his MAJESTY Will make his solemn entry into that

for the different ports of Germany, and which are
prevented by the Danish blockade from continuing

DIVORCE BETWEEN PRINCE ALBERT OF
PRUSSIA AND PRINCESS MARIANNA OF
THE NETHERLANDS.
We are authorised to state that the consequence of
the divorce recently pronounced at Berlin between the
illustrious persons is not so disadvantageous to ne
Princess as was at first apprehended, and that the
three children of this marriage are to be under the
charge of the Princess, their mother. Their Royal
Highnesses have just arrived at Amsterdam.
ROTTERDAM, MAY 7.—We regret to say that the
cholera has again made its appearance here ; many
cases have occurred, but there has as yet been no
official returns published. It is of a very malignant
character, and many of the cases have proved fatal.
—llandlesbad, May 8.
The First Chamber of the States General has ad-
journed its sittings till the 16th of May.
The Second Chamber is still discussing the various
articles of the fundamental law. The article under
debate at its last sitting was the reduction of the
salaries of the chief officers of the supreme court. Mr.
Deputy Godefroi has signified his intention to bring
forward an amendment to-morrow, whereby the
whole of that article will be omitted.
After discussing that question it is probable that
the Second Chamber also will adjourn, the presence
of the members being indispensable, at the ap-
proaching inauguration of the KING on the 12th.
Dutch Papers, May 8.

RUSSIA AND TURKEY.
We stated some time since that General GRABBE,
aide-de camp of the Emperor of RUSSIA., had pro-
ceeded to Constantinople on a special mission of
importance. The Journal des Debuts publishes a
letter from Constantinople, which gives some curious
details relative to the General's mission.
"The General," says the Debats, " was the bearer of
an autograph letter from the Emperor to the Sultan.
The Czar hopes thus to obtain by direct intervention
what he could not obtain from the Turkish Ministry
—a special intervention between Russia and the
Porte. The Emperor in his letter draws a dis-
tinction between the Sultan and his Government.
He flatters the former, and accuses the latter of obeying
foreign influence and interested councils, by opposing
the propositions of Russia—propositions, morever,
contrary to the rights of the Porte, opposed to those
of Europe, and consecrated by the treaties of 1841 ;
nevertheless the universal opinion at Constantinople
is, that Russia will finally obtain her ends. By signing
the above treaties Russia deprived herself of the right
of forming a special convention with the Porte. In a
conference with General Grabbe, the British Ambassador,
Sir Stratford Canning, is said to have demanded, in very
firm language, the observance of the treaty of 1841. Lord
Palmerston's unlucky remark, 'that this was a ques-
ti )n to be settled between Russia and Turkey,' has dis-
couraged the Porte and weakened the influence of the
English Ambassador. General Aupick, the French
Ambassador, has received instructions to act i❑ concert
with Sir Stratford Canning.

" In the first audience '-given to the Russian diploma-
tist, the Sultan is reported to have given a dignified but
conciliatory reply, avoiding a breach with Isis Govern-
ment, which as yet he seems resolved to support. But
unless energetically supported by the English and
French Ambassadors, it is feared he will finally give in
to Russia."
