R. Adair has protested against an expression in this ad-
dress. The Marshal tells his army that Holland, by not
conforming to the arbitration of the five Powers, and by
refusing to execute the decisions of the Conference, has
by that circumstance declared war against the Powers,
and that France and England have taken up the gauntlet
thus thrown down by the Dutch.
Sir R. Adair affirms that England does not make war
on Holland ; that there is a great difference between coer-
cive measures, tending to the execution of a treaty, and
war, tending to the invasion of the territory, and some-
times to the overthrow of the state ; that the difference
between the results of war and of coercive measures shows
that war is not intended, at least on the part of England.
The grand headquarters of the Belgian army will be
fixed at Lierre, on the 18th. The head-quatters of the
several divisions are now as follows :

First division at Diest ; second at Herrenthals ; third
at Tirlement ; fourth at Terveuren.

The van-guard of the French army, which arrived yes-
terday evening, is to march this morning to Malines.
The following is the arrangement for the passage of the
French troops through Malines :

Rogier, Minister of the interior, has been re-elected
Deputy by the district of Turnhout : out of 156 he had 145.
BRUSSELS, Nov. I9.—The Duke of Orleans and Ne-
mours left yesterday, with the Van Guard for Milines.
The head-quarters of the Doke of Orleans are now at
Contich, and are going to be fixed at Merxem beyond
Antwerp, where they will probably remain during the
siege. Marshal Gerard will be there this evening.
A Belgian Cabinet Messenger set out yesterday after-
noon with despatches for London.

A number of officers of the staff of the French army set
out yesterday, in different directions, and aho estafettes.

The Courrier Belge says, "according to all appearance,
the first operations against the Citadel of Antwerp, will
not begin in less than eight or ten days. Marshal Gerard
has declared that he will make no proclamation to his army
till it is all assembled before the Citadel, and till he has re-
ceived his final instructions from Paris."

The protest of Sir R. Adair was against a
passage in the proclamation of General Evain. It does
not appear that Marshal Gerard has yet made any procla-
mation.

Yesterday evening (says the Gazette of the province of
Luxemburg), an express from Luxemburg brought three
despatches to General Tabor. Two hours afterwards a
courier was despatched from Arlon to Brussels. One of
the despatches relates to M. Pescatore. The Diet de-
mands that he shall he released in eight days, promising
that M. Thorn shall be immediately set at liberty.
Prussia❑ troops are continually passing through Gre-
nenmacher, coming from or going to Luxemburg. It is
observed that the garrison of that fortress is gradually
increasing.

From 15,000 to 20,000 Prussian troops are expected at
Cologne in a few days.
BRUSSELS, Nov. 16.—The day before yesterday the
King gave audience in the morning to Marshal Gerard
and General Desprez, and transacted business with Ge-
nerals Goblet and Evain.

The deputation of the Senate will to-day present to
the King the address in answer to the speech from the
:hrone.

The day before yesterday, despatches from Paris ren-
dered a conference necessary between the King, Marshal
Gerard, and General Evain. Immediately after this
conference, expresses were despatched from the Palace to
General Hurel, at Diest ; General Gcethals, at Tirle-
ment ; General Duvivier, at Liene.
The Union has the following article :—" It is said
that despatches of great importance were received by
the Government the day before yesterday; they made
several conferences necessary between the King and
Marshal Gerard, who has also had several conferences
with the Ministers ; whether they relate to the best mea-
sures to he taken before beginning the siege, or whether
some incident has occurred to render the situation of our
Ministry still more embarrassing, it is certain that on
Sunday and Monday there were many communications
backwards and forwards between our Ministers and the
French and English Ambassadors."
The Courrier says 1—" The news that a considerable
number of Prussian troops is assembling on our frontiers
is confirmed by depatches received yesterday evening by
the Government, and at the head-quarters of Marshal
Gerard. Crevel and Aix-la-Chapelle are the chief places
of rendezvous of these troops which thus threaten not
only the province of Limburg, but that of Liege. The
French Government is said to have lately advised our Go-
vernment to put the citadel of Liege in a respectable state
of defence."

General Evain returned last night from a tour in East
and West Flanders. General Desprtz, who set out for
Antwerp yesterday morning, was expected to return last
night, and will finally leave Brussels to-day for the head-
quarters, fixed for the present at Lierre.

nix HAGUE, Nov. 18.—On the 17th the Second
Chamber of the States-General voted the financial laws
for 1833 ; that of the expenditure by 24 votes to 12 ;
those in the ways and means, the ordinary taxes, and
the forced loan, by 31 to 15 ; and that after the Minister
of Finance had given the assurance that the Government,
in union with the nation, would merit the approbation of
posterity ! In this sitting the same Minister being asked
whether the citadel of Antwerp would be evacuated, anti
whether the 2d ban of the militia (schuttery) would be
called out, answered, that the point in question now was,
not the discussion of one or more articles of the treaty,
but that the object was the humiliation of the Nether-
lands; that at the present moment force must be opposed
to force ; and that we must endeavour to retain what we
have ; that the evacuation of the citadel was considered
as a measure of coercion, which would be succeeded by a
second, that by a third, &c.
As fur the 2d ban of the civic guard, he would not say
whether it would be called out in twu, three, or four days,
but he could, however, state that his Majesty had this
very day signed a financial decree to give more energy to
the measures' that may be adopted for calling this ban into
action ; the King having received the faculty of doing this
if necessary.

BRUSSELS, Nov. 19.—There is something not quite
clear in this affair of the intervention, viz., that the French
army, which at first was to he of only 30,000 men, is
now above 75,000 men, including 15,000 cavalry. Of
what use is this cavalry to besiege 4,000 or 5,000 men in
their citadel ? Are their sallies feared ? Or is some
other contingency foreseen against which it is necessary to
take precautions ?
One thing, however, cannot be doubted, in the midst of
all this uncertainty ; it is, that if we have not the honour
of taking the citadel of Antwerp ourselves, we shall at
least be allowed to see it taken, and to pay the expense of
the show.—Brussels Papers, Nov. 19.

We have Jamaica Papers to the 4th of
October. Some display of bad feeling had been
exhibited at Savannah-le-Mar, but nothing se-
rious. The prorogation of the House of Assem-
bly l•had been further extended to October 30.

We learn by the advices from New Orleans to
the end of September, that the city was very
sickly, and there was no doubt the yellow fever
was prevailing to a very considerable extent, and
that even some creoles and acclimated persons
had been attacked. As, however, the season
was far advanced, it was hoped the sickness
would not be of long duration.

We have commercial advices from Calcutta
to the 25th of June. Business remained in the
same dull state as at the previous advices, and
the indigo prospects continue to promise well.
The market was not very largely supplied with
silk, or silk piece goods, and prices were steady.
Rice was in some request for England. Piece
goods were without any improvement, but
woollens were in rather better demand, although
the price was without alteration. Cotton twist
effected but small sales, as the holders were look-
ing for higher prices. There was great back-
wardness in the purchase of all metals ; and
copper, iron, and spelter were rather lower. A
large supply of ale had been received, and the
prices had materially given way. Wines also did
not find ready sale. The Exchange and freight
were unaltered. During the month of May,
