(From the French Papers of Wednesday.) The Moniteur of this morning contains a royal ordinance, by which the following electoral colleges of arrondissement are convoked for the 6th of No vember, each to elect a Deputy :—Haute Garonne, Ist arrondissement at Toulouse; 4th arrondissement, at Monet. Loire Inferidure, 4th arrondissement, at Savenay. Tarn, Ist arrondissement, at Alhy; 2d ditto, at Castres. Vaucluse, 2d arrondissement, at Carpentraa. Cotes du Nord, at St. Brienne. He rault, at Montpellier. Isere, at Grenoble. Loire Inferieure, at Nantes. Hautes Pyrennees, at Nantes; and Vaucleuse, at Avignon. All these vacancies, except one, have been occasioned by the refusal of Deputies to take the oath to the new Government. By a second ordinance, the departmental colleges of the Haute Garonne, the Mayence, and the Tarn, are convoked for the 28th of October, at Toulouse, Laval, and Alby, each to elect two Deputies, in the MOW of others who have resigned, or who have .; omitted to take the oath within the time prescribed by law. By a third ordinance the King, desirous of signalizing his accession to the throne by acts of clemency, grants full and entire amnesty for all of. fences of simple police committed anterior to the 27th of July, 1830., All condemnations in conse quence will cease to have effect, and prosecutions commenced will be abandoned. This measure is to be executed without prejudice to private interests, And the Treasury will'not be bound to restore costs or fines already recovered. A fourth ordinance fills tip the numerous places of public functionaries in the administrative and judicial departments, become vie cant by their refusal or omission to take the oath within the term prescribed. Two other ordinances appoint a Juge de Paix and several Sub-Prefects. The Courier Francais and several other Journals of this morning, express strong doubts of the ex. istence of the note relative to Belgium, for which the Tempt of yesterday pledged itself. The German Papers state that there have re cently been some disturbances at Gera, in the prin cipality of Reuss, the cause of which is unknown. The Prince of Reuss Ebersdorf having appeared in the streets, and promised the abolition of several abuses, he succeeded in appeasing the people for the moment. Several officers under Government, ob noxious to the people, have been dismissed. The troops which were at Ebersdorf marched on the 17th instant for Gera. The Nitremberg Corre spondent has intelligence from Thuringia of the 20th instant, from which it appears that the spirit of in surrection has spread from Altenburg and Gera to the Grand Duchy of Saxe Weimar; on the 18th and 10th several malcontents excited a riot at Jena, by burning the house of a functionary, on the ground that he was guilty of mismanagement in the admi nistration of the town. A commission has been sent to Jena by the Government, to re-establish order, and receive the complaints against grievances which might be made. Yesterday afternoon the post of the National Guards at the Mairie, rue de Canivet, seized a large package of uniforms, and two chests filled with car tridges, which were carried to the Prefecture of Police. They came from Versailles by an artillery waggon, and were addressed to an ex-Royal Guard. The Chambre du Commerce at Havre has just sent to the Minister of the Finances a protest against the decision lately formed relative to St. Domingo coffee belonging to the Government of Hayti.

THE BENEVOLENT WIDOW. There was a very benevolent widow living in Plymouth, in respectable circumstances, who fre quentlycame to the theatre, and was kind enough to inquire into the private situations of various members of the company. Among others she asked about Prigtnore, mid was told that he had but a small salary and made a very poor appear ance. Hearing this, she remembered that she had a pair of her late husband'a indispensables in the house, which she resolved to offer him. A servant was accordingly despatched to the ob ject of her charity, who meeting one of the actors, and partly disclosing her business, he went in search of Prigmore, and finding him ex claimed, " Prigmore, my boy, here's your fortune made at last ; here's a rich widow in the town has fallen in love with you, and wants to see you." Prigmore, not suspecting his roguery, was led.to the servant, in a state of bewildered rap ture, and by the latter was informed that the widow would be glad to see him any morning it was convenient. He appointed the following, and went home to his lodgings to indulge in a day-dream of golden independence. His friend in the mean tune, whispered the truth through the green-room, where there were two or three s others' wicked enough to join in the conspiracy, by walking to Prigmore's house to tender their congratulations. Prigmore, as will be supposed, passed a sleepless night, and spent an extra hour at his toilette the next morning, in adorning him self with a clean chin and neckcloth. He then sallied forth, and, on reaching the widow's was shewn into her parlour, where, cast ing his eyes around on the substantial sufficiency of its furniture, he began to felicitate himself on the aspect of his future home. The lady at length appeared : she was upon the verge of forty ; a very fashionable age at that time, which resting upon the shoulders of a very comely-looking woman, seemed to ha in c h a r a cter with her very comfortable dwelling. Prigmore's satisfaction and her benevolence ope rated equally in producing some confusion ; at length a conversation commenced. She ac quainted him that she had heard his situation was not as agreeable as he could wish—that his income was a confined one ; she was therefore desirous to do lihn all the service that lay in her power. Prigmore, considering this an express declaration of her affection, was about to throw himself at her feet, when she suddenly sum• moned the servant and exclaimed, " Rachel, bring the breeches 1" These words astounded him, and he stared in her face like a block of marble ; the widow, as suspicionless as himself of the hoax, could not interpret his wonder ; but on receiving the habi liments, folded them carefully up, and remarking that they were as good as new, (her Lusbancl having caught his fatal cold in them the first time he put them on,) begged Prigmore's ac ceptance of the same. " _And was it for this you wanted me, Ma dam e" exclaimed Prigmore, rising from his chair ; his tone and countenance bespeaking a mixture of surprise and disappointment.—" Yes, Sir." He put on his hat, and walked to the door in silent, indignation. The good woman, as much astonished as himself, followed him and said, " Won't you take the breed Sir ?" " No, Madam," he i pausing" re died, at the door to mak e s ome bitter remark. yourself 1" For ti me remainder o f ear thorn hips fife was far from being " ' leas " eing envialde.—Been or d' s ftelroreclions the Stage. MAGAZINE-DAY. BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE. " The Moors," which opens (as it should do) the present number, is one of those bril liant versatile productions, which there is but one, man alive who can write—of course we wean Professor Wilson. We despair of doing justice to the exquisite snatches of poetry—the sly peculiar turns of humour—the bold dashing descriptions—the vehement declamation—the fine moral pathos—and (strange to say) the sound metaphysical reasoning, in which this brilliant paper abounds. There is nothing we can compare it to, for we know of nothing like it. It is essentially original, and to be original in days like the present, when every stream of novelty—no matter how recondite—has been tracked to its source, and laid open to the garish eye of day, argues genius of the very highest order. As a specimen of Professor Wilson's happy eloquence, we give his opinion of Sir James Mackintosh. With the justice of his remarks we have nothing to do, we profess not to decide whether he be right or wrong, we regard only their eloquence, and on this there cannot be two opinions. Burke himself might envy the richness and fertility of this passage : ." Sir James, somewhere or other, touches on the con nexion between Genius and Virtue—and as we have often requi►ed of ourselves a comparison between these divinities, we glowered on his page with all our faculties of soul and sense, but could see nothing. Sir James had to draw upon his own stores for any thing he might say on that subject, for none of the wise-men or wiseacres, who are among the number of his familiars, have, we believe, more than touched it—but the meanness and misery of his lean lucubrations, betray the scantiness and bareness of the I►astures on which they have been fed. It is always so with Sir James. He has built some large hay-stacks, and filled some large barns with wheat-sheaves, but all the pro vender and victual has been bought or borrowed ; and on walking through his farm we are pained to see the state bath of meadow and arable—the one brown in spite of much irrigation, and the other in vain all lying in summer fallow ; nor can we hope that in any future autumn it will ever produce a crop." We bad marked a variety of other passages for extract, but find, unluckily, that we must re strict their number. One, however, we cannot forbear giving. It is a description of the mountain scenery at the head of Loch-Etive, anti assuredly none but a poet whose every faculty of imagination is keenly awake, could have written it : " What a prospect ! Our cloud-castle rests upon a foundation of granite precipices ; and down along their thous and chasms, from which the eye recoils, we look on Loch-Etive, ' Deeply, darkly, beautifully blue,' and hear ing on its bosom, stationary—so it seems in the sunshine —one snow-white sail ! , What brings the creature there —and on what errand may she be voyaging up the uninha bited sea-arm that stretches away into the uninhabited mountains ? Same poet, perhaps, steers hersitting at the helm in a dream, and allowing her to dance her own way, at hqr own will, up and down the green glens and hills of the foam-crested waves—•a swell rolling in the beauty of light of music for ever attendant on her, as the sea-mew--fur so we choose to name her —pursues her voyage—now on water, and now, as the breezes drop, in the air—elements at times undistinguishable, as the sha dows of the clouds and of the mountains mingle their imagery in the sea. Oh ! that our head, like that of a spider, were all studded with eyes—that our imagination, sitting in the ' palace of the soul,' (a noble expression, borrowed or stolen by Byron from Waller), might see all at once all the sights from centre to circumference, as if all rallying around her fur her own delight, and oppressing her with the poetry of nature—a lyrical, an elegiac, an epic, and a tragic strain ! Now the bright blue water gleams enchain her vision, and are felt to constitute the vital, the essential spirit of the whole—Loch Awe land serpent, large as serpent of the sea, lying sleeping in the sun, with his burnished skin all bedropt with scales of sil ver and of gold—the lands of Lorn, mottled and speckled with in 'numerous Melds, where fancy sees millions of water-lilies riding at anchor in bays where the breezes have all fallen asleep—Oban, splendid among the splendours of that now almost motionless Mediterranean, the mountain loving Liunhe Loch--Jura, lola, and nameless other islands, floating far and wide away on,--on to Coll and Tires', beneath the faint horizon drowned in the sea ! But now all the eyes in our spider-head are lost in one blaze of undistinguisheble glory—for the whole Highlands of Scot land arc up in their power against us—rivers, lochs, seas, islands, cliffs, clouds, and mountains—the pen drops from our hand, and here we are—not on the battlements of the air-palace on the summit of Cruachan—but sitting on a tripod or three-legged stool at the mouth of our Tent, with our article before us, anti at our right hand a quech of Glenlivet, fresh drawn from yonder ten-gallon cask—and here's to the health of Honest men and bonny lasses all over the globe !' " " Passages from the Diary of a Noted Phy sician," though clever, are not equal to the last series. " The Broken Heart," despite the easy natural power with which it is told, is so intole rably trite, that nothing short of inspiration can reconcile us to it. " The Novel, a Satire," is passable. " Expiation" is a talc told with sur prising energy. The denouement, however, is too easily foreseen. " Life of Richard Bentley," from the pen of De Quincy, is replete with classical knowledge, but ill adapted to the present day. Bentley and his school are past and gone for ever. The old times of classical criticism arc already with the days beyond the Flood, for Mr. Hamilton and his system have clapped their extinguisher upon them. We shall have no more scholars of the sound, sterling school—no more Salmasius's—Ehnsleys, and Porsons— show has taken the place of substance —assump tion of reality—cc and the glory of the com mentators," as Burke said of chivalry, " is ex tinguished for ever." The remaining articles are of the average order of ability. MONTHLY MAGAZINE. This is One of the most capital numbers that c editor or proprietor--•aul quocunque alio nomine gaudet—has ever yet put forth. It has considerable liveliness and vivacity ; is not defi cient in information ; in politics is less acrimo nous and ultra than usual, consequently less generally offensive ; and in variety has as strong claims to notice as any periodical of the month. The opening article, under the' title of " The King of the French, France, Wellington, and Europe," is a spirited, but by no means violent article, there is hardly a point in it with the strict justice of which we do not coincide. " The Golden City" is a tale well wrought up, and one which will richly reward perusal. " The Irish Priest anti hiv Niece" is sprightly, and we doubt not characteristic ; and " Satan and his Satellites" an arch, brilliant, good-humoured squib on Mr. it. Montgomery's religious poem of Satan, apparently from the pen of Mr. Croly. " Aphorisms on Man," like all the late Mr. litulitt's productions, arc replete with para dox but full of power, ingenuity, and (perhaps) truth. ft was the fault of this eminent writer— for eminent he is and ever will be, in spite of a hundred faults—to be cursed with a perpetual, uneasy hankering after effect. This, we sup. pose, he derived from his original profession of a painter. He was not satisfied with merely con vincing, he must also startle and electrify his rea ders—produce a sensation in short—else he ima gined that he had done nothing. Hence his works abound in displays, of energy badly directed. Sometimes, however, when he condescended to drop this affectation, and let nature have Air play, no one could yield more instruction and entertainment than Mr. Hazlitt. He had hu mour, if not wit, a fine vein of pathos, which went straight to the heart as from the heart it came, an exquisite relish for poetry, an acute unerring critical discernment, considerable meta physical subtlety, and as genuine a relish for the Fine Arts as any author or artist that ever existed. As a writer, however, -more especially as a politician, his passions too often got the better of his judgment, and, in fact, had no slight share in engendering that lingering mor bid disease of which he died. " Ballad a-la- Bayley" is a lively imitation of this trifling song writer, en voici. In closing our notice of the " Monthly," we should not omit to notice the very able engraving of " Louis Philippe" which heads the number. It does credit to the pro prietor's enterprise and liberality : " I have not laughed nor smiled for years, Since first I learnt to know That smiles are channels for our tears, That very watery woe— That odd compound of sodas, salts, Which forms the home-made rain, With which we mourn our friends or faults, Our penury or pain. Age steals on all—dolts, dustmen, dukes, Rakes, men who say their prayers, And men who keep their youthful looks The longest —even on players ! Grimaldi's star too soon has set ; That satellite, his son, May round his orbit pirouette, But not reflect his fun. Dick Jones, as frisky as a fly, Mercutio of the day, (Time writes his truths too legibly I) May yet grow grave and grey. Poor Liston's a wet-Baptist grown, Some say he has been dipped ; Joe Munden's laugh is now a groan, And even Harley'. hypped. Yes—five-and-twenty years will make A change in mortal things : I've seen it some strange freedoms take With very decent kings. A quarter-century, when o'er, Appears by no means recent; It made a saint of naughty Moore, And Broad-Grin Colman decent. Ye nine-and-twenty years ! I could Apostrophize your flight In strain, would make great Matthew Wood Put out his little light. But ye are gone—and where's the use Of metrical regret ? Or tears, to render my dry muse Uncomfortably wet ? The pump which now at Aldgate stands Had the same handle Men ; 'Ti, handled now by other hands, Another race of men ! Phil. Potts was then a serving -lad, A big-boy sort of man ; " The boy is father to the dad" He's now a publican! Jack Shrimshaw kept his horse and chaise And rolled in port and pelf Now Jack, in these degenerate days, Lin barely keep himself! Wilke, Wilkins, Wilkinson, and Wicks, Brown, Buggies, Biggs, and Bate, Hogg, Huggins, Higgins, Higgs, and Hicks, Are all in the same state ! There's Thrift, who lent his thousands out, And dined on two polonies t Now phaetonizet town about With two black-spotted ponies ; And Grasp, who ground the poor to dust, Hard-hearted as a target, Has left Bread-Ward his marble bust, And feeds the world at Margate! The Dobbses, who then cut a dash, And led the ion of Aldgate, Grew out of vogue when out of cash, And sank to Norton-Falgate; The Ilobbses, Once in Dobbs's+t/Ise, Proud when a Dobbs would lighten The darkness of their dwelling-place, Now cut them dead at Brighton. Thus runs the world, thus ran the world, And thus it still shall run, Till into atoms it is hurled, And quenched are moon and sun I Who shall recount the ups and downs, The laughter and the tears, The kicks and cuffs, the smiles and frowns, Of five.and-twenty year. !" NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE. The " English Election" is a temperately written political ar ti c l e , f rom w hi c h we extract the following observations on Mr. Brougham's late glorious and triumphant election for York shire. They are full of matter worthy consi deration " But the greatest event in the county elections —per haps the greatest in the whole history of elections—is the return of Mr. Brougham for Yorkshire. It is, indeed, a new and glorious sign of the times, that a man without birth, high connexion, office, er estate, should be elected almost by acclamation as the representative of the greatest county of England, with which he was wholly unconnected, except by the exercise of his profession at its assizes, simply because its thousands of reflecting minds regard him as the most powerful advocate of humanity and freedom. It is idle to contend that the last position which Mr. Brougham has chanced to take, as the leader of a miscellaneous oppo sition to the Duke of Wellington, has influenced this choice ; for, whatever the opinion of the county may be on this low personal question, it could never excite such enthusiasm or impel to such an issue ; but his constituents have looked back on those efforts whirl' appear as so many watch-fires along the course of knowledge and liberty, ap. palling their enemies, and lighting their friends upon their onward path. They see, o r thi n k t h ey see in him, an earnest and practical reformer of the laws ; an opponent of monopoly in the East Indies, and of slavery in the West; and the most zealous and active friend of every plan for diffusing knowledge ; and, believing in his constancy to these objects, which influence the great prospects of our species, they care but little how he may choose his part within the smaller circle of political intrigue. It is foreign to our purpose to speculate on his future course as a tici an ; it is enough to know that the impulses which he has given to society cannot be chilled, nor the debt which it owes to him paid. It may he regarded as the most sin gular coincidence in the history of human affairs, that th e person whose intellect philosophers would consider as among the moat remarkable of his time, should thus have been elevated to the greatest of those stations for which wealth and mediocrity have been the immemorial requi sites—or rather let us call it one of the most signal evi dences of the progress of that silent and peaceful revolution, which, without br ea ki ng up t h e surface of society, is ani mating its forms with a new expression, and working in its dull antiquities till they become the symbols of living and influential truths." " Travels in Greece and Albania" is a to lerable enough review of Mr. Hughes's travels in those countries. It is not abode, neither is it below, mediocrity. The account of the famous (or rather infamous) Ali Paella is interesting, anti in some degree novel. " Byron and Shelley on the character of Hamlet" (a good idea) is a conversation between these two celebrated poets, on the subject of the effects produced on their iby the perus a l o f Sh a k speare ' s master piece. Shelley cie. Shelley has evidently the best of the argument, notwithstanding he sets his Lordship to sleep, as Mazeppa set the Czar. 'We take for granted that the conversation is fictitious ; it is, however, characteristic and ingenious. " Sketches from the Ganges" is amusing, if not edifying, and the " Prison-breaker" a remark ably well-told tale, from the pen—so we are given to understand—of Barry Cornwall. The minor and mechanical matters in this number, such as the small Reviews, small Obituary, small &c., are done with tact and judgment. FRASER'S MAGAZINE. " 6 The Death of Mr. Huskisson, and the approaching Parliament," is a well and tempe rately written article, in which the departed statesman is treated in a proper spirit of justice and humanity. " Quackery and Mr. St. John Long," is an apology for not having exposed this stupendous quack to the extent that the writer originally intended. We think an apo logy is requisite. The portrait of Thomas Moore in the Gallery of Illustrious Literary Characters, is a spirited sketch,—faithful so far as resemblance is concerned, though the coun tenance has, we suspect, rather too aged a cha racter. If, however, it be correct, Mr. Moore is certainly becoming somewhat reverend and patriarchal for a festive song-writer. " The un published Poems and other rniffortunes of a Man of Genius," is a happy quiz on memoirs and universal geniuses. It will be read with much pleasure. We regret that our very con tracted limits will not permit us to make an extract from this amusing extravaganza. " Par liamentary Reporters" furnishes some good details respecting the qualifications necessary to ensure success in this very difficult profession. " The Wheel Overboard" is a cleverish tale, by the author of a well known series of papers in Blacktvoad's Magazine, entitled, the " Man of War's Man." " American Traditions" possesses much knowledge, and even detail of character, as Mr. Galt's, novels (always excepting his su pernaturally stupid poems, and his worse than superlatively somniferous tragedies,) usually do. Mr. Galt is a plain matter-of-fact man ; he can describe what he sees, that is, what lies right under his nose, but can neither invent nor con ceive. As for imagination, he has not a spark of it ; there is as much fancy in an old gate-post, as in Mr. John Galt's intellectual constitution. At times he has humour, or he never could have pourtrayed the admirable character of Leddy Grippy. But this is the only thing that he has done that will be remembered. Altogether the present number is a good one. UNITED SERVICE JOURNAL. The two parts of this—for it is a double number, " like to a double cherry seeming parted, and yet a union in partition" —came in at so late au hour of the morning, that we are tillable to do more than just to certify its arrival. FAMILY MAGAZINE. A pleasant, reasonable miscellany, blending the utile dulci in a very agreeable manner. It is truly a Magazine for the reading of private families, and we are glad to hear that, as such, it is rapidly extending its circulation. We have no space for extracts. LA BELLE ASSEMBLER. As usual, an elegant and entertaining mis cellany. The embellishments are this month un usually numerous, and as excellent as they are varied. The literary department is conducted with the editor's wonted skill and address. The " Lady's Magazine"—g , The Gentle man's Magazine of Fashion"—" The World of Fashion"—" The Asiatic Journal"—" The Monthly Gazette of Health"—“ The Harmo nicon—we must, from want of space, despatch under one head. Each is good in his or her department. BRIGHTON, SHPT. 30.

STATE OF THE NETHER ,KDS, (From the Private Co i kteapondent of the Times MALINES, SEPT. 27. I have to communicate the important news that Brussels was totally evacuated by the Royal troops this morning at four o'clock. It was found utterly unavailing to keep up the contest beyond last night, against the desperate bands who for days had de fended the city. The kit attempt of any moment was made yesterday by the military, to force the Hotel de Bellevue. Two pieces of cannon were placed within fifty yards of its walls, and it was lite rally battered to pieces; but the rebels attacked the troops in the Park, which was gallantly defended by the grenadiers with success, but with a loss of full 100 men. The army is at this moment in position on the heights about a league from Brussels, Prince Fre derick's head-quarters being at the village of Dieg hem. He has sustained a loss little short of 3,000, in killed and wounded, including many officers. Persons who have this day quitted Brussels describe the joy of the victorious people as unbounded. A proclamation has been issued by the Provisional Go vernment in the most inspiring terms. The chiefs who have most contributed to this extraordinary and successful resistance are Don Juan Van Halen, a Spaniard, known by his published Memoirs, and Colonel Mellenet, a French officer, who has for seve ral years been an inhabitant of Brussels. Count Vandermeeren also has taken a most active part. Baron d'Hoogvoorst has long lost all authority, or even nominal command. Mr. Pletincks was made prisoner at the Porte de Louvain, on the evening of the 25th, in his capacity of ambassador from the rebels, and as a measure of reprisal for the deten tion of Col. Goumaens, who is still in their hands. I must leave you to speculate on the probable consequence of these events. What is now to be done by the Royal army I know not. It consists of 13,000 men, with about 30 pieces of cannon; and General Curt Heiliger has been summoned by the Prince to join him with all speed with his corps d'armee, consisting of about the same number. It is said that a body of near 1,000 men marched from Liege to attack the military post of Tongres, and succeeded in making some prisoners. But as yet the chief towns of Belgium have made no strong demonstration in support of the capital. It is supposed that Prince Frederick will either proceed immediately to bombard Brussels, or com pletely encircle it with troops, and so starve it into submission. His measures must be dictated by the chances for or against a general rising throughout the country; but he will risk the total loss of the southern provinces, should he hesitate in the former desperate, but now imperiously necessary, measure. TUESDAY EVENING, SEPT. 26. Nothing of importance has occurred since yester day. About 600 of the people sallied out from Brussels this morning, and some sharp skirmishing took place with the advanced posts of the Royal army. Reinforcements are coming up from all quarters in small bodies; no desertions are taking place, and the soldiery seem one and all animated with a determination to wipe away the disgrace of their retreat. Such is now the posture of affairs, and as soon as any thing important occure. I will again write to you. have heard of no Englishman kill e d a t B russe l s, except Lord Blantyre, whose death was quite acci dental. It was at first stated that the musket-ball which proved fatal to his life had passed through the street-door of hie house, behind which he was said to 'be standing. But the fact is, that he was killed while in the act of looking from one of the upper windows, from which he had an instant before removed a maid-servant. I am sorry to have to state that the soldiers committed considetable ex cesses, as far as pillage was concerned. Several houses in the Rue Royal, from which they forced the people, were plundered of money and valuables. One lady, it is said, lost jewels to the value of 2,0004; other persons had their watches forced from them, and all species of co i n w i t hi n the grasp of the pillagers. The officers made vain efforts to restrain the men. Numbers of wounded passed through this town for the hospitals of Antwerp, and I understand seven carts full were yesterday sent from thence to Breda. THE lIAGVB, SEPT. 27. The proceedings here are reduced now to perfect nothingness. The Second Chamber is to-day deli berating in sections on a proposed address to the King, relative to the questions offered for considers don in his message of the 13th instant. When the address is agreed to, it is intended to send it up to the First Chamber for its assent. It would be a long business to explain to you how totally out of all order of regular proceeding this projected measure is ; and it only proves that at this crisis, neither the Ministers nor the Deputies pay uny respect to forms, or "stand on the order of their going." Nothing can be more cruel than the situation of the Belgian members, held here by a strong feeling of duty, and a lingering hope of saving their country, while their families and property are exposed to all the chances of civil war, and the worst passions of a people which has thrown off all restraint. The King and the Prince of Orange are plunged in the most sincere distress at the horrid necessity of the measures which the Brussels rebels have forced on them. I need not add, that news from that point of overwhelming interest is looked for with indescribable anxiety. THE HAGUE, SEPT. 28. The Second Chamber of the States-General as sembled yesterday in a general committee. We hear that the central section made its report on the two questions contained in the Royal message of the 13th of September last. It appears that there was a great diversity of opinions on this sub ject in the sections. No decision was come to, and the discussion will b• renewed to-day. It will be endeavoured to answer the questions proposed, so that the Government may learn the real opinion of the States-General on the subject, in order then to take such measures as may be judged the beat cal culated to attain the end in view. In the General Committee of to-day it was re solved, after a very long debate, that the two ques tions contai n ed i n th e Royal Message of the 13th of September should be answered positively, and with out any reserve. Till's evening, at six o'clock, the Chamber will again assemble in a General Committee, to deter mine the answer to be given to the two questions. The position in which the Royal troops had been in Brussels for some days sufficiently indicated that, notwithstanding the great bravery which they dis played, it would be difficult fur them to tnaintain themselves there without great sacrifices, and with out incurring very great danger. It was therefore expected that they would shortly retreat, as they have done, according to the following official ac counts published to-day in an extraordinary Sinai: Courant OFFICIAL REPORT OF THE RETIREMENT OF THE DUTCH TROOPS TO DIEGHEM. " His Majesty has received accounts from the headquarters of his Royal Highness Prince Frede rick, of the Netherlands, to the following effect:— " The troops also, as stated in preceding re ports, had made themselves masters of part of the ►ipper town (the Park, the Palaces, the Hertog street (Duke-street), and some of the adjoining streets), after having maintained themselves in their positions with distinguished bravery ever since Tinifiday, were attacked on the 20th September, in the evening, by a body of insurgents, who, at the same time, set fire to the States-General, as they had before done to the Palace of the States-General. " In consequence of this, it was necessary to evacuate the Palace, so that the defence was con fined to the Ilertogstraat, in a position extremely dangerous to the troops, for which reason it was re solved to leave the city for the present to its fate, The troops marched out in the night In the hes order, and without being interrupted. " The Prince is in good health, and di s t:bull , quarters are at Dieghern, where tne troops itor taken a position.' OFFICIAL REPORT OF OFFICERS KILLED; WOUNDED, AND MISSING. Killed—Major C. F.
