BELeIuM.--In the Belgian Assembly on the
2Sth Nav, the Minister for Foreign Affairs read
a long letter from Lord Ponsonby, in relation to
the settlement Of the affairs of Belgium by the
allied powers. This letter produced cOnsidera-
BILE agitation. The following are extracts from it:
{" The Congress finds the boundaries Of Hol-
land, and treaties constitute, with respect to
boundaries, the law of nations The Congress
cannot violate that law. The Congress desires
that Belgium may place itself in the ordinary cir
Gle of European States. recognizing the common
obligation OF treaties, taking part IN the burdens
and the benefits of the policy received among ma.
tons, and constituting itself in such a manner
that II NAV have right to demand that all other
States should acknowledge and treat it as an as
sociate.
"If Belgium consents to place itself in this
situation, the Congress will assist it, by powerful
mediation, to obtain the duchy of Luxembourg BY
treaty, and for an equitable indemnity; andby
effectual means the Congress will prevent any
military interference on the part Of the German
Confederation during the negotiation.
- The Congress would see with pleasure the
Belgian Congress elect some Sovereign who
might not personally interfere with the rights of
other governments, and will recognize with par
ticular satisfaction the Prince on whom the Bel
gians seem especiallyto have turned their eyes,
provided that the Congress- will enable him to
place himself In the common circles OF Govern |
ments.
:. The hesitation which his ROYAL Hghness |
Prince Leopold has shown in the answers which |
he has made to the Deputies who sounded his OPT |
MON with respect to the sovereignty Of Belgium. |
sufficiently shows the disinterested nature of his
ROYAL Hishness's principles, and that his Royal
Highness would not accept crown which should |
be offered TO him. il he could not wear it with |
honor TO Belgium and himself. However, the
Prince is now convinced, to his entire satisfac-
ton, tnat he is Sufficiently authorized to expect
with confidence the equitable and speedy execu.
ton of the measures by which the Congress will
assist III the satisfactory arrangement OF the at
fairs of Luxembourg; and the Prince is ready to
take upon himself, as Sovereign, the completion
of this affair."
