SECOND CHAMBER OF THE STATES
GENERAL.

THE HAGUE, APRIL 24.—The order of the day was
the debate on the three projects of law relative to the
finances.

The first law proposed, relative to the paying off of
the Bonds bearing interest ac six per cent., was agreed
to by a majority of 48 to 8.
The send project, authorising the government to
dispose of 6,300,000 florins stock, bearing interest at
five per cent., was also adopted by a majority of 48
to 8.

Lastly, the law relative to the Treasury Bonds was
adopted by 32 votes4442jotes.
The Chamber then proceeded to the discussion of
the law providing for the eemplete payment of the in-
terest of the national debt due on the 30th June, 1834.
Several members spoke on the occasion. Those who
alien), opposed the law were Messrs. Luyben and Van
ties. They declared that they could not answer it to
their consciences to pay a debt which, in a certain
point of view, is not ours, and which perhaps will never
be repaid ; and that the distressed situation in which
we continue to be does not allow Holland to continue
,to pay that part of the debt which must in the sequel
fall to the charge of Belgium. Messrs. Doukir and
Luzac, however, with powerful arguments, and in de-
tailed speeches, refuted their arguments, and main-
tained that, in order to preserve the public credit, it
was necessary to proceed in the course hitherto
pursued.

In this discussion the speakers very generally ex-
pressed the wish that the Government would do every-
thing in its power to come to a final arrangement with
Belgium, by which we should likewise be relieved
from our state of uncertainty. The members also
urged the reduction of the army, the disbanding of the
militia of 1826, 1827, and 1828, and especially the
sending of the schuttery to their homes. M. Donker
Curtius said that the late political communications
made by the Government had been seen in a wrong
point of view by some members. He confessed that
they discouraged the hope of a speedy arrangement
with Belgium, but that the blame was not to be laid on
our Government, but on England and France, as ap-
peared from their refusal to negotiate any further till the
assent of the house of Nassau to the cession of part of
Luxemburg had been obtained.
The Minister of Finance defended the law, which
was adopted by 47 to 6 votes.
In the course of the debate, the Minister of Fi-
nance intimated, that after the discussion of the four
financial laws in the First Chamber, the sittings of the
State will be closed, and that they will not meet again
till October.

By a return laid before the House of Com-
mons, on the motion of Mr. Lennard, it appears that
in the course of last year 246 persons were sentenced
to death for robbery, of whom seven only were exe-
cuted.

A correspondent of the Journal de Frank-
fbrt, from Odessa, denies the reports in circulation re-
specting famine in the South of Russia.

The Nuremburg Correspondent of the 19th
instant states that the provincial battalion of Lindau,
on hearing that the Poles meditated an attempt to
break into Germany, probably with a view of advancing
'to Frankfort, simultaneously declared themselves ready
to take up arms to oppose them. The King of Bavaria
has expressed his satisfaction with the battalion for con-
duct so patriotic.

The Manheim Gazette says—" It is pro-
bable that if Berne does not send away the refugees, a
cordon of Sardinian and Austrian troops will be esta-
blished on the Swiss frontiers. This measure may be
the more promptly executed, since Prussia has given
her assent to the separation demanded by the Canton
of Neufchatel. This last circumstance may occasion
an armed intervention, in order to prevent a dismem-
berment, and France may also send a corps of observa-
tion to the frontier. As yet, however, no step has been
taken on either side."

By the Columbia steam-packet, bringing the
Mediterranean mail, advices have been received from
Malta to the 9th, Gibraltar to the 20th, and from
Cadiz to the 21st inst. A shock of an earthquake
was felt at Cadiz on the 17th, and so violent that the
houses were shook to their very foundations, and the
inmates rushed out and congregated in the squares and
open places for safety. No injury, however, appears
to have been sustained. The Edinburgh, 74 guns,
and Jaseur sloop of war, both from England, arrived
off Malta on the Bth. Some reports were current in
the course of the morning of information by this arri-
val of the actual entry of a large body of Spanish
troops into Portugal, but we do not trace them to any
good authority, nor do they seem worthy of much
attention, as the first news of such a movement would
reach England earlier, in all probability, by the way
of Madrid.— Times.

On Friday evening, the Sheriff's of London
and Middlesex proceeded to the shop of Mr. Penny,
the printer and publisher of a weekly unstamped news-
paper, in Chancery-lane, and levied an execution upon
the goods for 8001, being six penalties of 201. each and
costs, forfeited in the Court of Exchequer, for printing
and publishing the said unstamped newspaper. The
informations were filed by Sir William Horne, the ex-
Attorney-General, and the trial took place before Mr.
Baron Vaughan. Mr. Penny had leave for a new
trial, but in consequence of a technical omission on his
part, he did not avail himself of his motion.

at Churton, about five miles from Devizes, which
destroyed seven labourers' cottages, a dwelling house,
three barns, a stable, a cart house, six horses, some
pigs, fowls, and husbandry implements.
The coal mine called La Concession du
Poirier, at Montigny-sur- Sambre, in Belgium, took
fire on the 16th inst. The men at one time thought
they had mastered the fire, but afterwards a sudden
explosion took place, and of 10 men who were employed
at the time in the pit only one escaped with life.
THE LATE RIOTS IN PARIS.—The wounds
received in the riots were not so numerous as severe.
Nineteen cases were taken into the Hotel Dieu, one wo-
man among them, who had received a bayonet wound;
of the rest six were soldiers ; amputation in the shoul-
der joint, in consequence of a grievous gun shot wound
of the upper part of the humerus, was performed in one
case by M. Sanson. Two patients died soon after en-
tering the hospital. It is supposed that the entire
number of the wounded in the affaire of the 14th of
April, did not much exceed one hundred.---Medical
