BRUSSELS, DEC. I.—The Chamber terminated yester-
day the debate on the budget of ways and means, which
was agreed to without modification by a majority of
61 to 4.

A sudden change has taken place in the affairs of St.
Thomas's. Among the Members of the Chamber who, for
these three days have taken a malicious pleasure in de-
crying the colony at St. Thomas, there are some who
would be very glad if they could recal their words while
they were talking of a ruinous combination and impor-
tune, and at the moment when it was least expected a
change has taken place, and the English have
taken it up. What does this mean ? What
has happened ? Why, the English have said,
. You will not give three millions to a company cam-
posed of your own countrymen I Well, we will give
them. You will not have your countrymen go with their
labour and their capital, to fertilise the virgin soil of St.
Thomas's ; well, we will send ours. You will not found
a Belgian American empire for your glory, and for the
future splendour of your industry; well, we will found an
empire which shall equal Anglo-America. Everybody will
be contented, because you will get rid of an affair which
annoyed you ; and we, because while seeking an oppor-
tunity to employ our capital to advantage, we at the
same time always bear in mind the territorial aggran•
disement and the prosperity of the manufactories of our
country."

We hope, however, that the Belgian Company will
not be completely tramformed into an English one.
Undoubtedly those who give three millions to the
Company have reserved to themselves some rights of su-
perintendence and control. We may therefore expect
that some Englishmen will be joined with Lelgians in the
twelve Director: of the Company : we shall see Eng-
lishmen take part in the advantages which the peculiar
situation of St. Thomas's offer to the commerce and ma-
nufacture of Europe: we still hope that Brussels will
continue to be the seat of this Company, that .Ostend and
Bruges will not lose the promised Opportunity of sending
their ships and receiving the returns. All these, how-
ever, must soon be cleared up,—Courrier Beige.
