BELGIUM.

The Moniteur Beige publishes a report to the
King, dated Brussels, 'J une 12, upon the recent
events, recommending his Majesty to close the Le-
gislative Session of 1856 1857. Such a measure,
says the report, will suspend the discussion of the
bill on charitable institutions, and adjour❑ it to next
scion. The report is signed by all the Ministers.
In reply thereto, the King has addressed the
fol owing letter to the MiniSter of the Interior,
which is printed likewise in the Moniteur with the
Royal decree for the close of the Session :

"June 13, 1857.
"My deer Minister,—l have rec, ivtd h 1., port
of the Cabinet' dated yesterday, and I hisieu to
give it my full approbation. In proposing the ad
jiairnriient of the discussion, you take an ini. [Alva
which circum t tuces point out to you, and which

" I takeadvailtage of this opportuni'y to address
throug►, your ntediuni a few words Lo t►te couotry,
whlch has given ale so mauy proofs of its atta.4l-
-

"A long and animated discussion, followed by
ine:dents which I deplore, has taken pla,:e in (he
Chamber of Representatives on a bill preceuted by
you.

"For tl'e first time during 26 years that I hive
devoted myseit to Belgium the Parliamen,ary de-
bates have given rise t 1 difficulties, the solution of
which did not at cb.ce r,ved it4elf.

" You have._ acted with the greatest loyalty and
with the most perfect good faith. You are firmly
convinced that the bill, if carried out, would not
produce the bad consequences which:have been at-
tributed to it. I wilt not express an opinion upon
the pr:,poed. hill. I should never have consent •d
to a twit unto our legislaton a bill which might
have had the sad con,equeuces which are feared ;
low without entering into an examination of the
bill itself, I must, take into a.xouut, like you, an
impression wuich evinced itself on this occasion
among a considerable portion of the population.
Ti ere exist in countries which occupy themselves
withth-ir affairs rapid and coutigious emotions
which apread with an intensity more easily dis-
cerned di ,n explained, and with which it is more
prudent to wake terms (transiger) than to reason.
- "The free institutions of Belgium have been in
pric-ice for 26 years with remarkable regularity.
What is there requisite for them to con lone to
function in future with the same order and the
same success.

" I do not hesitate to say that what is requisite,
is mod-rat on and reserve of parties. I think we
ought to aostain from agitating any queStiou of a
ntture to excite discussion iu the public mind. I
am convinced that Belgium may live happy and
respected following the path of moderation ; but 1
am equally convinced, and I said it publicly that any
measure which might be interpreted as tending to
establi=iti the supremacy of one opinion over another
is a danger. We are no.; wanting in liberty, and
our Constitution, wisely and moderately practised,
presents a happy balance.

- "My sincere and profound attachment to the
destinies ofthe country has given rise within me to
these serious reflections. I communicAte them to
the country, to yourself, to the majority of the na-
tional npreentation.
"In the circumstances in which we are now
placed the majority of tue Chamber, whose wishes,
as a maj-rity, are and ought to be my guide, has a
noble task to perform, a task worthy of a great
party.

"I. advise it to renounce, as you will propose it
to do, the discussion of the Bill. It is fur the ma-
jority to undertake this generouS part. By taking
it entirely upon itself it will give (he world a iiigl7
idea of its wisdom and its patriotism. It will Ina n-
t tin iu its ranks ihe close union which for ad par-
ties is the first fruit and the highest reward of a
noble and good action perforoied in common.
"Last ye it the country thanked me for my de-
votion ; to-day I 'ham( it fir its confidence.
" This letter will probe to you how happy I am
to share your views, how much I appreciate your
co ud uct.

" It is my wish to watch with you and your col-
leagues, over the interests of this beautitul and
beloved country.
" Believe, my dear Minister, in the affectionate
feelings I entertain for you.

FRANCE.

PARIS, SATIIRDA.Y EVENING.
The dissension among th 3 Democratic party on
the choice of caudidAtes for Paris is as marktet as

ever. The Siecle set out with declaring that the
cause of liberty which it uas at heart would be
seriously imperilled unless the fractures into which
the Republicans are split agree to fold up their re-
spective flags—green, blue, red, crime en, or black,
as the case may be—put them in their pockets for
the moment, make mutual concessions, an.l become
reconciled. It expressed its sadsfaction and pride
at being able to point to the Journal des Debats, the
organ of the Orleanist monarchy, making as it
were common cause with it. Certaiuly nothing is
more noble than the oblivion and pardon of In-
jury, nor more neautifol. than to see old enemies
meeting fraternally, when the meeting is sincere.
Unfortunately, this can hardly be the case in toe
present instance ; few will believe that the Journal
des Liebats is serious iu recommending to the elec-
tors of Paris M. Darunon, the pupil, the colleague,
the friend of Pruclh,in' and the expoun ier of his
terrible doctrines. It can scarcely feel sympa•hy
with the Commissary of the Republic (no was then
wily twervy years of age) in ics wildest days, nor
with the Red M. 011ivier, M. Carnot, M. Goad-
chaux, and others of the same stamp, ou the mere
chance that one of its own e litters may slip in unno-
ticed. And are we asked to believe that the ,Siecle
is sincere when it proclaims in its Republican
columns M. de LiAboulaye, who, there is no doubt,
will, :shoal 1 the occasion require it, denounce iu
the Chamber the acts that led to the revolution of
February ? General Cavaignac, who figures in the
same list, is a name apart. A Republican, more
,perhaps from family tradition than c arviction, he
yet served the Ode mist Government, took the oath
of allegiance to it, accepted honours and rewards
from it ; he did not conspire for us uvetthrow, and
his services as Dicattur of the Republic are con-
siderable enough to entitle h.m to be m‘de au ex-
ception. The coalition between tile Debate an 1
the Siccle has brought on the former the sarcasms
of ti,e ocher Royalst jou, n els.
The following private telegraphic despatches have
