news of his definite nomination, at the second scrutiny, 1,33
just arrived this instant. The Council is assembled. France
has a right to expect a frank and disembarrassed reply of
all diplomatic after-thoughts to be made to the Belgians._
If war is decided on, it is to be hoped Government finds it.
self sufficiently strong to maintain it, and, without doubt,
it will meet the declaration with courage. That which the
country wants above all, is to be acquainted with its future,
and to know in what ways to engage.—Le Temps.
It appears that, after many hesitations, the Ministry
has decided to accept the Belgian crown for the Duke of
Nemours, should it be offered to him. This explains the
refusal made by the Cabinet to accede to the protocol
of London, which, notwithstanding, had been signed by
M. Talleyrand. They will find certain means of proving
that M. Talleyrand did well in signing the protocol of Lou-
don, and that the French Government had reason not to ac.
cede to it. If any one is to he blamed, it is those who were
good enough to believe, that the interests of the revolution of
July, would be considered in the conferences of London.
I They have thought that it would not be suitable for the
dynasty; and the fear of having the Duke of Leuchtenberg
fur a neighbour, has opened their eyes upon the danger of
leaving to the conference of London, the arbitrary determi.
nation of the limits of the new State.—Le National.

The news from Brussels of the day before yesterday is im-
portant. The party of the Duke de 'Nemours appears to hive
mado progress in consequence of the declaration made by N.
Van de Weyer, which has produced a conviction that the
King of France would not refuse his son to Belgium. The
choice is perhaps made at this moment, and probably Go-
vernment has the knowledge of ft.—Journal du Commerce.

The Manifesto of General Diebitsch wants no commen-
taries. The tone which prevails in that official piece is out
of European habits, and leans towards those of Asia, in spite
of the pretensions of the Russian Cabinet to pass for some-
thing better than Tartars. General Diebitach speaks worthy
of the successor of Suwarow ; amnesty and pardon to those
who will receive the knout without murmuring ; military
judgement and the penalty of death against all Pole& who
do not acknowledge themselves the slaves of Russia; peace
and pardon to honest bondsmen and worthy Jews who will
submit without reserve, and who do not possess any thing;
liustice, and Russian justice ! for the chiefs, the authors, the
instigators of the rebellion, which is composed of the nobles,
the citizens, and the rich Israelities. It remains to know
the effect which this Manifesto in the style of Tamerlane
will produce upon the Poles. For them there is no middle
course to steer between surrendering at discretion or defend-
ing themselves unto death.—Le National.
The following is the explanation given of the report
which was spread of a combat between the Russians and
the Poles :—M. Czembowski, Polish Lieutenant, had been
sent to reconnoitre, with a piquet of sixty or eighty men,
composed of infantry and cavalry, and pushed fcrward into
the Russian cantonments, where he found about one hundred
and fifty men, of which the half was Cossack cavalry. Be-
tween these tiro detachments there was a skirmish, of
which the Poles had the advantage, but they retired imme-
diately after, upon the lines of their army. This affair was of
no importance. General Diebitscb has not yet made any
movement ; and more, there have been new negotiations
opened with the Provisionary Government of Poland.—

Extract of a letter from Huningen, Jan. 31, 1831.
" Hostilities between the Government of Bile, and the pro-
visionary Government of Liman, have not yet terminated,
as late circumstances authorise us to believe. The mem-
bers of the Provisionary Government of Lintel', who have
fled, have addressed the Diet to obtain its intervention again.
They solicit from the Government of Zurich, arms,
nition, and men. This government is disposed to accede to
their demand. They have spread new proclamations in the
communes of the country. On the other side, the inhabi-
tants of Bide have retaken a defensive attitude •, the ram-
wts of the city are again furnished with artillery ; some
Deputies have left for Zurich ; others for Lucerne ; for the
purpose of causing their adversaries to miscarry in the pro-
ceedings which they have taken with these two governments.

SPAix.—What will be said by the Minister for Foreign
Affairs, now that Spain is really making preparations for war
of all kinds. It is certain that st Vittoria a convent of nuns is
to be converted into an hospital, and two convents of monks
are to serve as barracks. We know what to say to these
things. It is never without grave reasons that Spain touches
her holy institutions. Orders are equally given for the
levy of provincial militia, which will compose an ef-
fective of about 80,000 men. The population of the fron-
tiers are being armed upon several points. Five hundred
muskets have been sent to the valley of Aran. It appears,
_in
fact, that the whole of Europe intends to give the lie to M.
Sebastian. It is announced upon the southern frontier that
the Duchess of Berry is expected at Madrid in the month
of April. This, at least,is a report generally spread in the
capital of Spain.—Le Tribune.
The news from the frontiers of Spain inform us that the
garrison of Pampeluna is increased to 5,000 men ; that of
St. Sebastian to 2,000. The Spaniards are making entrench-
ments upon several points ; they are putting all their places
in a state of defence ; it is not known from whence the go-
vernment of Ferdinand draw their actual pecuniary resources.
In several departments, the French absolutists proclaim
aloud that they only wait for a manifesto from the Emperor
Nicholas, and the entry of the Spaniards, in order to rise
against the actual government.—La Revolution.
