SECOND CHAMBER OF 'I LIE STATES GENERAL.

BRUSSELS, Nov. 19.---The Sitting opened at
halt-past eleven ; the Emperor of Russia, in a
plain di ess, the Empress Dowager, and
.the
Prince and Princess of Orange, were present.
The Order of the Day was the discussion of the
Project of the Law relative to the organization of
the infantry of the national militia. The Minister
t)f the Interior was present in the Assembly, to
defend the measure.
The debates on this occasion were more than
usually warm.
The Minister of the Interior spoke several
times, to answer the objections made by different
speakers. •
On being put to the -vote, the question was
carried by a majority of 73 votes, to 23.
The President announced, that the Minister of
Finances would repair to the Assembly to-mor-
row, at one o'clock, to present, in the King's
name, the Project of a Law.

DELICATE INVESTIGATION.—We understand
that an inquiry is now in progress at the Custom-
house, before the Chief Commissioners of Excise,
of a nature both delicate and serious. A fraud to
a considerable extent has been practised on the
public, which has fortunately not escaped detec-
tion. The vigilance and activity of .11lr. Haw-
thorne have been exerted to hying to light thi3
mysterious business. We do not wish to say
more at present, but. the affair is of that kind
that will necessarily produce further tcsults.—

LONDON,
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1818.

%Ire received this morning the Paris Papers of'
Saturday last. The minor Journals copy the ar-
ticle respecting the dispatches from St. Helena
concerning BUONAPARTE, to .which we yesterday
alluded. The object of putting forth this para-
graph is supposed to have been to give a decisive
negative to the reports which had got into circu-
lation in France, of the escape or intended libera-
tion of BUONAPARTE.

The following are extracts :
" PARIS, Nov. 21.—The King transacted busi-
ness yesterday with the Count Corvetto, the Ali-
ir;ster of Finance, and afterwards %vent to St.
Cloud.

" The Duke of Orleans and family are prepar-
ing ►o fix their residence at Paris, The sons of
his Serene Highness the Duke de Chartres, and
the Duke de Nemours, are entirely recovered
flow their indisposition.
" It is said, that the Emperor of Russia has ex-
pressed a desire to obtain models of the different
equipments of each arm of the Royal Guards and
the. Line.

" Of all the young men who have hitherto been
brought before the Correctional Police, charged
with wearing seditious colours at the different
ballots at the Hotel de Ville, only one who wore
a really tri-coloured cockade has been convicted.
" The Court of Cassation yesterday heard the
appeal of M. Ilotnain, who had been sentenced
to a fine of 50 francs for a contravention of the
Police Regulations, ordering Protestants to place
tapestry in front of their houses on the day of the
Fie Dieu. The Court, considering that the Po-
lice Regulations can only have for their object
what relates to the safety of the citizens and the
public tranquillity, reversed the sentence.

" The case between the Sieur Barbier Daily
and the Countesses de Saint Morys and Ciande-
chart, came on yesterday before the Chainhtr of
Appeal of Correctional Police: The Countess de
Saint Morys delivered a very long speech, &fier
which the further hearing was 'postponed till the
26th inst.

" The King of Naples quitted Rome the 6,h
instant to return to his States, accompanied by
his august brother King Charles IV. of Spain.
" Montmedy is to be delivered up to the French
Commissioners on the 24th instant, and the next
day there will no longer remain any Prussian
troops in the Department of the Meuse.

To-morrow his Royal Highness sets out for the

" VALENCIENNP;S, Nov. 18.—To-morrow this

The Morning Paper which took tip the report
of the intended resignation of t e
,litai) CH AN.
CaLLOR and the Earl of LIVEICPOOI. has'now ex-
tended it into a Oneral rumour of Ministerial
changes, anti asset's that our contradiction rests
on no authority ; and it even "hazards the opinion
that a change of measures or of men will take
place." Why it should *certain such an opinion
we cannot conceive, unless upon the ground of
the Catholic Quest ion. Bnt in that case we pre-
sume, that if any change should take place, it will
be more likely to arise ft om the retirement of th9se
who support that Question, than of those cello
are firm and decided friends to our present, and,
we trust, unalterable Establishment. Upon no
other, we may venture positively to assert, is
there any likelihood of changes and resignat ions.
We contradicted some time since, upon what we

had reason to deem good authority, the report of in; Post )

the intended retirement of the Eat! of Ltv.eifs
