did not allow of this sale taking place upOtl the terms pro-
posed by tile company referred to, and the Government
fet it their duty, by a decree off the 27th of the same
month, to suspend the sale—receiving, in the meanwhile,
MI proposals,that might be made until the sth Of the pre-
sent month; ilhen they might propose to the Chamber such
Legislative measures as they deemed necessary for the
more advantageous' diSpoial of this property.
" In the interval, the Goveruitient, not content with the
ample information which they already possessed, ordered to-
pographical plans to be made by engineers, have submitted
the matter to the consideration of the Chambers, end, with
this mass of united instruction, are in hopes that they tiball
be able to proceed with all that prudence which this impor-
tant Stibjeet requires.
" The Liietla of the Tagus and Composta, being pro-
perty of a particular deiefiptien, cannot be subject, in its
sale, to the regulations established by the law of the 15th
of last April, for the sale of the national pYopertxin general ;
and the necessities of the State requiring that thissale shall
be effected solely for cash, excluding all descriptions. of
Titulos, which were receivable in payment for the other
4altisi the Government does sicri hesitate to submit such a
proposal id the Chamber.
.‘ In the law which has been referred fo, however, it is
enacted that, in sales for cash, a fifth is to be paid on the
purchase being concluded, the purchaser passing bills for the
remainder, payable in sixteen annual instalments. Now
there are some properties, principally in the provinces, so
insignificant in value, and the bills in payment of which would
be so small in amount, that it would be difficult to receive
and keep an account of them ; the trouble of doinc, so
costing more, perhaps, -:than they might be worth. Influ-
enced by all these motives, I hare the honour of proposing
to the Chamber—

THE 1140.1 r, iTitiv. 214—A letter from Nimeguen, of
the 19tb, Says--" The accounts which were received from
all quarters of the State of the revenues are as favourable
as can be desired; .The ice has DitrywhOto disappeared,
and the riVerS .therefdre. agaitt.na6gable. Here we
have already ships in the the Wit/id/it .1: steam:

ing to the Steam Navigation Company is gone to Rotter-

cam to-day, ana tne • •
' Vecuw st-boat from Emmerick,

" We hear that a commissary of police has arrived here
from Vienna, for the purpose of taking to Vienna a person
named Enstein, who has been arrested here, and is impli-
cated in the proceedings against the forgers of Austrian
Bank notes, which have been circulated in great numbers,
and to a large amount, in the imperial dominions."
We have received Java Papers to the stl Dee:; from
which we take the following paragraphs :—" An account
from Lebek (in Bantam), says, that on the 26th August
there was a very severe shock of an earthquake, nearly at
the same time as that at Padang., which we mentioned in
our last number,"
" We learn from Tykao that the warehouses and other
buildings there were in great danger in the night of the
20th September of being destroieby lire, By some acci-
dent the forest On the other side of the river Tyterom,
which runs by this place, caught fire, and in consequence at
the long continued drought the flames spread with great
rapidity, and soon reduced to ashes a tract of about six pal
in extent. It appears that if the wind had not fortunately
blown in another direction, nothing could have saved Tykao
and the warehouses full of coffee from destruction."
We hear that his Majesty has been pleased to give to
the third son of the Prince of Orange the tank of Lieu-
tenant in the Navy, of the second class.
AMSTERDAM, JAN. 21.—We have several times men-
tioned the probability that preliminary operations for a
railroad between this city and Haarlem would commence
in the spring. We now learn that the greatest difficulty
lies in the opposition of the owners of the land over which
the road would pass, who are not inclined to part with it.
BERLIN, JAN. 9.—ln the negotiations with Mr. Wheaton,
the American Envoy here, for a treaty of commerce and
navigation with Prussia, acting for the States of the German
Commercial Union, it was to be expected That Mr. Wheaton,
before entering on the question whether the productions of
Germany should be admitted into the American ports on
more favourable terms than at present, would require a re-
duction of the import duties on the principal productions
of the United States, such as rice and tobacco (raw cotton
is subject by the Prussian Tariff to a very small duty, for
the sake of the German manufacturers). Meantime it has
been observed to Mr. Wheaton, that the duties on rice and
tobacco can be considered only as duties on consumption,
which interest only the interior of the country. But it has
been demonstrated on the part of America, by the report
of the Consuls of the Hanseatic cities, that the high duties
to which the articles in question are subjected on their

" 1. That the Lizerias of the Tagus and Composta, may
be sold for current cash, either together or in separate lots,
as may be deemed fit.
" 2. That in the sales for cash, where the property does
not exceed in value 200 milreas, the amount to be paid im-
mediately-
" Where it is of the value of 200 milreas, that 200 milreas
be paid immediately, and the remainder in two annual in-
stalments.

importation into the States of the German Commercial
Union must certainly' have diminished the consumption
and checked the sale ; that besides, according to the exist-
ing American Tariff, most of the articles of German
manufacture, enjoy in part in the United States an entire
exemption from import duties, and that a successive reduc-
tion of the duties on other articles may be expected, as re-
sults from Mr. Clay's Bill of 2d March, 1833 ; and that
therefore it does appear why more extensive favors should
be asked ; that there was the less reason to insist on this,
as America adopted the principle that the flag covers the
merchandize, that is, in levying the duties it was not the
custom to require certificates of origin ; but that, on the
contrary, the only question was, to what nation the ship
buying the goods belonged.
DEUX PONTS, JAN. 16.—We have had an inundation,
exceeding even those of 1784 and 1795. In the morning
of the 12th, the water rose to the height of six or eight feet
in several streets, and swept everything before it. The
amount of the damage done is not yet known. A great
number of domestic animals perished. Quantities of goods
in the warehouses and shops were entirely destroyed, or
much injured, and those in the cellars, which are still under
water, are probably all spoiled or destroyed. Happily no
lives were lost.

" Where it amounts to 400 milreas, and does not exceed
600 milreas, that 200 milreas be paid immediately, and the
remainder in four annual instalments. _ _

"Where it amounts to 600 milreas, and does not exceed
one conto of reis, that 800 milreas be paid immediately, and
the remainder in five annual instalments ; the law of the
15th of April last, so far as it rotates to this subject, re-
maining null and void."

CASSEL, JAN. 16.—The sentence of the Supreme Court
of Appeal has been published, which acquits the Minister of
State, M. Hassenpflug, accused by the Assembly of the
Estates of a violation of the Constitution.—Journal de
Frankfort, Jan. 20.
HAMBURGII, JAN. 17.—The Elbe is still full of floating
ice, and the navigation consequently interrupted.
JAN. 19.—Yesterday afternoon, two English steam-boats,
the William IV., for Hull, and Sir E. Banks, for London,
which had been at Cuxhaven, came up to the city ; but the
weather having changed, the Sir E. Banks returned to-day,
at noon, to Cuxhaven, there to wait for the mail to Eng-
land.—Haniburgh Papers, Jan. 19.
BERLIN, JAN. 18.—A letter from Danzig announces,
that Mr. Alexander Gibson, the British Consul and Hano-
verian Consul-General, died there on the Bth of this month,
in the 66th year of his age.

ST. PETERSBURGH, JAN. B,—His Excellency Baron
Barante, Peer of France, Ambassador Extraordinary, and
Minister Plenipotentiary of his Majesty the King of the
French, to his Majesty the Emperor, arrived in this capital
with his family, the day before yesterday.
