HOLLAND AND BELGIUM
While some of the papers that the king Of Bel
pium will not sign the "a articles and that France has
orja nf.3 m 10 Belgian
in the Bristol Journal contends that the diff
fculty is settled by the Representatives Of the FIVE
powers at the conference Of London The final docu-
ment is not however even ye, ratified by the Belgian
monarch If he refuse, his territory will be invested by
sea and land, until he submit. II is not likely that
with his comparatively small power therefore, that he
will hold out, Such obstinacy would be ridiculous.
RUSSIA
II is now conceded in some Of the English papers
that Russia has sent agents Of the ports of Great
Britain with the object Of purchasing ships and other
large vessels Some of the tory journals having taken
exception to this the part of the Emperor,
the Gateshead Observer offers this explanation:
The ships destined for the conveyance of troops
the Of Circassia, with which country well
known Russia is carrying on an nglorous and unsuc-
cessfu warfare Last winter the Russians lost less
than IA transports, rgate, and steam vessel in
the Black Sea; and we understand that communca-
ton which has taken place between the Mayor Of New
castle and the government, the subject Of the Rus
sian purchases, describes the ships in question in
tended replace the losses year acting against
the Crcassians Assuredly we have little pleasure
the efforts making by Russia to crush gallant
people, struggling for independence but Russia would
have difficulty procuring transports from American
or other maratme nations if they not purchased
IN England. At trifing expense the Car
might easily make up his compliment Of shipping from
other than dock yards and it is probable
that, after the successful mischief Of the Journal he will
do so in regard TO future purchases.
To those persons who have been misled by the gno-
rant voceratons Of such monitors the Journal in
regard to the condition Of British shipping it must ap-
pear astounding that foreign government to which
every market Of the world freely opened, and which
would naturally the cheapest, should come to
this country TO purchase ships. They have been
snred usguc ad nenseam, that the shipping trade Of
England was rre,rievsbly ruined BY the policy Of Mr.
Huskisson-that it now impossible for us to com
pete with the superior facilities Of foreign nations yet
they foreign government coming TO England to pur
chase ships they will read in the Liverpool papers Of
last week that the banks of the Mersey, ship build
ing is going on to extent and with an activity
known 10 any previous period and il they make IN
quries at Sunderland, they will be told that the unpara
leled number Of ia new ships the stocks,
We say that the Yahoos Of the Journal, and Mr. G. r
Young, and Mr.. Boatswain Richmond, must therefore
admit that they have all along been insisting on
fearful and dsgraceful error they bound TO ex
plain such remarkable phenomena.
