DUTCH AND GERMAN PAPERS.
THE HAGUE, Nov. 14.—The King arrived this morn-
ing at ten o'clock from his visit to the province of Lim-
burg. His Majesty left his seat at Vaeshartelt, near
Maestricht, at 12 o'clock at night. During his short stay
his Majesty was pleased to grant various favours to
many of the civil and military authorities.
THE HAGUE, Nov. 15.—His Royal Highness the
Prince of Orange will return from Stuttgard, on the
4th of December. It is expected that all the members
of the Royal Family will have returned to this place by
the 6th of this month, which is his Majesty's birthday.
His Excellency Count Schimmel Penninck, newly ap-
pointed Ambassador extraordinary and Minister Pleni-
potentiary to the court of London, has been expected
here for some days, but has been detained by constant
indisposition.
ROTTERDAM, Nov. 14.—The spirit of emigration ap-
pears to begin in this city, several families are going on.
board a ship bound to America, with a great number of
natives of Zealand and the other provinces, who are
going to seek their fortune in a foreign land. Many
more families are preparing to follow their example.
THE HAGUE, Nov. 16.—We understand that all the
persons condemned for the disorders at Delft, have with-
drawn their appeal to the Court of Cessation, and have
signed a petition for pardon.
CRACOW (From the Frontier), Noy. 9.—1 communi-
cate to you according to authentic information that the
three protecting Powers of Cracow have taken the reso-
lution to put an end to the independence of the Republic
which so seriously endanger the repose of the neighbour-
ing states, and immediately to sanction the union of the
territory with the Austrian states, to which it already
belonged, previously to 1809 As the Prussian and
Austrian Commissioners, at the conference in Vienna,
are said to have been authorised by their Courts to ar-
range some commercial matters interesting to the three
Powers, without being obliged previously to refer to
Berlin and St. Petersburg, and as these relations do not
appear to offer any particular difficulties, it may be taken
for grauted, that within a few days, the publication of
this decision will take place in Cracow, and you may,
therefore, consider the abolition of the Republic and the
re-union of this little territory with Austria, as already
done. The continued existence of Cracow, as an inde-
pendent state, has been recognised as incompatible with the
tranquillity of the Polish territory, and the safety of
Germany, and the three powers, which without the co-
operation and sympathy, nay, the slightest help of any
other European power, had established the Republic, as
it were by way of trial, whether a shadow of Polish in-
dependence were still possible, resolved at length finally
to abolish their own work, which had not answered
their expectations. I said the foundation of the Re-
public had been made by way of trial, as both origi-
nally, and by subsequent conventions, it was expressly
decreed by the protecting powers, that, in case circum-
stances should render the continued existence of the
Republic dangerous, or less advisable, it should be
abolished, and the country again united with Austria.
The establishment of the Republic was, therefore, com-
bined by the powers, with a conditional duration, either
purposely, or in obscure anticipation of subsequent
events. _ _

BERLIN, Nov. 13.—The following cabinet order has
been issued respecting gun cotton, and other similar pre-
parations :—" As the explosive substances known by the
name of gun cotton, and other similar preparations,
being preparations of cotton wools, &c., which, with re-
spect to their rapid explosion, are at least as dangerous
as gunpowder, I hereby order, in consequence of your
report of the 27th of last month, that from this time,
throughout the extension of the whole monarchy, that
all legal measures, and police ordinances, and penalties,
relative to the manufacture, safe keeping, transmitting,
and sale of gunpowder, at present existing, to prevent
danger, shall be fully applicable in respect to the above
mentioned manufacture. You are to publish this decree
by my order, in the Bulletin of the laws.—Sans Souci,
Nov. 6, 1846.—Signed, FREDERICK WILLIAM —To the
Minister of State, Von Bodelschwingh, Uden, and Von
Duesberg.—Prussian State Gazette, Nov. 14.

THE POLISII BALL.—Last night the grand ball
and concert, in aid of the funds of the Association of
the Friends of Poland, took place at Guildhall under
circumstances of more than usual attraction and splen-
dour. It was very numerously attended, upwards of
two thousand persons being present, some few of whom
were dressed in fancy costume. Amongst those present
we observed—Lords Hertford, Granville, Munster.
Torrington, Paulett, Dudley C. Stuart; Lady M. Fox,
Lady Webster, Hon. Mrs. D. Darner, Mr. and Mrs.
Townsend, Hon. Mrs. Abbot, lion. Captain Jocelyn,
Colonel Brownlow Knox, T. Milner Gibson, Lord A.
Lennox, Honourable C. P. Villiers, Montague Gore,
M.P., J. A. Smith, M.P., and lady, Mr. and Mrs.
Thomson Hankey, the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress,
Mr. Sheriff Kennard and lady, Aldermen Johnson,
Farebrother, Wilson, Hooper, and Sir J. Duke, Baron
and Baroness Dimsdale and the Misses Dimsdale.
Adam's band supplied the music; Messrs. Bathe and
Breach the refreshments; and in both departments
everything went off satisfactorily.
SENDING THE HAT ROUND.—We understand that
the Eton Montem has been discontinued this year, in
consequence of the Mendicity Society having given notice
to the principals of the college that they should be com-
pelled to take all boys into cu3tody they found begging
on the public highway.—Punch.
