Brussels-Papers of Wednesday hate reached Us this'
morning. They are wholly destitute of news, as the
discussion in the Chambers was dragging its " slow
length along" more slowly than over. In the sitting of
Tuesday, M. PIETERS proposed an amendment, whi'ch
:was laid on the table ;: but in what it essentially differs
from' the Ministerial proposition, we, are really unable
to discover. The expresvcoadition of . a reservation
Of Civil and religious rights, and privileges to the in-
habitants of Limburg and Luxemburg, is already
guaranteed by the London Conference. The-hopes of
the Opposition of any Support from France, was fast
declining ; although, we
.regret to learn, by accounts
frthin Holland, thr.t the alarm excited there by the
triumph of the French Coalition, was fast increasing.

M. DJl!z; in his excellent report, ssys that "the etry
1 florin 50 cents. per ton, to,bc levied by Holland on the
navigation of the Scheldt, was confidentially proposed in.
1833, instead of the duty imposed by the tariff of Mayence,
which the 9th article of the treaty of 1831 applied to the
Scheldt, and the amount of which was four florins per ton.
Being familial- with statistical calculations, I have thought
it u-eful to show by figures the immense advantage that our
country gains by this modification, and consequently the
great loss which will accrue to Holland if we accept this
tr. a'y;

4. On examining the amount of tonnage of the ships enter.
ing the port of Antwerp, we' find that the difference in the
duty is 1,128,,707 florins, in our favour,. , In the eight
years there has been a real loss to Holland: of 11,109,280
florins in conscqu"nce of its refusal to vccept, the treaty of
183 1 . Itiosa• also by the new treaty the . arrears due to
Holland, amounting to 67,200,000 florins, makingn capital
of 70,309,28'0 florins, which at 5 per cent. is n pptpetual
gain to Belgium of 8,286;696 florins pnr annum.

" Thus, according to the treaty of 15th November 1831,
which you have accepted, our country would be burdened
with 17,871,289 francs per annum, mere than by the 'Lew
treaty now under discussion, and for this enormous annual
advantage, we are indebted to King. William's delay in ex-
cepting the treaty. It remains to be seen nhathey think
of it in Holland. These are facts. Let us not imitate
Xing William, but hasten to omc to a conclusion".
