doors, and refuse to allow their houses to be used as fortes for the defence of the city against the Prince's forces. The Prince, however, instead of advancing, commenced to retreat; his troops yielded up several of the barricades they possessed, and retired behind the trees of the Boulevards. Their cowardice is inconceivable to men who have not witnessed it. I saw six persons drive a company of Dutch • from a barricade. Amongst these six were, a gallant French youth, apparently about 16 years of age, one of the bravest of the brave ; a Bel gian, who displayed the most adventurous valour during the whole day ; and two brothers, the eldest of whom, in 1825, obtained the double first honours of Oxford, and the other a mem ber of the Jamaica Assembly. Both these bro thers wer# wounded, the latter slightly, but the former very severely in several places, particularly by a shot which, at a later period of the day, he received through the leg at the Place Royal, whilst leading on the Lourgeois at the Cafe de l'Amitie, in front of the Park. He was carried from the field by his brother and an Irish gentleman to the next hospital ; some of the vagabonds who were in the rear endeavouring to rob him, He was afterwards removed from the hospital to his hotel by the Bourgeois, and al• most stifled with caresses. Several ladies of Brussels have continued to visit him during the procrastinated cure of his wounds, expressing their gratitude to him for having come express from Paris to defend them when many of the leaders of the people had deserted them. Ge neral Van Haien called on him to express his high approval of his conduct and that of his brother, which last bad been his companion in his nocturnal expeditions to surprise the enemy in the Park, and who was introduced by the General to the Provisionary Government as one of two brothers who had eminently served the cause of the people, and well deserved that medals should be awarded them. But these acts of bravery were at this period of the first day almost solitary, and a general de- Airession lowered over the city. About nine o'clock an Aide-de-camp of the Prince, and as I understood a Count, but whose precise title I do not remember, appeared on horseback at a cor ner of a street near the Place Louvain. He waved a white handkerchief, and called on the Bourgeois to advance to him. They did so, principally , the six individuals before mentioned, who were in advance. Whilst the Aide-de-camp was stating the message he had received, a rabble broke in and dragged him off his horse. A t first I considered they were showing their grati fication at his arrival, but I discovered they in tended to treat him as a prisoner, and to insult him. The gentlemen before mentioned (Messrs. Beaumonts) and several of the Bourgeois de fended him at their own imminent hazard; they dragged off his epaulets, and tore away his cockade ; still the gallant titan, as he was carried through the streets, manifested no, particle of fear, his cheek was unblanched and nu sign of dread came over him ; occasionally his fine aris tocratic face was lightened by a smile of scorn he cast on his base assailants. All that the really brave men could do to defend him was done at their own imminent peril. He was guarded to a barracks, and it was stated he would be considered as a prisoner, in retaliation of a similar detention of one of the delegates from Brussels. It is due to the Bourgeois soldiers to flay, that they in no way participated in the infliction of the insults tits brave man re ceived ; it was the skulking cowards who as sailed him, and one of them attempted to assail him with a dagger, which was wrenched out of his hand by one of the Messrs. 1301110411 t and a Bourgeois. A most intolerable coward boasted he had made the Aide-de-camp a prisoner. Ab welt might Isaac of York have boasted of mak ing Ivanhoe a captive to his spear, or Wamba the witless, that he had vanquished King Richard with his shield of brawn. The Courier des Pa/Js-Bas contains a dispute between two other persons, who also each claim to have made an officer of rank prisoner. If they allude to the Aide-de-camp I am referring to, they have both an equal right to the honour of his capture. 'The truth is, he came with a flag of truce, and was detained in reprisal ; and, as far as I know, justly detained, for I have seen the Prince's troops more than once fire on the white flag of the Bourgeois. The detention of the Aide-de-ciunp gave vi gour to the Prince's opponents, for a report was speedily propagated, that the Dutch had been beaten, and the Aide-de-camp of the Prince, "and several officers," made prisoners. Then forth carne the coward and the dubious man. The revolutionary party understood well the value of such rumours. immediately after the event of the Prince's Aide-de-camp coming in, a consi derable, number of - volunteers came forward, and proceeded with them to the Place lloyale, which lies on the , opposite side of the Park to the Place tie Louvain, from which last the Dutch had been beaten, or rather had most shamefully run a way from absolute fright. Indeed, the face o h a Dutchman was scarcely discernible during the whole period of the extraordinary conflicts. At the Place Royale two young Irishmen, resident in Brussels (whose names I do not mention for obvious reasons) distinguished themselves right valiantly, and made repeated attempts to induce the Bourgeois to resort to the bayonet ; but I never saw this course adopted. The first day of the conflict many of the townsmen were killed and wounded, became there was no discipline, and no small portion of the rabble was intoxicated. The succeeding day there was some confi dence, and the Provisionary. Government pub. fished a proclamation without any signatures In the night an expedition was organized to sur prise the soldiers in the Pork. 1. NSW the flour geois at midnight assembled in the Hotel de Ville; but they had no stomach for the fight, and many declared they would not go to the butchery. The expedition did not succeed whether rendered abortive by treason or cowardice I know not. On Saturday all was. gloom ; it was understood that the city was to be sur rendered. The lower class of the citizens were in great distress from hunger, and 1 saw many instances of armed Bourgeois asking bread from the inhabitants, but they demanded nothing else. On Sunday, the 26th, there was a continued firing from the Bourgeois into the Park, but the Dutch being sheltered by a deep hollow, in which they were lying hid, could not have sus tained much lobs: the trees were the greatest sufferers.

How the Dutch came to quit the Park Ido not know, as I did not sec them decamp, but my opinion is that they " summoned up a coward mind, and ran away." The cowardice of the Dutch is, I fear, unbelievable, excepting by eye-witnesses. I who saw the wonder, can hardly imagine it possible: During all the period of the four days the Dutch threw occasional bombs, rockets, and red-hot shot into the city; they destroyed one or two houses, and excited the hatred and con tempt of all classes. These soldiers of Hol land, kept themselves out of the way of all danger, but made a most vigorous attack upon the dram-bottles, as the untenanted bodies of the numerous slain I found at ,their quarters amply evinced. The homely apophthegm says, that' Thitchmen'require their courage to be ex cited ; but nought excited that of the Dutch at BruSsels. Oxen and wain-ropes may drag them to the combat, but native courage never : they resist even the charms of their bottles. " A plagne of, all cowards 1" P.S.

This day, at two o'clock, the LORD MAYOR, attended by the SUERIFES and RECORDER, went in state to St. James's, to know his MA JESTY'S pleasure na to when be would honour the► City by dining with the Corporation. His M4JESTY was graciously pleased to ap point the 9th of November. His MAJESTY has not dined at Guildhall since the memorable time when the chandelier fell on the head of the Duke of CLARENCE, and SUMO others of the Nobility who surrounded the Low) ',WA you. The equipage of the new Sheriffs was remarkable for its splendour. His AJESTY liehl a Privy Council this day at James's Palace, which was attended by all the Ministers and great Officers of State. It is rumoured that several changes in the Adminis tration are about to take place. Sir GEORGE MURRAY, it is said, leaves the Colonial De partment, and is to succeed Lord HILL as Com mander of the Forces. We have not beard who is to be Sir GEoutim's successor. The German and Flanders Papers contain matters of muds interest. The Journal de lu Belgique, of Monday, stales that the Commis• siontus of the Provisional Government have just addressed a proclamation to the inhabitants o jossmay, announcing-.the surrender of the vita, del, and desiring them to respect the Dutch soldiers. The same authority adds, that M. NIELLON, Commander of the Free Corps, had an engagement on the 30th of September with a corps of Dutch troops near Mcerbeck, two leagues from Louvain. The battle lasted from one till five• in the afternoon. The Free Corps seem to have had the advantage. According to the Courier de la Sambre, Prince FREDERICK, after his retreat from Brussels, proposed the ex-, change of all the prisoners en masse on both sides, but did not agree to any other terms. The Provisional Government declined this proposal. Intelligence, received by way of Ghent, mentions that the Brabant flag is hoisted on the town-hall, that the fortresses of Bergen-op-Zoom, Bois-le- Duc, Gnaw, and Nimeguen, are going to be put in a state of defence ; that the garriSon of Niel'. port has laid down its arms, and that most of the troops are gone home. By the Journal du Gand, dated October 4th, we learn that a division of grenadiers entered Antwerp on- the night of the third. Altogether this Belgian revolution is a most complicated affair, and one that teems with hazard to the peace of the con tinent. Let it end when or whichever way it will, it cannot fail to put the RheniSh provinces of Prussia in jeopardy, and expose the political virtue of France to sad temptition. The follow. ing are extracts :--- NROM THURINWA, REPT. 24. We are sorry to learn that, notwithstanding the send ing of a Government Commission, no tranquillity is yet to be expected at Jena. The well disposed citizens, and the members of the university and the students, have, however, quickly formed themselves into a Burgher Guard, in order to oppose to the utmost any such excesses as lately occurred in Chemnitz and Altenburg. In case more vigorous measures should become necessary, but which the Government of Wiemar will not employ unless it is compelled to do so, a considerable military force is collected and quartered in Wiemar and its environs. Excesses have taken place also at Sulza, where two officers of the police who were obnoxious to the people were personally insulted, and a riot ensued. Commis sinners have been sent to that place also. If under such circumstances fears were entertained for Wiemar itself this may he excused, since the fact that it has been ascertained that the otherwise 60 loyal subjects of the Duchy of Wiemar, as well as those of the neigh bouring States, have been misled and deceived by the emis saries of a faction. A letter which the Municipal Council of the city of Wiemar has canted to be circulated, and which was written by Baron Von Seckentlorf, at Reichenbaelt, in Voigland, to a person high in office at Wiemar, gives to all the well disposed inhabitants of Saxony, Thuringia, and indeed of all Germany, the clearest indications respecting that wicked association which is at work in the dark to pro duce anarchy, the traces of which were first discovered at Altenburg, and its horrible plans detected. The citizens of Altenburg have found means to seize, by a stratagem, three of the ringleaders in the troubles in that city ; they were conveyed to the fortress of Leuchtenberg, near Kahle. A detachment of Prussian soldiers, a company of the 24th Regiment coming from Erfurt, fetched them away in the night of the 21st. It is said that one indivi dual is u member of the society above alluded to, and .belongs to a distinguialied fa►nily in Prussia. A basket maker, who was the most daring among the rioters at Altenburg, surnamed from his Herculean stature the '" Mturaniello of Altenburg," is one of the persons arrested. HANAILT, SEPT. 28. His Highness the Hereditary Prince arrived yesterday at Wilhelnethad, and immediately came into the town, where he was welcomed by the acclamations of all the inhabitants. Ile was pleased to address the multitude in the most affable manner, and in the kindest terms assured them' that the grievances of the citizens should be re dressed. His Highness Said, "lam a citizen and a friend to the citizens." These words charmed everybody. The Prince pitied the night in the Palace. HANOVER, BEI4. 22. The Royal Ch%rnber of Domainsauspentled, on the 13th of this month, throughout the kingdom the sale of corn from the magazines, it being his Majesty's intention to re serve it for times of scarcity, if they should occur, in order to be able to supply the poor with corn at a mo derate price. (From the Journal de la Belgique of Monday, Oct. 4.) 'BRUSSELS, OCT. 3. The ceremony which took place yesterday in the Place St. Michael, of the consecration of the last asylum of the brave men who fell in the defence of liberty and their counv y during the four days of September, wits as striking as fertile in subjects of profound meditation. An immense train cm. posed of the clergy of all the parishes, in all their sacer dotal paraphernalia, of the members of the Provisional Go vernment, of all the civil and military authorities, pre ceded and followed by detachments qf the volunteers of Liege Merles, and other towns of Belgium, lately arrived from Paris, &c., and accompanied by an innumerable crowd, proceeded slowly from the church of St. Gudule to the place of sepulture. There, in the midst of the most pro found attention of the persons present, the yoke of the priest invoked the blessing of heaven on the spot which was destined to receive the remains of our worthy fellow citizens, and to perpetuate the recollections of sorrow and of glory. After the consecration De-VandewcyCr spoke a few words in perfect unison with the feelings by which everyboly was inspired. We learn that the amount of the collection made yester day in the church of St. Gudule for the relief of the wounded was 250 florin, (about 20/.) This morning Te Demo was ?informed at St. Gudule for our late victories. The Commissioners of the Provisional Government have Just addressed a proclamation to the brave inhabitants of Tournay, announcing the surrender of the citadel, and desiring them tUrespect the Dutch soldiers. M. Niellon, Commander of the free corps, gives an account of an engagement which he had on the SOth of September, with a corps of Dutch troops near Meerbeck, two leagues from Louvain. The battle lasted from one till five in the afternoon. Niallon had 350 men with two pieces of cannon ; the Dutch had 3,500 men. The pea» stints say they had 60 killed and wounded ; the free corps which took part in the action, with the moveable fore* of Louvain, had two killed and five wounded. At night fall the volunteers returned to Louvain. • This action showed the Dutch were not afraid to attack them on the plain. 'The Courrier de la Sombre announces, that on the let instmt the people 'came to blow* With the trove in Namur, who are statid to have fired without the least pro. vocation on come of the inhabitants who we re c ro ca i ng t h e market-place without arms, of whom three are said to have heen killed. The citizens czasperated, attacked the troops, who returned to the rampart gates which are strongly for. tilted, and tired grape-shot on the citizens. After come desperate fighting, General Van Chen consented on the following *ley to evacuate the town, and retired into the citatle'. Everything belonging to government, cannon, aininonition, Bcc. remained in possession of the citizens. The 14:anomie had thirty killed ; the loss of the soldicis is also considerable. The Magistrates are going to communicate with the Provilionat Government at Drossy The national colours were hoisted at Menlo on the first of oi:hitter ; the soldiers put ell the posts in the possession of the inhabitants. The Provisional Government has published the report of M. de Gamow!, who wog vent to Price Frederick to treat for the exchange of Messrs. Dttepetiattx, Pletinclu, and Evrard. The Prince proposed the exchange of all the prisoners en mane on both aide', and would not agree to any other terms. The Provisional Govetnntent haa de• chnetl this proposal. OCT. 2. The Bth regiment of Hussars and the Alarechaussee set out this moment for Antwerp. The troops now in this citadel ere composed of three battalions of the 17th and three of the tithllivittion; When the soidieri of the 17th saw this morning from the bastion of the citadel the tri coloured flag hoisted on the steeple they waved the it yap, and, notwithstanding all the efforts of the 6th division, cried—" The 'Belgians for ever." We learn that Yesterday a meeting of the notables of the city o f Gh en t assembled to deliberate on the trossures to be adopted under present circurnstnees : a committee was chosen among them to go to the city comMittee and in quire what it had resolved. The latter stated that this mereing,the tricoloured flag would be hoisted at six Wein& in the presence of the Burgher Guard, anti that three of its members would to-day go to Brussels to ac knowledge the Provisional Government. A Brabant flag was hoisted this morning im the Town- WI. This event, which has been impatiently expected for some days, was answered by the ringing of the great 411.—Catholique. The fortresses of Bergen-op-zoom, Bois le Due, Groove, and Nimeguen, are going to he put in a state of defence. The garrison of Nieuport has laid down its arms; most of the troops are gone home. LIEGE, OCT. 2. We have the pleasure to announce the return of M. Gerlache, one of our Deputies to the States-General. He left the Hague with several of his colleagues after the Chamber had voted on the two questions. Couriers arrive at the Hague every moment, but only insignificant bulletins are published. The Ministers, Van Gobbelschroy and Lacoste, have run great danger : they are accused of having advised the Prince of Orange to his visit to Brustels. The Commercial Guards are every where put in motion ; there are hardly any troops in Hol land. Amsterdam is in great agitation. (From the Journal du Gaud, Oct. 4. ) GHENT, OCT. S. It is said that in consequence of differences between ;he Dutch and Belgian soldiers our citadel will be shortly evacuated. The Journal du Commerce des Pays lies, Of 2d Octo ber, says— " The corps of General Count Hielegers has not been able to effect its junction with that of Prince Frederick. "The division of grenadiers entered Antwerp last night. ," The formation of a line of operations from Antwerp to Miestrecht is spoken of." Le Beige says, the following news has been communi cated to us, but we do not warrant its authenticity. A General who arrived at Antwerp on the 29th, in the evening, announced to General Cliass6, that the King had declared, "He would rasher lose all Belgium than that the city of Brussels should be put to fire and sword, and that he will not haVe the blood of so many innocent per sons abed for a band of rebels." That all the demands made by the Belgians are granted by his Majesty; that the Hereditary Prince is named Viceroy, and will reside at Brussels • arid that a Proclamation to this effect is in the press at the Hague. Philippeville surrendered the day before yesterday, at nine in the evening ; the garriso», of 1,200 men, was ordered to march against an assemblage of 150 citizens, who advanced, crying "Liberty for ever !" The Go vernor ordered the soldiers to fire; but they refused, and joined the citizens. The garrison immediately put on the Brabant cockade, and continued to do duty as usual. The tri-coloured flag was hoisted at Fumes on the 29th. As the time appointed for the meeting of Parliament approaches, the Reformers, we are glad to perceive, are beginning again to bestir themselves. Mr. BROUGHAM and the West minster Review have led the way ; several pro vincial towns (Birmingham especially) have fol lowed; and now the important commercial district of Manchester is in the field. An animated meeting on the subject of Radical Reform was held near this latter place on Monday last, when some homely but sound and forcible truths were uttered by many of the speakers. Mr. JOHN KNIGHT, in particular, delivered himself with much good sense and with considerable effect, though, if instead, of giving a sketchy outline, he had gone more into detail on the fruitful ques tion of the country's embarrassments, he would have been listened to with deeper attention. We trust that every city, town, and borough throughout the kingdom, will now press the question of Reform on the consideration of his MAJESTY'S Ministers, for unless some such urgent entreaties are resorted io, unless the people show that they are really in earnest on the subject, moreover that they are determined to adopt every constitu tional means for seeing themselves righted, no thing, it is self-evident, will be attempted. Day by day the necessity fora temperate and rational change in the reFresentation becomes more pal pable ; what was before doubtful is now clear as the noon-tide sun ; thanks to the convincing practical arguments of those sapient borough mongers, the Duke of NEWCASTLE, the Mar quis of EXETER, and that paragon of gentle ness and docility, my Lord HUNTINGTOWER. These are the patriots who are just now doing their best to promote the cause of Reform, by illustrating in their own conduct the absurd tyranny of the present system. To these illustrious three, we believe we may add a fourth, on the authority of the Boston Gazette. " Discharges," says this Journal, " of various kinds to quit possession of lands, tenements, and hereditaments, have been flying about during the last week amongst the tenants of Lord YAW. BOROUGH, at Grimsby. If this be a system of intimidation, we are assured that his Lordship will find it a failure." We hope so, anti in the long run there cannot be a doubt of it. The Boroughtnongers have had their day, and that day is now fast setting. Sooner than allow them longer to continue their monopoly, it is better for the country to call unanimously for the ballot, which, though it has many objections, as we have before observed, is yet ten thousand times preferable to the present electioneering system. A letter from a respectable correspondent in Stamford gives a lamentable account of the state of that town, which goes far to prove that the fur ther existence of the Boroughmongeringsystem is wholly incompatible with the welfare of England. We should not omit to add, that the tri-colour —an emblem of awful import to these monopo lists--made its appearance at the Manchester meeting. By the Bermuda mail, we have Papers this morning from that island to the 22d August. Tha only information they convey is that the Officers of the Customs had received orders to discontinue the collection of the duty of 71. per tun heretofore levied on all French wines, and to charge the duties imposed by Act 6 GEo. IV., cap . 11.1, upon such wines in future. We have late commercial advices from Monte Video. Flour, during the months of June and J u ly, had undergone little variation in price. No importations of brown cottons had been made for some time, but the , price had not ma terially varied. Wines and spirit commanded a ready sale, and the supplies had been short. 01 sweet Malaga there was none in the market, and 110 dollars per pipe could be eaaily obtained.

By the former New Brunswick Papers to the 6th Sep tember, and Prince Edward Island Papers to Ist Septem ber, have been received at the North and South . American Coffee-house. (From the New Brunswick Paper of the 4th September.) TRADIE.It is with pleasure we state, notwithstanding the many complaints of the dullness of trade and scarcity of the circulating medium, there will be a greater number of large sized houses built in this town this year than any of the preceding years. The amount of imports and ex ports for the Midsummer quarter is greater, and the amount of duties paid during that period, both at he Customs and Treasury, far exceed the corresponding quarter of any pre vious year. The Halifax Royal Gazette contains Sir Peregrine Maitland's proclamation, dissolving the House of Assembly of Nova Scotia. His Majesty's ship Blanche arrived at Halifax in a wrecked and (Unlimited state from Jamaica. The. Prince Edward Island Papers state that the flag of the garrison was kept flying at half-mast for seven days, as a mark of respect to the memory of his late Majesty, and sixty minute guns were fired. LIVERPOOL, OCT. 4.—We have had an unusually dull week in British Plantation Sugar, the sales amounting scarcely to 100 hhds. Prices remain as last quoted. The public sales of Coffee have gone off this week with spirit at an advance on the inferior ; good and fair ordinary kinds are at an advance of 2s. to 31. per cwt. The demand for Cotton in the early part of the week was brisk, mad Liwer descriptions of Americans improved 0. per lb. Several cargoes of pine timber have arrived during the week, and the demand from the country having in some degree fallen off has caused the article to be rAtlier to 57 rs. to 40 lbs. Horse bides 14 to 15 each. Exchange on London 37 to 34. Doubloons 22i each. We have advices from Havanna!' this morn ing to the end of August. Many developments of the late conspiracy had at length been brought before the public. One of the conspirators, named COLES, who had received A partial par don from the KING, being sentenced to only ten years' exile, had disclosed all its mysteries, partisans, and purposes. The Military Com mission, which had taken cognizance of the offence, was advancing with the trials of the pri soners. Five hundred persons in Havanna(' were registered among the accused. Five had been already sentenced to death, and several others to ten years' labour in chains at . Ceuta.— The conspiracy, in its secrecy and plans, par took of the Masonic. The title and standard of the association was the Black Eagle. They issued diplomas to their confederates, and all who refused to adopt their principles, and be come co-conspirators, foreigners not excepted, were to be put to the sword, and their effects confiscated. Among the number were several citizens of wealth and consideration, several European military officers, lawyers, notaries, &c.; but by far the larger number in the plot of important and subordinate actors were found in the humbler walks of life, such as barbers, butchers, boatmen, &c. New disclosures were every day making. THE MARKETS.--(THIS DAY). CORN EXCHANGE. rade this worniug, but prices re- We have a very dull ti main without variation. ARRIVALS. Wheat. Harley. Oats.

ARBITRARY DISCIIAII STAMFORD ST TENANTS OF Loan EXEna.--We have great delight in being able to state that the discharges given by tenants of Lord Exarea have been withdrawn, and property in tended to be forced from its possessors remains unpur chased, since the appearance of our last paper. Instead of being compelled to pursue our painful though otherwise imperative duty of holding up any inhabitant of Stamford or its vicinity to the scorn, abhorrence, and legal hostility of his neighbours and customers, we have the much snore agreeable task of congratulating those persons on their re turn to the principles of equity, good sense, and kind feel ing. They need fear little front what the Marquis may now dare to do or threaten against them we mis take not, that nobleman, before long, will have occasion, as the Scotch say, to ' keep his ain breath to cool his ain porridge.'—,,Bruton Gazette. Extract of a letter from Valparaiso.— ,, The present state of affairs in Chili, by the latest news from the interior, is that General PRETAX has arrived at Acan mina with General VataL, the only Chiefs who escaped at the banks of the Monte on the 17th April, and had rallied and mustered about 2,200 nun, including militia, hut the presu m p t i on i s that the country is lost as the Pilecore (or Tory) party have gained the day, they having the money, so that you may say chili is lost at least for a few years." PARIS, OCT. 2.—A report was spread this morning that 4 note received from the English Cabinet gave the assurance that there would be no armed interven tion in the affairs of Belgium, and that the question would be the subject of diplomatic discussion.
