MOTHERS AND DAUGHTERS.
A Tale of the Year 1830.

" ' Mothers and Dau7hter ' is, without even the excep-
tion of ' Maxwell,' the best novel of the season, as far as
the season has gone, and will always remain an admirable
specimen of the fashionable school. It is a faithful, exact,
and withal spirited picture of the Aristocracy of this
country—an admirable description of what is called high
life, and full of a more enlarged knowledge of human na-
ture. This is the novel which should have been called the
' Exclusives.' We recommend Mothers and Daughters'
to readers of all classes : to the politician and moralist the
work will give information—to the novel reader amuse-
ment."—Spectator.

THE LIFE OF 'TITIAN,
with Anecdotes of the Distinguished Persons of
his Time.

By JAMES NORTHCOTE, Esq. R.A.
" When the length of Titian's life, the celebrity he en-
joyed, and his constant intercourse with all who were dis-
tinguished either by rank or by talent in his time are con-
sidered, it will not appear surprising that Mr. Northeote,
in the course of his narrative, has introduced sketches of
many persons of whom every body must be desirous of
knowing something."—Literary Gazette.

COMFORT in SHAVING depends on the
proper use of a good Razor, and efficient Strop,
and Composition to put on it when it ceases to sharpen.
In addition to these, good Soap, and a Shaving-brush
that will not irritate the face, are especially necessary.
But, with all these in perfect condition, still, if not pro-
perly used, shaving will be but a trorblesome, and even
painful operation.
To those who find it so 11IECHI, No. 4, Leadenhall-
street, the fourth house from Cornhill (removed from op-.
posite the India House), offers his Razors, Strops, Paste,
and Instructions for Easy Shaving, which have, during
the last three years, relieved thousands, in all parts of the
world, from much suffering and loss of time. The prices
are moderate; v:z. Razors, 55., is., and 108. per pair;

It is requested that no gentleman will hesi-

as the loss of recommendation from such cause is of much
more consequence to him than the value of a Razor.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FRENCH PAPERS.
(Front the Moniteur of Sunday, Feb. 13.)
OFFICIAL PART.

PARIS, FEB. 12.—T0 day, at one o'clock, M. de Goro-
stiza, Minister of the United States of Mexico at London,
who is come on a mission to France, and Elbadji Meheme:l
Bectril Mal, Envoy Extraordinary of the Bey of Tripoli,
in Barbary, had the honour to be presented to the King
and the Royal Family.

[The Moniteur contains also a royal sanction to the law
passed by the Chambers, by which the ministers of the
Jewish religion are to receive from January 1, 1831, sala-
ries from the public treasury.]

PRICE 7D.

into the presence of the King, and have had several pri-
vate interviews with his Msjesty. It would be difficult,
Sir, to describe with what interest and courtesy Louis
Philippe received us, and how much the choice of his
young son, as the ruler of the Belgians has affected him.
The King of the French wished the Belgians to feel that
they had no better friend than his Majesty, and that no
one more desired to insure to them their independen,:e
and their welfare. We all could pl linly perceive at those
interviews that the King was chiefly prevented from de-
ciding by the fear of being accused of that selfish ambi-
tion which led Napoleon to establish members of his own
family upon foreign thrones; he would not wish, by
crowning his son, to bring on a war, the danger of which
all declare would' be very imminent if he accepted our
proposal.
" At the same time, Sir, I request you to bear in mind
that the audiences we have hitherto had with his Majesty
have been private ; and that until the next appointed day,
when we shall be formally received, and consequently shall
have the official reply of the Kine, we must not set the re-
fusal down as certain or definitive. We have further
learnt in the conferences with the Minister of Foreign
Affairs, that the election of the Duke of Leuchtenberg
would not have been recognised by the Powers (and the
Congress will have a confirmation of this fact by official
communications); that they would have opposed them-
selves to any attempt of the Prince of Orange forcibly to
resume in Belgium a power which has departed from him-
self and his family—an attempt which could not but ex-
pose to danger both our own country and the neighbour-
ing States. In conclusion, France pledges herself to sup-
port our interests as if they were her own ; and respecting
the question of the debt, our limits, and independence, we
may rest assured of her succour and unvarying protection.
" I expect that the formal presentation of the deputs-
tion of the Congress to the King of the French will take
place some time before the beginning of next week. May
the words which shall proceed from the throne be such as
shall meet the expectations and wishes of the Belgians,
and tend to consolidate in our country peace, concord, and
liberty. (Signed) " SURLET DE CHOKIER.
" Paris, Feb. 10, 1831."
M. Lebeau made the following proposition in the name
of the Belgian people :
" The National Congress decreed,
" Art. 1. To nominate a Lieutenant-General of the
kingdom.
" Art. 2. The Lieutenant-General shall exercise the
powers of Chief of the State, but shall take the oath of
fidelity to the Constitution previously to entering upon his
functions.

" Art. 3. His powers shall cease as soon as the King to
whom the Crown has been decreed shall have taken pos-
session of the throne.

" Art. 4. The Constitution shall be binding from the
time of the installation of the Lieutenant-General."

The proposition was supported and developed by M.
Lebeau. It is referred to the Sections, who will enter
upon it on Monday next.

REGENCY OF THE CITY OF BRUSSELS.
CARNIVAL.

" The Burgomaster and Magistrates,
" Considering the grave circumstances in which every
true Belgian waits with feelings of anxiety and impatience,
the decision upon which depends the safety of his country,
the good c itizens will be little disposed to give themselves
up to noisy pleasures.—On the other hand, it is the duty
of the Magistrates to take measures to prevent any dis-
order or excesses that evil-disposed persons may be inclined
to commit, under a mask or burlesque disguise on the oc-
casion :
" Decree—

" Art. I.—lt is expressly forbidden for any person to
appear masked, or under any disguise whatever, in the
streets or other public! places of this city.
" Art 2.—Balls will be allowed to take place; but no
one must attend either disguised or masked.
" Art. 3.—The offending parties will be arrested and
prosecuted in conformity with the laws of police and pub-
lic safety, independently of measures to be taken against
those who, having obtained permission to held balls, shall
allow marquerading or disguises.
" Art. 4.—The Commissioners and Agents of the
public safety are required to attend to the strict execution
of this decree.
" The General of the Civic Guard and the Colonel
Commandant of this city will he invited to lend their
urgent assis'ance in case of necessity.

"-""
Information of the above will.be sent to the Ainini-
strator-General of the public safety, the Governor of the
province, and the Commissioner of the Government at the
tribunal of the High Court of Judicature.

Letters from the north affirm that an insurrection had
arisen against the Russian dominion in Finland. The
Russians had been driven from the country, but were hold-
ing themselves in the fortification of Sweaburg. This in-
surrection, in a province so near St. Petersburgh, and
solely belonging to Russia since the reign of the last King
of Sweden, is of a serious aspect.
13ItUSSELS, FF:.I3. 12, TWELVE O'CLOCE.—We have just
heard that an order has been given to double all the posts
of the Civic Guard, and to reinforce the Guard of the
Congress. These measures announce, doubtlessly, that a
reply little favourable has arrived from Paris.
(From the Vrai Patriots.) .

BRUSSELS, FEB. 12.—. We think it our duty to publish
the Protocol of the 7th of February, because Belgium has
aright to know what so metetially affects its interest and
its destiny. Neither infantine sulkiness, nor the empty
verbosity of M. Van de Weyer, will hinder the effect of
the document. We do not see of what use it can be to
withhold the communication from the Congress, unless it
be to palliate the serious errors and the fruitless intrigues
of our diplomacy, now at its last g isp. Is it more
im-
portant to shew tenderness to the susceptibility of the
Allies, than to let tke country know the whole truth. ?

•- •
(Here fellows the copy of the Protocol, which agrees
with that published by the Paris Paper, La Globes of
Sunday, Feb. 13.)
Our Deplomatic Committee, as well as the Members of
our Provisional Government, have suffered themseves to
be trifled with to the very last moment; it is not even
proved that they are yet undeceived, and it is possible they
may may not give credit to the notice of the refusal which
they will receive to..day from the deputation sent to Paris.
So well was the mystification prepared and .nanaged—so
impossible was it for them at least to see anything but the
opinion which it was thought fit to show them. W?,
not impeach their probity, their patriqtivn, Nj the recti-
tude of their sentiment!e<. The very fact of their having
been made dupes rescucs them from the reproach of dis.
simulation or duplie:ty.
Some ill-informed perousg will ask for what purpose
foreign deplumacy bat: played the fool with a whole Go-
verment, and will its Diplomatic Committee, not except.
ing even M. Nothornb, whose youth should have been con-
sidered, and whom, besides there wos no merit in de-
ceiving ?

In a—ns‘,vor we aro to explain the motives of the plot,
\vith which the Congress at London has much amused
itself in its moments of recreation.

It is well known that France is closely united with Eng-
land to endeavour to oppose the aggrandizement of Russia.
It is likewise notorious that the C 'blast of the Palais
Royal was decidedly adverse tt-4 the election of the Duke
of Leuchtenburg 4', the throne of 13,elgiunt, Lastly, no
body, ticiless it be the Relgian Diplomatists, is ignorant
Chat Engla,nd would not, co guy terms, permit either the
reign of a Vretich prince in Belgium, or the union of that
country with France. These three points were cgreed
upon between the two Cabinets, but Franc%) had at heart
to hinder the election of the Duke, cf Leuchtenberg;
it could not do this except Ly opposing to him, bya secondary
intrigue, the puke of Neino,urs; and to obtain the Arctic n
of this Prince it was necessary to impress on Via partisans
the persuasion that France would ,-;,,ccept for him the
Crown of Belez-iurn. ee.i.c.t and apparently influential
agents %yew egiployed to make the Diplomatic Committee '
helievo that it would have a French King, and M. de
Celles seems to have participated in the scheme. Was he
duped or duping? However, the plan of Freoze has suc-
ceeded : on the One hand it has got rid of the Duke of
Leuchtenburg, and on the othr.,,r has had an opportunity of
giving England y proof of its good faith by the sacriiPe.of
Belginni, for which in due time it will not forget to re-
quire compensation. M. Lebeau has spAen h A the Con-
gress of an impure source from, which the Belgian
Government derived, its conviction. As soon as we are
accivaiuted with this mysterious source, we shall make it

known to the public. Meantime letters from London say
that the Congress of the Five Powers is now engaged in
regulating definitively and in concert the affairs of Belgium.
(From the Journal de la _Belgique.)
BRUSSELS, FEB. 12.—8 y letters from Paris received to-
day, addressed by several of our Deputies to Alembers of
the Provisional Government, it seems that there is no
hope of obtaining the Duke of Nemours as King of Bel-
gians. France and the other Powers would have us
choose for our King the brother of the King of Naples,
born in 1811, who should marry the Princess Mary
daughter of the King of France. On these conditions we
should have all Belgium, including Lemburg, Luxemburg,
and the left bank of the Scheldt.
