FLANDERS AND DUTCH MAIL.

BRUSSELS, OCT. 29.—Baron Bulow, the Prussian
Ambassador at London, arrived here to-day from Berlin.
The people of Luxembourg rejoice doubly at the ac-
cession of William 11. It has freed them from an
odious Proconsul, who has only done much harm, with
little or no good. It is generally believed that he will
be succeeded by M. Willman.
This morning at one o'clock a fire broke out in the
old Palace of the Prince of Orange, where the Supreme
Military Tribunal now holds its sittings. It was first
perceived by a sentinel, who immediately informed his offi-
cer at the guard-house. Unfortunately water was scarce,
and fears were entertained for the adjacent buildings,
especially for the Hotel Britanniq'ie. Owing, how-
ever, to the exertions of the Commandant of the place,
and the gendarmes and troops of the line, to the number
of 1,000 men, the fire was checked at three o'clock, and
finally extinguished. The roof was entirely destroyed.
The zeal of the troops is more entitled to praise, as the
neighbours manifested the utmost indifference and ill-
will. Certain hotels refused to open their doors to
furnish a supply of water.
COURTRAI, OCT. 27.—Detachments of horses from
Hollar.d, on their way to France, continue to pass
through this town.

CONSTANTINOPLE, OCT. 7.—The affairs of Syria
have at length assumed a change which places beyond
a',l doubt the resolution of the Powers to restore the
legal order of things in the East. A new measure has
been agreed to unanimously ; the question had been
proposed, " How the fleet of the Allies should act in
case French men-of-war should attempt to enter,
any port of Syria or Egypt ?" The reso-
lution is as follows In this case their entrance
is to be opposed." This is an important decision, which
might soon lead to a collision with France. There has
been a difference between Lord Ponsonby and M. Jotoff
caused by the objection of the latter to the deposition
of Mehemet Ali ;, their difference has been terminated
by the assurances of M. Jotoff, that his hesitation was
caused by the importance of the step, and the convic-
tion that it would not be possible to recede at a future timo
without inconsistency.—Allgemeine Zeitung, Oct. 06.

THE HAGUE, OCT. 29.—A Deputation of the De-
puties of the Two Chambers of the States-General
waited to-day upon the King with the Address in au-
swer to his Majesty's Speech on orN:ning the Session.
The following are the principal passages of the Ad.
dress :

" It would have been agreeable to us to learn that
the negotiations with Belgium were terminated respect-
ing the transfer of that portion of the debt which is
assigned to that kingdom.
" We consider the communications which our Ma-
jesty has made respecting the finances of the country
to be of the highest importance. We are sensible with
your Majesty, that various circumstances of late years
have had pernicious influence on our finances. The
necessity of measures to make up for the deficit, fills
!Is with regret, but we flatter ourselves that your Ma-
jesty's Government will be distinguished by real econo-
my,' by order, and by a complete exposition of the state
of the finances of the kingdom. It is then only that
with one consent in the true spirit of the fundamental
law, considerable improvements may be made ; we shall,
therefore, receive, with the most lively interest, and ex-
amine with the greatest care, the complete statements
promised us respecting the state of the finances, the pro-
posals for regulating the Budget, for suppressing the
Syndicate, and to improve the laws respecting the ways
and means ; we respectfully add a wish that a suitable
law on the subject, on the general Chamber of accounts
may speedily enable this assembly to fulfil its constitu-
tional destination."

QUEEN CHRISTINA AND

ESPARTERO.

A Valencia correspondent informs us that the young
Queen, on leaving Valencia for the capital, met with
warm demonstrations of loyalty from the inhabitants of
the former city, and of all the principal places along her
route ; everybody taking great interest in her situation.
It was said that Sir A. Aston, on learning the Queen-
Regent's intention to abdicate, had endeavoured to
change her Majesty's resolution, but that the Queen
told his Excellency that she was actuated by nothing but
a desire to promote the good of her daughter's subjects,
and that she had no doubt Spain would come to regret
the absence of one who was so much disposed to pro-
mote the welfare and happiness of the country. We find
it stated in the same letter that the Queen-Regent had
expressed herself in very bitter terms to Espartero a
few minutes before leaving Valencia. I-ler Majsty re-
minded him that he had no cause to complain of her con-
duct towards him, to treat her in the way he had done
that, from being a subaltern efEcer, he had been raised
to high command, had been made by her Count of
! Luchana, Duke of Morello, and had been created a
grandee of Spain. " The only thing I could not do,"
