FRENCH PAPERS. (From Calignani's .Ilessenger of Saturday.) On the King's leaving Cambray, at half-past eight in the morning of the Sth, the whole of the National Guards and the troops of the line were under arms, and the Mayor. with the Municipal Body, was in attendance at the gate by which his Majesty left the town, to honour his depar ture. On passing through Gateau, Landrecies, Maroelles. and Avesnes, the King and Princes alighted, and reviewed the National Guards of the several towns. At Avesnes his Majesty entered the Hotel-de-Ville, and received s basket of flowers, which was presented to him by Mdlle Guillemin, the Mayor's daughter, accompanied by a long train of young ladies, and where Addresses were presented by the Civil Tribunal, the Municipal Body, and the Clergy At half-past four the King arrived within a quarter of a league of Mauheuge, whence he was escorted by the Na tional Horse Guards of the place, and a squadron of dra goons, to a triumphal arch, at the entrance of the town, where the Mayor, attended by all the civic officers, pre sented him the keys, and a gun from the manufactory at Maubeuge. His Majesty then proceeded through a double line of soldiers, formed of the 25th and 58th regiments, to the residence of M. de St. Leger, the Mayor, where he alighted, and received the congratulations of all the civil and military authorities. The King appeared to receive with great interest the application male to him by the Mayor in favour of the maintenance of the manufactory of Maubeuge. Having dined, the King and Princes went to a ball, which, for the purpose of admitting a greater number of persons, was given in part of the manufactory, fitted up in haste for the occasion, but nevertheless richly ornamented with arms and warlike trophies, below one of which, bearing the old flag of the National Guards of Mauheuge in 1793, were inscribed the following lines : Kenai -clue citoyen, to via ras dans l'histoire; Its respectee nos droits, ton pouvoir est sacre ; Defenseur du pays to pris part a sa gloire, Et pour tor, notre amour este une verite. The King withdrew at 10 o'clock. The next day (the nth), at 11 o'clock, his Majesty, accompanied by the Princes, and attended by Marshal Sault and Marshal Gerard, went on foot to the Glacis of the Porte de Mons, to review the troops, and distribute the rewards won by their valour. The frost having made the ground ex tirerne'y slippery, the King desired that all the cavalry should be dismounted, and refused to be escorted by the Horse National Guards or any other cavalry. The troops were drawn up in the following order : The National Guards of Maubeuge; the 2d brigade of General Janin's Division, composed of the 52d and 58th Regiments of the Line, commanded by General Georges ; the 2.1 brigade of General Dejean's Division, formed of the sth and 10th Regiment of Dragoons, under General De Latour Maubourg, and the depot of the Ist Regiment of Horse Chasseurs. The King passed along the whole of this line, which extended to the Mons road, and was bordered by immense crowds of people, who constantly greeted him with loyal acclamations. His Majesty then took Ids station at the head of the first column, and re ceived in succession all upon whom his hands were to be stow the rewards of their services and their valour. On proceeding to deliver the Crosses of the gion of Honour, the King delivered the following impressive address : " You are already aware, my dear comrades, how highly I appreciate the new glory acquired by the army under the walls of Antwerp. I congratulate you upon it, and have been anxious to give you this testimony of the joy my heart has received, and that which fills all France. Whenever the army is called upon to fight for the coun try, it cannot fail to heap new laurels of glory upon the French name. lam happy in being the interpreter of all France, and in testifying to you the admiration excited by your valour and brilliant conduct." This interesting ceremony being concluded, the Na tional Guards and troops filed off before the King. The weather was extremely fine, and the enthusiasm of the troops and of the people cannot possibly he described. The King afterwards walked to the hospital, where there are about a hundred men, who were wounded at the siege, and on the banks of the Scheldt. His Majesty went to every one, inquired into the nature and extent of their wounds, and addressed to them words of encouragement. The Duke of Orleans was also particularly attentive to them, and inquired where they had received their wounds. He recognised one man, who was struck by a grape shot in the trenches when close to his Royal Highness. A soldier of the 58th, who would not suffer himself to be carried from the trenches till he had received a second wound, was presented with a Cross of the Legion of Ho nour by the King's own hand. On leaving the hospital his Majesty delivered to the Director a sum of money, to be distributed amongst the wounded as they were dis charged. The King then entered his carriage, and pro ceeded by Bavely to Valenciennes, where early in the day all the streets were hung with national flags and of er emblems of loyalty. The 18th Regiment of the Line was drawn up in the great square, and the way from the Pa lace to the Quesnoy-gate was lined on each side by the National Guards. At the entrance into the small com mune of Marley, about 200 yards from the town, a small triumphal arch was erected, and inscribed, "La Com mune de illarly aux Dues d' Orleans et de Nemours, et aux Braves de l'Armje du Nord. Vice le Roi His Majesty was expected about three o'clock, and at about half-past two the authorities went out to meet him, and the approaches to the town were completely crowded with people. It was not, however, till half-past five that the King reached the gates, when it was too late for him and the Princes to mount their horses; consequently they en tered the town on foot. After receiving the address of the Mayor and Municipality, and delivering a firm and dignified answer, the King proceeded, attended by his sons, lighted by a general and spontaneous illumination. On his arrival at the Palace the King sat down to dinner, admitting to the table a great number of personages. He afterwards honoured the theatre with his presence, and did not retire to his apartments till ten o'clock, fatigued, but no doubt highly gratified with the reception be hail met with. We learn from Lille that the Queen of the French and the Princesses attended mass, performed in the Palace by the Rector of Catherine's on the 10th. In the course of the day several bands of music, belonging to regiments now at Lille, succe.sively played in front of the Palace. The King of the Belgians, who was confined to his room by a slight indisposition, is quite recovered. Several ex presses have been received and despatched by the Queen of the French. The King is expected here to-morrow. The Queen admits to her table in succession the principal civil and military functionaries, and the general officers of the army of the north. By the particular desire of her Majesty, one of the members of the Commission of the Palace is also daily admitted to the honour of dining with her. A private table is kept in the Palace for the officers on duty and the Commissioners. A letter of the Bth instant from Brest says—" Orders have been received to fit out three ships of the line with the utmost expedition, taking those which can be soonest got ready. We have no certain information as to the ob ject of this armament, but have good reason for believing that an expedition to Hayti is in contemplation." The Augsburg Gazette, of the Bth instant, has the following, of the 28th ult., from Ancona :—" The Go vernment is forming a new battalion and a squadron of Carabineers, to send to the Romagna, whence the Swiss troops are about to remove. It is said that a great number of troops are to be collected in the marches, and that the bead-quarters will be established at Macerata. It is still asserted here that the three French transports, which are in our port, are destined to proceed to the Morea, for the purpose of conveying the French brigade either to Ancona or to Toulon."—Metalliques, 5 per Cents., at Vienna, Ja nuary 5, were 89 9-16 ; ditto, 4. per Cents., 75g. The same paper contains the following, of the 3d inst. from Frankfort :—" From the fact of the Diet having demanded satisfactory explanations with regard to the violation of the territory of the Confederation, which took place when Marshal Gerard marched his army into Belgium, it would appear that the Diet is by no means disposed to accede to the resolution of the London Conference which incorpo rates that part of Luxemburg with the kingdom of Bel gium, but will, on the contrary, maintain the rights of the King of Holland, as a member of the Confederation, and those of the Confederation itself, from all encroach went. With regard to the report that the London Con ference would be transferred to Frankfort, nothing is known here. It is, however, not improbable, as after the settlement of the affair of Antwerp, and the retreat of the French army from Belgium, the question of Luxem burg will be the most complicated point in the differences between Holland and Belgium, and in this the Diet appears most concerned." Extract of a letter of the 7th instant from Geneva : " Our Catholic devotees and emigrants have transmitted to the Duchess of Berry, or her agents, a sum of 20,000 francs, the product of a collection made from house to house, and other deposits made with the decurii and cen turii of the faithful; for this system, invented by the Congregationists in France, has been introduced here. This is nearly double the sum which the Grand Al miwer of France has sent annually here since 1818, to promote conversions and pay a few obscure emissaries." The Breton of Nantes has the following :—" A letter of the 6th instant, from St. Etienne.de-Corcoue, states that M..Barreteau, on his return from Lege, where• he I ad he,n to pay his taxes, was attacked at 6 o'clock in the tvening, at halt a league from St. Etienne, by six Chouane, at med with muskets and bayonets. They were on the point of killing him when it was found that M. Barteteau vas not the perso❑ against whom their hatred was directed. The Chouans had mistaken him for M. Go dard, who inhabits a farm in that neighbourhoo , l, where s farmer had been assassinated a short time before. Ac oording to a letter from Bressuire, four Chouans h a d entered the house of M. Greslier, proprietor, in the canton of .Montcoutant, and killed him with two musket shots." (From the Journal du Commerce.) PARFi, JAN. 11.—THE EMBASSY OF MARSHAL MAI SON TO RUSSIA.-The sending of Marshal Maison to St. Petetsburgh has caused several Journals to indulge in con tradictory conjectures ; but there are only two modes of explaining the motives of a choice of which we must the more approve the energy, as we have few similar exam ples. There is not a single political circumstance con. netted with Russia which has occurred since Marshal Maison commanded the expedition to the Morea, which he has not probed to the bottom. He has never ne glected to point out to the Government the means of abat ing the spirit of conquest in that empire, which hitherto has appeared so powerfnl, because it has never directed its arms against any other but impotent people, or people like the Turks, reduced to insignificancy by European diplo. macy. When the dangerous position of the Russian army in Turkey, at the purchase of Varna, was known, the Nobles of Poland asked to take that opportunity of asserting their independence. There was then a symptom which always precedes Polish conspira cies or revolutions—the Nobles left the towns, and re paired to their• estates. Marshal Maison knew the dan. gers to which the Russian army was exposed, which, almost starved and diseased, could neither advance nor retreat. He knew, also, that the whole of the Diplo matic Corps laboured to save Constantinople, for if the Russians had approached, the Turks would have burnt the city, and taken tefuge in Asia. Marshal Maison pro posed to cover Constantinople with his 10,000 men, and he demanded that the French fleet should chase away those Austrian vessels which, in defiance of neutrality, supplied the Russian army. His wish was refused by the Princes, who remembered the hospitality of Alittau. The energy of the Marshal, however, gained something, and the two steamboats of the Sultan carried a part of the Diplomatic Corps to Diebitsch, to announce that England and France would regard the entrance of the Russian army into Con stantinople as a declaration of war. Diebitsch escaped admirably from the embarrassment caused by this decla• ration, by asserting that the magnanimity of the Emperor would shun any proceedings likely to he followed by the burning of Constantinople, and that he would go there him self but only as a diplomatic character, and not as a con queror. It was owing to the influence of the Marshal, that Russia was then refused a port in the straights be tween Schoulousmele and Terapaia. During his embassy at Vienna, Marshal Maison, in accord with General Guilleminot, explained to the French Government the weakness caused to Russia by the Polish war. They declared to the French Government✓ that Russia had only 95,000 men from the frontier of Persia to the fron tier of Poland. They proposed to raise in a few days nearly 400,000 men among the Persians, Carcass sians, and Moldavians, by merely sending two French men-of-war into the Black Sea. These two Ambassa dors both knew, that after the victories of the Poles, public prayers were offered up at Moscow, to prevent a second conquest of Central and Southern Russia by this valiant nation. Finally the Marshal knew that while Paskewitsch was forming his pretended bridges over the Vistula, he had frequent interviews with Krukowicky to purchase Warsaw. He had the key to the success of this expedition, and, after the pretended victory of the Rus sians, Marshal Maison opened a wound for Russia which is yet bleeding, and gives it the most serious alarm. He enlightened Austria on the intentions of Russia to retain Moldavia and Wallachia. The inscriptions On monu ments inappropriately set up by the Governors of those provinces confirmed the warnings of the Mar shal, and were the source of the mistrust of Austria. Marshal Maison pointed out to Austria the advantage of preserving in Gallicia the remains of the Polish army. Austri a followed his advice. She received the Poles, and took them into her service with a higher pay than that if . the Austrian troops. Lemberg and other Gallician towns are filled with Poles, who wait until the interest of Austria gives them an oportuuity of recommencing the war. This is one of the wrongs with which Russia re proaches Austria. She knows that she is indebted for this preservation of the Poles, so threatening near her frontiers, to Marshal Maison. The Marshal, therefore, knows Russia by heart—knows what language to use to wards her, and what means to employ. The Marshal has been the only energetic Ambassador during the last two years. It was wrong that M. Sebastiani refused to send a military officer to Constantinople, for his business there is to organize the defensive system of Turkey. If Ad miral Roussin is acquainted with military organization, he will be well placed at Constantinople. After what Wt! have said, it will be readily believed, that the Russian Ambassador at Vienna conceived a great dislike for Marshal Maison, who has the habit of wielding dip lomatic notes as well as swords. The Marshal has acted a little freely towards the Diplomatic Corps, for at his two last dinners, in 1831 and 1832, on the Fete do Roi, he had the boldness to invite two obscure French travellers, and mingle them with the gilded nobility who constitute the diplomacy of Vienna. This caused a great deal of conversation—it was said, that it was easy to per• eeive that the Marshal was not a nobleman—and that he did not know how to behave. At the last dinner the Russian Ambassador was not present, and his lady went to dine at the Prater, but the Marshal troubled himself very little about it, or about the speedy departure of the company. The young men of his suite di-played their impatience, and caressed their swords, which they would willingly have put in the places of their diplomatic plumes. The Marshal went to the Prater in his cabriolet, showing how much he relied on himself to put an end to all their manifestations. In truth M. Metternich was very polite; he even honoured, with some words of conversation, the individual, with worsted epaulette, who was disdained by all the other diplomatists. At Petershurgh, as at Vienna, Marshal Maison will trouble himself very little about the unpoliteness of the Court to which be was accustomed, and the French Government would not send him to Pe tersburgh if it was only intended to speak a language agreeable to Russia. (From the Constitutionnel of Saturday, Jan. 12.) PARIs, JAN. 11.—The fohowing letter has been posted at the Lloyd's Francais:— " BRUSSELS, JAN. 10.—You must have seen in the Belgian Journals, that an Austrian ship which had re mained in the basin of Antwerp during the siege, having attempted to go down the Scheldt, was stopped at Lilo by the Dutch, and that an intimation was given to the Captain, that no ship would be allowed to as• tend or descend the Scheldt. It was in conformity with an order received from the . Hague. I have learned to-clay that this circumstance was the result of a misunderstanding; that M. Verstalk Van Suelen, the Dutch Minister for Foreign Affairs, did not intend to apply this measure to any but English and French ships ; . and that by way of reprisal for the em bargo on his ships, and the blockade of the Dutch coast. This explanation, which is unknown to everybody here except five or six persons initiated in the mysteries of di plomacy, will, I believe, be made public in two or three days. It is not doubtful that it will cause a great sen sation and give much pleasure, because to exclude Eng land from the navigation of the Scheldt, is not shutting it, but leaving it open in principle, only making an exceptio❑ by way of reprisal." The evacuation of Belgium by the French troops, says the IV uremburg Correspondent, will probably lead to the withdrawing of the Prussian army of observation now cantoned along the banks of the Meuse. The taking of the citadel of Antwerp is too recent for sufficient time to have elapsed to receive orders on this subject from Berlin. Private letters from Berlin and Vienna inform us that the Ambassadors of the several Powers have vary frequent meetings in these two capitals, and that the project of a general reduction of the military force has been for some days again under consideration. On the one hand the immoveable firmness of the Kiug of Holland impedes the possibility of an amicable arrangement by diplomatic means ; on the other, the desire decidedly manifested by the Great Powers to maintain the general peace, dimi nishes the chances of war, and paralyzes the hopes of all those parties that wish for trouble and disorder. (From the Quotidienne.) PARIS, JAN. Cordovd, who exercised the functions of Spanish Charge d'Affaires at Berlin, and who Istely passed through Paris, has just been appointed Spanish Ambassador at Lisbon, in the room of M. d'Acosta Montealegere. It seems that it is the Duke de San Fernando who will succeed M. d'Olalia at Paris. It is affirmed that M. de Broglie has been much alarmed at the measures taken by Holland, respecting the navigation of the Scheldt, and, in the absence of the President of the Council, he has had a conference with the Prussian Ambassador: it is added, that be was not satisfied with M. de Werther, who gave evasive answers to his complaints. A courier, sent horn Loudon by M. de Talleyrand, has not allayed the uneasiness of the Doctrinnaire Ministers. Those despatches, it is said, announce the prolongation o' the visit of M. Pozzo di Borgo to London. It is affirmed that the King of Holland, rejecting the proposals made by France an 4 England, has declared that he will no longer treat except through the medium of Prussia ; and that it is to commence the negotiations .hat M. de Werther has so often met our Minister for Foreign Affairs within these two days. M. Ed. de Bussiere, Principal Secretary to the French Legation at Vienna, arrived at Paris ye•terday. Letters from the frontiers of the North speak in strong terms of the marches and countermarches which the regi ments have been made to undertake during these two months. To form the battalions of Grenadiers and Vol tigeurs united, four chosen companies were taken from each regiment of the line, and two from each regiment of light infantry. Several of these regiments were at Lyons, Grenoble, in the Alps, and the South, and consequently 200 leaguis I rom the northern frontiers to which their companions were ordered. They had scarcely marched for their des. tination when they received orders to return to their re spective garrisons; that is to say, they will have had to travel for the good pleasure of Messieurs the Doctrinnaires 300 or 100 'e igues, without rest and with empty pockets, their clothes in tatters, and shoes without soles. M. Legendre, the senior and the most celebrated of the geometricians of Europe, died on Wednesday last. His loss will be greatly regretted by the friends of the sciences. CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES—SITTING or JAN. 12. 111. Berenger (one of the Vice-Presidents), took the chair at 25 minutes past 1 o'clock. The proces-verbal was read and adopted in presence of 3 very small number of deputies. The Chamber then proceeded to hear reports on a va riety of petitions, the great majority of which were totally destitute of general interest. A petition from the master fishers of Toulon, complaining of the injury which they sustained in consequence of the invasion of their fisheries by foreign fishers, was referred to the Minister of the Marine and the President of the Council. _ _ In the interval between two reports on petitions, M. Martin (du Nord), by permission of the Chamber,brought up the report of the committee charged to examine the proposition of M. Salverte relative to the deficit of Kes ner. The committee disclaimed giving any opinion on the question of responsibility, but as it agreed with Al. Salverte that an inquiry should take place, it recommended that a committee should be appointed to present such a resolution to the Chamber on the subject of the deficit, and the responsibility which may arise out of it, as, atter an examination of all the circumstances and evidence, it should deem advisable. Some discussion arose as to when this report should be taken into consideration, several Members of the centres wishing it to be deferred until the termination of the dis cussion of the municipal law, but the Chamber, on being consulted, fixed Saturday next for the discussion. The reports of the Committees of petitions were then resumed. On the subject of a petition from a physician at Cou• t 'flees, praying that physicians might be exempted from the payment of the patente, or license-tax, or else that advo cates, notaries, and huissiers might be subjected to the same payment, iIM. Thouvenel, Prunelle, and Lerrall (all belonging to the medical profession), excited the laughter of the Chamber by the energy of personal convictio❑ and feeling with which they supported the prayer of the peti tion. M. Dupin, in a few words, eloquently pointed out the difference in the situation a physicians, who had a legal remedy for the recovery of their fees, and that of ad vocates, who would he scouted and spurned by their bre thren if they were not always ready to give ther gratuitous assistance when requisite, or if they ever attempted to compel payment of their fees. The petition was referred to the Ministers of the Finances and of the Interior, and also ordered to be deposited in the bureau des renseigne omens. SITTING OF JAN. H. M. Dupin took the chair at 1, but as there were not deputies enough present to proceed to business, the sitting was suspended until a few minutes before 2. After the proces verbal had bee❑ read and adopted, M. Andre Kwchlin, a deputy new elected, took the oath and his seat. The Chamber then resumed the discussion of the ar. titles of the bill for regulating the departmental or ganization. According to the arrangement made at the close of the preceding sitting, the question as to whether the elections for the General Councils should take place in Assemblies of Arrondissement, or in Assemblies of Cantonment, was taken into discussion. M. Charles Dupin and M. Emmanuel Pouffe argued in favour of the Assemblies of Arrondissement. M. Foy and M. Conturier in favour of Councils of Cantonment, and M. De Podinas in favour of a system founded on the agglomeration of several cantonments, in cases where the population of each separate cantonment was insuf ficien- to render it of consequence enough to have a separate assembly. The arguments adduced were mere repetitions of those previously advanced. The Cham ber, by a small majority, decided in favour of As semblies of Arrondissement, but it was understood that this decision was to be taken in the most general sense, and that the questions of—whether there should be one or more assemblies in each arrondissement ; and whether the arrondissements should be taken as arrondisse ments of a sub-prefecture, or as electoral arrondissements, were not decided by it. On these points an immense variety of amendments had been presented, by M. Boudet, M. Gaetan de la Rochefoucauld, M. Viennet, M. Du realt, and others; in consequence of which the Chamber, after hearing those lion. Deputies, decided, on the sugges tion of M. Gillon, that all the amendments should be referred back to the committee to arrange and make a fresh report on them. The discussion was then continued on the third section of the bill, which involved questions wholly unconnected ith those referred back to the committee. Article 23 declares that there shall never be two indi viduals bearing to each other the relation of father, son, brother, father-in-law, son-in-law, or brother-in•law, members of a General Council, or a Council of Arrondisse ment at the same time. M. Dumeylet, M. Fulcbiron, and M. Pelet, opposed this article as unnecessary, since the electors would be sufficient judges of the propriety of electing two relations. M. Gillon (the reporter), the Minister of the Interior, and M. Dulong supported it, pointing out the evils which might arise from too much family influence being allowed in a Council. M. Glais.Bizoin suggested that the article ought to be divided into two paragraphs, to be voted on separately, since the Chamber might probably be of opinion that, even though some inconvenience might arise from different members of the same family being members of a small as sembly, such as a Council of Arrondissement, no such in convenience would exist in so large an assembly as the General Council of a Department. This suggestion was adopted, and the question being put in that form, the Chamber adopted the restriction with respect to Councils of Arrondissement, and njected it with respect to General Councils. A long conversation then ensued between M. Thil, NI. Charamaule, M. Gillon, M. Gauthier de Rumilly, M Laurence, M. July, and M. Lherbette, relative to the mode of decidine, in the event of such double family elec tions, which individual should be excluded. As it ap peared that some of the suggestions, founded on a system of maj,rity of votes, attached themselves to the questions of the mode of voting not yet decided, the article was referred back to the Committee, and the Chamber passed to article 21, which provides that the sittings of General Councils and Councils of Arrondissement, shall not be public, that one-third of the members must he present at all deliberatiow, and that the resolu tions of the Council shall he taken by ballot when required by three Members. Some Deputies wished to adjourn the discussion till the next sitting, but the Chamber de cided that it should be continued. The dissentients, however, made eo much noise, that the President was obliged more than once to remark severely on the impossi bility of proceeding with pubic business unless a proper legislative decorum was observed. The 24th Article, as above detailed, was adopted with out opposition ; but a somewhat long, though totally un interesting, discussion arose on the next Article, relative to the admission of the Prefect and Sub-Prefect to the Councils. The Government wished those functionaries always to have the right of attending the Councils, except when their respective accounts were under discussion ; the Committee, on the contrary, wished them to be al lowed only to be present at the preliminary examination or instruction of all municipal questions, but to be excluded dui ing all actual deliberation. M. Abraham Dui ois, M. Aroux, and the Minister of the Interior, supported the former proposition, and M. Gillon, M. Eschasseriaux, and M. Pelet, the latter. Gen. Lafayette suggested that the best way of enabling the functionaries in question to attend would be to make the deliberations entirely public.--(A laugh.) The Article, as proposed by the Committee, was adopted by a large majority.—Adjourned.

DUTCH PAPERS. (PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE OF THE HANDELSELA D.) THE HAGUE, JAN. 9.—lt is said that a courier was despatched yesterday morning from the department of Foreign Affairs to London, with the answer of the Go vernment to the last proposals of England and France. This morning it is said that three couriers have been de spatched from the same department to St. Petersburgh, Berlin, and Vienna, who are the bearers of a communica tion relative to this answer. With respect to the contents of the answer nothing certain is yet known. Some per sons affirm that the substance of it is, that his Majesty is ready to enter into further negotiations as soon as the gar rison of the citadel shall be given up, the embargo re voked, and our ships restored. These, however, are only reports. THE HAGUE, JAN. 10.—I believe I can now st ite to you more positively, and on good authority, what I yester day mentioned respecting the answer of our Government to the proposals of France and England. The answer is said to be comprised in a counter-project, which insists, in the first place, on the release of our ships and cargoes in the French and English ports, and the liberty of our countrymen who are prisoners of war. From official returns published in the Calendar for 1833, it appears that, on the Ist of January, 1832, the population of our kingdom amounted to 2,454,176 souls. The births in the year 1831, were, males, 42,760 ; females, 40,310.—T0ta1, 83,070. The deaths in the same period, males, 38,210 ; females, 31 667.—T0ta1, 72,877. Excess of births, 10,193, which is an increase of nearly one-half less tha❑ in 1830. FILOINt TIIE SCH ELDT, JAN. 7.—The Euridicc,Comct, Medusa, and Proserpine, were brought to Flushing on the sth, by the Curacao, llercules, Buren Van Am sterdam, steam-boats. It seems that these vessels are going into dock on account of the frost. The Curacao is going up the river to-day to strengthen the force on the Upper Scheldt, and will be followed by several other steam-boats, which will remain there till the ice, that makes it impossible even for these vessels to navigate the river, is dissolved. _ BREDA, JAN. B.—We bear that the Polders, which have been inundated, are to be freed, at least a part of them, from the water, but so that the inundation may, if necessary, be soon restored to the same elevation as at present. JAN. 101—The Belgians have scarcely retired to the frontiers, when they again violate our territory. The gar. rison of West Wesel has even gone so far as to place a garrison of eight or ten men, during the night, at the toll house of Groot Zandest. For these two days past, there has been a passenger from the Sardinian Legation at Paris, at our out-posts at Groot Zandest, waiting for leave to pats the frontiers, which have been very strictly guarded for some days. A❑ account from Bergen-op- Z ,om says, that the Bel gian troops on that part of the frontiers, are about 5,000 men, and that they do not respect our boundary, but con tinually pass it i❑ their daily patrols.

SrocKfrotm, DEc. 28.—Captain Christianin, who came here with the assurance of a safe conduct from the Government, has been put under arrest for the present. He had offered to make important disclosures relative to a treasonable plot now under investigation ; but it is ge nerally believed that he has no import nt disclosures to make. Several members of the Antic Tribunal have expressed a doubt whether the depositions of a man of such notoriously bad character, who fled from his country in consequence of the most scandalous impositions, can be received as evidence if he really has anything to communicate. It is thought that Barons Von Duben and Vegesack will be sentenced to banishment from the kingdom. HAMBURG, JAN. 7.—The Elbe is now covered with ice, so that small sledges have passed over to Hamburg. for these three days. In the Lower Elbe there is so much floating ice, that orders have been sent to Cuxhaven to take up the buoys as far as Bosch. Accounts from Cux haven of the 4th of January say that the pilot boats sta tioned at Neuwerk and off Cuxhaven had put into the harbour of Cuxhaven on account of the ice. EXCHANGES ON LONDON.

Colonel Caradoc set out yesterday for Paris. Toe Aloniteur publishes the Decree appointing M. Legrelle, Burgo•naster of Antwerp, a Knight of the Order of Leopold, as a recompense for accepting the office in a time of great difficulty, and for his solicitude in preserving the city from the ravages of the cholera, and from the evils likely to result from the siege of the citadel. The nomination of Colonel Buzen to the rank of General was siened the day before yesterday. Major Capiaumonts, at Louvain, is going to be sent to the two banks of the Scheldt. The corps, which is 1,200 strong, will be divided into two columns, one of which will be- long to the division of General Daine, and the other to that of General Buzen. M. Clay, Secretary to the Legation of the United States of North America at St. Petersburgh, passed through Brussels yesterday, on his way to Havre, where he will embark for New York. BRUSSELS, JAN. W.-The King and Queen arrived at Tournay the evening before yesterday, and set out yes terday morning for Lille. General Evain and the French Ambassador set out for Lille this morning. The first division of the army, commanded by General Hard, is going to resume the position occupied by the di vision of General Goetbals. . . Generals Niellon and Vandemiere, at their own request, have been put on the retired list. The Liberal says, on this subject, "We have long been aware that General Niellon was subjected to all sorts of vexations, because he had not the good fortune to please a very influential person in the army. We have since learned, from different - sources, that General Niellon has been successively deprived of the greater part of the troops under his command. It is, therefore, no wonder that he, who is one of the best of our General Officers, leas thought it necessary to retire, and not to run the risk of e ndangering his reputation. BRUSSELS, JAN. 11.-The Courrier Belge has the following article : HoLLAND—By ExenEss.—We learn from the Hague, says the Handelsblad, in a postscript, that the answer of the Government to the last proposals of France and Eng ind was despatched on the 9th of January, and that it consists of a counter project."—Brussels Papers, Jan. 12. ANTWERP, JAN. 9.-Yesterday evening there were still 40 wounded Dutch in our hospital, one of them a subal tern officer ; the generosity of the visiters to them does not relax, and all possible care is taken of them. We regret that in the midst of the acts of humanity practised to wards them, we must notice the false and inhuman zeal of some priests, who watch for the moment when the Pro testant wounded are at the last gasp, to preach to them and convert them to the Catholic religion. One of the lists of subscriptions for the Dutch wounded and prisoners at Antwerp has at this moment 209 signa tures, and the amount is 4,200 francs. We learn that the subscription at Ghent is about 5,000 f. ANTWERP, JAN. 10.-There was a report yesterday that the inhabitants of Antwerp would soon be restored to the rank of citizens by the cessation of the state of Liege. This benefit, or rather this act of justice, was announced for the 15th of this month, when King Leo pold will return to Brussels from his visit to France. Should this news he confirmed, we hope we shall at the same time have to congratulate the inhabitants of a mighty city on the revocation of the same odious measure, the ri gour of which they have deserved still less than we have. _Antwerp Journal, Jan. 11. GHENT, JANUARY 9.—Messrs. Couvieur, Van Mal degheen and Emile de Roy, who were imprisoned in the citadel, have been set at liberty, on giving security to appear when called on by the Military Judges. Last night M. Michael de Brialmont was taken out of his bed by the Commissary of Police, Versluys, and conveyed to prison. General Neillon had caused a great display of military force round the house in which he esided.

CONSTANTINOPLE, DEC. 20.-Notwithstanding the asurance given by Reuff Pacha that he would be able to defend the strong position of Konish till the arrival of the Grand Vizier, he was obliged by the disposition that ma nifested itself among the inhabitants or that city to aban don it a few hours before the approach of the Egyptians, and to commence his retreat to Akschebir, where the Grand Vizier had, meantime, arrived, so that a great part of the magazines and baggage was abandoned to the enemy. The Grand Vizier had scarcely arrived at Aks chebir when he undertook a reconnoisance with 10,000 cavalry, to ascertain the strength and position of the enemy. The only result seems to have been to make the Grand Vizier resolve to assemble his whole force about Akschebir, to oppose the enemy. Meantime, ❑ot only have some cities on the flank and van of the Egyptian line of operations—as C. sa.rea, Juzgat, and others—declared for Ibrahim, but there have been dis• turbances at other places—for in•tance, Kasta.mboll and Senope, which were, however, quelled. The Turkish fleet is still in the Dardanelles, where Tahir• Pacha will soon bring to the arsenal here those ships that are in want of repair. The Egyptian fleet, by the last account, was still at anchor in the harbour of Soda. The greatest tranquillity and order prevails in the ca pital, though some discontent is caused by the dearness and scarcity of several articles, such as rice, oil, and soap, that used to come from the provinces occupied by the Egyptians. The Sultan and his Court have removed from the summer Palace of Beglorhey, on the Asiatic side of the Bosphorus, to the winter residence of Tschiragan, on the European side. Baron V. Marline, the new Prussian Ambassador, ar rived on the Sth from Leghorn. _ . _ The plague has abated so much within these few weeks, in consequence of the cold weather, that we may exp-et it vholly to disappear in a short time.—Austrian Observer, Jan. 1. OPORTO. (From the Cronica Constitucional of Jan. 3.) OroirTo, DEC. 24.—The enemy's batteries have for some days past saluted the arrival of Don Miguel in the camp of the besiegers, and fired a great number of bombs and balls against us. The sight of destruction must be most grateful to the chief of the destructive party, which approaches the city of Oporto, to see it reduced to ashes; but happily it will not be so. It is certain that while the Infante was reviewing one of his corps near Villa Nova, a ball from one of our batteries passed close to him, and that the Usurper, as soon as he heard the whizzing of it, or dered the review to stop, and marched to Grigo, where he was not expected so quickly, leaving the dinner which one of his adherents had prepared for him on the right of this heroic city. Orowro, JAN. 2.—Gen. Solignac, whose arrival was anxiously expected, arrived in this city yesterday, and was received with the greatest satisfaction by his Imperial Ma jesty the Duke Regent. " OPORTO, JAN. 3.—L;eutenant.General Baron J. Baptiste Solignac having offered me his services in the cause of my august daughter, Donna Maria 11., Queen of Portugal, and in the restoration of the rights and liber ties of the Portuguese nation, and I being desirous of tes tifying my sense of such generous sentiments, and of the valour and experience which have, for so many years, acquired him the most merited military reputation, I have t'.ought fit, in her Majesty's name, to promote the said Lieut.-General Baron J. B. Solignac to the rank of Mar shal of the army, and appoint him Major-General of tic army under my immediate command. The said Marshal will in this quality immediately proceed to organize the head-quarters as he shall judge best for the service, and will propose to me the officers to be employed at the same head-quarters.

The civil functionaries and state pensioners hive re ceived no pay for 39 months. The arrears of the officers' pay on active service amount to 10 months, that of the soldiers to three, and in many in‘tances to five months. The arrear of pensions paid to retired officers and others from the " Mont de Piete" amount to nearly six years— no payments having been made since March, 1827. The army is supplied by means of what they call em bargoes," by which the people are not only robbed of their goods fur the service of the troops, but forced to find the means of conveyance, and on delivery of the articles thus seized, they are forced to decline receiving payment by the police and territorial magistrates, when their names are inserted in the Gazette as voluntary donors. If they in sist upon payment, they are termed " Malhados" (an op probrious epithet applied to the Constitutionalists), im prisoned, and their property sequestered. The army is thus clothed : —The Intendant of Police, by a decree of Don Miguel of the 21st of November last, obliged all the woollen-drapers, tailors, and slop-sellers, to give 75 yards of cloth each, to convey it themselves to the military arsenal, and to pay Sd. each for receipt of delivery. At the same time all linen•drapers and haberdashers, Sze., were ordered to furnish 150 varas (IS7I yards) of linen each. All this was effected in 21 hours, and those who have not complied are mulcted for double the amount, and their goods sequestered. The tailors were then ordered to make the clothing gratis. The Board of Commerce at the same time, by means of a commission, and by virtue of an avizo from the Conde de Lourencao, levies 200,000 milreis (40,000), by means of an assessment, which includes all those thus robbed, and the most insignificant huxters, journeymen, &c. The state of public opinion is such, that the troops in garrison in the capital remain under arms all night, from the dre id felt by the Government of the people. No boat is allowed to approach the ships of war in the Tagus, by day or night. The fishermen are not allowed to go out to fish. The provision shops are closed at sunset, and the streets are deserted except by police, Realistas, Crcetes, and beggars. We have received accounts from Charleston to the 19th ult. inclusive, by the Nimrod, arrived at Liverpool. The proclamation of President JACKSON had been received there, and had of course excited extraordi. nary attention. The Nullifiers, nothing daunted by the hostile demonstrations of the General Government, were as violent as ever. The Unionists had, however, t tken advantage of the opportunity to endeavour to arrest the progress of disunion. They had got up a declaration against the projects of the Nullifiers, and it had received the signatures of very nearly 200 of the first men in the State. The State Legislators of the different States had assembled, and issued declarations in favour of the Gene ral Government, which they were determined to support in defence of the Federative Union. Business was dull at Charleston when the Nimrod sailed. The next ac counts from Charleston will be important. The venerable Earl of EGREMONT'S con valescence is the subject of general congratulation amongst the professors of modern art, of which his Lord ship is a liberal patron. The noble gallery at Petworth, besides vast treasures of ancient art, both in painting and sculpture, contains modern works for which the Earl has paid artists now living, and others recently dead, very large sums. The heir presumptive to his Lordship's vast estates in the counties of Sussex and Somerset, is the Hon. PERCY CHARLES WYNDHAM, Secretary and Clerk of the Council of Barbadoes (duty performed by deputy), who, at the advanced age of 75, is unmarried, which leaves the succession open to Captain GEORGE WYND HAM, of the Royal Navy. The Reform Bill has been ascribed to the declaration of the Duke of WELLINGTON. It was a mis take : Sir THOMAS LETHBRIDGE, Sir THOMAS Good s, and the country gentlemen preceded him. When they raised their voices against extravagance, which for twenty years they had sanctioned, then was the battle turned in fa vour of the Reformers. In their- pockets did they feel, and in the bitterness of their feeling exclaim against the former gods of their idolatry.— Westminster Review. A NEW RAILROAD.—It is with no small satisfaction that we have perused the prospectus of a pro posed line of railroad, to be called Cornwall Central Rail. read, extending from the deep water in Falmouth Harbour, at Adevora Vear, near Ruan, to the ninth mile-rtone on the Bodmin and Truro road on Tregoss Moor, with a branch to Roach, which appears to offer many advantages and a profitah!e investment of capital to those who may embark in the undertaking.

The answer of the King of HOLLAND to 0 . 1 project of Convention by France and thn country, was received yesterday by Lord PAC MERSTON, and was immediately forwarded I' Prince TALLEYRAND, who is at Brighto n The answer, which is dated January gt h is precisely what we some days sip ( stated, upon the authority of a communicati c , from the Hague, it would be —conciliatory terms, but as distant as ever from accommo & tion in spirit. The King of HOLLAND, he generally insists upon his right and that of hi nation to resist all overtures, declares that be' nevertheless anxious to preserve peace by! arrangement, and that he is therefore will to negotiate (the expression of the Dutch Ali n ster for Foreign Affairs, in a demi-officl letter is, that the KING "ne demande mieux que de negocier") but will on do so with the five Powers in CO rence. The proposal of Great Britain al France, therefore, even if it were agreeable him in every other respect, is not s miscible, as coming from two Powers o r of the five, who have hitherto interfer between Holland and Belgium. The 10 submits, we understand, a counter project, wh i is so different from that of Prince TALLE' RAND and Lord PALMERSTON as to leave hope of a satisfactory settlement of the disp ol unless his Dutch MAJESTY should becol more reasonable. In consequence of the absence of Prince TA LEYRAND nothing has transpired as to the 04 taken by Lord PALMERSTON of the proposal the King of HOLLAND ; neither has any mal communication been yet made to the Cor Diplomatique on the subject of the answer. is not at all probable, however, that the couill project of the King of HOLLAND, the sole 0 ject of which is delay i❑ the hope of some eve occurring which would improve his position, be accepted. It appears by the accounts from Brussels 1 ,1 the King of HOLLAND does not intend to de the navigation of the Scheldt against a ny oti than French and English vessels. The sto page of the Austrian vessel is now said to 10 been a mistake ! Probably France and Englal will, ere long, convince his Dutch MAJES I that he has been labouring under a mistake vs l regard to their vessels. The French Papers of Saturday contain counts of the KING'S reception in the Nol which was very enthusiastic, as will be S by the extracts in another part of The Sun.
