FLANDERS AND DUTCH MAIL.
BRUSSELS, MAY 18.--His Majesty the King of Saxony is
expected to pass through Brussels on his way to London.
It seems that there is to be another boat race at Ostend, be-
tween the same parties ; it is said that a sum of 2,000 francs
is deposited on each side, and that the beats are to run from
Sheepdaele to the Jasde Slykens. We do not know what
Idnd of boats are to be used.

The Pnnce of Solms Bramifels arrived at Ostend on the
17th, from Mannheim, with his suite. His Highness is go-
ing to Texas.
linussEns, ILLY N.—At the commencement of the sitting
!of the Chamber of Representatives to-day, M. Verhaegen
made a motion relative to the accident which occurred on the
;railway on Friday, to engage the Government to give an
accurate account of the cause. The information asked for by
M. Verhaegen will be published in the Moniteur.
Two votes of the highest importance were then agreed to.
;After a long debate : the Chamber adopted by a majority of
;forty-one to seventeen, the principle of differential duties—
Iseven Members declined voting.
The motion of M. Meeus to defer the application of this
principle till next session was then rejected by a majority of
forty to twenty-five.
We find the following lines in a letter addressed from Brus-
sels to the Augsburgh Gazette ; though they appear to be enig-
matical, we believe that they give reason to say that the
demolition of several fortresses will soon be brought forward
—" The Belgian Minister of Foreign Affairs addressed on the
4th of February last to the Cabinet of this question :
Of the sums which were destined to the sections of the for-
tresses in the Belgian frontiers against France, are there, still
remaining any funds which according to the stipulation of
the treaties concluded with the London Conference are to be
applied to the demolition of the fortresses of Menim, Ath,
Mons Phillippeville, and Marionbourg." The Cabinet in
question answered in a note, dated the 11th of April, that no
part of these funds is remaining.
The day for the return of the King from Ardenne is not
fixed, as it is probable that his Majesty will come to Brussels
on Thursday or Friday at the latest, to receive the King of
Saxony as he passes through this city. He will arrive here
on Saturday, by the railway, from Aix-la-Chapelle, and will
stay till Monday, when he will go to Ostend, and embark on
boafd tlie Princess Alice Reamer for London.
