HAMBURGH AND DUTCH PAPERS.

BERLIN, Nov. 30.—The first account of the battle of
Navarin was received at St. Petersburgh on the 19th. It
was sent from Florence, and contains a short extract from
the report of the British Admiral, and therefore affords no
new particulars respecting the Russian division.
GRONINGEN, Nov. 29.—The number of deaths con-
tinues considerably to exceed that of births. In the week
ending the 29th, the number of births was only 13, and
that of deaths 30.
THE HAGUE, Dec. 6.—ln the Second Chaml er of Ne
States-General, the Order of the Day was the discussion of
the law apportioning the land tax among the provinces for
the year 1829, and that for relieving those provinces which
are taxed too high in proportion.
The Minister of Finance was present to defend the laws.
The first was adopted, after a long debate, by a majority of
69 to 15. The debate on the second law is not concluded.

grocanoim, Nov. 23.—A peasant in West Gothland,
!litely found under ground a golden ornament of consider-
able weight; it was in the form of a crown, and adorned with
numerous figures.
Marshal Count Sandels, late Governor of Norway, arrived
here yesterday. It is affirmed, that that high office has
been offered to Admiral Count Platin, but that he has de-
clined, being unwilling to give up the direction of the Gotha
Canal till that great national work is completed.

Report seems greatly to have exaggerated a circumstance
which occurred at Christiania on the celebration of the
Union of the two Kingdoms, on the 4th instant, when an
indifferent prologue was hissed in the Theatre by some
young men, animated by their participation in the festivi-
ties of the day. Some persons, easily Armed, considered
this as an indication of dislike to the Nation and to the
Union. According to accounts that are daily arriving, the
same day was celebrated at Drammer and other places in
Norway with the greatest enthusiasm, and the most ardent
wishes for their Majesties ail the Royal Family, and for
the Swedish Nation; and on the Bth, being the Queen's
birth-day, the city of Christiania was illuminated. His
Majesty has ordered strict inquiry to be made into the cir-
cumstance just mentioned. e'
Four couriers have been dispatched from Stockholm and
Christiania.

peror has conferred on Admiral Sir edward Codrington
the Order of St. George, of the Second Class ; and on

and receives the Order of St. George, of the Third Clam.
According to accounts from the Army of Georgia, of the
28th of October, our troops had entered Tauris, the resi-
dence of the Presumptive Heir to the Throne of Persia.—
Alacar Khan, son-in-law to the Schab, and his Prime
Minister, had been ordered to defend that place, but when
our troops approached, he was abandoned by the Sarda-
slant, and obliged to fly. However, our cavalry advancing
with celerity on all sides, he was not able to escape. He
concealed himself in a house in the suburbs, where he was
discovered, and obliged to surrender to the Co‘sarks who
pursued him. Among the prisoners is also Kelo Hussayn
Khan, of Talyche. We found at Tauris thirty-one cannon,
nine mortars, two falconets, 1,016 muskets, 10,250 balls,
a quantity of artillery stores, and about 6,000 chetwerts
of wheat and barley, besides ammunition of all descriptions.
General Paskewitch had scarcely received the news of
the taking of Tauris, when a messenger arrived with a letter
from Abbas Mirza, in which the latter declared that he
was provided with full powers from the Schah, at:d would
himself enter into negotiations for peace. The place where
they are to be carried on will be immediately fixed. On
the 28th, General Paskewitch was at Mazandar, and in-
tended to set out the day after for Tauris with his van-
guard, and to let all his troops follow.
13cussers, Dec. 7.—The anniversary of the birth-day

that the King has approved of the measure taken by the
Chancellor in prohibiting the publication of the Journal
Argus 111. It will he succeeded by another Journal, to
be called the .Ncu, Argus.
We have already seen French corn offered for sale in the
market of Amsterdam, togetLer with those of the north of
Europe. Another circumstance equally remarkable is,
that while corn is sent from various parts of Europe to
Great Britain, we receive some from that country. The
Countess of Elgin arrived on the 2d at Ostend, with a
cargo of wheat from London.—Brussels Paper, Dec. 8.

STORMY NmirT.—Last night there was such
a storm of rain and wind, as has not for a long time been
experienced in this city. We fear that ere long we shall
have disastrous accounts from sea.— Glasgow Free Press.

INSURRECTION EXTRAORDINARY.-It ap-
pears that for some time the girls who are confined at the
wrong side of the House of Industry, have strongly re-
sented attempts that are being made, by teachers whom
they think unqualified, to impart to them religious or
moral instruction. Monday the smothered mutiny broke
out with a degree of fury that entirely baffled the ordinary
powers of the House. It was found necessary to procure
the intervention of the Mayor, one of the Sheriffs, and the
entire of the City Police, by whom the insurrection was,
of course, quelled.— Waterford Mirror.

A LION KILLED BY A YOUTH OF FOUR-
TRIM—When the Regiment now stationed at our Bar-
racks was encamped one evening near a Burmese town,
about tlit' dawn of morn, a lion, of tremendous size, ap-
proached to the skirt of the camp, and dexterously stole
away the stripling, and after conveying him a short dis-
tance in his mouth by one of his arms, he was discovered
by the sentinel and some of the soldiers, who- were about
to level their muskets at the beast, Lot the lad perceiving
this, beckoned them to desist, and immediately drew from
one of his pockets, with the hand at liberty, a sharp point-
ed clasp knife, which be instantly thrust into the animal's
heart, and the beast, after mangling his arm with his jaws,
dropped down dead. This valiant son of Mars, we un-
derstand, is now residing at our Barracks.--Hants Ad-
vertiser.

A sacrilegious burglary was perpetrated in this
town on the night of Saturday last. Sunday having been
appointed for the celebration of the communion, the neces-
sary articles were deposited in the Session-house on Satur-
day, and during the night some miscreants broke in and
carried off a quantity of wine The greater part of the'
wine has been since found secreted in the neighbourhood._
Fife Herald.
On Sunday night last, some inhuman wretches
prowled into a field belonging to Mr. CARTLEDGE, at King's
Newton, county of Derby, and ripped up two sheep, leav-
ing them on the ground with their heads cut off. They
next visited a field of Mr. Scow's contiguous, where they
committed the same diabolical act on a

APPEARANCEOF REUBEN MARTIN AFTER
DEATII.—On beingi stripped, there did not appear that
muscular strength generally which was supposed; the
shoulders, however, were remarkably broad, but the wrists
wei e smaller in proportion. Excepting that of being
somewhat round-shouldered, it was a very proportionate
and perfect figure of the human frame. The body was de-
livered to the custody of the surgeon of the prison, and yes-
terday, about two o'clock, a number of gentlemen of the
profession met to arrange the time of dissection. The
manner in which the arms are tattooed must have caused
considerable pain. Upon the right arm appear the follow-
ing words and letters
