FROM THE FRENCH FRONTIERS, FEB. &

We learn from Paris that Count Lanjuinais, Peer
of France, has signified his intention to make a mo-
tion tending to give the banished French an oppor-
tunity to return to France, and it is added that the
French Government is now sufficiently convinced of
the solidity of the present order of things, and there-
fore not disinclined to take this measure. It is af-
firmed that the 38 persons included in the second
Royal Ordinance shall be permitted to return if they
fix their abode in their respective departments. The
other French who have voluntarily expatriated them-
selves shall also be allowed to return ; but it is
thought that most of them will not make use of this
permission. The late decline in the prices of corn,
the more than probable re-organization of the army
and the reserves, &c. have made the most favourable
impression, particularly on the military of all ranks.
All the couriers that arrive at Cambray for the
Duke of Wellington are sent to Paris, even though
they concern only the reports from the Army of Oc-
cupation. The report that the whole head-quarters
are to be removed to Paris, is entirely destitute of
foundation.

HAGUE, FEBRUARY 6.
SECOND CHAMBER OF THE STATES GENERAL.

Two Messages from his Majesty were read ; the
Sri transmitted a Convention, concluded by his
Majesty with the King of Hanover, as the actual
possessors of East Friesland. This Convention con-
tains the necessary dispositions for the liquidation of
the Debts of that Province, which have been before
inscribed in the Great Book of the Kingdom of Hol-
land. The Convention was ordered to be printed.
The second Message contained the project of a
law for the purpose of granting premiums for what
is called the Little, or Iceland Cod Fishery, which is
carried on between the 66th and 77th Degrees of
North latitude. The project was ordered to be prir.t-
ed and sent to the Sections.

In the Sitting of the Second Chamber on the 10th,
the Director-General of the Indirect Taxes was in-
troduced into the Assembly, and read a long expo-
sition of various projects of laws, with the drawing
up of which he was charged by his Majesty, con-
taining various corrections and changes in the laws
relative to the indirect taxes, and concerning the
manner of levying them, for the interest of the Pub-
lic Treasury, as well as of the manufactures and com-
merce of the kingdom. The Director-General having
retired, it was resolved, on the motion of the Presi-
dent, to print his speech, and the various projects of
laws accompanying it, in both languages, to be dis-

trilinted to the Member, and to refer the ti to
Elections,—The Assembly then adjourned tin Fl
the 13th instant.

HAGUE, FEBRARY a.
We learn that the three laws respecting th,
nances were passed almost unanimously, last 1.
in the First Chamber of the States General.
