BRUSSELS AND DUTCH PAPERS.

BRUSSELS, Ocr. 9.—The foreign legion is forming at
Ath. It will consist of 4,000 men. Colonel Murat is gone to
Ath.

It is affirmed that 6,000 men, chiefly Prussians and Swiss,
landed a few days ago at Breskens, and are encamped at Oos_
burg, l'Ecluse, Aerdenburg, and the environs.
A letter from Antwerp of the Bth October says, " Last night
a gunboat passed through the Cut in the Dike, at Bright, and
is now in the Polder. It is said that orders are given by which
the continuation of the repairs of the dikes is prohibited.
Yesterday evening the Curacoa steam-boat came up the river
as high as the Pipe-de-Tabac.

OCT. 10.—Several packages of Journals having been seized in
the diligences from Brussels to Ghent, it was believed that
this seizure had been made by order of the Post.master, but it is
now announced that no such orders have been given, and that
directions have been issued to suffer the newspapers to be
conveyed by the diligences, the seizure having originated in a
mistake.

A dreadful fire has
,istroyed 16 or 17 houses in the pretty
town of Spa.
LIEGE, OCT.
o'clock
King arrived here on Saturday
morning at eight clock ; he alighted at the hotel of Baron
Vanderstein. Thb Governor, with the Burgomaster and She.
riff, went to the undaries of the commune to receive his Ma-
jesty. The Duchess of Saxe Coburg arrived the same evening.
Yesterday the King visited the forts of the Citadel and the
Chartreux ; he then reviewed the garrison and the civic guard.
His Majesty visited several of the principal manufactories, the
university, the carmen foundry, and the theatre, and was every
where received with the greatest enthusiasm and demonstra-
tion of affection as at his former visit. His Majesty set out
this morning for Verviers, and will be back in:the evening.
ANTWERP, OCT. 10.—General Belliard arrived here yes-
terday before noon. He immediately went to the Kattendyk,
and after having inspected it, and ascertained that the batteries
were demolished, returned to Brussels in the afternoon.

BRUSSELS, Ocr. 11.—The King will return to Brussels
today.

Two English Cabinet messengers set out yesterday with des-
patches, one for the Hague, the other for London.

General Belliard has returned from Antwerp, having fully
obtained the object of his visit.
We learn that the Commandant of Brussels has caused seve-
ral of the civic guard of the first Ban to be arrested in order to
send them to Ostend, escorted by the gend'armes. Part of
them are of the higher classes, and will set out to-day for their
destination in the diligence, accompanied by gend'armes.
Entrenchments are going to be raised before the city of
Bruges, under the direction of M. O'Sullivan, engineer. The
news of the rejection of the Reform Bill being received at
Brussels on the 10th, was immediately forwarded by an express
to the King at Liege.
The Journals are full of details of the marching and exer-
cising of detachments of troops.
VIENNA, OCT. I.—News from Cracow, dated the 27th ult.,
has been received here to-day, announcing that a division of
Rudiger's corps had entered • the territory et the Republic and
the city of Cracow itself, the territory having been previously
violated by armed bands of the insurgents belonging to the de-
feated corps of Rozyski, who slid not lay down their arms.

On this the Polish corps dispersed, and fled in all directions.
Generals Rozyzki:and Kamienko, with a numerous suite, crossed
the frontiers to Gallicia. Other bands have entered the Aus-
trian territory at several points near Oswienice, Podgorze,
Niepolonice, &c., and have there laid down their arms. Prince
Czartoryski and General Skrzynecki are now in Gallicia.
It is affirmed that news has been received today from Brunn
that the cholera had appeared there. The disorder seems to
abate here, which may fairly be ascribed to the favourable
weather. His Majesty the Emperor continues to manifest the
most affectionate regard for his subjects in these unfortunate
circumstances. The day before yesterday he visited some of
the hospitals containing cholera patients, and convinced himself
of the excellent arrangements in them. The Archduke came
to the city almost every day.

. -
The Austrian Observer says that only a part of Rozyzki's
corps succeeded in reaching the Austrian territory, the remain-
der being prevented, by the combined movements of General
Rosen and Rudiger, had dispersed.
VIENNA, OCT. 10.—Five per Cents. '79% ; Four per Cents.
69% ; Bank Shares, 962.
THE HAGUE, OcT. 9.—Several ships have arrived from
Batavia, and we have now the Java Journals as late as the 16th
June : they contain no news of importance. Perfect tranquil-
lity prevailed, not only in Java, but in the remainder of our
East India possessions; so, that as another journal has remarked,
there can be no truth of disturbances in the island of Sumatra,
mentioned in an article from Padang, May 5, in the Engligh
papers.

BREDA, OCT. 7.—For some time past many Belgian deserters
of all arms daily come to the citadel; all of them declare that
the numbers would be much greater, were not *most of them
kept back by the fear of being ill-treated or sent back.
THE HAGUE, OCT. B.—An Official Gazette contains the
order of the day of the Prince of Orange, announcing the pro-
longation of the armistice for 15 days, at the special request of
the Plenipotentiaries of the Five Great Powers, assembled in
the Conference at London.

HAGUE, OCT. 9.—A peat number of grenadiers, equipped
here, have just gone to join the army.
Prince Frederick returned to the army on Friday moaning•

LONDON,
THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 13, 1831.

Our various communications from the country all
agree in describing the popular indignation against
the Bishops as being most profound and univer-
sal. From one end of Great Britain to the
other, there is literally but one opinion respect-
ing their conduct. They are termed upholders of
despotism and corruption ; staunch adherents of
the boroughmongering system; traitors to the
liberties of the people; ecclesiastical Iscariots, who
would barter all that honest men held most dear,
most sacred, provided they could get a good
price from their Tory tempters. But the COll-
- of a Bishop is just now at a low ebb in the
political market; it never was worth much; and the
Reverend Prelates must, we fear, remain consistent
in spite of themselves.
Yet their plots were subtle and well-laid, and it
is not the fault of the Episcopal Bench that they
failed. MACIIIAVEL himself could not have intrigued
better, if indeed he could have intrigued so
well. Up to the very last moment the Reve-
rend Prelates kept all snug and under hatches ; not
a whisper escaped them as to how they should vote;
they even led the Government to infer that they
would be divided; or at least evince no very de-
cided or energetic opposition to Reform. The
subtle, wily Jesuits ! They were all the while
coquetting with the Tories, and speculating on the
downfall of the Whigs. They knew that the mon-
strous abuses of the Church would be safe with the
one, but would doubtless be corrected by the
other. Self—self—nothing but self—was their
Polar star. They clung to it with all the enthu-
siasm with which a Spanish devotee clings to the
image of his patron saint. Throughout the mo-
mentous discussion but one vision danced before
their eyes. They were deaf to the friendly warn-
ings of Earl GREY; to the matchless eloquence and
solemn appeals of Lord BROUGHAM: nothing
touched—nothing convinced—nothing came home
to them ; they thought only of Self, whose
interest they hoped to strengthen by their vote.
And is it to such men that the term " ignorance
of the world" can be applied ? Preposterous
idea! They are shrewd, dexterous politicians,
always among the foremost to watch and cal-
culate the various chances of preferment ; to
know in what quarter the wind sits, and how
long it is likely to blow from that quarter. In a
word, they are political weathercocks, who invariably
shift with the passing breeze. In this one instance
alone have they been mistaken in their calculation;
they thought the wind blew from the Tory, whereas
it is fixed in the Whig, quarter of the horizon.
Their Reverences, we suspect, will long find
cause to regret this egregious blunder; greater
cause in fact than the people; for the latter
have only for a season lost their rights by it, while
it has given a shock to the power and influence and
respectability of the latter, from which it is more than
probable they will never recover. The eyes of three
kingdoms are now fixed and glaring on the Episcopal
Bench.

In the House of Lords last night the LORD
CHANCELLOR made the following satisfactory obser-
vations, which we recommend to the attention of
all classes of the community :—" I call upon the
people, as their friend, and as the friend of Reform,
not to give way to any unfounded: disappointment.
I tell them that Reform is only delayed for a short
period. I tell them that the Bill will pass,—that
the Bill must pass,—that a Bill, fontided.on exacly
similar principles, and equally extensive and efficient
as the Bill which has been just thrown out, shall,
in a very short period, become part and parcel of
the law of the land.—(Hear, hear.) Let not the
people, I repeat, indulge in any degree of disap-
pointment, for they may rely upon it, that through
the exertions of their friends in the Ministry, and
their friends in Parliament, such a measure shall,
ere long, be passed." Lord WHARNCLIFFE also de-
dared that the time waa...at /ingth come when Re-
form should be conceded to the people!

A long and angry discussion took place last night
in the House of Commons on the subject of the
procession of yesterday, and the replies of Lords
J. RUSSELL and ALTHORP to the address of thanks
of the Birmingham Union, which discussion was
chiefly remarkable for the more than usually absurd
accusations of Sir C. WETHERELL.

The City Address was presented yesterday to his
MAJESTY, who in reply, graciously announced his
t, continued disposition" to further the question of
Reform, and " improve the securities afforded by the
Constitution for the maintenance of the just rights
of his people."

Though the storm of popular fury is now sub-
sided, the swell and heaving of the waters still con-
tinue. All England is in motion to a man. Addresses
to the throne and to the Ministers, breathing the
same spirit, expressing the same opinions,
are hourly
pouring in from all quarters. Energy is the order
of the day, combined however with confidence and
moderation. There is no despair among the people ;
they are disappointed, but not desponding. They
lean on the Ministers as on a rock, well knowing
that the support of the
.one will fail as soon as the
other. From the disturbed districts the news is
cheering. At Derby, and at Nottingham, the
tumult is well nigh quelled, and the people

are returning peaceably to their usual avoca-
tions. We trust there will be no repetition
of such outrages. Nothing can palliate—nothing
justify them. We are not, however, without our
suspicions that they have been fomented by the
Tory faction, whose paid agents have, within the
last few days, been wondrously busy about the
metropolis. These miscreants expected, we know,
much from the processions of yesterday. They
were in hopes that they could have succeded in
goading the people to violence ; but they failed in
their intentions ; and their masters, we suppose, will
in consequence refuse to pay them, on the plea of
non-fulfilment of contract.

There is little of novelty or importance in any of
the Foreign Journals. The news of the defeat of
the Reform Bill had produced great dismay both
at Paris and Brussels. In Portugal things as usual
are getting worse and worse. The Paris express says
—" The Parisian Journals are filled with disserta-
tions and anticipations, founded on the reject►nent
of the Reform Bill, and the destruction of the here-
ditary quality of the French Peerage—a sentence
which was pronounced by the Chamber of Deputies
on Monday, by a majority of 238 !—the numbers
having been 324 to 86. This overwhelming ma-
jority is ascribed to the newsimpetus given to the
measure by the conduct of our House of Lords.
So strong had the anti-aristocratic spirit become,
that when a M. TESTS, on Tuesday last, in the
Chamber of Deputies proposed something like a
qualified heredite ; the Chamber rose en masse
against it. Thus have the English Tories precipi-
tated the ruin of their French cotemporaries."

HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY.)
HARRIS v. KEMBLE.

Mr. TINNEY replied at great length this morning, on this
important appeal, at the conclusion of which
The LORD CHANCELLOR rose to give judgment, his Noble
Friend at the table (Lord Plunkett) and himself, had paid
the greatest attention to the arguments in this case, and at
the conclusion of the addresses of Sir Edward Sugden and
Mr. Tinney on behalf of the appellant, they entertained no doubts
as to the advice they ought to give to the House, but from the
peculiarities of the case, his Noble Friend (Lord Lynd.
burst) having reversed the decision of the present
Master of the Rolls, who had heard the case at great
length, and at great labour made himself master of
the facts, they thought it right to hear the whole case.
That had now been done, and more able arguments he (the Lord
Chancellor) never had heard. The opinion, however, which he
and his Learned Friend had formed had not been altered by those
arguments. It was clear to his Lordship that in the suit for a spe-
cific performance the plaintiff had failed in respect of misrepresen-
t ation. He agreed entirely with the grounds of his Learn edFriend's
(Lord Lyndhurst) judgment, and he should, therefore, move
their Lordships that that judgment be affirmed.
Lord PLUNKETT concurred entirely with the judgment pro-
nounced in the Court below. No doubt could be entertained that
misrepresentations had taken place not upon trifling matters,
and things that were immaterial, but with respect to the receipts
of the theatre, which were calculated to induce the parties to
submit to a rent which they otherwise would never have done.
He thought that sufficient grounds had been shewn for not car-
rying the contract (which was entirely executory) into execution.
Lord LYNDHURST had attended closely to the arguments
on both sides, and saw no reason whatever for altering the opi-
nion he had originally formed.
Their Lordships then ordered the judgment of the Court below
to be affirmed, but without costs.

Mr. Kemble and Miss Fanny Kemble, who had been attending
to the arguments during the morning, on returning from below
the bar, received the congratulations of their surrounding friends.
