BELGIAN NEUTRALITY.
The tone in official journals is rather
too Indifferent about protecting Belgian
neutrality. English relations with France
are less strained than they were a few
days since. Some, fears are expressed
that Government will be found to have
been too deferential to Napoleon. 1t
! is doubtful whether the whole correspon-
dence will be published.
