The following has been published as the substance of a Ma. nifesto said to have been delivered to the Foreign Minister of the King of the Netherlands by the British Charge d'Affaires at the Hague. It bears the date of the 10th of February, four days prior to that of the note which we inserted yesterday " Art. 1. After having exhausted every means of concilia tion, in order to bring about an amicable arrangement between the Powers (Holland and Belgium), his Britannic Majesty, with the consent of the King of the French, has resolved, that if by the 15th of the next month his Dutch Majesty does not send to the Foreign-office a note, which shall indicate the principal bases on which the 'Dreaty of Commerce between the two belligerent Powers is to be founded, the French army, supported by an English squadron,- shall once more cross the Belgian territory, and this time shall not return until the treaty of the 15th of November, 1831, shall be entirely ac complished. " Art. 2. The embargo on Dutch vessels, both of war and merchantmen, shall be maintained, both in France and Eng land, until the accomplishment of the said treaty. " Art. 3. France and England, before having recourse to coercive measures, will require that the Dutch Government abolish the right of toll lately established. " Art. 4. The Governments of France and England, wishing to establish the commercial bases of the two Governments on an amicable footing, and not wishing the Treaty to be entered into between them to be burdensome to either Power, have endea voured to balance the interests of the two belligerent Powers, so that the Treaty may be signed and ratified at the Hague and at Brussels in the course of the month of Marah of the pment year. " Art. 5. The undersigned Representatives of France and England conclude by repeating to the Dutch Government what has already been said in the first article of this note, and hope that his Dutch Majesty, feeling the necessity of terminating a question which keeps the commerce of the whole of Europe in suspense, will cut the gordian knot, and send them propositions which they can accept. (Signed) " TALLEYRAND, " London, 10th February. " PALMERSTON." LORD SPENCER CHURCHILL.—The lovers of humour will find an inexhaustable source of mirth in the sayings and doings of this eccentric naval officer as detailed in " Whychcotte of St. John's." His MAJESTY is said to have laughed heartily at Lord SPENCER'S chival rous enterprise, and its droll termination. DREADFUL G A LE.—Wednesday it blew one of the severest gales from the south-east that we have had this season. Abeut seven o'clock A. M. a sloop was ob served in the roads in a very dangerous plight. At con siderable hazard, she was boarded by a pilot-hoe from Newhaven, when, to the astonishment of the pilots, no person was found on board. She was fast filling with water, but her fires were still burning. The pilots could render no assistance to save the vessel, and had scarcely left her when she went down. By the name on the stern, she was discovered to be the Mary Ann, of Perth, and was laden with coals. A painful uncertainty prevailed for two days in regard to the fate of the crew, but we are happy to say that they have now cast up. The Maty Ann had run foul of another vessel, and having become leaky in consequence, the crew abandoned her, and having gone on board of another vessel, were safely landed above the Ferry. One of the most experienced Newhaven men, who was out the whole of Wednesday evening in an open boat, informs us that the gale was most tremendous, and the escape of himself and crew was the most providential thing imaginable. Not so the case of many of the others who were iu the fleet of het ring fishing boats which we re abreast of the island of May, when the gale carne on. '1 be hurricane came from the SS.E., and the sea which came along with it was dreadful. The Newhaven boats not being so well acquainted with the Fife coast, resolved, in general, to scud before the wind, and we are happy to say that all of these hardy and industrious men have been ac counted for. Our informant, however, states that in their passage up the Firth, they saw a fishing-boat, keel up, the crew of which must have found a watery grave. In addition to this, we have just learned from the Master of one of the Elie packets, that the loss of lives in that quarter is most melancholy and heart-rending. Already it has been ascertained that six boats with crews of five each have been lost, and not a soul on board survives to tell the melancholy tale,—Scotsman. FOREIGN EXCHANGES ON LONDON.

The Irish Bill of Lord GREY (unless greatly mo dified) is a melancholy specimen of legislation for a Reforming Ministry to bring before a Reformed Parliament. If the Government had demanded 10,000 additional troops, or twice that number, and announced its intention to coerce the people of Ire land, Catholics and Protestants—to afford protec tion to ALL, and make the laws respected and obeyed by ALL—to put down Whitefeet and White boys, Orangemen, and the Orange constabulary force, without distinctioT—the proposition would have been intelligible- 7 the proceeding might have been violent, but the principle would have smacked of justice. The Bill brought forward by Ministers is an un worthy imitation of their predecessors, who, at in tervals, systematically visited Ireland with similar enactments, to uphold the odious tithe system and Orange ascendancy; and the present wretched state of that unhappy country affords a practical illustration of the consequences. What reasonable expectation is there that the pending 8.11, embodying similar, if not worse provisions, will be productive of better results ? Will it not per petuate faction—enable a minority of little more than one-eighth, to insult, oppress, and goad to desperation the other seven-eighths of their country men? Its provisions can only be enforced by arming Orangemen against Catholics, by delivering the latter into the hands of their enemies, those modern Phi listines, an Orange Magistracy, and constabulary force,—a party forCe, that as often provokes as re presses violence, and not 'infrequently commits ex cesses as criminal as those it is its ostensible duty to put down. Judging from past experience, there is too much reason to fear the scenes of 1798 will be renewed, when Mr. STANLEY may secure a niche in the temple of Fame beside his predecessor, Lord CASTLEREAGH, whose name will live while history lasts, the envy of no man. The policy of Ministers, touching Ireland, resem bles the breath of a satyr,—with one breath they soothe the anguish of past misrule by bringing for ward in the House of Commons a measure of Church Reform, which may never pass the Lords; with . the next they seem to destroy the hopes they had inspired, by bringing forward the Bill the Lords have passed, with the concurrence of the Conser vatives of Charles -street, whose support suffi ciently characterizes its principle. If the latter Bill should pass the Commons, and the former be thrown out by the Lords, what will then be the state and the fate of Ireland ? Mr. STANLEY, it is true, threatens, if both be not passed, Ministers will resign—had the threat been confined to one resignation, the public sentiment would not have been equivocal. The Right Hon. Gentleman has declared that "a Government must be feared in order to be loved.' Having been inocu lated by the Orangemen who infest the purlieus of the castle, with the fearand dread they entertain that the days of plunder and oppression are passing away, he (influenced by this fear) first advocates the Bill, and then (with him love follows fear) proclaims his affectionate regard for the Irish people ! I Lord MELBOURNE, when advocating the Bill in the House of Lords, admitted that "redress of grievances is the best way of putting an end to dis turbances." The Bill is now before a Reformed House of Commons, who, we trust, will fulfil the honest expectations of the country, and legislate on the just and sound principle admitted by Lord MEL BOURNE in debate, that " redress of grievances is the best way to put an end to disturbances," — and, if the Bill be passed in any shape, take ample care that remedial measures shall accompany it hand in hand, and that it shall not have any operation till those measures are placed beyond jeopardy in the Lords. Since the above was written, we have received an account of a great Meeting which took place yesterday, at Birmingham—and a full report of which will be found in another page—in which the conduct of the Ministers towards Ireland, as respects their coercive measures, was made the sub ject of very severe animadversion. We cannot but again entreat Ministers to take timely warning by this sign of the times, and so modify the obnoxious clauses in the Bill, that it may obtain the support of all well-wishers of a Reform Ministry, without unnecessarily trenching upon that birthright of the subject—Constitutional liberty. By two lengthy advertisements which figure in the front columns of a morning contemporary , we perceive that the work of wholesale confiscation in Poland goes ou with portentous rapidity. The Russian Nero does not do his work by halves. He is not turned from his purpose by any idle com punctious visitings of conscience—we wonder whe ther he has ever read or heard of such a word?—but presses straight on to the end, banishing—impri soning—confiscating—and dyeing his every step in blood, as if such acts were among the favourite pastimes—the legitimate occupations—the heredi tary duties of a Russian Czar, the sole implied conditions on which he accepts the imperial throne. The advertisements in question, contain a copious catalogue of the confiscated estates in Volhynia, by which it appears that the whole, or nearly the whole province, is at this moment actually on sale I This notification is made in the most terse, business-like fashion, and reads, for all the world, just like one of GEORGE ROBINS' auction advertisements. The Czar announces his intention of selling, not a petty es►ate, or even a diminutive Duchy, but a whole Polish province, with all its live-stock, consisting of some hundreds of thousands of men, women, and children, with a coolness and sang froid which an English Nobleman compelled to part with his patrimonial estates, would find it vain to equal. He puts tip—the Imperial slave dealer—human life to auction ! He traffics—thellmperial butcher—in human flesh and blood! See what it is to be a Legitimate ! See what it is to be possessed of " the right divine of Kings to govern wrong !" A word, nay, a whisper, from England and France, spoken in due season, would have prevented this unparalleled outrage on humanity. But that word was not spoken—that whisper was not breathed—and what is the consequence ? The noblest nation in all Europe is at this very moment on the verge of absolute annihilation. There is to be a meeting to-day between a Depu tation of the West India Interest and the Govern ment, in order to arrange, if possible, some plan for a settlement of the differences at issue. The fol lowing plan, from the Morning Advertiser, was pretty generally talked of yesterday in circles sup posed to be well-informed on the subject : " The plan digested by Ministers for the emancipation of the slaves in our West India settlements, and for the relief of the Planters, was communicated on Saturday last to several distin guished individuals interested in West India property, which it is expected will be brought forward this evening or to-morrow in the House of Lords, by the Secretary of State for the Colonies. " The debts of the West India Planters, &c., are estimated at thirty millions sterling, for which it was agreed to pay the mort. gagces six per cent. ; but, from the great deterioration of West India property, the mortgagors have not been able for some time past to fulfil their engagements. It is now proposed by Go vernment to pay off the mortgagees at the rate of 10s. in the pound, thus reducing the debt to fifteen millions, by an issue of Exchequer Bills, bearing three per cent. interest, which accom modation will be a remuneration to the proprietors of West India property in all the West India islands, for the emancipation of their slaves. Should this arrangement for the relief of the planters be agreed to, by the planters, &c., and the Legislature, the slaves in all our West India Islands, in a given time, will be made free. Preparatory to the measure being carried into effect a police force is to be sent out to each island to organize an additional force for the protection of the planters against any ebullition of the emancipated slaves, and to oblige the latter to cultivate the soil. It is also stipulated in the arrangement that the West India proprietors are to have the exclusive monopoly of the English market for the sale of the produce of the islands." The stipulation in the last paragraph is, we believe, incorrect. The West India interest wish to obtain this exclusive privilege; but the Government being naturally anxious to protect all classes of his Ma jesty's subjects, have not consented—and will not consent, because such monopoly would keep East India sugar entirely out of the home market, which would be manifestly unjust. The deputation which is to wait upon Lord GODE RICH to-day consists of the following gentlemen : MI. MURRAY. For Jamaica Mr. CoLviti,r. For British Guiana Mr. HYNUMAN. For the Leeward Islands Mr. IRVING. For Trinidad And, according to the Morning Post, the Com mittee of Planters and Merchants have consented to postpone for the present their efforts for the revival of the Committee of Inquiry in the House of Lords, which was to have been appointed this evening. The French Papers of Sunday state that the mis sion of Sir STRATFORD CANNING has entirely failed. There have been no arrivals from Portugal this morning in consequence of the boisterous weather, but from private letters received from Falmouth, dated Sunday, it appears a steamer was bearing to windward ;which was expected to be the Lord of the Isles from Oporto, with despatches. The wind wa blowing very bard, so that she could not make the coast, and would most likely steer for some other port. Important news may therefore be expected to-morrow. Great preparations are making by the agents of Don PEDRO in London, to forward a strong reinforcement of men and materiel for Oporto, which is expected to sail in few days. Hamburg Papers of the 22(1 inst. contain Dews from Constantinople of the 19th of January. The Ottoman Illoniteur gives an official account of the battle of Koniah, ascribing the defeat of the Turkish army to the impetuosity of the ViztEtt, and a heavy fog, which prevented his plans from having the de sired effect. The SULTAN granted an audience to M. BLAGUE, the Feench Editor of the Moniteur, and receind hint very graciously; but we have no room for particulars to-day. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. A letter from Antwerp states that a commercial vessel, car. rying the French and English flags, is to attempt the passage of the Scheldt, and if the Dutch sink her, all the Dutch vessels taken by France and England are to be immediately confiscated. Although it is not generally credited in the City that France and England have notified to the King of Holland that if he does not, by the 15th of March, settle his affairs with Belgium, France will again march an army into Belgium, yet this in formation is borne out both by the French Papers and our esta fette letters, received this morning, as well as other informa tion, which we noticed some days since in our City article, stating that the Northern Powers had sent to the King of Hol land a strong remonstrance, calling upon him to delay no longer in complying with the request of England and France, since which, we leans that Russia has greatly changed her politics, and strongly demands of Holland to settle the affair. Consols opened at the came price they left off yesterday, 8714 for the Account, since which they are 87 % %, with little doing. HALF-PAST ONE. The Journal des Debats, of Saturday, contains the articles contained in the Evening Papers last night, of the French army going again to enter Belgium, said to be received by express from the Hague. There must be some error in the date, as we have an official document, signed by Lord Palmerston and Prince Talleyrand, of the 14th, on which our City politicians lay great stress, to prove that the article of the 16th cannot be correct. Consols have been done at 873 li , and 87 3 a ; at present they may be quoted 87 3i N. To-morrow being settling day in Consols, they are busy making up their accounts. The same in the Foreign Market.

The matter of the " Bedford Charity" occupied a considerable portion of the morning, upon a discussion respecting the costs, which his Lordship did not filially dispose of. " Leith v. Irvine" was then resumed, and took up the remainder of the day. COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE. On Saturday and yesterday evening we visited this theatre, for the purpose of forming some judgment of the nature of the change which we presumed must, in the course of the three or four years he has been abroad, have taken place in the style of Mr. CHARLES KEAN'S acting. We were not mistaken in our anticipations, or, upon the whole, disappointed in the hopes we had formed. We recollect that we did not give him credit for much originality of conception—that we thought he occasionally departed from the meaning of his author from a wish to produce some new effect—that his action, though graceful upon the whole, was occasionally faulty per haps from the same cause—that his voice was deci. dedly bad, and his delivery halting, so that the words dropped from his lips in separate jerks, and produced upon the ear a sensation somewhat similar to that pro. duced upon the eye by the motion of the seconds' hand of a watch. Nevertheless, we thought that time, and study, and practice, would work in him changes which would entitle him to take a high, if not the highest rank in his profession. As we have already said, our expectations have n3t been disap pointed. An actor, zealous in his professior,, like Mr. C. KEAN, is always improving ; like MICHAEL ANGELO, he con. tinues to polish and perfect Ilia work long after to com. mon eyes it has received the finishing touches. We shall, therefore, advance what few strictures we have to mingle with our praise of Mr. KEAN, in the confidence that he will attribute them to the most friendly feelings, towards himself as well as the performance of a duty. First, then, we do not think that he has manifested since his return more symptoms of striking genius, such as astonished the me tropolis on the first appearance of his father. He has his father's features, much of his voice, and copies from him those sudden starts and changes of intonation, sometimes of great effect, but, for the most part, tolerated, rather than admired. In this, however, his improved judgment has been at work, and the fault is far less obvious than it was. Whilst upon the subject of his resemblance to his father, we may add that the Velutilike squeak which occasionally made itself heard before he left England, no longer shocks the ear. When we saw him in Sir Edward Mortimer we thought his action, though improved, much too violent, that it " far o'erstepped the modesty of nature," and smacked too much of the Coburg. The whole piece, how ever, is nothing better than a melodrama, and we were content to wait for his Hamlet. The result last night satisfied us that Mr. KEAN's improvement in his action is very great. It is generally easy and graceful, but there were parts where it jarred our feelings, perhaps, because unsuited in our opinion to the particular matter in hand. We will specify an instance of this kind of defect. After his confe. rence with the ghost, in the first act, Hamlet says : " Hold, hold my heart ; And you, my sinews, grow not instant old, But bear me stiffly up." Suiting, according to his notion we suppose, the action to the mind, Mr. C. KEAN started from the ground, stiffening his limbs in a most painful manner. Now we submit to his consi deration that "stiffly " here merely means" strongly," and that it would be natural for him to manifest excess of weakness. The words indicate exhaustion after the excitement and awe produced by the supernatural conference he had just held, and the utterance of the wish for strength would not produce it. The error into which Mr. KEAN has, we think, here fallen, is of the same nature with that into which all the French actors before 'Alma fell with respect to one of RaciNE's heroes, we think, one whom the hand of misfortune has heavily pressed, and who, relating his past history, says,— "I was then young, haughty, and proud." Suiting the action to the word, not to the sense, the French actors had been in the habit if standing erect and assuming a haughty attitude. Tema, with that exquisite feel ing of nature which distinguished him, overturned the ancient practice, and pronounced the line in a tone and attitude of shame, humiliation, and regret, like a man who feels that "all is vanity." We mention this as an instance for Mr. KEAN'S general guidance, which should make him cautious of too literally obeying the injunction of " suiting the action to the word." In his instructions to the players, by the way, Mr. KEAN was admirable, and showed a nice sense of what was due to himself as a prince even when imitating to condemn the forced rnd violent action of a bad player. We could mention one or two other parts of the tragedy in which Mr. KEAN ex celled, and in which he was greeted with loud applause; but truth compels us to say that these parts were few, and that upon the whole, though there was little to offend, there was also little that could warrant us in using superlatives. Never.. Unless, let Mr. KEAN continue to improve as he has done, let him persevere in study, and we doubt not that he will yet take a station not unworthy of his father's son. In the mean time we shall anxiously watch his progress, for he has already done enough to raise in us the highest hopes. With regard to the other characters, as we have nothing very favourable to say of the greater part of them, and as they do not exactly come within our present design, we forbear saying any thing. At this time of day it would be presumptuous in us to make any observations in the way of criticism upon Hamlet, but there is a criticism upon this play in existence, rich in novel thought, which we would recommend to the attention both of Mr. KEAN and the Manager. We allude to GOETHE'S criticism in one of the chapters of WILHELM MEISTER, beautifully translated a few years back by a lady, we think. It would fur nish them with what we consider the real clue to Hamlet's cha racter, and the Manager with some hints for the management of the Ghost scenes, which, if adopted, could not fail to heighten their effect tenfold.

Nothinz now r. mains to be arranged but the affair of the Alcyon, which was sunk at the entrance of the Douro. A con viction prevails at Madrid that an agreement between the c:intending parties will be speedily tff-eted, which will put an end to all pretexts for attacking the Government of Don Miguel. The mission of Sir Strathird Canning has oompletely failed. The Spanish Government has refused to second the views of the British Cabinet, and M.

It is said also that the regiments in Bohemia will he placed on the peace establishment. The Augsburg Gazette, of February .20, contains a letter from Constantin pie of the 26th of January, which is not so late by fair days as the news previously received at Vienna by express. This letter says—" The hopes of peace are vanished ; Ibrahim has left Koniah, and is advancing towards Brussa. He has broken off the negotiations, and rejected the counter-project sent him by the French Charge d'Aff.ires, in reply to his proposals for a treaty. He demands the arceptance of those proposals without modification, to which the Sultan seems not in clined to accede, since, having convinced himself of the good intentions of France and England, and knowing that General Muravieff is at Alexandria, he does not think the danger so urgent. We hope he may not be deceived ; the capital is well disposed, but the inhabitants of Asia Mi nor are for the Arabs. Ibrahim has contrived to revive the ancient spirit of the Janissaries, and gain the good will of the people, to whom he makes splendid promises, not forget ting to gain the great men by corruption. He affirms that he must obey his instructions, and insist on the conditions de manded by his father. The substance of these conditions is not known, but the Sultan has rejected them. We do not fear for the capital. Ibrahim will nut attack it, and, in case of need, a Russian fleet will come to its aid ; but he will get possession of all Asia, and the Porte, depending on the hope of assistance, has not yet done anything to check his progress. We cannot tell whether it is politic in Ibrahim to push matters to the utmost, and draw on his father a ruinous interference of the great European Powers. But it may be remembered that he caused, by his obstinacy, the disaster at Nava: in, at a time when he was not as he now is, puffed up by his victories."

We re member that Mr. YOUNG took a very active part in the late election, as Chairman, we believe, of Sir WILLIAM HORNE'S Committee. CLONMEL MEETING.—On Thursday, pur ,o,flat to a requisition which appeared in the Free Press, the spirited inhabitants of Chinni,' assembled at the Or• mond Hotel, to record their unequivocal detestation of the Bill introduced into the House of Lords by Earl Gam', an to petition the Legislature against the unconstitutional, unjustifiable, and atrocious enactment. We are pleased to state that we have scarcely ever attended a public meeting more highly distinguished for its peaoeabil ty, harmony, itetermination, and expression of firm and unflinching perseverance than that. JOHN LUTHER, Esq., was called to the Chair.—Tipperary Free Prue. One of the most interesting of the works of M. PAUL DE Koca, " Jean," has just been published, under the title of " The Modern Cymon." This writer, though almost unknown in England, has given to the world some novels, which will bear comparison even .Pith those of Sir WALTER. SCOTT. It is intended to translate the best of them. One cd peculiar interest is in 'he press, translated by Mr. CIIARLES CLYATT. The Cumberland Assizes commenced at Car lisle on Tuesday last. We have not heard of much busi ness of importance. One or two civil causes which were expected to come on, of considerable local interest, have been withdrawn, and the calendar is very light.— Kendal Herald. FACTORY BILL.—A petition on this subject is now in course of signature in this city ; we understand it has already received a great many respectable names, and we earnestly trust that this testimonial of sympathy for the sufferings of helpless children, and the misery of the working classes, will be numerously signed.--Aberdeen Herald. FACTORY BILL.—•On Thursday evening a public meeting was held in the Lyceum, to consider the propriety of petitioning the Legislature to restrict the bouts of labour in public factories—Mr. P. M'Gowalr in the chair. Various resolutions were adopted, and apetition agreed upon; and as the speakers very properly confined themselves to the regulation of infant labour, we trust that their humane efforts will be successful.—Scots Timcs. The Glasgow Free Press of Saturday says— " Let no one be deceived by the present cry about Irish outrage. Iceland was in a ten times more convulsed state a twelvemonth ago than she is at this moment, and yet there was no demand for "additional powers" then. No! It is only when the people are in a positio❑ to force Mi nisters upon courses of extensive practical Reform in our domestic affairs, that this story of Irish insurrection is vamped up, to divert public attention to a different object, and afford a pretext for perpetuating every oppression and abuse." We understand that the Directors of the National Bank of Scotland have arranged to establish a I ranch in Hawick, under the management of JAMES WaLsos, Esq., writer, there.—Edinburgh Evening Courant. MEMOIRS OF SIR WM. HOSTE.—" This Work gives a detailed account of the services of Sir W. HOSTE, from his first embarkation till his death, fur nished from his own letters, and the journals of a friend who sailed with him during the latter years of the war. The letters exhibit, in a very favourable point of view, his character, which appears to have been rich in all the best of those qualities which go to form the British sailor. Like COLLINGWOOD, he possessed those domestic qualities, and gentle affections which might seem almost incompatible with a life of adventure, turbulence, and separation. Brought up by NELSON, he kept his example in all that was good and great steadily in view. Were we called upon to name any character whom the youth now rising in the navy should take for their m o d e l, we should unhesitatingly say—Sir WILLIAM HOSTE. The volumes contain a very full account of the battle of L:ssa, and a detailed and circumstantial narrative of their hero's successful and laborious services at Cattaro and Ragusa the main pillars of Hosra's fame. They also include among their materials of interest, a variety of letters from Lord NELSON."— United Service Gazette ELOPEMENT.—There --- are -- efi;inces in love as well as in war, and v i c t or y i s no t a l ways to t h e b rave Cupid has, during the past week, been paying his v:ito t) some of the good folks of this town, (Yeovil) and having whispered in the ears of one gentle pair, that Hymen awaited them in London, they took the hint, and flew, on the wings of expectation and love, to the little godf who . was in attendance, anxiously waiting to make " one of the twain." If two of a trade cannot agree, It does not follow but that their children m'y; they can, as it is proved in this instance. A Chough, of the male kind, has flown away with a gentle Greyhound . of the opp os i te sex, not, however, as a bir d of p re y , but in the light of a "turtle dove," to nestle together fur the fut u r e i n inutial Live and good w ill.
