BRUSSELS, DEC. 30.—The Moniteur of this morning
promulgates the law by which the budget of the revenue
of the State for 1842 is estimated at 105,850,612 f.
(4,000,0001.) Other receipts, not included in the above
estimate, 14,482,223 f.
BRUSSELS, DEC, 31.—Since the commencement of the
year 1840 the cannon foundry at Liege has cast 454
pieces of cannon for exportation and 24,547 prgjectiles.
The execution was attended with great difficulties,
Bavaria, which gave the largest order, being the Power
which required the greatest precision in. the dimensions
of its cannon. These difficulties have been surmounted,
and while strictly observing the conditions which it had
agreed to, the foundry has realised a profit. A part of
the sum gained was paid into the Treasury two months
ago; the remainder will be paid when the accounts are
illy settled.
The Monitenr of this morning promulgates the law by
which the budget of thepublic debt is fixed at 31,473,615 f.
and that of the dotations at 3,300,908 f.

His Majesty has conferred tLe order of Leopold on
several Greek functionaries, on occasion of the conclusion
of the treaty of commerce between the Greek Govern-
ment and-the kingdom of Belgium.
If we may give credit to a letter from Aix-la-Cha-
pelle,..dated the 23d, to a Frankfort paper, the iron rail-
way from Aix-la chapelle to Liege is in such a state of
forwardness, that it is expected to be completed in the
course of next summer.

PERSTH, DEc. 19.—The Diet assembled here is very
active. The subject of its last debates was the introduc-
tion of the Jury into -Hungary, which motion was re-
jected, though by a small majority. The minority in-
tend to give a separate vote, and, at all events, the sub-
ject will probably lead to animated debates in the next
Diet. The Diet is at present engaged in a discussion on
a project of laW, for the publicity •of judicial proceed-
ings, which will probably be adopted. The choice of
Magistrates in the country of Heves, which was looked
fur with intense anxiety, passed off at Erlau last week,
contrary to all expectations, without any disturbance 4.
All the persons elected are of the Conservative party.
THE HAGUE, Dac. 30.—We learn from Arnheim that
in consequence of indications of insubordination among
the foreign workmen employed on the railway in that
neighbourhood, it was feared that when they returned to
work on the 27th in the morning, one disturbances
would take place. By way of precautio-t, a detachment
of sappers and -Miners, consisting of 3 officers and 50 men,
was sent on the 26th from Arnheim to Bennekom.
Tranquillity, however, was not interrupted, nor had any
attempt been made by ill-disposed persons to excite dis-
order. A part of the detachment has, however, remained
for the present at Bennekom, -and other measures have
been taken to ensure the continuance of order among the
workmen.

Besides our King, it is said that the reigning Duke of
Saxe-Coburn- Gotha, the King of the Belgians, the
Consort of the Qucen of Portugal, and some Members of
the Royal Family of France, will be present at the bap-
tism of the Prince of Wales.

PETERSBURG, DEC. 20.—The frost haring returned
the day before yesterday (Saturday) the bridges were

•
ice continue to come down.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
(From the Hampshire Telegraph.)
PORTSMOUTH, JAN. I.—The Thalia, 36, Capt. Charles
Hope, is under orders for China, whither she will pro-
ceed on Wednesday next. When at Leith this frigate
picked up an abundance of valuable men, with which she
nearly completed her crew; she wants about 15 hands
only. A few days since she was supplied, at the request
of her Captain, with three of Rodgers' Patent Anchors, a
bower, a stream, and a kedge.
The Queen, 110, Captain Rich, was towed out of har-
bour on Thursday. It is expected that Vice-Admiral
Sir Edward Owen will re-hoist his flag on board this ship
on the 20th instant.
The Powerful, 84, Captain M. Seymour, cane into
harbour on Tuesday to be paid off. She will be re-com-
miSioned by Captain Nicholas Lockyer, C.B.
The Snake, 16, Commander the Hon. W. B. Devereux
sailed on Wednesday for the. Mediterranean.
Extract of a letter from her Majesty's ship Dublin, Rio
de Janeiro, Oct. 30th, 1841 :—" On the 20th October, as
stated in my last letter, we left Rio, and we were parti-
cularly fortunate in making a good offing. On the
following, in the afternoon, it came on to blow hard, and
for the first time since I have joined the Dublin, -we
were under close reefed topsails ; it continued to blow
with more or less violence for the three following days.
On the 25th it was more moderate, so that we could open
the ports, and dry and air the ship: A leak having
shown itself in the Admiral's cabin, advantage was taken
of the weather, to ascertain whence it came and to stop
it. For this purpose it was necessary the carpenter should
be lowered over the stern on a grating, and whilst in
the act of repairing a trivial defect, he providentially
discovered a very important one. The head of the rudder
was so much damaged by an extensive spring or rent,
that it was impracticable to proceed in that state to Val-
paraiso; the ship's head was immediately put to the
northward, the wind favoured us, and although we were
then 550 miles distant from the port we had left, in nine
days we made the passage there and back again, 1,100

miles."
The Pandora packet, arrived at Falmouth, left Barba-
does Nov. 1. and St, Thomas's the 27th. At Barbadoes
were the Rover, Sappho, and Fair Rosamond ; at Ja-
maica, the Comus and Magnificent. The Electra, from
Port Royal, had called off Jamaica, and after landing
specie, proceeded to Honduras.—We% regret to state,
that the West Indies continued exceedingly unhealthy ;
we are informed of the following casualties in the
United Service, by death :—Mr. Crosby, Master's As-
sistant of the Firefly steamer ; Mr. John P.l'Lean, As-
sistant-Surgeon of the Rover • Mr. Alexander Scott,
Assistant-Surgeon of the Fair Rosamond, and 11 of the
crew. At the camp near Kingston, on Nov. 16, Captain
Beresford, of the 60th Rifles ; and Mrs. Espent, the
daughter of Col. Harrison.
The Star (Mexicali packet), arrived at Falmouth on
Sunday, with a freight of 5,000 dollars on merchant's
account, and 150,000 on account of the dividends of the
Republic. Her Majesty's ship Pilot left Vera Cruz on
the 18th November, for Campeachy, to bring about a
settlement of the adverse position of that province and
Mexico, as to the attainment of which there existed little
doubt. The Racehorse sailed on the 26th November
from Havannah for Bermudit. The Star left the Tweed
at Bahia.
The Speedy, cutter, arrived on Monday, from the
River, and returned on Thursday ; the Cracker sailed
the same day for Jersey. The Emerald arrived on
Wednesday from Plymouth.
The Rose, arrived at Bahia from a cruise on the 11th
of October, and sailed again for Rio Janeiro on the 17th
October.
The Electra arrived at Honduras from Jamaica, on the
9th November.
The Vindictive, 50, Captain Toup Nicolas, C.B. is
now fully manned, and will be ready for sea on Tuesday
or Wednesday next, her complement having bean filled
up by 40 volunteers from Liverpool, and 43 from Ply-
mouth. This fine frigate is exceedingly well manned,
having more than 200 able seamen besides getter officers
on board ; it is most most likely she will be appointed
to attend on the King of Prussia, in the room of the
Warspite, which takes Lord Ashburton to New York.
On Tuesday, the Tyne, and on Wednesday, the Sa-
marang and Orestes, were taken into dock. The Caryl-
