_lB--Piscourse pronounced
,by
Count Thienues,, President of the, Fir'st Chainber,
after rheopening of, the ordinary Sittings of tl►e
Two Chambers on the 16th of this month :

"GENTLEMEN,--'she ancient valiant Bel-
gic Natimm, tt hick we have at this moment the.
honour to representolivided by the consequences
of wars and of political events, and arterwardS
sorbed and.contounded as it were in the revolu-
tionary torrent of France, .saw itself lately eliaced
iront-the list of nations.
" Our country had been ravished from us, but
it remained eneraven upon our hearts ; the dearest
recollections, and the immortal records of history,
perpetuate it there.
" Happily, by the.aid of Divine,Providence. amyl
by the decrees of its infinite wisdom, time projects
of the common enemy of nati.mns were bailed and
overthrown. _ .

".It was reserved fOr William the First, for the
antrast descendant of a house froM which Belgium
had For many ages received only prOtection and
benefits, to recal it to a new existence, to collect
again its divided and scattered parts, and, in short,
to gather and revive the noble -inheritance of the
house •of Burgundy. History will remark, that
Belgium, fc;rmerly united under a Prince, whom
it called the Good Duke, is again united under
whom it calls the Good King.
" How many hopes offer themselves to our
minds : what confidence ought to animate us when
wetonsider the blessings which have already
emanated ,from histihtutn:?
" Yes, Gentler n, I say it with entire confi-
dence and .perfect conviction, knowing the mag-
nanimity, time frankness, and the patriotism of
our good King,- he will be always the principal
protector of the interests of his people ; he knows
their rights and their Avants, he knows them as
well in respect to religion
,as to political and civil
affairs, and lie will neglect nothing that tends to
their advantage;. oar zeal, Gentlemen, and our
cares second his efforts, we shall prove by
the most exact attention in .the examination and
treatment of affairs., that the King and. the peo-
ple shall never reckon upon -us•iii vain. -- •
We shall, each in our regular ChaMbers,
take into consideration the Speech which his Ma=
jestys has just addressed to us from his throne. •
May the Sovereign Master - of the Heavens-
and the Eartb deign to pour' down his richest
blessings upon our good King, upon his family,
awl the kingdom!—Long live the King 1"

-Baussr.Ls, OCT. 19.—For .some days past we
have suer a • great many •waggous,
,escorted by
Prussian troops; arrive hour France, and nume-
i•oas vessels go up the Maese, all loaded with ar-•

_ .
y, military stores, and equipages, and arms
of, all kinds, out .of the latresses which have heeii
successively occupied by the Prussian troops. All
these stores are conveyed to Wesel and to the in-
te;ior of. the Prussian Monarchy. We hear that
the Austrians do. the .same on their side: The
Russiau.troops have taken a very large quantity of
muskets. The English alone have hitherto brought
away nothing. • •
A report had been circulated among some bat-
talions of our Militia in the Southern-Provinces,

that they are destined to be 'embarked for India;
Which ocCaSioned some desertion- amongst ;the
zartison -of Mons. • The Governor of Hainault

bas nla►tie the easy,. by a proclamation

ing the falsehood of these i•eports, and has taken,
the necessary measures to discover tire authors of

them.
11Ierlin deDottay, awl Garnier ile Saintes, seem
to intLod to settle here. The very extensive
v.tatcs of the former lie in French FlaioLrs and

Artois

BaussELs.., OCT. 18.—From the southern pro.

•
viuces of the kingdoth several corps,of English,
/Hanoverian, and Brunswickers are gotfe to join
the Duke of Wellington they go to the right of
Valenciennes. The Netherland troops near Va-
lenciennes, Conde, and lionehain, are soon to
nos .es.sion of those fortresses. In the first,
preparations are already untking to receive them
in the .bamteks, and, it is generally believed, that
as soon as-the agreement between the Allies and
the King of France is published, the occupation
will take place.
The certainty that the Cantons -separated from
Belgium by the last Treaty of Peace, will now be
restated to, it, causes g....eat .joy in Namur and
ileinatilt, this separation being very detrimental'
to numerous manufactures in the frontier towns.
0cT.18.---The deliberations in the
,Second Chamber are in the Dinch language. The
'totes are: react hilt in'..Dittch and then in Ftench.
Whatever the Prysident brings forward, he re-
peats in French,-and all important documents are
accompanied by 'a French translation.
CoiTN-HAGEN, OCT. 10.—A Supplement to cur
Gazette ciint lilts the following •
" Tly-the Treaty of Kiet, of Zanuary 54, 1814, the King of
SiYeden ceded to Denmark his'rights to the Duchy of Punic-
raula, and th 4 Isle of ringen. Divided by the sea from the
other Danish posiessions, this 'acquisition was of less value to
Denmark, cuUsidering the population. and the resources of
t;wsc provinces, than it would have b..en if more favourably
Situated. On this I:ccotint his Majesty the King acceded to
the proposal made him by the King of Prussia, to cede to him
his right to these provinces in exchange for others.lying
nearer. During the pegociations at Vienna, it was agreed
that his Prussian Majoly, who received from Hanover 'the

. •
Duchy of Lauctilmr,::, which confines with the Duchy of
.
Hot-
• stein, should cede it to the King of Denmark in exchange for
bi• rights to Swedish Piontrania and Mogen. Thi;
dominions have now obtained the Elbe for their -frontier
by the following; Treaty, concluded with Prussia, and ratified
tit Paris .on the :list of June by his Majesty the King of
Pr4ssia."
