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.
Bnussr.i.s, 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.
Conway.

CONSTANTINOPLE, 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 impossible 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 tho 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
hays lost their lives ; the damage is estimated at from
five to eight million piastres. It is not known how the
fire originated ; it is generally 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 superior officers are said to
have been called upon to give an account ; two generals,
a major.and acolonel have been suspended inconsequence,
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 had
been overlooked 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 A'alute 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 VIL The present Pope has brought
the question forward again. Re 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.

BRAZIL MAIL.

RIO DE JANEIRO, OCT. 1, 1847.--REVIEW OF THE
MARKETS FROM 1 7TH TO 30TH SEPT. - Business has
been very restriced as regards imports. The sales of
Coffee have been to a fair extent, and the transactions
in exchange have been considerable. _ _

IMPORTS.—The arrivals with merchandise consist of
vessels with assorted cargoes:-5 coals ; 3 dry goods ;
1 flour; 2 flour and dry goods ; 4 flour and sundries ;
2 hides ; 1 surnter and sundries ; 4 salt; 4 wine and
sundries.

ExroaTs.—Coffee—After the arrival of the packet the
market began to give way, and prices declined 100 a 150
reis. and at reduced quotations some important transac-
tions occurred. The total sales of the month may be
estimated at about 140,000 bags.
HlDES.—Arrived: 7,600 Rio Grande; 5,400 River Plate

sorts, and of the stock 54,000 Rio Grande, 50,000

bability- that her Majesty and the Court will leave Osborne
before the last week in December. The extensive architec-
tural ornaments, and the planting of many thousand trees,
which have been delayed until now, that they may have the
benefit of royal supervision, will alone occupy a fortnight or
three weeks.
