PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.
BRUIAT 10.

It is now my turn to address `•ou, and I will do so
until lam also suable to advocate the good cause any longer. I
have still three weeks or a month at my disposal, and something
may be done in that time. CLans has confessed himself the author
of the article inserted In the Courtier des Pays .Bas of the 2d inst.
Instantly, arrest, imprisonment in the Petits Cannes, a dungeon,
seizure of papers, and a new accusation of conspiracy: but as he
could not conspire alone, it was necessary to find an accomplice,
and it is poor NEERVOO&T whom they have caught. He is
treated like CL4ES, as De POTTER and his friends were
treated before, and as I shall perhaps be treated myself in a very short
time. From the activity of our rulers equalling their susceptibility,
it is impossible to defend myself before my turn arrives. I am
not a conspirator, but I have taken my measures to ensure you a
correspondent. Have you seen our new law on the press? It is a
sort of anodine. There are no longer eight years of banishment,
but this will not prevent people from being banished, for
it does not exclude the supposition of conspiracy ; and this
is the grand resource of the organs of justice and injustice. Let us,
however, confess the truth : there is a conspiracy, and the most
terrible of all, for it is not a conspiracy! It is an unanimous sen-
timent of evil, its causes and remedies: together with a united
determination to adopt these remedies. There arc no plans, no
secre: meetings, neither mystery nor association, oaths or leaders.—
There is unity of principles and impulsion. Orders are neither given
nor received : nobody acts except from his own feelings, and yet the
most perfect harmony prevails. In the late trials, great attempts
were made to divide us. With all the stoicism of his character,
de POTTER sometimes formed a most Severe judgment of his
political friends. Some sarcasms be printed, not to excite resent-
ment, were extracted from his Correspondence, and exposed to the
malignity of the public. But theme who were the objects of these
sarcasms, were the first to laugh at them. The hopes of the King's
counsel were thus frustrated: The appeal thrown in by de POTTER,
in renewing the debates, will contribute to keep up the irritation of
parties. It is from the 24th to the 28th instant that the cause
is to come on, and a mitigation of sentence is already spoken
of. The courageous article of CLAEs, in exciting the anger of
the Judges, by the firmness of its language, and its approba-
tion of de POTTER'. views, also proved that the affair was
much more serious than people imagined. The certainty now ac-
quired by the agents of Government, of an unattackable alliance
between all enlightened men, and that each had determined to brave
the terrors of the law in his turn, has given rise to salutary reflec-
tions; but hatred and vengeance will carry the day. The news
from the Hague is not such as we expected. It would appear that
Ministers have succeeded in persuading the King that the popular
agitation here is merely the work of a few demagogues. It is,
however, announced, that the royal family will not pass the next
winter at Brussels. This is truly an admirable mode of punishing
the Belgians

On Saturday night Mrs. WATLiTT, who has been performing
at the Cobourg for the last fortnight, again appeared in the cha.
racters of Yorke and Don Gionanni. The established excellence
of this favourite actress in both these parts,renders a formal criticism
unnecessary ; suffice it to say, the songs were sung by her with
her accustomed taste and sweetness, and were loudly applauded.
The popular drama of Peter Bell followed the opera, in which
DATIDOZ sustained the part of the waggoner with great talent.
In several of the scenes he was eminently successful. Many of the
audience were affected by the strong feeling and pathos which he
infused into the part. SMILE and CONQUIST also acquitted
themselves very respectably. The former gentleman deserves great
praise for the chaste style of his acting—a merit which can seldom
be awarded to tragedians of the minor theatres. Miss WATSON
was also applauded in the little she had to do. To.night Mrs.
WATLETT takes her benefit, when we trust she will receive that
support from the patrons of the Cobourg to which her talents
entitle hcr.
