(From the Quotidienne of Monday.)
Some disturbances have broken out at Hanover. On
the 14th placards were posted up, demanding the aboli-
tion of duties and imposts, and claiming general freedom.
Some fear was entertained that the corn market would
have been plundered, but fortunately this was prevented.
The troops were under arms, but they did not find it ne-
cessary to make any hostile movement, and at eleven
o'clock every thing was peaceable. The play of Schiller's
termed the Voleurs was advertised for representation the
following night, but it was thought prudent to with-
draw it.

" The drawing up of the law for fixing the Civil List
has been determined upon, and it will be presented to the
Chamber of Deputies after to-morrow. It is believed
that the Civil List will amount to twenty millions."
We think that the latter part of this statement is more
officious than official, considering the present state of the
notion, under a Government which is nothing than the
phantom of a monarchy, and particularly as the King
adopted a system of the most excessive economy.
An order has been issued by the Government, directing
that the crosses should be removed from all public places
in the different cities throughout the kingdom.
Private letters from Gard convey an opinion that the
tranquillity now existing at Nismes cannot last long. A
spirit of discontent is apparent, and nothing but a strong
body of troops will be able to secure the public peace.

A letter from Toulon, dated Sept. 29, gives the follow-
ing account ;
On the day of the above date Admiral Duperri made his
public entry into this city. As early as seven o'clock in
the morning the different avenues leading to the arsenal
were thronged with a dense crowd, and a double line of
soldiers was formed from the Hotel de Ville to the arsenal,
at the interior of which the Admiral was to disembark.—
Detachments of the line and the artillery were also sta-
tioned near the spot. At eight o'clock it was announced
by the discharge of the cannon from the Admiral's ship
and the ramparts, that Admiral Duperrb had landed from
the ship (the Algiers). He was received by M. Duren-
teau (Prefect of Maine), and by a great number of offi-
cers of the navy and army. General 13eurinan received
him at the gate of the arsenal, and a numerous deputation
of the Prefecture of the Marine, where he was visited by
the staff and the different authorities. The inhabitants of
Toulon expressed great satisfaction at seeing an old officer,
whose bravery during the Algerine expedition, and the
injustice he had suffered from the former Government,
and, finally, his conduct upon the news of the events of
July reaching Africa, have obtained for him universal ap-
probation. The naval force may rely on him for a just
recompense of merit.
(From La Revolution of Wednesday, Oct. 6.)
France has experienced a great disappointment; she
thought to have given so strong an impulse to tie me-
chanism of her Government, as to cause an entire revolu-
tion, but the wheel work was so much out of order, and
their motion kept up so few seconds, that it would he say-
ing too much to assert that she has made a quarter of a
conversion, and we shall not be surprised at seeing her
retrograding and falling back into her former position.
Belgium more free, more complete in the march of re-
volution, is sufficient to rouse the courage of all the

friends of European freedom. A single spark will often
produce an extensive conflagration, and it is with pleasure
that we see that patriots of that country understand that
the liberty of one people cannot be secured without that of
all. We have received a proclamation issued by M. Potter,
and which will be found underneath.
" APPEAL TO MEN OF THE PRESENT AGE.

" The cause of liberty against a blind despotism is de-
bating 'throughout Enrope at the present day. France
pronounced the first sentence, the appeal lies to Belgium.
" It is to that quarter that all anund ideas of modern
philosophy ought to bend ; it is on that pure soil that all
friends of reason and humanity will assemble to colonise
COMMA sense, which has been repulsed elsewhere.
" Frenchmen !--Belgians!—Germans !—inhabitants of
all countries, whose intellects are on a level with those of
the age, the day has at last arrived to realize that brilliant
Utopia of a wise economical Government, and particu-
larly one independent of the weakness or folly of a single
individual.

" May a noble ardour force you forward from ali parts
of the globe. It is not sufficient to say that the world is
on the march. it is absolutely necessary to march with it.
" These are opportunities which can only be once seised.
Woe to him who does not know how to take advantage of
these.

"The welfare of mankind is in our hands, and we
should be criminal in the extreme if we allowed it to
escape." (Signed) L. DE POTTER.

PARIS, OCT. 5:

From the demi-official report of the proceedings in
the Chamber of Peers yesterday, which you will find in
the Tenips of this day, you will perceive that the trial of
the Ex-Ministers cannot be commenced before the Ist of
next month. The intermediate time will be spent by the
accused, no doubt, in preparations for their defence, and
by their friends, in exertions to deprecate the public wrath.
To prejudge the fate, or speculate upon the lives of men,
may not be a matter of good taste, but in an affair of this
nature, the public will look for the earliest authentic in-
telligence with impatience. That which I have acquired
and am about to communicate, will, I have myself, not
the least doubt, prove correct. It is from a person peculiarly
qualified to pronounce an opinion. Here are his words:—
" The result of the trials will be in exact conformity
with the views and the indirect recommendation of the
Committee of the Chamber of Deputies, by whom the Act
of Accusation was drawn up. Nothing that the human
mind can suggest, except another act of clemency on the
part of the people more glorious than even their genero.
city to the Garde Royale, can save Polignac. lie will
be condemned ►o death. A slight shade of distinction be-
tween his guilt and that of Peyronnet (favourable to the
latter) has keen drawn in the Report. That distinction
will be recognised and adopted by the Peers. Peyronnet
will he sentenced to twenty years' imprisonment awl con-
fiscation of his property.— Chantelauze and Guernon Ren-
ville will be banished for life."

Although I am convinced that this prediction will be
verified, I have still some hope that the sentence antici-
pated against the principal of the accused, will not be car-
ried into effect. The King is decidedly against further
capital punishment•,—aad, happily, the feeling of the ma-
jority of the nation is in union with that of his Majesty.
The discussion on the subject in the Chamber of Deputies,
this day, on the motion of M. de Tracy, will, it is ex-
pected, prove that the sense of that body is against the in.
fiction of the pain of death ; but from that contemplated
amelioration of the penal code the Ex-Ministers can hope
for nothing, although M. de Polignac, when in conversa-
tion with M. Mellen Birrat, at St. Loo, seemed "to cal-
culate upon it. I repeat that the only chance 1w has of
escape from the sentence of the law, is a new proof of the
predominance of pity and generosity in the bosom of the
French over thirst of blood and vengeance.

BOURSE, TIMEX o'cLocx.
The levy of troops ordered by the Ordonnance to be
found in the Moniteur of this day, has already produced
on the Funds its natural consequence. At thin moment
the price of the Three per Cents. have fallen to 63. Spa.
niah Stock has equally tumbled : the Itentes Perpetuelle
are down to 37.

I am inclined to think, nevertheless, that this panic is
premature, and that the measure in question is merely
precautionary, but the accidental absence of the Russian,
Prussian, and Austrian Ministers from the dinner given in
London by the Duke of Wellington, at which Prince Tal-
leyrand was present ; and the absence of the Ministers of
the same Powers from the soirees of Count Mole here, is
one which caus,s considerable uneasiness.

The tedium of M. Vassal and Co. is for 15,000,000fr5.
M. Vassal attempted suicide yesterday, but was fortunately
prevented. lie sent in his resignation this day as one of
the Representatives of Paris in the Chamber of Deputies.
You will read with interest the commencement of the
debate on the Corn Laws in the Chamber of Deputies this
day, which I enclose.

I am informed that the resolution of M. de Tracy far
abolishing capital punishments, and which was to have
come on this day in the Chamber of Deputies, has been
rejected by the Committee to which it was referred ; but
that another, drawn up by M. Beranger, founded on that
of M. de Tracy (with qualification, however), is to be in-
troduced this evening in its room.

FOUR O'CLOCK.
The most gloomy reports respecting commercial houses,
considered hitherto as independent of all casualty, are in
circulation on the Bourse, and contribute still further to
depress the Punt'''.

The Three per Cents have recovered to the extent of
0 centimes.

Extract of a letter from Madrid, dated September 28 :
—" The small moderate party in the Ministry, whose
views inspired with some degree of hope the minds of the
friends of order and of the welfare of their country, has
been forced to yield to the influence and intrigues of the
Apostolics, Calomarde, and Zeniltrano. Ballasteros, Salmon,
and Salazar, bad conceived the idea of inducing the King
to convoke the cortex by estamentos, 00 the occasion of
the delivery of the Queen. Called together under pre-
tence of being consulted on the steps that the Government
ought to pursue under existing circumstances, and of pro-
viding for its present wants, they would have been invited
to acknowledge the new-born child as heir to the Crown.
The King at first seemed to smile upon the project, and
those who proposed it appeared to reckon upon the mode-
ration of the Deputies so far as to induce the King to
publish a manifesto, which would, as much as possible,
repair in the public opinion the non-observance of
the decrees promulgated on the 14th of May, 1814. at
Valentin, and on the 30th of Sept., 1823, at Cadiz. This
measure was to be accompanied by a general amnesty.
To this plan became necessarily attached the project of
instituting two Chambers, one of which, the Upper Cham-
ber, was to have been formed of the nobility and clergy;
and the other, the Lower Chamber, was to have been
elected by the most wealthy land-owners. Such were the
views of the moderate party, but the secret was denounced
by the apostolice, and an immediate convocation of that
faction, with their secret conferences and other manoeuvres,
ensued. The system of intrigue resumed its force with
indefatigable ardour, the inclinations of the King were
sounded, and be was soon found disposed to maintain ab►o-
lute power to its utmost extent. From this moment all
the prospects of Ballasteros, Salmon, and Sal,zar were
overthrown. Circulars were secretly despatched to the
provinces, Several of the Chiefs who had distinguished
themselves by their zeal in the ranks of the army of the
faith, were sent for to Madrid, to receive their orders
from the apostolic directory, and accordingly hastened to
the capital. The results of those manoeuvres must be de-
plorable.
Accounts from Lisbon state, that Don Miguel had em-
barked on board a ship of war all the powder that was in
the arsenal. Ile was under alarm that the people on some
sudden eruption should either get possession of it, or blow
up the place.
The Government of Geneva observing the agitation
among the working classes of the town, iu consequence of
the fermentation in Sunny, Piedmont, and Fribourg,
augmented as it is by the high price of bread, has assem-
bled alt the officer* of the Burgher Guard, in order
to consider and adopt measures to prevent or repress
disturbances.

The King has granted a pension of 20,000 francs per
annum, to the widow of Marshal Ney.
It is asserted that the Duke de Ragusa has sent in his
oath as Peer of France, and even as Marshal.
Mr. James O'Gorman Alabon has artived at Paris
with the address of the inhabitants of the city of Dublin.
The Chamber of Peers assembled yesterday as a Court
of Justice► and sat in deliberation from a quarter past
twelve to half past four. The number of Peers present
was greater than usual, about forty only being absent. It
is raid that at the opening of the sitting► it was decided
that the President should hasten to acquaint ail the Peers
absent from Paris, or out of France, with the important
duties they were called to fulfil, and that in order to give
time to such as are on missions abroad to return to the
capital. The let of November has been fixed on as the
earliest period for receiving the report of the judicial com-
mission of examination, composed of the President, anti
Messrs. &quiet., Bastard, and Douleet de Poutecoulant.
The Noble Court immediately pea sal to the discussion of
the mode of proceeding. A Noble Peer, who formed a
part of the Ministry of 1828, adopting the principle that
all justice emanates from the King, is stated to have pro-
posed the intervention of the Law Officer, of the Crown

in order to acquire, if there be ground for it, the application
of the law ; it seemed to him that the Commissioners of
the Chamber of Deputies being only able, accordirg to
their mission, to support the impeachment, would not
possess tliat character of impartiality which distinguishes
the law officers.

Messrs. Lamm, Portalis, Decazen, and St. Aulaire, op-
posed this opinion ; which was supported by Count Le-
mercier. They maintained that it was needless to call the
law officers, because they would be placed in a 6ituation
beneath that of the three Commissioners of the Cham-
ber of Deputies ; that their part in the impeachment
would be null and without object ; that as to the ob-
serrance and application of the laws, the Chamber,
as a supreme power in an affair out of common
law, was completely master to determine the forms,
and even resolve on the punishment, and that at the
same time that this jurisdiction was circumscribed by the
terms treason and peculation it was not confined to the
application of any law. The precedents of the Court of
Peers, moreover, are in conformity to this opinion, which
we are assured prevailed. We hear that M. de Chabrol
and the Duke de Grammont wrote to the President to ex-
cuse themselves.

The Court admitted the excuse of the Duke upen
the ground that he is brother-in-law of the Prince de
Polignac ; hut the excuse of M. de Chabrol was not re-
ceived.

The Court came to a resolution which will be made
publicoand will determine the forms; after which the ju-
dicial examination is to be conducted.

By the Flanders Mail, which arrived this
morning, we have the decrees of the Provisional
Government of Belgium, to the effect that
that country shall in future form an indepen-
dent state ; that a plan of a Constitution (what
an opportunity for JERRY BENTHAM !) shall
as soon as possible be drawn up ; and that a
General Congress shall be convoked, in which
all the interests of the country shall be rigidly
consulted. The affairs of Belgium, then, are
at length about to assume something like a
settled aspect. And what a slight circumstance has
hastened the period of its independence ! The
slightest particle of common sense on the part
of Prince FREDERICK, and of good faith on
the part of the KING, would have retarded,
though it could viot ultimately have prevented
the emancipation of the Belgians. It is
singular, and at the same time characteristic of
the two countries, that while the States. General
were idly deliberating at the Hague, the Pro-
visional Government was actively working at
Brussels.

(From the Journal de la Belgique of Wednesday, Oct. 6.)
astissats, OCT. 5.
The Provisional Government has appointed Count
Francois de Robiann, Governor of the province of Ant-
werp, as the chief town is in the occupation of the enemy :
he is to fix his residence as near it as possible : he will
immediately direct his attention to the organization of the
administration of the province, and will make a report to
Government on the state of affairs.

TbirProvisional Government also enjoins this Governor
to make all the authorities of the province adhere to the
cause of Belgium, and to propose to the Government the
nomination to office of those persons whoare judged the most
worthy of the general confidence, asknowledge and probity
are the qualities required.
The corps of Volunteers which were at Vilvorde received
orders the day before yesterday to be in the city again by
day-break. They set out on Monday at half-past three in
the morning, and arrived at Brtosels at six. Scarcely
half an hour after they left Vilvorde, 1,500 Dutch ap-
peared there. ' They soon left it and returned to their
position near Sem, st.

selves. The same has happened at St. Frond, which
began by seizing the Marechaussee, whom they have put
under confinement.

The fortress of Delimit has submitted ; the Dutch
garrison are prisoners of war. This conquest is due to
the courage of the inhabitants of Denant and the ad-
jacent communes, who summoned the fort to surrender,
and were preparing to attack it by force. The materiel
and ammunition were considerable.

The citadel of Namur has been given up to-day.
Baron Stassart the Governor of the Province, accom-
panied by a great number of horsemen, went to fetch
Lieutenant-General Van Geen, who was escorted to his
residence in the city. M. de Stassart then returned to
the citadel at the bead of 2000 citizens, and hoisted the flag
of Brabant, which was saluted by a discharge of artillery.
The Dutch soldiers of the garrison left in the night, taking
the road to Luxemburg.

Atesirs. de Drinker; and Sarlet de Chokier, deputies
of Lemburg, have returned from the Hague.
The Provisional Government announces that a second
mission to Prince Frederick's bead-quarters has been as
fruitless as the first; the Prince still insists on the ex-
change en masse of all the prisoners we have taken, for
the few Belgian citizens who are prisoners to the Dutch ;
this is inadmissible.
The Provisional Government announces that Messrs,
Ducpetiaux, Plentinckx and Everard, who are in the psi.
son of Antwerp, are treated with humanity and attention,

THE INDEPENDENCE OF BELGIUM.
The Provisional Government, considering that it is of
importance to fix the future condition of Belgium, decrees—
). The provinces of Belgium, violently detauhed from
Holland, shall form an independent State.
2. The central committee will, us soon as possible,
draw up a plan of a Constitution.
3. A General Congress, in which the interests of the
provinces shall be represented shall be convoked. It will
examine the proposed Belgic Constitution—shall snottily
it where it is necessary, and will cause it to be executed in
all Belgium as the definitive Constitution.

The following are extracts from German and
Frankfort Papers, received this morning:—

numsit rausstA, SEII. 23.
Public Journals contain very different and incorrect
statements respecting the strength of the Prussian troops
already assembled in the provinces on the Rhine, or that
are expected there. According to the most credible ac-
counts, in addition to the corps of Rhenish Prussia, those
of Saxony and Westphalia will ha quartered in those pro-
vinces. The amount of each corps without the reserve
which- is .not with them, cannot be taken at more than
13,000 or 14,000, which would make a total of 12,000
men. The fortreans en the Belgic frontier have strong
garrisons ; for instance, Malmedy, the garrison of which
has been reinforced to the amount of 1,300 men. Since
the disturbances of Aix-la•Chapellc, a few weeks Apo
public tranquillity has not been for a moment interrupted
then.

The situation of Verviera is very gloomy. The general
insecurity of property, the high ptice of raw materials, and,
lastly, the pecuniary embarrassments of many manufactu-
rers, particularly of those who carried on their business in
port with the and of foreign capital, and whom the failure of
the house of Rigoud has deprived of every resource, have
been- obliged partly to limit and partly to suspend their
operations they have in consequence discharged many
thousand worktnen, and these people, without bread and
without employment, again endanger the public tranquil-
lity. In order to get rid of them as well as possible, they
have been advised to go to Brussels, where their aid may
soon be necessary to maintain the newly acquired free-
dom. Some money has been given them to support them
by the way.

The French Papers give full particulars of an
animated speech made by M. ETIENNE in the
Chamber of Deputies on the suppression of all
Jesuitical influence throughout France. The
speaker gave a spirited sketch of the character
of these designing priests, of their insatiable am-
bitinu, their matchless duplicity, their shrewd-
ness, their despotism, and their utter destitution
of all public principle ; and in allusion to their
influence during the reign of CHARLES the
TENTH, observed, that « by degrees they ob-
tained the distribution of every favour and every
office, and, infusing their poison into the Royal
cradle, and down
.to the lowly crib of the cot-

tape, it may be truly said that they had ob-
tained universal influence till the 25th of July
came, to prove that they had attained absolute
power. The terrible fall they then experienced
ought not to cause the Government to be supine
as to their projects, which, it is well known, are
never relinquished. They ever tend to re-
unite their- scattered remnants, even when ap-
parently annihilated. The society resumes its
form and consistence by degrees—it continues
to watch every weak point—discovers, excites,
and foments every discord, and where it can-
not dominate, conspires secretly. The fallen
Government fostered it with every care, be-
cause it was a fellow-conspirator. It bends
itself with wonderful ability, and exercises
its delusions equally on both Kings and
people. In proportion as it was the ac-
complice of the fallen Government, which it
had entirely subjugated, and with which it
marched to the violent destruction of our liber-
ties, so will it be the more inveterate enemy of
an authority founded upon rights that are most
hateful in its sight." France can never be looked
on as altogether tranquil, so long as these subtle
religious politicians are allowed to possess the
slightest influence in the kingdom. They
should be stripped of all power, and that with
energy and promptitude, or they will yet,
detected as their evil machinations are now,
and have been for years, be the means of in-
flicting incalculable mischief on the Govern-
ment and the people. From their very first
formation, as a sect, they have ever been restless,
intriguing, and unprincipled. It is high time
to grapple with and strangle this hydra-headed
monster. On the subject of the Press the Mi-
nister of the Interior observed that he should
shortly bring a measure under discussion, not
for a general legislation of the Press, but merely
for a change of jurisdiction. And surely not
before it is wanted, for however free comparatively
speaking, the French Press may be, it has not
even yet acquired that degree of freedom to which
it is entitled, if' it can expect to be beneficial to
the country ; neither is it altogether so free, as
it ultimately might be made under the superin-
tending activity of a new Chamber. With re-
gard to the Corn Laws, M. GUIZOT remarked,
By the present legal prices, no corn can
come in by the southern frontier. The
project of law proposes a diminution of five
francs on the duties of importation, and
this measure appears to inc sufficiewt to ensure a
considerable importation of Corn." Ws hope
that in the ensuing session of Parliament, the
oppressive monopoly of the Corn Laws will be
looked into with as much fairness and activity as
seems now to be the case in the French Chamber
of Deputies.
By the Dutch Papers we find, that the KING
has closed the States-General, and appointed a
Commission to draw up the legal enactments
which must be necessary to make those changes
in the fundamental law, and in the existing re-
lations between the two great divisions of the
kingdom, which the interest of the whole re-
quire. The Provisional Government will not
now, we suspect, he inclined to pay much re-
spect to any measures that this Commission
may think fit to. propose. The time for cour-
tesy and conciliation is past.
A correspondent in the Times states that the
Prussian Government has resolved to imitate
France in abstaining from all interference with
the Belgian affairs.
