LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 9, 1831.

The grand ceremony of the Coronation, to-
gether with the illuminations and other public
rejoicings that followed it, went off with the ut-
most eclat.

The Paris Papers contain no news of moment.
The National announces the failure of General
BAUDRAND'S mission to London, for the pur-
pose of obtaining the concurrence or the Con-
ference in the wish of his Majesty King LEO-
POLD, that a portion of the I.'l-end troops
should remain in Belgium. The rumour of
General ItuDwEß's defeat by the Poles is still
kept up, and also that he has been compelled to
take refuge in Gallicia.

The following are extracts from Lisbon
Gazettes, received this morning. They contain
nothing of importance :
LISBON.—OFFICIAL.
" Head-quarters, Palace of Queluz, Aug. 22, 1831.
" ORDER OF THE DAY.
" The King our Sovereign, as Commander 'in-Chief of the
army, orders me to declare that a part of the tld regiment
of infantry of Lisbon having beer. led astray and mutinied,
succeeded in leaving its quarters at a quarter past ten
o'clock at night, on the 21st instant, and having violently
removed the colours and fired upon the other part which re-
mained faithful and obedient with its officers, proceeded
to the Roeio, were it was immediately attacked and after-
wards taken prisoner by the other corps of the garrison
of Lisbon, which decidedly and bravely fell upon it, so that
at two o'clock in the morning all was tranquil, without the
inhabitants of the capital having taken any part in this
attempt.
" The fidelity, subordination, discipline, and good spirit,
with which the corps of all the army
behaved on this oe_
casion, deserves the praise and Royal approbation of his
Majesty. (A true copy.)

LISBON, At:G. 24.—An order of the day of the 24th
of August announces his Majesty's orders to try the soldiers
of the 2d Regiment who took part in the mutiny, to be
tried by a Court-martial, to which order is subjoined the
following decree:—
" A part of the 2d Regiment of Infantry of Lisbon
having been guilty of the crime of rebelling against my
Royal person, and contrary to the oath a hick it had taken,
sallying in the night of the 21st inst. front its quarters,
uttering seditious cries, and endeavouring to maintain by
arms its shameful rebellion, and the individuals of that
corps who bad revolted having been repelled and imme-
diately taken prisoners, by the fidelity, valour, and firm-
nesf of the other corps of the garrison of this capital, par-
ticularly by the Royal Police Guard of Lisbon and the 4th
Regiment of Infantry, which were the nearest to the spot
where the mutiny took place ; far these reasons I have
thought fit that the mutinee-s shall be tried by a Court-
martial, which shall immediately meet, and of which I have
thought fit to appoint Brigadier-General John Antonin de
Azeredo Lemos, President ; and members Brigadier- Gene-
ral F. E. de Carvallo; Colonel J. da Rosa e Frusa ; Lieu-
tenant-Colonel J. J. Dontel, and Major Jant. Rebocko;
and Auditor A. Jon quiet de Gouvea Pinto, Judge of the
Casa da Supplicagto ; and this, notwithstanding any laws
or deetees which have determined that crimes of this na-
ture shall be judged by civil or mixed tribunals, all which
I ant pleased to suspend for this case only. . The Conde
des Lorenco, Member of my Council of State for the War
Department, will give the necessary orders for the execu-
tion of this my Royal decree.
(With his Majesty's Signature )
" Palace of Queluz, Aug. 24, 1831."
"Conformably to the above, the Governor of the capital
and the province of Estremadura will order a convenient
apartment in Fort St. George to be prepared for the Sit-
ting of the Court•martial, giving orders that the accused
shall be produced whenever the President desires, and that
the other demands of the Court-martial be promptly at-
tended to. " Conde de BARBACENA.

LISBON, AUGUST 26.—The King, with his usual suite,
went yesterday, at noon, to various military quarters of
the capital, which had not before been honoured by his
august presence. Sentiments of extraordinary enthusiasm
and fidelity were manifested on this occasion, in the most
brilliant manner, by all the brave corps, which vied with
each other in displaying the pure loyalty which they feel
fur our legitimate King, who so nobly wields the sceptre
which he has inherited according to the fundamental laws
of the Monarchy. It was easy to read i❑ the countenance
of our adored Sovereign, that his royal heart enjoyed the
most delicious sensations at this moment. The King seat
a father in the midst of affectionate children, receiving
the most lively testimonies of pure love, unshaken fidelity,
and true attachment. It were to be wished that these
scenes could be witnessed by some of those calumniators

who write at so much per line, and who but we will
not deviate from thegreatcontempt which we feel for them.
[The Gazette describes the rejoicings at these several
quarters, which were brilliantly illuminated, as well as the
Darts of, the city through which his Majesty passed.

Gnehtenal4 the corninand has fallen to the senior General
present, General Von Boder, who will probably retain it,
as with the exception of die Princes and General Von
13erstell in Coblentz, Von Ziethen in Breslau, anti
Duke Charles of Mecklenburg in Berlin, he is
the senior General of the army. As soon as the affairs of
Poland are settled, the number of troops on the frontier,:
will probably bo much diminished, the regiments of
landwehe sent to their homes, and those of the line re-
moved to the Oder, where they will perform quarantine,
and then go farther to the west.
At present Prussia has on the Weser and on the other
side of the Riline•only the 2d carps, under General Von
Jagow, the 7th about Munster, under General Muffling,
anti the Sth about Csblentz, under General Von Berstell,
which, when the landwebr is called out, would make
about 90,000 or 100,000 men. The Duke of Wellington
is now the only Field-Marshal in our army.
it is said that Duke Charles of Mecklenburg will be
raised to that rank, with the Government of Berlin at-
tached to it.

The evacuation of Belgium by the troops of
France has, it appears, been consented to by the
French Government. This
was to be expected
from a Minister who has ;hewn so decided a
leaning to British influence as M. CASIMIR
PERIER ; and, we may add, the French Go-
vernment could not have acted otherwise, for
having, merely as the instrument of the Con-
ference, sent troops into Belgium, to fulfil the
resolutions of the Conference, France could
only deal with those troops as the Conference
in general might direct. It was not for France
to judge, independently of the other Powers, of
the necessity of keeping a portion of her forces
in Belgium, for by being a party to the
Conference of London she had deprived herself
of the rig!it of private judgment in that respect.
If the Belgic expedition had been the isolated
act of the French Government, as representing
the French nation, the case would have been
quite different, and it might then have fairly been
alleged, that the objects of the expedition could
not be said to be accomplished, whilst a strong
Dutch army was drawn up on the frontier, and
before any treaty of peace had been signed.
Certainly, we do not perceive what inauspicious
result could have followed the delay of 10,000
French troops in Belgium, nor is there any sub-
stantial difference between their continuing within
the Belgic territory and their being stationed on
the frontier immediately without it. The cackle of
the Ultra Tories on this subject has been truly ab-
surd, as well as highly mischievous in its object
of embroiling two friendly Governments, besides
its supplemental purpose of embarrassing the
present Ministers. Nothing can be more unfair
than to judge the French Cabinet by the conduct
of the opposition, or of the Journals in that
country. M. PERIER, though deservedly un-
popular at home, is entitled to great credit for
his good faith in his foreign relations, as well
as for his good will towards Great Britain
in particular. If, therefore, the French Jour-
nals talk of ulterior objects, such as the separa-
tion from Belgium and annexation to France of
the Duchy of Bouillon, Philippeville, and Ma-
riembourg, of which she was deprived in 1815,
or even the extension to the Rhine of the
French frontier—it is very unjust to charge such
extravagancies upon the Ministry of Louts
PHILIPPE. The sole question is, whether the
French Government has had any intention of
deceiving the Great Powers acting in concert
with it. We believe no such thing, and have
some doubts whether it would not have been
better, c;i the whole, for the settlement of the
Belgic question, if the troops had been allowed
to remain. But as it would appear that they
are now gone, or going, the French Government
must be allowed to have acted with strict pro-
priety in surrendering its own own judgment to
that of the Conference.

The situation of the Belgians ought to be
more interesting to the friends of freedom, be-
cause the Great Powers have entirely taken from
them the management of their own affairs.
Belgium is now under the protection of the
Conference of London, pretty much in the
same way as the lonian islands are under that
of Great Britain. There is assuredly no ground
to impute to the Government of King LEOPOLD
any desire of frustrating the pacific views of the
Allies, or of offering any obstacle to the effect-
ing the plan of a general• disarming of the Euro-
pean Powers, which is one of M. PERIER'S
vain chimeras. The end of the Belgic ques-
tion will he to Europe any thing rather
than an abandonment of arms. The lan-
guage of Austrian diplomatists—the threats
of the German Diet—the military preparations
on the right bank of the Rhine—the eagerness
of the Monarchical party as well as the Carlists
in France—are very far from being indications of
a general disposition to disarm. But into what-
ever difficulties the Protocol-makers may ulti-
mately fall amongst each other, all Europe is
deeply concerned in the independence and pros-
perity of the Belgian Monarchy. There is not
on this side of the Atlantic a Constitutional
Government so theoretically perfect as that of
Belgium, and that it may work well is the fer-
vent hope of the friends of liberty in England.
The opening of the Chambers at Brussels during
the present week will be an event of much inte-
rest as well as importance.

There is a man at present in the Infirmary of
the county Leitrim whose leg. the Terry Alts endeavoured
to cut off with a reving-hook ; they wounded one leg ter-
ribly, and cut across the tendon Achilles of the other. It
was done by a woman, while the poor man was held foi
her to operate upon by her two brothers.----Limerick
