FLANDERS AND DUTCH MAIL

BRUSSELS. DEC. 3.—The Senate is convoked for
Wednesday the 9th inst.
The Earl of Liverpool steamer, from London, had
on board the Marquis of Clanricarde, Ambassador Ex-
traordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of her Bri.
tannic Majesty at the Court of St. Petersburgh.
The Treaty of Commerce concluded between Bel-
gium and the Bey of Tunis, in October, 1839, and
ratified by King Leopold on the 11th of March, 1840,
is now officially published in the ,M'uniteur Beige.
BRUSSELS, DEC. 4.—ln a letter written to us, (the
Courier Belge\ from Vienna, dated the 23d of Novem-
ber, welound the following sentence :
" St. Jean d'Acre fell on the 4th of this month.
Alexandria will fall in six months and Paris in a year."
This prophecy of evil to come is probably only the
echo of the reports which circulate in the capital of
Austria ; but at the rate at which things are going on
in the French Chamber, we fear that after the war of
words which has just commenced, Paris will have more
fine speeches than bastions to oppose to the enemy.
Germany has already a million of soldiers prepared
to receive the attack of the 500,000 French with which
it is threatened by the Journals, and the speakers in
the Chamber, including M. Berryer, who, whatever the
defeated of July may say, has no slight interest in
avenging his defeat at the expense of the new France.
ST. JEAN D'ACRE, Nov. 6.—Whatever reason we
have to rejoice at the success which the combined squad-
rons and the Turkish forces have obtained here, yet
what has been done, is but a shadow of what would in-
fallibly have been accomplished, if our commanders had
shown some energy. At this moment the Egyptian
empire would have been overthrown, the new dynasty
of the Viceroy reduced to its original insignificance, had
not the direction of the military operations been confided
to two of the most sleepy of mortals. Lord Stopford
and Sir Charles Smith, both accustomed to a quiet and
easy life, great admirers of a good table and generous
wine, everywhere dreaming of obstacles and difficulties
that do not exist, have spoiled our campaign,
and deprived us of at least the greater half of our pro-
bable advantages. [The writer goes on at great length
in the same strain, apparently as ignorant of the real
state of affairs, as of the name of the Admiral, whom
he calls, towards the conclusion, Lord Stopford
SMYRNA, Nov. 9.—Letters received yesterday by
land from Aleppo, say that the inhabitants have ex-
pelled the few troops left by Ibrahim, and declared for
the Sultan. The revolt in Aleppo is said to have been
caused by an order of Ibrahim to send 1,500 men, of
the National Guard of that city, to his army.
TAE HAGUE, DEC. 2.—Second Chamber of the
States-General, sitting of the .sth of December.—The
Project of Law for introducing some changes in the
Tariff imports and exports duty was laid before the
Chamber.

Our readers will recollect that by a Royal Reso-
lution of May 29, 1834, inscriptions were opened for a
loan of 2 000,000 of florins, being the first series of the
8,000,000 for the expense of drawing the lake of Haar-
lem. We now hear that his Majesty has resolved that
a second series, to the amount of 3,000,000 shall be
opened.

It is stated that_under the terns Metropolis are com-
prised the 32 districts herein mentioned, which include the
City of London within and without the walls, the City and
Liberties of Westminster, the out parishes within the
bills of mortality—and the parishes •f St. Marylebone ;
St. Pancras ; Kensington ; Fulham ; Hammersmith
(Chapelry) ; St. Luke, Chelsea ; Paddington ; St. Mary,
Stoke Newington ; St. Leonard, Bromley ; St. Mary-le-
hew ; Camberwell ; Greenwich ; St. Nicholas and St.
Paul, Deptford; and Woolwich. The population as enu-
merated in 1831 wai 1,494,890. The weekly average for
1831 was obtained by dividing the deaths registered in that
year by 52. In comparing it with the weekly deaths in
16140, it must be borne in mind that the metropolis in-
creases nearly two per cent. annually ; and that, if the
population had been the same in 1836 as in 1840, the deaths
would have been 1-27th part more numerous.
General Register-office, Dec. 3, 1840.

The Voice Conductors invented by Mr. E.
Solomons, Optician, No. I, Old Jewry, City, and No. 36,
Old Bond-street, have proved eminently efficacious in
some of the most distressing cases of deafness. They are
not as large as a fourpenny-piece, and notwithstanding
their very small construction, no instruments extant have
proved of such advantage to the deaf. From their metallic
vibrating quality, table talk is rendered perfectly audible,
and the wearer is enabled to distinguish the faintest inflec-
tions of a distant speaker in church, theatre, or public
assembly. Mr. E. Solomons' Patent Spectacles arc fa-
superior to all those in modern use ; they extend immedi.
ate and continued relief in all cases of defective vision,
enabling persons to engage their sight for any length of
time, at the most minute employment, either by day or
candle-light, and are thus calculated to preserve vision
unimpaired to extreme old age. No other improvement
has been effected in spectacle lenses for the last twenty
years, and as Mr. S. has secured the exclusive disposal of
them to his establishments by " Royal Letters Pate,.t,'
the public should be guarded against the various attempts
of parties of a similar name to counterfeit the above
invaluable assistants; it is therefore necessary that par
ticular attention should be paid to the Proprietor's address
namely, 1, Old Jewry, City, and 36, Old Bond-street,
Piccadilly.
