BRUSSELS AND GERMAN PAPERS.

BRUSSELS, OCT. 12.—The King had returned to
Laeken yesterday evening at 8 o'clock.
The Chevalier d'Almeide, charge d'affaires of Portugal
to our Court, notified to their Majesties the day before yes-
terday the death of His Imperial Majesty Don Pedro,
Duke of Braganza.

The Portuguese Legation is in the deepest mourning ;
the Hotel of the Legation has been wholly closed since
Thursday, when the news was received of the loss which
Portugal had just sustained.
The Government has received the notification of the
Royal Decree, dated the 18th of September last, by which
the Queen Regent of Spain declares the coasts of the north
of the kingdom in a state of blockade. M. de Lalaing is
to set out for Madrid very shortly.
It is stated that Messrs. Lalrousse and Bethune have
received permission to reside at Brussels.
The Marquis of Lansdowne and suite arrived at Brus-
sels yesterday morning.
A letter from Courtray of the 9th says,—" For this last
fortnight the English have been running about the coun-
try,going to the meaner peasants, and buying up all the flax,
as soon as it is dressed ; then come the French, among whom
the crop has almost wholly failed. I fear for our poor pea-
sants ; if this goes on for a few weeks, they will have no
flax to weave, which is their only resource for a whole winter.
The following resolutions, relative to the recruiting of the
army, has just been issued from the War Office :
" LEOPOLD, &c.

" Considering that in the situation in which the country now
is, the men belonging to the National Militia, who have com-
pleted their five years' service, cannot be discharged.
" Considering also, that in this state of things, the voluntary
recruiting of the army is considerably restricted (seeing that it
is in a great degree supported by the men who are liberated
from their service in the militia, that the privation of this re-
source may have consequences prejudicial to the welfare of the
army, by depriving the corps of the means of filling up the
vacancies which occur.

" Considering, besides, that among the men belonging to
the militia who have served for five years, there are many who
are inclined to contract voluntary engagements, and that it is
for the interest of the army to take a measure to favour such
engagements, by granting to the mili-tiamen who contract
them the same advantages as are enjoyed by the voluntary
recruits.

" On the proposal, &c., We have decreed and decree, Act.
1, Articles 6 and 9, of our decree of the 30th December,
1832, are rendered applicable to the men belonging to the
National Militia, who having served during five years, have
voluntarily enlisted in the army since the Ist of January this
year, or who shall so enlist in future.

" Art. 2. Our Minister, &c.
(Signed) "LEOPOLD.
"The Minister of War, EVAIN."
3 Brussels, Ist October, 1834."

The camp at Diest is raised. The head-quarters of
General Magnan will be at Liege.
One of General Magnan's Aids-de-Camp has just, died

In consequence of the arrival of higher quotations from
Paris, the Spanish funds experienced a considerable im-
provement yesterday.
Yesterday evening at Lloyds the Perpetuelles were at
48 I. Cortes, 46 it. Coupons, 24.—Brussels Papers,
Oct. 18.

FRANKFORT.—It is said that the German Diet, in the Sit-
ting of the 18th Sept., discussed, among other things, the
answer to be given to the English and French ambassadors to
their notes respecting the placing our troops of the line under
the orders of the commander of the troops of the Confedera-
tion. It is affirmed that the President, in a very energetic
speech, showed the necessity of repressing the presumption on
which those notes were founded ; the Governments of France
and England having on this occasion attempted to assert rights
which no independent state that valued its honour could
grant to another; that such mistakes could be explained
only by total ignorance of the laws of the Confederation,
and the most incomprehensible confounding of the plainest
ideas. The concluding proposal is said to have been, that
it would be wholly unworthy of the Confederation to enter
into a defence of the measures in question towards Foreign
Powers ; the only thing to be done was calmly to protest
against the theory that the having concurred in signing the
act of the Vienna Congress gave foreign powers a right to
interfere in the internal affairs of the German Confedera-
tion ; to declare this by a formal resolution of the Diet once
for all, and thereby enable the President on all future oc-
casions to proceed at once in the most suitable manner.
We are informed that this proposal was unanimously
adopted, and the resolution, with the detail of the grounds
on which it was founded, presented to the two Legations
by way of answer. Nothing is yet known of the sensation
which this energetic (and in the opinion of the most com-
petent judges) highly appropriate conduct of the Diet, has
produced on the representatives of the Great Powers con-
cerned.
