ment might have been accomplished, that is now so difficult,
gad yet so much desired.
We are happy, however, to perceive, that the tenor of
Continental intelligence to-day, is favourable to the hope,
that the chance of such an accommodation is not past; and
we hope that an attempt to form a Republic of Belgium will
not be tried ; as there is very little chance that the sur-
rounding powers will favour its secure existence. A power
only existing on the sufferance of its neighbours, must see
its security, and interest, in making its arrangements, In
some degree, agreeable to those neighbours ; and the
Belgians may obtain a representative Government and
Constitution, suited to their own views, without involving
themselves in the risk of trying a form of Government, at va-
riance with all other members of the great European family.
In the meanwhile, we cannot but view the tardy recogni-
tion of Russia still with apprehension ; unless, indeed, it be
withheld as a kind of influence suspended over the conduct
of France, in its observance of strict neutrality in Bel-
gian affairs.
Our cotemporaries, we observe, decline to give their views
on a subject, which might be supposed not unworthy of their
speculation ; but the art of blinking a question, until events
solve it, and then boasting that they knew it all the while,
is one of the important arts of modern prudential Editors.

We had intended to complete our observations to-day on
the New Police, which we observe, with regret, is undo-
servedly becoming a matter productive of public agitation.
We shall to-morrow consider it our duty still further to
combat what we consider delusion on the subject.

FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.

RSCEIVED THIS DAT.

PARIS, OcT. 13, 1830.

Yesterday the King being seated on his throne, received
the Pope's Nuncio, who had the honour of presenting his
letters of credence. He was introduced by the Minister of
Foreign Affairs, and was accompanied by his two Secreta-
ries of Legation. The King afterwards received the Am-
bassador from the Court of Sweden, u•ho also had the ho-
nour of delivering his credentials to his Majesty. His Ex-
cellency was introduced with the accustomed ceremonies,
by the Minister for Foreign Affairs.

The following is the plan of the royalist electors. They
will repair to the colleges and take the oath, because the
oath is an act of no consequence. When they find it im-
possible to obtain the majority for their candidate, they will
join the party of the cote gauche, to the exclusion of that of
the centres. By this stratagem, they will oblige Ministers
to chase between the restoration and the revolution, through
fear of losing the majority. The hope with which they
flatter themselves is so injurious, that it is quite absurd.
Ministers will certainly not form an alliance with the coti
droit against the revolution; they will not knowingly sa-
crifice our destinies to the royalist faction, through personal
ambition, or through attachment to theories; but it is to be
apprehended that they will find themselves placed in a si-
tuation which may oblige them to renew the system of con-
cessions, so much resorted to by the Ministers of the
restoration, and so much blamed by the public.—Journal du
Commerce.

From the documents published by the two Governments
in the Netherlands, it is evident to us, who are at a distance,
and judge without passion, that negociations have been set
on foot between the government of Antwerp and that of
Brussels, and that necessity may, perhaps, remove antipa-
thies which the conduct of King William and that of Prince
Frederick, bad raised against the Prince of Orange.—
Courrier Francais.

The Baron de Wessenberg, Ambamador Extraordinary
from the Court of Austria, is expected at Frankfort on his
way to the Hague, where the affairs of Belgium will be dis-
cussed by the Ministers of the great Powers.—Meuager
des Chambres.

The transport tax has caused much dissatisfaction, and we
are by no means astonished at it. Its first great fault, and
which we admit is inoontestihle, is, that it is a new one.
Now, every new impost is obnoxious. It is in vain to say
that the new tax is but the substitute for an old one, and
that the transport of goods is burthened instead of wines.
This cannot have any great effect, however true it may be,
and will not render the new tax more popular. When one
party is relieved at the expence of another, it always
happens that the former do not feel any great gratitude,
because they conceive that they have received no more than
justice; and the latter are positively incensed, because they feel
that they have been wronged. The great defect, however,
of this impost consists in its basis. By taking weight as
the siandard of taxation, an evident and great absurdity has
been committed. What articles, in fact, are most heavy ?
Why, surely, those which are the most common in pae,, and,
consequently, the most necessary for the people ; yet these
will pay the heaviest charges. This is neither reasonable
nor popular. Stuffs for the indulgence of luxury are light,
and will pay but little, while the coarser woollen stuffs
will have to pay a great deal more. The Law Project,
however—these inconsistencies having been perceived—has

introduced exceptions ; but is it not evident, that, with
exceptions so numerous and vast as are required by
heavy goods, the general rule, that is, the tax it-
self, would become entirely absorbed and lost ? In a
word, in order that the tax should not become the most
burthensome and painful of all imposts, most numerous ex-
ceptions must be introduced ; and if all the exceptions that
are necessary should be inserted, the tax would produce
nothing.—Jounsal des Dsbats.

Since the battle of Waterloo, sixteen years ago, no event
has occurred in the History of Europe so interesting to the
citizens of this country as the intelligence of the glorious
events in France. It may be asked, will not the Holy
Alliance interfere to reinstate the absconding Monarch? We
answer, No. If they could look on, sad permit the ruthless
Miguel to usurp the *throne of Portugal, they will hardly
venture in the affairs of France. It cost Great Britai;
nearly eight hundred millions to reseat the Bourbons before-
and they have now as little of the ability as of the dispon
shim to enter again upon the fruitless crusade. Charles X.
will probably once more become a r urn the bounty
of that Rejig( of Royalty— ; or retire to monastic
soolusion.—New York Morning Herald.

Although the French relates hue come higher from Paris,
it has not bad any effect on our hods. Consols which left
off yesterday at 861 J for the account, opened at the same
price, and for money 861 i. Little doing u yet.

This being pay-day for the differences of the account, we
do not hear as yet of any defaulters of consequence. In
the Foreign Market little or nothing doing.

The private letters, by the express from Paris, continue
to be of a very favourable tendency. The leaving off of the
French 3 per cents. were 65, buyers. The above letters,
from a highly respectable quarter, positively affirm that the
affairs of Belgium are on the eve of being adjusted, and that
the Prince of Orange will be appointed to govern them.
A failure has taken place at Paris, but not of great
magnitude.

CITY ENTRETAINMEIVT ITO THE KING.

In our Court Circular, on the subject of the answer of his
Majesty, a few words were omitted in his Majesty's reply, of some in.
rarest. After having stated that he would save the Corporation the
trouble of sending to Brighton to her Majesty, and accept the invitation
for her, the Ring said, "I, upon all occasions, wish to promote union in
the Royal Family, and therefore the greater number of then I see second
me the more gratifying it will be to me, and the more happy it will
make her 31ajesty." It has been the practice on the occasion of the
visit of a King to the City, to appoint a Chriat'a.Hospital boy to address
his Majesty, "at such place as the Committee shall appoint." This
has been hitherto done by resolution from the Corporation; but it
is not, we understand, the intention of the Corporation to introduce
this ceremony. The inconvenience likely to result from de-
taining his Majesty, on a cold November day, in Saint Paul's
Churchyard, to listen to an oration, strikes the citizens as a
very good excuse for such an omission. It is, however, in the
power of the Governor of Christ's Hospital to add that to the
other honours with which his Majesty is to be received, and a meet..
ink; is to take place this day, at the Hospital, to consider the propriety
of adhering to the ancient practice in that respect. His Majesty left
it to the Corporation to fix the hour for the entertainment, and the hour
of four was appointed, in order that the public might see the procession
in all its splendour. It has been stated, in many of the Papers, that
the Lord illayor is to meet the King at Temple.bar and conduct
him into the City, and to Guildhall. This statement is erroneous.—
When the King enters the city of London upon a visit, he enters
without the ceremony of knocking at the gates at Temple-bar.
He then goes on straight to Guildhall, where he is re.
aired by the Lord Mayor, under the porch, and is pre-
sented by his Lordship with the City Sword, the Lord Mayor
being the King's representative in the City, and the feaat being
his Majesty's feast, although paid for by the Corporation. The
King then returns the sword to the Lord Mayor, who bears
it before his Majesty to the Council Chamber, or other room appointed
for the reception of his Majesty, when the Recorder of London reads an
Address In the name of the City. It is at this period of the ceremony
the King presents the Lord Mayor with a Baronetcy. The following
Address of George the Fourth, when Prince Regent, to Sir William
Domville, on the occasion of the grand entertainment to the Monarchs
in 1814, will be read with some interest. It is a verbalias copy from
the City records:—

" It has always been the custom when the Sovereign paid a visit to
his faithful City of London. to costa a mark of favour on its Chief
Magistrate. At no period could this be more properly done than on on
occasion so advantageous to the country as the present, when the long
desired return of peace, which was the sole object of all our efforts, has
been so gloriously achieved by the valour of his Majesty's arms, in con.
junction with those of his Illustrious Allies; nor could it be conferred
on a person more truly worthy of it by long public and private virtue
than your Lordship ; and I have great satisfaction in having the power
to confer a signal mark of the Royal favour upon you."
His Royal Highness was then graciously pleased to order letters pa.
tent to be prepared for granting the dignity of a baronet to the Lord
Mayer. who kissed hands on the occasion. Sir Samuel Fludyer was
Lord Mayor when Ring George the Third visited the City, on which
occasion he conferred a baronetcy upon his Lordship. and the honour of
knighthood upon his Lordship's brother and the two sheriffs. On the
day of the approaching entertainment, the Lord Mayor's procession to
Westminster will take pima between 9 and 10 o'clock in the morning,
and will commence June at Guildhall, as has been the custom—but at
the Mansion House, for the purpose of enabling his Lordship to return
before two o'clock to the Guildhall, to receive the King, who, it is ex.
ported, willleave &James's for the City between two and three o'clock.
Hie Lordship will proceed direct to Blackfriars Bridge, where he
will go on board the City Barge. It is his Lordship's anxious
wish to embark at the Tower, that he might have an opportunity
of passing from the Mansion House through his own ward—
that of Letterman@ ; but there will be high water at London-bridge
soon after nine o'clock, and the utmost difficulties and inconvenience
must attend the effort to go spinet the tide under the arches. All idea
of gratifying the people of Langboume ward must therefore be given up.
A great deal has been said about the probable expenses of the approaching
entertainment, but it is believed they will not exceed those incurred when
George [IL dined at GuildhalL Upon that occasion the total charge was
6,111111 64. Id. and It is confidently stated that a more magnificent en-
tertainment can now be given for that money. The prices of turtle and
Salt were then enormously high, and the members of the Corporation
had several of them particular reasons for employing particular persons
to supply the materiels. In fact, the whole " concern'' was, what it
never an be again, a " downright job ;" wines were sent in, and no
question was asked about the quantity drank. This is not now the
case in the City. There is, in fact, a spy upon all the luxuries of the
Corporation.

The Ladies' Auxiliary Hibernian Female School Society,
under the patronage of the Queen, the Princess Augusta,
the Duchess of Gloucester, and the Duchess of Kent, held
their Annual Meeting on Wednesday, at the Ship Inn,
Brighton, Sir Robert Wigrain in the Chair. A collection of
851. was made at the table, independent of those wbo paid
their usual donations. The Queen subscribed 201.

EXTRAORDINARY SHOT.—The Marquis of Douglas,
who is at present at Ashton Hall, near Lancaster, a few
days ago shot at a buck in the park, at a distance, as was
afterwards measured, of one hundred and eighty yards,
when the ball from his rifle absolutely passed through the
neck of his mark, and also killed a fine doe at a short
distance beyond !
THE ENGLISH AND FORRIGN UNION CLI7/I.—A new
Club, with the above denomination, it is said, is about to
be opened at Hertford House in Piccadilly, under very high
patronage. This immense mansion possesses two of the
noblest saloons in the kingdom, and is therefore peculiarly
well adapted for a large establishment ; but what is a great
desideratum, it has an infinity of small chambers, well cal-
culated for bed rooms, the want of which has been so long
complained of in the other Clubs. It is proposed to receive
the Members of the two House of Parliament, the Fo-
reign Ministers, Naval, Military, sad Literary men. There
will be a Coouittes of twelve. We have heard that the
Chair will be oared to the Noble Marquis, and that Mr. R.
Beate, the Biag's Surgeon, will be the Secretary.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.—There was a numerous at-
tendance of the Corps Dramatiyue and other persons interested in
Drury-Lane Theatre yesterday, at Garraway's, attracted by the sale of
shares in that establishment, under the will of the late T. Wright, gag.
The shares are for 1001. each, with a free admission, and dated the 12th
of August, 1812. It was stated that there was now every prospect of •
dividend being paid in the course of two or three seasons, but so uncer-
tain is the value of theatrical property, from the many fluctuations it is
subject to, that the shares were sold at only 101. each, not being more
than one-Half of the sum they produced a few months since.
The Duchess of Berri returned last week from her north-
ern tour, and the negotiation for taking Came House for her tesidence
will probably be soon concluded. On-Thursday last the Princess, with

DRAW OF MR. BRODERICK...—We regret to have the
painful duty of lauding the death of that eminent and promising Coun-
sel, lir. Broderick, who died yesterday morning, at the Saracen a Head
Hotel in this town. He had long practised at the Old Balky Bar, and
was looked upon by the Bench u a man of considerable MIME and
good understanding. His illness appear to have been the tunneled
gout, caused, it is said, by taking too much of thi,medicine w is so
generally administered " colchicum." He suffered very considerably,
and for some days his life was despaired of We bear he was related to
oar respectable banker, W. G. Hatton, Esq. with whom he had been
spending a tew days.--Newark Thrum
in Parliamentary Papers, just published, respecting the
East India trade, there is a long communication on the subject of Indian
tobacco, which premises with stating that " tobacco is cultivated in
every part of Hindoostan"— adding, " that the general opinion is, that
it la a plant of comparatively modern introduction into India; the prac-
tice of smoking hemp leaves, and other intoxicating drugs, it, however,
very ancient."

ST. DUNSTAN'S CRURCR, FLEET-STREET.—Nothing
now remains of this venerable pile of architecture besides the anbatuleti
wall fronting Fleet4treet, with its clock and well.known figures, and
the square tower in the passage leading to Chfibed's Inn. The
interior has been completely gutted, and the wall leading to the
burial-ground rued to its foundation, so that the burial ground
and the body of the church now form one common area. The
square tower in Clifford's-Inn-passage, being in substantial re-
pair, and standing suliciently back from the street, will be suffered
to remain, and will form the tower- of the new church. The wall in
leers
with with the clock, itz. is also to be left standing till the new
church is completed. The bodies buried in vaults under the church
have been moved into a large vault which extends under Fleet.street,
and which,.. soon as it is ascertained that no more bodies remain to be
moved, will be blocked up. In the course of awning the vaults, the
body of a female was found in remarkable preservation; the coffin sail
shroud were completely decayed, but the remained perfect, even w the
hair and teeth. The only change it had undergone was, that the skin
had become tough, like leather.
Ms Tow a • MOAT.—His Grace the Duke of Welling-
ton, as Constable of the Tower, having issued his order for the clean-
sing and deepening of the Tower Moat, workmen are now busily em-
ployed in the process. The Moat is to be deepened four feet all round
the Tower, which will make way for the great extra body of water which
