CONPiRACY AT

BRUSSELS,

We have this moment received a copy of ,Le
Courrier Beige, published late on Saturday
evening, from which we make the following im-

lortant extract:—

(From the Courrier Beige.)
Whilst France has been convulsed. by emeutss, Spain
insurrection, and the United States and England by agita-
tion, the world beheld the tranquillity of Belgium with
astonishment. It was scarcely possible that this state of
things could continue, for Belgium is every bit as consti-
tutional, and, consequently, must " go ahead" as fast as
other nations which keep continually progressing in their
onward course. The Powers that be are not a jot less
stronger, therefore we also must, show some signs of
life, and thus this night have we also had our conspiracy.
It was not the police, however, who] threw any obstacles
in the way to prevent this explosion, which has been
inevitable ever since the fetes of September. The funds
of the police arc inefficient to provide for the safety of
the State. There can be no doubt that the conspirators
were all in earnest in this affair, and "meant business."
Two new six-pounders and two field pieces, with
horses and ammunition, have been seized in one of our
suburbs.
Six persons were arrested last night, among whom
it is said, are V. P., the Intendant of the 3" arechaussee,
and a captain of the wounded of September.
Two Generals have fled.
The place where the cannon-balls were cast has been
discovered, as also the person who made the cartridges.
The four pieces of cannon that were seized are in the
Town-hall. .
Attempts have been made to seduce some subaltern
officers of the garrison, who denounced them.
To-morrow was the day fixed for the execution of
the plot, which had ramifications at Ghent, Antwerp, and
Leige, among the disaffected. It might have succeeded
if it broke out in the night, for the officers living in the
suburbs might have been killed before they could get to
their barracks, This accounts for the order given to all
the officers of the garrison to return to.the city.
From what transpired, the authorities pretend to have
the clue to a vast counter-revolutionary conspiracy,
which has been continuing for several months.
It is said that the Ministry have sent numerous
orders and instructions to the province this morning.
There was a Council of Ministers this morning, and
despatches have been sent to the King.
The pieces of artillery were seized at the Tivoli Gar-
dens. The conspirators consisted partly of Orangeists,
and partly of true patriots ; each of which party had its
Diego Leon represented by the two Generals, V. D. S.,
and V. D. M., who have takett.to their heels. The bro-
ther of the former has been arrested. Of a truth, Bel-
gium is a country of imitators.
We have also received the following details: -
.During thethole of yesterday afternoon, the police-
and authorities were on the alert. Thousands of ru-
mours were afloat, respecting the going and comings of
these functionaries. It was at first thought to relate to
a band of robbers, which, it is well known, has exten-
sive, ramifications in this city. This, however, the bet-
ter informed said, was caused by a conspiracy against the

welfare of the State.
The law officers, accompanied by the police agents, re-
paired to the different quarters of the town to make domi,-.
ciliary visits at the residence of the persons suspected.
Amongst others they proceeded to the house of M. Decre-
hen in the Rue d'Argent. They were compelled to break
open the doors, and seized several articles. Gendarmes
then went in pursuit of M. Decrehen, who was arrested
and taken to the bureau of Public Safety. He is re-
ported to have had a violent altercation with the Minister
of War. As M. Decrehen alighted from the carriage
before tl.e door of the Minister of the Interior, he suc-
ceeded in escaping, but was, subsequently, recaptured.
Large bodies of people assembled about the streets, and
troops are stationed about the town.
M. Decrehen has been interrogated, but nothing is as
yet known. Some other arrests have taken place, and
'the Guards at the, posts about the town have been dou-
bled. A battalion of the 10th has just arrived at
Brussels.
The whole of the municipal, legal, and military autho-
rities, have been up all night, and warrants have been
issued against a large number of persons. Amongst
those already arrested are the ex-General Vandersinissen;
General Vandermeeren; Vandersmissen, a merchant,
brother of the General ; Parys, military Intendant, with
his Secretary ; M. Van S., a Government employe ;
Parent, ex-Commandant of the Corps Francs. Alto-
gether upwards of 20 persons have been arrested, and
warrants are out against several others.
Amongst the articles seized at the houses of the con-
spirators are four small pieces of cannon, with all the
necessary necessaries. These were taken at the house
of M. de Beaumont, formerly an officer of Artillery.
At the house of M. P., in the Rue des Dominicains, was
seized a large chest, containing balls, powder, three pis-
tols, a carbine, Sm. The judicial authorities are also
inspecting the premises of M. T., a coachraaker, outside
the Lacken gate.
The authorities declare that they have discovered the
traces of a widely-extending conspiracy. The Ministers
assembled in Council this morning, and several expresses
have been sent off by the King.
P.S. Three o'clock, P.31.-G enerals Vandersmissen
and Vandermeeren, who were supposed to have fled have
been found concealed in the house of apainter. Malaise,
formerly a subaltern officer, member of the order of
Leopold, a tinman, living out of the Neumer-gate, manu-
factured the cartridges. The extra locomotives were
sent last night to Antwerp, Ghent, and Leige.
General Lecharlies set out yesterday at three o'clock,
for Ghent.-

Their Majesties came to town yesterday. The King
presi.itld in a Council of Ministers, and after the Council
gave audienal to a deputation of printers, compositors,
and pressmen.
Having listenea ,attentively to the observations ad-
dressed to him, his MaSesty (says the Observateur) an-
swered in the following terms ;
ors to be premature.
" Gentlemen, I believe your 10,
With respect to the treaty matters are :in such a state of
stagnation that you have nothing to' fear at [his thoment•
Besides, Belgian topography has attained such ,degree
of perfection that it can bear competition with th..'t of
other nations. •
" I think, 'too," continued his Majesty, " that in case
of a fusion of your trade with France, foreign editors
would prefer. publishing in Belgium, because it is so
much cheaper.
"No attempt has yet been made among us to reprint
English and German works, which, however, is done
with success in France, and I think that if you reprinted
those works you might export a large. quantity. to Ame-
rica, where theAnglo-Saxon population daily increases,
and the love of reading spreads more and more."
The King set out this morning for his seat at
Ardenne, and will return about the end of next week.
We bear that the Session of the Chamber for 1841-
1842 will be opened by the king in person. Accord-
ing to the Constitution the Chambers are to meet on the
second Tuesday in November. By a decision of the
Tribunal of the first instance at Brussels, Mr. Canty and
his accomplices, accused of defacing the statues in the
Park, are to be tried by the Correctional Tribunal. Air.
