SfR CHARLES WETHERELL AND THE

CITIZENS.

(raom A CORItEStb,I4ISE) T.)

We understand that the remnant of the 'try faction in
London have at length responded 'to the repeated invita-
tions cf this distinguished senator, and are det,rtnined not
to let the Refortti Bill pass through the House of Com-
twins without an effort td itnre,le its progress. The Plan
of operations is supposed to have been laid by a certain De
puty whose name it is understood heads the requititionrand
who, dttring the reign of Toryism, was always a, stinting
partisan. To hill suspicion of its ultimate design; the
execution of the project was committed to a geotlrroan
whose " opposition" habits and spz.•ethes had acquired for
him the reputation of an " ultra liberal! The real ob
yet of the Tories was so well concealed by this stratagem,
that severdl gannets Reformer; hike fallen into Otetrgp,
and signed the requisition for a Court of Common Coun-
cil to consider the propriety d petitioning Pattiament to
allow the Livery in perpetuity the right e.f electing two
Members instead of exercising that right in conjunction
with the resident householders. By acquiescing in an in-
sidious proposition of this description, the Corporation
would, in truth, completely play the game, of the Anti-
Reforiners, by opening the whole question atsein after the
Bill had been settled in Committee, and thus again de-
luging the country with the interminable and unvarying
harangueS ..f Sir Charles Wetherell and his active coadju
tors. The scheme has been discovered in time to secure
its signal defeat. Several of the leading llclormers who
were in London met, and were highly indignant st the
trick which was being played, and immediately drew up
a requisition to the Lord Mayor, to call a Court " to take
into consideration the propriety of the Corporation again
expressing its opinion upon the great nreesere of Reform
now p,nding before Parliainent ;" it is understood that
his Lord-hip will fix Wednesday the 7th, for discussing
both requisitions ; there is no doubt of a full attendance.
When such gentlemen as Alderman Scholey, Alderman
Ansley, Mr. Deputy Bpook, and others of the Tories. who
scarcely ever attend the Court of Common Council, except
when there is some patronage to be disposed of, sign, as
in the present case, the requisition, we m;iy assure our-
selues that no exertions will be wanting on their part.
The Reformers, too, will not be unmindful of their duty
on this occasion. •

EGHAM RACES.—YEsrsnrmr.

The doubtful state of the weather yesterday had a pre-
judisiel effect on the attendance, which was much less nu-
merous than on Tuesday, but certainly not lees-than is
usual on the second day. The racing, too, was less inte-
resting, each of the stakes being won without any difficulty :
the Surrey and Middlesex, in particul ,r, disappointed the
expectations of all parties, Pilgrim turning out a regular
clipper. Respecting this colt, the objection started yester-
day is still in abeyance, the Cup stakes and the stakes won
.:y him to•day being withheld till the matter shall have
been inquired into, the general opinion brine that he i.
not more than S yrs. old. None of the Royal Family were
present. There was a tolerable assemblage of fashionables,
including the Duke of Richmond, Marquis and Mar-
chioness of Londonderry, Marquis Graham, Earl of Ux-
bridge, Lord James Fitzroy, Lord Ranelagh, Colonel Rus-
sell, Captain Baring, Colonel Chalkner, Colonel Galway,

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FRENCH PAPERS.

(From the Messager des Chambres, dated Tuesday.)

The liberal Journals endeavonr to distinguish between
the English nation and the Aristocracy, and they attt ibute
to aristocratical tnanonivres the recent attempts to sow dis-
sensions between France and England. The object, they
say, is to defeat the Reform Bill in England, and to re-
vive old jealousies against France, with a view to prevent
the progress of the good cause. " If," says the Coma-
tutionnel,'" the Revolution of July had had no other re-
sults than a mere change of dynasty, Foreign Courts would
have easily taken their resolution. They would easily have
consented to the destruction of the grand legitimacy, pro.
vided the two or three hundred petty Ilitisnacies which it
had engendered had been allowed to exist.

" The abolition of a hereditary Peerage among us will
affect then keen :y the aristocratical classes of the neigh-
bouring countries ;to their eyes this will the most odious
part of our revolution. They could have tolerated the ex-
istence of some liberties, because there are liberties which
are not absolutely incompatible with privileges ; but we
must be prepared to see them rise against our tendency to
equality, and raise up against us all sorts of obstacles. Al-
featly the English Journals, which had shown themselves
favourable to our Revolution, when they had bad only seen
in it an imitation of that which precipitated the Stuarts
from the throne, have declared themselves against France
with an extraordinary violence and coarseness. These
raving attacks, which nothing had provoked, are, however,
merely a repetition of those which are to be found in other
Gazettes of some States of the Continent.
" In almost all the States of Europe, the Members
of the Aristocracy fill the Monarchies, direct the Di-
tahned
mthetheir armies,
resoi
aPriktimidaciC:t'at(e.omtomutisounrs7unthdeythdeispPorsien,cesin,
a word, of the treasures and the blood of the na-
tions. They can be so much the more formidable as they
are united by common dangers sod common interests, and
all the nati"ns nre more or less seeking their enfranchise-
ment. A nation which proclaims its independence and its
liberty, and which advances rapidly towards the a! ulition
of all privileges, offers to all others an example so calcu-
lated to sib nee them, that it would be surprising indeed if
it were net the object of Aristocratical malevolence.
" It must not be inferred from this that we ought to re-
nounce the reform of our institutions, and accept the
regime which the restoration imposed on us in concert
with the foreigner. One position is evident, viz.—that it
is impossible for us to remain stationary. If we were to
wish not to advance, we must resolve to retrograde Is-
pidly, and to descend lower than we were under the Resto-
ration. The only consequence which we wish to draw
from the observations which we have just made, is the oe-
ce,sity of allying prudence and circumspection with rid',

OSis ; -that the ought to avoid fa! nirl:n; pretexts to our
enemies at home and ahrorLd.
" If the different Aristocracies of Europe are against
UP, the people who aspire to be free are in our favour ; we
shall have little to fear from the foreigners so long as the
popular masses shall pronounce for our cause. Hetwe it
is, in reviving against France old rivalries or prejudices
which time had deadened, that the Aristocratical cl t'sts
flatter themselves that they will stop us in the perfecting
our institutlotts. Already we have seen with what promp
titude and what perfidy the English Oligarelo: sought to
turn to account against us the baying rent a fleet to Pot.
tugal and an army to Belgium. ficeordirg to that b. dy,
•:ueli tin expedition could have no other motive but an
insatiable thirst for conquests, and the spirit of rapacity;
it affected not to see that ere could not leave unreptess, d
the insults of Don Miguel without renouncing our honour,
not abandon the Belgian revolution without sacrificing our
dvn. We mug not attri..ute to the national spirit of Eng-
land the violent attacks of which France has been the ob-
ject in some of the Journals of that nation. It is only a
piece of aristocratical tactics to over turn the Itlini,try of
Earl Grey, which struggles for Reform, by persuading the
nation that he knows nut how to defend its interests and
its dignity. Par these forty, years past, that Aristocracy
has only beep able to maintain itself in possession of its
privileges by means of scar. Frotn the moment that
peace is :restored, tie other classes of society resume their
influents and aspire tothe possession of political rights.
War is, diereforei the indirect means by the aid of which
they hope to avoid once more the Reform tif Parliam, nt,
and to replace us ourtielirea under the empire of privileges.
"In France the Arietornicy is almost without in-
&woe° over the press ; it has a few j,iirnals at its diSr-
sition ; but it is not in it. pow,r to influence those which
are the organs of popular opining. it is otherwise in
England. There the Aristocracy possesses immense riches,
and there are very few journals which it cannot induce to
speak a language suitable to it, on condition of liberal pay-
mot. That from which we yesterday made extract#, and
which habitually expresses the opinions of the popular
musses, is particularly known for its venality. It would ,
not, indeed, venture to attack openly the Opinions which it
usually defends, becanse it would instantly lose thereby its
credit; but it has no scruple, when the Aristocracy re-
quires such a service, to excite, under an appearance of
nationality, the passions the most contrary to the interests
and the liberty of the people w;,icli it has the care of de-
fending. Hence, although this journal, in order not to
lose DR readers, supports Reform, we do not doubt that
its invectiVe against France had for its object to inibariais
the Ministers, through whom alone Reform can be ae-
complishid.
" To pr. serve the influence which it exerci,,ts over the
electors, the English Aristocracy have fail on every
device to prolong the debate's on the Bill of Reform; and
it is just to say that they have heen'suceelisful. They
thought that if they could but fatigue the partisans cf Re-
orm, and gain time, circumstances might occur which
should draw the attention of the people- of England to an-
other question. They would consider a war with France ,
as a means of sal, ation, and it is for that object that they
pay libellers against us. They would th sire nothing
better than to see us enter the lists, and to he able to in-
•pire the English people with the sentiments of hatred .
they entertain against us. We hope that no persons in
France will fall into this snare. No one will be tempted
to attribute to a population struggling fur their (nfran--
chisement the sentiments of the classes who op panne it, in
order to be able to live. on the produce of its labour."
It appears that the King of Hullind is raising, fresh
troops: He has ordered a new levy, to supply the gaps of
the army. In the meantime, King Leopold ie plunued in
all sorts of difficulties with his forces, There is no Bel-
gian army; not a •single- Belgian regiment at this mo-
ment. The following are extracts:- • -

(From the Journal du Commerce of Monday.) •
Rams, AUG. 213:---As a complete answer to all that
has been said in Parliament of the orders given to Marshal
Gerard immediately.to withdraw his troops from Belgium,
we publish the following statennnts, dr.ted from Tirlemont,
August 25, ten oVock night---:that is to say, on the
same day that'Lord Gtey and Lord Altborp gave their ex- •
plauations.
MOVEMENTS OF THE FRENCH ARMY IN BELGIUM.

The Division 1:lulot returns by way of Brussels, and
goes to Lille. It wiJ be on the 28th at Brussels; the,
29th at Mille.
The division T. Sebastiani returns to France : the re- •
gim.•nts will return to Givet, by way of Namur; and Va-
lenciennes, by way of Mona.
The Division Teste is going to take up its positions in'

the environs of Engltiernin barrack ramps•
The battery of artillery which accompanied the divi.'on
Hulot joins the division Teste. The brigade of Cavalry of
Lavoesline follows this Division.

The division But roia takes up its position at Namur,
iir rather in the environs of that t iwn, in barrack camps.
The Brigsoe of Cavalry of Digean follows this division.
The division of cavalry (euiras•iers) of Baton Gerard
will be-eantoned on bo h banks of the Sambre.

The Brigade of (clears ieturns to France. It will be
on the 26th at Brussels, the 27th at Halle, the 28th at
Soigne., the 29th at Braine-le-Arnte, where it will wait
for orders.
These various movements will be completed by the 12th
Si ptember The number of the troops reurning imme-
diately to France may be estimated at a little more than
20,000 men. The head-quarters were to set out for
Nivelles on the 26th, and reach that town on the third
day. Care is purposely taken to avoid making the head-
quarters !mai through Brussels.
The Heurcux Union, Captain Raisin, brings us news
from Hayti of the 11th July.
When that vessel sailed great agitation prevailed at
Port-au-Prince. All business was for the moment sass
pended. A great number of the inhabitants, already
alarmed by fear of a war which they considered inevitable,
were removing their most valuable effects to the mountains.
Strangers and their property were respected. The Go-
vernment had employed all its influence to preserve them
from any violence or injury. People think they can see
from the countenance of the inhabitants that they regret
that the differences between the Republic and France could
not be adjusted ; and, notwithstanding the confidence
they appear to place in their means of resistance it is eav
to observe that they dread the hostilities on the part of the
French Government which they have provoked.
The French Consul has advise.' his countrymen to With-
draw as soon as the state of their affairs would possibly
allow, and wl ile they have a favourable opportunity.
Most of the French have listened to this advice.
A new town is rising at the distance of three leagues
from Pmt-au-Prince by the name of Petionviile. The
seat of Government is to be shortly removed thither.
The magazines are full of European goods, but there is
no sale for any thing. Money is scarce-confidence is
destroyed. The crop is entirely exhausted ; so that, for
instance, it was with much difficulty that the Heureux
Union could complete her cargo, though Captain Raisin
paid for coffee as much as Si gourds per 50 killogrammets.
President Beyer set out from Port-au-Prince at the be-
ginning of July on an excursion in the south part of the
island to Jaern,l and Caves. It is said that his object isa
' military survey of those-ports which are preparing
.to de-
fend themselves against attacks, of which, perhaps, there
is no thought in France.
