BRUSSELS, SATURDAY, OCT. 1, THREE O'CLOCK.
Rumours the most conflicting are current, yet every
thing here indicates war. An English messenger passed
through this city last evening, carrying important depatches
to the Hague. They have been communicated to the Bel-
gian Government, and their acts show that they are not
p -dateable. I have come from the Chamber of Represen-
tatives, where the Minister of Justice proposed a law for
preventing all persons, foreigners included, from being
spies, and from holding communication with the enemy.
We have been and we are in a state of war," are words
I have heard from the mouth of this Minister from the
tribune. He proposed this law, which was countersigned
by him and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, acting as Mi-
nister of the Interior. It is to have effect solely during
the war. Foreigners, whose Governments have Ambas-
sadors in this country, are to be protected by them while
they observe laws: others are to be under the surveillance
of the police. This law is to be discussed, as urgent, to-
morrow (Sunday).
The Minister of Foreign Affairs also proposed a law
for a supplementary credit of 300,000 florins, for the re-
pairs of the dikes, near Antwerp. This some persons
consider as tending to peace. He described the injury to
the, neighbourhood as very great. The cut at Lillo, four
months old, is 150 metres broad, and 17 deep, and will
cost 90,000 florins to repair.
The demands submitted by the two contending parties,
both Brlgian and Dutch, have been so extravagant, that it
is supposed the award of the Conference has not been
satisfactory to either. An important declaration is hourly
expected,—it is conjectured to be the answer of the
Belgian Government to the Conference. The question of
peace or war will depend on it.
The Dutch army is formed of 120,000 men, ready for
battle ; the Prussians have 150,000 in the Rhenish pro-
vinces; the French have 150,000 on their northern fron-
tiers, which they are also fortifying; and the Belgians
will soon have 60,000 men ready. I have heard to-day
they are all right to take care of each other, provided Eng-
land and the Conference cannot keep the peace. A foreign
legion is forming, into which all the restless spirits who
come to this country will be received.
Intelligence has arrived here from Namur which states
that the French Colonel, Golstein, has returned thither
as Governor, although no French troops remain there.
The ammunition and provisions belonging to the French
army are, by an order received there yesterday morning,
to remain ; thus contradicting a past order given when the
troops retired. Rumour was busy there, speaking of the
approach of the Prussians to Maestricht and Venloo.
The Government is exerting- itself to the utmost in
putting the country in a state of defence. Encampments,
intrenehed ones, are forming at Ostend, Ghent, Antwerp,
Lierre, and Diest. The King is to go on Monday next to
Diest, to review the troops there. Ostend is also to be put
in a state of defence, particularly as a blockade is spoken of
by the Dutch squadron.
There are greater difficulties than before placed in the
way of travellers going to and coming from the Hague.
Four o'clock.

A Cabinet Council has been called and holden. The
Ministers have gone again to the Chamber. The King,
who came to town this morning, has returned to Lacken.
It is expected that the important intelligence will be com•-
mnunicated every hour, but it may not until to-morrow, as
it seems expected from the Hague. Many think it will
be for peace, as the forced loan bonds have risen 2 per cent.

The death of the Bishop of LONDON'S
father will probably prevent his attendance in the House
of Peers to vote on the Reform Bill. The Bishop of

DURHAM has taken his seat.

The petition presented to the House of Com-
mons by Lord INGESTRIF., on Friday evening, was not
correctly stated in our Parliamentary report on Saturday.
The petition was from JONATHAN Sissox, one of the
Common Council of Dublin, praying for an unpaid Board
of Co.nmissioners to be appointed for Ireland, to sit in
Dublin, on all the loci]. interests of the country, and to be
an organ of communication to Parliament and the Irish
Government.

There was a meeting of Anti-Reforming
Peers on Saturday night, at the Duke of WELLINGTON'S.
Various rumours are afloat as to their resolves. One ac-
count is, that the Duke obstinately stands out against all
Reform ; while, according to another account, they agreed
to a bit-by-bit measure, an illusory sort of Reform, to
which the familiar term of humbug may be given.—
Morning Chronicle.

We have received from high authorities a con-
firmation of our fears that the Bill will be impeded in its
progress through the House of Peers. But the same au-
thorities assure us that it is understood among the friends
of Ministers, that during the late visit of the Loan
CHANCELLOR to Windsor it was arranged, should there be
a necessity, that the KING will prorogue the Parliament in
person, create a new and sufficient list of Peers, and that
Parliament will be re-assembled in December. The ma-
jority against the Bill amounts to eighteen probable—to
eight certain. This of course supposes no additional Peers
to be made before Monday. At first sight the policy would
be to make the necessary number of Peers immediately,
and if not adopted, it will confirm the facts as thus stated,
because Ministers would rather avoid eighteen creations
when half the number might suffice, and it is conjectured
that ten may possibly be absent. Such is the statement
we can make upon the best authority, from direct com-
munications with independent Members of both Houses.
This posture of affairs cannot, however, be contemplated,
without much apptehension.—Norwich Mercury.
CHURCH PATRONAGE.--The elevation of
Dr. WHATELY to the Archiepiscopal see of Dublin reflects
equal credit on the Ministry and on the object of their
choice. He is totally unknown to and unconnected with
the Government, and owes his appointment solely to his
high character: this we know on the best authority.—

Sheffield Courant.
DRURY-LANE THEATRE.-,-011 Saturday
night this theatre was opened for the season, with the play
of The Honeymoon, in which several performers, new to
these boards, made their appearance. Mr. WALLACK
played the Duke Aranza. In melo-dramatic parts, and
in those which admit of that violence and exaggeration
which are easily reached by actors of moderate pretensions,
he is as good as the best; but in parts of a higher and
more intellectual tone he is sadly deficient. Although,
however, it is impossible to he satisfied with his perform-
ance, it is just to add that he took great pains with it,
and did his best to supply those deficiencies of which he
is probably as conscious as the audience were. Miss
PHILLIPS was the Juliana. In the serious and passion-
ate parts she played extremely well, but failed in the
quieter passages, and in those which belong rather to
comedy. Among the first appearances here was Mrs.
BRUDENELL, from the Edinburgh theatre, as Volante.
She is evidently no novice in the business of the stage,
and played this part so well as to induce the belief that
she will be a serviceable addition to the comic strength of
the company. A Miss KENNETH, from Dublin, also ap-
peared for the first time as Zamora, and agreeably sur-
prised us by executing that little part with uncommon
delicacy and skill. A Mr. JONES, from Edinburgh, who
we are told has before appeared upon the London boards,
, played, for the first time at this theatre, Rolando. There
is an ease and self-possession about him which incline us
to think he has some of the true qualifications for acting,
but he labours under the disadvantages of a very shrill
thin voice, a peculiarity of utterance which seems to be
occasioned by a superabundance of teeth, and a most
meagre figure. He played Rolando with a certain quiet-
ness of tone, which, although it differed from the concep-
tions of other actors, who have usually given a touch of
rough blustering to the part, was not without its merit.
Mr. HARLEY, as Jaquez, appeared to greater advantage
than we ever remember to have seen him. The play,
which was extremely well received, was followed by The
Brigand, in which Mr. \Vara-act:, in his own province,
was most eminently as Mussaroni.
OLYMPIC TIIEA TRE.—This theatre re-
opened on Saturday evening. Two of the entertainments
of the last season, the Chaste Salute, and Olympic
Revels, were revived on this occasion, and the third was a
new version of a French piece, which is produced here
under the title of Talk of the Devil, but which is already
'known to the public, having been more than once before
" adapted from the French,"and performed at other theatres
under different titles. The house was crammed in every part.

At the close of the poll on Saturday, Lord Ashley was
in a majority of 196 on the day's poll. This unlooked-for
event is easily accounted for. Saturday is the market-
day at Dorchester, where the poll is held, and Mr. Far-
quharson, the fox-hunter, brought up all his tenants and
friends who attend the market to vote for Lord Ashley.
Mr. Ponsonbv's friends, on the contrary, reside principally
in the different towns and villages which are scattered about
the county, and it was inconvenient for the voters to leave
their homes at the end of the week. We doubt not, how-
mr, that the friends of Reform will press forward during
the next wi ek, and speedily regain the ground they have
lost. Throughout the whole county the cause is most en-
thusiastically supported. The efforts made by Lord Ashley's
friends are quite frantic : supported as they are by the
money which the boroughmongers have subscribed to main-
tain the existence of a system which has proved so profit-
able to them, it is not to he wondered at that they have
thrown some obstacles in the way of the Reformers, who
felt convinced that they had done enough to satisfy the
people of England, that Dorsetshire was true to the cause
when they returned Mr. Calcraft at the late election.
Before Lord Ashley announced himself, all the carriages and
horses in the county were taken up by his friends, and the
Reformers were obliged to send to Salisbury, Shaftesbury,
and even as far as Exeter, to procure a sufficient number
of vehicles to convey the voters to the poll. This circum-
stance has also retarded the polling on behalf of Mr. Pon-
sonby in no inconsiderable degree. We repeat that we do
not feel the least hesitation in saying, that before the middle
of the next week, Mr. Ponsonby will be in a glorious ma-
jority. The temporary success of the Anti-Reformers has
roused the spirit of the voters, who are " good men and
true;" and we understand they will appear in great force
this day (Monday) to record their names on a poll which is
regarded with more attention than any we ever heard of.
