DUTCH PAPERS,

FRONTIERS 05' POLAND, JUNE 18.—The death bf
Field-Marshal Diebitsch has mad-;, as appears from several
accounts, a deep impression even on the Poles. They con
filed i n

have said to detract from

him, the better part of the Polish nation, and especially
the army, highly esteemed and admired his unvarying
considerate hc.„-Aanity, during a war which might easily
have incite,!., h less humane commander to cruel acts of ven—
geance, ilis death is, therefore, considered in Poland it-
self as an unfortunate event.
BERLIN, JUNE 19.—Accounts from Poland say that
the cholera is again spreading in Lomze, and a country
seat in the neighbourhood has been taken for an hospital.
The disorder has now also appeared at Degbin, in the
province of Plock ; where, up to the 4th, ninety persons
had died of it. It is also at Kolo, on the high road from
Warsaw to Siuyze. In Warsaw itself there were only
twenty-six new cases from the 7th to the 12th, and only
nineteen patients remaining in the city hospital at La
Bagatelle.

ST. PETERSBURGII, JUNE 1 1 ..-.ln consequence oP, the
appearance of the cholera at Riga, all necessar-, precall.
tions have been taken to prevent the spreading of the
disorder, avoiding as much as possible te
;throw obstacles
in the way of commerce. As the greater part of the
public are convinced that the cho'.,ta is not
the means of goods, and th:at it propagated by
happily attacks only a
part of the inhabitants '.,r a place, and requires peculiar
treatment, the measr.,,ces adopted will doubtless attain the
end of the Gove7.no,ent, which is to prevent alarm.
Prince R:.(21 Scherbatow, Privy Councillor, Chamber-
lain, 8.5., who passed the greater part of his life in the
D'foiic service, died on the 2d inst. at the age of 70.
Bors-LE-Dtic, JUNE 21.—Letters from the Prussian
frontiers, of the 19th, say, that since the 14th several
families, who had fled from Antwerp, had arrived at Aix-
la-Chapelle.

At Liege outward tranquillity again prevailed. How-
ever, as many French tri-coloured flags had been made
there as there are steeples and public edifices.
In the province of Limburg the formation of the
Burgher Guard does not succeed. By order of the Go-
vernor residing at Hasselt, M. Van Pelzer, Burgomaster
of Vels, summoned the men to choose officers and subal-
terns. He waited till the evening, but could get together
only eight persona of the lowest class.
At Maestricht every thing remained on the same foot-
ing as before; the Prussian troops cantoned in these parts
were constantly in readiness to march.

DISAPPEARANCE OF MR. MATHEWS.

(LATENT PARTICULARS.)

After the examination of William Davis, the Waterman,
on Monday afternoon, at Queen-square police office, the
contables of the A division were actively employed in en-
d.avouring to discover some trace of Mr. Mathews, and in
the course of the day some further evidence was procured,
which was immediately communicated to Mr. GREGORIE,
the Magistrate, in consequence of which directions were
given to all parties to be in attendance at nine o'clock yes-
terday morning, when Davis was Nought up from Cold-
bath-fields, and placed at the bar before Mr. GREGORIE.
The first witness examined was a shopman to Mr. Do-
bree, pawnbroker at Charing-cross, who produced a frock
coat, which he said was pledged on the 16th inst. at his
master's shop by the prisoner.
A tailor stated that he had made the coat produced for
:Mr. Mathews.

The prisoner, on being questioned by Mr. GREGOR'S,
said that Mr. Mathews had given him the coat as well as
the white hat when he parted from him, but he still per-
sisted that he knew nothing about where he had gone to.
Mr. GREGORIE said that it was the intention of the
friends of Mr. Mathews to have the river dragged in every
part, and asked the prisoner whether he could give them
any directions on that point.
The prisoner replied that they would not find him in
the river Thames. In answer to further questions, the
prisoner said that in the course of conversation with Mr.
Mathews in the boat he talked a great deal about going to
sea, and he thought it very likely he had gone aboard a ship.
Mr. GREGORIE observed that the prisoner appeared to
be very unwilling to divulge any thing respecting Mr.
Mathews ; if, however, the body was not found, he should
discharge him.
The prisoner again declared that be had divulged all
be knew ; they would never find the body in the river
Thames, and were more likely to find it, if it was in the
water, nearer to the shores of America.
Mr. GRIEGORIE then ordered the prisoner to be re-
mu. ded.

Dwring the whole of yesterday a number of persons were
employed dragging the river, as a strong suspicion exists
that Mr. Mathews has been drowned. Up to a late hour
no body was found, and the whole affair is involved in
.more mystery than ever.
