BRUSSELS, MARCH B.—The Seine rose yesterday to
is 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.aThis is the sixth time this winter that
the Seine has overflowed its banks. Most of the mann-
factories-ou the banks of this river have ceased work for
more than six successive weeks.
The Chamber entered yesterdy on the discussion of the
project oflaw relative to the repayment and the conversion
of the loan of 100,800,000 francs. The Minister of Fi-
nance begun by showing that the remonstrances of some
French capitalists were unfounded. He afterwards gave
the formal assurance that it was not correct that the nego-
tiations with Holland for the reimbursement of a capital
of eighty millions of florins were already much advanced.
After some observations of M. Corswarren, who pro-
posed the conversion should be into Four per Cent. Stock ;
and of Messrs. Hoffschmidt and Cogels, who defended
thelprojectxff the Central Section, Count Meeus spoke,
and was listened to with great attention. He approved of
the principle of the proposed measure, and thought that
the Government had perhaps shown excessive caution in
contenting itself with a conversion into Four-and-a-Half
per Cent. Stock, when the state of our credit 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
agreed to by tke seventy-two members present.
The second article, fixing the conversion into Four-
, and-a-Half per Cent. Stock was agreed to, M. Com
warren's amendment of Four per Cent. stock being re-
' jetted. The debate was then adjourned.
The King gave a private audience two days ago to
the English engineers, Messrs. Cubitt and Topwitb, who
gave his Majesty a most satisfactory account of the
result of the then examination of the country between
thb 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.
