DUTCH PAPERS'.

THO HAGUE, MAY 13. Count Vanden Deyn Vats
Maasdam has arrived hero from Stuttgard, where his Faac-
cellene.y has been at the marriage contract of his Royal
Highness tne Hereditary Prince of Orange. It is affirmed
thai the marriage will take place on the 18th elf June, the
anta%crsarr of tho battle of Waterloo. It added that the
fetes at Stuttgard on this occasion will continue a whole
• week.
We learn that a general subject of conversation at
Brussels is a speech delivered by M. Duruortier, at the
entertainment given to him and to M. Gendebien, by the
students of the University. It even appears to bo intended
to call on M, Dumortier in the Chamber to pro-
pose that the Ministers shall be impeached because,
according to - his assertion i.s the said speech, they
were much more worthy of death than the Miniswrs
of Mary of burgundy. l f M. Dumortier does pot pa•o_
pose this impeachment he is to prove that what he said
was merely idle talk, the effect of intoxication, or vanitv.

TUE QUEEN.—" The Queen ha,.: done it al'
Yes, it is to her firmness and magnanimity—it is to her
der:ision of character, and the nobility of her nature, that
Ireland owes her political salvation—that we ia3 relieved
from the intolerable and flagitioui domination of a foul, a,
heartless, a corrupt, and sweltering faction, that panted for
the opportunity of crushing the country under the wht.els
cf its Juggernaut. "The Queen has clone it all"—the
victory is Victoria's, and her's alone, Honour to the
Queen ! There is not a wanly heart in her dominion that
will not bound with exultation at the conviction—now
made manifest to the world—that one so young, an inno-
cent, encompassed round about with the snares of the
artful, menaced by the machinations of an ungodly oli-
garchy, and left without advisers, for she had none,
she c:,,uld not have any in the crisis—had the con-
rage, the characteristic courage of her race, to ask
counsel of her own breast and having seen and
felt that response was sound, to act upon the impulse at
once, and at once to decide. There is not, we say, a
high-minded man in her dominions who will not exclaim
that she has done well—that she has acted as became the
Sovereign of a free people—resolved herself to be free in
her domestic relations. There is not a woman in the
world who will not pronounce her glorious name with rap-
ture—save and always excepting these ladies who looked
forward to a Court life, and to the precedence and influence
which the immediate servants of the Sovereign are sure to
exercise in high female society. These ladies, and their
immediate connections and friends amongst the oligarchy,
are mortified beyond measure. But every gentlewoman
of high station, unconnected with what are called the
fashionable Tory circles—every woman of high spirit,
every rank and grade of society—every woman of good
and honest feelings, will love the Queen in her heart of
hearts, for the quiet, but glorious and decisive victory
she has achieved over her enemies, by the simple dad
firm exercise—not merely of her own prerogative, as
a Queen of Eng:and, but as a woman, the preroga-
tive of choosing her friends, and living in the cieele of
those associates with whose converse she was pleased. Ho •
nour to the Queen ! To her subjects in Ireland the vic-
tory is, indeed, a glorious relief from those terrible anti-
cipations with which they were oppressed at the advent of
the Tory rule—or, as in this country it would be, the
Orange regime of a faction maddened by their long ex-
clusion from office. That faction, we need not remind the
readers of this Journal, had declared their intention, un-
der the guidance of Alienus Lyndhurst, anti in accord-
ance with their own base and .vindictive pe.ssions, to rule
us with a rod of iron. They declared it, they avowed it,
they gloried in it. They put down in print, and pub-
lished it, and we took occasion to re-publish the naanleito
in our last, for the edification of all our liege Lady's
subjects in this part of her dominions. From the infamy
of such sway—from the horror of such rule, we are sated.

THE QUEEN.—Unless her Majesty were al-
lowed the exercise of this slender discretion—a privilege
which the poorest wretch outside of a workhouse enjoys_.
she would be no better than a state prisoner in her own
palace, and it would follow that the Sovereign of Great
Britain would be the only slave within her own dominions.
The fate of other Princesses, when entrusted to the pro-

jesty in stipulating so earnestly for the continued society
