MONUMENT AT WATERLOO.—The following is
an account. given, by a recent traveller, of the monument now
erecting by order o the Netherlands overnment, to comme-
morate the battle .f of Waterloo :—" G
The monument, as it
is called, has a very imposing effect, even in its unfinished
state. It is an earthen mound or hill, of a conical form, resem-
bling the one on the Bath road, near Kennett, but of larger
dimensions, and more striking appearance. It is of immense
size, being upwards of 700 feet diameter at the bass, or 2,160
feet circumference. It is 200 feet high, and 100 feet in diameter
at the top ; there is a double carriage road winding round it,
in a spiral form, and supplying an easy means of ascent for
carriages to the very top ; and by this road the materials have
been, and are, conveyed to complete the work. In the centre
is a shaft of brick-work, which has been carried up from the
bottom, and is still going on. It is to be 60 feet higher than
the top of the mound, making the whole height 260 feet. It
is intended for apedestal, to receive a lion, 21 feet long, and
12 feet high, which is ready to be put up when the work is
finished. This mound has been 18 months in hand, and is to be
completed in six more, and from what has been already done,
little doubt remains that it will be so. For the first twelve
months 2,000 men, 600 horses, and as many carts as could be
kept at work, were employed on it, and the number has only
been reduced as the termination of this great undertaking ap-
proaches. At present, as the works are going on, at the top
it has a pleasing appearance, from the great number of horses,
carts, and people ascending and descending by the winding
road."

WHITECHAPEL Scnoot.s.--Yesterday the usual
' annual examination of the children educated at the Whitechapel
branch of the National Free Schools, took place at the spacious
School-room, in Initechapel-road. Long before the hour for
commencing the business of the day, the room was filled with a
crowded assemblage of the more respectable part of the
parishioners, whose early attendance manifested the lively inte-
rest they took in the welfare ofthe Society. A little after 1 o'clock,
the Lard Bishop of London, attended by Archdeacon Potts,
Vicar of Kensington : the Rev. Mr. Crosbie, Rector of Shore-
ditch; the Rev. Mr. Simpson; the Resident M aster of the Sch ool;
withe Clergyman of the parish, the Secretary, Treasurer, and
I Gentlemen of the Committee, appeared upon the platform, when
his Lordship as one of the Patrons of the Institution took the
Chair. The examinations were then entered on, and consisted
in scriptural and catachetical explanations, reading, spelling,
and arithmetic. The answers were so accurate and ready, t:s
frequently to draw forth the marked approbation of his Lord-
ship and the auditors, and the appearance of the children,
amounting to above 400, reflected the highest credit on those
persons who have the management of the institution. At the
conclusion of the examination the National Anthem was played.
from the organ, and accompanied by the voices of the children,
after which they all, boys as well as females, passed by the
platform, and each, was presented with a large cake, provided
by the ommittee.

On Monday- night Miss FooTE made her first
appearance at Glasgow Theatre, in the character of Letitia
Hardy. The house was crowded in every part. There were
very few ladies in the lower boxes, but there were females in
the upper boxes and pit. On her entry she was greeted with
four distinct peals of applause, without the slightest token shewn
of disapprobation.

A pair of dashing swindlers have established
themselves in a splendid ready furnished mansion
in Gloucester-place, and have been levying con-
tributions on credulous tradesmen with a facility
and success hardly to be conceived.

ACCIDENT AT II ASTINGS•—A distressing ca-
tastrophe occurred on Tuesday afternoon, oppo-
site the Marine Parade, to a young gentleman, 9
years of age, of the name of Foster, a visitant at
Mr. Breed's, in hill-street. As the unfortu-
nate youth was standing on the shingles, to the
leeward of the Rose pleasure-boat, to witness
her being launched with a party of ladies
on board, from one of the houses in Pelham-
place, for an acquatic excursion, a sudden
and violent gust of wind from the north. west,
broke the main-mast, the end of which, in fall-
ing,struck his head with such force as to produce
an external wound of the scalp, and a fracture of
the external and internal tables of the cranium,
of considerable extent over both parietal bones,
and to the os fronds. Although the operation of
trepanning was skilfully performed by several
surgeons, the youth died immediately after the.
completion of the operation.

Ext, uct s from the Morning. Papers, Oct. 28, 1825.

[THE TIMES.]
We have spoken more than once lately of the
-situation of the Dutch Government, in conse-
,quence of the conduct 'of the Belgic clergy, ex-
cited and fomented by the Pope of Rome. This
is a most unlucky occurrence certainly, at the
present period, though we place much reliance
on the temper and discietion of the King of the
Netherlands for a happy termination of the rising
•trouhles. People may express surprise, that " at
this time of day," as they are wont to speak, such
a personage as a Pope should he suffered to dis-
till b the tranquillity of States : but they should
recollect that the difference between 44 this time
of day"----that is, between the 19th century and
14th century—is chiefly owing to the reformation
,of religion in the various parts of Europe, and to
the general knowledge diffused by that event ;
and that where reformation has not yet penetrated,
there ignorance, with its concomitant train of
evils, is to be expected. The chief reason, indeed,
why we have supported Catholic Emancipation
is, not our want of apprehension respecting the
spirit of Popery,but our confidence in the enlight-
ened minds of the great mass of the inhabitants of
the United Kingdom, from which we conceive that
we should admit our Catholic brethren to light,
not suffer them to drag us back into darkness ;
for, unquestionably, if Popery, and relics, and
miracles, and saints, and indulgences, and abso-
lutfons, were to prevail again, the human mind
would be again shut up in darkness ; the extin-
guisher of the Vatican would be clapped upon it,
which it would require another convulsion of Eu-
rope to shake off. Had it not been for our Re-
formation, Bacon would never have dared to phi-
losophize ; and Newton, like his predecessor Ga-
lileo, must have been cast into the Inquisition.—
The two greatest lights" of human nature would
thus have been smothered. The Revolution, of
course, could not have ensued, for all would have
been Popery,—there would have been no Pro-
testants to drive the tyrant from his throne ; a
crafty Italian would have ruled at St. James's,
and carried away the first fruits of our lands to
he eaten at Rome. Btrt not only do we owe to
the happy Reformation all the domestic advan-
tages by' which we are distinguished above other
States, but to it also—to the Reformation—are
we indebted for our present political consequence
and territorial grandeur. It is through the 'Re-
formation only that we are the great people
that we now are ; for when the Reformation
took place, we were sunk to nothing—we
were but the 'nava nominis umbra. The
statement of a very few undeniable facts will
make this assertion perfectly clear. It is very true
that in the " olden time" we were generally a
match for France. But why ?—because we were
larger than France. More than a third, and
very nearly half of that kingdom, even as it is
now constituted, belonged to us—was a part of
us. Is it, then, to he wondered at that we could
sometimes oppress the other part? Or, even
placing England out of the question, is it strange
that the possessor of Normandy, Britanny, Anjou,
Touraine, Maine, Guienne, Poictou, Xaintonge,
Auvergne, Perigord, Angoumois, and the Limou-
sin, should be crowned King of France at Paris ?
The battle of Crecy was fought during an inroad
into our territories ; the battle of Poitiers was
fought in our territories ; the battle of Agincourt,
in our territories. But France went on gradually
stripping us of these provinces one after another ;
she took our last hold from'us in the reign of bloody
Queen Mary. Calais was a much more unap-
proachable place, and more difficult of conquest,
than Dover : yet the French had taken Calais.
Scotland and Ireland were both hostile to us; the
former alied to our enemies. We were sunk,
reduced to nothing. We were not a mouthful
compared to what we had been. What, then,
could save us ? Irappily the Reformation had
made some progress among us. We were warm
at heart, and that unconquerable spirit, which
religion, and above all a true religion, ever in-
spires, was kindling and kindled. We were
Protestants, and our natural rivals, France and.
Spain, were Papists. The Chief of Christendom,
the infallible head of the infallible church, be-
stowed, as he had a right to do, the heretic king-
dom upon his true sons. It was not absurd in
him to christen the Armada invincible ; for, our
position being taken into consideration, it was in-
vincible on every principle of hurnae reason-
ing. But who , can calculate on the issue
of a war of which religion forms the animating
motive ? Then sprung up the mighty Elizabeth—
the greatest Monarch (notwithstanding her fe-
minirre foibles) that ever swayed the sceptre ;
and with a sagacity more than human, mingling
her existence as a Sovereign with the preserva-
tion of the true faith—lashing herself to the
mainmast of the Reformation—on that vessel she
securely rode the storm, and established the in-
dependence of her kingdom. Then were felt
more than seen the sagacious counsels of a Bur-
leigh and a Walsingham ; and then blazed out
the ardent courage of a Hawkins, a Frobisher,
and a, Drake-. The Reformation was in every
man's heart, and on every man's tongue. The
Reformation saved us then, and formed also the
nucleus of our future gandeur. The Reforma-
tion 'snatched the Seven United Provinces from
the tyranny of Spain. With the Reformation
the right of free discussion was introduced into
the world—access to the word of God was al-
lowed—the Protestant interests in Europe formed
the subject of every political discussion, on an arti-
cle of every treaty. We would advise the King of
Holland to study, above all things, the history of
this kingdom during the 'reign of Queen Eliza-
beth : it will supply him with a mine of know-
ledge. We shall conclude these remarks with
the celebrated anecdote, which-evinces at gnu
her deep discretion and the winning wit of her
conversation, before the wiles of her adversaries,
and the influence of female passions, bad made
her jealous and severe. On coming to the
throne, she ordered all that were imprisoned on
account of religion to be set at liberty : upon
which one that used to talk pleasantly told her,
'44 The four Evangelists continued still prisoners,-

" and that the people longed much to see them set
" at liberty !" She answered, she " would talk
" with themselves, and know their own mind."
,Happy change, when one Could talk with the
Evangelists, and know their mind

.[MORNING POST.]
We received last night, by Express, French
Papers to the '26th instant, and the Etoile of
Wednesday. The latter contains advices from
Trieste to the 14th, which confirm the previous
accounts of the Turks having at length raised the
siege of Mi-,solonghi. After the heavy losses
which they had experienced in their repeated but
vain efforts to carry the place by storm at the
commencement of August, Redschid Pacha had
collected reinforcements from all quarters, and
left the provinces behind him almost entirely un-
guarded. This was a desperate measure, which,
unless he should succeed in the final attack which

he meditated, would expose him to the dangerof
being entirely cut off, surrounded, and destroyed.
In this great and last attack, which took place
on the 21st of September, his numb(;rs proved
unavailing, and he was beaten back with such
slaughter, that he gave up the point at once, and
retreated hastily no one knew whither, but pro-
bably towards Thessaly, in the hope of recross-
ing the passes of the Thermopylw before they had
been occupied by the Greeks, and of re-entering
that Province from whence his line of communica-

Lion with Constantinople would -be uninterrupted.'
In consequence of his flight, the heroic garrison
of Missolonghi has taken possession of some of
the works which he had left behind, and 3,000
Roumeliots have marched from the environs of
Saloria through the Isthmus of Corinth into the
Morea to assist in driving the Egyptian invaders
out of its bosom. Meanwhile Ibrahim is closely
pressed in the vicinity of Nisi by the Greek
troops, whilst in Candia Ihe Turks are entirely
confined to thefortresses, the insurrection having
extended itself through the Whole island., The
intelligence trom Spain does not. come down lower
than the 14th inst. The influence of the Council
of Castile had succeeded, as it had been appre-
hended, in preventing the publication of the
long promised Decree of complete amnesty, and
the abolition of purifications. But orders had
been transmitted to the Inspectors .of the

different arms, to employ in the army with-
out any previous purification all officers whom
they might think worthy of it, up and inclusively
to the rank of Captain. The advises from Paris
itself state, that two companies had come forward
to bid for the Haytian Loan : that of Messrs.
Andre and Cottier, Jacques, Lefebvre, Mallet,
Brothers, and Pillet Will, -whose list, having
been filled up, had been closed for some days—
and that of Messrs. Delessert and Co. and Casimir

Perrier, which have been obliged to reduce by
more than one third the subscription which it
had received. A third company is also mentioned
—that of Messrs. Jacques, Lafitte, Ardoin, Hub-
bard, Rothschild and Brothers, Pasavey and Co.,
Blanc, Collin and Co., Jonas, Haggermann, and
Messrs. the Receivers-General, which not having
approved of the mode adopted of the secret ten-
ders, while it designed nevertheless the greatest
publicity, is said to have accepted the proposal to
insure the minimum of the loan on any moderate

terms, and offered to concur with the sale, if
made by public auction. There was every reason
to believe that the Loan of Hayti would be made
on better terms than any of those of the Repub-
lics in the New World.

[NEW TIMES.]
We elsewhere give extracts from the French
Papers of the 25th instant, which have reached
us, together with -the Etoile of the 26th. The
Three per Cents. appear to be again receding
from the point of 72, which they lately touched.
The remarks of the Journal des DAuts on the
present influence of England on the destinies of
the American world, are not very correct, nor
grounded on very deeply considered princi-
ple, but are nevertheless flattering enough to
us to make us extract them. "In those na-
tions, as yet virgin (the American nations) the
most perfect civilisation of Europe lends its
assistance to a powerful and energetic nation.
The machines of England will work the mines
of America, discovered, as we may say, for a se-
cond time. Steam-boats travel up rivers destined
to be the means of easy communication, a fter hav-
ing been invincible obstacles. The banks of these
rivers will in a short time be covered with towns
and villages, as we have seen in our own days
the New States of America rise out of the deserts
of Kentukey.=[lt is so; the French Editor shews
his knowledge of the orthography and geography
of America.] Through forests deemed impe-
netrable, their enchanted chariots shall pass over
railways, as on the roads of Britain, travelling
without horses, and transporting at once, with an
extraordinary rapidity, five or six hundred travel-
lers," &c. &c. There is a good deal more praise
of the same kind, which, of course, we willingly
accept. It is, at all events, putting mere politics
out of the question, agreeable to find that Eng-
land is considered, in all parts of the world, as
the most prominent agent in its improvement : in
America in its physical—in Europe in its moral
condition.

[BRITISH PRESS.]
The Paris Papers of Tuesday are filled chiefly
with political dissertations. The tone of the
Royalist opposition has latterly been peculiarly
violent against M. De Villele. They accuse him
of following a course which leads directly and
inevitably to the overthrow of monarchy, not
only in France but throughout the world. A
whole continent of republics exists across the
Atlantic; and, if we may believe the Journal des
De'ba(s, nothing can save the monarchical insti-
tutions of Europe but the immediate recall of M.
De Chateaubriand and his friend s to power. The
phantoms raised by the Noble Viscount's elo-
quence will not, however, we apprehend, im-
press the French Court with that sense of impend-
ing danger which he professes to feel himself. Sup-
posing that there is as much to fear as his utmost
exaggeration affirms, we doubt that his' would be
precisely the counsel to select in order to avert
the dreadful evil. M. de Villele seems to have
adopted a cautious and temperate system of po•

Hey; foreign and domestic, and he has unques."
tionably the merit of adhering to it firmly, in
spite of the clamour of the- extreme parties op-
pined to him. By a letter in the Aristarquc, it
would appear that some improvement is contem-
plated by the French Government in the civil
condition of , the people of colour in the French
islands hi the West Indies. The squadron with
which M. de Mackau went on his mission to
Hayti touched at Martinique, and from the
behaviour of the officers towards the people
of colour, it is inferred that some great
change is intended in their favour. This
may be a groundless conjecture, but the late
arrangement with Hayti renders it by no means
improbable. The new Haytian loan, accord-
ing to appearances, will be contracted for on
very good terms : we mast wait, however, till we
see the biddings. The correspondence from
Madrid in the Efoile talks, confidently of the
speedy appearance of the amnesty. Some nego-
ciations ate also reported to be pending between
the Mexitan and Spanish Governments. We can
give no credit to these statements, for the reasons
we mentioned yesterday. The news from Greece
is favourable to the patriots. The Turks have
been again repulsed in an attack on Alissolonghi,
and the insurgents of Candia have gained com-
plete possession of the Island, excepting the for-
tresses to which the iNiahometails are confined.

[THE PUBLIC LEDGER.]
By the capture of Prome, of which the official
details have reached the India House, comfort..
able quarters would be secured to our troops in
the heart of the Burman Empire, during the
rainy season. This capture is a new and signal
proof of the excellent character of our Indian
army ; for it had to overcome difficulties that
were all but insurmountable, and to grope its
way, if we may use the expression., through a
country, almost impervious in some places, and
of which it had not the slightest knowledge,
except such as had been derived from the
most 'vague information. Had it not with its
characteristic enthusiasm, triumphed over those
obstacles, it would have had no other alternative,
we understand, but to measure back its steps ; as
the territory which it had recently traversed,
afforded not the requisite conveniences for so con-
siderable a force. From its present advantageous
position, the army will be able to open the next
campaign with great eclat, and indeed with a
moral certainty of dictating peace to the enemy
in his capital, if he be imprudent enough to let.
the intervening period pass, without making con-
cessions corresponding with his humbled situa-
tion. The sacrifices that will be required of him,
will be doubtless regulated, in the first place, by
the consideration that he is the aggressor in this
war, and in the nett by that principle in our
Indian policy, which has been hitherto attended
with the happiest results, and which sternly pre-
cludes any paciftvation, that does not contain
triumphant proofs of our superiority. This con-
test promises, both in its details and final results,
to be the exact counterpart. of all our former
struggles, for the last sixty years, in- that part of
the world. Its commencement had no lea.
tune of affinity with that colossal Power,
which, by unparalleled exertions, we have
established in the centre of Asia ; but it was
sluggish and feeble, whilst the Public, as usual,
murmured, from seeing that its first opera-
tions bore no resemblance to those splendid
proofs of courage, enterprize, and activity,
which appear almost in every page of our In-
dian history. But the moment a sufficient force
was collected from the different points of that
vast empire, the scene changed as if by magic,
and public feeling immediately took its hue from
the accounts of rapid movements and brilliant
successes, which followed one another in quick
succession. The trophies, erected in the course
of the campaign, .which has just closed, will
stand a comparison with the most glorious monu-
ments which British valour and skill have raised
in India ; and this contest already promises to
be as honourable to our arms, and as favourable
to the permanence of our power, as any that has
preceded it.
