DUTCH PAPERS.

BRUSSELS) MAY 11.—On the evening of the
6th a great calamity, took place at Namur. A
quantity of gunpowder took fire, from •what
cause is unknown, and blew up the arsenal which
stands on the bank of the Sombre, behind the
Cathfdral. The church sustained little damage,
but sixteen houses were destroyed, and several
individuals. perished.
ANTWUP, MAY 7.—The agents of the Hansc
Towns in Belgium' and their Consul at this port,
have taken possession 'of the domains the Old
Hanseatic House, which had been sequestrated
under Buonaparte's government.
'the first use which this city has made of its
restoration to liberty has been to send a memorial
to the King of France, ,intreating that the pic-
tures which were taken from our churches may
be again restored. •
ANISTEUDAM, MAY 13.—Letters from Leghorn
mention, that the commerce of that city, under
the protection of the high Allied Powers, has al,
ready recovered great activity. There was an over-
flow of colonial produce in the port•of Leghorn.

The following. paragraph, front the lifoniteur of
the 13th inst. we extract as a specimen of a happy
mixture of the French and English languages,
and of the improvement which the former is likely
to derive from a renewal of friendly intercourse
between the two countries : •

.have received, this morni:lg, French Pa.;
pers to Sunday last, the loth, which, as we.anti7
cipated, put an end to the idle rumours of a mas-
sacre at Paris, antrot the arrival of BUoNAPAKTE
at Gibraltar. 'There have been no sticit tatal com-
motions ; and BtrONAPARTE reached his new: Em-
pire on the 4th instant, where be lost no time in
hoisting his flag, upon which . the quondam
Imperial Bees are doubtless still the emblem of his .
busy disposition. Thus terminates the expecta-
tions of our patriotic wiseacres, whom one could
not meet yesterday in the streets without being
told, with a significant shake or the head, '' have
you heard of thellAssAcnn at Paris ? All is not quiet
yet!" And who is mad as to expect that all..
should yet he quiet ? Whodati imagine that in
an instant all the agitation of-the inorat and po-
litical world will subside into a profound calm?
No man of observation or of sound judgment.
AmOT4the most distingnished miracles 'performed
by Divine Power on earth was that in which the
celestial and omnipotent Voice stilled at once
the raging of the tempestuous billows, and .at his
awful word the seas Were calm, and the na-
tural elements ceased to contend., but where
are the human.meant which could work so mighty
a wonder ?: *here is the human organ that can
rrrest in its course the profess of the slightest
atom in nature ? Nowhere! How then shall'lVe
expect that there are human means by which the
still more stormy passions of mankind- can all at
once be altayed-.-that it is possible to give to
instant repose all those conflicting emotions which
for a quarter of a century have shaken Europe to
its centre--that all the active spirits that have
been engaged in these struggles, and all the wick-
ed feelings which have been baffled by their ter-
mination, shall, in an impaipable division of time,
become front fiery,, cool, from boisterous, calm,
from unruly, settled, and front evil, good ?
Much, much, Heaven he praised, has been
(lone —an almo3t miracle has already been
wrought. The little troubles which remain arc
but ripples upon the smooth wave, which so lately•
boiled with dreadful fury—our hopes are anchor-
ed, and these puny agitations threaten no wreck.
It is a proud day for Englund. She has saved her-.

In a few weeks all will 'be 'nearly as tranquil as
it the hurricane which has desolated the Earth
had never existed.

To the Sovereigns of all countries, and espe-,
cially to the Sovereign-of Prance, will remain the
difficult bnt joyful' task of healing the recent
wounds, and restoring the happiness, of their se-
veral nations. IA this auspicious labour, it re-
joices us to see the .corniality tvhich subsists
among these mighty Potentates. iNiutue.l sacri-
•fice, universal moderation, and a wise, provident,
foreseeing policy on the pL.t.t Pali: y not
selfish but general, appear to be the course which
they are pursuing ; and such a course must lead to
the welfare of each individual people, and the
common blessing of mankind.

in our Extracts from the French Papers will be
found the nomination of the,new French Ninis-
try, of which we have repeatedly taken a prospec-
tive notice in Tut; Sus. Much depends upon these
men, so critically chosen to administer the affairs
of a country, which most imperiously and pecu-
liarly requires at once a just, a liberal, a firm, a
merciful, a wise, and an upright Government.
The talents of the Premier, TALLF.YttAstp, will
not be questioned but we do not think he is very
popular with the French people. There is, how-
ever, one great recommendation to his ap-
pointMent-mone which, we doubt not, will shindy
eudettr Lim even to those who may at pre-

siastic atintirer of the British Conttitution ; an
