THE CONSPIRACY AT BRUSSELS.

The Brussels Journals of Sunday contain details
concerning this incomprehensible affair, the reel nature
of which has as yet not transpired. The capital con-
tinued externally tranquil, though much astonishment
and curiosity pervaded all ranks. The King had not
yet returned from Ardennes. We subjoin extract;.
Tie Independent says :
" Four facts are now positive-Ist. The seizure of
two new bronze percussion cannon, which are not to
be confounded with the other two cannon (d'artificier)
which are also in the hands of justice. 2d. The seizure
of balls of the calibre of the new cannon. 33. The
seizure of 2001br. of gunpowder in the house of Van-
dersmissen, at Eiterbeck. 4th. The seizure at the
diligence-office of cases containing a howitzer, balls,
and some musl:ets, addressed to de Crehea, and ar-
riving from Paris. In presence of these four facts,
some persons may, perhaps, continue to say that this
was a plot of a few mauvais sujets, and a buffoonery
but it is not the less true that the affair is real, and
that this mad attempt was sufficient to throw the capital
and the country into confusion. \Vo were in error
in announcing the arrest of the two brothers
of Vandersmissen ; one only, the merchant, was
arrested. To the arrests which we have al-

ready mentioned we have to add those of Madame
Vandersmissen and her son, a youth of 19. fester•

day, M. Lecharlier, 'mown at Brussels under the name
of General Lecharlier, was arrested at the railway

station of the gate of Laekcn, et the moment of his ar-
rival by the train from Liege. The following have
also been arrested : a man-servant, named Crispeels ; a

man named Perrier, rho was employed in a coal-mine
at Charleroi ; Roezinski, a Pole, professor of mathe-
matics ; and Perrin, a tailor. Three extra locomotive
engines were despatched on Friday night to Ghent,
Liege, and Antwerp. One of the law-officers of the
Crown at Brussels went by the one for Ghent, but
returned almost immediately. By that to Antwerp,
it is said, an officer was sent to order that the troops
should be kept within their barracks. In that city it
was reported that measures had been taken to protect
the Dutch frontler. At Antwerp, as well as at Ghent
and Liege, the people would not give any credit to the
serious accounts given of the plot. It appears certain
that attempts were made at Brussels to seduce some
non-commissioned officers; but they remained faithful,
and denounced the proceedings."
The following is from the Observateur :
" The mortar seized by the police arrived yesterday
morning by the Paris diligence ; it was addressed to
one of the persons arrested, and who was already in
prison when it arrived. M. Van Volxen, the Minister
of Justice, went several times yesterday to the Cabi-
net of the Examining Magistrate. The police paid a
visit to the house of one of the persons arrested in the
Faubourg de Scharbeek, and made a thorough search.
All the rooms were found to be unfurnished, with the

exception of one, in which a table was set out with
chairs round it, showing that a meeting had been hell
or was about to be held there. There were lights and

a fire in this room. A great deal of the gunpowder
seized having been lodged at the Tribunal de Premiere
Instance, where a guard has been placed over it,
General Lecharlier, who male no resistance when

arrested, was taken immediately to the Prison des
Petits Cannes, and in the evening underwent
an examination by the Magistrates. M. Vanders-
missen and M.Vandermeeren were arrested at the house
of a painter, named Verwee, just as they were attempt-
iog to escape by a back door. It is said that as soon
as the arrest of Captain do Crehon was known, persons
left for Ghent, Antwerp, and Liege, to put others,
who are compromised in the affair, on their guard.
The police have seized all letters and parcels addressed
to suspected persons, but it does not appear that they
have as yet obtained possession of any important papers.
The Ministers assemble] last evening, Saturday, and
this morning, and fresh despatches were sent off to all
the provinces. The King is expected to arrive in the
capital speedily. Most of the persons arrested have
military title, but only two really belong to the Belgian
army. These are M. Parys and M. Vandermceren ;
the former of these two only was in active service.
General Lecharlier was formerly a Major in the Civic
Guard in:Belgium, but was made a General in Portu-
gal. M. Parys holds the rank of sub-intendant of the
first class, which is equivalent to Major-General. Yen-
dermeeren had been for some years in the retired list.
Vandersmissen, who was condemned for treason in
1831, was restored to the army in 1839, under the
ministry of M. de Theux, but in 1840 he was struck off
the army list under the ministry of M. Leheau. M.
Parent and M. de Crehen also had ceased to he on the
list for active service. M. de Crehen was with the Bel-
glen auxiliaries in Portugal, and returned with the rank
of Captain of Artillery. All Brussels has seen him at
the Circus during the representation of the Siege of
Constantine, commanding on horseback the two small
pieces of artillery used in the piece, and which are pro-
bably those which have been seized at Tivoli. A Pole
in the service of the Government was arrrested by error,
but was immediately set at liberty. We learn that se-
veral persons have been arrested in the provinces, and
that they are expected at the prison of the Petits
t2armes. It is reported that the plot was discovered by
the authorities through some propositions made by one
of the persons inculpated, in an estaminet, to two cor-
porals, who gave information of it. The strongest re-
ports are in circulation as to the projects of the conspi-
rators. Our manufacturers of news have had, as may
be easily imagined, a fine field to work in. Among other
things they have said that the rebels were to commence by
netting fire to the barracks, and that a Provisional Go-
vernment was to be immediately constituted. We
repeat those reports, leaving our readers to believe
them if they please. The absence of the King is re-
presented as having been looked on as propitious to the
conspirators. Tho Orangeist party is said to have had
its hopes raised by words attributed, right or wrong, to
the Sovereign of a neighbouring country (Holland),
whin seemed to denote some future designs, or, at
least, regrets, difficult to suppress. One of the ex-
pressions to which we allude, has lately been reported
in a pamphlet published at Brussels. During a tour
made by this Prince in a province adjoining Belgium, a
burgomaster is male to say to him, Without Belgium,
Sire, we are lost.' co which the Monarch replied,
Yes, my friend. But this heritage is not lost for any
length of time.' Words even more significative are re-
ported to have been uttered by the same Prince at an
audience given to a French General, sent on a compli-
mentary mission by Louis Philippe. We cannot give
any faith to such statements, and can only pity the
dupes who found hopes on such fictitious confidences,
which, if they were true, would do little honour to the
good faith of him to whom they are attributed."
The Journal de BruxeNcs states :
" The project of the agitators was to draw the atten-
tion of the authorities to the upper part of the town,
while they seized the Royal family at the Palace of
Laeken. We are told that in the house of one of the
conspirators there has been found an Orangeist procla-
mation, declaring the dethronement of the King Leo-
pold, and the restoration of King William 11., a re-
union with Holland, the suppression of the Custom-
house, but with a separate administration."
" Accounts were looked for from the provinces," says
the Observateur, " with great anxiety, but the journals
which have arrived contain nothing to excite alarm. The
Messager de Gand has not a word in reference to the
affair, and in the Orange de Flanders of the same city
there is only a notice of rumours in circulation as to
what had taken place in Brussels."
A Brussels letter, in the CortrricrFrancais, says :
_

" The Belgian Ministers are so little alarmed by the
recent events in the capital, that they have written to the
King, at Ardennes, not to hasten his return. Owing to
the activity of the Government the conspiracy is com-
pletely stifled. AU the persons who were to play the
principal parts i❑ this culpable attempt are either in
custody or in flight."
