SECOND EDITION

STAR OFFICE, 11 A Li-PAST FOUR.
We stop the Press to state, that by a Nice". re-
cvived this afternoon, we learn that the A DDILESI
has been carried in the French Chamber.
Further, that the advanced guard of the French
troops bad arrived in Brussels, but that previous to
their arrival, the Dutch had carried on their
operations with the most implacable hos-
Wits-- the Prince of On A c exclaiming at the
head of the army, that they never before had
had such an opportunity of threshing the Bel-
gians, and might never have another, and they
ot:ght now to make the best use of it. It would
remove the stigma which the Belgians had at-
tempted t., cost on the military character of the
Dutch. In thil spirit there had been much fight-
ing and bloodshed on all sides
IThe arrival of the French had staved hostilities.

HOUSE 0.1: COMMONS. —Tuts DAY.
The Speaker took the Chair at twelve o'clock
this day.
Mr. Ross said he had a petition to present front
S..otland, complaining of the del tv in passing thi
Reform Bill.
The SP FAKER SAW the lion. Mem%er most be
aware that the petition could not be received on
acco:.nt of its langtiaze, and be hoped the lit n.
Member would pardon hint when he said he
trusted that lion. Members would not by a side
wind ends vour to give publicity to °lonians a belt
could not be heard in that House.
Mr. Ross then withdrew the petition.
Mr. Cau IL Ea said. he wished to correct a 111:4-
take that had arisen relative to the source from
which he had derived his information,snd to which
he had alluded in his observations last night. The
fact was the two letters were both published in the
Hague Gazette, one of which had appeared in the
Morning Post on the 2d of August, and the
other in the Standard. He thotrAt it necessary
to make thus early the explanation, as publicity was
given to every word uttered in that House.
Mr. O'Cusll EL L said every thing said in that
House respecting. Belgium received the utmost
publicity, but the case was very different as re-
spected a part of the empire which appeared to be
not worthy of notice.
Mr. HUNT said the Times newspaper, which the
Right Hon. Gentleman had quoted yesterday, re-
turned him the favour this morning by not only
giving every word he had said, but had compli-
mented him for his ingenuity.
Mr. lit; NT presented a petition from Sutton, in
Cheshire, praying a repeal of the Corn Laws. He
would never again take the trouble to read over a
petition, but leave it to lion. members to ferret
out the offensive passages.
Sir IloaenT IN G Ll* thought after this observa-
tion, and what had occurred yesterday, the peti-
tion ought not to be received, as the Hon. Mem-
ber fur Preston had declared that the offensive pas-
sage in that petition was nut in the least disre-
spectful to the House.
The petition was brought up and ordered to lie
on the table.
Mr. Hu NT said he should not move that the
petition be printed. The Hon. Gentleman then
presented a petition from the neighbourhood of
Manohester, praying for a repeal of the Corn Laws.
Mr. Joust %%root) said, whether the Reform
Bill did or did not pass, he was confident
that the question on the Corn Laws would not
prove subordinate to that which now agitated the
kingdom front one end to the other.
Mt. BEN lITT said, if the Corn Laws were re-
pealed, wages would be lowered, and the labourers
would be worse off than at present.
Mr. HUNT was confident that the repeal of the
corn laws would give a market to our manufac-
tures, and increase the demand for labour. He
should move that the petition be printed.—Ordered.
The subsequent discussions down to two o'clock
related to the Coronation.
The house then resolved itself into a Committee,
and proceeded in the reform bill.
The 13th Clause was passed.
