ter having seen eight cases. that whether the DIS
ease now prevailing here spreads or not-whether
it may have been observed here IN other years; or
now ONLY for the first time-it is identical with
the disease of which DIR. Russell and myself saw
so much in st. Petersburgh.
have seen several marked cases since the date
of that letter, and they confirm, in the most per-
feet manner, the above statement. Indeed they
remove all doubt from every mans mind who has
seen them, as to the positive existence at this mo-
ment of the spasmotic cholera las it IS caled) 10
this town of Sunderland. The spread Of the dis
ease is, fear, increasing.
This day saw a case OF young woman IN
Monk Wearmouth, close to the river, on the left
bank. 1t was most distinctly marked. There
were many medical gentlemen Of this town pre-
sent, and they all, with one voice, declared, that
thew had never seen such disease before this
wear. Indeed | do not believe that there IS one
dissentient voice now here, as to the actual pre-
sence of the Continental Spasmodic Cholera in
this town.
The New Board of Health, comprised Of tie
Chief Magistrates and other influential and pub
lie spirited individuals, is in full operation. Sub
ordinate associations of the benevolent and veal
thy are forming, to support the Board in the adop
ton of such measures as NAV tend to ameliorate
the food. clothing, and dwellings of the poor. In
short, Sunderland is now meeting the disease
with which it is afflicted, with that courage. firm
ness, and activity, which, under such circum-
stances, always afford the best hopes of aleviat-
ing public calamity.

HOLLAND AND BELGIUM.
The King of Holland has again been invited
to accept, without alteration, the twenty four ar
tces agreed upon by the allied Ministers at Lon.
don, as the basis of the separation between Hol
land and Belgium, and has again refused, wish
ing again to negotiate according to some accounts
but according to others, having secret encourage
ment for taking this course from the great powers
of the north.
The financial condition Of the Belgian Govern.
ment, IS not very Aattering to the new monarch.
The budget for the current year has been made
up, and shows deficit Of 10000 fiorins.-
The amount required to meet the expenditures,
is &c. 600, 900. And the resources Of the present

death of the mother of King Leopold.

country was given up, we wished to employ on.

subjects to their duty; but our voice was not
heard, and Poland will owe the return Of peace
and legal order only to the victorious arms Of the
