Vtatma., Dec. ' , M.—According to accounts from the Turkish frontim, there are still appear. ances of the plague in come parts of Bosnia, Ser. via, and Bulgaraia. In Alohlavia it h a s spr e ,,,i so much, that isi October last frw parts of the onm try were free from it. In November it even thew. id itself at Jafry, the capital; anti as the symp. toms became frequent there, all the Consuls left the city,- and since that time all intercourse with the city is interrupted. In Wallachia they are more fortutinte; that province has not only re mained tree from the plague, hut the harvest has been most abundant. The cordon Which Austria has formed in the Bilekowina towards Moldavia, and which has lately been so witch strengthened, will suffice, we hope, to preserve our frontiers from the infection. MUSSELS, JAW. travellers who have come throtigk,Rogintdy and Champagne say, that the 'image has entirely failed ; but that, in comparison with other parts; corn is plentiful, and has not risen there above 50 per cent, in all Burgundy, where people's minds were so sglrated, the most perfect tranquillity .now prevaill ; people do justice to the Intentions of the King. In Champagne the population are h general witch attached to the Bourbons, In the neighbourhood of Charleville, Givet, and Rocroi, the poverty and distress is vary great. In the towns where there are garrisons of foreign troops tbsbj stricest discipline is observed, but in the open country it ,is not so easy, on account of the coati. wird waist of provisions, for which reason people prefer 9ittling in the towns. Every tiring seems to annonnee .that his Ma« jelly's visit to. Limonite/1 will have A happy Pc -34 for' that country. His Majesty emittired mi nutely, and with the most paternal solicitude, into every particular of the situation of the people. The great number of workmen employed ott the fort 'Gallons >ileearly begin to make a visible pro gress iu them. flevsset.s, JAW:B.—They !Trite from the French frontiers, that a considerable quantity of corn is daily brought to Lille, Arra*, and Cambay, from ticanee, Normandy, and Picardy, and especially from Havre, which is almost all destined for the ni the troops of the Army of Oecnpation. Part of it is laid up in magazines,. from Which, if the scarcity should continue in the spring, the in habitants 31,44) are to b supplied. These Melt'. cures have hatl a salutary eifeet H the pri,c f!f corn in this neighbourhood. Upon the whole the harvest lit Artois and French Flanders has been very good, so that the inhablialei of those two provinces; considering too the money which the foreign troops bring into circulation in the coun try, suffer in a less degree by the circumstances of the times. General Zietiten, the Commander of - the.Prus. sian troops in France, very freqUently visits the different garrisons, in order to see that discipline is strictly observed, and to prevent es far as pos. sible all complaints, and is zealously seconded in this by the Officers of his Staff. Some of the Prussian soldiers who go home on furlough are replaced by others from Treves and Coblentz. ft is affirmed, that in the Sitting of the Second Chaather, on Friday, another proposal will be etude respecting the prohibition of the exports= lion ot corn: They speak of the formation. of a corps of Hal bardeers of 136 men to do duty about the perso H of the King. • BISLEFCSLD, Dec. 28.—Among the orders re. ecived for our celebrated Linen and Damask Ma nufactories, is a very large one lately given f ar King Henry, of Hayti. Among, other things for that Court a quantity at the richest Damask table cloths have been bespoke in one at our princip a l Manufactori es , fu r which King Henry has sent a drawing of his arms, with various de vices, and his remarkable motto, " God, my cause and my Sword." Besides these orders, large purchases have been made in Bremen, and the other Hanseatic cities, for the Queen of Hayti, of services for the table, brilliants, pearls, Itc. which have been paid for in ready money, at high prices.

C'a't, have Dutch Papers to the 12th, and Paris Journals to the tame date. The latter are singtt tat ly barren, and the former do not make amends by bringing us any very interesting political ne►vs. The plague continues its ravages on the Turkish _ . frontlet", Great exertions appear to be made to procure a full supply of Corn for Prance and for the Army which occupies and preserves ,t ha t country. There is a difference in the quotation of the funds in the Pori; Papers, but we do not know whether it is accidental. The Moniteur, Journal de Paris, and , Gazette de France, quote the 5 per cents. at 59 f. 28 c. 69. 20. 59. 10. 49-59. JO.; while the Journal des Debate reduces them front /59. JO. to 57. 95 c. 57.80 c, We are inclined to think that the funds have risen, and that the last Paper is mistaken. If this ka correct, we know nothing but the successful negociation of the London Loan which could have raised the Funds in the face of M. Da SIMKO'S gloomy picture of the intermil wits of the Country "Notwithstanding the powerful example of the Monarch (says he) religion resumes her empire but slowly. Revolutionary doctrines are toss cer tain period disgraced in the public opinion, —but sound doctrines have not yet sufficiently confirmed those wise were inislo,,end fixed the anchor that is to check them ; the Prevotal Courts, a Inca sure of circuctistanee do not present the force that was expected from them ;--extraordi nary tribunals do not take well its France ; and Justice has there lost her flignity. The French Army, re -organised, is faithful, but nut nume rous ;—extreme vigilance must keep out of it risen, who mi g h t try to mislead it, In all the public services the necessity of economising, and politi cal causes, have brought a bout numerous reforms; a great number of individuals are without employ, and ennsequentiy discontented. This discontent, and necessary preferences revive those heated passions which the war carried out of the cnnn. try, and which an iron sceptre kept down within. In fine, two grievous circumstances complicate and embarrass the situation of France in a very afflicting manner. The first is the consequence of the dispositions of the TrOtty of the 20th Nov. The second, the di minution of part of the harvest of -this year by the intemperance of the season. The Allied r rowers have proved,by deeds more than by words, their serious intention to ensure the repose of France, and unite her interest to that of Europe. They had calculated on the abundance, the richness -of the produce of our soil, the revival of commerce, the impulse of our industry, equal to that' which had taken place at the end of 1814. frachhese e alculations.beertrealised, it is certain that it would have been possible, though painful for the French to make head by increase of taxes to an increase Of 300 millions of expenses. Events have de stroyed these calculations. French industry and commerce are in a state of languor and staling. Lion ; her richest produce has entirely failed, anti even the produce of articles of the first necessity is moderate. The care of Government, and above all, the activity of trade, will prevent all scarcity, but will not prevent dearness ; and it is often from indigence that one must demand tribute. In pro. portion as these things deprive Government-of its natural force, in that same.proportion they furnish toed and pretext to injustice end The German . Papers contain s, Docnurnt of considerable importance to the Sicilian Subjects of the King of NAPLIS conferring several va luable rights upon the people of that beautiful island. In our first page are two'-very curious Prod*• mations addressed to the peopie'at Monte Video, by the Portuguese Civil and Military Authorities, on entering that territory. They are the least definite of any documents of the kind Horn which we ever remember to have attempted the task of extracting a meaning. The anomalous state of the South American Provinces may partly seeoun . t for this; and we gather• from the asaurances'of General Lacoa only this much, that It is oo• posed to establish a Provisional Portugneie•Go. vernment in Monts Video. The Proclamation is levelled at the Rebel Chief ARTIGAS, but it is clear that the territory to be taken possession of belongs to the Crown of Spain. We take it far granted that there is a good understanding be tween the Courts of Spain and Portugal, and that these measures art sanctioned by the former. The French Papers mention a report, t4t the King of Portugal is about to retort) to tUrope, and will . reach Lishot. in May. Advices reached town yesterday from Antiglia, which mention that the. ship Hercules, conunand• ed by Bftowis, the Buenos Ayres Adniiral, and detained at Antigua by the Brazen sloop of war, had been condenined there") a charge of a breach in the revenue laws. This vessel, Whose name,. we believe, was changed to the Duke of Palma, bad gold and other valuables on hoard of the esti mated value of 500,000 (Whirs. Admiral Baowir, when taken, was on his way to England with the rich harvest be had gathered since his absence from the river Place, anti is quite indignant at the sentence passed by the Court. He con. shiers the magnitude of the prize, and not an infraction of the Custom•house Laws, to be the real cause of condemnation. Under this ins pression, he intends to appeal against the sen tessce of the British Government and has s ent off ag en t s f ront B altimore to the Governinent of !Buenos Ayres, to make knows? 'the result of the proceedings in .the case of .1140 This measure appeared the more etraordinary, as it was understood, previously to judgment be ing given, that Bilowti no longer identified himself with the Buenos Ayres Government ; hut so soon as the sentence was protnulgated, he not only connected himself with the cause of the Inslependents, but intimated a threat of retalia tion on the part of the Buenos Ayres Govern ment against the British trade.
