HOLLAND AND BELGIUM.
The annexed letter from Brussels, contains
the latest news from that quarter. There is
frequent firing between the Dutch and Belgian
troops near Antwerp. and great irritation
prevails. The Dutch, finding the Belgians
invested by a hostile spirit naturally are incens
ed, and as in a case lately, where the Dutch
sentinel fired at the Belgian, it was the sudden
impulse arising from provocation on the part Of
the latter. There is too much i'll blood afloat;
and the departure Of Lord Ponsonby the British
Minister. had increased the excitement. The
Belgian government seems to have a very great
disposition for hOstilities. The Generals of hi.
vision OH actn al service, have been summoned to
attend a council Of War, in the event of hostili.
ties recommending. The accounts from Luxcm-
burg, state. that the occupation of the Grand
Duchy by the troops of the Confederation is near
at hand, but the English journalists suspect these
opinions are premature; the arrangements point
ed out by the Congress Of London are those
which it is believed will be adhered TO-, and tho
much ill-wilI may be afoat as respects the diff,
%ferences between Holland and Belgium, it is
hoped a satisfactory arrangement will conclude
the discussions.
Brussels, June 15.-Information, will have by
this time, no doubt reached you, that hostilities
have commenced between the Dutch and Bel
gianS at Lilo. Having been accustomed to skir-
mishes Of this kind between the outposts, the
government attached no Importance to it, but, [
am sorry to inform you that the state of Antwerp
has now become seriously grave. 1t appears that
the King of Holland, anxious to create dissen-
ton IN Belgium, even at the risk of hostilitles,
is using his influence and money, and, through
his emissaries. a~oitatinr the question of the I'm.
