LONDON,
WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 6, 1830.

This day, at two o'clock, the LORD MAYOR,
attended by the SUERIFES and RECORDER,
went in state to St. James's, to know his MA-
JESTY'S pleasure na to when be would honour
the► City by dining with the Corporation.
His M4JESTY was graciously pleased to ap-
point the 9th of November. His MAJESTY
has not dined at Guildhall since the memorable
time when the chandelier fell on the head of
the Duke of CLARENCE, and SUMO others
of the Nobility who surrounded the Low)
',WA you. The equipage of the new Sheriffs was
remarkable for its splendour.

His AJESTY liehl a Privy Council this day
at James's Palace, which was attended by all the
Ministers and great Officers of State. It is
rumoured that several changes in the Adminis-
tration are about to take place. Sir GEORGE
MURRAY, it is said, leaves the Colonial De-
partment, and is to succeed Lord HILL as Com-
mander of the Forces. We have not beard
who is to be Sir GEoutim's successor.

The German and Flanders Papers contain
matters of muds interest. The Journal de lu
Belgique, of Monday, stales that the Commis•
siontus of the Provisional Government have just
addressed a proclamation to the inhabitants o
jossmay, announcing-.the surrender of the vita,

del, and desiring them to respect the Dutch
soldiers. The same authority adds, that M.
NIELLON, Commander of the Free Corps, had
an engagement on the 30th of September with a
corps of Dutch troops near Mcerbeck, two
leagues from Louvain. The battle lasted from
one till five• in the afternoon. The Free Corps
seem to have had the advantage. According to
the Courier de la Sambre, Prince FREDERICK,
after his retreat from Brussels, proposed the ex-,
change of all the prisoners en masse on both
sides, but did not agree to any other terms. The
Provisional Government declined this proposal.
Intelligence, received by way of Ghent, mentions
that the Brabant flag is hoisted on the town-hall,
that the fortresses of Bergen-op-Zoom, Bois-le-
Duc, Gnaw, and Nimeguen, are going to be put
in a state of defence ; that the garriSon of Niel'.
port has laid down its arms, and that most of the
troops are gone home. By the Journal du
Gand, dated October 4th, we learn that a
division of grenadiers entered Antwerp on- the
night of the third. Altogether this Belgian
revolution is a most complicated affair, and one
that teems with hazard to the peace of the con-
tinent. Let it end when or whichever way it
will, it cannot fail to put the RheniSh provinces
of Prussia in jeopardy, and expose the political
virtue of France to sad temptition. The follow.
ing are extracts :---

NROM THURINWA, REPT. 24.

We are sorry to learn that, notwithstanding the send-
ing of a Government Commission, no tranquillity is yet
to be expected at Jena. The well disposed citizens, and
the members of the university and the students, have,
however, quickly formed themselves into a Burgher
Guard, in order to oppose to the utmost any such excesses
as lately occurred in Chemnitz and Altenburg. In case
more vigorous measures should become necessary, but
which the Government of Wiemar will not employ unless
it is compelled to do so, a considerable military force is
collected and quartered in Wiemar and its environs.
Excesses have taken place also at Sulza, where two
officers of the police who were obnoxious to the people
were personally insulted, and a riot ensued. Commis-
sinners have been sent to that place also.

If under such circumstances fears were entertained for
Wiemar itself this may he excused, since the fact that it
has been ascertained that the otherwise 60 loyal subjects
of the Duchy of Wiemar, as well as those of the neigh-
bouring States, have been misled and deceived by the emis-
saries of a faction.

A letter which the Municipal Council of the city of
Wiemar has canted to be circulated, and which was written
by Baron Von Seckentlorf, at Reichenbaelt, in Voigland,
to a person high in office at Wiemar, gives to all the well
disposed inhabitants of Saxony, Thuringia, and indeed of
all Germany, the clearest indications respecting that
wicked association which is at work in the dark to pro-
duce anarchy, the traces of which were first discovered at
Altenburg, and its horrible plans detected. The citizens
of Altenburg have found means to seize, by a stratagem,
three of the ringleaders in the troubles in that city ; they
were conveyed to the fortress of Leuchtenberg, near
Kahle. A detachment of Prussian soldiers, a company
of the 24th Regiment coming from Erfurt, fetched them
away in the night of the 21st. It is said that one indivi-
dual is u member of the society above alluded to, and
.belongs to a distinguialied fa►nily in Prussia. A basket-
maker, who was the most daring among the rioters at
Altenburg, surnamed from his Herculean stature the
'" Mturaniello of Altenburg," is one of the persons arrested.
HANAILT, SEPT. 28.
His Highness the Hereditary Prince arrived yesterday
at Wilhelnethad, and immediately came into the town,
where he was welcomed by the acclamations of all the
inhabitants. Ile was pleased to address the multitude in
the most affable manner, and in the kindest terms assured
them' that the grievances of the citizens should be re-
dressed. His Highness Said, "lam a citizen and a friend
to the citizens." These words charmed everybody. The
Prince pitied the night in the Palace.

HANOVER, BEI4. 22.
The Royal Ch%rnber of Domainsauspentled, on the 13th
of this month, throughout the kingdom the sale of corn
from the magazines, it being his Majesty's intention to re-
serve it for times of scarcity, if they should occur, in
order to be able to supply the poor with corn at a mo-
derate price.
(From the Journal de la Belgique of Monday, Oct. 4.)
'BRUSSELS, OCT. 3.

The ceremony which took place yesterday in the Place
St. Michael, of the consecration of the last asylum of the
brave men who fell in the defence of liberty and their counv y
during the four days of September, wits as striking as fertile
in subjects of profound meditation. An immense train cm.
posed of the clergy of all the parishes, in all their sacer-
dotal paraphernalia, of the members of the Provisional Go-
vernment, of all the civil and military authorities, pre-
ceded and followed by detachments qf the volunteers of
Liege Merles, and other towns of Belgium, lately arrived
from Paris, &c., and accompanied by an innumerable crowd,
proceeded slowly from the church of St. Gudule to the
place of sepulture. There, in the midst of the most pro-
found attention of the persons present, the yoke of the
priest invoked the blessing of heaven on the spot which
was destined to receive the remains of our worthy fellow
citizens, and to perpetuate the recollections of sorrow and
of glory. After the consecration De-VandewcyCr spoke a
few words in perfect unison with the feelings by which
everyboly was inspired.
We learn that the amount of the collection made yester-
day in the church of St. Gudule for the relief of the
wounded was 250 florin, (about 20/.)
This morning Te Demo was ?informed at St. Gudule
for our late victories.
The Commissioners of the Provisional Government
have Just addressed a proclamation to the brave inhabitants
of Tournay, announcing the surrender of the citadel, and
desiring them tUrespect the Dutch soldiers.
M. Niellon, Commander of the free corps, gives an
account of an engagement which he had on the SOth of
September, with a corps of Dutch troops near Meerbeck,
two leagues from Louvain. The battle lasted from one
till five in the afternoon. Niallon had 350 men with two
pieces of cannon ; the Dutch had 3,500 men. The pea»
stints say they had 60 killed and wounded ; the free corps
which took part in the action, with the moveable fore* of
Louvain, had two killed and five wounded. At night-
fall the volunteers returned to Louvain. • This action
showed the Dutch were not afraid to attack them on
the plain.

'The Courrier de la Sombre announces, that on the
let instmt the people 'came to blow* With the trove in
Namur, who are statid to have fired without the least pro.
vocation on come of the inhabitants who were crocaing the
market-place without arms, of whom three are said to have
heen killed. The citizens czasperated, attacked the troops,
who returned to the rampart gates which are strongly for.
tilted, and tired grape-shot on the citizens. After come
desperate fighting, General Van Chen consented on the
following *ley to evacuate the town, and retired into the
citatle'. Everything belonging to government, cannon,
aininonition, Bcc. remained in possession of the citizens.
The 14:anomie had thirty killed ; the loss of the soldicis
is also considerable.

The Magistrates are going to communicate with the
Provilionat Government at Drossy

The national colours were hoisted at Menlo on the first
of oi:hitter ; the soldiers put ell the posts in the possession
of the inhabitants.

The Provisional Government has published the report
of M. de Gamow!, who wog vent to Price Frederick to
treat for the exchange of Messrs. Dttepetiattx, Pletinclu,
and Evrard. The Prince proposed the exchange of all
the prisoners en mane on both aide', and would not agree
to any other terms. The Provisional Govetnntent haa de•
chnetl this proposal.

OCT. 2.
The Bth regiment of Hussars and the Alarechaussee set
out this moment for Antwerp. The troops now in this
citadel ere composed of three battalions of the 17th and
three of the tithllivittion; When the soidieri of the 17th
saw this morning from the bastion of the citadel the tri-
coloured flag hoisted on the steeple they waved the it yap,
and, notwithstanding all the efforts of the 6th division,
cried—" The 'Belgians for ever."

We learn that Yesterday a meeting of the notables of the
city of Ghent assembled to deliberate on the trossures to
be adopted under present circurnstnees : a committee was
chosen among them to go to the city comMittee and in-
quire what it had resolved. The latter stated that this
mereing,the tricoloured flag would be hoisted at six
Wein& in the presence of the Burgher Guard, anti that
three of its members would to-day go to Brussels to ac-
knowledge the Provisional Government.
A Brabant flag was hoisted this morning im the Town-
WI. This event, which has been impatiently expected

for some days, was answered by the ringing of the great
411.—Catholique.
The fortresses of Bergen-op-zoom, Bois le Due, Groove,
and Nimeguen, are going to he put in a state of defence.
The garrison of Nieuport has laid down its arms; most
of the troops are gone home.
LIEGE, OCT. 2.

We have the pleasure to announce the return of M.
Gerlache, one of our Deputies to the States-General. He
left the Hague with several of his colleagues after the
Chamber had voted on the two questions.
Couriers arrive at the Hague every moment, but only
insignificant bulletins are published. The Ministers, Van
Gobbelschroy and Lacoste, have run great danger : they
are accused of having advised the Prince of Orange to his
visit to Brustels. The Commercial Guards are every
where put in motion ; there are hardly any troops in Hol-
land. Amsterdam is in great agitation.

(From the Journal du Gaud, Oct. 4. )
GHENT, OCT. S.

It is said that in consequence of differences between ;he
Dutch and Belgian soldiers our citadel will be shortly
evacuated.

The Journal du Commerce des Pays lies, Of 2d Octo-
ber, says—
" The corps of General Count Hielegers has not been
able to effect its junction with that of Prince Frederick.
"The division of grenadiers entered Antwerp last night.
," The formation of a line of operations from Antwerp
to Miestrecht is spoken of."
Le Beige says, the following news has been communi-
cated to us, but we do not warrant its authenticity. A
General who arrived at Antwerp on the 29th, in the
evening, announced to General Cliass6, that the King had
declared, "He would rasher lose all Belgium than that
the city of Brussels should be put to fire and sword, and
that he will not haVe the blood of so many innocent per-
sons abed for a band of rebels." That all the demands
made by the Belgians are granted by his Majesty; that the
Hereditary Prince is named Viceroy, and will reside at
Brussels • arid that a Proclamation to this effect is in the
press at the Hague.
Philippeville surrendered the day before yesterday, at
nine in the evening ; the garriso», of 1,200 men, was
ordered to march against an assemblage of 150 citizens,
who advanced, crying "Liberty for ever !" The Go-
vernor ordered the soldiers to fire; but they refused, and
joined the citizens. The garrison immediately put on the
Brabant cockade, and continued to do duty as usual.
The tri-coloured flag was hoisted at Fumes on the 29th.

As the time appointed for the meeting of
Parliament approaches, the Reformers, we are
glad to perceive, are beginning again to bestir
themselves. Mr. BROUGHAM and the West-
minster Review have led the way ; several pro-
vincial towns (Birmingham especially) have fol-
lowed; and now the important commercial district
of Manchester is in the field. An animated
meeting on the subject of Radical Reform was
held near this latter place on Monday last, when
some homely but sound and forcible truths were
uttered by many of the speakers. Mr. JOHN
KNIGHT, in particular, delivered himself with
much good sense and with considerable effect,
though, if instead, of giving a sketchy outline, he
had gone more into detail on the fruitful ques-
tion of the country's embarrassments, he would
have been listened to with deeper attention. We
trust that every city, town, and borough throughout
the kingdom, will now press the question of
Reform on the consideration of his MAJESTY'S
Ministers, for unless some such urgent entreaties
are resorted io, unless the people show that they
are really in earnest on the subject, moreover
that they are determined to adopt every constitu-
tional means for seeing themselves righted, no-
thing, it is self-evident, will be attempted. Day
by day the necessity fora temperate and rational
change in the reFresentation becomes more pal-
pable ; what was before doubtful is now clear as
the noon-tide sun ; thanks to the convincing
practical arguments of those sapient borough-
mongers, the Duke of NEWCASTLE, the Mar-
quis of EXETER, and that paragon of gentle-
ness and docility, my Lord HUNTINGTOWER.
These are the patriots who are just now doing
their best to promote the cause of Reform, by
illustrating in their own conduct the absurd
tyranny of the present system. To these
illustrious three, we believe we may add a
fourth, on the authority of the Boston Gazette.
" Discharges," says this Journal, " of various
kinds to quit possession of lands, tenements, and
hereditaments, have been flying about during the
last week amongst the tenants of Lord YAW.
BOROUGH, at Grimsby. If this be a system of
intimidation, we are assured that his Lordship
will find it a failure." We hope so, anti in
the long run there cannot be a doubt of it. The
Boroughtnongers have had their day, and that
day is now fast setting. Sooner than allow them
longer to continue their monopoly, it is better
for the country to call unanimously for the ballot,
which, though it has many objections, as we
have before observed, is yet ten thousand times
preferable to the present electioneering system.
A letter from a respectable correspondent in
Stamford gives a lamentable account of the state
of that town, which goes far to prove that the fur-
ther existence of the Boroughmongeringsystem is
wholly incompatible with the welfare of England.
We should not omit to add, that the tri-colour
—an emblem of awful import to these monopo-
lists--made its appearance at the Manchester
meeting.

By the Bermuda mail, we have Papers this
morning from that island to the 22d August.
Tha only information they convey is that the
Officers of the Customs had received orders to
discontinue the collection of the duty of 71. per
tun heretofore levied on all French wines, and to
charge the duties imposed by Act 6 GEo. IV.,
cap. 11.1, upon such wines in future.

We have late commercial advices from Monte
Video. Flour, during the months of June and
July, had undergone little variation in price.
No importations of brown cottons had been
made for some time, but the,price had not ma-
terially varied. Wines and spirit commanded
a ready sale, and the supplies had been short.
01 sweet Malaga there was none in the market,
and 110 dollars per pipe could be eaaily obtained.
Windsor chairs were wanted, and were worth
26 to 60 dollars per dozen. Tar, spirits, tur-
pentine, and linseed oil were also in request,
and a small quantity would do well. Provisions
were only saleable in small quantities. Leaf

THE FUNDS.-(THIS. DAY.)

CITY, TWELV.E O'CLOCK.

Halifax and Lisbon mails have arrived, the former
sailed 12th September•, and the tat►er left 19th September.
By the former New Brunswick Papers to the 6th Sep-
tember, and Prince Edward Island Papers to Ist Septem-
ber, have been received at the North and South. American
Coffee-house.

(From the New Brunswick Paper of the 4th September.)
TRADIE.It is with pleasure we state, notwithstanding
the many complaints of the dullness of trade and scarcity
of the circulating medium, there will be a greater number
of large sized houses built in this town this year than any
of the preceding years. The amount of imports and ex-
ports for the Midsummer quarter is greater, and the amount
of duties paid during that period, both at he Customs and
Treasury, far exceed the corresponding quarter of any pre-
vious year.

The Halifax Royal Gazette contains Sir Peregrine
Maitland's proclamation, dissolving the House of Assembly
of Nova Scotia.

His Majesty's ship Blanche arrived at Halifax in a
wrecked and (Unlimited state from Jamaica.

The. Prince Edward Island Papers state that the flag of
the garrison was kept flying at half-mast for seven days, as
a mark of respect to the memory of his late Majesty, and
sixty minute guns were fired.
LIVERPOOL, OCT. 4.—We have had an unusually dull
week in British Plantation Sugar, the sales amounting
scarcely to 100 hhds. Prices remain as last quoted. The
public sales of Coffee have gone off this week with spirit at
an advance on the inferior ; good and fair ordinary kinds
are at an advance of 2s. to 31. per cwt. The demand for
Cotton in the early part of the week was brisk, mad Liwer
descriptions of Americans improved 0. per lb.
Several cargoes of pine timber have arrived during the
week, and the demand from the country having in some
degree fallen off has caused the article to be rAtlier
