dering him not to fire again on the city.
&tossers, Nov. 13.—The National Congress in the
sitting of yesterday (the 12th) was first of all to
have appointed a Committee to draw up an Address
to the Provisional Government in answer to the opening
speech ; but M. Van Meenen proposed that they should
first consider all resolutions and proposals previous to the
adoption of the regulations (regiment, standing orders) as
of no ; and second, proceed to put this reglement in
force, after which they might discuss the said proposals, &c,
A debate ensued, after which a Committee of nine
members was appointed to draw up the address, and While.
they were engaged in this business the Assembly proceeded
with the discussion of the regiment. During the deli-
beration the President announced an important conimuni-
caticn from the Provisional Government, and it being re-
solved to hear it immediately, M. Ch. Regier was intro..
iliumd to make the communication verbally. M. Rogier
said to the Assembly :---
" The Provisional Government having notice of the
definitive constitution of the National Congress, comes to
deliver up to this Assembly the power which it has
hitherto exercised and deposes on the bureau the acts
which it has done up to this day."—(Profound silence.)
The President—l propose to give an acknowledgement
to the Provisional Government of the receipt of this com-
munication—(Assent.).—What will the Assembly do with
this communication ?

M. de Statisart—lt is important that there should be no
absence of the executive power, and 1 propose that in the
name of the Belgian people, the ancient members of the
Provisional Government are invited to continue the ex-
ercise of their functions.

This motion was received with unanimous applause.
It was resolved that the communication should be made
by the President, who not being willing to take on him-
self the expressions to be employed, it was decided that
he should express himself as follows

" The National Congress, impressed with the great err-
vice that the Government has rendered to Belgium, his
charged me to express to you its lively gratitude, and to
request you to continue to exercise the executive power,
till the National Congress shall otherwise have provided
for it."

The President withdrew, hiving declared the assembly
permanent till his return. M. de (ierlache took the
chuir.

At half-pait five the President returned. One of the
Secretaries read the answer of the Government :-- -
" The Provisional Government, obedient to the National
will, will continue to exercise the executive Government
till the Cougrese shall have replaced it by a definitive
power.

•' It is happy and proud to see itself confirmed in these
elevated and difficult functions by the assent of the National
Congress.

MaritticE, Nov. 2.—We may now, without too much
flattering ourselves, indulge a hope that the long debated
subject of the navigation of the Rhine may be finally
arranged before the end of this year.
In the conclusion of the 495th protocol, closed on the
13th, the Central Committee declares unanimously that
the plan presented by the Commissioners of Prussia and
the Netherlands, fur a convention and regulation relative
to the navigation of the Rhine, is adopted in all its essen-
tial Foints. Sixteen minor points remain fur future dis-
cussion, respecting which the Commissioners are requested
to obtain instructions from their Governments by the 7th
of December this year.
Should all the points alluded to not be adjusted in the
time fixed, those that remain 611411 be the subject of
further negociatiun ; but the general treaty shall be drawn
up and ratified by all the plenipotentiaries who shall meet
for that purpose on the 15th of December at the latest.
