BRUSSELS, NOVEMBER S.

We learn that the Prince of Broglio, Bishop of,
Ghent, has lately sent from his present place Ofl
abode in France, a protest against the legality of the
summons which has been issued against him by the
President of the Court of Assizes at Brussels.

It is supposed that we may flatter oursekres that
the concerns of the Church, upon which negociations
are carrying on at Rome, will soon be definitively
regulated by the•conclusion et a new Concordat.

Several officers of cavalry, who are on half-pay,
have lately received commissions for the East Indies.

HELDER. RIOVEMBER 4.

His Majesty our revived Sovereign and his Royal
Highness Prince Frederick, have been to this place
to view the new and asteni►hing works that have
been carrying on for the improvement of the port ;
the greet port, the sluice, the dock, &c. are of the
grandest enterprise ever executed. 'His Majesty, ac.
companied by the Minister for Public Works, in_
spected the whole in the minutest detail, the docks,
the steam-engine, and the immense flood-gates, acc,
through which several vessels passed in his Majesty's
presence. His Majesty also went along the grand
quay of the port to inspect the canal which is dig:
ging and the works, or dikes for damming the braet,
called Koegras, alter which he returned to the Hague.

The Paris Papers of Thursday have arrived since
our last. The Speech of the KING of FRANdIt, on
opening the Session of the two Chambers, will be
found in a preceding columns It is en important and
interesting document—as much so, perhaps. as any
previous prozuction of the same kind since the resto-
ration of Lows XVIII. to the throne of his sneer
,tors. On the subject of the external relations of
France, it is particularly deserving of attention.—
The Conventions concluded in Hifi, being theist
we presume, respecting the liquidation of the
debts owing by France to Foreign ['fivers and their
subjects, having presented certain results which'
were not foreseen, a new negotiation had, it is stated,
besune necessary ; and every thing leads his Majesty
to hope that ie its issue will be favourable, and that
conditions far above the means of his people will be
succeeded by others more conformable to equity, to
moderation, and to the possibility of sacrifices which his
peepte support with a constancy that gives them new
claims to his gratitude and to the esteem of all nations."
In other words, if we understand his MAJZSTY, the
Allied Sovereigns are expected to abate theii. just
claims, or rather the claims of their subjects on
France, *lid allow her to escape all further taxation,
whilst every other country in Europe is loaded with
imposts to repair the consequences of her system of
plunder. It is but barely decent. we think, in Louts,
and, with a view to the success of hi 3 negotiation,
marvellously ill advised, to offs r any thing in inopu-
Cation of the equity or modcredion 04i:inventions, sn,
deliberately lormed on existing facts as those in tines-
itoo• were. The'debts due toforeign subjects, and shpt;.

ILe t.s be discharged, st ere of a fixi d nature, and their
amount was long aguknown tothe French Government.
Claims founded upon such debts canhot surely be
represented as among the 1, unforeseen results" of a
promise under which they were to be liquidated.
Another, arid we apprehend no insignificant portion
of the demands now murmur. d :it by ihe Court of
Franee, arc on account of 'contributions ard other
spnlations and robberies inflicted upon foreign coun•
tries by French Generals and political agents within
the last ten years. That demands for redress and
reparation, however moderate, on behalf of the multi-
tudes aggrieved through such cruelties as these, should
exasperate the passions of those by whom they were per-
petrated, is much more likely than that any appeal.
however jest, should rousetheirhumanii y ora wake their
conscience. But that Ministers ir. the service of Louts
XVII I. could bring themselves to impeach the equity
of those reclsmations, and to evade the acknowlyd.),-
ment of rights so irrever.ihle, is something beyond
what we had calculated upon. The roraprirside of the
claims is stated to be another grcritid tor irj:•cting or
reducing ti::.-m—.but the attatil:nt of such claims for
redre:s is an indication, though not perhaps an accu-
rate measure, of the magnitude of the crimes and
oppressions which they are brought to: ward to wipe
off. It follows, therefore, from the reasoni,,g this
passage of the KING'S speech, that France is to be
indulged in propoition to the wrongs which she has
committed.

The trial of tl:c alledged' conspirators at Lyons
terminated on tie 3d instant. The details of it ate
not given, but from the result the charges appear to
have nearly evaporated in the course of the process.
Only one of the indtvidu ils accused has been sen-
tenced to death, and he is recommended to mercy ;
eight were condemned to different terms of imprison-
ment, three placed under surveillance; and IG, includ-
ing the Marchioness de LAVALFTTE, were acquitted.
The Duke of RAOVSA is, it seems, expected im-
mediately at Paris, on his return from his mission to
Lyons and Greauble.
