The examination of Ma 'ame Vandersmissen was eontinued
at some length in the latter part of the sitting of the Court
Assizes at Brussels, on the 2d inst. She denied all the chart,

After her examination, the gatekeeper of the priaell' •
had been mentioned as having heard Crehen tell the poi

he would be well rewarded by the Government, WM aHe
to corfirm or deny the truth of Verprect's assertion.

confidence in the generals, as they would give him

him as an agent or spy. M. Hody, in answer to a tln,bad

The remaining part of the proceedings, in the sitting 0,0„,e
day, was without interest. In the sitting of the ad dated
letters were produced in Court and read. They werevareat
in 1839, 1840, and 1841, and were from the prisoner
