sign the order for the whole power of
the artillery to be directed against
Brussels, by which so many lives would
be lost and SO much property destroy
ed: seeing, however, that such mea-
sure was indispensable. it is said he
had overcome bis scruples, and that be-
fore the advices left Antwerp, the artil-
lery with a large body of troops, were
leaving the place on their way to Brus-
sells, to re-commence the attack. An
other account from Antwerp, written in
great haste, RS the mail was about to
be sent off. says, that the military there
had refused to act against the Bruxel-
lois.
Some OF the accounts estimate the
whole number Of killed and wounded
in the tamult at Brussels at upwards Of
1000. They concur in rep,o senting
the Dutch troops as guilty ofthe great
est excuses. Among other instances,
it is stated that after killing an English
woman they bore her infant on bayo-
net through their ranks.
At Liege, theIpopulacs are complete
masters. The Governor, Mr.. Sand
berg, had fed, and a Provincial com
mission had been appointed for the
maintenance Of order.
At Malines, attempts have been
madetto excite the people To revolt,
and to disarm the troops, who kept un-
der arms day and night. Great riots
had taken place at Tirlemart, and the
Burgomaster, it was reported, had been
murdered.
In Brussels even women and children
assisted the people, the former 5y
throwing stones, the latter by cutting
the girths ofthe cavalry.
STILL LATER. The B oston pa
pers contain London dates to the 9th
OF October, and Liverpool of the 9th,
brought to that port by the ship Per-
feet, which sailed on the 10th.
The general complexion of affairs in
France was becoming more favorable.
The Pope had acknowledged the new
government, and it was confidently be-
lieved that in very short time every
government in Europe would have min
listers accredited to the court Of Louis
Philippe. Prussia is represented to
have gone further than a mere ac-
acknowledgement, and to have approved
OF the principle of non-intervention i'm
the affairs Of other nations, STIMULATING
at the same time, not to interfere her
self in the affairs of the Netherlands.
Ii this be true il accounts at once for
another part OF the news by this arri-
val. to wlt-That the King Of the Me-
therlands has appointed commission
to prepare the project of law for the
separation of the two Kingdoms upon
terms OF amicable accommodation.
The next question that arises is,
whether the Belgians will submit to
these proposals? We think not, the
insurgents having become so iormida-
BILE as to declare themselves indepen-
dent, and hence they are in no mood
to listen to any terms but of an ahso-
lutte recognition of their independence,
without acknowledging mere nomi-
nal iealty to the King.
The Courier Francois contradicts ON
the authority, as i. declares, of per.
sons best acquainted with the inten-
tons Of the Cabinets Of the European
powers, the assertion that general war
in Europe is likely in any event to fol-
low from the late revolt in Belgium
The hostile dispositions of Prussia are
denied, and the mission of NJ. Hum
boldt, a naturalized Frenchman by his
writings, is considered as pledge Of
the friendly intentions of that power.
One of the French journals affirmsthat
Prussia 'has recognized in the most
frank manner the existing French GO
yernment, and has declared her inten-
ton TO interfere neither in the internal
affairs OF France nor those of the Ne.
therlands." Ministers from Prussia.
Bavaria, and SAKE Weimer, were pre-.
sented TO the king of the French on
the 9th of October On the same day
the French minister Of foreign affairs
stated in the Chamber of Deputies,
that Louis Philippe had been cheerful
~ recognised by Europe, that the diff
ierent cabinets are preserving peace,
and that Notwithstanding the disturb
ances in Belgium peace might be main
tanned by the principle Of non interfe-
renee. The Terceira Regency has ac-
know!edged the French king. Eight
days hence, says the Journal dos De-
bats OF Oct. 9Th, every crowned head
VIII have an ambassador at the Court Of
the Prince who has saved the royalty Of
France from utter destruction"
Private accounts from Brussels say,
" we are more troubled with ending
our revolution than we were with re-
puislng the enemy. About 30 900 vo-
iunteers from the neighboring provin-
