AUSTRIA AND PRUSSIA•

We find the following in the Moniteur :—" A
letter from Jersey says—" Several refugees, dis-
couraged by.the want of success of the attempts of
their chiefs to disturb the repose of France, have
addressed themselves to the Lieutenant-Governor
of the Island, in order to obtain from the English,
Government gratuitous passages for themselves and families to the United States.' "
According to a letter from Berlin, in the Eman-
cipation of Brussels, the letter recently sent by the
King of Prussia to the Emperor of the French ,
no political character, but simply expressed his
thanks for certain works of art forwarded to h)-g
Majesty.

BELGIUM.
The Belgian Moniteu7• contains the following
notice :

" Commercial men are informed that instructions have
been addressed to the judicial, maritime, and milit3r9'
authorities, warning them that no privateers under ail'
flag, or provided with commissions or letters of marque,'
of any kind whatever, either alone or in company with any
vessels they may have captured, will be admitted into our
ports, except driven in by stress of weather. These autho-
rities are in consequence charged in the latter case to keep 9*
strict watch over such privateers and their prizes, and to
force them to put to sea as soon as possible. It has bee
prescribed to the same authorities not to admit as of legal
value any commission or letter of marque delivered by,.
the belligerent Powers, without the authorisation °I
the Government and the Kin.% Any persons subject
to the laws of the kingdom, who shall fit out privateers,
or take any part in them, will therefore expose them-
selves, on the one hand, to be treated as pirates abroad,
and, on the other hand, to be prosecuted before the
Belgian tribunals with all the rigour of the laws."

OF THE EUROPA.
LIVERPOOL, MONDAY, MAY 1, 130 A.m.--Br
the steamer Europa we have advices from New.
York to the 19th ult. She has brought 89 Pas'
sengers and $618,491 in specie.
The Europa passed the steamer Asia, from Liver-.
pool, for New York, at midnight on the 19th, and
at six a.m. on the 30th passed the Canada, for
Boston. From Washington we learn that the
Gadsen Treaty Bill had been thrown out by the
Senate, but the treaty was afterwards reconsidered.
New York, Boston, and Philadelphia had been.
visited with very heavy snowstorms, and violent
gales of wind. A large emigrant ship, full of pas-
sengers went ashore at Barnegst, and
all on board
perished. The packet-ship Underwriter, for Liver-
pool, went ashore on Squam-beach, but was ex-
pected to be got off. Two other packet-ships, names
unknown, were reported ashore, belonging to Neer
York. .

A better feeling prevailed in the New York
stock-market, and most descriptions of wares ad-
vanced in price. No change in the money-market.
Foreign exchange firmer. Bills on London, 1091
to 1091 ; Paris, 5.14 to 5.121.
The cotton market was dull, and prices declined
cent. per pound.
Wheat, flour, and Indian corn were in good de"
mand
Provisions in good demand, but without altera-
tioFnrienigphrtisceto.
London without change.

_HE GREAT B RITAIN. —LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY EVEN". ING.—The steamship Great Britain, Captain John Gray, which left this port yesterday, has put back to-day, in
consequence of one of her steam-pipes having burst ; the
casualty does not appear to have been attended with any
serious circumstances and she will proceed on her
voyage immediately upon the damage being repaired.
DEPARTURE OP THE AMERICAN MAILS.—LIVERPOOL,
SATURDAY.—At noon to-day the British and North.
American royal mail steam-ship Canada, Captain James';
Stone, sailed from the Mersey, for Boston and Halifax,
with the usual mails for the United States and British
possessions in North America, 130 passengers, and 3
large cargo of general merchandise on freight.
THE PORTLAND.—We hear from an eye-witness that
the Portland's men turned over to the St. George, 120,
Captain Eyrev with the utmost good will—not a inur
mur was heard• ' the men felt the hardship, butadmitted...
the necessity. The address of the captain was laconic ii
the extreme. It ran as follows :—" My men, the u, f-
gency of the service requires that you should go on.
board the St. George. You have done your duty in-
this ship, and I only hope you will serve the captain of
your new ship with as much satisfaction as you have
served in the Portland—pipe down." In a few minutes
the watches were mustered, and with their bags were
off from the Portland and along the St. George, their gun-
nery lieutenant following them, having been appointed
gunnery lieutenant to the St. George. We must not,
however, forbear to mention one circumstance connected
with this transfer, and we do it that it may serve as a.
warning to other commanders. Before quitting the
Portland the men asked permission of to take
with them their mess-kids, the bands of which were
brightly polished copper hoops. The --- refused ;
but when the men had left—and it was a few minutes
only after the careless, hasty, and unreflecting refusal
had been given--all that remained of the mess-kids in
the Portland was the stores !--Myrnin2 Her4l4

The Oesterreichische Correspondenz considers the
arrival of the Duke of Cambridge as an agreeable
proof of the friendship which exists between the_
two Courts, and expresses an opinion that the Po,',.
has been convinced that the maintenance of that
friendship is sincerely wished for at Vienna.
It is rumoured at Vienna that the Austro-Prue"
sian treaty has not yet been ratified and aPPre;
hensions are expressed lest the Russian party
cler
Berlin should get the upper hand, and persute
the King to refuse to sign the treaty after TA.
Emperor of Austria has done so.
Baron Hess, it is said, will return to Berlin tiLiB
week.

From Berlin (Sunday) we learn that Barbi;
Manteuffel, in his speech at the closing of
~.A
Chamber, said that the credit voted had enabled
the Government to proceed in the course which it
1;
had hitherto pursued. In perfect unity with
Austria, and in unison with the Western Powers,
the King would direct all his endeavours to restore
peace, and to obtain security for the future. ;4
Another communication from Berlin says 11);11
not the fact that the Austro-Prussian treaty v";
be presented to the Germanic Diet, in order
procure their accession to it. It will be /aid before
the different Governments individually, becalried
before provoking a discussion upon it, it wow
have been necessary to insure unanimity.

FRANCE.
The Moniteur, in alluding to the loss of the
Caiman steamer in the Red Sea, which has already
been mentioned, says :
aid
The vessel touched on a bank which in not 10
down in my chart, and in spite of every effort of tut
officers and crew, and the active assistance of sever:
English steamers sent by the Governor of Aden, e,
could not be got off. All the crew, the provisions, guns'
ammunition, and a great part of the stores, were saved;
The Caiman was an old vessel, as well as her :machine'
We read in the Moniteur :—" As we azinouneed
yesterday, the Russian troops have evacuaLted Lies"
ser Wallachia. Several journals represent this re'
trograde movement as dictated by a desiro of trail'
quillising Austria, by removing the scene of 11,(4;
tilities from her frontiers. Those who, imakills
that the Austrian Government would see in this
measure a reason for modifying its polioir, forg!'o
that the incident in question changes no thing,le
the state of things, and gives no satisfactic ,n to the
Cabinet of Vienna. The last documents .in
it took part particularly the last protocol of the
Conference demand the evacuation not of a saw'
portion of Wallachia, but of the two Danubiso
provinces, and of all the points of the Ottoman
territory occupied by the Russians. It is not solely
to guarantee the security of her frontiers that Aug"
tria has united in the views of the Western Powers;
she has also wished to co-operate in the mainten-
ance of the general balance of power and all the
great interests connected with it. Austria will
not therefore content herself with the evacuation.
of Lesser Wallachia, and it is, we doubt not, in
this sense that the Cabinet of Vienna has replied
to the communications which have been made to it
on this subject by the Russian Government."
MA.RSEILLES, April 29.—Marshal St. Arnaud has
embarked on board the Berthollet ; a salute is
firing, and the wind is fair. The Marshal would
not wait for the Chaptel, which requires repairs.
Four thousand French troops have reached Con-
stantinople.
A letter from Tunis states that some English
agents had arrived in that country from Malta in
Government steamer to purchase horses for the
army. The Consul of England at once applied to
the Tunisian Government to allow a certain num-
ber of horses from its cavalry to be sold to Eng-
land. This favour was conceded, and veterinary
surgeons had taken their departure for Biserte to
make a selection.
