LONDON,
THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH 11, 1830.

We have received this morning Brussels
Papers of the 10th March, from which we make
the following extracts :

WARSAW, FEB. 23

We learn that the Russian Government is going to take
against the Jesuits measures still more severe than those
which we announced some weeks ago. Several laymen
initiated into that order, and some of whom are married,
have found their way into the southern provinces of Russia,
especially those near the Black Sea and Mount Caucasus ;
there are many Catholic Armenians among them. The
conversions which these gentlemen have attempted to make
among the schismatic Armenians and the Georgians have
been discovered by the Russian police, which has ordered
three of these Jesuits to be arrested ; one of Whom is mar-
ried, has his wife to share his captivity. It is not yet
known what will be their fate, and it is affirmed that the
Russian Ministers in the several Courts of Europe hays
received the most peremptory orders not to grant passports
from Russia to any person, 'whether a priest or a layman,
who is suspected of belonging to the ordwr7ofJesuits. It i 4
added, that henceforward all persons connected in any man-
ner whatever with this order, who shall endeavour to enter
the country clandestinely, shall be immediately arrested
and sent to Boresow, in Siberia, near the Froeen Ocean.
saussrLs, MANCH 6.

The French Journals repeat what some of our papers
have said of a supposed intention of our Government not
to convoke the next session of the States General at
Brussels. We can state that hitherto there is no indi
cation whatever that th© Government has taken such a re
solution.

BRUSSELS, MARCH 8.
The _Amsterdam Commercial Paper publishes the fol-
lowing extract of a letter from Batavia, of 3d November,
1829 :—" Affairs at Java nre taking a more favourable
turn, especially sines the submission of the famous Scolot
lie was the first and the most aide of Diepo Negoros,
chiefs, the one who did us the mo:t injury, because he
knew how to command his troops with skill, and to en-
courage them by his personal bravery ;--desertion, and
that of a great number of his partisans, leaves Diepo
Negoro almost alone ; and if the place (Ibis retreat is dis-
covered, the war will soon be terminated.
The trOub'es in the Moluccas are allayed, and we ex-
pert here M. de Merck's, who has been as Commissioner
to Amboyna, and has just arrived at Sourabaya on hoard
his Majesty's corvette the Comet.

The following are extracts from Lisbon Ga
zettes to the 27th February intlusive

OPORTO, FEB. 15.
•ne have received a letter from Almeida, dated the sth
instant, which gives a most distressing account of the da-
mage done by the intense cold of this winter. It states
that oil, milk, and wine froze even in their houses, that
the water in all kinds of vessels was frozen into solid
masses ; that the wells, ponds, and rivers were frozen to a
great.depth ; that a vast number of lambs and sheep po-
lished, and that the deaths, particularly among the poorer
classes, were innumerable. An immense quantity of snow
had fallen.
The Lisbon Gazette, of Feb. 24, contains the Speech
of the King of Great Britain on the re-opening of the
Session of Parliament ; that of the 25th, extracts from
the debate on the Address in the House of Lords ; and
that of the 26th, extracts from the debate in the House
of Commons, on which it observes, that the debate in the
House of Commons was no less favourable to the cause of
justice and Portuguese legitimacy than that in the Lords.
It is worthy of remark, that in the House of Commons,
where the idea of a rash liberalism might' be supposed to
have the most influence, there were, however, fewer' than
in the Lords who disapproved of the conduct of the Go-
vernment, and its favourable sentiments towards our
angust Sovereigns

It will be seen that LORD PALMERSTON'S
able and spirited motion for the production of
Papers relating to Portugal, obtained 73 votes
against 150. The question,l of course,
turned upon the merits of our Portuguese policy
within the last two years, and the fact of the
Papers called for being of such dates as not to
interfere with pending negociations, did not,
therefore, operate in favour of their production,
as it would if the motion had been made with
the sole view of obtaining those documents.
The difficulty of fastening any specific charge
upon the Government in their conduct with re-
gard to Portugal, consists in this. The inward
spirit of our Ministry, rather than its outward
actions, has been favourable to usurpation, and
luke-warm, if not hostile, to the success of the
Constitutional cause. The whole moral weight
of Great Britain has been ranged on the side
which is not that of freedom and social improve-
ment, Bo far as Portugal is concerned. The
