ture of these chiefs will lead to important revelations
with regard 10 the whole conspiracy.


Belgium.


Amicable relations have been resumed between
Russia and Belgium. The TWO governments have
il appears, entered Into treaty for the reciprocal
suppression Of the Dros d.4ubdins. This is the
first diplomatic act which has passed bstween the
two states since the formal acknowledgment by
Russia of the independence Of Belgium and the
sovereignty Of King Leopold. "


Holland. .... ......


The accounts from the Hague to the beginning Of
April state that the government has just sent 10 the
second chamber Of the states general Its answer to
the observations made in the provisional report on
the project Of law relative TO the conditional aug
mentations of the import and export duties of va
rious articles. We see in this document that the
government has observed with satisfaction that the
second chamber had found in the circumstances In
which the Netherlands are now placed with respect
TO Belgium sufficient motives TO assent to the propo-
sails which had been made TO the legislature. The
government on its part, sees no difficulty In yield
ing to the desire expressed by the majority OF the
chamber TO remove from the present project OF law
the general tendency which had been given 1t to
render il applicable 10 Belgium alone. We have re-
ceived by way of Singapore accounts from Batavia
of February lst They inform US that IN conse-
quence Of the failure Of the potato crop in Holland
orders have been given TO export large quantity Of
rice Ships laden with colonial produce for the
government were authorized to take one-third Of
their cargo in rice Other Dutch ships which de-
sired to take in rice were admitted for that purpose
into the smaller ports where there are no custom
houses aud the duty on expectation is excused.
