BRUSSELS PAPERS.

CHAMBER OF REPRESENTATIVES, MAY 7.

After the King had delivered his speech, and retired,
M. Pirson took the President's chair, and spoke as fol-
lows:

" Gentlemen, —At the opening of the last session
my age called me to the honour of presiding for the mo-
ment in the Chamber of Representatives. The great and
numerous legislative labours which all had before their
eyes, authorized me to recommend to my citizens assi-
duity, and especially the avoiding of all useless
discussions, which could only cause a waste of time.
We now come when every thing that was began
has had to be abandoned. We come strong in
the support of public opinion, which has defeated
an infamous conspiracy. No ; Belgium will never
have une chambre introuvable. If any of us shoul.l
attempt to recriminate, we should have endless discus-
sions, without advantage to the country, which has
already pronounced its judgment.
"Let us revenge ourselves by making good laws; let the
sovereign contempt complete the shame of all those who
would divide the Belgians. A wise tolerance for all
frank and honourable opinions will save the country.
Union makes our strength.

" The King has used his prerogative according to the
councils of his Ministers ; perhaps he will use it accord-
ing to those of the country.
" A' all events, let us take care to do and say nothing
that may do violence to it, for then we should no longer
have a Government—we should be iu a state of a archy.
Which of us would profit by that?
" In all the sincerity of our souls let us say, ' God save
the King and our country.'"
Six Committees were then appointed to try the validity
of the elections.

FRANKFORT, JUNE s.—The Spire Gazette, of yes-
terday, contradicts what was said about the resignation of
the magistrates of Neustadt. The Mayor. the Adjunct,
and the Secretary, continue to exercise their functions as
before the disturbances on the 27th. This fact alone re-
futes the assertion that the police was in the hands of the
military. An inquiry is making into the circum-
stances of those deplorable events. "It might be
suppos.d," says the Spire Gazette, " from the
letter from Neustadt, in our 109th No., that the mi-
litary had, without reason or inducement, ill-treated every
body they found in the streets; but the cause that led to
these scenes was evident enough in the insults which the
military had suffered the whole day, and the abuse which
was heaped on the patrols who paraded the streets in the
evening to preserve order. A journeyman mechanic was
killed, and a number of persons, not yet ascertained, were
wounded. Only an error caused the adjunct to be slightly
wounded. The statement that women were wounded is
as false as that the civil authorities bad resigned. We
regret that the 27th of May, which, as far as we
hear, passed over quietly in the whole circle, should have
been accompanied with such melancholy results at Neu-
stadt. It may be observed that from time immemorial
there has been an assembly at the Castle of Hambach
every year on Whit Monday; the coincidence of this holy-
day, with the anniversary of the fete of the year 1832,
was quite accidental.—Frankfort Papers, June 5.
