It beats ante the sth instant, at the Hague, after the return of the Prince of Orange from his mission to the southern provinces. The King, in this calm anti 'paternal appeal to the consciences and judgment of those whose alarming conduct had produced it, .begins by .stating,. With reference to the disturbances in the Flemish capital and elsewhere, that et the first news of those disasters, he had hastened to convoke an extra ordinary meeting of the States-General, which, Retarding to the term; of the fundamental late, repre. sent the whole people of Belgium; His Majesty next 'allles to the fact of his two sons belting proceeded to the Flemish provinces, and to the merciful and generous manner in which they had executed their mission. He calculates upon the assistance of the States e Getieral, and invites them to examine whe ther the evils, of which the country so loudly com plains, arise from any defect in the national institu tions, and if it is possible to modify them, and particularly if the relations established by treaties anti the fundementid law, between the two grand divisions of the kingdom, should, with a view to the common interest, be changed or modified.' This last passage constitutes, indeed, the essence of the proclamation, considered with reference to futurity; and it is impossible, either to esteem too highly the good sense by which it was dictated, or to exaggerate to ourselves the vest and manifold consequences to which it may lead. One mem , her only of a legislative power, and possess. ing by himself alone no attributes beyond those of an executive officer under a free constitution esta blished by law, the, King of the Netherlands could have replied in no different language from that which he has used, to the demand of his Flemish subjects for a separation between their country and the old " Milted Provinces." What the funtlametital law of Henreid and Flanders had " 4 " 11 ' in the nature of a national compact, it was absurd to ask their limited Itheierch to destroy. The dissolution of the Union with `wetland or with Ireland might as well be effected ivy ,an English King, in answer to an address, or a proclametion in the Gazelle, as the breaking up of the Belgic constitution by the Sovereign who was its creature, andsvho hay no power independent of his Parliament. The King, therefore, see repent, iii submit' ing all to the Stateseoeneral, has ret urned not merely time best, lint the only reaaohable and intel ligible answer to the petition or' memorial from Brussels. dust after the above sentences were Written ' we received by the Dutch mail an address from the members of the States-General, then (on the 3d 'emelt) at Brussels, explaining, so as not to be at ill 'misunderstood, the full extent of the sepa ration demanded by the Flemish people. This is expressed to be "a complete separation between the southern and northern provinces—without any other point qf contact. than the reigning dynasty." Stich language is stiffieiently explicit. The eel -al lele found for such ten arrangement, by the Editor ef a Brussels newspaper, are Sweden and Nerwey— Russia and Poland—Austria and Hungsry. Editor might have added Blighted end irehind e or Englund and Scotland, before the union of these re• spective crowns. Must we remark that the tie of a common sovereign was found bribe' eicperience of the British empire too feeble to ,bind together its three grand divisions ? Every man of the least su lenity having foreseen that, constructed on its for-. mer principles, the federal state would ere long dis solve itself, the identity being but fictitious, the,dis traction real. The example of Norway and Sweden is, en unsafe one, the alliance between them being yet so recent. Those of Austria with Hungary, end Basile with Poland, are scarcely applicable, seeing that both Sovereigns being all but ebsolate,—one will, and' one miteaste, rule their respective realists. It is the diStinetion of provinces which in arbitrary Otis Vellums:es must he considered. ermined, and the in corporation real e s() far us policy and power are con cerned, Fueling that it would lie beyond our pro viuce to dismiss for the people ofHolland and the Netherlands the practicability of their remaining tinier one Prince, with distinct and independent le gislatures, we are nevertheless bound to state *atis guisedly, that as the kingdom of the Netherland' itself MO made by the treaty ef London in 1814, to which treaty four great European Powers were parties, end us the !‘cetoplete, tioioe" of the two countries was the very foutidetion, ;mid, iteletl'es awe of that treaty, there area other parties, besides the King and the Flemings to that comps% who may be visited by some alarm, on learning that in.: tread of me " complete union.," complete separatiots li'hiiicefrirth to characterize the relations of Holland. and the Netherlands.—Tioes. • • Wttehave received a copy of the second edifier' otl a latter to the. Duke of Wellington, on the .propriety and legality of creating Peers for • life with prece dents, the first edition having been confined to a private circulation. It is altogether ' an able and learned productio n . A House of Peer* can only exist. by naming the !louse of Commoes, or at leas' the majority of its Members, It is essential to its power tout those individuate who from time to time rise to political importance in the ranks of the com monalty, by the possession of boroughe, or of large estates influeeeing the return of Members, should'be elevated to the Peerage. lint while the strength of the House is preserved by the elevation, from timer to time, of Commoners distinguished for wealth and infieence, it is well known' that the House consists not only of rich and influential individuals, but of number or influential Members whom we have some. tutees styled " titled mendicants;" and who, poss timing a vote, count for es newts individually ins the Opette e liewie as the richeet of the body, and sop writ woolly to be managed by the Ministers. "rhe great Peers could ,very. well dispense with these, their poorer brothresi, -- who, possessing no influence ecciaeary teethe upholding the order, come in for 0 share of the good things. It is quite clear that if the House could purify itself from its poverty.

The two last Sovereigns of this country were no friends to the Peerage, having, in their ,numerous treations, bur deemed the body with es number .of individuuls panorama of eikqut4e wealth.

Assuming that the working of the Constitution demands that the Upper House should command a majority of the votes of the Lower, it is obvious that the excessive multiplication of needy Peers tends to. frustrate that object. The needy Peers contribute, as we have &lid, nothing to the strength of the machine, but they can arrest its motion if not bought over. Now, the command of the Lower House can only be obtained by the distribution of money, or money's worth, among those who pos ses the suffrage, in the proportion of their in fluence. If there is any deficiency in the supply to the electors, or if they do not receive what cor responds with their expectations, the borough, or Other plate, slips from the patron into other hands. We have seen (luring the late election, that a key lies , been found to open many places hitherto con sidered elose, and we may he assured that in a fa ture :election, means will be found of improving upon the last. It is obvious, therefore, that the more the resources of the nation are bestowed on the beggatly part of the order, the more the power of the order in i n fluencing electors, on which its importance hinges, is enfeebled. The writer of the pamphlet has shown, that down to the reign of George 11., from the earliest periods, it was common to creute Peerages for life. He proposes a return to that system in the case of in dividualsi Hot ;possessed of competent estates, on whom it may be advisable to confer the honour. In the case of civil, naval, or military services, a life Peerage may be given, or " if the services rendered were of so extraordinary a description as to call for an extraordinary reward, an, hereditary Peerage might be created, to whieh an telt:quite estate pur chased by the country should be inseparably united; and as the public money could not be appropriated without the sanction of Ptirlitunent, it is probable that only splendid services of the most important nature would be thus rewarded." The Bar, hOw ever, would principally supply the life Peerages. " One of the most fertile sources from which the. Peerage has been augmented is the Bar—and it is .more especially with reference to the profession of the Law that creations for life only seem extremely desirable." It seems from some quotations from the Historical Discoarscs on Several 'Occasions, by Sir Edward Walker, written at the Hague, in February, 16.53-1, that at that early period great inconvenience had beet) felt from the great additions to the Peerage, which he even considers to have been one of the chief causes of the civil wars. After noticing the privileges of the nobility, Sir Edward says,— "" Tittle are the privileges of the msjor part of the Nobility, and by whitk especially inthe time of the Par they. aro in a Capatity of advancing or opposing the good of the King and kingdom. To add to this, all those degrees of nobility are hereditary, and so a perpetual power and interest in them and their posteritien. As, tSerefore, were their numbers but few, it might be oh objected they might he too coniiderahle and dangerous; so, on the contrary, they being numerous and not at all to be satisfied, have done more mischief by becoming factious atad affecting popularity than could have been apprehended from their ambition. however, a medium were &- Arable ; for as the kingdom may be resembled to a body, whereof the King is the head, the Nobility is the arms, and the people the rest ; so to have the arms so strong as by their motion to tire or destroy both the head and the body, or so weak as neither to be able to serve the head or help the body, would be dispropottionable and darter:lto." These creations of Peers " Abated the King's revenues by fill out of the Ex chequer, but most of all by pensions and gifts to enable many of them to support their dignities ; whereas had they been left in u private condition, they would have had less confidence to demand, and entailer gratifications would have satimtied them. But that which essentially was de structive, was that the Xing was not in a capacity to graqy them all, which had this ill safest, that some of them grew envious, others factious, because they were not employed ; others ungrateful, because denied something they aimed et, how highly soever obliged." We huvo all along assumed that a country cannot be well governed in which an Aristocracy does not, by means of rotten boroughs and otherwise, choose the Representatives for the people. The great clif. lieulty, however, is to keep the Aristocracy in such a state thus the funds %%lung from the people may not be bestowed on any who are not. aeceasuty to' the row' of, the Representatives. If there be not sufficient to corrupt those who return the Represen tatives, _adieu to the powor of .the Aristocracy.--!- Aincning Chronicle. We publiihed a short time ago, the Report of Committee of the Magistrates of Surrey, on the subject of the frauds in the coal trade---a curious document in many respects. We this day publish a communication from a correspondent on the same subject. " The trade," observes our correspondent," has become one of the most olojectionuble in the metropolis Custom has induced men, of unimpeachable integrity in other re spects, to follow the system which iv found to prevail, till at list the utmost diagram:dal acts are glossed over, and their consciences seared. Otherwise, how is it that men who would shriek from a dishonourable act, unconnected with their trade, are found practising the most palpable .fraudy at their wharfs and places of sassiness?" When thieves find the Police less strict in one neighbourhood linos another, they select the Ices strict neighbourhood. The dealers in coals are not without the same. sort of worldly wisdotn. It so happens dint the county of Surrey at the present moment contains several • Magistrates of high prin. ciple and integrity, who are determined to do their duty by showing no countenance to fraud, by whom soever committed. Middlesex, on the other hand, has always been famous for its jobbing Magistrates. It would appear from the Report of the Committee of Surrey Magistrates, that their brethren on the Middlesex side are troubled with an inability to discover any offence when the offender happens to have a full pocket. The. rogues, finding them selves so much more comfortable under the sym pathy of Middlesex Magistrates . than the vigilance of Surrey Magistrates, have naturally' ratted from Surrey. o Ice eansequepee (says our correspondent) of the suc cessful vigilance of the Surrey Land Coal Meters in their endeavour to ensure to the purchasers of coals both time quality and quantity professed to be sold to them it is up ascateitied feet that several of the merchants and dealers whim were doing their lav,immos in Surrey have lately quit ted that side of the Thames, and are now supplying *heir customers from the Wharfs out the other aide of the water, or from the eanula (it wlucli latter places there are no meters or any controul), and are undermining their former ... . _ competitnrs.'" When we thus see whole trades 'tainted by fttildelent practices, rind Magistrates conniving at, these practices, are we to be astonished that crinie should abound `e Really we seem AA approaching to that happy period which the poet Wordsworth so well describes, in his lines on Rob Boy, when the simple plan was, . . " That they should keep who have the might, And they should catch who can." (Morn. Citron.) A report of the dinner given at York, in honour' of the Hon. E. Petro, the Lord Mayor of that city, and High Sheriff of the county, will be found in, another part of our Paper. As a mere convivial meetiug, however respectably attended, we should . not have thus particularly alluded to it ; but it re ceives no ordinary degree .of political interest from the speech delivered by Lord Milton on the ma sion of the health of the Duke of Wellington being proposed. That speech conveys the explicit and unreserved opinion of this distinguished Nobleman . on the conduct of the policy of the Premier. His Lordship has. not drawn a Very flattering picture-- nor will those " fawning parasites", to whom Mr. Oreugharri altuded, acknowledge the accuracy of the 12:w ait.Bet his (Irace will, no douht, . be consoled 1 I the severe 41.U:tures of this ungracious commen t tot ea Cris political achievements, by the oomph mentary effusions which await him At the approaching symposium of the Manchester Rail-road Company, who, by their luxurious. entertainment, will furnish him with new proof of the increasing prosperity ofthe toontry, to be used in answer to the petitions of the distressed agriculturists and manufacturers in the ensuing Session of Parliament. It All be seen that Lord Milton sepwated the military from the political character of his Grace—and with good rea son. In the former capacity he was one of the most successful General's that ever led the English armies to victory. In the latter he has been one of the most unsuccessful Statesmen that ever took the helm of our civil affairs. In his military capacity he had obtained fame enough to satisfy the ambition of any man. In his civil career he has tarnished the brightness of his laurels, and tarnished his reputa tion for that united energy, foresight, and wisdom, which led to his triumphs in the field. As to energy, we Must however, qualify what we say. He dis played that quality in his persecutions .of the Press, and his prompt and contemptuous diSmissal of Mr. Huskisson (once so much admired by his Manches ter friends) from the Council of the Sovereign. And for what did he so dismiss the Statesman whose political alliance lie.sought as an inestimable acquisition to his Cabinet? Not for any imputed errors of policy—nor for any dangerous attachment to theories injurious to the solid interests of British trade and manufactures; but on account of a hasty letter trespassing opoti Ministerial etiquette, and in some degree offensive to his personal dignity. But did he display any of this energetic quality in the vindication. of the national dignity and honour when Russia, after solemn assurances to the contrary, blockaded the Dardanelles? Did he show any of the wisdom of the Statesman in allowing the Turkish empire to be overthrown, and our eastern possessions to be thus uncovered to the future ag gression of the coloisal power and inordinate ambi tain of Mnecovy ? Did he act with the promptitude of a British StatesMati in protecting the honour of the British 'flag froM the gross and repeated in sults of the usurper of the auntie of Portugal, who3e defrauded niece had been received at the Court of our Sovereign as the rightful Queen of that country ? It is true that now, after his latest and most flagrant outrages, Don Miguel has been compelled to dis gorge the plunder of British subjects, and to pro mise reparation for the wrong ;—but we can easily account for ,this by knowing that a King at present wields the sceptre of Great Britain who had been the companion and patron of Nelson, and had always been sensitively alive to every thing touch ing the honour of that flag und..r which our naval heroes won and maintained, against all rival nations, the supremacy of the seas. There was energy, in deed, in the attack upon the fugitives from the tyranny of Don Miguel in the waters of Terceira, but perhaps even his Grace's most devoted friends would not now wish to obtain for that affair a pro minent place in the history of the " Wellington Administration." Then, as to our domestic policy, well might' Lord Milton 'draw , a contrast between the promises made in the Speech from the Throne, at the opening of the last Session, and the acts per formed. What became of the pledges respecting the reforms in the administration of justice? What of the promised retrenchment and economy ? Was the sanguinary Forgery Bill, which causes the forger of a one pound promissory note to perish on the same scaffold with him who has deliberately imbued his hands in the blood of his fellow man, a specimen of the promised improvement of our criminal jurispru dence ? Was the Beer Bill, for the encouregement of universal tippling, a proof of regard for the mo rals of the people, only next in importance to the establishment of an un-English gendarmerie, tinder the name of a preventive pollee ? No doubt, in what he did, and in what he omitted to do, the Duke of Wellington Was actuated with the best in tentions in the world; but in the. same proportion that we exonerate him from base intentions roust we impeach his capacity as a Statesman. A Morning Paper says that, even his recognition of the present King of the French was in consequence of a com munication from the Austrian Minister, Metternich, to that effect. This we do not believe. We can not credit the statement that, in almost the only wise act of the present Administration, it was the servile instrument of the arch-intriguer of the Coo, anent. We 'itcribe the judicious promptitude of that net-4o different from the diplomat►c coquetry to which he had been recently accustomed, in all our foreign transactions—to the right feeling and liberal views of policy which distinguish his present Majesty, who prefers, to all the honours of empire, the conscious satisfaction of living in the hearts of a braVe and enligilteeed people. This is like a re turn to the policy of Mr. Canning, who, with all his faults, bad exulted anti comprehens►ve views of the ditties and destinies of Great Britain. Yet the leading Members of our present liberal Cabinet per secuted him for his liberality I andare fawned upon by the very persona who aceused them of stinging. a noble nature until it sunk under the attacks of a vindictive ambition I In the report, to which We have alluded, the speech of Mr. Strickland will hi. found deserving of attention, for the view which he takes of the Whig Attorney-General's crusade against the Press, and the disgraceful state of the existing law of libel. The encomiurns which he bestows on Lord Morpeth for his exertions relative to this subject in the last Parliament, are but that just tribute to political virtue which is responded by the voice of public opinion.—Worning Herald. Prince Talleyrand, we learn from the French Papers, is appointed by the new French Govern. merit Ambassador Extraordinary and Minister Pie, nipotentiary to the Court of hit:Britannic Majesty. In this appointment there is a singular and eon. spicuous propriety. The representative and the re presented are in all respects worthy of each other. Who, indeed, could so Judiciously have been chosen to act in the name and in the behalf of an authority, itself the express creation and the ready slave of brute force, ag one who is distinguished above every other public man in Europe for the steady determi. nation and the unvaried felicity which in all vicissi 7 Ludes and emergencies have constantly kept him on the strongest side ? It wails crime, we recollect, in Charles X. to bestow his favour and confidence upon De Bourmont ; it will he considered meritorious, we suppose, in King Philip to confer a distinguished m ar k of honour and esteem upon Telleyrand. To Call this inconsistent would, perhaps, be ras h, al though .to us it appears so; but this perhaps may arise from the circumstance that we are not revo lutionists, and therefore cannot comprehend the mystcrions ,principles upon which a nation in the revolutionary state awards its eensure or applause. Great Britain has, however, no right to complain of this appointment. It' is a due return fur the promp titude with which the French Revolutionary, Govein meta has !seen acknowledged, and manifests the determination of the new Court at France not to interfere . in the internal policy or seek to ga i n influence, croon ,any of the domestic parties of this country. T 4 Mission of Monsieur 'rid leyrand ought. properly to be viewed as an effective arid friendly antidote, administered by France herself, to the progress of a French interest with any one of our, political parties, since we th i n k we may be slim that neither Tory, Whig, or Li beral, nor Radical in England, will permit Mots however brilliant, cunning however refined, or ad dress hoWever polished, to Want over them art as cendancytwhieliel;attiloletw and yie l d to yhavebeme:ntityee:iarttoun:sedofersielynsteo, Spirit, and integrity This mission of Pi ineoTalivr" rand to the Court of St. Jairietes is an inconsiderable event in the- trirch,nf revolution--one of the 46 fan tastic tricks" whiellots we are told by a high euthority "men dressed in a little brief authority" are prone to exhibit.

Yet our Liberals affect to censure this manifestation of popular sovereignty at Hamburg—why, we confess we cannot conjecture. For if the sovereignty of the people be so very.good a thing at Paris, where it is displayed in the destruction of machinery, in the , forcible interruption of industry, and the suspension of all useful and honourable enterprise, in the ruin Of property, the prostration of hope, the deprivation even of bread to thousands of innocent and merito rious petsons, why in the name of reason should it be deemed a bad thing at Hamburg, where it has only exercised itself in barbarous outrage against a few unfortuttate Je‘vs ?--Morning Past. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. The officerq of St. Botolph, Aldgate, applied to the Long MAYOR for an order to the parish of Cole man-street, to support the child of a woman named Cole, who bud been married to a man named Gavin, now a convict in New Smith Wales. Mr. Holder said that the case must be referred to Doctors'-commons. BOW. ST RE ET. A fat low-sized fellow, apparently between fifty and sixty years of age,. was brought before Sir R. BIRNIE, by Mr.. Thomas, the superintendent of police, charged with having.been discovered in the act of enticing three female children, aged nine, ten, and thirteen, to the vaults beneath the Adulphi, in order to abuse their persons. Sir R. BIRNIE asked the defendant for his name, and what occupation he followed. The prisoner replied that his name Was Richard Balla, and . that he lived at No. 21, Brick-lune, Spitallields, and was by trade a shoemaker. The children, who were accompanied by their father and mother, were then examined by the Magistrate; and in answer to questions put to them, stated that they were walking along the Strand,when they wereueeosted by the prisoner, who offered theta is penny each if they would accompany him to the vaults beneath the Adelphi, and he promitied, when there, to give them some more money. They then repeated some disgusting expressions which the prisoner had addressed to them. The father of the adduce, a decent working man, of the name of Rolls, said he was from home at the time the circumstance took place, adding, with a warmth of feeling which WAS boils excusable and natural, that if he had met with the prisoner at the time, he should certainly have Aitken the law into his own hands and drubbed- him most heartily.. Sir R. BIRNIE expressed the strongest indigna tion at the unmanly conduct of the old seducer, and regretted that he had not been detected in some act which would have rendered him liable to the punish ment of the law. "If I were the father, however," added the magistrate, " and had a good horsewhip in my band, I know where I should apply it." The prisoner was then discharged ; but the hint of the magistrate was not given in vain, for the fellow no sooner escaped from the office than he was met by a posse of women, who began to hoot and pelt him, and a sturdy coal-beaver tripping up his heels rolled him for several yards in the kennel, to the no small delight of the by-standers. Covered with mud and filth, he retreated in the direction of Holborn, where his porsiters gave up the chase, fully satisfied with the speedy end substantial justice which had overtaken the old sinner. M A 11. Y LEIION A rather extraordinary investigation took' place at this dice, on Tuesday evening, relative to a charge of violation Preferred by Catherine O'Brien, a re markably powerful young woman, a b out twenty years of age, against her master, Captain Johnlcals, a married gentleman. • From the plaintiff's evidence it would appear that the defendant had frequently offered her Ahawls and money, which she refused to accept.. He, had twice gone into her room, when she bade him go nut, and threatened to have him prinished.• On Munday morning last, about. , five o'cloCk, she awoke and found the defendant in bad; she was about to scream out, when he put his band on her mouth, and by force effected her ruin. There was curly her mistress in the house. On his keying the room she dressed herself and made the breakfast. She left the house about ten o'clock the same day, and told her mistress that she did so in consequence of her master's conduct. The defendant said the whole Charge was a vile fabrication, and got up to extort money froM hirn Ile had been desired by his wife to 'call the com plainant up several mornings, which be had done without ever going into her room. The defendam's wife, a ladylike woman, con firmed this, and said she slept under complainant's room, and could have heard any noise, however slight. The complainant bad been only a fortnight with them, and had had notice to leave on Monday last. She was sure her husband was innocent of the charge. The defendant's cook deposed to being at the house on . Monday morning, when the complainant made no complaint to her; she came with Mrs. Gavin in the middle of the day, and although she waited in the kitchen some time, said nothing about the charge to her. Mr. llosms commented upon Alrt. Gavin going with the complainant in the middle of the day to the defendant, and dismissed • the charge, saying the Complainant could go to the sessions. UNION.IIALL Yesterday William Wilson, the proprietor and driver of one of, the t.laphato stage-couches, was charged with having assaulted a gentleman named Basan, under circumstances of great aggravation. Mr. Besup, a few days ago, got on the defendant's coach on Balham-hill; with the view of coming up to town. Whilst seated on the outside of the vehicle, having had occasion to ask the coachman something, and being afflicted with an impediment in his speech, the latter no sooner discovered that fact than be 'immediately commenced mocking the witness in the presence of the other passengers, by imitating his defect of speech. This conduct he repeated, until the witness at length observed that if h e ( t h e d e fendant) was aware of ilia respectability, he would not presume to conduct himself towards a gentleman in the way he bad done. The defendant, however, evinced no disposition to apologise for such behaviour, but rudely told the complainant to get down if be did not like to remain. Mr. Basan, in reply to this piece of insolence, declared his inten tion of proceeding to hit destination on the coach upon which he first got, adding that had any other vehicle been about to start, he should certainly have g iven it the preference, owing to the insult and ' derision he experienced from the person then driv ing the couch upon which he had unfortunately taken a seat. The moment Mr. Baum had uttered these words, the defendant, still imitating the impe diment in that gentleman's speech, declared that he should alight, and should not proceed to town on his coach.

DEAR FELLOW-COUNTRYMEN, ---We, the under signed Deputies to the States-General now at Bros gals, have been summoned to an interview with the Mince of Orange. We have had the honour con scientiously to lay before him the state of things and of the people's minds. •We thought ourselves authorised to represent to the Prince Royal that the most ardent desire of Belgium was the complete se paration between the Southern and Northern Pro vinces, without any other point of contract than the reigning dynasty. We represented to his Royal Highness, that, in the agitation of people's minds, the - dynasty of the Princes of Nassau has not for a moment ceased to be the unanimous wish of the Belgians; that the difficulties of its situation, the impossibility of conciliating incompatible opinions, manners, and interests ceasing, the House of Orange, henceforth free to associate itself in our wishes, might depend on the attachment and fidelity of all. Our remarks were favourably received, as well as those of several special Commissioners, and the Prince Royal has already gone to carry in person the expression of our wishes to his august Father. Persuaded, dear countrymen, that we have been the interpreters of your sentiments,- that we have acted as good and loyal Belgians, we inform you of our proceedings. It is here, in your capital, that we await with confidence the result of your efforts and ours.--Brussels, Sept. 3. (Signed) Count de CELLES. Baron de SE'CUS. BARTHELBING. De LANOHE.

BRUSSELS, SEPT. 5.- , —Tranquillity continues to prevail at Brussels, thanks to the zeal of the Burgher Guard. All good. citizens anxiously await the result of the journies of the Princo of Orange to the Hague; all ardently desire that legal order may be quickly restored, that every one may resume his Usual occupations, that commerce and industry may recover their activity. We hear of nothing but military service, barricades, combats with the troops, who are also part of the nation. Heaven grant that the resolution taken at the Hague may promptly put an end to so distressing a state of things! The troops are not now, as formerly, chiefly composed of men entrapped and picked up in the great towns. The army, like our Burgher Guards, are composed only of our friends, our sons, our brothers. The army is wholly national. Let us hope that the moment is not far off when, united under the same banner, we shall all rally round a Constitutional Throne, at the call of a King who is a pattern of all public and private virtues—a King so worthy of our attachment and our love. BRUssELs, SEPT. 6.--The Deputies of the Southern Provinces, now at Brussels, said on the 3d of this month, " The House of Orange may depend on the attachment and fidelity of all." It is after having received this declaration that the Prince set out for the Hague, promising to repre sent in person to his Majesty the wishes expressed to hint, and especially that of a complete separation between the , Southern and Northern Provinces of the kingdom, all of them remaining under the pro tection of the same Crown and the same Sceptre. It is after having received this declaration that the Prince of Orange ordered the troops that were in this city to retire to Vilvorde. What meaning must we assign to the words " at• tachment and fidelity of all ?" If we may credit the reports which have been in circulation Since yesterday —reports which we will not repeat—if we are to pay any serious attention to certain measures, these words, " attachment and fidelity," must be understood in an extremely cireum. scribed sense ; or, to express ourselves with more accuracy and frankness, they would have entirely changed their signification. If there are among us men led astray by hateful passions, or by personal views, we beg them seriously and calmly to reflect on their real situation, on the actual situation of each of our provinces, on the real temper of the people's minds. Before they go a step further, before they pass the rubicon, let them be %veil aware of the in. numerable evils which they would infallibly draw upon their country ; and if it is dear to them, let them abstain—let them stop at the precipice towards which they seem disposed to drag it, together with themselves. Should we then be reduced to say that in whatever situation an honest man may be, honour is bound to the faith sworn and the huliness of engagements ? Can this truth, incontestible at all times, and in all places, be trampled under foot in the presence of Princes, and when the dearest in• terests of the country are itt stake, rather than in the daily concerns of public life ? God forbid that our reflections and our fears should apply to those of our Deputies who have promised to the Prince the attachment and fidelity of- all. We look upon them, without any exception, as too much men of honour and integrity not to be firmly convinced that they would decidedly disap prove—that they would repel with horror, all counsels, all proposals, which should in anywise trench on the. rights of the dynasty or the powers entrusted to it—the fidelity which has been sworn to it, and why must we be obliged to say, to the at tachment of which it is so worthy, and which it has merited by indefeasible claims ? The Prince of Orange has kept his engagements to the utmost ex tent ; the troops which were at Brussels have left it, and he is gone to the Hague, to lay before his august Father the demands and wishes of the chief citizens of Brussels and of our 'Deputies. Let us wait with confidence—Act us remain faithful, as we have promised to be. Europe has its eyes turned upon us. What opinion would it form of us if Inv net should violate the fidelity, tote oath to be observed which our Deputies have just reneWled. , flo c oarftitchleea lath,tttrial,ctaentlo and 7th the Pays //os sep & t. l ) azeito `BRUSSELS, SEPT. 4.—The proposal for a division of the Kingdom into two parts, with distinct Act ministrations under the same Sceptre, made the most favourable impression yesterday.
