BRUSSELS, MAT 15.
Yesteritiy afternoon en extraordinary courier ar-
rived here from Rome : he weld to the residence of
his Excellency the Director-General of the affairs
of the Catholic religion, and immediately afterwards
proceeded to the Hope.
It is said that his Majesty intends to make a tour
in the southern provi.sces previously to the openitig
of the Session of the States General at Brussels.

FRANKFORT, MAY 12.
The affair of the holders of domains. purchased
during the existence of the late kingdom of West-
phalia, does nut appear to make any progress. All
the exertions of their agent, M. Schroeder, both at
Berlin and Cassel, have failed of producing any
satisfactory result. It is now affirmed that, con-
trary to what was generally expected, this affair
will be agaiu brought before the Diet of the Con-
federation.
BERNE, APRIL 30.
The endless differences which have divided the
Cintons of Upper arid Lower Underwald ever
since 1914, are again revising, and will seriously
occupy the D.et this year.
The inhabitaots of the lower country begin again
to protest against the act of arbitration of 1815, by
which they say they have been stripped of their
right in favour of their adversaries. The matter in
dispute is a valley of two or three square leagues,
which has been adjudged to Upper Uuderwald.
HAGUE, MAY 14.
This being the day when the lung-expected de-
bate on the 'wriest's' contribution was to commence
in the Second Chamber of the States Geoeral, the
gallerie• were crowded at an early hour. The sit-
ting opened at half-past nine. His Excellency the
Minister of State, Apprises, was present to defend
the proposed law. This new law a introduced in
consequence of the general law passed on the 12th
of Jul:, which laid down the general principles of
an entirely new sy►tem of taxation. The arguments
of the opponents of the project were chiefly, that it
was not conformable to the law of 12th of July
1821 ; that it would nut bear equally on the north-
ern and southern provinces, but that the latter
would be the most affected by it; that the
bases according to which the tax is to be levied do
not afford a just criterion of the ability of the
persons taxed ; that while it seems to be directed
against luxury, it will heir moat heatily on the
middling cla►ses. This latter argument was espe-
cially enforced by M. de Stassurt, of Namur, who
gave a very long list of the taxes already paid on
windows, doors, hearths, household furniture, do-
mestics, horse., &c. &c.
The advocates of the law, without pretending
that it was perfect, but admitting that objections
might be made, maintained that it was at all events
far iasperior to the law now to force.
HAGUE, MAY 15.
The debate of yesterday was continued 111 the sit-
ting of this morntug, and concluded in the evening
sitting.
M. Appelius having spoken at great length in
defence of the law, the question was put to the
vote, when there appeared—Fir the project, 54 ;
against it, 51 : Majority for the law, 3.
