SECOND CHAMBER OF THE STATES

GENERAL.

THE HAGUE, OCT. 27.--In the sitting this day the
President announced to thf-) Assembly that the First
Chamber had adhered to the project of the address in
reply to the speech from the Throne, and that the
Committee charged with presenting this address to
the KING was present to give au account of its mission.
M. VAN DAM VAN ISSETT, President of the Coin-
mittce, stated that after the Committee had been re-
ceived by the KING, and his :MAJESTY had heard the
address, he made the following reply :
_ _ _

`• Noble and Mighty Lords, I receive this address
with very lively satisfaction. I hare ever attached
much value to a p?rfect concordance of opinions
between representatives of the people and myself, but,
under present circumstances, this unanimity of opi-
nion assumes a double value in my eyes.
" I must express to you the gratitude and satis-
faction which I feel at this moment. I cherish the
firm conviction that, so long as the Prince and the
nation shall continue to walk together in the same
road, and have no other object than the general
welfare, the blessings of the Almighty will never be
invoked in vain."

In the sitting of to-morrow the project of law for
covering the deficit arising from the ways and means
will he discussed.

STATES OF THE ZOLLVEREIN.

The resolution taken by the French Government
on the 10th June last, according to which a pre-
mium of exportation is granted to some products of
national industry, has induced the Union of the GL-r-
-man Customs to make reprisals, and it has charged
these same articles with higher duties on their im-
portation into the States of the Zollverein. Inde-
pendently of this, in consequence of the general
tendency which the decree of the Customs' Union
indicates, several Governments, besides that or the
Netherlands, have addressed the Cabinet 7,t Berlin
respecting the proposition on which the resolution of
the Diet was framed, and have made representations
against the application of this measure on the mer-
cantile products of other countries. However, as it is
probable that the resolution which will be adopted on
these divers representations may be yet retarded some
time, it is probable that increased duties may be de-
manded also on these same products on their impor-
tation into the Zollverein.
It is therefore the interest of Dutch merchants that
they provide themselves beforehand with the neces-
sary certificates of origin. These documents will
afterwards be available for reclaiming the restitution
of the increase of duty which they may have been
obliged to pay, if, as may be anticipated, the mea-
sure in question may be made to extend to products
of Netherlands manufacture.

Yesterday, at seven o'clock in the evening, there
was a Cabinet Council, which lasted till eleven
o'clock.

On the same evening the Council of the State held
an extraordinary sitting, which sat till a late hour.—

SWITZERLAND.

The Bishop of FRIBOURG was arrested on the 25th,
for having taken part in an attempt to overthrow the
Government. The insurrection was suppressed.

ITALY.

Advices from Venice of the 13th state, that the
Austrians have abandoned Mestre.

The Prease contains an article given as communi-
cated which states that the German central power
has just made by its representative, M. llacnscuEe,
overtures to the Sardinian Cabinet for the purpose of
facilitating an honourable peace between Austria and
King CUARLES ALBERT. In order to prove that this
step only emanates from a sincere desire to maintain
universal peace in the common interest of Europe,
M. llacKscliza is charged to inform the Court of
Turin that the German central power has already taken
all the necessary measures to aid Austria to repel a
new aggression on the part of Sardinia. Whilst the
troops of the German Confederation have been placed
at the orders of the Emperor of AUSTRIA, in order
that this latter might not need either to call to his aid
against the insurgents of Vienna Alarshal RADETSR.Y,
nor to weaken the Austrian army in Lombardy, the
Bavarian contingent, the communication declares, is
ready to enter the Tyro and Styria, as soon as Mar-
shal RADETZKY should demand reinforcements to sup-
part the struggle in Lombardy with energy. After
having thus warned the Sardinian Government of
fir dangers which it runs in continuing a war, the
chances of which have not hitherto been favourable to
it, the central German power declares a conviction
that no foreign government is more naturally called
on to act as mediator than itself, and expresses a hope
that its efforts may be successful.
The Piedmenteae Gazette of the 231 inst. announces
that King CHARLES ALBERT had appointed Baron
EUSEBE BAVA General-in Chief of the royal army;
Lieutenant-General CEIRZANOWSKI Chief of the Ge-
neral Staff; General A. OLIVIERI Commander-Ge-
neral of the troops of the divi.•ion of A lessandria ; and
General RAMORINO Commander-General of the Lom-
bard troops.

The Piaria of Florence of the 21st publishes six te-
legraphic dispatches from MoNTANELLz to the GRAND
DUKE, all dated the 20th, and sent between 11 A.M.
and 4 which prove the state of agitation at Leg-
horn on that day. These dispatches contain in sub-
stance, that an armed demonstration is in progress at
Leghorn, and emissaries are being sent to the differ
ent parts of Tuscany; that the people in arms are
occupying the forts and the gates ; that hostages will
be required; and that the Governor has no more
power, and wishes to leave, but is retained. By
two subsequent telegraphic dispatches from
the Minister of the Interior, MONTANELLI vuis
ordered to lay down his powers if his authority was
not recognised, and to repair to Florence. He arrived
in fact at 11 r.m , by an extraordinary railroad train.
The Alba of Florence of the evening of the 21st, how-
ever, states that tranquillity had been restored at
Leghorn. Some persons had attempted to plant a
tree of liberty there. MONTANELLI had hastened to
the spot, and harangued the people, who loudly cheered
him. Several agitators had been arrested.
The Patria of Florence of the 21st.states that GARi.
bAun has opened registers for such volunteers as
will follow him to Lombardy, where he listen&
waging a war of extermination, giving no quarter
and accepting none. Many young men have already
inscribed their names.

The great inconvenience to which the officers of
her 4lii,.st.3's Navy have been subjected,being
paid w
paid off at Devonport, in consequence of having to send
to the Custom-house, at Plymouth, all presents or such
other articles brought home by them subject to duties,
will in all probability soon be obviated, the spirited pro-
prietors of the Devonport Bonding Company, whose
warehouses are situate at Mutton Cove, have in a laud•
able sprit proposed to the Lords Commissioners of her
Majesty's Treasury, to appropriate one of the floors of
their substantial premises for the reception of the articles
before alluded to, and we feel assured that the proposal
must meet with the cordial support of the present in-
telligent officer who fills the important office of the Col.
lector at Plymouth and the Landing Surveyor.—Devon-
port Independent.
