The Brussels Free-trade Congress closed on Wednesday. Further resolutions, all

intended to favour the extension of free trade, were una- nimously adopted. "The drapeau of our propaganda," said the Presi- dent, is " lib erte commercials." The delegates seemed well satisfied with their work ; and they all dined together at the Hotel de Ville. The Nord learns that the conferences of the second Plenipotentiaries of the Paris Congress-those Ministers of the Powers represented therein who reside in the French capital-will shortly be convoked, to regulate the questions left unsettled last April.
