An account of the proceedings In the Bea* Committees was pub.
fished by the Emancipation, but was complained of and declared fake

committee M. Rotunda demanded that the sitting should be wide pub-

the following terms
PILOTOBITION—In the name of the Belgic people--
The National Grogram, seeing the Protocol signed by the Plenipo
tentiaries of France, Austria. England,Aussla, and Prussia, dated 9th
January, 1831, and communicated to the Assembly the lath of the
same month, considering that the Belgic people several months ago
shook off the yoke of the Dutch, without the assistance of any
foreign power, and constituted its own independence, as has been
acknowledged in principle by the five Governments above mentioned;
that war existing between Belgium and Holland no Foreign Power has
the right to interfere in the affairs of those two countries. That if, on
pretexts of humanity, and to prevent the effusion of blood, the five
Powers have offered a purely friendlyediation by way of negated"
only in order to palliate an armistice. Neither Belgium nor Hollandl
has submitted itself to thidiscretion and decision of the said pewees.
That on the contrary the powers have themselves proclaimed the
Principle of nonintervention, a principle then asserted by Frusta
That the condition of the armistice not having been executed on the
part of Holland, Belgium, which has hitherto faithfully observed
the saki conditions, as far:as it is concerned, could not and cannot
be forced to maintain a state of things ruinous to itself and favourable
to its enemies; and yet it is Holland that has resumed hostilities.
That the Congress and Belgium do not know and will not recogabe
any convention by which the Powers may have made themselves tuthlse
of the differences with Holland, especially if it gives the right of eat.
outing it by force.
That Belgium does not ask the support of the powers to compel King
William by force to execute the armistice, because it will not acknow.
ledge the right of intervention against either of the belligerent parties.
That the protocol of 9th Jan. in which Belgium has taken no pare
formally, lays down the principle of direct and armed intervention, a
principle contrary to the rights of nations.
That if the Governments league together at London to stifle the
germs of liberty, whenever they appear, the Holy Alliance of nations
will find means to break the fetters which despotism is pteparkg for
them. Protests solemnly against all intervention of foreign Govern-
meats in the affairs of Belgium and its relations with Holland, and con.

which they defend.
Declares that the nation will rise en mane to preserve its rights
and its independence.

NATIONAL CONGRESS.—SvrTiso or Jos. 17.

M. Rogier rose to refute a letter addressed to M. Firmin Rogier, by
Gat. Sebasdani. He justifies his brother by quoting a letter from M.
Brawn, in which the statement relative to the Duke de Leuchtenberg
is contained in nearly the same terms. As for the alliance with the
Princess of France, he cannot answer the reproach made by the French
minister but by drawing deductions from the letter of M. Bremen. Ha
very well understands that that minister must have been asesehisi as
the strange :proceedings at the congress.—(Murmurs.) Yes, Ow
demen, it is a strange and unusual proceeding to require ccallfimdsi
diplomatic communications to be read in public.
M. de Strasaart considered the exclusion of the Duke de Laminar
burg as a result of such a timid and odious policy that he could not
attribute it to the noble Monarch who now is the happiness of Fraser.
He did not accuse our Government or M. Hasson. All than
manauvres appear to him the work of some lame diplomacy, and
be was delighted that General Sebastian' had facially contradicted
it ; this proceeding, so honourable to himself and the French Go.
vanment, leaves us at full liberty to choose the son of the vitamins
and illustrious Prince Eugene, if the interest and dignity of Belgium
require it.
AL de Robin's. I think that the lame diplomacy of the hide
powers goes mote straight forward than ours.
Al. Delwaerde. This discussion leads to nothing. I mg= dr
order of the day, (adopted.)
M.Le Hon proposed to declare the account given by the taffulpatise
of Jan. 18, of the Secret Committees of the Congress of the lith, is
false. He observed that that Journal had published a manifest and ex-
tremely dangerous falsehood, by saying that the proposal of IL Re.'
baulx bad been adopted. This is making us &clam war against all
Europe, and it is necessary, that such an assertion should be con.
tradkted.

M. Robaulx confesses: himself in that measure to be
the author of the article in question, the Emancipation ; and without
sedeavoaring to excuse the falsehood which it contained, Ind which he
says was the result of a mistake, he muerte that the Congress parka*
the *dons expressed blithe protocol. He also declared that being IS
gum to all mystery, be did not think himself bound to annoy with
Tempest to the proceedings of the Committees of the Congress. He added
--" have mode a mistake; say so, butt abide by my pro
redden.
De Forgoer says that to mind what passes in the secret Commit',

is a want of respect to the majority of the Congress, sod paralyses its
acts at the will of one, or a small number, which is not permitted.
A warm and noisy debate arose on this point.
M. Ls Hon observed, bow imprudent it was to excite the mass of the
people by falsehoods of this nature, when it is found difficult to restrain
the avenues of the army; and, ca the other band, we are resolved to
observe the armistice. If the Congress does not do justice to such asser-
tions, the Executive GOUTIMINIt has nothing to do but to resign its
pewee into its hands.:
In the end, M. Le Hon's proposal was adopted by a great moistly s
and the President, in consequence, declared the report made by the
Essaneipstion, of two Beam Committals of the 16th, to be false.
After some debate on M. Rebottles proposition, be was induced to
withdraw it ; and the Assembly then proceeded to dhotis the project of
I law relative to the civic guard.

BRUSSELS. J.ur. 18.

The Secretary of*. Englbh legation set out last night in peat hosts
with despatches foe thelgiague. A courier of the Provisional Govern.
meet, and an English Cabinet meaner, are gone with despatches for
London.--Brwssek Papers, Jan. 19.

We have private accounts i from Brussels, which state,
that a part of the volunteers stationed on the frontiers,
between Antwerp and Breda, with some battalions of troops
of the line, have received orders to advance on Breda. Fur-
ther accounts add, that this small army has already advanced
several leagues on the Dutch territory, without meeting any
obstacle ; the greatest part of the Dutch troops having pro-
ceeded towards Maastricht ; and Breda has been left to its fate.
Information from Luxembourg states that the garrison
is provisioned for a year ; and was to receive, on the 13th
of January, a reinforcement of 10,000 men. The garrisons
of Mets and Thornville are also to be reinforced, and the
whole of the French frontiers are furnished with troops.
The Courier do Is Meese of the 12th state, that a strong
cannonade was heard in the direction of Masstrich, and that
fortress, it appears, was firing= the workmen in the trenches.
500 shells are said to have arrived to the Belgian form, and
they were determined to take the fortress by storm

The arrivals of to-day bring no very important intelli-
gence, which can be considered authentic, from the North
of Europe. The amounts from Poland are all details of pre-
paration for the expected warfare ; but it does not appear
that the Rued= army are making very rapid progress to-
wards the field of addict. There is some acoonst of an
