BELGIUM.

The King of the Belgians, the Duke and Duchess
of Brabant, and the other members of the Royal
family, arrived at Ostend on Tuesday. Their re-
ception was enthusiastic in the highest degree.
There were processions of trades and societies as
at Brussels, and great display was made by the
authorities.

The Liege journals of Wednesday state that
public tranquillity in that place has not again been
disturbed. There was at one time, however,
serious symptoms of riot, which had been got up
by the exciting language of agitators, under pre-
text of the high price of corn. A mob broke into
the manufactory of arms, after having disarmed
the sentinel, and carried off eight muskets, which
were all that could be found at that time. They
were about to penetrate further, when the gen-
darmerie arrived, dispersed the rioters, and took
some of them into custody. The Independance of
Brussels states that on Tuesday night printed
papers, exciting to revolt, on the same pretext as
at Liege, were scattered about the streets of Ghent;
but the people who picked them up carried them
immediately to the police.

SPAIN.
The Madrid Gazette, of the 29th August, con-
tains a royal decree interdicting the entry and cir-
culation of the Times throughout the whole extent
of the Spanish territory.
The Three per Cents. were done at 445- ; the
New Three per Cents., at 23/ ; the Debt of the

A letter from Berne of the 29th ult. says :—"
SWITZERLAND.
The
ultra-radical meeting of Lugano, which proposed to
itsilf to overturn the Government of Ticino, has
completely failed in its object. The meeting was
not a numerous one, not more than fifty red radi-
cals being present. The proposition to summon
the government to withdraw met with but few
partisans, and led to such a tumult that menaces
were uttered on both sides."
A telegraphich despatch from Coire (Grisons),
of the 29th ult., in a Berne journal, states that
" Clemente, Cassola, and Grillenzoni, who were
accused of having taken part in the Milan plot,
have been acquitted by the jury."
AUSTRIA.

The Empress of Austria arrived at Mania, a
villa of the Grand Duke of Tuscany, on the 22d
ult., from Massa. The Grand Duke and Grand
Duchess left the baths of Lucca expressly to meet
her Majesty there. On the 23d, her Majesty left
for Modena.

The Russian diplomatist, M. de Fonton, has been

received with the greatest distinction at Belgrade
Two sentinels have been posted at the door of his
hotel, and Prince Alexander paid him a state visit
with great pomp and ceremony.
The Council of the University of Cracow has pro-
posed that the lectures shall henceforth be delivered
in the German, instead of in the Polish language._
This proposal has been accepted by the Schools of
Law and Philosophy, while the School of Medicine
declared itself incompetent to decide on the ques-
tion.
The abolition of the state of siege in Vienna and
Prague, and of the drum-heads in the Lombarde"
Venetian kingdom, is considered a sure indication
that the Emperor will very soon order milder mea-
sures to be employed in Hungary and Transylvania.
The betrothal of his Majesty will give the Viennese
an opportunity for a display of feeling, and it real'
be expected that on his return to the capital the So-
vereign will be received with genuine enthusiasm.
Those who are able to form a correct opinion en
the subject are well aware that in future the mili-
tary must be content to go hand in hand with the
civil power.
It has at length been resolved to construct a rail-
way
from Botzen to Verona, within three year et the_
a half. The object of Austria probably is to gets
better of Sardinia, which has held out pros pec of
accomplishing the journey from Alexandria to Lon-
don, via Genoa and Turin, in 178 hours. It is cal-
culated here that the same journey may be per-
formed by way of Brindisi, Naples, Rome, Benin'
zona, Constance, and Ostend, in 141 hours. For
some unknown reason Prince Daniel of Montenegro
has relinquished his matrimonial project.
It has not passed unobserved that the French
Government has affected not to notice the Austr°'
Belgian Family allance.
The Customs' tariff of 1851 has undergone a
thorough revision, agreeably to the conditions of,
the Austro-Prussian treaty of February last. It ww
be found in the new tariff, which will come int°
operation on the Ist January, 1854, that the AO"
trian duties are not very different from those
of the Zollverein, and that a great step has been
taken towards the realisation of Baron Bruck 's idea
of a great Austro-German Customs-Union.
cannot be doubted that for a time the Austrian
manufacturers will suffer severely, but if proper
energy is displayed they soon will be in a position
successfully to compete with their neighbours.

In the course of next month both the King d

in the capital of Bavaria, in consequence of the
recent engagement of the Princess Elizabeth with
the Emperor. The father of the bride-elect, I

ITALY.
A letter from Rome of the 25th ult., inile

The following sentiment may be found in every
