Russia. By virtus of this convention prepayment
will be per►nitted in both countries. The postal
charges both for Tatters al:d journals from one country
to the other are considerably reduced. The treaty
will come into force on the Ist of January, 1841.
HAISIBURGII, DEC. 25.—The frost has now set in
in good earnest, and there is a good deal of floating
ice. The weather is intensely cold. Provisions from
Harburgh are brought over in sledges.
The state of our money market is unchanged, and
very little was done in foreign securities.
Accounts from Stettin, Bremen, Cuxhaven, Gluck-
stadt, &c., say that there are immense quantities of
floating ice, and in some places the rivers are firmly
frozen over.

NAVIGATION OF THE SLESWIG-HOLSTEIN CANAL IN
1847 TO DEC. 22.—Within the last year 4,172 ships
passed through the Sleswig-Holsteen Canal, under
the following flags :—Danish, 2,329 ; Dutch, 681 ;
Hanoverian, 840; Oldenburgh, 109; Prussian, 31 ;
Harnburgh, 35 ; English, 9; Bremen, 14 ; Swedish,
94 ; Russian, 2; French, 12 ; Meiklenburg, 4; Bel-
gian, 2 ; Finland, 10—total, 4,172. During the
same period 29,140 tons of linseed have been trans-
ported by the canal ; for England, 3,890 tons; Hol-
land, 20,143 ; Belgium, 3,305 ; Bremen, 902 ; Altona,
900—total, 29,140.
STETTIN, DEC. 22.—THH CHOLERA.—Letters just
received from Tilsit state that several cases of cholera
have appeared there. The disease has assumed a
mild form. It is to be hoped that the frost which has
since set in may not only prevent its further spread,
but may have already arrested its progress.
The Archduke Stephen is lying ill at Presburg
with the measles.
MUNICH, DEC. 13.—A report is in very general
circulation that it is the intention of his Majesty to
associate with himself in the Government the Crown
Prince as co-Regent. The departure of Prince Wal-
lerstein for Warzburg is said to be in connexion
with this change.—flamburgh Papers, Dec. 24.
