(From the Times Private ,Correspondent.)
M. Durand de Mareuil, the French Ambassador
at the Hague, who has long been the friend of Tal-
leyrand, and who has, as such, been selected to re-
place the latter during his absence from London, as
Ambassador at the British Court, and Plenipoten-
tiary at the Conference, arrived in this city late on
Wednesday, on his way to Paris. He had inter-
views with various official persons, and yesterday
dined with King Leopold. He started this morning
at seven o'clock for Paris, from whence he is soon to
proceed to London.
The opinion of this diplomatist, as declared to
different persons, is, that there is but little chance
of the King of Holland's coming to terms with Bel-
gium, for he is resolved to hold out, in order to wait
the result of events, before he for ever yields his
legal right to the sovereignty of this country. In
this obstinate course he is upheld by the three ab-
solute Powers—Austria, Prussia, and Russia—of
all of which the object is defined to be, that of keep-
ing Great Britain and France involved in the intri-
cacies of the Belgi-Dutch question, while they ar-
range the partition of Germany among themselves.
Austria is making extensive levies for the purpose,
while Prussia watches the favourable moment of
pouncing upon Saxony, and the small States that
intervene between her provinces. Russia is resolved
to extend her dominion to the Vistula, and to con-
ciliate Prussia by an indemnity in Germany.
The events in Paris have excited the greatest inte-
rest here, for the people, on hearing the name of " re-
public" mentioned, thought of the period when ma-
rauders, under the blood-red banner, plundered and
murdered. The success of the peace party has been
hailed with pleasure by the great majority of the
Belgians, among whom the Carlists and the Repub-
licans have not been able to find any sympathy.
Various efforts have been made to cause alarm by
couriers, sent expressly from Paris to Amsterdam,
who scattered reports of the most dismal kind in
the different towns through which they passed.
There is a strong suspicion that the King of
Holland and his friend ()award, the notorious Pa-
risian speculator, were privy to the invasion of the
Duchess of Berri, and to the movement at Paris.
It was said that the Dutch King has contributed
money to aid the former, but this is doubted.

Some of the leaders of the violent party here,
have, during several days, rendered themselves re-
markable, by advocating an immediate attack upon
the Dutch : they fancied that it was possible to per-
suade the Belgic Government of the necessity of the
movement, but now they are disappointed, for the
chiefs of this people ask with much correctness,
" What is to be gained by an attack at this moment ?"
The troops are prepared to repel any invasion of the
territory, but the Belgians know their interests to
be those of peace, and they, while protesting most
energetically against all dishonourable terms, are not
desirous of a war of aggrandizement.
Some trifling disturbances took place at the
theatre last night, which the police repressed with
ease. This day, in consequence of the funeral of a
young Belgian, who was wounded in a duel by a
French officer, some apprehensions of a disturbance
were formed, but all continues tranquil.
