' Carbone). The party, on reaching the state room,
were received by Odillon Barret, the Prefect of the
Seine. Having read the Address, &c., O'Gorman
Mahon deposited the documents in the hands of
General Lafayette : he then passed a handsome
eulogium on the glorious conduct of the French
people, and added the expression of the happine►s
he felt at having that public opportunity of testify-
ing the esteem and affectionate regard in which he
and his countrymen held the veteran Father of
Freedom whom he then addressed. General La-
fayette, in his reply, expressed his sense of
obligation to the Irish people, who always enjoyed
a great share in his affections. He felt the more ob-
liged ou the present occasion, as it was not the first
mark of their kindness, for at the period of the Irish
volunteers he had received distinct proofs of their
confidence. He could not better fulfil his present
duty than by committing such important documents
to the charge of the first officer of the city, to be
placed amongst the archives of France. After com-
plimenting the Hon. Member for Clare on the man-
ner in which he had discharged his trust and ful-
filled the mission with which he had been entrusted
by the Irish people, he shortly addressed himself
to the Prefect, who in return replied in an eloquent
and animated address. The ceremony being con-
cluded, O'Gorman Mahon was invited to partake of
a public banquet, and to-day (Saturday) was ap-
pointed for the purpose. The Hon. Member then
departed, accompanied by the Prefect of the Seine
and General Lafayette, and was subsequently intro-
duced by them to the Chamber of Deputies.

BRUSSELS PAPERS.
BELGIUM.

BRUSSELS, JAN. 6.—ln the Congress yesterday,
M. Vilain XIV. read the following proposition of
M. Pirson :
" I have the honour to propose to the National
Congress the following decree :—The National Con-
gress, considering that the Protocol of the 20th of
December last, which was, at first, announced as con-
taining the formal acknowledgment of the new State
of Belgium, contains, on the contrary, nothing but a
mystification ; directs the Provisional Government
to recall the Envoys from London immediately, and
resume hostilities against Holland; declares that the
fortune of war alone shall decide the question be-
tween the two countries; to which effect, and in
order that King William may not plead ignorance,
this present decree shall be made known to the ad-
vanced posts of the enemy by heralds at arms, ac-
companied by a flag of truce."
The proposition being supported—
M. Pirson addressed the Congress as follows :

" Gentlemen,—You have all, no doubt, as well as
myself, read and re-read the Protocol of London, of
December 20, and your indignation, like my own,
must have increased at every perusal. Will you,
then, any longer have confidence in the Diplomatists,
who at Paris, as well as at Brussels, have osten-
tatiously announced that the independence of Brus-
sels was acknowledged by the five Great Powers
Can it be that the following paragraph is meant
to convey this acknowledgment of the inde-

pendence of Belgium—' The Conference will
occupy itself with the new arrangements required
for reconciling the future independence of Bel-
gium with the stipulations of treaties, &c.' Can this
be called a formal acknowledgment ? We may hope
to be acknowledged at some future day, but it will
be only when we are ready to lend ourselves to ar-
rangements which shall come as nearly as possible
to the object of the treaties of 1814 and 181.5,

which object, gentlemen, was to oppose a barrier
against France, and hold our fortresses prepared to
receive the Russians, the Prussians, or the English,
who might imagine they had a right to make an at-
tack upon her. This was well while we were
under the government of King William—but at the
present day Surely they take us for Swiss, who
traffic their freedom for pay, and place themselves
under the command of any despot who will hire
them. In the last clause but one of the protocol, it
is declared, that these arrangements can in no
wise affect the rights which the King of the Nether-
lands and the Germanic Confederation exercise over

the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.' Weigh well,
gentlemen, every word of this paragraph. It ad-
mits of no question► as to the rights over the Grand
Duchy, which are positively assigned to the King
of the Netherlands, only it is stated that he was ex-
ercising them, while in fact they are now exercised
by us; it is true, we have not been in possession of
them for a yea and a day.—(Laughter.)—Not a
word is said about Maestricht, or the citadel of Ant-
werp, probably because the King of the Netherlands
still holds them, and that it is hoped he may be able
to retain them.

" A member of the Committee for Foreign Affairs
has told us that the King of Holland proposed to
evacuate the citadel of Antwerp on the 20th instant.
It is because he hopes that by the 20th the confe-
rences of London will have more completely ham-
pered us than we are now. These facts, gentlemen,
unfold before my eyes a project, upon which I cannot
entertain the t•lightest doubt. It is nothing more or
less than a division of the country that is contem-
plated. We shall see, or rather, we shall not see,
because you will take care to thwart perfidious de-
signs. To thwart these designs they must be known.
They are these :—setting out from the principle of
the balance of power of 1815, a balance, the only
object of which was to narrow the bounds of France,
whilst England, Russia, and Prussia, invaded all
they thought proper; it was felt at London' that in
consequence of our revolution, the diplomatic mate-
rials must be again manifested. It was these mate-
rials in 1815, animals to which the name of souls
was given, but who showed they had no soul, be-
cause they suffered themselves to be put in pound
like beasts. At present they are madmen, who run
about crying we are free,' whilst the straightjacket
of the colours that please theta is preparing for them.
Now we shall see what they will do with these mad-
mem of Belgium.
" Those who live upon the fertile soil of Flan-
ders, Hainanlt, Southern Brabant, the country of
Liege, and Namur, will still continue to cultivate
their lands, and will form permanent storehouses
for supplying the armies which, at the will and plea-
sure of the neighbouring kings, will joyfully come
to fight upon so rich a field.

" They well know we shall never consent to be-
come the gaolers of France, and perhaps they will
allow us to unite ourselves with her. They will
then form a new barrier to impound her beyond our
limits, which will comprise Luxembourg, Maestricht,
and Antwerp, and then combinations will be formed
between Prussia, Hanover, and Holland, always dis-
trustful of France. If, however, yon wish to oppose
this project, you must prepare for war, and not think
of sending envoys to London. Invite the Luxem-
burghers to arms, who will never consent to become
Prussians ; not one of them will hesitate to answer
the call. Do not suffer the month of January to
close without having a Constitution and a King,
or else renounce all claim to independence,
and by your envoys go with all humility,
to London, and receive the orders of the Holy Al-
liance. Let us collect together other circumstances
which comb nate my views of the matter. At
first, our diplomatists denied that any thing had
been said relative to a new chief for Belgium. On,
Member, however, acknowledged that he thought
that incidentally some mention had been made of
the subject at the conferences in London ; at least,
that if that had not been done, he wished it might
be. No one has censured, or ought to censure this
opinion. Another person has stated as a positive
fact, that France has objected to tile Duke tie Reich-
stadt, and the Prince de Leuchtenberg. Other
Members of the Congress, who may be believed to
have been well informed, say that all the Five
Powers have renounced for themselves and their
families all pretensions to become candidates. Thus
there can be no question of the Doke de Nemour9.
or any other French Prince, or of the Prince of
Saxe Coburg, so nearly allied to the King of Eng-
land, in the pay of that country, or of Prince Charles
of Austria, or of Prince Albert of Prussia. Prince
Otho, of Bavaria, has been highly spoken of, but

lie is a minor, and a Regency will keep us in an un-
settled state. The Prince of Salm-Salm does not
appear to have much chance.
" As to the Prince of Orange, he, I imagine,
must not be thought of ; first, because the Con-
gress has pronounced his exclusion; and next, be-
cause we know what restorations are. Moreover,
this Prince has not a character firm and judicious
enough to resist influences henceforth insupportable
to the Belgians. There wouLl certainly be a schism
in the nation and the army, and perhaps a civil war.
" Well, gentlemen, all these exclusions reduce us
to a native Prince, or a Regency, or a re-union to
France. It is to the latter issue that the conk.-
rences at London, in which Prince Talleyrand takes
part, would lead us, separating, however, Luxem-
bourg, Antwerp, and Maestricht, from Belgium.
" It is diplomacy that has created all these em-
barrassments. I have said it, and I repeat it, that
the Provisional Government has been made a dupe,
and we also by the counter blow.
" In revolution one should never stop until the
end proposed has been attained. The end of ours
was to emancipate the whole of our territory, and
we could have done it easily, if diplomacy had not
come arid stopped us.
" The nation is ill at ease; it is impatient, and
accuses us of making no advance; but it does nor
know our situation. Let it not despair of its sal-
vation. Difficulties increase courage—but let it not
go to divide itself, for then all will be lost, and na-
tionality will no longer be possible.
" If the Prince of Orange be proclaimed in the
north of Belgium, at Ghent, Brussels, and Ant-
werp, all the south will proclaim the re-union to
France, and will support it with arms. You are all
well acquainted with the spirit of that part of the
State.

" Gentlemen, another cause of division is mani-
festing itself. When the manufacturers of the south
claim protecting laws against English commerce,
when the land frontier demands a law of equality,
and to be treated as the sea coast, the answer given
to the former is that which the Dutch Government
gave, namely—the interests of consumers, who are
the greater number, opposes what you demand. To
the inhabitants of the frontiers it is answered,
'Wait ; means of compensation must be contrived
for you, by a Treaty of Commerce with France;' as
if intercourse was not carried on with the greater
part of that country, and with more economy by sea
than by land. The Dutch system of the present
day is favourable to Antwerp, the Two Flanders,
and Southern Brabant ; and as the Deputies of
these provinces form a majority, they are not suffi-
ciently sensible to the interests of the south.

" External justice, gentlemen, (as a distinguished
orator has frequently repeated to you), has decreed
that we should all be equal in the eye of the law,
and that in our deliberations we should have inces-
sandy in view the interests of the whole kingdom,
and not those of any individual persons or distinct
provinces.

" I again repeat, let us all rally with true and
faithful hearts ; let us devote ourselves to the general
interests of all; let us occupy our time with the
fundamental laws, while our warriors are conquering
from the enemy such parts of the country as still re-
main in their hands. Legislators and soldiers, let
us rival each other in activity, and we shall then soon
attain our common object. We shall then have no
more bivottacks, but only feux de joie to celebrate
the festival of our great and united family, of which
many will then become ambitious of being the chief."
The Congress decided that the proposition should
be referred to the Standing Committees.
Thai Order of the Day, which was the nomination
of the Members of the Court of Accounts, being
called on,

M. Ch. Rogier proposed that this measure should
give place to the proposition of M. Rodenbach,
relative to the choice of a Sovereign, and added that
in a Secret Committee, he could give information
which would prove that the latter question was one
of the utmost urgency.
Great agitation prevailed in consequence of this
statement, but upon the pressing solicitation of M.
Rogier, the Congress resolved itself into a Secret
Committee.

With regard to what passed in the Committee,
we are reduced to mere rumour. It is said that the
reasons assigned for the urgency of proceeding im-
mediately to the election of a Sovereign for Belgium
were of a very serious nature, and the discussion
was most stormy.

The Provisional Government of Belgium, by a
Decree of the Ist instant, has granted an advance
of 20,000 florins to the Portuguese Refugees, on
the security of the arrears of pay due to them from
the Brazilian Government from the Ist of January,
1830.

Commercial ligitations are multiplying to such an
extent at Brussels, that the Tribunal of Commerce
is obliged to give three audiences a week instead of
two.

Hostilities, it is said, are about to be resumed.
It is asserted that the corps of the infantry of the
line, the ex-3d and 17th divisions, hare received or-
ders to march to Westwesel, to reinforce the corps
of volunteers, who no longer appear disposed to
keep their ground.

The want of work gave rise yesterday and the
day before, at Namur, to the formation of mobs.
The windows and fences of the Cassino Club were
broken. The troops i►► garrison refused to obey
their Chiefs. Some soldiers were put under arrest.
A battalion has arrived at Namur from Charleroi ;
and it is said that the first battalion, which is at Brus-
sels, is to march for the same town. The small-
pox is very prevalent at Ghent, and has caused the
loss of many lives.
We lean from Liege that the cannonade, which
was heard in the night of the I►t instant at Maes-
tricht, is now known. Some volunteers of Melli-
net's corps had advanced close to the fortifications
of that town, and fired upon the sentinels. The
enemy, supposing that they were about to be at-
tacked in their entrenchments, made use of their
artillery, and fired at random all night. As the
cause of the firing was unknown in the village, the
inhabitants sounded the tocsin and beat to arms.
From time to time the report of the cannon is heard
in the direction of Maestricht.

We hear that, in consequence of the important
news from Belgium, M. Gendebien will take his de-
parture immediately from Paris for Brussels, where
his attendance in the Congress as a Member of the
Provisional Government has become indispensable.
M. Charles Rogier, who for the last fortnight, in
consequence of the absence of the greater part of
his colleagues, has had to support alone the whole
weight of affairs, has, it is said, very strongly urged
the return of M. Gendebien. M. Firmin Rogier,
his brother, first secretary of Legation at Paris, will
take charge of the affairs of the embassy until the
arrival of the Count de Celles, who is shortly ex-
pected.
The Brussels Papers of the sth instant have duly
reached us. The following are extracts :—" We
learn, that intrigues have been set on foot in the
Borinage to bring about our submission to France.
Petitions are circulating, and the workmen and the
populace are excited. As these people all depend
on their patrons, they can offer no resistance to their
will. It is even expected that the French standards
are ready. We can scarcely give credit to such cri-
minal intrigues. We have long been enabled to
appreciate the conscience of a certain class of men,
but we cannot believe that their vile selfishness will
go so far as to sell their country, 4,000,000 of men,
for a little gold. Yesterday it was reported that an
attempt of this kind had been made at Erni-hien, in
Ilainault, and that some disturbances had ensued rn
consequence."—Le Beige. " The following are re-
ports circulated upon the sentiments of the different
sections of the Congress as to the choice of a Chief
of the State, for the truth of which, however, it is
impossible for us to vouch :71. Three sections
have decided, by very large majorities, for a French
Prince, with a Government totally distinct from
that of the Palais Royal; that is to say, that Bd..
ohm) should be henceforth constituted an indepen-
dent kingdom under the Duke de Nemours. 2. One

section, by an equally large majority, is in favour of
a pure and simple re-union with France, under the
Citizen King Louis Philip. 3. In another, a youth,
only sixteen years of age, called Otho, a Prince, or
the son of a Prince of Bavaria, is named for the
throne, under the Regency of the Count Felix de
Merode, and his education to be intrusted to M.
Charles Rogier, under the title of Governor.
By this plan, the Provisional Government would,
in part, become permanent, and, no doubt, the for-
tune of those who retired would be taken care of.
4. The first section voted for a native Prince, and
one of the members at once put an end to all difficul-
ties by naming M. de Merode. There was but one
dissentient, who named the Archduke Charles of
Austria. The whole of the members were not at
their posts, and therefore the resolutions were but
preparatory. After the sections broke up there was
a meeting of about forty members, whose opinions
were unanimously French. It appears that Prince
Leopold of Saxe Coburg has no chance, and that
his name was not mentioned. The diplomatists
were very roughly treated, and some very strong ex-
pressions in regard to them were uttered. The whole
will soon be disclosed."—Entanciption. " The
question of the chance of a Sovereign now occupies
the Congress. The most probable chances are in
favour of a native or foreign Prince, who is to marry
a daughter of the King of the French. Some
officers of the volunteers stationed on the frontiers,
near Westwezel, assert that a great number of their
soldiers are in want of arms and clothing. We
learn that the inhabitants of the Tete de Flandre
have received orders from the Dutch military audio-
ritorities to evacuate their houses, and give them up
to the troops. This arbitrary measure is ascribed
to the necessity of concentrating the soldiers, and
withdrawing them from the forts, which are in
general very damp. There will be in future in these
forts only a guard, to be relieved every day."

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(111.034 THE MORNING HERALD.)

(From the Massager des Chambres of yesterday.)

Murrici, Dec. 29.—At eleven o'clock last night very
numerous crowds collected before the principal post in this
city. The Commandant was much displeased at these
attroupemens. No excess was committed, although it was
thought necessary to arrest about forty students.
Drc. 31.—According to a Royal decree, the Govern-
rnent yesterday caused the University to be closed, and or-
dered all the students in Munich to return to their homes ;
but in consequence of a petition, signed by 1,000 stu-
dents, and supported by the earnest request of the Magi-
strates, the above order was revoked.

PARIS, JAN. 9. —At half-past twelve the King received,
in the grand saloon, M. Pozzo di Borgo, the Ambassador
from the Emperor of Russia, who presented his creden-
tials from that Sovereign. The Ambassador had after-
wards the honour of being introduced to the Queen and
the Princesses.

It appears that the reports relative to the evacuation
of Algiers are without foundation, u at the present mo-
ment the Government is increasing the Materiel of that
place.

The following particulars have been communicated to in
in a letter dated Ham, Jan 6 :
" The son of M. Peyronnet, and the brothers of M. Chan.
telauze, are at the Castle, where they cannot refuse them ad.
nsittauce.

" The Curate has called to offer his services to the prisoners.
" Four contracts have been entered into for the supply of pro-

ROYAL ORDINANCE.

" Louis Philippe, King of the French,
" Art. I.—The offices of administrators of the lottery'
are suppressed.

" business of the lottery shall be conducted by
a Director whom we shall appoint, and tip be assisted by a
Sub-Director.

" S.—Matters of dispute shall be examined and deter-
mined by a Council of Administration, the Members of
which shall be appointed by the Minister of Finance, and
chosen from among the Directors of the different offices of
this Ministry.
" 4.—The salary of the Director of the Lottery is
fixed at 20,000 francs, and that of the Sub• Director at
12,000 francs.

"M. IL Laine, Administrator of the Lottery, is ap-
pointed director of the lottery."
The Mayor of Paris, and the Colonels of the National
Guard, have determined upon giving a fancy ball, the
profits of which are to be distributed amongst the poor.
The Duke of Orleans has offered to preside on the occa-
sion.

We copy the following from r Anti de l' Ordre, a
Nantz Journal :—." Yesterday some clergymen were pub-
licly insulted by a number of conscripts who Lad lately
arrived at Nantz, who were assembled in the square.
" This morning several of those young fellows pursued
the clergy through the streets uttering most violent ex-
pressions. No one came forward to put a stop to this
scandalous conduct, although the staffliotpre was not far
distant, and the cries of the recruits could be distinctly
heard there."

CHAMBER OF PEERS.-SITTING OF .JAN. 8.

The Order of the Day was the reading of two reperts ;
the first by Baron Moonier, from the Commission upon
he Slave Trade; and the second from the Commission

engaged in examining the law relative to the abrogation o.
the law of 1807 upon pensions.

The Chamber had also to deliberate upon referring to a
Special Commission a report upon permitting the arrest of
a Peer for debt.

A few momenta before the commencement of the pro-
ceedings M. Merilhou crossed the Chamber, and con-
versed wish several Members of the Chamber.

The sitting commenced at half-past two.
MM. d'Argout and Merilhou sat on the Ministeria:
bench.

After theproces verbal had been readantiadopted,

The President gave an account of the different works
which bad been offered to him, and amongst the number
was the Horoscope of his Majesty Louis-Phillipe, executed
by Vernet. _ _

M. Merilhou presented the project of law adopted by
the other Chamber, relative to the salaries to be allowed

to the ministers of the Jewish religion. The principle of
the equality of worship in the eye of the law, established
(but imperfectly) by the Charter of 1814, has attained to
full perfection in the 6th Article of the new Charter,
which has given a dower to the State to allow the ministers
of religions (not Christian) to participate in the advan-
tages acquired by the others.

This protection ought to be granted to every worship
which unites the double character of morality and univer-
sality, such as appear in the Hebrew religion.
The orator went into an historical account of legislative
enactments relative to the Jews, who had been persecuted
in the middle ages—subsequently tolerated—affranchised
in 1781—made capable of civil rights by the Constituent
Assembly, and finally protected in their worship lay Na-
poleon—thanks to the exertions of the Grand Sanhedrim,
which dispelled those superstitious errors that threw an
unfavourable shade over this religious institution. It wee
reserved for the Government of Louis Philip to complete
the amelioration of the social position of a great number of
Frenchmen, who, during fifty years have given the noblest
contradiction to the calumniators. With respect to the
financial part of the law, it was hardly necessary to refer
to it, as the total of the sum to be allowed to the Jewish
ministers only amounted to 65,000 francs.
The printing, distribution, and presentation of the
above project of law were agreed to.
The Duke de Broglie brought up-the report of the
Commission relative to the abrogation of the law of 1807,
upon pensions granted to retired Ministers and great
Functionaries of the State, upon the ground of recom-
pense fer their service. " The Chamber of Deputies,"
observed the Duke de Broglie, " has proposed to abrogate
altogether the former law, and leave to the Legislature
alone the power of providing for national expences,
de
the controul of publicity, and the guarantee of public
discussion. They (the Peers) had already given their full
consent to the measure. But the Chamber of Deputies
did not feel content with that, but added another propuosi-
r
n
' tion,.—namely, that of subjecting revision the pensions
u
granted since the Ist of January, 1828, according to the
law of 1807. It now remained for them to provide for

sacred." He should therefore move:that the above propo-
sition should be totally rejeated.—(nluch excitement.)
The discussion upon this report was appointed for
Tuesday.

Lissos, Dec. 25.—1 t is stated, upon positive informa-
tion, that the negotiations between our Cabinet and that of
St. James's, relative to the recognition of Don Miguel,
Lave been broken off.

Some explanation has at last been given of the frequent
communications which have lately taken place between our
Cabinet and the Court of Madrid. It is said that his
Catholic Majesty requested by the Cabinets of St. Peters-
burnh, Vienna, and Berlin, to join them in the event of a
Continental war, has demanded of Portugal to fulfil the
former treaties, by which she engaged to furnish troops
and money.
Wartsaw, DEC. 28.—Our journals have published the
following proclamation by the Dictator, dated Dec. 21 :
" Fellow Countrymen,—The wish of the Representa-
tives of the nation, confirmed lay the two Chambers, have
called me to the exercise of supreme power. I have only
undertaken the supreme command of the national forces to
ensure the liberties of our country. My duty will always
he to conquer or to die for this cause. Hating taken the
Dictatorship, through obedience to my country, I demand,
in the name of the people, the same obedience. You will
always find my standard on the road to justice, duty, and
national honour. It cannot fail of being followed by all
loyal Poles, worthy of the names of their ancestors ; and
I am sure none will be found to act contrary to the sove-
reign authority confided to him.

Starting upon the same principle, and guided by
unanimity, order, and energy, we cannot fail of being suc-
cessful. The people have placed me at their head to direct
their exertions, and I promise most solemnly never to
swerve from the strict rules of duty; I swear this before
God and my country."
(From the Conatitutionnel of Sunday.)

PARIS, JAN. is stated that 15,000 men, of dif-
ferent regiments of the line, will shortly arrive at Toulon.
It would appear that not only France, but all the West
of Europe, has been placed under an interdict by the Rus-
sian Autocrat. The Russian Legation at Berlin refuses
passports to Russian subjects who wish to proceed to any
point to the west of Berlin.
The Emperor Nicholas takes a most affectionate interest
in the fate of the Ex-King Charles X. It is said that he
has just granted a pension of five millions of rubles to the
fallen Monarch; so that ho may have sufficient means of
support, without depending upon the liberality of the
French.

There is an indistinct report of an insurrection which
broke out in Finland.

(From Le Temps of Sunday.)
(PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.)
STUTGARID, DEC. 24.—We have received news from
Austria, from a respectable soerce, and which merits atten-
tion. It would appear that Marshal Maison succeeded in
convincing the Emperor that M. de Aletternieh had so
compromised his master as to excite a war, contrary to
the express intentions of his Majesty. Marshal Maison
proved that M. de Metternich had caused a number of
troops to march without the knowledge of the Emperor,
and that he had intrigued repeatedly at the Diet of Frank-
fort, in order to force the German Confederation into a
war, in which the Emperor would be obliged to juin.—
The Emperor, conviaced by the weight of evidence, has
formally declared that M. de Metternich is ■o longer Mini-
ster, and that in future he shall enjoy no other place but
that of Grand Master of the Empress's Court. The office
of Prime Minister has been given to Count Collowrat,
heretofore Minister of the Interior, and who is generally
esteemed for his acquirements eat moderation, and de-
cided opposition to the system of Metternich.
