DUTCH MAIL. LunEcK, APRIL 26.—"1t is generally and confi dently asserted, that Prince' Christian is coining back from Norway, and that, finding that the kingdom is divided into two parties,• he has re solved to leave them to their fate. In this case, are pewee of the North will not be disturbed. The Swedish troops are expected to embark at Stralsund on their return home. • .v • BRUSSELS, APRIL 27.—The Swedish cavalry broke . up yesterday, to return home; - the infantry followed this morning. We hear frOm Lille that 60,000 of the Allied troops and 20;000 horses are cantoned in Picardy, Artois, and French Flanders. - It is certain that all the irregular troops of the Allies are to begin the retreat of the combined forces from.the French territory. For some days the repose of the city (says a Proclamation of Baron (i Raid, the-Com mander) has been disturbed by soldiers, who; following the impulse of personal resentment, have forgotten the sacred bond which unites, them. " XI peaceable inhabitants are desired to remain in their houses, and not expoie thenist.lves to danger, in case it should be necessary to use force to disperse the meeting of soldiers in the streets, which' is strictly forbidden: " Several corps have been sera horn nrussels, and a regi tient of Enz,lish,ltussian (or Bussian-German) fitissai•s have been called in. The dispiite has been between the Prussians, the Belgians, and the Bremen troops; several soldiers have been killed, and many others; as well as some of the citizens, Wounded." HAGVE„MAY 2.—This being the day appointed for the first meeting of the Assembly of the States , General, the Members of that Body at. pre‘sent here met in the mornin2 . , at ten o'clock, in the Pa lace of the Sovereign Prince, and took the oaths in the order of the provinces, as required by the Constitution. After taking the oaths, the Members proceeded to the Hall of the Binnenhof, appointed for the holding of their sittings, and formerly called the Treves Chamber, where the States-General of the United Netherlands formerly held their sittings ; - to which the Sovereign Prince repaired," accona ` mulled by his youngest son, and was received by a Commission of nine Members, appointed for that purpose, and being attended by.his Great Officers, Chamberlains, &c. addressed them in a long speech, in which he described the state of the country, the injuries it had sustained from the war, and the consequent necessity of applying themselves 'to ' the great work of repairing its losses, and restor - - ing its former - greatness and consequence: - The Address concludes thus : " The more important the labours are which -the regula tion of our internal concerns demandr, the more agreeable it is to be itbie to assure you, that they will not be disturbed or interrupted bY.cares for the external relations of the State. " By moderation and justice towards all, a system equally consistent with my private inclinations and sound policy, the sentiments, regard, and generous ftiendship, Shall be elkerish-. • ed, which - Foreign Powers, mid particularly Great 'Britain, have•ex'pressedi towards our country; and if the Almighty grants us his blessing, we shall have the satisfaction of see - " ing our country, sooner than so many States that bare suffer ed with us, restorer!, by unanimous zeal, to independence, to prosperity, and to the rank Which is as desirable for the in terest cif all Europe, and the stability of peace, as for our selves." His Highness chose Mr. Von Lynden 'Von Hoevelaken to be'President of the States-Gene ral during the present. Session. After this the Assembly - adjourned, and the President and Mem bers repaired to the Palace, to pay, their respects to his Highness. The Assembly' being re-opened, Mr. W. Von Pabstol Bengtrdea was chosen Gridier of the States-Gcncral. . PARIS PAPERS. IMPORTANT OFFICIAL COMMUNICATION.

Prince CHRISTIAN has been chosen King, awl will be called hereafter, CHRISTIAN FREL , ERICK the FlitsT, of No.rway.' Admiral BILLE lmssed here yesterday, from Co penhagen to Norway, with positive orders from the King of DENMARK to the Prince, to give, up Norway, with all its fortresses, &C. to Sweden, on pain of being treated as a traitor to his King • . and Country.'' By an article from Vienna, we learn, that a Con vention was actually conclu'iled by the Allied Courts (except England) with BLTONAPARTR, which he exchanges his Empire for 'Elba. We are really at a loss to account. for the lenity which has been sheen' to DUONAPARTE: History does not furnish •an instance of any one man who has inflicted so much misery upon mankind; and yet this cowardly, treacher-' 011'3, sanguinary Usurper is treated with a degree of consideration, which legitiMate Feigns have not experienced when driven from their Thrones.—The Duchies. of 'Parma, Placen tia, and Guestulla, are to be. ceded to MARIA Lours 4; and her Son is to he styled Prince of 1 PARMA and PLACENTIA. - A Dutch Mail arrived at a late hour last night. Rs contents will be found in ,another part of our Paper. A very interesting Debate took place last night iii the House of Coamons, respecting the Corn Laws. It is one of those subjects, that, in our opinion, should not ,be touched without obvious necessity; and which, .when it is touched, re quires the utmost caution, and •the most mature investigation. The object of Sir ILP,saNtn. is to allow of a free exaortation of IlTneat, and to pre vent the importation of it, until that article should have attained the price of 8 , 15., or, .according to Mr. ROSE'S statement, of 995. With respect to the exportation of Bread Corn, We do not see any very serious objection to it but it is because we think the permission- nugatory. Corn can only be exported from Great Britain to Countries where that article is dearef than it is here: Now, as the price of Corn on the Continent is, generally speaking, much lower than, it is in . fhi4 Country, 'there is no great danger of that article beiug ex ported by us. The great difficulty of the ques tion is, with regfird to the Importation. Now that Peace is restored, and the ports of the Con tinent are all open, Corn to any amount may be imported at the present importing price, and the value io reduced, as to be completely ruinous to rbe,farnier. On the other hand, if the price at which linportation is to be allowed shall be raised very high, then it is feared that the growers of Corn will always 1 - • - zarive to keep up the price very near to that at which it may be imported. It haS been asked, Why should we not take all the advantage we can of the return of Peace, and let the price of Corn tall as low as possible ? The answer is obvious : The fanner in this country; fr."-.:t the amount of his rent and of the public bur- - thefts, cannot raise his Corn so cheaply as those on the Continent . ; he would, therefore, either be un dersold in his own market by the foreign grower, or he must sell his Corn at a price that would not en able him to pay his rent and taxes. But us no mart tvould cultivate land With tie s tertainty of incurring a loss, the_ conEtwontee inevitably would be, that Agriculture would be discouraged • at borne, an i this country would be rendered coin pletely dependent ,tipqn Foreigners for the itipply of the most necessars article of human sustenance. It" is, therefore, necessary, that while the interests of the consumer are considered, those of the farmer should not be forgotten. Some protection should be afforded to the agriculture of this Coun try ; aryl we think, upon the whole, that the plan suggested by Mr. Husxissort is the most' unobjec tionable. We trust, however, that, if Parliament should deem it right to adopt some-measure upon the subject this - ession, the suggestion of Mr. Hose, respecting:the propriety of giving additional , . facilities to_the Importer, will be attended to. By an extraordinary conveyance we have com thunications from Ritzbutel, to the date of the Ist instant, in these terms , '" CUXHAVEN, Arqui 4 3o.—" We cannot postpone for an bmtr the satisfaction of informing yon by a vessel which is now under weigh, that the French Marshal in command at Hamburgh has announced his submission to Louis XVIII. and the oaths of allegiance to this Sovereign have already been taken by the garrison. " This 'event was proclaimed throughout the neighbouring cduntry by the discharge, of lot pieces of artillery front 4.lke ramparts, and the White nag is now floating above the lofty steeple of,tit. token of this revolution. !`By a Conventions, concluded by General Count Buv- NIGSEN, the Russians entered the city of Altona, and the ontworks of the fortress of 1-larnburgh were immediately to be surrendered to their possession.", • Other letters, written within siglit of the walls gf Hall by cy.e-withesses of the white sym bol on the:stimmit of St. Michael's„ confirm these acceptable accounts. • - The PRINCE REGENT is expecte , l to, hold a Council &c: this,dali at Girlton-house. At two o'clOck . }r - utcrday tire PRINCE REGENT left town for Windsor on a : visit to the QUEEN and'PEINCESSF.i. He - previously gave audiences to' the Cabinet Ministers.:. A Message from the PRINCE ItEaENT is to be" brOnght down to Parliament either thiS dav'.or on Mond a y, for r•ecommnending a further provision to be made for the DUke of'Siro.tuvoTot4. Should the PRINCE REGENT persist iri leis desire of being prestnit at the Coronation of Lou s XVIII. a Message inust be sent to. Parliament upon the subjeet',. and the S l oeereign Power will, during the absence of the REGENT, be exercised by Com mission. . Yesterday morning Lords LIVERPOOL and. 8,i.- THURST had audiences of the PRINCE REGENT at Carlton-house. The Duke of CLAnENcE, we understand; is ap tminted General of the Royal Marines, in the room of Viscount BRIDPORT, deceased. It is reported in the foreign papers that the . Allied Monarchs mean to'give Marshal BLUCHER the village of Johaunsberg; in the Rhingau, seven leagues front Ment7, and famous fur its wines. It is the same estate .which BUOVAPARTE had given to Marshal KELLFRMANN. The gallant Generals who Inave had the honour of the Peerage conferred on them, are to have suitable pensions bestowed on them, to enable them to support their dignities. The .expected visit Of his Majesty the King of PRlrssrA to this co entry, will, it is said, not take place. His Majesty did feel a .strong inclination to accompany his Royal Allies, and declared hiS intention to thateffect ; but hiS anxious cues for his family and his . peble have' prevailed over every other wish of his heart ; and the moment the great cause which brought hiin to Paris will allow his departure, his Majesty will return to Berlin, to heal the wounds of his long bleeding country. A Requisition has been delivered to the LORD AL:Yon by the proper number of Members of the' Common Council,'desiring his Lordship immedi ately to summon' a Court on the receiptof - the in— telligence that any of the Sovereigns who . propose to visit this country have arrived, in order that a grand festival may be voted to be held in Guild hall, to which such illustrious Personages may be invited. A letter was received on Wednesday from Sir Jont , vlTorE (now Lord Nippily), writacn With Iris own hand to his Lady, in order to aKord her the most unquestionable evidence of . the satistac tory'progress.of his cure. The letter is elated the 18th last, and therefore removes altogether the fears and vprehensions excited by the unfounded .statement brought by th.e transport which sailed from Passages on that day.. • ARMISTICE AT BAYONNE.-ACCMIIItS received from the lines - hetOre Bayonne inform us, that in conseqtlence of a notification to, Gen. Thou vENoT, the French. Commandant, acquainting him with the nvedts that had'taken place at Paris, he sent our a flag of truce, with a request to see the pub lic Journals and other documents, containing evi dence of the zounter-revolution. 'These (4:en milts were sent to hina ; antt, upon reading them, General r.l novv.E.NoT expressed his willingness to conform to the Acts of the Senate, and of the Provisional Goverbment,hyrecognizing the Bows- DON s, as soon as he should he called upon to 'll O so officially. In the mean time, he was willing to agree to the suspension of hostilities, but on the express condition that the besiegers should dis continue their works, othenVise he *mild . nOt cease firing on them ; for " his first duty," he said, " was the (Vence of the. fortress, with tl►e preservation of which he was charged." The information received in the British lines being considered ample authority for the discontinu ance of the works, an armistice lattl in conse quen►ce taken place. We are extremely sorry to learn, by our letters' yesterday morning from Nottinghamshire and the neighbouring counties, that the s disordds have very considerably increased ; and it is wily, under 'stood that the subject will be immediately referred - to_ the consideration of Parliament.
