FLANDERS MAIL.

BRUSSELS, OCT. 27.—The Ring presided to-day
in the Ccuncil of Ministers, and attended Divine
service in the chapel of the Palace.

His Majesty will receive to-morrow the deputation
of the Chamber of Representatives with the address.

Messrs. Delfosse and Woest, bankers of Brussels,
some days ago sent a sum of 35,000 francs to Calais
and Boulogne, by a diligence belonging to Van Gend
and Co. It was given in charge to a conductor who
has been in the 'service of Van Gend and Co. for
twenty years. On reaching Calais he disappeared
with the money, and went on board a vessel just on
the point of sailing for England. Van Gend and Co.
being. informed of this circumstance immediately re-
paid the sum to Delfosse and Co., and have sent two
of their principal clerki to London in quest of the
dishonest conductor.

DUTCH MAIL.
DUTCH FINANCE-THE CONVERSION.

It appears from the communication made by the
Minister of Finance on the 26th of this month, that
the state of the conversion up to that day was as
follows :
The entire capital of different kinds of na-
tional debt, at five and four-and-a-half
per cent. which has been comprehended
in the measure of conversion or repay- Florins.
ment, was
The amount of the capital converted is

There remains to be converted 151,837,000
Deducting from this sum the capital which
the Government has at its disposal, and
which will be probably employed in the
conversion

51,000,000
It is easy tQsee, that by converting or exchanging,
the end that was proposed: will be attained.
Thus forty millions of money and seven months time
have sufficed to convert a capital of nearly 250,000,000,
and we may hope that the entire conversion wiil be
soon effected. The repayment and exchange of the 5
or 4f per cent.,- and the reduction of the interest of
the 250,000,000 already converted, will doubtless
have a salutary effect on the budget of 1844, so that
the deficiency which appeared in that budget will be
much diminished, and perhaps the resources which
the Government has derived from the voluntary loan
will make it disappear entirely.
THE HAGUE, OCT. 26.—1 n the sitting of the Second
Chamber to-day, the Minister of Finance communi-
cated some further particulars relative to the con-
version.

THE HAGUE, OCT. 28.—This morning the sections
of the Second Chamber were engaged in deliberation
on the draft of the address in reply to his Majesty's
speech. The Central Section also met at noon It
appears that there is in the draft of the address a
paragraph respecting the desirable revival of the fun-
damental law, which perhaps was considered by some
members as too weak, by others too strong.
