Brussels, Nov. 27. The disputes are at length terminated, relative to the refusal of the states of Brabant to recognize the sovereignty of the Emperor's council in this province, as actually constituted. The States have acknowledged the legal authority of the council, so that there is now every appearance of a good understanding taking place, and the publication of a general amnesty is looked for every day. We have had numberless false reports scattered through these provinces of the King of France and his family having again quitted the capital and retired to Valenciennes. It is discovered that this story was fabricated by the French emigrants, first, with a view to prevent their deluded countrymen from returning home, upon hearing of the decree against the emigrants, and the letters of Louis XVI to his brothers; and, secondly, to encourage their party to invade France without further delay, for which purpose the greatest part of them were assembled at Coblentz and Worms.

Event Details
The disputes relative to the refusal of the states of Brabant to recognize the sovereignty of the Emperor's council in this province have been terminated. The States have acknowledged the legal authority of the council, leading to expectations of good understanding and publication of a general amnesty. False reports of the King of France and his family quitting the capital for Valenciennes were spread through these provinces, fabricated by French emigrants to prevent countrymen from returning due to the decree against emigrants and Louis XVI's letters to his brothers, and to encourage invasion of France, with most emigrants assembled at Coblentz and Worms.
