FRANCE.

The Moniteur contains a decree relating to the
supply to be kept in reserve by the bakers.
The principal article obliges all the bakers in
the towns mentioned in the appendix to the decree
to lay in a stock equivalent to their manufacture of
bread during at least three months. The second
article confers the duty of determining—after con-
sultation with the Municipal Administrations—

1. In what periods of time the reserves ought to
be collected ;

2. Whether they shall be in grain or flour, or
both conjointly.

BELGIUM.

A somewhat serious incident occurred in the sit-
ting of the Belgian Chamber of Representatives on
the 16th inst., on the discussion of the project of an
Address to the King. At the commencement of the
sitting Count de Theux rose and declared that the
project of the Address was not drawn up in the usual
style of such documents ; that it,contained insinua-
tions insulting to the minority and a personal provo-
cation against himself; he was, therefore, charged by
his political friends to declare that the Opposition
was resolved to abstain from the discussion. After
making this declaration, M. de Theux and a great
number of members of the Right left the Clamber.
The debate was resumed and the ensemble of the
project voted by a majority of 53 votes against 9.
On the names of members being drawn to present
the Address to the King, that of M. de Theux was
among the number.

The Address has meantime been presented, and a
gracious reply received from the King.

FILL4BUSTERING.

The President of the United States has issued
he following proclamation :
" Whereas, information has reached me, from
sources which I cannot disregard, that certain
persons, in violation of the neutrality laws of the
United States, are making a third attempt to set on
foot a military expedition within their territory
against Nicaragua, a foreign State with which
they are at peace.
"In order to raise money for equipping and
maintaining this expedition, persons connected
therewith, as I have reason to believe, have issued
and sold bonds and other contracts, pledging the
public lands of Nicaragua and the transit route
through its territory as a security for their redcmp
tion and fulfilment.
" The hostile design of this expedition is ren-
dered manifest by the fact that these bonds and
contracts can be of no possible value to their
holders unless the present Government of Nicaragua
shall be overthrown. Besides, the Envoy Extra-
ordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of that
Government in the United States has is,ued a
notice, in pursuance of his instructions, dated the
27th inst., forbidding the citizens or subjects of
any nation, except passengers intending to proceed
through Nicaragua over the transit route from
ocean to [ocean, to enter its territory without a
regular passport, signed by the proper Minister or
Consul-General of the republic resident in the
country whence they shall have departed ; such
persons, with this exception, will be stopped and
compelled to return by the
,same conveyance that
took them to the country.
" From the circumstances the inference is irre-
sistiblethat persons engaged in this expedition will
leave the United States with hostile purposes
against Nicaragua. They cannot, under the guise
which they have assumed, that they are peaceful
emigrants, conceal their real intentions, especially
when they know in advance that their landing
will be resisted, and can only be accomplished by
an overpowering force. This expedient was suc-
cessfully resorted to previous to the last expedition,
and the vessel in which those composing it were
conveyed to Nicaragua obtained a clearance from
the collector of the port at Mobile. Although,
after a careful examination, no arms or munitions
of war were discovered on board, yet when they
arrived in Nicaragua they were found to be armed
and equipped, and immediately commenced hos
tilitics.

" The leaders of the former illegal expeditions of
the same character have openly expressed their in-
tention to renew hostilities against Nicaragua.
One of them, who has already been twice expelled
from Nicaragua, has invited, through the public
newspapers, American citizens to emigrate to that
republic, and has designated Mobile as the place
of rendezvous and the Juan del Norte as the port
to which they are bound. This person, who has
renounced his allegiance to the United States, and
claims to be President of Nicaragua, has given
notice to the collector of the port of qobile that
200 or 300 of those emigrants will be prepared to
embark from the port about the middle of Novem-
ber. _ _

" For these and other good reasons, and for
the purpose of saving American citizens who
may have been honestly deluded into the be-
lief that they are about to proceed to Nicara-
gua as peaceful emigrants, if any so there be,
from the disastrous consequences to which they
will be exposed, I, James Buchanan, President of
the United States, have thought it fit to issue this
my proclamation, enjoining upon all officers of the
Government, civil and military, in their respective
spheres, to be vigilant, active, and faithful in sup-
pressing these illegal enterprises, and in carrying
out their standing instructions to this effect, and
exhorting all good citizens, by their respect for the
laws, and their regard for the peace and welfare of
the country, to aid the efforts of the public autho-
rities in the discharge of their duties.
"In testimony whereof I have hereunto set
my hand, and caused the seal of the United States
to be affixed, by these presents.
Done at the city of Washington this 30th day of
October, 1858, and of the independence of the
United States the 83d. " JAMES BUCHANAN.

" By the President. .
" LEWIS CASS, Secretary of State.
