FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Alessager des Chambres, Oct. 21.) PARIS, 26--The Ministry, after having taken the resolution immediately to enter Belgium, has revoked this decision, or rather modified it, as we will explain. The Bel gian troops will begin the attack on the citadel of Antwerp between this time and the 3d of November ; and if, as King Leopold firmly expects, his army should be victori ous, the French will have no occasion to go to his assist ance. But if the Belgians do not succeed, then our army will execute its movement, and the Cabinet of the doctrinals would run the risk of a general war. This would he a very singular situation for Belgium and for France. If the Dutch troops are victorious at Antwerp, they will march against Brussels, which is only ten leagues distant, and in a foot hours they will be before that city, the seat of Leopold's Government. The French army would then have to combat a victo rious army, which would soon he in possession of all the principal cities of Belgium ; and the Dutch, supported by ti,e Prussims, would necessarily give infinite trouble to our army; whereas, if, having the intention to mike war, the Government had acted according to its resolution of yes terday, to enter Belgium immediately, then the cities of Antwerp, Brussels, and all the other important places in the country being in our hands, we should have made war with some chances of success. PARIS, OCT. 25.—The Funds, after having experi enced a very considerable decline yesterday, have risen to day lt. 50c. This ri-e, unexpected even by !hose who frequent Tortoni's, because they sold bel,re the opening of 'Change at 66f. 20e., is attributed to various caus ,, s; but what made the greatest impression on the public was the news brought by persons who are sometimes well in formed from the English Legation, that to-morrow there would appear in the Moniteur a Treaty of Alliance, de fensive and offer.sive, between France and Great Britain. Nobody can desire more than we do that this news may prove true, but it needs confirmation. (From the National of Friday.) PARIS, OCT. 25..—The provisional measures which bad been taken to reinforce the line of our frontiers, towards Spain being no longer necessary, the troops of all descriptions which had been sent thither have just re ceived orders to return immediately to their respective garrisons. A letter from Bayonne informs us that the King of Spain made his solemn entry into Madrid on the 18th of this month, amidst the acclamations of the whole popu lation. ---.-- (From the National of Friday.) PARIS, OCT. 25.—The provisional measures which had been taken to reinforce the line of our frontiers to wards Spain being no longer necessary, the troops of all descriptions which had been sent thither have just received orders to return immediately to their respective garrisons. A letter from Bayonne informs us that the King of Spain made his solemn entry into Madrid on the 113th of this month, amidst the acclamations of the whole populace. (From the Constitutionnel.) PARIS, OCT. 26.—Persons well iuformed affirm, in the most positive manner, that a courier, who arrived last night at Paris from London, brought the definitive reso lution of the English Cabinet, with the sign manual of the King of England. According to this resolution, the English fleet was to join ours to proceed off the coast of Holland, and the French army was to enter immediately into Belgium, and march towards Antwerp to begin the siege, avoiding to pass by the town, in order to take from Gereral Chasse all pretext for bombarding the town. It is added, that all the Powers have given their consent to these coercive measures. This important news was circu lated with complete confidence. The Evening Ministerial Paper, however, did not say a word on the subject, end we learn that Marshal Gerard is still at Paris, and the Duke of Orleans at Neuiliy. The Gazette de Madrid, as well as letters received yes terday, have acquainted us with all the superior appoint ments made by the Queen in the provinces and in the capital. It is a complete purification of all the principal departments of the State—a systematic sweeping out of the party from which the power is taken. With few ex ceptions, all the new functionaries are men who figured tinder the Constitutional Government, belonging, indeed, to the Anilleros, a species of Doctrinnaires of the other side of the Pyrennees, whom the Queen has chosen for her assistants. But the political timidity and the coldness of principle which distinguish them must necessarily be corrected by their situation. The Government having openly broken with the Apostolicals is exposed to their resentment, and obliged to repress their attacks—obliged to d.4snd ittelf—mnst oppose energetic opinions to rooted prejudices. Thus the sort of " juste-milieu" which is called to govern Spain will have no moral power, except in showing itself faithful to constitutional tradition., and in awakening sympathy for the opinions of which it is the representative and the symbol. Under these sircum stances, it may happen that the Regent will not be able to uphold the movement of liberal ideas, and the authors of the Reform may see themselves carried away by public opinion. (From Galignani's Messenger of Saturday.) On Thur-day afternoon the King transacted business with the Minister for Foreign Affairs, and the Minister of Justice. The Count de Flahaut bad an audience of his Majesty. The Count de Montalivet, General Men'fliers. M. Diveau, and M. Jacques Lefevre, had the honour of dining with the King and Royal Family. Yesterday his Majesty arrived at the Tuileries at 12 o'clock, and after granting an audience to General Sebastiani, held a Council of Ministers, at the breaking up of which be returned to Netiilly. The King and Royal Family will leave Neuilly on Mon da , and take up their winter residence at the Tuileries. The Duke Decazes, the Count d'Appony, and M. Le Hon, had yesterday long conferences with his Excellency Lord Granville, at the British Embassy. The Lille Journal, the Nord, of Thursday, says—" The Dutch General Noll, who has the command of the troops, posted at the point of the island of Cadsand, having ap plied for reinforcements, received for answer that he had the waters in control'', And might make use of them ; upon which orders for the inundation were immediately issued and executed." There have been struck lately at Munich a quantity of tokens of the value of a crown. On one aide is a repre sentation of the tutelar Genius of Greece presenting the Crown to Prince Otho, with the legend " Otho Prince of Bavaria, first King of Greece, 1832." On the reverse is the effigy of the King of Bavaria, surrounded by the words " Louis I. King of Bavaria." The Nuremberg Correspondent states that Madame Letitia Bonaparte Fs at Rome. Joseph, the Ex-King of Spain, is at London ; bis wife, and Madame Charlotte, her d tughter, are at Florence. Charles, the son of Lucien, married to a daughter of Joseph, is at Reccia ; Lucien is at Sinigaglia; his son in Columbia; Louis, the Ex-King of Hollsn , t, at Florence; Madame Hortensia, his wife, in Switzerland ; Jerome, the Ex-King of Westphalia, is at Leghoin ; Achille Murat, son of the Ex-King of Naples, at London ; his younger brother at New York ; and Matleole Caroline, the Ex-Queen of Naples, at Florence. _ _ A prosecution has been instituted against 31. Charles Maurice, author of a publication entitled Lettres d Louis Philippe, roi des Francais, as containing outrages and insults towards the King and members of the Royal Family. The Criminal Tribunal of Saint Gall is engaged in preparing a prosecution against a man and a woman who kept a house for the reception of pregnant ladies who wished to be delivered privately, and to have tl eir children secretly sent to the foundling hospital at Milan. It is expected that these proccedinas will involve a great many persons of all ranks and conditions. This infamous esta blishment, it appears, had branches in the Canton of Zurich. The number of children thus disposed of is stated to amount to 90. A gardener, named Piquenil, died a few days ago at Toulouse, at the great ace of 101 yrzro, A great number of persons, holding prohibited games, have been arrested upon the Boulevards within a few days. The 4th, 7th, Bth, 9th, 11th, and 12th L ginos of the National Guards of Paris will have a field-day to-morrow in the Champ-de-Mars at 11 o'clock, and will practise platoon firing. Letters from Switzerland mention that preparations are making at Basle, for a sudden attack upon the parts of the Canton that have-been separated by the Diet. It is thought, however, that the publicity given to this project will prevent its success. The Central Government is said to have already taken measures to prevent its being car ried into execution. The Berlin State Gazette, of the 21st inst. contsina a Royal Patent, by which the decisions of the Germanic Diet of July 5 are promulgated as laws for those pro. vinces of the Prussian monarchy that form part of the Germanic Confederation. Prussian 4 per Cents. are quoted 93 2-3; ditto 5 per Cents. (1822), English Loan, 103. • The official journal of Nassau of the 20th inst., pub lishes the ratification of the Decrees of the Diet against the liberal journals of Baden, Wirtemberg, and Hilburg bausen. This document is signed by the Minister, Baron de Marschall, who at the same time declares that the de crees of the Diet are to be observed as laws by the inhabi tants of Nassau. The Deputies of the States who pro tested against the legality of the late vote of the taxes have been arrested, and confined in the castle of Maubourg. The .Nuremberg Correspondent of the 22d inst. states that the Saxon Government has joined that of Hanover in representing to the Frankfort Diet the urgent necessity of facilitating . r rcial intercourse in the interior of aued that BavaNtli also concur iv the same measure ; atii•that as Ainstri Nikewise disposed in favour of a free trade, hopes are entertained that so de sirable an object will soon be accomplished. The same paper contains the following of the 15th, from Buds :—" The Go vernment has just sent circulars to all the provincial autho rities, directing that the States of each Palatine shall be con voked in the beginning of November, for the purpose of electing deputies for the ensuing Diet of Hungarg. It is thought the Diet will open at Preshurg in December. Ac cording to all probability the Session will be of short duration, and subjects of importance alone will be brought before the Assembly. A report is current here that an application will be made by the King for new troops and subsidies, but, under the present pacific aspect of affairs, this report is entitled to little credit. It is asserted, on the other hand, that several reforms are to be proposed by liberal deputies, who will be supported in their measures by the general opinion of the country. The Austrian Captain, who, a short time ago, fired a pistol at the King of Hungary, as he was walking at Baden, has been tried and condemned to twenty years' confinement in the fortress of Monkaez." The Correspondent also relates the fol lowing The Duke of Bordeaux daily devotes six hours to study. A nobleman, who -vas present at one of his lessons, in which the young Prince displayed great capacity for learning, told him that he studied as if he intended to become a professor. The Duke replied; Why not? that is the surest way to the throne of France ; for was not Louis Philip a Professor before he became King of the French ?" The Augsburgh Gazette of the 23d instant states that the Greek Deputies continue to be treated with great dis tinction at Munich. At a grand ball given at the Mu seum, Admiral Miaulis danced a Polonaise with the Queen of Bavaria, whilst General Bozzaris had the Prin cess Matilda for his partner. The same paper quotes Metalliques. 5 per Cents., at Vienna, on the 18th, 87 9-16. According to letters from St. Petersburgh, the return of the Emperor to his capital was hastened by important despatches from the Hague and Toplitz, the present resi dence of the King of Prussia. The Moniteur contains a Royal Ordonnance, founded upon a report of the Minister of Public Instrucrion, whereby it is decreed that the class of Moral and Poli tical Sciences, which formerly existed at the Institute, shall he re-established under the title of Academy of Moral and Political Sciences. The number of the mem bers is fixed at thirty. It is to be divided into five sections, namely, Philosophy, Morality. Legislation, with Public Law and Jurisprudence, Political and Statisti cal Economy, and Genetal and Philosophical History. The following personages are to be, in the first instance, Members of the Academy, having formed a part of it at the time of its suppression, namely, Baron Dacier M. Daunnou, Count Garat-Lacuee, Count de Cessac, Count Merlin, Marquis de Pastoret, Count Reinhardt, Count Roederer, Count Syeyes, Prince de Talleyrand, Count Destutt Tracy, and Baron de Gerando. These members are to elect immediately four new members from the body of the Institute, and these sixteen are, at a period to be hereafter fixed, to elect seven more, making twenty-three, who are subsequently to complete the num ber of thirty by choosing seven more. The Members are to elect a perpetual Secretary. They are to prepare and submit to the Minister of Public Instruction a division of the Members into the five Sections. They are to revise i the former regulations of the Academy, and propose to the Minister of Public Instruction new regulations. The ex penses of the Academy are to be fixed by a law to be pro posed to the Chambers in the course of the next Session.

BRUSSELS, OCT. 24.—We believe that the multiplicity and importance of the public affairs has prevented the Council of Ministers from thinking of filling up the post of Minister of Finance, which is vacant, M. Brabant having positively refused. We learn that the Government has ordered the Autho rities at Arlon immediately to send M. de Piscatore to Naktur, where he will be treated in the same manner as M. Thorn, at Luxemburg. Like M. Thorn, he will be at liberty to choose a small house for his prison, which he will have at his own expense, and where he will be guarded by gerdarmes. He will not be brought before the Tribunals as the partisans of Tornaco were, and sub sequently Messrs. Desprez and Saur ; in a word, he will be considered and treated as a hostage, and the Government will set him at liberty at the same time that M. Thorn shall be released. All the documents relative to his affairs have ken sent to London, Paris, Frankfort, Berlin, and Vienna. The _Lynx says- 6 ' We learn that the Dutch have caused to he arrested at Luxemburg AI. Zang, one of the inhabitants of Elleibruck, who assisted in the arrest of the individuals of the band of Tornaco on the 28th December, 1831. at the bridge of that town. They pretend that they have a right to do this, because the Tribune of Na inur having declared those persons innocent, the authors and accomplices of their arrest are liable to ar) action for damaueß." Yesterday afternoon a Dutch steamer came u,) the river as far as the Comet—at six o'clock it returned. It was observed that a boat had two superior officers on board, who were landed at the Citadel. The .Izrnal des Flandres says--" We were mistaken in stating that the Rev. Mr. Spencer was in this city_ the Prelate now here is the Rev. Mr. Mq-lale, an Irish Bishop. " Last Saturday General Niellon sent a superior officer with a flag of truce to L'Ecluse, to require that the waters should be let off. 'Fhe request was muted by the Military Authorities at L'Ecluse, and the operation of letting off the water was begun before the officer left." BRUSSELS, OCT. 25.—The troops of the 24 Division, assembled between Diest and Montargu, will be reviewed to-day by the King, who will leave Brussels, with the Queen, to go to the ground. Their Majesties will return to Louvain, wbe a they will pass the night. On Friday morning the King will review the 2d Regiment of the Line and the Cuirassiers. Their Majesties will return to Brits. Be l.. on Friday evening. Marshal Morti,r (the Duke of Treviso), the Ambassa dor of France at St. Petersburizh, arrived yesterday at Brussels, with his Secretary the Prince of Eukinuhl, on his way to Paris. General Sir Thomas Hislop has arrived from Spa. _ _ . _ M. A. Piscatore arrived at Namur on the 24th, .escorted by two gendarmes, and was immediately taken to ti e Mili tary Governor of the Province by the Aide•de-camp of General Tabor, who accompanied him. He has been lodged in a decent apartment, in the building occupied by the gendarmes. Every precaution has been taken to render his escape impossible. General Evain and M. de Latour Mairhurg breakfasted yesterday with Marshal Mortier, who proceeded on his way to Paris, whrre it was necessary that he should arrive to day before noon. The Marshal came direct from St. Pe teyshurgh, which he left on the 14th, having taken leave of the Emperor on the 12th. He much regretted that he was obliged to leave Brussels without having the honour of seeing his Majesty. The Handled)lad, of the 25th October, publishes a letter from the Hague of the 23d, which contains the fol lowing passage : " To•dny there was a Cabinet Council, which sat from half-past ten till three o'clock. It is said that it delibe rated on the new proposal of the Conference, and that the question of the navigation of the Scheldt had been placed by our Government on such a footing chat there is reason to believe that the proposa!s which are soon going to he made on our part to the Conference will be considered as satisfactory, and calculated to preserve peace. " it is believed that the answer dour Government will immediately be sent to London." THE STRENGTH OF OUR ARMY. (From the Courrier Beige.) From the moment when the project of bringing the army of the North into our territory, with approvers among the Ministerial party, was spoken of, we have thought that our readers would be gratified by a summary view of the strength of the Dutch and Belgian armies. It will also have the additional advantage of displaying the extent of the meanness of our Government, if it begs from France the assistance of the army of the North when the match is equal between Holland and us—when, we may say, that the balance is in our favour, The Courrier has given the details of the Dutch force, which it sums up by saying, " Thus the Dutch army in the field has only forty-six battalions and twenty-nin e squadrons, with 108 pieces of cannon ; while the Belgian army of the Centre has fifty-six battalions, forty-two ~ `+a Nib squadrons, and 130 pieces of cannon ; to which it must he added, that the battalions of the Civic Guard in Hol land are much weaker than those of the line."—Brussels Papers, Oct. 27. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET HOUGHTON MEETING. SUNDAY AFTERNOON. The racing season closes with this meeting, which will, to all appearance, afford an extraordinary quantity of sport ; it is commonly called the ‘. hay and straw meet ing," as every horse that has a run left in him is brought out in matches or handicaps, in the hope of paying the expense of training. Nearly 40 races already stand in the list, the majority of them matches, some of which are of great importance, as well from the high character of the horses as for the heavy sums at issue upon them. The Criterion Stakes for two-year olds, is the great bet ting race of the week ; it possesses unusual interest, the winters of the Clearwell and Prendereast Stakes (Glau cus and Lord Orford's grey colt) meeting on equal terms, each giving '7lb. to Dahlia colt and Jason, who ran so well up to them. The entries for it are 42 in number ; of these the following have already appeared in public :—Glaucus, (71h. extra), Lord Orford's colt (71h.), Jason, Dahlia colt, Weeper (21b. extra), Dirce (21b)., Tarantula, Elvas ton, Divan (21b.), br. to Beirain, Janissary, Wonford, Temperance, f. by Longwaist, out of Lacerta, Emery, and ch. c. by Dunsinane. The course is a difficult one for two-year olds, and therefore more calculated to tiring out a Derby favourite than the other two-year old courses ; it was last year won by Margrave, Archibald running se. cond, and both of these have since proved good horses. There are between 20 and 30 matches ; that between Priam and Emancipation is not speculated on, as it is be yond a doubt that it will not be run. Priam has closed his racing career, having acquired a celebrity by the excel. lence of his running that has never been surpassed, per haps not equaled. Margrave and Camarine's match at tracts much attention, and several thousands are staked at the making of the match the mare was backed at 5 to 4, but now Margrave is the favourite. Carnarine is al most matched for Saturday with Crutch over his own especial course, the T.Y.C.—he has the call. Glaucus has two matches independent of his race to-morrow; one for Wednesday with Lord Tavistock's c. by Jerry, who re • ceives 91bs. ; and another for 500 on Saturday with Lord Orford's colt, the result of which will be mainly influenced by the race to-morrow. On the Wednesday and Thurs day all Lord Exeter's horses in training will be put up for sale with their engagements, not, we believe, because his Lordship means to decline the turf, but simply to get rid of the t übbish and make room for the young stock now coming into training. A ridiculous paragraph has been circulated by a Stamford paper, stating that, through the malpractices of his trainer, the Noble Lord has been a heavy loser on the turf ; in plain terms this is fudge, for no man in his time has, on the aggregate, been so fortu nate. His Lordship has netted nearly 60,0001. in stakes, besides immense sums in bets. Betting on the Criterion-5 to 2 agst Glaucus (taken) ; 7 to 2 agst Jason; '7 to 2 agst Lisette (taken) ; 5 to 1 agst Dahild ; 8 to 1 meet Weeper ; two agst the field. There does not seem any anxiety to back Lisette p.p. We have reason to expect a full attendance of the Nobi lity, several of whom are staying at the Duke of Graf ton's, Colonel Peel's, Mr. Thornhill's, and other seats in the neighbourhood.

THE BRISTOL ELECTION. (From the Bristol Mercury, Oct 27.) Sir R. R. Vyvyan's speech, delivered at the White Lion on Tuesday last, will be found a pretty fair exposi tion of the Hon. Baronet's sentiments. He relies for success with the constituency of Bristol upon the recom mendations of seeking to undo all which the Reform Bill has done—of supporting the corn laws—the funded inte rest—the colonial interest —every interest but the inte rest of the people—of opposing cheap government —the vote by ballot—triennial Parliaments—the abolition of slavery—the reform of the Church—in short of up holding every abuse which the country desires to see remedied. Such are the qualifications of Sir Richard ! Do our readers wish better ones ? Let them seek them in his rejection by his own county of Cornwall ; in his subsequently entering Parliament as the nominee of Lord Falmouth ; in his second rejection by the county of Cornwall ; in his being cast off by the emancipated bo roughs of Penryn and Falmouth ; and, if any thing more be wanting, in his entering Nottingham with the inten tion of opposing Sir Thomas Denman ; and finding the case topless there, in his giving Bristol the honour of his fifth attempt for• a seat, in obedience to the advice of— whom ?—the Duke of Newcastle ! Yes, the Noble Duke, finding that he could not, with his usual facility, do " what he would with his own," advised Sir Richard to try Bristol ! The patron of Sir Charles Wetherell must have intended to laugh at him ! During the week a vigorous canvass has been in opera tion in several parishes. The Conservative Candidate has canvassed some in person ; and, notwithstanding the boastings of his party, we are apt to think with indiffe rent success. With regard to the canvass on the Liberal interest, we are enabled to state that as far as it has gone, it has been most flattering. In the parishes of St. Mary Rtdcliff, St. Thomas, and Temple, efficient committees, in behalf of Messrs. Baillie and Protheroe, have been formed ; and they have met with so much success, that a triumphant majority may be said to be secured, in these populous districts, in favour of the Liberal cause : in Castle precincts the canvass, as it now stands, presents the fol lowing results 73 ; Protheroe, 69 ; and Vy vyan, 6 ! ! ! The sudden resignation of Mr. Baillie surprised, while it grieved us. No one would regret more sincerely than ourselve', his retiring from public life ; but if his resolu tion be unalterable, the sooner another Liberal candidate is provided the better. We are, however, inclined to be lieve, with his private friends, that, though he may very naturally shrink from the fatigue of a con tested election, he will, nevertheless, sit if re turned. Yet we should like to see a direct admission, on his part, of his readiness to do so,—that would be perfectly satisfactory. With regard to the ques tion of expense, a direct coalition between the parti cular friends of both the Liberal candidates, would insure their return at one-tenth of the cost to which their con servative opponent must be subjected. We see nothing to hinder such a coalition; and we desire to see it carried universally, as it has been partially, into effect. No honest Whig can be content with returning one Liberal Member only; and we have great doubts of the " respectability" of those who are willing to let the Tories have their re presentative. We predicted that the mis-statements of our contempo. rary, on the re-action among the trades of Bristol, would shortly be contradicted on the walls of Bristol ; and that prediction has been fulfilled by the appearance of declara tions from the following professions :—The cabinet makers, cork-cutters, carpenters, printers, brush-makers and bellows-makers, braziers, sawyers, tinplate-workers, toy-makers, curriers, sugar-bakers, cordwainers, pin makers, tailors, coopers, basket-makers, and coach - makers. The resolutions of these trades have been as unanimously passed, and the matter of them has been as much to the point, as ever it was. Reform is their object, Baillie and Protherce their watch-word, as long as they ass willing to brave the contest; but whether one or both of them abide the contest or no, nothing short of two Reform representatives will satisfy the trades of Bristol. TRIAL OF THE MAGISTRATES.—In ano ther page will be found a complete report of the first day's proceedings of these interesting trials : we shall refrain from all comment till they are concluded. Our &flow citizens are indebted to the proprietors of The Sun, for their spirited exertions in furnishing them with a complete report of the proceedings of the first day, in a second edi tion, which arrived in town by the mail yesterday morn ing with the other daily papers.—Bristol Mercury. SHERIDAN KNOWLES is soon to appear in London as the hero of his own play of Virginius, and we have no doubt that he will sustain the character extremely well. It must always be interesting to see an author of such undisputed ability in a production of his own that has been so highly popular. We had heard that William Tell was to have been his next part, and that he had added to the play a new scene, peculiarly adapted to his own style of acting. He is now very industriously at work on a new play, in which he is endeavouring to follow up the manner of The _Hunchback, and we recommend that the Manager of Covent-garden should not distract KNowr.xs more than he can help, by requiring him to appear too constantly as an actor. DISSENTING MINISTERS.--On Thursday at Wisbech, Captain Youx's agents objected to Mr. TAI , . LOR, a Dissenting Alinister, having a right to vote. He stated that he was appointed by the congregation gene rally, but believed that his appointment was for life, and that so long as he conducted himself well, it was not in their power to deprive him of it. lie received a part of his emolument front the rents of land. All.. COLLINS, the revising barrister, decided on the validity of his - claim, and added, that if he had been compelled to decide other wise, it would have been with great reluctance, because he thought, from the intelligence and endowments now generally possessed by Dissenting Alinisters, they were fully entitled to a voice in the Representation.—Hun tingdon Press. PAPER MONEY.—Mr. ATTWOOD contends that paper money ought to spring up like grass to the ox's mouth ; that is, it cannot be too abundant. Mr. FIELDEN replies, " Then make 800,000,000/. of it, and pay off the debt." These paper schemes will only do on paper.—Bristol Mercury. A new suspension bridge over the Rhone at Condrieu was opened on the 19th inst., in the presence of the Prefect and the other authorities of the department. STATE OF TRADE.—We are happy to ob serve the present condition of our manufactures, and that en pl they are continuing to improve. The spi nners and ma nufacturers of stuff goods are very busy, an d , from what wa and l a e n ar n a , dv a a r n e ne deriving i n consequently uen tiy profit.ta The sales in British an d F ore i gn woo l s h ave been large lately, Still we are confident that the supply will be equal to the demand, and that th ere w ill not b e a very extensive ad vance. 'fho blanket and flannel trade is very brisk, and the manufacturers about Heckm o d w ik e can s y carcel sup ply the demands for b'anketing.—Halifax Express. We are happy (says the Leeds Mercury) to he able to state that the trade in this district, though yet for from prosperous, continues to improve, and a great deal of business is doing in a cafe way, without anything like speculation. The low stocks in the hands of the re tail dealers are now in the course of being replenished ; and it is expected that the farmers, 1 - vv.tose circumstances have been improved by a good harvest, and a remunerating price for their wool, will be considerable customers for ma nufactured goods this winter. The worsted stuff trade is in a still better state than the woollen trade, and has ad mitted of an advance both of prices and wages. The blanket trade, after some months of deep depression, has become uncommonly active. On the whole, the prospects of the winter are encouraging. Our accounts from Lan cashire are at the least as favourable as those from various par ts of Yorkshire. The cotton-manufacturers are well employed, and the large demand which they now have for the home market is clearing off the heavy stock of goods they bad accumulated. They also find their payments come in punctually, which speaks well for the situation of the drapers. The foreign trade is improving. Cotton- Wool has risen id. per pound within the last five weeks, owing to the stock in the ports being 60,000 bags less than at the same period last year, whilst the consump tion con tinues great; and it is supp ose d th e diff erence will he still more considerable before the end of the year. EXTRAORDINARY PROPENSITY FOR TH EA TRICA Ls.—At the Surrey Sessions, on Saturday, RICHARD HANKS, a dull heavy-looking youth, was indicted for steal ing a quantity of clothes and other articles from his fa ther. The prosecutor, a glazier, with t ears i n hi s eyes , detailed various robberies of which his son had been guilty. The Chairman asked what the prisoner did with the pro duce?--The prosecutor said his son had no bad associates, but be spent all his money at the play-houses. Chair. msn --Does be play at private theatres, for such places frequently lead to the destruction of yo un g m en ? Pro secutor--The only vice he has, that I am aware of, is his propensity for going to the theatres; and, to accomplish hi s purpose, he has reduced me and the rest of my family almost to beggary. I have tried every expedient to break him of the expensive habit, but all to no purpose; if a nos , p i ec e, or a new actor appears, nothing will preVent him from being present on the occasion. The prisoner, who admitted he could not withstand the temptation, was sentenced to fourteen days solitary confinement. DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK.

Richard Bentley, New Burlington -street. (Late Colburn and Bentley. ) ebt *nu. LONDON, MONDAY EVENING. OCTOBER 29, 1832. The ratification of the treaty signed by Lord PALMERSTON and Prince TALLEYR AND was received by the Prince early on Saturday morn ing; and an appointment having been immedi ately made with Lord PALMERSTON the ratifi cations were exchanged at two o'clock on Saturday. We understand, however, that great efforts are making by the Conservatives here, and by the Carlists in France, to induce our KING and LOUIS PHILLIPPE to prevent the execution of the treaty, the plans of the Con servatives for the restoration of CHARLES X. in France, and of a Wellington Ministry in England not being sufficiently matured. Should the liberal party obtain the upper hand, the French army will immediately enter Belgium, and, in all probability, an embargo will be laid in our ports upon Dutch property. It seems by the accounts from Brussels that King LEOPOLD is determined to identify his feelings with those of his subjects, and to stand or fall with them in the struggle for national in dependence. The conduct of LEOPOLD since he came to the crown of Belgium has been de serving of admiration. He has, unlike other Sovereigns, relied on the esteem and affections of his people for the support of his throne, and if a court faction has occasionally triumphed over his reason, the triumph has been of short duration. We hope he will persevere in the right course, for it will be delightful to see one popular King upon the continent. He has a glorious prospect before him if he will remain firm as the Sovereign of a free people, acting with and for them, and not as one of the divine and n o t th a t right family of Kings, wh o h ave en j oye d t h e i r privileges so long that they now re a lly b e li eve Kng that i n s ati a o re ns m w e e r r e e ly ma th d e e Kings,cfohriefa.mgistrate s o f t h e people, removable on the violation of the com pact which exists for the regulation and benefit of society. LEOPOLD is indeed only th e no minal head of four millions of persons, but let him perform his duty to them and he will have the warm support of fifty millions of freemen. The King of BELGIUM, who is at the same time the Uncle of the future Queen of England, and the husband of a daughter of the French KING is not a contemptible personage, although his own nation does not number one-seventh part of the population of France, and if an European war should arise—a war not for the mere settlement of the Belgian Question, but to determine whether despotism or freedom shall prevail in Europe—whether Poland shall be free---Portugal and Spain be again under the influence of a constitutional system—Germany and Italy be relieved from the yoke of ty ranny,—if such a war should arise, and LEOPOLD place himself at the disposal of the friends of humanity as the champion of liberty, he will be greater than any Sovereign who ever held the reins of authority ilr or out of Europe. The people of this country remember the generous sympathy shewn by LEOPOLD to the perse e cuted mother of the Princess CHARLOTTE, ong i Nw t e Gh cl 7 f ht b h r it, h rae d vpe u u r and the cold-blooded malignity with which his h thee calum nies wasate under Kl NG—th ey fered to the fountain head, and although they are too magnanimous to disturb the ashes of the dead by declaring the author of these calumnies, LEOPOLD himself stands vindicated before them. Let him, therefore, profit by the fa vour of the moment, and merit the esteem and good-will of a nation to whose future QUEEN he is so nearly related by acts worthy of a liberal and enlightened SOVEREIGN. When the Princess VICTORIA shall come to the Throne, she will need a good friend and counsellor to preserve her from the effect of the education which she has received in a Court filled with Tories and with a Tory instructor. Let LEOPOLD so act that the country may see with delight in his person such a friend and coun sellor. Letters from Vienna state that the formation of the present French Ministry has been re ceived there by the higher classes with the greatest satisfaction, and notwithstanding the warlike character of Marshal SOULT, they speak with the most positive assurances that matters are on the eve of being finally terminated on the most amicable terms, without being under the necessity of having recourse to arms. Since the exchange of the ratifications between Lord PALMERSTON and Prince TALLEYRAND there has been unusual bustle at the Foreign office. Last night two King's messengers ar rived very unexpectedly at Dover with despatches. Unfortunately there happened to be no steam boat ready, but so urgent was their mission that one was towed out of the harbour with them before the steam was up. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE embarked at Dover, on Saturday, for Calais. The President of the Council would hardly leave England at this time but for something very material. The letters from France this evening consider the change in the Spanish Administration as likely to lead to very important results. The QUEEN is represented as determined on having very liberal men about her. The German Papers, received this morning, contain the two following paragraphs, which are important as exhibiting the secret policy of the " legitimates VIENNA, OCT. 16.—The Imperial Court is still at Schoenbrunn. The Archduke Rainer, Viceroy of Itely, with his family, and Duchess of Angouleme, with her niece, have apartments in the Imperial Palace at Vienna (the Burg), but go daily to dine with the Imperial Fa" mily at Schoenbrunn. The reception of the Duchess hY the Imperial Family is extremely cordial. She continue s to observe the strictest incognito, and has not yet once sr peared in the theatre. It seems quite certain that oar Emperor has refused his assent to any measures of coerchl ° against Holland, and that he acts in this entirely in CO I " cord with the two Northern Courts. BERLIN, OCT. 15.—News has been brought by $ courier from London that the French and English Pleni potentiaries have signed a convention, to which, however, the other Members of the Conference have not acceded' in which the use of coercive measures against Holland i• anticipated. This communication has caused great sense , ' tion here, especially as the English Cabinet is stated t° have conceded to that of France, the right to enter Belgturnt if all attempts to induce the King of Holland should fail' It is affirmed that our Court will not assent upon all terms to the march of any French troops into Belgium. VIENNA, OCT. 18.—Five per Cent. Metalliques 91 , 9 16; Four per Cents. 76k; Bank Stock, 1,131„--0 gerneine Zeitung, Oct. 23. We publish in another column an " Address of the inhabitants of Birmingham to the ancient and heroic Polish nation." This document de' serves attention, not merely from its lofty tol le , of independence, but als o f rom t h e fi ne co rdial feeling of sympathy, warm from the heart, an d struck off, as it were, on a heat, that breathe s through it. The high-spirited men of Birming" ham are not much in the habit of mincing matters. They do not wrap up their feelings in a cloud of words, so that there is no g etting at the substance ; what they have to say, tb e Y say in the fewest and directest terms possibl e ' such as appeal at once to the heart and the 1 . 10 " derstanding. Mark, in bow frank and affe e ' tionate a spirit, they bound upon their subjec t ' " Brave men of Poland. We call upon yo, from the heart of England." From the hea r ' of England ! There is a magic in the blunt' honest kindliness of this appeal, that there is 117 resisting nor misinterpreting. It is the s impl e but expressive eloquen ce o f th e a ff ec ti o ns, such as we have never yet heard, hut hope s oon t ° hear, in a Reformed House of P ar li amen t, a° a is as worthy of the men from whom it emanat es ' as of the nation to which it is addressed. _ There are no set of men who have such an in' fluence over the minds of their fellow-citizens n 5 the patriots of Birmingham. The very mentil of the word " Birmin g h am " con j ures up a hos_ of proud, thrilling recollections. We utter 11 , with a throb at the h ea rt and an exultation at the spirit. It is inseparably mixed up in our minds with Reform and regeneration. Bir mingham was the pure, full fountain from which issued that mighty torrent of waters, which, di rected as it now is into a fitting channel, bids fair to cleanse, fertilize, and invifforate the court' From Birmingham try. o f came that voice - thunder, whose echoes caught up, and multi' plied in every quarter of the kingdom, startle' the despots in their pride of place, n ila told them (and they felt the intimation 35 though it were a warning from heaven) th at their hour was come. That voice now again spe 3kil out in favou r of suffering h uman i ty. It bids P o land look up and not despair; it bids her tyrant paus e f and tremble. "Men of Poland," s a y t h e Men Birmingham —and who so worthy to address th e one, as the other ?-4‘ we would carry comfort t ° your desolated hearts. In the depth of yo r misery we would bid you not despair. Y Our wrongs have excited the indignation of Europe' The Governments of Europe may forsake yltrn but believe us, the people are tvith you. this very moment the storm is gathering o ver th e heads of your oppressors." We admire the pi th and wording of this passage. It is as stern, simpl e ' and emphatic, as a war-song of old Tyrtge s ; The men of Birmingham bid the men of Polo not despair, because, th oug h the G overnme nts °f Europe may forsake, yet the people ate w ith diem° ; that is to say, though brute force is against JO: yet the undivided moral power of the age is c l their favour, nay, is v i rtua ll y p l e d ge d to their support.
