HAGUE, Nov. 10.
The following is the Message sent by his Ma-
jesty to the Second Chamber of the States-
General, with the project of a Commercial Code
for the kingdom of the Netherlands :

" To accelerate, as much as possible, the introduction of a
national legislation, we send to your High Mightinesses the
project of a Commercial Code for the kingdom of the Nether-
lands, divided into projects of Law (Bills).
" This important work was originally entrusted to lawyers
• of great eminence, and well versed on this subject, who, pro-
fiting by their own experience, and by the commercial laws,
both of our own country and of foreign nations, drew up a
code, which, after the happy change in the order of things,
having been altered in some points has received the approba-
tion of the Committees, which, in the two great divisions of the
kingdom, have considered and judged of it?'
(The Message proceed x to state, that besides the two books
now presented, there was a third, but as that book relates to
matters connected with the general organization of the tribu-
nals, which is now under discussion, it is withheld for the pre-
sent, having in fact no necessary connection with the other two
books.)

BRUSSELS, Nov. 7..

SECOND CHAMBER OF THE STATES-GENERAL.
The Minister of Finance brought down the project of law,
regulating the second part of the Budget of the expences of the
kingdom for 1823. It is ranged under two sub-divisions,
amounting, the first to 15,888,380 florins ; the second to
9,6;13,579 florins. The Decree of the Governor-General of our
East India possessions for the purpose of facilitating and en-
couraging the trade of these countries, is now published at
length.: the following are abstracts of the principal articles:—
" 1. All goods being the produce of places in the Eastern
Archipelago, under the Government of the Netherlands, or in
the territory of Indian Princes, and people in amity with that
Government, may be imported into Java and Madura, entirely
free of import duties when brought by Netherland ships, or.
native vessels, placed .on the same footing, directly from the:
place where they were produced, and without touching at any
fbreign port.—But,
" 2. If brought by foreign ships, or even by Netherland or
native vessels, not direct, and not without touching at a foreign
port (as well as all other goods not comprehended in Art. 1),
they are to pay the regular duties on importation into Java and
Madura.

" 3. The general export duty on goods for Java shall be 2
per cent. ad valorem, estimated by the current market price,
whether exported in Netherland or foreign ships, or to a Ne-
therland or foreign port ; those goods.being excepted respecting
which special regulations are, or may be made.
" 4. Till the general Tariff of import and export duties in
India is completed, and according to the partial regulations al-
ready subsisting on this subject, the export duties in. Java and
Madura on the articles here below specified, shall be as fol-
low :

Camphor (Jap.), per bale

sessions,of the Netherlands in India.
FRANKFORT, Nov. 7.-7-The news from Greece is still con-
tradictory. Earlier accounts from Thessaly stated that Jussuf
Aga had arrived at Larissa with the Turkish garrison of the
citadel of Corinth, and added that the Turks and Chourschid
Pasha himself were greatly surprised at the scrupulous fidelity
with which the Greeks had observed the terms of the capitula-
tion ; but there are now accounts from Larissa, of the 13th of;
October, which make no mention whatever of the arrival of,
Jussuf Aga and the garrison of Corinth ; and it is therefore
apprehepded that the news of the surrender of that fortress,
which would be so important to the Greeks, was premature.—
If, hOiYever, it be true, as reported from Belgrade, that Chour-
schid had left Larissa and retired to Bitoglia, the Turks, who
may still be in the Citadel of Corinth, can hardly hope to be
relieved.

FRANKFORT, Nov.' 8.-Ve now know by authentic ac-
counts from Marseilles of the'2.7th October, that the Volunteers
,or Philhellenes have met with no -.hindrance, whaieitr in em-
barking fOr Greece. The whole story from Freiburg. has. no
other foundation in truth than that some, who lately were on
their way were refused. admittance to the French territory, on
the supposition that the embarkation. for Greece would not take
place.
FRONTIERS OF ITALY, OCT. 28.—8 y the post of to-day
we received the latest accounts from Greece, by priVate com-
munications from the coast of the Adriatic Sea. They confirm
the preeeding information that we had obtained, and add some
new particulars.
The combined Greek squadrons, they say, really have taken,
many Turkish ships of war by an able manoeuvre, cutting them
off from the rest of the fleet, which could not prevent it.--
Seven Turkish ships were taken on the 27th September, and
the Turks in their subsequent retreat to the Dardanelles burnt
several themselves, which could not keep the sea, to prevent
them falling into the hands of the Greeks. There is no news
of the arrival of the Turkish fleet in the Dardanelles ; nor is
there any truth whatever in the report which has been industri-
.ously spread of their having landed troops at Napoli de Roma-
nia, the garrison of which has derived no advantage from the
fleet,except a supply of provisions, part of which, however, fell
into the hands of the Greeks. The friends of the Turks them-
selves are now convinced that the place must surrender. That
the Greeks are again in possession of Corinth and strictly block-
ade Patras we knew before. A later account affirms that the
Turkish corps which was assembled near Corinth, and which is
estimated at 5,000 good troops, had succeeded in passing the
isthmus, and had taken. up an advantageous position in the
South of Livadia, in expectation of reinforcements from Thes-
sally and Negropont. At Negropont the Turks were nume-
rous,' and eager to fight. A Moreote corps was advancing from
Corinth into Livadia to attack the Turks.

The following are the latest accounts from Epirus :—Arta
is still in the possession of the Turks. Prevesa, Parga,
and the other fortresses situated on the coast, have like-
wise Turkish garrisons ; and, on the land side, are either
not blockaded at all, or very inefficiently. The Pacha of Scu-
tari had endeavoured to reconcile himself with the Porte by the
mediation of Omer Brione; but not receiving any favourable
assurances, he continued his armaments, and acted in concert
with the Montenegrins. It is not known whence he draws the
considerable funds which he has at his disposal.
AUGSBURGII, Nov.A.—llis Royal Highness the Crown
Prince of Sweden passed through this city yesterday, on his re-
turn for Italy.
The division made by Maurocordato from Acarnania against
Thessaly is more serious than was at first supposed. All the
Greek troops which at first seemed destined against Arta have
marched towards Pyrrha, and again threaten Tricola, while
the well-known Diamanty has taken up a position at Alapona,
in Eastern Thessaly. All these movements harrass Chourschid
Paella, who lately advanced from Larissa for Thomako, with
intention of again penetrating into Livadia. A Turkish body
of reserve is on the Peneus. We have no particulars of the
further operations in those parts.

BUCHAREST, OCT. 6.—This morning the ringing of all the
bells announced the entry of Prince Ghika, who heard Mass
in the Church of St. Spindioni, and then entered the city in
great state, amidst an immense concourse of people. After
all the Corporations, Guilds, &c. had passed, came twelve
Arabian stallions, richly adorned with gold and silver; and
then followed the Prince, riding on a fine Arabian stallion,
surrounded by all the great men of the country, wearing the
hat and the sable pelisse presented him by the Sultan. It
was a magnificent sight; joy animated every countenance,
and the people saluted the Prince with enthusiasm ; the
two Princes, his sons, accompanied him. The Prince then
ascended the Throne, wearing the Kuga on his head, and the
Finnan of the Sultan was read by the Divan Effendi, first in
the Turkish and then in the Wallachlan language ; but on ac-
count of the great distance we could not understand a word of
it; only, as the name of the Pacha of Silistria was mentioned
several times in the Erman, we conclude that he is to have
sonic share in the affairs of Government.

The entrance of the Austrian Consul, who Immediately pre'.
ceded the Prince, his spread: universal joy. The Boyars are
gradually returning, the houses are repairing, the warehouses
opened, everywhere new animation is evident, and the good cha-
racter of the new Prince promises to this desolated country a
return of prosperity, for which we shall be indebted to the wis-
dom of the Sovereigns.

SPAIN.

3IADRID, NOVEMBER 7.

On the Ist instant, as soon as the routine bu-
siness which takes place at the opening of the
Sittings of the Cortes had been gone through, a
letter from the Minister of Grace and Justice was
read, stating that Don Nicolas Garelli, late Se-
cretary of State, had addressed a memorial to the
King, praying that his Majesty would be pleased
to refer the same to an Extraordinary Cortes.

" In this memorial (says the Spanish Papers) Senor Garelli
states that he has learned, as a public and notorious fact, that
it has been resolved:to imprison him and the other Secretaries
of State who were in office with him in the latter end of June
and the Ist of July, in virtue of the precautions considered ne-
cessary by the Fiscal, who directs the investigation into the
affair of the rebel Guards who left their quarters and entered
hostilely into the capital on the morning of the 7th of July ;
and that the pretence for this intended imprisonment is founded
on the conduct observed by the said late Secretaries of State on
those occasions. lie also observes, that, far from fearing the
result of any process, he is most desirous that his guilt or in-
nocence should be clearly and distinctly manifested : but the
constitution has pointed out how and when prosecutions are to
be carried on against Secretaries of State before the Supreme
Tribunal of Justice, which are duly to take place when the
Cortes declare that there is ground, as in other criminal causes,
for instituting a process—the which explanation is presented to
the Cortes in order that they may be pleased to take into their
considerrtion this important point, and decide as to them shall
seem good.

" His Majesty has thought fit to submit the above memorial
to the deliberation of the Cortes Extraordinary, who are ex-
pressly authorized to take the same into consideration."
The Secretary having asked, whether it was intended that
the memorial should be referred to a committee,
Senor Sanehes thought it unnecessary to appoint a particular
committee, as the memorial might with propilety be referred to
the committee already specially appointed on the affair of the
7th of July.

Senor Adan was of opinion that no committee was necessary.
It was necessary for the Cortes in the first place to determine
whether there was ground for proceeding. He did not think
they were yet in a situation to take cognizance of the business.
It was true that Senor Garelli had held the situation of Secre-
tary of State, butlie was also to be considered in that of a pri-
vate individual.

Senor Canga observed, that for that very reason the matter
ought to be referred to a committee. It was said that the me-
morialist was now in the character of a private individual ;
but that was what happened to every Minister on his re-
signing.

The President stated his opinion to be that the memorial
might be referred to the Committee of Legislation.

Senor Arguelles supported the opinion of Senor Canga. lie
concluded by saying, that theonly security which now existed
in Spain for a Deputy, a Minister, or any public officer, is,
that the Nation will not abandws any man who may hare
the misfortune to be placed in such a situation as Senor
Garelli.

After some further debate, it was ordered-that the memorial
ant, the letter of the Minister of Justice should be referred to a
special committee. The following Deputies were chosen for
the committee :—Senores Santafe, Tejeire, Baiges, Calderon,
Salva, Villanueva,-and Garoz.

On the 2d a document in justification of Senor Garelli, pre-
sented to the Cortex by his wife, was referred to the above com-
mittee.

In the sitting of the sth the committee made their report,
which is of great length, but the following is its substance :

" After recapitulating the grounds of Senor Garelli's com-
plaint, and the particulars of the proceedings for constituting
him prisoner, the committee state the principl:s of the law re
specting infractions of the constitution to be that the Secretaries
of State shall be atcoUntable to the Supreme Tribunal of Jus-
tice, but that it is necessary that the Cortes should previously
declare that there is reason for instituting a process.

" It is now asked whether, when a person who has been a
Secretary of State is put upon his responsibility for acts done
in his Ministry, the same rules are to be observed as if he were
still in office. This admits of no doubt. The accused, under
'such circumstances, must be proceeded with as if he were ac.:
tually a Minister. In the same manner as the Cortes acted in
1814, when a Deputy had failed in his duty of representative
of the nation, the Supreme Tribunal of Justice ought now to
act in taking cognizance of a charge against a late Minister for
transactions connected with his official duties. The case would
be very different, did the question relate to any common crime
committed by a Minister while in office. The present charge
is not like that of assassination, rape, or any injury which might
be committed by a public man without any reference to his of-
ficial situation. The criminal code enacts various penalties
against public officers for neglecting or wilfully delaying the
execution of the laws, and also the redress which the public
interest requires (articles 451 and 507). In various other ar-
ticles penalties are inflicted for not prosecuting delinquents, and
against those who prejudice the public cause—against those
who assemble to concert the means of opposing the laws, or
who resist their execution, or take measures to frustrate them.
The Minister who may have conspired against the security
of the State, or the Political Constitution of the Monarchy
however slight and however confined to himself the designs,
must be guilty of all the above enumerated offences, and many
others besides. From these premises the Committee deduce se-
veral axioms :

"-1. That to require the responsibility of a Minister or of a
person who has been a Minister, it is necessary that the Cortes,
before any proceeding whatever, should declare that there are
motives for instituting a process.

" 2. That the Supreme Tribunal of Justice ought to take
cognizance of the charge.

" 3. That the same Tribunal has to take cognizance of all
criminal causes relating to persons exercising the duties of Se-

cretaries of State.

" 4. That the crime of conspiracy in a Public Functionary,
and more particularly in a Minister, never can be regarded as
common and private, or considered separate from the questions
which his official situation involves.

" 'With regard to the complaint against the Fiscal Paredas,
on the ground of incompetency and violation of the Constitu-
tion and the law, the Committee conceive that there is no rea-
son to enter into the consideration of these questions, as they
are points on which the competent tribunal can decide.—
Finally, the Committee confine themselves to suggesting, for
the deliberation of the Cortes, as the ultimate result of their
opinion—

" That the documents be referred back to the Government,
in order that the doubt which it is expected the Cortes should
remove may be more regularly stated, and more explicitly ex-
pressed ; or that if the papers he not referred hack according to
the nature of the case, that the Fiscal shall conform strictly to
the Constitution and the laws, from which it is clearly to be

deduced-1 That a former Secretary of State ought, °al:
case of his being put on his responsibility, to be tied
°t
same manner as if he were exercising his office. 2' of.
public functionary can never be proceeded against for the.
fence of conspiracy committed during the period of his Wid/11
office, except in the quality of a functionary.
" The Cortes will be pleased thus to resolve, or in
other manner as to them may appear most proper."---Madri
