of the Prefects, composed of the principal Merckants, rho
shall form a Loan Committee.
" Art. 4. Every .loan or advance can be made only on
the security of goods, merchandise, nr other value, at least
equal to the amount of the sum lent or advanced.
" Art. 5. The payment of the hoses which may result
from this guarantee will not be called for until the expira-
tion of two years. This payment will he realized by
vote ofcredit, which will be demanded from the Chambers."

The Minister of Finance then explained the inten-
tion of another law, sanctioning the proceedings of
the previous Ministers in respect to the affairs of
Africa, and to request a new vote of credit. The
fruits of the conquest would certainly have paid the
expenCe of it had the probity of the agents been
more general.

After some more financial explanation, the hearing
of petitions was resumed. Of these it will be
necessary only to notice the following
" The Sieur Fremont, of St. Aubin, demands the re-
vocation of the laW of the 6th of May, *lBl6, which for-
bade divorce, or any Act authorizing a judicial separation
from his wife. The petitioner represented that he was
married while divorce was legal, and be had very powerful
seasons for wishing to be divorced from his wife."

M. Maden tle Monjan, who presented this pe.
titian, moved that it be referred to the Keeper ol
the gee's.

M. Eusebe de Salverte—When the law of di.
vorce was abrogated, many married persons were in
the progress of obtaining them. A man for whom I
boldtt petition, resembling that at present under
consideration, was in this situation, and although
It; years have Oared since the law of divorce was
abolished, both husband and wife are an►►ious for the
re-establishment of the law of divorce.—(A laugh.)
request the Chamber will send this petition
with the other to the Keeper of the Seals.

M. De Naafiles—The subject of divorce has
been examined only in a religious point of view;
but there exist many other important considerations
which have led to this abrogation—the connection
of families and the interests of children. The Com-
mittee has given this question too little considera-
tion. I move the previous question.
Many voices—" To the vote—to the vote."

The Order of the Day was then moved and re-
jected, and the petition referred to agreeably to
motion.

After hearing many other petitions, the sittings
terminated.

On the resignation of M. Berenger, M. Casimir
Delavigne, of the French Academy, is named a
Member of the Committee appointed to form a pro-
ject of law to adjust the conditions and forms ac-
cording to which the hollows of the Panthcou are
to be decreed to those who merit well of their country,

BRUSSELS PAPERS.
(From the Gazette des Pays Bus, Sept. 19.)

NAMUR, SEPT. M.—Namur has been declared
ins state of siege ; all the gates of the city are shut.
Young persons returning from the promenade have
told me that the officers of the guani at the iron gate
had told them, ►hat if to-morrow they were not fur-
nished with passports, they could not enter the gates
again.
General Van Gaon, accompanied by four gen•
dames, went to the barracks, and arrested an old
French (Ace; on half-pay, of Namur, enjoying a
pension from the French Government. This officer
has medals? is old, is a very peaceable man, and we
cannot imagine why he has been arrested and.con-
ducted to the citadel. His name is M. Naline.

At this moment (seven a.m.) They are paying a
visit to the dice of the ('currier de la Sambre; it
is a perfectly military and illegal visit, for the Judge
of Instruction has no cognizance of it. They are
now occupied in forming bodies of the militia, that
they may disperse the crowds collected in conse-
quence of this visitation. One of the bodies has
been hissed by the people: Some • persons who
were at the Palace of Justice, and whom the gen.
dermas have sent away, have made complaint of this,
Last night they brought doWn some artillery from
the castle, to fortify the ramparts.

terday (luring the morning has not been troubled for
tin blatant during the evening or the night.
Late events have only served to unite and
strengthen the Burgher Guards. The sepiaatjon of
Holland, submitted to sage financial and cofnmer-
cial
conditions, and constitutional and other ame-
liorations, which will be the result of it, is now the
wish of all those Who seek for the general good of
the country. No shadow of opposition, Liberal,
Catholic, or other,
.can have (so long as this hope
is not taken from us) more pressing interest. No
one, consivently, can desire any thing at this i1)0-
t but the maintenance of perfect harrnony, which
lot tunately shill not be disturbed.'

MAgSTRICUT, Sfli.T. 17.—We hope that the pro-
position to be made by the commission will have for
result the causing the Dutch troops to return to
their former cantonments, and thus Brussels,'Liege,
and Louvain will be restorer to civil life, waiting
until the projected separation be definitively
prcr-
nounced. We are informed that a petition against
the separation of the north and south is circulated in
this city. The hest proof that the authorti of this
petition are convinced that they represent the opi-
nion of the majority as to the wish they express, is,
that they envelop the work in the most profound
mystery.

LOUVAIN, SEPT. 17.—As soon as the news reached
I,ol4Vllin by the journals of the 17th, of the measures
taken at Brussels to acquaint the Deputies of our
provinces to the Hague of the impression produced
by the discourse and the message of the 13th, an
address was drawn up with all possible desi.atch,
prayipraying the separation of the Belgic and United

It is said that a Parliamentarian' has been sent by
the Burgher Guard of Lottyain to the commander
of the troops stationed at Campenhour, with the in.
tent of putting a stop to the difficulties which are
found in communications. We expect the return of
the Parliamentarian with impatience. .
