BELGIUM.  The following are extracts from the Belgic papers of Monday, which i arrived last night :44 Bat/seem, Nov. 28.—The National Congress. in its yesterday's sitting, adopted a law relative to the publication of its decrees, but as what is the plainest is often least thought of, the Assembly fagot to determine the mode of publishing its acts preceding yesterday's sitting, and it will probably be obliged to pass a special law for this purpose, since the decree of yester.'ay cannot have a retrospective effect. " We had joyfully inserted the news spread here sod at Liege, of a check experienced by the Dutch troops of the corps under the Duke of Saxe-Weimar. The Belgians„ it was said, had taken 2,000 prisoners, and a great number of cannon. There is no truth whatever in these statement.i since the Provisional Ooveniment does not condescend to tell us a word on the subject: it seems that there exists, with respect to the news from our armies, an organized system of deception, we know not to what purpose. However, we are not far from seizing the threads of this intrigue, and being able to give to the public some information on this subject, which will surprise it. " Our civic guard is threatened with a measure which has spread alarm throughout Brunch. It is sail to be intended to disarm it, and to give its muskets to other collie which will go to join the army. It lis certain, that we are indebted to the civic guard for the tranquillity I which we have long enjoyed in this capital, and that to deprive the guard of the means of maintaining that tranquillity, by taking away its arms, is risking not only our peace, but even our existence. The enemy at home is no less to be feared than the foreign enemy. The latter can only conquer a few leagues of ground, while the other may in an instant overthrow the state and all private fortunes. " What is the Prince of Orange now to us ? He is proscribed with his whole race : it is nothing to us whether he lives or dies, nor need we care whether the justification of the conduct of that Prince by 111. Lehon in the Congress is satisfactory or incomplete. It appear, however, that this prince of Orange is still offended with certain persons who have made him commit suicide, though he is is very good health. This news, of little importance in itself, comes from that manufactory, the productions of which we are carefully watching. " Almost all the Bes employed in the higher departments who were at the Hague have returned to Brussels. It is with the greatest difficulty that they succeeded in getting into Belgium. Several of them have employed seven or eight days en the road from the Hague to Brussels, and have been obliged to lame in Holland their wives and children. They relate that latterly the Belgians no Imes dare to show themselves in public places, or even to quit their bosses. They all expressed the greatest joy at having returned to Brunk " ANTWERP, Nov. 27. " General .Nellon and Major Hetode are gone to the Campine. Geo. Mellioet is gone towards alaestricbt. " LIEGE, Nov. 17. " We have learnt nothing positive respeedns the aajeracct between our troops and those of the Duke of Base Wer.
