" 1 have the honour to inform your ➢lajesty, that your 'Al...jetty's army, at the head of which I have the honour to be placid, has this day obtained a brilliant advantage over the enemy's army, commanded by Tiecken de Terhorco : Prince Leopold was present in person. The enemy's troops were drivcn from every position in which we attacked them, and c , mpelled to retreat into the town, and under the cannon of Louvain. The consequence was, the asking of a suspension of arms for a short time, to allow the town of Louvain to be evacuated and surrendered to your Majesty's troops. "The proposition for an armistice, by which the enemy acknowledged his defeat, was agreed to by me. " This result was brought about in the following manner: "The third division, commanded by General Meyer, broke up at 6 in the morning, accompanied by the euthenics bd.' lade, under the command of General Post ; and the reserve batteries of artillery. •• in the evening before:we had found it necessary to eva cuate Bautersem, anti, in consequence of the superior force of the enemy, to make the vanguard fall back upon Roosbeek. " To-day we found the enemy on the Louvain side of Bautcrsem, occupying an advantageous posision, which was covered by woods and the exterior houses of Bautersem. His fora consisted of infantry and artillery. I immediately per ceived that to debouch from the village and attempt to attack his position in front would only give matelot) to a needless effusion of blood. I therefore ordered the outflanking of kis position on the right and left, in order to oblige him to carry his retreat into complete effect. " The enemy made a long stand ; but when he perceived that we had obtained possession of some heights on hie left flank, which I caused to be occupied by the volunteer Yager corps of the Sd division, he saw that P. was necessary to com mence a hasty retreat. We followed him without delay en the road to Louvain. '' I had just given orders for pursuing him with our ca. 'airy, that advantage might be taken of his confusion, when a flag of truce advanced to meet me on the road. " The bearer of the Sag of truce was Lord Wm. Russell. He brought a letter from Sir Rcbt. Adair, addressed to the Duke of Sase-Weimar, as It was supposed that bis Highness r. , Tmanded this column. Ihe rurport of the letter was to ark a suspension of arms, and to notify that the vanguard cf the French army was already in the neighbo!.rhood of Wane. Alter some deliberation, I intimated that the only crcumstanees that could induce me to consent to an annis !ire could be the evacuation of Louvain, and the king able to obtain undoubted assurance of a Frencb army beitig on the Belgic territory. I would send an officer to ascertain that. Lord William Russell then took leave, and I executed my forward movement. The enemy fled on all points. On approaching Louvain we found hint posted with s consider able force, in a very advantageous position, on the height of Edienherg. 1 obliged him to abandon this position, by crdeting the first division, which was marching on St. Joris- Winglie, to take a position on this side on the ridge of that Light, and then, having reached the plateau, to . advance on the enemy's left a:ng. " General Fatauge, who commanded the second brigade of the first division, executed this movement with great skill, and the rouh was successful. A cannonade, of short dura tion on hi' part, as well as on the part of the artillery of the third division, compelled the enemy to evacuate this uncom ;,lonly strong military posittion, and to retreat rapidly on Larain. " ll•e now occupy the same position, with the road and •:,e hamlet on OUT left. Here we found ourselves within the ..,:atee of a gunshot from Louvain. I awaited the result ' 'Ty prop •ition, which Lord William Russell had tem ( td to Sir Robert Adair as my answer to his ktter. Sir Ruben Adair earns himself. He requested a suspension of l i 4r•••• I declared to him that I could consent to no other ~u ns than the complete evacuation of the town by Prince Lopoldand the Belgic troops. Sir Robert took upon him '•f° is bring about an agreement on this condition. " Immediately after Sir Robert's return to the town, a b.igiyp Officer. belonging to the staff of the Belgian • rnY, apprzed and asked me what propositions I would p:. I c used my demand to be drawn up by the General of Lieutcr art-General Constant de :Itebecque, and ',qu,red an immediate answer. I received it without delay, :4tteel by the Belgian Brigadier-General and Chief of the el interim, A. Gobltt. Almon as this couventlottwas THE EVENING STAR. LONDON, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 17. NZ O'CLOCK, THIS DAT .—Thennomacr, 72. Baro. meter, 30-00. Wind N.W. Weather, fair. The Dutch Mails give us the Prince of Orange's accounts ofo his triumphs over the Belgians, which he, of course, ascribes to his own Generalship, and to the superior prowess of the Dutch ; but all the world will ascribe his success to the Five Powers having robbed the Belgians of their public spirit, and to their conviction that they were not solely fighting for their families and' liberties, but in support of the policy of Five Foreign Powers. It was a question on which few Belgians were willing to devote them selves, for be it observed they were volunteers, not hired men ; and they became soldiers in a cause all their own, and not to defend Protocols, in which they were no parties. They yielded to the Protocols, but it was passive feeling; not the soul-stirring sentiment which carries men to the cannon's mouth. Al! men are engaged in discussing Marshal Soult's declaration, tbat the French troops are to occupy Belgium till there is a satisfactory assur ance that the Dutch will not return. Such was the language of Hengist when he came into Eng land to repel the Picts. In this case, however, the Belgians will themselves favour the intruders, for if they cannot be republican, they prefer being French. Then there is the previous lugs tion about the fortresses, for which the feeble French Government took undue credit for the sake of , popularity ;and in now settling that point, they will, like the British Brennius, throw their sword into the scale. The avowal of Soult leads to doubts, and the intention avowed may be the forerunner of results not anticipated. But we do not regard it as a question which ought to involve this country in war. The policy of our own Dutch deliverer ought to be despised in the present day. The Rhine is the natural boundary of France ; and as it must be so, sooner or later, the sooner the question is set tled, the better it will be for all Europe. The politic secretly of Skrzynecki,while it baffles his adversary, renders it difficult for journalists to speak of the Polish campaign. The Muscovites have cast their fate on a die, by crossing the Vis tula ; but they are still in a position to receive supplies from treacherous Prussia. After crossing at Nieszaws, they moved parallel to Warsaw, as far as the Warta to Konin and Kole, and since have concentrated at Lowiecz on the Boura,4B miles west of Warsaw. The Poles are in some force at Sochaczew and Bionic, twenty or twenty-five miles distant; but Skrzynecki has his head-quar ters at Warsaw and Medlin, at the confluence of the Narew and Ifistnla, op the left flank of Pas kewitsch. In these circumstances we may daily expect decisive events. The summer is wearing away, and the Muscovites must retreat or die; conquest appears to us, without a miracle, to be impossible ; for the Poles have only to destroy them in detail, and thwart them till winter. This war, however, is the great event of the age, and its circumstances will be emblazoned when the rdlii.g statesmen of France and Eng land, who tpmely looked ou, will be forgotten or despised. Why not a Congress, on this sub ject, of the parties to the treaty, which, on con dition., put Poland into the hands of Russia ? and why should Marshal Girard not be allowed to advance into Saxony, to enforce an armistice, till the independence of Poland is assured ? The Bankruptcy Court Bill is deferred, and it , would seem that the 70 Commissioners are making as great a struggle as the Boroughmongers. We still think Lord Brougham beg7n at the wrong end, and that by giving to a majority of creditors a power of settling with their debtors, ho would hare rendered the office of Commissioner merely nominal; and, of course, worth neither a struggle nor a pension. The just course is generally the easiest and shortest. Lord Orford took occasion, from the complica tion of Belgic affairs, to blame our Ministers, not for leaguing with the Holy Alliance, but for not producing other results than that league has ne cessarily produced. Lord Grey replied, and very plainly ascribed the assertions of French Ministers to their desire to obtain a majority in their Chambers. 'rhe Marquis of Londonderry blamed Ministers, not for what they had done, but for all that had happened. The Duke of Wel lington thought governments were bound only by official signatures, and not by vague statements made to influence a debate. Lord Grey charged the Marquis with a desire to excite national ani mosities, which the latter disclaimed. In the Commons, Mr. Hunt presented a petition for some relief from the carpenters and joiners of the metropolis, of whom 12,000 were now out of employment. Sir C. Burrell insinuated that they bed brought themselves into this condition by corn binations to keep up wages. But this Mr. Hunt denied as to the petitioners. Ministers did not remark on so serious an evil, but the petition was ordered to be presented. We fear there are three or four times the number of other al titans in the same situation as the carpenters, wn to London by facilities of raising money for building i speculations, which now are obstructed by the sud den diminution of the circulating medium. It was not enough to check the paper currency ; but, at the same time, other measures should have been adopted, to counteract tl:e effect on thousands of families, who had become dependent on an artificial system, long sustained for its own purpoacs by the Government. Lord Milton presented a petition from the Cor poration of Dublin, praying for the establishment of a Board of Trade. Mr. Grattan, Col. Conolly, and Mr. Wyse, supported the plan. Mr. O'Con nell thought the only remedy for all Irish pie. vances was a local legislature. Colonels To,rens and Trench thought.thatAland could not become a manufacturing country, and Mr. Crampton thought the scheme not worthy of move considera tion. He also stated that Catholics were not ex cluded, as such, from the jury at kilenny. Mr. O'Connell presented a petition, praying for the disbanding of the yeomanly. Sir G. Clerk, in consequence of an in•egu larity in the return for Great Grimsby, moved that the Sheriff of Lincolnshire, and also the returning officer, attend on Friday a: the bar of the house, which was agreed to. Some conversation followed about the riots at Ayr, the bishopric of Derry, and the carrying away of the Portuguese fleet, by the French, from Lisbon to Brest. Mr. Paget complained of alterations in the reform bill as last printed, and enquired about parishes, parts of boroughs. Lord Altborp explained that the whole dutch parishes would acquire the fran chise; but Mr. Warburton said the clause was cor rectly worded. In reply to an inquiry of Mr. Briscoe, the Chan cellor of the Exchequer stated that orders had been, sent to the colonies to emancipate all slaves be longing to the Crown. For this the public will give ministers credit. It was feared that every kind of suffering was to be endured till the reform bill 17as carried. Colonel Evans then laid claim to the gratitude of the country and of all Europe, by moving for papers illustrative of tho treacherous conduct of Prussia •in supporting the Russians, against the Poles, alleging that the Russians cannot maintain their present position, without being assured of supplies of provisions, arms, and ammunition, fr'm the Prussian frontiers. lie enlarged on the ob.i gations of all the parties in the Treaty of Vienna to support the Poles. Lord Pahnorstcn shortly opposed the niotinn. Mr. Hume then, with his usual energy, pleaded the claims of the Poles to our protection, and as serted that they were as strong as the claims of Belgium. Lord Palmerston then said, Goveinment , were sensible of their obligations to fulfil treaties. Mr. Dominic Brown expressed great indigna tion at the apathy which a Ministry, with !Aro Grey at its head, displayed on this subject. Mr. O'Connell advised the postponement of the sub ject, without withholding his sympathy for the Poles, who he hoped would triumph. Colonel Evans's motion was then negatived. Mr. Hume then, in a very elaborate speech, to which no abstract can do justice, proposed that 19 members should be returned to parliament from our variods colonies, viz. 4 from India, 8 from Crown Colonies, 4 from North America, and 3 from the West Indies, and the Marquis of Chandos seconded the motion. Mr. Laboucbere opposed the plan; Mr. Keith Douglas doubted its expediency; Lord Althorp thought it was a question which tended to create embarrassment ; Sir John Malcolm sod Sir G. Staunton supported the idea; Sir C. Wetherell opposed it, but thought it exposed the entire plan of reform ; Mr. Burge, Sir C. Forbes, and Sir li. Murray approved of the plan. Mr. Hume left it to Ministers to mature, and the mo tion was negatived. In the Reform Committee, one clause only, the 14th, giving to the Isle of Wight one Member, was carried, after a long desultory debate. This day the KING came from Windsor to Saint James's Palace, where his MAJESTY held a Levee, and afterwards a Privy Council ; at which the RECORDER of London made his Report to his MAJESTY of the criminals under sentence of Death in Newgate.

All rouild our capital there are places infected' by it, but we have hitherto *ermined free, which can only be ascribed to the strictness with which the sanitary cordon around ~he city is maintained. If the ravages of this disease a, e great among us, they are frightful I on the other side of the Danube, in Bulgaria, whore nothing is done to arrest its progress : it has spread with unexampled rapidity through the whole track from Rustschuk to Choumla, and along the coast of the Black Sea to Mangrelea, and it every where is of the most malignant description.

Hitherto the neighbouring villages, where a (with part of the population of tho city has taken refuge, have remained free ; but same towns farther inland have bairn attacked ; among others, Magnesia and Ag hissar are mentioned. About 110 persons have died in Smyrna ; 43 Greeks, 3 Armenians, 5 Cu tilians, 2 Jews ; the remainder were Turks. Of 69 Christians who were attacked, 15 recovered.— A igemeilte Zeitudg (Supplement), Aug. 9. FRANCE. PA 'lts, Auo. 13.—The news of the retreat of the Duti h has givan a great impulse to the funds, which has been increased by the notices that the Prussian ambassador, M. de Werther, has signified to M. Sebastiani, that his Cabinet disavowed the hostilities commenced by the King of Holland, and fully concurred in the measures resolved upon by the French Government. We are assured that a courier has been despatched, to give notice to the Dukes of Orleans and Nemours that they are to return to Paris.—Journal du Commerce. Marshal Soult has officially confirmed in the Itionitece the news of the retreat of the Dutch troops, announced this morning by the Moniteur. The assurance which be gave at the time that our army would not immediately retreat, but that it would take a position to secure Belgium against a fresh invasion, has given entire satisfaction. This news rise needed, as a counterpoise to the disastrous accounts which come from all quarters respecting unhappy Poland.—Le Temps. Marshal Soult has announced the retreat of the Dutch army, and the stay of our troops in Bel gium to protect it. Thus the mere report of our march has saved Belgium—thus the war under taken by the King of Holland was but .he result of h is own obstinacy. He was said to be backed by all Europe, united against France. This was a signal for universal war; and pe r t we see that he draws back, and orders his troops to retire within the Dutch territory. What will our makers of pre dictions say now ? Will they still maintain that war is inevitable—that Europe threatens us ? That Holland is only the van of the coalesced Kings ? We shall see. Our troops will remain to protect Belgium, and Belgium can no longer doubt that it needs our pro.ection.—Journal des Debats. JUVENILE JEWISH PENSION SOCEITY. We give room with pleasure to the followirg account which hu been sent to us, of one of tittle avatic (scut. lions, in which charity and enjoyment arc an ha:tpily com bined, and which, since the invention of steam 'tickets, have become so honzurably peculiar to the Toanies. Such scenes are a relief to the details of die crooked tr •rigues of statesmen, and the butchery of what are called rap (les : onc is the sublime of I . fc—the other the depraved humi:tation. The celebration of thefoundation of this infant society took place yesterday. The EN DEA YOUR steam packet, under the command of Capt. J A RV IS, was engaged on the occasion to convey company to Twizkehham Height, leaving it at the op:ion of thai:e who wished it to visit llichmor,i and its environs, and again go on board boat. We observed with pain the conduct evinced towards the benevolent and kind yo.:te; rersons, who ventured on the excursion, ou tl ei:. ti. st arri val at Richmond. It was understood that the com pany would, if they pleased, be allowed to dine on the Height.
