The .AHgemeins Zsiiung, Of the 18th instant,
contains the following observations upon
question which is agitat.d just now with much
veaemenee, in Germany, viz. the proceedings
Of the Netherlands Government with respesf to
The free navigation Of the Rhine
From the Rhine, November g.
The note Of the Dutch government respect
ing the navigation Of the Rhine, is called, in
several German journals, "a document Oh the
highest importance to Germany But, In
ruth, il Is not important either to German ma
vieation,l OF German commerce; because the
greatest obstacle TO both remains unchanged
I, is, however, so far interesting, as II shows
hat the heps hitherto taken by Austria; Eng
land, Russia, and Prussia, 10 induce the Meth
erlands % execute the Vienna convention are
fruitess and that the Netherlands government
has sou1h new excuse, 10 make /, be believed
that, dating from the LIST Of April next year, 1t
gjll cary into effect the Vienna convention for
the navigation Of the Rhine. The only conces-
,iors ars. that the Leck, which is choked with
sand, is to be considered as the Dutch Rhine,
that oui ships might navigate 1t unmolested;
.ha, no more duties shall be exacted than on
any o,hr parts Of the Rhine, and that the pro-
hib:,ioss Of transit shall be abolished. The
hrst is impeding the navigation; for two-shirds
Of the water carried down by the Rhine into
HOLLAND, are received into the WAL, and
four,hlof the remaining third by the VESSEL
We may Judge therefore, how much water re"
mains Tor the free. Dutch Rhine; and it was
,herefors proposed at the Vienna congress, that
both The Waal and the Leck should be con-
sidersd as the Dutch Rhine. The second has
been long since promised by the Dutch gov
eminent, TO the commission at Mayence, and
is in fact, no more than the cessation o! the
higher duties illegally levied in Holland
The last point, allowing the free transit,
removes the prohibitions in favour ofthe Dutch
TRADE, s. permits the free trade which the Dutch
shippers may carry on with each other, on the
Dutch Rhine, for they may hencetorward go,
without, difficulty, as far as the Sea, but there
they stick fast, as in sack, till they have paid
the expor, duty fixed by Holland, at its own
pleasure, and which may be 20 high on some
goods, as to be equivalent to prohibition. II
they will not do this, they will be at liberty 10
20 home again, unless they think 1t best that
they may no, have made their voyage IN vain,
to sell their goods to the Dutch for The small
price which the latter may please to give
This is the new freedom OF the navigation o.
the Rhine 10 the sea. The Dutch tatesmen,
on thei other hand, wish their ships to navigate
the whole Rhine, free from all staples, 10 bring
Colonial produce TO The bosom OF any German
state. and 20 take back their produce, for the
Dutch trade beyond sea- most promising con-
cession truly"

Lord CoShrane, we understand, has lett Mar
seilles for Lsghorn. We have also reason to
believe, that his lordship, though distressed
and irrisated by the delays in the construction
ard eoaibment of the steamboats,, and all the
fraudulea,, proceedings of individuals in this
coun,rv1w with respect to the Greek loans, is still
Car frors despairing Of the Greek cause, or

Its stated on good authority that the Turks
have at las, Welded to the demonstrates OF
England and France on the subject OF the
Greeks. and that an arrangement for the indie

Favorable to the Porte than they would have
been. had that obstinate government sooner
consented to do what was equally demanded by
