BRUSSELS, MARCH 9.—On the last market day at
Arlon there was a considerable fall in the price of
potatoes. This happy circumstance is attributed to the
fact, that this is the time when the farmers open the pits,
in which they keep the potatoes during the winter, and
that they have been found in a state of perfer•t
preservation. We have nothing positive to
say to-day as to the Ministerial crisis. If we
are rightly informed, it was not till yesterday
(Sunday) that M. Van de Weyer fin6lly declined form-
ing a new Cabinet, at least it was y'esterday that he in-
formed his Majesty of it.
All the information that we have been able td collect,
agrees, that M. Van de Weyer had full power to re-
constitute the Cabinet, and that he was not confined to
choose his colleagues among the members of the pre-
ceding Ministry, besides there was no reason to think
that X Van de Weyca- could entertain the idea of
turning his back on the programme contained in his
speeches of the 17th and 19th of November.
This same programme seems to be still destined to
remain the basis of fixture combination. At the open-
ing of the Chamber of Representatives to-day, the
Minister for Foreign Affairs proposed that the Cham-
ber should defer till Wednesday the discussions of the
project of law on public accounts, M. Melon, the Mi-
nister of Finance, who is to defend, being prevented by
a severe domestic affliction from attending in his place
to-day, was agreed to.
To-morrow the Chamber will discuss the project of
law on the tariq nf Customs, of which M. Osy is the
rer,orter.

bRA.e:OW Axe GALLICIA.—Vienna, papers of the 4th
say, according to a report of Major-General Malter,
dated Bielitz, March Ist, he had caused the point of
Osivleczim (on the frontier of Cracow) and all the
r_Ther passages, on the Vistula, as far as Podgorze, to be
guarded by detachments of troops, in order to prevent
any attempts of 'the Cracow insurgents escaping across
the river.

VIENNA, MARCH 4,—We received no news yester-
day, and perhaps shall not hear any till the arrival of
the train by the railroad, which usually comes about
half-past two in the afternoon. Meantime we hare your
viper (the Ai/gem/ate Zeituig) of the Ist of March,
which brings us much later news, or which we have
heard nothing, and probably never shall again. I mean
the letter marked * * *, in which there is not one
word of truth: thero was no attack on Cracow on the
night of the 22d, consequently General Collin was not
obliged by it to evacuate the city. The Cracow city
militia (there was no national guard) behaved admi-
rably from the first to the last man. The commandant
was not deposed by General Collin ; there was no deser-
tion of the militia, no general engagement, and there-
fore not two, much less 200 infantry and 140 cavalry
(nearly all that was in Cracow), could be killed
in that general engagement. The Archbishop of Cra-
cow, the Senate, and General Chlopietre quietly with-

drew with the troops over the Vistula bridge, and no
detachment was cut off. Not a man, much less a detach.
ment of the brave regiment of Nugent, deserted to the
insurgents. On the 28th of February there was not (as
your correspondent in Vienna pretends to know already,
on the 24th) a man of Prussian and Russian troops
about Cracow. Why does your correspondent send you
these unfavourable reports ? He either can know
nothing, or will know nothing. But what I know is, that
it is a shame, on the ground of a mere report, to cast a
slur on the honcur of troops at the moment when they
show a devotedness and fidelity which gain the admi-
ration of all foreigners, and still more that of their own
countrymen.
