BRUSSELS AND GERMAN

BRUSEELS, SE I'T. 20.--Th., ship Ej/antinc, from New-
castle, which his j:IA arrived at Antwerp, has brought
we 1103
new locomotive cingine of greater power than anY
hitherto possessed. It ilitrers in some particulars from those
now in use ; among other things, its wheels are of liarger
dimensions. r
Hopes have been held out ti pit we shall hAvc
'Ng r•
,n
at Smyrna, and an Envoy at Constantinople, rt
minations would be of- more importance than can that V 1
Minister to Denmark, who may, however, be of scrviT
But the East, as bus been over and over again repeateo
•
may become one of the greatest markets for Belgian. Ivo'
factures. It seems that M. do Theux has not yet had tittle
to think of it. The Chamber will soon meet, and thcd
the Minister for Foreign Affairs will have still less leisur,
and the merchants who have so long solicited agents i"

I key, may take patience.
If we cannot well comprehend the devotedness eimen who attend the markets in our towns, to sell tor. o "'.
or two francs Bibles or New Testaments e hick cost them
tlnls.!
four or five, we comprehend still less the hindrances
sla,tlLo'
precautions which they experience from the clergy, o,
have at all times sanctioned and recommended the
tents of these same books, in which not a comma has
bees
added or taken away. It seems that these sellers of Bib_le:
are not ignorant workmen, as might be supposed. S° r"..
of them are young men who had left the seminaries
completing their theological studies, and have embraced
tbis
species of apostleship in which they every day incur in . r
civilized cities dangers as real as do the Missionaries or
carry the Word of God to the savage tribes on the ban of
of the Oroonoko and the Missouri. An Epistle of one
these new St. Pauls has fallen into our hands ; we give
it
in all the simplicity of its evangelical style :—
66 MENIN, SEPT. 16.—Having arrived at Merlin on the
16th, we posted ourselves at eight o'clock in the morale
in the market-place ; the sale was very discouraging ; •
had disposed of only two Testaments when two priests came
to purchase a Bible. As soon as they had paid for it, th‘ey.
began to tear it to pieces, and to scatter the leaves in tut'
air ; only one other peson followed this example. r
" On our right hand we had the cheese-market, on our
left a ballad singer with a picture, who was surrounded °y..
the country people. As soon as they saw a priest tearing'
large book, they quitted the cheese and the ballad singer i,tl
come to us ; the consequence was that we immediately Solabove a hundred volumes, and ware followed to our lorin
ings, where we sold about twenty more, and the sale sale
continued. The town-major has bought three 'Testament''
The priests have fulminated against us from the pulP"
the children, it is said, shall stone us to-morrow ; Pcr'ens
of distinction of Courtrai have bought Bibles of us.
.4 COURTRAI, SEPT. 18.—The sale here, as we had fore-
seen, has been extraordinary. Persons have beers paid, It
is said, to persecute us, and we have several times been On
the point of being thrown down. The police of Courtrai
has interfered in our favour. Nearly 100 volumes litt`f
been sold, and some stolen ; one Testament has been torn
We have no books, and are going to Bruges, where
shall wait for them. Pray for us, dear brother 1 foc
have need of courage."—Cleurrier Beige.
VIENNA, SEPT. 11.—The Emperor and Empress hats from Maria-Zell, where they made rich preset'''.
to the church, and arrived yesterday, in pof
erfect health, at
the palace of Schoenbrunn. The repf.,rt of the return
the Archduke Palatine is premature. The inhabitants °
Vienna have been gratified to-day by a new and highly int,e
resting sight. The Maria-Anna st:tam-boat, intended to PO;
between Vienna and Linz, whist is fitted up in the nest
elegant manner, havir'i arrived from Pesth the evening be
fore yesterday, and early this morning entered the canal'
and passed the two bridges with its chimney and mastslc4;
ered, most unexpectedly came about nine this morning,t
the Ferdinand Bridge, which is extremely frequented, be',ll,
the communication between the city and the Leon°.
stadts. There she now lies in the canal of the Danube'
waiting till the water, which is now high, shall have &bell'
in order to pass this bridge, which is rather lower than tbet
other, and to proceed on this its first voyage to Linz. Tha f
a steam-boat of 60 horse power, and of the dimensions °
the Maria-Anna, should be able to pass the Canal f
the Danube, and under the Bridge, is an event of gre,
importance in the history of steam-navigation, and It
may be considered as a happy prognostic of the furthe,e,
extension of this noble undertaking, by which travellers further
have a new road opened to them through the most Pie-
turesque parts of our beautiful Austria. The pu'olic has taken
the most lively interest in the eircuinstarree, and cool:
less multitudes have flocked to view this elegant vesse
which is handsomely ornamented with the colours of A'l6(l
tria, and those of Vienna and Linz. The Emperor
Empress, and some members of the Imperial Family, hav:
come to town to-day. Their Majesties,
as well as Prince
Metternich, who afterwards viewed it, expressed their 94-
tisfaction in the warmest terms.
BERGEN, SEPT. I.—The Marquis of Waterford is °°:
so entirely recovered, that he jqins his friends in their
cursions into our mountains. We cannot refrain however'
on this occasion from making the remark, which we regret'
that there is in the conduct of these Englishmen much t°
blame, and the Nobility which is distinguished above t 1
of all ogler nations for superior knowledge and huma°434
can be little honoured by having these gentlemen for its
representatives in this country. Two of them were ar
rested last night for infraction of the police regulations, b°d
t.ct at liberty en procuring bail.
HANOVER, SEPT. 16.—His Majesty, accompanied by
Major-General Von Lins;ngen, and two aids-de-camp• yet
out today for Weende, near Gottingen, to be present

neral Lewasshew, and to Brourian, Lieutrmant-Genera,

their respective Sovereigns, and cor.cerred on them at

terday the Austrian Ambassal th
honour to present letters of condolence and congratui3ti°:
from the Duchess of Parma, the Grand Duke of Tuscany''
the Duke of M'Alena. or, Count Kuffstein, Iwo
The mourning for the late King ended yesterday. of
His Majesty has been pleased to confer the Cross.
Commander of the Guelphic Order on the Prussian Pt%
Counsellor Dr. Graefe. The Doctor whom dutite

direct the medical treatment of the Crown Prince asil:pr.
Wore, and will keep a constant correspondence With a
Steiglitz and Dr. Spang,enbourg, who are highly celeigate
as oculists.
STOCKHOLM, SEPT. 12.—The King set out yesterdaSfor t,
