Mr. B. de clared himself favourahle to the object of the petitioners. aed 4.lceost all the ;Members who spoke were advocates for a eteopuleary provision—the only effectual provision that can he relied upon for the relief of the poor. still, how. rt. r. there are some politicians of the economical school so strongly opposed to the principle of Poor Laws we to resist their introduction even tinder the present circumstances of that country. Colonel Torrens, we find, is one of these. He recommends the encouragement of agriculture. coupled e.ith a system of emigration. in preference to one of compul sore relief; and certainly, if we were obliged to choose be tween the two courses, we should agree with him in prefer ring the former. But there is no reason why both remedies towuld not he applied to the correction of the evils under which Ireland has long suffered. Lott agriculture.anci everyother spe. :es of industry, be encouraged ; but let not the poor be for. gotten. Experience, recent experience, has shown that the most frightful exhibition of human misery cannot open the torsos of some people to relieve the wants of their fellow. ernoures. The thousand% who would have lately starved in Ireland, but for English charity and humanity, are so many witnesses to this fact. Things cannot go on always as they have done. Benevolent people may and will continue to tax themselves voluntarily rather than witness the spectacle of a perishing multitude ; but it is only by the interference to' Parliament to lighten and equalize the burden that per m:went ten f can be supplied. We would rather see even an ill-concocted system of pour-laws established in Ireland that. witness the exhibition of such Misery and insen sibility as prevailed in that country doting the late c st rem. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. DEITCH PAPERS. Copy of a Despatch addressed to the Ambassadors and voys at the Courts of Berlin, London, Paris, St. Peters. laugh, and Vienna, dated August 2. 81r—Vou are aware of my official communication ad- Ore.a.d on the 12th ult. to the conference of London, itt awer to the 18 articha proposed as the preliminaries of a tre.tty of peace between Holland and Belgium. " I have the honour to transmit the two articles enclosed. rie first, an isfEcia! notification which I received from the c, , rifertnce under the date of the 2bth ult. the purport of wit eh is to prevail upon our government to arm its minis- It re in London with powers to discuss, perfect, and execute, a definitive treaty, under the auspices of the Five Powers. The second is my reply o f the Ist of August, of which the Baron Zuylen de Nyvelt, who yesterday set out to resume Lit functions of second plenipotentiary, is the bearer. You will observe, Sir, that in this litter instrument his Majesty has caused to be given to his Plenipotentiaries at London, the necessary instructions and powers for the dIiCLIS. perfecting, and executing, in concert with the ministers of the Conference, a definite treaty, the object of which skill be the separation of Holland from Belgium, according to the terms propoundtd in my official communication of the 12th ult. which terms were agreed upon by his Majesty and the five Powers; and you will observe, moreover, that the King is determined to support the negotiation by military measures. In fact, his Majesty, after nine months of vain negotiation, which has been quite unprofitable to Holland, and during which she has not ceased to give proof of her sincere desire to ter. alitiste, in an amicable manner, her quarrel with Belgium— ai:er this his 3lajerty has judged, that if be would not sacrifice the primary and vital interests of Holland—if he would not sacrifice interests necessary to her existence, he must renounce all hopes of obtaining from Belgium reason. able conditions of separation without coercive measures : and that it has become the more indispensable to have recourse to much measures, because the crisis could not be prolonged ithont compromising at once our public spirit, our finance% our army, and even our political existence. On the other si.:e, there is reason to hope, that the appearance of our arms i 7 Belgium will restore the balance of the oegociation destroyed by those means which the insurrection has sue. employed, while Holland confined herself to a mirietly defensive position. •• In conformity with hls Majesty's desire, I have the Lio:our to impress upon you the propriety of explaining t. the minister of affairs at • • •, that the ac ual gum tiun of Belgium is nu longer one in which Europe can be thought to hate a general interest; but that it is re (laced to an object of a Furely domestic nature—namely, in fixing the equitable conditions of a separation between and Belgium—that these conditions are of the lag:lcat impnrance to Holland, but absolutely indifferent ic the rest of Europe—that if other nations can really tin hilt themselves interested, it must be solely in regard to the preservation of a general peace, and that upon this ground we unit' tine aid of Austria, France, Hirai Britain, Prussia, and Itussia. You will add that Holland understands her intertste too well to desire or wish to kindle a war, whether more t r less extensive, of which she must herself eteounter the first and most formidable hazards,—that she covets no increase of territory,—that she offers up her best g .wd wishes for the well-being of all states, without dis turbing herself about the means by which they seek to ac quire or to censolidate; but that she cannot, under any cis. cutustatices. sacrifice the principle of her own existence. Thence it must be evident that the King's determioa ion to throw his at my into the scale simultaneously with the nego tiations at London for the puipuse of obtaining fair terms of separation,—an end too precisely marked, and too distinctly avowed, to be subject to the least doubt,--ought not to in spire any disquietude; and his .Majesty believes he has ground to hope that in Ruse circumstances Austria, France, great Britain, Prussia. and Russia will unite their efforts with hie, to ensure that the separation shall be adjusted upon a solid and equitable tooting, and consistently with the rights ca Holland. Pray inform me of the result of your representations. (Sigccd) VERSTOLK DE SOELEN." BFLGIC PAPERS. Ar. TwElt P. A ou. 6. Our city breathes. Joy ;Ind hope return to all beam.

" F. de TABOR, General of Brigade. " Antwerp, Aug. 6." The Dutch Beet is in the same position, and our gunners ale impatient to receive it. Both parties have made several trials of the range of their shot. A 48-pound ball thrown by us passed over a man of-war, and rebounded far beyond it into the Scheldt. Some bombs were exchanged. The fleet find on Austraweel and set it on fire. It is incon ceivable that the Dutch have not attempted to make themselves masters of our batteries by landing at Austraweel. There was fighting all night at St. Laurent. The enemy sallied in force from the citadel, and attacked our advanced posts. Many men, exhausted by fatigue, and overwhelmed by the cannon-balls, quitted the harbour; but we still, occupy the batteries and the trenches. he enemy, perceiving that we did not fire ac cording to orders that had been given, fell on the batteries and spiked three guns of the citadel. There was at first some confusion, but our troops rallied and recovered their positions. The enemy burnt the houses about Kiel. The Dutch sustained great loss last night. The events of yesterday give us a new opportunity to appreciate the noble cha racter of the King. Scarcely had he heard that the enemy had made a sally from the citadel, when he hastily quitted his head-quarters at Malines, to fly to the scene of danger. General Tabor, whom the King sent for to Berchem, had an interview with his Majesty, which lasted above an hour. The enemy having been repulsed by our troops, his Ma jesty accompanied by the Minister of War, returned on horseback to Malines, and General Tabor came back to this port. _ _ _ BRUSSELS, AUG. 11.-M. Le Hon, our am bassador at Paris, was received by Louis Philip on the 4th instant. The Duke of Nemours was pre sent, but the Duke of Orleans was absent, and his Majesty was pleased to dwell on the great disap. pointment which the Duke would feel on that ac count. M. Le Hon, on delivering his credentials from the King of the Belgians, addressed to King Louis Philip a speech, in which, notifying the ac cession of the King of the Belgians, be expressed the sentiments of affection which his sovereign feels for the King, his family, and France. He added, that King Leopold depended on the friendship of the King of the French, and his support, if circum stanc,s should render it necessary, to claim them. King Louis Philip replied with much emotion to M. I Le Hon, " King Leopold," said he, " knows the real affection I bear him ; and the Belgians also know the interest that France and myself entertain for them. My two sons, and the French batalions will march to its aid, if its independence sh ou ld In; threatened." The King expressed to M. Le Hon his satisfaction at King Leopold's having again accredited him to his Court, and repeatedly desired him to express to the King of the Belgians the warm friendship, and sincere affection and interest, he felt for our Sovereign. The King afterwards I conversed for half an hour with M. Le Hon, in his private cabinet, and was pleased to read to him the letter which he sends to our Sovereign, in answer to that which King Leopold wrote him. M. Le Hon had afterwards an audience of the queen and the three princesses, and then of Ma dame Adelaide, from whom be met with a similar reception. Generals Tieken de Terhove and Daine effected their junction yesterday morning, the con sequence of which is, that the Dutch who have taken possession of Diest are surrounded at one of the points of the town where they had barri caded themselves. On the other hand the Civic Guards of the Ist and the 2d ban h;tve been seat against the Dutch column at Diest. Thus this corps of 4,000 foot, and 1,500 or 1,800 horse, must either try to cut its way through our army, or lay down its arms. Defensive and offensive measures have been concerted at the king's head quarters, from which most advantageous results are expected. Two-thirds of the prisoners whoui we have taken from the Dutch are Prussians or Germans. The Government will have the fact investigated. The enemy seems to have halted on his march. He has indeed penetrated as far as Diest. The Dutch seem to intend to advance to Hawk, near which town the army of the Meuse is stationed. Measures of defence are prosecuted with great activity in Flan ders. The whole line is guarded by a strong force. Numbers of the civic guard have joined, and it is impossible to describe the enthusiasm that pi avails in the whole country. We have no itn?urtant news from the army to-day. There is reason to believe that the operations will not be prosecuted as in the preceding days.—Moniteur Beige. The Emancipation says, " We have received the following from Louvain, dated August 7. The following is the state of things in the army of the centre of the enemy : At Veurt, two leagues behind Diest, is a park of artillery, con sisting of 100 field-pieces; it is guarded by a corps of cavalry of 1,000 men. At Diest there are 30 pieces of artillery and 8,000 men. A corps of 7,000 or 8,000 men, belonging to the army of General George, dislodged, yesterday, the 10th Belgian regiment. We lost more than 200 men. The garrison of Maastricht has pushed forwards, and has taken post at Herderen. To-day, between 7 and 9 o'clock, there was a sharp cannonade in the neighbourhood of Dist. We have since learned that a great portion of the troops have left Diest for Helen and Herk. This movement appears to indicate an intention of forming a junction with the troops of General George, in order to force General Daine to abandon his position, and open the great road from liege to Brussels. ALASCHOT, Monday Evening, Aug. 8, Head quarters of the King --His Majesty, as Commander ' in -Chief, moved his head-quarters this morning at ' five o'clock, from Louvain to Aerschot, about three leagues from Diest, on the high road from Louvain to Turnhout. About four o'clock a report was brought to the King, that the Dutch had taken poEsession of Tirlemonde; immediately all was in confusion, and an aide-de-camp was de spatched to ascertain the true position of the enemy. The report made was, that they had entered St. Trond, rind not Tirlemonde. It was then decided to change the head-quarters to this town, as being nearer the enemy. His Majesty having reached here by six o'clock, instantly proceeded to the camp of the army of the Scheldt, under the command of General Tieken de Terhove, and in spected the corps. His Majesty was received with the greatest enthusiasm by the troops. Never was a General more popular with his army. 1 hey ab solutely adore him, and would rush to the cannon's mouth at his command. His Majesty in passing down the lines was accosted by an old soldier, and offered part of his breakfast, a piece of black bread, and some smoked tongue. His Majesty kindly took it from the hand of the old veteran, and eat it in his presence ; he told him that he never had enjoyed a breakfast so much to his satisfaction before—instantly the sound of " Vive le Roe," burstfr mn om i e t : t • e e e. ry mouth, and continued for upwards of five The Dutch who, in the course of yesterday, had taken possession of St. Trend, quitted it this morn ing, and are now at Diest and Montague. They have intrenched themselves in these two places, and raised up very formidable barricades. The army of the Scheldt, which was reviewed this morn ing at Westerloo, passed through the town at eight this Evening, and had taken their position on the right bank of the Deemer, about a quarter of a league from here. The distance between the two armies is three leagues and a quarter. The strength of this division of the Belgic army is 12,000 in fantry• and cavalry of the line, three batteries of artillery—two of twelve and one of six guns—be sides 6,000 of the civic guard. It is supposed the civic guard will be increased by to-morrow by 6000 men. In fact, no idea can be formed of the rising of these brave people : old and young,all leave their homes, and answer the appeal of their father and King. The roads are thronged with volunteers. The Minister of IVar, ad interim, sent the fol lowing letter this morning to M. Lebeau : " Aersehot, Aug. 8, 1831. " M. I.e Minister—His Majesty desires me to inform you that he has this instant received, by way of England, the news that the troops stationed in the island of Batavia have revolted. The lieigians,more numerous than the other Europeans, clothed themselves with authority, and esta blished a government in the name of the Belgian nation. All the island have submitted to this government. " His Majesty Invited you to semi Instantly an agent to Batavia. " The Minister of' War, ad interim, (Signed) " To M. Lebeau. Minister, Louvain." " CONIT. D'Hmes. This news gave a fresh stimulus ; and success to their brethren in Batavia was cheered under the windows of the King.—The Dutch made a sortie yesterday from Maestricht, were driven back, with considerable loss. It is also said that General Daine, with the army of the Meuse, is at Herck, near Diest ; and that he gained a victory over the Dutch General Georges, at Oethal. The enemy had retreated to Maseyek, where he will be kept in check by Colonel Vanderhrock. BRUSSELS, TUESDAY MORNING.•--TheDOWS of the insurrection in Batavia has made this town 'quite alive. The Orangeists, who, within the two last days had again raised their heads, have received a slight hint that their proceedings are watched.— They are confined to a few individual, of no influ ence, but evidently in the pay of Holland. The Republicans have also moved, but the inhabitants have quieted them. The disdain with which they are treated by every one causes them to hold their meetings in holes and corners. These two parties now united are too contemptible to mention. The assistance from France seems not to give general satisfaction ; and I am told that the Cour rier des Pays Bas intends attacking Leopold for asking for succour from France without consulting the Congress. The Independent hopes the Belgians will be allowed to fight their own battles. The fear is, that the French, once in Belgium, it will be dif ficult to get rid of them. All this must be very satis factory to the King, in one point of view : it must prove to him that there is no wish, in this country, to become allied to France. The promised fleet from England is very popular ; and the arrival of • it Edward Codrington will be hailed with glee. The Government has officially announced that an embargo was laid on Dutch vessels in French ports, on the morning of the 6th. Every one is now turning their attention to Prussia, whether she will take part with Holland, at this declaration of war by France. The Dutch are still in pos session of Sas de Crane, and the locks of Amelia, Philippine, Isabelle, Capitalendam, Bewestereede, and of Pas in the city of Eclure. This gives them the power of inundating nearly the whole of the country from Bruges to Ghent. There appears to have been some fighting near Maldeghem, in which the Dutch had twenty killed and wounded : the loss on the part of the Belgians was six killed and wounded. BRUSSELS EXPRESS—THIS DAY.

We cannot too =needy to. mind the citizens, that when a piece of news is bad, that L a reason to believe it false : some Journals which in general are best informed should be consulted by those who wish to know what is passing in the army. If the Maui- Sur publishes little news, it is because it is thought pru dent at head quarters to keep the operations of the army secret. It is known that the Dutch have numerous spies, which shows how much they desire to be acquainted with our movements; and if we can conceal them, the advert tages for us will be immense.

The King left Melina* yesterday morning, and arrived at Louvain st ll o'clock. General Basdrand, Aide-de-C,amp to the Duke of Orleans, has arrived at Melina with General Belliard. The heavy cannonade heard yesterday was occasioned by an action between the enemy and our troops, who are said to have retaken Diest. It is in consequence of this disad vantage that the Dutch have advanced to St. Trond. The day before yesterday there was an engagement be tween the army of General Daine and a Dutch corps, near Hasselt. Our troops gained some adrantag'e. Official news has just arrived (4 p.m.) that the troops which sallied from Maestricht yesterday have been beaten, and forced to retire to that city ; that the army of the Meuse, commanded by General Dein*, had arrived ot Hack, near Diest, upon hawing beaten, at Oethal, the Dutch General Georges, who has fallen back towards blaseyck, whence he will be kept in check by the Belgian brigade of Colonel Vanderbroek. The troops that sallied from Maestricht, left behind kraal carts with wounded. The army of the Scheldt, under Tieken de Tahoe', is said to have arrived in the environs of II erenthals, five leagues from Dian Aua. B.—Colonel Moyart, Commandant of the Province, has fixed his head-quarters at Damme. No Dutchman is to be seen to-day along the whole line. Our troops remain in their positions. In the night of the sth, the Dutch were for a moment masters of the sluice of Haugras, and burnt the house of the sluiee.keeper ; but they were soon repulsed. (TIES!, AUGUST B.—On the 6th, the Dutch roade,a sally from Hold upon the Clioge: they were repulsed by the civic guard. The head-quarters of Gen. Wander, are at Bassevelde, which the Dutch were compelled to abandon yesterday. Their loss was considerable ; the blood flowed in the streets of Bassevelde; our loss was trifling. Tuo much praise cannot be given to the brave oleic guard, which admirably seconded the troops of the line. TMs morning, we were in full possession of Red., but at 10 o'clock we were forced to abandon that position to a force too considerable to be resisted. A battalion and three companies of the second battalion of the let ban of our Civic Guard, set out this morn ing for Cappelle. Their departure took place with singing and cries of joy. The vessel sent to the Hague to carry to the King of Ht Iland, the armistice concluded with the citadel has not yet returned. It is supposedl that that Prince has come nearer to the army. The Dutch are positively retiring on our whole line, in the province of Antwerp; they have abandoned Turnhout, Putte, and West Wesel, but we have no troops to join them. The Dutch have seised some ships at Flushing that Weft coming to Antwerp. LOUVAIN, Auo. &—This morning the King also slept in a private house here, and set out early with his staff for Aersehot, where he now is. Considerable forces are assembled at that point. The enemy occupies the same position, only that he has ad vanced between Terlemont and Tongres, and taken possession of St. Trond, a town of little importance.—As the King has not returned from Aerschot, it Is thought he will fix his bead-quarters there, to be nearer to the advanced posts on that side. The King is indefatigable. BRUS.ZLS, AUGUST 9—A French cabinet messen ger passed through last night coming from Paris. He had dispatches for General Baird, and others for the Hague. It is amid that the Belgian army assembling at Louvain already amounts to 33,000 men. There are said to be a million cartridges at Louvain. Eight thousand muskets ar rived at Brussels yesterday, and are going to be sent to Louvain. • The Minister of the Interior announces that the King has received from England the news that the Belgian troops in Java bad established a Government there in the name of the Belgian nation, to which the whole island had submitted.

The centre of the enemy's army is 20,000; these are the flower of his hoops; It has good cavalry, and a great number of cannon. The left consist of 15.000 men—these, too, are good troops.

PARIS, AUGUST 9.—Sts, what I hinted to you in my last respecting the feelings of the French people on the commencement of the war being only a first step towards something of more consequence, is beginning to show itself in a more decided manner. Very many strange re ports are afloat; and in spite of the denial which you will find in the Messager, they are beginning to take some consistence. It is said, that the am bassadors of the great powers have been terrified at the enthusiasm with which the news of war bad been received in France, and the spirit of combina tion which it has excited amongst all parties. The ambassadors know, that the Etat-Major of the Na tional Guard has been wholly occupied for some days in registering the offers of service of the Na tional Guard to be moved to the frontiers, and the same movement which has taken place with' . the National Guard, animates all parts of the population. The soldiers parted for Belgium, amidst the repeated cries of " Vive la Pologne," and the people answered the cry by that of Mort act Russet i Upon all the theatres the provocations to the Russians and to the Austrians are received with transport. The Journals of the Opposition, which are said to expresi the opinion of the nation, use a language which would push on the war against the great continental powers. Every thing proves, that war is the general wish, and in a Government like that of France, it is scarcely possible to escape its influence. As I said before, the Ministry has drawn upon itself an immense responsibility by its sudden determina tion ; for if, as the ministers give out, that every thing will be speedily arranged in Belgium, I can not see how they will controul the ardour th ey have sacked. The Proursian Gazette which arrived to day, of August the 2d, contains no news of the Polish or I Russian armies.—The Augsburg Gazette states, that on she 29th of last mouth a rumour was spread on 'Change that General Rudiger had pealed the Vistula, and joined On bead-quarters of the Russian General on the left bank of that river.

On Friday last, there was a put . lic preachingby Quakers at Geneva.

There appear to be some misgivings about the permission of the French entry into Belgium. L ast night at the opera, a report was spread, that trance to the French troops had been refused; and that M. Rogier, the Belgian Charge d'Affaires, h a l departed suddenly in order to smoothen the dd. culty. The language of the Courrier Belye ap pears to give some room for this belief, bydeclaring that the Constitution was opposed to the entry o! foreign troops without the consent of the Conpes s Another version respecting the departure of M. Rogier is. that it is relative to the means of au', misting the French troops. The Moniteur Belge of the Bth has a postscript, stating that an Estafette had arrived from Louvain, bringing intelligence that General Mine with In, corps had proceeded to Haelen—one league frori Diest—and that he had effected a junction with the Scheldt.
