There are no accounts from Antwerp at the
Embassies, of a later date than those which
appear in the Morning Papers. A private letter,
dated Thursday, states that Marshal GERARD
had resolved to protract the siege, rather than
endanger the City, without the concurrence of
the King of BELGIUM ; but that the latter,
aware of the importance to him of the early
surrender of the Citadel, was likely to leave the
further mode of attack to the discretion of the
French Commander-in-Chief. LEOPOLD has
requested all his former Ministers to retain their
portefeuilles, but most of them have refused.

The Prussian Ambassador has had despatches
from Berlin, which are said to be of the most
pacific character. The Prussian Cabinet is
stated to be using earnest endeavours to put an
end to the present contest between France and
Holland.

We understand that it is proposed to start a
Conservative Candidate for Middlesex, in the
room of Lord HENLEY. Who this personage
may be, we have not yet heard ; but we learn
that it is one of the City Magistrates.

An express has been received from Paris
bringing the papers of Thursday and the Mes•

sager des Chambres, dated yesterday. They

are principally filled with accounts from the
seat of war, and the expected opposition which
Will be shown in the Chamber of Peers against
the introduction of the law sur l'etdt de siege.
The greatest excitement prevails in Paris on the
result of the expedition into Belgium, but the
general opinion is that a continental war will be
avoided, especially as neither Austria, Russia,
for Prussia are at present in a state to commence
any effective military operations, they having
enough to do at home.

A telegraphic despatch was received on
Thursday by Marshal SOULT from Marshal
GERARD, announcing that the operations were
being carried on with the greatest activity, but
that the citadel will not be able to be taken
without an attack is also made on the city side,
as CHASsE has a full command of the town.
A Council of Ministers was held shortly after,
and messengers were sent off to Brussels and
Antwerp with private instructions. Important
news Was hourly expected from the head-
quarters of the army.

The Prussian Ambassador had a long inter.
view with the Duke de BROGUE, Minister for
Foreign Affairs, on Wednesday evening. It is
reported that he positively declared that Prussia
Would remain perfectly neutral in the contest
between Holland and Belgium, unless the
French troops should enter Holland ; that then,
according to treaties, she would be bound to
assist King WILLIAM. The French Minister
assured his Excellency that France had no fur-
ther views than the fulfilment of the treaty
entered into between the Cabinet of St. James's
and that of the Tuileries ;—that once accom-
plished, the French army would return to France.
Strong reinforcements are preparing in dif-
ferent points of France, in case the war should
be protracted, notwithstanding the pacific as-
surances of the northern Powers. An attempt
has been made in Paris to raise a Russian loan,
but the moneyed men are very reluctant to have
any dealings at present with the Northern Au-
tocrat.

The news from Madrid, up to the 6th, states
that the QUEEN was most indefatigable in her
exertions for the liberal cause, as in case of the
demise of FERDINAND, a desperate struggle will
take place for the throne. FERDINAND was
nearly restored to his usual health.

Paris continues tranquil. The Funds rather
heavy at Wednesday's quotation.

eiher very immoral or very absurd. I " To this
ccnplexion must it come at last," and the
sinner the better, if we are to have purity of
election in spirit as well as in name.

We understand, from a highly respectable
sauce, that Prince TA LLEYRAND and Lord
PALMERSTON have agreed on the basis of a
poposal, by which an arrangement for the paci-
fration of Portugal might be effected; but as
nothing can be done without the concurrence of
tie Spanish Government, and as the Carlist in-
firence in Spain is still very great, it is much to
b. feared that nothing will be done for Don
PEDRO, by which his present position would be
improved.
