Dutch Papers to the 11th inst., have been received
this morning, from which the following are extracts:-
lIAARLIDI, MARCH 9.

It is understood that his Majesty's ship the Waterloo, is not to
return to Holland in order to be put into condition to prosecute
its voyage to Batavia, but that it will be provided with every
thing necessary, and that the troops will remain on board there.
We also learn that merchant vessels will soon be fitted out for the
conveyance of the troops which were embarked on board the
Wassencer.

Accounts from Brussels affirm, that in consequence of the re-
marks made in the sections of the second Chamber, on the pro-
ject of law for the organisation of the Courts of Justice, it is in-
tended by the Government to make considerable alterations in it.

HAGUE, MARCH 8.
The accounts received respecting the state of the rivers are on
the whole not unfavourable. (The details of the rising and falling
of the water, the breaking up of the ice, &c. fill some columns in
the Dutch Papers.) The breach of the Dyke at Ochlen, appears
to be the only considerable accident of the kind.

VIENNA, FEB. 22.
On the Ist of this month the inhabitants of Fiume were thrown

into great consternation by a violent shock of an earthquake. On
the sth there was a terrible storm from the south, during which
the sea rose to a great height, and did much damage to that part
of the town next the beach.

From the 23d February to Ist March the number of deaths at
Groningen was 36.

We have also received the Journal de St. Peters-
ztrg of the 24th February, but it contains little of
interest:

ST. PETERSRURGH, FEB. I.

The Privy Councillor and Senator Arcadi Nelidoff has just
been elected Marshal of the nobility of the Government of St.
Peteraburgh for the next three years ; and M. N. Koussoff, Aulio
Councillor, has been re-elected Mayor of this capital for the same
time.

FEB. 23.—0 n Wednesday last, the 21st of this month, there
was a masquerade for the nobility and merchants at the Winter
Palace, and a supper at the Hermitage for the persona invited.
Above 34,000 persons were present at this entertainment.

to
judge by the first trials must be very rich, for in one part 100
poods (3600 lbs.) of sand yielded above l 0 lbs. of gold, and in
general the proportion is from three to ten zolotnochs of gold for
100 poods of sand ; three poods of gold were extracted in 17
days, and in the month of December six poods, though the work
was not carried on with much activity. Some pieces of pure
gold have been found, the largest of which weighed eight zolot-
nochs (about l oz.). This mine, on. account of its richness, has
received the name of Tsarevo-Nicolaevsky.

The state of ignorance in which we remain, as to
the real intentions of the Spanish Government, is
really most surprising. The strongest evidence existed
of the sinister conduct of Spain in the early stage of
the rebellion in Portugal, and we were told, and we
expected, that the energetic remonstrances which Mr.
LAMB would make on behalf of this country, would
oblige Spain to desist from all interference with
the affairs of her neighbour, or that hostilities
would be the consequence. For a time those remon-
strances appeared to have some effect, and although no
unequivocal disavowal of further interference was pub-
licly made by FERDINAND, still the demi-official de-
clarations of the Madrid Gazette lulled apprehensions,
and, indeed; made people believe, that the Spanish
Government would quietly back out of the policy
which it had previously acted upon. Since then,
however, a variety of circumstances has occurred,
and numerous facts have been brought to light,
which prove to demonstration that FERDINAND

is still secretly aiding and abetting the Rebels
to the Constitutional Government of Portugal.—
The correspondence whicli has been intercepted, and
the friendly reception which the Rebels have more

than once received, when obliged to retreat from the
Portuguese territory, have plainly shewn that the same
system which had been so long in operation was still
in existence. The subsequent disarming of a few of

can no longer entertain a doubt upon the
subject. In the meantime, the most extraordinary
exertions have been making to raise and organise
a powerful army, and a military force of no contempti-
ble extent, has been collected on the frontiers of Por-
tugal. What, we would ask, can this mean ? and

what are we doing in consequence ? These. are points
to which we have repeatedly drawn the attention of

our Readers, and on which we think some informa-
tion is due to the public.
We have never entertained a doubt of the object and
intentions of FERDINAND, and recent information

which we have received, tends more strongly to confirm
the opinion we had formed from the commencsmpit,
We have been accused of having entertained im•

proper suspicions of the conduct of France, but facts
have come to our knowledge which go far towards
convincing us that Spain has been encouraged in the
course she has pursued, and has been assisted in the
means of raising and paying her Army by her powerful
neighbour. The time is, however, at hand, when the
state of utter ignorance in which we have been left, re-
garding the intentions of Spain, must be cleared up ;
and it will then be seen that we have not entertained

unjust suspicions or erroneous opinions.

It is understood that no Ministerial arrangements
will take place until Easter.
All ill! most important
public business will be got through prior to the ad-
journment of the Houses of Parliament for the Holi-
days, so that whatever changes may then he made will
not lead to any consequences inconvenient to the pub-
lic service. The reports which were in circulation on
Saturday of Mr. CANNING having tendered his Re-

slgnation, were destitute of foundation, and we trust
that no event of that nature is likely to occur.
His MAJESTY, it is understood, will be in town
this week, and possibly some temporary arrangement
may then be made for executing such part of the busi-
ness of the Treasury as may be suspended by the la-
mented illness of Lord LIVERPOOL.

The Duke of York packet has arrived with a New
York and Halifax Mail. She sailed from New York
on the Bth February, and from Halifax on the 19th ;
she brings nothing interesting from New York, later
intelligence from the United States having been pre-
viously received.

The letters from different parts of the coast arrived
at Lloyd's this morning, furnish a long and lamentable
list of vessels either lost or driven on shore in the late,
severe gales, particularly in the Irish Channel and on
the coast of Northumberland, which shipwrecks, we
are sorry to add, have been attended with the loss of
many lives.

'he John Bull of yesterday, judging very correctly
that the.side which he takes on the Catholic Question
has
need of farther support, though apparently victori-
ous for the present—gives, by the way of a leading
article, an essay of considerable length as a sort of sup-
plement to Sir JM COPLEY'S speech, which speech,
would no doubt, have been still better, had " the
MASTER of the ROLLS (to quote Bull of last week),
been dressed as a MASTER of the ROLLS ought to
be," instead of wearing a frock coat, which we should
conceive to be 'very far from an orthodox habit. We
cannot command leisure at present to bestow on this
learned dissertation the attention which it, merits by
reading it through, but we beg leave to express our
conviction, that there is not the slightest foundation for
"the most confident statements that Mr. CANNING
has virtually resig,ned office." Poor Bull, it is gene-
rally known, would sincerely rejoice at such an event,
and therefore some persons seem to have been prac-
tising on his credulity by bringing him agreeable fic-
tions, for which we suppose they have been hand-
somely rewarded. _ _ _

If the whole of the above-mentioned leading article,
or essay, is equal to the part which we have read, we
should strongly recommend Bull to publish it as a
Pamphlet, and distribute it, gratis, through all parts of
the Kingdom. When he talks of Religion, he is sure
to be great ; but, at the same time, we cannot help
regretting, that the Church of England should have
for its advocate a Paper generally evincing so little
Christian charity to the feelings of mankind, whatever
its doctrines may be. Our own idea is, that John
thinks " Religion" is synonymous with " Tythes,"
and having some friends possessed of good livings,
he is, therefore, equally inveterate against Catholics
-and Dissenters, viewing them all as men, inclined to
have their share of religion, that is, of tythes. Such
connection can be of no service to any Church, and
surely the Church of England, strong in its own merits,
is little obliged to such advocates.

Trinidad Papers have be-en received at the North
South American Coffee. House, to 27th of Jan.
The following is an extract :

“ The official letter of Lord Bathurst to the Governor of Bar-
rd°es, relative to runaway slaves, has excited no inconsiderable
'egtee of interest and attention in this Island. We confess that
Indiagug is too strong to mark the feelings which the West
I Legislature justly entertain of the communications which
ire been made to them respecting runaway slaves from foreign
la1:4118. We trust that the other colonies possessing local Legis-
, urei• will follow the example set them by the spirited re-
"4,Wistrance of the Barbadoes House of Assembly on this commu-
i'lestion.”

These Papers also allege that the principles are
unjust to foreign colonies, and must eventually cause
BTeat confusion, and destroy the rights of property
n 4 the principles of honesty at the throne of political
fanaticism and popular clamour.
