The treaty which separates Belgium from Holland—the treaty El the twenty-four articles, is it is called, because it contains twenty-seven—was, it will be recollected, to be ratified on the 15th El January ; previous to that day, a delay of fifteen days was sought and obtained. On the 31st, the treaty received the ratifi- cations of France and England. Some of the journals have amusingly described Lord PALMERSTON as sitting up until three o'clock in the morning in expectation of the ratifications of the Ether Powers. The King of Holland has made a fresh represen- tation against the articles of it. This is rather late. We believe that all the Powers will come in very soon; and if not—why they rust even stay out.
