DUTCH PAPERS.

THE HAGUE, OCT. 29. The first Chamber of the
States-General having declared that it agreed to the address
in answer to his Majesty's speech sent up from the second
Chamber, a deputation of the two Chambers, with Baron
Roell, President of the first Chamber, at its head, presented
to the King to-day the address in question. It is of the
following tenor
" Sire—The representatives of the Dutch nation on the
resumption of their labours respectfully present themselves
before your Majesty to renew the assurance of their
devotedness.

" It is with divers sentiments that we have received your
Majesty's communications respecting our relations with

foreign powers. While we rejoiced at what is satisfactory
in those relations, and in the testimonies of sincere friend-

ship which some powers manifest towards your Majesty,
we reasonably expected to learn that in consequence of
these friendly sentiments our interests and our rights would
have approached towards a final arrangement, and our hopes
are sensibly disappointed by the obstacles which continually
arise in the negotiations on this subject. For this reason
the States-General respectfully desire to obtain from your
Majesty some diplomatic communications. Confiding in
the justice of our cause, in the protection of Providence,
and in the wisdom of your Majesty, we hope that the ob-
stacles will be removed.

" Meantime we approve of all the measures which may
alleviate the burdens arising from so extraordinary a state

of things.

" We consider under this view the furlough granted to
the schuttery and to the volunteers of the marine. All the
reductions in the expense of our armed force• which result
from this measure without endangering the safety of the
country, and from which a diminution of the contributions
paid by the people might ensue, are ardently desired by us,
and will be accepted with gratitude. If your Majesty has
caused those to return to their homes and to their ordinary
occupations, who performed with so much zeal their duty
in the schuttery, granting them a useful interval of repose,
we are convinced that they are still animated with the love
of order and discipline, with the same courage and love of
their country and their King, of which they have given such
striking proofs, and that, if necessity requires it, they will
at all times defend with the same enthusiasm the national
security and independence.
" We look with lively pleasure on 'the satisfactory state
of our internal affairs, on the regular course of the general
administrations, laudably seconded by the administrations of
the pioneers, and on the good produced by the care taken
of public instruction, and the persevering desire to cultivate
the arts and sciences.

" We acknowledge with gratitude, the precautions taken
against the apprehended consequences of the damage which
was sustained last year by our dikes, and we hope that the
late violent storms, which have done much damage, will not
be the forerunners of greater disasters at the approach of a
season which is always dangerous to our country.
" On the other hand, we have encouraging prospects in

the favourable state of several of our internal resources, in
the progress of ancient and new branches of manufactures,
the continuance of our fisheries, and the development of
commerce and navigation, which are the mainspring of our
national existence.

" We greatly regret that agriculture, an equally important
element of our welfare, experiences with onerous contribu-

tions the pernicious influence of the low price of its produc-
tions, and, consequently, falls into a state of languor. It
was, therefore, agreeable to us to learn that the necessary
relief of the farmer and the landowner is the object of your
Majesty's solicitude. We hope that the remedies to be
applied will be such as not to prejudice other interests, and
that they will be carried into effect as speedily as possible.
‘‘ We also rejoice at the assurance given us by your Ma-
jesty that order and tranquillity prevail in almost all our
Colonies, and at the satisfactory result of the measures
adopted in the East Indies, and the increase of their pro-
duce which renders it possible for them to discharge their
pecuniary obligations to Holland, and which give life to
its navigation and commerce. The continuance and conso-
lidation of order, tranquillity, and content among the nu-
merous population of our East Indian Colonies and their
prosperity are among our most ardent wishes.
We have received with satisfaction the information
that the revenues of the kingdom have in general come up
to the estimates ; and that while all is done that is neces-

sary to maintain public credit as becomes the'good faith of
Holland, and with some alleviation of the public burdens,
the Budget of the public expenditure for the next year is
made to correspond with the revenue.
"It is the earnest wish of the States-General that the
same result may be obtained in succeeding years, with a
reduction of the expenditure.
" The projects of law relative to the finances, which
have already been laid before tis by your Majesty's direction,
will be the objects of our most careful examination.

" We shall be equally zealous in duly examining all that
belongs to our national legislation, in order to co-operate
with your Majesty in hastening the arrival of the happy and
much-wished-for.moment of the completion of this import-
ant work, which is destined to establish on solid basis the
judicial institutions of Holland.
" We also look forward with much interest to the pro-
jects of law relative to the organization of the judicial.
power and the administration of justice ; and we flatter
ourselves that your Majesty's hope will be realized.
" Proceeding with calmness in their course, the States-
General will continue as far as lies in their power to co-,
operate as the Representatives of a people, distinguished
attachment to their Princes and to their country and to
their fundamental institutions, in regulating tho interests of
the nation conformably to its wants and to :is character, to
ameliorate and complete its social ine;_tutions, and to con-.
solidate its true liberty."
SECOND CHAMBER OF THE STATES.
GENERAL..

THE HAG*:i, OCT. 30.—The Committee appointed to
present the Address to the King made its report to the,
Chamber, stating that his Majesty's answer was in substance
as follows :
" That his Majesty received with pleasure the Address
of the States-General as a new proof of union and concord.
" That the experience of these latter years afforded a
conviction that his Majesty has not receded from the ex-
pression of a wish to that effect to give their High Mighti-
nesses proofs of confidence.
" That he would continue to act in the same manner
whenever the interest and the safety of the State should,
permit him to make diplomatic communications. That his
Majesty deplored with their High Mightiness the great da-
mage done by the late storms, and that he hoped also, in
greater dangers,"
