13}1USSELS AND GERMAN ,PAPERS, BRUSSELS, APRIL 2.—Three battalions of the 24 Regiment of the Line arrived here yesterday from Ghent : they will immediately go to Louvain, where they are to be in garrison. GHENT, APRIL 141.--( From a letter. )---General Daine is expected here to-day ;he comes to command the third division, the head-quarters of which will be at Alost, and he will have under him Brigadier-Ge nerals Clump and Langamann. The first will have his head-quarters at Ghent, the second at Bruges. General Magnan, who arrived here the day before yes terday, is gone to Brussels. He will have his head quarters at Diest, and command a brigade forming the vanguard, composed of four regiments of the line, the two regiments of chasseurs on foot, a battery of artil lery, and two squadrons of light cavalry. The four battalions of the II th Regiment of the Line are to arrive at Namur on the 3d, 4th, sth, and 6th of April, and on the 7th, the sth and 6th squadrons of Lancers. We learn that eleven Belgian subalterns and pri vates who went to Portugal, have returned from that country on account of wounds or diseases. Don Pe.- dro's government has paid the expenses of their voy age, and given each of them eighteen months' pay as a provision till a final determination is made respecting their pensions. The Emancipation contains the following article : —" Our correspondence from Paris contains the fol lowing :—‘ We have just received a private letter from London) clated March 29, written by a foreign diploniatist. It contains facts of the highest importanc:,e." • Prue.;siatind Austria have drawn up in concert a note whlressed to the Cabinets of London and Paris, in which the two Courts protest against the project of the Spanish Government, to send an auxiliary army into Portugal, to assist Don Pedro in expelling his bro ther, and declaring that if Queen Christina persists in her project, an Austrian and a Prussian army shall immediately enter into Switzerland. This protest has caused a great bustle at the Foreign Office ; and for this week past Prince Talleyrand has had daily conferences with Lord Palmerston. It seems that the two state.;imen have resolved to send imme diately a co'.:rier to Madrid to hinder the projected in terventio:i till the negotiations of France and England shall permit the project to bearesumed. Prince Talleyrand was really on the point of return ing to the Continent, but he seems now to have given up the journey. If it should take place, it will not be before the month of August. BELGIAN FUNDS.—Baussats, APRIL I. Actual Debt, 2 1 ,,i per Cent. Rothschild's Loan, 5 per Cent 97; Loan of the City, 1832, 4 per Cent. 941 —Brussels Papers, April 3. BREMEN, MARCH2I.—By a resolution of the senate and citizens, the interest of our public debt, which amounts to about three millions of rix-dollars, has been reduced from 4 to 2-.1- per cent. The time allowed for those who were not satisfied with . this change, to signify their dissent, and to receive their money at par, is expired ; only about 127,000 rix-dollars are with drawn. It was expected that the sum would have been much greater, and provision was made accord ingly. This financial operation could not have been undertaken at a more favourable time, for money has • been for a long time so abundant, that the discount on bills is not above 2 per cent. per annum. (In North America the discount has been, for several months past, 2 per cent. per month, and even more.) Since the reduction of the interest, the public funds of the City of Bremen have been readily purchased at 101 per cent., and many persons will not even sell at that price. The finances of our republic are sensibly improving. According to the estimates of 1833, there was an expected deficit of 35,000 dol lars, whereas at the end of the year there is found to be a net overplus of nearly 35,000 dollars. Our trade has been dull since the beginning of the year. The Prussian tariff affects us in many ways, especially in our trade for the sugar refineries and manufactories of tobacco, so that a great number of workmen have been discharged, and several manufacturers have left us. On the other hand, our city is animated in another and afflicting manner by the arrival from all parts of Ger many of thousands of industrious men in good circum stances, who came to embark in the ships waiting for them, to go and try their fortunes in North America. —Frankfort Papers, March 29. BERLIN, MARCH 24.—1 n all the negotiations in which the French Government is engaged there is an essential point to be considered ; it is the want of con sistency in that Government, and the struggles of par ties, which exercise the greatest influence over affairs, but most particularly over the foreign relations of France. In our opinion, the Doctrinaires are the only persons with whom it will be possible to come to an understanding. If the new elections should ex pel them from the Ministry, we do not see on what grounds negotiations with foreign countries could in future be grounded. It must not, however, be forgotten that the influence and power of the Doc trinaires abroad as well as at home is extremely limited. The party which comes immediately after them, and who constantly excites them against foreign countries, is that of the Imperialists, men equally power ful by their knowledge of public affairs, and by their influence in the public offices, which is still further in creased by the support of the tiers parti. Almost all the King's military supporters belong to this party. Baron Fain, the Duke de Bassana, who wishes to be Minister for Foreign Affairs, &c. &c. This party, which is not precisely that of the Mouvement, seeks to consolidate the throne of July at the expense of foreign countries. The King is himself probably of this opi nion, and optimism rages so strong at the Palace of the Tuileries that the cabinet would be strangely de ceived if they were not convinced that, placed between the alternative of his own preservation and that of war, Louis Philip would decide for the latter. The King of the French will shrink as long as possible from a Ministry purely Imperialist, but sooner or later two cases will present themselves, either a revolution will bury the throne of July under the wreck it will give rise to, or a change of system be effected in the Cabinet against the will of the King,• to the profit of the Im perialists."—Allgemeine Zeituny, March 30. MUNICH, MARCH 26.—Independently of the note recently mentioned, the Bavarian Government has ad dressed another to the Swiss Confederation, conceived in much more energetic terms. The garrisons of Augsburg and.Dillingen have received orders to be ready to march, and that of Laudan has been consider ably reinforced. Our Government has also taken, in concert with those of. Wirtemberg and Baden, every means calculated to insure tranquillity under any cir cumstances.—Suabian Mercury. OTTER HUNT.—After four hours' chase, on Tuesday last, an otter was caught by Messrs. Har ringtons, with their harriers, near Clifton Grove. Louis' PHILIP AND HIS SAVINGS BANKS.—Some members of the Juste Milieu assign a singular reason as an explanation of the motives which induced the Cabinet of the Palais Royal to de mand of their devoted adherents the vote of twenty five millions as a liberal compensation to the United states It ;is, they say, because the American go vernment has threatened to seize the considerable sums of money which Louis Philip has placed in the bank of the United States as a guarantee for the due pay ment of the claims. THE EARLY DAYS OF EDMUND KEAN. —Kean had the weakness common to the members of his precarious profession ; the writer of this article has often heard him declare that he was born on St. Patrick's day (i. e. 17th of March), 1787. Yet lat terly he as positively affirmed that his birth took place in November, 1790 ! His parentage was also continu ally questioned by himself; and he frequently, to many persons, who were not particularly in his confidence, affirmed his belief to be that Mrs. Carey was not his mother, but that he owed his existence to a lady, who, through life, assumed the title of his aunt ; that lady was, nearly sixty years since, under the protection of the Duke of Norfolk, and was introduced by him to ' Garrick, who gave her an introduction to the then managers of Drury, where she appeared soon after the death of the British Roscius. Mr. Roach, an old theatrical bookseller, who lived many years in the court running from Brydges-street to Drury-lane, often • spoke of Kean's acting Richard in his (Roach's) gar , ret with a Scotch lassie for his Lady Anne ; her patois was a terrible Frievance to little Kean, who was teach ing her English, and mimicking her Scotch, from morning till night. In requital for his initiating her into the mysteries of the vulgar tongue, he made her teach him the dialect of Sir Pertinax Macsycophant _, part tootlfch r .e appeared for a few nights at Drury tic** ; • ~. : . his career ; I think it was „ vnsi i er,ed al e i t f : ~‘,, , gy is best friends.

We should be very glad to have it in our power to confirm the statement communicated to us yesterday by a City correspondent relative to the appointment of a successor to the Duc de BROGLIE. We apprehend that some dif ficulties have arisen, perhaps not foreseen either by Louis PHILIP or the Chamber. How ever this may be, there is no qfficial confirma tion of the fact. By the resignation of the Duc de BROGLIE the French have lost a man of honour, whom they will find it difficult to replace ; and the Foreign Powers, friendly to France, have lost a Minister - who had the sincerity and firmness of CASIMIR PERIER, without his occasional bursts of temper and fits of obstinacy. We have no doubt of the King of the FRENCH being disposed to maintain the present friendly relations between France and England ; but it is with his Minister and not with himself that Foreign Powers must negotiate, and on his choice of a Minister will depend the confidence reposed in his Government. Choose whom he may, let him take care that it is not a creature of the Autocrat. French Papers of Thursday say that the Spanish Government, as we mentioned yesterday, have finally resolved to interfere in Portugal. S A nmENTo, the young Queen's (Donna MARIA) envoy has presented his credentials, and.lo,ooo men have by this time entered Portugal, forming two divisions, one commanded by MORILLo and the other by RODIL. They will march upon Oporto and Villa Real, and proceed on to Santarem to join the Pedroites. The French and English Am bassadors concur with the Spanish Government in everything respecting the entry of these troops. FRENCH FUNDS.—PARIS, Ana 3. Five per Cents., 104 f. 15c. 30c.

In the late division that led to the resignation of the Duc de BROGLIE, we understand that the majority was composed of persons who are usually the supporters of government, and that in the minority were included the venerable LA FAYETTE and others of the ultra-liberal party. It appears to have been a point of national honour sacrificed at the shrine of ultra-economy. It is not impossible that " the penny wise and pound foolish" gentlemen who form the majority may find to their cost that to save is not always to gain. A protracted dispute with the United States may in the end cost them more than the payment of a just and lawful debt would have done at present. The Spanish Government at length seems determined to take decisive steps for the expul sion of Don CARLOS from Portugal. Had the QUEEN-REGENT acted with common ri gour, and sent troops to make with Don PE DRO a simultaneous attack on Don MIGUEL at Santarem some months ago, in all probabi lity the rebel armies would soon have been dis persed, and the two infants—the Usurpers of Spain and Portugal—by this time, been ba nished from the Peninsula. The timid and wavering policy, however, of that Princess, who seems more intent on pleasure than business, has not only delayed such a measure, but ren dered its completion a matter of considerable doubt. While she has been wasting, in her retreat at Aranjuez, time which should have been devoted to business, and her wurtiers and ministers have been quarrelling about the only measure which can secure the succession of her daughter,—the Convocation of the Cortes, the Carlists, have been gaining ground in the north, and mustering an army which it may require all her disposable forces to repel from the capi tal. As to the necessity and justice of such a step there can be but one opinion The Am bassadors of Austria and Russia may protest against it, but cannot, either according to the undisputed principles of inter-national law, or their own recorded example, take any other steps to oppose it. The young Princess is, de facto and de jure, Queen of SPAIN, and if she has the right of " attacking" the forces of a neigh bouring State that harbours a rival, she has an undoubted right, under similar circumstances, of attacking the forces of an individual whom their recognition of Donna MARIA has branded as an usurper. This step augurs better for Legitimate and Constitutional rights, but still the conduct of the two REGENTS is so full of suspicion, that we regard the convocation of the Cortes of the two kingdoms as the only hope of safety for the Peninsula. We quote the following from the Paris correspondent of a morning contemporary. At a time when our English libel law is engaging so much attention here, our readers may be de sirous to know on what footing it stands among our neighbours on the other side of the channel : —" In cases of libel against private individuals the action is brought in the courts of Correc- tional Police where there is no jury, and where the juages have considerable latitude. They award imprisonment rather than fine, making it a rule to do so, that actions of the kind may not become a speculation. In cases of libel against private indi viduals the maxim holds, as with us, of " the greater the truth the greater the Jibe! ;" in other words, for this is exaggeration, proof of the truth of the statement is not admitted. In libels against public functionaries, however, ministers, magistrates, or men in a public capa city, the law is quite the reverse. The action is then tried en Cour d' Assises, and before a jury, whose proof of the truth of the libel is allowed, and where witnesses maybe called and examined for that purpose." When the church rates have been abolished; a parochial registration established; the mar riage bill made conformable thereto ; the uni versities• thrown open and reformed ; and a charter has been granted to the London Uni versity, the practical grievances of the Dis senters will have been redressed. In the pro motion of all these objects they shall have our best . support, but we see no reason for ques tioning the good will, the sincerity, or the power of the Government in reference to all these matters. We cannot see how the Dis senters are to gain any of them without the hearty co-operation of the present Government. Mr. COBBETT, one of the leaders of the Radi cal party, is against them, and so are the Dukes Of WELLINGTON and CUMBERLAND, Sir ROBERT PEEL and Sir ROBERT INGLIS. To what party in Parliament then are they to look for assistance, if not to those who obtained for them the repeal of the Test Acts, that Re form of Parliament which has given them the great degree of political power which they now possess, and the abolition of slavery, their dar ling measure, effected too • in the most honour able and satisfactory manner to all parties. , Do they wish to have a Prime Minister of their own, or that their grievances shall remain un redressed until Lord HENLEY, the great Church Reformer, or the gentlemen who supported him at the Middlesex election, or any new party first to be elected by the people, or made peers by the King, shall find their way into both houses of parliament ? Surely they have too much good sense to alienate themselves from his Majesty's Government, who have again and again pledged themselves to redress all their real grievances ? As to the dissolution of the con nexion between church and state, that is a matter for the nation, and quite as interesting to churchmen as dissenters. Whether the established churches of the three kingdoms have accomplished the ends of their appointment, or whether those ends have been fulfilled, or are ful filling by the voluntary churches, are debateable questions, and there are many facts rela tive to them all, which require to b e col lected and arranged and reflected on, before a sound decision can he come to. Let the real grievances of the Dissenters be effec tually and as speedily as is practicable redressed. Let the amount of the tithes and church reve nues, all of which are under the control of Par liament, be well ascertained, and then, but not till then, will be the time to determine on their disposal. To give sound and truly Christian education to the people, ought to be, and assuredly will be, the object alike of King, government, parliament, DEVIZES CORN DIA RKE l' —April 3.

One of the celebrated beauties of the last century, the Miss Gunnings, was married to the Duke of Hamilton with a ring of the bed-curtain, at half an hour after twelve at night, at May-fair chapel. In the clothing district of Gloucestershire trade is dull, in consequence of the high price of wool. The stripe makers have resolved that the prices of cloths will not enable them to give the advance of wages asked by the Weavers' Union Committee ; they intend to suspend manufacturing if the weavers refuse to go on at the present rate. Perhaps the result may be that the stripe trade will be driven from this part pf the kingdom. RAPE.—At the Londonderry Assizes, John . *Bay was indicted for violating the person of Cathe rine Roden, at Ghoseden, near Oaks, on the 29th of September last. It appeared by the evidence of Ca therine Roden and others, that she had been at what is called in the country " a churn," on the night in question ; that, on her way home she felt ill, and in crossing a garden to her own house she sat down for a little ; that the prisoner, who is a married man, and the father of five children, followed her into the gar den; that he got her down, and effected his purpose ; that she made every resistance in her power ; that she bled his mouth, and so scratched his face that she was covered with his blood ; that she was all bruised and blackened. Every circumstance was clearly proved— even the witnesses for the defence corroborated those for the Crown. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and the awful sentence of death was passed upon him, but without a day being named. The unhappy man is about forty-five or fifty years of age, of a forbidding aspect, and did not appear in the least degree affected ; indeed, he looked quite unconscious of the fate that awaited him. On Tuesday night, at eight o'clock, Mr. Stallworthy, jun., of Waterperry, on his return from Thame fair, was attacked by four men, and robbed of nine sovereigns and 9s. 6d. in silver, only half a mile from the town. He was on a pony, and going at a moderate pace, when four men turned out of the road as if to pass him ; but the last seized his bridle, and he was hauled off his pony backwards ; one of the villains held his mouth, another knelt on his breast, while the other two rifled his pockets. As they attacked his right hand pocket, which contained only a few coppers and his knife, he endeavoured to pull out his purse from the other, to turn the con tents on the ground ; but he had no sooner got it out than they snatched it from him and ran off, leaving him unhurt, although when he cried out to a young man whom he had just passed, and who heard him, they said " If you make any noise we 'll bl ow your brains out." One of the gang said, " Don't hurt him, if we have got his money." His watch they did not attempt to take. The men ran towards Thame, and Mr Stallworthy followed them at a distance for some time, when they turned round and said, " You had better make the best of your way home ;" and another said, " Where is the knife ? let us stick him." They then turned back and ran away, but not until one said, " Catch his pony for him." Mr. S. then went home. The pony was found next morning in Rycote-lane. PRICES OF STOCKS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK.

"LO and people. But wise men arc never in a hurry. Delays are dangerous, but precipita tion in concerns of such vast moment may be equally so. The clergy ought not to be regarded as a corporate body, they are the ministers of the church, and over all the temporal affairs of the Church, Parliament may and ought to exercise a salutary control. They are also trustees for the uneducated and the poor, and how they have acted in this capa city is as fair and legitimate an object of inquiry as that now happily and most usefully going on with respect to municipal corporations. It will come in due time. Meanwhile the Dissenters will do well to look narrowly into their own con dition, and to see whether their system, as it is at present carried on, does answer as well as it might be made to do, the chief end of its establish ment, viz., the instruction and consolation of the illiterate and the poor. We should like to know what accommodation is provided for the latter in the new chapels which are erected, and erecting in various parts of the kingdom ; and how the means of religious instruction will be supplied to those who cannot pay for sittings, under the arrangements they claim to have made with respect to the church.

Miss Mitford's " Our Village" has evidently given the first idea of this work, which, however, is no servile imitation, but is full of original touches, and quaint gleams of humour. The author is one who thinks for himself, and draws from his own impression of things. Fancy alone, how ever brilliant or excursive, would never have t a ct mightr t that at have t l i o e profusion d h furnished him with th e lif e -lik e s k etc h es of cha i im thina"lOighurt,Teolewgnal;;; superstructure ; but it was reality that gave him the foundation--the s olid brick -work and masonry of his work. We by no means relish our au thor's sketches the less because here and there they happen to be tinctured with cynicism : nothing is so insipid as that invariable good nature which has a bland simper for everythin g and everybody. Yet, though the author can snarl and show his teeth at times, he is by no means devoid of the gentler feelings ; he can praise as well as blame ; smile as well as sneer ; witness his character of Old Lot, the tailor poacher, (a marvellous amalgamation of qualities, by the bye,) which is as frank and bold a sketch, and good-natured withal, as anything we have lately met with. It just verges on the boundary line between truth and exaggeration, but not so much so, as to destroy the impression of its rea lity. As a sample of broad humour, we quote a portion of the chapter entitled " Delicate Plea sures for Susceptible Minds," which details the whole history and mystery of pig-killing in a pro vincial town : a In ' our town' pig-rearing and pig-killing are the principal objects of a man's life. The same may be said of our country. It seems as if a man was born for no other purpose than to make hog's flesh. The instant they are at liberty to act for themselves, they follow the example of their forefathers and cultivate bacon. A man takes his wife and his pig together, they flourish together, are nourished one as much as the other, and both go into the straw together. The difference in the last proceeding is somewhat striking, to be sure, and it can hardly be said whether the balance is in favour of the woman or the pig. The former has, as everybody knows, no very easy time of it ; the latter, when he gets into the straw, gets on his funeral-pile, in which his bristles, not his flesh, are burned to ashes. His troubles are over ; but nobody knows where a wife's troubles will end. The pig has paid the debt of nature ; but a wife has so many debts of nature to pay ! The pig is the best off, after all. " The stoicism of a pig is enviable. The manner in which he receives the injuries heaped on him is no proof of it, certainly, but his mode of bearing them after they are inflicted is truly his own. No creature on earth can make more noise than he does to prevent himself from being hurt ; but that is excellent policy. He seems to know the value of the old proverb, ' It is better to prevent than to cure.' But when he finds the thing is done, he is silent, and as patient as Job himself. Indeed, if Job had been allotted to bear what a pig bears, we might be permitted to doubt his pa tience. The trials of swine are great. Some foreigner, with more sprightliness than justice, said that a pig was the only gentleman in England.' If the foreigner stood in the place of one, he would alter his opinion. " The Swinish race are subjected to the most ungen tlemanlike dignities. They are cruelly maimed, merely to increase their bulk, at least no other reason is al leged. It does not impart melody to their voice, that is evident ; and as to strength, it is not needed. You have only to tease one, to be convinced of its power. They have rings thrust into their tender noses, because they shall not root up the earth and grow thin by the exercise. But how admirably do they bear all this ! No sooner is it over, than they turn about to the trough with a dignified composure, and feed as heartily as if nothing had happened." MACKAY S POEMS. London, 1834. li, a modest and well written preface, the author of this little volume assures us that he is " a young bard," and that he " ventures on the crowded arena with fear and trembling." He need be under no serious apprehensions, for there is enough of talent in him to enable him to make head-way, if he will only superadd to that talent, perseverance, and the diligent study of our best poetic models. The present poems, though immature, evince much promise : as a specimen we quote the following : " TO THE WINDS. " I called on the rushing blast."—OsitaN. " Wind of the winter night, whence comest thou And whither, oh whither, art wandering now ? Sad, sad, is thy voice on this desolate moor, And mournful, oh mournful, thy howl at my door. Say where hast thou been on thy cloud-lifted car ? Say, what hast thou seen in thy roamings afar ? What sorrow impels thee, thou boisterous blast, Thus to mourn and complain as thou journeyest past ? Dost weep that the green sunny summer hath fled ? That the leaves of the forest are withered and dead, That the groves and the woodlands re-echo no more The light-hearted music they teemed with of yore? That the song of the lark and the hum of the bee, Have ceased for awhile on the snow.covered lea ? Say, wind of the winter-night, whence comest thou, And whither, oh whither, art wandering now p PRIVY COUNCIL.-(THIS DAY.)

" I have been where the snow on the chill mountain peak Would have-frozen the blood in the ruddiest cheek, N A u nd ne f n o in r m n a f n t t e ks sunshine e an h d as ig d n es r ola h t t e en d e a d y, my way ; But• I weep not that winter hath bared the green tree, And hushed the sweet voice of the bird and the bee; I sigh not that summer hdth fled from the plain, For spring will return in its brightness again ; But I mourn and complain for the wail and the woe That I've seen on my course as I journeyed below, For I've heard the loud shout of the demon of war, A A n n d d he the in p d e a t n l n o f l n h n i e s guns win w a s s t a t e d y t or a p s h h n e n d fro nn n m p a l fa, r, n As they wet with their tears the pale cheeks of the slain ; And I sigh as I think on the miseries of man, And the crimes and the follies that measure his span.— " I have come from the deep, where the storm in its wrath Spread havoc and death on its pitiless path, Where the billows rose up as the lightnings flew by, And twisted their arms in the dun coloured sky ; And I saw a frail vessel, ail torn by the wave, Drawn down with her crew to a fathomless grave, And I heard the loud creak of her hull as I past, And the flap of her sails, and the crash of her mast ; And I raised my shrill voice on the cold midnight air, To drown the last cry of the sailor's despair, But it smote on my ear like the tocsin of death, As he struggled and strove with the waters for breath , 'Tis his requiem I tune as I howl through the sky, And repent of the fury that caused him to die. " And far have I roamed on the desolate shore, And the cold dreary wastes of the tenantless moor, Where a hoary old man journeyed on thro' the plain, To his bright blazing hearth and his children again, And I sighed as I rushed o'er that desert of snow, For I saw not the path where the traveller should go; For a moment he paused in that wilderness drear, And clasped his cold hands as he listened to hear The bark of his dog from his cot in the dell; Or the long.wished for toll of the far village bell. Poor weary old man ! he was feeble and chill, And the sounds that he loved were all silent and still, For vainly he turned his dim glance to the sky, And vainly he sought with his tremulous eye Some light in the distance, whose pale beaming ray Might guide him aright on his comfortless way, Till, fainting and chill, he turned wearily back, And tried to recover the snow hidden track ; Ah, vainly he strove, and no sound could he hear, To tell his sad heart that a refuge was near, When, worn by the load of his toil and his woe, He muttered a prayer, and sank down on the snow ; And I heard the last gasp of his quick fleeting breath, His last dying groan, as he struggled with death : And I mourn for him now on this desolate moor, And tune his sad dirge as I howl at thy door." TRUE RECIPROCITY.--The Morocco States having presented the Citizen-King with a superb peccata (African ass), his Majesty in return sent M. Viellet as Ambassador. It is thus that the French government seizes every opportunity of establishing a system of exchange with other countries.
