EX-KING OF HOLLAND.

A letter from Amsterdam, of the 30th of May, contains the
following singular statement :—Our ex-King arrived to day at
the Loo. On this occasion the Ki g has not thought it pro-
per to let his father come into the country without paying him
his respects as a son. At this moment we suppose their Ma-
jesties are together. It has been remarked that the old King
makes every body fly at his approach. The King goes to
Luxemburgh ; the Queen has hastened to the pavilion of Soets-
dyk, accompanied by her daughter, Princess Sophia. The
Princess of Orange, at the first notice, hastened to Stutgard to
take refuge at the Court of her father ; the Prince, her hus-
band, speedily followed her. Prince and Princess Frederick,
just as they did last time, go from Holland to Berlin just at the
moment when the ex-King came from Berlin to Boland.
Prince Henry sets out to-day for Farshing, to embark on board
Ryn for St. Petersburgh ; lastly, Prince Alexander, it is
said, accompanies his father to Luxemburgh. The ex-King,
therefore, if he comes to the Hague, will absolutely find no-
body. Are all these simultaneous departures owing to mere
accident? In my opinion this is rather hard to believe.

The proclamatton issued by the President of Texas announc-
ing the blockade of the Mexican States, attracts much atten-
tion. The possibility of enforcing it is very winch doubted,
but the annoyance and obstruction which it will give to com-
merce is viewed with much apprehension. The jealousy with
which the navigation of the Atlantic is felt by the Americans
is well known, and every obstacle which could be thrown in its
way by th4t Government has been carried into effect ; the
prohibitory regulations relative to the West India steamers,
for instance, and it is feared that this opportunity
of crowding the seas with privateers, under the
Texian flag will not be lost. The conduct of our own Govern-
ment with regard to this document is pretty freely commented
upon, and the uncertainty in which our commerce is placed
thereby, severely condemned. Already orders for manufac-
tured goods, which had been given, have been countermanded,
and although it is stated that Captain Elliott has left for that
country, still the general feeling is, that our South American
trade is in a vary insecure state.

INDIA AND CHINA.

BY EXPRESS.

The Indian mail, which arrived at Marseilles on
Wednesday night, brings, we lament to say, an ac-
count of the fall of Ghuznee. The place capitulated
and surrendered, on condition that the garrison be
safely conducted to Caubul. On the other hand,
Colonel Pollock had forced the Khyber pass, and
taken possession of the forts commanding it, and
would, no doubt, march to the relief of Jellalabad.
General Sale, in a sortie from that place, overthrew
the insurgents.

A rumour prevailed that Akhbar Khan had been
badly wounded.
General Knott had gained some advantage on the
side of Kandahar, but General England had not yet
joined him. It is reported that Scha Soojah had been
poisoned.
There is no news from China.
