BRIIIIIIKLI, MAY 27....-131 r—I mired yesterday erenint
and will not even to do better, delay to communicate to yeti
some ideas on the state of your affairs, as far as the Cong"
at London is interested in them. I, therefore, rely on your
indulgence, which, I hope, will excuse the imperfection, a
a letter written in the greatest baste.

The Congress finds the boundaries of Holland net
treaties constituting with respect to boundaries the yw
nations. The Congress cannot violate that law,
quently it cannot consent that Belgium should assume the
right to fix the frontiers of another sate; but the Con
gress
is, nevertheless, inclined, as far as it shall be able, without
violating the fundamental principles of European policy, to
remedy such things u may be contrary to the interests of Del.
glum, and at the same time. not be injurious to the intesnta
of the neighbouring nations. Acting with these views,the
Congress desires that Belgium may place itself in the
ordinary circle of European States, recognising the cent,mon obligation of Treaties, taking part in the burdens
and the benefits of the policy received among nations, and in.
stituting itself in such a manner that It may have a right
to demand that all other states should acknowledge and
treat it as an associate. If Belgium consents to place iteelf
in this situation, the Congress will assist it by its pown.
ful mediation to obtain the duchy of Luxemburg by a
treaty, and for an equitable indemnity and by effectual
means,the Congress will prevent any military occupation on
the part of the Germ. Coofed. during the negotiation. It must
be observed, by this mode of proceeding, Belgium will ob.
tale this territory peaceably and for ever. Whereas it la at
least uncertain whether it will obtain it by war; and the in.
habitants of the Duchy will be spared the calamities which
fall on those whose country becomes the theatre of war.

The Congress is animated by • feeling of good will to.
wards Belgium : its real object is peace now, and in future
founded on the security and independence of that country,
and a definitive arrangement of all Its interests.

The Congress would therefore see with pleasure the Bel.
glen Congress elect some sovereign who might not personally
interfere with the rights of other governments; and it will
recognise with particular satisfaction the Prince on whom
the Belgians seem especially to have turned their eyes pro.
tided that the Congress invite him to place himself in the
common circle of the governments.

On what principle of reason could Belgium pretend to
place itself In a situation different from that undet
which ail other nations live ? Why should it de.
mend exclusively the privilege to dictate are to
all other nations, on questions of disputed territory,
and to withdraw itself from the obligation of observing t e
general rule, negotiations, and treaties ; pretending, all at
once, to have recourse to violence and war, to secure what it
considers as its rights ? Is Belgium powerful enough to
face the lye great military nations of Europe to subscribe to
its wishes ? Do some persons think that the people of Europe
may be excited to resistance to their respective governments in
order to enable Belgium to destroy the authority of Treaties,
the only principle that preserves nations from a perpetual
war ? There can be no more serious and dangerous etror
than such an opinion.

The great Powers are sufficiently aware et their true le.
wrests not to dispute among themselves on the Belgic gun.
don ; that is to say, on the question whether Treaties ought
to be observed.

On the contrary they will act with unanimity, and tiny
will have the concurrence and approbation of their people.
Belgium is excited to have recourse to arms t and why ?
To retain Luxemburg. But It may possess it in peace sal
security for the thousandth part of the price which an at.
tempt to keep that country by force of arms would as s is
it not imprudent to hesitate on the choice ? Belgium de.
sires to conquer Maesuricht, the left bank of the Scheldt, sod
to take from Holland soma other parts of its ancient pour.
slam. Now that the policy of Europe is cridet
even to the least enlightened mind, can it be &dud
that Belgium is unable to obtain any one of these
things by force or arms, unless it succeeds in conquer•
log the armies of Francs—(marks of ineredulity)—of Pew
sia, of Austria, and of England ? (Violent murmurs sad
interruption.) Not an inch of Dutch territory will be idt
to Belgium, unless It has vanquished Europe—to say Dodges
of what it might lose of its own territory, if it should hap-
pen to be vanquished iteelfin such a contest. (Long him.

The hesitation which his Royal Flightiest Prince leo-
pold has shown in the answers which baba made to the
doped's, who sounded his opinion with respect to the
sovereignty of Belgium, sufficiently skews the dis-
interested nature of his Royal Highness's principles.
and roves that his Royal Highness would not maps a
Crown which should be offered to him, if be could net war
It with honour to Belgium and himself. Hurter, the
Prince is now convinced, to his entire satisfaction, that be

equitable and speedy exeutioa of the roessures by which
