Madrid A split in the Belgian Cabinet has threat
ened an entire change If VAN DE WEYER should
return TO London il will be difficult to fill his place
at Brussels. The difficulty, the stumbling-block o.
the Belgian Government, comes from the claims o.
the clergy on the one hand and those of the various
liberal and lay radical and philosophical schools, to
prevail in the education OF youth through all stages

You will remark what passed on the 10Th instant
i'll the British House of Lords respecting the inter
ference Of France and England in the affairs Of Rio
de la Plata Lord BEAUMONT asked official explana-
tons and passed severe structures Lord ABER-
DEEMS reply contains this paragraph:
"The people Of Buenos Ayres had evidently been msed
by the papers published III that country and by the represent
tatons of their agents They thought that the union OF Eng
land and France this matter not snceethat dis
each other and that had separate objects
Much certainly used to discussion, but they know
at least they must have found, that England and
France united in that object perfectly dsncr
esed and with other motive IN view than the establishment
of peace in those They also msed by the
unauthorized interference Of the Minister of the United States
but am happy that whatever may be the opinion OF
parties in the United States the Government has
te davowed the conduct Of their agent and has expressed
no sort of disappobaton of the policy which have
| adopted
! Some passages, however, of President PoLK's
message are an implicit animadversion on the policy
in question. Lord ABERDEEN and Mr.. GuIzoT both
ascribed their interference TO an express mission
from Brazil for the purpose of soliciting it. But
The Minister of Foreign Affairs at Rio, and Vscount
DABRANTEs, the Envoy, deny that they ever looked
to any employment of force they disclaim all re-
sponsibility for the hostiHties.
For the twelvemonth past the whole press OF
London and of British India has earnestly called
for the annexation of the Punjaub, and urged the
expediency of large army of observation on the
frontiers OF that kingdom. Forces to the number
OF thirty thousand were actually assembled; more
were ordered, and the Sikhs could not mistake the
object to be pursued when all was adequate and
ready under the COMMANDMENTS Chief and the Gov
ernor General. 1t is almost amusing now to listen
to the Times
"We find ourselves engaged in this Sikh in spite Of
the endeavors of the Government both at home
and in India 10 avoid it. We are aurcd by desire OF
conquest, and excited by ambition of 1t is stern,

| The special wrongs, the irresistible motives, the
real successes or losses of the Hindoos and the
Arabs in their conflicts with the British and French,
can never be known to the world. We may be
certain from the contrariety of the bulletins of the
belgerents in European wars, that, in the African
and the East Indian, wherein the story comes from
one side alone, numbers and disasters are uniformly

| You may recollect Mr.. O'CoNNELL's invectives
against the composition and drift of the commission
under Lord Devon, for inquiry into the relations o
Landlord and Tenant and the general condition o.
the people in Ireland In his very impressive
speech last week in the House of Commons, the
Liberator expressed himself thus
