BRUSSELS PAPERS.

BRUSSELS. Aran. 27.—The annexed documents were
published here this morning, and appear so imp,irtant that
I hasten to remit you a translation of them. They will
prove the shifts to which the Dutch diplomatists have
been forced to have recourse in order to gain time. Toe
patience of the British and French diplomatists is much
tried ; the great question is, how long they will allow them-
selves to be played on by their chicanery :

(NOTE OF M. DEDEL.)

LoNnort, APRIL 16.—The undersigned Plenipoten-

tiary of his Majesty the King of the Low Countries, having
hastened to transmit to his Court the note which he hid
the honour to receive, on the 21 of April, from their Ex-
cellencies the Ambassador Extraordinary of his Majesty ti e
King of the French, and the Principal Secretary of State
for Foreign Affairs of his Britannic Majesty, considers
himself fortunate in being able, according to the instruc
. .

tions which he has just received, to express to their Ex-
cellencies how much the Government of the Netherlands
felicitates itself on finding, in the spirit of conciliation
which presided at the preparation or the a lid , a favour-
able omen for the approaching conclusion of an arrange
ment, and how the Court of the Hague is, on its side,
anim ited with the same sentiments.

" Their Excellencies having been pleased to honour him
with some observations on the project of convention which
he took the liberty of addressing to them on the 23d of
March, the Government of the Low Countries has espe-
cially recommended to him to accompany the said project
at ith a ,hart explanition, to the eff ct of offering to them
a t-m pledge of the high value which it attaches to their
opinion and to the judement which they pronounce on the
acts enanating fr,on the Cibinet of the Netherlands.
" In conformity with his orders, the undersigned takes
p,irmission, on the occasion of the quoting of the 3d pro-
tocol of the Conference of London, to adduce the 34th
protocol, dated the 23d of August, 1831, where a suspen-
sion of hostilities for a term was considered as better suited

;ban an indefinite suspension of bostil ties to the Bute of

the negotiations, by the established hopes of the Powers to
bring about by a short delay a final arrangement, and by
the nece-city of this arrangement not only for the parties
directly interested, but for the maintenance of the general
pe(ce. If, accordinv, to this principle, a suspension of
hostilities fir six weeks was considered to be bufficient for

that period, the Government of the Low Countries be-
lieved that it could nut present a less eqiiivocil guarantee
of its sincere desire to come, without any new complica-
tion, to a conclusion than by extending this suspension to
a term of about four month., at this day when an arrange-
ment is not less necessary for the parties directly inte-
rested, and for the maintenance of the general peace, since
the questions to be solved, as their Excellencies have justly
observed, are so reduced and offer so easy a solution, and
since the Cabinet of the Hague has already proved by its
notes awl its projects that it is ready to consent to the
fundamental stipulations which the Conference of London
has declared to be unchangeable. It is, therefore, difficult
to know how the 3d article of the project which thus
proves evidently a profound conviction that a definitive
arrangement should he concluded long before the expiration
of the term above-mentioned, of four months, could an-
nounce a reprisal of hostilities.
" However, this article appearing to have met a less
favourable reception from their Excellencies, the under-
signed is anthorized to propose the following stipulation :
" ' In the interval, until the relations between Holland
and Belgium shall be completely fixed by a definitive
treaty, his Majesty the King of the Low Countries, Grand
Duke of Luxemburg, will re-establish, relative to the ces-
sation of hostilities and the navigation of the Scheldt, the
state of things as it existed prior to tke Ist of Nov. 1832.'
" The 4th article shall be to the following effect:—
" The same arrangement shall take place with the
Belgian troops, as far as the cessation of hostilities is con-
cerned, and the said troops shall evacuate the places on the
two banks of the Scheidt, from the Pyp de Tab .c to below
the village of Doel and of Fort Frederick Henry, which
they did not occupy on the Ist of November, and shall
therein re-establish matters on the footing in which they
were at that epoch.'
" In the last part of this article, on which part the

undersigned is ready to come to an understanding, there
has not been by any means an intention to demand the
territorial evacuation by the Belgians, which, on the con-
trary, would not take place either in Limburg or Luxem-
burg, but solely that of some places in the neighbourhood
of 1,1110 and Liefkenshock, with the object, not of restrict-
ing the operations of the civil authorities, but only to re-
move from them the B lgian soldiers, and to avoid, by this
means. unpi asant collisions until the conclusion of the
defini'ive arrangements, in the same manner as many other
analogous dispositions in similar cases.
" Yre communications with Miestricht, as alluded to hi
the sth article of the project, were not disputed at any
period by the five Powers. In themselves inseparable
from the idea of a suspension of hostilities, it was in the
sense of conciliation that they were admitted, as a com-
pensation for the opening of the navigation of the Muse.
" As to the object referred to in the 6th article, the Go-
verninents of France and Great Britain declaring them-
selves ready to take upon themselves on this question the
engagements proposed by them in the projects of conven-
tion, communicated by Baron Van Zuylen, the Cabinet of
the Nether lands embraces this new opportunity of show-
ing its great wish to enter into the views of the Courts of
Paris and London by accepting the articles as proposed by
them.

" Besides that from those engagements the result must
arise of the preference given to the conclusion of a previous
convention, the Court of the Hague has the more willingly
stopped at the first alternative expressed in the note of their
Excellencies, as Austria, Prussia, and Russia having from
the commencement earnestly concurred to solve the nu-
merous difficulties attending these long negotiations, have,
for the above reason, acquired new titles to take part in
the discussion of the points still litigated, and which, con-
sequently, ought to be taken into consideration imme-
diately alter the conclusion of a previous convention. By
this proceeding, the definitive solution of the points which
remain unsolved being stationed under the auspices of the
common co-operation of the five Powers already represented
in the Conference of Lomlon, will be placed in harmony as
well with the position of the Government of the Low
Countries as with the actual necessities of Europe.

" DEDEL."
(AxswEß OF PRINCE TALLEYRAND AND OF LORD PAL-
MERSTON, DATED prim 23.)

" TO HIS EXCELLENCY M. DEDEL.

" The undersigned Ambassador Extraordinary of his
Majesty the King of the French, and the Principal Se-
cretary of State for Foreign Affairs of his Britannic Ma-
it-sty, have had the honour to receive the note dated the
16th inst., which his Excellency M. Dedel,
tiary of his Majesty the King of the Low Countries, has
been charged by his Court to address to them, in answer
to that which they bad remitted to him on the 2d inst.;
and they cannot forbear to express their regret to find that
owe so little calculated to advance the final arrangement
which the Government of the Netherlands declares itself
impatient to effect, and which is also as necessary to the
interests of Holland herself as to the maintenance of the
general peace.
" On coming to that part of the note of his Excellency
M. Dedel which refers to the 34th protocol, the under-
signed abstain from making the Tonal lcs which the events
of the epoch to which allusion is there made would natu-
rally suggest to their minds, because they think that to
renew a discussion on past grounds of complaint against
the Dutch Government would but serve to throw ob•
stac'es in the way of the pacification, which has been the
object of the constant efforts of their respective Govern--
talents,

" They will therefore conffne themselves to show that
the present circumstances being very different from those
of the epoch in question, the measures which were con-
sidered proper to be adopted at that period have been
wholly inapplicable to the actual state of affairs. But
the undersigned must recall to the attention of the Dutch
Government, that although the five Powers had then con-
sented to a definite armistice as to the time, their intention,
as all the acts of the Conference prove, had never been to
admit that when the term fixed for the duration of the
armistice should have expired, permission was to be given
to Holland and Belgium to resume hostilities, and as a
proof of this assertion, the undersigned require no other
than to refer to the note Annex D to the 49th protocol,
addressed by the Conference to the Plenipotentiaries of
the Low Countries, in which the Plenipotentiaries of
the five Courts show that they could not but declare
their firm determination of opposing, by all the means in
their power, the renewal of a conflict, which having be-
come without object, would form fir the two countries
the source of great evils, and would menace Europe with
a general war, which it was the first duty of the Five
Powers to prevent.'
" The five Powers have never since departed from this
determination—they have frequently and unanimouly re-
peated it in their subs, quent acts.
" But if, in the month of October, 1831, the five
Powetsjudged it useless to require from the Dutch Go-
vernment the engagement of a renewed and unlimited
