melancholy. A great OA of the people= are without
bread : the streets are full of beggars, and a general famine
is apprehended. The country people of the environs inert
with so many difficulties mrentering and leaving the town,
and are subject to such a rigorous surveillance, that they
come only once a week,.aud in such small numbers, that
the articles they bring are often hardly sufficient to supply
the citizens for a few days, so that the price of provisions
is greatly increa•ed.
,4 Military ile•p.tistn adds to our Sufferings. Several
citizens, of what crime accused is nut known, have been
languishing in prison for these two months, and nobody is
allowed to see them. The day before yesterday a woman
from Liege, who In ought some letters, was arrested and
put into prison. The citizens dare not go out of their
houses. Every quarter of the city has its barrier guarded
by two pieces of cannon. This harrier is closed at night-
fall, and from that time till daybreak all communication
between the inhabitants of the different quarters is inter-
rupted. A prohibition to cross the Parade has just been
issued."

A letter from Aix-la-Chapelle says—" There are so
many Prussian troops here, that some of the inhabitants
have t n soldiers quartered on them."

The section of the National Congress were engaged in
discussing the principal bases of the Constitution, espe-
cially the regulations of the liberty of the Press.
The Journal of Luxembourg, mentioning the reports
respecting troubles said to have broken out at Berlin, add.
—" These reports require confirmation. At Luxem-
bourg, where so many have a constant correspondence
with all parts of Prussia, ass information has been re-
ceived which can give a colour of probability to such
reports."
Ltrag, Nov. 26.--A traveller who arrived yester-
day from Maseyck, met the Dutch cAunn beyond
Msestricbt, on the right bank of the Meuse, marching
towards Venloo.

ANTWERP, Nov. 26.—A corps of volunteers of about
1,000 men left this city this morning, taking the road to
Coenpine.

Mirtitcu, Nov. 20.—1 t is still reported that in the
next assembly of the States, it is intended to present a law
against the Press, nay some persons even say, though pro-
bably without foundation, that the security required in
France from the editors of Newspaper", will be demanded
is Bavaria.

Luzzatnouria, Nov. 17,-4 proclamation issued by the
Councillor of State, Willmar, Governor (for the King of
Holland) of the Grand Duchy, reminds the inhabitants,
that by a proclamation of Oct. 6, he bad warned them
wind recognizing the Provisional Government of Bel-
gium, and particularly in taking part in the elections,
seeing that the Grand Duchy is a Sovereignty independent
of the kingdom of the Netherlands, but forming part
of the German Confederation. He now informs them of
the consequences of not observing the advice he had given
them. The Sovereign rights attached to the Grand
Duchy having been disregarded and attacked, his Majesty
the King of the Netherlands; as Grand Duke, has, con-
formably to Article 63 of the Act of Congress of Vienna,
been obliged to require the assistance of the German Con-
federation to re-establish legal order in that part of
the Confederation. He has just received his Majesty's
commands to make the communication to them, that they
may of their own accord place themselves again under the
authority of the King, their Grand Duke, alone legal, and
which it is their interest to do, in order to avoid the injury
that may come from the employment of restraint an►l of
the armed force.

The French Papers of Monday repeat the rumour
that Prussia anJ Russia are preparing for war. We
scarcely think that these Powers, however blinded
by self-interest, will attempt to risk their all on a
speculation which cannot fail to whelm them in ruin,
particularly when they shall have received intelligence
of the downfall of the WELLINGTON dynasty : still

there is no arguing beforehand on the action of Go-
vernments, as has been of late moat signally shown
in the cases both of France and Englund. If Russia
venture upon war, she will only precipitate a crisis
which might possibly have been delayed, but cannot
be averted. With regard to the new levy of troops
in France, it is a wise and timely measure of pre-
caution, induced by the restless activity and ambi-
guous conduct of other Powers.

NORWICH ELECTION.

NORWICH, TUESDAY, Nov. 30.
This day came on the election of a Member of Patßa-
iment, in consequence of the appointment of the Right
Finn, Robert Grant to the situation of Judge Advocate.
At nine o'clock the Sheriffs entered the Court, Mr.
tinder-Sheriff Winter read the Wt it, and Mr. Under-She-
riff Staff the Acts against Bribery, &c., after which the
oaths were administered to the Sheriff+, when Mr. Sherill
Bignold informed the freemen of the purpose for which
they were assembled. They had just heard the writ, and
he trusted they would give every person a patient heAring
who might wish to address them.

Sir THOMAS BltEVOn then came forward, and proposed
the Right Hon. Robert Grant. He did so, he said, with
confidence, as the Administration to which their late Mem-
ber had united himself stood pledged to Reform.
JOHN lIARMSON YALLOP and THOMAS THUATELL,
Esqrs„ supported the nomination.

After alapse of a few minutes, no other freeman coming
forward to address the Court, the Sheriffs ordered procla-
mation to be made that the Right Hon. Robert Grant was
duly elected.

The Right Hon. Gentleman, amidst the deafening op-
plause of the assembled crowd, came forward to address
them in an eloquent anti feeling manner.
The return wax then signed, and the Court broke up.
The chairing took place at one o'clock, and though so
short a period has elapsed since the last election it lost
none of its accustomed splendour. The market-place was
filled, and amidst the shouts of the populace and the smiles
of the fair sex, who crowded the windows and waved
their blue and white colours, and the ringing of the fine
bells of St. Peter's, the Right !fon. Gentleman, in a full
Court dress, was triumphantly borne in an elegant chair,
decorated with blue and colours.

Several new banners were carried before the chair, on
which were inscribed—

Grant, the Advocate of the People.

Peace to the Nation, Plenty to the Poor.

William the Fourth, the King or the People.

Reforms Retrenchment, and Peace, and no mistake,

Our Country is dear, but our Liberty is dearer.

P.S. At the time I am now writing (three o'clock) the
friends of Mr. Grant are assembling together at the Angel
Inn, to celebrate his reelection by a dinner, and they hope
the Right Hon. Gentleman will be prevailed on to delay
his return to his Parliamentary duties, so as to give them
tLe pleasure of his company.

STATE OF THE COUNTRY.

(FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.)

CAMBRIDGE, NOV. SO.
No serious outrage has been committed in this county
ince the IVillingham tire. The farmers in many parishes
have anticipated the demands of the peasantry by a volun-
tary increase of wages, and in those quarters all appre-
hensions of disorder have vanished. Some parishes border-
ing on Huntingdonshire are in a feverish state of excite-
ment, which the disturbed condition of that county renders
it difficult for the civil power to keep in check. We
bear that many acts of violence of a daring nature have
been committed in the neighbourhood of Huntingdon, and
that upwards of fifty of the rioters have been, secured and
lodged in the county gaol. The accounts from Norfolk
and Northampton are very discouraging, and in short the
entire rustic population of the kingdom appears to be as-
suming an attitude which the stoutest hearts cannot but
regard with fear and trembling. Still we have hopes that
the alarm will gradually subside, as the new standard of
wages is acted upon ; but it will he extremely difficult for
the farmers to struggle against the impost through the
present winter ;--that eventually it will fall upon the land-
lords and the clergy, except so far as relief may be af-
forded in taxation, no one competent to give an opinion on
the subject can entertain a doubt. The farmers cannot
bear up against the present burdens, much less can they
sustain a charge which, an a moderate estimate, will
amount to five millions per annum. It is clear who must
suffer, and those unconcerned would do well to regulate
their establishments, with a view to a deduction of 2 per
cent, on the incomes arising from their landed possessions.
The farmers, it seems, are already stirring ; for at a
tithe feast held last week in a neighbouring county an
abatement of rent was peremptorily demanded, which not
being complied with the tenants refused either to settle
their accounts, or to partake of their pastor's hospitality,
and he in return threatened to appeal to Lord Chancellor
Brougham.
I do not bear that the new rate of wages is'considered
to exceed a fair remuneration for labour. What, then,
must have been the privations end sufferings of the labour-
ing poor, when so large a portion of their hard earnings
WdS withheld front theta ? The Editor of the Times has
remarked with just severity on the treatment of the poor
in Lord Gage's parish in Sussex, but he has yet to learn
that the System was almost general in the eastern counties.
Still it is but fair to state that the farmers were in a great
measure driven to the course they pursued to save them-
selves from ruin. The heavy demands fur rent, tithes, and
taxes left them no alternative but to reduce the expen-
diture for labour as low as possible ; now the tide is
turned the other way, and the time is fast approaching
when it will no longer he said of our brave and irides
ti ions peasantry " vos non volds mellificath apes,"

lam happy in being able to inform you, that the
nc-
counts from the Isle of Wight are more favourable than
we had reason to► expect, from the circumstance of the
troops being ordered away so suddenly for liyde. Nothing
of the lent consequence has occurred since my last, and
the Isle of Wight is considered to be so far restored to
order that the detachment of the .17th, regiment has re-
turned this day.
The accounts from the eastern parts of this county are
vet), favourable. The troops have returned from Havant,
Emsworth, tee.

Last night a fire broke out at Petersfield, near Fair Oak,
the residence of J. B. Carter, EN., M. I'., when two
barns and three small cottages, with numerous small out•
buildings attached to them, were totally consumed. A
gentleman in this neighbourhood can swear to the person
of a roan on horseback, who has been described by the
London Papers as riding by night through the country,
and as very narrowly escaping when pursued by leaping a
gate. I cannot recollect the place where this happened,
but a man of the very same appearance, with a horse of
the like description, (a blood.bay one) about 17 hands
high, was seen by the gentleman before mentioned, to gal—
lop at a rapid rate over Eatherington-hill, eight miles from
the spot where the tire occurred. It is to be hoped this
ventlonan may bd discovered.
