ROCHDALE ADDRESS.

VIENNA, Om 30.—0 n November 6, their Majesties
are expected to return from Schonbrunn to Vienna.
Yesterday, on the arrival of a commercial express from
Paris, a sudden panic ensued, and the funds experienced a
great decline. Bank Shares, for instance, from 1120 to
1088. This fall was caused by the report that the French
army had entered B'lgium, and the fear that this would
lead to a general war. It was also reported that pro-
posals for a new loan would be made by our Government.
To-day, however, more pacific news has been received, and
the funds have recovered, Bank Shares being noted to-
wards the close at 1127.

Six lighters with provisions and troops arrived at the
citadel yesterday, and left it empty during the day ; when
they came to the Dutch ships stationed off the Pyp Tabac,
they were sent back to the citadel, where they now are.
Another Dutch man of war has joined those at the Pyp
Tabac.—Brussels Papers, Nov. 10.
ANTWERP, Nov. 9.—The Burgomaster has this morn-
ing issued a proclamation to the citizens, reminding them
of the measures resolved upon by France and England,
and also of the statement of the intention of the Govern-
ment (inserted in the Moniteur Belge), to avoid every-
thing that might give the enemy a pretext for insulting
the innocent population.
The proclamation adds, that as the solicitude of the Go-
vernment cannot afford the citizens complete security, the
magistrates have taken every possible precaution, and ex-
pect that the citizens, on their part, will take such precau-
tions as their respective situations call for. This warning
is not meant to alarm the citizens. It is not yet certain
that the first measures of coercion against Holland will fail
of success.

The following address has been forwarded from Roch-
dale, in Lancashire, to the Duke of Wellington, requesting
that it miy be presented through the medium of his Grac,
to the King :-
44 TO THE KING'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY,

" We, the undersigned bankers, merchants, and others,
inhabitants of the borough of Rochdale, humbly approach
your Majesty with an assurance of our fidelity and attach-
ment to your Royal person.
" Prompted, we would hope, by no other feelings than
the honour and welfare of our country, we cannot but view
with alarm, and even dismay, the preparations now making
of a warlike nature, which are openly avowed, and for a
purpose, we humbly conceive, alike detrimental to our in-
terests, dishonourable to our nation, and wicked and un-
called for in the eyes of every well-wisher to the rights of
justice and humanity.
" War, at all times, and under all aspects, is to be de-
plored, even when necessary as a protection to our na-
tional interests, and as a defence against the insults and
aggressions of our enemies ; but bow much more deeply is
that conflict to be feared when it becomes a war, not for
our ow© safety or defence, but one of coercion against an
old ally, of aid to French interests and French aggression,
of ruin to our continental trade, and a barrier of the most
important inlet throughout the continent of Europe against
our manufactures—the pivot of our prosperity as a nation,
and on the promotion and encouragement of which de-
pends our very existence as a flee and united people.
" Humbly conceiving that we ought to fear more the
aggressive disposition of the French than of the Dutch ar-
mies, we are the more surprised that your Majesty's Mi-
nisters should have determined on a measure so frought
with injustice, and PO directly in aid of French conquest
and French aggrandizement, while we c innot but view
with unmixed apprehension this opening into Belgium as
only the letting loose again of their licentious and revolu-
tionary legions to devastate the continent, until in their
turn again scourged back by the united efforts of an out-
raged people.
" If there be a case where the system of non-interven-
tion, so often avowed by your Majesty's advisers, should
be strictly adhered to, it is that, we should most humbly
urge, which relates to the settlement of the Dutch and
Belgian claims; but if intervention be allowed, should it

Letters from Constantinople of the 10th contain nothing
very important, but it was generally reported that Mehethet
Ali had entered into preliminary negotiations with the
Capitan Pacha, which might lead to some result. Ibrahim
bad levied 30,000 recruits in Syria, whose organization is
said to have made considerable progress; he was not, how-
ever, advanced any farther, but is still beyond Mount
Taurus.

The armaments at Constantinople continue. The plague
had considerably abated.

DUTCH PAPERS.

BRUSSELS AND ANTWERP PAPERS,

THE Haaux, Nov. B.—A courier from St. Peters_
burgh arrived here last night, said to he on his way to
London, with the answer of the Emperor respecting the
proposed measure of coercion to be executed by France and
England against Holland. His despatches, which are said
to be not unfavourable to Holland, were discussed in a
Cabinet Council yesterday.
The opinion, that by a timely arrangement all acts of
hostility that might lead to a general war may be pre-
vented, prevails among many persons here; and the Con-
vention proposed by Prussia is considered as well calcu-
lated to attain this object.
BREDA, Nov. 6.—A line of telegraphs has been esta-
blished from the extreme point of ,the island of Waldewer
to the citadel of Antwerp.
Both at Flushing and in the fourth and fifth districts,
extreme vigilance is employed. The works of defence are
continually extended, and all that is necessary for inundat-
ing those districts is ready.
AMSTERDAM, Nov. 9.—We learn that a letter, dated
Wesel, 7th November, has been received here,:,which is
said to contain the following passage :
" Last night news was brought by estafette to the
Commandant, M. Montoud, that within three days the
17th Regiment, with the cavalry and artillery, must have
passed the Rhine at this place, and that all the other re-
giments must have passed it before the 16th ; and also
that the Landwebr must hold itself in readiness. The
troops are to cross the Rhine at Cologne, Dusseldorf, and
Wesel. We are all in a bustle here to lay in hay, oats,
and meal. Rye and oats have already risen in price. God
grant that the King of Holland may prove victorious. Let
us not lose courage; all may turn out well. The Prussians
are full of ardour; especially the young officers."
HAGUE, Nov. S.—A Russian courier, who has brought
news of the safe delivery of the Empress of Russia of a
son, is supposed to have important despatches for the Rus-
sian Legation in London, for which place he has already
set out. They probably contain the answer respecting the
coercive measures for enforcing the treaty of the 15th of
November.

Baussims, Nov, 7.—General Desprez left this city
yesterday afternoon, to return to Louvain.
M. Ludlow, Secretary to Baron Stockmar, who arrived
at Brussels the day before yesterday express from London,
set out again for that city yesterday afternoon.
VALENCIENNES, Nov. 5.—A telegraphic despatch from
Lille announces to Marshal Gerard the formal refusal of
the King of Holland to agree to the last proposals made
to him. Orders have accordingly been given to prosecute
with increased activity the preparations already commenced
for the siege of the citadel of Antwerp. A great quantity
of shells, of heavy artillery, &c. is embarked in boats.
Two companies of the 12th Regiment of the Line were
placed on Sunday under the orders of Colonel Morlet, of
the Engineers, to prepare fascines, gabions, &c.
ANTWERP, Nov. 6.—Eight lighters, laden irith bay,
straw, and provisions, arrived at the citadel yesterday.
Last night, at eleven o'clock, the Dutch again threw up
sky rockets ; this they continued for above an hour.
The vessel called the Citadelle Van Antwerpen left the
citadel yesterday with troops.

not, we again most humbly submit, be directed to prevent
the interference of any other Power in the quarrel, and
strictly to confine each nation to her own boundaries?

BRUSSELS, Nov. 7.—The Courrier contains the follow-
ing postscript:—" We have received from Holland, by
way of Antwerp, the intelligence that the Dutch Govern-

" Praying that your Majesty would withhold your con-
sent to the present rrro,t dishonourable coalition with
France, and to an attack, where not only defeat would be
disaster, but even victory a disgrace, we repeat our ex-
pression of attachment to your Majesty's person, an assur-
ance of our fidelity to the Constitution under which we
live, and praying that your Majesty may long reign over a
free and united people•"
We understand that an answer has been received from
the Duke of Wellington, intimating that he has taken
means to have the address immediately presented.

ment has ordered the ships of the Royal Navy not to put
to sea. The French and English legation were to quit the
Hague on Thursday the Bth.
" In Holland they are sure of the protest of the Three
Northern Powers against the Anglo-French intervention.
It is said that th.., protest will be immediately published in
the official Journals of the Hague."
A letter from Aix-la-Chapelle, which we (Le Lynx)
have reason to believe is worthy of credit, informs us that
orders had just been received at Coblentz, by Lieutenant-
General Von Borstell, Commander-in-• Chief of the troops
stationed in the Rhenish Provinces and Westphalia, im-
mediately to put in motion the troops of the line and the
Landwehr, and to make them approach the French and
Belgian frontiers. The total number of these troops
amounts to 160,000 men, perfectly well exercised, and
with an immense materiel.

The Staats General have been engaged in hearing re
ports on petitions.
DUTCH FUNDS.—AMSTERDAM, Nov. 9.

GHENT, Nov. 6.—Seventeen Carmelites coming from
Italy are expected here in a few days, as we understand,
to establish a convent. They came from Italy, and are
already at Yres, where there is a Convent of their order.
This is a superb vanguard for the French army, entirely
worthy of the expedition.—Brussels Papers, Nov. 8.
BRUSSELS, Nov. B.—The King will open the Cham-
bers in person on Tuesday next, the 13th inst. The
Queen will be present at the ceremony.
General Gorshals yesterday reviewed the garrison of
Brussels.

ADVANTAGE OF A BAD MEMORY.—At a
recent Court in this county, a man was indicted for embez-
zlement, and the advocate for the priscner took an objec-
tion to the indictment. He contended that it was invalid,
because the names of the persons from whom the money
had been received were not specified. In support of his
view, he stated that Mr. Justice PARKE, one of the best
lawyers in the kingdom, was of opinion, in a recent case
(the King v. Beacle), that it was absolutely necessary to
state the names of the persons from whom the money was
received. No report of this case could be found in Court :
the advocate for the prosecution said his impression was
that Mr. Justice PARKE was of a different opinion : but
so confident was the Counsel for the prisoner, that the
Court attended to his view, and directed the offender to
he acquitted. After the Counsel on each side had left the
Court, a copy of Chitty's Burn's Justice was handed to the
Chairman, and there the case referred to was found, in
which it was distinctly held that it was NOT necessary to
specify the names of the payers.—Lincoln Mercury.

The Phare (of Antwerp) contains the following
PROCLAMATION :

" The Colonel commanding this place hastens to inform
his fellow-citizens inhabiting the city and di,trict of Ant-
werp, that the King of Holland, having refused to evacuate
those parts of our territory which are occupied by his
troops, coercive measures to oblige him to do so will be
very shortly employed by the Governments of France and
England.
" If on the 15th the first demonstrations directed against
the commerce of Holland should not have produced any
result, force will be employed.

" This citadel being one of the principal points against
which tLe first attacks may be directed, the Government
will take the measures which are in its power to deprive
the enemy of every pretext for throwing the evils of war
on the inoffensive population.
" But not being able to answer for the resistance which
will be made by an enemy little scrupulous in the choice
of his means, the inhabitants of the city and district are
recomm ended to take such precautions as the nature of the
circumstances for the safety of their persons and property
may demand. " BUZEN.
" Antwerp, Nov. 7, 1832."
Yesterday, at 1 o'clock, the King left Brussels to in-
spect a battery of artillery at Waterloo.
The Secretary of the French Legation set out at 2 o'clock
this morning on a mission to Paris.
Four estafettes were despatched yesterday from Brussels
to Valenciennes. Eight estafettes, all from France,
passed the relay at Hals yesterday evening, on their way
to Brussels.

LIFE IN INDIA.—" We strongly recommend
The East India Sketch Book ' to all who wish to learn
the exact state of society in our Indian Empire—all who wish
to learn the chances of that life, the nature of the services ex-
acted from officials, civil or military, and the value of the re-
wards received. The present work fills up a gap left by
MUNDY and SKINNER, and only attempted i❑ some other
books, to which it is hardly worth referring, There is
much real life in these sketches ; the writer has seen a
great deal, and suffered, we apprehend, not a little. The
two objects of amusement and instruction are well com-
bined ; and the whole execution of the work confirms an
opinion we have often expressed—that the quantity of
talent of a literary kind now being developed in our Orien-
tal countries, is very great, and reflects no small credit
upon those who have had the selection of individuals, or
the regulation of the circumstances that have called it
forth."—Spectator.

We learn that the English Consul at Antwerp has sent
all his family to Ma

On the sth, a French courier arrived at Courtray with
orders to prepare provisions for the French army by the
12th.

INFANT LABOUR.—A certain eccentric Tory
Member, who, till he obtained a seat in the present Parlia-
ment, had never made his appearance in society, dined last
year in company with SADLER, and several other political
personages, at the mansion of Sir ROBERT PEEL. After
dinner, as the gentlemen were drinking coffee in the fine
picture gallery of the Ex-Minister, a conversation took
place between SADLER and Sir ROBERT on the subject of
the Bill for the Regulation of Infant Labour. Mr. —,
who was standing near, occasionally joining in the discus-
sion, while he contemplated LAWRENCE'S exquisite picture
of the infant daughter of his host (considering, perhaps,
that the B ironet was lukewarm towards the interests of
the manufacturing classes), suddenly slapped him on the
back, and exclaimed, while he pointed to the portrait of
little Miss PEEL, " Ah, Sir Robert ! that little darling
might have been slaving in the factory, you know ; 'twas
a narrow escape." The amazement of his disconcerted
auditors may be easily conceived.— Tait's Magazine.

BRUSSELS, Nov. 9.—The Government has received, i❑
reply to the notification of the mart iage of the King with
the Princess of Orleans, the answer of the Emperor of
Austria, the Kings of Prussia, Sardinia, Denmark, and
the Grand Duke of Hesse Darmstadt.

A waggon, drawn by six horses, containing money be-
longing to the Treasury, arrived yesterday from Antwerp.
The Union confirms the statement of the Brussels Cor-
respondent of the Paris Journal, announcing that General
Chasse had written a note to Colonel Buzen, declaring
that he should direct all his artillery agains t Antwerp, if
a French flag should appear near the citadel ; but the
.Ifentoritri says, that no such communication has been
made by General Chasse to Col. Buzen.
The Independent has the following article from Ant-
werp of the 7th :—" A bundle of the Messager de
Gand, intended for Holland, was seized at the house of
M. Hens, at Wits Wive!. This packet was addressed to
M. H. Van der Vliet, who, instead of receiving a parcel
of newspapers, has received, by order of Col. Buzen, a
garrison of ten men in his house, where they will live at
free quarters till further orders."

EXECUTION.—This day (Wednesday)
GEORGE DOFFY, convicted at the late Circuit Court of
the murder of his wife, was executed in front of the gaol.
This was one of the most atrocious and disgusting mur-
ders perpetrated in this part of the country, and seems to
have been equalled only by the fiendlike atrocities of the
Gilmerton carters, executed some years ago in Edinburgh.
DOTTY, as the tragical conclusion of a long series of brutal
treatment towards his wife, with a barbarity that makes
the heart shudder, placed her upon the fire in his own
house, and roasted her in such a horrific manner as to
cause eventually her death in the Royal Infirmary, whither
the unfortunate woman was removed after the assault.
For a long time previous to the murder DOFFY had been
in the constant habit of maltreating his wife, by striking,
kicking, tearing her hair, and other similar outrages, too
frequently perpetrated by husbands who are the slaves, as
he had become, of drunkenness and debauchery. Since his
condemnation DOTTY was sedulously attended by the Ro-
man Catholic clergy of the city. He continued during
his confinement to deny having committed the barbarous
deed for which he suffered, alleging that his wife had fallen
into the fire in a state of intoxication ; but he fully con-
fessed his ill usage towards her, and admitted that that
might have been remotely the cause of her death. At 2 to-
day he was brought from his cell to his scaffold, attended
by two Roman Catholic clergymen. He appeared very
firm, and died after a few severe struggles. DOTTY was
about 45, rather under the middle stature, had a for-
bidding aspect, and a peculiar conformation of head ; his
forehead being unusually flat, and the back part protu-
berating largely. He was au Irishman, born near Lon-
donderry, and came to Scotland 16 years ago, when he
was married to his unfortunate wife, also a native of Ire-
land. He went to sea, and was on board a man-of-war
seven years..— Glasgow Chronicle.

It appears from a report made to our Staff, that a great
number of emissaries with pigeons have been sent from
Holland to the principal towns of the department of the
North. By this means the entrance of the French into
Belgium may be known in Holland and in the citadel of
Antwerp within one hour after it has taken place.
ANTwEar, Nov. 7.—We learn that it was unani-
mously resolved, in a meeting of the Magistrates of this
city yesterday evening, immediately to draw up an address
to the King, petitioning his Majesty to save the Consti-
tution from the violation with which it is threatened at
Antwerp, and to take the measures which justice and law
claim in favour of 72,000 inhabitants, who are with-
drawn by the military authorities from their natural
judges, and placed under the jurisdiction of the Council
of War.

The address was voted, composed, approved, and for-
warded in the same sitting.

The affair was pressing ; within forty-eight hours from
this time, our fellow-citizens, Messrs. Vanderschuck and
Dodd, may be brought before a Court-martial, deprived of
all the legal securities of individual liberty, and, in case of
condemnation, be executed in twenty-four hours.
ANTWERP, Nov. S.—The trial of Messrs. Vander-
schuck and Dodd, which has not been postponed as their
Counsel required, seems fixed for the 12th, unless before
that time justice is done to the Constitution. To-day all
the inhabitants are preparing to withdraw with their most
valuable property; the emigratio❑ has commenced, and
the places in all the conveyances from this city have been
engaged ever since yesterday evening.
In the entrenched part of the city near the basins, some

COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.

On Saturday night Mrs. INCHBALD'S comedy of Every
One has his Fault was revived at this theatre, and in-
cluded in the cast the whole strength of the company.
One of the chief attractions was the appearance of Mr.
BLANCHARD for the first time since his arrival from Ame-
rica, in the part of Solos. Mr. BLANCHARD has im.
proved much in personal appearance since his departure,
and infused into the character of Solos all that quaintness
of humour and peculiarity for which he has been for many
years so distinguished a favourite of the public. He was
very warmly rec ived by the audience. Mr. JONES played
the part of the gay and fickle Sir Robert Ramble with
his accustomed excellence. Mr. BARTLEY is admirably
well suited for such a part as that of the good-natured Mr.
Harmony. Miss ELLEN TREE, as Lady Eleanor, showed
that she is the cleverest actress on the stage. The suspi
cious surprise she manifested when her husband exhibits
the pocket-book and notes which he has stolen—the auh-
sequent struggle between a feeling of honour and a desire
to secure the corpus dilecti when it is shown to her by
Edward, as a means of saving her unfortunate husband,
were acted with truth and energetic feeling. Miss POOLE,
as Edward, playe I very cleverly, and was much applauded.
The Marriage of Figaro, substituted for AUBER'S Fra
Diavolo, was played as the second piece.
