TEZMAGE....-ZYPOSITION OF MOTIV/A.

The President of the Council ascended the tri-
bune, and addressed the Chamber. He began by
reminding the Chamber that he was discharging
an appointed duty by submitting to the two bodies
of the legislature the 23d article of the charter ;
alluded to the long time during which public atten-
tion had been directed to the subject; exhorted
members to divest their minds of prejudices, and
to discharge themselves of all pledges or opinions
adopted before their entering the Chamber, con-
trary to a paramount reason of state, whether such
pledges and opinions might be persona, or the
effect of preferring some particular system. The
advisers of the crown, he said, would offer their
'share of devotion to the public good; or, rather,
they would follow the example set by the great
body of the Chambers. Alter proceeding in the
same style of admonition for some time, be said :
Gentlemen, these observations were indispensable for as
above all, because we have it at bean to demonstrate that we
are ever willing to give a faithful esplanade:: of our mea-
sure:, when any would venture to allege against them that
they are ought but concessions to the interests of the coun-
try. The Itld article of the charter is cooceived in these
terms :

' The nomination of the pens of France belongs to theldsg.
' He has the power to vary the dignities—loonier them
fnr life, oe to reader them hereditary.'

CHOLERA MORBVS. - According to accounts
from Berlin, it appears that the cholera threatens
that city ; and most energetic measures for its
prevention have been adopted by the Government,
some of which have already been put into execu-
tion. Sixteen hundred families, in the most
populous quarter of the city, are immediately
to quit their habitations, and take up their
residence in the part of the commission sanitaire.
The garrison has also received orders to be ready,
to bivouac in the plain of Charlottenburg. The
arsenal and the theatres of exercise are about to be
made into hospitals. The King is gone to Toplitz
to bathe ; his departure has caused some sensation.
This information was brought to Brussels by M.
Behr, Belgian agent at Berlin, on the 22d July.
Li v ERPOOL, JULY 28.—There has been a good
steady demand for cotton this week. The sales
yesterday were 2,500, and to-day 3,000 bags ; but
the demand is freely supported by sellers, without
any perceptible difference in the price. The expec-
tation of the new duty being put on almost imme-
diately, lead some holders to expect rather better
prices.

EXPORT-4710Y OF

The subject of our great exportation of bullion to tin con.
tinent is again beginning to draw attent.en in the ci y. par.
titularly as it is considered that the took in tie c..tottry,
both of gold and silver, is undoubtedly lower th m has been
the case lot a long time past. With rccp:ct to silver, dol-
lars. which are the great commercial trctlibm, have almost
wholly disappeared from the market; nn.l to that in
bars, it is supposed to consist chiefly of that which has
been reduced into that state by the Bank, out of the sur-
plus of the coin in circulation. Of ti:e state of gold we
know nothing, nor ever shall, while the prieent system at
the Bank is suffered to go on. Yet the qinetehy in its
corers cannot be superabundant, or the loss of ruching
the silver coinage—which, as before doyen, is toll twelve
per cent.—would not have been 'mere d ; the main object
of that measure being, as is 'now pretty well Liar-twit, to
save the stock of' gold front being carried out of the cron•ry,
and to keep tp the rates of the foreign each:mete. II hat
renders the ease the more serious is, that with .11 this large
ctportation of bullion, they are barely suns rted to par, a d
have an evident tendency to sink below it. 'J he extent of
that exportation will be better comprehentied when it is
stated, that for the last four months it has seldom fallen short
of 00,0001. weekly. In the present weak, by a calculation
we have seen, made by individuals who have goo.] means of
information on the subject, It has not t ten le:s than
300,0001. It is a matter of very curious speculation among
many persons, what the real cause can be of this continued
drain of the precious metals, which is not sufficiently to fe
accounted for by the state of our commercial transite
Some imagine that the sovereigns of Europe, who (waste. a
, crisis of great difficulty and danger, ere secretly treparini
for it, by providing a supply of that which in such times can
alone avail; others, that the practice of hoarding is for ti
same reason beginning to prevail among individuals; and a
third party, that the large standing armies which hare be' n
formed on the continent have twincipary caused it, by the
large additional circulation required for tier maintenance. •
11 Perhaps the real cause may be a compoord all these. It lift+,
at all events, reached an extent which makes the subjtc: well
worthy of attention, and it is t.rtain, too, that it is a subj. cc
of uneasiness with many reflecting men. Our escape from
the danger depends without doubt on the restoration of tore-
quillity and confidence on the continent.

THEIR MAJESTIES.

WINDSOR, FRIDAY.—The Queen entertained
the Duchess of Gloucester, Cambridge, and Saxe
Weimar, Princess Augusta, and the Laudgravine,
the Marchioness of Westmeath, and several other
distinguished personages with a fete champetre at
Virginia Water on Wednesday, during his Ma-
jesty's visit to town. An elegant collation was
laid out in the centre marquee, which forms the
dining-room, and the band of the Ist Life Guards
were stationed in a boat on the lake opposite to the
marquees. The Royal party remained in this
beautiful retreat till seven o'clock, when they
returned to the Castle. The King arrived shortly
afterwards, escorted from Hounslow by a party of
the Life Guards.

Earl Howe arrived at the Castle yesterday, on a
visit to their Majesties, and left again this morn-
ing for town. The King took a long airing yes-
terday in the green drives of the Great Park,
accompanied by the Princess Augusta. The
Queen's saddle horses were ordered to be in attend-
ance at five o'clock, but the heavy thunder storm
that began about that hour prevented her Majesty
from enjoying her favourite exercise. This day
their Majesties took their usual airings; but the
afternoon being showery, they confined their drives
to the vicinity of the Castle.
To-morrow, after luncheon, their Majesties and
the rest of the Court will leave the Castle for Rose-
bank, near Fulham, to honour with their presence
the fete given there by the Marquis and Marchio-
' ness of Londonderry. From Rosebank there Ma-
jesties go to St. James's Palace. The Landgravine
of Hesse Homberg will not accompany their Ma-
-1 jesties to Rosebank or St. James's Palace, but will
continue to reside at the Castle during their ab-
sence.

ROTHSAT STEAMER.

The Earl of Derby's housekeeper and her family
also perished.
A schooner, belonging to a nephew of Alderman
Wright, was lying off Reaumaris Green; the per-
sons on board heard the bell ring in the Rodney
Castle. 'but in consequence of no light being dis-
played, which the captain refused to allow, they
could not tell in what direction to go.to render as-
sistance. They eventually saved several persons
who had been seven hours in the waist.
Such was the state of anxiety of the poor crea-
tures, who had so long been hanging to the wreck,
that they imagined when taken up at seven o'clock
in the morning, that it was noon. One individual,
rescued by the schooner, had totally boat his sight,
and not being aware of his misfortune, his constant
prayer was that the day might break. He has
since recovered his sight.

boy, who all adhered to a portion of the wreck,
and were deltvered in coneqpience of tearing Miss

sailor, and four others, names unknown.

It is now believed that the Captain was washed
overboard by the violence of the waves breaking
over the deck.

During ,the whole of Thur•thy, a number of
boats were employed in searching for the bodies of
the sufferers, a number of which were picked up,
while others were washed ashore.

With reference to this last awful calamity, the
verdict and letter of the coroner's inquest speak
volumes, and, if true, as an example to all others,
the relatives of the deeeased ought to bring actions
against the proprietory for employing an incom-
petent vessel and two drinking and besotted °dicers ;
and if their bodies are recovered, instead of burial,
they ought to be gibbatted on the coast as an ex-
ample to drunken captains as long as their hones
endure.

It is impossible to reflect, without unspeakable
horror, on all the circumstances, and u far as de-
pends on human precaution and nautical science, it•
is such a catastrophe as never ought to be allowed
to produce similar suffering to what was endure•l
by the unfortunate dead, and such unavailing
afflictions as remain to be borne by their surviving
friends and affectionate relatives.

By reference to the Dutch and Belgian papers
received this morning, our readers will perceive
that the affairs of these countries are far from
being settled. In a report to the KING by the
Prince of OaAttoz, it is stated that General VAN
G sax met an Aide-de-Camp of Marshal GEKA RD,
at Turnhout, accompanied by a Belgic officer, to
whom the Marshal bad given instructions to re-
move any Belgic troops in the neighbourhood, to
a proper distance from the Dutch troops, so as to
prevent all possible collision between them. Mean-
while, it appears, by advice, from Brussels, that
the Dutch still occupy posts in the Belgic terri-
tory, which ought to have been evacuated, in terms
of the convention ; and mention is made, that the
Belgians have received orders from the London
Conference to remain on the defensive.

The American merchants are reported to have
lost property to the amount of one million florins,
in the bombardment of Antwerp; and it seems that
the Representative of the United States has de-
manded indemnification from the King of HoL-
LAND, and threatens to lay an embargo on all
Dutch vessels in the American ports, if his demand
is not complied with.

It is generally imagined that the Poles will en-
deavour to dislodge PA SZEWITCH from Lowics,
before he receives his promised reinforcements, and
many persons expect hourly the results of a general
conflict. We have great confidence in SIC lag-
N &CZ', and if he bring on a battle he will not do
so, except with fair prospects of victory; for the
Fabian system must *assure ultimate victory with-
out the hazard of a battle, except under promising

circumstances. Hitherto we have considered the
advances of the Poles rather as harrasaing.expedi-
dons to annoy the Russians, than to provoke a ge-
neral engagement. The next advice, will doubt-
less be interesting.

If the pending Reform bill were not destined to
give us such an enlarged and respectable consti-
tuency as will render bribery unavailing, then seal
in cases of detected bribery at the two last elec-
tions would be praiseworthy. But to UPS the
sweeping measure before Parliament by puny
questions about Evesham, or Liverpool, or
Dublin, is trilling with the patience of the
public. Thus we have been doomed by ill-timedl
variety to see parliament wasting its precious time
on such trifles, while the reform bill, which in-
cludes these abuses,known and unknown, isileferved
for their useless consideration. It is, however,.,
food for the and-reformers, and beeves deem to
speak against time,' and profess esectity in reglad '1

power, with only the force indispensable for main-
taining order in the interior. The political arrange-
ments respecting the limits and the debt, will also
be regulated according to the tenor of the proto-
cols. The Belgian Government will not delay to
abandon Belgium, and to retire within the fron-
tiers traced by the eighteen articles. A recent pro-
tocol has determined on the meuures adapted to lead
to these results, which are of particular importance
to the tranquillity of France, and will lead imme-
diately to the pacification of Poland. —Brussels

We learn from Brussels that the 'inhabitants of
the town of Philippeville, a frontier fortress of
Belgium, to which it was united in 1814, but which
formerly belonged to France, have applied to the
French Chamber of Deputies, petitioning to be
again united with France. It is affirmed that this
example will be followed by several other towns.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE EXCLUSIVE.

PARIS, Fta. 13.
BUDGET OF WAR AND OF MARINE.
What subjects for reflection does the general budget of
the State present :
The military for the land service absorbs a sum of 400,000,000 fr.
The military for the sea .. 80,000,000
To which must be added military pensions ... 45,000,000
For the Legion of Honour, nearly all attributed to
the military 10,000,000

Total 533,000,000
Here we hate an army still at repose ; but if it should be
called into action, where will be the bounds of the expense ?
Extend the picture to Europe, and we find everywhere the
public revenues absorbed by the military. Europe reckons
more than 2,000,000 of soldiers; the expense of whom
rises above 2,000,000,000 francs, this is 1,000 francs per
man ; it surpasses the produce of the territorial impost of all
Europe ; nearly all the debts of the States of Europe
proceed from war. One may then affirm that war costs
annually to Europe more than 3,000,000,000 francs;
that is to say, that 150,000,000 Europeans labour,
and are condemned to suffer the hardest privations
to maintain very poorly armed masses to crush
and slaughter them, sanguinary instruments of ambition or
bad faith, and for the destruction of the happiness of the
people. This makes the expences of all that state of war,
Ifrom which nothing is redeemed. The triumphal arches
rest upon millions of human bones, and upon the wreck of
millions of fortunes ! There is such an arch raised from the
I sweat and blood of twenty nations. No ameliorations in the fate
of nations can be expected, with expences always increasing;
no skill, no care in the administration, can guard against such
devouring wants. France redeems annually 4,000,000 f.
of debt ; but she contracts 12,000,000. In continuing thus,
one can easily perceive how it will end ; it is worse than the
toil of Penelope. It is true that France sells that which
remains—the fruit of the malappropriations of another
epoch ; thus, acting as prodigals, and the younger branches
of families, the taxes replace the produce of the property sold.
This is not then a disguised impost. lf, to the expenses caused
by maintaining the paid army, is added the active and passive
expenses of the National Guard, we shall find a frightful
result, whether it be by positive expense, or by the loss of
labour, and the dissemination idea of military habits, which
inspire among the citizens the tastes of soldiers who spud,
and cease to gain. Whilst France expends nearly six boa-
dred millions of francs to maintain her military, since throe
years, the resources have been exhausted—calamitous years

to enter Poland; but we are assured at this moment that he
has changed the idea, and made known to Marshal Diehitse h
that until a new order, the army is to remain in its positioni
at Byalistock. It is added that his Majesty, at the same
time, has given to the Marshal the order to make in the
interior of the empire, provisions for three months. It
not, then, until that epoch that hostilities will commeace,
nnless the Poles take upon themselves the initiative. —Ga.

ROUT OF THE ARMY OF THE MEUSE.
The news has reached this city of the total rout
of the Belgian army of the Meuse.
This corps, under the command of Gen. thine,
was attacked by surprise, near Hasse% yesterday
morning, about 11 o'clock, by the Dutch army ;
and after a abort resistance the Belgian cavalry
fled, breaking through the infantry, and scattering
the crowds of Civic Guards. The routed army
fled towards Liege, where they arrived in the ut-
most disorder, and in the streets they bivouacked
last night, crying out, " Treason," and uttering
execrations.

General Daine also escaped to Liege, accompa-
nied by a few officers, leaving his ammunition and
baggage in the hands of the Dutch.
The Dutch have turned their attention towards
Louvain, whither Leopold has removed his head-
quarters. Leopold has fully done his duty. The
army of the Scheldt, under Gen. Tieken de Ter-
ho►e, forms, together with the crowds of the civic
guard,the only obstacle to the attack by the Dutch
on this city. It is, however, feared that be will
Le obliged to-morrow to retreat upon Brussels.
The arrival of the French troops has been re-
quired, in order to prevent the taking of the city.
The Dukes of Orleans and Nemours are ex-
pected here to-morrow night.
Several of the members of the Congress. who
were at Liege, have fled, by way of Namur, to
this city.
