HOLLAND AND BELGIUM
Since the return of Prince Talleyrand to
| London, the Conference has not assembled
The affairs of Holland and Belgium are so con
fused, that it cannot be known whether coer-
| Give measures viii not be deinitivey resorled
to; but, in the mean time, precautions are TAX
en- 10 be ready TO act in case the Conference
should permit But how can it be supposed
tina, the fleet will be sent TO blockade the Dutch
ports in November, when vessels can hardly
keep at sea on the Coast at that season
=. The following is an extract from the speech
of the King of Holland at the opening of the
States General:
High and Mighty Lords During the last
months ofthe session lately finished, | frequent
ly INDUCED the hope Of being able at the open
ing of this session, te announce tn you the ter
animation of that state of uneaslness in which
for two years our country has been placed by
reason of the Belgian Revolution NV hopes
I have net been wholly realized the long amity
which Holland has manifested, and the sacri-
fees | have imposed upon myself, Instead &C
conducting 10 a reasonable solution Of our diff.
cubies, have only served to increase the exac.
tons attempted TO be forced US.
I Inc communications, which by nav order
4 VIII be submitted to you, touching the state of
the negotiations, will convince Won that the
condeseention evinced by US has reached lis
iarthest limits, those indicated by The honor
the independence and the safety of The nation
Meanwhile it is agreeable To me 10 have it in
my power 10 announce TO you H. and NJ L..
that have received from foreign powers re.
newed marks of their interest. 1t is not less
interes ting for me in this state of things to be
| aole To give those powers the assurance that
Ihe means OF defence organized along our from
tiers are in the most satisfactory condition and
that oar sea and land forces deserve the biub
est communication for their discipline the war
IKE ardor and their fidelity and thus fully
answer 20 the constant care and attention we
have be slowed on them.
-" II, CONTRARY to all expectation. the interests
of our country, High and Mighty Lords, should
require great display of force, possess at
tins nc oment all the means necessary Cor such
an exigency, and have the fullest confidence of
The as sent OF the nation 10 their being employ

Brussels. Oct. 10. The speech of the KIM
occupies all minds, and very seriously those Of
Ministers. 1t can no longer be doubted, that the
system OF paclfcation, by means of the Confer.
ence, is at an end, and other means must be
employed. Accordingly, Leopold has frequent
~ since Yesterday, sent orders to the Minister
"f War. Several couriers have arrived at M La.
tour lubourg sand several have been despatch
ed BY him TO PARIS. Gen. Dcsprez said this morn

dlateiy. To-day at Brussels many persons on
change announce, that as Of yesterday proc
lamation 10 the inhabitants of Antwerp was
prepared by the General calling upon them 10
provide places of safety for their vaIuahles but
mat The municipal authorities prevailed upon
the GENERAL TO grant a delay of twenty.Iour
hours In issuing his proc lamatIon, in order that
me result OF deputaton despatched to the

the twenty'fOur hours declaring however, thai
at the expiration thereof he would be obliged
to carry into effect the royal order The Ant
weFPers desire the liberty of the Scheldt and
me evacuation OF their citadel; yet whenever
there is purpose of obtaining them at The
lannon's mouth, they surround the King. and
beg Tor the continuation of The s,atu quo Yet
the country must be extrlcated from this EN-.
barrassing position.
The Frusslan Consul at Antwerp has receiv
ed notice from his government, that the Pms.
sian troops were about to march for the Rel-

There has been an abunda nee frumors dnr.
