DUTCH MAIL.

THE HAGUE, JAN. I.—lt is reported that the Mi-
nister of the Interior is to be employed in another
post, and will be succeeded by Mr. Van der Heim
now Governor of South Holland, and that he will
have for his successor Mr. Van der Poll, now Go-
vernor of Utrecht.

We are informed that Mr. Kruseman, lately
Director-General of the Finances in Dutch India,
of whose return reports have frequently been spread,
arrived here to. day, by way of British India, Egypt,
and France.

FLUSHING, JAN. 20.—We learn that his Majesty's
frigate the Ceres, Captain Ensie, will shortly leave
the dock, to proceed, on the first favourable occasion,
to Java.
AMSTERDAM, JAN. 23.—Extract of a letter from
Batavia, dated Oct 4, 1844.

" On my voyage out, being off the island of St.
Paul, I went on shore in a boat to make observations.
" We heard at St. Paul that that island, and the
island of Amsterdam, were taken possession of on the
23d of July, 1843, in the name and at the instance of
Adam Mixowstawsky, a Polish exile, who now excer-
cises his authority on both islands.
" The establishment consists of fifty-six persons,
among whom are six soldier s, and twenty negroes
and negresses, who have the care of domestic affairs;
the men are employed in the whale fishery ; the oil
is boiled in the island, and four vessels (schooners and
brigs) are constantly employed in conveying it to
Bourbon."

A letter from Batavia of the 20th September says—
" His Majesty's brig Postillion, Captain Gambier,
being on her passage from Macassar to Boelon, met
with three large and three small pirate vessels, which
it pursued; they were full of men, the largest having
at least thirty, and the smallest twenty. After being
fired upon for a long time by the guards of his
Majesty's brig, they at length escaped by favour of a
calm; they however suffered from one fire, as was
evident from the confusion on board, their irregular
moving, and throwing several times dead bodies into
the sea. This was afterwards confirmed by the Sultan
of Boelon, who sent a report stating that the pirates
had abandoned one of their largest vessels in a sinking
state, which was afterwards got up by the inhabitants
of Boelon.

In the Regency of Reang, part of a mountain
had fallen, and destroyed two villages, and a con-
siderable number of the inhabitants. About the
same time there were great inundations in other parts,
which had done much injury to the coffee plantations.
The HAGUE, JAN. 23.—His Excellency M. Hoc-
husson has returned to Brussels.

The Journal de la Haye declares that the repor
which had been current for some days of a change ii
the Ministry, is entirely without foundation.

POST MAP OF EUROPE.—Mr. Wyld, of the Strand,
to whom all travellers owe a debt of gratitude for the
accuracy with which routes are laid down in his nu-
merous publications, has just sent forth a post map of
Central Europe on a large scale, beautifully engraved,
and got up with such care, that reliance can be put upon
it. and distances and bearings calculated with ease and
with safety. The posts, roads, railways, packet routes,
&c.. are all distinctly marked and laid down, and though
the number of lines and the number of names are almost
incalculable, they are so well defined and so clearly set
out, that all confusion is avoided. The inquirer, with
this map before him, can plainly trace any road be may
have travelled, or which he may design to travel upon.
He can compare relative distances, and form a just no-
tion of what is the best route for his progress. The
names of the places of importance stand out in bold re
lief from amongst others of less consequence, and thus at
a glance the positions of the great cities and towns of
Europe are commanded by the eye. The meridian lines
are.not introduced, and the map is, therefore, free from
unnecessary breaks in the' surface ; the degrees are,
however, marked on the sides, se that the longitudinal
and latitudinal bearings may easily be calculated, if it be
necessary.— Times.
FOREIGN PICICLES.—The Lords of the Committee of
the Privy Council for Trade having had under considera.
tion several representations addressed to them and to the
Lords of the Treasury from the importers of vegetables
for the purpose of pickling them for home consumption,
requesting a continuance of the duty of 51. per cent. ad
valorem on raw vegetables not otherwise enumerated,
preserved in salt and water, or slightly salted for the
purpose of being pickled in this country, their Lordships
have authorised the Commissioners of the Customs to
make a reduction of duty on pickles preserved in vinegar,
corresponding with that made last session on the im-
portation of the article of vinegar itself, viz., from Is. 6d.
to 4d. per gallon, and to levy upon vegetables preserved
in salt the duty charged on cucumbers so preserved, viz ,
10 per cent. ad valorem. These applications have been
made to the Treasury and Board of Trade in con-
sequence of an 'order issued by the Customs authorities
some time since, that cauliflowers in salt and water were
to be charged with duty as " pickles," 6d. per gallon, and
all vegetables 89 imported to be charged accordingly,
unless otherwise rated, such as citron, cucumbers, &c.,
the new tariff being so construed in their regard in op-
position to the practice previously observed with respect
to the articles in question.
Mr. Tawell, now in custody:for the supposed murder
at Salt-hill. is the founder of the schools for the general
education of the poor, situate in Chapel-place, Great
Suffolk-street, Borough.
