BRUSSELS PAPERS RECEIVED THIS DAT.

ANTWERP, Blev 20.—NotwIthstandlng the tranquillity which pre-
vails In the city, some emigrations have taken place. The worksof the
trench have been carried to within 100 metres of the lunette. General
Chasse yesterday sent a flag of truce into the city, to announce that
unless the works were stopped, be should be obliged to bombard;
because the terms of the agreement were violated. Orders were imme-
diately given to call in the workmen. The Regent's order of the day
was read to the troops, to put them in mind of the terms of the agree.
cunt. There is every reason to hope that things will go no farther...
Independents.

The works about the citadel were yesterday suspended for a moment ;
but it is affirmed that they were resumed very late in the evening,
Four or five mortars, with their carriages, were yesterday sent out of
the Malines Gate.

Bausszts.blee 21.—The Secret Committee of the Congress sat
;e•tudav from one o'clock to half-past tire; 170 members were pre.
.eat. Nothing of what passed has transpired.
Lord Ponsonby is not expected in Brussels till late to-day or
:o.morrow.

A Cabinet messenger arrived yesterday afternoon at six o'clock from
Leaden, with despatches for Mr. Abercromby. Immediately after his
stab al, all the English legation was set to work, to draw up despatches,
to be sent to London ; and the messenger received orders to wait.
We ate ignorant of the conteuts of the despatches brought to Mr.
Abercromby ; but the tidily in the return of Lord Ponsonby to Brussels,
le attributed to the arrival of M. Van Zuylen Van Nyevett at London.
Be is said to have full powers from the King of Holland; and Lord
Ponsonby has doubtless been desirous of knowing what Mr. Van Zuylen
Ileught. The messenger above-mentioned is Mr. Littlewood : be says
gave orders at Dover for the packet which is to bring Lad
P. rtenby.
ANTWERP, MAY 20.—Tae Dutch evacuated the Lunette of St.
L4urent on the 13th ; but they have not destroyed the works they had
r...,:et.41 there: our batteries continue to rise, as if by enchantment : the
'oaks were touch advanced last night : all will be finished on the 20th,
the guns fur ricochet firing may be placed on the batteries.
la-zest:men, May 18.—in the night of the 11th of this month, a
+Acre was circulated in the town of Orlon, that the garrison of Lux-
",l•••ttz hailmarched out, in order to disarm the civic guard. It was a
',he Alum ; however, every body was on foot in a few moments. The
Belgian troops retired to the heights round the town, while the public
.trietion.tries hastily packed up their most valuable effects, and their

to tib post.
The Emancipation says : " The Duke of %axe Weimar has just
.b,cri notice, that he was going to carry into effect, the military
occupation of the Communes. within four leagues of Luxemburg,
-ecenling to pretended conventions of the confederation. Many corn-
"'tints, alarmed at these threats, and wishing to avoid the execution of
send to Luxembourg, to offer their submission. The inhabitants
tits summons that' have received, to surrender what arum they may
44 in their possession ; they carry them in themselves, and give
ancquivoc.al proof of their despondency."
The Emancipation is mistaken ; nothing of the kind has been an.
re.:nc.Z, and if the Civic Guards for four leagues were to be dis.
'tined, the measure of which the public knows nothing, would not be
ozearar, to treaties ; and might, perhaps, be called for, by the
.rdihary rules, for the preservation of all fortresses.
