Very tate and important from Europe.
There have been three arrivals at New York
since our last paper, yiz-the Salem from Liver
pool with advices to the 10th August-the Canada
with Liverpool advces to the 16th,-and the Alaba-
ma with Paris dates to the 10th August. We are
indebted to our correspondents of the Courier, Dali
ly Advertiser, Journal of Commerce, American
Mercnntile and Standard Offices, for extra Sheets
from which we make the annexed extracts. We
copy the intelligence in the order of its arrival.
BY THE SALEM.-Hostilities bet,ocen Holland
and Be[gium-Ma,c oh Of the French
Army Of $4,000 men.
This ship brings Liverpool dates to the 10th Au-
gust. The most important items by her are an
nexed:
Leopold applied simultaneously to England and
France m embers of the Alliance which had de-
clared an armistice between Holland and Belgium,
and had engaged to guarantee the neutrality and
independence of Belgium. Franco ordered her
troops to march because it was represented by the
Belgian Minister at Paris that immediate assistance
was indispcnsably required for the protection of
Bel GUM.
The English Government Immediately ordered a
squadron to the Downs to be ready to act as cir
cumstanccs might require. But the French troops
will enter Belgium solely to establish an armisice
and will evacuae the country again as soon as the
Dutch troops shall have retired to their own terri
tory.-IimeS Sta.

MARCH OF THE FRENCH ARMY.
Events of Importance thicken us-the die oil
war Is cast-and French army Of fifty thousand
men is its march to assist the King of the
Bclgians in repclling the invasion of the Dutch
This is indeed important news, and must lead to
results Of great Importance.
1t appears that on Thursday night, intelligence
had been received at Paris of the Dutch having
broken the arnistice, and commenced immediate
hostlllties by the capture Of some Belgian towns
Nearly at the time an express arrived from
King Leopold, demanding the aid Of French ar
my TO preserve the neutrality of Belgium, and tc
rcPcl the Dutch. The French King immediatolv
convOkcd n council, at which NJ. Pcrier, and al
the late Ministry attended. The result of the
deliberations was the publication Of all Extraordi
nary Edition Of tho Moniteur!
The decision of the French is at orco prompt
bold-honorsblc-and in accordance with the otter
expressed feelings Of the nation.
By The Canada-Sic Days later.
The advices by the packet ship Canada are NJ
TO tho 18th August from Liverpool, and to tho 15ti
from london
The storm of war which was gathering over Eu
rope, seems to haze been dispersed as rapidly as i
rose. According 10 The news by the Canada bring
ing London dates Of the 18th, the king of HOLLAND
had consented to withdraw his troops from Bclei
um, event which was officially announced b,
Lord Palmcrston, in the House Of Commons, OF
the lt; aad that in consequence the FreHcl troop
would forthwith return within their borders. Til
little burst OF war may, therefore, really conduc
to establish peace more permanently.
The conduct Of The Belgian troops when in fac
Of the enemy, appears to have been most pusillan
/ imous. They fed on two several occasions II
/ said without firing shot--manifcstly, withou
rcloading if they did fire. But for tho presence 0
4 the French troops in Brussels, there can be it'll
reason TO doubt that the Prince Of Orange woul
have entered that city a conqueror. Leopold be

gathering round her capital; and thero will be n
