In this temper of mind is it necessary to prolong a state of crisis, and to renew a sanguinary struggle? to submit to the chance of arms, questions which might long since have been resolved by can. mon deliberations? We are on the point of resuming hostilities for 1101130 disputed points, which would probably be arranged by the two belligerent parties,:if they had tried immediately, after the suspension of arms, to treat together, without, however, declining disinterested council. It Is not from without tbst peace can come to us, we must give it to ourselves. After hostilities are resumed the two people will be se angrily always brought to treat together, unless we should sAtbdue the other. In these circumstances, and from these considerations, the under signed has the honour to invite your Excellency to propose to your Go• 'cerement to name three Commissioners, who may meet three Belgic Commissioners, in some foreign city, for instance, A1:-la-Chapelle, or Valenciennes. They will be commissioned to agree on the basis of a scheme of arrangement which may be submitted for acceptance to the National Congress, and to the power which the fundamental law of Holland invests with the rights to conclude such a treaty. The National Congress is convoked for May 18. It is to be pre sumed, that if your Government should not be disposed to agree to the proposal which the undersigned his the honour to address to your Ex cellency, or if it should observe a silence, which must be understood u the rejecdon of every amicable arrangement, Belgium would immedi ately proceed to a renewal of hostilities. The undersigned protests beforehand against every false influence that might be drawn from the present proposal. Übe has endeavoured to join firmness to moderation, it is because the national dignity forbad any other attitude, and because the rery nature of his proceeding called for language as remote from provocation as from weakness. The under signed begs his Excellency the Minister for Foreign Affairs to accept the expression of his distinguished consideration. Brussels, May 9, 1831. (Signed) LEBEAU. A True Copy. The Secretary, ike- Norbomb. A British Cabinet messenger arrived here yesterday afternoon, and repaired to the residence of the Regent. This morning, at 11 o'clock, a numerous and highly re spectable meeting of the inhabitants of St. Clement Danes, was held in the Vestry-room, opposite to the Church, to take into consideration the propriety of presenting an ad dress to his MAJESTY, in testimony of gratitude and admi ration of his patriotic and magnanimous conduct in referring the great measure of Parliamentary Reform to the sense of his people. _ _ • Not over yet, but considered favourable to the reform candidates. TRIUMPHANT MEhTING OF ESSEX PATRIOTS. DINNER AND ILLUMINATION OF CHELMSFORD, Ite. Reported empress!, fir the STAR. Tuesday was indeed a great day in Essex, and never, in the annals of this great county, was there so large an as semblage of patriots gathered together at one time, to place Liberty on her imperishable throne, as met at Chelmsford, on the chairing of the reforming member on that day.— Tuesday having been fixed, by previous advertisement, for the chairing of Mr. Wellesley, all the county, with the ex , caption of the known and now well-marked bigots, met to gether at two o'clock ; and one of the most splendid proces sions that we ever saw, splendid, not from gew-gaw and show, but from numbers and respectability, paraded the streets, before and behind Mr. Wellesley in his chair. At five o'clock a numerous and respectable party eat down to a sumptuous dinner at the Saracen's Head Inn, where, after a very able speech from Mr. Wellesley, a scene occurred which we feel it our duty to notice. Dr. Forster rose to propose the health of his personals nd political friend Mr. Harvey, which he introduced by the following speech, &c. Brother Freeholders ! for so I now call you, having pur chased a freehold to serve the cause of freedom in my county, I will now give you the health of a gentleman to whom much praise is due. When Mr. Wellesley told you just now that he was not an enemy to the Church (a laugh), he naturally brought to my mind the name of a gentleman with which the name of the Church of England is somehow or other so connected, that I can never separate them in my mind ; and whenever I so much as see that building, or any part of it, from the weathercock on the steeple to the tombs in its Sepulchral Vault, the glorious name of that staunch friend of real religion, Mr. D. W. Harvey, rushes into my mind. (Immense cheers and laughter.) Those are the real reformers of religion who unveil its dangerous corruptions, and stand forward as the renovators of the people's rights, to share the original benefices of its foundations. Tithes sprung from Christian Charity, and were intended by our pious ancestors to confer the practical benefits o►f charity on the deserving poor. The possession of the whole of them by . the Clergy, is an innovation, dangerous to the best in terests of agriculture. As a friend to their restoration— I think we ought to drink Mr. Harvey's health,. but I have two other reasons for the toast I am going to propose—one is, to do justice to the warm feelings of private friendship, and the other, and indeed the only reason with which you are all concerned to day, is beeause the great personal exertions which Mr. Harvey made during last election to give popularity to Mr. Wellesley's cause, laid the real foundation fur the triumph which we are now cele brating. Mr. Harvey is one of the most consistent and ho nourable politicians of the age; and setting as 1 do at de fiance the imbecile calumnies of party in matters of politics, and determined as I am to fix the stigma of malignant envy on those who seek a paltry consolation for their own weak ness, in a foul impeachment of their rival's strength, for to pluck laurels from the beads of their neighbours, which can never transplant upon their own, 1 am desirous of recording my opinion of this honourable man, whom I shall describe as integer vita scelerisyme pains t and in that cha racter—as one who has been the renovator of his country's rights, and will be the avenger of his country's wrongs. 1 propose to you the health and prosperity of the patriotic Member for Colchester (Immense and continued cheering.) After this a Cler gyman whose name we understood to be Haubury, got up, and after eulogizing Mr. Wellesley, began to detract from Mr. Harvey's merit in a most uncalled for way, but was soon set down by such a volley of groans and hisses, that he was unable to proceed. Dr. Forster rose vehemently to defend his friend, amidst unusual cheering, and a scene of uproar followed seldom witnessed ; Mr. Wellesley however rose, and in a very good-natured manner and speech obtained quiet— order was restored : and the Brilliant Illumination of the Town of Chelmsford drew all the party out of doors, who walked the streets to a late hour, amidst the busses of thou sands of people, the sound of music playing patriotic airs. BRUSSELS, N'Alr Mr. Brown the Churchwarden was unanimously called to the chair, and stated that be convened the present meeting owing to having received a requisition for that purpose, numerously and respectably signed. Mr. Prout said that in November last, an address was presented to his Majesty by the inhabitants of this pa rish, entreating him to become a Reformer, and his Ma jesty bad most graciously listened to their entreaties, and proved himself an uncompromising friend of reform, and an invincible enemy of corruption. The meeting could not therefore withhold their approbation of such magnanimous and patriotic conduct, by presenting an address of gratitude to his Majesty for dissolving the late Parliament. Mr. Fallow., Mr. Cordell, and several other gentlemen addressed the meeting, and the address was unanimously agreed to, amidst the most rapturous applause. Yesterday morning, at three o'clock, 600 Dutch troops sallied from the citadel of Antwerp, and took possession of Fort St. Laurent. This aff.ir has caused a great sensation at Antwerp. The Dutch flag is flying on the ramparts of the port. From that position they can sweep all the environs. They have cut through the Causeway to Boom, they have pallisaded it, and are now busy in fortifying it. Only a knowledge of the place an give a notion of the importance of this position. According to general opinion. the fort was neutral. The Causeway of Boons has always been fre quented by the Belgians. The fort was not occupied by the Dutch ' on the 21st of November, or for a long time before that date. We shall see whether such a violation of the armistice will be allowed. The city of Antwerp is perfectly tranquil ; the theatre is much fre quented, though it is opposite the citadel, the guns of which are pointed tosards It; but people aceucom themselves to any thing.

Lord Palmerston's communication announcing the success of the application is annexed, and it is right to add, that this mark of attention on his part to the interests of British commerce, combined with the late proceedings in the Tagus, have caused the merchants in general to think very favour ably of his Lordihip's fitness for the important station he fills: Foreign-office, May 14.

It mend indeed he scarcely decorous to give a guinea for such a purpose, when we have so many starring men of talent, and so in:telt pu! lic diet:est; claiming our si;are means. We unite our protest against the attempt, as unwarranted. The pat tics ottaht to be content with f:,l 0(i0 for two or three hours fiddling, however exquisite ; but to seek more than double that sum is n trial of public patience, on this subject the Tunes, very prverly, speaks thus : Laporte's presumption in doubling the prices of admission to the King's 'Theatre, on the first night or Pa,:antai's pule:nuance, as on: of there extravagancies which could only have emend the bead of a fo reigner, who beforehand had arrived at the happy ettadetion, moreover, of the infinite gullibility of the Bugliah nation To understand this the more claudy, it is necessary to bear in ntirel. that the whole theatre is on this occasion se: span, rot fur a drananc pert:insane, but for a concert merely, and that it will hold, if filled, at the ordinary prices, at leaat 1,600 L in money. The expense to be sustained is considerably less than on ar. ordinary night. There is no chorus. no corps dra matiyur, nor corps de ballet. to be engaged. Nothing is wanted but an orchestra, the whole attraction centering ia feet in the single talent of Paganini, width without doubt, having the concur ent testimony of all Europe, Is of no contn:on kind. But is be justified. or Laporte foe him, in levying this et onnous tax on those who may desire to form their own opinion of Isim by hearing his performance on the violin? We have had invances enough its olds country of extravagant pretension on the :are of opera singers, dancers and odic ra ; yet none of then: in the full zenith of their perularity, and •ith far stronger rtssons Ott their side, ever ventured on such an outrageous proo•eding as this. What Paganiti's audiences have submitted to in Frankfort, Berlin, Hamturgli, Paris , and other places, has nothing to do wi.h this question. The public there are little in the habit of extretsitsg their right over the mode of admission to public places, and the prices at the King's Theatre are already higher than any others in Europe. They se cure. as they are, the most brilliant recompense that can possibly await individual talent. We may allow, perhaps, to very rare emirrece in a public performer, that he shall occasionally count his handrut's for a single night; but this scheme, should the public swallow the bait, may possibly secure his thousands to Paganiri : he may appropriate as much in that one night as former managers have assigned to our Bil lingtons and Catalanis for a whole season. There can be nothing in his art, a mere instrumental performance, so great a prodigy, as to de serve such a price. Ihe frequenter's of the Ktng's Theatre are file°. bus enough, perhaps, many of them, to take their estimate of Page nini's concert by the rate of admission which is demanded to it, but the common sense of the great majority of them will, we are persuaded, furnish the best remedy for such extortion, by causing them to absent themselves till Laporte and his foreign idol are brought to their senses. Madame Vestries has been playing with great success at Bristol, from whence she proceeded to Bleier, where the houses over. flowed every evening ; and her success was so signal, that she was applied to by all the West Country Managers. She, however, im mediately returns to Lordon for a few days, prior to her going to Dublin, where she is engaged on very high terms, to produce all her successful Dramas of the Olympic. THE LATE MR. Quito. —The will and codicils of the late John Quick, Req. formerly of the Theatres-Royal Covent-Garden and Drury. Lane, have been proved in the Prerative Court of the Archbishop of Canterbury, by the oath of Mr. William Quick, the son of the deceased, and one of the executors. The personal estate has been sworn under 10001. the whole of which sum (with the exception of a legacy of 101. to the late servant of Mr. Quiek,and another bequest of a trilling amount to a Mend) is bequeathed to Mr. William Quick, and to the only daughter of the testator, Mn. Mary Anne Davenport. The forma Is also appointed residuary legatee. 'The will is in a very dilapidated condition, occasioned. as it appears by an affidavit of the deceased's servant, by his constantly carrying it, until within a abort period of his death, in a side-pocket of his coat. Thlt codicils are in Mr. Quick's own hand-writing.

"It was during the siege ofToulon that Napoleon, while constructing a battery under the enemy's fire, had occasion to prepare a despatch, and called out for some one who could use a pen. A young /askant, named Juno; leapt out, and. leaning on the breasuwork, wrote as Napoleon dictated. As he finished, a shot struck the ground by his side, and scattered dust ha abundance over him, and every thing near him.— ' Good,' said the soldier laughift, ' this time we shall do without sand.' The cool gaiety of this pleased &onaparte ; be kept his eye on the man, and Junot came in the sequel to be a Marshal of Prance. and Duke of Abeantes."
