taken, under the guidance of the Conference, to
the exclusion of their own participation in their
management.

King LEOPOLD is personally a very popular
Sovereign ; but let us suppose he had shown a
disposition to resist the will of his creators, and
the enthusiasm of the people would have been
without bounds. His MAJESTY may have
taken the wisest course in seeking to avert war,
but it is not certain that he has followed the
right road to confirm himself in the affections of
his subjects. The Carlists declare that the step
he has taken has ruined him for ever—an exag-
geration which we should not think worth no-
tice, if we did not see cause for apprehension in
every act of a Sovereign that is at variance with
the wishes of his people. In England we are
so absorbed by our internal politics, that neither
Belgium, nor Poland, nor, in fact, any Foreign
State, has attracted to it a sufficient share of
attention, for the people of England to be ex-
actly aware of the justice or merits of its com-
plaints. What we think somewhat unfortunate,
is the prevalent disposition in this country with
regard to our foreign policy, to consider that
whatever is, is right. Far be it from us to un-
dervalue the motives of the Conference of Lon-
don, but we really ought to be somewhat eau-
' tious of diplomacy, when we have in the recent
history of Belgium such an example of the vil-
lainous working of the Treaty of Vienna,—a
Treaty which not only was the long theme of
approbation with the Tories, but many of its
provisions were highly satisfactory to the Whigs,
—so that the Edinburgh Review reflected com-
placently on the Union of Belgium and Holland,
calling it " the best Legacy of the Congress of
Vienna." The effect of this now deservedly
odious Treaty, ought to make people somewhat
cautious in placing too implicit confidence in the
justice of protocol-makers, and the more so,
since the right assumed by the Great Powers
over the affairs of Belgium and Holland, is pre-
tended to be derived from the circumstance of
those Powers having been parties to that very
Treaty of Vienna, which all politicians of com-
mon honesty, and not of the LONDONDERRY
school, are now unanimous in condemning.
By another and last Protocol, made since the
transmission of the twenty-four articles, the Bel-
gian share of the debt has been very consider-
ably modified, with reference to information
subsequently laid before Lord PALMERSTON.
By a mis-translation of one of the twenty-four
articles, it was made to appear that Belgium
was to indemnify Holland for the expellees of
the war since October last. No such thing
• was ever intended, the expellees in question
being relative to the arrangement of the debt, as
will appear by reference to the articles in the
French. No further news has arrived this morning
from Brussels, where the Government is using
every exertion to procure the acceptance of the
Protocols, and is said to be confident of success
with the Chamber. The fleet ordered to the
Scheldt is in anticipation of the continued obsti-
nacy of the King of HOLLAND.

A private letter, received from a respectable
and influential gentleman at Halifax, says " the
Americans, dissatisfied with the decision of the
sapient DUTCH King as to the boundary lines, has
unceremoniously overstepped them, meaning
himself to fix them. An officer has been sent
hence to ascertain the particulars, and to enquire
if it be thought necessary to despatch a force from
this garrison.

We learn by the Brussels Papers that the
citadel of Antwerp, like Clumber Castle, is de-
clared in a state of siege. By the Hamburg
Journals, it appears that the cholera is still on
the increase, though slowly, in that city ; and
that it is supposed to have reached Altona

ALTONA, OCT. la—The day before yesterday the wife of
a citizen died suddenly under circumstances which the physi-
cians recognised, and declared to be proofs of Asiatic cholera.
In consequence, a notice has been issued to-day that no pass-
ports with certificates of health will be delivered for the pre.
sent. We have not heard of any other case.

COPENHAGEN, OCT. 15.—1 t is reported that part of the
troops in garrison here will be employed in guarding the coast,
as the country people, debilitated by the disorder, can no longer
perform this service. It is not mentioned what disorder has
afflicted the peasantry, but there is no account of cholera in
Denmark.

HANOVER, OCT. 15.—His Royal Highness the Viceroy is
gone to Oldenburgh, on a visit to the Grand Duke. On his way
back he will visit Bremerhafen to view the harbour, and Verdes
to inspect the new dikes.
LUBECK, OCT. 16.—The Nicholas I. steam-boat, arrived late
yesterday evening from Cronstadt in the read of Traverounde,
with twenty-one passengers. These will be put on board another
ship in quarantine, and the steam-boat will return to Cronstadt
on Saturday the 22d, being the last voyage for this season.
Among the passengers are Count LudolL the Neapolitan Ambas-
sador, Dr. Cloquet, a French physician, Drs. Russell and Barry,
and Mr. Bayley, the English Vice-Consul, &c.

BRUSSELS, Ocr. 2d.--M. Ch. Letton, Member of the
Chamber of Representatives, and our Minister Plenipotentiary
at Paris, arrived at Brussels yesterday afternoon.
The fourth battalion of the 4th Regiment are going to join
the army of reserve.

A great number of cannon left Brussels this morning for
Antwerp.

The Chamber of Representatives is summoned for to-day, by
letters addressed to the Ministers at their own houses, which
say, " to receive a communication from the Government."
The French Ambassador at Brussels despatched a courier
from the Hague on Friday evening. We learn that he is ex-
pected to return every moment.
Just as we are going to press we learn that a courier has
arrived from Holland.

BRUSSELS, OCT. 2.5.—8ar0n Stockmar arrived yesterday
afternoon from London. He was in a carriage with four horses,
preceded by two couriers. It is supposed that he was the
bearer of important despatches. He immediately went to the
King's Palace. _ _ .

Two English and one Belgian Cabinet messengers set out
yesterday afternoon with despatches,—one for the Hague, one
for London, and the third for Paris.
CHAMBER OF REPRESENTATIVES, Oct. 4.

The President announced that the Chamber had been in-
voked in consequence of the following letter to him from the
Minister for Foreign Affairs :
" Majesty having expressed to me his earnest desire
that the Chambers might, without delay, proceed to examine
and discuss the project of law relative to the twenty-four articles
of the treaty of peace imposed on Belgium by the Conference at
London, I have the honour to request you to convoke the
Chamber of Representatives for to-morrow, in order to commu-
nicate to it the intentions of the King.
(Signed) " DE MUELENAERE."
" Brussels, Oct. 23."

M. de Robaulx—ls this the communication announced to us ?

The President—M. de Muelenaere is not present.
M. de Rodenbach—ln Friday's sitting I asked that the treaty
of peace sho dbe referred to the sections. I think we ought
