nit the Belgian traffic BY the commercial roaas
which conduct through his territory Ut Llmoourg
to Germany.
These four fundamental points being agreed
to, the minor matters will follow as matter OF
course. Perhaps national vanity will be Halter
Ell by giving up respectively to each other, TO
she that they have had some will in the matter.
The Capitalization of the national debt, forming
the capital Of eight or nine millions OF annual
payment to be made agreeable to the Conference
to Holland, when peace is estaoiished VIII ioi'

and English capitalists.
The 6oint contention hitherto existing, viz. the
evacuation Of the citadel Of Antwerp. and which
involved what each party considered personal
affair. follows as matter of course, Immediately
on the treaty Of peace being exchanged. We
are happy to learn that the manufactures OF
Client begin to revive, and the inhabitants look
forward to the beneficial consequences this city
will derive BY communicating direct with the
North Sea, by the famous canal which joins the
ScheIdt at Terneuse, only finished few months
before the breaking out of the Revolution in Au'
gust, 1880. (Ths canal is abnut 90 miles in
length, and passes through part OF Dutch Elan
ders. but, like all other canals. by the treaty, IS
to be common to both nations; it has IA or 10
feet Of water. and several American ships in the
summer of 1880 arrived direct from America
with cargoes Of cotton for the supply Of the ia
brics OF Ghent.)
Our readers will Judge Of the great conse.
quences to the commerce OF England by having
such direct communication with Client, and from
thence by canals aud rivers to the heart OF Bel
GUM and to the frontiers of France. The Client
merchants speak confidently Of having rail road
from that city TO Brussels. The country IS re-
markably well adapted for such an undertaking,
and the distance only about twenty live miles,
! here has always existed a spirit OF commercial
jealousy between Antwerp and Client, which It
seems these projects will not diminish. The
iron manufacturers and coal mine owners at Llege
and Nanur. who have suffered dreadfully the
last two years, are delighted at the opening oil
the Meuse. and rene wing their former traffic with
Holland, and finding in that country debouche
for Their articles; in short, the prospect is most
cheering for both parties. and we trust that mu-
tuaI self.nterest will soon obiterate the unkind
feelings generated By the events Of the last two
years.
