Article HI. permitting millions

debate
on the finances of the country.
The Chamber; then adopted Articles 111. and IV. It
thus adopted, without a deb Ate, all the articles relative
to the regular expenses, which amount to 1-1,856,0001.
The whole of the budget of ways and means, and of the
regular receipts, was voted by a majority of 69 to 5.
'rhe next subject on the order of the day was the pro-
ject of law regulating the promotion of the Princes of
the Royal family in the army, which was adopted
without a debate, by a majority of 71 to 2.
BRUSSELS, DEC. 11.—The Chamber of Representa-
. .

Ives, on its sitting to day, commenced the debit-1
e fums,
on the
re to
project of law for a vote of credit, 2,000 000
which the central section proposed to ; r
2,300,000 francs, for measures relative to the
laoaso
importationf
_
of provisions, to the improvement of the linen
tures, and for draining and colonising the Campine.acA
proposal of M. Orban, to separate from this project of
law the sum of 500,000 francs, for facilitating the drain•
ing, &c., of the Campine, was the first subject of debate,
in which the Minister of the Interior, and several other
Members took part, when Mr. Orban's proposal, with
some modification, was agreed to. It was expected that
the discussion of the project of law would proceed, when
a motion by M. Osy gave occasion to a long
and angry debate. M. Osy asked the Minister
)f the Interior if he approved of a letter
of the Governor of East Flanders, which treats
tf the speculation of the merchants, which might cause
the prices ot corn to rise. M. Osy calls this letter an
ofilaice to the honour of the merchants, and affirms that
the writer was clearly animated by malevolence and ill
will. The Minister of the Interior said that, in his opi-
nion, there was nothing offensive in the letter to the
merchants ; that in pointing out the danger of specula-
tion, and the frauds which might be committed to the
prejudice of the consumer, he thought the publication of
this letter might be of service in preventing culpable
fraud. After a short reply of M. Desmaisieres, who
refuted the imputations of M. Osy, and observed that
he had expressed precisely the same opinion as the
Governor of the Province of Antwerp. The debate became
still more animated, Messrs. Loos, Roget, Verhaegen,
vehemently defended the insulted honour, though the
Government declared that nothing of the kind was in-
tended. M. Verhaegen even went so far as to ask
whether it would not be possible to bring an action for
calumny against the author of the letter, written in June,
and which the Government had not published till De-
cember. M. Verhaegen even said that the letter had
been published solely with the view to excite the people
to plunder the corn merchants. The best answer to all
these declarations was that of M. Molou—the letter
could not do any harm, but this debate might do much.
At length, after some further discussion, the Chamber
came to the real subject of the order of the day.

The Bishop of Nowfouneland had an interview with
Earl Grey yesterday at the Colonial•office.
