littussELs, Nov. 28.—The day before yesterday the
Ring- transacted business with General Goblet, and after-
wards with the Ministers of the Interior and Justice,
and in the evening with the Minister of War.

The President of the Chamber of Representatives yes-
terday sent to inquire of the Grand Marshal of the Pa-
lace at what time the deputation of the Chamber might
to-day present to the King the addrrss voted yesterday
by the assembly. His Majesty immediately returned an
answer by his secretary, that he did not think he could
receive the deputation before he had re-constituted his
Ministry.—Memorial Beige.

In consequence of the- vote of the Chamber on the
4th paragraph of the address, all the Ministers resigned
on the evening of the day before yesterday. M. Le
ben' announced it yesterday in the Chamber of Re-
presentatives.

The Moniteur of this morning says not a word of
the change of the Ministry.
Messrs. de Theux and de Muelenaere have been sent
for to the Palace. It is affirmed that they are com-
missioned by the King to form a Ministry. The
Chamber of Representatives will not meet to-day.
ANTWERP, NOV. 27. Yesterday the inhabitants of
Berchem were ordered to have water in their apartments
in case of an attack, and the miners were on the point
of commencing their works during the night ; at 8 o'clock
counter orders were given, and the works were not begun.
NOVEMBER 28 —The church of St. Laurent is fitting
up as an hospital for the French soldiers : those of Ber-
chem and Borgerhout, and some private houses, will be
used for the same purpose.
Rockets were thrown up from the citadel last night, to
discover whether the workmen were doing anything. The
sth company of the 2d battalion, and the sth of the 3d
division of gunners, entered the city yesterday; and to-day
a company of miners has also arrived.
The works of the siege will be commenced tinder the
direction of Major Morier, of the staff. It is he who,
during the siege, is to make out the lists of the killed, and
to send the wounded to the neighbouring hospitals.
The Belgian commanders of the several posts on the left
bank of the Scheldt have delivered, or will deliver, to the
French the positions which they occupied ; they are ex-
pected at Antwerp to-day.
_ _ _

On the side towards Kiel the works of the French en-
gineers are proceeding with great activity ; they have been
working a great deal during the last two nights, notwith-
standing the dreadful weather. The garden of the Har-
mony Society of Antwerp, which is in part in the reserved
limits of the citadel, and which is, as it were, under the
half-moon of St. Laurent, is converted into a s'rong bat-
tery, and will probably be armed this night.
Everything is put off, and we shall be entirely tranquil
for some days longer. Negotiations are on foot, and for
the present there is no intention of besieging the citadel.
Orders bad been given for the 6th regiment of B•lgian
infantry to relieve the sth, which has been at Antwerp
these two years; but the new negotiations have also caused
this change to be deferred, and the counter orders have
been given.

Tents, sacks, &c., for a camp of 13,000 men have bee❑
sent from Boom.
AUG.,BUKG, Nov. 29.—1 t has been announced that
Marshal Gerard had formally required General Chasse to
acknowledge the neutrality of the city of Antwerp. We
are able again to declare that no communication, either
friendly or official, has taken place between the illustrious
Marshal and the Dutch General.—Journal du Commerce
of Antwerp.
The Phare says, the Duke of Orleans explored the en-
virons of the citadel yesterday. His Royal Highness was
in plain clothes.
Forty-eight pieces of cannon, of different sizes, are on
the causeway at Boom, ready to be sent to their destination.
BORGERHOUT, Nov. 29.—Matters remain in the same
state as yesterday ; no works are begun, nor have any
orders been given to that effect. Every thing is ready.
The appearance of all the places near the citadel beyond
the plain, which is considered as the scene of attack, in-
dicates that hostilities are at hand.
(From the Journal du Commerce d'Anvers.)
ANTWE RP, Nov. 30.—Part of our letters and most of
the journals from Brussels have not come to hand. This
morning, at two o'clock, no diligence from the capital had
arrived. This obliges us to publish our journal with a
• blank page.
The works against the citadel commenced yesterday
evening, and have been continued with extreme vigour
during the night, and this morning the trenches are

t.- already within a short distance of the outworks of the
1‘ citadel. General astonishment was felt this morning that
General Chasse did not attempt to check the operations
