by the Brighton from the Courier s. Enquirer, and
presumng it to be the IN all the Daily Papers of
New York, we consequently overlooked the most
important item brought by the arrival! apd what in
deed, if 1t prove true, is the most important event
that has occurred since that of the three DAYS at
Paris. This is the reported march of Prussan
army of $4,000 men on Belgium, speedily to be fol-
lowed by 10000 more. This intelligence wears the
aspect of truth and probability, and If confirmed
may be regarded as the tocsln of general war, in
which Prussia, Austria Russia and England will be
ranged against France Belgium and such allies as
they may find in the sympathy of msugent subjects.
When it is remembered that La Fayette has said
that France will neither interfere in the domestic
affairs of Belgium, suffer others to interfere
that the sympathy and enthusiasm of the French are
such as already to have impelled multitudes into Bel
GUM TO assist in the sruggleit may be considered
certain that the French Government will resist the
hostile intervention of Prussia, and that the new
King and his Minister'S if they have the will, will
not dare to thwart that public opinion VIII oh is ON
nipotent in France. 1t is hardly less apparent that
the King of Prussia would not have taken this
cal step without understanding with England,
who may be considered thus sanctioning his right
of armed interference and pledging herself to
tain him in the consequences. And Europe if these
anticpations correct, is the eve of another
explosion, yet terrific and fruitful of sublime
events than the period embraced between the years
1859 and 1915! If they should prove true, hey are
also the commencement of another abundant COM
mercial harvest to the States, which remote from
the great scenes of War and Revolution can do
nothing but breathe ervent aspirations for those who
struggling for their rights, and profit from their
cpnvulsions
This intelligence however. important, wants
confirmation, and the arrival will be looked to
with still increased solicitude.

LATE FROM ENGLAND.
Increment Of the Prussians.
The most prominent and far the most important
item of intelligence contained in the papers brought
by the Brighton, is the following letter from Osend
1t was received by the London Morning Herald bv
extraordinary express at o'clock In the morning
of October 18th, and immediately published in sec
ond edition.
ssOsrEND, Monday. October II.
"I hasten to send you the important communica
ton which has just been made to that Prssian
army had entered Belgium. They have opened at
three several points-frs by increasing the garrison
of Luxembourg [where 1000 'Prussians always were
by treaty. to 10000 men, peXt, by Maestricht. with
: 5000 men: and then at point more north in GueI
ders which cannot distinctly make out, with 5000
men. The whole are to be directed on Brussels. 1t
is further said that the Prussian force destined for
this amounts altogether TO 5u,OUU men, and
that Prince Aber' who lately married the daughter
of the King sf Holland, is at their head.
s'Aware how newspaper Intelligence is perverted
to Stock Exchange purposes, think it right keep
myself clear of any charge Of that nature by saying
that the above intelligence has been communica-
ted to me official shape believe it, however,
to be true and the English family to whom it was
sent, by friend from Maestfcht, are acting upon it
and intend to quit this country on Tuesday.
s'We without any additional intelligence from
Brussels
eff the Provisional Government are acquainted
with the march of the Prussians they have not as
yet communicated it to the people report, howe
yer prevails that M de Potter has gone to Paris.
and if the news be true, 1t is probable that he has
done to demand assistance "
1t is equally unfortunate and unaccouDfable, that
in different files of London papers, all of the 18th
mssing-so that we have means of judging
what degree of reliance or whether any, given
to this information by the most intelligent of the
London press. In the London Standard of the 5th
however we find letter from Paris of the 18th,
which, besides wearing important aspect in other
respects, corroborates the information of the Nor
ming Herald. We quote the whole passage:-
at is announced to day by letters from Berlin and
from Frankfort, that the King of Prussia has actu
ally marched 5000 troops TO the frontiers of Bel
uium, and that 10000 further troops will fol-
low their steps. If this statement be true and
have every for linking il probable, the ques
ton will become increasingly complicated since if
the civil war between Holland and Belgium shall
rage in few days with increased violence. 1t cannot
be supposed that the Prussian forces will remain in
active idle spectators Of the passing events.
You will recollec,, that lately spoke the non-sup
preston Of political excitement IN the Rhenish pro-
vinces of Prussia This statement quite
rect. The King ofPrussia, with view Of suppress
lug this revolutionary movement, has directed The
tax the vineyards not to be collected this year.
This measure, though late, has given it is said,
siderable satisfaction and the government is more
popular. 1t is added that the King of Holland has
received real assistance from Berlin, in the shape of
both money and men-tbe Prussian forces arriving as
travellers or private individuals habed in the dress
of private persons. On he whole, we are waiting
with great anxiety for the next mail from the Hague,
IN order TO learn whether the tbrea' ened attack on
Brussels will or will not be made forthwith II IS
said that the King Of the Netherlands, being assured
Of the non-intervenou of either England France,
has resolved on fighting out the question with the
Beglans and on Not submitting to the separation OF
Belgium from his throne"
