terdsy, with Portsmouth dates otthe 9Th, and
London OF the afternoon Of the 5th. The
ship Tally-Ifo, from Liverpool, was also
boarded yesterday, (says the Courier and In
uuifer.) by our News Collector, and we are
indebted 10 capt. Fisher, of that vessel, for
liverpool dates Of the eth.
These arrivals add but little to the politi
cal intelligence IN our possession. The dates
from France are net yet as late as those al
ready received. The last London papers
conta;n the items which follow on the subject
OF Belgium and Dutch affairs, and we hna
nothing more in them of any interest, unless
It be the melancholy account OF the state oil
the health Of young Napoleon.

London, May 5-The members of The
Conference, accompanied by NJ Van de
Viewer. the Belgian minister, assembled last
night. at the Foreign Office, at a little before
ten O'Clock, for the purpose of exchanging
ratificatious with the PlenipotuftisFy Of the
Emperor OF Russia. Considerable time was
taken up in preliminary discussion, and in

with the Belgian treaty. II was past one
O'Clock this morning when the exchange was
concluded. We have reason TO believe that
me interchange was considered satisfactory
by Lord Palmerston and Prince Taileyrand,
to whose unwearied excrtioBs and determin-
ed conduct, we are indebted for the progress
that has been made IN this difficult affair.
The ratification Of the Russian Emperor,
rs, indeed, expressed IN terms friendly TO Hol
land, and strongly recommends that several
notifications of the treaty should I've agreed
to, between Belgium and Holland. The
whole spirit of it also IS opposed TO the adop
ton of %coerciye measures. but there is moth
ing in it TO justify a belief that the Emperor
OF Russia would sanction any act on the part
OF the King of Holland, which would be con
sIdeIcd by the Conference as contrary to
their view OF the Belgian treaty.
Thus far every thing may be considered
satisfactory, but we are sorry 20 learn thai
the King of Holland has not been induced to
alter his tone by the fact OF The Russian En-
peror having become a direct party to the
treaty. II IS not expected, indeed, that the
Dutch will actual hostiities, but
IT is feared they will refuse TO comply with
the ln]nnctions of the Conference, and thus
bring the Conference to the embarrassing al
tentative oil either asserting TO The treaty re
naming a dead letter, or Of carrying its stipu
lations into effect by force. The question OF
Antwerp, which is one of pressing impor
lance, must however, soon cnlighten us as 10
the intentions of the Butch Monarch, and
the consequent policy OF the Conference.
We regret exceedingly 10 learn, by recent
accounts from Vienna, that the Duke de
Reichstadst, the son of Napoleon, who bad
been for some time past in a declining state
oil health, Is now considered in almost a hope
less state. His complaint is said to resemble
that OF his father, and TO have been brought
On thus prematureiy by too much coniine-
ment and the disappointment of noble mind,
in.which there is Il great deal oC ambition.
she Emperor of Austria, who is tenderly at
fached TO this young Prince, is said to be Sc
vcrely affected by his i'll state of health.
London, May 1.-The Russian ratification
oil The Belgian treaty, weunderstand, was to
have been exchanged last night. The Dutch
papers, which have been received to the I'd
inst throw no direct light upon the subject,
otherwise than as the evidence. by the unre-
hitting preparations for war, the still unsha.
ken obstinacy of the King not to give in his
adhesion to the treaty. The head quarters
OF the troops are now very close to the boun
dairy line; and such appears on both sides to
be the martial susceptibility, that a very little
provocatIon indeed would, it should seem
light up the flames Of actual war. Both com
o~atants, too, have had the advantage of lei
sure Tor preparation, and both seem equally.
confident of the result.
