(From our owu Corredpondent.)
Buessets, May 27,
The marrage of the Duke of Brabant with the
Archduchess Mary has been officially announced to
the ministers through au autograph letter from the
King; and the formal communication to the Cham-
bers will take place on Monday next, together with
the demand of the money necessary to complete the
restoration d the palace built by the late Prince of
Orange, and which, with the estate of Pervueren, in
the vicinity of Brussels, will serve as a residence for
the young couple. The marriage will probably be
celebrated re. Vienna in September next. The young
Princess is said to be of striking beauty, and a re-
gular amazon, but without personal fortune.
The return of the King and Prince will be a triumph
from the frontier to the palace in Bls. The
illustrious travellers on Thursday moruingrusse left Co-
burg, where they stayed for a day after leaving
Dresden, and slept at Frankfort. The next stage
was to be Cologne, and they re-enter Belgium to-mor-
row (Saturday). The ministers will await the King
at the frontier, and his Majesty will be received by a
deputation of the Chambers and high corporations.
Deeply as the public joy on this occasion has
shown the spirit of nationality and love of indepen-
dence to be rooted among the Belgians, there are cer-
tain discontented persons who begin to grumble over
the probable influence this more intimate alliance
with the northern powers may have on the coustitu-
tional regime of the country. 1t is certain that the
Catholic Conservative party have begun a regular
struggle of reaction against the democratic conces-
sions made since 1848. The moment is undoubtedly
favourable, and they are certain of the majority in
the elzotions which will take place next year, when
half the members of the Chamber of Representatives
will be renewed.
Meantime the railway fever is pervading the country.
No lees than fourteen projects are at the present
moment pending, or in process of organisation.
ALITRIA.—The letters from Trieste state that the
Greek steamer Otho will convey the Queen Amelia
on her return from Germany, and then return to
Trieste with King Otho.
The interruption of the negotiations between
Switzerland and Austria is fully confirmed. It does,
however, not amount to a rupture of diplomatic
communica ions, as the Swiss Chancery at Vienna,
and the Austrian at Berne, remain to expedite
current business. The Austrian Minister, Count
Karnuki, was to leave Berne for a watering town in
the east of Switzerland. German papers, however,
say that the states bordering Switzerland will con-
centrate a military force ou the frontiers ; and let-
ters from Paris speak of the roposed formation of
a French army of observation between Lyons and

Geneva.
It is said that the instructions of which Baron
Bruck, the new Austrian Ambassador at Constanti
nople, is the bearer, embrace not only the Austrian
consular establishment, but the whole Austrian
trade in Turkey. M. de Bruck, as the director of the
Trieste Lloyd, is the best man to know exactly the
wants and means of the Levant trade, and important
results are expected from his mission, the more so
that the partial abandonment of the Sultan, in his
differences with Russia, by the English and French
diplomacy, has thrown the Divan on the side of
Austria.
RusstA.—Letters from Kalisch state that the great
military manceuvres usually taking place during the
spring in the vicinity of Warsaw, and in which the
troops stationed on the southern frontier would also
participate, have been countermanded. This is said
to be in consequence of the state of things at Con-
kantinople. The vanguard, consisting of 100,000
men, advanced lately very near to the frontiers of

Turkey.
ITALV.—For some years past the BMW) troops
have been condemned to sere without epaulettes as
a punishment for their defection in 1849. The Pope
has now ordered that military emblem to be returned
to his soldiery, who will then be uniformed com-
pletely, like the French.
BERTIN.—The Grand Duke of Weimar is danger•
onsly

Vlll4.ii.AND.—The Council of War has delivered
judgment in the Friburg case. The curate, Delleyet
Perrier, is condemned to twenty years' imprisonment,
laid the other aceused to fifteen lenrs' imprisonment.
