VATIONAL CONGRESS, SITTING OF SUNDAY, JULY 3.
M. de Blargnies spoke in favour of the previous; ques
tion. The amendments of Messrs. Bayts and Van de
Aroyer cannot be attended to. The preliminaries are bu
t'-e protocols of 20th January, which takes from us Lux-
emburg. Lemberg, and the left bank of the Scheldt.
M. Felix de Merode accepts the preliminaries as props.-
, ils ; he shows the difference between them and the prow
-ohs. We ought not to risk the happiness of our county}
when there are means of saving it.
M. C. de Brouckere said, that to admit the prelimina-
ries is to fix our own destinies; it is a violation of at
etth. He thinks war inevitable, and will prefer it to accept-
ing conditions which Europe would consider as a meanness.
N. Leiieau explained this conduct during his ministry.
and especially in the tegociations. He denies the main
.enance of the Constitution, and the integrity of the ter
ritory to ;Eh he has sworn ; but the Constitution allow.
ehanges which may be made the subject of the negociatien
by accepting the preliminaries.
M. Debtors spoke in favour of the acceptance of the
preliminaries. His whole speech was interrupted by such
hunting+ and cries that it wee impossible to hear him.
• Van de Weyer—The Assembly cannot tolerate such
eicandeloue conduct. I differ in op nion from the speaker,
but he ought to be at liberty to support his opinion with
the greatest independence. I adjure the President ti
cause the freedotn of our deliberatien to be respected.
M. Fugeur cast- a significant look at M. Robaulx, and
Haled in the request of M. Van de Weyer.
The President addressed the galleries, and real the re-
gulations (standing orders).
• Juttrand made a speech against the preliminaries,
which was highly applauded.
• Devaux—l vote in favour of the preliminaries. If
lam interrupted by the galleries, I shall leave off speak-
ing, and not speak again except in a secret Committee.—
The
preliminaries have only been proposed for the purpoee
of concluding a definitive treaty. These plans seem to
me advantageous to the country. The Dutch debt is not
to be a burden to us ; we shall pay only the debts we
have contracted since our union with Holland.—
The territorial arrangements, he thought, might be
made in a satisfactory manner. Luxemburg will re-
main in state quo, and the Prince we have chosen
will negociete concerning it ; we shall have Lemburg
in exchange for those detached portions; of territory which
Holland want. Venloo has never made part of Belgium,
and while people lament the fate of the ciezois of
Venlon, if restored to Holland, they wholly forget the
eertain ruin of the unhappy city of Antwerp if war should
commence. Seerificem are talked of, bet it would he a.
well to inquire if any ate asked Gf us. It is certain that
Dutch Flanders dues not belong to tie, and can we require
the Conference to give us that which belongs to the King
of Holland? We must be jest to him as well as to every
body els-. 111. Beyts is mistaken in saying that the left
bank of the Scheldt was ceded to us in 1795. I shy it was
ceded to France-, and when France received its rights in 1814,
the left Lank of the Scheldt certainly returnee to Holl met.
Suppose that England and Scotland desired to separate,
undoubtedly the line of demarcation between them could not
be that which existed before their union. What I heard in
London proves we ought to embrace this opportunity. Yes,
ideas of faction have been entertained in some very powerful
quarters. Hainault, Brabant, and Namur would be al-
lotted to France; Maretricht, Liege, and Luxemburg to
Prussia; and Ghent and Antwerp to Holland.
The hour being late the President closed the sitting.
SITTING OF THE 4TII JULY.

M. de Robaulx, M. Alexander Rrlenbach, M. Sim,
and M. Fallen spoke against the preliminaries.
M. Nothomb, M. de Gerlache, Count d'Aerschot, and
several other Members spoke in favour of the pielitninaries
as on the whole favourable, and as the only means of pre.
venting either the partition of Belgium, its union with
France, or the restoration of the Orange family.- -
M. Van Meenen made a very long speech against the
preliminaries.
The Assembly broke up at half-past four, and adjourned
till to-morrow (the sth).
" To-day (Tuesday, sth July) M. L-beau delivered a
very remarkable speech, which engaged the at•ention or
the Congress from twelve o'clock till two, end made a
very deep impression on the assembly. The debate then
proceeded."
Yesterday (the 4th) there were numerous a•semblagre
at Louvain, crying out• for " War—Death to the traitors

—The Regent for ever," &c.
M. Adolphus Rou•sell addressed the mob : he hops,
the Congress would again reject these dishonourable pro-
posals, said be was going to Brussels to exhort the Regent
and the Congress to reject them, and turn out tie Mini-
sters; and, added he, " if, contrary to my expectations,
these ignominious terms should be accepted by our repre-
sentatives, I have taken an oath to put myself at your
head, to make the Constitution which we have sworn to
respected, and to oppose by force the massacre of our bre-
thren of Luxembourg, Limburg, and the left bank of the
Scheldt." . .

This energetic and significant address appeased the mul-
titude, which dispersed quietly.
(The Flinde.s mail brings nn later news from Poland.)

Several of the Irish Members met yesterday
at the Thatched-house. There were present Sir Ronr.ar
HARTY, Lord ACHESoN, Lord KILLEEN, Sir R. MUS
GRAVE, Sir W. HoRT, Messrs. BROWNLOW, O'CONNELL
SHEIL, WYSE, M. O'CONNELL, BODKIN, OTERRALL,
GRATTAN, POWER, LEADER, CLEMENTS, Sir JOHN
MILLEY DOYLE, Sir JOHN BURKE, Messrs. LAMBERT,
FITZGIBBON, WALKER, RUTIIVEN, FRENCH, A. DA WIIIGN,
&c. They resolved to beg an interview with Mr. STAN
LET, in order to suggest the propriety of gig ing lease-
' holders, with 10/. profit, a vote in counties; and make
the value of 10/., and not the rent, the test of qualification
in borough..

Mr. STANLEY stated in the House last
night, that. since the affair at Newtowobarry, the Loin
LIEUTEYANT had directed that the issue of arms to the
yeomanry should be suspended.—(Hear, hear.) In con-
sequence of the great excitement and the importance of
the subject, a stipendiary Magistrate had been sent to the
spot, to make the necessary investigations.—Morning
Chronicle.

The official statements on the subject of the
revenue ate generally considered to he satisfactory. By
the following notice which has just been issued from the
Nations] Debt-office, there appea's to be a sum disposable
for the redemption of debt in the quarter just commenced,
of 724,0191. 16s. sd.

WILL OF DIEBITSCH.—The late Marshal
DIEBITSCH has left a will, of which our correspondent at
Augsburg has given us some particulars. His property
did not amount to more than 500,000 nutters (equal to
Prussian crowns), making about 1,600,000 francs. Half
of this sum he has left to his brother AItNOLD DIEBITSCH,
a hat-manufacturer at Stettin, in Prussian Pomerania ; the
other half to his sister, ALBEICTIN DIEBITSCH, a nun o'
the convent of St. Ulrica, at Wolffliart, in the neiAbour.
hood of Konigsburg. DIEBITSCH hld but one child, ar,
illegitimate son, who di, d very young. His brother has a
son in a commercial house at Bordeaux, who is a well
educated young man. The late General has not named
the Emperor NICHOLAS in any part of his will. At the
end be has made mention of M. SEBASTIA NI, whose friend
ship he gained at the peace of Tilsit, and to whom he ha•
left his diamond cross of Wladimir.—Figaro.

Some exceptions in the invitations to her
MAJESTY'S last ball (whether by mistake or otlorwise it
not known) have created a good deal of talk in tie bight r
circles, more particularly as the parties so omitted have
been connected with the former Administration, and are of
Ultra-Tory principk.s.—Morning Herald.
