BRUSSELS PAPERS.

(From the Journal de 1,1 Belgique of Thuroday and
Friday, Oct. 28 and 29.)

OCT. 26.

A letter from Maastricht of the fltstli says—" Our city
is now completely shut up, and the state of siege is en-
forced in the most rigorous manner. The 14th division is
shut np in the barracks, for baring refused to march
against the Liegeois, who surrounded the town. The hth
Regiment of Dragoons, or rather the lb() men who are the
remains of it, is shut up for the same cause."

General Nypels and H. Rogier are gone to the army
before A►ttwerp.
Our volunteers are almost under the walls of Antwerp.
Continual engagements take place in the imbeds,. The
intrepidity of our soldiers approaches to temerity they
pursne the enemy even under the guns of the fortres.. It
it reported that ColonelStappers was arrested butt ni,,ht,
and that his papers have been seized.

ttocm, our. th.
Serious suspicions are conceived of many /*mos of dis-
tinction in this city, relatively to the late trouhles.
Yesterday the same excesses were connuitted in the
country in the environs of Bruges. The wites of the town
are shut. Perhaps these troubles in the country are
a stratagem to cause the town to be evacuate(' by the
volunteers. A detachment of the Belgian Legion has
been cent to Coolscatnp.

" Eleven o'clock.

A most fatal catastrophe has taken plate At Antwerp.
, The news of the evaruation of that city, Which Was of-
ficially known at Enigmas yesterday., bad caused the
gee 4ett satisfaction, when in the evening and duriog the
whole night the visaing of the 'cannon, And the fatal light
of an immen►e fire, which was peirceived from the ram:.
parts in the distant horizon, too plsinly informed M. of
the dr( adfid situation of one of the must nourishing
tier pf Europe.
No Journal from Antwerp retched us today. The
information which we bare been Able to obtain necteettdli
partakes of the uncertainty end cOnfusion of the present
circumstances. The following is the most probside ttcr
Count that we have been Able to ' collect from the various
statements, . .

on monagy, the 24th, our volunteeret under the com.
*nand of General Mellinet And Lieut.-Col. Nielion, n,: u.pled the village .of Itirchani, Advanced toward. Antwerp,
and commenced a fire of mu4ketry with 'the enemy ; hut A
gre 4c part of the Patch, dreased in blonstec, like our veoplt,
having, by means or thin cuatunte; opproarlted the liar,r,
who thought they were of their own party, commenced a
murderous tire ott our voluntetrol and overwhelmed then,

The Prince of Oranle quitted Antwerp in the night of
Afenday. and ewsharked on board an Engtelt ship for Lon-
don. Earlyon Tuesday all the troops were shut up in the,
city, and had entirely abandoned the plain and the suburbs
to our volunteers. .
A secure then commenced in Antwerp which equalled
our most terrible days in 'September. Brericades were
recred—the people took up arins—tbe several prOsts oc-
cupied by the Dutch were attacked by the citisena—the
pat of the Great (hard and of the Palace on the Place
le Mir were especially the theatre of sanguinary etimbats.
Alm-art a whole battalion occupied these points : the citi-
zens, lowed as aharpahoot rs at the comers of the streets,
at the windowo, and bAtiaol the barriesr6, kept uPit most
murderous fire. The several compsnite of the ;Dutch
.rere at length obliged to take refuge in the citadel, leaving
echind a great :molter of killed. The city w.ut in the
power of the inhabitant*, with the exeeption 'of it couple
of posts still oseupied by the troop, one of which was at
the Malines gate. Hut yesterday morning our volunteers
,ten, tract! into the city by the tel gate, and )uined the
stlialiitante in attackiny, those pirate. They were carried.
after a desperate conflict, and the greater pint of the sob,
tiros in them perished ; eighteen pieces Of battering can-
non were found upon the ramparts : thenvere drawn into
' the city and pointed at the eineltl. All the Dutels,;to the
number of 4,000 men at the most, wete now shut up in
the citolel. The frigates and gion•lmats trete limered
near the basin.. On the other bank the eatentty woe in-
undated and forbad al approach. Aboot.ten Wald; it
parley was commenced With General Chasse, in the citadel.
The Belgiass, it is raid, attached to esery proposal for
in accommodation the condition ti.at the Dwell should
deliver up their arms and all the materiel of iho fumes.,
and that they should deliver up to our prelate the-ittlps of
war stationed in the port. The condition* were refused,
and about three o'clock a dreadful urnnonade rot:unmet
On the one hand, the citadel .and the 'hips of rre.
charged upon the city red- hut ball, bombs, slid *belief *a
.he other hand, the Belgians fired en the fortress and the
ships. At four o'clock the city seas on fire in four paces.
The entrepot caught fire, and the lames constnehheited in
a moment to the surrounding lOwsre. It is said that fire-
.hips prepared by the inhabitants at Tarnise rattle down
the rive r in the evening. Some Mitch ships weighed
anchor, but others were reached and burnt by the fire-ships.
The cannonade eontinned almost the whole niAlat.
Yesterday evening we saw distinctly from varlets* parts
of this city, the reflection of the flumes in the horizon.
The protracted roar of the earmos struck the ears of the
crowd attracted from all quarters of our pity, to arwriro
the melancholy certainty of the catartsophe which Wis de-

discharge of the cannon sounded mournfully, like at,dietset
echo of the dreadful scenes by which our ancient brained

Several detaehmente of volunteers have set out in the
night for Antwerp. A gre.rt number of cannon, luilveit.
