S' t 4 ccO Is. S' L critb The LORD CHANCELLOR sat in Westminster at half past one o'clock. Sir El/WARD SUGDEN reminded his Lordship that this was the day on which Mr. Farquharson was to be com mitted to the Fleet Prison, for contempt in the reports he had made to the Times newspaper respecting the Duke of York's affairs. Mr. Farquharson had made an affidavit, in which he express-d himself determined not to disclose the name of the party from whom he had received his in formation. In that affidavit he stated that it was not from Mr. Amory, Mr. Cole, Mr. A'Beekett, or any other professional gentleman, but an intimate acquaintance of his own, and who be had now learnt was not a member of the Committee of the Duke's creditors, as he had formerly supposed, and stated he was. The learned Counsel contended that he was entitled now to have the order of committal, as his clients were not at all satisfied with any thing further that the reporter had stated. Mr. WIGRAM was about to follow on the same side, but his Lordship refused to hear more than one on a side. The ArTIMNEY-GENERAL opposed the i.suing of the order to commit Mr. Farquharson had given all the ex planation in his power, and if he were even now to name the person from whom he received his information, it would be impossible for the Court to commit that indivi dual. He hoped the Court would not be misled by any misrepresentations, but would, at any rate, take further time to look into the whole of the proceedings of the autho rities, and to consider them before it proceeded to commit. The LORD CHANCELLOR observed that his judgment had already been pronounced, that the reporter should be com mitted this day unless he made a satisfactory disclosure; and it was only in mercy to him that the time had been given, from the pronouncing of that judgment to the pre sent hour, to have made the disclosure in, because, notwith standing that the party who might have communicated the circumstances to him might be more guilty than he, and the Court might lay hold of him and release the reporter, yet still, in the eve of the law, the reporter was guilty, as the party who had sent forth the publication to the world. Mr. BETHELL submitted that he had a right to be heard with the Attorney-General in arrest of judgment, accord ing to his Lordship's previous permission, Mr. Farquhar son, as it were, having been now called up for judgment. . _ The LORD CHANCELLOR said he would hear the Learned Counsel. Mr. BETHELL then contended that the Court ought not to commit—that the thumb-screws were not now to be used for the purpose of extorting information from the re porter which, upon principle, he could not give, and when, in point of fact, the reporter was not the party offending. '1 he LORD CHANCELLOR said there was no applying of the thumb-screws in the present case, the proceeding was in penam—a punishment for what had been done, in order to deter others from so doing. Mr. BLTHELL argued that the reporter sold the infor mation he communicated to the editor of the newspaper— that it was left to the editor to publish it or not, and to publish it entire or mutilated, just as he pleased, and in which he acquired (by his purchase) and retained the entire right and property ; chat, therefore, he was not the party to be punished for the publication, and, consequently, he hoped his Lordship would pause before be pronounced an order which any Judge must ,feel a reluctance in pronouncing. The LORD CHANCELLOR lamented that he had been pressed to make the order, and that he felt bound to pro nounce it. He was glad that the affidavit the reporter htil now made entirely exculpated some moat respectable professional gentlemen frorn suspicions that had been thrown upon them, but the disclosure was not sufficient to exempt Mr. Farquharson from punishment. The order was, that Mr. Farquharson should now stand committed ; and the order was with costs, as between party and party. Ap plication might be made for the prisoner's release. Mr. BETHELL hoped the other side would be put under terms to accept of short ❑otice of any application it might be thought proper to make on behalf of the prisoner. The LORD CHANCELLOR observed that they would no doubt consent to accept of short notice. Certainly short notice. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. LONDON MARKETS. (From the " London New Price Current" of yesterday.) SUGAR. —The demand for Muscovades continues very limited. The total purchases for the week are estimated at only 2,300 hhds. and trs., and the prices are again 6d. lower. There is more disposition to do business in Sugars this afternoon ; the Market has a firmer appearance. The Habadoes at public s de, 141 hhds., sold at full prices. There is rather more firmness in the Refined trade, owing to the proposed reduction on the bounty in France, and the reports of the Hamburg Market being more favour able. There is still a great dulness in the Refined Market this afternoon, notwithstanding there are some inquiries for low Lumps, and in which a few sales have been ef fected at the quoted prices, and also in Crashed entith•d to the double refined bounty, several small parcels of which have been sold at the quotations; in the Grocery descrip tions there is very little doing. The stock of Refined Goods of every descriprion is at present very small. EAST INDIA SUGAR.—There are no transactions in Bengal Sugar, on account of the approaching East India House sale. The demand for Siam and the other East India descriptions has sut:sided. MAURITIUS SUGAR. —Previous to this day's sale 7,696 bus Mauritius had been brought forward to public sale ; the whole went off heavily at a reduction of one shilling per Mt. FOREIGN SUGAR.—There were no sales of Foreign Sugar by private contract. At public sale this week, 1,129 boxes washed Havannah were brought forward— low to mid. white sold Is. lower, 245. 6(1. a 275. 6d. ; the inferior qualities sold higher in proportion than the finer. Forty hhds. 25 barrels Para Muscovades, low brown to good yellow greyish, 20s. a 225., all bought in, but afterwards disposed of rather under the withdrawing prices ; very low quality in barrels 18s. At the public sales this forenoon 3,190 bags Mauritius sold at the re duction we have stated. The Market is still heavy at 48s. 6d. a 565. COFFEE.-The public sale of above 2,000 bags Sumatra went off with more spirit than had been anticipated ; the late prices were maintained, ordinary to good ordinary 49v. 6d. a 525. 6d.; a parcel of ordinary Havannah has been t iken at 525. The ordinal y descriptions of Jamaica are lower and very heavy; the good qualties fully support the late prices. Berbice &flee is without alteration. This day's public sales consisted of 109 casks 172 bags Berbice, which went off heavily about former prices, and about one-half sold ; very ordinary Sumatra 465. 6d. a 475. ; nine bales Mocha; the whole affording no criterion of the state of the Market. RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.-The Rum Market is little varied ; the purchases of the lower descriptions of Jamaica have been rather extensive, Jamaica 15 and 16 over at 2s. 3d. a 2s. 4d., and common quality, Demerara about 30 over 2s. Bd. a 2s. 9d ; Jamaica of the same strength 2s. 10d. Brandy is more firm, but the sales are not extensive. Pale Geneva is offered at about 3s. TALLOW.-The Tallow Market has been very firm, and the prices rather higher. SALTPETRE.-Saltpetre has fallen 3s. per cwt. ; the best quality may now be quoted 335. a 31s.

Bray, coach.maker, Theobald's-road Stovell and Co., upholsterers, Lower Grosvenor-street 2 11 DIVIDEND. J. Brown, wine-merchant at 10 VIENNA, DEC. 27.—A pamphlet printed elsewhere, " On Reform in Hungary," was for a short time spoken of here. We pity the ill-informed if they can for a moment be induced by such misrepresentations to believe that injustice is in any way done to Hungary. Ilow willingly would the EMPEROR. remedy the most crying abuses, and the arbitrary abuses of the Magnates, or introduce a more humane system with respect to the slavery of the peasantry (for even vassalage is too mild a term for this state of things), but his hands are tied. The Chambers of the Magnates and of the free cities vie with each other in the strict assertion of their privileges. No thing can be more absurd than the complaint of high duties on merchandise entering the hereditary states. The Hungarians have no land-tax, nor any direct taxes whatever. What can be ree.ne . e aeeaeble thaa that tbrir productions should pay a higher duty, to make up in some measure the difference between Hungary and the other parts of the monarchy, where land-tax and other taxes are so heavy? The concession of a national army, to be commanded by Hungarian officers only, would be highly dangerous in these times. At present the p ro motion of the officers goes through all the divisions of the Aus trian army, without any distinction of provinces; but the Hun garian regiments themselves are unmixed—all, to the lowest rank, are national Hungarians. There is at Vi enna a distinct Hungarian noble guard, and a separate Chancery, at which the Chancellor is always a Hun garian. How many Hungarian Generals and Statesmen of the highest reputation 7... e there in the empire? GEOLOGICAL COURSE OF CHOLERA.—M. BOUBEE has made some researches into the geology of the countries through which the cholera has passed, from which lie remarks, that this epidemic has spread most speedily, and with its greatest intensity, through those districts where the tertiary and alluvial earths are most extensive, whilst it appears to have been propagated with great difficulty, to have lost its intensity, and even to have been extinguished in those parts where the older and par ticularly the primordial formations predominate. This coincidence of the course of the cholera with particular geological districts, agrees with the observation pretty well established, that the circumstances of humidity and evaporatio favour the development of this disease. In fact, the tertiary and alluvial earths have, to a remarkable degree, the property of imbibing water, which being again yielded by a prolonged evaporation, produces a humidity of the atmosphere entirely dependent on the nature of the soil. The older formations, on the contrary, compose or dinarily compact rocks, which being impermeable, can neither absorb moisture nor present it to the atmosphere by evaporation. Sometimes the old formations and vol canic depositions present rocks tbat are friable, or decom posed, in particular places, in which cases they will re semble the more recent ones in absorbing and affording moisture, and this circumstance may explain some of the exceptions to the general rule of the cholera adhering to its progress to the modern formations.--Liverpoel cal Gazette. MANUFACTURE OF LACE —Some of the news papers, of the 19th November, having made various statements as to a conversation which took placl between the LORD MAYOR and Mr. Edenborough, Milk-street, on the subject of the trade, we think if necessary, for the information of the public, as well as an act of justice towards Mr. Edenborough, to give a correct version of what took place on the subject. Mr. Edenborough, who had been robbed of a parcel of lace, stated that the goods stolen were of the present value of 1501. The LORD MAYOR hav ing observed that the robbery was a large one, Mr. Edenborough said that it would have been consi dered so ten or fifteen years ago, at which period the same goods would have been worth 1,0001. The LORD MAYOR asked what could have caused so large a depreciation ?—Mr. Edenborough stated that it arose principally from the extraordinary and continued improvements in lace machinery, to which steam-power was now very much applied ; a cir cumstance by which the price of manual labour was greatly reduced, and many persons were thrown out of employment who formerly could earn from 30s. to 50s. per week—live in comfort, and bring up their families respectably—but were now reduced to the workhouse. In conse quence of these extraordinary and continued im provements in machinery the lace-machines used in 1817, and which would then have cost 5,0001., were not worth 5001. now. This statement applied to the plain lace, or nett—i. e. before it was worked or embroidered by females—and the reduction of price in their wages also, during the same period, had been 50 to 75 per cent., thereby scarcely af fording at the present time a subsistence to many thousands of industrious and ingenious females, workers of that beautiful article, who formerly could earn from 104. to 15s. per week. The cause of the latter depreciation, Mr. Edenborough observed, was attributable to the very large introduction of lace and other light fabrics from France, which inter fered with, and very often superseded, the use of our own manufacture., particularly that of British lace. The LORD MAYOR believed that pauperism was wofully increased by the improvements in ma chinery. If Government continue the ruinous sys tem of free trade, they ought, at least, to adopt tha old plan of marking all goods imported. It would greatly decrease the quantity brought in—increase the revenue materially—protect the honest impor ter who paid the duty, and, in a great degree, put a stop to smuggling, which is now carried on in all light fabrics to an enormous extent. In the mean time a warrant for assault against Askworth, obtained by Mr. Pendry, the husband of the last defendant, was called on for hearing. The defendant Askworth, who is an elderly man of very diminutive stature, displaying prodigious quantity of shirt collar, tripped into the office with a janty air to answer the charge. Mr. Pendry stated, that on Twelfth-night he went to Mrs. Mar shall's house, and on seeing Askworth sitting in the parlour, he made an observation to the effect that he should like to give that little rascal a horse whipping. At this stage of the charge Askworth burst out affectedly into a laugh. Mr. CONANT—Now, really, Sir, your conduct is , titolerable. This is neither time nor place for you to indulge in such levity, therefore I shall direct an officer to place you at the bar. The defendant, when put to the bar, appeared rather crest-fallen, and made a suitable apology, at tributing his laughter to the trivial nature of the charge against him. Mr. CONANT—WeII, Sir, but have you heard of the charge against you respecting this lady's sister, whom, it is said, you have decoyed from her situa tion for base purposes? Dear me, said the defendant, flourishing a white cambric handkerchief, the charge is totally prepos terous, there is not an iota of shadow for its founda tion. It would be beneath my character to rebut it. Mrs. Pendry here stood up and reminded him of an attack made by his wife on Christmas-day, when she met him and her sister walking together. As the assault was of a negative character, the Magistrate:imposed a fine of Is. and costs only. Schofield, having returned, said he had been un able to see the sister, as she had locked herself in Miss Bagley's room, probably anticipating the nature of his visit. Mr. CONANT said he feared he could not render Mrs. Pendry any assistance, for even if he induced her sister to come forward, he doubted, from her conduct on this occasion, whether advice would have effect upon her. The Worthy Magistrate then cautioned Mrs. Marshall, now she was fully ac quainted with the circumstances of the case, not to lend herself to proceedings which tended to the ruin of the girl; and then, addressing Miss Bagley, re marked, that her conduct throughout the whole transaction was of such a disgraceful character that he felt bound to dismiss the warrant against Mrs. Pendry.—The parties then quitted the office.

CoUNI'RY CORN MARKEI'S DURING IHE WEEK. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. AssAuvr.—Charles Phillips, errand-boy to a working jeweller, complained of Peter Laurie, the apprentice, for having, with malice prepense, griev ously kicked his " head's antipodes," and also blacked his eye with his fist. The apprentice, Peter, it appeared, possessed a pictur,"which he had, as he deposed, when a boy, " draw'd after natur," which " pictur" he prized on account of the reminiscences it afforded of his juve nile proficiency in the " Fine Arts." The errand boy, Phillips, by some means obtained possession of this " drawing," which circumstance having been discovered by the apprentice, he demanded its re storation instanter. The errand-boy, Phillips, re fused to leave the labours of his broom at that mo ment, as the " pictur" was up stairs in one of his boxes. Words having hereupon ensued, the errand boy, who sat breathing defiance on a three-legged stool, found himself suddenly capsized under the work-table by a sudden kick at the seat of his small clothes. When he regained his legs, he challenged Peter to come out and have a brush, but, having come off " second best" in the encounter, he re• sorted to a Magistrate for assistance. The defendant called one of his fellow-workmen as evidence of the provocation he had sustained, upon which a melancholy-looking little German came forward, and said " he vas see bote de shentil mans stand up for strike togeder, and dat first Myn heir Phillip vas call Mynheir Laurie some very loud name." The " very loud name" was explained by the defendant to consist of the epithets " Rogue" and " Rascal," applied to him by the errand-boy. The errand-boy admitted the " Rogue" but de nied the " Rascal" asserting that he had used the term " Willie in preference. Mr. CONANT said such names were highly im proper, but still had names did not justify blows. He should, therefore, recommend both parties to re tire and adjust their quarrel. The hint was adopted, and the warrant was then discharged. Mrs. Pendry, a well-dressed female, appeared yesterday before Mr. CONANT, to answer a com plaint of assault on Miss Bagley, a dress-maker, living in Linny-court, Museum-street. The complainant stated, that on Twelfth-night, just as a snug party was about to sit down to the enjoyment of a twelfth-cake and its festive conco mitants, the defendant knocked at the street-door, and insisted upon seeing her sister, who formed one of the party. Complainant ,went into the passage, where she encountered Mrs. Pendry, who, after charging her with introducing improper connexions to her sister, gave her (the complainant), to her face, an " undeniable character," and concluded by " flying upon her like a lioness," and tearing her cap off her bend. Mrs. Pendry, who was greatly agitated and shed tears when called upon for her defence, said she went to Miss Bagley's lodgings for the purpose of seeing her sister, and, if possible, of saving her from ruin. About a month since she discovered that her sister, who had for the last four years fated a situation in a respectable family, had left her place, through (as she had every reason to believe) the persuasion of a married man named Askworth, clerk to a fringe-maker in Nassau -street, who had taken lodgings for her, representing her to be his sister. The complainant, who was also ac quainted with Ask worth, constantly encouraged her sister to come to her lodgings for the purpose of giving opportunities to Askworth of meeting her; and knowing that she was, on Twelve-cake-night, there in Askworth's company, she (the defendant) went, accompanied by her husband, to demand an interview with her sister, for the purpose of repre senting to her the consequences of her imprudent conduct. When she was refused a sight of her sis ter, she admitted that she was overcome, and at tempted to pass the complainant, and the conse quence was that a scuffle ensued, in which her bonnet was torn from her head by Miss Bagley. The defendant entreated the Magistrate to assist her to obtain her sister from the control of those parties whose object, she feared, was only to accom plish her ruin. A female named Marshall, the wife of the porter at the British Museum, came forward and stated that she was Miss Bagley's landlady. The de fendant's sister certainly came occasionally to visit the complainant, but she was sure there was nothing improper intended towards her. The defendant said she had good reason to be lieve that Mrs. Marshall was partly instrumental in keeping her sister from her. Mr. CONANT having learned that the sister was at Mrs. Marshall's house, minding the children, de- MAR YLEB ONE. JUVENILE VAGRANCY.-Mr. RAWLINSON read a letter which he had received from Captain Bren'on the Chairman of the Society for the Suppression of Juvenile Vagrancy, informing him that, in conse quence of new and more extensive arrangements made by the Society, they were enabled to carry into execution the purposes for which the Society was instituted upon a larger scale, and that, there fore, they were prepared to receive all juvenile va grants that should be publicly recommended to the Society by the Magistrates. Mr. Rawlinson said he was extremely glad to receive this information, and he sincerely hoped that the Society would be enabled to carry their humane and benevolent intentions into effect. PIGEON SHOOTING.—John Prior was charged with killing some pigeons, the property of Sarah Hook. Mrs. Hook, a respectably-dressed woman, stated that she resided at a cottage at Cricklewood, in Hci.,lon. On the 3d of January she was feeding some pigeons, which she kept, when a stone, wrapped in a cloth, was thrown amongst them. The pigeons immediately flew, and settled on the chimney -pots of a publican of the name of Worthy, when the prisoner fired at them several times, and shot nine out of ten of them. The servant-maid of Mrs. Hook confirmed her testimony, and identified the prisoner, who is a chair-maker, as the person who alarmed the pigeons by throwing the stone at them. The prisoner admitted the fact, and said that be received orders from the publican to aboot them. This statement was confirmed by the publican, who alleged that the pigeons were in the habit of settling on his house, and he wanted to get rid of them. Mr. RAWLINSON said it was an outrageous thing to drive the pigeons to the house for the purpose of slaughtering them in the manner described. The worthy Magistrate would have inflicted the full penalty of 10/., but for the intercession of the pro secutrix. The prisoner was obliged to pay a fine of 21., and to give security for his future good behaviour. Peter Grig was committed to Newgate for steal ing two sticks of horse-radish, value 3d. UNION-HA L L. Miss Elizabeth Farnsworth, the young female who, it may be remembered, fell in love, at first sight with a young man in the employ of Mr. Lee, of Southwark, as he happened to be riding on horseback past her dwelling, was brought before Mr. WEDGWOOD yesterday charged under the fol lowing circumstances : Mr. Lee stated that in consequence of the an noyance to which he and others of his establishment were subjected by the conduct of the above young lady, he was cempelled to discharge the person upon whom she had fixed her affections from his employment. This unavoidable step, although pre judicial to the interest of the young man, yet had not the intended effect of keeping her away from his (Mr. Lee's) premises. She came there con tinually, and insisted that the object of her affec tions was concealed in the house, and it was use less to reason with her, as she refused to listen to any advice, and commenced exhibiting a spirit of revenge by breaking the windows. She had been twice in custody at this office, and although punished for the offence by imprisoment, in default of paying the penalty for wilful damage, yet it seemed to make no impression on her. Yesterday morning she called again at Mr. Lee's house, and having insisted that her lover was on the premises, became very noisy in consequence of a refusal to permit her to examine the place all over. They endeavoured by soothing treatment to prevail on her to go home, but she was not so easily to be got rid of, and after having dealt out a good deal of abuse to Mr. Lee, she pulled a large stone out of her pocket and flung it through the office window, smashing two panes of glass, and nearly breaking the head of one of the clerks who was writing at the desk. Mr. WEDGWOOD said that he was of opinion that she must be insane, otherwise she would never act in the manuer that she had done, and being of this opinion he should now keep her in custody until a physician was consulted, and two Magistrates were present to decide upon the case. The defendant on hearing the Magistrate's deci sion appeared totally regardless, and accompanied Newcome, the officer, to the lock-up house without exhibiting any feeling, either one way or the other, on the subject. The Prussian Government has expressed its approbation of a proposition of the Provincial States of Westphalia, is the establishment of an iron railroad, to form a junction between the Weser and the Lippe ; and the committee formed at Minden for the execution of this plan has proposed to continue the road to Cologne. THE HAGUE, JAN. G.—The Princess of Orange and the three young Princes returned yesterday from the army. For some days past there have been long sittings of the Cabinet Council. It is affirmed that the sot - ject of deliberation was the new proposals made by England and France, the principal of which are said to be, the surrender of Lillo and Liefkenshoek, the free navigation of the Scheldt, with the payment of a moderate tonnage,—the free navigation of the in. land waters, according to the regulations of the tariff of Mentz,—a commercial route by way of Sittardt and Venloo,—with a toll,—Holland to be put in possession of all the territory assigned to it by the twenty-four articles within ten days after the signing of the treaty,—the reduction of the Dutch and Bel gian armies to the peace establishment within a month after the signature of the treaty. It is said that these proposals, either wholly or in part, are decreed inadmissible, but not wholly re jected; so that they may serve as a basis for fur ther negotiations. A new Russian loan has been opened at Amster dam, under the title of " The 4th Series of the Loan of 5 per Cent.," and the house of Hope and Co. is to negotiate the loan as opportunity shall offer. The amount of this loan is to be 20,000,000 of rubles, or about 40,000,000 of florins. We hear from Bergen-op-Zoom that on the sth instant two ships arrived off Bath with wounded Dutch soldiers, who had left Antwerp the preced ing night. Several of the sick and wounded from the citadel of Antwerp, who were brought to the hospital at Bergen-op-Zoom, being entirely reco vered, have left the hospital to join their brethren in arms. The two ships above mentioned had 94 wounded soldiers on board. The ice in the river making it difficult to go up to Bergen-op-Zoom, the two ships went to Flushing, where the wounded, no doubt, have all possible care taken of them. JANUARY 7.—The following despatch has been received by the Director-General of War:— " TO HIS EXCHLLENCY THE DIRECTOR-GENERAL OF WAR AT THE HAGUE. " Citadel of Antwerp, Dec. 29, 1832. " As a sequel to my despatch of the 24th inst., No. 1,784, I have the honour of informing your Excellency that the enemy, by virtue of the capitu lation concluded this day, occupied the ravelin at the principal gate, and afterwards in the course of the day the five bastions. "At 2, p.m., I received in my casemate a visit from the two French Princes, accompanied by Mar shal Gerard, and 10 or 12 other Generals, who ad dressed to me the highest eulogies with regard to the defence of the citadel. The Marshal, at the same time, gave me the assurance that he would grant to me all that was not contrary to his in structions. All appeared struck with astonishment at the situation in which they found the interior of the citadel. I have no reason whatever to complain of the conduct of the French with respect to us; they satisfied all my demands in the must obliging manner. " I esteem myself happy in having been able to anticipate the wishes of his Majesty respecting the conveyance of the wounded to Holland; in the mean time, at my instance, those slightly wounded and the sick, who were on the 26th instant either here or at the Tete de Flandres, have been con veyed by water, under a French escort, from hence to our fleet, and from thence, under the escort of our seamen, to Bergen-op-Zoom. . . " Upon this occasion the Belgians again gave a proof of their baseness, by directing upon these vessels, although under a French escort, a brisk fire from Kattendyk to near Fort du Nord. The men badly wounded, 59 in number, have been con veyed to the hospital of Ant werp. There the French military authorities are specially commis sioned to take them under their protection ; amongst them are 26 who have undergone amputation. Co lonel de Gomoens and Lieutenant Van Limburg Stisum have been also conveyed in the same way, their condition not allowing them to be otherwise conveyed. The latter has been received at the house of his cousin. The Marshal has formally pro mised me that those wounded, as soon as their state allows of it, shall be sent to their homes. " Captain Koopman, who, by virtue of the addi tional article, was not included in the capitulation, was conveyed on the 26th to the French head-quar ters. The marine officers have been disarmed. After several representations, and after having insisted several times with the Marshal that if the fate of the seamen was not to be equal to ours I should be per sonally treated in the same way as the Captain, the duty of every commandant being to submit as a pri soner of war to the destiny of those whose fate is the hardest, I had the happiness of obtaining a consent that the officers should have their arms restored, and the seamen be included in the capitulation. A hope was besides given me that Captain Koopman should soon join me. I could not, however, be satis fied in ray demand in this respect without persisting in desiring to share his lot. " On the 27th Marshal Gerard addressed to me the following letter:— " ' ARMY OF THE NORTH. " 6 TO BARON CHASSE, GENERAL OE INFANTRY, HEAD.. QUARTERS, BERCIIE}I, DEC. 27. " Monsieur General,—l hasten to announce to you, that according► to the instructions which I have received from my Government, I am authorized to send you to Holland, and also all the troops which were under your orders, upon the express condition that all the officers and soldiers included in the ca pitulation shall, as well as you, enter into a formal engagement not to bear arms against France or her allies, and especially against Belgium, whilst the ar rangements of intervention between the latter Power and Holland are incomplete. If you accept the pro position which I have the honour to make to you, I will immediately give orders that you and your troops shall march without delay to the frontiers of Holland, where your arms shall be restored. In case of a refusal, I have to inform you that I have received orders to send you and your troops to Dunkirk. " ' Receive, Monsieur General, the assuranc of ray most distinguished consideratio,i, " ' Count GERARD, " The Marshal Commanding-in-Chief.' " TO MARSHAL COUNT GERARD, COMMANDANT IN- CHIEF OF THE ARMY OF THE NORTH. " Citadel of Antwerp, Dec. 27, 1832. "‘ MonsieurMarshal—ln answer to the letter which your Excellency has done me the honour to address to me to-day concerning the conditions as to send ing the garrison of the citadel to Holland, I have the honour to inform you, Monsieur Marshal, that I am not authorized to subscribe such an engagement, and that, in consequence, I am under the necessity of submitting, with my troops, to the lot which the French Government in that case destines for us. " Receive, Monsieur Marshal, the assurances of my most distiuguished consideration. " 'Baron CHASSE, the General of Infintry.' " We, on this, received orders yesterday to pro• teed to Dunkirk. Nlajor-General de Tauvags set out this morning with the first column, about 2,400 strong, composed of the 10th, and two companies of the 2d Infantry, under a strong escort. As to my self, I shall be put in route early tomorrow, with the second and last column, consisting of what re mains of infantry, artillery, and seamen. " It has been permitted, at my request, to the officers in health to return to Holland. They will set out from hence at the first opportunity, except .he Surgeon-Major Croissant, who, at his own in stance, will accompany me, on account of my ill state of health, to Dunkirk, where he will take an opportunity of being sent to Holland, when I shall no longer need his care. " Time at present fails me. I shall have the honour of sending from Dunkirk to your Excellency the propositions which I have to make for granting ' military rewards. " I have j ust received the melancholy i n t e lli genc e that Colonel de Gomoens died yesterday evening in
