THE NETHERLANDS.

Brussels Pacers have arrived: they bring the fol-
lowing report of the speech of the King of the Nether-
lands, on opening the Session:—

BRUSSELS, OCTOBER 19.

Yesterday at one o'clock his Mliesty set out from the
Palace, in the usual state, to the Palace of the States-
General, where, having been received with the accus-
tomed ceremonies, his Majesty opened the Session with
the following gracious speech, in the Dutch language:
" HIGH AND MIGHTY LORDS—It is agreeable to me
to open the Session by the communication that an al-
liance subject to the common consent of your High
Mightinesses; has been projected between my beloved
youngest son and the youngest daughter of his Majesty
the King of Prussia. This union, which Heaven will
bless, will augment the happiness of my family, and
especially that of my son ; the bonds of relationship and
friendship which already exist between me and my il-
lustrious ally will be strengthened by it.
" Since your last meeting not only have the most
friendly relations and the most pacific sentiments been
maintained between this kingdom and all the Powers
of Europe, but the hope is revived that an engagement
with the neighbouring and friendly Powers will give a
fieer course to commerce, and to the produce of our soil
and manufactures more extensive markets than can be
procured by prohibitions or restrictions.
"As a new proof of the sentiments of good-will that
animate the Government of the Netherlands, it has been
regulated by a preliminary arrangement, which holds
out the prospect of a more general Convention, that the
ships of one of our allies shall, from this moment, enjoy
the same prerogatives which the law gives to our na-
tional vessels: this assimilation is founded on reciprocity.
" Our commercial relations, both in Europe and other
parts of the world, are strengthened and increased by
suitable measures.
" The Patriotic Institution created in the course of
this year, by the general and efficacious co operation of
both classes, will, I hope, not attempt in vain, by a pru-
dent employment of large capitals, to give new vigour
to agriculture, manufactures, commerce, and navigation. li
" These views will be favoured by the extension given
to our possessions in the East Indies, in consequence of
the Treaty lately concluded with Great Britain, as well
as by the tranquillity and order which those possessions
and our West India Colonies continue to enjoy.
" Our internal property has increased the Institutions
created, and the measures adopted to increase and. se-
cure the order introduced into the administration are
eonsolidated, and in general answer the expectations
formed of them.
" The higher branches of instruction, as *ell as primary educa-
tion everywhere diffuse their salutary effects.
" The fine arts flourish-
" The harvest has again been abundant.
" The continued decrease in the price of grain hat rendered it
necessary to institute a further examination into the interest of the
tamers, in relation to those of the Communes.
" I depend on the co-opecation of your High blightinesses to do.
termine the means which seem to me calculated to answer the wish
which your Assembly has expressed on this subject.
" Meantime the abundance of provisions has had a favourable ef-
fect on the means of subsistence of the people. The object of my
constant solicitude is to cause the sources of industry to tow freely
and abundantly, and so open sew ones.
.1 The establishment of necessary or useful communications*, and:
the improvement of those that exist, continue to engage my attention.
" The lagoon the national militia are now executed without any
embarrassment. My desire to free also their execution from all
dillleulties as to the pet, wilt give occasion to a project of law."

- tAGTHAIST, OCTOBEtt 8.
The Captain of a vessel, arrived in fifteen days from
Chiarenza, has confirmed the news already published
on the shores of the Adtiatic, that the united Turkish
114yptiau fleets have had severe •engagemeilt the
vicinity of Ilhodes, with the Greek squad', on of Adrojaal
Miattlis, in which they were completely defeated; hav-
ing lost several ships of war, and a conaderable
number of transports full of troops. Three Tut kish
ships, from forty to twenty guns, were blown up by the
Greek fire-ships.

Ooroseis
Not a vessel enters our pcnt that does not confirm the
news ('f the destruction of the Egyptian &et by Admiral
Miaulis. It is universally believed 1.441 the Paella has
always intended to deceive the Divan of Constantinople;
but we may believe that he wished w conquer the
Morea, .ur at least the island of Candia, on his own ac-
count, when we look to the amount of the forces which
he had put to sea. The statement cf the amount of the
ai mament comes from Alexandria in a way we can rely
upon. It consisted of 54 ships of war, of 4.6 to 16 guns,
52 Egyptian transports, and 91 others, chartered by
Europeans. The troops embarked consisted of 19,200
men. The plague had begun to consume them before
the fire-ships of the Greeks reduced them to ashes.

The Dotle, in reference to an article in the Mo: ming
Chronick, which asserts that the French agents in the
Archipelago had been hostile to the Greeks, conform•
ably to instructions transmitted to them, says—.-" It is
not true that France has been hostile towards the
Greeks. Her ships and her Consuls have aided them
wherever they could; and her counsels, in accordance with
those of Europe, only tend to put an end to the most
horrible of wars, which recals to m;n3 fie wars of
Paganism—the wars of extei

The following appears in one of the Paris Morning
Papers:—Extract of a private letter of the 26th ult.
from Corfu :—" The difference which existed between
the Lord High Commissioner c f the lonian Islands and
the Greek Government has been amicably adjusted. A
new noclarnation has just been issued, by which all
English and lonian subjects are again enjoined to ob-
serve the strictest neutrality."
Extract of a private letter:—" Considerable specula-
tions are on foot respecting the real object of Admiral
Tatisebeff, from Russia; some say it is respecting the
Greeks and Turks."

Extract translated from the Gazette of Amsterdam of
the 18th of October, 1824:—" Private letters from Con-
stantinople of the 10th of September, confirm the de-
struction of all the Turks who were lauded at Samos,
and alio the greater part of their fleet ; and they fur-
ther state, that the remains of that expedition escaped
by flight to Stanchos (Cos.) The Egyptian fleet, after
having been tiluglily handled by the Greeks, sought re.
fuge in Candia, having 'littered greatly. The lireeks
had taken a great number of transports laden with stores
and provisions. The Persians have again seized Etze-
rum ; the Porte had knowledge of this two months ago,
but carefully concealed it. The arrival of an English
courier from Bagdad, who left that place on the 16th
of August, had made public that interesting news. The
Pacha of Acre, and the chiefs of the neighbouring pro.
vinces, are in movement, and it is reported that they
are about to march against the Paella of Egypt, with
whom the Sultan is highly enraged, on account of the
slowness of his expedition by sea, and discoveries which
have been made respecting him, and which throw►
great suspicions on his intentions. Thus in this cam-
paign, both by sea and land, the standard of the Cross
has again triumphed."
