From Le National.

What will become of Belgium ? The house of Nassau an no longer
rule it. To raise its throne again there, it would be obliged to keep up
one hundred thousand soldiers. The King himself, if Dutch passions
do not bridle him, would shrink back from so frightful a necessity.
But now that the separation has been pronounced, the question of
internal organisation presents Itself to the Belgians. To the Powers,
who signed the Act of Union, the question of armed intervention
presents itself, which is • serious and complicated question, the solution
of which must decide either peace or war. The five great powers of
Europe signed a treaty at Vienna which chained Belgium to Holland.
This was done to prevent Fab= recovering nine departments the had
posseemed for nearly 10 ; England sopa:billy insisted on Antwerp
not falling into our hands again, and for the better securing of this she
contributed to the expense of the creation of a line of frontier fortresses,
destined to check us a sufficient length of time, in case of war, that
Prussia and herself miet hasten to the field of battle. This is
the system that has been wrecked under the walls of Brno-
seta Certainly, without the necessity of obtaining from France a
consent, which justice and honour command her to refuse, the Pius.
slam armies would already he on the march, if not to restore the
old order of things, at least to preserve the interests of the House
of Nassau. But the Prussians would not dare to act alone. Above
all things, they must consult Austria and Russia, as well as Eng-
land ; they must ascertain whether, in case the arraagements of Vienna
are to be maintained, they would receive assistance—in one word,
whether these Powers would join in • war with France; and it will
take full six weeks to come to an agreement on this subject. It is diffi-
cult to foresee the result of the in which all the Powers,
France included, must participate. onterests the Foreign Powers
is not so much the greatness of the House of Nassau, as to prevent
four millions of Belgians from becoming Frenchmen. This is quite
naturaL If tomorrow Bavaria were revolutionised, and were to give
herself up to Austria or Prussia, the rest of Europe would oppose
it, and not without reason, for the relative ratio of force established
amongst nations would thereby be totally subverted. It is therefore
probable that every thing will depend bag on the organization the
Belgians will give themselves. If they establish a National Govern-
ment of sufficient strength, and sufficiently respected by all parties,
so as to remove all doubt of their maintaining themselves, some un-
easiness respecting the future will be preferred to a general coo-
lagration. If, on the contrary, they split amongst themselves,
after the victory—if the liberal party and the priests, who in the Pie.
mish provinces are energetic and numerous, dispute about power--if
an anarchy was seen to arise of which France might take advantage, then
would the causes and elements of war multiply, and torrents of blood
would probably flow. The wisdom of the Belgians must avert such $
crisis. Order, independence, and liberty are the objects they must coo-
quer, and this is what all Europe, for Its own good, ought to wish.

From the Massager des Ciassbres, Ocd.
Paws, OCT. I.—The following is a knee from Berlin, received
to-day, which gives some curious information respecting the sun of
that capital, and that of public opinion in Prussia:—
" The singular riot among the journeymen tailors, after having oc-
casioned assemblages which continued for three days, in a very peaceable
manner, on the part of the crowd, notwithstanding some cries, or rather
some expressions shout liberty and a constitution, and which were die.
pencil with much moderation by the mined force, appear to have given
an universal impulse to the imaginations of most persons, and which
continues to the moment of my writing. The working daises continue
to walk about in numbers, or to assemble before the public houses.—
No political language is heard among the groups, but they speak
of the severities of the police in trifles: they ask, for instance,
liberty to smoke in the public promenades, and especially in the parks,
and also liberty for the common women to walk about the streets.—
These pretexts, and many others which are connected with local habits,
cause some excitement among the people. Notwithstanding the apps.
rent futility of these grievances, it seems that the least political spark, if
it should fall among the crowd, could num an explosion ; no symptom
of which, however, yet manifests itself in their actions or their language.
The prudence of the Government in the nee of the armed fees, and some
concessions of the police, will doubtless hinder all this from producing
any real political sedition. Ido not think there are soy mere like
the Parisians than the citizens of Berlin in their habits, their know.
ledge, their spirit of independence, and vivacity of character. They
differ essentially in these respects from their eouttntrynsen in the
rest of Germany. Berlin seems quite imbued with the French
spirit, with the same inclination tojnomputese of execution, and with
the advantage of a correctness ofjudgment more to be depended on.
Opinions are unanimous in favour the new French revolution. There
is much national rivalship, and even hatred, towards the Russians.
Nothing would be more unpopular among the Penmen= than the march
of a Russian army through their country whistas. Priam nodose al.
Hance between the sovereign families has no toot in the Prussian nation.
All our wishes are for a strict friendship between Prussia and France
rßussia and Austria. We ardently wish here that the conduct
ointr*l Cabinet in the affairs of Holland and Brabant may not lead us
Ito hostilities with the French nation, which has gained the esteem of all
the Germans by its revolution, which is equally moderate and glorious,
and esppecially by not prating, as was at fiat apprehended, by the W-
Isurreetion at Brabant, to enlarge its territory."

Most limellent Senor—As the list amounts from the 'residers of
Frame announce the approech of Terri*, Owen wed
others, amongst whom Mina likewise la, who people, as they to
assemble the emigrants, and to invade same of our towns in
quarter —the King, our Lord (who Is ever so vignette and attendee to
the tranquillity and prosperity Obis armed vassals, and sepodell) of
thine who, from the situation of their domiciles, wild be exposed to
vend& and plunder), wills, that in oddities to tfrk meanies already

taken, other dispositions should be made to guard the whole frond:7, in
lease these wrt tchts should dare to profane it.
Deeming it, therefore, expedient to augment the garrisons of the
Basque Provinces, although their loyaland numerous Tercios are already
prepared, whose utility is so well known, his Majesty commands that
the provincial regiment of Valladolid, forming part of the garrison of
Seaton', shall march immediately to Tolosa. The first and third bat.
talion of the regiment of America shall march to the kingdom of Na-
varre. This regiment, which was hitherto at Valladolid, shall be re-
placed by that of Bourbon • the Provincial Regiment of 'Aron° shall
reinforce the garrison of Pampeluna, sad that of Burgos shall occupy
Sanguesa. The first regiment of Provincial Chasseurs of the Royal
Foot Guards, has likewise marched to the kingdom of Aragon, of which
you have been apprized by previous letters. the garrisons of Catalonia
are likewise augmented, the King hopes that peace and tranquillity will
be preserved in all that precious part of his dominions which is now
threatened by so atrocious so enemy to his own country ; and although it
is not to be believed that they will complete the whole extent of the
perfidy they boast of, when they shall observe the terrible attitude
which those meritorious corps, the Royalist Volunteers, have taken,
(who begin already to demand their discharge, which the Govern-
ment does not choose to give them,) as well as the attitude of the
towns themselves, (that wish despotism at the Devil.) and when they
reflect on the tremendous punishment that awaits them, his Majesty
wishes the towns to confide in his paternal we. For this reason, and to
counteract the frequent intelligence circulated by men unfortunately still
existing amongst us, who, forgetting their duties and their own welfare,
long for political revolutions, which* only effect the ruin of the State,
and of families, his Majesty commands me to acquaint all the Cap-
tains-General, Commanders of Provinces, and other military autho-
rities, with due secrecy, with all these, that they may endeavour to set
a proper value on exaggerated accounts, and to infuse into the mind of
their subordinate people confidence and tranquillity, and to rest assured
that it is the Sovereign will and pleasure of his Majesty that the oc.
currenees shall be made known for the same purpose, whenever they
happen.
By " the Royal command, and for the purposes aforesaid, 1 state all
this to your Excellency. GOD preserve your Excellenerk

Sees suave 23.—Don Santiago Gomez Negrete has been appointed
Intendant-General of the Police, and Intendant of Majorca. This
scoundrel makes an excellent tool in the hands of &rills, and of the
Corregidor of Madrid, both on account of his immorality, and his
leaning to persecutions, and evil dispositions of every description.
