BRUSSELS AND GERMAN PAPERS.

BRUSSELS, OCT. 12.—The Courrier Beige having
repeated, in its Number of the 11th of this month, that
Marshal Soult had sent to the Belgian Government the
order not to make any opposition to the Dutch changing
the garrison of Maastricht, we are authorised to declare
that this assertion is completely false, and that neither
the Government, nor the Minister of War, have received
any despatch from that Marshal, containing even any
intimation which can relate to such a fact.
As for the authentic document, which the Editor of
that journal says be has in his hands, and which is to
prove that Marshal Soult has before given orders to our
Government, we are equally authorised to declare that
neither the Government, nor the Minister of War, has
any knowledge of it.
For any impartial reader it is unnecessary to add, that,
notwithstanding the just deference of the Government to
friendly Powers, it will never receive orders from any one :
we besides believe that nobody thinks of giving it any.

A letter from Ghent, of the 10th, says that a detach-
ment of the 3d regiment of the line, coming from Ath, and
consisting of 184 men, bad arrived there on the 9th, and
235 more, of the 4th regiment, were coming from Liege,
all of whom were returning to their homes with unlimited
furloughs.
A letter from the Pavilion at Ostend, dated Wednesday
evening, says :—" Lady Morgan yesterday, previous to her
departure, visited this establishment, with which she was
delighted. We hope that the flattering reception which
her Ladyship has met with in Belgium will induce her to
return and settle in this country, as she declares it to be
her intention to do.

A strong detachment of soldiers, enlisted for the Queen
Donna Maria, sailed last night for Dover, with a good

wind.

BRUSSELS, OCT. I3.—Dr. Bowring returned from
Antwerp the day before yesterday. He is much pleased
with the journey, and with the information he has obtained
respecting our commerce. All the documents will be
carefully collected which may serve to guide the English
Government and ours in the relations to be established
between the two countries.

The breaking up of the camp at Diest, which was to
have taken place yesterday, is to be deferred till the 15th
of this month. The French army of the North, the
dissolution of which was vaguely spoken of, will remain
organized even after the breaking up of the camp.
BRUSSELS, OCT. 14.—The camp at Scheldt will not
break up till the Ist of Nov. The head-quarters of the
4th division, under the command of General Dance, will
be then transferred to Mons, anti the troops under him will
be distributed between Mons, Tournay, Charleroi, and Ath.
It is said that the intended journey of the King and
Queen to Paris is put off indefinitively.
Dr. Bowring sets out for Paris to-morrow.
13aussEr.s, OCT. 15.—The French General St. Cyr
Nugues. Chief of the Staff of the Army of the North, is
now at Brussels.

The epidemic having ceased at St. Bernard and Most,
orders have been given to send prisoners to those esta-
blishments. . . _

The learned Lelewel, whose name is so celebrated in the
Polish revolution, has for some time past resided in
Belgium. A few days ago he went to Ghent to
view the Cabinet of Medals, and returning to Brussels on
foot be was arrested on the road by some gendarmes and
thrown into the prison at Alost, where he had to pass the
night on straw; but having been brought to Brussels, he
appeared before the Juge d'lnstruction, who, having ex-
amined his papers, immediately set bim at liberty, ex-
pressing his regret at what bad happened. It appears
that be was arrested because be bad a French passport for
England.

SMYRNA, S EPT. O.—The peace concluded between
Turkey and Mehemet Ali, when viewed in its true light,
is but an armistice. The Pacha has laid down his arms
because Russia interfered, but he has not renounced his
ambitious projects. In Egypt, as well as in Syria, the
levy of men both for the army and navy continues.
Several new regiments are being formed, and the con-
struction of two new ships of the line is to be began very
shortly. If the Pacha entertained the peaceable senti-
ments which are ascribed to him, he would disband a part
of his numerous army, and thereby improve his finances,
which are in a very exhausted state.
All persons who come from Egypt give the mostgloomy
description of the misery which prevails among the inha-
bitants of that country.—Allgemeine Zeitung, Oct. 11.
FRANKFORT, OCT. 10.—The Duke and Duchess of
Cumberland arrived here yesterday. They are accom-
panied by Lord Wellesley, General Sir John Slade, and
Bal on de Grape. —Frankfort Pop us Oct. 11.

DOVER, OCT. 16.—His Royal Highness
Prince George of Cambridge, accompanied by the Duke of
Wellington, the Rev. Mr. Wood, and suite, arrived at
Wright's Ship Hotel, this morning, at seven, from Waliner
Castle, where the Prince slept. After partaking of an
elegant dejeune, the Prince and suite embarked on board
his Majesty's mail packet Crusader, Captain Lyne, for
Calais, which moved from the quay at half-past ten,
under a salute from the batteries.

The Duke of Wellington intended to have
returned to Apsley House in the course of the present
week, but his Grace has derived ao much benefit from bis
sojourn at Weimer Castle, that we hear he intends to
prolong his stay there. His Grace is in excellent health,
and is expected to dine with J. 1). Parker, Esq., at Can-
terbury, to-morrow, on which occasion a grand enter-
tainment is to be given, and the Earl of Winchilses the
Earl of Guildford, and a large number of the nobility and
gentry of the country are expected to be present.
PARTIAL FALL OF THE CHAIN PIER.
About a quarter to eight last night, during the violent
storm that raged, a flash of lightning struck several of the
suspension rods on the east side of the second and third
bridges of the Chain Pier, which thereupon gave way, and
the platform of the third bridge fell into the water. The
platform of the second bridge is banging to the rods on the
west side. Happily no lives were lost.--Brighton Guar-
dian of Wednesday.
The county of Caithness, at a public meeting
on the 30th ult. passed a series of resolutions, expressive
of their high sense of the character and conduct of Mr.
Trail!, late Sheriff of the county, who has retired from
the insportant office he held upwards of half a century,—
.Edinburgh Advertiser.

LONDON,
THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 17, 1833.

One of the Paris Papers states that the French
Government has given orders to all the autho-
rities throughout the country, that no Spanish
Refugees shall be permitted for the present to
reside nearer to the Spanish frontiers than 40
leagues. The motive assigned for this extraor-
dinary conduct is a desire to avoid giving offence
to the Spanish Government, which has declared
war against liberal principles, and also that the
French Government may remain more at liberty
to interfere against the Carlists in the event of

their being joined by BOURNIONT and other
French officers, than it would be if the Spanish
Refugees were to be allowed to proceed to their
native country for the purpose of turning the
scale in favour of liberal institutions. There is
an excess of delicacy about the policy of the
French Government, in the present instance,
which justifies a suspicion of the sincerity of its
motives. What earthly comparison can there
be between the aid given to the Carlists by
foreign adventurers, who are to be hired at so
much per day by any despot, and the assistance
offered by Spanish patriots to their fellow
countrymen, at a moment when their presence
might be productive of the most beneficial
results, not only to Spain but also to the
cause of reason and humanity throughout
Europe ? We suspect that although Louis
PHILIP may be afraid of the triumph of
Carlism in Spain, he is equally, if not more
afraid of the ascendancy of those principles
which he made the stepping-stone to a throne,
but which he kicked away when he was once
fairly seated. We suspect that although he would
in an emergency draw the sword against abso-
lutism, lest it should raise a question of his
legitimacy, and deprive him of his dignity, he
has a still greater desire to put down the Libe-
ralism by which he is equally threatened. At
heart Louis PHILIP is just as much an
Absolutist as the more legitimate Absolutes
who question, although they have formally
acknowledged, his right to the throne, and if
lie could put down liberal principles in

France without at the same time increasing
the influence of the dethroned branch of the
Bourbons, Louis PHILIP would have re-
course to any coup d'etat for such a purpose.
Are we not justified in this estimate of his
character by an impartial review of his conduct
since he ascended the throne ? Look at his
prosecutions of the liberal press,—at his attempt
to surround Paris with fortresses, in order that

its inhabitants might be at any moment overawed
by a military garrison,—at his conduct to those
Poles who had written and spoken warmly
in support of liberal principles,—ask those
who are in the secret how much has
been paid from the secret service money
by his order (nobody suspects him of having
paid his own money) to French and foreign
newspapers to attack those principles upon which
he rose to power. Look at all his public
speeches for the last two years—at his reply
to the Mayor of Lisieux, when that honest
functionary was so imprudent as to felicitate the

KING on being:the head of afree people. With
what warmth, what energy, Louis PHILIP has
delivered himself in support of what he calls
" the cause of order"—with what eargerness he
has profited by every occasion to discourage
manifestations of public liberty, and then how
sparing he has been of strictures on the anti-
liberal principles of his co-sovereigns ! His par-
tisans tell us that he wept over the fall of
Poland. If he did so, it was in his closet ;we
find no evidence of his sympathy either in his
public speeches or his public conduct. We
have been told that he felt for the wrongs of
Italy. A man's feelings are known only to him-
self, but there was no evidence of his wish to
serve the Italian patriots in his sending a mock
expedition to Ancona, the effect of which was
to enable the Pope and the Austrians to carry
on the work of butchery with greater security;
and now there are persons who assert that
Louis PHILIP is anxious for the restoration of
Spanish liberty. By what is his anxiety proved ?
By forbidding the Spanish Refugees to approach
within 100 miles of their native country.
These sovereigns are lucky people to have par-
tisans and parasites to trumpet their fame,
whilst in their conduct they evince no disposi-
tion to deserve honourable celebrity, and Louis
PHILIP is, of all sovereigns, the most lucky,
since, whilst he offers no proof of his being
different from his colleagues in the kingly office,
he has the reputation of being the constitutional
head of a free country.
But events arc mightier than measures, and
the voice of the multitude is louder than the
trumpet which heralds the approach of the Ge-
neral. Public opinion will soon drive Louis
PHILIP to the alternative of choosing between
retreat and a real exercise of the strength of his
people for good and wise purposes. The coquet-
ting system between Louis PHILIP and the
despots must soon have an end; and when they
shall cry, " Who is not for is against us ," the
French King, become sensible of the im-
possibility of subjugating France as their ally,
will place himself at the head of the French
nation as their enemy. He is neither
deficient of courage nor energy, and once
compromised in a good cause, he may not
prove unworthy of the confidence which the
people would repose in him. The insults which
he has recently received from Russia must have
already opened his eyes to the utter uselessness
of the juste milieu system, as regards the des-
pots of Europe, and to the danger of it as re-
gards his own nation. Let him profit by the
lessons which lie has received, and become an
honest, in the hope of also becoming a great,
Sovereign.

A courier from Paris arrived this morning
at the French Embassy. The despatches,
however, of which he is the bearer are not of a
later date than the papers and letters which
have reached us in due course by Esta-
fette. On Monday afternoon the French
Government received despatches from Ma-
drid, dated the Bth instant, stating that the
Spanish Ministry had received information
from the ;French Charge d'Affaires and the
British ambassador at Lisbon, that Don CAR-
Los had quitted Portugal on the 4th inst. This
news, however, was premature, as it is certain,
by direct accounts from Portugal, that he had
not entered the Spanish territory on the sth inst.
BOURMONT, LAROCHEJAQUELIN, and some
other French officers, were, according to the ac-
counts from Madrid,performing quarantine in Es-
tremadura, under the surveillance of the authori-
ties, and were to be sent to Cadiz or Malaga.
Madrid was tranquil, and the road from the ca-
pital to Bayonne free from Carlists. It is
also asserted, that the troubles in Biscay had
not extended to other parts of the country.
These despatches, it should be observed, are only
to the Bth inst., and private letters from Paris of
the same date, give a very different account of
the state of Spain. They say that several small
places in Estremadura had declared for Don
CARLOS, and that in Vittoria the Carlists were
expected to proclaim him King, the Li-
berals of that important place, who are
very numerous, being unwilling to support
the Government without pledges as to an
amelioration of the existing system. Should
Vittoria, which is the capital of the province in
which it is situated, and a very important place,
both as regards commercial and political in-
fluence, declare for Don CARLOS, the Go-
vernment will be compelled to call in
the aid of the Liberals, in order to prevent
the general spread of the insurrection. As
this is the 17th, the French Government must
either have received telegraphic despatches from
Bayonne, with accounts from Madrid up to
the 10th inst., which, from their not being
published, are not satisfactory, or some part of
the road from Madrid must have been in the
hands of the Carlists.

The Paris Papers of Tuesday contain a good
deal of interesting information on the state of
Spain, but without any important fact to enable
us to pronounce an opinion as to the real
strength of the Government. The Moniteur
announces that Baron MORTIER (son of the
Duke of TnEviso) has been appointed Ambas-
sador from the Court of France at the Court of
the Queen of PORTUGAL, and the Journal des
Debuts announces, that a courier was sent off
to Madrid on Sunday to convey to M
de RAYNEVAL letters which accredit him as
Ambassador to the Regent of Spain.
The courier who left Madrid on the Bth
passed through Vittoria on the 9th inst., when
every thing was tranquil.

Brussels Papers, to the 15th inst., arrived this
morning. One of them contains an authorized
contradiction of the statement made by the
Courrier Belge,that Marshal SOULT had sent to
the Belgian Government an order not to make
any opposition to the Dutch changing the
garrison of Maestricht. It was hardly neces-
sary, we think, to contradict so improbable a
statement, for whatever may have been the
advice of Marshal SOULT, he is too wise

to dictate to Belgium in the shape of an abso-
lute order. We have reason to believe, from
information which has reached us through a
private but authentic channel, that the French
Ministry have requested the Belgians for the
present not to resent too hastily any movement
of the Dutch Government.

We direct attention to a letter signed " Vin-
dex," on the subject of the sale of military

commissions.

The Associations for the repeal of the
assessed taxes, if they do not much increase
the number of their members, endeavour to
make an impression by their activity. A general
meeting was held yesterday at the Yorkshire
Stingo, which appears to have been well at-
tended, and will, we hope, convince the Go-
vernment, who had, it is said, sent some per-
son to watch the proceedings of the meeting,
that the house and window taxes cannot any
longer be maintained. The objects of the reso-
lutions, proposed by different speakers, were to
pledge the meeting not to buy or sell goods
seized for non-payment of the assessed taxes,
and to petition the KING speedily to assemble
Parliament. We have already stated our
opinion, that carrying the first-named object
into effect, can only be attended with dis-
tress to the parties concerned, without in
any way forwarding their main plan. Even if
people are to a certain extent deterred from buy-
ing seized goods, their fetching a low price
will be no consolation to their quondam owner.
This appears to be felt by some, even by some
of the cheerers of the resolutions ; for when one
of the speakers was dilating upon the disappoint-
ment that would attend the tax-gatherers on a
sale of seized goods, a voice in the crowd called
out, " But in the meantime we are ruined." It
is precisely that which should be urged upon the
enthusiasts of the Associations. They will be
ruined, and without advancing their object, for
the repeal of the house and window taxes may
be insured without resistance to what is actually
the law. Resistance, to even au unjust law,
ought not to be had recourse to till all
Constitutional means have been had re-
course to for its repeal. We see that
the first resolution adopted yesterday, opens
with the declaration that the " Associa-
tion having had recourse to every measure,
consistent with their duty as good citizens, to
obtain relief," &c. ; but this is an error, for the
Association has only sprung into existence since
the prorogation of Parliament, and has not,
therefore, even had the opportunity of petition-
ing Parliament, which we deem to be a "duty of
good citizens," before having recourse to resist-
ance to the law. A numerous association,
petitioning for a specific object, would make a
much greater impression on the Legislature,
than many petitions from the same persons
in their individual capacity, even supposing
that all the members of the present association
had signed such petition last year, which, it may
be safely said, not one half of them did.
There is another constitutional error, of a
grave description, into which several of the
speakers at yesterday's meeting appear to have
fallen—viz., that of supposing that the KING
has anything to do with the assessed taxes,
because popularly called " the King's taxes."
The interest and desire of the KING must be,
that all the taxes should be levied in the fairest,
easiest, and most equal manner ; but he has no
power to give them any character whatever. He
is bound by the theory of the Constitution,
and does actually in practice take the advice of
his responsible counsellors and of Parliament, in
giving his assent to the imposition of particular
taxes, so that be they good or be they bad he
has nothing to do with the matter. We thought
this was so well understood even by the most
ignorant of the population, that we were sur-
prised to see that several of the speakers yes-
terday talked of " the KING taking the conse-
quence of their being no longer able to pay," of
" their only supporting the Crown so long as
they got a proper return for their motley," and
of " their only loving the KING so long as the
KING acted in accordance with the welfare of
their country and their constitution." This is
all pure nonsense, and we will not pay any large
body of our countrymen the ill compliment of
supposing that they look to any other sources
than the responsible Ministers of the Crown and
the Reformed Parliament for a redress of un-
doubted grievances, before taking the matter into
their own hands.

MRS. INCHBALD.—The Memoirs of Mrs.
Inchbald afford, perhaps, one of the most singular expositions
in existence of a person whose fate in life had few parallels.
An early fugitive from home, stung by an ambition to be
eminent in an art for which nature had denied her the
chief requisites ; a young country beauty thrown without
protectors among the most dangerous scenes of London
life; an enthusiast doomed to be disappointed in the ten-
derest emotions of her heart ; exposed to the tyrannical
caprice of theatrical managers, and to other insults, yet
always preserving her honour, and though uneducated,
eventually acquiring independence by her pen. Such
were some of the remarkable features of Mrs. Inchbald's
existence; and in developing these it will easily be
imagined that many curious scenes must be brought to
light. In speaking of her " Life," the reviewer in Taii's
Magazine says--" He confesses form the most important
addition lately made to those rare and valuable books
which teach men and women to know themselves, by
displaying before them, unveiled, the real writings of a
noble and powerful, but still a merely human and a female
nature."
