THE HAGUE, JUNE 17.—The anniversary of the
birthday of her Royal Highness the Princess of Orange
was kept here to-day in the usual manner. There was
a grand review of all the troops of the garrison.
The King set out at five o'clock this morning for the
Loo, where the Princess's birthday is to be kept with
great splendour. There is to be a magnificent falcon
hunt in the course of the day, and fireworks in the
evening in front of the palace. There is a considerable
concourse of strangers of distinction at the Loo, to be
present at the falcon hunt. The Duke and Duchess of
Leeds arrived yesterday from London.
We are assured, that since the King's return, Baron
Van Grotestein, intendent of the Royal Theatre, has
been instructed to request Mademoiselle Rachel, when
she passes through this place, on her way from Belgium
to England, to act a few times in the Royal Theatre
here.
UTRECHT, JUNE 30.—Our journals are filled with
detailed descriptions of the fites given by the students
to celebrate the 210th anniversary of the foundation of
our university.
The Procession representing the entry of Philip 11.,
Prince of Spain, into Utrecht, October 30, 1549.—This
procession or masquerade had been got up with the
greatest care. All the persons concerned were in the
costume of that time, and the dresses of the re-
presentatives of the many historical characters,
which were very splendid, had a most brilliant effect.
Among them were Philip H., William of Orange,
Duke Alba, Maximilian of Burgundy, Albert Van
Egmont, Bishop of Utrecht, and many of the most
remarkable characters of that age. The weather being
extremely fine the concourse of persons to witness these
very interesting fetes was very great, and all will long
remember with pleasure the scenes they have enjoyed
on this occasion.

A WATERLOO MUSKET-BALL.—We were yesterday
(Thursday), the 31st anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo, favoured
with the sight of a musket• ball that had wounded one of our brave
soldiers In the midst of that great battle. Between three and four '
o'clock on the afternoon of the 18th of June, 1815, whilst the second
battalion of British infantry, under the command of Lord Harris, in
solid square, was resisting a charge of French Cuirassiers, led on by
Marshal Key, private James Brian, of the 73d Regiment, received a
musket-ball in the head just above the left, temple. He was carried
off the field by his comrades, apparently dead, but ultimately re-
covered, and now resides in Beck-street, in this town. Many efforts
have been made to extract the ball, but they all proved ineffectual ;
on Tuesday last, however, it made its way out, through the poor
fellow's mouth, after having subjected him to almost continued
torture since it entered. He is now, we are happy to say, free from
pain,' and appears likely to enjoy better health than he has done since
, he left the army. The ball on one side was quite flattened,-11 otts
