DUTCH PAPERS.

THE HAGUE, APRIL 13.—The Second Chamber of
the States General has received the answer of the Govern-
ment to the observations on the three provincial laws. We
hear that in compliance with those observations, besides
other changes, the first project of law will be divided into
two, so that the redemption of the 6 per Cents., and the
providing for the usual expenditure, are now comprehended
in two separate projects, and the permanent laws that are
to be discussed are fewer in number.

THE HAGUE, APRIL VS.—Their Majesties the King
and Queen, who left this town yesterday at one o'clock,
for Amsterdam, arrived in that city at half-past five.
To-day the King gave audiences, and this evening
their Majesties will honour the theatre with their
presence. Prince and Princess Frederick also set
out for Amsterdam yesterday afternoon at four o'clock,
and the Prince and Princess of Orange, with their eldest
son, at ten o'clock this morning.
AMSTERDAM, APRIL 12.—Mr. Jerningham, English
Charge d'Affaires at the Court of the Netherlands, and
Mr. Petre, Member of Parliament, have arrived at Am-
sterdam. . _

AMSTERDAM, APRIL 15.—The audience given by his
Majesty this morning was, if possible, more numerous and
brilliant than ever.
His Majesty's ship. of the line the Zeeuw, Captain Ryk,
will, it is said, sail in the. middle of May to St. Peters-
burgh, with his Royal Highness Prince William Frederick
Henry, the third son of the Prince of Orange, on board.
THE HAGUE, APRIL 12.—( From the Handelsblad. )
We have received a copy of the infamous Appel aux
ratriales which led to the shameful scenes of plunder in
Brussels, If we were not disposed to approve, in some re-
spects, the views of the Belgian Orangeists in their exag-
gerated way of speaking, we cannot refrain from expressing
our indignation at the absurd language and abusive tone
against Holland and its sovereign house.
In harmony with this are letters from Rotterdam, which
are inserted in the Times, and the special object of which is
to give the most false and absurd particulars respecting the
family of our Crown Prince.
It would be the best to treat these assertions with silent
contempt, but that foreigners might be at last induced
to take the most palpable lies for truth. We can assure
the Times, that all that is contained in the last letter of
its correspondent is mere fiction. Probably it will not
mention this contradiction in its very impartial columns ;
but some foreign journals will not fail to notice it.

The following official letter has been received
in the city :
" Office of Committee of Privy Council for Trade,
Whitehall, April 14.
" Siii,—A representation received from his Majesty's
Charge d'Affaires at Mexico has recently beep laid before
the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade,
by which it appears that very serious inconvenience had
occurred in consequence of some shippers of goods from
this country having neglected to conform to the regulations
prescribed by the Mexican law of the 31st of March, 1831,
whereby, amongst other things, it is required that the mo-
ment a vessel comes to anchor a general manifest of her
cargo, and detailed invoices in triplicate of each consign-
ment, shall be delivered to the custom-house authorities ;
I am therefore directed by their lordships to communicate

IMPERIAL PARLIAMEX
HOUSE OF LORDS, April 17.

Mr. PHILLFOTTS and others from the Commons brought
up the Brunswick and Nova Scotia Lands Company's
Bill, and two private bills, which were read a first time.
The Earl of HAREWOOD presented several petitions
from parishes and places in the West Riding of York-
shire, against any alteration in the corn laws, and for the
better protection of the Sabbath Day.
The Bishops of LICHFIELD and COVENTRY and EXETER
presented petitions to the same effect.
The Marquis of SALISBURY presented a petition from
a place in Hertfordshire, complaining of the power possessed
by magistrates in the administration of the poor laws. He
would take that opportunity of asking the noble viscount
opposite (Melbourne) whether it was the intention of the
government to make any communication to that house re-
lative to their 'plan of settling the question of these laws.
Viscount MELBOURNE said it was well known that
his noble friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer intended
on that evening to lay those plans before the other House
of Parliament. It was also well known that the bill was of
such a nature that it must originate in that house ; therefore,
though he was most anxious to be as courteous to the house
as possible, he did not see that it would do any public
good to lay the same statement before their lordships.
The Marquis of SALISBURY would only remind the
government that they had now arrived at a late period of
the session, and that last year many most important things
were put off on that account. He trusted that they would
be told how far government intended to adhere to the re-
commendations of the poor law commissioners.
The noble lord received no answer.
Lord KENYON laid on the table a bill to prevent
beer from being drank in the house in beer shops in
the country. (Cries of " Hear, hear.") He had
made inquiries since he gave notice of the bill, and he
found that the noble and learned lord on the woolsack was
quite right in saying that they did not do so much harm in
towns, and he had therefore omitted them in his bill.
The Bishop of EXETER presented a petition from a
place in Dorsetshire, praying for protection to the esta-
blished church.

BURNING LANDS (IRELAND) BILL.
The Marquis of WESTMEATH, on moving the second
reading of the Burning Lands (Ireland) Prevention Bill,
went at some length into the object of the measurd. and the
evils that had resulted from it, referring to the evidence
of Messrs. Lindsay and Clendenny. The noble marquis,
in conclusion, stated that the present measure was different
to the one he introduced last session, inasmuch as by it the
penalty for the offence was not to be taken by distress.
(Hear, hear, hear.) If the house was not pre-
pared to consent to the second reading of the bill at
present, he should be most willing to consent to the ap-
pointment of a committee to inquire into the question.
The LORD CHANCELLOR, although he considered
the question introduced by the noble marquis of importance,
could not but think if the law had not already taken cognizance
of the matter, that it was a subject in which the legisla-
ture would do well not to interfere. The manner in which
a man should manage his own estate in his (the Lord
Chancellor's) opinion had farbetter be left to the discretion
of those who had the dearest interests in the land at heart,
than in the hands of the legislature. As, however, the legis-
lature of Ireland had interfered, it was too late to say it was
a subject that ought not so to be taken cognizance of.
The object of the present measure, however, was to
carry the interference of the Irish legislature much
further, and to remove those checks on judicial in-
terference that at present existed. He (the Lord Chan-
cellor) was not prepared to say that the passing of such a
bill was the most judicious course that could be taken, and
he should therefore suggest to the house and the noble
marquis that the bill should be referred to a committee.
The Marquis of WESTMEATH said he should cer-
tainly bow to the noble and learned lord's opinion if he
thought that a committee ought to be appointed; but, for
his part, he did not think it was necessary.
he bill was then read a second time. _ _

The Duke of RICHMOND suggested that the noble
marquis had better move for the appointment of a select
committtee on a future day, which was consented to,

EXCHEQUER-OFFICE BILL.

Earl GREY gave notice of his intention to move on Mon-
day next the second reading of the bill for the regulation
of the offices of the Exchequer.
The house then adjourned till half-past three to-morrow.
