HAI%IBURGH PAPERS.

GOTTINGEN, Mmtcn 21.—The citizens decided yester-
day, by a great majority, not to elect a deputy to the As-
sembly of the Estates, convoked by the rescript of the 7th
of January 1839.

COLLE, MARCH 16.—The electors received, yesterday,
the Cabinet orders to elect a deputy is the room of M.
Schultz, who has resigned; but it is said that the order
will not be complied with, because the electors are averse
from doing anything that may be considered as an approval
of the Constitution of 1118.
BRUNSWICK, MARCH 21.—The effects of the accident
that happened to his Serene Highness Duke William, are
happily but inconsiderable, so that he is now recovered.
BERLIN, Maacit 21.—We hear that the Emperor of
Russia has purchased, for a large sum, all the household
furniture of M. de Ribeaupierre, his Ambassador at this
Court, who will soon return to St. Petersburg, and that it
is to remain as the property of the Russian Government
to furnish the hotel of the Legation.
Prince and Princess Albert will go to the Hague imme-
diately after Easter, whence they will come here in May,
and, after a short stay, go to their estates in Silesia.
Prince William, his Majesty's brother, and his family in.
tend to go in the Spring to Italy, where he will see his
elder brother, Prince Henry, after many years' absence.
Don Zea Bermudez, whose arrival here as a private
man, was mentioned a fortnight ago, is still here.
This celebrated statesman, who has been Minister Pleni-
potentiary from Spain, at the Courts of St. Petersburg,
London, and Constantinople, was detained, without
having any diplomatic character, to promote the great
work of the pacification of the Pyrenean Peninsula. We
know, from good authority, that he has important recom-
mendasion for this purpose from a great power.
HANOVER, MARCH 12.—1 t is still uncertain whether, and
when, an Assembly of the Estates can be convoked. It
is likewise doubted whether it can be convoked. Those
Deputies who protested, but not resigned, will be admitted
by the Cabinet if they would present themselves. What will
the electoral bodies do ? If many should refuse to make a
new election, as it appears likely they will, others may,
however, be induced to choose new Deputies, for fear of
injuring the interests of their respective towns. It appears
certain that if the Cabinet were to restore the Constitution
of 1819 in all its purity, which has not yet been done, the
party of the 33 would be much weakened, and the king-
dom would be placed in a legal state, which would be at all
events, preferable to that in which it now is. —Hamburg
Papers, March 26.

NEW HOUSES OP PARLIAMENT.-ANTI-
QUARIAN DISCOVERIES.—The excavation that it was neces-
sary to make in order to lay the foundation of the Riper
embankment wall for the new HOll3O, of Parliament, has
been the means of bringing to light a great number of
relics of antiquity, which have been dug up from time to
time by the workmen during the progress of the excava-
tion. The most remarkable feature of the discovery is the
great number of daggers and swords, especially the former,
that have been found, and which, from their various make
and appearance, are evidently the collection of ages. They
are of all shapes, sizes, and sorts of workmanship, from the
rudely made bunting knife or dirk, to the costly and highly
finished stiletto. There are no handles to any of them,
which is easily accounted for, as that part being made of a
less durable material has long since decayed. Some of the
blades are in high preservation, and a few which are inlaid
with gold, are almost as perfect as when first wrought. A
quantity of keys, of various sizes, and some of them of very
curious workmanship, have also been found. A variety of
old coins (principally copper), together with two or three
small Roman earthen pots, some fossils of an ordinary class,
one or two cannon balls, and several human skulls made up
the collection, which is the property of Mr. Barry, the
architect, who previous to the excavation made an agree-
ment that all curiosities, &c. found were to be given up to
him.

BELVOIR CASTLE.—The party assembled here
on visits to the Duke of Rutland breaks up at the close of
the week, the greater portion going to Newmarket. The
Earl and Countess of Wilton, Earl and Countess of Ches-
terfield, Lord and Lady Suffield, Viscount Jocelyn, the
Hon. Stuart and Lady Emily Wortley, &c., have been of
the party._

Lord Foley and the Honourable Edward Ellice
have arrived in Paris at the Hotel Bristol, Place Vendome.
