BRUSSELS PAPERS.

BRUSSELS, JULY 28.—The King and Queen will be si
Ostend on the 4th or sth of next month. We are assured tiol
they will reside at the house of M. Ed. Serray's, and that trie
new pavilion on the Dike, on which the workmen are very se-
tively employed, is also intended for their use. Great Pre;
partitions are making to receive their Majesties, and a gree
number of strangers have already arrived.
The Minister of Finance presented, on the 19th of this
month, a project of law on the postage of letters. The posl:
will be estimated on two principal bases, the distance anal
weight.
All letters below the weight of 10 grammes to be considered
as single. Letters from 10 to 15 granimes in weight to pill
double postage ; from 15 to 20 grammes 21d. postage, 3111;
on, adding half the postage of a single letter for every au
tional five grammes weight.
With respect to distance, it is calculated from one Pest-
office to another : to 30 kilometres in a straight line two de,
cimes ; from 30 to 60 kilometres 3 decimes ; from 60 to Iv'
kilometres 4 decimes ; from 100 to 150 kilometres 5 decitne,_,',
and so on, adding 1 decime for every 50 kilometres on V'
postage of a single letter.
Books, journals, periodical works, &c., to pay 2 centiro,be:
per sheet of the size of 12 to 30 square decimetres ; and 5
postage of the same articles coming from foreign countries:.
fixed at 10 decimes per sheet of 30 square decimetres and abo.vie,
Though the importance of this project of law is indisp'ltaebe,
it is, however, certain that it will not be discussed during ti;
present session ; and it will, perhaps, be hardly possible for t f
discussion to come on till some months after the opening
°
the next session. both
According to the new corn law now sanctioned by 0,
Chambers, regulating the duties on importation, exportati?co
and transit, the principle of a maximum and a minimum 11,10
