ministry, on the previous night, had telling

and cheered Justify at the result.
| Lord Palmerston, in moving the amendment
said that the country was in situation liable to
war, and our peace armament was not sufficient
to meet the emergency Of war. He wanted a
ready trained force prepared for instant action.
If we could not trust the nation to defend itself
we had better give up the idea of defence, and
send for Russian and Austrian soldiers. He
was confident that the people would answer
the appeal from the government, and would be
prepared for defence.
Lord Palmerston will probably resign the
task OF forming new cabinet to protection

arrangements were made, and has only to walk

BELGIUM.
The Paris correspondent of the Morning
Chronicle writes: it will be remembered that
French agents have been sent 10 Belgium for
the purp,s sc Of seducing the army from allegi-
ance, and sowing seeds of discord and disaiIec-
ton among the people. Reports are daily sub
mitted to Louis Napoleon Of proceedings Of his
agents there. The Catholic party was, in 1881,
the principal means Of severing Belgium from
Holland. II is that same party which is now
the most active in getting up feeling in favor of
French alliance, and the clergy are almost all in
defatigable agents Of France
Belgium is adding four thousand men TO her
army, and strengthening her defences.
