A. rumour prevailed yesterday in the diploma tic circles, that the KING had refused to sign the decision of the Cabinet Council for the adoption of coercive measures (slight even as they are) against Holland. We are happy to state, that his MAJESTY has not been so unwise as to place hi mse lf aga i n i n oppos i t i on to hi s Minister s . At the same time, however, we are bound to observe, that the delay in giving his approbation has justified painful doubts, consi dering the recent declaration of the WELLING- ToN party, that they were sure of the KING'S - refus a l to confirm the decision of Earl GREY. The latest accounts from Brussels state that LEOPOLD is determined to commence hostili ties, if the Conference do not carry their threats against Holland into execution before the end of November. The Duke de BROGLIE has requested the concurrence of our Cabinet to the entry of a French army into Belgium. The answer has not yet been given. - The speech of the King of HOLLAND is at length published to the world, and is worthy of the obstinacy of his High Mightiness. It breathes nothing but fire and fury—denouncing t ile Belgian question of national independence as a " revolt" —and throwing down the gauntlet of defiance to one and all of the Powers of the i.ortference who shall say or act to the contrary. h ' s would b e all mighty fine if it were not so lamentably ridiculous. After two years of protocol ling for the pacification of Europe, by the amica ble settlement ofthe dispute between Belgium and Holland, and the often -e x ressed disposition of all pa r ti es concerned P to come to a speedy adjust ment, t h e King of HOLLAND now insults the common sense of Europe, and provokes the patience of his best friends, by ha s declaring that he gone to the utmost bounds 9f condescen sion, by the moderation evinced and the offers made to procure a reasonable adjustment." This adjustment clearly means the re-annexation of Belgiu m to Holland. But it is clear that the Dutch KING has had good reason for his conduct, for he assures the Chambers that he receives from the Foreign Powers many proof s of the deep interest they take in his affairs. This vident ly p o i n t s to the Northern Powers, for e France and England are now the only Powers of the Conference who take an interest in a speedy settlement of the question, which it has been, and still is, the policy of the Northern Powers to delay. Indeed, we suspect that the King of HOLLAND has some secret, but unconstitutional, advocate in this country, whose influence in the highest quarter neutralizes the good effect of unanimity in our Councils. The Duke of SALE-WEIMAR may be an excellent General against the Belgians, but his laurels would risk some glory before a French army. Hence the diffi culty of convincing the Dutch KING that England will really go to war against a people in whom the Duke of SAXE-WEIMAIt takes so peculiar an interest. The settlement of the Dutch question at this moment looks very like the far-famed creation of Peers that teas to take place to carry the Reform Bill, and bids very fair to arrive at the same lame and impotent conclusion. But what next ? Aye ! there's the dilemma, and a Reformed House of Commons frowns in the distance. Let intriguers beware. The French Papers of Tuesday contain no news of interest to an English reader. The unpo pularity of the Doctrinnaire Ministry, if possi ble,increases,not only in Paris, but in the Depart ments. A meeting of the English, Prussian, Russian, and Austrian Ambassadors took place at the Duke de BROGLIE'S 011 Tuesday, to dis cuss the plans of the French Government with respect to Belgium and Holland. The result was not known at the departure of the estafette, but there can be little doubt that the Ministry will act up to the spirit of their understanding with the Cabinet of England. The only question is —will the Northern Powers now throw off the mask, and declare in favour of Holland ? The speech of the Dutch KING would seem strongly to support this probability. It is idle to sup pose that the King of HOLLAND would have acted as he has done, without the positive assur ance of assistance, in case of need, from the Northern Powers. However, a day or two will throw more light on this subject. We have elsewhere inserted a letter referring to an article which appeared in The Sun, a few days back, upon the subject of the flour trade which has recently sprung up between this coun try and Calcutta. Mr. ACRAMAN is much mistaken if he imagines that we deprecated such a trade ; on the contrary, we rejoiced in its exist ence, as a fact which must convince the land holders of the futility of their attempt to exclude foreign corn and flour. Whether the flour im ported from India be used in one way or ano ther makes no difference to our argument. With respect to the encouragement which our cor respondent hopes will be given to this new trade, the best encouragement that it or any other trade can receive is to let it alone. An import trade which springs from the demand of the people wants no encouragement, for it will flourish as long as the demand exists. When the demand falls off or ceases, or is supplied from other quarters, no means can be taken to bolster it up which will not be unjust to other parties. The signs of the enlightenment of the people on several topics to which they were, a few years back, complete strangers, multiply upoD, us so fast, as hardly to give us opportunities of re cording them. It is not long since that consi derable numbers really thought that the national welfare was concerned in the exclusion of foreign corn. This was the case with many super ficial thinkers not connected with the landed interest, although, undoubtedly, it was chiefly the might, and not the right of the talkers, that car ried the question in 1815. Thank Heaven ! the ignorance which then existed is passing away like mist before the sun. One of the signs of this, which we have hailed with the liveliest satisfac tion, is the publication of the sixteenth edition of the " Catechism on the Corn Laws." It has been stereotyped, and as its price is only 6d. no man who really wishes to understand all the bearings of this question ought to be without it. The only alteration we could wish to see made in it, is an enlargement of that part where it is proved that the landowners are really losers, as well as the rest of the community, by the ope ration of the corn laws. It is not difficult to persuade a man who is robbed that he is injured by robbery, but it requires rather a longer argu ment to convince the robber that honesty is the best policy even for him. It is true, that in the present case the robber must soon be compelled into honesty, but it is worth while to convert him, if by so doing, honest men can be the sooner secured in the enjoyment of the produce of their labour. In the meantime, that the honest men may clearly understand the ground upon which they stand, we will quote six lines from the work before us. "If NOAH had shut himself up in his ark, and let his family eat nothing but what could be grown upon his decks, he would soon have had an outcry against popula tion, and an emigration committee ; and SHEM, HAM, and JAPHET, would have been distressed manufacturers? manufacturing nation has, or ought to have, like NOAH, no limit but the world. What lie was to do by digging, it can do by spinning, and inducing other men to dig What is clear is, that the felicity of the existing genera tion depends upon progression, as it did with NOAH. It can make no difference except in the size of the experiment, whether men be confined to corn of an ark or of an island." Brussels Papers of yesterday's date have been received. They contain no news of a positive character with regard to the question of peace or war ; but the rumour ran in Brussels that the French army would cross the frontiers on the 20th. This is possible, but we think the effect of the Dutch King's Speech on the Conference will be first ascertained before so decided a movement takes place : BRUSSELS, OCT. 14.—Their Majesties arrived from Laecken at one o'clock yesterday. The King transacted business with General Goblet, and afterwards with the Ministers of Justice and the Interior. At half-past two his Majesty received the Presidents and Attorneys-General of the Courts of Cassatio❑ and Appeal, who took the oaths. His Majesty afterwards received the Deputation from Vervierg. The gentlemen composing it conversed with his Majesty on our commercial relations with different countries, among others with Prussia. M. Tielmans yesterday had a private audience of the King. It having been decided that the Electoral College of Brussels had been regularly convoked for the election of one candidate only, the electors did not proceed yesterday to the election of a successor to M. de Brouckere. The votes were divide-1 between M. F. Meeus, Governor of the Bank, and M. Defacqz, Member of the Tribunal of Brus sels. The first had 120, the second 119 votes. M. peens was accordingly declared duly elected. Two squidrons of gendarmes, of East and West Flan ders, have been ordered to Terveren, where all the squa drons of gendarmes will form, as well as the Royal Guides, a brigade of cavalry. Our army has now 56 , quadrons of light and heavy cavalry. A letter from Antwerp of the 13th says :—" Yesterday at sun-set, an inhabitant of this city, returning by water from Rurcht, was suddenly assailed, when off the cidadel, by a firing of musketry from the Dutch ; he escaped by binding at Milkburg, whence he returned to the city. At the same moment a boat, with men and an officer of our squadron, having, it is said, a barrel on 'elan!, and another with gun flints, were drawn into the Polder by the current, in the cut through the Dike of Burcht ; the Dutch took possession of them, but the boats and the whole of their contents were immediately restored. We are assured that an officr, with a flag of truce, was sent this morning early to the Tke de Flandi es. " The day before yesterday a transport full of soldiers carne to the citadel, and yesterday the boat, the Citadel of Antwerp, also arrived there. To-day there have arrived many boats laden se i'h provisions.' 13etuss5t.s, OCT. 15.—A Royal Ordinance convokes the Electoral Colleges of several towns and districts, for the election of repres ntatives or senators, in the roam of those gentlemen who have vacated their seats by occupy ing appointments in the Courts of Justice. We learn that some battalions of the reserve have re ceived orders to join the battalions in the field. Count Comelissen set out last night at ten o'clock with des patches for Genera Merex, at Berlin, and Barni de Loe, at Vienna. BRUSSELS, OCT. 16.—Yesterday at noon the King, ac companied by General Desprez and General d'Hane de Steenhuyse went to he present at the reviews of four bat talions of the line and three kittalions of the civic guard of Antwerp. General Goethals commanded the ma , eeuvres. General Sir C. Doyle, who arrived at Brussels that very morning, was present at the review in his uni form, and conversed several times with the King. Several battalions of the reserve are to be reviewed successively from the 15th to the 22d. The battalion of the civic guard of Nieuport was expected on the 16th at Bruges, whence it would go to Hazegros to relieve the battalion of the civic guard of Brussels stationed there, which, with the other battalion now at Bruges, is to go to Everglien, where it will be cantoned. A large park of artillery has been sent to Boom. A private letter says that the camp of Diest has just been broken up, and that the 20,000 troops in it hive proceeded to the frontier. G.tneral Hurel, commanding the l st division, (by which he has been extremely well received), has partial re views of the troops every day. He expresses himself highly satisfied with the appearance and conduct of the men. M. Tielvinans set out this morning for Liege: it seems certain that he retires into private life, and intends to settle at Liege as advocate. The Memorial says " we learn that a change of Mi nistry is seriously contemplated; the most profound secrecy is observed respecting the persons intended to form part of the new Ministry." The head-quarters will be transferred to Louvain. General Desprez and his staff set out for that city to morrow. M. Boorman, Inspector-General of the army, first goes t 3 Louvain to morrow, to organize the relays of the Port of Diest Lierre, and other places, for the service of the Royal head-quarters. M. Dagnon and M. Tornezy, belonging to the Com miss dat of the French army, arrived at Brussels yesterday afternoon, to make all necessary arrangements for the sub sistence of the French army on its entrance into Belgium. —Brussels Papers, Oct. 17. VIENNA, OCT. s.—The Aulic Counsellor Werner has been sent to Toplitz to his Majesty the King of Prussia; it is believed that he has a very important mission. 6.---Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Angott leme has arrived here to-day. and is lodged in the Impe_ tial Palace. She had previously paid a visit to the Impe ral Court at Schoenbrunn, and was received with the highest respect by their Majesties, and by all the members of the Imperial Family now at Schoenhrunn. Monsigneur Ossini, the new Papal Nuncio, has arrived, and will have his first audience in a few days. Count Pozzo di Borgo foes not leave Vienna till the 9th. It seems that the pa'ace at Austerlitz will be the residence of Charles X. at d his family. Count Damas is gone to look at it. For these three weeks the weather has been extremely fine. The cholera has entirely vanished, and the mortality is less than usual at this season of the year. Five per Cent. Metalliques, 87 9-16 ; Bank Shares, 1,135. —.Allgemeine Zeitung, Oct. 11. LITERATURE. FAMILY LIBRARY.—No. XXXIV. The present number comprises a Memoir of Peter the Great, which, though it contains no very original information, the subject having been already worn thread-bare, is yet extremely interesting from the variety of its anecdotical matter, and the adroit way in which it has been digested. The author, we are glad to see, scouts the idea of Voltaire's history of this extraordinary savage, being a romance, as it has so frequently been said to be, (solely, we suppose, because the illustrious historian was a writer of fiction,) and states, that it is perfectly authentic, with the exception of one or two unimportant matters of detail. The present work is not a little indebted to it for many of its most interesting facts, and forms a very entertaining volume. The funeral procession of THOMAS HARDY, HORNE TooKz's fellow-sufferer, passed our office to-day, at about half-past 1 o'clock. It consisted of 16 mourning "aches, one private carriage, an open barouche (in which sat Mr. HENRY HUNT), and some hundred of persons on foot, chiefly respecta b le art i zens. We shall give further uarticulars tc-inorrow. We are assured that there were on one day last week no less than sixteen accidents in the Middlesex Hospital occasioned by cab-drivers. BONE DUST.—The effects produced from . bone dust, in the cultivation of the soil, are really aston ishing. A gentleman, who used the dust of boiled bones on a rank dry soil, declares that its effects were visible three weeks afterwards. Boiled bones were but half the price of other bones, while they came much sooner into operation ; and a friend had assured him, that a field which be had dusted five years ago with boiled bones was now quite as good as in the first year.—Anglo Germanic Advertiser. ANECDOTE OF JUSTICE LAWRENCE.- After his death the following anecdote was circulated of Mr. Justice LAWRENCE :—A cause had been tried before him at York, in which he had summed up to the Jury to find a verdict for the defendant, which they accordingly did. O❑ further consideration it appeared to him that he had mistaken the law. A verdict having been recorded against the plaintiff he had no redress ; but it was said that Mr. Justice LAWRENCE left him by his Will sum sufficient to indemnify him for his loss.—Frazer's :Magazine. There is one insurmountable difficulty in the way of the gradual abolition of slavery. If a part of the negroes were liberated whilst the rest continued in slavery, not only those who remained slaves would be irritated be yond measure, but the free negroes would'positively refuse to work with them, and therefore the fields would be only half cultivated. Everywhere the free negro refuses to do the work of a slave, though he would do the very same work if it were not appropriated to slaves. So highly do the negroes estimate the dignity of freedom, so much do they feel the debasement of slavery. But liberate the whole, and no kind of labour would have the stigma of slave's labour attached to it. In our minds, then, the pro priety of immediate emancipation is made out by the folliwing reasons :._lst. Because justice demands it ; 2d. Because delay would be attended with no advantage ; 3d. Because the slaves may be safely emancipated at once; 4 th. Because that emancipation wou:d immensely benefit both the planter and the negro, whilst it rescued this country from the foulest blot on its scutcheon. To which we add as general arguments in favour of emancipation-sth. Be cause a free population would be more cheaply governed than a slave population ; and 6th. Because the former would afford an incomparably better demand for the ma nufactures of the mother country than the latter.--Leeds Mercury. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY.) THE KING, AT THE PROSECUTION OF THE SOCIETY FOR TIIE SUPPRESSION OF VICE, AGAINST JAMES KEMP, APPELLANT, This was an appeal from a conviction, by Mr. Raw linson, of the defendant, for, on the 3d of September last, indecently exposing his person, with intent to insult some females. Mr. ALLEY was Counsel for the prosecution, and Mr. Ano',rims appeared for the appellant. Charles Walker Wheeler deposed, that he was in the employ of the Society for the prevention of cruelty to animals. On the 3d of September last, he was in Bos ton-fields, Regent's Park, about four o'clock, when he sa w the defendant standing near three children, a boy and two girls, in a very indecent man ner ; he went up to him and said " you beast, what do you do that for ?"—the defendant then hastily buttoned up and went away. . The witness then also went about his business. In about an hour and a half he had again occasion to pass through the same fields, when, in another part, near an empty house, be again saw the defendant in the same attitude as before, also near some children. Being exasperated, he followed him, and id not lose sight of him till he gave him into custody. While he was waiting for the police, they were surrounded by a number of women, who said " that is the nasty old man who has been here about this month past," and fell upon him with mud and stones, and also tore his coat off. Cross-examined by Mr. ADOLPHUS—For the last five years he had been employed in various ways ; frequently by the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, to attend country markets. He had also been employed to get signatures in favour of Mr. Kinnon's Bill, and in various other ways. Mr. ADOLPHUS—Have your told us all your employ ments during that time ? Witness—Yes. Mr. AnoLnius—You forget the time you shone as a policeman. Witness—No, I don't; I was coming to that. Was in the Police till within the last 14 months; was not dismissed in disgrace. There was a charge of drunkenness against him, but it was false. Never was turned out of the force for being a had character.—(Mr. ADOLPHUS—" We shall see.")—Had found out the friends of the children, but not themselves; he meant he had seen several parties who said their children played in those fields, and had been insulted ; but, in fact, had never tried to find the parents of the others : it was not his business. Patrick Tierney, a policeman, was on duty near the spot on the 311 of September. Was called upon to res cue the defendant from a number of women. After he was given in charge, they followed and pelted them the whole way to the station-house. Several other witnesses were called, hut did not appear. Mr. AnnLrrius then addressed the jury for the defend ant. He said in cases of that kind, the character of the person eccused, and as well as of the witnesses, were of as much consequence as the facts detailed. He would prove most satisfactorily that the appellant was a ►nost respect able man, in every• sense of the word—that on the day in question he was not out of his house from an early hour in the morning till after five o'clock, and further that the witness Wheeler was not entitled to belief, even on his oath, in the opinion of many respectable men under whose charge he had been. He had such an answer to the case as would do away with the necessity of his detaining the Court further. He then called Police Inspectors Morgan and Card, who severally de posed that while Wheeler was in the police, they being then Sergeants ; they had frequently reported to Inspector Fagan that he was not of a good character, and unfit to be in the force ; they would not believe him on his oath. Mr. Fagan carroborated these witnesses, and would not believe him on his oath. Mrs. Snail, a widow, residing in the same house with the prisoner, and Sophia Lumpton, both distinctly proved that he was not out of the house between three and five o'clock. Mr. ADOLPHUS was proceeding to call other witnesses, but the Court interrupted the Learned Gentleman, and said they were quite satisfied the conviction ought to be quashed. Mr. LAING, of Hatton-Garden, who was on the Bench all the time, said he attended purposely to give the accused the benefit of the knowledge he had of his character. He had known him 33 years, and a more blameless man he had never met with. The prisoner (a respectable looking old man) was then discharged, to the seeming pleasure of a very full Court. OLD BAILEY.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. This morning these Sessions commenced before the Right Hoe. the LORD MAYOR, Mr. Justice TINDALL, Mr. Justice PARK, and Mr. Baron VAUGUAN. John Phillips, aged 20, was indicted for stealing three pair of boot-hooks, the property of Henry and William Alnutt. It appeared that nn Friday night, the 28th September, about S'clock, a constable observed the prisoner and two others near the shop of the prosecutors, who are ivory turners in Piccadilly, and after a short time they crossed over, and went away. The constable then went into the shop, and upon stating his suspicions, it was ascertained that a pane of glass had been broken, and three pairs of ivory-handled boot-hooks taken from the window. About 10 o'clock the same night another con stable saw the prisoner, with another man and two women, standing under a gas lamp in Parliament-street ; the pri soner was showing his companions some boot-hooks, and the constable suspecting that he had stolen them, took him into custody. The three pair of boot-hooks, which proved to have been taken from the prosecutors' shop, were found on his person. Two witnesses gave the prisoner an excellent character. The Jury found a verdict of Guilty. NEW COURT. Richard Allen was indicted for stealing, on the 29th of September, a copper kettle, nut•cracks, chisels, a brass chain, and several other articles, from his master, Mr. Joseph Reynolds, an ironmonger, residing in Frith-street, Sobo. Mr. Reynolds stated that the prisoner had been his porter between one and two years, at a salary of 1/. a week. On the 29th of September witness discovered four pair of nut-cracks concealed in a hole in the shop, after the prisoner had closed it up, and being determined to find out for what purpose they had been placed there, he sent the prisoner out with a lamp, and immediately went round to the aperture where the nut-cracks were concealed, and found them gone. Ile immediately sent after the prisoner, and taxed him with the robbery, which he stoutly denied. Witness then sent for a policeman and searched the prisoner, and found the nut-cracks upon him, together with ten sovereigns and ten shillings. The lodgings of the prisoner, who is a married man, were searched, and there the other articles mentioned in the indictment were found. A policeman stated that he took the prisoner into cus tody, and found the property mentioned upon him. Three witnesses gave the prisoner an excellent ch iracter. Mr. PHILLIPS, who appeared for the prisoner, asked Mr. Reynolds if he would give the prisoner a character? Mr. Reynolds said he could not, for he had no doubt that the money that was found upon him was the produce of some of the goods purloined from his shop. It was impossible that a person only getting 1/. a week could have so large a sum honestly. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty. -Edward Deuling, a respectable young man in ap pearance, was indicted for stealing on the 3d of Septem ber 24 silver forks, 24 silver spoons, and several other ar ticles of plate, the property of John Hamilton, Esq., a so licitor, residing in Berners-street. A clerk of Mr. Hamilton's stated, that Dowling, who was a footman in the employ of Mr. Hamilton, was left in care of the house during the absence of the family from town. On being informed by some of the other ser vants that the prisoner had absented himself for several nights from the house, and that he had been getting drunk, witness sent for him, told him of the impropriety of his conduct, said that he should be obliged to inform Mr. Hamilton of it, and the result probably would be that he would lose his place. The prisoner appeared very low spirited. In about half an hour after this occurrence had taken place, witness heard the street door open, and saw the prisoner go by with a bundle in his hand, but think ing lie was going of an errand, he took no notice of it. In a few days afterwards witness saw the prisoner at the station-house ; he then acknowledged the robbery. A policeman, No. 38, stated that be was on duty in Berners-street, on the 6th of September, when the pri- soner came up to him and stated that he had been looking for him all the day. Witness asked for what? The pri soner said to take him into custody, as be had robbed bill master. Winess then took the prisoner to the station house, when he stated that in Rosemary-lane lie met a female who asked if he had not got plate there, and if he wanted to sell it. Prisoner said that he had, and wished to dispose of it.

The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, and Mr. Serjeant ARABIN sentenced him to be trinsported for life. 7'homas Clements was indicted for stealing from the house of the Rev. Mr. Ellesby, of Mornington-terrace, on the 17th of September, 31b. of roast beef, half a pound of butter, a loaf, and several pears and apples. Police constable, 174, division S, stated that between two and three o'clock, on the morning of the 17th of September, he saw the prisoner coming over the ar. , a of the prosecutor's house, in Mornington•terrace. Witness asked him what he had been there for ? Ile said to get something to eat, as he was almost famished. The Rev. Mr. Ellerby had no doubt the property stolen was his. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, hut strongly re commended him to mercy. _ _ _ The Reverend Mr. Ellerby stated that he had made inquiries, and found that the prisoner was in a most des titute condition ; that he had been for some time lying about in the streets, and had had no food for two days. It was very probable that the safe was open, and the night being light, the poor fellow could not withstand the tempt ing appearance of the meat. Mr. Wontner said, when the prisoner was brought to Newgate he was almost famished. Mr. Serjeant ARABIN said the recommendation of the Jury in favour of the prisoner should he attended to.

By the French Mail this morning we have the following : " A certain rich banker at Frankfort bought some land belonging to that town, hut on the land being made over to him, the acceptance of his name was refused, owing to his being an Israelite, as, according to the laws of Frankfort, a Hebrew can possess a house in the town, a garden, or a country house near the barriers, but not any landed property in the villages or its environs; in consequence of which the Hebrew has made an appeal, and declared publicly that he would not in future lend one kreutzer to anyof the German Governments before he knew the issue of his trial, and in the even t of his gaining it he would in all probability purchase the whole of the territory of Frankfort. It may easily be imagined who this Hebrew capitalist is." A report prevailed in the Sentinelle of Bayonne, that a conspiracy was detected at Catalogne, in order to place Don Carlos on the throne of Spain, and six of its prin ciple chiefs bad been shot. The French army of the North has been preparing for its advance into Belgium for severaldays past ; the besieging park of artillery and pontoons were assembled at Douai, only waiting orders for their departure to Belgium. The French army is full of ardour. THE FUNDS. The King of Holland's speech has at length made its appearance, and, we may say, with a vengeance. It is full of war, and nothing hut war, on every• side. As regards the Funds, the Dutch speech has not had much effect on the market. Consols opened this morning at the same price they left off at yesterday, 84i for the Account ; at present they are 83j S 4, with little doing. HALF-PAST ONE. The Dutch mail has arrived, and brings the Dutch Funds lower, by the private letters, about per Cent. 41 e. One I- tter also states, that great anxiety pre. veils there in respect to the English and French fleets making their appearance, but his Dutch Majesty is stated to be resolute in his defence. Up to the present hour we have no further news from Portugal of a fresh date. It appears that on the 6th instant two English vessels, from Newfoundland, ap peared off the Tagus, but they were not suffered to enter. We hear that Admiral Parker has sent to Don Miguel to know his objection to English vessels being permitted to enter the Tam.

The desolate, yet grand scenery of Spain, that land of song and chivalry ; the faded glories of the once-splendid Alhambra, sometime the habitation of the mighty potentates of the earth ; the bright-eyed beauties of the land dancing the graceful b dero to the click of the castanets, are sketched with a vividity and freshness that enchant the soul of the reader, and make him fancy that he walks the sacred ground where kings and warriors have so often trod." The Royal Academy, in Somerset House, is in a most disgrac e f u l s t ate o f unc l eanness , b o th i n the in terior and exterior. We much question if either paint, white-wash, or even soap has been used in any of the apartments for years. When we consider this Royal In- Aitution, the Patron of which is the KING himself, surely these highly honoured exclusives ought to evince more gratitude to their SOVEREIGN by " keeping their house in order." , „ SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS The speech of the Kmg of Holland at the opening of the States-General has naturally, in the present posture of European affairs, and in the present stage of the negotiations for settling the Belgic question, been expected with much interest and anxiety. The document itself, which we present in another part of our paper, will, we are afraid, neither satisfy that interest nor remove that anxiety. His Dutch Majesty, it will be observed, expresses his disappointment at. his inability to announce the termination o the difficulties occasioned by "the revolt in Belgium," for such is the manner in which he still speaks of a revolution which severed for ever the dominion of the Belgic provinces from the family of Nassau. He then takes credit to himself for " a moderation," which, instead of leading to a final adjustment, had only in creased " unreasonable demands," and he makes this complaint before Belgium, whose " revolt" !tie had undertaken a military invasion to sub due, and before Europe, of whose Sove ,eigns and Plenipotentiaries he had refused the advice and rejected the award. The next paragraph, in which his Majesty an 'ounces " the deep interest taken by Foreign Powers in the affairs of Holland," and boasts of her means of defence against foreign aggres sion, speaks volumes in support of his present resolution to decline all the reasonable overtures of peace which his Allies have lately pressed upon his acceptance. His allusion to the amount and efficiency of " his land and sea forces,"—to their " experience and discipline," —to the possibility of increasing them if neces sary,—to the conduct of the local authorities, in calling out and organizing the militia,—to the readiness of the recruits to join their brothers in arms,—and to the provision made for the families whose supporters should become martyrs to the public cause,—all breathe war and defiance. But if these declarations were not sufficient, the concluding paragraph of the Royal speech is suf ficiently explicit on the subject. The " glory of ancestors" is never appealed to except when their posterity are to be roused to emulate ex ploits which made them renowned ; and " the fruit of noble perseverance" is never expected, unless it is to be plucked from apprehended dangers. On the eve or in the midst of a war with all the Powers of Europe, no Sove reign could use more solemn expressions of trust in Providence, or more decided resolu tions of appealing to victory, than the King of Holland in his address to his Legislative Chambers. Unless, then, the Dutch Government instantly changes its whole system of conduct—or unless all the great Powers of Europe abandon the treaty which they have ratified with Belgium, after 18 months of patient deliberation—there seems to be no means left for avoiding a hostile collision between Holland and the two most ac tive members of the European league, In such state of things, the public may be expected to isk what his Dutch Majesty really demands as the alternative of war ; and, notwithstanding all their previous information, they will no doubt he surprised to learn that he will be satisfied with nothing less than the re-subjugation of Belgium. He has hitherto shown no disposition to acknow 'edge its independence, and even in the present speech he speaks of its " revolt." The propo sal to close the Scheldt—to which he knew that neither Belgium nor the other commercial States of Europe could for a moment listen—is found at last to be only advanced as a means of pro crastination, in order that he might take the ad vantage of all favourable accidents, or as a mode of bringing back the Belgians under his yoke, from a regard to their trading interests. But such a termination of the Belgic " revolt" has never been contemplated for the last eighteen months by any body beyond the precints of Bed lam or of the Palace of the Hague. The con nection between the family of Nassau and the Belgic provinces was irrevocably destroyed by the bombardment of Antwerp, and by the decree of deposition passed in the National Congress at Brussels. All the world then saw that a resto ration without a war was impossible, and that a war to restore William of Nassau to Brussels would be a war to restore the Bourbons to the ruileries,—a war, therefore, of opinion all over Europe. No statesman was more sensib'e of this fact than the Duke of Wellington; and herefore no Minister was more ready than his Grace to confirm by a treaty the separation which "revolt" had effected. On the very day of the ineeting of Parliament, in November, 1830, M. Van de Weyer arrived hi England, as Envoy from the Belgic Provisional Government ; Ind before the Duke had left office (towards the end of the month) it had been decided by th e five Powers which now compose the Con rerence, that Belgium should be independent. The demand of the King of Holland for the interference of his allies to reconquer his " re volted" subjects was on this ground rejected, and nothing remained for the Conference but to prevent the invasion of Holland by the Belgians, then the victorious party, and to effect a separa tion on equitable terms between the two sets of provinces which the act of 1815 had united. That adjustment, after long delays, and through numerous difficulties, has been effected. It has received the sanction of all the powers of Europe. It has, in fact, become as much a part of European public law as the erection of the kingdom of Bavaria, or even of the throne of Nassau itself. A new Sovereign has been elected by the new state, and has reigned over the Belgians for fifteen months—without a riot, without a murmur of dissatisfaction, and with the re cognition of every European Power. We .ire parties to the treaty in question, and in the interest of Holland itself we arc bound to see it l ac le ectited Kin , g ev o e at t f n Holi le a i nd fazard of resistance.isomeof from the Tory prints—with a mischievous infatuation, or with In anti patriotic selfishness which is almost in conceivable—call upon the Dutch to resist our demands. Are they aware of what they are do ing ? Are they alive to the results which may follow from their counsels ? We have had wars with the Dutch before, and we can easily calcu late the extent of our own losses and the amount of theirs. Our Tories, who would alarm or disgust their own countrymen at any attempt to coerce Holland into a peace for her own benefit and for the tranquillity of Europe, perpetually dun into our ears the disgraceful union of England with France to oppress the Dutch republic in the time of Charles IL—but have they forgotten the events of the 20 years preceding that alliance ? Have they forgotten that in the period of our history when popular power was supposed to be most predominant, and when the national sentiment was understood to be expressed with the greatest freedom, Eng land declared war against the Dutch ? Have they forgotten that both in 1652 and 1664 both under the Commonwealth and the Res toration—we thought ourselves obliged to declar6 war against Holland, and to support our hostile _ •; ;;. 0
