LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 21, 1832.

Despatches have been received by M. VAN
de WEYER, the Belgian Minister, from General
GOBLET, announcing the retirement of M. de
MEULINARE, the Belgian Minister for Foreign
Affairs, and the appointment of General GOB-
LET to that post, ad interim. An entire change
of the Belgian Ministry is announced, but it is
not yet officially stated who are to replace them.
" M. Van de WEYER has received from Gen.
GOBLET f ,
ull powers to treat with the Dutch
Minister, Baron Von ZUYLEN, on the dispute
between Holland and Belgium ; but up to the
present time Baron Von ZUYLEN has received
no powers from his Court to treat with M. VAN
de WEYER on the subject; and it remains to be
seen whether the King of HOLLAND will con-
sent to such a mode of proceeding, taking for the
basis of it the recommendations of the Con-
ference.

It is not true, as stated by some of our
Contemporaries, that LEOPOLD has accepted
certain propositions from the Conference ; he
has neither accepted nor rejected any thing
that has been suggested to him from that
quarter ; and the Conference have merely ad-
'Vised the course which they wish him to fol-
l Ow. The retirement of M. de MEULINARE
and the other Ministers, however, and the
Powers given to M. VAN de WEYER to
negotiate with the Baron Von ZUYLEN, are, we
think, strong indications of a disposition on the
Part of LEOPOLD to adopt most, if not all, the
s_uggestions of the Conference. At present there
does not appear much probability of a similar
course being adopted by the King of HOLLAND.
Whilst on this subject, we may state from
authority, that there is not the slightest truth in
the statement of General CHASSE having re-
frained from firing on the Belgians at Antwerp
owing to some fresh concessions by Colonel
BUZEN. The orders given to Colonel BUZEN
were to continue his works, and if CHASSE
should fire, to return it. CHASSE'S forbearance
is attributed to the arrival of orders to that effect
from Holland.

The appointment of a new Ministry in Bel-
gium is expected to take place almost immediately.

We have every day greater cause to admire
the zeal and ingenuity with which the Tories
continue to work their own ruin. In their day
of power warning after warning was given them
not to stretch the cord too tight,—to relax it a
little, lest it should break ; hut they heeded no
\Naming, and fell. They are now exerting all

their energies to regain power, and, in spite of
experience, appear as little scrupulous of the
means of doing so as they were of those they
employed to retain it. Again they are warned.
Let them not again despise the warning, or they
will find that they can fall lower yet. Nearly
everywhere do they appear to be using the most
unconstitutional species of intimidation for the
purpose of influencing electors. This must
inevitably lead to the ballot. Reformers, at pre-
sent opposed to it, are universally beginning to
see its necessity, and the only reason why they
have not yet advocated it is, that they have be-
lieved the destruction of rotten boroughs would
render elections free. If that be proved not to
be the case, are the Tories idiotic enough to
suppose that the same power which destroyed
the rotten boroughs could not establish voting
by ballot, strengthened too as that power will
be by the operation of the Reform Act ? Let
them take warning by Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S
declaration at the Torquay dinner a short time
hack (whose speech will be found in another
column) ; let them take warning by a similar
declaration of Mr. PELHAM'S, at the Grimsby
Reform Festival (some account of which will ap-
pear in our paper to-morrow), and by the cheers
with which those and the like declarations are
universally received. Let them not have if said
of them, that they forced the adoption of the
ballot.

We have been unavoidably obliged to post-
pone till to•day the insertion of theßeport of the
Dramatic Committee, which will be found in

another column. We trust that in the ensuing
Session Mr. EDWA RD LYTTON BULWER, the
Chairman of the Committee, will embody its re-
commendations in a Bill. There could, we
should think, be little doubt of its being success-
fully carried. In saying this we rather look to
the great improvement that would be made upon
the present law, than as approving of the whole of
the Report, for a part of it is as inconsistent with
principle as it well can be. We allude more par-
ticularly to the recommended extension of the
authority of the LORD CHAMBERLAIN. We
should have been willing to agree to its total
abolition ; and we imagine that Mr. BULWER
only suffers its continuance in the hope of con-
ciliating a party whose opposition he dreads.
No policy can be more mistaken, for the advo-
cates of the present system have minds so framed
as to make it nearly as painful to them to sur-
render the least of its abuses, as to see the whole
done away with. What is to be done with men
who argue that country managers ought to be
permitted to rob metropolitan authors, because
otherwise country people would never see new
pieces ? Mr. BULWER may depend upon it,
that no concession will satisfy men who can
gravely advance in the House of Commons
absurdities such as this. Let him at any
rate try whether he cannot get theatres again
placed on the same footing as newspapers. No
argument can be advanced in defence of a cen-
sorship of the stage that will not equally, or more
strongly, apply to a censorship of the press, and
whoever pretends to oppose the latter cannot
consistently be friendly to the former. Should
he fail in his attempt, the public will at any rate
know their enemies, and thank him for the dis-
covery. That part of the Report which recom-
mends that "the author of a play should pos-
sess the same legal rights and enjoy the
same legal protection as the author of any other
legal production, and that his performance
should not be legally exhibited at any theatre,
metropolitan or provincial, without his express
and formal consent," has our most cordial ap-
probation. It is wonderful, with the example of
France before our eyes, that we should so long
have imposed upon ourselves the injury, and
upon authors the injustice, of the present system.
Thank Heaven, the time is now come when
knowledge and right, instead of ignorance and
prejudice, are to bear sway.

Dutch Papers, of the 19th, have been re-
ceived, but they contain no further news respect-
ing the threatened affair at Antwerp. Count
Pozzo DI BORGO is gone to Dresden, and the
interchange of couriers between Berlin, Vienna,
and St. Petersburgh, still continues. The pre-
sent understanding, however, appears to be in
favour of a suspension of hostilities till the
spring, unless some " untoward" event precipi-
tates a war.

German Papers, received this morning, do
not contain any news of importance. The per-
secution of liberal men still continues, and, no
doubt, will continue, till retributive justice take
due vengeance on the offenders :..-
NUILESI/11/11tG, SEPT. 12.—According to reports which
are in circulation, Dr. Oesterreichez, Editor of the Augs-
burg Journal Die Zeit (the Times), has been sentenced
by the Court of Appeal to three years' confinement in the
House of Correction ; Dr. Kurz, Editor of the Tagblatt,
to imprisonment for a year (according to others to six
months), in a fortress. They may petition the King for
mitigation of the sentence, as they may appeal. M.
Strohmeyer, to avoid the imprisonment to which he has
been sentenced, has fled from Mannheim to France.—
Nuremburq Correspondent, Sept. 13.
MuNlcx, SEPT. 10.—Counsellor Thiersch is on his
way home, and will arrive with the Greek Deputation,
which is bow at Trieste. As the accounts which stated
that be was to remain in Greece are unfounded, it is pro-
bable that these journals may be equally mistaken, which
have spoken of the definitive appointment of the Greek
Regency. It is very unlikely that any thing on the sub.
ject will be positively known before the wrival of the De-
putation.

SPIRES, SEPT. 12.—M. Knobel, teacher in the Latin
school at Durkheim, has been evidently removed by the Go-
vernment from his office, which had not been definitively
given him, because he is considered as the author of the pro-
test against the resolutions of the Diet which first appeared
in Rhenish Bavaria; he has no prospect of obtaining any ap-
pointment in Bavaria so long as the preseßt system lasts.
We hear that lie means to emigrate to America.

The primary elections for the assembly of the States was
to take place at Mayence some days ago ; there are in that
city about 4,800 citizens entitled to vote, and to give to
the operation legal force, two thirds of the votes—i. e.,
about 3,200 are required. But the majority of the citizens
of Mayence may be reproached with unpardonable indif-
ference and negligence in this important concern : on the
last day but one not 1,000 had voted, so that four-fifths
of the citizens had neglected to exercise one of their most
important rights.
HEIDELEURG, SErr. 11.--Yesterday evening their
Royal Highnesses, our universally-beloved Grand Duke
and Duchess, unexpectedly honoured this city with a visit.
The news was soon spread, and filled the inhabitants with
joy. This morning the whole town was a scene of un-
usual animation. Their Royal Highnesses received the
public authorities in the most gracious manner, and
visited the beautiful garde❑ of the ruined palm•..
The Grand Duke highly commended the tried fide-

lily and good spirit of the town and the Univer-
sity. In the afternoon, their Royal Highnesses, escorted
by the cavalry of the Civic Guard, returned to Carlsruhe,
where the King of Wurtetnhurg is expected on a visit.
Woems, SEPT. 1 1. --" Words addressed to the Elec-
tors in the Grand Duchy of Hesse," are in circulation
here. There are too many for our spice, and perhaps for
our readers; we will, therefore, give but a few of them.
The main object is a warning 'against the Missionaries of
ultra-liberalism, who are stated to he prowling, about, like
wolves in sheep's clothing, to lead the electors to choose
individuals of their party. We are farther informed, that
Camille, Destnoulins, Danton, and Robespierre were ad-
vocates who had liberty, equality, and the good of the
people in their mouths, but trod them under foot. We
are warned against the return of revolutionary horrors, of
civil wars, and Heaven knows what dangers besides—all
of which, it seems, are to be apprehended from the choice
of ultra-liberal Deputies. These patriotic alarms will
havelittle effect in this province.
FREIBURG, SEPT. iO.-The Zeitgeist (Spirit of the
Age) and the German Universal Gazette give a piece of
news from Freiburg, of which we in Freiburg itself know
nothing. In the late numbers of these papers we find:—
" According to letters from Freiburg, the University is
closed for an indefinite time." The statement is false.
The lectures were indeed suspended at the beginning of
September, as happens every year on account of the vaca-
tion; but they are not closed for an indefinite time, for the
list of the lectures for the next winter half year, which
has just been published, fixes the opening positively for the
sth November. —Freiburg Gazette.
FRANKFORT, SEPT. 14.—The Gazetta de Milano of
the Bth and 9th is still silent about the reported appear-
ance of the cholera in that city. The Duke of Modena had
arrived at Venice.

Some months ago the Polish General Dembinski caused
a declaration to be inserted in the Courier of the Lower
Rhine, in which it is asserted that the Polish Deputation
that went to St Petersburg!' was compelled to that act.
We have received to-day from Warsaw an energetic pro.
test of the members of the Deputation against that asser-
tion, which is positively denied, and declared to be a
flagrant and painful insult to the honour of all the mem-
bers of that Deputation. "If these men," it says, " had
participated in the principles and views of General Dem-
binski, or if they had not abandoned their error, it may
he justly presumed that, waiving all personal considera-
tions, they would have joined the fugitive band of their
countrymen ; or does General Dembinski think that pa-
triotism and a sense of honour have found an asylum in
his bosom alone ?"—Frankfort Papers, Sept. 15.

Some of our Police Magistrates occasionally
take most curious views of questions brought
before them. If we may credit our report of
the proceedings at Marylebone police-office yes-
terday, Mr. HOSKINS exhibited more than a com-
mon share of the peculiarity to which we refer.
A disputed account exists between a son of
Lord DUNDONALD'S and an ex-corporal in the
army. The latter is charged with riotously en-
forcing his demand, and in consequence is taken
before the Magistrate, who, having heard his
story, and Mr. COCHRANE'S denial of any
money being due to him, gravely tells the lat-
ter, that if he wished to prevent the prisoner
becoming clamorous, he had better pay him
what he owed him. The parties leave the office,
but presently Mr. CoCHRANE returns, and
complains that the man has insulted him, when
the Magistrate again dismisses him by telling
him to pay his demand. Any one not
having the mental optics of a police magistrate
would perceive that Mr. Hosk INs's duty was
to preserve the peace between the disputing par-
ties, and not to decide whether the money
claimed by one of them was or was not owing.
As the police force has been improved, we trust
that the police magistracy will not go unre-
formed, or, at any rate, that the system which
considered it merely as patronage will cease.

DEATH OF MR. HORWOOD, SURGEON,
BY THE CHOLERA.—We deeply regret that we have

this week to record the death of 1%1r.-Honweon, surgeon,
who fell a victim to that destructive disease he had been
so instrumental in arresting in others, on Thursday night,
the 6th instant, after an illness of six hours. The de-
ceased was a pupil and friend of the celebrated ABERNETHY,
and in the beginning of his medical career, at once im-
bibed all the philo'ophical principles of art—all the noble-
ness of feeling—and all the vivacity of temper which so
eminently distinguished his great predecessor.—Dorset
Chronicle.

" THE LATE MISS MORDAUNT."--TiliS pe—
culiar mode of announcement in the Drury-lane bills has
caused much discussion ; but, from what we can learn,
it has arisen from a desire on the part of Capt. 1,1 —ISBETT'S
family. There is a precedent, however, for this mode of
announcement, as Mrs. GLOVER came forth, after her
marriage, as .4 the late Miss BETTERTON."

We much regret to observe the ranks of the
Reformers divided in some of the boroughs in this county.
Shrftesbury, Lynne, and Poole, are instances to which we
allude. It is our unalterable determination not to inter-
fere between them; but we earnestly recommend, in each
instance, a speedy and satisfactory arrangement. Let the
lists be fairly and calmly compared, and whichever party
has the advantage, let the other at once give way. The
Tories are still strong ; they will take every advantage of
a division in our camp; it therefore becomes an impera-
tive duty of the Reformers to stand on safe ground.
Should one Reformer lie defeated by another, the weaker
party will be subject to suspicion as to the integrity of
his intentions, and the honesty of his
principles.—Sher-
borne
Journal.

GENERAL LAFAYETTE'S MEMOIRS.-M.
SARRANS confesses in his biography of the venerable
leader of the late Revolution in France (of which important
work an English Translation is just published by Mr.
BENTLEY, New Burlington-street) that he has been guilty
of indiscretion—perhaps of an abuse of confidence, in giving
many of the anecdotes to the world. Certainly, unpub-
lished letters, private thoughts, communications within
closed doors, &c. form the principal part of the present work.

•- -
Hors.—ln consequence of a scanty supply of
the new crop there has been an advance, within the last
two or three days, of 109. to 159. per cwt. New Kent
pockets sell at 61. and 71. 10s. to 71. 155., and Sussex 71.
per cwt. Farnhams are light, and not expected to yield
one-third so much as anticipated. The duty is at
135,000/.

COTTON.—The active state of the Liverpool
Market renders the demand steady here at very firm prices.
NEW WORK BY THE AUTHOR OF " HAJJI
linuA."—ln his new work " Zobrab, the Hostage," Mr.
Moezeß has placed his imagined hero and heroine under
the dominion of the actual and famous AGA AIOIIA3IED
Snarl, so famous for his wars, his wisdom, and his cruelty.
While perusing the volumes we have been living in Persia,
and partaking in all the vicisitudes so well conceived, and
so admirably related, to exhibit the condition of its d•s-
potic government and curious people, who have been called
the Frenchmen of the East.
