cf hatred oo thelc tomb, and, amid triumphal hyroi:; brought back their glorious ashes to their native E.oi! !From Galignani's Messenger.) The Moniteur contains art article explanatory of the line of conduct pursued by Government wit', respect to Belgium. It declares that the only ob je ct in sending the troops to that country was to fulfil the generous engagements into which Frarce in common_ with other Powers, had entered, to gua rantee the national neutrality and independence. The success of the proceeding depended on its ra pidity, awl all Europe has done justice to the good faith of France in the transaction. The indepen dence of Belgium having been a second time saved by France, it became necessary to guarantee it, for which purpose the great Powers applied themselv, s to the establishment of an armistice, which would give the two countries time to settle their diffe rences. A part of the French troops remained to protect those precautions, which there is every rea son to hope will be attended with success. After this second result had been obtained, France had only to keep herselfprepared to check any further attempts of a similar nature, although the state of the nego ciation renders their recurrence improbable. For this purpose the French standards, although floatin g within the frontiers of France, will be so near that Holland cannot lose sight of them, and on the slightest aggression of the enemies of Belgium, the French army will re-enter the territory. The con tinuance of the French troops in Belgium bad no connection with the question relative to the demo• lition of the frontier fortresses; on that point France requires no guarantee, because, aware of her 0%%n strength and dignity, she is under no apprehension, of any engagement made with her not being fulls and honourably carried into effect. If, then, after observing that all that has passed serves to confirm and strengthen the good understanding existing between the various Governments, as it is evident when public affairs are not viewed through the de ceptive prism of those Journals which, both in France and elsewhere, throw a false light on every question, concludes by declaring that all the objects contemplated by the expedition had been attained ; the prolonged stay of the troops in Belgium at once strengthened the bonds of union between tha• country and France, and proved in the most signal manner the confidence of all the Cabincs in the good faith of Franc•., while their recall before expiration of the armistice affords additional proof of the reality of that good faith, and removes ever pretence for attempting to disturb the peace anti harmony of the great European States. The following are the names of the Generals am other auperier officers named by the King, upot the recommendation of the Minister of War, to pro ceed to Belg'in, to act in the organization of an Belgian army ; they will be in the pay of the Bel elan Government, but will continue to wear thr French uniform and cockade, and retain their rant, in their own army : Lieut.-Generals Count Grundle. and Baron BiHard, for the infantry; Lieut.-General Baron Picquet, for the cavalry ; Lieut.-Genera Desprez, for the Staff; Lieut.-General Baron Esttin for the artillery ; Major-General the Chevalici Nempde, for the engin•Tts; Colonels Dillon an(! Chatry Lefoni ; Lieut.-Colonels Devaux, Saint Paer, and Schwenbourg ; and the Chefs de Batfail lon and d'E , .catiron de Luchapt, d'Ast, de l'Es parada, Noel, Bisiaux, and many others, are placed under the orders of the above-mentioned General Officers. _ _ _ IThe Augsburg Gazette gives the following ex tract ol a letter from Dresden, dated the 2d inst.: " The ',4tates have closed their session. Yesterday a committee was appointed to make some slight al terations in the electoral law. The new Constite. tion is in active progress. It will be confirmed b) the King on the :14b, and this great event will he celebrated by a general illumination, and other pdh lie rejoicings. The Government is striking a medal to perpetuate the day." A letter from Frankfort cf the 9th inst. says— " We have received positive information that the Elector of Ilesse has at length yielded to the pres sing entreaties of his subjects, and promised to r.- turn to his residence at Cassel. It is generally be lieved that this reluctant assent is the result of alarm, lest a Regency should be proclaimed according te the right granted by the new Constitution, and which would in effect amount to a deposition. It is of course needless to say that the Countess of Reichenbach.Lessonitz will not accompany the Elector." Le Messager des Chambres remarks that the Chamber of Peers, by its negli2ence of its legi,- 14t:ve duties, on the eve of so important a discus sion as that about to commence, is doing itself an incalculable Nifty. Scarcely seventy of the whole Dumber of Members are exact in their attendance. A private letter from Vienna, dated the 3d inst., confirms accounts we had previously received, of the almost entire cessation of the disturbances in Hun gary. It adds, that no adequate idea can be formed of the cruelties committed by the peasantry on the Nobles. The idea had been generally enter tained, that the rivers and fountains had been poisoned by the Gove rnment and the Nobles, in order to get rid of the superabundant population ; which was strongly confirmed by the fact of a botth of el:forlorn having been found in most of the houses which the insurgents searched. This liquid, which bad been pro...ided as a security against infec tion, WIL3, from its powerful odour and pungent taste, taken by the ignorant peasantry for the poison it:- tended for them, and in many cases, after all the members of a noble family had been massacred, the servants were put to the torture, to make them as sert cot oath that they had been employed by their masters to poison the waters. In some districts the nobles arc totally annihilated :- neither old men, women, or children have been spared. A magistrate was compelled to dig his own grave, in which he was to have been buried alive, but was saved by the op portune arrival of a detatchment of soldiers. The Countess de Szapary was assassinated in the most horrible manner, and the savages actually embowelled alive a young l:tdy not more than fifteen years of age. Even foreigners on a visit to the chateaux did not escape the general doom. When the insurgents succeeded in compelling a detachment of soldiers to lay do stn their arms, they spared the privates, as be longing to their own class, but massacred the officers without toerey. (From the: Messager des Chambres, of Thermlay.) PARIS, SEPT. 14.—The reported retreat of a di vision of the Russian troops to the Austrian terri tory begins to be explained, although it is not con firmed in a satisfactory manner. The Cracow Courier speaks of a sortie of the garrison of Zamosc, which was executed with great vigour against the corps of the besiegers, commanded by Gen. Kaisaroff, who is said to have lost all his artillery, and was forced to take refuge in Gallicia with the remains of his troops. Thus the first reports attributed to the corps of Rudiger an event which occurred to that Kaisaroff. The Cracow Paper again speaks of a letter from Lemberg, which a second time announces the disarming of the Russians upon the Austrian territory. We learn through the same channel of Lemberg, that the Russians are in great alarm lest the Polish army should pass the right bank of the Vistula, by the bridge of Praga, to crush the corps of General Rosen. This General attempted, on the 2lst of August, to burn the bridge of Praga, and to attack the intrenchments of that faubourg, but he failed in doing so, and was repulsed as far as Milosna. Not believing himself in sufficient force, should the Po lish army attempt a sortie, Rosen sent to Marshal Paskewitsch for reinforcements. The latter was forced to suspe nd his operations against W a rsaw, and to throw a bridge over the Vistula at three or four leagues above that town, in order for th e pas sage of a division which was to join the troops of Rosen. This check experienced by Marshal Pa , .kovitsch explains his inactivity for the space of ueaily days. It is added, i hat the corps of Rosen, n spite of the reinforcement which he received, is not suf ficiently strong to resist a sortie, which the Poles might effect with 30,000 or 40,000 men upon the fight batik, without however forcing the latter to leave Warsaw at the mercy of Paskewitsrli camped upon the left bank. The Rns,ian Cabinet appears to imagine that it is the intention of the Polish army, should it be no longer able to sustain itself in the capital, to force a passage in Volhynia, by the route of Lublin and Zamosc, hoping afterwards to reach Moldavia, if it cannot maintain its position in Volhynia. With this apprehension, the Government is assembling a new carps d'arinee at Dubuc) (Volhynia), under the orders of Field-Marshal Sacken. It is certain, that in spite of the accounts which have emanated from the Russian head-quarters, Warsaw is well provisioned, and is provided with munitions of war; that the army is in the best con dition, and that the ardour of the soldiers has in creased rather than diminished. The bridge of S!yuo, which the Russians de stroyed in their retreat, is situated upon the extremity of Prussian Poland. It is not thought that tl:e Poles have reached so far, nor that the movement of the Russians is a positively retrograde one, but it was believed at Thorn, according to the last ac counts from that place, that the troops of General Brenta bad suffi!red a check in attempting to pass the Vistula, in order to unite with the Marshal on the right bank. We believe that the Government of Paris has not received any direct ne,s from the theatre of war, and though the information we possess is certainly not precise, it is satisfactory, as it proves that the Poles are in a condition to prolong the struggle, at least till the winter. (From the Moniteur of Wednesday.) For some days past passions and calculations have been seeking new chances of trouble in the Belgic question. There are persons who already flatter themselves that in the importance of the interests which attach to this question, they will find subjects of We hasten to dissipate their regrets, or rather their hopes. The affairs are as they were; the deeds correspond We h their words ; France 4e dared nothing that she does not execute; she does nothing that she did not announce. The mission which France imposed on herself in Belgium, in the te.me of the Powers in accord with her, for causing the neutrality and independence of that kingdom to be respected, had no other object than the fulfilling on her part, and for the common object, those general engagements. Her vicinity, the disposable state of her forces, her sympathies, 'lie appeal from King Leopold to Louis-Philippe,— finally, a conscientious sense of her intentions— were all circumstances which called upon her to act immediately, and without hesitation, because in what was done there was no afterthought. 'I he success of the measure depended upon its rapidity Accordingly, being recognized as a frank and honest transaction, homage WAS paid to it every where—in France, in Belgium, throughout Europe. The Dutch tell back on their territory, and Belgic independence was a second time saved by our Government. This first result obtained, it was necessary to se cute it, and to this object the Powers applied them -elves in establishing between Holland and Belgium in armistice, which gives the two countries time to settle definitively the differences that have arisen be •we,en them, The prolonging of the stay of a part , f the French troops protected those precautions from which we are entitled to hope for success. After this second result, it only remains for Franc:- to be Fepared to prevent attempts such as those ,vhich she has already repressed, and the repetition of which the negociations opened under the auspices of Europe do not permit us to foresee. Our stan dards, waving within our frontiers, will still be near enough for Holland not to lose sight of them, and for making any aggression if the Dutch replace the Belgic territory under their protection. The French army will return on the first hostilities of the ene mies of Belgium. France will not compromise the honour of this mission. She will not tarnish her benefit. It ha; been wished to represent her interest in securing the demolition of the fortresses, as the cause of the prolonged and obligatory stay of her troops. France does not need, on this subject, to take securities against any one. She knows that none can, and none wish to break promises made to her. She Joes not distrust others, because she does not dis- trust herself. The fortresses in question will he de molished, as the speech from the throne has pro mised, and as King Leopold has declared. This question did not enter into the object of our expe- It was a point settled before we entered Belgium. It will ben thing done after our departure. Far from seeking in what has passed an el e men r of misunderstanding, —any symptom of want of confidence among the Governments united by an equal interest, there ought to be discovered therein the confirmation of the words which France pro nounced at firs►, when she declared that this expe dition would be a new guaranty, an immense gun• ranty of peace. This is seen, when public affairs Ire - not viewed through the deceiving prism of some Journals, which, either among ourselves or else where, cast a false light on all questions. Accus tomed as we are to that prism in France, we may be allowed not to manifest great sensibility with re gard to foreign Journals; for every thing well ecn sidcred, if we were, on the one part or the other, to be disquieted by the language of Gazettes, as suredly France would have less umbrage to take than site gives. Happily, the Cabinets are not dis posed to study respectively their policy in those fleeting Journals. Their combinations are more e!evated—their relations more frank. In fine, the result of the French expedition has been all that the King and country ought to have ex pected from it. The independence of Belgium has been re-established—a necessary armistice has been concluded—favourable negociations are opened, and France is in a situnion always closely to watch over the maintenance of these results. The pro longed stay of our soldiers, in contributing to draw closer the ties which unite the French and the Bel gians, has proved in the most striking manner the confidence of all the Cabinets in the good faith of Prance ; and that good faith will be still farther ma nifested by the return of the troops befwe the ex piration of the armistice, so as to deprive of all pretext those passions which would found on pre sumed complicAtions the hope cf troubling the ge neral peace of Europe. THE LATE MURDER NEAR ROCHESTER.— The following particulars respecting this atrocious crime have been collected by a professional gentleman, who had occasion to visit Rochester and Chatham last week, and who happened to know TAYLOR, the father of the cruelly assassinated boy, some years ago, when he kept a re spectede chandler's shop, before be sank into his present state of poverty. The lad himself was of superior address, and remarkably mild and pleasing in his manners, much liked by all who knew him. His suurderers, the BELLS, on the other hand, were notorious bad characters, and had been turned out flow the school of a clergyman for their incorrigibly vile conduct. Mrs. BELL inflicted a most un merciful castigation on her younger son for bettaying the guilt of his eldest brother, as soon he came within her teach. Finding himself now safe from the punishment of the lad s, this youthful assassin has since disclosed the most revolting features of the whole transaction, which is not generally known, though forming the blackest pat of the whole, and constituting the younger Bum. the greatest cffender of the two, though he saved himself by turning King's evidence against his own brother, and receives a premium for his crimes by exhibiting himself at fairs, the demoralizing effects of which course is too obvious to re quire any comment. He admits now, that the day after the robbery and attack on young TAYLOR, both be and his brother returned to that part of the wood where they had on the preceding day left their victim for dead, as they supposed ; but that, to their great astonishment, they (*flood Lim still alive anti breathing, though unable to arti culate, or to crawl away. 11e gave them, however, a ghastly 10,,k of recognition ; on which the youn g BELL observed to his brother, Why, he lives : leius give it to him ; let us finish him." But the elder brother be held young TAYL,R. with compunction anti remorse, tiering, at the dreadful specta c l e b e f ore hi m, and,' ete!' pent in the foul deed, be replied—' No ; h e cannot lastlocr g ; it ' will soon be over with him !" and they both went away,u leaving the mangled and bleeding sufferer to expire in slow; and protracted agony. I.IIERATUR EPISTLES TO A FRIEND IN TOWN, AND OTHER POEMS. By CHANDOS LEIGH, Esq. NEW EDITION, WITH ADDITIONS. SHALE SVO. We are glad to see a new edition of this volume of Poems, and still more glad to find, by the additional verses, now for the first time published, that the author, instead of abusing the influence given to him by wealth and birth, either in addicting himself to the dissipations often indulged in by the rich, or in helping to hinder the political and social improvements of the age, continues to cultivate his literary taste, and in his writings, from time to time, to prove himself a true Whig and Reformer. The Poems of Mr. Leigh are marked by great variety of style and subject, though it is plain to see that, like Rogers, he admires the school of Pope rather than that which has succeeded and for a time supplanted it. The " Epistles to a Friend in Town" are written, we should suppose, in a purposed imitation of the Epistles of Pope, touching in an epigrammatic manner on many themes, and throwing over all some portion of the stores of an accomplished mind. From these Poems we shall take leave to extract a few pas sages, confirmatory (so at least we think) of what we have said, and exhibiting their author in the light of a man of reflection, of taste, and of sound principles in politics and morals. The following is the opening to the third Epistle : "The golden morn of youth is gone, and man Reaches his noon of life without a plan : As snow falls softly on the mountain's height, Time passes by : 'tis scarcely eve, 'tis night : Though whispers oft the still small voice within, To waste, or misapply thy time, is sin. Yet it is pleasant here to gaze away In sweet forgetfulness of cares the day, The long long summer's day ; while flowers exhale Their fragrance borne along the western gale That o'er our Avon's bosom gently breathes, Till in the sun her "crisped smiles" she wreathes ; Or glory in that sun, till thought elate Would o'er the horison round its orb dilate; Or trace resemblance to that monarch proud Of Alps, Mont Blanc, in some high towering cloud; Or wander lonely through the solemn grove With every feeling hush'd, save that of love, Love of a Being who is evermore All that a grateful spirit must adore ! As clouds along the stream in varied hues Their lovely shadows rapidly diflbse ; So o'er life's current changeful Fancy glides, In shapes swift-flitting o'er the restless tides. All the fine plans thy subtle mind bath spun Melt into air, like mists before the sun; Yet why regret: substantial systems wrought By heads of statesmen crumble into nought. The wings of time, through oft repeated shocks, Beat down opinions strong as granite rocks ; Senates have sanction'd schemes they now deride; How mortifying this to human pride!" And here is a passage in the proper vein— " But Freedom here can show a nobler prize Than loveliest nymph, if Claudius will be wise; Fortune and birth, be he but blest with sense, Will give him more than labolied eloquence ! What though deficient he in Grattan's fire, Canning's fine irony, Grey's nobler ire, Let him but heed the people's genuine voice, Their boundless love will make his heart rejoice. Soon will he thank his God that gratitude Can warm a peasant's heart however rude!" We must conclude with the following noble tribute to the memory of the late Mr. Canning : " Scarce on his self-raised eminence appear'd Publius; the harass'd sons of freedom cheet 'd. To him, as to the pillar'd fire that burn'd At night before the Israelites, they turn'd. Struggling 'gamst tyranny's recurring wave They heard his voice, all-powerful to save; (A voice that fulmining o'er Europe shamed Power from attempting schemes that cunning framed,) With energy renew'd then upwards sprung, And firmly to their rock of safety clung. As falls the mighty column in its pride, Publius had reach'd ambition's height, and died. Perish'd a statesman as erect and great, As from its watch-tower e'er o'erlook'd the state." There is reason here, as well as rhyme, strength as well as elegance, the fancy of the poet blended with the judgment of the man. We wish the generality of our modern bardlings would write in this style, instead of taking " Ercles' vein" as a passport to notoriety. Poetry then would not be in the state in which it now is—a mere bye-word for cant, bombast, and frivolity. We take leave of Mr. Chandos Leigh with feelings of respect and admiration, and not without the hope that we shall shortly see him again in print. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.)

The most unwelcome news for some time past is an nounced this morning, the capitulation of Warsaw, after two days' fighting in its environs, with the storming of the Polish entrenchments by the Russians. The fate of the brave, but unfortunate Poles, is in general deplored throughout the city ; some faint hopes are expected from the Polish army, who have made good their retreat to wards Plock ; no doubt the Emperor of Russia will grant them favourable terms, which they must accept as their grand point d'appui. Warsaw is lost, we must now look to Paris and to the French nation : how they will receive this sad catastrophe, and the effect it will have on the Ministers of the King of the French, will, no doubt, cause a great agitation throughout France; but it is too late—the die is cast. In the Stock Exchange they do not give implicit credit to the fall of Warsaw, we wish it was in our power to contradict it. Up to the present time it has not had much effect on the Funds. LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 17, 1831. From one end to the other, the country is in motion. County—city—town—and village, are all busy in forming themselves into committees and associations, for the purpose of expressing, for the last time, their fixed, invincible deter mination to wrest Reform from the borough mongers. The more the Parson Magistrates and Tory Lord Lieutenants oppose this spirit, the more eagerly bent are the people on ma nifesting it. The conflagration spreads the wider and burns the fiercer, in proportion to the pains taken to smother it. Before the end of next week, thousands and tens of thousands, and hundreds of thousands of Reformers, intent on one object, inspired to a man with one soul; high mettled, but temperate ; steady, serious, but un alterably resolute ; will have met, and publicly recorded their sentiments on the subject of the Bill. ‘Vill the Lords be deaf to the thunder of this appeal ? Will they laugh to scorn the voice, pregnant with awful meaning, which swells up from the north and south, the east and the west ? Will they term that the mere murmuring of the summer wind, which is the sound of the boding hur ricane ? Surely not. Instinct, if not reason, will teach them better. Their keen sense of interest will help them to a right decision. They will think of their sumptuous palaces, their well-preserved parks, their fat farm-steads, their carriages, their horses, their wines, their Almacks, their Crockfords, their Newmarkets ; and, thinking of these, they will say, Shall we put them all in jeopardy by the mere ex pression of a monosyllable—by saying No, when we should say Yes ?" These consi• derations alone will, we are persuaded, in duce the Peers to swallow the unpalatable dose of the Reform Bill ; and provided they do so, they may make what wry faces they please : we will not quarrel with them about that. No man objects to another that he looks ugly while he is taking physic. It is a matter of course. But notwithstanding the probability that the Lords will pass the Bill, the people must not for an instant relax in their exertions. They must keep on duty to the last moment. The enemy, we can assure them, is night and day at his post. He is Argus-eyed and hundred handed, a Nestor in experience, a Ulysses in subtlety. Even now he is at work in Dorset shire, striving heart and soul, by lies, bribery, and every species of paltry huckstering, to pro cure the return of his darling representative, Old BANKES. Old BANKES, M.P. for Dorset shire ! No, no, this must never be. Free holders, were such a disgrace ever again to attach to your county, we know not the man among you, who would be able to show his face in society. You would be repudiated as Englishmen—h e branded as apostates to the remotest posterity. You arc all to a man, irrevocably linked with the great cause of Reform ; you stand out in the forehead of the age ; are proudly conspicuous in t h e front of the battle ; Hold aloft the sacred banner of the Constitution ; and if you now desert your colours, or betray your cause ; if you even show the slightest symptoms of doubt vacillation, or timidity—the curses of your indig nant countrymen will stick to you like burrs, sting you, like serpents, to the death. Do you need assistance ? You will have it. Subscription Committees are, for this purpose, afloat in the metropolis, and the example will bta nit doubt, fullowml promptly throughout the country. indeed, no sacrifice must be con sidered too great, that has the efFect of pro longing old BA N K ES'S retirement. Poor old gentleman, what deadly crime has he committed that the Ultras should be thus malignantly bent on drawing him from the bosom of domestic felicity ? Can they not allow him, if only for the honour of literature, to con tinue his Constitutional history of Rome un interrupted ? Can they not permit him still to enjoy the deep, the refreshing slumbers that his readers have so often experienced over that immortal publication ? But the Ultras have ma nifestly no bowels, and it is your duty, freeholders of Dorsetsh;re, to set them an example of benevo • lence. It is your duty to respect the grey hairs of old BANKEs, and not subject his honoured age to the cares and anxieties attendant on protracted sittings in the House of Commons. Take pity on his years, and continue him still in the se questered retirement of Cone Castle. Mr. HUNT'S motion for the total repeal of the Corn Laws was as unreasonable as the ge neral tenor of that Honourable Member's speech. To say nothing of the mid-adroitness—not to call it bad faith—of bringing forward, to the in terruption of the Reform Bill, and before a House wholly indisposed to entertain the ques tion at the moment, a proposition of such a nature ; the motion is in itself not such as is at all likely to command the assent either of the House or of the public. For although the Corn Laws must, before long, be considerably modi 7 fied, the country being generally indignant at the monopoly they tend to uphold, and although the system of averages be admitted to be infinitely inferior in practical advantage to a system of fixed duties, yet no possible reason can he as signed why corn, unlike other commodities, ought to be imported duty free. The exigencies of the Treasury are such, that a main article of consumption, like corn, cannot fairly be excused from contribution to the public service, provided a reasonable rate of duty be imposed for the sake of revenue, and for its sake only. A duty having the object of protection we hold to be unjustifiable, but a fixed imposition, say of five shillings per quarter, for the purposes of revenue, appears not open to objection on any intelligible principle. The people of Bolton, according to Mr. HUNT'S account, have announced the support of the total repeal of the Corn Laws to be one of the pledges they would require from their future Members—the others being, to vote for an equitable adjustment of the National Debt— the bringing of justice to every man's door—the abolition of all places, pensions, and monopolies —the repeal of all taxes oppressing the middle and lower classes—and the repeal of the Law of Primogeniture. This is tolerably thorough going indeed, and is certainly remarkable as a proof of the temper of a considerable portion of the population. But it is not so easy to criti cise vague expressions, such as the equitable adjustment of the debt, which is a phrase capa ble of so many explanations, or the repeal of all taxes oppressing the middle and lower classes, which is, we suppose, intended to mean that there ought not to be any taxes at all. The people have unfortunately so indistinct notions of the mode in which Government is carried on, that they are open to all kinds of absurd ideas with which demagogues can fill their minds, whereas, when a sensible man, like Mr. HUME, attempts to point out their errors; he is either reproached for insincerity, or sneered at as a political economist. Reforms will come in due time to all abuse e, but it is obvious that it is not the way to expedite them, to frustrate that most important Reform of all, which is now at so perilous a crisis. Mr. HUNT is liable to just imputations of insincerity for the perverse line of conduct he has adopted throughout the progress of the measure. Be it from hypocrisy, or ignorance, or whatsoever other cause, the people it is to be hoped have by this time appreciated duly this gentleman's behaviour, and will visit him with the contempt he deserves. The Member for Preston is an instance of the want of knowledge among the people, for no electors of ordinary discernment could choose such an ignoramus knowingly for their represen tative. However, the mischief such a Member is able to do is but little, for his errors and absurdities are constantly exposed by those wh o are able and willing to state the truth. So it will be in a reformed Parliament. There will be many in such an assembly ill-versed in poli tical science, but there will still be plenty of wiser men to set them to rights, and the truth in the end will be sure to prevail. Parliament is like the Press, which, though ever liable to error, ought not on that account to be deprived of that freedom in its essence, without which it becomes a stagnant pool of corruption, instead of a fountain of living water. In an article in the Moniteur of Wednesday, which will be seen in another column, our readers will find an eloquent and temperate ex position of the conduct and motives of France with regard to the occupation of Belgium, and the intended demolition of the fortresses. The Alkemeine Zeitung gives some striking and singular details respecting the late insurrec tion in Hungary of the peasants against the nobles, on suspicion entertained by the former that they were to be poisoned by the latter. The details are well worthy the reader's notice, who will probably exclaim on reading them, " What sort of a Government must that be which can cause the people to entertain such horrid notions !" . . FROM THE FRONTIERS OF HUNG RY, SEPT. I.—The dreadful scenes in some counties of Hungary are now put an end to by the interference of the military, and those guilty of them receive the punishment of their crimes. Yet great as is the guilt of these individuals, and great as their punishment may necessarily be, they are to be pitied, as having been deluded, though by their own fault. The suspicion that the cholera was c 'used by the poisoning of the wells was universal amongst the peasantryof the coun ties of Zips and Zemplin, and every one was fully con vinced of its truth. The first occasion arose in Kluknow, where it is said some peasants died in consequence of tak ing the preservatives, whether by an immediate use of me dicine, or whether they thought they were to take chlo gflll PRINTED AND PUBLISHED BY MURDO YOUNG, , SUN OFFICII, 112, STRAND, LONDOY.

As several P a p ers are d a il y returned to The Sun Office, from the General Post-ottice, in consequence of the Subscribers' ad dresses not being correctly written by the Newsmen, it is parti cularly requeste,t that Newsmen may in future print or write their own address on the covers, in order the more readily to faci litate the regular transmission Mille Papers. It frequently hap pens that owing to this omission, Subscribers when changing their places of residence, have occasion to write to The huts Office on the subject, forgetting that the names of their News Agents are far more likely to be known to themselves than at the Office. The error seems to originate in the idea that London Newspapers are supplied from the Office direct, in the same way as Provincial Papers. This i s no t th e case.
