FLANDERS AND DUTCH MAIL

ANTWERP, APRIL I.—Nothing precise has yet trans-
pired respecting the Ministerial crisis. Everything
continues to pass is the shade. It is said that the
efforts of one or two interested persons to form a Mi-
nistry are greatly discouraged.
ANTWERP, APRIL 2.—Petitions to the King not to
dismiss his Ministers continue to be signed in mar .y
places. Some days ago a solution appeared so immi-
nent that the petitioning relaxed all at once ; and it
was proposed at Malines to send a petition, which was
not agreed to, because it was thought it would come too
late. Now that the general expectation has not been
fulfilled, petitions begin to flow in again.
It is remarkable that petitions in favour of the Mi-
nistry are sent from places, the representatives of which
are the most determined opponents of the Ministry, viz.
MM. Des Theux de Burdinne, Deschemps de Decker,
&c. &c.

Th'e Messager de Gand says that the Municipal
Council meets to. day to consider of an address to the
King, petitioning him to dissolve the Chambers.—
Journal du Commerce d'Anvers, 2d and 3d of April.
BRUSSELS, APRIL 2.—Yesterdey evening there was
a brilliant entertainment at Lord Montagu's, at which
the Foreign Ambassadors, several Ministers, persons
of the King's Household, Civil and Military Officers,
and persons of distinction, as well as a great number of
English and other foreigners were present. Brussels,
April 2.

TURKISH FRONTIERS, MARCH 18.—A letter from
Constantinople says :—" However well merited the dis-
tinguished recompense bestowed on Reschid Pacha
may be, there are people who believe that it is a preli-
minary step to his dismissal, and, as it were, an indem-
nification fOr it. Rifaat Bey is already spoken of as his
probable successor, but there is at present no certainty
in all these reports, though it cannot he denied that
Reschid has many adversaries in the Seraglio; and espe-
cially meets with great opposition through the Sultan's
favourite, Riza Pacha. The Porte has not yet come
to any resolution respecting the alterations to be made
in the firman investing Mehemet Ali with the Paellalic
of Egypt, but the .conciliatory proposals of the two
great German Powers appear to be favourably lis-
tened to.

Syria is far from tranquil, and it may be difficult for
the Porte to restore order in that country. The Drusew,
in particular, are said to refuse obedience to the new
Governor, and to demand the recal of the Emir
Beschir.

The Candiotes seem to have become sensible to the
advantage of employing peaceable representations rather
than arms. It is said that they presented to the Govern-
ment an energetic petition for the same rights as are
enjoyed by the Samiotes.

Two English and one Austrian wen•of--war left Mar-
moiizza for Candia on the premature report of an in-
surrection in that island.

TIIE HAGUE, iNlAncii 30.—The King and Queen
and their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princes
returned yesterday :row Rotterdam.
The Second Chamber of the States General has com-
menced on the petitions of the projects of law on the
personal tax.

His Majesty has lately signed a decree, the object of
which is to place the army on the peace establishment,
and to organize the several branches of the service
accordingly, and with the express intention of reduc-
ing, as far as possible for the present, the expenses of
the Treasury.
AMSTERDAM, APRIL 2.—We understand that his
Majesty's visit to the capital is deferred till after Easter.
MONS, MARCH 27.—The movement of the ice seems
to be ended, only a few small flakes now and then pass
down the river. But, on the other hand, the river had
rise❑ this morning to the alarming height of 18 feet 4
inches. It then fell two inches, and remained stationary
for five hours, but during the last hour it has risen, we
regret to say, one inch. The Peyel is now 18 feet 3
incl:ee. In the Alederung the water continues to rise,
and danger increases. According to a report that har.
just been received the Vistula has made a breach in
the dyke at the village of Schonellen, nine miles below
Mons.

SOUTII-EASTERN RAILWAY.—The works of
this Railway are proceeding with active progression. It
is
expected that by the commencement of May the works
belonging to the Shakspeare Tunnel farthest from the
sea will be finished ; after whic:u- it is expected the works
at Abkit's Cliff Tunnel will be pursu.td with activity.
The Sea-wall between the two tunnels is a splendid piece
f work, and does infinite credit to Mr. Balcomb, who, un-
der the contractor, Mr. Lambert, of Brighton, superin_ tends the works. Some fresh work (including a tunnel,
we believe, half a mile in length) has teen set out at
Newing cen; and we have reason to believe that every
energy consistent vtith the interests of the shareholders
be in operation, under the direction of the Board of
Directors, and its talented and gentlemanly engineer at
this port, John Wright, Esq. :Some hundreds of men arc
employed between Dover and Folkestone on the works
who, together with brickmakers and others, must be :the
means of supplying the necessi ties of very many families,
as well as of giving an impetus to trade in this diArici.—
