BRUSSELS AND GERMAN PAPERS.

BRUSSELS, SEPT. 24. __Yesterday morning at seven
o'clock, salutes of artillery announced the solemnity of the
day ; and at eight the bells of all the churches were tolled
as for a funeral. The tri-coloured flags were hoisted on the
public edifices. The Divine service in the church of St.
Gudule was attended by a great concourse of persons, of all
ranks, the civil and military authorities, the Ministers of
State, and the wounded of September. The choir was
hung with black. A Cenotaph surmounted by four lions,
with burning lamps at the corners, was erected in front of
the choir. Trophies, with their national coloQrs, decorated
the columns of the building. Cherubini's Requiem com-
menced at eleven, and at half-past twelve the ceremobT was
concluded.
At five o'clock the Royal Society of the Grande Har-
monie gave a concert in the pavilions in the centre of the
Park Alley. The alleys were crowded, and the several
pieces of music were highly applauded.
Yesterday evening between eleven and twelve o'clock,
numerous groups repaired spontaneously to the Place des
Martyrs, and repeatedly sung the Brahancon.
It is said that in the concert to be given to-morrow at
the Botanic Garden there will be 1,400 performers.

In the night of the 21st, the statue of St. John Nepo-
mucene, which is on the bridge at the old gate of Laeken,
and is generally considered as a master-piece, was muti-
lated in such a manner that it is now a mere trunk of no
value. The police are said to have a clue to discover the
perpetrators of this act of barbarism.
The courier de I'Escaut says—" We learn, by a letter
from Rome, that, by a decision of the Council of Cardinals,
all power has been given to the Vicars-General of the dio-
cese for the election of a Bishop. M. Labis is generally
spoken of as likely to fill the vacant see."
General Debbits has just ordered Madame Simons, wife
of M. Simons, Member of the Chamber of Representatives,
to quit Maestricht. This lady has continually resided at
Maestricht ever since the Revolution. The General has,
however, allowed her a fortnight to.make her arrangements.
It is said that M. Coppin refused the Government:of the
province of Luxemburg.—Brussels Papers, Sept. 25.
VIENNA, SEPT. 16. The Vienna bankers, Baron
D'Arnstein and Baron Von Eskcles, have contributed each
2,000 florins, and Baron Von Geysnuller and Co., N. M.
Von Rothschild, and Baron Sina, each 4,000 florins, for
the relief of the sufferers by the fire at Weiner. Neustadt.
Letters from Bucharest announce that the Hospodars of
the principalities, and several chief Boyars, have received
each presents from the Emperor of Russia, as they
already had from the Sultan.
We have the most satisfactory accounts from Brumm
of the health of their Imperial Majesties and the Arch-
dukes, and of the Crown Prince of Bavaria.
Namil: Paella arrived at Brumm on the 10th, to have
an audience of the Emperor.—Frankfort Papers, Sept; 22.
ST. PETERSBURGH, SEPT4.I3.--His Majesty the Emperor
has addressed the following Ukase to the Minister of the
Imperial Court :
" The solemn inauguration which has taken place
this day of the monument of my most beloved
brother and benefactor, the late Emperor Alex-
ander, has fulfilled the most sacred vow of my
heart ; the vow of the whole country. It only remains
for us to honor this monument so dear to us Russians by
assigning it a special guard. I consider it to be the most
appropriate to confide it to the veteran warriors composing
the company of the Palace Grenadiers, as they were present
at the great victories which made .the Russian army, re-
nowned under the Government of the immortal Emperor.
I therefore order the company of Palace Grenadiers to be
increased by a subaltern and 12 privates, who are to be
chosen according to the regulations of the company, and to
let them begin their new duty to-day. You will not fail to
take the necessary steps for this purpose.

FRENCH PAPERS.

(From Galignani's Messenger of Thursday.)
It seems certain that General Sebastiani will shortly go
as Ambassador to Naples, but it is believed that his stay
will not be long. His mission is said to have two important
objects—the marriage of one of the French Princesses with
the DlTtlier of the-1k1i,5 4,15. .414,....a.dg_
ment of the young Queen of Spain by the Neapolitan
Court.—Constitutionnel.
Extract of a letter of the 20th instant from Bayonne
" In addition to the cholera, Bilboa has the frightful and
daily spectacle of skirmishes up to the very gates of the
town, and the report of musketry is incessantly in the ears
of the inhabitants, through the night as well as day.
Bilboa appears to have become the great object of the in-
surgents. General Espartero has returned from an expe-
dition with 8,000 men, but which has been without any
result. In a few hours after his arrival thirty of his men
died of the cholera. Iturriza and Guibelalde entered
Oyarzun on the 17th. They carried off fifty young men,
and sent them bound into the mountains. On the 18th, at
nine in the morning, El Pastor having heard of their being
in the town, came down,. but it was lost labour, as the
Carlists had disappeared before his arrival. With this
exception, there is nothing new or important from the
army of General Rodil, which seem to be discouraged by
.their marches and countermarches, which they are even
obliged to make sometimes in the night ; being to-day
pursued, and to-morrow pursuing, no decive result can be
expected."
Extract of a letter from Darmstadt of the 17th inst.:—
«
In the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies the day before
yesterday, the discussion on the War Budget was very ani-
mated. The committee named by the Chamber to report on
the proposals of the Government, ascertained that, accord-
ing to the Federal Constitution, the Grand-Duchy was only
required to furnish one Lieutenant-General, while 10 were
on the army list, and the number of other superior officers
was no less disproportionate. It would therefore be pos-
sible, in strict conformity with their engagements with the
Confederation for the formation of the army, to economize
62,000 florins annually in the salaries of superior officers
alone. The Chamber has consequently resolved to request
the Government to come to an understanding with the
States, so as irrevocably to fix the number of the officers,
and effect an economy which is really required. The con-
tingent of the Grand Duchy amounts only to 6,195 men."
The Berlin State Gazette quotes the Prussian Funds on
the 18th inst., 4 per Cents., cash, 99 ; paper, 99i.
The Zurich Gazette publishes a circular letter, addressed
by the Swiss Directory to the several cantons, announcing
that it had received a despatch from the Grand Duchy of
Baden, dated August the 15th, declaring the intention of
the Grand Duchy to abandon the treaty of commerce con-
cluded with Switzerland, in case the Grand Duchy should
accede to the German system of customs. To this the Di-
rector says it replied on the 3d inst., that Switzerland ac-
cepted the offer by which this communication was accom-
panied, of suffering the matter to remain in statu quo until
the tariff of the new system Was put in force by the acces-
sion of Baden, reserving itself to make overtures for new
commercial relations.
The .Journal de Rouen has the following account of the
dinner given on Tuesday to M. Laffitte :—" The place for
the banquet was the park of M. Jacques. Levavasseur, at
the gate of the town. The tables were laid about half way
up Mont Gargan, in an alley which commands a view of the
town, and under a tent richly ornamented with tricoloured
flags. They extended the whole length of -the alley, and
afforded seats for at least 550 guests. The committee had
invited Messrs. Dupont de l'Eure, Odillon Barrot, Petou,
Desjobert, Arago, and Beranger, the lyric poet, but none
of them were able to attend. M. Arago is in England, M.
Petou is very unwell, M. Dejobert is taking the waters at
Mont d'Or, and M. Beranger was also too much indisposed
to be present. The absence of M. Dupont de l'Eure was
explained by a letter from him, dated the 19th, from Beran-
geville la Riviere, in which he thanks the electors of Rouen
for choosing M. Laffitte as their representative, and de-
clares that he joined cordially in the honours they were
about to render to him, but having decided not to take any
part in the proceedings of a chamber which had already
shown that it was acting under false auspices, without the
new opposition being able to turn it from its counter-
revolutienary line of march, he must abstain from join-
ing a meeting the political views of which lie supposed
did not go beyond the system of an oppositin in whose
hopes he could not partake, though he did do honour
to their intentions. M. Odillon Barret also excused
his non-attendance by a letter, dated from Cercey, in which
he declares that he should have most willingly joined in the
proposed testimony of esteem to M. Laffitte, had he not
been prevented by imperative business, which would detain
him at Cercey for six or seven days. The whole party was
seated at table by four o'clock. M. Laffitte appeared with
no other decoration than the riband of July. He was com-
pletely overcome by the testimonies of affection, esteem, and
gratitude he received on entering. A series of toasts, con-
sistent with the object of the meeting, and the political
principles of the party to which M. Laffitte belongs, were
given and drunk with every testimony of warmth and feel-
ing, and the several persons present returned thanks in ap-
propriate terms. The first toast given was, Our illustri-
ous and worthy representative, M. Jacques Laffitte,' which
was proposed by the President, M. Bouvet Ronde], a
Judge of the Tribunal of Commerce. The acclamations
with which this toast was received having subsided, M.
Laffitte rose, and after declaring his total inability to ex-

press in adequate terms his gratitude for the honour that
had been done him, protested that the principles he pro-
fessed had ever been uniformly the same. He had adopted
them in his youth, and had been guided by them in
all his efforts, and he hailed them with a satis-
faction which he expected to enjoy long, when they
succeeded in enabling France, on the rising of the
glorious sun of July, to nobly unite the revolu-
tion of 1830 with that of 1789. Though he was a
sincere partisan of the new monarchy, he saw in it nothing
but the interests of his country, and would have instantly
broken all connexions with it, have sacrificed all his per-
sonal affections, if they had become inconsistent with those
of a true patriot and a lover of liberty. At present, though
his hopes were weakened, his confidence was not entirely
destroyed. Great faults had been committed, but the patri-
tism and energy displayed by the present party were proofs
that the day csf reparation was not far distant. But, how-
ever this might be, :::!4,would answer by his own courage and
devotedness the examP.lf of energy set him that day. As
deputy for Rouen, for one of !he
.great centres of French
industry, he congratulated himself J:.! being brought back
to the support of interests which had eve had his most
anxious wishes—interests which depend upon, and-rannot
exist without order and liberty. The party broke up at ari
early hour, and the whole of the guests accompanied M.
Laffitte to his hotel, where he delivered another short' n!-
dress, which was answered by shouts of • Vive Laffitte ! '
Vive la Libert6 !' "
BOURSE, Thursday, Sept. 25.—The funds have slightly
improved. There is no report of any arrival either from
Spain or by telegraph ; it seems however, impossible that
the Government should not have any further news.
The 3 per Cents. move between 76, 40, and 35 ; and
the 5 per Cent. Spanish, 36! to 37i ; and the 3 per Cents.
