THE BRUSSELS CONGRESS.

BRIIIIIIILLS, BIM IS.
A told, wet mornisr-etie modelled on a Novae-
' her sunrise in London—has not soloed to damp the
ardour of the delegates from various odious who
have taken up their abode in this city for a few days,
to disease the grave subject of Oedema Reforms all
over the world, in an International Coogreor. Last
evening a preliminary private meeting of the Ur
gates was held at the Hotel de Ihrlde, at which busi-
ness of a formal character was dismissed, and to which
vice-presidents of the various Notions into which the
Coopers is separated were appointed. That section+
are determined to work, and that the Belgian Customs
Reform Association keep clearly in view the elimina-
tion of telling (sort, while they discourage more
oratorical &wishes, are points which may encourage
us to hope that, ere the Congress separates, it
will have paned a series of important re-
solutions I and more, will be ready to book

'stutterers by the heavy import duties on iron and
coal, cambia' to strengthen our hope that public' OP6
aim in this country will soon be brought to beer
with irresistible force upon the government. The
Belgian Association has already poured no lees than
140.000 printed reports, pamphlets, &c., over the
country. The ironmasters are up is arms, and

abolished her navigation laws, bad admitted earn fees

that the prosperity el the country had folly ladled
the liberality of the gransesat. A delegate fres

The cholera is disappearing rapidly.
The day for the formal opening of the railway by

We have new, from Brazils by the Sultan up to
the 20th of August. The Brazilian Chamber of
Deputies had passed a bill authorising the government
to open a credit of six hundred eontos, to be applied
in promoting colonisation, and for other public ser-
viols. A bill had also been passed to regulate the
strength of the naval fore:, and another establish-
ing international copyright bs‘vreen Portugal and
Brazil was under discussion.
The additional articles of the bill of the Maria

PARIS, TOZADLT EYINING.

The article in the Mealleur 11111 created a sensation
in Peri', declaring as it does that the government is
fall of anxiety on aeoount of the situation of the
operative alums. In itself the article contains
nothing remarkable. It expense* a hop that the
future will bring a remedy for the sufferings of the
people of Paris, which have, it observes, awakened
the deep solicitude of the Enamor; but this is all,
and the operatives, probably, will not be very much
benefited by his Majesty's solicitude. Nevertheless the
article is of great importauce. It verifies the misery
of the people of the capital, and confirms the rumours
which have been in circulation for some time,
that great anxiety is felt in high places
respecting the approaching term (October 8), wham a
great number of operatives will be obliged to quit
their dwelling*, in C3neequeoce of having ret -:iced
notice from the proprietors that the rent will then
be raised. Apprehensions are entertained of tumul-
tuous scenes at this period ; and it is quite impos-
sible to foresee what will be the issue of the disoontent
the existence of which is admitted indirectly this
morning by the official journal of the French govern-
ment.

We have to day important news from Spain. The
Mortmain Law has been abrogated in so far u con-
cerns the property of the clergy—that is to say, the
ultramontane party has gained the victory in the
struggle on this question. M. Cantero has, it is said,
sent in hie resignation ; the other ministers have be-
trayed him. It had bzen agreed that the projects of
the court should be opposed, bat Cantero alone
remained firm. It is believed, however, that M.
Alvarez, Minister of Justice, and M. Bayarra,
Minister of Marine, will resign. A few more down-

I learn that the French ultimatum to the King of
Naples will leave here to-morrow. The English one
is to follow. It is affirmed, however, that the French
government believes that the affair will to arranged
amicably, and that his Neapolitan Majesty will make
satisfactory anomalous. The Moniteist de la Fiala
thus speaks of the departure of a French flat for
Naples :—" We are assured that the French squadron
under the orders of Vice-Admiral Trehonart, which
puts to set immediately, will nada of four steam
vessels, the Bretagne, carrying the admiral's flag,
the Ulm, the Algesiras, and the Napoleon."

PARIS, Tenney Moksixo.
The Neapolitan question now oocupiea public at-
tention, almost to the exclusion of all others. No
doubt is now entertained that England and France
are determined to make an energetic demonstration
towards the King of Naples. The French legation is
about to be recalled from Naples, u well as what re-
mains of the English ore, and the two allied govern-
ments will each seed four line-of-battle ships and four
frigates into the Gulf of Naples. It is said that the
first place of rendezvous of the above force will be
Ajaecio, and t►e French part of it his received orders
to immediately leave Toulon. The united eradron
will have on board an envoy from the Minister of
Foreign Affairs of France, with decisive instractfons
for M. Stonier. Should the reply given to the de-
mands presented in virtue of these instructions by the
French ambassador, with all the characteristics of an

ultimatum, he, as seems to be expected, of a negative
character, diplomatic relations will be suspended, id
Brasier will withdraw on board the allied Beet.which
will make arrangements to remain in the Gall of
Naples In order to be ready to protect the French and
English residents.
The Fiord states that the Marquis Antonini has
received instructions from the King of Naples to

Letters from Vienna mention that Baron Hilbiee,
after having been received by King Ferdinand in an
official manner, had a private audience of his Majesty.
This news cams to Count Buol by telegraph, and the
same despatch, it is said, stated that the Baron had a

well-founded hope of being able to convince the King
of Naples of the necessity of changing his system.
However this may be, it is certain the Austrian
government is very anxious to see the whole affair
quickly and quietly arranged.

HOUSE RENTS AND WAGES AT PARIS.

Finance to the Director of Customs, annonzeing that
the government has rejected the claim of certain
English traders of Santa Maria to be exempted from
the payment of 20 reale for each cuk of wins taken
from that place by the river. Tho Espana had again
been seized. Oa the 10th October the concession of
the railway from Puerto Real to Cadiz is to be put
up to public comp:l66ov' and on the 13th those of
the sections from Madrid to Valladolid and Burgos
to Iran.

The Hoja Autografa, a ministerial publication,
says: " We should not be surprised if the site of the
ecclesiastical prof zrty were suspended. The suspen-
sion, however, would not be an indefinite adjourn•
ment of the sales,bat only a temporary interruption,
to afford time to the government to come to an
understanding with the Holy See on the subject. The
sale of the national and communal property would,
however, continue."

ITALY.

NAPLES.

Letters from Paris dwell on the imminence of the
rupture with Naples, and the measures adopted by
France and England to secure the objects of their
recent application to King Ferdinand.
The Paris correspondent of the Independence Beige,
repeating the assertion that each of the Western
Powers will send four ships of the line and four fri-
gates 'to the Bay of Naplee, states that the eight
French ships. commanded by Admiral Trehouart,
were to be sent off on Tuesday (yesterday), and that
they will be joined by the English ships at Ajaccio.
The names of three English ships are mentioned,
which are expected to form part of the squadron.
An attaché was to leave Paris on Sunday, with
verbal instructions for M. Brenier. The French
minister is, upon the arrival of the squadron, to
call upon the King of Naples, for the last time, to
comply with the demands of the Western Powers;
and if the answer be unsatisfactory, he is to retire
on board the flag ship of the squadron. No diplo-
matic agent will be sent out by England upon this
occasion. The Moniker will, in a day or two,
publish a note addressed to the European govern-
meets by the two Western Powers, justifying their
intervention in the affairs of Italy. It will probably
be urged, that no Italian question can be one merely
of internal policy, and peculiarly belonging to
the country where the events have occurred,
by which it is brought into prominence ; that

it is requisite, for the sake of general Earopeaa
interests, to provide against the oompliestions
which might arise out of so faulty and so perilous a
state of things as that which now exists in the Two
Sicilies ; that represwitatione have been made to the
King le proper diplomatio form, to which the King,
so far from paying any attention to thus, has replied
in a most unbecoming manner; that it is therefore
necessary for the Powers which have gone so far in
this matter mow effectually to intervene; and, lastly,
the note will terminate with a forcible disavowal, by
anticipation, of acy revolutionary movement, and
with a warning that any such attempt would bs
severely repressed, if it were loads under the pretext
of 00-oisrating with the measures taken by the
English and French governments, who have allied
themselves, from eminently conservative motives, to
act together on this occasion.
