THE EISG OF THE NETHERLAXDS.

William Frederic, King of the Netherlands, is the eldest son of Wil-
liam the fifth Stadtholder, descended from John, the youngest brother of
our William 111. His present Majesty was born at the Hague, on the
s4eh of August, 1772, and consequently was 68 years old the 24th of
last month. His mother was a Princess of Prussia. From hh early
years he was distinguished by habits of study and industry, evincing little
relish fOr the frivolities of a Court ; and since his accession to sovereign
power he has been frequently pointed out as that monarch of Continental
Europe who profited most by the lessons of Providence during
the awful vicissitudes that accompanied the French Revolution.
In 1791, being then a Lieutenant-Hen. in his father's army, he married
his moans, the sister of the reigning King of Prussia, who gave birth to
the resent Prince of Orange in 1792. The National Convention of
France having declared war against the Stadtholder In 1733, William
Frederick was appointed Commmander-intCh' of tile-Dutch army.
in which he displayed considerable talent, -tom,, in 1794,- captured
the fortress of Landrecy with a garrison o seven thousand men,
which bad formerly held out against Charles V. afit Prince Eugene.
After this brilliant triumph, the Emperor placed the Austrian
brae lit the Netherlands under his which raised his
tarty to fifty thousand men, with which he raised the siege of
Cludinel, compelling the French, after an obstinate contest of
levammen Won, to remiss the Sambre. In 1706, howeetr, the
Innink Muir became so powerful that all Holland was compelled to
and the thadtbolder, with his family, including the present
an asylum in England. By the treaty concluded at Paris
and
beam and. Prussia, in 1802, Fulda, Dortmund, and other petty
Zult
Inn= in emeemsy, were assigned as an indemnity to the House of
doge, for Ifte relinquishment of their calms on Holland, and almost
Immediately after the Stadtholder transferred the new acquisitions to his
eldest sat.—. William Frederick immediately took up his residence at
Fulda, in the midst of his new subjects, and devoted his whole attention
to their happiness. On the breaking out of the war between Napoleon
and the King of Prussia, which waa decided by the single battle
of Jena, WHIM= Frederick accepted a command in the Prussian
service, and was, in consequence, at the termination of the war, de-
prived of his new sovereignty. He then lived with his family in privacy
at Dantslc until the brisling out of fresh hostilities between France and
Austria, when be accepted a command under the Archduke Charles,
and was present at the battle of Wagon, in 1809. Some time since
he again visited England; and when the Dutch, encouraged by the
success of the Allies, resolved to separate themselves from France, they
unanimously offered him the sovereignty of the United Provinces, and
in March, 1814, a Charter of Liberty was solemnly sworn to by the
Prince and Deputies of the Provinces. The Congress of Vienna having
afterwards determined to incorporate Belgium with the United Pro-
vinces, in 1816, William Frederick was proclaimed King of the Ne-
therlands. and made his public entry into Brussels in the month of
April, 1816, and in the month of September in that year—the bank of
Waterloo in the meantime, having, as was supposed, secured the sta-
bility of his throue—be was proclaimed William 1. King of the
Netherlands.

defeated by Beagle without much difficulty. Beagle ran Tounh for
the 30 guinea stakes at York, which The Cardinal won easy : as A
matter of course, the latter has made a rapid advance in the odds,
and has plenty of friends. The Maria is also in demand without
rising. Brunswitka, too, is again looting up. and the Stotts say
he will win. In the mean time Priam is on his road, and is quite
well ; as regards him, however, business is at $ stand still, his friends
being naturally anxious to bear how be gets over his journey ; indeed
this has the effect of lessening the betting altogether. Hassan
is something out of favour. We give the average Witt, at the close

Wo have below, as far as in our power, made extracts
from the principal French papers, received this day, of all
paragraphs which have reference to the more important parts
of European politics. In our first page we have inserted
some information, which will be found generally interesting,
as indicative of the temper of the times. The Journal des
Debate speaks thus :
" The whole of the English Journals are unanimous in de-
claring the danger which menaces the peace of Europe, in
case any one of the neighbouring powers direct their troops
towards the Belgian provinces. This wise disposition of
England, in not interfering in the internal affairs of other
nations, is also that of the French Government. We are as-
sured that it has declared to the Government of the Low
Countries, that, if any foreign power sends a single regi-
ment into Belgium, France will immediately follow the ex-
ample ; but if the case be otherwise, she will remain
faithful and sincerely attached to her principle of neutrality.
There is in this conduct as much wisdom as dignity."

In addition to the information we gave yesterday. with
respect to the riots of the printers, we find by a private
letter, and by the National Paper, that the bakers, the
blacksmiths, the wheelwrights, and others, seem disposed
to follow the same example ; and a general war is
declared against machinery, in all the different branches
of industry. " Yes?"—says the National—" Yes!—we
indeed confess that Paris is the scene of great disorders ; but
the means of repressing them will always be far superior to
the disorders, however they may be magnified. The de-
partments must rely upon that. The immense majority of
the population is too much interested in preserving respect
for property, not to prevent any partial and imprudent at-
tempt against such a sacred right."

The lifessager des Chatribres of Tuesday, now before us,
states that the Count de RATNEVAL, Ambassador to France
from Austria, on his way from Vienna, arrived on the 29th
of August at Strasbourg, and 'left the next morning. He
has returned to Paris since yesterday evening. We are
assured that he left the Court of Vienna in the most favour-
able disposition for a prompt recognisance of -Louts. Put-
Lir p E the First, and his Government. In the existing cir-
'cumstances, the Court of Austria cannot fail to follow the
impulse given by her ally, England.
