i SIX DAYS STILL LATER.
| On Saturday afternoon the Telegraph
announced that the packet ship Canada,
Capt. Macy, from Liverpool, was in the
ofling. AT an early hour yesterday
! morning, the Editors If the Mercantile
Advertiser received their regular files Of
London papers to the 18th, Liverpool to
the 18th, and Glasgow to the 18th Au-
gust. all inclusive, together with Lon
don Shipping Lists and their Correspon-
dents letters to the ates. dates The
Canada sailed on the 10th August.
The news by this arrival is of a much
more pacific character, than might have
been expected from the tenor of the pre-
ceding accounts by the Salem 1t seems
certain that the King Of Holland had no
promise OF assistance in his invasion Of
Belgium, from Prussia, or any other pow
er, at leas., he received none, and that
the decisive movements Of France and
England, lave forced King William TO
declare that in commencing hostilities a
gainst the Belgians, he had not the slight
est wish TO embrol himself with the Five
Great Powers-that he had regarded the
quarrel strictly between himself and the
Belgians, and not at all connected with
the interests Of the Great Powers-but
being assured, that continuance Of hos
tilities will be viewed with dissatisfac-
ton by the Conference, and desirous Of
remaining on friendly footing with the
Great Powers, he will withdraw his
troops within his own territory, as soon
as he shall have received intelligence
that the French troops have actually en-
tered Belgium, for he will regard such
an entrance as an intimation on the part
Of France as adopting the quarrel on the
part Of the Belgians by the Conference.
The King of Holland has intimated also,
he has sent orders to the commanders of
his troops to retire upon the advice ofthe
French army, and on no account to cam
NIT any act of hostility after such an ad-
vance.
| To enter into details, of the two con-
flicts in which the Dutch and Belgian
troops were engaged-and touch upon
the thousand rumors, authentic and un-
authentic, that have emanatcd from
Brussels, as well as other places in Bel
GUM, would not only be uninteresting
but would fill much more space than we
could possibly spare in this great crowd
OF foreign news. 1t is certain that the
Dutch behaved bravely, and it is equally
certain that the Belgians have shown a
craven spirit, which by their deeds, till
now, from the breaking out Of the Revo-
luton, we little expected from them.
The greatest praise is due to King
Leopold for his coolness and presence of
mind. By his remaining and concen-
tratng his little army of l8, 900 men at
Louvain, he has saved the honor of Bel
GUM.
The French army had entered Bel
gium in three columns, so as to reach
Ghent, Manor, and Louvain, by nearly
the same moment. This evening it is
expected that 2 500 French Cavalry will
have reached the latter place. None
are to enter Brussels.
Official news had been received at
Brussels on the 18th, that the British
uCCt hdu dIllNcu III t1t OCuCIuI tudt va
Batavia, the capital Of Java, and Of
course the whole Island, has fallen into
the hands Of the Belgians.

H REFORM BILL:-The latest Lon
don Chronicle says, In the division on
the clause for dividing counties, there
was a greater diversity Of voting than
has as yet taken place since the Bill was
in the Committee. The numbers for the
division, and with Ministers, were 24l ;
and the numbers against them were l22
giving majority in favor Of Ministers Of
ll9.
H Many members gave up their objec-
tons to the clause expressly to support
Ministers and carry the Bill.
From all the circumstances attending
this division the friends Of the Bill may
consider it conclusive as to its final sue
cess in the House Of Commons.
