AtempE oJ the betgt0"S SO ""t1e WtS" Fr0nce.-The L0ntOn Courier says: We have received from Paris the following lntor- nation connected with the affairs Of the Netherlands; M. Gendebien, the gentleman drputed by the Provisional government of Brussels to make an offer of an alliance with France, has had interviews with the Minister for Foreign Affairs and others, bu; has been most unsuccessful. He was informed that, with whatever satisfaction the French govern ment might view the prospect Of increased friendly relations with the Belgians, 1t would only be as connected with the general tran quility of Europe; which would be endang- cred by annex ing the territory Of Belgium to France, Or placing it under the especial pro- lection of the latter country It was ln con sequence of lhe had success of M. Gendc- bicn's mission that the Provisional govern ment of Brussels issued proclamation, de elaring Belgium an independent Stafe. Cn- der what form Of government, ana What ch'el, this State is to be placed, IS now the point of interest the objections in other quarters to its being independent, are not, we believe, such as to cause any serious obstacles to the settlement of the question.
 Preparations Jor q ne,o Consultation in Bet- gium.-A Belfast paper of Oct l4th' con taining accounts from Brussels to the 9th. says: The Belgic provinces are DOW busted ID preparing d constitution for themselves. The proposal from the Prince of Orange has come too late. The Begians pay no regard tO the promises of House, who first tried t0 rule them as a province conquered by the sword and who, when the attempt has been thrown back, with disgrace, on the head that origina- ted it, would now make offers of reconciIia- ton, which they cannot withhold. The Prince calls on the Brlgians to accept a separate con- stitution, with himself at their head; they will form constitution for themselves, but the house of Nassau shall have noth- ing to do with its formation. The Pro- visiOnal Government. are taking the necessary measures for settling their own affairs. They will have an independent government, wheth- CT mOnarchial or republican, is not yet known; most probably republican. The following decrees of the Provisional Government, are preparatory to the formation of new con- stitution:
 A commission for framing project of constitution is appointed, and in concert with the Central Committee it will immediately en- ter upon it's functions.
 It will first of all occupy itself in preparing a new mode of election, to be as popular, as possible. -.
 It will present project of a constitution inc tended to become, after being submitted 10 ,he examination of the National Congress, the fundamental law of Belgium.
 The Committee Central reserves to itself the power of adding to the commission for
 framing constitution the most distine uished
 men of all the provinces, as soon as it ac-
 q,ires that information which it expects on
 this subject. Agitation i Holland.-A Paris paper says {:
 "There is great agitation in Holland. They accuse the King of having, hy his obstinacy, brought matters to the present crisis. The merchants of Amsterdam, who had offered pecuniary succors to the King. before mat ters were brought to the state in which they now are, have closed their purses, excus:ng the mselves upon the ground, that by the de- precist;on of the pubIlc funds, they have ex- perienced great losses. A letter from the Hague says, the King Is in state of anxiety difficult to describe. He regrets much that matters have been driven to this point. Ds- turbances have broken out in many cities of Holland. where they have refused to pay the. direct impOsts.'
 Proclamation of tie Prince of Oranev.- On the 5th of October, the Prince of Orange issued a proclamation at Antwerp, addressed to the inhabitants of the Belgic provinces, in which he says:
 "Our heart bleeds at the evils which you have suffered may we, seconded by the ef- forts of all good citizens. prevent ihe calami- ties which may still threaten you. In quit ting you We conveyed to the feet of the Throne the wishes expressed by many of you for separation between the two parts of the Kingdom. remaining, however. under the same sceptre. This wish has been granted. But before the mode and condition of this great measure can be- determined in the con- stltutIonal forms, attended with inevitable delays, already his Majesty grants provision ally to the Southern Provinces distinct ad- | composed entirely of Belgians, of which am the chief"
