The following Orders in Council were issued t his day :—For releasing Dutch vessels with Perishable goods on board, and permitting them t o proceed on their voyages, and for permtting hssels to clear out from British ports for Dutch ports in the East and West Indies. COMMENCEMENT OF HOSTILITIES. No accounts from Antwerp, of a more recent Gate than those which are given in the Morning papers, have been received at the Belgian Em l'assy. We understand, however, that the offs. ejal accounts fully confirm those of our morning co ntemporaries. The letters from Brussels state that the KING has not been able to induce t he person s t o w h om h e h as offered the Porte feuilles, which the present Ministers have expressed 4 wish to resign, to accept them, and that as he unwilling to place the interests of the country the hands of the Republicans or the ultra-Catho Iles, by either of whom they would be placed in Feat danger, it is probable that the present Mi 4sters will remain in office. Opinions in Brussels are much divided as to ll 'e probable duration of the siege of the Ci tadel of Antwerp. Marshal GERARD appears 15 have stated that, fairly defended, the Citadel Fi ght hold out six weeks, whilst some of his Itaffimagine that it will surrender in a fortnight. I he last siege has been referred to by others, 11, 0 think that even more than six weeks will e required ; but it should be remembered that 0t that time the town, as well as the Citadel, ' ' a3 in the hands of the besieged, who had, be -Ides, a much more numerous garrison than that 01 v under the orders of CHASSE. Should e garrison, however, hold out only a month, utile eventful changes may take place within that ?etlod in the politics of Europe ; and as time is every thing with the King of HOLLAND, there : 44 be no d ou bt, th a t if he be faithfully serv e d Y his troops in the Citadel, the resistance will de an obstinate one. CHASSE has declared, that is long as he has men enough to man his guns, e will not surrender, and, it seems, that there is ' 0 reason for supposing that the officers who e With him are at all less zealous than himself ; I t in order to prevent the effusion of blood, at '4opts have been made to induce many of them ') quit the garrison, and so compel CHASSE to urrender; but every offer has been indignantly tjected. The Russian and Prussian Plenipo. ,"titiaries at our Court continue to declare, 1 1 a t so l ong as t h e F renc h a dh ere to ," l e conditions on which they were allowed 4 enter Belgium, no assistance will be liven to the King of HOLLAND ; but many things may occur in the course of ,:'t sie ge to create an excuse for interference h en the siege shall have commenced in good l a mest, it will be impossible to say what may the result of it. Our own Cabinet is much 'lsaPpointed already at the turn which things '4° e tak en , f or it w a s not believed by Lord i, 4 LMERsToN that the King of HOLLAND '°ll ld have been so obstinate. 'lnce the above was written, the summons Marshal GERARD has been received, and 41 be seen in another part of our paper. It is temperate and well-written document. The Marshal founds his summons entirely on the 'aty of the 15th of November, and affords the U tch Commander every possible opportunity treating 'with him ; indeed, nothing but the b4 t peremptory orders from the Dutch Govern 211t could excuse any refusal, on the part of 448 sE, to enter on preliminary negotiations. he summons was delivered on Friday, and an i~ o t lr afterw ar d s , th e c it a d e l b ega n firing ; but it es p t h not appear, f r om any certain information, t it had been retu rne d by the French up to b ur daY. CHASSE had positively refused to Ile et Y th e summons , an d hi s answer res pecting lii ,_P • roosed neutrality of the town was most .4tisfactory. er3 osiderable gloom has been thrown over the )ends of Don PEDRO by the last accounts from , Por to, and the non-arriv a l o f f ur th er informa :3° by the Confiance steamer. It must be con .BBed) ind ee d, t h at t h e appearance o f t hi ngs i s 110 means cheering, but there is yet no ground r• despair. Don PEDRO has 15,000 good ° Ps, without reckoning the volunteers of P o rto, and he has provisi o n s f or a muc h l onger 'l3ekade than MIGUEL can maintain, if corn 'on skill be shown in the means adopted to it. In desperate circumstances men kve recourse to desperate measures, and as e ery sortie hitherto made on a small scale has l ien attended with successful resu l ts, an d w i th loss of life on the part of the besiegers far "ttater than that sustained by the besieged, it is c reasonable to suppose that a general sortie, ,4tier such dashing Officers as Sir JOHN MrL .l7 DOYLE, Colonel BACON, and the Portu guese Commanders, who have eminently distin guished themselves by their conduct during the siege, would be productive of very fa vourable consequences to the Constitutional cause. The most important point at present, however, is, the destruction of the Miguelite battery, which commands the Douro, and ef fectually prevents the arrival of succours by sea, it being almost impossible at this season of the year, to effect a landing on the coast. At the date of the last accounts the Pedroites were erecting a battery on Monta da Rabia, an elevation almost opposite the Miguelite bat tery ; and, if able to complete it, the Pedroites will not be long in silencing the enemy, and re-opening the communication with the sea. But, supposing even that the blockade on that side should be continued, and that PEDRO, driven to desperate measures, should be com pelled to evacuate Oporto, might he not, with 15,000 good troops march upon Coimbra, where he is known to have a large party, and dash on to Lisbon, which he would be able to reach without fear of the batteries, being out of their reach, whilst the enemy should in vain attack him in the rear ? The objection to this plan, is, that PEDRO might be taken between two fires ; but, on the other hand, it should be observed that as he moves forward his force will be increased. The Paris papers of Friday and Saturday do not contain much news. The debate on the address had not terminated ; but an amendment, conveying a vote of censure. on Ministers, for the siege of Paris, was lost by a large majority. The Austrian Minister was exerting him self greatly to settle the Belgian question amicably, but little hopes were entertained unless the citadel were first urrendered Count OFFALIA was recalled from Paris to Madrid, to fill the post of Minister of the In terior, in addition to that of Prime Minister The other news from Spain was contradictory. VALENcIENNEs, Nov. 28.—1 t is not troops but money that now passes through this city ; the regiments are suc. ceeded by millions which the Government sends for the pay of the troops, and for the payment of the articles fur- nished by the Belgians. The L'ourrier Francais says-" The siege will not begin before the 29th or 30th, if matters should come so far ; but it is said that Austria has offered its mediation. so that diplomacy will do what force hesitates to undertake."

Dutch papers of the Ist instant breathe no- thing but war, and a determination on the part of Gen. CHASSE to defend the citadel to the last. It appears that the news of the convention be tween France and England has created as great a sensation at St. Petersburgh as at Vienna and Berlin. Indeed so much was it felt, that a declaration (of war ?) was expected to appear on the subject. We shall be more pleased than surprised if it appears. Troops were in motion for the south. Rus sia will by and by place her political conduct in such a light for consistency as even to shock the Ultra-Tories, if that be possible : THE HAGUE, Nov. 29.—Accounts from Liefkenehock of the 25th and 26th say that nothing particular had passed since the 24th, except that some of the enemy's pa trols had shown themselves. The breach in the dike con- tinued to become wider, so that it will not be easy for the French or the Belgians to stop it up. Most of the women had left the fort. Letters from Breda of the 27th say :—" The French troops on our frontiers daily make patrols along them, and, probably from not being acquainted with the different posts, marking the limit s , h ave somet i mes passed them ; for instance, yesterday and the day before, near where the troops in Belgian Pretten made a reconnoissance towards Dutch Pretten, half a league into our territory, rein forcements have been sent to the limit between the two villages for fear of a sudden surprise. A few days ago the Patrols of both parties in a reconnaissance on the frontier, spoke to each other. Six of our military advanced boldly to the others who amounted to twenty men. Measures have been taken to prevent such encounters. In the citadel of Antwerp, continued exertions are making to increase the means of defence. The greater part of the fortress is now bomb proof, and a ravelin has lately been occupied which lies close to the citadel, and had hitherto remained unoccupied. The wooden cross of the sheds that were erected to cover troops or effects, have been removed to prevent accidents by fire. The garrison, which his been for some days in the quarters that are bomb proof, is full of courage and determination to do its duty; and heartily wishes to show, on the spot of ground confided to it, that the sons of Holland have not degenerated from their ancestors. Most of those absent on furlough (about 100 in number) returned to the citadel on Friday last, in the passage-boat from Rotter dam. From the citadel they can see, every day, many French soldiers in Fort Montebello, and a great many, especially officers, in the city. THE HAGUE, Nov. 29.—Accounts from Breskens, of the 26th, say that the Belgian General, Niellon, with all the troops at his disposal, consisting of civic guards, and five batallions of different regiments, had advanced to the frontier of the fourth district of Zealand. He had about 6.000 men, with sixteen pieces of cannon, viz., 2,000 at Eacloo, and 4,000 at Waarinhort. This movement seemed to be carved by unfounded reports that were in circulation of hostilities between our troops and the Bel gians at Maldaghem. Bors.LE-Doc, Nov. 29.—The cantonments of the French troops on our frontiers received great reinforce. li ments the day before yesterday. Thus Hoogstraten, which bad been occupied only by some Belgian gendarmes, is now garrisoned by a regiment of French cavalry and some other troops. TITS HAGUE, Nov. 30.—1 n the sitting of the Second Chamber of the States General to-day, a Royal message was received, with a new project of law for the excise on sugar, and some reports from the Committee of petitions were read. The Governor of South Holland has issued a pro clamation relative to the Landstrum. Accounts from St. Petersburgh of the 14th say that the ice on the Neva began to drift in the night of the 11th, so that it had been necessary to remove the bridges. The Warsaw Courier says, that in Consequence of the reports in foreign journals of the assembling of Russian troops in Poland, it is authorized to declare that the only movements among the Russian troops have been the assembling of a corps for the autumnal reviews, and the return of the regiments to their quarters, and also a change in the garrison of Warsaw. An account from the Polish frontiers of Nov. 13, says, " The news of the convention between France and Eng land, as we hear from St. Petersburgh, has made a great, and by no means favourable impression in that city ; and it was expected that a declaration on the subject would appeal in the Journal of St. Petersburgh, as the organ of Govern ment. There is also a report of movements of troops in the interior of the empire, in consequence of this event, the object of which is to collect a large force on the western frontiers." AMSTERDAM, Nov. 29. —The two last remaining cho lera patients recovered to-day. From the beginning of the VIENNA, Nov. 21.—A courier from Paris arrived this morning ; he brings no news relative to the movements of the army of the North. The merchants here generally believe that the wing against Antwerp will certainly move on the 15th. An Austrian courier has been sent to Berlin, probably on account of the movements of the Prussian troops. Ana_ ther courier has been despatched to Italy. In all the Govern ment offices here, and among the diplomatic corps, every body is most actively engaged. In Italy all is tranquil; and the affairs of the Roman States appear likely to be soon brought to a happy issue. As the arrangements respecting Cracow are completed, the negotiations on the future Constitution of that little republic are closed; and commissioners from the three protecting Powers, will shortly repair to Cracow, to carry the arrangements into effect. BERLIN, Nov. 23.—The levity (to say no more) . with which in our times political principles are created and assisted, cannot be more strongly painted than by the flagrant proceed ings now taking place in the Netherlands, The very same party that but lately did its utmost to proclaim and assert the principle of non-intervention, now intervenes in the most violent manner. Granting that the French Administration has since been changed, yet the Government is still the same as it was two years ago; and what stability in foreign relations can be expected when all is so subject to change ? Is the present expedition necessary for the interest of France? Nobody be. I ieves this. A short time ago it was said " French blood must not be spilt except fbr France." Suppose the soldiers led to storm Antwerp should recollect this ! It might be difficult to make plain common sense understand what national interest is concerned in this affair. In fact, the present poli tical crisis differs from many former ones, in the extraor dinary preponderance of the absurd and senseless. If a gradual advance in a false direction should lead in the end to a Euro pean war, who has wished for it ? No party will take the blame on itself; for we believe that the wish to preserve peace preponderates in all the Cabinets—the French included. We are impatient for the next accounts from the Nether lands ; all hope for Antwerp is not lost, as negotiations are still going on; but the advance of the French troops brings the danger ofdestruction nearer to that unhappy city every day. Never was there such a high degree of political excitement here ; we have from all quarters innumerable plans, projects, &c. respect ing what Prussia is doing, or may do, or will do, or ought to have done. The assembling of a Prussian army on the Meuse, makes a great impression the public, and revives many dormant feelings. A military attitude suits our country the best. The number of troops is stated very differently : the Landwehr however is not summoned. It is said that Lieut.- General Grollman will have a command on the Rhine, and that the Generals commanding that will have very positive in structions. AUSTRIAN FUNDS. VIENNA, Nov. 21. Nov. 22.

STUTTGARD, Nov. 24.—The Swabian Mercury asserts that an army of observation of troops of the Confederation is going to be assembled on the Upper Rhine. It will be the Bth corps formed of the contingents of Hesse Darmstadt, Baden, and Wurternburg. This measure is said to be in consequence of the concentration of French troops about Strasburg.— Journalde FranAfort, Nov. 26. At the Dublin National Political Union, on Thursday last, Mr. SHELL made his appear ance for the first time as an uncompromising Repealer. He made a long speech on the sub ject, which we have no space to give to-day; we roust therefore reserve it for to-morrow. The eyes of the whole country will now be ,urned especially on the smaller boroughs, and hose constituencies in Schedule B, and the lewly enfranchised places which return one Member only. There no compromises—no local party spirit—can justify a wrong selection of Candidates. When the Reformer and the Anti-Reformer stand in juxtaposition, there can be no possible excuse for refusing full and energetic aid to the former. We are well aware that in boroughs possessing a limited number of electors, corruption will show a bolder and more brazen front ; but terror, treating, and bribery must be there more undauntedly and thoroughly met and exposed. The Lawyers, the Parsons, the " Justices," will, as usual, be active parti sans of the Tory Candidate; but the honest and independent electors will be more than a match for them, and we fear not the result ; the people must, however, display that energy and moral determination which so eminently distinguished the memorable general election of 1831. The country newspapers gave us last week ample proofs that the Conservatives are at their dirty work, armed with their old poisoned arrows and missiles for the fight. We extract from the Birmingham Journal the following notice of the approaching contest at Dudley, a newly en franchised borough, in the great Midland and manufacturing district : " The cause of independence and of Mr. Campbell, the Soli. citor-General, and popular candidate for this borough, is tri umphant. A very large majority of stanch promises —not withstanding the bold and impudent vaunts of the Tories—will secure Mr. Campbell's return. His adversaries, as usual, are resorting to rumours and weak inventions. We doubt not that they will use their utmost exertions to deceive, intimidate, and corrupt. The old beastly trick of `treating' is resorted to, among other devices ; but it will avail them not. They prosti. tute partial selections from the works of Bishop Hall and Paley, to justify the electors in breaking promises.' This shows their desperation and despair, and exhibits their real respect for the Church and its illustrious dignitaries. They endeavour to create a prejudice against Mr. Campbell, in his acceptance of the office of Solicitor.Oeneral under a Liberal Administration. Tories, forsooth, to object to official men as Representatives! Tories, who always heretofore considered a placeman, a sine curist, a public plunderer, as possessing a passport to their fa vour ! Mr. Campbell, we understand, is coming down next week, and the Dudley poll will expose the vain assertions and useless opposition of the Conservatives and Tories. Sir Horace St. Paul may return to Bridport, if that borough election be not concluded before his defeat." Wherever the constituency does not exceed six or seven hundred electors, corruption rears her hydra head. In Birmingham, Leeds, Man chester, who ever presumed to treat, would be driven from the poll with contumely and dis grace. Are the Members of the Reformed House of Commons to represent the kitchens and beer-barrels of the public-houses, or are they to reflect, and realise the opinions of honest and enlightened electors ? In the instance of this contest—in Dudley—who are the Candi. dates ? Sir HORACE Sr. PAUL is a thorough paced Tory, who opposed the Reform Bills in every stage, and who is expunged from his old representation of Bridport by the honoured name of ROMILLY. Will the electors of Dudley — distinguished for their consistent and energetic meetings in favour of Reform—put up with the cast-off corruption of Bridport ? And who is Mr. CAMPBELL (now, we presume, SirJOHN CAMPBELL), the popular Candidate ? He is a consistent and tried Reformer ; an advocate who has raised himself, by his own talents and perse verance, to the heights of the legal profession— the head of the Real Property Law Reform Commission, and called to an honourable official situation purely by the force of his personal and professional merit. Can the Dudley electors pause in their selectiOn from two such Candi dates ? We are confident that the poll will re- On Friday, the 231 ult., at eight, A.M., the Itraterwitch weighed anchor and beat out of Fal mouth harbour, with a strong breeze at S.S.W., under double reefed topsails, foresail, jib, and fore arid aft mainsails; shortened sail outside of the harbour, arid waited about an hour for Pantaloon's jlining.. At 10, A.M., bore down close on the Pantaloon's weather quarter ; at 11h. 15m., ds tance short half mile, hearing E.N.E., hauled to the wind on the starboard tack, with courses and top gallant sails set, with a strong breeze at S.S.W. and a heavy sea. In four hours arid three quarters, on making three tacks, heat Pantaloon dead five miles to windward. The Waterwitek could hav e weathered the Lizard, when Pantaloon could only fetch a little to windward of the Black Head.

Mr. Sheil has relapsed into his evil courses. This splendid orator, author, dramatist, King's Counsel, and Member of Parliament, yesterday made his first appear ance for the season at the Ould Association Rooms, Burgh-quay. The adhesion of a man who owns a car riage, wears a silk gown, and franks letters to such a Jacobinical Society, was a perfect Godsend; and his presence was therefore hailed with deafening cheers. He delivered a speech which he has fully reported, and which probably, if you can spare space enough, you may comment on. You will perceive he is an out-and-out repealer, and rivals the great demagogue in his abuse of the Government. Various reasons are assigned for this gentleman's re newed violence. Shortly after the passing of the Relief Bill he abondoned his old associates, and frequently, I be lieve, expressed his delight at getting rid of their contami nating companionship. He visited at the Castle, was in vited to the private parties of the Tory Duke of Northum berland and his Secretary, Sir Henry Hardinge, found favour in the eyes of a buxom widow with a splendid jointure, and ultimately was promoted to be King's Conti sel. I shall never forget his first appearance in Banco after this event. O'Connell was standing in his old stuff gown as a traverser for his participation in his seditious and anti proclamation breakfasts. The Court was greatly , crowded. The Sergeants, and other Crown lawyers, gra dually took their places in the inner bar, a loud rustling noise was at length beard, and the new K.C. appeared forcing'his way thorough the crowd, in his new robe de sole. The instant his quondam leader espied him, he exclaimed in his own peculiarly bitter and sarcastic manner, "Make way there for a Ring's Counsel ! Don't ye see its a King's Counsel." The Court smiled, while Sheil, evi dently smarting, took his seat beside the Solicitor-General. O'Connell gave a knowing wink to an old associate in the gallery, as much as to say, " Didn't I do that well ?" Since that period the rhetorical artificer has withstood all entreaties to join his country's disturbers. In possession of an independent fortune, and rank at the bar fully equal to his professional knowledge, it was imagined he would have added the weight of his influence to the Government party ; but whether apprehensive of the payment of his rents in jure uxoris—or dreading the loss of a seat in Parliament—or dazzed with the hope lately expressed by O'Connell of marching in procession with the other Irish Members from High Mass to the Parliament House in College-green, I cannot say. His lucid interval of loyalty has vanished, and " Richard's himsed again." A highly respectable meeting of the leading commercial citizens was held yestersday at the Commercial-buildings, at which re solutions were passed, pledging themselves to support Sergeant Perrin for the city. 1 believe there is no doubt of the Learned Sergeant's success, and it is very propable Mr. O'Connell will be elected with him. As for Scott 'tis all humbug. Daniel, in obedience to the will of the Trade, has abandoned him, and the Orangemen have ex pelled him from their body. So much for the junction of the rival colours. HOLE AND CORNER MEETING OF THE TORIES, AGAINST THE FULFILMENT OF THE TREATY BETWEEN BELGIUM AND HOLLAND. (From the Glasgow Chronicle.) The Anti-Reformers having advertised a public meeting in the Black Bull Hall, at which Is. was to be charged for admission, for the purpose of expressing disapproba tion of the measures which have been adopted for the fulfilment of the treaty respecting Belgium and Holland, and for addressing his Majesty on the subject, a meet ing was held yesterday afternoon in the Black Bull Inn, when upwards of 100 Reformers attended. After a dis. cession on the terms of the advertisement, which left it doubtful whether any one but those against the Ministry could claim admittance, it was agreed, with four or five dissentients, that the Reform party should attend the meeting and propose an adjournment. To-day, as early as 1 o'clock, a great number of gentlemen were in at tendance at the Black Bull, anxious for admittance into the great hall, where the meeting was advertised to be held. An attempt was made by several gentlemen to make their way into the hall, which was forcibly re sisted, even though they tendered their shilling, and they were told that it was a " private" meeting of gentlemen, which they might call a hole-and-corner meeting if they chose. The gentlemen who were pre vented from entering, instantly formed themselves into a meeting in another room, and appointed a chairman, when it was agreed that J. Oswald, Colin Dunlop, John Douglas, James Mylne, J. Wallace, J. Ure, J. Crawford, and J. Strang, should be sent as a deputation. The de putation went and put the question to the doorkeepers—if they would he allowed to enter the hall if they paid their shilling. Their answer was, " decidedly not." They were then asked if they were authorized to prevent them. They said they were. One gentleman stated that he had paid his shilling, but asking him if he was favourable to their views of the question, he said he came to hear and judge. They then said he could net. The deputation re turned and reported, and Sir D. K. Sandford moved, se conded by Mr. John Douglas, that a requisition should be signed on the spot, and presented to the Lord Provost, to call a public meeting of the citizens, to consider the pro priety of expressing their abhorrence of the shameful at tempt at deception practised by the individuals who had called the meeting of this day, and at the same time to express their confidence in his Majesty's Ministers. By 3 o'clock upwards of 500 names had been appended to the requisition, and crowds were still pressing forward to sign. After a desperate struggle, the liberal party were pushed back by brute force, which they could have re pelled by their little fingers if they wished, and the Tories were left masters of the field. The Tory leaders stood by the porters, and pointed out the gentlemen whom they were to "admit, and whom they were to exclude; every man of known liberal sentiments who made his appear ance was compelled to retire. Among others who ap peared at the door were Sir D. K. Sandford and Mr. John Douglas. At two o'clock, on the motion of Convener M`LELLaw, HENRY MONTEITH, E•q., of Carstars, took the chair. Mr. MONTEITH opened the business, and deprecated war with Holl an d as unjust and unnecessary, and ruinous to this country. The first resolution, that the preservation of peace is of the utmost importance to the British nation, so long as it is consistent with its honour and independence, was moved by Mr. Bucira NAN, of Dowanhill, and seconded by Mr. JAMES M'CALL, of Daldowie. Mr. Sitinr, of Jordanhill, moved, that they viewed with astonishment an d a l arm t h e war o f aggr essio n, in conjunction w i t h France, against our old ally the King of the Netherlands. Mr. R. FINDLAY moved the address ; and in the course of his speech disclaimed all intention of embarrassing the Ministry ; but they bad brought themselves to the brink of a precipice, and it was the duty of the country to warn them of their danger. Mr. A. GARDEN moved that the address be presented by the Duke of Buccleuch, which was seconded by Mr. C, STIALINQ, ARRIVALS OF GRAIN IN LONDON DURING LAST WEER.

Last week there was a moderate arrival of both Grain and Flour, and the trade, for most articles, manifested some indica tions of improvement in prices. This morning there has been a fair supply of Wheat, Barley, and Beans, and some Oats from Ireland. In the early part of theday the millers select ed the finest samples of 'Wheat at rather higher prices than last Monday ; but after the post came in the market became very dull, and no higher prices than last quoted could be obtained. Barley of prime quality was taken off readily at last quotations; other kinds were very dull and rather cheaper. Beans are dull, and hardly maintain last week's terms. Pease of both kinds are un altered. Oats of good quality meet a fair trade at the rates of this day se'nuight, but such parcels are not so lively. The mil lers and flour factors have not yet cordially agreed to 555. being the top price for Flour. PRICES ON BOARD OF SHIP.

Madras papers to the Bth of July, Canton to the Sth of May, Quebec to the 3d of November, and Launceston, Van Die. men's Land, to the 4th of July, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. (From the Madras Papers.) From Malacca the accounts do not give so favourable a re port of the proceedings of the expedition as we could wish. We have been favoured with a letter from Aler Gaja, which states that, at the commencement of the expedition, the force sent there was thought sufficient to quell the rebellious spirit ; but, we regret to say, has proved inadequate to accomplish the object. We have been victorious in all our contests, with the exception of Thompson's affair, in which 28 of his men were killed, by a concealed stockade. We are now at Aler Gaja, sixteen miles from Malacca, acting upon the defensive until the arrival of more force. (From the Launceston Papers.) Our markets are, upon the whole, rather favourable to the agriculturists. This week Grain is far from being plentiful, and seems upon the advance a little. The average price of Wheat from ss. 6d. to 6s. ; English Barley in demand at 6s. 6d. to 7s. ; Oats 6s. ; Butcher's meat—Mutton, 53. to 5 j ,zl. per lb. ; Beef, more plentiful, 6d. to 6 14d. ; and Pork Bd. per lb. OPIUM.—The deliveries in the last month amount to 1,387 chests. Most of the time engagements for Malva have been cleared off, but the market is still languid ; the new Patna has declined to 8,568, in small sales ; new Benaires are uite out of request. THE FUNDS. A Lisbon mail has arrived, which sailed on the 22d Nov. ; also a Malta mail, which left on the 12th Nov., from Gibraltar 22d Nov., and from Cadiz, 2 - 2 d Nov. The news by the for mer mail is already anticipated in the Morning Journals; but the most important arrival is by the Dutch and Flanders mail, of hostilities having commenced at the citadel of Antwerp on Friday. The public are now anxious to ascertain if the Dutch army, under the Prince of Orange, will come to the assistance of General Chasse. Should this be the case, it will prove a most important crisis. A few days will determine this paint. Consols which left off on Saturday 83%, sellers, opened at 83% to ►( ; since which they have receded to 83 for the Account. HALF-PAST ONE. The expresses from Antwerp and Brussels with the opera. tions for the siege of the citadel have caused the most lively sen sation in the city, and the summons of General Gerard, in general is acknowledged to be a mild and gentlemanlike document. It is expected that Chasse will not fire on the town of Antwerp. There is still a prevailing opinion that ne. gotiations are still going on at the Hague, for an accommoda. tion to prevent further bloodshed. Up to the present time we have no confirmation of the sortie made by the troops of Don Pedro to destroy the Miguelite batteries at the entrance of the river. Consols, which were in the early part of the morning at lg for the Account, got up to 83M, owing to a purchase of 100,000 ; at present they are 83 1 ,E sellers. In the Foreign Market Spanish Stock has been the chief speculation; it has been done at 17%, at present 17 THREE O'CLOCK. _ Camels for Account, 831. CLOSING PRICES.

'2.9, 1832. " GENTLEMEN,—I am directed by Viscount Pahnerston to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of this day's date, and to state to you in reply, that a communication has been ie ceived from his Majesty's Consul at Oporto, by which it ap pears that the General commanding the forces of Don Miguel, has announced his determination to resist by means cf land batteries which he has erected, the passage of all foreign mer chant vessels into or out of the Douro, but Lord Palmerston has at present no means of judging whether this measure will prove to be an effectual blockade, or if so, what will be its pro bable duration. " GEORGE SHEE. (Signed) To Messrs- Quarlis, Harris, and Sons." LIMERICK -MR. MOORE. At a meeting of the Political Union of this city, on Monday night—Mr. Patrick W. Creagh, in the chair—the following letter was read from Mr. Thomas Moore : Sloperton Cottage, Nov. 8, 1832. Gentlemen,—l hare to acknowledge, with every feeling of respect and gratitude, the requisition so numerously signed, which I have this day had the honour of receiving from you. Already had I been, in a great degree, prepared for such a call by a correspondence in which I have been engaged with one ,if your fellow-citizens, and which, though but preliminary to the decisive step which has now been taken, had put me fully in possession of the kind feelings entertained towards me by the greater portion of the enlightened electors of your city. To know that even a thought of selecting me for their re presentative had once entered into the contemplation of per. sons like yourselves, so well qualified by a jealous sense of the value of liberty, to judge of the requisites of those to whom sych a trust should be confided—would in itself, have been a : source of pride and gratification to my mind. You may jUdge, therefore, what are my feelings on receiving so signal a pi-oof, both in the cordial and unsought requisition which has this morning reached me, and in those further proceedings which, as I understand, you meditate, that the honuur you did me, in selecting my name from among the many offered to you, was no light or transient compliment, but that you de liberately think me worthy of being the representative of your interests in the great crisis, as well for England as for Ireland, which is now api.roaching. " But, gentlemen, rarely in this life can so high and bright a position as that in which you offer now places me, be enjoyed without its opposing shadow ; and in proportion to the plea sure, the triumph, which I cannot but feel at this manifesta tion of your opinion —placing as it does within my reach, a post of honour, which I have so often, in the ambition of my young days, sighed for, in proportion to my deep and thorough sense of the distinction you would thus confer upon me, as the pain with which lam compelled reluctantly to declare that I can. not accept of it. The truth, plainly told, is that my eircum ,tances render such an appropriation of my time impossible— not even for a single session, could I devote myself to the du ties of Parliament, without considerable embarrassment. To the labour of the day, in short, am I indebted for my daily sup_ port; and though it is by being content with this lot that I have been able to preserve that independence of mind, which has now so honourably, and, I may be allowed to boast, in so many quarters, won for me the confidence of my fellow-countrymen, it is not the less an insuperable impediment to my acceptance of the high honour you offer me. I am not unaware, as I have already intimated, that in your strong and generous desire to remove this only obstacle which you know opposed itself to my compliance with your wishes, you have set on foot a national subscription, for the purpose, as you yourselves express it, of providing me with the qualifica. tion necessary for Members of the House of Commons. This proof of your earnestness in the cause, I feel, both on public and private grounds, most sensibly. But however of honourable l in might i a d m ee e m n t , s such h s e a e g o i b ft j ec a t i ft o e n r s t t h o e i pe t , r u f . o h r i m c h a n c toe me are insurmountable. Were I obliged to choose which ' should be my direct pay-master, the Government or the people, I should say, without hesitation, the people ! but I prefer holding on my free course, humble as it is, unpur chased by either; nor shall I the less continue as far as my limited sphere of action extends, to devote such powers as God has gifted me with, to that cause which has always been uppermost in my heart, which was my first inspiration and shall be my last—the cause of Irish freedom. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, your faithful and devoted servant, THOMAS MOORE. BRIGHTON, DEC. 2.
