His MAJESTY having named this day, to receive the
LORD MAYOR and Corporation of London, the Sheriffs,
Lord Mayor-elect, Recorder, and Aldermen, proceeded in
State to St. James's Palace, where they were graciously re-

ceived by his MAJESTY, who was pleased to accept the
Address of his loyal Citizens; and appointed Lord Mayor's
Day to dine at Guildhall.

Despatches are this day received at the Colonial Office,
from Sir H. TURNER, dated Bermuda, August 29th; and
from Sir PEREGRINE MAITLAND, dated Halifax, Septem-
ber the 12th.

At three o'clock this day, the expected steamers from Hol-
land had not arrived; and from the prevalence of westerly
winds, they are not looked for till a late hour. No further
intelligence has arrived from the Continent than we com-
municate to our readers in our subsequent columns, from the
Morning Papers; and which do not, in fact, bring later
news than we were enabled to present to our readers, in an
abridged form, last night.

The horrors said to have been perpetrated towards the
people of Brussels, which we communicated to our Readers
yesterday, in an extract from the Morning Chronicle, we
are inclined to believe, with the majority of oar contempora-
ries, will be found very exaggerated, if not untrue. At the
same time, it can hardly be supposed that a conflict similar
to what has occurred in Brussels, could occur, without the
perpetration of horrors of equal magnitude. It is truly a
desperate act to turn military into a city, to combed
its inhabitants ; and we are of opinion that this exertion d
the skims ratio regum was, in the case of the Brussels in-'
serrection, most imprudently made. If a similar act was
proved by the result, to have been an imprudent act in
Paris, it must have been still more so in Brussels ; and we
cannot but mark the impartial justice of those Journalists
who can apply the word atrocious, and others the strongest
words in the English language, to the former—while they
pass over the latter without even censure. We are far from
wishing to apologise for the policy of CHA in Es X. and his
Ministers; but we can imagine that they never contemplated
the bloodshed that took place in Paris ; for military
has been known to have effect in repressing popular com-
motion, even with very little actual employment, except as
a species of intimidation. But the example of Paris ren-
dered the chances of its efficiency less probable in Brussels ;
while the second failure of such an experiment was more
fatal to the cause of the established Government, than any
other circumstance could prove. We have too good an
opinion of the King of the NETHERLANDS, to believe that
he foresaw the opposition which he was to meet; but it is
evident he was more culpably erroneous in judgment even
than CHARLES. We observe an attempt to represent the
malcpntents of Brussels as unimportant in number ; but it
is evident, from the tumult uary uprising of the people, all over
the Catholic provinces, that the discontent has been general.
We really believe, that had more temprate mom. of
checking the revolutionary spirit been pragesed, that he writ)
led:the attack on Brussels, would have...teen chosen by its
population 'as their King; an airangenent, than which
nothing Would have been more likely .to stop all the evils
which. have subsequently,. or. which are AWL to take place ;
bet. we doubt -now the possibility of his ever becoming
Popular. •
