BELGIUM.

BRUSSELS, Mulct( 17.—We learn that the French Go-
vernment has lately decided that all the French officers still in
the Belgian service shall be recalled, and must return to
France in a fortnight. General Hurel, who is at the head
of the general staff of the army, is recalled as well as all the
others.
The politicians are in a state of great agitation, and thus
agitation will shortly be communicated to the mass of the
people.
The address which the majority of the Senate proposes to
present to the King, in order to acquaint him in a round about
way that the Ministry has not the confidence of the Senate,
can have no other result than an appeal to the opinion of the
fcaerunttirieyr,ethies daefiimiitainviefeasrtbdiitseagrr, tnoeinwhenich tbreetcNoveuernsethmeusltstbaenhda2d(i
Chamber. We can foresee only fatal consequences from all
this to our manufactures and commerce, the interests o iwhich
we defend, while they are risked by these same persons who
complain of their being in danger.
This conflict between the Chamber and the Senate is only an
additional proof of the impotency and the danger of th f repre-
sentative system which teems to lay itself open to an 18th of
13rumaii C.
The Address of the Senate is calculated to embarrass the
Sovereign, who cannot, however, take on himself the responsi-
bility of it. A general election, then, will again agitate the
country in a strange manner; the struggle will be terrible, and
every body will suffer by it ; yet the Ministry which it is pro-
posed to overthrow, as being suspected of Liberalism, is some-
thing less than Liberal, if we judge by the regulations which
it has just adopted against associations, regulations which the
preceding Roman Catholic Ministry would not have dared to
make.
In the sitting of the Senate yesterday a proposal, signed by
M. de Rouille and nine other Members, was brought forward
to this effect:—" Conformably to Act 32 of the Standing
Orders, we l.ave the honour to propose that the Senate farm
itself into a Secret Committee."
The proposal was energetically opposed by M. Duval and
several other Members, but as the terms of the standing order
on this point are positive, the galleries were cleared. In half
an hour the public sitting was resumed, and the draft of an
addre s to the King was read, the substance of which. was,
