REJECTION OF THE U~LTIMATUM OF THE LONDON
CONFERENCE.
London, Sept. 22.-Ve,y little excitement has been
produced in the money market by the confirmation of tho
rumors respecting the note OF the King OF Holland, though
Ia Tact 10 the general apprehension, il makes the alterna-
tive oil a wara all but inevitable. This is owing, probably,
TO the very contracted state of business and the almost TO-
tai extinction of speculative transactions in the lunds.
Had similar circumstances occurred year or two back,
they could not have failed to produce very material nuc-
tuauons. Consols left OF atSi is, and E~xchcqucr Bills at

The expectations which were entertained by the Con-
ference OF a speedy and satisfactory arrangement OF the Bel
gian question are at an end. On Thursday evening, a
sealed note, from the King of Holland TO the Conference,
was given TO Lord Palmerston by the Dutch Ambassador.
Baron Won Zuylen; and last night the members of the
Conference having all assembled, the note was opened and
read by them. Instead OF finding, as they had expected,
an acknowledgment of the readiness of the King Of Hol-
land TO treat with the King of Belgium, on the recommen-
cations oil the conference, and an appointment Of Baron
Won Luylen with full powers TO treat with NJ. Van do
"eyer, the Conference to their ast%oDishment, and 10 the
treal Indignation OF some, as well as the avowcd inGigna-
ZION oil all, iound a long note without the slightest allusion
to the proposal of negotiations between NJ. Van de Viewer
and Baron Won Zuylen, or to the suggestions Of the Con-
ference.
The note ommences by an expression of surprise OH

hIng, ms master, at the delay which has attended the Bel
gan question since the conditions on which the King was
willing TO treat had been made known to the Conference
and 10 the Belgians, and then proceeds, in language which

stood, TO complain of the support given by the Conference
10 revolutionary principles, and to declare that, whatever
may be the conduct Of the great powers, the King of Hol.
land, relying on the justice. of his cause, and on the sup
port oil Divine Providence, will know how to maintain his
honor without the necessity Of conceding points which are
oil vital importance 10 his country.
The note - oil great Tenth, but we have given its Chief
character 1t is evidently intended only for farther delay;
and, unless France and England should take a decisive and
manly part, that object will be gained. Let us hope, how
ever, that the two cabinets will see their interest, and unite
