NETHERLANDS.—A gentleman from Brussels states that the son of the Ex-King of Sweden is in that capital, where he is received at court, and treated with every mark of respect. In short he is on the point of marrying the only daughter of the King of Holland, the alliance having been for some time decided on. The present King of Sweden is greatly alarmed at this union, and several couriers have lately passed between St. Petersburgh and Stockholm on this subject. The Emperor of Russia is said to be favorable to the marriage. It is thought that he contemplates the restoration of the family of Gustavus to the sovereign power.
