The Congress of Vienna will, it is thought, not

,pd Emperor of ItusstA will, it is said, he present

highest importance." The presence of the Emperor
of ruesiA would imply that these " important"

Notice is lliken in the French Papers of an
icei,jew. which .hefel the ship Camillus, on the
English coast, near the town of Hainsgate. This
vessel had sailed from the Helder, in company with
two others, for RIO Janeiro, and had on hoard 119
colonists, who were to form the settlement, in the
Brazils, of New Fribourg. The ship struck on a
bank, and would probably have perished, with all
an board, were it not. for the prompt assistance
they derived from the, people of Itamsgale.
me gratitude of M. GACHET, Consul from Swit-
zerlau4 to the Botzils, is expressed to the inhabi-
two of Ramsgate, for the •, noble zeal" with which
the people of that town of every class lavished suc-
cour upon the passengers and crew of the Camillus.

Tne foreign exchanges and the prices of bullion
begin to attract much attention, on accniint of the
ocir approsv is of the time when the Bunk must re-
sume bullion payments in bars of gold, at the rule
of V. Is. per oz. standard fineness. For several
months Portugal gold in coin, and standard gold.
have remaintd at the Mint price of 31. 17s. 10311.
Yesterday a considerable advance took place in
bother). Gold of standard fineness rose from
3/. 17a. 10iil. to 31. 18s. fiil. Doubloon., which
are of infertor gold, rose from 3/. 14s. to 31. Isa.
per os. Silver advanced id. per oz. There has
been • general fall in the foreign exchanges, and
little probability of their becoming more favourable.
These circumstances, it is reported, have acre.
stoned a great sensation amongst the Bank Di-
rectors.

Letters have been received from Mogedore, dated
the 28th of September, which mention, that the
plague which had been for some time in the vici-
nity, had at length broken out in that town. We
ere happy to odd, however, that the deaths at that
period were only three or four each day, and that it
was then confined to the Moors, none of the Chris-
tians or Jews having f.illen victims to the pesti-
lence. The weather being extremely cold, greet
hopes were entertained that the further progress of
the disease would speedily be put a atop to, when
trade, which was then at a stand, would renew its
wonted activity. The whole population of Nloge-
dore is between 10 and 12,000 persons, by far the
greeter part of whom consider it contrary to their
religious tenets to use any precaution to prevent
their taking the infection, and in the event of their
having it, would not for the some reason have re-
course to any means to counteract it.

CALCLTTA, MAY 12..—Although the tranquil-
lity of Ceylon still continues undisturbed by ally
open acts of rebellion, the accounts from that
quarter are of such a nature as can scarcely autho-
rise an entire confidence in the present state of the
country. An inclination appears to have been ma-
nifested by the noodhist priests to afford shelter to
the late Pretender, who is represented as a wan-
derer, at the date of the last accounts, in Wellesse
and Lower ()urea. The conduct of some other in-
dividuals had likewise aplivared suspicious it, the
eyes of the Government, which had succeeded in
securing the ‘tersons of some, and taken measures
for the apprehension of others. Among the former
were the Waonia, or Mudianse, of Numere, another
rebel of the name of KATLIAEL, and some others of
interior note. In a late excursion to Kurrukpoor-
hills, in the neighbourhood of Mongeer, Colonel
FRANKLIN. who has already thrown considerable
light on Oriental antiquities, by his indefatigable
labours in tracing the situation of the imeient city
of Pshbothra, is said to have discovered a Colossal
Jeyn statue in the immediate neighbourhood of the
modem city Jeynnagbur, situated at the distance of
about nine miles to the south-west of Souvujgurgb,
a place well known to those who have frequented
that part of the Ganges flowing between the towns
of Bat and Mongeer. The remains of this vener-
able city, we believe, were first noticed by an
officer belongiug to the Invalid Establishment of
Mongeer.

The Lord Suffield hap arrived from Bengal, from
%%hence she sailed in the beginning of May. and
has brought accounts from thence to the gth of that
month. Slit touched at Batavia, and conveys in-
formation of considerable importance in a commer-
-4151 point of view. The Dutch Authorities in
"5";'• in con,eluence of advice@ from Europe, had
4ktelmintd to exclude all foreigners from the va-
rious ports of the island, excepting Batavia, and
their hostility seemed particularly directed against
the English. Whether it were inientled as a matter
of favour to certain individualsi or with a view to
soften, in some degree, the severity of this inter-
diction, the accounts do not state. but it is a fact,
that the Government of *lava Iced granted special
licenses, allowing entail) vessels to load at Sours-
bars. or Samatang. It is also mentioned, that
the Dutch traders are exceeding jealous of the ad-
vantages derived by the English from their settle-
ment at Singapore. British manufactured goods
of all kinds were in great abundance, and the
Wine. of course, proportionately low. Some Sr.
ticks were selling eves; at a loss of 50 per cent.
Satuilar accounts of the little demand for article,
exported from this country are brought from Ben-
gal. The following extract from a commercial let-
ter was posted at LLOYD. last morning :
