strong, or that will be satisfactory to the nation.

The Times has received the following Express from
Brussels :

BRUSSELS, APRIL 9, HALF-PAST 10 P.M.
This evening, at a quarter after 10, the Queen of the
Belgians was delivered of a male child. This event was
quite unexpected. It was not expected to have taken place
before the end of the month. The Queen of the French
was to be in Brussels only on the 15th of April.
The delivery has been a most happy one. Both the
Queen and the child are doing well.
The following bulletin has been sent to all the papers for
publication to-morrow :

" The Queen was delivered of a Prince at a quarter
after 10.

" Her Majesty and the newly-born Prince are doing
quite well. The labour was short and most satisfactory.
(Signed) " Dr. SCHONLEIN.

We insert to-day from the Report of the Commis-
sioners on Municipal Corporations in England and
Wales a general account of the present state of those
Corporations. It will be found interesting not only as
a statistical document, but as a sketch of the municipal
history of England and Wales. Our next extract will
commence the most important part of the Report—the
defects and abuses which the Commissioners discovered
in the administration of municipal affairs ; and we
shall avail ourselves of the room arising from the ab-
sence of Parliamentary business to publish all the inte-
resting parts of the Report.

We have just received intelligence from Bayonne,
stating that General MINA is dangerously ill. Letters of
the sth inst.. previously received, represent him as con-
valescent, so that the attack must have been extremely
sudden. The QUEEN'S troops suffered some repulses
in Navarre on the 30th and 31st ult., the particulars
of which have already appeared, with some remarks on

their probable incorrectness. In these skirmishes the
killed and wounded on both sides are said to exceed
1,600 men, of whom nearly two-thirds were Royalists.

The Paris papers of Thursday, and the evening
papers dated yesterday, have all been received. The
Bill for granting twenty-five miiiica of francs, to in-
demnify the claims of the Government of the United
States of America, was brought forward in the Cham-
ber of Deputies on Thursday. So great was the in-
terest excited by the expected discussion on this Bill,

that the Chamber was crowded to suffocation long
before the public business was commenced. The

Order of the Day having been read for opening the
debate, the Duke of FITZJAMES opposed the Bill
in a speech of great length, and some ability. He
contended that it was absurd, on the part of Ame-
rica, to revive a question of claims which was only
intended to enrich the treasury, not to benefit in-
dividual sufferers ; and that it would be baseness
and pusillanimity, on the part of France, to con-
cede claims which were never made, save when it
' was believed that the kingdom was not in a condition
to go to war. He instanced the variation, at different
periods, in the amount claimed by America, and ob-
served that this fluctuation in the sum total of the
alleged debt was a proof that it, was not founded in
equity. He charged the Government with deviating
from the line .of conduct which it ought to have
pursued on this question, and assured the Cham-
ber that the. country would no longer tolerate it.
After the Duke had sat down, M. VIGIER ascend-
ed the tribune, and was followed by others who
spoke severally for and against the motion. No
decision had been come to up to the moment
the latest expresses left Paris, but it was generally be-
lieved that the Bill would be carried through both
Chambers by a very large majority.
The Moniteur contains advices from Algiers con-
firming the statements which we published yesterday
respecting the precarious position of the French colo-
nists, and the dangers to which they are exposed from
the attacks of the Arabs. It is more than probable
that France will be obliged to vacate Algiers before the
expiration of the present year.
The Bar of Rouen has followed the example of. the
Counsel of Paris with respect to the prisoners of April.
At a meeting of Advocates held in that City, it was

not only r:solved that the conduct of the advocates
of Paris was justiLllle, but also that the Me►nbers
of the Bar of Rouen were prepared to adopt any
course which their brethren in Paris might think proper
to recommend. This conduct on the part of the French
Bar• has exceedingly annoyed the KING, and threaten
to disconcert the Chamber of Peers. Baron PAS-
QUIER, the President, has already summoned a Coun-
cil of Ministers and the legal advisers of the Crown to
his aid, but the result remains as yet a secret.
