GERMAN PAPERS. FRANKFORT, MARCH 31. —The public attention is turned as much to the negotiations at Biberich as to those at Vienna. Should the former not lead to any result, the Luxemburg question may remain long un decided, or, perhaps, never be amicably terminated. Less apprehension is felt respecting the negotiations at Vienna ; the enlightened part of the public expect that they will produce much good, and that when the people shall be convinced of the well -meant care of the Government to promote the interest of our common country, the mistrust which has unfortunately mani fested itself in several places will vanish. It may be considered as a proof of confidence in the honourable intentions of the ministers at Vienna, that the Book sellers' Company here has sent a memorial to the con ference, requesting measures for the relief of the book trade, and the suppression of literary piracy. VIENNA, MARCH 29.—The conference has now daily general meetings, in which it is said that the subjects of discussion are the press and the relations of the several German governments with the confederation. It is universally affirmed that there is no intention of proposing any measures against the constitutions, but that it is only meant to regulate second points, so that they cannot be liable to any arbitrary interpretation. A courier from London has passed through on his way to Constantinople. There seems to be continued nego tiations between the English ministry and the Porte, as the late debates in Parliament also show.—Allge meine Zeitung, April 4. BERLIN, MARCH 30.—Several arrests have taken place, and it is said a conspiracy worthy of the fana ticism of the anarchical party, was about to break out. Uniforms of gendarmerie, and of the keepers of the palace gardens, were formed at the rendezvous of these silly conspirators. Several foreigners who have resided here for a year past, have been ordered to quit the city immediately, and the kingdom as soon as possible. It is said that the garrison of the Rhenish provinces are to be rein forced.—Nuremburg Correspondent. BRUSSELS PAPERS. BRUSSELS, APRIL 7.—Brussels has just been the theatre of scenes of disorder, which we cannot suffi ciently deplore. The publication of the lists for re purchasing the horses of the Prince of Orange has ex cited such great irritation among the people, that the afflicting excesses which th e y committed could not be repressed without difficulty. Several houses have been devastated. On Saturday the Department of Public Safety had given notice to the municipal authority, to the military governor of the province, and to the colonel of the gendarmes,:of the fermentation which prevailed in the city, calling on them to take all the measures of pre caution which circumstances seemed to require. It is to be regretted that, in consequence of the con centration of the troops on the frontiers, the military force stationed at Brussels was not sufficiently nume rous to occupy all the points that were threatened. The great number of houses which the people at tacked, simultaneously or successively, greatly lessened the efficiency of the armed force, especially before the arrival of the reinforcements. This circumstance having equally rendered insuffi cient, the intervention of the municipal authori ties without the concurrence of which the armed force seemed to be but little inclined to act, the 'council of ministers came to the following resolution. (Here follow, Ist, the resolution of the ministers, authorising the military force to act without the con currence of the civil power; 2d, General Hurel's pro clamation to the inhabitants of Brussels ; 3d, the ad dress of M. Rogier, the Minister of the Interior, to the inhabitants, calling on the good citizens to assist in maintaining public order, and putting an end to scenes disgraceful to the national character and un worthy of a free people.) Yesterday morning estafettes were sent to Malines, Louvain, and various neighbouring towns, with orders to send to the capital the troops that could be spared. Towards four o'clock it was possible to take mea sures on a concerted plan ; strong detachments were stationed at the most important points ; patrols were sent out in all directions. Many attempts to penetrate into other houses were defeated. The safety guard, which performed its duty with zeal and firmness, and some citizens who accompanied to assist it by their active co-operation, prevented the devastation of the house which was already attacked. The sth regiment of the line and the guides executed various movements, the result of which was efficacious. The Minister of the Interior mounted his horse and accompanied General Hurel to several parts of the city where the assemblages of the people appeared to be the most threatening. He arrested several persons who seemed to be encouraging the mob, and delivered them to the armed force. When he reached the plain of St. Gudule, while he was haranguing the people, a man struck him a blow on the head with an iron instru ment, the effect of which was happily deadened by his hat. About five in the afternoon there arrived two squa drons of Lancers from Malines, and two battalions of Artillery from Velvorde and Waterloo. At nine o'clock three battalions of the 10th regt. arrived from Louvain, and three other battalions were expected in the night. In the morning the Minister of the Interior gave orders to the generals commanding the civic guard of Brussels to convoke all the citizens, who form part of it, and to send them to all points where disorders were com mitted or threatened. It is to be regretted that the appeal made by them produced a tardy and very in complete effect. The vigilance of the superior autho rities was not abated for an instant. If the execution every where did not correspond with its solicitude, it would be unjust to blame it on that account. The Government is too fully aware of the injury which such excesses do to the country, how greatly they hurt its reputation abroad, what a text they furnish for the most absurd and violent accusations against itself, not to be the first to lament them. It is, therefore, with feelings of pain that it already sees some journals, pay ing no regard to the first causes of these deplorable events, or to the insufficiency of the means which it had at its disposal, indulge in odious attacks on it, w hi c h a little reflecti on an d impartiality will suffice to refute. One o'clock in the morning.—The city is tranquil ; the troops remain in their positions—Moniteur Beige, April 7. BRUSSELS, APRIL B.—Tranquillity is re-established at Brussels. The night of Sunday passed over qui etly. The troops bivouacked in the squares. Nu merous patrols of infantry and cavalry paraded the streets. Yesterday there were no further attempts to commit disorder. There is every reason to believe that no excesses have been committed in the provinces. The most strict and precise orders were sent early on Sunday to several provincial authorities, to prevent, or repress, if necessary,t: the afflicting scenes which might be ap prehended: 104 persons were arrested on Sunday. (The Moniteur defends the Government against the imputations of. supineness, want of foresight, and incompetency, alleged by the Courrier Belge.)—Moni teur Belge, April 8. BRUSSELS, APRIL B.—The following is a correct list of the houses that have been pillaged. These scenes far exceed those which took place in 1831 : The hotels of the Duke D'Ursel. Prince de Ligne. Marqui de Trazaries. ... Count de Oultremont. Count de Bethune. Count de Marnex. The houses of M. Oewasme Pletorickx. Mr. Jones. . M. Tilmont. M. Weemaels. M. Hoorickx. M. Vinck de Westwezel. The Inn of the Quatre Vents. The lodgings of the Count D'Overchies. The office of the Lynx. The meeting-house of the Club of the Rue de PEvique. In all, sixteen houses. The Union mentions two other houses ; those of M. Coenas and M. Messel Blissett, making a total of eighteen houses. It is fortunate that none of the proprietors of these houses were at home. The Duke of Ursel alone at tempted to address the people, when his hotel was attacked, but he was invited to retire, which he did. The office of the Lynx was attacked a second time on Sunday. The journal was at press, the forms and the presses were broken to pieces, and the types were thrown into the street. The Court of Appeal has, by a decree to-day, de cided to try the causes arising from these troubles, and has appointed Messrs. De Brouckere and Corbisier to proceed to the investigation. Domiciliary visits have been ordered to be made in the houses of individuals accused of carrying off property from the houses that have been pillaged. We are informed that some members of the Chambea. `C\., 46 , • of Representatives now at Brussels will call on the Ministers speedily to convoke the Chambers. Numerous emigrations are spoken of. We are able to affirm that several of the persons whose furniture was destroyed on Sunday were walking about Brussels yesterday without being at all molested, and that none of those whose names are in the lists of subscribers have at this moment any fear of being molested. The two theatres were closed yesterday, and will be so to-day also. BELGIAN FUNDS.—BRUSSELS, APRIL 7. Actual Debt, 2% per Cent.

We have receive a letter signed " Veritas," in which seve ral grave charges are made against the late Sir Walter Scott, one of the greatest and best of men. As the writer does not think fit to give us his name, of course we cannot be expected to insert his communication. • aTir tf *U/10 LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, APRIL 10, 1834. The accounts received by private correspon dence and the French papers confirm the opinions we have expressed from day to day as to the result of the intrigue against the Duc de BROGLIE, viz., it has failed so far as affects the policy of the Cabinet, which will con tinue the same. The elections, which are expected to take place next month, will be looked to with great interest. France, however, begins to taste the benefits of peace, and to feel that her strength consists in a firm alliance with England. So long as this is main tained the European despots can do but little harm. NICHOLAS may long for Turkey, and prepare to pounce upon it ; but Eng land and France can, and we trust will, put " a hook into his nose" the moment his designs are to be executed. The power to do;so, however, can only be preserved as the result of that firm and daily strengthening alliance which now exists between these countries, and which never could have been maintained if the conquerer of Water loo had ruled the destinies of England. Bound up as the Duke of WELLINGTON was with the Allied Sovereigns, it would have been as impossible for him as it would have -been contrary to his inclinations and avowed policy, to unite cordially with regenerated France, un der a Monarch whom the despotic Sovereigns of Europe and their crafty advisers most cor dially hate. No, no ; the friend and protector of Don MIGUEL must have been also the friend of CHARLES X. and of Don CARLos, when ever assistance could have been effectually ren dered to them and their cause, and all would have united in a strenuous and sustained effort to put a stop to the progress of representative governments in Europe. The Revolution in France, and the Reform Bill in England, have checked the progress of despotism, and, con.. ceivewhat they will, combineas they may, and threaten and cajole as they alternately do, the alliance of France and England, under peaceful but daily strengthening Governments, will ren der all their machinations fruitless. SA long as Governments, strong in their moderation, and deriving their support from the confidence and respect of the friends of good order and true freedom can be maintained in France and England, there is nothing to fear, either for the peace or the gradual improvement of all the minor states now struggling, or about to struggle, for the means of putting a check to arbitrary power. The chief fault of Louts PHILIP is that he is a little too fond of ruling , for himself rather than through his Ministers, and , 1 their virtuous effort, and it is now quite in vain for any man or confederacy of men, to enslave them against their will. In fact, none can be enslaved who resolve to be free. The proceedings of the States-General of Holland, as communicated in the Dutch papers are, so far as they have gone, without much in terest. Amendments were called for in the finan cial bills proposed by the government, and the ob jections which gave rise to them were transmitted to Government. Some modifications are to be made in the civil code, and there was to be a public sitting of the Second Chamber on Tues- day. Much discontent has been expressed, as to the want of information on the most material point submitted to the consideration of the States—viz., the means by which a definitive arrangement may be bro ug ht a b ou t : The Amsterdam Courant announces that the King, the Prince and the Princess of Orange, and Prince Frederick, are to visit the capital to-morrow. Baron Fagel having left the Hague for London, it has been reported that he is sent on a mission to our Govern ment. The Dutch papers, however, assert that his journey has no political object. The interchange of couriers between the Hague and Vienna is stated to be remarkably frequent. During the last week several arrivals and departures took place. On Monday some considerable purchases were made on English account in the Dutch 5 per Cents., which occasioned a rise of that stock. The prices at 5 o'clock were—Dutch 5 per Cents., 961 ; 2i per Cents., 50 3-16; Spanish 5 per Cents. Perpetuelles, 62-k ; 3 per Cents. ditto, 41 ; Cortes, 23k. The only news relative to Spain will be found the following paragraphs : BAYONNE, APRIL 1.--The rebellion, which had been nearly stifled in Biscay, has broken out again since a great part of the Queen's troops have been withdrawn into Navarre. Brigadier Espartero has, however, given to the insurgents a new lesson. They were found intrenched in the convent of Bursegna, and were determined from this post to defend the bridge. They made a very obstinate resistance, but were at length dislodged, with the loss of 30 men killed, and as many prisoners. Castor, their chief, effected his escape.' The monks were chained toge ther, and thus conducted to Bilboa, where the people received them with cries of " Put them to death." BARCELONA, MARCH 28.—The province is still tran quil, and the attempt made to organize bands has not succeeded, owing to the excellent spirit of the inhabi tants, and to the activity of Captain-General Llauder. A band of 35 men, formed by a priest, Mosen Antonio Perez, has been totally destroyed ; the chief, and ten of his followers, who have been taken, alone escaped with life. This capture is due to the Urban Militia and to the Miquelets of the province. In the environs of Salamanca another band of 70 men, formed under the command of a chief named Manuel Matas, has been dispersed, with the loss of several men killed and taken prisoners. The women of Cabazuela and Alca Nueva, left alone in the village, seized two of the insurgents, bound them, and gave them up to the authorities : during the night they lit up their houses, fearing an attack, and provided themselves with stones and boil ing water, in order to make resistance if necessary. It is rumoured that the vacant Lordship of the Admiralty has been offered to Admiral PARKER. We hope this report is well founded. Admiral PARKER is a meritorious officer, and has conducted himself with equal firmness and prudence in the difficult position in which he has been placed as Commander-in-Chief of the Fleet of Observation in the Tagus. The French papers quote a letter from Rome, dated the 22d ult., as follows : " In consequence of the order given by the Papal Government to the representative of Donna Maria to remove the escutcheon bearing the arms of Portugal from the door of his hotel, the Ambassador addressed a note to the representatives of France and England. These diplomatists immediately despatched a note to the Secretary of State, expressing surprise that a power like Portugal, acknowledged by England and France, should not be so by the Papal Government ; and declared that any insult offered to the Portuguese Government would be considered by them as offered to the sovereigns they had the honour to represent, those sovereigns being the allies of Portugal. It is not known what course the Papal Government will take. It is said the Government is about to send 1,000 sol diers to take possession of the Republic of San Marino." When we some time since stated the fact that such an order had been given, a flat contradic tion was given to it in an article from Rome, copied into the French papers. It appears, however, at last to be admitted that the Papal Government did offer this insult to the Portu guese Government, although it was very pro perly resented by the representatives of France and England. Both MIGUEL and Don CARLOS receive the best aid from his HOLI NESS, which he is able to render, and would, no doubt, in return, re-establish the Inquisition, if that were possible, in the event of the over throw of the new Governments. The Queen Regent of SPAIN has very properly issued Decrees, which have been published in the Madrid Gazettes, by which the property of the clergy who quit their houses to join the rebels, as also of those who assist them, shall be con fiscated, and the proceeds applied as follows : " Art. 8. The fund of temporalities which may result from the provisions of this my Royal decree will , be applied to the payment of the pensions which I shall I, assign to the parents, widows, and orphans of the loyal Spaniards who may die in defence of the throne hence the importance of his having for those Ministers men of good temper, combined with principle and a high sense of honour. We trust we may assert with confidence that, although the machinations of the Northern Powers, and the intrigues of his colleagues, have forced the Due de BROGLIE from an office which he has long been disposed to resign, they have failed completely in producing that estrange ment between France and England, which it was their object to produce. It was formerly their plan to alarm England with the revolu tionary spirit of France. Their tactics are changed—their objects are the same. They are now seeking to excite in France a jealousy of England, and to profess, at the expense of the latter, a preference of the former. The Brussels papers contain nothing worthy of notice beyond the fact that tranquillity has been restored. Better arrangements will pro bably be made for the future. The Orange party have gained nothing but the gratification of their passion, for mischief. This affair has shown the weakness of the Orange faction, and is a fresh proof of the folly of the schemes of the three great powers of Europe, who aimed to unite those who had no common feelings or interests to bind them. The Belgians naturally looked on the attempt to enforce such a compact as a degradation, and as soon as they were able they established anew their independence. England and France aided and the country; and the remainder, if any there should be, will be destined to the extinction of the pub lic debt." Professor SEDGWICK has addressed an able letter to the Times in defence of the petitioners from the University of Cambridge, the dis cussion of whose petition engaged no less than three morning sittings in the House of Com mons. We regret we have not room for the whole. After a consideration of the arguments of the protesters against the allegations of the petition, the learned Professor proceeds to notice the protest against its principles in the following able and conclusive manner : " The declaration states, that in the event of the prayer of the petition being granted, it would be im possible to maintain in the several colleges any uniform system of sound religious instruction, or of wholesome discipline, or to prevent the introduction and diffusion of principles tending to the subversion of the church established in these realms.' It is hardly necessary to state, that those who signed the petition entertained an opinion diametrically opposed to this. With which party the truth rests time alone can determine. In justification of our views I may, however, affirm that dissenters have repeatedly passed through their terms as under-graduates without creating any difficulties in the mode of administering discipline in the several colleges. With this discipline the petitioners ex pressly disclaim any intention of interfering. I wish also to remind the members of the Senate, that no under-graduate is compelled to attend a lec ture delivered by any of the professors of theology, and that, to the best of my belief, no college lectures on divinity have ever, within the last thirty years, been delivered which a Dissenter of any denomination would have scrupled to attend ; such lectures being studiously confined to a critical exami nation of various parts of the New Testament, to dis cussions on the evidence of Christianity, and so on. In confirmation of this, I may point out that Paley's Evidences, Butler's Analogy, and Doddridge's Evi dences, have been for many years the subjects of col lege divinity lectures, in addition to the Greek text of the New Testament. The subjects of controversial theology have been carefully avoided, as entirely un fitted for the ordinary course of academic competition. The best proof of what lam now stating, and one least open to cavil, will be found in the printed papers of different college examinations, which have been in general circulation for more than thirty years. " On the strength of these facts I venture to repeat, in the name of the petitioners, that the concession of their prayer would not, in any way whatsoever, inter fere with the ordinary religious instruction of the University." In his own behalf the Professor then proceeds to disprove several assertions with respect to the manner of getting up, and the time selected for the prosecution and presentation of the peti tion, and then refers to the state of the Univer sity, and the groundlessness of the fears which have been expressed for the safety of the Esta blished Church : " I congratulate the members of the Senate who signed the petition to Parliament on the favourable hearing their prayer has met with, and on the sure grounds of hope that before many months are over their wishes will be accomplished. They have asked for nothing but what the present condition of the country imperiously demands, and what is at once compatible with the honour of the University and the safety of our ecclesiastical establishments. Under the contemplated change, none but well-educated men, in a good condition of life, can come among us from the dissenting body; and from such men what cause have , we of fear ? I repeat, that no change whatever is ne cessary in our general system of instruction; I speak advisedly, and after several years' experience as as sistant tutor and college examiner. Each college is master of its own peculiar rules of discipline, and the college endowments are, with very limited exceptions, secured to the members of the established church. " The spoliation of church property cannot begin at Cambridge. If such a calamity be in reserve for us (which God forbid !) it will either commence sud denly in some brutal acts of democratic violence, fatal to all property, or be brought about gradually by the progressive alienation of those who, from their pro perty and intelligence, have a natural weight in the councils of the State. Against the former kind of spoliation academic regulations offer no defence ; from the latter, we must be base churchmen, and no better than moral cowards, if we think we have aught to fear, provided only we be true to ourselves, and waste not foolishly our strength in defending untenable posi tions, and maintaining a system of exclusion opposed to the temper of the age in which we live, and the present tolerant spirit of English law. We affirm that Cambridge is a university in the proper sense of the word—a place of national education, not for the church merely, but for all the learned faculties, a great scientific body, and a lay corporation. Continue the restrictions, and the faculty of medicine, perhaps also that of law, will soon be lopped off from us ; the University cannot bear this mutilation, and ought, by every honourable means, to avoid the risk of it. Of those who, as Professors, are employed in carrying on the scientific work of the University, three-fourths at the least are favourable to the prayer of the petition. A few men, very distinguished in literature and science, are neutral ; but, if I do not greatly deceive myself, their hearts are more with us than against us. Of those who occupy the places of highest dignity in the University, a large majority are unfortunately against us ; and among thos e w h o h ave s i gne d t h e counter-decaration are many whose names it is impos sible to read without sentiments of honour and re spect. Both parties have done what they thought for the best ; and they are acting during times of no ordi nary excitement, and under very difficult and trying circumstances, when an honest man may surely hope to record his opinions, without calling forth a single bitter feeling in the breasts of those who differ from him." I never heard a naval or military man speak of the future but as to be passed in some dwelling which held out the delights of growing their own vegetables and killing their own mutton. It has never been my fortune to meet with an individual who deliberately planned an existence to be passed actually in London. " The vision and the faculty divine" of imagining how your fortune is to be spent when acquired always goes off the stones.--New Monthly Magazine. An old man named Frantz Brimann, Pre tending to be the Wandering Jew, was arrested lately at Erlach, in Franconia, where he had availed himself of the pious credulity of many who lodged and enter tained him. On being searched there were found upon him 25,000 florins in gold, which he had the im pudence to assert were lent to him by Jesus Christ, to defray the expenses of his journeys, but the police magistrate replied that the real wandering Jew never had more than five sous in his pocket, and consequently took charge of this f un d till d ue i nqu i r i es cou ld b e made.— F rench Paper. REASON WHY A MAN SHOULD NOT BE HANGED. —The magistrates of Inverness have applied to the Lord Advocate to take some steps for getting the burgh relieved of the expense of executing crimi nals. They mention to his lordship that they have discharged their executioner, and that they will be subjected to very serious expense by a man at present in custody on a charge of sheep-stealing should he be sentenced to be hanged ! So different from hostility (during the Pe. ninsular war) was the conduct of both nations, that the French and British lived upon the most amicable terms. If we wanted wood for the construction of huts, our men were allowed to pass without molesta tion to the French side of the river to cut it. Each day the soldiers of both armies used to bathe together in the same stream, and an exchange of rations, such as biscuit and rum, between the French and our men, was by no means uncommon. A stop was, however, soon to be put to this friendly intercourse ; and it hav ing been known in both armies that something was about to be attempted by Marmont, on the evening of the 12th of July we shook hands with our cris-a-cris neighbours, and parted the best friends. It is a re markable fact, that the part of the river of which I am speaking was occupied on our.side by our third divi sion ; on the French side by the seventh division. The French officers said to us on parting, " We have met, and have been for some time friends. We are about to separate, and may meet as enemies. As friends we received each other warmly, as enemies we shall do the sante." In ten days afterwards the British third and the French seventh division were opposed to each other at the battle of Salamanca, and the seventh French were destroyed by t h e British third.— United Service Journal. COMMON COUNCIL.-(THIS DAY.) A Court was held this morning for the despatch of public business. The LORD MAYOR took thwthair at twelve o'clock. THE LONDON UNIVERSITY. The LORD MAYOR said he had received a requi sition, signed by many members of the Court, relative to the London University, which would now be read. The Clerk read the requisition. It was signed by Mr. Richard Taylor, and many others, and stated the necessity of moving an address to the Crown, praying that a charter might be granted to the London University, with the usual privileges, &c. Sir P. LAURIE thought it advisable that the busi ness on the paper should be proceeded with, other wise it would be impossible for the orders on the paper to be gone through. After some conversation on this subject, Mr. R. TAYLOR said he only consulted the wishes of the friends of liberty in bringing this subject forward. He was, he believed, correct in stating that his Ma jesty and the Ministers had agreed to the policy of granting to the London University the power of con ferring degrees. He had reason to believe that this char ter had received the Royal signature, and only awaited that of the Great Seal. During the period of trans missal of the charter from Brighton to London, a petition was presented to the Home-office from the Chancellor and other, officers of Oxford against the granting of the privilege of conferring degrees. The 16th of the present month had been ap pointed by his Majesty to receive a deputation from the College in support of their protest. As the corporation of the city had the privilege of addressing the King on the throne, he thought the corporation of London ought to address the King, praying that the charter might be granted.—(Hear.) He had no doubt his Majesty, who was always anxious to promote the good of his people, and acted on patriotic principles, would accede to the wishes of the Ccorporation and the public. It was of the greatest importance that education should be extended, and it would be most important to the metropolis that there should be a University in it which had the power of conferring degrees. Constantinople and Madrid were the only capitals that had not such establishments, and he hoped that the charter would be granted to the London University. The hon. gentleman was left referring to the im portance of the subject, and to the necessity of the City doing all in its power to extend education. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE -THIS DAY.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. - e are again without arrivals this morning, with the exception of the French mail, one from Ostend, and the express from Paris. By the French mail we have accounts from Madrid, stating that news had arrived there from Navarre and Biscay not of a favourable nature, that the regiment of Estremadura had experienced a check, but the parti culars were not known. It was hoped that the general armament of the Urban militia would soon change the face of affairs, and permit the various garrisons to march against the Carlists. The expedition to Portu gal was actively preparing, but there would be a delay of a few days, owing to some new measures taken between the Spanish and Portuguese govern ments. It is assured that Martinez de la Rosa has the intention soon to declare the independence of the South American States, by a decree from the Queen, previous to the assembling of the Cortes ; and it is certain that orders have been given to admit the flag of the new republic in all the ports of Spain. We have a confirmation, by way of New Orleans, in the Commercio Libra, of the sth of January, of the taking of Guyaquil by General Rocafuerte, of the liberal party. He had also destroyed the troops of General Flores, whose treason was discovered, and he was im mediately shot ; and it was supposed that Rocafuerte would be elected President of the Republic of the Equator. The Republic of Boliva had declared La Mar a free port. The subscriptions at the city of Panama for the con struction of a rail-road between that city and Porto Bello were very large. By private letters this morning from Brussels, by the mail, we hear that order and tranquillity have been restored in the above capital. THE FUNDS. The express from Paris this morning has brought news from Madrid to the Ist inst.. and the Gazette of that date publishes a decree, declaring the desire of that Government to contract for a loan of about two millions sterling, with native or foreign capitalists. It again states, that General Loren zo , i n N avarre , was defeated, and that General Quesada, who had marched to his relief, had been compelled to return without effecting his junction with Lorenzo.
