GERMAN PAPERS.

VIENNA, JAN. 6.—Since the fall of the citadel of
Antwerp, the affairs of Belgium:l have lost a part of the
interest which was necessatily excited by an attack ac-
companied by so many difficulties and by brave defence.
The opening of fresh negotiations is expected without ap-
prehension, and it is hoped that this time they will lead to
an arrangement without farther interruption. Europe
needs repose, but not an artificial, precarious repose,which
keeps up a perpetual excitement, and is a hindrance to all
undertakings that rk quire a state of peace and confidence
to insure their success. During the late years of agita-
tion, the Cabinets have, by extraordinary sacrifices, been
able to prevent a general rupture ; their efforts will also
succeed in confirming the confidence in a real state of
peace, and then to settle the question of a reduction of the
military force, so as to relieve all nations from so great a
burden.

The accounts from Constantinople of the 19th De-
cember are again fivourable. The Porte is in a kind of
feverish state—sometimes it has reason to believe
in a happy termination of the war, and sometimes it
is again filled with the most serious alarms. If
the Sultan could depend on the faithful attachment
and co-operation of his subjects, there is no doubt that the
fortune of war would soon turn in his favour, for the
Porte still possesses great resources. The foreign Mini-
sters in Constantinople are supposed to be very anxious
for news from London, respecting the success of the ne-
gotiation confided to Namiek Bey. On it will depend the
greater or less degree of assistance that the Sultan expects
from Russia ; and, so far, the 'answer of England is
doubly important. Many persons in Constantinople were
of opinion that the Porte would have done better not to
apply to England, but that it should have immediately
embraced the friendly offers of the Russian Court, with-
out seeking for aid in London. The latter would either
answer too late, or, in case there should be more readiness
in the English Cabinet, yet the internal state of England
would not allow of the assistance being so effectual as the
urgency of the case demands. On the other hand it is
not to be denied that the half of the naval force which
England has so long kept up to no purpose between the
English and Dutch coasts, against its ancient ally, Holland,
would, by a mere demonstration against the Egyptian
fleet, have thrown a great weight into the scale of the
Porte—have impeded the operations of Ibrahim, and have
checked the arrogance of Mehemet Ali. The Grand
Vizier has, however, assembled a great army, and
threatens the communications of the Egyptians. Hie trea-
sures appear to have been well taken, as Ibrahim has made
a retrograde movement, and thrown himself into the de-
files of Caramania.
