BRUSSELS, Nov. 24.—A Royal Ordinance ap-
points a Commissioner to examine the silks of the
produce of Belgium, and also the silk goods ma
areni-
factured and printed in the country, whih n
the exhibition now open at Brussels. They are to
make a repo, t of their judgment on the quality of
each of their prodoction9, and to make proposals for
the distribution of medals, and, if called for, other
encouragements, which it may think proper to pre-
sent to the producers and manufacturers.
Colonel Druez, of the Staff, received orders yes-
terday evening to set out fur Zondhoven. He is
instructed to superintend the execution of the
Con-
vention of Zondhoven, the ratifications of which will
be exchanged in a day or two. He was to leave
Brussels this morning.
The journeymen tailors of Nlons have followed
the example of those of Paris, Lyons, Bordeaux,
&c. They refuse to work unless their wages are
raised. This combination seems to be fermented
by strangers.
The Journal of Namur affirms that Mr. Coghen
will certainly rake the post of Minister of Finance.
BRUSSELS, Nov. 25.—Their Majesties will return
to-day to reside in the Palace.
Her Royal Highness Madame Adelaide is ex-
pected at Brussels to-morrow.
M. Lehon, Ambassador at Paris, has obtained
leave of absence for ten days to come to Belgium
on his private business.
The Journal de la Belgique gives the names of
nearly forty manufacturers of cottons who express
their assent to the letters of the manufacturers of
Ghent and Courtray, relative to the difficulty of
continuing to work during the winter, unless more
favourable circumstances should arise.
It is said that the manufacturers of Ghent have
addressed a memorial to the Government, in which
they say that in asking protection for their manu-
factures their chief object was to invite the Govern-
ment to secure to them the same consumption, by
hindering the great importation of foreign goods.
They ask for their protection that the Custom-
house officers shall be more vigilant to prevent the
scandalous smuggling carried on upon the frontiers.
