BRUSSELS, APRIL member of the Committee of the
National Association*, communicates to us the following letter,
dated Arlon, lOth •
We have now here a company of •grenatliers, two companies
of volunteers, 9.i) artillerymen, in all 4;0. I do not know that
there are any others in the neighbourhood, except two,companies
fir Luxemburg volunteers at Bouillon, which are shortly to
March to this city. For some days past we hate been expecting
140 artillery and six cannon, two battalions and two squadrons

only merits Of troops of the line, but nothing comes, and it is generally be-
lieved that all will end in fine promises. Yet the danger which

make a vigorous resistance to them, And certainly if there is

,ny longer delay in sending us troops and the necessary ammil•
iition, the courage of the Luxembarghers, which now resembles
enthusiasm, may very well be exinguished, or, at least, greatly
%bated."
Lord Ponsonby dined the day before yesterday with the Go-
,ernor 01 the Provinces ; all the Members of our Ministry were
iresent, except M. Sauvage, who has been confined by indispo-
Mon for some days.
APRIL 24.—General Vandermere, Governor of the province of
Leige, is appointed t ommander of. the Third Military Division,
,n the room of General Daine, who is going to command the
coops in the Second Military Division.
Doubts having arisen on the question whether ecc'esiasticii
.vere bound to take the oath prescribed by the decree of Congress
,f sth March, the Minister of the Interior has just addressed to
.he Governors of the Provinces a circular explaining the decree
.vhich dispenses them from this formality, because the ministers
if religion have nothing to do with the public administration.
The 4th company of field artillery, which is at Brussels, will
.narch for Luxemburg on Monday. Three squadrons of cavalry
vitt go from Ghent, and one from Limburg are also going to
t uxemburg.
APRIL 2a.— fhe accounts from Memel, of the 15th, say that the '
rebels, wh3, to the number of 4,000 men occupied' Krottin-
.ten, had quitted that place, and were probably gone to Dorbiru.
the Prussian troops at l'olangen had received considerable rein-
oreements, among which is a corps of 800 infantry, with four
cannon.
We have "recelVed a letter from Frankfort, of the 20th of
April, which informs us that the Diet has put off the affair of
Luxemburg tiil tin month of June : that it intends to ()muff
not only Luxemburg, but, in case the Belgians should make anY
resistance, Belgium itself, in order to indemnify itself for the 1
?xpenses: that in this point it in,ets with obstacles from the
French Government, and that this is the cause of the delay.
It was reported yesterday that four Members of the Dutch
opp,sition are at this moment at Brussels. They are not sup-
tiosed to have any official character; but their presence would
coincide with what`we have before said, of the desire of a great
portibn of the Members of the States-General assembled at the
Hague to see the relations of good neighbourhood with us, re-
stored as soon as possible.
An English courier arrived here yesterday, with dispatches
from his Government for Lord Ponsonby.
The Minister for Foreign Affairs gives to-day a grand dinner,
to which all the Ministers and Lord Ponsonby are invited.
APRIL 26.—M. Firmin Rogier arrived at Brussels the day be'
tore yesterday, with despatches for M. Le Hon. M. Rogier
comes, for the second time, to confirm the entire and unqualified
assent of the French Government to the Protocol of the 20th of
January. We know positively (says the Courrier of Brussels)
that the Belgian Ministers persist in their opposition to the W.
liation desired by this Protocol, and that M. Rogier will go back
as he came.
VIENNA, APRIL s.—Despatches from Field Marshal Baron
Gepptrt, dated Pesaro, 9th instant, contain, besides detail'
already known of the operations against the Insurgent Chict
Sercognani, after the taking of Ancona, and the measures for
the retreat of the second corps, a notice that the Pope's General,
!testa, had 5,1)00 men under his command, the van of which was
on the point of occupying Tolentino.
8.11011 Geppert has caused the Castle of Ancona to be repaired
Of the arms taken from the insurgents, and deposited in the
citadel of Ancona as the property of the Papal Government, he
had ordered 200 muskets to be delivered to the rapal authorities
for the use of the gendarmes, to protect those points where there
are no Austrian troops, against robbers, who may be expected to
abound, as besides the regular troops the insurgents chiefly con-
sisted of vagabonds from the towns, who now prowl about the
country without means of subsistence, and alarm the peaceable
inhabitants. The country people have not taken the slightest
part in the revolution ; not one of them moved among the re-
volutionist:, and the Imperial troops were every where received,
by this class in particular, with inexpressible joy.
(From a Letter.)
BOLOGNA, APRIL 15.—Our country is very gloomy on ac-
count of the threatened re-action, as the amnesty is solemnly re"
yoked._ Banishment is now considered as a favour by the per-
sons implicated. All go to France and embark at Leghoin.
The number of emigrants is considerable. Perhaps it is a favour
which will not be granted 24 hours hence. Among the prisoners
at Venice are 13 Bolognese. The Austrians are concentrating
their troops along the Po.
On the 14th of April the Austrian troops from the marches
to Lombardy began to passthrough Bologna. On the 16th, Baron
Geppert's head-quarters arrived there, and were to pass the pa
on the 18th.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY).

COURT OF CHANCERY.

DRUMMOND v. BURT, AND BURT v. DRUMMOND.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL stated that he had a motion 111
the first of these causes, which Sir ,Edward Sugden was to op'
pose ; and Sir Edward had to move in the latter, which he (the
Solicitor-General) had to resist ; but the necessity of a publi'
discuss on, had been avoided by the partiescoming to an arrange;
ment. They were about to dissolve their partnership, but had
not been able to agree upon the terms: they had now, however;
consented that the separate injunction should not be a,ked
against Mr. Burt, as was intended, the. money having been re'
ceived ; that a receiver of the outstanding debts and partnershii'
effects should be appointed, with certain directi us as to the
payment of the moneys, and that an injunction should issoe
again.% both parties with respect to those effects.
Sir K SUDDEN assented to all this.
COCK-PIT.

The LORD CHANCELLOR, in stating that he had been re'
quested to attend the Cock-pit on Saturday, said it was very muCn
the same sort of Court as this.

Sir E SUGDEN was not of that opinion.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL could not agree to this either',
The Cockpit formerly conformed to the usages of the CourtsP'
Westminster Hall, but now it did not, and was theretbre
sidered quite a different Court.
SITTINGS.
Sir E. SUGDEN said it had occurred to some of the gentle-
men at the bar and himself that it would be better, as the bus;'
ness of a few days would seen be broken in upon by the neat
sary absence of gentlemen, in consequence of the elections, that
the Court should sit tar three days atter term, instead of rising
immediately for the holidays.
His LORDSHIP had no objection whatever. He words' be
Very glad to go on sitting, :as he slid not like to be in town with'
out being engaged ; but he was aware the Bar must have some
recreation, though gentlemen at this Bar had nothing like suet'
hard work as gentlemen at the common law bar had.
Sir E. SUDDEN begged pardon.; but he must tell his Lord:
ship that if he said so, he Could know nothing at all about what
the work of a Chancery barrister was.
The LORD CHANCELLOR observed, that what he 'ma/4
was; the weight, of mixiety which a gentleman at Nisi Prins
had of feeling that the putting of one single question wrong
o a witness might lose a cause.
Sir E. SUGDEN said, that if his Lordship -remained here
(which no doubthe would dolor a long time), he would scoo
find that both the anxiety and the labour of a •gentleinair
practice at this bar was equal, if not more, than that of any
'
dividual at Nisi Pries. He was sure that nobody worked tiara
than himself. •
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL observed that no set of me°
could work harder than fife draftsmen of. this Court : they were
often at work till two or three in the morning, and then had to
attend. Court all day.
HuLLErr v. THE KING OF SPAIN.
of
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, on the part of the King
,Spain, said, that in this case, which had stood over for the other
side to take the Court's suggestion into consideration, they 10i
instructed Mr. Pepys to consent to nothing • therefore his Lord,
ship must decide the question. In leaving it thus to the Court,
he (the Solicitor-General) had only to beg his Lordship to heal.
in mind that there was no instance on record in which a foreigo,
Prince (as was asked here) had been ordered personally to Po'
in an arrest to a bill in Chancery.
The LORD CHANCELLOR promised to look into the ca,e.,

COURT OF KING'S BENCH.
LIBEL—THE KING v. HARRISON.
Mr. William Harrison, the proprietor and printer of the
Hampshire Telegraph newspaper, appeared at the sitting of the
Court to receive judgment for having publislmt in that Paper.
3
libel, reflecting on the character of a gentleman, named Pa",,
wick. The libel complained of was inserted in the defendant,
newspaper in the shape of an advertisement, which purportF`.:
to give notice of a forthcoming book, which would detail toc
life and history of " Paddy Whack"(neaning the prosecutor.)
Under pretence of giving what they called the heads of dif-
ferent chapters in the forthcoming book, the advert,seinel!!
contained allusions of a most injurious nature to Mr. Pad"
wick's character. He consequently indicted the defendant,
who had been found guilty, and has appeared far judgment.
Mr. FOLLETT addressed the Court in mitigation of punish
ment. He said that the Editor of the Newspaper had not the
least possible knowledge of the insertion of the advertisement id
which the libel appeared until it was published, and afterwards
he was perfectly ignorant that the allusions were intended for tie
prcsecutor. That it was brought totheottice in the regular way 0;
business, and paid for as a bona Jide advertisement, nd inserto;
as such in the usual place for such intelligence. The Learneo
Counsel then said he was instructed by the defendant t°
express his extreme regret that the advertisement Wadi
ever appeared, or that his paper should have been matte
a vehicle of slander. lie plr. Follett) was also instructe i
,
to repeat an oiler which had been made to Mr. Fadwicl‘
some time since, viz.—That the defendant was willing to give dib
the author of the libel, and pay such costs of the proceinbre
against him as the Master (under all the eiremnStances of *the
ease) should thiiik proper to direct. 'He would, therefore,
that
once more repeat, that the defendant exceedingly regretted tha
the publication had ever appeared. •
Sir JAMES SCARLErf made a few observations in aggrava"
tion of punishment; after which
Lord TENTERDEN said, the Court was of opinion that
under the circumstances of the case, the terms proposed by th.re
defendant's Counsel ought to be deemed satistlictory, and accepts
o
by the prosecutor. The libel was sent to the office as ..n advertise-
ment, and appeared in the regular way as such ; that was a fact
which materially altered the complexion of the case as•regarded
the defendant. Had the libel been published- as a paragraPO,
would have been very different; His Letrdshm therobre- prijetttl
the case to stand aver for the defeedailt to have an'oppottunnY
of giving up the author; and paying the costs of the proceedints
against him.
The defendant then left the Court.
''heir Lordships afterwards took motions for new trials.
Nothing of public interest transpired up to the time our Re-
porter lett

6th of May. The four reforming candida ea &re in ex•,
