means our paupers must increase in a double ratio, by the
great numbers disrhargca from the navy and army ; the lat-
ter clan having been used to receive a full allowance, may
find difficulties in short supplies, not so catily soothed tvhen
roused into action. This inciease will cane our parochial
taxes to be augmented, and the reduction of trade Palst
cause a reduction in our revenues : thus thy means of our
taxation must fall off in proportion, till the operation of the
folly and avariciousness of the land-owners fall on their own
heads,—a just retaliation for the injury these 1,1244106
paupers have received at their hands.

FOREIGN INTELLIGPNCE.

BRUSSELS PAPERS.

MANIIEIII, FEII. 14.—A Paris journal gives to Fiance the
departments of the Forests, the Ourthe, the Rhine, the Mo-
selle, and the Roer. Accounts from Vienna of the 9th dis-
pose of them rather differently. " Before the PA of March,"
say these letters, sou will know how much the Allied Powers
interest themselves in the happiness of Belgium. That king-
dom will, in power and extent, be a corn tnemial and manu-
facturing country, and will enjoy that happy independence
which is the fairest right of humanity."
The Paris papers continue their calumnies and black im-
postures on the pretended situation of Belgium, and yet these
journals are subject to the censorship. We shall not use re-
prisals; we shall merely observe, that the impure source
whence these Gentlemen derive their information, is known
to us with certainty—foreigners, too much favoured by the
mildness and the tolerance of the present Governments, arc
the authors of these articles.

on .the futnie organization of Germany, and endeavouring to
terminate, as soon as po,sible, a work so mential to the pub-
lic repose. They add, that they see no sufficient cause why
justice should not be done immediately to the claims of those
Princes who have no representatives, nor why they should
by excluded from deliberations in which they are so deeply
concerned, especially a‘: the parties which differed at the
commencement of the Congress have agreed on the principal
points, and no dissension is to he apprehended. This note
has been well reccis cd by Prince Metternich, who communi-
cated it to the other Ministers without delay. We learn
the same time, that in order to prevent the Committee from
being too numerous, it has been decided', that only two de-
puties of the Princes not represented shall be admitted, and
it is believed, as we said before, that the choice regards the
111iinistets of Hesse and Baden- It is supposed that a Saxon
linister will also be admitted to the Congress. as soon as the
King of Saxony has subscribed to the arrangements that have
been made with regard to Saxony.

Lord Castlereagh thought to have contributed much to
the settlement of this affair, which once seemed likely to he
protracted several weeks longer. Ile was not•willing to leave
Vienna till the discussions were ended, thinking this an
excellent way of answering the Opposition party. It i 3
likewise said, that his Lortlyhip has manifested an ardent
desire, that the fate of the left bank of the Rhine should he
decided previous to his departure for London. This ►ubject
engages all the attention of the negociators. Some person-,
imagine that the Noble Loid will not quit Vienna before
this great bminess is terminated. The English Minister wil:
also care• away with him the assurance of the etnameinatioe
of the uegrots at a certain future period, which is appointed
to take place in six years time.

The arrangements that have been concluded wilt, it is CK
pc c cd, be published officially on the itth, which is the Em-
perot's birth-day,

The Congress is at present occupied with the affairs of
Italy, and especially the kingdom of Naples.
The course of exchange upon Augsburg!' fluctuates be-

FOONTTERS or AUSTIII A, tER —Wc_are assured that
Lord Castlereagh has at length succeeded in prevailing upo;1
the Maritime Powers to abolish the Slave Trade, übich
entitle him to the thanks of Parliament upon his return to
London. Spain and Portlgal have, it is said, engaged to
abolish it in six years. We do not know whether it be trot-,
as reported, that France has enraged to abolish the trade in
Iwo years instead of five, as was stipulated in. the treaty cf

A negnciation was, it is said, entered into with Bunnamrte

Scotland. Ile rvjecteil all thepropositicni Inane to hint.
Upan the subject being 'brought under the consideration of
Congress, the liiissiati Plenipotentiary declared, that the
treaty concluded with litionapartc on the 1 Ith of April could
not be altered without his consent. Thus the matter 130 ".
