BELGIUM.

The following are extracts from the Belgic papers of Monday, which i
arrived last night :-
44 Bat/seem, Nov. 28.—The National Congress. in its yesterday's
sitting, adopted a law relative to the publication of its decrees, but as
what is the plainest is often least thought of, the Assembly fagot to
determine the mode of publishing its acts preceding yesterday's sitting,
and it will probably be obliged to pass a special law for this purpose,
since the decree of yester.'ay cannot have a retrospective effect.
" We had joyfully inserted the news spread here sod at Liege, of
a check experienced by the Dutch troops of the corps under the Duke of
Saxe-Weimar. The Belgians„ it was said, had taken 2,000 prisoners,
and a great number of cannon. There is no truth whatever in these
statement.i since the Provisional Ooveniment does not condescend to
tell us a word on the subject: it seems that there exists, with respect to
the news from our armies, an organized system of deception, we know
not to what purpose. However, we are not far from seizing the threads
of this intrigue, and being able to give to the public some information
on this subject, which will surprise it.
" Our civic guard is threatened with a measure which has spread
alarm throughout Brunch. It is sail to be intended to disarm it, and
to give its muskets to other collie which will go to join the army. It
lis certain, that we are indebted to the civic guard for the tranquillity
I which we have long enjoyed in this capital, and that to deprive the
guard of the means of maintaining that tranquillity, by taking away
its arms, is risking not only our peace, but even our existence. The
enemy at home is no less to be feared than the foreign enemy. The
latter can only conquer a few leagues of ground, while the other may
in an instant overthrow the state and all private fortunes.
" What is the Prince of Orange now to us ? He is proscribed with
his whole race : it is nothing to us whether he lives or dies, nor need
we care whether the justification of the conduct of that Prince by 111.
Lehon in the Congress is satisfactory or incomplete. It appear,
however, that this prince of Orange is still offended with certain
persons who have made him commit suicide, though he is is very
good health. This news, of little importance in itself, comes from
that manufactory, the productions of which we are carefully watching.
" Almost all the Bes employed in the higher departments who
were at the Hague have returned to Brussels. It is with the greatest
difficulty that they succeeded in getting into Belgium. Several of them
have employed seven or eight days en the road from the Hague to Brus-
sels, and have been obliged to lame in Holland their wives and children.
They relate that latterly the Belgians no Imes dare to show themselves
in public places, or even to quit their bosses. They all expressed the
greatest joy at having returned to Brunk
" ANTWERP, Nov. 27.
" General .Nellon and Major Hetode are gone to the Campine. Geo.
Mellioet is gone towards alaestricbt.
" LIEGE, Nov. 17.
" We have learnt nothing positive respeedns the aajeracct between
our troops and those of the Duke of Base Wer. Ills morning, at
tat o'clock, no report ha reached the military authorities. It la aimed,
however, that many wounded have bees beau& Into Maastricht*
" The Prussian troops ammehied In the provinces of the Mins and
Westphalia amount to may Wile am It was by a mistake that they
were stated to amount to WOO.

" BRUSSELS. Nov. 23.
" A British Cabinet messenger, who arrived bare the day before yes.
terday from London, with despatches for the Provisional Ooverionent,
set out again yes!,rday at noun ik it It despatches fur London-
" Some journals have announced a battle near Yenloo between our
troops and the enemy. This news is false. Out troops have taken a
position, but no en:_agement has occurred.°
" We find that the King of Holland has accepted the armistice pro.
posed by the live l'ov'ers, and gave orders on the 23d and 24th to the
Dutch troops to suspend hostilities by sea and land, to raise the blockade
every where, and to evactiAte all the places which were not occupied by
the Dutch before the Treaty of the 30th of May, 1814. The city
of Antwerp is among the number.
" Nlcusures will be imniediately taken to regulate the frontiers. The
Belgian and the Dutch 0, vernments will each send two commissioners
to the spot. These commissioners are not yet known.
" The struogth of the Prussian garrison of Luxembourg has been
exaggerated. It consists of 24 companies, the strongest of wnich is 170
men ; but it will be shortly reinforced. The 30th Regiment is to leave
it, but will be replaced by two others, which will increase the gar-
rison by about 1,000 mcn.-- Journal r!, la Beluiquc anti Vrai Potriole

" • The Poliliquc gives tlic tollowing accounts of the moventems of
the Dutch. The ttoops under the Prince of Saxe Weimar intended to
proceed to l'enloo. On arriving at 111aesyck, the Duke received notice
from General Dibbers of the armistice concluded between Belgium and
Holland, and returned, u we are assured, to the position which he
occupied on the 2!st in the evening. Thus much, however, is certain,
that he is at this moment at Wecrt, halt way between Maastricht and
Bois-le.Duc."
