BRUSSELS, JUNE s.

On the sth his Excellency the Minister of the Inte.
riot', in his Majesty's name, closed the Session of the
States-Genet...o, at the Hague. His Excellency, in his
di ,course on the occasion, congratulated the Assembly
on the additional proofs which the Session had afforded
of the intimate union between the States-General and
Lis maie,ty. He hoped the most beneficial results frt,m
the financial measures adopted in the course of the S9s•
,i„n ; and mentioning their address to his Majesty, re•
quebting a reversion of the corn laws, he assured them
would examine this important that the King subject
with all the ?mention that it so especially deserved.

',Poets final Amsterdam say, that news having been
iect;ved there of a scarcity in Spain, the prices of grain

Id'e risen.

The charge in the French Ministry will not, it is snp-1
• o•ecl, he confined to the secession of M. CIIATEAuI
?NAND, but that others of his party will also retire.—
Deir successors are nut yet announced, but it is ru-
moured that the Duke DECAZE and Prince POLIGNAC
are likely to become the colleagues of M. YHA:mg,
whose triumph seems complete, notwithstanding tl:e
failure of his finai;cial measure in the Chamber of Peers
_a measure equally dictated by wisdom, sound policy,
and integritY• The following private letter from Paris
contains some sensible observations on the recent change
in the French Ministry:

" PANS, Juwe 7.

4, All uncertainty is at an end. AI. de Villele, like the god An-
thzus, only touched the earth to acquire fresh vigour. M. &
Chateaubriand, accused of having promoted the rejection of the
Law for the reduction of the Reines, is dismisssed from the
Ministry, and M. de Villele fulfils, ad interim, the duties of
the Minister for Foreign Affairs. This victory is particularly
remarkable. inasmuch as it plates in a strong point of view a
truth not hitherto suspected—this is, that the influence of Eng.
land is much greater than the influence of Russia in the French
Cabinet at present. M. de Villele, entirely devoted to British
policy, has found support both in the King and Monsieur, while
M. de Chateaubriand, notwithstanding the united support of
Pozzo di 13orgo, the most zealous Ultras, the Clergy, and par-
nenlarly the Archbishop of Paris, and the Bishop of Hermopolis,
the Grand Master of the University, formerly the Abbe Fray-
snous, has not been able to get the better of his rival. We
may here remind the reader of the saying of Henry the Fourth
to his gardener, who complained that no flowers would grow at
Fontainebleau. Plant gaseous,' said the King, they flourish eper.y.
sine Many intrigues are now going on to ascertain who will be
the successor of M. de Chateaubriand. M. de Montmorency, the
Prince de Polignac, and M. de Martignac, are all spokes of. The
great majority of the Chamber of Peers seem much disappointed,
and there is every reason to believe that they are preparing to
m4lte other attacks."

Letters have been received from Brazil of the 18th of
April ; they do not bring any political information of
consequence, but mention that all was quiet there.

It will be tecollected that some months ago a party
of the White inhabitants of Barbadoes, (of the very
lowest order of Whites we hope and presume), not only
created a riot, and pulled down to the ground a Chapel
at Barbadoes, but issued hand-bills in a tone of exultation at their
illegal triumph. The Governor, on the other hand, put forth a strong
Proclamation on this audacious proceeding ; and his MAJESTY'S Ali-
:inters have since, very properly, ordered the Chapel to be rebuilt at
the public expense. A new occasion of violence has since arisen. Four
hundred of his Iklaatsrr's subjects, freemen, but excluded by the laws
of the Island hum certain civil right s,ltave in most modest and humble
terms expressed to his MAJESTY'S Representative their hope, that
at some future time their claims to participate with their fellow.
subjects in civil rights will be duly taken into consideration. The
small Par Aausene of Barbadoes becomes indignant at this; and " in
the most positive and unequivocal manner denies that the free
coloured inhabitants of the Island are entitled to any 'eights and
privileges, except those granted to them by the Colonial Legisla-
ture." Nay, it is added, that " the continuance even of these rights
roust depend entirely on their good conduct."
