DUTCH AND HAMBURGII PAPERS.

AMSTERDAM, AUG. 1.
The King arrived here yesterday evening, at seven
o'clock, and gave audience to-day, at noon.
BERLIN, JULY V.

The King will he absent till the end of August. The
Ministers, as usual, are also gone to different baths. The
treaty for the pacification of Greece, though long expected,
has caused much sensation here. If Prussia is not a party
to it, the reason is that Prussia is not a maritime Power;
for it is certain that our Cabinet fully approves the prin-
ciples of this treaty, to which it has acceded by recognising
it, though it cannot co-operate in its execution.
FRANKFORT, JULY 30.

In the sitting of the Diet on the 19th, the President of

quire into the existence and projects of the Secret Associa-

The Emperor and Empress arrived here this afternoon,
and will stay till to •moirow. It is said that the
object of the Duke of Brunswick's visit is to get
his Majesty the Emperor to act as mediator in the dispute-
which has arisen between his Highness and the King of
Hanover; and it may therefore be hoped, that this:affair
will soon be arranged. His Highness has been received
with great attention by their Imperial Majesties.

IMPROVEMENTS.-At the meeting held yes--
terday, Sir Walter Scott, Bart., George Brown,
Esq., and Eagle Henderson, Esq. were elected
Commissioners in the room of those who had re-
signed. On the Lord Provost's suggesting Sir
Walter Scott, it was observed that, in that re-
spect at least, his Lordship's list would not be
disturbed. Sir Walter Scott, by his. writings,
had rendered Edinburgh and its environs classi-
cal—more
,especially Salisbury Craggs,, one of
its noblest features, which he had also done much
to rescue from destruction. It was impossible,
therefore, not to perceive that Sir Walter Scott's
name ought to be associated with every thing
connected with the preservation or increase of
the beauties 'of Edinburgh ; and Sir. Walter, be-
sides, had much practical knowledge, and was a
working man.—Scotsman.
We have received from a correspondent a very
affecting account of the situation of a young
man, of the name of Thomas Parker, a pauper,
who was last Sunday evening, when our cor-
respondent saw him, confined in a barn at Nor-
wood, between Oticy and Ripley, and chained
to the wall, in an entire state of nudity. It is
alleged that this youth is of deficient intellect ;
but from the answers returned to the questions
asked him, it is very probable that this may he
a misrepresentation, According to the informa-
tion before us, Parker is the illegitimate son of a
man of some property, deceased, and had left
him by his father sufficient money to bring him
up, and to place him in business at a suitable
age; but from some cause, not explained, he is
now in the deplorable situation we mention.—
For ourselves, we are wholly unacquainted with
the circumstances, and speak only from the coin-
, both verbal and written, of our cor-
respondent,inunicatn
io
who, we believe, in making this
representation through the press, is actuated
solely by motives of humanity. We hope the
Magistrates of the district will investigate this
mysterious affair, and order such assistance to
be administered as the necessity of the case re-
