Their decrees are not respected ; and some times when the laws intended for a season of ttoubie are applied in a period of peace and tranquillity, these decree: are slolated by public sedition. The press is approaching a better state in Belgium, and by to., sure a path, to seek a triumph in popular violence. A good, speech in opposition is mole efficacious than breaking the windows of M. Van Maestro. May the independent potti“n of the States General rally round liberty, in those whom Ministerial influence cannot disunite—and may the Belgians reppse with confidence on their Ornate exertions. On the day when M. Potter wa tried, the Second Chamber adopted the budget by the' majority of a single voice. &tiler the Reptesentaiive Government of Belgium is a delavion, or a Ministi y which has so falsified the character of it cannot long sustain a contest which every d y becomes more un equ 11.

DECEMBER 23.—We are still without any foreign arias of 'inipo lance, but the most superficial obsei Ter !will find in the proclamation of Gen.rai lUai.on to his soldiers a gentle hint that t eit 1 shouts are not at an end.

JASSY, Dm. 5. A courier f om Sr. Prteisbitrgh has brought to Field Marshal C u Wittgenstein an Imperial Re,cript, *WO his Majesty replies in the most gi :scions ter a s s, and in a very fl.ticting manner to the General, that in :he present ci!cunistances, when it is absolutely hetes• nary that he should be at his post, for the re organiza tion of the troops—an office in wh ch no person can take his place—it is quite impossible to grant him even a short leave of absence, which he had asked tor, to visit his estate The same dispatch inloi used him that his imperial Majesty has se:it a courier to the Counie‘s, his consort, with per mi,sion lor her to come and j him at heackparter, The Russian troops which daily ar rive from the right ban* of the Danube immediately go into quarters. The Metropolitan Bishop of Moldavia has received 1,0(X) ducats from the Emperor, to be dis tributed among Vie Convents, for the purpose of having Mas,es pet formed for the repose of the soul of the late Empiers Maria. Generals Witt and Soff-moff. left Jassy on the 4th of December, to raise and form recruits in Bessarabia. Count Palliest and Messrs. Daschoff and Minziacki are expected here (in Jassy); and immediately after their arrival the changes in the Administration, which have already been announced, will probably take place. As symptoms of the plague have again mani fested themselves in Wallachia, the Russian quarantine on the Pruth, which is only sixteen days, has been pro longed to thirty, i,nd is enforced with great rigour ; that several divisions which were to pass that fiver and go to more distant cantonments, have received ciainter orders, and will remain for thwpresent in Moldavia. According to letters from (Lilacs, a liusbian corps, between 50 and 40,000 men, remains on the right bank of the Danubei including the garrison ut Varna. This corps occupies the whole road from Varna to Issak: tchi, communicating with the garrisons of Brailow and Matchin. It is added, ihat a considerable corps af Turkish cavalry, floss Schumla, joined with part of the garrison of Silistria,was advancing towards Hirsova. LitoBl THE JOVRNAL DEs DEBATB. PARIS, Dec. 24. Qn the 20th inst. -cones of riot occurred at Brussels, on M. Potter being sentenced to eighteen months im prisonment, and to pay a fine of one tho,:sand francs. Violently excited by the war carried on by the Ministry for Sri% fill mouths agamst the press, tile Belgians have shows d under these circ ani-tances what *impression has been niaue by all these attacks on the liberty of the press.. ft is a melancholy thing for the Magistrates to ;be vla:ed, being removable at pleasure Under the rod DA:DRIED DES PAYS SAS. A great crowd assembled at this trial, to which late circarnstances gave an extraordinary interest. The chief accusation against the ( cornier consisted in an attempt to stigniatize ore hart of the nation by the name of Minizac ialists. The author cf the article, M. de Potter, a'as accompanied into the (3-uit by gendarmes, and placed ~ at the bar. Alter his Advocate, M.V Weyer, hai spoken in the language of the eirmitry, U. &Potter pronounced the following disci:no se in Lis own defence, in Fiench t $ Living *under a Constint innal Governasent, the contract, sworn testy sll the de;assitaries of power, gua ranteeinig to all the citizens the e" , joy meta of their sights, i ll thought I was at all times entitled to defend those rights, and :hat I was obliged to defend them when they were attacked. I did not hesitate for a ni meld in my choice of the means - by which I coulf attain my object. Our in , titiitioos supplied me with• an efficacious means in the Liberty of the Pies, which is inscribed in onr Prtidaniental law. Th , s liberty is illusive, if it be nut complite; it is wick.d, it it be n general, and equal for all. The pi 'allege of a patty ei caste of the :axe, it is the most terrible weapon, and arles with an unerrin' ' , aim its disariaed enco.ies. Placed in the hinds of theGovern meilt and its agents, it is the %%vole of despotism. The law which acknowledges the iirpersciiptible lights or men and citizens, imposes on all :ben the duty of trans milting to their de-cen.!ants these rights as lull as they received them. This daty, Geot'erneo, I have enders- I squired to fuefil accor ding to my conscience. I wrote in the mils because they are the most active organs of public opinion, which they guid... 1 chose the Courrier in preference, because all its Editors are Bel gians at.d my friends, and on most points our opinions are the :AMC. A public writer is the representative of the civil z r.ion of his aAe ; those who preceded him in the same career are the authors of our liberal institu tions—and in him tie Deputias of a people with a Re ineseritative Gomnment ouAht to glace confidence. In this country we yet heat expressions of Contempt Wiled horn tie Ti ibune against a Class of men a ho have c in tt buted to support that Tribune, and oho have also a Ti 'bone of their own, by which Deputies, Judges, Ma. gistraie-, and Citizens, are tried without any appeal. foe .I:Ritualists speak daily to s of their fellow tubjecs, and Ito ex; res.ions of con t empt can prevent then labours (tom enligt:tening the world. I ask of you, Gentlemen, if I have ever forgotten what I owe to you, and to the I.tw ? and in calling you Ministerialists you will not find me guilty of an outrage against the Magistracy. You will not accuse me of sowing sedition I among the people. Before you the people cry shame to the Nl.triverialists,war against core ui,tion and against those who oiganise it, and against those poltroons who I are corrupted. And you, Belgian Magistrates, you *ill be the first to c•mfirm this denunciation, because yOu find that those gr;edy wretches, who only desire to sell their cr witty, are worthy of being put to the bar of I I the nation. 1 shall limit my defence to an explanation of my opinions; you will weigh them, Gentlemen, and decide a ith impartiality. Whatever may be your de cision, I shall have nothing to reproach myself with. because lam completely absolved before the tribunal of my conscience." The close of this speech was followed by tepeated rounds cf applause, which drowned the vice of the President when lie tried to restore order. At length Ihe succeeded in clearing the Court ; but when the 'Judge, retired to deliberate, the crowd again rushed in. The hiends cf M. Potter surrounded Lim and congra tulated him. At this time it was two o'clock, and the galleries of tt e Court were filled with persons anxious to hear the sentence. At half-past too the Judges re• turned into Court, and the President read the laws, which forbid signs of applause or disapprobation in Courts, ani ordered the door-keepers to take care they were executed. He then read the decision of the Judges, that M. de Potter was found guilty. The Public Minister required the application of the law. The Ad v.,cates for the accused took some objections on the legality of the application. At tour o'clock the Court retired to deliberate, and at six o'clock pronounced us decision, and sentenced NI. de Potter to be imprisoned eighteen mouths, and s tay a fine of 1 OCO florins, as well as all the expense,. When the sentence was pronounced, the audience hi,sed, and clattered with their feet, and then cried out" Down with M. Van Mainers r "Down with the pretended Mi:,ister of Justice r The Prtsi Covet tunetit is a party to a league fotmed to crush all the Ii sr bat y Pisa ers.—Nous venous.

If the heat of tit:. weatl.et increas• s he is not to be seen—none but Engiishmen and mad dogs are to be found abroad in a top temperature. Let the mercury fall a few de grees, and you find bun s►.rvcring and giving all the s•gns of suffering from c n in the open air. If it aiiproach Ztirn th. gay, airy Patisian is, if he be seen ac allso disguised that you cannot recognize him Ile is either enveloped in 20 or 30 yards of cloth, formed into a cloak, which is lapped closely up t. his eyes, or wrapped in a most unseemly great coat, carted a carsick, and he is himself shrunk into one half of his or‘inary dimensions. If frost sets in he disappears alt gether from the streets and walk, and is only to be tound in Cares, where the temperature is kejt up by the crowd of visitants and the unwholesome heat of ;here& to 85 or 90 degrees. (Here again the adage applies to your countrymen, for, as if they delighted to punishing them selves, you find them abroad in crowds, in light frocks and unencumbered by great coats, moving a iii► al the animation and appearance of gaiety so Fahey ,2tttibuted 'to the branch). In short, a Frenchman is, coo paced with any other man, a most unaccountable person. If he loves, it is to madness; from the sli g htest repulse he takes to the river with the avidity of the spaniel. If he hates, the guillotine has no terrors for him, No ap pearance r f danger can stop a French soldier in a vic torious career; his courage amounts to the most con leuptunus disregard of death. if he meat. a check, and Unxgines it possible that he shall be defeated, no human power can rally him, and his pusidar.imity be comes equally contemp•ible and Ci;f3Ordiltal y. If you please him he laughs. capers, and claps his hands, like a child. Vex Mir, and he becomes a maniac, make: the most hideous grimaces, foams at the mouth, and dances pith rage. If be be a Royalist, his loyalty is iJolatry ; if a Liberal, he is a fcrocious Reruhlican. His teligion is fanaticism—his infidelity ultra-atheism—his joy delitium—his despondency despair; and let, with all ►hese peculiatities, he is a very agreeabk We learn from Prot Santa Maria, that on the 30th ult. a shower of stones fell in that t•rwn during the space of two hourr, by which great damage Ma, done to the houses.
