SAINT LAURENT (DEPARTAIENT OF THE VAR),Dae. 15.

(Correspondence of the Massager.)
" The garrison of Nice is composed of two regiments of
infantry, and a company of light cavalry. As for the pos-
sibility of keeping down public opinion much longer, I think
it is difficult.
" Every body (so my friends write to me) remembers that
they were once Frenchmen, and aho would not be proud to
he under the paternal, liberal, and eminently legal govern-
ment of Louis Philip I. ?
" We often speak of France,—we long for her,—we ad-
dress all our wishes to her,—may she one day send us hers!
" We sympathise with the nations who feel the value of
liberty ; of course our thoughts are directed to Switzerland,
Belgium, Poland, and above all France.
" It is reported that the Austrians are advancing towards
Piedmont. I imagine you will interfere if it should be ne-
genial!. The people of July have nothing to fear from the
oppressors of Italy.
" A letter from Bellingzona, of December 7, contains the
following details, of which we, however, by no means war-
rant the authenticity :
" ' Terror is at its height in the city of Turin. A small
fort is building on the Monte to bombard the city in case of
an insurrection. Cannon are planted in the principal streets,
and gunners bivouac about their guns.
" The King of Sardinia has quitted Genoa to return to
Turin. The Genoese have offered him a pension of a mil-
lion and a half to obtain the independence of the ancient
republic. The King, refusing this offer, has ordered the
arrest of a number of Genoese citizens, who have been
imprisoned in the citidal of Alexandria, the fortress of Fe-
nestrelles, and the castle of Ivree. It is affirmed that,
Charles Felix intends to abdicate in favour of the Duke of
Modena.'

The following extracts from the Dutch papers, which
arrived last night, require no comment
THE HAGUE, Dec. 23.
" According to accounts from various quarters, the loan
for 1830 is subscribed with the greatest readiness and zeal.
It is said that two-thirds are already paid, though the whole
amount is not required before the end of January next.
This is another proof of the sentiments which now animate
the inhabitants of the old provinces.
" Last Monday a few Belgian brigands appeared at
Chaam, in North Brabant, who, however, soon retired after
having regaled themselves with beer and gin.
" On Tuesday 250 Belgian volunteers with some officers
posted themselves in Barle Nassau, on the Dutch territory.
Lieutenant-General Van Geen immediately caused all com-
munication with Bade to be interrupted, probably because
that village is wholly out of the military line.
" General Dibbets, Governor of the citadel of Maastricht,
reports, that having learned that the inhabitants of Vise had
detained two ships with oats and one with coals coming to
Maestricht, he had by way of reprisal stopped two waggons
with tobacco, going from Venloo to Liege, and had caused
the goods to be deposited in the entrepot.
" FRANKFORT, Dec. 21.
" An article, dated Cracow, the 10th of December, gives
the following particulars of the state of things in Poland :
" The Provisional Government of Warsaw has assured
all the envoys of foreign Powers, in a circular letter, that
their persons and property are placed under the protection of
the Polish nation, and that they need not entertain any ap-
prehension ; that the Government will earnestly endeavour
to cause the change effected in the kingdom of Poland to be
considered as having no connexion whatever with the pro-
vinces that formerly belonged to Poland, and that it will
oppose all attempts that may be made to cause an insurrec-
tion in Posen or in Gallicia.'
