PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.

PARIS, Jima 9.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR.

Sit—When I read the foreign policy of the STA!'
my heart warms to see that there is at least one English
Journalist wbo understands the real interests of his coun.
try, and would sever it entirely from the trammels of the
not yet extinct Holy Alliance, and connect it for all 6c•
nefkial purposes with free and regenerated France.
You are not, Sir, without a worthy coadjutor in the
litornieg Herald, whose enlightened and able articles I
read with xlmost equal delight ; but what has of late di.
luted the Chronicle, As for the pandering weathercock
Times, I loath it.
Truly, Sir, we are in a straight about Belgium, and
the Hotaxs, naturally enough, are resolved to make the
most of it; and, such is the untoward biearrerie of the
affair, they are aided in this, their baneful labour, by the
ultra liberals of France !

Limberg Is the unfortunate tool wherewith these ill.
assorted confederates are at work, to induce Belgium to
throw herself upon France—there/1 adding the strength of
England to that of despots in the war easy are preparing
against liberty throughout Europe. _

May the film be timely removed from the eyes, both of
French and Belgians ! England, they ought to know, can
never suffer the incorporation of Belgium with France.--
Alas ! why do the friends of political freedom trifle with the
great cause, and play into the hands of their crafty and
most bitter enemies ? Can France discover no Indemnity
but in placing, as it were, a pistol to the bosom of England ;
and is it necessary to the security of Belgium, to obtain an
entire province, carrying her into the very heart of her
neighbour ? There can be no alliance between England
and France, till the Belgian question is finished, and both
Governments have committed themselves, that Limberg
shall remain (it would be hard dealing were it otherwise) to
the sorely stricken King of HOLLAND. Luiemburgh 13
quite another question : it ought to belong to Belgium.
But is an alliance between England and France of no
price? To me It seems paramount and invaluatl,:. It if.
then, not only freedom for France, England, and Belgi um,
but for Poland—glorious Poland I—perhaps also for Spain.
Portugal, and Italy. England and France, combined, will
speedily dissipate the storm which implacable tyranny is
gathering, in contempt of the moderation of Louts Put.
LIPPE, and his too pacific Ministers.
Look at Austria, not only with her 150,000 soldiers in
Italy, superintending the black deed done upon the brave
MENOTTI ; but with her 100,000 on Ms Inn. It has been
well said, " she fears Russia, but she hates liberty mon:
Look to it Louts nutters, and Puree. Her troops
have quitted Ancona, for Milan and Padua—the one at the
foot of the Simplon—the other of the new military road over
the Attila ; both lead to the frontier of France.
Look at Prussia-150,000 men press upon the borders of
struggling Poland, to restrain the cholera, bat also to se' se
and disarm the flying Poles, and to re-equip and return upon
the sane of their barbarities, the ruthless soldiers of Russia.
Thorn is a depot of supplies for Diebitach, which depopu-
lated and ravaged Poland, can no longer furnish, and with•
out which he must retire and knee her free-103,000 Pews•
scans are on the Rhine, and will remain there as long as the
Austrians are only upon the Ina and South of the Alps.
Last, though not least, look at Spain—that riddle of
Louis Philippian policy. Vital to France, either u friend
or for, and easily convertible into the first, her obsiinete
courage has nevertheless been suffered, if not eneeurag.d. to
marshal itself under the banners of implacable absolutism
and now armed and equipt for evil, instead of good, she only
awaits the moment when France shall be engaged. either
foreign war or domestic troubles, to repay the debt of 1823,
as FZEDINAND 1104IM wish it paid. In vain has imbecility
or treachery at Paris alternately flattered and deprecated the
pitiful and faithless creature that governs at Madrid. Those
gallant spirits who, instructed by experience, would ha"
carded into the bosom of their country a solid and redone!
liberty, deprived of their arms, or driven prematurely on-
ward by French authorities, are now presented by her minis•
