Holland and Belgium are involved in a petty quarrel. The

King of Holland has sent a detachment of troops with orders to cut down the forest of Grunenwald in the Dutchy of Luxemburg, in defiance of the treaty by e hich he is bound to France and Eng- land to preserve the status quo in Luxemburg. It is said that the commanders of the Prussian forces have instructions to resist any attempt of the Belgians to interfere with the operations of the Dutch. The Belgian Government has addressed remonstrances to the German Diet against the proceeding of the King of Holland ; and it was hoped that the Diet would not sanction it. There, for the present, the matter rests.
