PRESERVING GAME.—Lord GRANTHAM
has adopted a new and most successful way of preserving
his game at Wrest Park, in Bedfordshire. He has al-
lotted to every labourer a portion of land at a fair rent,
sufficient to employ all his leisure time, with this condi-
tion annexed—that any one of them who shall be convicted
of an offence against the game laws shall forfeit his land.
The old keeper, HILLS, declares that from the time these
allotments have been got into crop, and the men have
tasted the fruits of the labour of their own hands, his of-
fice has been pretty near a sinecure. "If it were not for
them Lunnuners what come down in gigs in September,"
he says, " I could easier preserve my Lord's manors with
one helper or two than I used to do with a score. There
cannot be a snare set in the parish, but there is a race
among the men who shall be the first to come and tell
me, and then the lucky fellow knows that be is sure
of my good word when he wants any favour from our
good steward, Mr. Baowx." Lord GRANTHAM having
a great dislike to shutting up active young fellows in
prison, like felons, or following the natural bent of their
minds in the pursuit of the wild animals of the field,
has another plan for keeping away loose fellows from the
neighbouring parishes, who are out of the reach of the
former and more excellent plan, which may be worth con-
sideration. his keepers are chosen for their strength and
activity, well paid and well fed. Fire-arms are strictly
forbidden them, but they are furnished with long sticks,
one size less than a bludgeon. So armed, he calculates
them to be more than a match for a half-starved poacher,
and he authorizes them to give all such a good drubbing,
and then let them go.—Lincoln Mercury.
The sound of the hammer, the hatchet, and
the saw, never ceases at Plymouth dock-yard, in which
the workmen are not allowed a moment's respite from
morning to night. The artisans work double tides, that
is, they perform two days' labour in one ; and even the
Sabbath shines no holyday for them, for not only is the
night made joint labour with the day, but Sunday, no
longer divided from the week, has ceased to be a day of
rest in Plymouth dock-yard. The same extraordinary
activity prevails at Portsmouth and the other dock-yards,
in which the finishing, fitting, and repairing of ships of
war of every description, give dreadful note of prepara-
tion.—Dorset County Chronicle.
DREADFUL TEMPEST AT ALsToN.--On
the afternoon of Saturday se'nnight, about three o'clock,
Alston and its vicinity was visited by one of the most tre-
mendous tempests of wind and rain from S.E. ever re-
membered. The storm continued till about ten o'clock in
the evening, when it settled down to a calm, and became a
fine clear night. During the storm Mr. WILLIAM BALM.
BRIDGE, solicitor, Alston, had several trees torn up by the
roots in a plantation near the town, and two young women
had a narrow escape from being lost upon Hartside. They
were crossing that boisterous Fell, and had ascended to near
the top, when they were found by Mr. STONE, ro al-sur-
vevor, in quite an exhausted condition. Mr. S. humanely
alighted from his gig, and, having helped them into it,
took them to the Shaw House, where he had them taken
care of for the night. The same afternoon, Mrs. HANNAH
MARTIN, of Redhugh, West Allendale, and her daughter,
while crossing the Fell from Alston, where: within

FRENCH PAPERS.

(From the Papers of Monday.)

Extract of a letter of the 12th inst., from Nuremburg ;
—" Count Pozzo di Borgo's absolutist journey has not
succeeded, as he has not been able to induce the South of
Germany to espouse the cause of Russia. After having
failed in making certain arrangements at Vienna, he em-
ployed powerful efforts with our Court, and that of Wir-
temhurg, but with no better success. You may be as-
sured that Austria will not make common cause with the
two Northern Cabinets in the affairs of Belgium. The
whole of the South of Germany is interested in seeing the
pretensions of Holland repelled ; and from its effects upon
our commerce, this war will be popular in these countries.
Bavaria, Wirtemburg, and Baden are equally opposed with
Austria to the commercial system of Prussia, and you will
shortly hear of movements at Hanau and the neighbouring
towns, in resistance to its introduction. Austria is work-
ing secretly against it, and has charged the Hanoverian
Minister to make representations to the Diet accordingly.
Our town will make strong representations to the Court
of Munich with the same view. All our wishes ate in fa-
vour of the French army, and we should not only rejoice
at the defeat of King William, but are anxious to be de-
livered from the presumptuous pretensions of Prussia."

The Berlin State Gazette of the 13th instant, brings
intelligence from St. Petersburgh to November 3. Accord-
ing to accounts from Riga, considerable anxiety was felt
there and in the adjoining provinces, by the farmers and
graziers, from the scarcity of hay this year. One half of
the last crop was left standing in consequence of the heavy
rains. Prussian Four per Cents. were 92 913- ; ditto
Five per Cents. (1822), English Loan, 102;1.
A letter of the Bth instant, from Modena, says—" The
decree of the Duke, issued in July last, authorizing the
assassination of all persons suspected of being his enemies,
has produced the most disastrous consequences, and has
been used for purposes of private vengeance. An Italian,
holding a Captain's commission in the service of Austria, in
garrison at Modena, was in the habit of making frequent
visits to a lady, residing at a short distance from the town,
which were displeasing to the husband, who employed
two men in the volunteer regiment of Estense to despatch
him, which they effectually accomplished as he was re-
turning from the lady to the city. This murder, instead
of being punished in pursuance of the demand of the Aus-
tiian Colonel, was rewarded by the Duke, under the pre-
tence that the Captain was a Liberal. Each of the assas••
sins received 270 f. from the Duke, and the Courtiers en-
couraged this atrocious conduct by making a collection for
them. On Saturday last, a clerk of a merchant named
Ferrari, on entering the theatre, had a dispute with the
check-taker, who brutally threw him down the stairs, and
the injuries he received from the fall were so severe that
he died the next morning. The check-taker was prose-
cuted by the parents of the sufferer, but he escaped with
impunity, on the ground that the young man was a Libe-
ral, and an enemy to the Duke."
Letters from Rome of the 6th instant, announce that
his Majesty the King of Naples was expected in that ca-
pital on the 19th, and that it was supposed that his
nuptials with the Princess Caroline of Savoy would then
be celebrated.

A letter of the 10th instant from Nice announces the
arrival, in that town, of the ex-Dey of Algiers, with a
suite of only two persons, one of whom is his Secretary.
A credit, to a large amount, has been opened to him at a
banking•house, and it is believed to be his intention to fix
his rsidence at Nice.

The Indicateur of Bordeaux, of the 16th instant, gives
in a supplement, the following details of the arrival of
the Duchess of Berry at Blaye :—" Yesterday afternoon,
at 5 o'clock, the coasting pilots descried the steamer Le
Bordelais, which had joined the Capricieuse brig, near
Verdon, at 11 in the morning. The news immediately
spread over the town of Blaye, and crowds proceeded to-
wards the port, in spite of the rain. The autorities of
the town, headed by the Lieutenant-General, took a boat
and went on board the vessel which conveyed the
Duchess, Mademoiselle de Kersabiec, and M. de Menars.
During that time the battalion of the 48th left the
citadel, and the men were stationed in a line from the
landing-place in the port to the citadel. The soldiers
were ordered to maintain the most profound silence.
Towards half-past six the Bordelais arrived. A coach-
and-four was in readiness fir the prisoners ; part of the
National Guards were under arms, and all the officers, in
full dress, were placed in front of thecarriage. The Lieut.-
General, the Sub Prefect, an Aide-de-Camp of Marshal
Soult, M. Delort, the officers of the Engineer Corps, and
of the Navy, went on board the steamer to conduct the
Duchess on shore; she appeared greatly affected, although
she was very cheerful at first. In reply to some words
from the Lieutenant-General, which we could not ascer-
tain, she said, " General, as formerly, I flatter myself that
you will do your duty." The captive Princess then
stepped into the boat, and landed in the port. M. Janin
offered her his aim, which she accepted with much grace.
The Sub-Prefect of Blaye conducted Mdlle. de Kersabiec,
and M. de Menars followed behind. The Duchess wore a
plain brown dress, a small violet-coloured velvet bonnet,
and a green cloak ; Mdlle. de Kersabiec was also dressed
very plain ; M. de Menars wore the coat lie had on in his
biding-place at Nantes, which is burnt at the bottom.
About twenty paces from the landing-place the Duchess
stepped into the carriage with her companions, and asked
for a little bag, in which was the portrait of the Duke
of Bordeaux. This having been given to her, the car-
riage started, followed by the National Guards, the troops
of the line, and the gendarmes ; in front of the carriage
which was lighted by torches, were the Lieutenant-
General, M. Lecacheux, his Aide-de-Camp and the Sub-
Prefect; and behind it M. Joly, Commissary of Police, the
Colonel of the Gendarmerie of Angers, the Colonel of
the National Guards of Nantes, M. Polo, Deputy-Major,
an officer of artillery, and several officers of the Capri-
cieuse. In this order the cortege proceeded in profound
silence towards the cidadel, and entered by the Porte Dau-
phine, the drawbridge of which was let down immediately.
The Duchess, on her arrival, found a bath ready for her.
One hour after the authorities proceeded to the house of
the Sub-Prefect, who had invited them to dinner. To-
morrow the Lieutenant-General will return to Bordeaux.
It is generally reported, that during the voyage the
Duchess preserved her cheerfulness ❑ntil the moment of
her quitting the Capricieuse to go on board the Borde-
lais, which she recognised as having received her on board
on a former and different occasions. Oa leaving the
brig she made a present of I,ooof. to the sailors of that
vessel. The whole citadel wears a warlike aspect. A
party of Artillerymen are expected from Bayonne. Five
sentinels are placed round that part of the prison where
the Duchess is confined. It is forbidden to approach the
ramparts within thirty paces. Two armed boats are on
the watch at the foot of the citadel."

of Berry on board the Capricieuse:--" The passage was
extremely disagreeable, the vessel having made but very
little way. Almost all the passengers were ill, particularly
the Duchess, who became anxious for the termination of
the voyage, though to enter a prison. She resigned her-
self to her lot, and did not utter a single complaint, but
frequently expressed her thanks fir the attentions that
were paid to her. During the passage the Duchess con-
versed frequently on politics, hut with great calmness and
candour, even on points in which she was personally inte-
rested, and an equal degree of frankness was observed by
those whose sentiments differed from hers. The manners
of the Count de Menars are mild and amiable, but his
political opinions are so fixed, that he would not advise

The Courrier de r Europe states that Dr. A. Mey, of
the faculty, having applied to the Minister of the Interior
for permission to reside in the Castle of Blaye, in order
that he might be in attendance in case his services should
he required by the Duchess of Berry, offering to pay for
his board and lodgings, and to conform to all the regula-
tions of the prison as if he was one of the prisoners, the
Alinister replied that, at present, there was no need to
complywith his application, nor to forward it to the
Duchess, and that this is a general measure.

Some one remarked that an Englishman was
content only when he was in misfortune ; that a Scotch-
man was at home only when he was out ; and an Irish-
man at peace only when be was fighting.—Le Perroquet.
CURIOUS WAGER.--A curious wager has
been laid between a gentleman near Buckingham and a
friend at Brackley.
The former has betted that the latter
cannot, while holding in his hand a cord attached to a one-
pound weight at a mile distance, draw up the weight to him
within the hour. An impediment that may momentarily
delay the progress of the weight may be removed. The
draught at this distance (1760 yards) must be immense,
and the friction very great. Opinions are much divided
on the issue ; in ours all the difficulty will consist in stir-
ring the pound weights the first inch.—.. Northampton
Herald.

OPENING OF THE FRENCH CHAMBERS.

We have received the Paris morning Papers of
Monday, and the Nouvelliste of Monday evening.
We give from the latter an account of the opening
of the Legislative Session, together with the speech
delivered by the King on that occasion :

A crowd assembled at an early hour in the neigh-
bourhood of the Chamber of Deputies. The doors
were opened at 11 o'clock, immediately after which
the tribunes were entirely filled. At two o'clock
the firing of cannon announced the approach of the
King. The deputations went out to meet him.
The Queen, accompanied by her children and
Madame Adelaide, came into the tribune which had
been reserved for her.

The King entered the Chamber immediately after.
He wore the uniform of the National Guard, and
was preceded by the grand deputations, and followed
by a numerous staff. He was greeted by the cries
of " Vive le Roi !" which burst ferth from every
part of the Chamber. His Majesty uncovered and
took his seat on the throne. He then said to the
Peers and Deputies, " Gentlemen, be seated ;" and
then covering himself again, delivered the following
speech with a steady voice :
" Gentlemen,—l am glad, after a long separation, again
to have recourse to your wisdom and support. In the
interval my Government has been exposed to serious trials.
It has overcome them by its own strength; it has triumphed
over factions.

" Deceived by the generosity of our institutions, by our
respect for the guarantees of public rights, they have mis.
calculated the strength of a legal and moderate policy. In
Paris, in the name of the republic—in the west, in the
name of the counter-revolution—they have attacked by force
of arms the established order.

The attempts at republicanism, as well as counter-
revolution, have been quelled.
" The days of the sth and 6th of June have made ma-
nifest the perversity and the imbecility of the friends of
anarchy. They have made clear the danger of a policy
which would temporize with subversive passions instead of
crushing them in their birth. Constitutional monarchy
has recognised its true friends and its true defenders in that
generous population of Paris, in that intrepid National
Guard, in that brave and faithful army who have so ener-
getically repulsed such attempts.
" I have been very happy that my presence, by encou-
raging good citizens, has hastened to put down sedition.
" It has been seen what force a constitutional King
may find in the support of the nation when compelled to
have recourse to arms to defend the crown which be has
been called on to wear, and the institutions which he has
sworn to maintain.

" We have had to deplore in the west insurrections and
odious crimes. The mass of the population have not
taken any part in it ; and, wherever the rebellion has
broken out, it has been speedily extinguished. Let, there-
fore, the culpable authors of civil war, who have so many
times desolated those districts, lose all hope of a counter-
revolution, as impossible in my eyes as in yours ; for they
find us unanimous to suppress it,—always faithful to our
oaths, and ready to unite our destinies with those of the
country.

" A recent event, and decisive for the public peace,
will destroy the last illusions of this party.
" Gentlemen, at Paris, as in the west, my Government
has been able to borrow from the existing laws all the
energy compatible with justice. For like crimes like e-
pressios is necessary. In these critical days it was neces-
sary that the defenders of public order and of liberty should
find in the firm resolution of the governing power the
support which they demanded.
" It will be your task to examine whether our legisla-
tive provisions do not require, in this respect, to be re-
vised and completed, and by what measures the safety of
the State and the liberty of the subject may at once be
guaranteed.
" It is by persevering in this course of moderation and
justice that we shall show ourselves faithful to the princi-
ples of our glorious revolution. This is the system which
you have strengthened by your concurrence, and which
has been sustained with so great constancy by the able
and courageous Minister whose loss we deplore. Already
the happy effects of this system are every where felt.
" Within, confidence revives ; commerce and industry
have resumed their course ; Providence has spread its
treasures over our fields ; the scourge which so cruelly de-
solated us has gone from us ; and every thing promises us
the prompt reparation of the evils by which we were
afflicted.

" Without, the pledges of national prosperity are not
the less secure.

" I have every reason to reckon en the pacific disposi-
tions of Foreign Powers, and on the assurances which I
every day receive.

"The intimate union which has been formed between
France and Great Britain will be to both nations a fertile
source of welfare and of strength, and to all Europe a new
guarantee of peace.

" One question alone might still have prolonged in
Europe some uneasiness. Notwithstanding the efforts of
my Government, the treaty of the 15th of November,
1831, which was to consummate the separation of Bel-
gium and Holland, remained unexecuted ; the means of
conciliation seemed to be exhausted; the object was not
obtained. I considered that such a state of things could
not continue without compromising the dignity and interests
of France. The moment was come to provide for the ex-
ecution of treaties, and to fulfil the engagements contracted
towards Belgium. The King of Great Britain has par-
ticipated in my sentiments. Our two flags wave together
at the mouths of the Scheldt; our army, whose disci-
pline and good spirit equal its valour, has arrived at this
moment under the walls of Antwerp. My two sons are
in its ranks.

"In giving to the King of the Belgians my dear
daughter, I have strengthened by a new tie the alliance of
the two nations. The act which consecrated this solemn
union will be laid before you.
`• I have also given orders to my Ministers to commu-
nicate to you the treaty concluded on the 4th of July, 1831,
between my Government and that of the United States of
America. This transaction puts an end to the reciprocal
claims of the two countries.

" You will also be informed of the treaty by which
Prince Otho of Bavaria is called to the throne of Greece.
I shall have to request of you the means of guaranteeing
efficiently with my allies, an indispensable loan for the
consolidation of a new ewe founded by our care and our
assistance.

" I request that our fundamental legislation may be
promptly completed. The laws announced by the 69th
article of the Charter will be presented to you in the course
of this session. You will have to deliberate on the re-
sponsibility of Ministers, on the departmental and muni-
cipal administrations, on the organization of public in-
struction, and on the condition of officers.
" Several other laws of less political importance, but of
great interest to the affairs of the country, will be also
presented to you.
.6 I regret that I am not able at present to propose to
you any reduction of the public charges : our duty to-
wards France, and the circumstances in which we are
placed, impose on us still heavy sacrifices ; but the gene-
ral position of Europe permits us to anticipate their con-
clusion. The future appears to us under favourable
auspices; credit is sustained and is strengthened, and in-
dubitable signs attest the progress of the national wealth.

" A few efforts more, and the last traces of the anxieties
inseparable from a great revolution will disappear. The
feeling of stability will return to all minds; France will
assume an entire confidence in the future; and then will
be realised the most cherished of my wishes, that of
seeing my country raise itself to the height of prosperity
to which it has a right to aspire, and of my being able to
say that my efforts have not been useless in the fulfilment
of its destinies."

PARIS, MONDAY, 6 O'CLOCK, P.M .

The procession to the Chamber of Deputies to-
day was .well-nigh becoming a tragic scene. The
King, who was on horseback, was shot at with a
pistol, by a man who was standing on the bridge
called Le Pont Royale, over which the procession
passed. The ball fortunately went over the King's
head, and no one was injured by it. The man who
fired the pistol appears to belong to the populace.
He was immediately seized by the standers by, and
has since been conveyed to the office of the Home
Department, where he now remains. This inci-
dent has created a much greater sensation in Paris
than the King's opening speech, which you will
receive by this conveyance.

The speech was received at the Bourse to-day

just as the bell rang for the close of business, so that
he funds have not been influenced by it. Z.

PARIS, NOV. 19, ONE O'CLOCK, P.M.
" The day, th' important day,
Big with the fate of Guizot and of Thiers,

has arrived. Not
Heavily in clouds"
but with the clearest atmosphere that can be conceived,
and the temperature of the latter end of April—not pre-
senting crowds of haggard, famished ouvriers, pale stu-
dents, confederate compositors, and revolted cab-drivers,
determined on achieving another revolution, but streets
filled with pleased and pleasing spectators, who, without
the least regard in the world for the political drama about
to commence, seem resolved, in order to make up for the
time lost lately in sadly thinking o'er the various ills which
a tradeless, sickly, sombre season brought with it, to

" Pay themselves with gazing on the show."

This is my last poetical " quotatum" for the day.
We have not a word of news, all being bottled up in the
King's Speech, a single word of the contents of which has
not yet transpired. All apprehensions of an emeute appear
to have passed away. For this pleasing impression we are
indebted to the obvious precautions of Government, and to
the very proper language of the Liberal Press, which, in
thus preventing a revolt, will have again added to the
glory which it acquired in producing the Revolution. The
whole of the troops, forming the immense garrison of
Paris, are consigned (confined within their barracks) fully
equipped, furnished with ball cartridges, and ready to take
the field. A large force of the National Guards, particu-
larly of the favourite (the 2d) Legion, is on foot, as are
all the Police, Vidocq included. There will be, I trust, no
disturbance, and thus will M. Thiers have, in another
instance, departed from the system of his illustrious
predecessor.

The Boulevard des I:aliens, in front of Tortoni's, pre-
sents the appearance of St. James's-street the day before
the " Derby day." Bands of stockjobbers, roues, and,
gamblers block up the pathway, peculating and speculat-
ing. All are, however, at fault as yet ; for although the
Bears look blue, it is not yet certain that the Bulls will
not grow pale when the speech shall be read. The pre-
vailing expectation is that the speech will convey rather
pacific assurances. The Ministers have achieved more
triumph in election matters. Their candidates, MM. Joe.
Perier and Pescatore, having been returned to the Cham-
ber, notwithstanding the exertions of the Liberaux. Paris
is crowded with strangers; trade has become good ; and
the weather, I repeat, is superb. The effects of these
agremens upon the aspect of the funds is to be seen in
the rise which has already taken place in their value--
that is, before the commencement of business on 'Change.
We must wait, however, until three o'clock before we can
form an opinion.

HALF-PAST ONE.

Since writing the above I have been informed that, not-
withstanding the tranquil appearance of things, the King
will, in all probability, hear unpleasant cries on his way
to the Chamber. There are, however, no fewer than
3,000 serjens de ville and other agents of the police on
duty, in addition to the military force. I must, however
proceed to witness the procession.

HALF-PAST THREE.

Paris and France have escaped a great crime. The can-
non of the invalids, at two o'clock, announced to the mul-
titude assembled to view the cortege, that the King had
left the Palace of the Tuileries for the Chamber. You are
aware that the Pont Royal is close to the Palace. The
King was preceded by the Queen and Royal Family, by,
perhaps, two minutes. His Majesty at length appeared
(as usual, on horseback), preceded by an:escort, and suner
rounded by his Staff. When he arrived at the angle
formed by the bridge and the quay d'Orsay, a man in the
crowd, which was of necessity confined to the flagged
way, presented a pistol at him, took aim, and fired, but,
fortunately, missed his mark. The assassin was, I need
hardly say, easily secured, and the procession moved on.
The King was, at first, shocked, but soon recovered his
presence of mind. On arriving at the Chamber, the usual
ceremonies were gone through, after which the King deli-
vered the speech (a copy of which I subjoin). To-
wards the close of it the incident to which I have just
referred was noticed. The applause with which the
previous part bad been received had been very general,
but unanimous cheering, and cries of Vice le .Roi/ burst
forth from the assembly, on learning the atrociuus attempt
that had been made on the King's life. The Queen burst
into tears, as did other members of the Royal Family.
The great business of the day over, the King returned to
the Palace, in the same order observed on his progress to
the Chamber. I was at the gate of the Tuileries on his
arrival, and can assure you the cheering with which he was
received was pretty nearly general. He appeared firm,
and returned the people's applause with warmth. His
Majesty had not long reached the chateau when the entire
of the Members of the Chamber of Deputies arrived 10
procession (walking three and three), in order to deliver
an address of congratulation, to which they had ottani.
mously agreed, the moment after he had left the Chamber.
The attempt at regicide thus briefly and hastily alluded
to, will change probably the fate with which Ministers
were menaced. Had the assassin escaped, no evidence
would have been deemed sufficiently strong to acquit them'
of having prepared it.
When the news reached the Bourse a fall of a quarter
per cent. took place ; but prices rallied, and at the close
were found to have fallen 15 centimes only, as compared,
with those of Saturday. The omission of all mention 0'
the project for disposing of the Duchess of Berry in the
speech was soundly discreet. The implied contrast oh-
servable in the manner in which he dwelt upon the alit'
ante of England has produced very serious fears.
In the hurry in which I am obliged to write I neces-
sarily omit many particulars respecting the precauprecautionadopted to secure tranquillity. They were well conceived,
but will not now require to be resorted to.

LETTER FROM M. HYDE DE NEUVILLE TO THE DUCHESS

OF BERRY.

Royal Highness. I immediately came to Paris, where
, wh eln tl
am at the orders of Madame, and ready to go to Blaye, if
her Royal Highness thinks fit that I should do so. I shall
not mention to Madame my extreme grief, nor offer con-
solations to a courage like hers. Madame will not be

st r

pitied—one consolation is sufficient for her soul, so truly
French. Madame is aware that all men of honour admire
her character, and give justice to her nobleness and to the
purity of her intentions; she knows that every man who
has French blood in his veins, to whatever party he may
belong, feels pleasure that it was not at least a Frenchman
who betrayed Marie Caroline
Madame has been deceived, but what an error was hers 1
How respectable is this error !
Madame supposed that a general war was about to
break out. She recotleeted that Louis XVIII. had the
misfortune to return to his kingdom, not by foreign Pow-
ere, but with them ; but at that time our beautiful coun-
try was occupied by foreign Powers. Madame is aware
how the recollectio of this hard necessity had weighed
in the hearts of the Bourbons, and she wished, if Heave"
would restore her son to the throne of his fathers,•tbat be
should have a happier destiny. It was then that in the
noble heart of the mother, she conceived the bold, the
generous design of preserving France from a new invasions
and to crown the lawful successor of the Kings of France
by the aid of Frenchmen alone. Madame does not require
a defender. Who can judge her ? But the project of
.3
coup d'etat is in contemplation, therefore those who %Iv
olate their own laws keep in chains those whom Franf
will reckon as one of her glories. Will they be able/ 1"?
Madame appeals to the country, to refuse her a counsel?
In case Madame should wish to have one, I would
treat to be allowed to give my assistance. I offer, at least
in z al, in devotion to her Royal Highness, all that a 111
of honour, a Frenchman, can, who is attached to the bloc)
of bis King and his country.

LONDON,
WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 21, 1532.

Much anxiety was manifested during the
Whole of yesterday and last night at the Em-
bassies of France, Holland, and Belgium, for the
receipt of news respecting the operations of the
French army ; but that has been dispelled this
Morning by the arrival of a courier with the in-
formation that the whole of the French army
had not arrived before Antwerp, nor were they
expected to assemble there earlier than yester-
day evening, when General CHASSE would be
formally summoned to surrender the citadel. We
may, therefore, expect that to-morrow morning
We shall have the official intelligence whether the
Citadel is to be quietly surrendered, or the siege
to be carried on.

A private express has been received this morn-
ing from Paris, bringing the Papers of Monday,
and the Messager des Chambres dated yesterday.
The KING'S speech was the subject of much
conversation in the political circles of Paris.
lhe moderate and guarded tone with which Mi-
nisters touch upon the affairs of Belgium—the
silence preserved respecting the Duchess of
BERRY, and the total omission of any allusion
to the present state of Portugal, is a convincing
proof that the SOULT Administration will conti-
-44 to pursue the juste milieu system. The
q)eech is far from giving satisfaction to the Li-
bel'al party, as it was expected that his MA-
JESTY would have announced that Eng-
all anti France had agreed to recognise
Queen Donna MARIA as Queen of Portugal,
and put an end to the contest, especially as
Spain is on the point of receiving a new Con-
stitution.

The attempt to assassinate LOUIS PHILIP
c'h his way to the Chamber of Deputies, at first
created a great sensation in the capital, but as
such tricks are generally got up by the Police,
the public looked at it in that light, and the
t,
%tinds were very little affected. M. DUPIN and
• LAFITTE, are the two candidates named
by the Cot 6 Gauche and Extreme Gauche for
the honour of the Presideno. M. DUPIN is
the one who is expected to obtain the majority,
ItF he will only consent to join the Ministry.

A telegraphic despatch was received late on
Xonday, announcing that the advanced guard
4f the French army was before Antwerp, and
the remainder was expected in a day or two, so
that the attack on the citadel would probably
take place on the 24th, if the King of Him,-
tAND does not accede to the terms of the
treaty. Strong reinforcements of troops have
arrived in the environs of Paris, in case of tu-
-1,41u1t, as great dissension prevails among the

working classes—all was tranquil late on Mon-
day night.

The illness of the King of PRUSSIA at this
moment is an awkward circumstance for the
tranquillity of Europe, for it is well known that
the CROWN PRINCE is one of those mad ultras
who would risk every thing in an attempt to
gratify the criminal desires which they entertain.
Within the last two years the CROWN PRINCE
has three times incurred the displeasure of his
father, by the violence of his political conduct
and the open insults which he has shown to
persons connected with the Court who were
suspected of liberal sentiments. Not six months
ago he made a vain display of the military force
in Berlin before the French Ambassador, and
we have heard that Count FLAHAUT, when on
a special mission to Berlin, was so struck with
the behaviour of the Prince as to make stong
mention of it to his own Government. During
the brave but unfortunate struggle of the Poles
against the Northern Vulture, it was the CROWN
PRINCE who contrived the objects by which
they were beset from Prussia, and for the cruel
treatment which the Polish fugitives received in
Prussia they were entirely indebted to him. Al-
together the character of this Prince is exactly
suited to the views of the partisans of des-
potism
in every country, and should the King
of PRUSSIA die before the Belgian question is
settled, we may find him at the head of the
army acting co-operatively with the King of
HOLLAND against Belgium and against the
cause of liberty in every part of Europe where it
has raised its head. It is not improbable that
much of the procrastination on the Belgian
question has been the work of the King of
HOLLAND ill the expectation of the death of
the KING, and the accession of the turbulent
ultra who has frequently threatened to take a
course opposed in every respect to that which
the present SOVEREIGN has held. That Prussia
with all its forces could successfully maintain a
war against France and Belgium we do not be-
lieve, but that a hot-headed despot might com-
mence such a war is highly probable, surrounded
as he is by men, who, like himself, hate all that
has the semblance of liberty, and are anxious to
chastise revolutionary France.
The present King of PRUSSIA, although a
despotic Sovereign by his birth, and by the
various circumstances which keep Kings under
the influence of court factions, is an amiable,
benevolent, and well-disposed man ; but above
all, he has prudence and political discernment.
He may, as a Monarch, have desired the destruc •
tion of these principles which made the French
nation free, and deprived KingWILLIAM of the
Crown of Belgium ; but he could not rush
blindly into a war for which he has not financial
resources, and which would strip him of his
Rhenish Provinces in a week. The next King
of PRUSSIA, however, will probably be a dif-
ferent man. He will consult his passions and
become the champion of despotism without cal-
culating his own strength. The result cannot
be long doubtful, but if the illness of the King
of PRUSSIA should be serious, and the CROWN
PRINCE become Regent, to say nothing of
the death of the present SOVEREIGN, the King
of HOLLAND will again lay claim to Belgium
with the certainty of receiving support.

Frankfort Papers of the 15th, and Brussels
Papers of the 18th, have been received. They
all breathe of war, or preparations for war. In
the Rhenish provinces Prussia is making the
greatest exertions to meet any emergency that
may arise out of the combined attack on Antwerp.

According to accounts received at Brussels
from the Hague, it appears, that in a grand
Council held on the present state of affairs, it
was resolved not to evacuate Antwerp,
but at the same time not to attempt any
invasion of Belgium, though the Prince of
ORANGE warmly urged an attack. The
blockade by France and England is not to
be considered as a declaration of war for the
present ; but things cannot remain long in this
ambiguous state. Judging from appearances,
we should think that the Dutch will at length
consider discretion the better part of valour, and
after making a flourish of resistance, will quietly
surrender the citadel of Antwerp. But a day or
two will settle the point. If the Prince of
ORANGE attack the French army, hoping to
relieve the citadel, a general war is inevitable :

RHENISH PRUSSIA, Nov. 11.-This country presents
now a scene of military preparation such as we have not
witnessed for a long time, and this in consequence of the
possibility of an immediate war with France, on account
of the affairs of Holland and Belgium. which must not
find us unprepared. The greatest activity prevails in all
the military departments. Troops are marching to the
Belgian frontiers, and all those that remain in their garri-
sons have orders to hold themselves in readiness to march
at the first summons. Everything depends on the con-
duct of the French Government. We look with anxiety
for what may occur in the next few days, when the im-
portant question must be decided.
CLEVES, Nov. B.—ln the course of last night several
couriers passed through this city, and early this morn-
ing all the soldiers of the reserve were assembled in
the market-place, to be at Gueldres to-morrow morning at
nine o'clock, and to be relieved by our divisions. The
artillery of the Landwehr, which is very seldom called out,
has also been declared moveable, and the infantry of the
Landwehr is in expectation of very shortly receiving
the same order. The inhabitants of this place have
received notice to prepare to have a very great
number of troops quartered on them. We hear
that the Prussian troops, all along the Rhine, are to
i be put n motion, and immediately to proceed to the Rus-
sian frontier next to Belgium. We are not yet fully ac-
quainted with the intention of these military movements ;
in general it is believed that the troops will be stationed on
the Meuse, to observe the French army, if it should enter
Belgium : it is also said that Venloo will be occupied by
the Prussian troops.
MUNICH, Nov. 12.—The 19th of November is spoken
of as the day when King Otho is to set out for Greece.
All the troops are to be at Trieste on the 25th December.
Captain Lyon, commanding the ship on board which the
young King is to go to Greece, has been here for these
four days, and had an audience of his Majesty on Friday.
Captain Lyon leaves Munich on Monday, to return to
Trieste. Captain Frintini set out for that place on Friday
evening last.
WURZBURG, Nov. 13.—Our journal contains the fol-
lowing letter from Munich, dated Nov. 10 :—" It is af-
firmed that his Majesty the King, actuated by true magna-
nimity and paternal regard for his subjects, has resolved
that all proceedings against individuals for political offences
shall be quashed—that those who are in prison shall be
set at liberty, and that all that is passed shall be buried in
oblivion. It is expected, however, that a more strict
general ordinance on the subject will be published."—
Frankfort Papers, Nov. 15.
BRUSSELS, Nov. 17.—Private accounts received from
the Hague state, as follows, the result of a Grand Council,

held at the Palace after the summons from France and
England. Tbree questions are proposed :-
Ist. Shall Antwerp be evacuated ?
2d. Shall the notification of the blockade be considered
as a declaration of war?

3d. Shall the Dutch troops enter Belgium ?
The first question was unanimously decided in the ne-
gative. On the second, the majority decided that the
ultimatum of France and England should not be considered
as a declaration of war. On the third a great majority
decided in the negative, though the Prince of Orange
warmly supported the affirmative. The burgomaster of
Amsterdam was present at the Council.
In the Chamber of Representatives yesterday M. Goblet
read a very long report. In the first part of it he deve-
loped his motives for advising the King to deviate for a
moment from the line traced by the Chambers, which
was to refuse every negotiation before the evacuation
of the territory. Holland, seeing the firm resolution
of the Belgian Government not to negotiate announced
conciliatory intentions, but without really enter-
taining them. The frank conduct of the Cabinet of
Brussels has exposed the tactics of King William, and thus
the counsel he had the courage to give the King has led to
the present result, which is at least a step towards a solu-
tion. The second part of the report was taken up with
the examination of the question of intervention.
The Minister read the note addressed to the Conference
on the 11th of October, by M. Van de Weyer, on the
application to England and France to execute the clause
guaranteeing the treaty of November 15.
In this note M. Van de Weyer says that the Belgian Go-
vernment had an equal right to call on the three other
Cabinets, and it was only the distance of Vienna, Berlin,
and St. Petersburgh, and the urgent nature of the case,
which induced the Belgian Government to apply first to
the two nearest Cabinets.

A note addressed by Baron Loe to Prince Metternich,
announced the application made to France and England,
and stated the distance of Austria as the reason for not
claiming from that Power the assistance to which it was
equally bound by the treaty of the 15th November.
A note, in the same terms, was delivered by General
Mercks to the Cabinet of Berlin.

The Minister explained the reasons which prevented the
Belgian army from taking an active part in the operations
against Antwerp. The treaty of the 15th of November
bound the five Powers to execute it, and as long as they,
remained faithful to their engagements, the Belgian Go-
vernment was bound not to commence hostilities. The ap-
plicition to France and England is no stain on the na-
tional honour; it is, on the contrary, the most convincing
proof of Belgian probity and regard to the engagements
entered into. If the Powers refused to answer the call,
Belgium would have had recourse to arms, and the reso-
lution was decidedly expressed in a note to the Duke de
Broglie, of the 23d of Oct.. stating, that it would be im-
possible for the Government to wait beyond the 3d of
November. Unless the Powers shall have executed, or,
at least, taken some steps to execute the guarantee, by that
day, his Majesty the King of the Belgians will be obliged
to make his own troops take possession of the Belgian
territory, yet occupied by the enemy.

M. Goblet read two notes delivered to the French En.
voy on the 2d and 9th of Nov. By the first he announces
the consent of the King of the Belgians to evacuate
on the 12th November the territory not belonging to the
kingdom, at the same time that he shall enter into posses-
sion of the territory on both banks of the Scheldt allotted
to him ; by the second note he expresses the desire of the
King of the Belgians, that the French would send their
troops into Belgium to obtain the evacuation of the terri-
tory occupied by the enemy. The Minister much re-
gretted, as a Belgian, that a treaty guaranteed by Europe
bound them not to enforce the execution of it themselves ;
but should the Dutch troops enter the country, or should use
the means of destruction in their power, against peaceable
inhabitants and their property, we do not acknowledge in
any power a right to oblige us to offer ourselves undefended
to the attacks of our adversaries.—Brussels Paper,
Nov. 18.

We have been favoured with accounts from
Berlin and other parts of Germany, received by
express this morning, by the way of Paris.
The funds in Berlin have recovered from
the fall they had experienced from the article of
the 10th of November in the State Gazette.
This would imply that all fear of war
was subsiding. We also find by these
accounts that this article was now looked
upon as merely a precautionary measure. The
Diet of Frankfort, in one of their last Sittings,
have issued a declaration, that if a French army
were to pass the Rhine and the Meuse, they
would consider it a declaration of war
against Germany : this must be considered as a
mere matter of form, knowing, as we do, that
the French have solemnly pledged themselves to
confine their operations to the siege of the citadel
of Antwerp.

The commercial advices from Rio Janeiro
mention, that an additional duty of 1 per cent.
had been laid upon imports, but it was expected
this would be rescinded, as the merchants com-
plained much of it. It was understood that
some project for a reform in the Government
would early be brought before the House of
Representatives. From the Ist of January to
the Ist of September, there had been exported
from Rio Janeiro, 291,783 bags of Coffee ;
12,469 cases of Sugar; and 112,060 Hides ;
being an excess of 26,441 bags of Coffee over
the exports of the year 1831. The period for
the coming in of the bulk of the crop had
arrived, and the Market was well supplied.
Coffee was quoted 3,300 to 3,500 reis, and
Sugar, 2,000 to 2,300 per alq. Hides were
130 to 140 reis each. A great scarcity of
money prevailed at Rio Janeiro, and there
was an excess of bills. Dollars were worth
1,200 reis, and doubloons about 2,800, being
about 10 above bills. The supply of Tea was
so abundant, that not more than 1,000 to 7,200
reis could be obtained. Mediterranean cargoes
had of late been very limited, barely supplying
the wants of the Market. A decline in Coffee
was anticipated, and the new crop of Sugar
would be brought in early in October. The
state of the empire was considered unsettled,
although the capital was tranquil, and this alone
acted as a check on the commerce of the beautiful
portion of the new world.

Of all the strange reports which have been
spread abroad, with regard to the Middlesex
election, one not the least strange is, that Mr.
FREDERICK POLLOCK, the barrister, is to be
one of the candidates. We have been assured
that some of his friends are at this moment
getting up a requisition for him to stand for the
county. If the electors of Middlesex have
among them a score or two of men so wretchedly
doltish as to prefer Mr. FREDERICK POL-
LOCK to Mr. HUME, to Sir JOHN SCOTT
LILLIE, or even to Lord HENLEY, let them
stand forth and sign the requisition, if it be only
to purge the body to which they belong of the
disgrace which must attach to them, whilst it is
doubtful what are the numbers willing to return
the Earl of SANDWICH'S Huntingdon no-
minee for the metropolitan county. If we
thought it likely that either Mr. HUME or Sir
JOHN SCOTT LILLIE would go to the wall, we
should prefer Lord HENLEY to Mr. POLLOCK
a thousand to one. His Lordship sees the ab-
solute necessity of a reform in the Church, and,
Tory as he is, is willing to yield t o that neces-

ity ; but Mr. POLLOCK iS a mere lawyer, an
excellent man, it may be, to argue a point before
the Judges in banco, but as utterly desti-
tute of the feelings and principles by which a
Legislature ought to be guided as a man can pos-
sibly be. If such a requisition be in progress
as we have mentioned, Mr. POLLOCK will do
well to pause before he accedes to it. We say
this for his sake, as there can be no doubt of
what the ultimate result must be.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.
