FLANDERS AND DUTCH MAILS. BausseLs, APRIL 15.—W hen his Majesty the Kiag of England pays his intended visit to his Hanoverian dominions, he will go by the way of Calais and Brussels. The Russian Vice-Consul at Antwerp has just informed' the Merchants, that by an Ukase of his Majesty, the Emperor, dated the 26th February, IVA,. the Port . of Sebastopol has been declared fvee for all merchantmen coming from the Rus- SiOJl ports in the Black Sea and on - the Sea of St. Asoph, laden with Russian and foreign mercban dize. The goods must have undergone the exa mination' . of . the Quarantine Establishments in these places, and have complied with the forma lities required by tag Custom-houses relative to the impert duties. If we may credit the reports in circulation, says the Augsburg Guzette, the Prince' of Ca rignon, has been arrested by some Piedmontese soldiers ; joist as he was going to enter the . Mi lamese territnry. ' AUGSBURG, .. I LPRIL 6.—The Revolution which has just broke 'out in Moldavia and Wallachia ilas assumed so very serious a chariCter that Russia-and Austria have determined to take such precautionary measures as circumstances require. It -seems that those Powers will content them selves iv ith assembling 'troops to observe what will be the issue of an insurrection, which seems to have been long in preparation. The Divan is in consternation at these events, for it will .find great difficulty in collecting a sufficient force to act against the rebels, since the Turkish army, acting against Ali Pacha, has not yet succeeded in subduing that rebel., A Courier, who arrived at Rome on the 29th from Naples, brought from the Mole of Gaeta a paper signed by, several. Austrian Officers, which. is conceived in these terms. According to orders received from Naples, General Bgant has given up the fortress of Gaeta. He has behaved like a brave General. We have drunk with him the health of his Sicilian Majesty, and also the health of the General. LAUSANNE, APRIL G.—A tumult•of the most alarming nature has just broken out at Bonne ville, the capital of 17aucigny, from the impiu dence of the military corinnandant, who attempted , to oblige the soldiers, absent on furlough to re join their regiments, and the recruits to repair to . the depots. The report which had been spread of the speedy arrival of a body of Austrian troops passing the Simplon, and to which the Swiss were to give leave to pass, had much contributed to excite dissatisfaction. The Confederation has not - yet decided any thing respecting the cordon of neutrality, though at all events prudence demands tlia . t our frontiers be protected. lIANOVER, APRIL 7.—His Excellency Count Munster has officially announced, that the King - will visit his kingdom of Hanover at the end of July or the beginning of August. The Royal Authorities yesterday received the necessary in ,structions for the reception of his Majesty and suite. The King's route has been entirely changed, His Majesty will embark at Dover, landat Calais , and then proceed to Brussels and •to Frankfort-on,theWitine. The King will pay a visit to y his two august sisters, her Royal Hi g h ness .the: -I.,andgravine of Hesse Homburg and her Majesty the_QUeen Dowager 9f Wurtem .. berg, His Majesty. will then•goto Gottingen, and enter Hanover by the finest part-of hii kingdom. DhiIIASTADT, APRIL 5. 2 ---M. D'Anstell, Rus sian Minister at Frankfort, and also at our Court, .has just delivered, to' the •Grande Duke of Hesse ;Darmstadt a letter` rroin his Majesty the Empe ror Alexander , in; which his Majesty expresses his satisfaCtion at -the , establishment of a Consti tution in our Grand Duchy, and- his approbation of the principleon which it is founded.—( Brus sels Papers, April 17.) - virklNA, APICili s:—His Majesty,the Emperor .A;:strin., fid his*Minister 'Prince Metternich, •not , neglectd;•amidst their important occu pations, to think-. While at Laybach of th.e.idte rests of the Order - of 'Malta, as we perceive by some decrees ; dated from that city; relative to that ancient and respectable Order, ; Among other favours conferred by the Sovereign are the resto ration of the' Palace of the Prior at Venice, and of the Church and its deperidencies ; these build ings being calculated for the abode of the Knights of the' Order, if they should desire, to assemble there: Some particular privileges are also spoken of; which are granted to the Knights, and - which prove that the'Order of Malta may hope one day to recover its ancient splendour. • "Ft is believed that the Revolution in Naples and Piedmont will at least have the good effect of leading to the introduction of a Constitutional GOvernment . in the Italian States. The report of an Italian Congress, at which all the Sove reigns of the Peninsula attend to deliberate ,on the basis of an Italian confederation, on the nitYtel of that of Germany, gains ground daily, and becomes more positive. We have-not yet heard any thing to induce a, belief that the Russian troops, ordered to begin their march, had received - counter orders. .000,1) FAIDAY.-Holitlay . at all the Public Offices: HIGH WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE TO-MORROW.

The itussian. Army in Volhynia will, it is cal- - culated.,. form a junction with the Austrians in Lombardy about the beginning of the next month. - The retirement of Prince HARDENRERG from office is - again spoken of with confidence. A private letter from Turin contains an account of the bloody affair at Novara, between the Con stitutionalists and the Austrians and troops of General LATOUR.. The action was warmly con tested, and lasted several hours ; but in the heat of it, Generals BELLoTz and REGIS went over to the Austrians. The Constitutional Army was put to the rout after an obStinate re sistance, and an Austrian corps is said to have passed the Po at Placentia, to cut off-the retreat of the remains of this army, who were endea vouring to :retire on A lessandria. It is reported that an Austrian corps is to take .possessiotver Genoa, in .. the. name of the King, VICTOR L' AIbIANUEL. • , . . . The Director-General of Police at Naples has published a decree prohibiting, the publiCation.of any newspaper, or printed books, without his previous sanction. Secret societies have been again prohibited by an Ordonnance of the King, and the ancient laws for their suppression have been restored in full vigour. The Provisional Government has also suspended . the forced loan of three millions of ducats. From Rome it appears that the Austrians have established a Commission, called Statularia, which is to proceed to Milan, Modena, and Naples, to try persons accused of State offences. We learn from Madrid, that a canon of Va lencia (Merino) has raised the standard of reli gion and the KING in the province of. Burgos, and is at the head of an armed troop ; and that the Curate VILLORIADO had mustered a large force, consisting of veterans, and upwards of 200 young volunteers, with a like object, in the same quarter. This intelligence had excited a great sensation-at I3urgos. The Commandant instantly dispatched a messenger to Madrid with the account, and requiring- reinforcements, under the apprehension that the Curate Yu.- LoutAno would march upon that city (Burgos) to release the Royalists who are immured in the`orisons, and amongst whorri are some of his personal friends. An extraordinary Meeting of the Cortes was summoned to take the subject into consideration, and measures have been adopted to suppress this formidable insurrection, which has produced indescribable ferment in the Provinces contiguous to that of Eurgos.

The failure of the Bills for the restoration of Popery into our political Constitution must be highly gratifying to every wise and sound friend to that Constitution, and we may presume to hope that it will he long before the Roman Catholics will again make any resoltite efforts to renew their claims to participate in, legislative autho rity. But the question of PAIILIAMENTARY Re- FORM ought not to be dismissed without due at tention, for it has been admitted on all sides, that abuses have prevailed with respect to Parlia tnentary representation. It is obViously in the power of certain persons who, at present possess great Parliamentary interest, to have a considerable in fluence with any AdMinistration, and such infiu- ence must operate in a-Manner injurious to the country, by,preventing the diminution Of 'its bur thens, by the 'continuance of useless plaCes, and , in the disposal of _Situations, -actually necessary ; not according to the nierirof Candidates,- but on' dependents, tools and menials, recorrimended by those who possess Parliamentary interest. ,Look into every Public Office, and this appropriation will be found to be the case to b. great 'extent. So that men of education and talents, who might be use ful servants of the-State, and have actually serv ed it in Naval, Military, and other departments, wanting such recommendation, have no chance of rising, but are left to starve in obscurity, that provi -sion may be made for persons totally unqualified for Government patronage, and wholly - unsvorthy of it. This - abuse - is not entirely the fault of MinisterS, who, of course, must possess a certain degree, of: power fur the necessary business of the State. But it has been laiabY those who have more wit than wis dom, and . morelevity than knowledge, that if the Howse of Commons acts with a due regdrd to the interests of the country, it is a matter of little moment how the Representative Body is constructed. Such an opinion, however, is re- pugnant to sound policy, justice, and morality. It is always proper to have things placed on a right and solid foundation, and nothing . can be more requisite to secure respect to the democrati , cal branch of our legislative system than all possible purity in the mode of electing the Representatives of the People. It is as impossible to defend the ~ . . continuance .or what are styled the ROTTEN BOROUGHS, upon any principles of sound policy, as to justify the universal extension of the elec tive franchise. We hope, therefore, that the queltion of Parliamentary Reform will not be wholly abandoned, but. that it will be re vived, not by a Party, but as arising from the ge neral conviction of all wise and upright States men that a moderate Reform, or in plainer terms, the correction of all corrupt means of electing the Representatives of the People, will add to the_ stability of our unrivalled polifiCal Establislunent, excite the confidence of, the People, and render us more respectable in the estimation of a4l other nations. • CATHO LTC QUESTION.

SHIPWRECKS. DEA> APRIL 16.—Aerived this morning, and sailed for the River Thames, the Lapwing, Captain GENTIL, in twenty seven days from Saint Domingo. On the 2d instant, in lati tude .36. 50. longitude reo. 42. the Lapwing fell in with the schooner Three Brothers; Capt. IV: Hu T curers, ofSt. Andrew's, from_lndiana, bound for Berbice, laden with staves. At the time the Lapwing fell in with. the Three Brothers, the latter was a complete. wreck, and had on board one individual. J. Mun son, whose situation was. one beyond the powers of human description. The account which he has furnished will in souse degree enable you to 'conc eive th e horrors to which he and his fellow-sufferers were exposed. The Three Brothers sailed on the 22d of February, and proceeded smoothly in her course until the 2tl ofillarch, when she experienced a dreadful squall early in the morning. The violence of the stores increased so rapidly, that in less than two hours the water was upon the cabin floor, and shortly afterwards the staunclieons were all carried away. The exertions, of the crew from that time to day-break, on .the following morning, were all that could b e expected from men who had no prospect of life but from the most unwearied labour ; but, alas ! all were useless ; the light, of the Connnon day only served them to dia. cern . their fate, And render death .more terrible. At this awful moment a tremendous- sea burst upon . them, and ere they could utter. a prayer to God, the vessel ' capsized, and was soon filled with water. The Captain, who was at the time endeavouring to right the ship, was washed into the sea, and sunk for ever: The vessel then lay on her beam ends, and her mast and, boWsprit were instantly carried away. There remained from the wreck six persons, one of whom was the Captain's son, a fine youth, whose situation may be easily I conceived. This young m a n survived. until the 23d day, dur ing which the crew were just able to keep life within them by means of some beet-root and bread, half a barrel of flour, •art of a cask of water, which they had been able to keep by Lem ; but, unfortunately, the water got mixed with sea water, and they suffered exceedingly by that circumstance, signs of ulcera tion soon beginning to show themselves. On the 25th of March, ituiit as they were ruminating on their fate, and mourning the loss of the Captain's son and the Mate, Sir. Neil, who had died ' • when, us fact, every; hope had escap e d th em , an d t h e y were looking upon each other with horror, their ch ance o f lif e was revived by the appearance of a brig. As this vessel came near them their hopes increased, and they hailed her as long as their strength .would allow them ; indeed she came so close to. ttlem at one time, that they were fully convinced that they were seen; but they must have been mistaken, for she passed by them without notice, and they were plunged into all the hor rors of despair. It would be any thing but Christian-like to suppose that they - had been discovered by the crew of the brig; for what m a n c o u ld h ave seen an d not re li eve d t h em ? Previ ous to this time all the provisions of the unhappy crew were con sumed ; and such was their state, that they came to the melan choly a g reement to cut, up thebody of Mr. Neil, the mate, part of which they were under the necessity of eating for the pur .pose of prolonging their existence, in the vain hope, as it turned out to all but one, of assistance. On the following day, three more of the little'crew died, and one was washed overboard, leaving only James Munson, who, by an extraordinary provi dence, remained alive until the 2d instant; when the Lapwing fell in with the wreck, and brought him to this place to relate the melancholy catastrophe which befel his suffering companions." The melancholy and heart-rending spectacle of a vessel wrecked upon Whitby Rock, with the greater part of her crew, was recently witnessed by several of the inhabitants of that town. On Saturday week, about one o'clock, the brig Janet, of Lynn, coal laden, came on the rock, and was discovered at day light; having beat up a considerable distance towards the foot of the East cliff. Capt. Manby's apparatus for the pre servation of ship-wrecked seamen was conveyed to that emi nence with all possible expedition, and tried, but without suc cess. The first shot fell short, at the second the rope broke, but, before the preparations could be completed for a third attempt, the vessel went to pieces and put a period to the sufferingi of the unhappy crew. A considerable surf upon the shore ren dered the approach of the cables which went out to their assist ance extremely difficult and dangerous; they succeeded however in rescuing three of the people in a completely exhausted 'state, from the jaws of death ; the remainder, five in number, includ ing the master and mate, perished in the waves. Two men were seen for tome time floating upon separate fragments of the wreck, but before any coble or boat could reach them, they were overwhelthed by the waves, and sunk. to rise no more. MUTINY AND DESTRUCTION OF THE SHIP KATE, OF LONDON. _, The following• are theTarticulars of the mutiny and destruc tion of the British ship Kate, of London, furnished to Captain Jones, of the brig Diligence, from Guadeloupe, referred to in yesterday's Gazette. " The crew (eight in number) of the ship Kate, Captain. -George Purdy, landed about four miles to windward of the Mole, oil the 24th of January, about five o'clock P.m. They slept on the beach that night, and next morning a planter in the neighbourhood came to.them and brought them to his house. A brother Of the said planter went to inform the Commandant of the event. " Their story was agreed "on oath between the, crew ; and they all said they belonged to the Ameriean ship Retrieve, Captain Jacob nawes, belonging to "Me ss r s . S u yd a i n and Wyckoff; merchants, of New York ; that after six weeks boisterous' weather, not being able to keep the ship. free, :she. being very leaky, the Captain had given orders to get .the. t i "boan readiness, and that they were so doing, and getting into the boat about ten o'clock at night, when the Captain's son, about ten years old, fell: overbo ar d in trying to get into the.boat, and that the captain threw hithself into the sea to try.to save him, but they both perished, and the ship wedt down ; that after "being two days and a night in the boa';, they. reached the beach near the Mole, with groat hazard 7of their lives.' • " The Commandant sent militi a d ragoons t o escort t h em to the Mole. They had a breakfast at the plantation, for which Thomas Murdock, calling himself Mate, raid •one dollar :a head. At the Mole they. were kindly treated—the Mate put up at the TaVern, and the rest in the Gaol. They st9pped there six days ; after which, fi ve came to the town of Point Pare,' escorted by an unarmed man. They arrived about five o'clock P. as. at the Point, and the Pitlice and King's Attorney, assisted them to get lodgings for that night. Next day they were interrogated by the Judge and Interpreter, in presence of te King's Attorney ; b u t th e y pers i ste d i n t h e ‘ el same stor . A few days after, three others were brought frc4n-lite' ole, and interrogated in the same m anner , one of whomturned State's evidence, and declared, apparently, the truth. Next day, a French lad, 15 years old, who had told the first story, and did not know the truth had been re vealed, sent word to the King's Attorney that he had a wish to speak to him. He was brought before the Court, and the lad told the real story also. Be, with two others, came from the Mole in three different vessels, at the same time, and di rected to the King's Attorney. They. had with them all their baggage, and a good many dollars in their bap. " A.. Bible was found in their baggage, which the Mate said was given him in Nivi, Vork t by a fellow lodger, about eleven 'months ago. There was printed, as a seal, in an oval form, the following words :_' Presented by the . Merchants' See men Auxiliary Society of the Bible, to the ship rate, of ' London .' dated, ' Gravesend, May 11, 1818 ;, . and in side ,of the binding, was written .in large letters, • ' Ship. Kate.' , . . ". NOIV, the Judge availed himself of this circumstance to interrogate Thomas Murdock, and the rest, e second time. His Honour tells the sworn Interpreter to say to Murdock and the others, as they are called in separately—' There is the Bible belonging to tile ship Kate,_ of London, Captain George Purdy, and upon that very same Bible you swear to tell the truth, and nothing but the truth.' Murdock is very much ernbarlassed; says in broken words that he is not a.ccuatOmed to swear on the Bible, and resists some time when the Judge observes to him ' that he is going, to mention his refusal in the interrogatory; that yesterday he took an oath without difficulty, to tell ' his story,' and that in the New York Custom-house, he would take several oaths, as customary. The Judge added, ' thiit, if he would not answer to the questions he should put to him, he ' Would pronounce him guilty immediately, for to refuse answer ing .the questions of tne Court was declaring himself guilty. Murdock then kissed the Bible, and, since I have takcii an oath said he, on the Bible, I will speak the truth ; and he told the real story, which is in substance :—That ' they belonged to the ship bats, of London, ('apt.. George Purdy, which .ship had been Chartered in August last, at Halifax, by • the house of Ilel_ cher Binney, and Co. f ur a voyage to B erb i ce, and back._ to Halifax.: the ship took a cargo of fish, beef, and some lumber, consigned to the house of Robert - Rite, of Berbice : ' they reach ed Berbiee, where the cargo was sold for cash—the proceeds were put on board in two boxes, iron-hooped, marked Nat. 1 and 2, containing 5,80 dollars. The ship - sailed for Halifax in 'balla s t ; th e mate h a d b een discharged at Berbice, after hav ing had some quarrel with the Captain. Six weeks after sail ing., finding constantly heavy winds, and in want of provisions, the water .nearly consumed, the crew asked the Captain That he intaided to do—the Captain told'. theta he had still some coll'oe, which he would give them for ' their support, and that he would try to get to Bermucla but after 2=l- hours, the winds against them, they tried for Now York, but without success. . Nex morning, at ii o'clock, the Stir January, three of the crew went and seized the Captain, as he leas walking on the deck, and tied him ; then they said that he - and those that lived in, . the cabin, mu s t e ith er j ump over b oar d , or go .in the joli'y-boat alongside. They then - embarked ' the t'aptain, who wished, and asked to go in the cabin for his cloak and boots, but he was not allowed ; he earnestly, requested a contpass ; his lady also went on her knees, and begged for a compass, but-this was refused also. His lady, with their two children, one a boy two years.old,_ the other a: girl . four years old; Mr. Robert Mere-. dith, a passenger; .and a mulatto boy, named IVilliani,' steward in the cabin, were forced' into the boat, with twenty pounds of bread, twa trunks belonging.. to the Captain, and Mr. Alere dith's trunk, and two oars, and .s.2lii achifi. - The crew were. ig norant of their latitude at that time: • i ii i " After ten days' sailing fo r t - West Indies, D esea da i s the first lan,!
