The following has been published souree
&ireful persons appear to think that the itnyal Rest)lotions of 14 li
June, 11125, respecting the Philosophical College at Louvain, will
be one of the sobjects of negotiation with the Court of Rome, and
may in the sequel undergo considerable mod i heat ions. T hise persons
NCCIII to forget that our fundamental law, establishing in this point
a perfectly monarchical regime, has assigned to the Crown the
right-13,1,0FM the duty—of directing public instruction. This is
sufficient to prove the extent of the right, and the mode of exercis-
ing it belong* to the department of Legislation and the Ministry of
the Interior, and can never depend on political discussions. We
can affirm that the Philosophical College will remain unchanged
upon the prevent bests, and with the preservation of the principle
of its institution. . . _ .

As the disorder which Iran been for some time prevalent at Gro.
ningsm still continues. his Excellency the Minister of the Interior
has thought it advisable that a more particular and accurate inves-
tigation shituld be made by competent persons into its causes, conse-
quences, effects, present state, probable duration, and the means of
obviating it, if possible, in future. ilia Excellency has thought
fit to appoint for this purpose a Committee, composed of the Presi.
dents of the Provincial Boards of Health of Groningen, Overynnel,
Friesland, and Drenthe, and those of the lineal Comtrittee at Gm.
ningen, in Ord!, to prucer.l on the spot Co ibis hist-nig:Mon, under
the superintendence of the Referential), for dp, nlflors relative to
the public health in the Department of the Interior, and to deliver
a scientific report on the subject to the said department. The Com-
mittee must meet at Groningen on the Gilt October, and proem! to
*Se business hereby assigned to them. The public officers who are
appointed to go to Brussels this time are preparing to depart to that
city. white the Ministerial Bureaux are to commence business on
the 11th instant. Besides the budget for 11127, there will be laid
before the Mates-General a law respecting the organization of 'he
