HAGUE, MAY 10.

In the sitting of the second Chamber a message
from his Majesty was read, dated the Bth, stating in
substance, that '• when his Majesty assumed the So-
vereignty of the United Netherlands, his Majesty's
youngest son, Prince Frederick, was intended to have
the Sovereignty of his Nassau Dominions ; that his
Majesty, at the time of the Congress, ceded these
dominions and obtained the Grand Duchy of Luz-
ereberg instead, with which his Majesty intended to
indemnify the said Prince; that reasons of State and,,
the general interest required that all the Netherland
provinces should be united nada, mu, Soyeragiart
that therefore his Royal Highness Prince Frederick
was juitly entitled to anotLer indemnity ; and his
Majesty sent with the present message the project of
a law, tending to give to Prince Frederick certain
domains in the neighbourhood of }Veda, producing
lan annual revenue of 190,000 florins."—Sent to the
Sections for examination.—Adjourned till Tuesday.

from making any observations on their conduct.
" The proceedings having now tertninated, the Commander-
In Chief bas received the Prince Regent'i commands to declare
Ista Royal Highness's sentiments on the transactions which have
led to the trial and conviction of those Officers.

" In the instance of Msjor-General sir Robert Wilson, the
Prince Regent thinks it necessary to express his high displeasure,

weal as to the Government under whose protection he had VD.
fun anly placed himself, as to base sugaged in a measure the de-
clared object of which was to cousteract the laws and defeat the
public justice of that smutty. Nor dots his Royal Highness con-
skier the means by which this measure was accomplished as less
reprehensible titan the set i aelf : for his RayaliHighness ranuot
admit that any Circumstance could justify a British Officer in
having obtained, under falsp pretences, passports in feigned,
names from the repiisentat.ie of hi. own Sovereign, and in
having made use of such passports for himself and a subject of
his most Christian Majesty, under sentence of high treason, dis-
guised hi a British uniform, out only to elude the vigilance of
the French Government, but t s tarry Win in such di-guise
through the British lines. While the Wince Regent carino• but
consider it at a material aggravation of Sir R. Wilton'. Offence;
that holding so high a rank in the army, he should have cOunte-
sauteed and encouraged an inferior officer to contend a decided
and serious breach of military duty, his Royal Highntss newel-
thrice' thinks it equally necessary to etpress his high dispfeasuie at
the conduct of Captain 1. H. Hutchinson; for having been himself
an active instrument in a transaction uf so culpable a nature, more
especially in a country in amity with his Majesty, where the Re-
Shneat which he was serving in the course of his military
ty, formed part of an array which had been pLieed by the
Allied Sovoretgns under the command of the Duke of Wellington,
'under circumstances which made It peculiarly incumbent upon
every Officer of that Army to abstain from any conduct which
ought obstruct the execution of the laws.
" His Royal Highness the Priuee Regent being • unwilling to
visit these Officers with the lull weight oY his diapleasure, which
the completion of their offence might hive warranted, and also
taking into emasidefatian the degree of punishment to which tlicy
have subjected thetnelves. by violating the laws of the country
to which this transaction took place, has signified td tbe Com-
mander in Chief these his sentiments, that they ahoula be pub-
lisherligo the Army at large, in order to record in the most public
manner the strong sense which his Royal Highness entertains of
the flagrant misconduct of these Officers, and of the danger which
world accrue to the repotaitto and discipline of the British, Army,
if such an offence were to pass without a decided expression of his
Royal Highness's most severe reprehension. •

UN VIE IUPORTATION OF FOREIGN ctORN.—AS
many doubts have arisen as to the time and m :a-
rm of ascertaining the average by which the inn-
portation of foreign corn for home consumption is
permitted, it may be matter of information to sate
that, agreeably with tl.e 3lst of the present KciF,
the rule for regulatmg the importation into the city
of London and the counties of Esser. Kent, and Sus-
sex, is from the weekly returns made to the Inspector
of Corn Returns at Mark-lane, who; Within sect-it
days after the 15th of February, 15th of May, I 7.:h
of August, and 15th of riecernb.r, respectively, is a.,
make up and compute upon the siz last weekly ri:.
turns by h m received, the average quantities
prices of British corn, &c. (e.stept nat;;, which arc t•s
be computed from toe last twelve weekly returns).
and to transmit the same to the Receiver of Co. a
Returns, who shall transmit a certificate thereof to •
..11ectere of the Customs in London and the eorcs 4
Essex, Kent; and Sussex, as the rule by which v, •
importation shall be governed, until new met;
prices shall in like manner be made and recciv..l.
Froni which it appears, that unless the average s,r
the last six weeks shall be at or above eighty
per quarter (the price at which it was fixed by ope
Act passed last Session) no importation cin be p -r.
,rnitted, for home consumption, till after the ISt c.
August, should the average then amount. as :rr::
,stated. But, by the Act passed rase Session, w.e -
ever the average price of wheat, computed as ahoy.:
stated, shall be at or Jove 675. per quarter, Cots.
!weal, or flour, the produce ot.the British CsilotiLs =u
;North America, may be imported free of any diety.

,of the immense importati-ins which, had taken
of late, both from England and front Italy.

This was a question arto tliw • • ruction to be pe-
on an agreement entered 4w by two Captains
logging to the _Navy. It appeared that the Magicienne
was ordered by the Commander on the Lisbon sta-
tion 40 cruise off St. Michael's, and moon after the
Columbine sloop was ordered to join her ; that on
doe' arrival of the Columbine the two Captains en-
tered into an agreement to share in all captures made,
-whilst cruising there; which agreement bore date
the 2d of April, 1813, and was to end on the 24th
• of June following. It further appeared, that the
ships continued to crurze together till the Bth of
April, when a gale arose. which caused them to se-
p..rare, and ther never joined main on that station ;
that the Columbine, being short of provisions. was
obliged to proceed to Lisbon ; and, during that time,
the-above captures were made by the Magicienne.
The Court. after some judicious observations, was'
clearly olopinion, that, in consequence of the separa-
tion, the interest of the Columbine was extinguished,
and accordingly pronounced against the same.
