LONDON, THURSDAY. JUNE 23.

" Hts Majesty the King of the But:ilex% arrived
" to-day, on a visit," &e. This is ace of the repair
entries °fa London season—as regular as the Derby,
the Ascot Cup-day, Anna's, or Creepers.; and we
an certainly net amour those who an inclined to
attach any special meaning to a enfectly natural
and cutoniery incident. Limited monarchy, how-
ever strictly interpreted, is not supposed to be la-
pereseated by a Monarch whose dais,. and gongs
are limited to the tether of his own elemsin,
and it would be • mass:feu inspertiamice,
as well as cruelty, to grudge our excel-
lent cousin, King I.xuraEu, whose palaces
are small, sad whom subjects are few, an
eressiosal charge of air and son or. Besides,
Lackey, we cannot help admitting, is a little dull,
and Brunk polities ate not the liveliest is the

" Omni," and at a time Irks the present it is an ab-
solute tonic to as old gentleman who takes • warm and

✓ous as the grand flywheel to the dynastic machine
of Continental Europe cannot be said to date
from the memorable oceulas when we were assured
en the highest authority that "Contitatiosal
.1 cement we on its trial ;" bet that oracular
utterance is certainly respossible for having quick-
ened a *luny which was almost extinct. Of coarse
it I. idle to affect to doubt that the King oldie Barr
aura pays some attention to what is passing beyond
the frontiers of hie interesting and isdastrieue litW
kingdom, and the present crisis in the Beath of
Europe is calculated to excite not only his interest
bat his emotion*, std to recall vividly to his mind
the eircanntancia under which he mended a
throw which he has filled with so much reedit
and advantage to the monarchical principle in
general sod to the Belgian people in particular,
We @Add not ncommcud his Msrerre a better
coterie of reading eluting his present nay is Londe•
than liaararcrs Parhaaferetary Davies for the years
18 10-18;13. We are persuaded that the perusal of
the debate on the Belgian Caseation and the Con-
ference of London will strengthen his perceptions of
the true bearings of the hake' (ale-mien, and enable
him to take • clear and generous view of the rights
and wrongs which are row in discussion oa the
Mack. When he is mired whether Austria cam
lose a province, or the Treaty of Vienna a
elan. or two, without distarbing the equilibrium
of Europe, and sabenting the fouadations of public
law, ha will be ready to reply that had Austria not
lost a province, and had the Treaty of Vienna re-
mained ietact, Belgium was no kingdom sad
LEOPOLD so King. It will, we imagine, be infinitely
amusing to him, after twenty-eight tranquil and pros-
perous years, to read the doleful speeches in the
British Parliament, in which the Treaty-rights of
Holland, that ancient ally of England, wen not un-
justly or unreasonably inveked by Tory members,
who insisted that the integrity of the King-
don of the Net befitted. had been purposely
established as • battier to France, and expensed
their apprehensions that Prince LEOPOLD would
hereafter look up to France as his natural ally and
protector, since it was France that had helped him
to his throne and Belgium to her independence.
It will be pleasant to him to Sete the foresight of the
Whigs, who began by fearing that Prince LEOPOLD
could trot sufficiently separate himself from England,
but afterwards argued that, by applying to France
in the first instance, fee 30,000 men, ha bad consulted
his own safety, sod set himself free from the objeo-
tion of his too great leaning towards England.
These dente., and the events to which they relate,
compose the best of sermons on the late FOREIGN
tiatlaTAßl.% " pedantic observance of treaties," and
no man in Europe is better calculated to improve
the text and to enlarge ou the discourse than oar
good friend tl.e King of the BELGIANS, whose re-
collections writ saltier to inspire him with some con-
sideration fur Italy in her struggle foe deliverance
from Audi ia, and even suggest excuses for her ap-
peal to French helmets. We need not the wisdom
of any M Esron or of any Uhr -st,, to enlighten nos

sten who permitted Russia to ercro,ch is the Eaat

man Empire was declared iu danger and louses and
England in tame, Austria was insincere and doubt-
fed in negniatiese, selfish mad vacillating daring the
war, oth.tiruate and embarrassing in Cupola ; that

Thou, and men, and kings are clanged vises ties.
Belgium, of all states In the world, has attracted •

near and dear Whence with Austria ; and an amiable
lady, who bears a name familiarly fond and sad
to English ears, has exchanged the cheers and smiles
of a loving population for the sullen silence and
alerted to of a people that owes no loyalty to
oppressor.. We can hardly belitve that the impres-
sions of the Princess enantorrn can have convinced
King Lb FOLD that Austria has a better right to
Lombardy than Holland had to Belgium.
Pelham however, the King of the BELGIANS may
be more interested just now in our recent change of
administration than in foreign politics, and
may be solicitous to know the reasons for the
change, since Tories and Liberals alike proclaim
neutrality. He will find the reasons admirably
stated in the debate on the Address in November
1830, by HENIIIi B1101:611 In a monarchy, I
" say, the doctrine of measures not men is irrational,
" and men, as well av measures, mast be looked to.
" The men may make a treaty which will make war
" inevitable at some distant day, unless the honour
" of the country b.: sacrificed ; and, as long as the
men can set secretly, we must look to them and
" their character as well as the measures they avow."
Again " The people of England are enamoured
" of their own liberty, and they are the friends of
" the liberty of others." Wards so explicit and so
frank as these dispense us from regarding with
jealousy the visit of airy king—be his relations, his
correspondents, his predilections what they may—
with jealousy or disfavour : still lees the " minion"
of the venerable Prince Earranazi, who has come
again after an ablaze* of twenty-one years, not a
poorer bat a sadder man, after closing the eyes of
liturreax lea, to tell his surviving friends in London
how it happens that Austria is bankrupt, Italy
emancipated, end Hungary once more ripe for insur-
rection.
