made by the Dutch King to renew the old game of conferences, under the 111Vissamscrron auspices. The Times states, that Baron Zuylen de Nyevelt, who was the King of the Holland's Special Minister at the Conferences in the year 1832, is expected from Holland in a few slays- Apartments have been engaged for him at Batt's Hotel, Dover Street. It does not appear to be known whether M. de Nyevelt comes to this country se. a political mission or not ; but the fact of his appointment gave rise to the rumours current a few days back, that scone overtures were about to be made to the present Administration by the King of Holland, for the settlement of the remairriug differences with Belgium, for which the Dutch Govern. =eat is believed at length to evince a most sincere desire. The gradual im- provement of the Dutch Funds, which has now been in progress for some weeks, is also, without doubt, connected with this subject. It is thought by those who are capable of forming a correct judgment of the matter, that great deference would be paid to any opinion expressed by the Duke of Wellington on the subject, and that not many more protocols are to be anticipated."
Certainly, if the Duke throws him overboard, the King of Hol- land may disband his Schuttery, and give up all hopes of recou- quering Belgium.
