FO n E l G V. LATE AND IMPORTANT FKOM EUROPE. Charleston, Nov. 10. The London packet ship Corimhmn has arrived ai N. Ywk, bringing L'.ndon pi pers to the evening of the 30ih Svp'ewb r. Their contents are highly important. \W gelec> lull accounts ot tite prominent events from the Commercial,Journal of Commerce and (ho proof-slips transmitted by the Mer cantile and G izolte. The Civil IVar in Belgium .—There has been a six days* iriegutai bittle in Brussels, at times raeiog furiously, and ending by the withdrawal of the King’s troops, after much blood-shed on both sides, ano a vast de struction of property. The account sup poses that not less than 9000 had falleu vie* tims to this civil wor. The troops wore withdrawn on the 27*h Sent, taking up a position at I) ogham, but with a view, prob ably of falling back upon Antwerp. The conduct of the populace proves that they are directed by experienced officers. A' 'heir h"ad, rn the rapacity of Coininao. der-in-chief, is Juan Van Halen, ■ Span iaid of Belgic on ‘in, whose sufferings from the iiiq<rsition in Spain, has rendered his names imiliar in Europe It •* no longer, therefore, the turbulence ol an urestramed, and undisciplined, and inconsiderate mob, bat the rebellion of the mass, organised by men of military talents, and actuated by mo lives of personal hostility. A piovisional government had been established, and 'he breach between Belgium and II dtaud now Seems irreparable. Should Prussia inter fere, as apprehended, to subdue the Belgi ans, it would be imposible, we think, for the government of France to restrain that n i tion from an immediate co-operatiou wi.h them. Bloody Conflicts at Brussels.—"On the morning of in- 22i, P III' Frederick left Anvers with his corps and armee, on his route to Brussels. Volunteers set out by the gates of S' haerbock and Lcuvain to attack the troops which occupied the position of Evar and Diegecn ; some others took the road of G milt, to encounter the Husnu# which were stationed on the heights of Z >l - Affairs of advanced posts continued during the day, and the number of Killed was very considerable. In the evening the greater number of the Volunteers returned. Every body repair ed towards the gales, and labored every whero to reinforce the barricadoes. A prolamatiou ol Prince Frederick, publish ed in ine G z- ite des P iys Bis, was spoken of, and the eiitrauce of the troops was mo mentarily expected. The night, however, passed tranquilly. Towards eleven o'c ock 31. D 'upetiaux and another person were despatched to the head quarters or Piince Frederick to represent l<» lino fully die ex act state of things. They could not pro ceed t«rlli> Prince, they were arrested u pon amving at the advanced posts, and in violation of their quality of mosseugers were transported to Anvers, where they remain in custody. On Thursday, the 221, about seven o' clock in the evening, a body of grenadiers and chasseurs appeared before the gates of Schaerbeck and Louvain. Trie Bourge ons Artillery immediately opened a lire upon them, which was returned by the troops; the discharges continued, and soon the bullets began to fall in tho upper part ot the town. Toe movement of tho troops, howevei, advanced, aim they occupied the lines amt walls "f the 80-aoic G odeti, aud opened their fire upon the people of the Boule vard iu font. The staircase of the Ob servatory was guarded t>> V-dunteeis from Liege whose fire covered the external glu *es. A' 8 ' clock, the gales of Louvain & Schaerbeck were forced, aud the Duten troops advanced through the new Ra ■ Roy ale, th'' boulevards aud the Rue Louv-uu, towards the Park. A spoiled engagement theie took pi ice, as the nidforeat columns advanced. Chasseuis ociupied the Rut-do Louvain, and to the truni ot the Uuu d’Oi ange, aud annoyed tho inhabitants posted ot the barricade at Tieurenbuig, under whose fire ihe grenadiers hid debouched from ilie new Rue Royale, many of the lat ter felt, and ibeir wnunde.i were made pris oners. The Paik was ai this time occupied by the troops, and they formed there with Iheir artillery. While these tliiugs were passing ill that quarter, some hussais aud a detachment from the infantry division, en tered by 'lie gate de Fiandre, aud advanc ed to the Pig-market, but they were soou forced to retne, aud a part of them to aban don their arms and baggage ; a good num. bei, among whom was a Colonel, likewise made prisoners.—This attack was up t<> this time the ouly one made upon ihe low er part ot the town, the combat being otherwise concentrated in the higher quar ter. The Part and neighborhood formed toen the principal point of attack. The B urge oise Artillery were near the Place Royale, aud a number of that corps were likewise at the barricade; others were near the staircase of the Bibliotheque, which they abandoned at mid-day. Another post oc cupied the' barricade of th* Mountain of the P .'k ; a fourth held itself ready to de bouebe from the Rue Royale to the Place de Louvain. The troops had their caonun pointed towards the P ace Royal-. From the moment when the staircase of the Bib lotheque was occupied by the grenadieis, the inhabitants were engaged from both sides of the Rue d’lsabelle, in a running fiie which tney kept up throughout the dry. The Boulevaids, from the Schaerbeck gate to that of the Nauiui, bel nged also to the troops. Such was pretty uearly the posi tion of both parlies on the day of th, 23d The combat was a continual fire of mus ketry. The engagement continued till nigh'f 11, when the fi e ceased, little by lit. tie, from <ll points. In their movement through the new Rue Royal aud Roe Lou vain, the troops to.-k 'he barrack of Annon ci*ido« ; tow <ids • venmg there was -n». sour, that those wbicb had occupied ibe Park, rflered to evacuate if, provided they were allowed to retire unmolested to their barracks; but the absence of any chief a niongst the Bourgeoise rendered this over ture unavailing ; each party maintained its position, the Volunteers left some sentinels at the barricades, and the rest retired. The post of the staircase of the Obser vatory, already sbok l 0 of, was surrounded by the troops from the time when they mov ed upon the Boulevards. File Liegeois defeuded themselves bravely, until they had expended all their ammunition. In this extremity they drew off during thetvt- j uing, and passing by the wall of the Boule vard, towards the country, they returned on ' the following evening, alter a long detour, and entered the t »wn by the gate of Hal. j However, during the night many houses were occupied by the troops as well in the Km- Royale as towards the Namur gate. The fire re-opened at 7 o’clock on the morning of Friday the 24tli The fire of the Bourgeois was very spirited, and they gradually dislodged the Dutch soldiers from the houses in the Rue de Namur, and foic ed them to take refuge in the Park, 'he Hotel of Bellevue, that of the Ancien Case of tho Emperor, the Place Royale, I’Au cien Hotel des Guiles, and the corner of the Rue de la Lo'. Many houses in the Rue d’lsabelle, in ftom of the staircase of the Bibliotheque, were filled by volunteers. Tho States General, me P dace, the houses near the staircase of Bibliotheque, were in (he hands of the Dutch. From all these points there issued a heavy fire of musketry. In the Park tho soldiers endeavored to cover themselves by the trees, and among their thick clusters. Oue of their pieces of cannon, in butte ry on the B ulevard, shotverod bullets into the interior of the town A' the Bank, the bullets knocked down n chimney, and penetrated the walls of the rooms, L’Estabinet ala vue Parc re ceived more than a dosun, which pierced and shattered the walls. The Hotel of the Due d’Trael and the Wood market were also damaged. Uoon tho Cautens teen, the house of M. Legge was struck with a bullet, which cairied away a part of the will nf the first floor. The occurren ces excited the must general indignation, & to an extent m. s ilfflcult to describe. Towards evening, many conflagrations burst forth The most terrible was that of the Manege which lasted a'll night. Eve ry thing was there consumed. During the greatest raging of the fie, some soldiers posted in the houses near the Bibliotheque fired, it said, upon the inhabitants who were endeavoring to extinguish the ffmies. It was even said that the fire was com municated by shells, as on the previous eve niug the firing ceased, and night was tran quil. On Satnrday, the 25th, the combat begao anew about 7 o’clock in the morning. To the taking of ttte Park all efforts were then directed. The volunteers made re peated attacks, and eutered many parts of it. As well from the side of the Moun tain of the Park, as from that of the Place Royale, the Brabant flag was borne along the middle of the Park ; but it appeared that the confusion with which these differ ent attacks were made, did not for the mo ment permit of their being followed up with advantage. The Volunteers were several times obliged to evacuate the Park, and it is even said that by a fatal mis'ake two troops of citizens fired upon each other. However the Dutch troops enclosed in tne Park wore d>e uifully f.tigued, and they lay down in their positions for rest. Such was the exact state of things yesteiday evening; nothing has this day changed it, the troops remained always in the Park, at this mo ment the tire of the Tirailleurs continues. A superior officer was taken prisoner on Friday morning. Another was subsi quern ly taken ; they were both sent to the Ar tillery barracks, and from thence to L’ A utgo. A NEW VICTORY. Louvain, Sept. 24. “At 7 « clock yes terday moruiug the Dutch attacked Lou vain from the side of the gate of Moulines, and discharged several shells, when we ad vanced to repulse them. At 10 o’clock we received news that a part of the Dutch at* my of Tniigres had set out for Louvain in great force, and with many cannon; about 11 o’clock the troops were in fact already before our town, upon which they began an immediate attack by a discharge of can non, and vollios of musketry. We sustain ed this atiack; and our brave inhabitants made a sortie which vas attended with complete success ; for at 2 o'clock retreat and confusion were in the Dutch army, which was furiously assailed by our brave pitrmts, and driven to Tirlement where their route became a race, owing to the val iant resistance of the people of that town, who would nut permit them to retire through it. We have many prisoners and our loss is trifling. “Signed by the Commandcr-in Chieflof the citizens of Louvain. By further accounts we learn from Par is, by oui letters of Tuesday evening that on th> 27th the B' Igians had attacked and succeeded in driving the Dutch troops from the Park in Brussels and the neighborhood, and that the town was free. A letter from Brussels of th<* 27th save, that the troops, of P\ Frederick have been beaten on all sides and that the Belgium inhabitants are every where arming against the Dutch. The fortress of Mons is m the power of the Bel gian inhabitants, who have attacked Ath, and,assisted by the inhabitants of that place, have made themselves master of the garri son, who had laid down their arms. The same success has just taken place at Tour nay. Brussels, Sept- 27. Victory ! The hordes of ting nids wtio under the name of soldieis had penetrated into our walls, have been forced to abandon them this night. The desperate engagement yesterday proved to them that it was impossible to enter Brus sels in spite of its inhabitants. Our artillery the command of which ha, j,een since Friday confided loan experienc. and officer, yestei Jay made great slaughter of our barbarous enemies. The command er found a favorable position from w liich he directed his artillery to the lower grounds of the Park, where the D itch had taken refuge. The filing continued till 6 o’clock as on the preceding days, but gradually abated about 3 o’clock. The soldiers fled suc- from the only houses which they occupied towards the states general, ana took refuge in the lower grounds of the Park; near the palaces of the king and the prince. A great number of them were kil led during their retieat Our citizeus waited for them as ttmy came out of the houses, and fired on them with muskets as they passed An immense crowd proceeded at dAy break to the places abandoned by these cowardly incendiaries. These places pre sented ouly a vast scene of desolation and carnage. I'he alleys of the Paik are dyed with nlood, ami several corpse, horribly muiiliated, and stripped, have been foigoi teu by the enemy, aud lie at the the foot of the passage haruiy covered with a few bran ches of trees, fiagoients of iron railing, and of statutes, destroyed by the grape shot, lie on all the roads. Piie carcases of six ar tillery horses have been placed by tile ene my as a redoubt at the Park gate, oppsite the staircase library. Ilead-Q lifters, Sept. 27, half past 5 a. M. To the members ot the Provisional Gov ernment. Gentlemen : The enemy, whose deplora ble state of demoralisation was doubtless completed by the warm action yesterday, Iras felt a longer resistance to be impossi ble, aud has just abandoned our walls.— Tne hero'C Biiuselsi* fine!

Brussels, S< pt. 28.—Among the persons who have fallen victims to the fury of the Dutch soldiers we may mention Lord B -ntyre,, whj was killed in his hotel iu ttie Rut Royale. It was on the 24m when the cir.xens made themselves rnasteis of that hotel that he met his death We are assured that Lord Blautyre was a General 'Officer iu the English service. His fami ly, consisting of ten children found menus to escape. It is positively affirm'd that (he Dutch troops were guilty of the most biutal ex cesses iu au English boarding school in tins city, where there are many young persons "fthe fiiat English families. Energetic complaints liaue been sent lo Loudon upon tins fact, as well as of the honors commit ted by those Vaudals m the hotel of the British Ambassador. DEFECTION • F THE TROOPS AT OsTENO On Sunday night, (Sept. 26m) a serious disturbance took place at Osteud, in con sequence of a tumultuous assemblage of die Bourgeois; who insisted upuu hoisting the Brabant flag: the troops were called out, hut felt more disposed to assist, than qoell the rioters and great acts of insubordination were the consequence.—The mob increas ed every instant, aud to a most alarming extent, when the soldiers weie directed to fire they did so, but it was in the air; and ouly a casualty or two occurred, for had the shots been ditected against the popu lace, the slaughter would have been im mense. An attempt was afterwards made to seize the arms of the military, who were tame enough to submit—but they were sub sequently relinquished. Thing* continued in the most feverish state until last night, when the Brabant fl-ig was hoisted without opposition. In tho course of the night, our packet people were called from their births, with a request that they would pioceed to sea with ail possible despatch, as soon as the steam of the packet could be got up, with principal officers of the military ami other departments as they expected io lose their ■' lives. About forty officers came on board, ! with all the principal valuables they pos- 1 sessed which they thtew into the picket j pell-mell, aud money was rolling about ihe I decks in all directions j the packet went! in to the Roads to wait tor thu Liverpool steam vessel w hicli at tho time there was not water out; fbi as soon as she came out ! the packet transferred her cargo, and the i Liverpool proceeded to Flushing, with a- j bout ono hundred and fifty Dutch officers, | their families, and persons of distinction, ! who had fled in consequence ol the bohiieii refu-iirig lo act against tiie insurgents; The Dutch officers wero in eminent danger of being sacrificed to the poufitr fu<y. Our packet upon receiving her mails, came a way. The Brussels mail, which had not ar rived for a weak, icached Osteud this morning. On Tuesday the 2S:h, there was a rising .»f tho populace, when all the troops in the garrison of 'he Osteud amounting from 1 500 to 2,ooomen, matched out of their , quarters, assembled m the grand Place, and, to a man, laid down iheir arms. The sub- ( sequent details of this most important event i are accurate y stated by our Dover corres pondent. Commotions at Ghent —Troubles have broken out iu a quarter of the Netherlands which was supposed to be warmly attached to the reigug dynasty. By a fetter wnicii has just beer) received from Glieut, it appears that late on the evening of Tuesday lasi, groups of persons were observed in diffeieut parts of the city, and expressions of an inflammatory naiuru were loudly uttered. At this particular moment a party <>t the military had received orders to proceed to the office of the C itb olique, a Journal inimical lo the govern ment for the purpose of pitventing its fur ther publication. It is stated in the letter,- that, to the as tonishmeut of the officer in command of this detuclimeul. he found iu the composing room of tho establishment three Noblemen of influence in the city—one of them hold ing an unpoitaul post in tho Burg her Gu ird aud possessing tiio keys of the city armoury; actively co-operating in bringing out the paper. This interference of the military occasioned great sensation, but the letter having been sent off iu haste no furtner particulars have reached us. There is great reason to fear that the next accents will be ot a deplorable and uiunieni'ous kind.

Them is a paragraph iu .in Temps ol this date, respecting a rumored note to the French government, by some of the great Powers of Europe, which if authentic is of great interest. It is said they have requested the coiicurrebce ol tbe French government, to tho garnsouing tiie fortress of the Netherlands with Piussiau troops. The reply is stated uot to have transpired But if we are lo believe our Correspondent, who is so situated as to be acquainted with the general views of the French Cabinet, the intervention of foreign States in the affms of thb Netherlands will not be submitted lo by die French Ministry, who are reported to have said, that their views of policy aud correctness on this sub ject would not prevail agamst tho uutioual feelings, and that their own safety would be | compromised by adopting the principle re commended to litem by the Gieat Powcis. i We cannot vouch for tho authenticity ol this repori, but tho present state of Frauen, it is too probable. A silting of lire soeie'y called Friends of the people, was announced for tho previous evening, notwithstanding a resolution which was uot unanimous, had been passed to hold no more meetings; It was presented by the Nutiuttal Guard, who niused ad mittance to the member-. The .position of things in Palis was uneasy An anticipated rup'ure amoug the ministers had broker) out, and was partially quieted.

Tho packet ship Brie, at New York, ou the 4'h iust. fiem 11-. vi., furnishes files to the9ih October, lutiusivt ; so that our accounts from London Liver pool aud Paris, are at this time upon a par. Tho intelligence thus furnished, does uot of itself, afford any satisfaction, inasmuch as id tends rather to inflidre than to allay anxiety. In relation to France, about the new government of which country the most anxiety appears to be h it, it is tube feared thu; the pn sent commotions in Belgium will do some injury. They may involve her in a war for which, iu the present stato of her financial condition,she is entirely unprepar ed. A period of res', may be also held essential to the political frame, after the post excitement which it has been compel led to undergo At present,* affairs remain quiet mid temperate; and hopes are entertained that the tempe-t now raging in her neighborhood, uiay leave her free and untroubled. On this subject, the journals agree that chances are fair for a favoring destiny. The French Revolution, say they cannot reckon a single enemy upon tiie face of the globe. There are some important and serious questions b' foie the cabinets of Europe’ but none that give rise to the least apprehension of a recourse to aims. Diplom acy is resorted to with perfect anted.

The subject of Franklin Univorsiiy is found to, be one of engrossing interest during ho present session of the Legilature. The late dcStritt-'iee of the College edifice hy fire, has called foran-vv appropriation from the Treasury to sns am stat institution; itissaid much opposition is !i., * ted not only to the proposed appropriation iu par ticular, hut to the College itself, Ly many indirid uals in both branches of the Legislature. F* curative , although we are friendly to the ca'ise of education generally, yet we have doubted tha justice, us well as policy, of making heavy appro, priations iri favor of an institution, whose id, u»- tagcscan only lie participated in by tho wealthy— until more has been done, in favor of those school# which extend their benefits more generally to the great body of tho people. None but tho wealth* can participate in the privileges of a college edu cation ; and yet the rich are able to educate liietr children without legislative assistance. Tim tree aury of the stato is the property of the great body of the poople. And it seems to us unjust to ap propriate it f. r the exclusive benefit of a parti cular class ; and that class, standing in no need ot all of assistance. The rich are always able ta take caro of themselves. If the Legislature re ally wish to benefit the cause of education, would it not be fur more expedient, to build up a system of Free Sihools, which would carry the nidi men's of scicnts within every man’s reach, ex.end ; the more useful and necessaiy branches of insirup, j t * on t 0 cv °ry man's door, and give every .-lass, j the poor as well as the rich, an opportunity pf sharing m its advantages—than to undertake, j "*' h thi " general fund, to raise ono splendid in stitution, w hich must from its nature, sh>d it* i onf V within a very narrow sphore. \Ye of course, should like to soo out stato have a Cour j lsllin 2 c °ffege—but that, it appears to ns, stoold rather be considered as the finishing, tho decora tion, of the great system of public education, thka as tho foundation. Perhaps our ideas on this bul-Jfrct may be lHu*. trated by an anecdote. The congregation of a cortain village, once on s J time, convened for the purposo of building x church. Old Grimes, tha School-master, got op, and said, for his part, he was-Jetermiiiod to sup port religion, and he wished all tho world to snow that he was in fuvor of religion ; and he *h mid go m the whole amount, for the church ; and he mov. ed that the congregation should appropriate the sum of $ 10,DUO for tho purpose of erecting • eleeple; and in the steeple said he, we will hang & bell, and in the there shall be a great clapper, whose reverberations shall reach tha remote* corners of tho town: Tims said lie, all tha world will be convinced that the town of Gotham ij de termined to support the church. And tho congregation highly applauded the *eaj and munificence of the school-master, and cried out ior the steeple, and the bell and the clap, per. But old Rustv, tho carpenter, got up fk sard, be doubted not but all thoso things were very appro priate. He did not deny the use of the t Upper the bell or the steeple ; but for his part, he lilted to commence at tho bottom of things. He would first see the foundations laid; go up with tho walls, nnd then they might erect tho steeple, ami hang the bell and the clapper, with the utmost propriety But, said he, if wo exhaust all our monoy in the erection of the steeple, what will become of the body ot tho church itself. I shall oppose this ap propriation of SIO,OOO for tho steople. T hen there was a great clamor raised old Rusty One suid ho was unfriendly to the church, and opposed to religion ; another that be was an infidel; an atheisf, a pagan, a hottentot a turlc! And they drove him out of the congre gation with violence and rioiso. So the wiso men of Go'ham resolved, in order to manifest their zeal for the "church, to* expend their last dollar, in tho erection of a great .steeple* with a great bell, and a great clapper But whether the eteeplu ever finished, «nd whether it ever stood alone,' y altogether uncer tain, as our inibrmant left those parts just as Mr. Grimes, the worthy school-master had made his ninety-ninth descent into the strong box, and is* ported a total ai;d unaccountable ovsjtsraU*# ilia contents
