Authentic accounts from St. Petersburg state, that the Emperor of
Russia has positively refused to accede to the proposal for a Congress at Vienna, to take into consideration the affairs of the East ; and that he has, on the contrary, proposed a Congress at Berlin, for himself, the Emperor of Austria, and the King of Prussia. These three Powers have recently declared to our Cabinet, that they will not concur in any measure for the coercion of Holland into a final treaty of peace with Belgium, if one of its conditions is to be the payment of the enormous sum demanded by the Belgians and the French, for the expenditure of the Belgian Army during the last two years, and the occupation of the French.
