DU i'CH MAIL.
THE HAGUE, OCT. 22.—THE SECOND CHAMBER OF
THE STATES-GENERAL.—Several projects of law, with
the explanatory memorial, were presented to the Cham-
ber in this sitting. Among them was that for determin-
ing the employment of the surplus of the colonial re-
venue for 1845, which, according to Art. 59 of the fun-
damental law, is to be regulated by ten. It results from
this project of law that the excess of the surplus of the
year 1845 amounts to the sum of 4,718,311 E, which will
serve to cover in part the expense of the budget for the
same year. It appears also that the total revenin3
amounted to 33,104,3461. Another project of law was for
the propagation of the law of the 18th of December.
1845, containing measures to encourage importation of
provisions for the term of eleven months, that is till the
Ist of October, 1847. The nature of the pro-
pagation is stated to be, that " Though the
accounts which the Government has received res-
pecting the state of the harvest of this year shows that,
in all probability, it will not turn out so unfavourably
as last year, it is very far from being a good harvest."
The disease which has affected the rye this year and
the repeated appearance of that which affected the po-
tato-crop last year, have had an unfavourable effect on
the produce, so that it is probable that they will not ex-
ceed the half of an average crop. Most other countries
are affected in the same manner, in consequence of which
prices are everywhere high, and likely so to continue, for
which reason the Government feel it to be its duty, to
extend the law for the importation of various articles of
provisions duty free.
THE HAGUE, OCT. 23.—1 n the sitting of the States-
General of this day, a message was received from his
Majesty, with a project of law for completing the
budget of the 6th of March, 1844.
AnNnEm, OCT. 21.—T0-day several more rich per-
sons have passed through this place, with the intention
of emigrating to the United States of North America.
At the beginning of this week a miller, advanced in
years, with his wife and two children, passed through
for the same purpose. Most, if not all, of these emi-
grants complain that, on account of the pressure of the
many heavy burdens, they can no longer find a subsist-
ence in their own country.
THR HAGUE, OCT. 22.—His Majesty has been pleased
to select, from the three candidates proposed to him,
the Hon. Mr. Bruce, who was president last year. Mr.
Bruce, on taking possession of his seat, delivered an
address to the Chamber, expressing his gratitude and
satisfaction for this new mark of the confidence of his
colleagues, and of his Majesty's favour.
