a of M In og as Ch OS WO of ua in in be ad all ian Dm 40 in- Est es• Sot conquer the people, they are determined to ruin their country as far as possible. They visit it with fi re , pestilence and the sword; while Europe con nives, assists, or with dastardly apathy, looks on. A letter from Ltsacrw, of the 23d, given in ne Times of this morning, states that the plague has broken out iIt.GIIIIIALTAI The warlike posture assumed by Holland, its c auses and its results, are the subjects which na turally occupy the conjectural sagacity of every po l it i c i an ; and the French journals, as will be seen d y our extracts, are all drawing their deductions from the facts, according to the bias of the party to which they are attached. A Morning Contem porary has said, that the question as to the King of HOLLAND'S movement, lies between " the utter phrenry" of that Prince, and an " excess of per fitiv and depravity" in one or more of the great Continental Powers. But we are inclined to think that the step taken by the King of HOLLAND is not one of " phrenzy," but of deep policy ; and as to the other alternative, which regards the motives of the great Continental Powers, we are never in clined to attribute a scrupulous integrity to the di plomacy and policy of statesmen. To judge of acts, we should primarily form an ,pinion of motives. We conceive that the object desired by Holland, and, probably, the other conti nental governments, is to try once more the chances of war in the cause of what has been termed legi timacy ; and an efficient combination cannot be formed, unless England can be involved against France. That object, therefore, is all important. If we admit this as a postulatum, let us then view in what way the apparently rash movement of the Krim of HOLLAND may have a tendency to pro duce the result of rupture between England and France. The Kiwo of HOLLAND must have known, when fie made this display of war, that it might be met by MI entry of French troops into Belgium, and of British ships into the Scheldt; and what so likely w produce the result to which we have alluded ? A numerous French party exists in Belgium, to welcome and fraternize with the French troops, at the same moment that the mouvement party has attained ascendancy in the French Chambers ; for such, notwithstanding temporary appearances, may be taken as the fact. The old boundary of the Rhine is, it is well known, one of the avowed demands of that party ; and, however pure may be the views of those who order the French troops Into Belgium, other views may actuate those who probably may have to order their retreat. Let us 'oppose, then, an abandonment of the protocol established throne of LEOPOLD—brought about, find apparently compulsorily, by the ascen dancy of the French party in Brussels. What kind of terms would then, probably, exist between the French and the British with the fleet in the Scheldt ? Evidently, a collision could not be avoided, and that collision is what the King of HOLLAND wishes to produce—perhaps, too, at the secret instance of Russia, Prussia, and Austria. The state of the Continent as to the tendency of public opinion in the masses, is not such as to render the termination of such a war of principle probably favourable to those who would so combine ; but such a struggle is not devoid of contingencies which might render it successful ; or at least suffi ciently so in appearance to encourage them to make the venture, who must perceive already before them circumstances ultimately to prove equally destructive of their power. France is almost as vulnerable, from the machinations of discordant parties, within itself, as it was early in the first revolution; and a combination externally against her, if they have lost some means of an noyance, have gained others. We alluded, on a former day, to the use which might be made, and uhich had already been threatened, by Austria, of the BUONAPARTE Talisman. The friends of the lately expelled dynasty are neither so contemptible in number or activity as some may imagine. Their policy is to support, or rather goad on, the Repub lican party, or even the BONAPA&TISTI, rather than quiescently suffer to settle into secure and arcing government, the present popularly chosen Monarch —possessing, as he apparently does, the support of Great Britain. To separate, there fore, France from England is, no doubt, a most important object of all who are primarily, or secondarily interested, in repressing the progress of free institutions in France. The influence of this policy in the parties in this country should not be kept out of sight. Bring into hazard any of those points which have been considered vital to British commerce, such as the t -. .cheltlt question, and you raise a stalking-horse war party—which party, whatever the friends peace may think, will be a powerful one u to noise arid influence in the City of London, should its standard be raised with a plausible war-whoop attached to it. Foreign entanglement may anxious bt looked to,as a means of deverting from reform, as it was too successfully proved in the first 'evolution. Let us hope, however, that the King HOLLAND may withdraw--that the movement to the Scheldt may not be necessary— and that the wisdom of our present government, with that of Fiance, may avoid all the manoeuvres and ambuscades which surround them, we fear, in all quarters. ......—.... The House o f Col — l MONS o n Saturday confirmed the Bill in regard to Weisel, Whit haven and Kendal. An amendment was moved that Sifting wo should be added to Whitehaven and Work ington, but a division of 104 to 60 decided for the' original arrangement. Some other places were then named as fit to be , added to 1), as Toxteth Park, Penzance, and Wey mouth, separately from Melcombe-regis. Bat Miniaters, wisely determined as they are to admit no pretexts for debate or delay, resisted alteration; and hence a dozen places, and among others Chel sea, will remain to be added at some future period. We believe that Chelsea, which contains between 5 and 6,000 houses, at above 101. has been passed over on account of a presumed influence of the Hospital ; but this arises from ignorance of the locality. Last night, the proceedings, especially in the Commons, were interesting from the topics, but as devoid as usual of those displays of commanding talents which in the last generation used to dis tinguish this House. We could name twenty Members, who between 1770 and 1800, would not have slept so long on the Polish question as the whole of the present Parliament ; nor so long on the distressed state of all the industry of the, country, and on the inadequate pay of the labour ing classes; nor on the late partizan atrocities in Ireland ; nor on the ruin which is falling on , most of our Colonial interests. It is not to be dissembled, that there is a want of originality and commanding talent in the present House of Com mons, not only in comparison with former periods, but in regard to the actual condition of the country, which demands, but in vain, such exer tions in its Representatives as accord with the im proved intelligence of the age. The people ad vance ; but from some cause, truly to be deplored, their representatives appear to retrograde, instead of rising in intellectuality with their constituents. A very unexpected decision of the Dublin elec tion committee, has unseated the two patriotic members for that city, accompanied by a very omi nous special report, as follows : " Resolved I. That Robert Harty, Esq. the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor of Dublin, and Lewis Perrin, Esq. were not duly elected citizens to serve in the present Parliament. " Resolved 2. That the last election for the City of Dub lin is null and void. Resolved 3. That the petition against this return does not appear to this Committee either frivolous or vexatious. 64 Resolved 4. That the opposition to this petition does not appear to the Committee either frivolous or vexatious. " Resolved b. That R. liarty, Esq. the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor of Dublin, and Lewis Perrin, Esq. had, through their agents, been guilty of bribery at the last election. " Resolved 6. That certain individuals holding official situations, who were considered to be connected with the Government, did, in contravention to the orders and rules of the House of Commons, exercise undue influence at the last election for citizens to serve in parliament for the City of Dublin. And, .. .. . . . • " Resolved, lastly. That the Chairman, on presenting this report, be instructed to move that the report be printed, and also the evidence upon which it is founded." On its being moved that a new writ be issued, Mr. HLJWT, one of the Committee, suggested delay, on which Mr. PELHAM moved a delay of a week, and was seconded by Mr. O'CONNELL, who stated that although 1,500 freemen were created on this occasion, 4,000 had been created on another occasion ! He alleged also that money had been sent over by the Tory party. He and Mr. Ceest ?TON exonerated the members of Go vernment. A long conversation then arose in which 20 members took part, but it was at length decided that the writ should issue immediately by 76 to 51. Various petitions were then presented from dif ferent places in Ireland in favour of Poor Laws, and against different abuses. Mr. HUNT presented a petition from Manches ter, claiming a lower rate of franchise ; another from the National Union of the Metropolis against property qualifications, transportation (or emigre tion) laws, and starvation (or corn) laws. Mr. HUAI', Mr. FERGUSON, Mr. PORTMAN, and Colonel TORRENS, author of works on political economy, severally justified the emigration schemes. The petition was read, and it prayed that Canada might be colonized with the idle, luxurious, and titled mendicants of the aristocracy, who lived here on the industry of others. Mr. HUNT then presented a petition iron the Westminster Union, which objected to the 10,0001. grant to the Princess VICTORIA, and prayed that she might be made Bishop of DERRY, and be en titled to half the revenue on residing in the diocese. It was not received. Mr. HUNT then presented a fourth petition. It was from the Westminster union, complaining of Lord PALMERSTON'S silence on their application in favour of Poland. Lord PA LMERSTON justi fied his silence on such a state subject; but Mr. Hurts enlarged with force and feeling on the claims of Poland to British support. Lord PAL MERSTON stated that the obligations of existing treaties would be fulfilled. Mr. O'CON N ELL then spoke at length. on the sympathy due to the Poles, and said the people of England were indignant at the neglect of so brave a people struggling for their freedom. Sir R. IxoLis objected, on several accounts, to printing the petition. Colonel LAcEv spoke of his tardy motion, and again compromised the Polish cause, by giving notice of further postponement! Mr. Rom maw objected to the printing, and Lord ALT Holt P agreed with him. Lord G. Bzw rzK sought for information in regard to the avowed object of the French invasion of Belgium ; and Lord ALTMORP satisfactorily replied, that as soon as the Dutch troops retired within their own boundaries, the French were pledged to retire into France. lord ALTDORP then moved for a Committee on the Game Laws Bill ; and in it, that vendors should take out a 21. certificate, which was carried. A longconversation then ensued on differentclatmes, and one was added, that no certificate for selling is to be granted to inn, tavern, and public-house keepers, or to coachmen, guards, or carriers. The clause to enable large farmers to appoint game keepers was struck out. The Kent Annuity Bill was read a second time ; and a Bill for National Education in Ireland, brought in by Mr. Wres, when the House ad. journed at near Three o'clock.

A modern author has well observed that liberty will not descend to a people ; a poople must raise themselves to liberty ; it is a blessing that must be earned before it can be enjoyed. That nation cannot be free where reform is a common hack, that is dismissed with a kick, the moment it has brought the rider to his place, as was the case with William Pitt, and some others since his time, who came into power under the mask of reform, and then threw off their disguise, and appeared like moles with the dirt on their heads. That na tion, says the same author, cannot bo free where the parties are but different roads leading to one common destination, plunder. That nation can not be free where the rulers will not feel FOR the people until they are obliged to feel with the people, and then it is too late. That nation can• not be free where the rogue that is in rags is kept in countenance by the rogue that is in ruffles, and where from high to low, from the lord to the lacquey, there is nothing realised but corruption, and nothing contemptible but poverty ; where both patriot and placemen, perceiving that money can do every thing, are prepared to do every thing for money. _ I can assert, from long experience, that this has been in a great measure the disgraceful and en slaved state of our own country, from the com mencement of the American war to the present time. Perhaps some of the members of your patriotic band are old enough to remember me when I was the first Secretary to the Society for Constitutional Information in the year 1782, at which time, and since, I caused to be distributed gratis by order of the society, many thousands of political tracts in all parts of the kingdom. That truly virtuous and most persevering of all patriots, Major Cartwright, was the father of the society, and the then Duke of Richmond, justly styled friend to equal laws, was its patron ; and though these illustrious individuals, and their highly dis tinguished associates in the cause of freedom hare not lived to reap the fruit of their labours, I and my worthy friend Mr. Thomas Hardy, as well as his enlightened fellow sufferer in the cause of re form, Mr. Thelwall, and some few others, are left to behold with delight the seeds which we, in our several ways, contributed so largely to sow, at last I springing up with such rapidity and vigour, under the genial rays of a patriot King, as to promise a speedy and plentiful harvest of moral good ; but in order to separate the wheat from the tares, that hydra of corruption, the boroughmongeroligarchy, must be effectually cut up, root and branch, other wise it will again sprout up, and produce horrors not to he described. As the boroughnionger despots have plundered from us the fruit of our labours, and shared it with foreigners of etery de scription, we are as anxious to get rid of them as our forefathers were to rid themselves of another species of wolves which once infested our laud ; and, as we are looking to a reformed parliament to be relieved from our heavy burthens, by the re duction of exorbitant salaries, and the abolition of useless sinecures, plurality of livings and un merited pensions, your very meritorious conduct in watching the progress of the Reform Bill, and urging the King's ministers to do their duty, in spite of their comparatively feeble but troublebome opponents, has given great satisfaction to your countrymen at large, and to none more than Your aged Fellow-Citizen, THOMAS TRATE& _ _ _ Middle Temple, Aug. 5, 1831.

The ICing of Belgium addressed the following farewell coder to the 6th (or Princess Charlotte of Wales's) Dragoon Guards the day before he left Ragfland Claremont, July It, lin. The Prince Leopold is desirous, in quitting Engles& to oommunicate to his Regiment that the drew:mutat:es which call him to another country has made it necessary for him to relinquish their command ; and he has reserved it as one of his last and most painful duties to bid them farewell. it would have been his Royal Highness's wish on this occasion to hate expressed personally to the Regiment his regret in leaving them, and the sincere wishes he shall always enter tain for their happiness and welfare, but their distant quer. I ten and the hurry which unavoidably attends his departure render such a desire impracticable. In taking leave of a regiment it has been his happiness for so many years to command, many subjects press on his Royal Highness's attention that he would be anxious pub. Rely to advert to • some of these bear paramount claim to his thankfulness and recollection, and it is such that he is chiefly solicitous to notice and record on this last occasion of his addressaing them. He alludes particularly to the uniform maintenance of discipline, e ffi ciency, and high cha racter which have marked the corps as one of the most distils. plaited in the service throughout the long period he has known them. This has been conspicious whether considered with re. meet to their efficiency in equipment, their discipline and con. duct in quarters, or movements and perfection in the field. In every point these have been eminently and invariably sup ported, and hare established a name to th e reg iment, that as it should be the first ambition, so is it among the hi?heat rewards, a soldier can know. To Lieut.-Colonel Wallace, whose seal and knowledge of the service has guided and perfected this state of discipline—to the officers who have so ably and successfully devoted their efforts to uphold it to the non-commissioned officers and privates who have maintained the discipline marked out to them, and, that. lug the feelings of their officers in the character of the regiment, have by their conduct assisted to uphold it— to one and all, individually and collectively, his Royal High , ness returns his most hearty thanks, with his unqualified approbation of their conduct under every view of discipline 'or exigency of service. To such officers, and to such men, it is unnecessary to say any thing that can urge or stimulate theit future seal. His Royal Highness feels assured that their Sovereign's approbation will ever remain their first aim, while the name of the Regiment, deeply honoured by them and cherished in their hearts, will never cease to influence them in attaining that high distinction. His Royal High. nese has always felt pride in being one of their members, and rte can never cease to feel the truest interest in whatever can affect their name as a corps, or their welfare and hap. I pines, Al individuals, and, with his heartfelt wishes for the uninterrupted prosperity and perfection of both, he reluc tantly bids them—Farewell The reserve companies of the 60th Rifles at Dublin have exchanged their quarters from the Pigeon House to George's. street barracks, where they expect to remain the rest of the year. A draft, consisting of fifty men from the depot of the 29th, at Beggar's Bush barracks, have replaced the depot of the Rifles at the Pigeon House. Captain Gordon's Company of the 92d Highlanders have moved from George-street to Richmond barracks.-1 This distinguished corps expect an immediate route from this City. Major-General Sir J. Cameron, with his two sons, left Devooport garrison, for Lincoln ; the command of the western district devolves on Co. Birch, Royal Engineers. ' A detachment of the 36th Regiment, under the Command of Captain Maxwell, embarked on Wednesday last on board the Messenger steamer, for Pendennis Castle, to relieve a de- ' tachment of the 73d Regiment, who will rejoin that depot in this garrison. The Ist Division of the ts.ti Battalion of the Grenadin regiment of Guards, marched on Monday last from London for Bristol, on route to Dublin. _ _ _ The Ist Division embarked on the 6th instant, at Bristol, for Dublin. The let Division of the Scotch Fusilier Regiment of Foot Guards will, on being relieved in Dublin by the Ist Divi sion of the Grenadier Regiment of Guards, embark fo► England. SPORTS 'NAMES. Yesterday was a bull day on old Father Thames ; but the grand attraction for the amateurs was the match from Putney to Richmond by two pair of Waterman. This contest had the effect of rendering the river comparatively clear of gen tlemen who frequent aquatic sports at the matches at Lam. beth and Quernhithe, where the men belonging to the stairs rowed for wherries given by the inhabitants. W hen we have to render up an account of several matches, it is matter of consideration upon which to begin. However, as there was a greater degree of novelty between the watermen's match from Putney to Richmond, combined with the fact of its having caused many hundred persons to assemble on the river, many of whom had large sums depending, we shall at once proceed to give the contest. WATEIHSCH'S MATCH roes .I'2o.—This match arose out of the one for Mr. Kean's boat at Richmond. When it was understood that Hammerton and Lee, of Twickenham, were to contend for the T , Lagedisn's Prize Wherry, it caused • deal of conversation among the Richmond men, and their merits as to stamina and rowing qualities being broached among other subjects, it was whispered that the two Jack. sons, of Richmond, were better men. The Jackson. also con sidered no too, and they offered to row against Hammertoe and Lee for a 101. note of their own money. This was answered by a friend of the latter party, and ultimately 201. was placed in the hands of a gentleman, who, by mutual consent, was appointed stakeholder. Yesterday was the day named to row, each man rowing a pair of sculls, and the distance from Putney to Richmond with the tide. After the match was made, Hainmerton and Lee won Mr. Ban's wherry, which had the effect of raising them in the estimation of their Twickenham friends, and the betting became ex ceedingly brisk. About half.past two o'clock the men ape peered at Putney in the bent wager boats that could be selected. Several galleys were manned on the occasion, and accompanied the match, as did also many amateurs. Hammerton and Lee, in going away from the bridge. were decidedly the quickest, and consequently had the start. The Jackson., however, " gave way " in good style, and opposite the Bishop of f ondon's came " bang^ upon the quarters of their opponent.. From this place up to Barnes the boats were stein and stern. Hatornevon and Lee were unquestionably the better workmen ; and, by the science they were masters ot. they succeeded in pre venting, for • length of time, their powerful opponents from going by them This so enraged the Jackson. that they,m vend times, endeavoured to sink the others, in doing which the boat of Haminerton and Lee shipped a quantity of water. Every manmuvre was put in prune: by the Jackson.; cacti quarter of their opponents' boat was tried, and they occa sionally dropped slightly sateen its order to give addi tional impetus to their boat :tun a "run down" was intended, but all without succe-it. At length this bar- Taming work was put an end to, and in a manner truly novel. OF Barnes the Jackson. had rather the best of me fouling ; but their progress was impeded by one of the sculls which had been placed against the back of IlAttimerton, nut being easily got sway. This, it was evident, only prevented their going in advance. It was no Bonner observed. than up went the scull out of the runnel, and lett to its fate, and another which the Jackson,' had taken the precaution to take with them, was put in requisition. The Jackson@ then took the lead, and maintained it the entire distance. The others in coming in were not above eight boats' lengths astern. It wan an excellent match, one hour and ten minutes were occupied in rowing it. QV rENHITHE RITHATTA.....The following waternien, belonging to Queenhithe stairs, yesterday contended tor the lath an• ual prim whiney and other prim given by the h. Ital.stat.tp of the ward and its vicinity, via. Joitrith Jeffs, purple; Jame Mint, orange ; (leo. 31artin, green ; Edward Bourne, pink ; John Das is, scarlet ; Henry Colcombe blue. . _ _ . Ilessrs. Colcombe and Tree were .he managers, and their direction per great satisfaction. A barge was moored off the mails tor the subsaibert, which was crowded. The match ootunienced by Purple, Green, and Scarlet taking their Pt a I iern• tar die Ann heat to row from buoy. moorto off Queetthithe, round a boat beat ioned of Muni. Calvet'► brewhouse, up the north shore through Meekly's.. Whig,. down through the centre arch of Southwark Ben*, round the above named boat, and up to the prise wherry off the stairs at Queenhitbs► Scarlet obtained the lead, Green was a good 'wend. and Purple was close in the tear of Owen. In coating up, Purple overhauled Green, and turned hiss round down. Starlet kept the lead throughout, and Green same to second, about two boats' lengths in the rear. Purple was all "aback." _ _ U~ she rrtWoi but the tbree when started. Pink wont away as the leading man. Orange was sealed, and blim third. They tams in in this manner. It was @Tidos that orange did not do his hest—ths mesa plan bang so goad as the fins—kr the two first mos In rash hat sowed for the third or grad heat for the wherry. Scarlet, Pavia, Change. sod Ptak rowed the last hat. about a qiiitter past seven o'clock. Orange, at starting, drew in advance, followed by Scarlet, but the latter was not enabled to come within a " painter's length^ of the leading boat, and as Orange had nothing to fear from the others, he won the wherry easy. Scarlet u second received 41. Purple has third. 41. and Pink as fourth, 21. The law roan of the first and second heats received each 11. Several barites being moored abreast of each other on the east side of the stairs, caused much confusion, and several fellows, who were rowed about by a m an named Taylor, of below bridge. ap peared to be highly amused by insulting the spectators. LANSETH REGATTA.—The ladies and gentlemen of the parish of Lambeth, yesterday, gave their eleventh annual prize wherry, to be rowed for by the free water men of Lambeth-stairs in three heats. The men's namu were as follow : William Shelton and John Maynard. yellow; Charles Maynard and John Jackson, scar l et ; Th omas Byford and William white ; John Allen and William Haw kins, green ; Louis Richards and William Brno!, pink; Rdward Perry and William Richards, blue. The whole of the above men started in the first heat from off Lambeth Stairs to row round a boat at Nine Elms, down the Surrey shore to Copland's Timber Wbarf, and back to the Stairs. At Vauxhall they were upon even tennis with each other, but Yellow first showed themselves round flye distance boat; Scarlet was second, 'White third, Green fourth, Pink fifth, and Blue sixth. There was no alteration after. wards. It is rather curious that they came in precisely 1.1 the same manner as they were stationed. In the second heat all hut the two first boats in the abore beat rowed. Blue shortly obtained the lead and kept it throughout ; Pink was second, White third, and Green A very sharp contest took place up the Surrey ahrre, gel there was not half a boat's length difference in the four boats. White made a grand effort to cut off the second bolt by going outside some craft, while the others took the inside course. The " binman," however, was obliged to unslitp his oar, and this effort failed. Yellow, Scarlet, Blue, and Pink rowed the last heat.— Although this was the grand struggle, nothing took place to render it interesting ; for Yellow get the star, and continued first the entire distance; Scarlet came in second, Green third, and Pink, who had slightly injured themselves by hard rowing, fourth ; Yellow received the wherry, and the prizes of 31.41 31. 21. and 11. 10s. were distributed among the others. Messrs. Noulton and Maynard were the ma. nagers, and, under their dirt ction, every thing went off with saufaction. They expressed themselves evceedingly grateful on behalf of themselves and brother watermen, for tl.e libel rality and patronage of the subscribers to their annual rlatta. CORNISH WRESTLING, EAGLE TAVERN.—The annual Cornish %Vending for various prizes given by subscription, commenced yesterday under the auspices of tine weather, and the patronage of many of the Nobility, and afforded to them, as well as to some hundreds assembled to grieves the sports, a fine display of Cornish science. Stacey, of Corn wall; and Milan, of Devon, first entered the ring, followed by Smith, of Cornwall, and Finney, of Ireland, with many others of notoriety. To particularize each point sued.: by these " Masters of the Arts," would exceed our limits, and u the win k of the standards are expected to be made this day, we would advise those who delight in tho sport to wit ness the play. ROBRERIES AND CRIMES LAST IrREIT.I • DARING •ND EXTENSIVE ROSIE RT.—Between Thor.- day night and Friday morning last, the premises of Nle , stir. Quiller and Company, army contractors, and tailors to his Majesty. South St. Andrew -street, were broken into, at 41 cash and bills stolen therefrom to the amount of neatly 400 i.

On Tuesday, Mr. William Fletcher arrived at the Belle Sausage, Ludgate-hill, from Manchester, and was recom mended by another passenger to go to a respectable house 14 the Blackfriars-road. They went there together, and on the following day they went to view the public built:llgs, he. One morning Mr. Fletcher left his bed.room for a tew 11.1. notes, leaving his purse on his bed.
