Nelr- York, September 18Th.

she sailed on the 10th August, bringing
us London papers of 9th, and Liverpool
OF 10Th August. The news by this ar
rival is of an important character. 1t an
nounces that the King Of Holland, dis,
satisfied with the Protocol which placed
Leopold on the throne OF Belgium, had,
after the termination Of the armistice on
the 4th Of August, marched an army into
Belgium, said to be 10000 strong. In
consequence Of this, Leopold despatched
messengers to England and France, re-
questing of these powers that protection
which they promised him. On receiving
his message Louis Philip Immediately
summoned a Cabinet Council, consisting
Of NJ. Perier and his colleagues, who 1t
appears had not been displaced, at which
it was resolved to send Marshal Gerard
at tho head Of 10000 mon, to protect
Bele ium & preserve the neutrality guar
antetd blythe Protocol The King two
sons, the Dukes of Orleans & Nemours,
had Joined the army. The English gov.
ernment, on their part, fitted out fleet
under the command of Admiral Codring-
ton, to proceed to the Scheldt, and coop
crate with the French.
From Poland this arrival furnishes
nothing important. The Russians were
advancing on Warsaw. The Dict, in
that Capital had held several sessions
with closed doors: though the subject Of
their deliberations had not transplred ma
nv reports were in circulation. Some
affirm that their sittings referred to the
Commander in Chief Skryznecki; that
he had been severely censured, and that
Council of War would be Immediately
summoned to enquire into the general
state of the country and To ascertain the
extent Of the efforts and sacrifices that 1t
would be required to make for its protec-
ton against the Russians

BELGIUM.
From the London Herald.
We have nothing to add to our notice
Of the Paris papers of Saturday and Sun
day. The great political problem Of the
day-the conduct Of Prussia with respect
tn the Dutch war, is not yet solved; for
it seems to be conceded upon all hands
that the fiat Of European war or peace
must issue from Berlin. The French pa
pers generally lean to the conclusion that
Prussia is not hostilely resolved, and it
gives diplomatic assurances to the same
effect. But very few days must put an
end to all doubt upon the subject.
France, it is very evident, is burning for
a war-the troops which left Paris on
their way to Belgium were loudly cheer
ed and fondly caressed by the people
it will require some judgment to lay the
spirit thus unre easonably evoked.
80 With regard to the corporation Of the
French with the Belgian forces, there is
paragraph in an article from Malines,
which informs US that the "fact of 40 or
$4,000 Frenchmen, coming to assist Leo
pold against the Dutch does not afford
much satisfaction TO many Of his sub jects,
for the soldiers and the Civic Guards are
not afraid to meet the Dutch single-hand

From the Times, Of the 9th August
BRUssrLs, Aug. 4.-Thursday even
ing, o'clock. The greatest enthusiasm
prevails in this city and throughout the
country. Every preparation is making
to repe the invasion of the king of Hol-
land, to whose rage and madness this un-
expected aggression is attributed. 1t is
now stated that he will be expelled from
that country very soon; for the barbarous
manner in which his troops have began
the war is regarded as deserving retalia-
ton, and the Belgians threaten, i'll return
for the fire and inundation caused by his
soldiers, to enter Holland and devastate
it, unless he be expelled.
General Belliard arrived in this CITY
last night, and at 8 o'clock he had an in
terview with the King. lie set out this
morning for Antwerp, liz order to have
personal communication with General
Chase, and if possible to convince him
Of the dangers which must result to Hol-
land and its King from bombarding Ant
werp, which is considered peaceable
city.
M. de Meulenare, addressed a note
to Gen. Chase dated Sd August, stating
that Belgian Government had heard with
surprise, the announcement that the arm
istice was about to end-refers to the
Protocol signed by the Five Great Pow
ers on Goth Nov. 1880, which caused a
suspension Of arms between the Dutch
and Belgians; and add, that Leopold
had referred the affair to the nedatlng
powers, and leaves it to Gen. Chase, If
his sense of duty does not prescribe him
to suspend hostllities until answers from
