FLANDERS AND DUTCH MAIL.

THE HAGUE, SEPT, 22.—A courier was dispatched this morning
to Weimar, to announce, as we are informed, that his Majesty the
King has given up his intention of going to Weimar.
The magistrates have issued a proclamation relative to the dis-
turbance which took place here on the 20th and 21st instant, the
object of which was to compel the dealers to reduce the price of
provisions. The proclamation warns the inhabitants against such
disorder, and threatens exemplary punishment to all who shall join
in them. It is said that four persons are arrested.

A number of persons collected again this evening before the
house of a mealman who seems to be especially obnoxious. The
assemblage was summoned three times to disperse, and a strong
detachment of grenadiers and cuirassiers immediately advanced
and disperecd the crowd.

C 'ERSIaNS TO ROMANISM.
The secession of Mr. Capes, a clergyman of Bridgwater,
from the Protestant to the Romish Church, occurred a month
or two ago, and excited considerable attention, especially as
be had but recently exhibited his zeal for the English Estab-
lishment by erecting and endowing a magnificent chapel-of-
' ease, of which he was the popular minister. Last week we
copied an account from a provincial Contemporary, to the
effect that a highly-respectable inhabitant of Bridgwater (a
Mr. Poole), with his three sisters, had followed the example
of Mr. Capes, and were become duly recognished members of
the Church of Rome. We looked upon this as an unfortu-
nate but not unnatural sequence to the defection of an erring
shepherd, some of who e flock would be very likely to be
affected by his altered view's. But the communication of a
correspondent informs us, that with respect at least to the
sisters of Mr. Poole, this inference is not sustained, in-
asmuch as they have been for a year and a half past
resident at Ilfracombe, and consequently far removed
from the ministry of Mr. Capes. But that is not nil ;
while sojourning at Ilfracombe they have been ia•
mates of the family of the curate of the parish, the Rev.
Spencer Northcote, who is a near relative (a brother-
in-law), and who happens to be deeply tinctured with the
views of the Pusey and Newman school, a sufficient
proof of which will be accepted in the fact that he went
purposely to Oxford on the occasion of the late degradation
of the author of the "Ideal Church," to give his support to
Mr. Ward, whose subsequent conversion to Popery is no-
torious. We have learnt also, that during the recent stay
of Dr. Pusey at Ilfracombe (in whose congenial soil, by the
invitation of the vicar and with the sanction of the bishop,
the doctor has been suffered, both last year and this, to exer-
cise his ministry, from which he was interdicted by the high
authorities of Oxford, as a punishment for his heresy),
among his most favoured and intimate associates were Mr.
Northcote and his sisters-in-law. These circumstances, as
well as the questionable character of Mr. Northcote's preach-
ing, and the partiality and intention he has shown to indi-
vidual members of the Roman Catholic communion, have
induced very
_painful apprehensions in the minds of many
of the truly Protestant members of the Church at Ilfra-
combe, who consider that the vicar is bound to ascertain
the fidelity of his curate, and to protect the congregation
from the insidious effects of a semi-Romish ministry, of
whose pernicious tendency the secession of the Misses
Poole is an admonitory instance. Such, at least, is the opi-
nion of the esteemed correspondent who writes us. But
knowing the leaning of the vicar, which has been too pal-
pable for years past to admit of question, we confess we
wonder that the slightest expectation should be entertained
of his interposition to correct an evil to which his own
example has given the greatest possible encouragement. We
would recommend the Protestant portion of the congregation at
Ilfracombe to appeal at once to the Bishop ; and if he be not
more tolerant of Romanism than he is of the mildest form of
Protestant Dissent; they will not appeal to him in vain. A
case precisely in point occurred not long ago in the west of
Cornwall. A clergyman of established character, whose
Protestantism and piety were alike above suspicion, was
reported of to the Bishop that he permitted, or did not pre-
vent, a member of his family going occasionally to a
Wesleyan chapel ; and so was his Lordship moved with
indignation at such an act of infidelity to the Church,
that although he had just before been himself coquetting
with the Wesleyans, and inviting them to return
to the bosom of the Establishment, he at once and
peremptorily withdrew the clergyman's license, and he
was compelled to quit the diocese. In vain did he plead
the right of private judgment to his family,-and inability
to restrain his children ; the Bishop met him with a quo-
tation from Timothy—"lf a man know not how to rule his
own house, how shall he take care of the church ;" and the
clergyman was silenced. If so severe a penalty were the
just demerit of a minister, himself unsuspected, who merely
allowed his wife i r daughter (still remaining inembleNr,7sifitntod
regular attendants at the church) to make a I
the Wesleyans—a body which had so little cloep!tcFatsseetoleafir,oonAilite_

Bayssims, SEPT. 2.—The Senate met to-day at three o'clock.
A Committee was appointed to examine the project of law for the
free importation of various articles of subsistenes, and that for a
vote of credit to continue the works of the canal of Campine.
Their Majesties the King and Queen and her Royal Highness
the Duchess of Kent came to Brussels yesterday.
The King set out this morning at eight o'clock for the camp at
Beverloo. It is now evident that the opposition of the depart.
ment of the North to the renewal of the treaty of the 16th of
July is not occasioned by any distress of the linen manufacturers
in that part of France, nor by the fear of seeing that branch of
manufacture suffer by the competition of Belgium. All the in-
formation that we have been able to obtain on the spot agrees in
representing the linen manufacture in France as very flourishing,
and with a prospect of becoming still more so, notwithstanding the
treaty of the 16th of July.

Tun HAGUE, Serr. 23.—Tranquillity is perfectly restored. Some
rioters were arrested yesterday evening and during the night.
Every precaution will be taken this evening to prevent any further
disturbance.

HAARLEM, SEPT 22.—We have to-day some disturbances in this
city. A band of mischievous boys assembled in the afternoon, and
towards evening paraded the streets, and broke the windows of
some mealmen. A detachment of troops immediately came to
support the police, by which the shops were protected, and further
,disorders prevented.
