There does not seem to exist any disposition among
the inhabitants of Brussels 10 meet the King III half
way measures, to acknowledge his authority in a
ny manner. In one of the paragraphs which VIII be
found anisng our extracts, it is stated that deputy
from the provisional governments of Belgium to Pa

France, received unavorable answer from that
government, which expressed its determination to
ter into that might disturb the general
tranquility of Europe.
The ex-mnisters of the ex- king of France seem
likely to escape the punishment of death for their pc
litical offences. debate took place in the Cha mber
OF Deputies on the evening of the 9Th of October
the subject of the total aud immediate abolition of he
punishment of death, which ended i'll the adoption of
an amendment, proposing that tho Chamber should
address the King in order to obtain from him the pro
position OF law to abolish capital punishment for
great number OF specified offences, especially for all
political crimes. The amendment was supper, ed by
Lafayette The address was accordingly delivered to
Louis Philip, who replied as follows:
Confinement receive with great satisfaction the
address which you have presented to me. The SEN
tinents to whchyou give expression have been
long time in my heart. Witness from my earliest
years, the frightful abuse of the punishment of
death political! matters and of all the evils which
hare resulted from it TO France and humanity, have
unsantly and warmly advocated its abolition The

JUNCTION OF BELGIUM WITH FRANCE
We have received the following information con-
nected with TIE affairs of the netherlands; IN Gen
dcben, the gentleman deputed by the provincial gov
eminent OF Brussels to make an offer Of alliance
with France, has had interviews with the Minister
Tor Foreign fairs and others, but has been most I'M
successful He informed that, with whatever
satisfaction the French Government might view the
prospect OF increased friendly relations with the Bel
gaIS, 1t would only DC as connected with the general
tranquility of Europe, which would be endangered
by annexing the territory of Belgium to France, or
placing it under the special protection of the latter
country 1t was In consequence of the bad success
OF NJ Gendebein's mission, that the provisional gov
eminent of Brussels issued proclamation declaring
Belgium an independent State. Under what form Of
government and what chief this is to be placed
