HOLLAND AND BELGIUM.—The journals and
private letters from Holland and Belgium are filled with dis-
cussions and announcements upon the subject of the recogni-
tion of the twenty-four articles by the King of the Dutch.
It is now feared, however, in well-informed circles, that King
William will find h;mself too late in his reluctant acquiescence
in the former terms of the treaty of separation ; for as so
many years have been suffered to go over, through the foolish
obstinacy of his Dutch Majesty, and Belgium has been so
strengthened by the matrimonial alliance of the King with
the daughter of the King of the French, that it is believed
the 24 articles will in turn be rejected by the Belgic Court.
It is to be observed that no treaty has ever been in reality
signed by either of the powers, and that the 24 articles were
merely the proposition of the representatives of the great
powers. In the matter of the national debt particularly,
great difficulties are apprehended in attempting the final sepa-
ration of the two countries; for Holland, on the one hand, is
about to attempt to place upon Belgium not only the
24,000,0001. agreed upon in 1831, but all the arrears of
interest upon that amount, and which have since been
paid by the Dutch ; and Belgium, on the contrary,
will not only refuse to pay this additional sum in interest,
but is expected to demand from the Dutch a large amount in
compensation for extraordinary military expenses which have
been incurred by the necessity of keeping herself in a state
of preparation against the attempts of the Dutch, and caused
by the obstinacy of King William in refusing to to sign the
treaty in due time. Such are the present aspects of the ques-
tion ; and though it would probably be much in reality to the
interest of Belgium to settle the question upon the former
terms, and thus to get rid of the greater part of the annual
expense of an army of 120,000 men, which that small country
is now obliged to keep en foot; yet, knowing that Holland is
now very much in: her power, and believing that it will be
compelled by poverty to yield to almost any demand which
may be made, it would not surprise us if Belgium were to take
advantage of these circumstances. The population of Holland
have, indeed, been reduced to a state of great misery by the
oppressive taxation required for the support of the army and
the payment of the interest upon the national debt, so that
King William is by no means so•popular as! he once was with
his subjects at home, and is becoming not willing only, but
anxious, to settle the question with Belgium, —M. Chronicle.
