DUTCH PAPERS.

(PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE OF THE HANDELSELA D.)
THE HAGUE, JAN. 9.—lt is said that a courier was
despatched yesterday morning from the department of
Foreign Affairs to London, with the answer of the Go-
vernment to the last proposals of England and France.
This morning it is said that three couriers have been de-
spatched from the same department to St. Petersburgh,
Berlin, and Vienna, who are the bearers of a communica-
tion relative to this answer. With respect to the contents
of the answer nothing certain is yet known. Some per-
sons affirm that the substance of it is, that his Majesty is
ready to enter into further negotiations as soon as the gar-
rison of the citadel shall be given up, the embargo re-
voked, and our ships restored. These, however, are only
reports.
THE HAGUE, JAN. 10.—I believe I can now st ite to
you more positively, and on good authority, what I yester-
day mentioned respecting the answer of our Government
to the proposals of France and England. The answer is
said to be comprised in a counter-project, which insists,
in the first place, on the release of our ships and cargoes
in the French and English ports, and the liberty of our
countrymen who are prisoners of war.
From official returns published in the Calendar for

1833, it appears that, on the Ist of January, 1832, the
population of our kingdom amounted to 2,454,176 souls.
The births in the year 1831, were, males, 42,760 ;
females, 40,310.—T0ta1, 83,070.
The deaths in the same period, males, 38,210 ; females,
31 667.—T0ta1, 72,877. Excess of births, 10,193, which
is an increase of nearly one-half less tha❑ in 1830.
FILOINt TIIE SCH ELDT, JAN. 7.—The Euridicc,Comct,
Medusa, and Proserpine, were brought to Flushing on
the sth, by the Curacao, llercules, Buren Van Am-
sterdam, steam-boats. It seems that these vessels are
going into dock on account of the frost. The Curacao
is going up the river to-day to strengthen the force on the
Upper Scheldt, and will be followed by several other
steam-boats, which will remain there till the ice, that
makes it impossible even for these vessels to navigate
the river, is dissolved. _

BREDA, JAN. B.—We bear that the Polders, which
have been inundated, are to be freed, at least a part of
them, from the water, but so that the inundation may, if
necessary, be soon restored to the same elevation as at

present.
JAN. 101—The Belgians have scarcely retired to the

frontiers, when they again violate our territory. The gar.
rison of West Wesel has even gone so far as to place a
garrison of eight or ten men, during the night, at the toll-
house of Groot Zandest. For these two days past, there
has been a passenger from the Sardinian Legation at
Paris, at our out-posts at Groot Zandest, waiting for leave
to pats the frontiers, which have been very strictly guarded
for some days.

A❑ account from Bergen-op- Z ,om says, that the Bel-
gian troops on that part of the frontiers, are about 5,000
men, and that they do not respect our boundary, but con-
tinually pass it i❑ their daily patrols.
