MULL IJIIITZD.
At one o'clock the President of the First Chamber hav-
ing read a Royal message, directing the Minister of the
Interior to close the session, a Committee was appointed
to receive his Excellency, who, having been introduced
with the accustomed formalities, took his seat at a table
before the throne, and spoke as folltiws:—
" Noble and MightyLords—During the present session,
which I am commanded to close, our commerce and na-
vigation have been attacked ; superior forces have attacked
the citadel of Antwerp, but our soldiers and seamen have
heroically maintained the glory of Holland, and sealed their
fidelity with the blood of a great number of bras. men.
" Your co-operation has aided the Government calmly
to weather their new storms. A loan ordered by the law
has been realized by the patriotism of the nation. Our
own resources have again sufficed to insure the defence of
our territory, our" honour, and our independence. The
law on the landsturm (or levy ex >Nam) would, in ease of
need, have tendered this defence still more formidable.
" Public credit has been confirmed ; the laws on the
budget and other financial laws have contributed to conso-
lidate it.

" In the midst of these labours, and notwithstanding
the critical situation in which our country was placed, the
Legislature has not lost sight of the importance of possess-
ing s code of national laws. This great work has been
prosecuted with zeal, but, at the same time, with the
necessary prudence and advances to its completi.m.
" The treaty communicated to your Highnesses has put
an end to the acts of violence exercised towards the coun-
try. It brings home our 'flips with their cargoes, and
has restored to the country and the King the brave defen-
ders of the citadel of Antwerp.
" In this manner there are again 'hopes of a final ar-
rangement of the Belgian question, which has been so long
a subject of uneasiness to the Netherlands and to a great
part of Europe.

" The King desires that tl.is final arrangement may take
place as soon as possible; and while all credits will he
made to attain this object compatibly with the honour and
interest of Holland, the new credits granted for the ex-
traordinary expenses of the war and naval departments
during the nest four months will be used with all practi-
cable economy. I am instructed to report to you this
assurance. I declare, in the name of the King, the pre-
sent ordinary session of the States. General to be closed."

His Excellency then withdrew, accompanied by the
Commission, and the Assembly broke up.
We have a set of Java papers from the 25th of Do-
cemher, 1832, to the 19th of January, 1833.
In one of them we find that there had been an eruption
from the burning mountain of Merapie, at midnight,
Dec. 25, and that it bad thrown up an immense quantity
of ashes and stoney, by which the village of Gemen Su-
brang, on the back of the mountain had been entite:y
burnt and swallowed up ; twenty-five persons lost their
lives, and a number of oxen perished. The eruption was
followed by a shower of ashes, which continued four hours,
so that the whole country for fifteeu poles round was
covered with white dust.

The Haarlem Courant says--" For some time work-
men have been employed in erecting here a cotton manu-
factory, which is intended for the Dutch markets that
trade with Java. Mr. Thomas Wilson, the proprietor,
had formerly a flourishing establishment of this deserip.
tion at Stalle, near Bt ussel., which was destroyed and
burnt by the mob in the Feandalous insurrection of 1830.
We are happy to hear that Mr. Wilson expects to begin
his operations before the end of this year."
