The ship sias Richards, Capt Holdrige, from
Liverpool, IL arrived below. She left Liverpool on
the oath Sept and has brought dates from that
place Of the oath, and from London Of the 23d.

DEATH OF FERDINAND OF SPAIN.
London, Saturday Evening, Sept 22.--Intelli.
gence has been received through France to-day OF
the death Of the King of Spain, which there is no
reason for doubling, though some persons have de-
clared themselves ncrcdulous on the subject. His
health has been declining for sometime past, and
he has lately had severe attack Of the govt. This
news II confirmed, is expected to hasten the ap-
proach Of the crisis in Spain.
From ths San, evening Of Sept. 49,
The expectations which were entertained by the
conference Of speedy and satisfactory arrange
ment Of the Belgian question ale at an end. On
Thursday evening sealed note from the King Of
Holland TO the conference, was given 10 lord Palm
erston by the Dutch Ambassador Baron Ven .2aiyl
len and l~st nisht tho members of the conference
having all assembled, the note was openedand read
by them. Instead of finding, as they had expect
ed, an acknowledgment of the readiness ofihe king
the recommendations Of the conference, and an ap-
pointment Of Baron Won Zuylen with full powers
to treat with M. Van de Weyer, the conference, to
their establishment, and 10 the real indignation Of
some, as well as the avowed indignation of all,
found a long note without the slightest allusion 10
the proposal of negotiations between M. Van Weyer
d BaronVon Zuylen, or to the suggestions of the
conference.
The note commences by an expression of sur.
nFia nm Tho orf a fho IL al
in the name Of the king, his master, at the delay
which was attended the Belgian question since the
conditions on which the king was willing to treat
had been made known to the conference and to the
Belgians, and then proceeds in language which is
intended TO be courteous, but which is not to be
misunderstood, TO complain Of the support given by
the conference to revolutionary principles, and 10
declare that, whatever may be the conduct of The
great powers, the king Of Holland relying on the
justice of his cause, and on the support of Divine
Providence, will know how to maintain his honor,
without the necessity of conccding points which.
are Of vital Importance TO his country.
The position Of Leopold is now one of great diff
iculy; but, as regards his country and France, it
is better than il was a few days ago. BY taking
uponhimself to accept the proposals of the confer
ence, contrary to the declared wishes Of his cham
bers, and to dismiss ministry acting in accordance
with those bodies, he has shown his desire for
the British and French cabinets. The king of
Holland has rejected all oyertures for peace, ex-
|cept on his own terms and if Belgium be abandon
ed by and France, after the concessions ohered
by her king. at the Iisk of his popularity with
his people, the two governments will be guilty not
only Of great meanness, but of great injustice and
the next thing to be expected will be dctaton to
England and France, on matters directly concern
ing their own honour and safety, by some petty
state, acting as the puppet Of Russia, Austria or
Prussia.
From the London Times Of Sept.
We have learned with regret, not unmixed with
establishment and indignation that His Dutch Ma
jesty has refused TO treat on the reasonable mod
ifcations Of the treaty of November Is, which we
mentioned yesterday, and which were lately trans
mitted to the Hague by the president of the Con.
ference on the part of Belgium. HIS Majesty'sl
answer is at once insulting and cvasive--insuting
to the Conference, and eyasiye of the question at
issue-declining TO make any new proposition cfl
his own, and taking no notice Of the propositions
made on the other side.
CHANGE IN THE BELGIAN MINISTRY.
LONDON Sept 2I.--Despatches have been re-
ceived by M. Van de Weyer, the Belgian minister,
from General Goblet, announcing the retirement
of M. de Meulinaire. the Belgian Minister for
Foreign Affairs, and the appointment Of Gen. Cob,
let to that post and interim. An entire change of
yet officially stated who arc to replace them. M.
Van de Weyer has received from General Goblet
full powers to treat with the Dutch minister, Baron
Won Zuylen, on the dispute between Holland and
Belgium, but up TO the present time, Baron Won
Zuylen has received no power from his count to
treat with nj. Van de Weyer on the subject aud
it remains to be seen whether the KING Of Holland
will consent TO such mode of proceeding, taking
for the basis Of il the recommendations of the Com
ference.
DON PEDRO'S EXPEDITION.

Inducements to aid the cause Of Don Pedro were
