The correspondent of the London Morning Chronicle thinks that Belgium must be united to France, and that the people will never rest satisfied until this event takes place. A bloody struggle must be had before such an event could happen had the Constitution of the Pays-Bas been perfect—even had the King acted with impartiality and wisdom—even had his Ministers been selected equally from Belgium and Holland—even had the Press been free—even had the taxes been diminished—even had judges been independent—even had the finances of the country been put on a proper basis—and permanent—even had the instruction of the youth been attended to—still the Belgians would never have been satisfied until their country became once more united to France.
