BRUSSELS PAPERS.

BRUSSELS, JULY 17.—Yesterday the Senate heard several
reports of the committees on the projects of law sent from the
Chamber of Representatives.
The day before yesterday, M. Gendebien was for a time
thought to be in great danger. His health has since very
much improved, and his friends are now quite easy on this
account. General Gerard, who was summoned as a witness
on the part of the prosecution against the rioters, has sent an
excuse, founded on certificates of Dr. Lebeau, brother of the
Minister, attesting that he cannot attend, being afflicted with
the rheumatism.
JULY 18.—Yesterday evening their Majesties had a draw-
ing-room at the Palace of Laecken. A great part of the
members of both Chambers attended.
Yesterday the Senate heard the report made by the Count
D'Aerschot on the law relative to factious instigation on the
part of the Orangists. The report proposes the adoption of
the law.

The Independent says—" We learn that the negotiations
opened at Bieberich to obtain the consent of the collaterals of
the House of Nassau to the cession of part of Luxemburg
have led to a result. "Ye are assured that an arrangement has
bean signed by the Plenipotentiary of the King of Holland, as
Grand Duke, and by the Plenipotentiary of the Duke of
Nassau Bieberich, under the mediation of Austria and Prussia,
and that the arrangement has been sent to King William for
his approval."
A Royal Decree inserted in the Illgniteur authorizes a
general collection throughout the kingdom for the benefit of
the inhabitants of Limburg who have been reduced to indi-
gence by the disastrous fire which took place in June last.

CHAMBER OF REPRESENTATIVES, JULY 16
The Chamber resumed the debate on the Corn Law.
The question whether a maximum and a minimum price
should be adopted occupied the Chamber for two hours with-
out producing any new argument. On being put to the vote,

it was decided in favour of the system of a maximum and
minimum by a majority of 45 to 26.
JULY 17.-At the commencement of the sitting the Chamber
resolved that it would go in a body to the Te Deum which is
to be performed on Monday next, in commemoration of the
third anniversary of the inauguration of the King.
The Chamber then resumed the debate on the corn law.

The Chamber agreed to art. 1 of the tariff; viz., Wheat
per 1,000 kilogrammes, import duty 37f. 55c., export 25
cents, transit if. 50c.
The discussion of the maximum and minimum prices at which
exportation and importation shall be prohibited, was put off till
the next sitting.
The trial of the rioters at Brussels has commenced before
the Court of Assizes at Mons. The examination of the ac-
cused was concluded on the 17th, but no important fact was
disclosed by it. They agree in denying the acts of which they
are accused, and many of them contradict their first deposi-
tions. They were in general encouraged by the presence of
the troops, who remained inactive spectators. The examina-
tion of the witnesses for the prosecution followed, of whom 13
have already been called. Four of them, employed in the
printing-office of M. Crickx, testify to the composition and
printing of the pamphlet, the manuscript of which they were
desired to give back, to suffer nobody to approach the press,
and to be as expeditious as possible. Other witnesses gave
evidence to the distribution of the pamphlet.

COBLENTZ, July 13.---A letter from Cologne informs us
that the Rhenish Steam Navigation Company has resolved to
employ a large sum of the surplus of the last year's dividend
in purchasing shares in the iron railroad from Antwerp to the
Rhine. From another quarter we learn that arrangements
will shortly be made for an iron railroad from Amsterdam to
Frankfort, not, as was at first projected, only to Cologne.
We expect further accounts. The steam navigation on the
Rhine will probably be extended this month to Strasburg.—
