13ELO/C PAPERS.

13aussEt.e, 28.—The National Congress in its
yesterday's sitting adopted a law relative to the pithlica-
lift of its decrees, but as what is the plainest is often
the least thought of, the Aseentlaly forgot to determine the
mode of publishing its ttens preteding yesterday's sitting, and
it wilt probably be obiged to pass a special laW fur this
purpose, One the decree of ye:nerdy einnut have a re-
tropective effect.
We had joyfully interfed the news spread here and at
Liege, of a niitts experienced by the Dutch troops of the
corps ender the Duke of Saxe-Weimar. The Belgians, it
was said, had taken 2,000 prisoners) anti a great number
of cannon. There: is no ttittit Whatever in these state-
merits, since the Proeitional Government does not conde
scold to tell tilt a word on the subject it seems that there
existt, with respect to the news from our armies, an or-
ganized System of deception, we know not to What pur-
pose. floweverOve are not far from seising the threads
of this intrigue, and being.able to give to the public some
information nu this subject, which will surprise it.
Out civic guard is threatened with a measure which
has spread alarm throughout Brussels. It is said to
intended to disarm it, and to give its muskets to other
corps, which will go to join the army. It is certain, that
we are indebted to the civic guard for the tranquillity
which we have long enjoyed in this capital, and that to
deprive the guard of the means of maintaining that trail-
qtaillity, by taking away Its arms, is risking not.only our
peace, but even our existence: The enemy at home is no
lei to he feared than the foreign enemy. The latter ran
filly conquer a few leagues of ground, while the other
may in an instant overthrow the state and all private for-
tunes.
What is the Prince of Orange no* to us? He is pro-
set thed with his whole race : it is nothing to us whether
he lives or dh s, nor need we etre whether the justification
of the conduct of that Prince by M. Lehon in the Con-
greys is satisfaciory or incomplete. It appears, however,
that this Prince of Orange is still offended with certain
persons who have made him commit suicide, though he
is in very good health. This news, of little importance
its itself, comes from that manufactory, the productions of
which we are carefully watching.
Almost all the Belgians employed in the higher depart-
ments who were at the Hague have returned to Brussels.
It was with the greatest difficulty that they succeeded in
getting into Belgiutn. Several of them have employed
seven or eight days on the road from the Hague to Brussels,
and have been obliged to leave in Holland their wives and
children. They relate that latterly the Belgians no longer
dare to show themselves in public places, or even to quit
their housee. They all expressed the greatest joy at having
returned to Brussels.

A NTWILIIP, Nov. 27.—General Niacin and Major
Kessels are gone to the Campine. General Mellinet is
gone towards Afaestriehr.

LIZGE, Nov. P7.—We have learnt nothing positive
respecting the engagement between our troops and those of
the Duke of Saxe Weimar. This morning, at ten &clock,
no report • had reachid the military authorities. It is
affirmed, however, that many wounded have been brought
into Illiestrieht.

The Prussian troops assembled in the provinces of the
Rhine and Westphalia amount to only 35,000 men. It
was by a mistake that they were stated to amount to
75,000.

Baussna, Nov. 28.—A British Cabinet messenger,
who arrived here the day before yesterday from London,
with despatches fur the. Provisional Government, set out
again yesterday at noon, with despatches fur London.
Sortie journals have announced a battle near Venloo be-

tween our troops and the enemy. This news is false.
Our troops hale taken a position, but no engagement btu
occurred.'

We find that the King of Holland has accepted the ar-
mistice proposed by the five Powers, and gave orders on
the 234 arid 24th to the Dutch troops to suspend hos-
tilities by sea and lam!, to raise the blockade everywhere,
and to evacuate all the places which were not occupied by
the Dutch before the treaty of the 30th of May, 1814.
The city of Antwerp is among the number.
Measures will be immediately taken to regulate the
frontiers. The &Wan and the Dutch Governments will
oast'► send two Commissioners to the spot. These Com!
missioners arepot yet known. _

The strength of the Prussian garrison of Luxembourg
has been exaggerated. It consists of 24 companies, the
strongest of which is 170 men ; but it will be shortly re-
inforced. The SOth Regiment is to leave it, but will be
replaced by two others, which will increase the garrison
by about 1,000 men.--Journal de la Belgique and Trai
Palriote of Nov. 29.

* The Politique gives the following account of the
Movements of the Dutch :—The troops under the Prince
of Saxe Weimar intended- to proceed to Venloo. On ar-
riving at Maesyck, the-Duke received notierfrom General
Dilibets of the armistice concluded between 'Belgium and
Holland, and returned, As we are assured, to the position
which he occupied on the /Ist in the evening. Thus
much, however, is certain, that he is at this moment at
NVeert, half way between Maestricht and Bois-le.Duc.

The Presbytery of the Scotch Church, Lou-
don, met on Tuesday, the Nth of November, at the
scotch Church, Loinkm •wall, the Rev. A. R. TAYr OR. in
the Chair ; when the report of the Committee appointed
to “amine the work of the ttev. EMYARD IRVING, OD
" ilumnnity," was brought tip and read by the
Rev. 3. CROAIRIP:. The report, which was 'minutia,
cremate, concise, comprehensive, and temperate, charged
itsypio with holding
.Christ guilty of original and
actual sin, and with denying the doctrines of atonement,
sati,faction, imputation, and substitution. Three charges,
substantiated by quotations from the work itself, and con-
fronted with passages in the Scriptures, the Confession of
Faith, and the Assembly's Catechism, were warmly re-
jected by Mr. flastwron, brother-in- law of Mr. TRYING.
The report, notwithstanding, was received, and ordered
to lie on the table till the next meeting of Presbytery.

LONDON,
THURSDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 2, 1830,

By the French Papers we perceive that there
is a great deal of enthusiasm excited in those
provinces contiguous to the anticipated scene of
war. No sooner had news of the arming of the
Foreign Powers been received on the borders of
France than the population of the eastern de-
partments were in motion, and more patriotic
even than in the memorable days of 1793. The
Canslitutionnel says, " Without waiting for the
orders of Government they ran to arms, and
rishig'en masse, they prepared to repel unjust ag-
gression. In the towns, villages, and hamlets,

they are all organized. Lorraine and the Vosges
set the example. They began by forming pa-
triotic associations, and securing each other
against the misfortunes of war. In the Meuse, and
in the Meurthe, all the inhabitants of the Com-
munes, civic or rural, have applied their private
funds, as well as subscriptions, to the purchas-
ing of sabres, guns, and cartouch.boxes for the
volunteers. The small Commune of Gondrecourt
has requested, moreover, authority to advance the
profits of their v►ood-cutting for one year, in
order that they may assist in the same object.
The city of Bar and the village of Sam-
pigny have raised cavalry at their own expense,
in short it is all emulation and enthusiasm in
our beautiful Lorraine. This ardour cannot
fail exciting sympathy in every part of France."
`Who after reading such a display of warlike
patriotic feeling can doubt for an instant of the
results ? Burgundy, Champaigne, Franche-
compt, Dauphine, and L'Auvergne, all partici-
pate in the same feeling, and will rush to
arms with equal energy and heroic ardour.—
From the Pyrenees to the Alps the terri-
tory in a few days will be bristled with bayonets.
Let Europe, then, or we may say, the Kings now,
advance."

We have much pleasure in directing attention
to the eloquent and spirited speech of Mr.
ROBERT GRANT to his constituents, at Nor-
wich, and more particularly to that part of it
where be alludes to the embarrassments which MS
MAJESTY'S Ministers have at this moment to
contend against. The advice of the Right lion.
Gentleman is highly judicious and seasonable,
and we have no doubt will be acted on

"In your principles, be decided ;—in your
professions, be honest ;—in your plans, be wary ;
—but, in action, strive as forlite and for death!"
--(Loud and long cheers.)

By the Flanders Mail we have received papers
and letters, which state that a corps of Prus-
sian troops, posted in the vicinity of the Rhine,
expects every moment to receive orders to
occupy the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg ; that
the contingents of the Confederation will soon ar-
rive on the banks of the Rhine, the Moselle,
and the Meuse ; and that magazines of proH
visions and forage are funning on all the roads
by which these troops are to pass. This show
evidently points to war, though how long Prussia
will be able to maintain it, or how soon the bete-
rogenous dominion of Russia will be dismembered

thereby, it is not for us to say. We imagine
that we see symptoms of a revolution in both
kingdoms, in the mere fact of their preparations
for the invasion of Belgium.

BRUSIXLS, Nov. 29.—A lettrr from (Mend of Nov.
27, says:—

" For some days past a, Dutch frigate and some brigs
have been continually in sight of this port, stopping and
visiting all vessels, without distinction, entering and de.
parting.
Two English vessels, laden with arms for our Govern.
ment, have al riverl at Dunkirk, on account of the blockade
of Ostend. These arms have just been sent in boats to
Brussels. A vessel with 15,000 muskets on hoard passed
on the 27th by the c male of Porno. and Nieuport to
Plasendale, whence it proceeded by the canal to Bruges.
His Highness the Prince of Hesse Homburg, Alilitury
Governor of the fortress of Luxemburg, left it on the
24th to visit his principality. It is supposed that he will
not be long absent.
Ilaussnri, Nov. 30.-4,000 muskets have arrived
at Brussels, from Eugland, being part of the 15,000
offered as a present to our Government.
M. Post, editor of Le Belga, and At. Ed. Vander-
strarten, have just received (each of them) a summons in
the Dutch language of the following tenor :

ment in the tribunal of Louvain, Ace. &r.

other tnisdemeanors, provided against by Article One of

The mamma preparatory for the great work of the

sections of the National Congress. Two or three sections'
have already discussed the principal questions connected

nation will be subject by the lrre exercise of ice

the particular sections, has finally resolved to adopt them
