SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 2, 1830.

A Cabinet Cottucil was held at the Foreign
Office this day, at three o'clock. The Council
was attended by all.the Ministers in town.

" We hear of notes sent by the Cabinets of

We perceive by the Irish Papers the Earl
O'NitILL, has been unceremoniously removed
from the management of the Post-office,, and
that.the direction of that department„althbugh
it has not passed into new, has fallen into the
distinct and tmcontrouled hands of Lord
it°4l; the late junior colleague of Lord
UNtit.t. We are not disposed to cavil-at
thia measure at present, however injudicious we
mad
do consider it 'to be ; for as the sta-
tut°, wit now exists, requires that the office of
Postmaster General shall continue, we presume

he has been so long the executive head. That
he is deserving of it, we appeal to the following

page. 1 is the following passage
" The delay to which we have 'alluded), togetbel
with our unavoidable absence from the seat of busi-
ness, which is the subject of our, remarks, mu,t
obviously have a disadvantageous effect on the pre-
paration of oar Report, both as regards the general
accuracy and Witco' of its details, and also the
applicability of our observations to the actual shay
of the business, or to the conduct of the individuals
to which they relate, although these advantages
have been in a tra,etial degree remedied by the
prompt and satisfactory manner in which all our
requisitions for documents, or other official informa-
tion, have been attended to by the Secretary to the
Department."
And again, in pages 16 and 17,.
" Under these circumstances, we have only to
express our entire concurrence in the opinion of the
Commissioners of Fees and Gratuities as to the ob-
jectionable nature of the system of Administration
thus described; although we should at the same time
state our conviction that no responsibility or blame
can in this respect fairly attach to the individual by
whom the dice of Secretary has been held during
the whole of the period to which the above applie-.
We have reason to know Sir Edward Lees has for
many years strongly felt the inconveniences of the
system; and the difficulties under which he has heti'
placed in the execution of the ordinary duties of his
office, from the want of that constant and confiden-
tial communication between him and his principals,
(which is so indispensable to the due execution of
those duties,) are strongly insisted upon in the ob-
servations of the Secretary on the office of Postmas-
ter-General, to which we have already referred;
indeed, the evidences of these difficulties so perpe-
tually recur in the course of his examination, that it
appears to have been only by great zeal and exertion
that he has been enabled to maintain a degree of re-
gularity and subordination in the establishment, suf.
ficient to carry on the ordinary business of his office,
in such a manners& to afford very general satisfaction."
The above are isolated extracts. But, in-
deed, we can say with truth, that there is scarcely
a page of the 94, of which the Report consists,
that does not, by direct reference to his evidence
and his opinions, bear ample and gratifying tes-
timony of thee high sense entertained by the Com-
missioners of the efficiency, the zeal, and the
indefatigable industry in the discharge of the
duties of this valuable officer.

At a late hour, this afternoon, we received
Flanders Papers, The following are extracts
(From the Journal la Belgique of Thursday, Sept. 30.)
Yesterday passed over quietly. The troops are retiring
towards ViNord', and passed the preceding night at La-
vanthem and the adjoining dominions. Their retreat,
however, appears to be cut off, for the bridge of Walden,
and some others, have been burnt by the country people. A
regular system of defence is organized in Brussels, and will
soon place our city in security against any future attack.
Yesterday afternoon a Colonel, who was sent from
Holland to take the command of the town of Ath, and
two other officers, who were all three made prisoners On
the submission of the garrison of that town, arrived here.
Yestel day and to-day, a great number of volunteers, soldiers,
and three pieces of cannon have arrived from Atli. The

Al. Nicolay, of the Interior, and Af. Coghen, of Finance ;
Messrs. Gendehien, Vanderveyer, and tie Potter, compose
the Central Committee. This forms the Govern
went, 'and with the other Committee constitutes
the Council. Abutularice of provisions coins frOm the
neighbouring towns end villages. Nutrietous offers are
"made Of cattle, money, powder and ball ; and our city is
secured against the fears which might: be caused by the
number-of strangers now hers, with respect to its supply
'of provisions.
Von" hieinen is appointed Governor of South Bra-
bant, and was installed yesterday in the Hotel of the Go-
vernment.

A report is in circulation that there are disturbances in
Holland, and that:the ancient Stadtholdership is demanded.
A notice from the Provisional Government announced the
return of M. de Potter, and that he has become one of the
members of the Government.
P. S. We have this instant received information that
Mons and Tournay have surrendered.

announces that the news which he has received this night
from the head-quarters at Dieghem, dated the 28th, says,
that " the national troops occupy the same positions, and
that nothing important has passed since yesterday's report."
He takes this opportunity to express his satisfaction , to
the Burgher Guard of the city of Ghent, for their effectual
co-operation in maintaining tranquillity yesterday evening,
at the moment when some illsdisposed persons attempted to
excite disorder.
