Our excellent correspondent O'HIGGINS has sent us no letter on
the Belgic brawls this week—for the tolerably Irish-looking reason that he is writing a History of the Revolution in Belgium. There had been, mob law, he informs us, for a day and a night at Bruges ; where the bakers had been stoned, and the citizens "gutted"—he formerly told us of their guttling. " After all," he exclaims, echoing one of our remarks, "as you say, England is the only country for civilized man."
