LATEST INTELLIGENCE FROM BRUSSELS.
(RIECEIVED LAST NIGHT.)
iituSsas Papers of the 4th of September, received last night, are of
reat importance.—The Deputation to Brussels have published an &c-
-ount of their mission to the Hague. In their discussions with the
tiing,.he did not so much question thepepresentations of the Deputies,
as object to the being obliged to act under compulsion ; and he con-
:ended that the theories of the Deputies respecting Ministerial respon-
.ibility, dta could not be established without a change the fundamental
.aw, in concert with the States-General, convoked with double the usual
number of Members." He set too much value on the honour of
the Royal dignity, to appear to yield like one to whom a demarrlarolual
be addressed with a pistol to his throat." His Majesty said" that it was
necessary first of all that the Princes, his sons, should enter Brussels at
need of his troops, and thus put an end to the apparent state of
constraint to which he could not yield, without giving a per-
nicious example; to all the towns of the kingdom." The desire of his
Majesty to have it thought that he did not yield to force, did not
make any impression on the Belgians,who seem to be well aware of
the advantage of negotiating with arms in their hands. The Prince of
Orange was allowed to enter Brussels only as a private individual. A
Commission has been named, under the title of Organic Commission,
for arranging the alterations of government now become necessary. The
Prince was to be the medium of communication between the Belgians
and the King ; and it was stated that he was about to set out for the
Hague with a proposal, the object of which is to require that Holland
and Belgium form two distinct administrations under a Federative Go-
vernment. As there is no prospect of the Belgians consenting to any
other terms, the King, whatever his reluctance, will, we have no doubt, be
forced to yield. Forte is out of the question. It would appear that theEing
would have preferred delaying the arrangements till the Burgher Guards
had laid down their arms. There is great anxiety manifested by the
Prince of Orange that the people of Brussels should not believe that he
ever contemplated entering their town by force. The civic authorities,
too, are anxious to tranquillise the inhabitants. In short, the people
are clearly too powerful to be ;trilled with. The following are ex-
tracts :

BRUSSELS, SEPT. 2.—His R. H. the Prince of Orange made his
entry yesterday into this city, which has been for this week the scene of
so much agitation and disorder. The Prince left the troops which ac.
companied him so far, at Velvord ; he entered Brussels alone with a few
officers, trusting to the loyalty and honour or the population of this
city. In passing through the streets to his palace, he spoke to
several posts of the City Guard, and to many citizens whom he recog-
nized. He declared himself to he among the Belgians, and assured them
of his affection for them. He put them in mind that he had shed his
blood at Waterloo for the national independence, and declared that he
was ready to do it again. He said, with emotion, " that the King, his
father, was also the father of the people." When he arrived before the
Town Hall, the Prince, waving his hat, exclaimed" Vlve k Roi." This
truly national cry was repeated by the people, who also exclaimed
several times," Vive le Prince." His Royal Highness, after having sent
to the troops in the park orders to retire, proceeded to his Palace, where
the Civic Guard Immediately placed guards. History affords few
examples of a feeling so noble, so generous as that which induced the
Prince to leave the troops, at the head of which he was, and come
alone amidst the population of this city. There is, in this resolu-
tion. something so exalted, so national, so worthy of the illustrious
house of Nassau, that on seeing the plume of the Prince in the midst
of an immense multitude, it was impossible not to feel a profound sen-
timent of admiration and enthasiasm. It la now for the population of
Brussels, and especially of our brave City Guard, to answer to this
confidence. Every body feels what decorum' if not duty, requires of
us. Is it not evident that our position is changed ? and how could
we delay to manliest In some striking manner the sentiments which at.
tack us to this dynasty, which has certainly listened to the wishes, and
whose interests are so closely united with those of the nation ? A part
of the garrison of Arnheim, consisting of two battalions of infantry, set
out on the 30th for the southern provinces. It will be conveyed to
Liege in waggons. The cuirassiers also left that town on the 90th for
Illaewricht. On the 29th of August, the 9th and 10th divisions of the
National Guard passed through Antwerp on their way to Utrecht. We
learn that large bodies of infantry and cavalry are on their march from
Amsterdam, Leyden, Haulem, Deventer, and other places.
Bat:smut, SEPT. 3.—When the Prince of Orange arrived on the
Ist of September, at the foot of the staircase of the Town-hall, among
other things which so well express the noble and generous sentiments by
which he is actuated, he said to the members of the Regency, " I am
charmed to see you, and be among you all. Did you think I was com-
ing to besiege your city ? No, gentlemen, I am come as a peace-
maker. You know that I was Colonel-General of the Communal
Guard ; shall I call myself Colonel-General of the Burgher
Guard ? The troops are to fight with the enemy, and not
with the faithful subjects of the King. The King loves his subjects;
he has no wish to see the blood of the Belgians spilt. You have a good
King, who loves you, Gentlemen. Cry with me Vive le Roi.' " Yes.
terday the Prince of Orange left his Palace alone, and walked in the I
Park, where be spoke to many persons, giving to each marks of that
affability and kindness which are hereditary virtues in the house of
Nassau. When we see the Prince Royal, the faithful depository of
the intentions and sentiments of the King, thus mingle wish the dui.
seas, declaring unreservedly that his August Father will do everything
possible.—everything that the fundamental laws permits to satisfy the
wishes of our fellow-citizens, how can we avoid being persuaded that
we are near the limitation of the unhappy agitations to which our
city is given up ? We conjure all good citizens—all fathers of families
—all the ardent youth, who have learned in the course of their studies
that only disasters are to be expected from civil dissensions; we conjure
them in the name of the country, in the name of the city, whose present
and future interests are so deeply concerned, to do all that depends on
them, to do all In their power to calm the public mind, and to dis-
sipate prejudices which cannot have any advantageous results for the
country. The reply of the King to the Deputies of Liege, as stated
by them in their report, was in every respect similar to that given to
the Deputies from Brussels. Liege continues to be tranquil, and we
do not har that any misfortune has occurred. The commercial and
burgher guard continue to render the greatest services.
