THE HAGUE, JAN. 18.----The Stoats Courant of this
date containing a notice relative to the conversion of
5 per cent. stock into 4 per mat. The amount of
the 5 per cent. stock is six millions of florins, and
may be increased to seven millions. The operations
are to commence on the Ist and 15th of February
this year. The Minister of Finance has given notice
that the total amount of Treasury bonds issued by
virtue of the laws of 27th December, 1840, and 19th
June 1843, which were still in circulation on the Ist
of this month was 2,624,300 florins.
Letters from St. Petersburgh of the Ist of this
month, which were received here yesterday, make no
mention whatever of the indisposition of the Emperor
of Russia, of which a report was spread a few days
ago, and of which we said that nothing was known of
it here.

The accounts ft om all parts of the kingdom state
that the ice is everywhere breaking; in some
parts the rivers are quite clear, and navigation is re-
sumed. It does not appear that any particular acci-
dents have occurred.
BERLIN, JAN. 11.—The provincial assemblies of
the Rhine provinces of Westphalia and Brendenburg
are convoked for the 9th of February.
We hear, from various quarters, of coercive mea-
sures to be employed against Hanover by the Zoll-
verein, unless that kingdom should be induced volun-
tarily to join the Great Customs Union. We have
already spoken of this matter. At present report
goes so far as to affirm that the plan is not only to
impose higher duties on Hanoverian ships in Prussian
ports, but also to impose higher import duties on all
articles coming from Hanover, which will be equiva-
lent to a total prohibition of them. It is asked, in-
deed, whether such coercive measures are justifiable,
so long as Hanover is an independent State, and must
know best how to promote the interest of its people.
To this it is answered, that Hanover should not so
obstinately oppose the general national interest of
Germany, and that it must thank itself for the dis-
agreeable consequences of its obstinacy.
BEituN, JAN. ithin these few days, we ob-
serve the arrival and departure of many cabinet mes-
sengers, with great activity in the offices of the lega-
tion of the great Powers. They are supposed to
have 'a reference to two important questions. It is
affirmed that the Austrian Cabinet has very de-
cidedly recommended the consideration of the ques-
tion of a joint guarantee of the land frontiers of the
Ottoman empire. The second question relates to the
pacification of Spain, and the recognition of the Go-
vernment of Austria, Russia, and Prussia.
CoiiiENTz, JAN. B.—. Bishop Amelde has issued an
ordinance to his clergy, announcing that he has re-
solved to constitute a special holiday in honour of the
holy garments of our Saviour, and of the other valu-
able relics, namely, the nails and the spear; that this
fete shall be celebrated on the Wednesday following
the third Sunday after Easter.

ST. PETERSBUGH, JAN. 9.—We have received posi-
tive information that Dr. Wolff, who has arrived at
Teheran from Kegkhara, will return home by way
of Russia and St. Petersburgh. We hope to s6e him
here very shortly.
WARSAW, JAN. s.—lt is affirmed by some persons
that our city will have the pleasure of seeing our
Sovereign the Emperor in the month of May next.
The population of Poland in 1843 was 4,700,374
souls. Since 1829 it has increased by 566,740 souls,
and since 1842 by 97,002. There are 4,175,598
Christians, 295 Musselmen, and 524,481 Jews. The
latter were, in 1829, 583,102 souls.
HANovEn, JAN. 11.—The King set out to-day for
the Gohrde. The three Princes Selm went to Bruns-
wich yesterday, perhaps to go with the Duke to join
the King at the Gohrde.
Our Court will shortly be graced by the presence
of a relative, the Princess Louis of Hess (sister of
the Duchess of Cambridge), who is married to Count
Von de Decker, and has hitherto resided at Vuder,
but in consequence of the promotion of her husband
to the rank of Brigader-General, will in future reside
with him here.
