 Towards midnight the crowd dispcrs- ed. Onc group went to the Place Roy al. preceded by n flag composed of tine curtains of Libry Begnano. Tine officer of that post came out, and asked what they wanted? The Commander of the town came forward likewise. Nothing but confused cries were to De heard Of ssLibertyl Justice!!" A soldier stepped out of the ranks, and with tears ill his eyes duplicated those present to with draw, saying For Gods sake disperse, 5;;s! si,;. he disgrace of being obliged to shed any Belgian bloodr" Those sim pie words produced more effect thanfhe. stoutest resistance would have done.-- Another group proceeded to the Palace of Justice, all the windowaof which were. broken. Shortly after the General who commands the town proceeded to the i...,tei. :. aae file. and the Horse Gen darmes commenced to patrol about in detachments. X more numerous crowd proceeded to the house of M. de kuyH, the directorof the Police. 1t was for eibly entered, and there, every thing was broken aud destroyed; but there, likewise, notasingle article was abstract ed.
 The crowd began to assume more serious and violent aspect. The inhah- itants left their houses, and the troops got under arms.
 The first muslset shots were fired to- wards one o'clock, when the commotion became more tumultuous and decisive. The crowd ran with great noise towards the Hotel of M. Van Maanen, the Min ister of Justice. When the people were before this residence, the exasperation seemed to have reached its highest pitch.
 The doors were burst in; furniture and effects of every description were de- molished. The troops wished to restore order, but they were too feeble. They were attacked, disarmed and obliged to retreat. After the first explosion, the multitude seemed te- concert measures, and set fire to the buildings. The smoke appeared rapidly; the crowd rushed out, and ranged itself round the Hotel, and declared that 1t would not retire before the building was burnt to to It's very touaaa tion. The conilagration made great progress. The flames were perceivable already fromafar-the Gfcmen hastened to the spot with their engines, but they were repulsed. This vast editice being seton fire served thus as point of as semblage.
 During the night the gunsmiths had beencompelled to deliver up the arms contained in their stores. The people distributed them; such as had any guns at home went out with them. and some nluskets were taken from the soldiers, or abandoned by them, that they might not have to fire. Workmen were seen to surround ;;,;ii officer neartae Palace of Justice, putting pistol to his breast, and asking him, on his word of honor, that he sheuld not order the people to be fired upon.
 Towards five o'clock in the morning. the armed force displayed itself more.- X batallion of Chasseurs and battalion ofGrcnadiers, spreadthemselvesin com panies through the streets where the agitation was greatest. It was in the Place dh 1Sablen where about six e. clock in thcmorning, an officer ordered q platoon to fire, and where the struggle became bloody. Presently the wound ed7were seen being carried home; and gore stained the pavement.
 This armed force travcrsed the streets, firing multiplied volleys; it fired some times into the air, and sometimes onthe crowd. The houses were shut up, and the windows lined with women and cu- rious people. The streets were crowd ed, being sometimes invaded and some times deserted. The inhabitants were armed with guns, swords and cudgels; then posted themselves at the corners of the strcets-all which gave so extraor- dinary an appearance to Brussels, that one might have supposed it town ex- peoting to be taken by storm.
 The fire of muskctry continues unin- terrupted to this moment, which is 10 o'clock inthe morning.
 The house ofM.Schuezmans, the Kings Procurator-Geaeral, has been assaled during the night, and the windows of it have been broken.
