THE EVENING STAR.

His MAJESTY, who arrives in town this day, after holding
a Council at St. James's Palace, and receiving the City
Authorities to-morrow, will immediately after return to
Brighton.
...--.......

At a late hour this afternoon, we were favoured with the
perusal of letters from Antwerp of the Ist instant, which state
that great excitement prevailed there, and that the guns on
the ramparts had been turned against the town. Most of
the leading merchants had sent their goods on ship-board, 1
and were preparing to follow, with a view of going to Rot-'
terdam. The communication with Flanders was cut off.

Ajeneral levy of troops has been ordered by the Dutch
Government. All volunteers between the age of 18 and 40,
are to be admitted into the army, and to receive twenty
florins.

We have this day received the Hamburgk Reporter of the
10th instant, which conveys the important tidings, that local
disturbances continue to take place in different parts of
Germany. In Mentz and Hannan, the Custom Houses
have been burnt down. In Prague, the Catholics and Pro-
testants have had some difference, the result of which was
the de'structiun of the Lutheran Church in that city. In
Frankfort the public authorities have'been adopting precau-
tionary measures. In Munich the different military posts
have been doubled ; and in Posen the magistrates have
had recourse to the expedient of issuing a proclamation to
to the people, informing them that every thing continued
quiet. Disiprbances, more or less serious, have also taken
place at Carlesbrue, and Jena, &c.
The Duke of SA XE GOTIIA, by way of anticipating dis-
turbances, 13tely called the principal inhabitants together,
and invited them to lay their grievances, if they had any,
before him. They accordingly did so. The Duke heard
all they had to say ; and then dismissed them, with a request
that they would pet all their grievances on paper, and hand
them over to him for mature consideration.

At last it appears nearly decided, that the Dutch and Bel-
gians are no longer to remain part of one kingdom ; and we
believe that the 'separation ism popular a measure with the
Dutch as with the Pelgians. When a divorce is, there-
fors, mutually desired, wlol'ir properly object to its being
carried into effect ? Wt ventured to say very early in the
cOnlict, that WS thougitt the Ulrich would not object to the
befstratiou. When we say the oittch, we mean the large

mass of the commonalty ; for, no doubt, there may be
exceptions among the higher classes.
Every one that has read the history of Dutch commerce,
must know that the commercial interests of the Dutch com-
mercial ports, Amsterdam and Rotterdam, always throve
only, when the energies of Antwerp were under restraint:
and that even in their connected state, from the impartiality
the KIN° had endeavoured to observe, a degree of un-
friendly rivalry has never failed to exist. The commission

business, which is the safest and therefore the most favou-
rite commercial branch of the Dutch, has been for some-
time leaving Rotterdam and Amsterdam ; and concentrating
at Antwerp. All the expensive Canals which have been
made, with so much ability, and praiseworthy patronage by
Government, to give advantage to the Dutch Ports, have
all proved abortive, and unsuccessful investitures of capital.
The principal cause of this predilection for the Port of
Antwerp, and its obtaining the Commission Agency
of Foreign Traders, is, that the national character of the
Flemish Merchant, is more liberal and adventurous than
the Dutch, and he is more ready to advance against con-
signments, and give those facilities, without which consign-
ments, it is well known, are now seldom made. This spirit
of the Antwerp capitalist, the superiority of his river, for
unexpensively discharging cargoes, and the excellent and
cheap warehouses, now applied to commerce, but which
NAPOLEOIf reared for other objects, give, at present,
a decided advantage to Antwerp ; and therefore it
is, that most of the localized capitalists of Holland, will
not regret entire separation from their Belgian connection,
even should the separation include that noble commercial
city.which we presume it will ultimately do—whether
insurrection has spread there yet or not.

But we are not only of opinion, that the Dutch will not
regret the separation, but we believe that the interests of
Holland, if properly viewed, would recommend it to tho
Dutch, as an event of prudent policy. The affairs
of the seven United Provinces, never have thriven so
well, as when they were the objects of distinct manage-
ment. Their importance—their commercial wealth—
have been derived from sources peculiarly their own, and,
indeed, of their own making; and if the present KING could
be wise enough to become the plain quiet head of the frugal
industrious race, called properly Dutchmen, he would be
relieved of much contingent and difficult personal greatness,
and all Europe would leave his people unmolested in the
exertion of their peculiar energies.
We perceive, however,what is likely to be the feeling of the
commercial Flemings and Brabanters. If they separate from
the Dutch, they will feel it more for their interest to form
connection with France, than attempt an independence,
which could only be on sufferance, and precarious. In
fact, when we view minutely the interests of this peculiarly
situated country.which, like the marches between England
and Scotland—seems doomed to constant vicissitudes, the

mind cannot but regret that the natural divisions of the rivers
which have, in fact, occasioned differences in the population,
and differences in their interests, should not be allowed to dis-
tinguish them politically as States. We doubt much the prac-
ticability of the ten States, forming an independent one un-
less by the agreement of the great surrounding Powers ; but
we think had such an arrangement taken place, at the Great
Congress of the Allied Powers, it would have been more
permanent than that which is now dissolving. In the pre-
sent posture of affairs, to form, even on conjecture, a view
of the future, is almost impossible.
A scene of revolutionary vicissitudes, and conflicts be•
tween contending partial interests, will, we have no doubt,
intervene, and the peace of all Europe be destroyed, unless
a new Congress of the Great allied States take upon itself
to re-arrange, and enforce by power, what has proved mal-
arranged before.
As far as this nation is likely to interfere, we feel cer-
tain, that unless some new events occur more directly to
involve its interests or honour, it will not interfere in any
way, but by negooiation. The wise pacific policy so uni-
formly pursued, even under the most embarrassing events,
by our present administration, leaves us nothing to
apprehend ; and the reported evacuation of Algiers by the
French, evinces a similar pacific tendency in the present
' French Cabinet.

We have by Express the Gazette de France of yesterday's
date, and papers and letters of Sunday night. The follow-
ing is an extract of a letter of the latter date :—" You will
observe that the two principal members of the society of
' The Friends of the People, have been condemned to fine
and imprisonment. This decision will not, however, pre-
vent this and similar societies from assembling in secret. In
fact, we shall soon have swarms of secret societies of all
descriptions. A new paper is coming out under the name
of L'Avenir (the future). The celebrated Abbe.Da r,w Me•
Kitts is at the head of it. It will be conducted, it is said,
in almost a revolutionary style. Unrestricted liberty in every
respect will be the basis of its political operations. It will
be a curious spectacle to see some of the ardent Royalists
calling out lustily for universal suffrage, unlimited liberty
for education, and for religious opinions, whilst the ardent
Liberals of the National, the Coxstitutionnet, and the
Journal des Debats,are reading lectures to the people, upon
the necessity of moderation, and upon the danger of excess'
sive liberty.

The National has published an article upon Algiers,
which clearly indicates that the Government is desirous off'
withdrawing the French troops from thence, and of finally
giving the place up altogether. Some of the Papers are

speaking of the reception of the Duke de MONTEBELLO at
Madrid. The Duke having gone there merely as the bearer
of a letter, and not as an Ambassador, could not expect to
be treated as such. Much alarm exists in the diplomatic
corps, and amongst the Ministers, respecting the general
state of affairs; the danger of a general war is fully spoken
of; but it is not likely, so long as the present Ministers retain
office, which, however, I am afraid will not be long.

From La Revolution.
We learn from Bayonne, under date the 28th Sept.
that the Spanish troops and the militia of Biscay had suc-
cessively arrived on the frontiers, and taken up their can-
tonments in the neighbouring villages. The number of
Spanish refugees in the western Pyrenees is very consider-

able; and every day parties of twenty-five and thirty men
arrived from France. "'boss }ad been increased by deserters
from St. Sebastian, and other points where there were
Spanish posts near the frontier. Great events may be ex-
pected in October. Letters received to-day from Lisbon,
dated the 18th Sept. mention that a great sensation pre-
vailed in that Capital, that the finances of the Government
were exhausted, and the workmen of the Arsenal without
pay. The Government had forced the Bank to furnish a
sum of 60 centos of reis.
From the Journal des Debate.

BILALIN, Ssrr. 24.—The 18th and the 19th, in the
evening, the assemblages recommenced ; and although less
numerous than before, did not show less determination.
Nevertheless, the disturbers have not destroyed or burnt any
dwelling, nor broke any window, nor made any serious at.
tack against the military. The people have confined
themselves to shouting " Hurrah !" as they rush through
the streets. The officers of the police who ordered the arrest
of the sailor boys, has been, it is true, suspended by his
companions, and the apprentices have not the less continued
to join in the tumult. It is generally believed by
our bourgeois, that the government have altogether
overtaken the nature of the events,land that they would have
been better terminated by kindness. As it is, only one volley
was fired, which wounded nobody, but numerous blows of
the sabre have been given. On the 20th all was tranquil,
and should the tumult not change its character, there will
be no fear of things taking a serious turn. The inhabitants
quietly rest iu their beds whilst the populace and military are
rushing under their windows. The decoration of the Black
Eagle has been given to the minister of state Humboldt.
From the Gazette de Lausanne.

Letters from Zug state, that " the Grand Council of this
Canton had been extraordinarily assembled on the 16th Sept.
to bear a report upon the accession to the throne of Louis
Philippe, King of the French. The President of the Coun-
cil, M. M. Sydler, developed, with great energy, the advan-
tages offered to Switzerland, by the happy change in France.
I—The Assembly had unanimously resolved to send M. de
Tsohann, as Charge d'Affaires at Paris, letters for the King.
From La Quotidiemse.

MADRID, SETT. 26.—The militia regiments raised in
Spain are to the number of forty. The Colonels of regi-
ments not actually under arms, have recived orders from the
Inspector-General of the Militia to hold themselves ready
tojoin at a moment's notice. It is reported in the diploma-
tic circles, that Prince Talleyrand was on the point of ar-
ranging gr his return to France. During the last six days
we have had no arrival of couriers from St. Petersburg.
