BRUSSELS, SEPT. 10.—The Government has received
a letter, dated from Prague! Aug. 21, by which the Em-
peror of Austria, King of Hungary and Bohemia, an-
swers to the notification made to his Imperial Majesty of
the birth of the hereditary Prince of Belgium, and felici-
tates the King of the Belgians on this event.
The Government has likewise received a letter dated
Zarich, Aug. 4, by which the federal directory of the

Helvetic Republic atnwere to the notification of the same
event.

(From the Moniteur Belge of the I Ith of September.)
The King and Queen will go to the play this evening.
We hear that a decree of the King will shortly be pub-
lished, which grants about 180 decorations to the
wounded and to the soldiers who chiefly distinguished
themselves by their courage and conduct in the campaign
of August, 1831.
A letter from Antwerp of the 9th says :—" The French
Government has just sent a sum to pay the expenses of
carriage for the service of the French Army during the
siege of the citadel. Large sums are expected to pay the
expenses of lodging at the same time. Ten ships, all
from the North S-a, arrived in the road of Antwerp
yesterday ; one of them was a Russian brig. It is con-
firmed that the Dutch are fortifying Terneuze and Hel-
voetaluys."

The Minister of War presented three projects of law
to the Chamber yesterday : the first to allow his depart-
ment a provisional credit for the last quarter of the year;
the second to authorize the Government to advance the
indemnity for the losses caused by the expedition to Ant-
werp ; and the third, to allow the Government 12,000
francs for indemnities to the officers of the volunteers.
The order of the day was the continuance of the dis-
cussion of the budget of the Foreign Department, after
which the Chamber proceeded to the budget of the Marine.
The Handelsblad of Amsterdam, of Monday the 9th
inst., in a second edition says:—" For some time past
some uncertainty has existed respecting the state of the
negociations at London on the affairs of Belgium and
Holland. We believe that we may affirm, on authentic
authority, that when the negociations had reached a
eel twin point they were suddenly stopped by the question
of Luxemburg.
The Conference required that his Majesty the King
should take the necessary steps to obtain from the Confe-
deration its consent to the cession of that part of the
Luxemburg territory which has been allotted to Belgium.
Our plenipotentiaries answered that these steps would be
taken as soon us the parties had come to an agreement
on the other points of the treaty. The Conference
thought they were already sufficiently advanced for this
purpose, and required that the King should apply to the
Diet at Frankfort, in order to obtain from it a decision on
the point in question. O❑ this the sittings were sus.
pended till the King should have taken the step required.
" Up to this moment our King has not come to any
decision on this head. As a means of conciliation, and to
anticipate this application on our part, the Diet itself, as
we I,atn, has, at the instance of Prussia and Austria, just
asked of the King some information respecting the future
fate of the part of Luxemburg in question. It is now
hoped that the King will be able, in his answer, to satisfy
the wishes of the Conference, and we flatter ourselves with
the hope that the negotiations in the Conference will be
soon removed, and lead to the solution so impatiently ex-
pected —Brussels Papers, Sept 11.
