London, England, 1830-09-28 00:00:00

herefore prevails relative to the events which took
place on the 22d and 23d at Brussels. We can
offer no other information but what has been ob-
tained from travellers who have arrived from the
frontiers, or from the interior of Belgium. Three
diligences generally arrive every_ dayin Paris; the
one which was expected at twelve o'clock bad not
come in this evening. The following is a sketch of
the contrAdictory accounts given by the passengers,
but we cannot vouch for their authenticity.
The travellers who have arrived from the depart-
ment of the North, assert that, upon the 23d, three
separate attacks were made upon Brussels by the
Dutch troops, but that they had been repulsed by
the citizens, and chiefly by a body of 2,000 Liegois ;
thao Prince Frederick had lost a number of men and
several pieces of artillery; that Brussels was block-
aded, and that it was impossible to enter or leave
that place, except to go to Liege. The whole
country between the Meuse and the Escaut is in the
posiession of the patriots.
Another traveller, who arrived from Ghent, by
the way of Lille, states that the palace of Prince
Frederick has been pillaged and burnt, and that
the 4iegois attacked, on the evening of the 23d,
a body of Dutch troops, and nearly cut them to
pieces.

A letter from the frontiers gives an indistinct ac-
count of an attack made upon the Dutch by a body
composed of 1.5,000 of the people of Brussels, and
add* that Prince Frederick was killed.

Another letter would have it believed that a con-
siderable number of Dutch troops went round to a
particular part of the town, forced a passage through
the var►ous obstacles that lay in their way, whilst
another body of their troops were making a sham
attack in an opposite quarter.
The conductor of a diligence arrived this evening
from Valenciennes, with passengers, who left
Brussels on the 24th, states positively that Prince
Frederick entered within the walls of Brussels at six
o'clock in the morning, but that lie was forced to
evacuate the town, after a deadly conflict.

The Government has received no intelligence.
Notwithstanding the positive contradiction given
by several of the Journals of this morning, the Re-
volution reiterates this evening, " That the Duke of
Orleans had intimated, through one of the ilouse-
hold, to the meeting of the Friends of the People,
held, on Wednesday, that an accident alone had pre-
vented him from attending them in person, and that
his intention was to be present upon a future occa-
sion." If this statement has not been altogether fa-
bricated by the editor, it must be confessed that
the confusion which reigns at those meetings would
not allow an opportunity of ascertaining who
were the persons entrusted with such a message to
the club.
(From La Quotidienne, Sept. 26.)

From the non-arrival of papers or letters from
Brussels this morning, it must be inferred that tran-
quillity is fur from being restored in that city.
During the entire of the day the most singular and
contradictory reports have been circulated—that the
people of Brussels had repulsed the Royal troops—
that Prince Frederick had been killed by one of the
Liege volunteers. Whatever may be the foundation
of these on dile, it appears certain that the Royal
troops entered Brussels on the night of Wednesday
or Thursday, and that the Members of the Pro-
visional Government had scarcely time to reach the
frontiers of France. This evening a report has been
given out that M. de Potter had arrived in Paris.
(From Le Temps of Sunday.)
EVENTS IN BELGIUM.

A traveller who arrived this evening has furnished
us with some details relative to the events which
have just taken place at Brussels. The Dutch army
entered Brussels on the 23d, at the upper part of
the town, and, without any opposition, took posses-
sion of the castle, the park, and the entire of the
Rue Royale ; from thence they proceeded towards
the lower part of the town, and advanced as far as
'the square of the Hotel de Ville, making themselves
masters successively of the barricades. 'But it ap-
pears; that the barricades, at this part, which en-
closed the square, were so strong and so boldly de•
fended, and so obstinate' was, the discharge of mus-
ketry from the top of the street, and from the
houses, that, after twelve hours' severe conflict, the
Dutch troops were obliged to retrace their steps.
Attacked again in the park ; and forced back even
into the King's Palace, they were under the'neces-
sity of demanding a capitulation. 'fire people re-
quire(' that they should yield at discretion—in con-
sequence of their refusal, a fresh attack took place,
and they were driven out of the town in the great-.
est confusion.

The Journal des Belot: denies in express terms
the report circulated yesterday of the supposed
changes in the Ministry. We have no motive for
contradicting this counter-statement, but we believe
it by far too positive.
It has been erroneously stated by one of the
Journalists, that the Duke of OrleanS had requested
permission to attend the meetings of the Society of
the Friends of the People.
M. le Lieutenant-General Ledru des Bouts, In-
spector-General of the Army, is at present actively
employed in raising several new regiments in Paris.
The Brussels Pspers have not come to hand this
morning ; those front Namur and Antwerp, which
we have received, contain no accounts of the last
events in the capital.
There was a report on the 19th at Toulon that
the despatches of General Clause!, which had come
by the steam-boat Le Nageur, are chiefly to demand
a considerable reinforcement, not for the purpose of
defending themselves from the attacks of the Arabs,
but with a view of forming a colony, and acquiring
as much advantage us possible from their late vic-
tory. It is said that the vessels which were ordered
to be dismantled were in expectation of a counter
order.

The body of Mr. EDWARDS, of Fleet-street,.
who was drowned last Monday week, while crossing from
Harwich to Ipswich, with his wife and the boatman, an
account of which was given in this paper on Thursday
last, was discovered floating near Livington, county of
Suffolk, and brought on shore, as was also the body of the
boatman, near the same spot where the ill-fated Mrs. E.
was found. An inquest was held on their bodies, when
the Jury, who had no other alternative, all the parties in
the boat having perished, returned a verdict of " Acci-
dentallyin consequence of the overturning of the
boat
tempestuous weather." The bodies of
oreeeio)ed drowned,iy
Mr. and Mrs. Itawattne were brought to town last night,
and deposited at their late residence In Fleet-street.
MADAM MARAo—..Previously
tohie resi-
dence in liath, Dr. lIAARINGTON lived at Wells; and one
day after dinner, whilst entertaining a circle of musical
friends, a German family came under his window, of whom
the father played the flute, the mother a guitar, aiirl
and a boy carried round the hat. The tones of the
girl's
voice, and her brilliant execution of a piece of music
they were well acquainted with, startled and delighted
them. The Doctor sent out to desire they would come
into the hell and repeat it: his family were now made'
partakers of his surprise and gratification. The Doctor,
whose heart was as open to the cry of necessity, as his ear
to the finest harmonies of llavnx, then inquired into the
circumstances of the family, and was informed that the
a Mr. Scuaeii.ueu, being disappointed of employ-
went
(lieri
n London, whither he had proceeded from the Con-
tinent, had been compelled to this itinerant resource, as
the only means of support. The Doctor could do little
for him at Wells, which was not a musical place, hut gave
him letters to some influential persons in. Barg, as a means
of procuring patronage to undertake a morning concert.
There the girl's abilities did not fail to divest the Doctor's
recommendation of its appearance of enthusiasm. She
was heard, wondered at,. and talked of; some amateurs
instantly tendered their services to carry the father's pro.
just into effect ; bills were printed, tickets issued and

IMPORTANT DECISION AT BRUSSELS.

CRIM. V. BARNWELL,

It must be fresh in the memories of our readers
that the above case wai tried at the sittings after last
Trinity Term, in the Court of Common Pleas, Westsnin-
ster, and averd ictgiven for the plaintiff with 3,0001. damages.
Subsequent to the trial the defendant left England for the
Continent, in company with the plaintiff's wife, and after
a temporary residence at Calais and Ostend proceeded to
Brussels, with an idea of making that place his permanent
abode. As soon as the plaintiff was informed of his
having left England, he immediately proceeded to Calais,
and there demanded satisfaction for the injury he had sus-
tained, offering to forego the advantages of the verdict, if
the defendant would meet him, but he declined meeting him.
The plaintiff then pursued him to Ostend, and inflicted
very severe personal chastisement on the defendant, which,
however, slid not lead to a duel, as he declined risking his
personal safety upon any terms. Ou the guilty parties
arriving at Brussels, the plaintiff applied to the Procureur
du Roi on the subject, producing legalized documents as
to his marriage, &c. Upon this evidence the parties had
their passports taken away, and were committed to prison to
abide the event of a trial for the commission of adultery
in the Netherlands, or rather for the continuation of crime
in that country. On the cause being beard before the
President and two Judges of the Cour Correctionnel at
Brussels, the defendant and plaintiff's wife were escorted into
Court by two Bens-d'armes, and placed on chairs
immediately facing the Judges. The plaintiff's
Counsel then examined the witnesses as to the crime
of adultery having been committed at Ostend and other
places in the Netherlands, anti contended with much ability,
and at great length, that the trial and verdict in England
had no reference whatever to the proceeding then before
the Court, which was a criminal one, at the instance of
the Procureur du Roi, in which the wife was equally re-
sponsible with the adulterer. Mr. Thornby, the plain-
tiff's attorney from London, then explained to the Presi-
dent and Judges, in the French language, the nature of the
proceedings in England, and that no divorce had yet been
pronounced between the parties in this country. On the
part of the defendants it was urged, that the plaintiff
had already obtained satisfaction by the verdict in England,
and that it was absolutely necessary, according to the
Dutch law, to prove the flagrante delicto before the parties
could be pronounced guilty. After the cause bad occupied
the Court two entire days, the President pronounced
his judgment in the Dutch language to the follow-
ing effect, viz. That the defendant and Mrs. Masters
be each imprisoned in separate apartments in the prison of
Brussels for six months, pay a fine of 600 florins, and all
costs of prosecution."
This cause created an intense interest in Brussels, as
well from the high respectability of the parties, as from
the fact that there are in that city at this moment
several persons similarly situated with the defendant,
several of whom were present in Court, heard the
judgment pronounced, and saw the guilty parties
conveyed back to prison escorted by gens-d'armes. We
are informed the King of Wind was applied to by
the defendant on the subject, and in consequence directed
the cause to be immediately tried on its merits. It is
added that according to the law of the Netherlands
the husband may, within twenty-four hours of the execu-
tion of the sentence, claim the custody of his wife, and
that he is authorised even to take her by force, and prevent
her associating with the defendant or any other person.

TALLEYRAND, in the early period of the Re-
volutionary war, having been compelled to quit Paris, re-
sided at a very humble lodging in the upper story of a house
in Woodstock•atreet, and afterwards in the neighbourhood
of Leicester-square; at the same time, M. Nactra, the
Minister of Louis XVI., his wife and daughter (Madame
nit SrAai.), lodged in an apartment on Ludgate-hill, front
the window of which they witnessed the Kix° going to
St. Paul's, to return thanks after his recovery from his first
illness.

We cannot admire the new practice of chair-
men at public dinners prefacing the King's health with a
speech— to say nothing of after-dinner orators being often
very bad ones—" The King" is a toast which always used
to speak for itself, and never was more likely to do so to all
hearts than in the person of our present Sovereign.--
Atoning Herald.

The Ex-King of FRANCE has, we understand,
just taken Wardour Castle; for which Lord AXUNDIL is
to receive 1,0001. per annum. The Ex-King does not,
however, take possession, nor is the bargain finally con-
chided, till he has again intelligence from Vienna, which it
is thought may induce him to quit this country altogether.

21.forning Herald,

• Among those who have been named as likely
to be raised to the Bench, in consequence of the forth-
corning appointment of three new Judges, the following
gentlemen are most generally mentioned :—Messrs. AL-
JARROW, PATTRSON, Roil J. WILLIAM; Serjekall LUD-
LOW and ItussiLL. Mr. CastrnELL, it is understood,
reserves himself for something higher.

The following trick is said to have been once
played by some Italians, on that most learned body the
Royal Society :.—Cutting off the spurs of a cock, they
made an incision between the eyes, in which they inserted
one or both of the spurs ; the wound healing by the first
intension, and the bird, thus transmogrified, was presented
to the sage. of Somerset-house as • species of the Galli
Corntai.

THE PRINCE OF CONDE.-.-It would seem
from the following paragraph, that the judicial inquiries
now going on relative to the Prince of Cosine, lead to the
conclusion that he has been murdered, and more than sus-
picion is thrown against a certain lady. The Tempe con-
tains the following :—" The details heretofore published on
the death of the Prince nt Comm; have not completely sack.
fled public opinion. There appears to be something strange
and mysterious in this event. The following details on the
subject have been communicated to us resulting from the ju-
dicial inquiry now taking place:--It is well known, that in
consequence of disappointment which the Prince had experi-
enced in some of his connexions, be had formed the reso-
lution of going abroad. Every thing had been prepared
for the journey. The sum of 200,000 francs had been
remitted to a foreign country. Forty thousand francs,
that had been provided in gold, were found in a leathern bag.
The post-horses were ordered for the day after that on which
the Prince was found dead. A secret door communicates
from the room of the valet-de-chambre to the Prince's
above, and a similar door communicates from the apart-
ment of a lady attached to the Prince, to that of the valet-
de-chamhre ; so that this door must have been known to
her. The position of the body also affords ground for the
most unfavourable inferences. The Prince was hanging
by his cravat, tied to the fastening of the window, but so
that hir feet, which touched the floor, supported a part of
his body, and his bent knees were two or three inches
from the ground. The cravat was not drawn tight,
there being room left for a hand to pas. between it
and the neck, and nothing indicated that the weight of
the body, supported as it was, could have caused strangula-
tion. A violent contusion, however, existed at the neck,
and the Prince's hands bore the marks of bruises. Again,
it is remarkable that the window-panes were nut broken,
which must have happened from the convulsions which al-
ways accompany this kind of death, if the tragical scene
had really taken place near the window. All these cir-
cumstances will give rise to a Strict investigation, which
will probably throw light on this mysterious event."
BATE DUDLEY one evening had been telling
a story to the Club, (" the Anacreontic") which he pur-
ported to be entirely new, and which caused a great deal
of laughter. Iftwannutz then observed, that the anec-
dote related by Mr. DUDLEY put him in mind of another
nearly as facetious. He then repeated some venerable
affair, which, whatever its point, bore no more resem-
Mance to Dunury's, than a white egg to a black hen.
When it was concluded, Duntrir turned to fluwanntwe
with a stare of surprise, and observed, "That was a very
humorous circumstance ; but I can't see how my anecdote
could remind you of it ?" "No !" said Tout. " Why,
I'll tell you,—your story is at the top of the leaf, page 17,
Mitt.Ea's old edition, and mine follows at the bottom !"

ESTIMATE OF CAPTAIN MEDWIN'S BOOK.
--The account given by Capt. Menwirs of the manner in
which Lord Ilvaosr spent his time in Switzerland, has
the raciness of his Lordship's own quaintness, somewhat
diluted. The reality of the conversations I have heard
questioned ; but they relate in some instances to matters
not generally known, to the truth of which I can myself
hear witness ; moteover they have much of the poet's pe-
culiar modes of thinking ;shoot them, though weakened in
effect by the reporter. No man can give a just represen-
tation of another who is not capable of putting himself into,
the character of his original, and of thinking with his
power and intelligence. Still there are occasional touches
of literit in the feeble outlines of Captain Menwns, and
with this conviction it would be negligence not to avail
myself of them.— Galt's Life of Byron.
