Ths situation and prospects Of Belgium continued
&c ;5 6...a mSsh anxiety The Paris correspondent
hers are summoned to meet for the second tidpf o.
the 26th and that day approaches the friends OF
that country and of European peace watch the pro-
gress Of events with deep anxiety. need hardly
tell you that the prolonged mn5te ial crisis, winch
has for the last three months existed Ia Belgium,
is caused more by its external relations than by
any difficulties which its internal administration
could give rise to. The intrignes OF the French
government arc so evident, AID the difficulties TO
which they give rise great, that it is almost
impossible for the King of the Belgians to form
cabinet with any prospect OF permaaeney. p For
party got up in Belgium, aud supported with
French money. Generals in the Belgian SER
vice could be named who known to be the agents
OF France, and who intriguing to get up party
in tho Belgian army. AT the present moment French
agents are TO be found in every part OF Belgium but
more especially in the Hainaut, who openly preach
to the people the advantages which they would
derive from the annexation to Franco. The great
est alarm is felt among the Belgians themselves,
who fully expect . French invasion Here in France
the impression is universal that the day is not far
distant when an attempt will be made on that
country, notwithstanding the peaceable promises Of
Louis Napoleon Indeed, it is the general belief
that il any disturbances should break out, (and
with the means employed, nothing Is more likeyo
Louis Napoleon will attempt to occupy Belgium
with French troops, on the pretext that he
is forced to do in the interest of social order in
Europe. In alluson to this subject may as we'll
mention an anecdote for which vouch. A friend
OF mine happened two days ago to meet persO-
mage who, from being q representative OF strong
republican principles, has recently been transformed
into BOnspArtst project, with comforta BILE salary
Of $4,000 francs per annum. After short CONVEX
sation the ordinary topics Of the day, and espeoi
ally upon Belgium, the project made the following
significant remark:-"Oh, rs regards the question
Of war, treaty hope there will be mono; but one
thing certain is, that the President cannot leave
Leopold on the throne of Belgium These Orleans
people must oil be got rid of" If such are tho
sentiments propagated by the Elysee, and the pre-
feet in question is ha6ttue Of that favored resi-
depcs, / ask what confidence is to be placed in the
preservation Of peace?
Austria.
Accounts from Vienna state that the Austrian
government does not intend to recognise the title Of
Napoleon ILL., a tacit acquescence will be given
to the choice of the French people, and the forth
coming Empire, as such, will be tolerated but, on
the question Of succession and Pedigree, the North
ern powers are likely TO be more susceptible. To
the title OF Napoleon the Third would be, in
the eyes Of the Austrian government to set openly
ut defiance the treaties Of Vienna.
The discussion Of the commercial union question
is again to be transferred to Vienna and treaty
Of trade between Austria and the Southern States
will DO the main object aimed at.
The journey of the Emperor to Croatia is repre-
sented to have been less satisfactory than his tour
through Hungary. The people are miserably poor,
and an eye witness relates that they were intent
only on getting their petitions presented to the
Emperor.
The French at Tunis.
We read in the Ahkbar Two ships, detached
from our Mediterranean fleet, have been sent to re-
infOTce the Tunis station. This measure ID owing,
it is said to the uncertain state Of the health
and to tho apprehension Of complications which
might arise should his illness terminate fatally 1t
is certain that in this latter hypothesis the Otto
man Porte would not fail to repeat one of those do
monstrations which succeeded at Tripol, but which

far from sharing his ideas of progress his taste for
European institutions so that change in the person
Of the sovereign would lead to radical change Of
system. 1t is known that an almost analogous dan
ger exists in Morocco, and that the Emperor ADD
er Rahmap, who however, seems to US little enough
progressive has for presumptive heirs fanatics who
propose to withdraw the few concessions which that
sovereign has been able to make to times and cir
cumstances. These are two contingencies which
nust not be lost sight of, for they may arise ut
Eost unexpected moment
Syria.
Our correspondent writes from Malta as follows,
under date Of October 18th Affairs in Syria are
looking dark Letters from Beyrout of the 18th Of
September, announce that, in the event OF the
Druses manifestipg further opposition to the Sui
tan's ORDERS the SGraskier, who has PLACED himself
at the head Of l5 600 men, had resolved to attack
them The extreme measure would not, no wever,
be escorted to until the great caravan, loaded with
provisions for the pilgrims of Mecca had attained
position Of safety from the attacks Of the Druses
who would not hesitate to plage it If hosilitics had
commenced. At present they have retired to the
most inaccessible parts of the Haouran. In the
meantime the Seraskier has ordered several of the
Druses to his camp, and, as some have obeyed, the

India.
THE BURMESE WAR.
The British army in Brmah has moved from Ran
COON upon Prone. The London Times of the 10Th
ult. contains Geographic despatch from Trieste,
in anticipation of the overland Indian mail, to the
effect that bri gade, under the command Of Briga-
der Reynolds, G B. consisting Of Her Msesys 18th
Royal Irish, Her Msjesty's SOth regiment and the
35th regiment of native infantry, with proportion
ate force Of artillery, left RaDgoon on the 18th Sep
TENDER, in steamers, for Prone The expedition
was accompanied by Gen. Goodwin the Command

In the meantime the Burmese troops had destroy
ed Prone, and had posted themselves in masses on
height, ten miles off the town.
They were said to be only 1000 strong, with but
few guns.
! The EesIRps on Suba-Thc Intentions OF the
European Powers.
From the London Times Oct %
1t has been obvious, since the discom future OF the
| Lopez expedition against the island of Cuba, hat
/ the people Of the United States were only waiting
for opportunity to crafty the double passion o.
acquistiyeness and revenge, and that the very hrs
opportunity would be eagerly seized to inplcaSe
if possible, the American government in these
culpable designs. Upon the return of tho Amer
lean prisoners, who had received free pardon
which they had not deserved, from the clemency o
the sovereign whose dominions they had wantonlJ
| invaded, these adventarers were received with en-
thusiasm in the cities of the South, as martyrs fol
the cause Of Cuban indie pendence, and their pres
ence and baraDgues served to stimulate the pas
sions in which their lswless enterprise had origin
ated. secret society was foraed, under the
title of the 9. Lone STAR" which was the ensign
of Lopez, and this association is reported to have
its ramifcations in all parts Of the Union. We
can scarcely credit the statements which have been
transmitted to us of the power and extent of this
combination but it ia extremely disoredtabe TO
| the American people that such body should have
been formed at all for the delibsrate purpose Of
plunderiDg a foreign State and there is no act
of aggression which such example would not
justify Under these circumstances, 1t was certain
| that repetition of the attempt on Cuba would
be made, and in the meantime all means were
/ employ cd to SOW disa1ection in the island, and
l to engage the United States as a nation, ia
