In the sitting of the Chamber of Representatives on
the 27th, the order of the day was the discussion of M.
Zonde's motion for the importation of machinery.
M. Dumortier opposed the motion, as he thought that
it would be injurious to the Belgian manufacturer of
machinery.

M. Meeus and M. Jullien defended it, as it would
make the Belgian manufacturers acquainted with machi-
nery before unknown to them, and which would serve
them as models.

The articles of the project were successively put to
the vote and adopted.
Art. 1. The Government is authorised to grant exemp-
tion from import duties on machinery and tools.
(a.) To a!1 manufacturers who shall transfer their
establishments to Belgium.
(b•) To any Belgian or foreigner who imposts machi-
nery or tools unknown in Belgium to establish a new
branch of manufacture, or for the improvement of one
already known.

(c.) To any Belgian or foreigner who, possessing two
establishments of the same kind or depending on each
other, the one in a foreign country and the other in Bel-
gium, and who shall remove from his foreign establi,h-
ment machines or tools for the purpose of improving his
establishment in Belgium.
Exemption may also be granted for the duty on the
furniture of manufacture under sec. 1.

Art. 11. The exemption from -duty shall not be deft.
nitively granted till after the machines and tools have
begun to be employed, or till the es'ablishment transferred
has commenced operations.
Are. 111. The exceptions to be granted by virtue of
this law cannot be granted except by a Royal decree,
assigning the reasons which shall be inserted in the official.

The Journal of Numur says--" A person who arrived
here on the 24th of January from the Hague, speaks of
the distress and discontent that prevails in Holland, and
even in the capital; he affirms, that if the Government
does not change its policy, a revolution in that country is
impending."

The dintwerpenuer publishes a letter from Arnheim,
giving an account of the troubles that took place there on
the 20(h January. A broker had seized the furniture of
an unfortunate citizen, who was unable to pay his taxes.
The furniture was conveyed to the market-place, to be
sold by auction, but a tumultuous crowd assembled, and
having first hooted the broker, fell on him and compelled
him to seek safety in flight. The people were going to
carry off the furniture, to restore it to the citizen, when
the broker returned with an armed force. Every body
then withdrew, and not a single I;dder was to be found.
A similar seizure was to be made in the houses of ten
other citizens, but the failure of the first attempt has
caused the measure to be deferred.

A letter from Sithard says, that a report is in circula
tion that the King of Holland is dangerously ill.
