 f Me have nothing to add to our notie, | odf d the Paris papers of Saturday an,
 ountay. The great political problem oi the day-the conduct of Prussia will
 respect 10 the Dutch war, is not yet soly
 ed; tor It seems to be conceded upo,
 all hands that the fiat of European
 war or peace must issue from Berlin
 ihe French papers generally lean te
 the conclusion that Prussia is moi hos
 tliely resolved. and t gives diplomatic
 assurances to the same effect. But a
 lew days must put an end 10 all doubts
 upon the subject. France, # IS very ev-
 idenf, IS burning for a war-the troops
 which Jeff Paris On their way to Beiei-
 um were loudly cheered and fondIy e;,-
 ressed by the people. It will require
 some Judgment to lay the spirit thus un. sonably evoked.
 The King of Holland has lost Bata-
 via, the capital of the island of Java. in
 the East Indies, which was at all times considered most important colony of
 Holland. II has declared for Belgium, and 1t was thought would lead 10 the de- ieetIonof the whole Island. This is ano- ther enemy which his Majesty may add to this already large list.
 ffaaee.-Leopold applied simultane- ously to England and Trance as mem bers of the Alliance which had deelar- ed an arnistiec between Holland and Belgium, and had engaged to guaranty the neutrality and independence of Bel gum, France ordered her troops to march because it was represented hy the Belgian Minister at Paris that in- mediate assistance was indspensably required for the protection of Belgium.
 The English Government immediate y ordered squadron to the Downs. to be ready to act as circumstances might require. But the French troops will enter Belgium solely to establish ar ar mlstices and will eYacuate the country again as soon as the Dutch troops shall have retired to their own territory

 M0ych of the F.elcA. A.-I1vents of iHa- Portanec thielsen on us-tFe die of war | IS east-and a French army of fifty | thousand men is now on its march 10 as- sist the King of the Belgians in repell- ing the invasion of the Dutch. Thisi indeed important news, and must lead | to results of great importance.
 ftappears that on Thursday night in- telligence had been received at Paris off the Dutch having broken the armstice, and commenced immediate hostiiities by the capture of some Belgian towns. l Nearly at the same lime an express ar rived from king Leopold, demanding the aid Of a French army to preserve ! the neutrality Of Belgium, and to repel the Dutch. The French King inme- diately convoked Council, at which M. Perrier and all the late Ministry at- tended. The result of their delibera- lions was the publication ofan Extraor-l dinary Edition of the Monitcur.
 The decision of the French is at once prompt -bold-honorable and in aceor- dance with the often expressed feelings of the Nation. But the hequestion arises. what will be the consequence of this step? We answer-war with Prussia with Russia--and very probably war with Austria! Atpresent thisseems unavoidable from the appearance of things, for 1t is impossible to conceive that the perfidious King Of Holland, with all his obstinacy, would have been mad enough to prccipitate war wiiti,- out the secret encouragement of Prus- sia and Russia. But he will vet pay dearly for his temerity.
 By the Caaada--.sir days later.-The sdvices by the packet ship Canada are up to the 10th August from Liverpool, and to the 18th from London.
 The storm of war which was gather ing over Europe, seems to have dispcrs- ed as rapidly as it rose. According to the news by the Canada, bringing Lon- don. dates of the 18th, the King of Hol- land had consented to withdraw his troops from Belgium, an event which was officially announced by Lord Pal merston, in the House of Commons, on the 1lth; and that, in consequence, | the French troops would forthwith re- turn with their borders. This little ! burst of war may, therefore, really con- duce to establish peace more perma- nently.
 The conduct of inc Belgian troops when in face of the enemy, appears to have been most pusillanimous. They fled on two several occasions, it is said, without firing a shot-manifestly with
