whiCh iiii.Ctittle.no ordinary. acquisition iri this
young actress. Her face is beautiful, her eyes
very exptotive, as, indeed, is the whole of her
countenance, and ter figure elegant. 'She has
altisgether the aspect of a gentlewoman. He •
Voice is clear and powerful, and her •utterance
distinbt and impressive. Her deportment is natural
and 'easy. The charactet whi'cli she pert-tanned-was
Aou'etEa Wildenhaini, and we never saw it so well re-
presented before. The only fault which we observed
was too intielifondiingolAnhalt. The delicacy of her
sex, the soelety to which she must be supposed to
-lnive• been accustomed, considering the rank of
her lattfaJand the sanctity of Anhatt's character,
shonld, have )restrained her from such caressing,
but it so, easily hpon her, and was se pleasing
effVei, that we should feel reluctant-in noticing
it if wt nnt:'feel it to be our duty to he
partial. Her timidity and.tetror Were so strong
on her entrance that she waS with difficulty kept
from fainting ; but the cheering of the audience,
.and the kind but resolute attention of POPE,
enabled her to subdue her fears, and she
soon after threw forth her powers with ad,
mirable effect. The applause which she re-
peatedly received was in the highest degree
encouraging, .and the impression which she made
may ~well!be considered as a foretaste of the warm
support. which she is likely to receive from the
public at large. The play was altogether very weir
supported.' iVe never saw RAE. to so much std-
vantage as in Frederick; he displayed•sentzibility,
spirit, judgment,' and characteristic energy;
through the "whole, and had the reward of
fervent • applause. Verdun was sustained by

of character by which he originally rendered
the part so popular. POPE gave full dignity

BRUSSELS PAPERS.

TIIE INAUGURATION OF TTIF, KING OF THE
NI:THERLANDS. •

ButPssELs , SErr. 22.—The- day of yesterday,
in coni.clidat'ngthe ties which already unite the-
-Sovereign so the nation, has also confirmed the
Itopcs of the -true friends of their crittntry..--
I:hrtngh this important solemnity had for wit--
tresses the numerous population of this capital,
increased by crowds of the inhabitants of the
neighbouring towns, and also of strangers of (Hs,
t inction, we doubt not but they will be pleased to
,
-see us retrace the picture of this truly national
.festival, which so warmly interested them. On
Tuesday evening- the hrociamation of the 'heralds,
a salute of 101 cannon, and the ringing of bells,
-announced to the people the august ceremony of
the following day. Yesterday morning, at seven
o'clock, the same solstice' was repeated, and the
Tinging of the bells was 'again heard. On re-
collecting that scarcely three months are elaps-
ed since the thunders of war,, resounding alsno,,t,
-tinder .our very tvallS, announced carnage and
destruction, we. could not but feel deeply im-
pressed with the happiness-of. our present si-
loation, when this sonnA, which was then so
thrrateolt and so terrible, is. only the inter-
preter of joy, the presage of public felicity. This
sentiment was still increased by the sight of the
brave •men, Wild had so great a share in those im-
mortal days, fo which we owe. the maintenance
of our independence. At half past nine the, States
General were -assembled in the hall' prepared for
the purpose. The President, of each Chamber
having read the decree containing his nomination,
the General Assembly constituted itself to wait for
the King, who, at ll'o'clock, left his palace, ac-
companied by a numerous and brilliant suite, dis-
posed according to the order settled by: the , pl o-
gramme. The immense crowd which listed the
titreets.and filled windows, the splendour of
the finest autumnal day, the beauty of some equi-
pages, the fine appearance of the troops, all gave
to this procession the most noble.and pompous
aspect. Being arrived at the hotel of the States
Cieneral, his Majesty took 1513 seat upon the
Tirone, with the ceremony that bad been settled,
and delivered the following speech
" ta:. ,117,4141 y Lords,—the day on s;•hich I beheld the
States General chosen from all the provinces of the Nether-
lands 'nc.sembled round this Throne, fulfils one of the oost
ardent desires of my heart.

"The intimate and solid 'anion of thesa nivinces, Was,

rear three centuries ago, the object of a Priuz.-:, more happy
than ninny of bis ancestors and successors bad been, and edu-
cated in this country, and who was never denied to possess a
profound liitowledge of its wants, and a sincere attachment to
its interests.

" Charles the Fifth was convinced that the Netherlands,
to be happy and independent, should not only obey the sonic
Sovereign, but also be governed by the sattie general hws.—
Ile however was. not alloWed to dedicate his life to this salu-
tat3, work ; and, instead of the union so much desirell by him,
as well as by his disciple, William the First, it was necessary
to submit to melancholy separation. •

" At what period were the results of this scparntion more
shoehin, more fatal than in these latter years, and what ge-
neratiim has been in a higher degree than ours, the witness
arid the victirn of them ? •

f' The supreme authority had passed into foieign bands;
even the shadow of our plitical :existence liad disappeared,
and the name of the Belgic people was effaced no less than

th•ir power. • •
But our characteristic manners, gond respect for
religious ideas, attachment to the institutions and customs of
our fathers, were preserved, and formed a scarcely visible,
hot durable. bond of union between all these,prOrinces. And
thus it was, that immediately' afte'r thoSe ever-memorable
events, which permitted the establishment of the Belgic mu-
uarchy, 'its divers elements seemed voluntarily to present
themselves, and in All the parts was seen a certain tendency
to unite in One and the same centre. • ,

" Now that this edifice exists, it is we, high and mighty
Lords, who are answerable to our country, and to posterity,

for its preservation and consolidation:

" In the important, duties whicll'are my lot, I depend upon

voter co'-operation and your patriotic zeal.

" Dirlicultios may arise ; but uo really:grcat work is free
frrith them ; and bow can they alarth Irelgium, to which Pro-
vidence has granted such signal favour ?

• " Free from iuternal dissentious and agitations, my soli-,
jects have been able to give thernselves.up without constraint
to their ancient industry. Commerce flourishes, tranquillity
reigns in the country as in the towns ;. the temples and public
'worship arc every where honoured. The ease spread over
almost all the parts of the kingdom has served to console and
relieve those which have suffered by the effects of 'war; and
one would even say, that this war itself has burst forth in
our neighbourhood, only to render Brussels a witness to the
courage of our defenders and of their, intrepid Allies; to
maim the virtues of charity and beneficence shine therewith
a li.*tve hitherto unknown; in st word, to inspire or to cherish
every where mutual sentiments, benevolence, confidence, and

eStcrill.

" It is for vOn; high and mighty Lords,,to cultivate these
precious seeds'. Let us never forget, that concord is the best
guitrante of the common security. Manifest on every occa-
sion that desire of goOd, that devotion to the general intereitt
.the Isingdom, which characterise the enlightened patriot;
and by the influence of your example the love of liberty
and of the institutions which protect it, be swine cemented in
every hott.

liappy will be the monarchy of thel3elgiatts, and happy
the strong in their confidence and their
Snyereiga, who,
affection, shall guide them in the career of prosperity and

COlnt de Thiennes, .President of the First
Chamber, replied by the following discourse :
•;, s:,, i..—The States-General of your kingdom lay at your
Majesty's Icet, the expression of their respect and of their

entire devotion. . .
" At the Moment when an august and solemn ceremony,
Ferforined aecording to ancient usage, your Majesty is going
to swear to Maintain and observe tlfle Constitution, and to
receive from the `4tates-General the same oath, as well as that
of obediente and fidelity to your reial 1 erson and- dignity,
they indulge with .confidence in the hope of the happiness,.
which the inhabitants of this kingpin arc going to enjoy

Vnaet the 'goternatent of your M42sty, And Ofpur

dynasty.
‘‘ For,orly 'united and forming but one state, these pro-
yinces bad attained under the reign of the Emperor, Charles V.
film highest degree of glory and prosperity.
" His successor, having attempted to establish despotism,
experienced a resistanct,.. wh:ch obliged him to renounce Lis
.project, and while in consequence of the wars which broke

out on this occasion, the northern pra:•inces conqueted their
independence, :the others obtaineil the pl'eservation of the,ir
laws and usa,-;;;s in Which they placed their whole li::ppiness.
" At length►, after a separation of ~thre's centuries, and
ina.ny -vicissitudes, the late events ha►•e brought on the re-

union of the two countries, under the gen-eminent of your

i\bAraty.

" Thus it falls to the lot cf the descendant of birn who
foantled the Itepublic,of Holland, anddeliveredthe Belgic
provinces fyont oppression, to confirm auew the ba.ppinesi of
