FRENCH PAPERS.
(From the Gazette tie France dated Friday.)
PARIS, SEPT. 23.—The Journal Le Beige, which has
been received to-day, contains the following article
" Bitussims, Saar. 22.—Yesterdly the whole morn-
ing passed over with the greatest tranquillity ; suddenly,
about half-past one o'clock, the drums beat to arms, the
tocsin was sounded, a numerous population hastened to
arms, and went out of the gates of Luken, Louvain, and
Namur. It was announced that troops were marching
against Brussels. The companies of Liege rushed forward
the first to meet them ; meantime numerous barricades
were erected every where within the city; men, women,
and children—every body worked at them with admirable
ardour, and many hundred persons marched after the or-
ganized companies to take the place of those who might
receive a mortal wound.

" They soon met with the troops upon an eminence
towards Ever, drawn up in order of battle ; two corps of
infantry, one drawn up in a square, the other in columns,
were separated, anti flanked by three corps of cavalry,
composed of lancers and dragoons; several pieces of can-
non were placed in batteries ; a brisk action commenced
along the whole line : the citizens placed as tirailleurs
o n courageouslyirLl marchers insensibly

to Dieghem, when the approach of night obliged them to
return towards the city.
"We have net time to-day to give an account of all the
acts of courage and patriotism which have come to our
knowledge. `VV e shall return to the subject.
" The city during the whole evening presented a most
animated scene. The barricades became mere numerous.
The streets were unpaved ; the women carried the stones
into the garrets. At midnight a fresh alarm summoned
every body to arms ; the tocsin was sounded in a great
many parishes ; a brisk fire of musketry was heard in the
direction of the Flanders, Schaerbeck, and Namur gates.
The cannonade was frequently mixed with it. We have
not been able to collect all the particulars of this affair
With sufficient correctness to give an account of it to-day.
The guard at the Lacken gate seized yesterday afternoon
several despatches upon a person who was in the mail-
' coach. It seem that they were of the greatest importance,
to judge by one of them which was opened."
" PARIS, Sxev. 23.—We have a letter from the camp
before Algiers, which states that on the 6th instant the
tri-coloured standards were delivered to the troops of the
first division. General Berthezene on delivering them
made the following speech :
" Soldiers of the Army of Africa,—The natural colours
have been restored to the army. Once more the tri-
coloured flag will shine at the head of our phalanxes. You
have not forgotten it, and the world still remembers that
it led them in the fields of Jetnappe, Fleurus, Rivoli, Ar-
cola, Marengo, Jena, Wagram, and a thousand other com-
bats equally famous, which render the military annals of
our age almost fabulous. For fifteen years this standard
was always victorious; for fifteen years it was for France
the emblem of power and of glory ; for fifteen years it ren-
dered our country the queen of the world. With it our
splendour disappeared, with it our power and our glory
were eclipsed, and France itself seemed to be effaced from
the list of nations. With this standard France rises again
strong anti great, and we shall be happy enough to see
her resume that rank among nations which her riches, the
bravery of her citizens, and their patriotism, assign her.
It imposes new duties upon us, and we shall know how
to fulfil them. I swear fidelity, &c."
It is said that M. de Barante will succeed M. de la Tour-
du-Pin as Ambassador at Turin, and Marshal Monier the
Duke de Mortetnart at St. Petersburgh.
(From the Journal des Debate of Saturday.)
PARIS, SEPT. 25.—This day and yesterday a great
number of petitions were signed at the Exchange, by the
leading merchants, who feel alarm at the existence of
illegal clubs, to which they principally impute the dete-
rioration of public credit and the sufferings of industry.
Similar petitions are now lying for signatures at the prin-
cipal notaries of Paris ; and this evening the most in-
fluential citizens will be engaged in carrying them from
street to street for the same purpose. Thus, will public
wisdom, without the concurrence of the authorities, put
an end to a disorder which the Government has the inten-
tion of repressing by the power of the laws.
A Journal has announced, that the Prince Royal de-
manded liberty to assist in the meetings of the Friends of
the People. The news is totally without foundation.
Nothing is known at this hour (midnight) of the corn.
position of the new Ministry ; the question is probably at
this moment in discussion. It appears certain at least that
a very important modification in the Cabinet will be
announced in the Moniteur of to-morrow. We mentioned
yesterday in what sense this modification will take place.
Many names have been already mentioned as coming in
and going out. The principal persons mentioned as likely
to compose the new Cabinet are Messrs. Lafitte, Odillon
Barrot, General ',marque, and M. I3ignon. It is like-
wise believed that the change of Ministry will accelerate
the dissolution of the Chamber.—Ls National.

Rumours of a change in the Ministry are this evening
confirmed. The Ministers of the Privy Council who
have deliberative voices, do not dissemble that their power,
without responsibility, was an anomaly in a constitu-
tioual Government. Some of them, among the rest Mon-
sieur Dupin, the elder, have, we are assured, sent in their
resignation. M. Lafttte consents, after much hesitation,
to accept the Portfolio of Finance ; General Sebastiani
will replace 111. Mole, for Foreign Affairs; M. Odillon
Barrot will succeed M. Guisot. Some say M. Bignon
will be the Minister of Marine ; others name Admiral
Duperre.
There is an uncertainty about the Ministry of Public
Instruction, which ought perhaps to be one of simple di-
rection. AIM. Dupont (de l'Eure) for Justice, and Gerard
for the War department, will remain. With respect to
the Chamber, some speak of its dissolution ; others, of
some additional articles to the provisional electoral law,
which will lower the rate of eligibility ; or at least extend
to all who are eligible, whatever their age, the abrogation
of the annual possession."—Le Constitulionnel.
The critical state of the Ministry during the last two
days has kept the public mind in continued alarm. It
was known that it threatened a division of men equally
able, firm, and influential, possessing in short every quality
required by the present situation of the country. It was con-
jectured to have arisen from the differences of opinion as to
certain popular societies, which have astonished Paris,
alarmed the departments, and threatened to degrade the
country. We have, however, the satisfaction of being
able to declare that all is terminated. Wise and good
citizens can never fail to come to a good understanding on
questions of a grave nature. Tho cabinet remains entire.
—Journal des Debafa. _

The 31;sitcur of this morning contains a Royal Ordi-
nance, appointing mayors to several departmental towns.
Many of the French Papers of this morning, in com-
mon with ourselves, notice the rumour of an early change
in the Ministry, and some of them intimate that the Ordi-
nances effecting the change would appear in the Moniteur
of this day. The official Journal, however, has no such
documents, and is silent upon the reports afloat on the
subject. The following extracts from these papers will
show the opinions entertained upon the reported change:—
For two days past a law has been under discussion in
the Council relative to clubs and popular societies ; a laW
which was to authorise the existence of those associations
to the number of 200 members in each society, but which
would only he ►n force a year hence, until which time such
associations would be suspended. This law, which is said
to have originated with the Duke de Broglie, occasioned
some discussion among the Ministers. In the Council
held in the forenoon of the 23d instant, the Duke was the
only Minister who supported it. In the evening another
Council was held, when, after a short discussion, the in-
compatibility of the Council, as at present formed, was
declare, Temp,.
_ .

The report of nn important change in the Ministry ob-
tains general credit. As tide modification has become al-
together necessary, and as, by a continuance of the pre-
sent Ministry, and the policy it has puraued for nearly
two months, the dignity of France might one day or other
be compromised abroad, and harmony at home be destroyed,
we willingly give ear to the measure, which will in time
repair the faults hitherto committed, and in the end in-
sure us an chic and durable Government. The change in
question will be milfiletteuipowt heispeitonciiipelesAfoifnisAtel.rDotftpoolliat

would turn, and would become the influential Member of
the regenerated Cabinet. We should then have an effec-
tive Government, a Ministry truly patriotic and national
natural consequence enough of such a revolution as
we have had.—.Le Globe.

A change of Ministers was much spoken of yesterday.
It was raid that the functions of the four Ministers nut
Secretaries of State were suppressed. The announce-
ment of the new Cabinet is expected to appear in the
111Oniteur of to-day. We think that the Moniteur win
announce nothing new, and that the public have enter-
tained with too touch eagerness a hope which held out
something flattering. The Ministers, whom this com-
bination was to remove, have not determined upon with-
drawing, but would wish, in continuing in office, to re-
tain the other tart ; it is, however, doubtful, whether

the latter would consent to this arrangement.—Journal
444 Commerce.
.What is called the moderate part of the present Admi-
nistration is retiting before the popular societies which
triumphed on the Place de Greve, after having received
military honours on their way. Thus is broken the frail
alliance formed by M‘ Guisot with the centres of the
I Chamber, constituted into a majority; for it is already ac-
knowledged that this change of Ministry must lead to the
dissolution of the Chamber. As to the consequences of
such a dissolution, they are involved in the future, which
becomes daily more gloomy. A man, however, must be
ignorant of history, who can be in the least surprised at
this movement, which carries men and affairs towards the
revolution. Liberals, who were thought violent three
months ago, are now considered weak men, without any
opinion. The patriots of to-day will soon be signalized as
moderates.— Quotidienne.

DUTCH PAPERS.

SECOND CHAMBER OF THE STATES-GENERAL'

SETT. 23.

A message from the First Chamber, stating that it had
assembled and taken into consideration the draught of an
address in answer to the King's Speech on the opening of
the present extraordinary sitting.
The Address is as follows :--.

" Sire,—Summoned by your Majesty to an extraordi-
nary meeting, the members of the States-General have
hastened to repair thither. They feel themselves bound
to express to your Majesty the deep sorrow with which
they concur in regretting the events which have given oc-
casion to this convocation.

" The commotion which has taken place at Brussels
and other places in the midst of peace and the highest
prosperity, the theatres of conflagration and plundering
which have marked and accompanied the same, must
awaken among all true Netherlanders an equally deep feel-
ing of pain and responsibility.
" Penetrated by these feelings, and without now seek-
ing to trace out the origin and object of the event, con-
vinced of your Majesty's anxious desire to consolidate the
interests of all your subjects, and to secure their happi-
ness, the States-General will calmly and earnestly co-ope-
rate in the measures which your Majesty may be pleased
to propose, and which are necessary for the welfare of
the country.
" If they, after a mature deliberation, shall be of
opinion, that by a revisal of the fundamental law, or even
by a separation of territories, which are united by treaties
and by the constitution, the welfare of the country might
be promoted, they will not refuse to make such modifica-
tions as are consistent with following the constitutional
path, which is the only course morally possible for them
and your Majesty to pursue ; and they will not hesitate
to make known to your Majesty with frankness their
opinion and views thereon.

" They respectfully receive from your Majesty the
information that the interests of the kingdom require the
maintenance of the national militia ; but they at the same
time express the wish that the measure. which it belongs
to the prerogative of the Crown to direct may very soon,
through the complete restoration of tranquillity, be found
to be superfluous.

" With a feeling of satisfaction they rely on the anur-
asset of your Majesty, that the financial supplies rendered
necessary by the present fatal circumstances may be ob-
tained by the credits which have been opened, and that
the further regulations of the same may be postponed until
the approaching ordinary session.

" And while they finally renew to your Majesty the
solemn homage of their fidelity and attachment, and of the
feelings of pure patriotism which animate them, they also,
mindful of the revolutionary storms which have often tor-
mented Europe and the Netherlands, and of which they
have been witnesses, never will forget how, after the fright.
ful violence of foreign domination, the popular form and
independence of the Netherlands were under your Ma-
jesty's sceptre established, and by courage in the field eon-
firmed; and how the interests of the Netherlands and the
Orange dynasty are in the most intimate manner united.
" Yell, Sire, we solemnly declare in the name of the
people of the Netherlands, that they will consider no sacri-
fices too great which may tend to support your throne and
dynasty, to restore order and tranquillity, to enforce the
laws, to defend a fundamental law, and to repel all wanton
encroachments upon it.
" Perfectly prepared to co-operate with firmness to.,
wards these objects, they dutifully recognize your Ma-
jesty's solemn declaration of your readiness to listen to all
just wishes, but never to yield to party spirit, or to con-
cur in measures which would sacrifice the interest of the
nation to the violence of power. They also, Sire, enter-
tain a profound sense of their duty more than ever to
guard against the exaltation of the passions, and against
the attacks on authority which have no other result than
the destruction of true liberty, which can alone find pro.
tection under the authority of the laws.
"To protect against such consequent*s the people
whom we are summoned to represent,—in whose behalf
we have to watch over the maintenance of freedom, and
with whose views to endeavour to unite all interests
is the object, in concurrence with the sincere wish of
your Majesty, which the States-General have to attain."
Heer Gayer Hoof, in the name of the Commission
which 'formed part of the deputation which waited on the
King, reported that the President of the First Chamber
read the address, and that his Majesty replied in substance
as follows:

" That he perceived with much satisfaction the feelings
which the States• General had on this occasion expressed;
—that this concurrence was what he expected from such
an assembly ;—that he anticipated great good from the
perfect union which prevailed between the representatives
of the people and the King ;that the assurance thereof
which he now received would have the beneficial effect of
strengthening the general confidence, of encouraging the
well-disposed, and deterring the wicked;.—finally, that
he flattered himself that he should, with our t•o-operation,
soon see tranquillity and order restored, and thus be ena-
bled to maintain the welfare of the country, which had
just been so fatally put to hazard."
The President of the Second Chamber• then thanked the
Committee for the completion of the task they had under-
taken.

REDUCED PRICE or PORTER.-015 Friday
and Saturday last, several of the publicans in the Borough,
Lambeth, and indeed in various park of town, anticipating
the opposition they are likely to meet with after the 10th
of next month, when the Beer Act comes into operation,
commenced selling their porter at 3d. per quart. Yta-
terday a great many of the licensed victuallers throughout
the metropolis followed the example, selling the porter at
Bd. per pot, and we have no doubt that to-day few publi-
cans within the weekly bills will charge more than that price.

tober, we are requested to star, will contain the conclu-

EQUITY.—A gentleman, resident at Harrow,
made frequent complaints to the masters of the great school
there of his garden being stripped of its fruit, even before
it became ripe—but to no purposes. Tired of applying to
the motets for redress, he at length appealed to the boys,
and sending for one to his house, he said, " Now, my
good fellow, I'll make this agreement with you and your
companions; let the fruit remain on the trees till it he•
Conies ripe, and I promise to give you half." The Loy
coolly replied, " I can say nothing to the proposition, Sir,
myself, but will make it known to the rest of the boys,
and inform you of their decision to-morrow." To-morrow
came, and brought with it this reply..-." lho gentlemen
of Harrow cannot agree to receive so unequal a share,
since Mr, is an individual, and we are many."
