Already the state Of parties in the Chamber oil
Deputies is evinced by the proceedings outof that
House. An Opposition Club has been formed at
J,o;nters. of which the celebrated Eusbe Salverte
ia the p PRESIDENT. This is the party of ''move-
meut.n and to it belong all those patriots OF the
Chamber who desire to witness the honest aud
tborouoh performance Of the programme ct the
July Revolution. fhe Ministerial party has not
associated; but a third partyIhas hired, IN the rue
ReyoIis, a handsome aud convenient Clubhouse,
and there that independent association OF Depu-
Ties will assemble who will vote tor or against Mt
~oisters. with reference solely to the measures be-
fore them. and quite irrespective OF the men.-
The leaders of this independent Association are
Berenyer, Taillandier, Las Cases, Ballot, Ma,
hul, and Dumeyelet. Tots proceedings we shall
look with interest and anxiety. IL rs Jusfem.-

The reply Of the King OF Holland to the prot"-
col of the l8 Articles has excited no surprise
Those who knew his character did not antlclpate
an acquiesceuce on his part, and 1t is, therefore,
amongst other reasons that | said, a few days
since. - the Belgian question IS not settled"
The state of affairs in Belgium is somewhat i'm
proved. For the moment the Belgians have a
~raIlyins point-aud if the King will place INN
self at the head OF the patriotic party, he may re
tain for 4 long while his present popularity. Ills
new ministry must decide this. He did wisely
to attend al the Cathedral Of Brussels. and take
a part in the national re Deum. lie has made a
temperate and judicious speech to the Clergy. lie
has assured the Deputies OF Luxembourg and
Limbsurs that he will not abandon those provin.
ces, nor relinquish their rights. All this is wei
and promising. Ifthe new monarch shall st
act, war, however, is almost inevitable; but he
will be sustained IN that contest by a whole pc
p%ulation.
The last news from Portugal is explanatory o
the teIeyraphic dispatches. 1t appears that thu
French Government has given no directions t
Baron Ruussin, beyond those of demanding ant
enforcing apologies and satisfaction. The Wis
count de Santarem has agreed to these requlsl
tons, and, ere now. the Gazette has recorded thu
rest. But what then: Is the Portuguese ques
ton to remain in this position? Is Donna Mari;
to be received with hOnors due TO royalty at Bres
and Don Miguel be allowed to remain King Of
Portugal? | cannot answer the questions. The
Portuguese must now decide. A French feet i
there; is it there to aid them, or merely TO TN
farce obedience to certain useless cOncesslons!-
[ know not. but we must wait and see.
