TUESDAY.

The crowd assembled near the House of Commons, and in the
♦icinity of the houses of those ntemhers who support the Corn Bill)
were very numerous ; but the frequent appearance of the military
amongst them, kept them in a stale of tolerable quiet. Gnat&
were stationed at the door of the Lord Chancellor; bone and loot
soldiers paraded st. James's and Berkeley-squares, where reside
Lord Castlereagh and Lord Darnley ; and indeed military patroles
were seen at night in most of the streets at the west•end of the town.

RIOTS IN THE METROPOLIS.

The City of London, particularly in the neighbouiliood of the
Mansiondionse, presented on Monday, at an catty hour, a scene of
entraordinary hustle and activity, in consequence of the crowds
prersing forward from all dirt ctions to sign-the Petition against the
Corn Bill. The west end of the Town also presented a busy scene.
- The Mil Power displayed a great force of constables, and the mi-
litary were also in a state of preparation. The guard at St. James's
were marched to the Horse Guards ; that in the Tilt-yard ;mg-
menisci ; and iii the forenoon the I 4narda were paraded in considera-
ble force in St. James's Park. The bustle on the pait of the people
was excited by the committal of the Corn Bill, which stood for
Monday night in the House of Commons.
About the usual hour of the Meeting of Parliament, there were •
assembles! in (lament parts, from George-street to A bingdowstreet.
various mops of person., all declaimiiie, against the Corn BA and
inveighing against such of the members as had been most active in
support of it. There had previously been a great number of per-
sons in the lobby and avenues of the house, and constables had been
posted in them, to prevent too great a pressure and disturbance.
About one o'clock the doors of the gaiter* were opened, and it
*as instantly tilled. The paseages meanwhile continued crowded,
and an order given to clear them was executed with difficulty. The
avenue to the Hmise of Courtisous through Westminster Hall was
then closed, and a party of constables was placed at each door,
leaving the portico passage, opporite Westminster Abbey, the only
one open for the admission of members. This passage. was filled
with constables, who had strict orders to permit no strangers to
sat.

THE NATMNAL REGISTER:

......11‘....

Mr. Hunter, jun. the Messenger, arrived at the Foreign
Office, in Downing-street, on Friday night, with dispatches
from the Duke of Wellington, at Brussels. The commence-
ment of hostilities was daily expected to take place.

Dispatches were received on Thursday at the office of
Lord Castlereagh, from Vienna, containing the Emperor of
Austria's ratification of the Treaty of the 25th March, en-
tered into by the Allied Powers against Buonaparte.
Paris Papers to the 23d inst. and a Mail from Holland ar-
rived on Thursday. The intelligence by the latter is im-
portant. The principal body of the French Army, which
was at Valenciennes has suddenly marched in three Columns,
of sixteen thousand men each, towards the Meese, taking the
road of Givet. From this moment, it is probable the enemy
have resolved to strike the first blow, by an attempt to turn
the left of the Allied Army; but as the Duke of Welling-
ton must have immediately observed the change of position
thus effected, we may rest satisfied that the necessary mea-
sures were promptly taken to frustrate the enemy's design.
The King of the Netherlands has appointed the Duke of Wel-
lington Commander in Chief of the Army of the Netherlands.
The Emperor of Russia has addressed a letter to the Polish
Senate, announcing that the Congress has determined, that
Poland shall maintain the rights of an independent kingdom,
and that his Majesty, in assuming the title of King of Poland
will seek only the happiness of the country. The kingdom
is to be united to Russia, but to be governed by its own Con-
stitution. It is once more asserted, that the King of Saxony
has given his formal assent to the proposed incorporation of
part of his territory with the Prussian dominions.

86. Passag• and Luggage boats.—By A . W. Colcott, IL A.
A charming picture, full of harmony and beautifully still. Thor
41, waveless calm," of the sea, and the serenity of the air, accord
perfectly with the inobtrusive nature of the subject, and the
soft and faithful execution of the whole arrest the attention
of the spectator where the title in the catalogue would never
have attracted his notice

158 Dido building Carthage, or the rise of the Carthaginian
Empire.—By J. M. W. Turner, R. A.—This is the greatest
production of Turner's genius, and leaves far behind it every
other work of the same description, with which we are ac-
quainted, which has been produced for many years. The
bright yellow tint of the sky has been much objected to, but
a few years must so mellow the glare which now offends, as to
leave no room for cavil even in those who judge of alt skies
by our own. The figures in this picture. although minute,
evince proper attention ; the water is beautifully pellucid, and
the rising palaces and temples are on a grand and imposing
scale. It is in this latter respect, however, if in any, that
blame attaches. The buildings might almost as well give
the idea of Carthage in ruins as in its infant:it.
222. Village Gossips, a scene
.from nature.-13y J. J. Cha-
lon.--Although this picture is entitled after the yetsonages
which are introduced in it, it can only pretend to notice as a
Landscape, and as such it possesses much truth. The tress
in particular are well done, but the general style is 'after hare.
28f1. Idle Roys.—By 11. Mulrcady. They must have
been long indeed from school who are not interested and
amused by this picture. Two idlers, who have been playing
games on a slate in preference to the duller employ-
ment of casting their sums or learning their lessons, have
been detected in the fact, and one of them has just re-
ceived a smart application of the ruler upon his knuckles)
which makes him wiithe, and we had almost said roar, most
violently. This is the best figure, but that of his coin oanion
who stands in sullen expectation of a similar correction, and
those of their frightened playm nes at their desks, are also
full of character. Mulready's pictures gill in futurc h. as R•
gu'.arly looked for as Wilkie's and Bird's.

THE NATIONAL

POLITICAL DISQUISITION.

POLICY OF OF THE PRESEN't WAIL

The great question is at last decided. War has been
embraced by all the Powers of Europe, as the only
means of securing their thrones and enabling them to
eittblish the system of equilibrium which they fancy will
give lasting tranquillity to the world. All the otertures
made by Napoleon have been rejected ks hollows and,
tic-7 by us, deemed unworthy of any answer. Eng-
land, the wonted leader of the continent, the framer of
coalitions, has this time acted a more moderate and pru-
dent part. If we are to grant implicit credit to the decla-
rations of her ministers, she has " done nothing to excite,
to persuade or to pro►oke the Allies to eagage in
the contest. Least menaced by the danger, and pos-
sessed of the most efficient resources to meet it, she did
not think it her duty to incite them to action.
—Her language has been, do that which you think
best for your own interests : if you determine on
war, I am ready to embark with you and will
never leave you ; but, above all, do not divide your
strength, nor look on the contest as the struggle of a
clay, hut as likely to be attended with great difficulties."
Had she found any division in the councils of the conti-
Dental Powers, any doubt of its being their interest at
once to have recourse to arms, we are told she would have
preferred incurring the dangers of a transitory peace with
Buonaparte, to those of an hopeless war. But she met on
every side with ardour equalling her own, and unanimity
sever surpassed. She saw numerous armies ready to
march, and breathing revenge. She counted embattled
millions, and instead of weeping like Xerxes, at the bre-
vity of human existence, and the transitoriness of earthly
power, she reflected on the use which might be made of so
many lives, and the blessings which they might purchase.
Full of confidence and hope, she discarded all thought of
peace, signed the bond of union with confederated Sove-
reigns, and drew from her treasures the means of setting in
motion the complicated and gigantic mass of European
hostility.

Such has been the course of our country, and its policy
is undoubted. However opinion may Tay with

the justice of the war which is now declared : however
humanity may lament that peaceful professions could not
be believed and put to the test, the heavy responsibility of
all the blood that will flow, is thus discharged from our
shoulders. Whatever be the events of the contest, our
Allies cannot reproach us with having seduced them into
it to support our own interests. We have left them the
dangerous honour of originating it, and if any one is ac-
countable for its issue, it must be those by whose mature
and unanimous resolution it was undertaken. The si-
tuation in which they stand, is a bond of fidelity which
former coalitions did not possess. It is the same w ith
monarchs as with men : when pressed into the services
they think it no breach of duty to desert whenever an op-
portunity occurs. How many instances of such breaches
of faith and honour have not those Powers given us, who
are now in arms for the express purpose of punishing a
violator of treaties ? How often did they not pledge them-
selves to redeem the independence of Europe, and
marching in our pay, struggle long enough to re-
ceive our subsidies,. then make peace with the enemy, '
sanction his aggrandisement and become our foes ?
Did not Russia in 1805 bind herself to carry into execu-
tion by the power of her arms the very same system of
European arrangement now adopted, and then laid down
by Mr. Pitt? How did she redeem that pledge ! Sup-
ported successively by Austria and Prussia, and con.
stantly by all our means, she no sooner saw these to o
Powers worsted and the road to her dominions open,
than before her territory bore the print of an hostile foot,
she welcomed the conqueror as a friend, dashed the
equilibrum of Europe to the ground, adopted all his
views of continental policy, assisted all his plans of con-
tinental oppression, shared in the spoils of the Prussian
and Austrian monarchies, signed the downfall of the
Bourbons in Spain, of the House of Braganza in Portugal,
and declared war against us and our despotism of the
seas. It is a melancholy consideration that this instance
is not a solitary one, and that if all Europe is now fight-
ing with us against France, it has repeatedly left us to
fight with France against us. Such a recurrence of trea-
cherris however less probable at this period. Being the
authors of the war, the Allies can have no plea for seccd.

rit;)Prs are eight In number, they were officially transmitted
to Lord Castlereagh by Count I3lacas, who first ettecea
them to be duly certified, and took the further precaution
of confiding the originals to Prince Castelcicala, the Sici-
lian Ninister. The e, since the charge has appeared in
this country, which the French goverment has made.
against them, have been inspected by Lord Castlereagh.
Five of them are beyond all dispute genuine, and these so
far establish a cae- reainst Murat, that, had Count Rlacas
been ba..e enoeell (-) attempt such an imposition, he could
have had no motive for forging the other three. But in
the Fiend) -Papers a letter is given from Lord Wellington,
in which he expresses himself satisfied that Murat was ac-
tually cotrintlei to ho,tilities with• France under Buona-
ipa rte. This letter, and well it must be known to the
French Government, referred to documents totally dis-
tinct from those which Lord Castlereagh lately submitted
to Parliament. In thus pressing into the support of fraud
tie letter of that gallant chieftain, their meaurie,s and in-
famy must disgust every honourable mind : and what ad-
ilitional indignation must not be felt when it is known,
that en those documents, we mean those descri!;ed in the
French papers to be forgeries, the Duke of Wellington
has written to his Government, that the undoubted proofs
which they contained of Murat's treachery had totally
changed his opinion. That having submitted these to the
Allied Sovereigns, they, satisficd of his duplicity, had
been unanimously of opinion that an attack on his power
was necessary- to their own security.
This wretched attempt to make the world believe that
Murat was not treated by Buonaparte in the way de-
seribed in the letter produced by Lord Castlereagh, must
be seen through 1) y every one. It cannot be supposed
that ":_oust Maras would unnecessarily have ventured on
so elaborate a forgery as that which he is represented
succeisfully to have accomplished in the French Papers.
Enough was proved for his purpose by those papers which
came into his possession, of which the authenticity cannot
be goestioned. Yet is this barefaced falsehood put forth in
the face of Europe by that Government which our reform-
res here would fain have us to believe, meets with the uni-
versal approbation of the French people, and is in every
respect infinitely preferable to that of Louis XVIIIth.
Some idea of the truth and honour which distinguish it
may he formed from a perusal of the facts which we have
here briefly narrated ; and we doubt not each succeeding
tveek will furnish fre.,,,li proofs of the same predominating
spirit.

RERELLION OF THE SAXONS.

The extent of the dangerous ins.u.rertion of the Saxon
troops at Liege, will be best known by the following Procla-
mation issued on the 6th irst. by General Blocher who
Larrowly escaped being aßsassinated, and canned many of the
rebels to he shot, and disbanded the whole regiment of
Grenadiers of the Saxon Guard.

PROCLAMATION.

Poldiers of the Saxon Corps—Tcrrilile crime.; have
been committed in your ranks. I had with confidence fixed
Tiiy quarters among you, when l was attacked by a troop of
assazsins rind rebels, who, refusing to obey their Officers,
persisted for three days in a criminal mutiny. Soldiers, you
would he dishonoured in the eyes of ail Europe, your national
honour would be for ever lost, if I did not render you the
testimony that you have on this occasion expressed in a sti
king manner, the indignation which was excited in you by a
licentious soldiery, which, in refusing to obey its Officers,
violated the first duty of a soldier.

Bv the confidence you place in me, you have counted
on the possession of the right which honour and the laws of
war give you. You have not deceived yourEelve,. The re-
giment of grenadiers has ceased to exist. The standard
which it disgraced has been burnt, and the sword of justice
has fallen on the guilty.

Soldiers I continue to attend to the yoke of your
office's. Their duty is not only to lead you into battle, but
also to watch for the preservation of your honour, and your
,welfare. I cannot, therefore, better chew you my approba-
tior, or bet.er save tour character from disgrace, than by
contintwog to deliver to the sem-6hy of the laws the promo-
ters of insubordination, and their accomplices, if they should
still dare, by their crimes, to tarnish voUr military g.fory.

accompanied by Smith, the conductor of the patrole belonging
