EXPRESS FROM BRUSSELS.

(From the Times)

LOUVAIN, Aug. 12.
The Belgian army, which consists of about 10,000 men
of regular troo,s, and the Civic Guard of nearlt double that
number, was this day reviewed by the King. The appear-
ance of the rtgular troops indicated strength and health,
but among them there were but few whose age could show
that they had seen former campaigns. The Civic Guard
extended along the Boulevards of this city for a consider-
able distance, and they seemed individually brave, but in a
state in which great want of discipline was exhibited.
Yet even in this body it was easy to remai k some who came
from Brus,els, fr.un a certain haughty air, and, as some
observers noticed, of impudent braggadocios, who sought
to insult the strangers that walk, ,d in front of the line.
Great complaints have been made in some of the news-
papers, and even by persons belonging to the Civic Guard
of a want of food. Yet I saw abundance of bread and
!neat distributed among the regular corps before they left
the town. It has been asserted that the Commissariat, as
well as other branches of the army, have been shatne'ully
neglected ; but within a few days endeavours have been
made by the King to remedy those defects, but the haste in
which they were arranged has necessarily produced great
confusion, even in the midst of plenty.
As yet the Belgian army, like their nitionality, is in a
state of infancy. But little time is left for maturity, —for
the tri is at hand. The Dutch are stationed at Tide-
mont, having a formidable and well-disciplined cavalry, and
an artillery by far superior to those of the Belgians. Leo-
pold, however, by his great attention and activity, has
done wonders with the Belgians ; but still even the most
sanguine express their hopes that the French army which
Leopold, from a sense that the deficiency of his troops,
and, in particular, from a feeling of the inexperience of
his officer., bad in some measure demanded from France
in order to guarantee the independence of Belgium, may
soon arrive.

Among the evils which surround the King may be
accounted the first, and, in fact, the chief, the igno-
rance of the Staff. Unacquainted, as yet, with the re-
lative merits of each officer, _Leopold, after a reign of
three weeks, has not been able to make a selection. The
officers of the Staff, therefore, in their official reports,
think that they may, with impunity, deceive their su-
periors, however dear those deceptions may hereafter cost
them. Hence it was, that on Leopold's arrival, a plan of
the army was laid before him, in which its amount was
shown on paper, most satisfactorily, to be sixty-four thou-
sand effective men ; and now, it is thought, that it does
not amount to more than a third of that number.

The routing of the Army of the Meuse, which the Staff
and the newspapers endeavour, but on rather futile grounds,
to prove has not been complete, has lowered the spirit of
many of the sanguine Belgians, who have so loudly
clamoured for war. Eve. y excuse is offered, for the pur-
pose of satisfying the soldiers ; and even Gentral Daine
has been stated to be dismissed. The King, too, who has,
as far as in his power, selected men in whom he can rely
has sent, by way of Namur, the Minister of the Interior,
Charles de Brouckere, whom he considers as one of the
most active, althoogb, as being still a young, a rather in-
experienced military man, to Liege, in order to lay before
loin a correct report of the moral and military state of the
army of that district.
The King, who is most active, was on horseback this
morning at an early hour, in order to examine the different
videttes, &c. which vvere stationed yesterday evening in the
neighbourhood of this city. By his order entrenchments
were formed near the gate hearing to Tirlemont, as an at-
tack by the Dutch was expected. Several cannon were
placed so as to defend that entrance; and on a hill about
two miles from the gate a party of observation is stationed.
The number of spits, who detail all that passes to the
Dutch, is said to be very great; and yet the officers of the
Belgian army, even in their own country, are ignorant
whether the Dutch still remain in Tirlemont. A Dutch

spy was this day taken, and, after due examination, shot.
I saw a part of the army pa,,s through the Tirlemont
gate at noon ; there were two regiments and a battalion of
infantry, who sang the Barliaconne and the Parisienne, as
they went out. The remainder of the army bivouacked,
as I understand, last night on the side of the road leading
to Tirlemont and Diest. There are but two regiments of
cavery.
Leopold, although fully convinced of the superior per-
sonal bravely of the individuals of his army, is still appre-
hensive of the results of leading them to a battle ; hut he
this day said, that " as King of Belgium, and having an
army of Belgians, it was hi■ duty to give them the oppor-
tunity for which all of them longed, to come to trial with
the soldiers who invaded their country. It would be unfair
and unjust to them that they should not tight before the
French came forward. As their King, he would do so at
all risks, for with them, if ❑ecessary, he was prepared to
die." Those are the sentiments which have induced
Leopold to lead out his army, undisciplined and inex-
perienced, to meet the Dutch. This seems proper : Louvain
cannot be sacrificed to the enemy, and they may attempt
to take it.

The roads, and especially those from Brussels, are covered
with thousands of Civic Guards from all quarters, even
from the province of Hainault and the borders of France,
thronging to join in the expulsion of the invaders from
their soil. They appear in excellent spit its.
A skit-wish took place this evening, and the Minister of
War, M. d'llane, was slightly wounded in the thigh by a
musket ball, a few paces in advance of the King, while
examining the outposts.
It is affirmed this evening that the Dutch have sent a
strong party of cavalry and infantry across from Tirlernont
to Havre, and that it is their intention to take possession
of Tervueren, where the Prince of Orange formerly had a
country seat, and which is about six miles from Brussels.

BRUSSELS, Friday Morning.

The greatest agitation, and even terror, prevailed last
night in this city, since the approach of the Dutch to
Wayre. A council was holden of some of the most influ-
ential men, in which it was debated whether the tocsin
should be sounded ; but this council was overrulei. How-
ever, alarm has been spread all over the city, and many
families who have reason to fear the revenge of the Dutch
leaders, have been all night preparing for removal to some
more secure place. At four o'clock the generale was
beaten, and all the troops and Civic Guard were as.!embled
in order to make preparations for defence. Barrica.ks
were formed near the Louvain gate, and several cannons
were placed in the streets near the Namur entrance. A
battalion of gendarmes has patrolled the streets all the morn-
ing; their principal station is the Place Royal. The in-
habitants, with few exceptions, seem frightened ; those ex-
ceptions are the Orangeists, and the mob ass already taken

having his clothes torn, received 17 knife wounds, from
the effects of which he is said to have since died in the
hospital. The women also revenged themselves on one of
their own sex, who was accused of partiality for the Orange
• family, by maltreating her with the utmost violence in the
crowd near the Namur gate.
A thousand conflicting rumours are current, and the
public mind is agitated in the most fearful degree. To
add to the agitation a heavy cannonade has been heard
from an early hour in the direction of Louvain, and it is
thought that this morning there has been a battle between
the Dutch and the Belgians. We have, however, just
learned that despatches from the British Ambassador at

the Hague have just reached Sir R. Adair, which state
that the Dutch King conKenns to come to term., and to

entvr into negociations, provided his army be allowed to
retire from Beleiutn without molestation. It is thought
that the old proverb of " a golden bridge for a flying
enemy," will bt.. followed. Sir R. Adair and Lord W.
Russell have set out to convey the intelligence to the con-
flicting parties._

General Billiard has also set out to hold a similar com-
munication. The best wishes of all follow the negociators,
fur the Belgians are most dreadfully alarmed. It is re-
ported that the French and English Governments have, by
their Ministers at the Hague, threatened, in addition to
having sent a Prench army into this country, to send a
fleet to blockade all the ports of Holland, unless the Dutch
troops be instantly withdrawn. General Billiard is said
to be the bearer of an order from King William to that
effect ; yet the Belgians, from their experience of William,
say that they ate afraid even this order is but a TUSC de
guerre to give time to to them more mischief.
Every one inquires where are the French troops who
are coming to their assistance? Guesses and calculations
are made every minute; there was a b idy of them h„
night at Halle, within four leagues distance, and they will
soon be here. It was intended not to have them intro-
duced into this town, but to calm the agitation of the
inhabitants their coining will be iheful.

A detachment of the Dutch troops, it seems, this morn-
ing has appeared between Leefdael and Berthem, about a
league from Louvain. The country people have fled, and
spread alarm in Brussels.
The late Regent, 211. Surlet de Chokier, has arrived
safe in Liege: the Dutch are stated to have possession of
his country. house.

BRUSSELS, Friday Evening, Six o'clock.
Being desirous, if possible, to grt to Louvain, in order
to learn the truth respecting the state of that city, and of
the Dutch and Belgian armies, I set out, in company with
tP/0 others, to proceed through Tervuercn to Louvain. Ou

the road between this city and the latter place, I met sevc-
ral battalions of the Civic Guard returning back to the
city. The men seemed much alarmed, and the country
people were all o❑ the road and eagerly inquiring for news.
On arrival in Tervueren, we saw before the hotel a car-
riage, in which was seated General Belliard, who, on see-
ing we were foreieriera, sent to speak to us, and having
learned that we wished to make our way to Louvain, told
us that we should be arrested by the Dutch trrops, who
had intercepted the road leading to that city. Having re
ceived our thanks fir this act of kindness, the General,
who, it appeared, had stopped for five minutes to take
refreshment, left the town rapidly. It appeared that Le
had left Brussels at an early hour, and was proceeding to
communicate the intel'igence from the Hague to the Dutch
commander*, when his carriage was stopped, and he him-
self declared a prisoner. "To whine corps do you be-
long?"—" To the Duke de Saxe Weimar's."—" rue
to him. I am General Belliard, the French Ambassador."
And he was conducted to the Chief. Thei: conversation
was of some duration, and they patted, as an eye-witness
stated, evidently in rage with each other.
In the village of Tervueren all was (=fusion emang the
battalion of Civic Guard stationed there ; many of the nice
were drinking beer, the favourite beverage of the Bel-
gians, in order to keep their courage to the sticking place.
The Burgomaster had taken down the Belgian flag from
the church spire, but a party of the boldest of the Civic
Guard went to his house and compelled him to produce
it, and they soon in triumph reinstated it on the side of
the steeple.
In the mean time a curious exhibition was to he seen ;
one part of the Civic Guard contending that it was useless
to remain in that village, while they had but a small stock
of ammunition, and might be cut to pieces by the Dutch
cavalry, whose appearance among them they anticipated
every moment ; another maintained that it was not pro.
per to fly before they saw the enemy, pal ticultirly as the
woods of near a league in extent, lay between them
and Brussels, and would afford a refuge in case of an
attack. However, I afterwards saw most of them re-
treat to this town. Our party afterwards proceeded on the
read to Wimp, but we could learn nothing respecting the
Belgian, Dutch, or French armies, until at length a parry
of runaways appeared, and upon questioning them
we found that a battle had taken place in the morning
between the Belgians and the Dutch on the east side of
Louvain, in which the former had been routed. Like
runaways in all case!, these men endeavoured to throw the
blame on all but themselves ; but they presented a strange
sight ; some without guns or even knapsacks, hare-headed
and bare-legged, were hurrying to Brussels. Our driver
was in a pitiable state. He was rather a decent house.
holder in Brussels " I have two sons and a son-in-law
in the Civic Guard. I wish I was with my boys that
I might die with them too."
Having returned to Brussels, I found the Namur gate
was deserted by the crowd of the morning ; jay was to
be seen on all the faces of the women, for the French
troops had arrived. The Dukes of Orleans and Nemours,
and the latter in particular, were greeted with cheers;
hut many a scowl was made towards the troops by the
friends of the Dutch, who were joyful in the morning,
as well as by the Belgians, who are jealous of the French
in many respects. Nothing was known in town respect-
ing the battle, although Louvain is but eighteen mile■ Irene
this city.
Amon; the persons taken prisoners by the Dutch this
morning was Baron Stockmar, Leopold's particular friend,
who was repairing to head-quarters in Louvain. His
carriage was stopped by a party of Dutch infantry about
a mile beyond Corteutherg, and he was obliged to alight
and to enter a cottage on the roadside, where he was
detained from about half-past twelve o'clock to near three,
when the Dutch troops having retired, he was left at liberty
to pursue his route back to the city.
General Belliard, who was stopped by the saute corps,
and on whose military knowledge some reliance may he
pl iced, has declared them to amount to about 3,000 men ;
the artillery and cavalry being in the best condition, but
the infantry mere boys.
The citizens and authorities of Brussels, who this morn-
ing had altogether lost all presence of mind, and wha
thought of no other mode of defence than some barricades
and a few cannon placed at the gates, have been relieved
of all anxiety by the French Generals, who accompany the
Princes. Trirre were immediate orders issued to have
pickets of the French cavalry stationed un the nearest
heights of the raids leading to Louvain, and a squadron of
geralarmes, all old soldiers, whom the Belgians hid kept
in Brussels, was sent out as a reconnoitering party towards
Cartemberg, when during the evening they prevented va-
rious individuals from going forward to be taken by the
Dutch, who had a strong corps placed on the heights, near
to Louvain.

The Duke of Orl,ans having partaken of a dinner, at
which the Mayor of this city and General Duvivier were
pre'ent, has set out fur Nivel'es, in order to hold communi-
cation with Marshal Gerard.

Eig!l t o'clock.

I find it exceedingly difficult to obtain details respectiog
the battle of this morning, for the Belgians cannot con-
vince themselves, that they who yesterday entertained such
a contempt for the Dutch, should this day have been
beaten by them. I have, however, seen an Englishman
who was near the King ; and from him I have learned
that the battle began at day-break, on the road leading from
Louvain to Tirlemont,—that the Dutch advanced in close
columns,—and that after havinz sustained a few grape
shots, the officers, who of all the Belgians showed most
fearfulness, began to run away.
Leopold, with his usual coolness, endeavoured to place
various corps of his army in a proper position ; but the
moment he quitted one to arrange another there was con-
fusion. The fright of the infantry was so great, that even
the 9th Regiment, after having sustained a few grape-
shots, the soldiers, being deserted by their officers, threw
down their arms and fled. Some, however, of the Civic
Guard, fought like desperate men even while raked by
the Dutch f; ; but the mass, on seeing the Dutch columns
advancing amidst a heavy fire from their artillery, ran off
the field.

In the mean time Sir Robert Adair, who had left Brus-
sels at a very early hour, arrived in Louvain, accompanied
by Lord William Russell, and immediately communicated
to the King the info illation received from the Hague. A
flag of truce was sent to the Prince of Orange; and Lard
William Russell, who personally acquainted with the
Prince, they having been brother aides-de-camp in Spain
under the Duke of Wellington, wentlforward to announce the
order sent from the Dutch King for the cessation of hosti-
lities, and for the withdrawal Of the arms, without fighting,
from Belgium, in case there should be no molestation
offered to it.
• The Prince declared that no such order had officially
reached hint. Some here question this assertion, and ask
by what means had it happened that the decision of the
Dutch King could have been transmitted by the Foreign
Minister at the Hague to the French and English Minis-
ters there, and afterwa,ds by them to the British and
French Ambassadors in Brussels, without notice having
been given to the Prince of Orange, commander-in-chief
of the Dutch army ? The personal bravery of the Prince
of Orange was shown a short time before the flag of truce,
for his horse's fore legs were broken by a cannon hall at the
head of the column.

The Prince of Orange, on being told that a continuance
of hostilities was useless es the French troops were ad-
vancing, affected to doubt that fact ; upon which, L-rd
William offered to take an aide-de-camp of his Royal High.
ness to Brussels, in order that, for ocular demonstration, an
official rep,trt might be made of the fact. An aide de-camp
of Prince Frederick, named Majlr Seva, was ordered to
accompany Lord William Russell on his return.

A divi.ion of the Dutch army, under the command of
the Duke of Saxe Weimar, having yesterday penetrated to
Wavre, and succeeded in getting between Bruss,ls and
Louvain, it became necessary to give a notice of the cessa-
tion of hostilities to their General. Lord William, at-
tended by an Aide-de-camp from the Dutch army, had
great difficulty, after a long circuitous route through lanes
and fields, to find him. His reception by the Duke of
Saxe Weimar was of the most extraordinary kind ; this
Gallant General swore, and in a rage addressed the soldiers
around him in the most violent manner, as if to encourge
them to murder Lord William Russell. To Genera! Bel.
hard he bad already conducted himself in a similar manner,
and told him that he referred the affair to the Comruander-
in• Chief, the Prince of Orange. The old French Gene-
ral was not affrighted, for he told the Duke that if there
was a shot fired by him on the city of Louvain, it would
be considered as a declaration of war by the Five Powers,
and in particul it by France. Toe firing was, however,
continued by the Duke on a party of the Belgians near the
entrance of Louva;n from Brussels ; the Civic Guard from
Mons is said to have fought there rather bravely. A num-
ber of runaways, endeavouring to gain their way to Brus-
sels, are stated to have lost their lives from Saxe-Wei-
mar's guns. Considerable fighting is said to have taken
place at the entrance from Diest, where about twenty of
the Civic Guard were killed and eighty wounded.
The intimation of the order tOr the cessation of hos-
tilities must have been highly vexatious to the Dutch,
who have thereby been deprived of the advantages of
their victory.
The conduct and coolness of King Leopold is the theme
of praise for all ; but still, as a heavy firing has been heard
ever since Lord William's notice, the results of the battle
;ire not known. I have made earnest inquiries respecting

the fate of the King, and cannot oittain any infortniii.

Outside the Till, mont gate of Louvain a Partit„l
