THOMAS WILSON, E-4., in the Chair,
The following Resolutions were adopted :
It was moved by THOMAS BARING, Esq., and seconded by

JOHN MITCHELL, Esq.,
1. That we have seen with deep concern and alarm the
PPointment of a squadron of British ships-of-war avowedly
'Wended to co-operate with the French force against Hol-
tind, and the issuing of an Order in Council to detain in
Ann and at sea, all ships belonging to subjects of his Ma-
lest,- the King of the Netherlands, as well as all persons
"' b
_ oar d.

It was moved by THOMAS RAISES, Egq., and seconded by

• H. FREESE, Esq.,
2. That the hostilities thus threatened do not appear to
have been provoked by any injury inflicted upon British
inttrests, or by any insult offered to British honour.
It wag moved by MATTHIAS WOLVEKLEY ATTWOOD, Esq.,

and seconded by Sir F. OMMANNEY,
3. That knowing the vital importance of the continuance
of peace to this country, we deprecate a war which, in the
absence of all Parliamentary information, appears to us to
be without sufficient motive or justification, and directed
against a free, loyal, and united people, an ancient and
faithful Ally, connected with us by many common inte-
rest,' and by the recollection of our united efforts in the
tause of civil and religious liberty.
kit Was moved by F. Huni, Esq., and seconded by RICHARD
THORNTON. Esq.
4. That this unexpected interruption to our active, arni-
lables and beneficial intercourse with Holland and its co-
trial possessions, which has afforded an important outlet
the staple productions of this country, has already
,treated considerable inconvenience, and, if persisted in,
.must be productive of consequences seriously injurious to
Par commercial, shipping, and manufacturing interest,
!!'hich in the present time, particularly claim the protec-
t' 0 and sympathy of the Government.
It Was moved by J. B. HEATH. Esq., and seconded by A.
GOWER, E,q.

IVRT,„ LONDON,
---'474ESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 14, 1832.

A private express has been received this
lb
,\i'rning from Paris bringing the papers of
41" day. They are principally devoted to corn-
enta on the capture of the Duchess of BERRY,
tttled the entrance of the French troops into
Igium.

he.
The Carlist Journals are most vehement in
tr attacks against the Government. They
Lcetise the Minister of the Interior with the
':.eatest perfidy towards the Duchess of BERRY,
:t! that the whole affair was a plan laid by
'lnisters to please the Dupin party and that
it) the Revolution of 1830. Louis Primp
:1 the QUEEN, it is positively asserted, were
;4re that this Princess had taken refuge in
141tes, and that a secret correspondence had
icen place between them, in which her aunt
blared, that if she did not immediately take
lttl.ight and leave the French territory, it would
'lllpossible for Government any longer to
tti4al her place of abode, and should she
eaPtured, they could not answer for her life,

as novular feeling might be too powc►ful, and
would endanger the throne, if any leniency were.
attempted in her favour.

I Her arrest has created but very little surprise
in Paris, as the public was well aware that if Go-
vernment really was determined to resort to rigo-
rous measures towards this heroine of the fallen
dynasty, it would be impossible for her to carry
on her intrigues in a country like France,
where the most active police regulations are
obliged to be complied with. The popular
feeling is not so much against this infatuated
Princess as it is against the culpability of Go-
vernment in not acting according to the Charter,
and, when it found that she had landed, in not
adopting those measures that would have pre-
vented the effusion of blood. The general belief
is that she will be banished for life, and in case
of her ever attempting a second time to violate
the Charter, death will be her reward. She
has been conveyed to the Chateau de Blaye as
a traitoress, to await the decision of the Cham-
bers in what manner she is to be tried.
The Duke of ORLEANS and the Duke de
NEMOURS left on Sunday afternoon for the head
quarters of Marshal GERARD. A telegraphic
despatch had been received from that General
that the French troops were preparing to enter
Belgium, he having received an express from
Brussels that the King of HOLLAND was de-
termined not to comply with the treaty, and was
concentrating his forces. The attack on the
citadel of Antwerp, now beyond doubt, will take
place. _
_ _

It was circulated at the Bourse that the
King of HOLLAND had been advised to sur-
render the citadel, sooner than allow the French
to enter Belgium. The opinion is, however,
that he will persist to the last, and that Prussia
has promised him aid.

Paris is in a very agitated state, as the meet-
ing of the Chambers draws near, which will take
place on the 19th. Strong reinforcements have
arrived in the environs of the capital, in case of
an enzeute, as the Carlists are known to have
been at their intrigues.

The funds are rather lower.
M. DUPIN is not expected to join the Mi
nistry before the 19th.

The Moniteur asserts that the French Go•
vernment arrested the Duchess of BERRY, as
soon as it had information of the place of her
concealment. We have reason to believe this
statement to be false, and to have been made
only for the purpose of allaying popular excite-
ment. The place of her retreat was known to
the French Government more than a fortnight
before her arrest, and the Duchess had notice
to that extent, whether from the Government or
not we do not pretend to say, of the discovery
having been made, with an urgent recommenda-
tion for instant flight—a recommendation with
which this silly woman, blindly relying on the
misstatements of the instigators of her absurd
and criminal attempt, as to the means of her
partizans, refused to comply. We are very far
from blaming the French Government for this
forbearance—the Duchess of BERRY was at
the same time a woman, and a member of the
reigning family. The indulgence due to her sex,
and pity for her misfortunes, prompted leniency ;
although, weighed in the scales of justice, her
crime was of the highest character, being nothing
less than an attempt to gratify personal ambition
at the cost of much human life and the sacrifice
of national prosperity ; and her relationship to
the reigning MONARCH justified an effort to
remove her from the country, without the alter-
native of a trial, the result of which might prove
afflicting to her friends, and her own destruction.
Under these considerations, we wonder that the
Moniteur should pay so bad a compliment to
the French nation as to think it necessary to jus-
tify the Government for having shown so much
forbearance to a woman. The arrest of the
Princess was an event which could do no good
to the reigning dynasty, and might be productive
of much mischief. It has now takgn place through
her own folly ; and easy as the course may seem
to some, in our opinion it is thickly sown with
difficulties.

In the first place, LOUIS PHILIP owes to his
people, by whom he has been for some time sus-
pected (ridiculously, we confess, for LOUIS
PHILIP is no Monck playing false to the Libe-
rals for the purpose of restoring the old despots)
of a desire to disgust the French nation with his
system of Government, in order to propitiate
favour for the late dynasty, a sacrifice of per-
sonal feeling in the performance of a public duty.
The Duchess of BERRY, although a woman, is
a rebel, and a rebel, not merely against the au-
thority of the SOVEREIGN, but of the nation,
and those principles which caused the downfall
of CHARLES X., and procured the accession of
the present Monarch. In ordinary cases the
nation condemns, and the King is allowed the
prerogative of pardon ; but how will Louis
PHILIP be able to exercise this prerogative,
suspected as he is, of a leaning towards princi-
ples of an anti-constitutional tendency? We trust
he will be spared this trial of character. The
nation should decide on the punishment due to
the offender, and the King be allowed neither
to aggravate nor ameliorate that decision. If he
has wise Counsellors about him, they will recom-
mend such a course as the only one adapted to
the circumstances. What the punishment of the
Duchess of BERRY will be, it is impossible to
say. As the mother of him, who, but for the
guilt and folly of his family would have been
KING, we can make some excuse for her anxiety
to effect a counter-revolution, and the considera-
tion might weigh with the nation if the Duchess
had not shown that a counter-revolution under
her auspices would not be a mere change of
dynasty, but also a return to the most fright-
ful despotism. Had she announced HENRY
the Fifth and the Constitutional Charter, the
people, who care little about men, so that prin-
ciples be respected, would have been lenient to
her in her discomfiture ; but we find her in close
relation not only with the despots of Russia,
Austria, and Prussia, but actually in cordial
union with the monster of Portugal. The
money of Don MIGUEL has defrayed part of
the cost of her expedition, and if HENRY the
Fifth had been restored, it would have been

with the understanding that. what MtGum, has
been to the Portuguese, HENRY should be to
the French nation. The Duchess of BERRY
has been playing a profligate as well as a despe-
rate game, and if she should escape the ordinary
penalty of treason, she will be indebted for her
escape to the generosity of the French people,
and the contempt with which they regard the
machinations of their enemies, rather than to any
circumstances of extenuation which could be
pleaded in her favour. We sincerely trust that
her life will be spared, but we cannot allow even
her sex to be her excuse for her misconduct.
The French need not stain the glorious results
of their revolution with blood, but if blood were
wanting, they vypuld be justified in shedding
that of the Dueirev of BERRY.
