SEPT. 20.——Somc illegal and disorderly acts
having been committed by the people of Brussels,
the committee of Public Safety published a Proc-
lamation disapproving of such proceedings. The
populace disliked the proclamation, and assembled
in a vast crowd about the town hall, where a warm
nltorc.ition took place between them and the com-
mittee, which ended in the sbeddmgof some blood.
On the 21st. taking advantage of these disturb-
auccs, Prince Frederick, the king’s sou, issued a
[ntolamation in the name of his father, de.-nriug the
people to lay down their arms. and granting pardon
to all who complied, excepting the chief promoters
ofthe rcvolt,and threatening punishment to allwlio
held out. ’ He at the same time prepared to enter
Brussels by foice. A letter from Brussels, dated
this day at 4 o'clock, P. M. thus describes the state
ofthings at that moment : _
' For the last hour the'drums have been heating
to arms, and the tocsin sounding. The advanced
post of the royal troops is at our gates, and a smart
fire of musketry has commenced. The disorder is
frightful. The peoplc’s minds are exasperated
Six hundred of the Burgher Guard have been dis-
armed by the populace. Every body are hiding ‘
their valuables. The women and children are lea-
ving the city, which is unpaved and barricadoed.
How will all this end 2"’
The answer to this fearftilly important question
is given in the following narrative from the Lburrier
des ‘Pugs Bus, ofthe 26th, the publication 6f which
had been suspended from the 21st to the 26th, on
account of the cominotion which took place.
BLOODY CONFLICT -AT BRUSSELS.
“On the morning of the 22d, Prince Fredericlt
Iieft Aitvers with his corps d’armce, on his route to
Brussels. About the same time the Brussels Vol-
u,m;i,.~5 set out by the gates of Schaet beck and Loti-
vain to attack the troops which occupied the posi-
tions of Ever and Dieiiem; some others took the
road to Ghent, to encounter the llussars which
were stationed on the heights of Zollick. Affrays
ofthe advanced posts continued during the day. and
the number of killed was very considerable.
In the evening the greater number of the Volun-
meets returned. Every body repaired towards the
_:gates, and labored every where to reinforce the bar-
.ricacioes. A proclamation of Prince Frederick,
published in the Gazette des Pays Bas, was spoken
of, and the entrance of the troops was momentarily
expected. The night, however, passed tranquilly.
Towards eleven o'clock, M. Duepeliatix and ano-
ther person were despatched to the head quarters
of Price Frederick to represent to him fully the ex-
act state oftliings. They could not proceed to the
l’i'ince—they were arrested upon arriving at the
advanced posts and in violation of the quality of
remain in custody. _
" On Thursday. the 23d, about sever. o’clock in the
evcning,a body ofgrenadiers and cliasseurs appear-
ed before the gates of Schacrbeck_and Louvain.—
The Bourgcoise Artillery immediately opened a
fire upon -them, which \\ as returned by the troops:
the discharges continued. and soon the bullets be-
gan to fall in the upper part of the town.
The movements of the troops, however. advan-
ced, and they occupied the lines and walls of the
Botaii'ic Garden, mid opened their fire upon the
People on theBoulivard in front. The staircase of
the Observatory was guarded by Volunteers from
Liege, whose fire covered the external glacis. At
eight o'clock, the gate of Louvain and Schacrbeek
were forced, and the Dutch troops Eltivhllcctl tltvo’
xhenew Rue Royale, the Boulevards, and the Rue
..Lou.vain, towards the Park. A spirited engage-

The most terrible uas tliiit of the Ma'n‘é'g'e, ivliicli
lasted all night. Every tliingwas there consumed.
During the greatest raging of the fire, some soldiers
posted in the houses near the Bibliothequc fired,
it is said. upon the inhabitants who were endeav-
oring to extinguish the flames.
It is even said that the fire was coininuuicated
by shells, as on the previous evening the firing
ceased, and the night was tranquil. On Saturday,
the 25th the combat began anew about 7 o’clock in
the morning. To the taking of the Park all
efforts were then directed. The volunteers made
iepeatcd attacks, and entered many parts ofit. As
from that ofthe Place Royale, the Brabant flag was
bo.rne along the middle of the Park: but it appear-
ed that the confusion with which these different at-
tacks were made, did not for the moment permit
oftheir being followed up with advantage.
The Volunteers were several times obliged to
evacuate the Park, and it is even said that by a fatal
mistake the troops ofcitizens fired upon each other.
However the Dutch troops enclosed in the Park
were dreadfully fatigued, and they lsy down their
positions for rest. Such was the exact state oftliiugs
yesterday evening ; nothing ltas this day chan-
ged it; the troops remained always in the l-‘a~k,
atid at this moment the ti: o of the 'I‘iraillauas cou-
tinues.
A superior officer was taken prisoner on Friday
morning. Another was subsequently takeii—tl_iey
were both sent to the artillery barracks, and from
thence to L’Amign. .
Hospitals have been established in the chapels of
the Madelain and St. Anne, and in many other pub-
lic andpiivate houses. Every where the brave in-
habitants are receiving and sut-coring the wounded.
Rcinforcements have arrived from all the neigh-
boring towns, aiid they coiiibat with great ardor.
and at once, notwithstanding the fatigue of their
previous imftclics. ' _
By an order ofGen \VauIhier, the soldiers em-.
ployed in the citadel of Tournay received double
rations, as in a campaign. On the morning ofthe
2lst the canuoniets, instead of.coiitinuing their
works on the bastious, have abandoned their tools
and departed.

VVe are sorry to announce that troubles have
broken outin a quarter oftlte Netherlands which
was supposed to be warmly attached to theroigiiing

from Ghent it appears that late on the -evening of

different parts of the city, and expressions ofaii in-
flamatory nature u ere loudly uttered. At this par-
ticular inonient a party ofthe military had received
orders to proceed to the office of the Catliolique, a
journal iuimical to the Gov’t, for the purpose of
preventing its further publication. It is stated in

l0S-‘T. ofthe military is not kuowii, as they buried
their slain and took away the wounded.
Butour inforintitioii does_not stop here. The
spirit of insurrection is spreading from Brussels
down to the coast. The latest news was brought.
by the Spitfire steam packet from Osteud, arrived
from Dover, and the French packet from Calais.—
The last accountfrnni Brussels was, that the troops
have been completely beaten in 3 several attacks
upon Brussels, and were even attacked in turn out-
side the walls by the Bourgeoiso. Every account
gives the slaughter as immense, that one of the
Kings Aides-dc-Camp had been killed, and Prince
Frederick wounded in one ofthe affrays. Numbers
of wagons were pressed from all round the country.
to britig out the dead, who were thrown togetherin-
to large holes liastily dug for the purpose. A num-
ber ofhouscs, it is said, were little better than rid-
dles, and heaps of bodies were lying piled up in the
King's Park, for want oftiine to consign them to
the grave.
Bnuss1zLs.‘ Sept. 28.—Amnng the persons who
have fallen victimstothe fury ofthe Dutch soldiers,
we may mention Lord Blantyre, who was killed in
his hotel in the Rue Royale. It was on the 24th
when the citizens made themselves masters of that
hotel, that he met his death. VVe are assured that
"~w-.‘ -
Lord Blantyre was a General Ollicer in the English
service. His family, consisting of ten children,
fotiiid means to escape. "
It is positively affirmed that the Dutch troops
were gtiilty of the most brutal excessesin an Eng-
lisli boarding-school in this city, where there are
many young persons ofthe first English families.
Energetic complaints have been sent to London
upon this fact, as well as the horrors committed by
these Vandals in the hotel of the British Ambassa-
dor.

— A Dutch corps, in the invasion of Brussels. con-
was up to thisltime -tlieeonlyone made upon the

concentrated in the higher quarter.

corps were likewise at the ba_-rtcadv; others were

the barricade ofthe mGufititin_ol'the Park , a fourth
helditself ready to debouclie from the Rue Royale
to the Place de Louvain. The troops had their
cannon pointed towards the Place Royale. From
the moment when the staircase of the Bibliotheque
was occupied by the grenadiers, the inhabitants
-were engaged from both sides of the end of theRue
td'Isabelle, in a running fire. which they kept up
stliroughout the day. The Boulevards, from the
Schacibeck Gate to that of the Naiuur, belonged
also to the troops. Such was pretty nearly the po-
sitin of bolli parties on the day ofthe 23d.
The combat was a continual fire of musketry.
The Engagement. continua-d till nightfall, when
the fire ceased, little by little from all points. In
their movement through the new Rue Royalt: and
Rue Louvain,.t.he troops took the barrack of the
Aniionciades; towards the evening there was a ru-
mor, that those which had occupied the Park offer-
ed to evacuate it provided they were allow-
ed to retire unmolested to their barracks; but
the absence of any chtefamong the Bourgeoise reti-
dared this overture tmavailiiig; each party main-
tained its position, the volunteers left some sentin-
els at the barricades, and the rest retired. .- ‘Among
this ' opulatioi: in possession of arms, animated by
com at,in the midstofa city without authorities and
abandoned to itself, not 4 single excess was com-
inttted.
Towards the end of the day, flames were seen
for a few minutes issuing frotn a house‘ in front of
the gate of Schaerbeck and the barrack of the Au-
nonciades.
The post of the staircase of the observatory, al-
ready spoken of, was surrounded by the troops from
the time when they moved upon the Boulevards.
Tl.¢L§cgois defended themselves bravely, until they
had exllendgd all their ammunition. In this extrem-

The following is asuminary of the intelligence
from Osteiid:-On Sunday night (Sept._26th) a
serious disturbance took place at Osteiid, in conse-
quence ofa tumultuous assemblage oftheBourgeois,
who insisted upon hoisting the Brabant flag; the
troops were called out, but felt. more disposed to as-
sist, than quell the rioters, and gieut acts of insub-
ordiiiatioti were the consequence. The mob in-
creased every instant & to a most alarming extent,
when the soldiers were directed to firc——-tliey did
so, but it was in the air: and only a casualty or two
occurred, for bad the shots been directed against
the populace, the slaughter would have neen iin-
mense. An attonipt was afterwards made to seize
the arms of the military, who were tame enough to
subuiit—.lJut they were subsequently relinqui-ihed.
Things continued in the most feverish state" until
last night, when the Bfilhillll. flag was lioisted with-
out o )p0ttltl0n. In the course ofthe night our packet
peop is were callotl from their berths, with a request
that they would proceed to tea with all possible dc-
sputch, as soon as the steam of die pnckct could be
got up. with the principal officers of the military
and other departinents, as they expected to lose
their lives. About 40 oflicers came on board, with
the principal valuables they possessed, wliit:h'thcy
throw into the packet pell mell, and money was
rolling about the docks in all directions: tliepackct
soon as Belgium should be declared independent.
_'l'his project, which many Dutelt families hzip-e for
it longrtime desired to see realized, would reduce
the'King ofthe Netherlands to the simple rank of
Stitdtholder, the only title that the Prinoas_o_t;l;__i:
faniily‘-held previous to the year 1814. "
Later"advices state that the King or the Nether-
lands had closed'theSession of the States General.
and had appointed acommission to draw up the le-
gal enactments which the existing state ofhis do-
minions was supposed to require. In ollier words,

Disturbances in Berlin.
There have been disturbances in Beilin, (the
capital of Prussiajofa moreseriousicharactcr than
the official Gazette oftheGov’t was allowed to pub
lish. A letter from Frankfort says-
“It was not merely an assemblageofjourneymen
tailors, buta meeting ofmore than 20,000 persons,
who loudlycall for theconstitutionproiiiised in 1814.
The armed force received orders to fire on the
crowd; the troops ofthe line refused, it is said. to
act against their fellow citizens. but the Royal
Guard executed the order: 60 itidividuals were kill-
ed. The same letter adds, that new riots had bro-
ken out at Hesse Cassel, and that the Elector had
been fired at in his carriage; heis said to have been
wounded.”
SAXONY.
Insurrection in Dresrlen-—./lbrlieatioiz If the King.
A letter from LPlpSlC of Sept. 10 says; " Official
accounts have just been received. that the people
ofDresden have riseu,& driveti away the military,
set fire to the police house, and destroyed the hotel
ofthe Minister Einsiedcl, who has run away. The
dissatisfaction has been occasioned chiefly by the
Jesuits filling all the public ollices.
Dresden letters of the lltli confirm the above,&
add that the old King Maximilian. had abdicated in
favor of his nephew, Prince Frederic, who is incli-
tied to the Protestant religion, and that this measure
had restored tranquility.
A letter from Saxony, in speaking ofthe origin of
the Revolution, remarks that " the old king took it
into his head lately, to abjtiie the faith of which
his family had been sut h gallant and zealous do
fond ifzttlturtt [lilo-n's‘e—Citt!it:4Ic ; ..tutl not con-
teiit with his own conversion, he must needs pre-
va'il on his people to be converted also. Such
conduct, in the your 1830, is more deserving of pity
than of censure. The people of Leipsic spurned
the foolish and impudciit attempt to deprive them
ofthe noblest liberty that men can own: but the iii-
liabilaiits of Dresden. it seems, were not content
with merely rt.-pclliiig ll|<- effort.-i ofthe royal bigot
-they attacked the Guards or. which be relied,
and east lllt'lll and him out of their l’rotestaiit city.
The hotel of the first Minister, who is looked on
every where as the iustigatcr to mischief. was burnt
to the ground in thesti ugglc.
The latest news front Dresden states that on the
l3tli M. de Gablentz, Comiiiandant of the Nation-
al Guards, publishcd a proclamation, in which the
King of Saxony announces that Prince Frederick
is appointed co Regent, and tha: pi iiice Maximilian,
father of Prince Frederick has renounced his rights
of succession to the crown, in favor of the latter.
This proclamation, accompanied with the dismissal
of Count Ensiedel, the prime minister, was receiv-
ed with enthusiasm by the people of Dresden ; and
on the l4tli the King made his entry into the town,
accompanied by the new Regent. amidst enthusi-
astic acclamations. Prince Frederick is the repre-
sentative of all the enlightened ideas of the country.
Known as the friend of the reforms claimrd by the
majority ofthe Saxons, his appointment to the Re-
gency, which is a real accession to a throne occu-
pied by an old man 75 years ofage, is a sure pledge
that numerous reforms will be successfully intro-
duced in to the political and administrative system

Impeaclimeiit of the Ezr.-Ministers.
lit the Cliainber of Deputies, September
27th, the report ofthe special cuiritnissioriers,
arraigning the Ex-Miiiistcrs for high treason,
was taken up for (.llSCllSSlOll. All the lobbies
ofthe Chamber were occupied at an early
hour, by strangers, and when the doors were
opened, it reqturctl the ad of a coinpany of
the National Guard to preserve order. After
coiiszdcrable debate, it was agreed to take tip
the case of each Minister separately. The
President then put the question in the terms
with which the report ofthe coininission con-
cludcs, v'z. : “ The Chamber of Deputies
accuses ofliigh treason, M. de Polignac, for
&c.” The several resolutions were put to
the vote seriatim, and were ca.rried,, first by
the tneinbers according to their usual mode
of rising in their seats, when an immense
majority. including the whole of the bench of
Ministers, appeared in suppoitof the proposi-
tion. A ballot was then taken, and there
appeared on the scrutiny, 244 sulfragcs in the
iunjority, against 47 in the Inil)orit.yz~.
On the Qbtli, the Chamber proceeded with
the cases if the other Ex- Ministers. The re-
sult was the same. They were all accused of
high treason, and impeached bcfoie the Chain-
bur ufPeers. In jhe case of Peyronnet, the
votes stood,yeas 232, noes 64 ; (‘-hantelauze,
yeas 222, noes 75 ; Ranville, yeas ‘Z13, noes

Th.; popular societies of Paris.
There are several popular societies in Paris
new goveriimeiit as dangerous to the peace of
society, and dxfiicultics have arisen respecting
the proper mode ofdealing with them. “The
members of these societies,” says a Paris pa-
pt r, “ are for the most part: young men, burn-
ing with a desire for social improvemeiit—
ambitious, certainly, but at least thoroughly
convinced of the soundness oftheir doctrines.
This conscientious enthusiasm renders them
much tiiore intolerant to their adversaries,
and, ifyou will, more dangerous, than ifthey
tt ere, as was at first supposed. tnere mischief-
makers and intrigiiers. These are six of
these societies. The Society of the Friends
ofthe People, is the most numerous, thctnost
ardent, and the most powerful. It has the
greatest nutnbcr of auditors at its sittings and
excites the tnost alarm, by the rigor ofits doc-
trines. and by the personal connections of its
principal members with several men in place.
This society has its journal. Three other
societies have each theirjoornals. All these
societies desire— '.sl, the solemn acknowledge-
ment of the principle of the sovereignty ofthe
people : ‘.’d. the dissolution‘ of the Chambers;
3d, the dismissal of the present Ministry ; 4th,
the abolition of the qualifications reqtfred to
an clfilittlfr or ‘-1 deputy ; firth, a i‘ tiunul
convocation commissioned to -make a new
constitution ; 6th, a kind of appeal to the peo-
plc to confer on Louis Philip lhe royal d'gni-
ty, by virtue ofthe sovereignty ofthe people.
'I'roi1b(ei'u the F rciich Cabinet.
The Mt.-ssc-tiger des Chambres, (a Paris pa-
per) of September 25th, says: “ The Moni-
tcurofto-inoi'i-uw -will probably. contain the
names or a new Ministry. A crisis has exis-
led for some days in the Cabinet on account
ofa difference in opinion relative to popular
snt-it-tit-s; it has concluded by the retirement
ofall those Ministers who were opposed to
them. At the moment we write, the ministe-
rial arrangements are not. complete. but they
will probably be in the evening. M. M. de
Broglio, Guizot, Gerard, Boron Louis, Count
Mole, and Dupin, are the Ministers who leave
the Cabinet. The members ofthe new Min-
istry which is formed by M. Lafitte, already
named, are General Lamarque, the War
Department: M. Odillon Barrot. the Interior;
Admiral Duberre, Marine ; M. Bignon, Pub-
lic Instruction,”
The same paper of the following day says:
“ The_2Minis£ry, which was yesterday dissol-
ued; rtfllied in the evening, at the very mo-
ment of its expected dissolution. Our revo-
lution has already fruits too great to be ex-
pressed by words, and the ministerial crisis,
from which we have just escaped, will, we
hope, be equally valuable. Men, alike hon-
orable and distinguished, were about to sepa-
rate, because they differed in opinion upon
one important question, although they agreed
in every principle respecting the internal
and external wants of the country. They
have, llt)W('Vel"., determined to remain and per
form their duty. VVe believe that this recon-
Cllltlllnn has saved Fiance from much peril.”

The Resolution in Bruns-wi'e'/.-.
A Parts paper gives the following account‘
ofthe causes which led to the revolution in
the Duchy oflirunswick; '
It will be reinetnbt-red that the late~Dukc
of Brunswick was killed at the battle of Wu-
terloo, leaving his two children—-tlie hopeful
fugitive. and Prince Williatn-—to the guardi-
anship of their uncle, George IV. On the
return of peace, a constitution was granted to
Brunswick, founded on the principle of popu-
Iar representation. On coming of age, -the
young prince thought the constitution too fa-
vorable to his subjects, and determinetl on its
violation, and proceeded to govern in the -
must despotic manner. His conduct produced
general disgust, and the principal families
quittod his territories. One ofthe fitst acts
of t_\ i-any was the preferring a series of
groundless cliaigrs against Von Sierstorf, one
of the Wt a7thie.-t noblemen in the principality, l
who had long‘ held the officeofGrand H untsman.
This nobleman was ignoininiously dismissed
from his situation and banished. On bemg
brought to trial, however, he was lioiiorably
acquitted by the judges, to whom the Duke
sent an insulting message by hisCharnberlain,
who tore and trampled on th--ir decision in
their presence. ' After this many of thejudges.
died or retired, and their places were not fil-
led up; so that justice ceased to be legally
atlmiinstei-ed. 'l‘lie first excitement ofthe
people was occasioned by preparations which _
in triumph. The police interfered to prevent
it, and here ‘began the first symptoms of rev-
olutionary action. . ‘
The next outrageous act of the Duke, was
to torture to death the Master of the Horse,
ed. This man, while on his death bed, was
visited by the Duke and grossly insulted, and
Duke ordered a band to play under his win-
dow all night. His death soon followed, and
his place was-fifled by in French 'moni,’>.tsam--
ed D’Allouard, to wliuirwthe-‘ ul'te' became
attached.- It was by a series of similar vio
lotions of decency that the Duke had contri.
ved to awaken in almost every individual
within his dominions a personal animosity :-
gainst. him. The Duke was in the habit of
going every evening to the theatre. On re -
turning-home one eventng, the mob pelted
his carriage; and such was the fury of the
people, that if they could h_ave get hold of him
they would have certainly torn him to pieces,
The cuachman, however, whipped his horses
into a gallop, and contrived to reach his pa-
lace in safety. The tumult: became general
and it was now evident the capital was in 3
state ofinsorrclion.
[What followed, the burning of the Ducal
palace, and the flight of the Duke, is known
to otir readers.]
A private letter of the 28th of September.
from Brunskick says : “ To the general sat‘-.
isfaction, intelligence has arrived that in
consequence of the reception our Ex-Duke
met with in England, be has abdicated the
Government of the Duchy, and it is probable
that Duke William, who is universally be-
loved, will be proclaimed to-morrow. ’ .
All the Sovereign Princes of Germany, it
is said, are asseinbliug the notables of their
country. and are disposed to grant the ameli-
oration necessary to government to redress
grievances, and to do justice to all well foun-
ded claims. , ' i ' -
Accounts from Hanover state that serious
disturbances have broken out at Luneberg
and_ Cello. The people are in insurrection
against the privileges of the nobility, and de-
mand that the King of Hanover should reside
in the country. or transfer his crown to the
Duke of Cambridge.
