DUTCH PAPERS.

Tag fiaa.ug, APRIL 13.—Last Friday the Court went
into mourning for four weeks on account of the death of
his Royal Highness the Grand Duke of Baden, and yes-
terday also, for four weeks, for the Grand Duke of
Hesse Darmstadt.
It is affirmed, that his Majesty the King will soon pay
a visit to Amsterdam, and stop there a few days. The
works at the entrepot at Antwerp are prosecuted with
great diligence ; the foundations of the buildings are fur
the most part already laid.
One of our journals says that M. Van de Weyer has
ceased to have any share in editing the Courier des Pays
Bas.

Private accounts from Java say, that his Excellency the
Commissioner-General, Viscount des 13as de Ghissigneis,
has made preparations so as to be able to be in his own
country by the end of May.
Tiv HAGUE, APRIL 11.-When the second Chamber
of the States General again meets, it will first of all dis-
cuss two projects of law :-
Ist. For the seduction of the interest of. the bonds of
the Syndicate. 2d.. For the diminution of the number of
the Members of the General Chamber of the Accounts.—
It is said that many of the Northern Members have de-
clared against the measure proposed in the first of these
two projects, and that some of the Southern Members have
also expressed themselves unfavourable to it.
The petition of the inhabitants of Liege, for the main-
tenance of the freedom of the press, drawn up in the same
words as that of Brussels, on which the Chamber passed
the order of the day, will, it seems, give rise to some dis-
cussion. After that a project of law for correcting the
abuses of the press will be discussed. The Chamber has
likewise the following subjects before it :
I. The projects pf law on the duties upon salt, wine,
home and foreign spirits, beer, vinegar, and sugar ; lastly,
those on prisons and patents, which last two will, it is said,
be put off till the next Session.
2. The project of law to provide for the expences com-
prehended in the law of the 24th December, 1829.
3. The motion of M. de Secus, for the diminution or
revocation of the penalties imposed on persons sentenced
upon the abolition of former laws ; and
4. That of M. Barthelemy respecting the regulation of
the Chamber for the execution of Article 177 of the fun-
damental law.
