There is certainly dark cloud hanging over Eu-

Holland and l}elgium-the feeling in France-and
indeed the general complexion of affairs, all tend
to convince us that for long time past there has
not been such danger of rupture as at present.
In our opinion there symptoms of war. These
may pass harmlessly by-but we fear that before
midsummer, recourse will be had to arms and il
one single blow be struck who can foresee the
great results that may follow.

understanding which exists between this
country and France, Loid Palmersten has
thought 1t necessary to express great dis
content at the occupation of Anc0na by the
French. The report in the highest circles,
is that Lord P. has sent n courier with in

London, March 9. There is not the slight.
est foundation for the report, that the Cabi-
net of the Netherlands has agreed to ratfy
the treaty of the Conference. So far from
any thing having occurred at the Hague, to
justify this report, it was even stated there,
but we think rather prematurely, that the
king had. upon the advice Of his Ministers,
repealed, in the strongest possible manner,
his determination not to ratify the treaty,
and that Count Orloff had despatched a
courier with the information to Prince
Lieven.
The language of Count Oroff, Mt the
Hague, has been decided and pacific. The
Dutch begin to open their eyes to the blind
and selfish policy of their sovereign, and 1t

THE REFORM BILL.
London, March l. ave can now state
in the most positive manner that the anti
reform Peers lo not entertain the slight
est expectation of a majority in the House
OF Lords against The Second reading of
the reform bill. A few days ago we said
that the ministerial list gave majority of
ten in favor Of that stage. That number
will be rather augmented than diminished.
I'm committee, however, the anti-reform-
ers, who are divided in opinion only as to
the propriety of resistance to the second
reading, will unite in resisting many of the
leading points. They will oppose the dis
franchissment of certain boroughs, demand
