DUTCH PAPERS (to the 7th September.)

BRUSSELS, SEPT. 3.7--We learn that the camp
is to be formed near Bergen oil the 18th Sept.
It will consist ofthe,Sd, 4th, and 12th divisions,
and be commanded by. Lieut.-Getieral
and Major-Generals Godike.and Meyor, the last
of whom has lately been appointed to the com-
mand of the province of Natnur.
HAARLEM, SEPT. .s.—Mr. Seheerboorn per-
formed on Saturday last the experiments which
he had announced with Intire success in the pre-
sence of a great number of spectators ; though
the calm state of the sea made it difficult to de-
termine how far the strength of a, horse may' be
sufficient to advance with the sea:phander in the
midst of stortn'imd breakers to a stranded ship in
order to carry to the crew the necessary ropes.
The• spectators appeared 'generally convinced
that the invention might, in many cases, be of
great utility, and that it deserved the attention
and encouragement of the Government.
lIAGuE, SEPT. 4.—lt was to be foreseen that
his Majesty's resolution of the 14th August, re-
specting young men who, after the Ist October
next, had passed. their academical and theolo-
gical studies out of the kingdom, would be rip...,
lently attacked by the Ultra Royalistjournals
in France, as soon as it was known in that king-
dom. This has accordingly been the case ; and
even tLe Etoile has not been the last in this re.
spect : but, on the other hand, the measure
is zealously defended by the more impartial
French Journals ; thus the Journal du Commerce
highly extols the Prince who opposes this bar-
rier to Jesuitism, in the same manner as the in-
troduction of contraband goods and of contagious
diseases is opposed by the means of custom-
house officers.and cordons of troops. The Jour-
nal des Debats, too, praises the wholesome effect
of the ,measure in a long article.
In the Journal de Bruxelles of Friday last
there is a series of edicts issued by former Sove-.
reigns of these countries, relative to the-educa-
tion of youth, and which incontestibly prove that
from remote times there have been regulations on
this subject which entirely coincide with
the recent ordinance. An edict of 1683
,prohibits the young men from studying philoso-
phy anywhere except at Louvain. A remarkable
edict, of 27th August, 1695, says, that as many
young men go to study in Foreign Universities
for various reasons, but, prinCipally to shorten the
period of study, it is ordered by the King
(WiPiam III.) that no person shall be admitted
to any office,, ecclesiastical or civil, for which the
degree of Licentiate is required, unless he has,
bona fide, studied four years in a University in
the King's dominions.

Another ordinance of 22d Dec. 1755, runs
thus :

Article 1. W e forbid any person, of what-
ever age, rank, or profession, from attending,
without permission,a course of philosophy, public
or private, anywhere, except at Louvain or
other universities subject to our authority, and
this on pain of a fine of 2000 florins, and of
being declared disqualified for any deputy office
or benefice, ecclesiastical or civil, and also from
exercising the profession of a physician.

Art. 3. makes parPnts, guardian,' ice- "3 Yr

-
able for minors. -
It is therefore from a mere spirit of opposition
to the Government, or unpardonable ignorance
of our ancient legislation, that some persons have
attacked ordinances of the present Government,
the sole object of which is to revive', with re-
spect to the education of youth, the ancient ordi-
nances of the most enlightened Sovereigns of the
Netherlands.
