DUTCH PAPERS.

THE HAGUE, NOV. I.—Her Majesty the Q i(en
set out yesterday morning for Berlin. A short time
before her Highness departed, the Prince of Orange
arrived here. His Royal Highness attended a Cr-
binet Council this morning, and will return in the
evening to the army.
It is affirmed that the Government has received
further communications from the Conference, re-
quiring, it is said, very urgently, that an answer
from our Government shall be returned within a
short time. It is affirmed that these communica-
tions contain a demand that the citadel of Antwerp
shall be evacuated by the 12th of November, with
the intimation that if this is not done, England and
France will begin on the 15th to use coercive mea-
sure:. This agrees in many points with an article
in the 21rourelliste.
A letter from Dordrecht, of the 31st of October,
says:—

" In consequence of the advice given on Monday
by the English Consuls, to the ships of their nation
to leave the Dutch poets, we hear that they have
;ill left both Rotterdam and this port. We hear
that the French Consul at Rotterdam, yesterday,
advised the ships, under French colours, to with-
draw."

The English steamboat the Lightning, Captain
Allan, which arrived at Helvoetsluys on Monday, k
'aid to have brought a communication to our Co,
vernment, which it was required to decide upon in
forty-eight hours.

BOIS LE Due, OCT. 31.—Nothing is yet certain
respecting the return to headquarters of the Prince
of Orange to this place. Some think it will he
about the 10th November at the soonest, but it de-
pends on events. The army is daily reinforced by
detachments of militia of this year's levy.
THE HAGUE, OCT. 31.—1 t is aili med that the
Government has resolved not to reply to the ma-
nifesto sent by France and England, and that Baron
Van Zuylen Van Nyeveldt is expected from Lun-
d on.—Rotterdanz Courant.

Other accounts say that the Government has re-
solved to acknowledge the receipt of the summons,
And do not speak of the expected return of Baron
Van Zuylen Van Nyeveldt.
LIE HAGUE, Nov. I.—The First Chamber of

the States-General met to-(fay, and we hear adopted
unanimously the project of law for placing ten mil-
!ions at the disposal of the Government.
To-day there was a Cabinet Council, which sat a
long time, and in the department of foreign affairs
there is great activity. We learn that our G)vert.-
ment has been summoned by the Conference to
evacuate by the 2:1 instant the territory assigned to
Belgium by the 15th of November, threatening, in
case of refusal, the blockade of our ports. We
learn from good authority that some Po.vers,includ-
ing Prussia, will not consent to further hostilities
against this kingdom, and will by no means allow
the entrance of French troops into Belgium. Baron
Van Zuylen Van Nyeveldt, our Ambassador in
London, who is recalled, is expected here in a few
lays.

SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCE.--A horse
and chaise was sold in Cbelm•ford market on Friday,
under very singular circumstances. In July, when the
cholera prevailed so alarmintly in London, a young gen-
tleman and lady were in the habit of driving to and from
the metropolis to Southend, with the horse and chaise.
They usually called at the public-house in Wickford, and
were both heard to express great fear of taking the pre-
vailing disease. In consequence of the death of some
rdatives of the female by the complaint, it became requi-
site for them to go to town, which they did, leaving the
horse and chaise at Wickford. The horse and chaise
have remained there ever since, and after advertisements in
the public papers, were sold to pay the expenses of keep.
Nothing further has ever been beard of the parties; but an
advertisement shortly afterwards appeared in a London
paper, stating that a lady and gentlem In had come one
afternoon to an inn in Aldgate ; that the 1 idy was that
afternoon seized with cholera, and almost immediately
,fterwards the gentleman was likewise attack,d ; that
they were both carried off, and buried the next day ; but
that no clue to their friends or connexions could be dia.
covered.—Essex Independent.

MELANCHOLY DEATH OF MR. AND MRS.
PArresoN.—lt may be recollected, that about a month
since we announced the death of Mr. PATTESON, the bar-
rister, late of the Home Circuit, and his lady, both of whom
were unfortunately drowned in the Lake Couteret, in the
Pyrenees, while viewing the beauties of the surrounding
scenery in an open boat, which they had hired for the
purpose. It appeared that the boatman, who was in the
habit of rowing strangers across the lake, had died four
days previous to the arrival of Mr. and Mrs. PArrEson,
whose anxiety to view the scenery induced them to enter
the boat alone, and row to the centre of the lake,
from which situation the view of the surrounding Py-
renees presents the most imposing effect. Mr. PATTI..
son was observed from the shore to rise suddenly from
his seat, as if struck with the splendour of the scene, and
Mrs. PATTESON at the same moment arose also. The con-
sequence was, that the little boat was immediately upset,
and both were drowned, it being impossible, it was said,
to afford them any assistance, owing to the icy coldness of
the water, which was supplied by the snow from the sur-
rounding heights. The body of Mrs. Parresosr was
found soon after the accident, but every attempt to recover
that of her unfortunate husband proved ineffectual until
about three weeks after the melancholy event, when the
body was discovered floating on the surface of the lake,
swollen to nearly twice its original size. About a fin t-
night ago a solicitor residing in Gray's-inn, who had been
deputed by the friends of the deceased to endeavour to re-
cover the body of Mr. PATTESON, arrived at the scene of
the disaster, and finding that the melancholy object of his
journey had been accomplished, he caused both bodies to
be embalmed and forwarded to Bourde tux, where they ar-
rived in the course of last wetk, and from whence they
will be conveyed to Witham, in Essex, for interment, at
which place the father of Mr. PATTESOW resides. rite
unfortunate couple who thus met with a premature death
bad been married only six weeks. Mr. PATTESON re-
ceived with his bride, whose maiden name was THOMAS,
fortune of 25,0001., and a similar sum was settled
on her husband by his father. Mrs. PATrasor; is
said to have been a most amiable young lady, and her hus-
band was universally esteemed and .espected on tie lloirie
Circuit, and indeed by all who bad the pleasure of his ac-
quaintance.
IMPROVEMENT IN ATHENS.-CLEANTHES,
a native-born Greek, from the foot of Mount Oiympue,
after studying architecture for several years at Berlin, has
returned to his native soil, in company with a young
German architect, and taken up his abode at Athens,
where both of them have found ainp!e employment in
erecting dwellings and mansions for our enterprising fellow-
countrymen who have transferred their homes to this
classic region. The young architects have built a hand-
some house in the European style, for their own accom-
modation, on the summit of the Acropolis, which cont.
tnands a del.ghtful prospect of the ruins of ancient Athens
and its attractive environs. On ibis spot they are busy
collecting the perishing fragments of ancient sculpture,
and are gradually rescuing ti.e columns, fr,tzes, and tner
remains, which are found inlaid in buildings of later con-
struction, from their pre.ent hazardous and ignominious
sites. They have already soccer. ed, without it.jury to
the buildings themselves, in recovering a consider uum-
tier of these relics, which belong to the remotest pe sods
~f Grecian art.—Athenceum.

Onions are said to be unusually plentiful and
cheap. A punning Frenchmen, ktiowing their universal
demand for cookery in his own country, and their lachry-
mose qualities in tbi., calls them ti.e Tiers Etat.

A cockatoo died on the 21st ultimo, at the
Right Honourable Lord Vitittiott's, Sudbury hail. This
oild was brought to Suiflinty in the year 1762, and was
consequently seventy years old when it died.-Nutting.
