FLANDERS AND DUTCH MAIL.

GHENT, JUNE 3.—During the month of May, 1839,
93 ships entered the port of Antwerp ; during the
month of May, 1840, there arrived 174—difference
81 in favour of this year. The increase in American
ships has been from 1 to 11 ; in English, from 1 to 91 ;
in Hanoverian, from 9 to 35 ; in Dutch, from 0 to 12.
All our brother Journalists eagerly repeat this good
news, which proves the pleasure they take in the im-
provement of our commerce. But we beg leave to re-
mind them that some of them were vehement adversa-
ries of the treaty of April ; and there could have been
no such ,important increase in the number of ships if
their opposition had triumphed.
BRUSSELS, JUNE s.—The Chamber lris continued
to-day the debate on the loan of ninety millions. Seve-
ral Members of the Chamber of Representatives have
argued a motion which they have laid on the table of
the Chamber, proposing to authorise a search for and
seizure in the interior of the country of goods fraud
lently introduced into the country.
THE HAGUE, JUNE 30.—The Second Chamber met
this morning, and the whole of the fifty-five members
were present. The debate on the alterations in the
fundamental law, was continued, and particularly in the
project of law. Forty-one members voted for, and
fourteen against it. The President said—" By article
232 of the fundamental law, it is declared that all pro-
posals for changes are to be approved by three-fourths
of the members, now, as forty-ene are not three-fourths
of fifty-five, 1 think his Majesty must be requested,
with thanks for his readiness to promote the interest o
the country, to take this matter into further considers
ation. Messrs. Lusac and Schemmelpenninek declared
against the opinion of the President. Messrs. Corts
and Van de Poli for it.
A great many members desired the question on the
President's opinion to be put ; on which the President
said—" As there is a difference of opinion respecting
article 232, and I myself agree that there are good rea-
sons for this difference, I make no objection to its
being decided by a majority of votes, with the under-
standing that the votes against my opinion are to be con-
sidered as given for sending the project of law in the
usual manner to the First Chamber.
Forty members voted against, and nine for the motion,
so that the project was sent to the First Chamber.
In the evening sitting the debate was continued,
and several clauses of the Bill were agreed to.
THE HAGUE, JUNE 4.—The debate was continued
on the project. No. '2 on the Civil List was agreed to,
after some debate, by 47 to 8. M. Laybon, who had
made some objections, declaring himself perfectly satis
fled by the explanation given by the Minister of Justice,
Nos. 3, 4,5, and 6 were agreed to.
The debate on No. 7 was adjourned to seven in the
evening, in opposition to several Members who had de-
clared that they were quite fatigued with the long
debate.

In the evening sitting the debate on Law 7, rela-
tive to the defence of the kingdom, was continued, and
after some debate it was agreed to by 36 to 16 votes,
'The order of the day was the debate on the Pro-
ject of Law on the responsibility of Ministers, which
was unanimously agreed to.
THE HAGUE, JUNE s.—The Central Section having
made its report on the Project of Law for abolishing the
Syndicate law on Monday, the debate took place to-day ;
after some objections, which were replied to by the Mi-
nister of Finance, it was agreed to by 41 to 11.
BERLIN, MAY 28.—We now learn for certain that
the Emperor of Russia does not intend to come from
Warsaw to Berlin. The Emperor and Empress, we
learn from Warsavr, were to arrive yesterday (the 27th)
at Grajew, on the frontiers of Poland and Prussia.
At Warsaw the Emperor will have a gland review of
the troops, but the Empress will make a very short
stay. The day of her Majesty's arrival at Berlin is
uncertain.
BERLIN, JUNE 2.—His Imperial Highness, the
Grand Duke Alexander, has arrived here from Darm-
stadt, and taken up his residence in the Royal Palace.
BERLIN, JUNE 23.—The Grand Duchess of Meck-
lenburg Schwerin and her daughter have arrived at
the Royal Palace.
The Prussian State Gazette gives a very long ac-
count of the ceremony of laying the first stone of tin.-
monument in honour of Frederick the Great.
TURKISH FRONTIER, MAY 22.—Prince Michael o
Servia is already gone from Belgrade to Kragugewatz,
and was received with great joy in all the places through
e-hich he passed. This event may be considered as de-
cidedly favourable to the new movement. The return
to power of the counsellors, ministers, and senators who
have 2 csigned is quite out of the question, as not one
of them would venture a league into the interior of
the eountu without risking his life ; and even Belgrade
and Turkish protection may, in future, not afford
them entire security. It is said that some of them in-
tend to go to Austria, othe7s to Russia. The Rus-
sian Consul has accompanied the Prince : he will take
care that the Organic Statute remains in force, which
both the Porte and Russia seem resolved to maintain ;
and this is very desirable, that the Servian nation, in the
intoxication of triumph, may not pass the bounds of
moderation. Whether the wish of the country for the
return of Prince Milosch will be fulfilled, is doubtful,
as there are great objections to it on the part of both
Russia and the Porte ; and a breach with these two
powers w:11 hnrdly be thought advisable. Meantime
the cry for the return of Milosch becomes more and
more general. The people demand an account of the
reasons of his expulsion, which took place without the
assent of the country ; and briog fresh complaints
against those who have resigned.
John Obrenowitsch, the brother of Miloseh, is gone
to the district of Isehatschak where he formerly corn-
' mended, and, as we hear, has been received with great
joy by the
people.—Allgemeine Zeitung, June 2.
MUNICH, MAY 3 .

chess of Leuchtenberg at Munich and Jegernsee.

Viscount Pahncrston left on Friday morning, for
Broadlands. His Lordship returned yesterdaj' afternoon:—
Observer.
We had supposed that the legal question involved
in the Praintree Church-rate was at rest for ever. The de-
cision of the Court of Queen's Bench, one might have thought,
would have satisfied the most. litigious wrangler for lieclesias-
tial claims winch never had the shadow of 1e,,a1 right. But:we
were mistaken. Instead of putting up withrdeftut with a goo
grace, the Anglican Church has resolved to prosecute the con-
test by a writ of error, in the vain hope of reversing the deli-
berate judgment of the Court as given by Lord Denman. We
say the Church. because this is no private contest, but is
maintained by spiritualities in high places. The parties bring-
ing a writ of error are obliged to put in bail ; and the bail in
j the present proceeding are two dignitaries of the
AEstablisahmc°n ent,
styled the Venerable Hugh Chambers Jones, rchde •of
Essex, and the Venerable William Hale Hale, Archdeacon of
St. Albans.--Patriot.
