According to information received this morning, it appears that most part of Belgium is at this pre sent moment in a state of great anarchy. The system of pillaging has extended to Antwerp, where great commotions have taken place, and by the last accounts all was in confusion in the above city; from eight to ten houses have been plundered by the mob, which has cauged the Belgian General to issue a proclamation, declaring Antwerp to be in a state of siege, and ordering all strangers who have not inhabited the above town four days past to depart. He also says he is determined to destroy by grape shot all assemblages of persons if they do not obey his proclamation. Surely this state of affairs in Belgium cannot last long. German and Dutch Papers have been received this morning. The former confirm the entry of the Austrians into Bologna on the morning of the 21st, so that the previous account of their entry on the 20th was not so far wrong. It is clear that the intention so to enter was well known. We shall see what explanation is made to the French Government on a subject of such future cons€quence. The States-General have been discussing the project of a law for an advance of taxes. This looks rather warlike FRONTIERS OF ITALY, MARCH 25.—General Baron Frituont having declared to the subjects of the Pope, by a proclamation dated Milan, 19th March, that in conse quence of an application for succour made by his Holiness to his Majesty the Emperor of Austria, a corps of impe rial troops would enter the papal territories to restore the legitimate government, which had been for the moment usurped by the rebels, the General entered Bologna, at the head of his troops without resistance, on the 21st March, in the morning. A deputation from the city, With the Podesta at its head, went as far as Samoggia to ateet him. The inconsiderable armed force of the insur- Petits that was in the city under the command of General Zucchi, bad retired the thy before, taking Cardinal Bert l'enuti with them. The imperial advanced posts were already on the other side of Bologna. Accounts from Rome of the 18th say that every thing was quiet there, and the news of the occupation of Ferrara by the Austrian troops had caused great joy. The Papal General, Resta, had published on the 14th a general pardon for Papal sol diers who had joined the rebels. Letters from Italy speak of a violent eruption of Mount Etna towards the end of February. Aucsounc, MARCH 29.—The Osservator Triestino, of March 22, relates the entrance of t h e Austrian troo p s Int o Bologna on the preceding day, in the same manner as the letter from the Italian frontiers in our yesterday's Paper. It confirms the fact that not the slightest resist ance was made to the troops, and adds, " Perfect tran quillity every where prevails. A great part of the popu lation give unequivocal - proofs of joy at being delivered from the yoke of anarchy, and there is every reason to hope that the repose of Italy will be very shortly restored."- 4411gemeine Zeitung, March 29.

TH E HAGUE, Martcn 31.—0 n the day before yester-- 'aY the officers of this garrison waited on his Royal Highness the Prince of Orange. 1 30Is-LE-DUC, MARCH 29.—The day before yesterday a Belgian officer accompained by a trumpeter, came with sag of truce to our \ out-posts near Valkerward. The e,patcues which he brought were immediately forwarded 4tithe head-quarters of his Royal Highness Prince Fre ck at Breda. The Belgians having again some time ago visited our territory and committed acts of violence and of pillage 4 f the houses of the burgomaster and clergyman of Ossen rie.ht, we learn that the guilty persons have been put to prison by their officers, who have ordered the stolen Property to be restored to the owners. Barna, MARCH 29.—We hear that a distressing acci dent took place to-day at Bergen-op-Zoom, by the blowing tined of the labor a t or y o f the artillery. Several persons were '!le, and others morel or less severely injured. It 14 also 'kid that some houses were destroyed. BarnA, MARCH 31.-011 the 0 9th a band of 200 Bel led this time by a superior officer, again violated our themselves Fifty advanced to Zundert, and had posted lemselves near the Cath o lic c hurch ; the others, with t h cannon, remained at Wernhout, and concealed them "lves behind some bushes. They retreated without accoin- Pha iling their object, which seems to have been to draw ° tit' People into an ambuscade. TH E Moor, MARC), 311.---The official accounts of the misfo rtune at Bergen-op• Zoom state that it was a ta r:g 11 1 story th at bl ew u p i n w hi ch about thirty artillery inatlik were at work. The fortificAtions are not in ' % r ed, but very great damage hull been d o n e t o the h o uses ill toe neighbouring streets. This was partly caused by the blowing up of come waggons loaded with cannon-balls and shells, which flew about in all directions, as if the city was bombarded. On the 30th there were brought into the hospital 15 soldiers killed, and 11 severely and 37 slightly wounded. There is not yet any certain ac• count of the casualties among the citizens ; it is known that there are three killed and 87 wounded. • The cause of the accident is not yet ascertained.

The duty an the exportation of wool is suppressed by an ukase, addressed by the Emperor to the Senate. On the llth inst. there was no new case of cholera at Moscow, nor any death, and one recovery on the 12th in the morning ; there remained four patients. Tne new French Government have set out on their course with a determination to be prompt and resolute in all their Legislative measures. They have decided on putting down all those political associations with which, under one pretence or other, Paris, and even many of the pro vinces, have been for some time overrun, in the settled conviction that nn Government can pos sibly carry its plans into effect, or have the same constitutional influence that it ought to have, while any such association—an inipe riuni in iniperio—is allowed to thwart and coun teract its efficiency. We suspect M. CASIMIR PERRIER wi ll find much difficulty in put ting his determination into execution, though the ' 1 dismissal of General LAMARQUE, an active, influ ential officer, in his way, from the chief command of the departments of the west, would seem to imply that the President of the Council knows his strength, and that it is fully equal to the emergency of the case. The dismissal of General LAP.IARQUE has produced a considerable sensation at Paris; it was supposed that the new French Cabinet would not (as yet) have proceeded to such lengths; and even those best acquainted with the man, have expressed sur prise at M. CASIMIR PERRIER'S energy. According to the Journal des Debuts, the entry of the Austrians into the Papal territories is placed beyond the shadow of a doubt. They entered Bo logna one day late,. than was at first supposed. Of course France will demand the amplest and most satisfactory explanations on this head from the METTERNICH Cabinet at Vienna, for it is to all in- tents and purposes a most flagrant and unjustifi able violation of every doctrine of nonintervention. COURT CIRCULAR. A Cabinet Council was held at half-past two o'clock yesterday afternoon, at the Foreign Office, which was at tended by the Loan CHANCELLOR, Earl GREY, the Mar quis of LANSDOWNE, Lord DURHAM, Viscount MEL BOURNE, Viscount PALMERSTON, Viscount GODERICH, the Lail of CARLISLE, the Right Hon. C. GRANT, Sir JAMES GRAHAM, and the Duke of RICHMOND. The Council remained in deliberation about two hours. Viscount ALTHORP and Lord HOLLAND were absent from the Council, the former being at his seat in Yorkshire, and the latter being prevented by the gout, which, although it has considerably abated, still confines his Lord ship to his room. The Austrian and Netherlands. Ambassadors and the Prussian Minister had long interviews with Viscount PALMERSTON, on Saturday, at the Foreign Office. The Brazilian Minister also visited the Nc,ble Viscount on Saturday. Sir JAMES GRAHAM, as First Lord of the Admiralty, held a levee on Saturday at the Admiralty, which was numerously attended by naval officers. Sir HENRY Ho- Timm, who has recently been appointed to the command of the naval force in the Mediterranean, attended the levee. The Duchess de BERRI and suite, consisting of several French Noblemen and gentlemen of rank, ar rived in Bath a few days ago, to which city her Royal Highness has been recommended by Dr. ABERCROMBIE, of Edinburgh, for:the benefit of the waters. The ceremony of making Mr. WILLIAM BROUGHAM a Master. of the Court of Chancery was per formed by Lord BROUGHAM, on Saturday, in Lincoln's Inn Hall. His Lordship being seated and covered, took the hat of the Learned Gentleman and placed it on his head, after which the newly-created Master bowed and etired. An active canvass commenced on Wednesday last, - and is now going on, in S iddleworth, for four Mem bers for the county, who will pledge themselves to the sup port of the entire Ministerial measure of Reform, without mentioning names for the present.—Leeds Mercury. The Leeds Mercury also contains a letter from a freeholder, strongly recommending his brother free holders to offer the representation of the county to Lord JOHN RUSSELL. We have what we deem authority for stating, that it has been intimated from a certain quarter to the independent electors of Windsor, that they should withhold their sentimenta in favour of Parliamentary Reform. Twice have requisitions by the most respectable inha bitants of the town been attempted to he got up in fa vour of the Reform Bill, and on both occasions hat their object been defeated by the influence above alluded to.— Windsor Express. The " certain quarter" should be distinctly named, that it may be seen who about the KING dare to oppose themselves in this disgraceful manner to the royal will. LIEUT. JAMES HOLMAN, THE BLIND TRAVELLER.—We have news of our friend at Cantin, where he was , safe and well at the beginning of last De cember. —Literary Gazette. It is rumoured that a certain fascinating actress is likely to obtain a permanent footing among the Coun tesses of the United Kingdom, by a marriage with one of the most popular noblemen of the day.— Court Journal. TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.—Some of the friends of the late Mr. Jorns HALE have subscribed 100/ to erect a monument to his memory, in Bradford church, Wilts. Mr. HALE was a commercial traveller in the western counties and South Wales, representing an eminent linen house in Bristol. REPRESENTATION OF LANCASHIRE.—A requisition has been proposed, and is now receiving the signatures of highly respectable and influential individuals, rAding within the hundred of Se'ford, soliciting WIL - LIAM HULTON PALE, Esq., in the event of the Minis terial plan of Reform being carried into effect, to become a candidate for the representation in Parliament of the county of Lancaster. It is reported that Mr. JOHN KEMBLE, son of Mr. C. KEMBLE, who has been for 50150 time at the University of Gottingen, has placed himself in such a perilous situation as to endanger his life, by having, with twelve brother students, joined the revolutionists at Coliz. It has been positively stated that the whole party were amongst those who had the misfortune to fall into the hands of the Government, and have been formally tried and condemned. Yesterday week Mr. C. KEMBLE set off suddenly fur Paris, and it is stated that the cause of his journey is to endeavour to procure intercession for his son. If this be the case there is reason for hope as to his son's safety. COWES, APRIL 2.—We learn from a Lon don correspondent that little doubt can be entertained of his MAJESTY'S gracing the Yacht Club fleet this summer with his Royal presence; and we give the information thus early to enable the members of she club to make their arrangements accordingly. The standard of our Naval Monarch is a talisman that will attract all the yachts in the kingdom ; and our port and its neighbourhood m ay anticipate all the benefits of a full season. Already has the noble Commodore ordered moorings to be laid down in this roadstead for the Falcon. She is now at Portsmouth for the purpose of being new coppered, and, as soon as finished, will be brought here and put into commissio n . The inhabitants of this island are greatly indebted to the preference, we may say pointed partiality, Lord Yalu°. ROttGrl has on all occasions evinced towards them. In a letter we have seen from his Lordship, he calls the Falcon " his Isle of Wight ship," and we know that her early equipment has materially arisen from his wits h will find em. to give en couragement to the numerous tradesmen i ployment for.---Flunts Advertiser.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY) The House sat this morning to hear Scotch Appeals.— The Lords present were the LORD CHANCELLOR, Lord KENTON, and Lord MONTAGUE. The LORD CHANCELLOR, in taking his seat, observed that understood an improper use had been made in the news papers of what had fallen from his Noble Friends and himself in the case of Fraser v. Vans Agnew, which was disposed of on S_ a ueday last. A kind of handle had been made of what had been said to induce Colonel Vans Agew to pay the amount of Mr. Fraser's claim, whereas all that was intended to be conveyed was that Colonel Vans Agnew, taking all the circumstances into consideration, might be inclined to satisfy Mr. Fra ser's demand, not as a matter of right, for in law there was not the slightest obligation on Colonel Vans Agnew to discharge the debts incurred by his predecessors, and not the slightest stigma rested upon him for not paying that which would have been the means probably of his ruin ; for if he had given way and admitted this claim as a matter of right, he would at once have laid himself open to an extent of de mand which might have utterly overwhel me d hi m . _ _ _ Mr. ROBERTSON disclaimed; on the part of his client (Mr. Fraser) any knowledge whatever of what had ap peared in the newspapers. He was not aware that the case was in the newspapers. ARRIVALS OF GRAIN IN LONDON DURING LAST WEEK. _ _ _______ W V' 0 b 7 I ot From Whence. ::FD k .:-.''• g :., • ': —.-- Ql's. Qrs. Qrs. Qrs. Qrs.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE 0' CL OCM Extract of a private letter from Paris, dated April 2 : " The money market continues very heavy, and the prices are - 'still on the decline. The Three per Cents_ closed at 45f. 80c., and the Five per Cents. at 741. 80c. This is the lowest quotation that the French Funds have experienced these last twelve years. The reasons are ma nitobl, the state of the revenue is dreadful, with an e g p end itu re of upwards of 1,500 millions of francs ( 60 millions sterling) and there exists an inefficient reve , sue upon paper of about 1,100 millions of francs, we re ?eat only upon paper, because it is well known that the Go vernment have not been able to collect any mat ;erial amount of taxes of lat••, as the people, from ill•wil 1 and want of means, are very remiss in paying their ra t e s, and add to all this, the prospect of two or three itr tmense loans, and for which new taxes must be raised to , cover the interest 9. No person can be surprised that the French fundholders have taken the alarm; but no person . expects the strength of the Court party sufficiently consoP dated to preponderate against the feelings and wishes of 13 ea r ly all the population and intelligence of France ; and th e pros pect of war adds to the general gloom, as the lea. it political report throws the funds 2 per cent. down w; ,thout any counterpoise to give elasticity to the m irket." We understand that the great speculator in the French Funds, who lately failed, and who is so well kr ;own at the English and French Exchanges, after having r ,aid his cre ditors a composition of .ss. in the pound, ha d the impu dence to appear the following day on the t Exchange at Paris, which so exasperated his creditors, the it, headed by his brother, they all rushed on him, hooting him,. and at length drove him from the Exchange. Accounts from Warsaw by the Mail this morning state that letters were received there from Zamos cof the 15th instant, stating that a whole Russian battalion was sur rounded by the Poles and obliged to lay do wn their arms, near Wehaine, and were immediately sent t o t h e a b ove fortress. Although the Russians were s possession of Lublin, General Dwernicki still maintain. 4 his position. The French Papers state that the ul imatum of the French Government, atopted in a Council, has been noti fied to I the Court of Vienna. The ulti matum it is said demands the evacuation of Bologna, or ar i immediate war; and it is assured that the Generals who are to command have received orders to hold themselves i a readiness at the first notice. Three corps d'arrnee of the Prussians have united in the Rhenish provinces, their numbers are cr imputed at 90,000 men. Two other corps are also in me t ion to form a junc tion with the above army, and they at e rganizing to take the field at a very short notice. THE FUNDS The express from Paris at length hr in go the confirma tion of the Austrians haVing entered 80/e l ;na, and the fall of 2 per cent. in the French rentes, as w II as a very war like appearance on the Continent, bu Ca go oat deal will de pend on the answer from the Emperor a f Austria to the French ultimatum. It is evident ar2cordi ig to private in • formation from Paris, that the French re e not as yet pre pared to take the field; their grand mei arid (money) is as yet wanting, and appears difficult to p rocure, therefore it is not supposed they will show fight unl it they have pro. cured a loan.

The fresh supplies of Corn this morning from our own coast were again inconsiderable The Wheat trade continues dull, but English parcels cannot be quoted any lower than last Monday; Foreign does not meet many buyers in pro portion to the quantity for sale, and may be reported Is. to 2s. per quarter cheaper than on this day se'nnight. Barley for malt ing nearly maintains last quotations, but other kinds are Is. to 2s. per quarter lower than last Monday. B eans fully maintain their late quotations. Boiling Pease are nearly unsaleable. Grey Pease are unaltered. Oats are still scarce, and may be reported rather higher, as the town consumption is tolerably good. In the Flour trade there is no variation, ?RECES ON BO Wheat, Red (old) ...... White (old).. -s. -8. Bed 0830) ... 5 55 . 635 . - Fine ....... 645. (385. Superfine..-• 705. 725.

COUNTRY CORN MARKETS. NEWCASTLE CORN MARK ET —April 2. We had a full supply of Wheat from the farmers to-day, for which the sale was dull, at a decline of 2s. per quarter on the best, and 48. on the inferior samples. The arrivals of Foreign are also large, and generally of very inferior quality. In such little business could be done, though offered on lower terms. In the Oat trade we note little alteration. Though the arrivals of Barley are small, yet the trade is dull for all but superior par cels. Of the Foreign supply, none has been yet sold for malting. Fine Malt good sale.

NEWMARKET CRAVEN MEETING. NEWMARKET, YESTERDAY AFTERNOON. Although a few Spring and Hunt Races have preceded it, the ensuing Meeting, from its intrinsic as well as col lateral importance, is looked upon as the commencement or the regular Racing season. It is gratifying to add, that in every respect, when the true interests and respectability of the turf are concerned, the patronage of his Majesty i liberally bestowed. As a guide to the ensuing races, it may not be amiss to give a short statement of the two-year olds of last year, &e. A reference to the accounts of 1830 will show that the Two-year Old Stakes were more than usually numerous, and of the fields larger; twenty-too horses that started are engaged in the Derby, and nineteen fillies in the Oaks ; of these forty-one, none but Oxygen, Circassian, Delight, and Coln•ick (the latter more from hi, Derby-like style of running than his success) have turned out better than common ; in fact, if a e three-year slide of 1831 are to be judged by the performances of the two year olds of 1830, we should unhesitatingly pronounce them a " queer lot." In the number above mentioned. the following were winners :—Circassian, Delight, Penny trumpet filly, Rattler, Colwick, Caleb, Washington, Auditor, Turk, Traveller, Antigone, Ardelia, Oxygen, Ales, Red Rose, Earwig, and Alexandrine, and of these all have sustained defeats except the first tour. We have en tered into these particulars in order to expose the singular nature of the Derby betting, one of the principal favourites for which has three times been defeated in very clever style, while another horse (Bras de Fer), who has been beaten in a still easier manner, is thought worthy of a com manding position in the odds. These particulars will abundantly prove the importance attaching to the ensuing Meetings, the results of which cannot fail of effecting an entire revolution in the betting on the Derby; it is obvious, indeed, that this stakes is as open as it was before the horses were named. There are eighty-three that have not yet come out to be opp sed against twenty-two that have been tried, and " found wanting." There is something more definite in the Oaks ; the three favourites have won their races in Eclipse-like style, and good judges say that one of them must win. The Stakes, &c. for decision in the course of the week, are in value upwards of twenty thousand pounds ; the principal is the Riddlesworth, sixteen horses are a ngaged in it, including only one public runner, Earwig, who is of too insignificant a character for further notice. The Column Stakes, next in importance, is equally open. The Oatlands is likely to be a heavy betting race. Priam receives 6lbs. from Cadland, and runs at even weights, with Oppidan, both two years older; he gives a year and 41b. to Gayhurst (who has beaten Cadland), a year and 510. to Fortitude, two years and '7lb. to Terror, and as great odds to several others ; to do all this and win, he must be the most extraordinary horse that has been bred for many years. The Claret anal Port are rich Stakes ; Priam is in the latter, and cannot fail of winning, if his running as a four year-old keep pace with his performances last year.

OTWAY CAVE.—The friends of Mr. OTWAY CAVE, electors of Leicester, have held meeting at the Bell Hotel, in that town, during the last week, and have come to the determination to put him in nomination as a candidate to represent the borough in Parliament at the ensuing dissolution. They passed a resolution which has been presented to him, expressing their sense of gra titude for the important servicas he had rendered the town, as also their admiration of his talents, unshaken tirmness, and great anxiety to promote the happiness of the people, concluding with au earnest desire to see him again the representative of the borough. Mr. OTWAY CAVE being so great a favourite, he has only to declare himself and his election is certain. TO THE EDITOR OP THE SUS. s s e,,—l am unwillingly drawn from the quiet of my closet, where I amuse myself in the examination of the passing occurrences of these eventful times--to enter the lists against either mistaken or interested persons, wi:o seem desirous to mislead the public by a misrepresentation of the views of the Continental patriots. Ido an with reluctance, and only from a senile of duty—unconnected with any party, having no interest to serve, and free as I believe myself to be from either personal re• national pre judices, I can no longer quietly allow the insidious attacks that are daily made against the patriotism of the Belgian.:, and the insinuations indulged against the tried frien is of liberty in France, who have espoused their cause, to pis unnoticed. Englishmen are a strange race, and full of contradiction —they adopt revolutions more from fancy than from principle, or, I rather fear, the majority are in fluenced from selfish views—they are a trading people. Whenever any event occurs which may be considered as injurious to those trailing interests, however beneficial it may be to the people who ate more immediately concerned in them, then, at once, is not only an indiffeience exhi bited as to the success of the resistance made to oppres sion, but even a positive condemnation is passed upon the at tempt at deliverance, and the conduct of the oppressorjus tified or excused, and his cause espoused in preference to that of the injured. The most erroneous opinions are evi dently still entertained as to the commercial importance of Antwerp, and the military consequences that roust attend its being in the possession of a Government un favourable to England. There yet exists an unfounded jealousy as to the advantages and disadvantages as regards trade, or an absurd alarm as to the political and naval superiority which France might enjoy from the possession of the citadel and port of Antwerp, or that it should be even held by the natives themselves, protected by France. „ If such be the apprehension of our politicians, for on no other ground can their interference and underhand opposition to the Belgian Revolution be supported, then it became a bounden duty on their part to adopt that liberal policy towards the revolutionists which wool() have pre vented their seeking the absolute protection of France, and much more so, as not by false policy and indefensible measures drive both countries to adopt an incorporation the lesser body' with the greater--of Belgium resigning her independence as a state, and becoming a powerful,pro vince of France. The annexation of Belgium to Ho'lant fir it never was a union, was a forced measure—it nerer fires desired by the former country—it was, indeed, eon scary to her declared wishes, and only carried into effect by the arms of the Allied Powers, who merely stu. ird their own views, without consulting either the happiness of the people, or the probability of their harmonizing with each other. The difference of their locality—of their consequent habits—the difference of their religion—of even their language—never eaten d jot) the calculationsof the wise disposers of the destinies of Europe. Their sole attention was given to the arrondissement of states, with out the least reference to the probable amalgar aa si on of man. Power was in their hands, and they determined on the exercise of that power, regard!esa of principle, and heedless of . future result.. They played the part of conquerors, and allotted so many square miles of territory with a proportionate population to different states, as if the arrangements of men were to be made, and govern., ments formed, in a similar mode as traders regulate their transactions. Rusiia required so much of Poland, under the mask of forming the Duchy of Warsaw—Auatria ex acted the possession of so much of Italy—Prussia of tale Rhenish provinces—and England, as her pariion of the spoil of Europe, resolved that Belgium should be united with Holland—elevating the former Stadthohler of H land, reinstated as King, to be the Sovereign of the two Netherlands. Such arrangements were to establish the balance of power, and to secure the tranquillity of Europe. France was to be crippled and drivr a back to her former limits, and as the guarantee of her submission the Bour bons were re-established as the legitimate dynasty of cult re by the medium of foreign ha:. onets. To give dignity to the farce, a charter was granted by the restored Louis, with the approbation of the liberal Autocrat Alexander, the plotting Metternich, the applauding Castle reagh, and the approving Duke of Wellington. In the dissolution of the French empire Belgium was unequal to take any part ; to effect her own independence at the mo ment was impossible. Having been made an integral part of France, she had no particular administration of her own—no positive Governmeut—no separate establish ment, civil or military—first occupied and plundered by the present King of Sweden with the hand of ruffians be commanded—then by the Prussians—and then passing into the hands of the English army, under the control)! of the civil administration of an Austrian Governor, Ba ton Vincent, who was to go through the comedy of for• mally giving up the country to the Stadtholder of Hol land, because, prior to the memorable Revolution of France, . which finally ingulphed more than one quarter of Europe into its vortex—Belgium had been an appendage of the lamentations of ee ti Baron ns h with Austria, di ff erent acts of the co me dy were per f ormed, w i th various interludes. ronVincen Vincent were highly interesting —h e formed a. littl e k not of those Nobles who hadstill T retained sighed to be restored to her autbority—he communicated his regret- at the final separation which had been decreed by the higher Powers, hie good and Imperial Majesty having a kinder reeling towards Lombardy and Venice than to the Netherlands. Belgium was too remote from the seat of his empire—was separated by intervening States—could not readily receive this paternal protection, and, by her contiguity to France, Austria was endangered with a perpetual interruption of amicable relations with that country, greatly injurious to her Italian project?, and highly detrimental to the peace of Europe., Austria feigued to weep over her.former children, and relucta }raised _ them over to the cold fraternity of Holland; Vat her real indifference to the alienation was, that thellgians had re peatelly evinced an attachment to their 'rights, and hid al ways proved refractory whenever they were attacke I. The scene of delivery was as. cold as any transaction can be conceived to he, which occurs between the stiff thr mality of the Austrian and the cold calculation of the Dutchman. The English. troops, who were the principal performers, alone gave a gaiety to the city of Brussels on the arrival and instalment of the King of Holland, an the future Sovereign of the incorporated countries. Th e people of every class were quite indifferent and totally pas sive. England hal previously placed the command ot her army in the lands of the Prince of Orange, havialg pro. muted him to the rank of Lieutenant-General. He, how ever, exercised his command comp'etelv as an 'Englishman and not as a foreigner, and as the future beir to the throne of the new dynasty. His staff was entirely English, and the military chest was entirely supplied feom the Treasury of England ; and thus Uelgium was passed over to Hol land, more as an acquisition of territory and population s 1 than as united by consanguinity, or identified by mutual interests. The one par ay gie!ing her hand because she was directed to do so—the other yielding her's because she had no power of withboldia lg it--was it to be expected that such. an union could be •, , rodtective of happineee—could lie binding and particulaaay on the part of the reluctant party ? The characters of the parties being totally opposed to each other—neither possessing those qualities which coull foster the ' el ope of even a continued and undistuthed harmony. r. r .olland was encumbered with debt—Belgium was totally ' free—Xiolland was heavily taxed—Belgium lightly— Bele,ium had manufactoriel—establishments--the produce of which passed into France. As a part of the kingdom of the Netherlands—all intercourse with France was cut off—shut out from Germany by the interdict of Prussia— Belgium became a tributary appendage to a country which deprived her of her leading interests, and rendered her but little benefit in the participation she afforded of her colonial intercourse. The Belgians, a light and gay , peop'e, fond of amusements, and gratified by- the parade of a Court. 'The Dutch, a cold and solemn race; in different to every other pursuit but that of gain. The King himself a very Dutchman—simple arid retired-.-. more occupied with viewing his own wealth, than pro . moting the general welfare. A trader and not a statesman —he might be esteemed in Holland; he never could be beloved in Belgium jealous of the popularity of his son—whose gaiety waa congenial to the Belgians— he would not—as he ought to haw done, deputed to him the Vice-royalty of Belgium; but he would. himself exercise the full authority of Sovereign., and, from the very commencement of his reign,. laid the foundation, of the dismembeament of his kingdom.
