ways comes forward with eagerness to offer you their
sincere wishes for the complete prosperity of your
MAJESTY, of your Royal Family, and of France.
The prodigious duration of the general peace is the
most striking proof of the deep sagacity of your
MAIESTY, and of the other Sovereigns, and of the
perfect accord existing between the various Cabinets.
The gratitude of the whole world can only be equalled
by the greatness of the benefits which it receives
from them. With the protection of Heaven this
noble work will continue to produce its wonders."
To which the KING replied :
" I am much touched at hearing you appreciate, as
you have just done, my constant efforts to prevent every-
thing that could bring down on France and the world the
dreadful ple4.,ue of war, and to cultivate and prolong es
much as depends on me, the happy accord which sub-
sists between all Sovereigns and all Governments, I unite
with you most sincerely in thanking God for having so
efficaciously protects d it. Each new year of pewm which
Providence accords us ii an add:tional pledge of its sta.
bility ; and when in casting our eyes on tie past, we
reckon with joy the numerous 3 ears of peace which we
have enjoyed, we can read in the future with the same
confidence, and foretel to the world a long continuation
of this great bionefit."

DUTCH 2Li4IL.

THE HActiz, DEC. 27.—The following is the passace
in the Haarlem Journal, which has given occasion to the
prosecution which we mentioned in our paper of the
24th inst.

" What can the nation yet expect from a :Thamber,
most of the Members of which constantly show that their
sole object is money, who do not consid: r themselves as
the bulwark of the nation, but who look on a seat in the
Chambers as a footstool, by means of which they may be
able to ribe, by basely binding themselves to the ♦iews
of the Government, and so to obtain for themselves and
their families some delicate morsel from the Government
kitchen. Such, with few exceptions, is the conduct of
those whom we are forced to consider as our representa-
tives."

According to the preliminary report of the central
section, fitty Members of the Second Chamber
took part in the examination on the sections of the
new projects of law relative to the elective franchise-29
Members declared it as their opinion that these projects
were not in accordance with the fundaments( law, and
that the proposal made by the Government did not seem
to them to be admissable. Seven Members did not ex-
plicitly state their opinions on this point; the other 14
Members did not find anything unconstitutional in the
project of law used before them, but some of them thought
that all doubt was not wholly removed; some even
thought that the several questions to which this project
of law related would never be regulated in a satisfactory
manner till a change shall have been made in article 6
of the fundamental law.

AMSTERDAM, DEC. 27.—At the request of his Royal
Highness the Prince of Orange, his Majesty has teen
pleased to allow his Royal Highness to retire from the
post of Inspector-General of the Infantry, with thanks
to the Prince for his services.

BorrEnnAm, DEc. 26.—A remarkable robbery was
committed here last night. The thieves having taken
possession of a boat, proceeded to a warehouse belonging
to the Commercial Company's stores, where they forced
an entrance, and carried off no fewer than 66 bales of
coffee ; the police, however, stopped the boat as they
were going to land the stolen goods. One of the thieves
was taken, and the other (for there were only two as it
seems) jumped overboard and escaped.
BREDA, DEC. 21.—A singular circumstance took
place here to-day :M. K. Klyn, an old man, nearly 86
years of age, kept the 25th anniversary of his marriage
with his fifth wife.

AMSTERDAM, JAN. I.—ln the course of the year
1845 the number of merchantmen that have arrived here
amounted to 2,426. From ports in Great Britain there
were—

From London l6l
Sunderland
Hartlepool
Cardiff 26
Liverpool
Grangemouth
Hull
Newcastle
Seaham..
Stockton

We learn from good authority that the accounts of
the failure of the coffee crop in Java and elsewhere have
induced the Netherlands Commercial Company to re-
solve that, the quantity in the spring of 1846 shall not
exceed 200,000 bales, and that the best qualities shou:d
be selected. The farmers have observed that when the
winter is likely to be severe they bury themselves deeper
under ground, and this is in proportion to the severity
of the expected frost. Thus, for instance, last year they
were five feet under ground, whereas they
.are this year
only two inches below the surface, which indicates that
the winter will be mild. This is confirmed by the bees,
which fait winter wholly closed up their hives, but have
left them nearly op: n this year.
FLUSHING, DEC. 30.--The editor of our Courant was
examined to-day for the second time by the justice of
Middleburg, respecting the article which is the subject
of a prosecution, when he declared that he would be
responsible for it, the writer rvat being known to him.
UTRECHT, DEC. 31.—The provincial tribunal pro-
nounced its sentence (stating its reasons at great length)
on the affair of M. Vandersteen, assuming the fact to
' be as stated in the indictment, if decided contrary to the
prevailing judgment of the high council that duelling
is not punishable according to the penal code, and con-
sequently declared the accused to be fully acquitted.
AMSTERDAM, JAN. I.—The Directors of the Rhenish
Railway are still negotiating with the departments of
finance of the interior, respecting a line from Rotterdam
to Utrecht and the prolongation of that from Arnheim
to the Prussian frontier.
TILBEAG, DEC. 30.—Within these two days the
waters have risen to such a height that a great extent of
land on the river Ley is overflowed, and much dumage
done to the bridges and buildings.
LEYDEN, JAN. 1. —Her Royal Highness the Princess
of Orange was suddenly taken ill while attending divine
service on Sunday, so that she was obliged to leave the
church. Though her Royal Highness is still suffering,
there is reason to hope that she will soon recover.
