BELGIAN PAPERS.

Bitussres, FEB. 22.
PARTITION OF BELGIUM.
If we so urgently insist on the necessity of terminating
Tab' affairs, it is because we are not ignorant of the misfor-
tune with which we are threatened ; and since we must dis-
close it in its full extent, we subjoin the Ultimatum of the
Conference, which we have received from a sure source,
and the authenticity of which we cannot even suspect :
eitAntwerP and its citadel; all the forts depending on the
trans well as those ceded to Belgium in the Scheldt, and
exteel of territory on both banks of the river, of sufficient

Fiend Thee r
emainder of the province, a part of Limburg, Est
to th ,rs., and the greater part of West Flanders, to reiert
e wng of the Netherlands.
The Plovinces of Hainault and Namur, and part of Wal-
loon Brabant, belong to France.
The county of Liege and part of Limburg to go to the
German Confederation.
Luxemburg to continue to belong to the Grand Duke.
Brussels and Flemish Brabant, and part of Walloon Bra-
bant, to form a duchy, which would be the appanage of a
Prince, of which family is not yet known.
This is the project of Talleyrand. It has just been
adopted by the Powers who have signed the treaty of the
24 articles. What has hitherto kept them back is the fate
of Brabant and Brussels; but it has just been fixed defini.
tively, and even irrevocably, if we do not ham ten to accept
the proposals which the Ministry has just laid before the
Chambers. Courrier Beige.
The Chamber of Commerce of Brussels and of Mons
have addressed petitions to the Chamber of Representa-
tives, imploring it to approve the proposals of the Go-
vernment.

FEB. 2: —lt is affirmed that the seven Deputies of the
Capital veil 'be among those who vote for the project of
law, and in ~his case it will not be denied that they %Nil!
faithfully represent the opinion,: of their constituents. We
this moment learn that the Chamber of Commerce of
Liege present an address to the Government in favour of
Pacific solution of our political question.
It is thought that the report of the section will be made
to the Chamber on Tuesday in a public sitting.
To-day the four sections which had not named their
reporters yesterday met, and since have made their choice.
For the Ist, M. John Bohr is chosen to report to the cen-
tral section, his competitor was M. Duniortier. In the
4th, NI. Licdtz had the majority over M. Mitz, and ia the
sth, NI. Van Volzem, over M. Dubus.
~There is every reason to suppose that M. Vcrliagen will
0- chosen in the 3d section. Thus the central section
vrt ould not have a single partisan of resistance. The e'enral section is convoked fur to-morrow at 2 o'clock.
Independent.

RISTOL SUGAR-MARKET, FEB. 2g.—The
Sugar trade is in a wholly unpreced nted state—the stocks
are increasing the refiners arc unable to work at ant: re-
Inuneration—the grocers experience so little demand that
atheey kre perfectly indifferent about buying ; and yet prices
r advancing. The only solution thiat can be given of so
paradoxical a state of things is to be found in the appre-
hension of a considerableoff in the supplies from
wiColonies in the ensuing year, and, the correctness of
sh time only can show ; but it does not appear, from all
e can learn, that there is any ground for such anticipa-
tions relative to any part of the West with the soh,
exception of the Island of Jatraica, where the ,l :Titers
seem to be imbued with a spi,:t of inveteracy towards the
negroes that nothing can reconcile ; and the consequences
may affect, probably, the amount of produce. In Bri,tol
we continue to receive consignments from Liverpool, to
"PIAY our deficiencies : but it is a humbling reflection,
whatever may be the cause, that while the import of our
City is avowedly below her necessities, merchants prefer
