The mission of Count ORLOFF to the King of Holland,
is, it seems, not for the purpose of ratifying the treaty, but merely of -.advising with his Majesty on the subject. NICHOLAS is said still to hesitate in regard to the internal navigation article, and that which relates to the debt,—for the payment of which by Belgium, he considers some guarantee required. The Orange party in Bel- gium are described as busy preparing, the people for a reunion ! Idle expectation ! The Dutch Monarch, in his endeavours to pro- -glace an impression on the one side of Belgium, forgets that the • 'trench are on the other. Prussia cannot afford to go to war in his behalf—durst she, if she could, with the recent example of France before her eyes, and FREDERICK WILLIAM'S broken promise in her heart? The Count ORLOFF is expected in London next week. Be is treated at the Hague with great distinction. The voluntary Dutch loan amounts to 42,000,000 florins.
