The Messenger des Chambers saws there is
great agitation in Holland. They accuse the
King of having, by his. obsinacy, brought matters
to the present crisis. The merchants of Amster-
dam who had offered pecuniary succours to the
King before matters were bro't to the state in
which they now are, have closed their purses.
excusing themselves upon the ground that by the
depreciation of the public funds, they have expert
enced great losses.
A letter from the Hague says, the King is in a
state Of anxiety difficult to describe. He regrets
much that matters have been driven to this point
Disturbances have broken out IN many cities of
Holland, woere they have refusec to pay the di-
rect imposts.
So complete is the separation, already. from the
House of Nassau, that when the Prince of Orange
wished to concert measures with some members
of the Pro>siona Government, for the purpose
OF conciliatlng his Interests, and those of the
Be'sians. it was replied. that they could not re-
cOsnize the authority. either of the King or the
Prince, and that they must be Instructed BY the
National Congress, who alone could treat with
him. All idea of reconciliation is now at an
end. We wait. with much anxiety, the issue.
The Belgians are more than able to vindicate
their authority against Holland; but the contest
will inevitably involve other interests.
