Maiority of the Belgian Congress is determined to main.
taro the election of the Duke de Nemours, and to appoint
a Regency until he attains his full age, and may make
known his own will." The Berlin State Gazette as •
.erts that the history of the Belgians is without one single
brilli int point.
The Berlin State Gazette expresses its satisfaction at
the resolution of the King of the French to refuse the
crown of Belgium for the Duke de Nemours in the fol-
lowing terms :—" This refusal proves that Louis Philip
by ru means wishes to make conquests, hat prefers to
lead on his people in the career of peace and civilization.
His refusal has gained for France more friends than a vic-
tory. The communal law, which is preparing, will pro-
duce snore communes than would have been conquered in
many campaigns. History will record the King's resolu-
tion as one of his most remarkable victories—a victory
gained over himself."

" It is asserted," says the Avenir, " that a warrant
of arrest has been issued aguint a celebrated financier (ex-
contractor), who kept up a correspondence with Holyrood.
Having received a hint of it, he is said to have taken to
flight, accompanied by an Englishman. His sudden de-
parture has left several large amounts unsettled on 'Change."
The surveillance and defence of the entire coast of
France is, at this moment, under the consideration of the
Minister of War and the Minister of the Interior. It is
asserted that 50 companies of coast artillery are to be
formed from the National Guards of the maritime depart-
ments, for the purpose of constructing new batteries and
manning the field artillery.
We learn from Brest that the brig Le Lizard sailed
from that port on the 15th instant, for Bourbon, with
arms. The Melpomene, a 60-gun frigate, and the Alge-
siras, an SO-gun ship of the line, quitted that port on
the 16th.

The Official Gazette of the Grand Duchy of Bsden
published at Carlsruhe, announces the convocation of the
Statei-General of the Grand Duchy for the 12th of
March.

The Augsburg Gazette contains the following, of the
11th inst., from Milan :—" We enjoy perfect tranquillity
here. According to accounts from Placentia of the 10th
inst, every thing was quiet there ; but a report was current
that Austrian troops were expected. The new Government
formed at Bologna has assumed the title of Federazione
Italica. It has been asserted that blood has been shed at
Forli and Ancona. A report is prevalent of the King of
Naples being on the point of giving a new constitution to
his states." The same paper communicates the following
intelligence, dated frontiers of Italy, Feb. 15 :—" In con-
sequence of the alarming accounts which have been re-
ceived from Italy, several Austrian regiments have received
orders from General Frimont to hold themselves in readi-
ness to march at a moment's notice. We learn that 30,000
men from Styria will be added to the Austrian army in
Lombardy. General Frimont is to employ the troops un-
der his command according to circumstances, and to send
them, at the request of the different Italian Princes,
wherever their presence may be necessary for the preserva-
tion or restoration oC order. The treaties entered into
with most of the Italian Governments compel the Aus-
trian Cabinet to assist them with a certain number of
troops to preserve their rights. The events which have
occurred at Modena, Bologna, and Ferrara, appear to
have called for the execution of these treaties, and to
have led to the march of four Austrian regiments,
under the command of the Prince de Bentheim,
who, however, has halted, and written for further orders.
It is said that the Austrian Government is firmly resolved
to restore tranquillity in Italy, and maintain it by every
means." The same paper, of the 18th, contains the fol-
lowing from Warsaw, • dated the 10th inst. :—" Every
thing here has been in extreme activity since the first ar.
rival of the news of the invasion. The Russians occupy
three waywodes, and have 7,000 men at Augustowa:
they had advanced as far as Seidlic, but a reconnoitering
party of the Poles compelled them to retire. The corps of
General Geismar, which entered by Lublin, scarcely
amounts to 8,000 men, and the soldiers are fatigued with
their march : the horses are also in very bad condition.
Prince Radziwill is with his staff at Stanislaw°, five
miles from Warsaw ; and as the Russians are concentrating
their forces at Ostralenka, a decisive battle may be ex-
pected in a few days."
