 Bristol, one of the chief commercial towns of England, was, it seems, the scene of drrad- ful riots on Saturday night and Sunday, a9th and SOth of October: in the course of which the Mansion House, Custom House. Excise Office, four TOll-hOuses, three Prisons, the Bishop of Gloucester's Palace, and 42 priS ate dwellings, were sacked and burnt. The mob had complete possession of the city; and the military, when they did appear, were in such small numbers, and acted 80 inefficiently, as rather to aggravate than allay the mischief; four or five lives were lost, and about fifty persons were wounded independently of those of the incendarics who, from intOxication, were unable to escape the flames they them- 1 selves had kindled. At the last dates order was said tO be restored.
 This spiIit of misrule does not seem to have spread, the Kings proclamation only enume- 1 rating Derby and Nottingham ihe riots at ! which places we heard of by the previous ur- rival) and Bristol

 "One chamber of the Belgian Legislature has accepted the terms laid down by the Con- ference in London; there was no doubt that the Senate would accede to them. The Kirr of Holland having hesitated on his part, Bri- l tish fleet had been ordered to the Dutch coast, but timely concessions rendered hostile ops- ratiOns by them unnecessary Y s*H $'4

 From the London Times, Nou 3. .. Our readers will be gratified to learn that by accounts which left Bristol at I o'clock yesterday. all symptoms of disturbances were at end ; and from the number of troops which had poured into the city, as well as from the preparations made by all classes of men of property, who had begun to associate for ths maintenance of public order, there was not the slightest chance that the tranquility thus restored would undergo further interruption.
 From Galignants Messenger.
 The following is an extract of letter from Napoli, dated the 9th inst. giving detail of the circumstances attending the death of Count Capo d'lstrias :-'Ths morning, as tlle President was going, according to custom, to attend the service at the Church, two men who were at the door assassinated him. one hrlng pistol at his head, and the other stab bng him in the body with Turkish dagger. He fell dead upon the spot. The assassins were Constantine and George Mavromichalis, the brother and son of Petro Boy, who has been Tn prison since the month of January I last. Constantine was immediately killed by the Presidents Guards, but George escaped, and took refuge in the house of the French Consul, who received him without being a. ware or inc crime he had committed. O. 'earnlng what had happened, the Consul refu- sed to give him up to the fury of the popu lace, but engaged to deliver him into the nands of the Msgistracy, as soon as regular demaEd was made. The Senate immediately assembled ny virtue ofthe powers with which u 's invested Dy the Congress, at Argos, and IS at this moment employed in appon,ing Committee, to carry on the Government tin the meeting of the National Assembly. which Will be immediately cOnvoked. The town remains quiet, and the commanders of the troops have taken all necessary measures for preventing disorder. The French and English commanders have also adopted every means lor ensurng the safety of the agents and citi- zens or their respective countries"
 % POLISH ARMY. BORDER OF THE DAY. Head Quarters, Oct 4. 1.-The decisive moment has arrived. The enemy has proposed to us humiIia,ing condi. t'ons' contrary to the national dignity. It on- " remains for US to save our honor by reject 'ng them-to pass the frontier into the states of his Majesty the King of Prussia, and there to seek an aslyum. In our present situation. prolonged struggle would only draw down great calanities on Poland. We lay down the arms W hich we took up in the sacred cause ofthc independence and the integrity of our native land, protesting against the violations ana the abuses of which we are the victims, until Europe.under whose protection we place ourselves, does pronounce defnitively on our ana our country's fate. If. then, our prayers are not heard-if justice is refused us-if the Monarchs reject us. the Almighty will be our avenger. and the stone which closes the sep ulchre of Poland will entomb the indcpen- dence ofthe nations who are indifferent 10 our misfortunes. Our blood, shed in numerous battles, the perseverance, and patriotism of which we have given examples, will be the subject of admiration and imitation for histo- ry and postcrity.
 Soldiers :--Let us go where duty calls. We will sacrifice every thing except our glo- ry. of which no force can ever deprive us: and we will await death with tranquility, and with that pure conscience which follows the conviction of having r1sservoA xvall oe o,u
