LONDON,
THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 22, 1832.

No further intelligence has been received from
Belgium, nor can any be expected until to-
morrow, as Marshal GERARD was not to sum-
Mon the citadel of Antwerp before yesterday
morning, or late on Tuesday night. Such is the
information brought by a Spanish courier, with
despatches from the Belgian Minister, dated on
he morning of the 20th. It was understood
t hat Marshal GERARD would allow Gene-
' al CHASSE twenty-four hours for his an-
swer; so that it could not be known until
1 ast night, even supposing the summons
t o have been made in the night of the
20th, whether the Dutch Commander would
hold out or not. Every thing indicated his
ntention of refusing to obey the summons ;
:Ind as it was by no means probable that the
't'ench Commander-in-Chief would allow fig-
t her time to enable CHASSE to communicate
with his Government,—the intentions of the
French having been made sufficiently known
'tt the Hague,—hostilities would commence
t his day, unless the citadel surrendered.
these, however, would, in the first instance,
lie confined to the Dutch outposts, as it
Would require four or five days to prepare
the trenches for a regular siege. By the
27th every thing was to be ready for operations
on a large scale; and here, perhaps, has arisen the
error of the Brussels Correspondents of the
Morning Papers, who state that hostilities were
lint to commence before that time. We have
t'eason to believe that if the citadel has nut been
already surrendered, the French army have this
day given other indications of the work which
t hey have in hand than mere menaces ; and in
he course of to-morrow we may expect the news.

The following letter, dated Antwerp, Nov.
20, has been received in town this morning :
" Yesterday the Dukes of Orleans and Nemours arrived
"'fore the gates of this city, and proceeded by the village
:,Bergerhout to the village of Mercieu at the head of the
°tll regiment of the line and the Lancers of Nemours.
1 they have established their head-quarters at the latter vil-
age, where it is supposed Marshal Gerard, who was yes.
terday at the country house of Baron Osy, will also repair.
the following troops passed through Alalines:-28,427
14funtry, and 8,236 horse ; passed through Boom, 14,552
Irlfantry, and 4,277 horse. Total, 42,872 infantry, and
12,513 cavalry.
• " Yesterday morning all the Belgian posts were relieved
6Y the French, the whole line round the citadel. None
of the French troops have, however, entered the town. It
la rumoured that Marshal Gerard was last night in this
town, and that the question would be made to General
'retard, if he would consider the town as neutral ? Should
th
, case, however, be contrary, that 10,000 troops were
enter the town and replace the Belgians, who were to
''aeuate. Several persons believe in this, especially as
efts of the French officers make mention of the difficulty
of attacking the citadel outwards."

Extract from the agent to Lloyd's at Antwerp,
slated Nov. 20 :
" The navigation continues uninterrupted, and all ves-
v
,„"' are allowed to sail through the Dutch gun-boais."

We have given copious extracts from the
French Papers of Tuesday in another part of
\lie Sun. All accounts concur in stating that
t7' DUPIN will be elected to the Presidency of
le Chamber of Deputies.
It now appears that the assassin, or mock-
assassin, who fired at Louis PHILIP has
effected his escape ! This simple fact has
awakened a world of suspicion in Paris.

The contents of the Brussels papers, received
this morning, almost all refer to the movements
f the French and Belgian troops. It appears
'Y the accounts from the Hague, that the Se-
oticl Chamber of the States General were not
4() unanimous in voting the supplies for war
as we were led to believe by previous reports.
The numbers were 24 to 12 and 31 to 15,
Io that one-third at least of the Senators were
t ,°/* peace. Perhaps in a week two-thirds will
'e of that opinion :
