,v 1 in Parlino.Pent heard several joke; as to the
borough of Mahon, but he never yet heard in Lon-
don any accusation of Nlalton being a rotten bo-
rough.—(Cheers.)—And he regretted to say that
ha 'never heard that accusation made anywhere but
in a place where he thought it ought not to hare
been made, and by a person who he thought ought
not to have made it : but he did hear with inditszeas
Lion in the Castle-yard, at York, that all of them
were driven up like cattle to the 'nark;;';, according
to the order of the shepherd.—(n It is fillse."),--
He (Mr. Ramsden) was. ewe, from what he had
seen, they considered his friend, Mr. Allen, was no
bad shepherd,—(" No, he's net that"),—and that
they were all disposed politically to agree with their
representatives.—(" e are all of one orinion.")
It had been his pride always to knew, though he
certainly had come there on eecommendation, yet
they had attached thenssei\es to him, and he to
them, and he trusted the opinions had hitherto beets
similar.—(" They have.")—He had heard it said
that there might be. an opposition there—that a
Tory, or one of some other putty) might come and
slip in. He should like to vac those persons come
forward, for he was certain there was that mutual
good-will existing between all of them) and their
friend in that town, that would make them lean
o his will and wishes, rather than to any foreigner
who might come and put himself upon them of hit, •
own accord.—(Hear, bear.)—God forbid that he
should desire that improper influence should be
.ased. He knew full well that their hearts sympa-
thized with the heart of a noble relation of his
in getting rid of their late representative, and in
electing as his colleague his Right Hon. Friend) the
Lord Advocate.—(" They did.") That wee not
being driven like sheep. He denied it in the Castle-
yard at York, and he still denied it_ But, to con-
cludes he would say, that whether he served them,
or whether it should hereafter be his lot to serve a
larger constituency, he should always look to them
as his friends and supporters.—(Cheers.) He never
did nor never should represent any place out of Yoik-
shire—he was proud of being entirely a Yorkshire-
man; never would he represent any thing uncon-
nected with the county of York, and therefore, when
he wanted their assistance, there was not a man of
them but would hold up his hand so long as he was
consistent in the opieinns which he had hitherto
acted up to.—(" _will.") The vote he had
given upon the Refotm measure was a conscientious
one, and ha had no doubt or scruple in at any time
coming before them, either to meet their censure or
their applause.—(Hear, hear.) It would he tinware
rentable in him to detain them longer. He could not
resist the pleasure which it gave him to meet them
there, and welcome the election of the Learned
Gentlemen, for he was sure by electing him they
had elected the principal means of bringing about
Reform in that part of the kingdom where it was
most wanted.—(Applause.) Mr. Ramsden con-
cluded by heartily thanking them for all the kindness
which they had conferred upon him, assuring them
that he should never forget them to the latest period
of his life.—(Loud and continued cheering.)

BRUSSELS PAPERS.

BRUSSELS, APRIL 6.—ln the sitting of the Congrc-a
yesterday uothitig of particular importance occurred. M.
de Robot*lx complained bitter:} of the ne;ligence of a great
many lllrlllhtTai wUu tic) nut collie to the assembly at the
Appointed hours, by which the punctual menthe's suffer.
" To-day," said he, " the Congress was summoned for
eleven o'clock precisely ; it is now two o'clock, and we are
waiting for our rolleagues." He propo,e3, ant his mo-
tion was agreed to, that in future the names of the mem-
bers shoilld be called over at the hours fixed for the open-
ing of the sitting.
Lieutenant-Colonel Edeline was interrogated for the
first time the day before yesterday, in the prison of the
Petits Carmen. The witnesses in the proceedings against
Generals Vanderstnissen and Nypels are to be examined at
Antwerp. The preliminary proceedings in the affiir of
Colonel Borremans are nearly ended. Sentence will soon
he passed, as well as in the affair of Kessels.

orders have been issued to arrest Messrs. Vanderrnael
and Boulrny, officers of the Lancets, who have fled. The
officers of that corps implicated in the conspiracy have
been sent to Ned{la.
We learn that orders have been imued to arrest a
Colonel of Cavalry, in consequence of the examination of
ColonPl' Edeline.

Aram 7.—M. I'irman Rogier, Secretary to our Lega-
tion at Paris, arrived here yesterday with important de..-
patches from our Government. According to reports in
circolation respecting the contents of these despatches,
they announced the full and entire assent of the Govern-
ment of Casimir Perrier to the protocol of the 20th of
January, relative to the limits of 13e!gitim. The Cabinet
of the Palais Royal, it is said, informs Us that it consents to
the occupation of t uxembourg by the troops of the Diet,
and that if we Belgians oppose this occupation, we shall
be abandoned to all the conaequences•of this resistance.

With respect to the ether points of the protocol of
Tanuary 20, the communications from the cabinet of
Paris are said to he mote favourable, allowing us to keep
►he left bank of the Scheldt, with half of the sovereignty
over Maastricht.

We have a letter from Ypres of the 6th inst., contain-
ing the following particulars :—Yesterday evening at six
o'clock, the house of 111. Belsaegal, commander of the late
civic gum), was attacked by the populac,!, who in a mo-
ment broke to pieces every thing they could lay their
hands on. The troops dispersed the crowd which had
disarmed some detachments of the civic guard.
One o'clock in the morning.—The house of the ex-
Lieutenant-Colonel Steurs has been, as it were, taken by
storm. The street is covered with fragments, nothing is
left of the house but the walls and the roof. How unfor-
tunate that the good cause should be disgraced 6y such
exces%es

NAMUR, APRIL 6.—Yesterday we had great disorders
in our city. The house of Mrs. Coppean, who was re-
proached with being an Orangeist, was attacked by the
populace, who seized Mrs. Coppeau and took her to pri-
son, where they cornpelled the gaoler to receive her. They
wanted to make her cry, " Vivext les Beiges." All the
furniture and effects were soon thrown into the street, and
every thing in the house broken to pieces. The mob,
however, consented to restore a part to M. Coppeau, who
was
_not, like his wife, obnoxious to these individuils.
They were preparing to burn the fragments of the furni-
ture in the street, but were prevailed on to do thi., not in
the city, but out of the gate of St. Nicholas. The Governor
and the Burgomaster repaired to the spot at the first no-
tice, but were unable to prevent the devastation. The re-
giment of Lancers was under arms, and the Civic Guard
drawn nut. The night has passed without disorder, and
tranquillity seems to he restored.
'We nerd not say that we blame these disorders, which
afford our enemies a pretext to calumniate our revolution,
and to represent us as a prey to the horrors of anarchy.
We are indebted to the courage and presence of mind
of M. Kepprenne, of Liege, an officer of Lancers, and of
M. Dupree, Member of the Tribunal, for this city not
having had these disorders succeeded by the horrors of a
conflagration. They had all the fragments of the house-
hold furniture conveyed in carts out of the St. Nicholas-
gate, where an enormous fire was made of them. The
effects belonging
to officers two of the garrison who lodged
in the house
wre
scrupulously respected.

the day Was deijain on the proposed loan of fifteen mil-
lions of 'florins.
M. Robaulx said that he would ask the Minister for
Foreign Affairs for some explanation of the language held
in the French Chamber, and whether he had receiVed any
official communication on the subject. M. Sebast!ani has
said orenln that France accepts the protocol Or the 20th
'Of •hnusT y, which deprives us Of ..'tembourg. Thus t) e
candidate annnuneed to its .!•:±aa only a lure. Louis Philip
has joined the Fiisr.y Alliance of despots : we Most declanr
war, for we cannot suffer our territory in\ be tio!ate'd.
France abandons ns : we are left to onita',lves. Let ns
appeal to the nation, for it is A Vvar of nations against
despots. As a reward for what we have done to respect
the tranqu'lffity of Europe, it is attempted to tear 13elgioni
to pieces, gold is lavished, riots are excited,--:(tt Is true.)
Since the Kings declare war agaiettt ';is, let us declare war
against Kings. The Cenitaitution which we bare all voted
considers Innveentiourg as part of Belgium. The Regent
has !wort; to maintain the integrity of the territory. I
ask if sufficient troops have been sent to Luxembrtitt,—
if the volunteers have been called upon ilne Ministers
have declared they would resign ratl;el- than Consent to the
violation of our national ittddependence. They must know
that they ainietne an immense responsibility. The French
Govrtrittent abandons the cause of the people, it renounces
its noble origin. Let us make use !'`; all our resources.
Let us call on the army, tie 'volunteers, ike civic guard,
and, if necessary. the whole nation will rise en masse.—
(" Bravo," from the galleries.) The time is past to put
tts tAlcier the yoke. Do you know what will happen if the
Government of Louis Philip continues ? It rT"I.I lead us
to a second revolution, and tintivpi'y Itanae who have be-
trayed the present revolution will bring back the disaster,'
of 1793, which rat all abhor. Ministers of Belgium, vial
have our fate in your hands. We are ready for every sacrifice.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs (M. Lelieau)—l did
not wait for the arrival of the despatches of tvhich t sin
going to speak, to dee' ire that we must prepare for war,
which I considered as inevitably. I regret that the Hon.
Member who called On me should desire ont- .conduct to be
firm and energetic, while he himself, e felt days ago, op-
posed the levy of the Civic Gt,ard ; hut, passing over in-
sinuations, in which I ath happy to believe there is no 'T-
will, the Ministry will persist in the course which love for
the country points out. Wait for its actions before you
judge its conduct ; it accepts the whole rraponailiility of
them, and can assure you they will he naotilry of you. M.
Lebeau proceeded to obsetam 'oh the uncertainty that seems
to 81.11)11'Fit respertieg this declarations of the French Govern-
ment. M. 'Yeltastiani, is a letter of the Ist of February,
dnclareil, that France refused to agree to the protocol of
the 20th of January, considering the etuderentes Lt Lon-
don merely a mediation. The Minister had proposed at
the time that this letter should he officially communicated
to the Congress, teat M. Sebastiani should in the sequel
deny it; but he did not then think that what he foresaw
would soap take place. " I must say, however," he
confirmed, " that in the despatches I hate neteiVed there
is nothing official ; they contain merely the sequel of the
verbal explanations laettvnen the French Ministry and our
Envoy Extraordinary. The letter of the Ist of February,
on the t ontraiy, has an official character, and this docu-
ment cannot be annulled except by another equally valid.
The assent of the French Cabinet to the rroto'ol of the 20th
Jan. is of the 2,1 inst. Being igtorant of what has passed, I
do not know wheth,sr this assent is restrictive, conditional,
or complete and unconditional. Though it is dated the
`.!.1, M. Sebasiiani said in. the Chamber on the 4th (the
Minister reads an extract of M. Sebastiani'm speech) there
are negotiations, respecting which I cannot explain
myself. He also said nothing was said of Limburg.—
[The Minister read a document relative to the Grand
Duchy of Luxembourg, communicated to our Envoy at
London, in niiich it is stated that the affairs of that duchy
were regulated by Article 67 of the act of Congress of
Vienna ; that it belongs to the House of Nassau, net to
the King of the Netherlands ; that the German Confede-
ration has a right to interfere in the affairs of that country,
tea] Being reduced on this main point to mere conjec-
tures, I have hastened to despatch couriers to obtain official
answers; till then I can affirm nothing positively. Prom
the despatches addressed to me, it appears that the French
and English Cabinets are both convinced that the cause of
the Prince of Orange is for ever ruined in Belgium.—
(Marks of satisfaction). The most perfect agreenent
subsists between them on the subject of the head of the
state. We again protest that we do not recognize in any
Cabinet a right to interfere directly or indirectly in the
choice of the sovereign whom we select. I would not,
however, keel', the country in a faire security. War is
imminently inevitable, I will eves say necessary. It is a
point of honour to defend Luxembourg, the inhabitants of
which, Belgians as well as ourselves, have like us, groaned
for 13 years tinder the Dutch yoke.

Afttr some further debate, in which M. Robaulx re-
peated his inculpations of tho French Government, several
articles of the proposed project of law for the loan were
debated, and passed, some of them with amendments.—
