be addressed to the Extrnordinary Envoy Plenipoten-
tiary Minister of his Majesty the Emperor of all the
Russias, which was adopted by the Diet.
" Agreeably to the proposition made by M. de Mieg,
Envoy of his Majesty the King of Bavaria, it was
agreed that a becoming reply should be returned, in
the name of the Confederacy, to the Courts of Prussia
and Russia, expressive of the sentiments contained in
the answer which it had been resolved to give the
Im-
perial Envoy of Russia.
" In conformity wit: those resolutions it was una-
nim

;ously decreed :
" 1. To make known to the Courts of Austria and
Prussia, through the medium of their, respective Len°a-
tions, that their communications have been received by
the Diet with the liveliest interest. In doing entire
justice to the noble and disinterested intentions which
the Four Powers have manifested on the occasion, the
Diet, full of confidence in the wisdom and moderation
of the Powers who have proposed to themselves the pa-
cification of the East, hopes that the general peace of
Europe will be preserved ; a peace which, during a
quarter of a century, has been the pride of the Mo-
narchs, and has ministered to the prosperity and the
deeply-felt wants of nations.
"2. To forward, in the name of the President, to the
Imperial Envoy of Russia the following reply
The undersigned, Minister of Austria, President of
the High Germanic Diet, has not failed to submit to the
latter, at its sitting of this day, the note of his Excellency
M. D'Oubril,' Extraordinary Envoy and Plenipotentiary
Minister of his Majesty the Emperor of all the Rus-
sias, of 24th of October of the present year, having for
its object the communication of the convention, which
Great Britain,f Austria, Prussia, and Russia concluded
with the Sublime Porte on the 15th of July last.
" This communication has been received by the High
Diet with the liveliest interest.
" The Diet acquiesces in the elevated and disinterested
views manifested by the Four Powers, in the present
circumstance : and, confiding in the wisdom and mode-
ration of the Powers who have undertaken the task of
pacifying the East, it indulges a hope that this cenven-
tion will insure the maintenance of the peace of Eu-
rope—of that peace which, during a quarter of a cen-
tury, has been the pride of the Sovereigns, has minis-
tered to the prosperity of nations, and is for all a deeply
felt want.
" The undersigned, &c.

INAUGURATION OF THE KING

OF HOLLAND.

AMSTERDAM, Nov. 28.
The ceremony of the inauguration of the King
of Holland took place this day with great solemnity and
pomp. The new church situated on the Dam, and
almost contiguous to the Stadthiers or Royal Palace,
has been prepared and arranged with much magnifi-
cence and infinite taste. It is said that all the fittings up
were from the designs of the King himself, the architect
Boon having nominally the credit and direction of the
works. Certainly there can be no reason but to
praise highly the tact and taste of his Majesty.
The interior of the church, previous to the galleries
being filled, presented a very picturesque appearance.
There was a splendid throne of red velvet embroidered
with gold. The galleries assigned to the Queen, the
Princesses, and those of the diplomatic corps were
fronted with blue silk hangings, whilst all the other
boxes were in blue merino drapery. Nothing could
exceed the skilful disposition of the space assigned to the
various spectators.
At noon the Members of the two Chambers of the
States-General assembled at the Palace, went in a body
on foot to the church, each Chamber beaded by its
President. They were received by the Master of the
Ceremonies, and conducted to their places opposite the
throne. The diplomatic and consular corps went to the
church singly. At half-past twelve all the members of
these two bodies, whose turn-outs were much admired,
especially that of the Prince de Chimay, had arrived at
the church, and taken their places at the left of the
throne.
At a quarter to one the Queen's cortege quitted the
Palace ; her Majesty and the Princesses were in a car-
riage, accompanied by a guard of honour, and followed
and preceded by cavalry. The carriage was drawn by
eight superb grey horses, and it was the same vehicle
which had been detained at Brussels since the revolu-
tion of 1830.
At one o'clock his Majesty quitted the Palace. The
procession moved in the following order :-
1. The King's Heralds and Heralds at Arms, with
their trumpets.
2. The Chamberlain (Master of the Ceremonies),
with the wand of office.
3. Twelve Chamberlains, marching two by two.
4. The Great Officers of the King's Household.
5. The Crown, borne by Count Van Schimmelpen-
ninck.
6. The Sceptre, borne by Count Van der Bosch.
7. The Royal Globe, borne by Admiral Gobins.
8. The Fundamental Law, borne by the Secretary
of State, Baron Van Doorn.
9. The Sword of State, borne by Baron Van de Ca-
pellen.
10. The Standard, borne by General Bored.
[Every one of these personages was accompanied by
two of the King's Orderly Officers.]
1 1. The Prince of Orange and the other Princes of
the Blood Royal, followed by their Adjutants.
12. The King, marching under a velvet canopy of
red and gold, borne by two Generals and two Admi-
rals. His Majesty wore the Royal mantle, the train of
which was carried by his Adjutants.
12. The King's Adjutants, as well as all the General
Officers now in' Amsterdam.
14. Six Chamberlains.
His Majesty took his place on the throne, with the
Princes sitting on his right and left. The great officers
of State were behind the King ; the sword and the
standard, with the other insignia, were placed on the
steps of the throne, right and left. The fundamental
law was placed on a table, covered with red velvet
drapery.
His Majesty, being seated, then pronounced some
words analogous with the circumstance. He afterwards
ordered the Secretary of State to read the whole of the
fundamental law which is prescribed by the law itself.
After the reading of this, his Majesty rose, and, bare-
headed, pronounced distinctly the following oath :
"I swear before the people of the Netherlands to
maintain and to observe the fundamental law of the
kingdom, and that on no occasion or under any pretext
whatever will I depart from it, nor suffer that it be
infringed. I swear also to defend and to preserve to
the utmost extent of my power, the independence of the
kingdom, and the integrity of its territory, as well as
public and individual liberty ; to maintain the rights of
all and of every one of my subjects, and to employ all
the means which the laws place at my disposition for
the preservation and increase of private and general pro-
perty, as a good King ought to do, so help me God !"
The Presidents of the two Chambers of the States-
General before the Throne made each the following de-
claration :
" We swear, in the name of the people of the Ne-
therlands, that, by virtue of the fundamental law of this
State, we receive you and inaugurate you as King ; that
wo will maintain the rights of your Crown ; that we will
be obedient and faithful to you in defence of your per-
son and your Royal dignity ; and we swear to do all
that good and loyal citizens are bound to do, so help us
God !"

Immediately after the solemnity of the oath, the first
King's herald proclaimed three times, and the second
King's herald, waving his sceptre, repeated also three
times, " Long live the King." It was the signal for a
general shout ; and the blasts of trumpets, the ringing
of the bells, and the discharge of cannon announced to
the people that that solemnity was over.
The two King's heralds afterwards took up their
stations before the two principal doors of the church,
and distributed small medals, commemorative of the
solemnity of the day, amongst the people. At the
same time the four heralds, escorted by detachments of
cavalry, repaired to various parts of the city, in order to
make a similar distribution of medals.
Their Majesties and the remainder of their suite,
which is estimated at 4,200 persons, retired in the same
order as they arrived.
This evening there will be a general illumination, for
which immense preparations have been made for some
days past. The weather is fine, and the illumination
bids lair to be on a magnificent scale.

THE CUERDALE COIN.—Our readers will re-
member that, at the time when the late discovery of Saxon
coins, &c., was made at Cuerdale, Mr. Jonathan Rich-
ardson, the tenant in occupation of the farm on which the
treasure was found, behaved in the most active and
praiseworthy manner, in endeavouring by all the means
within his power to secure the whole number, in order
that they might afterwards be honestly surrendered
to their lawful owner, who, it will be recollected
(after an inquiry held before the Coroner for Black-
burn hundred, at the Bull Inn, Preston), was de-
clared to be her Majesty, in her right as Duchess of
Lancaster ; and the coins were accordingly forwarded
to the proper quarter. We have now the great gratifica-
tion of informing our readers, that the authorities connected
with the Duchy, in order to evince their respect for and
admiration of Mr. Richardson's upright conduct on the .c-
-casion, have recently transmitted to him a highly compli-
mentary letter, enclosing also the gratuity of twenty sove-
reigns, and a handsome silver medal, bearing a suitable in-
scription. We likewise learn, that a specimen of each of
the different coins contained in the,treasure has been sent
to W. Assheton, Esq , of Downham hall, the owner of
Cuerdale Hall farm ; the remaining coins will be distri-
buted to the ditle.rent public collections at home and
abroad.— Preston Chronicle.
Mr. Macready will appear at the Haynniket
Theatre, on Monday next, in Lord Byron's tragedy of
Werner. On Tuesday will be produced Sir Edward Lyt_
ton Bulwer's new comedy of Money. On Saturday next
Mark Lemon's new farce of Bob Short will be brought
out, in which Miss P. Horton will introduce a new song,
" The Fairy Queen," written and composed by Mrs, Ma_
berly.
We understand that Dr. Locock received the
sum of 1,0001. for his services at the accouchement of her
Majesty.
