FRENCH PERIODICAL PRESS. EXTItA,ORDISARY ()HA .GE o DIGAMY. (Abridged' frail the . Zieih On Friday last an occurrence took place in Leeds, which excited an extraordinary sensation, seed has ever since supplied the gtisips With abundant mat ter the tattle and **lllation.. On that day, Mr. Stanley, a most rev&trable wool.rnerchant and broker, was apprehended on a charge of bigamy. Mr. Stanley tame to Leeds in. the early part of 182 0, and was almost a stranger here., He VOW' menced business as a wool-merchant and broker, and opened an office and, warehouse. in. lireek-street ? Per. l x-row. His business went on prosperciusly anti gradually increased up to 1829. - In the beginning of that year he became acquainted with Miss Daniel, an amiable and accomplished young lady, who then filled the situation of governess to 'Mt% William Oott's children. Having married, he fixed his abode in an elegant house, No. 13, Catnp-road, Leeds, but better known as Crirnbles House, the residence of the Into Abraham Parkinson, Esq. In cense-, quence of this alliance his commercial connections increased. lie apparently lived in a very genteel style, keeping up a considerable domestic establish ment, horses, man servant in livery, &c. Thus flowed the course of his affairs till the eventful Friday last. On the evening preceding that day, a bustling, gootWooking female, attended by her son, aged 22 years, arrived here from Cam berwell, near London. She brought a letter to a respectable - resident, and immediately. introduced herself as the wife of Mr. Stanley; whom slut mar ried in 1.800. She stated also that she had borne him 11 children, six of whom ate living, and the eldest of wham accompanied her. In support of these and other allegations, she produced a regular marriage certificate. Having made the necessary depositions, and ob tained a warrant of Mr. Gott, that instrument was put into the hands of Mr. Sowry, the constable, about noon on Friday, and Mr. Stanley was taken into custody, in his own warehouse, in less than an hour after, and conveyed before Mr. Gott in that gentleman's counting-house. Here he was cos;`, fronted with his wife and son; lie put a bold face upon the matter. • He did not deny that he knew her; nor died he deny his son (who, by the way, bears an uncommonly strong resemblance to his fa ther); but he declared that he had never legally married her. Hit accuser alleged that his name was not,efolin, as Ise called himself, and under which he married Miss Daniel, but Joseph. This, WIN: he stoutly denied. As, however, Mr. Stanley had not the means of meeting the charge, he was told by. Mr. Gott that he must be detained in custody till documentary and other testimony could be adduced to elucidate the question. To this hard necessity he siibmitted with a tolerably good grace; but know ing Mr. Gott, he begged permission to go under the constable's care, to deliver some wool which he had sold to Mr. Wilkins. Mr. Gott essented. The wool was delivered, and the officer subsequently conveyed him, also by pertnission, to his (Mr. Stan ley's) own residence, where he busied himself for an hour or two in looking over and arranging his books and papers. About six in the evening, Mr. Gott and Mr. nut the deputy town cleric, repaired to Crimbles-House, for the purpose of taking the usual informations in such cases. Miss Daniel—as we must call the second wife-- was confined to her apartment by a severe scald in her, legs and feet. The examination took place in a front room, in which Miss Daniel sat. Mrs. Stanley and her ton were in It back room adjoining. The constable re mained without. During the inquiry, !Vic. Stanley tepeatedly went from the front to the back room, to speak to his real wife, and made many endeavours to mitigate her anger and her stern demand of justice. All at once he was missed ! It is supposed that he went out at the back door, got our a wall, leaped Into a plantation, and thenee effected 0, ; $10. retreat. Ile has not since been retaken, nor , is there any clue to the place of his retreat. Ilk first act, after his micape, was a singular one, and indicates a good heart and honest principle, He hastened to the country house of a gentletrien, of whose property Ito 'bed from lAN. to 1,2001. worth'in his posses.- don. , He.briefly explained that 'circumstances had arisen which rendered a retreat prudent; and he put into the gentleman's hands doeumenta,relating. to the transactions between them,' and instructed him how he might regain his own. Paving performed this 'honourable and Considerate action, he con tinued his flight, by what means the chroniclers baye not recorded,' but on Sunday morning, at a conhider uble distance from Leeds ( us appears 'frett i the A o eu.• mem), be executed a regular deed of settleinent of all his property in favour of his second wife's father, Mr. Daniel (who is, or was then, ut Beth), to whom he owed a moderate sum of money, whit:ll,6d been advanced to him by way of loan, , Poder this in strument the household • furniture said other offect:i were speedily announced for Sale. • Mr. Stanley's private affairs Were in good order. lie scarcely owed a pound in Leeds, or any where vise, so far as is at present known. All his furni ture, which is elegant, has been paid for. In short, it appehre from his books, that his fair; profits of business amounted to little less than 1,0001. a-year. DECREE or FEIU II AND. (From the Times,) The alarm with which Ferdinand hal been seized at the startling intelligence of an army of exiled Spaniards on his frontier, communicating by re m,. tionary sympathies with the , disaffected lovers o f freedom in the interior, has tented itself (as might he expected) in. measures of ineffectual precaution and sanguinary cruelty. He has issued a decree, every line of which is written with blood, and, seems to think himself only safe within the circle of terror which it may inspire. If Spain is really ripe for a . political change, no symptoms could be more promising than this :noise ingr panic of the tyrant. It mutt accelerate the crisis of oppression, and secure the ultimate triumph of liberty, by destroying every Vestige of the hopes entertained bt some political optimists that Ferdi nand, with lila characteristic tristin'ct - of danger, would try to avert his fate by timely eoncesSion,--- thet he would again endeavour to melte a compro mise between his. *aortal safety and political principles, and rely for the pardon of his former pertidiesi . end barbasities on the forgiving loyalty Of a people tielighteil with dm sudd en res i nta . lion of their rights, and more anxious to esta blish guarantees for 'the future titan to avenge the past. It must put 'an end to every prospect of an accommodation with air insurgent portion of Ids subjects from the friendly interference of the Freud) Mcinarch, or the warning example of the Vreiich revolution. It must induce timid but -sus. petted patriots to declare their sentiments, and place their safety only in resistance to oppression, while it must, by the blood which it. causes to flow, spread more widely a detestation of the Govern.' meat, and interest increasing numbers ill' its over throw. These must be the consequences of such a sanguinary measure, if the spirit of revolt within Spain is as general and vigorous as the have been taught to believe, and if the constitutional pulse beats in Uni4oll on both sides of the Pyrenees. It would be to common sense to corn- pare the monstrous provisions of Ferdinand's decreel with any enactments which modern civilizstion heti witnessed. The second article denounces the Punish* j went of death against all who shall " correspond I with," or " counsel," the invading exiles; and the 1 third makes it capital for the members of a corpora tien, or agents of the civil power, to neglect giving! trotite of the appearance of a rebeWoui the nett militetry station, with the so e " , e y 1 miles an hour. Men who - eurirot - o e :i f . u ; • so o ., r i n" " Imard-of inhumanity 00W;e0 e tirit;: rl eii 11"7 must be driven to joie the stendard of rit, e tti on ' they may escape the purthiliatinf reiol 4 ,, If the army of patriot., said to be Collected' on the line of the Pyrenees, were more united than they appear to be, and could calculate on that sup. port within Spain Which nlone could justify their enterprise, this decree *dub] be rather a subject of ridicule than of alartni; No ruler ever maintained himself long against a disaffected people by' mere threats of death and the galleys, The Duke of Alva could not maintain the obedience of the Ne therlands for Philip 11. by scaffolds and military executions, and Ferdinand will find the attempt as hopeless in Spain as his predecessors did the United Provintes. The following is the decree alluded to : KING DECREE BY Tilt KING OF SPAIN. When the deep and cancerous sores, formed upon the political body of the state by the revolutionary calamities of 1820 to 1823, were upon the paint of being healed, and my beloved vassals about to reap the advantages of the important atUeliorations which have been gradually in troduced in every branch of the public administration, that rebellious. and incorrigible faction, the sworn enemy of its country, has again appeared, to alarm and revolu• tionize this kingdoM, entering the passes of our frontiers, and forming plans for the invasion of our coasts. Their horrible projects are well known, hut all their designs and manceuvres ate watched, in order that they may. be de- . feated, and the monarchy preserved from fresh callonitiei. Let every good man, then, faithful to his King,. and a lover of order and peete, confide in my for e si g ht and i n the vigilaneo of the authorities, and pay strict observance to the laws ; with the understanding that these who, on the contrary, blind in the career of crime, inattentive to my sovereign clemency, and whose corrupt hearts are full of turbulent and traitorous designs, shall, whatever be the mask which conceals their guilt, he inexorably dealt with, and by the strict and punctual fulfilment .of the fol lowing resolutions, the kingdom will be purged of those evildoers, " Art.

Such persona as render assistance to these rebels, whether in arms, ammunition, provisions, or money, or who favour and advance their criminal purposes, by means of correspondence, counsel, or any other manner, shall be deemed traitors, and condemned to death, conformably to the laws, Ist and 2d, tit. 2, part 7.

Should it become evident that this negligence was malicious, and for the purpose of favouring the rebels, they shall be con ()finned to death ; hut should it be proved that it was merely from inattention, they shall be tined 1,000 ducats, and sentenced to serve six years in the galleys in Africa.

A translation was, with. greet' activity, prepared and printed, but so averse were the gambling Roues, of that metropolis to the exposure in their native language of Llieir ihiquitifst, that a subscription was made for the pur pose of buying up all the Copies) before publication. • , S Cott Ls.--For some weeks past very confident statement, Alava appeared in the Landon papers, : that Ministers have it in centeroplatien to, remit taxes to the amount of s i oop,opoz. or 4,000,0Q01. TJn there is . an ebsolute necesssity for some relief , ' no one, we presume, will have the' temerity to deny; and the only question is, which of the taxes it would . be Most rape alient to nholieh, The distress of the labouring classes in the south of England , is at present extremely great, and their sufferings Are cruelly aggravated during the winter season by a tax ae onerous as it is 'unjust, as impolitic as it is iniquitous ; we allude to the duty laid upon sea-borne coals.' The southern counties, if they are true to them attivee, will not leek at the hands of the Minister the aban. :tionnient of this impost as a favour, but they will demand it as a right; for a more unfair and oppressive' tax was never sanctioned by the worst of GovernMents. .It is well known that coals are almost entirely produced in the northern countiea of the. kingdom, where the quantity is at, great, that, the , poorest ,pertons can always have an abundant supply of fuel at the most trifling cost; and yet in that part. of the country no,duty whatever is charged, and the wealthy inhabitanti have 'an abundance of the best coals without paying a farthing duty ! In the southern counties, which must necassaraY , have to pay all the ex. peaces of harping, freightage, and carriage, a Government duty of (3s, is laid upon every cbaldron ; so that the poorest inhabitants here, in addition to all necessary ex. pence., have to ptiy Ss. per chaldrtin an coals, while the wealthy inhabitants of the north are wholly exempted from the tax.,, The total amount of this duty is only usg,ooob a-year-re son in itself out a trine when the benefit of its repeal le considered ; but even if it were greater, we would ask, why are the .southern counties to 'bear 'exclusively kWh burdttn? r . We would therefore reconunend that as many .petitions to the . Legislature as possible be .itntne Jiately set on foot ; and we feel no doubt but that this duty would soon share t 1 late 'of the Corporation anti Teet Acts, and every tither obnoxious measure against which the public voice has been distinctly heard...-Kentish Gazette. REPEAL Or TiLe thilow.--No man could have, anticipated the :progreei which this measure has made in the public mind within the last few months,, or rather weeks. It has been more rapid, decisive, and ge. neral, than that of any other ,question of equal import ance, if any such existed in Ireland ; and it has united more of the distracted elements of Irish society into ardent advocacy* of its justice and necessity, than perhaps any tither agency. could aver have effattited. The requisition has been already signed by thousends, and .it wil4 in the Colima of anothieweek or two, prettent a list of signatures, exceeding in numbers and respectability any ever presented to thetublic. One instance of honourable zeal has been mentioned to us, and we allude to it as giving en excellent example.

M. tie Cormenin has just addressed to us the fol lowing letter, as conspicuous for its logic as it is for its frankness and sincerity t-- "TO THE EDITOR TIIE PATRIOT/C., " Montargig, Sept. 30. " SIR,—Tho proposition of M. de Bavoux, re• specting the affranehisement of the Journals, raises one of the most important questions of a representa tive Government. " I am either much deceived, or the honourable Deputy has not gone far enough. " When we are about to establish a principle, we should push on from consequence to consequence until we arr►ve at the boundaries of the useful and the possible. " We may establish it as an axiom that revolu dons should be consummated by the same means which produced them. " When a military despot overturns the constitu tion of a country, he confides his safety to his soldiers. " When a revolution is achieved by the Perlis . ment, the Parliament becomes omnipotent. " When a Minister destroys the Press, he can only hope to maintain his power by organizing a cold and weighty terror, the consequence of stifling of opinion. " But when the Press itself revolts and destroys tyranny, to the Press it belongs to consolidate its own work. " This being granted, what have we beheld since 18l , t, and what has been clone? "'That greatest miracle of civiliiation,—that first, perhaps, of our social institution4,—the Press, has been constantly treated as an enemy. " The previous censorship, the process of tend once, extraordinary jurisdic►ion, the monopoly of licences, excessive security, and an oppressive stamp ditty, have loaded us with a thousand fetters. This, Proteus has, however, slipped on every occasion through the hands which sought to hold him : it has become a lion, it has become a flame : it has roared, it has devastated. " The periodical Press has successively engen dered public opinion, the Chamber, and the revolu tion. It may, then, with a good grace say to public opinion, to the Chamber, and to the Government, " Do something for me who have been the cause of your existence.' " The journals are public instructors. We do not, however, require that the public money should pay the professors of economy and liberty, as' it does those of science and literature. No, do not pay the Press; but, at least, do not make it pay. " If you had not journals which watch over France with their hundred eyes and their hundred voices, you would be obliged to organize at a vast expense an active and numerous police. The Press, then, saves the Government what the police would cost it, if the Press did not exist. Look •st the drawers of Fouche ; calculate the expenses of the high police, the counter-police with all the premedi tated conspiracies which it was necessary to hatch ; add up these, and say the amount. " The Press, whether a friend min enemy, is a more efficient guard on the frontiers and the interior of a kingdom than armies are. In a word, liberty could not bear the loss of journals with much more difficulty than of soldiers for her defence. " You will, however, recollect that the Press is the most expressive of social necessities,---that it is the flambeau, the police, and the life of the State. Knock off, then, entirely the shackles which impede its action. It would be an inconsistency to wish for the means; but you desire the Press to advance, and yOu will not lighten its burdens. " It is just as if you should place an haversack of 100 pounds weight on the back of a foot soldier, and say to him, ' Fly to battle I' " The ournals are too expensive a Commodity. We want Journals at a low price to traverse France in every way, and which, in their political, scien tific, literary, and agricultural paraphernalia, shall visit burghs, chateaus, and cottages, in all shapes, and at the very lowest price. " Thanks to the freedom of the Press, the labourers and artisans of the United States have, on matters of government, (let the fact not hurt our vanity), sounder, more clear, and better balanced opinioni than many of our statesmen. " Let us confess it without scruple : a moiety, perhaps, of our electors have rather an instinct than a knowledge of liberty. They feel it, but do not understand it. They act by impulse. In politics they possess not sufficient individualism, What would happen if the census of the electoral qualifi cation was limited to the wish and the right of the people ? A cheap Press can only penetrate with rays of light the opacity of the electoral masses, and achieve our constitutional education. " But are we to, welt that guarantees are not wanted,for .the - Press.? By'no means. The liberty of the Piess, like all otl n liberty, should extend just as far as nut to injure another, acid nolurther. • - 9' If it should injure the Society it ought to serve, it should be punished in the responsibility of the conductor or the author, and by fines proportioned to the guilt of the offence. " If it engendered revolt, it should be punished by the penalties which are applicable to such casee. " If it defame; honour—,itijuro the interests of should Sider ,personal punishment end pl 4 damages. " If it contravene the police laws, it should be corrected by police punishments. " Accountants, notaries, Atlornies, and bnissiers, furnish security to guarantee their good conduct. " The guarantee of Journals is sufficiently esta blished ,by the perional - responsibility of the con ductor, and by the imposition of a security equal only to the highest floe. This is equally agreeable to reason and justice; . it does not clog the inde peudence of the Press, it militates against no main .point of, principle; it is what cannot be, end never will be, refused by. the proprietors of Journals, " Under this single condition we think that the periodical Press would .enjoy the following .ad. vantages " 1. The proportional security might be furnished in immoveables, in rentes, or in cash, at the pleasure of the conductor. " 2. The Jury ought to decide on all crimes and offences of the Press, without making any distinc tion between complaints of the Government, consti tuted bodies, or private individuals. Indeed, why should the. Chambers drag to their bar those who have ofFended them, when an attack against the dime is cognizable by a Jury ? Have they not equality of roarer ? why then should there be in equality of jurisdiction ? The Chamber s , like the king, should not themselves avenge ;heir own wrongs. It is always supposed that too much passion accompanies too much power; le 3, The stamp duty should be not merely re duced, as M, Bavouz proposes, but abolished, It is to no purpose that an orator of the left side has declared that the journals were a commercial enter prise. That is true, as' far as regards those who conduct them; but not those who receive th em , " But would not those who conduct th em gain over those who receive them the whole amount which is paid into the Treasury in the shape of stamp' duties ?—No ; for they would lower the price of the subscription the whole price of the stamp duty. " Finally, the stamp-duty is collected frore the more need of a P ress , t h an the Treasury subscribers : the subscribers are th e peop l e. Th e P h e a o s p o l f m eha o v n e ey, and the Press is ul wuy „, b etter t h e cheaper it is.

The carrying by post should be gratuitous. On the one hand the,Tressury would thereby lose the tax for postage and distribution ; but do you not :see that these encouragements of the Press would give an impulse to public spirit, extend the relations of commerce, multiply correspondence, letters, missions, and the products of commerce ? The Treasury would not, therefore, be altogether a loser. Let it, besides, raise the hatchet against excessive salaries; let it cut off the devouring le prosy of sinecures and pluralities, and the deficiency of the Treasury will be covered, and we should thereby have less abuses and more liberties. '' I will now restate my proposition in figures, in order that any one may at a glance comprehend it : " The price of the annual subscription to a journal at present is " The Stamp and Post duties are included in this expence—mmely, " Stamp duty for 360 sheets, at seven centimes the sheet...s2sf. 20e. " Post duty at five centimes per sheet ISf. Oc. 43f. 20e. " Remainder, 36E. 80e. " Now take from this surplus the allowance made to booksellers and the directors of post, the expenses of salaries, of office, of paper, of printing, of folding, and of distributing, the interest of the capital laid out, the insurance on security, the advance of stamp and post duties, the expence of correspondence, of editing and conducting, the bad debts, and see vi hat remains to the undertakers of journals, and judge whether competition is physically possible ! " But who suffers the most of that 2 The public. " If on the other hand you remove the impost, you reduce nearly one half the price of the journals, and these are what will be the effect : " Ile who used not to take in a journal will have one. He who had only one will take two. Ile who had only a journal of a single sheet will take one of a double sheet. He who had only news of politics, will have news of the administration, of literature, of the sciences, of the arts, of agriculture, of com merce, and trade. New reading rooms will be opened. The manufacture of paper, of ink, of types, and of presses will be increased. The com positors, and pressmen, the founders, the engravers, and the mechanics will be multiplied. The enthusiasm of system-Makers, the ebullitions of Uto pians, will be exhaled by so many open pores, and will fall down consuming elle another. The de partmental press, which stepped at the burghs, will penetrate to the villages. The journals will descend from the hands of the high and middling to the hands of the small proprietor; and the people, whose benefit should be the end of every measure, would receive instruction conformable with their wants, and Will perceive that each condition has its rights and duties; and the poor, as well as the rich, will not be ameliorated without being enlightened. " But it is . objected, the time has not arrived. We must wait. Why, let me ask, should we wait? Did those Parisians wait who marched forward to subvert despotism, subject to a devastating discharge of grape-shot ? Did those intrepid Belgians wait, who in another ‘ Place renew the prodigies of the French people, and for whom all generous hearts beat with :sympathy:and admiration'? Institutions, like fruit, should be gathered when ripe: " France has made one step, and all the world is about to follow her. Neither coalitions, armies, nor fortresses—neither glaciers, mountains, nor seas, can stop the revolution of ideas;" and before a quarter Of a century, the victories of the Press will have made the tour of Europe.

The following are extracts from Gonna, Papers received this morning ramorromir, OCT. 5. Perfect tranquillity now prevails in the neighbouring p r ovu • sea of Hamm. The regiment whi c h h as b een i n ga rrison theta for some years, and h a d acqu i re d the ge neral esteem of the inhabitants, was relieved yesterday by t h e regiment. lately in garrison at Marburg. N o thi ng oc . c urred to cause any disturbance. With the new garrison some artillery has come to Hanau. The Electoral Prince of Hesse resides alternately here and at Hamm. We have no recent news of any importance from the province of upper Hesse. Prince Etnelius had removed Ida head quarters -froth Friedberg to Hungen, and thence to Alt fwd. It is said that the Mall body of the insurgent's is gene towards the other side of the Yogelbeig, where, en account of the nature of the ground, caution will be nem. t oy in pursuing thew. Here, flowerer, we are now without fears of tie spreading of the insurrection, as we have learned that. several of the neighbouring States have taken the most rigorous measures , against it. In the neighbourhood of Witzl4r a part of the Prussian troops, marching towards the Rhine, amounting, it is said, to 6,000 men, have , received orders to halt. Accounts from Hanover, of the 29th of September say, that the King had not approved of the proposal to build a new palace, but had ordered the improvements of the old palace, begun some years ago, to be completed as soon as possible. At a late hour this afternoon we received Brussels Papers of yesterday's date. We have no room for comment. The following are ex- racts ;From the Journal de la Belgique of Thursday and Friday.) 3RUIMEI.II, OCT. 13. The Provisional Government of Belgium decrees : I. The decrees which have fettered the liberty of in struction are abrogated. _ The universitij, colleges, and the encouragement given to elementary instruction, are maintained till the National Congress has decided en the subject. The time of the opening of the institutions for public instruction will be shortly announced. 11. Considering that humanity and the laws of war pre scribe the allowance to prisoners of war of a pay sufficient to provide for their wants, decrees The officers prisoners of war, from the rank of Cap tain to that of Sub-Lieutenant exclusively, shall receive the half-pay of active service, dating from the day of their capture. _ _ Att. 2 will decide in the sequel on the pay to be given to the inferior officers. • (Signed) DE POTTER, &c. Ste. The Central Committee bas just added M. Alexander Gendebien to its number as a fifth Member. The Governor of South Brabant has addressd a circular to the Magistrates of the towns and communes in the dis tricts of Brussels and Louvain, requesting them to let him know before the 20th of this month, in which language the French or the Flemish, they think it must suitable to the interests of their districts to keep the registers of births, marriages, &e. for 1831. The registers of those places fawn which no an swer shall be received by the day fixed, will continue to be printed in Flemish. ,BRUSSELS, OCT. 14. The Courrier de la Meuse strongly insists on the establishment of a Constitutional monarchy. The Courrfer des Pnys Bat contains an anonymous memoir addressed to General Don Juan Van Helen, on the present state of Belgium. The author, considering the state of anxiety which undermines commerce and mann: features in Belgium, insists that the provisional situation in which we are ought to cease as soon as possible. He sees no prospect of prosperity for our fine country, except in, the proclamation of its independence, and a Constitu tional Kiag. Enquiring then what Prince should govern us, he coutinu:s thus:— , " Of all the candidates that can be proposed the Prince of Orange is the one, the choice of whom will secure the speediest return of public tranquillity. His tried valour, the noble confidence of which be recently gave a proof to the citizens of this city ; the certainty which we have beforehand that his elevation would unite with the appro. bation of all the cabinets. These considerations united, appear to me to argue powerfully in his favour. Shall we refuse to vote for the Prince of Orange, be cause be is a Protestant ? Or for fear he should place us again under the yoke, of Holland ? 7o avoid this two fold inconvenience, invite the Allied Sovereigns to mate the Prince swear to a Constitution of which the following might be the principal bases:— " He will renounce for himself and Isis descendants the succession to the throne of Holland. " The freedom of religious worship, of instruction, and of the press, shall be proclaimed, as well as the responsi bility of Ministers. " The institution of the King shall receive the neces sary developements. " A National Guard shall be formed on the same plan as that in France. The,colours of Brabant shall he retained. - 7 The Prince shall solemnly engage to refrain.even from the appearances of the slightest re-action, and to confiint the rewards which shall have been decreed to the defenders of our liberties, and sanctioned by the estates. " The several branches of the Administration shall be organized on the most economical footing, with respect both to the number and the salaries of the of f icers em ployed. " Howeier, if any difficulty should be made to vote for the father, what.ground of repugnance can be assigned with respect to his eldest son ? Assuredly we have not the shsduw of a complaint to make against him. lie is a Belgian, a native of Brussels, he is young, .and his heart is acid accessible to the liberal and patriotic sentiments with which we have a right to de sire him to be imbued. Let us add, that his illitstrious mother since our troubles risks the resentment of Holland, by 'making her Palace an isylum for the Belgiani, whose safety is endangered. There is every reason to prefer the young Prince, if his father is rejectedi in preference toevery other, and to give him the title of Duke of Brabant, under the regency of his mother and a Council of notables, At the same time, the command of the National Guard should be Aid held by. the Prince of Orange, who has declared that he eon.ider it al an honour." General Van fralett.has added more observations, giving his opinion that the Belgic nation, represented by free and patriotic citizens, ought to decide the question ; that for these elections to have the character of sincerity on the part of the Prince of Orange, the free navigation of the Scheldt ought to lie positively opened ; the Brabant standard to be hoisted in the small portion of Belgium where the provisional authority , of the nation is not yet recognized, and above all, that the Detab officere, both civil and military, should leave the country: We - have no Journals from Antwerp, but it appears froth" private accounts that no change had taken place in the situation of that city. AltMita?, OCT. 12. The Journal of Antwerp contains two documents, one of which announces that the Prince of Orange allows the use of the French or Flemish language at the option of till parties ititerested. The second iN a proclamation ef the , Prince, giving en entire liberty of instruction. 0111iNT, OCT. 14. The citadel is declared in II state of siege, and all cool ►lunication with the garrison prohibited. We have Papers froin the Cape of Good Hope to the Ist August. On the 26th June last, the Cleves sloop-of-war, belonging to the East India Company, lay in the port of Muscat. At night the town appeared to be illuminated, and suddenly it was seen to be in flames. The houses, except those of the Gran'dees, being of wood, burned with great fury, and in little mote than 'an hour 1,500. houses were destroyed. The town is surrounded by an amphitheatre of mountains, some,of them 2,000 feet high, which seen from their basis to their summits by the light of the' town, presented a spectacle full of magnificence and 'terror. Fortunately no lives were lost. The accounts from the interior of the Cape announce the capture of RICUTICR the chief of the gang who murdered the farmer isiEL and his family. He was apprehended at Griqua. The Agricultural Soctety of Greif Reties was going on quietly. These Papers do not contain any thing else of moment. We have commercial intelligence from Cal. cotta this morning to the sth of May, which is of some interest. The indigo market was in a state of great depression; in fact, this article was unsaleable at any price above the manufac. turing cost. The accounts from the interior of the growing crops were favourable, and there was every appearance, as far as could be ascertained, of an abundant season. The ex ports up to the end of April, including the Company's purchase, were 123,042 maunds, of which 99,524 had been sent to Eng land, and 16,935 to Foreign Europe. A good deal of business had been doing in opium within "the last day or two, but a consideiabla re&ction in price had been sub mitted to. A re-action was, however, expected. t In China and Eastern produce, cloves Welt eAll f o the decline and met a very dull sale.. -Alumni saleable, but nutmegs were very low. coffee was in demand and prices`firm; Mme'`, and Eastern pepper had advanced ; buttbeialef, were limited on those entered.

In European good( the market generally continued in very ' d e l pressed state, and the trade hung back frompur., chasing more than was sufficient to supply tlYeir:: immediate wants.
