THE HAGUE, OCT. 3.
SECOND CHAMBER OF THE STATES-GENERAL.
SITTING OF OCT. 2.

Seventy-two Members t.
After some debate, and the rejection of the proposal of M. Sytxams,
the Session was closed by the Minister of the Interior with the following
HIGH AND MIGHTY Loans,
The King has commissioned me to close the present Session of ,our
High Alightinesses. The extraordinary assembly of the National
Militia rendered this Session necessary. It is, besides, chiefly for
the purpose of examining two questions of great extent and Importance.
The King being informed of the wish expressed by your High Mighti.
nesses on this occasion, and desiring to take the most suitable means to
fulfil this wish in a speedy and regular manner, has appointed a State
Commission to draw up those legal enactments which must be necessary
to make those changes in;the fundamental law, and in the existing rela-
tions between the two great divisions of the kingdom, which the interest
of the whole, and each of the parts require. The time which will intervene
between this and the approaching Ordinary Session of your High Might'.
nesses will be employed in the labours of this Commission. It will
also be employed in considering of means to improve the finances of
the kingdom, and to support public credit. Supported by the sincerity
of his intentions, and the justice of his cause, the King will leave no
means untried to put an end to the disorders which affect a part of
the kingdom, and, above all, vigorously to defend and protect the pro.
winces which have hitherto remained free from them. Carry, Gentle-
men, those assurances to your homes, as well as the testimony of the
satisfaction which, in the midst of so much sorrow, the King has felt at
the evidences of your patriotism and loyalty, which have been manifested
in this Assembly, as well as at the calmness which has prevailed du-
ring your deliberations. In the name of the King, I declare this extra-
ordinary Session of the States-General to be ended and dosed.
ANTWIRP, Ocr. 2—Prince Frederick has arrived here this morn-
ing with his head-quarters: General Count Heilegers has joined the
Prince's troops.

Battsszt.s, OCT. 4—An officer of the garrison of Charleroy. sent
by the Commandant, has arrived here this morning, in order to obtain
of the Provisional Government permission to go to Prince Frederick, to
give him an account of the state of that fortress. A Deputation has
arrived here from Courtray, to bring to the Provisional Government the
Act of adherence of the Permanent Committee. Mr. Barthols is at this
moment at Brussels, whither he has come to ask of the Provisional Go-
vernment money and arms to complete the corps of volunteers, which he
has begun to Ann at Routers and the adjacent communes. Mr.
Barthols set out to-day for Bruges, whence he will return with his corn.
pany as soon as it shall be formed. M. Ducpetiaux is still in close
confinement at Antwerp. It is not true that he has been sent on board
the Eurydice frigate, as a Dutch Journal stated. A great number of
young men of good families at Brussels have united to form a free
company, under the command of the Marquess de Chastities. They
equip themselves at their own expense, and will, i; is said, set out this
morning, as it seems, for Tennonde. Eight hundred volunteers, and
Colonel Mayard, with some cannon, went the day before yesterday to
Vilvoored, which the troops had evacuated. The following night they
attacked, a league beyond Vilvoord, the Dutch rear-guard, and took se-
venteen horses and three horsemen. The position of the troops was a
large beyond Vilvoord, and does not seem to be changed to-day. There
has been a sanguinary affair at Tennonde between the inhabitants and
the troops. Several men were killed on both sides, and the town was
on the point of being taken by the citizens, when the 15,000 Infancy
who passed through Wellebrock, as we stated yesterday, arrived to
reinforce the garrison, and restore for the present the ancient order
of things. A letter from Cambray says, that several Dutch
officers and quartet.ma.sters had been stopped there, who were
going to carry away the military chest, which is said to contain a large
sum. In the citadel of Tournay, which surrendered yesterday, there
were 200 pieces of cannon, a great quantity of ammunition, and a mili-
tary chest, containing 300,000 florins. The inhabitants of Banillon
have taken the citadel, and keep the whole garrison shut up in the bar-
racks. The garrison of Arlcm having arrived at Neuf Chateau, was
lodged in the houses of the citizens, who tequired the soldiers to deliver
up their arms, which was done without opposition. The tricoloured flag
is flying in the town hall of Diekirch. The citizens have taken for their
motto, Union ciForce. Atßenieckand a part of the line, the custom-house
officers have quitted their posts. The fortress of blatienbourgli has
hoisted the flag of Brabant—the Governor surrendered. The fortress
contains a great quantity of powder. A capitulation has been concluded
between the town and the citadel of Namur. Lieut.-pen. Van Geen
has consented to evacuate the latter; the hour and the day are not
yet fixed. The Magistrates of Namur have, in consequence of this
capitulation, resolved to send Deputies to the Provisional Govern.
ment, to concert the necessary measures for the execution of the capitu-
lation. The Provisional Government has published a Decree for
the formation of the City Guard of Brussels, which is to be called
" Garde Urbaine Bruxelloise ;" to wear the ancient colours of Brabant
—red, yellow, and black; to be composed of all the citizens settled at
Brussels, from 18 to 50 years of age. It is to consist of 8 battalions of 6
companies each, 14.1 men and officers to a company.

GHENT, OCT. 4.—A letter from the Hague, of Oct. 2, says—" This
Imorning, at 10 o'clock, all the Belgic Members of the two Chambers of
the States-General, and M. Van Susse Van Ysselt, assembled, in conse-
quence of an invitation from the govcrament, in the Hall of the First
Chamber. It is said that this Assembly debated on the choice of a
Commission which should, under the Prince nf Orange, consider 'of
means to effect the pacification of the provinces. At noon the Second
Chamber mct and discussed the proposal of M. Sytsama, which was re-
jected by 47 to 10. The two Chambers afterwards joined, and the ex-
traordinary Session was closed by the Minister of the Interior, who said
in his speech that the King had appointed a Commission to draw up a
Project of Law for the separation of the two parts of the kingdom.
I hear that Messrs. Van Crombrugghe, Domains, Thierry, and Ga-
lathe, make part of this Commission."
