PAL M ERSTO ATPENDIX, No. 1. `• The undersigned Plenipotentiaries of his Majesty the King of the Netherlands have the honour to temind Lord Palmerston of the contents of the note which they on the 21st of May, laid before the London conference. In this it was declared, that if the Belgians did not at once consent to the conditions determined by the Five Courts, as a funda mental principle of the separation, his Majesty would con. sider himself free to act on his own account, that that tedious uncertainty might terminate which is so highly injurious to the interests of his faithful subjects. Taking into considera tion the resolution of the conference of the 10th of May, the undersigned cannot doubt but that the 22d protocol was received at Brussels before the let of June, and must have directly been followed by an answer stating either that the Belgian Government had acceded to the above-named forth mental conditions of separation, and placed themselves in the same position with regard to the Five Powers in which the King of the Netherlands now finds himself, or that the said conditions arc not accepted by that Government. "Since, however, several days have elapsed after the term granted by the London conference to the Belgian Govern ment, the undersigned fulfil an imperative duty by request ing an explanation with regard to the information ob tained, in order that their sovereign, on learning the result, which they will immediately have communicated, may take such measures as in the present state of things are requited, as well as regards the dignity as the sa fety of Holland. " The undersigned request Lord Palmerston to commu nicate the present note to the Plenipotentiaries, and, ex pecting that he will honour them with an answer, they em brace this opportunity of repeating the assurance of their high regard.

Mee, that of the London conference, to the letter which Lord Ponsonby wrote to Mr. Lebeau, dated the 27th May hat— e letter which was communicated to the (so called) Brussels Congress, published in all the newspapers, and submitted to the consideration of the said assembly. " Without alluding to the other painful feelings which the reading of that paper has given rise to, the under.men. 'lotted will content themselves by objecting in the strongest way to every thing which the agent of the conference has thought fit to introduce regarding an eventual cession of the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg. By the way in which Lord Ponsonby in this letter has spoken of the proposed cession, be has arrogated aright that no person could delegate to him. He has flattered, with a deceitful hope, the engrossing spirit which has distinguished the revolt, and has encroached on the unalienable eights of ti.e King by promises directly opposed to the decisive and unsettled language of the representatives of his Majesty's Government here as well as in the Hague. " The King abides by the act of separation which was pro posed by the See Powers, and is accepted by him without re servation. By article 2d of that act, the Grand Duchy hex. 'Heady acknowledged as belonging to the House of Nassau. It is theretofore difficult to comprehend how an idea should have arisen of any negociation respecting that sovereignty, which, even after the unconditional acceptance of the grounds of the separation by Belgium, would have been still subject to the greatest difficulties, because that duchy was granted in place of their hereditary possessions to the King and the Princes of the House, and in his eyes is of inestimable value. Consequently, the undersigned must protest against that part of Lad Ponsonby's letter, which they most positively now do by this—contradicting it entirely, and leaving the conse quences of it to the writer.

VIENNA, June exchange of couriers between Paris and Vienna has been very frequent, during the last fortnight : it is affirmed that fresh difficulties have arisen in the negociations for the evacuation of the Papal dominions, on account of the continued very unfavourable weather, oar Court has not yet gone to its usual summer residence ; but they will do so immediately, when the weather becomes milder. His Highness the Duke of Reichstadt will now enter into active service, as Lieut.-Colonel in the regiment of Giulay, now in garrison here. Marshal Marmont has returned from a journey into Hungary. With re spect to the troubles in Albania and Bosnia the last accounts are not quite satisfactory, notwithstanding the Grand Vizier's victories, as the insurrection con tinues to spread in Lower Albanii, and still more in Bosnia. Letters from Frieme say that the Pacha of Travnik, who being compelled by the rebels, put himself in appearance at their head, has escaped from them and arrived in the lazaretto, in the Austrian territory, accompanied by 1.50 men. The mail from Constantinople, of May 10, arrived here only a few days ago. It brought nothing important, except the sailing of the fleet in the Bosphorus. We expect in a day or two the mail of May 25. Our accounts from Warsaw, to the 4th, say that General Gielgud, and Chlapowski had been joined by some corps of Lithuanian patriots. There is said to be a great scarcity of provisions at the Russian head quarters, and that they hare on that account been brought nearer to the Russian frontier. LEMEURG, JUNE 2.—The Cholera, though the number of the patients has increased latterly, does not appear to be so obstinate here as in many other places visited by this dreadful scourge, for above half of those that are still sick are recovering. At twelve o'cleek to-day, the whole number of persons attacked, beginning on the 20th of May, was 357, of whom 198 had died. The cases were chiefly among the Jews and poor classes. Of 159 still sick, the greater part give hopes of recovery. But at Brody the ravages of the disorder are far more terrible, above fifty persons daily being attacked by it. During the short time the cholera appeared there, till yesterday, the number of persons attacked in Brody was 1700, of whom above 800 have already fallen victims to it. VIENNA, JUNE SITE.

Rudi ger, with the greater part of his troops, has gone towards Zamosc, leaving only a small number in Volbynia. Several Polish officers, wbo had taken refuge in the Austrian territory, and had thereby engaged to remain there till the end of the war, have taken advantage of the oppor tunity to go to Volbynia, and excite the insur rection ; it is said, however, that several of them hare fallen into the han ds of the Russians. The conduct of these officers is highly disapproved of by our authorities, and may very probably lead to rigorous measures with respect to their com rades who remain behind. In the Ukraine the insur rection is said to be entirely quelled, but to have broken out again in Podolia. Some thousand pea sants who, headed by their priests, traversed the Icountry, were lately driven by the flying columns of General Roth into the Austrian territory, where they were immediately disarmed. The Russians now demand that thee fugitives shall be given up, in conformity with the existing cartel. Many Russian prisoners have escaped into Gallicia, from Zamosc, where they were employed in the fortifi cations. They affirm that the gatzlson is in a melancholy situation, and that order is with diffi culty preserved, as the magazines are exhausted, and the men are destitute of every thing. It is therefore expected that Gen. Rudiger will attempt to make himself master of the place.—Francfort Papers, June l5. PRIVATE CORRkSPOiIDENCE. (EXCLUSIVE.) PARIS, Joys 19. St is with pleasure I communicate to you, that since my letter of yesterday all has remained tranquil here, with every prospect of continuing— at any rate till the end of the month. This last affair, which originated in such a trifling manner, has not passed off without the loss of life ; four bodies of workmen have been exposed at the Morgue to be owned—three of them pierced with bayonet wounds ; and the poor fellow I mentioned to you before, whose head and chest were clove asunder by a sabre cut. The Morgue has been crowded with visitors to view a sight not very likely to calm the turbulent spirit which is abroad. The Journals are filled with letters of complaints from individuals who have been maltreated without the least provocation by the National Guards ; and I am pleased to say, that many of the legions are about to institute a strict enquiry respecting those who have behaved so brutally, and expel them from their body. Many of the National Guard appear to forget that they emanate from the people, and act in a manner which has already obtained for them the name of Gendarmes ! They want that grand requisite of a soldier, obedience to their commanders ; most of them acting as they think fit, on the impulse of the moment, without wait ing for orders. I have observed this ea many occa sions ; and have myself, more than once, been nearly the victim of such conduct. Yet General Lobau, in an order of the day, has congratulated them upon their conduct ; one cannot, however, be surprised at such a congratulation coming from him, on learning the school wherein he was educated. To the eternal honour of General La fayette, whore day of court favour seems at pre sent a little clouded, during the threatening trou bles of December, all was got over without any personal violence on the part of the National Guards, at a time too when the assailants and the danger was a thousand fold. But the times have changed since then, and men change with them. Many arrests have taken place, both during the commotion and since. Amongst other M. Lennox, ex-colonel of the Lancers. A visit was paid to his house by the Commissary of Police ; and his officers, and all his papers, and a variety of ancient armour, seised and carried to the Prefecture of Police. A joke is current, that amongst the latter was a Roman shield, upon which was a Cock and the letters S. P. Q. R. which were interpreted by th e Commissa ry —" Sa Majesto Philipp e qu itt ers le Reysume . " All the antique pistols, lances, &c. of which the Colonel has a great collection, were stated to be a depot of arms, to be placed in the hands of the Bonapartists ! I Yesterday morning, M. Madet, who was charged by the Societi des Astir du People to distribute relief to those condemned for political offences, was arrested at his house ; and the agents of police, not content with arresting him, stationed themselves in the house, and arrested every person that came there. Saturday being the day of his hebdomary distributions. This arrest caused a great assemblage of people in the quarter, M. Madet enjoying the esteem of many poor fami lies that he gave relief to. Such arbitraty acts do not tell well. There is little news from Poland. It is stated that Marshal Diebitseh has divided his army into three columns, one of which edvances into the Palatinate of Plock. News has arrived that the dis tricts of the Government of Grodno upon the frontiers of Volhynia are in full insurrection. The Moniteur is wholly occupied by the lists of the individuate entitled to receive the medals of July. It is now stated that the ribands of the cross and the medal are to be the same, so that those who wish to be distinguished as Knights of the Cross, will be obliged to carry it in order not to be t aken for a Knight of the Medal, and this they cannot do, unless they take the oath. Ido not know whether this- be not an " artful contrivance of the enemy." I enclose you the journals; and I remain, Tour's, respectfully, J. L. General Bertrand, who may be considered as the representative of the Bonaparte party, offers him self as candidate for the College of Chateauroux. Under that title he has addressed a profession of faith to the electors of that arrondissement. There, all the political questions which are the order of the day are discussed by the General, and resolved ad verse to the existing Government. This circum stance, and many others of the same kind, is very remarkable, because it proves that the Government has now to combat all the strong and powerful par ties which occupy the country, without having any thing else to oppose to them than the force inertia of an intermediate party. But in no time, and es pecially in a time of revolution, ever was an in termediate party sufficient for the defence of power. We may then say with truth that, after lamonths of a life of debility, and badly-smeared, the exist ence of power is decidedly put in question. This position of the Government of July, has much ana logy with that in which the Royal Government was placed after having struggled during fifteen years against the Revolution, having for its defence the power of right, that of the good which it did for the country, and, its attention seising upon every occasion that presented itself, to support the honour of the French name. VIENNA, JUNE 9.—Gensral Riadiger bad his bead-quarters at Kainice on the 31st of May; his corps amounted to 16,000 men and 34 cannon, he has sent posts to the environs; at Wisp:yowl he bad a trifling engagement with the Poles. Gene ral Chryorowsky is in movement towards Zwierre nice, with the intention of passing the Vistula.— Observateur Autrichift. WARSAW, JUNE 6.—The Gazette crEtat pub lishes this day an article upon the interpretation which was given to a demand made at one of the last sittings of the Nuncios, by the Deputy Ledo chowski, relative to a change which was believed necessary in the government of the kin?dom. The motive of that article is to refute the imputations to which the Generalissimo had been subject. The following is the summary :—" The Gene ralissimo, is said to have declared to the deputation of the Diet, when they waited upon him at Praga, that the national government failed in force and energy,and that a change was necessary." "We do not believe," says the Gazette, " that this was said : General Skrzynecki is a good Pole, and be is also a wise and prudent man, who would never pat any thing forward which could be prejudicial to the country, and that he would not seek to ex ercise an influence upon the legislative body, whilst in that instance he had need to reinforce the confi dence which the nation and army had in his talents. It is possible that the Generalissimo had made com plaints upon the obstacles and inconveniences which perhaps the army had experienced in some part of its administration, but which the civil authorities could alone remedy ; it does not follow that be had expressed the wish of a change in the actual orga nisation of the National Government." The National Government addressed yesterday, the sth of June, a Proclamation to the inhabitants of the kingdom, to make known to them that the Diet, taking into consideration the poverty of the public treasury, had authorized it to raise, by way of requisition, the provisions and forage necessary for the actit e army. The Government, speaking of the new sacrifices which are thus imposed for the general cause, expresses that they will be but momentary. Besides, it has put the greatest equity in the requisitions, in such a manner that the demands shall be always proportioned to the means of those who will be required to give this new proof of devotion to the country.—Courrier de Warsaw. The war party continues to move in Belgium : the association has published an address, which is covered with signatures, and of which the object is to request the, Regent instantly to commence hos tilities, as the only means of saving the honour and existence of Belgium: We know what hopes are concealed behind these warlike ideas, which pre dominate in spite of the resistance of the Regent, who refuse', it is said, to change his Ministry : they show that the war partly has comprised the sense of the military insurrections of Tarascon, and that it counts upon the revolution of July,altbough it does not count upon the Pelais-Royal.—la Quotidienne. The following article is from Le Moniker Beige : " Despatches from London have been re ceived to-day at the office of the Minister of the Interior. Their contents prove the falsehood of the news from the Hague, according to which Prince Leopold was officially to refuse the crown of Bel gium on the 13th. The despatches are dated the 13th in the evening, and, far from confirming the news of the refusal, they represent the negotiations in an encouraging point of view." We are informed the French are going to end eight thousand men to Lisbon. The letters from Lisbon state that Don Miguel con tinues his armaments. The Sydney paper rather gives unfavourable accounts from the Swan River, but they cannot be depended upon. EVENING STAR. LONDON. TUESFAT I RFNE 21. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. THIS DAY. As early as ten o'clock this day, numbers of persons had assembled in the park, and on the line of road from the Horse Guards, down to the Royal entrance of the House of Lords. At eleven o'clock, the Earls Marshall, Sir THOMAS TYRIVHITT, the Ushers of the House, and a body of the Yeomen of the Guard, proceeded to the various avenues be neath the Lords, and made the usual examination, to prevent the placing of combustibles or objection able materials in them. The carriages of the Nobility also began to arrive in rapid succession with ladies, and before twelve o'clock, every avenue that was allowed to be taken possession of, from which a glimpse could be obtained, was occupied. Shortly after, the Peers began to arrive. Mr. LEE, the High Constable, took the command of the parochial officers, and so placed those under his care as to give entire satisfaction. About the same time, a body of the G. Divi sion took their stations in St. James's Palace Court Yard. Ai other body was formed near the Horse Guards, and others around the park—the fronts of the buildings, including the Admiralty, the tops of the Horse Guards, and adjacent buildings, being crowded by genteel persons. Shortly after one o'clock, the royal carriages drove into the court yard of St. James's, where a guard of ho nour had also mounted ; and, a few minutes after two o'clock, his MAJESTY, attended by the officers of State, entered their carriages : that of her MA JESTY followed, a guard of the Royal Horse Guards, blue, closing and attending on it. At half past two His MAJESTY', arrival was announced by the firing of guns from the Surrey shore, and shortly after His MAJESTY appeared on the Throne, when the following gracious speech was delivered : 'THE KING'S SPEECH. " My Lords and Gentkoten, " I have availed myself of the earliest opportu nity of resorting to your advice and assistance, after the dissolution of the late Parliament. " Having had recourse to that measure for the purpose of ascertaining the sense of my people on the expediency of a reform in the representation, I have now to recommend that important question to your earliest and most attentive consideration, confident that in any measures which you may propose for its adjustment, you will carefully adhere to the acknowledged principles of the Constitution, by which the Prerogatives of the Crown, the authority of both Houses of Parliament, and the Rights and Liberties of the People are equally secured. " The assurances of a friendly disposition, which I continue to receive from all Foreign Powers, en courage the hope that, notwithstanding the civil commotions which have disturbed some parts of Europe, and the contest now existing in Poland, the general peace will be maintained. " To the preservation of this blessing, my most anxious care will be constantly directed. " The discussions which have taken place on the affairs of Belgium, have not yet been brought to a conclusion ; but the most complete agreement continues to subsist between the Powers, whose Plenipotentiaries have been engaged in the Con ferences of London. The principle on which these conferences have been conducted, has been that of not interfering with the right of the people of Belgium to regulate their internal affairs, and to establish their Go vernment according to their own views of what may be most conducive to their future welfare and independence, under the sole condition sanc tioned by the practice of nations, and founded on the principles of public law, that, in the exercise of that undoubted right the security of neighbour ing states should not be endangered. A series of injuries and insults for which notwith standing repeated remonstrances, all reparation was withheld, compelled me at last to order a squadron of my fleet to appear before Lisbon, with a peremptory demand of satisfaction. A prompt compliance with that demand prevents the necessity of further mea sures ; but I have to regret, that I have not yet been enabled to re-establish my Diplomatic Rela tions with the Portuguese Government. " Gent tensest of the Howse of Commons, " 1 have ordered Fatimatee of the &peaces of the current year to be laid before you, sad I rely with confidence on your loyalty and zeal to make adequate provision for the public service, u well as for the further application of the sums granted by the Lost Parliament, always keep ing in view the necessity of a wise and wholesome economy in every branch of the public expenditure. 64 My Lords axd Gentlemen, " It gives me great satisfaction to state to you, that the large reduction of taxes which took place in the last and in the present year, with a view to the relief of the labouring classes of the community has not been attended with a proportionate diminution:of public income. I trust that such additional means as may be required to supply a part of the defici ency occasioned by these redactions, may be found without any material abridgement of the comforts of my people. To assist the industry, to improve the resources, and to maintain the credit of the country, on sound principles, and as a safe and lasting foundation, will be at all times the object of my solicitude, in the promo tion of which I look with confidence to your zea lous co-operation. " It is with deep concern that I haynto an nounce to you the continued progress of a formi dable disease, to which my attention had been early directed, in the Eastern puts of Europe. Information having been more recently received that it had extended its ravages to Ports in the Baltic, from whence there is a great com mercial intercourse with my Dominions, I have directed that all the precautions should be taken which experience has recommended, as most effectual for guarding against the introduc tion of so dangerous a malady into this country. " Great distress has unhappily prevailed in some districts, and more particularly in apart of the west ern counties of Ireland, to relieve which in the most pressing cues, I have not hesitated to authorise the application of such means as were imme diately available for that purpose. But assistance of this nature is necessarily limited in its amount, and can only be temporary in its effect. The possibility therefore of introducing any measures, which, by assisting the improvement of the natural resources of the country may tend to prevent the recurrence of such evils, must be a subject of the most anxious interest to me, and to you of the most grave and cautious consideration. " Local disturbances, unconnected with political causes, have taken place both in this part of the United Kingdom, and in Ireland. In the County of Clare, and in the adjoining parts of Roscommon and Galway, a system of violence and outrage had for some time been carried on to an alarming extent; for the suppression of which the constitutional authority of the law has been rigor ously and successfully exerted. By these means the necessity of enacting new laws to strengthen the Executive Government with further powers, will, I trust, be prevented. To avert such* necessity has been, and ever will be, my most earnest desire; but if it should unfortunately arise, I do not doubt your firm resolution to maintain the peace and order of society, by the adoption of such measures as may be required for their more effectual protection." There are two letters in town from Berlin,which concurrently mention the e. DEATH of MERIT/CH as a fact, and one of them ascribes it to apoplexy. The disorganising and demoralising effect on the Russian operations and soldiery, is obvious. The intelligence from Warsaw is to the 9th, and Polish affairs were every where prosperous. Lublin in the south is again in possession of the Poles, the Rus sians having fallen back towards the Bug. General GIZULGUD ht., with his detachment, realized, " the came, saw, and conquer of Cosa." He left Lanza on the 26th of lay; sad within a week, at 140 miles distance, crossed the Niemen or Memel, into Samogitia, driving or dispersing the Russians wherever he found them. In Sono gitia be will soon create a considerable army ; for the people have been some time in general ineur- . action, and their hatred of Russian power has bint inflamed by unparalleled atrocities to both' nisi , and all ages. We may therefore expect soon, so hear of his being in possession of Liban and Mittau—two rich posts on the Baltic, and within 300 miles of Petersburgh. The seat of war will, therefore, be at once transferred to the Dwina, the provinces of which only required a leader like GIELGUD, while imperial vanity is so little pre pared for such ascendancy in rebels, that there appears to be no reserve at Lome to arrest the career of the Poles. They have fixed their gene ral insurrection for the 9th of July ; and that seems now more likely than ever to be the epoch of Polish restoration. Well may DIEBITSCH sicken—well maybe be sick even to MATH !-at the bead df the military resources of so vast an empire, to behold 2 or 300,000 men wasted and destroyed, by an un armed and almost disorganized population! What a lesson to all Governments to put RSDRUII be fore PsllllllllllllT to enquire into cause!, aad to remove them before they end Special Co""Il is " slow to punish, either of lawyers or soldiery.""'
