NEWS OF THE WEEK.
THE state of Belgium is still without a head ; and we would almost conclude that its Managers are without the material that gives a head its chief value. That an assembly which is threatened from within and from without—which is not very secure from foreign, and still less from domestic enemies—should hesitate from day to day in naming a chief to give consolidation to the Government, and peace to the People, is singular. The Prince of LEUCRTEN- n Elio has not been absolutely disposed -of, as we were last Satur- day given to understand : the proposal for his appointment wat only referred, not rejected. A letter has been laid before the Con- gress, Signed by SEBASTIAN', which repeats the objections of the French Government to the 'appointment, in a style that renders the complaint against FIRMiN ROG1ER, made by that Minister, wonderfully ridiculous. It will probably prove decisive of the Prince's'claints. The French declare decidedly that they will not recognise the Belgian Government if he be chosen. The party, of the POnce of ORANGE is said to be gaining ground, but no
second attempt has been made to put him-up. . ; .
