HOLLAND AND BELGIUM
We conclude our abstract of Intelligence upon
TINS standing question, by inserting the following
letter from our own private correspondent in Lon.
don. The letter is dated at halfpast 7 O'Clock
z. M, Monday, Oct. 22:-
The commercial letters from Holland and Elan
ders by the mails of this morning, are only worth
notice for the entire absence of all apprehensi
which they ovDce that the Belgian question is n
bout to be settled by England and France, by a re-
course to coercive measures. The writers, from
the many previous instances of threats uttered and
Withdrawn, infer with much confidence that this

the markets Tor colonial produce generally, in both
countries, but moro particularly in Rotterdam and
In Antwerp some cagerness is manifested to bring
goods forward Tor sale, at sacrifice, rather
than risk the consequences of continuing holders
through the approaching crisis; but this is TO be
traced for the most part. to English ORDERS or 20
transactions IN which English capital is chiefly
concerned thus proving only that our merchants
who have made shipments lately, are awake TO the

may be inferred, we thiRb, from the tenor of the
private letters from Holland, shat the Government

people, in its resistance to the demands of tho AL

chimercal The Rntch funds were maintained
on Friday at near the previous prices, and it is
clear, from the tone of the letters that there would
even have been an advance in them, but that the
certainty under any view Of the pending crisis
that Holland must be largo borrower, kept prices
down.
Extract from our private Correspondent at Frank
fort, dated Oct 18th.
The Diet which now appears resolved to decide
alone upon the fate of Germany has within some
days made great strides on the way to absoluton
1t is reported in this city that it now claims tor
itself the right of making protocols and of adudi
eating on all affairs without allowing the min stcrs
OF the small powers permission as ON former occa.
sions to refer 10 their for instruction on the
topics under elaboration. Austria 81 Prussia have
thereby totally enslaved the other members and all
must obey their orders. 1t is stated in addition
that notice of this exorbitant stretch of arbitrary
power has been already given TO this court
PORTUGAL.
There seems 10 he no later news from Portu
gal. and we are in doubt amounting nearly to
sceptcism, respecting The victory Of Sa itorius.
a letter from Vigo, received in Pnris on the
| twentieth of October, dated tho 3D. 9TH and
9th, reports the arrival of Ie Migue!ite squad
ron, and after il Sartorus, who has been well
received, in consequence of an express from
the Governments with orders that both SQUAD.
rons should be treated on equal terms. Con-
sequenuy, Sartorius entered the port on the
5h, with vessels Of and steamer and
ranged them at the entrance of the port.
The Nlignelites who were to have gone out on
the 4lh, have not dared TO sail
a letter from LugO, TO the Morning Herald.
(da'e not gIveD,) which merits tho utmost con-
fideDce, states that Don MigueI's squadron had
entered into that port in The utmost distress, af
Ter an action with Sartorius's fleet.
FRANCE.
The Paris papers are filed with artcil touch
ing the Begic question, of a warlike nature
and we fiod accounts of the marciings and
counter marchiugs oftroops in such thick array,
that one might suppose the matches lighted,
and all things ready for the firing Of the first
guns. Nevertheless, we don believe that war
will ensue-certaiBy not, unless Holland is
substantially backed by the Northern powers
Marsha Gerard was yet i'll Paris on The 2Ist of
October. There is no doubt of the unwilling
ness ot some or all OF the absolute Powers con-
cerned IN the Conference, that a French army
should be allowed TO march in mid Of the Bel
gIans. lbere is, III fact, no reason to- doubt the
existence OF that uuwingness. The Auhas-
sailors of Austria and Prussia here make no
