The Sun. — London, England, 1841-11-01 00:00:00

EVENING SUN a Cabinet:dinner at Lord Harrowby's, in Grosvenc 0!- square, were committed to the Tower, viz. :—Artb cur Thistlewood, James Digs, John Harrison, William I )a vidaon, James Wilson, John T. Brunt, Richard Tidd, s nd John Monument;' and several others were sent to differ ant prisons. Thistlewood, Ings, Davidson,Brunt, and Ti were executed - in front of New - gate on the Ist of 31 ay. Thus close the annals of this fortress as a State prism 1.• "It has been customary from a very early per. ;.0d after the conquest, for all our Sovereigns, at the tin les of their coronation, to go in great state and processi on from the Tower, through the City to Westminsti with crafts and companies in their richest liver' , )s, with music and banners. This custom was discontinu ed by Charles", in consequence of the plague, which vi as tbcn raging, but at the coronation of his successor, on the 23d of April, 1661, it was again observed with in creased splendour, and four triumphal arches IV ere erected in different parts of the city. Since that pk iod the ceremony has never been revived, in consequet ace of the enormous expense which it always occasioned the city, as well as Government.' All the domestic ail r• xt meats of the ancient Palace within the Tower were tail - .en down during the reigns of James 11. and William ,a nd Mary." ACCOUNT OF THE ARMOURY. The extensive building subjected to the ravag es ce conflagration is too well - known to require any descrip tion ; a lthough adjoining the splendid W hite lower, •et the atter beautiful erection has received little or no damage. The Armoury was well known as contahri og an immense number of stands of arms, amounting to fp Me 150;000 to 200,000- ; all in such a state as to be fit.: !el immediate and effective service. These arms being tastefully arranged in various forms and directions pi •e -sented a most beautiful appearance. A cornice a as tastefully composed of the breastplates of ancient armor ir, pistole, and other weapons. The spaces between i lie windows wore occupied by various elegant devic also formed of arms, 'swords, bayonets, &c. On ea rh s'.de of the entrance door was a representation oft he, respectively rising and setting sun, placed in cramee of brass-handled hangers, - with dog-headed pummels, be_ el those used by marines when on service as regimen is. There were in the centre of the room four colurn: is, twenty- two feet high, round which pistols and otl Jor weapons formed an oval un the ceiling above. -th a a table, and enclosed in a eiass case, were the sword ei sash of the Duke of York ; and opposite a curie me can non, taken by the French at Malta, and made o f mixed metal resembling gold, representing, in bas-re: t iel the le id of a grand master of Malta, supported by gi ni &c. In various parts of the same room were to bet equally interesting relics of former days in great nun. b , and variety, including many arms taken from the Set, tx rebels in 1715 ; the arms taken from Sir Willi a Perkins and others concerned in the intended assay nation of William 111. ; two swords that were cart before the Pretender when proclaimed " King" Seteland, &c. The guns, &c., there kept were elven beautifully bright, and continued so till required. • service, they then being 'bronzed for the land, blacked for the marine. The floor above this, called Tentereom, was formerly used as a depository for Varie deeeriptions of camp equipage, but lately had been tun into a store for military accoutrements, &c. The grow floor, containing the train of artillery, was the room . which were placed formerly the pieces of ordnance in• tended for field service, which, however, were ;erne wed to and kept at Woolwich, and the room was, before the late misfortune, filled with small arms, &c., ready for immediate use. Among the many curiosities on this floor were two pieces of ordnance, recast from s ease French guns taken at Cherbourg, in 1753 ; two pi aces taken from the walls of Vigo, in 1704, by Lord 4 2ob ham • a piece of brass ordna nce taken at the bat! le of Ramillies by the Duke of Marlborough ; a large ne n•tar used by -William 111. at the siege of -Namur; awe eden gun, said to have been used at the sie g e of Boulo g t e b y the t uke of Suffolk, to intimidate the inhabitants e ten small cannon, presented by the brass-founders of Lose ,don to Charles If. when he was a boy, &c. The late edifice was that which replaced the old ( )rd nance-offiee, which was burnt down in 1738, the .11 fitter having been built on a portion of the site of the old Palace. With regard to similar ermouries as that in the To wer, Dr. Merzeth observes, " that it was very long bt yore any collection of armour was made and the several ar mouries of Europe formed , until the last age of ch . lval rotes splendour (the sixteenth century), when H .Fury VIII., Francis V., and Maximilian 1., laid four o t the best armouries in Europe. For the formation c 4' the armoury in the Tower of London, it appears, acco. to Stowe, that Richard 111. repaired the Tower, at. el, in his own inimitable manner, gave a commission t . one Thomas Daniel to seize for use within his realm as Many masons, bricklayers, and other workmen as shoe Id be thought necessary fur the expedition of the King's aorks within the Tower. THE GRAND STORE-HOUSE. The Grand Store-House is north of the . White 7 'over, a fine building of brick and hewn stones ; it extex ids in length 365 feet, and is 60 feet broad ; it was comm enced by James 11. and was finished by William 111. (1n the first floor of this edifice is that magnificent room. called the Small Armoury, in which he, with Queen ; Mary, his consort, dined in great state, having all the we errant workmen and labourers to attend them, dressed in. white gloves and aprons. On the south side of this struc ture, is a stately door case adorned with four col umns, an entablature, and a triangular pediment of the . Doric order. Under the pediment are the Queen's arms , with enrichments of trophy work, by the celebrated. artist, Gibbons. At the west- end of this building is situate the-4 ttirch, founded by Edward 111., and dedicated to St. PO - ter in chaiir, in which are deposited the remains of many noble and some Royal personages executed withi n the Tower or on the hill, and buried here in obscuritj At the east ofthis building is situate the newly-erects 3 high Tower, in which the regalia and all the Crown, jewels are kept." The officers to whom the government of the Ta,wer is committed are the Constable of the Tower (the Di ike of Wellington), a Lieutenant, a Deputy-Lieutenant, a Fort- Major (commonly called Governor), a chaplain, a I ihysi cian, an apothecary,gentleman porter, yeoman porter a gen tleman gaoler, four quarter gunners,and forty warder s. the warders wear the same uniform as the Queen's Ye !omen of the Guard. They have round flat-crowned. caps, with bands of parti-coloured ribbons ; their coats,, which are of a peculiar make, but very picturesque, havt • large sleeves, but very full skir t s , gathe red round son iewt in the form of a petticoat. These coats are of fin e scar let cloth, laced round the edges and seams with t several rows of gold lace, and girt round their waists with a broad-laced girdle. Under their breasts and bacj cs they wear the Royal badge, an embroidered thistle an d rose, and also the initial letters V. IL in large characb As. A battalion of Foot Guards and a company of thi - 3 Royal Artillery generally have formed the garrison of th ti place. Providentially all has escaped the fire that was. truly valuable to posterity. No record has been burn , ?cl nor any document injured. On Saturday night, at ten o'clock, a fire broke out in No. 3, Golden -buildings, a small court next to the New Strand Theatre, adjoining Mr. Dickson's, the biker's, at • the house of a Mr. Cabers. The flames burst fc girth from the attic, and for a short time threatened the me st fearful consequences to the densely-drowded neighbour hood, the court being so small that an engine could not b e brought to work, except from the house of Mr: Dickt ton. The Phoenix engine of St. Mary-le-Strand, was first on the spot, and was immediately followed by the online of St. Clement Danes, they were quickly followed Isy the bri gade from Chandos-street, and, after half-an-hour's active exertion, the flames were got under. The excite ment in the immediate neighbourhood was *cry great, and the Strand was for a short time impassable. The F division of police kept the most excellent order. • FIRE NEAR THE MONUMENT.--About two o'clock on Saturday afternoon a fire of a very serious de scription was discovered raging on the premise s of Mr. Abel, Bed and Furniture Warehouse, No. 43, Fish street-hill. Immediatelythe police received information of the occurrence they - thehastened to the spot, whilst o thers proceeded to give. alarm to the ddiferent en gine stations in the City ; but long before any arrived, four small parish engines were the the spot, and had they been in working subdued, b destr l uct;.ve element to play.

If a legislator were to command us, as HEROD commanded, to put to death all the infants under a certain age ; if he were to insist on our leaving the aged under a tree to perish, as the Indians now do, and as the inhabitants of Northern Ger many formerly did; if he were to pass a law to carry into execution the famous suggestion of MAncus, known as painless extinction; or were he to decree, as was hinted to Sir J. GRAHAM, that the children of the aristocracy should be drowned in china bowls, the community would overflow with indignation; and that Legislator, instead f no_ differen ce in would be hurled from power, wti lout pity or rem orse. It can, of course, make in the nature of the thing ordered, whether it be ordered by one man, or about a ebelieve, obeyed, thousand, meetin g in two Houses of Parliament. All mankind,certainlyand all wo mankind, would agree with b us that such laws ought not to be\Vwhom so everthat t made. laws we shall be obeyed or not decideW h e When we whethersay this, e t h e right to rests with those who are called on to obey ; and in fact, it is utterly impossible to deprive indivi duals of that right , though they may be expos e d to the utmost ext r e mit y of punishment as th e pena lty of disobedience.

Somewhere about two years ago Mr. MACAU LAY found it necessary to vindicate the right of pro perty at great length in his addresses atEdinburgh. It ha d been seriously assailed by large bodies of the people. His eloquence. did not settle the ques tion which is now continually mooted, and nu merous bodies of the people have of late em phatically asked what right have the landlords to possess the land. In France and America the duty of political obedience hangs practically very loose on the people. So it does in some parts of this empire. He must be a most ig norant or foolish man who supposes that these subjects, which touch the very foundations of political-society, can now escape discussion. In fact such discussion now continually takes place ; and it is apparently the will of the Post's masters that the people should come to it maddened by hunger. Carried on under a calm temper, when the people were prosperous, at their case, and well fed, the result would be the improve ment of political society, and the establish ment of legislation on a sound basis; carried on as at present, with the multitude rendered savage by hunger and insults, while their rulers are in flated by vanity and ambition, it can only end in exasperation and destruction. We say then to the Post's masters—be warned ! At Boston, in Lincolnshire, on Monday last, Mr. CHRISTOPHER, the Member tbr the Lindsey division of Lincolnshire, made a long speech, in \which lie followed the Duke of RICHMOND in informing, Sir ROBERT PEEL that the landlord s placed him in power, and the landlords would turn him out if he did not aid them in their ex- tortions; eulogized the present Corn-laws, and denounced the Anti-Corn-law League and the import Duties Committee. Nevertheless, Mr. CHRISTOPHER is not quite satizfied with the Corn-law, and thinks, like most of his party, that it needs some alteration. However much the Pro-Corn-law men may rave in general terms, when they come to speak of particulars they al•, find fault with some part of the present laws Mr. CHRISTOPHER, for example, thus speaks o the mode of taking the averages under the best of all possible laws : Nothing can be more • fallacious than the present system of taking the averages. The benefit is reaped by a few brokers and speculators, both in England and on the Continent, who combine to keep up nominal prim in order that they may inundate the market with a quantity of foreign grain ; whereas, inasmuch as these prices are purely fi ctitious, te British grower derives no benefit from them, and the landed interest incur the blame of selling their produce at extravagant prices to the poor people. Is it not perfectly notorious that these frauds have been lately practised to a large extent ? So completely is the corn trade in the hands of Jew speculators, both here and on the Continent, that under the present mode of taking the averages, fictitious prices may be returned, to the injury of the grower in this country, and to every person who pursues an honest trade in that article. Of course Mr. CHRISTOPHER has his plan for remedying these fictitious sales and fictitious prices, which it will be time enough for us to discuss when it is propounded to Parliament. According to our view, the disease has got too much a-bead to yield to such palliatives. It is, however, satisfactory to find Corn-law gentle men denouncing " fictitious prices," and proving that they are the consequence of their own fa- vourite law. But while Mr. CHRISTOPHER is thus loud in his condemnation of these averages, he is equally loud in praising them. The " purely fictitious prices" of the Jew speculators, both here and on the Continent, produced the following results : I will endeavour to ensure to the people a supply of of food from the Continent, in the event of a deficient harvest. This is the principle of the Corn-law, and to a great extent it has answered the intentions of those who framed it. Within the last few weeks, two millions and a half of wheat have been set free at a duty of Is. a quar ter, when the average price reached 73s ; whereas, on the principle of a fixed duty of Bs. a quarter, the con sumer must have paid 7s. a quarter more for that wheat which was set free at a duty of Is. He would, however, alter that part of the law which has brought about such benefit to the Consumers. We see what the cunning man would be at. Ile would alter the sliding scale so as to take it out of the power of the " JeW speculators" to import so much corn at such a low rate of duty. He would levy a duty of never less than ss. a quarter on wheat, what ever may be its price, and 20s. should it fall to 50s. While the consistent and honest gentle man praises the present system, because it al lowed 2,500,000 quarters of wheat to be set free at ls. duty per quarter, he wishes to take effec tual means, if he can, to prevent such an occur rence in future. He is all love for the sliding scale at one moment as compared to a fixed duty, and at the next be actually proposes a minimum fixed duty, to put an end to the very advantage for which he lauds the sliding scale. Whether such talk be the offspring of conceited, forgetful, illogical ignorance, or sheer impu dence, we cannot tell; but the speech of Mr. CHRISTOPHER resembles the speeches of most of his claSs, and they all proceed from one or other of these despised qualities. We have given in another part of the Paper full details of the great fire which took place in the Tower of London on Saturday night ; and, while willing to pay every tribute of praise to the energy of the officers and soldiers of the garrison, we cannot sufficiently reprobate the negligence of the authorities who have charge of this ancient national, establishment. According to various accounts which we have received, no water could be had for at least one hour. No preparation, in fact, appears to have been made for such an occurrence ; the very fire-brigades w7uo came to render assist: ance, were shut, out; and though the Thames was flowing pas,t its walls, and a thousand active men were ready and willing to save the place from de:,truction, this venerable building was as desti tute of protection as the most lonely cot in a rural district. WO civilians should have sup posed that when so many national relics were con tained within its walls, and they were entrusted to the guardianship of the Army, under the Duke of WELLINGTON as High Constable, some means_ would have been adopted for obtaining a supply of water at any period of the tide. This could easily have been done. A communication with the river, at a trifling expense, could easily have been made, by which an ample supply of water could be had at any hour, and thereby have saved not only a million of money, but also glo rious monuments of a nation's fame, - which no money can restore. What is the use of a Consta ble of the Tower and a Deputy Constable, and fifty other nominal guardians of the place, unless they perform the duty for which they are amply paid? Many thousands a year are paid to them by the public for guarding the place; they make their °likes sinecures, and the people arc the sufferers. We have received Paris JouLals of Friday and Saturday, with advices from Madrid to the 0 5th ult. The insurrection in the north of Spain appears to be completely suppressed, and with out that effusion of blood which was generally apprehended from the sanguinary character of the Spanish people.

It is said that the Deputies who are coming to Paris, are a little ashamed of having suffered themselves, rast year, to be led away to vote fur the bastilles ; that the opinions of the provinces had had its iniiuence on them, and that on the eve of new elections, they compreheo the neco3sity of repairing as far as possible the faith which they have committed.— Gazette de France.

A general amnesty will be proclaimed on the occas!on of her Ma jesty's fete fur all the Carlists, without exception, in consideration of their patriotic conduct during the late events, having refused to take any part in the insurrec tionary movements of O'Donnell. An army of observation of 60,000 men willbe assembled between Alcala, Burjon, and Vittoria, to keep the north ern provinces in awe, and shortly to bring about a modifi cation of fueros in harmony with the constitution of the Monarchy.—Constitutionned. 'The Journal du Havre gives a report of the captain and crew of the brig Palmyra, of Lorient, which was run down at sea on the 14th inst., by the Jane Frances, Captain Crosby, an English vessel, bound from Sunder= laud to Marseilles. It appears that in the evening, when •at about 12 miles to the E.N.E. of Whitby, running close to the wind, the Palmyra saw the other ship com ing down upon her, and hailed her to keep clear, but she ran aboard of the French ship, with such velocity and force, that her crew had only time to jump on board the Jane Frances before their own vessel went down, carrying with her the cabin-boy, whom it was impossible to save. The report complains that the people of the Palmyra stood on the English ship's deck a quar ter of an hour before any one belonging to her spoke a word to them, a proof that all the Englishmen were asleep, It adds that the Jane Frances continued her eourse towards Marseilles, but in half an hour, finding that she had sprung her bowsprit, she tacked about and returned to Sunderland. A Berlin letter says—" It is believed that the marri age of the Prince Royal of Bavaria is,determined upon; This affair was of some importance, as the Protestants of the kingdom required, as a guarantee, that the futtire Queen should be of the Lutheran Church, as the present Queen and the Queen Dowager are. The intended con sort of the heir to the Bavar►an throne is the sister of the Queen of Greece; . the Princess Elizabeth Maria Frede rica, daughter of the Grand Duke of Oldenburg. She was born on the Bth of June, 1820. The hand of the Princess Ahlegonda will not, it appears, be granted E l to the Duke de Bordeaux, but to the hereditary "'zinc*. of -Modena."

" Who runs may read." rostzxGN. Madrid was tranquil up to the 25th ult. The Military Commission had sentenced Brigadier-General Quiroga, who assisted in directing the attack on the Palace, to be shot. The high rank of this officer forbids the indulg ence of a hope that he will be pardoned. A revolutionary conspiracy of a formidable character was discovered in Brussels on the 29th ult. In one of the suburbs of that city two new six-pounders and two field-pieces, with horses and ammunition, were seized. They were conveyed by the police to the Town-hall. Eight persons were arrested, including Generals Van dersmissen and Vandermecren, a captain whose name is -not given, with some individuals of high rank. All the particulars that have yet reached us will be found in another column. The Memorial Bordelais says that M. •Olozaga, the Spanish Ambassador at Paris, has been invested with the Grand Cross of the Order of Isabella the Catholic, as a reward for his recent services. Major-Generals Ayerbe Evariste, San Miguel, Charon , and A l cala • have been promoted to the rank of Lieutenant-Ge nerals. Other rewards have also been granted by Es partero, and among them the title of Grandee of Spain to General liodil. The Courrier Francais and the National abuse the Go vernment for not increasing the French Army and Navy. According to these organs of public opinion too great an amount of taxes cannot be expended in equipping fleets and rising armies. PUZIAG OPINION. Contrasting the present with the past Government., the Morning Post says e---" We have now an Adminis tration which, if it announces its design of doing any thing, will feel itself bound to carry that design into effect. The present Administration does rot intend to provide itself with the. convenient plea of having been .obstructed, as a sufficient excuse for failing in its pro fessed objects. What the present Government proposes to do, it will do, or resign the Government into other hands. It is clear that, in such a ease, much caution as to the announcement of intentions is necessary. Our present Ministers do not intend to rest their claim to public support upon what they undertake to do, but are not able to do. They have no ambition to prolong their administrative position, and their individual aggrandise ment, by such means. They will undertake 'nothing hastily ; but what they undertake they will do. They will announce nothing for the gratification of talkers, before they have had time to consider whether it is politic or nut. When plans are really formed they will be announced ; when announced they will be undertaken in good earnest ; and, when thus undertaken, they will be accomplished."— If, as the Post observes (and it is good authority on such matters) Ministers will announce their plans when they have formed them, then it is clear, from their pre sent dogged silence, that as yet, they have formed no plans at all. And thee are the men who came into power with an implied pledge that they would hasten to relieve the country of those distresses which, they assert ed, their pfedecessors had brought on it ! They have now been upwards of two mouths in office ; they are fully aware of the pressing necessities of the people ; they know that the long, inclement winter months are close at hand ; that discontent is everywhere prevalent ; that gaunt famine, with despair and anarchy in his train, is stalking abroad through the manufacturing districts ; and that Swing has already begun to light his destruc tive torch ; and yet, though they know and see all this, Ministers,.on the showing of their own Journal, are, up to the present moment, unprovided with even the skele ton of a remedy ! Was there ever such a set of per verse, short-sighted, ill-conditioned incapables ! The Herald observes, in reference to M'Leod's case : " We should do well, while our sinews are yet strong even for the very conflict which, had M‘Leod been con demned, must ere now. have taken place, but which his acquittal- has providentially averted, to assume a firm and inflexible attitude in enforcing the immediate and unequi vocating settlement by the United States of dormant ques tions and latent pretensions which can be left unsettled by no Government honestly desirous of maintaining peace. The north-eastern and the Western boundary ques tions are of this kind. It as' little consorts with the honour of Britain as it favours the dark and unprincipled designs of those lawless adventurers who seek their own bad ends and private aggrandiSement from the spoliation of British territory and property — to leave in lingering uncertainty the formal 'specification and establishment of the respective frontiers of the two . Powers in those regions."—The spirit of this, however 'carefully disguised, is one of strong animosity towai ds America, and cannot but have a mischievous effect. Why talk just now about the United States equivocating, respecting the _settlement of the boundary question ? Such a sneer can have but one result—namely, that of ,exasperating still further a country with whom it is our interest, not less than our duty, to cultivate amicable relations. The Chronicle says—" Sir Robert Peel will not - be so easily allowed to forget the time he so pompously asked for. That time is the iron which has entered into the soul of the people ; and should he dare to meet Parlia ,Ammt with poor, mean, contemptible measures, a burst of indignation will greet him, that will send hiiu once more into private life. Of this the landed interest' is be-. coming painfully aware ; and they are becoming pain fully afraid lest their Prime Minister be tempted *to be a little extravagant in the way of figfilling some of his premises. to now they are. setting their organs to work. So be it. Blackwood intimates that, at some distant period, Sir Robert Peel may be gathered to the House of Peers, after his timous labours are over. So be it also, and let him him take tempus fugit for a motto. Meaatime, he had need rise early , and sit up late . ; for assuredly there is a .tempest brewing that will test his principles. All we hope is, that that tempest will not sweep down something more valuable than the 'sliding scale' and Sir Robert Peel's Premiership."—We are not alarmists ; but we do most firmly and conscien tiously believe that a tempest is brewing which, if not • looked to in time, will sweep . away something more than a Tory Ministry. The signs of its approach are already visible on the skirts of the horrizon. "Far off its coming gbonts." Let who will suffer by it ; one thing is certain, that - it will fall with 'crushing power on the Monopolists. The very sullenness of the people is one of the surest indications of danger. It is the deep, ominous lull that foretells the approaching hurricane. The following is from the Edinburgh Chranicle:— " When will trade revive ? The intense interest attached to this question is not confined to the ; manufacturing districts. In every part of the country the inquiry is anxiously .and constantly made—' When will 'trade re vive ?' All ask what none can answer. The vital ener gies of the nation seem prostrate, and not the least prospect as yet appears of returning animation. From almost every manufacturing town, the cry is ruin, ruin, and increasing misery." We quote the following from the Cambrian :—" It cannot be expected that this district can escape, more than the rest of the country, its share of distress re-' suiting from the blighting effects, of monopoly.. Ac cordingly we shall be prepared to hear from time to time tidings 'of sufferings and privations as the rigour of the season increases. Already the iron in terest knows .not where to turn itself to find a vent for its products. Stocks having accumulated beyond the demands of the markets, forges become extinct, and workmen silently suffer for want of work, The eondie don of the mining districts is getting truly lamentable." In a leading article on the present state of the country the Leeds Times says—" The gloom of winter is now fast gathering around tit, and thick clouds seem alike to envelope our physical atmospheres. The wail of deep distress comes up from all the haunts of industry : the manufacturing and the agricultural districts echo with the cry of mourning and lamentation: labourers and ar tizans droop their heads in idleness, slid with their wives and families retire into the remote corners of our towns and cities to starve and to die in quiet. Shrinking even from the light of the sun; and without human sympathy, save of those as wretched as themselves, the poor dumb tortured millions pine away in silent submission and hopeless misery. There are nevertheless a few ominous symptoms abroad, that the starved classes are in a des perate state, and ready for the commission of retaliation and revenge upon the more fortunate portions of society.''

CONPiRACY AT BRUSSELS, We have this moment received a copy of ,Le Courrier Beige, published late on Saturday evening, from which we make the following im- lortant extract:— (From the Courrier Beige.) Whilst France has been convulsed . by emeutss, Spain insurrection, and the United States and England by agita tion, the world beheld the tranquillity of Belgium with astonishment. It was scarcely possible that this state of things could continue, for Belgium is every bit as consti tutional, and, consequently, must " go ahead" as fast as other nations which keep continually progressing in their onward course. The Powers that be are not a jot less stronger, therefore we also must, show some signs of life, and thus this night have we also had our conspiracy. It was not the police, however, who ] threw any obstacles in the way to prevent this explosion, which has been inevitable ever since the fetes of September. The funds of the police arc inefficient to provide for the safety of the State. There can be no doubt that the conspirators were all in earnest in this affair, and "meant business." Two new six-pounders and two field pieces, with horses and ammunition, have been seized in one of our suburbs. Six persons were arrested last night, among whom it is said, are V. P., the Intendant of the 3" arechaussee, and a captain of the wounded of September. Two Generals have fled. The place where the cannon-balls were cast has been discovered, as also the person who made the cartridges. The four pieces of cannon that were seized are in the Town-hall. . Attempts have been made to seduce some subaltern officers of the garrison, who denounced them. To-morrow was the day fixed for the execution of the plot, which had ramifications at Ghent, Antwerp, and Leige, among the disaffected. It might have succeeded if it broke out in the night, for the officers living in the suburbs might have been killed before they could get to their barracks, This accounts for the order given to all the officers of the garrison to return to . the city. From what transpired, the authorities pretend to have the clue to a vast counter-revolutionary conspiracy, which has been continuing for several months. It is said that the Ministry have sent numerous orders and instructions to the province this morning. There was a Council of Ministers this morning, and despatches have been sent to the King. The pieces of artillery were seized at the Tivoli Gar dens. The conspirators consisted partly of Orangeists, and partly of true patriots ; each of which party had its Diego Leon represented by the two Generals, V. D. S., and V. D. M., who have takett . to their heels. The bro ther of the former has been arrested. Of a truth, Bel gium is a country of imitators. We have also received the following details: - .During thethole of yesterday afternoon, the police and authorities were on the alert. Thousands of ru mours were afloat, respecting the going and comings of these functionaries. It was at first thought to relate to a band of robbers, which, it is well known, has exten sive, ramifications in this city. This, however, the bet ter informed said, was caused by a conspiracy against the welfare of the State. The law officers, accompanied by the police agents, re paired to the different quarters of the town to make domi,-. ciliary visits at the residence of the persons suspected. Amongst others they proceeded to the house of M. Decre hen in the Rue d'Argent. They were compelled to break open the doors, and seized several articles. Gendarmes then went in pursuit of M. Decrehen, who was arrested and taken to the bureau of Public Safety. He is re ported to have had a violent altercation with the Minister of War. As M. Decrehen alighted from the carriage before tl.e door of the Minister of the Interior, he suc ceeded in escaping, but was, subsequently, recaptured. Large bodies of people assembled about the streets, and troops are stationed about the town. M. Decrehen has been interrogated, but nothing is as yet known. Some other arrests have taken place, and 'the Guards at the, posts about the town have been dou bled. A battalion of the 10th has just arrived at Brussels. The whole of the municipal, legal, and military autho rities, have been up all night, and warrants have been issued against a large number of persons. Amongst those already arrested are the ex-General Vandersinissen; General Vandermeeren; Vandersmissen, a merchant, brother of the General ; Parys, military Intendant, with his Secretary ; M. Van S., a Government employe ; Parent, ex-Commandant of the Corps Francs. Alto gether upwards of 20 persons have been arrested, and warrants are out against several others. Amongst the articles seized at the houses of the con spirators are four small pieces of cannon, with all the necessary necessaries. These were taken at the house of M. de Beaumont, formerly an officer of Artillery. At the house of M. P., in the Rue des Dominicains, was seized a large chest, containing balls, powder, three pis tols, a carbine, Sm. The judicial authorities are also inspecting the premises of M. T., a coachraaker, outside the Lacken gate. The authorities declare that they have discovered the traces of a widely-extending conspiracy. The Ministers assembled in Council this morning, and several expresses have been sent off by the King. P.S. Three o'clock, P.31.-G enerals Vandersmissen and Vandermeeren, who were supposed to have fled have been found concealed in the house of apainter. Malaise, formerly a subaltern officer, member of the order of Leopold, a tinman, living out of the Neumer-gate, manu factured the cartridges. The extra locomotives were sent last night to Antwerp, Ghent, and Leige. General Lecharlies set out yesterday at three o'clock, for Ghent.- , . FLANDtftg' AND DUTCH MAIL. BRUSSELS, OCT. 28.—The average price of Wheat last week was 22f. 31c., and that of Rye 12f. 98e. Their Majesties came to town yesterday.

"No attempt has yet been made among us to reprint English and German works, which, h owe ver, is done with success in France , and I think that if you reprinted those works you might export a large. quantity . to Ame rica, where theAnglo-Saxon population daily increases, and the love of reading spreads more and more." The King set out this morning for his seat at Ardenne, and will return about the end of next week. We bear that the Session of the Chamber for 1841- 1842 will be opened by the king in person.
