lands, Arrived at Vilvorde, and signitied
his intention ofentering Brussels at the
head Of body of troops, which he hat
brought with him from Holland. A dep
utation, headed by the Commander of the
Garde Bourgeoise, Immediately repaired
to him, to escort him into the city, but re-
fusing to permit the entry ofthe troops
The negotiations carried on between the
parties may be CLEANED from the papers
sent herewith but about Z o'clock in the
evening, the town was thrown into state
ofgreat alarm, by report that the Prince
was determined to enter with the troops.
Every shop and house was Immediately
closed, the whole of the streets leading to
the entrance from Antwerp were unpaved
and barricades formed Of the stones, piles,
and woodwork Of every description
Nearly 200 of the beautiful trees on the
Boulevards, near the gates William, ,Schar
bech, and LouvaIn, were merchessly cut
down and thrown across the road I; the
gates themselves blockaded with wagons,
beams, and every possible material, to
keep out the army supposed to be advanc
ing towards the city.
Fresh deputations were despatched to
the Prince, which he received with very
bad grace, and it was not till ten O'Clock
the following morning, that, yielding to
the representations of these deputies, and
prompted, no doubt, by wish to save
the blood Of his subjects, that the Prince
Of Orange consented to enter his capital,
attended only by his staff. The Garde
Burgeoise, to the number of8 900 armed
men, then marched from the Grand Place
to meet and bring him to Brussels. At
two o'clock his royal Highness entered
the town, leaving the troops in the neigh
borhood of Lackcn, Under the command
of his Royal Highness Prince Frederick.
This courageous and confding action on
the part ofhis Royal Highness, in thus
trusting himself alone in city in arms a.
gainst his fathers Government, had the
immediate effect of re-establishing the
confidence and hopes of the people at
large, and ofthe English residents in par
ticular, who had passed the night in the
most anxious state Of excitement and ap-
prehension ofthe horrors Of slaughter and
pillage.
His Royal Highncss was escorted TO
the Grand Palace, where, hating, he ad-
dressed the Populace, stating his conf
dence in their honor to protect him from
violence; that he was himself Belgian,
and had bled for his country-that he
would cooperate with the Chiefs Of the
Garde Bourgeoise to promote the well
fare ofhIs people, sc. He then waved
his hat, aud left The Grand Prince, amid
the cheers Of most of the assembled mul.
titude. Some few cries for Z" Liberte,"
and down with Van Maanen," (thc OBJ
noxious Minister, were heard, but upon
the whole the inhabitants were pleased
with the events of the morning. The
troops, which had retired to the interior
of the Kings and Prince of Orange's
Palaces, and the Garde Bourgeoise left
in entire possession of the town. Since
then, up to the present moment, the great
est tranquility prevailed in Brussels; coun
ellis have been called and adjourned, and
it is anxious!y expec cted that matters may
be arranged between the government and
the people.
The letters and papers obtained from
the Russian capitdlto the 2lst ult, com
munIcate important news, and il is fully
anticipated that should the Emperor Mich
olas persevere in his opposition to the
new order ofthings in France, the peace
Of Europe may be disturbed. The Gdvi-
ces from st. Petersburg and Crons, adt
communicate the important news, that the
Emperor had sent orders 10 the Russian
outports, that no French vessel having
the tri-colored flag hoisted, should be al
lowed to enter any Of the ports. The |

stadt on the 2lst ult. and had created
great surprise. e

Considerable alarm was excited in this
city this morning, from the continued and
not altogether pacific discussions between
the Prince Of Orange and the Council G.

and il was considered by no means inn
prbablc that trial Of strength might take {
place between the military and Garde $
About twelve o'clock, how :
