In the very remarkable Debate, which ended in the rejection of the Financial Laws proposed by the Government, there appeared three different grounds of opposition ; some of the speakers, particularly those of the Southern Provinces, grounded their-op position on the excessive expenditure which, in their opinion, brought the country to the brink of ruin ; others thought, that though the expenses for the pre sent year were not too great, yet they could not be adopted for ten years; and a third party did not think the expenses so excessive that they could reject the proposed laws on this ground, but in their opi nion, the cause of all their embarrassments, which had been experienced for the last four years, were to be found in the injudicious nature of a system of revenue, which, however continually reduced in its li mits, yet always remained below the limits fixed, so that they judged it impossible to continue this sys tem for ten years. The Director-General endeavoured to refute all these arguments, as well by an introductory discourse before the opening of the debate; as by a detailed circumstantial reply at the end of the debate, to the objections of the several speakers. All the proposed laws, however, as we have before stated, were re jected, and his. Vajesty was requested to reconsider them, the last only excepted, which was for the pur pose of covering the arrears. The following are the particulars of the laws rejected : " No. 1. First Projet of the Law for the Decennial Budget Expenses, as first proposed, rejected unanimously by the ninety eight Members present. " No. 2. Projet of Law for the Decennial Budget; Ways and Means, rejected by 97 votes twone. " No. 3. Revival of the First Law, rejected by 55 to 43. " No. 4. Revival of the Second Projet of Law, rejeeted by eit to 56. " No. 5. Law No. Z, of 28th Oct. relative to the Extraor dinary Budget of 1220 (Expenditure), rejected by 68 to 50. " No. 6. Law No. 4, of 28th Oct. relative to the Extraor dinary Budget of 1820 (Ways and Means), rejected by 70 votes to 28. " No. 7. Law No. 5, proposed the 28th Oct. to give the Go vernment a credit of 24,000,000, according to the Laws of 24th February, 1818, adopted by 54 votes to 44." HAGUE, DECEMBER 27. In the Sitting of the Second Chamber, this day, a Message from his Majesty was read, stating that their High Mightinesses having rejected the financial laws proposed to them, it was impossible to fix the expenditure and Ways and Means (as presented by the fundamental law) for this year ; that it is necessary to provide for the ordinary expenses of 'Government, - for satisfying the claims of the public creditors, while his Majesty is engaged in deliberating with ' all the speed that the importance of the subject will allow of, on the measures to be proposed to the Stows General for the execution of the above-men , tioned Article of the fundamental law. His Ma jesty, feeling it his duty to prevent any stagnation in the public business, tent with this Message a project of law, the object of which is to maintain in future the existing laws on the subjects, for the, space of eight months, after the 31st cf December, 1819, or for such shorter period as they shall remain unregulated by other laws to be hereafter enacted. This Message and Projet of Law being read, it was resolved to refer them immediately to the Sections, to hear the Report of the Central Section in the afternoon sitting, and then to proceed immediately to the debate; a point of form, however, rendering it necessary t,o adjourn the debate till the following morning, the Chamber rpet on the 28th, at eleven o'clock, when, after some conversation, the proposed law wai put to the vote, and passed unanimously, eighty-one Members being present. The Grand Duke CONSTANTISE arrived on the 2d ult. in the Russian capital from Warssw. U A , r , THE CONSTITUTION OF HANOVER. The_French Papers contain an Ordinance issued from Carlton-house, by his Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT, concerning the organization of the General Assembly of the States of Hanover. It is ordained, that the General Assembly of the States shall in future be composed of two Chambers, and be formed partly of Members who shallvper sonally have the right of sitting in the Assembly, and partly of Deputies elected. The two Chambers shall enjoy the same rights and attributes, and all the pro positions which shall emanate from the Cabinet Mi nistry shall be addressed to the General Assembly of the States. The Members of the two Chambers shall profess one of the three Christian professions which the Act of the Congress of Vienna has placed abso lutely upon the same footing ' • they shall have accom plished their 25th year, and shall be possessed of an independent fortune, in cases where their employment does not give them officially a right of sitting in the Assembly. The Ordinance then gives a personal he reditary vote in the First Chamber to Menibers who have formed a majerat, consisting of landed pro-. perty, situated within the kingdom, yielding 6000 crowns annual net revenue, and not encumbered by mortgage. The Deputies of the Equestrian Order, chosen for the duration of each Assembly of the States, shall possess a net revenue of 600 crowns, arising from I.anded property within the kingdom, and not encumbered by mortgage. The Deputies fi Om the Freeholders in the Second Chamber shall have a net revenue of '3OO crowns, arising from 'landed property within the kingdom. The other De puties chosen for the Second Chamber shall possess a net revenue of 300 crowns, arising either, from landed property situated within the kingdom, or from capital employed within the kingdom. KING'S THICATRE.—MOZART'S Opera of Figaro was performed on Saturday night with undiminished success; but owing to the inclemency of the weather, and it being New Year's Day, the audience were more select than numerous. The character of Figtrro has been properly restored to Signor ANGRIsANI ; he was received with great applause ; and in the fine martial air, Non piu Andrai," was loudly encored. Madame - BELLocur and ASIBROGZTTI, in the duet, " Perche-crudele finora ;" Signora CORRI and Bat.- Loch', in their duet ; and Signora CORRI, in the sim ple air of " Voi the Sapete," were complimented with the same meed of approbation. Mons. La CNOL , QIIE and Mademoiselle ELIZA are -polvetful acquisitions to the Corps 4e &get.

The Paris Papers of Thursday and Friday arrived this morning. The Moniteur contains the Royal Sanction to the Project of Law which has paksed both Chambers, for levying, provisionally, a certain part of the Revenues of next year. A Council of Ministers was held on Wednesday, which lasted from one o'clock till four. The KING presided. The Chamber of Deputies had a Public Sitting on Thursday, when a Report on a nutnber of Petitions was brought up by M. d'ARGENsow. The only Petition which attracted notice, was one from M. DUPLAN, an Officer of the Legion of Ho nour, in which he complained of the rekluction of the pensions of the Legion to one-half, and demanded that the Chamber should make the necessary sacri fices to complete, to the Members of the Legion, that pay which had been acquired at the price of their blood. The Committee of Petitions proposed, that it should be remitted to the President of the Coun- cil, and to the future Committee of Ways and Means. General For, in an eloquent and impressive speech, which appears to have excited a good deal of sensa tion in the Assembly, proposed, that not only the Petition of M. DUPLAN, but all those which have been presented to the Chamber during these three years past, relative to the Legion of Honour, should be remitted to •Ministers, with a recommendation to take them into their serious and doinitive considera tion. The cause of the Legion of Honour, the General maintained, was the cause of the whole nation. It was a royal, constitutional, and national institution. Its rights were collectively guaranteed by Article 92 of the Charter ; and the rights of the Legionaries. 'were farther individually guaranteed by Article 69. A Jesuitical interpretation of these Articles would be as unworthy of the Majlity of the Throne, as con trary to the well-known wishes of the people. And, assuredly, among those rights, thus guaranteed, .the right to the full pensions, of which the Legionaries were in the , actual enjoyMent at the time of the Charter, was understold by all to be included. The General did not, however, persist in his Amendment, and the remit was c.irried without a division, in the terms proposed by the Committee. The Marquis de LAUTOUR-MAUEOURG, Minister of War, has addressed a Circular, dated the 20th, to all , the Generals of Divisions and Colonels of Regiments, stating, that he has received information of seditious Addresses having been disseminated amongst the troops in several garrisons, with the guilty intention of seducing them from their duty, and to destroy that subordination which is so essential to the maintenance of military discipline and public order. - Hii Eicel lency, therefore, recommends them ;o redouble their vigilance to defeat the mischievous projects of de signing men ; and assures them, that their efforts shall be particularly noticed to his MAJ2STY. An article from Strasburg contains the following additional particulars to those received by the Dutch Mails, respecting the alarming inundations caused by the recent thaws in that quarter: STRASBURG, DECEMBER 25. During some days past this city has resembled an island, in consequence of the great floods, which inundate the environs from the overflowing of the 11l and the Bruche, as well as of an arm of the Rhine, which burst one of the dikes intended to keep it within a regular 'course. A pare of the glacis is laid under water. Very little expectation is formed of the lowering of the waters, in consequence of the great rains. Great alarm prevails through the country.-- The elevation is increased by the impetuosity of the wind, which augments the movement of the waves, already covering the fields and the roads. Trade has been injured from the prevention of all communica tion, and the fairs, which have been held at this sea son from time immenibrial, and which are called Handsel Faits, cannot now be holden. Our neighbours at Kehl undergo the greatest appre hensioni, for the utmost 'exertions are required from the inhabitants of all the surrounding communes, in order to prevent the bursting - of the only dyke Which I preserved thsplacelioet the inundations or thilthine, the junction of the waters of which, with those of the Kinzig, the overflowing of which had already coa -1 siderably injured the new Barracks, would has caused the inevitable destruction of a part of this city - lately rebuilt, with considerable labour. We are assured that the Rhine, or the Kinzig, has not been known to have increased to such a height daring the last 26 years. The bridge of boats, which replaces the great bridge of the Rhine (that magnificent mo. dern ruin which leaves us the regret of a million of francs being expended almost for nothing), has been undone for some time in that part of the river when the torrent threatened to destroy it. French 5 per Cents. Thursday, 71 fr. 10 c. A Mail from Holland arrived in the course of yesterday, from the Papers brought by which we have given, in a preceding column, an abstract of some .curious proceedings in the States•Geneial cf the Netherlands, who have rejected, with oue excep tio: the whole of a voluminous body of propositions, made to them on the part of thci: Sovereign, for regulating the public finances. Two additional Mails have arrived to-day from Holland and Flanders, from which the following are extracts : BRUSSELS, DECEMBER 30. By the accounts we receive from the iiagne, it ap pears that very warm debates are expected in the Se cond Chamber of the States General, upon the chap ters of the new Codes which have been hid before it for examination. It is observed, that public opinion is not very favourable to those parts . of these Codes which have been hitherto published. , FRANKFORT, DECEMBER 24. The Gazette of Munich contains the following ar ticle :—" It is certain that a plan had been fortnedyto establish a printing-office at Strasburg—that six Ger man compositors had already-arrived there, and that it was intended to print in that city all such works as cassaot be published in Germany, on account of the late resolutions of the Diet at Frankfort. " It was also intended to print a Newspaper, of the same tendency, which would, afterwards, have been circulated on the right bank of the Rhine. We have now received certain information that the French Go. vernment, far from tolerating such a project, has prohibited the execution of it, and that positive or ders have been received , on the subject, from Paris." A German Journal announces, that the Emperor and Empress of Austria will go, in the Spring, to Mi lan, and that their Majesties will even set out before the end of February. HAGUE, DECEMBER r 7. We have accounts from Batavia, of the 111th of August, which state„ that the ship Henrietta * aid Betsey had already set sail for Palembang, with troops, and that the ship Elizabeth was to proceed to the same place. .. • IRUN, DECEMBER U. The Aid-de-Camp of General Morillo, who arrived a few days ago at Madrid, brought important die. patches from that General, and was charged to give our Government an account of the state of affairs, cf the strength of troops, and of every thing relative to the critical situation of the army. He has represented to the Minister of War that it is absolutely neces. -ary to send, without delay, considerable supplies of troops, arms, ammunition, and, above all, a large detachment of artillery, order to be able to act with some success at the opening of the next campaign. —He adds, that the forces of General Morillo dimi- nish daily, by battle, disease, and even desertion, while those of- the enemy become more numerous, and better disciplined. The Ling has, in consequence, ordered a corps of five or six thousand chosen troops so be dispatched immediately to join General Mo. Orders have been sent to Cadiz, And it is sup posed that this first part of the Expedition will sail about the 21st of January. It is impossible to form an idea of the general asto nishment caused in all Spain by the forged orders for the march of the regiments of militia. The immense rewards offered, In the King's name, to him who shall reveal the authors of this plot, have hitherto been without effect. Meantime, it is ascertained that re. solutions favourable to a great part of our exiles had been taken, and were on the point of being published, which are now deferred, because this inconceivable measure is attributed to the party of the Liberates. HAARLEM, DECEMBER 25. The waters of the neighbouring rivers have rhea considerably within these few days. At Cologne, part of the city is inundated, and great fears are en tertained for the breaking of dikes. At-Arnheita, the river rose, from the 21th to the 68th, fiom 16 fee't to 19 feet 2 inches. The accounts from, Utrecht are also very alarming, and state, that the rising of the waters was without parallel. Part of the City of Liege is overflowed by the-rising of the Meuse. This sudden rice is attributed to the melting of the snow on the mountains and the continual rains. FRANKFORT, DECEMBER t.o. We learn from Manheim, that the melting of the snow on the mountains, in the middle of tliis month. has caused the rivers in Germany to rise in an *ova ordinary manner. The Necker bad overflowed its banks, and done great damage. The Rhine is eight feet higher than usual. Melancholy accounts 'art expected from other parts of Germany. COLOGNE, DECEMBER irr The Rhine is falling slowly, which makes tts hope 'that no further damage will ensue.
