BRUSSELS PAPERS.

BRUSSELS, Nov. 16.—The British House of Commons
has sent to the Chamber of Representatives a collection
of the Journals of the House of Commons, from 1517 to
1723, Reports of Committees, &c., in 112 vols. in folio,
and 40 in quarto. All the vols. are richly bound in russia,
and gilt. Six months ago a similar present of documents
of a late date was received. A collection of all the
Acts of our ancient States-General, of the Congress and
the Chamber of Representatives, will be sent in return to
the House of Commons.

In the sitting of the Chamber of Representatives, on
the 15th, the Minister of Finance, on presenting the budget
of the Ways and Means, observed, that the estimates of
the expenditure laid before the Chamber at the close of the
last session, amounted to 87,622,112 francs. He at the
same time stated that he had found means, without injury
to the public service, to reduce the expenditure three
millions ; so that it will amount to only 84 millions.
A report on the possibility of an advantageous con-
nexion with Spain for the sale of our manufactures
will be shortly presented to the Chamber of Representa-
tives by M. Kaufman. His Secretary, M. Constantine,
who has lately returned from Madrid, is to draw up part of
the report. It seems that the linens of Flanders are much
esteemed in Spain.
~We learn that a petition is now preparing, in which the
merchants of Brussels and other cities, who trade in foreign
cotton manufactures, intend to combat not only the esta-
blishment of a prohibition which is solicited by the manu-
facturers of Ghent, but even any augmentation of the pre-
sent import duty. They even hope to convince the Legis-
lature, that in many respects a reduction has become neces-
sary. Though it is necessary to collect a great massiof
information, this petition will be shortly presented to the
Chamber of Representatives.

" It is reported (says the Journal of Limburg) that the
unhappy town of Maestricht will be shortly relieved from
the state of siege in which it has remained for four suc-
cessive years. It is even added that General Goedecke has
instruction to go in person to Maestricht for that purpose."
BRUSSELS, Nov. 18.—In the Sitting of the Chamber of
Representatives yesterday, the King's answer to the Ad-
dress was read. It was as follows :

" Gentlemen, I approve of the sentiments which animate
the Chamber of Representatives, its devotedness to the in-
terest of the country is known to me. lam happy to learn,
that it will continue to co-operate with my Government in the
fulfilment of the duties which are invosed on us.
" I congratulate myself every day- more and more to see
such perfect harmony prevail between all the powers of the
State.

" I am convinced, Gentlemen, that the Chamber of Repre-
sentatives will enter with zeal on the examination of the im-
portant questions which will have to be discussed in the course
of this Session. There are some which it is necessary to
hasten as much as possible, and which the public is impatient
to see finally settled. _ _

" I am persuaded, Gentlemen, that the wish of the country
will not be disappointed, and that your zeal will answer its
expectations."

On the motion of M. Legrelle, this answer was ordered
to be printed.
In the course of the sitting, M. Gendebien said,—" I
desire to speak on a point of importance. Since this
morning a strange report has been circulated in the city,
which is calculated to alarm the whole country. I desire
that the Minister for Foreign Affairs may tell us if he has
received any communication on this affair—l mean the dis-
missal of the whole of the present Ministry ; and it is said
that the Duke of Wellington has been commissioned to
form a new Ministry. The fact, if true, is of the highest
importance."
The Minister for Foreign Affairs said, " I answer, that
in fact I have received information that the actual Ministry
in England has just. been dissolved ; but I can say nothing
of the commission said to have been given to an illustrious
personage to form a new Ministry. I have heard only re-
ports on this point, and they are very vague."
Here the subject dropped.

FRONTIERS OF SERVIA, Nov, I.—The Constantinople
mail of the 21st has arrived. Entire tranquillity prevailed
there, and it was hoped that the Sultan would come to an
understanding with Mehemet Ali. Trade was becoming
more brisk, and large orders for Colonial produce and ma-
nufactured goods had been given, which proves that the
continuance of peace was depended upon. The Turkish
fleet had again anchored in the port, and only two men-of-
war were ordered to the Dardanelles.

Recruits were daily sent to the army in Asia, and. the
organization of the new militia was proceeding rapidly.—

BAYONNE, Nov. 13.

Here is another version of the affair at Sesma :

" A serious engagement has taken place near Sesma, on
the banks of the Ebro. The Carlists rushed upon the
Christinos, who were protected by a battery of flying artil-
lery, put them to flight, and remained masters of the field.
Their loss, however, was immense, whilst. that of the Queen's
troops did not exceed twenty killed and wounded. Intelli-
gence of this rout no sooner reached Olite than the Com-
mander, Gourrea, made a forced march to relieve Colonel
Figueras, who commanded the defeated column. Their
united forces attacked the Carlists in their turn with so
much impetuosity that they gave way, leaving the field
strewed with dead and wounded."

Two hundred and thirty wounded Carlists, belonging to
the faction of Navarre, among whom were three captains
and seven other officers, arrived on the 9th, in the valley of
Salazar, and in the villages of Ochagavia and Izalzu.
Don Francisco Maria Gorostiguy, of the province of
Guipuzcoa, and a Canon of Santiago, has placed himself at
the head of 800 Carlists, in Galicia.

According to advices received this evening, the sth, 6th,
7th and 9th battalions of Navarre arrived in the evening
of the 11th in the vicinity of Elisondo, to attack the gar-
rison of the place. They are said to have two pieces of
artillery.

It is positive that Mina has ordered that Sanestlevan
should be fortified, and garrisoned with 500 men.
Between the 7th and 10th, 280 young men of the Ri-
bera repaired to Tudela, and offered to take service in the
army of Mina, who has since directed that they should be
formed into a battalion, called the 2d battalion of Guides.
On the 9th, the Carlists arrested, at Vera, a French
tinker, on whom they found despatches from Mina to the
Governor of St. Sebastian, and immediately shot him.
It is stated that on the 10th the garrison of Escharri
Aranaz was taken prisoners. This report, however, re...
quires confirmation.
General Cordova's column arrived on the same day at
Tafalla, to act in concert with those of Lorenzo and Lopez,
who occupied Miranda and Puente la Reyna.
General Caratala is appointed Under-Chief of Mina's
staff.

Zumalacarreguy is now organising a battalion of Arago-
nese and Navarrese, who are to proceed with some cavalry
to Aragon, over the mountains of Moncava.
General Mina complains greatly of Lorenzo and Oraa.
He states that the Government pays for the support of
23,000 men, and that, from what he can ascertain, the force
of the army is far from amounting to that number.
Mina has sent agents to purchase horses in Bayonne, for
the use of the army.

Four hundred great coats crossed the frontiers on the
ith. They were intended for the cerliet4,
