neremptorv. 1t was believed. however. that the
Protocol of the Goth, and Sebastianis letter,
would increase the number OF the Duke of Leuch-
tenburg's parisans. The correspondent of the
Journal du Havre adds
sit was not without discussion that the Coun-
Gil of the King had so determined, and they pre-
tend that the august will, which has hitherto
shown itself so inflexibe, has suffered itself to
be Influenced, and at length settled upon this
resolution The Ministers were not unanimous
for the adoption of thc'plan which appears to
have prevailed"
In the sitting of the ssth, NJ. Lehon reported
a project upon the mode of election, which re-
aures that an absolute majority OF all the votes
is necessary to choice; ard in the event OF nell
ther of the candidates having majority. those
two who shall have received the greatest number
will then be the only persons eligible to second
election! The Congress will then proceed to
the choice of one of these two. No blanks
will be allowed. The successful candidate will
then be declared King of the Belgians," and
will then proceed to take the prescribed oath to
support the constitution & the laws of the people.
and to maintain the independence OF Belgium
and the integrity of its territories.
The English, as If foreseeing this result, have
sent structions to Lord Ponsonby, to quit Brus-
sells upon its occurrence.
Nj. Bresson had gone to Paris, to ascertain
precisely what the decision of the Court OF France
would be upon the election either OF the Duke
de Nemours, or of Leuchtenburg. The reply OF
Ministers was peremptory, that the election
of the latter candidate would he considered de-
cIaratory of hostilies between the two countries.
But, if the election of the son Of the King Lou
is Philip was the only means to hinder that OF the
Duke de Leuchtenburg, they should be LETT to act
as they please, and be even aided to induce the
success of the French party.
Such maxim would be equivalent to re-an-
nexation of Belgium to France, and would be
followed by immediate and general 'hostilties.
THE POLISH REVOLUTION.
Our intelligence from the capital of Poland. IS
no later than before; but there are several arti-
cles from other parts of the nation, containing
statements not heretofore received here. 1t was
reported that negotiations for the pacifcation of
Poland, had been opened. and that the French
minister at st. Peersburgh has instructions in ia
vor of such measure.
The Hamburg Correspondent contains the fol-
lowing. of the Esd ult. from Berlin The cause

The Augsburg Gazette gives the following ex-
tract of q letter, dated frontiers of Poland, JAM
49, A general impression prevails in the
country, that an amicabe arrangement with the
Emperor Nicholas is now quite out OF the ques-
ton. Until the 10th there was still ray of
hope that an Intervention would take place; but
the Emperor neither can nor will extend the am
nestv to the ringleaders themselves. The Sc
uuestration of the estates of Prince CZartorinsky
in the old Polish provinces, and the transportation
of 500 Wilma students into the interior of the
empire, are measures which Indicate that severe
