FLANDERS MAIL.

BRUSSELS. JAN. 16.—The Directors of the 'toil'
ways have taken measures to secure them against the
inundations. At all the points which are exposed little
dykes have been raised on the sides of the railway.
Yesterday afternoon the Magistrates of Brussel°
caused a dyke to be raised along the canal of Charleroi:
between the Flanders and Ninave gates, that part °
the canal, swollen by the waters of the Senne, threaten'
ing to inundate the lower part of the city.
The Scone continues to rise, and the inundation l°
extraordinary. There is reason to hope, however, that
the river will not rise any more, and that the water°
will have subsided in two or three days. Thanks to the
timely precautions that have been taken, the iron rail'
way is not overflowed as in 1839, and no interruption°
the trains has occurred.
It is not thought the Scheldt is yet free enough from
ice to allow the steam-packets to come up to Antwerp'
Some persons finding no Court Circular in our colume°
have believed that the King was really gone to AP
Jenne, as he intended. This is not the case, but Re
learn that an indisposition, which is happily nearly over,
has obliged his Majesty to keep his room for some daYl'
VIENNA, JAN. 6.—The Constantinople mail of the
23d, which arrived to-day, brings little news. Ibrabit°
Pacha was still at Damascus the 13th of December'
His vanguard, which had taken the caravan-road to
the coast, bad been defeated and driven back at gee:
serich. The situation of the Egyptian army, if the be'u
moralised fragments of it deserve the name, was btv,
coming more critical every day, and it is not impossibl'
that it may be obliged to capitulate, unless Ibrahim r°;
ceives timely information of the submission of 111ebe°/
Ali. The population of Damascus was in a state
great excitement, and some trifling occasion might 0
10
flee to cause an insurrection. Emir Bescher El Kass
was on his march from Zahla against Damascus.
