BRUSSELS PAPERS.

BRUSSELS, Ocr. B.—A great number of superior and
subaltern officers at Brussels received, yesterday evening,
positive orders to repair to their respective corps without
delay. Several movements of troops have taken place
yesterday and to-day. They are concentrating on
frontier near Hasselr, and have orders to oppose the
passage of any Dutch troops through our territory, and,
consequently, to hinder the change of the garrison of
Maestricht. Colonel Wilinar, of the Eng,neers, set ou,
yesterday evening in great haste from Brussels for
Hasselt. It is said Ie is commissioned to negotiate
with the Dutch Government. According to the
acc‘Aint given by a person who has opportunitie•
of being well informed, his instructions are to the effect
that the intended reLef of the garrison of Maestricht, by
fresh troops, cannot be permitted till Holland consent. on
its part to remove the impediments which it has hitherto
thrown in the way of the free navigation of the Meuse.

our countryman, who is confined in the citadel
of Nuremburg, in consequence of the disturbance whirl
took place last year in that town, and whose
case was mentioned in our Chamber. Sentence has been
finally passed on him, by which be is condemned to nit e
months' imprisonment, f• om which, however, the tin e
that he has already been in confinement is to be deducted.
At the end of his imprisonment, M. Coermans is to quit
the country, not as a punishment, but as a measure of po-
licy. The Government does not recognise him as a citiz,
of Stiembuhl near Nuremburg, affirming that the title of
citizen was not properly conferred on him.
CONSTANTINOPLE, SEPT. 10.—There is little political
news. It se ms that couriets, from Paris and London,
are expected, who ate to bring instructions to the English
and French Ambassadors, in answer to the last ternmuni•
cations to their respective Courts, which chiefly related to
the treaty between Russia and the Porte. I hope that l
shall be able to give you some particulars. Great anxtet)
is felt at Pisa, about the conference of the Sovereigns, 01
which we have just been informed by the news-
papers. For this week past the Russian Ambassador
has not sent his couriers to St. Petersburgh,
but to Vienna. We find, too, that Engiano
and France are not to be represented at these conferences.
Many persons look on that as a bad sign. The Porte
cannot but be confirmed by it in the system it has adopted,
and must attach itself more and more closely to Russia;
for if these Northern Courts are so intimately connected,
and should be obliged to break with England or France.
the geographical position of. Turkey would compel it tt•
join those Courts, and to decline in alliance with the mari-
time potters, which must lead to its total destruction.
Yet the policy of France and England seems to take
especial pains to inspire the Porte with distrust of Russia
and to detach it from the policy of Russia. This wilt
hardly succeed ; because, independently of the above
considerations, the Divan, whatever differences of opinion
may prevail in it, has become sufficiently acquainted with
the decided character of the Russian Cabinet, as well a•
with its frank and disinterested policy, not to premiss
that it would be not only highly ungrateful but hazardous
to oppose Russia, or even to appear indifferent. A great
deal may be said to the disadvantage of the Turks, hu
they are tru, to their word, and ingratitude is•no part 0,

the last week a very great
number of Greeks, and, within these two (Lys, many
Polish purchasets, have appeared at our fair, and they, as
well as the Germans, show uncommon eagerness to make
purchases, and a very great demand for goods is the con-
sequence. Very extensive purchases have already been
made of cotton, woollen, and especially of silk goods, not-
wi,hstanding the considerable rise in the prices of those
articles. The rise in silk and wool continues, and of the
first article, notwithstanding a rise of 40 per cent., which
extends even to sewing silk, scarcely any thing can be had
in Italy fur money, as, according to general and well authen-
ticated accounts, three.fourths of the silk this year is
gone to France, England, and Germany; so that a further
rise and scarcity of goods is probable —Frankfort Papers,

PROGRESS OF POPULATION IN THE

UNITED STATES.

The followinz history of Detroit, United States,
an I of the territory of Michigan, of which it is the
c.tpital, is extracted from the Detroit Journal of the
2lst of August :

" TWENTY YEARS AGO.—On the 16th of Au-
eust, 1812, or just- 20 years ago last Friday, took
place the capitulation of General Hull, and the stir-
render of Detroit to the British. Ar that time
there was no road connecting this territory with
any portion of the United Sates, excepting that
then recently cut by General Hull, for the passage
of his army. With the exception of a few small
settlements at the mouths of the streams, the whole
of Michigan was a wilderness; and, from the
descriptions given in the ancient maps, was supposed
to be a morass, so drowned with water as to be
uninhabitable. This erroneous impression was de-
iived„ probably, from the statements of the fur
traders, who, although they must have known
better, found it their interest to inculcate this belief,
for the purpose of preserving undisturbed posse•sioa
of the gainful traffic which they had long maintained
with the Indians. The extensive country now com-
posing a populous district of Ohio, noith and
north-west of Cleveland, in Cuyahoga county, and
Mansfield, in Richmond county, was a wilderness.
The road from the rapids of Maumee to Lowtr
Sandusky was an Indian trail, which was rarely tre-
veiled. It had such a winding and zigzag course, ft X
the purpose of avoiding fallen trees and gullies or
yeaus, in which water collected, that it was difficult,
even in a dry time, to trace it; and in wet weather,
when from the lioness of the land it was covered
with water, and exhibited the appearance of a vast
lake, the traveller could only pursue the path by the
indistinct traces of the ancient blazes on the trees.
The whole extent of this district being covered with
a heavy growth of timber, much of it of blue ash
and cotton wood, filled up with underwood of alder
and spice wood, and having an unusually dark and
sombre appearance, and the soil being of vegetable
decomposition, black, spongy, and porous, rendered
the name of the Black Swamp a roost fit and appro-
priate designation. Till after the late war, the in-
tercourse between Michigan and the other portions
of the Union was very lenited; and the arrival of a

This was
long before the era of steam-boats. The few sailing
vessels then on these waters were supposed to have
done well if they made a trip from Detroit to the
foot of the lake in the time that is now required
for our packets to make the trip from New York to
Liverpool. The steam-boat lra/k in-the-Irater was
built in the year 1819, and about that period the
first attempts were made to penetrate the interior of
the countty by the inhabitants of Detroit. The first
settlement formed in the interior was by a few families
;elm had moved into the territory from Upper
Canada, and ascended what was then called the
Upper Huron now the Clinton, some ten or fifteen
miles from its mouth. They settled on an oak open-
ing, and raised flue crops of wheat. They had been
there a year or more before it was generally known
in Detroit, and the fact was regarded as a remark-
able instance of enterprise and hardihood. The neat
settlement formed was at Pontiac and its neighbour-
hood. From this period the tide of emigration has
steadily increased from year to year. The inhale:-
taros of Detroit, with a public spirit highly to their
credit, exploted the country, and caused reports of
its advantages to be published in the eastern papers.
Fcr some time it appeared up-hill work ; many
visited the country, who from a slight and partial
view of it, or from ignorance or prejudice, returned
with unfavourable reports, which, to some extent,
retarded for a time its settlement ; and after
the ravages of a malignant epidemic, which for
several years afflicted Detroit and its neighbour hood,
induced a wide-spread report that the country wee;
unhealthy. The inhabitants of Detroit, a zeal
that cannot be too highly commended, am: a forecast
which was to be expected from a conatreinil which
for intelligence is rarely 'quailed, strnggled to re-
move these unfavourable impressions. They took
upon themselves the labour and expense of artino
as pilots mid pioneers to emigrants, and assisted
them with information, advice, and often with
money and other facilities. We could name tunny
of the old citizens of Detroit, who were di,-
Vnguished for their zealous efforts in this way.
Ole who should now visit the interior and In-hold
a rich and populous country, who should behold
the steam-boats and stages filled with emigrants,
crowding into the country and pushing on to the
very shores of Lake Michigan, could hardly realize
the care and pulsing expended on the sickly arid
tender plant which has now become a tree whose
branches overshadow the land. The language of
our motto, Tandem fit 8111.0u/us arbor, though
adopted long beture out prosperous and palmy state,
seems like the prophetic truth of inspiranore .‘lichi-
ean may be truly said to b rn the very
of her prospenty. It is believed there has been,
wi:hin the present seas( n, an increa•e of poptilation
from abroad of near 10,000, be-ides the natnial
increase. The quantity of produce, and particu-
larly of wheat, raised this season, is said to have
exceeded to a large extent that of any former year.
Health, that highest b essing, without which all else
is valueless, has been enjoyed to 11 degree that coils
for our special gratitude. Happy Michigan, these
are the auspices which snide on her coming induc-
tion into the communion awl sisterhood of the
Union. May no malignant star blight this fair pre-

THE NEW JURY ACT IN INDIA.--Sir
Henry Compton, in addressing the Grand Jury assembled,
in the Supreme Court at Bombay, in Match last, directed
their attention to the alteration which had been made with%
regard to the constitution of Juries. lle observed,, that a
rule of Court, which was framed according tea the law as
it formerly stood, had that day been formally altered, and
henceforth the Grand Juries, aDd Juries fur the trial of
ersons professing the Christian religion, would consist of
Natives as well as Enrol:leans, and of other Christians. As
it had pleased the Legislature to remove the distinction
which bet long existed, he congratufate4 the native poixita-
tian of the island on a measure of such importance to them
to participate in all the. privileges enjoyed by hit
