AUSTRIA.

Georgey's surrender was known at Comorn on the
18th ult., and a written summons was sent to the gar-
iaon, either to follow his example or to send in their
terms of capitulation.
The answer given on the 19th was as follows :
" We must reply to the summons of the General of
Brigade, V. Liebler, by stating that no official commu-
nication as to the position of affairs near the Lower
Danube and in the Banat had reached us, and until we
know what has taken place there General V. Liebler
will see that we cannot, without incurring the charge of
treachery to the fatherland, consent to treat.
" In the name of the Council of War,
KLAPLA."

On the 20th the Austrians advanced along the
right bank of the Danube, and the parley was con-
tinued between the garrison and an Austrian and
a Russian staff officer. The result of this was that it
was agreed to suspend hostilities for a fortnight.
The Wiener Zeitung states, on the authority of a
letter of the 25th from Semlin, that Kossuth, Bern,
and Dembinski were at Alt Orsova, under the pro-
tection of the Pasha (Bey) there.
An article in the Wiener Zeitung declares that
Venice, as a free port, has always been an emporium
for smugglers, who thence inuedated the Lombardo-
Venetian kingdom with foreign manufactures. The
article bodes no good to Venice.
VIENNA, Ana. 30.—The negotiations relative to
the surrender of Comorn have been without any de-
finite result up to this time. One party in the
garrison obstinately refuse to surrender, while a great
part have left the fortress and laid down their
arms at Gran. Should a regular siege be
decided upon, the Danube would be closed
to commerce, which would occasion very considerable
loss. On the other hand, it is reported that the gar-
rison has requested permission to quit the fortress, and
obtain passports to foreign countries.
The Prussian Staats Anzeiger, of the 2d September,
says—", Reports from Comorn state, that Prince Paul
Esterhazy has been seen on the left bank of the
Danube, in the neighbourhood of Nagy Sarlo, with
some superior Russian officers, and that he had given
the inhabitants of that neighbourhood hopes of a
speedy termination of hostilities. So much is cer-
tain, that the arrival of 20,000 Russians has been
-announced at Neutra, and that preparations have been
made for their reception."
PESTH, AUG. 28.—Field-Marshal General Haynau
arrived here last night.
Kossuth, Dembinski, Messaros, &c., on their arrival
in Turkey, were stopped at Adakele to perform quar-
rantine. The Pasha, on being informed of this,
ordered them to be set at liberty, and provided car•
riages for them to proceed to Constantinople.
The Wiener Zeitung states that Bem has reached
Turkey.

- WEST INDIA and PACIFIC MAILS.
SOUTHAMPTON, TUESDAY MORNING.—The Royal
Mail steam ship, Dee, Captain Allen, has just arrived
here with the usual West India and Pacific mails, in
charge of Lieutenant Davies, R N., AdrOalty agent.
The Dee has experienced fresh head-winds during
her run from St. Thomas.
She brings on freight 964,951 dollars, of which
600,000 are in gold dust from California.
We have voluminous accounts and correspondence
by this arrival from all parts of the West Indies,
Pacific, California, Spanish Main, &c.
From Grey Town (Mosquito) we learn that the
town of Nicaragua had been destroyed by the rebel
chief Somosa, who had also been to the port of San
Carlos and carried off the arms and ammunition. It
was rumoured Somosa intended to attack the British
settlement of San Juan, Nicaragua, but was pre-
vented by want of boats.
The insurrection in the interior prevented the usual
arrivals of cochineal for shipment
At Carthagena the population had been seriously
thinned by the cholera; but at the Dee's departure
the disease was sensibly abating.
Provisions were very scarce.
Our advices from Jamaica are to the 7th ultimo,
inclusive.
'fne heat was very great, and several cases of sick-
ness had occurred, dysentery being very prevalent.
The elections continued favourable to the popular
cause of retrenchment.
There were favourable prospects for the 1850 crop.
Business was very depressed, and the import mar-
ket inundated with immense supplies. Sugar was
still scarce, and quoted 16s. to 20s. per 100 lb. Rum
dull.

Exchange-60 days, 1 per cent. premium ; 30
days, lf per cent. premium ; merchant bills, 90 days,
par ; exchange on New York, 4 per cent. premium ;
American gold, 4 per cent. premium ; Spanish gold,
2 per cent.

From I 3 irbadoes we learn that the sugar crop was
nearly wnufactureil, and would exceed 33,000 tons,
generally of superior quality. The weather was so
seasonable, and such a spread of canes had been planted,
that a crop of 40,000 tons was expected in 1850.
The population was quiet, orderly, and industri-
ous, and the island perfectly healthy, a favourable
contrast, says a correspondent, with the present
position of Demerara and Jamaica. In Trinidad,
up to the fiqi of August, the weather was very
favourable, and the crops would amount to 28,000
Logsheads. The crop of 1850 would scarcely equal
the present year on account of many estates having
been abandoned.
Grenada was healthy; exports would a trifle exceed
5,000 hogheads.
ProTects for the next crop good.
In St. Vincent, up to the Bth of August, the crop
W3'S much retarded by the prevailing sickness. Many
estates were back ward, and it was doubted if some
would he able to reap their crops.
The crop of the Danish island of St. Croix had
fallen very short from excessive drought, and the
pro:pects for next crop were very bad.
W e have accounts from San Francisco up to the
2d of July, the latest yet re2eived from California,
and at that time everythin; was quiet in Upper
California ; thst water in the mountain streams bad
subsided, and the difficulties whieff had previously
existed in the collection of gold were in a great
measure disappearing. It was estimated that the
mines would this year produce 25,000,000 dollars,
provided that oadinary health and quiet continued.
From Panama we are informed that the Isthmus
will' be free to the transit of all nations on and after
the Ist of January.
Vessels from American ports were obliged to per-
form a quarantine of eight diys at Chagres • there
were 114 vessels of all flags lying at the different
ports on the coast of California, most of them without
crews.

Seamen's wages were 150 dolls. per month.
Freight from Panama and San Francisco 50 dolls.
per ton ; passaze, 400 dolls. The Dee performed a
quarantine of five days at Port Royal, in consequence
of having communicated with Carthagena.
The West Indian squadron was generally healthy,
but amongst the troops in Jamaica dysentery had
appeared, which it was feared was the precursor of
cholera.
In Demerara business was very dull and the wea-
ther extremely unfavourable. The constant rains
have almost wholly destroyed the crop, endangering
also those of next year.
The accounts from Hayti are of a very distressing
character, President Soulouque having ordered many
ci his superior officers to be shot ; amongst others
GexerelSimilien. After these revolting and sangui-
nary measures, the British and American Consuls
came forward and protested against so wanton a
sacrifice of human life, and succeeded in saving seven-
teen unfortunate persons from destruction.
REVIEW OF MARKETS.
(From De Cordovies Mercantile intelligencer.)
The general depression of every interest throughout
the island has marked the Isasiness of the fortnight pre-
ceeding the August holidays with increased dullness.
There has been very little activity, and the immense
supplies which shippers have so madly sent on. are assist-
ing to keep the market in a state of miserable stagnation.
The arrivals of butter within the last few weeks have
ben ridiculously superfluous, so much so, indeed, that
we fear much of it will have either to be sent back again
or thrown into the sea. Our means are so reduced at
this moment, that unless importations are regulated on
the most prudent scale they must result in loss. We
have endeavoured for some time past to impress this
fact on the minds of merchants abroad, but with little
effect. We, however, reiterate the caution, because we
conceive it to be our duty to do so, and the result wil'
show, as experience has already shown, that we do not
advice without reason.
Brandy is abundant at our last quotations.
Corn--Sales of New Orleans yellow have been made
at 3s per bushel.
Flour—The stock is not heavy, but the price has not
gone over 32s per barrel, at which figure a cargo from
Georgetown, consisting of 700 barrels and 150 half
barrels has been sold.
Freights are very dull, the little 'produce that there
was being all shipped.
Logwood was in active demand at 44s per ton, to fill
up the first August vessels, as sugar, coffee,
not to be had.&c., were
Meal—The price continues at 15s per barrel in small
quantities. The stock is large. For 200 barrels George-
town, just arrived, 14s were offered and refused.
Pimento is worth 24d to 3d per lb.
Rice—Bengal is in fair supply, and limited sales have
been made at 14s to 14, 6d per 1001bs; Carolina is held
at 19s per ICOlbs.
Rum is very dull, and has been sold at 2 s per gallon,
proof 21. A lot of a very favourite brand has been taken
at 2s 4d per gallon, and 3d per bead.
Sugar—There is none at market. The article is very
saleable at 163 to 20s.
Tobacco—Sales of 5 bales leaf have been made at 60s
per 100Ibs.
