arnestly to avail themselves of the offer made them to be
allowed to travel through France, in order to quit the
canton." A proposal to fix a term for the forcible expul-
sion of such of the refugees as did not quit Berne by the
day fixed, was rejected.
The Augsburg gazette of the 24th instant con-
tains the follow;:ag extract of a letter from the Prus-
sian frontier-d, dated the 17th :—" The news that the
British squadron in the Mediterranean is to be reinforced,
ha, created much surprise at Berlin. It is we auderstood what the British Minister means bynot so sin-
ll
gular a step at such a moment, when the political horizon
was becoming clear, and it was hoped that the Great
Powers were drawing nearer to each other. According to
the English ministerial journals, it is the Russo-Turkish
treaty that has given rise to the extraordinary expense of
fitting out ships of war. This is a positive waste of
British money, as the fitting out several ships the line
is either too much or too little to effect tbe annulling of
that Welty, if it be by hectoring or 'fly force. In the
former case the British Minister iouat have a very bed
opinion of the Russian Cabinet, and no knowledge of the
character of the Porte, if Ise imagines the bare appear-
ance of his squadron the Dardanelles is to effect his
Point. He seems to forget that war is the first ques-
tion here, but truirt is a wish that it should not be re-
sorted to ur,'on light grounds. Fallen, too, as the Porte
may artrekr, illusions must not be entertained; the Otto-
man Ammeter still preserves qualities which would be dis.
',rayed if necessary, especially if there was the certainty in
Constantinople of being supported by Russia. The three
Northern Powers have become recently so bound to each
other, that it is now essential that nothing should attack the
axtterests of one of them without being resented by the coali-
tion. We hear that the northern Powers, following the
example of France and England in the Belgian affair, are
about to conclude a similar treaty, to stand firmly by each
other. This would be destructive to British commerce in
the event of war. The continental system has proved to
what England can be reduced. It is known to the world
what the speculation and the treasury of England suffered
by the decree of Napoleon. Strong as the attachment of
the French Government may be towards that of England,
it could avail nothing here ; France could offer the-English
Zia compensation for the loss of their commercial dealings
in Germany, Russia, Turkey, and Italy. We think the
British Minister will do well to act with more caution in
the affairs of Turkey." The Gazette announces, under
date of Warsaw, the 15th inst., that five Poles, forming a
part of the armed bands that have recently committed
alarming depredations in the kingdom, plundering and
murdering, have been sentenced to death by a court-
martial, and shot in the province of Plotsk. Their names
were Anton Winnieki, Joseph Dombkowski, Paul Woyt_
kiewiez, Gregor Zajonz, and Ignaz Mora z. This paper

DUTCH PAPERS.

HAGUE, DEC. 23.
SECOND CIIAAIBER of theTHE
STATES-GENERAL.
The order of the day was the debate on the project of
law for the levy of the National Militia for 1834, which,
after a long and animated debate, was carried by a majority
of 31 to 19.

M. Hooft, who opened the debate with a long speech
against the measure, concluded it by saying that it appeared
to be of no use to maintain a large army since the five
greatest Powers in Europe will not allow Holland to go
to war, and the two neighbouring kingdoms that can do
us the most injury have resolved and declared that war
shall not be made. It is time to have done with
the fine sounding phrases which have already cost
us above 200 millions, and seriously to consider whether
it is possible to obtain now better terms than those against
which the Government has contended with so little suc-
cess since November, 1831. If we cannot expect this,
it is time to put an end to all useless exertions against the
general current which the affairs of Europe have followed
for these three years, and will probably continue to follow.
Messrs. de Frets, de Josephe, and Doudir Curtius spoke
in defence of the measures of the Government.
THE HAGUE, DEC. 27.—The First Chamber has to.
day agreed to the law on the national militia.
In the Second Chamber the law providing for the
deficiency in the Treasury was adopted unanimously, and
that on the land tax by 30 to 21. After which the
Chamber adjourned for the holidays till the first Tuesday
after Easter, 1834 (the Ist of April).
All the rivers of Holland have risen to a great height
in consequence of the late storms, and much damage has
been done in several places to the dikes.

noble mission will be a source of the greatest pride to you.

have entered the empire with passports, and are in-

in a long letter, in which, he tells the Vice Consul that
his quotations from Vattel and other writers are nothing
to the purpose, and only shows, that in addition to his
consular duties he has studied diplomacy. He tells him
that as a consular agent, he has unduly arrogated to him-

COMPLAINTS being frequently made to
the Publisher, respecting the Price of the Novels
sold under the above title, Mr. BENTLEY, at whose

order to remove the erroneous impression existing, to
state that each Novel appears in Three, and in one

LONDON.
MONDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 30, 1833,

A single copy of a New York paper contain-
ing the Speech of the President of the United
States on opening the Congress, has this morn-
ing been received at the North and South Ame-
rican Coffee House. In another column we
have given the most important passages of this
document, which, like most President's Mes-
sages, is of great length, but of equal interest,
affording a striking contrast to most of the
speeches of crowned heads, which are remarkable
rather for attempts to conceal facts than for
open and candid statements of the foreign and
domestic relations of their respective govern•

In the present document the President, after
congratulating the nation on the continuance of
peace and the happy increase of commerce, and
dwelling with peculiar strength upon the deter-
mination of the Government to make itself
respected at home and abroad, by demanding
only what is right and submitting to no wrong
or indignity—sentiments which we hope to see
re-echoed by our own Government and that of
France, with reference to the present state of
Europe—informs the Congress that a treaty
of commerce between the United States
and Belgium was concluded during last winter,
but that the ratification had been delayed ; tha
the claims of the Government of Brazil
had been satisfactorily adjusted ; that the
claims of the United States on the Portuguese
Government, are postponed for two years ; that
the Commission for examining the claims of
Denmark have terminated their labours, and the
amount of their award has been paid to the trea-
sury; and that the interesting question with Great
Britain, with respect to the northern boundaries,
remained still undecided.
He then congratulates the Congress on the
state of the finances, and says, that the receipts
during the year will amount to more than thirty-,
two millions of dollars, and that the Treasury
will be able to pay in the course of the present
year the residue of the exchanged 4-1 per Cent.
Stock. Having made this communication, he
adds, that if Providence should permit him to
meet them next year, he hopes to be enabled to
announce to them that Me National Debt has
been extinguished ! The PRESIDENT then
alludes to several important domestic cir-
cumstances ; but to us poor Europeans, who

Several good old ladies of the City have been
making a lament over the metamorphosis of the
narrow lanes of London into broad streets, and
have endeavoured to stop the innovation by
enumerating the empty churches which must be
pulled down in its course. Some of the more
timid of the sisterhood even fear that the metro-
polis will rise in rebellion, should the rash and
unthinking men who compose the Bridge Com-
mittee persevere in their horrible intentions,
"Meetings," quoth one of them, " are being
held in almost every church ; strong resolutions,
expressive of horror, have been passed; the moral
feelings of Englishmen will be grossly violated ;
the peace of the city will be disturbed; acts of vio-
lence will be perpetrated, and probably the per-
sonal safety of the promoters of demolition may be
endangered--and for what purpose ?" We were
almost inclined to think that we had been read-
ing something written a couple of centuries back;
but the answer to this posing question convinced
us that the writer had at least walked down
Regent-street. The answer is, " Why, to
metamorphose the ancient trading and manufac-
turing City of London into a modern town of
broad streets, squares, crescents, &c., and to
dislodge its industrious and thriving population
to make way for what we cannot tell.
Awful catastrophe 1" What manufactures
were ever carried on in St. Bartholomew-lane,
Threadneedle-street, the Poultry, East Cheap,
Knightryder-street, Thames-street, and the other
holes and corners which our contemporary (we
scarcely need say we speak of the Herald) men-
tions, we do not pretend to recollect, but doubtless
the merchants whose counting houses and
jware-
houses are there, will be desperately injured by
its being made possible to have two waggons
abreast before their doors, instead of one. In-
deed the Herald proves to demonstration, that
narrow streets, steep hills, &e., are natural con-
sequences of successful trade. It, or she
(for newspapers, like some species of birds, lose,
at a certain age, the distinguishing character-
