SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. By the arrival of mails from Renders and Holland yesterday, we have received Flemish journals to the oils inst., and Dutch of the same date. Account from the Hegtie, Antwerp, tool Brussels reach the sth. We have inserted wider the ps oiler head. in !mother part of our Paper, every thing that ap pears of importance re-pet:deg Belgium either it the public prints or in our private corropendence. Political events in that distraeed country are pros ceedieg exactly in the course which might have beer expected from the unhappy impulse which hail beet given them. The flame of insurrection seem, spreading in the Southern Province , , and the PIM visional Governmeut of Brussels has in collar quenea assumed a more decided attitude of independence. It is endeavouring to raise an army,—to organze civil government,—to reduce the fortresses still it. the hands of the King's troops,—to encourage popular resistance to the Dutch,—to provide for the expenditure of the view State by appropiatieg the taxes levied under former laws,—to restore the ad ministration of justice,—and to establish an effectual police for the capital. It has accordingly appointed the governors of prov4ices (some of which have not yet been conquered), dieplacell the law-officers of the tribunals fur others of its own choice ,• and given military promotion to, II those officers w h o have deserted their former master. , Though it has not yet been jiiined by any of 'the persons of nails who treated with the King in behalf of their cont trymen before the late attack, it may soon exlaic such an :recession of diameter and con-equsnre. M. de Stassart, who was in 113 French Prefect at the Hague,—who Required his notions of Belgic liberty in the school of Napoleon, heel who hue lately been able to turn to the account of his pis triotism that hatred which he inspired by his official exactions, has giVen in his adhesion to de Pomo and his colleagiics, iviro, after eovering him with ridicule in a correspondence published some time ngo, may perhaps new make him governor of ti province. But the most important transaction of time ruling power is a decree signed by the frier members of the Provisional Government, fixing the future destiny of Belgium, or in other words proclaiming its political inde— pendence. The issue of such u decree was of course to be expected, in order to put an end to all interference on the part of the Royal Govern ment, and to prevent atiy attempt at negotiation far a federative re-union of. Belgium with Holland tinder the Name Crown. The ennrrier des Pays Bar, whose editors at present dire et or emistitute the Provisional Government,lol announced, some days ago, that it was necessary to take up their position on the ground of independence, in order to defeat the projects of those %silo might be satie , fied with less. "this official organ of peter announces that no branch of tire family of Orange shall ever reign in Bllock. Ott the Out of the King, the sepera tient of the Belgic from the Dutch provinces has been pronounced, in the appointment of a eornmis sion to , carry the measure. into execution. This commission is enjoined never to forget, " that the object of the revisal of the fundamental law is to guarantee the two great divisions of the kingdom from the influence which one might exercise over the other;" so that the demand which wits ad dressed to the Prince of Orange on time 11 of Sep tember, and on which no decision had been taken till the repulse from Brussels, is now to be fully granted. In order that his Royal Highness may )lave, the best chrome of completing a work which was first announced in his presence, and be able to save for his family a remnant of those dominions which be was willing to see administered on a view system, he has been sent by his father to Antwerp, with a proper assortment of enunsellore, to en courage the loyalty of those inhabitants who still maintain their allegiance ' and to invite the disaf fected 'from the standard of revolt. In the former nbject he may to a eertuin extent succeed, at least so far as Antwerp is concerned; but the temper and principles of the ruling junta at Brussels, pre clude the hope of attaining the latter. Indeed, their decree of independence seems to have been ex pressly issued in anticipation of such a conciliatory policy, and with the view of defeating it. In this state of things, both the Belgic and French Papers seem to think it their duty to examine the feelings of certain European Powers with respect to the re. cent events in the Netherlands, and to discuss at great length the question of their interference in Bel gic affairs. They even express their surprise that the English press has been so long silent ; and as cribe this silence to some portentous projects of me ditated war and inversion, which it dare not yet re veal. With a little reflection they might have dis covered a different cause. The question of armed interviation in this ease has not beep discussed with us for the best of all possible reasons,—namelys— that nue policy on the point has long been considered ar settled,—that no foreign Government has pro. posed to interfere, and that nee charge Las been brought against this country of abandoning its avowed principles. It would thus have been absurd to combat propositions which nobody made, and to deny intentions which nobody entertained. No matt is called upon to be the champion of his wife's vir tue, till her purity is questioned or her reputation as sailed. Out of the present divisions in the Nether lands, and anarchy it: Belgium, only three results de serving the attention of other Governments are pos sible, and in all of them interference would he either impolitic or useless. The Belgic provinces may, Ist, be satisfied with the grant of their original demand of separate administrations under the same crown; nri 2dly, they may declare themselves independent under the Prince of Orange; or, idly, they may . erect themselves into a federative or any other republic. It is pleb) dint in the first case any intervention would be directed, not against the Belgic insurgents, but against Me King o t f the Ne therlands himself, who now proposes and is prepared to sanction the separation; that in the second case it would endanger the new throne of the Orange tinnily, to be erected in Brussels; and, in the third Case, that it would bear the odious character of in terposing to resist certain principles of government, and to dictate to an enlightened people under whet forms of order or kind of institutions they shall live. But it is said the Belgic provinces, after renewed:sic the merriment of their preseet Sovereign, may thrcere theinselvis into the arms of France, and thus, by aggrandizing the territories of thin French Crown, and gtving Frence a new litre of fortresses, destroy the existing behtece of power in 'Europe To this our reply is brief and conclusive--that in such cir cumitences the interposition of Eogland or of her Allies would entirely change its diameter. It would not be interference with Belgium, but a war against France, which would be in possession of the los tresses before we could reach. them. Our quarrel would then be not with the Provisional Government of 4e Potter and Co., for giving their country up to France, but with France for accepting the pre sent,—not with rebels for stealing the fairest jewel from the eroWn of their Sovereign to sell it to a foreign Monarch, hut with that Monarch for making the putchase—in short (to use Old Bailey languege),, not with the thief, but with the receiver of the stolen {goods.' The war in such a case would be as legiti mate, according to the code of international policy, Ite if France had actually invaded Belgium and taken the fortresses by storm. The treachery or rebellion of one party cats never be pleaded as an excuse for the ambitious or dangerous aggrendisetnent of another; and France would tie a* guilty efts breach of faith towards her allies in acceinieg the willing allegiance: of the Belgian*, as in compellin the re luetent submission of Geneva or fa g W h yv le t9 o t u h r tk_ 6 ll l l 4 at a t i l l ii: l tt o t:r o ci figo r . e 4 a v e il e. . o r ari e ee l !--- re e tt ia i re l sg i ainat c l oy interfe l re l nee nrit i on-in Pa e iYI ris de vinces, either on the pert of their wi own C>4etVCrtlrrtetet or on that of any other Power. F..veei in s re eun pipers assur e us th at they arm siot d e ei tot i e o f accession of Belgium to Fiatuse, an d are so mutest as to allow that the Belgians can govern them ee l ves as well as they could be governed by the citieen King On the other hand, the inhabitants of see' Belgic provinces cannot be very anxious for a con nexion which would entirely destroy their political importance, by Merging their independence, their name, and their privileges, into'a great kingdom, of which they would only compose, as formerly, eight gar nine departments. We need not advert here to he question of the fortresses, the difficulties of which would be increased by foreigteintetference.— Nor need we anticipate a protracted struggle be• tween the different divisions of the preeent Belgic wonarchy,which wonbl at last require the interpo iition of other Powers, on the principle of general nuisance, similar to that which led them to mediate in the affair:4'd Greece.—Times. We received last night Dutch Papers, from some of which we subjoin extracts. One of them, the filainfe/shad, in an article under the head lntwetp, states, that though all is tranquil there, ihunks to the strong garrison, " the spirit that pre. • veils is miserable ; the joy ut the triumph of the people of Brussels anti other rebel towns may be read in every eotieteoance; even the best disposed peak tigni# l4 4 the Government, and for the insur gents; those who are silent are so from interest or fear." This, we have, no doubt, is a very faithful picture of the state of things at Antwerp, and assum ing it to be so (the quarter whence it comes is in its !avow), wit may thus see what slight foundation t het e was for concluding that a separation of interests would lead the people of ,Antwerp to abandon their coun trymen for- the Dutch. In all - cases of strong ea. Initial excitement, calculations of individual interests en for very little. We might as well suppose, if the Unims between Englatid and Ireland were to be dis solved, Liverpool would join Ireland on account of the Irish provision trade being almost engrossed by Liverpool. if there is one place more th a n another where we should expect to find hostility to the Dutch it would be Antwerp, Which, from being the first commercial city in Europe, sunk to compara tive in , igellicatiee in e me4 e qu e nce of the closing o f the navigation of the Scheldt, end the eonsequeet transfer of its trade -to Amsterdam. The memory of those grievances, of the duration of ceoturies, ire not obliterated in a day. The attempt to coax the people of - Antwerp, by making it the residence of the Belgian Costa, will fail in a moment of national excitement. - It is holding up die people of Ant werp to the rest of their countrymen as base enough to abandon their Catlise for the paltry bribe of the residence of a Dutch Prince and his courtiers among them. The Paper above ulluded to contains a para graph purporting, " that for the present only Nines treelit and Antwerp will be occupied till a Prussian Army. has entered Belgium ; this will happen sooner than its, perhaps, thoneht, us 3,000 men are already assembled at Aix-la-Chapelle, and troops are daily tdratieittg to the frontiers of Belgium." We are inclined to believe that a Prussian army will not enter Belgium, and that the Dutch Journalist allows his wkhes tb warp his judgment. These are not times for Kings to give way to fits •of caprice mind Tort with the happiness of their subjects. The German's, and more particularly the Prussians, have not yet forgotten their sufferings when the French • were.their musters--sefferings brought upon them • by the Treaty of Piluitz and the invasion by the Duke of 'Brunswick. The Germans have more than once experienced to their cost, Quicquid (Jenrette Reges, pleetuntur Achivi.” If they "vital to avoid being trampled on, they must place themselves in a state which shall secure them from being used its instruments for trampling on others. We protest against till interference of States with the Adis of, each other. If the King of the Netherlands can gain over the people of Bel, Oen), either by force of arms or persuasion, let him do so in God's name. But let it once be under stood that neighbouring States shall be allowed, on any pretext whatever, to Interfere between a King and his subjects, and there is no amount of opptes sion which. will not be thereby - sanctioned. To se cure Kings against the revolt of their subjects is to remove the most powerful check aguinst misgovern ment. All interference, therefore, between the sub jects of a particelar State and their Ruler, whether on the pretence that the balance of Europe requires such and such States to be of is particular magni tude, the tranquillity of Europe requires that there should be no republics in It, ought to be rigorously proscribed, as enablitig Sovereigns to guarantee each other against their respective subjects, and making the interests of tuitions subsidiary to the convenience or caprice of Princes. We are astonished that a contemporary (the Globe), who, as well as ourselves, condemns the principle of interference, should appear so eager for the return of the Belgians to .subjection to their late Ruler : " There seems (he says) two plans fur the settlement of the affair* of Belgium—the one,, its establishment as a *o perate independent State, which, though not strong enough to defend its.lf against a great power, might be secured, tike Switzerland, by the common consent of the great States of Europe; the other, its continued union with Holland by means of a federal system. if we may judge from the Belgian Papers, it is the first of these arrange ments which those who are now at the head of affairs at Brussels desire. , The second will be probably more ac ceptable to the powers of the Continent , and if so, it will be wise for the Belgians to purchase peace and security at the price of it. There is no reason apparent why, with a separate and free constitution, the Belgians should not live as happily under their present King us any other. There is this marked distinction between his case and that of Charles X. ; the latter violated the laws, and tried to break down a Charter which was working well for the people; the King of the Nether• lands adhered to the Charter, and availed himself of his powers; he was the victim of one of the fancies of the Congress of Vienna—the scheme of incorporating two na tions, with little regard to their interests, and none to their prejudices; because it suited the arranged plan of marking boundaries on the map of Europe. lie had not tact enough to know all the difficulty of his position (perhaps no tact would have enabled a Monarch to overcmne it), but no one has accused him of the want of the probity and integrity, necessary to administer honestly liberal insti ikions. We repeat our hope that the Belgians will act on the wise principle of insisting on no changes greater than their interests require ; and above all things, when they have secured all subatential changes in their inutile time which they need. not to sacrifice themselves to a passion for names and forms. They can obtain real free dom without the name of a republic, and real independence without absolute separation from Holland." We would put . the powers of the Continent en-' tirely Out of the question, because they heve- no right to demard that. the arrangements of the Bel- gionS should be acceptable to them any more than the Belgians have a right to insist on t he King of Prussia giving a Constitution to his subjects. Ver. innately the times are favourable to the exercise of independence, and of this the Belginos are fully aware. Having then nothing to dread from their neighbours, they arc at liberty to consult their interests, and we think their interest distinctly pret scribes : to them the exclusion of the. House of Grunge from ruling over them. They could never be hiinpy under that family. We will 'suppose a separation from Holland, with the, King at the head of the federation. Tim' King, of the Netherlands would still have the nomination of the Belgian Mi ni,teri, and lie would bet strongly inelined'to sive a preference to those Belgians Who had taken his side m the disturbances. But allowing even that this were not the case, . every man baulked' in his am bition would attribute his want of success- to. the persecution of the Government, and the Govern. merit would, therefore, be constantly charged with partiality whatever course it pursued. The Belgians would believe, that to have vindisated the cause of Belgium, was a crime in the eyes of their Government. We are supposing all the while that the Belgians have, as otir contemportuy insi 111111E0Si little CHUMs fig comploint against the Go vernment they kave tiet aside. But the Belgians themselves would hardly have had recourse to arms to set aside their Government, if they had not deemed it. insupportable. honest or not honest, the Belgians will naturally conclude that the kiever`eign who could reduce them to the necessity of embracing' the horrid'ulternative of war, is a very unfit person: to. have the guidance of their affairs, now that:they haVe the liberty of choice. In fact, tort:some their allegiance is to 'pronounce sentence of eondetunation on themselves, for it is saying that the conduct of the Sovereign was not such as to justify their appeal to the sword. But can such nu event as the assault at Brussels, in which two thousand Burghers have perished—can the attempts of the Government te reduce the Belgians by force of arias--attempts which have failed for want of means, hut not for want of will—take place without leav ing in the minds of the people of Belgium a feeling of deadly hatred towards the Sovereign ? It may be easy for a metaphysician in his closet to speculate on the impolicy of giving way to passion on such occasions; but can the people be brought with the same ease to this state of indifference ? Should the people of Belgium, then, after driving the Dutch from their soil and triumphing over their King, go to that King with this declaration :—" We bate you for the calamities to which you have sub jected us, for involviog us in all the horrors of civil war ; but we entertain, at the same time, so high un idea of the wisdom of the Government which drove us to the desperate expedient of resist ance, that we entreat to he once more placed under its protecting shield." If a nation can only be happy under a King, surely any man would answer better as the founder of a new dynasty than the man who reSuMed his sway with such a formid able obstacle to overcome as the hatred and resent ment, borne- towards him by a people threntened with subjugation, and who only escaped that cala mity through their own bravery. I3tu, for the sake of the great moral lesson, and waiving the considera tion of the reluctance which the Belgians may well be supposed to entertain to a return to their allegi ance to the K;ng of the Netherlands, it is to be wished for by the people of every country that the Belgians should remain unconnected with that Sove reign. This result would serve to impress on Kings the necessity of never allowing the discontent of their subjects to reach the extremity which renders it desirable for them to draw the sword in self defence. Kings are made for the people, and not the people for Kings ; and when the discontent at tains such a height us to overcome in a people the natural aversion to such an extremity as armed re sistance, it amounts to a proof that the Government has grossly misconducted itself. Whenever a Sove reign, therefore, attempts to maintain his sway by the employment of arms against his subjects, he &- dares that his sway ought to terminate. To allow a King to assault his own capital, to plough up its streets with grape-shot, and to slaughter the citi zens, without !mitering, us the consequence of failure. the forfeiture of his throne, is to encourage tyranny, and to nourish in rulers a brutal disregard of their subjects. Whoever, therefore, the people have the power, it is their duty, for the sake of the example, that Kings may see that there are limits which they may not exceed with impunity, to exclude for ever the transgressor front any sovereignty over them. l No matter whether he failed through crime, like Charles of France, or a stupid obstinacy, like the King of the Netherlands, the consequences of civil war are so dreadful, that the punishment of him who causes it ought to be signal. We therefore have no hesitation in saying, that if a Sovereign Can be ob tainted between Brussels and Morocco, the head of the House of Orange ought to be excluded.—Morn ing Chronicle. The present state of the Netherlands, which de servedly occupies so much of public attention in this country, as well us on the Continent, shows how dangerous it is for a 'Government to attempt to rule a people without consulting their interests and feel ings, and how utterly hopeless the state of that Go vernment becomes which breaks faith with the people, and attempts to carry illegal measures by, fraud and deceit. It also holds out a warning to at bitritry Governors, and shows that the slightest over sight may, under particular circumstunces, over throw their whole system of Government. Had the King of the Netherlands acted with common pru dence and good faith on the late emergency, all the calamities which are now accumulating on his head might have been averted, and Europe might have been spared the misery of witnessing a commotion, which, but for the most upright and disinterested conduct of two great Powers may yet excite a ge neral war. His conduct in this extraordinary affair completely belies that character for good sense and fair dealing which he has so long enjoyed. On the disturbance breaking out at Brussels, he with appa rently good faith—and, as was believed at the time, with the best intentions—summoned an extraordi nary meeting of the States-General, and appealed to them for advice and assistance. his son was sent to Brussels to hear the complaints of the people. He was received with respect, listened to their grievances, and promised to lay them before their Sovereign. Affairs were thus so fur ami cably arranged, and the inhabitants, trusting to the, hitherto upright conduct of the King, and the promise of his son, were waiting the decision of the States-General, when, to their utter astonishment, the King sent a hostile army against them, and issued a proclamation, threaten lug vengeance'on those who had introduced a state of things; the Consitleiation of which he had pro mised to rder to the representatives of the people. The manner in which this threat was attempted to be carried into effect was only equalled by'the fully and wickedness of the attempt itself. The troops, in stead of blockading th e pl ace , w hich, in all proba bility, would have surreedered in a few days—in stead of acting with vigour, which in popular corn motions is every thing—entered the city witheut precaution, exposed themselves to the vengeance of a few ringleaders, and, after firing some shuts, and committing some excesses, just sufficient to excite universal hatred, retired, before a handful of citizens, in disorder and disgrace. The consequence is, that all the strong places in the Netherlands---the strongest, perhaps, in, the world, and which it would require clunpaigns for the first military PoWer in Europe to conquer- , --are falling one after another into the hands of half-armed citizens. Perhaps there,never was an instance in any country of such gross mismanagement, where so little was necessary to conciliate the good-will Of the great body of the people, and where Such uncalled-for measures were taken to irritate a whole population. 'I he conse quence of all this conduct, however, is trifling, as ,regards the King of the Netherlands, or the people of Belgium, when compared with its effect on the poli tics and prospects of Europe. It is easy to gather from the leading journals of Paris and Brussels what 'hopes it has excited, and what objects the prime movers have now in view ; and it will re quire the utmost firmness, integrity, mid good faith, on the part of Great Britain and France, to coun teract their purposes. Their first project is to de elate the Netherlands an independent State and their next will be to unite it with France. Those who know the feelings of the higher and more in fluential classes caneot : doubt for a moment that the one event will follow the other as a natural ,conse quence. Ever since the dissolution b e t we e n F rance and the Netherlands, in 1814, the B e l g i ans have been casting a longing look towards France ; they fond o f imitating the manners of that country, of speaking the !impinge, and looking up to t h e French as brethren and protectors; an d t h ese feel ings have been daily gaining strength i n consequence of their unnatural alliaece with the Dutch. All this has created a - community of feeling with a strong party in France, which it . would be dangerous to thwart by any violent or Sudden measures. G r eat Britain is, perhaps, the onlypoWer that can advise or act with, effect in a crisis so full of danger. The King of the Freech may disclaim all wish for, a junction of Belgium with France, but it is impos sible to suppose that he can look without compla cency on a people so well loaned to him, or that a "refusal to accept so tempting an offer would not raise u!) against him all the - Bormapartists, R epu bli cans , a nd . no small number of th e ' libe ra l R oyalists, in Fiance. Ruisia, Austria, and 'W e i g h t, em - out of: the question, "particularly th e two l att e r Powers.— Prussia has alseady enough on her hands. The pro mise of a Constitution, so unequivocally given be fore the-fall of Buommerte, and so shatnefelly broken afterwards, . has :weakened her strength by. one half. Lotnbartly and Hungary, in :the present excited stare of Europe, would require - no small part of the Austrian army to repress rebellion ; and Russia will be reluctant to bring her armies again in contact with the liberal States of Europe, where they im bibed those ideas of freedom which so generally pre vail, and which, at the commencement of the present reign, nearly overturned the throne. To England!, therefore, •is left, as usual, the difficult task of pr,- serving the balance of Europe, and see cherish the hope that her ittlere will act in this emergency with more. prudence and firmness than their predecessor. - on similsr. occasions.. In order to strengthen her own aim, and prepare assistance for a crisis which in all human probability cannot be long delayed, let them attend to the wishes of the people by cultiva ting economy, and by introducing gradually a rational and moderate reform. Let her advise the King of Prussia to redeem hia broken pledge by granting a Constitution to his people, and thereby conciliating their affection", in order to place at his disposal an army which ought to be so essential in preserving the balance of power in Europe. ' Some similar ad vice might not be thrown away on Austria. The mild Government of the Grand Duke of Tuscany shows that the Italians, by kind treatment, may be rendered faithful subjects. As to Russia and Spain, we know lint whet advice would be effective. The Emperor of Russia probably considers himself ton powerful to require adv'ec, and the Kong of Spain too bigoted to listen to it till compelled - by the in surrection of his subjects.—Morning Herald. • That the. present military attitude of several of the States of Europe is calculated, at first sight, to sow distrust as to the maintenance of peace during the operation of the present crisis, we readily allow; but on loolCng more narrowly into the causes of such a proceeding, it will be perceived that they neither proceed from a euspicion of " coming war," nor from a determination to interrupt the general harmony which, most happily for all parties, has hitherto prevailed. That the King of Spain, for example, should send reinforcements to the fron tiers, is natural, when his kingly power is threatened with overthrow—that the head of the House of Orange should also cull out the militia of his king. dom, is no less natural, seeing that he has all but lost one-half of his dominions, and that fears are entertained of the safety of the other—that the King of Prussia also should double the force of the garrison on his western frontier, it is only an act of prudence strictly demanded by the duty of self preservation, and in no way indicative of a dispo sition to make war upon his neighbours; and, finally, that the King of the French should edit 108,000 men to the present military force of France, neither astonishes nor induces us to enterta'n ap prehensions for the general peace of Europe; for, with regard to the latter levy, it is necessary, in the first place, that the losses sustained by the' army of Africa should be made good-- T sceondly, that the losses sustained by the military generally, during the revolution, and by natural deaths, should be repaired—sand, thirdly, that a new spirit should be infused into the army (which had been greatly corrupted by the Bourbon Government), by the introduction into its ranks of men partaking of the spirit, and concerned in the support of the present order of things. These rea sons, along with the prudence, if not necessity, of maintaining; a proper military - attitude, in the pre sent agitated state of Europe, will go far, we think, to account for the levy of more than 100,000 men, which has just been ordered, without. dragging into the account an intention of interfering in the affairs of Belgium, or of repressing, by meatus of the army, any attempts at counter-revolution in France itself. An evening print, indeed, observes, that " the idea of preserving order in France, and main taing a proper political position by, means of the National Guard alone, was absurd;• and us no lover of constitutional liberty can object to the use of regular troops for the purpose of pro tecting his country from invasion, and maintain ing its institutions, the present levy in France will not, we imagine, give dissatisfaction to any class there except the _Republicans, who have built hopes upon the weakness of their rulers," —hereby plainly declaring, that one. p ar t of ie object of the French Government, in calling out .such a numerous force, is mote for the purpose of preventing disturbances at home, then for that of repelling invasion, or making war upon other countries; but the assertion is based on pure igno rance of the teal state of the country, and the true objects contemplated by the re-establishment of the National Guard, That patriotic and truly national force is especially entrusted with the pr6servation of the peace at home—it is fully adequate to its main tenance in all cases where a majority of the nation is not arrayed against the existing order of things, and the idea, in consequence of the new levies being intended to repress a counter-revolution, or to strike terror into the clubs, is supremely ridiculous. Neither the King or his Ministers durst meditate such a project, and were they to attempt to carry it into effect, it: might cost them their heads, and the King his crown. The National Guard is the legitimate defence of the country against seditious movements ; and being fully equal to the task. of repressing them when partial or isolated, it would be neither more or less than a pure provocation of revolution to think of employing any other.— ilforning Advertiser. .

DOLBY'S COOK'S DICTIONAAL—in speak ing of this new work on the important concerns of the Dinner Table, the Atlas says, ". Why should not Dousr be as great a man as JOHNSON ? He is cook at the Thatched-house Tavern, anal the' rterature of the'fi ying pan must not be neglected. This is the first time, we believe, that the terms of the art of cooking have . ever been reduced to a form of ready reference. The plan is good, and presents palpable advantages. The cook has done his part well ; no man Understands the etymologies of gastronomy better ; and he has given us, in a very phi losophical style, the language of the kitchen, reduced to its true grammatical elements. 'We like the book it is worth the attention of all housekeepers." REPRESENTATION Oi LIVERPOOL.
