The people of Brussels are exceedingly dissatisfied at the qua-
lified recognition of Russia; and M. VAN DER WEYER has only been able to pacify them by the insinuation, that being aware of the plots that were hatching for the removal of Lord GREY, he- was glad to get the signature on any terms. The Ministry are• not much more agreed than the people. The Chambers, in their address, call on LEOPOLD,
" If Holland should persist in opposing just arrangements—if it should con- tinue acts of hostility, violations of territory, and particularly to make amends for the imprisonment of one of our citizens—then, Sire, at whatever cost it may be, we pray you to vindicate the national honour."
The King entirely agrees with the Chamber; and perhaps their agreement may weigh with Holland, and prevent the exhibition of that power which, with all his preparations, we suspect Win- LIA.M does not care to provoke. LEOPOLD, Say the letters from Paris, has at length formally proposed for the fair hand of one of Louis PHILIP'S daughters, and every preparation is making for the celebration of the marriage. The Convention respecting the demolition of the fortresses, Mersin, Atli, Mons, Phillippeville, and Marienburg, has appeared. Preparations for their demolition am to commence immediately, and it will be completed by the 31st December 1833. M. THORN IS still in prison.
