CONVERSION.

According to a notice published yesterday evening
by his Excellency the Minister of Finance, the mea-
sures presented by the royal resolution of the 21st of
August last, relative to the repayment or the con-
version of the public debt, bearing interest at 5 and
41 per cent., have led to the following result :-
1. Of the sum of 15,052,000 florins, designated by
drawing lots, repaid or converted, there will be repaid
according to the desire of the parties concerned—
On the Ist of October, 1844 .................... 3,718,500f1.
To be converted into inscription in the great
book of the national debt, at 4 per cent....11,333,500f1.

Total ..............................15,052,000f1.
2. According to the declaration of holders of obli-
gations of the national debt, bearing interest at 5 per
cent. (as far as they are yet known), the conversion
intoinscription at 4 per cent. interest, and an indem-
nity of four florins for every hundred florins principal,
will be effected, dating from Oet.'l, 1844, for the sum
of 25,988,400 florins.
' 3. It results from the declaration made by the
holders of bonds issued by the late Syndicate at 4l
per cent. interest, that the conversion of their bonds
into inscriptions at 4 per cont., and indemnity of
3fl. 50e. for every 100 florins principal has been
asked for a sum of 2:3,634,200 florins. This conver-
sion will likewise be effected from the date of the Ist
of October, 1844.
will
From the above statement it appears that a further
capital of at least 60,956,100 florins of the national
debt, bearing interest at 5 and 4i per cent., will be
converted into inscriptions in the great book at 4 per
interestcent. ; andat p

Three months only have passed since the adoption
of the law as the repayment or conversion ; and the
State may already congratulate itself on the redemp-
tion or the conversion of half of that portion of our
national debt which the Government proposed to
subject to that operation. This result, so favourable
to our financial prospects, is too evident to need any
observation.

BRUSSELS, SEPT. 24.—Yesterday morning, at
one o'clock, a salute of twenty-one guns announced
the solemnity of the day. At ten a funeral service
was performed in the Church of St. Gudule, in me-
mory of the citizens who fell in defence of the national
independence.
This week there have arrived at Ostend 23 boats,
with cod, together 1,489 tuns, from the Doggerbank,
to be added to the 6,592 tuns already received at the
same port, and 1,179 tuns from Ferro.
Accounts from Dunkirk, of the 19th, say—
" More than forty-one fishing vessels have arrived
here within these forty-eight hours. Unhappily,
every boat that arrived brings the most unfavourable
accounts of the result of the fishery, and the losses
which have been sustained. Five vessels, insured for
150,000 francs, are totally lost. Most of the others
have suffered much damage to their sails, masts, &c.
Only half of our boats have yet returned, so that we
are in fear for them."

BRUSSELS, SEPT. 23.—The shipowners, merchants,
and sugar refiners, who met lately at Brussels, to
examine the effects of the existing law on sugar, were
unanimously of opinion that a modification of the law
is highly necessary and indispensable.
The manoeuvres of the camp of Beverloo were very
brilliant. The Minister of War bore witness to the
great improvement of the troops, who, among other
evolutions, gave a representation of the battle of July,
the plan of which had been received from the French '
Minister of War. This manoeuvre excited the admi-
ration of all the generals who were present.
CONSTANTINOPLE, SEPT, 4.—The Porte, which
can scarcely manage its own affairs, has thought fit
to take Sultan Abder Shaman under its protection.
Troubled by articles in some French journals, which
state that some Belgian officers had applied to the I
French Government to be employed in the campaign
egainst Morocco, the Porte has taken it into its head
