BRUSSELS AND GERMAN PAPERS.

Bstuaaar,a, JAN. 25.—The examination of the budgets,
by the section of the Chamber of Representatives, is ter-
minated. The central section has already begun to ex-
amine them. The efforts of the ,Minister of Justice to limit
his budget to what is absolutely necessary, are generally
praised. It seems at present, that the King's Civil List
is to be fixed at 1,200,000 florins. Our ambassador at Lon-
don wilt cost us 25,000 florins; our ambosade at Paris,
18,000 ; and we shall have, besides, several Charges d'Af-
faires, at 10,000 florins each.
The 31st of January is at hand ; and there is reason to
believe that the ratification of the treaty containing the
twenty-four articles will not be exchanged by that time.
We cannot guess to what new date this exchange will be
deferred ; but without believing that a general war will
necessarily result from these new delays, we have grounds
for thinking that they render a contest between Holland
and Belgium more probable than ever.—(The article pro-
ceeds to argue that it is much more likely that King
should in the spring take the chance of attacking
B-Igiurn than maintain a large army unemployed at a vast
I xpense, the means of doing which may in the sequel be
refused him.) Among the important docnments commu-
nicated to the Chamber of Representatives by M. de Meu-
lenaere, rekvive to the negociations, is the following, by
which the Belgian Government announced to the Confer-
ence its assent to the last treaty. _ _

APPENDIX D TO THE 52D PROTOCOL.

The undersigned Plenipotenti4ry of his Majesty the
King of the Be!glans has the honour to inform their Ex-
cellencies the Plenipotentiaries of the Five Courts, that his
Majesty has been invested with all necessary powers to sign
and conclude the treaty, in 24 articles, imposed on Bel-
gium by the Conferences of London.
The undersigned, in transmitting to their Excellencies
the Plenipotentiaries of the Five Courts, the assent of his
Majesty the King of the Belgians to the 24. articles in
question, will add that he has received from the King the
most positive orders to express to the Conference, that his
Majesty considers it his duty to declare in the most formal
manner, that his Majesty had reason to expect much more
favourable terms; and, secondly, these conditions of se-
paration would never have obtained his assent if the Con-
ference had not announced that they were final and irre-
vocable, and that the five Powers were unanimously agreed
to bring about themselves the full and entire acceptance
of them, and to use all the means in their power to
obtain the assent of Belgium. His Majesty, desiring
to spare his people all the disasters which a forced execu-
tion of those 24 articles would occasion, and unwilling
to expose Europe to a general war, yields to the im-
perious dictates of necessity, and assents to the hard and
burdensome conditions which are imposed on Belgium by
the London Conference. Nothing short of those consi-
derations, nothing less than a force which nothing can re-
sist. could have induced his Majesty to abandon the gene-
rous population of certain districts, who hailed his acces-
sion as their deliverance and support,—who, for fifteen
months, have endured all privations, and shown the most
devoted zeal to support a cause and a state, of which cruel
necessity obliges them no longer to form a part. His Ma-
emy has sacrificed his affections, and his snost incontes-
table rights, to the general peace and the happiness of the
Belgian people. The undersigned requests, &c.,

JAN. 26.—Yesoerday evening the Government de-
spatched a courier to M. Van de Weyer. It is believed
that the Govprnrnent has resolved to intervene in the ques-
tion of the fortresses, to get it decided as the French
Cabinet demi! es.

JAN. 27.—1 t is affirmed that at the last levee the King
assured several persons that there never had been so little
idea of modifying the trea'y of November. Our Ministers
st 11 seem to believe that the ratification will be exchanged
by the :31st.
GHENT, JAN. 26.—The trial of M. Steven, editor of
the Messager de Good, before the Council of War, came
on yesterday in the town-hall.
The proceedings were public, but a company of gre-
nadiers was i❑ the town-hall, and guarded the doors. M.
Steven's Counsel objected to the Court as incompetent,
and required that their client should he tried by a jury.
Ti e Court overruled this objection. The defence occu-
pied three hours. The Court, after considering one hour,
sentenced M. Steven to a year's imprisonment and pay-
ment of the costs.

M. Steven declared that he would appeal to tl e Court
of Caseation. The people seemed greatly exasperated
against him, and followed him with vociferation* when lie
left the Court. It appeared from the proceedings that
the principal articles of the 3fessager were writen by M
Ch. Fromont, formerly editor of the Sentinel, and M.
Michel de Brealmont, formerly editor of the Gazette des
Pays Bas.
The chief cause of the condemnation seems to have
been the address of Colonel Cleerens to the Belgian sol-
diets, inviting them to desert. This was considered a
military offence, and this is the reason of its being tried
by a Court-martial. The liberty of the press is no longer
restricted at Ghent, and the Messager appears again under
the name of M. Stevee. The Chamber of Representatives
ba• been engaged in a long debate on a proposal of Messrs.
Seron and R.bauix for a system of public instruction. It
has been rejected by 54 •otes to 23.

The Prussian State Gazette of the 22d has accounts
from Warsaw of the 17th, which state, according to news
from Lemberg, the subalterns and privates of the corps of
Rotnarino, Rosycki, &c., who took refuge in Gallicia, had
left it to return home en hearing of the amnesty ; those
of the corps of Dwernicki have also left Hermanetadt to
return home.—Brussels Papers, Jan. 29.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. 27.—Mustapha Pacha, of
Scutari, arrived here with his two sons on the 23d ; and
persons of rank were sent to receive him, which is a
proof of his full pardon. The Porte seems to have no
doubt of the design of the Pacha of Egypt to make him-
self independent, but instead of purchasing peace by so
great a sacrifice, it is snaking extraordinary exertions to
tarry on war with him. But Nlaliomed will probably be
suss er of Syria before a Turkish army is ready to check
him. There is a report that St. Jean d'Acre is taken, but
there is no official news of it. This report gives rise to
il. conjecture, that Alxlallab Pacha, who has long been sus-
pected of a secret understanding with the Pacha of
Egypt, has also made a show of defence. Similar trea-
chery is apprehended at Damascus, should Ibrahim Pacha
reach that rebellious city before it has received a strong
garrison.
