BRUSSELs, DEC. 29.—The number of Belgian
troops ordered to Luxemburg is about 5,000 men :
very rigorous orders have been gievn against the re-
bels who may be taken with arms in their hand.
The following are extracts from the Journal de
Luxemburg of the 24th :
" We publish to-day the papers which the Com-
mittee of the Friends of Legal Order formed at Hol-
lerith has circulated in the country, to announce its
installation and its object, which is to get rid of the
revolutionary Government and to restore the legal
authority of his Majesty the Grand Duke of Lux-
emburg.

" The first operation of the Committee seems to
have been to secure to the corps of the volunteers,
the command of which it has given to M.Wauthier,
a complete and regular organization. This corps is
reinforced every moment, and has in its ranks citi-
zens who have left their employments, their busi-
ness, slid their property, to contribute to the in-
tended result.

" We are positively assured that the Committee
Hollerich has appointed M. Stappers to the or-
e of Inspector-General of the forests of the Grand
Duchy, and has specially commissioned him to levy
a bavalion of c-,asseurs."

The-Journal of Luxemburg publishes also three
proclamtvions, signed by the Committee of Friends
of Lei:al Order :—" Baron de Piel, B iron Auguste
(l Tornaco, Schames." The following is the second
of their proclamations :
" Notice to the inhabitants of Luxemburg.—We
have this day made an appeal to nor
to induce them to join us and the communes, which
have already declared their adherence to the Govern-
ment of his Majesty the Grand Doke of Luxem-
burg. By the present notice we call particularly on
those who are in a situation to serve in the corps
which is destined to protect this return to legal
order, and to insure the public tranquillity and the
security of persons and property.
" Luxemburgers ! your ancestors have left to you
an inestimable legacy, that of unalterable fidelity to
your legitimate Sovereign. You will save this
noble inheritance by voluntarily replacing yourself
under the government of the Monarch whom all
Europe gave you in 1813.
" To arms, then citizens : come and join us, for
the support of the most just of taus-s. To arms,
particularly you old soldiers, militiamen, and others
capable of military service ; a franc a-day pny is
promised you.
" The Committee of the Friends of Legal Order,
" Baron de PIEL.
"Baron AUGUSTE de TORNACO.

contained in the same Journal

ARLoN, DEC. 25.—This morning a French Captain
of Grenadiers arrived with a letter from the Governor
of the fortress of Longwy, in which inforrnaiion was
asked respecting the events that have been passing
during the last week in the province of Luxemburg.
From another letter of the 25th, containing the
accounts I sent you the day before ye,terday, I
regret to have to announce to you that the progress
of the revolutionary insurrection is every moment
becoming more important, and all communication iN
already intercepted between Arlon and most of the
German cantons; and that I have been just informed
that the Committee has made several appointments,
One of which is that of the receiver of stamp-duties
at Mersch and at Beilemburg.
M. Thorn, and all the persons belonging to the
Government of the province, are still at Arlon.

(FROM A TIIIRD LETTER.)
In this letter, which is of great length, an account
is given. of a sally made on the 24th by part of the
n garson of Luxemburg, as far as to Mamer. The
Commissioner of the di,trict who had resided in
that village for eight months was ordered by the
military authorities to quit it. The officers who com-
manded this detachment indulged in all sorts of insults.
The report of the taking of Arlon is unfounded
;
the corps of partisans is divided into two, to act at
the same time towards Dickirch and towards Bel-
lemburg.
The Dutch gensdarmes have seized the papers of
M. Nlalle, inspector at Eich, of the receiver of the
stamp duties at Walferdange, &c.
We learn that M. de Tornaco arrived at Namur
yesterday, by the diligence, escorted by two of the
Marechatissee and two Civic Guards.
Sir Robert Adair yesterday despatched an express
to London.

BEumsFLa, DEC. 29. —An Eves!' Cabinet rnes-

conger set out yesterday afternoon for the Hague, I
with despatches for Sir Robert Adair.
General Vandermeeren has just passed
_through
Ghent on his way from Brussels to Paris and Londin.,
The Memorial, kri,,,fr gives extracts from several
letters of the 26th and 27th, relative tO the affairs
of Luxemburg. The bands, tfft.'y say, are intrenched
within the precincts (`,.-ayon) of the fortress of Lux-
emburf, V.,lllch extends above three learues from the
city, and comprehends in its circumference mom than
12 leagues of territory.
On the 26th they were said to be concentrated
in the vast building 'of the Studs at Walferdange,
a league and a lirtif from Luxemburg. On tht same
day, exertions were making to remote Arlon from a
e..oup de main. That !cwt., was still without troops.
But it seemed that at several parts of the German
frontier, the Custom-house officers', united with the
gendarmes and the eiviclr,ttaH, were prepared to resist.
On the 23J, a detachment of 160 men advanced
from Hesperange by the Grumeald to Mersch ; but,
on the approach of the civic wards of Diekirch and
Ettebruck, they ret•••eal:ed to Walferdange.
On the st.itie day the Marechausse of E' tebruck
captged, near Colmar, the youngest Tonaco,
escorted him to Arlen.

The Moniteur Bel c has the following postscript :
—A letter from Arion, of the 27th, says, the band
of Orangists, of the province of Luxemburg, expe-
rienced) on the 26th, a severe check at the bridge of
Ettebruck, near Diekirch.
Some patriot volunteers, reinforced by the Cus-
tom-house officers of Diekirch and Grevenmacher,
and some gendarmes) completely repulsed the bri-s
gancls, many of whom were wounded, and eleven
taken prisoners. The band retreated to Ntralfer-
dange, in the precincts of the fortress. There is
every reason to believe that this insurrection is
drawing to a eloe. The authors and chiefs seem to
he discouraged. They depended too much on the
means of corruption at their disposal; with a few
exceptions, the Belgian functionaries have indig-
nantly rejected the scandalous and insulting proposals
made to them. The band of insurgents has been
received from the beginning with such aversion in
the whole country, that it could see at the beginning
that its triumph would not be long. Its speedy
dispersion is looked fur.
A postscript to the letter we have just quoted
announces, that the General who commands in
Luxemburg has received orders immediately to
expel from the fortresses all those who have taken
part in the insurrection, if they will not desist from
exciting new troubles in the country.
BRUSSELS, DEC. 30.—Reports from the Governor
of Luxemburg and from Colonel Laseaille, com-
manding the Belgian troops in that province, an-
nounce the defeat of the insurgents, and an order
from the German Diet to the Governor of the for-
tress not to harbour armed men who in their excur-
sions molest the peaceable inhabitants. The Journal
of Luxemburg, of the 28th confirms these accounts.
It says that the day after the retreat of the insur-
gents to Wailerdange, the corps of M. de Wauthier
was suddenly obliged to dissolve itself : a notice to
this effect has been given it at asperange. Orders
issued by the Governor of the fortress require that
no military body whatever shall remain in arms
within the precinct of the fortress. It was in con-
formity with this rule that at a former time the Bel-
gian civic guards of the villages surrounding Lux-
emburg were disarmed, and that a battalion of the
troops of the garrison advanced to Namur to pre-
vent the approach of the civic guards, whom the
governor of Arlon sent thither from time to time.—
In consequence of this measure, most of the men
under the command of M. de \Vauthier have re-en.
tered Luxemburg, after depositing their arms at the
gate of the city.
It is affirmed that Baron A. de Tornaco, with 25
or 30 men,proceeded towards atelbruck, and that his
'coop was defeated at the entrance of the town by
the civic guard and gendarmes, five being killed and
some made prisoners.
Thus, in spite of the efforts of those who directed
this movement, it has been obliged to give way to
the orders which the military Governor of Luxem-
burg found it his duty to issue for the preservation
and defence of the fortress.

Baron A. de Tornaco returned to Luxemburg
wounded in the hand ; he was forced to save him-
self by swimming across the Alzette.
Baron C. de Tornaco has written to the Chamber
of Repre,entatives, complaining of having been ille-
gally arrested. He was to arrive yesterday evening
in the prison of the Petits Carmes, at Brussels.
The Chambers have been chiefly engaged in the
discussion of financial measures.—Brussels Papers,
Dec. 31.

WARSAW, DEC. 18.—The Provisional Govern-
ment announces in his Majesty's name, that Prince
Paskewitsch having represented to the Emperor that
the battalion of the 6th regiment of infantry of the
Polish army, which had laid down its arms at Cra-
cow on the 17th of Sepember, had wholly submitted
to the clemency of the Emperor, his Majesty has
been pleased to grant to that battalion entire pardon
and oblivion of every thing that has passed.
The bridge over the Vistula, between Warsaw
and Piaga, is repaired. The Warsaw Gazelle ob-
serves, that in Poland, Lithuania, and Gallicia, more
Jews than Christians have died of the cholera.
The weather is still mild, Reaumur's thermome-
ter fluctuating from three to s:x above Zero.
ST. PETERSBCRGII, DEC. 17.—0 n Sunday last
a solemn Te Deum was performed in the chapel
of the Winter Palace, at which the Imperial
family were present, to return thanks to God
for the total cessation of the cholera at St. Peters.
