pectrd between Belgium and Russia The En-
p"r"r Nicholas, it is said will send Mniste
Plcnipo,en'iary to Brussels, and consent t. ;
treaty of commerce with Belgium The dis
missal of the Polish officers is a preliminary O
these arrangements.
The King Of the Belgiums has bestowed q
diplomatic mission the Prince de Ligne tc
proceed to the courts Of Berlin and Vienna, in
order to negotiate the support of the powers
against all aggressons the part Of France
London letter, of Gath February, goes
further than the above, (but is perhaps too fast ),
and SAYS;
"Belgium is making vast military prepare
tons, and il is reported that a convention has
been concluded between Belgium and Russi;,.
whereby the latter engages To furnish 100, 0GU
men for the defence of the Belgian territory, in
case 1t should be invaded, or seriously meiiaced
by France. Prussia also promises assistance
to similar extent, and Holland has agreed t.,
furnish a contingent of 3O,0u0 men. Hopes
are entertained that England, as one of The
European powers guaranteeing the indcppnd
ence of Belgium, will co operate with Get in
the Sche!dt and a garrison for the citadel o.
Antwerp. The Belgian army numbers, 90 GOO
men, of whom 10000 would take the field, and
the remainder would occupy the fortress The
whole combined force would amount to 100000
men, which would be quite sufficient to repeI
the threatened invasion by France"
The Paris correspondent of the Morning
Chronicle goes still further, and states that
dispatch had been sent to the French Govern
ment by Great Britain, TO the effect that, in the
event of single French soldier entering the
Belgium Territory, the city Of Antwerp, with
its citadel and the ports on the Scheldt, would
at once be occupied by an army of $4,000 =
This English occupation would be accomplished
by the express sanction and concurrence of all
the great powers of Europe including Russia

Merchant Vessels have been delivering goods
in the ports of Oregon, without paying the Gus

Aud from more recent intelligence, it would
seem, that either failure part of the Reve-
aae officers Of the government IN Oregon, to
enforce the collection Of these dues, or an erro-

because such officers, failed to collect duties in
Oregon, that therefore it was unimportant

THE CANDIDATEFoR DIsrRICTJUDcE IN THE
IST DISTRICT

We find the name Of James Child, former
editor Of the State Gazette. before the demo-
crazy of the lst Judicial District of this State,
for District Judge. We have not the pleasure
Of personal acquain,ance with Mr. Child .
but from the testimony which his numerous
friends bear to his high character as a man and
Lawyer, and the enviable reputation he has
acquired a sound aud able writer, we feel
pursuadcd that the democracy of the lst Dis
riot, have done well to offer him position,
where he can do better justice to himself, avoid
the violence of party strife and dispense with
a bouniiful yet careful hand, the claims of i'm
partial justice.
We sincerely hope that MIR. Child may be
elected, and if the democracy of the Ist Dis
trct does It's duty thoroughly, we shall expect
soon 10 hear. that he is The District Judge.
