The news from Basic presents lively inter-
est. 1t was expected, on the 10th Jan, that
an attack would be made by the peasantry
ag INST the city Both sides were making prep
aTatons to fight with ardor. The government
of Basic had acceded to the first propositions of
the peasantry for the more equal assessment of
the deputies of the country and of the city in
the Grand Council. Out of l54 members, of
which that assembly is composed, the city reck-
oned formerly 80, and the country Ga The
Grand Council have made the offer of 20 to
the country; the city will then count no more
t than 20. The peasantry were satisfied the FIRST
, day with that concession but rejected it on the
following day; they this day exact five seventies
OF the representation, and that is the question
which is on the eve Of being decided by arms.
A heavy cannonade was heard on the 10th,
in the direction of the rampartS of Basic. An
lpstan: after brisk fire of musquetry and the
tocsin were heard There are in that town
= 10000 determined men, the streets are unpav-

It The Brussels Correspondent of the London
e Courier, writes as follows, on tho 23th Of Jan
l. The opinions in Congress are pretty equally
/ distributed between the Dukes of Leuchten
l. berg and Nemours A communication from
e Count Sebastlani has been communicated Ia
&c Congress, in which he declares, that in the
ie event of their electing the Duke of Leuchten
a berg, that France never will recognize him
h and that M. Bresson has orders to quit Brns

is the letter is less positive, although it also re
fuses assent to his nomination.
There is no doubt that the decisive and an
equlvoca remonstrance of France, will lesser
