THE EVENING STAR.

LONDON.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 9.

Yesterday morning the KING inspected the First Regi-
ment of the second Battalion of Life Guards, at the Barracks,
Brighton. Afterwards the Duke of NORFOLK had an au-
dience of his MAJESTY.

Our Readers will find in our succeeding columns an ac-
count of what has occurred between the KING of the
Netherlands and his Belgian subjects; which, with the procla-
mation of the former, and the particulars given yesterday, will
afford all that is known of the present position of the popular
struggle in that quarter. The Krwa has behaved rationally ;
and the people, we think, deserve to have the same word
applied to their conduct. The KING has called a meeting
of the States-General, and the determination of the question
is to be referred to that constitutional body.
We have not an adequate knowledge of the composition
and temper likely to be exhibited by that body, to forsee so
clearly as some express themselves to do, that its decision
will determine the existing differences, unless we suppose the
majority shall be under the controul of the Kiwo, or be de-
cidedly favourable to the political changes now proposed.
We conceive experience will prove, that the Belgian feel-
ings and interests, lead more towards a connection with
their Gallic neighbours than their Batavian ; and that it is
only the prudential—and in some degree compulsory—cold-
ness assumed by the former towards them, on the present
occasion, that has driven them to their only alternative—that
of maintaining simply their claims to an independent Go-
vernment.

The States-General may be supposed to comprise those
who represent the Dutch, as well as those who represent the
Belgian Provinces. Now it unfortunately happens, that
the disagreement between these two portions of his Nether-
land MAJESTY'S subjects, is not based merely on fanciful
grounds, but on real discrepancies of interest. The interest
of a Dutch trader at Rotterdam, and a Belgian at
Antwerp, are directly adverse ; and it is well
known, the greatest commercial jealousy and rivalship
have existed between the merchants at those places. If we
next turn our attention to the interests of the Belgian
manufacturers, we shall find their connection with Holland
has not proved advantageous, in comparison with what
they had experienced when in connection with France. In
fact, their manufactures are comparatively excluded from the
most advantageous, and most convenient market.

With respect to the patronage of Government—the loaves
and fishes—contests and jealousies have constantly existed
at the Hague. The Dutch influential inhabitants are as
much adverse to the Belgian aspirants for the good
things of Government, as they could be, were
they entirely unconnected. Add to all these dis-
crepant interests, the well known fact, that the
two people are distinct in language, taste and genius; and
we think the whole will present points much more difficult to
unite in beneficial amity, than are equalled by any existing
differences between ether united states. We deem the cases
of England and Scotland, Ireland and England, or even
Norway and Sweden, not to be analogous; and, with
these views, we do not imagine the settlement which
the King of Holland, and the States General, will
have to accomplish, an easy one. In the meanwhile, it will

be seen by the following intelligence, that surrounding coun-
tries are proceeding in the same course of " revolutionary
movement."

We are favoured with the perusal of a private letter, dated
at Frankfort, September 1. It is to the following effect :
Disturbances are breaking out every where. To-day we
have accounts of a turn-out at Aix la Chapels. The work-
men have destroyed all the steam-machinery, and burnt se-
veral manufactories. It appears the Prussians are not in
great force in the Rhenish provinces. If Prussia sends
troops there, a revolution will break out in Berlin. You know
that the Germans are, for the most part, governed by le bon
plaisir. The Darmstadt parliament refuse to allow the Grand
Duke the sums he wanted; and he threatens to remove his
residence to Giessen I He chooses a bad time for it how-
ever. All is at present quiet here; but a war is looked for."

The Flemish Mail has arrived, but the letters will not be
delivered until a late hour. In the absence of which, we
have the report, that the communication between Ostend
and Antwerp has been cut off.
