 "The passions excited by the Dutch Government among its subjects against the Relgians and the French have just occasioned most unfortunate event. and one which may have serious eonse- qaences. We allude to an act of pub lie violence committed at Rotterdam against the Consul of France, who was torn from his carriage and threatened with being flung into the water.
 "The following account of the fact is given in the Independent of Brussels.
 ''M. Laurence, Consul of his Majesty the King of the French, at Rotterdam, escaped few days ago, becoming the victim of popular hatred. M. Lau- renee, accompanied by his wife, was passing one of the streets of the city in his carriage when upon reaching bridge near the harbor, his carriage was stopped by several individuals, two of whom. well dressed and speaking the French, uttered thousand impreea- tions against France and its government and threatened 10 throw the Consul in- 10 the water. Upon the inquiry of N. Laurence, whether they knew to whom they were speaking, they replied: 'Yes; we know you perfectly. You are the Envoy of Republicans, of Jacobias of Paris. We have no wish for you. To the water! To the waterl The Envoy of the King of Jacobinsr
 "They then seized M. Laurence, l dragged him from his carriage, and were l about to throw him into the water, but for the cries of his wife, which attract ed other more humane inhabitants, who put the assailants to flight.
 M. Laurence on reaching his house, hastened to address detailed report Of this occurrence to the French Am- bassador at the Hague. The Dutch Government did all in its power 10 hush uP tic affair and keep ii secret.
 Spain.-A Madrid paragraph oi March ,, says there are constant ap. l prehensions of assertion to Don Pedro from the Spanish army. On account of this, only the troops most to be trust ed are sent to the frontiers. On the frontiers of Portugal there are now 2S, 900 men besides the lS,0e0 in Guiqu- geo, i3,0tO in Catalonia, and l5,000 in Burgos and Yalladolid.
 Holland.-Count Orlof had not yet left the Hague for London. The King of Holland, so far from having agreed to ratify the treaty of conference, has again repeated in the strongest manner, 'his determination not to ratify it. The language of Count Orloff is said 10 have been decided, and pacific. He was waiting at the Hague for despatch- es. Even the Prince of Orange is said to have remonstrated with his father son the ,imprudence of the course he is pursuing, which may involve him in a long and ruinous war, resulting in no possible advantage.
 Paris, aiarch I6.-News from Hun. gary speaks of the people having deter mined to render themselves independ- ent of the Austrian Government, by forming a Government of their own, under scion of the Austrian family, ! ti~ c,a..-. 1f.xx.--
