BRUSSILS, SEPT. is a.ad that new Belgian
Commissioners will be sent to L9ndon as auxiliaries to
those already there.

The Journal of Luxemburg affirms that there is a 41st
protocol, the object of which is

1. To regulate the departure of the French troops.
2. To declare that the Grand Duchy is a German prin-
cipality, and excluded from all combinalions relative to
Belgium; that measures concerning the armistice do not
regard it, and that King William and the Germain Confe-
deration have a right to occupy it.
We are assured that all the French troops will have left
Belgium by the 20th inst.

The Messager de Gaud says, under the head of Brus-
sels, September lb, an express arrived this afternoon at the
Hague says, that the King has just announcer to the Cham-
bers that be is going to resume hostilities very shortly.

His MAJESTY on Wednesday next will hold
an Investiture of the Witt Honourable Military Order of
the Bath, at St. James's, when the Knights Grand

WILLIAM CAVENDISH, Esq. who has ac-
cepted the Chiltern Hundreds, is to be put in nomination
for Derbyshire, in the place of Lord GEoitcE CAvilmisn,
now Earl of BURLINGTON. The election is fixed for
Thursday next.

There is no avowed Tory candidate yet for
Dorsetshire, but Lord AstmE\• is talked of; it win, we
suspect, however, come to nothing. We hive seen some
private letttrs from riolton and Manchester, which give a
most serious account of the consequences that may be ap—
prehended in these populous districts should the Peers re-
ject the Bill.

SIR EDWARD CODRINGTON'S SQUADRON.
—lt is rumoured, upon what authority we cannotlearn, that
this squadron is to call at Cove for the purpose of embark-
ing some 5,000 or 6,000 of the military at present serving
in Ireland, but for what service or destination has not been
stated. Doubtless the fleet has left Englar4 and it is also
a fact that at this moment there is a large military force,
consisting of the greater portion of the troops of the sur-
rounding garilauns for many miles, concentrated at Fermoy.
All this .s very true ; but until we shall be otherwise and
heltier informed upon the matter than we profess ourselves
now to be, we shall take it for granted that the real object
of the maritime and land movements is, the one to extrcise
the ships, the other the troops. It is stared th,t his Ma-
jesty's ship Slug was to leave Portsmouth on Wednesday
last fps ()ore.— Cork Reporter.
