We have received the Netherlands States Gazette of the
Gth Oct. which contains an official statement of the killed,
wounded, and prisoners, in the affairs at Brussels, on the
23d to the 26th Sept. They are as follow :
Dutch Officers wounded 10
Died of their wounds - 3
Non.commissioned officers and privates killed 103
Wounded - bfili
Prisoners or missing - - 158
Ilories killed - 26
Wounded horses . 34
Missing - 6
At Liege the insurgents have made prisoner the Professor
KINDER.

The intelligence from France, and from the Continent
generally, which our paper contains this day, is of as satis-
factory a nature as, under circumstances, could possibly
h' expected. We have a public declaration of non-inter-
ference on the part of France with the affairs of foreign
S!ateA ; and it appears already certain that this country and
Prussia adopt the same line of policy.
The Belgians have declared their intention to main-
tain themselves as a separate independent state ;
and we think, as indeed we have before expressed, that such
R settle nent of this debateable country, would be the beet
that could now be made for the peace of Europe, and happi-
ness of the inhabitants. If the Belgians keep united, and

do not become themselves a nuisance, which may require!
the interference of other states to abate, we have very little
doubt but the KING of Holland will be compelled to acquiesce
in their proposed independence. It would appear he is
ead,,avocring to retain authority in Antwerp, which probably
had he not adopted the present precautionary, although
tardy measures, would have slipped from his hold along with
the Southern States. In this ho is prudent, and we hope
he will be wise enough to know, that his retention of
Flanders can never be secure, merely by the retention and
strength of fortresses, unless he make it palpably intelli-
gible, that the interests of the people aro the especial care
of his Government. 110 must not suffer the importuning
avarice of his Dutch subjects, which we know have already
on many occasions frustrated his own wishes, to monopolize
any commercial advantages, any official advantages, or any
patronage, not enjoyed by his Flemish subjects ; otherwise,
his retention of the fidelity of the latter, would indeed be
evanescent. He must know well the real jarring of local
interests which ho has had to manage ; and unless he is
conscious of his power to please both, he should wisely only
retain one.

The new levy of troops in France is carefully disavowed
as connected with warlike views ; and we believe that France
is at tin! present moment most anxious to observe strict neu-
trality. We feel this to be not only a proof of the sound policy
of her present Government, as far as the interest of its people
is concerned ; but as a proof that her Statesmen have deter-
mined to preserve an international policy, similar to that
which was observed by their predecessors; and that the
peace of Europe is not excluded from among their motives.
We conclude the proposed evacuation of Algiers is an evi-
dence of her intentions; and we are now sanguine that a
unity of feeling and good understanding, between thia coun-
try and France, will preserve tho tranquillity of Eurape.—
Of this, however, we see no certainty, until we receive intel-
ligence of Russia, having likewise expressed in equal une-
quivocal terms, her recognition of the new French Govern-
ment. We confess ourselves jealous of that power, as we
conceive the policy of this country and Russia are on se-'
veral points vitally opposel And the hanging back of:
Austrian and Russian recognition nray,notu ithstandieg what
is said, prove to have some connexion with the French levy.

We have just received Galignones lifesunger, from which
we take the following
CHAMBER OF PEERS, OCT. U.

The Duke de Broglie rose to present the following law
project
Art. 1. Any attack by one of the means set forth in the
•.

Ist article of the law of -May 17. 1519, against the Royal
dignity, the order of succession to the throne, or the right
which the King derives front the Iri.h :if the French nation,
expressed in the (I..sclaration of August 7, 1830, and the
constitutional charter, the inviolability of his person, the rights
and authority of the Chambers, shall bo rinished by im-
prisonment for a term not tinder three months, and not above
five years, and a fine of from 300 to 10,000 francs.
Art. 2. The 2d article of the law of March 25, 1822, is,
and remains, repealed.
The law was ordered to bo printed.
The partners of the house of Vassal and Co. have sent a
_ _

petition to the King, through the medium of M. Lafitte,'
praying for a loan of 300,000 upon good securities, bat the
realization of which may require time. By means of this
service the houses which were upheld by M. Vassal, and
numerous commercial enterprizera, would be able to maintain
their ground. It is said that the Bank, which has accep-
tances of that house for more than 200,000 will not enforce
its right rigorously to obtain payment, but will ab-
stain as far as the interests with which it is in-
rerested will allow. The amount of the failure is variously
estimated, but it is thought to be for about 6,000,000. A
Council has been formed to assist the principal partner in
his laborious task.

A Spanish Junta is said to have been formed at Bayonne,
composed of Bluritz, Sancho, and Lopez Pinto. The refu-
gees continue to assemble along the Pyrenees : they want
neither arms nor money. The Government expect their entry
into the country, and is taking measures to oppose them. A te-
legraphic dispatch from the Prefect of Bayonne on Sunday last
says :—" The garrison of Pampeluna has sent the following
detachments to the various parts of the frontiers—to the Val-
ley of Bastan, 250 men ; the Valley of Roneal, 20 ; Ocha-
gurea, 150 ; Adnevaux, 300; Burguetta, 300, all In-
fantry, and 400 Royalist volunteers. The whole are under
the orders of Brigadier Juanita. It appears that they are
arming the inhabitants and the troops at Bastan Fumich, a
port at the pass of Ispegney. The line of demarcation be-
tween the two kingdoms is studded by posts."

We have received by extraordinary express the French
Papers of Wednesday night.
(From the Courrier Francais.)
The measures taken by the Minister of War to put the
army on a respectable footing are highly satisfactory to the
public, by whom they were universally claimed. They are
not a menace of war ; on the contrary, they are a guarantee
for the maintenance of peace. France, once more what she
was, cannot remain in the state of inferiority and humiliation
against which she struggled under the Bourbons. France
does not wish for war, but she wishes to be in readiness, so as
not to fear it. The party which now pushes on to civil war,
and pants also for a foreign war, will soon experience
thatboththeone and the other would prove fatal to them alone.
As long as that party keep within the limits of threats, France
will not swerve from the path which her dignity and magna-
Dimity prescribes, and her very enemies will enjoy those
guarantees assured to the citizens : the cause which they
wish to overthrow will protect their persons and property.—
But if once the flames of war were to blue, we should re-
member, that every other is absorbed in one supreme exi-
gency—the safety of the country.
Extract of a private letter dated Paris, Wednesday even-
ing :—"iPeoples' minds &retouch tranquillised by the decla-
ration of neutrality made by the Government, and it is
hoped it will have a favorable effect on mercantile affairs."
From Le National.

The Royal Ordonnance which orders the enlistment of a
hundred and eight thousand men, does not at all announce
that the Government thinks itself threatened with war. As
it appears to be the case, the ordonnance has given rise to a
panic amongst the same men who, a few days ago, pre-
tended that the whole edifice of society was tottering on its
basis, because a few harmless young men assembled to speak
of politica in a riding-school.] It may be asked if those men
who displayed such prodigious energy of character against
the ordonnances of Charles X. have forgotten that energy ?
The army is recruited every year by calling into its rinks
40,000 conscripts—this year 68,000 more is required;
but then it must be remembered that a guard of 30,000 men
has been dismissed, as well as 8,000 Swiss; and the remain-
' ing 30,000 men do not quite amount to the number of troops
now in Africa, and those stationed in the Mores. The
108,000 men in question, amongst whom some are destined

for , r .1..761.44e, not be y ite sufficient
to place our army on the footing it ought to be in time of
peace. It is probable that they will not be merely
used to fill up vacancies ; but also to form now corps
of cavalry and infantry. We shall thus see our
wishes fulfilled ; and the officers of the old army, together
with those of the ex-Guarde Royale, will be enabled to con-
tinue their career, whereas had it been otherwise the present
order of things might have been compromised; for so many
persons thrown out of place and deprived of their means of
existence, contribute more than is generally thought to
prolong that excitement which is fatal to the public credit,
and which gives us all the appearance of a ruined nation
amongst so many sources of prosperity.
Prussia has just acknowledged our new Government ;
several causes contributed to delay this measure; first of
all, the intimate relations now existing between the Cabi-
nets of Berlin and Petersburgh, and consequently the wish
to act upon the same principles as the latter ; and secuzildy,
the events of Belgium, and the movements in the Rhenish
provinces, and in Germany, which were certainly of a nature
to cause some hesitation on the part of the Prussian Go-
vernment.

On leaving Berlin, Count Nesselrodo expected to arrive
at St. Petersburgh on the 20th or 21st Sept. The acknow.
ledgment of Russia must have been sent off immediately
after the arrival of that distinguished individual. So that
it may be expected in Paris from one day to another.
It is evident that the great European Powers are aware of
their present situation, and how deeply they are interested
in the preservation of peace and harmony. We think we
may say likewise, that England has adopted a different mode
of conduct from that she followed in our former revolution.
Great Britain has not only acknowledged King Louis Philip
immediately after his accession to the throne, but has even
used her influence to induce the other powers to do the same.
Generally speaking, all Europe seems now to understand
that her true interests are the re-establishment of order amongst
us, and the consolidation of a system which promises so
many chances of stability ; whilst if we were irritated and
pushed on to war, added to the critical situation of some
governments, it would only provoke revolutions, instead of
preventing them.

FRENCH INTLLLIGENCE.

RECEIVED BY US THIS DAY.

Yesterday, at one o'clock, the King gave a private au-
thence, to M. le Baron de Werther, who presented to his
Majesty, the letters of his Majesty the King of Prussia,
which accredits him at the Court of France, as his Majesty's
Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary. M. le
Baron Pleffell, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipo-
tentiary of his Majesty the King of Bavaria, also delivered
his letters of credentials. M. de Treitlinger, presented to
the King' the letters of credence by virtue of which he re-
sides at Paris, with the title of Resident Minister of his Se-
rene Highness the Grand Duke of Saxe-Weimar. M. le
Baron de Worther, M. le Baron Pleffel and M. de Treit-
linger, were accompanied in these audiences and presented
by Count Mole, Minister and Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs. After the reception of his Majesty, they were
equally presented to the Queen, the Princes and Princesses
of the Royal Family.—Moniteur, Oct. 6.
If we may credit letters f Rome, the Popo is not dis-
posed to encourage tile intrigues of the ultras against the
French revolution. His Holiness has caused it to be inti-
mated to the Duke de Rohan, Archbishop of Besancon,
who, after having quitted his see, was about to set out for
Rome, that a Prelate should reside in the midst of his flock
1 and that his presence was not necessary at Rome.—Le
Temps.

It is asserted that the Duke de Ragusa has sent in his
oath as Peer of France, and even as Marshal.—Le Globe.

The partners of the banking house of Vassal and Co. have
resolved upon a petition to the King, which they have begged
of M. Lafitte to present to his Majesty. This petition has,
for its object the asking the assistance of three millions of
francs against warranted and good securities, but of which
the realizatioii might be slow. By means of this assistance,
the houses that M. Vassal and Co. were in the habit of sup -
porting, and numerous manufactories, could keep on with
their usual activity. It was ascertained at the Exchange,
that the Bank, who have in their portfolio acceptances of tho
house for more than two millions of francs, do not intend
making use of their rights to the full extent, for the purpose
of reimbursement ; at least as far as tho interests trusted to
them will allow. The importance of the failure is differently
estimated. It appears, however, that it is about six millions
of francs.

A council has been formed to help the principal partner in
his painful situation. We have heard mentioned as form-
ing a part of it, two well experienced men, M. Plc, coun-
sel, and M. H. Nonquier, advocate. Tho fate of M. Vassal
is yet uucertain. Never, perhaps, a commercial man in-
spired so much interest in a similar situation.—Journal du
Commerce.

__ ...... _. __.
It was with pleasure reported at the Exchange that the
House of Coloumb and Co. has not stopped its payments,
which have continued as usual. The unhappy event which
has deprived the House of its Chief, is owing to private
affairs of this unfortunate father of a family.—Journal du
Commerce. - . .

......
M. Caloumb blew out his brains yesterday, and it was ge-
nerally said that it was owing to the embarrassed state of II
his affairs; from what is stated above this does not appear
to be the case.

PA RIE.—STOCK EXCHANGE, OCT, 6, 5 o'C Loc x.— he
market opened very fiat, but shortly after a real panic pre-
vailed, and the price of stocks fell considerably. Speculators
were so eager to sell their rentes, that several times the
price for the end of the month was 10c, or 15c, below that
for money bargains. The fall was in great part occcasioned by
the ordonnance inserted in the Moniteur yesterday morning,
by which 108,000 men arc called into active service, many
persons taking it for a sign of the probability of a war.
Reflecting men, however, only consider it as a measure
rendered necessary by the dissolution on a great part of the
army, by recent events. Foreign securities have also de-
clined, particularly Neapolitan, in consequence of rumours,
which, however, did not gain much credit, of insurrectionary
movements having taken place in Italy, and also orders from
Holland to effect large sales. For money the 5 per cents.
have fallen lfr. 35c ; the 4 per cents. 50c; the 3 per cents.
2fr; Neapolitan, 2fr. 25c; Cortes, 1; Rentes Perpetuelles,

clued 1 fr. 15c ; the 3 per cents. 1 fr. 40c ; Neapolitan, 4fr;

THE CLUBS IN FRANCS
OCTOBER 6.—ln 1793, the most powerful and easy
means for any one to ingratiate himself into the favor of the
people, was to repair assiduously to those meetings so famous
in the records of the French Revolution, under the appella-
tion of Clubs, where natural eloquence was successively em-
ployed and inspired, sometimes by general interest, but
more commonly by ambition, hatred, revenge, and the mere
violent passions. Some wise, judicious, elevated minds,
raised their voices at intervals is favour of the institutions of
the country, but always unsucoessfully ; they were imp si-
lenced by the thunder-striking eloquence of* the leaders Gel
the mob, whose most hisigoillcant expressions were constantly

Ls»cam Kits the loudc.: applause. From the very com-
mencement of the French Revolution in 1789, Denton
became the most powerful chief of the lower classes ; he
might truly have been called the King of the Market,.
At the time of the division of the capital into districts, he was
chosen to preside over that of the Cordeliers ; and this part of
Paris immediately became the rendezvous of the most hot-
brained revolutionists. These meetings were scarcely formed,
when ell the powers were attacked, all the principles pervert-
ed. The District had been content with inveighing against
monarchical institutions—the New Club undertook to over-

throw the very basis of society. This formidable champion of
the popular cause, was among the class of those vile in.
triguers who, under the mask of acting for the public good,
have no other object in view than the advancement of tbei:
own fortune. Danton, however, will not be charged with
hypocrisy.—" Young man," said he, one day, to a well-
known citizen, "come and bawl with us: when you Irive
made your fortune, you will take which party suits you
best."

Now, in the present day, after a glorious revolution, po-
pular societies have suddenly sprung up, and, without enter-
ing into several important particulars relative to their futur,
influence over the nation in its present enlightened state,
when compared to the period of the former revolution, and
the probable consequences which might result from it, with-
out pointing out the essential differences of the moral state
of the people at present, with that of past times, I shall
merely make known what line of conduct they have hitherto
adopted, and what questions their existence raises.
The necessity of a strong and well united Administration
is greatly desired by all the enlightened patriots, whatever it
may be. The Friends of the People, in their political prin-
ciples, are said to scare the Exchange and paralyze com-
merce. Had these popular Societies continued to bold their
sittings, there would have been great fear that public
tranquillity would be much exposed : they would infallibly
create uneasiness and exasperation both in Paris and the
Departments,and have a fatal influence over the next election.
In all assemblies like the present and former Clubs, a
latent fire smothers in the bosom of all, unknown to most of
them, but which will burst forth on the first occasion. Let
any one ofthem rise in popular favour, none will rest behind,
but all will, to approach him, rush forward, harried away
by the most violent passions, and in tho vortex cease to be
them:Folv.-s. First, they are only impotent philanthrophists,
hut soon become a prey to Coo most bitter envy and the
most nab! idled ambition ; at last madmen ; or if they stop on
the brink of utter moral destruction, what will have resulted
from their utmost exertions for popular fame ? —the exalta-
tion of the wicked, remorse and pangs for themselves.
They say that times are changed, but the passions of men
aro nearly the same at all times.

Old Cameth, Dupert, Ba-nave—these very distinguished
orators of the old republican assemblies, will not, 1 trust,
be culled old dollars by those of the modern school, who are
apparently so fond of eloquence ; they will, perhal,s, agree
too, that those orators were not very likely to be more
short-sigitted than the new tribunes of the present day, and
vet they were the founders of the Club of the Jacobins.
Those sincere friends to the constitutional cause, created it
with the most generous views ; but when it began to be
consolidated with the fiery cement of popular paspions, those
mistaken patriots saw too late, that they had opened a way
to the most tremendous storms, and hurled France into an
ocean of blood ; they saw that they had unknowingly
prepared the execrable tyranny of a Roberspierre,
who knew•equally well how to hate, dissemble, and strike.
They, fully sensible of their enormous fault, then esta-
blished another club to counterbalance the prodigious in-
fluence of the former. In this club, the most eloquent
speeches were delivered, the most liberal sentiments ex-
pressed, the wisest measures proposed. All this got on very
well for a time ; but the revolutionary genius had not lost
sight of them for an instant, and when he thought the mo-
ment had atrived, marched upon them armed with the
sword and torch, and struck them down at a single blow.
Soon after, in all the villages and towns, societies were
formed, which corresponding with the great clubs, received
every political information regularly sent by the leaders front
Paris. This club was an immense iron mouth always gaping,
always greedy of the bloody tributes offered by hatred,
envy, and the spirit of faction, and which unlike that ci
Venice was not dumb. The same Society was not less fin-
midable to Europe than to France. It was generally know'.
under the name of Propagaadi ; and bad its emissaries in
the most free as well as in moat despotic States; and
ruling principle was to overthrow every thing in both
of them. It would undoubtedly, be very unjust to sup-
pose in inexperienced young men, the revival of tho.,,
perverse means to destroy general order and good harmony .
—lt is generally understood that they could neither obtain
any political employment, nor contribute to the daily publi-
cations of the press. Most of them are not destitute of abi-
lities, but this was a most forcible reason for them to expect
front time an improvement to their circumstances, as the ex-
ertion of talent is seldom unrewarded or unsuccessful.—
Their present disappointment strongly operated upon most
of them, and they rashly thought, that, as they had not
been chosen to be the supports of the State, they would make
their hostility to Government much dreaded. What-
ever it may be, on the second meeting of these sel-
fish malcontents, the National Guard prevented their
sitting from taking place. Infatuated with a vague recollec-
tion of the former revolution, they flattered themsdves that
they could, by assembling to talk and petition, direct at their
will the public affairs; but they had forgotten that when
the jacobins governed France, in spite of the established
Government, it was because that Government was hostile
to the country; the people enamoured with novelty, full of
confidence in political experiments, thought that social order
was to be re-modelled and wholly re-established. The
members of the present political societies must have very
weak intellects, and a vast stock of presumptiou
not to understand that the day for Clubs is past : Paris pro-
scribes them, the Departments do the same, both Chambers
and the Tribunals agree to prosecute them, as being hurtful
to good order and peace. If the Friends of the People be
wise, they will separate never more to meet ; if not, we have
good reasons to presume that the present authorities will have
little to do in order to paralyse such ridiculous efforts of in-
experience, intrigue, vanity, and dethshness.

CITY, HALF-PAST TWSLrI O•CLOCL.
The Express from Paris has not had, as yet, the effect ou
the Consol Market as was at first expected, although the
French rentes have come higher 11 per cent. Consols, which
left off yesterday 861 for the Account, opened at 87 to i,
and were done at 871; at present they are 87 to i with lit-
tle doing.
In the Foreign Market little or nothing doing as yet.
CITY, HALF-PAST OAS

We do not expect any further advice, from Brussels or
Holland this day, no steamer being due. Consols for Ac-
count, 87f.

We are given to understand that the French and English
Governments have sent orders to their Ambassadors to try
to settle the affairs between the Dutch and Belgians. Ninety
Belgians arrived at Brussels from Paris ; they are to be fol-
lowed by a corps of about two thousand, which are already
on their march.
