DOVER, JUNE 27.

Le Comte D'Aerschot, M. Vanderweyer, and the other Bel-
gian Deputies, arrived here from London this morning about ten
o'clock, and immediately hired a steam.packet, in which they
proceeded for Ostend. They will reach Ostend by about five
o'clock this afternoon. It is understood they are the bearers of
Prince Leopold's consent to accept the Crown of Belgium.
Shortly after the departure of the Belgian Deputies, M. Casimir
Perier, jun. arrived with a courier from London, and proceeded
for Calais immediately in an open boat. He is supposed to be
the bearer of Prince Leopold's acceptance of the Belgian Crown
to the French Government. _ _

The Deputies will be very coNially received at Ostend. The
Belgians are, it is said, almost unanimous in their wish to have
Prince Leopold for their King, in their expectation that his
arrival will put an end to the anarchy and confusion that has so
long existed in the Netherlands;

Several engagements were made on the July Stakes, Lord Jer.
sey's colt and Non Compos being most in demand. Some busi.
ness was also transacted in the St. Leger; Sir John was in gene-
ral request, 5.0 to 1 finding eager takers. Rubini and Circassian
were also backed at those odds, but did not, like Sir John, rise in
consequence. Riddlesworth and Marcus were backed to two or
three hundred pounds, at 7 to 1 and Bto 1. The closing odds
averaged as follow :

The Duke of WELLINGTON'S health, coupled
with his spare habits, has of late been such, as to be by
no rums satisfactory to his medical attendants, who, it
is said, have pressed upon his Grace the propriety of a
more generous diet than the scanty food his active military
habits have accustomed him to.

Lord ELDON has obtained a proxy for his
brother, Lord STOWELL.

Lord WYNFORD has intimated that, on Tues-
day, he shall renew his Bill " for the prevention of Frauds
on Creditors ;" and that he will afterwards apply for leave
to introduce a Bill "to prevent the delay of Suits in
Common Law Courts."

THE PEERS.—A statement is going the
round of the Papers, as to the probable votes of the Peers
on the Reform Bill. The result is thus given :—for the
Bill, 116 ; against it, 118 ; doubtful, 60; absent, &c.,
19 ;—the total number of which is 313. Now, there
happen to be exactly four hundred Peers (87 more than
are here taken into calculation); so that perhaps another
word is unnecessary to show how little reliance is to be
placed on this statement.

MEMBERS SUMMONED ON JURIES.—The
SPEAKER last night inthnateil that several Members of

the House of Commons had been summoned to attend on
Juries, and that distresses to levy the fines incurred by
non-attendance to the summonses were in progress. Ile
felt quite assured, he said, that such proceeding must be
the result of inadvertence, and that this public notice
would be sufficient to prevent further proceedings in
such matters.

Mr. AYSIIFORD SANFORD'S name was by
mistake omitted as amongst the County Members who
went with the Address to his MAJESTY.

Every body asks what was the use of stuffing
the cholera morbus into the KING'S Speech, and thus
alarming the country from one end to the other, while all
the lower parts of the town are suffered to remain in a
state of filthiness sufficient in itself to breed contagious
diseases ? It is the duty of the Government not to
frighten the people, but to sooth their fears, and to take
those measures of precaution with regard to cleanliness
which would probably have the effect of preventing the
disease visiting us at all. People have an idea that Lon-
don is a very clean place ; and so it is, as far as regards
the principal streets ; but the courts, alleys, and back
streets, which are not visited by the scavengers more than
once a month, are for the most part in an abominable
dirty state—quite as bad as the Continental towns, if not
worse. If, instead of moving for useless papers in the
House of Commons relative to the cholera morbus, some
one would move that the streets be cleansed and the houses
of the poor whitewashed, he would be rendering a service
to the country. For our part we believe that if common
prudence were exercised on the part of the authorities,
which is not, there would be no cause fur alarm.—Morn•
ing Herald.
The Second Chamber of the States of
the Grand Duchy of Baden have unanimously expressed
their wish, that the censorship should be abolished, and
the principle of the liberty of the Press established. Who
knows bat in the progress of the world towards perfection,
our own free city may Lave to rejoice in the recovery of
the freedom of the Press.—An erroneous notion exists,
that the German States are bound by the resolutions of
the Congress of C rrlsbad to maintain the censorship. The
fact is that isy those resolutions the several States only bound
themselves to restrain the licentiousness of the Press, but
the censorship was not once mentioned.—Hamburg

PAGANINI would give another Concert, in wLich he

THEATRE ROYAL COVENT-GARDEN.-
At the end of the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, Mr.
BARTLEY, the Stage-Manager, delivered the following
Address on the close of the season :—" Ladies and Gen-
tlemen—Our theatrical season terminates this evening,
and I am instructed by the Proprietors to offer their best
acknowledgments for the support they have received, and
to assure you that the ensuing recess shall be employed by
them in unremitting efforts to merit an increase of your
patronage. On Monday, the Sd of October, Ladies and
Gentlemen, this Theatre will re-open ; until then, in the
name of the Proprietors and all the Performers, I again beg
leave to offer our united thanks, and most respectfu:ly to
bid you farewell."

LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 28, 1831.

Prince LEOPOLD has at length accepted the
Crown of Belgium, for the particulars of which
we refer to the article from the Times, under
the Spirit of the Public Journals—

" 11 'twere well done, would it were done quickly."

We have received the Hamburg Reporter
and other Papers of the 24th instant, by which
we are happy to learn that the report of the cho-
lera morbus having appeared at Hamburg is un-
founded. The city was at that period perfectly
healthy.
The news from the Seat of War is not yet of
a decisive character, but we may daily expect to
have importaht events to communicate. The
Hamburg Reporter takes the same view of the
Generalissimo's probable plan of campaign as
we stated in The Sun yesterday. Having had
such time to recruit his army, and such oppor-
tunities for ascertaining the weak points of the
enemy, it is reasonable to suppose that the Polish
General would not take the field without having
a definite object in view, both to encourage his
own troops by a victorious onset after the battle
of Ostrolenka, and to strike terror into the
enemy. We are the more led to this cobeluSion
from the fact that the Polish army broke up
from its cantonments the next morning after
the news of DIEBITSCH'S death was known
at Warsaw, so that the Generalissimo would
be upon the enemy's quarters before they
had well recovered from their astonishment at
the sudden death of their Commander-in-Chief.

It appears by these Papers that the main
Russian army was not only in great want of
provisions, but in a complete state of disorganiza-
tion—so much so, that General Count ORLOFF,
who had been sent from St. Petersburgh to
report upon its condition, was so struck at what
he saw at bead-quarters, that he expressed his
displeasure to the Field-Marshal. If this be
really the fact, we do not see how the Russians
can well maintain their footing in their present
position. The further object of Count
ORLOFF'S journey is said to have been to ask
permission of the King of PRUSSIA to permit
the transit of provisions and supplies for the
army from Dantzic, without being subjected to
the delay of quarantine. So urgent was the
Count upon this mission, that he broke through
the Prussian regulations on the frontiers, and
actually presented himself at Berlin, in the
presence of the Court, without undergoing the
necessary purification ! The KING is said to have
taken high umbrage at this unceremonious visit,
or to have been so alarmed that he ordered the
Count to quit his dominions without even grant-
ing the object of his mission. This is the Prus-
sian version ; but we are much mistaken unless it
turn out a very different affair in reality. Why
should his Prussian MAJESTY refuse the
transit of supplies, when it is notorious that
every facility had been hitherto afforded not
only for that purpose, but that Prussia herself
had furnished the Russian army with every ne-
cessary ? No, no, the real object will turn out
to have been to ask permission for the Russian
army to take refuge from the Poles, should it
not be able to maintain its ground ;—and the
hope of a retreat being cut off by the formidable
character of the insurrection in Lithuania, joined
to the certainty of being harassed by the army
of SKRYZNECKI, in close pursuit. It was
this feeling that no doubt Frompted the
Field-Marshal to despatch two of his di-
visions into Lithuania, while there was yet
an opening for them, as well as to procure pro-
visions which were so scanty at head-quarters.
The news from Lithuania is daily more cheer-
ing. Gen. GIELGUD was joined by large bodies
of insurgents, and C H RAPOWSKI, after capturing
Slonim, proceeded by forced marches to Wilno,
which place would certainly surrender to the
combined forces in the neighbourhood of that
important capital.
The following are a few further extracts from
these Papers ;

Sr. PETERSBURCif, JUNE 11.—The Journals of the
last three days contain various official reports from the
army in Poland relative to the various actions, to the
battle of Ostrolenka inclusive.

Accounts from Archangel, of the 27th of May, say that
no foreign ship had yet arrived there ; the inland trade
was very active. Four hundred and sixty ships have
already arrived at Cronstadt, and one hundred and seventy-
two have sailed.
According to authentic accounts from Warsaw the ma'ir►
Polish army has marched towards Nur and the river

General Uminski, whom the Polish Journals have not
mentioned for some time, is said to have now received his
discharge, as well as the Chief of his Staff, General Rad-

HAMBURG, JUNE 2;3.—His Majesty the King of Den-
mark arrived yesterday evening in Altana, where the lio-

tel Rainnelle was prepared for his reception. He was
welcomed with the most joyful acclamations.
TOCKIIOI.3I, Justz I7.—His Majesty's schooner Ex
periment, which was sent to Riga on the Ist instant, has
now returned, and Lieut. Hjelm, who commands it, has
given his report to the Boaid of Quarantine. He arrived
on the 6th off Demamande, refused the pilot who came
out, and desired that the Council should come to him.
who accordingly came along side the next day in a boat,
and, without coming on board, made a verbal report t.
him. The schooner did not receive a letter, or have any
communication with skips, or with the shore, or with any
other person, and all on board are well. The accoure
given by the Consul is as follows :—lt was not till the
26th of May that the cholera morbus was noticed
at Riga, whither it came from Scharlen or Lithuania,
without the intervening country being affected by it. Up
to the 6th, about 900 persons had died at Riga. Ever)
body was convinced that it was not contagious, but came
from the atmosphere. Death or recovery speedily fol-
lowed the attack ; the symptoms of the cholera were throw-
ing up water with a kind of flux, the mass of the blood
becomes thin and almost like water. The preventatives em-
ployed at Riga were chlorite of lime to fumigate the cham-
bers, or dissolved in vinegar to sprinkle them, peppermint
tea was also considered to be a preservative. The labour-
ing poor and inferior classes at Riga, were chiefly attacked
by the disease, which according to accounts was abating; there
were some slight appearances of the disorder at Mitau. There
had been likewise vague 4 reports that it had .hewn itself
at Hamburg. In Livonia and the army it had nearly dis-
appeared, and in the places where it now manifests itself
no fears of its being contagious are felt. The Consul had,.
however, intimated t•. all Swedish 'and Norwegian ships,
that wherever they went they would be placed tinder qua-
rantine. There were at that time many Swedish and
Norwegian ships at Riga, chiefly laden with provisions for
the Government to go to Dantzic. On board several of
the Ships, especially the English, a great part of the crews
had the cholera.

HAMBURG, JUNE 22.—According to accounts from
Riga, of the 13th, the number of persons attacked by
cholera to the 12th was 2,341 ; 1,202 had died, and 675
recovered. _ _ _

Letters from Archangel say that there have been dim
cases of cholera there.

* These reports are indeed very vague, as well as a similar
notice in the Journal Universal of Carlsruhe. They are both
unworthy of serious consideration here.—Note of the Editor of
the Hamburg Borsen Halle.

In the House of Commons last night some
remarks were made on the subject of the dis-
turbances that took place in some parts of Scot-
land during the recent elections. The LORD
ADVOCATE observed that these disturbances
would be scrupulously inquired into, that in-
dictments had been already filed respecting some
of them, and corrcluded by expressing hia sincere
regret that they had occurred. An Hon. Mem-
ber hinted that they had all been more or less
occasioned by the Reformers, which insinuation
brought up Mr. FERGUSON, who insisted
that it was the opposition to Reform which
had produced the riots in Scotland. The
Hon. Member is perfectly correct in his
statement. Had it not been for the stupid, per-
severing obstinacy of the Anti-Reformers, not
the ghost of a disturbance would have occurred
from one end of Scotland to the other. It was
these men who were the first to break the peace,
embroil parties, and then lay their own offences
at the door of their adversaries. The Ultras in
Scotland played the same desperate game as the
Ultras in England and Ireland ; there is not
a pin to choose between the three ; all strove
equally hard to create tumult and disaffection, and
all (thank God !) but very partially succeeded. The
good sense of the people at once pointed out to
them the absurdity and worthlessness of that cause,
which untenable by argument and reason, could
only be supported by insubordination. In reply
to some enquiries respecting the fleet now as.
sembled at Portsmouth, Sir J. GRAHAM said
that it was only collected there for the
purpose of putting in practice those evo-
lutions which were requisite to keep up
unimpaired the efficiency of the naval force. The
Right Hon. Member then brought forward the
Navy Estimates, all which were passed, with
little or no opposition, in an unusually short
space of time. Sir H. PARNELL afterwards
brought forward the Army Estimates, which
were also agreed to. In the Upper House
little or nothing of importance transpired. Lord
ORFORD made some remarks on the subject of
the cholera, to which the Marquis of LANS-.
DOWNE satisfactorily replied.

The French Papers of Sunday, and those
dated Monday, have been received, but they
contain no news of importance. The cholera
morbus was beginning to produce some alarm
at Paris.

The French Chambers are now convoked
eighteen da3s earlier than waN at first intended—
for what reason remains to be seen. The liberal
and patriotic Correspondent of the Morning
Chronicle, 0. P. Q. gives the following specu-
lations upon a subject which is at the least start-
ling, and rather ominous to the friends of Lours
PHILIP :
" The Moniteur of to-day (Saturday) informs us, in its
official psrr, that the French Chambers are convoked for
the 23J July, instead of the 9th of August ! This is a
curious and important fact, and has given rise to the fol.
lowing conjeetmes. Take them as they are given you.
I vouch for nothing:—lst. It is said that Louis Philip
does not wish to be alone with his Ministers during the
anniversary of the July Revolution ; but wishes, in
case of need! to be surrounded by the Peers and De-
puties ! 2d. It is said that Louis Philip wishes to
learn before the anniversary of the Revolution, whe-
ther his Ministers have or have not a majority ; in
order, that if not, he may change them before the
27th July !! ! 3d. It is said, that as the Speech from the
Throne will be warlike, Louis Philip wishes to pronounce
it before the anniversary of July, in order to prevent po-
pular tumults ! and 4th, It is said (I hope not truly), that
the Casimir Perier Ministry has resolved on not celebrat-
ing the Revolution of July, but intends to propose the
repeal of the law which directed that celebration this
year ! ! !
,6 Our position is singular. Have patience and you will
see strang things! ! but above all, I pray you assist the
Poles. " O. P. Q."

We copy the following from the Burks
Gazette of Saturday:—,, A spirit of revenge is
making its appearance in the borough of St.
Alban's against those tradesmen who at the late
election. had the courage to exercise the right of
private judgment in the choice of their represen-
tatives in Parliament. Two innkeepers, who
have heretofore been patronized by the Earl
of VERULAM'S family, have been deprived of
hsupport. A hatter, who had the honour
to u
his Lordship's family with three livery
hats annually, for several years, has received a
formal letter from his steward in terms of dis-
missal. These and similar instances have sown
the seeds of a most determined opposition to all
future pretensions of his Lordship to influence
the election in this borough." We hope, for
the credit of the Earl of VERULAM'S family, that
their

this paragraph is not correct. We should regret
to find that the late arbitrary conduct of the Duke
of NEWCASTLE and the Marquis of EXETER
towards those of their tenants who resolved to
sacrifice se!f-interest to the luxury of conscience,
