BRUSSELS PAPERS.

BRUSSELS, FEB. 21.—The Government has just purchased
the register of the Parliament of Paris from the year 1253 to
1263; the collection forms 34 volumes in folio, and will be the
more interesting, as Flanders was under the jurisdiction of the
Parliament of Paris up to the year 1526.
During the months of December and January, the average
number of travellers on the railroad from this city to Malines
was never less than. Boo daily. In December the total number
of travellers was 28,000 ; in January above 29,000 ; it seems
probable that the number in February, will be still greater.
T o have a notion of the enormous quantity of foreign goods
which are in the warehouses of Frankfort at the moment that
the new tariff of customs is going to be put in force, we need
only to learn that the amount of the duties to which they are
liable is already above 2,000,000 of florins.
BRUSSELS, FEB. 22.—A crime, which endangers all the
bases not only of political organization, but of social order, has
just been committed in broad day light, in the city, which is
the seat of Government. We read the following article in
the Liberal :—" Violation of a Domicile ; Attempt at Assassi-
nation.—Just as we are going to press, twenty men, as well
corporals as privates, of the. Regiment of Guides, forcibly en-
tered our establishment. They forced their way into our office
and the adjoining room, and with their sabres destroyed every-
thing, not forgetting even a cabriolet that stood in the vesti-
bule. After this heroic exploit, and after having had the base-
ness to ill-use M. Gillot, one of our editors, who was alone
in one of the rooms, they hastily retreated. We shall return
tomorrow to these acts of brutality, which would not be com-
mitted even in Turkey."—Brussels Papers, Feb. 23.
CONSTANTINOPLE, JAN. 27.—The energetic interference of
England seems at length to put an end to the arbitrary sys-
tem of the Egyptian Government in Syria. Before the much-
talked-of firman to the Pacha of Egypt was issued by the
Porte at the desire of England, steps had been taken, by or-
ders from Alexandria, which leave little doubt that Mehemet
Ali will readily yield to all the reasonable demands of Eng-
land. We are very curious here to learn what passes in the
English Parliament, because it is believed that our affairs will
become the subject of serious discussions. Meantime, the
Sultan proceeds with his reforms.

IVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, FEB. 24.-A
very fair demand has been experienced to-day for cotton ;
5,000 bales are estimated to have been sold. New Bowed are
more freely offered, and barely maintain yesterday's prices.
The particulars are-_250 Pernams, 1 lid. to 13d. ; 350 Ba-
hias, 104 d. to 128 d; 200 Maranhams, 120. to 131 d. ; Su-
rats, 60. to Bd. ; remainder American, Bkd. to 11d. ; Or-
leans, 12kd.

" We, the' Council of the ancient and loyal borough of
Wigan, most humbly beg to approach your Majesty's Royal
presence, and beseech your Majesty's gracious acceptance of
this our loyal Address.
" It is with feelings of true and unfeigned regard, that we
tender to your Majesty our assurance of our increased attach-
ment to your Throne and Royal Person, and our earnest hope
that your Majesty may long continue to reign both over the
persons and in the hearts of your loyal subjects.
"We tender to your Majesty our most grateful thanks for
those measures of reform which were passed during the last
session of Parliament ; more especially for that which has
placed the Municipal Corporations of the Kingdom on a new
basis, one calculated to promote the happiness of the commu-
nities under their respective governments, and not less the
general interests of the country' at large.
" The introduction of the measure of Municipal Corporation
Reform by your Majesty's Ministers, is one other proof to your
Memorialists of the desire of those Ministers to consult in all
their measures the true well-being of their fellow-subjects, and
your Majesty's approval of the measure is the best proof your
Memorialists could desire, that your Majesty is equally anxious
for the attainment of the same-end.

" Your Memorialists beg to assure your Majesty of their
most perfect confidence in your Majesty's present advisers,
and to intreat your Majesty to second them with your strenuous
support in carrying forward such other measures as they deem
requisite for the increased welfare and happiness of your Ma-
jesty's dominions."
