FLANDERS AND DUTCH MAILS.

BRUSSELS, AUGUST 22.—His Majesty, on his last visit
to Paris, obtained the cross of Officer or Knight of the
Legion of Honour for twelve Belgian officers. Several
of the French officers in the Belgian army have returned
,o France; the number of those who remain is reduced to
fifteen, viz., one general officer, two lieut.-colonels, three
majors, eight captains, and one lieutenant. Orders Irive
just been given to the troops that had been sent to the
province of Luxemburg to return to their usual garrison.
We learn that this measure has been adopted because there
is no longer any appearance of a conflict on account of
Martelange, and the Cabinet of the Hague has repeated the
most satisfactory assurances that the differences shall be left
entirely to the decision of the Boundary Commissioners.
A letter from Berlin of the 12th inst. says nothing is
yet known of the subject to be discussed in the As-
aernbly of the Delegates of the States from the
German Commercial League. We hear, however,
that among the subjects to be brought forward
are the duties on sugar, reprisals to be adopted
against the prop bitory system of Russia, and the introduction
of a commercial code. We give these as reports. A re-
duction of the postage of letters is likewise spoken of,
which is likely to meet with more opposition in Germany
than in England. It is said that the chief object of Dr.
Bowring's mission is to enter into a negotiation with
Prussia on this subject. The negotiations between the
English and Prussian Governments for the reciprocal pro-
tection of literary property continue. England is naturally
very desirous to exclude from the German market the
Belgian piratical editions of its literary productions, but
we are not so interested on this point, because the enormous
duties imposed by England on foreign books are nearly
tantamount to a prohibition.
BRUSSELS, Atm. 3.—We have received accounts from
Charleroi, which are of a serious nature. It appears
that the deplorable accidents that: have occurred in the
coal mines of the province of Liege, have induced the en-
gineer to propose to the Government precautions of so un-
usual and extravagant a nature that the proprietors and
workmen declare them to be absolutely impracticable in
the mines of Charleroi. Twenty Mining Companies, whose
mines furnish the whole of the important part of the
emit basin of the Sambre, have received a circular from the
Government stating the measures proposed by the chief
engineer of the mines of Mons. The working of the pits
is to be suspended till the measures are carried into effect.
Above 30 pits, which supply all the important manufactories
of that district, will be shut up if the owners refuse to
comply with the proposals made to them, which pit is said,
they have unanimously declared to be impracticable in the
basin of the Sambre.

VIENNA, AUG. /4.—The Archduke Palatine comes
from time to time from Presburg to visit the Imperial
family, and give an.account of the proceedings of the Diet,
which do not seem to be answerable to the wishes of the
country. Prince Metternich was seized yesterday with
an indisposition, which, though slight, confines him to his
apartments. There are almost daily consultations at the
Chancery of the Ambassadors of England, France, Russia,
and Pius is. Every week there is an exchange of couriers be-
tween this city and Constantinople, London, Berlin, and
Paris. Though the proposal to make Vienna the centre of
the discussion respecting the East, is not agreed to, perhaps
on account of a mere formality, yet these discussions have
been going on for some time ; and as the Powers are fully
agreed respecting the basis of arrangement between Me-
hemet Ali and the Porte, and the latter has accepted their
intervention, we may expect with confidence the speedy
pacification of the East.
The Russian Ambassador, Baron Von Tatiscbeff, who
r is absent on leave, is expected here shortly.
THE HAGUE, AUG. 20.—His Royal Highness Prince
Albert of Prussia, who is expected to•day or to-morrow, is
at present in the Bosch. His Royal Highness Prince Fre-
derick is expected to return to the Hague about the 21st
or 23d instant.
PROVINCE OF ZEALAND, AUG. 18.--With the exception
of the military movements occasioned by the dismantling
of the fortresses and the forts, everything here is in a
state of the most profound peace.
BREDA, AUG. 19.—We hear that the Council of War
(or rather permanent court martial) of the army in the
field, will be dissolved at the beginning of next month.-
We hear nothing certain of the disbanding of the militia
of the class of 1837, whence it is supposed that this will
not take place till the militia of the class of 1839 are
called into service.
BRUSSELS, AUG. 21.—1 t is said that unforeseen circum-
stances, in which politics however have no share, may,
perhaps, prevent M. Dubas de Ghessigms from accepting
the post which has been proposed to him, of Minister of
Belgium at the Hague. Nothing, however, can be posi-
tively affirmed on the subject. I have even reason to
believe that M. Dubas do Ghessigms will go in a
week to the Hague, either to enter on his functions, or to
make the King acquainted with the reasons which will

oblige him toCieclitie the honour of representing the King
of the Belgians in Holland. In the latter case it seems
that the choice of our Government will fall on Ptince
Joseph de Chimag, eldest son of the Prince de Chimag,
Chamberlain to King William, and formerly member of
the First Chamber of the States-General.
