THE HAGUE, Nov. 23-30.

"We are waiting with the greatest impatience for news from Brabant, where we expect the Austrian army are at this moment arrived. The Belgic Congress, weary of the fanatical obstinacy of Van der Noot, Van Eupen, and others of that cast, have concluded, at last to make an attempt to avoid an absolute submission to the Emperor, and preserve their ancient constitution without having recourse to military exertions. From all appearances, the Belgic Congress have no other resource left them but to accept the re-establishment of their old constitution, with every guarantee for the strict observance thereof that can reasonably be desired—the two superior orders of the nation, see the absolute necessity of accepting those terms immediately, and nothing but the influence of the inferior clergy over the dregs of the people, keeps alive the present disturbances, and prevent the low countries from enjoying the blessings of peace-"

"On the 13th inst. the Belgic Congress met to debate upon the Emperor's manifesto. Van Eupen and Van der Noot, concluded their harangues with a solemn oath never to enter into any accommodation whatever with the emperor, or to return under his sovereignty, and advised the other members to follow their example; but this was peremptorily refused; and the delegates from Hainault, Flanders, Tournay and Tournesis and from Malines, joined the other members in their refusal, adding, 'that they were ordered by their constituents to accommodate matters, if possible, with their ancient sovereign.' And thus the Belgic nation is split into two parties, the more moderate under the controul of the most numerous and violent, hurried on by a blind impetuosity and a few designing leaders."
