THIS DAY.)

BILUSSELs, JULY 10.—The Belgic Association
is dissolved. A Journal announces this fact in the
following terms : " The Directing Committee of
the Association has just resigned its Commission,
because it can no longer proceed towards the object
which the Association proposed, viz. the mainte-
nance of the integrity of the territory, without de-
daring itself in hostility with the Congress, which
represents the nation, which it will not do on any
account.

Several Journals contain the following article :
A boat, coming from Brussels, has been stripped
and conveyed into the Canal of St. Jean ; it
is said to contain the furniture of the palace
of Terveuren, which belonged to the Prince
of Orange." This is false, as any one may
assure himself, by taking the trouble to
go to Terveuren. The cases in question contain
the effects of Sir Charles Bagot, the English am-
bassador at the Hague, who passed through Brus-
sels on his way to London.—llloniteur Beige.
By a decree of the Regent, dated yesterday,
Messrs. de Souter and Spilthooren, members of
the Committee of Safety at Ghent, have been dis-
charged from their office. M. de Souter, advo—
cate, was arrested the day before yesterday, at the
town hall of Ghent, and immediately can ied to the
citadel. Ile is accused cf having been at the head
of a numerous assemblage of persons, who left,
Ghent on the sth, inst. with the intention of go-
inn r, aainst Brussels.

The Messager de Gand says—" Domiciliary
visits have been made in the house of M.
Souter, where, it is said, very important
papers were found. At a public house, M. Sou-
tir's property, sixty scythes, of the Polish fashion,
were found and seized, and in the house of M. J.
de Schepper, manufacturer of scythes for the pa-
triotic association. The officers of justice went to
arrest M. Si ilthooren, who escaped by throwing
himself into the water. We learn that these pro
ceedings have taken place in consequence of the
arrest of Joseph Aussens, adjutant of the civic
guard at Locheven, who had important papers about
him.

The Cabinet messengers and extraordinary cou-
riers were despatced from Brussels yesterday after-
noon, between 4 and 5 o'clock, to Paris, London,
ane Germany.
The Dutch troops stationed on our fron-
tiers have made a considerable movement which
has caused a similar one among our troops.
Gen. Tiekin de Ternbone whose head-quarters are
at Schilde set out yesterday morning at the head
of a regiment of Lancers. It is supposed that his
head-quarters will advance in a few days.
JVLY 11.—The Congress was to have had a
sitting to-day ; but at two o'clock 92 members
were present, none of those who voted against the
18 articles being present, so that no business could
be done : the Assembly adjourned to the 18th
instant.

The Journal de la Haye gives its opinion of the
preliminaries in the following terms : "If the
King of the Netherlands subscribes to these ar-
rangements, lie subscribes to the bankruptcy
and ruin of the country. But by the fundamental
law, he cannot ratify the cession of any part of the
territory, without the consent of the States-General ;
and he cannot charge the treasury with debts with-
out their assent. Let him refer to the States-Ge-
neral, if it is necessary, and we venture to believe,
that no voice will be raised in favour of their pro-
posals, but that all will auswer " No !" a thousand
times "No !" We prefer death to ignominy. Let
us rather use our strength to brave iniquity. If
Europe fears the first cannon—shot well !—we
will fire it from the citadel of Antwerp, and from
the Dutch fleet, commanded by Herves, who will
prefer death to the disgrace of their flit.. !"
The Congress having, by its decision, re-
moved the last obstaclek to the definitive con-
stitution of the country, Messrs. Lebeau and
Devaux have judged that they had attained the
object, m ith a view to which they entered the admi-
nistration. Those two Ministers retire, and thus
answer the calumnies which a party has heaped
upon them. Their resignation has been given and
accepted. The Regent, considering that only a few
days will elapse before the arrival of the King, and
that in this short interval the business of the depart-
ment of Foreign Affairs can be of little importance,
has not thought it necessary to appoint a successor
to M. Lebau. The Minister of the Interior (M.
Sauvage) acts ad interim.

J uivl2.—M. de Souter arrived here the day
before yesterday, and was placed in the prison of
the Petits Carnees.

Messrs. Le Hardy and Beaulieu, father and son,
and d'Armagnac, are in confinement, without
liberty to see any body.
ANTWERP, JULY 11.—There is no foundation
for the report that the Dutch had made an attack
near Turnhout. We are in hopes that the King
will proceed to Brussels by way of Antwerp, where
he will arrive on board a royal yacht of the King of
England.—Brussels Papers, July 13.
VIENNA, JULY 2.—His Majesty the Emperor
will probably pass four or five weeks in Baden, and
then go for a short time to the family estates in
Upper Austria. The French Legation had yester-
day a courier from Paris, and despatched two to-
day. An Austrian and two English couriers have
arrived here this week.—Four per Cents, 68; Bank
Shares, 993. Allgemeine Zeitung, July 7.
Ps wig, JULY 10.—The Memorial Bordelais
has the following article :—We have a letter from
Bayonne, which says—There is nothing new in
Spain. All the oats in the magazine at Bayonne
are shipping for Dunkirk, Lille, &c. which counte-
nances the report of an intended armament on the
northern frontiers. El Pastor has returned to
Bayonne. The troop. detached from the garrison
of St. Jean de Luz, to go to St. Pee, to assist
in the arrest of the Spanish refugees, have re-
turned to that town. All is quiet on the frontiers.

THURSDAY, JULY 14.

TO CORRESPONDENTS.
.*,, Comfort Sawn, in defence of the Beer and Coffee
Shops, against " A FRIEND or TRUTH," to-morrow.

There is no direct news from Poland, com-
munications being delayed by a succession of
quarantines ; but there are reports credited—one
that P ASK EM ITCH has been captured by the
Poles, on his route from the Prussian frontiers to
head quarters at Pultusk ; and also that GIELGUD
and CHRZANOWSKI have surrounded and captured
a Russian General and his division. An interesting
report, addressed to the Foreign Polish Agents by
the National Government of Warsaw, upon the
conduct of the Prussian Government towards it,
appears in one of the Paris Papers, which we will
give at length to-morrow.
The election returns in France are matter for
exultation to both parties ; but it appears that 150
new members have been returned, nearly all in the
popular interest. Most of those called ministerial
are also pledged to vote against the hereditary
Peerage.

Every thing augurs well at present, in regard
to the arrangements in Belgium, and the Commis-
saries are making preparations to accompany the
new sovereign from London to Brussels.
Since writing the above, and, at a late hour this
afternoon, we received the Letter of our Private
Correspondent in Paris, and our usual supply
of the Paris Journals. We cannot now make
room for extracts from these Papers ; at the same
time, we must not omit to state, that the Elections
in France are proceeding, according to the Ales-
sager des Chambres, very favourably for the
Ministers. Up to the present, 400 nominations
are known, of which 300, it says, may be
reckoned as Ministerial.
We find the following in Le Temps:

" This morning, at four o'clock, domiciliary visits were
made at the houses of ten citizens, charged as being Editors
of the Journal of La Societe des Antis du Potpie. Messrs.
nava and Auguste Blanqul were arrested. 111. Anthony
Thouret, who was seriously ill in bed, was, on that consi-
deration alone, not submitted to the same fate."

Various paragraphs in the different French jour-
nals which we have received, seem to infer a general
belief in the political circles of Paris, that Russia,
Prussia, and Austria, still meditate a united effort
to restore the paramount authority of kings; in
support of which belief, the facts of increasing
concentrations of Austrian troops in Italy—symp-
toms of co-operation between the Carlists in France
and the Russian Government—and rumours that
Holland is dissatisfied with the Belgian arrange-
ments, are adduced.—The army of Observation on
the northern frontier of France, according to the
Journal du Commerce, will be, by the end of this
month, increased to one hundred and forty thousand
men—all displaying the greatest enthusiasm.

The mountebank scone of Wednesday morning,
renders it evident that the actors mean to dissolve
connection with all who respect the decorum of tha
senate, and the urbanity of civilized intercourse.
The amenity of Sir ROBERT PEEL so little ac-
corded with the boisterous tactics of some of his
associates, that he wisely shook them off. The
parties more nearly resembled the Bulls at the
Stock Exchange, during a rapid fall of
stocks, than any other scene familiar to
the public. Surely it will never be re-
pented—surely it will decide all the unde-
cided—and surely Noble Lords in the other
House will never identify themselves with such an
opposition.
The stake must be high that excited such a
struggle, and none know this REAL v A Lye better
than those engaged in its contest. It teaches all,
who choose to read, also to mark, and learn !
While, however, we marvel at one side, with all.
its pranks, antics, and manoeuvres, we cannot but
admire the firmness with which the cause of the
people was fought by so respectable a proportion of
their representatives. We really had not given Lord
ALPIIORP credit before, for such determined in-
flexibility. He stood with his phalanx like the
British heroes at Waterloo, and allowed the enemy

to expend their fire till they were wearied, or like
the booby birds in Cornwall, who knock their own
brain's out, by flying against a white board set up
by fowlers for the purpose. We really pity the
phrenzy of the worthy gentlemen, mu), of whom
are capable of better doings, and withal pleasant
men at their own fire sides, and in their family
circles.

Let us, however, hope that the crisis is past,
and that such a SAD SCENE as that of Tuesday
night will never again be enacted in the vendable
fabric of St. Stephen's Chapel. How strongly it
resembled many of the noted days of the French
Convention in 1793.-4.

Lord FARNHAM, principal proprietor at New-
townbarry, to whom the noted Graham is Steward,
made a series of very extraordinary statements in
the Hots of Loans last night. He persisted
in the face of such various testimony before the
Coroner's Jury, that the unarmed people had fired
on the Yeomanry and killed one of them, though
every circumstance of that man's death, by one of
his own comrades, was detailed on oath before the
Coroner, and by two or three eye-witneeses. But
a fact on which his Lordship appears to be better
informed, is the general non-payment of tithes
through all Ireland, and the consequent extreme
distress of the Clergy. This was to bo feared as
a consequence of the bloody transaction at New-
townbarry—it appeared to contaminate the tithes
and make them smell of blood—and from this
cause the violence of a few men has done irrepa
Table mischief to the question, which their igno-
rance meant to make triumphant.
The CHANCELLOR interrupted Lord F. and
stated, that he thought his narrative was injurious
to the course of justice now in train before the
Coroner, or a Grand Jury. And Lord GRET
spoke in a tone apparently intended not to reach
the Bar— a delicacy for which we give him credit,
since we now collect the fact, of which Lord F.
professed his ignorance, that the affair is in train,
as it ought to be, of effective prosecution.
Lord MELBOURNE also deprecated discussion,
while PROCEEDINGS ARE PENDING; and the
public, therefore, have the satisfaction to know,
that the two Irish slaughters will be fully investi-
gated, whatever may be the result in regard to the
unhappy affair in Vales, where no proceedings are
pending ; for it is thought that disputes about tithes
or wages may always be more easily and justly
settled, than by having recou:se to fire-arms.

But the petition presented by the Bishop of
FERNS from the clergy of his diocese, and the
statements which he made, prove incontestibly that
it is cruel to throw the church clergy any longer
on a dependance on the tithe system; for it ap-
pears, at least in Ireland, that it can be made to
yield no income, and when it does, the collection
must be made by the civil or military power. It
is not yet come to this in tEngland, but even
here no source of income can be more irk-
some to the Clergy, nor more injurious to the
cause of the establishment ; while the mutual
irritation, generates an opposition of interests, such
as was displayed in the last elections. We have
too often remarked on the incompatible union of
the duties of a Christian Minister with the lay
duties of a Magistrate.
The ARCHBISHOP'S and Lord DACRE'S bills
were postponed till Monday ; but to-morrow the
CHANCELLOR brings in his bankrupt court's bill.
In the COMMONS, the toll on Road Steam Car-
riages was proposed to be modified.
Mr. SADLER again postponed his very desirable
motions relative to the Poor, both of Ireland and
England.

Mr. WOOD presented a petition from Ashton,
in favour of the Beer Bill, and warned the public
against calumnies of magistrates, who often are
proprietors of public houses. Mr. HUNT extolled
the Beer Houses, as a valuable concession to the
comforts of the labouring classes.
On the presentation of some Reform Petitions,
Alderman Mountox avowed himself, as hitherto,
a supporter of the Bill, and justified his vote in the
Appleby case, by stating that the palpable mistake
bad been communicated to Lord Jouw RUSSELL,
but without any attention.

A long conversation then arose as to particular
clauses in the bill ; and on Lord Jour; RUSSELL
moving that the Speaker leave the Chair, Cap-
tain GO kDON rose, and after explaining his mo-
tives for moving the adjournment last night, he
enlarged on the hostile preparations of the re-
formers in London, Glasgow, Manchester, and,
above all, in Birmingham ; and asked what would
be the consequence of enfranchising 250,000
Dissenters, and of publications calling tithes a
cheat and delusion ?

On the Committee being formed, Mr. BERNAL
in the Chair, Mr. WYNN made a series of objections
to places in Schedule A, and moved that the first
and second clauses should be postponed.
Sir E. SCGDEN followed at great length on the
same side ; and Mr. STANLEY replied, also in de-
tail.

Mr. CROK ER followed, but was heard with ios-
patience, and both he and Sir E. SIG DEN dwelt,
with force on the surreptitious clause about half
yearly tenants. Mr. C. insisted too, at length,
on the pending Bill of Mr. SLANET to relieve £lO
housekeepers from payment of poor rates.

Lord A Lyn o R P remarked that the speakers bad
not discussed the clauses before the House, but the
Bill generally, and as to the half-yearly clause, it
had been introduced without suspicion of its dis-
franchising tendency, and would therefore be al-

tered. Their object had been to extend the fran-
chise to the lowest minimum of property.
Col. Wool), Mr. C. PELHAM, and Sir R. PF.r.i.
supported Mr. %Vv..; w's amendment, the tatter :!
great length, hi which he stated kis plan to bz, t
give Members to large towns, and take away au
equal number of the boroughs.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL replied, and Colonel
SIBTUORPE, Mr. WYNN, Sir A. AGNEW, MI.
HUNT, and Mr. J. JOHNSTONE, severally spok,•
brictlY, and amidst loud calls of " Question."
After which Mr. WYNN'S motion was negatived
by 29:2 to 174, awl the first clause assented to :Ft
tvo o'clock.

A meeting of the Lords of the Council OA
place this day, at the Council Chamber, White-
hall, on the subject of claims to do suit and ser►•ice
at the IC t xo's Coronation, which is now appointed
to take place on Thursday the Bth of September
next.

There were present at the Council their Royal
Highnesses the Dukes of Sussex, and GLOU-
CESTER, the LORD CHANCELLOR, the Marquis of
LANSDOWNE, the Archbishop of CANTERBURY,
the Bishop of Lox DON, the Marquis of WIN-
CHESTER, the Duke of RicuatoN n, the Marquis of

Office, from Paris, from Brussels, and from the
Hague. _

General Lord Ht t. Levee —Lord Hu. , as

Marquess of Oamox o, and about forty-five other
Officers.

Quebec papers, to the 12th June, have bees re-
ceived at the N. and S. American Coffee House.
They are void of interest, with the exception of fur-
ther arrivals of emigrants, during the past week,
of s,l46—making the total number this season,
25,272.
A few days ago a messenger arrived here from the
King of Holland, with despatches of importance,
and which have hitherto been a secret. Now we
are informed, that the despatches demanded of the
five Allied Powers the guarantee of the 18 Articles
of the Treaty of Peace between Holland and Bel-
gium, that hereafter they might not be altered or
infringed upon; and we understand that the de-
mand of his Dutch Majesty has been complied with,
and despatched yesterday to Holland by a steamer.
An account has been received in the City, by the
Dutch steam-boat, of some new success on the part
of the Poles against the Russians. A General and
the whole of his staff, from among the latter, are
said to have been taken, besides a considerable
quantity of military stores.
We are sorry to see that complaints are reite-
rated about the mal-treatment of Mr. TAy I.OR.
The magistrates have been obliged to meet to in-
struct the gaoler; but a man who cannot distin-
guish between a misdemeanour and a felony, seems
to be very unfit to fill such an office. We are
sorry that the character of our laws should be thus
brought into question.
It is stated by a medical practitioner of first-rate
professional rank, that from an accurate investi-
gation lately made, the important fact has been
discoveted, that of the patients admitted into
Lying-in-Hospitals, an average of one in four
die—whereas of the patients received by Cha-
rities at the patients' own houses, the average
of deaths is only four in every eleven hundred !
Yesterday at one o'clock his MAJESTY, escorted

Since the days of the Bill of Exclusion, the
Whigs and the Tories have not been more incensed against
each other. They do not communicate—they do not speak
—they scarcely nod at one another.
Although the day of Prince Leopold's departure
is not quite fixed, it will probably be on Saturday or Sunday
next.

There is a requisition in the City for a Meeting,
to call upon Alderman Tl:onipson to resign his scat, in c•ai.
sequence of his singular conduct in the House of otrar.ons
on Tuesday night. The Altiernian is placid in the same
Predicament as Sir Robert Wilson : he had better retire
quietly.

Mr. Mo so A/I of Deptford Yard, hereby makes
this public acknowlet!gment, that the accusation which he
brought forward against Mr. Gnaw. of the said place, was
perfectly unfounded, through mistake.
