Dublin at the time Of the arrest of Mr. OCon-
uel at one O'clock yesterday. The City was
then in the greatest state of excitement; bu-
siness partially suspended: thousands OF peo-
pc surrou ding the pol c, office, and some OF the
streets rendered impossible By being blockaded
up by carriages and dense masses OF individuals,
all eagerly inquiring into the cause OF the arrest

Bath were riding out in the city on horseback.
BELGIUM AND HoLLAND-The protocol of the
ministers Of the five great powers. assembled IN
London, has been published. 1t insists that the
King Of the Netherlands shall open the Scheldt,
and that the Bclgians, on the other hand, shall
withdraw their land forces to their original posi-
ton. The document has been made Known to
the National Congress, who are highly lncensed
nj il. and deny the right OF the hve powers to
interfere between tine two countries. This they
have formally declared. 1t is said the King of
the Netherlands will not comply, but whether or
no, the English consul, at Antwerp, has ANNOUNCE
ed, that after the Goth no interruption OF the ma
yiyation will be tolerated by the five powers. At
ter two days. debating in congress, on the choice
of sovereign, Notwithstanding all the articles
and efforts that have been employed, the Duke OF
Leuchtenbery has been rejected by u majority of
six votes. The Prince of Orange has addressed
a manifesto to the Beige nation, once more offer
ing himself to their choice as their sovereign,
which he observes, will deliver then from all their
difficulties. and ensure the peace, union, aud re-
pose of the State. He declares that this will,
doubtless, meet the appreciation of the great pow
ers. and will. therefore, secure the foreign rea-
tions of Belgium: that he still retains the aiter-
tion Of a great portion of the people; and that.
if elected, he will uphold the Catholic religion,
secure religious liberty. continue the present mi
usters of state in their office, and consign to OBJ
lvion all remembrance OF past events. Several
persons have been arrested for scattering pacards
in favor of the Prince Of Orange, the contents of
which were sensibly and prudentIy drawn up
France, the British Cabinet, all the powers are
said to support the Prince of Orange.
The London Courier Of the 25th Jan. states
that the King of Holland has made an important
communication to the States-General, on the SUD,
ject Of the protocol Of the FIVE Powers. " The
King reluctantly and ungraciously consents to
the opening Of the river Scheldt; hut his consent
to the separation of Belgium from Holland is
given only conditionaly. and the conditions are
such that he may at any time during the discus
sion on the articles of separation, re-assert his
claim over the revolted provinces. The commu-
uication is calculated to increase the feeling of
hostility against the Nassau Family, in Belgium.
and is, we think, singularly tilt for the at
tempt which the friends of the Prince OF Orange
are making. If after this communication from
the King, and without formal remuneration of
his right to the throne of Holland, and OF all con-
nexion with that country, he should succeed in
his pretensions to the crown of Belgium, the sep
aration of the two countries will be one of name
rather than of reality, and the election OF the
prince of Orange may be fairly considered as the
commencement of counter revolution in favor
Of the late sovereign. But the question Is not
yet settled, and as notwithstanding the outward
show Of sincerity and good will BY those who are
supposed to have an influence over the King OF
Holland. Intrigues have probably been in motion
I, prevent such frank abandonment Of his
