HOLLAND AND BELGIUM.
| The interest in foreign politics has been good
deal on the decline within the last two or three
DAYS, and the few doubts which are raised re-.
specting the mode in which the Dutch question
is finally to be disposed Of excite very little at
tentiun. 1t is remarked by merchants connect.
ed with Holland, that great strcness has been OBJ.
served of late at the treasury. in regard to the
execution Of the embargo, and that exemption
| from its operation is not now allowed. in any
case without the fullest inquiry into the truth Of
the representations made for that purpose.
We understand that there previously existed
great anxiety in this respect, so much SO, that
almost any statement of liability to damage by
cargo was followed by immediate release of
the vessel; and the embargo, therefore, though
nomnaIy existing, became nearly dead letter.
Whether it was thought afterwards that the for
bearance had been one cause Of the high tone
taken by the Dutch Government, or that the
French Government had complained of so lax
an execution Of the spirit of the Convention,
which is an opinion that many in the city incline,
the embargo on Dutch vessels is now enforced
with as much risor as during any period Of its
continuance.
We have seen assigned in private letter from
Amsterdam, the personal influence which NJ.
Ouvrard the noted Spectator obtained over the
King of Holland, as one Of the causes of the ex-
traordinary obstinacy displayed by the latter in
resisting all the propositions Of the allied powers.
His intimacy and frequent access to the King dur
ing the progress OF the negotiations were notorious,
and NJ. Ouvrard, who has been all along spec
uIator for the fall in Government securities gen
erallv, conceiving that war in the Spring was
inevitable, would have little scruple probably in
intoxicating his own notions, 50 much in hatmo-
ny as they were too with those OF his Dutch Ma
jesty.
