     On Thursday last, in the 30th year of

     Via United States, by the brig Cordelia, 
     
     which arrived at Halifax on the 7th, 
     
     bringing Boston papers to the lst inst., 
     
     containing London dates up to the 11th of 
     
     November, and French to the 17th same 
     
     month. 
     
    

    
     The Belgian Legislative chambers com- 
     
     menced their session on the 14th Nov. The 
     
     following is an extract from King Leopold’s 
     
     Speech. ‘ 
     
    

    
     After long delays, less injurious ‘howuer to 
     
     the interests of the country than might be ap- 
     
     prehended, the moment has at last arrived, 
     
     whenl can comply with the wishes of the 
     
     Chambers and the .Nation by leading the 
     
     powers who were guarantees of the treaty of 
     
     the 5th November, to ensure its execution. 
     
     Those powers have acquired the certainty 
     
     that in longer abstaining from adopting mea- 
     
     sures, they would place Belgium in the abso- 
     
     lute nccessity of doing herself justice, were 
     
     unwilling to incur the risk of a general war. 
     
     Unitedbya formal convention, two ofthenrhave 
     
     engaged to begin the execution of the treaty, 
     
     by the immediate evacuation of our territory. 
     
     The fleets of France and England will fetter the 
     
    
   
   
    
     commerce of Holland, and if these means of 
     
    
   
   
    
     coercion are not suflicient, in two days a 
     
     French army will advance without troubling 
     
     the peace of Europe, to prove that the gua. 
     
     rautees given, are not vain words. 
     
    

    
     Paris. .Noe. 9—Yesterday, at one o’clock, th e 
     
     Government received intelligence that the 
     
     Duchess of Berri was arrested at Nantes, on 
     
     Wednesday. at ten o‘clock in the morning. 
     
     she was faund concealed in a house in the rue 
     
     Haute deChatue. with theCount de Menars, Mlle 
     
     Kersablec, and M. Guibour. The house was 
     
     under search several hours before her re. 
     
     treat was discovered, but at last it was found 
     
     that the cast iron back of one of the fire 
     
     places turned upon a pivot, and gave entrance 
     
     to a small room, behind which formed the asy- 
     
     lum for the Duchess and her companions. 
     
     She was immediately conducted to the Castle 
     
     of Nantes. where she was detained under the 
     
     keeping ofthe National Guards and the garri- 
     
     son troops. 
     
    

    
     Paris. Nov. 15.—The Moniteur contains the 
     
     following:-Conformably to the Convention 
     
     concluded on the 8d October last, between 
     
     France and England, the army ofthc North, un- 
     
     der the ordersnf Marshal Gerard, has passed 
     
     the frontiers this day. the 15th November, di- 
     
     recting its march on the citadel of Antwerp, 
     
     to ensure the delivery of it, to H. M. the King 
     
     of the Belgians.

     quarters of the French army on Friday eve. 
     
    
   
   
    
     THE BRITISH AMERICAN. 
     
    
   
   
    
     ning, and who had an opportunity of frequent- 
     
     ly conversing with Marshal Gerard, relates to 
     
     us that the commander of the French army 
     
     spoke openly of the probability of a conflict 
     
     with Prussia, in consequence ofthe entrance 
     
     of the army into Belgium. It appears that the 
     
     Marshal has instructions with a view to an 
     
     engagement with the Prussians, and that a plan 
     
    
   
   
    
     their interference. 
     
    

    
     This paragraph furnishes a he to the ar' 
     
     raugements made on those points 0 our frontier 
     
     adjoining Prussia, and to the rapidity of which 
     
     many regiments are marching thither. _It Is 
     
     said that three corps of observation Will be 
     
     simultaneonfly formed. One on the Manse, 
     
     the other on the Mossella, and the third on 
     
     the Rhine. General Pelet, who will certain- 
     
     ly have the command of the division of the 
     
     Meuse, will have Colonel Mohue as head of his 
     
     general stafl'. 
     
    
   
   
    
     The London dates of the 11th, on the 
     
     subject of Holland, it is said new attempts 
     
     have been made by the Government to a- 
     
     pen negociations, but as their object was 
     
     merely to gain time, they had been unsuc- 
     
     cessful. 
     
    

    
     On the l5th. the Duchess de Berri, arri- 
     
     ved at Bordeaux, and was conducted from 
     
     thence to her place of imprisonment at 
     
     Blaye. The greatest respect appears to 
     
     have been shown her by the government 
     
     officers. 
     
    

    
     A general illumination had taken place 
     
     at Maliga, in consequence of the release 
     
     in that place of the priso:.ers to whom the 
     
     Decree of Amnesty applied for political 
     
     offences committed during the recent ill- 
     
     ness of the King. * 
     
    
   
   
    
     A Dutch East Indiaman which entered 
     
    
   
   
    
     been detained there . 
     
    

    
     It is stated in one of the London papers 
     
     that intelligence had reached Lloyd’s in 
     
     the course of the day, that a large Russian 
     
     squadron had actually entered the Scheldt. 
     
     The French Admiral’s ship and other ves- 
     
     sels of the squadron scattered in the gale 
     
     had arrived at Dover. . (Later accounts 
     
     are silent on the subject.) 
     
    

    
     A letter written from on board a Dutch 
     
     gun boat stationed in the Scheldt, says : 
     
    

    
     We are expecting herethe arrival of the 
     
     Anglo, French fleet ; however, I do not 
     
     believe that they will ever venture into 
     
     this river, where every foot they advance 
     
     will be disputed, and that at least they 
     
     cannot penetrate further than Fort Batz, 
     
     which is the Straits of Thermopyla of the 
     
     Scheldt. 
     
    

    
     There is no news of interest from Portu- 
     
    

    
     al . 
     
    

    
     There is reason to hope that the report 
     
     of the loss of the frigate Constellation is 
     
     unfounded. 
     
    

    
     The American charge d’afi'airs in Lon- 
     
     don has been notified that the blockade in- 
     
     stituted by the combined fleets of France 
     
     and England, of the rts of Holland, 
     
    
   
   
    
       
     
    
   
   
    
     would only affect Dutchovessels, and that 
     
    
   
   
    
     of campaign has been laid down in case of 
     
    
   
   
    
     Cowes in ignorance of the embargo, had . 
     
    
   
   
    
       
     
    
   
   
    
         
     
           
     
           
     
         
     
       
     
        
     
        
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     its 
     
     the ingres and egress would be per-mm 
     
     to vessels of all other nations, unless am 
     
     of open war should ensue, in which en 
     
     it might be necessary to blockade 
     
     coast strictly.

     The President’s Proclamation has cm. 
     
     ted the greatest excitement in South Cg. 
     
     rolina ; the Legislature have come toth. 
     
     resolution of repellin force by force, and 
     
     a Bill has been intro! nced declaring it “g. 
     
     tony without benefit of Clergy, to be foundfi, 
     
     arms agamst the State.” 
     
    

    
     We make the following extracts from 
     
     the Proclamation of GOVernor Hayne . 
     
    

    
     “Whereas the President of the United 
     
     States hath issued his Proclamation, con. 
     
     earning an ‘ Ordinance of the people ofSoutlt 
     
     Carolina, to nullify certain acts of the 
     
     Congress of the United States.’ layingI 
     
     ‘ duties and imposts for the protection of 
     
     domestic manufactures._’ . 
     
    

    
     And Whereas, the Legislature of South 
     
     Carolina, now in session, taking into consi- 
     
     deration,the matters contained in the said 
     
     Proclamation of the President, have a- 
     
     dopted a Preamble and Resolution’to the 
     
     following efl‘ect, viz : - 
     
    

    
     “ Whereas, the President of the United 
     
     States has issued his Proclamation denoun- 
     
     cing the proceedings of this State, calling 
     
     upon the citizens thereof to renounce their 
     
     primary allegiance, and threatening them 
     
     with military coercion, unwarranted by the 
     
     constitution, and utterly inconsistent with 
     
     the existence of a free State, be it, there- 
     
     fore. 
     
    

    
     Resolved, that his Excellency the Go- 
     
     vernor be requested, forthwith, to issue his 
     
     Proclamation warning the good people of 
     
     this State against the attempt of the Pre- 
     
     sident of the United States to seduce them 
     
     from their allegiance, exhorting them to 
     
     disregard his vain menaces, and to be pre. 
     
     pared to sustain the dignity, and protect 
     
     the liberty of the State, against the arbi- 
     
     trary measures proposed by the Presi- 
     
     dent.” 
     
    

    
     Now I, Rosen'r Y. Hams, Governor 
     
     of South Carolina, in obedience to the ‘ 
     
     said Resolution, do hereby issue this my L 
     
     Proclamation, solemnly warning the good - 
     
     people of this State against the dangerous 1 
     
     and pernicious doctrine promulgated in the H 
     
     said Proclamation of the President, as cal- 1 
     
     culated to mislead their judgments as to ,x 
     
     the true character of the Government uni a 
     
     der. which they live, and the paramount e 
     
     obligation which they owe to _the State, ‘ 
     
     and manifestly intended to seduce them Q 
     
     from their allegiance-find by drawing them_ 
     
     to the support, ofthe violent and unlawful. 
     
     measures contemplated by the President to 
     
     involve them in the guilt of Rebellion. I 
     
     would earnestly admonish them to beware 
     
     0f the specious but false doctrines by Wthll 
     
     it is now attempted to be shown that the
