tend her thoughts and wishes to othey
lands, after she shall have first rcpell-
ed the invader from her own. Have
not then right TO say, as one who
wishes well to France, well to this old ,
Europe, and well to human nature,
that fear much, very much fear, and {
tremhIe when think that there will
lee war in Europe
But do i believe that this war is
probable am obliged to do so. Fact
after fact occurs; and courier after
courier, from every country in Europe,
arrives with such rapidity, bringing
additional facts and additional news
all leading to war, that am compelled
against my will to declare--yes, war !
is probable. Take my facts. Take
the news which we have received from
the various. countries of Europe within
the last forty eight hours, and tell me
how can think otherwise.
From Russia we have official intel

non-rccognition If our Louis Philip,
King of the French; ofthe determina-

the exclusion of the H~usc of Nassag
from Belgium, and against the n ai'i-
tionary spirit in the west o sa-
rope!
From Prussia we have official in.~.-
ligcnce Of nearly one hundred thou
sand troops being ready to march into
Belgium at an instant's notice--we,
have the fact Of the marriage, Of two
members of the families of the Kings
of Holland and Prussia which bind
them together to oppose tho late Rev
olution in Belgiun--we have next the
official news Of the concord existing
between the Courts of Berlin and St.
: Petersburg, as to the course Which
lshould be adopted, in case the House
of Nassau should be excluded.
/, From Belgium we have oIficiai in
telligence of the exclusion for ever of
the Hmsc of Nassau, from all power
in Belgium! adopted by a majority in
Congress of seven to one! But VIC have
more than this We have officia! in
tellgence that this decision has come
to, Notwithstanding before its decision

10 Congress on the part of Russia,
which stated, that In case the IIonse
of Nassau should be excluded from the
throne OF Belgium, the peace of Eu-
rope would be disturbed. When this
communication was made, were the
brave BeIgians intimidated and discon

lnatic communication ~ l1eh wass~:ss

was for ever excluded from the throne
| From Holland we have intclIigenc,
which is too confrmntory Of our feafs
ofwar. Prussian troops were entering
Holland. Mcastriclir is reinforced by
Dutch soldiers. Ven!oo is said to be
retalxer; Antwerp is not to be abandon
ed /; the armistice is in fact broken, and
king William remains obstinate and
decided. Luxembourg is to be occu-
pied with an army of the Germanic
confederation and the king Of Hoi-
land treats the Belgian revolution as
an instruction; and the Belginns as
robeis. He is encouraged in t;sis view
by Russia, Prussia, Austria aud Spain,
who have all common interests to pro-
tect and common views 20 guide them.
From Austria we have intelligence,
of the levy oftitty thousand men in
Hungary; of the dissatisfaction Of the
| Court of Vienna with the present Or
der of things in France; Of the occu-
patton Of the south Of Europe by l5O,-
/ 900 Austrian troops, and of the reso-
luton. of the Emperor and Prince Met
ternich, not to recognise the Belgian
revolutions.

will say nothing They will follow
their lenders! Ifthen we are to have
war, it will begin about the question
of Belgium. France will not allow
4 Belgium TO he attacked, and Prussia
I will resent the interference of France.
Russia will not admit exclusion Of the
] the Nassaus, and the Belgians have re-
'ljcctcd them.
