iIAGUE, MARCII 13•

The two Chambers met together about one o'clock
this day. Count Thiennes de Lombize, President of
the first Chamber, presided. A deputation, consist-
ing of four Members of each Chamber, having been
named to introduce the Minister of the Interior in
the usual form, his Excellency took his seat opposite
the President, and made the following speech
" High and Mighty Lords,

" The King having charged me to close, in his
name, the Session of your High Mightinesses, has
permitted me, at the same time, to express his Royal
satisfaction at the zeal which you have shewn in your
important occupations, and for the rnultiplid proofs
of attachment to the throne and the country which
your High Mightinesses have added to those which
the Kii,g and the nation have already received• from
sou. This Session will be honourably distinguished
in theannals of our legislation. Several-brariches of
the general administration have 'received important
ameliorations or necessary modifications. One of the
powers established by the fundamental law has had
its constitutional operations facilitated and regulated;
but the benefit for which the nation will be the most
grateful, is the having so effectually established the
public credit, that powerful spring of the prosperity
of nations, that it has exceeded the wants of the State.
" After having taken so great a part in such im-
portant results, your High Mightinesses may return
home to your Provinces with a just feeling of pride.
Carry thither also, High and Mighty Lords, that
wise and enlightened public spirit of which you owe
the example to the nation, and which yc. t give it•
And while the King, with his constant desire to do
good, will contirue to meditate on every thing that
may tend to realize the useful plans which are the
object of his unceasing attention, do you, High and
Mighty Lords, teach your countrymen to appreciate
so much devotion to the painful duties of Royalty,
so many princely virtues, show the advantage which
they have already produced, the hopes which they
authoti-ze us to entertain."

His Excellency left the Assembly in the same form
as he entered it, after which the President declared
the Assembly dissolved.

ANTWERP, MARCH is.

The number of vessels which have perished or. our
coast is said to amount to silty.

BRUSSELS, MARCH 13.

• The violent tempests which have succeeded each
other for some days past, have occasioned numerous
disasters ; a great number of vessels have been wrecked
or stranded on the coasts of this kingdom, as well as
on those of France ; both are covered with dead bo-
dies and fragments of vessels. Travellers who have
witnessed this afflicting sight, give the most heart•
rending description of it. Yesterday Mrs. Rickson,
an English lady, passed through here, who was ship-
' wrecked at Ostend; she saw her son perish, and has
lost every thing ; but for the assistance of some cha-
ritable persons it would have been impossible for her
to continue the journey to join her husband, at Va-
lenciennes. Captain le. Br;n, who commanded the
sloop la Caroline, which been Wrecked on the
coast of Holland, has also pi:ssed through here, going
to Havre.

• INSPRUCK, MARCII 2.
Our Glaciers now offer a remarkable phenomenon:
that which is known under the name of Orders litze
augments enormously; it has aircady extended above
a league towards the valley ; it continues to increase
with extraordinary rapidity, and has already reached
the meadows of Campenhof, and tl.i3 in a winter

which h not severe. A circumstance wi
tice is, that a rivulet, called Suldmbach,
formed by this glacier, has entirely di
the end of September, and yet no trice,
of any other outlet. The noise of this gl

It is no wonder that the inhabitaots are
