DUTCH PAPERS.

THE HAGUE, JULY 11.—The session of the States-
Qeneral was closed to-day by his Excellency the Mi-
nister of the Interior with the following speech:—
" NOBLE AND MIGHTY LORDS—
" The affairs which have been intrusted to your con-
sideration during this session are now terminated.

" cqn§tantly relying on your readiness to co-operate in
promoting the interest of the country, and aiming at the
improvem'nt of the several branches of the administra-
tion, the Government has successively laid before you
some important projects of law. You have gladly given
your assent to the intended marriage of her Royal High-
ness Princess Wilbelmina Maria Sophia Louisa of the
Netherlands, to his Royal Highness the Hereditary Grand
Duke Charles Alexander Augustin John, son of his
ROyal Highness the Grand Duke of Saxe Wiemar
Eirenach.

4 law fixing the expenses of the Department of Fo-
reign Affairs, completed the Budget for this year and next.
" The transfer of the register of mortgages effected be-
fore the instructions of the civil code has been regulated
in a satisfactory manner.
" Provision is made for the wants of the home colonies
for the current year.

The public' credit has been supported by the pay-
ment of part of the foreign l'yndleate.
" Tho French law on the National office has been re-
placed by an originally Dutch law,' and another step
has been taken in the consolidation of our national
legislation."

'His Excellency then mentioned several points of law
which had not been agreed to by the Second Chamber,
such as that on civil pensions, and that on the appli-
eation of the surplus revenue of the East India colonies.)
He then added, " A considerable portion of the fresh
code would have been laid before you during this session,
had not the appointment of a new Minister of Justice
prevented its being completed in time. As the other
affair has terminated, and the season is so far advanced,
it has been thought that it would be best to defer this
matter till the next session.

" After the important political, events of these latter
times, fizctuation of opinion has arisen, which .in a
sedate nation like ours, will gradually give way to a
regular course of things, and to a %veil-considered ad-
vance towards the common object. The preceding ses-
sion was the commencement of a new political era, The
present session has been characterised, in the midst of
the operations above alluded to, by the preparations of
enactments, which are the result of our public laws.
" Strong in the pursuit of purposes, and in the inde-
fatigrble zeal with which we desire to promote the wel-
fare of the eonntryi we may look forward with confidence
to the future.

"In the name of the King, f declare this ordinary
session of the States-General closed."
The Chamber then broke up.
