FRENCH PAPERS.

PARIS, J. 4.—Belgium is now become an,
entrepot-of English commerce. English merchan-
dize alone is cireulated in the different, parts of
that country... It is even said that the Belgian
merchants, who round it more. profitable to obtain
goods from rance, find it necessary, for the pur-,
pose of sale, to affix to them the English mark:—
The Belgians, on the whole, appear dissatisfied
with their present system of governMent. They
are anxious to know what final fate awaits them.
—(Gazette de FranciL)
Lord in. Bentinck arrived at Florence on the
18th of December, with his family.
Count Narbonne, French Minister to the Court
of. Palermo, has departed. on his destination.
Count de la Vauguyon has arrived at Paris from
Naples, having left the service of King Joachim.
VIENNA, Dlc. 23..--Last week the Negocia-
tions seemed to proceed tardily, as if some obsta-
cles bad occurred. The Emperor of Austria, be-
ing aware of this, proceeded to the Sovereign of
Russia, in person ; and after an hour's confer-
ence, a ineetink, was agreed upon to-morrow, at
which all the &owned Heads now in Vienna will
be present, with a view tO obviate those difficul- I
ties which seemed to present themselves.
VIENNA,: DEc, 24.—The Plenipotentiaries of
the Princes and States of the second rank unit on
the 2lst inst. another note in reply to the answer
of Count Munster, the Hanoverian Minister. It
is hoped that this note will have tbeeffect of re
moving some of the objection', which the Emperor
Francis had to resuming the title of Chief of the
Germanic Confederation.

.A report is current that a Prince of the House
of Anstria, will espouse the Princess Royal of
Denmark.
'I here is talk of a new and very important note
from Prince Metternich to the Ministers of Russia
and Prussia, relative to Saxony.
It is now certain that Austria is augmenting the
number of troops cantoned in Gallicia and the
Buckowine ; several regiments are on their.march
thither.

The Government of Genoa has protested against
its annexation to Sardinia.

On the 22d and 2, d, the Swiss Deputies had
long cOnferenceswith Prince Metternich, to which
Prince Talleyrand and Lord Castlereagh were in-
vited. After they. closed, • two Cabinet COuriers
were dispatched.
BERLIN, DEC. 20.—The evening before last, a
tumultuous scene took place at our theatre. The,
Luther of Werner (who turned Catholic at Rome
last year) was performed., Some people, who
chose to think this an odd contrast, gave out that
-the Piece would be hissed ; -in consequence of
this the police distributed 60,0 f their officers in
the pit, dressed like citizens. Scarcely had the
curtain riven, when universal hisses burst forth,
with
,shouts damning the play ; but the police of-
ficers arrested 17 of the most .turbulent, and the
Piece was concluded without interruption.
MIJNICII, DEC. 26.—The return of our King
appears again indefinitely, : the Treaty
of Alliance which he has Just signed with Austria
is assigned as the reason of. this. In consequence
of orders which the King.bas just sent from Vien-
na, and which will be immediately executed, the
disposable part of, the Bavarian army, namely,
the font divisions which made the campaign in
France, and which are still on the war footing,
will be considerably reinforced by the incorpora-
tion of a part of the reserves.-1 hese measures
are calculated to augment the Bavarian army,
cantOned on the left bank of the Rhine, in Fran-
conia and Bavaria, .by from 15 to 20,000 men ;
its total amount will then be from 50 to 60,000.
BOLOGNA, DEC. 21.—Our .city continues in a
ferment.- The people • seem to grumble without
object, and to be agitated without any precise
motive: This state of things, which is influenced
by the uncertainty as to the decisions of the Con-
gress,' is a very disagreeable one, • and paralyses
commerce.

TURIN, DEC. 25.—1 t is said, that the Court of
London has notified a demand to the King of
Naples, that he reduce his army so a peace esta-
blishment,---about 25,000 men.

MILAN, DEC. 25.—We ha'' here recovered a
little from the impressions caused by the numerous
arrests that have taken place. It is understood
that many of those who have withdrawn them-
selves, .have gone to Vienna, to demand justice
from the Emperor. It is to be hoped that his
Majesty will give an example of moderation and
impartiality which his agents have not always dis-

played. Preparations are ruak:ng at the palace
for the arrival of the Emperor.-
MADRID, DF.c. l3.—Official intelligence has
been received, that the 'communications with \Ten!
Cruz are intercepted ; but that the important
frAlress of Acapulco was retaken from the stir-
Fents. Some advantages obtained by his
jesty's at in other parts of New Spain Bre a's°
detailed .in the official Gazette.

MADRID DEC.• 22,—The Extraordinary Gazette
which has just given us news from Mexico, by.lf,
means dissipates our alarms with regard to
noble portion of our colonial possessions. In"
English Papers, which give much more recent ae;
counts from Mexico than those
.contained in 0°
Extraordinary Gazelle, renew our anxiety.
MODENA, DEC. 19.—The • movements of the
Austrian troops are inexplicable. Those from thel
Venetian States proceed to Southern Italy, •
those from -the latter are cantoned in Lombardi,
where several parks of artillery are forming in the
.
direction of Piedmont.
NAPLES, DEC. 14.—The generosity with wlticb
King Joachim has permitted, by his Decree of
the 3d inst. all those who subscribed -addresses of‘
fidelity, to decorate themselves with the Medal °l'
Honour and its red ribband, has caused even the
stilents_of the colleges and the-ushers of .the
sc-
minnries, to conform to the wishes of this clever
Monarch, in order to entide them to the decora°,
tion. .But we understand that hiS agents.force"
them; even by threats, to adopt this line dot" •
duct, without even sparing the ordinary schools'
in the three legations of Bologna, Rornagna,
Fermata, occupied by our troops. As he promisecs,
o his soldiers the. entire conquest of ltaly, 3° t
by this means raises their courage to the high°•
.
pitch; the provinces are alarmed ; and hi their an'
easiness, several of them have sent. addresses
amongst the number is art Albanian colony, which
occupies one of the isles in the Adriatic.

is not necessary to have Letters of Naturalization
to continue to reside in Belgium, and to enjoy tile"
protection of the laws, Sm. &c.
" The obligation of obtaining Letters of-Ns' .
titralizatiOn in order •to preserve public .fungi'

.Poses it as a duty to demand Letters of Naturaliza-
tion. From this obligation the 'Ecclesiastics and
AilliterTA are excepted. ,Those individuals are
likewise exempt from this formality, who without
filling any public employment, shall desire to tow!
tinue to reside in Belgium."
VIENNA, DEC. 4Y)..--The, tragic end of Baron
Schell,- the Austrian -Minister to the Count
of
Wirtemberg, is supposed to have been occasioned
by an abuse of confidence, which exposed M. De
Sehall to the mortification of being supposed :to
have betrayed some secrets of• State.—(L'Otaete,

There arc various opinions on this omission whe"

the re-establishment of the Imperial dignity whicu
is universally expected to become, sooner or later'
a subject of deliberation at the Congress h°
a matter adapted for the consideration of the t;1-.

ought not rather to be discussed as a PurelY na-
tional concern of Germany, only by the member"
