THE ihouE, SEPT. 17.—General Chase received, on
the 13th, an answer from the Governor of Antwerp to
his letter of the 10th, which we gave in a former number
of our journil, which answer we hasten to communicate
to our readers:—

" Antwerp, Sept. J.
" TO BARON CHASSE, GENERAL OF INFANTRY, AND Mi.'

LITARY GOVERNOR OF THE CITADEL OF ANTWERP'.

" M. le General,—Ever since the cessation of boutili,
ties, you have laboured without ceasing to add to the
strength of the citadel ; not only have new works i;t"
undertaken within the citadel itself, but the exterior de-
fences have been considerably reinforced. The same is the
case with the forts in your possession ',post the left bank
of the river, particularly the Tete de Flandres, where the
works are still going on, and mortars just received from
Holland by the Scheldt are now being placed; additional
pieces of cannon, received through the same channel, hive
ilso, in considerable numbers, been placed upon the cita-
del. You have thus altered the statu quo of the place,
and allowed yourself a latitude which has never been per-
mitted in similar cases.

" I have hitherto made no opposition to the progress of
these works, because my Government wished to avoid vio-
lent explanations—(les discussions brutales). But I now
claim a reciprocity for the town of Antwerp, which is no
less threatened by the citadel, the forts of the left bank and
your naval force, than is the citadel by the garrison of
Antwerp—and I el tim it the more that the place not
having a front to present upon the most exposed points of
its perimeter, charged as I am with its defenoe, there is
the greater necessity for providing for it.
" Confident of this right, I shall make no concessions
either to unjust pretensions or to threats, from whatever
quarter they may come, but continue to do my duty, and
discharge the trust reposed in me to the best of my power.
I, therefore, decline your offer, and cast upon you, Ge-
neral, all the responsibility of an aggression which you
would charge upon me. (Signed) " BUZEN."

" We hold it unnecessary to contest the assertion that
there is any similarity between the strengthening of the
citadel and the Tete de Flandres and the works erected to
attack the citadel; but it deserves to be mentioned that
• the new works and the mortars, which the Governor of
Antwerp thinks he perceives at the Tete de Frandres, con
sist of a stage erected for the exercise of a company of
rope-dancers, who have come to amuse the garrison.
" It appears from this correspondence between General
Chasse and the Governor of Antwerp, that hostilities be-
twee❑ the citadel and the town depend on the enemy's
continuing or not continuing the works for the attack of
the citadel. The General's reports of the 14th and 15th
state on this subject, that no further prosecution whatever
of the works had been observed.

" In the Batavia papers, to the 17th of May, we find
a notice issued by the Governor-General, dated April 20,
by which, in payment of the rent of the coffee plantations,
the coffee is to be taken at the price of 22 florins in silver
per picul.
" By another decree of the Governor-General, also of
the 20th of April, it is ordered, that all brown sugar, (in-
cluding Areeng sugar), as well as molasses, shall hence-
forward be exported free of all duty, without distinction to
what place or under what flag the exportation is made.
" The same papers bring an account of an insurrection
among the Chinese agricultural labourers, lately brought
to Poerweckarta, which, however, was speedily put down."

A PRETTY CONSIDERABLE MEMORY.—
The following is related by DUPIN of the celebrated Cu-
VIER, whom he has just succeeded as one of the forty
members of the French Academy. " The labours by
which Cuviaa immortalized himself required immense
powers of memory. His mind was stored nut only with
several thousand generic and specific names of animals of
every species, but with the names and complicated gene-
alogies of every leading family in Europe, both of times
past and present. Nay, as if there were a craving after
eastern luxury in this play of the memorative faculties, he
could quote off hand the names and dynasties of every
Asiatic prince and tribe, little as they seem deserving of the
toil. He was probably the best informed scholar in Eu-
rope, and yet his memory humbled itself to the meanest
subjects, and, as one who sought no other kind of schol tr-
ship, it heaped together all sorts of curious anecdotes, not
forgetting the names of the parties concerned ; and over
and above all these recreations, faithfully husbanded the
very text of any lampoon, epigram, or occasion tl poem,
which was likely to acquire historical importance."—
Athenceunt.

THE FAMILY OF PRINCE VON MET-
TERNICH.—The house of Metternich descends from an
ancient Rhenish house of chieftains, who gave three Elec-
tors to Germany, and were already in the Baronage previ-
ous to their being elevated to the dignity of Counts of the
German Empire, entitled so sit and vote in the. General
Diet. Formerly there were six branches of this family,
live of which are now extinct, only one, the younger,
now remaining, viz., the branch of Winnebourg and Biel-
stein, nominated in 1796 Sovereign Counts of the Empire,

languages, history, statistics, public law, the antiquities of
Austria, and diplomacy, were the studies to which he de-
voted his youth. In the negotiations of Radstadt for
establishing a general peace be was Envoy of the West-
phalian Bench of Counts, and signalised himself by his
luminous and bold speeches. He was next app inted
Envoy at the Court of Dresden in 1801, and at the Court
of Berlin in 1801. On the evening of the battle of Ley-
sic the Emperor of AUSTRIA nominated him Prince, and
soon after conferred on him the Austrian escutcheon, to
he put in the centre of his own ; for the success of that war
against NAPOLEON'S despotism was in a great part_. due to
him, who, since 1810, had succeeded Count STAntoN,

volved on him by inheritance. Among his ether vet),

NEW AFRICAN f XPEDITION.

The most interesting armament ever des-
patched from the shores of Britain has just been
equipped at the expense of a few princely mer-
chants of Liverpool. Its objects are to explore
and to open a commercial intercourse with the
heart of Africa, by means of the mighty waters
c,f the Niger, a river which has occasioned the
loss of more ink, and of more lives, to ascertain
its course, than any stream that geographers
have attempted to delineate. Richard Lander,
however, an unlettered, menial servant, at length
discovered the Niger to have its termination by
several mouths in the Atlantic ! This most
important discovery has, " at one fell swoop,"
with pitiless certitude, annihilated a thousand
elaborate theories. Interesting as must be the
result of the expedition now on its way to Af-
rica, yet it is quite amazing how little public
notice has been bestowed upon the subject. A
few fugitive paragraphs in the newspapers, in-
deed, announced that the squadron had sailed ;
but no detailed account has yet appeared re-
specting either its objects or its efficiency. The
United Service Journal, therefore, is an appro-
priate medium for the publication of such par-
ticulars; and we are mistrken if the empire at
large will not feel indebted for a communication
so important.
It has already been observed that Richard
Lander, an obscure and uneducated, but enter-
prising and intelligent Cornish servant of Cap-
tain Clapperton, at length ascertained that the
Niger below Boussa, after wandering for four
or five hundred miles through the heart of west-
ern Africa, and receiving the contributions of
many navigable streams, empties itself into the
ocean, by several embouchures, in that immense
bay of the Atlantic, called the Gulf of Guinea.
The Nun river, by which Lander and his brother
descended to the sea, disembogues its waters
near Cape Formosa, a promontory separating
the Bight of Biafra from the Bight of Benin.
From our settlement at Fernando Po, to the
Nun river, does not exceed one hundred and
fifty miles, so that the importance of our main-
taming a footing upon that island is manifest;
kr, in all probability, the Nun is the principal
embouchure of the Niger, though this point is
not yet decided. This much, however, appears
certain, that, entering by this channel, the Niger
is navigable for the whole four or five hundred
miles between Boussa and the sea ; that though,
above Boussa, the channel is obstructed by a
barrier of rocks, yet little doubt exists of its
having a communication with Timbuctoo ;
and, which is of greater consequence in a com-
mercial point of view, that, throughout its whole
majestic course, the Niger rolls through a fruitful
and thickly populated country, studded with
towns and villages, hitherto unvisited by Euro-
peans, and having no other trade with civilized
nations than such imperfect barter as could be
carried on across burning deserts, by the agency
of slave-dealers and periodical caravans. What
a field is here displayed for mercantile adventure
What an opening for extending the trade of
Great Britain ! What a market for our lan-
guishing manufactures ! What a means o 1
striking at the heart of the slave trade, by intro-
ducing civilization and industry across the very
route of the principal Caffilas ! What a harvest
for geographical and other science, in exploring
the Niger and its many tributary streams ! What
an opportunity for our missionaries to spread the
light of the gospel in the focus of idolatry and
superstition ! What a glorious chance of con-
verting imriads of heathen nations, and of sub-
stituting for ignorance, cruelty, and krbarism,
the blessed (loch ines of peace, goodwill, and
eternal salvation !

It was wit» prospects like these, and with a
TIC .1' to secure the advantages in question for our
own country, that proposals were made to his
Majesty's Government to take immediate pos-
session of Lander's newly-discovered river.
Why this project was not eagerly adopted it is
difficult to determine. Is it that our nation is
now ruled by that miserable kind of economy
which, placing a farthing on each eye, is pre-
vented from seeing a guinea at a distance P Be
this as it may, it is clearly our best policy that a
strongly fortified settlement should instantly be
f'ormcd at some commanding point in the healthy
country above the swamps of the Delta, to pre-
vent intrusion of vessels not under English
colours. We should thus bold the keys of Africa
in our grasp ; and its vast resources would be
open to us alone. If we neglect this, the prize
will soon be snatched by America, France, Spain,
Portugal, or some other nation less supine than
Great Britain. Surely, should even the Minis-
try persist in their incomprehensible apathy, this
matter must soon attract the notice of Parlia-
ment, since no subject of greater national im-
portance could occupy its consideration.
Finding no disposition on the part of govern.
ment to assist in appropriating the commerce of
Africa, Mr. Laird and some other merchants of
Liverpool determined to fit out an expedition at
their own expense; and so little encouragement
did they receive, that the Treasury actually re-
fused to permit the vessels, on their return,
to land their cargos duty free. Yet no sooner
had Mr. Laird, junior, accomplished the
equipment of his squadron, than the Ad-
miralty requested permission to send out a
surveyor of their own to take observations,
determine latitudes, longitudes, &c. Fortunately
for the nation at large, Mr. Laird did not object
to this appointment, and Lieut. Allen, R.N.
was selected by the Admiralty hydrographer ; an
officer whose conciliatory, amiable, and gentle-
manly manners soon secured him the personal
regard of Mr. Laird, and of every person on
hoard. Everything being at length prepared, and
Mr. Lander having promised to accompany the
expedition, the three vessels composing it assem-
bled in Milford Haven, as follows :

Quo7ra, steam-vessel. Having on board Mr.
Laird, jun. of Liverpool, as director, and super-
cargo of the squadron.
Sailing Commando. Mr. Harries, Mister of
the Royal Navy, an officer well acquainted with
the coast of Africa.

Lieutenant Allen, surveyor, furnished with
numerous instruments fcr observing the dip, la-
titudes, longitudes, &c.
Richard Lander, African traveller and disco-
verer of the termination of the Niger, acting as
guide, adviser, and partly as interpreter to the
expedition.

Also a gentleman of ability who has volun-
teered to accompany the squadron as surgeon
and naturalist.

The Quorra is 115 feet in length over all;
breadth of beam 16 feet; depth of hold, eight
feet; draught of water, with every thing on
board for ascending the Niger, four feet two
inches ; tonnage, 146, including the engine-
room. One engine of forty-horse power, to be
used only in calms, or in ascending rivers. Con-
structed to burn either coal or wood as may be
required.
Alhurkah. So named from an African ex-

pression, signifying " blessing." A small steam-
vessel, built entirely of iron, by Mr. Macgre-
gor Laird, director of the expedition. Fitted
with one steam-engine of fifteen-horse power,
constructed to burn coal or wood. Vessel 70
feet in length over all ; breadth of beam 13 feet
two inches ; depth of hold 611,- feet ; draught of
water, when launched, only nine inches ! With
engine in, and boiler full, drew two feet six
inches ; drew four feet six inches on leaving
Milford Haven, having provisions and water for
42 men for 50 days, besides 10 tons of coal.
Bottom of the vessel quarter of an inch thick ;
sides 3-16 inch thick. Gross weight, when built,
and wooden decks laid, 16 tons ; tonnage 56,
including engine-room. Schooner-rigged, like
the allOrra. Commanded by Mr. Joseph Hill.
N. B. The greatest interest has been excited
about this diminutive vessel, as it is certainly a
bold undertaking to navigate the Atlantic in so
small a boat built entirely of iron ! She is in-
tended to explore the Tschadda and other tri-
butary streams of the Niger.
Columbine—Merchant brig of 176 tons, com-
manded by Mr. Miller. This vessel conveys a
considerable cargo of coal, and a very curious in-
vestment of goods for trading with the natives.
Her bill of lading would, indeed, have furnished
a most ludicrous assortment of articles, from a
penny whistle to a kingly crown !

The expedition was detained at Milford seve-
ral days, waiting the arrival of Mr. Lander, but
as the wind blew steadily at north, on the 24th
of July, Mr. Laird despatched the Columbine
and Alburkah for Port Maya, in the Cape de
Verds, that being the first place of rendezvous.
A day or two after, Lander arrived in a fishing-
boat from Ilfracombe, and in an hour the
Quorra put to sea, bearing with her the hearty
good wishes of every spectator.
It is Mr. Laird's intention to proceed in the
first instance to Port Praya, where he hopes to
meet with the Commander-in-Chief of the Afri-
can station, who has orders to render him assist-
ance. From thence they go to Cape Coast, to
take on board some Kroomen negroes to cut
wood in going up the Niger. Finally, they
enter the Niger, and dash on at once to Boussa,
opening communications for a trade in gold dust,
palm oil, and ivory, by the way. The Alburkah
will explore, meanwhile, all the principal tribu-
taries of the Niger ; and it is not altogether be-
yond possibility but she may find a way through
the Tschadda, Shary, or some other water, into
Lake Tschad, in the centre of the African con-
tinent—nay, some flatter themselves with the
dream of being able to penetrate into Abyssinia
and the Red Sea, by rivers running out of Lake
Tschad in an easterly direction. What would
be the astonishment of the good people of Bom-
bay should this cockle-shell of a vessel—not
larger than the boiler of Whitbread's brewery—
and built of iron, force her way through the
centre of Africa, and so on by the Red Sea and
Straits of Babel Mandeb to Socotra and the
coast of Malabar ! Let this vision terminate as
it may, the attempt deserves success; and that
the whole of the spirited individuals by whom it
has been undertaken will be rewarded by the
fullest realization of their most sanguine hopes,
is the sincere prayer of one who with difficulty
restrained the desire to quit wife, family, and
friends to embark with the wanderers composing
the African expedition

NOTICE TO MARINERS.—WRECK OFF

WASHINGTON, AUG. 20.—From Kentucky,
our present information leaves us entirely in doubt of the
result of the election for Governor. Of the election of
Mr. MORE!' EA D, the republican candidate for Lieutenant-
Governor, no doubt is entertained. His m ijority will be
found to he sever kl thousands. In the Senate, we have
elected not le.,s than 23 CLAY members to 15 JACKSON ;
Ind in the new Howe of Itlaresentatives our majority will
be from 14 to 20, if not more. Only two years ago the
JACKSON party had the majority of the Legislature. We
forbear to publish any of the returns of the election for
Governor until we can have something certain concerning
it, which will probably be before the close of the week.—

IMPOSSIBLE To HAVE TOO MUCH OF A
Goon THlNG.—Married, on Monday week, at Goose-
nargh, Mr. THOMAS SMITH, of ING LEWHITE, to Mrs.
PARKINSON, of the Field foot, in Goosenargh. The bride
is in her 64th year, has given birth to twenty-seven
children ! The bridegroom is the same age, and is the
father of twenty-three! This is the seventh time of his
appearance at the hymeneal al ar—four times at the
church, and three at the Roman Catholic chapel.—Durn
fries Courier.

COACH ACCIDENT.-The Portpatrick mail
was overact on starting from Gatehouse on Thursday last.
CRAIG, Esq., was thrown from the roof, and had his
!eft arm dislocated at the shoulder. His daughter had
her lice seriously cut, and several others of the outside
passengers met with contusions and bruises. The acci-
dent having been occasioned by the viciousness of the
hones, and the coach having been much injured, the
passengers refused to proceed by it, and were forwarded in
two post-chaises.

FATAL ACClDENT.—Yesterday afternoon,
about 4 o'clock, as WILLIAM HAYTHORN, Esq., who re-
sides in the Walworth-road, was proceeding in his ca-
briolet at a moderate pace, in Blackinan-street, Borough,
the horse suddenly took fright, and darting forward, in a
manner that deprived Mr. HAYTIMILN of all power over
him, came in contact with a poor labourer, named DA-
NIEL FITZIIENRY, who happened to be crossing the road
at the time•, and injured him so seriously by a violent
kick on the head, that he expired instantly. Mr. HAY-
THORN was thrown out of the cab! kart, and was con-
veyed, much injured, to his lodging•. The remains of
the unfortunate deceased were taken to the Drake's Head,
lalackman-street.

Yesterday morning, between 8 and 9 o'clock,
a carman, named WILLIAM MAscALL, in the employ of
Mr. Minor:, of Upper Thames-street, warehousemen,
was walking by the side of a waggon, drawn by three
horses, along Penden-street, City-road, when he was ob-
served to stagger forward, and catch hold of the shafts to
support himself ; he seemed to be suddenly seized with a
swimming in the head, and two or three persons were in
the act of running to his assistance when he let go his
hold, and stink in an insensible state to the ground, and,
before the II( rses could be stopped, one of the forewheels
passed over the upper part of his chest, crushing his
shoulder and breast bones in a most horrible manner. He
was immediately conveyed to St, Bartholomew's Hospitals
but his death wae momentarily expected,

DONCASTER MEETING.

TUESDAY NIGHT.

Oar last report was brought up to nine o'clock on Mon-
day night, at which time the Lud/ou, panic had, to all
appearance, subsidsd. It seems, however, that we had
reckoned without our host ; for at eleven o'clock it re-
commenced, and continued, with greater violence thin
ever, to a late hour. The Fang party were again hauled
over the cools, and divers accusations and assertions were
made, which sufficiently
expressed the general feeling.
The Babel-like confusion at length bscame so annoying to
several noblemen present, that a Noble Marquis suggested
to the disputants the propriety of adjourning their differ-
ences or settling them elsewhere; and that any suspected
foul-play would with greater propriety be referred to the
Stewards than made the subject of personal discussion.
His Lordship added, that if such discreditable proceedings
were persisted in, it would be qui'e impossible that any
nobleman or gentleman could give his support to the races;
and that he, for ole, should withdraw his name from them,
if an entirely-different and more straight-forward system
was not adopted. We give the purport of the Noble
Lord's speech, which had the effect of silencing the noise.
Subsequent to this, cox of the Stewards called upon Mr.
Bond, the new purchaser of Ludlow, to declare what his
intentions were respecting him, the Noble Lord giving as
his reason for putting the question, that the extraordin try
price given had naturally . xcited their attention. The
party applied to declared that it was his intention to run
the horse to win ; but, without entering into the question
as to whether such was the case or not, we will venture to
say that there was not a person in the room who did not
believe that the horse was bona fide the property of the
prrties reported to have purchased him originally ; and, in
corroboration of this opinion, he at once disappeared from
the betting, although well known to be in the best racing
condition. To bring this unpleasant subject to a close—
no one can for a moment doubt that the Doncaster races
have received a blow from this business (whether fair or
otherwise) that they can never recover ; for which they
have to thank two or three persons, who have, on more
than one occ ision, earned for themselves a notoriety by no
means to be envied.

We will now take up the business of to-day. Through-
out the morning the streets were thronged with people of
the middle class, chiefly farmers and tradesmen from
Leeds, York, Sheffield, and other places contiguous to
Doncaster; of fashionables the muster was more select
than numerous, nor was there any display of equipages as
formerly. In every respect there was a marked falling
off, owing as much to the general depression of the titn..s
as to the mischievous trickery of the saints of this town,
who, not content with their ridiculous custom of sticking
Scriptural quotations all over the place, have been very
industrious for some time past in circulating a report that
the cholera was in the town, and this in the teeth of offi-
cial documents to the contrary. Notwithstanding all this
the assemblage on the course was very large, and the ap-
pearance of the Grand Stand exceedingly brilliant. The
excitinl circumstances that have signalized the Sr. Leger

Betting-5 to 2 agst. Retainer, 9 to 2 agst. Fang, 8 to
1 apt. Brother to Maria, 8 to 1 agst. Margrave, 10 to 1
agst. Birdcatcher, 10 to 1 agst. Byzantium, 15 to 1 agst.
Physician, 16 to 1 agst. Trustee, 15 to 1 agst. Nitocris,
20 to 1 agar. Julius, and 20 to 1 agst. Ludlow. When
the jockeys were assembled in the weighing room to re-
ceive the customary instructions from Mr. Lockwood, it
was discovered that two had weighed for that mischief•
making horse, Ludlow, viz., G. Boast, by order of Mr.
Bond, and E. Wright, on account of Flintoff, Mr. Beards-
worth's trainer, who had retained the horse in his stable,
was reported to have hacked him, and was determined to
have a jockey he could rely upon. An attempt by the
other party to shift the jockey was promptly repulsed.
After the horses had taken the usual gallop before the
Stand, they met at the starting post, and at the word
go," all went off except Ludlow, Physician, and Fang;
the second attempt was successful, and was admirably ma-
naged. Roue made first running, Mr. Powlett's filly
being second, Carlton third, and Birdcatcher fourth.
Trustee, Fang, Retainer, Margrave, and Julius, lying in a
cluster behind. Going a very poor pace, they observed
this order of running to the Red House, where some shift-
ing of places and an increase of speed were perceptible. Roue
dropped off, and Mr. Powlatt's filly went " to the fore"—
Birdcatcher became second—Julius showed in front for
a moment—Margrave, from about eighth, advanced to
the fourth position—and Physician got amongst the lead-
ing horses. In a fast run race tire tailing generally begins
at the Red House, but the pace was so bad, that none
were beaten off till near the rails, where Ludlow was the
first to cry peravi. The crack Newmarket nag, Byzan-
tium, was the next to give up, and then Carlton. To
return to the Red House--Mr. Powleit'a filly kept the
lead to the rails, where Birdcatcher went up, ran a few
strides with her, and beat her at the distance ; in the
meantime Margrave, who was ridden with extraordinary
talent by James Robinson, had been stealing upon them,
anti no sooner had Birdcatcher shaken off the mare than he
discovered a new and more dangerous opponent at his
side. Callaway was shaking his horse, while Robinson
was gently moving his, till he got up with Bircatcher.—
This took place near the Grand Stand, and now the aupe-
rioriy of jockeyship was decisive. Margrave continued
to improve his advantage, and won cleverly by about
three quarters of a length; Mr. Powlett's filly and Phy-
siciaa came in close together, the filly being third by nut

more than a !Hail ; Richmond was fifth, Retainer sixth,
mid Julius seventh. As we before observed, the pace was
wretched till after the Red House, when it increased, and
at the rail was very strong. Value of the stakes 2,2051.
The settling takes place to-morrow.

DONCASTER, WEDNESDAY 'MORNING.

The settling for the St. Leger is expected to go off
quietly, as Margrave is looked upon as a harmless horse
in the betting. The Fing party are heavy losers. Mr.
Gully is a great winner, but, generally speaking, the ba-
lances are very small. Margrave has been backed against
Lord Exeter's Beiram for the Claret (at Newmarket) at
evens to a large amount.
