eburch." Il e abuses of the ecclesiastical courts have long enga g ed my attention ; and I have been for some time employes in collecting evidence on the subject ; but my labeners have been superseded by the appointment of a commission ; and my friend, the Bishop of London, tells me that the result will be a measure sufficient to satisfy even such a radical as me. The reform of the church in spiritual matters has been advancing with most ra pid strides; and whatever the event may be, I will say that no reform shall have my concurrence which does not include the removal of tithes, and the relief of Dissen ters from the payment of rates.—(Cheers.) As a true churchman, whatever they may think of me, no one would be more delighted than myself to be enabled to place her in power and glory if it could he done consistently with the good of the country.—(Hear.) I would wish to see every parish with its priest—the bishops exercising their offices, but not in the House of Lords—(Cheers) —and a more liberal allowance in some instance granted, while in others it should be curtailed.—(Hear.) But the nature of the reform must, I feel, be regulated by the willingness of the clergy to accept it; and I do not augur favourably for the existence of the Church when I see none of her ministers supporting Reform.—(Applause.) If, however, her funds shall not be found sufficient for her support, I will not be the one to recjmmend that the deficiency shall be made up by taxing the people.—(Cheers.) " To advocate short Parliament s , the vote by ballot, and a further extension of the suffrage." I believe that we have already convinced our opponents that annual Parliaments may exist without evil ; the two last having existed about that time ; and I therefore think we shall find little difficulty in now obtaining triennial Parliaments. My opinion in favour of the vote by ballot has received strength, from circumstances connect d with the last election, and I think the necessity of the ballot to protect the voter is clear, from the fact of an indi vidual having been compelled, for exercising his right according to his franchise, to walk the streets of Bristol ever since wanting employment. It is therefore my pur pose to introduce that measure to Parliament myself, if no one else will.—(Cheers.) With regard to the extension of the franchise, I think it is, in some respects, a mere mat ter of convenience; for if a greater number can exercise their right conveniently, I cannot see the right of with holding that right. "To vote for a repeal of all laws which oppress the people." First among these I include the taxes on knowledee—(Cheers)—the laws which make books d e ar, an d p reven t t h e poor man f rom purchas ing a newspaper. I fully anticipate a total repeal of them all in the next Session.---(Cheers.) Again, there are the corn laws—these too must be repealed ; the manner in which this is to be effected must he left to the wisdom of Parliament, but nothing short of their total repeal will be satisfactory to me—(Applause)—thir, too, is a favourite measure with my Hon. Colleague, Mr. Baillie.—(Cheers.) I have now gone through them all, and I see there is not one to which I already stand pledged—the reform of the abuses of the close corporation of this city.—(Cheers.) On the order book of the House of Commons, as far back as December last, is the notice of a motion for a better governirvent of this city. The particular details will be for the citizens to decide on, but no proposition would re ce;.ve my support that did not embrace responsibility to the city, popular election, the separation of the Recorder from Parliament, and the annual publication of ac. counts.—(Cheers.) It is not my habit to meet danger half way ; aed if we are to have n contest, as I suppose we are, let us meet the opposition resolutely. I wish to deal lightly with the Host Baronet, Sir Richard Vyvyan, because I know not whether he will come forward or no; but I ask how it is, after talking of Mr. Harford, Mr. Co' okson, and others, they are compelled to seek a man who was rejected by his own county in 1831 ; and who, now that county has four Members instead of two, find ing he cannot secure one of their seats, applies to the little town of Truro, just emancipated, and is rejected by that also?—(Cheers.) In thinking of Sir Richard, how ever, let me not be mistaken; he is an accomplished gen tleman —able to deliver his sentiments in Parliament, and if he comes here he must be met as such, but with firm ness.—(Cheers.) I pledge myself to meet him before the Trades, or at the Unions, and to contest principle with principle with him in fair and open argument —(Cheers.) Mr. Protheroe sat down amid enthusiastic cheering. Mr. HER APATII--I beg leave to move—" That the declaration of Mr. Protheroe's sentiments is prfectly satisfactory to the meeting." The resolution was then put and carried unanimously amid loud cheering. Mr. Devies—l beg le ave t o move— That a Committee be appointed to promote the objects of this Meeting; that such Committee consist of those Gentlemen who have acted in the arrangement of the preliminary proceed_ ings, with power to add to their number; that a Subscription be entered into to defray the necessary expenses ; and that Messrs. Haythorne and Wright be requested to act as Bankers to the Fund. The motion, having been seconded, wax carried unani mously. The CHAIRMAN then vacated the Chair, which was taken by Mr. Addington ; and the following resolution was moved by Mr. Bridges, and carried by acclamation : That the Thanks of this Meeting be given to Richard Ash, Esq., for the able manner in which he has conducted the busi ness of the meeting. The meeting then gave three cheers, and dispersed. DUTCH PAPERS. THE HAGUE, OCT 21.—Nothing further is known re specting the entrance of a French army into Be'gium, or the arrival of en English fleet off the Scheldt. On Wednesday last M. Hoogen, a Cabinet Messenger, set nut for London, with despatches from our Government. To-day he has returned from London with new despatches. Thus it seems that active negotiations are still on foot. We learn that the Committee of the Second Chamber appointed to draw up an Address to the King adopted a report yesterday, which it will lay before the Chamber to morrow, and which will the❑ be examined in the sec tions. It is expected the Chamber will be able to vote the address on Wednesday, so that it may be presented to his Majesty before the end of the week. The sections will afterwards beein to examine the projects of law lately presented to the Chambers. - TILBURG, OCT. 19.—Since the first division has been moved further eastward the frontier posts to the north and east of Breda are occupied by troops from this fortress and from Bergen-op Zoom, and secured against any surprise on the part of the Belgians. Boxs to Due, OCT. 21.—We learn from Tilburg that his Royal Highness the Prince Field Marshal is busily en gaged in inspecting the numerous means of defence from that place to Bergen-op-Zoom. The necessary measures for shutting the Oude-Maas are in a good state of defence. The troops in the field are in the same positions, and re ceive daily reinforcements. Among the financial measures just brought forward is a project of law to place at the disposal of the Government the surplus of the votes of credit for 1832, viz. 5,290,683 florins for the army ; 572 274 for the navy, in consequence of the state of war during the last months of this year ; and 5,032,258 for the Finance Department, in order to provide on the let of January for that part of the interest of the debt which comes to the account of Belgium. To meet the expenditure which may he required by a continuance of the state of war in 1833, the Minister pro poses a voluntary loan of ninety-three millions, at five per cent. interest, divided in 31,000 shares, of 3,000 florins each. This loan is a sequel to that of last year, which was generally approved. DUTCH FUNDS.—AMSTERDAM, OCT. 22.

As the Royal George steamer, which had t,ken on board a large number of men for the service of Don PEDRO, was about to get under weigh, a gentleman, in the garb of a military officer, made his appearance on deck, and read an address to the men, and offered them immediate conveyance on shore if any of them were dis satisfied, and did not wish to leave England. The men •;fied their consent to go by repeated cheers, and excla tea,— Don PEDRO for ev er !" b u t, s t range to say, ma tions of " a few minutes afterwards, as the vessel was beginning to move, four of them threw themselves overboard into the river, and swam ashore, amidst the hisses and groans of those on board ; but not the least violence was offered them. A vessel sailed yesterday with arms, ammunition, and 100 men, for Oporto. About 11 o'clock on the forenoon of the 16th inst., a small boat, belonging to the fishing village of Boddom, near Peterhead, with 13 persons on board, while sailing across the bay to the latter place, was upset by a sudden gust of wind from the west, and we are sorry to add that seven of them met a watery grave. The other six were saved by a boat that was in company when the ac cident happened. Four of those lost were married men, and three have left families to lament their untimely fate. N, FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Journal des Debats of Oct. 22). The States-General of Holland are opened ; the session of the Belgic Chambers commenced on the 10th Nov. ; the French Chambers are summoned for the 19th ; and the general election in England will take place in Decent her. Thus, one half of Europe will find itself simulta neously restored to the regular but active movement of constitutional government, and publicity and discussion will at once seize upon all questions, both foreign and domestic. There is a qt:eation with all, which seems for these two years to have concentered all general interests, and absorbed, so to speak, all the moral forces of Europe. The offspring of onr Itevolut'ion,in the midst of the uncertainties and first hazards of European policy, it at first appeared to threaten the peace of the world, having been afterwards brought, by able and laborious negotiations, within the limits traced roc it by reason and experience, it only served to draw forth, on the one band, disinterestedness and sin cerity of alliances, and, on the other, the most concilia tory and pacific dispositions, with a new view of the question. The battle-field of Europe has, so to speak, thus become the neutral ground of its pacific negotiations. This question is that of Belgium. Belgium having taken her place in the great family of Europe, and her Sovereign having accredited his pleni potentiaries to his new allies, the time is now approach ing when, as regards Holland also, she must in reality stand as such. All that is left to he done is the simple execution of stipulations, which have all received the assent and concurrence of the great Powers. Political inde pendence is granted to Belgium---the national sovereignty has been recognized—the boundaries defined. All that remains to he consummated is the reciprocal evacuation of a few square leagues of territory. It is this last result which is to be obtained ; it is that which all the Consti tutional States of Europe will legitimately and together call for ; it is that which all wise men pray fur, and that which, in case of need, they ought to hasten by their efforts. We have approved of the spirit of moderation and pa tience which has presided at the last negotiations ; we conceive that all the means of friendly negotiation with Holland were exhausted ; there was even in that conduct pursued towards her a certain homage paid to the truly national attitude of a people, struggling to the last extre mity against a hard sacrifice. This can last no longer : in our opinion the text itself of the stipulations will tolerate no longer delay. Great nations now press forward claims not less real, not less sacred. England, in its elections, France in its Legislative Chambers, require that the peace of the world should be fixed upon a firm foundation. They will nit leave open to bad passions the only vent which the wisdom of the European powers has not bean able to close; neither the one nor the other will allow themselves to be called upon to defend their allies against the reflec tions of malevolence. All that is to be done is to keep reciprocal promises, and turn written conditions into ex ecuted conditions. That the hasty and premature employment of coer cive measures against Holland should. have alarmed timid interests, awoke delicate susceptibilies and wounded natural feelings, is easily imagined and excused, when it is not desired to make European policy an arena of constantly armed passions, always ready to use might for right, and the sword for an argument; but that, after two years of good faith, of disinterestedness, and patience—now that the powers of Government are confided to pure hands, worthy of the succession they have received, we are to have Europe represented as in a new and unexpected atti tude, and shuddering at the fall of a state of things like the pre.ent, that the bond of alliances is loosened by re spect fur treaties, and dissolve.' by their execution, is what we never will admit. Predictions such as these may be ranked among those which the event has always belied.— As much strangers as any one to the secret of the present negotiations, and to the more rapid movement which the very nature of things must have impressed upon them for some weeks past, resting our judgment as to their result only upon the press, and the documents it publishes, but confi.ling in the loyalty of Europe, because we know France to be loyal—in the disinterestedness of Europe, because we know France to be disinterested, we cannot help seeing that the decisive moment is arrived ; and for our own parts, in thought overleaping the time which still separates us from a result obtained almost as soon as aimed at, we already see the peace of the world consolidated by the many dangers with which it is threatened by partizans less sincere than ourselves for its maintenance and duration. If we have yielded to an undue confidence—if our loyal anticipations should be betrayed by the event—if there were in Europe a single Cabinet impudent enough all at once to cast back into the domain of passion a policy so painfully brought within the sphere of positive interests— if England and France, united by the most identical and solid interests which ever commenced and maintained an alliance, should find enemies where they have only sought for and found allies—our country ought still, in our opi nion, to be of good heart. We believe that the men who direct its councils will be equal to all events. The ques tion is not whether France and Europe shall be lightly exposed to new dangers, but whether we shall not dispose of the only one which embarrasses the present, and would infallibly compromise the future. (From the Messager des Chambres of Oct. 24.) The following note was addressed on the sth instant by the Belgian Minister for Foreign Affairs to the Minister for Foreign Affairs of France : " The undersigned Minister for Foreign Affairs of bis Majesty the King of the Belgians having laid before his Sovereign an account of the state of the negotiations opened at London, and principally as to the new acts which had intervened since the Belgian Plenipotentiary was fur nished with the necessary powers for entering directly into communication with the Plenipotentiary of the Nether lands, has received orders to make the following declara tion to his Excellency the Minister of his Majesty the King of the French for the Foreign Department. " The Government of his _Majesty the King of the Belgians having addressed, under the dates of the 12th and 13th June, the Cabinets of the Tuileries and St. James's, claiming the execution of the engagements con tracted by the treaty of November 15, received for answer that the Conference would occupy itself with the means for insuring this result without delay. Relying upon this assurance, and the approbation sig nified by the note of the Conference of June 11th, of the line of conduct which it had traced out for itself, the Bel gian Government was expecting an immediate termination of the difficulties which had already too long existed, when Holland suddenly gave a new and unexpected direction to the negotiations. " The Cabinet of the Hague, while appearing to offer to negotiate an arrangement directly with that of Belgium, had given rise to a belief that pacific means remained to be used; and by thus arresting the proceedings of the Confe rence, at length succeeded in throwing upon Belgium the responsibility of delay. " This it was that induced the King of the Belgians to depart for a moment from the resolution formed by his Government, not to take part in any negotiation till after the evacuation of the Belgian territory ; and consequently measures were adopted by his Majesty to open a direct negotiation, in order to ascertain, in a positive manner, if it were possible to obtain an amicable arrangement with Holland. " The Belgian Minister Plenipotentiary at London was, on Sept. 18th, furnished with full powers to negotiate, conelude, and sign a treaty, direct with the Plenipoten tiary of his Majesty the King of the Netherlands. The Belgian Plenipotentiary, on acquainting the Conference with his new mission, declared by a note, dated Sept. 20, that the King of the Belgians did not intend to suffer any incroachment upon or prejudice to his rights, but reserved to himself, in case this direct negotiation should remain without result, to claim the execution of the engagements contracted by each of the Five Powers. " The Government of his Majesty the King of the Bel gians became ere long acquainted with the note addressed to the Conference by the Dutch Plenipotentiary, under the date of September 20, as well as with the result of the labours of the Plenipotentiaries of the Five Courts, in their meetings of the 24th, 25th, and 26th of the same month. From these documents it obtained the conviction that the Dutch Government could not be led by the ordinary course of negotiation to a direct approximation to Belgium, and that all hope of conciliation having become illusive, the Belgian question could no longer be regarded under any other point of view. " In such a state of things, the French Government will undoubtedly admit that it is the duty of the under signed to protest, in the name of his Sovereign, against any measure which might leave an opening for negotiation, the sterility of which has been demonstrated by long ex. perience, whether it has been attempted by the simulta neous and combined action of the Five Courts represented in the Conference, or by the separate action of some of them. They can no longer deceive themselves upon their influence with the Cabinet of the Hague, especially after the check experienced by Count Orloff, in the pacific mission with which he had been charged by the Court of Russia. New efforts would remain ineffectual, as they have hitherto done, and would evidently have no other result than to create delays injurious, not only to Belgium, but to all Europe, whom they keep in suspense, the general disarmament being as it were connected with the solution of the Belgian question. " The time has therefore come to carry into execution a treaty invested, five months ago, with the cemnitou sane tion of the Five Courts, the non-fulfilment of which ex poses the peace of Europe to increasing and continual dangers. Since the last refusal of the Dutch Govern ment, there is no other means to accomplish this result hut the employment of material force ; for it cannot be supposed that the Powers will allow an indefinite post • poneinent, which would be highly injurious to the public order of Europe, and that, after laborious negotiations for two years, a treaty, so!emnly ratified, should remain with out being executed. . " In consequence, the und e rsign e d has received the positive commands of his Sovereign to cliim of the Government of his Majesty the King of the French, the execution of the guarantee stipulated liv the 25th article of the treaty of November 15, IS3I, concluded with Belgium. Circumstances require vigorous and efficacious measures. The undersigned ventures to hope that the French Government will not hesitate to take them, in execution of the engagements contracted with Belgium. " The undersigned begs his Excellency the Secretary of State of his Majesty the King of the French for the Foreign Department, to lay the present declaration before the King, his august master, and embraces this opportu nity to offer to his Excellency the assurances of his highest consideration.

The Augsburg Gazette of the 19th instant states tkat, according to the last accounts from Constantinople, the forces which the Sultan has to oppose to Mehemed Ali are greatly inferior to those of the rebellious Pacha. The Turkish fleet also has retired before that of the Egyp tians ; thus the island of Cyprus was left exposed to the attacks of the latter, and is said to be now i❑ possession of the Egyptians. It was reported that the Viceroy of Egypt would proceed to his army, and take the command of it in person. The plague at Constantinople makes great ravages among the Israelites, whose Rabbi, Hallam Bashi, died of that disease. Extract of a letter, of the 16th inst., from Munich : " It was not without a motive that Count Pozzo di Borgo made so many divergencies from his road to Paris. He was charged with an important mission by his Govern ment, and in order to ensure its success, had to obtain the concurrence of the Courts of Berlin, Vienna, and Munich. The subtle diplomatist commenced with Berlin, where his success had been ensured beforehand; armed with the aid of Prussia, he, with some difficulty, obtained the suffrages of Austria; but, notwithstanding his success at Berlin and Vienna, he could not succeed at Munich. The following was the object of his mission :—Since differ ences have arisen between the Viceroy of Egypt and the Porte, Russia has entertained views of conquest in Euro pean Turkey. Arrested by the intervention of the Great Powers, and latterly by the Polish insurrection, the Em peror has become more hold by the fall of Warsaw, the forbearance of the French Government, and the aversion of the English Cabinet to engage in a war. Count Pozzo di Borgo, charged with a mission through Europe, in order to clear the way to Constantinople, met with no objec tions at Berlin, as Prussia has no great influence in Euro pean politics, exc,pt through being connected with Russia; but he found obstacles at Vienna. Austria, the sincere ally of Russia when absolutism is to be defended, is jealous of her when territorial questions are started. Prince Metternich prefers, on the east of the Austrian empire, a weak neighbour like the Sultan to the powerful Emperor of Russia, who already presses heavily upon Galicia, and has a party in Hungary. In spite of these obstacles, it is asserted that the able Ambassador of Nicholas has been successful at Vienna, by offering Bosnia and some other Turkish possessions to the Austrian Cabinet, and by authorizing Austria to send troops into the Turkish provinces at the same time that the Russians shall pass the frontiers. Count Pozzo di Borgo, on arriving at Munich, entered upon the negotia tions, with as much promptness as confidence, but his pro posals were rejected. The Bavarian Cabinet declared to him that the new Government of Greece could not, under any circumstances, consent to become a neighbour of Rus sia; and that if the Court of Russia insisted, it would be under the necessity of appealing to France and England to support that equilibrium in Europe which Russia herself had so many times called for." According to a report current at Antwerp, the Prussian Government has received notice that a corps of the army of the Germanic Confederation will occupy the province of Luxemburg whilst the French army remains at Bel gium, in order to maintain the rights of the Confedera tion. We state this report without vouching for its truth. Con stitutionnel. PARIS, OCT. 22.-Our Exchange of this day opened under very unfavourable auspices.

(From the Morning Herald private Correspondence.) PARIS, OCT. 23.—The fall which took place in the Funds yesterday is generally ascribed to an impression entertained on the Bourse that " the King of Prussia has intimated a❑ intention of departing from the line of absolute neutrality which he bad expressed a determina tion to observe on the entrance of a French force into the Belgic territory, for the purpose of compelling the King of Holland to conform to the will of the Conference." For the apprehension which this very long-winded as surance is calculated to produce, there is, I fear, but too much ground. The Journal des Debuts of this day all but confirms the speculation of the alarmists of yesterday, respecting the resolution newly taken by Prussia on the subject in question. That resolution is, that a Prussia❑ army, equal in numerical amount to any which France shall employ in coercing the King of Holland, shall simul taneously with it enter Belgium. One probable consequence of this turn in the affair is, that the parties most interested in the matter, who are now actually in presence of each other, and who are al ready wound up to the highest point of exasperation, may, peadiag the negociation to which this MIT resolve of Prussia would give rise, precipitate the crisis by resuming hostilities. In either case, and notwithstanding the con tinued anxious desire of the French Government to main tain peace, a general war would be but too likely. A French and an English army, employed to effect a joint purpose, would vie with each other in bravery, and, I am sure, without any other feeling of rivalry ; but a French and a Prussian army brought into contact—no matter with what objnt—would, in all human probability, come to blows. If spontaneous hostilities occur between the Dutch and the Belgians, the French would instantaneously cross the Belgic frontier, even pending negociatious. The Prussians would, we are now told, in such case, do the like. Holland, emboldened by the new resolve of Prussia, would have, therefore, only to provoke hostilities, or even to procrastinate, in order to bring about that to which she must have all along looked—a general war.— This has too much the air of speculation to tempt me to extend or paraphrase it; I shall, therefore, only repeat that the impression of yesterday is strength ened by all we have heard to-day, and by the frequent in terviews of Marshal Gerard with the King. Yesterday witnessed two of those interviews, at each of which, I am assured, the King expressed his determination to abide by his firmer resolve that the French army shall cross the Belgic frontier cattle qu'il coute before the Ist of Novem ber, or sooner, should hostilities between the Dutch and Belgians be renewed ; but, at the same time, impressed upon the Marshal the necessity for the greatest circum spection and moderation in the execution of the very de licate and important mission on which he is about to proceed. With the letter of General Goblet to the French Minis ter for Foreign Affairs you are already acquainted. Al though dated the sth instant, it only now, for the first time, appears i❑ the Paris journals. One word more on this subject, and I close it for the present. New orders have been transmitted, by telegraph, to Lille, directing that the army of the North shall hold itself in readiness to march at a moment's notice. A new loan is anticipated on 'Change—an expectation which contributes to the gloom observable there. More over, not only are new overtures said to have been made to M. Dupin, but that they are undor that eminent per son's consideration, although his partisans contend that he would not, for a moment, entertain such a proposition, unless accompanied by a carte blanche. Here is another item in our summary of depressing circumstances. Every moment the inability of the Ministry, as at present con structed, to meet and propitiate the Chambers, appears to become more manifest, although the most fastidious could not point to any one act of the new Cabinet which ought to deprive it of public confidence. It is quite true that, in their comparative moderation hitherto, the new Presi dent of the Council, and the new Minister of the I nterior falsify the professions made by them not ten days ago, that, " the system of their illustrious predecessor (M. Casimir Perier) should be theirs ;" but, so long as the acts of Government shall continue to FP founded on a good system, it would be worse than loss of time to seek to convict them (Ministers) of inconsistency in following it. I regret to say that the King appears to suffer from at tention to business. His jolly, frank, healthful counte nance has become elongated, furrowed, an pale. Mar shal Soult, too looks a little care• worn. The cheek is pallid, but the eye as bright a ever. The period that has passed, and the contemplation of the crisis approaching, naturally account for those appearances. Both are said to have been taken by surprise by M. Guizot's lately sub scribing himself to the King's " subject ;" and certainly the occasion chosen for this return to the language of for mer times was not happy. I have reason to believe, however, that the phrase has never been entirely laid aside, no more than that of " Monsiegneur" in addressing the Ministers. To any person who should ask of what conse quence is the circumstance? I should reply, " Read the Opposition Journals." The French would endure (as I have before remarked) an attack upon their liberties much better than an attempt to limit the principle of equality. Order has been restored and prevails in Nantes ; but it is quite clear that the Opposition principle is actively in progress in the departments. In Paris we are tolerably tranquil. The principal batch of prisoners made on the 6th of June last, (those found in the cloister of St. Mery) are at this moment, I suppose. on their trial. They were brought before the Cour Royale this morning; but, from their being 24 in number, the trial will probably last many days. I have touch to say in nay next of those quacks, hypocrites, and libertines, the St. Simonians, and their late trial. Our foreign news is interesting. The discontent long smouldering in Naples is beginning to burst forth into a flame, if we are to believe private letters received yester day. If so, the revolt beine premature, its suppression will follow as a matter of course. Sweden, too, is me naced with political movements. With Charles John will, in all probability, end the dynasty of which he sought to be the founder, lie would find little sympathy in France, and has no lovers elsewhere. Three o'Clock. I have just now learn, on the best authority, that the officers and soldiers of the Army of the North have re ceived the sum of money always paid in advance previ ously to entering on campaign (here termed " indemnite d'entree en campagne"), and that the " etapes" (halting quarters), from Valencienns to the Belgic frontier are laid down and ordered. Marshal Gerard will, it is said, leave town to-day. No doubt remains, I am assured, that the army will immediately advance (passer outre), without regarding the threats or interference of Prussia. The Funds have fallen considerably. * One day that I called to inquire how M.

BRUSSELS, OCT. 21.--A traveller, who has arrived from Holland, announces that since the 17th, in the even• ing, the Dutch have extended their inund itions into the folders of Bergen-op• Zoom, Steenbergen, Hassel, into the Valley of Dentel, and the Aor, to beyond Breda, into the country of the Moerdyk, Klundert Gertruidenberg, to the country of Heusden, in all the environs of Bois le Due and Grave, to the Rhine near Nimeguen. The Memorial agrees with us to-day "that the inter vention of a nation in the affairs of its neighbours is always a calamity for the latter." And after having admitted this principle, the Memorial declares, " that it will rejoice if France fights in our country, and without us, against the Dutch." The Memorial asks whether we al9o would not rejoice at such an event? We answer, no; and the nation and the army will answer in the same manner. Coarrier Beige.

Antoine Piscatore, of the Commission of Go vernment of the Grand Duchy, going on business to Gre venmacber, wasorilered by the gen, d'armes at Niederantven to turn back, because he had no passport. M. P. was on his way back to Luxemburg, when the officer of the gene d'armes, changing his mind, arrested him, and sent him to Grevenmacher, whence the Commissary of the district sent him to Arlen. The Journal of Luxfnthoury attune, liat the village at which M. P. was arrested, is within the territory (rayon) of the fortress. (From the Moniteur .13elge.)' 13ttussELs, OCT. 23. —The civil Governor and the mi litary Governor of the province of Luxemburg have hastened to inform the Government of the arrest of M. Picatore, which took place, not within the territory of the fortress, but at Grevenmacher. This event was unex pected by the Ministry, who have accepted it as a fact calculated to effect the release of M. Thorn, who has been in captivity ever since the 1 th of April, in spite of the remonstrances of the Conference of London and of the German Diet, and notwithstanding the release of the agents of Tornaco. The reports of the Belgian authorities being in many particulars at variance with those of the mili t try authorities at Luxemburg, the Government has required further information respecting the particulars which accom panied the arrest ofM.Piscatore, who will not in any case be brought before the tribunals, but will remain in the hands of the civil and military authorities as a hostage. Gene ral Tabor is already authorised to propose and effect the exchange of M. Piscatore for M. Thorn. . Another paper says, that M. Piscatore having arrived at Grevenmacher, some persons informed M. Huart, the Commissary of that place, of the circumstance. M. Huart immediately ordered the gene d'armes to go and ar rest him. He was attempting to reach the frontiers by bye-paths, hut the gent d'armes got the start of him, on his return to Grevenmacher, where he was arrested. Be ing brought before M. Huart, he inquired what they meant to do with him, to which he received for answer, that he was taken by way of reprisal for the capture of M. Thorn. Such was the sole object of his arrest, and he was assured that be should be perfectly well treated. Great joy existed at Grevenmacher and Arlon at this event. This effair caused great sensation in the fortress. Ge neral Dumoulin wrote to General Tabor a threatening letter, demanding the release of the prisoner, who he pre tended was arrested at Niedranbren, within the territory of the fortress. It will be easy for General Tabor to prove the contrary. It is said that the Dutch General Goedicke has written to the provincial authorities of Ar lon, declaring that if the prisoner is not released in twenty four hours, the garrison of Luxemburg will seize all the Belgian functionaries in the environs.—Brussels Papers, October 24. VIENNA, OCT. 13.—The accounts from Constanti nople by the last mail are most unfavourable to the Porte, which seems approaching to its overthrow. The Turkish fleet has been obliged to retreat before the Egyp tian, and abandon Cyprus, which is said now to be in possession of the Egyptians. It is thought that Mehemet Ali, encouraged by his success, will now endeavour to de throne the Sultan ; and it is reported that he intends to go to the army and take the chief command. It is really time for the European Powers to interfere, otherwise in stead of a weak Government, on the eve of destruction, a vigorous power may be established, which at least, under Mehemet and Ibrahim, might be dangerous to Europe.-- Allyemeine Zeitung, Oct. 19. REPEAL of the UNION—The RECORDER. (From the Dublin Morning Register.) As we anticipated, Mr. Shaw has announced his intention of not again seeking to represent the city in Parliament. The reason he himself assigns for this step is worthy of particular notice at the present moment. He says : " The question upon which my determination has turned is that of the repeal of the Union. I find a large portion of my old supporters now in favour of that measure, as has been evinced in their several corporate meetings within the last few weeks; and I believe that will be found the feeling of a large majority of the new constituency. This causes me no surprise; on the contrary, it is but the fulfilment of what I myself predicted, in my place in the House of Commons, would be the inevitable consequence of the passing of the Irish Reform Bill, and of the general policy of the present Govern ment towards this country." The admission made in the first sentence of this extract shows the rapid progress which the national question of Re peal has made, even amongst those who were considered its bitterest opponents. Mr. Shaw avows that a large portion of the corporators, to whom he owes his late election, are now in favour of repeal—he knows that if the several guilds were fairly represented in the Common Council, the question, in stead of a minority of eighteen, would have had a triumphant majority, on Friday last, at William street. But even twenty six out of seventy, in such an assembly as the Common Coun cil of Dublin, Mr. Shaw rightly considers a triumph in favour of the measure. It would, however, be more complimentary to his corporate constituents, and more creditable to his own candour, if he had assigned the true cause of the change wrought in the feeling of the majority of those corporator, with respect to repeal. He covertly attributes it to the Reform Bill. They by anticipation have disavowed the insulting im putation. Those members of the corporation who derive their support from mercantile pursuits, or other habits of industry, have opened their minds to reason and argument—they have been convinced that the ruin of trade and the annihilation of manufactures in Ireland are attributable to the accursed act of 1800, and that the only hope of their resuscitation rests on the repeal of that destructive measure. There are, we believe, a few amongst them who have taken up the question by way of being revenged for the inroad made upon their monopoly, and the prospect, through the medium of the English Reform Act, of a speedy overthrow of all corporate power and corruption ; but we are convinced that the great majority of them have been influenced in their conversion by the cause which we have as signed. MR. SHEIL IN TIPPERARY-REPEAL OF THE UNION. From the Limerick Chronicle of Saturday.) The registry sessions for the town of Tipperary opened on Wednesday, before Mr. Fallon. Mr. Shell attended the re gistry, and on Thursday addressed the populace from the win dows of the News-room ; an immense concourse of people as sembled and listened to him with great attention; they cheered him repeatedly during his address. He said he came there not only to advocate their rights, but to offer himself to their con. sideration, in the room of Mr. Wyse, who he said was obliged to go to Waterford, where he had extensive connexions and much property. Mr. Wyse, lie said, regretted leaving them, but that his grief was somewhat ameliorated by the considera tion that one is offered to you to fill his place, who feels for your interest and prosperity as he does himself. Mr. Shell con tinued—You have seen or heard of me in the senate house ; and there did I regard the frowns or smiles of the Minister ? I disregarded his powers, and I also disliked his smiles; I fought your battles against tithes, and though a battle has been fought, still the campaign is but in its commencement; eighteen bishops and four archbishops, with 1,900,000/. of the public money goes into their sanctuary ; but I will sum up the whole in one word—we must have the Parliament in College green—for were only the one hundred Irish members to be consulted, no blame could then attach itselfto England—but it is not so. Is it by the sweat of the English the tithes are paid ? It is out of the pockets of the English 1,900,0001. goes into the sanctuary ? Mr. Shell then made an appeal to his auditors, thus :—" If any of you had a farm, how would you like a neighbour to encroach upon it? But it is not a joint farm— the English treat us as a mean, a contemptible ally, but we must have an extinction of tithes, and in repeal we will scourge it over the English. And," continued he " the Barrister has determined on staying here two days more—therefore, who soever has not registered, let him do so on to-morrow or Sa turday. Do you understand me ? I know not whether I can be heard by all ; but my voice, I know, is strong enough, for as little Jelin says in the play, Though I dos little lam made of good metal.' I will now conclude with three cheers for O'Connell. The same for our good, glorious, and (I hope will be) happy isle." Mr. Shell retired amidst cheers. Mr. Roe, of Roesboro', also addressed the populace at great length. The Barrister left Tipperary yesterday for nudes.

Gentlemen ° I , the Jury—You have learned, from the information wbi e has just been read by my Learned Friend, that you a re called from your homes to perform a most important (Wi t viz. to try an individual wh o has be e n pla ce d in an offiecei of high trust, but who was ch ar g e d with havin g berg t that trust by not ex e r c isi ng th e authority a nd pe t , with which he was invested as chief magistrate of the e it ; to protect the property of those placed under his car e ' This gentleman was Mayor of Bristol, and we charge h id ' that during nearly 4S hour s , when that city was placed tD a most alarming state of consternation, and in a s.tuatieli of great danger, he neglected and abandon e d his duty, 5 4 withdrew from being found by tho se who wiqa-d to di s' cover him. lam sure, gentlemen, it is needless for Ine t , request soar attention to all the facts which I shall h ae " o lay before you ; convir c d as I am in my own mind that tse result will leave no doubt of the truth of the charge in the formation. The basis of the accusation is perfectly well knovl tt to you, and inde e d it i s sufficiently notorious. It mus t r proved to you almost as a matter of form, but it is alresar t well known that the city of Bristol—a city of the fi r e rank in this great em pi re , wa s , for the p e riod I ha g mentioned, in the state of confusion I have stated to Ye et When it is further added, that three prisons, two in the city and one in the vicinity, were broken open by a t o 's multuous and lawless mob, the priorners let loose, a l , plunder carried on to a vast extent, that three g ad were destroyed by fire, the Mansion-house, the reside ae, , of the Chief Magistrate, destroyed, the Bishop's Pa l o f reduced almost to a heap of ruins, and the dwelling , " ft incividuals plundered or destroyed to a number little Ol e o of forty of the best houses in the town, I think I ha case stated nothing which does not raise a prima facie c o , against the Magistrates who were invested with the CO S I o 0 of the city, and which leads us to inquire where were to o Magistrates, what was their conduct, whether they t tbet any and what steps to repress such scenes, and wile they exerted th e aut h or i t y th a t was pl ace d in th e,- ni e I am sure, gentlemen, it would be idle for ra, to lay down to you the na t ure o f t h e duties otb. attach to the office of M ag i s t rates ; a ll M ag i strates are em s - phatically the conser va t ors o f t h e peace ; w h en the Pe a , is in danger, it is th e i r peculiar and bounden duty to P te serve it; and when it is broken, they are inaperatisceil, called on by their office to endeavour by all means in et power, by the strict exercise of their authority, to rePt‘ t e ss outrage by calling on all persons to aid them, ever' 10 0 , taking up arms if necessary, to protect or restore the Pe a ti o Such is the well known duty of every Magistrate, and bp was the dutyimposed on all corporate Magistrates who e 0 this defendant acted under a charter, which invested t w o with that authority. Instances o f n e glect of that duty P - 0 , occurred. In the riots of 1780, whi c h occurred in ee ° o,o quence of Parliament having relaxed the laws against ed Roman Catholics, the Lord Mayor of London was eba r go with a neglect of his duty, not altogether dissimilar to, o f present case ; he was brought to trial, and convic tee er the offence, but in consequence of his dying before be D v brought up for judgm en t, w e h a v e no record of the :tos elusion of that case. But, gentlemen, the law pr ess , jte moat liberal constru c tion i n th e e x e rcise of magisteri v o ter ties, and most liberally affords protection to tragi 9t ef to for anything they do in virtue of their office , 60 ,1 if the exercise of the duties is not strictly e el ' l sel to what is legal. B u t t h e l aw requ i res that ot, should act with vigour and promptitude for the P r or tion of the peace, and they need nut be afraid e t 0 4' severe consequences to themselves, either of a civil ele`oest minal nature. I cannot conceal from you, gen t n ee that there appears thro ug ho u t the whole of this g o e b i s h man's conduct a considerable mistake in the view off he seems to have taken of his duty ; for while & as , : have dangerous riots were taking place, he seems toPu t ceived that if he caked in the aid of the military letbsir down the disturbance, and required them to act °Pelle own views and their own responsibility, he sit l e per' divested himself of authority ; and I think you w t o . o os ceive that that unfortunate desire to shift the an t Y il itar . ); his own s boulders, and to transfer it to the ° so il& authorities, prevailed throughout his whole conduc t s t it is a o to the unfortun a te consequences which followed ; he as, well-known rule, established as the law of the Iselv 300 laid dow n i n t h e H ouse of Lords by Lords Thlo te I she a , Mansfield upon th e occas i on I h ave a ll u d e d to , acP the riots of 1780 were di scussed, that the soldier i71,0f a case stood in no different situation from th at „ ° ,o o4 ,, other subject of the King. It was not that a"' o' l like martial law should be established ; the soldiers s le only to be required in aid of the civil power ; ‘ltt power is first to act, and if the soldiery be e s " s - iy r e ; they are not in the nature of a hostile force , but i br a quired as the King's subjects to aid and assist. To t l , ' I been laid down in all times, and by the authorities. In that very useful work, Bur° b or, there is an opinion written by L or d Ell e nbotoog 0 ,90, the subject; and in Bristol, when many unfortunate PTO°, w re tried for these riots, Lord Chief Justicee and laid down the rules of law up on thi s p o int in th sitif clear and perspicuous manner. Any one of the t pi subjects is authorized to suppr e s s a riot, and even a r: tar y force is invested with the same authoritY. ts atlb o i troops may act under their officers, but it wa s c ho riti .r s desirable that they should always have the an t t tb e ; the Magistracy to conduct their proceedings; " t be: o might be circumstances which would prevent tharato done.
