The Brussels Observcatie;,isfter stating the facts of the
Atirests, says:—" At the time of the fetes of September a
report was spread that a political movement was to break
out' find disturb the rejoicings. The conspirators were,

.it was said, divided as io the object of their-efforts. Some
wished for a republic, others for a restoration. The only
,thing upon which they were agreed was the overthrow
'of the throne of King Leopold. Once conquerors of the
,Government, they were to decide among, themselves to
whom the fruit of this common triumph should be ad-
judged, to a republic one and indivisible, or to the King
of Holland. All this was stupid in the extreme. To-
day the same version is circulated concerning the move-
ment, which was intended, as it is reported, shortly to
break out." The King of the Belgians is stated by this
paper to be at his seat of Ardennes, and was to go this
week to St. Hubert, where his Majesty has recently
bougkt some land, and where he intended to shoot for
several days. " There is no longer any mention," it
adds, " Of another visit of the King to Paris."
Theßrussels papers of Sunday contain the following:—
" BRUSSELS, OCT. 31.

" We were in error in stating that the two brothers of
General Vandersmissen had been arrested. One mer-
chant had only been taken. Madame Vandersmissen
and her son have been arrested. General Lecharlier has
also been arrested. lie had just arrived from Liege.

" The number of person; already in:icustodi is 14.
We learn that arrests have been made at Liege."
A letter from Brussels in the Debut's- says The
Government has received numerous revelations,
ing it that a movement was to be made simultaneously
at Ghent and Brussels ; but this senseless conspiracy has
been defeated'by the discovery of its chiefs. Couriers
were -sent to the King at Ardennes with the first news of
the affair. , He .will no doubt immediately return to
Brussels, where lie is anxiously expected. It is feared
that some ramifications of the plot have extended to the
army, although in general it is well disposed and loyal.
The first effect produced by the news was general hila-
rity ; for every one believed it to be a joke, though a
very bad one. But we were obliged to give credence to
the proofs adduced."
The Quotidienne has a Brussels letter stating that
when M. de Crehen had an audience on Saturday of
General Buzen, Minister of War, he abused him, and at
length proceeded to acts of personal violence against that
officer.
The Globe of Brussel,says that the following persons
have been arrested in that capital, in addition to those
already mentioned :—M. Van Laethem formerly aide-
de-camp to General Lecharlier, in the army of Portugal ;
M. Van Swae, son of the late burgomaster of Jette. It
adds, " among the persons implicated in this Conspiracy,
there are to be seen by the side of the Orangeists men.
who played first parts in the days of September, and
malcontents of all parties. As to the nature of the' plot
nothing is yet said, and the strange pelt mete of the.names
that frrure in it scarcely allows of an opinion being
formed upon ih"

Some weeks since, while a merchant vessel, the
St. Jeari Baptiste Of Marseilles, was in the Archipelago,
her supereatr,o, Gavi, was taken with an illness from
which he
suffered extreme . pain. His son, a lad,
who was on boad, was one. day on deck. with a Ge-
noese sailor, and, lamenting the cruel state of
his
father, said " I -wobld rather die than See him con-

giving it to Ansaldi, said—" Now fire, and see if I
shrink." The sailor took the weapon, presented it at
the youth's breast, pulled the trigger, and killed him
instantaneously. Ansaldi was put under arrest, sent to
France in a corvette, which arrived three days ago at
Marseilles, where he is imprisoned to take his trial for
the murder.
