ies.y has refused to treat on the reasonable moot
locations Of the treaty Of Nov IS. which we menn'
toned Yesterday, and which were lately Trans
mitted to the Hague, by the President o! the Jon
ference on the part Of Belgium. His Malestys
answer is at once insulting and evaslve
| inc 10 the Conference, and evasive of the ques
| tion AZ issue-dec.ning to make any ne" proPo-
st,on Of his own, and taking no notice OF tue P'o-
positions made on the other side. !.
This extraordinary answer Was yesterday de-
livered to the Conference specially convened 10
deliberate upon its nature and contents. VI
course, it cannot be imagi lined that any mat de-
cision was adopted on so monentous su19eC, u, !"

conference is to meet again to-day, but every rea'
sonabe man must now see that all hope OF Dring'
ing his Dutch Majesty to his senses by protocols
and peaceful representations must be abandoned
He ia evidently determined to come to no ar
rangement without being compelled by superior
force, He Is evidently resolved to employ every
subterfnse, Ito practice every stratagem to gain
time. His mind seems to be made up TO take
advantage Of the chapter OF accidents, ra-
Their to hazard the chance of war. to recover
the whole Of his former dominions, than to agree
! to teens Of accommodation, by which he may en-
ioy part Of them in security and peace.
The Conference which has been so grossly Ia
| suited, cannot permit this insiduous game 20
be pursued any further. II is evidently the
interest Of Austria and Prussia that Belsic affairs
should he settled: and itisno less the interest
than the duty Of France and England to become
| the instruments Of such a salutary work. His
Dutch Majesty can place his only reliance on the
infapou. Government Of Russia, which, DESTROYS
of embroilng Western Europe, that it may per-
petrate unmolesed all its intended barbarilies in
| Poland, has no doubt encouraged his Dutch Ma.
| iesty in his dangerous course.
The Conference can no longer tribe with the
peace Of Europe and the rights Of Belgium. II
thew have appointed themselves umplres. they
must enforce their award. Alter inducing the
new King of Belgium to descend from the lofty
POSITION which he occupied on treaty ratified
by all their Courts, and become the public law OF
Europe-after leading him to believe that the re-
served points of difference between him and his
neishbors might be arranged by mutual conces'
slons-after thus extracting from him some rea'
sonable proposals Of notifications in the treaty
after making him thus break through the assur'
ance which he had given his Chambers, that he
would never negotiate with an enemy IN MS Ter
ritory-they have exposed his Beig'c Majesty TO
the dangerous chances of popularity. without se-
curing any Of the advantages of peace, He is
now, perhaps without Cab,net-e%posed 10 the
attacks of the press. to the circumstances OF the
Legislature, and even TO the suspicious OF the
more charitable and loyal portnn Of his subjects.
His allies are bound TO replace him in the sItua-
ton which he would have occupied had he not

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.
LONDON, Sept % -(Evenins. AN express
from Paris has arrived to-day with the letters OF
! Thursday. and every thing indicates tina, France
is perfectly ready TO second the decision OF the
Conference by a movement against Holland,
should that step be deemed advisable. Troops
are collected Oh the frontier next Belgium, and
) cou!d, it is conceived, be in Brussels in very
short time The Duke of Orleans has left Paris
for Brussels. in order, as il is supposed, to con-
vny to Leopold the opinions Of the French Minis,
!, try, and to explain the course which is intended
to be pursued in the event ct the King of Hol-
land proving refractory. The late communica-
ton from the Hague, which was laid before the
London Conference yesterday, was not known
in Paris, but every expectation existed that it
would turn out as unsatisfactory as has really
proved to be the case. II is perfectly under
stood, however. that the French troops will not
move without the concurrence of the English mi
nstry. The cooperation Of England, By send
ing feet into the Schetdt is desired by France,
but, failing that, the consent OF the ministry to
the march Of the French troops into Belgium,
will be deemed sufficient. The funds fell about
one per cent in Paris, on Thursday, in conse-
quence Of the feeling, that an interference in be-
. half Of Belgium had become all but inevitable.
, LONDON, Sept, 90 Change in the Belgian
, Ministry. espatcbes have been received BY
NJ. Van de Weyer the Belgian Minister, from
General Goblet, announcing the retirement Of
t Nj. lie Meulinare. the Belgian Minister Of FL.
reign Affairs. and the appointment Of General
, Goblet to that post all interim. An entire
change of the Belgian Ministry is announced,
but it is not officially stated who are to replace
them. NJ. Van Weyer has received from Gene
raj Goblet full powers to treat with the Dutch
Minister. Baron Won Zuylen. on the dispute be
tween Holland and Belgium; but up to the pre-
sent time Baron Won Zuy len has received no pc W.
ers from his Court to treat with NJ. Van de
Weyer on the subject; and it remains to be
/ seen whether the King Of Holland will consent
to such mode Of proceeding, taking for the
basis Of il the recommendations OF the Confer
