The conti nts Os the llrassels papers
*»re of the highest interest. On Tlnrrs
♦lay, tin- signers of the address to the
King, consisting of the chief inhabitants
of that city—nobles, bankers, merchants
FRaiiiiliietarers, and members of the dif
ferent learned professions, assembled at
the Hotel de Villi*, to receive the report
of their deputation, n copy id' which will
la- found amongst our extracts This
report, ns may he supposed, had been
expected with great impudence, by the
inhabitants of n'l classes, and, as soon its
printed, it was posted up indilfercnl parts
ofthe town, in order to gratify public
Curiosity. The report stales that, as
Hoon as the Deputation had arrived at
the Hague, on Holiday lust, they iniaie
iUnlcly demanded tin audience of the King,
mid. in about half mi hoar received un
answer, slating that the King would see
them next day at the palace. On their
arrival they were received witli much
kindness; and (he first thing Unit the King
did. was to ask them the authority under
which they acted, mid which, though set
up in opposition to his own, mid virtually
independent of it. he deemed it expedient
to recognise. This preliminary measure
being thus settled to tin- satisfaction of
the Deputies, they proceeded to read the
address, at the conclusion of which the
King siMil he was charmed at having
anticipated one of their wishes—that of
convening the Slates General. The de
putation then stated the various points
“which they were commissioned to lay
before (ho King; and the remarks of the
latter show-(he perplexity under which
.he labored. -He evid -atly felt the utmost
repugnance to yield, hut was afraid to re
fuse; and the results betray those con
ilieting sentiments, no\dclinitive resolu
tion having l.cea adopted, though much
-was promised The deputation find,
nllerwards a long -conference with the
Vniaisters. in which the flutter are said
to have conducted themselves with n
frankness and cordiality which inspired
the deputation wrth the best hopes. No
mention, however, is made ofthe impres
sion produced by the report on the sign
ers of the address; and we can only infer
tlial it wus favorable from their having
invited two ofthe Deputies to |>ruceed to
the palace ofthe Pciu<v*«f I »j-nngo, in or
der to apprise liis Royal Highness of the
results of their mission to tbejAague, and
«t the same time to describe to him the.
real slate ofthe |Hiblie mind. The eon
t’errnee between the Deputies and the
Prince hud not terminated w hcji the

ollioinity announced that every thing
proceeded favourably, and that, the issue
■was expected to be most satisfactory.
'Notwithstanding litis official announce

end Members ofthe Second Chamber of

a proceeding which speaks volumes to
every enlightened man, it is unnecessary
to make any comment. Also deputa

cities, had arrived for the same purpose;

Great agitation has prevailed since
yesterday in this city. The report ofthe
Deputation, on its return front the Hague,
bus not answered the hopes that were
formed of it, as il has not led to any re
sult. mid it him feared that the long-wish
ed for better order of things would he
longer delayed. Till the arrival of this
news the calm mid peaceful attitude of
thc-clty showed (ho I’rlnee of Orange
whnt might, be expected from the loyal
ly of the Belgians, and his Koynl High
ness appeared to he very sensible of it
If we think of the energy which was
shewn the day before the arrival of ids
Royal Highness in the whole city : tin
vigorous measures of defence* which'
were every where seen; and when vvi
j recollect how a single step, n Imre pro
I mise ofthe elder son of onr {Sovereign
restored tranquility \ happiness among
(Mil- citizens, who would not be grieved

Last night there was some lighting at
Lolivnin. in which it seems three pel
sons were killed. It is said that the peo 1

city with- nl arms. It is added, that the
house of the* governor hits been plun
dered.
I’. >S Tht- Prince of Orange is going
to set out Um- the Hague. It, is certain
he is the hearer of a proposal, the ob

ernment. The troops will quit the city.
From flu* Gazette tie Friincp,
tlvehanqi c/' Dim.?. Sept 2. \Vlien the
events of winch Belgium Inis lately been
the theatre became-known, it was easy
to foresee that Prussia would not behold
with indifference, the serious disorder
which laid been committed by a popula
tion hitherto tranquil and faithful. 11 is
aflirmed to-day that all the troops of (hat
initio -, begin to make demonstrations
towards the frontier; and though these
movements do not in any manner threa
ten Franco, they arc calculated to exeiti
uneasiness in people's minds respecting
the consequences which may result from
them. Accordingly, all tin-Funds have 1
been heavy, ami have lost part of the
ground which (hey gained yesterday. 1
Letters from St. Petersburg, of the
10th of August, announce that the Em ]
peror of Russia has returned to his cap- I
itnl from his journey to Findland. It is i
probable that the news of the events of
Paris, which reached Petersburg On (lie i
1-th August, may have contributed -to I
accelerate the return of his Imperial 41a- :
jesty. As lute as the loth of August— i
namely, throe days after the’account of i
tin- revolution of Paris had been receiv
ed—the Gazette tie Kt. Petersburg had
not yet made uny mention of the Paris -
events. -
This agrees With the intelligence bvo't -
by Lord l-leyteshuiy's messenger on Sa
turday. that tin- Russian Government had
ordered tHo introduction of newspapers

At no period since the great panic ol
1K24 and lM2t>, has there been such an ex
traordinary degree of excitement among
tlie speculators in the piddle Funds, as
that which prevailed to-day; and so ge
nernl was the desire to sell {Stock, that
we have to notice n depression in Con
sols for the Account of not less than two
and n half percent, on the closing quo
tation of yesterday afternoon. The de
cline since this day week may he slated
at fell five per coat.
To account for tin* depression of to
day. a variety of rumours were circulat
ed ; and for a lime the most absurd
statements met with credit, or. at least,
tended to in-crease the general alarm.
The real cause of the decline is stated
to he a want of confidence -among the
private bankers in the stability of many
of tlie large speculators in the Funds,
and that the former, to protect them
selves, have thrown an immense amount
of Stock pledged with them into the
hands of the latter, who hud no other re
source hut to bring it to market That
this was the real state of tlie ease may
j be more accurately known by the know
ledge of the fact that the public are not
-is yrt -extensive sellers ol stock ; and
all the large sales made within the last
day or two have been by, or for, parties
who are e/jeculuturs in the Funds.

LATEST FIIO4I ENGLAND.
Baltimork, Oct. 19.
The packet shin Birmingham, at New
York, brings London papers to the eve
ning ofthe (,th. and Liverpool to the bill
Keptembcr, both inclusive.
The fact of the acknowledgement of
Louis Philip l»y Great Britain, had diffus
ed great joy in France. . •
It is stated that Count de UayncviHe
had retuned from Vienna to Paris, with
information that the Emperor of Austria
was fully disposed to acknowledge the
new French Government.
The Court of Russia had not yet ac
knowledged the change in the Govern
ment; hut, on the contrary had interdict
ed all intercourse between tlie two coun
tries, not allowing any French ships to
enter the ports of Russia carrying the
tri-colored ting; at the sumo time the in
terdict extends to nil French travellers.
The intelligence which had reached Kt.
Petersburg, was, however, the mere fact
that a revolution had broken out in
France, nothing was known ofthe result.
It was believed when tlte facts reached
Russia, that tranquility had been restor
ed in France; that the French have elect
ed the Duke of Orleans to he their King;
that the British Government have ac
knowledged the wisdom of the choice;
that Austria is well disposed towards the
new Constitution and that oilier coun
tries equally alliieted were disposed to.
(ling off and some ofthem had actually
flung oil', the shackles of tyranny,—the
Emperor of Russia will remove all tin
restrictions, and permit a free intercourse
between the two nations.
The following is un extract of a letter
obtained from Kt. Petersburg, dated the
21st Aug.
*'4 <m will, I have no doubt, he consid
erably surprised aJUlhe coarse adopted
by the Russian C'nlnnct towards the new
French Government, ns it lias given no
tice that no vessels having the tri-colored
(lag hoisted shall enter onr ports and tlml-
Ihose bearing the white flag of France
only shall be allowed to anchor. After
the many statements which have been
circulated here ofthe concurrence ofthe
Emperor in a change in France, the
French residents have been surprised
beyond measure.
It has been fully expected that there
w ere some events of importance on the
tapis, ns the Russian Ministry have had
almost daily meetings, to which occa
sionally luix cliecn summoned the British,.
Austrian, tvnd the French Ambassadors.
It is believer! by ninny persons here,
looking on the bright side of the picture,
that the notice issued by (he Russian gov
ernment will only be of n temporaly na
ture, that the hostility of tiro emperor to
•he tri colored (lug will be wholly done
away with when be learns that Great
Britain lias recognized the new French
King. It mttrthe here mentioned that
•he British Ambassador when asked by
the Ministers ofthe Emperor, as to his
opinions ofthe probable coarse his Gov
ernment would pursue, lie Instantly re
plied that it washisconvictionthat Great
Britain would not do any tiling tending
militate against the will oftho French
eople. This is the story-current here,
nnong parties who sometimes have pos
sessed good information, *V I see no rea
son to doubt (he correct ness ofthe slate
meat.
“ The merchants and other French re
sidents here have hud an intimation giv
en to them that they arc not to make
any sort of public demonstrations of joy
in consequence of the late transactions
m Paris, under pain of being ordered to
quit (to; country. Politicians here are
awaiting xvitli much anxiety (ho result
of the present declared opinions ofthe
Russian Government ”
One letter, a London paper says, is in
(own, which states that all the natives
of France resident in St. Petersburg and
tin- other principal Russian cities and
towns have been ordered to leave in a
days. Tliis statement is not borne out '
by any of the advices from the most res
pectable sources. It is said farther that
the Emperor Nicholas intended to make
a li-esli levy of men. 11l addition to Hint
of which notice was issued only a short
time ago. This assertion is not eonflrm
ed.
The great review of the National
Guard in the Champ de itlors, which had
been for several weeks in preparation,
was on Sunday the 291 h. The number
of the guard was fifty thousand, the (
whole of them elotfced at. their own ex
pease, and serving without pay or emo
lument. The population poured out in
immense numbers to witness tin* truly 1
patriotic display; one nccount says, xvitii
exaggeration doubtless, that not less than '
half a million weitc present. Lafayette
acted ns the vcoinmiinder-in-cliief on tlie
occasion, and received un the ground tlie
congratulations of the Alnni ipality of i
Parts. “This is a glorious day for you i
and up," said the prolocutor ofthe Aliini- .
eipnlily. ‘‘Glorious indeed," replied the
old hero, “the eighty nine was n great
day. hut this is much greater.” In the
midst ofthe review, a mass of persons
was seen slowly advancing amidst the
shonts ofthe surrounding spectators—it
xx as the wounded in the light of the
Three Days, who had crawled and been
curried from the hospitals to viexv the
splendid show, which, hut for their exer
tions, would never have taken place.—.
Amidst this hand of patriots were seen
hoys of not more than twelve years of
age who had risked their Jjves on that
memorable occasion, and women xx-ho
bad forgotten their sex's fears in tlie dan
gers of their country. The fallowing
letter, addressed by the King to Lafay
ette on the same evening, is character
istic
“I am anxious to learn, my dear Cion-'
crnl, bow you find yourself after tins glo
rious day; fori am fearful that you must
he overcome with fatigue; but I have
another object which lies near my heart,
namely, to request you to lie the inter
preter of my feelings towards those glo
rious National Guards, of wliom you arc
the patriarch. Teil (hem, that they huv«
not only surpassed my most sanguine
expectations, lint that it is completely
out of my poxver to express my senti

citizens of Paris; formed in three days,
and who so eminently contributed to re
pel the invasion which we had the hap
piness of resisting at Vahny, I am able
to make the comparison; mid it is with
transport 1 declare to you, that what 1
have just seen is far superior to what 1
then considered so nohle, and what our
enemies found so formidable. Have the
goodness, my dear General, to express
• to the National Guards how sensibly I
wns affected by their testimonies towards
myself and how deeply my heart is im
pressed therewith.—Voors affectionately,

Thursday, Oct. 21.
CHEROKEE LANDS.
After the reading of the Journal, the
speaker remarked that Mr. Wolford's
resolution in relation to the survey oflhe
■ Cherokee lands was before the house for
' the appointment ofu committee.
Mr, WOFFORD rose and said he
wouldoller a substitute which was to
this effect—that a committee be appoint
ed to join the like committee from the
•Senate, to take into consideration so
much of the Governor’s Message ns re
lates to the survey ofthe Cherokee lands,
with leave to report by bill or otherwise.
Mr. HAY \Ed remarked that he
thought the disposition of the house
seemed to he yesterday to make the re
Terence to the joint committee on the
State ofthe Republic. It had been mov
ed to lay the resolution on the table for
the purpose of refering the subject to that
committee. Ho tad introduced a notice
lor a committee to prepare and report a
bill on the subject at once, but as many
gentlemen thought that the proper com
mittee, was the joint standing committee
on the Stale ofthe Republic, he was con
tent to let it take that course.
Mr. WOFFORD remarked that lie
did not know how the gentleman from
Hancock knew the wish ofthe house to
give the subject that reference. I know,
said he, that such a disposition was inani
lested by sonic gentleman. Hut he hop
cd the house would pursue the course of
the resolution. He believed that was the
usual course in s uch cases. When a sur
vey was to be made it was referred to a
joint select committee. He had one ob
jection to the joint standing committee of
which he was a member. It is well
known that there is usually n large mass
of business referred to that committee.—
This house has some feeling on this sub
ject, and Ids object was to have ft com
mittee to investigate the whole matter at
an early day, and fetch it before the legis
lalure in a shape proper to he acted on,
and that every man might vote on it as
he thought best. He had some feeling
on the subject, and therefore he urged it.
Mr, HUDSON remarked that theques
tion wus an important one, and if the fact
was certain that we had the right to sur
vey. the course pointed out by the reso
lution was the proper one. Hut he ap
pealed to the good sense of every gentle
man, whether there was not an enquiry
now going on, whether we had the right
or not. Refer the subject to a large joint
ntmuling committee, ami that committee
will collect the facts, ns to the right ol'
survey: and if that right be found to ex
ist, then the course of the gentleman
from Haljershnni is correct. Rut if we
think we have the right, it is due to the
people ofthe United Slates, that our rea
sons should he laid before them. He
hoped the subject \yjald bo referred to
die committee, on the Stale ofthe Repub
lic. Tlie question involves not the sin
gle point of survey, hut rather a system
of measures. The whole should he com •
hined and arranged, together with the
facts and reasons on which they are
founded, so that when a hill is reported,
the reasons for it should he reported with
it. and go before the people for their sat
isfaction.
Mr. MURRAY hoped that from the
expression of the house yesterday the
difficulty would lie easily gotten over.—
He was able, he thought, now to bring
up the question in such a shape as would.
embrace his own views, and the views of
oilier gentlemen. He had drawn up
some resolutions which would uat only
cover that particular object, but the
whole ofthe Governor's Message. This
was in conformity with the usage of the
house, and was due to the Message itself.
He therefore oll'ered his resolutions as a
substitute for the one on die table.
The Sl’l’.V KE R decided that it was
not now in order.
Mr. WOFFORD remarked that he'
was apprised ofthe influence of the op
posers of his resolution. Rut he thought
their reasons were the very reasons why
it should be adopted. His object was to
have .the salject thoroughly investigated.
W here will the committee originate/
Will not the speaker appoint them. And
cannot lie appoint those whose imme
diate duty it will be to investigate it?
He was on the committee, on the fettate'
ofthe Republic. And he knew that the.
usual course with that committee was to
refer subjects to suh-committecs—where
they are kept for some time. His object
was to bring the subject before the house
at once.
Mr. RYAN remarked that ns to the
survey, lie thought there was no doubt.
To him it appeared to be a question of
i expediency altogether. It had been well
I observed by the gentleman from Putnam,
j that information was necessary for per
| sons nt » distance. Phe whole subject
should be managed with great caution;
and after a decision is had upon it, it
should he pursued with energy. As to
the proper committee, he thought it should
take tlie usual course. The main object
was to ascertain the sense of the house.
There were a number of natters so inti
mately connected with the subject, as to
make it dangerous to carve them out to
different committees. 'Phe subjects were
so Wended that they could not well be
separated. The committee on the State
of the Republic, he thought, should be
charged with the whole subject.
Mr. DOUGHERTY remarked that he
thought the house should pursue prece
dent—lay the resolution on the table for
the present, and when it is called up, the
genikinaa CumldJicola can oiler his sub-
r, stitutc covering the whole Message. ){g B
thought the views of the gentleman from ®
i. Warren were good, while those of tho
1- gentleman from Habersham were with
out foundation. Ho holds that if we ro.
i, for it to the joint standing committee on
I, the State of the Republic, would los«
time. Now I would ask, said Mr. D.
- what obligation you have on any meat-
I her of thjs house or of any committee, but
his sense of duty to the honse, and to thu
- country. Hy what authority enn you
i. compel either a joint standing committee !
- ora select committee, to attend to husi
- ness confided to them ? Appoint a large
committee on this subject and what gua
f rantce have yon that they will attend to
s their business better than the joint stand
ing committee?
s Mr. D. again remarked tnat the views
ofthe gentleman from Warren, were ir- V
i refutable. The survey was not the only I
question. If wc examine the message .
we will And many questions presented in
it. It was dangerous to separate tlufln. i
Do so, and you will have one committee I
to provide for a survey, another to take
possession oflhe country, another to pro- .
. tecl the Indians, another to dispose of
s improvements.—There will be no eon
. cert U"tween them. Their measures |
r will clash with one another, and may
thus he rendered nugatory. He would ;
. refer the whole subject to one committee,
, and a system of measures, in accordance
with one another, may ho presented (nr j
. the consideration of the House. This .Jj
, result cannot be obtained if the course il
. proposed by the gentleman from liulr- K
ersliam is adopted. If
The question was then taken on the W'
. motion to lay Mr. Wofford's resolution on 1 ’
. the table, and decided affirmatively.
Subsequently, when it was called up,
. Mr. MURRAY oll'ered a substitute, con- |
, sisting of n series of resolutions, refer. ‘ ‘
~ ring the various .subjects embraced in h.
