APPROACHING TERMINATION OF THE BELGIC
INSURRECTION.
_ _

Pease, SZPT. 19.—Tbe Speech of the King of the Netherlands at
the opening of the States. General, has been torn, trampled in the mire,
and burnt at Brussels. It had, then, discontented, exasperated the
people. But this violent and instructive manifestation of the opinion
of the Belgic people has been succeeded by a political and G&W ma.
Waited= very different from the former—viz. the Address of the
Burgher Guard to the Deputies, on the subject of the Speech from
the Throne. This Address, which is totally destitute of patriotic
ardour and energy, is so insipid, that one would never suspect that
it was relative to a Speech received at first with so many imprecations.
The tone which pervades the Brussels Address is almost that of an
amend, honorable. It says—" That the devotedness of the Commune!
Guard preserved the houses of the functionaries, the Palaces of tilt
King and of the Princes, from being pillaged and burnt, and that the
faithful citizens gave protection to the soldiers, who were paralysed in
their movements by the people--a `truth which the Prince of Orange
himself am attest." Thus a certificate of good conduct is asked of the
Prince, who, to speak the truth, was very it received at Brussels, and was
even assailed with insulting vociferation'. They further excuse thansehr,
for having hoisted a flag different from the house of Orange. " It was (say
they) to prevent the appearance of any colours contrary to the reigning
dytuuay." They recur to the separation, but they take care to °beefy(
that the Commission which first expressed the wish for it was formai
under the auspices of the Prince of Orange when he was at Brussels
The separation, at first so ardently, so imperiously called for, to obtain
which it seemed that the Belgians were going to shed the last drop e:
their blood, and which they seemed in such a hurry to obtain, that the
King's Speech was burnt for not having proclaimed it in the very first
instance, is in the Brussels Address nothing more than a matter of
arrangement—.a solution of the false position which has been taken. Not.
withstanding the first urgent necessity for this measure. they resign
themselves " to the slowest Constitutional forms, in the hope that
this concession of the Deputies will at least procure for the coun-
try the repose and confidence of which it is so much in need."
Lastly, instead of the language which braved the Dutch force, which
declared that every Belgian would, if necessary, turn soldier for the
sacred cause of independence, they ask, in a tone of ill.dieguised szdr
mission, the withdrawal of the Royal troops. They confess that" con•
siderable masses of the population, uneasy at the vicinity of these
troops , are in a constant state of alarm." And to this singular confer
'ion they add an epigram against themselves, which gives, as it were,
the finishing stroke to this pallinody. "Are we rebels?" they say,
are we audacious revolters, that we are surrounded with these mena•
dog preparations ?" Certainly there is no longer any need of formida-
ble preparations. The retrogradation of the movement is so evident.
from the words and the ideas of the Brussels Address, that there can be
no doubt of a speedy arrangement, which will replace every thing on
theiancient footing, by means of some concessions from the Goverir
meat, decided in the Stet/pi:kennel Let us not be charged with in-
justice towards the Belgians, a& Ac.

Pears, Sunday Evening.—Prince Talleyrand will set out for Lon-
don on Tuesday morning. He does not mean to display at the outset a
numerous suite, but if he finds it probable that his embassy will be of
any duration, he will maintain a splendid establishment in the Bri-
tish metropolis. The Paris journals, in adverting in somewhat ue•
vent terms to his reception some days ago at La Fayette's wirer,
forgot to state that he was introduced on that evening by Monsieur
Casimir Perrier, a gentleman of the highest reputation in France for
=and honour, and who is one the most distinguished
of
the liberal party. The rascals complain at one moment
that the King does not avail heff sufficiently of the talents of pub-
lic men who are ont of office, and in the next, they denounce the ap-
pointment of Talleyrand, one of the ablest and most experienced
diplomatists in Europe, at a moment when France. in her new pod.
tion, particularly requires the services of such an agent. A sensation
is created here by the dismissal from the list of Ambassadors of M. Ray.

Linos, Sept-. 11.—When a Portuguese suffers any grievous
affliction or disappoinunent, he generally consoles himself with the ex-
clamation " Paciencia.'" Patience seems, indeed, to become the mouth
of the most passive people on the face of the earth; it is the magic of
this word, perhaps, which enables them to bear with so much fortitude
the galling distress which presses on every side, influencing almost every
individual, from the King to the beggar. It is this, surely, and nothing
else, that enables them to see,: with so little movement of sympathy, the
numerous prisoners from among their fellow-citizens, who are seen every
day moving towards the place of their confinement; and to hear every
morning, with so little surprise, of the nocturnal intrusions of armed
soldiers upon the domestic peace of their neighbours, tearing away fit-
titers from their families, and even carrying off mothers and children to
shut them up in the custody of mercenary gaolers. It was but recently
that a hand of 40 or 50 police soldiers, in the middle of the night, de-
manded admission, " in the King's name," at the gate of an English
gentleman, who, very properly, refused, on the ground that they came
without the British Consul's authority. Their object was to get from
his garden into that of the adjoining house, the better to secure an
individual whom they were in search of ; not gaining admittance with the
above awful mandate, as they expected, they scaled the garden wall of the
house they meant to attack, and thus effected their purpose in securing
end conveying to prison a Portuguese Fidalgo whose opinions were
too Constitutional for the times. To what extent, whether to the
full measure, the Government purposes to try the patience of the
people, time will, it is to be hoped, soon discover. Doubtless the
regular prisons, though numerous, are becoming very crowded, and this
inconvenience is to be relieved by the establishment of prisons "of
e.se," in the Tagus, on board the Don Joao, and the St. Sebastiso.
The same activity still prevails among the troops and the police, and I
bear it stated, upon very good authority, that one night Don Miguel
visited incognito the neighbourhood of some of the barracks, as it were
a spy upon his own troops. The affair of St. Übcs, which I mentioned in
my last, was immediately communicated by the French Consul to his Go-
vernment, and we have now to see whether the tri-coloured flag of France
may be insulted with impunity. With regard to the provinces, there is
1,e7 little intelligence : they talk of a guerilla corps in the neighbourhood
of Braga ; also of disturbances at Coimbra, in which the students of the
University have taken a part. It is stated, also, that the Maor of the
11th Rifle Corps, stationed there, has been fired at and wounded, but not
mortrlly. Letters from Oporto are silent as to any commotion, there.
It is reported that troops from Rio de Janeiro have landed at Terceira.
In Lisbon itself things have worn a quiet aspect during this last week,
with the exception of imprisonments, and they seem quietly enough
conducted ! and the detention in the street of some persons at night by
the police, to have their pockets searched and papers =mina.
The Miguelite party here can scarcely think it possible that
Great Britain should acknowledge the new King of the
French. The Constitutionalists are in the highest hopes, but
perhaps they wait till the Spaniards act the example. I have this
moment heard that an express has arrived from Conde de Figueira,
at Madrid, to the Government here, stating that a Revolution broke
out in the capital of Spain on the 6th and 7th Insi.--no particulars
have yet transpired. It is strongly asserted that Don Miguel Is about
to visit the Provinces, and that a Regency is to be appointed during
his absence, of which the late Regent, Dona babel Maria, is to be
President; and the other parties are to be Conde de Sampayo An-
tonio and Conde de PenerffeL
