LONDON.

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 27.

The arrival of the Ostend steam boat this morning, give
rise to many alarming reports, respecting the state of affairs
at Brussels. We have been informed by parties who have
arrived in the steamer, that the reported entry and posses-
sion of the whole of Brussels, by the Dutch troops, is not
well founded. It appears that Prince FREDERICK had, at
the latest date, gained possession of the higher portion of
Brussels; but that the lower town bad held out, and
some severe conflicts had ensued. The Burgher Guard,
seeing that further resistance would be useless, and that
the Dutch troops would at last overpower them, had fired
many of the public places. These were the statements in
general circulation at Ostend when the steam boat left.
The most intense interest prevailed at Ostend to learn the
issue of the affair. Neither the Dutch nor Hamburgh
boats are yet in ; the former will bring Saturday's news
from Brussels ; but as the wind has been unfavourable, it is
not expected to arrive till late. In the city this morning,
the news from Brussels was read with great avidity. On
Consols for the Account very little effect has been produced,
the price being at 88 buyers.

We have seen a letter from Antwerp, which confirms the
intelligence given above, that the upper part of the City of
Brussels had fallen before Prince FIULDERICIL. There

has been a hard-fought battle ; and the Commissi
sent to the provinces have all been taken prisoners.

The following letter, dated Antwerp, the 24th instant,
has been received at Lloyd's this morning:—

Antwerp, Sept. 24.

Prince Frederick only acted upon the proclamation of
of the 21st inst. yesterday morning, when at 7 o'clock
the troops began to make towards Brussels. They met a
must determined resistance, and not until 1 o'clock, e.st.
did the troops make themselves masters of one of the
gates ; they ultimately possessed themselves yesterday,
atlernoon of the upper town. The whole of the day, until
!at? in the afternoon, very heavy firing of guns was heard,
mai again this morning. Reports on 'Change to day state
dilt at ten o'clock this morning, the troops had succeeded
in getting possession of all the gates of the unfortunate
tov.ii: however, no official accounts have reached here since
yesterday afternoon, when the prince's .first success was
announced. We remain here in a state of the most anxious
suspense. The reports all agree that the insurgents have
lost a great many men—far more than the troops—
as ;-rape-shot only secured the success which was gained
lq the troops, who were assailed from out the
houses, many of which have been brought down to the
ground by cannon shot. Three individuals presented them-
seh es before the Prince on Wednesday to treat, were ar-
ithta.d, and brought here. It would appear that they cams
to ttie Prince armed.

Since w citing the ab;rr—re bays been made acquainted
ids the purport of two private letters, received by t higblyl

respectable merchant, from Antwerp; and which apparently
carry their intelligence further down than is before expressed
—for they say that the capture of Brussels by. the Dutch
troops had been completed, after three days conflict and an
immense carnage.

The complete Report of the Commission appointed to in-
vestigate the accusation against the Ex-Ministers of
CHARLES X. is now before us; but its great length pre-
vents us from giving it entire. The temper, or indeed pur-
port, of the document, was conveyed to our Readers in
Saturday's STAR. Some facts, in a degree illustrative of
the great event in recent history, which has given rise to
the charge of treason, are developed in the course of the
Report; but these can be given in a much more com-
pendious mode, than by troubling our Readers to peruse the
entire voluminous document, and we shall take an op-
portunity of doing so. To make our Readers, in the mean
while, capable of forming a judgment how far the facts
alleged, can be brought within the criminating articles of
French law, by which the Ministers are to be tried, we shall,
in the first place, give the five articles of the Penal Code, on
which their fate depends:—

Mt. 91.—An attempt or plot, the aim of which shall be either to ex-
cite civil war by arming, or inducing the citizens or inhabitants to take
up arms against each other, or to carry devastation, massacre. or
pillage, into one or more communes, shall be punished with the pain of
death.

Art. 169.—1 f by tnmultuous crowds acts of violence, or menaces one
or more citizens shall have been prevented exercising their civil rights,
every one of those found guilty shall be punished with imprisonment
for six months at the least, and for two years at the most, and with the
interdiction of voting and being eligible for live years at least, and ten
years at most.
Art. 110.—If the crime shall have been committed in consequence
of a preconcerted plan, to be executed either in the whole kingdom, or
in one or mac departments or arrondissements, the punishment shall
be exile.

Art. 123. All combination of measures contrary to the established
laws, either by the union of individuals or of bodies which are entrusted
with any part of the public authority, either by deputation or corres.
pondence between them, shall be punished with imprisonment for two
months at least, and six months at most, against each delinquent who
may moreover be condemned to the interdiction of civil rights, and of
all public employment for six years at most.
Art. 126. In case this combination should have for Its object or result
a plot subversive of the safety of the interior of the state, the guilty
persons shall be punished with death.

The mere fact of signing the Ordonnances is apparently
all that can be fixed on the Ministers ; and there is distinct
evidence extending to all but POLIO NAC, that it was signed
with great reluctance, and even, after ineffectual protests.
It appears that the more fatal order for firing on the people
was countersigned only by POLIGNAC ; but there was no
conclusive evidence that his signature to that paper was not
merely official. The principal onus of the " tremendous
measure," as it is termed in this report, rests on the KING
himself. Tho facts regarding this order to fire, are princi-
pally to be found in the following paragraphs:

The 28th presented the spectacle of the King of France treating his
own capital as if it were the town of an enemy. Paris was actually be-
sieged—this centre of Fine Arts and of civilisation, twiceirespected by
foreign armies, was about to sustain a lot which it probably would not
have had to arehend from a third invasion. A Marshal of France is
to be chargedwith this horrible task, and again comes forth the Duke
of Ragusa How singular has been the destiny of this warrior—long
a participator in the glory of our arms, he appears at each of our pol[tial
eruptions like the evil genies of his country !
The Ordonnance that authorised this tremendous measure is counter.
signed by Prince de Polignac alone ; the three other Ex-Ministers now
in confinement with him have protested that they bad no knowledge of
it whatever—consequently, they were not admitted to the Council.
About two o'clock some Honourable Deputies, with a view of putting
a stop to the carnage, went to the blarshal, and proposed the recall of
the Ordonnances, the dismission of the Ministers, and the immediate
meeting of the Chambers s and upon these terms offered to become
mediators between the people and the army. The Marshal dared
not take upon himself the responsibility of suspending military
operations, but promised to communicate the proposals to Charles X.
The President of the Council, who was with the Marshal, appeared at
first to entertain these generous offers, but hesitated, and we find in the
Report of the Municipal Committee of Paris, that without listening to
them throughout, he concluded by declaring that the Ordonnances would
be withdrawn.

The Prince de Polignac asserts that he did write to the King, and
that the Marshal wrote likewise. He adds that the Marshal did not
communicate to him the answer he received from Charles X. and that
whenever he may be interrogated as to what the King may have writ.
ten or said to him personally, a sentiment of duty and honour would
impose upon him a profound silence. Alas ! Gentlemen, blood con-
tinued to Bow, and its effusion sufficiently informs us what was the
answer of the King.
We are happy to observe that the Report is drawn up
with temper and dignity. It concludes, as we mentioned,
on Saturday, with a declaration that justice, not vengeance,
is called for. From a careful perusal of the whole, we are
of opinion, that it has been to an unfortunate opinkitreti, and
rooted erroneous opinions in the mind of Charles the Tenth
himself, that the dreadful scene of the three days occurred.
We hardly think, in this country, the guilty co-operation of
the Ministers, except as far as official instruments, would be
adequately made out by the evidence ; and we think under
any view of the Ministers' guilt, the two most culpable indi-
viduals have escaped—the Duke de RAOUSA and the
KING. We trust that further bloodshed will be avoided.

FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.

RECEIVED THIS Day.

PARIS, Sum IS.
The Moniteur of this day contains an official notification
of the appointment of Marshal Maison to be Ambassador at
the Court of Vienna, and M. Bertin de Vaux to be Mi-
nister in the Netherlands.

It is said that the Duke de Treviso is to be appointed Am-
bassador at the Court of St. Petersburgh, the Duke de
Choiseul at Rome, and M. da Baranti at Turin. Another
report says, that Marshal Monier is to be the Ambassallur
at St. Petersburgh.—Le Globe.

SATURDAY, SEPT. 25.—The rumour of a partial change
in the Ministry has taken such consistence, that it Is no
more to be doubted that a very early change will in truth
take place. The retirement of M. M. Guizot, de Broglie,
and Mol6, is no longer a doubt amongst the clerks of the in-
terior, the foreign affairs, and public instruction. Nothing
is fixed as to the names of those who are to replace them.
From the best of authority—the Ministry of Finances, di-
vided into two sections—Finances and Treasury, are to be
trusted to M. M. Laffitte, and Casimir Perrier. As to the
Interior, M. M. Manguin, Baude, Odillon -Benet and Me-
rilhou, have been talked of.—Journal de Paris.

A change of Ministers appears certain, but a change of
principles much lees so. As if sixteen years of experience
were not sufficient to demonstrate, that if things do not go on
well, it is more on account of the insufficiency of our social
administration, than to men put at the head of it. It is a re-
form which was to have been the fruit of onr revolutbn, be-
cause the want of that reform had been the cause. This has
not been understood, and Ministers already find themselves
face to face with all sorts of embarrassment', and they in
consequence fall into all the hesitation of the restoration.--
There is not a moment to lose ; there must be a Ministry
identified with the present progressive ideas, not to say rove-,
lutionary ; all other combinations will be futile ; time Asps
on, and if the pe*e are not organised, they will orgar►w
themselves.—la Revelation.
A ministerial crisis has kept for these list tea eye pet*

opinion in a complete state of alarm. It was known that it
threatened to divide men equally able, firm, considerate,
and possessed of all those titles necessary to their country.
It was also believed that it had taken its birth amongst po-
pular societies, which have astonished Paris, frightened the
Departments, and hazarded the well-being of France. We
have the satisfaction to announce, that this night all has
been arranged. Great and good citizens could not fail to
understand each other upon such important questions. The
Cabinet remains untouched; strength remains as ever to the
wisdom in the Council ; the strength of the law will remain
in the State.—Journal des Debate, Sept. 25.

To-day, as yesterday, a great number of petitions have
been.signed at the Exchange by the leaders of commercial
interest, against the illegal clubs now existing, which is tho
principal cause of the deterioration of public credit, and the
sufferings of industry. Petitions, in the same sense, ad-
dressed to the Chamber of Peers, and that of the Deputies,
are in the hands of most of the lawyers and solicitors of
Paris. It is ascertained this night that a great many
honourable citizens are employed, in their respective streets,
in getting petitions signed for the same end. Public wis-
dom will thus, without the concurrence or interference of
authorities, put an end to a disorder, that the Government
had, however, the intention to repress by the power of the
law.--Journal des Debate.

On Thursday there was another turn out of the black-
smiths, hatters, and others, for a reduction of their hours of
labour, and an increase of wages. Some of the masters who
would not agree to the demands of the workmen, bad closed
their manufactories, and endeavoured to induce others to do
the same. The workmen assembled to the number of be-
tween 4 and 5000, on the quays, and paraded different parts
of Paris, with drums, &c. They, however, conducted them•
selves in a very peaceable manner —and as the National
Guards mustered very strong, and numerous patrols were
made during the day, and greater part of the night, the work-
men dispersed very quietly, and have not since sheen any
symptoms of re-assembling. Some few have been arrested.

Tho Cbambre d'Accusation has decided upon the case of
Les Amis du Peuple, by ordering Messrs. Hubert and
Thierry to bo sent before the Tribunal of Correctional Po-
lice, as the chiefs or directors of a meeting of more than
twenty persons, for discussing political subjects, without
being authorised by the Government, and for having, at
lone of their meetings, excited by their speeches, the persons
present to overthrow the Chamber of Deputies. The Chain-
ber declared that there was no ground for the prosecution on
account of the handbills which were seized, as their publica-
tion was not fully effected.—Messager des Chambres.

It has been rumoured, upon the authority of letters from
Frankfort, that disturbances have taken place at Vienna.
The German Papers are silent on the subject; but a full
of 11 per cent. upon the Metalliques, and of 30 florins
upon Bank Shares, on 'Change, at Vienna, on the 11th
and 13th inst. seems to indicate some event, upon which
the censorship of Prince Metternich prescribes secrecy.—
Courrier Francais.

It is stated in a letter of the 18th inst. from Mets, that it is
the wish of the departments on the frontiers to organise
without delay national guards in the villages. The Prefects
have not received any orders to that effect, although there
are 100,000 Prussians at only 25 leagues from Metz.—
Le Temps.

The public regulations adopted by the Austrian Govern-
ment in Italy are so rigid, that they are necessarily injurious
to the interests of their neighbours. The letters from Na-
ples, Rome, and Bologna, are examined and marked at
Milan. The post marks of the towns from whence they
are sent are effaced, and the letters of several of our mer-
chants hare been delayed, whereby business has sustained
occasionally very great inconvenience. Such a state of
things cannot be tolerated. If the Italian States wish to
concur with Austria, in preventing popular distur-
bances, let them adopt every salutary measure; but
let them refuse to pursue such a revolting system of oppres-
sion. We have been informed that complaints have been
laid before our Minister of Foreign Affairs, and we do not
doubt but this subject will have serious attention. We know
that offices for opening letters have been established atVerona.
Inspruck, and Bregentx, in which a great number of persons
are employed.—Le Temps.

We regret to find, about a month ago, that the Burghers
of Belgium bad arrested the enthusiasm of the people, and
sought to exclude their influence in a revolution in which
their instinct first engaged. In every revolution, they act
a part of which nothing can supply the place—the part of
energy, and blind intrepidity, for which they are particularly
suited by their want of foresight, their precarious condition,
and their being used to perilous labours. The populace
should not be called in to deliberate on the results
of the victory, because in that, wisdom, and not bold-
ness is requisite ; but without their concurrence, there
is no complete victory over tyranny. The Bel-
gian Burghers disregarded this truth, which had just
been proclaimed in so striking a manner by our glorious re-
volution ; they wished to do without the populace ; they
entered into negotiation when the gauntlet had been thrown,
and it was necessary to finish by the sword. The Belgians
have committed an error, in having suffered themselves to
be drawn upon a ground, where persuasion and well-founded
representations cannot prevail. They have shewn that
they feared the people ; and that they have been treated
at the Hague as placed between two fires, as having
more interest m favouring despotism, than in allying
themselves with what is called anarchy. What will
be the result of this mistaken wisdom ? Nobody can
foresee it. The populace, whom it has been sought to
induce to lay aside their natural aversion to the Dutch, already
show that they will not submit to the shameful conditions to
which the Burghers might resign themselves. This time it
will be necessary to give them their own way, and the im-
mense advantage held out in the beginning, by the alarm of
the Dutch Government, will be lost. This Government re-
covering from its surprise, will not be easily conquered.—
Will Belgium by itself be able to repel a regular attack ?
Will it be able to stand without foreign aid ? This is the
great question.—Le National.

It was stated in all the French papers that the ex-Minie-
ters bad been removed to the Luxembourg ; this statement,
however, has 'turned out to be incorrect, as the apartments
destined to receive them are not ready for their reception.
The following are the particulars of the preparations making
for their accommodation :—Five large rooms have been fur-

niched with stoves ; each room has two windows, which are
guarded by iron bars, and four have blinds contrived to pre-
vent their looking down. The room without blinds looks
into the garden, and here, it is supposed, that they will
take their meals together. A sixth room, of equal
dimenskas has been divided into several comtarenents, as a
reception room for their respective visitors. ey ars on
first floor of the building called Le Petit Luxembourg. All
the moms, except that which is supposed to be intended fot
their dining room, look into the court-yard towards the Itee
de Vansigard. The wall of this court might be easily scald ;
but on the side of it will be placed a post of the Nukes'
Guards, and if may attempt be made for their escape, it will

not be in this direction. Twelve boxes, for as many sentinels,
are placed within the Court, which is by no means large ;
and the whole of the ground-floor has been furnished with camp
beds, and consequently will contain a very numerous guard.
There is a lodging for the director and the turnkeys, with a
small 'and rather dark kitchen. A small door leads into the
private garden ; and the passage across the corridors, and
the small court, which must be passed in order to reach it,
has been so arranged, as to lead to the belief that the pri-
soners will be allowed to take the air. The stair-cases are
closed in on all sides by wainscoating. The doable doors
leading into each room, have been screwed up on one aide,
so as to admit of only one person passing at a time either in
or out. To proceed from their rooms to the Chamber of
Peers, the Ex-Ministers must pass by the small Court.
They will come out of the door facing the great garden, and
traverse a narrow passage formed by a double high paling, to
the foot of the grand staircase leading up to the Chamber of
Peers, by which they will ascend to the Chamber, en-
tering by the western door. The two lines of paling are
again protected by others on each side, distant from the
inner lines about thirty feet. The works are far from being
finished, and will probably take another fortnight, so that it
will scarcely be possible that the removal will take place be-
fore the end of the first week in October. I was this morn-
ing (Saturday) at the Luxembourg, and observed a great
number of men employed in barricading every part that was
at all accessible ; but instead of being intended to prevent
any rescue from being attempted, it is in all probability to
protect the prisoners from the fury of the inhabitants of
Paris ; as it is feared by many that unless the Ex-Ministers
are brought into Paris secretly—which is hardly possible
—they will have summary, justice inflicted on them by the
populace.

Extract of a letter from Algiers, Sept. 11.—" Since the
departure of M. de Bourmont, search has been made, and
information taken, to prove, as nearly as possible, the
amount left in the Treasury by the Dey at the Cassauba.
Tho result of all the inquiries gathered, of the sums found
at the taking of Algiers, is computed at ninety millions ;
of which forty is in gold and silver coin, and fifty in bars.
It is calculated that the Dey and his suite have taken fron,
twelve to fifteen millions. Forty-three millions have been
dispatched to France, and the surplus has passed into the
hands of certain persons, who find in the possession of for-
tune the reward which merit or glory has refused them.
Investigations, which are about to take place, will point out
the principal authors of the theft."—Journal Commerce.

loss. This is the first combat and the first victory, gained
on these shores under the tri-colourod flag.

Extract of a private letter of the 6th ult. from Algiers :
" The General-in-Chief to-day commenced his reviews of
the different corps, and delivered to them iu succession the
tri-coloured flag. The Committee of Inquiry have begun
their investigation. Yesterday they examined the only
State Secretary of the fey remaining in Algiers, but they
obtained little or no information from him. He was equally
ignorant with the rest of the world as to the real amount of
his master's treasures, and was not present when they were
opened after the capture of the place, but the unanimous
opinion is that they amounted to about 250 millions. Yes-
terday the Commission of Government, General Clausel
as president, held a first Council. It decreed the formation
of a tribunal, to be composed of three Frenchmen, two Moore,
and two Jews, as Judges ; a Procureur du Roi, and a Re-
gistrar. The next sitting will be occupied in forming a
regular and permanent municipality. Thus, by degrees,
order and good government will be established ; and, in
the end, the Algerines will have cause to rejoice that
they have fallen under the dominion of France."

The following is an extract of a letter from the frontiers of
Spain, dated Sept. 18. " The avenues at the foot of the
mountains which command the Bidoasa towards hun, are
guarded by a battalion of local militia, from Guipuscoa. St.
Sebastian is in a state of siege ; the arrival of a strange:
creates a powerful sensation, and he is subjected to so many
formalities, that ho might fancy himself in the neighbour-
hood of a Chinese town. In the Basque provinces, 30,000
men are under arms. Several corps of regular troops are
marching from the interior of Spain towards Vittoria and
Arragon. There are military movements in all the Spanish
provinces contiguous to France."

Letters from Lisbon, of the Bth instant, state that order:,
have been issued for shutting up all the shops at nightfall;
and, after 9 o'clock, the officers arrest every person found in
the streets. If, on being searched, any papers are found
upon them, they are taken before the Commissary; and if
they happen to have arms about them, they are imprisoned.
The same orders have been given at Oporto, and Col. Mar-
tion has planted cannon in all the principal streets.—Con-
stitsitionnel.

The Government has received despatches from the Captain-
Genetal of Guipuzcoa, which announces that the inha-

of troops are marching towards Arragon, Catalonia, Na-
varre, and Biscay, and many regiments have already arrived
at their destination. Ihe consolidated vales are quoted to-
day at 36i, and some business has been done on Change in
them. The non-consolidated vales are 34, and bank ac-
tions, 18k.

DAZSDEN, SEPT. 17.—The magic events at Paris have

similar events have occurred.
