person who ought to be well-informed as to the passing of

Dutch frontiers. They now remain on the confines, wall,
for the reply of Holland as to the fate of General ChassC

[From the evening edition of the Independant.]
REFUSAL OF THE KING OF HOLLAND.

We have just received news from Antwerp of the retur
the Dutch officer charged with the mission to the Hague
specting the capitulation of the citadel. Messrs. de Tale
and Passy, who have returned with him, were obliged to a'
his return on the frontier; their entry into Holland having
refused.

King William refuses to evacuate the forts of Lillo and
kenshoek, dec►aring that he wilt give them up only to :
and not as required by the terms of the capitulation.
This refusal wilt astonish no one.

BRUSSELS, DEC. '27, THURSDAY, ONE, P.M.—Those who
culate on Dutch obstinacy
.are not likely to be disappoi°,
while William of Orange reigns. He has, as was expected
every body here, sent an answer in the negative to the pr 4
tions for the surrender of the forts Lillo and Liefkens
Situated as those two forts are, it will be difficult to take
unless a frost should come so hard as to make the ice a
polders about them able to bear the weight of cannon; au
the last twenty years there has not been, I am informed,
a frost here, nor is there any appearance at present of the
bable approach of such weather. On the contrary, it
usually mild for the season.
Preparations are already begun for the evacuation of
citadel and the forts dependent on it, by the Dutch gar
who will be marched without delay to the rear of the F
army, and, as soon as places are ready for their reception,
it is probable, be sent into France.

TURKEY AND EGYPT.

In the Moniteur Ottoman of the 24th Nov., an article on
subject of the Sultan's quarrel with the Pacha of Egypt,
tended as an expose addressed to the Goveinments and
of Europe by order of the Sultan himself. Unanswerab
the facts stated in this expose must prove, it is• obvious that
Sultan did not stand in need of any such means to proela,
Europe the justice (4 his cause. Every government and
vidual conversant with the modern history of Turkey are a
that the Sultan was never guilty of any act of injustice, op
sion, or provocation, which could in the remotest manner j 5

unexpected revolution placed him on the throne.
There are persons in Europe who are individually inter
in the prosperity and success of the Pacha of Egypt, and,
therefore, are taking great pains to show that his cause 15
most deserving of popularity of the two. In proportion,
ever, as the quarrel between the Sultan and his powerful "
increases in interest and importance, Europe will natu
wish well to the side whose triumph will best promote the c

Ali is an ignorant and uneducated Turk, who has risen
