between belgium and Holland. On this SUBJ
lject, the Paris correspondent of the Journal
du Havre, under date of the 10th, states that
the Conference in London had almost ceased
Its deliberations, finding it impossible to pro-
duce an arrangement of the question in dis
quite. Lord Palmerston, the British Minister,
however, still continues his endeavors alone,
and had transmitted to the Hague project
for the definite settlement of the different
points unadjusted. This step had not been
more successful than those which preceded it.,
and six days before, the French government
had received intelligence from their minister
at the Hague, the Marquis of Dalmatia,
that the project of Lord Palmerston had been
rejected.
The accounts from La Vendee are again
alarming. The Duchess de Berri is still there,
and the loyalist papers relate number of ro.
mantle anecdotes concerning her and her hair
breadth escapes.
At Marseiles also Carlist disturbances had
occurred, which we're not entirely settled at
the last accounts from thence.
The Swabian Mercury, under the Head of
Rhenish Bavaria, September 9th, says: 1.-THE
mania for emigration TO North America still
increases in this county.
We have just learnt that 80 persons, each
possessing a capital of from 10000 to $4,000
florlns, have agreed to make one common
stock, and proceed to America"

| courier from Madrid arrived at the Span
ISL Embassy on Sunday, with letters from
that capital to the 1 tn, and from Oporto to
the 9th inst. The army of Don Miguel was
very much discouraged, and dared not act on
the offensive: the commandment, Lopez da Rig
ma, having little confidence in the fidelity of
his soldiers, had applied to his sovereign for
relnlorcemcnts. In despatch addressed by
the Minister of the Marine, he states that un-
Less the mouth of the Douro be blocked up,
1t will be impossible for him to attack the reb-
els, whose forces are continually increasing.
Don Miguel, afraid of sending out his fleet,
as Admiral Sartorious is still cruising off the
Iagus, has sent despatch Of the General in
Chief to Madrid. This dispatch, it is said.

TO his uncle Ferdinand, by which the former

rid, that in Andalusia, Jose Ma ria's band of
duerrlllas is increasing, and that two chiefs
nave raised the standard Of liberty. 1t ap.

ny letters from Oporto we learn that the
blockade by Miguefs troops, now amounting
ln the whole to $4,000, is continued; but no
attack has been once attempted on the forces
OF Don Pedro in the city. From all accounts,
1t appears that Miguels army is any thing
rather than well disciplined and powerful,
while Pedro's army, though but $4,000 in
number, are very formidable array. Ia no
part OF Portugal does there appear to have
YET occurred any rising in favor of the cause
of Donna Maria, and we are apprebenslve
that the time is not yet arrived-the Portu.
CUES have not yet suffered sufficient CALLING
oppression, to induce them TO make stl uggle

be regretted, should it prove to be the case,
IL cannot be remedied, for it is impossible to
make apeople free who are unfit for freedom.
Even could the experiment once succeed,
, they would soon sink back again under the
iron rule of despotism.
, The Marquis of Pamela has left England,

! question for our government to interfere in
this contest, hut it will doubtless afford every

t ex-emPeror is raising troops in London with
K great success; 600 recruits have already left
r Tor OPorto, and many more are about to en-
bark. 1t was rumoured at Oporto that the
Admiral Of Don Miguel's fleet was about to
attack Sartorious, and this report, from the
: greater force of the nsurper, created some
e alarm. The superior mortal courage of the

trust, fully make up for their deficiency il

that he may ultimately succeed in his object
