FLANDERS MAIL.

BRUSSEL% JULY 2.—We le.rn from a highly rempera-
Me yaw ter, that on the 29th June, were received at Paris
" the dispensation of his Holiness, authorising and legiti-
mating in its religious of eta, the marriage of the Princess
Louisa of Orleans to his Majesty the King of the Bel-
gians." This is the manner in which the Court of Rome

designates, and cone, quently recognises the King in the
official document in question.
An Austrian Cabinet messenger, who arrived yesterday
morning from Vienna, with despatches for our Govern-
ment, set out again in the afternoon for London, with
despatches from his Majesty King Leopold.
Generals Desprez and Alagnan, accompanied by some
officers, h,ve made a reconnoissance towards Maestricht.
General D.eprez returned to Brussels yesterday afternoon.
B3.—We learn indirectly that already,
so t h. s A
on thh,-Ir3sEi ,JULYt-tllast, 4,056 families in this city, consist-
ing of 16,224 persons, had received weekly relief from the
King. _ . .

In the sitting of the S-nate, yesterday, the pro-
jects of law on the army of reserve and the vote
of credit of 4,400,000 florins, and on the orga-
nization of the courts of justice, were referred to the com-
mittees. Baron de Loe, our Minister to the Court of
Vienna, will leave Brussels very shortly.
An Engish cabinet tness.nger passed through this city
yesterday with despatches from London for Berlin. He
also brought despatches for Sir Robert Adair. The Cham-
ber of Representatives commenced yesterday the discussion
of the project of law on the creation of a civil and military
order. Several members spoke against the institution of
a civil order.

(Extract from a private Letter.)
TONGRES, JUNE 30.—1 t seems that our hopes will
not be disappointed. The Government at length under-
stands our situation. The blockade of Maastricht is
final y resolved on ; Gen.rals Desprez and Magnan
are gone to examine the ground. Some troops
have already passed the Meuse, for the purpose of
commencing the blockade. I doubt not that we
shall soon find reason to rejoice at the determina-
tion of the Government. The moment for blockading
the fortress is well chosen, as the magazines are neirly ex-
hausted, and the forage will shortly be all consumed. Un-
fortunately the citizens will be the first sufferers. If the
blockade is vigorously maintained, it will undoubtedly lead
to either the surrender of that place, or the evacuation of
the citadel of Antwerp, or an attack by the Dutch. Any
one of these events would tend towards a conclusion which
the country most ardently desires.—Brussels Papers,
July 4.
VIENNA, JUNE 23.—There is much agitation on
Change to-day. The funds are filling considerably. It
is reported that bid news has been received from Paris ;
that the French Government has summoned the King of
the Netherlands to evacuate the citadel of Antwerp ►,y the
15th of July, with the intimation that, in case of his re-
fusal, it would be obliged to use force. Many persons
consider this as an indirect declaration of war, as, front the
well known character of King William, it is not to be ex•
pected that he will readily submit to an arbitrary demand ;
it is not likely he will be induced to agree to the evacuation,
except through the intervention of the Conference. Perhaps
the whole account is rather premature, for the evacuation of
the citadel, and the mode of it, was treated of in a preceding
protocol of the Conference, without any peremptory d"
eision respecting the time. The fall in our funds may,
therefore, arise from financial causes, as it is said the
French contemplate another loan of some hundred milli_
ons. In this cAe, it is likely the Chambers will soon be
convoked, which, indeed, to judge by letters from Paris,
it appears they will he, in order to enact laws for the re-
striction of the Press.

Their 11I.jesties the Emperor and Empress are every
where welcomed, on their journey,with enthusiasm; every
where they leave behind them proofs of Imperial benefi-
cence, justice, and paternal regard for their faithful sub
jects, and receive the most affecting testimonies of devoted
attachment.

His Royal Highness the Duke of Modena and General
Radetzky waited on his Majesty at B lluno. On the 18th
inst., their Imperial Majesties left Trieste, after a stay of
fourteen days, accotnp inied by the blessings of the inha-
bitants, and went to Codroipo, where they passed the
night, intending to proceed by way of Belluno to Brixen
and Inspruck. —Allgemeine Zeitung, June 29.

SUICIDE FROM DIS TRESS.—Yegerdity an
inquest was he d a, the Red Lion, Shoe•lane, liolh,rn, on
the hotly of Mr. J. LurTort, aged 50. Deceased was a
few years ago a very opulent butcher in Woolwich, but
from unfortunate circumstances he became reduced. To
add to his sorrows his wife eloped from him. For some
time past be has lived on the contributions of his friends,
at a mean lodging in Fetter.lane. On Monday evening
he procured a quantify of laudanum, which having
swallowed caused his de ith. The following letter was
found on the table in his bed-room, addressed to Mr.
PROSSER, landlord of the Salutation and Cat, Newgate.
market.:—

" Sunday, June 10, 1832.

" I write these few lines to inform you of the state of
my mind horn the treatment I have received from a party
I need not mention, the thoughts of which I cannot
banish from my breast ; that, coupled with my present
afflictions, is past all enduring; therefore I am compelled
to have recourse to desperate means to relieve me from my
present sufferings ; and the idea of being compelled to be-
come a burden to a parish is more than I can bear—it is
too much for me. I hope God will forgive me, and also
the party that has been the sole cause of driving nie to such
rash measures. Adieu, my best wishes to yourself and
family is all I can 'ay more.
" Yours, Sm. in great distrtss,
LUPTON.

THIS EVENING.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.

Tie Hon. W. PONSON BY took the oaths and his seal
for Knireshorough, in the room of Sir James Maeintosi,

Mr. Roberts-n, of the office of Woods and Forests, ap-
peared at the Bir with the Ninth Annual Report of the
Holyhead Roads.

Mr. BEAUMONT rose to present a petition from the
Political Union of North Shields, signed by the Chairman,
but was interrupted by the Speaker, who said, as it was
signed by only one individual, and purported to come from
a body, it could not be received. No one person could
speak for a body unless it was in the Parliamentary way,
end had a common sell attached to it.

Mr. BEAUMONT then presented a petition from cer.
tain Peers and Commoners, the proprietors and les,ees of
coal mines on the Tyne and Wear, praying the House to
appoint a Committee to ir,qoire into the causes of the vio-
lence committed by the colliers.
Tne petition was ordered to he printed.

Mr. WILKS presented a petition from the parish of-
ficers of Tottenham High Cross, in the county of Middle-
agai, st the Bill for amending the laws regarding
poor persons born in Scotland, Ireland, and the Isle of
Man. He implored the Hon. Member for Nottingham-
shire, who brought in the Bill, not to pass it without
making some very material alterations in it.
Lord MORPETH had received a communication from
the Hon. Member for Nottinghamshire, to the effect that
he would not press his Bill during the present session, nor
indeed at all, without introducing a clause, limiting the
liability of parishes to the providing Irish poor with relief,
as casual paupers. That would obviate a very important
objection to the Bill.

The petition was ordered to be printed.
Mr. MILKS presented a petition from Parsonstown, i❑
the King's County, praying for the ab ilition of the punish-
ment of death in all eases of forgery. The petition was
signed by the Lord Lieutenant of the County, besides
several of the magistracy any clergy.
Toe petition was ordered to to printed.
Mr. MILKS then presented a petition from a Benefit
Society, held at the White Hart Inn, in the county, for an
alteration in the Friendly Society Laws, and complaining
of the troub e and exp-nse attending the re-enrolment
of their regulations at the quarter sessions.
Mr. HU%IE was of opinion that it was impolitic to
legislate upon such a subject. He had letters every day
srating that Friendly Societies were being broken up in
consequence of the state of the existing law. He thought
those slide ies should be allowed to man ige their own
funds wi hout any legislative interference, as they were
the best judges of their own interests.

Mr. BRISCOE thought there was much misapprehen-
sion on this sutoject. It was generally believed that a
society must employ an attorney and counsel at the
(peter sessions in order to get the rules enroled, and cer-
tainly in such cases the lawyer's bill would amount to
a serious 811111, but the fact was the the Societies might
enrol their rules themselves by applying to the Sessions, at
an expense ofunly 23-. He hoped that this fact would be
sew forth by those gerylemen t o whom the public were so
much indebted, he meant the public press.
After a few words from Mr. Gissoßtirx the petition
was (ordered to be printed.
Mr. VERNON presented a petition from Derby in favour
of an increased allowance to Coroners.

Sir M. W. RIDLEY thought the case of Coroners
was well deserving of attention, and th it an extension
might fairly be made of their allowances for travelling.
Mr. HUNIE did not see any necessity for the increase
of the salaries of Coroners, when individuals would come
forwa'd and expend thousands, for the purpose of obtains
ing office rigarilli.ss of its emoluments.

Mr. GISBORNI: considered it perfectly clear that Co-
roners received more for the performance of their duty
than their mere salaries. If he thought that would he
put an end to by an increase of their salary, he should he
one of the first to give his is ,nction to such a measure.
Mr. HUNT thought if Coroners did their duty they
were not overpaid. He hoped a Bill would be introduced
to compel them to perform it.
Mr. STRICKLAND hoped the Bill which had been
introduced would materially decrease the expense attendant
up .n the election of coroners.

The petition was then ordered to be printed.
Mr. D. BROWNE present d a petition from a parish
in Mayo, praying for the tot abolition of tithes. The
Hon. Member could not concur with the prayer of the pe•
tition, believing that if tithes mere abolished they would
sink into the pockets of the land:ords. lie thought
tithes ought not to be abolished without compensation.
After a few words from Mr. RunivEN and Mr. ff.
GRATTAN, he petition was ordered to be printed.
Mr. W. ELLIS prt-sente I a petition from Leicester, in
favour of a full measure of Rvloriii for Ireland.

Mr. H. ROSs presented a petition from Benf, in favour
of Burgh Reform in Scotland. He was very glad to
see the Honourable Member for Devonshire (Lord John
Russell) in his place. lie had taken such a prominent
part in the cause of Parliamentary R-form, that he (Mr.
Ross) had hopes he would now turn his attention to the
subject of this petition, which was scarcely less necessary.
Mr. DUNDAS hoped that the Municipal Government
of Scotland would not be interfered with unless a full in-
quiry was instituted into the whole of the Corporations of
England and Ireland.
Mr. FERGUSON considered that it would be a matter
of course that the Scotch burgh laws would be altered
when the Reform Bill passed.
Mr. HUME was astonished to hear the remarks of the
Hon. Member for Edintuurgh. The Scotch borough sys-
tem of government already stood condemned by the report
of a Select Coininitt.e of that House. _

After a few words from Mr. Paget, Mr. C. Pelham,
Mr. A. Johnson, an i Sir C. Forbes, the petition was
ordered to be printed.
Mr. S. RICE obtained leave to bring in a Bill to add
certain names to the list of Land Tax Comtnissioners.—
Read a first time, and ordered to be printed.
On the Order of the Day fur the Punishment of Death
Abolition Bill being read,
Sir J. HOBHOUSE, in answer to a question from Mr.
Hunt, said, that an application having been made to him
by the relatives of Somerville for his discharge, he had
some communication with the Commander-in-Chief. The
answer to him was, that it was most probable his dis-
charge would he made out in a few days.
The Order of the Day for taking into consideration the
Lords' Amendments to the Abolition of Death Bill, was
then read, on the notion of Mr. EwAar.
Mr. SHAW untlerbtood that the discussion on these
amendments was put off last night, on the understanding
that they would be negatived to-day without a division,
and a conference had on the subject with the Lords.
The SPEAKER said, he perhaps was the best able to
explain how the case stool. He did not understand that
the consideration of the amendments wrs put off at all on
the understanding mentioned by the Hun. Member ; but
that the amendments being brought under the considera
tion of the House at a late hour, it was thought better
that they should be discussed at an earlier hour, and in a
fuller House.

After a few words from Mr. HUME, Mr. W. WyNx,
and Mr. STEPHENSON,
-

Lord ALTHORP said that if he thought a conference
with the Lords would be the means of losing the Bill, he
would agree with the amendments, though he thought
them objectionable.
Tne amendments of the Lords to clauses A, B, and C,
were ven read seriatim.

Sir R. PEEL did not feel opposed to the principle of
the amendments, but they were worded very vaguely, and
would probably defeat their object. He suggested the pro-
oriety of dissenting altogether from them, and at some
future time, and at a more fitting opportunity, a new Bill
could be introduced, fur the purpose of more effectually
carrying the proposed amendments into operation.
Mr EWART, under the circumstances, would not
press the Lords' amendments on the House.

The amendments were then sever dly put and nega-
ived.

A Committee was then appointed to draw up the rea-
,ona to be off, red in a conference with the Lords for dis-
agreeing with the amendments. The Committee with-
drew fur that purpose.
MESSAGE FROM THE LORDS.
message from the Lords announced that their Lord-

:hips had aeteed to severs! B:11s, among which were thi
Gloucester Canal Bill, and the General Cemetery Bill.
Mr. GOULBURN wished to ask the Right Thtt.
Gentleman odposite, whether, on the presentation 0.
,he Rev. Mr. Plunkett, which had lately taken place,
to the Deanery Of Down, the recommendations of the E
elesiastical Commissioners had beer] acted on. The Deaner
consisted of six separate Rectories—one of the valu
f 12,0001., and the others varying from 1501. to 5001.
per annum. As the population of Protestants was consider
a de, it was recommended that some arrangement should be
m die by forming them into six separate benefices. On a
former occasion he had asked this question, but the
Lord Chancellor of Ireland not being then in this country,
the Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Stanley) had not been
ibie to acquire the means of correctly ascertaining the
facts. He hoped, however, that the arrival of the Noble
Lord in this country had afforded the Right Hon. Gen
tleman an opportunity of consulting him, and that a satis-
factory answer could now be given.
Mr. STANLEY entirely weed with the general prin-
ciple of the recommendation ; but from the extremely v.ilu-
rninous documents connected with this case his Ma.
j -sty's Government had not been able to advert to
it at the time of the presentation. The present
Dean of Don had gi,ren up a living of considerably
eteater value, but he was authoriz,d to state, although it
might occasions still further surrender of income, that
the present incumbent would have no objecrion that the
Legislature should carry into effect the step proposed by
the Conunissi,iners. And Government, he thought, were
bound to comply with their recommendation.

Alderman WOOD wished to know whether the Court
of Inquiry had been instituted in relation to the Court-
marti,tl on the private Somerville.
Lord ALTHORP stated, in answer, that the Com-
mander-in-Chief was about to institute a Court of Inquiry
into the circumstances of that court martial, and he could
assure the Hon. Member that that court would be so con-
stituted, and its proceedings so conducted, as to give satis-
faction to the public.—(Hear.)
Nlr. HUME withdrew the notice which he had given
of a motion which he had intended to have brought for-
ward on Tuesday next.
Sr J. HOBHOUSE moved that the petition which
had been presented in relation to the inquiry into the
case of Somerville be printed. It was of great importance
that the C tort of Inquiry should be i❑ possessi,tn of that
document.

Mr. ROBINSON wished to ask the Noble Lord op.
polite, at wh•,.se ex,ense, and at whose orders that splendid
toy, the ft irate to the King of Prussia had been ordered.
Lord ALT HORP could only say that no order for any
thing of the kind had been given by the Treasury.
Mr. DIXON wished to know in what state the island
of St. Lucie had been placed by the order in council. It
appeered that a state of the greatest commercial distress
prevailed in that island.

Lord HOWICK said there had been no accounts
of a recent date received from St. Lucie, hut when the
last came away the factories were not in operation.
Lord ALTHORP then moved the order of the day for
the House to resolve into a Committee of Supply.
