The First Chamber of the Dutch States-General passed a law,

on the 16th instant, to provide for the payment of the interest of the debt due on the 31st. The Belgian share of the interest was included in this sum.

The Belgian Parliament has also been occupied with affairs of Finance. The revenue is described as being in a flourishing state ; almost every tax is becoming annually more productive. The Ministers seem to have no difficulty in carrying their mea- sures, or in obtaining the money they require.
