DISTURBANCES AT CLEVES.

BRUSSELS, MAncu 28.—The following account is in the
Journal of Nimeguen, of March 26 :
" We understand that on Sunday night there were dis-
turbances at Cleves. An assemblage of the populace
committed various excesses against the Protestants and the
Protestant churches.

At half-past eleven a great mob had collected in the
market-place, and proceeded successively to several
churches and houses, which were threatened, in order to
break the windows. The mob committed very serious
excesses of all kinds, and the riot was not quelled till
three o'clock in the morning.
The cause of this disturbance appears to have been the
publication of a pamphlet intended to refute another which
was directed against the Protestant religion. The windows
of the publisher were broken.
_ _

" Couriers were immediately dispatched, and to-day,
there is a considerable military force at Cleves. As there
was no garrison in the town, the local police would not in•
terfere lest it should make matters worse. A very rigor-
ous investigation is commenced."

A letter from Nmeguen, of the 25th, in the Avonddode,
is as follows—

" Every body knows the vigilance of the Prussian police,
and it is therefore matter of astonishment that it did not
take better measures to repress the disturbances which
have taken place at Cleves. Neither the Burgomaster nor
the Director of Police had at their disposal a sufficient force
to prevent these troubles which had been long foreseen.
" A person,it is said, who had a quantity cf wood in the
neighbourhood of Cleves has been forced to sell out at a
low price, because bodies of 15 or 20 persons came at
nightfall to help themselves at his expense. When he
complained to the Magistrates, the mob let him know that
if he did not act difLrently in future, all his property
would be destroyed."
It is said tint the Bargotnaster and the Director of the
Police were very ill used by the mob.
The disturbances at Cleves seem to have been serious.
The windows of the author and the publisher of the
pamphlet in favour of Protestantism were broken before
Sunday right. It was thought that all would end here,
but the disturbances were recommenced on Sunday night.
Mr. Simons, the author, being met in the street by the
mob, was saved by the interference of the Burgomaster;
he has fled from the town. There was but four of the
marechaussee at Cleves. The mob did not disperse, but
at the entreaty of the principal Clergyman. The town
has been declared in a state of siege. A safety guard has
beer formed out of the civic guard. These details are
extracted from the Avondbode.

KONIGSUURG, MARC!! 17.—We learn from `Vilna that
on Tuesday last the sentence passed on the persons ar-
rested for the late intrigues was carried into execution.
The unhappy instigator of these mad attempts, which
have brought such sufferings on many distinguished fami-
lies, was shot, and died with a composure worthy of a bet.
to cause. His name was Koinarsky, and he had returned
from France. Kakoszewieza, Radzewiez, Coneza, and
Rommcrs, landowners, are sent to Silesia, being sentenced
to hard labour for life. Twenty students, chiefly of the
suspended University of Kiew, have been sent to the Cau-
casus to be incorporated in regiments there as common
soldiers.

LUXEMBURG, MARCH 25.—Everybody here believes in
the acceptance and execution of the London Conference,
and that in as short a time as the diplomatic formalities
will allow. Our province will therefore give no occasion,
in a political point of view, to any difference between the
Powers ; but several highly important points, relative to
the administration of this territory, in which Luxemburg,
Belgium, and Prussia are concerned, will still remain to
be decided, but neither will this give rise to any difference.
KRANEXBURG, MARCH 2G.—lt was expected that there
would be fresh disturbances at Cleves yesterday evening,
but the firmness of the respectable citizens prevented it.
At eight o'clock there were assembled in the lowest
streets above 200 men and a number of women, in con-
sequence of an anonymous letter having been sent to the
Rev. Mr. Turman, threatening him and his family, and it
was therefore supposed that it was intended to plunder him.
It is reported that the Tax office and others were threat.
ened, by which the populace meant to express their dislike
to certain taxes. By an attack on those offices this distur-
bance would have assumed more of a political character.
The whole plan, however, was defeated by the judicious
measures of the civil Mareistrates, and the energy of the
well disposed citizens. The proclamation of the Burgo.
master, most strictly prohibiting more than three p.?rsons to
meet together in the streets, had a good effect. The Hei-
berg was cleared by the Burger-guard, which was orga-
nised yesterday, and armed with muskas, sabres, and
pikes. Some of the citizens were wounded by stones
thrown down on them by the mob, but this proved that
the courage of the well-disposed does not shrink from
danger ; about 20 of the ringleaders were arrested by them,
and are made prisoners.
_ _

By lli at night, tranquillity was restored, but the Bur-
ger. guard remained under ar.rs through the night.
\Vcikmen are already busy in repairing the broken win-
dows, at the expence of the town. The judicial proceed-
ings against the ringleaders and their accomplices, will be
immediately commenced, and doubtless carried on with
vigour and rapidity.

-1). S. I this yr;Oment learnt that 100 infantry, and be-
tween 20 and 30 Hulans have arrived at Cleves.
THE HAGUE, MARCH 28.—His Excellency, Baron Von
Maltitz, Russian Ambassador at the Court of the Nether..
lands, accompanied by Baron Von Omthal, Aide. de-Camp
to the King, set out this morning for Utrecht, whence the
latter will go to Nimeguen, where he will Trait for the
Russian Grand Dike, and the Russian Ambassador will go
on to meet his Imperial Highness at Cleves, who is ex-
pectedhere on Sunday.

Their Royal Highnesses Prince and Princess Albert of
Prussia, are expected here on the 6th of April.
