then, as in all the difficult questions which have
disturbed for a whole year the peace OF Eus

has extinguished the germs OF collision with

interests of all Europe. Every thing promises
an easy victory TO Don Pedro; and no doubt,

GREECE.
Prince Ohio, of Bavaria, is, we understand, to
have the Throne of Greece, notwithstanding SO
many reports TO the contrary. The arrangement
respecting an augmentation Of the territory ct the
new King, we have reason to believe, has been
nearly brought to a conclusion. and SIR Strauord
Canning. the representative OF England during
this important negotiation, is likely to return 10
London in July. Sir Stratford Canning and his
friends were received by the Sultan with great
kindness, but very little State ceremony. Inc
Sultan was dressed in an olive frock coat, with
out any other ornament or decoration, except a
brilliant star on his left breast. He did not even
wear a tnrban, that ancient appendage of dress
not being now adopted by the highest in rank IN
the Turkish Empire. Coffee was served to the
whole party by the attendants, after the manner
of the English. The Sultan was extremely Tree,
lively and communicative in his conversation
during the time the Ambassadors and his suite
were IN the Royal presence.

The Belgian Question The Belgian treaty
has at length been ratified by the Emperor Of Rus

contain all that has yet transpired on the subject:
"We stated Yesterday that the Russian %rat'flca-

We now understand that the only obstacle to the
immediate exchange of it il the absence OF Lord

We have reason 10 believe that the Emperor
Nicholas, expresses a strong hope that the ques-

amicable treaty between Holland and Belgium.

We stated yesterday. that the ratification OF
the Emperor Of Russia was unaccompanled by
reservations greater than those Of Austria and
Prussia. This is the fact, as to actual reserva-
