BRUSSELS, MARCH 12.—1 n the sitting of the Cham-
ber of Representatives yesterday, the project of law
for the repression of duelling was passed by a large ma-
jority, the minority being only six.
To-day the discussion of the budget of the War De-
partment commenced.

The Almister of War justified the re-instalment of
General Vandermisbon, to which he thought himself
obliged by the twenty-four articles.

M. Dumortier attacked this act of the Government,
and was answered by the Minister of the Interior.
The reigning Duke of Saxe Coburg and his brother
Prince Ferdinand have quitted Brussels, one to return
to Gotha, the other to Vienna.
Prince Ferdin ind will return at the time of the mar-
riage of his daughter to the Duke of Nemours. Prin.
cess Victoria remains at Brussels till that time.

get of the War Department is continued to-day. The
Minister of Justice spoke at great length in favour of
the application of the amnesty to General Vandermissoo,

The Minister of the interior was replying when we went
to press.
CONSTANTINOPLE, FEB. 19.—The Greek Patriarch
here has been called to account by the Porte for his
conduct in the lonian Islands as head of the Not-United
Greek Church. It is resolved to institute formal pro-
ceedings in this matter, and, after mature consideration
of the fact, pass judgment upon him. •One great
cause of offence in the Patriarch is his pastoral letter
relative to mixed marriages, in which he declares the
marriages celebrated without the observance of his
directory null and void, and ex-communicates not only
those who perform the ceremony, but also tho bride and
bridegroom. These pretensions •of the Patriarch are
the subject on which the Porte has to decide, The
issue of the affair is anxiously looked for.

The Athourum relates the following anecdote
of the late Sir Jeffrey Wyattville, in reference to the restora.
tion, at Windsor Castle. 'When the private apartments of the
King (George the Fourth) were under consideration, his Ma-
jesty was naturally somewhat more peremptory than usual.
especially as to their relative proportions, and it is well known
that he dirt not like large rooms. Watt's head, however, was
full of a palaee ; and when the King suggested what he consi-
dered as the proper size for his dressing-room, Wyatt pro-
tested that such a cupboard was better suited to a country curate
than to Majesty. The latter, however, was peremptory
on the -subject, arid cut short all remonstrance with--!' It shall
