DUTCH and GERMAN PAPERS.

THE DLc• 6.—The fetes at Amsterdam
on the occaAon of the inauguration, ended on Friday
evening w'th a gala representation at the Italian Opera
Hou,c.
We hear from Berlin that his Majesty William Fre-
derick having taken up his residence in the palace of
Prince Albert, was c 01cm-led there by the King and
Queen of Prussia, who had come from Charlottenburg,
and dined at Court the following day.
To-day being the 48th anniversary of the King's
birthday, it has been observed with the usual ceremonies.
ANNTERDANto DEC. B.—The Aleppel Courant ap-
pears to have contained, a few days ago, a very ab-
surd and anti-Dutch article. At least we found in the
French newspapers that our country and government,
on the strength of that article, had considered of
nothing less than aiming at the recovery of Belgium,
and at the ,same time of wishing to get possession of
some of the northern departments of that kingdom as
our share of the spoil.

The Journal de la Italic of to-day justly expresses its
surprise that sensible persons at Paris should pay any
attention to the absurdities of a journal which is scarcely
known in Holland, and still more that they should take
these absurdities for the expressions of the sentiments
of the nation, and the Government.
We see, however, from the offensive remarks to
which this article of the ilfcppcl Courant has given oc-
casion abroad, new materials to add to the com•-
bustible matters which, by faults and follies of all kinds,
have been so accumulated in France, and threaten the
race of Europc.—Dutch Papers, Dec. 9.
BERLIN, DEC. 6.—The Journal de St. Petershourc
of the ',-Itta of November contains, in a letter from
Constantinople of 1 Ith November, an account of the
taking of St. Jean d'Aere.—Prussian State Gazelle,
Dec. S.~•

THE SELF-STYLED " HENRY V."--Henry of
France has just called to Lis e.)uneils M. de Vidaret-
jdyeu.,3 His in•ention is to visit the principal parts in
the Adriatic, and to
cstudy during that new voyage every
part of the org.inisatmn, materiel, and administration of
the navy that a French Prince ought to be acquainted
with. Henry of France could not choose a better guide
than M. de Villarct. Having entered the service when
very young, he was for several years attached to the de-
, Fritment of the Minister of Marine, ;.r.d commanded in
18'30 the Admiral's ship at the time of the glorious expedi.
tin aga,esr. Africa. M. de Villaret will find at Venice
precious leminisecnces; his father was Governor under
the empire ; his memory, which is dear to the French
nation, is still venerated in a country where Admiral VA.-
facet Jaycuse knew how to cause our dominion to be he-
Quotithenne (j. Friday.
