PARIS, July 14.-Whilc the Debats and others
contradict accounts of the affairs of the West by
postscrpts of letters written in the fourth military
division, the capital of which is Tours, a town 80

ceased TO give for the sake of the public interest:

HOLLAND AND BELGIUM.
The King of Holland has given a final answer to
the acquisitions of the Conference respecting Bel
GUM He has absolutely refused to recognize the
Independence of the Belgians, any other terms
than those ofthc closing ofthe Scheldt them
the annexation of Limburg to Holland, the reten-
on of Luxembourg, and an appointment of a much
larger amount of debt to the Belgians 1t is taken
for granted that this ultnatum will be rejected by
the Conference. Indeed all accounts from Holland
now breathe immediate The King and with
him the nation, appear to consider that they have
10y this communication, thrown down the guant!et
OF defiance to the conference, and they were pre-
parlng to abide the result. Hoslilites upon petty
scale have already commenced near Macstrcht.
PORTUGAL.
On the 9Th OF July the squadron of the Elk EN-
Peror arrived off O?orto bar and came to an chor

amount of 1900, of which about 460 are English,
and the same number of French The landing was
stated to have been effected in regular and good
order, there not the sghtes. opposition Of

not near enough to fire, and suddenly wheeled

After the landing had been effected, the troops
were formed III marching order, and tho word isFor

without any opposition, as the Governor and troops
OF Don Miguel and the police, abandoned the place
and fled, (over the bridges across the Douro y to
Villa Nova, which is directly on the opposite side.
The Miguelite troops partly destroyed the bridge,
which was formed of boats, after they had passed
over, and considerably annoyed Don Pedro's force
throughout Monday, when it resolved that
landing should be effected at Villa Nova by the
small vessels protected by the guns of the steamers
&c. and 5000 of Pedro's force were landed in a
dashing manner, well under the covers of the
steamers, who plycd in their own draught of water
on the occasion. The troops of Miguel agair fled

this time most melancholy occurrence took place
in the ranks of Miguel. One of his regiments of
the line throw up their caps, and shouted si.nulta-

POLAND
WARSAW, June 2.--My former information of
the existence of revolt in part of Lithuana is
daily gaining ground. The experienced people
have made the large forest of Bialowies the abode
for their security The body of Insurgents is mostly
composed of the inhabitants of the surrounding
country, who being the constant objects of Rus
sian persecution, oppression, and doportatons TO
Siberia, saw in the revolt the only means of rescu.
ing themselves from the cruel fate impendns over
them. Among the number are many citizens of
wealth and responsibility with their families and
the peasantry OF adjoining villages The Russians
themselves do not conceal the existence of the
FACT but seem to eXaggerate much the number of
the insurgents, which they give out to be 10000
| men. 1t is not long since a whole regiment of
