(PRIVATIC LICTTER.)

The late Address of the Deputies to the Throne, re-
specting the abolition of the capital punishment, continues
to excite the animailveraion of the French generally. The
present Ministerial Paper (Le Nationel) holds on this
point a language similar to that of the Revolution,
Patriote, and other popular Papers. Indeed it becomes
more evident every day that the state prisoners will meet
with no indulgence from the hands of the people ; an I the
Patriole of this morning says that it will be very diffieult,
if not impossible, to cool their exasperation. The Con-
stitutionnel thinks it highly imprudent to have referred
the decision of the matter to the King, as it only tends to
make him unpopular. The Chamber having by force
taken the first steps, it should have gone through to the
end. Nobody views the proposition of M. de Tracy as
proceeding Irons an abstractive principle, and brought
forward in the interests of humanity; hut, on the contrary,
every one is of opinion that the whole arises from a con-
certed plan to save the Ex-Ministers. This idea is not a
little confirmed by the precipitation of the Chamber of
Deputies in voting the Address—precipitation so contrary
to its usual dilatoriness, and avowed aversion to any thing
new ; in fact, the Ministry is very much embarrassed at
its present critical situation, and it is generally supposed
that ere long we shall have a change,
The Afessager des Chambres of this evening announces
that great disorders have taken place at Antwerp. They
appear to have arisen between the Belgian and Dutch
troops, as the former were embarking for Holland. If
one may give credit to the assertion of the above Paper,
Prince Frederick has been wounded, and a superior officer
killed in the conflict.

The stagnation of commerce, and the failures which are
expected daily, caused a considerable fall in the Funds yes-
tetday. The French Press manifests great jealousy at the
independence of Belgium, as it was rather expected that
the Belgians would have thrown themselves iuto the arms
of France some way or other.

The news from Terceira is gratifying ; the spirit of the
garrison is excellent. The volunteer battalion of Oporto,
which is et Villa da Praia, is unsnimous in its resolution
of Loing to the succour of its compatriots, but requires
shipping and a chief. On the coast of Tale the Constitu-
tionals arrested have been carried to the garrison of Gal-
maraes, where they suffer the worst treatment.

The French Papers contain no news of any
particular moment. Much party feeling, as we
anticipated a few days since, is being excited on
the subject of the abolition of the punishment of
death, and the• Patniote who takes up the cause
with much warmth, goes the length of proposing
an address to the SOVEREIGN, to the effect
that though his subjects are averse to bloodshed,
yet that the safety of liberty requires an example
which may terrify those who might be tempted
to oppress it, and that it is not in a moment of
effervescence and of revolution that capital punish-
ment for political crimes ought to be abolished.
We apprehend seriously that the attempt—ge-
nerous though it be—on the part of the French
KING and his Government, to save the Ex.
Ministers, will be attended with some violent
ebullitions of popular indignation. The people
at Paris do not forget—how is it possible they
should P—that up to the latest moment the in-
fatuated POI.IGNAC persevered in his despotic
intentions; and that when LA YITTE informed him
that a civil war, of which it was impossible to foresee
the termination, would be the immediate conse-
quence of his obstinacy, he decided in favour
of such war. The Parisians do not forget this,
and we cannot but think that Louis Pit ILLIPPE
hazards much, very much, in persisting in his
endeavours to rescue Prince PoLIGNAC from
the guillotine. However, it is impossible not
to commend his motives, whatever may be
their result. Alluding to the spread of
the revolutionary spirit throughout Europe,
the Journal des Debats puts forth some
very pertinent remarks. " The change," it ob.
serves, "effected in the species of interest which
modern nations feel for events, 'has passed even
into Congresses and fields of battle. At present
all national rivalry has disappeared. Men op-
pose each other no longer : it is principles which
wage war. When two armies are arrayed against
each other, be assured that it is two opposite ideas
which have taken substantial forms; one of them
must yield to the ether ; and that the victory may
be complete, the vanquished idea must be left
upon the field, for principles not extinguished
are renewed more easily than their armies."—
The Belgic Papers state that Liege and Ghent
do not quite concur in opinion with the Provi-
sional Government on the form of Constitution
to be chosen for Belgium. In these two towns
it is believed that even a federal republic does
not any way suit Belgium. The Prince of
ORANGE's Proclamation has, it is said, pro-
duced a favourable impression at Ghent anti
Louvain.

We have Antwerp letters to the 13th, at
which period the city enjoyed perfect tranquil-
lity, By a Decree of the KING, grain is again
allowed to be imported into the Netherlands, at
the low duty of 1822. Another Decree had
also been issued by the KING, by which the
duty on foreign coals, which amounted to 1f
per ton, had been entirely taken off, and per-
mission granted for their importation into any
of the ports of the Netherlands. Trade between
Antwerp and the interior was rather reviving.

The customary despatches have been received
this morning at the Foreign Office from Paris
and Holland.
