" NOTICE.

" TO THE MEMBERS OF THE NATIONAL CONGRESS.
"Gentlemen and dear Colleagues,—The Government
has this instant received news that the King will he at
Brussels on Tuesday next. As several important resolu-
tions must be taken before his Majesty's arrival, I request
you, in consequence, to be here on Sunday the 17th in-
stant, to be present at the Sitting, which will open atl
noon precisely.
" The Vice-President of the Congress,
"July 1 t, 1831. " DESTOUVELLES."
Some Journals of Brussels repeat with satisfac-
faction, from the Mersager du Gaud, the details of
a scene which took place at Ghent : they neglect to
mention the source from which they borrow these
facts, which have been designedly exaggerated: and
they take care not to add that these disgusting mea-
sures are the work of the Orange party.
The letters which arrive in Belgium from foreign
countries are exposed, by order of the Government,
on entering the kingdom to the powerful action of
caloric, in a particular apparatus, in order to destroy
the contagious miasmata with which they may be
impregnated. As the effect of this operation is
the destruction of the seals of those which are
sealed with wax, persons who write letters to Bel-
gium are advised to seal them, for the future, with
wafers, or any other substitute not liable to melt by
heat.

BRUSSELS, JULY 15.—The news of the arrival
of the King, received at Brussels yesterday morn-
ing, was soon spread among all classes of society,
and was every where hailed with joy. NI e did not
avail ourselves of all the advantages that this news
gave us at the moment of its reaching. Brussels
journals were distributed which were hostile to the
Government,- and the majority of the Congress
gravely announced that the Prince would never set
foot in Belgium. These journals will now change
their tactics. The King's arrival being certain, they
will busy themselves about the duration of his reign :
they will probably consent to grant him some months.
These sinister forebodings have no influence over
sensible minds, and these are the majority in Bel-
gium. The country looks on these menaces with
distrust, and the Government will well know how
to prevent the effects of them.
The committee appointed to arrange the prepa-
rations for the King's entry met yesterday morning.
The King will enter by the Flanders gate, and
will alight at the Palace. The ceremony of inaugura-
tion will take place on Thursday in the Place Royal.
" The Congress, after haviitg renewed the King's
oath, will declare its mission ended. The Cham-
bers will probably be convoked in a month after the
dissolution of the Congress.
" Baron d'lloogvorst, Commander-in-Chief of
the Civic Guards of the kingdom, left Brussels this
morning with his staff, to go to meet the King of
Belgium."—Brussels Papers, July 16.
ST. PETERSBURGH, JULY 2.—His Majesty the
Emperor has received from Witepsk the melancholy
intelligence that his Imperial Highness the Grand
Puke Cesarowitsch Constantine died there on the
27th of last month, after nine hours' illness. A
supplement to the St. Petersburg,: Gazette of the
29;1i of June announces the appearance of the
cholera in that city. The first case was that of a ci-
tizue of Witegra, on board a vessel from Witegra,
which arrived on the 9th of June. He was at-
tacked on the 26th with symptoms resembling those
of the cholera, but was relieved by medical assist-
ance. On the same day a printer's journeyman was
attacked, and died in the evening. On the 28th
four persons were attacked, of whom two died to-
day (the 29th) ; there are two new cases, so that
the number of sick is four, of whom three are ex-
pected to recover.
WARSAW, JULY s.—The Committee appointed
to inquire what ground there is for the accusation
made against General Jankowski, on account of his
late engagement with Rudiger, has concluded its in-
quiry ; and its report with all the documents, has
been sent to the extraordinary military tribunal.
The Warsazu Gazette says—" We learn from
Podlachia that that province is nearly evacuated by
the Russians. Rudiger's corps occupies the province
of Lublin ; that of Kreutz has repassed the Bug at
Nur. The head-quarters of Count Paskewitsch are
said to be at Rozan."
The Warsaw Courier says—" Letters from Plosk
anneunce that a division of Russian troops had occu-
pied Plosk a second time, but stopped only a few
hours. Some villages have suffered severely from
the enemy ; in others they behaved well, and only
asked for provisions and brandy."
Prince Eustatius and Xavier Sapieha have arrived
at 'Warsaw, and entered the army. The first is one
of the richest Nobles of Lithuania, possessing a for-
tune of about 'W,000,000. General Chrapowski
commands the united corps of Gielgud, Syrakowski,
and Dembinski.
FRONTIERS OF LITHUANIA, JULY s.—The news
of the retreat of Gielgud into Poland is not con-
firmed ; on the contrary, it is said that he is still
beyond the Memel, and that the Russians have cut
off his retreat over the bridge of Gielgudishken.—
There seems to have been a severe action between
the Polish and Russian troops in that quarter; at
least we have heard yesterday and to-day a heavy
cannonade on the frontiers.
The Konigsburg Gazette says General Gielgud
had advanced nearly to Wilna, and had had some
successiel actions. He found that town strongly
fortified, and therefore proceeded by Kieydany and
Rossienna to Semogitia, where he has joined Ge-
neral Chrapowski. Puschet has been defeated in
several actions, neer Marianpol.
Accounts from Johannisburg, of July 1, say that
the united corps of Gielgud and Chrapowski was
bard pressed, and pursued by the corps of General
Tolstoi.—Prussian State Gazette, July 10.

BUENOS AYRES AND BRAZIL PAPERS.

20th April contain some details of the skirmishes in
which the troops of Buenos Ayres had the advantage.
The news of the disturbances at Rio de Janeiro
on the Bth, 12th, aad 13th March, had reached
Buenos Ayres.
The imports by sea into Buenos Ayres in the
year 1830 were 41,433,270 dollars; the exports,

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(From the Times.)

PARIS, SATURDAY EVENING....YOII will have seen from
the Paris Journals the different versions which they have
published of the efforts of small bands of agitators in the
streets of this capital on Thursday. From what I saw of
these tumults, the aczounts thus given are, in the main,
correct, making the proper allowance for the party-colour-
ing, which is spread in thick layers over the surface of the
French Press at this moment.

The summary of the facts is as follows :—At day-break
in the morning the inhabitants were awoke by heat of
drum, and a force of National Guards, little short of 35,000
men, were speedily put in motion to occupy posts on the
quays near the Hotel de Ville, the open places in the quarter
of the schools (across the river), the neighbourhood of the
old Bastile, and the strong positions in the Fauxbourg St.
Antoine, and indeed generally, all the densely populous
manufacturing districts of the capital.
Earlier still than these military demonstrations, gangs of
young men bad gone forth to the plantations around the
capital, and, in imitation of the old May-pole practice in
Ireland, and with the same holy purpose of a row, cut
down small trees, which they were trailing into town, to
erect as trees of liberty in the public places, to glorify the
anniversary of the destruction of the Bastile, and bear in
a solemn procession of gods and goddesse, screaming out
for that public order they were in the act of violating,
and the re-ascendancy of the dominion of faction, which
in its years of sway in France had floated down a sea of
blood.

The sylvan deities who had charged themselves with
these trees of liberty, unlike the Irish in the " better" days'
of the Maypole, gave no sign of glory : they fled at the
first assault of the police, shamefully abandoning the trophy
to their pursuers. It was then early evident that the soil
of the capital was not on this occasion ripe for the planta-
tion of trees of liberty ; and as day advanced, another
scheme was found to try the temper of the multitude.
A number of young men, in the aggregate perhaps '7OO,
and a considerable portion of them well dressed, formed in
bodies not exceeding 150 or 200 each, and, descending
from the quarter of the schools, crossed the bridges to •
wards the quays at the opposite side of the river. They
wore tri-coloured cockades, white or grey hats, the beau-
tiful pink flower at the button-hole ; but without uttering
cries, or otherwise disturbing the public peace, as far as I
could observe, than by moving rapidly forward in an irre-
gular crowd. One party near the Pont Neuf had in their
ranks about six or eight persons of the National Guard,
two or three of whom had guns, said on examination to
have been loaded. The police instantly arrested the per-
sons in uniform, one of whom was M. Gallois, one of the
ex•artillery of the National Guard, and of the acquitted
at a trial a month ago for a political exploit at a tavern
carousal of some heated young men.
Upon the attack of the police, these rambling bodies
spread into smaller detachments, and fled as they could,
some seeking shelter in neighbouring coffee-houses, and
haranguing upon the outrage to the national cockade ;
some collecting again in the Fauxbourg St, Antoine,
where they were thrashed by the workmen, who are out
of bread by tens of thousands, owing to the stagnation of
trade, which is one consequence of these incessant Paris
' tumults ; and the greater number vanishing altogether,
when the authorities evinced a determination to arrest
their course.

At one o'clock it was Quite clear that no hope remained
of planting trees of liberty ono❑ the place of the Bastile,
or that next the Hotel de Ville—two of the three grand
sites intended for the exploit. It could not be done for
two cogent reasons. The silly people who had planned
the exploit had taken to their heels upon the first show of
resistance by the authorities ; and the National Guards
and troops of the line at mid-day, filled the whole area
where the trophy was to have been raised. A third spot,
however, remained untried, and was for the moment less
guarded; it was that of the Place Louis XVI., where the
pedestal of the monument to the charter stands, on the
spot where previously the blood had poured from the guil-
lotine in such a barbarous torrent. This place was not
unfitly selected for the erection of a tree of liberty. A
Goddess of Liberty (in plaster) had stood there before, and
at her feet were murdered some of the ablest defenders of
the principle of which she was the emblem. At three
o'clock on Thursday, a band of young men hastened to.
wards this spot, trailing after them a young tree, which
they had cut down in the Champs Elysees. They were
in more force than any of the other groups, for they
amounted to nearly 900 or 1,000 persons.
A battalion of the National Guards from the Tuileries
and posts near the rue Rivoli, headed by the mayor of the
first arrondissement, and some civic assistants, were in a
few minutes on the spot, the tree of liberty was taken
from the young men and flung into the Seine, its bearers
were put to flight, several of them were wounded while
resisting the National Guards in the performance of their
duty, and one of them stabbed (dangerously) by a grena-
dier, while in the act of raising a pistol against the breast
of one of the civil authorities. This young man is a stu-
dent in medicine, and the son of an eminent Paris dentist.
His father, however, while bewailing his sufferings, posi-
tively denies that the youth was so armed, or had so acted.
Some chasseurs charged this flying group, in consequence
of the pelting of a few stones at the military; and many
individuals were trampled upon in the alleys of the Champs
Elysees, and struck at and arrested, while taking refuge in
the agreeable rural taverns which open upon the walks.
Various reclamations have been made in the Journals in
consequence of such wounds and arrests; the greater
number of persons so taken were, however, speedily libe-
rated. It is, as you know, a public and shaded prome-
nade, mostly thronged at the hour of the day when this
tumult took place, and the time and occasion naturally led,
for the moment, to some confusion in the arrests. I know
a young gentleman who was at the moment taking ice with
his sister in one of these cafes, and who was roughly
handled in the melee. He was, however, as soon as the
confusion subsided, released, with many expressions of re-
gret for his momentary detention ; and others, equally in-
nocent, were, I can easily believe, exposed to the like in-

convenience.
But among the arrests, in close contact with the Na-
tional Guards, were three or four persons in their uniform,
who could give no account of themselves. They belonged
to no corps of the capital, and two of them could give no
domicile. One, however, after some particular interro-
gatories, said he was an Englishman, but his accent was
that of a Fleming, and the authorities say this morning,
that there is reason to believe he is a Belgian, who came
to Paris to repay his brethren for the assistance which
some of them afforded to his fellow-countrymen, in seat-
tering firebrands in Brussels and Antwerp, to embroil the
Belgians in further civil commotion.
It is difficult to trace all the latent springs of these
commotions. Hot-headed and giddy young men are on
the surface of their ebullitions, and are (for I have spoken
with some of them) imbued with feverish noticns, that
liberty is not yet sufficietly secured by the present Mo-
narchy of France. This city, in fact, among the younger
classes of its inhabitants, contains a number of restless
spirits, who gasp for the excitement of any change : but
it is clear to demonstration, from the last troubles, that
all the middling classes, and the great bulk of the working,
are tired of witnessing these distressing street-rows.
This, I say, is demonstrated from the alacrity with which
the National Guards remained all day at their posts, and
even from the ill temper and use of their bayonets among
the crowd, as complained of by a portion of
the Press, as well as from the passive demeanour
of the workmen, who lounged about as mere lookers on
during these late scuffles. I mixed with many of them in
the Fauxbourg St. Antoine during the evening, and they
spoke either in terms of complaint or indifference of the
raing men who were continuing these disorders. Some
of the workmen are even, I repeat, charged with being
paid to flog the rioters. The National journal is
to be prosecuted for making this assertion. The prolon-
gation of these prosecutions of the press is unwise on the
,part of the Government, with the experience they have of
a failure in verdicts. Besides, after ail, suppose these
workmen were so paid, it was a very proper distribution
of police money for the sufferers by so many riots to re-
ceive a little temporary assistance for chasing away from
their neighbourhood the promoters of them.
It is due to the public press on the late occasion to state
that it generally reprobated the intention to plant these
trees of liberty ; but the inefficacy of this interference
shows how much weaker its influence has become when it
gives wholesome advice to those whose passions it had pre-
viously stimulated by bolder doctrines.
There is a general belief that in addition to the conspi-
racies arising out of the Republican reveries of heated
young men, there is a deep-laid plot of the Carlist party.
They are few in number, but blindly bound in the principle
of their adhesion ; they have money, for it has been recently
found among those Swiss recruits who were seized in the
provinces ; and there is a constant passing backwards and
forwards of emissaries, who are strongly suspected of being
i engaged n their cause ; but the line of connexion is sought
through broken and detached links, and the ingenuity em-
ployed in the fabrication of the chain of communication, is,
up to this hour, I am informed, but dimly unravelled.
I he Government are, however, bent upon strong measures
of judicial vengeance in the event of detection.
Every thing has been done which could be done, to pro-
tect the persons of the exiled family, in the hour of danger,
froyn an infuriated people, apd t 9 save their private pro.

petty from dilapidation, when it fell from their controul.
If the return which the new monarchy receives is conspi-
racy, and the treacherous use of opportunities of intercourse
with France which have been hitherto furnished for very
different purposes, then upon the heads of the blind ad-
herents of the expelled dynasty the storm must burst, and

it will then be pitiless.
It is, by the way, odd that in some of the southern pro-
vincts, trees of liberty should have been permitted to be
reared by the local authorities. This demands explana-
tion : is this a balance eff against the Carlists, or a con-
nivance ? In either case the policy is bad.
Up to yesterday there have been in Paris arrested, as
connected with the riots and conspiracies of the present
week, 125 persons. This day, I am informed, there are
eight or ten more. I cannot hear that any individuals
are compromised out of the clubs of the young men who
have made themselves so unfortunately prominent, except
some few half.pay officers, who have been grumbling for
employment. Others are even saiA to have belonged to
the Hotel des Invalids.
Although several were wounded in the tumults, there
were no deaths on the spot. A town-serjeant, named Le-
clerc, a member of the Legion of Honour, was drowned in
the canal of the Bastile, supposed to have been pushed
over in the confusion.
- -

Official accounts are this day received here of the death
of the Grand Duke Constantime, at Witepsk, on the
27th, after nine hours' illness.
The Baden, Wurtemberg, and Bavarian constitutional
states of the south of Germany have agreed to a neutral
alliance, for their own preservation. The King's inter-
view at Strasburg, with some of these local chiefs, had,
probably, some connexion with this measure of armed
neutrality.
The Polish array has just received a great accession of
strength by the arrival of some of the Lithuanian nobles
of great property and influence. Y.
