Their Highnesses the hlargraives Leopold, Wit-

es the youngest of them becaine of age), in
their Lordship of Zwingenberg, on the Necker, ell
taxis and Charges derived from the vassalage of the
peasants, for ever, and without any iiidenthity ; be-
caw', salt is'stated in the deed of abolition, these
charges are not adapted to the present state of civil

•Erraacr or A LETTER. FROM HOLLAND, DATED

Olat.Blla 10.

Many years ago there was at Brussels a Papal
Nui.cio, with whom eight or nine Arch-Priests could
coirrespond on the affair. of theCitholics in Hol-
land, who had no Bishops of their own. 'ln the
Revolution, tins Nuncio went to Holland, and last.
Iy to Munster, where there resided at that time
Alnaseigneurt:pawbataoi, house Prelate of the Pope,

who at the 'beginning of 1814 was kindly treated
by the King of the Netherland., and from Oust
Oat e directed the business of huts office. tie di-
rected also the correspondence with the Head of the
'Church, in :if relative to dispensations, penance,
4..c...ccurtling to the well-known fundamental con-
ablution of the Catholic Church. Even during the
short reign of Louis Bonaparte, M. Ciainbatinsi
was supported as he wished, wheiteer he warted in
any offisir the aid of the temporal Goverosneirt.
But the Government has new adopted ryutte other
pliaciples. The Catholic Ex-Priest !ironies., at
Amsterdam, has heed culled to account, being ac-
cused of a correspondence with the Papal Ambas-
sador, M. Ciambstani, and it was thus attemPled
to apply the (207th Article of the Code Napoleon,
respecting prohibited correspondence with foreign
Powers to their bpirituri Head. This proceeding
Imo excited astonishment and alarm in the Catholics
of the Netherlands, who eonstitute about three-
fourths of the population of the kingdom.
It is well known drat the Pope's Ambassador,
who is at the adllle titer Apostolic Vicar, has been
4,:isidered as the sole Bishop of the Catholics in
)lo) 111.1tand. Even amaparte, by a Decree of
istli October, 1810, ordered the continuation of
Use constitution of the Catholic Clergy, and there-
by approved their connexion with the Amniotic
Vicar. M. Kramer may contideotly appeal to this
Decree, which is of a later date than the Code,
end to the fundamental law of the kingthco of the
Netherlands. The seine spirit appear% to %hew it-
self in this *fair, which has justly excited so much
attentiori in the persecution uf the Bishop of Ghent,
Prints. Maurice of Broglio. The Chapter of Glieot
was lately desired to take upon itself the adissiiii-
attation of the Bishopric, heetAtse the Bisliep was
cut of the kingdom, arid could exercise no juris-
'fiction. But the Chapter answered, that it thought
itself hound still to look upon the Prince of Brog-
lio as the lawful 111%114.1); because the temporal
Government, according to the Cation Law, was
slut authorised to deprive kiln of his power.

For a -long brut part there have tres•ii slillerrots
Irsti account of the RUI4IIIII YetilCl, which go etrly
'ear front Alchausgel wills flour and other provisions
to the coasts of Fiuutark, and them tote iu et-
etsange doled ails.

The frw towns up this dreary !Hid extru►ive coast,
partiv-ilaily 'FromSoe and Ilaninseiterr, would nut
suffer themselves to be deprived of this trade', to
which they were besides (-with d by an Ordisrairce
of 17-57. The inhabitants of the coasts, ins the
other hand, wished nailer to trade initneilirdely with
1:114 lurelgo ai4tore, as they would thus avoid the
uf tinie caused by their bring obliged to bring
their tisli io those 'owl's than to exchroge thew fur
chre pru%Nlooo. Err Ilur.ut infriiigetutu:s of the la►r,

coritinned complaints of the towns which considered
themselves as iiijured, took place in consequence.
To order 'to put en end to both, a new Ordinance
was issued on the I Ith ult. which allows *II
Russian vessels to trade with the whole west coast
of Norway, as far as it belongs to Finmark, upon
condition of their lira lying for four days in the
ports of the towns above mentioned, and there
offering their gouda fur sale.
It is only in the southern provinces of the king-
dom that the harvest hiss turned out pretty well, in
the middle said northern provinces it can scarcely
be called tolerably good, on account of the early
night frosts, so that the King on his return from•
Norway, was induced partly to give to many pa-
rishes time seed corn fur the autumn, and partly to
let them have it on very low terms. These un-
lesppy circumstances cause again a large import*.

tiooOf foreign North end rosuy vessels with grain
slrestly begin to urrive iu our ports, which hithertb
atbk very high prices.

COPENHAGEN, OCTOBER 20.

The harvest has been but indifferent b Urn•
mai k, but as the prices are high, and no prospect
of a decline, the farmer is on the whole pretty well
on; though list year was aiore favourable for him•

DR DEN, uc•roesn 20.
The transit trade has within two years taken its
course through this country, whereas the goods
went formerly by the high mountainous roads to
Buhen►ia. They now all come down the Elbe, and
are forwarded from this city. This business, which
is very considerable, causes our trade to be pretty
brialc.—(Nurearberg Correspondent, Hooter 31.)
