On the sth the enemy threatened Antwerp ; on the 9th and 10th they were very near to the capital. " The line which it was necessary above all to protect was that extending from Malines to Diest. General Tieken de Terhove received orders to proceed to Lierre upon that line : General Daine received on the nth the most positive instructions to remove from his camp near Hasselt towards Diest, and to effect a junction with the Tieken division. This operation would have collected to gether a rather in - Tossing mass of combatants, and would have given to the army a superiority over the Dutch - one, the different divisions of which were then man ceuvring separately. " The motives' which prevented General Daine from obeying the orders so formally and se frequently given, will not be known except in the course of time. This General remained isolated until the 9th, when the Dutch army pushed on towards Liege. The Tieken division, as well as the other troops assembled in the neighleon-h, od of Aeischot, had marched on the morning of the 10th on Montaign, to take possession of this port, and to facilitate the much desired junction with General Daine. It was at the moment of attick that the division heard the, melao cho!y news of the defeat of General Wee. lnstcael of taking Montaien, it became ?recess try to march directly towattle Louvain, to make sure of that important gust, to protect the capital, and to approach nearer to the French army. It was on the I Ith, in the evening, that information was received at head-quarters that the Ca binet of the Hague did not intend to risk the Dutch army against the French one. On the 12th, in the morning, orders were given to concentrate the Belgian troops in Louvain itself, in order to prevent all hostilities, then hav ing no ulterior object. This movement was just begun, when the B Igian troops found themselves sharply attacked by far superior g.rees. Lerd William Ressell was sent on the part of the King as a parlementaire to the Dutch Ge neral, in older to give him information of the resolutions enterd into by King. William, end to put a close to hosti- Ities which then could produce no result. Lord W. Rus sell soon returned with a Dutch parlementaire, M jor Ceva. It was then (oily that it was known that the Mince of Orange himself commended on this point, and that the King, then stationed at the Belgian advanced pots, was but a few hundred yards from the General-in-Chief of the enemy. The result of this first negotiation was to have produced a cessation of fling zeong all the line, to stop the movement of the Prince of Saxe-Weimar, and to send preliminaries to the French army. After the depar ture hostilities recommenred unexpectedly, and the firing became very brisk. Sir Robert Adair, Minister of the British King at his Majesty's court, then offered to risk his lie in order to go to the Prince of Orange. He ran the gre nest dangers while endeavc.uting to put a stop to a battle which had no object. He proposed. on the part of the Prince of Orange, an armistice, which would assure to him the possessien of the city of Louvain. The troops, in the mean time repulsed With great valour the attacks made on the city ; the artillery pat titularly distinguished itself. Although their fatigues had been very consideralne during the preceding days, there was no doubt but that they would have been able to defend the town. But the King was nut willing to expose so considerable a city as Louvain to the horrors of bombardment, as threatened if the armistice was not agreed to. As the occupation of Louvain, on ac count of the proximity of the French army, must necessa rily be of short duration and then there could tie no other object but peace, General Goblet was commissioned to ter minate the negotiations, and to arrange the terms of them. Although, by virtue of those negotiations, the corps under the command of the Prince of Saxe-Weimer was bound to stop, this General endeavoured to make himself master of the road from Louvain to Marine. The King cut his way along this road, took possession of the bridge of Campen hout, and placed himself in communication with General Tieken, then marching in the same direction. " The Prince of Saxe-Weimar, although having it fully in his power to become aware, from the cessation of the firing on the Tirlemont side, that an armistice existed, caused a firing to be kept up on the troops retiring to , w.irds Manes, and who, in conformity with the terms of the arrangements agreed upon, ought not to be molested during their muster. The Belgian troops occupied the city of Louvain on the 13th to half-past one o'clock. The retrograde movement of the Dutch being to take place without delay, the city found itself saved from the disasters of a bombardment, without being exposed to the vexa tions or reprisals of the Dutch, who, although they pos seesed the city, were not to lodge - therein. " Such is the resume of this short campaign, in which only one engagement took place, in which the Dutch army, so cope! ior in number, and augmented by the ad dition of so many mercenaries, did not, nevertheless, oblige us to experience even one defeat Holland . will suffer the consequences of her bad faith, and instead of escaping, as she perhaps expected, from the embarrassments drawn upon her by the blindness of those who govern her, she will lose even the smallest right to the support of all Go vernment., and to public sympathy. He who through a fit of bad humour runs the risk of producing a general war, deserves to be abandoned by his political ft tends ; he who attacks his enemy treacherously, and does not give one an opportunity of seizing his sword in his hand, merits that mankind should refuse hint even so much as com passion, and should leave him to suffer the penalties of his dishonourable conduct." (From the Brussels Papers.) BRUSSELS, AUG. 14.—A postscript to the Moniker B eige, posted up yesterday evening, contains the follow ing news : " It has ken agreed upon that the Dutch army shall commence its retrograde movement to-morrow, the 14th. " The Prince of Orange will send an ~ffici-r to Mar shal Gerard to inform him of the routes which the Dutch army will take, and to determine with him the places of halina every evening for both armies, that is, the Dutch and the French, because the French army is to accom pany the Dutch to the frontiers. The Prince has been p!etmd to grant to General Belliard, that no troops shall be quartered in the city of Lou Vain. The gates are guarded by the Dutch army, which has also placed picquets in the squares and market places to pre , erve gond order. " The corp of the Prince of Saxe Weimar, which was on the road to Brussels, will pass through the city of Louvain, to proceed to Tirlemont with the other divisions of the artny. " Provisions and forage will be furnished to the Dutch army, which will bivouack near Louvain, but not allowed to enter it." The Hussars of Orleans passed through this city at eleven o'clock last night, having marched in one day faun Mons. They were received with enthusiasm. The people cry " Vivent les Francais ;" the soldiers reply, Vivent lea Beiges." The regimental band played the Parisienne. To-day at eleven o'clock, the vanguard of the regiment of Lancers, of which the Duke of Netnotirs is Colonel, arrived at Bross,la. Fresh French troops arrived at Namur on the 12th and 13th,--especially a very fine regi ment of Dragoons. Major Ceva, Aide-de-camp to Prince Frederick, arrived here on the 12th with a flag a truce. The object of his mission was to convince himself whether the French had entered Brussels. Major Ceva returned to Prince Frede rick accompanied by two French officers. The Independant says—" When I announced to you the appearance id the English fleet off Ostend, I partici pated in the error of the bailiff of the port, who brought the news to Binges on the 10th in the evening, and sent it by a courier to Brussels, as I wrote to you. The fact is, the mistake was occasioned by an event unusual at Ostend —the appearance of seven merchantmen at once, at nightfall." AtixwEitr, Auo. 13.—Notwithstanding the reports profusely circulated by the enemies of order, the most perrect tranquillity prevails here. N o h ost ili t i es have been committed during the night : all i s qu i et i n the citadel and on all the tel occupied by the Dutch. The Dutch having removed all the buoys in the Scheldt, - probably to impede the entrance of the English fleet, th e commander of the garrison, according to his instructions, has given orders to six or eight experienced pilots to proceed immediately from -Antwerp to Ostend, to offer their services to the Ent lish men of war, which we sup pose will soon come up the Scheldt.- 7 -Brussels Papers, Aug. 15.

CLERICAL JIJSTICES.-A Dublin Paper cpntains the following numerical statement of Parson Jus tices. It may account in some degree for the mai-go vernment of Ireland :-" Antrim 9, Armagh 10, Carhr t e 7, Cavan 13, Clare 11, Cork 52, Donegal 20 Down 21, Dublin 2, Fermanagh 9, Galway 7, Kerry 15, Kild are 7, Ki:kenny 15, King's 'County 8, Leitrim 7, Limerick IS, Londonderry 18, Longford 3, Louth 3, Mayo 13, Meath 11, Monaghan 3, Queen's County 9, Roscommon 11, Sligo 16, Tipperary 16, Tyrone 38, Waterford 5, West- Pneath 5, Wexford 6, Wicklow 6. The total is 391, and we believe the resident or acting Justices of all Ireland are under 1,000 ; at least there were not, two or three years ago, mere than that number receiving gratuitous copies of the statutes. The Parson Justices being 391, it follows that nearly every third holder of a benefice in Ireland is also a holder of the worst species of plurality -News. PRICES OP THE STOCKS Bank Stock 3 per Cent.

C....44.,. - 1;,--(41 -. ) ) *AM LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 18, 1831. The - Reform Bill was discussed again last night in Committee, but did not make all the progress that might have been expected. On moving the fifteenth clause, which provides that " towns which are counties of them selves be included in adjoining counties for county elections," Lord ALTHORP entered into some general remarks illustrative of the intentions of Ministers. At present there were votes for those county towns, which Government deemed it expedient to extend to the adjoining county. Lord ALTHORP also said, in alluding to the constituency of counties, that it was proposed to introduce an amendment regarding annui tants, to require that the interest in freeholds of such parties shall be ten pounds and upwards. Colonel DAVIES was altogether opposed to this clause, on which, after some desultory conversa tion, the House divided, when it was found that there were 164 for it, and 124 against it. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER after wards moved the 16th clause, part of which only was adopted. We hope his Lordship in future will allow the Reform Bill to come on at a reasonable hour, and not permit questions of comparatively little importance to precede it. Of late it has, somehow or other, been compelled to _give way to matters of the most trivial interest, and even on Satur day—the day especially put aside for its discus sion —is, we see, to be preceded by a motion of the MarquiS of CHANDOS. This ought not to be. Reform should precede every other Parliamentary business until it is fairly brought to a close, and people's minds are in some degree at rest. In the course of the even ing Sir R. PEEL, with an assumption of gra vity that must have been torture to him, pro posed that the consideration of the great question be adjourned for three months !

From the statement in the Allgemehze Zeitung of the re-crossing of the Vistula by RUDIGER, we should infer that the cause of Poland is not so desperate as has been repre sented : BRUSSELS, AUGUST 16.—The King has returned to our city. Unanimous acclamations welcomed him. The people comprehend that the King has kept his word—that he has done his duty—that he has gained his crown, while others did not know how to gain their epau lettes. However great a passionist any one may be, it must be acknowledged that whenever the King was at the head of his troops, animating them by his courage and example, they nobly sustained the shock, notwithstanding the far ►nldable superiority of the enemy. Neither at Basslevel& nor at Louvain did we sustain any defelt. If Louvain capitulated it was because on the eve of the entire cessa tion of hostilities it was useless to expose that city to the horrors of a bombardment. The deplorable incident which deranged all the plans of the King was the refusal (three times repeated) of the General-in Chief of the army of the Meuse to execute superior orders, and the inconceivable rout which followed this refusal. _ Let us, however, be just, and remark, that in three preceding encounters that General had the advantage. In the ab sence of men of great military talent, we may even say, in the want of military organ►zation, it is the presence of the King that saved us front a complete defeat. It is his presence, too, that has saved the Belgic name. But for him, the attempt just made hy the King of Holland would have led either to the restoration, or to the union with France, or to a kind of mixed State or partition. This is what the Belgians, who are the friends of their country, must not forget in the difficult trials which still , await us. " Louvain, August 13. " In consequence of the convention concluded between the Prince of Orange and Lieut.-General Belliard, the troops under the command of his Royal Highness will quit to morrow (the 14th) their Fo,itions in Louvain and the en virons, and go the same day to occupy cantonments on the road of Thletnont ; and that of Diest, Bautersem and St. Jooris-Vinge will he the last villages occupied by it on the side of Louvain. On the following days the route of his Royal Highness's army will continue towards St. Trond and Hasselt. Tongres is also occupied by his Royal Highness's troops. " The city of Louvain will be evacuated tomorrow (the 14th), at ttn o'clock in the nt•trning. His Royal Highness will have his head-quarters on the 14th and 15th at Tirlemont. " By order• of his Royal Highness the Prince of Orange, Commander-in Chief of the army. (Signed) " Baron CONSTAN T DE REBECQUE, " Lieutenant-General, Chief of the General Staff." Asrwene, AuO. 13.—The oonsequence of the cesva. ter.. tion of hostilities seem to unfold themselves. Since eleven o'clock in the morning the squadron has made a retrograde movement. The Proserpine corvette, the Echo brig, and eight or ten gun boats, which were anchored to fore the road of the Pipe •le Tabac, have fallen down the river— the corvette to Fort St. Mtrie, the brig to Fort Petit. The gun-boats are out of aight. LOU VAIN, AUG. 15 —The King, whocatte here yester day evening, set out this afternoon for Brussels. fiefor, his di Neture he visited the field of battle of the 13th. The French forces arrived here to-day from their head quarters, with Marshal Gerard and another French General, and. immediately proceeded to the laitel where King Leopold lodged. The King received the Pi inces and ihe persons who accompanied them with great cordiality, arid kept them to breakfast. At three o'clock the Pt inces took leave of the King, and with Marshal Gerard and .neral Bell'ard set out for Watre. The fine regiment of Belgian infoory arrived here yesterd .y at si:t o'clock. Tl , e Dutch all lefr, however, before noon. Part of the French Amy has arrived here and in the environs, and another p t-t. near Tirlemont, which it will enter to-morrow after the depot !tire of the Dutch. The Dutch as they passed Louvain carried off thirty ,even carriages loaded with arms, ammunition, and military effects. All these things will be claimed by the French army. CRACOW, AUG. S.—The Russian corps under Genera' Iludiger, 26,000 strong, crossed the Vis ula on the 2Sili of July, and on the 29th occupied Ortlow and Ostrovich. rhe Cossacks advanced almost to Keelie and R'tdow, so that in the first place the Magistrates packed up and went to Wiechew ; but, on the 31st, General Rudiger with the oreater part of his troops retired . to the right hank of the Vistula, leaving only 5,000 men on the left bank. It is believed that this is in consequence of a demonstration fnlae by General Chrzanowski against Pulawy and JoseeelE Up to the lot of this month nothing important had taken place between the main armies.

O'CoN NELL, and about twenty other Irish Members, had an audience of the CHANCELLOR of the ENCIIEQUER in Down log-street. Sir ROBERT PEEL appeared in the House of Commons, on Turfylay night, tolerably- early; and appa rently rather unexpectedly, for there was a momentary sus pension of business (Sir GEO. CLeitx's motion about the non-return was on at the time) till the Right Hon. Baro net had adjusted himself in 1143 seat, and convinced all gazers that it was really himself: Since 1822 there have been completerl in the southern districts of Ireland, under the superintendence of Mr. GRIFFITHS. the engineer, more than 205 miles of roads in extent, at an expense of 125,6401. 13s. 7d. So numerous are the canals of Amsterdam that they are said to divide the city into uo less than 90 different islands, communicating by 2SO bridges, either of stone or wood. The black-legs who lately plundered a young man of the whole of his fortune, are said to have made a precipitate retreat to the Continent, with the whole or greater part of their booty. By the time the Reform Bill reaches the Upper House, Peers, it is thought, will be more numerous in London than Commoners; the latter, especially the Anti-Reform Members, are leaving town daily. OLNEY BRIDGE.—It appears that Olney bridge, which is immortalized in C .wrza's Task, is nevertheless doomed to destruction.

He held no kind of intercourse with the gentry in his neighbourhood. tz acquired amongst them a reputa tion for strangeness; he lived alone, was a great walker, would pace rapidly for some 14 or 15 miles along the high road with a staff in his hand, and with a slouched hat on his head, and was designated as " the odd gentli.man from Englatill."—New Mont/dy SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.)

Their Majesties left town soon after the breaking up of the King's Court yesterday afternoon, on their return to Windsor. The Prussian Minister had an interview yesterday with Vis count Palmerston. COMMON COUNCIL-(THIS DAY). A Court was held for the despatch of city business this morn, ing. Many important notices of motions were on the paper--.that respecting the Secondary's Office is expected to be discussed. • The LORD MAYOR in the Chair The minutes of the last Court having been read, • Mr. RICHARDSON asked whether any steps had been taken by the Reform Committee to prevent the disfranchisement of the Livery of London. Owing to the long time which had been oc- Cupied by the Reform Bill in going through the Bill, he hoped time had been allowed to draw and dikes! some means to pre serve the rights of the Corporation. Ite wished to know whether any answer had been given from Government upon the subject. Mr. STEVENS said that the Reform Committee had done what they thought best to promote the Reform Bill; that they would do nothing to hazard the success of that measure. Mr. GALLOWAY said that, having attended the Reform Committee, he had done what had been thought best. Mr. RICHARDSON said that this was a momentous time; if the Bill passed as it now stood, the Corporation of London would not exist fifty years.-„(Laughter.) He was prepared for the sneer which had just passed upon him, but he thought that the Livery ought to have the power of returning two Members, while the inhabitants should return the other two.--The subject then dropped. THE LATE REC' , RDER'S REPORT. Mr. HA I NES said that in consequence of a paragraph which had appeared in the Times respe ting the delay which had oc curred in giving information to the prisoners in New•gate, as to the result of the Recorder's Report to the King, if it were con. sistent, he should make a motion to bring the subject before the Court.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Deputy BROOKES said it was not the business of the Recorder to run with the result of the King's report to Newgate. Mr. PEARSON considered that it was the duty of any Judge who had to communicate so important a decision as might lead to the termination of the existence of a human being, to run with the information to the unfortunate party who was interested in such decision, if the Judge had no other means of conveying that information. He did not envy the feelings of any man who would keep such information tram the parties.--( Loud cries of" hear.") The LORD MAYOR said a Court of Aldermen would be held on Tuesday next, when the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Haines) might pursue what course he might think proper. The LORD MAYOR said he had received a letter from Lord Melbourne, which was read by the Town Clerk. The letter stated that his Lordship was dirt eted by his Majesty to state to the Lord Mayor that his Majesty had thought proper to confer on him the dignity of a Baronet, and that his Majesty was perfectly satisfied with the arrangements on the Ist August. The letter was ordered to be entered on the minutes. THE FUNDS.--(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. We have no other arrivals this morning than the expresses from Paris and Brussels. By the former it seems that orders nave been sent to the French Minister here to arrange with the five Powers the period when the French troops are to withdraw front Belgium, and that very strong debates have taken place in the Chamber of Deputies. The private letters from Rotterdam received this morning, state that it was reported there that an Extraordinary Gazette was expected to be published, containing the acceptance of the protocols by the King of Belgium. 1 his is just what the Dutch want. The letters from Antwerp state that business was again re suming, and all v:as perfectly tranquil there. It appears, according to information from Poland, that the town of Warsaw has been entirely undermined; 80 that if the Russians attempt to storm it they will only remain masters of its ruins. It was reported at Warsaw that General Paskewitsch had re ceived fresh orders from the Emperor of Russia to open a nego elation with the Poles, winch was to take place under the walls of Warsaw. It was. also stated, that the Emperor of Russia wank' consent that the Poles shall have one of their compatriots for a Viceroy. Another letter of the Ist of August, ftom Warsaw, positively states that their Generalissimo has left to give battle to the Russians.

AWFUL THUNDER STORM. Yesterday afternoon, from four to five o'clock, the me tropolis was visited by a storm of thunder and rain ex ceeding any thing remembered by " the oldest joins. bitants." The rain fell literally in torrents, and .soon flooded many streets and houses. The storm was parti cularly term ific, apparently immediately over the House of Commons. The rain fell in suer quantities as to darken the House, like the approach of night ; and the bursts of thunder, comparable only to tremendous and simultaneous volleys of ar Met'', seemed to be fired in at the windows, .inpl on the roof of the House, whilst the flashes of light ning were appallingly grand, extensive, and continuous, The proceedings of the House were Neveral times for the moment suspended in con,quenee. If selections e. , trld be made as to the more terrific, where all were most stun ningly severe, it might be meetioned :her there ry, re in particular two peals of thunder, accompanied by fl :slice (it cannot be said that they pre,:rdtd :oat filed the air ap parently with 11:me, the ihunder seeming like some tremendously extensive explosion right under the windows of the House. Noises were at the same time beard hinder, hut similar in sound, to the firing cf large rockets. In the immediate neighbourhood of the House electric fluid secured to fill ri peatedly, and it is already known did much mischief, created great alarm, and proked it. dreadful power. A pinnacle of the western tower of Westminster Abbey was struck, and sent to the earth, dashed in pieces. It was seen to fall, and many persons imtnediv i .ly r an r a gather the fragments; amongst those who struggled was a ;Memb e r of Parliament, who, however, strange to say, although a Tory, scrambled in v.tin, fur nut a parpicle could be obtained. On the other side of Dan's-yard, in direct line with the Abbvy from north to south—namely - , in Barton-street--the roof of the first house in the street was struck and broken in, raising so much dust, from the falling of the roof, that the neighbours thought the house was on fire. The hole in the roof is nine or ten feet in circumference. The bolt or fluid did not pass through the floor, but appeared to have glanced down the slope of the roof, and the side of the house, to the irons at each end of the shop windows. The effect there is curious. The wood-work on one side is scathed, as if of bad been made to force open the `butters as ith red-hot crow bars; and on the other side of the shop-window the like result appears, with the addition of having torn away a good deal of plaster and brick-work. The electric fluid, or flame, thence seems to h lve passed down the area of the next house, and in such volume as tip make its inhabitant (a Mrs. Griffiths) run out, exclaiming that the kitchen must he on fire, as it was tilled with flame. The house is Mr. Shotter's, 1Z), Barton•street ; and the lower part of, it is a spacious cake-shop, oh efly patronised by the West minster scholars. The rooms up stairs, particularly where, :he roof had been beaten in, were filled with a strong sul phuric smell. Some out-houses, near the Hiniser : f Lords, we understand, were also struck with the lightning. In the adjoining counties of Kent and Surrey the. storm was equal dstnne Ihty,of4afenviciiherasin killedgn s E , l tir e ; i m e a k - e e :a r n op t i r o h e l s ,. . l % , yh O n i . n c h h o " rt w ' n ' e l • r r t n r im i natan re taking Inge underneath it. • . • It could Teem, from a r e c en t tranuctlon, aria lobbing in etaq& net veintilt4{ to the Opah.tlett.A. lIIIMI
