BRUSSELS PAPERS.

BRUSSELS, JULY 9.—By a decree of the 6th instant,
the King authorizes the establishment of barracks for SOO
men in the town of Hasselt, in order to relieve the in-
habitants, as far as possible, from the burden caused by
having soldiers quartered on them.
During the last ten days a great number of Swiss and
Germans, returning from the Dutch service, have passed
through Arlon.
Every thing announces that most important negotia-
tions will shortly be opened at London. The departure
of Baron Verstolk de Soelen, Minister for Foreign
Affairs, and depositary of the most secret thoughts of
King William, seems to announce that the Cabinet of
the Hague is preparing for a decisive struggle with us in
the conference.

Under these circumstances, we (i. e., the Courrier Beige)
think that our Ministry would be guilty of a blameable
neglect of the interest of the country, if it did not prepare
to combat with advantage the diplomacy of Holland.
Though differing from M. Van de Weyer, we have
always acknowledged his talents and address ; but these
qualities cannot supply the plans of positive knowledge
which M. Van de Weyer unhappily wants.
The Courrier Beige states, that it has received, from a
respectable source, the following particulars of the pro-
posals to be made by M. Verstolk de Soelen :
First, King William requires that Belgium shall im-
mediately take upon itself 12 millions of florins instead of
8,600,000 in the division of the debt. His chief ground for
this demand is, that the first division is not admissible since
the additional expense caused to Holland during the three
years that our separation has already continued, of which ex-
penses be pretends that Belgium is the principal cause.
An additional reason which he alleges is, that if
Belgium does not take on itself 12,000,000, it will
be impossible for Holland to avoid bankruptcy. Now
King William pretends that it is the interest of Europe to
avoid such a catastrophe, and that as Belgium is to serve
chiefly for the arrangetnent of the interests of Europe, it is
but just that it should bear the burden which is to save
Europe from a great financial commotion.
The second proposal is to establish a toll on the Scheldt,
and a transit duty on every thing going to Germany by
the inland waters of Holland, but reserving to the Bel-
gians the favour that all their merchandise passing by
those two routes, under Dutch colours, shall enjoy a re-
duction of 10 per cent. on the gross duty.
The third point of the instructions of M. Verstolk is to
show to the Conference that it cannot interfere in the
question of Luxemburg without trespassing on the rights
of the German Confederation, and that this question
must therefore be resumed. It follows that the question
of Limburg, which is connected with that of Luxemburg,
must be also resumed.

The instructions of M. Verstolk say nothing of the
recognition of Belgium. The treaty to be concluded
between Holland and the Conference is to be made so that
the five Powers would stipulate for Belgium in the same
manner as France and England have done, in the treaty of
May 21.
We leave it to the public to reflect on what we have
just stated, and to consider into what a labyrinth of nego-
tiations and endless delays the Ministry would have led
us, had not the Chamber, in its address in answer to the
speech from the throne, repaired, in some measure, the
blunder committed in the implicit acceptance of the treaty
of May 21.—Brussels Papers, July 10.

MUNICH, JUNE 29.—Tbe number of students at Wm z-
burg is 460. The ❑ew Warzbury Journal will be
edited, from the Ist of July, by a young physician, Dr.
Roustan, a liberal man, whose pompous announcement ap-
pears in the journal.
P. S.—We just now learn that Dr. Roustan, who is a
native of Strasburg, is ordered to quit the kingdom of
Bavaria, within three days.
STUTGARD, JULY 30.—A1l the four persons arrested
