the Minister for Foreign Affairs at the Hague, granting
pertnision to the yachts belonging. to its members to enter

granted by the French Government, through Admiral the
Count DE RIGNY, the Minister of Marine and the Colonies

IMPORTANT TO THE LIVERYMEN AND
ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF LONDON.

We understand that in the lists of the Liverymen of the
several Companies now exhibiting in the Guildhall and
Royal Exchange, that some 400 or 500 names of Livery-
men resident within the seven miles, are omitted princi-
pally because they have not sent in their names and ad-
dresses to the Clerks of the Companies to which they
belong, as required by them. We recommend to the
Livery to inspect the lists exhibited, and any finding their
names omitted, to send in their claim to be inserted in the
lists, on or before the 25th, or they will lose the elective
franchise at the next general election. Notice of claim
must he sent to the clerk of the Company, and also to the
returning officer at the Secondaries' Office, Basingliall-
street. We also call the attention of the Householders to
examine the lists exhibited in the various parishes of the
Ci ty.
To Partners in Firms.—Each partner c-n claim to be
registered where the premises are of the annual value of
101. to each, and the rates and taxes paid to the 6th of
April, but many partners' names will be found omitted.
To Joint Occupiers.—Each person occupying premises
where they do not at present pay the rates, if the part of
the premises they occupy is of the net rental of 101. per
annum, can claim to lie rated to the poor snd registered,
provided they pay or tender the amount of any rates due
up to the 6th of April last on those premises. These claims
must be sent on or before the 25th to the overseers of the
parish within which the premises are situated.
The constituency of the City is yet comparatively small,
we do, therefore, hope these observations will induce the
persons interested to avail themselves of the remaining time.

The Duchess de COIGNY, mother-in-law of
General SEBASTIANI, died a few days ago. It is siid that
gold to the amount of 500,000 f. was found in her apart-
ment.

Lady G. BULKELEY continues alarmingly ill
at the Bedford Hotel, at Leamington, attended with unre-
mitting care by Dr. JErtisoN and Dr. FRANKLIN. An
express was sent off in the middle of the night by Mrs.
L. Fox to Sir FL HALFORD.

During the canvass of Mr. GARNETT among
the electors of Salford, he and his friends called at a huck-
ster's shop, in which was only a boy, who, having learned
their business, went to the foot of the stairs, and called to
his mother who was above, " Mother, here's a mon es
wants yo't vote for him t' be a Parliament mon."
" Well," shouted his mother, " tell him thy feyther's not
in, hut if he'll chalk his name on the counter, we'll inquire
into his character.

The Dutch engineers have completed their
labours respecting the rail-road to Cologne as far as Am-
rnersford, and are now proceeding further.
Mr. ENEAS MACDONNELL AND Mr.
BUCKINGITAM.-On Friday last a meeting was held at
Sheffield, on the invitation of Mr. MACDON NELL, ex-Catbo•
lic Associa,ion Agent to this country, to hear his opinions
on the subject of the monopoly of the East India Company.
Mr. MACDONNELL spoke at great length, but as he was
sospec,eil of being a hired advocate of the East India
Company, the defence he set up for that body did not meet
with much favour from the good people of Sheffield.
Some of his positions were droll enough, and the
manner in which he knocked down one asser-
tion by another seems greatly to have amused
the audience. For instance, the report in the
Sheffield Iris says, that Mr. MacnoNNar.r. " asserted
that he held in his hand an Act passed in 1824, which
entirely destroyed that monopoly; and he asserted that there
was no portion of India to Which they might not, if they
chose, convey their goods—(Expressions of surprise)---
to be sure, with this provision—it must be done by the
consent of the Indian Government —(General laughter
throughout the meetin.z.)" Mr. BUCKINGHAM having

the affair closed by the following resolution being unani-
mioAuc,nl y o carriedNE NLt, ‘ T
Mr. BUCKINGHAM'S reply, is of opinion that the mono-
poly is indefensible in argument and injurious in its ope-
ration."

SINGULAR ACCIDENT ON BLACKFRIARS
BRIDGE.—This morning, about eleven o'clock, one of
Messrs. ILtitcLAY and PERKINS'S waggons, drawn by
three horses, and heavily laden with iron machinery, was
proceeding over Blackfriars Bridge, to the Brewery on
Bankside, when, on ascending the Bridge, the horses
were fount; not to be sufficiently strong for the burden ;
the consequence was, that the waggon ran back with such
force upon the foot pavement, that a considerable portion
of the stone-work of the Bridge was carried away ; ten or
a dozen of the balustrades were forced into the river, and
fell with a heavy crash upon a new prize wherry that was
lying moored underneath, by which it was cut nearly in
half ; other portions of the stone-work roiled down the
~cps into the water ; and although there were several
watermen near the spot at the time, we are happy to say
that they escaped injury. One of the horses was severely
injured; and had not the fore-wheels been blocked by the
kirb-stone of the bridge, the waggon and horses, together
burden, must inevitably have been precipitated

speed and the working of her engine. The vessel sailed
admirably, and every thing succeeded beyond expectation.
With the engine on board and a supply of coals she does not
draw more than 17 inches water. This vessel was in-
tended to be sent out to India to ply on the Ganges, but
the East India Company, for whose service she was built,
have determined not to send her out, hut to keep her on
their own ships up

'to be towed by the iron steamer, Several of these iron

The following extraordinary bereavement has
occurred in the family of Captain Moira Er. BARBERY, of
Treskerhy, Gwenap. Two sons and four daughters,
whcse ages were respectively 13, 11, 8,7, 4 and 1 year,,
have, within the last fortnight, fallen victims to a most
malignant fever ; and the afflicted parents have now 6nly

children, who but a few weeks since were in the enjoyment
of perfect health.— Cornubiqn.

THE GRAND FALCONER OF ENGLAND.—
A letter from Cheltenham, received yesterday, says,—
" The Duke and Duchess of Sr. ALBANS left us very sud-
denly o❑ Sunday morning, in consequence of his Grace
having received a despatch from the KING, commanding
his attendance at Windsor, where Cumberland Lodge is to
be fitted up for his Grace and suite, as Grand Falconer of
England. His Grace was commanded to bring his hawks
with him to Windsor, to he exhibited at an entertainment
to be given there on the 25th inst. It turned out, how-
ever, that the Grand Fa:coner was not in possession of any
hawks. Inquiries were made for some here, but without
success, and the metropolis was considered the most likely
place to procure them.
M. HYDE DE NEUVILLE, who was one of
the ministers of CHARLES X., has just arrived at Geneva.
where he will be joined by M. de CHATEAUBIUANO. It
is stated that M. de FITZ...TAMES is also in Switzerland.
Is it mere chance that has brought these celebrated Hen
riquinquists into our country? We must leave the so-
lution of this problem to the sagacity of our readers.—

ELECTION OF LORD MAYOR.—We arc
informed the election to the Civic Chair will be strongly
contested, and that Sir PETER LAURIE will not take pos-
session of it as a matter of course. We understand an op-
position of a novel kind is about to be brought forward ;
and if such o position be on secure grounds, the Court of
Aldermen will be visited with the punishment they so
justly deserve, for infringing on the ►ights and liberties of
the Citizens. Some of the most active of the Liverymen,
in the cause of civic liberty, are about to bring forward
one of their body of high tab lit, and very considerable in-
fluenc,, who is not a Member of the Court of Aldermen :
they have conic to a conclusion, after a minute examina
thin of the ancient Ch trer of the City, that the eitizAts
have vested in them the right of choosing one from among
themselves, without reference to the Court of Aldermen,—

The Hamburg papers brought by the steamer
last night, to the 15th instant, state that 1,587 ships
payed through the Sound during the month of August—

Letters received in Newcastle, from New
York, this morning, dated 2-4th of August, say—" Our
city his been almost deserted for near two months; every
one who could leave their affairs went, and many who
should have remained were driven away by fear. Out of
a popul ition of 220.000 we had not 100,000 remaining.
Business at a complete stand. The dreadful scourge the

FRANKFORT, SEPT. 12.—A new Patriotic
Association has been formed in this town, the numerous
members of which have, among others, resolved not to
frequent any public-house, hotel, or reading-room, where
journals of aristocratic principles arc kept. The di,gust
entertained here for these papers is so universal, that a.
resolution of this kind cannot fail to have its effect, and the
proprietors of reading•rooms, club-houses, and inns, will
he obliged to give up a great many journals in order t,
avoid a considerable loss. Dr. ROUSSEAU, the editor of
the Postamts :editing, which paper is most hated, receives
a salary of twelve hundred florins per annum from the
Diet, who also take five hundred copies of the journal to
keep it alive. This respectable Doctor presented formerly
the world with a great many poems and plays, but his
productions having no success, he turned political writer,
and a few years ago he entered into the service of the Diet,
who know better how to value the merits of certain scrib-
blers than the rest of the ungrateful world.

A vessel has arrived from Lisbon, having
left on the 7th. A passenger by her reports that on the
same day the Portuguese fleet sailed, consisting of one
74, a frigate, two corvettes, two brigs, and a steamer.
SARTORIUS was outside with two frigates, one corvette,
two brigs, and a schooner. The latter has a large gun
amidships, with which she shot away a brig's mainmast,
and wounded the frigate's foremast in the late action.
Some of the English Radicals in Lisbon had sent out word
to SARTORIUS that the Portuguese ft igate had taken on
hoard a quantity of artillery, as it was supposed, to be
landed either at Figueira or at the back of Oporto. It was
said that it was SARTORIUS' intention not to bring the
Portuguese fleet to action off Lisbon, as he had not a suf-
ficient force, but to draw them down to Oporto, where he
expected to find reinforcements. His steamers had gone
down there fur coals, which had become extremely scarce
at Oporto, owing to the Royalists being at Valongo,
where the coal mines are, in consequence of which supplies
had been ordered from England. Lisbon was never in a
more quiet state, and Don PEDRO'S partisans very despond
ng, as no desertions in his favour had taken place, and
the enthusiasm in favour of the Royalist cause daily in-
creasing.—/Iforning Post.

A very bad practice has lately been resorted to
by the masters of ships lying in or near Sheet ness harbour;
when a person has died on board, instead of bringing bits.
on shore to inter him, they have sewed him up in a ham-
mock and thrown him overboard. The consequence has
been, in a few days they have come up again, and floated
near the shore,where they have been picked up and brought
to land. A Jury has then been sworn to inquire the cause
of the party's death, th,reby incurring loss of time and
expense of burial, &c. This practice cannot be too strongly
reprobated, as nothing can be snore revolting than to s-e
the remains of a fellow-creature mutilated, sometimes in
the most horrid manner, when they ought quietly to have
reposed in the dust without being half devoured by the
inhabitants of the sea. Two cases of this kind have oc-
curred within 10 days at this port. —Maidstone Journal
SAGACITY OF A POINTER.—A remarkable
incident occurred this season to a gentleman shooting on
Marsden Moors. During the heat of the day, he and his
party having drawn up to regale themselves, observed one
of the dogs as though pointing about twenty yards front
them. In about an hour afterwards, when they were
about to pursue their labours, they still found the dog in
the same situation, upon which they proceeded to the
place, and immediately a fine old cock moor game became
their prey.—Holifirx Express.

SAGACITY OF A NEWFOUNDLAND DOG.--
A police constable of the G division firm:gilt a boy in the
service of Mr. LEWIS, a tallow-chandler, to Worship-street
police-office, under the following circumstances :—lt ap-
peared in evidence that a Mr. CLAXTON, another tallow-
chandler, had, about an hour before, sent his boy out with
a truck full of goods, accompanied by a Newfoundland
(log. On arriving in Chiswell-street the dog sudden!)
left the truck and darted under Mr. LEWIS'S truck, which
was coming in an opposite direction, and which he seized
hold of. Mr. CLavroN's boy, on going to take the dog
away, discovered, to his astonishment, that the truck Mr.
Lzwfs's man had was one which had been stolen some
time ago from his master. The prisoner said his master
had purchased the truck of a wheelwright, named WaTsox.
A summons was granted against WaTsoN. The prisoner
Was discharged.

BRUSSELS PAPERS.

(RECEIVED THIS MORNING.)
BRUSSELS, SEPT. 16.—The Journal d'Anvers contains
the fol!owing article :

" ANTWERP, SEPT. 15.
" This morning, at 4 o'clock, the workmen of the
artillery went to Fort Montebello, and finished the
enahraseurs of some 4S-pounders directed towards the
Ilalf Moon of St. Lawrence. It was expected that
General Chasse, who pretended that he had a right to
bin ler these works, would carry hia threat into effect.
Our men were at their guns with lighted matches. The
workmen laboured with incredible energy, and had finished
these works by 9 o'clock in the morning, in sight of a
great nuolber of Dutch officers, who looked on from the
ramparts of the citadel."

General Goblet has not yet set nut for London. He
will remain here till Monday or Tuesday. M. Lehon left
Tournay, on the 14th, to return to P.ris.

We have said that Count Diedrec:stein would be sent by
his Majesty the Emperor of Austria as Ambassldor to the
King of Belgium. We learn that he will shortly arrive
at Brussels, but that he will not remain long, the mission
being intended for Baron Neumann, now Member of the
Conference at London.

We are assured that M. Van Meenen will he appointed
to the Court of Cas:ation.

BRUSSELS, SEPT. 17—The 211oniteur publishes, from
the Dutch Stoats Courant the letters of General
Chase to Colonel Buzln and to the Minister of War at
the Hague.

M. Ch. de I3rouckere has sent his resignation as Mem-
ber of the Chamber of RepreQentatives. It is said that
in his letter to the Minister of the Interior he declares
that he renounces his Parliamentary career.
Yesterday after dinner, Sir Robert Adair and M. de
Latour ilauhourg had several conferences together.
About 8 o'clock is the evening a courier was despatched to
Calais by Sir R. Adair. The departure of this courier took
place with the greate,t secrecy. Great hustle was observed
at the Hotel of the English Legation till about 10 o'clock.
A letter from Rotterdam says, that the Duchess of
Angouleme was expected there on the 15th, with her
suite, from Holyroad.

The Duke of Orleans will arrive at Brussels on Thurs-
day or Friday.
ANTWERP, SEPT. 17.—T0-day about noon, a boat
coming from the citadel, not showing its colour', our ma-
rines sta,ioned at the landing-place fired six musket-shot at
it. It then hoisted the Dutch flag, and placed itself
under the protection of the Tcte•de-Flandres. At the
same moment a Belgian boat coming from the inte-
rior without any flag, a Dutch gun-boat in like man•
ne r fired some musket-shots at it, till it hoisted its flag.
It is not known whether there were any wounded.—
Journal d'Anvers.

BRUSSELS, SECT. I7.—A courier arrived yesterday from
Berlin with despatches from General Merckx to the Mi-
nister for Foreign Affairs, in which he states he arrived at
Berlin on tie Bth, and had an audience on the 9th of the
Minister for Foreign Affairs, who received him with all
respect. It seems that orders had been given that our
Amseassid,r should be received with the greatest respect.
The King was absent on account of the grand reviews,
and the official reception of General Merckx will not take
place till they are concluded.
Some of the Brussels Papers (not the lifoniteur) pub•
fished the answer of Colonel Buzen to General Chasse.
ANTWERP, SEPT. 18 —We publish today the answer
or Colonel Buzen to General Chasse. This correspondence,
and the results it has had, or rather that it has not had,
have puzzled many people, and indeed it should seem, to
judge only by what is known to the public, that the two
parties had suddenly changed characters. But a person
who h Is the means of being well informed explains, in the
following manner, what may seem strange in this affair:—
General Dc spree is said, on his arrival at Antwerp, to have
expresse I himself dissatisfied that Colonel Buzen should
have taken on himself to erect new works without orders,
and that the General wrote, in conformity with this opi-
nion, to General Chasse, requesting hint to suffer the works
that were began to be finished, but promising, in the most
formal manner, that henceforward no new work should be
undertaken. Hence the apparent long amnesty of Gen.
Chasse and the silence of his artillery.
However probable this explanation may be, we must say
that we cannot warrant its authenticity.
THE Moult, Sear. )6.—We learn from Rotterdam
that their Royal Highnesses Madame the Dauphiness of
France, and Mademoiselle the daughter of the Duchess
of Berry, have arrived there this morning, and were re-
ceived with all marks of respect by the civil and military
authorities. An officer of the King's household compli-
mented her Royal Highness in the name of the King,
and a courier was immediately deapatct ed to the Loo to
inform her Majesty the Queen, who has expressed her
wish to sec the Dauphiness on her Royal Highness's ar-
rival. A great part of the population of Rotterdam
flocked to see their Royal Highnesses, who could not con-
e. al the emotion which they felt at the cordial reception
they met with on the hospitable territory of Holland.—

LONDON,
THURSDAY EVENING. SEPTEMBER 20, 1832.

We have great pleasure in announcing that
the returns of the revenue for the financial quar-
ter, no,
near expiring, are, up to the present
time, in the highest degree favourable. There
is a marked improvement in many branches, par-
ticularly in the Customs. The latter may be
attributed in a considerable degree to the favour-
able result of the harvest, which has induced the
holders of corn in bond to release it at even the
Present high rate of duty, and bring it to market,
rather than hold on with the probability of a
further decline of prices. Upwards of 100,0001.
has been received for duties in this way during
the last ten days.
No f,

urther accounts have been received from
Brussels, either at the Foreign Office, or at the
Belgian Embassy. We may fairly conclude,
therefore, that General CHASSE has not carried
his threat of firing upon Antwerp into execution.
A private letter from Brussels, in a Morning
Paper, states, that his forbearance is owing to
further concessions on the part of the Belgians.
We sincerely trust there is no foundation for
this statement,
NV

e alluded yesterday to a letter from St. pe-
tersburgh, in which it is stated that the mission
of Lord DURIIANI has not been productive of
any important result to the interests of this coun-
try. Another letter, which we have seen, states
that the French Ambassador at the Russian
court had held several conferences with the Mi-
nister for Foreign Affairs, and that an alliance
between Russia and France was likely to be the
consequence of the repeated negociations.
Without pretending to know what may have
been the subject of the conferences between the
trench Ambassador and the Russian Minister, '
awe may, we think, safely take upon ourselves to
agree in the opinion recently expressed here by
M. de NIA.REum, that the idea of an alliance
between France and Russia, under existing cir-
cumstances, is an absurdity Nothing could ex-
cuse) and only one circumstance palliate, such a
course. Were the British Cabinet, by a cold
route qui route peace policy, to abandon
LOUIS PHILIPPE entirely to his own re-
sources in the conflict of principle in which he
4 already engaged by diplomacy with the abso-
lute Powers of the continent, he might, perhaps,
be led into the deplorable extreme of cultivating
an alliance where he wanted moral or physical
enurage to provoke hostility. Such a course,
however inexcusable in a Monarch who owes
his crown to principles which are in direct op-
Position to those of the Holy Alliance, would
excite an indignation in the minds of the
People of this country against our own Govern-
ment, calculated in some degree to blunt the
anger which would be otherwise felt towards
1-01/I8 PHILIPPE ; but we trust that there never

will be so much madness or so much political
profligacy in the British Cabinet, as to lead to
an event of so disastrous a character to the
cause of liberty, and that it will be always con-
sidered, that, however important it may be to
obtain peace by slight and honourable conces-
sions, it never can be the interest of this
country to purchase temporary security by the
abandonment of the only ally upon whom we
can reckon for support in the defence of our own
free institutions.

With respect. to the alleged good understand-
ing between the Russian Ministry and the
French Ambassador at St. Petersburgh, it is ne-
cessary to remark, that previously to the mission
of Lord Dunlliot there was shown by the
Russian Court to the French Ambassador a
coolness approaching to insult ; and that the ci-
vility lately evinced towards him has been ascribed
to the interference of the British Envoy Extra-
ordinary. May not this contrast have occasioned
the mistake of thoe who prognosticate a treaty
of alliance between France and Russia ? and
may not the fact upon which they build their
prognostication of injury to this country prove
the direct reverse of the prediction.

There are few Parliamentary Candidates
which the times have called forth, who have hesi-
tated to declare their sentiments upon the diffe-
rent great political questions which are likely to
be discussed in the course of the next two or
three years, unless they have wished to con-
ceal them. Electors may depend upon it, that
no man would leave them in any doubt of
his sentiments upon most of the subjects we
refer to, except from the knowledge that they
were opposed to the opinions of those whose
suffrages he solicited. The consequence of con-
stituencies requiring, for the most part, a full
declaration of their general views from untried
men, has been, that shufflers have either
entirely withdrawn from the field, or remain only
with every probability of being beaten out of
it. But of all explicit declarers of opinion, Col.
STANHOPE, as Candidate for the Tower Ham-
lets, stands foremost, although his public life,
perhaps, calls for professions less than that of
any one of the multitudinous candidates of that
new borough. It will be seen by the report in
another part of our Paper, that the Gallant Colonel
does not mince the matter, either as regards the
law, the church, the army, the colonies, the
corn laws, or free trade generally ; in all he ad-
vocates specific plans of Reform ; and although
we may differ with him in some of his details,
the general principle on which he proceeds
is excellent. What he states with respect to
taxes is particularly deserving of praise ;
and if all were to act up to the spirit of fairness
which he manifests, we should very soon have
no complaint to make with respect to inequality
in the pressure of taxation. The Gallant Colonel
says—" He would cut off all the assessed taxes,
and would have a graduated property tax, by
which the famishing labourer would be relieved
from the killing weight that now hangs on him.
But persons in his own condition should pay much,
while the middling classes should have to pay less."
Colonel STANHOPE'S plan for reducing our
army by the establishment of a militia, we cannot
approve of. In the first place, we are satisfied
that a militia would be dearer,—that is, would
occasion a larger sum of money to be drawn
from the pockets of the people,—although not
perhaps in the direct shape of army or militia
estimates,—than a standing army. In the next
place, it would be a most intolerable nuisance. The
suspension of the militia ballot was one of the
most acceptable boons the country had for a
long time received. 'We do not say that the
expenses of our army might not, by proper
management of our Colonies, be reduced one
half, but in a commercial country like this, the
pursuits of the population cannot be conveniently
changed every six months. In America, referred
to by the Gallant Colonel, the mass of the
population is engaged in agriculture, and times
are chosen for militia training, which renders it
as little inconvenient as possible. 'We could say
much more in support of our position, as re-
gards England, but the question must be so
plain to all engaged in commerce or manufac-
tures, whether as employers or employees, that
we shall say no more upon it until Colonel
STANHOPE, or some one else, stands forward
in Parliament to support his side of the argu-
ment.

A Canterbury Correspondent of the Times
has this morning forwarded that Paper an ac-
count of the election of the Mayor of that an-
cient city, which is worthy of. notice, as display-
ing the unabated spirit in favour of Reform,
which prevails there, and also as exhibiting a
signal defeat of the trickery of the Tory faction.
Public opinion was in favour of Alderman S.
KINGSFORD, and as he had never passed the
Chair, it was expected he would be one of the
candidates put in nomination by the Court of
Aldermen. Instead of this, two Tory Candi-
dates, Aldermen BROWNE and E. KINGSFORD,
were put forward. This appears to have been
contrary to some previous understanding with
the liberal part of the Freemen, by far the ma-
jority, and they resolved, at all hazards, to de-
feat the plan formed against them. They dis-
liked both Candidates equally, but took care
so to vote that they polled exactly ninety-two
each. The consequence was, that neither was
elected. This was on the 14th inst., the day
prescribed by the Charter for electing the Mayor;
but a provision existing for such an event as
actually occurred, a fresh election was proceeded
with, between the hours of 10 and 2 on the
next day. Alderman BROWNE, seeing that the
contest was hopless, retired, and Alderman S.
KINGSFORD came forward. The number
of votes in his favour was 607, whilst
Alderman E. KINGSFORD had only fifteen,
proving that the numbers he had had the day
before were entirely to be attributed to the ex-
cellent management of the Reformers. Well
have the men of Canterbury vindicated their in-
dependence ; and if the Reformers throughout
the country would imitate their prudence and
management, as well as their spirit, small indeed

would, any where, be the chances in favour of
those whose only trust is in cunning, treachery,
and unconstitutional intimidation.

We were beginning Co think that there was no
man left so willing to say, " write me down an
ass," as to propose secrecy in respect of the trans-
actions of the Bank. We were mistaken, for

it appears by our report of the Bank Meet-
ing which took place to-day, that a gentleman,
who elegantly declared he would not give his
name to be shown up by " the b-y old
Times," and, sagaciously, that the Press was
the curse of the country, moved for the exclusion
of the Reporters. The majority of the meeting,
however, either thinking that nothing ought to be
secret, or that this attempt would only lead to the
publication of garbled reports, and other and
moi e injurious consequences, decided against the
!notion. The Great Unknown is certainly in
error at present, but we do not despair of his
conversion, since he really appears ashamed of
himself.

The French Papers of Tuesday inform us
that the Duke of BrtusswrcK has been at
length compelled to quit Paris. He resisted for
some time, and attempted to evade the execution
of the Minister's order, but at length the police
found admittance to his abode, and having a
chaise ready at the door, he was at once removed,
without any violence being used. He will be
conducted to the frontiers, and will probably take
up his quarters for the present in Switzerland.
By all accounts from the Cantons, it would ap-
pear as if the exiled Bourbons are contemplat-
ing some movements which will assure LOUIS
PHILIPPE that the departure of CHARLES the
Tenth from this country is not without a more
political object than it is at present considered
prudent to divulge.
The news in these papers from the Peninsula
is more cheering to the cause of Don PEDRO.
Even the Court party begin to fear that MIGUEL
will not be able to hold out ; while, on the
other hand, JOSE MARIA'S brave guerillas con-

tinue to increase in Andalusia, where some
other chiefs have followed their example by raising
the patriotic banner of independence.

The letter of PARIGOT, President of the
Royal Court of Poitiers, tendering his resigna-
tion rather than sign a decree ordering the arrest
and committal of the Duchess DE BERRI is a
sign of the times which Lours PHILIPPE can-
not fail to understand. If he hesitate any longer
in capturing that misguided but heroic lady, he
%vitt soon repent either the excess of his modera-
tion or culpable negligence.

Brussels Papers to the 19th have been re-
ceived. It will be seen that nothing further has
taken place between the Dutch and Belgians at
Antwerp, except the interchange of notes of
defiance. The Belgians have finished the works
begun, and both parties now look at each other.

The reception of the Duchess of ANGOU•
LEME in Holland, where she is styled the Dau-
phiness, affords another proof, if any were
wanting, what game the King of HOLLAND is
playing. We shall be much surprised if the
Allied Monarchs do not shortly make common
cause in favour of the " exiled Legitimate."
