What has the protocol of the goth of january estab

scribes to Hollando return within the limits she pos
sessed in $780, when she called the Republic of the
United Provinces. All that composed the kingdom of
the Netherlands will form part of Belgium, except
Luxembourg. But Luxembourg is spoken of. The
negotiations engaged in that subject yet impose
me some reserve. However, let examine it. (EX-
prcssions of curiosity and interest) great part OF
the province of Luxcbourgh took part in the Belgian
Instruction; the city of Luxembourg took it is

ignorant that Baron Strogono Major General in the
Russian army, some time ago at Berlin, commits
stoned to stipulate passage for the Russian troous
through the Prussan territories. There happened to
be another parsonage ut Bern-no other than Field
Marshal Diebitsch himse-and it to him that these
negotiations if any such there were must have been in
