The battalion forming the right flank of the divi sion com manded by Colonel Veere, was this morning eng a: , -cd with the enemy, between West Wesel and Brescaet. A continued cannonade was heard here, in the direction of Antwerp. DDLEBURO, Aug. 5.- —The Flemish village Vtzale. half a league from Sas de Gand, is occu ,;ed by our soldiers ; and we are positively in- , termed, the forts Pavel, St. Marie, and the village ~f c a lla, near Antwerp, are taken by our troops, I , Ju l that the sailors belonging to the ships eta :toned there, with a number of our soldiers, ssecuted this bold enterprise with great courage. On Wednesday, the 3d, our ships and gun ':cats attacked Fort St. Marie on the other side of the Scheldt, and cannonaded it with such effect that ri l e garrison was obliged to surrender to the troops mL, and cur ships. Part of the houses belonging :a the fort were burnt, and the works themselves da maged. On Wednesday afternoon a heavy cannon adel;as heard on that side, and Eccloo in Flanders w as observed to be in flames. It is affirmed that other forts on the Scheldt have been attacked by oar men of war. Accounts from the head quarters at Turnhout, received this morning, say that the two Prints were still there yesterday, about four o'clock. Part of our troops, under the Duke of Saxe-Weimar, after he had occupied Gheel advanced beyond that place. Part of the two co- Jans that left Bei gen-op-Zoom on Wednesday, to taiie part in the extreme frontiers, were led by their caiirage to advance too far, that is a league beyond l'allen. They saw no enemy till they were sud (!eolv in a place covered at ith wood, where the Bel gians Lad concealed themselves. A sharp action vaok place, but the number of the enemy being much greater, our troops were obliged to retreat till a reinforcement of cavalry corning up, they were able again to stand their ground, and repulsed the 13elgians. We had a few men wounded. Just as v.-0 were going to press, we received the following letter:— TURNHOUT, AUG. s.—This morning, at five o'clock, e headquarters moved from this plate to Gheel, which was :ealpied yesterday by the Duke of Saze Weimar's divi .:oo, which sill proceed today to Diest, to which the iirtnly has retreated. The first divison, under Lieutenant. iii.acral Van then, which arrived here yesterday, marched morning to Glieel. The third division, under Lieut.. ti.meral Meyer, coming from Postol, advanced this aornirg to Mole, without meeting with the enemy. It is supposed that our army will advance to Hassell to irack the army of the Maese, under the command of Gen. Daine. The reports received at the headquarters say that :Lost of the Inhabitants are flying from Antwerp. This morning the Belgian troops fired on the flotilla.

BERLIN, JULY 25.—The news of the intended !teognition of Poland by France and England, has excited as much sensation here, as the violent at ;.,cks of the French and English Journals on the Pru“ian Government, for its interpretation of the riuciple of neutrality, by which nothing intended the Poles is suffered to pass, while the Russian :irmy is amply supplied with all necessaries from the Prussian territory. Though all this is done by pri vate contracts, it is not to be denied that the opi nion of the people in Prussia by no means assents to this maxim of the Government, though we .annot approve the violent attacks of foreign purnalists. But it is the general and cordial wish of all Prussians, that the intervention of t.. 0 English and French Governments may soon ;.t an end to the contest between Russia and Poland, and in part also to the spreading of the t:.olera. France and England, according to their political principles, must necessarily take the lead in recognizing Poland, and there is no doubt that the Cabinets of Berlin and Vienna would soon fol low. It is, indeed, supposed that Austria is not iiiinclined to make this recognition, and that Prue bit' is withheld only by the bonds of the family 'alliance, from taking a step so disadvantageous to ltussia.—Nurensburg Correpondent, July 31.

The following letter has been received from the agent to the North and South American Coffee House, dated ' BUENOS AYRES, MAT 27. Since my last, the civil war in the provinces of the interior, has taken a decided turn in favour of the liberal party. General Quiroga, who left Buenos Ayres some time since with a handful of men, (about 300,) has penetrated to the foot of the Andes, having beat the Unitarian troops of Gen. Paz, killed some of his best officers, and taken others prisoners. The head quarters of Quiroga were at Mendoza, 900 miles from Buenos Ayres, and his party of federal,' occu pying the provinces of Mendoza, Catamarca, Rioja, &c. The Unitarian Governors of the above places have fled to Cordova. The main armies of the belligerents in the pro vince of Cordova have remained inactive. The Commander. in-Chief of the federal troops (Lopez) has not thought it advisable to attack his oppo nents until the arrival of his infantry, who, under the command of the Governor of Buenos Ayres (Roses), and in number about 2,500 men, marched from the frontiers to join Lopes a few days since. A circumstance has, however, oc curred which will have considerable influ ence in the fate of the war. The Commander in-chief of the Unitarian army, the protector of the nine provinces of the interior, lately under his juris diction. General Jose Maria Paz has been taken prisoner, and sent to Santa Fe. The official. ac counts, published in Buenos Ayres, of this affair, state, that the army of Paz was making a demonstration. Some federal cavalry ho vered about it, and entrapped its chief, whilst making- a reconnoisance, one of the cavalry threw balls (a mode of warfare practised by the Gaucho horsemen), and caught the generars l horse. This important capture caused a great sensation here. The Unitarians rested their chief hop on the talents and abilities of General Paz,' some say that it was a designed measure on his part, finding the cause which he sustained began to be hopeless. Colonel la Madrid has succeeded him in the Government of Cordova, but whatever may be the courage or desperation of his officers, proba bilities seem to denote that they must succumb. The chance that peace may soon take place, and the trade to the interior be again opened, is highly gratifying to those who, being of no party, only wish the happiness and prosperity of the country. Exchange on England, q—Donbloons, 114 Two British houses in Buenos Ayres have re cently stopped payment, and the effect thereof has been most sensibly felt. THE EVENING STAR. LONDON, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 10. The Dutch war on Belgium, end when it may, has been distinguished by greater atrocities than have characterized military operations isnaltrecent conflict. They mre, too, the more to be reprehended, because if the Dutch King have any object, it is to 1 recover the country by winning the loyalty of the inhabitants. To cut down embankments, and let in the sea, so as to waste and destroy the coun try ; to burn down villages and farm-houses, and to butcher and torture the inhabitants, revives our recollections of Dutch character in the never to-be-forgotten affairs of Amboyna. Such conduct must deprive the House of Orange of its present slender hold on the affections of the European people, and bring on legitimacy itself an indelible stain. A Dutch mob might tear the Do Pitts in pieces ; but such deeds ought not to be perpetrated by Dutch officers, conducted by princes of the House of Orange. We had, however, a few months since, a sample of Dutch warfare in the bombardment of Antwerp—a transaction, the horrors of which are but half known in England, and only parralleled in modern history by the Duke of Alves bombardment of Brussels, which act cost the Spa nish Monarchy its dominion over the whole Nether lands. The power and ascendancy of Kings in these times, depend on their justice, and not on their force and brutality. Such conduct towards the Belgians proves, that they were not wrong in considering the King of HOLLAND sea foreigner obtruded upon them by the fatality of circum stances, and the cool insolence of Diplomacy. The Dutch head-quarters, at Turnhout, are about twenty-five miles east of Antwerp, and about forty-five from Brussels. In their advance to Gheel and Diest, they approach within twenty five miles of Brussels; and their march, if not in tercepted, is directed on that city, by Louvain.— Their left division is at Putten and Capone, within eight or ten miles of Antwerp, while their navy, &c. is close to the city. The debate of lut night in the House or 1.0 Ras throws no new light on Belgic and Dutch affairs. It was a further effort of the puppets of the Pitt system to give plausibli colour to their prejudice.; and to sustain their vain glory in the wanton and wicked wars carried on from 1793 to 1815. The conclusion resulting from chances and treasons,' proved nothing with regard to the wisdom of those who promoted those wars; yet as they restored the precious Bourbons, they considered themselves crowned with glory. A result, however, produced by such means and such agents, at variance with the common sense of mankind, was soon likely to exhibit its inherent folly or wickedness ; and it is rather matter of surprise, that it lasted 15 years, than that it did not explode lass many months...-. The baseless fabric of their political reputation is, however, now unmasked, and hence their fretful course in both Houses of Parliament. They united •Belgium to Holland—they built card-houses to protect their ill-assorted kingd om —they gave Poland to Russia and its ports to Prussia—and they restored the petty German and Italian despots—these were their glories, and w ith these they have been so self-elated that the world can scarcely hold than ; sad now, elm! the sur vivors are fated to behold their mighty !Akio cum bling to pieces amidst the scorn, contempt, and ri dicule of all mankind. This •is • enough to produce dolorous laments from Lord LONDONDERRY, brother of the once renowned CASTLEREAGH, and himself a states man in those times—from the Duke of WELLING TON, whose well supplied military chest assisted in so many victories—and from lArd ABERDEEN, the urbane representative of England and the Stock Exchange in so many negoeiations. They neglect to consider, as the CHANCELLOR told them, that changes render new policy necessary, and that the chimerical proj.cti of 1814 are untenable in 1831. It certainly is calculated at this time to answer no good purpose, to hold up the King of Holland as an ill-treated personage, and thereby encourage that irritation which at this moment is threatening so much mischief; while its display can do him, if really injured by any fault not his own, no good whatever. Therefore, after several long speeches, in which Lord CAERNARVON and Lord HOLLAND took part, Lord LONDONDERRY withdrew his formal motion for papers. In the HOUSE or ComMONS, the indefatigable and punctual Mr. /I t.mr appeared in the fore ground, as usual, with• his budget of petitions. He presented two against the Corn Laws,—one from the working classes of Manchester, and another from those in Westminster. The first was ordered to be printed; but the second, which stated that " many of the people bad fallen vic tims to the despotic Corn Laws," was, at the in stance of Lord ALTHORP, Mr. HU ME, and Mr. O'Cox wELL, withdrawn, though Mr. HUNT with spirit defended the language as suited to the sub ject. Mr. O'CONNELL called attention to the legal impunity at Kilkenny, which 200 Orangemen had recently obtained for their atrocities at Ma ghan, while some Catholics, who merely resisted, had been convicted and punished ! Mr. CRA mrroN doubted the veracity of Mr. O'CoNt4b:Les informant ; but the latter stated that he was a nobleman of high rank, and that the Crown Solicitor excluded all Catholics from the jury. On the last point Mr. CRAMPTON expressed his doubts ; but Mr. LEADER confirmed Mr. O'Cox ft ELL's statement, and added, that every liberal Protestant bad also been excluded by the Crown Solicitor. Captain GORDON likened these statements to that about the touts of the Grand Jury at Carlow. In reply, Mr. O'CONNELL s t a t e d , that he was ready to prove by credible and good authority,' at the bar of the House, that four toasts were given: First, " Captain Graham' and the brave Yeomanry of Newtownbarry ;" secondly, " Our heels on the necks of the Papists in cold blood ;" thirdly, " The Pope in the yillory of hell, and the devil. pelting bim with priests;" fourthly, " King William the Third who delivered us from the fangs of the Papists," &c. &c. Further, three or four Magistrates of the county of Carlow were in the room at the time.— As to the Hon. Member who thought proper to rise up and contradict these facts, what would the House think of the authority of one capable of swearing—actually swearing—that Roman Catho lics believed that Roman Catholic Priests could tarn persons into hares and goats ? This Captain GORDON denied. Mr. BLACYNEY, M.P. for Carlow, said, there was nu doubt the toasts had been drunk while several Grand Jurymen and Magistrates were present. Mr. KENNEDY complained of Capt. GORDON'S conduct in Scotland. Mr. STAN LZY admitted that he had information that the toasts were given at a late hour. Mr. SHIEL thought the magistrates ought to be immediately dismissed ; and he then stated that he had fetched, from the Library of the House, the evidence of Capt. Gordon, in which be had sworn, as stated by Mr. O'Cox w Lu g and H &RAD IT. Lord TULLAMORE admitted that the toasts were drunk. What a scandalous affair— and Carlow within a few miles of Newkirk nbarry ! The opposition were then querulous about foreign affairs, but they obtained no information. Sir R. VT V TAN, at the request of Lord PA LMRRSTODI, postponed his motion . In the Reform Committee, the schedule E L con taining only Portsmouth, Rochester, Hull, and Sandwich, was passed, and these places re spectively, with Yonne, Chatham, Stroud, Seel. costes, Deal, and %Valmer, are to return 2 members each. During the discussion of au amendment about Rochester, Mr. Gou Lavas said that the principle applied to the Tyne, in regard to Gates head, was not extended to the Medway, an insinu ation which being understood to apply to Lord DURHAM'S interest at Gateshead, was loudly haired by the Opposition ; on which Mr. THOMAS DUNCOMBE exclaimed, that if this were intended to insinuate that there , was an unfair extension of Members to Durham, (Loud cheers from the opposition benches) and if it were meant to be insinuated that Lo r d DURHAM bad exercised his influence to effect t h at a d van t a ge. be would resent it as a base and wicked calumny. (Great agitation, and cries of Chair.) The CHAIRMAN hoped the words were used only in the beat of debate—but Mr. D. said be soberly and discreetly repeated them. Several Members' then spoke—but Mr. D. refused to retract, and said he would submit to any penalty, unless Mr. G. would say that he did not mean the insinuation. This was treated as a defiance ; and Mr. G. remaining silent, great confusion arose, and many Members spoke in rapid succession. At length, the SPEAKER advised that it should be passed over ; and, on a division, there were 252 to 152. Christ-Church was then agreed to be united to Southwark. The House then went into Committees on the Princess Victoria's annuity, and on the Militia Pay Bill. Mr. HustE gave notice that he shottid move for members for the -colonies. At one o'clock, Mr. RICE brought in a Bill to repeal the duty on candles—last but not least. Thi3 day the kiNc; carne from Windsor, to St. James's Palace, whore his Majesty held a Privy Council, which was attended by all the Cabinet Ministers. In the evening his Majesty returns to Windsor.

Extract of a letter, dated Berlin, Aug. 3 :—" I t is rewound that the Emperor of Austria will come to Prague, while the King of Prussia is at Toplitz, and that the two mo narchs will meet there.

The greatest dependence is placed upon government. and on the efficacy of the measures which it will take to ward off this horrid malady.
