We are enabled, by means of a letter which reached us yesterday from Holland, but at too late an hour for notice then, to communicate the following authentic information respecting the answer of the King of HOLLAND to the sum mons of the British and French Cabinets for the surrender of the Citadel of Antwerp. The KING in respectful but absolute terms, refuses to obey the summons, or to recognize the right of the two Cabinets to make such a demand. In refusing, however, to comply with the demand, the KING professes still to entertain an anxious desire for the settlement of the difference between Holland and Belgium by ne gotiation, provided it can be done without the sacrifice of the essential interests of Holland (a vague expression) or the compromise of na tional honour; but the KING will not negotiate at the dictation of Great Britain and France . He will only treat with Belgium under the aus. pices of the Five Powers united in Conference as heretofore. The language of the KI NG'S answer is, through•• Out, moderate, and it is this moderation per haps, which has induced Lord PALMER. • . We have received a letter from our (Morning Herald) Brussels Correspondent, from which we extract the following : The treaty between England and France is likely to embarrass the Belgian question more than all the protocols that have been published for the last twelve months. By the new arrange ment, Belgium and Holland are called on to evacuate the territories they now hold, which, agreeably to the Treaty of London, were to be restored to the rightful owners withi n a cer t a i n period. That is, Belgium must begin by giving up Venloo, Lembourg, and Luxembourg into the hands of the Dutch ; and then, on the refusal of the King of Holland to fulfil his part of the contract, the fleet is to sail, and the French are to attack Antwerp. This is the only construction that can be placed on the Treaty. The whole of Luxembourg must be evacu ated. This province has nothing to do with the Conference of London, or with the 24 Articles, and is solely in the hands of the Ger manic Confederates. The Diet have already decided that the Belgians must give up all claims to the Duchy, and that should they he called on to protect the interest of one of their own body, they should be obliged to answer the demand. The King of Holland has now made a formal appeal to the Confederation, and has laid before them the arrest of M. Piscatore. The Diet immediately assembled, and on Wed nesday evening last despatches were received from Frankfort of a decisive nature, signed by the Plenipotentiaries of Austria and Prussia. The position of - Luxembourg must therefore be arranged before any decisive steps can be taken ; or, it is more than probable, the troops of the Confederates may enter the country at the same time the French pass the frontier. The town of Antwerp is in a dreadful agi tated state, and the inhabitants are leaving it in shoals. The merchants, in consequence of a notice from the English and French Consuls for all foreign vessels to leave the port with the least possible delay, are shipping their goods, and trade of every description is at a stand still. The bankers and capitalists are also much alarmed in consequence of the Bank having publicly announced, that they should refuse to discount any paper—even Government secu rities ; and that no more money would be lent on public funds. The arrival within the last few days of several small vessels at Niel with powder and bales from Douai has greatly increased the alarm, and the once flourishing city of Antwerp will soon present the appearance of a deserted village. The Dutch continue throwing in pro visions and ammunition into the citadel, and there is every appearance that they are preparing, in case of any untoward event, for a most des perate resistance. resistance alone to the demands of Great Britain and France may cause? No ! The conse quences which he threatens have a greater range. He has not thus long resist ed without secret assurances of support, and he believes that the first shot fired against the Citadel of Antwerp will be the signal of an European war. Whether he has ground for such belief remains to be seen, but it is worthy of remark, that Russia has protested against hostile intervention, and that up to this moment Prussia has made only ge neral professions of a desire not to impede the progress of negotiation, by upholding Holland in unreasonable demands. We are not surprised that Lord PA LMER STON, after having boasted that the demonstra tion of intended coercion would bring the King of HOLLAND to his senses, is now alarmed at the probable result of further interference, and that be talks of the publicity of negotiation for the attainment of the object in view. His Lordship knows very well that after having coldly abandoned the Polish nation to its fate, and allowed the usurper of Portugal to insult with impunity the British character and flag, be will not find much support in the prosecution of a war against Holland. He may well, therefore, regret having gone so far, but be cannot retreat. The honour of the country is engaged to Belgium ; we are bound by treaty to do an act of justice to LEO POLD, after having so long made him the suf 'erer by the protocolizing system of delay ; and it we were even mean enough to give way to the Dutch champion of the Tory faction here, we are to remember that the French Governmeni can neither be so mean nor so tame. The Bel• gian question is with the French Ministry a " to be or not to be"—upon that they are to stand or fall. We direct attention to the private corres pondence of a Morning Paper from Brussels, by which it will be seen that the embarrassment at tending the settlement of the Belgian Question increases v‘ith the delay. This is mainly attri butable to the disingenuous conduct of the Dutch King, and the perfidy of his secret advisers, Russia, Prussia, and Austria. We have all along denounced this hypocrisy on their part, and events but too clearly now prove that we were right. France and England have no alterna tive but to bring the King of HOLLAND to his senses in quick time, and should Prussia, Russia, and Austria interfere, after all their pro testations of sincerity, the course of France and England is clear. Let a manifesto issue forth, proclaiming a free Consti tution to Prussia and the German states-- let the nationality of Poland be confirmed, and her independence restored—and Jet liberty be guaranteed to the Italian Repub lics—and the three despots of the North will have enough to employ their armies, without encouraging the King of HOLLAND in his disgraceful course. Brussels and German Papers (especially the former) contain several significant bits of intel ligence, all of which are of a hostile character and tendency. A letter from Vienna, dated October 2.5, states, " We have little political news ; but it seems certain that Austria and Russia have agreed on a new basis with respect to the Belgian question, according to which the entrance of the French into Belgium would not be allowed." Count Pozzo DI BORGO, who seems to flit over the Continent like an evil spirit, has, we learn, just arrived at Frankfort. By a letter from Brussels, which will be found in another column, it will be seen that Antwerp is in a frightful state of agitation ; the inhabitants are leaving it in shoals ; the merchants are shipping their goods ; trade of every description is at a stand-still ; the Bank has refused to discount even government securities ; and the Dutch are continually throwing in provisions and am munitions into the Citadel, as if they confidently anticipated hostilities:— BRUSSELS, Nov. 2.—We can affirm and maintain, in spite of the continued contradictions of the Memorial and the Emancipation, that it was resolved in the Conference of London, on Saturday last (27th October) that nothing ►hould be done in any way for the solution or the defer ring of the Belgic question till an answer should have been received at London to the despatches sent on Saturday night to Berlin and Petersburgh by the English Cabinet messenger, M. Krause, who passed through Brussels on Monday last at seven o'clock in the evening.—Courrier Beige. Our Ministry must now perceive, as we do, the inuti- lity and unfoundedness of all the hopes which the vulgar have for some d tys entertained of a speedy conclusion of our affairs by diplomatic means, or by the pretended coer cive measures of France and England. We would ask whether it at length thinks of obtaining this solution by our own means ? - We are assured that an agreement has been signed between the new Ministers, by which they have engaged to obtain at least a commencement of the solution by to-morrow (3d Nov.), or retire. If this agreement really exists, the Moniteur will, doubtless, give us to-morrow STON to say that he considers it possible still to arrange matters without the alternative of war ; but the tone of the Dutch Cabinet is as firm as it is temperate, and there is not the slightest ground for supposing that the King of 1-10L LAND will yield on any material point. There is, besides, one remarkable phrase in the answer to which we direct the attention of the reader, premising that we report it correctly in spirit, al though not perhaps entirely so in words. The King of HOLLAND, in disclaiming the right of dictation on the part of the Cabinets of Great Britain and France, warns them, that f they persist in their present course they will be re sponsible for all the consequences that may ensue. What are the consequences to which the king of HOLLAND alludes ? The destruc tion of Antwerp, or the loss of life which his 'either the declaration of war by Belgium against Holland, or the ordinance ,aec.F;l:7n.- ;:.c resignation of Messrs. Lehean and Rogier.—Courrier Beige. Our private letters from London, which we shall give to-morrow, announce that the King of Holland has re turned unopened the summons addressed to him in the name of England and France.— Courrier Beige. M. de Tallenay, Secretary to the French Legation, set out the day before yesterday for Paris, with despatches from the French Minister Plenipotentiary. ANTWERP, OCT. 31.—Several merchants of this city have been engaged since yesterday in securing their mer chandise. We hear that two Dutch sailors have arrived herein a boat, having deserted their ship. A Dutch officer has come to claim the sailors, and the boat in which they made their escape ; but it bas been declared a good prize. It is observed that several vessels remain at anchor in th e middle of the river, and put their goods into lighters, which convey them to 'Matinee. Several French vessels coming► from Douai, laden with powder &c., ttlects for the artillery, have arrived by the &lel !tat Niel. A country house has been hire , : by the French in that Commune as a depot for the powder, which has already been landed by the French artillerymen, who came on hoard these vessels.—Brussels Papers, Nov. 3. FRA NEFORT, OCT. 30.--His Excellency Count Pozzo di Bingo has arrived here. The Mannheim, Gazette of this date contains a letter from this city relative to pre tended various excesses at a meeting in the Sandhof:— "At a meeting in the Sandhof the act of the Vienna Coegres, was burnt. After the banquet, the persons who were present parade.] the streets, singing patriotic songs and the Marseillois,' and crying 'Long live La fayette, the hero of two worlds We are able to affirm that nothing is known here of this pretended occurrence, and that the statements in the article are false.—Frankfort Papers, Oct. 31. . VIENNA, OCT. 25.—His Majesty the Emperor came from Schoenbrunn yesterday, and gave audience to a great number of persow, after which he returned to Schoen hrunn, where the Court will remain till the end of the month. The Duchess of Angouletne and her niece set out to-day for Prague, where Charles X. will arrive to morrow. We have little political news, but it seems certain, that Austria and Russia have agreed on a new basis with re spect to the Belgian question, according to which the en trance of the French into Belgium would not be allowed. The accounts from Turkey are better. The arrival of the Grand Irtz'er in the capital, has considerably abated the hen-ral despondency, fur all classes have unbounded confidence in this really remarkable man, and he is adored by his soldiers, among whom he spends most of his time, and shares among them all that he has. Letters from Monastir represent him as a man of about 45 years of age, held even to rashness, acute and decided. He allows only four hours in 24 to sleep, and three for transacting the business of administration in his office. TRIESTE, OCT. 9.—The latest accounts from Alexan dria contain no official account of any naval battle, but express a conjecture that none has taken place. They confirm, however, the arrival of some captured ships, which the Egyptians probably cut off from the Turkish fleet by some skiflul manoeuvring. The accounts from Greece relative to the struggles be ttveen the parties, are more and more satisfactory. Colo cotroni has made his peace with the new Government, and other leaders of parties have followed his example. VIENNA, OCT. 26.—Five per Cent. Metalliques, 861 ; Four per Cents., 754; Bank Shares, I,l26l—Allge meirre Zeitung, Oct. 31. It was currently rumoured this morning, it: the Court of King's Bench, that Sir THOMAS DENMAN has received an appointment, as suc cessor to Lord TENTERDEN, and that Mr. Serjeant WILDE is appointed Solicitor-Gene ral,—the present Solicitor-General, Sir Wm. HORNE, being appointed to succeed Sir THOMAS DENMAN. In support of the truth_ of the rumour, it is known that Sir THOMAS DENMAN, who has been absent from Court all the morning, has returned the briefs upon which he had to make motions to-day. Since writing the above we have heard, on respectable authority, that Sir THOMAS DEN MAN has been appointed Lord Chief Jus tice, with the probability of being raised to the Peerage. We are sure he amply merits both, if consistency of political conduct, eminent legal ability, and high moral worth, be any recommendations to distinguished honours and exalted station. The French Papers of Sunday have been re ceived, but they contain no news of importance. The French Correspondent of the Morning Chronicle, although, generally speaking, he ma- nifests great acuteness in his observations, is sometimes lamentably at fault with respect to his facts. For instance, in the first part of a long letter in to-day's paper, the writer quite pities the people of England on account of the dearness of their food as compared with that of the people of Paris ; but it so happens that the prices he quotes are very nearly those now prevailing in London, and when we take the difference in the value of money into consi deration, we do not think that provisions here are actually dearer than in Paris. The principal object of 0. P. Q.'s letter, however, appears to be to show that the finances of France are in such a miserable condition, that she has it not in her power to vindicate her dignity, if attacked by foreign countries. As well might it be argued that England is powerless, because, for the last year or two, our expenditure has exceeded our income. The fact is, that both England and France have, within themselves, ample re sources to enable them to cope with all the Powers of Europe, should they unfortunately be called upon to do so. The industry of both countries is crippled by absurd laws ; but it is ridiculous to suppose that nations with immense capital and an overflowing po pulation, can be incompetent to go to war with Powers having a scanty population and no capital whatever to set it in motion. \S hat 0. P. Q., with his general views, can mean by publishing such a letter at the present moment is past our comprehension. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY). HAY M A RKETS.—(At per Load of 3(f Trusses.)

The settling for the late Newmarket Races attracted a lull at tendance in the early part of yesterday afternoon, and a good dea of money changed pockets; many accounts, however, stand over to the "next Newmarket," (nearly six months!) A few en gagements were made on the Derby at the following prices :- 8 to 1 agst Mr. Ridsdale's Glaucus 11l to I agst Mr. Rawlinson's Revenge 13 to 1 agst Lord Cleveland's colt (taken) 14 to I agst Mr. Mos , yn's Prince Llewellyn (taken) 14 to 1 agst Captain Hunter's Forester 18 to 1 agst Duke of Rutland's Moses's dam c. 25 to 1 agst Lord Exeter's Marinella colt 25 to 1 agst Sir M.

Subsequent to this bet, &A/ to 500 was betted on the field agst the same seven. The match run at Newmarket between Temperance and the Fawn filly, before the Judge got to the chair, is disputed.

The general topic of conversation this morning, and anxiety of the public and the speculators, relates entirely to the affairs end answer of the King of Holland, whose deter mined resolution is, not at present to give up the citadel of Antwerp ; instead of which he says he will make further and important concessions, but must negotiate with the citadel of Antwerp in his power. This is again another manoeuvre towards procrastination; at the same time we hear that these concessions will involve England and France. Indeed, up to the present time, there does not appear much chance of the affair being settled until the French army appears before the citadel of Antwerp. His Dutch Majesty has officially notified that the Eng lish and French shipping will not be molested. A mail has arrived this morning from Oporto, but does not bring later accounts than received yesterday. We hare received the following private information by the above conveyance : « When it was known in the army that Don Miguel was coming to head them, it did not give much satisfac tion, and the desertion increased. Sartorius's fleet was off the bar of Lisbon on the 27th, and himself on shore ; on the 25th they landed from five to six hundred marines and sailors from the fleet. Letters, received from officers, state that, since the battle of the 29th, the fortifications of Oporto have been so much increased as it is considered equal to a reinforcement of 5,000 men. The English battalion after the battle of the 29th, which was reduced to 150 .ffective men, has been increased to 600." Montreal Papers to the 12th of October, Quebec to the 1041 of October, and Port-au-Prince Papers to the 24th September hwe been received at the North and South American Giffee-house. The Montreal Papers state that the official proclamation, calling together the Legislature of the Province, on the 15. h November, has appeared, and that several questions wilt be brought before the Legislature which are likely to lead to important discussions. His Excellency the C itnmander.in-Chief has returned to Quebec. The Quebec Papers give the total number of emigrants arrived at Quebec to the Bth of September, 51,283. A Leeward Island mail has arrived, which sailed from St. Thomas's, Oct. 1 ; but has not brought any ❑ews of importance. Consols, which left off yesterday at 83i for the account, opened at the same price this morning ; since which they have been done at 84, with little doing. HALF-PAST ONE. The Consol market has improved since the early part of the morning, when thy were S3i, since which time they have been done at 84 for the Account. In con sequence of an opinion that the new propositions of Hol land are so favourable towards the settlement of the long pending affair of the tonnage of the Scheldt, that there is every probability that the affair will soon come to an amicable settlement. We are also informed that the Continental Powers have officially notified to the King of Holland, that in case he is oetermined on war, he cannot expect any assistance from them. This was the cause of the lowering of the Dutch Funds. _ .....

O. ALDERSIN. Mr. Sergeant SPA NKIE said this was an action of eject tnent, which had been tried before Lord Tenterden at the last Kent assizes, and a verdict was found for the plaintiff. The defendant was the tenant of a considerable estate near Rochester by a lease from the Crown, one covenant of which empowered the Crown, or the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, at any time to resume the whole or any part of the property upon giving a certain notice; and that, in case the King should be advised to avail himself of that right, arbitrators were to be appointed to determine the amount of compensation to be paid to the tenant in re spect of the determining of the lease. The Crown io 1831 disposed of the property to Mr. Harmer, the attorney, who was of course desirous of getting possession on as low terms as possible, which were by turtling the tenant out without paying him any compensation. Mr. Harmer thus be came possessed of the rights of the Crown, and was in fact the lessor of the plaintiff. On the 31st January, 1832, the Crown gave the defendant notice of determining the lease. The defendant appointed an arbitrator, and a Mr. Murray was selected by the Crown, and in February those persons met to determine the amount of the com pensation. They were proceeding in a train of settlement, when Mr. Harmer interposed and prevented their going on. This action of ejectment was then brought on the ground of breaches of thecovenants of the lease. The breaches assigned were nonpayment of rent, and not using the farm in a husbandlike manner, and the Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff. Now the Learned Counsel contended that even if there was any slight breach of the covenant, the Crown had waved that by sending the notice of determining the lase, and by appointing an arbitrator to award compensa tion to the tenant\ That was the main point upon which .he Learned Counsel relied, and contended that the ver dict should have been given for the plaintiff. The plaintiff mat have known if there had been any breaches 'of the covenant before the Crown gave the defendant notice ; as to the nonpayment of rent, they must have been acquainted, and they must also have known, if there Lad been any breach respecting husbanding the farm, because the Crown had previously sent persons to value the timber on it. He thought, therefore, there was ample ground for setting aside the verdict. The Cotta? granted a rule Nisi. EXCHEQUER COURT.-(THIS DAY. HAYNES V. FOSTER. This action was tried before Mr. Baron Gurney, and a special Jury at:the London sittings after last Term, when a verdict was found for the plaintiff. 'f he action was one of Troyer, for the recovery of cer tain Bills of Exchange, and was one of the many which have arisen out of the bankruptcy of Messrs. Wood and Poole, bill brokers in the city. The facts have frequently been be fore the public lately in other cases. Shortly they were as fol lows :—On the 17th of November, 1831, the plaintiffs gave bills into the hands of Wood and Poole for discount, to the amount of 1,7001., at the same time receiving an advance to the amount of 200/. Wood and Poole bad tong been in the habit of raising money from the de fendants by pledging a number of bills. On the 20th of November, they, being short of money, took seventy bills to the defendants, amounting to about 6,0001., upon which they obtained an advance of 5,500/. This transaction took place on a Saturday afternoon, and Wood and Poole, not having had time to take an account of the bills on that day, on the Monday morning went to the counting-house of the defendants, and got the bills away fur that pur. pose. The bills were seen in the possession of Wood and Poole on that Monday, which gave rise to the question (which was the principal one in the case), whether the bills were actually and bona fide given into the possession of the defendant, on the Saturday, or not till the Monday, for the purpose of covering a large debt for former ad vances, Wood and Poole having stopped payment on the Tuesday. Mr. Serjeant WILDE now moved for a rule to show cause why that verdict should not be set aside, and a new trial had, on the ground of misdirection on the part of the Learned Baron, and the verdict being against the weighs of evidence. The Learned Serjeant contended that the Learned Baron had left the question to the Jury in too general a manner, and that the evidence for the define, was unimpeachable, and stronger than that produced for the plaintiffs.—Rule granted. FOSTER AND ANOTHER V, PEARSON AND ANOTHER. This was another action arising out of the same trans actions as the last. 'This was also tried at the late Lon don Sittings, and the only case out of three or four in which a verdict was found for the present plaintiff+, who in all the other actions were defendants. Mr. Wutlasts moved for a rule to show cause why that verdict should not be set aside, on the ground of its being against evidence. lie characterised the lending of the bills on the Monday as a fraud, intended to support the falling credit of Wood and Poole—for parties who had sent in bills for discount, calling on the Monday, seeing those bills there, would leave their bills, thinking that as Wood and Poole had so many to go into the market with, they must be in good credit. He also now would argue this case as a lawyer, and would throw aside from the case all the usage of the city of London in the bill-broking business, which could not overturn the law of the land. The business of a broker was, if he could not get a bill di:•counted, to give it back to the owner, and not to pledge it, and u•e it as if it was his own. . - Lord LYNDHURST said Mr. Williams might leave that part of the case, as it would receive the attention of the Court. Was the evidence in this case the same as in the other ? Mr. Wrwasis said it was, precisely. The COURT—Then you must take a rule. BANKRUPTCY COURT.-(THIS DAY.: EX•VARTE WILKINS IN RE WILKINS. This was a petition to supersede a commis,ion issued against the bankrupt in 1830, under the following circum stances :—The bankrupt, being under arrest, employed an attorney of Warwick, named Tibbetts, to draw up a deed of assignment of his effects, for the benefit of his creditors. This was on the 24th of March, 1830, and the deed was executed at 7 o'clock in the evening of that day. Tibbetts immediately sent up to town, and had a docket struck against him the next day, and the commission issued ; the execution of the deed of assignment, to which Mr. Tibbetts was himself a party, being made the act of h snkruptcy. The only defence set up against the prayer of the petition was, that the bankrupt bad for two years acquiesced in the commission. The COURT, however, superseded the commission, on the ground of its hiving been obtained by a fraudulent abuse of the power of the Great Seal. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE—cfms DAY, FROM LLOYD'S.

CHOLERA MORBUS, OFFICIAL REPORT. CENTRAL BOARD OF HEALTH. COUNCIL OFFICE, WHITEHALL.—(THIS DAY.) DAILY REPORT of CHOLERA CASES. New Cases. Death& Recoveries. England and Wales 29 13 11 Scotland 4B 19 60 7'7 32 71 (Signed) WM. MACLEAN. Secretary. THE HAGUE, OCT 13 (Front the Private Correspondent of the llhrning Herald.) I believe I may say that all hope of coming to an rani eable arrangement with his Dutch Majesty is at an en I. The first symptom of a decided warlike character here occurred just after I last wrote to yeti, and it is very -kyle, and I dare say you have hea'rd of it ere this. I mentioned to you that our English vessels had • ret;rt,l precipitately from Rotterdam. As I think they had no distinct notification to move—although they were to be r ea dy t o d o so—from our Minister here, that circumstance could not he supposed to carry very great weight with This morning (Wednesday), however, by direction from the Dutch authorities, the Dutch steam-boat Batavicr ceased her voyages to England. You are aware that she has been in the habit of crossing the Channel every Tues. day. She had been detained in the Thames rather later than usual on her recent return hither, but was prepared to start again this morning, and had booked passengers. During the night, however, her owners received the corn inunicatiou from Government which caused her to decline her voyage, and her passengers were compelled, some at the loss of their passage-money, to go home in the Alf wood Post-office pack - et, which sailed this morning, and by which you have heard* from me. The plain meaning of this is, that the Government in formed the Batavier's owners that if she made this trip t o England, she might happen to he in no hurry to re turn. Thus it is manifest that the Duch Government seriously contemplates setting England and France at de. fiance. I have had it from other sources also that Ministers here look upon the blockade as almost certain. That our own Charge d'Affaires is of much the same opi. oion is pretty evident, from his having informed some or our countrymen, who applied to him for passports, that he could not guarantee their unmolested continuance in this country for a longer period than till next Wednesday—a very short time indeed ! Bonaparte gave 14 days. TMCIABIAT. The French vessels, which were not quite s., (peek a , ur own in leaving Rotterdam, took their departure yes terday. The Imtest were s ime three or four which came in with wines, and, having unshipped their cargoes in a hurry, set off immediately homeward,. Amongst the other symptoms of war which have mani. Tested themselves here, is the departure of the greater portion of the Dutch war vessels of every denomination from other stations to the Scheldt, in order to strergthen the defences of that river, and, of course, to harass the combined fleets after their passage from Fiushing. It is unnecessary to add that the officers of the navy, who have up to this moment been on leave of absence from their ships, have all been ordered peremptorily to join. The Cabinet has been sitting yesterday and to-day in deliberation on the pregnant final decision to which it lies now to coin.. The Prince of Orange came up from the army yesterday to join in its most responsible duty. This evening he returned back to his head-quarters, after hav ing learned the contents of despatches brought by a Ditch messenger from London. It is impossible not to draw an unfavourable augury from this circumstance. The Prince, it is true, has been in the habit of staying but a very short time in town on his visits hither, but things were still in uncertainty on such occasione. If the in tention of the Cabinet was now unwarlike he would have no reason for any such precipitancy. The who'e of this day it has been rumoured and as serted by persons connected with the Court that the word was not to yield. The whole quarrel is here thrown, as it were, on the King's shoulders, whether for his glary or disgrace. Thus it is repeated on all sides, "The King says he won't give up a particle of his proposals." At the same time the people appear unanimous in their deter mination to stand by him in his most desperate resolves. I may take the occasion to remark that the sp ech of M. Van Alphen, delivered in the First Chamber of the States-General on Tuesday, on voting to the Crown the power of disposing of the residue of the moneys voted for th e State expenditure, was also an outpouring of Dutch elo qu eme worthy of notice. On that occasion there was no serious opposition to the proposition before the Assembly, although one or two members were a little Joseph Humeish. M. V. Alpben is one of the very clever men amongst our public characters here. He is in person a small man, at that period of life when men may write warmly de :e -nceinte; his hair is white, his countenance oval, and his eyes dark, animated, and intelligent. He is an eloquent -pecker. On this occasion he pound out a stream of in digno-pathetic complaint of the treatment of hie country, which would excite very strong sympathy in every one not acquainted with the true tale of the Belgic revolution. I shall, however, only notice one passage in M. Van Alplien's speech, because it confirms strongly a position Lich I have more than once kid down ill my commu nication to you, an becauee, lthough not metioned often, it is the true key d to British a policy towards the Nether hinds. The passage of the orator was a very singular one to be heard in the place where it was delivered. " I vote," said the Puissant member, " for the grant of the subsidies, and I vote at the same time for peace—an honourable peace and a reconciliation with Belgium, for e neighbour is of more consequence to our well-being than a distant brother--as the experienc e of these latter times has so truly demonstrated to us. We can yield such ad vantages to Belgium as she cannot hope for at the hands of any other nation. Our commerce is such as she can never acquire —while the sources of her prosperity differ essentially from that of ours." The orator then proceeds ro impress on Belgium the good policy of seeking, by what he called " equitable" propositions, such a puce as would cement, by amicable feelings, the interests which were thus happily reciprocal. I need not follow him in this course of argliment, which is rather late at the ~resent stage of the negotiations which are to s,-tile time future relations of Holland and Belgium in their most important particulars. The single passage cited, coming from such a man, is worth being especially noted. I e n a former occasion, made an observation to you similar in its import to its very pregnant significancy, in order that I might thereupon found a motive for your Cabinet to let your present very great commerce with Holland re main unmolested, by a settlement of the questio vexata, as long as the interest of general peace would allow it, but at the same time to beware not to sacrifice to this lucrative procrastination the ultimate opening of the Scheldt, to which British commerce must eventually look. Fur you will, perhaps, recollect that I remarked that the peace between Belgium and Holland, come when it would, tie that sooner or later, would bring with it almost as close a commercial connection between the two countries, es existed before their separation; because each has what tee other wants, and wants what the other has. Let the British merchants pause before they blam, the present decisive steps of your Government, and wok from Hol land to the Scheldt and central Europe. The intention of the Court lime is up to this, alm'mst the latest moment, kept in great secrecy. The Dutchmen sp cutate and look peculiarly solemn, and evolve their me •mitetions in a more than ordinarily well-sustained smoke. whey all talk of &mimes and dc:eripination unexampled since the siege of Jerusalem, and of a constancy in politi cal martyrdom, such as would excite the envy of an Iro. quois at the stake of his Indian enemy. The English, I promise you, are in the very worst of odour with them. rbey, however, contemn the notice of the blockade, as in deed they well may. It must be almost useless against -hem, and very inconvenient to England herself. Teey look with touch apprehension, however, to the apptoach of the French army to Antwerp. The Dutch force yet holds the balance. t'RIDAT. It is now very nearly midnight, the time when the Council and other advisers of the King of 11,Iland sh. , u!fl have come to and delivered to unr I3riti.h 111:nister, Mr. Jeruinghatn, their determination in regard to the evacua. cion of Antwerp. Not a breath has transpired in the &Ague of their intentions. I should conclude from them that they intend to yield. They could not make known ,uddenly to the Dutch a reAilution to descend from their neroics. If their voice was for war, they would have sent he signal round amongst their people, as they did once befote t like the flaming cross. An awful instance of sudden death has oc curred in the family of Mr. Joszeit MASON, belonging to the dock-yard, Portsea. On Monday, at noon, his wife was delivered of a chill, and expired half an hour afLer. The infant also died at the same time. Her mother-in-law, who W is in attendance, became ill, and died (it is supposed through fright); th us caus i ng au aw ful visitation of d e ath of three m e mb ers o f one family at almost tie same moini.nt.
