Carlsbad. Many others, however,• have expiessed
their indignation of this proceeding, and have pub-

BRUSSELS, SEPT. Is.

The Countess de Montholon is expected here shortly
with her children, on her return to France. Her
husband would not quit Bonaparte. The state of
affairs at St. Helena is still the same: a very strict
watch is kept both by land and sea. The health of
Bonaparte is not in so unfavourable a situation as
some perionr have attempted to represent it, and his
chief occupation consists in composing Memoirs, in
which he is assisted both by General Bertrand and
Count Montholon. It is affirmed that these Memoirs
are very voluminous, and that several copies of them
are made, by way of precaution, that they may not
be lost.

We are informed, that the reasons which induced
the PRINCESS of WALES to think of returning to this
Country, had no relation to the suit in Chaeceryl
respecting the doubtful Bond of her brother, the late
Duke of Bauriswrox, but ins in conseqoence ofee*
tain legal investigations which are said io hal/oboes
gone into in Italy. Some, allege, that her promised
return has had the effect of suipendingthe -proceed-
ings, and that the familrexcursion of &certain Rigbt
Honourable Gentleman to the Continent, is connected
with this delicate subject.

DUKE OF CLARENCE::

DUNKIRK, SEPTIIMBIR 10.--The Royal Sovereign
yacht arrived this day in our harbour. This superb
vessel has come to receive on board the Duke of
CIARRNCR, brother of the Patties Reoswr of Eng-
land, who arrived here two days since. His Royal
Highness comes from Hanover, and is accompanied
by the Princess, his consort. The Royal Sovereign
was a short time since at Calais awaiting these illus-
trious travellers but the Princess, whose pregnancy is
far advanced, being indisposed, their Royal High-
nesses preferred embarking here, for the purpose of
proceeding directly to the Thames. The Prince has
hitherto observed the strictest incognito. He goes
about alone and on foot. He travels under the name
of the Earl of MuNsrza.—French Paper.

'ZXTRACT FROM A PRIVATE LETTER.
" Thursday Evening.
" The Military are still with us, and to their pre-
sence, more than to any thing else, may we attribute
,the state of tranquillity which we again enjoy. The
bad spirit displayed by the people is far from being
subdued. For a long time it has been only wanting
a plausible opportunity of giving itself vent ; and it
is much to be regretted that it should owe that op-
portunity to any questionable act of power on the
part of the Magistracy.
" You know what an opinionative, pertinacious set
of fellows our Scotch Weavers are, and will scarcely
be surprised when I inform you that it is a question
seriously mooted among them—whether they shall
not bring an action against the PROVOST for the
seizure of the flags, which they persist in maintain-
ing, notwithstanding the Sheriff's Proclamation, was
a most illegal and unjustifiable act? Any effort to
convince them that they are in the wrong, is only
:thrown away ; ene and all are obstinately agreed that
they have been extremely ill used, and &at thoufh
breaking heals and breaking windows are verb,itta
things, that the Magistrates have only brouglaais
themselves and their friends what they destreett, I I
tremble to think what this state of opinion will •
to, worked upon as it daily is, iby.oz-btatly. other
causes—by want of employreent—by-low wages--
and, above all, by incendiary writings, about what
they call their Rights.
" Probably the trials that must soon come on of
those who have been busy in the late scenes, may
serve to cool their *rdour ; and no well-wisher to his
country can desire otherwise than that the law
should take its course promptly— and, if guilt is to
be punished, fearfully. I understand it is the inten-
tion of the Crown Advocates to indict several of the
individuals who are in custody, for the capital of-
fence of remaining riotously assembled, beyond the
time limited, after reading the Riot Act.
4, A precognition has been going on ever since
Monday, and a body of evidence has been collected,
which I doubt not will fully bear out the Public
Prosecutor in adopting such a proceeding, howei,er
lamentable may be its consequences.
" Two of the most prominent offenders are said to
be persons from the country ; one from Kilbarchan,
the other from Linwood. The country people were
certainly the most active in the mischief ; not being
individually known to the Constables or the people
in the town, they seemed to be bolder, from the cer-
taintT of not being recognized, than our own towns-
men could venture to be.

4' The apathy with which some of the more re-
spectable part of our townsfolks have looked on the
late scenes, his been much talked of—and, I need
scarcely add, as much censured. They, too, have got
a good deal tinctured with the disease of reasoning
too much—and, because they think the PROVOST did
unwisely, in the first instance, in vindicating the au-
thority of the laws by seizing the flags, they draw
this most logical conclusion, that it was well in them
to leave the PaovosT single-handed to fight out the
battle of the laws as he best could.

(0 A thousand such lake-warm bye-standers are,
however, not kalf so dangerous as one reputable
madman, openly siding with such a mob. A person of
this description, who shall, for the present, be name-
less,
made himself very conspicuous during the riot,
and, I am convinced, contributed not a little to en.
flame the popular fury. He actually served out
glasses of whiskey to the rioters, and spirited them on
by language which nothing but madness could ac-
count for. It would be well that, such political mad
dogs as this were chained up, or Muzzled, in times
like the present.
4, A Meeting of the Deputy-Lieinenants of the
County was held here on Tuesday forenoon, when
they came to the following Resolution

" Resolved, That the Lieutenancy approve of the active mea-
sures taken by the Sheriff of the County and Magistrates of
Paisley, to put a mop to the outrageous proceedings of the mob,
which have occurred here since Saturday last ; and they ogler
their thanks to them for their activity in suppressing the tumults,
and for their temperate conduct in preventing the effusion of
blood. The Lieutenancy also request, in a particular tisane/se,
the Special Constables of Paisley and the Abbey Parish, who
acted no the occasion, to accept their thanks foe their activity
and good behaviour in aid of the Sheriff and Magistrates.
µ The Lieutenancy beg leave to give their thanks to Major
gbagdon, and the Officen, Non-cosunissioned Officers, and
Tsittates of the two Companies of the POth Regiment, and to
1411111otant Hodgson, and the ,Nen-commissloned Officers and
vit the detachment of the 10th Hussars, for their excellent
imodoet on the maxim of the disturbances that have otcutted."

Odds from these shops ; the Magistrates, Sheriff, and Li
hereby intimate their determined resolution to ernr!o)

and thus publicly give notice, that if, after this warrirE a

or to attack property, public or private, by throwing c
brick-bats, or other weapons, the Military will receive oriel

in Great: Hamilton-street, Calton, by Provost St
VERSON.

On Monday night, shortly after the patty
assembled in the Green, denominating therm

Radicals, they broke off in two columns, one ti. 4
the east, the other the west. The eastern wing,
leaving the Green, immediately commenced their 4e.
predations on the first shop in Great Hamilton-sets
that lay in their way, and after breaking lamps. *
tempting to force shop-windows, Sze. they at lag
came to the shop of Mr. H. REID, Troffer, near Bd.
row-field Toll, which the villains, about nine o'clock
entered. The family fled, seeing the mub armee,
srilk
bludgeons, stakes, &c. and left the shop to the
who carried off ten small casks, containing :bout
gallons of spirits, besides many other ankles. Abel
30 of the villains were seen, in an entry, about ?),
yards from the shop, sitting round one of the rash
and drinking the spirits. In breaking into the sbli
the gas pipe was broken, which left the shop in e;te
darkness, and made the destruction the ~,re.ster,
which was the more lamentable, as awe of the
lains could be recognized.
Thursday night a Weaver's shop or eight I°rrb
was broken into in Monereiff-street,
four of the looms stripped of the cloth. The"?
vers had been working till a late hoar in order to,
finish their cloth so as to get money next day to pal
