BRUSSZLS, OCT. 22, SEVIIN P. M.
" Lieut.-Col. Niellon having made a levy en tease of
the brave Carnpinois, resolved on the 21st, at ten in the
morning, to drive the enemy from the positions which be
occupied on the left bank of the Nithe towards Lierre.
He attacked him briskly, drove him from all his positions,
and pursued him to a considerable distance on the road to
Antwerp. The enemy, in hie retreat, abandoned all his
camp equipage. Hie loss in killed and wounded was very
great. Not a Dutchman is to he seen within two leagues
of Lierre. Ile column of Malines, after having► repaired
the bridge of %Ann, followed the enemy in hie retreat,
continually barrassing him. Our brave volunteers had
taken a position at Contech to-day at four in the afternoon.

Chief of the Belgian army, NYPELS."

The Project of the Constitution, as definitively drawn
up is to be delivered to the Provisional Government this
morning. it seems that a deputation has come from
Mons to ask the Provisional Government for permission to
bring hither, under an escort, General Don Juan Van
Helen, accused of treason ; it has been resolved that the
accused shall remain imprisoned at Mona, where he shall
be tried and judged.
The day before yesterday several malefactors were arrested
in this city,

uzat, out, 22.

The troops that left our city yesterday and the day before
are encamped about Maestricht ; there is great fermenSa--
tion in that town. The Dutch troops are quite demo-
ralised, and at the least ho'tile demonstration on our aide

it is almost certain that there would he a contest between
the soldiers and the citizens. Our troops, ott the contrary,
are full of entlitisium, and the country people come from
all quarters to join them,

ANTWERP, OCT. 22.
The Staats Courant untiouticen that the King, by a
decree of the 20th, accepts the resignation of the Duke
of Ursel, Memo. De la (hate, and Van Gobblaschroy.
We have spoken of manoeuvres carried on in this city
to excite disturbances and organise pillage—an active in-
vestigation is going on,
Our situation is terrible ; it is impossible to hold out.
Threatened and tormented within and without, we do not
know which way to turn. Every body asks " What will
he come of us ?" This is not an idle question, as it lately
was ; it hat ho* a itieaning Which effector every body.
Commerce is in a state of deplorable stagnation.
Fur some days past there has been frequent fighting in
the environs. We have but to set a foot out of the city
to hear the roaring of cannon and a continual fire of mus-
ketry. It is a teal calatnity. God preserve us from the
evils that threaten us.--Journal du Commerce.
Breda is crowded with troops. All the volunteers from
Holland ere sent to that towh, where great preparations
for defence are making.
The 9th Regiment of Cuirassiers left Berchem to-day
to go to Breda:
The nth and tith Regiments of Misers ate gone to
Westwesel.
Yesterday afternoon, at five o'clock, the Fury, steam-
boat, belonging to the English Government, arrived with
despatches. On entering the Scheldt it encountered the
Dutch brig the Fiying Fish) which, not recognising the
Fury as an Friglith floverfinaent vessel ordered It to he
to, and on its refusal the Dutch brig fired a gun, and the
bell fell very near the Fury. The Thatch Captain after-
wards pretended that it was a mistake.
All ships bound for Ghent and Tremontle are stopped
by the rneu.of-war, and must remain here.
It seems certain that the Fury brought despatches for
the Convocation at the Hague, formed principally of the
Plenipotentiaries of England, France, and Prussia.
!Steam-boats are to ply regularly between Antwerp
and London.

IMUSSELN, OCT. 23.
A band of armed men have gone to attack and plunder
the chateau Of the Marquis de Trazegnies ; the latter, as.
sisted by the farmers of the neighbourhood and his do..
meetics, attacked the plunderers so vigorously, that they
were obliged to take flight, leaving several dead behind.

LULUS, OCT.. 22.
The States of the province of Limburg have just pub-
lished a notice, in which, conformable to the proclama-
tion of the Prince of Orange *f the 16th instant, they
acquaint the inhabitants of Limburg that they may freely
take part in the electoral operations!
Yesterday various reports were spread of an action be-
tween our troops and part of the garrison of Afaestricht.

The truth is, there he been no engagement. Our troops
have pushed their rMennoissances a league beyond Maes-
tricht. A reinforcement will go to-morrow to join them.

ANTWERT, OCT. 23.

Three gun-boats that were anchored at 'lupe] have re-
turned to-day, and are in sight of the town. A Dutch
steam-boat, said to be the Curacao, has just arrived from
Flushing. It is come to tow the men-of-war.

The Dutch garrison of Tremonde arrived here yester-
day, and embarked immediately for Flushing. The steam-
boat from Rotterdam arrived here yesterday evening with
200 Belgian chasseurs on board. A great number of
Belgian officers bare resigned, and are preparing to set
out for Brussels.

BRUSSELS, OCT. 24.
The Dutch troop continue to retre2t towards Antwerp.
A detachment of 40 Belgian volunteers having ap-
proached the House of Correction of St. Bernard, which
was guarded by several hundred Dutch, succeeded in
making these troops capitulate, with liberty to return to
Holland after laying down their arms.

DRESPEN, OCT. 17.
Orders were given on the 10th to call out our contin-
gent. It is said that the half of it (6)000 men) will be
placed at the disposal of the German Diet.

CONSTANTINOPLE, SEPT. 25.

We are now better informed of the affairs of France,
And cannot express the astonishment and alarm of all
classes of the Franks in this city, especially of the mer-
chants of all ranks. Great want of confidence in commer-
c'al affairs is manifest, arising fiom fear of ev, nts that may
soon happen. Instructions have indeed been received by
most of the European diplomatic and commercial agents,
informing them that there is at present no probability
of a war between France and the other Powers; but the
first shock made too great an impression to be soon received.
Count Guilletninot takes pains to assure every body that the
foreign relations of France will remain unchanged. That
the new Government considers it as its just duty to gain
the confidence of other States, and while it is conciliating
its own Constitution to maintain a peace with all the
Powers. Yet some affirm that the Consul himself is not
wholly persuaded of the truth of these assurances, and
that he wishes to withdraw for a time from public affairs.
As for tke Porte, it cares little about the affairs of Europa,
when they do not iinnu diately affect it, and were not
Tahir Pacha so angry at being sent from Algiers, and at
the issue of his negociations, the great events in France
would hardly have been mentioned in the Divan.
We know but little about the Greeks. Capo D'lstria
has an active correspondence with the Ambassadors here,
and it is probable he will not remain much longer in
Greece. He is said to have lately lost almost all con-
fidence with his countrymen, and to be convinced that he
cannot maintain it without great pecuniary resources or
military force, neither of which he has.

Redschid Paella is getting the upper hand in:all Albania,
and takes one fortress after another : the advantages gained
by him may even prove dangerous to the Greeks, if, in con-
sequence ofthe latechanges, the London Protocol should be
regarded with indifference, and not enforced with energy.
The Sultan is wholly engaged with the organization and
training of the regular troops.

In the last number of the Foreign Quarterly
Review, there is an article entitled " The Bel-
gian Revolution," which gives a clearer insight
into the cause of the present disagreements be-
tween the Flemings and the Dutch than any
document (and we have met with many more
elaborate and assuming) we have yet perused
on the subject. The writer, we should pre-
mise, avows himself a. friend to liberty, that
is, to a rational form of Government, suited to
the temper of the times, and harmonizing with
the character and necessities of the people,
and proceeds to shoti—not by assertions but
by facts, those most convincing of all argu-
ments—how far the Dutch Administration of
Holland has been found wanting in every re-
quisite necessary to ensure it the affections
of the people. It is an old story, and has
been a hundred times repeated, that the taxes
have been unequally divided between Holland
and Flanders ; but it is yet, we believe,
to be generally known how invidious was
the mode of collecting them in Belgium
—how repulsive the process—how insulting
and intolerant the conduct of the collectors !
Then too the mode of representation ! Nothing
could be more unfair or preposterous than the
manner in which the representation in the States-

General was shared between Holland and Bel-
gium. The former was over-represented, the
latter under-represented. " The right," says
the writer of the article in question, " which
should have bean, above all, accorded to the
country, is a representation based upon the
population of the provinces, that is to say,
a Legislative Chamber composed of 66 Belgic
Members, and 44 Dutch, and not of 55
Belgians and 55 Dutch. This obvious in-
equality in the representation is the source
of almost all the injustice ,shich has been com-
mitted. The Dutch King, Dutch Ministers,
and their 55 Dutch Members, have sadly out-
matched the 55 Belgians, amongst whom many
national causes of disunion or desertion would
arise." Add to these vexations, the shackles
perpetually attempted to be thrown upon the
Belgian Press, while that of Holland was

left comparatively free ; add also the ap-
pointment of VAN MAANEN to the chief
office in the State, with liberty to act the
despot over Flanders—this VAN MAANEN be-
ing a Minister fit only for the days of Louts
XIV., when " passive obedience" and " divine
right" were the orthodox doctrines of the day—
let any one to whom, by the blessing of Pro-
vidence, has been imparted a tythe of com-
mon sense, but reflect on these various
national grievances, and he will be- no longer
at a loss to find a justification for the
present wholesale defection of the Flemings.
We will confess that the Foreign Quarterly
Review has cleared up *many points which
we before considered obscure in the Brus-
sels revolution, as well as triumphantly made out
its case—the necessity, the stern imperious
necessity, of a separation between Holland and
Belgium. How that separation may terminate
—what form the new Government of Flanders
may assume, it is impossible in the present state
of affairs to predict ; should it be Monarchical
we hope the Belgians will look well to their
privileges; should it be Republican, that they
will see the necessity of candour, moderation,
and common sense, and above all avoid the ro-
mantic propositions of visionary philosophers
and half-witted demagogues.

We have this morning received a file of the
Bengal Chronicle, from which we give the fol-
lowing extracts:—
