The following extract of letter from General La
fayette to General Bernard of Washington City,
dated September eth, confirms the rumor that the
French Minister Of War had given notice that no
foreign interference would be permitted by France
in the affairs Of lgium:
"You know that disturbsn ces have taken place
in Belgium: they will end, think, by the separation
OF that country from Holland, under the same sove
reign. We have not lnterfered except to signify
tnat We shall no. suffer that any foreign army should
exercise any right of interference. leaving the
lions to manage their own affairs according TO their
VIII, but not willing that other governments shall
teriere to oppose our neighbors.
We give this extract now, in connection with
the Foreign News, and will publish the en.re letter
Tomorrow to-day we have neither time Ift room
The foreign news by the Silas Richards ten days
later from Europe is Of much interest not to find
place to the exclusion of every thing else. The
King of the Netherlands has at last decided to put
down the instruction in Belgium by the strong arm
The sword is drawn in Europe, and before it is
sheathed, the battle will probably be fought which
will Decide the question between the People and their
Rulers, not merely in Belgium but over the whole
continent nothing can avert this, but the ability of
the King Of the Netherlands que the insurr ecton
unaided by foreign po,oer-We doubt his ability to
do this, and what then--Forcisn aid ,oH be invoked
Prussia, nearest and most Interested had no doubt
ere the blow was struck, been consulted and promis-
ed aid but France declares she ,oH not permit for
eign interference. War between these powers will
then be the inevitable consequence and such war will
combine the continent against France unlessshe can
make work Tor the allied sovereigns at home.
There has been recently published in the Al
bany Advocate letter, dated April 18th, 1926,
II 8 bo ID
ty in New York, to Mr.. Van Buren,, which gives
some insight into the in which political parties
are managed and political contests conducted in that
State. There is doubt of the authenticity OF
the letter, the N. Y. Enquirer admits it, and
boldly defends the sentiments it contains We
well awara that it would smuse and instruct our
readers, but we cannot prevail ourselves to 70
publish private letter-knowng that it has been
published without the knowledge or consent of the
writst. Curiosity has been tiptoe in NJ York
to find out how it reached the hands or the pub
Usher, and it is confidently asserted that 1t was 40
cidently left in an old bureau of Mr.. Van Blu
rens which sold at auc ton when he remo-
we'd to Washington. This circumstance gave rise
TO the following suggestion from the Commercial
Advertiser:
at is whispered that Mr.. Silas Wright. Jun is be-
coming rather too formidable a man for Mr.. Van Blu
ren's views and that if the letter Just come to
light had been purposely left in tire drawer of the
old escritoire when it sent to auction, it would
have been greater treachery than has been enac-
ted before Under these circumstances, beg leave
respectfully TO suggest to Mr.. Sias Wright, jun
whether he would not act wisely by selling one of
his old desks auction, together with Mr.. Van Bu-
rens reply to us letter of April, i326-published by
us on Tuesday Since Of the Regency
stage curtain has been raised the people
to look behind the other"
