HOLLAND.

THE HAGUE, SEPT. 28.—The committee ap-
pointed by the Second Chamber of the States Gene-
ral to present the address in reply to the speech from
the Throne had the honour of being admitted to an
audience yesterday, when his MAJESTY made the fol-
lowing reply :
" Gentlemen,—l see with pleasure that the Second
Chamber comprehends and appreciates my views relative
to the carrying out the fundamental law, and that I
may reckon on its concurrence in e !Ix ting the increase
and consolidation of the happiness and prosperity of
the country. While I sincerely deplore that the coun-
cillors to whom I had given my confidence have not
met with the same accord in the bosom of the Cham-
bers, I nevertheless trust that I may soon overcome
the difficukies that have resulted therefrom, and thus
also pave the way for an amicable and energetic con-
currence of the different branches of the Legislative
Pomo.*

The committee afterwards had the honour of dining
with the KING. His Majesty was to have returned
to Loo to-day, but it is said that he will remain at
this residence some days longer. It is naturally
inferred from this that the Ministerial crisis is not
yet over; in fact, it would appear that the new
Ministers have not yet been appointed, although
various persons continue to be named as likely to have
a seat in the Cabinet. The KING has conferred the
dignity of a Commander of the Netherlands Lion on
Chevalier ComtANs, Charge d'Affaires from Den-
mark at the Courts of Belgium and the Netherlands.
An agricultural exhibition on a grand scale is to
be opened immediately at Leyden; it promises to be
extremely brilliant, and specimens are sent there from
every part of the country.
THE NETHERLANDS EAST INDIES.—We have re-
ceived by the overland mail a file of the Java Courant
from the 27th of June to the 28th of July. The
steamer, the Queen of the Netherlands, which left for
Singapore on the 26th, carried 2,981 letters for
Europe. His Serene Highness the Duke of SAXE
WEIMAR, and the grog of the expedition to Bali, re-
turned to Batavia on the 4th of July. Before his de-
parture the Duke solemnly installed the new Prince
of BOLIRIERAS in his office, and appointed Lieutenat-
Colonel V SWIETEA? and Captain VAN CAPELLEX,

with carrying on the negotiations and settling
the various matters with the native Princes.
The lettr stated, in a conference held on the
14th of July, that the pl under leg of the
ships which are stranded on their coast, and
which frequently gives rise to the grave st charges,
is a crime which they are anxious by every means to
avert ; wherefore they are ready to give those who
are shipwrecked all possible protection, but on the
condition that they do not quit their vessels until
after having received the said protection but if the
crew shall abandon their vessels hefore this is done,
which is generally the case, they (the native princes)
will not be answerable for the consequences. The
Netherlands negotiators fully recognise the justice of
the above decision, and have given the necessary in-
structions resulting therefrom. The second subject
treated in this conference was the slave trade,
which was prohibited on the part of the Nether-
lands. After lengthened discussions the native
princes gave their assent to all the articles, and
the treaty was signed on both sides. All these
important points being so satisfactorily settled,
the Netherlands Commissioners embarked in
the Phenix steamer, and arrived at Batavia on the
23th of July. This third expedition to Bali has,
therefore, been attended with complete success, and
the most satisfactory results have been arrived at. We
have also received the Singapore Courant, but the re-
ports which they bring from the British East Indies
are not very important. They mention the destruc-
tion of the fine vessel the Lowiee Family, which was
burnt in the roads of Bombay by incendiaries. It was
insured for EO,OOO rupees. They also speak much of
the unhealthy state of Moultan, which proves very
fatal to the English army. The number of tigers in-
creases fearfully in the environs of Singapore, and it is
stated that since the commencement of this year no
less than 4,000 Chinese have fallen a prey to these
wild beasts.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
COPENHAGEN, SEPT. 25.—The official journal
announces the appointment of the King's Chamber-
lain, M. 11. VON ROSENORN, to the office of Minister
of the Interior ; the abolition of the Chancery of
Schleswig Holstein Lanenberg, the business of which
is henceforth to be conducted by the Ministerial Pre-
sident, A. W. MOLLIKE ; and the union of the Trea-
sury and Public Debt, under the name of Chief
Financial Treasury.
ALTONA, SEPT. 25.—We have just received intel-
ligence by the ►nail train from Tonning, that the
citizens have succeeded in making themselves masters
of the public Treasury chest, which they carried off
to Rendsburg without the interference of the military.
The island of Fehrmann has been evacuated by the
German troops, and its former garrison has marched
to Ditmarsch. The Danes have made reiterated
demands for the evacuation of Friulrichsort, but it is
still held by the German troops.
The opposition to the carrying out of the conditions
of the armistice begins to be more strongly mani-
fested, and there is a general demur to pay the taxes.
llAsinuaGn, SEPT. 26.—We have received official
intelligence from Berlin, that the Minister of Public
Works has issued an order for the opening of the
Electro Magnetic Telegraph on the Hamburg-Berlin
line, for the use of the public, on the Ist of Oct.

T U RKEY.

RUPTURE OF DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS

WITH RUSSIA.

The Sultan ABDUL MESCHID, supported by Sir
STRATFORD CANNING, and by General AUPICK, has
remained firm in his refusal to deliver up the Hunga-
rian refugees to Russia, and the consequence is,
that Russia has broken off all diplomatic relations
with the Porte. It appears that the Russian Am-
bassador Extraordinary, Prince R A.DztviL, besides
having the mission of announcing to the Porte the
termination of the Hungarian war, was bearer of an
autograph letter from the CZAR to the SULTAN, and
of a memorandum from Count NESSELRODE, in which
the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh, after reminding the
Porte of the services rendered by it to Turkey
in delivering her from the grave dangers to which
she was exposed in consequence of the
Hungarian insurrection, demanded the extra-
dition of all the Hungarian and Polish re-
fugees at present imprisoned at Widdin. The
Divan replied in the negative, but intimated an in-
tention of sending FUAD EFFENDI as Ambassador to
the Emperor of RU,SIA, to explain the cause of the
refusal. This did not satisfy the Russian and Aus-
trian Ambassadors, who presented to the Divan an
ultimatum, giving to the Porte until four o'clock in
the afternoon of the following day to make a reply.
The ultimatum was returned immediately, with an.
intimation that the SULTAN had nothing to add to his
former reply, whereupon M. TITOFF declared that
all further diplomatic relations with the Ministers of
the SULTAN were broken off. The following is the
article of the treaty on which Russia bases her de-
mand for the extradition of the Hungarian refugees :
" TREATY OF PEACE BETWEEN RUSSIA AND
TIIE OTTOMAN PORTE, SIGNED AT KUT-
CHUCK, KARMASSI, ON TUE 21sr OF JULY,
1774. . _ _

"Art 2. If, after the conclusion of this peace, and the
exchange of ratifications, any subjects of the two em-
pires who may may have committed capital crimes, or
have been guil►y of disobedience or treason, shall seek
an asylum with ono of the two Powers, they shall not be
received by it under any pretext whatever, but shall be
delivered up on the instant, or at least driven out of the
states of the power where they have taken refuge, in
order that such malefactors may n )t occasion any cool-
ness of friendship or any useless disputes between the
two empires, excepting only those persons who shall
embrace the Christian religion in the empire of Russia
or the Mahometan religion in the Otto.nan empire. In
like manner, if any of the subjects of the two empires, as
well Christian as Mahometan, having committed any
crime or misdemeanour for any motive whatever, should
pass from one to the one, empire to the other, they shall
be aL once delivered up when claimed."

It is evident that the above article gives the Em-
peror of RUSSIA no right to demand the extradition
of the Hungarian refugees. They could not have
been guilty of treason against him, inasmuch as
Hungary never having formed part of the Russian
dominions, they cannot by possibility be considered
as Russian subjects. Prince RADZIYIL has not
hesitated to say openly, that it is the intention of the
CZAR to have every one of the Polish and Hungarian
fugitives now in Turkey hanged the instant they
fall into his hands; and after this unblushing
avowal he has the hardihood to insist upon the
extradition of his intended victims. The whole
Turkish nation protests against being made parti-
cipators in such a murderous policy. The Grand
Council with one voice have determined to resist
the demands of Russia and to defy her threats. The
SULTAN has approved of their resolution, and in
this his MAJESTY is supported by the SIIEDE-UL-
ISLAEM, or chief of the religion, and the whole corps
of Ulemas. The Snaix-uL-IsLanm said that to give
up these poor refugees would be a violation of one of
the first principles of the Mussulman religion, which
ordains that the followers of MAHOMET shall give
hospitality and protection to all who are in misfortune
without distinction of creed or country.
The Journal de Constantinople of the 14th says :
" In consequence of the negotiations which have been
going on for some days between the Turkish Govern-
ment and Cabinets of Vienna andßt. Petersbargh, rela-
tive to the question of political refugees, a general council
composed of ministers and high dignitaries, assembled at
the Porte on Tuesday last. On the following day Ali
Pacha, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, went to the
country residence of the Grand Vizir at Balta Liman to
transact business with that high dignitary. In the ,
course of the same day the first Dragomans of the
Austrian and Russian Legations were requested to pro-
ceed to Balts Liman."
The Austrian Ambassador has also demanded the
extradition of the Hungarians, in accordance with the
treaty of 1789, but the answer of the Porte is—
that she cannot admit the validity of that conven-
tion, which has been violated in the most flagrant
manner during the last fifty years. The Divan is
authorised in not admitting this treaty, as during the
Servian troubles of 1841, the Austrian Government
refused to deliver up the rebels who had fled to her
territory; that in 1843 a number of Bulgarian agi-
tators found safety in Dalmatia; and, again, the
Ministry of Prince AIETTEANICH refused to deliver
the Bosnian rebels of 1845. Under these circum-
stances, she does not consider herself liable in the
least to respect a treaty which has been trampled
under foot by the same power which at present is
placed in the position of appealing to it.
The following letter from Constantinople gives the
latest news of this grave affair :

" Constantinople, Sept. 17.
" The audience of con; i of Prince RADZIVIL took
place yesterday.
" An ultimatum bad been sent yesterday morning
by the Ministers of Russia and Austria, in which it
was signified to the Porte that relations would be
broken on the evening of the 17th if the Divan per-
sisted in its resolution to demand from the Emperors
of RUSSIA and AUSTRIA that it should remain guar-
dian of the prisoners.
" The dispositions of the Divan do not appear to
be changed by this ultimatum, and consequently the
rupture of relations is imminent.
" The Ambassadors of France and gngland do

all in their power to maintain the Porte in its dis.

pa±itions.
" I. KOSSUTH and General BEM are still at

Widdin.

" It is said that the F.,l=Os'i and French Ambas-
sadors at Constantinople have demanded the presence
of the fleet 3 of their respective nations in the Dar-
danelles."

KOSSUTH and his companions are treated by the
Turkish authorities with the greatest respect; they
are, it is said, to be immediately transferred to
Cone.antinople, from whence they will at once pro-
ceed to England.
The Impartial of Smyrna has the following :

" Serious d;sturbances have taken place at Samos. A
part of the inhabitants, impelled, it is said, by foreign
instigators, rose and demanded certain charges in the
Government, but of the nature or extent of their de-
mands we have no details. We are in hourly expecta-
tion of receiving an express with all particulars. We
hope that there is much exaggeration in the reports
which are in circulation, and that the dictates of reason
will suffice to bring back he rioters to their duty."

A postscript to the above states that four Turkish
vessels of war having arrived at Samos, the insur-
gents, who had shut themselves up in a monastery,
had offered to surrender.
