FLANDERS AND DUTCH MAILS.

linussEr.s, MAY 9. —The King arrived yesterday after-
noon from his country seat, Ardenne.
BRUSSELS, MAY 10.—Several detachments of infantry
arrived here yesterday, and were quartered for the night
on the inhabitants. They are composed of men belonging
to the class of 1832, of the Ist, 9th, 10th, and 11th Regi-
ments of the line, going to their homes at the unlimited
furloughs. The detachment of the first regiment of the
line consists entirely of natives of the Grand Duchy of
Luxemburg.

The //a-;ide/sb/ad publishes some very judicious observa-
tions on the necessity of a treaty of commerce to connect
the commercial interests of Belgium and Holland.
BERLIN, MAy .—Dr. Suvkey, Senator and Syndic of
the city of Hamburg, has been here for a considerable
time, in order to make himself thoroughly acquainted with
the basis on which the German Commercial League at pre-
sent admits of negotiations with such States as are not
inalined entirely to join it; and now another Senator of
that city, M. Lutterlok, a merchant and banker, is como
to negotiate and conclude, in the name of his Government,
a commercial treaty. Every true patriot must rejoice that
the most powerful of the German commercial -cities judge
it to be for its interest to take part in a league which has
already conferred so many advantages on our common
country. It is probable that Lubeck and Bremen will
soon follow the example of Hamburg. It is equally pro-
bable that no long time will elapse before treaties are con-
cluded with the United States of North America and with
Belgium, and when these conventions shall have bean
concluded, it will doubtless be evident to everybody that
the late treaty with Holland was concluded with a regard
to the interest of Germany, and is no more a proof of the
enmity to Belgium, than a future treaty with Belgium will
indicate enmity to Holland. The Conferences that have
taken place here respecting an arrangement with the cre-
ditors of the fernier kingdom of Westphalia have led to
no result. The creditors know but too well to what Go-
vernment the failure is to be attributed.
In the daily exercises of the Artillery of the Guard, a
Turkish officer is remarked, who has obtained permission
from our Government to learn the Prussian exercise in
this manner. Three young Turkish students have like-
wise arrived lately. They are under the special protection
of the Ambassador Kicemil Pasha, and are for the present
engaged in learning the German language, to enable them-
selves, in the sequel, to attend lectures, &c.
AMSTERDAM, MAY S.—According to accounts from our
East India possessions, dated rite Ist of December last
year, the enemy had 86 killed and 30 wounded, in our
expedition to the south coast of Floris. It is also stated
that the Endenese have entirely submitted to the Govern-
ment, and that the Sandal-wood Island, to the south of
Strait Sapy, is likewise in the hands of our Government ;
and this result is not unimportant, because sandal-wood
will always be an important article in the trade with China.
The same accounts say that the foundation of an English
colony in De Witt's Land is proceeding, and that two
men-of-war are at Port Epnopon, in Australia, the crews
of which are engaged in erecting the establishment.
PROVINCE OF ZEALAND, MAY 6.—The military feud is
not yet reduced in any part of this province. In the fourth
and fifth districts everything remains on the same firm foot-
ing, and the squadron in the Scheldt has not undergone any
change.
TILBURG, May 7.—We hear that aa soon as the ratifica-
tion of the treaty between the Netherlands and Holland
are exchanged, the army will take up a position further
back, and the extreme frontiers will be without troops.
Then too, or at the least soon afterwards, a new organiza-
tion will be made, according to which the infantry will con-
sist of twenty regiments of two battalions each. Some
battalions of artillery will be disbanded, and a battalion of
coast artillery will be formed.

AMSTERDAM, MAY 10.-We learn that his Imperial
Highness, the Grand Duke Alexander, will stay about a
month in London.

Tus HAGUE, MAY 9.—The Prince of Orange arrived
here on the 7th from Tilburg. His Royal Highness the
Hereditary Prince of Orange arrived at Stuttgard on the
4th of May, and alighted at the King's Palace.
FRANKFORT, MAY s.—The latest accounts from the
Rhenish Prussian provinces mention with great pleasure
the great relaxation in the military measures lately taken
by the Government. Of the troops assembled in those
provinces and Westphalia about 25,000 men are already
sent to their homes, which will be a great advantage to ag-
riculture and manufacture. This, too, shows that. there is
no room to fear an interruption of peace, even from the
approaching occupation of the territory to be given up to
Holland.

THE LORD LIEUTENANTCY OF NOTTING-
HAMSHIRE.-The dismissal of the Lord of Clumber has
given no less satisfaction to the country at large than it has
to the county which is more immediately interested in his
removal. More than a week has rolled on, but no one has
taken any notice of the subject in Parliament; not one of
the Tories in either House has ventured to moot the mat-
ter, or even to insinuate that Ministers were not perfectly
justifiable in the course they adopted. The Duke of New-
castle has long treated the county of Nottingham as his
own, and as such he has done what he liked with it. All
the deputy-lieutenants, all the officers of the militia and the
yeomanry, are nominated or appointed by him; the repre-
sentation of Newark he has treated as his own personal
property, and, with the single exception of Sergeant
Wilde, he has long ruled supreme, none daring to
dispute his will. In North Nottinghamshire, Mr.
Houldsworth and Mr. G. Knight owe their seats
to his potent influence. South Nottinghamshire
is equally devoted to him, and wears the chains
of the Dukery, which the fifty pound tenant
clause effectually forged for the counties of England.
There Lord Lincoln, his heir-apparent, and Mr. Rolleston,
Colonel of the Militia, and Chairman of the Quarter Ses-
sions, suCciently attest under whose influence they are
enabled to ride over that division of the county. But the
Lord of Clumber no longer reigns paramount ; the spell is
broken ; the influence of the Lord Lieutenantcy is trans-
ferred to other hands, and we have the high satisfaction of
announcing that Earl Scarborough, the liberal-minded sup-
porter of Liberal opinions, is now the Lord Lieutenant.—
Men of Nottinghamshire I Look around you, the weight
which has long benumbed your energies, is partly removed.
e if it will not be possible for you to return Liberal Mem-
bers to Parliament at the ensuing election.—Vottinghain
Review.
