DUTCH PAPERS.

SECOND CHAMBER OF THE STATES-
GENERAL.
THE HAGUE, APRIL 2.

The Minister for Foreign Aff►irs addressed the
Chamber in a discourse of which the following is a
substance

The Minister of Finance having, in the course of
the week, stated the sum requisite for the public
expenditure, arid the means of providing for it, the
Chamber has to complete information on the sub-
ject, especially the reasons which call for such ex-
penceS fur, the army, and the defence of the frontier
fortresses. His Excellency had, two months ago,
expressed his hopes of a favourable result of the
negotiations with the five great Powers : those
hopes have been fulfilled by the Protocols Nos. 11
and 12, which regulate in an equitable manner, the
chief points of the separation of the two divisions of
the kingdom, viz. the demarkation of the frontier,
and the shale to be borne by each in the debt. The
King intimated his assent to these terms, and reason-
ably expected that every thing would soon be an..
ranged. He observed, that farther armaments in
Belgium were now without an object, and that they
should cease, in order that the armaments on our
side might also be put an end to.
Contrary to expectation, no progress was made
since the beginning of the year : all those succes-
sively invested with power in Belgium, even the
present Regent has shown no disposition to execute
the protocols, but the contrary. The Powers re-
presented in the Congress of London were treated
in a manner that could not be expected in civilized
Europe, even in the midst of war. Our territory is
continually violated by Belgian marauders, who
m ike individuals residing near the frontiers feel all
the hardships of war. The communication with
Maestricht is in sonic degree open, but the Belgian
tr tops have by no means retired to the positions
which they occupied before the 21st of November,
1830 ; nay, the Belgians have gone further, and
publicly propose to renew hostilities with us. The
Regent has sworn to a Constitution which is at
variance with the rights of Holland, and with the
protocols of the Five Powers, ant in his installation
issue :1 a proclamation which shows a manifest dis-
regard to all that has been done.
His Excellency submits to the Chamber the do-
cuments which show the course of affairs, and prove
his Majesty's earnest wish to arrive at some final
settlement, that he may alleviate the burdens which
press so heavily on Holland. However, his Ma-
jesty had no choke but to provide for the security
of the fiontieies, and to deprive the insurgents event
of the notion that they might attack us. Half
measures would not do. It was necessary to ex-
tend the measures of defence to ail the points
threatened to the whole of the line of our fortresses.
For what would have happened had those lawless
bands penetrated into the heart of our country ?
Would they not have caused us injuries far greater
than the burdens which we now have to bear ? His
Majesty deeply regrets having bad no other choice.
The present aspect of the citizens and inhabitants
of some States, baffles the calculations of politicians,
and has great influence on the question of peace and
war. The dissolution of society, the overthrow of
legitimate authority, are no longer rare occurrences.
Agitators, aiming at their own aggrandisement, find
in their incessant attempts short-sighted nations
ready to throw away the good which the laws insure
for a sudden change, by which they think to obtain
continual amelioration. Among those nations Bel-
gium has the that rank. Its dangerauS neighbour-
hood obliges us to provide for the defence of our
southern frontiers against a licentious populace, as
we defend our western frontier from the fury of the
ocean. Perhaps, however, the hour is not distant
when the Powers may think of opposing with .
vigour the unjust pretensions of the Belgians. At all
events, the Government of Holland must not cease
for a moment to take all measures required to main-
tain the honour, the independence, the inviolability
of our territory and its financial interests.—Duleh
Paprs, April 5.
