The disturbances in the Netherlands
do not appear to have been settled. The
discontent in Belgium is said to be gen
oral, and any attempt to put down the
people, by force, would be likely to cause
u general Revolution.
Naples was quiet on the 2lth of Au

A rumor of a union between the mute
of Wellington and the llusiusson party,
was current in London on the 4th ol Sep
tember, but it was supposed to be an old
story revived. It was likewise rumour
ed that the Duke of Wellington had re
signed in consequence of a difference m
opinion with the King on continental po
lities; this had but little credit. The Tima
states that the Civil List will be cut down
with an unsparing hand, next session of
Parliament.

In Paris, on the 2d September, bodies
ofjourneywien printers wont to the ollieos
of several Journals which were printed
by machinery, and demanded that those
Journals should be printed wi.h the or
dinary press, in order to employ a great
er number of hands. The Journal tics
JJrbats and Courier, could not be printed
on the .‘id, owing to this circumstance.
The Constilulionncl had entered into an
agreement not to employ a machine press

The Paris Monilcur of the 2d Septem

King, that all Peers who do not take the
required oath of adhesion within one
month, will forfeit their right to sit in the
Chamber of Peers, and that all Deputies
tv!)o do not take it in fifteen days, will he
deprived of their seats in the Chamber ol
Deputies.
Lord Stuart dr Rotiibay has been ac
credited Ambassador to the King of the
French, from the British King: and he
had delivered hiscredentials at the French
Court. This circumstance had occasion
ed much joy in Paris; the British Gov
ernment being the first to recognize the
new government of France, it was re
ceived as a pledge, that the peace of Eu-
Twpe would not bo disturbed, if France
abstained from interference in the atihirs
of other countries.
The Paris Journal da Commerce of Sept.
3, contains the following paragraph re
lating to Portugal:—“On the IHlh of Au
gust the ferment continued at Lisbon:
the guns of fort St George were pointed
against the City, and the frigate Diana, of
48 guns, was anchored in front of the
Place do Terr iru de Paco, which is the
usual scene of popular tumults. In or
der to avert the storm, agents of the
police spread among the crowd a report
that Chari. k.s X. had been restored to his
Throne, and that he cut oil’ the heads of
more than 2<l<l noted rebels, mid among
them those of the principal Editors of the
Jacobin Journals and General Lafay
ettk.”
A. letter from Lislion rtielved in T.ou
don, states that great ferment prevailed
there, and that the government were
using every possible precaution to pre
vent an explosion in favor of the Con -
stitutionalists.
London, Sept. G.
From the Morning Herald.
The contents of the Brussels papers
are of the highest interest. On Thurs
day, the signers of the address to the
King, consisting of the chief inhabitants
of that city—nobles, bankers, merchants,
manufacturers, and members of the dif
ferent learned professions, assembled at
the Hotel de Villa, to receive the report
of their deputation, a copy of which will
be tbnnd amongst our extracts. This
report, as may he, supposed, bail been
exported with great impatience, by the
inhabitants of all classes, and, as soon ns
printed, it was posted up in different parts
of (tie town, iu order to gratify public
curiosity. The report stales that, ns
soon as the Deputation) had arrived at
the Hague, on Monday last, they imme
diately demanded an audience of the King.
amU in about half an hour received un
answer, stating that the King would see
them next day at the palace. On their
arrival they were received with much
kindness; and the first thing that the King
did. was to ask them the authority under
which they acted, and which, though set
up in opposition to his own, and virtually
in.l •pendent of it, he deemed it expedient
to recognise. This preliminary measure
being thus settled to the satisfaction of
the Deputies, they proceeded to read the
address, nt tho conclusion of which the
King said lie was charmed at having
anticipated one of their wishes—that of
convening the States General. The do- .
piitalion then stated the various points
•which they were commissioned to lay
before the King'; and the remarks of the
latter show the perplexity under which
he labored. He evidently felt the utmost
repugnance to yield, but was afraid to ro
liise; and the results betray those con
flicting sentiments, no definitive resolu
tion having been adopted, though much
was promised. The deputation had,
afterwards, a long conference with the
ministers, in which the latter are said
to have conducted themselves with n
frankness and cordiality which inspired
the deputation with tho best hopes. No
mention, however, is made ofthc impres
sion produced by the report on the sign
ers of the address; and we can only infer
that it was favorable from their having
invited two of the Deputies to procred to
the palace of the Prince of Orange, in or
der to apprise his Royal Highness of the
results of their mission to the Hague, and
nt the same time to describe to him the
real slate of the public mind. The con
ference between the Deputies and the <
1 mice hail not terminated when tin' i
.Brussels papers went to press, hut it i
oliicially announced that every tilin',
proceeded favourably, and that the issue i
was expected to be most satisfactory, i
Notwithstanding this official announce- I
viwnt, the pcoplt* displayed great of’ j
agitation in the course of tluo evening .
to calm which the General ofthc Burgher <
Guard repaired to the Grande place, I
whence he read to them a |>roclaination <
of the commission appointed to treat i
with tho Prince, nt the heud of which 1
was the Duke dTlrsel, and fiw« theco- i
>y, which we subjoin, it will b« seen th..
ae most sturdy asserters of popular right--- i
and no cause to complain ol tie conduct
of the commission. This proclamation
too had the desired effect, ard the peo
ple dispersed amidst cries ol "Long live
Van Hoogvorst.” During the progress
of these important negotiations, the in
habitants remained eonstaitly under
arms, prepared for either alternative;
and, to confirm their patriotic resolution,
a deputation from Liege, consisting ot
the most distinguished youigmen ol that
city, arrived at Brussels oi I rulay, to
offer, on the part of their fellow-towns
men, aid in men. money, ard arms, if ne
cessary. The deputation, with the ban
ner of Liege floating below them, parad
ed the principal streets, aid hi the pro
cession were live chess ol muskets,
which they brought to complete the ar
ming of the people of Bnssels; also sev
eral Members ofthc Second Chamber ot
’ the States-General, well known for their
liberal principles, had arrived in Brussels
‘ to j.tin the popular movenent; and, upon
a proceeding which speaks volumes to
every enlightened man, it is unnecessary
to make any comment. Also deputa

i- Great agitation has prevailed since

Louvain, in which it seems three per

being taken-by surprise, fled out of the
city without arms. It is added, that the
house of tho governor has been plun

Exchange of Paris, Sept. 2.—When the
events of which Belgium lias lately been
the theatre became known, it was easy
to foresee that Prussia would not behold
with indifference, the serious disorders
which had been committed by n popula
tion hitherto tranquil mid faithful. It is
affirmed to-dny that nil the troops of that
nation, begin to make demonstrations
towards the frontier; and though these
movements do not in any manner threa
ten France, they arc calculated to excite
uneasiness in people’s minds respecting
the consequences which may result from
them. Accordingly, all the Funds have
been heavy, ami have lost part of the
ground which they gained yesterday.
Loiters from Bt. Petersburg, of the
10th of August, announce that the Em
peror of Bussia has returned to his cap
ital from his journey to Pindinnd. It is
probable that the news of the events of
Paris, which reached Petersburg on the
Pith August, may have contributed to
accelerate the return of his Imperial Ma
jesty. As late as the 15th of August—
namely, three days after the account of
the revolution of Paris bad been receiv
ed—the-Gazette de St. Petersburg had
not yet made any mention of the Paris
events.
This agrees with the intelligence bro't
by Lord Hcylcsbury's messenger on Sa
turday, that the Russian Government laid
ordered the introduction of newspapers
to bo prohibited.
; City, (London) Saturday Evening, Sept. 1.
At. no period since the great panic of
1825 and 182 G, lias there been such tin ex
traordinary degree of excitement among
the speculators in the public Funds, as
that which prevailed to-day; and s* ge
neral was the desire to sell Btoek, that
we have to notice a depression in Con
sols for the Account of not less than two
and n half per cent, on the closing quo
tation of yesterday afternoon. The de
cline since this day week may be stated
at full five per cent.
To account lor the depression of to
dny, a variety of rumours were circulat
ed : and for a time the most absurd
statements met with, credit, or, ut least,
tended to increase the general alarm.
The real cause of the decline is stated
to be a want of confidence among the
private hankers in the stability of many
of the large speculators in the Funds,
and that the former, to protect them
selves hnve thrown nn immense amount
of Stock pledged with them into the
hands of the latter, who had no other re
source but to bring it to market That

The fact of the acknowledgement of
Louis Philip by Great Britain, had diffus
ed great joy in France.
It is stated that Count de llayncvlle
had retimed iroin 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 y«t ac
knowledged the change in the Govtrn
ment; but, on the contrary had interdet
cd ail intercourse between the two corn
tries, not allowing any French ships to
1 enter the ports of Russia carrying he
1 tri-colored flag; at the same time thein
-1 ter diet cxlemls to all French travelings.
The intelligence which had reached St.
Petersburg, v. as, however, the mere fict
' that a revolution hail broken out in
1 France, nothing was known of the resflt.
1 It was believed when the facts readied
) Ilussia, that tranquility had been restor
! ed in France; that the French have fleet
-1 ed the Duke of Orleans to be iheiriiing;
• that the British Government hae ac
-1 knowledged the wisdom of the thoice;
that Austria is well disposed towtrds the
new Constitution and that otlici coun
tries equally afflicted wore disposed to
fling oil’ und some of them had jctnally
• flung off, the shackles of tyramy, —the
• Emperor of Ilussia will remove all the
• restrictions, and permit a True intercourse
between the two nations.
The following is an extract of i letter
? obtained from tit. Petersburg, dacd the
1 21st Aug.
I ‘•You will, I have no doubt, be consid
erably surprised at the course alopted
• by the Russian Cabinet towards tie new
• French Government, as it has givn no
> tice that no vessels having the tri-olorcd
■ flag hoisted shall enter our ports aid that
those bearing the white flag of fi ance
only shall be allowed to anchor. Alter
the many statements which have been
circulated hero of the concurrenceof the
Emperor in a change in France, the
French residents have been suiprised
’ beyond measure.
It has been fully expected flirt there
were some events of importaneeon the
’ tapis, as the Russian ministry have had
almost daily meetings, to whirl ocea
'. sionaily have been summoned theßritish,
Austrian, ami the French Ambassadors.
It is believed by many persom here,
looking on the bright side of the picture,
iliat the notice issued by the Russia! gov
ernment will only boos n temporiry nn
lure, & tliattiie hostility of the empTorto
(lie tri-colored flag will be wholl,’ done
away with when he learns that Great
Britain has recognized the new French
King. It must be here mentioned that
the British Ambassador when askedby
the Ministers of the Emperor, ns to his
opinions of Mm probable course bs Gov
ernment would pursue, be instantly re
plied that it was bis conviction that Great
Britain would not do any thing tending
miliuue against tlie will of the French
people, 'fliis is the story current here,
among parties who sometimes have pos
sessed good information, A, I see no rea
son to doubt the correctness of the state
ment.
“ The merchants and other French re
sidents here have had mi intimation giv
en to them Mint they are not to make
any sort of public demonstrations of joy
in consequence of the late transactions
in Paris, under pain of being ordered to
quit the country. Politicians here are
awaiting with much anxiety the result
of tlie present declared opinions of the
Russian Government.”
One letter, a London paper says, is in
town, which states that all the natives
of France resident in Petersburg and
the other principal Russian cities and
towns have been ordered to leave in 5
days. This statement is not Irarncout
by any of the advices from the most ros
pectnble sources. It, is said further that
•he Emperor Nicholas intended to make
u fresh levy of men. in addition to that
of wbiGi notice was issued only a short
time ago. This assertion is not confirm
ed.
The great review of the National
Guard in flic Champ do Mnrs, which had
been for several weeks in preparation,
was on Sunday the 291 h. The number
of the guard was filly thousand, the
whole of them clothed at their own ex
pense, and serving without pay or emo
lument. The population poured out in
immense numbers to witness tlie truly
patriotic display: one account says, with
exaggeration doubtless, that not less than
linlf'n million were present. Lafayette
acted ns the roniniuuder-iii-ciiiof on the
occasion, and received on the ground {tie
congratulations of tlie Municipality of
Paris. ‘•This is a glorious day for you
and us," said tlie prolocutor of the Muni
cipality. “Glorious indeed," replied the
old hero, “the eighty nine was a great
day. but this is much greater.” In the
midst ol the review, a mass of persons
was seen slowly advancing amidst the
shouts of the surrounding spectators it
was tlie wounded in tlie fight of the
Three Days, who had crawled and been
carried from th- hospitals to view tlie
splendid show, which, hut for their exer
tions. would never have taken place.—
Amidst this band of patriots were seen
boys of not more Ibnn twelve years of
age. who had risked their lives on that
memorable occasion, mid women who
had forgotten their sex's fears in the dan
gers of their country. The following
letter, addressed by the King to Lafay
ette on the same evening, is character
istic.
“I am anxious to learn, my dear Gen
eral, how you find yourself niter this glo
rious day; for I am fearful that you must
be 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 whom you arc
the patriarch. Tell them, that they have
not only surpassed my most sanguine
expectations, hut that’it is completely
out of my power to express my senti
ments of joy and happiness. Having

pel the invasion which we hud tlie hap
piness of resisting at Valmy,lam able
to make the comparison; and it is with
transport 1 declare to you, that what I
have just seen is fag superior to what I
then considered so noble, and what our
enemies found so formidable. Have the
goodness, my dear General, to express
to the National Guards how sensibly I
was affected by their testimonies towards
myself, and how deeply my heart is im
pressed therewith.—Yours affectionately,
“Louis Phillip.”

The troops of the Algerine expedition
were much dispirited. Great sickness
had prevailed amongst them. The tri
colorod flag and cockade had been as
sumed by both tlie fleet and the army.—
It is said that 15,000 troops would be ne
cessary to replace those who had either
been killed, were sick, or were disgusted
with the service, if it were intended tlie
army should proceed against tlie natives
who occupy the mountains.

CHEROKEE LANDS.
After the reading of the Journal, the
speaker remarked that Mr. Wolford's
resolution in relation to the survey of the
Cherokee lands w as before tUo bouse for
the appointment of a committee.
Mr. WOFFORD rose and said he
would offer 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 as re
lates to the survey of the Cherokee lands,
with leave to report by bill or otherwise.
Mr. HAYNES remarked that he
thought the disposition of the house
seemed to be yesterday to make tho re
ference to the joint committee on the
1 State of the Republic. It had been mov
ed to lay the resolution on the table for
the purpose of refering the subject to that
committee. He hud introduced a notice
Ibr 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 State of the Republic, lie was con
ical to let it take that course.
iUr. WOFFORD remarked that he
did nut know how the gentleman from
Hancock knew the wish of the house to
give the subject thut reference. I know,
su/d he, that such a disposition was mani
fested by some gentleman. Hut he hop
ed the house would pursue the course of
thp resolution. He believed that was the
uaial course in such 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 a large mass
of business referred to that committee.—
I This house has some feeling on this sub
ject, and his object was to have a com
, Imiltcc to investigate the whole matter at
an early day, and fetch it before the legis
lature in a shape proper to be acted on,
and that every man might vote on it ns
he thought best. He had some feeling
on the subject, and therefore he urged it.
Mr. HUDSON remarked that the ques
tion was 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. liefer the subject to a large joint
’ standing committee, and that committee
’ jvill collect the fuels ns to the right of
’ »urvey; and if that right be found to ex
it, then the course of the gentleman
’ lorn Habersham is correct. Hut if we
’ hink we have the right, it is due to the
‘ jpoplc of the United .States, that our ren
sns should be laid before them. He
’ l»j>ed the subject would be referred to
tls committee, on the State of the Repub
lit The question involves not the sin
. gl point of survey, but rather a system
ofnensures. The whole should be com •
biipd and arranged, together with the
sacs and reasons on which they are
Ibucled, so that when a bill is reported,
the easons for it should be reported with
it. aid go before the people for their sut
isfuoion.
Mi MURRAY hoped that from the
expnssion of the house yesterday the
diflicilfy would be easily gotten over.—
He ms able, he thought, now to bring
up tluqucstion in such a shape ns would
embrace his own views, and the views of
other gentlemen. He had drawn up
some which would not only
cover hat particular object, but the
whole efthe Governor's Message. This
was in conformity with the usage of the
house, aid was due to the Message itself.
He therebre offered his resolutions ns a
substitutefor the one on the table.
The SPEAKER decided thut it was
not now in order.
Mr. WOFFORD remarked that he
was apprised of the influence of the op
posers of hi? resolution. Hut he thought
their reasons were the very reasons why
it should be adopted. His object was to
have the subject thoroughly investigated.
Where w;ill the committee originate?—
Will not the speaker appoint them. And
cannot he appoint tlmoe whose imme
diate duty it will bo to investigate it?—
He was on the committee,, on tho State
of the Republic. And he knew that the
usual course with that committee was to
refer subjects to sub-committees—where
they arc kept for some time. His object
was to bring the subject before the house
at once.
Mr. RYAN remarked that ns to the
survey, he thought there was no doubt.
To him it appeared to be a question of
expediency altogether. It hail been well
observed by the gentleman from Putnam,
that information was necessary for per
sons at a distance. The whole subject
should be managed with great caution ;
and after a decision is had upon it, it
should be pursued with energy. As to
the proper committee, he thought it should
take the usual course. The main abject
was to ascertain the sense of the house.
There were a number of matters so inti
mately connected with the subject, as to
make it dangerous to carve them out to
different committees. The subjects were
so blended 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
gentleman from Lincoln can offer his eub
stitute covering the whole Mess-ire m
thought the views ofthegtuiUeniarfrS
W airen were good, while those of ? ‘
gentleman from Habersham were wits
out foundation. He holds that if we r*
ler it to the joint standing committee
the State of the Republic, would 1 0
tlI j lp ; 1 ' , . 0w 1 would ask, said Mr u
what obligation you have on any nwm
oer of this house or ofany committee Kh*
lus sense ofduty to the house, and to th«
country. By what authority can yJa
compel either a joint standing commit
ora select committee, to attend to Lusi
ness confided to them ? Appoint a W
committee on this subject and what
rantee have you that they will attend m
their business better than the joint stand,
ing committee?
Mr. D. again remarked tnat the vie**
ol the gentleman from Warren, were i*.
refutable. The survey was not the only
question. If we examine the messags
we will find many questions presented iq
it. It was dangerous to separate them.
Do so, and you will have one committee
to provide for a survey, another to take
possession of the country, another to pro
tect the Indians, another to dispose of
improvements.—-There will be no con
cert between them. Their measures
will clash with one another, and may
thus bo rendered nugatory. He would
rcier the whole subject to one committee
and a system of measures, in accordance
with one another, may be presented for
the consideration of the House. This
result cannot he obtained if the course
proposed by the gentleman from Hab
ersham is adopted.
The question was then taken on the
motion to lay Mr. Wofford's resolution on
the table, and decided affirmatively.
Subsequently, when it was called up
Mr. MURRAY offered a substitute, con!
sisting of a series of resolutions, refer
ring the various subjects embraced in
the Governor's message to the appro
priate joint Standing Committees, which
was adopted.
Hills were taken up, nnd several read

fees on grants in the lotteries of 1818, I*l9,
1821, to s(>, and to extend the time of ta
king them out, was read the 3d time, and
ordered to bo sent to the Senate.
Mr. Harris resolution for the appoint
ment of n committee to confer with a
like committee on the part of the Sen
ate, on the subject of a reduction of
the members of the Legislature, agreea
ble to the expressed will of the people,
was taken up and agreed to.—The com
mittee appointed wns Messrs. Burns,

Health of the City. —We are sorry to
say that the health of our city is sonic
what worse than last week. This is, iu
all probability, resulting from the dense
atmosphere which, for a few days, we
have breathed in. Rains have fallen,
in showers sufficient to lay tho dast, but
not to an extent that can he expected to
produce parity in the air. We dread
the arrival of vessels from northern ports
as most likely they will bring out a mini
her of passengers. Business is yet dull
and those who may have relied ou the
lateness of the season, nnd have
ed for this place, will do well to cross the
lake for a few weeks. Sickness still con
tinues its ravages, and cases of fever arc
more numerous now than they were a
few days since. Wc therefore, are obliged
to continue the report of the health of our
city: the ravages that death lias lately
made, makes it our duty, to the absent, to
give a true statement. The number of
invalids, in the different ’hospitals <-f this
city, according to the report of Com
missary Henry, are 222.— Mer. Advertiser.

We learn from the Alabama Journal
that the workmen employed to open u
Road agreeably to an act passed the
last Legislature between Daniel Lewis'
in Pike county, and the Chattahoochic
River were met by about 100 Creek In
dians, underarms and notified that they
were instructed by their Chiefs to forbid
the further opeuing of the Road. The
workmen not being in a situation to con
tend against so formidable n force, re
turned to their homes. Information was
immediately transmitted to the Governor,
of these proceedings of the Indians, ami
thus the matter rests.—What course will
be pursued by the Executive, remains to
lie seen. That it will be prompt and vigor
ous, nnd that the laws will be executed,
we have not a doubt .—.Mobile Register, 12/4
