LONDON,
MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 15, 1832.

Prince TALLEYRAND arrived in town last
night, after a very boisterous passage from
Calais to Ramsgate, the vessel not having been
able to reach Dover. It is understood that he
brings assurances from the new Cabinet of
the Tuilleries of its desire to draw closer and
closer the ties of alliance between Great Bri-
tain and France. It is probable that the ar-
rival of the Prince will hasten the decision on
the Belgian question. A change at the Em-
bassy will take place in consequence of ar-
rangements made in Paris by Prince TALLEY-
RAND. M. TILLIER, the First Secretary of
Legation, a gentleman of high talents, and
who is much esteemed in the diplomatic circles
here, proceeds to Amsterdam as Consul-Ge-
neral of France, and is to be succeeded here
by M. BARCOURT, who is at present the Se-
cond Secretary of Legation.

There are no arrivals yet at the Admiralty or
the Foreign-office from Oporto, although the
Pantaloon has been expected nearly a week.
The non-arrival of news, however, is proof that
up to the sth os Gth instant the Miguelites
could not have renewed the attack on Oporto
with success, for if the boisterous state of the
weather had prevented the transmission of such
news by sea, the Miguelites would have taken
care that it should reach us by laud.

The statement of an evening contemporary of
Saturday, that a British fleet had been ordered
to proceed to the Scheldt, is incorrect. Orders
have been given for the fleet to assemble at Spit-
head, and to hold itself in readiness for imme-
diate service ; but we repeat, that no order has
yet been given for the commencement of coercive
measures against the Dutch.

Despatches have been received by the Belgian
Minister, M. VAN DE WEYER, from Brussels,
dated Friday. We understand that they con-
tain no fact of interest to the public. A private
letter states that a great deal of ferment prevailed,
and that M. GENDEBIEN was to make his
entry into Brussels on Friday, on which
occasion an immense concourse of people

would assemble. There was, however, no ay'
prehension of outrage.

Considerable surprise has been expressed by
some of the friends of the Constitutional cause
in Portugal that the meeting which was an'
uounced to take place under the auspices of the
Duke of SUSSEX, for the purpose of considering
the propriety of opening a subscription in behalf
of the surviving relatives of those of our coup'
trymen who may fall in the struggle, or be e°
wounded as to be incapable of further service,
has not been held.

As the attempt to preserve England from Or
by concessions to the Holy Alliance, prevents 4
revocation of that odious Act by which heaTi
penalties are awarded to those who take arms is
the cause of liberty abroad, it is, we think,
highly essential, if we desire to aid that cause et
all, to take some step which would facilitate the
raising of recruits here for the service of the
Queen of Portugal, in defiance of the Act t°
which we allude. There are thousands wh°
would gladly enter that service without the 11081
inducements in the way of bounty, if they could
insure, in the event of their fall, a slight provision
for those who are dependent on them in life for
support, or be certain of receiving aid in the
event of incapacity for labour arising from
wounds. But whether such an assurance would
increase the force of Don PEDRO or not.'
whether it is necessary in the present state of the
contest, with enthusiastic young men rushing t°
his standard from all parts, to hold out such in'
ducements, ought not to be so great a considers'
tion as whether the English nation, valuing, ns
it does, the cause of freedom all over the world,
should not, for the credit of that cause, make s
pecuniary sacrifice in behalf of those by whot°)
it is defended and upheld.
It is a common trick here with the Tories,
when they find that they cannot serve the Usurper
of Portugal by declamations against freedom, In,
raise suspicions of the Emperor Don PEDRO
and represent the contest, not as an effort to destrol
tyranny and erect a constitution in its stead, hill
as a mere struggle for power between two men'
neither of whom has the interests of the Portuguese
nation at heart. Unfounded as are the statements
which they use to enforce this delusion—base es:
the principles upon which they proceed must on
investigation be shown to be, they have really had
i
some success in this mode of proceeding, and
unless men open their eyes more to the motives
of these advocates of despotism, it may produce
results at which the nation would grieve.
Without undertaking the defence of Don
PEDRo as an individual, we may remind the
public that he is merely the agent of the Porto'
guere Constitutionalists, and that he possesses 11°,'
power to deprive them of a single benefit which!
the Constitution has decreed. Were he in head
as great a tyrant as Don MIGUEL, he woul
still, as the chief of the brave strugglers fnt
freedom, be entitled to our support; but let n3l
inquire what he has done since the comment`
ment of the struggle to warrant a suspicion 0'
he wants only the opportunity to be a tyrant, O
become as much so as the monster MIGVJ
Has he shown his attachment to despotism le,
the choice of his Ministers ? Would he, if he,
had designed to make the enthusiasm of the Jo?'
Portuguese for freedom the stepping stone t°
absolute power, have surrounded himself with !
men over whose principles he never could hors
to triumph, and without whom he could never
become an absolute King, or make his aught°
an absolute Queen ? Would he, if an ahsolot,
throne had been the object of his exertions, h%
abolished the infamous system of tithes, hi
which the despot MIGUEL has maintained hie
self, and by which all other despots are 00.:
tained ? Would he have put an end to those
restrictions on commerce which are found ?i
useful to tyrants in keeping down the spirit d
an influential class of men ? Neither of these
things would Don PEDRO have done if hise
object had been personal aggrandizement at 11'
expense of public liberty. Let us, therefore,rjec
the same justice to him as all men deserve, I°.
judge him, not by the representations of
of
enemies, but by the character and tendenei
his acts.

German Papers received this morning give
some additional particulars of the recent del°

The plague is more destructive than at any other time
since 1812, and as it is spreading among the Turkish po-
pulation and the troops, rigoroas measures are adopted, as
those hitherto taken had proved unavailing, so that the
infection has reached Adrianople, where there have been
several cases. The cholera is said to be very destructive
in Syria.—Allgemeine Zeitung, Oct. 8.

Dutch and Brussels Papers of Saturday last
have been received, up to which period every
thing remained quiet. This day the King of
HOLLAND opens the Session of the States
General, on which occasion he will make a
speech respecting the present posture of affairs.
We may expect by Wednesday to learn his IVA-
JESTY'S' sentiments on the question of peace or
war, for he must have made up his mind what
course to pursue after having learnt the determi-
nation of France and England, which would,
no doubt, have reached the Hague on Saturday
or yesterday :
Tim HAGUE, OCT. 11.--Her Royal Highness the
Princess of Orange arrived here from Soelsdyk the even-
ing before yesterday. The Prince of Orange is expected
in a few days.
We learn from Bois-le-Duc that the head-quarters of
the army will be transferred to that place from Telburg in
the course of next week.
The Session of the States-General is to be opened on
Monday next.
BOIS-LE-DUC, OCT. 10.—Major Hoyel, Commander
of the Head-quarters of the Prince Field-marshal, has
been here, to make arrangements for transferring the
bead-quarters hither. The time does not seem to he fixed,
but t) depend on circumstances. The granting of fur-
loughs to many officers seems, however, to indicate that
the renewal of hostilities is not expected.
THE HAGUE, OCT. 12.—The Journal de la "'aye
contains the following article
(Private Correspondence of the Journal de la Haye.)
PARIS, . Very important despatches were received OCT
yes 8.
terday
from Vienna ; they came just at the right moment
to add
to the embarrassments of our present situation. Marshal
Alaison, our Ambassador, gives an account of a
very important conference which he bad with Prince Met-
ternich ; the latter declared in the most positive manner
that it was impossible a military intervention could take
place by one of the Great Powers between Holland and
Belgium. It is for these two states to terminate their
differences by themselves ; they can claim no assistance be-
yond advice.
This communication of Prince Metternich coincides
with the resolution that the London Conference has just
taken, and demonstrates in the most irrefragable manner
that Leopold has nothing to do but to resign himself.
The Dutch papers contain Lord Palmerston's project of
a treaty, and the answer of the Dutch Ambassador.

with the necessary instructions to treat with the Cabinet
of Louis Philip, on the termination of our affairs. His
intentions are said to be very urgent.

We made some remarks a few days back upon
the extraordinary nature of the liberal principles
professed by Captain MArinyATT, the new can-
didate for the Tower Hamlets. The kind of
People who support him, and the means they
take to advance his cause, afford us a further
illustration of the meaning he attaches to the
Word " liberal." The Morning Advertiser of
to-day, speaking of some improper. influence ,
which has been brought into play m the new
borough, says, " It is for Captain MARRYATT
that the influence has been used, and it is in the
London Dock—upon the officers, clerks, ware-
housemen, &c. that it is exercised ! We shall
het, for the present, name the offending parties,
tit the hope that they mar turn from the evil of
their ways,
and and allow all under their authority
hdluence to exercise their votes in an inde-
Pe"ent manner ; but we tell them plainly that
we are in possession of their names, and that, if
t amine hey
do notm mend their wars ' we shall, by
which°the ir
th, expose them to that opprobrium
e conduct so amply deserves." The
parties are youno,
offenders, and we trust not
sufficiently ealloubs to bear the scorn of their
tenor
citizens ; but should they not, as our con-
werry expresses it, " mend their ways,''
hope he will redeem his pledge, and make an
exarnple of them.
Who ever heard, when the trade in corn was
free, which it virtually was before 1815, of our
ittiporting provisions from India ? No one,

grain, chiefly rice, did come in from that part
the world. Now, however, with so just a
iretribution are all acts of injustice visited, the

tation made by the same house, Acrainan and Stitt, within
the last eighteen months.' It is stated that an English
house has lately erected steam-mills on the Ganges, which
grind 400 tons of grain per day."
Verily, the protective system works in a strange
manner; but the landholders of England do not
yet seem to have had enough of it, for we ob-
serve that many of the county candidates reckon
upon the prevalence of sufficient ignorance to
make it a good topic in their addresses. We
suppose that the landowners imagine they must
be gainers to the amount uf the suffering they
see the corn laws inflict upon the manufacturers,
and every other class of the community ; but they
will in time (if it be given them) find out their
mistake, and, strange as it may sound, confess
that they also suffer by the operation of the corn
laws. The gradual increase in the importation
of corn from a sixtieth part of our consumption
to about a tenth, has not brought conviction to
their minds. Let them wait a little more and
their " protection" will cause an importation of
an eighth of our consumption.
