BRUSSELS PAPERS.

RECEIVED THIS MORNING.
Bausssis, FER. 4.—A courier arrived at Brussele yes-
terday, with despatches from M. Van de Weyer.
A private letter from Luxemburg informs us that the
Military Governor of the fortress has caused all persons to
leave the city who have been in the service of Belgium,
and the partizans of Baron Tornaco.
A decree, signed by his Majesty, and countersigned by
the Minister of Finance, has been published, the object of
which is to prevent the loss sustained by the treasury in
consequence of the facility afforded to the importation and
exportation of goods to and out of the kingdom, by the oc-
cupation of Maestricht by the Dutch.
By a law passed 26th August, 1822, a tract of land
extending to the distance of 5,500 mitres from the frontier
of any foreign territory, is declared to be reserved territory,
within which the depots, magazines, and other conveyance
of merchandise liable to the duties of customs or excise,
are placed under certain restrictions.
Now the city and territory of Maestricht being occupied
by the enemy's troops, afford the greatest facilities for
defrauding the revenue. In order to prevent this abuse,
first, the city and military district of Maestricht are de-
clared to be foreign territory. Second, a tract of country
extending 5,500 mitres in a direct line from the circum-
ference of the territory, occupied by the enemy's troops,
is declared to be reserved territory, and subject to the special
regulations and restrictions announced in the said law for
the prevention of fraud and the protection of the revenue.
M. Quetilet has just published his recent inquiries into
the population of our country. The exact amount is
4,064,209 souls, without deducting the territory, which
we lose by the twenty-four articles. Two-thirds of the
population inhabit the country.
ANTWERP, FEB. 3.—We perceive some movements in
the Dutch squadron. The sailors are busy in caulking
their vessels; the gun-boats are preparing to resume their
usual station.

The Magistrates have shut up all the lodging.houses in
which soldiers are received, except two.
VIENNA,JAN. 25.—We have had within these few days
an increase of cholera patients in the city and suburbs,
and by the addition of four more patients in the suburbs,
since yesterday noon. We have now ten remaining, viz.,
two in the city and eight in the suburbs. Weis and the
whole province of Austrias on the Ens are supposed to be
quite free, as shown from an interval of twenty days with-
out any new case.

RATISIION, JAN. 25.—Prince Poniatowski, with many
Polish officers, arrived here yesterday evening, and left
us today at noon to proceed to Stuttgard and Strasburg.
A great many more have arrived to-day, one of whom is
said to be Count Plater. As the time of the quarantine
in Bavaria is now reduced to five days, we expect shortly
a great many Poles to pass through our city, including
700 privates. It is said that there are still above 400
officers on the frontiers of Bohemia.
The first division of 110 Polish officers arrived at
Spires on the 23d, amidst the firing of small cannon and
great demonstrations of joy. In the evening there was a
great assembly in the saloon of the Harmony Society,
where a fine transparency was exhibited, representing the
arms of Poland and Lithuania united, and the transparency
represented an anchor, before which are two joined bands
with the words " Germany with Poland." Patriotic
songs were sung. Almost all the brave men have wounds
received at Grodno or Ostrolenka, or at the fatal catas.
trophe at Warsaw. Tbey complain much of the treatment
they have received in Prussia. On the same day a second
division arrived on their way to France, and were received
with the same cordiality.
