HAGUE, NOV. IS.

In the sitting of the Second Chamber yesterday, a pe-
tition was presented from the well known French writer,
L. H. Fenton, dated .Ulsusn, in Hanover, complaining of
the treatment he has experienced. The President pro-
posed to refer it to the Committee of petitions. AI. Van
Rienen doubted whether this petition ought to be referred
to the Committee, as the fundamental law gave the right
of petitioning only to inhabitants of the kingdom. M. de
Brouchere announced, that it was for the Committee to
make such observations ; and M. C. Hon said, that even
petitions not signed had been referred to the Commit-
tee. The President then repeated his proposal, which was
adopted.
Two lists have been sent by Government to all the
members of the States-General, of the number of ships that
cleared inwards and outwards in all the ports of the king-
dom in 1828.
he number of vessels that have cleared inwards was
6,453, the burden of which, was 723,439 tons, of which
1,031 containing 68,613 tons, were in ballast.
The number that cleared outwards was 4,628, burden
480,502 tons, of which 2,971, of 315,108 tons, in ballast.
The Rev. Mr. Vandervelde, Bishop of Ghent, arrived
here yesterday. He will very shortly take the oath to
his Majesty.

ANCONA, OCT. 26.

Great exertions are now making in Greece to secure
to Count Capo d'lstria his office of President of the Go-
vernment, and several agents are employed with this view
both in the interior of the country and at the Courts of
the peat Powers. The President knows very well that a
cabal is at work to remove him from Greece, and to give
to another the fruit of the seed which he has cultivated
with so much pains; but he also knows the sentiments of
his countrymen, who would reluctantly obey a stranger.
He therefore does not much fear their intrigues, but ne-
glects nothing to biffie them, and, by a prudent admini-
stration of the Government; to secure to his nation fur-
ther prosperity.
Me seems in fact already to have received assurances
of the continuance of his functions from several great
Courts, which will shortly appoint their representatives
to the Greek Government.

The following communication has been re-
ceived this morning from our Paris correspondent:

" rants, Nov. 14.
" It is stated in private letters from Constantinople,
that at a late sitting of the Divan the Sultan had himself
proposed an immediate convocation of the Pachas, Beg-
lerbeys, Ayans, and other notables of the empire, for the
purpose of examining into the financial condition of the
provinces, in order, no doubt, to provide the means of
satisfying the demands of Russia. To this effect couriers
had been despatched in all directions. Messengers had
also been sent to the Deys of Algiers, Tunis, and Tripoli,
apparently to ask for money. It appears that great exer-
tions are making at Constantinople for the re-establish-
ment of the Turkish navy, on the footing it occupied be-
fore the untoward affair of Navarin. The Porte is said
to have applied to the English Government for naval
officers and master-builders to assiat the Turks in their
efforts, and it is added that the application has been ac-
ceded to, a number of individuals being already on their
way from England to Constantinople.
" In the Courrier de Bayonne I observe an article,
which states, on the authority of letters from Lisbon of
the 28th of October, that it is the general belief in the
Portuguese capital that at this season of the year, and
with the few forces employed against it, the blockade of
Terceira is utterly ineffectual. It is stated as well known,
that vessels of all nations had entered and sailed from
Angra without being searched or molested. On board
the Don John the Sixth, lately arrived at Lisbon, was
the Chief of a Miguelite Guerilla party, which bad made
its appearance at Terceira, but had been dispersed by the
Constitutionalists. The Chief, whose name is Almeida,
succeeded in escaping the pursuit of the police of the island,
and in embarking on hoard of a fishing-smack, in which
he passed to St. Michael's, and came from thence to Por-
tugal. The French sloop of war La Pomone, then in
the Tagus, had just received orders to sail for Rochfort,
where she is to be dismantled.

" A letter from Bologna of the 30th ult. says, that the
severe maasures adopted at Rome against the Carbonari
had been imitated in that city,whcn two of them had lately
been executed, and numerous arrests were daily taking
place en the slightest grounds of suspicion.
" The public prints and private letters from the Spanish
capital are chiefly occupied with the magnificent prepara-
tions for the reception of their future Queen, and the cere-
mony of the Royal marriage. Among the presents in-
tended for her Majesty on the occasion of her nuptials,
there is, I observe, a pianoforte from London. A number
of horses for the al stud are also on their way from
England.
The Aviso de Mediterrannee announces the departure
of the brig L'ilocniure from Toulon for the Levant, with
despatches fur Admiral de Rigny, and a considerable quan-

tity of specie.
" The Procureur du Roi has written, it seems, within
these few days to the British Consul at Boulogne-sur-Mer,
to beg of him to use his influence with the English resi-
dents in that neighbourhood, to induce them to desist from
indulging in sporting excursions on grounds over which
they had not the permission of the proprietor. This
authoritative interference has arisen, it appears, from a
recent complaint of a fresh violation of the right of pro-
perty,-committed at Wacquinghen, near Boulogne, on the
28th ult., by a party of sportsmen, wlo had hunted a
bagged fox without the leave of the whole of the proprietors.
" The new Prefect of the department of the Mouths of
the Rhone, M. de Jacques, in his anxiety to restrain the
efforts of the provincial press within his jurisdiction,
seems himself to have transgressed the letter of the exist-
ing law, which says, that at the moment of publication
the proprietor or responsible editor of a newspaper shall
deposit a copy of it, signed by him, at the office of the
Procureur du Itoi, or, where there is no such tribunal, at
the office of the Mayor of the district. The new Prefect
requires that two copies ;le deposited at the office of the
Prefecture within the ordinary hours of business, which
he states are from ten o'clock till four, which would thus
limit the publication of newspapers to the hours thus spe-
cified, and so create considerable inconvenience. It is pro-
bable, however, that the authorities in Paris will correct

the excessive zeal of their provincial functionary as they
have lately done in an instance of another description but
of a much more serious nature. An application was
lately made to the Council of State to authorise the prose-
cution of the Mayor of a district in the neighbourhood of
Bordeaux for having suffered a criminal charge to pass un-
noticed, on the parties implicated consenting to grant him
a promissory note for 250 francs. After the note was
signed this application was preferred by one of the parties
for leave to prosecute the Mayor for peculation ; but the
most extraordinary part of the proceeding seems to be the
interference of the part of the Prefect, who urged that

the authority to prosecute should be refused, on account
of the frequ fey of the practice; and gravely contended
that it should be permitted, as, without the perquisites
arising from the compounding of offences, the officers of
justice would not be suitably remunerated.
" A daring robbery was committed the night before last,
by a person, said to be an Englishman, in the celebrated
gaming-house in the Rue Richelieu, known by the name
of Frascati's. The criminal had frequented the house for
several evenings before, and seizing a favourable oppor-
tunity snatched up a bundle of Bank notes amounting in
value to 20,000 francs, with which he immediately jumped
out of one of the windows overlooking the Boulevards.
In consequence of the cry which was immediately raised,
he was almost instantly arrested, but he must have had an
expert accomplice, us on examining his person the money
was not forthcoming."

The dinner given to Sir EDWARD KNATCH-
BULL by the Kent No-Popery Party is an affair of
no importance in itself,and is, indeed, hardly worth
notice, were it not for the proof it afforded of
the continued sorene,s felt by the Ultra Tories at
the great measure of last Session. It would be
absurd to suppose that the drivellings of Lords
WINCHILSEA and GUILFORD, and a few
country Squires, represent the general sentiments
of the county of Kent, any more than they do
those of the people of England. But the men
who talk the greatest nonsense are seldom re-
luctant to exhibit their oratorical abilities on that
account; and wo presume Lord WINCHELSEA,
beginning to repent of the vow he made last
