HAMBURCH AND DUTCH MAILS.
KONIGSBURG, DEC. 23.—We learn that a few days
ago an address from the elders of the merchants of this
,city was sent to Berlin, i❑ which, in reference to the
news of the entire incorporation of the kingdom of
Poland with the empire of Russia, the disadvantages are
pointed out which would arise from this supposed event
to the commerce of the province of Prussia. His Ma-
jesty is at the same time requested to secure to the pro-
, viner!, by diplomatic negotiations, the connexion which
it his hitherto enjoyed pith Poland.
BERLIN, DEC. 30.—A few days ago the Earl of
Westmorland, the British ambassador, presented to his
Royal Highness Prince Waldemar, of Prussia, in the
name of her Majesty Queen Victoria, with the usual
ceremonies, the insignia of the Order of the Bath. I❑
the sittings of the councils of State several subjects of
general importance to the whole kingdom have been
lately discussed.
VILNNA, DEC. 2.5..—A deputation of our merchants
requested some days ago an audience of his Excellency
Baron Kubelt, to present a memorial in favour of the
union of Cracow with the Austrian system of customs,
and of refusing the demand of Prussia. The deputation
was received by Counsellor Von Luccan, the President
being engaged. The next day, the deputation returning
to speak to Baron Kubek, M. Von Luccan observed
that t.ieir affair was of so urgent a nature as not to suffor
any further delay, and that the memorial must be pre-
sented immediately if any attention was to be paid to it
in the difficult negotiation with Prussia. On which, the
deputation, of course, presented their memorial and re-
tired. without seeing the President. It seems certain
that Cracow will be united, with some mcdification, on
the Austrian system of customs.

HAMBURG, DEC. 31, P.M.
(From the Office of the licunbuf g Telegraph )
The drifting of the ice at Cuxhaven is sometimes very
ncon.siderable, the Hamburg brig Apollo having cleared,
get into the harbour in the evening. The Swedish brig
Enterprise was compelled to stay four days in the qua-
rantine harbour. Here above no important change has
taken. place in the state of the ice, The frost continues;
the ice is thicker, and the harbour can no longer be
kept open by the barges. The Elbe is still very unsafe
near the Devil's bridge, the passage with horses 'and
sledges, &c., through the Reiherstieg cannot yet be ven•
tured all the way to Hamburgh.
ST. PETERSBUGII, DEC. 20.—The harvert in the Rus-
sian territory has, on the whole, yielded but an indif-
ferent crop. The seed began to spring up early in the
springy: in the warm weather, which continued to May,
when. it began to grow cool in the northern and central
governments, and in the south continued tains set in.
The crops were checked in their growth in the former
provinces, when at the end of May the winter and sum-
mer corn began to shoot, the rain had a favourable in-
fluence ; subsequently, the insect did much damage, all
cultivated plants, such as fruit, vines, nuts, cucumbers,
&c., have this year produced in great Aundance.—

TES HAGUE, Jex. 4.—According to accounts received
yesterday from St. Petersburgh, dated 20th December,
crush lumps may be imported into Russia, in the next

florina ; the receipts for merchandise, carriages, horses,

By the last overland mail, we have received accounts
from Java, which state that account had been received
from the Government Comissioner for the Affairs of
Bali, who had arrived on the 25th of September, on
board his Majesty's frigate Ceres,iiti the road of Behleng,
from which it appears, that since the departure of cur
troops, the sentiments of the Princes of Behleng and
Karang Assam had been less .
friend The contracts
with Behleng and Karang Assam had, however, been
exchanged on the 12th of October. The health of the
garrison at Behleng was unfavourable.

very prejudicial to the trade with Germany, and that in
conseql ence the commission for the navigation of the

DORT, JAN. 4.—The river is covered from bank to
bank with floating ice, which sometimes collects, but is
