ANTWERP, OCT. 10.—Lord Auckland
passed through this place a day or two ago, and Dr.
Bowring has been here for several days. They have
bad, we understand, communications with the leading
members of the Chamber of Commerce on the subject of
the commercial relations between Great Britain and Bel-
gium, and the means of giving them greater development.
The new position in which Belgium is placed by the re-
cognition of her independence, will naturally require
the modification of such parts of her tariff as were
created to her prejudice under Dutch influences. Ge-
nerally speaking, the tendency of opinion is towards liberal
changes. The prosperityof Antwerp is making daily progress,
and a very active demand for produce in general has for same
time existed. This demand is, however, almost wholly for
home consumption ; but if a liberal law of transit is
adopted by the Chambers, such a law as is demanded by
the most intelligent merchants here, and if the operation
of that law is assisted by those improved communications
which now occupy so much of the polilic attention in this
country, there can be little doubt of a vast increase in the
trade of this important port. The entrepots which have
lately been erected, are on a scale of great extent and mag-
nificence; they are worthy of the docks, which are remark-
able for their excellence, and rank among the few real and
substantial benefits conferred on his subjects by Napo-
leon. The ruins left by the late bombardment and siege
are rapidly disappearing ; the place is resuming its
wonted activity ; and, notwithstanding the unreasonable
murmurings of a few wealthy Orangeists, the prospects of
Antwerp have seldom been brighter.
By a comparative statement of the navigation
of the Sound during the eight first months of the years
1830, 1831, 1832, and 1833, published in the Gazette
du Commerce of St. Petersburgh, it appears that, with
the exception of the months of January and February, the
number of vessels which have passed this strait this year
have continued to diminish, which is attributed principally
to the inactivity in the commerce of grain. In 1830,
8,965 vessels passed the Sound ; in 1831, 10,071 ; in
1832, 9,017 ; and in 1833, 7,316.
