F E EV ENING STAR.

Early this morning, the Herald published a second edi-
tion, in which it was stated, that by an extraordinary Ex-
press, the following letter had been received from a corres-
pondent at Ostend, dated Monday:—
" I hasten to send you the important communication
which has just been made to me, that a Prussian army
has entered Belgium. They have opened at three se-
veral points —first, by increasing the garrison at Luxem-
bourg (where 4,000 Prussians always were by treaty) to
16,000 men ; next, by Maestricht, with 6,000 men ; and
then at a point more north in Guelders, which I cannot dis-
tinctly make out, with 8,000 men. The whole are to be direct-
ed on Brussels. It is further said that the Prussian force
destined for this service amounts altogether to 50,000 men,
and that Prince Albert, who lately married the daughter of
the King of Holland, is at their head. Aware how news-
paper intelligence is perverted to Stock Exchange pur-
poses, I think it right to keep myself clear of any charge
f that nature, by saying that the above intelligence has
not been communicated to me in an official shape. I be-
lieve it, however, to be true ; and the English family
to whom it was sent, by a friend, from Maestricht, are
acting upon it, and intend to quit this country on Tuesday.
We are without any additional intelligence from Brussels.
If the Provisional Government are acquainted with the
march of the Prussians, they have not as yet communicated

it to the people. A report, 'however, prevails; that M. de
Port.Ea has gone to Paris; and if the news be true, it is
probable that he has done so to demand amistance."
We have received no confirmation of this intelligence;
but we find by the Paris papers of Monday, received by ex-
press this afternoon, that the Prussian troops were fast as-
sembling on the Rhine ; and that Prince WILLIAM was
expected immediately to put himself at their head. In the
nieanw•hile, the news given by the Herald has had
some effect on the funds, the speculators fearing,
at the same time, that it might turn out a stock-jobbing
concern, having made its appearance just before the ac-
count day. To strengthen their doubts, they recal to me-
mory the speech of the French Minister MOLE ; wherein he
stated that none of the Continental Powers had the slightest
intention of intermeddling in the affairs of Belgium ;
and they presume that the Count could not have been
ignorant of the views of Prussia, when lie made this
declaration. All this, however, is mere matter of specu-
lation ; and another day—perhaps a few hours—may bring
tidings of a more decisive character.

The Ostend Steamer, and Rotterdam Steamers arrived at
one o'clock this day ; and we are now enabled to dispel all
the doubts and suspicicuis which have been excited by the
letter in the lientld this morning, and given above.
The impels and letters by these conveyances are
perfectly silent on the subject of the march of
the Prussians into Belgium ; on the contrary, the informa-
tion from Holland would lead us confidently to hope, that
the Prince of One NGE would be able to accomplish a settle-
ment of the disputes, which have so long agitated the pro-
vinces of his kingdom. It is alleged, however, that this
cannot be done, without great sacrifices on the part of the
KING.

One of the letters which we have just perused states, that
Rimy of the mute opulent inhabitants of Brussels had
I:ft that city, with their property ; and the acts of the

Provisional Government had been viewed with much'
anxiety and apprehension. It appears that they are not
without differences among themselves : three parties are ex-
istiug—one who would advocate a return to their old po-
sition with the KING, with some modifications of his power
as regards Belgium ; another party openly advocate a re-
publican form of Government; and a third, will never be
satisfied with any arrangement, but that which includes a
junction with France.
In the meanwhile, there is a great deficiency of provi-
sions, and the humbler orders are becoming veridiscon-
tented.

We have been favoured with the perusal of a private
letter from Amsterdam, addressed_ to a very opulent mer-
chant, intimately connected with Holland, confirmatory of
what we have above stated ; and likewise conveying to us
the following facts :

" The Minister of Finance is authorized to contract a loan
of twenty minion' of guilders, with the Netherland Bank ;
five millions of guilders 4i per Cents; and a capital of
fifty millions of guilders of the real debt; to be inscribed
in the names of the President and Directors
the Bank ; and upon this capital • loan of twenty millions
of guilders is to be raised, redeemable within two years,
years, to begin from the Ist of March, 1831; to be paid
off by the Ist of March, 1833.—thb Loan to be divided
into shares, at 51 per cent. interest."

We have tbe Constihrtionnsl and National Paris papers
of Monday ; but they do not convey many more important
particulars, than will be found in the various continental
passages given elsewhere in these columns. We observe
that rumours prevailed at Warsaw of a modification in the
Russian Ministry ; and the news we gave yesterday of Sir
E. ColininuTon's arrival at St. Petersburgh is repeated.

We likewise find that when the French Ambassador at
Constantinople, GUILLENINOT, had announced to the
Poare the great events at Paris, and accession of Louis
PIIILLIPE, he was referred to the REIN EFFENDI,
who intimated to the Count, that no acknowledg-
ment at present could be given to the new Ktsci of the
French ; whereupon a lively discussion ensued ; and, so
late as the 10th of September, it was not known what
measures the Poirrs would pursue.

Letters from Cadiz, of the '2sth September. inform us
that the Go►ernor of that City bad been dismissed by the
Captain-General, on account of his cognisance of a project
of the Carlists, to proclaim the Infant, Don CA as.os, King
of Spain. Three companies, who joined in this measure, bad
been disarmed on the 24th of September.

A letter from Leipsic is given in the Paris papers received
by express this day, dated the 3d instant, stating that an
insurrection had broken out in the capital of Silesia. Ac-
counts just then received, conveyed the intelligence of the
whole population being up in arms ; the streets were in the
occupation of the military ; and artillery had been placed
in the Grand Square. The cause of these troubles had not
transpired when the letter was despatched.

Under the head of Foreign Intelligence, our Readers will
peruse probably with some surprise, but we have no doubt
with considerable pleasure, that the Kiso of SPAIN has
at last taken an accurate view of his hazardous posi-
tion ; and that he appears to be adopting the best 'mode
of extricating himself from it. He has at last assembled
around him that class of his Statesmen and Nobility, who
are of the moderate party ; and we cannot have a
better test of the sincerity of the SiNo's intentions, and
the favourable character of the men, under whose guidance
he is inclined to act, than that his conduct has given alarm to
the Carlist faction 'who, it appears, had meditated a re-
volutionary movement in favour of their adopted chief.
FERDIN•ND has not much credit with the popular
party ; and, therefore, there will be -considerable difficulty,
whatever be the nature of his acts, to obtain much con-
fidence for them ; but we think the time has come with
him, when honest policy will be decidedly the
best; and we can hardly believe he will be so blind to the
fate which otherwise awaits him, not to desist from any fur-
-1 ther dissimulation with his people. Should he do so, we
think there is that spirit of moderate conciliation in the
Spanish character, that he would be able soon to convert
those who are now preparing to be leaders against him, Into
good and loyal subjects ; but before he can accomplish
such a change, he must give some solid proofs that he no
longer denies his people, those social institutions and privi-
leges, which are not only analogous to what has been imme-
Imorially enjoyed in Spain, but which are in course of being
established all over Europe. Could FIiRDI WAN D thus act,
all considerate politicians, we are sure, would rejoice that
Spain should have escaped so happily from the miseries
of a more violent revolution.

PARIS, OCT. 10.
REVOLUTIONARY MOVEMENT IN TUSCANY.

Florence, hitherto the most peaceable of all the cities of
Italy, has lately been in a state of great disturbance. Some
enthusiasts carried the tricoloured flag for three hours
through the streets of the city, preceded by bands of music.
The appearance of the French flag caused all the workmen
to leave their employment, and the cortege continually in-
creased. They stopped for a short time at the foot of the
equestrian statue upon the Place of the Grand Duke. Al-
though the multitude filled the entire Place, the Guard at the
Palace did not interfere. The soldiers, by endeavouring to
pull down the flag, would have increased the tumult.—
The event proved how wisely they acted; for, having arrived
at Canine, the procession dispersed without any distur-
bance. The flag and drums have been so carefully concealed
that the police have not been able to discover them. The cries
made use of did not express any hostility to the reigning Duke,
the only words were " Liberty," " Constitution," " the
Country." The local authorities took means to suppress the
sedition, when it had been put an end to, and order estab-
lished, by the disappearance of the chiefs at their rallying
point.
The Grand Duke, his family, and the Courtt are not in
Tuscany; the Ministers are in the country. It is
the absence of these members of the Government
which gave occasion to this republican display.-
IThis fact proves, nevertheless, that there only wants
a proper occasion to produce in all parts of /tidy
serious movements to cause the cessation of that oppression
Iwhich afflicts the people, and to induce the governments to
grant constitutional laws to protect their subjects against
the tyranny of Ministerial despots, and the caprices of pro-
digal and dissolute Courts.
The day before yesterday 300 superior officers met at the
Garden of Plants, and repaired to the Cemetery of Pere la
Chaise, to honour the remains of the unfortunate La Be-
doyere. M. Delounoy, Chef de Bataillon, his Aide-de-
Camp, pronounced over the tomb an oration, of which we
regret we can only report the following passage. It proves that
La Bedoyere was more a friend of liberty than a partisan of
the Emperor. " Called to the command of the 7th regiment
of the line, on the return of Napoleon, could he remain un-
faithful to his ancient recollection of glory ?" Ab ! let those
at least who have imputed to him this circumstance
as a crime, know with what sentiments he addressed
the great General at their first interview :—" Sire,"
said lie, " no more ambition—no more conquests--
lead us on to liberty, and we will make a rampart
of our bodies to defend it." Alas ! this hope of liberty was
not realised to him. Treason led the foreigner a second time
within our walls. La Bedoyere was arrested, you know
his fate, you know that he died like a brave man.
The " English" continue to fly from The Earl of
Fingal and family leave to-morrow for England. Ere the first of next
month, sorely one British family of rank will have remained here. 1
shall not regret their return home, although I am far from participating
in the reason for it—their apprehension of disturbances in Paris.—Lstkv
from Paris.

The Royal Society is at present the scene of much divi-
sion on the subject of a future President. Many of the members have
long desired to have the Duke of Sussex in their chair, not only on as
count of his Mistrials rank, but because his Royal Highness is a
known zealous patron of learning and science, and has space 'Mel at
Kensington Palace to have select meetings, and otherwise to entertain
them In a distinguished manner. Others wish to continue D. Gilbert,
Esq. (Sir H. Davy's successor) while a third party is mentioned as
being desirous to elect Mr. Herschel. In this state of things Mr. Gil- I
beet has written to the Society, that he understands the Duke had been
applied to on the subject, and that his Royal Highness had consented to
be proposed for the Presidentship, he (Mr. G.) declared that he must
abstain from allowing himself to be put in nomination in opposition to
the Royal Duke. The subject is one that is exciting amazing deal of
interest, especially amongst the F. R. 13.'s.—iforninp Herold.
Some idea of the variety of Queen Elisabeth's amuse..
ments may be formed from the following in one of Rowland

The following anecdotes of Abernethy are from the Na.
Signal Portrait Gallery, edited by Mr. Jordan ,—" Mr. a
young gentleman with a broken limb, which refined to heal long
after the fracture, went to consult Mr. Abernethy; and as
usual, was entering into all the details of his complaint.
when he was thus stopped almost in Pray, Sir,

scene of greater length, and still greater interest and ester-
tainment, took place between our emigent surgeon and the
famous John Philpot Curran. Mr. Curran, it seems, being
personally unknown to him bad visited Mr. Abernethy se-

Abernethy's strong point in prescribing is generally addressed
to the relief of the bowels, and to the lowering and regula-
tion of the diet and regimen. He is, consequently, much
sought in dyspeptic disorders ; and. it is stated, of mfrs.
to such a pegs in one of his books, where he has already
given the remedy. The patients have only to buy the work,
where they will find an exact description of their symptoms, and a recipe
foe their cure. On one occasion, a lady, unsatisfied with this amount of
information, persisted in extracting from Mr. Aberneth what she might
eat, and, after suffering from her volubility with le patience

you may eat any thing but the poker and the bellows ; foe
the one is too hard of digestion, and the other is full of
wind.' The reported fashion of his courtship and marriage
is also extremely characteristic. It is told, that while at-
tending a lady for several weeks, he observed those admira-
ble qualifications in her deserter, which he truly esteemed
to be calculated to render the married state happy. Accordingly, m a
Saturday, when taking leave of his patient, he addressed her to the fol.

PREPARATIONS for Ms RECEPTION qf Ms KING 1,, Me

CITY.

The:Committee met yesterday foe the purpose of facilitating the
preparations for the reception of his Majesty. Some inconvenience arises
from the circumstance of the Loed Chamberlain not having yet sent the
list of the company who will have the honour of attending his Ma.
jesty. If the King should bring a large Court with him, the old
King's Bench will be fitted up. When George the Third dined at
the Guildhall, the Lady Mayoress and the Aldermen's wives dined in
that Court, the Hall having upon • all such occasions, been app%
primed to the Court and Corporation. The Throne which is to be
erecte.l will cost nearly seven hundred :pounds. The Gas Com.
pany have received orders to place a great number of burners be.
hind the beautifully-stained window at the west end of the Hall, and
upon the entrance of the King thelights will blase forth in their fullest
splendour. This regulation supersedes the paltry oil lamps with which
it has been ueual to decorate the eastern window, and which, itjw 11 not
easily be forgotten, tumbled down upon one grand occasion. A new
gallery has been ordered to be erected in the Hall, over the step.
leading to the Court of Common Council, for the Royal band. In
the permanent gallery opposite, vocal performers are to sit. A proposi.
thou was made to the Committee to build a gallery all mewl the Hall,
for the accommodation of ladies, according to the precedent at the pe-
riod of the visit of George the Third, but the enormous expense of such
a plan at once set aside the suggestion. The Committee, it is necessary
to say, will make the entertainment worthy of the occasion, and act witn
a proper consideration for economy. The pictures in the Council Cham-
ber have been:all cleaned, and the frames are newly gilt. The scene will,
altogether, resemble a minor coronation. It is intended to assimilate, as
closely as possible, the preparations for the approaching festival, to that
given to George the Third, which was the counterpart of that given to
George the Second. 601130 alterations, however, adapted to the " mare!,
of intellect," will be made. The Committee have made several
speculative experiments, which they may abandon for what may
be thought new and more eligible plans. The door-way constructed
at the entrance to the hall, appears to us to be much too nai-
row. Two persons can scarcely go in abreast. This has been,
we understand, arranged with the view of preventing a rush,
which, on former ocessicoe, when folding-doors were used, prodaced
great Inconvenience; but the committee, in their ear* to guard &ohm
asejsnobarrasement, have thus fallen into a greater. His late Majesty
could never have condescended to enter a door-way by such squeezing
limits. The eammitsse are indefatigable, but the workmen suffer some
inconvenience already from the multitudes whom curiosity areanble in
the neighbourhood.

The Deputy Ressembrancer of the Corporation of the City
of London attended at the King's Palace, at Brighton, on Monday,
take his Majesty's commands relative to some arrangements that are
making for the King's reception on Lord Mayor's Day. The Deputy
Remembranter was received by, Sir Herbert Taylor, his Majesty'.
private secretary.

Lord Mayor and Corporation on the Bth of November, his Majesty hay.

Louis-Philippe is exceedingly like a jovial English farmer,

sufficient firmness and good sense; but he lacks that quality which may
be called mental egos,. In times of peace, perhaps, there is no living

On Monday last, a grand dinner, at which Mr. Attwood
presided, weeetiven at Birmingham, in oonsmemmation of the French

observations; but, owing to the meson et other matter. we
cannot make room for any of the speeches. The dinner took
place in Mr. Beardsweeth's Repository far horses and cartiages.—
a building which, it seems, is of so extensive a nature. that on this
occasion ft drawled accommodation to 3,700 persons. In the introduction
to the report in the Birmingham paper ft is stated—" The prepm.

From the Monitertr.

PARIS, OM 9.

The King has received the grand deputation charged to present him
the Address adopted yesterday by the Chamber of Deputies, on the
abolition of the punishment of death. A great number of Members ac-
companied the deputation. All the Ministers were present to the right
and left of the King, who was seated upon the Throne. The President '
having read the Address, his Majesty replied,
GENTLIXEN—I receive with great satisfaction the Address you
have presented to me. The sentiments to which you give expression
have been a long time in my heart. Witness, from my earliest years,
of the frightful abuse of the punishment of death in political matters,
and of all the evils which have resulted from it to France and to huma-
nity, I have constantly and warmly advocated its abolition. The re-
membrance of these times of disaster, and the melancholy feelings
which oppress me when I turn my thoughts to them, will afford you a
sure pledge of the eagerness with which I hasten to lay before you a
project of law conformably to your views. With respect to mine, they
will never be completely fulfilled until we have entirely effaced from
out Code all those rigours and penalties at which humanity, and the
present state of society, revolt."

As the constitution and character of the National Guard have been
made the subject of much discussion both in this country and in Ftance.
we republish from the Tissee, the project of law for its establishment
and organisation:—

for the defence of the territory,—the guard of the frontiers, to repel in.
vasion and maintain public order in the interior.

Prom CaTemp.
" THE CITIZEN KING.
" We gave yesterday some information respecting the new predet de
tur regulating the National Huard, and particularly respecting the
~tangenients which relate to punishment and discipline. We are ere-
A!t)ly informed to-day that the presentation of that proja de lob was
,ztittd..4l for some days by a scruple on the part of his Majesty, which
" be considered as the outward expression of a deep solicitude for
''.• nation who was the object of it. At the moment when the 111-
'",try wee designing to submit the law to the Chambera and when
a', of its members even held in his hand an copse of the masons
in which It originated, the King desired to be made fully acquainted
*lll, all the articles of that code, which had been already discussed in

council. He meditated upon it for some hours, and thus the severity of
the punishments to enforce discipline stated in our yesterday's journal
attracted his attention. He was particularly dissatisfied with the proviso
1 which deprived of his civic rights the citizen, who, after repeated acts of
disobedience, persisted in refusing to go upon service. He expressed
his fears with great vivacity to the Minister of the Interior—he entered
into various statements, all full of the kindest consideration for the Na.
tional Guard, which was engaged, he said, in a service proving at once
its generosity and its devotion; he enlarged upon the danger of,
spreading discontent by a disproportionate severity of punishment
si
among citizens naturally unaccustomed to the heavy yoke of severe
discipline. Assuredly there is no solicitude more noble, more pope-
lar, more fitted to excite the gratitude of the nation ; but in this con-
juncture we can only applaud the opinions of the venerable Lafayette,l
who, invited to this conference, insisted, as we stated yesterday, on the I
necessity of punishing severely. for the general interest, every person
who failed in the civic duties which were individually and legally in.
posed upon him. It is added, that in spite of the conviction of M. La-
fayette, the King wished to have this important question submitted to
more mature consideration, and such was the .sole cause of the delay
which we noticed in the presentation of a law which has been expected
with such lively impatience."

[EXTRACT!! FROM • ['RIVAS! LITTZILi
" The Society of the Anilleros, which is the organ of the moderate
part of the nation, has just completed its labours on the Council of
State. It appears that the system of the illustrious Chancellor de
PHopital has prevailed. and that the council will be composed of lb
members. The following are the candidates who have been selected to
be presented to the Monarch for this choice :-
44 Lieut.-Oeneral O'Farril, formerly Minister of War, who has
long been a resident at Paris.

political and literary talents, who has also resided at Paris since the las
peace.
" Evaristo Perez de Castro, formerly Deputy and Minister of Fo.
reign Affkira.
Calatrava, formerly Deputy, and Minister at the time of the se-
paration of the Cortes, in 1823.
" The Count de Torreno, Deputy to the Corte in IBl2:and 1820,

" Roman Felin, formerly Minister of the Interior, in which he gave

State, and at present employed to draw up the civil code. It is affirmed
that the latter has also been charged to draw up the charter which it is
intended to grant.
" The Marquis de Casa frugo, Director of the Bank of St. Ferdi-
nand, would perform the functions of Secretary-General to the Council
of State. All the Secretaries of State to be in right sod in fact mem.
bees of the Council of State, so long as they retained their portfeuille.
In a word, it is intended to support the Government by the most remark.
able talents of all parties. The first act of the new Ministry, it is
affirmed, is to be a general amnesty for all those who are silks hom
their country on accounts of their opinions, whatever they may be.'
" Several other changes are going to be proposed toing Ferdinand
foe his approbation. Thus the general direction of the naval depart.
mint would be confided to IJeutenant.General Cayetano Valdes, for-
merly Deputy and Regent; that of the Ordnance to Count {,b;equi,
formerly Viceroy of America. Lieutenant-General Abisbal would be

Madrid, formerly Director of the Bank of St. Ferdinand, will be In-
vested with the direction of the Treasury. It is added, that the King
intends to choose four Aides-du camp from among the most esteemed
and most able General Officers, who will be attached to his person, and
charged with the important and delicate missions which his Majesty
may please to confide to them."

" The state at uncertainty Is protracted. The country is without a
chief of the civil administration, and Its internal and Middy, organi.
tuition is suspended. We are still expecting M. Volhuid. What can
keep him away ? If we were less acquainted with the capacity of Oen.
Chisel, we might also be uneasy at the stupidest of military affairs.
How, indeed, can we help being astonished at seeing 20,000 disposable
troops resolve to remain confined in a circuit extending only a league
from the place, beyond which line we cannot pass without running the
risk of being struck by an enemy's ball ?
" In order to form a comet opinion, we must recollect the situation
in which General Clause' found affairs on his arrival. The army was
weakened by diseases—the mind of the soldiersdepressed by melancholy
reflections. He saw the fruits of victory escape him by the egotism of
his chiefs, and the unfavourable light In which they wire received by
the new Government.

" By suffering the magic influence of victory to be dispelled without
profiting by it, the inhabitants of the country had acquited a fatal con.
fidence in their strength which seemed to be respected. Those in the
capital no longer thought themselves safe, though protected by a vim-
rious army, which might abandon them at a short notice. Ludy, the
Jews triumphed, thanks to the seduction sowed bytheir chiefs; and the
shameful superiority which they were suffered to affect, equally Incensed
all the subjects of the old regency of every class.
" It was in the midst of these numerous causes of weakness and dis.
conragsmsnt, that General Clause) appeared and revived the hopes of
all. He first attended to what was most urgent, and It was evident at
once that be was equal to the task, as soon as he was seen to mist
the importunities with which he was surrounded, and weaken the Jew-
iah influence, which offended every body.
" The first measures are generally approved. The army is being
re-organised, the vacancies are filled with numerous promotions ; con-
fidence revives, and the observer may easily judge that in a short time
decisive operations will justify the delay that has hitherto taken place.
" Another cause induces us to presage the speedy submission of the
tribes nearest to Algiers. Fortune has undertaken to do what ptudent
policy could not effect. The Jew who causes himself to be panegyrised
in some obscure French journals, which do sot fear to represent him as
the Providence of the army, is going to be deprived, by an act of legal
justice, of the means of corruption which he has at successfully em-
ployed up to this day. With his money he will lose his friends and
rotators, and will no longer hinder the inhabitants from sincerely
joining the French cause.
" All the Consular offices are eagerly opened to furnish proofs of
his misdeals ; ones furnished yesterday two overwhelming documents,
on which the new tribunal will immediately decide.
" The Magistrates will be installed, and have their first sitting on
Monday next."
