BRUSSELS, Arm', 11.—His Majesty has not ac•
cepted the resignation tendered by M. Deschamps,
Minister of Public Works.
We are assured that their Majesties the King and
Queen of the Belgians will return to Brussels on the
19th of this month. Their Majesties will afterwards
go to Paris, at the time of the fete (saint's-day) of
the King of the French, which will be marked this
year by the solemn opening of the exhibition of the
national manufactures.
M. Bared, chief clerk of the division of the Post-
office in the department of Public Works, embarked
at Ostend yesterday, for London.
If we are rightly informed, the mission of M.
Bareel is connected with a negotiation which will do
honour to the Government, namely, to establish a
daily communication by steamers, and likewise to re-
duce the postage of English letters, and to abolish
the obligation of paying the postage before-hand.
THE HAGUE, Aran, 11.—We learn with pleasure
that the Temperance Society formed here has already
correspondents in several towns in the kingdom, who
are labouring with great success to promote the
laudable objects of the society.
His Imperial Highness the Grand Duke Alexander
of Pruss;a arrived here yesterday evening, on a visit
to their Majesties, and alighted at the Royal Palace.
It is said that his Imperial Highness will make a very
short stay, and perhaps leave the Hague this day.
ST. PETERSIIURGII, MARCH 21.—T0 check the
continental emigration of the Jews over the frontiers,
..the following resolution of the Council of the Empire,
sanctioned by his Majesty the Emperor, has been just
published as a law :
" Jews who, without legal licenses, or with licenses
which have expired, go over the frontiers, when they
have before been recognised as actual Russian sub-
jects, and as such brought back into the empire, shall
be given up to the local Government authorities, who
shall deal with them according to the laws relating
to deserters and vagrants, even when theirform

Dituitr•LANE THEATRE.—There is an unusual de-
gree of excitement created by the performances of this
evening, because they present the combined attraction of
a new dansense and a new ballet. Mademoiselle Lucile
Gralin has never before been in this country, but she
brings with her a high reputation both from France and
Italy ; while the ballet of Lady Henriette is at this mo-
ment all the rage in Paris. When we add that, with
these attractions is united that of The Bohemian Girl, it
will be admitted that the bill of fare is most inviting.
STATE OF CRIME IN LEEDS.—The return of the
' number of persons taken into custody in Leeds for
various offences during the first three months of the pre-
sent year, shows a great comparative diminution of
crime in the borough. The total number of persons
taken into custody on various charges was in January
last, 200 ; February, 161 ; and March, 110. Com-
paring this three months' return with the corresponding
period of last year, we find a decrease of persons taken
into custody of 164. In the month of March, 1843, the
number of prisoners was greater by 90 than in March
last, and even this year there were 90 prisoners less in
March than January, and 51 less than in February.
There is little doubt that the present favourable state of
the borough arises from the improved condition of the
, inhabitants, consequent upon a revival of trade.—Leeds
