BRUSSELS PAPERS.

BRUSSELS, AUGUST 3. Arrangements are already
making in the church of St. Gudule for the ceremony of
the baptism, which is fixed for the Bth inst.
Among the modifications of the Ministerial project
on the extradition of foreigners, which have been proposed
by the Central Section, are, as we hear, the following :
The Section rejects some of the cases in which foreigners
are to be given up,—for instance, that of military deser-
tion. It will not have a simple warrant to he a sufficient
ground for extradition, as the Minister proposes ; a sen-
tence will be required. Lastly, the Central Section will
not have the law come into operation till ten days after the
insertion in the official bulletin of the treaty by which a
neighbouring Government shall engage to adopt a system
of reciprocity.
Four French commercial travellers, who intended to
go to Holland on the business of their tours, returned yes-
terday. On their arrival at Bergen-op-Zoom their pass-
ports were taken from them, and they had to wait a week
till they came back from the Hague. At length they
were returned, and they were told that their passports
ought to have been signed by the Dutch Ambassador
at Paris.

AUGUST 4.—A person who has just arrived from
London gives us the following particulars relative to the
Conference. Messrs. Van de Weyer and Goblet tran-
sacted business on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, at
the Foreign Office, with the representatives of the five
Powers. It was affirmed that they had got as far as the
18th article of the treaty of the 15th of November. As
the English Ministers were obliged to be in the House of
Lords during the debate on the Bill relative to the Church
of Ireland, the meetings of the Conference were adjourned
till Monday next.

The Chamber of Commerce and manufactures of
Louvain intorma the merchants and manufacturers of that
arrondissement that the Minister of the Interior has ad-
dressed to it several questions concerning the modifications
to be made in the French and Belgian tariffs of customs

for the promotion of the commerce of the two countries,
in order to facilitate the labours of the Commissioners,
who will go to Paris and negotiate with the French Go-
vernment. In consequence, the Chamber invites those
nista interested in the matter to send to it as soon as possi-
ble their observations on the following questions :--
" L What are the branches of manufacture the interest
of which requires modification in the tariffs of Belgium
or France ?
"2. In what should those modifications consist ?
" 3. The reasons which render them necessary.
" f. The advantages which would result from them to

the Belgian or French consumers.
"5. A comparison of the prices of the raw mate s,
of labour, of carriage, and the prices of manufactured
articles at the places where they are produced, and where
they are consumed, as well in Belgium as in France.
6. To indicate whether the articles have to contend
with a competition foreign to the two countries, and what
are the causes and effects of it."
All the members of Commerce in Belgium have re-
ceived from the Minister of the Interior, and have trans-
, mitted to the manufacturers of their districts, the same

application for information as contained in the preceding
circular. .

The •Minister published a Royal ordinance, fixing the
salaries of diplomatic agents when they shall cease to be
employed
" 1. In consequence of the suppression of their em.

ployment.
" 2. In consequence of the temporary suppression of
the mission to which they were attached."
The health of the Queen and the young Prince being
perfectly satisfactory, no bulletins have been published
since the 2d of August.

Kalessi. Those points of the Asiatic coast which might be
the most exposed to attacks by Mehemed Ali were also to
he put in a state of defence with the assistance of the Rus-
sians. To protect the Sultan against internal enemies,
the accesses to the capital are to be fortified, and Constan-
tinople will be surrounded with citadels."—Brussels
