FLANDERS MAIL.

OSTEND, Nov. 22.—For three days, great anxiety was
entertained here respecting the fate of three mails from
England, which have been expected in port since last
Wednesday evening. The storms which have prevailed
along the coast of Ostend, as well as along the English
shores, occasioned their detention, and all three arrived
together the evening before last.
BRUSSELS, Nov. 22.—T0-day, at noon, the deputa-
tion of the Chambers had the honour of presenting to
the King the address adopted yesterday by the Assembly,
in reply to the speech from the throne. His Majesty
afterwards left Brussels for Ardennes, attended by M.
Con way.

CON3TANTINOPLE, NOV. 3.—THE CHOLERA.—AS yet
the cholera has not made much progress. Several cases,
indeed, are reported, but only three or four have been
confirmed. It is impassible to give an accurate account
either of the number of cases or of deaths, for in mat-
ters of this kind the greatest disorder and irregularity
prevails here. That the pestilence has not spread, may
be mainly attributed to the early setting in of the winter,
which has checked the predisposition to disease which
manifested itself a few weeks ago. The disease has
this summer re-appeared in Persia, as we have already
stated. It prevails now in Khoi and Saurns, as well as
Zingnien, Shiraz, Bendertushier, and Tzerbeidshaw.
It is likewise said to be in Ispahan, and great apprehen-
sions are entertained of it in Teheran. The heat is said
to have been unusually great this summer in Persia, but
the harvest was fine. During the night of the 6th Sep-
tember, at about a quarter before one, there was a severe
shock of an earthquake, which lasted eight seconds.
At the fire of the barracks at Scutari several soldiers
have lost their lives ; the damage is estimated at from
five to eight million piastres. It is not known how the
fire originated ; it is t,enerally supposed to be from care-
lessness, though many persons affirm that it was the
work of an incendiary. That all the guards slept is
more than probable. A very rigorous investigation is
being made, and several supreme officers are said to
have been called upon to give account ; two generals, a
major. and a colonel have become mad in consequence,
and they will probably remain so till the investigation is
over and the matter forgotten. A company has been
formed here to effect a speedy conveyance between
Stamboul and Adrianople ; a few weeks since
the elegant carriages which the company had
received from Paris began running. But a heavy rain
had fallen, and at the second or third time the carriage
remained sticking fast in the mud. The trifling fact bad
been overlookea that, in order to ride in comfort in
Turkey, it is indispensable not merely to have elegant
European carriages, but good European roads.
BERLIN, Nov. 19.—PAPAL BULL—A bull of Pius
VII , entitled, "De ,Salute Animarum," which regulated
the Roman Catholic affairs in Russia, established (in
concert with the Government, which at that time in-
serted it in the Bulletin de lois), that the dotation of
the Catholic clergy in Russia should be raised from the
forest belonging to the States. This promise has not
hitherto been fulfilled, notwithstanding the solicitations
of Pope. Gregory VII. The present Pope has brought
the question forward again. He has addressed a pressing
demand to the Prussian Cabinet on the subject, and the
Prinee Archbishop of Breslau has been charged to con-
duct this affair as Pontifical Commissioner. It is
thought that the King of Prussia is unfavourable to the
demand of the Pope.
BERLIN, Nov. 19.—POLISH TRIALS.—Nearly all the
counsel who had come to Berlin for the purpose of de-
fending the accused Poles have left our capital, where
their presence is no longer needed. Many strangers
also have left, although all are looking forward to the
expiration of the next fortnight with the greatest pos-
sible interest; the sentences will then be passed upon
which the fate and happiness of many will depend.
