cing the taking of Turnhout, and the evacuation,
by the Belgians, nf.,Mon)pok gad. Retks. The
Belgian General NiellOin -reirvnted on the road to
Liar, where the Belgians were assembling.
ROTTk Da If , Avo. 2.--Our army, with the
Prince of Orange at its head, has entered the pro-
vince of Limburg ; that the troops passed the fron-
tiers with repeated cheers, all eager to meet the
enemy.
HAGUE, Au°. I.—His Majesty has issued
orders for public prayers in all the places of Di-
vine worship in the kingdom, on the 14th of this
month, to implore Me Divine blessing on his Ma-
jesty's arms iu the contest which honour and duty
have rendered necessary.
" Head-quarters, Bank-He:tog, Aug. 3.
" I have the honour to inform your Majesty that the first
movement of the army has been effected according to the
arrangements made yesterday ; so that the first division is in
advance of Baerle-Herzog, having its advanced posts at Son-
derey.gen and Bterle.Bruggl.
" There has been an action between the 2d battalion of
Yagers cnd the enemy, whose force is estimated at 400. The
enemy retreated to Merzplas. Three of our volunteers are
wounded.

" The 2d division occupies Poppet and Wielde, and hu
its advanced posts between the Eel and Ravels, where an
action took place on my tight, between the 2d battalion of
the 18th division, under Major Gegelur and some of the
enemy's yagers, supported by some cavalry. This batta-
lion charged the enemy 'with the bayonet, and drove them
from the houses and the neighbouring wood. The Duke of
Saxe Weimer and Col. Baggelaar, on foot, at the head o

the battalion, led the attack with great valour. Hatted to
endeavour to remove with the let and fd divisions, the bri-
gade of Cuirassiers, and 3d battalion of home ertilirey, and
endeavour to make myself master of Turnhout."
ANITEZDAM, AUG. 5.- —An official Report to
the King from the Prince of Orange, dated Aug.
3, in the evening, announces the taking of Tourn-
hout after an engagement with the corps of Niel-
lon, which, after a abort resistance, retreated, and
soon afterwards evacuated the place, where the
Prince had his bead-quarters. The Prince com-
manded witta the third division, which occupied
Arevdonk and Rethy. Niellon's troops had re-
treated on the road to Lier, where other detach-
ments of the enemy seem to be assembling.
SECOND CHAMBER OF THE STATES.

GENERA L.

Teti HAGUI, AUGUST s.—The Minister of
Foreign Affairs read the official papers :
"1. A Letter from the London Conference of July 22, in
answer to the King's Declaration respecting the 18 Articles.
"2. The Reply of the Dutch Government, dated Aug. 1.
"3. A Letter from the Minister of Foreign Affalts to the
Dutch Ambassadors to the five Courts, of the same date,
acquainting them with the state of affairs, and with his
Majesty's resolution.'
From the two last pieces, as well as the speech
of the members, it appears that Holland has for
many months made such numerous sacrifices, not-
withstanding its just cause, that the King has
given repeated proofs of his desire to contribute to
the general peace ; hut seeing that the Belgians,
who have rebelled against their lawful So-
vereign, were favoured; that a person had taken
the oath to a constitution in Belgium wholly at
variance with the honour of Holland, which is de-
prived by it of its necessary frontiers, whose rights,
founded on preceding treaties, are violated ; his
Majesty cannot assent to restrictions which must
lead to the ruin of his faithful subjects, nor can he
accede to the system of the Powers to preserve
peace at the expeuce of some States ; that being
driven to extremity, ho has at length given his
army orders to obtain, by arms, the conditions
which Holland has a right to claim ; that he does
not aim at conquest, and has commissioned his am-
bassador to negociate a treaty of separation between
Holland and Belgium on equitable terms.
It was resolved, on the motion of the President, to
present an Address to the King, expressing the ap-
probation of the Chamber of his Majesty's patriotic
resolution.

From the Hamburgh Papers, Aug. 2.
PITERSBURG, JULY 30.—The official lists, in-
cluding that of yesterday, sufficiently chew that
during the last eight days the cholera has abated
here since the 10th July, when it was at its
height, and this is, as in many other places, 14
days after its first appearance The number of
new cases has gradually decreased, and that of
recoveries increased. On the 10th there were
579 new cases, 48 recoveries, 237 deaths-19th,
314 new cases, 157 recoveries, 179 deaths.
In the environs of St. Petersburgh, however,
the disorder seems to be spreading; and in Cren-
ate& its ravages are very extensive, considering
the small population of the place. News was re-
ceived the day before yesterday, that several per-1
sons bad been attacked by it at Wyburg.
HAMBURG, Alio. 2.—The Cracow Courier
contains some extracts of Warsaw papers, dated
22d July. Among them are three reports from
the Commander-in-Chief to the National Govern-
ment.

No. I, dated from the head quarters, 17th July,
states that the Generalissimo having gone in person
to the corps under General Chrzanowski, found
that the accounts he had sent were less favourable
than the actual success warranted. The number
of prisoners was 1250 and 16 officers, and the
enemy's loss in killed and wounded very great.
One piece of cannon too was taken.
. _

No. 2 relates a successful attack made on the
15th by order of General Skarzynski on a division
of the Kasen regiment of dragoons posted in a
Ivillage between Rozan and Ostroleuka. 120 of
the Russians were made prisoners, and a great
quantity of baggage, &c. taken. Their killed
and wounded amouuted to 3 °flit ere and 54 men,
and the rest of the division were dispersed in the
woods. The Poles had one man killed and a few
slightly wounded. This is dated from the head
quarters near the town of Jerusalem.
No. 3 gives on account of a plan concerted by
the Commander-in-Chiefs, Gen. Cbrzanowski and
Romarino, to surprise a part of the corps of Gen.
Rudiger at Siedlic. The Russians, however, got
notice of the plan, and retreated, but were obliged
to abandon a quantity of baggage, &c. which fell
into the bands of Gen. Chranowski's corps. The'
Russians lost 121 soldiers and a physician, and
86 killed and wounded. Lieut. Col. Zanoyeki,
who was met by Gen. Romarino to attack a part
of Rudiger's van guard in Zozk, arrived there on
the 19th before day-break, and took 54 dragoons
with their horses ; the Russians had besides above
60 killed and wounded.—Dated Head Quarters,
July 20.
Nothing positive is known of the movements of
the Russian army on the left bank of the Vistula: I
only it is certain that the enemy's troops are in
Brersc, Radziejewo, and Izdin.
The Silesian Gazette says—" Private letters
from Kalisch of 24th and 25th inst. say, that a
Russian corps had advanced as Kolo six (27)
miles from Kalisch, and had notified to the Polish
authorities at Kalisch, that their functions would
cease. Detachments of Cossacks were already
seen about Turek, Kouiu, and other places nearer
to Kalisch, and the communication between Ka-
lisch and Warsaw was already interrupted.
BERLIN, JULY 28.—Accounts from Steller-
folinen of 23d say, that a large body of Cracovites,
reported to be under the command of the patriotic
chief, Puschel, had approached the Prussian fron-
I tier, near the village of Schettzehmen, and begged
to be received and protected in Prussia. Detach-
ments of landwehr have marched to the above
village to receive them.
The Russian post of July 20 has not arrived.—
The Warsaw post of July 25 is likewise still due,
probably in consequence of the military operations.
The President, Prince Cnrtoryski, had issued a
proclamation, calling on the inhabitants for their
assistance in fortifying its capital. The appeal
Iwas nobly replied to. Priests, children, and
women, of every rank, were seen the next day
I digging in the trenches. The different corporations
made their appearance, preceded by banners and
music. Prince Czartoryski assisted on the occasion.

FROM THE FRONTIERS OS POLAND, jutt
27.—We have no positive news relative to the
present situation of the Russian army; but 14
much is certain, that the Russian troops he,,
already reached Klodawa on the high road bettyetm
Posen and Warsaw, so that the direct communici.
tion between these two places is interrupted, The
head-quarters of Field-Marshal Paskewitsch are
said to have been at Nieasawa the day before res.
terday. The Poles think it is the intention of the
Russians to occupy first the province of Kalieeh.
and to establish in the chief town a commie,"
for the government of that province.
ST. FETERSBURGH, JULY 20.—8 y an hope,
rial ukase, the direction of the department of Fe,
reign Affairs is confided, during the absence of
Count Nesselrode, to the Privy Councillor Diwori.
Between the Bth and 16th the following pereees
died here, to the general regret :—Privy Councillor
Baumgarten, General Count Appermaun, and Ge•
neral Count Langeron. The theatres are shut to
prevent the spreading of the cholera. Besidei
the hospitals previously established, we have now
five hospitals, with 1,000 beds, for the receptionof
cholera of all classes.—Prussian State Gazette

From our own Correspondent.
PARIS, AUG. 6.—At length the Parisians are
content ; and if Government will let them support
liberty abroad, they, and all France, will be satis-
fied—tumults and party-spirit will cease, and we
shall have nothing but fraternisation in the in-
terior. It would be difficult to describe to you, the
moral change which has taken place since the
denunciation of the King of Holland has been
made known, and the prompt manner in which
it has been met by the French government.
On Friday, Paris presented a very animated ap.
pearance ; the warlike ardour of the whole popula-
tion was manifested in all directions. At ten o'clock
yesterday morning, the regiment of Chartres Hus-
sars left their barracks on the Quay d'Orsay, sad
proceeded through Paris, up the Rue Richelien,
and by the Boulevards, for Brussels. The whole
line which the traversed was crowded with people,
who cheered them and wished them success. The
Duke of Orleans, who is Colonel of the regt. quitted
Paris, accompanied by the Duke of Nemours, et
one o'clock in the morning ; an immense crowd wet
assembled round the Palais Royal to witness their
departure. Upwards of three hundred workmen
formed amongst themselves a common purse, and
purchasing links, escorted the two young dukes to
the barriers, amidst shouts of " Vive Is France!
Vivo la Belgique !"—all exclaiming that, in case
of need, they were ready to follow at the first call.
Ihe National Guard has sent a declaration to
Count Lobau, that they were ready to do the duty
of the garrison of Paris, as long as the war lasts,
and upwards of 4,000 have volunteered to proceed
to the frontiers.

In short, amongst all classes of the people, allis
joy and enthusiasm ; but if what the ministers
state, through the medium of their journals,
be true, they are preparing for themselves and the
country a terrible re-action. If the commence-
ment of hostilities be the only means, as they say,
lof securing peace, the 50,000 French troops that
have now entered Belgium, will be very
I little satisfied to march back again to
France, as they left it. Ah—no ! We
know the spirit which prevails in France too well
Ito believe, that will be the case. But it is not to
be concealed that the French nation enter on the
war with alacrity, because they expect as the result
to regain their favourite frontier the Rhine.
Already they consider Belgium within their grasp.
It is not Leopold they go to assist : it is their Bel.
gian brethren. They look upen Leopold as one
who has deprived them of a country, which na-
turally belongs to France ; and they required the
war as the premier pas towards regaining it.
Besides, there is Poland ! Will the French na-
tion be satisfied to assist Leopold, and neglect the
Poles ? If Belgium has not been found too near,
Poland will not be found too far; and thousands
of Frenchmen, with that view, are now pros*
forward to the frontiers. The hotel of M. de Lebon
is now besieged with uniforms, all eagerly de-
manding passports. It is stated that the
King of Holland acts alone in this business;
but with all the obstinacy of character for which
he has the credit of possessing, William of Nassau
is not quite such a fool as to leave the power gibs
five great powers single handed. All will soon be
out—and once the torch of war illuminated, Hea-
ven knows, in the present disposition of Kings and
people, when it will be extinguished. The moment
predicted by Canning has arrived, and the present
war will be one of opinions, and doubtless a san-
guinary one.
The news I last gave you of the death of Gene-
ral Frimont was premature ; he is, however, dan-
gerously ill. The news to-day from Lisaberg state
that Gen. Stutterheim has sunk under the cholera.

The letters from Cracow maintain the greatest
secrecy about the operations of Marshal Puke-
witch: they state that he is waiting for the corps
of General Toistol from Lithuania, and that
as soon as it arrives on the right bank of
the Vistula, and has taken a position our
Praga, the whole of the Russian army will
march directly on Warsaw, being also supported
by Rudiger, who is to woes from Pultoway. The
inhabitants of Warsaw are in the greatest uncer-
tainty, although provided with provisions of all
sorts for six weeks.

General Skraynecki has taken the best possible
position to combat the enemy, in cue General
Paskewitch should not °oviduct his planwith celerity
and prudence, he may be compromised with all his
forces, because the Polish army can, at will, go
from one side to the other of the Vistula, inter-
cepting all the communications of the Russians.
The Poles can either gofer or refuse battle as best
suits them. Thus, the friends of the Poles du
not consider the cause of that brave nation as des-
rate„ but expect, as heretofore, to see her establish
her independence.
The Poles at Paris have produced a letter on
'Change this day from Warsaw, which states that
the disaster of General Gielgud, in Lithuania, was
not confirmed in that city on the 23d ; and that it
is believed that the bad news from that quarter has
been greatly exaggerated. The Prussian State
Gazette has not arrived for two days, a thing quite
unprecedented. I have little doubt from this cir-
cumstance, that the Russian army is in a 'nise-
i rable state ; and that we shall, ere many days,
hear of its overthrew. The Poles I have seen to-
