REIM; OT XII MAJESTY TO DILOSSILL Yesterday afternoon, about half-past five o'clock, the Aid-de-Camp of General de Tabor, Commander of the Forces at Antwerp, arrived at the Palace of the King at Liege with the following despatch : " Citadel of Antwerp, Aug. 1. " M. It General—ln conformity with orders from superior utherity, and which I have this day received, I have the honour to make you acquainted that, agreeable to the terms in the ratification of the convention which regulates the suspetuion of hostilities between the Citadel and the town of Antwerp, bearing date November 5, 1890 ; his Majesty the King of the Netherlands has decided on recommencing hos. tilitles ; tits suspension of hostilities with the citadel being thus denounced, as It le by this document, the renewal of hostilities will therefore take place upon these terms in 24 hours, viz. on Thursday the 4th day of the present month of August, at half-past nine in the evening. " In thus conftwming myself to these conventions, I cal. ciliate that the same will be equally observed on your part, and I ousht also to make you acquainted that should it not he strictly observed—that should our communications be in incepted, or works commenced by you during this period, I shall then proceed immediately to hostilities. Receive, Sir, the expression of my consideration. " The General of Infantry, Superior Commander of the Citadel of Antwerp, Baron Cleans." His Majesty having read the despatch, imme diately called a Council of such Ministers and Ge nerals as were with him ; fortunately General de Failly, the Minister of War, was amongst them. After a deliberation of about half an hour, couriers and ordinances were sent off to the different for tresses for all the troops that possibly could be spared to march to the frontiers. All the offieers and men who bad furloughs were also ordered to immediately join their regiments. It was also de cided that his Majesty should return without delay to Brussels, and horses were ordered for eight o'clock ; at which hour his Majesty left Liege,witb the Minister of War, in his carriage. It is impossible to describe the sensation the news created at Liege, and the shouts of " Vive le Roi !" at the King's departure, were stronger than at his entry. It appears the Dutch have already commenced hostilities, and hare taken three vil lages on the frontiers of Flanders. This morning all the artillery which by possibility could be col lected in this city and the surrounding towns were sent off for Antwerp. All the infantry, a great portion of the Civic Guard, and the Cbasteler Chasseurs had also left for the same place. The consternation of the inhabitants of Antwerp is dreadful ; they are flying in all directions, and the poor are removing their little furniture and clothing. Rey proceed as far out of town as possible. The King entered Brussels at half-past four this morning. His suite did not arrive till half-past ten for want of horses. Immediately an their arrival, a Cabinet Council was held, and afterwards a Council of War. His Majesty is expected to leave for Antwerp every instant. I shall follow him, and forward to you, by Estafette, all the proceedings of the army. It is expected the Dutch will imme diately attack Venloo, as they have raised their camp at Reyen, and moved lin that direction. Up wards of 500 carriages were employed for the purpose. General de Tabor and M. Charles Rosier have is sued proclamations to the troops and inhabitants in Antwerp. It was reported on the Exchange that the advanced guard of the Dutch army were already in the Belgian territory, and actually on the Fau bourg de Borgerhout. The funds at Antwerp, 'lthough not quoted, hare dreadfully fallen. The inhabitants of Brussels are very warm in the cause of their new King, and should his VlJesty be advised to issue a proclamation, ailing on the people to assist him, I feel satisfied that men, women, and children, would rise a masse. The question generally asked now is, 1 10 W will England and France act in this affair, or nt.ether Holland is backed by the other Powers ? The well-informed think that a general war is in- EVENING STAR. LONDON. FRIDAY. AUGUST 5. All kinds of reports have prevailed through the morning. 1. That CHAISE has recommenced the bombard ment of Antwerp. 2. That orders have been sent to the Ports, and to Admiral CODUINGTOW, to send suitable vessels to occupy the Scheldt. 3. That a message will propose an increase of the Navy. 4. That three Hungarian regiments have gone over in a body to the Poles. 5. That the new French Ministry will be formed from the extreme left, and Favrrrs resume the command of the National Guard. We have several arrivals from Paris this morn ing, but nothing definitive about the new ministry. The King clings to the TA.LLEY RA N D and Holy Alliance party ; and yet it is obvious that the ma jority in the Chambers are directly opposed to that system. To this majority he must of course sac. comb just as the Court of England succumbs in all similar cases. He might re-enact the part of CHA RLES X. and dissolve the Chambers ; but this would produce a second tenth of August. Hostilities between - - ig i rland and Belgium have undoubtedly commenced, though it is difficult to define the object. Prussia is no doubt the abettor of Holland, and the pusillanimity of PEatza has, probably, been counted on. Instead of overtures, LEOPOLD has only to send to the Dutch head quarters the decisions of the French Chambers, and his Dutch MAJESTY will instantly sound a retreat. The French Journals occasionally attack in strong terms all the continentalipowers ; but their most severe comments are directed against Austria, for her intervention in the affairs of Italy. The French on that occasion had a splendid and justi fiable opportunity to support the cause of liberty ; but their Government, it is well known, remained quiescent, although the French Journalists never understood the cause of its disgraceful apathy. We have been informed of a fact which at once ex plains the tortuous policy which actuated on that occasion. A few days after the last glorious revo -1 lution, Ambassadors were sent from Paris to an nounce to the different Cabinets of Europe, the ,elevation of Louis-PHILIPPE to the throne. The Ambassador who performed this duty at Vienna experienced rather an unexpected reception from Prince NIETTERNIcii. That Minister said to the French Ambassador, among other things, that if any person had now a legitimate right to the throne of France, it could not be the Duke of OaLasxs, but Son ALTESSE le Due de REICHSTADT—NA POLEON II; since his dynasty in Nsrotnow I. had beenelected to the regal dignity by the French people ; and if ever the old line of succession should be again interrupted, that NAPOLEON 11. became neceinarily Sovereign by right. After this declaration, what chance could there be for the revolution in Italy ? This was the powerful weapon—the double-edged sword—that the artful METTERNICH kept in his hand, as the instrument to cut all difficulties which might occur with the Government of Louis PHILIPPE. NAPOLEON the Second, Emperor of France BT EIGHT ! From that time all the wishes of Austria have been fulfilled, and the Government of Louis PHILIPPE has been most guarded in its conduct towards that power. On the late harlequinade which took place at the opening of the Chambers, between the Duke of ORLEANS and M. de Simon viLLE, and which was got up between Marshal SODLT and the Duke, without the privity and much to the annoyance of C. PERIER, the Ambassador of Austria at Paris was much offended, and the King was obliged t o make his own son, S.A. R. Monseigneur the Duke of ORLEANS, repair to the boom of the Minister and Banker, to offer an apology for his ridiculous conduct. It is thus evident that the combined powers, more particularly Austria, hold a powerful chock in tbeirovrn lands to restrain the present French King; but within these few days the Prenek.diplomatists have been attempting to exercise a similar check on the combined powers ; and what is curious, from the same materiel, or family. The King of HoL• LAND has been given to understand, that if he persist in his present resistance to Prince LEO POLD, even his throne wiU be endangered ; for that a party exists in Holland in favour of Louis BUONAPARTE, and the Queen of HOLLAND and her eon are pointed to in London, as confirmatory of this hint. In the House of Pints, Lord ELDON stated that the new bill of the CHANCELLOR was alto gether unnecessary, since affidavits filed after seal day could be read in appeal cases at any time. The LORD CHANCELLOR expressed satisfaction at being sanctioned by this authority, and agreed to suspend the bill. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY resumed his inquiries about the royal reception of Donna MA RIA at Portsmouth; and Lord GREY explained that the instructions had been only verbal ; and that, as she had been acknowledged as Queen of Portugal by the late King and Ministry, she was received like other royal foreigners. The coal duties and Irish tobacco prohibition bills advanced a step each. , Lord ELDON deplored the defeat of'tfie prosecu tion of Mr. O'CoN N ELL, and proposed to bring in a bill to prevent similar results in future ! In the House of Commoss, the Coleraine Com mittee unseated Sir Jortx BRYDO Es, and declared Mr. W. T. COPELAN D duly elected. Petitions were presented, praying for the greater dispatch of the reform bill, which led to a long discussion, in which Mr. STANLEY and others admitted the justice of the complaint, and Mr. W. WYNN, Sir R. Vl' v Taw, &c. juatiEsd the delay. Mr. ATTWOOD spoke at length on the undue and illegal collection of the Vine Duties, before they were sanctioned by tho House of Commons, and moved for a copy of the authority given to the Board of Customs. Lord A LTIIO nv pleaded usage, and moved for all similar orders, in like cases, since 1800. Mr. ROBINSON agreed with Mr. ATTWOOD, that no resolution of the House ought to be per mitted to have the force of an Act of Parliament. Mr. Gotunuaw, Sir C. WETHERELL, Mr. CA L LAGHAN, and others, protested also against the practice, and the amended motion was agreed to. Mr. ATTWOOD then moved for an account of the sums thus improperly obtained, which was agreed to. In the REFORM COSIMITTEE, WOLVERHAMP TON, BILSTON, &c. Were adopted in C, alter some speeches from Mr. CROKER and alma. The TOWER HAMLETS led tb a further debate, in which Sir E. SUODIP, Sir R. PEEL, Sir. C. WETHERELL, Mr. P. Lewis, Ice. took part •on one side, and were answered by Lord ALTIIORP, and Aldermen Woo D and WATERMAN, when they were included. FINSBURY produced nine speeches, ems of length, and was then agreed to. MARY-LE-BONNE and PANCRAS were adopted without opposition. LAMBETH, in like manner , which finished this schedule. Lord MILTON then gave notice that in the next clause D, be should propose that the several places named should return two instead of one, u now proposed. Mr. LITTLETON moved that Stoke and the Potteries should be included in C. And after a long debate, a division took place, 145 for it, and 246 against it, but Lord JOHN RUSSELL con sented to assign one to Stcke. Lord MILTON then moved his amendment two to for one in the twenty-six places in Schedule D. Sir F. BURDETT opposed any alteration. Mr. HUNT was severe on the thick-and-thin support given Sir FRANCIS. Mr. STRICKLAND con tended for Lord MILTON'S plan. Lord MOIIPETH pleaded for the bill, as it had been arranged with due balance of interests. Sir R. PEEL approved of Lord MILTON'S principle, as did Mr. %ism The house then divided, 102 to 238 in favour of the original ONE; and adjourned at near two o'clock as usual ! • Nothing can be more afflicting than the sight and contemplation of the thousands, aye the tens of thousands, of ingenious and industriously-dig posed artisans, who are now walking the streets of the Metropolis, searching for employment, without being able to find any. Their situation is truly melancholy, as well as that of their wires and children. Nor are they of one or two classes or trades, but (44 ; and they consist of thou sands of Carpenters, Bricklayers, Stone-masons, Plasterers, Painters, Smiths, Taylors, Shoemakers, Printers, Pressmen, Coachmakers, &c. dec. This we know to be a subject, which earnestly, though silently, calls for the profound attention of Statesmen and Philanthropists, but not of Political Economists, whose theories have been a chief cause of these heart-rending miseries. The whole subject is well known to the different departments of the Police ; and if it is not brought under the cognizance of Government and Parliament, there is criminality or apathy in theme to whom such matters are an immediate concern.

We understand that one of his officers arrived yesterday with despatches from him to our Government, no doubt to ask for naval assistance, to proceed to the Scheldt, to keep open that river. We must now wait for another express from Paris, to be informed of the result of the final settlement of the new Ministry. By some it is imagined they will mostly consist of the War party ; and if Soult does not take the lead, he will be Commander-in-Chief of the army. In the present critical situation of affairs in France, it would be wise in the King of France to have all the great Marshals as his Ministers, with the ex ception of one—the Minister of Finance.

TO THR EDITOR 01 #lll STAR. SIR-I am weary of hearing that, to protect trade and commerce, arrest for debt must be al lowed. If credit be given by merchants and shop keepers, on tho supposition that the security of their property is protected by the power of arrest, I am prepared to rest my case on the proof that far from Icing any security, it has caused the rein of those that advanced money or sold goods depend ing that this remedy against their debtors afforded than any eteurity. As between merchants and traders the bankrupt laws supersede arrest, or at least imprisonment for debt, and if I were even to admit that the power to arrest encouraged or supported credit, this very admission would act against those that are advo cates in favour of arrest and imprisonment for debt. To prove this I need only to refer to the dividend.: -eceived by creditors proving debts under bankrupt et•triroi , i• lons. Now, as to pereons obtaining credit who are not merchants or traders, I am very certain those who lend money or deliver goods to such individuals, expecting that by arresting their debtors they shall be paid, are miserably deceived, and the sooner the fallacy can be removed the better for the creditor. Look to the Insolvent Court, where arrest and im prisonment is, I may say, the only condition per formed by the insolvent to entitle hint to his discharge. If out of the many millions inserted in the schedules of debtors, creditors have not been able to recover quite so much as one halfpenny out of the pound sterling, are we not bound to end such delusion ? I love thus, Mr. Editor, performed my engage ment, and proved that to protect creditors from ruin, arrest and imprisonment for debt ought to be abolished. . A RETIRED SHRRIFIrS OFFICER.

WIN WINDSOR.A cc . 4.—At half-past seven &cloak yesterday evening, their Majesties arrived at the Castle. Lord and Lady Clinton arrived shortly after theit Males. ties, with whom they had the honour of dining and passing the evening. The pony landau, phaetons, and saddle horses were in redinesa at three o'clock this aftemnoon, when their Majesties proceeded to take their usual exercise. The Melina of Gloucester and the Landgravine accompanied the King in the pony landau, and the Queen rode on horseback. The Princes' Augusta paid a visit to their Majestic.' thi,i forencon, after which she returned to Fenimore Lodge. After the breaking up of the Council (mentioned in the STAR yesterday), Mona. Fakir, the Ambassador from the Netherlands, and the Baron Zeylar de Unevelt, on a special mission from the King of the Netherlands, had a long conference with Viscount Palmerston at the Foreign Office. Afier the departure of their Excellencies, the Au.. trian, French, and Russian Ambassadors, the Prussian Minister, and the Austrian Envoy Extraordinary, held a ennferenee for loose hours with Viscount Palmerston, at the office of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. Mons. Van des Weyer ' the Minister from Belgium, had also an interview with Viscount Palmerston. The King has at length determined on the com pletion of Buckingham Palace, and that it will henceforth form the residence of the British Court. It has been esti matel that what remains to be done to the Palace, to make h in a suitable state for the reception of their Majesties and the Royal suite, can be accomplished by an expenditure ut 70,0001. General Lord Comouniin in -Chief, finished his military tour, in the Kent district, • Saturday last.

K.C.B. and G.C.M. inspected, on the 31th ult. the Cavalry Depot, at Maidstone. The Cavalry detachments, composed principally of the Cavalry Regiments serving at present in India, were drawn out early in the morning in open order, and on the arrival of the Commander-in-Chief, on the presented arms. The General - in-chief , accom by his staff then rode to the right of the line, pissed down the bent and rear of the line, inspecting most minutely, as he rods along, the condi tion of the men and the state of the bones. During this in spection, Lord Bill, who, independently of his personal staff, was attended by the Commandant, the Assistant-Com mandant, the Riding-master, the Adjutant, the Quarter mae ter and the Veterinary-surgeon of the depot, to whom he severally addressed himself as the different circumstances re. quired, concluded his inspection of the different depots, and subsequently took his Madan in frontathe cane sidle line.

The man, seeing she was in a fair to get up, also seised bold of him and her; and in his endeavour to get up, pulled the woman down, and they both snub. The barge sunk in the mean time.—The President now ordered the Court to be cleared, and after a short deliberation it was again opened, when the Judge Advocate, after the usual preliminaries, announced that it was the unanimous opinion of the Court that the accident arose front the ignorance of Richard Powell, the pilot, and that no blame was attached to Lieut.
