But t ' bo t h :I::: Arti e We arc sure —that any attempt by the cl P 0 § t f , ( 4 - - o vvers to dictate to Belgium the choice f 0 moldingsereign ood e r , a , or to embarrass her by with -0 • 14 W 4 recognition of that choice, must r4Sts b cr estly to k od to increase the chaps of that conjunction, which all the Allies, but the one interested, view with so great suspicion and dread. The policy of France, throughout a ll the Belgian negocigons, has been to embar rass the proceedings of the Provisional Go vernment, in order that the Belgians might become weary of discussion, and throw them selves into the arms of the French, which have long been outstretched to receive them when ever they may seek the embrace. The objec tions intimated by France to the Duke de LEVCIITENBERG did not arise from the pue rile fear of the name of BEAUHARNOIS, but, a 8 we more than suspect, from the ulterior ob ject we have alluded to. To suppose that the citizen King could withhold for a moment his assent to the choice of the Belgians, even should it have fallen upon young NAPOLEON himself, is absurd,—for it would imply that the title of Louis PHILIPPt himself is de fective. We are satisfied that the French Go vernment, in accordance with the wishes of the French people, has aimed at (and does it still aim at ?) the consolidation of Belgium with "/a grande nation and therefore, though we do not desire to raise the question how far such a policy on the part of :France is justifi able, we say there is abundant necessity for cau tion with those who would see with alarm the extension of France to her limits' under the Empire. Those European Powers who are known to be the formidable enemies of all freedom, what soever, and wheresoever,—Russia, Austria, and Prussia,—are exerting their combined strength to recover for the Prince of ORANGE the throne from which his race has been expelled for ever. The proclamation of this misguided Prince, who is still residing in obscurity in this metropolis, was, of course, put forth at the instigation of some or one of the Powers in question. The brother-in-law of the Emperor NICHOLAS could hardly want supporters in his intrigues among the members of that league of Princes whose names are the terror and aversion of the Liberals throughout Europe. It is, however, perfectly consistent in these Powers to do what in them lies to bring back to the Belgians the yoke of their oppressors, and we only allude to their policy, for the purpose of showing that their ob ject would likewise be furthered by the delay of the Belgians in making choice of a Sovereign. If the policy of Great Britain coincides nei tiler with that of France nor of Russia, the course she has to pursue towards Belgium is plain. Great Britain must and will recognise the election which the Belgians are on the point of making. There are reasons enough which may satisfy the Belgians that this recognition cannot fail to take place. The English nation are decidedly adverse to foreign interference, be it where it may. Our Government is fully aware of the national feeling, and - knows that it cannot violate it, even if it had the disposition. We, therefore, repeat, that the Belgians need enter tain no apprehension that their new Sovereign will net be recognised by the British Government. We this day insert the copy of a petition from the inhabitant householders of St. James's, Westminster, to both Houses of Parliament, for the repeal of the House and Window Tax. We have frequently expressed our opinion of these oppressive imposts, and are glad to observe that several of the leading parishes are actively engaged in petitioning the Legislature for their repeal. That the contributions to the State for its constitutional maintenance, and to enable the Government to keep its faith with the public creditor, must be made up by assessments upon the people in some shape, admits of no question —hut why in the name of common sense and common justice is not the weight of the burden more equalised, and consequently rendered more easy to be borne ? To make an industrious man, perhaps just commencing the world, and with his utmost exertions scarcely capable of maintaining a house over his head, pay as much in the shape of House Tax as the private gen tleman who lives upon his fortune, seems the height of injustice, and there are very many in stances wherein the traders, by reason of requiring larger premises to carry on their business, al though generally with much smaller dwellings, pay considerably more than the rich and the titled. If the present Ministry have any desire, and we are sure they manifest tl►e utmost anxiety to gain the confidence of the great body of the people composing the middle classes, and who in fact arc the main support of the nation, let them remove or at least moderate these un equal and most unpopular taxes. Surely there are many ways of raising the amount to make up the deficiency, without pressing so hard on the class least able to bear it. We have often said that excessive taxation de feats its own purpose, and what can be more op pressive or unjust than a tax that falls with more severity on the poor than the rich ? Window Tax is not only a severe visitation on the poor, but is prejudicial to their health by ex cluding the free air of Heaven from purifying their habitations. Let us hope that Lord AL THORP Will so manage his Ways and Means that the man of wealth can no longer have it in his power to boast that he contributes no more to the state for the enjoyment of his ample dwel ling than the poor lodging-housekeeper or tradesman for the small portion their several avocations barely leave them for actual oc- cupation. TO THE HONOURABLE THE COMMONS OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND, IN PARLIAMENT AS SEMBLED. THE PETITION OF THE UNDERSIGNED INHABI TANT HOUSEHOLDERS OF THE PARISH OF ST. JAMES, WESTMINSTER, Sheweth,—That the House and Window Tax is in the highest degree oppressive and unjust in its effects upon the middling dames of the people, especially those engaged in trade and manufactures. . That their property has of late yea rs un d ergone very great deterioration; and that in the present distressed state of the country, the returns and profits of trade are so re duced as not to remunerate for the capital and labour em ployed ; that this state of suffering is still further aggravated by the enormous amount levied for llonseand Window Tax. Th..t under these circumstances, while pressing necessity compels the most rigid economy, this impost operates with encreased severity and partiality upon traders, forming an alarming and overwhelming expence, from which it is impossible to escape ; while persons of independent pro perty can and do in immense numbers, either through choice or hdasSity, tegide on the Continent, and eOade it altogether, thus converting it into a diteet and most op pressive tax upon the industrious classes. That it is unnecessary to trouble your Honourable Hous e with the details of the incessant and harrassing vexations connected with this tax, as the tax itself is so obnoxious in principle, and oppressive in effect upon the most numerous class of tax-payers in the kingdom, as to render it an intolerable griev :nee; and, when your Honourable House but calls to mind that the difßculties of the country now in the sixteenth year of peace, are so great, that even delay in administering to its imperative necessities is at tended with danger, tre entertain a full confidence, that the immediate repeal of this tax will suggest itself to the wisdom of your Honourable house, as one of the most effective and politic measures that can be adopted, con ducive to the permanent interests, and conciliatory to the feelings of the people. We therefore pray your Honourable House to take these matters into your consideration, and that you will repeal that portion of the assessed taxes levied upon houses and windows. And your petitioners shall ever pray. Despatches have been received at the Foreign Office this morning from the British Ambassa dors at Sweden, France, and Holland. A King's Messenger arrived at the Foreign Office late last night, with despatches from Brussels : they were immediately forwarded to Lord PALMERSTON. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. It appears that the French are strongly fortifying Bayonne, which has been lately furnished with a great number of cannon, and the Mayors of the different com munes hive received orders to prepare quarters for a great number of infantry and cavalry. Accounts from Madrid state that the Treasury is entirely empty, as the movements of the Spanish troops towards the French frontiers have cost the Government five millions of francs. The apostolic patty, on the arrival of the French Minister at Madrid, wished to cause a revolution. The lower classes insulted M. Riera, a Contractor-General, knowing he had a great quantity of money in his hou.e. A guard of 50 men were sent to his assistance, the dif• ferent posts in Madrid were doubled, and numerous pa• troles paraded the streets for several days, which kept or der, and all remained quiet. They write from Soleme Jan. 14, that the Duke of Baden has offered to the Valois a corp d'armee, to reduce the insurgents, which was refused. The Charge d'Affaires of France has made known to the President of the Diet that the King of the French has received with the greatest satisfaction the resolution of the Swiss to maintain their neutrality. The news of the Polish revolution was received at Con stantinople on the 17th of Dec., and great joy was ex pressed there on the occasion. LIVERPOOL, JAN. 22.—The import, this week, of Cot tons is 6184 bags, and the sales reached 27,570 bags, at only last week's prices. In Sugar, about 1200 hogsheads of British Plantation have been sold this week at steady rates. It is reported that the cholera morbus has got to St. Petersburgh, in which city several hospitals have been established to receive the tick. THE FUNDS. The Dutch mail this morning brings the Dutch Funds per cent. lower. By the Express from Paris, the Ma nifesto of the Poles has been received, which appears to be written with great animation, manifesting a determi nation on the part of that nation to gain their liberty or die in the cause ; if conquered, they will lay waste the country; but it is still to be hoped that the mediations of France and Prussia will prevent that sacrifice.

Accounts from Odessa received this morning state that the total value of the imports last year into that port for the consumption of the capital of Russia amounted to 14,198,255 rubles, and for the interior of the empire 6,945,000 rubles. The Dutch Minister in his speech to the States-Gene ral alludes to the opening of the Scheldt, at the same time hopes that the Belgians will raise the siege of Maes tricht. The private letters from Holland say that the Duteh people are displeased with the Scheldt being open. The letters from Berlin received at Amsterdam are rather favourable in regard to Poland, and hopes are entertained that the Polish affairs may yet be settled without blood being shed. There is a report going about that our Ministers cannot agree among themselves, but we understand, from a well informed quarter, there is no truth in the above report. Consols have continued for the most part of the morn at 81 4- for the account ; the speculators are not willing to enter inte any large speculations before the February.

The result of this day's polling, it is calculated, will decide the contest, as, should Alderman Waithman not be able to gain greatly upon his opponent, he will not stand the least chance during the next four days, should the contest continue so long. Meetings of the friends of the two candidates are to be held, to ad vance the interests of each this afternoon —one is to take place at the Crown and Anchor, at which it is expected Mr. liobliouse will reside, in fa vour of Alderman Waithman. Sir James Shaw's friends are indefatigable in their exertions ; and, judging from the state of the poll at eleven o'clock this morning, he is likely to maintain his ground. There are, however, expected a great body of Alderman Withman's friends up this after noon. The opinion, however, is that the election will close in favour of Sir James Shaw. At one o'clock the numbers stood— For Sir James Shaw For Alderman Waithman .... 1,028 _ _ Majority Accounts have been received from the Russian capital this morning to the 9th January, which communi cate the news of the breaking out of the cholera morbus in that city. The Government was actively engaged in adopting precautionary measures to stop the progress of the discease. Ten temporary hospitals had been esta blished with one hundred and fifty beds, but it was stated that '7BO cases of cholera existed. The Board of Coin mere had taken precautionary measures to prevent the increase of the disease by contagion, through the means of merchandize. The advises from Moscow are to the 2d inst. On the 31st of December there were eleven new cases of cholera, and on the Ist of January 87 persons were ill, of whom 44 were expected to recover. Since the commencement of the disease 6305 persons had been attacked, and the deaths bad been 3533. Among the many signs of public enthusiasm for liberty in Warsaw, we notice one which is of a very gratifying character. The Jews have not only contributed with great liberality to the fund raised by the patriots, but they have started a newspaper in the Jewish language, in which the cause of freedom is warmly advocate d. The second number of this paper, which is called the Izraelita dated December 30, is now before us. It states, that the utmost confidence is placed in the Dictator, and that all classes are enthusiastic in the cause of freedom. Amongst its news paragraphs, it announces that a new corps of 2,400 infantry and cavalry, to be called the " Children of Warsaw," has been raised, and that the Adjutant of the Dictator has left Warsaw with despatches for St. Petersburgh. The co-operation of the Jews with the Polish patriots of a different creed, is not confined to contributions of money, and attempts to excite a general feeling in their favour—there are in the Polish army about 2,000 Jewish cavalry, who are said to be equal in appear air:e and discipline to any troops in Europe.

A friend of mine the other day met an intimate, an attorney in extensive practice here, the con versation turned on this subject, and my friend was rather surprised to hear the attorney make an acknowledgement of the justice and necessity of the propo•ed reform.

BRISTOL REFORM MEETING. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—A most glorious meeting in the cause of Reform was held in the Guildhall, in Bristol, yesterday, which I hope you will take some notice of in your Paper. The presentation of the petition to the Commons is not to be entrusted to our Whig Member (Mr. Baillie), because he would not pledge himself to support that destroyer of corruption at elections—" the Vote by Ballot," and our other worthy thick and thin Member (Mr. Hart Davis) was treated with three tremendous groans, for his late speech in Parliament on Reform. The Bristol Papers of this day give a very partial account of the meeting, but I have no doubt we shall have et correct one in the Mercury on Tuesday morning next. Felix Funky says the majority of the meeting was composed of Annual Parliaments anti Universal Suffrage men, Republic ins, anti Infidels, and yet in his account of the speeches he says, that when one of the meeting, Mr. F. Jones, spoke in favour of " every male having a vote," he met with so much opposition that he was obliged to withdraw his proposition; and in respect to Republicanism, I can most positively declare that only one person in the whole meeting raised his voice in favour of it—on the contrary, three most deafening cheers were given for our patriotic King and Queen. He also says three cheers were given for Mr. Henry Hunt. I believe some person did call out " Three cheers for Mr. Hunt," but not above half a dozen people joined them, if so many. The Guildhall was crammed to suffocation, and hundreds could not get in at all. After it was known that Mr. Baillie would not pledge himself to support the Vote by Ballot, Lord Althorp was proposed, and the majority in his favour was full ten to one. The Ballot ! the Ballot ! we must, we will have the Vote by Ballot ! I am, Sir, Your Constant Reader, Jan. 22, 1831. A FREEMAN OF BRISTOL. [We have also received letters from other respectable Correspondents on the subject of this meeting, to all of whom we reply—that we have not yet received the Mercury, but if we find any thing in it that we have not got in our report, we shall readily give it insertion.— En. SUN.] We are utterly unable to keep pace with the time in an account of the numerous Reform Meetings held every day. County after County, City after City is meet ing to petition, and but one feeling seems to animate the whole population. At Norwich, on Wednesday last, in a numerous meeting at St. Andrew's Hall, a series of reso lutions, recommending the Repeal of the Corn Laws, the application of Church Property and Crown Lands to the Public Service, Universal Suffrage, short Parliaments, and the Ballot, were carried unanimously.—Morn. Chronicle. REFORM.—M. D. BELLEW, Esq., High Sheriff of the county Galway, has convened a meeting of his bailiwick, to petition Parliament for full and effectual Reform in the House of Commons, and for the repeal of that remnant of the penal code which effects the rights of the inhabitants of Galway. A meeting is to be held in Ennis to-morrow, to petition Parliament for Reform, and to bring before Parliament the peculiar grievances of that borough.—Dublin Morning Register. No small degree of excitement and anxiety has prevailed throughout this town during the week, in consequence of a report that his Majesty's packets are, in future, to be placed under the direction of the Port Ad miral at Plymouth, which office is at present held by Sir MANLEY DIXON. Such a measure, should it take place, is looke:i upon as calculated, at once, to destroy the com parative state of prosperity which this port now enjoys, which has grown up principally, if not exclusively, with the packet establishment, which was first instituted here in 1668. The proposed change is supposed to have its origin in the system of retrenchment which has been forced on, and partially adopted by Ministers....Falaiouth Packet. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. (I:rotn the Portsmouth Herald of yesterday.) Potasarouvn, JAW. 23.—His Majesty's ship Tweed, 28, Captain the Right Hon. Lord H. J. Churchill, ar rived yesterday from the Cape of Good Hope, which she left 26th November, 1630; St. Helena, 12th December; and Ascension on the 19th December; she has lire tight invalids from the ships on the station, and from the bland of Ascension. Colonel and Lady Mary Fitzroy, bitter to his Grace the Doke of Richmond, can:e hems passen gers in the Tweed. His Majesty's ship Spartiate, 76, is ordered to be com missioned at this port; and we understand that W e M a _ jestv's sh;p Vindictive, fiCl, Nelson, 120, Hibernia, 120, and Prince* Charlotte, 110, are ordered to be tronght forward with all practicable speed for commissioning.— Several new atsamers have also been ordered by the Ad miralty to be built forthwith. We hare not heard any probable cause stated for this movement in the Naval De partment. An order has been given by the Admiralty for his Ma jesty's ship Asia, 84, S ipphire, 28, and Actaeon, 26, to be fitted at this port with lightning conductors, under the immediate superintendence of Mr. W. S. Harris. Mr. Harris's visit to this dock-yard is connected with this arrangement, ant the explanation of his views, of which we have given an account at considerable length in an other place, was with the view of making the various officers in the yard acquainted with the details of hie system, in order that they might be the better able to carry into eff , ct the execution of his plan. The Argyle, male convict ship, is fitting at Deptford for the reception at this port of 250 convicts (rioters) ; she may be expected to arrive here shortly. The Sylvia transport, Lieut. Wesley, agent, has put into Cork, in con sequence of contrary winds, from Rio de Janeiro. It is reported that the Wanderer transport, Lieutenant Young, has been ordered from Deptford to the Mediterra nt an, to receive on board the troops which were wrecked in the Countess of Harcourt, as stated in our last week's paper. Captains in the navy are now permitted to receive boys from the shore indiscriminat.ly, instead of being restricted to taking Oen* from the Ordinary and Greenwich School, as heretofore. Boys so received must net be under fourteen years of age, and not under four feet nine inches in height. The order respecting first clam volunteers being ap pointed by the Admiralty is rescinded, and Captains and Commanders may, as formerly, appoint these officers, with the appropriation of their Lordships. An order has been received at this dock-yard from the Lords Commi,sioners of his Majesty's Navy for the men in that establishment to work six days in the week during the next six months. This arrangement will commence from to-morrow. We understand also that the tradesmen in the yard are not in future to be re quired to do the labourers' work. This latter we consider a very just and proper alteration, as we think nothing so likely to make a man regardless of his own interests, or to render him depraved in his habits, as to lessen his self es►eem or lower him in his own eyes, and which must always be the case when he is put to fulfil duties be has been accustomed to think beneath him. A PPOI NTMENTS, PROMOTIONS, &c.—Vice-Admiral the Hon. Sir Henry Hotham, K.C.B. is appointed Comman der-in-Chief i❑ the Mediterranean, vice Vice-Admiral Sir Pu tesey Malcolm, K.C.B. ; Captain Humphrey F. S'enhouse is appointed to his Majesty's ship Asia, 84, ordered to be fitted out at this port, to receive the flag of Sir Henry Hotham. The following officers have also been appointed to the Asia :—Corri. Wm. Style; Lieutenants Joseph Pearse, of his Majesty's ship Melvile, Thomas Coleman, and Richard Byron ; and Mr. Emeric E. Vidal, of his Majesty's ship Ganges. Mr. George V. Oughten is appointed Purser of the Ganges, vice Vidal. Lieut. John B. Cragg, of his Majesty's ship Semiramis, is ap pointed to his Majesty's ship Talavera. Lieut. A. 11. C. Cape!, of the Talavera, is appointed Flag Lieutenant to Rear-Admiral the Hon. Sir Charles Paget, K.C.H. Com mander-in-Chief on the Irish Station. John Irving Esq. is appointed Secretary to Vice-Admiral Sir H. Hotham. His Majesty's ship Asia, B.i, is ordered to be fitted out at this port for foreign service, being destined to relieve his Majesty's ship Britannia, 120, Cwt. W. J. H. John stone, on the Mediteranean station, and to receive the Flag of Vice-Admiral the Hon. Sir Henry Hotham, K.C.8., who has been appointed Commander-in-Chief on that station.—For her Officers, see Appointments, &c. An order has been received at Weovil, from the Corn , missioners of the Victualling Board, not to brew any more beer for the use of the Navy, at the brewery of that esta blishment, after the present stock in hand of malt and hops shall have been expended. Directions have also been given to brew from the remainieg stock, an article of a better quality. The supply of red wine is also ordered to be discontinued ; an additional quantity of ram will in future be served out instead. The Lords of the Admiralty have issued orders, dated the 10th inst., directing that no more Admiralty Clerks, or Admiralty Midshipmen shall be appointed to his Ma jesty'a ships; and those now serving, when paid off or otherwise discharged, must apply to Captains or Com manders in commission to receive them as part of the ship's complement. _ _ By a circular order from the Admiralty, issued this week to his Majesty's ships, it is ordered, that in future nu ►Master's Assistants or Volunteers of the 2d class, shall be entered in the complements of such ships, excepting only those persons who may have already served in those capa cities ; these will be permitted to be re-entered, and to remain in the service, provided such Captains or Com manders, as may be desirous to have them, make the ne cessary application. The number of Volunteers of the Ist class is to he reduced, according to the scheme of the new peace establishment about to be issued. No Captains Clerks are in future to be entered in the Navy, who may not have previously served in that rating on board one of his Maje , ty's ships. The • bond hitherto required from the parents and guar dians of those young gentlemen who are educated in the Royal Naval College in the Dock-yard, will, in future, we understand, be dispensed with. This bond was intended to ensure the continuance in the eervioe of gentlemen edu cated at the College for the full term of four years front the time of their leaving the College; the sum paid for admis.ion is, however, now considered a sufficient security on that point. An alteration has also been made in an other regulation of the College. According to the old ar rangement, the time occnpied by the students in going through their course of studies, and which was limited to two years, was always allowed to be counted as two years, even if they completed their studies (which they some times have done) in half that time. Now the students are required to remain the full two years at the College. At the expiration of that time, on leaving the College, they will be appointed by the Admiralty to their first ships only, as volunteers of the first class ; their appointments after that must come from Captains in commission, and not from the Admiralty as heretofore. The former new regulation, by which the bond has been dispensed with, seems to be a very proper one. Formerly gentlemen were educated at the College free of expense, and it was neces sary to adopt some measures to prevent their leaving the service at a time when they were likely to become useful and make some sort of return to the country for their gra tuitous education. The Admiralty was ales bound at that time to find ships for those who were thus educated during the whole term of their service until they became Lieu tenants. The education at the College now bei.ig at• tended with considerable expense, it is but just and equ table that gentlemen who have completed their studies should be allowed to turn their talents to the best account they can. Their knowledge having been purchased, they ought surely to be permitted to sell it again if they choose. N. W. SENIOR, Esq., has been appointed to the chair of Political Economy, in the King's College, London; J. J. PARK, Esq., English Law and Jurispru dence; the Rev. HENRY Moseter, hatnral and Experi mental Philosophy ; JOSEPH Rolex, Esq., Lectureship of Commerce ; the Rev. J. R. Mason, M. A., Head Master of the High School, attached to the upper department. It is rumoured that a nunnery is about to be established at Westkury, in the house occupied by Mr. Iftvrico. The premises have been recently purchased by a Roman Catholic gentleman. —Bath Chronicle. A few Sundays ago there were three weddings at Barhy, Northamptonshire, which for singularity perhaps have not been exceeded in the annals of village history. The first gay Lothario was aged about 65, and his bloom ing bride about 35 ; the tecond bridegroom was a perfect cripple, aged about 24, and the bride a buxom widow about 34; the third happy male votary of Hymen was aged 18, and his fair partner a widow, who has a daugh ter older than the bridegroom.—Northamptots Mercury.
