PRINCE OF ORANGE.

Oltet at Antwerp, 0et.16.

The rumour in the City of an intention of calling out the
Militia at present is unfounded.

This day despatches were received at the Foreign °Eel)
from his Excellency the Right Hon. S:r rat) B v r Go R DON,
our Ambassador at Constantinople.

It will be observed, by the report of our City correspon-
dent, that the Consol Market this morning excited the
greatest interest ; and we are given to understanci, from
a respectable quarter, that rarely have the spreulators
exhibited more agitation than they have done to-day.
—lt seems, in fact, that those parties whose influence
has been hitherto used to keep up the prices, have, at
length taken alarm, at the louring appearance of the politi-
cal horizon ; and evince the greatest anxiety to close those
accounts, they have so frequently succeeded in carrying
over from one settlement to another. The attempt to
cut, has cost the party attempting it, somewhat dear.
Without abetting the gambling propensities of either
Bull or Bear, we have to announce, that the
general feeling, among the monied people seems in favour of
a still further decline in the public funds, arising wholly
from the increasing value of money, and the unfavourable
appearance of political matters.

When we now sit down to address our readers, we hare
little before us, of new intelligence from France, or the
other Continental nations, in addition to what has before
formed the subject of our remarks. We have intelligence
just brought to us, that a temporary panic on the
Stock Exclianio is occasioning a sudden depression
in the national barometer; and, before we go to press, we
shr.ll, most probably, be able to explain it, better than the
above. We perceive clouds lowering around the horizon on all
sides, black enough, and threatening- enough, to originate
e;i:freh..nsions. The very last intelligence from France,
mist give rise to the most serious misgivings, in every
reflective mind, that the pnmenence of a judicious
administratien of the affairs of that important na-
tion, is not beyond contingency ; for an executive that
is driven by the cabals of revolutionary demagogues,
from meas•;res that must be congenial to all that is esti-
mable in the human character, must prove itself weak and
inefficient, in all the duties of government—particularly those
of a more onerous, and less popular description.
If ‘ve tun' our attention to the other great surrounding
monarchies, it priori reasoning, without awaiting for the de-
velopenient of symptoms—of which, however, there are not
wanting n! 411 y —must convince us that their present
tranquillity is precarious. The partial conflagration
which has already shewn itself in one district,
may be in some degree subsided ; and if the
French Government mut pursue its present line of dig-

mike, and consolidate its own power, by innox-
jowly according with the interests of its neighbours, the
clouds chich it:pend over the central districts of Europe,
may pass over without bursting ;—but the fire of successful
revolt i 3 if too porn:dating a character to he excluded by
mechanical obstruction : a people wisely governed, and
morallf attached, are us non-conductors to the destructive
fluid ; and if the Gove:innents on the Continent do not
combine with physical ft,: ce, the real moral energies of their
nations, which can only be called forth by judicious acts of
concession, in redressing what may be popularly considered
wrong in the system of their government, their tranquil-
litc cannot be firmly established.
The peculiar political situation of a people is however,
frequently, in despite of the wisest acts of a Govcument, a
situation of suffering; and such a situation it is not iu the
power of any Government suddenly to change. Such
is the situation, we sincerely believe, rr.':re or lea, at
present cf almost all the nations in Europe ; for we
cannot credit the assumption, that there is any Go-
vernment in Europe, at the present day, so base and blind as,
in design, to abuse and misgovern its people; or which does
not sincerely endeavour to accomplish their comfort and satis-
faction. But existing distress is, to continuo our metaphor,
the ready conductor of tho revolutionary fluid ; and to the
unthinking enthusiast, and unprincipled demagogue, this
fact is well known.

While thus meditating on other nations, have we no rea-
sons to be apprehensive of the tranquillity of our own ? We
fear there are not wanting symptoms to alarm. But vo
know, that the great mass of every people value highly
the blessings of tranquillity. Hero we are sure the Brea
mass are morally inclined, and prone to support, the supre-
macy of the laws. To this sober-mindedness, and a cer-
tain self-remedying principle in our institutions, we look as a
security against the violent internal commotion 3,
disturb the other nations of Europe.

We have Bombay papers to the 13th Juno. \V take
following from the 12th

" The cholera morbua broke ;nit on board tint lien. Corn-
panv'o ship Buckinghamshire. Capt. ihadon, on ThurAlay,
the 10th inst. and, by 1 o'clock on the i''riday, I 8 hands had
died, and there were between thirty and forty in a very de-
plorable condition. The greatest aid wee promptly adatinii-
tered by the medical officers of his Majesty's ship Challen-
ger and of the Indiamen. Medical aid vas ulso supplied
front the shore, and every nteasnro that could arrest
the progress of the horrid disease was speedily
adopted by Government. Tin; :,7;rviving numbers
of the crew were removed on Friday to Butcher's
Island, such of the sick, however, a' could be brought on
shore, have been removed to the h .spital. The ship itself
was ordered to be removed to tho ground.
The disease is purely local, and nut one of tha other
Indiamen, nor uny of the free-traders, in the harbour has
been attacked. On short) the complaint is gradually as-
suming so mild a complexion, that only 18 cases were re-
ported as having taken place nmongb: the whole population
in the middle of the week.

We have a file of Calcutta papers to the 10th June, the
contents of which aro important. It appears that serious
disturbances had broken out on the frontiers of Upper Assam.
Reports of those having reached Captain Neutrino, the po-
litical agent, of an irruption, 2,000 Singpoos, under Wakum
Koomjuu, who had crossed the river Booreo Dheing, and
effected a junction with tho I.uttora Saruu, their united
strength amounting to 2,800, with an intention of ad-
vancing on Suddeya, the agent accordingly proceeded
against them in person. Having taken up a position on the
Barrumpooter, he received information that the Singpoos
had come down the Thenga on rafts, to attack the village of
Suttee, with a force of 54 rank and file, and 250 militia. He
fell upon them, and put them to the route, with a loss on
their part of 13 killed. The Singpoos retreated to Suttore,
and, to the number of 2,500, began to construct stockades. In
consequence, measures were taken for calling out the con:in-
gent of the whole of the chiefs under the Political Agent's
authority, who assembled to the amount of 1,000 men, 400
of whom were armed with English muskets. On the advance
of the first detachment, the enemy deserted their works, and
were driven across the bills, and, finally, out of the British
territory,-40,000 maunds of rice were taken. Whilst the
above occurrences were passing a body of Assamese insur-
gents, about 400 in number, made an irruption on the post
of Ringpore. Lieut. Mackie marched against them, and
beat them off, pursuing them for ten miles. Detachments
had been sent against their territories, and it was anticipated
the loaders would either be captured or destroyed.

THE GALE.—Accounts are pouring in from all quarters
of the damage done by the gale of Tuesday and Wednesday.
The bank of the river from near the Fort to the end of the
Strand, is strewed with wrecks of boats and pinnaces. The
devastation has been considerable on the grounds of the
Commander-in-Chief, and a number of huts have been
thrown down. If the rains continue the Indigo crop will be
materially injured.

A letter from Sylhet states that the Rajah of Cachar was
murdered on the 24th of April, in consequence of which a

doubt was felt that Gumbersing, Rajah of Merupoor was
the instigator. The murder was rerpetratad by the Cachar's
own sepoys.

A letter has been received at Calcutta, by Cie late arri-
vals, which mentions that orders have been despatched by
the Court of Directors to this Government, not to rescind
the order of the half batta, but to give the troops an equi-
valent. This letter is from a gentleman connected with the
India House, and whose information is derived, there is rea-
son to believe, from the Directors themselves.

Notwithstanding the strict law of the Government against
Suttees, a woman has lately burnt herself. A certain gen-
tleman, a seeder by casts, who resided at Chibotu, in Patna,
died, about 32 years of age. His wife, a girl of about 19,
attended him, and when the body was being burnt, she leaped
upon the funeral pile, and consumed herself. The Daroga
having been acquainted with it, caused those present at the
spectacle to be seised and sent to Patna, where they remain
in confinement.

CITY, HALF.P4ST TWELVE.

Yesterday there was a little panic in the Funds, but
this morning there is a great one, and all the speculators
and jobbers are on the alert to ascertain the cause.
The Stock Exchange was in a very great bustle at the
opening of the Market. Consols which left off yesterday at
851 to 1 for the Account, opened at 851; but immediately
after an alarm took place, and the whole house were sellers.
When Consols fell from 851 to B.lf for the Account.
Report says, that a Property Tax will be brought for-
ward, when the House opens ; and that it is in contem-
plation to call out the militia, as great fear is entertained
that the troops are not staunch in Ireland, and we have but
few troops to spare to send to that quarter.

At present we do not hear of any express having arrived
from Paris. The Dutch and Ostend steamers are expected;
but it will be late in the afternoon before they arrive.
Consols are at present 841 e, and for money 80.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The groat panic which prevailed this morning in the
Funds, has a little subsided ; but still there appears a great
heaviness in the Market, although they got up from 8.11 to
84i for tho Account : at present they are 84d We do
not hear of any further reports than those we communicated
at 12 o'clock.

Nothing doing in Foreign Stock.
In the Foreign Market, little or nothing doing as yet ;
the whole attention is turned towards the Consol Market.

LI V Elt rum., Oc•t. 18.—The demand for British Plan-
tation Sugar continues rather dull, the sales of the week
being 750 hhds. chiefly brown and middling qualities, at a
reduction of Is. per cwt. The sales of Jamaica coffee
yesterday went off with spirit. Cotton still continues dull.
There is very little of pine timber now landing, and the de-
mand for the country this week has been slender.
CouN Excnauo E (Tins v.)—Nothing is doing in
the market of moment. Wheat is nominally as on last
market-day. In Barley we can give no alteration, as regards
price. Oats aro heavy, and other grain unaltered.
A lh'brew morchint in the City, within a few days died
suddenly ; it being suspected by one of his creditors that he
was not dead, but absconded, he laid an information at the
Coroner':•. Orders were immediately given to hare the de-
ceased ;lug up, which took place yesterday; and the corpse
was taken to Whitechapel workhouse, for the inspection of
and Inquest, which sat this day.

CITY, 11ALF-PAST TWO.

A renewal of the panic has just taken place in the Consol
Market, and all parties have rushed forward to sell. It is
difficult, in fact, to catch any real price, so rapid is the
fluctuation, and the Bulls are in the highest state of
alarm. Consuls have again fallen from the transizat
re-action price to 831. Exchequer Ms and India Bonds
partake of the alarm, and the reduced quotations we give,
of 40 for the former and 38 for the latter, must be con-
sidered as entirely nominal. In fact, the Bull
party have pawned stock to such an extent, to
raise the necessary funds for keeping up the high
figure stocks have borne, and have taken it in to such an
amount, that it is impossible to say bow much may be thrown
upon the market now that the pawners have taken the alarm,
and demand, as it is said they do, its immediate redemption.
The agitation of the Foreign Market is extreme, and a
considerable additional depreciation has taken place. Rus-
sian Bonds have fallen to 94i, Danish to 601, and Brazilian
to 608, with a general tendency to a further decline.—
Indeed, no sales of these could be attempted without causing
still more alarming sac:ifices. Even Spanish Stock, which
already low, and huoyed up by the favourable proguoetics
of the period, may be supposed less liable to be affected, is
a shade lower than at our former report. 24 is
given as the figure it at present bears.
The Share Market, as a matter of course, is nearly de-
serted, and there speculations a drug. The Market alto-
gether exhibits an appearance of the greatest alarm, and
every moment a fulaher fall is looked for.
Juerrea AGAIN IN Disoetse.—On Thursday last, a
my extraordinary circumstance took place at lioanne. Tho
imperial of a diligence, loaded with several millions of the
gold from Algiers, suddenly broke into the carriage and
overwhelmed the passengers, some of whom were seriously
hurt ; amongst the number, a young lady.
Tun DUKE OF RAGUSA AND CUARLES X.—On
Wednesday, 28th of July, the Duke of Ragusa understood
fully all the importance of the revolutionary movement.—
Every moment couriers succeeded each other front St. Cloud
to Paris, and from Paris to St. Cloud. Charles X. still
more obstinate than ever, answered, " Do not trouble your-
self ; nothing will happen. Another quarter of an hour, and
all will be finished." " Bet, Sire,"—" Go away! it is a repe-
tition of what happened in the Rue St Denis. However, see
M. do Pulignac." This last was at the Tuilleries ; his ob-
stivacy was not less than that of his master. It was at this
moment that a man, whose upright conduct had made him
retire of late from the Tuillcries, went to see the Duke of
Ragusa, and propose to him an energetic step. At each
cannon shot, the Marshal appealed to feel a deep pain. His
hand nervously agitated, his face contorted, and while tra-
versing the chamber with unequal step, frequentiv
" Great GOD ! what a situation. ' . . . . "
then, get out of it !" resumed the old man, whom lye will not
name. . . . . "By what means ?" " See the means.
The Ministry are still at the Tuilleries ; take upon yourself
to stop the effusion of blood, and seize the Ministers. They
may be shut up—put in chains if necessary. Say but the
word and I will answer for it." The Marshal appeared to listen
to the advice ; but soon his brow blackened, and his agita-
tion increased. " Well then, make up your mind !" said the
old man. " But this coat !" exclaimed the Marshal—" 1814
is on this coat," and at the same time he struck the em-
broidery. " Yes," said his interiocutor with strong emo-
tion. " Yes—there is dirt upon your coat, but you will not
wash it out by steeping it in blood." At this moment an
order arrived from St. Cloud to prescribe to the Marshal to
hold out to the last ! The Marshal was completely out of
his senses. Fatality was the strongest. These details
reached us from the most certain source. We cannot doubt
their autnenticity.—Journal de Paris.
The Moniker contains a report to the King from the Mi-1
nister of the Interior, whereby, after noticing that names,
whose influence had ceased, and some of which had become
hostile to the country, had, during the last two reigns, been
given to certain canals, and that by this species of flattery
their primitive denominations, which had at least the merit
of being appropriate, since they were taken from the rivers
united by the canals, or from the countries through which
they passed, had disappeared, the report recommends to his
Majesty to restore to the canal lately called Monsieur the
name Du Rhone au Rhin, that of Du Dnc d'Angouknte the
name of LaSourese, that of Du Duc de Bordeaux, La Vetere
et du la College, and that of Maria Therese, St. Maur.
The canal Du ,duc de Berry, which, from its extensive ad-
ditional branches, could not well receive its first denomina-
tion of Leaser, ie to be called the canal Ds Berry. The
report has bash approved by the King.

The following is a letter from Antwcrp given in the C.!romicle. The
writer seems to think that the obstinacy of the King of the Dutch will
an obstacle in the way of ACC-'4;modation:
ANTWERP, Oct. 14, IBM.
la our present eireunist.tmes, tile eyes of all Europe being now di-
rt. ttd to Antwcrp, a few remarks oa political matters may not be unit).
I,resting to you ; and I therefore take up my pea to give you such in.
:station as I can collect. On what I shall state, you may implicitly
ray. . . . . .

First, as to our opinions :—A predominant party through the whole
Belgium says, " Down with Kings--down with the Princes of
Orange ; let us drive them in:o the Fens of Holland. A Republic
far ever !" Another party, the Walloons, who find a market for
their coals and other things in France, show a disposition to unite
Belgium to France. They are less powerful than the Republicans.
Another party. which is gaining ground, is disposed to offer the crown
In me Prise:: of Orange in the same manner as the French offered their
Liman to the Duke of Shlesaut ; that is, with a Constitution francs.' by the
i.ation ; so that the Prince shall govern uccording to the will of the people.
Is the opinion of this party, if the Prince of Orange would give sonic
moats of his confidence in the Belgians; if he would withdraw his
bitaili troops from the Southern Provinces, and place diem on the other
stde of the Moerdyke ; or if he would entirely separate himself from a
Gavernitt_nt, under the influence of which it is not likely that he will
tver he able to arrange the affairs of Belgium, he would not only become
very ',uvular with the Belgians but would be unanimously accepted by
:nett, as their Sfivereign. On the one hand, it is stated that the King
-Id not consent to resign this part of his kingdom ; and on the other,
•:..0 twilling less than this will satisfy the National Congress which is now
..amnioned. What I stn atrsid of is, that the whole of the Southern Provin.
:es would rather throw themselves into the arms of France, than
,itfei ti,cutselves to be contrculeil by the Dutch, either on the water or
the land; or in any 11141illti suffer their commerce to be interrupted
i preps ancient rivals. With these hostile parties and conflicting
• ?inions, I see no probability of our settling our disputes without some
istance. Your cabinet, in particular, must conic forward and use all
influence with the cabinet of the Hague to consider these provinces
caving achieved their independence, and u having a right to choose
;Jr their Sovereign any person whom they think proper. Your ea-
b4l,,, and every other cabinet that has an interest in preserving this
t..!atry as a barrier against France, slinutil come forward and protect it
xousing for itself an independent Government, and in adopting na-
iiisututions of its own. They should protect its independent ex-
so that the Belgians should feel it .heir interest to form them-
't:t;es into a rampart against every foreign invasion. Such a plan seems
orly feasible means of guaranteeing a general and durable peace,
t-,r n.aintaining that balance of powt.r ~1 Europe which has already
a:chased at the expense of ?co centres b:uod.

If the public press of Ragland pteenniest te exceed:, any mfiaetece over
publ.e tinniou and it has coesiderable influence, bath in England seed
here ; and if it. attaches at;v imparnr•ec to pre:serving peace and trz:t
quillity its England, and promonng the good rause of geeeral freedom—
le; it cease to represent the Klieg of the Netherlands as the most ptudent
and honest monarch of the age. and let it cease to speak of the &league
as rebels who have no justification for resietiug his authority. The
Times of the sth inst. I observe, deficit the writer os the letter front
Antwerp of Sept. 28, inserted in the M. Chronicle of the 4th inst. to prove
that The Timis has ever, in any leading article, endeavoured ro tie. 1
predate the character and the cause or the Lit.l4inns. 11 The Ltnee
' have done that. it has, with the Dutch Monarch and his Cueerellors,
beer, an instrument to thwart. the political views of England. I may evy
if it had done that, it has been instrumental in bringing on our own pc-
sent afflictions ; for without some encouragement and some misleading.
the King of the Netherhouis would. most probably, have been one or
the most popular Kings of the day, and would here promoted the mos.
perity of all his people. The writerof Met letter seldom seeds The Times,
and is not anxious to hunt through its files, and. therefore, I shall c n line
myself to a few remarks on the leading article of September 4- In that
The Times says...." It must be allowed that, perhaps, no Monarch had
ever a more difficult part to play in managing the different sections of
his kingdom than the present worthv and enlightened Sovereign of the
Netherlands." Being a Protestant -King and a Dutchman, that jus-
tifies his appointing all the officers of the government from among those
whom be knows best—the Dutch—and justifies him in making an at.
tem:st to overthrow the religion of his southern subjede in the most ty-
rannical manner. Accordingly, this is called by The Times '• an at.
tempt to repress the bigotry of the Catholic Priesthood, and spread
knowledge among the people subjected to their fanatical influence." It
not only justifies a partial system of taxes, of legislation, of admi-
nistration, and of trade—it
.goes further, and countenance, the
King's attempt to abolish the trial by Jury, " because his Dutch sub-
jects being a quiet, busy people, and not willing to go from their
terror their shops, to waste their time in deciding on matters its which
they have no personal interest, tied in which the proper authority de-
cides very well without them ;' and all this is said, notwithstanding
the Belgians, who, finding a protection for their liberal opinions in the
Trial by Jury, loudly protested against the abolition of that speciesoltrial
by a Royal t trdinance in 1015. The same leading article allows " that
every liberal measure (if ever there was any such) .was carried by the Bel-
gic majority, with a tew Dutch members to turn the scale; and, on the
contrary, that every liberal Bill which was lost was thrown
' out by a Dutch majority, with the aid of a similar detachment of Bel-
' gins." The Times does not say that almost every Bill which op.
pressed the Belgians was carried by the Influence of the Government, and
i every measure to relieve them was lost by? similar influence—and such
' rueaeures ate always likely to be lost when the number of votes is pretty
nearly equal on both side:—and the Government is naturally in fa.
your of one party. The Times did not make the slightest observe-
! tion on the injustice of giving four millions of inhabitants no more
votes than two millions:. It says that it pronounces no opinion of its
own on the quality of these measures ; and even respecting the abolition
!of the Trial by Jury, it expresses no disapprobation. Suppose
! 11am IV. were to abolish jury trial in England because the shop-
keepers (who, by the bye, in Holland, were never consulted oil'
the subject) of one or two mottles should not like the trouble of
attending the Court, while the other counties and the great majority
of the English nation should loudly proclaim their unwillingness to
have jury trial abolished ; and suppose the Times to notice this,
and make no other remark than such as testified its approbation,
calling the author of the abolition " worthy," &u how would that
have been received by English feelings ; or how would that—to use
a vulgar phrase—go down with its readers? I have neither apace
nor time to make further remarks on the leading articles of the
Timcs—or, more correctly speaking, its mockeries of the sense and
feelings of its readers. If it should again defy the writer from Ant-
werp, I have yet something to say on the leading article of Sep-
tember 4, and when that hse been said, I will have recourse to its
files to sec what remains.
