The Court of Assizes of Smith Brabant will try towards the end of this mouth, the persons ac cused of a plot against his Majesty the Emperor of Russia, which was to have been carried into execu tion in the mouth of November last. On the other hand, the Court of ASI7IZrS of the department of the Seine, ►itting at Paris, will begin on the 10th of May, the trial of Contilion and Maritiet, accused of having designed to take away the life of the Duke of Wellington. These two criminal causes are highly interesting to Belgium, since the dreadful plots were formed in its bosom. The proceedings in these two affairs will clear up what is obscure iu the details of these horrible designs. APRIL 14. His Majery the King and hi% Royal Iligiii.ess Prince FrederiA are expected here this evening. It is affirmed that a revived project of a law relative to the duty proposed upon sugar and coffee, and against which so many remonstrances have been made, will be presented to the Second Chamber of the States General, in the name of his Majesty.

The destruction of a machine lately invented, and which being put in motion by two men, will deprive 300 persons of the means of getting their livelihood, seems also to have been the object of this combination. lave spinners, mostly young women under , 20 years of age, are accused of being the ringleaders.

After having had to fulfil the painful task of ac rounding our readers with the unhappy disseotions between the corps of cavalry awl infantry which compose our garrison, we feel peculiar satisfaction in being able to announce that a muerte reconcilia tion yesterday took place between these brave war riors —a deputation of the infantry having gene to the barracks of the cavalry to ask an explanatoin respecting the quarrels that have arisen, and to propose a measure to terminate them, cause to ass underrtanding, as it usual among men of honour. In the afternoon 50 turn of each corps. mostly rub altern officers, who were afterwards by many others, met together at the White Rose, where they crossed their sabres, deposited them under the care of some of their comrades, a n d swore upon their arms unalterable peace and friendship.

The kingdom might be very well divided into five provinces, as follows :—lst, of the Vistula; t zd, of the Oder ; 3d, of the Elbe ; 4th, of the Weser ; sth, of the Rhine.

Martens, in consequence of in structions from his Government, has proposed a general reform of all the German Universities, and joint measures for the restrictiou of the academical privileges. He endeavoured to support his proposal not only by the disturbances which took place last year at Gottingen, but also upon principles which are developed in the essay of M. Stourdzs. pre sented to the Congress at Aix-la-Chapelle. proposal, however, is stated to have met with so much opposition [ruin other NLins , ers to the Diet, that it was laid aside.

ST. PATRICK'S CIIAKITI SCHOOLS AND ASYLUM FOR FEMALE ORPHANS. Yesterday the annual dinner of this Charity took place at Freemasons' Hall, Great Queen-street. The dinner was attended. as it deserved, by several of the most distinguished personages of the country. The object of this Charity is extremely insist worthy. In these schools between four and live hundred boys and girls, almost exclusively the chil dren of poor Irish parent; residing in the neigh bourhood of St. Giles's, receive a plain hut useful education. That their hearts may be improved, while their minds are enlightened, every exertion is made to impress deeply on them the principles of morality and religiou. The claim of establishments ou the bhp rainy of a benevolent pashli.• is most tiowerfol ; they are calculated to ehh,!hten the minds, and gradually mould to virtue the hearts of children, whose morals, at au innoceilt but susceptible age, are exposed to peculiar danger, from the low and licentious depravity that prevails around them. The establishment's extend their protection also, and afford an asylum to those poor helpless female orphans, whom Providence seems to have deprived of tl* father's care, and left destitute to the world; that the charitably disposed muy never be without deserving objects, on whom they may display their benevolence.
