Dutch Gazettes to the 18th inst. have arriv-
ed, the contents of which are unimportant.—ln
the Second Chamber of the States-Gegeral, on
the %I sth inst., the order of the day was the pro-
ject of law, for creating a sum of 571 millions of
actual debt, to cover successively the arrears of
13'20, and 1821, and to meet the most urgent ex-
Pences.—After a long debate the project was
adopted, by a majority of 80 to 25.

INDIA.—The Lords Commissioners of His
MAJESTY'S Treasury met this morning at eleven
o'clock, at the Treasury Chambers, Whitehall,
to proceed in the hearing of the claims of the
Parties to the booty captured in the Deccan, by
the Army under the command of Lieutenant-
General Sir TitomAs Ilist.or, Bart. G.C.8.,
when the Counsel for the Marquis of HASTINGS
delivered in a statement of the nature of his Lord-
ship's claims, and of the several divisions of the
4raly under his command, and also a statement of
various documents to support the same, upon
which the Lords Commissioners of the Trea-
"FY, it is understood, directed that the further
hearing should be adjourned to the 15th of No-
''ember next, and that all the memorials and do-
cuments should be printed and laid upon their
Lordships' table by the 10th of October next,
after which peri4d none are to be received.

We have this morning received a file of Quebec
Gazettes to the, 13th of June last, from which
'we shall select some extracts on Monday.

( From the Quebec Paper received yesterday. )
QUEBEC, MAY 27.—0 n Friday night ice was formed on
Water, of the thickness of a dollar. To-day the thermometer
has risen as high as 80.
, The new bridge on the Jacques Cartier river was carried off
-Last week. The sudden melting of the snows to the north has
eaused.the rivers taking their rise in that quarter to rise rapidly,
'• and in many cases to occasion serious losses.

rr
he annual decoration of the Statue of King
k•ILLIAm, at Dublin, though, undoubtedly,
laudable in itself, as a just tribute of respect to
' the Memory of the gloriohs founder of our Con-
:titntional Freedom, has, as our Readers well
ti°w, been a fruitful source of dissension be-
ween the Protestant and Roman Catholic inte-
reSts of the Irish metropolis. Just before the
Derit'd at which this testimony of patriotic zeal
and grateful veneration was evinced by some of
the Dublin Protestants, Mr. O'CONNELL ad-
firessed a letter to the Loan LIEUTENANT, calling
akin his Excellency to exert his authority for
the prevention of the customary ceremonial,
ti
e"oncing the usage as unlawful, and in no very
PesPectful terms predicting the consequences which
Were likely to arise from disregarding his requi-
ziti".to Attempts were at • the same time made
inflame the passions of the populace of the
0:tY; and to stimulate them to the commission
Out
%rages, if the intention of renewing the
boo .
st lions exhibition should be apparent. The
I. acne, however, notwithstanding these indica-
,
e'"s of approaching hostility, was dressed in the
84a1 manner; and though a breach of the
p
4ce) Which was at first of an alarming aspect,
s 0„
the tumult was promptly quelled by the
Igoar of the police, without producing any very
4eiou
s consequence.—From the statement made
oh t stilight by Lord LIVERPOOL, during the debate
vi,ot"e second reading of the Insurrection Act, it
be 441 seem that the turbulent are not likely to
theagala furnished with the pretext for riot which

obedience to hiSMAJESTY'S paternal injunctions,
the greater
tteasetse themselves and more respectable part of the Pro-
mselves have been disposed to make a

in ad and as an evidence of their own sincerity

tc
Look NT himself, it now appears, not only
Such steps as might induce individuals to

abstain from the proceeding ;" but, 44 had any
person made affidavit that a breach of the peace
was to be expected, stronger measures would
have been resorted to." The decoration, therefore,
will most probably be altogether discontinued
in future. Mr. O'CoNNELL, or some of his friends,
will doubtless take care to provide the requisite
affidavits, though their apprehensions of a breach
of the peace will prove nothing more than that
they dread the lawless violence of their own party !

Mr. WEBB HALL has addressed a letter to the
Editor of the Farmer's Journal on the subject of
the new Corn Importation Act, which he does
not think sufficient for the protection of the Agri.
cultural Interest. We extract the following
curious passage from the communication :

" There has been no occasion in either House in which the
subiect has been so fairly discussed ; yet, alas ! such is the
state of our public press, that when Lord REDESDALE was
delivering some of the soundest principles ever yet uttered in
either House upon the subject ; and when I turned to the re-
porters and said, Hear, hear ! take that down accurately,'
they smiled in my face, and put up their pens. Do the farmers
mean to stand this any longer ? Or will they, by furnishing
funds sufficient for the purpose, have reporters of their own,
that they and the public may know the truth."

COMMERCIAL.—A Letter from Elberfeldt,
dated the Ist inst. states, that the new expedition
of the Rhenish -West India Company will soon
proceed to sea. Mr. HOLZSCHUE will be relieved
at St. Domingo, and then proceed to found an
establishment in the Mexican empire. Mr. Stn.-
ZER, who has been formerly a resident in Cuba,
Vera Cruz, and Mexico, accompanies the expe-
dition now fitting out.. Several respectable young
men of the mercantile class go out as volunteers.
It is rumoured that a second company is about
to be formed, to be designated the Elbe West
India Company : it will be modelled after the
plan of the Rhenish.

Yesterday the Duke of Yonx transacted mili-
tary business with the KING.
Yesterday at 2 o'clock a Cabinet Council was
held at the Foreign Office, Downing-street, which
was attended by the Earl a Liverpool, the Earl
of Westmoreland, Earl Bathurst, the Marquis of
Londonderry, Mr. Peel, the Duke of Wellington,
Lord Maryborough, Mr. Robinson, Mr. Bragge
Bathurst, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, &c.
The Council sat in deliberation till half past
three o'clock.
The Duchess of GLOUCESTEa and the Princess
AUGUSTA rode in their carriages yesterday, and
called at the KING'S Palace to pay their respects
to the KING.

There will be a Chapter of the Order of the
Garter on Monday next, when all the vacant
Ribbons will he disposed of.
It is reported in the North that his MAJESTY
has intimated his intention of honouring the Duke
Of GORDON, Marquis of STAFFORD, and Earl of
FIFE, with a visit.
We have been favoured with the perusal of a
letter from a gentleman in office at the Mauri-
tius, under date the 3d of April, five weeks sub-
sequent to the accounts received via Bordeaux,
which states that the conspiracy of the slaves at
the former colony was discovered preparatory to
the intended insurrection. In consequence of an
unanimous application of the inhabitants to his
Excellency Governor FARQUHAR, A. W. BLANE,
Esq. the Deputy-Secretary, was requested to un-
dertake the superintendance of the police of the
Island.—(Morning Chronicle.)
Letters were yesterday received from Havan-
nah, dated sth June, which, in reference to very
recent advises from Mexico, mention that hull.-
BIDE had been elected Emperor of Mexico by a
plurality of votes in the Congress. This, it is
well known, has been his aim for some time, and
his plan was fully prepared by the ascendancy he
had gained over the troops. The Congress com-
menced their deliberations on this curious topic
the moment they were made acquainted with the
Decree of the Spanish Government, disavowing.
the Treaty made with O'Doiso.ru, and conse-
quently rejecting the offer of receiving a Member
of King FERDINAND'S family as the future Sove-
reign of Mexico. This Decree considerably,
strengthened ITURBIDE'S party, which was join-
ed by all those who were of opinion that a Re-
publican form of Government is unsuitable for a
country circumstanced as New Spain is, having
so many privileged classes, so many titled and
rich persons. They were also greatly afraid of
anarchy. Sugars at ilavannah had fallen one
dollar per quintal.

The Earl of DIGBY met with an accident on
Wednesday last, near Sherborne Castle, in con-
sequence of his horse falling, and his Lordship
was severely bruised.
We regret to state that as Mr. FLEMING, M.P.
for the County of Hants, was returning from
Winchester to his residence at Stoneham, on
Thursday night, during the heavy storm of thun-
der and lightning, the postillions mistook the
road, owing to the darkness of the night, and the
carriage was overturned into a gravel pit and
completely shattered, and Mr. FLEMING'S arm
fractured in two places. Mrs. FLEMING, who
was also in the carriage, providentially escaped
unhurt.

POLICE ARMED PATROLE.-Yesterday after-
noon the principal portion of the dismounted patrol were mus-
tered in Privy-gardens for inspection, amounting to about 100
able-bodied men, dressed in their officially-directed uniform—
blue coats and trowsers, scarlet waistcoats, boots, &c. They
were mustered in four ranks, with their leaders in front of each
rank, divided according to their divisions or parties. They all
had cutlasses, with " Dismounted Patrol" inscribed on them,
resting on their right arms, and truncheon staffs in their left
hands, with bright handcuffs, and tin cases for their order-books.
In addition to these, the leaders were armed with pistols.—
With this body of well-discipined men, who have most of them
been in the army, the public are well protected both in their
persons and property, for a number of miles round the metro-
polis, at a very moderate expense, so that highway or footpad
robberies are very rarely heard of ; and if any do take place,
the communication with each party is so quick, well arranged,
and directed, that it is but very seldom they escape; in fact,
these species of robberies round the metropolis are very seldom
heard of. At three o'clock Sir Richard Birnie, the chief Ma-
gistrate of the Police, accompanied by Mr. Hobhouse and Mr.
Dawson, the Under Secretaries of State for the Home Depart-
ment, attended by the conductors and the other officers of the
Horse Patrol Establishment, arrived, and proceeded to inspect
the ranks, and every thing appearing perfectly regular, the in-
spection closed. They were afterwards sworn in before Sir R.
Birnie as constables, under the New Police Act.
