courier from Turin brought to Savoy, on the 2Gth the important intelligence that the Prince de Carignan has been acknowledged heir to the throne, has received from the King of Sardinia the title of Royal Highness, and has been appointed Generalissimo of the troops, in the room of the Austrian General Antucci. This is a check upon Austrian influence, and a triumph of the national and liberal opinion of the country. To rumours of the march of Austrian troops towards Piedmont have succeeded re ports of strict neutrality. The disposition of the people and the army continue the same. In Savoy there are &SOO Piedmontese soldiers.' "'The CM stitutionnel, after describing the nomination of the Duke de Nemours, and recommending the French Government to sanction it, as the only means of saving Belgium from anarchy, proceeds thus It appears al most certain that England will not precipitate herself into an unjust war, to violate, to the injury of her commerce and her repose, a right which she has herself loudly proclaimed —that of non-intervention ; and if England remain in peace, which is the Continental Power which will dare to defy France ? As to the rest, we throw out these re flections in haste, and reserve ourselves until the determi not ion of the Cabinet of the Palais Royal shall be known.' " The Quotidienne says—' The Polish Diet sent last month to Vienna Count Michaelowsky, whose mission was kept secret. It is asserted that this Envoy was charged to offer the throne of Poland to the Duke de Reichstadt, who in this case would have united Gallicia to his new States. The Cabinet of Vienna is said to have declined the proposal, its views respecting the Duke de Reichstadt being quite different. This Prince, it is added, is shortly to have an important post assigned him in the army of Italy." The Augsburg Gazette states that in the Rhenish provinces a great quantity of calf•skins are being bought up for France, probably for the purpose of making knap sacks. " CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES, FEB. 5. " Presidence of Monsieur de Lessert, (Vice-President.) " The sitting commenced at two o'clock, when the Chamber, according to the order of the day, proceeded to the reports of the commission on petitions presented to the Chamber by Rsputies and persons not belonging to the Parliament. " After which is announced the nomination of a com mission for the examination of the question of (amortisse snent) the sinking fund. Not a Minister at half-past two o'clock is in his place, perhaps to avoid a menaced interpella tion ofM. Mauguin relative to the news arrived this day from Belgium, of the nomination of the Duke de Nemours to the throne of that country. M. Dupin enters the House looking very much pre-occupied and pale in the face. General Lamarque stalks to his place with a large packet of papers containing, perhaps, his improvisation. The Ministers enter at twenty-five minutes to three in the following order :—Barthe, Soult, Lafitte. General Se bastiani arrived the sixth. " The two or three first petitions (when the report of the Commission was read) passed without much notice; but the Deputies weighed somewhat seriously on that re specting the liberation of transports, and the treatment of criminals imprisoned. _ _ _ " The President announced that the Minister of War (Marshal Soult), for the presentation of a project of law, would succeed at the tribune. This project was for the establishing of relief and pensions for officers and troops of the army ; likewise some innovations on the present system of pensions for wounds, &c. " After which the reporter of the Government Com mission read the King's ordinance on this subject. The leading of the project of the Minister of War and the Ordinance has taken so much time that it is suspected no thing will be said to-day upon Belgium. It is now four o'clock." (From the Temps of Saturday.) The following is an explanation of the pretended re port of an engagement between the Poles and Russians. M. Czembowski (a Polish Lieutenant) having been sent to reconnoitre with a party of 60 or 60 men, advanced as far as a Russian cantonment, occupied by 150 men, half of whom were Cossack cavalry. A slight skirmish ensued, in which the Poles obtained the advantage ; but they immediately afterwards retired within the lines of their own army. 'This affair was, of course, of no importance. General Diebitsch has not as yet made a movement; he has, more over, renewed his overtures to the Provisional Govern ment of Poland. (Frotn the Courrier Francais.) Wartsaw, JAN. 24.—The Sittings of the Chamber of Nuncios (Deputies), held on the 20th, commenced at six in the evening, but before two o'clock all the tribunes re served for the public bad been already occupied. The Marshal of the Diet having called over the names of the Members chosen to compose the Committee of the Diet, the Deputy Roman Soltyk rose to propose the exclusion from the throne of the present dynasty, and the modifica tion of the Manifesto issued, and which such decree re quired. The Marshal observed that "the regulation of the House must be complied with—namely, that every proposition be discussed previously to its being proposed in Chamber by a Committee. That, with regard to the Manifesto, it was not as yet offi.ially published, but merely submitted to the Dictator : that the latter had not authorised an official publication of it ; that several news papers had inserted it, but without the signatures; that it had been transmitted to foreign countries by private cor respondence, and not by diplomatical agents; that the Manifesto must first be recognised or publicly adopted by both Chambers ; and that afterwards a clause of the na ture of that proposed by M. Soltyk might be added to it." After a long discussion, the Chamber adopted the Mani festo, and appointed a Committee to publish it immedi ately, and add to it the article proposed by M. Soltyk.— The Chamber then deliberated on the choice of a Corn mander-in-Chief for the army, when it was resolved that the Chamber of the Nuncios should join that of the Sena tors, and proceed to that appointment. (Prince Radziwill was, as our readers know, subsequently appointed.) The Chamber of Senators elected Members of the Com mittee of the Diet the Casteilan Count Malachowski, for the Interior Administration ; the Casteilan Senators Le winski, Michel Potocki, and Bienkowski, for Civil and Criminal Le g islation ; and the Castellan Senators Glyfzezynski, Kochanowski, and Wodzynski, for the Fi nances. After his appointment to the Commander-in- Chief of the Army, Prince Radziwill (who was present), approached the seat of the President of the Chamber, and declared, in a loud voice, that he was extremely sensible of such a mark of confidence ; that he accepted the post to which he was raised ; and that in that new dignity he would prove himself what he always had been during his whole life.—(Cries " To Lithuania ! to Lithuania !" re sounded then throughout the Hall, and the Sitting was closed at ten o'clock, the immense majority of the Members joining in the cry of " To Lithuania !") The following day no Sitting took place, but on Satur day, the 23d, both Chambers met at ten o'clock in the morning. In that of the Nuncios, Francis Soltyk pre sented a written proposition to the Marshal, in which he represented tut the Deputies of the people, now assembled in Diet, had no power to declare that the dynasty at pre sent reigning in Poland had forfeited every right to the throne, or to proclaim the independence of the country, without being re-elected fur that purpose.—(Cries of " Order" prevented M. Soltyk front explaining the grounds of his motion.) A resolution was next submitted to the Chamber by the Committee of the Diet, which had for its object to regu late the mode of introducing new laws. 'Towards the end of the Sitting several addresses and petitions were read. In one of them the Nuncio Trzeinski called on the Chamber to appoint a Committee, which, without restricting the authority of the General-in-Chief, would nevertheless provide for the organization and wants of the troops. The draft of a proclamation was next read by the Nuncio Chomentowski, and another by the Com mander of the moveable National Guard of Cracow; both of which announced to the nation and the army " that Poland was constituted into an independent State, with the accession of the Polish provinces now subjected to Russia." Those three propositions were referred to a Committee. Another project of a proclamation, addressed to the Diet by an individual who did not give his name, contained an appeal to the people and the military; after which an address was read from the Poles in Paris, an nouncing that they would repair as soon as possible to their country, and that they would leave in Paris a Committee composed of Colonel Jerzinanowski and Messrs. Morawaki and Leonard Chodzko, to watch over the interests of Po land. An address was then received from the artillery, who tendered their oath of allegiance. Another from the Guard of the Students and Professors of the University, who requested of the Diet to be sent in detachments throughout the provinces, in order to give a new impulse to the public spirit, and to- the civil an d military autho rities, and to be commanded by the Nuncio Roman Soltyk. Both these documents were favourably received. The first ordered to be deposited in the archives, and the latter was to be referred to t he Commander-in-Chief. The Chamber of Senators unanimously adopted th e Manifesto voted by the Nuncios. The Castellane Dern browski having observed that a passage of the manifesto excluded from the dignity of Senators those who had been elected in 1829, immediately left the Chamber, and his example was followed by Krasinski, Lubinski, and Plater. The Casteilan Levinski, nevertheless eudeavoured to prove te passer... men. The Chamber then adopted the several laws ant reso lutions forwarded to it by the Nuncios, and adjourned till the 24th. The following is extracted from a Polish paper WARSAW, JAN. 18.—The day before yesterday the Dictator, having invited the deputation of the Chambers to call on him, declared that they should treat with the Emperor ; that he would not take upon himself to lead the army to battle, and that he was anxious to resig n th e authority lie had received from the Diet. He listened with the greatest attention to the observations submitted to him by the deputation, after which he handed them a letter from the Emperor, in which his Majesty tinta s him for the manner in which he administered the State, and requests him to conform to the instructions be had for warded to the Council of Administration, and another let ter written to the same effect by Prince Lubecki. Under such circumstances, added.he, I cannot continue the func tions of Dictator.—The Deputies then retired. Yesterday the deputation again mei in the morning, and sent a written message to the Dictator, to request that be would keep the command of the army. One of the members refused to sign it, because he considered it use less, after what had occurred. During that interval the deputation concerted itself with the superior officers, to ascertain what was their opinion in case the command in chief was confided to another General. These unani mously declared that the army was actuated by the purest patriotism, and ready to make any sacrifice. One of the Generals even added, with considerable energy, " I know the spirit which animates the defenders of the country. We have an entire confidence in the re presentatives of the.nation, and if they think proper to place a drummer at our head we will obey him." The same evening the Dictator communicated to the deputation a note, in which it was said, in answer to the representations which it had made to him, that he would only undertake the Dictatorship in case it were not limited. The deputation informed him that it had not the power of granting such an authority, and that it begged of him to present propositions himself to the Diet, which they were desirous should be opened on the 19th at latest. After this extraordinary event there must happen one of two things, either that the Dictator shall request the national representatives to commence their labours to-morrow, or that the deputation shall depose the Dictator and appoint a Commander-in-Chief of the army. that th, :e allude(' to am not concern LIIUSC g@IILIe• The journal from which we have copied this article states that, during the time of our brave Kosciusko and Ponia towski (this is a lesson addressed to the ex-Dictator), when Kosciusko arrived at Cracow, where he began the revolu tion, he said to the small number of soldiers who were to be under his command, " We are not sufficiently numerous to gain a victory, but we are strong enough to defend our country and die with honour." Poniatowski said at the moment that all hope had vanished from his mind, and when he threw himself into the waters of the Elster," God entrusted the honour of the Poles to me, and I shall re sign it to him alone." Can our present forces be compared to those under the command of Kosciusko? How different are the present times from those of Poniatowski.—Echo de la Poloyne. The Chamber of Peers will meet on Monday. (PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.) PARIS, Fan. s.—Government received, at six o'clock yesterday evening, a telegraphic despatch, announcing the election of the Due de Nemours to the throne of Belgium. —Journal des Debats. With this fact you are, probably, by this time ac quainted. A report is in circulation that our Government will now concur in the choice made by the Belgians ; while another, apparently better founded, states that the French Government will unequivocally decline the offer. Ere I shall close this letter I may be able to acquaint you whether or not this latter report be correct : the former is not credited. General Sebastiani's problem is thus on the point of being solved. The negotiations respecting Belgium have had a formal termination. The question of peace or war is, therefore decided ; but in which alternative ? That is the real question. The French Government cannot have been taken by surprise in this matter. It is impossible that the result of the election could have been known at the Palais Royal, for the first time, at six o'cloek last night. I am assured that Ministers were aware of it early yesterday morning, and that it was the subject under consideration by the Cabinet Coun cil, which assembled at balf-past eight o'clock yesterday morning, and sat until one in the afternoon, to the great disappointment, let me add, of Sir Sidney Smith, who repaired to the Palais Royal, at ten o'clock in the forenoon (in full uniform, and wearing all his orders), expecting, according to special appointment, to be received in a private audience by the King, but his Majesty was engaged at Council. The Gallant Admirararecep- tion did not, therefore, take place until after the Ministers 11A retired. The French Government is desirous of being allowed to remain at peace until, at least, she shall have completed her preparations for war. These are in progress, and have proceeded with an activity highly creditable to Marshal Soult, but they have not equalled in success his similar exertions in the three months (the 100 days) of 1815. This difference is, however, easily accounted for, without taking into view the aid which Napoleon himself gave to the Minister of War. The French soldiers returned from the prisons of England, Austria, Prussia, and, in particular, Russia, were sufficient of themselves to form, and they did form, a fine army; but the succeeding 14 years having been effectually spent in destroying the French army, the materials at hand, thougk physically excellent, were not so available as those which presented themselves to Marshal Soult on the former occasion. France is not yet ready for war. Nothing, I repeat, is wanting on the part of the Minister to reach the desired point ; but it is yet to be attained. One fact will show the anxiety to qualify as soon as possible the young soldiers for a campaign—they are drilled incessantly throughout the day, and during several hours of the night. The con scription of 1830 will be called into activity next month. The French Government may desire peace. I know that those who would be among the very first to learn a contrary determination assert that " there will be no war;" and I know that they state so to all their friends and acquaintances; but, paradoxical as it may appear, it is because they are the most likely to be the best in formed that 1 doubt the truth of their assertions. You will have found, in the resolutions submitted yes terday to the Chamber of Deputies by Marshal Soult, an abundance of colour for scepticism respecting the professed pacific intentions of the French Government. The first part of the first of those resolutions proposes that " there shall be formed a foreign legion. I pass over the reasons given by the Minister of War for proposing this measure, as well as the concluding words of the article (viz. " des tined to be employed out of the Continental territory of the kingdom"), and I do so because neither appear calcu lated, in the slightest degree, to satisfy the Sovereigns of the respective countries of which the contemplated fo reign legioneers may be natives, that such an institution is compatible with the safety and tranquillity of those States respectively. The whole of Marshal Soult's reasoning is quoad France. Piedmont and Savoy, and Switzerland, and Spain and Portugal, and their dependencies, and Italy, are not within " the Continental territory of the kingdom (of France);" but is it likely that the regenerat ing of the political emigrants from Sardinia and Italy in general, to say nothing of those from other countries, will be acquiesced in by the great Continental Governments. In the sweeping admission of the whole regiment of Flohenloe within these two months to the rights of French citizenship, we see how easily the proposed " Foreign" Legion may become " French:" But it would be idle to push an argument farther, which has only for its object to account for an impression which may be erroneous— namely, that the French government sees that war is in evitable ; for I can conceive no possible step better adapted than this to give offence to foreign nations. One word more. There have been raised by conscrip tion in France within the last three months 148,000 men. There have been of voluntary enlistments since the Re volution, (six months only) 70,000. In all 250,000. The levy for 1830 will in another month have increased the number added to tke French army since the 29th of July to 350,000 men. • A report has prevailed here also that an armistice has been agreed to between the Poles and Russians. BOURSE, Fouu O'CLOCK._It is asserted here, all but officially, that Government have refused to accept for the Duke de Nemours the crown of Belgiam. I have just been to the Chamber of Deputies, where a coMmunication to that effect will, it is expected, be made by General Sebastiani. The rejection of the offer of the Belgians above alluded to has produced, as you will per ceive, a trifling rise in the Funds.

The proposed Protocol against the Protocol of 20th Ja nuary was taken into consideration. M. Barthelemy would strike out the expressions which contain a kind of appeal to the people. There are (he says) two kinds of Protest, one offensive, and the other defensive. The first would have a dangerous effect, and put us in a state of war with the Powers who appear to re-assume the right which they bad in 1815, i.e., the right of conquest. The separation of Belgium and Hol land has been desired by the States-General, and agreed to by the King. The parties themselves have therefore re cognised the separation. We cannot resist the will of the Powers, but we ought to protest and negociate before we make the new Sovereign sworn to maintain the inte grity of the territory. We must also hasten to conclude an alliance with France, which can alone save us from the Holy Alliance. M. Van Meenens—ls surprised at the protocol of the 20th of January, which is signed only by Lord Ponsonhy, arid not by the Plenipotentiaries of the five Powers. The context of the decuinent is such that it is difficult to say whether it expresses views or resolutions. The object of it is to realise the protocol of the 20th of December, which called on us to send to the Congress Commissioners invested with powers. so ample that they might be con sulted. Were they consulted, and what did they propose? —(Cries from the gallery, " The Head of the State—the Head of the State.") The President (to the gallery)--Those who desire us to proceed with the discussion on the election of the Head of the State shew their ignorance. We must first secure our independence and integrity of the territory. If these cries continue I will have the gallery cleared. M. Van Meenen continued. He thought that the least unfavourable sense should be put on the protocol, and that we should answer to the Powers that we will take it into consideration, convinced that they have not intended to decide on what concerns us without having heard us. We should protest, not offensively or defensively, but hy pothetically.—(A noise in the galleries.) M. Lebeau observed to the President that his indul gence only encouraged the evil-minded, and called on him to have them turned out.—(" Bravo" from the galleries.) The President ordered the Commander of the Civic Guard to bring a piquet into the galleries to maintain order, and turn out those who made any disturbance. A detachment accordingly entered, and was placed behind the spectators. M. Nothomb said the protocol, though of the 20th of January, was not presented till the 29th, because it was not delivered at Brussels till ten in the evening of the 28th; it was first sent to the Diet at Frankfort, which met on the 25th, and is doubtless engaged in what has been presented to it respecting Luxembourg. The pro vince of Liege left to Belgium, in opposition to the system of 1790, is now given as a compensation for Luxembourg, which is taken away. He entered into some details re specting the ancient possessions of the Dutch at Lemberg. The protocol should be hypothetical, as M. Van Meenen proposes. A partial discussion took place, and a few changes were made in the proposed protest. The concluding declaration was adopted on the terms originally proposed by the Com mittee, but with the suppression of the whole of the last paragraph but one, expressing reliance on the justice of the cause and the sympathy of all nations, and a reso lution to denounce to the civilised world the wrong of which the country would be the victim. The majority was 163 to 9 in favour of the protest. The debate on the choice of a Sovereign was resumed. M. H. de Brouckere voted for the Duke of Leuchtenberg, Messrs. Claus, Robaulx, and Gendebien, for the Duke of Nemours. M. Gundebien, in a long speech, expressed his opinion that the choice of the Duke of Nemours was the only means of preventing the union with France, and preserv ing our nationality. He announced that, whatever may happen, the citadel of Antwerp will be demolished. The Sitting broke up at twelve o'clock.. BausszLs, - Fcs. 2.—Two French Cabinet messengers arrived yesterday morning from Paris, with despatches for the French Legation, and set out in the afternoon with despatches for the Hague. A British Cabinet mes senger also arrived yesterday afternoon, with despatches for the Hague, and set out in the night with other de spatches for London. Twelve cotton spinners have been arrested at Ghent, for crying out " The Prince of Orange for ever !—Our good father William for ever !" A trzwEar.—Yesterday morning six of the gun-boats dropped down to Lille, but returned in the evening with four others, so that we have twelve of them off the city, all adorned with flags on account of the fete of the Princess of Holland. There is so much ice in the river that if it freezes to night the navigation will be interrupted. The Lunar American brig- is in sight, and will arrive in the basin this evening. This is the most interesting.—Brussels Papers, Feb. 3. Fnom GALLICIA, lax. 14.—Fourteen young men, with their arms, have been brought to Lemberg, escorted by a strong detachment of cavalry, and thrown into pri son. A Polish superior officer is said to have led them, and to have been taken with them. The military precau tions taken in Lemberg against eventual disturbances, which can be expected only from inconsiderate and idle young men, are said to have been increased since the arrest of those 14 persons, but no symptoms of disturb ance have been manifested, which, in fact, considering the vigilance and strength of the troops, and the good dispo sition of the citizens of Lemberg, must certainly prove fatal to the authors. The citizens have, by a deputation to the Burgomaster, declared their inviolable fidelity to the Emperor, and their resolution to devote their life and fortune to maintain* order in the capital.

(The speaker then dwelt on the itnpropriety of being enthusiastic in favour of Princes whom we have never seen, whom we do not know, and one of whom is almost a child.) " M.

Roden hach, in which it appears that hatred to the family of Nassau is tke greatest virtue: he votes for the Duke of Leuchtenberg. _ _ _ " M. Van de Weyer—Gentlemen, after all that you have heard, it is difficult to say anything new. The whole system of conjectures is exhausted. All have shown war to be inevitable by the election of any candidate except the one proposed by themselves. Gentlemen, Ido not think war possible. The Powers are resolved to stifle at all events the conflagration that threatens to become general. The election of the Duke de Nemours will agree with the views of the Powers. It ►will calm on the other hand the self-love of the French, who demand the Rhine as their boun dary. In England above 100,000 petitions from the manu facturing towns have declared against war, adding, that if it was undertaken they would refuse to pay the taxes. You protest against the maintenance of the treaties of 1814 and 1815, and you say that the election of the Duke de Leuch tenberg can alone be reconciled with the maintenance of those treaties. Besides, you forget that by those very treaties the whole family of Buonaparte, in which the Duke de Leuchtenberg is included, is excluded from all sovereignty in Europe. Besides, I can declare that the Prince, if elected, will never set foot in Belgium. Like his father, he is too sensible of what he owes to France to think of reigning at its doors in spite of it. One of the Members of this assembly, who has declared most openly in favour of the Prince Beauharnois, has received a letter from the Duke de Bassano, announcing the Prince's refusal I have been surprised to hear that the Duke deLeuchtenberg has an agent at Brussels : Ido not know him. The only person who has made some half official communication respecting this election is gone to Paris, and thence to Munich, though he promised to come back to Brussels. , "fhe speaker thee enumerated the advantages that ensue ion of elect )1 thi If Nemouft. A fear has been expressed that the Duke of Nemours may bring to this country an opposition to the Catholic worship, and a conformity to the principles of the Gallican Church. No, gentlemen, there is nothing to be feared on that side. " M. Lebeau—The preceding speaker has said that the Duke de Nemours would accept, but as we have official notice of the refusal of that Prince, I will ask the speaker, as President of the Diplomatic Committee, whether he has received the official revocation of the refusal, and the cer tainty that the Cabinet of London will approve such choice. "M. Van de Weyer—l said I was convinced that the Duke de Nemours would accept. I did not say that I had proofs of the acceptance, for ill had had any, it would have been my duty to say so. I have now the honour to announce to the National Congress, that I have just re ceived official notice of the revocation of the refusal of the Duke of Nemours, in case lie should be chosen Sovereign of Belgium. (After some further discussion, during which M. De leuze proposed the Archduke Charles of Austria in a speech, several passages of which excited loud laughter in the assembly, the sitting broke up.) " There still remain six Members to give theiro:pinions. " BRUSSELS, FEB. 3.—There have been very serious disturbances at Ghent. It seems that a Frenchman, an officer of Volunteers, was at the Bruges gate, at the head of a battalion, and proclaimed the Prince of Orange. The firemen and the chasseurs assembled at the Palace of the Government, and after a brisk fire of musketry, we hear, just as we are going to press, cries of Victory to the Bel gians !' and the whole troop of the Orangeists was dispersed." (From the Journal de la Belgique.) " The lamentable occurrence that took place at Ghent is thus related by the Journaldes Flandres : Assemblages of people are forming in all parts of the town. It is stated that a Frenchman, who commands the volunteers is at the Bruges gates, at the head of a battalion, proclaiming the Prince of Orange. The Pompiers and Chasseurs are assem bling at the Government Hotel, a few steps from our office. Muskets are firing. The Pompiers have four pieces of cannon. The crowd increases every moment. Duvivier is proceeding with troops towards the Bruges gate. The report of fire-arms is heard at a distance. The body of an Orange chief has this instant been carried past our officer. P. S. At the moment of going to press, we hear shouts of ' Victoire au Beiges !' All the, Orange troops have begin dispersed. The following are the particulars : Colonel Ernest Gregoire, a Frenchman, and Captain de Bast, a known Orangeist of our town, came to the Bruges gate at the head of a battalion. Their intentions were of a very suspicious nature. They succeeded in making their way quickly and without noise, into the court of the Go vernor's house. All wore the national colours. Ernest Gregoire alone went up to the Governor, and summoned him either to proclaim the Prince of Orange or to resign. M. Lambert Cortenbach replied to this abominable propo sition with his well-known firmness. Gregoiresaid he would order his troops to advance, which he did. Upon this the Pompiers came up with several pieces of cannon, of which some use was made. A fire of musketry ensued. In leas than half an hour, 50 of the enemy were made prisoners, and five were killed in the Court of the Governor. The number of wounded is said to'be considerable. The Burghers all came up in arms, but their assistance was not required. Most of the enemy's troops now dispersed as soon as they knew what cause they were called to support. The others marched, without uttering a word, wherever de Bast led them. Part of the Government Hotel had been occupied by surprise before the arrival of the Porn piers, who were fired upon from the windows. It was difficult to drive the enemy from this position, but the courage of the Pompiers facilitated the enterprise. One Pompier was killed, and three wounded. De Bast, who is severely wounded, was conducted by the furious populace to the Government Hotel. The Commandant, Van de Peele, and several officers tore him from the hands of the multitude ; and, to secure bum against the effects of the general indignation, placed him in one of the rooms of the Governor's residence." (Prom the Emancipation.) " General Duvivier has addressed to the Commissary- General of War the following report on the affair of Ghent : " Scarcely had General Vauthier made his arrange ments for executing the orders referred to in my despatch, No. 230, when the troops of Gregoire, amounting to nearly 450 men, after having forced the guard at the Bruges gate, came into the middle of the town, one half taking the direction of the residence of the civil Govern ment, and the other that of the Hotel de Ville, where nearly 150 men ranged themselves before my office. They committed some mischief at the Government-house, and forced their way into the office of the Governor. But scarcely had this taken place when the orders I had issued were put into execution. The Ponipiers dispersed the in truders by a few volleys. In the wean time I went to the barracks, and placed myself at the head of the first battalion of the Brussels Chasseurs ; the rest of the battalions followed with enthusiasm. I directed General Vauthier towards the citadel, in order to place it in safety, and at the same time to come with a battalion, with two pieces of cannon, to my support, but a few musket-shots put an end to the affair. One hundred of the insurgents threw down their arms, and surrendered ; others dispersed, and concealed themselves in the houses ; and I have just received intelligence that Gregoire is in flight on the road to Bruges, with about 150 men. I have sent a party in pursuit of him. Some of his officers are prisoners ; among whom is Captain de Bast, who is at this time under examination before the Civil Governor, to whom he has made some discoveries. I have nothing but praise to bestow upon the whole gar rison. The inhabitants, with a few exceptions, also con ducted themselves well. lam now making arrangements to clear the road from Sas, in order to guard against all possible attempts from the Dutch. (Signed) " • Baron DUVIVIER.' " We lament to say, on the authority of ac counts which we have recently received from Ireland, that the most serious apprehensions for the peace of that country are to be entertained. We were disposed to re ceive such accounts with mistrust ; but we have arrived at the painful conviction that they are only too well founded. The most vigorous measures are evidently called for, both of conciliation and coercion. —Morning Chronicle. We believe that Lord CLEVELAND, amongst other great borough proprietors, having maturely pondered on the necessities of the times, has come to the wise determi nation of strenuously supporting Reform in Parliament, as the only sure protection of law and property against the dangers of a violent revolution.— Times. It has been remarked that Mr. KEAN'S me mory sometimes fails him. This was particularly obvious very lately, when, on re-appearing before a London audience, he forgot that he had a few months previously taken final leave.—Morning Paper. PEYRONNET and POLIGNAC have had seri• ous differences since their imprisonment in the fortress at Ham, and on one occasion, as appears from a private cor respondence, the infuriated lawyer threw a candlestick at the head of the Prince, which fortunately missed him. The Prince has petitioned the Government of France that h e may be separated from his companion. —Morning Citron. DINNER TO THE CHAMBERLAIN Or LON now.—On Saturday a dinner was given at the London Tavern to Sir JAMES Siraw, the Chamberlain of the city, on the occasion of his election. About SOO gentlemen sat down, at six o'clock. Sir Cita ELES PRICE, hart., was in the chair. It is rather a remarkable circumstance that during the last six weeks a north and north-east wind has been accompanied by a thaw, and a • south and south-west one always by a frost. Capt. GOBLE, father of GOBLE, who was lately transported for life, for machine•hreaking, &e., was so much affected at the sight of the van which conveyed his son to Portsmouth, that he fell down and died almost instantly. Various conjectures have been hazarded as to the object of Prince LEOPOLD'S recent interviews with Earl GRIT ; some persons imagining that they have taken place in consequence of a revived idea of the Prince b.ing a candidate for the throne of Belgium ; while others in sinuate that the Premier is endeavouring to induce his Highness to make some concession from his large income to the wants of the times and the altered •alue of money. The chymists employed by the Board of Ex cise have been for some time engaged in a course of ex periments for the discovery of a test by which the presence of any deleterious mixtures in malt liquors might be de tected, and have, we are assured, been completely success ful. It is, we understand, the intention of the Board to give notice of the discovery to all brewers and dealers in beer, after which both breweries and public-houses will be visited by officers instructed in the use of the test liquor, a few drops of which will be sufficient to discover any adulteration, and wherever it is found, after such notice, the Board are determined to enforce the highest penalty. This, it may fairly be presumed, will ensure to the public a wholesome beverage. The scientific gentlemen by whom this important discovery has been mac., are now busily engaged in a series of experiments for the discovery of a similar test for spirits. LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 7, 18111. By the Brussels Papers, it will be seen that the National Congress have chosen the Duke DE NEMOURS to be King of Belgium. Before com ing to this conclusion two divisions took place. In the first there were, 191 Members present, of Whom 89 voted for the Duke DE NEMOURS ; 67 for the Duke DE LEUCHTENBERG ; and 35 for the Archduke CHARLES of Austria. None of the candidates having the absolute majority required (96), a second ballot waa'made, of 192 votes, the Duke de Nemours had 97 Duke de Leucktenberg 75 Archduke Charles 2l The Duke of NEMOURS having the absolute ma jority of the votes, the President proclaimed Louis CHARLES PHILIP D'ORLEANs, Duke of NEMOURS, King of the Belgians. The election of the Duke di NEMOURS to the Throne of Belgium may be regarded in several points of view. Firstly,—lt is a proof of the success of the policy which France has pursued during the late negociations. Secondly,—lt is a victory gained by the Liberal Party of Europe over that of the Abso lutes. Thirdly,—lt bids fair to provoke hostilities on the part of the Continental Allies. The conduct of the French Government in regard to the Duke de LEUCIITENBERG may appear some what tortuous, if not disingenuous, to persons in this country. But the feeling of the French nation is decidedly for availing itself of the opportunity presented by the position of Belgium for the exten sion of French influence, if not of the French ter ritory. Public opinion in France acts more directly upon the Government than in any other country, and the French Cabinet therefore, whilst it was obliged to dissimulate to the Allies its desire to get possession of Belgium, could not reject the occasion which enabled it to further the national wishes. We believe it will be impossible for Louis PHILIPPE to refuse the Crown tendered to his second son, how ever reluctant he may be to avoid further offence in the eyes of the Great Powers. Henceforth we regard France and Belgium as united, for the nominal independence of the latter will, of course, be merged in the French Cabinet, Thus France is armed with new force to contend for civil liberty and social Reform, in behalf of her self and weaker States. France, which has twice so dearly bought her freedom, is the champion on whose strength the people of the South—the Spaniards and Portuguese, the Italians, the Swiss, and all others who groan under oppression, must rely for breaking one day their chains. The present crisis tends to further the advance of constitutional liberty in Europe, and to weaken the arm of the despot and oppressor in the world. To what extent the rage of the Allies will carry itself, it would be premature to speculate. The chances, however, are, we fear, against the preserva- tion of peace. If war should be the result, (in which Great Britain would, we trust, be neuter), there is then this encouraging consolation—that war is the instrument which Providence has ordained for the subjugation and extinguishment of those forces which obstruct the progress of the human race in civilization and happiness, and that those who fight on the side of humanity will draw their swords in the most noble and the most just of contests. !IMAM OF STC ACS THIS Sank !kock 3'pet Cent. lied. 3 per Cent.

NATIONAL CONGRESS.—Sterma OP FEB. 4. The continuation of the discussion on the election of a Sovereign being the order of the day, M. Deshivaux and M. Treulesseaux waved their inten tion of speaking. M. Delceuir spoke against the choice of the Duke of Nemours, and would vote for the Duke of Leuchtenburg, since lie must make a choice, though be knew that that of the Duke of Leuchtenburg was not without inconvenience. M. Devaux—An important letter has been circulated among the members of this assembly, which I desire may be communicated to the Congress. Lebeau--Not only should this letter be read, but I call for the printing of it. I am astonished at all these roundabout communications. Several Members expressed a wish that the letter should be read. M. D'Arsehot—l have not the letter. M. Van tie Weyer, I have it, and if the Assembly de sires —(On all sides, Yes ! yes !)—The Assembly decided that the letter should be read. official d ocument M.

It is as follows :-- " Paris, Feb. 1, 1831. s ra ,—lf, as I hope, you have not yet communicated to the Belgian Government the protocol of 20th January o4u will oppose this communication, because the King's Government has not assented to it. In question of the debts, as well as of limits of the Belgian and Dutch territory, we have always understood that the concurrence and consent of both States were necessary. The Congress at London is a mediation, and it is the intention of the King's Government that it should never lose that character. " Accept, &c. " Holum SEBASTIANI." " To M. Bresson." M. Lebeau desired that the document might be printed, that its existence or contents might not be denied in case of any change in the French Cabinet. M.
