Minister, Sir E. C. ftsbrowe, will give, in honour of
the marriage of the Queen of England and Prince

TIIE HAGUE, FEB. 17.—We hear that the Militia-
men of the army of 1839, bel3nging to the Ist bat-
talion of Yagers, and to the divisions of Grenadiers,
will be sent home to-morrow from this town, with un-
limited furlough.
It is also said that a number of Generals will retire
on pensions, which will cause a reductio-1 of the ex-
penditure. It is said that some Generals who enjoy
considerable pensions (one to the amount of 15,000
florins) have given up the half of it to the publics
treasury. _ _

BRUSSELS, FEBRUARY 17. The Emancipation
gives the followin4 particulars of the property of the
House of Orange in Belgium : —" King William pos-
sesses at Laeken the little Palace which he had bought
for Prince Frederick, and which is on the canal,
with about twenty hectares of land in different
portions, the whole of which cost him about 250,000
francs. In the communes of Dieghem, MaChelan, and
Mo:shroeck, an estate called the Looland, of three hun-
dred hectares, which he purchased at the beginning of
1840, and which is supposed to be worth a million of
francs. At Brussels, two small houses, worth between
30,000 and 40,000 francs, purchased in 1827.
" The property of the Prince of Orange is—
" The Palace adjoining the hotel of the Marquis de
Trazegnics ; the hotel in the Place Royale, where the
supreme military tribunal has sat since 1830. This
hotel, which belonged to Count de Spangen, was bought
by the Prince in 1821 ; he paid 320.000 francs for it.
" At Terveuren, the Palace, with its dependencies ;
likewise several parcels of land ; in all about 15 hec-
tares, which cost him 100,000 francs. He likewise pos-
sessed at St. Josseten Noods nine or ten hectares of
land, which he purchased in 1826 and 1829, at the
enormous price of nearly 400,000 francs, and which he
sold for a still larger sum to the Civil Society.
" The Emancipation says that our Government has
some scruples about, ceding the Palace at Brussels, and
the country seat at Terveuren, as patrimonial property,
and that it has consulted several eminent lawyers, but
has not yet received their opinions. The same Jour-
nal says that the King of the Nether:ands has agreed to
sell the domain of Laeken to the King of the Belgians►
and that the two Sovereigns have agreed to appoint
competent persons to value it, by whose decision they
will abide.
