BRUSSELS, APRIL 6.—The publicatioit of the lists
of subscriptions for re-purchasing the horses of the
Prince of Orange, seems to have excited great irrita-
tion among the working classes. Already, yesterday
evening, there were some disorders on this account.
When the company were leaving the theatre, where
some individuals had loudly demanded that the play
advertised for the evening should be changed, and that
instead of Faust the Muette should be performed, a
grouji of about sixty persons formed in the Place de la
Monnoie, round the tree of Liberty, and the arrival
of a considerable number of persons, drawn by curio-
sity, soon swelled the assemblage. The young men,
the workmen, who had formed a circle round the tree of

liberty, after having sung in chorus several patriotic
songs, among which were the " Brabauconne," and the
" Marche de Belges," proceeded to the Rue de l'Eveque,
where they stopped before the house of a society, the
foundation of which is said to be of a recent date. Stones
were speedily thrown at the windows of the ground
floor, amidst cries of " Down with the Orangeists !"
" Down with the club of the enemies of the country!"
and after all the frames had been broken to pieces,
some workmen armed with sticks and hammers entered
the house by the lower windows and broke the lustres
and mirrors of the apartment which looks to the street.
The post at the theatre having taken arms; a patrol of
seven men, commanded by an officer attached to the
staff of the place, speedily arrived in the Rue de
l'Eveque, and the group which had been collected
before the door of this society soon diSpersed and
formed again in the street des Angustins, before the
house where the Lynx is printed. There at least the
authorities had taken some measures. A detachment
of 30 men, commanded by a Lieutenant, was posted
before the house that was threatened ; the burgomaster
having addressed the group, they soon dispersed with
cries of Vive la Ligne! Vive Leopold! It seems
that some workmen have made a riot befor,e the house
of the Duke d'Ursel. _ _

We are too seriously attached to the cause of Bel-
gium, we have too much at heart its glory and its
honour not to deplore such scenes. But at least it
must be hoped that the government will be able to day
to prevent the return of these disorders. The go-
vernment would be wanting in the most essential of its
duties if it were not on its guard, if it were not able
effectually 'to protect persons and property?'
It is, say some, because the late bravadoes of the
Orange party tend to call in question what the na-
tional will has irrevocably decided—the indepen-
dence of Belgium ; it is because these bravadoes
maintain agitation in the country, because they en-
danger the security of the city and its prosperity, and
keep away foreigners, that the workmen are incensed
against those who have signed the lists of subscriptions
for repurchasing the horses of Terveuren. But do not
these workmen see, that scenes like those of last night
are a thousand times more injurious to the prosperity of
Brussels than all the boastings of the Orangeists ?
When property is pillaged, on whom falls the burden
of the indemnity that is to be paid to the owners ? On
the city. And if the magistrates now find it impossible
to meet the expenses, and to continue the execution of
the great works which have so powerfully contributed

to draw strangers to Brussels, to what must it be
ascribed, but to the scenes of devastation which we
witnessed in 1830 and 1831, and to the indemnities
due by the city to the victims of these disorders ? Of
what consequence to us, the defenders of the national
cause, are the vain boastings of the Orange party ?
What can that party do against the will of the nation ?
Have not all its acts proved that it is powerless and in-
sulated ? Without any hold in the country, without an
organ in the Chambers, for its only arm the liberty
of the press, of which it has made ample use, its
journals have said everything,have dared everything, and
there is not a provocation which they have refrained
from using, not an accusation which they have hesitated
to bring forward. Well, which has lost, the national
cause or the Orange cause, by this liberty left to the
journals of the dethroned family ? Answer. Is
it not the Orange cause ? By loudly. proclaiming
as it was enabled to do, its designs and its hopes, the
Orange party has laid itself open ; it has unmasked
itself. Its journals have sunk under the weight of
public contempt. Let us then disdain the bravadoes
of this party ; let us not give them an importance
which they ought not to have, and if the scenes of
yesterday evening were meant only as the prelude of
new disorders, all good citizens have only one motto
and one rallying word—Peace to persons and respect
to property.
P. S. '1 he greatest agitation continues to prevail in
the city. This morning groups are again formed be-
fore the house of the Orange Club, in the Rue de
l'Eveque ; some of the mob soon got intolhe house,
which was completely gutted. At the moment of our
writing the mob continues to break the furniture to
pieces. It seems that all the efforts of the troops to
prevent their excesses have been fruitless. Si-
milar scenes have taken place at the Hotel
of the Duke d'Ursel, whose carriage has been broken
to pieces and part of his furniture thrown into the
street ; a commissary of police who showed himself in
the morning to harangue the groups and invite them
to disperse, was received with hootings, and obliged to
withdraw. But about 10 o'clock in the morning a
detachment of infantry forced the authors of these
disorders to retreat. Towards the same hour about
ten children and some women had collected before the
hotel of the Prince de Ligne, and threw stones at the
windows ; this group was soon increased by a multi-
tude of curious spectators and some of the lowest
population, and in a few minutes the house was entered
and given up to devastation. The tables, chairs,
mirrors, clocks, writing desks, and even whole beds,
were thrown out of the windows, and as soon as they
fell into the street they were broken into a thousand
pieces by the mob. This scene of devastation had
continued some time when a squadron of guards arrived
in full trot, and two battalions of the sth Regiment
advancing in double quick time, and the house was
cleared., A considerable body of infantry and cavalry
were then distributed, the infantry in platoons, the ca-
valry in squadrons, along the Boulevard of the Re-
gent, and in all the streets near the Park. All these
forces were under the command of Gen. Hurel. The
Infantry kept their bayonets fixed, but the cavalry in
general paraded with their sabres sheathed. It is well
known that the Civic Guard at Brussels has fallen into
a complete disorganization, thanks to the supineness of
the ministry and the partial dismay which followed the
campaign of the month of August. Accordingly, no
parcel of that guard was present, only the Chas-
seurs of Chasteler were under arms marching with
colours flying.
About half-past eleven 11, when the whole quarter
of the Park was crowded with curious spectators, and
with the populace, the King left his Palace on
horseback, accompanied by four or five officers
of the staff. He rode along the Rue Ducale,
preceded and followed by an immense multitude,
who made the air resound with cries of " Leo-
pold for ever !—Down with the Orangeists !
Death to the Dutch !" After having been to exa-
mine the military arrangements made to protect the
house of the Prince de Ligne, the King proceeded
to the Boulevard of the Regent, when he passed be-
fore the Regiment of Guides, drawn up in battle-
array, and then returned to his palace, constantly sur-
rounded by an immense multitude. The King was
pale, and appeared to be extremely affected ; he at-
tempted several times to speak to the people, but his
words (drowned in the tumult, and cries of " Leopold
for ever !") could not be heard.
We are assured, but have not been able to
ascertain the fact that, at this moment, the scenes of
devastation which took place in the Hotels d'Ursel
and de Ligne have been repeated, in spite of the ef-
forts of the troops, in the hotels of the Marquis de
Trasignies and of the Count de Belhune.
This evening La Muette de Portice is to be repre-
sented at the Great Theatre. The playbill announces
in large type, Spectacle damn& It is to be feared
that this representation will be the occasion of new
disorder.

The Ilde la Belgique has only a few lines on the
subject of the riots. The Lynx did not appear.

One of our contemporaries (justly, no doubt)
ascribes these disgraceful proceedings to the
Orange faction, who will learn nothing by ex-
perience, and who are the more dissatisfied in
proportion as the effect of the new order of
things is felt in the restoration of domestic
peace and prosperity, where discord and dissatis-
faction had for a long time prevailed. The
public advantage is their loss. If they are so
fond of the Dutch KING and his Government,
why do they not repair to' Holland ? They will
never restore the Dutch ascendancy in Belgium.

The French Papers of Monday state that
an officer has been despatched to Admiral
ROUSSIN, with the official ordinance which
assigns to him the portefeuille of the Marine,
and orders have been transmitted by telegraph
to Toulon, that a ship of war should imme-
diately proceed to Constantinople, to fetch the
Admiral home. According to the Courrier
Francais, letters have reached Paris from
Spain, stating that the Spanish troops have
entered Portugal. The date of those letters,
however, is not mentioned ; and it was known

that, up to Monday, none later than the 28th
ult. had been received in the French capital.
The Moniteur contains a Royal Ordinance,
founded upon a report of the President of the
Council, by which the attributions of the home
and commerce state departments are respectively
fixed.

The following are extracts from the German
Papers received through France. There is

Le in them of importance :

The Augsburg •dazette of the 2d instant has the
following of the 27th ult. from Frankfort There
has been a report that the Polish refugees in Switzer-
land were about to join a party of revolutionists, and
enter Frankfort on the 3d of April, in order to renew
the disturbances of last year. Such a scheme would
be madness. Two of our ultra-liberals, the author
Sanerwein, and another very active member of this
party, set-out for Switzerland yesterday. The political
prisoners here express much repentance for their con-
duct ; they now see that they were but the blind in-
struments of a faction."

This Gazette contains a letter from Rome, dated the
22d ult., in which it is stated that fifteen persons have
been arrested in Rimini for being concerned in the re-
volutionary attempt in Savoy. It is said that the ex-
change of Benevent will be concluded while the King
of Naples is here. Rome has never been so full of
foreigners as at present. Not a lodging can be pro-
cured. Many of the services of the Holy Week will
be performed in St. Peter's, the Vatican not being
large enough to contain the throng of strangers. The
illumination of the cross and dome of this church, sup-
pressed by Leo X 11., will take place this year. We
have cold winds still. The Pope has ordered rain to
be prayed for in the churches. It is in contemplation
to construct an iron railroad from this city to Naples.
The same paper of the 3d instant has the following
of the 27th ult., from Coblentz :—" According to let-
ters from Nassau, it appears that this duchy is about
to adhere to the Germanic system of commerce. This
will be of great benefit to us, our port being the grand
depot for the commerce of Nassau with Holland and
the Rhine." The Gazette announces that the States
of Saxe Meiningen were to assemble on the 2d inst.
Letters from Naples state, that during the visit
of the King of the Two Sicilies to Turin and Paris,

the Duke of Salerno, his Majesty's brother, will ex-
ercise the regency.
The Berlin State Gazette of the Ist instant, an-
nounces that a patent of Russian nobility had been con-
ferred on Prince Paskewitsch of Warsaw.

The Due de BROGLIE has resigned, but the
result has disappointed the expectation of those
who planned and conducted the intrigue. M.
DUPIN and M. MOLIERE remain where they
were. M. THIERS is removed from the depart-
ment of commerce, where his narrow views and
antiquated prejudices formed the great obstacle
to the freedom of trade between France and
England ; and his successor, M. DUCHATEL,
is actuated by most liberal opinions. Admiral
de RIGNY, named to the Foreign-office at the
suggestion of the Duc de BROGLIE, will follow
the system pursued by his predecessor. The
foreign ministers, supposed to have been impli-
cated in the plot, though not unaccustomed to
dissimulation, cannot conceal their chagrin at
this discomfiture of their projects.

The Hamburg Reporter and other Papers
of the 4th instant, have been received this morn-
ing. If we may credit a letter from Vienna,
received at Berlin, the Confederates or Conspi-
rators there are resolved on raising forces to
compel the canton of Berne to expel the Polish
refugees from Switzerland. A note has been
sent to the French Government, intimating that
if Foreign, meaning French, interference,
should be attempted, the Germanic Confedera-
tion will consider it as a declaration
of war ! This is mighty fine, truly I
The Holy Alliance are to interfere as they
please in foreign matters, that is, in the concerns
of independent States ; but if France stir a
foot in their defence, it is to be deemed as a
declaration of war. This is German reciprocity,
we presume ; but if the Holy Alliance are
ready for war let them begin—if they dare :

vernment have now had it inserted in the registers,

BERLIN, MARCH 28.—A letter from Vienna says
a courier had been sent to the Cabinet of the Tuileries,
to bring to the French Government the declaration,
" that if the canton of Berne, notwithstanding the
order received from the Swiss preceding canton ( Vo-
rort), does not immediately expel the Polish and other
revolutionists, the German Confederation will cause
a considerable army of the troops of the Confederation
to enter Switzerland." It is said to be further ob-
served, that Switzerland has placed itself in a hostile
attitude with respect to the other states of Europe, by
receiving foreign rebels and by its own demagogues. It
is also said to be stated on this occasion, that the German
Confederation wishes for no civil war in Switzerland,
and therefore does not accept the offer of the Swiss
Vorort to employ thirty thousand men against Berne,
but that it will now act itself ; and, lastly, it is said to
be intimated to the French Government, that foreign
interference in this affair would be considered by the
German Confederation as a declaration of war.

The following appeared in our second edition
of last night, dated City, five o'clock :

A considerable sensation was produced in the City
this afternoon by the reported breaking out of a revo-
lution in Brussels. It appeared, however, that the
news had arrived by express, of the existence of se-
rious disturbances there, but that they were occasioned
by the efforts of the Orange party to raise subscriptions
to indemnify those who have purchased the Prince of
Orange's horses, which have been detined since the
revolution, and were recently sold by auction, and which
a short time since were sent to the Hague. The parties
who brought the terms published their names, and thus
the people were enabled to know the adherents of the
House of Nassau. Their houses were entered, and their
property destroyed. Leopold, at the head of his Staff,
was for some hours on, horseback, endeavouring to
quell the riot which was, after some difficulty,
effected, and when the news left all was tranquil. The
report of another revolution depressed the price of Con-
sols late in the day from 91 to 90a; Belgian bonds from
100 to 98k, and the Dutch 21 per cent. to 50. As
soon as it was ascertained that the Government of Bel-
gium was not in any way affected by the distur-
bances, the Belgian bonds rallied to 99, buyers, in

private bargains, and Consols for the Account to
901 i. The news at first excited considerable alarm,
whic, however, at the hour we are writing, has sub-
sided.

The two vacant ribands of the Order of
ST. PATRICK have been given to Lord LEI-
TRIM and Lord DONOUGHMORE.

If the Supreme Power of the State were to
order a number of sovereigns to be issued, con-
taining a fourth, a fifth, or a sixth part of gold
less than that contained in the sovereigns now
in circulation,- and the KI NG were to command,
by a royal proclamation, that such sovereigns
should pass in currency as of the same ex-
changeable value with the sovereigns now cir-
culating, the act would not only appear to be
manifestly unjust, but the consequence of it
would be to bring all the sovereigns now in
circulation into the Mint, for the purpose of
being recoined, so that they might not pass in
' currency for less than their actual value in ex-
change ; and the injustice would be greatly
increased if the Mint were to retain the surplus
gold, and return only an equal number of de-
based sovereigns for those brought in. But this
is exactly what is done from time to time by the
Bank of England, by the over-issue of its notes.
The over-issue operates precisely as the debas-
ing of the coin would do in the case supposed,
and sovereigns return to the Bank in order
to escape from the depreciation that would be
cast upon them, if they remained in circulation,
exactly as the present sovereigns would return
to the Mint in the case supposed ; and the
Bank, not being aware that this is the cause

why sovereigns come in upon it, continues to
issue more notes, until the gold being no longer
able to escape degradation by coming into the
Bank, betakes itself abroad, to obtain for itself
that exchangeable value in other countries of
which the over-issue of the Bank deprives it
here, and the Bank is then obliged to contract
its issues until the exchangeable value of its
notes be restored to a par with gold, in order to
prevent the loss to which it is subjected by
being drained of its gold ; and when the ex-
changeable value of its notes is thus restored to
a par with gold, the drain ceases.
We have been led to make these observations
from reading what Mr. MUNDELL says in the
publication from which we have already given
some extracts relative to the debasement of the
coin in the time of HENRY VIII. and EDWARD
VI., which he contrasts with the over-issues of
the Bank of England, and we beg leave to lay
before our readers what he says relative to the
emergency of 1825-6, and every money emer-
gency that has occurred within living memory :
" The consequences of the money crisis in the years
1825-1826 are yet fresh in the recollection of every
one. That that crisis was occasioned by the over-
issue of the Bank, and that every money emergency
within living memory has been occasioned by previous
over-issue producing a subsequent contraction of the
currency, will be manifest from the following statement
of the Bank issues at the period of such emergency,
taken from accounts produced by the Bank Charter
Committee.
" First, 1793.
" The amount of the Bank circulation in February,
1789, was 9,807,210/., and in February, 1791, it was
11,439,2001., being an increase, in two years of
1,631,990/. In August, 1792, it was 11,006,3001.,
being a contraction, in a year and a half, of 432,900/. ;
and in August, 1793, it was 10,865,0501., being a con-
traction in two years of 547,150.*
" Secondly, 1797. . _

" In March, 1795, the Bank circulation was
12,421,2601. In December, 1796, it was 9,609,3401.,
being a contraction, in one year and nine months, Of
2,811,920/.1.
" Thirdly, 1810-1811.
" The issues of the Bank in 1808 were 1,022,980/.
above those of 1807. In 1802 they were 2,519,8001.
above those of 1808; and in 1810 they were
4,264,430/. above those of 1809 ; being an increase of
7,807,210/. in three years, which was contracted
1,298,400/. in 1811.
" Fourthly, 1815-1816.

" There was in 1812 an increase of issue of
411,0301. In 1813 a further increase of 939,0101.,
and in 1814 a still farther increase of 3,710,070/. ;
being an increase of 4,060,1101. in three years, while
in 1815 there was a contractiop of 1,984,030/.
" Fifthly, 1825-1826.
" The Bank continued diminishing its issues, which
were 28,915,940/. in December, 1817, to December,
1822, when they were only 17,165,9401. There was
an increase of 1,955,750/. in December, 1823, and a
further increase of 1,223,2801. in December, 1824,
being an increase of 3,179,0301. in these two years,
while money was rising in exchangeable value; which
so lowered the exchangeable value of the currency,
that (as is admitted by the late Governor) seven mil-
lions and a half of sovereigns were drawn from the
Bank, and sent abroad, between October, 1824, and
November, 1825, before the exchangeable value of its
paper was restored to a par with gold ; but according
to an account which forms No. 5. of the Appendix to
the Bank Committee's Report,
Its stock of bullion in August 1824 was £ 11,787,430
August 1825

X 8,153,110
so that in one year upwards of eight millions of gold
were drawn from the Bank before the exchangeable
value of its paper was brought up to the standard.

in
debased than they would have given for the
standard coin, so the over-issue of the Bank
obliges all persons to give so many more, or so
much more of these commodities in exchange
for the depreciated currency arising from over-
issue, and when the over-issue is corrected by

the contraction of the currency which causes its
exchangeable value, positive loss is thus brought

upon all capital engaged in works of industry.
Hence it is that some men of moneyed capital
withdraw from works of industry, and others re-
frain from engaging in them from the loss and
the hazard of loss thus thrown upon all works
of industry, and hence the growing amount of
unemployed money capital in this country, and
the increasing want of employment among the
working classes thereby occasioned.
We further beg to call the attention of our
readers to the amount of the country circula-
tion, contrasted with the Bank circulation, as

it now for the first time appears. From an
account which we published lately, laid on the
able of the House of Commons, it appears

that the aggregate amount of the notes of
country banks in circulation between th€
28th August and the 28th December last,

* Appendix to Bank Report, No. 5.
t Appendix to Bank Report, No. 28.

was only 10,152,1041., while from another a
count, previously laid upon the table of t,
House of Commons, it appears that ti
amount of notes in circulation of the nal
of England, on the 31st August last,
wf
19,629,7101., and that upon the 28th Deco
ber last it was 17,730,6301. We
might her
as Mr. MUNDELL has done distinctly, sh°
that the over-issue is always with the Bank'
England, and not with, the country banks;
we forbear at present to do more than call t
attention of our readers to the amount of the r
lative town and country circulation, and for ti
further fact, that the alternation of exPal
and contraction of the currency is one leaual
cause of the distress which has prevailed, all
continues to prevail, in the country.

Oxford has selected as its Chancellor,

however, in the declaration against the acllll,lt

he who expresses so much liberality and isloo%

-
lessens their influence far more than they sup
pose. Surely, if they refuse dissenters adinl
sion to their Universities, they will not ,°bjetee
l
to their having one of their own? Let a c"jatht
be granted to the London University, an
to
dissenters will probably give the preferenc b e
re
it, at least until a thorough reform sh all
taken place in Oxford and Cambridge.

The Scottish Church Reformers are striving
in right earnest to maintain the establishment;
by correcting its evils. They assert the '6'o
of the people to choose religious teachers, 89
they choose other teachers, for themselves' the
destroying patronage they will render the
church popular, but how will this advancethat
designs of those Dissenters who mainta'voll
endowments are ruinous to the church ? heir
the people have the power of choosing
'sto,
own pastors, will they not return to the
blished Church, and leave the Dissenters ?

was delivered. Mr. Brookes became an insolvent, and

s'eatity available. The bill filed was for a discovery,

tatnon law roceeding in one of the courts in Ireland,
aIIZI the injunction granted was a special injunction.
0" defendants, when they parted with their money had
t° notice that the bill which they took as a colla-
etal security had not been given for a valuable
asideration. They were in no way implicated in
Junillegal transactions respecting it, and, as the in-
uetion that had issued was quite unprecedented, the
eittned counsel submitted it ought to be forthwith
dissolved.
1110 LORD CIIANCELLOR would consider the case.

beent for the payment of the annuities, and there
