but the performance of duty, the attachment of their flocks,
and in the want of worldly wealth, the Established

Our promised article on the great Anti-Slavery Meet-
ing at Birmingbaa• on Wednesday is unavoidably post-
poned till to-morrow.

The French Journals of i7Vednesday are destitute of im-
portant political intelligence. On Tuesday a deputation of
the Parisian market-women were admitted to the presence
of the Duchess of WURTEMBURG, to whom they presented
a beautiful nosegay, as an earnest of the congratulation of
the market-women on the happy delivery of her Royal
Highness. The Duchess was much affected on receiving
so simple a mark of the heart-felt regard of her humble

countrywomen.
The Journal du Havre of Tuesday contains the follow-
ing account of the landing of Marshal SOULT at that port,
on Monday evening :
" The John Wood, English steamer, passed of Sheerness on Sunday,
just as Marshal Soult p oceeded on board the Meteore steamer, and, on
reaching the port of Has on Monday, announced that the two steamers,
with the Ambassador, were in the Thames, and were steering the same
course. On account of the rough weather during the night, it was at
first supposed that the Meteore, instead of continuing her course for
Havre, might have taken the direction of Boulogne, to land the Mar.
dial there, on account of the fatigue which he had experienced. How-
ever, at four o'clock in the afternoon, the approach of the two vessels
was announced by signals from the Heve, and the tri-coloured flag was
i mmediately hoisted on the tower of Francois I. The Marshal was un-
able to land before seven o'clock, when a detachment of grenadiers and
voltigeurs of the Ist light infantry marched into the Place des Pilotes to
form a piquet of honour, and the veteran's return was loudly we].
corned by an immense concourse of spectators. The gallant Mar-
shal was then escorted by the military authorities to the
Hotel de l'Amiraute, where apartments had been prepared for
his reception. Just as he quitted the steamer the Meteore and the
Phaeton fired a salute, which, however, was not answered from the
shore, either because the necessary arrangements had not been made in
time, or because the authorities had received no orders on the subject.
It appears that the Marshal's probable arrival had been communicated
only to the naval authorities, who alone had received the necessary
orders for his reception. He received no official visit from the civil
authorities, and was waited on by the Mayor and Sub-Prefect merely in
their private capacity. The coldness of the reception which the Mar-
shal met with at Havre, and which would apparently prove that
Ministers had given no orders on the subject, induced him to make
the necessary arrangements for his departure at a very early hour

this morning, although on leaving London he had contemplated a
stay of at least twenty-four hours to visit the public establishments of
the town."

Our advices from Madrid are of the 25th ult. ; but as
.e burden of them consists of an enumeration of the

rifling details of a levee, we may dismiss them without

. .
..,
further notice. No despatches had been received from
ESPARTERO, ORAA, NARVAEZ, SAN MIGUEL, or any of

. .
e QUEEN'S Generals, giving an account of any of the

long-promised victories over the rebels. Left to them-
selves, we begin to be of opinion that the Constitutionalists
would require as much time to crush the rebellion, as their
ancestors did to drive the Moors out of Spain.

On the 24th ult. the Empress of RUSSIA arrived at
Munich. The Emperor is also expected to visit that
capital in the course of a few days.
The King of HANOVER is stated to have pronounced
the Germanic Diet incompetent to decide upon the con-
stitutional question at issue between his MAJESTY and his
subjects. It is further stated that he will invoke the Diet
to confirm his judgment of its incompetency.
M. Dubbse, formerly editor of the Journal du Peuple, was arrested
yesterday. It is not known on what account.
The Duke de Duras had an apoplectic stroke last nigh. All his

friends are much alarmed on his account.
A letter from Toulon of the 28th July says,—" The Guerriere Aus.
trian frigate is expected here with his "Imperial Highness the Arch.
duke Frederick (a son of the Archduke Charles)."—Constitutionna

Brussels and German Papers, the former of the Ist
inst., have reached us this morning. With the exception
of the following speech, delivered by the KING en the
29th ult., in answer to an address presented by a deputation
of the inhabitants of the province of Limburg, we find
nothing in them of any general interest :

" Gentleinan," said the King,•' I will reply in a few words to the
address which you have read to me. I will tell you first that I have
always had reason to be satisfied with your province ; it has always dis-
tinguished itself for its patriotism, its devotedness, and its moderation.
You may, therefore, be persuaded, Gentlemen, that its interests are at
this moment defended before Me Conference at London with much zeal
and much sincerity. However, I cannot dissemble it from you, it is un-
happily to be regretted that the connections of Luxemburg with the
GermanConfederation,renderseyour political situation too intricate. There
is an arrangement which would suit Holland, which that country might
even desire, and which it would he easy to conclude to the advantage of
both countries; but there might be an opposition on the part of some
Powers.

" The status quo has been favourable to Belgium ; has permitted the
develop ement of its public spirit, and of its national things, which are
not acquired in a day. This status quo is owing, almost exclusively to
my idea. I daily rejoice more and more at it ; yet in 1833 some persons,
and especially some turbulent spirits, clamorously demanded the imme.
diate and definite execution of the 24 articles.

" As for the termination of our aflliirs, it is impossible now to foresee
when it may take place. There are many points to be regulated, and
the negociations that are commenced are far from being terminated. In
the meantime I recommend to you the same moderation and prudence
that have always distinguished Limburg. Manifestations too vehement
might induce our neighbours, and we have several, to resolve to put an
end to our difterenus at any price, and you know that in treaties the
blame is often laid on those who are the weakest. I cannot but again re-
commend you to persist in your sentiments of moderation, prudence,
and confidence. It is with much pleasure, Gentlemen, that I have around
hie so many Deputies from Limburg—it is a new proof of the unanimity
which prevails among you."
