Although the statement made by a Morning Contemporary, of the nature of the reply brought by 111 .DuRNtroFF to the despatches of which he Was the bearer from the Conference, is unfounded, the King of PRUSSIA not having declared that he will oppose coercive measures against Hol land, as stated by our Contemporary, we have reaso n to believe that the reply is of too equivocal a character to justify any further delay on the part of our Cabinet ; and that, with or without the consent of Prussia, measures will II? imme diately adopted against Holland. Yesterday Prince TA LLEYR A ND had a long interview with Earl GREY, and, after several conferences with the different Ambassadors, he proceeded to the Foreign -office, where he remained until three O'clock this morning, arranging, as we under stand, with Lord PA LNIERSTON the plan of operation rendered necessary by the conti nued obstinacy of the Dutch KING. The proceedings will, in the first instance, be entirely maritime, with a menace of relieving the Bel gians of a portion of their debt to Holland, if, after a limited number of days, the King of HOLLAND shall not have consented to negotiate with the Belgians on the basis laid down by the Conference; but it has been agreed, that if this should fail, the French army shall com mence operations, first offering every reasonable guarantee for their return after the object of their entering into Belgium shall have been at tained. The King of PRUSSIA, WO understand, has endeavoured to obtain further time, and at the least t° indu ce the British and French Governments to proceed with mildness ; but we can state from authority, that Marshal SouLT and the Duke of BRoGLIE have declared that too much forbezu ance has been already shown, and have given instruction s to Prince TALLEYRAND to press °Pon our Cabinet the necessity of decision and vigour. In consequence of these instructions M. de TALLEYRAND has, we are assured from a positive source, urged Earl GREY and Lord PALMERSTON to instant and vigorous action, as the surest means of averting a European war. The Prince is right. Delay only can bring the British and French Cabinets into hostile collision with the Northern Powers. If time be allowed for negociation, Russia and Prussia will take the first opportunity of assist ing Holland ; but if coercive measures against that Power be adopted at once, and vigorously Maintained, the question will be settled before Russia and Pnssia can find an excuse for inter fering in the dispute. cults th e pos i t i on of the French !Nlinistry is diffi , and th ere i s no c h ance of their meeting the Chambers with success, without a declaration in favou r of Belgium, our Cabinet must either act cordially and earnestly with that of France, or lea ve th e French to do thin gs in their own way— a course which might not be very agreeable even to our juste-milien, for if the French Govern ment were abandoned to its own resources, it Would be forced to seek support in the enthusiasm of the people for a war in which the principles of liberty would prevail against the obstacles which the Conservatives of different degrees have interposed. The extra c t s ext racts we have given from the French Papers, dated Sunday and yesterday, received this morning, have a m ore warlike appearance than any intelligence we have recently received fro m that quarte r of Europe. E ven t h e Ki ng of HOLLAND'S speech ►is hardly so conclusive as the many little circumstances we have gathered from the NouvelliNte, independently of the posi• tive declaration in the Message,. des Cha»zbres that the French troops are to enter Belgium on Monday next. At the same time, after what we have witnessed for the last two years, we shall not believe in a war taking place till hostili ties have actually commenced. If Louts-Put [- LIPPE were governed by w hat it is evident to every one but himself is his own interest and that of France, it would not be long before the King of HOLLAND was brought to reason. The same Papers contain a report from M. GUIZoT, the Minister of Public Instruction, to the KING, recommending the establishment of a kind of Journal of Education, for the use of the primary schools. The KING has approved of the establishment of the publication. It is to be called " A General Manual of Primary Instruction,' and is to comprehend, " Ist. All documents re lative to popular instruction in France ; 2d. Ac counts of everything relating to primary instruction in the principal civilized states of the world ; 3d. An analysis of works relative to primary instruction ; 4th. Counsels and directions fitted to insure the progress of that species of instruc tion in all parts of the kingdom." M. GUIZOT will find enough to do if he follows up his task, for a more ignorant peasantry does not exist south of the Oder than the greater part of that of France. We accept his present effort as an augury of good. Certainly the first thing to be done is to make known to the teachers appointed to the primary schools the best plans for them to pursue in giving their instructions ; and if M. Gutzon renders his country the essential service of paving the way for that kno , dedge, the pos session of which only can assure to a nation mional liberty, he will be entitled to its ever lasting gratitude, whatever may become of the Ministry of which he forms a part. The infatuation of the devoted Tories in creases daily. What was before simple obsti nacy, now amounts to absolute hallucination Having already ensured the triumph of Reform, by their rancorous, insulting, and protracted op position to it, they are now, by a similar course of conduct, doing their best to promote the suc cess of the ballot. We hear of the deplorable absurdities of these men in all quarters. North, South, East, or West, no matter ; wherever a shred of Tory influence remains, there that influence is sure to be directed to corrupt, unconstitutional ends. The latest Tory freak we know of has been played off by that illustrious statesman, the Marquis of BUTE. The very name " BUTE" stinks in the nostrils of every reader of English history ; it is but another terns for corruption, despotism, and the rankest bigotry; and the present representative of the family seems resolved that it shall not dege nerate into wisdom or liberality in his person. He is just now briskly at work in Glamorgan shire, endeavouring to reduce Cardiff once again to the condition of a rotten borough. His brother, Lord JAMES STUART, the present deservedly popular Member, has, in consequence, been compelled to resign ; and now every effort is making in every hole and corner of the borough, as also throughout the country, to return such a Member or Members as may be most remarkable for their subserviency to To ryism in general, and Buteism (which we take to be Toryism in a high state of inflammation) in particular. The Noble Marquis thinks, no doubt, he will be successful in his intrigues,— that he and his will be able to ride rough shod through Glamorganshire ; but he may rest assured that he will be disappointed in his ex - pectation ; or should he, by the exercise of Her culean energies of corruption, be enabled to bully Cardiff into submission, he will, by the accom plishment of his wishes, be the means of raising up a clamour for the ballot throughout South Wales, which in the end will carry all before it. As a friend to the ballot, commend us to a red hot Tory. He does the question more service by his superior stupidity, helps it to more arguments by his inveterate hostility, than the best and ablest Liberal that ever yet penned a line on the subject. The question, we foresee, will be carried, and that at no distant date, rather by the blunders of the Tories, than by the energy or unanimity of the Liberals. We are glad to learn, by the news from Con stantinople this morning, that the affairs of the SULTAN are not in such a forlorn plight a , ; previous accounts had led us to expect. It now appears that IBRAHIM PACHA has received a check in his victorious career, and that the cholera has attacked his army. In the mean time the greatest exertions are made by the SULTAN to reinforce his army. The report of the naval victory obtained by the Egyptians turns out to have been unfounded : CONSTANTINOPLE, SEPT. 25.—1 t now appears that the military disasters of the Porte are by nu means so great as they were at first believed to be. Ibrahim Pacha has not crossed the Tourie mountains, an attempt that he made on the fortress of Kumkale has been defeated by Mehemet] Pacha of Aleppo, and the cholera rages to a fearful extent in the Egyptian army. On t Iv.! other hand a numerous army, chiefly indeed of irregular troops, is again assembling near Konich, with considerable detachments of the Grand Vizier Redschid Pacha (who has arrived here to day), from Rumelia and Albania ; and Redschid himself is full of con fidence. The Sultan had a conference with the Grand Vizier immediately after his arrival, which is said to have con firmed him still more in his resolution not to lay down his arms till Mehemed Ali shall have been punished fur his treachery. The accounts of the loss of a batt!e at sea are now &- dared from many quarters to be groundless. It would redly he strange if a decisive naval action had taken place, that nothing certain should be knon n of it for a long time. The march of troops, and the sending of convoys and ammunition from the capital, continue with the same ac tivity, which is the more remarkable, as the discontent of a great number of the inhabitants of the capital is mani fested by repeated acts of incendiarism, and the ravages of the plague are still very great. Ore would almoAt he tempted to believe, that it was the object of the Go vernment to send the troops away, in order to save them from the dreadful malady. In general, the means of re moving them from the capital are facilitated as much as possible. MUNICH, OCT. 14.-The Greek deputation arrived here y es . er d ay, and put up at the h ote l appoi nted for the Regency of Greece, opposite the Palace, where they are to be consider e d as guests of the Bavarian Court. Durin g the last two or three days thousands of persons coming from far and near have been pouring into the gates of Munich to be present at the October fete, which was deferred till to-day. No guests were more eagerly ex pected than the Greek Deputies, who are sent in the naive of their nation to offer to their new Monarch, the son of the King of Rival-la, the first homage of regene rated Greece. They arrived ye , trrday morning, awl a , l eyes were fixed on them, when tee three old heroes in the scarlet dress of the l'aHeal, and their high Albanian caps, accompanied by their aides-de-camps, appeared to-day in some of the Royal carriages at the place where the fete is celebrated, and went into the box or gallery erected for them, opposite to the Royal pavilion. All the surround ing galleries, as well as the whole eminence and extensive field before it were covered with an innumerable multitude, when a salute of artilery announced the arrival of the King and the Royal family. The people welcomed with joyful acclamations the Royal carriage, accompanied by cavalry of the civic guard, in which two Kings were seated. The formal reception of the Greek deputies did not take place as had been intended, be cause, in consequence of the lateness of their arrival at Munich, they had not been able to go in form to wait on their Majesties at Court. The festiv was attended by greater multi•udes than on any former occasion, and the showers of rain that occurred did not interrupt it. Is the evening Chelard's opera, " Mache . h," was per formed in the Theatre, which was splendidly illuminated. Here, too, his Maje-ty appeared, with the young King of Greece, and was received pith acclamation'. Their Ma jesties were in their private box, and the Greek deputies in the grand box of the Court. The Greeks could not have seen their Prince for the first time, on any better day than this, as they beheld him in the midst of his faithful people. AICNICH, OCT. 15.—The Greek deputies went to-day to Court in great pomp They were presented to the Royal Family, to whom one at them addressed a speech in Greek, which was then real by the interpreter in a German translation. The Minister of the Royal house hold made an answer in German, which was read by the interpreter in Greek. The Deputies w, re then conducted to another apart ment, where they had an audience of the King and Queen, and then to the apartments of the King of Greece, who received them standing on the steps of the throne, at tended by the Regency of Greece. The Deputation, bow ing three times, approached the steps of the throne. The address of the Members in Greek, and the reply of a Member of the Regency in German, were read by the in terpreter in translations as before. The Deputies were then presented to King Odin by a Member of the Regency, after which they took leave, retired to their hotel in the same procession as they came. In the afternoon there was a royal entertainment in the Hall of Hercule•, to which the Regency of Greece, the Greek Deputation, and the Ambassadors of England, Russia, and France, were in_ vited.—Allgemeine Zeitung, 16th and 17th Oct. VIENNA, OCT. 7.—His Imperial Highness the Arch- Duke Ramer, Viceroy of Italy, with his family, arrived here yesterday. A letter from Tarvis, of Oct. 1, mentions, that after a very hot day and sultry evening, very unusual at this sea son in that country, the inhabitants had been roused from their sleep by several shock of an earthquake, accom panied by a loud subterraneous noise. Several buildings were much damaged.—Frankfort Papers, Oct. 17. We direct attention to the suggestions con tained in the Letter of our intelligent Corres spondent Alpha, respecting the question of war or peace. We rather suspect, however, that the re cent improvement in steam, and its extensive ap plication to naval operations, will in a great de gree supersede the plan of Lord MELVILLE, as to armed troop-ships. The facility of transport by steam is now so great, that it would be much cheaper and safer to keep the troops on land till their services were required, than cooping them up at sea, especially in wintry weather. As to the suggestion of employing marines, we believe Government have acted in that manner, during the summer, both on the coast of Ireland and on that of Portugal, where numbers of marines are embarked on board our squadrons of observation. We heartily concur with Alpha, that ii we must have war it ought to be entered into with a spirit and promptitude worthy of our national character. Half mea sures will never do. We have been favoured with a copy of Mr. GEO. SINCLAIR'S address to the electors of the county of Caithness. It appears that there, as well as nearer to us, the Conservatives have re course to the miserable arguments by which they endeavour to persuade the people that those who opposed all Reform are the best possible repre sentatives they can choose now that Reform has been carried. The present pretended approba tion of Reform expressed by the conformists, renders them as contemptible as their principles must render them hateful in the minds of all upright, straightforward men. The distinction between this class of candidates and the true, ancient advocates of Reform is well drawn by Mr. SINCLAIR. " I would," he says, " describe it to be a characteristic distinction between the real friend and the reluctant convert ; that the one would confer as much, and the other as little as possible on the people at large." We doubt aot that the electors of Caithness will know how to estimate the difference between the one and he other. The following letter from Mr. PERCEVAL, Chancellor of the Exchequer, written to Mr. SIN• CLAIR, in 1812, apparently after some overtures from the Minister to the latter for his support in Parliament had been refused, contains a fine specimen of the cant of the Tory party, con stantly putting forth its own prosperity as that of the people. It contains all that was really said against the Reform Bill ; and the answer to it is the same as was returned to the Anti-Re formers in Parliament. " Corruption has every where prevailed ; abuses have in all departments of the state multiplied ; you have profited by them, and we are miserable." We give the letter as a curiosity; it is a relic of a mode of thinking already ancient. In a few years more it will not be understoood without a glossary of the meaning of the words " liberty" and " pros perity," as here used - - " DEAR have had the honour of receiving your letter of this day's date, for the whole of which, but more particularly for the expressions and sentiments of kindness towards myself, which it contains, I beg to return you my best thanks. 4 Upon another point, I must say, that the modesty with which you disclaim the merits your father ascribes to you, is calculated to give me a firmer reliance on your father's report, than I should perhaps otherwise have been disposed to place upon his opinion, on a subject where his partiality might so very naturally mislead his judgment. I should not be acting with that openness towards you, with which you have honoured me, if I did not express my regret, (I have no right, and have no idea of presuming to do mere) that you are likely to exhibit another instance of a young, ardent, intelligent, but inexperienced mind, which, caught by the plan sibilities of theory, will be led to countenance altera- tions, whereof no human wisdom can forsee the practical result, in a Constitution, which, whatever im perfections may belong to it, has been practically tile cause and the instrument o f procuring to this country a degree of liberty and prosperity never known to exist in any country, or under any Government, upon earth. You will, I am sure, permit me to observe, that our Constitution has also this additional claim to our support at the present time, because it has hitherto proved suffi cient to secure itself, and all that depends upon it, in times when all oth er C onst i tut i ons have b een crumbling under the effect o f th ese convulsions, which s i m il ar t h eor i e s have occasioned elsewhere. But 1 have no doubt before you take a decisive step on this subject, you will first form —perhaps have already formed—a dispassionate estimate of the blessings which you put to hazard by any altera tion, compared with the improvements in prospect, with out forgetting the possibilities at least of mistake, and the certainty of ruin to all we now enjoy, which, if your Re form should not answer, the result of your experiment would produce. But I fear my pen is running its due bounds. I am, D ear Si r, your ' s very tru l y , SPENCER PERCEVAL Downing-street, January 26, 1812. on beyond TO TEE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR—It is not my intention to enter into any dis cussion in this letter on the Belgian question. That peace may still be preserved, that even now, at the eleventh hour, the illA of war may be averted from this land, is, I am sure, a wish in which I shall be joined by every friend of the commercial and finan cial interests of the empire. But if we are to be engaged in war, I trust it may be conducted at once ►n the most effective and economical way, and it is for this reason I beg, through the medium of your columns, to call attention to the plan of esta blishing armed troop-skips, proposed by Lord Mel ville in the year 1810. " I cannot entertain a doubt," said his Lordship on that occasion, " that if, at the beginning of last year, there had existed in this country an establishment of armed troop-ships, adequate to the conveyance of e'ght or ten thou sand men, a very considerable portion, if no the whale, of the enemy's ships at Flushin.! might hare been captured or destroyed." Is it not then worthy of the attention of Government, whe ther, instead of attempting what at this season of the year may prove an ineffective blockade of the Scheldt, a flotilla of arm d troop-ships might not be more effectual? For this purpose there need be no necessity of employing troops, except artillery; marines might be employed, and thus the objection of the late Lord Mulgrave, that " it was impos• sible to get over the difficulties that arose from the clashing of the two services" would be fully ob viated. I have only further• to remark, that I trust nothing short of absolute and imperative necessity will induce Ministers to engage us in a war; but if we are to be engaged in hostilities, that they will be conducted in that prompt and energetic manner which will best ensure their speedy termination. Let his Majesty's Ministers bear in mind Napo leon's advice to Massena, " Strike boldly, having srst well considered when to strike." Your obedient servant, ALPHA. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Accounts from Antwerp state that the Belgians were forced to break up their cantonments at Loenhout, a pro vince of Antwerp, during the nights of the Ilth and 12th instant, owing to the unexpected approach of the Dutch troops. It is also stated, that the Belgian Government have come to a resolution of taking vigorous mPasures, as all attempts at negociations with Holland have faileJ. It was reported at Antwerp, that a proclamation was going to be issued by the General for all persons to put their effects in a place of security, but this was opposed by the civil authorities, and would not he published until the deputation had returned from the King. The people of Antwerp exclaim loudly for the free na vigation of the Scheldt, and the evacuation of the citadel. The Prussian Consul at Antwerp has received from his Government aceounts that the Prussian troops were going to be put in motion for the Belgian frontiers, to protect the commerce of the North. The Hamburg Reporter of Friday last states that the cholera his broken out at Maestricht ; on the first day there were nine cases, all fatal. Letters from Magdeburg speak of large bodies of troops marchiig through that city in a westerly direction ; and letters from Mecklenburg say that great numbers of horses for military service are being purchased on the Prussian account. TIIE FUNDS, It now appears, according to all accounts, that the King of Prussia has openly declared that he will not suffer a French army to enter Belgitun, and to prevent this, as well as our sending a naval force to the Scheldt, he has manoeuvred to offer the Conference fresh propositions for the King of Holland, which the Dutch Government are going to take under their consideration. Thus procrastina_ tion appears again the order of the day, and it now appears Pretty clear that the King of Prussia and the King of Holland perfectly understand each other. The estafette from Paris is not of importance. Don Pedro's ship of 64 guns had arrived at Cherbourg on the 6th instant. Consols are very heavy this morning; they left off yes terday at 834 for the Account, opened at 83 . i, went dow❑ to 83i -8-. owing to the King of Prussia's determina tion not to let the French enter Belgium. HALF-PAST ONE. For a long time past we have not had such a struggle between the Bulls and Bears as we had this morning. Owing to the information that the King of Prussia would not suffer the French to enter Belgium, and his taking the part of the Dutch, an eminent broker sold 200,000 Consols ; soon after the great city capitalist bought 250,000 Consols, when it was immediately supposed that he had had some private information of a contrary nature, and that the King of Prussia would not prevent the French army entering Belgium, should the King of Holland not consent to the late proposals. This informa tion gains credit with the well-informed, and it is now the general opinion that not a gun will be fired, and the business will end in negotiation. The Bears have become greatly alarmed, and are buy log in again what they have sold ; and the Bulls have re mained masters of the field. Consols, which were done in the early part of the morn ing at 838 for the Account, in five minutes got up to 84 : at present they are 84 to y, with the Market lookieg up. The extreme fluctuation this morning has been about per cent. No news as yet from Portugal.

A considerable nuriVaer are in confinement, and a court-mar tial will speedily be held, with, I fear, fatal results. Con siderable pains are taken at present to conceal the facts, but you may rely upon what I tell you.—Norwich, Oct 1 9. —Kent (Peri Essex Mercury.

A letter from Madrid quaintly enough attri butes FERDINAND'S recovery to his physician. having "happily mistaken his disorder." Ptrhaps some of those who have recovered from the late epidemic in this country have not been less fortunate. ANATOMICAL SUBJECTS.—It is rather a curious circumstance, that the first subject given over by the Anatomical Bill should be the body of the well-known personage who went by the name of Lady BA aRYMORE but such is the fact. POST-OFFICE COMMUNICATION WITH PAals.—(Extract of a letter.)—You are aware that, during the entire of the negociations that have been en. tered into for the purpose of establishing a reciprocal esta fette between the French and British capitals, the French authorities have displayed a readiness and a liberality to concur in awl promote an undertaking promising so many and important advantages to commerce. Unfortunately there appears to have been some misunderstanding on the subject, which caused a suspension of those negociations. Since the return of Dr. BOWRING to Paris they have, however, been resumed, an:l I am truly happy to say with every probability of an early and successful termination. The plan has been so frequently described that you require not to be informed that it embraces the transmit of letters and newspapers on six dlys in each week, not by estafette, as originally contemplated, but by couch, with rapidity equal to that with which, on four days now only, letters and papers are forwarded by estafette from Paris to Calais. The practicability of the plan, as far as respects the land journey th roug h F rance , h as b een ascer tained by repeated trials ; satisfied of which, and feeling an interest in the which, it is to be hoped, will meet with correspond ing cordiality in London, the Directeur- General des -P . ostes (P os t mas t er -G e n e ral) is about to proceed to yo ur city tot thwith, in order to conclude a treaty (if it be no: too formal a phrase Si) to designate it) calculated not only to produc e immense advantages to commerce, but to draw still closer the bonds of amity which happily already exist d' betw een t h e two countr i es . Sh o uld n o untoward circumstan ce arise or occur, the plan might be put into almost immediate operation, but it is not intended that it shall commence " working" before the Ist January next.— Morning Paper, OLD BAILEY.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. Pe,,ry Giey was indic•ed for cutting awl Inaimini: his wife Mary Ann Grey, with intent to murder her, o r to disable her, or to do her some grievous bodily harm. It appeared from the state , nent of the prosecutrix tha , she and the prisoner had been married 12 years, and ha four children living ; the eldest 12, and the youngest 2; years old. He was a cabinet-maker by trade, but the. were in great distress from being unable to dispos of the goods he had nianufectured, and sh went out to wrek in order to endeavour to provide for her family. On this day week, on comin;.! home from her work rather late, he upbraided her with infidelity, which she denied. A quarrel ensued betwe them, whit!' was put an end to by the interference of their landlord, and they went to bed. On the following morn ing she was going to work as usual, but the prisoner wouiii not allow her to go, and locked the door. They remaine in the room all day. In the evening, he walked about the room with his hands behind him, and she suspected tha! he had a razor in his hands ; she asked him if he had. and at that moment she saw the razor ; she tilt, called out " Murder," upon which he threw her upon the bed, and drew the razor across her throat. Her crit at length brought a person down stairs to her assistant.•, who rescued her, and then she was taken to a surgeon. A lodger in the same house stated that on hearing th. cry of " murder" she proceeded to the prisoner's mon., and saw him on the prosecutrix, from whose throat bloir , was issuing. She pulled him away, and accompanied dm prosecutrix to the shop of Mr. Robinson, a surgeon. Mr. Daniel Frazer, a surgeon, of Somers Town, stet, that he was called to the surgery of Mr. Robinson, wl.. was from home, and on going there he found the prosecu trix, who appeared very pale, and held a handkerchief t her throat, which was bleeding.

The agents fur Don PEDRO having collected together about 50 reel nits, the party were entertained wish a dinner at the Crown and Cushion. They enlisted to fight for Don PEDRO and Damna MARIA. Their pay was to be Is. 6d. per day, and a bounty of one guinea when they wont G n board the Royal George steamer, which dropped down to receive them at the Lower Water-gate. These recruits were for the most part raw young men. They wore the colours of their leader, and were loud in the cry of " Don PEDRO for ever !" Among the greenhorns there were, however, a few of the most cunning and knavish rogues in Wool wich. When the respectable inhabitants heard that their obnoxious neighbours were to be embarked for Portugal, they felt great satisfaction in the hope that the town would be free in future from their operations. This was unfortunately an illusion which did not exist long. After the prig bad been liAntlei about to the health of Don PEDRO and Donna MARIA, the u foresaid blowing ones began to display their tact by insisting upon the payment of four months in advance. They ate and drank freely at the expense of the officer, who acted as agent ; but when the time came to go on hoard the steamer, they refused to serve, became pot valiant, and d—d Don PEnno! Thirty-five, who had different intentions, went on board the Royal George, singing " Rule Britannia." and " Britains strike home." About fi!ty men for the same service mustered on the deck of the vessel, and re ceived their companions with three cheers. The crowd by the water-side also cheered their Ilion is who had kits their engagement, and were not spring of groans mid abusive epithets as applied to the defaulters. The latter were delighted with the idea of the trick they had pl.yeti Don PEDRO'S party. The steamer did not allow the recruits time to get sober and reflect, hut proce,drti on her voyage to Oporte.—Mornimp Advertiser.—[Thit niter. tainment should have been given on board the steam boat, and then the scamps would have been made sure ot,i ~~
