AREAL BLESSING TO MOTHERS.—There is not, perhaps, in the whole Materia Medics, any one remedy which so effectually relieves the pain of a suffering patient a the AMERICAN SOOTHING SYRUP. Who can watch the writhing tortures into which a lovely infant is often convulsed during the period of dentition, without feeling sympathy for its sufferings? and who would hesitate to procure a remedy, when a remedy can be found, which is obvious by the effectual relief afforded in so many distressing cases which are daily coming to the foxier of Mrs JOHNSON? Therefore, Mothers ought to by without the AMERICAN SOOTHING SYRUP in the Nursery ; fur if a Child awakes in the night with pain, by only robbing the gums with a few drops of the Syrup, it will immedi ately open the pores, heal the gums, and thereby prevent fevers and convulsions; for should it come in competition with any other ilhorder, it often destroys the mother's brightest hopes.

We have received by express the Gazette de France dated Wednesday, the ifessager des Chanbres, the Montrose, and other Pads papers of Tuesday. (Prom the Gazette 4 Frames.) The Ring has gone to St. Germain. The Duke of \ foreman was to quit St. Petersburgh on the 15th of this month. He thus takes advantage of the leave granted to him to leave or rands, as he might think proper. There is no longer any doubt of the Emperor of Russia's journey to Errs during the nest summer, after having opened the Diet of Poland at Warsaw." The Game& plants amongst the lies of the day the mots ithat 111. - de Montbel bad resigned. The Casette contains also the following sentence, which is not very precise, though not altogether unintelligible:— " We think it oar duty to tell the Royalists, that the mese quenees of the late proceedings will be all in favour of the monarchy (ononarekirses), and that the acts of the Government will soon prove it." The ifissager des Claambres,*con the authority of a privets letter from London, states that new difficulties enter at the last Council of Ministers relative to the affairs of Portugal and Greece. Prince Leopold is said to have required a delay of three months, in conse quence of having received unfavourable news from his future domi nions. This paper adds, that Ministers seem to repent having so much laboured and intrigued &II they have done for an individual who turns out not to be altogether suited to their views. A letter addressed by the Minister for Foreign Affairs to the Chamber of Commerce at Marseilles, makes the following commu nication, with the view of quieting the minds of the merchants of that city respecting the state of Government relations with the coast of Africa:— " We are (says the Minister) on a perfectly good understanding with Egypt, as well as all the other provinces under the dominion of the Sultan ; but our relations with Tripoli are precarious, since the Consul of his Majesty was forced to remove from this regenc►, in consequence of insults which he had received, and because he considered his personal safety in danger. He caused the French flag to be taken dawn, which has not been replaced. "We are it peace with Tunis, and the empire of Morocco. The King has determined on the adoption of vigorous measures for put ting an end to the war, which. for three years past, has been carried on against Algiers. The military preparations now in progress in the ports of France are destined solely to act against this Barbary power. " The expectations raised on the roost of Africa by the blockade of Algiers, and the preparations for more active warfare now in pm. gray together with the uncertainty of our relations with Tripoli, seem to have excited in the Barbary States an agitation which should induce our merchants to be circumspect in their transactions in that quarter. The same motive has induced his Majesty to order the departure of two frigates, which are new tasking of Tunis and Tripoli, for the protection of French camera." PETERSBUROH, Maacn b. It appears from the arrangements that are making at the Turkish embassy, that the abode of our 14fussulman guest will be prolonged beyond the time originally fixed. It is believed that this mission wiil hare important results for the future policy of the two empires, and that probably it will become an epoch in the annals of their history. It is said that our Monarch, in his high wisdom, is thinking of giving the Porte all possible fa cilities for paying the debt contracted on his part by the treaty of Adrianople; however, we are disposed to believe that this generosity will not make him pass the limits.pretcribed by the interests of his, empire and his subjects. Reports are ►till circulated here about an interview between se veral great potentates, in order to discuss some questions of a high political nature. It is believed that these questions will be connected with the interior affairs of several countries which now appear to be rather in a bad condition, and to claim the whole solicitude of the august personages whose duty it is to ensure the tranquillity and prosperity of nations. Several distinguished officers of our military navy have received orders to go to different parts of the Black Sea. It is pretended that the state of our fleet requires many essential ameliorations, in order that it may be put on a respectable footing, and adapted to the part it is to play in the southern seas of Europe. It is said that the government intends to establish a nautical school in one of the ports of the Black Sea, where foreigners will be admitted, especially Greeks and Italians, who are to be trained for the Russian service.—Constittsiionnel. Some persons pretended this morning that a note sent from Eng. land rendered the expedition against Algiers very doubtful. The Duke of Wellington ws. to offer his mediation, and obtain suaclent satisfaction front the Dey. We can give no credit to this news; our Ministers arc panting for glory,—they must acquire some at any cost or expense. Even the influence of the Duke of Wellington himself cannot bear up against such considerations. The expedition will therefore take place, and even against wind and tide. The re. monstrance* of the diplomatical corps will not be more listened to than those of our Admirals.—Le Globe. (EXTRACT OF A COMkERCIAL LETTER.) LEGHORN, Fzs. i 6. " Yesterday the Tuscan government announced ofEcislly to the commerce of our town, that, acceording to a convention between England, France, Austria, Russia, and Prussia, different measures are to be taken for the destruction of the three Barbary states of Tripoli, Tunis, and Algiers, and that the Sublime Porte consents to their incorporation with the possessions of the Padua of Egypt. The empire of Morocco would therefore be the only remaining power of the same kind, and we may at last expect so see the navi gation of the Mediterranean rid of all the apprehensions with which it has hitherto been encumbered.^.—L• Temp. WALI.ACHIA, Waxen 2. New orders have arrived from Petereborgh to accelerate the orga nization of the military fortes of the Principalities. In the pretest situation of those provinces, especially after each a rigorous 1014 (1 ,1 men will not be wanting, and the number requisite will soon be found. One may infer from the celerity of the military organiza tion, that the Russian troops will not remain an long in the Prin cipalities as had been stipulated by the treaty of Adrianople, and their evacuation is attributed to the rsegodations opened at Constan tinople and Petersburgh. Oenerally speaking, our politiciarm give themselves up to consolatory hopes for the fame. They say that the Porte has been taught by the events of last year, that his pros perity depends on his amity with Russia. " In consequence of the treaty of peace, the state of our com merce has much revived since last itettonn. Oter nn.tb..nta flatter themselves especially that they are to sbare•the advantages granted to the Russian commerce by the treaty of Adrianople. A deputa tion ut merchants of Bucharest- Jassy, and Gallant is to set od; in order to °Main this privilege from the Turkish authorities and the Russian Ambassador. It is also asserted, that to revive the coat meta of the Principalities as much as possible, an unlimited liberty will be granted to it 'wall the plows along the Danube.-- vatissal. " The following is from the Augsburg Casette of the 19th last Letters of tit. 4th lost from Ancona, mention the passage of several couriers from London to Greece, with despatches for the agents of the Allied Courts.

It is therefrom presumed, that Count Capatristrim will shortly retire from state affairs, and take aphis relidetsee in Italy." The Nuremberg Correspowina of the 10th inst. stiles, that in the ensuing spring a General Congress will be held at Vises's, to take into consideration the present state of the East, the state of Portugal, that of France. and lastly the definitive settlement of the South American States with respect to Spain.

Antftentique. THE INUNDATION AT VIENNA. Extract of a letter from Vienna, March 10:—µ When I last wrote, a hard frost had set in, and has continued e•er since ; the thermometer constantly at four degrees under freezing. The water in the Danube has sunk seventeen feet, but has left enormous masses of ice lying wherever it had risen. The whole of the Crater and the March Feld is one enormous plain of ice, 'which will pro bably not have disappeared in less than a couple of months. The number of persona that perished in the suburbs is now computed at some hundreds: but the whole population of the March Feld, for which so much apprehension was entertained, is luckily saved. Ali the inhabitants of the numerous villages dispersed over this latgeplain made a precipitate but dale!, retreat to the Dis-arn-Berg, celebrated for the most famous Austrian wine, and to the chain of high grounds to the East. They, however, were obliged to leave their cattle behind, which has all been destroyed--horses, cows, oxen, sheep, pigs, and poultry, not a hoof nor a feather remains ! Many of the villages have been completely tiled; and In Others, but a few houses and the church are standing. As long as the waters were' up, you have no conception of the distress that reigned through the suburbs. Here was a vast mass of population suddenly deprived of the commonest necessaries of life, and, strange to relate, amid the turbid waves that rolled around their dwellingi, they suffered most front thirst. As the boats passed up and down the streets, conveying supplies to the more favoured houses, they were as sailed on every side with entreaties for water--' Wager 1 was. see ! wit brennen von thirst !' The difficulty of supplying so large a district was, of course, extreme ; and many families are said to have passed forty-eight hours without food. As soon as the flood had subsided, the spectacle presented by the slimy streets, and drenched habitations, was truly calamitous.— In many of the court-yards, men, women, children. and beasts, corpse and carcase, were lying promiscuously ; the latter were dragged off as quickly as possible, while the former were wrapped up in pieces of matting, and the name tacked to the clothing, when it could be ascertained, with as much decency as the burry and terror of the moment allowed; all the ground-floor win. down and frames were smashed to atoms ; and even the iron gratings, with which they are universally secured, were often broken through, or bulged out, where the desperate prisoners had either attempted or effected their escape. Some of the bodies were found stiff; and clinging to the bats. Several families were discovered drowned in their beds ; father, mother, and children, all in a heap. in looking through the demo lished windoirs, the mortal remains of some unhappy sufferers were to be seen, on an average, in every tenth house, and generally a large hole was to be seen in the ceiling, which the wretched beings had perforated in the last agony of despair, in order to make their way to the fluor above. Nothing, not even a field of battle, could, I think, have exceeded this scene of desolation. Every street seemed to present a different aspect ; walls were washed down, doors stove in, trees rooted up—not a spot could be identified : the streets were choked up with mad, and large legs of wood and timber floated into them by the current, and such of the unfortunate survivors as were sot lamenting over the bodies of their children or other loft relatives, were busied in hauling ou t their soaked beds and damp furnittire to dry in the frosty sun, whose rays were as a•mockery of warmth. But the sight beggars all description ! I can give you no idea of eke calamity. Thanks to the kind hearts of the opulent Vienese, however, the warmth of whose feelings is, I believe, nowhere surpassed, much has already been done to alleviate the distress. A subscription has been opened, to which the emperor instantly contri buted 4,0001. the empress, 1.2001. the four great merean. tile betimes of Arnstein and Eakelea, Oeymullev. Siena, and Rothschild, 3.0001. in equal parts. This collection is still going on briskly, and a very considerable sum will no doubt he the re sult. In addition to this there is sinextensive Lottery set on foot, the prizes in which are valuable articles of luxury, all voluntary contributiens, many of high price ; though the tickets cost but In. each, it fast number have been sold, and the produce of this Lottery, which is to be drawn in a few days. is expected to be large. For the last ten days, there is not a faMily in the town that has not been engaged in rummaging out of every odd comer such old clothing, bedding, and furniture, as they can spare, to send out for the relief of the inafihren ; so that at last, it is hoped many a little household will perhaps be in a more prosperous condition than before they were visited by this direful event. The inhabitants of the March Feld have not yet been enabled to re-enter their villages ; as moon es they return, they will have enough to du with re-building their cottages; as for their little property. with the exception of their fields, all has been carried off, their benefactors are. however, not without hope that sufficient funds will be collected to furnish them again with the live stock. In case you shetild •tuake this gommunicatiiin publie. it May be as well to add, for the satisfaction of their iriends. that two English gentlemen who ate here on the steam. heat speculation, for the nevigation , of the Danube; ire saved, fogs. then with the vessel they are building. As the nature of their I t c . - cupation obliged them to fix on very low ground, close to the biotin ut the main branch of the steamer, great anxiety s•as excited about iheni, especially as all the mills on this part of the Danube were) swept off, with every one of their inhabitants." Ansinitton's examination costinised—Mr. Harnermn rcamh-ed his wife's trinket ism in the prosence of the witness, and found there some letters from Mr. Bruhe, and she a miniature picture of him. In answer to questions by Lord WYNFOND, she stated that Mr. Harnerton had mumbled the trinket came alone before he de. sired her to attend, and had taken out but one letter, as he told het. Lord WYNFORD--He might then have put letters and por traits into the ease as well as have taken them out. It would be desirable to have betteievidence of the adultery than letters taken from that box. A noble and learned lord (Eldon) who sat long on the woolsack, expensed considerable doubt whether letters from the adulterer or the Waitress ought to be received in evidence at all. Some letters of Lady Ellenberough had been recetved, however, the other day, and, thevefore, he would receive there letters In the mean. time What effect they ought to have would be a question after wards to be considered. The postmasteriiCheltenharn knew Mrs. Hanseeton and Mi. Bushe when they resided at Cheltenham in 1828 t Mrs. liameron used to all at the post.office for letter* addressed to Mts. Oodol. phin ; he identified some letters 'therm to him as having been deli. vexed to Mrs. Hamerton, although addressed to Mrs. Godolphin.-- In answer to a question by Lord Wynford, he amid only say that he delivered some letters to Mrs. Itamerton which were ad dressed to Mrs. Godolphin, but whether these were the litters he could net William Pitt proved that the letters were in the handwriting of 31r. Mahe, althmigh Lord Wynfmd doubted whether on this evi. derive they ought to be received. atoOther servant -plaid of Mrs. Mathews, at whose Mors the Ponies were accustomed to meet, stated that *hen they were there together she had orders from 31m. Mathews to admit no other vi altua; 31ts. Ihmeiton and 31r. Bushe used to be to/ether by themselves In a Teem in the house for a neasidetable time. The witness mentioned some appearances 14oni which she inferred the fact of the adultery. 31r. Bushe gave her money, sometimes ten, sometimes seven, and sometimes five shillings. He was the oily visitor who gave her money. Examined by Lord ‘V YNFORD:— Mrs. Mailiews was not here ; she was a Color el's widow ; she was accustomed to allow the parties to remain together in the room with the blinds down ; she did not say to Mrs. Mathews that it was discreditable to her to allow such things at her house. Lord IVVNFOHD: No, no; the ten, the seven, and the five shillings quleted'your conscience on that subject. A person, who, In 1820 or 1827, attended as a waiter at the house of a Colonel Crowder, at Cheltenham, when he had a party, among whom were 31rs. Ilamerton'lnd Mr. Bushc, stated, that after the party broke up, he saw Mrs. Hamerton and Mr. Bustle kissing each other. The lady at the time must have seen the witness, but the gentleman could not see him. Lord WYNFORD The wee must be carried • great deal far ther before this Bill can be passed. The further peuceedings must I be adjourned for the present. COPUBOW LAW RZPORT.

EAST-INDIA HOUSE. Yesterday the Quarterly General Court of East Ineia Proprietsn was held for the purpose of declaring a Dividend upon the Company's Stock, and for the general dispatch of business, Joux Lout, EN. in the Chair. The minutes of the last Court were then read. Papers were laid before the Court relative to envenoms anti sto pemonuations. The CHAIRMAN said that since the last Court the House. et Parliament had appointed a Committee to inquire into the t eq. India affairs. lie could assure the Proprietors that the Court ui Directon would closely watch the p proceedings of the Committee, and every care would be taken of thei r (the Propriettatal interests. The evidence given before the Committee was then laid upon the table. Copts& ItiaxerieLD wished that copies of theevidenee should be given to the Proprietors. The CHAIRMAN said that a certain 'number of copies would be printed for that purpose. Captain Maximus asked if there was iny alteration contem plated in the rate of freightage charged by the Company upon vessels pining between England and Ms ? Ile was quite sore that the present high rate was a loss instead of a benefit to the Company. If the freightage were lowered, he was sure it would la i : rt el er aimropon of the public to support the renewal the Ear India The Cuatamax said, that no alteration had m yet mien place in the rate of freightage ; but the subject was one which the Court of Directors had under their meat serious conaideratioa. lioalteration could take place, however, until they were in want drew ships. Captain Idasirrs rt.n laid be 'restated, then, that it was the determination of the Court of I/hectors to reduce the rate of freightage. After a few words from Mr. Tatum°. who Olijeeted to the Court being pledged upon such a subject, the conversation dropped .
