The Augsburg Gazette of the sth contains the fol-
lowing on the resignation of Lord PALMERSTON :
Whatever the English journals may say, it is cer-
tain that Lord Palmerston resigned in consequence of the
representaitio,ns foreign powers. This fee; may
,made by
be painful to zngland but it is not the less the truth.
A note of the 8111110 tenor was addressed to the English
Cabinet by the respective Courts of Austria, Prussia,
and lastly even by Prance. It was to the following
effect:—

" ' It is useless to call attention to the dangers which
the conspiracies of
the refugees are preparing for the
Continent. It is 1
, a',',o useless again to ask the English
Government no longer to protect such proceedings.
Therefore we confine ourselves to announcing to the
Minister for Foreign
Affairs that wo have come to
the firm resolution to proceed against all English sub-
jects in our states according to the principles that
Lord Palmerstoh laid down in 1848 to the American
Government, on the occasion of the arrest of two Ame-
ricans in Ireland. Lord Palmerston at that time not
only justified their arrest, but he relied on the maxim
that every Government was master in its own dominions.,
and was at liberty to send away any person who was
dangerous te the public peace.'
On the receipt of this note the Minister found it im-
possible to answer it; he contented himself with cora-
muncating it to the Cabinet; but it appears that rather
than be dismissed he preferred to resign. The new Fo-
reign Minister has not et replied, but the same prin.
ciples will bo insisted on with him as with his prede-
cessor."

" The British Ambassador has assured our Govern-
ment that the question of the political refugees shall he
settled with as little delay as possible."

BELGIUM.
BRUSSELS, JAN. B.—The fresh arrival of political
refugees from France is of daily occurrence in our
capital. The concentration of all these adversaries to
Louis NAPOLEON, appears to have given umbrage to

the French Government. A note has been addressed
to our Cabinet, and an answer returned, which,
however, is not calculated to satisfy the demands or
France. In fact, the meeting of so great a number of
malcontents, many of whom have acted a conspicuous
part, at the distance of a few leagues from the French
frontier, is by no means calculated to inspire Louis
NAPOLEON with confidence. France has consequently
demanded either the extradition of these refugees, or
at least their dispersion and location in the interior
of the kingdom.
The French Government will not insist upon their
removal from Belgium provided the Ministry will
assign to the most influential and the most dangerous
a place of residence, with a prohibition to quit it
without authority, and provided also they will pre-
sent a project of law which shall restrain the un•
bounded liberty of the Belszian press. In case of a
formal refusal the French Government will compel
Belgium to pay the expenses of the campaign at
Antwerp.
