on the part of Mr. Homr to make the
Church Commissioners pay the advance of a
million, should not the clergy do it. The House
thought with Lord ALTHORP, that if any other
means of payment were provided, the clergy
would not be very likely to pay, and accordingly
rejected Mr. IlumE's clause.

Brussels papers of the 20th inst., have been
received. They contain reports of the debates
which took place on the three previous days, on
the law relative to extradition, or the power to
deliver up any criminals from foreign countries,
who may seek refuge in Belgium. This power
was strongly, and we think justly opposed on
the ground that foreign Courts would never fail
to accuse political refugees, especially the poor
Poles, of murder and robbery, in order to in-
sure their deliverance by Belgium. After much
discussion, however, the three first articles were
carried ; the last by a majority of 17, there
being 40 for the law, and 23 against it.
There is an extract in these papers from a pri-
vate letter written in London on Friday evening
last, which says—

" The Conference has caused an intimation to be made
to the King of Holland, that if he will not ask the Ger
man Diet for permission to cede a part of the Grand
Duchy of Luxemburg to be united to Belgium, the Con-
ference will for the present dissolve itself. King William
has announced, that he will not himself ask this permis-
sion, hut if the Conference asks it, and obtain the assent
of the Diet, he will agree to the arrangement. This is the
present state of the case."
From this it is clear that Russia is at her old
game of delay, and we are not sorry for it, be-
cause France and England must at length be-
come sensible of the folly and weakness which
they have so long betrayed in their endurance of
Russian insolence. But the indignation of the
people will shortly compel their respective Go-
vernments to assert the rights of humanity and
vindicate the national character from a base sub-
serviency to such barbarous intrigue and despotic
ambition.

" BrtussEts, Auc. 18.—The King returned yesterday
morning to Lacken from tine camp at Castioux, where he
had been to review the troops.

" The Count de Sampayo, a Portuguse emigrant, who
has long resided at Brussels, and who has been appointed
by Don Pedro High Chamherlaiu to Queen Donna
Maria, is gone to Paris. He is accompany the queen to
Portugal.

" The society of the proprietors of the Polders of Ca-
pitalendam submitted the following demands to the Go-
vernment :

" 1. The payment of the works executed last year.
"2. The resumption of the works of the secondary
sluice to he erected near the sluice Isabella.

" 3. A further advance of 15,000 francs for improving
:be means of drawing off the waters.
" These three demands have been granted.

The Allgemeine Zeitung of the 16th con-
arms the report of the offensive and defensive
alliance which that shrewd diplomatist, Count
ORLOFF has just concluded-by order of NI-
CHOLAS with the Porte. As usual, the Rus-
sian Cabinet has contrived to out-wit both
France and England, and lay a secure foundation
for the future (at no distant period) subjugation
of Turkey. Indeed, already the Porte is neither
more nor less than the helpless vassal of NI-
CHOLAS, and we see not by what means it can
ever hope to regain its independence.

We find by the accounts from the French and
Belgian ports, that the number of passengers
arriving daily from England exceeds that of any
previous year since the commencement of the
peace, and that amongst them are the families
of several noblemen and other wealthy members
of our aristocracy, who have entirely broken up
their establishments at home. To what is this
self-expatriation to be attributed ? Are the
necessaries or the home luxuries and elegancies of
life become more expensive in England than they
were ? On the contrary, they have fallen pro-
gressively 40 per cent. Are the laws and in-
stitutions more rigorous towards the Aristocracy?
No, for although they have abolished many of
their privileges, they have at the same time pro-
vided them with better securities against public
or private violence, and have, therefore, rendered
their property in the country much more stable
than it was. To what, then, are we to attribute
these proceedings ? We are sorry to say, that
we can ascribe them to nothing else than that
mean spirit of revenge which characterised the
French Noblesse between the years 1780 and
1790, and again after the three days of July.
We may, perhaps, divide these emigrants into
two classes—viz. those who are actuated by a
spirit of revenge alone, and those who feel it
comparatively in a smaller degree, but who are
influenced by a timidity of mind as disgraceful
to them as it is dangerous to the interests of the
country and their own. The first would punish
the middle and lower orders for the part which
they took in bringing about the Reform Bill, by
withdrawing the pecuniary encouragement which
their habits of extravagance gave to trade : the
second are alarmed at what they consider the
indications of a revolution similar to that which
overthrew the BOURBON dynasty in France, and
dreading the confiscation of their estates, have de-
termined to reside abroad for the few years during
which they expect to possess them, in order that,
by a rigid economy, in a foreign country,
they may make a purse for themselves and fami-
lies, to support them during the prevalence of
the storm. What absurdity this is ; but if it
were merely absurd, we should not notice it in
any other way than ridicule. There are, how-
ever, important considerations connected with
this subject.
.Whilst the Aristocracy punish,
as they think, the middle and lower orders—
and to a certain extent their spirit of revenge
is certainly gratified—can they be insensible
to the danger of their own conduct, as regards
themselves ? Have they never reflected that they
are really labouring to bring about a revolution,
which could not be produced by any other cause
than their own misconduct—that they are in•
flicting upon their order deeu and indelible dis-
grace—and that all those relations between the
higher and the lower orders of society, which
made the security of the former, are being gra-
dually destroyed ? Convinced by experience
that an tipper but well regulated estate is essen-
tial to the happiness of the community at large ;
and seeing nothing absolutely incorrigible in
our Aristocracy, we would advise them to amend
their conduct, and so adopt their views and their
feelings to the new order of things, that they
may appear less sensible of what they have lost,
than of the blessings which they are still able
to enjoy. We do not want to create a new
Aristocracy, under whatever name it may be
called. It will be the fault of the present Aris-
tocracy, if such should be the result.
