cJ and lucceeded in driving the Dutch troops from the park in Brussels and the neighborhood, and that the town was free. A letter from Brussels of the 27ih says, that the troops of prince Frederick have been beaten on all sides, and that the Belgian inhabitants are everywhere arming against the Dutch. The fortress of Mons is in the power of the Belgian inhabitants, who have attacked Ath, and, assisted by the inhabitants of that place, have made themselves masters of the garrison who have laid down their arms The same success has just taken place at Tournay. F. om the Courier des Paus Bas cf Tuesday, Srfit 28. biiussrls, Sept. 27. Our readers arc inlormed that till fur

ther notice the provincial government will communicate its official news thro the medium of the Courier des Pay Bas. Victory 1 The hordes of brigands who, under the name of soldiers, had penetrated into our walls, have been forced to abandon them this night. The desperate engagement yesterday pioved to them that it was impossible to enter Brussels in spite of its iuhabitants. Our artillery, the command of which has been, since Friday, confided to an experienced officer, yesterday made a great slaughter of our barbarous enomies. The commander had found a favorable position from which he directed his artillery to the lower grounds of the park, where the Dutch had taken refuge. Our sharp shooters, more eager and more numerous than the day belore, seconded the artillery with the greatest success. The firing had never been more brisk than between 1 1 and 3 o clock in the afternoon It was impossi ble for an army even twice so numerous as that which was combatlcd to resist such attacks. The firing continued until 6 o'clock as en the preceding days, but gradually abated after 3 o'clock. I he soldiers fled successively ttom the only houses which they .i copied towards the states general, and took refuge in the lower grounds of the park, near the palaces of the king and the prince. A great number of th-m were killed during their retteat Our citizens waited for them as they came cut of the houses, and fired on them with muskets as ihey pissed. At 6 oclock the fire had caught the houses in the vicinity of the palace. At the beginning of the night this fire (of which we shall give some particulars below) illuminated the whole place before the paik. The volunteers of Charlefroi, Gossilies, and other towns, who were soon joined by several Bruxellois stationed themselves near the hotel de Belle Vue, and thence fired upon the sol diers, who still escaped from the palaces. At length, about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, all the Dutch who escaped the carnage of the day effected their complete retreat from our walls. An immense crowd proceeded at daybreak to the places abandoned by these cowardly incendiaries. These places presented only a vast scene of desolation and carnage The alleys of the park tire dyed with blood, and several corpses horribly mutilated, and stripped, have been forgotten by the enemy, and lie at the feet of the passages hardly covered with a few branches of trees, fragments of iron railing, and of statues, destroyed by the giape shot, lie on all the roads The carcases of six artillery horses have been placed by the enemy as a redoubt at the park gate, opposite the stair case of the library The wing of the Palace usually occurled by prince Frederick, the hotel de 23e!le Vue, the coffeehouse de PAmitie, arc pierced every where with musket & cannon balls ; the same is the case with all the houses of the Montague du Pare, and a great part of those in the Rue Rovale. The people, and a great number of volunteers in arms, this morning at 7 o'clock, were in all the avenues of the park and the adjacent streets ; and sol diers, either deserters or prisoners, are now in great numbers in eery quarter Mr. de Hoogverst, who was going to the palace, having appeared among the crowd, was received with huzzas and cries of liberty forever 1 It is impossi ble to describe the intoxication of joy of all the population, at length delivered Irom their barbarous invaders. The palaces on which the standard of Brabant is hoisted are guarded by posts of volunteers well armed; the commander "Don Ju3n d'Hulep, removed his head quarter thither this morning. We are Jnformed that measures are taken vigo i ously to pursue the enemy, who have already withdrawn to the distance of more thsn two leagues from the city. Two notices were posted up yesterday, 'one announcing that to prevent the dangers which might arise from the fall of a shell into the gas works the gas will be drawn off The citizens are requested to place lights in their windows to prevent the city from being involved in darkness ( The request was complied with, and the city well lighted by the citizens ) The other notice was to the effect, that in the present critical state of at fairs, the provisional government was constituted as follows Baron Vanderjnden Hnoverst ; Chevalier R gier, ad vocatc in the tribunal of Liegr ; Count j ieiiRUV Muro 'e; Gcndebien, advocate in the tribunal f Brussels; Lvlvain de Wcycr, ditto ; Jolly t late officer of en-Cheers-, Joseph Vanderlindeo, treasu

rer ; J- Nicholay, advocate, and F. de

Coppin, secretaries. All these gentlemen accepted their functions. The following has been published this morning ; "Head quarters, Sept. 27, half past 5, A.M. "To the members of the Provincial Government. "Gentlemen The enemy, whose deplorable state of demoralization was doubtless completed by the warm action j yesterday, has felt a longer resistance to j be impossible, and has just abandoned j our walls. The heroic Brussels is free I The park Sc all th,c gates are occupied by our brave men. Major Palmaeit, my fltstaid de-tamp, is appointed governor of the Palaces. "The temaikable facts that have signalized this day are so numerous, and my occupations so many, that it is not possible lor me to give you all the necessary details of the glorious event. As soon as I have leisuie, one of my first cares, as my dearest duties, will be to acquaint you with the services rendered by many generous citizens, many of whom have purchased our memorable victory with their blood. One of the losses which I must regret is, that of my aid de-camp, Barcn Fellner, who fell yesterday while leading one of our detachments sword in hand to the attack of La Magdelaine, a position so dangeious and so long disputed "To morrow there will be a general review of our active force. 4 The Commander-in Chief. JUAN VAN HALEN." Victory must not hinder us from ta king measures for our security. Now barricades are raising in the New Roy ale, where three pieces of cannon are to be planted. However when the men of the north go and relate in their matches how the Belgians have received them, we may believe that those heroes will iose a little ot their warlike ardor, and that they will not again venture to ap pear befote us. Wc were mistaken when we announced yesteiday that the palace of ti e states general was burnt; it was the adjoining houses that were burnt. The lire caused by a bomb, in the house of counsellor Grcndl, was immediately extinguished. The wretches who have left our city during the night, shot before their departure, ail the loreigners whom they had taken prisoners during the six days of the combat which has just ended Several Frenchmen fell victims to their rage. An army of Tartars would net have behaved with more cruelly and brutality than the Dutch soloiers. To fire and pillage they have added rape and assassination. Many houses in the Rue Vesta and the adjacent streets, are mentioned as the scenes of such excesses. Numerous detachments of prisoners and deserters increase trom all quarters ; they wear at their button holes the tri colored ribband of Brabant, and cries of "Liberty forever !" raised as they pass, is repeated by them with enthusiasm This morning, at 8 o'clock, the peo pie went to the house of Mr Frcdk Means In a moment the whole house was pillaged ; the furniture thrown info the street arid burnt. The house was then set on fire, and is now burning with great fury We hope it will not s each the adjoining houses Thiw act of popular vengeance is ascribed to various motives. We do nol know what to think of it. From Lf Delge Sffit. 29. Brussels, Sefit 28 Among the per sons who have fallen victims to the fury of the Dutch soldiers we may mention lord Blantyte, who was killed in the hotel in the Rue Royale. It was on the 24th when the citizens made themselves masters of that hotel, that he met his death. We are assured that brd Blan tyre was a general oilicer in the English service. His family, consisting of ten children found means to escape. It is positively affirmrd that the Dutch troops were guilty of the most brutal excesses in an English boarding school in this city, where there are many young persons of the first English families. Energetic complaints have been sent to London upon this fact, as well as of the horrors committed by those Vandals in the hotel of the British ambassador. London, Sept. 30. Persons worthy of credit, who left Brussels yesterday, add some details to the preceding news. Several times through the day the. citizens attacked the national troops stationed in the park ; they were always repulsed. They twice penetrated into the palace of the states general, on the side next the street of Louvain They were driven from it by the grenadiers of the guards, who are all Belgians, Several engage ments took place till a late hour in the night. About I I o'clock the citizens ceased their attacks, leaving the troops J masters ol (he ground It was not till 4 o'clock in the morning that the troops marched out to take up new positions without the city First the infantry, then the artillery Sc cavalry, filed off in the best order. It was not till near 6 o'clock that the citizens discovered the departure of the army, which they have celebrated as a victory. They have set fire to the bcau'ilul house of M. Means, in Rue Royale, and the ancient hotel of this finance, after having pillaged and despoiled these houses from the lop to ihe bottom. It is said they have set fire to some other liousts, the owners of which as thev said.

ihad not embraced their cause with sufil

cient ardour. DEFECTION OF THE TROOPS AT OSTEX& The following is a summary of the latest intelligence from Ostend : On Sunday night, (Sept. 26th)a serious disturbance took place at Ostend, in consequence of a tumultuous assemblage ot the Bourgeois, who insisted upon hoisting the Brabant flag : the troops were called out, but felt more disposed to assist, than quell the rioters, and great acts of insubordination were the consequence. The mob increased every instant, and to a most alarming extent, when the soldiers were directed to fire they did so, but it was in the air ; and only a casualty or two occurred, for had the shots been directed against the populace, the slaughter would have been immense. An attempt was afterwards made to seize the arms of the military, who were tame enough to sumit but they were subsequently relinquished. Things continued in the most feverish state until last night, when the Brabant flag was hoisted without opposition. In the course of the night, our packet people were called from their births, with a request that they would proceed to sea as soon as the steam of the packet should be got up, with the principal of ficers of the military and other depart ments, as they expected to lose theii lives- About forty officers came on board, with all the principal valuables they possessed, which bey threw into the packet pell mell, and money was rollii g about the decks in all directions, the pocktt went into the loads to wait for the Liverpool steam vessel, ' hichat the lime there was not water out fGr ; as soon as she came out the packet tians lened her cao, and the Liverpool pro cceded to Flushing, with about 150 Dutch officers, their families, and per sons of distinction, who had fled in conscquer.ee of the soldiers refusing to act against the insurgents. The Dutch cfii ceisvvcrc in the imminent (lar ger of be int sacrificed to the popular fury. Our j packet, upon rc( civil g her mails, came away. i ne Jurusstis mail, wnich had not arrived for a week, reached 0.-lcrd this morning. On Tuesday the 28th there was a ri sing of the populace, w hen all the troops in the gaitison of Ostend. amounting from 1.5C0 to 2,000 men, matched out of their quaitets, asseu bled in the gram'e place, arid to a man laid down iheir arms. The subsequent details oi this most important event are r.ccurate'y stated by our Dover correspondent. COMMOTIONS AT GHENT. The Courier of the 30th September in a second edition, gives the Icliowii .: telligence from Ghent : We arc sorry to announce that n oblcs have broken out in a quarter ol the Netherlands, which was supposed to be warmly attached to the reigning dyr.as'y By a letter which has jusi been received from Ghent, it appears z late on the evening of Tuesday last,gioups of pet sons were discovered in dfTc i cnt pa ts of the city; and cxpt e-ssh t s of an irfiunmatory nature were loudly uttered At this particular moment a pan of the military had received orders to proceed to the effice of the Catholique, a journal inimical to ihe government, for the purpose of preventing its further publication. It is stated in the letter, that to the astonishment of the ofiic r in command of this detachment he found in the composing room of the establishment three noblemen of influence in the city one of them holding an important post in the Burgher guard, and possessing the kcjs of the city armory, actively ro operating in bringing out the paper. This interference of the military occasioned great sensation, but the letter having been sent off in haste, no further particulars have leached us. There is great reason to fear that the next accounts will be of a deplorable and momentous kind. DISTURBANCES IN BERLIN. There have been disturbances in Berlin, cf a mere serious character than the official Gazette of the government was allowed to publish. A letter from Frankfort says : "It was not merely an assemblage of journeymen tailors, but a meeting of more than 20,000 persons, who loudly called for the Constitution promised in 1814. The armed force received or ders to fire upon the crowd; the troops of the line refused, it is said, to act against their fellow citizens, but the royal guards executed the order ; 60 individuals were killed or wounded. The crowd in dispersing, loudly demanded the constitution. The same letter adds that new riots had broken out at Hesse Cassel,and the elector had been fired at in his carriage ; he is said to have been wounded." FROM FRANCE- I M TOUT A N'T. Pans papers are to the 27th inst. inclusive There is a paragraph in the temps of 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 concuri ence ol the French government, to gar r issoning the Fortresses of the Netherlands with Prussian troops. The reply is stated not to have transpired but it w e are to 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 allYus of the Netherlands will not be submitted to by the French Ministry, who arc reported to have tuiJ, that th;ir;

i views of policy and correctr.ssi cn this

subject would not prevail against the national feeling, and that their own safety would be compromised by adopting ihe principle recommended to them by the Great Powers. We cannot vcuch for authenticity of this report, but in the present state of France, it is but too probable. The latest intelligence from France is contained in a letter dated September 28th, published in the London Courier. A sitting of the society called Friends of the People, was announced for the previous evening, notwithstanding are solution which was not unanimous had been passed to hold no more meetings. It was presented by the National Guatd, who rpfllCl aflmitcinn ti tf rticmllPf, The position of things in Paris was uneasy. An anticipated i upture among the Ministers had broken cut, and was partially quieted. The most dangerous question agitated, was the accutation of the Ex Ministers. It was thought it would now be impossible to save them It was said the embassador of Louis Phillip to :he Court of Spain had met wiih an indifferent reception. In the Chamber of Deputies on the 28th, the articles of accusation were successively voted by lare majorities, impeaching the Ministsrsof high treason. The highest total number of votes was 297 RISING AT BRUGES. On the 26thot September, in corse quence of the procete.ii gs at Bu-seis, the populace ot Bugc rose ami noisted the national colors. The Burghers, to prevent a coi fiici between the troops and the people, subsequently ejected thtiu selves to maintain tiai quiiity, and on ptomising to preserve older, induced the Commandant to wi'hdiaw his troops, and to proceed with them to Ostend 1 here is a report that the people of Ath have made themselves masters of the fortifications, and that the troops bid down their aims. It is added that the same thing took place at Tournay. Extract of a letter, dated Lohdou, 20th Stfit 1830, to a commercial house in this city "T he accounts from Belgium are vei y gloomy.
