BRUSSELS PAPERS.
• BRUSSELS, Dec. 3. .
The Second Chamber of the States General, after
five days debates, reusarkible for the number and talent'
of the speakers, rejected the motion r f M. tie Brouckere,
by a majority, of 61 to 44.
The galleries were filled during the whole of these
ttesaikable debates.

BRUSSELS, Damara &
The Second Chamber ot the States General is con-
voked today. For what purpose? We db not know.
If wars conjectured yesterday, that whops a Royal pro.
positien Might be brought forward for the unqualified
convocation of the provisional law or decree of 1815.
If it 'lore really sti, what. a utianimbus conceit of ap-
plause ftom' the nation would prove the gratitude of
the people. A skilful Minister, devoted to his tinge
would propose such. d Measure, and the inagnanimoth
'heart and sound judgment of the P. ince would approve
:it. But what can we• expect' front serous's, who, in-
stead' ot giiing wholesome advice, maintain that they
iought to wait fur and' blindly execute the orders of their
master ?

• Tile grelt Majotity of the Members of the Second
Chamber have sufficiently einwn thele desire for the
shy ativogation‘ of the Legislation of 1815. and the
enattrttent of a judicions•lavv• to repress the licentious-
fiesZof the ?rest. The fear of being wanting in respeit
•tothe Royal'autliotify induced theist to vote agaiiist the
motion. Let the Monarch speak a word, and every
+scruple-Will vanish, and the nation will be delivered
'tidtpartial laws, which are repugnant to its feelings.
utd cebtlndally'rtlenice public writers.
. When the Goverolent has once proposed the absolute
renovation of these laws, nothing will hinder it horn
'bringing forward, as sdon as it pleases, a suitable mea-
,sueeagailist- die-transgressions of the periodical press.
Meantime, there would be nothing to apprehend, as the
penal code is sufficient fir the public secusity; and all
classes of citizens gradually become ssnsible of the sta-
bility of constitutional principles, ask nothing but tran-
quillity.

Several Journals have said that the Brit* arrern-
ment reinforces the garrisons of the lnnian Islands, and
even that there are three times as many troops there as
ire necessary to perform the duty. It is cm tainthat the
garrisons of those i.lands have n( t been reii for(.ed since
the departure of the English troops from Lisbon. and
then they received only one or two regiments. Persons
well acquainted with the situations of 'how island-, say
that the garrisons are not even complete. This fault
'worthy of notice, for it indicates in the English Govern.

CONSPIRACY IN COLOMBIA.

arrited in a short' passage firm Cartba2ena, the news
of a dangerous conspiracy. l.eaded b. Santande r an I
Padilla., against thelite-dt B hear. The folliw u.; let-

States who is well acquainted with all tbe affatis of
Colombia, and who is eapiable of judging as to cite ro.
suit Of this unhappy trinsattion,
Extract of a private letter, received per the Tampico, urbred
tbieeieuins, dated Canines', Oct. 13.
" I send you herewith a Offzette, containing a pretty
full'aegount of a conspiracy th..t broke out in Bogota
last month, id which, I regret to say, many min of bigh
military tank were engaged. Amon* others, the bye
Vice President, General Santander, and General Padilla.
The latter was at the time a prisoner, and unties trial for
his'ebuduct at Cat thagena in March last, and of • hie*

stated that five of the ringleaders had be •st executed, and

same fate. Bolivar escaped, by miracle, from the pa-
lace, alter his guard and Aide de Camp were killed,—
Had it notbeen for the gallantry of the regiment ofYar..
gas, headed by Col. Whipple, who first repolsed the aitii-
Icry at'the attack on the barracks, and drove them fairly
out of the town, a dreadful scene must have followed, as
the artillery (who woe brought over by the conspir nor.),
were promised the plunder ol the town; iu which, no
doubt, every foreigner would have lost his life, as it is
well known they are all attached to B Some few
persons hive been placed under arrest here, merely
becau.e they were in some tneassite implicated in Pa-
dilla's bu•intss of March last. Tne prninpt and
judi-
cious ntra,utes of General M•intilla will, I think, at all
time!, cecute us fium the affects of conspiracies in this
part at the country. Should the Liberator cause Getter.
lal Santander to be executed, his party must tall to the
ground for cant of a leader; but I have my doubts
whether he will'proceed so fa. Although a just step,
(supposing him ful:y guilty of the charges alleged
against hid)), it mty not be a prudent ore, as &titan-
der's coon crions are rich and powerful through out the
country. Should anything further occur, I will advise

The papers which we have received give as length
the details of this unhappy affair. It appears (to give
brief summary) that the troops forming the garrison
of the city of Bogota mete a squadron of poise grtna-
Jiers, a battalion under the command of Vargas, and a
uigade of artillery. This last body, it map, was se-
duced into the conspi-atop' service, by the [nowise of
iz months pay, and the sack t f the city. The attack
was made simuitaniously on different points. The party
which attacked the palace bad only to encounter the
resistance of a few ac.ei &sus; and Bolivar was com-
pelled to effect his escape into the street by means r f a
balcony, to which there WAS an rill ance Irons his
