DUTCH PAPERS.

HAGUE, DEC. 30.—The First Chamber has
agreed to the Budget of 1833.
An English merchantman (not a frigate, as was
supposed) has run aground near the Vlie.
His Excellency the Minister of Finance continues
to receive various donations from the country for the
wounded, also the widows and orphans of the brave
defenders of the Citadel of Antwerp.
The Committee formed at Amsterdam for assist-

ing and rewarding our brave soldiers or the relations
they may have left behind them, have already col-
lected 14,000 florins.
THE HAGUE, JAN. I.—The First Chamber of the

States-General has assented to the law for regula-
ting the land tax of 1833, and that relative to the
national militia.

The Grand Drawing Room at Court, usually
held on New Year's Day, has not taken place to-
day.
HAARLEM, DEC. 29.—1 t is not the great Dutch
flag of the citadel nor the Admiral's flag of the
,quadron, that has been sent as a trophy to Paris ;
but the standard of the 10th division of infantry.
All the other flags were burnt by our troops. Now,
that there are no Dutch gun boats before Antwerp,
the Belgian navy shows itself. The two gun boats
of that navy, with the two brigantines, arrived be-
fore the city on the 26th and 27th. It seems that
they are to drop down the Scheldt to fort St. Philip.
A detatchment of Belgian miners was employed on
the 28th, in completing the defences of that fort.
On the 28th a company of French sailors was en
gaged at the Tete de Flandre, in collecting the
remains of the Dutch gun boats that were sunk.
The Staates Courant contains a list of promotions
in the army. It also gives a list of the officers and
privates of the garrisons of Lillo and Liefkenshoek
killed, wounded, or missing, on the 21st and 23d of
December. They are stated at five killed, four
missing, and sixteen wounded. On board the Eu-
rydice there were thirteen slightly and two severely
wounded.

—Dutch Papers, Jan. 2.

The statements which have been made in
some of the weekly papers, relative to his MAJESTY'S want
of liberality to Earl AIUNSTER, have excited much att,n-
tion and deep regret amongst those who know his MA-
JESTY'S kindness of heart and his generosity towards his
family. Perhaps the short contradiction of those state-
ments, which we made a few days ago, may have been
deemed satisfactory; but, considering whose character is
assailed, we have thought it right to make some further
inquiries on the subject, and we are sure that in stating
the result we are only discharging a duty to the Sovereign.
Speaking within the mark, we will say, that instead of
3001. which the KING is said to have given to Lord MUN-
STER since his accession to the throne, the amount of his
benefactions (including an excellent house, furniture, &c.)
has been, little if any short of 30,0001. To the KING'S
other sons his MAJESTY has been, if not equally mu-
nificent, as generous as the circumstances would permit.
Lord FREDERICK FITZC LA RENCE receives an allow-
ance from the KING of SOU or 1,000/ a-year, be-
sides a gift of an excellent house. Lord Anotsmus
has the same allowance, and has had many thou-
sand pounds given him at various periods as pre-
sents. And Lord AUGUSTUS has a similar allowance.
Besides which, all have been placed in or advanced to dis-
tinguished rank in their several professions, through the
influence and the unremitting exertions on their behalf of
their Royal parent. Nor have the KING'S daughters any
reason, and we are sure none of them have the disposition,
to complain of his Majesty's conduct towards them. They
have all a handsome annual allowance ; i❑ addition to
which Lady SIDNEY has received the most generous as-
sistance in the repair of the magnificent seat of the SID-
NEYS at Penshuist. Lady MARY Fox has been presented
with an excellent house in the vicinity of London. Lady
ERROL, whose Lord is Master of the Horse to the QUEEN,
has apartments in St. James's, and a beautiful house in
Richmond Park. Lady AUGUSTA ERSKINE, has, in ad-
dition to a settlement, we know not exactly of what kind,
received assistance (we believe), in the purchase of a beau-
tiful villa. And Lady FALKLAND, in addition to the same
allowance as all her sisters, bad, we hear, 10,000/. settled
on her at her m irriage. When the large demands that are
constantly made on the KING'S liberality from all sides,
his daily acts of beneficence exclusively from the Privy
Purse, and the state which is deemed fitting for a King,
and whirls the nation expects that he should maintain,
are considered ; as also the fact, that as King he has not
the power which many rich noblemen possess of making
settlements for their children, we feel convinced that every
person who is acquainted with the facts we have men-
tioned, must agree in opinion, that his MAJESTY has acted
and still acts the part of a liberal, affectionate, and gene-
rous parent. There cannot be one of his children, or their
connections, or his own, or indeed any persons who have
had the opportunity of witnessing the KING'S affectionate
disposition, who would not join in reprobating the unjust
and malicious attempts which have been made, by anony-
mous writers, in some of the public journals, to create an
impression unfavourable to one of the most kindhearted
and generous of men. And, doubtless, his children ge-
nerally feel that affection for him which those must na-
turally feel to whom he has ever manifested the kindest
and most affectionate disposition.—Globe.

ZOHRAB, THE HOSTAGE; BY THE Au-
TIIOR OF " HAJJI 8A8A.".—." This is the best novel that
has appeared for several years past; its story richer in
materials and more artful in construction, and its style
simple, manly, English—the language of a mature ob-
server of men and manners, as well as a scholar, and a
rife one.' The materials of this story are all indigenous
to Iran. It is an attem;,!, and a successful one, to trans•

plant the most peculiur of European forms of composition
into another soil ; and by at. meant. to prenDene a lailer
picture of the an rkings of a system of social and domestic
relations, at almost every point unlike our own, than we
could eve: hope to obtain from the study of any native
works that have as yet been analyzed or described to Eu-
ropeass."— Quarterly Review for December.

THE POISON OF LOVE.--Amongst the nu-
merous traps which were laid to Catch MEHEMET ALI,
the most curious was in the person of a young Circassian
sent by the SULTAN as a present to his trustworthy cousin
and Pacha. Before leaving the seraglio she was given a
charmed lozenge, which she was told would have the effect
of attaching her new master to her for life, provided she
let it drop unseen into a glass of sherbet that he was about
to drink. She arrived safe at Cairo ; but MEHEMET ALI,
whose heart, in addition to age and satiety, was iced by
distrust, would not look on her ; he gave her to one of his
officers. To be thus disparaged was a cruel stroke for a
beauty just from the imperial seraglio; but, nevertheless,
submitting with a good grace to the decree of fate, she
resolved to try whether her charm would not have the
same effect on a Bey's heart as on a Pacha's. She dissolved
her lov.• philtre; the Bey drank it off, was seized with
death pains, and shortly after expired.

UNTIMELY DEATII.—On Wednesday, an
inquest was held at No. 14, Bloomsbury-square, on the
body of W. CULLEN, E,q. The deceased had been en-
gaged in the West India trade, and had recently retired
upon a fortune. He lodged with Mr. JOY, of the above
place, and on Sunday night he returned home at 10
o'clock, after dining at Hammersmith. He appeared ill,
and shortly after retiring to rest,his bell rang violently ; Mrs.
JOY, on going up, found him very sick and ill, but he de-
clined to have any medical as.lstance. About 12 o'clock
she went up again, and earnestly begged him to allow her to
send for Dr. ARNOTT, of Bedford square ; but he abruptly
told her to leave the apartment, and not trouble him. In ten
minutes atter he was found a corpse. It appeared that he
had run a considerable distance to overtake a Hammer.
smith stage, and Dr. ARNOTT stated that the deceased had
laboured under a disease of the chest, and that his death
was caused by a rupture of one of the vessels of the heart,
no doubt brought on by the violent exertion of running.
