FRENCH PAPERS.
(From the Moniteur of Tuesday, Aug. 9.)

Pius, AUG. S.—The independence of Belgium, me-
naced by a sudden and unexpected attack, has found in the
friendship of France a passport which will take it out of
the reach of all danger. The separation of Belgium and
Holl.ind is a fact which is accomplished, and which the
agreement of the Great Powers has rendered irrevocable.

- The resolution uf King William puts us in mind of one
of his ancestors, who fought a battle after receiving the
news of the conclusion of peace, and lost it. He hoped
to charge the conditions of the treaty, and spilt, to no
purpose, the blood of his subjects. The announcement of
the arrival of the French army, and the patriotism of the
Be'gians, had made it believed at the head quarters of King
Leopold that the Dutch army was preparing to return to
Holland ; hut this news being premature, the march of
our army will continue, in the direction which had been laid
down for it.

(From the National.)
PARIS, AUGUST B.—This morning the English Am-
bassador received a courier from his Government. Imme-
diately afterwards Lord Granville had a long conference
with M. Sebastiani. The news of the approaching
entrance of our troops into Belgium caused a very great
sensation at London. What seems especially to divide
the conference is the question, how far the King of Hol-
land can be forced to cease hostilities, to confine himself
to negociations with Belgium, and thus to recognise King
Leopold ?
(From the Messager des Chambres, dated Wednesday.)
The Semaphore publishes an account of a new island
in the Mediterranean. A Captain Carao, commanding
the Shcresinc brig, being on his voyage from Trapani to
Girgenti, saw, on the ICch of July, twenty miles from
Cipe St. Mark, a urP...s of water, rising to the height of
sixty feet, in a cikuumference of about 400 fathoms. A
sulphureous naoke arose from it. The day before he had
seen a great quantity of dead fish and a great quantity of
black putniee stones floating on the surface of the sea ; he
heard also a noise as of a volcanic irruption. He saw
the smoke during the rest of his voyage, and all the time
he was at Girgenti ; and on the 16th passing the same
spot, he perceived an island about twelve feet above the
surface. In the middle is a kind of plain, with the crater
of a volcano, whence burning lava is seen to issue during
the night. The island is surrounded by a girdle of smoke.
It is in 37. 6. N. latitude, and 10. 26. E. longitude from
the meridian of Paris. The depth of the sea, all round
the island, is 100 fathoms.

The first draft of the Address presented to the Corn-
tmh iet tee
approbationb y/kI M. Etienne,,f
all
ihasts obtained,iiembe
tas We said yesterday,
s• Although the ma-
jority consisted of Deputies reputed to belong to the Mi-
nisterial party, the discussion, strongly supported by the
tirree Members of the left, had decided the triumph of the
principles founded on political reason, and in accordance
with those of the Revolution of July.
In that state of things our external Policy had been
formally disapproved of. The Government was called
upon to modify our interior system of administration, in
such a manner as to require the Cabinet to he re-organised,
if not with men of a different opinion, at least with in of
more liberal views. _ . _

......
It was then that M. Casimir Perier—frightened at the
portion of blame, which was more especially merited by
the Minister of Foreign Affairs, but which was placed to
the account of the President of the Council—endeavoured
to parry the blow before it was offered. He consequent!)
waited on Sunday, with his colleagues, on the Committee,
and ye,terday the project of the address was to unthrgo
aew discussion, in consequence of the explanation given b)
the two Ministers. _

That discussion was warmly supported on both sides.
