An opinion exists at the west end of the
town, amongst certain individuals likely to be well in-
formed on the subject, that the foreign diplomatists are
not so unanimous in their opinion on some important po•
litical points as is generally supposed, and which are be-
lieved to be necessary to the preservation of the general
peace of Europe. It is asserted, and we believe there is
some foundation for the assertion, that more than one of
the Representatives of the great northern Powers, and who
have been long accredited to the British Court, are about
to leave this country ; but we may add not so immediately
as it has been reported. The circumstance of the Russian,
Austrian, and Prussian Ambassadors having attended yes-
terday at the Foreign-office, with their respective Secre-
taries of Legation, has been viewed in different ways, and
admitted generally as an extraordinary circumstance ;
whilst some persons assert that it has arisen from the ne-
cessary completion of official papers which Lord PALMER-
STON intends immediately laying before Parliament, previ-
ously to the intended motions by the Duke of WELLIDG•
TON or Lord ABERDEEN 111 the Upper House, and Sir
RICHARD VYVYAN in the Commons, of the existing state
affairsbetween Holland and Belgium.-IllorningHerald•
