'Bettassts, Dec.. 13.---The Second Chamber of
the :-.ltates General, in its yesterday's sitting, was
abe,ist wholly occupied with the proposal Of Me.
Hoffsehmidt, the object of which was to prohibit
the exportation of corn -by the frontier of the
Grand Melly of LoXeMborg ; and by that of
sir. Pyke, relative to a general prohibition of the
exportation of cornovideb is not proved to hive
been imporiet,l. Atter a long awl annulated de-
bate, hods' these proposals were adopted, the first
by a majority of 60 votes to 12, cud the strand
by 42 to 35. WW shall giveloonorrow the official
proms rerta, which hat not yet been sent to us,
and sureessively the speeches delivered in'this in-
teresting Sittiog.o.
The sittings of the Second Chamber today be-
gala by a motion of order. 'Made by Mr. Van Al-
expressive of his dissatisfaction at the ap-
plaatses whirds burst forth yesterday upon the adop-
tion of the proposal of Mr. Pyke ; he invited the
Chamber to take measures to prevent similar oc-
currences in future. The Chamber then proceed-
ed to discuss the project of the law relative to
the Militia ; a great many Members spoke upon
this important rojeet. Mr. Pyke in particular
observed, that the Militia system as it existed was
vicious, because the time of service is too short
to form a good artillerist ; and, above all, to in-
spire that esprit'dts corps which is so necessary
for the formation of armies.

Mr. Suitt endeavoured to spew that the 18th
Article of the Project gave, in time of war, too
great a Whittle to the Royal prerogative. An
amendment which be proposed to this effect was
rejected by 41 votes to 38. The Project was im•
metliwtety after pot to site %rate, and carried by a
majority of 111 cotes to id.. The Sitting broke
stp at five o'clock, and is to meet to-morrow at
eleven to discuss the Budget.

They write from Ghent, that on Sunday 14st the
Custom-houses on Me frontiers hail received or-
tiers to deliver no more passports (passavons) for
the exportation of corn, and that on the following
day several ,vaggons loaded with corn, going to
trance, had hem stopped tit tla)lewyn.
%%le learn from 'roomy, that, withio a few days
past several French deserters have arrived.

The Merchants of Naomi. have addressed a Pe.
Lion to the States-General, in which they allege a
number of arguments to prove that the law only
affects salt 'not yet imported. antl cannot reach
that which is already warehoused. They apply
the same reasoning ,to the other articles subject
to the tat.

tide relative to Spanish commerce :--
