DUTCH PAPERS.

•
A Dutch Mail arrived this morning, from the
Papers brought by which we make the following se-
lections :

EERLIN, DECEMBER S.
It is pretended that three Couriers, one after the
other, brought news from the Congress that was far
from satisfactory. Later letters are rather more fa.
vourable, and affirm that the points in dispute are
amicably adjusted. The Congress is expected to

close by the end of the year.

STOCKHOLM, NOVEMBER
When the Deputies of the Norwegian Diet had
their audience of the Crown Prince at Frederickshall,
CountWedelJarlsberg made a speech,in which he said
to That the Norwegian Diet had proclaimed Charles
on the 4th, and his heirs according to the

order of succession of 26th September, 1810 ; that

thus two ancient kingdoms which the Creator had
united together, would be bound in common ties, that
the happy hour was arrived, in which Norwegians
and Swedes could embrace as brothers, who had one
father in common; that it had been reserved for
Charles XIII. and his worthy Son, to accomplish the
glorious work of the Union ; that the Norwegians
greatly regretted that his Majesty's weak state of
health would not allow of his visiting them in this,
rigourous season; that they wished therefore, that!
his Royal Highness, and his promising son, would re-
pair to the capital of Norway, and receive the assur-
ances of the love and allegiance of the people of Nor-
way, to their new King, and at the same time, give
them an opportunity of beholding a Prince of such
rare qualifications, and distinguished virtues, who was
one day to wear the united Crown of Norway and
Sweden."—His Highness answered,
" Gl:minims—The Swedes have, with reluctance,
fought against you. The war had no object, as soon
as your chief offered to give the power into the hands
of the nation. The King has abstained from making
use of his rights. True to the course he had pre-
scribed himself, happier to reign over a free nation,
than over a people subdued by arms, he has left you
time to deliberate on the great principles which form
the freedom and incrependance of States. I know the
spirit that guided your assembly. If there were errors
in the principles, I have the satisfaction of seeing in it a
perfect good faith. Let us thank Providence for hav-
ing pointed out to us our duties, and let us consider
that we have the same interests to defend, the same
dangers to undergo, and the same glory and prospe-
rity to hope. I readily accede to your wishes, and
will to-morrow, with my son, accompany you to
Christiana."

This reply was made by his Royal Highness in
French, and then repeated in Swedish by the Duke of
Suthrmania.

BRUSSELS, DECEMBER to.
The accounts of the military measures on the
French frontiers are the same as heretofore. The
French Government, it is presumed, will cover the
frontiers in this meaner till the Congress is closed ;
the troops are as far as possible complete, and the ma
gazines full.
It is, however. observed with pleasure, that the
good understanding and the intercourse between this
country and France, increases daily. It is positively
affirmed that the French who had received passports
for America, have received an intimation not to em-
bark. This is attributed to the interference of the
Duke of Wellington.
The organization of the army is continued.

Extract of a Letter received from Rio de la Plata,
dated at the close of September—
" The Government of Lima has disavowed any allegiance to
the Spanish powers, and the Viceroy has been deposed. The
whole of Peru has been revolutionized, and the system adopted
by Buenos Ayres has been imitated."
The letter adds, that the revolution had been effect-
ed with little bloodshed, and that the people appeared
to be determined to persevere in the support of their

_
independence.
Dispatches from Ghent, which are understood to
have been of great importance, were received early
yesterday morning at the Foreign Office in Downing-
street. In consequence of their arrival, a Cabinet
Council was ordered to be summoned for two o'clock.
The Council was accordingly assembled at the hour,
at the Foreign Office, and though several of the Mi-
nisters were at some distance from town, every Mem.
ber of the Cabinet in the country attended, none being
absent but Lord CASTLERKAGH• The Council con-
tinned in deliberation on the dispatches until four
o'clock, when Mr. ALvits, the Messenger, was sent
off with dispatches for our Commissioners. It is
very generally believed that a decisive resolution with
respect to the negotiation at Ghent was adopted at
this Council, and that Mr. Arms is the bearer of the
ultimatum of our Government. What renders this
conjecture the more probable is, that Ministers are
preparing to leave town for the Holidays, a circum-
stance which indicates that there is no expectation of
the arrival, for some time to come, of dispatches,
which may require an immediate consideration in
Council.
DUILDL.mm•DILLON v. VANDELNUR.••.-This was an
action brought for breach of promise of marriage.
The damages were laid at 5,0001. Upon the opening
of the pleadings, an offer was made by thedcfendant's
counsel, consenting to a verdict for 8,5001. which
proposal was acceeded to by the plaintiff's attorney.
We are sorry to state (says a Dublin Paper) that a
duel was fought on Wednesday morning, at Marlbo-
rough Green, between two Gentlemen of the Law,
which terminated fatally, one of the Gentlemen, Mr.
P. having been mortally wounded.
The benevolent intentions of Mr. SIDDONS in ap.
propriating the profits of the Theatre on Tuesday
sennight to the Mausoleum to Buitics, were not so
fully supprirted by the public as was expected. The
het receipts amounted only to £BO. 18s.
