T LONDON, AUG. 20. ^aPs papers to Thursday bring the conclusion of I the debates in the Chamber- of Deputies on the Ad- ress in reply to the King's Speech, which, after a protracted oqo Je»7 V1°lent discussion, was carried by a majority of ^S2 to 73—the result of which is generally looked upon in J/aris as a fresh guarantee for the continuance of peace- peace, however, to be maintained at the sacrifice of poor de- serted Poland. Hostilities between the Belgians and Dutch have entirely ceased. The Prince of Orange, in the" Order of the Day" 1, e issued to the Dutch army from his head-quarters at LOllvain, extols the two victories at Hasselt and Louvain gained by the brave troops under his command; and concludes by stating, that in consequence of an arrangement made by their Sovereign with the King of the French, "whose (I- vanced posts touch ours," they should return to their old ter- ritory with honour.-The Dutch army commenced its re- treat from Louvain on Monday, piiiaging everything in its progress; but was expected to reach their own territory on i hursday. Leopold returned to Brussels on Tuesday, where he was greeted with cries of Vive le Roi! and the greatest satisfaction was stiewii by all classes at his safety. Though disappointed and disgusted with the issue of the short and inglorious campaign which had nearly endangered his per- sonal liberty and his power, he still evinces his determina- tion to devote himself and his experience to the advance- ment of that country s good over which he has been called to govern. It appears by the Belgian Journals that the Go- vernment, now fully convinced of its weakness, and fearful of another invasion on the part of Holland, openly states its intention to obtain the delay of the Frend,PfrJP8 until a- peoce be concluded. The Dutch fleet near Antwerp has made a retiograde movement, like the army. The gun-boats have gone down the river, so as to be no longer in view of thatcty. It is also said that the four smallllelgian trading vessels, taken last week by the Dutch steam-boat 011 the Scheldt, have been lestored. The cause of Donna Maria, the young Queen of Portugal is slowly, but securely making way Official accounts have been received of the capture of the Island of St. Michael's the last and richest of the Azores, by the troops of the Por- tuguese Regency, under the command of Count Villa Flor on the 4th inst., when the island captulated after a resistance of two days, although provided with 2000 regular troops, 1500 militia, and a fine train of artillery, whilst the whole force of the Constitutionalists did not exceed 1600 men. The loss of yount Villa Flor s troops, in killed and wounded, amounts to 40 men and three officers; that of the Miguelites to 350 killed and wounded, and the rest made prisoners. The accounts from Lisbon to the 30th ult. clearly indicate that a c) isis is at hand. Don Miguel has shu t himself up in his palace at Queluz, with a guard of about 3000 men who comprise all upon whom he supposes he can rely tor protec- tion. He has forbidden the Council to meet, on account of the unwillingness of some of its members to second his tyran- nical views; and in the short space of a fortnight immediately preceding these accounts, more than one thousand additional victims had been immured in his dungeons. At Lisbon a considerable number of troops had been assembled, but they were of the most incongruous description, and continual quarrels took place between the regular soldiers and the royalist volunteers. The Usurper had orde, ed a levy of all persons capable of bearing arms above the age of sixteen • this measure, although it may increase his numerical force' must expose him to great danger, as the levy will necessarily include many unfavourable to his cause. The greater part of the French squadron remained in the Tagus. Five ships out of the eleven, however, have sailed the reason of the protracted stay was a reference of some points of the dispute to the Frenchgovernment. The usurpation of the monster," thus attacked abroad and at home, must, it is strongly to be hoped, be soon put an end to. of Sir Edward Codrin-ton Channel with a fine breeze, at north. Th,°y nassed Dover about three o'clock. The Morning Chronicle of this day says—"We regret to learn that there are serious divisions in the Cabinet on the subject of some of the recent alterations in the Reform Bili. We trust Ministers will bear in mind, on an occasion like this, their paramount duty to their country, and what the consequences might be of allowing disagreement among themselves to deprive the people of a measure from which so much is reasonably expected." The Courier, after quoting the above, adds—" We are happy to state that our contemporaay has been misinformed. There are no divisions in the Cabinet on the subject of the Reform Bill. All the Ministers are sensible of the impor- tance of union for their country's welfare, and will steadily adhere to the great principles upon which their administra- tion was founded, and which they have steadily and mag- nanimously maintained." The Irish Members had a meeting yesterday with Mr. Stanley, on the subject of the disarming of the yeomanry, when the Right Hon. Member explained to them the nature of his projected alterations with regard to this force, of which the deputation expressed their disapprobation; though they courteously added, that, for the present, they would do nothing that might have the effect of embarrassing the Government. His Grace the Archbishop of Dublin (Dr. Magee) died at his Palace in Dublin on Thursday morning last. It was generally expected there that the Bishop of Cloyne (Dr. Brenkley), would succeed to the vacant Archbishopiic On Wednesday a bronze statue was erected in Hanover- square, to the memory of the late Right Honourable William Pitt, on a pedestal composed of the best Scotch granite, sixteen feet in height, exclusive of the statue, which is ten feet high, and weighs upwards of four tons. Mr Chantry is the sculptor. Among the list of Irish Bankrupts appears the name of the well known Sir Abraham Bradley King, Bart, late King's Stationer, of Dublin. Mr. Cobbett's admirers in Manchester are holding weekly meetings, for the purpose of effecting his return as one of the representatives of that town, in the event of the Reform Bill passing into law. At the Chester Assizes, John Hampson and Martha Moore were indicted, the former for inciting Thomas Goulden, of Stockport, surgeon, to the murder of a new-born male child 9 on the 16th of May last, and the latter for aiding and abet- ting Goulden therein. Goulden was tried on a similar charge at the last Spring assizes, and narrowly escaped a conviction. The coroner's jury in this case returned a verdict of wilful murder against him, but he absconded. The part ctilars of the charge have already been sufficiently before the public they were fully proved in evidence. The prisoners were found "guilty" of the offence, "but not knowing that the woman was quick with child," and they were sentenced to fourteen years' transportation.
