The reports in circulation of the march of the Prussian

troops to Belgium, we are credibly informed, are without foun-
dation. Some of the Prussians may be going to complete their
garrisons on the frontiers; but the most important information
we can communicate this morning,is that which we have from
a most respectable quarter, vis.—A person of high chase-
ter will immediately proceed to the Continent, from our Go-
vernment, to act as mediator between the Dutch and Bel-
gians, whose endeavours will be directed to an amicable ad-
justment to the satisfaction of both parties, if possible. This
gentleman, coming from so great a power, will no doubt
have great weight on both parties; and it may be inferred
that some arrangement will take place ere long.
We have quite a blank day in the City in regard to ar-
rivals. No mail is due, nor has any arrived as yet. The
Liverpool steamer is expected to arrive from Ostend In the
course of the day.

C 117„ HALF-PIST ON&

We give the following report, as we heard it, That
Colonel Bentic was dispatched to our Government, to solicit
of them to tale possession of Ostend and Antwerp, as
the Dutch Government could no longer assist them-
selves. At the same time, a dispatch had been sent
to the Prussian Government from the Hague, to take
possessian of the Belgian fortresses. The answer given
by our Ministers was, that we could not interfere, not hav-
ing sufficient troops to spare at present, but we did not
object to the fortresses being in possession of the Russians.
It is also stated that the Dutch Ambassador and the Rus-
sian Ambassador were present, and several of the Cabinet
Ministers, when the above answer was given.
The Ostend steamer has not as yet arrived, which is
anxiously expected, as it is supposed it will bring some
important events from Antwerp and Ghent.
The Coneol Market is not so good as in the early part of
the morning, when they were dons at 87, at present may
be quoted 86(1 for the Account, with little doing.
An Express has arrived from Paris, but the contents not
having transpired, it is supposed the Rentes are lower.
In the Foreign Market nothing doing—prices much the
same as yesterday.
Consols which left of yesterday 87a to 1, opened at 861
for the account. On the report of a suspension of hostili-
ties between the Dutch and Belgians, they went up to 861 :
at present they are 8611 for the account. Foreign Funds
all lower.
