paper of the 9th Nov. says: 1.-The state OF
the country is one of great and danger
Gus excitement. This cannot be doubt
ed; it has been proclaimed in characters
of FIRE and blood at Bristol, at Derby, and
at Nottingham; and how soon we may
have repetition of such scenes, Is beyond
the power of mar to determine" The
Times, of 9Th, mentions eight recent tres,
occasiened by incendiaries. The damage
done was not great. There had been some
disturbances at Worcester. The troops

Just that the price should be restored to

for the delay in the acceptation of the Ia

English squadron to enter the Schedt.
We have received the Dutch papers to
Friday, and private accounts from the
Hague up to The morning OF that day
The King of Holland had not yet made
known his decision respecting the twenty
four articles of the London treaty. Nor
was it yet possible to form any thing like a
conjecture as to the course he intended to
adopt. Some Of the writer's of private let
tiers from Holland indeed state that the
King would accept at last, but that he only
appeared to hesitate in order to make his
Dutch subjects believe that an imperious
necessity alone compelled him TO yield for
there are st:pulHtions in the treaty, which
the Dutch do not all relish, Snd wish their
King to oppose himself 10.
The PoLEs. The London Times refer
ring to the Address of the Polish Refugees
to their iellow countrymen, says; " Be-
tween 10000 and 10000 of the best citizens
Of Poland are now in foreign lands. They
have the example of the Polish Legion
before them, and intend. like it, to become,
nation without country. till happier
| times restore them to the banks of the Wis
tula and the possessions of their ancestors.
The Poles have neither ships of their own
country to carry them, nor colonies on
which to retire; but they will find the
means of transport across the Atlantic from
strangers, and may carry their household
goods to land of freedom where, among
the people who gave an asylum to Koscius-
ko, they may wait for the result of Euro
peaE revolutions, and the return of more
propti0us days for liberty.
Many Of the Polish refugees had re he'd

National Committee, in order, to watch
!. over the interests of Poland. The Polish
Committee, organized many months since
under the Presidency of Gen. Lafayette,
still persevere in their exSrtons on behalf
Of the brave defenders of an unhappy coun-
try. They have sent agents TO the frontiers
for the purpose Of administering relief to
the refugees as they arrive, and enabling
those who wish to proceed to the capital, to
travel thither. The citizens of the United
States, residing at Paris, organized CO.
operating Committee on the 4th November,
with the same objects, and have already
raised fund for that purpose, amounting tc
no less sum than $4,000 francsE ,6O0.)
This Committee, of which the President is
MI. Law, and the Secretary, Fenimore
Cooper, have added to their number a dig

PORTUGAL. Intelligence to the 23d Oct.
has been received from Lisbon, at which
the utmost alarm prevailed there through
all the government departments, from the
apprehension of visit from Don Pedro at
the head of formidable armament, to ,e-
dress the wrongs of his llustrieus daugh-
ter, the Queen of Portugal, whose throne
has been so perftiously usnrped. All
kinds of preparations were making for de-

besieged; but the most remarkable effect
produced upon the tyrant and his satellites
from the fear of invasion, is, that he has
