FRENCH RIPER S.

(Fr-;the Monitrur of Friday.)
Partis, Auutrst . h e Duke of 'Orleans end the
Duke of Nemours have set nut to-night, at lialf-pa,t eleven
o'clock, for the army of which Matshol Gerard is to take

the comntswd in eldef.
The Duke of Orleans will command origade of
Hussars, and the Duke of Nemotto.s tli",-; first regiment of
Lancers. The friends of t-ls(r 'e'nergctic and generous po-
licy of the Government r...'ust applaud the determination ;1,:
has taken immediately to send Marshal Gerard to Bel-
gium at the head of an army. This mramare is only the
consequence of the recognit►on of the new kingdom of
Belgium which has been obtained, and mast be defended
by France : it is the application of the prim:oes laid
down in diplomatic conventions, signed by the Five
C;reat Powers ; and the entraffee of our soldiers into
the Belgic territory will be the most solemn conse.
cr.ition of the union of those Powers, and a proof
'f the true part which France henceforward acts e❑
the Continent. Far from hzing a signal to ext4tt alarm
for the tranquillity of Europe, this war is, ill some tnea-

sure, a new pledge of peace ;it is stined to prove to
Fiance, on the one hand, that the disposition of the Powers

are of such a nature as to dispel the vain attempts with
which some would inspire it; and, on the othei hand-, that
a country which can put an army in march in twenty-
four hours, may be assured of the preservation of its ho-
nour, its dignity, and its independence.
(From the Messager des Okambres, dated Aug. `6.)
PARIS, AUG. 5.—A telegraphic despatch, sent yester-
day to Brussels, gives orders to Gent' at Belliard imme-
diately to notify to General Chs.stre, commanding the cita-
del of Antwerp, that the King of the French takes under

his protection all the property, public and privates. of 'the
city, and that he renders him responsiit* hr all the
damage that he may cause there. It is thought that the
declaration will suffice to hinder General Chasse recom-•

niencing this time the mlious humhardment whir!: nom:
GO oaths ago so justly excited the indignation of all Europe.
"The Charge d'Affaires of Francs at She Hague has de-
clared to the King of Holland, that the King of the French,
conformable with the treaties signed by all the Iknvers,

was piing to cause the independence of Belgium~; to be re-
spected. As the Belgian array is, perhaps, not yet in a
condition to keep the field against 40,000 men of the King
of Holland, it is possible that the Belgic troops may tall
back on the French army, rather than expose themselves
in an important action before the arrival. of our columns,
which will not make themselves waited for.

The English journals that we have last received do net
say where Admiral Cotltington's fleet is, but every thing
indicates that we shall soon hear of it in the stheldt. If

Leopold has called for the assistance of the king of the
French, he cannot have neglected to Ask for aid from his
Britannic 11f.alesty, and there is no doubt that the English
force Ail,. he directed to ..kntrerp.—Journal du Cow.,lme.
(From the National.)

Hitherto the Ministry had not clearly expressed itself
resrecting the situation in which the protocols of London
bare placed 13e1gium with respect to the great Powers.
The fact is, that acco.rding to the terms of the protocols,
this new state, as well as its Sovereign, are not to be re-
,:ognized by Russia, Austria, and Premia, till after the
King of Holland shall have accepted the eighteen articles
of the Conference, which will serve as preliminaries to a
treaty of peace between Belgium and Holland.
The eighteen articles not being accepted by the King of
Holland, Belgium by the very fact is no4et recognized by
those three Powers.

The Ambassador of Austria 'ad the Minister of Prus-
sia met this afternoon, at fetar o'clock, at the residence of
the Russian Ambassador, Count Pozzo di Borgo, rz.tder
to deliberate on the trAtrance of the French trecp into Be!-

gium, and to agues on the conduct they have to adopt on
this occasion. It is affirmed that the English Ambassador
was present at this meeting, some result of which we
shall un".ouhtedly soon be acquainted with.

(From the Journal des Debuts of Friday.)

This evening, at nine o'clock, a tetegtaphie despatch
announces that the first engagement was fought between
the Belgian and the Dutch troops in the neighbourhood of
Ghent.

Every body has received with joy the powerful eatern,tl
manifestation of France with respect to Belgium. This
is an answer to those who accused the Government to
wish for peace at any price.
Faithful to the engagements taken in London, France
%s ill protect the neutrality she has sanctioned by her in-
fluence.

Marshal Gerard left last evening, at five o'clock, to re-
pair to his post.
The Dukes of Orleans and Nemours. have also set out
for the army.
The Regiment of Hussars of Chartres received orders
to be ready to depart this morning. The soldiers embraced
each other, crying, " Vire la France !" "Mc fe Roi !"
In the course of 48 hours the army shall have crossed
the frontier. Belgium shall be free, and France powerful
and respected.

(From the Alttional of Friday.)

We have reason to suppose that the latest tams from
Poland, which must be of a sinister kind, from the secrecy
with which it is kept, must have influenced the determi-
nation so rapidly taken to send an army on the receipt of
a letter from Leopold this morning at five o'clock, at the
Palaia Royal.
(From the Journal du Commerce of S iturday.)
On Thursday evenining M. Sebastiani convoked, at
the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, a meeting of the Am-
bassadors from England, Russia, Prussia, and Austria,
and after acquainting them with the determination taken
by the French Government to send an army into Belgium
to assist Leopold, he protested to them that the sole ob-
ject of his Government was to drive back the Dutch army
on its own territory, and that once this object shall 'Oe ac-
complished, the French army will immediately retire into
France, without occupying any of the, Ilelgie etrong
places.
We have those details from ft SOttresz that leaves no doubt
as to their accuracy.
We arc informed that the Government has received the
intelligence of our troops having entered Mont and
Charleroi amid the acclamations of the Belgic population.
(From the Journal des Debate of Saturday.)
War has been declared. Our hoops are departing in
the highest spirits. Is it to be a universal war, or a mere
war with Holland ? That question shall be decided.
Should Prussia support Holland, war will be general-if
not, it is a mad attempt of the King of Holland, anti peace
is more secure than ever. It will be seen that the Kings
are not anxious for war, and that it is hereafter almost im-
possible-since armies in a campaign do not even decide it,
since amid all those violent passions which portend an ex-
plosion at every moment, a spark has fallen, and falls with-
out danger.
We ate aware of the existence of a party in t erlin fa-
vourable to war. That party surrounds the King, and in
some degree masters him; his Court, his very family be-
long to that party. It is the party of the Princes.
Will the King of Prussia resist .that Propaganda? Many
think he will.
It is then in Berlin that !the question of nnivetsal war
will be decided. France, in marching to rosist Belgium
against Holland, merely supports the independence of a
State she has created, and continues to it her protection.
We do not commence the universal war ; we leare that re-
sponsibility to ethers ; we only aid our Allies, decided to
await the event, whatever it be, with arms in our hands.
