(To be continued.) DUTCH PAPERS. HAGUE. iliMtail 19. A private letter from Luxemburgh, of 14th March, contains the following particulars : The federal fortress of Luennhurgh was given up yesterday, the r 13th to the German Confederation. The following are the parti culars which preceded and accompanied the ceremony ; circum stances which are not only remarkable, but give ground's. various reelections. 4 ; since the 10th the Netherland authorities have kept mom toge ther. in spite of the endeavours of the other party. Neither the t:ivil Governor nor Major-General Van Goedecke, in his character of Military Governor and of Commissioner of his 31a4esty the King of the Netherlands, have accepted the repeated invitations of the 111i heavy Government, which daily gives all sorts of entertainments. His Excellency the Civil Governor, 31. Willmar, gave, on Saturday the 11th, a grand entertainment, at which none but Netherland lune tionariee were present. The Commissioners of the (lemma Cottle. deratiun several times times waited onGeneral Van Goedecke, who heftily abided by his instructions with a dignity which really does him honour. On the 13th his Highness the Prince of liaise horn. burg, Governor of the Fortress, acquainted General Van Goetlee.ke that the solemnity of giving up the fortress would take place at 11 o'clock. Every thing was prepared for the purpose ; the three re- Pimetita of the - lime, vit. : the 30th, 330). and 10th , composing the rasaian garrison, made themselves ready for the parade, when an Aid-de-Camp of the General presented to his Highness the Prince Governor, a protest nit the part of the King of the Netherlands, to which the Prince replied, "it is now too late." the ceremony now began : the keys of the fortress were presented by the 3lajor de Place to the Commandant ; the littler gave them to the Prince Governor, who delivered the keys into the hands of the COUlMlN sinners of the German Confederation, and an oath, in the name of the Confederation , having been administered to the Commandant, the keys were returned to him. All this took place on the parade, whertm his Highness, accompanied by the Generals, Lieutenant .fisdvals. and many superior officers, proceeded to his Hotel, be tee, which the three regiments above mentioned twice defiled in grand parade. It is particularly to be remarked that none of the Netherlands Authorities were present at the entertainment, as the materiel of the fortress is still under the authority of the King. Th e C unt . nossioners of the Confederation say that the giving up of the fortress, which has now taken place only in form, shall be really carried into . effect in a fortnight. It may be easily supposed that this event, attended with la Many peculiar circumstances, must give occasion to a:1 kitels of refl:ctions. Among other things, it Is remarkable that the prodarnarion of the hill.tary Governor concerning the delivery of the fortress, which was posted up in the city, has been several times pulled down; and that the sentinels have received orders to have a watchful eye on it. The Second Chamber of the states General WOfiLllll2 to discuss the new criminal code. MARCH lg. Mercantile letters from Frankfort. received in this city, speak ht the following terms:—" All the accounts which we receive from tl e frontiers of Roasts agree in stating that many arrests still con. unue to be made in different provinces of the empire. At St. Pe tersburg's. 51uscost, and other great cities. every thing is tranquil; but it is observed that this calm is gloomy, which nom mane uneasiness. Meantime the investigation of the great conspiracy is ding wilt activity, and important discoveries appear to have rvro et made.

Both Houses of Parliament adjourned last night for the Easter recess, until Wednesday, Sth April. The intelligence from l'ortugal, given in the French Papers, contains scarcely any additional information. We see no reason to retract the opinion which we originally advanced, that IslamLea-Mania, in the event of Don PE D 110 . 11 resignation, will ascend the throne of Portugal. Her two sisters,who have been married to Spanish Princes, are excluded by a fundamental law of the State, which provides that " a daughter of the King marrying any Prince or Lord of a foreign nation, shall not be recognised either az Queen or Regent." Sir IVILLIAM A'Cou az has bad several long interviews with the Portuguese Ministry, and the Commander of the English squadron in the Tagus has taken such measures as are proper to secure the tran quillity of Lisbon. An additional frigate with two brigs has arrived in that port. The will of the late KING directs that the Regency shall continue to discharge its functions till the legitimate heir of the Crown shall give his orders on the sulject. 'I he Corterier Francais asserts, on the autho rity of a letter from Lisbon, that DoN PEDRO was to be proclaimed KING. In Spain, it seems, the exclusion of the Queen of FOR. TUG AL from the Regency has caused a popular tumult at Madrid. The Council of State still continues to form projects for excluding such persons from employments as are not likely, to second them in their views ; but the KING does not appear inclined to adopt their suggestions. It is even supposed that he has a design of restoring the His cayans to all their ancient privileges and immunities. FER DINAND seems, in his opposition to the Apostolical party, as well as in this last measure, to be governed by the in fluence of the French, whose interest it is to secure the good will of the people of that province, as they can at any time prevent a French army from penetrating into Spain. The nature of the principal commotion' in Spain has been a little misapprehended; as the danger arising from the endeavours of the Constitutionalists is far less formidable than that which is said to threaten FEZDINAND from the partisans of DoN CARLOS. We learn that the first and third battalions of the .sGth French regiment of the line arrived at Toulouse, from Perpignan and Carcas sone, and set out on the 17th inst. ; the first battalion for laca, and the other for St. Jean pied-de-Port. Letters from the frontiers of Poland assert that the ar rests at St. Pctersburgh, and other towns of Russia, in creased every day, and add, " that it was impossible to determine how far the ramifications of .he conspiracy might extend, as a number of persons were implicated in it who had no apparent connexion with the capital, but whose names had been found in the lists seized among the papers of the conspirators." Accounts are given in letters from Trieste, of an attack on Missolonghi, in which the Creeks had again succeeded in repulsing the troops of Isamu 31 PAC [From the Quotieterenc of Tuesday, Dl arch 21.1 31Aitc" 20. It is said to-day on 'Change that a considerable armament was making in the ports of England, and that it was destined for the Tagus. It was also affirmed that a popular tumult had taken place at 31adrid on the day when they received in that capital the news both of the death of the King of Portugal, and of the Dr. cree which excluded Queen Charlotte from the Regency in favour of one of her daughters. The Echo du Midi states that the news from Catalonia confirms the sentence and execution of 32 Revolutionists, who had landed on the coast of Alteant. Ten others have experienced the same fate, including Captain Iluan, the leader of die band. Colonel Haien, who is severely (perhaps mortally) wounded, has not been executed. Be will also be shot if he survives hie wounds. I From the Plotel PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. Auoseuao, MARCH IL We have just learned by expresses despatched from Vienna, that all the public funds have experienced a very great decline. The Meta Myles have fallen to 1134, and Dank Shares to 990. This fall had been prepared by very alarming reports respecting the health of the Emperor Francis, chose situation had become much worse within these few days s but it was immediately produced by the failure of a great jobber, N. Appel, in consequence of which a quantity of stock had beim thrown on the market. 'nom ♦ PRIVATE LETTER. LEGHORN, 111Auctt 8. In the muse of last month a considerable cargo of wheat was sent from this port, consigned to Zmte by the Greek Committee at Geneva, to be sent to the garrison of Itlissolonghi. Considering this favourable news for the Greeks, which is confirmed from all quarters, there is reason to hope that this cargo has reached its des tination. The same Committee sent last autumn to Napoli di Romania 8,000 muskets on the French model, with the necessary accompaniments. PAM, AIA li CH 20.

According to private letters there are 9,000 regular troops in Cuba ; vis. 7,000 Europeans, and 2,000 natives. The Deputies of the Blscayan provinces now here have just been called upon for a report on the privileges which their provinces en joyed In the time of Charles HI. It seems thst the King intends to restore to them all their ancient privileges, even those which were taken from them under the Ministry of Oodoy, but on condition Of their increasing their annual contribution to the public treasury. Orders have been sent to the Inspector of the Bath* at Sacedon to forward the works of the little palace of Queen Isabella, so that it may be able to receive the King, who, it is said N intends to go thither this year. _ _ _ General attends has ►een deprived of the command of the province of Seville. The Council of State has just laid before the Kings report, stating that, in spite of the purifications, persons have crept Tato all the branches of the administration, whose political principles do not harmonise with the system of his Majesty's Government. The Council concludes by requiring a purification of the employ&. The King ham sent the report to tha Council of Ministers to be ex amined, with an injunction not to make any change among the persons actually in office, even if the report of the Council shauld be perfectly veil founded, until a very detailed report shall have been made respecting that part of the conduct of the officer, which would require his dismissal.

The 'great object of the Bank is to relieve the pressure on pub lic credit, under terms most advantageous to the applicants that can be granted consistently with its own security. The liberal manner in which the Directors came forward, in aid of the public service, has contributed greatly to the restoration of commercial confidence, and averted much of that embarrassment which, great as it was, would, without such assistance, have gone on to accumulate to a much greater extent. The inquiries urged by Mr. YOUNG may be regarded as somewhat premature, inasmuch as, in ac ceding to particular applications, and in previously regu lating the terms on which they may respectively be com plied with, so much must be left to the discretion of the Directors, that it is easy to see the impossibility of answer ing in detail to pints which it is before-hand impossible to decide upon, and 'which, after all, are best left to the judgment and integrity of those to whom ate arrangements are confided. CITY. THURSDAY EVENING. The Funds drooped this morning, owing, it was stated, to reports relative to Portugal, but they were much too vague to have had any influence even on the Stock Ex changes in a time of less agitation than the present. It was said that an application for an English force to protect the Regency in 7ortugal was made to the English Ambassador at Lisbon, which had given great offence to the Court of Paris, and that remonstrances were already sent over on the subject. After this rumour was in circu lation, Consols, which had previously been at 78 to 4, fell t0:771 I, at which quotation they closed. An eminent speculator sold largely, and it was reported that he did so in consequence of his possessing information of a very un favourable nature. It was said that he sold nearly 400,0001. Taking such a sale into consideration, the prices certainly retrograded less than might have been expected. Ex chequer Bills were rather lower, they were reported at 3s. 4s. 'is. 3a. premium. India Bonds ?so experienced a slight decline ; Is. 3s. premium was the price of the morning, and the Money market was generally heavy. The Exchequer Bill Market is still largely occupy:ng, the attention, not only of speculators lea of mercantile men generally, many of whom are of opinion that the rise of the rate of Exchanges, on the last Exchange day, seems to prove that the causes which have produced a con traction of the currency are still in operation. Under these circumstances they say that the CHANCELLOR of the Ex- CHEQUER would act wisely in postponing or abandoning his intention of increasing the funded and diminishing the floating debt, by raising a loan, or withdrawing Ex chequer Bills from circulation, unless the public faith, pledged to the Bank, should make one of these measures necessary. As to the other motive which may be supposed to have dictated his pl a n,—th e f ear th at the Exchequer Bills would be paid in considerable quantities to the col lectors of revenue,—their present price is calculated to re move this alarm. A large party in the City are still of opinion that the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQHFR may have calculated too sanguinely on the degree to which mercantile credit had revived. Recent failures they assert have shown that it is still in such a state as would render it most unwise fur the Government to go to market as a borrower, or to take any measure which may divert cap!.al from its ordinary employments, onto augment, for however short a period, the contraction of the currency.

" His Majesty the Emperor was suddenly taken ill on the night of the 9th, and seized with an inflammatory fever. against which all the necessary remedies were immediately employed. On the Milt, at six in the morning, his Majesty was blooded, which alliirdtd him some relief. The degree of fever, and the other symptoms of the disorder, rendered it necessary to take away some more blood, which was done the same day, and greatly diminished the symp. toms of the disorder, so that in the night of the 10th his Majesty had acme quiet sleep, and on the I left, in the morning, he felt him self something easier. On account of a local pain, leeches were applied to-day, by which the pain was very much lessened. The coarse of the disorder hitherto gives every reason to expect that his Majesty will in a short time be wholly recovered. " Baron VON STlk"f, his Majesty's Chief Physician.

SECOND BULLETIN OF THE HEALTH OF HIS MAJESTY THE EMPEROR. •' In the night of the ilth the symptoms of the disorder and the fever became so much worse, that his Majesty was unable to sleep. In the morning of the 12th the Emperor experienced some relief, but it was not of long continuance, and towards noon it was neces sary to bleed hint again.

WORCESTER ELECTION:OUE accounts from Worcester state that Mr. Robinson has continued to meet with the most flattering encouragement from all classes of the citi zens in his canvass of the above City, leaving his success at the general election beyond a doubt. Ve learn that a report is in circulation, that Mr. Sug den intends to retire from the contest for the Rape of Brain ber. This report we know from undoubted authority to be untrue, and therefore have much pleasure in coatradict ing ft.—Brighton Gazelle. We are sorry to state, that Sir Richard Sutton, when out with his hounds on Wednesday last, had again the misfortune to break his thigh. The accident occurred a few miles from Canwick, at which place the hounds threw off' that morning.—Derlry Mercury. Sir Bellingham Graham has disposed of his stud and pack of fox hounds, intending to reside for some time in Yorkshire. We understand that two well-known and spirited sportsmen have purchased the hounds, which still continue to hunt in Shropshire.—Derhy Mercury. It is with great regret we announce the death of Sur geon Todd, which took place at his house in Kildare street, on Sunday evening. He was very eminent in his profession, though he was under forty years of age, and has left a family of fifteen children.—Freeman's Journal. The Rev. Dr. Hewlett has resigned the situation of Morning Preacher to the Foundling Hospital, after having filled it for twenty years. BEUCIAMI.—It seems they begin again to talk of Bergami at Rome. He has been in that city for several months ; but the police has sent him an order to leave Rome. The same order, it is feared, has been given to the celebrated improvisatore Giotti, who has already been refused a paws port for Naples by the Neapolitan Ambassador. He means to go to Paris and London. MEMOIRS or Fore:Hr.—The cause relative to the pre tended memoirs of Fondle has been decided, the book• sellers being condemned to pay five francs for each copy of the second part. Kaschiour has not, it seems, been condemned to death by the inquisition. His sentence has only been perpetual imprisonment, and that not of a very rigorous description, as he is permitted to pass several hours in the garden every day, where he amuses himself by cultivating flowers. LIVERPOOL, IVEDNESDA.v.-Our Cotton Market is tolerably steady, but prices, if any difference, are in fa vour of the buyer. About %SOO to 3,000 bags sold during the week. CALCULATION OF LONDON CONSUMPTION.--11, is Cal culated that there are upwards of 6,0 . 00 acres of ground cul tivated as gardens within tw e lv e miles of the Metropolis, giving employment to 30,000 persons in winter, and three times that number in summer. Numerous calculations have been made of the annual consumption of food in the Metropolis; but this is not easily ascertained. The num ber of cattle sold in Smithfield market in the year 1822, were 149,885 beasts, 21,600 calves, 1,507,090 sheep, and 20,020 pigs. This does not, however, by any means form the total consumed in Londom., as large quantities of meat in carcasses, particularly pork, are daily brought from the counties round the Metropolis. The total value of the cattle sold in Smithfield is calculated at 8,500,00014 and . it is supposed that a million a year is expended in fruits and vegetables. The consumption of wheat amounts to a million of quarters annually; of this four-fifths are supposed to be made into bread, being a con sumption of 61 millions of quartern loaves every year in the metropolis alone. Until within the last few years the price of bread was regulated by assize, and it may aff or d some idea of the v as t amount of money paid for time staff of life, when it is stated that an advance of one farthing on the quartern loaf formed an aggregate increase in expense, for this article alone, of upwards of 13,000/. per week. The annual consumption of butter in London amounts to about 11,000, and that of cheese to 13,000 tons, The money paid annually for milk is sup posed to amount to 1,250,0001. The quantity of poultry annually consumned in London is supposed to cost between 70 and 80,000/. That of game depends on the fruitfulness of the season. There is nothing, however, more surpris ing than the sale of rabbits. One salesman in Leadenhall market, during a considerable portion of the year, is sad to sell 14,000 rabbits weekly. The way in which he dis poses of them is by employing between 150 and 5200 men and women, who hawk them tluough the streets. THE 1:X1111117'10N OF THE SOCIETY op BRITISH ARTISTS',SUFFOLK-STREET. The above Exhibition was yesterday opened for private view, and was most fully and fashionably attended. Th e direct tendency of exhibitions of this kind to contribute to the advancement of Art is manifest from the pictures now produced, which, taken collectively, are superior to those of last year, and show tl.e spirit of improvement which has been excited, as well by individual competition as by that public patronage by which genius is, in these days, so li. herally rewarded. We congratulate this Society of British Artists on the success with %Inch they have here put in their claim to public appprohation. Pictures are become an indispensable appendage to the mansion of every man of wealth, while to the man of tas te they make a part of the necessaries of life. In the present exhibition the amateur will find much to covet. The beautiful pencil of Gr.ov P. It maintains its pre-eminence in landsc a p e. His Rocky (..'oast and Cavern lathe Isle of Bute, (No. 45.) with its rich broken tints, and its tender gleam of sun light, has all the attributes of truth and nature, which have gained his pictures so much celebrity. The ex. hibition is enriched with various other productions, from the same eminent hand, all hearing the same high charac ter of excellence. 13. The Dedication by limier es, is admirable. The comic expression thrown into the face of the Author, who appears to laugh in his sleeve at the bur. lesque encomium with which he is Aunt to tickle the vanity of his noble patron, is uncommonly well imagined. Th . Epistle Dedicatory which lies before him, runs thus:— " My LORD—Nut to know your Lordship were an ig. norance beyond barbarism. Till th.• womb of nature was made happy by your illustrious birth, the generation of man was but one long miscarriage. IleroLs and sages were mere abortions ; poets and orators sti;l-born ; 'all men illegitimate; tike very name of man scarcely to be guessed at in its high import till your Lordship's excellen ce furnished the definition." The ludicrous feelMg of exults. tion depicted in the countenance of the writer, after having struck oft' this finished panegyric, is inimitable. The whole delineation of the attitude and characee is in a capital style of poetical invention. Among many productions of peculiar excellence we may enumerate, I. Mailed; Ho. Tor, IV. Li NTON.—'2I.

Amen." The Doctor then inspected the quality of the meat, and having seen that all were supplied with a piece of beef, read the Grace after meat—" Graft, 0 Lord, in the hearts of these people, grateful obedience to the Royal disposer of these thy blessings, and cause them to look up to thee as the sapreme author of every good, through Jesus Christ our Lord." The cloths were then removed, and a wooden platter, on which were four loaves and two salt salmon, two salt cod, eighteen salt herrings, and eighteen red ditto, were placed before each person, which the Sub-Almoner in spected, The distributors then produced several leather flagons filled with ale, and a quantity of wooden ale-cups, out of which the Sub-Almoner drank to the health of King George IV. which was also drank by the recipients, who shortly afterwards departed with their load of pro visions.
