DUTCH MAIL.

THE HAGUE, APRIL 57—It is Affirmed here (says
the Haarlem Courant) that his Majesty the K!ng wid go
to Amst•rclam on the 13 h of this month.

LUXEMBURG, APRIL 3.—lnformation has lately been
published in this city that the King, our Grand Duke,
intends to pay us a visit in the course of next month.
This news has caused great joy here. Our city has
never been honoured by a visit from any of the Royal
and Grand Ducal family. It was reserved for King
William 11., to give us that pleasure. Both the Magis-
gistrates and private persons are doing their utmost to
give his Majesty a brilliant reception, and to prove our
gratitude for the bent fits which his Majesty has con-
ferred upo.. us since his Accession to the throne.
ROTTERDAM, APRIL s.—Letters were received on
the 30th of last month at K•eO, coming from Copenha-
gen, at which time it was expected there that the Sound
duty would be reduced to 1 per cent. of the value on
all goods, with a deduction of one-fourth on importation
into the ports of the BAltic.
We learn from Mayence that on the 28th of March,
the fine steamer the Waal, belonging to the Nether-
lands Steam Navigation Cornpany,performed the voyage
from Cob!eotz to Mayence in seven hours and fifty
minutes. Tnis is the quickest passage ever yet made
by a steamer between these two cities. The Weal
passed the Victoria, belonging to the Cologne Com-
pany, and the Guttenburg, belonging to the Dussel-
dorff, which had lighted their fi es an hour, or an hour
and a half beiure it.—Dutch Papers, April 7.

BRUSSELS and GERMAN PAPERS.

BRUSSELS, APRIL 4.—The only thing that we can affirm
respecting the Ministerial crisis is that it is not true, as as-
' serted by a Journal celebrated in Europe for its unauthenti.
rated intelligence, that the ordinance appointing new Ajinis-
ters will appear t o-m or. ow in the Moniteur. Nothing will be
done before the end of the Session of the Senate, which is sum-
moned for the 6th of Apr I.
We foresaw that the King's erdinance would not act with
precipitation in a state of things of so serious a nature, and
which require mature reflecti.n., However desirable and ne-
cessary a speedy solution may be, it is better to wait a few
days tit. people's minds have become calm, than to enter rashly
on a course, from which it might perhaps be difficult to depart.
An address to the King for a dissolution of the Chambers
was voted unanimously by the Municipal Council of Ghent on
the 2d, in the evening.
BRUSSELS, APRIL s.—Baron Honnenty the Saxon Mi-
nister Plenipotentiary at Paris, arrived at Brussels yesterday
morning, on his way to Germany.
The Moniteur Belge does not contain anything relating to
the Ministerial crisis, not even as much as an allusion to the
subject.
ROME, MARCH 18.—The Russian Prince Gallitzin is build-
ing a splendid palace here in the style of the Palace de la
Cansellaria, not far
,from the College i Chmentino. It is
probable that the Prince means to fix his residence in Rome.
The accounts from Syria are very melancholy., '1 he
fresh murder (connected with that of Father Thomas)
is confirmed by letter from Aleppo, so that the fir-
man which the English and French agents obtained from
the Sultan as a declaration of the innocence of the Jews
of Da ascus, in respect to tie clearly proved murder of Father
Thomas, appears to be considered by them as a license for the
perpetration of new atrocities against the Christians—at all
events, the Christians in the East will probably need more
powerful protection than the Porte can afford them. In
Aleppo already they suffer severely under the government of
Ibrahim Pacha, and we hear the bitterest comilaints of losses
of property. On the whole, the representations which we re-
ceive of the situation of the Christians and of the tyranny ex-
ercised towards them are truly afflicting.

MR COLQUHOUN, M.P.—Mr. Colquhoun, of
Kil:ermont, M P., has again published a disclaimer of his
Presbyterianism. He is much afraid of being thought
member of the Church of Scotland, and most anxious to
clear himself of the charge of communi at with her humble
fold. It was once otherwise. We remember him a pro-
fessing Whig—certainly only a nominal Whig. He is
now a High Tory. We remember him also a professing
Presbyterian, and a member of the General As.embly of
the Church of Scotland—he says now he wns only "a
nominal cldar," and that he is notwithstan. i g a thorough
Episcopalian. At all evens, it is pinin that Mr. Colquiwun
has been nominally ,ne tiing and really another; and this
is no recommend-tion.— Caledonian Mercury.

We much rejoice to find that the staple trade
of our city, upon tie prosi.erous stare of which so large
a portion of our working classes depenri, continues to
receive the countenance and patronage of the highest per-
sonages of the Court Mr. Li'ln gt:in, of the Cross,
lately forwarded to the Queea DovraAer, pursuant to or-
der, a large parcel cf of various sorts, the mate-
rial of the whole beirg of the best description, and the
cutting and make genet aly most excellent, A like order
has also been ju,t exeetat. d by Mr. Litlington fur our
most gracious Queen.— Worcestershire Chronicle.

ANTRIM ELECTION.—A contest is threatened
here. We have ourselves soni, thing to say upon the sub-
ji et, but we shall wait a more fi ting opportunity. The
two candidates are Mr. M‘Donntll, of Glenarm Castle.
and Mr. Nathaniel Alexander, rt. Portglenone. The Mail
supports the former--the Packet the latter. We copy the
following from a Belfast paper :--" We understand that
the majority of the leving int( rt sts in the county have
signified their intention of supporting Mr. M'Donnell.
Amongst then, are the Hertford, Palt,tribam, Mountcashel,
Dungannon, Ferrard, and Machaughten fan Dies. Mr.
M•Donriell arrived 0 is morning in Belltst, by the Falcon
steamer, from Liverpool, and has commenced his canvass.
