RUMOURS OF WAR.

(From La Quatidienne.)
The journals and the news are warlike. Our intention
is uo to discuss et this moment a question upon which our
opinion has been constantly fixed since the month of Auguet
Wit. We confine ourselves to a statement of the rumours
in circulation, without pledging ourselves for the accuracy
of the same.

To-morrow there is to be a communication to the Chatn-
hers on the affairs of Belgium and our relations with fo-
reign Powers. According to the hest information upon
the subject, it is intended to call upon the Chambers for
the means of giving to France the attitude which she
ought to assume under the serious circumstances in which
she now stands. In this Sitting, which will be of grave
character, the Minister of War will make a report upon
the present state of the army, and call for a vote of credit
for one hundred and twenty millions. The Coastitu-
tionel speaks of a loan of fifteen millions of Three per
Cents. (Rentes), but does not s.sy at what premium the
loan is to be negociated.
It appears also that great activity prevails in the war de-
partment. We are assured that 26,000 muskets will be
ready for delivery by the 16th of December.
It is also said that the Minister of War, was yesterday
in treaty for 600 draft horses. This day another contract
will be entered into with a person named Aron, and two
others, at Strasbourg, for 6000 cavalry horses. These
horses will be delivered without delay.
If credit is to be given to well-informed persons, the
Minister of War left the Council much agitated, and dis-
patched, in the course of last night, no less than five
couriers, in different directions. One of them carried to
the Commandant, at Lisle, an order to take possession of
Mona, on the first news of the entrance of the allies in
Belgium.

The latest news is of a more serious character, and can
not he entertained on slight grounds. General Sebastiani
declared, officially, in the tribune of the Chamber of
Deputies, that the Cabinet of the Palaie Royal had entered
into an engagement to observe all the treaties concluded
in 1814 and 181 b. Now it is by ♦irtue of these treades
that the intervention of the Allied takes place in Belgium,
and that intervention is, after the decis►on of the COn-
gress of Biussels, which refused to acknowledge all exist-
ing conventions.

In this state of things, the occupation of the frontier
fortreeses by our troops will be a violation of the treaties
recognized by the, Cabinet of the Paleis Royal. This
Cabinet, therefore, takes upon itself an immense responsi-
bility, when it interferes and becomts the aggressor in a
struggle which is not personal, and when all the world is
convinced that the Government is not in a condition to
sustain the war, for which the great Powers have had the
precaution to prepare the moment they heard of oar revo-
lution. However this may be, the news we have thought
it our duty to give to our readers is in direct opposition
to the proceedings of the Ministry with the Provisional
Government of Belgium, fur they declared they had
nothing to apprehend from France, if the Congress pro-
nounced the exclusion of the House of Nassau. We can
give no explanation upon that declaration; we can only
say it astonished many persons, who expected to And in
the new Government of France something like dignity in
its political acts.
