newal ef the Zolverein, and that it would be extended

to draw closer the existing union, by creating new
interests, destined to develope material prosperity.

BELGIUM.
The works for the fortifications ordered by the
Belgian Government at la Fete de Flardres, near
Antwerp, were to have commenced on Friday ; but
the men, dissatisfied with the wages offered them, re-
fused to labour. Having obtained possession of the
sheds erected for them, they declared they
would not give them up. On Saturday two
companies of Light Infantry were ordered
out. They loaded their arms in presence of
the men, and then drove them from the sheds. About
300 of the men subsequently proceeded to Antwerp,
where they formed themselves into a procession, and
paraded the streets singing " Malbrouck." At length
they peaceably dispersed.
