BRUSSELS PAPERS.

Nov. 30.—The Minister of the Interior has just in-
formed the governors of the provinces that the funds allotted
to the budget of his department in 1831, for the relief of
the most unfortunate of the victims of the war, being ex-
hausted, it is impossible for him at this moment to comply
with applications of that kind, and that persons claiming in-
demnities for the losses which they have sustained in conse-
quence of the events of the revolution, must wait for the
decision of the legislature on the project of law on the sub-
ject, which has been presented to the Chamber of Repre-
sentatives by his predecessor.
In the sitting of the Chamber of Representatives yester-
day, the debate on the commercial law being the order of
the day, the following article, proposed by the Minister of
the Interior, was read :

" The police of the theatres belongs to the burgomaster
and the aldermen (Echerrins). They take care that no
theatrical performance shall take place that is contrary to
morals and public order. They may even, on extraordinary
occasions, prohibit any performance, to preserve public
.rder."

M. Jullien and M. Gendebien spoke with some vehe-
mence against the proposed article, declaring it to be un-
constitutional, a violation of the rights of literary property,
a re-establishment of the censorship, &c.
The Minister of Justice and M. Feber de Merode de-
fended the article.

M. A. Rodenbach thought it would be better that the
superintendance of the theatres should be under the Mu-
nicipal Authorities than under the Government Police ; the
proposal he thought would introduce an improvement in the
legislation. It is fitting, said he, that there should be a
preventive measure which may hinder the performance of
immoral pieces, the subjects of which are incest and adul-
tery ; the Revue Britannique, which assuredly is not edited
by men of ordinary knowledge, stigmatises such obscenities.
After some discussion the article was adopted by a ma-
jority of 45 to 15.
BRUSSELS, DEC. I.—The Courrier Beige says :—" We
can affirm, as having heard it from the most respectable
authority, and without there being any possibility of contra-
dicting us with good ground, that the first act of Foreign
policy of the Duke of Wellington after taking the oaths
as Minister, was a note sent by a Carlist messenger to the
King of Holland, to inform him that the formal intention
of the new English Cabinet, was to make no change in the
line of Foreign policy adopted by the preceding Ministry.
We can also affirm that a note of the same tenor has been
sent to Paris, Madrid, Frankfort, Berlin, Vienna, and
Constantinople."
M. de Broke (the Engineer) has completed the survey
of the ground at Ostend, on which a pavillion is to be built
at the King's expense, where their Majesties will pass w-mo
time during the bathing season.

Forage is so scarce in France that the arflrf contractors
have made large purchases at high prises, in the neigh-
bouring countries. Almost all tk-e forage for the cavalry
and field artillery in the 16 ifiitary divisions (head-quarters
Lille), has becp
has capsca a, l'ull'/'"ased in Flanders and Hainault, which
'feat rise in the prices there, so that it has
Leto aNnssary to calla Council of Ministers to authorize
C-
I,eneral Evan, in contracting for the forage for our army,
to accept the lowest terms offered, which exceeded the sum
that had been fixed, and will require an augmentation of the
budget of the War Department.
The Chamber has come to article 104 of the Commer-
cial Law.
