( From our Correspondent.) LONDON,' Wednesday. Evening, half-past 7 o'clock. _ . . We are without any intelligence from the seat of war of a later date th an i s g i ven i n t h e second editions of the Morning papers of this day. We have had letters to-day from Figures of the 18th instant, which mention that port to be still in a state of siege, and that no vessel appearing off could be communicated with, which ren dered that Bay, naturally difficult, much more so. We find by the latest advices from Batavia, that the Dutch Government had positively resolved, in future, to carry on the Coffee trade exciusively, and that. notice to that effect had been issued in the various districts ou the island, and that no contracts were permitted to be made by individuals. This had, .as might be expected,, occasioned great discontent among the mercantile portion of the community. We have received accounts 'from Bushire to the end of July. The dreadful plague recently ravaging that cityand neighbour hood had entirely ceased ; but it is calculated fforn its first aim :, pearance it had carried off eighteen thousand out of the origi nal twenty thousand of the inhabitants of Bushire. At and near Busarrah, it had been equally fatal, from seventy to eighty thousand Persons having been carried off. It had entirely left this latter district since April last. Bushire was threatened with a hostile attack by the son and brother of the late Shaik, who had possession of a ship of war and several boats in 'the outer roads, the Shaik himself having been assassinated at Dolahee. These hostile chieftains threatened an embargo, but up to the above date, merchant ships had been allowed to enter Witliout opposition. 'The trade of Buslkire was in a - most de pressed state, from the effect of the pestilence and the unset tled aspect of political affairs. The accounts from Monte Video, to the 27th of Sept. men tion that another attempt had been made there to overthrow the existing government, by a party in correspondence with emigrants, at Buenos Ayres. Three letters were intercepted and the plot discovered time enough to defeat it. The Argen tine Colonel Morales and a Colonel of La Plata named Planes had been arrested. They had calculated on gaining over the battalion of dragoons, and were so confident of success that a vessel was ready to sail from Buenos Ayres with an account of their victory. We find, by letters received from Oporto this morning, and dated the 10th instant, that the batterieeof Don Miguel had sunk a large Brazilian brig from Maranham, prize to one of Don Pedro's ships, a French vessel with . CO barrels of flour, and a Portuguese Yatch from the Western Islands. The Herald, Shaw, from Liverpool, is posted in Lloyd's books as arrived at Vera Cruz. We have had no very material business doing in our Consol market to day; the-market at the commencement was heavy at 84 g - M, for the account; but it subsequently rallied to 84M %, and at the close the priceivas 81M, • • Our Foreign Stock Market has not for the last day or two exhibited much variation. Spanish Stock has been on the decline, as it is generally understood that - M. Geo. Bremudez, the new Spanish Minister, isnot so disposed to encourage the liberalism of the Queen as was expected, and that he has suc ceeded in changing in-some sort her sentiments on that subject. As it is considered this will interfere with any hope of an early adjustment of the Cortes Bonds, the market -has been heavy, and the price is this afternoon - at 16 If Our other Foreign securities scarcely furnish any matter for, comment. Russia Bonds are 98 31 ; Danish 684 a ; Dutch 41M%; Belgian 7311 M ; Brazilian 46147; T'ortuguese Bonds 491, and the Scrip 4%31 dis. Notice has been given 'at the' Post Office this afternoon, that letters foal the Leward Island and. Jarnacia Mail, - will be in tune-on the 22nd instant, the sailing of the Packet 'having been postponed. Lisbon .Gazettes to the 3d instant have been received to-day, but' being of a previous date to some that have already reached: London,. their contents are not worth extracting, The Gazgtte of the 30th contains an official letter from the Viscount San tarem to the Ctrnde de Laurenco, stating that Admiral Parker had made a formal complaint of the insult to the 'British by firing on the Raven, and that his M a j es ty h a d g i ven or d ers that the officer who had been guilty of this aggression should be tried by a court martial. Another official notice relates to a complaint by Admiral Parker of some musket shots haVing been fired, from an eminence on the south of the Douro, upon the English .ship Orestes. Orders are given to inquire into this affair. " His Majesty will not have the neutrality of the tish flag violatedin any manner, but will have any violation of such neutrality severely punished, when the ships Of that na tion do not, obstruct the 'operations of his Majesty's army `against the rebels," We have received the following from our Falmouth corre spondent:— FALarouvi, Dec. 17.—His Majesty's brig Royalist, Lieut. Williams, armed this afternoon from Lisbon and'Oporto, hav ing sailed from the former place on the Ist, and the latttr place on the lh.h. The period of her sailing from Lisbon being some days prior to that of the Pantaloon, she can bring no news. From Oporto her advices are two days later than those re ceived, but the tenour of them is by no means of importance, nothing having occurred in that short time between the 'Con stitutional and Royalist forces which could be termed fighting, The-Douro continued in a' state of-blockade by the Miguelites. Pedro's forces were in good skirits, and intended taking every advantage of fine weather for 'annoying their opponents;-,-- Morning -Herald of Wednesday, (Second Edition.)

What a disgrace,—what a miserable state of aflairs,—not a re spectable man in the country would accept office. This speaks volumes as to the popularity of Leopold, and the confidence of the public in the Anglo-Gallic peaceable system.—aid. NAVAL ARTILLERY PRACTICE.—The tridngularfiring of the French before Antwerp, spoken of by the correspondent of the Times, is not, as the Standard apprehends, exactly on the prin. ciple of the Irishman's gun that fired round a corner, but an important improvement on that principle. The Irishman's gun fired angularly, or only round one corner at a time ; the trian gular firing speaks for itself. It is that astonishing Improve ment in gunnery which enables a piece of ordnance to fire round three corners at once!—Morning Herald. FituiTs OF THE DUTCH WAR.—We have already informed our readers that the mercantile interest of Holland had made arrangements for carrying on all their operations under the protection of the American flag---a protection not to be invaded with impunity. We have to announce another melancholy result of the war with Holland to the already oppressed ship ping industry of Great Britain. Several Swedish and Nor wegian vessels are now actually chartered and loading in the port of London, on Dutch and English account, for a trade heretofore exclusively in the hands of the English shipowner. The manufacturer is obliged to avail himself of these flags, to cover his productions and execute his orders, instead of thatonce respected ensign which, above all, contributed to their security, The shipowner is thus robbed abroad; and at home, where, aboveall, he had a right to look for protection, plundered still more cruelly, because it happens under his own e_yes, and despite his own remonstrances.--Guardian and Public Leger,. . LLovus.—At a meeting of the subscribers, held -on Wednes day to eleA three gentlemen to fill up the vacancies caused by. three members of the committee who go out by rotation . , a vote :of £5O was proposed to be made from the funds of the.Hou se ,- for. the widows and children of the sufferers by the recent calti mitt' in the Shetland Islands.

THE SIEGE OF THE CITADEL OF ANTWERP• • The following particulars in addition to the accounts given is a precedinw page of our paper, arc extracted from the privat e , correspoinience of the Times, published in a second edition O that paper : ANTWERP, SATURDAY, DEC. 15, NlGHT.—During the 411 'the firing was constant; but since the evening, whiefi h a i beta very wet, it ha s s l ac ke ne d ; yet an occasional discharge - of sorti e heavy guns proves that there is no truce. Nit though thousand' of shells are thrown, artillery tired off, & hundreds killed onil' e f one side and the other, yet they are friends. The King ° Holland seems disposed, according to letters from the Hee; 'arrived here, to att ac k th e B e l g i ans w h en t h e French retire, 0" war must ensue. The Belgian territory must be cleared of the Dutch before the French can withdraw. Therefore, even are' the citadel b e t a k en , th e f orts o f Li efkenshock and Lillo, bet ,, Belgian, must be ceded. These forts are on the banks of IV Scheldt, and are strengthened by the presence of several late vessels of war and a number of gun boats: The inundatin o now prevent the French from approaChing them without ' flotilla, which, if vessels drawing-seven feet, can come alone 1' the canal from Ostend; if smaller, by the Scheldt from Franc' itself, since the Scheldt is declared cloked by the Dutch Kir* . A strong frost would at this moment be the best friend to pear, -for with its aid the Fren c h cou ld pass over t h e polders 40' effect their purpose. The Dutch ships, as appears from IV Dutch papers, made an attack on the French battery at it' Croiz three days ago, and had several shells thrown into e Comet and Eu r ydi ce , w hi c h did some damage. The admiral Leeuw Van Aduard, is said in those papers to have been ki by a grenade, besides others on board. This looks ominous ' the naval attack.

At different p ar t s of th e di tc h around the city,. workn have been employed the last three days - making cuts to allowito, water to pass from th e dit c h i n t o t h e po l ders near the r d P leading to Holland. To empty the ditch effectually, cuts hal e been formed, so as to allow the water to flow into the courier,' The ditch round the citadel must, therefore, at certain peri.e of the tide, be c o me d r y, and will afford great f ac i r iti es f or -1 1 '' French engineers to carry General Ilaxo's plan of mining, f c ' into effect.

ELEVEN O'CLOCK.—The weather has been very wet durio the night, and the rain now fails in torrents. Tlui French ceed slowly, but steadily', in their ar ran o eme nt s - f or a ttach the citadel. It is feared that th e b a d we a t h er will preven, breaching, if batteries from b e i ng rea d y unt il late to-11101ln evening, even then.—The French did not appear to be so ‘' e l !, pleased with their artillery, as with their engineer corps. . 0 superior officer has aimed from Paris, .in order to esa , l,,t into the causes of the infe r f or it y o f t h e f ormer, to its anelove reputation. There is, I believe, a jealousy between theY e corps, which requires also to be investigated. TWELVE O'CLocK.—Att old British sailo r d escr ibes his delight ,„ 0 in having . witnessed last ni g ht t h e firino' of the French c0 1 ':7; 4 mortars, in which they c all perpendicular practice—that Ist, an angle of about 88 d egrees t o a great elevation, which mar.; the projectiles fall immediately within the ramparts among r Dutch tirailleurs. I ONE o'cLocK.—Nothing new on the Scheldt. The French officers have, lost ouch of their esteem for the defence of Chasse . , which they now consid er as no t so effective as ought to be o`, pected from his position. An officer, whose curiosity inducet,' him to ask, some days ago, some questions from the Freno l soldiers, when about to enter the trenches, was required to code before the Gener a l commanding the corps. He showed h. l ' passports and ex c u se d hi mse lf as being "British.' " Sir," sal t the General, " You, as a so ldi er, ought to know that you oug ht not to ask such questions." HALF -PAST ONE O'CLOCK.—The - great mortar is at this iac ment undergoing the essay at B rasc h uet. Th e B e l g i an goveri.: meat has ex - hibited some proof of resolution in the seizure la' night of the redacteurs and printers of the Messayer of Ghost , which paper having been supported by Dutch money and writ' ten by foreigners, has done great mischief. Several Frenell. and other foreign writers in the Dutch pay . here, and elsewhere , are now in a state of alarm. The tiring is very brisk. THE FRENCH ARMY. BERCIIEM, SUNDAY NIGHT, 11 O'CLOCK, 'nc. 16, 1832 breachin g batteries are all mad e , an d i t i s reported they will mounted immediately. About two o'clock this afternoon, sett" ral heavy pieces were taken to the trenches, and the men iP t : stantly set to woik to place th em on t h e b atter i es . It is likely we shall have two most uninteresting days until f breaching batteries begin to play. In consequence of despatf4;_ - received yesterday at head quarters f r o m frontiers of atatll I, land, Marshal Gerard immediately ordered that the gener a belonging to General A c h ar d' s d iv i s i on sheuid rema i n ' A, heads of their several brigades. It is rumouredthat this sudden command was caused by the concentration of Dutch trot near Bergen-op- . Zoom; and that the Prince of Orange making a diversion in order to draw off attention from the Cita" del. It was also said that 1000 volunteers had reached_ ,V and Rosendael, and that 400 chasseurs had marched into uoilT; dyck. I am informed that it is intended to effect a breach ill bastion Toledo the same way as at St. Laurent, , and that this change of plan may cause a delay ofseveral ola before the grand attack can be made. The French account fo r the quiet manner they were‘enabled to commence their war by the following curious circumstances. A miller near Bercheta was observed to have a lightedlarnp on the top of his mill evelY intend night since the arrival of the French before the walls of .0 1 ; were. On the' nights the trenches were opened, a hussar stationed near the mill, ank not observing the lantern 1; usual, he compelled the milled to'- light it and place it io same position it wa s - th e ' n i g ht before . The miller has sluse been arrested as a spy; and it has been found out that he h ' ed concertedwith the ci tad e l, th a t the night the French oPe" the trenches, the lamp should be taken down. SHIPPING. OF CONVICTS.-011 Tuesday a rather s erious rio t took place at Leith, during the shipping of 21 convicts board of the smack Edinburgh C as tl e . A s i t i s genera lly th e case when convicts are shipped, a great crowd collected on w e shore at the place where the v esse l was l y i ng; an d when a t , Caravan arrived the crowd pressed arround• it, and very In" incommoded the persons who acted as guard over the prisono l , AmOng the crowd were severa l associates o f t h e f e lons, s li d who, when they were taken ou t o f the caravan, pushed elbowed - the people until.they got near the police, when t sl he suddenly threw sticks to their companions, who with them coil menced an attack on the police, with a view to rescue the prisoners. The officers stoutly defended themselves, and ID' flitted severe blows both on the convicts and those who attack them, and ultimately succeeded in safely lodging their pri soners onboard the smack. They were all fero cio us=loobvg fellows, and one of them swore that if he had a knife he wood stab the captain to the heart. Three men were apprehend!! who were •active. in the riot, and next day were tined by to` sitting magistrate.—Edinburgh Observer.
