LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 13, 1832.

The discussion on the Russian-Dutch Loan,
last night, appears to have been a mere elec-
tioneering job. The party opposed to the pay-
ment, or rather opposed to the Ministry, made
repeated allusions to the forthcoming elections,
with a view to show the people that Ministers
were prodigal of the public money, and that their
antagonists, had they been in power, would have
acted differently. The people will not be de-
ceived by such a trick. No one, in fact,
beleives that the Tory party would have refused
the payment, had they been in power. It is really
amusing to hear them speak of economy and of
appeals to the people—that people, too, whom
they designated the rabble, and from whom they
made the most strenuous exertions to withhold
their just rights. The Tories ought, for their
own sake, to be the last persons in the world to
remind the people of the word " economy," be.
cause by so doing they will only make
the public remember that, during their adtni-
nistration, in place of economy, a wilful
and wreckless expenditure of money was the
order of the day. Those men speak of eco-
nomy who made that very treaty, granting to
Russia five millions for an object in which she
was equally interested with Great Britain—who
sanctioned the wanton expenditure of thousands
upon thousands to please the whims of a ca-
pricious Monarch, and who have, by their system
of policy, and their neglect of the true interests
of the people, saddled the country with a debt
which crushes her to the dust. Such an appeal
is worse than useless, because it will only re-
mind the nation that economy was never prac-
tised till the Tories were turned out of office, and
lead them to think that their only object in making
the appeal is to get their hands again into the
public purse. Much as we detest the policy of
Russia, and glad as we should be to cripple her
means, we cannot see what other course the
Government could have pursued on this question.
The money, in fact, has to be paid for services
already performed, and let the conduct of Russia
afterwards be what it may, Great Britain could
never be justified in getting rid of the obligation.
The only part of the conduct of Ministers that
at all appeared irregular was paying the instal-
ments in January without the sanction of Par-
liament, but that was satisfactorily explained
last night. The separation of Belgium and
Holland was not formally recognized by Russia,
till that period, and till that had been done, an
appeal to Parliament was not absolutely re-
quired. It will be seen that Ministers had a
majority of 46 on the division.

The French morning papers of Wednesday,
with the evening journals dated Thursday, have
been received, but they do not add much either
interesting or important to our previous news
from Paris. The Moniteur contradicts the re-
ports published by the Constitutionnel, relative
to a proclamation said to have been ad-
dressed by the Patriots of Tuscany to their
fellow countrymen ; but it does not state
whether or not a large body of Austrian troops
are ordered into the Grand Duchy to preserve
" order•"

Every thing remained quiet in the French ca-
pital, though much annoyance was felt from the
heat, and some apprehensions from the increas-
ing ravages of the cholera.

coercive measures against Holland.

Frankfort Papers state that Prince WREDE
has expressed his entire disapprobation of the
declaration of the last Bavarian Provincial As-
sembly, that the Government had lost the con-
fidence of the people. He is now waking the

first move to put down the rising spirit of liberty
in Rhenish Bavaria :--
VIENNA, JULY 1.-Yesterday morning the Queen
Dowager of Bavaria arrived at the imperial palace at
Schonbrunn. A repart was spread yesterday (but not
confirmed since), that Prince Talleyrand had accepted the
place of President of the Council of Ministers, on which
the funds improved a little.
An English courier has to day brought to the English
legation the 65th and 66th protocols of the London Con-
ference respecting the evacuation of Antwerp, and the re-
lease of M. Thorn. Great doubts are entertained of the
execution of these protocols on the part of Holland, and of
the success of the Conference in putting a speedy end to
the difference between Holland and Belgium, even by the
measures of coercion.—Allgemeine Zeitung.
SPIRE, JUNE 29.—M. de Stengel, newly appointed
Commissioner of the Circle of the Rhine, and Lieutenant-
General de la Motte, Commander-in-Chief of the troops
stationed in Rhenish Bavaria, were yesterday solemnly in.
stalled in their functions. His Highness, Prince Wrede,
Commissioner of the Court, delivered a speech on this oc-
casion. The Prince expressed his entire disappro-
bation of the declaration of the last Provincial Assembly,
that the Government had lost the confidence of the peo-
ple, and also the conduct of several deputies to the 219.•
sembly of the States of Rhenish Bavaria.

An ordinance concerning public tranquillity and order
was also read.

The Government cannot be blamed for putting an end
to disorder. It is not only authorised, but it is its duty to
enforce the laws by legal means. However, it ought not to
go further. We are convinced, and the ordinance proves,
that the laws of the Circle of the Rhine are quite suffi-
cient to maintain order and tranquillity ; it is not neces-
sary to declare it in a state of siege, and the Government
is not constitutionally authorised to do so.
The following is the preamble to the " Ordinance con-
cerning public order and tranquillity":
" Tee extraordinary Commissioners, charged by his
Majesty the King to repress with vigour, but at the same
time strictly keeping within the limits of the law and the
Constitution, the disorders which have taken place in the
circle of the Rhine, firmly persuaded that, under the be-
neficent government of his Majesty, nothing is necessary
but strictly to maintain the laws, in order to insure the
respect and obedience due to them, publishes the following
ordinance."

This ordinance, which is of considerable length, is di-
vided into sixteen articles.

All the agents of the Executive Authority are an-
swerable for the execution of the laws, and any who
may join in the offences which they are called on to
repress, will be severely punished. All functionaries are
to enforce the respect due to the authorities, to check all
resistance or acts of violence towards the constituted au.
thorities, and, if necessary, to call in the assistance of the
armed force. They are to have all trees of liberty re-
moved within twenty-four hours, to cause all tri-coloured
cockades and party-badges to be laid aside, and to see that
none but the Bavarian national colours are worn. All
damage done by the rioters to be made good by the Com-
munes, unless they can prove that they have done their
utmost to prevent or check such excesses. Every citizen
is bound by the laws to assist the armed force when called
upon.

Every person having knowledge of plots against the
safety of the State, is bound, under severe penalties, to
give notice in 24 hours.
Illegal associations are prohibited, and those who lend
their houses for such meetings shall be punished according
to the law.

Ecclesiastics, who shall blame the laws or the actions of
the Government in public assemblies, or is the exercise of
their functions, or shall invite disobedience to the autho-
rities, shall be punished according to article 200 et seq.
of the penal code, independently of the penalty that may
be inflicted on them by their superiors.
The constitutional edict on the liberty of the press shall
be strictly enforced ; and all seditious writings proceeded
against with all the rigour of the laws.

Complaints alleged _in a legal manner shall be carefully
examined, and the High Commissioner will exert himself
speedily to remedy all such as shallappear to be well
founded, as far, at least, as it may be in the power of the
Gove: nment.

Should the measures taken by virtue of the laws not
suffice, the ordinance proceeds to state the cases in which,
according to the Constitution and the existing laws, the
armed force may be called upon to act; and in such cases
the Prince would find himself under the necessity, by virtue
of the power given him, and on a resolution of the Com-
mission, to proceed to the military occupation at the expense
of the inhabitants of the communes which shall be in a
state of armed rebellion; be wont,' give over the local
police, wholly or in part, according to circumstances, to
the military commander—and, lastly, would declare first
in a state of war, and then in a state of siege, with all
the ruinous consequences that would follow these measures,
the places which should be converted into fortresses or
military posts.
The commissioner, in giving notice of these rigorous
measures sanctioned by the laws, does not fear that there
will be any occasion to carry them into execution. We
confidently expect that the inhabitants of the circle of the
Rhine will exert themselves to maintain, and, when neces-
sary, to restore, public tranquillity; and will, for the at-
tainment of that important object, cordially assist the
constitutional authorities.

MANtratm, JULY 3.—On the first instant, at nine
o'clock in the evening a great crowd assembled before
the house of M. Stromeyer, who having attempted to
leave the city was under arrest because he had to appear
again before the tribunals. In the end, disregarding the
remonstrances of the citizens, they attempted to force the
door, but the military coming up succeeded in dispersing
the crowd in spite of their resistance, and without using
their offensive weapons. Forty-seven person are arrested,
among whom are students, Poles, persons from the left
bank, journeymen, apprentices, Sac Stromeyer has been
released from his arrest and has received his passport.—
Frankfiot Papers, July 6.

Letters have been received this morning from
Quebec of the 14th ult. giving a most melan-
choly account of the ravages of the cholera there .
Carts are continually going about the streets, to
carry the dead bodies to their graves, who are
taken off in five or six hours. The emigrants
are the greatest sufferers.

Despatches were received this day at the
Colonial Office from Bermuda.

Our readers will find by our report of the
Lunacy case in the King's Bench, and of the
Debate in the House of Commons, that yester-
day was not one of Mr. POLLOCK'S brillian
days. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman
figured with equal credit to his sagacity in both.
In the King's Bench he was sadly mauled
by Dr. HASLAM ; and in the House of Com-
mons he was as effectually set down by Lord
ALTHORP. It is not often that a public man
has the singular ill-luck to catch two tartars in
one day. Mr. PoLLocx had better stick to the
law. He may rely on it he is not destined to
shine either as a Metaphysician or a Statesman,
as Dr. HASLAM and Lord ALTHORP have
both proved (we hope) to his satisfaction.

The cholera is spreading very fast in Hol-
born ; a tailor named MARKS, living in Ely-
court, was carried off* yesterday by the disease ; as
also, were three children in that neighbourhood.

SIR WALTER SCOTT.—Our distinguished
countryman arrived at Newhaven last night, in the Jame
Watt steam-vessel, after a passage of 47 hours. Sir WALTER
stood the voyage fully as well as could have been ex-
pected. The most marked and kind attention was paid to
him by all persons connected with these admirable steam-
vessels.—Edinburgh Observer.
EAST AND WEST LOGE.--The little
Boroughs, or rather miserable hamlets, of East Lone and
West Looe are separated by a small creek of the sea,
a,ohvaesr
which there is a wooden bridge. This place, which
been the property of the Bui.LEs. family for more than a
century, (one of whom is always one of its four Itpre-
sentatives), is called also Portpigham, by which name it
is distinguished in holding Courts. Neither of these
places can boast of much antiquity, having no parish
church belonging to either of them. In the wretched
hamlet, called %Vest Looe, there is not so much as a cha-
pel, though the miserable hovel, which is now, by way of
derision, called the Guildhall, was said to have been for-
inerly a place of worship.—From " A Key to both.
Houses of Parliament," just published.
