FOREIGN INTELLIGENCA

A Flanders 11101 brought us last night Brussels Papers to the 11th
September. Matters may be said to remain Masts quo. The follow.
ing are extracts:—

LTROX THE GAZETTE DES TAT/ HASA
BREssEts, Sept. B.—His Royal Highness Prince Frederick left his
head-quarters at Vilvorde yesterday evening, and went to Matinee. All
the troops which have bivouacked for some days at Velvorde, left that
place yesterday for Matinee, Duffel Lierre. His Majesty's frigate the
Sumatra, which lately ran aground before Antwerp, is gone to pieces,
and will be totally lost.
BRUSSELS, Sept. 9.—The Deputies of our Provinces, who are
assembled in this city, have resolved to go to the Hague to he present
li at the opening of the Second Chamber of the States General, and take
part in the deliberations. We highly approve of this rewind's, which
proves the wisdom, the moderation, and the laudable sentiments of our
Deputies. In fact, the States General being convoked, it is in the
Royal authority, and in that assembly that legal order ia placed 1 and
it is from that centre of power only that good citizens are to expect the
measures which the situation of the country requires. An Honourable
Member of the States General said yesterday, with firmness, " When.
my conscience makes it my duty, I am in opposition, but never in
revolt."

" PROCLAMATION.

" The Staff and Council of the Burgher Guard have just appointed
a Committee of Defence, which is alone entrusted with the direction of
the military works. It is, therefore, forbidden to cut down the trees in
the Boulevards and other public promenades, without the authority of
the said Committee, the members of which will continue to direct the
raising of barricadoes in the points where they may be judged ne-
cessary.

" VA NDRR L I N DEN D'HOOOVORST."

The Hague Journal says,....lt appears that the Members of the Se-
cond Chamber, now at Brussels, an not disposed to attend the States
General at the Hague, and this because they are afraid of insult or 11l
usage. This fear is wholly chimerical, for no Belgian has been insulted
here t they go alone without any danger to places of public resort. Mr.
&assert himself had not to complain of anything unpleasant during his
last visit to this town. All that a Brussels Paper has said about W.
treatment practised against the Belgians here is false and fictitious.
ANTWERP, Sept. S.—His Royal Highness Prince Frederick has
just arrived here. It is very desirable that the ships of war should be
removed from the Scheldt ; their appearance has injured commerce, and
nobody sees any necessity for their presence. Already several ships
from Cowes, that are bound for this city, are gone to Hamburgh. Our

city, so devoted and so calm, which daily affords the spectacle of all
hands and all hearts concurring to maintain public nanquillity, objects
to any anr.ed intervention, as useless and fatal to its Interests. The fol.
lowing petition has been eagerly signed by the most distinguished Ci-
tizens of Antwerp t

" TO HIS MAJESTY.

" St az—We have learned with regret that application has been
made to your Majesty tending to obtain a separation of the interests of
the Southern and Northern Provinces. The fear that our silence may
be construed into assent, makes it our duty to state respectfully to your
Majesty that we by no means participate in this wish. Fifteen years•
experience has proved to us, in the dearest manner, that it is to the na-
tional and free exchange of productions that reciprocal prosperity is to
be ascribed. The advantages which navigation has derived from the
commerce with the colonies, the markets which those colonies daily
open more and more to our manufactures, are an itrefragable proof that
any separation would be fatal not only to this province, but the trade and
manufactures of all Belgium. Fully persuaded of this great truth, they
vesture to represent it to your Majesty, with the respect and =Mame
inspired by a King who desires the happiness of his people, sod will
seek by all means to promote the welfare of the nation."
