BRUSSELS, Maxim B.—The Senne rose yesterday to
its greatest height. The causeway of Lacken, that is
the new royal road, was again under water. We do
not remember to have seen so many successive inunda-
tions as this year. This is the sixth time, this winter that
the Senne has overflowed its banks. Most of the manu-
factories on the banks;of this liver have ceased work for
more than six successive weeks

The Chamber entered yesterdy onthe d'scussion of the
project oflaw relat!ve to the repayment ale. cc-aversion
of the loan of 100,800,000 l'ancs. Ttie IV4"mister of Fi-
nance begun by showing thlt tie remonstriinces of some
French capitalists were unfounded. 113 r:leywaxds gave
the formal assurance that it was notcorfecl: that the nego-
tiations with Holland for the reinabursement of a capital
of eighty millions of florins were elrec.,:y cdNanced.
Aft..r some observat'ons of M. Cori,-.r.2:e.n, who pro-
posed the conversion should be 71. Cent. Stock ;
and of Messrs. Hoffsch-Z-1:: Fad Co,-;-21:, who defended
theproject of the Centeal See6on, Meeus spoke,
and was listened to with great Ile approved of
the principle of the proposed mersure, pui thought that
the Government hadperha.ps shown caution in
contenting itself with a cony& sinn into Sour-and-a-Half
per Cent. Stock, when the state of our c:-;.dit would have
allowed it to attempt a conversion into Four per Cent.
Stock. After some further remarks by different Mem-
bers, the general discussion was closed, and the first
article, authorising the reimbursement, was unanimously
tweed to by the seventy-two members present.
The second article, fixing the conversion into Four-
and-a-Half per Cent. Stock was agreed to, M. Cors•
warren's amendment of Four per Cent. stock being re-
jected. The debate was then adjourned.
The King gave a private audience two days ago to
the English engineers, Messrs. Cubitt and Topwith, who
gave his Majesty a most satisfactory account of the
result of the then examination of the country between
the Sambre and the Meuse, and received from his Ma-
jesty fresh assurances of the interest he takes in the un-
dertaking which is the object of their mission.
