HAMBURG PAPERS.

BERLIN, Nov. 10.—The Courts of London and
Paris have found it suitable to their interests to
carry into effect the treaty of 15th November last
year, with respect to the division of territory, stipu-
lated in it, between Holland and Belgium, by the
declaration addressed to both Governments, that
each of those Governments is to evacuate, by the
12th inst., the places and positions of territory
which, according to that treaty, are not to remain in
their possession ; and that, in case of refusal, com-
pliance with this demand shall be obtained from the
King of the Netherlands by military measures. His
Majesty the King, conformably to the declaration
which he has made on every occasion, and in con-
cert with Austria and Russia, has caused notice to
be given to the Governments of England and
France, that he must refuse to their coercive mea-
sures, not only all kiud of co-operation, but also his
assent; and that, on the contrary, he has resolved
to place a corps of observation on the Maese, in
order to be ready, on the entrance of a French army
into Belgium, to avert the eventual consequences
which the intended military operations might have
with respect to the tranquillity of Germany, and of
his Majesty's dominions, and to the general peace.
His Majesty has accordingly issued the necessary
orders to the corps of the army stationed in the
Rhenish provinces and Westphalia, and the said
corps of observation will be immediately posted
in the manner before stated.—Prussian State Ga-
zette, Nov. 11.

BERLIN, Nov. 11.—The Westphalian Mercury
has the following article :
" MUNSTER, Nov. 6.—Last night an express ar-
rived here from his Excellency General Baron Von
Muffling, with his Majesty's commands that the 7th
corps of the army should, conformably to the exist-
ing regulations, be completed to the full comple-
ment in time of war, and hold itself in readiness to
march. In consequence of this order the necessary
measures have been taken for again calling in the
reserve. The order for calling out the landwehr has
riot yet been given."—Prussian State Gazette,

CUXHAVEN, Nov. 7.—Yesterday, with a steady
wind, we had fine frosty weather; the ships bound
for ports lying to the south and west took advantage
of it to put to sea, arid will probably have a quick
and happy passage. Those bound to northern ports
are still here.

Large quantities of oats are bought to be sent

The Hanover schooner, from Leith, for Ham-

29 passengers belonging to the suite of Charles
X., and a great quantity of effects.
(FROM A LETTER.)
BERLIN, Nov. 10.—It ;you'd be a great mistake
to suppose that Prussia is resolved to maintain
peace at any rate. It is generally believed here
that if an attack by the French on Antwerp, not on
Holland, should be allowed by Prussia, it would be
only on the condition that Prussia should at the
same time occupy those parts of the Dutch territory
which are now in the possession of Belgium.
Austria, Prussia, and Russia could gain but little
by a war on account of Belgium and Holland.
France and England would gain as little. The
issue of a war is doubtful; the force which the op-
posite party has at his command is so well known
that each can see what he has to venture. In fact,
no party has any wish but to see the Dutch ques-
tion settled as soon as possible. Russia has made
too many sacrifices in the wars with Turkey and
Poland not to desire repose. Prussia and Austria
were satisfied with the extent of their dominions
before the French revolution, and the character of
their Sovereigns is a pledge that they do not aim at
conquests. If goodwill is not wanting every thing may
be settled amicably. But as soon as one of the
parties desire war the next moment will furnish
matter enough to begin the contest. If, for in-
stance, the party in France should prevail which
considers the Rhine as French property, then,
though the Belgium question may have long been
ended, the contest between Don Pedro and Don
Miguel long since decided, some subject of dispute
will easily be found, and war will be as certain as
peace is, under existing circumstances.
Our Staatschuldscheine have, indeed, experienced,
to-day, a pretty considerable fall, evidently in conse-
quence of the military movements on our western
frontier, announced in the State Gazette this morn-
ing. It is, however, to be observed, that while it
is expressly declared in the article in question, that
our Government has refused its assent or co-opera-
tion to the coercive measures to be adopted by Eng-
land and France, the entrance of a French army into
Belgium is spoken of, but which is by no means to
be considered as a measure of coercion. Such a
measure would be the announced military epera-
tion'against Antwerp; which again might be avert-
ed by the long delayed compliance of the King of
Holland —Hamburg Papers, Nov. 14.

The following notice was this morning posted up
in the Borsen•Halle :—" As a matter of precaution,
the undersigned, Agent of Lloyd's, begs leave to
recommend to Masters of English vessels bound
from this port, to wait at Cuxhaven the arrival of
the next steam-vessel from London, by which in-
formation will probably be received as to the ar-
rangements made for the protection of vessels from
the Elbe; and the -Masters of any vessels sailing
previously are requested to stand out to sea, and
till further information avoid the Dutch coast as

DISTRESSING ROBBERY.---OR Thursday
last a middle-aged female, named ELIZABETH AYLING, in
the service of Mr. BEST, a Magistrate at Maidstone, caffle
to London, with the hard-earned savings of her life in her
pocket, consisting of three 101. Bank of England notes
and six sovereigns. She got on the Branch Coach, at
the Blossom Inn, in the Borough, for the purpose of being
set down at Charing-Bross, having at that time her
money quite safe. When she alighted she found, to her
great dismay, that her gown and pocket had been cut
through, and all her money gone. This robnery had been
effected in consequence of her having placed herself on the
hoot behind, by which means, it became easy for one of
those villains who are constantly on the watch for such
opportunities, and who infest the Borough, and the avenues
to London, in that direction, to get up behind the coach,
and to cut her garments unperceived. Her distress
was greatly augmented at being unable to tell the ❑um-
her of the notes; and, though information of the robbery
was given at the Marlborough-street Police Office, it is
very unlikely the thief will be discovered, or the pro-
perty regained.

GRAND REFORM FESTIVAL at LINCOLN.

(Abridged from Drakard's Stamford News.)

On Thursday, the Bth inst , about 200 gentlemen
sat down to a most sumptuous dinner, provided by
Mr. Squire, in the grand banquet-room of the City
Arms Hotel, Lincoln, in celebration of the passing
of the glorious and ever-memorable Reform Bill.
The Right Houourable Lord Yarborough presided,
supported on the right by Sir W. A. Ingilby, Bart.,
M.P., the Right Honourable Charles Tennyson,
M.P., and Benjamin Handley, Esq., the popular
candidate for Boston and on the left by G. F.
Heneage, Esq., M.P., Henry Handley, Esq., can-
didate for the south division of the county, &c. Sir
Montague Cholineley, M.P., officiated as Vice-Pre-
sident, and was supported on the right by the Ho-
nourable C. A. W. Pelham, M.P.; and on the left
by Edward Heneage, Eq.
Letters of apology were read from Messrs. An-
derson, Tunnard, J. Wilks, and E. L. Bulwer.
The PRESIDENT gave " The King," three times
three. His Lordship added, with considerable energy,
"and God bless him." The toast was drunk with
much enthusiasm. " The Queen." " The Duke of
Sussex and the rest of the Royal Family," were the
next toasts proposed by the President.
The PRESIDENT rose, and was received with three
times three cheers. His Lordship spoke as fol-
lows :—Gentlemen, we have this day assembled for
the purpose of celebrating the glorious and ever-
memorable passing of the Reform Bill.—(Hear,
hear.) Gentlemen, when I first entered into poli-
tical life, which was on the eve of my coming of
age, I was returned for the borough of Grimsby; L
well remember my father saying to me, " I am glad
you have been returned for Grimsby, but I might
have returned you for some one of those rotten bo-
roughs in Cornwall or Devonshire, if I had been so
inclined. You are young and inexperienced; do as
you think proper, but let me entreat you to vote for
Parliamentary Reform :" and, Gentlemen, I did so.
A Right Honourable Gentleman who is present
at this table (the Right Honourable Charles Ten-
nyson), some very few years since brought in a
Bill to disfranchise the borough of East Retford, on
account of its notorious corruption.—(Hear, hear.)
The Bill of the Right Honourable Gentleman had
for its object the transfer of the elective franchise
from the corrupt borough of Retford, to the large
and populous town of Birmingham. This Bill was
ri, gatived ; and we are all aware that the throwing
out of this Bill tended considerably to stimulate the
exertions, and to fix the determination of the
people on the subject of Reform.—(Hear, hear, and
cheers.) About this period I well remember a
Noble Duke (Wellington) stating, upon a petition
being presented from a county meeting," I care not
for counties; I hold a county meeting to be a farce."
(Hear, hear, and cries of "So he did.") Why,
Gentlemen, you know as well as I do, that these
words spread through the United Kingdom like
wildfire. The minds of men became more and
more intensely fixed upon the measure,—petitions
praying for Reform, were sent up from every quarter,
—meeting after meeting took place, and every suc-
ceeding one was more numerously attended; and I
feel satisfied that the Noble Duke soon became con-
vinced that county meetings were of more serious
consequence than he anticipated.—(Cheers, and
hear, hear.) Things were in this state when the
same Noble Duke thought proper to express him-
self on the subject in a manner which, in my opinion,
aided, almost more than anything else, in bringing
this que-tion to an issue. I mean the assertion that
" no Reform was necessary."—(Hear, hear, and
True, true.) What was the consequence ? It at once
fixed the determination of the people of England,
and their reply was, " Reform is necessary, and Re-
form we will have."—(lmmense cheering.) The
Noble Duke became unpopular, Ministers were
outvoted, and his Majesty sent for Earl Grey. Lord
Grey took office, and immediately brought in a Bill
which was hailed by the people with delight. Gen-
tlemen, it came into our house (the Lords); there
I regret to say it met a very different fate; it was
thrown out, and the disappointment and dismay oc-
casiotred by that injudicious step is not to be con-
ceived.—(Hear.) The consequence was, that the
Duke of Wellington was sent for, and I have every
reason to believe that he was ready to bring in a Bill
as nearly as possible like the very Bill he had assisted
in throwing out.—(Hear.) But what happened ?
The Noble Duke, trying to gain reinforcements,
found honesty in the camp.—(Cheers.) I say ho-
nesty, Gentlemen. I love honesty; and I believe
that those to whom the Noble Duke applied plainly
told his (irate, " We will not join you,—we cannot
change our minds, as your Grace has done, in the
course of three days."—( Cheers and laughter.) The
consequence was, that that great Field-Marshal was
obliged to make a precipitate retreat,—his designs
were frustrated,—and, in my opinion, he became an-
nihilated in politics.--(Cheers.) Lord Grey was
again sent for by the King, and he said," I will not
take office unless your Majesty can assure me that I
have in my power the means of carrying this Bill;
on that ground alone I will take office." I need not
tell you that the Noble Lord prevailed. Never was
an announcement received with so much enthusiasm
by the people of England, as the announcement of
Earl Grey having been reinstated in his office. There
never was such universal joy in this country.—(Hear.)
Gentlemen, I for one foresaw that the Bill would be
carried without a fresh creation of Peers, and I con-
fess that I would only have consented to that step
as a last resort.—(Hear, hear). Gentlemen I now
beg leave to give you " the health of Lord Grey
and his Majesty's Ministers, and thanks to them for
having given us the glorious and ever-memorable
Reform Bill." The Noble Lord sat down amid
the most rapturous applause, and the toast was drank
with three times three cheers, followed by incessant
peals of applause, which lasted some minutes.
The VICE-PRESIDENT—Gentlemen, allow me to
give you " the health of my Lord Yarborough and
the Reformers of Lincolnshire."
The toast was drunk with three times three en-
thusiastic cheers, and peals of applause, which con-
tinued for some minutes.

The CHAlRMAN—Gentlemen, it is, I assure you,
impossible for me to find words to express how
deeply obliged I feel to my Honourable Friend for
having in so kind a manner proposed my health, and
to you, Gentlemen, in particular, for the flattering
manner in which you have done me the honour to
drink it. Without further comment, I will give
you " the health of the Recorder, Viscount Gode-
rich, and the Reformers of the city."—(Great
cheering).
Mr. Alderman CARTLEDGE returned thanks,

Sir W. A. INGILBY—G' entlemen, I give you "the
health of the Vice-President, Sir Montague Cholme-
ley," and no man in England better deserves three
times three cheers.—(True, true).
The toast was drank with most unbounded ap-
plause.
Sir M. CHOLMELEY--My Lord and Gentlemen,
I can only attribute your kindness to a conviction of
my having done my duty honestly. I dare say you
have all heard me observe, that honesty is the best
policy. I firmly believe it, and if we wanted an
furnished by the newspapers of this day. I refer,
example,Ge I do not know of a more apt one than is
Gentlemen, to the elevation of that honest man, Sir
Thomas Denman, to the highest honour of the
Court of King's Bench.—(Cheers.) If you will
allow me, I will now give you a toast. I need
scarcely tell you that I am going to propose to you,

(PRICE 7D.)

" the health of your two county members."—
(Cheers.)
The toast was drunk with three times three most
hearty cheering, and abundant applause.
Sir W. A. INGILBY—My Lord and Gentlemen,
it is not our intention to allow Great Britain to be
reduced to that state that she once was,—trampled
down by an overwhelming aristocracy and an inso-
lent priesthood.—(Hear, hear.) I flatter myself,
Gentlemen, that I am to be one of those who will
effect the redemption of this country, notwithstand-
ing the calumnies that are circulated against me.—
(Cheers, and laughter.) lam going to state some-
thing that has come to my knowledge within the
last two or three days, respecting a very distin-
guished character in this county, namely, Parson
Foulis.—(Laughter.) Gentlemen, you must re-
member that at some market town in this county I
took tip the Pension List, from which I made a few
fair quotations, as to the appropriation of some of
your moneys; and at last, Gentlemen, I saw the
name of Lady Foulis, and I stated it without any
angry feeling against this frantic minister of the Gos-
pel, or any of his family.—(Laughter.) I stated
that (which, in truth, I then believed) the name was
not one of every day occurrence, such as" Clark,"
" Johnson," "Jones," " Wilson," or the like.
Coupling, therefore, the name of Lady Foulis with
this minister, and knowing the present gentleman to
be a brother of the Foulises in Yorkshire, my im-
pression was, that there was no other family of his
name in the British dominions; and seeing this par-
son subscribing towards the purse for the purpose
of turning me out, I did think he was a very pro-
per person to get hold of, as he might account for
the money that had been paid to the lady out of the
public funds,—of which he was all of a sudden so
vastly sore.—(Hear, hear.) But, Gentlemen, I
come forward now to say, not so much for the edi-
fication of the parson as those connected with him,—
at the same time I would remind him that it would
perhaps have been advantageous to him if he had
not written me that very unclerical letter, for I think
it was not written in the true spirit of Christian charity
and humility which become a minister of religion ; I
say, I come forward to speak it as a man, and
for the family edification, if they feel any calumny at
my having stated that one of their branch received
a pension of 701. a year,—l heard, within the last
day or two, that some years ago, a certain Sir John,
or William, or some Sir Foulis, was a military man
in the garrison of Gibraltar. Now, Gentlemen, if
this Sir Foulis had a companion, she would be en-
titled to be called " Lady Foulis,"—and, recollect,
the date is ancient,—l trace her from 1792,—50 that
40 years ago there may have been some Sir Foulis
in the garrison of Gibraltar,—he might have died
there and lett a widow, and it may be very probable
in this case, that that widow was not only pensioned
upon the country, but it is not unlikely she might
have deserved her pension. I shall now finish with
my friend the parson of Wragby, who, I think it
very probable, knows nothing of the fact of a
Lady Foulis receiving a pension; but, I repeat,
I think it very probable that as there was a
Sir Foulis in the garrison of Gibraltar some
years ago, his lady may still may be alive, and
I do not know but that she may be the Lady Foulis
now receiving the pension, and that the pious mem-
ber of the parson of Wragby's family, is not the per-
,ort who has received the money from the taxes;
but where is there such a very great trespass com-
mitted? We have seen even ladies not going into
tits when they were charged with receiving pen-
sions. A certain lady not very far from here, very
readily and properly condescended to disgorge her
pension. I think the Duchess of Newcastle.—
(Right, right.) When it came to be published be-
fore the people that she was receiving a pension
from Government, her Grace, with a modesty be-
coming the delicate sex (and I think with a modesty
that would well become many other ladies who are
receiving money out of the public purse), gave up
her pension to the country—(Cheers, and great
applause)—and I dare say his Grace of Newcastle,
rather than be a dis-grace to the lady, would not
have much hesitation in coming forward to refund the
20 or 30,0001. he has taken out of the taxes.—
( Laughter.) After a few other remarks, the worthy
Baronet sat down amid the most deafening plaudits.
The Hon. C. A. PELHAM—My Lord and Gentle-
men, I assure you I feel very grateful for your kind-
ness in drinking my health. I will now give you a
toast, which I am sure you will drink with great
pleasure. I will give you " the health of my Hon.
Friend Mr. Heneage."—(Great cheering.)

The toast was &Link with three times three hearty
cheers and great applause.
G. F. HENEAGE, Esq. M.P.—My Lord and Gen-
lemen, as a public man who has laboured in your
cause, and who has been entrusted with your con-
fidence, I hope I am deserving of that kind feeling
which you have shown towards me.—(Hear, hear,
and cheers.) Gentlemen, I will no longer detain
you, but I beg to propose to you " the health of the
Right Hon. Charles Tennyson," with three times
three.

The Right Hon. C. TENNYSON was received with
great cheering. We have restored the King to his
proper authority.—(Cheers.) We have relieved
him from the incubus which oppressed him, and pa-
ralyzed his constitutional authority. He is freed from
the dictation of a selfish faction. He can now freely
exercise, for the good of the people at large, those
prerogatives which he is proud to feel are entrusted
to him for that purpose alone. But this is not all,
We have put the House of Peers into its proper
station in the Constitution. We have relieved it
from that odisim which attached to the whole body,
because several of its members possessed the un-
constitutional power of nominating Members to our
House of Parliament. Thus, I trust, we have re-
stored the Constitution in all its parts. That being
now happily sealed, we have only to consider the
results. The first consideration naturally is, whether
the Reform Bill will, as it stands, work that due
representation of the people to which we have so
fondly looked. My opinion has ever been declared,
both in Pal liament and out of Parliament, as opposed
to the 101. franchise for towns.—(Hear, hear.) Some,
I know, have said it was too low. I will not say it is
too high, because in my judgment the franchise ought
not to have been founded upon pecuniary value at all.
(Cheers.) Such a test draws an invidious line
somewhere.—(Cheers.) My decided opinion is,
that in towns a scot and lot household franchise was
that which was most congenial to the Constitution
of England, sanctioned by ancient custom, most just
in itself, and most equal at all times and in all places;
whereas, a franchise based upon pecuniary value,
must vary at different places and at different times.
I regretted its adoption. But the Ministers had
great difficulties. The franchise, like many other
points in the 1311, was no doubt a compromise. I
could not avoid making this passing observation in
proceeding to remark upon the .501. franchise, in
counties, given to tenants at will. I voted against
it ; not because I object to those parties having
votes, but because I did not see my way to such
votes being freely exercised. On the contrary, 1
feared, and my fear has been realized, that they
would become practically the property of the land-
lord. If lam right in my impression that this fran-
chise was given to the agricultural tenantry in re-
spect of his capital and labour employed on the land,
and not to swell the power of the landlord, then I
say it is an absolute fraud, usurpation, and robbery,
for any landlord to say to his tenant, " Your vote
is mine."—(Cheering.) As well might he say,
" Your capital is mine!—your labour is mine!—you
