LONDON. THURSDAY, OCT. 20. WE have received, this morning, Brussels papers WW dated yesterday. The Beige states, that it is in contemplation to erect entrenchments on the heights which command the approaches to Brus- isels, for the purpose of protecting the city against a coup de main. It is said that after this day no person will be allowed, to quit Maestricht, and that the inha- bitants had been ordered to lay in provisions for three months. The follnwing- paragraph appears in the Courier, dated..yesterday s—" Prussia 4t»s^jsi*t declared that if on the 25th of, this month the Dutch should enter Belgium, and the French also enter to interfere in favour of the Belgians, it will on its side take part with Holland, and march against the French army." The following is a short but correct outline of the definitive arrangement which has been concluded under the mediation, or rather at the dictation, of the London Conference, between Holland and Bel.ium:- The basis of the conference is the extent of territorial possession belonging to Holland in 1790. The Dutch therefore, retain all the territory on the left bank of the Scheldt. The navigation of that river is to be regu- lated in the same manner, and according to the same principles, as by the treaty of Vienna. The portion of Luxemburgh which is assigned to Belgium is more than half that province, and in exchange for this ces- sion by Holland, the latter obtains a part of Limburg, containing a population less by 50,000 persons than, that portion of Luxemburg which is relinquished by the treaty. The King of Holland holds the remainder of Luxemburg, and, as Grand Duke of that province, is still to be a member of the Germanic confederation. Maesfricht remains wholly Dutch. Antwerp is, of course, to be given up to the Belgians as soon as the .a 11 treaty is ratified, and the latter on their part will sur- render Venloo. The debt is not divided equally by this treaty the interest of the whole amounts to about 27,000,0(10 of guilders, of which Belgium is only to pay between 8,000,000 and 9,000,000, being rather less than one-third. The plenipotentaries of Belgium and HolJajid left Londo:i on Sunday last to obtain the rati- fication of the treaty. So earnest a desiie, it is said, existed in the Members of the Conference to bring this matter to a termination, that they resolved on Friday se'nnight, not to break up till it was accomplished, and actually sat till five o'clock on the following morn- ing in fulfilment of this object. Private accounts from Belgium refer to the dissatis- faction of sorue persons with the terms of the treaty framed by the Conference, but express an opinion that they will ultimately be approved. The confident belief is, that both Holland and Belgium will accede to the treaty, although each party might desire better terms for itself and worse for its opponent. The King of Holland's speech has been received it Was delivered on the lith inst. It states that the diffi- cult situation in which the country had been placed du- j ring the last year is materially connected with the pre- sent, and all the exertions which have been used in ne- gotiations have proved fruitless, but nothing has been neglected, in case a proper arrangement should not be complied with, and they are prepared for a future con- tinuance of the war to obtain an honourable peace. It further adds that during the events which pievailed in the couutry, the friendly relations continue to be main- tained, and the payments of the dividends of the nation- al debt has not been for a moment delayed. At first, when the King of Holland's speech was known, it was thought to be of a warlike nature; but on mature re- flection, and finding- that the discussion of the Five Powers, on Saturday last, relative to Belgium, was not known at the Hague, other sentiments prevailed on the subject, and it is generally expected that the King of Holland will he satsisficl with the decision. n German papers to the 11th inst. have arrived. They contain some accounts from Greece. It appears that the isiand of Hydra is blockaded by Greek ships, and a Russian and a French frigate. The Greek Government had assembled about 7,000 men under the command of Colocotrani and Niketa, in the vicinity of Calamata and Maina, to prevent any insurrection. An expedition was about to be sent to Syra. The National Assembly was to meet on the 20th ultimo, when the rebels of Po- ros were to be tried. Mavrocordato and Tricupis were expected to suffer. HAMBURGH, OCT. 13. There are 55 sick of the cho- lera, and 31 deaths. The victims have been amongst the lowest classes, owing to the want of proper diet. At the breaking out of this calamity the consternation was very great; since which it has subsided, and every hope is held forth that it will not rage to a great ex- tent. Business has been again resumed. The Hanoverian Government has abolished all sani- tary regulations, as preventives of the cholera. Ex- perience has now shewn in Russia, Prussia, and Aus tria, and lastly in Hamburgh, the utter inefficiency of all cordons, the evil of which is immense to the respect- ive governments, and the loss incalculable to the in- dustrious classes.
