of certain political combinations. If other events displece these Mat

nounc.cd to our commissioners, that Prince Leopold would accept, if th.:
integrity of our territory was guaranteed to us—that this affair might he
amicably arranged by an indemnity to be paid by Belgium to Hulk. d.
—He asked them what indemnity Belgium would he disposed to
offer ? Our commissioners are said to have replied, that they
had no instructions on this point; and it is affirmed that the object oh
the dispatches brought by M. Han wand was to ask the Government f.l
their instructions. We can positively affirm, that Lord Ponsonhy,
before his departure, shewed a letter, announcing that the Prince e:
Saxe Cobourg was inclined to accept the Crown—Belge.
N. de Brouckcre. one of our Commissioners in London, arrived a.
Brussels the day before yesterday. Prince Leopold continues to
most favourably disposed : the great obstacle is no longer Luxemburg.
but Limburg; and it is on this point that the negotiations now turn.
M. de Brouckcre has come to Brussels for further instructious on
this head; but has been anticipated by 111. Devaux, who act OW
for London, on Monday night. Tie journey of Lord Ponsonby ii
with the same view. The Government, as well as the whole Belgic
nation, remains invariable ; and we arc assured that the instruction:
given to M. Divaux are conceived in this spirit.—Courrier.
For two or three days, the Courrier has talked of M. Robaulx as
Minister. We are able to affirm that that gentleman does not at all
aspire to the office of Minister: he has even declared to one of our edi-
, tors, that if an offer were made him, he would not hesitate a moment to
refuse it.—Belge.
The Journal of Breda announced some time ago, that the
Belgic Government was inclined to enter into an arrange.
ment with Holland. This news, which was repeated by all
the Dutch journals has been received with joy in Holland ; and accord.
ling to a private letter from Amsterdam of May 8, it had a favourable
effect on the funds. We expect, with impatience, the publication of
the letter, addressed to the Dutch Government. It is destined to pre.
duce a great impression in Holland.
The police of Brussels, arrested the day before yesterday, a person
designated as an exciter of disorder. He was arrested in a public.
house, and it is said that he had about him 1,100 florins.

armed. The Polish soldiers are sent to Transylvania, and the officers
to different places in Austria. The cannon and arms were given up by
the Austrian authorities to General Rudigcr.
REauw, May 6.—Accounts from the theatre of war in Poland are
very scamty • we have nothing authentic respecting the positions, or the
strength of ;he two armies. In Wareaw the issue of a battle which
was considered to be near at hand, was anxiously looked for.
From St. Petersburgh we learn that the Emperor has positively dc.
dined the media, ion in the laths of Poland, which England and
France urgently offered ; and that the most colossal measures are or.
dered in all Russia, in order, in a short time, to put down the insane•
lion by force of arms.-411gemcine Zeitung, (Ssopplenseva) Miy 11.
