FLANDERS MAIL-THIS DAY.

It is affirmed that the Cabinets of Prussia, Russia, and
Austria, are firmly resolved to secure to Holland the pos-
session of those portions of territory, which are assigned to
it by the protocols. We hear of a 40th Protocol, in which
the Conference summonses the Belgians to adhere to the
conditions of separation which were previously resolved upon.
The organisation of the army is prosecuted with
the greatest activity. The cavalry and Infantry see eon•
tinually exercised : two new regiments will be added to the
twelve, of what the infantry is now composed. The artil-
lery will be pieced on a much more respectable footing than
at the time of the Dutch invasion.
The inhabitants of the frontiers of Zealand are in the
greatest alarm every day, they expect a surprise, the only
object of which can be, to secure the possession of Ghent,
even before the renewal of hostilities.

VIZWIIA, SZPT. 9.—The Magistrates have received or.
ders not to deliver any more passports, with certificates of
health ; this proves that the cholera is considered as hating
already manifested itself here. Yesterday a surgeon died in
three hours and a half, and it is said with indubitable symp.
toms of cholera.

In Presburg, fifteen persons on an avearage are daily
carried off the disorder, without di►tinction of rich and poor.

From Warsaw, we are still without those full
details which public sensibility demands ; but we
have gleaned from the Paris Journals such addi-
tional facts as appear to have transpired
in that city. The Berlin Papers appear to
preserve a sullen silence, and the German Journals
greatly to their credit are for the present panic-
struck. Poles in London, with whom we have had
intercourse, are nevertheless sanguine that their
countrymen will not lay down their arms, till they
have succeeded in expelling the Russians.

Our private letter, and our various extracts from
the Paris Papers, indicate the continuance of an
excitement in that city, which will not be
speedily allayed. Blood has, it seems, been shed ;
and apparently ivithout sufficient reason. We
all remember that the revolution of 1789 was
occasioned by a horse-soldier wounding an old
man in the gardens of the Tuilleries ; and the late
revolution was provoked by some small incident of
like kind. It is not therefore to be supposed, that
the killing and wounding of 100 persons, to protect
in office two or three obnoxious Ministers, will
be speedily forgiven, by the sensitive Paris popu-
lace. The seising of certain journals, and the
tenacity of the Government in resisting the popu-
lar wishes, can scarcely fail to produce some strik-
ing catastrophe.

At length the House of Commons has finished
its arduous and important labour of PASSING THE
REFORM BILL. In an assemblage last night, of
581 Members, the House suffered under a discus-
sion kept up till past 5 o'clock this morning, when
on a division there appeared 345 for the Bill, and 236
against it—the majority being ONE HUNDRED
AND NINE. This was the third night of de-
bate on the final question that " the Bill do pass;"
and its opponents, by speaking against time, evi-
dently intended to render another adjournment
necessary; but ministers chose to baffle them,
and to continue the sitting, till the House
would endure no speaker after Lord John Russell.
Alderman Wood essayed to make some explana-
nations about the Common Hall ; but his efforts
were rendered nugatory, by the overwhelming cry
of question, divide, &c. Mr. Hunt also wished to
be heard ; but in spite of his stentorian voice,
few of his observations could be discriminated.
After the division was announced, it was followed
by long and tumultuous cheering, which we are
persuaded will be echoed through the nation.
The impression has prevailed through the morn-
ing, that this triumph will be celebrated in Lon-
don by a general illumination ; but at the time
of our going to press. we have not heard of any
preparations, and probably, further demonstrations
of public satisfaction will be deferred, till after the
Bill has been passed into a law.
At this stage of this great measure of NA-
TIONAL REGENERATION, we feel ourselves
called upon to express our unequivocal gra-
titude to the authors and supporters of the
bill, for the firmness, ability, and perseverance
by which they have been enabled to triumph over
every obstacle. Even last night, it will be
seen, that the interested, misled, and corrupt fac-
tion mustered no less than two hundred and
thirty-six votes, consisting 'of persons hacknied
in debate, and Parliamentary juggling. To
resist all their measures, and keep together a pha-
lanx sufficient to defeat them, even in this last
struggle, was not merely a great merit, but an
EVER-MEMORABLE display of public virtue.
To Lord J. Russell the public are indebted for
bringing in the Bill, and explaining its objtc•s
I with good intelligence ; but to the constitutional
energy, and cool intrepidity of Lord Althorp, the
nation is more particularly indebted for its triumph
in the House of Commons. We ought not, at the
same time, to forget the able, legal illustrations
of the Attorney-General; and perhaps to the in-
tellectual ability and personal equanimity, of
the three, may be ascribed that subjugation of
all those passions, which otherwise endan-
gered the progress of the measure. No doubt,
the names of all the persons who, by their inde-
fatigable attendance gave strength to these lead-
ers, will be suitably transmitted to posterity ; and
while they enjoy the high satisfaction of hav-
ing thus done their duty to their country, their
families, through all time, will have rea•un
to consider their alliance as an honourable di'tinc-
tion. When the power of the faction which has
been defeated, and the evidence of it will never
