The elements of war are again on the meve.-
| There seems to be no wayiat present of avoiding
| an open rupture between France and Belgium, in
which case the battle of Waterloo would have to
be fought over again on Flemish ground; Tor no
one doubts that England would assist Belgium IN
her troubles. The act of the French Government
| in striking heavy blow at Belgian prosperity by
laying such heavy duty on Goals and cast-ron IN
troduced into France, just at time when treaty
| of commerce was in allegiance, and angry feelings
already aroused, could not certainly be regarded IN
any other light than as throwing down the glove
| for contest. The French government undoubt-
eddy has the right to lay as heavy tariff for the
protection of her subjects in the same pursuits,
| and for the accumulation of revenue, winch she
much needs, us she pleases; but when that act su-
pervenes upon supposed insults offered by the Bel
| gian to the French government, looks more like
an act Of retaliation than one Tor the protection OF
domestic interests and may be regarded as an IN
| territorial provocatlon to ultimate measures. Bel
| GUM is the freest government in all Europe; her
people are the happiest and most prosperous; she
turns out the largest amount OF manufactured pro-
ducts to the number of her inhabitants OF any 9TH
er people, her people, her cities, her towns and her
farms look the cleanest the neatest the most cheer
full, and the most prosperous; and, although "only
a patch upon the earih's surface" when compared
to France, she exports annually to the latter coun-
Try III millions of francs, whereas France exports
| 10 Belgium only to the amount OF l34 millions.
There are four principal causes which have ac-
| tuated Louis Napoleon in the menacing attitude
which he has assumed towards Belgium, winch
will briefly enumcrate. The first unquestlonabiy
Is the course of Belgium in giving refuge to poiti-
cal offenders against the dignity of the government
of France; in allowing those persons unlimited lib
ertyi in the propagation of doctrines niical to the
interests of the reigning dynasty in France, and IN
its perSsting in the refusal either to punish, adj
monish, deliver up, expelthose persons from Bel
gian territory. Foremost among these offensive
persons was NJ. Victor Hugo, who was not only SUI
fered to remain and publish his structures on the
French President contrary to the repeated protes-
tations of the President, but who was feated and
coured by the Belgian Ministers, and opportuni-
ties afforded by which France has been flooded
| with the productions of his pen. For, notwlth-
standing the severe penalty visited upon all persons
found with copies OF his works III Their possession,
it is stated in Brussels that lao, 600 copies of the
book entitled Napoleon le-Peht have heen dis
tributed in France saw one copy in the pos
| session Of an American gentleman which had been
often perused that the letters were scarcely dis
| tingushable. The second reason is the refusal Of
| the Belgian government to allow the further en-
croachments of the Catholic religon-a matter, it
seems, as dear to Louis Napoleon as his own inter-
csts. The third is that the enormous expense
which France is incurrng in the support Of her
| standing army, in the building OF public works,
the extravaganza of the government, and her
tended system Of espionage imperatively demands
that every source should be rendered available, to
supply the rapidly exhausting Golfers OF the treasu-
~. The fourth principal reason is that France feels
Jealous of the prosperity of her weaker neighbor,
| who was growing rich at her expense.
| The difficulties remain unsettled. The belgian
Ministers are leaving thei1 hotels, and nothing new
las transpired towards the re constitution OF new
| Cabinet NJ. Fiere Orbah, the late Minister OF FL
nance, is now in this city with his family, on his
way to Italy to spend the winter. The Legislature
| stands adj ourned until new Ministry can be 1orm-
ed. The French government is on its itinerating
electioneering tour yet, and 1t Will probably be
some time before the affair Is amcably settled, II
settled at all. ELe
