the public are yet aa' . ate 01. Our correapondent 0. P. Q. conceives that the Belgian officers par po3ely tniscoaducted themselves—srrre of them from a wish to favour the Hour," of Nassau, and others that the success of the Dutch might show the necessity of a mnre intimate connec ion with France, which eau alone protect Belgium. However this may be, it is prttty clear that Belginm could not, if a Republic, maintain an army sufficient for its defence, and can still less afford the eNpenee both uf a monarchy and an army. A monarchy is a luxury fit only for nations of grcatcr valth and population. From the position of Belgium between Prussia and France, it in clear that on the first war, it will be occupied by one of the belligerent t:, and the conviction of this will, we fear, render the throne of Leopold a very inszTure one. We can hardly help thinking that the French had some sus vicion of an intrigue between Holland and some of the great Power::, and that the rapid movements of the French were connected with information pos. sensed by them that if Holland were once in pcbses sion of Belgium, these Power. would have sup- ported the King of Holland. Tilr opportunity for . ?French intervention was all hut lost,for it is obviotti that in a day or two his Dutch Majesty would have been in milirary possession of ae whole country:—.2llornwr Ciroride. Our readers will find in anmher column a tienible letter, with the signature A., on the conntaion be tween public opinion and public .lournais, and the principle which ought to bo observed in inferring the former from the latter. It is not so much the fear of exposing themselves to a charge of illibtiralitv that Journalists do not combat the opinions of each other, as the conviction that it is upon the whole better for each to enforce his own peculiar views tiann to waste his erorts, and exhaust the patience of his readers, with endlegs controversy, Our cor r,,spondcat charg€s a contemporary j (the Times) with inconsistency with rcuard to the Belgian and Dutch question, anti the Wform Bill. The clause dividing counties was, be says,.in the Bill from the first, and it is inconsistent, after approving, of the Bill, the Naole Bill, and nothing but the Bill, to make the division of conn',:ies a reason for now eon- damning the mcautre. We have already stated our own views with regard to the .division of counties, and we now repeat, that though in some eases it may thrrAv a power into the hands of individuals which they ought not to possess, yet as the gain to the public from the Bill in other respects is far greater than the loss from this pa:t of it, and as the rejection of the division might haA trd the Bill, we are oiliinz to wave our objects to it. This, tve be lieve, to he the general opinion. With respect to cur :7outetnporary, vt-e leave him to his own opinion, and his own mode of enforcing it It is not for us to subscribe to Ministers the course they ought to pursue with respect to Journals. We wish well to 'iinisters, because, ;l oon the whole, we believe them ►o be honest. We can easily understand why they should led sore under the attacks of which our correspondent complains. To use a homely pro verb, however, as they have made Iheir bed, so they must I .le ou it.-- Morning Chronicle. 'Mr. Hume has very properly postporied his mo tion with nspert to the See of Derry, in order not to interfere with the Reform Bill. The truth is, that whatever may be the intentions of Ministers with regard to the Irish Church, they ought at all events to avoid filling up any vacancies in the great sees till Refoun is dispo'ed of. It is well known that the clergy of the Church of England changed their rdigiou four times in the course of thirty years for the sake of their lkiogs, end there are few con sciences in the three kingdoms capable of holding out against such prizes. So long as translations from poor to rich srrs are allowed, so long will Bishops vote in support of the Government for the time being. Whatever, therefore, may be intended with regard to Deny, nothing should be said about it at present —Morning Chronicle. A motion was made last night by Mr. Hume,— " That it be an instruction to the Committee upon the Reform Bill to make a provision for the return to that Howe of Members to represent the colonies and foreign possessions of his Majesty." We have no hesitation in, disapfroving of the 1,1,1” of giving tepresennitives to our colonies. Were twenty co lonies from our various possessions to be introduced into the House of Commons they would be quite a nuisance. The business of colonies must he ma naged in the colonies themselves. When the in terests of any of the colonies are affected by pro ceedings in the British Legislature, there will al ways be found individuals in London, connected with these colonies, possessed of sufficient interest with some Member to obtain his advocacy of their views. The House of Commons cannot enter, with any advantage, on the internal affairs of the co lonies ; and it is proper that the colonies should lie taught that they ought to look for their protection from local legislatures, alone.— Morning Chronicle. It would show better taste in the King of the French and Casimir Perier to absta'n from all men tion of the name of Poland, than to indulge in rhe torical flourishes about their sympathy for that gal lant and betrayed nation. The idle pomp of words with which the French Government attempt to give a character of grandeur to the meanness of their policy can impose upon nobody. The Poles esti mate at its proper value the hypocritical compassion which affects to lament their fate and to be indig nant at their wrongs, but puts not forth a hand to arrest the one or avenge the other. France ought never to hear the name of Poland uttered without burning blushes. Poland, whose heroic spirit fifteen years of Russian rapacity and oppression had not been able to break down, tore asunder by a super human effort the chains which had bound her to the military despotism of the tyrant, and threw herself between France and the barbarian hordes that were arming to reduce her once more to the humiliation of receiving back a rejected dynasty tinder the dictation of foreign bayonets. Yet Fiance, in return, wholly abandoned Poland to the fury of the exasperated barbarians, whose plan of conquest and counter-revolntion on her own territory, the insurrection at Warsaw had so unexpectedly interrupted. It was not until that insurrection took place that Nscholas con descended to recognise the new Government of France. Before that event he did not think it ne cessary to dissemble his hostility to a throne erected by the national will, and guarded not by the Praeto rian mercenaries of despotism, but the manly and affectionate ranks of a free people. Thus, if the teeognition of his royalty by the Northern Autocrat be a matter of great importance to Louis Philippe, he is indebted for it to the Poles. What are the Poles indebted to him and his Government for ? Certainly not for her recognition. Let us ask Casi mir Perier—his answer is that, " without France, Poland would long ago have been crushed by the united efforts of the three Powers by whom she is surrounded." We ask "How did France prevent it ?" Alt; he does not condescend to tell us how! Moreover, Casimir Perier goes on to say that "France has assured to Poland less inequality% the struggle in which she is engaged." has France, then, called off Prussia and Austria from the une qual conflict, whos e op e n and flagrant violations of neutrality, with re gar d to P o l an d, ma k e t h e m a ctive parties in the work of her subjugation ? No; France has done no such thing. Prussia seizes the property of French or Briti s h su bj ects as s h e p l ea ses, on its way to Poland, and furnishes the Russians w•ith arms and ammunition, and a ll t h e warlike supplies of which they stand in need; and Casimir Feder has done no more to prevent this oppressive partiality ,, than Lord Palmerston. Austria treated Dwernecki s corps, when they took refuge on her soil, as prisoners . of Ter, but didterritor not disarm the Russians, who, by violating her y, in the licit instance, compelled the Poles to cross the frontiers. Has France inquired why . the brat e men who, in their adversity , ca me to soLca the hos pitable protection of Austria, were treated as ag gressors, and carried into captivity ? Alas I .th.e Mt high and courageous language of the French - oisery is only heard in the French Charnbtri. It .esounti.t. out in foreign Cowl. It disturbs not , he repose of any tyrant, with the exception of the , contemptible despot of Portugal, whose weakness tempted a dastard Ministry to earn a cheap reputa ion for spirit, by inflicting sotne chastisement on him whom evt.i Lord Aberdeen acknowledged to be .1 coward. If the measure of his punishments had been adequate to his deserts, it world have been 15 complete as tint which Charles the Tenth inflicted opals the more civilized pirate of Africa, and then *Europe would have seen an equal destiny attending the congenial virtues of Don Miguel Lind the Dey of Algiers. Is it b cause France is mak and destitute of 'resources and influence, that she is obliged to erriporize with the despots who tear Po!and to pieces, and who expect to consummate the object of heir nefarious conspiracy, by crushing the heroism of that noble people beneath the ruins of Watsaw ? Far from it. Casimir Perier, who talks in as in _._ .ted a style as !Lulus the Second, and who, like his gr eat archetype, is vox et preterea aihil, assures all Europe that France never was stronger that she is at pre , entthat she never had greater weight in the sea!e of Europe—that she has resumed her proper influence and re- stablished her power. Why then, we ask, does the French Government weep " crocodile tears" ovr the anticipated doom of Poland, while fawning with servile courtesy upon the destroyer, who, unrestrained by any dread of human power, proceeds with redoubled efforts ;It the work of savage extermination. But though utterly abandoned by the pusillanimous Government of France, the D;et of Thdand—serene and fearless in the midst of the most appalling dan- tier, sustaining the last hopes of the country by their firmness—encouraging the heroic ardour of the people by their example, remind us of the sublime spectacle presented by the Roman Senate, when the Gauls, reeking from the slaughter of her legions, ap proached, with all the foie of desolating vengeance, the gates of the " eternal city." It is true the capi tal of Poland is rot yet reduced to that extremity which seetne.l to leave no hope for Rome, when, with defenceless walla and open gates, she awaited the approach of the triumphant barbarians. War saw has still patriot soldiers without, and a bold po pulation within. The Diet work on those fortifica tions where the last appeal to Heaven is to be made on behalf of the most righteous cause that ever was defended by the sword of a people devoted to their country. May that appeal not be in vain ! May it teach the world by its result that imperial robbers, by raising themselves above human laws, only be come the more conspicuous examples of Divine re tribution !—Morniug Herald. The Reform Bill came on again last night, and we confess ourselves of the number of those who sill rejoice in the progress of this most salutary and popular measure. We will confess that, as a matter of speculative opinion, we. should have been glad that the project of dividing the counties had never occurred to the originators of the Bill. We say as a matter of speculative opinion, for, after all, until the experiment be tried, it is impossible to pro nounce, with any degree of certainty, whether it will or will not be attended in practice with the evils which some of our contemporaries have predicted. It may be presumed, at least, that the extent and population of some of the counties will prevent that appropriation from taking place in the larger ones, the fear of which has given rise to so much jealousy and animadversion amongst the friends of Reform. The view that we take of the subject is simply this—here is a measure by which we shall get rid, at one sweep, of the whole mass of corrupt bo roughs ; an object so great and so unhoped-for, that the bare statement of it on the introduction of the Bill took away the breath of one of the oldest and most consistent Reformers that ever sat in Parliament. But this is not all. There is a measure, we say again, which, by the adop tion of an enlarged basis of representation, recog nises a principle which will always serve as a standard • for the correction of any counteracting or debasing influence that may possibly creep into the enact ments ; such a principle as we conceive establishes a guarantee for the safe, and easy, and immediate correction of abuses, and especially of such abuses as may tend to convert the representation of coun ties into any thing like the close berangh system which the Bill professes and is intended to put down for ever. It is by this simple process of reasoning that we have sati-fied ourselves as to the propriety of supporting the Bill in its present form, or in any form that shall preserve to us the principle of an en larged basis of representation, coupled with the in calculable blessing of a general rout of the old bo roughmongers. If new boroughmongers should arise in any shape whatever under the Bill, we shall know how to deal with them when they make their ap pearance, for it will be much easier to deal with new abuses and new alen than with the venerable old set, who have acquired by long usage a sort of vested right to pick the pockets of the commu nity. One word to those friends of Reform who dwell with so much anger on the division of counties as to leave it doubtful whether they are still advo cates of the general measure or not. Do they think that nothing will be gained by the success of the measure in its present form ? If they do they are of course justified to their own consciences in the cour.e they are pursuing. But if they think that something will be gained, and that something much more than the country expected, until the Ministers had deve loped their plan, why will they as honest Re- I formers run the risk of injuring the good cause by weakening the attachment and destroying the unani mity of the people, without which it is absurd to ex pect, even at this period of the discussion, that the Reform Bill can ever be carried into a law ? Does not this argument hold as good now as it did at any previous stage of the proceeding which recommended the postponement of all minor differences in favour of the general object which every man has an in terest in supporting ? Once for all, we say to the people what we are persuaded the people. stall say to each other :—" Let us get the boroughmongers under our feet in the first instance, we ellen then be in an attitude to deal with the particulars, and to criticise and improve the specific regulations of the Bill." But dismissing this part of the subject, at least for the present, yee now turn to a new feature introduced into the debate last night by Mr. Hurne's amend— ment. The proposition of the Hon. Gentleman was that the colonies of Great Britain, including British India, the Crown Colonies, British America, the West India islands, and the islands of Jersey, Guernsey, Alderney, and Sark, should return repre sentatives to Parliament. The number of repre nnratives to be in all nineteen. After the small da tails with which this House had been dealing in Committee for some time past, there was something exhilirating in a broad question of the kind. The plan, however, was liable to the objection which the Chancellor of the Exchequer made to its adoption. It was so extensive in ittenature, and involved so many details, that it would consideralq delay and perplex the measure already before Parliament. Indeed, it would appear from the speech of Mr. Hume himself that he did not expect it to succeed until it should be well considered, and then, pro bably, introduced as a separate measure, following up the spirit and completing the arrangements of that with which the House bad been so long oc cupied. Deprecating, as we do, all delay at the present moment, it is with satisfaction that we con template every decision which promises to advance the progress of tire Bill.—Morning Herald. DREADFUL SUICIDE.—This morning, at about eight o'clock, a dreadful suicide was committed at the " Shades," at Charing-cross, by a young man named JAMES BENTLEY, lately of the establishment of Messrs. Cox and GREENWOOD, of Craig's-court. The unfortu na,e young man had about a fortnight ago left his situation, since which time he had been completely distracted, and always appeared entirely lost. Last night he retired to bed at about twelve o'clock in good spirits; and this morning-, about half-past eight o'clock, upon the lad at the " Shades" going up to call him to breakfast, be found the unfortunate man hanging by the neck by a piece of small cord to the rail of the bedstead, and quite dead.

The first brigade, third division, occupies Ctunptich, and has a strong vanguard at Baut;rsem. " The second division is at Bossut and toe environs, and observes the road of Namur and of Wavre, towards Louvain. " The first division is posted on my right wing, an d occupies St. Joris Winghe and the invircw. This con centration of the forces has for its object to attempt an attack on- Louvain. " The vanguard engaged the enemy in the village of B tutersem.

" I have the honour to inform your Majesty, that ynur Majesty's army, at the head of which I have the honour to be placed, has this day obtained a brilliant a dvantage over the enemy's army, commanded by Tiecken de Ter hoven. Prince Leopold was present in person. The enemy's troops were driven from every position in which we attacked them, and compelled to retreat into the town, and under the cannon of Louvain. . " The consequence was, the asking of a suspension of rains for a short time, to allow the town of Louvain to be evacuated and surrendered to your Majesty's troops. " The proposition for an armistice, by shich the enemy acknowledged his defeat, was agreed to by me. "This result was brought about in the following manner !-- " The third division, commanded by General Meyer,• broke up at five in the morning, accompanied by the cuiras sier brigade, under the command of General Post, and the reserve batteries of ar•tillesy. " In the evening before we had found it necessary to evacuate 13autersem, and, in consequence of the superior force s f the enemy, to make the vanguard fall back upon Roosbeek. _ _ " To-day we found the enemy on the Louvain aide of Bautersem, occupying an advantagerms position, which was covered by woods and the exterior houses of Bautersem. His force consisted of infantry and artillery. I imnualiately perceived that to debauch from the village and attempt to attack his position in front would only give occasion to a ne,dless effusion of blood. I therefore ordered the out flanking of his position on the right and left, in order to oblige him to carry his retreat into complete tit ct. " The enemy made a long stand ; and when he per ceived that we had obtained possession of sonic heights on his left flank, which I caused to be occupied by the volun t Yager corps of the 3 , 1 division, he saw that it tsar necessary to common, e a hasty retreat. We followed hits without delay on the road to Louvain. " If had just given orders for pursuing him with our ca valry, that advantage might be taken of his confusion, when a flag of truce advanced to meet me on the road. " The hearer of the flag of truce was Lord William Russell. He brought a letter from Sir Robert Adair, ad , dressed to the Duke of Saxe-Weimar, as it was supposed that his Highness commanded this column. The pur• port of the letter was to ask a suspension of arms, and to notify that the vanguard of the French army was already in the neighbourhood of Wavre. Alto' some deliberation, I intimated that the only circumstances that could induce me to consent to an armistice would bo the evacuation of Louvain, and the being able to ob tain undoubted assurance of a French army being on the Belgic territory. I would send an officer to ascertain that. Lord William Russell then took leave, and I exe cuted my forward movement. The enemy fled on all points. On auproschinr , Louvain we found him posted with a very considerable farce, n in a very a dvantageous po sition, on the height of Pallenberg. I obliged him to abandon this position, by ordering the first division, which was marching on St. Joris-Winghe, to take a po sition on this side upon the ridge of that height, and then, having reached the plateau, to advance on the enemy's left wing. " General Favauge, who commanded the second brigade of the first division, executed this movement with great skill, and the result was successful. A cannonade, of short duration on his part, as well as on the part of the artillery of the third division, compelled the enemy to evacuate this uncommonly strong military position, and to retreat rapidly on Louvain. " We now occupy the same position, with the road and the hamlet'oo: u t. Here we found ourselves within the distance of a gun-shot from Louvain. I waited the result of my proposition, which Lord William Rtwell bad con veyed to Sir Robert Adair as my answer to this letter. Sir Robert Adair came himself. He requested a suspen• sion of arms. I declared to him that I could consent to no other terms than the complete evacuation of the town by Prince Leopold and the Be'gio troops. Sir Robert took upon himself to bring about an agreement on this condition. " Immediately after Sir Robert's return to the town, a Belgian officer, belonging to the staff of the Belgian army, appeared and asked me what propositions I would accept. " I caused my demand to be drawn up by the Genera: of the Staff,'Lieutenant-General Constant de Rebecque, and required an immediate answer. I received it without delay, ratified by the Belgia❑ Brigadier• General and Chief of the Staff udinlerim, A. Goblet. As soon as this con vention was concluded, I ordered the troops to bivouac in the sante position until the morning. I must yet inform your Majesty that during this negociation, a heavy can nonade was directed against our troops out of, and from, the gate of the town. Not being able to comprehend the cause of the tiring, I sent Captain Van Stirum, of Prince Frederick's Staff, with a flag of truce, to ask the com mander of the garrison the reason of this apparently treacherous c..noluct. " Captain Van Stirum soon returned with an officer, who expre'sed regret for the occurrence, and declared that the whole affair had taken place contrary to the positive orders given by the Commander of the troops. Through this attack we have to regret the death of Lieutenant Prinien of the artillery, and the loss to your Majesty's ser vice of the meritorious Colonel Gaillieries, whose left leg was carried away by a cannon ball. His son, who served in the same regiment of Cuirassiers with his father, sus tained the like misfortune from the same ball. " This morning at three o'clock the Duke of Saxe Weimar marched with a corps, formed partly of the 2d division under his command, and partly the cavalry bri gade, with the necessary artillery, from his position at Nethene and its environs, made a detour round Louvain, and took a position on the road from Louvain to Bt ussels, at - the Iron Hill. He executed this movement with great judgment and activity. The Duke on this occasion, as well as during the whole of this ten days' campaign, has, in a remarkable manner, displayed his undaunted courage and great military talents. I He must have been engaged with the enemy, for 1 beat d the fire of his corps on the other side of the WWII. I LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 17, 1831. This day, at a quarter before two o'clock, his MAJESTY arrived in his travelling carriage and four at St. James's Palace, from Windsor, escorted by a party of the 9th Lancers. His MAJESTY was accompanied by the QUEEN, Princess AuGusTA, and the Duke of SAXE MEINENGEN. Their MAJESTIES, who ap peared i❑ excellent health, will return to Windsor at half-past five o'clock this evening. Shortly after his MAJESTY held a Levee, which was numerously attended. A Pi ivy Council was afterwards held at the Palace. The Hon. and Gallant Member for Rye brought forward his motion last night on the subject of Poland, and the treatment of Prussia towards that country. In doing so, he explained at length the nature and spirit of the treaty at Vienna, by which, though Poland was to be annexed to Russia, yet the anexation was to take place in strict conformity with its own constitu- tional charter. This charter, the Hon. and Gallant Member went on to show, had from the year 1815, when it was drawn up, down to the present time, been in every instance most fla grantly violated. The Poles were conse quently now in arms, and as their cause was a just one, a resistance to unjust and tyrannical domination, they merited the assistance of the great Powers, or at least were entitled to de mand that the Cabi7)ets of France and England should insist on Prussia► observing a neutrality towards them. Lord PALMERSTON resisted the motion of Colonel EVANS, though why or wherefore, his Lordship did not condescend to state. We regret—deeply regret to see this evident coldness, amounting almost to estrange ment, of a Liberal Whig Ministry towards the sacred cause of freedom, as now represented and combated for on the plains of Poland. We can make allowance for the embarrassments of a Cabinet, which came into office pledged to preserve peace ; but the Polish question in no way interferes, or is likely to in terfere with, that pledge ; an energetic remon strance with Russia—who, if she cannot cope with a handful of patriots at Warsaw, is little likely to resist the united demands of France and England—is all that is needed to ensure the independence of Poland. That an inter ference in behalf of this gallant people must sooner or later take place, we have no more doubt than that Reform will prove the regenera- ' tion of Great Britain ; we would, however, desire to see it take place at the present fitting period, and not have it deferred, on a paltry pretence of expediency, till all Poland is a desert, and her bravest arriors are dungeoned, banished, or slaughtered. The cause of the Poles is the cause neither of this nor that faction ; it is.the cause of humanity, of justice, of universal free dom; as much so as the Revolution of 1688, by which a bigoted tyrant was expelled the throne of Great Britain. If they be deserted, in this their hour of peril, after having in day s past twice saved Europe from the Infidel, the English Cabinet will be deeply disgraced ; and a deeper blot, if possible, will attach to France, to preserve the principles of whose revolution, sacred and inviolable, the heroic Poles have shed their blood in torrents. What humiliation can, indeed, be more com plete than the late acknowledgment of M. CASI MIR PERIER, that though the French respect and sympathise with the Poles, though they allow the justice of their cause, and admire their daunt less self-devotion, yet that they are afraid to step forth in their behalf, because the distance is too great ! In other words, Poland is to be sacrificed because she is at too great a distance from France, while Belgium, which has the good luck to be nearer, is to be saved. Shame on this paltry acknowledgment ! It was not thtis that NAPO LEON used to act. Neither circumstance nor distance were suffered to stand in the way of his ambitiOn, and shall Franco, which made such Herculean efforts to further the views of despotism, halt from distrust and cowardice when called on to serve the cause of freedom ? We still hope that France and England will shortly see the neceri6ity of intericting iu behalf of Poland, ' For a time they may make head against the cur rent of popular opinion, but the period cannot be a protracted one; they must ultimately swim with the stream, or be carried away by it, and that stream is now runtang strongly in favour of Po)antil. We subjoin the latest Proclamation of the Chamber of Senators at Warsaw. It is such as LEON IDAS might have delivered to his Three Hundred : " Rlish Warriors,—lt is upon your valour on 1 perse verance that rest the lot of your country. All the Gene ralissimo with your virtues; surround him with the confi dence which the nation has in your courage, and in the ta lents of the captain which she has elected. " Citizens !—Unite all your forces for the levy en masse —for securing of a unity of sentiments—for preserving a confidence in the nathmal authorities—for making the • great sacrifices which are worthy of your sublime devotion in fine, for diffusing a contempt for such persons who have not taken a part in your common dangers 1411 , 1 glory, and whose only efforts have been to weaken malty and concord." Brussels Papers state that it is publicly re ported at Aix-la-Chapelle that Prussia and Aus tria will not be passive spectators of the entrance of the French army into Belgium. The cipafor says, " We can positively announce the suspension of hostilities at all points, and the hope that they will not be renewed." BUCHAREST, JULY 20.—The choler t continues to spread in Wallachia, notwithstanding the judicious mea sures adopted by General Kisseleff. All round our capital there aro places infected by it, but we have hitherto re mained free, which can only be attributed to the strict ness with which the sarlitary cordon around the city is maintained. If the ravages of tl,is disease are great among us, they are frightful on the other side of the Da nub,.. In Bulgaria, where nothing is done to arrest its progress, it has spread with unexampled rapidity through the whole track from Rutschtiek to Chounda, and tt'ong the coast of the Black Sea to Mangulil, and is every where of the most malignant description.

The Charge d'Affaires of France announced that, on an assurance that the prolongation of the ;Ittark on Belgium by Holland would be considered as a declaration of war against France, the King of Holland had taken steps to obey the injunctions of the French Government for the immediate cessation of hostilities, and that orders bad been immediately sent to the Dutch troops to evacuate the Belgic territory without delay. The King, who did not return till near ten at night from the reconnoissance which he made towards Tirlemont, was directly informed of this first decisive result of the presence of the Ft ench army, and General Behiard having received front King Leopold the expression of his natisfac• tian at this happy result, set out for the French head- quarters. Being informed at Hal, where his Royal Highness the Duke of Orleans had his head-quarters, that Alarshal Ge rard was at Nivelles, and unable, in consequence of the fatigue he had undergone the preceding days, to come from Nivelles to Hal, a journey which it is impos sible to make except on horseback, General Bel Hard sent a courier with his despatches to Marshal Gerard, and retired without loss of time to Louvain. General BeMari, as he passed through Brussels, on his return from Hal to Lou vain, acquainted the Ministers with the despatches from the Hague, and the steps he had already taken, and fearing that the confidence inspired by this first process might cause the Dutch to neglect the itnmedizte execution of the orders which they must have received from King William, proceeded in person, before he went to Louvain, towards Terveuren, near which pla.e he justly expected to meet with the Dutch. In fact he met the Duke of Saxe Weimar on the heights between Ter veuren and Louvain. He communicated to him the de spatches of which he was the bearer, and after an hour's conversation the Duke of Saxe Weimar sent one Lif his Aide-de-camps to the Prince of Orange. LIEGE, Auc. 12.—M. Ch. de Brouckere and M. Surlet de Chokier are at Liege. It is said, that M. Ch. (le Brouckere is furnished with very extensive powers. Yesterday at Aix-la• Chapelle great coats, &c. were dis tributed among the soldiers. It is publicly said in that city, that Prussia and Austria will not remain passive spectators of the entrance of tie French army into Belgium.

CITY, TIVELVX O'CLOCK. At present we have no arrivals, either of foreign mails or ship letters, consequently we arc without any further political news. THE FUNDS. The chief topic of conversation among the citizens and specu lators relates to the debates in the House of Lords last night, as well as the speech of Marshal Soult, in regard to the evacuation of Belgium by the French troops ; in the first place there re quires some explanation of Soult's speech; there can be no doubt that the French will not retire from Belgium until the Dutch have entirely evacuated it; if not, the French will have a pretext for their army to remain. 'fhe answer of Lord Grey is also not approved of by the speculators, who remain inactive, until they can see their way more clear. Negociations will soon commence between the King of Belgium and the King of Holland, which may last for some months, and in the interim the Dutch may keep possession of the citadel of Antwerp, and the French army will remain during that Iperiod in Belgium, for as long as there is a Dutch soldier in Belgium there is no doubt the French will continue there. Consols, which left off yesterday at 81 3 4 % fin- the account, opened at 813 i, at present they are 81 :Ai with little or nothing doing. In the Foreign Market there is not the least interest.

RiPvsian Columbian, 1824. Spanish l3 A Cabinet Council is summoned to attend, this evening, at the Foreign-office, Downing-street. There were no arrivals at the Foreign-office this morning. Some hope has been raised lately in favour of the Polish cause, from the circumstance, that the Russian Government, according to some accounts, which are ' received as authentic, is put to considerable difficulty in raising funds to carry on the war. It is said, that out of an issue of bonds, or Treasury bills, at St. Peteraburgh, to the amount of 30,000,000 of rubles, only 10,000,000 have got into citculation, and a• to loans abroad, none are likely to be obtained either here or in Paris, or in Amsterdam, or Hid ed in any of the money lending countries of Europe. In the present state of politics the risk, in the estimation of one class of capitalists, is too great to be encountered ; while, with another elass,who are willing to go great lengths where gain is in view, loans are refused because they wish to discourage war. Not twelve months ago, a great capitalist, whose tone is however somewhat lowered since then, made it his boast that no monarch in Europe shou!d go to war with out his permission. The question, therefore, of bow the Russians are to provide the " sinews of war" against the Poles, is one much discussed in the money-market, and forms as we have said, some hope for eh , ein incip it ion of Poland.— Times. LAII INIELLIGEiNCE-(THIS DAV.) COURT OF CHANCERY. • COMMITMENT TO THE FLEET PRISON. • p . Sir E. SUGDEN felt it to be his duty to Call the attep tio o the Court to a practice which existed wheii ditleis or 6 1110 ment to the Fleet prison were made out, which in his ju d required correction. Mr. Brown, the gaoler of the Fieet,„bo retained that the orders of the Court of commitment, "to, were delivered to the tipstaff, very often did not find t( f way into his possession, nor the prisoners into his C' l The consequence was, that the Warden of the Fleet P, had no means of making out a return of the commitmen ti n to him. There was one instance that occurred a short We; in which a solicitor of the Court of Chancery was ordered w o committed, but instead of either himself or the warryn t 4 conveyed to the Fleet, it was understood that the prlW e rA liberated on the payment of 64. This was calculated to 1 0 %0 tamperingwii h justice, and required the interposition of tluT o The LORD CHANCELLOR required the tipstaff, tvhsP in the habit of attending the Court, to come forward ; ari`t n i his making his appearance, he acknowledged he had been t ii habit of occasionally discharging prisoners on the subject ? 0 ,1 in dispute being arranged between the parties, and the 01 giving him an incleinni!y. Sir E. SUGDEN said he considered this a highly objecti practi7e. ll l 0 The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that it might hapP e !,o! very fit in certain ca , es, that upon certain arrange ments ll e o should be discharged, after an order to quit had been m 3 - - and before the pri - son'er got the length of the Fleet pril'W that that ought never to be at the discretion of a tipstafr ever an arrangement was propo,ed after an order to corn et been made, it was incumbent on the o ffi cer to mention th„,qi,t%'l to the Court before the prisoner could be discharged.
