BRUSSELS.

We have received, from Brussels, the following.
answer of Louis Philip, King of France, to Leopold,
King of Belgium, on the demand of assistance by
the latter from the former, to repel the Dutch
invasion,

" PARIS, A,,g. 4.

" My dear Brother,—M. Lelion delivered to me this
morning the letter which your Majesty wrote me the day
before yesterday from Liege, and I was as much astonished
as you at this unworthy surprise of the Dutch ; but
their advantages, if they shou'd Obtain any, will not be of
long duration, for we march to your assistance with •all
the celerity of which we are capable, and they will not be
long in repenting of their temerity. Only permit me to
advise you as a friend not to compromise your brave
Belgian troops in combats which the number of their ene-
mies may ren,ler inadequate. Retreat rather before them
if you are weak, and yield them the ground in waiting for
us, for you will not have to wait a long time, and what
you shall have yielded will soon be recovered for Bel-
gium, for the King of its choice, and for its inde-
pendence and neutrality, which France will respect, and
which she will know how to maintain along with the
four other Powers which have concurred with her in
establishing it.
" It apeared to me, that in circumstances where France
grants to your Majesty the assistance whi:h you request,
it was necessary to disregard the considerations which had
prevented me from receiving immediately your Minister
Plenipotentiary; but I have sent to inquire fur him, to
give him immediately his public audience, and thus to
testify to you and to all the Belgic nation my personal
friendship, and the benevolonce of France, at the time
when this mad enterprise has occurred to interrupt the
peace and ❑eutrality which we had guaranteed.
" It is Marshal Gerard who is to command the army
which I send to the assistance of Belgium. I could not
intrust the command to better hands. My two eldest
sons will accompany him, and fight for Belgium at
the head of their regiments. I rejoice that they make
their first trial of arms in so fine a cause, and that he, fur
whom I refused the crown which you wear, should be in
the number of its defender s.

" I hope that England is going to send a squadron to
the Scheldt, and that this co-operation will demonstrate
that we are all agreed, that we assist you i❑ concert,
and that this salutary union will establish and confirm
the general peace so madly disturbed by the King of
Holland.

" The Queen and my sister charge me with expre,sing
their friendship to you, and I renew with all my heart
the assurance of mine, which is very lively and very

sincere.

" I am your Majesty's Good Brother."

(From the Quebec Paper.)

The Quebec Paper of the 25th contains a very long
copy of a dispatch from Viscount Goderich, in reference
to the petition of the House of Assembly, touching certain
matters of complaint addressed to the King. To this
communication the House of Assembly will not fail to
treat the paternal feelings of his Majesty towards his faith-
ful Canadian subjects with all their reasonable desires.
(From the Montreal Paper.)

SEVERE STORM AT QUEBEC. ••••\Ve were visited yester-
day by a strong gale of wind from the eastward, which
blew with great severity in the evening. The violence
of the wind would not hive done much damage
if the full tides had not also occurred, the waters of the
St. Lawrence rose to a greater height than they have been
known to do for many years ; by far the largest portion of
the lower part of the buildings at the north-east end of
the lower town, and the suburbs of St. Roche, were several
feet under water ; we suppose that the damage done can
scarcely be below from 60 to 70,0001.

(From the Singapore Papers.)
We are sorry to learn that Commodore Sir John Hayes,
who left Bombay with Lady Hayes, in the Coote, for New
South Wales, died at the Cocos, where he was interred,
the Coote proceeded to Batavia with Lady Hayes, where
she obtained a passage for Calcutta.
COMMERCIAL REMARKS.—Gurralis, about 160 bales
have been landed, a great part of which has been disposed
off by the Jewish traders, at 19 discount for payment in
gold dust, previous to this importation the price was
23 discount.

Orium.—Five chests only have arrived, for Jewish
houses. The price in Calcutta was 1,800 sive& rupees per
chest. r►

PIECE Goons.-The market for British manufactures
has been unusually brisk of late—three-fourths of the im-
portations having been disposed of already.
HAVANNA.II, OCT. 18.—As soon as the progress of the
cholera in Europe had been ascertained beyond a doubt, it
became Reces.ary to take measures for preventing the in-
troduction to this place of that horrible scourge: the Junta
of Health, having taken it into consideration, ordered,
among other provisions, that all ships coming from the
north of Europe should be inspected previous to their ad-
mission here.

They write from Frankfurt, of the 11th inst., "We
this moment learn that fresh troubles have broken out at
Hanau, caused by a Prussian functionary ordering the
treaty of the Custom-house duties to be put into execu-
tion, and the people of Hanau demand its abolition."
Austria and Prussia have notified to the Grand Duke
of Baden that if he is not capable of putting down the
revolutionary movements they will be obliged to send
troops into his territory.
Letters from Lyons of the 14th October state that the
9th regiment has left ; business was still in a great state
of stagnation, and the lower classes of people were suffering
greatly for want of employ, and amongst the measures
taken to relieve them the Mayor had given notice that he
was authorised to receive voluntary enrolments for the
army, or they might enlist in the new corps forming for
Africa.

liness, which the observant reader will not fail to
recognise as natural vulgarity. Throughout, the
writer attempts to imitate COBBETT, and truly
the imitation is perfect, with the exception that it
lacks the sense, nerve, sarcasm, acuteness, and gene •
ral intelligence of the original. The object of this
delectable composition is to prove that tithes are
the greatest blessings that the farmer possesses ; that
without them he would be worse than a mendicant;
that to them he is indebted for all the comforts
and luxuries he enjoys ; and that he is ungrate-
ful, most ungrateful, if he presume for an instant
to question the propriety of paying them to the
fullest amount. The writer comes to this start-

ling conclusion by that happy process of logic,
peculiar to Irish metaphysicians, which gives de-
ductions the precedence of premises. He comes
to his inference in the first page, and sets out
with the argument from which it is drawn, in the
last. Truly eight shillings per hundred for
such a curiosity as this is dirt cheap !
Imagine a man seriously arguing the propriety
of not abolishing tithes, from the fact, that if
they were not paid to the parson, they must be
to the landlord ! Why, upon this principle, not
a tax of any sort can be reduced or abolished ;
there can be nothing advantageous or practicable
but transfer. We have not space to enter further
into an exposure of this sample of ostentatious
vulgarity ; but if enquiry, from motives of a na-
tural curiosity, be made respecting the author,
we shall have not the slightest hesitation in giving
his address at Bedlam. We feel morally con-
vinced he will be found an inmate of that esta-
blishment.

The following are extracts from German,
Dutch, and Prussian Papers, received this day :

VIENNA, DEC. 7.—Great apprehensions are still enter-
tained here on account of the disturbances at Lyons, and
the arrival of a courier is impatiently expected.
Great losses have taken place on our Stock Exchange,
and no haste is now made to conclude the loan. Tenders
at 821 to 83 have been made to our Government, but ie.
fused by it, and it is understood that it will not contract
the loan below 86.

All the superior officers who belonged to the corps of
Generals Dwernicki and Romarino have, with few excep-
tions, solicited the intervention of our Government to ob-
tain from the Emperor of Russia permission for them to
return to Poland. This wish has been attended to by our
Government, and application has been made at St. Peters-
burgh ; it now remains to be seen whether the Emperor
will be inclined to listen to it.

The accounts from Central Italy are by no means satis-
factory, and unless new measures of security are adopted
by the Papal Government, it is to be feared that fresh
troubles will break out in the Legations. The Duke of
Lucca has arrived from Prague, and the Austrian Minister,
President of the German Diet, from Frankfort.

Other letters from Vienna of the 7th report that the loan
above mentioned is now concluded ; that it is for forty
millions of florins at five per cent. contracted for at 84.

TUE FUNDS.

Consols, which left off yesterday at 831 84 for the ac-
count, opened at 83i 4, and at present the market appears
heavy; this is attributed to some unfavourable informa-
tion by the Dutch mail, which has not yet transpired.
In the Foreign Market little doing.
.HALF-PAST ONE.

The letters and papers of the 17th instant have been
delivered by the Dutch mail ; the papers are void of inte-
resi. The Dutch Funds come rather higher, 4.0il

Letters received from Bordeaux this morning state that
there was a iiiolent gale on the French coast, and several
pieces of wrecks were driven ott shore off L'Orient, and
from the description of which it was conjectured they be-
longed to some of the English vessels employed in Don
Pedro's expedition.
The private letters from Paris this morning are not of
a favourable nature in regard to polities, and it was
the opinion that the French Ministry would not last long,
as a great difference existed amongst them.
Consols have continued the whole of the morning at
831, with little or nothing doing.
In the Foreign Market Don Pedro's loan begins to
quiver ; it is at par.

deavoured to illustrate his arguments by having recourse to
English history, which he mutilated, and, mis-stated so
grossly, that a school-boy would have been astonished, had
he heard the Ex-Secretary, at his total deficiency in histo-
rical information. If Mr. CROKER had Lead the works of

BISHOPSGATE WARD.

Yesterday a most numerous and respectable meeting of the
inhabitants of this ward took place, Alderman COPELAND in the
Chair.

Mr. PEACOCK, in moving the resolutions, gave a very ani
mated description of the present melancholy condition of the
Lords, and most particularly of the Bishops. He, however,
thought it necessary to exclude one Right Reverend Prelate
from the list of those who ought to feel unhappy. He meant the
Lord Bishop of London.
Mr: STEVENS lo Aced upon the conduct of the Bishop of
London in a different light. The Right Reverend Prelate had
hesitated for along time, and no doubt had been waiting for a
convenient opportunity of trimming, in the most advantageous
manner for himself.—(Cheers.) He really thought that the
Lord Bishop of London might as well have gone in and voted
with the rest of his brethren.—(Hear, hear.) His Lordship was
understood to have had a proxy in his pocket in favour of the
Bill at the time he absented himself from the House : so that
the merit of not having voted against the Bill could not be very
great, the counterpoise being in his own possession.—(Hear.)
Mr. WHITE objected to what he called an attack upon the
Established Church. . .

Mr. STEVENS considered that the Bishops had shown them.
selves the enemies of all the people.--(Cheers.)
The resolutions were carried unanimously, and amidst the
loudest acclamations; and a deputation of 24 members of the
ward was appointed to wait on Lord Althorp, to request that he
would present the address to the King.

PARISH OF ST. MARYLEBONE.

The inhabitants if this highly-respectable parish walked six
abreast, wearing blue ribbons and laurel, and upon a fair calcula-
tion amounted to between 700 and 800 persons, and upon a white
flag, edged with pint, was the following inscription :--" The
King, the Commons, the People's rights." Other placards and
banners were also displayed, such as " Equal rights,' " Union is
strength," scc. Next followed

' The inhabitants of this parish, who mustered in great numbers,
were headed by the two Churchwardens, carrying the address,
preceded by the two beadles, and on either side caps of liberty,
surmounted by the crown, were carried by two porters.
Upon a large placard was inscribed thei following :—" Take
away the wicked from before the King;" and upon a black flag
was displayed—. triglishmen, support your patriotic King and
his Ministers." The.next_procession that came was that of

PARISH OF ST. BRIDE.

AT a PUBLIC VESTRY, held in the
Vestry-Room of this Parish, on Tuesday, the 11th
day of October, 1831, pursuant to a Requisition, nume-
rously signed, presented to the Churchwarden,
Mr. Churchwarden SANGSTER in the Chair;
It was resolved unanimously—
. . _

That the frank, steady, and undeviating manner in 'which his
Majesty has given his confidence toahis present Ministers, in sup.
port of their wise and efficient Bill, to improve the Representation
of the People in the House of Commons, has excited in us the
strongest feelings of loyalty, confidence, and affection.

Th'it the triumphant manner in whiCh that Bill had been car-
ried through the House of Commons, by the persevering firmness
of a large majority of the Members, led us to hope that so wise
and salutary a measure would speedily have become the law of the
land. _ _

—That the rejection of this great remedy for the national griev-
ances by the House of Lords has filled us with alarm for its pro-
bable consequences, and raised feelings in our breasts to which
we are unwilling to give utterance.
That in this fearful aspect of public affairs, we ardently be-
seech his Majesty to continue to his faithful and devoted Minis-
ters that confidence and support with which he has hitherto
honoured them; and that he will, with the least possible delay,
take such constitutional measures as in his wisdom he may-judge
necessary to ensure the passing of a similar Bill to that which has
been rejected by the House of Lords.
That an Address to the King, founded upon the foregoing
Resolutions, be adopted; that it be signed by the Churchwardens,
Sidesman, and Overseers' on behalf of this Vestry ; and that they
do place the same in the hands of Earl Grey, to be by him pre.
sented to his Majesty at his Levee to-morrow.
That the thanks of this Vestry are justly due, and are hereby
given, to the Churchwardens, Messrs. Sangster and Devey, for
the promptitude with which they have acceded to the wish of the
parishioners in convening this meeting, and especially to Mr.
Churchwarden Sangster, for the ability and impartiality with
which he has presided over the same, as well as for his gentle-
manly conduct in the Chair.

UNITED PAROCHIAL PROCESSIONS.

Shortly after eleven o'clock this morning, la* detach-
ments of the police were stationed in those different
parts of the metropolis at which it was expected the
different bodies of the people were to meet before pro-
ceeding en masse to present their loyal addresses to a
patriotic King. Every shop in Regent-street, Bond-street, Pall-
mall, and indeed, generally throughout the West end of the
town, was closed; business seemed the while totally suspended;
and the populace were to be seen in every quarter congregated
in separate groups, waiting in anxious expectancy to witness
the imposing spectacle. At half-past twelve o'clock the inha-
bitants of Islington, Marylebone, St. Pancras, St. Luke's, and
Middlesex, met at Portland-place, and were shortly afterwards
joined by St. James's parish, Westminster.
The united procession began, to move at a quarter to one. And,
although, in passing the residence in Langharn.place' of the
Right Rev. the Bishop of Bath and Wells, every mark ofexecra-
tion was loudly expressed; although in Pall-mall, his Grace the
Duke of Buckingham was greeted with the loud funerealyells and
groans of unequivocal indignation; yet through the whole line
the procession was conducted with regularity and good order
quite unexampled, refuting at once the audacious calumnies
of the boroughmongers, and shewing that a people so respectable,
peaceable, united, and firm, were entitled to, and would have,
the constitutional privileges of Englishmen and freemen.
ARRIVAL OF THEIR MAJESTIES.
At precisely twenty minutes before two o'clock the King and
Queen arrived at St. James's Palace, escorted by an avant guard
composed of the 9th Lancers, and followed by a strong party of
the same regiment. The immense multitude that had collected
in the Park, in the immediate vicinity of the Palace, threw up thei r
hats as the Royal procession approached, and the most deafening
cheers rent the air. The King appeared in deep contemplation, but
her Majesty smiled on the people with great affability. Immedi-
ately after the Royal carriage had entered the Palace gates, they
were closed, and a strong military guard, aided by a body of the
police, were stationed there.
Portland-place was fixed by the committees of the various
parishes last night, as the spot for assembling, and at eleven
o'clock, the cavalcade moved off towards the Palace in the follow-
ing succession :

By T. H. CORNISH.

44 We have much pleasure in recommending this beau-
tiful little volume to the attention of our readers. Mr.
Cornish is a poet of no mean order, and what is better, he
is a true, ardent, and sincere friend to his country, and a
warm lidvocate of liberty ; at the same time that he is un- •
shackled by the trammels of party.".--Stainford Bee.
There are 122 melodies, most of them admirably
adapted for music, and in troublous times many of them
the place of the soul-stirring national songs of
which inspired even the peasant with the desire
Dii !dghitnt,ak e
of rivalling a Nelson or a 'Wellington. Should such times
again occur (and they seem not far from us), many of these
melodies, we hope, will be published in a popular form,
when they certainly will also become national favourites."

THE FUNDS.
Up to the present hour there is a dead calm in the city. The
destruction of Nottingham Castle by fire causes some apprehen-
sion. It is singular that the information was only known this
morning by some persons. It is doubted. The various proces-
sions going up with petitions to his Majesty draw the attention
of a number of persons from the city. The singular notice given
to the Members of the Privy Chamber rather puzzles the public;
they do not know what it means.
Consols are not so good as yesterday, when they left off at
80% ji for the account; they opened at 80% % for the account,
went down to 80% 4, and at present are 80%, with little doing.

The private letters received yesterday from Hamburg state
that. Prussia is snaking great demonstrations for war, particu-
larly drawing her troops about Magdeburg. The same letters
add that the Polish army which entered the Austrian territory
was immediately disarmed, and the cannon and materials de.
livered over to the Russians.
The Royal Exchange is very thinly attended, great numbers of
persons have proceeded westward to witness the processions pro-
ceeding to St. James's Palace. The Dutch steamer has not as
yet arrived, it will not bring any later news than we receivedyes.

HAMMERSMITH.

Last night a numerous and highly respectable meeting of the
inhabitants of this hamlet, was held in the large room of Lati-
mer's Charity School, the Vicar and Curate having refused the
use of the Vestry-room in the Church, for the purpose of passing
resolutions, and petitioning his Majesty in favour of a Reform
in Parliament
