Belgium, aud the course the negotiations have ia
KEN. The controversy is yet unsettled, but the
prospects Of its termination are more promising
apparently, than they were last spring. The
Kings speech was follow we'd by historical sketch
of the course of the negotiations during the last
wear, by the Dutch Minister Of Foreign Affairs.
By a convention Of May last between the Neither
lands and France and Great Britain, the Courts
OF Austria, Prussia and Russia were invited to
co operate. Ministers were sent to London by
Holand-various propositions were presented
and after some weeks Of discussion. as the Minis.
ter very nnocently says" The negotiation was
naturally at the point at which it had been dis
continued" Afterwards
1.-THE government purposely gave the prefer
ence to the very impartial project proposed at the
time by Austria, Prussia, and Russia. its obvious
tendency being to reconcile the different opinions

had been expressed to give in estimates. the Gov-
ernment considered that no more unamhiguous
pledge could be given Of its spirit OF concession

observations calculated to throw light on the
