" The true object of the measures adopted by France
' and England was the consolidation of peace by insuring
the execution of the treati s; the mission of the French
army was, be said, to insure the territorial independence of
Belgium ; the siege of the citadel of Antwerp was about to
be pressed with vigour; and he doubted not, that in a very
short time, the object of the expedition being obtained,
the army would return, bringing hack new pledges of peace,
and loaded with the gratitude of the allies of France, and
the esteem of other nations, witnesses of its moderation as
well as of its courage."

Whether the :Ministry will be able to maintain

reground it has gained, it would be presurnp-

tuous in us to pronounce a positive opinion one
way or the other ; but as far as we may judge of
public opinion by the French Papers, we should
think that after the support which the present
Government derives from the Dutch war and the
pistol plot shllll have passed away, it will find it
difficult to resist the cry for further improvements
in the spirit of the Constitution of 1830, which
the movement party sends forth :
(From the Nouvelliste of Sunday, received this morning.)
A letter from Valenciennes, dated the Ist December,
says," Immediately after the arrival of the courier which
brought the reserve the order to enter Belgium, our Na-
tional Guard relieved all the posts of the town. Two
hours were sufficient to assemble a proper number of men
for this service. The zeal of the citizen soldiery was not
deficient on this occasion, and showed they might be de-
pended upon in an emergency.
" To day, about noon, the voltigeurs who were here
marched for Belgium, in the direction of Ath. It appears
that these battalions are only to be formed in the neigh-
bourhood of Brussels. The other companies of grenadiers
which were at Mauberg have received sitnilir orders."

The Tory faction is still vigorously pursuing
its old course of intrigue and blunder. Hertfind
and Glasgow—as will be seen by reference to
The Sun of yesterday—have been the most
recent theatres of its mountebank exhibitions ;
but notwithstanding that the head-showmen at
either place, did their utmost by grimace and
buffoonery to render their entertainments popular,
they went off with surprising flatness. We are
not astonished at this. We should be asto-
nished only were it otherwise. An age of dis-
cernment is not an age likely to appreciate Tory
tom-fooleries. They were effective enough when
men knew no better, but must be content to sink to
their proper level, the instant the countryhas learnt
to discriminate between black and white, between
right and wrong. LordVERULAM twaddled much
at Hertford, after the usual fashion, and on the
usual topics of his tribe, but was replied to by
Lord DACRE in a style, and with a weight of
argument that brought conviction home to th
minds of all who were not irrecoverably sunk in

the stye of their own prejudices. At Glasgow, the
Tory meeting was altogether a failure, and of so
ridiculous a character„,that contempt for the pro-
jectors ssas lost in the laughter that their forlorn
appearance excited. Whither now will Punch
betake himself? He has been regularly hooted
from every stage where he has yet exhibited his
jugglery. Shrewsbury will have none of him ;
Leeds—Huddersfield—Bristol, are equally averse
to such " sight-seeings." In a word, the poor
puppet has been beaten in all quarters. We ad-
vise the Tories, therefore, to get up some new
feat of legerdemain, and one of a more sprightly,
original character. The Dutch war is worn out,

of some conversations they had with the accu=sed, relative
to Prince Gustavus o Was,.

The German Papers say that the intentions
of Austria are decidedly pacific. This may be
inferred from the exertions of her Ambassador
in Paris to bring about a settlement ()f the Belgic
question. Austria acts wisely ; for she would
lose more than . she would gain by war, and in-
deed so would Prussia and Russia. However,
the question of peace or war at this moment de-
pends entirely on Prussia:—
DRESDEN, Nov. 21.—We hear from good authority
that her Majesty the Queen Dowaeer of Bavaria will ar-
rive here next month with the Princess .Mary, rand that
'he marriage of her Royal Highness with our Prince Co-
Ilsgent will then take place.
SWITZERLAND, Nov. 23.—The presiding Canton,
taking into consideration the present state of Europe, has
invited the Governments of the Cantons, in a circular of
the 15th instant, to have their contingents in readiness,
and the frontier Cantons to inform it without delay of
all events that may occur near their territory.
STUTTGARD, Nov. 21.—We learn that the Prussian
Minister at our Court has made a complaint on account
•if the pamphlet of Dr. Schutz, of Darmstadt, entitled
" The Unity of Germany realized by the National Re-
presentation," and which was pubished here by E.

VIENNA, Nov. 22.—The news of the entrance of the
French army into Belgium arrived here this morning.
Our Funds are not much affected, which proves that no
were serious difficulties are expected from this event.
- There are indeed accounts from the Hague, that the
King will have Antwerp evacuated as soon as the French
army appears, but this is very doubtful. The moment is
important, for nobody can foresee the consequences of an
enterprise which is disapproved in all Europe, even in
England. It the citadel of Antwerp is defended, and the
conflict protracted, the greatest embarrassments may arise,
in spite of all efforts to prevent collisions.

A Spani,ll courier lias arrived here from Naples. An
Austrian courier is gone to Berlin, and a Russian to St.
Peer,burgli.

In another part of our Paper will be found an
abridgement of the debates in the French Cham-
ber of Depu.ies on Friday and Saturday. Our
neighbours seem to be sadly deficient in the self
respect which restrains the Members of our own
Chambers, for the most part, within the bounds
of moderation. The debates were upon different
amendments proposed by the Opposition to the
Address to the KING, and as they were in every
instance defeated, we may the less wonder at
their venting their disappointment in the disor-
derly conduct which the Chamber is but too fre-
quently a wittles of. The chief' points chosen for
attack by the Opposition were the conduct of the
Ministry in June, in declaring Paris in a state
of siege, its conduct in La Vendee, and with re-
gard to Antwerp. The President of the Council
and his friends made the best defence they could ;
but, as far as strangers may be allowed to judge,
it was but weak, except in what related to the
Dutch war. Upon this subject Marshal SOULT
