BASLE.

JAN. 10.—Last night a detachment of 500 peasants at-
kiupted to take possession of the gates of St. Peter and St.
John. They were repulsed, however, and without any loss
to the inhabitants of the town; the insurgents had several
ounded. The latter now intercept all communications
the town, and stop every courier and diligence. The
bridges in the neighbourhood are all cut down.

Extract of a private letter from Posen.)—" The affairs
cr. Po:and are in a flourishing state. The enthusiasm is ge-
neral among all classes ; the peasantry, and even the Jews,
are rising %% ith the Lords in their patriotic efforts. Before
ti.e end of January, Poland will have 150,000 men ready
to take the field, and 200,000 others armed with pikes and
pistot.s. The sacrifices made by the people are immense.
Persons worthy of credit say that Nicholas's passion has
subsided, and that he has arrived alone at the Lithuanian
army, and is ready to make concessions.

BELGIUM.
NO TN ON THE LIMITS.
J A X , 6, 1831.—The Belgian Commissioners at London
.1111., it their duty to communicate to their Excellencies the
''.enpoeutiaries of the five great powers, the opinion of the

Provisional Government of Belgium on the question of the'
limit which should be drawn between that independent state
and the neighbouring countries. Though so important a
question cannot be decided in the last instance, except by the
National Congress, to which alone the right belongs, the
Commissioners are nevertheless obliged to make known the
only basis on which a treaty may be considered, conformable
to the real interests of the country and to the dignity of the
people who have conquered their independence. It is ne-
cessary for the balance of Europe that this people should be
happy, which it cannot be unless it retains those parts of
its territory, the possession of which is necessary to its de-
fence and prosperity. Several verbal notes, delivered at
Brussels by the Diplomatic Committee to the Delegates
[ from the Plenipotentiaries at London, have explained the
rights and the facts which entitle the Belgian Government
to aim, during the continuation of the armistice, the an-
cient Dutch Flanders, Maastricht, and the province of
Luxemburg. These motives are equally powerful when the
final limits of the country are to be decided.
" The ci-devant territories, united to the departments of
the /Jebel& and of the Lys in 1795, cannot cease to make
part of East and West Flanders, which answer to those two
departments ; without the possession of the left bank of the
Scheldt, Belgium would be exposed on that side, and the
free navigation of that river might be an illusory stipulation.
" The Dutch, if masters of the country on that bank, and
consequently of the sluices constructed to draw of the water
of Austrian Flanders, might inundate at pleasure, as they
have done at former times, the Belgian territory.
" The city of Ghent, which communicates with the mouth
of the Scheldt by the new canal of Teneuse, would lose all
the commercial advantages which it derived from this com-
munication with the sea.

" Maestricht, which never made part of the Republic of
the United Provinces, but where the States-General exer-
cised certain rights, in conjunction with the Prince Bishop
of Liege, is also one of those possessions which cannot be
disputed with any notion of justice and reason ; the more so,
as the Dutch are in possession of all the indemnities which
were given in exchange.
" The question of Luxemburg has been thoroughly dis-
cussed. 'I his province made an integral part of ancient
Belgium. The treaties which have given it a particular re-
lation with Germany have never deprived it of the character
of a Belgian province. The Grand Duchy of Luxemburg
has not formed a State distinct from the kingdom of the
Netherlands. At the same tune with the other Belgian pro-
vinces, the inhabitants of Luxembourg threw off the yoke
of King William, who has declared that their Representa-
tives could not sit in the States General of the Hague. They
have sent their Deputies to the National Congress with the
other Belgians ; they have voted the exclusion of the House
of Nassau ; they cannot and will not return under the domi-
nion of that family. [The note then observes, that Holland
is sufficiently seeured by its rivers from any attack by Bel-
gium, which ought to be equally secured by the fortresses
on its side of the rivers ; besides, it may appeal to the fra-
ternity which unites it to North Brabant, whose agricultural
and commercial interests, u well as the religious opinions of
almost all its inhabitants, are opposed to the idea of incor-
poration with Holland. The Note concludes by represent-
ing that the urgent nature of the circumstances obliges the
Commissioners to request a decisive answer, which they may
transmit without delay to the Representatives of the Belgian
Nation.]
(Signed) " SYLVAIN VAN DE WEYER.

The next document read was the following :
" St a,—We received yesterday your letter of ----,
accompanying the conclusion of the Report of the Central
Section. This proposal, with which we were not acquaint-
ed, is wholly conformable to the idea which I had to sub-
mit to you, viz.—to leave to the Congress the difficult task
of choosing a Sovereign. The Congress will then appoint
Commissioners to treat with the five Powers. I see, in the
same project of the Central Section, that the Commissioners
of the Congress will be also authorised to treat of the Ter-
ritorial and Commercial questions. The Note expresses
the hope, that as the presence of the Commissioners in Lon-
don is no longer necessary, they will soon be recalled. It
then adds, " The Government has doubtless received our
letters and the Note on the limits. Since then our situation,
with respect to the Congress, is not changed.
"The official mode of communication between it and us is
"Myst fixed. All is done through the medium of Prince
Talleyrand and Lord Palmerston, who had told us to hold
ourselves in readiness. However there have been three con-
ferences this week since the delivery of our note on the
armistice, and the raising of the blockade ; but we were not
present at them.
" Yesterday Lord Palmerston read to us, on the part of
the Congress, a protocol on the observance of the armistice,
which protocol, he added, would be forwarded the same night
to the Hague and Brussels.
" The Government and the Diplomatic Committee should
know, that (except the note of the 4th), they have not been
heard or officially consulted on the subject, and consequently
the contents of the protocol, which are known to us only by
being repeatedly read to us, must be considered as the result
of a joint discussion. According to Lord Palmerston, what
has hitherto hindered the Congress from entering into any di-
rect communication with us, is thievery question of the Scheldt
first of all to decide. However such a state of things cannot
long be continued, and we propose, as we told Lord Palmer-
ston yesterday, to ask—
" 1- When and how the discussion of the Note of the
6th may be entered upon ; or
" 2. If the Congress, which has invited us, now thinks it
of no use that we should be heard, as it knows, by our an-
swer to the protocol of the 20th, and by our note of the 4th,
the opinion of the Government? It is, however, indispen-
sible that the Government should prepare, as soon as pos-
sible, to treat the question of the debt of the colonies—not to
conclude an agreement with Holland, but to enable itself to
discuss what part of the debt Belgium would take upon it-
self, and also to offer pecuniary indemnities for Maastricht,
Flanders, and Luxemburg—territories which we shall not
obtain without sacrifices, and for the possession of which
we have no territorial indemnities to offer. The Belgian
commissioners, either we, if we are to remain at London,
or those whom the Congress shall appoint, must be furnish-
ed with positive instructions. The data which I have are
not sufficient, and, besides, we are not authorisedAo
anything of the kind. We have learned, from animßH
Issapropose
rity, that Holland has already communicated to Congress
its ideas respecting the debt. It is, therefore, absolutely ne-
cessary that Belgium should take its resolution. Such, sir, is
the state of affairs. The Congress having been engaged the,
whole week on the raising of the blockade has not been able to
take up the question of the limits. We wait till then to give
upon each of these points a memorial explanatory of the note
of the 6th of which send copies to-morrow to the five Pleni-
potentiaries. You will doubtless find this course of proceed-
ing very slow, and ill agreeing with the impatience of the
nation, but such difficulties cannot be removed in a day.
The Committee and the Government may be convinced that
we do not lose a moment.
(i_i_cd) " SYLVAIN VAN DE WIIY211."
" P.S. we have just left Prince Talleyrand, who has ex-
plained to us why the Congress has not yet entered into a
direct communication with us. We are, in this ma, on
the same footing as the Dutch Commissioners. Cow-
gross desires to be provided with all the documents before

it discusses die points in dispute. Meantime, we shall
communicate our Wm and rights to each of the Plenipo-
tentiaries."
After the reading of these documents.. debate ensued, in
which—

the sovereign onallilam.
Several members spoke against the sending of Commis-
sioners, as proposed by the central section; and on the
question being put, it was rejected by 108 to 63.
M. Brouckere, Minister of Finance, presented a new
Budget, in which the total expenditure is estimated at
21,193,340 florins._

BRUSSZLS, Jan. 14.—We have just received a letter
from a person of distinction at Munich, who has the vatic
at Court. He informs us that the Bing of Bavaria had re-
ceived the day before (the 6th) the news that Prince Oda,
bis son, had been proposed for the Times at Baliim, and
from the number of his partisans, it was labs* ha wad
succeed.

" I can assure you," adds our correspondent " that our
worthy Sovereign will never consent to Owe his son at the
throne of Belgium even if the Powers should agree, without
having the consent of the dispossessed family. It is probable
that no Prince, accept
who has little respect for him, will
this Crown, and that no other will be able to keep it. Our
Court is, besides, aware that the enemies of Belgium have
tho preponderance in the councils of government, and that
they impel it to extreme measures, irreconcilable with the
interests of the European Cabinets, and which must either
soon ruin the country, or place it under a yoke more heavy
than that which it has broken, but with a great diminution
of its resources and its riches."

General Douglas and suite arrived here yesterday from
the Hague, and set out this morning for London with dis-
patches for his government.—Brvue/s Papers, Jam. 15.

REFORM IN THE PRACTICE OP THE COURT.
The Lunn CHANCELLOR, upon taking his seat this mooing,
statt..l. ilia, it was usual for two blasters in Chancery to attend the
Court during Term time. This practice he found had arisen, and was
still continued, on the mound of ancient custom, bat was, In point of
fact, productive of no benefit whatever to suitors i and when he coosi.
tiered the inconvenience and delay that might arise to parties by the
nbsence of those Masters from their respective Chemise's, he thought
that the plactiee should he almondnued. He led therellue made such
arrangements on the subjects, as he hoped would save these honourable
and learned persons much trouble. His Honour the Vice-Chancellor'
and the blaster of the Bolls usually attended the Lord Chancellor on the
first day of term ; and these honourable and leaned individuals be con.
mit
sidered quite sufficient for all purposes on that da , and therefore
the attendance of the Masters, even on that day, be dispensed
with. But there were particular occasions upon will the attendance
of Masters of Chancery in the Court would be desitidgt ; and to meet
the necessity arising out of titose occasions, he had arranged that'
two Masters should serve through the Term upon those oc-
casions; and there being eleven Masters in Chatteriy, it would seldonro
come to the individual turn of those gentlemen. He ed also to state
that he had desired inquiries to be made with respect to the *ay busi-
ness was conducted In the Six Clerks* office, and iold any practice be
found to be in existence is that office, which was InediCtive of no public
utility, however ancient the custom might be out df which it arose—he
should endeavour to make such arrangements on -the subject as hi
misted woe:ltele satisfaction. Having stated what he had done, ant
what he in to do, he wished to ask the gentlemen of the sea if
they had any objection to the proposed change which he intended tol
make in the business of the Court, or whether they saw any Inconveni-
ence that was likely to arise from the change.
The Summon GENERAL said that he thought the permed an.
tangement a moat desirable one. He, however, supposed that his Lord.
ship did not intend to make any order upon the subject.
Lotto CHANCELLOR—Oh no; any Lord Chancellor who comes after
me may have the Masters in Court again.

' Thia was an indictment for selling fruit in the streets during divine
setvice on a Sunday, in the parish of St. Luke, Middlesex, and was
preferred by the overseers of the palish.
The defendant pleaded guilty to the charge, and said that he was
induced to commit the offence from distress. Under dime circum-
stances. he hoped that the sentence of the Court would not be severe.
Mr. Justice PARSE said, that that was not the time to address the
Court in mitigation. Any thing he had to say on that subject should'
be deferred until he was called up for judgment. But the probability
was, that if he did not offend in future, he would hear nothing owe of

DELICSAL V. NAYLOR.
Mr. Sergeant Joss, moved for more time in this case, on the fol-
lowing grounds :—The plaintiff bad brought an action against the de-
fendant, for the recovery of several billets, nominally valued at 3,4601.
which were in the hands of the defendant's agents in Lima. The action
wa‘ stopped to be referred, an agreement being entered into.; that should
an award be made in favour of the plaintiff, the defendant should not be
gubjected to any imaginary charge for the billets, but that he should be
allowed time to obtain them from Lima on paying 3,0001 into Court.
The time had expired, and the Learned Counsel submitted certain do-
cuments that proved the billets were on board a ship of war coming to
England. Letters had been sent to effect an instance, and the billets
had been put on board a ship of war, as the mat recurs mode of con-
veyance.—Rule granted.

This was a case in which lb. Plaintiff sought damages for a breash

m sea in substantial repair.
Mr. CROWDSa stated that the plaintiff bad taken a farm and grounds
in the county of Surrey tithe defendant, who entered into covenant to
keep the same in good and substantial repair, and give thieraintiff a
right of sporting. The plaintiff, however, had been old to file a
bill in Chancery to get a lease, and after be had obtained t, he found
that there existed no right of sporting, and he could not prevail upon
the defendant to put the farm in repair, according to the stipulation, al-
though he was himself obliged by the covenant to keep it in Inch
state.
Witnesses were called, who proved that amain repairs had bees mode,
but that they were not substantial, and of comae not within tha.ampa
of the contract. If the plaintiff intended to sport' he must pomp Ile
game as well as the ammunition.
