Madrid journals of the 14th hare arrived.
On that day the new Minister of Public Instruc-
tion, SEIJAS Lozallo, entered on the performance of
his public duties.
The non-publication of the-new tariff occasions con-
siderable uneasiness in the public mind.
The Clamor Publico says :--
" The report was circulated with confidence last week
that the new customs tariff would be published on one of
its s. It appears now that it has to be discussed
day
afresh in the Council of Ministers. In the meanwhile
commerce suffers the natural paralyzation in its affairs,
and the losses occasioned are incalculable. On the other
side, again, the arrival of Senor Orlando, and the lan-
guage of the monoplist journals of Catalonia, give room
for the most alarming reports. It is necessary for the
decorum of the Government, for the interest of com-
merce and industry, to say what is the state of this
matter," Sze. _

The Epoca says, with reference to this subject,
that reports were circulated at Cadiz that Catalan
agents were recruiting at Marseilles and other points
for Carlists and Revolutionists, that they might stir
up the war in Catalonia again ; and also that consi-
derable sums had been sent to Madrid, in order to
paralyse all progress in the tariff question; and it
was feared that all these efforts might produce fatal
results; but the Epoca trusts that these fears will
have been dissipated, and that the question will be set
at rest by the speedy publication of the tariff.

Hungarian regiments, but the whole army will be
composed of natives of the different provinces, with, as
far as possible German officers. By the incorpora-
tion of the Hungarian prisoners, the Austrian army
will consist of 600,000 men.

HOLLAND.
OPENING OF TEIE DUTCH CHAMBERS.—THE
KING'S SPEECH.
On the 16th inst. King WILLIAM 111. opened, in
person, the ordinary session of the States-General,
with the following speech :
" Gentlemen,—l rejoice to see you assembled around
me, who now occupy the place of my august father of
imperishable memory, to open to your labours a new
session, in which you will be called upon to devote with
me your scrupulous attention to the dearest interests of
our country, and to carry out the execution of the funda-
mental law to which we reciprocally took oath in the
preceding session.
" We may congratulate ourselves on the happy posi-
tion of our relations at home and abroad, which have
progressed favourably since my accession to the Throne.
"We are at peace with all the other powers. The
troubles which distract other countries have not crossed
our frontiers, and the divisions which in some measure
separate other states from each other, do not touch us.
We are on friendly terms with all. The embarrassments
which it was for a moment feared might arise out of
the Limburg question, have been happily obviated under
the safeguard of treaties. We have good reason to hope
that this situation, founded on right, will receive a con-
solidation or a solution equally equitable.
" The victory gained by the bravery of our troops (by
land and sea) at Bali has cost us some distinguished
warriors, and we have especially to deplore the loss of
an excellent general; but, at this sacrifice, respect for our
domination, and tranquillity and order, are assured to
the Indian Archipelago.
" Our marine has rendered great services, which
cannot fail to bo profitable to our West Indian pos-
sessions.

`• The army has been a great source of satisfaction
,0

" My well-loved compatriots are in the enjoyment of
the most desirable prosperity. Commerce has resumed
its activity; the manufacturers have furnished, especially
at the recent exhibition, remarkable proofs of their de-
velopment. The sale f our colonial produce has given
profits, which, added to the satisfactory results of the
taxes, and the considerable reductions made in the public
expinditure, have greatly contributed to ameliorate the
state of our finances. The failure, however, in one
branch of our agricultural produce, and the numerous
victims swept away by a dangerous epidemic, have been
a subject of sorrow and grief to us. Both evils are,
however, on the decrease.

" Under these favourable circumstances, Gentlemen,
you are called together to give your attention to the
affairs of the country. Numerous important labours,
prescribed by the constitution itself, and demanded by
the circumstances, await you.
" These labours will not be confined to the examina-
tion and appreciation of the projects of law exacted by
the modified fundamental law. You will also be occu-
pied with a new budget of expenses and receipts of the
kingdom; important questions, touching the material
interests of .the nation. You will also have to exa-
mine the measures which, in presence of the actual
development of the commercial policy of Europe, shall
be deemed apt and proper to encour,,ge navigation and
commerce, to re-establish or ameliorate the principal
sources of our national prosperity, and, if possible, to
create new ones.

"To this end I wish you to proceed with wisdom and
firmness; to this end I invoke your co operation, your
union, your impartial solicitude.

" The happitiess and the prosperity of that estimable
people, whose welfere it is our duty to cultivate, depend
for many years to come upon the acts which, under the
present important circumstances, we shall pass with com-
mon accord.

" May the country reap the salutary fruits of our
labours.
"May the Almighty, in whose hands are our destinies,
shield us with his blessing.
"It is with these sentiments and wishes in my heart
that I declare the opening of the States-General."
The KING was loudly greeted by the people as he
paused through the streets to the palace. He was ac-
companied by the Princes HENRY and FREDERICR of
the Netherlands.
