LONDON,
MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 4, 1833.

There is much talk in the diplomatic circles, of a
private note sent by the Dutch Minister for Foreign
Affairs to the Courts of St. Petersburgh, Berlin,
and Vienna, in which it is stated, that for the
King of HOLLAND to sign the deed of separation
between Holland and Belgium, without some
guarantees of a particular nature from the Conti-
nental Powers, would be to sign an act of ab-
dication of the throne of Holland. Without
Belgium, it is said, Holland cannot support the
state of sovereignty; and the Dutch people, although
now under the influence of a spirit of amour propre,
arid, therefore, willing io make any sacrifices for the
Monarch, would; in the event of the settlement of
the Belgian question, begin to calculate the expenses
of a Monarchy, and look out for a cheaper form of
Government. The absolute Powers of the conti-
nent are thus forewarned of the probable
consequences of putting a seal to the separation of
Belgium, and, it is hoped, by alarming them as to
the probability of a republic in Holland, to obtain
their active assistance in resisting the policy of
France a►id Great Britain. It does not appear that this
note has been any further successful than in inducing
the Russian and Prussian Cabinets to declare that they
will not be parties to any act of coercion against
Holland. This assurance, however, is important
for the King of HOLLAND. On the other hand the
Russian and Prussian Cabinets have declared to
our Cabinet and that of the Tuileries, that they will
not be parties to any act of hostility of the King of
HOLLAND.

We learn from a positive source that the French
Cabinet have sent a formal remonstrance to the
Russian Government against any kind of interfe-

rence in the dispute between Turkey and Egyp',
except in concurrence with the rest of the Europe:in
Powers. The Duke de BROGLIE has also used very
strong language respecting the conduct of the Em-
peror of RUSSIA towards Poland. It is to be hoped
that the British Cabinet will take advantage of this
step of the French Government to adopt a tone
towards Russia more consonant with the honour
and interests of Great Britain than that which has
hitherto characterized our diplomatic relations with
the Russian Government.

The early retirement of i\larshal SOULT is confi-
dently expected in Paris, and it is believed that Gen.
SEBASTIANI, whose health has been materially im-
proved by his residence in Italy, will replace the
Duke DE BROGLIE, as Minister for Foreign Affairs, a
change which would give great satisfaction, M. de
BROGLIE, although an amiable and well informed
man, having little talent for business. General SE-
BASTIANI is a man of great tact, a decided friend to
Poland and the Portuguese Constitutionalists, and a
warm advocate for a cordial union between France
and Great Britain. It is said in Paris that but for his
ill state of health he would have adopted strong mea-
sures against Russia when that Power was carrying
on the work of massacre in Poland, even though
Lord PALMERSTON had refused to co-operate in his
generous intentions.

Should General SEBASTIAN! return to the French
Ministry, it is probable that the Duke de BROGLIE
will be appointed to succeed Prince TALLEYRAND
as Ambassador at our Court. This post was offered
to the Duke a long time ago, but be refused to
accept it, on the ground of his private fortune being
insufficient to meet the necessary expenditure.
Within the last year the allowance for the French
embassy has been reduced 100,000 francs per ann.,
consequently the Duke would be less inclined to
take the situation now than formerly, hut that it is
probable something else will be offered to him as a
make weight. There has, besides, been an additional
allowance for the French Embassy at this Court
recently voted by the Chamber of Deputies.

It has been a general observation among the
Members of the House of Commons, that there
never was so much obscurity as to the probable
amount of the majority for Ministers as on the pre-
sent occasion. That the majority for the first read-
ing of the Irish Coercive Bill will be large, there
can be no doubt ; but it will, in the opinion of
Ministers, be less than they anticipated in the first
instance, although the Conservatives have rallied
round them. It was reported on Saturday, that
Ministers intended to make some important modifi-
cations in the details of the Bill, after the first read-
ing. This morning, however, it is asserted, that
they mean to stand upen every point at all con-
nected with the principle of the Bill.

It is not true,as stated by the Paris correspondent
of a Morning Paper, that the negotiation between
the Duke of RICHMOND and the Director-General
of the Posses in Paris has been broken off. We are
sorry, however, to say that it proceeds so slowly
and unsatisfactorily, as to promise no good result.

A Lisbon letter, in a morning paper, states, that
about fifty Portuguese Constitutionalists had made
their escape from the fortress of Almeida. We are
sorry to say, that most of them were retaken, and
have since been treated with great barbarity.
