The political intelligence is highly interesting.
The rumour of an nsurrection in ST. Petersburg
is. probably, without foundation; but there is no
question OF the Authenticity of the accounts from
Brussels, which in effect declare that city in
state Of Siege BY Prince Frederick.
The following summary of the intelligence of
the week, is from a London paper OF Saturday,
September 25th.
The popular agitation which began at Paris in
the month of July, seems fast extending itsetf.-
We have news this week that it has been felt NJ
Copenhagen aud Vienna, as well as at Brunswick,
Cassel, and Dresdent. The spirit of tumult has
even reached st. Petersbur9h, and has disordered
the ranks of the Autocrats army. There has been
a setii,ion. it is said, among the Guards Of the
Emperor of Russia. Whether this be true or
not. there can be no doubt. as the knowledge OF
the events which have occurred at Paris is spread
through Europe-that the people will be made
sensible Of their own power, and will. most pro-
badly, be inclined to use II. Norris there. as far
as we can see. any means of resisting them.-
The bulk of the soldiery in every state Europe
is taken from the people, and shares their senti-
ments and feelings. The emperor of Austria, in
deed, reigning over different nations, may send
German soldiers into Italy, and Italians into Ger
many, but the great majority of the soyereigns
of Enrope have no such hostile subjects to pit
against one another, and they must resign them
selves to obey the will of their people. Besides,
ON loohiug back at the history of Europe, we do
not perceive that its armies have generally been
employed in keeping their countrymen III Obedi-
ence. They have sometimes formed the police
of towns, but they have generally been destined
for foreign war. The people have not hitherto
needed constraint. to make them obcdient-they
have looked on their rulers as their benelactors.
and have humbly followed their bchests from
choice. If they ba,e altered their opinions, if
u
tempt has tax EN- the place of veneration, and If
such change be general as the events o! the last
two months seem to imply, we NAV look forward
to more extensive changes; for wherever the sol
diers are taken from the ranks OF the people.
there the Sovereign can possess no means OF con
trolling the public will.

REPORTED lNSURkECTiON IN RUSSIA.
The account of military insurrection at ST.
Petersburyh has been spread on the Faith of let
tor from Frankfort. of the 18th inst but no date
j. u;yen of this extraordinary event. which, II
tonnded. cannot have taken place till subsequent
to the 1th September, the date of the last letters
received at PafiS.
THE insurrestion is said to have broken out a.
monust the regiments of the Imperial Guard.
,yb,ch had recently returned from the war of Tur-
Lev. and in consequence of a discomfort which
manifested itself amongst them, respecting the
refusal of the rewards that had been promised
10 them. 1t is added that 0.00O men had been
killed or wounded during this insurrectlon-a
number which evidently bears the mark OF exag-
geration: but nothing is said OF ITS political Ell
fects, or of the person of the Emperor.
This account is probably forged one. How
ever, it is to be remarked, nevertheless, that at
the time of the instruction breaking out, after
the death of the Emperor Alexander, the first no.
tice of that communication arrived by way of
Frankfort, and with great CELEBRITY
THE NETHERLANDS.-In Belgium, af-
fairs seem to have taken 4 scriuus turn towards
tragic conclusion. In the sitting of the States
General, it was resolved that the demands of the
Belgians should not be listened to until the au-
thority of the King was re-estabished. The de-
puties from Belgium thereupon returned home, &
great agitation followed. The Kings troops re-
