The marriage of Leopold, the lately elected
king of Belgium with the daughter Of Louis
Philippe. the late elected king ofthe French,
was celebrated on the eth Of August. There
are circumstances combined with this event,
which seem to render it matter Of some ia.

more Immediately concerned. The King Of
Belgium is u protestant. He has been cho-
sen as the Sovereign Of Catholic country,
but this was NOT attended, as far as we have
ever seen. with any change Of his religion
The betrothed Queen is Of a Catholic family.
1t is true, since the former French revolution.
the French nation have become far less rigid
10 their notions of religious faith, than they
previously were; and since the late revolution,
great advances have been made towards a
system Of free toleration. This change 10
the policy of the nation. has probably had its
effect upon the new sovereign, as well as up
on the people at large and this may furnish
the reason why protestant prince has been
permitted to connect himself with the reign
ing family.
This marriage will attach the Belgians
more closely to France, and lead them 10 all
time Of difficulty and danger, to look to their
powerful neighbor for succ0r and support
Belgium has always hung upon the skirts of
France: and in all probability, If it had not
been for the peremptOry refusal on the part
of the latter, she would have thrown herself
into her arms, and become part of the ma.
ton. Should new difficulties arise, and fresh
dangers threaten Belgian Independence, we
shall be much disappointed in our sxpecta.

find it good policy to support him on his
throne, u take him into bis especial care and
keeping.
But the King Of Belgium has also been once
nearly connected with the Royal Family Of
Great Britain, and probably it was in a great
nleasure owing to British influence, that he
was selected for the Belgian crown. This
gives him strong claim upon the support Of
that nation, as well as upon France. Under
these circumstances, strong as Russia, Aus
tria and Prussia are, and weak as Belgium is.
we have very little doubt that Leopold will
be defended 10 his newly acquired dlignities,
let who may attack.-N. Y. Daily Advertiser.
The London Spectator in speaking of the
death Of the son Of Napoleon, says-lf ever
child was born TO point moral and no more,
1t was the poor lad just dead. The last weak
offspring in spite Of all history. Napoleon
had faith in his son nay more. he ruined
himself for offspring. He was ia ship at
full sail. and threw out his ballast. His sep
aration from Josephine was fatal: his seeking
after an alliance with the old preiudices Of
Europe, drew down upon him the new tenn
pie he reared to Military Aristocracy. The
results Of his fatal mistake are to be- found at
St. Helena and the new vault of the poor
Duke de Reichstadt.
THE TREASURY NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
The time was when an official document.
emanating from one Of the departments of the
Government, was entitled Ia, and received
the confidence Of the people. But 1t becomes
our duty to admit, and it Is with modification
and shame that we do SO, that official state
ments. as such, are no longer worthy of credit.
We do not refer to the numerous errors,
committed by the Treasury Department dur.
Ing the last session Of Congress, which have
been from time 10 time detected, and admit
ted TO be errors; but we charge that the Pres
ident Of the United States submitted to Con-
gress, 10 an official report. false estimate of
