not known at Brussels at the date of M. de Mule naere's resignation. General G appointment Was made in a spirit of conciliation. The King of the Belgians wished to place at the head of his Cabinet a man not bound by any personal pledge to the Chambers. The rupture of the negotiations and the coercive Measures of France and England have changed tile aspect of affairs. There is no longer a peace or a war ministry at Brussels—there is a ministry there which expects the execution of the stipulations adopted and ratified by the five great Powers of Europe.

GENTLEMEN', THE most flattering success has attended the exertions of my friends to secure my return as one of your representatives in Parliament. lam deeply grateful to them and to you. I lament th at t h e state o f my h ealth cont i nues such that a would be imprudent for me to attempt a personal can- Vas,s;.--but having n o recommen d at i on except suc h as my Public cond uct an d pu bli c profess i ons may give me in your P in k; I doubt whether my private solicitations might ipt he mispl ace d an d unaccepta bl e. I s h ould, however, ""Ply regret that any elector could ascribe to me disre spect or indifference. Nothing could be more at variance Kith my estimate of the distinction which will attach to those who will be selected by you to assist in perfecting our national institutions, and, fur the first time, to legislate on Your behalf. I fear indeed that such an honour may far exceed my thserts, but it will stimulate me to furth er _ef forts in the cause of public liberty, and thus I may here after acquire a better title to your favour. It list particularly gratified me that gentlemen who are Promoting the interests of other candidates have expressed goodwill towards me. This kindness has, however, brought upon me, at different periods, the conflicting im putations that I had coalesced with each of them. Called forward by a generous demonstration on my be half, it would be peculiarly unbecoming if I should, by any coalition, acquire support not spontaneously afforded me, and attempt to transfer, in exchange for it, the votes of others which neither are, nor ought to be, at my disposi tion. I feel, moreover, that not being an elector myself, any arrangements on my part, which could affect the choice of my colleague, would be quite unwarrantable. I stand, therefore, singly befor e you—dependent altogether, upon your opinion of my fi ness for your service, and I doubt nut that the other candidates equally rest their hope on the free and unbiassed operation of your elective rights. In the course of a few days I shall revisit the metropolis and seek some opportunities of meeting you in the different districts of your borough. I shall then be anxious further to expound the principles which guide my public conduct. You are entitled to the most unreserved explanations be fore you confide your dearest interests to my charge. I can scarcely hope that all will concur in my views upon every p u bli c quest i on, but I am as incapable of misleading Y man to gain his present favour, as I should be here after of betraying the trust which you may repose in tne. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your most obedient and faithful Servant, CHARLES TENNYSON. Lyons Manor, Lincolnshire, Sept. 19, 1832. • 4') IV-1 ••• z LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 24, 1832. Political events thicken with the autumnal qui I P. Last wee k, peace was t h e or d er o f t h e and now war seems to be in the ascendant. The death of FERDINAND, King of Spain, Which vice announced on Saturday, is an event of very considerable importance, as bearing on the Portuguese question, and eventually on that of the constitutional cause in Spain itself; while the conduct of the King o f H OLLAND, an d t h e march of the French army for the frontiers of Belgium, are circumstances likel whole o f E uro y to embroil the pe in a general war. We have all along denounced the conduct of the King of HOLLAN D as bein g nothing l ess th an e nce of continued i nsu l t to the good sense an d pat i - England and France. The system of P _ r otocollin g , by w hi ch three Powers, Russia, Prussia, and Austria, contrived to hood- Wlere ink France.. .and E ng l an d, was got up 4ly for the p urposes of delay, that these three Powers might be in condition to be not only prepared for war, but be a bl e t o take advantage of any circumstances favourable their legitimate views, at the shortest notice. Alth this object in view, they found the ques tiO4 of Belgium very convenient for their hrpose, and the Dutch KING played his evasive cards, in furtherance of such views, to admiration. In fact, he assumed the high post of arbiter of peace or war in Europe ; and sorry are we to say, that the hesitating policy of France and Eng land should have so far encouraged the Dutch KING in his insulting obstinacy. But the fact cannot be denied, and now the march of events but too truly proves the folly of having been so long imposed on by a species of falsehood and intrigue, which every one but those more immediately interested in the transactions foresaw. However, as if to make same amends for formbr indecision, we now learn that the French Govern ment has decided on marching 50,000 troops to the frontiers of Belgium, there to await the invita tion of King LEOPOLD, should the Dutch in vade Belgium. Indeed, we think they will .not wait for that contingency,' but march at once, and take the initiative in the campaign, in order to punish the Dutch KING for his perfidy. At the same time, we learn that .a combined fleet, French and English, will blockade the Dutch:ports, and thus bring matters to isstie at once. But here the question arises, will Russia, Austria, and Prussia interfere—one or all? We think they will, and if we may credit the following from an Evening Contemporary, Prto - has already protested against the march of the French army : PROTEST OF PRUSSIA, I can announce to you as a fact, about which not the slighteit doubt must be entertained by you, after official and positive. inform'ation— " That M. de Werther, Ambassador of Prussia, has hada most animated conference with M. Sebastiani, Minister of Fo reign Affairs, relative to the subject of Belgium and Holland. The Ambassador of Prussia laid before M. Sebastiani, Ist, the note addressed by Count Mole, when Minister of Foreign Affairs, in 1830, to the Cabinet of Berlin, by which lie required a formal declaration on the part of Prussia never to interfere in the quarrel between Belgium and Holland. 2d, The reply of the Cabinet of Berlin to this note, in which it engaged to comply wills the desire of France on the express condition that the Cabinet of the Palais Royal would enter on its side into the same engagement. 3d, A convention which was to serve as the rule of conduct of the Conference of London, in which, after the desires expressed by the French Cabinet, it was agreed to, as the basis of the negociations, that the decisions of the Conference of London were not to be carried into execution until after the two parties had freely accepted them. " The Ambassador of Prussia further observed, that the French Government had always opposed itself to the employ ment of coercive measures against Belgium, when the Bel gians refused to accept the basis of separation guaranteed to King William by the 12th protocol. That it would then be most unjust and in contradiction with the principles established by itself, if the French government should now take measures to force the King of Holland to accept conditions that the whole Dutch nation has refused to agree to. That he, M. de Werther, advised the cabinet of the Tuileries to reflect a little more on the grave con sequences which must result from such a precipitated proceed ing, and above all to persuade itself that no menaces would in duce Holland to yield on a question which touches her dearest interests, and which attacks her known 'independence." _ _ Now, if the Prussi an Minister at Paris could be so well prepared for such an event, is it not clear that Austria, and more especially Russia, have made up their minds to the same effect ? But a few days, perhaps a few hours, will place this beyond question. It is part of the game, the hypocritical game, that these combined Powers have been playing for the last two years—ever since the downfall of CHARLES X. ; and now that they have got him safe, he will answer their purposes but too well to commence a legitimate crusade against " revolutionary France." We have given in another part of The Sun such full particulars respecting these matters, that we must defer any further observations for want of room. By to-morrow we may expect news from Spain direct by the Lisbon mail. Don CARLOS and the Apostolicals will precipitate matters in Spain. The news of the death of the King of SPAIN has excited a lively sensation among the Portu guese constitutionalists in London. Whatever may be the result as to the succession, it is believed the constitutional cause in Portugal must be benefited. Should the moderate party in Spain obtain the upper hand it can only be by an understanding with the constitutionalists, and, in that case, Don MIGUEL will be devoid of all support from Spain ; or should Don CARLOS seize the Crown, he will, in all pro bability, be urged by the high absolutists to declare openly in favour of Don MIGUEL, and so produce immediately that state of things in th e event of which the British Government is bound by treaty and honour to interfere by force on behalf of Don PEDRO. The French Go vernment, in the mean time, will not be idle. It appears, by authentic accounts received this morning from Paris, that an announcement has been made to Lord PALMERSTON of the readi ness of Louts PHILIPPE to send any force that may be deemed advisable into Spain or Portugal, if circumstances should induce the British Cabinet to take an active part, and call upon France to assist it ; and we are assured that the order prohibiting Spaniards from join ing the ranks of Don PEDno will be re laxed. A morning Contemporary, in a let ter from Paris, states that Marshal SOULT some weeks ago made an arrangement with the Ex-Empress of BRAZIL, by which he under took to send a large army to the assistance of her husband, but that the expedition was pre vented by the refus a l o f th e E MPRESS to fulf i l certain conditions. It is hardly necessary perhaps to say that this is mere Parisian gossip. In the first place the EMPRESS has no power from Don PEDRO to enter into an engagement with the French Government ; and at the time in ques tion, the Marquis of PALMELLA, who had full powers from the Regency, was in England, and in total ignorance, as we know, of any such scheme on the part of the French Cabinet. In the second place it is notorious that General SEBASTIANI has formally pledged himself not to take any step in favour of Don PEDRO with out the knowledge and approbation of the British Cabinet. It is hardly necessary, perhaps, to say, that Lord PALMERSTON will be indebted for the first information of this arrangement between the EX-EMPRESS and Marshal SOULT to the columns of our Contemporary. It is expected that the Members of the Con ference will meet again to-day, if M. deMA TUSEWITZ, the R uss i an E n voy Extraordinary, has returned to town. It is not probable, how ever, that any decision will be come to for two or three days, unless the King of HOLLAND should commence hostiliti es . The Russian Plenipoten tiary will, it is believed, apply for time to enable him to obtain instructions from St. Petersburgh ; but this will, of course, be strongly opposed 1) M. VAN DE WEYER, on the part of the King o Belgium. The regular despatches have arrived from Brussels at the Foreign-office, with a packet fdr'M. VAN DE WEYER, the Belgian Minister; but there is no information in them of import ance-. 'An extraordinary courier would have been sent if any thing of particular interest had occurred. The Portuguese residents here are much dis appointed at the non-arrival of the packet from Oporto, and it is feared that some accident has octurred. We should rather calculate that the packet had been detained for a day at Oporto. .No account of the change in the French Ministry, mentioned in the private Correspond ence of a Morning Paper on Saturday, has been received either at the French Embassy or at the Foreign-office. The statement, therefore, may be considered as unfounded, or premature. M. de TALLEYRAND has written to say,that luis return to London may be expected before ,he 15th of October. We stated a few day: ago, that the Returns the Revenue for the quarter were going on very favourably. We are happy to announce that the, last few days have been equally favour able, except as to the Post-office, in which there wiff be deficiency for the quarter as compared with the corresponding quarter of last year. ,Frankfort Papers contain some news from Constanti►aople of an unfavourable character to the PORTE. The SULTAN, however, undis mayed by reverses, was endeavouring to check the victorious career of the Pacha of EGYPT, and had ordered the Grand Vizier to take the command of his army. Various other changes were about to take place ; but we apprehend that the Egyptian has proceeded too far already to be. checked effectually by the disorganized levies of his late master. Accounts from Trieste state, on the authority of letters, dated Syra, 18th of August, that an engagement had taken place off Alexandretta, between the Turkish and Egyptian fleets, in which the Turkish is said to have been wholly destroyed. This is su&pected to be a fiction, for accounts were received of the safe arrival of the Turkish fleet at Rhodes, after having captured an Egyptian corvette and a brig. The news from Vienna of the 11 th instant is, as usual, of an ambiguous character—one party preaching peace, and the other expecting war. A numerous promotion was about taking place in the army. Lord' JOHN RUSSELL is continuing his can vassing tour of Devonshire, and on Wednes day reached Devonport. His Lordship ad dressed the inhabitants at a meeting held at the Royal Hotel, and in the course of his ad dress was enthusiastically cheered. There was one sentiment, however, of his Lordship's which, if correctly reported, we are glad to see received no cheers at all. His Lordship is made to say, ",With respect to the Church, we shall have to remove the excrescences which tend, not to sup port, but to destroy the institution ; and I am glad' to‘see by the newspapers of to-day, that a large body of the clergy have decided on point. ing out the abuses of the Church, and praying their removal. This is evincing a wise spirit, and I wish, for the sake of the proprietors of bo roughs, that instead of so pertinaciously sup porting the existence of abuses in opposition to the spirit of the age, that they had at once, with like spirit, offered a plan for their improve ment." A pretty sort of a reform we should have got had his Lordship's wish been realised. Can he have forgotten that, on the Ist of March, the House of Commons was rent with shouts of laughter from the boroughmongers, as he an nounced each new particular of his plan ? Can he have forgotten the miserable abortions of plans, nick-named reforms, which they sketched out as being the kind of things they were willin g t o agree to ? Can he have forgotten the no-dis franchisement and little-as-possible enfran chisement principles they throughout advocat e d ? The idea of obtaining a real,eificient and beneficial reform of the Church from the Church itself, would be as futile as to imagine that the cor ruptionists would voluntarily have given up schedules A. and B. Besides, there are two parties to the contract. The clergy have not only to settle what they shall receive, but what the country will give, and it would be rather droll to do that without the country havinc , some,voice in the matter. Pretty considerably like reckoning without your host, I guess," as our acute trans-Atlantic offspring would say. It is reported, that, in the event of a continued improvement in the other branches of the public revenue, it will be proposed to Parliament to reduce the present high rate of postage on let ters to what it was previously to the different augmentations caused by the war system. Inde pendently of other considerations, nothing, we think, can be more clear, than that a tax which was increased in aid of the means of carrying on the war, ought to be reduced after so many years of peace ; but we may also dispute the propriety of the Government attempting to derive profit from the monopoly of a service which, if in pri vate hands, could be performed with equal cele rity and securityond at a charge little exceeding half of what is now demanded by the Post-office. In France, where the expense to the Govern ment is quite as great, if not greater, than in this country, the postage upon a letter for a distance of 150 miles is little more than half of what is arged here for only 50 miles ; and as regards he Metropolitan delivery, it is notorious that an individual or a company could, on an im proved system, undertake to deliver letters at one penny each, instead of two-pence, and derive a handsome profit. It is not, perhaps, desirable that the business of the Post-office should be taken out of the hands of Government, as, with the exception of the high rate of charge, there is little to be complained of which would not equally apply to individuals and companies ; bait it certainly is a very objectionable mode of taxation in its pre sent shape, and totally at variance with the prin ciple of facilitating the operations of commerce, and the other communications of civilized so ciety. Taxes, we know, must be raised, and of all the tax-payers on earth, the people of this country are the most willing; but is it worth while to raise any portion of them by means of one of those monopolies so common in other countries, and, generally speaking, so repugnant to the feelings of Englishmen, when the same amount might be easily di str ib ute d over o th er branches of the revenue ? L e t us h o p e , how ever, that a diminished exp en dit ure an d increas ing returns will enable the Government to reduce the rate of postage, without adding' to other burdens, and that no loss will be sustained by the adoption o a charge better, apportioned to the amount and character of the service.

The death of Lady ELEANOR CAMPBELL, which took place a few days since at Woodhall, in Argyll. shire, has plunged many noble families into mourning. Her Ladyship was the eldest daughter of the Earl and Countess of WEMYSS mid MARCH, and married, in 1820, WALTER FREDERICK CAMPBELL, Esq., M.P. for the county of Argyll, a son of Lady CHARLOTTE Bum-, by her first husband, Colonel CAMPBELL, of Stansfield. Lady LOUISA CHARTER'S, a younger sister of the lamented Lady, formed a matrimonial connection only three or four weeks back with Mr. FORBES. Lady ELEANOR was in the flower of her (lays, and has left one son by her mar. riage with Mr. CAMPBELL. Her Ladyship rarely mingled with the fashionable world, generally residing with her family in the north. We are exceedingly sorry to state that several cases of cholera have occurred in this town during the week, nearly all of which have proved fatal.

SCIENC E IN EGYPT.—The Paella of EGYPT has made great exertions to introduce the most important improvements in science generally, and in medicine in par ticular, into his dominions. For this purpose he some years ago induced M. CLOT, a French surgeon, to settle in Egypt, and patronized the establishment of a Medical School at Abouzabel, to the proceedings of which we have repeatedly alluded. The Pacha has recently created his French protége a Bey, so that he now figures under the somewhat ludicrous appellation of Clot Bey ; and his patron is about to despatch him with twelve young Egyp tians to Paris, where they are to be educated in the most complete manner, and on their return to be appointed Professors of the different branches of knowledge they have acquired. Who knows but it may be destined that science shall again, as in times of old, find a resting-place in E gypt.—Medical Gazette. A bird was caught, a short time ago, in a sin gular manner, upon a beach tree, at Wester Plean. It was found suspended by the foot, from the underside of a leaf.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK The only arrival of importance this morning is the estafette from Paris, which confirms the death of the King of Spain, and a determination on the part of the King of France, with the English Government, to assist King Leopold, the former with an army of 50,000 men, and the latter to blockade the Scheldek' Still with all these demonstrations no actual war may .take place between Belgium and Holland, as Prussia and Austria, it is said, will act in accordance with England and France ; and the season is too far advanced for Russia to march an army to the frontiers of Holland. In respect to the death of the King of Spain, his daughter a child scarcely three years old, it is supposed will be called to the throne under the regency of Don Carlos, who is still more priost-riden than the deceased King. This will no doubt cause a strong opposition on the part of the Con stitutionalists in Spain, and perhaps ere long may lead to a civil war in that country. The Portuguese and Lisbon merchants are much sur prised at the packet not having arrived from Lisbon, but if we can put faith in the French accounts this morning, news had been received from Oporto of the 11th September, stating that on the morning of the 6th, Don Pedro's troops had made a sortie on the side of Vellaneva, and forced the Miguelites from their positions, which they abandoned without fighting, after which Don Pedro's troops returned to Oporto. It is also stated that Don ➢liguel's fleet was still in the Tagus on the 7th Sept. Some contbsion has taken place amongst our City specula tors on the information of the death of the King of Spain, and the marching of a French army towards Belgium, which has caused the French Funds to recede a little. Consols, which left oft' on Saturday at 84 for the Account, opened at 83 %, alternately buyers and sellers; at present they are 83 %. with little doing. We have no official news from Portugal. In the Foreign Market Spanish Stock has improved per Cent; Portuguese Scrip 31 discount. Not a single ship letter has been received this morning. LIALF-PAST ONE. It is stated that private accounts have beeo received from Oporto of the 13th inst., and that an armistice has taken place between the two parties; but we could not trace this report to any authentic shape. All at present continues uncertain, and the best informed do not know if hostilities will take place between the Belgians and the Dutch. Consols have been during the morning 83%, alternately buyers and sellers. In the Foreign Market little doing. Spanish Stock has been the only speculation this morning, at an improved price.

SIR WALTER SCOTT.—A letter from Ab botsford describes Sir WALTER as generally in a state of stupor, from w hi c h h e i s on l y aroused to suffer severe pai n. His strength of body and constitution, says the letter, is his greatest enemy. A courier arrived last night by the Hamburg s A te m ain-v s e ado sserl: Baron B with despatches o i uws from Berlin for the Prussian Ambassador, FRANKFORT, SEPT. 19. There are Germans who .oe ~Boost maddened at the . .wts of the Diet, yet they know not what course to adopt. The proceelings of the aristocracy may be learned front the fact, that the " noble families" in Baden, whose privi leges of p tying no taxes, &c., were abolished by the Chambers of that duchy last year, have actually petitionfA the Diet to have them restored. It is presumed that the Diet, which is going back to old times, will reinstate them u all their feudal rights. In Nasau, the levying of the taxes voted by the irrezu -I,r Chambers, last spring, has begun. The inhabitants rf Wisbuden, with the exception of about 60 emp/ot i e..-, wive refused to pay, as they have not been 1t..g.:11y granted. E.xecutions will, it is expected, be levied against them, and , ppression or resistance must follt:w. The elections in Hesse Darmstadt and Hesse-Cassel !save ensured the return of some of the most liberal seen. At the University of Marburg, the election of M. Jordan was hailed by the students and by the inhabitants of the town as a popular triumph, and celebrated as such with th e utmost enthusiasm. The interference of the Diet with their constitution is likely to drive the Hessians, who are the must liberal and the most independent, as well as the ttravest people in Germany, into revolution, and Prussa vjll then occupy the country. In Frankfort three young men, name', Funck, Sauer wein, and Freyeisrn, who published a political periodical *lnk at Hanau, in Hesse Cassel, have been setrenc.Al by the mike to four weeks' imprisonment, for some observations which the censor has allowed. They have appealed again:t .the sentence as most unjust, as the censor is guilty, not the) . THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCFIANGE. In the preceding week there was a good supply of Wheat, chiefly new, and a fair return of Flour; of other articles the quantities were moderate. Throughout the week the trade was heavy for all descriptions of Corn. This morning there was a large supply of Wheat and Barley fresh up from the home coun ties, but not much other Grain. The weather continues re markably fine, and the trade for Wheat has been extremely dull to.day, and most qualities are again 2s. per quarter cheaper, with most of the tender samples left unsold. The maltsters pur chased the finest parcels of Barley at last week's prices, but many samples being stained, such met a very dull trade, at per quarter reduction in value. Old Beans remain as last quoted. New Harrow Beans dry, 355. 365. Ticks, 335. 345. Barley Pease are 2s. per quarter dearer, and all sold Grey Pease are also •_s. per quarter higher. There is a moderate trade for Oats, and the supply not being large, the prices of this (lay se'nnight are fully supported. There is a demand for fresh Flour at last week's prices. Mustard and Rape Seed remain at the terms of last Monday, with slow sale. PRICES ON BO .Vheat, Red (old) sos. 545. ---White (old) s2s. 625. Red 1.832) 465. 525. Fine s4s. 565.

There is now no longer doubt. Austria and Prussia lave united together for the purpose of carrying their plans into execution of abolishing the constitutional ex istence in all Germany, of annihilating lib. rty of writing end of speaking, and of destroying every trace of liberty. For this purpo►e their Ambassadors at the German Courts have been instructed to work upon the minds of the Princes and Ministers. A secs et police has been by them orga nised, and the servant-like Diet is to sanction resolutions as they shall have been dictated from Vienna and Berlin. To terrorism, and to aristocratism, must the German Soy, reigns, Princes as well as Kings with crowns, crouch and obey, in the same manner as their people. Under the pretence, that so long as other European Powers do out disarm, the German Diet, consulting its security, is obliged to keep a large army on foot, the existing army is to be increased considerably. As peace ex ists al round Germany, it is evident to demonstration that those preparations are solely directed apitist the people of Germany. And can those people, in order to ..arly the yoke of Austria and Prussia, give their sons as •bldters, and their money as a means for their own en slavement ? By the basis law, the army of the Diet is to consist of 302,000 men, ready even in time of peace. In consequence of the military conferences at Berlin the Du t is to issue a resolution, by which in all the States of the Confederation a reserve is to be established ; frotr► which the actual army of the Diet will be increased at least 100,000 men. The costs are to be supported by the wealth, the labour, and the freedom of the different p.ople. And for what advantage ? To gratify the hate, the thirst of rule, and persecuting spirit of some Potentat,s and their adherents ; and that the plans of subjecting and of clouding other States, which have been forged in Vienna and Berlin, may be carried into effect. That the burdens of debt and taxes will thereby be increased, is not taken into consideration. For both, the people must be the vic tim—as being znatiere taillabe, corveable, et malleable. The Di.,t has already thundered out curses of excom munication against all liberal journals and publications, and the Governments have, with joy, heard the curses. hi the universities, all professors are to be removed front their chairs, who, by liberal expressions, either in the Assem blies of the States, or in their writings, have in any man ner displeased the Contite de salut public at Vienna or Ber lin. The Diet orders, and no Government dares to refuse obedience to its commands. The commencement is about to take place by the servile Government of Baden, which is to displace half-a-dozen of professors from the University of Freiburg. At Vienna and Berlin it is resolved that all the liberal constitutions of the several States of the Confederation shall, through the Diet, be subjected to a severe revision and mutilation. They are to begin with the constitution of Hesse-Cassel of 1831. The Diet has already appointed for the purpose a special commission. Where all this op pression and overclouding of the public mind will end is easily fortseen. Perdere quos volt Jupiter, cos obcozeat, dementat. Yesterday afternoon summonses were issued by Lord PALMERSTON, for holding a conference. thii day, at the Foreign Office. They were forwarded to the Mem bers of the Conference who were from town. Despatches were received in town last night from Vienna. At the time of the departure of the courier, Prince Pozzr DI 130E00 had arrived, thus anticipating the arrival of Lord DuenAst in the Austaian as well as the Prussian capital. Considerable importance is attached to his Excellency's mission ; he had been received at both places with distinguished favour, and invested with the insignia of some of the principal orders. We understand the report in the French pipers that the Prince would resume his functions as Ambassador to the French Court, is incorrect. He will probably visit Paris, but is expectA vary shortly in London, and, it is asserted, afterwards re turn to the Ru sian capital. The paragraphs which has appeared in various journals, stating, " The lady of the late BENJAMIN WEST, Esq., President of the Royal Academy, died on Wednes day night at her house in Belgrave-street, Belgr:ave•square, of the prevailing epidemic, after a few hours' atta , dc," must be founded in mistake. Mrs. WEST departed this life about fifteen years ago. Her remains were deposited in a vault beneath the new church at the commencement of the Wellington-road, St. John's Wood. Th e y were attended to the grave by her affectionate husband and her • wo SODS. ,11)e Lady of Si r R OBERT A DAIR , B r i t i s h Minister at Brussels, died on Wednesday last of the cho lera at Paris. This lady was of Fr.n.th extraction, and had been many years servra'ed from her husband. On Tuesday Mr. POULETT THOMSON, Vice- President of the Board of Trade, visited Paidev, accom panied by Provost DALC !ASH and Dr. CLELaxn, of this city. Mr. THOMSON called at several warehouses and weavers' shops, in company with these gentlemen, and made most minute inquiries into the state of trade, the na ture of the different branches of manufacture, and the wages of all classes of the workpeople.— Glasgow Chronicle. The conference which was held at the Foreign office on Friday continued from two o'clock to half-past seven o'clock in the evening. More than usual import ance was attached to the result of the deliberation, as nearly the whole of the Foreign Ainbasadoia sent off de- spatches at midnight to their respective Governments, which were not intrusted to ordinary couriers, but confided to the care of gentlemen connected with the Embassies. From the Russian Embassy, the Boon KRUDENEK was sent off to Paris, and also Nlonsieur FlEaticHAvtoT, tilt. Russian Consul General at Hamburg, with despatches for St. Petersburg. Baron WESSENBURG also forwarded despatches to Vienna, and Baron BuLow to Berlin. The Conference did not meet on Szt:tirday, but another meeting on the subject of the last note from the King of HOLLAND is to take place this day or to morrow. It is not expected, however, that any decision will be come to until after two or three meetings. The HOLLAND a nN n f , D, , R ewn u ae s se si ,a a oi n iF a s n t, d,Austri aninsolentti; A t btuhte m n ba it oistsseadr understood e s trh declared teooK(ii,tgh that at t even if they are sincere, which is to he doubted, they have no power from their respective Courts to concur in any coercive measures against Holland. At the same time that the last note of the Dutch Government was sent to Lord PAnizasToN, copies of it were forwarded to the Dutch Ministers at Berlin, Vienna, and St. Peterstnirgh; and there is every reason to believe that although the represen tatives of Austria, Prussia, and Russii, in the Conference, profess to be very indignant at the language of the Dutch note, it will not meet with an unfavourable reception from the Allied Sovereigns. We are assured, from authority, that although King LEOPOLD did signify to the Conference his willingness to treat on the basis recommended by that body, there was a qualification as to time. He declared that if the King of HOLLAND should refu.e to comply with the suggestions of the Conference within a limited period, he would withdraw his concurrence in them, and demand the fulfilment of the treaty of the 15th of November. The delay specified has nearly expired ; and it will be the duty of M. VAN DE WEYER to call on the Conference to en force the treaty of the 15th of November. It is not pro.. bable, however, that this application will be complied with. The utmost that the Conference, or rather France and England, will do, will be to force the King of Um— LAND to agree to the treaty as it has been modified by the Conference. In order fasourorstoiei t nio o ilitb i ao n tei d iaes U ge e Krt i n: the gtv e i King eit g ,lrmt o i; f :Gwl Conference will accept the modifications, he was assured that it the King of l f lUM compliance e i l i;m: o p p L u e l d l a l N e e nn d c p . te s oo h f l n o ttuhtiwhed the part will fulfil the promise which it made in order to induce herald.
