'Alembcr had given of himself, he (Lord Althorp) looked upon as a case of residence lea Lincoln. The Hon. Member, though he might be several months absent from Lincoln, hvpt a house and an establishment there. If he shut up his house and removed his establishment, then he would . become a non-resident in the sense of the Bill. Mr. HOPE did not think that the freehoirters who at present possessed the right of voting in borough towns were more connected with agriculture than they were wi'h the trading interests of the towns where their franchige existed. He did not sea 'such merit in the Bill, and the whole Bill, as to induce him to act upon the advice of the Attorney-General and to support this clause. Sir EDWARD SUGDEN rose, and was proceeding to address the Committee upon a comparison between the I.ltit and 18th clauses of the Bill, when Lord ALTHORP rose, and stated that the 18th clause had b: en materially altered, and until it was before tl e Committee, it was a waste of time to discuss it. He had altered the clause to the effect that no person should he deprived of his vote for a freehold in a county unless that freehold should confer upon him the right of voting for a town. A second alteration was, that if a man should let his freehold to a tenant who by his lease should acquire a right of voting, the landlord should not like his vote fat the county. Sir E. SUGDEN maintained, that by this arranee ment the Noble Lord had deserted his own principle. Towns, such as Brighton and Southwark, for iestente, contained many freeholds, the owners of le-Melt Would be thrown into the constituency of the coontive, and thus the aristocracy, particularly if a county were divid.d, would lose their just influence. The effect of dividing counties would he to give additional weieht to towns, end he could never be persuaded that cutting counties Into two could make either part of the nature of a nomination return to that House. If he thought that such would be the effect, he would oppose the clause, for he was a friend to a full end free constituency. He found particular fault with the Bill, for it was a system of errors and compromises, and if one clause created votes, or deprived persona of th&r votes, there was sure to come some other clause which did the very reverse. Miserable would be the country that laboured under such a changeable Constitution as this till would introduce. He objected to non-residente being pre_ vented noting for towns, when the same regulation was not to be observed in counties. He should propose to the te'unmittee that those who held freeholds in towns that were counties of themselves, should not.be alloeeed to vote in right of those freeholds for the county at large, and he would introduce a clause into the Bill which would pre vent the fabrication of fraudulent freeholds. Ile was an advocate fir a real representation of the people, but the only question with him at that moment was, what would heat secure the rights of the aristocracy. He was anxious that these rights should be protected, not so much for the benefit of the aristocracy as fur the people at Imre. He should decidedly oppose the proposition that the Commis sioners should have any power in fixing the boundaries of those towns which were counties of themselves, for all such boundaries were already ascertained and registered. Lord ALTHORP reminded the Hon. and Learned gentleman that he had suggested nothing in his speech that bad not been suggested before. lie could not think of occupying the time of the Committee by going into the 18th clause, before the clause was regularly before it ; am/ he should now only observe that the Bill g ,oe no new rights to freeholders in towns ; whilst the admission of copyholders and leaseholders to county elections would di minish the b+lance which was in favour of towns. All chit the Bill hid done was to place the freeholders in towns which were counties as much as possible on the tame footing as those of towns that were not counties. He was himself sorry to give the Commissioners a power to alter the limits of towns which were counties, but he had not yet heard anything suggeetrd that could enable him to dispense with this arrangement. The report of the Commissioners was to be laid upon the tables of both Houses of Parliament, and he would confess that it would be desirable that the report should in no case be considered :alit! until it was approved of by both Houses. Sir C. WETHERELL slid that tie Noble L , wd bad now given up a point which he had formerly refused to concede. It was the constant vaunt, the great boast, of the originators of the 161 l that its characteristic feature was, that it was, and would be final ; and yet the Noble Lord -now came forward with a propOsition which he only a few days ago strenuously resisted, and which would, to all intents and purposes, effect an entire alteration in the principles and wotkings of the (Hear, hear.) It ap r earrd that the town freeholders were to be separated from the towns, and thrown into the counties. Whence this change, so destructive to the rural electors ? If they thus disconnected, for mere Parliamen tary purposes, the freeholders from towns, on what grounds could they call upon those freeholders to pay the several town-rates and taxes to which they were at present. liable? And what would be the effects of their thus over whelming the county electors with town freeholders? Why, simply to destroy the landed representation alto. gether.—(Hear, hear.) In Staffordshire, for example, they would have an irruption of 600 or 700 of these town freeholders from Lichfield alone, not to say any thing of other places, and so far there could be no agricultural re presentative from that county. The Noble Lord's bonus to the landed interest would then, after all, act as a subversion of that interest : it was, in fact, a specks of ignis fatuus, accustoming the country gentlemen to po litical fraud, and which would inevitably lead them to destruction. Sir A. DALRYMPLE al•o considered, that the gene ral effect of the Bill would be injurious t the landed in terests. If they drew a line in 'Warwick-hire, for example ; which was to return four county Members, they would tied that Birminghem would return two of these Mem bers, besides its own two, and Coventry the other two ; that is, that the representation would be completely in the hands of the town electors, to the cost of the county or lands d interest.---(Hear.) Indeed, at the last election, the Birmingham Political Union was so influential, that no Anti-Rolormer durst present himself to the meeting ; and he was in'ormed that it might, if it so thought tit, have nominee.' the candidates. Lord ALTHORP was surprised at the inconsistency of the Hon. Member who spoke last. The Hon. Member said that, in point of feet, the Birmingham Political Union did return the four Members which Warwickshire sent to that House, and yet taunted Ministers with their Bill as being likely to produce the elf ct already in existence.— (Hear, hear.) The Hon. and Learned Member hit. Bo roughlat idge, in his usualerratic mariner, told them that be eared not whether the electors belonged to the towns or to the counties. He believed the Hon. and Learned Gentle man—he believed it was a matter of perfect indifference to biro how the Bill or its clauses were worded, or whether it passed into a law or otherwise.—(Hear, hear.) Otherwise he could not account for his taunts at Ministers for having yielded to the suggestions of expediency, and consented to submit the report of the Commissioners on the county di visions to the ultimate decision of the House. He should have rather expected the commendation of the Hon. Mem ber, as the proposition had emanated from his side of the House, and had been adopted by Ministers for its intrin sic merits, regardless of all imputations on the score of change.—(Hear.) But, after all, what did this great change amount to ? Certainly it affected not the principle of the Bill, and was a mere questio❑ as to the point of its machinery.—(Hear.) But thus it was that the Hon. and Learned Gentleman was magnifying every mole-bill into a great mount tin.—(Hear.) Of this disposition to ix aggerate they had a striking instance in the Hon. and Learned Gentleman's allusion to Staffordshire. The Bill, said he, will have the effect of pouring in five, nay, six, and as it was, 700 town freeholders from Lichfield alone, among the county electors. Now, what was the fact? Shnply, that there were but 210 such freeholders in the whole district—(Hear)—and out of those they would have to deduct those voters whose freehold bestowed upon them a vote for the representation of those towns Mr. HOLDSWORTH considered that the Bill would bestow a prepobderating influence upon the towns over the rural electors. Indeed, the last election showed that such was too much the case, even under the present system. Mr. KEMP would not deny the influence of the Bir mingham Political Union in Warwickshire, or that a 'thong feeling existed in the late election of that county against Anti-Reform candidates, but yet would maintain that that influence, and that feeling, were not carried to such an extent as to deprive Anti-Refurniers of a fair Mr J. E. DENISON said the simple • • which representation should the freeholders to o w t e counties guesft'hin was, for . for the of towns have votes for the tuture, or , for . the county at large. This question did not affect t 1 1 ). of the Bill, nor would it, perhaps, be of any gene e r l3 l linciple impor tance on which side the vote of the House that ev.-nio should preponderate. But it was a matter of considerabl e local importance, and on that recount he called the atten tion of the House to its operation. One of the effects o f the Bill before the H ouse, was to divide into classes the various interests which entered into its composi tion, and at least for the purpose of the present discussion to devote to each class the protection of some distinct interest. For instance, additional Mem bers were to be given to counties to maintain the interests of the land, and to the esisting Membeis fur counties the land looked for its protection in the present discussions. It was on this account, as Member for a county, that he called the attention of the House to this clause—nut that personally he was attached with too bigotteti a partiality to thy exclusive interest, or was 'trot ready most fully to acknowledge the nsef‘al effects with which all the great interests act -d and re-acted mutually one upon the other. What, then, should guide the House t.tl tt right decision on the present question ? Surely great weight should be attached to the Character of these voters themselves, and to the consideration of theit own peculiar and intrinsic interests. His Honourable and Learned Friend (the Attorney-General) had stated that in his opinion, these votes generally partook rather of the character of rural than of town votes; and in speaking of these votes in Nottingham he said that a large proportion of them had been manufactured for the purpose of balanc ing parties in timer; of strong political excitement, that they were not resident, and many had never :ten the free holds in right of which they Vot6l. tie thought his Hon. and Learned Friend could not be quite correct in that state ment. He did hr."; pretend to compare his local acquaintance with the politics of the town of Nottingham to that of his Honourable and Learned Friend t but in looking at a paper which had been laid oh the table of the House, he saw that 7t+o of these freehold voters were resident in the town, awl there could be no doubt that the interests of these 750 residents Were tuttcia more closely identified with the town than with the county at large. Would it be a br;al - 1 to these voters, who had through the whole ea:l'm of their lives exercised their franchise in the tmvn, who had formed attachments to parties and to can didates, who were many of them warmly devoted to his Hon. and Learned Friend, now suddenly to remove them from thin snore limited sphere; and to transplant them into the larger and less congenial mass of the county representation ? Certainly not. He would net be misunderstood on this point; no one more willingly ac knewledged the value of that part of the county constitu ency which resided in towns; but this laud went to take away the right from the bankers, the merchants, the principal tradesmen, because they would vote for the town in the right of their ten-pound houses, while it continued the privilege to the smaller class of freeholders, who pro bably had more circumscribed and purely local interests. The tlause, indeed, attempted to do too much ; it tried to avoid a seeming anomaly, and created a substantial grievance. It might easily be awlified, but if he were called upon to vote for it as it now stood, or for the amend ment; he must prefer the amendment, and vote against the original clause. After a short reply from Colonel DAVIES, the Com mittee divided, when there appeared— For the clause 164 Against it l!4 Majority for Ministers --40 On our return to the gallery we found Mr. BERNAL and Lord ALTIIORI' busily employed in filling up the blanks in clause 16. After this task was accomplished, and be fore the clause was put from the chair, Mr. D. GILBERT proposed an amendment, but not a word of his amendment, or of the speech which preceded it, was audible in the gallery. Previously to the CIIAIRP.IAN'S putting the question on Mr. Gilbert's amendment, he said that he wished for the directions of the Committee how he should proceed. There were already • three notices of amendments to be moved on this clause, and he was at a loss to know how he ought to proceed in point of order. Mr. D. GILBERT was understood to apologise for his irregularity. Some conversation then took place between Sir R. PEEL, Sir E. SUGDEN, and Mr. D. GILBERT, but its object was not intelligible in the gallery. Sir E. SUGDEN suggested that the proper time for discussing the Hon. Member for Bodmin's amendment would he at the close of that on the clause itself. Mr. D. GILBERT, we believe, acceded to the recom mendation of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman. Lord ALTHORN then moved as an amendment, that the word " bad" should be inserted in the clause instead of " seized." _ _ _ Sir E. SUGDEN said it had been repeatedly ruled in Courts, both for law and equity, that " seized" was the correct legal word. The SOLICITOR GENERAL replied, that the word " having" occurred in an old statute, and as the present clause gave a right of voting to a new class, namely, copy holders, it had been deemed preferable to use a word which would apply to both. The objection was merely technical, and if it appeared valid to the Committee, he presumed that Ministers would make no diffietalty of as senting. It was the object of the clause to give a power of voting to lessees and sub-lessees, who had a permanen t and sufficient interest in the land (that is, a lease in pos session) for a certain number of years. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman, we believe, specified sixty years. He also added, that it was not intended to affect the right of any existing freeholders, but the Bill would merely place copyholders on a common footing with leaseholders. Sir E. SUGDEN observed, that the word which at present stood would he better adapted to embrace both classes than that proposed. This clause, he found, would actually give four votes under different tenures out of the same property—(Hear, hear)—and was otherwise so objec tionable that it was impossible it could work well. He should therefore have no hesitation in opposing it. Mr. C. FERGUSSON was decidedly averse to the clause, because it would have the eff-ct of giving lessees and landlords a power of creating votes ad libitum ; and should a clause of the same tendency be introduced into the Scotch Reform Bill, he would infinitely prefer abiding by the present system of representation, pernicious as that a)stern had been found in its operation. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman went on to contend that no person but the tenant in possession ought to vote. The vote of the intermediate party should not be allowed. Sir C. WETHERELL said the object of the Noble Lord was, that the lessee should, under particular circum stances, lie placed passibus equis with the freeholder, but in this clause the lessee went a step farther than the free holder. There could he but one vote out of the same free hold, but there might be two out of the leasehold. He did not object to the principle of the leaseholder voting in par ticular instances, and of certain value, but lie did object to any person voting but the tenant in possession. Mr. O'CONNELL did not object to derivative votes, provided the parties had profitable interests to the amount named in the Bill ; but according to the terms of this clause, a man who had land for a term of two hundred years might create one hundred and forty votes out of it. Letting it out to one man for one hundred and ninety-nine years would create one vote ; then that man underletting it for one hundred and ninety-eight years would be the second, and so on till it came down to sixty years ; for each of the lessees or assignees to whom it was to be so leased or assigned would, according to the wording of this clause, be an assignee or lessee of the " original term." If this were not the clause, it should be so stated in the clause itself. But the be.it cure fur all these anomalies would be to make profit, and not rant, the criterion of the franchise. Let no man vote on any lease or assignment who -had not an interest of 101. a year profit on it. Lord MILTON complained of the principle of extend ing the. franchise to leaseholders. He did not object to eopyholders, but he had a decided objection to giving the franchise to leaseholders, because he believed that its ten dency was oligarchical. It introduced a class of men who were more dependent on their landlords, and who were likely to overbalance the, independent interest in counties. If this was intended as a sort of compensation to the landed interest for the less of influence they were supposed to sustain by the slaughter of the small boroughs, then ire must say that it ' as quite at variance with the avowed principles of the Bill. This extension of the franchise to 10/. leaseholders would have a material effect upon the division of landed property, injurious to agricul ture, as that property would have a tendency to run into those divisions and tenures which gave the franchise under ' the Bill, rather than unto those masses which best pro moted the interests of agriculture. He would, therefore, move that that part of the clause extending the franchise to leaseholders be annulled. The CHAIRMAN reminded the Noble Lord, that they had not yet come to that part of the clause. Mr. WESTERN said, that the proposition of the Noble Lord would have a direct tendency to exclude the great mass of the tenantry of England from the franchise, to which he (Mr. Western) could not consent. The ATTORNEY. GENERAL contended that there was no more anomaly in four persons having a right to vote out of the same property, if they had a 101. interest in it, than there would be in allowing twenty persons to vote out of the same property with a 40s. interest each. As to profit. and not rent, being the criterion of the fran chise, he contended that the only certain criterion to go by was rent. It would be impossible to go over a tenant's accounts to see whether he had a profit of 101. or not, but the rent was always certain, and it was fair to assume that no man would take a lease of a property to lose by it ; or if he did lose, he was still the representative of pro perry, fur i n t if he hadu „ n he roust ussta:,:t that e se capital to enable him to go on he could not go on, and tF,en, itself.

Sir R. PEEL pot it to the Committee, whethe'r the difficulties which had been started, on the instant, did cot prove that the chain wan open to very valid objections._. (Hear.) If the Noble Lord wished to tender the Bill ter- fed, Considering the advanced state of the session, c( n sidering the defection of some of the Members, and co• - sidering the condition of the Bill, he (Sir R. Peel) would propose to the Noble Lord an adjournment of three months in order that they might give to this important measure it fit consideration —(Cheers from the Opposition.) If it was the object of the Noble Lord to make the Bill pet feet, and it *as no imputation upon his Majesty's Govern ment that a measure of this kind was not perfect,—no. thing would more conduce to that end than to release the House, at this period of the year, from these protracted sittings, in order that his Majesty's Government might ap ply their attention to matters of importance—matters of foreign as well as of domestic policy—( Hear, hear)- 3 ,0 that the House might have an opportunity of considering the operation of the Bill, instead of urging them night after night to come to a decision.—(Hear, hear.) In his opinion, the Hon. and Learned Gentleman (the Attorney- General) had not touched the real difficulties of the case, and the objections of his Learned Friends remained unanswered.—(Hear.) The Noble Lord bad admitted I that great abuses existed in respect to freehold interests, and yet the Bill tended to introduce the same abuses in leasehold interests.—(Hear.) In the present state of the clause, it appeared to afford every opportunity to the operation of electioneering influence. He would not enter into the questions which had been mooted in anticipation until the clause to which they related came before the Com mittee. He repeated that, as it at present stood, the clause would make the abuses in respect to leasehold property as great as those which related to freeholds; and lie implored the Noble Lord not to press the Bill with such haste, but by a long adjournment to give the House an opportunity of properly considering its effect and operation.—(Cheering from the Opposition.) Lord ALTHORP said that the Committee would not expect that he should consent to the proposal of the Right Hon. Baronet.—(Hear.) He admitted the difficulty that had been suggested by the Hon. and Learned Member fin• Coekermouth (Sir James Scarlett), which must be re medied. The object of his Nlaje-ty's Ministers in framing this clause was this,—they thought that the landed te nantry of this country ought to have a power of voting in county elections. He did not think the difficulties sug gested were a reason why they should adjourn the Parlia ment for the purpose of considering an amendment which could be so soon made. —(Hear.) Mr. Serjeant WILDE observed, that the object of a great many swzgestions which had been made like that of the Right Hon. Baronet was to get rid of the Bill altoge ther.—(Hear.) The question with respect to this clause was,—first, whether a right was given to those who ought to possess it; and secondly, whether or not it was given in such a way as rendered it liable to abuse. In both these respects the Hon. and Learned Member considered the clause defensible. The alteration which had been made in this clause, from " who shall be seized of and in any lands or tenements for an estate for life," to " who shall have any lands or tenements for life," was justified on the ground that the word have was used in all former election statutes, and its meaning was sufficiently defined. It had been said that the clause was unintelligible; but he thought it free from doubt. The lion. and Learned Member read the clause, contending that there was no ambiguity. though it might go further than was intended. With respect to the abuses that had been suggested, he thought it very unlikely that persons would part with in terests, and render themselves liable to covenants or other obligations, merely to create votes. Sir• J. SCARLETT suggested the expediency of di viding the prts. , nt clause, containing three distinct sub jects, into three different enactments. Mr. HUNT said, that the mechanic who earned 21. or Si. a-week, would feel aggrieved at being deprived of the elective franchise, while property of 101. a-year might be so divided as t 4 give the right of voting to three different persons. Mr. O'CONNELL objected to the clause, as it stood at present, because it tended to create such votes as Scotch superiorities. He hoped that a franchise of value . would be adopted instead. • Lord ALTHORP did not anticipate much difference of opinion with respect to the question 'of giving the elective franchise in counties to copyholders, and he therefore pro posed to go on with the clause to night, until such part of it as related to copyholders should be disposed of. Colonel SIBTHORPE was of opinion that the House ought now to adjourn. Colonel Woon and Mr. WYNN thought that copy holderit ought to be placed on the same footing as free holders with respect to the right of voting. They sug gested that copyholders of 40s. should possess the elective franchise. The CHAIRMAN then read that part of the clause which gives the right of voting to copyhOlders posse.;sing pro perty of the value of 101. a year. Colonel WOOD thought it was time for the House to adjourn. (It was nearly one o'clock.) If the House pro ceeded with the consideration of this clause, he should move that copyholders posse-sing property of the value of 403. a year should he entitled to vote at county elections. (Cries of " Go on.") Lord ALTHORP was not favourable to the suguested amendment. He thought that the number of bond fide copvholds of less value than 101. wrs very small. Colonel WOOD thought that copyholders ought to be put on the same footing as freeholders for the purposes of this Bill. He wished to give every encouragement to the lower classes to aim at independence; and, in his opinion, no better mode could be adopted for producing that effect, than that of enabling them to exercise the elective fran chise. It was a privilege calculated to stimulate their feelings of pride, and to make them anxious to avoid any application for parochial assistance ; because, as gentlemen well knew, the vote of him who received parochial assist ance would not be received. The Noble Lord might smile ; but such he believed to be the lac, because he who received parochial assistance must have given up all his property, and could then have no right to vote. In the year 1785 Mr. Pitt wished to enfranchise the copy holders; and he did not think that at this time of day he could be censured f,r taking the same coutse. In doing this, his great object was to raise the lowest class of society from the state of degradation in which they must see that too many of them were plunged, and to give to them that interest in the welfare of the state which at the present moment they had too many reasons to believe did nut exist. If his amend ment (which was to substitute forty shillings for ten pounds) was rejected at one o'clock in the morning, whe n he had been forced to bring it forward—if the case of the forty-shilling copyholders was to be neglected—whilst that of the fifty-pound renters and sixty-ye trs leaseholders bad been discussed irregularly during the while evening, be would only say that in bringing the subject before the House he had done what he conceived to be his duty, and those who were interested would form their own opinion of the manner in which their claim had been dealt with. Lord ALTHORP opposed the amendment ; but he en tirely denied that he or his colleagues wished unjustl) to exclude forty-shilling voters. On the contrary, they were desirous of bringing the franchise 'as low as they could with propriety. After a few words from Mr. CRESSET PELHAM and Mr. TaEvort, Colonel WOOD stated that he did not wish to divide the Committee on his amendment. The amendment was then negatived, and the clause was filled up with " ten pounds." The House then resumed, the CHAIRMAN reported pro. greys, and obtained leave to sit again to-morrow. The other orders of the day were disposed of, and at a Quarter before Two o'clock the House adjourned. We arc sorry to state that the colliers in the employ of the Earl of LONSDALE, at Whitehaven, are at present off work, in consequence of an attempt to form a Union or Combination Society. We understand that in the course of the past week two delegates in the form of Banter Preachers, and occasionally acting as such, arrived here from Lancashire, to aid the men to carry their plan into effect.— Whitehavat Packet. AWFUL TERMINATION OF A CASE OF CHOLERA MORBUS.-It is our painful duty to state that the cholera morbut has appeared in this city, and thrt one case which occurred last week has exhibited a most ag gravating termination. A yourg woman residing in South-street was seized with a violent spasmodic affection, to such a degree as left no doubt in the minds of the beholders of the dreadful character of the malady medical gentleman was instantly sent for, but th e fi t st application was vain as the practitioner himself was too is to attend. A swift messenger was despatched to a second doctor, but alas! lie was absent. The imagina tion in vain attempts to describe the alarm that instantly took possession of South-street. A quarantine was laid on the house into which the pestilence had entered, in hopes that it might be kept there, and a third application for medical advice, having proved successful, the hapless patient was visited by a compett•nt judge, who pronounced her to be labouring under the cholera, and hastened to pro cure certain specifics.

PARIS, Arc. 14.—1 n the article of the Moniteur of the 13th, there was a mistake in the dates : it was on the 4th of August that the French Government ordered a de claration to be made at the Hague, that if the Dutch troops did not immediately return to the positions determined by the armistice concluded under the mediation of the great Powers, and guaranteed by them, the French army would March without delay to meet the army of King William and combat it : this declaration was made on the 7th to M. VerAulk by the Charge d'Affaires of Fiance, who had informed him that in case of a refusal he had ceders to ask for his passports. On the Bth, the Dutch Government gave to Count Polydore de Rochefoucault the assurance that it had sent orders to his Royal Highness the Prince of Orange immediately to evacuate the Belgian territory._ (From the Messayer des Chambres of Tue-day, Aug. 16.) PARIS, AUG 13.*—The Dutch have begun to evacuate the Belgian territory. We can gu trantee this news. The Journal du Commerce of the 14th gives very circumstantial details of a meeting on hoard the Arthemise frigate. " We," says the Moniteur, " are authorized to declare, that no such event has occurred either on board that ship or any other vessel in our navy." The Moniteur also corrects a mis-statement of the Courrier Francais respecting the 11th regiment of the line, which, it says, being ordered to return to Ham just as it was going to cross the frontier, the soldiers were much dissatisfied, and threatened to expel twenty-six officers as reputed Carlists, and that Marshal Gerard hav ing informed the Government, the Minister of War had directed general measures to snake an inquiry. The fact is, that there was some misunderstanding between the subalterns and a few of the officers of the 11th regiment, which induced the Minister of War, at the end of July last, to direct General Meunier to inspect the corps, who soon restored harmony. The counter-orders sent after wards not to call it back to Ham, but to keep it at Sois sons, was not caused by any gtisorders in the regiment. To suppose that French soldiers would indulge in dissen si,ns and insubordination just on taking the field, is evi dently calumniating them. (From the National of Monday.) Pants, Ana. 14.—1 n the morning of the 12th the King of Holland causal notice to be given to General Belliard that 1:e yielded to the observations made to him, and ordered his troops to cease hostilities and retire imme diately. Nothing is yet known of the conditions of this new armistice, or the result of the negociations winch have taken place at Loudon. The King of Holland seems rather to retire before our troops, which he considers as acting in the name of the conference, than to yield to the Belgians. It seems that the army of the North is to re main for the present in Belgium, as Marshal Soult an nounced from the tribune of yesterday. • This is the date in the Messager. DUTCH PAPERS. CIRCULAR. ADDRESSED TO THE MINISTERS OF THE PROTESTANT CHURCHES THROUGHOUT THE NETHERLANDS. " nislllajesty having, by au ordinance of the Ist of this month, directed the appointment of a day of general prayer, and having fixed upon Sunday, the 14th, fir this great solemnity, de6res that the eeleto-ation of our re ligious worship on the day mentioned shall be consecrated to this end. " This invitation of our venerated Monarch will, I am confilent, be received with joy. It will be dear to your hearts, animated by Christian sentiments, and filled with the love of your country, this restoration of an institution of our pious ancestors, at a time when we are compelled to un,heath the sword in defence of the honour, the rights, and that country, bought and preserved at the price of their blood. " May then, as in other days, the people of the Nether lands assemble in the temples of the Etern•ll Father ; may they approach Him with the humility becoming those who feel how absolute is the dependence of :nau—•with the contrition du e from sinners, but with the confidence supplied by a vital and sustaining faith ; so that with low liness of heart, but the reliance of too tenderly cherished children, we may implore that our King, our countly, our brave soldiers, their gallant leaders, our public and our private welfhre, be embraced by the protecting arm of Him who is the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, in wh ose name we dare to hope that our prayers will be heard. ."I"he Minister of State charged with the general di rection of the affairs of the Reformed Church, " PALLANDT DE KEPELL." (From the _Breda Courant.) The 12th of August has heaped (overladen) upon our arm y of the old Netherlands the new unfading laurels of a complete victory. On the night of the llth the town of Tirlemont was splendidly illuminated by order of the tem porary commander of that place, Alajor Buchner, of the 17th division. The purpose of this measure was, that in case of unexpected alarm or treason, every one might reach his post without contusion. The head -quarters were fixed there this morning ; and orders were given that the troops, by four o'clock, should go in search of the enemy. The Leyden Jager Corps of Students, at mid-day on the fltb, having entered Thienen (Tongres), preferred instantly to go forward, rather than pass the night in garrison, as they then would be in a better state vigorously to take a part iu the battle near at hand. An hour and a half (about five English miles) in advance of that place, it seemed requisite for the safity of the position, to commence a slight skir mishing fire, in which the Groningen Jagers joined, and this was continued until about ten in the evening, with no other toer o❑ our side than the rounding of two Leyden LL. students, by name Leeman's and Nieuwenhuis ; both, however, slightly—the srst in the arm, the latter in the heel of the left foot. As regards the Groningen Jagers, we have to lament the death of the truly brave Lieutenant- Colonel Valkenburg, who was thereby deprived of the opportunity of receiving in life his share of the fame of the following day. During the night, about twelve Leyden Jagers were brought in, too much exhausted for the mo ment to undertake any new service, and they, with their wound d co mrades, were ccnveyed to the hospital of Thienen—an establishment founded in 1625 by our good King's pecuniary assistance, and which is carried to such a degree of cleanliness as is not common, and in regard to humanity needs not yield to any establishment in any country. . _ _ I❑ these and similar occupations, with the prospect that it would be followed by a dreadful morrow, closed the night of the 11th. It was succeeded by such a beautiful morning as, since last September, has not broken upon our country. Under the music of the Netherlands bands the Nether lands troops marched out with calmness and dignity on the read to meet the enemy. At break of day they arrived in sight of him. The first and third division were exclu sively intended for the attack, whilst the second, with the Duke of Saxe Weimar at its head, made a circuit towards Medi and took the enemy in the rear. About six o'clock in the morning both Princes entered the field of battle, and the Prince of Orange was observed to show great calmness and courage, as if he were Mars himself. In the mean time, the 2d battalion of the 24 division of South Holland Guards (Rotterdammers), under command of Captain Van Daalen, had tntered Thienen (Tongres), to remain that day in garrison. The cannon resounded more and more heavily. The position of the enemy was on the so called Iron Hill, where they had twenty-two gulls, under command of General Clump, and mustered about 25,000 men. At eight in the morning an estafette (snelde) hastened precipitately into Thienen, bringing-the news that the Prince of Orange's war horse's fire legs were crushed by a cannon bail—a circumstance, however, which did not for a moment disturb the calmness of that courageous Prince, or disorder his indescribable presence of mind, to give com mands and examples of bravery. Some moments afterwards, a bluekieler (a person in a blue over-dress, like an English waggoner's frock) was made prisoner, and brought in by a marechaussee (Provost Marshal's man), who had found him hiding in a potato field on the Prince's route, possessed of a musket and three ball cartridges. This lurking assassin, lately a compositor in the office of the Caurrier des Pays Bas, wore a small silver medal on the breast—on the one side was the inscripti..n, " Aux defenseurs de la patrie," and on the other, " Vaincre ou mourir." Generally it was believed that this robh-r had killed the horse of the Prince of Orange, which was af terwards discovered not to he true; but the bandit, after an examination, was consigned to the very strictest im- prisonment. Towards mid-day the artillery, which had played the chief part (hoofdrool), became manifestly more slack, which led to the belief that a negotiation was going forward on the field of battle. This we afterwards learned was ac tually the case, and that three different attempts were made for the purpose of begging that on our side hostilities should cease. 0 you Dutch cowards, how dare you frigh ten the Belgic heroes! The names of the Commissioners (purlementaires) who were sent by Leopold, who in the mean time had cho sen the road to Mechlin, are said to be Colonel Price, Lord William Russell, and the Ambassador Adair. Al though the last, an aged man, in the most feeling words, besought, and with marks of sincere inward emotion, tried to move the Prince to friendly arrange ment, the treachery of the Belgians had anew directed the mouth of their cannon, and made a fearful charge on the centre of our army, pirticulatly where the cuirassiers were stationed, with the result that the brave Colonel Galliers, of the 9th Regiment, with his worthy son, an Adjutant. were crushed (verbryzeld) ; the first nearly cutting off the lower legs, the latter just above the foot. Towards the evening there was no longer any hope of the recovery of the Colt.nel, who had been conveyed weak and suffering from the field of battle to the house of the estimable wislow Van den Bosch, who is known to be much attached to the Orange party, and continued to insist to be allowed to receive the wounded brave. The son of the Colonel, whose life is not despaired of, is taken care of at the house of the not less generous Devaux. At last, in the afternoon, about five o'clock, was ended the uncertainty and anxious expectation which possessed every good-hearted Netherlander, by the glad tidings that the object of the battle was obtained, the capitulation of Louvai❑—on conditions. (The Breda Courrant proceeds with the terms of the capitulation. There are three principal and a supplemen tary article:- 1. The surrender of Louvain, at twelve o'clock, on the 13th. 2. The occupation of the gates anti posts by Dutch troops, on the morning of the 13th. 3: A suspension of hostilities for three days, Supplement—The brave Belgians permitted to march out bag and baggage.) AMSTFRDAm, At:G. 13.—The receipt of Batavian jour nals to the 17th of March, with the uews that the colony enjoyed profound tranquillity, and that the military force was in the best order, (two Belgians who had publicly commanded the Belgian insurrection having been placed in s,fe custody), is of the more importance, as it may be considered as a satisfactory refutation of the alarming re ports concerning Java, which were given in the English journals. A private letter from Prussia, of the .13th ins'., says, that fiir some days past there had been extraordinary move ments in the Prussian army. The German Papers do not yet mention this circumstance. The Prussian Slate Gs zate of the 1 Ith contains from the 3lonitear the notice of the advance of a French army to Belgium. BaEnx, AUG. 13.—1 t is equally impossible to de-cribe the despondency of the inhabitants of Thienen on learning our glorious conquest of Louvain, and the enthusiasm of the garrison of the former place, when the Prince of Orange and his brother, with their suite, returned to the town in the evening. The Prince of Orange, with his usual affability, cue tinually repeating " Comrades, we have remaintd masters of the head." Atter dinner orders were given to transfer the head-quarters to Louvain at eight o'clock on the morning of the 13th.

The Btlgians estimate their army that was before Louvain at thirty thousand turn. After our victorious troops entered Beeringen a tire broke out, probably in consequence of the preceding cannonade, which spread rapidly, and destroyed eight or ten houses. The who e village would have been undoubt edly reduced to ashes had not the Dutch exerted themselves with complete success t. stop the progress of the flames. The whole population was greatly affected, and especially the owners of the houses that were burnt, when they learned that the troops had subscribed two hundred florins, which, though a trifle in comparison to their loss, had the double advantage of being placed promptly and seasonably in the hands of the clergyman, who immediately distri buted it amongst the sufferers.
