The Moniteur of yesterday published a decree according to which
all the French sea-ports and the custom-houses at Lille, Valenciennes, Turcoing, and Roubaix are open for the importation o f cotton yarn of certain numbers. Another decree ordered that all the articles of the Treaty of Commerce between France and Belgium shall also be applied in favour of England. The Moniteur also contains various decrees in reference to the application of the Treaty of Commerce between France and Belgium. The Moniteur reprints an article published by Dr. Peron in the Constitutioauel against a dissolution of the Corps Legislatif. Two important sections of Western Europe which the Holy Alli- ance hadjoined in matrimony, though common sense forbade the banns, and no consent was asked or given, bad led a dog's life until put asunder in the first disruption of the famous treaties of 1815 at the revolution of 1830. Since then the cordiality and mutual respect of the separated parties has been progressively developed, and now the Prince de Ligne, as President of the Belgian Senate, presents to the Dutch Legislative Assembly a beautiful emblazoned album, containing the autographs of every member in both Houses legislating at Brus- sels, to be deposited in the archives of Holland as a last* memorial of the friendly feeling that has superseded former mistrust and aversion. At the Hague the Legislature of the Netherlands fully re- ciprocates the sentiment, and hailed its pledge with acclamation on Tuesday. It was accompanied wth a substantial subscription for the inundated districts of theraal and Meuse. —6' lobe Paris Correspondent.
