SECOND EIATION.

SUN-OFFICE, Two o'CLocK.
A rPrort is very current upon 'Change that an
an IN3UIRBCTION HAS BROKEN OUT IN PARIS ;
that there hail been a good deal of fighting, and
that a number of lives had been lost ! We
have been desirous of tracing this rumour to
some authentic source ; but, we are sorry to say,
without being able to accomplish that object.---
Government have received no intelligence of the
kind; and as our Funds have improved a little,
the matter must for the-present rest upon its own
probability as a City report. We arc afraid it is
not to be relied upon. • I

A vessel was burnt at Deptford last night, said
to be the .Olive Branch, for New Brunswick, with
a valuable cargo.

THE FOREIGN OPERA,-,-PEtt ARI'S Serious Opera
of L'Eroina di Raab, which he composed for CA -
TALANt's last Benefit, was successfully performed
last night, for the first tinie this season. The first
Act, which is. by far the best, met with great and
deserved applause ; and the Trio in the Finale
was encored. SESSI sung very well indeed ; but
it is not possible to forget CATALANI was the ori-
ginal.. GENt was the substitute for TuAugrzion,

UNITED NETimn LANDS.

The general Peace promises to our country those fruits of
industry which were wont, in times of peace, to introduces
great' prosperity amongst its.
The establishment of a good Government, grounded on the
old national laws and usages, and the result of the experience
of many ages, proMised us internal tranquillity, and a capa-
city for all necesiaitY-undertakings. The wise administration
of your Majesty,, which has united all parties and persua-
sions, has inspired us with the hope that in regard to inter-
nal measures, no parties will in future subsist, and no dif-
lerence of sentiment be remarked. -
Should, however, the recent events in a neighbouring
kingdom, of which your Majesty has made mention, bring
the torch of war again upon our confines, then the undivided
strength of this new state, will, in the hands of your Majes-
ty, serve to maintain our independence unimpaired.
What pledges have we not in the past of what your Ma-
;
jesty's Government 'will in future accomplish The old
Dutch virtues of discretion, order, and frugality, in the
highest degree possessed by your Majesty, will be cherished
by your example. Your Majesty not only gathers the fruits
of the heroism and policy of your great forefathers, but
marches forward with firm step iu the renowned path opened
by them. 'We sit here sarrounded by their venerable por-
traits, and they seear to look with complacency on their for-
tunate descendant, who, supported by more powerful means,
in like manner as they laboured and fought for the freedom
of this State and of Europe, will display the same inestimable
endowments, and place a crown on the heatl of the House of
' Orange, still more brilliant than the kingly. Your Majesty
- manifestly enjoys the same blessing of Heaven as "they,
ore
your undertakings; and your short administration has been
already signalised by a series of wonders, of which examples
can hardly be found in the history of our country. A volun-
tary insurrection, assistance poured in from all sides, the
Sovereignty estalisV4 in the House of Orange, the Consti-
tution drawn up 'aria adopted, oar bitter enemy changed into
a friend, all the fortresses and posts evacuated by him, peace
signed, and lastly, all these benefits confirmed by the gnae
rantee of all Europe. Who does nut perceive in all this the
evident hand of the Almighty ?
Go on then, Sire, under the Divine blessing; proceed ia
your illustrious and virtuous career, surrounded by a tender
consort, excelling in- heroism and the tender virtues, by a sa-
gacious and high-minded mother, a loving sister and daughter,
by brave sons, your and our hope,—proceed, applatuled by all
nations, vigorously supported by your people, whose hearts
all unite in one feeling, which their mouths with one accord
pronounce of Lice the King;

The following is the Address of the States-Ge•
nerd of tilt-United Netherlands, in reply to the
Speed delivered by his Majesty.on the 17th net.
Sire,—We thank your Majesty for the communication. of
what has been ttansacted at the Congress. We have learned
with peculiar satisfaction, that the state of our native coon-
try is built upon firmer foundations than ever, and that our
beloved Sovereign Prince has been invited by the wish of all
Europe to assume the Royal dignity.
We heartily congratulate your Majesty on this new lustre
for your pers&n and for the House of Orange; and wo con-
ceive that thelffstre of this People, among whom your Ma-
jesty was born, cannot fail to receive an additien from the
greater respectability of its Chief. '
The people of the Netherlands, in the formation of their
constitution, made. no mention of the title of the Sovereign
Prince, well knowing that any resolution on that subject,more
deptaided on the agreement of the Powers, than on their deci-
sion; but it was eves then the wish and expectation of all
true Netherlanders, that when they, for the general welfare,
had invested your Majesty with the supreme rank, you should
also take your place among the crowned herds of Europe.
The of all the Netherlands is one of those remarkable
events with which this new era has commenced. It.has not
taken place merely on our account, but is it consequence of
theconviction Of all the powers, that the balance of Europe
reqefred the strengthening of our country.
Through the maintenance of that balance, in the mean
time, this union is most salutary fa, us. W subsist simply in
consequence of that political baLoce; our foreiathers helped
to maintain it by their blood and treasure; and when at last
it was broken, we tasted the bitter fruits of that oppression,
from which.they knew how to protect themselves. One of the
most efficient means in their hands, both to protect our inde-
pendence and that political balance, was those very Nether-
lands with which we are now united. 'William I. wi-bed to
lay the foundations of the independence of all, and Wi;nessed
the separation of S. as of them with grief. Prince Maurice
hoped still to gain over those separated, anal declared to their
DepUties that religion should be no hindrance. After the/
seemed to be_irrecovetably lost, our greatest statesmen be;;
to consider them as a sort of advanced bulwark which could
only he it4tsnillie hands of our friends. To this the wars
bear testimony, which for a century and a half were waged
under William M., under John William Friso, and under
your Majesty, himself, and your brother Prince Frederick,
and which had no other object. This deficient bulwark is
now, however, restored : all the Netherlands have again be-
come, as in the time of. Charles V. a monarchy under one
Dutch King ; and all parts of this extensive State can now,
more then ever, furnish aid to each other. Our independence
is consequently better secured, than even William 111. could
have flattered himself it would have been.
Under the otection of this independence we are secured
in the tranquil enjoyment of our freedom, oar property, and
the fruits of our industry; and among all the advantages
which we now possess, this of independence is the principal
and most important,• as withourit the Others could nut
subsist.
Without this urea independence in the heart of the State,
our valuable possessions in other parts of the world became
the easy prey either of the power which subjugates us or of
his enemy; as we have seen in our days. Through the main-
tenallce of our independence in Europe, we remained for
two centuries in possession of our commerce and colonies.
We had, by the greatest exertions, more than once repelled
the enemy from our frontiers, or driven him from our terri-
tories ; but never had we lost our share in the dominion of
the seas: Our wise Fathers, led by the Princes of Orange,
effected this by a selection of allies among the Powers of Eu-
rope, and their well-tried policy is at this moment regene-
rated. We participate in the free navigation of all seas ;
our new brothers, after a long privation, will with us enjoy
their share; and the genera/ prosperity, which may he thence
fOreseen, will double our strength for our own defence. Very
recently, we could not have thought that an opportunity was
so near when the means of defence would be put to the
proof.
