+, It is not true, as stated by some of our contemporaries, that Leopold has accepted certain propositions from the

Conference: he has neither accepted nor rejected anv thing that has been suggested to him from that quarter and the Conference have merely advised the course which they wish him -t to follow. The retiiemcnt of M. de

THE LONDON CONFERENCE-

Very little excitement has ftm prodared in the money market by the con»

1.4*' firmationof the rumors respecting the note of the King of Holland, though In rl fict, to the general apprehension, it .. makes the alternative 01 a war all hut inevitat)le. This is owing, probably, to the very contracted st^te of business. and (he almost total extinction of speculative transaction in the foods. Had similar circumstances occurred a year i- or two back, they could not have failed to produce very materia) fluctuations.

The expectations which were cnlertained by the Conference of a speedy 't'-.'l and satiifectory arnkngement of the

Belgian question are at an end. On Thursday evening a sealed note, from Ue King of Holland totbe Conference,

was gifMpw i^ora Palmertton by the Dutch Ambassador, Baron Von Zuylen and last night,the members of the Conference having all asaeiobljd, the note wasopened and read by them.— Instead of nnding, as they expected, an acknowledgement of the readiness of the King of Hollaed to treat witji the King of Belgium, and an appointment of Barn Von Zuylen with full powers to treat with M. Van de Weyer,^the Conference,to their astonishment, and to the real indignation of some, as well as the avowed indignation of all. found a long note without the slightest allusion to the proposed negotiations between M. Van de Weyer and Baroh Von Zuylen, or to the suggestions of the Conference.

The note commences by an expression of surprise on the part of the write, M. de Verstolk, in the name of the King, his master, at the delay which has attended thfe Belgian question since the conditions on which the King was willing to treat had been made known to the Conference and to the Belgians, and then proceeds, in the language which is intended to be courteous, but which is not to be misunderstood, to complain of the support given by the conference to revolutionary principles, and tfodteclare that whateivfer may be the conduct of the gi eat powers, the King of Holland, relying on the justice of his cause, and on the support of Divine Providence, wiH know how to maintain his honor without the necessity of conceding points which are of vital importance to bis country.

The noe is of great length, but we have given its chief character. It it evidently inten.led only for further de-^ lay and unless France and England ohould act a decisive and manlv part, that, objcct will be gained. Let us hope, however, that the two cabinets will see their iterest, and unite in a resolution to compel the Kiftg of Holland to conclude a treaty with Belgium, on terms which, without being dishonorable to him, shall be fair arid liberal towards his former subjects.

The position of Leopold is one of great difficulty but, as regards his country and France, it is better than it was a few days ago. #By taking upon himself to accept the proposals of the Conference, contrary to the declared wishes of his Chambers, and to dismiss ministry acting in accordance with those bodies, he has shown his desire for peace, and has now a direct claim for support on the British and French Cabinets. The King of Holland has rejected all overtures for peace, except on his own terms and if Belgium be abandoned by us and France, after the om essions offered by her King at the risk of his own popularity witlihis people, the two governmerts will be guilty not only of great meanness, but of great injustice and the next thing to be expected will be a dictation to England and France, on matters directly concerning their own honor and safetv, by some petty state, acting is the pup pet of Russia, Austria, or Prussia.

FROM THE LONDON TIMES, SEPT. 33, ft

We have learned with regret, not unmixed witl astonishment and indignation, that his Dutch Majesty has refused to treat on the reasonable modification of the treaty of Nov. I5,which we mentioned yesterday, and wh^ch were itely transmitted to the Hague,by the Pr sident of the Conference on the part of Belgium. His Majesty's answer is at once insulting and evasive—insulting to the Conference, and evasive to the question at issue declining to make any new proposition of his own, and taking no notice of the propositions made on the other side.

This extraordinary answer was yesterday delivered to the Conference, especially convened to deliberate upon its nature and contents. Of course, it cannot he imagined that any final decision was idopted on so momnntous a subject in the abscence of the Chief English Ministers. The Conference is to meet again to-day, but every reasonable man must now see that all hope of bringing his Dutch Majesty to his senses by protocols and peaceful representations ust be abandoned.. He is evidently determined to come to no arrangement without being compelled by superior force. H«l is evidently resolved to employ every subterfuge, and to practice every stratagem to in time. His mind seems to be made up to take advantage of the chapter of accidents—and rather to hazard the chances of war, to recover the whole of his dominions, than to agree to terms of accommodation, by which he may enjoy a part of them in security and peace. Jp

The Conference, which has Ted6 so erossly insulted, cannot permit ihif insiduous game to be pursued any further. It is evidently the interest of Austria and Prussia, that the Beigic affairs should be settled and is no less the interest than the duty of Franot and England to become the instrument* of such a salutary work. His Dutch Majesty can place his only reliance in the infamous Government of Russia, which, desirous of embroiling Western Europe, that it may perpetrate, unmolested, all its intended barbarities in Poland) has no doubt encouraged His

'*•& .Sht-

Dutclr Majesty In his present dangerous course. The Conference can no longer trifle with the peace of Europe and the rights of Belgium. If they have ap* pointed themselves umpires, they must £nfgre their award. After inducing the king of Belgium to descend from riy lofty position wiiich be occupied 0«i a treaty ratified by all their Courts, and become the |hibl»naw of Europe —after leading him to believe thai the points of difference between him and his neighbors might be arranged by mutual concessions—after thus extracting from him some reasonable proposals of modifications in the treaty—after making him thus break through the assurance whiiih he had given his Chambers,1that he would never negotiate with an enemy in his territory— they have exposed his Beigic Majesty to the dangerous tshances of unpopulai ity, without securing any of the advantages of peace. He is now, perhaps, without a Cabinet—exposed to the attacks of the press, to the remonstrances of the gislature, and suspicions df the charitable and loyal portion of liis subjects. jHis alliens'«re bound to replace him ill the situation which he would have occupied had he not trusted to their assurances of that definitive arrangement, which, if obtained, would have constituted his best apology for appearing to have deserted his pledges.

EXPRESS FROM PARI8. LONDON, SEPT.22—(Evening.) An express from Paris has arrived today, with letters of Tuesday, and every thing indicates that France is perfectly to second the decision of the Conference by a movement against Holland, should that step be deemed advisable. Troops are collected on the frontier next Belgium, and could, it is conceived, be in Brussels in a very short time. The Duke of Orleans has left Paris for Brussels, in order, as it is supposed, to convey Leopold the Opinions of the French Ministry, and to explain the course which is intended to be pursued in the event of the King of Holland proving refractory. The late communication from the Hague, which was laid before the London Conference yesterday, was not known in Paris, but every expectation existed that it would turn out as unsatisfactory as has really proved to be the case.— It is perfectly understood, however, that the French troop3 will not move without the concurrency of the English Ministry. The co-operation of England, by sending a fleet into the Scheldt, is desired by France, but failing in that the consent of the mini$tr) to the march of the French troops into Belgium, wilLbft deemed sufficient.— The funds fMrtKut one per cent, ir, Paris on Tuesday, in consequenceol the feeling, that an interference in behalf of Belgium has become all but inevitable. *1

Arrival of the Duchess de Wri 'til Holland.—1The Gazette de N^rmandie says. "Whilst at Nantes, they are breaking through the doors of co. vents to look for the Duchess de Berri, she has been received with regard and respect in Holland, where she has just arrived, and where she will shortly embrace her family and her children."

Don Pedro*s Expedition.-—There are no later accounts from Portugal. Reinforcements to aid the cause of Don Pedro were continually departing,.

The Echo steamer, Lieut, Otway, sailed from Falmouth, on Tuesday, 18th, for Oporto, with the Marquis Palme I la. Senhor Barboza, hi* Secretary, and suite, Senhors Costa, Vasoncellos, Roke, and Gomez, on a special mission in the cause of Donna Maria. The Marquis reached Falmouth on Saturday morning. The steamer had been detained some days, waiting the arrival of a messenger with despatches, who arrived on Tuesday, and the steamer sailed immediatly.

Maj. Lawson,who came home from Oporto, on leave, in coneequedce of difference, as we are informed, with CoL Hodges, is about to return to Portugal, accompanied by a general officer of considerable experience, under whose command Count Vilia Flor served during the war. Several hundred effective men, who have enrolled themselves under Don Pedro, will go put with these gallant officers.

One pound each of Bavberrv and Nerve Powder steeped at different times in a small quantity of water and the liquor poured off, until you get one gallon of the decoction, to this add one gallon of Sugar House, or other pure molasses, one gallon best Jamaica rum, one gallon Rheumatic drops prepared from the very best materials— then to one oz. genuine African cayenne, pour a teacupfull of boiling water, and after standing a short time, add this to the foregoing mix the whole together, and it is ready for use.

For a preventive, take a table spoonful three or four times a day. In the first stages of the disease, give one teaspoonful of the powders (hereafter described) in half a wine glass of the syrnp every hour, or oftener if the attack is violent, place the patient over a lively steam, or place hot stones or bricks wrapped in wet cloths so as to communicate the steam as much as possible to every part of the body and limb*. If the patient should continue to sink after giving a few of the above doses, there should be added from one to three teaspoonsfull of the 3d preparation. Injections should also be used.

After perspiration takes place, put the patient in bed l»etween woollen sheets if practicable, and place a hot stone at the feet, and continue giving a dose of syrup once an hour, or sufficiently often to keep up perspiration for a few hours, when, if the patient is not materially relieved, a full course of medicine must be administered.

For children, the use of the powders may be dispensed with, excepting for the injections..t

The powder ^above alluded to is composed of two parts each, of Cayenne, Bayberry and Nerve powder, and half a part of bitterroot or two parts of kercuma.

When is a man a madman, and who is a madman! Society determines this question in a manner singularly selfish. An old writer says, on this point *4 That if the circle in which the ab» surdity revolves, is so small as to touch nobly, a man is then only what is call ed singular but if its orbit is* extended, so as to run foul of other people, he is then called a madman."

THE POLE \WD THE PARISIAN.—"Ten years ago, M. Joseph Strnzewicb, a voung Lithuanian enjoying a very large fortune, made a visit 01 pleasure to Paris, and lodged at the Hotel des Bains, in the Kue St. Thomas de louvre. One morning, as he was on the point of going out to keep an appointment, a young man of interesting appearance, in a state of,great agitation, came into his apartment, and said, You area Pole 1 have served with your bra?e countrymen under Napoleon I know that they never refused to render a service when it was in their power. With this confidence 1 came to tell you that 1 am suffering from an unexpected loss. 1 have immediate need of a sum of money (which he named.) To you this is a trifle to me it will rescue my wife and children from despair." The num, though not considerable, was too much to give to a man who had no claims, who did not eyen mtjrtion bis name.— M. de Strazewich hesitated a moment but the next, humanity overcame prudence, and he placed it in the hand of the supplicant. Upon the recent insurrection in Poland, M. de Strazewich took up arms in the cause of his country this.beimi lost, hitt estate was confiscated, and himself again in Paris, as a refugee. A few days ago a gentleman entered his lodgings, and asked him if he recollected his per-

I know your misfortunes, 8t)d| am come to repay the money so kindly advanced, with intrest," at the same« time placing upon the table a sum amounting to about double that tvhic' had been so generously advanced* The visitor then declared that he was
