FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Afessager des Chambres of Saturday.), PARIS, OCT. 21:—Within these few days a pretty considerable number of English have arrived at Paris. They announce that many of their countrymen, especially of the higher classes, are preparing to quit England for a time, in where they are not without fears, to come and re side our capital. Let us hope that the continuance of tranquillity and order among us will strengthen this incli nation of our transmarine neighbours. The ett.'lval of a great number of strangers at Paris cannot fail to contri bute to revive trade, and to diffuse prosperity among nil the industrious classes. " Viscount de Chateaubriand has rettttned to Paris. The Gazette says, that he has come to publish a pam phlet, against the proposal of M. de Briqueville, as he has published one against the proposal of M. Baude. " It appears certain that the line of telegraphs to Lille is going to be made to communicate with Brussels. The points where the telegraphs will be placed are marked out. The line will pass through Tournay and Atli, (From the Journal du commerce of Friday.) " ALGIERS, OCT. 6.--We have this moment received the afflicting new of the occupation of Bona by the Bedouins, who besieged it ; these troops, paid by the Bey of Con etantina, were commanded by Hadgi Bensamoun, formerly a merchant at Bona. This town had no defenders but its own inhabitants since the French left it. " On the 10th of September General Berthezene sent 120 Zoares, under M. Ouder, a French officer, to the aid of Bona. After an heroic resistance, 60 were massacred by the Bedouins ; the others, mostly wounded, escaped to a ship in the road. M. Ouder is said to have perished as he was embarking with the Zoares. The Bedouins deso lated the town with fire and sword. One French battalion might have prevented the catastrophe. Tu retake it, more than a regiment must be sacrificed."

The following are from the Paris Papers of Saturday. At three o'clock on Saturday morning a Cabinet Courier arrived in Paris from Brussels with the definitive Protocol of the London Conference on the subject of the affairs of Holland and Belgium. The Peerage question was more than ever the theme of discussion ; it was thought it would undergo some modifications, but must eventually pass. The Chouans continued in insurrection, and Government was said to have sent fresh instructions to General Bonnet to put them down. Algiers appears to be a troublesome appendage to France. A detachment of native troops, com manded by French officers, sent on the 10th ult. from Algiers to Bona, was attacked by the Bedouins, and com pelled to take refuge on board a French vessel in the har bour, with the loss of several killed, among whom was the officer in command.

Great Britain, Prussia, and Russia, after having maturely weighed all the considerations which have been made to theta by the Belgian Plenipotentiary upon the mean; of concluding a definitive treaty relative to the separation between Belgium and Holland, have experienced the le gret of finding that there is in these communications no approximation or the views and opinions of the parties directly interested. Being unable to abandon to Inert protracted uncer tainty questions of which the immediate solution has be come necessary to Burope,—forced to resolve them Under pak or teeing them produce the incalenlable evil of a gene ral war,—perfectly informed, moreover, respecting all the points in discussion by the communications which have been made to them by the Belgian Plenipotentiary, and the Plenipotentiaries of the Netherlands, the undersigned have but submitted to a duty which their Courts have to discharge, as well towards themselves as towards the other states, and which all attempts at direct conciliation be tween Belgium and Holland have still left unaccomplished, —they have only caused to be respected the supreme law of an European interest of the first order—they have only caused a cessation of resistance to s necessity which had become more and more imperious,—when they fixed the conditions of a definitive agreement which Europe, friendly to peace, and having a right to exact the preservation of peltee, has sought for in vain, during the space of a year, on the propositions made by the two parties, or accepted in turn' by one of them and rejected by the other. _ . 4, In the condition which the articles hereunto an nexed contain, the Conference of London has been obliged to have regard 'only to the principles of equity. It has followed the impression of the strong desire which animated it, of conciliating interests with rights, and of securing to Holland as well as to Ilegium reciprocal advantages, good frontiers, a !tale of territorial possession without dispute, a liberty of commerce mutually beneficial, and a partition of debt which has been 1-47gulated less by minute calculations (the materials for wllleh, indeed, have not been furnished), less also by the strictness of conventions and treaties, than with the view of lessening the burdens and of favouring tho prosperity of the States, " In inviting the Belgian Plenipotentiary to sign the article of which mention has been made above, the under signed will observe, " 1. That these articles shall have all the force and value of a solemn convention between the Belgian Govern ment and the Five Powers. " 2. That the Five Powers guarantee the execution o! them. "." a. That, once accepted by the two parties, they are destined to be inserted, word for word, in a direct treaty between Belgium and Holland, which shall, in addition to them, contain only stipulations relative to the peace and friendship which shall subsist between the two countries and their Sovereigns. " 4. That this treaty, signed under the auspices of the Conference of London, shall be placed under the formal guarantee of the Five Powers. " b. That the articles in question form a whole, and do not admit of any separation. " 6. Lastly, that they contain the final and irrevocable deci.ions of the Five Powers, who, of common accord, are resolved themselves to bring about the full and entire ac ceptance of the said articles by the party adverse to them, if the party should reject them. " The undersigned embrace this opportunity of offering to the Belgian Plenipotentiary the assurance of their most high consideration. (Signed) " ESTERIIAZY. " TALLEY RAND " M./LOW. MATUSEWICZ.

" The undersigned Plenipotentiaries of the Courts of Austria, France, Great Britain, Prussia, and Russia, after having communicated to the Belgian Plenipotentiary the 24 Articles annexed to their note of this day, and after having declared that these articles formed the final and irrevocable decision of the Conference of London, have still an obligation to fulfil towards the Plenipotentiary, and they will do so with a frankness, the motives of which cannot fail to be appreciated. " The five courts reserving the task, and taking on themselves the engagement to obtain the assent of Holland to the articles in question, even though it should begin by rejecting them, guaranteeing besides their execution, and convinced that these articles, founded on principles of in contestable equity, offers to Belgium all the advantages which it has a right to claim, cannot omit to declare here their firm determination to oppose by all means in their power the renewal of a contest which, having now no object, would he the source of great disasters to the two countries, and would threaten Europe with a general war, which it is the paramount duty of the five Powers to pre vent. But the wore calculated this determination is to make Belgium easy with respect to its future situation, and the circumstances which now cause lively alarm there, the more will it authorise the five Powers equally to employ all means i❑ their power to obtain the assent of Belgium to the abovementioned articles, if, contrary to all expecta tion, it should refuse them.

DUTCH AND BRUSSELS PAPERS. THE HAGUE, OCT. 18.—In the sitting of the Second Chamber of the States-General to-day, three candidates for the office of President of the Chamber was balloted for. The choice fell on Messrs. Van Randwick Sypkens, Van Asch, and Van Wyck. His Majesty will choose one of them for President. For some days past our Funds have been much in de 'nand, and large purchases have been made in consequence of orders from abroad. This has occasioned a considerable rise, and various conjectures are afloat as to the cause of this rise, whether it is to be ascribed to the orders from abroad, and if so, what may be the motive for these or tiers. Some persons are led to hope a speedy arrange ment with Belgium. It is reported that our Government has received a new protocol, the contents of which are not positively known ; but it is affirmed that it relates to the frontiers, and that Maestricht, with a large portion of Limburg with Luxemburg, are assigned to Holland. This seems to be the same protocol that has lately been received at Brussels. BEIALIN, OCT. 14.—Accounts from Warsaw of the 9th (in the Prussian State Gazette of the 15th) say that the Grand Duke Michael returned to that city on theBth, and Field-Marshal Paskewitsch on the 9th. A number of Russian Generals, and other officers of rank, had ar rives there, also fifty officers, of diffetent ranks, belonging to the Polish army. The latter, among whom is Colonel Strygenski, came from Lipno. Accounts from Cracow, received at Warsaw, say that Prince Czartoryski, General Skrzynecki, and Count Malachowski, retired into the Austrian territory before the Russian troops entered Cra cow. Chlopieki, 1% hose wounds are not yet healed, re mains at Cracow. Our State Gazette, which has hitherto been silent re specting the events at Neufchatel, now gives a short account of the origin, progress, and termination of the troubles. It enumerates the benefits that the inhabitants of the prin cipality have enjoyed during their connection with Prussia for above one hundred years, and highly commends the conduct of a great number of the citizens who voluntarily took up arms to maintain order and restore the lawful Government ; it also gives much praise to the judicious measures adopted by the Swiss Diet, by which order was restored in a few days. As the Council of State of the Principality has convoked the Legislative Assembly, and Major Von Pfuel who, on his former mission acquired the general esteem, is gone to Neufchatel, with full powers as his Majesty's Commissioner, it may be hoped that the legal order of things will be completely restored.

Van de Weyer arrived yes terday from London, and, after a long conference at the hotel of the Minister for Foreign Affairs, set out imme diately for the camp at Diest. He is supposed to be the bearer of the ullimatunt of the Conference, which fixes the conditions of the peace between Holland and Belgium, to which both parties will be forced to adhere. It appears that these conditions are not favourable to us. They are said to deprive us of the left bank of the Meuse to the communes opposite Ruremonde, and of a tract of one league round the walls of Maastricht; in a word, of the finest and richest portion of Limburg, and of all the German part of Luxemburg. 8,000,000 of the debt are laid on us. It is supposed that these unjust terms will meet with much opposition in the two Chant. hers, and that among those who oppose them will be many who warmly supported the 18 articles that were submitted to the Congress. The King, with the French Princes and suite, arrived Lae from Diest at eleven o'clock last night. A British Cabinet messenger arrived yesterday evening from the Hague, with despatches from the English and French Ambassadors. Another British Cabinet messenger set out this morning for London. CHAMBER OF REPRESENTATIVES, 20.—The Minister for Foreign Affairs, after de tailing to the Chamber the proceedings of the Conference up to the time of the formation of the treaty, read the following letter, addressed to the Belgic Plenipotentiary, along with a copy of that document: -... 16 T{•• .rtaantigllloll PlPll;ll(ltPnf;lrLaa of Austria, France, tion differ too much from the instructions which he has received from his Government, and from the prelithinariel which served as the basis of these instructions, for the undersigned to affix his signature to the twenty-four articles.

In circumstances so serious, it is of importance to us to give to ourselves a sincere and faithful account of the state of things. The proposals continue to be the sub Jett of his Majesty's deliberation. To-day, it has been my duty to confine thyself to the office of a reporter only. The reading of the report of the 21 articles was fol lowed by a long agitation. M. Osy desired that the 24 articles should be immedi ately printed. The Minister announced, that the report at the 24 articles would be printed and distributed among the members in the evening. M. G. Legrelle...-It se2rns to me, gentlemen, that the situation of the country and the interest of its defenc e tender a question necessary. Before the 24 articles can have been discussed, and our decision transmitted to the Conference of London can be forwarded by it to the Dutch Government, the 25th of October, the day fixed for the renewal of hostilities, will be past. Now I would know whether the armistice will be prolonged beyond the 25th, or whether we are on the point of having recourse to arms ? M. Pirmez said the Chamber had nothing to discuss, as it was for the King alone to make treaties of peace.— (The agitation of the assembly was extreme,—groups of members engaged in conversation.) The Pre9ident, on some question being put, announced that the maps of Limburg and Luxemburg, with the lines described in the 21 articles, would he lithographed. M. Legrelle repeated hie question about the renewal of hostilities; to which the Minister said, " I regret I can not give a satisfactory answer to the questions of the Hon. Member ; but I am ignorant whether a renewal of hosti lities will take place."—(Agitation.) A proposal of M. C. Rodenbach was in the order of the day, but M. C. Rodenbach said, " We are too much afflicted with what we have just heard to discuss this mo tion to-day." The Chamber adjourned till to-morrow, the 21st, at noon. P.S. OcT. 21.—To.day the President of the Chamber of Representatives ha informed the assembly that it will probably receive to-morrow a communication from the Government relative to the treaty of peace. BRUSSELS, Ocr. 21.—Marshal Gerard arrived here yesterday from Alaubeuge ; he was immediately visited by the Duke of Orleans, and then waited on the King, with whom he remained an hour. The Dukes of Orleans and Nemours set out to-day for France, with their suites. Several couriers were despatched yesterday from Brussels in various directions. " We are able (says the Emancipation) to affirm, that since the arrival of the twenty-four articles the Minister of War has given increased activity to his department. He has submitted to the King for his approval, the names of the Officers who are to be attached to the Royal head quarters. If his Majesty has not yet approved it, this must be ascribed to a circumstance independent of his will."

The same disparity in numbers continued during the first four hours of the poll, and at three o'clock, the Noble Lord having shot rapidly a-head of his opponent, Mr. Thornley very properly declined the contest.

After divine service, a collection will be made, towards defraying the expences for opening the church for divine worship." Now, Sir, I, in common with many others in this city, want to know what the expenses are ? In some cases, it is said, they amount to 5001., and that a large proportion of that sum goes into the Bishop's pocket. So simple have I hitherto been in these matters, that I thought the Right Reverend Fathers in God, being paid so many thousand pounds annually for the arduous duties they have to perform, made no charge for the separate duties which belong to their office as Bishops, To charge every person who enters 2s. 6d., strikes me as theatrical,—it is " conforming to the world,"—it look. like " covetousness," and a seeking (even in this solemn service) for " the loaves and fishes,"—instead of a de sire to comfort and benefit the human race. It reminds me of the story of the artist who was employed to paint a picture of the Apostles, and having made them all very red, his employer remarked, " that they looked as if they were all in a state of inebriety."

We have reason to believe that among the ancient Nobility of the kingdom who would have voted for the Reform Bill, had they been able to attend, were the Earls of EGAEMONT and ABERCAVENNY, in this county ; but these Noble Lords had not been well enough to take their seats, and consequently could not vote by proxy.— Brighton Gazette. LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 21, 1831. Among the legislative productions of the sessions just terminated is a New Church Build ing Act, purporting to be an Act to explain and amend the 7th and Bth Geo. IV. cap. 72, which, as our readers are aware, authorized the Church Commissioners generally to declare the right of nomination to be in persons building and en dowing churches and chapels. This Act hav ing given rise to much dissatisfaction both in the High Church party, and in the party by whom the Church is in no favour at all, and hav ing caused much question and litigation as to the powers vested by it in the Church Com missioners, is now repealed to make room for a new one, which deprives the Church Com missioners of the greater part of the absolute jurisdiction they before possessed, and gives the Bishops the principal controul over the subject —a circumstance which doubtless will be pleas ing to the Anti-Reforming admirers of episco pacy by law established, however it may be re ceived in other quarters. The new Act, Ist and 2d William IV., cap. 38, enables the Bishop of the diocese, in case of the population of a parish being 2,000, and existing churches not affording accommodation for more than one third thereof, or where there is a population of 300 at a distance of more than two miles from the church, to declare the right of nomination to be in the person belonging to the Church of England, declaring his intention to build a new church or chapel, and to provide 1,0001. or more for its endowment, and also a fund for repairs at the rate of five per cent. on the cost of the building, to be secured as mentioned in the Act ; and also that one-third of the church shall be in free sit- tings, provided that no new church for 300 per sons shall be built nearer than two miles from th e existing church. This enactment will probably be the means of bringing many new churches into existence, and if that object be desirable, it is likely to tend to the further ance o f its ac complishment. But it should be observed that neither the patron, or incumbent, are to be con sulted upon the subject, and it will consequently be in the power of a Bishop to authorise the erection of a church against the will of the two persons in the parish who will be the most affected by it. There are Bishops whose views are not unlikely to be in direct opposition to those of the patron and incumbent upon such a measure, and there would, in such a case, be neither justice nor policy in acting adversely to the wishes of those who are locally interested, for the sake of the assumed advancement of the interests of the Established Church. Besides, the Bishop may confer the nomination in a case where a chapel may not really be wanted, from the population being chiefly members of other sects, and there may be consequently no real need of a new church except in the mind of some proselytizing visionary willing to endow it• Yet, under the new Act, the new chap] may be set up by the Bishop—though the patron protests his pro perty will be injured—though the incumbent declares his influence will be undermined—and though the inhabitants confess that they prefer resorting to other places of worship. In cases other than those we have mentioned, the Church Commissioners are to continue to have the power of declaring the right of nomi nation to be in persons building and endowing to their satisfaction, but the consent ( . ) . f the Bishop is now to be superadded. Patrons and incumbents are to have notice of intended appli cations, and if patrons will build and endow themselves, they are to have the preference in so doing. But it is obvious that this latter provision does not mend the matter, as far as regards the injury done to the property which is interfered with. The Act is a strong precedent for those who desire to molest ecclesiastical pro perty in general—for to authorise an erection directly diminishing the value of an advowson, is pretty much the same thing as to meddle with the tithes of that advowson. The Ist and 2d William IV. c. 38, whether a good or a bad measure in itself, will afford an excellent argu ment to those who will, before long, propose a new arrangement for the Church revenues in general ; for, if spoliation of private rights for the public good be justifiable here, it may be so also in other measures from whence the gain to 1 the public would be likely to be much greater than from any Church Building Bill like that we are noticing. We see no reason for such an innovation in the law of real property, as the clause which de clares that land conveyed for the site of a new church shall not be subject to question for want of title, after five sears. To establish one law for the laity and another for the Clergy, in such matters, is highly unjust, and quite inconsistent with the endeavours that are making to reform the Law of Prescription as applicable to the Church in other respects. It is by the introduc tion of enactments of this description by side winds that the English law is filled from time to time with anomalies and absurdities. There has been abroad for some years a sort of mania for church building, which seems to have prevented people from reflecting whether, if the services in existing churches were more numerous than they are, there would not be much less deficiency of accommodation than is commonly supposed ? If arrangements were made in populous places to have four or five ser vices a day in the present churches, there would surely be opportunity for supplying the religious wants of almost all persons of the established religion, for whom alone accommodation needs to be provided. As to the notion, that rooms should be provided for sectarians by way of en ticing them back to the Church, it is quite un tenable, if not ridiculous. The Clergy of the Establishment have quite enough to do to look after their own flocks, without seeking to prose lytize among the Dissenters. The Dissenters, on their part, have reasons for separating, which however unintelligible to churchmen, are not likely to be overcome by providing them with house-room if they choose to come round to the establishment. Making, therefore, every allow ance for the zeal of the framers of this New Church Act, we are hound to say that it appears to us to contain much that is in principle fal lacious, and almost as much that is extremely unjust. In our last accounts, received from Dover this morning, it is said that the Belgians have re fused to accept the Treaty of Peace with Hol land, agreed on by the Five Mediating Powers. In consequence of the late unnatural junction of the Star with the Albion Newspaper, one be ing a staunch Reform, the other an equally staunch Anti-Reform Journal, a respectable body of farmers, who are in the habit of as sembling on market days at the Bull Inn, Col chester, were so disgusted at the forced alliance, that they not only burnt our unfortunate Even ing Cotemporary in the news-room, but sent up its ashes, inclosed in a small parcel, to a respect able London newsman, with a request that they might in future be supplied with The Sun, instead of the Albion. REPEAL OF THE COAL DUTIES.—We have recently seen some documents which bear sufficient evidence of the indefatigable exertions made by an individual in the West of England, which must have had great weight in producing this salutary measure. The gentleman alluded to is a resident of Plymouth, and whose valu able literary productions on the subject were un ostentatiously displayed under anonymous sig natures. It appears some steps have been taken by his townsmen to promote the presentation of a public tribute of reward for his most efficient public service rendered in this cause ; and from circumstances which have come to our know ledge, we shall be very glad to hear that the re ward will be commensurate with the desert. We are not at liberty to state the name of the party in print, but ahould any of our readers feel cle• sireus of the information, it may he obtained by applying at our office. By a return made to the House of Commons it appears that five persons—viz., the Duchess of NEW. CASTLE, Lord FARNROROUGII, Lord REAY, Mrs. PERCY SMITII, and Lady Sy.Yrtoon, have relinquished their pensions on the Civil List, amounting to 2,6091. 4s. 6d. per annum. This is, no doubt, one of the results of the exposure which took place upon the subject last year. We wish that a similar feeling had been more extensive.

GENTLEMEN, SINCE my last Address, I have had an op portunity of becoming personally known to many of you in the County, and have now nearly completed my canvass in the Isle of Ely. The flattering promises of support which I have every where met with, encourage me to look forward to the result of the contest with the most sanguine hopes of success. I am fully convinced that the sweeping and destructive change contemplated by the Bill, under the specious pretext of Reform, is by no means so popular among the Free holders as has been represented, that all sober-minded agri culturists look upon it as a measure destructive to their in terests and to the welfare of the country. Mr. Townley, Gentlemen, has publicly pledged himself to support the whole of that Bill, has bound himself to all its ruinous consequences, its anomalies, and imperfections. Will you, too, become its advocates and supporters ? Surely not. Look well at the independent rejection of it by the Ft eeholders of Dorsetshire, shewn in their late elec tion. Regard the equally valuable manifestation of opi nion exhibited at Great Grimsby. These are glorious certainties. These are facts which must point out to every considerate mind that the " remedy is worse than the disease." I shad actively continue my personal canvass until the day of nomination, and moreover trust that I shall be able to pay my respects to every one of you. I repeat my firm determination of going to the Poll, and respectfully but earnestly call upon my friends to continue their powerful exertions, and, by their attendance there on the day of nomination, triumphantly testify that the principles which I advocate, as the firm friend of agricul ture, as the supporter of order, of rational and well-regu lated Reform, have the preponderance in this County and I , le of Ely. _ _ _ - I have the honour, to be, Gentlemen, Your most obedient and very faithful servant, CHARLES PHILIP YORKE.
