.se varieus Countries Of Europe within the
last fortv-eight hours, and tell me how can
think otherwise?
From Russia we have Officia! intelligence of
the raising Of trOOps-Of the nOn-Fecogn'tiOn
of our Louis Philippe, King Of the French
of the determination off Emperor to main
tain the cursed Holy Alliance system Of 1915
of the marching Of troOpstO the envirOns of
Germany---and Of the protest of the 81. Pc
tersburg Court against the exclusion OF the
House Of Nassau from Belgium. and against
the revolutionary spirit IN the West OF Eu-
.rOpet
From Prussia we have official intelligence
of nearly one hundred thousand troops being
ready to march intO Belgian at an instant's
notice-we have the fact Of the marriage of
two members Of The families Of the King Of
Holland and Prussia, which bind them tOgeth-
err to oppose the late revolution in Belgium
we have news of the concord existing be-
tween the Courts of Berlin and ST. Peters
burg, as to the course which should be adopt
ed, in case the House Of NASSAU should be ex-
cluded!
From Belgium we have official intelligence
of tie exclusion Grever Of the House Of Mas
sau from all power in Belgium adopted by n
majority in the Congress of seven to one!~
But we have more than this ! We hate off,
cial intelligence that this decision was come fOt
notwithstanding before its decision diplO~
matte communication was made to the Corr
gress on the part Of Russia, which stated fiat in
! case the House Of Nassau should be excluded
from the throne Of Belgium, the peace Of Eu~
rope would be disturbed. When this conn
| munication was made, were the brave Belgi-
ans intimid ated and disconnected Oh. M
on the contrary, they proceeded at once tor
| the order Of the day-paidnO attention to the
diplomatic cOmmunicatiou, which was inten-
ded to intimidate them and inally resolved
that the House Of Nassau was forever exclu-
ded from the throne!
From Holland we have intelligence which
is too confrmatOry ofOur fears Ofwar. Prus-
sian troops ane entering Holland. Maesfriche
is reinforced by Dutch soldiers. Venloo is
said to be retaken; Antwerp is not to be a.
bandoned; the armistice is in fact broken,
and King William remains obstinate and de-
cided. Luxembourg is to be occupied With
an army Of the Germanic confederation; ; and
the King, Of Holland treats the Belgian revO-
luton as an insuTrectiOn, and the Belgians az
rebels. He is encouraged in this view by
Russia, Prussia, Austria and Spain, who
have all common interest to protect, and
common views to guide them.
From Austria we have intelligence Of tlie
levy Ut nifty thousand men in HungarY-Ofthe
dissatisfaction Of the Court Of Vipnna with
the present order Of things in France-of the
occupation of the South of Europe by 1907
600 Austrian troOps-and Of the resolution of
the Emperor and Prince Meternixh not TO re-
cognse the Belgian Revolution!
OF Naples, Sardinia and Spain. will say
nothing! They win follow their leaders,
II then we are to have war. it will begin A.
bout the question Of Belgium. France will
not allow Belgium to be attacked. and Prus-
STA will resent the int, ference of France
Russia will not admit the exclusion Of the
Nassaus, and the Belgians have rejected them.
What then do fear? That war is, alas
inevitable. Try to avert it; assist 10 prevent
ing il. But If it must come, then let Great
Britain and France act together, and the con-
test against them. in the final result, will be as
ludicrous as that Of Don Quixotte and the
windmills. O. Pc.
