THE STATESMAN.

LONDON:

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 20, IFIIS.

A plentiful supply of Foreign Papers has been re-
ceived since our fast, from which we have extracted
the most important articles. The latest arrivals are
ninth JonrnalK and Letters to the 18th, and a
Dutch Mail, brindng Brussels and Frankfort Papers
to corre.ponding dates. These reached us at a late
hour this forenoon. We tali, therefore, only give a
brief arm 13 sis of their contents. The accounts from
Vienna, wl.ich are to the (ith, and from the countries
affected by the negociations, ure not such as to con-
firm the impression that the Congress have terminated
their dispute:. According to the statements in the
rtotich Papers, Lord CASTIttI:EAGII %vat: not to Lave

Vienna till the 100. His Leirdvhip evidently nails
of soave paint concilved to be of more
importance to this country tjan either Poland or
54zony, which are stated to' be settled—how we neetl.
varcely say.
The point in which it it suppused we are most in.
fereo..-cl ii Rt Igium, and this appears to be rather

knotty. Thu contentions ;shout fixing the ft ontiers of
l'rus•ia and Fr unee,w Idyls are still coatinued, involve
the safety and interests of Bolginut and Holland; and
it is reasonably supposed that for securing these ob-
j.'ets, it is necessary that the provinces of the Nether-
lands should net be separated from each other; but
he under one Government, that of Holland. The
clay on which all these psovittres %sill be united under
one head, and in snprort of the true interests and
independence of their colinfrv, will indeed be the
f.tirtst in their history ; but they have never beets
veuy cosdially united in this object, or agreed as to

the method of obtaining it.
There are still some milittry indications, for which
it is hard to account. M,rslial Over sot. (Doke of
Reggio) arrived lately at Alettiz, to take the com-
mand of the Fieorli troops between Alsace and
French Etai.ders. This General, it is affirmed,
leaves nutting untried to animate the soldiers with
the spirit that is 44 consotia.it to the existing order of
things;" and it is remaked, that the prudent mea-
snres which the French Government has adopted for
this perpnv., with equal wisdoin and firmitess, have
produced %that is considered a very good effect--the
inspiring, perhaps, of a pacific, siri it ; yet this is
tattier an odd mission to scud Marshal OucitNoT
uiron.The remark is Ditch—by "good effect" it can-
not mean keeping the Prty,siarts at a distance, for we
sne it stated in the Ifirritc Cnur,vtl, of the 17th, that
" Ei.gland 11•:5 declared, as we are assured, that its
do...ire is nut only that Prussia shall receive a great
;pet ,aso of territory, but that it may obtain such in.
.leimnfici!ions as are the best e:deulated to make it a
ct uirt of union het wee', Rol4iurii and Germany."
Tile 41,10-ruination, 11,:vforP, of the frontiers of
litriland, or rather Fe.:2,iires. on the s:,lts of Franco,
seems to become one of the,rnost iatportatit points of
tire negotiatioos at the Congress. " Fr4lice," say the
Vienna letters, " seeks to circumscribe, as much as
pris,ible, the influence of England in the provinces,
Or its frontiers; but, on the other hand, England
strongly insiAs on the qgraadisement of the new
kingdom of Belgium."
Our Nrgociator ought to have settled this point
ultit France before we restored her colonies: IVe
I,,e;lght we were not conferring sufficient benefits on
France by giving her back the Bouttuoxs,—we must

thiu.s into her lap, without stipulation, the colonies
u!•o--and now, after we have enabled her to can-
t with us in every particular, we are to Nubble
her, and further impoverish ourselves to give
6:7 imsflour to the House of Orange !!
Itut this is not all. We have another task
(.1 our hands, of equally difficult accomplish-
