day next.

The Duke of NEWCASTLE complained to their Lordships of a
letter which appeared the day before yesterday in the " Morning Chro.
nicle" newspaper, which letter purported to be a report of a speech made
at Nottingham by his Majesty's Attorney General, impugning as
wicked and scandalous, a sentiment expressed by him (the
Duke of Newcastle) to the effect, shall I not do with my
own as I will," which sentiment had referred to the return of members
to Parliament for the Borough of Newark ; he would ask of their lord-
ships if such language was fit and becoming, to fall from the lips of his
Majesty's Attorney-General. He trusted that the Noble Earl at the
head of his Majesty's government, would state his sentiments on the
subject to the Attorney-General ; his object was to call his Majesty's At.
tortsey-General to account for:such conduct, when an open enemy
attacked him, he met that enemy face to face; but when an insidious
one presented himself, he combatted to the best of his power. He
would not yield to any one in the country for independence, which he
valued in his own person, as much as any of their Lordships, and he
could not quietly yield to such attacks. Whilst he was on his legs, he
would take the opportunity of beseeching the Noble Earl at the
head of the Government, not to agitate the question of reform.—Left
sitting.

NAPLES, No• 11.
Our young monarch does not disappoint the hope which he excited
when he acted u regent, in the absence of his father. Every thing in-
duces us to expect that his reign will be the happiest in the history of
this fine country. His Majesty is successfully adopting measures of
reform and economy. It is said that the ministry of the Royal house-
hold will be replaced by an intendant, and that a considerable part of
the vast domains which have hitherto been reserved for the chase,
will be let, and that the saving which will result from these two
articles will be employed In paying off the national debt. Our
funds have risen in consequence to 71, with the appearance of further
improvement. His AI ajesty has appointed his brother, Prince Leo-
pold, Count of Syracuse, Lieutenant-General in Sicily, till his Royal
Highness can repair to his post, his functions will be exercised by
General Nimziante, who has just set out for Palermo. The discharge
of the Marquis de la Parma, late Lieutenant-General, will be very
agreeable to the Sicilians, sho had many reasons to complain of has
administration. General Seluzzo has been appointed to the office
which General Nimziante held before, and it said that General Fi-
langari will be restored to his rank in the army.

BERLIN, Nov. 23.
A report is in circulation here, that important despatches have been
received by our Government. It is thought that they contain the news
of a change of Ministry at London. if this event should be con-
firmed, our preparations for war, and those of Russia, will experience a
notable check, for it is now known upon good authority, that the war-
like dispositions of the Emperor Nicholas originate in a great degree in
the machinations of the Wellington Cabinet. A war with France would
meet with no sympathy here, except among the nobility, or die servants
of the Government. Nlany of them, full of martial conceit, already
hold in our circles the most inconsiderate language. To hear them
iewould be mere child's play to beat the French, because they
hive no longer the man who so often led them to victory.
Our government, on its side, did not fear to excite in the people the
sentiment of distrust and antipathy, which it felt itself against the new
order of things in France. Our State Gazette, the official organ of the
government, also aimed at this object, not by its arguments, for it never
makes use of any, but by its concealments and the disingenuous manner
in which it relates the events in France. In its yesterday's number, for
instance, giving an account of the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies
of the 13th inst. it publishes the whole speech of M. Mauguin, affecting to
strengthen by the terms it uses the republican impetuosity of ;hat speaker,
whereas it gives only an insignificant extract from the remarkable
speech of M. Bignon, passing over in silence all the pacific views which
it contains. But this system of partiality is well known, and no lonic'
surprises any body. The great mass of the Prussian people openly de.
elate against every kind of hostility against the French nation, and feel
a cordial interest in the memorable events of which your country has
been the theatre since the 27th of July.

SECOND CHAMBER OF THE STATES-GENERAL.

SITTING or FRIDAY, Nov. 18.
A Royal resolution was received, announcing that Messrs. Van
Doom and G. O. Clifford were appointed, ad interies, M. Doom Mi-
nister of the Interior, and M. Clifford of the National Industry, Colo-
nies, tte. The order of the day was the debate on the project of law
for a levy of the militia of 1831. The Minister of the Interior was
present, to defend the law. &tool members spoke on the occasion,
some of whom disapproved of parts of the proposed law, but declared
that they should vote for it, on account of the urgent necessity of pro.
riding for the defence of the kingdom. M. de Jooghe, in his speech,
made the following observations :
"It is true we have heard of a suspension of anns, but we do not know
the condition or the time of its duration. However, we place entire
confidence on an armistice, for the observance of which our security is
the word of persons who lately sat here, with their oath to the Conatitu.
don in their mouths, chile they now reject a family confirmed by the
Constitution, and the fidelity of rebels, whose daily aim is the breaking
of oaths and conventions. Let then our motto • watch' ever sound in
our ears. Let us remember that our existence and our honour will
be lost, if we do not remain with arms in our hands with in-
creasing energy, by which alone we can obtain a glorious peace.
Holland cannot be saved, unless it does not suffer itself
to be hushed to sleep by the arts of a perfidious enemy,
or if it does not sufficiently exert itself where its existence is at stake,
but suffers itself to be suided by the commands or plans of other powers.
If there wets still justice in Europe, justice ought to be done to our old
country. and it would be acknowledged that a nation which is ready to
sacrifice its blood and its property for the maintenance of one country,
deserved to be esteemed and protected by Europa .but history, as it
were, will have to record in our annals that Europe. and surely to its
own loss, has greatly debased itself by abandoning the cause of justice
and fidelity, and perhaps espousing that of injustice and the most shame.
ful rebellion. Nothing remains to Holland but to help itself, and as a
means to this end I readily vote for the law."
THE HAGUE, Nov. 30.
The first Chamber of the States General has agreed to the law
for caning out the militia for 1831. The Second Chamber yesterday
adopted, by thirty-six votes to three, the project of law for can.
pleting the law of November 3d, this year, for the punishment of
the seditious and ill-disposed. A Royal Message was read, with a
project of the law for the free importation of corn and coals, per.
mitted by his Majesty's reeolutiun of the 6th and Bth of October.
