FLANDERS AND DUTCH MAIL

ANTWERP, AriciL 5. —A law has been ob!ained to place
all the inhabitants of the ceded provinces who shall ask
for naturalization, and never to refuse naturalization to
those who shall ask first.

That this favour should be granted to the well-known
authors of the revolution, to the men implicated in it,
who, though secured by oblivion of the first, will find the
avenues to places closed against them in their own country,
is inconceivable ; or rather there will be no occasion to
grant this favour, since it is probvble that all men of this
class have followed the example of Messrs. Nothomb and
Willmar, both Luxemburgers, who have for this nine
years secured themselves in good places, against all the
chances of a revolution.

Thus, with a few exceptions, the provinces that are re-
claimed will pay salaries to inhabitants of the ceded pro-
vinces, who have no obstacles to obtaining employment at
home, but such as exist everywhere, namely, unfitness,
extravagant pretensions, or the want of vacant places ;
that is to say, all the men who are without talent or with-
out employment, will seek places in Belgium.
The great grievance of the revolution against the Go-
vernment of the Netherlands was the preference given to
Dutch over Belgian candidates for employment, yet there
was, if not a reason, a pretext for this preference; for R is
allowed that persons qualified for special employments
cannot be raised in a day, and Holland had such ; whereas
the administration by France had not given an opportunity
to acquire them. In this respect there is a complete paral.
lel in the inviting to Belgium of General Evain, Schry-
necky, Colonel Ctiapelier, &c. : and there was in the former
case a degree of equity or propriety which is wanting in
the latter. They were Belgians of the North to whom
places were given.
BRUSSELS, APRIL 6.—The affair of Mr. Barthels will
shortly come before the Court of Appeal at Brussels, the
report being nearly terminated. The same may be said of
that of M. Kate. The law authorizing the King to ac-
cept the Twenty-four Articles is not yet promulgated.
POSEN, MARCLI 24.—1 hasten to inform you that, con-
trary to expectation, there is again a prospect of the ami-
cable arrangement of the religious disputes.

While the public has been for several days guessing
what might be the contents of the Cabinet letters received
by the Archbishop, we now learn positively that he has
received an invitation to repair immediately to Berlin, and
that he will set out as soon as the Easter holidays arc
ended.

VIENNA, Mallen 28 —News from Constantinople was
received here yesterday by express, stating that the Sultan
(who was supposed for a moment to be again more inclined
to peace) had remained deaf to all the remonstrances of
the Foreign Ministers, and was fully resolved to have the
Egyptian army immediately attacked, so that it is probable
that hostilities between the Porte and Mehemet Ali may
have commenced..

Though this news, which, if confirmed, must be of the
highest importance, is contrary to the communication from
Constantinople, which we published yesterday, as well as
to the intelligence published by the Semaphore of Mar•
seilles, we think it our duty to give the news as we have
received it from Vienna from a Correspondent, who is
generally well informed, especially as the letters from
Constantinople and Alexandria during the last six months
has prepared us for such an event.

AMSTERDAM, APRIL 9.—lt seems that the Russian
Crown Prince will visit this city on the 10th of this month,
and on the following day the Prince will visit Ziandam,
which is so p,,culiarly interesting. to the Russians, end then
return to Amsterdam, which he will probably quit on the
12th.

THE HAGUE, APRIL 2 —The Grand Duke dined yester-
day with the King, but merely in private, no persons be-
ing invited but the Ministers. The Prince is a very en-
gaging young man, and in his manners quite like the Em-
peror Nicholas. This morning he rode out with his uncle;
the Prince of Orange, and visited the museum of pictures;
curiosities, &C.

Today there was a grand dinner at the Palace of the
Prince of Orange, at which all the members of the Royal
Family, and a great number of persons of distinction, in-
cluding those in the suite of the Grand Duke, were present.
It is probable that the Prince may remain here till the
20th of April.
Prince and Princess Albert leave Berlin to-day to be
present at the entertainments that will be given iu honour
of the Grand Duke.

CLE VES, APRIL 2 —Tranquillity is entirely restored here,
so that were not the late riots the subject of great conver-
sation, no trace would be found of them. The 120 In-
fantry and Lancers who came here to restore order, were
more than sufficient for that purpose. Thirty-eight per-
sons are arrested. The investigation is proceeding with
great diligence. It is said that many more persons are to
be arrested. It is likewise said that we are to have a per-
manent garrison, and a battalion of 400 men of the 15:h
Regiment is expected in a few days. It seems as if dis-
turbances were apprehended in some places in the neigh-
bourhood of Cleves, against which precautions are taken.
In Geldern alone there is a garrison of 800 men.
Tue HAGUE, APRIL 3.—We now learn that the Grand
Duke of Russia and their Royal Highnesses the Prince
and Princess of Orange, and Prince and Princess Fre-
derick, with the hereditary Prince and Princes Alexander
and Henry, will set out for Amsterdam on the 15th of this
month.
rxIL 5. —Their Royal Highnesses Prince and Princess
Alfred arrived here this morning early from the Hague.
Luxe/alma°, MARCH 29.—The answer of his Majesty
the Grand Duke to the Address of the Committe of the
citizens has caused much joy here, which is enhanced by
the assurance that we have received from another quarter
that the time is at hand when measures will be aken to
effect the admission of our Grand Duchy into the German
Commercial League in order to unite the interest of the
extreme frontier provinces more closely with that of the
mother country. Thus a ray of hope appe rs for the
recovery of our prosperity, which has greatly declined
of late.

13nEne3, Aran, 4.—Lieut.-General Vander Cape Hew,
the new Governor or Maestricht, passed through this town
yesterday, avid after a short visit to General Chasse pro-
ceeded on his journey to Maestricht.
