We hear this morning that Maaame de Genlis
has died. at the age OF 90. She was autnoress ot

the westward to-day-those from Holland ana
Belgium are decidedly Of a more favorable char
acter. there being now every prospect, especially
since the recognition of the independence OF the
BeIgians BY the five leading Powers OF Europe,
oG an amicable adjustment OF the differences De-
tween each Power. Ii is quite PLAIN, from the
contents Of the adyices. that the financial ar
rangement and the apportlonment OF u Puohc
debt of Holland, will be one OF the greatest oos'a-
rles. and which will create more Ill blood be-
tween the Dutch and Belgians than any other
circumstance. The citadel Of Antwerp, 1t seems

settled; and if SO, many months will certainly
,lapse before the citadel devOlves into other
hands 1t would not surprise US 10 ind that the
King of Holland will require the intervention OF
England, or Of France, or OF some other continen-
tai Power, to settle the disputes between him and
the Belgans.
SENTENCES UPON THE EX-MlNlSTERS.
We have Just received from our own Reporter
The sentence passed upon the State prisoners,
whose trial has excited so much interest in France
and throughout Europe. Our readers will learn

men will not be she'd, but vet a large oblation
has been made upon the altar of offended justice
and outraged national rights. The remainder OF
their DAYS is doomed to incarceratiOn-and IN
generation within the limits of France. They
are deprived Of all property, titles, honors. apd

living monuments of the forbearance of great,
but undving examples OF the danger OF tramping
upon the liberties of free people.
The sentence finds all the prisoners guilty of
High Treason" upon the charge Of having sub
scrlbed the illegal ordinances, but, because the
Charter is silent or obscure, as TO the punishment
Ut that offence, the Court supplies the omission
BY adjudglng them TO transportation, which, be-

perpetual imprisonment within its boundary

COURT OF PEERS-TuEsDAY.
At ten o'clock exactly, the public, which con-
sisted Of very small number of persons, were
admitted.
The President and the Peers occupied their
usual places. The Commissioners of the Cham
Der OF Deputies sat at their desk. The accused
were absent, but their counsel were at the bar.
Avery small number of citizens occupied the trl-
bune. The President, in an agitated tone OF
voice, pronounced the following Judgment:
The Court Ct Peers having concluded its deli.
bera,ions; havisg considered the resolutions OF
the Chamber of Deputies, the Commissaries OF

their addresses and acquisitions, and. the accused
