The last accounts from Brussels state that the
KING had given orders to have the frontier fortresses
put in order, being determined to defend the inde-
pendence of his kingdom, in which resolution he i 3
supported by a great number of Belgians, the public
feeling in Belgium being by no means in favour of a
republic.

LOUIS PHILIPPE.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Is it credible, Sir, that royal honours are paid in
England to a tyrant and a traitor ? Even in the
worst, the most disastrous, the most disgraceful
times, a nation of slaves was not insulted by such a
sight. France, although her King had declared that
he himself was the State, was spared the affront and
ignominy of beholding the royAl carriages sent for-
ward to receive a degraded despot, expelled by the
indignation of the people from his native shores. A
wretch, who during eighteen years has been adding
ingratitude and perfidy to insolence and oppression;
who has treated England, after opan defiance, with
fraud and prevarication, seems, however, to be for-
tunate and rich enough to purchase an honourable
reception at the English Court. They who consent
to such a mission are as unworthy of a residence in
our country as the fugitive of France.

I am, Sir, Your; obediently,
WALTER SAVAGE LANI)OIt.

Bath, Monday morning.
[We cannot agree ith Mr. Walter Savage Landor
in the above recommendaticn. had Lcuis Philippe
come to England in his pride of place as King of the
French, we should have been among the first to have
recommended some public demonstration of indigna-
tion; but it would be unmanly to visit the sins of the
unprincipled Sovereign upon "the poor, weak, and
despised old man," who conies to us as an humble
suppliant for a place whereon to rest "his grey, dis-
crowned head."—ED. Sun.]

TRANSMISSION OF PASSENGERS

FROM FRANCE TO ENGLAND.

The most prompt and active steps have been
taken by the directors of the several steam-
packet companies on the south co;:st, includ-
ing the South-Eastern Railway Company, the
Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company,
and the company of the London, Brighton, and South
Coast Railway, to secure the rapid and regular
transmission of passengers quitting France for
England; and there is no doubt that the most ample
means have been provided for this purpose.
In addition to the Admiralty packets at Dover and
Southampton, the noble fleet of steamers at Folkstone
belonging to the South-Eastern Railway Company
are in full work.

The London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway
Company have, with the most praiseworthy zeal,
and by exertions continued day and night, equipped
their fine new steamers, the Newhaven, Brighton and
Dieppe, in an incredibly short space of time, and these
vessels are now engaged carrying passengers between
Havra and Portsmouth, the Admiral at Portsmouth
having orders from the Admiralty to render every as-
sistance to vessels arriving there with passengers from
France.

The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation
Company have most generously added their noble
vessels, the Iberia, Monarch, Achilles, Madrid, and
Hindostan (now at Southampton) to this service ;
and they also are engaged in carrying passengers
between Havre and Southampton.
