PRUSSIA.

THORN (PRIJAAIAN POLAND), Dec. W. I
The late 11b141111,111 adopted by our government is
elegise the frontiers has not only placed ns, bat the
ismitatents of Hessian Poland, in the greatest
dilemma; and this is most severely felt by the,
c:sev.s. The whole of the frontier from
,o Thorn, a distance of 36 German or 176'
1,,,,eh miles, is hermetically closed, with the single
excretion of the frontier station of Pieentrala, where
tie pest is permitted to enter the lines. Lugs per-
ct's of rods of all di4criutions are lying about in
a2e open ant, as the warthquers are all fell, and they
steumula,e every day by fresh arrivals from distant
perm sent yff before the intelligence had been re-
ceived. Oar Chamber of Commerce has therefore
been induced to get up a petition to the
grit Onv,rnor at Konigsberg, praying for
s modifies! ion of the measure, and wt.
gest ing that the traeernimion of goods and tra-
vellers—the latter without their carriages and hones
—should be henceforth permitted not only at
Piresenta, bat also at the frontier (thrice, Leibitseb,
and the export of goods and the import of wheat be
permitted, by allowing the packages to be brooght
by the inhabitants on one side, and deposited ea the
bridge (the frontier being formed by •river), whinge
they may be fetched by the people on the other aide.
The Governor has undertaken to forward the peti-
tion Ito the Miniskr of the Interior and Couraeree,
at Berlin, and support the prayer of the petitioners.
It is further proposed that travellers, es well es all
persons employed in opening and re-peeking the
goods, shall be subject to the usual process of did,-
fection, to which nobody would object, es the lea is
only 6 grcechen (6d. sterling) per head.

assertion is, that the slave landed and claimed his
