pond at BRUSSELS, dateUJhe 25th and Goth of Mo-
.e.oer. The writer is strong the belief that the
Jndcious proceedings of the Bel sic Congress will
inevitably bring down upon the country tho wrath
of the Holy Alliance The fatal STEP the writer be-
heves, was the decree excluding tho House of Mas
sau from the Throne Of Belgium forever We mako
the following extract from The letter OF the Goth,
which although of date no later than received

The same intelligent writer argues the question
as to- the pro?ri'ty u! the course pursued bv The
Brlgc Congress. but our limits f,rbd the insertion
OF his Ietir. We quote the following:

"Will there be war in Europe?" He does No, f.,

not fear for France, because he believes Enpln,d
