BELGIUM.

A letter from Brussels, dated yesterday, states
that the King of the Belgians had not yet come to
any determination respecting the resignation of
his ministers, and that the Cabinet will probably
remain without modification for several weeks.
The Independance, of Brussels, of Thurs-
day, says :—The King, we learn, will leave
on Friday for Ostend. His Majesty will
embark on Saturday morning in one of the
State steam-packets for Calais, where he will meet
the Emperor of the French. The King will sleep
at Calais, and will, we are assured, return to Os-
tend on Sunday. The Duke de Montebello, aide-
de-camp of the Emperor Napoleon, arrived this
morning at Brussels, charged with a private mis-
sion to the King of the Belgians. The Duke was
received by the King at the Palace of Brussels at
one o'clock. He will leave to-morrow morning for
Paris."
