We have just received the following letter from our cur.
respondent in Brussels :
Brussels, July 2, Six o'clock.

The discussion relative to the acceptance of the 18 pro-
positions of the Holy Alliance is adjourned, after a stormy
debate, to to-morrow (Sunday). It is requisite, before I
mention a scene which took place in the Congress this
morning, to make you acquainted with the method in
which the people are allowed to be present at the sittings.
A gallery is appropriated to all such as are not fortunate
enough to be acquainted with a Deputy, and a tribune be-
neath the gallery was filled with canaille of the lowest
class, and whenever a remark was made either in favour
of Prince Leopold, or the propositions, the gods of the gal-
lery showed their disapprobation by yelling and howling.
In the coutse of the debate a M. Dewarde observed that
he thought the nation desired peace. He had scarcely
finished the sentence, than the gallery commenced hissing,
groaning, whistling, and barking ; the Deputies left their
seats, and fur more than a quarter of an hour the sans cu-
lottes had possession of the House. Tranquillity was at
length restored, by the President calling on the Civic
Guard to do their duty as good citizens and friends of
order. The Minister for Foreign Affairs (M. Lebeau)
during the sitting made the following declaration, in an-
swer to a taunt of M. Robaulx :—" I declare in the face
of the Congress and the nation, that my honour, my name,
and my situation, depend on the adoption of the proposi-
tions." He was greatly applauded.
M. Van de Weyer made the following proposition, by
way of amendment:—
" That the Congress declare to the Conference, that
they, the Conference, do acknowledge the Enclaves
Beiges, as sufficient compensation for Lemburg, Venloo,
and Maestricht. 2. That the statu quo of Luxembourg
he guaranteed, until the amount of the pecuniary indem-
nity be finally arranged."
The majority in favour of the Prince is hourly gaining
strength; the opposition are in despair, and are promul-
gating that the Prince will nut be able to remain on the
throne six months. I am, however, of quite a different
opinion ; and I firmly believe that the Prince will be sup-
ported by every respectable Belgian.
A report is this day spread that a formidable opposition
I has been organised at Liege, who intend to declare that
city an independent city, should Prince Leopold become
King. It appears great discontent reigns at Ghent.
I have just heard that our famous National Association
have been, during the whole of yesterday and to-day, en-
deavouring to negnciate a loan for 100 francs (11.), for the
purpose of paying the rent of the place of their meeting;
but until this moment without success.
The Congress is surrounded with Blue Smock men.
