Leopold, alarmed b 7 an unforeseen attack on the part et the Dutch, had thrown t...uoielf into the arms of France, and solicited Louis Phi. assistance. In conrequence of that demand, 50,000 French were put in motion on the northern frontier, and the ioterrentiun of our diplomacy saved Antonp from destrue. two, and thus deranged the strategical combinations of the Prince of orange. Illeanwhile the simple announcement of our arrival had terrified William's party in Belgium, and :named a hundredfold the ardour of the patriots. In that state of things, and just as our troops were pre paring to cto.% the frontier, Marshal Gerard unexpectedly ircri!ed a despatch from Leopold's Minister of Foreign •,I.fro!fv. Alm' complimenting Frame and the General, the .mnime r requests cf the latter to defer his entrace into Bel tun until the Minister of War of that country had entered .. , uo communication with him—a necessary condition before ..r entered into Belgium. The first result of this application was to delay the march 01 our . troops ; after which the Marshal sent o ff a courier to oar taidnet. This adjournment vaguely known yester day, produced a very bad effect. It was immediately said teat liri ish Government, alarmed at seeing us in feriae, a.

BELGIAN PAPERS. li.e Belgian Papers of Wednesday and Thurs (ay cottlirm, in every respect, the disgraceful flight of General Daine and his corps upon Liege ; but attempt to make light of the disaster, as the mere effect of a sudden and unaccountable panic.— The Morainic attributes The whole to the un- skilfulness of the Commander, if not to a worse motive . ; and the Independent states that the troops bad been without their rations for the 48 hours preceding. The cavalry in the rear, as the corps was marching upon Tongres, thought they heard the trampling of the 'Dutch troopers behind them ; and they set spurs to their horses, rode down their own infantry, which was before them. and horse and foot entered Liege pell-mell. The French army was advancing in three co lumns into Belgium. That of the right entered. Namur on Tuesday, and was expected to be at Liege on Wednesday : the centre column was advancing upon Brussels, and the third upon Tourney. The Dukes of Orleans and Ne-, mours bad already reached the capital, being met byGen.Belliard on the part of the King. It is said there are 40,000 volunteers following the French army. Office of the Mentiteter Beige, Two o'clock. Fresh intelligence, stripped of the exaggerating and discouraging description accompanying the first impulses of fear, have just been received from Liege. By this we learn that the defeat of the army of the Meuse in to be attributed to the great ignorance of the Chiefs. This fine army, in all the engagements which it had cn the preceding day with the Dutch, displayed the utmost eourage and ardour, and had not commenced a single con flict without coming off victorious. The majority of the officers became stupitied at seeing what took place in the ranks. Nothing could equal their disappointment. They accuse their superior officers of unskilfulness. For some days they have been demanding permission to fol low up the advantages they had gained over the enemy ; and they are mo.t anxious to return to the attack. From the Independent of Thursday. AV G usT 10.—We learn from Liege that a false alarm spread confusion among the ranks of the army of the Meuse, at the moment it was marching upon Tongres. The chasseurs and cuirassiers who formed the rear-guard fell upon the infantry, and general confusion ensued. Ihe regiment of lan cers was seized with a dreadful panic in consequence of this attack. The other squadrons of cavalry returned to Liege, without receiving any injury. It now appears that the army had been without provi sions for more than 48 hours. The Government of the province of Liege has published a proclamation which states that the army of the Meuse has not been defeated. During a manceuvreof Gen. Nine's, a panic, without any ap parent cause, but not without example amongst the best troops, seized upon a portion of the army, and obliged the General to retreat with the remainder, in the direction of Liege. The soldiers blame their officers, and the latter accuse their generals. This is always the case after an affair of this sort. You I should avoid giving to those surmises a reality which they do not merit. The Ponape of Liege of the 9th instant, con tains the following: In the course of the night, several thousand soldiers of all ranks arrived here in the greatest confusion. The army of the Meuse having received orders to fall back upon Tongres, commenced its march yesterday morning in the direction of that city. The troops of this division seemed full of confidence. On arriving within two leagues of Tongres, cries of alarm issued from the ranks of the cavalry which composed the rear guard. No enemy was in view, and only a few discharges of artillery were heard at a distance. At that moment the infantry, thrown into confusion by some of the cavalry officers, who wished to make way through the ranks, lost their presence of mind, and joined in the unaccountable movement which originated in the rear of the army. All our public places are filled with military men. The officers are now endeavouring to restore order to the different regiments. Each person is returning to his post, and in a few hours the army of General Mine will be as efficient as it was two days ago. The Courrier de la Meuse of Liege, dated the' 9th instant, has the following statement :—" No ! the army of the Meuse has not been beaten. The entire alarm ails caused by a few soldiers in the rear of the army, who, from some cause or other, commenced crying out without any cause, and this confusion was increased by the darkness of the night. We have been assured by several officers and soldiers that their retreat was in no way caused by the enemy." It is calculated that the Belgian army now at Louvain amounts to 30,000 men. The English flag is expected to make its appearance in the Scheldt. BRUSSELS, WEDNESDAY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. —The two sons of Louis Philippe have arrived in Brussels ; the Princes stopped at the Palace of the Regent, and were received there by M. Abenle naire. We have just been informed that 40,000 French volunteers follow the army. The greatest enthusiasm and most intense sympathy for the Belgian cause prevail among the French army and volunteers. Two o'CLoce.—General Belliard set out about one o'clock to-day for Mons, for the purpose of concerting measures with Marshal Gerrard. The Frenh army advancees in three columns ; that of the right entered Namur yesterday ; the out-posts of this column will arrive to-night at Liege. Se veral regiments belonging to the central column bad passed by Mom yesterday, and were rapidly ad vancing towards Brussels. The division which left Lille was to have made its entry into Tourney poring the course of yesterday. GERMAN PAP RS.—TH IS DAY. VIENNA, JULY 29.—1 t has been reported to day on 'Change that General Rudiger had passed the Vistula, with the view of effecting his junction with the main army on the left bank of that river. Letters from Warsaw, of the 20th, say nothing of the subject, but it is said that general despondency prevails in Warsaw, especially since the issue of the expedition to Lithuania, and the tragical end of General Gielgud, have been known. No possibility was seen of resisting for an, ndefinite time an enemy already far superior in strength, and who is daily becoming still stronger, and the wish to put an end to the effusion of blood, by some means or other, even by sub mission, were already expressed ; yet the the most zealous patriots seem to be animated by their old spirit, and the Generalia-Chief is said to preserve a calmness and confidence, which, while it shews both religious confidence and resig nation, is calculated to give courage to the weakest. Most of the members of the diet seem to have received assurances front their THE EVENING STAR. LONDON, SATURDAY. AUGUST 13. The Belgic Editors labour to apologize for the flight of their Army. which, it seems, wu not scared by the Dutch, but by its own shadow, or a want of confidence in its officers. The flight was, therefore, probably unknown to the Prince of °RAMON., for he does not appear to hare acted upon it. In the mean time, the French Princes have arrived at Brussels, and, in spite of an ungra cious message, the Army is advancing in three columns. Nothing, on Thursday morning, seems to have been known at Brussels of the suspension of hostilities. The Vienna news from Poland is, of course, io the tone of that from Berlin. It speaks of the passage of the Upper Vistula as an achievement ; though it is one which might have been effected any time within the last six months, the Vistula at the spot not being wider than the Thames at Richmond. Of course they operate northward, and it would seem that Nal LIVITSCU meditates a base of operations extending from Plotsk to Radom, the Poles by the Vistula being masters of the two sides of the tri angle, and Warsaw in its apex. If such a plan of operations succeeds by an army in a hostile country, and without supplies from home, it wi ' ll be a miracle—the greatest on record ! The French Chambers are debating the address on the speech, with the same anxiety as we are debating about the Reform bill. CASIMLR Piazza opened the discussion with a laboured apology foe his measures, and he spoke of Lours the XVII l's Charter imposed on the French by foreign bayonets, as the consummation of liberty ; but we know, that if the existence of such a document had been suspected, when Louis entered Paris, the trick would have raised France in arms. Lou is craftily substituted his charter for the conditions under which he was permitted to return, and the French from that time have considered the charter as a badge--not a trophy. They never quote the charter except against the Bourbons, on whom for good they consider it binding, but not as the limit of their rights and liberties. SILBAB max r dwelt on the low state of the French forces when the Ministry took office, and enlarged on the geographical difficulty of reaching Po land, and sustaining armies when there. Tn i Las spoke also as an advocate of the Minis tiro; but LARASIT, THOU VEN EL, CLAUSLL and LANARQUIL enlarged with energy on the other ,side; and on Tuesday, when the Estafette left Paris, LAztARQUa was left speaking in derruncia ties of the:Ministry. The Paris Correspondent of the Morning Herald states that " the deb tte in the Chamber of Depu ties has, up to *this moment, (Wednesday, half-past three,) been warm ; but every thing indicates that the Address, as it originally stood, will be carried. notwithstanding all the exertions of the cue gauche. I need hardly repeat, says he, therefore, that Poland is abandoned by France as by England, and that no general war will co ns eq uentl y take l place ; for I look upon the Belgic question as one capable of easy adjustment. It is not likely that the debate will close to-day. Lora Wynford made another essay with his biu last night ; but being opposed ►y Lord Plunkett, tad the otbar hiw lords expressing doubts, it was again postponed. If Lord Wynford were to pro pose a court of liberal arbitration 111 all cases provided fur by his bill, tl:e evils tronld be re- moved. without creating greater than he proposes to remove. In the Commons, Mr. Heywood presented a petition against taxes on knowledge, which Mr. Wilkes supported. Lord Morpeth presented petitions from Halifax, Leeds, and Dewsbury, hi favour of kill's Poor Laws. Col. Trench described his plan for enlarging the House, and extending the lobby and the seats for strangers. The present lobby is to be taken into the House, and a new lobby carried over the pre sent passages and useless spaces, as far as the door into Westminster Hall. It was much commended. Capt. Gordon said something about Libels and the Poor Man's Friend. Mr. Hunt said he dee.- pised Libels. The proposed rate of Toll on Steam-carriages was objected to by Mr. Dixon. Mr. Hunt presented some petitions from Preston against the Corn Laws, expressed in accordance with popular feeling, but strongly objected to by many members; and one passage about the British Lion trampling an obstinate parliament under foot, was objected to by Lord Althorp. On a division, only 6 voted for receiving them, and 130 against. On its being moved that the House go into the Reform Committee, Mr. Croker entered into a very elaborate view of the whole of the proceedings in regard to Holland and Belgium, his object being to show that the King of Holland had been neg lected and compromised, and was justified in the commencement of hostilities. Lord Palmerston replied also at length by a nar rative of facts, and justified himself for not open ing a letter addressed by the Dutch Government to the Conference, the bearer a Dutch Plenipoten tiary, not having made any intimation while con versing with Lord Palmerston, that his muter had then actually entered Belgium. His Lordship's answer was so satisfactory as to produce a general cheering. Lord Brudenell thought the King of Holland had not been respectfully treated, and that this country could not act with hostitity against him without indelible disgrace. He charged the Mi. nisters with levity and inconsistency. Lord Elliot thought the declarations of the King of Holland had throughout been clear and explicit, but ho had improperly not been considered in earnest. Mr. Croker, he said, slid not censure Lord Palmerston for not breaking open a letter, addressed to the conference, but fur not immedi ately calling the conference together. Lord Stormont maintained similar opinions. Sir George Murray at great length justified the King of Holland, who had been no party to the armis tice, only to, a cessation of hostilities. He also thought that a French army, headed by French Princes in Belgium, was fraught with danger. Lord Althorp objected to the expression of these doubts and surmises. Sir G. Murray, in reply, and Mr. Freed, and Sir C. Wetherell, also spoke in justification of the King of Holland. Mr. Croker's. motion for papers was then ne gatived ; but on again moving the Committee, be spoke again on the same subject at length, and Lord Palmerston shortly replied. The House then proceeded in the Committee, and Schedule G, which gives four Members to 25 large counties, was passed. Four were also as signed to two divisions of Lincolnshire. The 12th clause, giving to parts of counties the same rights as in whole counties, was opposed by Sir E. Sugden, amidst great confusion in the house; and it was finally withdrawn as superfluous. The 13th clause for 3 members to 7 counties then passed. After some incidental business and notices, the house adjourned at Too of Clock. The debate on Thursday evening, relative to the vulgar partizan Yeomanry of Ireland, was most creditable to the good sense and patriotism of the Irish Members, and a subject of no boast on the rut of English Members, who were returned by the honest people of England, to mete equal justice. Mr. Hume, Lord i),ncannon, and Mr. Hunt did their duty, and the speech of Mr. flume deserves to be posted through Mirld!eseN. It is a moat un happy circumstance that Ireland should be deemed a fit school fur young aspirants in politics; and of this fatal error of the system, all honest men who thought of their Con stituents, • aught to have considered, before they joined the Tories, to vote against the eoite of !Ash patriots, raised in behalf of their suffering country. The list of 233 Whiv)-Turies-and promising-patriots. ought t 3 be given to the world, while the 73 deserve to be regarded as the hopes of the Empire. If the Minis ters prefer the Irish Yeomanry to the Refotur Bill, the Irish Members ought to iudalge them; and put those in the wrong eho consider them selves so over-cunning in putting them in thel wrong. In our opinion the Irish yeomanry, and' . their deed's, are incompatible with the Reform Bill,—and of the two nuisances, we should kl:aum4t prefer evert the Rotten Boroughs to birch de fenders. Look to their touts at Cavlcw ! Or. such 'subjects there can, cud ought to be uu cursive ' mist. At a late hoar last night, despatches of great Lie portance were received at the Foreign Olive. in Downing-street, from Brussels, dated on Thursjav last, at which period French troops had entered that city. Despatches were this morning reeeive. at tla Foreign Office, express from Park. agents in Paris and London that a mediation by England and France will soon take place, the object of which is not only to restore the kingdom of Poland as it has subsisted since 1814, but also to secure the political independence of the ancient kingdom, with all its dependencies. That the Polish diplomatic agents in France and England labour to effect this object, is probable, that depending on many private expressions they may flatter them with attaining this object, and have communicated these hopes to' their friends in Poland cannot be denied, but it may be assumed as certain that these two powers which are on the most friendly terms with Russia would make no such proposal, should they consent to act as mediators. . VIENNA, JULY 30.—News has been received here this morning. through an officialchannel, that Gen. Rudiger has crossed the Vistula at Solce, and has pushed his advanced posts towards Radom.— This operation must have been executed with great ability, and the march of Gen. Rudiger to the Upper Vistula to have been concealed from the Poles, hence it is probable that the demonstrations towards Minsk was only a feint to conceal the march to Solce. As soon as Gen. Rudiger has taken measures for the subsist ence of his troops, he will seek to effect his junc tion with the main army, the whole of which is now on the left bank of the Vistula, with the exception of the troops coming to Lithuania, under Gen. Tolstoi. The scarcity of ready money begins to be tnuch felt in Warsaw, and greatly embarrasses the government. Since the departure of our troops from the Roman territory, there has not been any interruption of public tranquillity ; but a feeling of dissatisfac tion and a fermentation exist, which are the usual harbingers of scenes of disorder; and nobody doubts that the scenes will soon be renewed which lately endingered the Papal See, and led to the calling in of foreign aid. For, properly speaking, His Holiness Las scarcely any authority in the province. where n degree of indifference to all ordinances coming from Rome prevails, which manifestly shows the weakness of the Papal Go vernment. If this disregard of the legal autho rity should induce formal resistance to it. it is im possible to calculate to what complicated difficul culties the revolutionary disposition of the Romans might lead. irtnewa.

The Speaker took the Chair at twelve o'clock this day. Mr. Ross said he had a petition to present front S..otland, complaining of the del tv in passing thi Reform Bill. The SP FAKER SAW the lion.

Members would not by a side wind ends vour to give publicity to °lonians a belt could not be heard in that House. Mr. Ross then withdrew the petition. Mr. Cau IL Ea said. he wished to correct a 111:4- take that had arisen relative to the source from which he had derived his information,snd to which he had alluded in his observations last night. The fact was the two letters were both published in the Hague Gazette, one of which had appeared in the Morning Post on the 2d of August, and the other in the Standard. He thotrAt it necessary to make thus early the explanation, as publicity was given to every word uttered in that House. Mr. O'Cusll EL L said every thing said in that House respecting. Belgium received the utmost publicity, but the case was very different as re spected a part of the empire which appeared to be not worthy of notice. Mr. HUNT said the Times newspaper, which the Right Hon. Gentleman had quoted yesterday, re turned him the favour this morning by not only giving every word he had said, but had compli mented him for his ingenuity. Mr. lit; NT presented a petition from Sutton, in Cheshire, praying a repeal of the Corn Laws. He would never again take the trouble to read over a petition, but leave it to lion. members to ferret out the offensive passages. Sir IloaenT IN G Ll* thought after this observa tion, and what had occurred yesterday, the peti tion ought not to be received, as the Hon. Mem ber fur Preston had declared that the offensive pas sage in that petition was nut in the least disre spectful to the House. The petition was brought up and ordered to lie on the table. Mr. Hu NT said he should not move that the petition be printed. The Hon. Gentleman then presented a petition from the neighbourhood of Manohester, praying for a repeal of the Corn Laws. Mr. Joust %%root) said, whether the Reform Bill did or did not pass, he was confident that the question on the Corn Laws would not prove subordinate to that which now agitated the kingdom front one end to the other. Mt. BEN lITT said, if the Corn Laws were re pealed, wages would be lowered, and the labourers would be worse off than at present. Mr. HUNT was confident that the repeal of the corn laws would give a market to our manufac tures, and increase the demand for labour. He should move that the petition be printed.—Ordered.
