intend to occupy Belgium for an inch fiteite period. and fir
purp:ses which they have not avowed. When Lord

Yet we find Marshal Souls protniaine, amidst the peclante-

say to this? Has he not had enough of war with it nide

effect. Europe does not fear Prance. Enpland, Freesia.
Austria, and Holland, will prove too marry for France, if
France be weak enough and de perste enough to fling away
the noblest stake that ever was ventured to-_the revival of
Poland, for the sake of a selfish, sordid, aid inctiloinoide
project relating to the Belgic province*.
CHILI PNICLE.—Mr. Hume mot very properly postponed
his motion with respect to the see of Derry, in order not to
interfere with the reform bill. The truth is, that whatever
may be the intentions of ministers with regard to the Irish
Church, they ought at all events to avoid fillleg up any va-
cancies in the great sees till reform is disposed of. It is well
known that the clergy of the church of England changed
their religion four times in the course ot thi ty years, for the
sake of their livings, and there are few consciences in the
three kingdoms capable of holding ou- against such prices.
So long as translations trom poor to rich sees are allowed,
so lung will Bishops vote in support of the government for
the time being. Whatever, therefore, may be intended with
regird to Deny, nothing should be said about it at prevent.
POST—One of the 37 amendments to the Reform Pill
now on the Paper was brought forward last night by Mr.
Hume, viz. the proposition of giving cited representatien to
the Br.tisb Colonies. Tae details of the plan of the Hone
Member are not quite satisfactory, but in the principle we
fully and cordially coincide. A subject so highly important
to the power and interests of the E lire must not be lost
night of, and the thanks of the Country are due to the
Honourable Member for Middlesex f r introducing
We would direct particular notice to the remarks of Sir
J. Malcolm, also to those of Mr Dirge and Sir C.
Wetherell.
CHRONICLE—A motion was made last night by Mr.
Hume' " That it be an instruction to the Committee upon
the Reform Bill to make a provision for he Ilium to that
house of members to represent the Colonies and Foreign
Possessions of his Majesty." %Pe hare no hesitation in die.

CHRONICLE —The Belgians have been defeated.
Why is this? ISt, BECAUSE THE lIEVOLUTIOIi OF
SEPTEMBED HAS NOT ATTAINED ITS END. It was nut
made to place Prince Leopold on the Throne—to make Bel-
gium a sort of English Colony—to sacrifice to Dutch avarice
and ambition the cession of the province of Limbourg, and
the forts of Maesericht and Veilloo—to establish a country
incapable. of defence—and then to deprive it of all the
strong places which have been erected on the muthent
fronting; but it was made to drive away the Nassaus--
to procure libert7 and nationality • but at the tante lime
a re-union with France. Those who made the Revolution
cannot, therefore, now recognize their own work—cannot
discover, in the • arrangement' made by the fireFewerte. the
cffspring of the events of September, 1830, but hod a bastard
