THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY,OC ABDICATION OF THE KING OFrUNEBAL OF THE LATE PRIN.I HOLLAND. CESS AUGUSTA. - We have received, by extraordinary express fronl Brussels, the important news of the abdication of the • King of Holland. Our Correspondent writes—" I hasten to communi cate to you the most important news just received I)) the Amsterdam papers of Wednesday afternoon, that his Majesty, before setting out the day before from the Hague, for the Castle of Loo, announced to his Ministers his intention of abdicating. In 4 few days a proclamation will be issued, by which his!, Majesty will inform his subjects of his resolution. 1.0 am enabled to assure you, from private letters I have received this moment from Holland, that this news has an official character. The King made known his resolution to some ot' his Ministers before departure for the chateau of Loo. The Handelsblad makes the same announcement, and adds that' " the King went to Loo with Baron Pagel, one of his oldest friends, who had recently arrived from Paris, where he had performed the functions of Minister Plenipotentiary. The Dutch papers do not even hint at the causes which have led to this determination on the part of the King ;, but it is thought in Brusse ls that he has descended froml his high estate solely to accomplish in private life the, union with an amiable lady of hii Court which met so much opposition when first announced to the Dutch people about a twelvemonth ago. The remains of her ►late Royal Highness the Princess" Augusta lay in State from eleven till four o'clock yester -Iday, at Frogmcre. The apartment in which the mournful solemnity took' ,place was hung and lined with black, the sides lighted: with nbmerous silver sconces, cont ainin g wax-lights in 'double rows, an escoeheon of her late Royal Highness':, coat of arms being placed between each row. The coffin was uncovered at the end, displaying the crimson velvet and gilt ornaments, and at the top of the Coen was placed the coronet of the late Princess, on a i eusbion trimmed with gold. Three massive and very t hane some gold candlesticks were p laced. on each side of !the body, containing I..rge wax candles, and on the wall inearest the coffin was a hatchment of the Royal Arms. At eleven o'clock, when the public were admitted, Lady Mary Pelham, the Lady-in- Waiting to the late'; Princess Augusta, sat at the head of the Body as Chief Mourner, and on either side stood Miss Wynyord, Bed ' chamber Woman to her late Royal Highness, and Lady Caroline Legge, Lady of the Bedchamber to the Duchess of Gloucester. Robert Laurie, Esq., Windsor Herald, and James • Pulman, Esq., Richmond Herald, stood at the foot of the coffin, wearing their splendid tabards, over which ;they wore scarfs of crape. At twelve o'clock the Ladies were relieved by Lady, Carteret, Miss Vyse, and Lady Georgians Bathurst ;' land the H. , ralds by Francis Martin , Esq., Norroy Kine.'

This document was officially communicated to the French Government, and subsequently printed and transmitted ,to the allied Courts. Our correspondent at Brussels ,sends us the following copy of the original in English, which we lay before our readers : Foreign-Office, August 31, 1840. Sre—Various circumstances have prevented me from iooner transmitting to you, and through you to the French Government, some observations which her Ma ,jesty's Government is desirous of making upon the Ine- Imorandurn delivered to me on the 24th of July by the French Ambassador at this Court, in reply to the me morandum which I had delivered to his Excellency on the 17th of that month ; but I now proceed to do so. Her Majesty's Government observed, with great satisfaction, the friendly tone of the French mernoran dam, and of the assurances which it contains of the 'Jar-nest desire of France to maintain peace, and to up- nold the balance of power in Europe. The memoran dum of July 17 was conceived in a spirit of equal friendliness towards France ; and her Majesty's Go vernment is as anxious as that of France can be to preserve the peace of Europe, and to prevent any de rangement of the existing balance of power. Her Majesty's Government also saw with much pleasure the declarations which the French memoran dum contains, that France wishes to act in concert eith the other Four Powers in regard to the affairs of 'he Levant ; that she has never been actuated in these matters by any other motive than a desire to preserve ecace ; and that in the judgment she has formed upon 1.110 propositions which have been made to her, she has never been influenced by any selfish interests of her own, being in fact as disinterested as any other power can be in the affairs of the Levant. The sentiments of her Majesty's Government upon these points are in all respects similar to, and corre sponding with, those of the Government of France. For, in the first place, in the whole course of the nego tiations which have been going on upon these matters during more than twelve months, it has invariably been the anxious desire of. the British Government that a concert should be established between the Five Powers, Ind that all the five should agree in a common course of conduct; and her Majesty's Government feels that it can. refer for proofs of this 'desire to the various propositions which from time to time have bee n made to the Govern- Intent of France, and which are alluded to in the French (memorandum ; and, in the next place, her Majesty's !Government can safely affirm that no power in Europe can be less influenced than Great Britain is by any selfish views, or by any desire or expectation of exclusive ad vantage to arise to herself out of the settlement of the affairs of the Levant ; for, on the contrary, the interest of Great Britain in those affairs is identified with that of l'.etroree at large, and lies in the maintenance of the in itegrity and independence of the Ottoman empire, as a !security for the preservation of peace, and as an essential !element in the general balance' of power. In these principles the French Government has de clared its full concurrence ; and it has stated that con cerrence upon many occasions, but especially in Mar lbel Sou,lt's despatch of the 17 th of July. 1839, which was communicated officially to the Four Powers, in the collective note of the 27th of July, 1839, and in the r.. of French his Chambers, !speech of the King the to his in December, 1839. In these documents the French Government declared its determination to maintain the integrity and inde pendence of the Ottoman empire under its present dy nasty, as an essential element of the balance of power, and as a security for the preservation of peace ; and it is also asserted in Marshal Soult's despatch, its resolu tion to oppose, by all its means of action and influence, 'every combination which might be hostile to the main tenance of that integrity and independence. The Governments of Great Britain and of France are, therefore, perfectly agreed as to the objects at which [their policy in regard to the affairs of the Levant ought Ito aim, and as to the fundamental principles by which ghat policy ought to be guided ; and the only difference Iwhich exists between the two Governments, is a differ ence of opinion as to what means are best calculated to attain the common end,-, 7 -a point upon which, a s the French' Memorandum' 'obiervess various opinions may I na turally be expected to exist. . .. Upon this point there has, indeed, arisen a consider labla difference of opinion between the two Geyer n 'Ments—a 'difference which seems to have become wider Ind more confirmed in prOportion as the two Govern ments.have more fully explained their respective views, Ind which, for the present, has prevented the two Go eernments from co-operating together for the attainment of their common object. On the one hand, her Majesty's Government has all .11,.)ng declared the opinion that it would be impossible to [ Maintain the integrity of the Turkish empire, and to up lhold the independence of the Sultan's throne, if Mehe- Syria to i l n i e , t ).i c A s t l y i , w s G e r o e \ t e o r n b in c e n leftt hasin t s li t e a t o :d e tut: ittio ne considers i S d y e r r i s a S . be the military key of Asiatic Turkey ; and that if Mehe met Ali were to continue to occupy that province, in addition to Egypt, lie would be able at all times to me nace Bagdad to the south, Diarbekir and Erzeroum to the east, and KOnitib, and Russia, and Constantinople Ito the nort h that-the - same-spirit of ambition which has' led Mehemet' :Ali ,on former.oceasions to'r - e'irOlt ' .tguinst .his. Sovereign would soon prompt him again to takeup arms for further 'encroachment ; and . that for this purpose he would always keep a large irmy on foot ; that the Sultan, on the other hand, ,nti,t see the danger by which he would constactly be threatened, and must be obliged also to remain umed ; that thus the Sultan and Mehemet All would !ontinue to maintain large armies to watch each other ; 'hat collision must inevitably arise out of mutual sus oicion and alarm, even if there were no intentional ag- Jession on either side ; that any such collision would ne 'eessarily lead to foreign interference in the interior of the Turkish empire, and that such . interference so occa ,sioned would produce the most serious differences be wieen the Powers of Europe. But her Majesty's Government has pointed out a .anger still greater than this, as a probable, if not cer tain consequence of the continued occupation of Syria )y Mehemet Ali ; and that is, that the Pacha, coafid-i i n g in his military strength, and tired of his political eon- I lition of subject, should execute the intention which fie frankly informed the Powers of Europe two years ego , be would never abandon, and.should declare him ,elf independent. Such a declaration on his part would !,e an undeniable dismemberment of the Ottoman em pire ; and yet that dismemberment might happen un- ler circumstances which would render it more difficult !'or the Powers of Europe to co-operate together in or- ler to compel the Paella to retract such a declaration, than it is for them now to combine in order to force aim to evacuate Syria. ll con t e nded that all th ose Powers who wish to preserve y theinertesgli;jtyesot's Gov ern ment, therefore, has invariably of the Turkish empire, and to uphold the independence of the Sultan's throne, ought to unite to 1 assist the Sultan in re-establishing his direct authority in Syria. The French Government, on the other hand, has argued that Mehemet Ali, if once secured in the per , rnanent occupation of Egypt and Syria, would remain the faithful subject, and would become the firmest sup porter of the Sultan. That the Sultan could not go. ivern Syria if be got it back a gain, and that the military 'and financial resources of that province would be more available for the Sultan's defence when in the hands of to n of d ev oted Mehemet Ali than if they were restored to t he bands of the Sultans himself; that implicit reliance might be Alih'sisabpjurortaetisotans i of s any further aplmabceitdiouuspovniev‘ll,.lse,het in and em fidelity to his sovereign ; that the Pacha is an old man, land that at his deat h, in s p ite of any hereditary !grant made to 'his family, the whole of his acquired poiver would revert to the Sultan, because all posses sions in Alahometan c ountries, be their nominal te• Inure what it mai. are practically nothing more than Lfeholds. i vernmeet, moreove r - i The French Ge e his , conlentled that , Mehemet Art would never of oivn accor d consent to 'evacuate Syria ; and that . the only means which the Powers of Europe eensa employ to compel him, would 'be either naval operations, whi c h wou ld b e insufficient, n or land operatic) . os , which would b e d not dangerous ; that 'naval operations would expel th e Egyptians from Syria,would and only provoke M e h emet Ali to make ; 'ail a ttack upon Constantinople and that the mea sures h e resorted town such a case to defend the which must i capital , bu t still more any land operations by troops to of the Allied Powers Gentlemen invited.

Several of the non-commissioned officers and men of the, companies lately arrived from Ceylon, being desirous. of paying a visit to their friends after their very long • term of foreign service , now nearly thirteen years have, by the kindness of Sir H. D. Ross, Colonel.l ...imandant, been granted furloughs for that pur pose, and upwaids of thirty of the men proceeded on their different routes today. This is as it should be, as there can be no inducement which would have such' influence ever the men as the prospect of visiting then' friends and the scenes of their youth. The certainty of furloughs being granted to them, however distant the pe riod, would create resolutions in their mind to save every trifle they could spare, that they might appear with credo when they reached their early homes, or visited tho com panions of their earlier years, and it would be wise pulic,: t were the commanders of regiments to hold out this pros. pcct as a reward for certain periods of gcod conduct.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUZ. SIR,—I have read in ycccrday's Standard, with measureless indignation (but of course without astonish ment), an article in which the writer makes an effort to infuse into the minds of readers an opinion th a t O'Connell, the moral regenerator, whose primal princi ple in politics is—" The man who commits a crime gives strength to the enemy," was the ilstigator to the fire which has recently o-curred to Devonport. In order to give something like a semblance of a cause for O'Connell's being the instigator, the writer of this piece of diabolism falsely a ffi rms t h at O'C onne ll was the only person in Ireland who would oppose the enlistment of soldiers and sailors for the army and navy of England in the event of a war. This is a pure and gratuitous falsehood. It was I, a Protestant, who first gave the advice to Ireland last May, in a public document ; and there arc seven mil lions of the people of Ireland prepared to act in accord ance with my adjuration. No man in. existence has the same practical know ledge that I have of the working of my great leader's ethical and political system. as I have been, although a Protestant, for the last eleven years his head pacificator of the Catholic peasantry of Ireland. With respect to what is called " the Repeal of the Union," I beg to say that this is an utter misnomer ; there is no Union to be repealed ; the act was perpe trated by means so accursed that it was void, ab origine.

EVENING EDITH THE RECHSTItATIONS. MIDDLESEX. The Barristers sat yesterday at the King's Head Enfield. (Before Mr. COVENTRY.) The Enfield, South Mims, Hadley and Fricrn Bar net lists were revised by this gentleman. Sir William Richardson, who'elaimed for the manor of Chipping Barnet and East Barnet, was objected to by the Liberals. Mr. Coppock sail the manor was in Hertfordshire, and therefore Sir William had no qualification in Mid. dlesex. - Mr. A3cy observed that this objection bad taken him by surprise. He believed the fact was that the manor was partly in Hertfordshire and partly in Mid- &sex. Mr. Coppock belined there was also a valid objee or!. to Sir William on the ground of change of res'.. After some further observations the case was post poned, in order that inquiries might be made relative to the manor, and to afford Sir William Richardson an opportunity of substantiating his vote. NEW RIVER CLAIMANTS. William Astell, claiming for a New River share was objected to by the Liberals. Mr. Adey said that after the decisions the Learned Barrister had so repeatedly given on this qaestion, it would be a waste of time for him to raise any discussion upon it, and it was the more unnecessary, as Mr. Astelt was in the Hornsey list, and unobjected to. The name was expunged. John Jackson, another New River claimant, was also objected to by the Reformers. Mr. Coppock stated that there had been some diffi culty in serving Mr. Jackson with the notice of objec tion. On the list he was described as of St. Leonard's ; but not being known there, the notice had been adver. tised in the newspapers. Mr. Adey observed that Mr. Jackson's town resi dence was well known. Mr. Coppock—lf Mr. Jackson has a town house, and yet describes himself as of St. Leonard's, that pretty clearly :lows he intended to hide himself from obs:rva tion.—(Laughter.) M. Adey—lf you had looked into Ile London Di rectory, or inquired of the New River clerk, you would have ascertained his residence . Mr. COVENTRY did not think that an advertisement could 1:e considered sufficieLt notice. Toe name was therefore retained. (Before Mr. SHADWELL) . , The lists for the parishes of Edmonton and Totten ham were reviled by Mr. Shadvrell. The name of David Budgen, on the Edmonton list having been called, Mr. Holmes, on behalf of the Liberals, proved service of notice of objection to the claim. The notice was addressed to David Bugden (the real name of the party) and served at his place of abode described in the lisr. Mr. Turner submitted that the notice of objection was not valid, not having been addressed in the same name as that which appeared in the list. In the list the name was Badgers, but the notice had been served as Bugden. 111 r. Holmes contended that the notice of objection was good, as it bad been served as the party really in tended to be named in the list, and called the overseer who proved that the claimant's name was Bugden. It was therefore clear that the transposition of the letters was merely a typographical error. Mr. Turner cited the case of Joseph Hume (not the Hon. Member for Kilkenny), in which the name of the party was correctly desen'oed in the list, but the notice of objection served al John Hume, and the ob jection disallowed. Mr. Holmes observed that that was just the con verse of the present case. The name on the list was correct as Joseph Hum; but the notice was served as John Hume. Mr. SHADWELL held the objection to be invalid, the identity of the party having been clearly proved. Mr. Phillip Lybb Powys, described as of Baliol Co lege, Oxford, was objected to by the Reformers. Mr. Burnard stated, en making inquiry at the Col lege, he ascertained Mr. Powys had left the College a considerable time previously, and gone to reside near Reading. He therefore left the notice with the porter. Mr. Turner submitted that the service of the notice of objection on the porter could not be deemed good service. Mr. Burnard ought to have gone to the rooms which Mr. Powys occupied, when in the College. Mr. Burnard observed that he would not have been allowed to have done so. Mr. Turner mentioned that in the case of a fellow of Dulwich College, Mr. Coventry held that service on the porter of the College was not good service. Mr. Holmes observed that the cases were not ana logous. In the Dulwich College case, the party was a fellow of the College, and had a separate house, with a separate entrance. Now, Mr. Powys did not even re side at Ballot College. Mr. SHADWELL (after consulting Mr. Coventry g u o p o o d o , theas hell u e l v o v n i e s h i d Coll ) o College case porter rt e held rof t t h h e e coii service t o Collage be was the servant of the gentlemen there. He had the power and if he thought fit, might exercise it, of closing th gates, and preventing a person serving process. The occupation of rooms by under-graduates was very different from that of the fellows of Dulwich College, who bad separate residences. Charles Shadboit was objected to, as having changed his place of abode. He was described in the list "Tottenham." Mr. Shadholt's son attended, and said his father had a good freehold, but that, in April last, he had changed from one house in-Tottenham to an other house in the same parish. Mr. SIIADIVELL—Ras he sent in a fresh claim? Mr. Shadbolt—Certainly not. I do not consider that, under the Act, he was bound to do so. Mr. SHAMS ELL—I consider he has changed his place of abode, and, not having sent in a fresh claim, his name must be ex,eteged. A man might describe himself as residing in London, and change his residence continually. That would never do.—Expunged. The result of the day's proceedings was as follows :-- I Overseers. Reformers.
