DUTCH PAPERS.

ST. PETERSBURGH, AUG. 19.—The Gazette de
Commerce publishes some extracts from a work just
published under the title of the " Foreign Trade of
the Empire in 1828." The total exports were to
the amount of Rub. 208,645,988

Imports

191,344,111

Excess of Exportation 17,301,877

In 1827 the excess ofexportation was

42,832,375

This diminution might lead to the conclusion that
trade was not so advantageous in 1828, but it must
be remembered that the exports from the sea of
Azoff and the Euxine had been that year twenty-
six millions below those of 1827. This decrease is
chiefly in corn, of which 1,770,8.50 chetwerts were
exported from the ports of the two seas in 1827,
and only 100,750 chetwerts in 1828.
The receipt of the Customs in 1828 amounted to
Rub. 62,124,151 ; in 1827 to 62,084,636, making
an excess in 1828 of 39,515.

Up to the 16th instant there had arrived at Cron-
statit 1,013 ships; sailed, 698.

The Gazete of Tiflis contains a Proclamation ad-
dressed by Gen. Paskewitsch to his army, after the
defeat of the Turkish army on the Ist and 2d of
July ; it is dated the 7th, in the camp before Hassan
Kale. The General speaks in the highest terms of
praise of the indefatigable zeal and valour of the
men. Speaking of the almost insuperable difficulties
of the ground, he says " You begged of me to lead
you this way, I declined because victory must have
been purchased with the sacrifice of many among
you, and every one of you is dear to me both for the
sacrifices he makes for the country and on account of
my personal attachment to you." Farther on, he
says, " The trophies of these two memorable battles
fought in the time of twenty-five hours, are evi-
dences of your invincible valour. You have anni-
hilated the enemy; all the roads are open to you
that lead to the heart of the provinces of Asia,
where the glorious recollection of the deeds of Rome
still survives, after the lapse of 2,000 years. Pro-
ceed then joyfully, brave warriors; our latest poste-
rity will place your exploits by the side of the victo-
ries of Rome and Asia.—St. Petersburgh Papers,
Aug. 19.
BRUSSELS, AUG. 31.—1 t is believed that the mar-
riage of the Princess Marianne to Prince Albert of
Prussia is finally determined, and that the journey
of his Majesty the King of Prussia to this kingdom
is for the purpose of being present at the ceremony
of the betrothing of the royal pair. The marriage,
it is said, will be solemnized at the Hague in March
next year.
Prince Albert, it is further reported, will be ap•
pointed Governor of the fortress of Luxemburg by
the German Confederation, and Governor of the
Grand Duchy by his father-in-law, our Sovereign.
The Prince of Hesse Homburg, at present Gover•
nor of the fortress, has lately succeeded, on the death
of his brother, to the Landgraviate of Hesse Homburg.
THE HAGUE, AUG. 30.—0 n the 26th inst. a de-
plorable accident occurred in the coal-mine of L'Es-
perance, near Serany. At ten in the morning a
dreadful explosion was. heard, caused, as it seems,
by inflammable air. Of 56 or 60 workmen who
went down into the pits in the morning, no less
than 30 were killed, and the remainder have suffered
more or less injury. The shock was so violent that
four horses, in a subterranean stable at the distance
of 1,000 ells, were killed.

The honourable fraternity of black-legs are all
winging their flight towards Doncaster, many of them
anxiously hoping to make up for the dullness of the recent
London season.

That Piince of Humbugs, the " wandering
minstrel," was here a few days ago, levying contributions
on the visitors. It was astonishing to see ladies of rank
and title shaking him by the band, and bestowing on him
silver and gold. —Brig /don Guardian.
