'AMBURGH and FLANDERS MAIL.

BRUSSELS, SEPT. 14.—Tue prices of corn have again
risen, according to the official statement of the last week.
This rise coincides with that which has occurred in Eng-
land and in France ; but unhappily our priers are still
higher than in France or England. Bread is dearer
with us than in these two great neighbouring states, our
rivals in industry. These facts claim the attention of our
Government.
What especially requires all its attention, and merit its
most earnest solicitude, is the state of our poorer classes
during the approaching winter. After the honourable
mention which Sir Robert Peel made of our foresight in
counteracting the scarcity of potatoes last winter, we
should be sorry to be surpassed this year by other coun-
tries. Yet we do not hear of any measures being taken.
or even projected. Because the crop of potatoes is
saved, it would be a great error to believe
that we shall have no great scarcity to struggle with.
Undoubtedly there will be a great difference between the
price of that vegetable in 1846, and that of last year,
but will there not be in the approaching winter much
fewer resources for the indigent classes ? Will not the
temperature of the season itself cause those classes to
suffer the greatest privations ? We should be surprised
if the Government did not hasten to think on these im-
portant points. We know that in France the Ministe:s
have taken precautions against a possible scarcity, and
we are aware of what the English Government has
thought fit to do for Ireland.
The Duke of Saxe Coburg and the Princess Clemen-
tine, his consort, and their children, arrived on Saturday
at Brussels, from Paris, on their way to Germany, for
which place they will set out in a few days.--Brussels
papers.
BRUSSELS, SEPT. I.s.—The average price of wheat
during the week, ending on Saturday, the 12th of Sep-
tember, was, 25f. 83c., and that of rye, 18f. 52e. per
hectolitre. On the first reports which were circulated
of the re-appearance of disease in the potatoes, the Ad-
ministration took measures to collect, in all the pro-
vinces, information, to ascertain the real condition of
that plant. It results from the reports which the Ad-
ministration has received, that the disease appeared ;in
fact, to a large extent in the country. Its symptoms are
similar to those which it offered in 1845, but it has
hitherto been less intense, and it seems to spread with
great rapidity. The disease having appeared five or six
weeks later than last year, the forward species have for
the most part escaped the disease, because their maturity
was hastened under the influence of the almost con-
stantly high temperature which we have enjoyed this
summer. In many localities the forward potatoes have
been got in, and the farmers speak with much satisfac-
tion of the crops which they have obtained. The price
of potatoes continues to fall in the Brussels market.
Yesterday at five o'clock, the Prince of Salerno, bro-
ther of the Queen of the French, and the Princess, his
consort, arrived by a special train at the southern station,
with a numerous suite. In the evening there was a
grand dinner at the royal palace on occasion of the
arrival of the Duke of Saxe Cobourg, the Princess Cle-
mentine, and the Prince of Salerno. The Prince of
Salerno merely passes through Belgium on his way to
Germany.
It seems that the high prices of eggs and butter are
attributed in a great measure to the extraordinary quan-
tities sent to England. At Brussels fresh butter is double
the usual price.
SALZBUROU, SEPT. 10.—On the evening of the sth
her Majesty, the Queen's mother, arrived here, and
alighted at the hotel of the Archduke Charles, where she
intends to remain four days; on the day following the
Archduchess Sophia also arrived, and put up at the newly
arranged beautiful hotel, the Leopoldskrone, and on the
7th continued her journey to Ischal. On the afternoon
of the same day the Duke of Parma, the Archduchess
Maria, who arrived and returned yesterday forenoon tc
Ischal. In the evening her Majesty, the Empress mother
accompanied by the Archduchess Hildegunde, of Mo-
dena, who had arrived a few hours previously, left our
city for Berechtsgaden, where their Majesties the King
and Queen of Bavaria had arrived on the preceding day.
CRACOW, SEPT. 1. —For the last fortnight we have
been in a state of extraordinary uneasiness and suspense.
The military measures in the city are much more vigo-
rous, and patrols, with cannot., are sent out during the
night. In the villages there is greater vigilance than
ever. Detachments of light horse traverse the country
in all directions ; the village patrols, consisting of pea-
sants, who have a form of their own, have orders to
stop everybody who is not personally known to them ;
if any one is guilty of negligence while on duty, he is
liable to a fine of two rix-dollars and corporal punish-
ment. A notice of the police forbids all conversation on
politics, threatening fires, arrest and corporal punish-
ment. Everybody is therefore obliged to draw his own
conclusion as to the cause of such a measure. Land-
owners arrive here daily from Gallicia, and those from
the republic hasten to the city, impelled by an undefined
fear. Wends is still imprisoned in Kider, and is to be
executed in Warsaw. Various reports are in circula-
tion respecting Tyssowski. The Preshient-of the Cora
mission, who is an Austrian, decides once in a week on
the visits to the prisoners by their relatives, who with
great difficulty get permission to see their friends. Only
a quarter of an hour is allowed fur the visit, and an
Austrian secretary is always present.
COPENHAGEN, SEPT. B.—Ao::ounts brought by ships
from the manufacturing town of Nystadt, in Finland,
state that during a dreadful thunder-storm a building
was struck by lightning, in consequence of which 94
houses, with their dependencies, were reduced to ashes.
The accounts of damage done by thunderstorms in all
the northern i rovinces are very considerable.
FROM THE ELBE, SEPT. 2.—We are able to announce,
from an authentic source, that according to communi-
cations made to the Cabinet of Copenhagen by M. Von
Ewers, Russian Char d'Affaires in Denmark, the
" letters parent " have met with a more than favourable
reception in St. Petereourgh. Russia fully approves the
step taken by the King, as it is not only calculated to a
solution and removal of existing doubts, but likewis
furnishes means to raise a barrier against the agitation
by which even the well disposed had been carried away,
and to bring back the parties to a right course. How far
these expectations have hitherto been fulfilled, and whe-
ther the issuing of the letters patent is really
conformable to the principles of prudent policy, we may
perhaps form a more correct judgment at this moment.
than it was possible to do at St. Petersburgh some weeks
ago.
COPENHAGEN, SEPT. 11.—On the Bth of this month
his Majesty convoked the Provincial Assemblies of
North Jutland and Schleswig-Holstein, for the 21st of
October next, and has appointed the Coancillor of State
and Deputy to the Chambers, M. Bang, as Commissioner
in the first assembly, and Mr . Chamberlain Scheel, Pre-
sident of the Govermenta of Schleswig-Holstein, as Com-
missioners in the latter assembly.
PETERSBURGH, SEPT. s.—The departure of their Im-
perial Highnesses the Crown Prince and Princess of
Wurtenburg is fixed for Wednesday next. The Duke of
Leuchtenburg left us last week. Our latest journals
announce his passing throuirh Moscow and Tambow. It
is thought that his Royal Highness is going to make a
second tour to inspect our mines in the Ural and Altar.
The energetic representations lately made by our Go
vernment to Turkey against affording secret assistance
to the Circassian mountaineers, appear not to have had
the desired results.

LUBECK, SEPT. 13.—The St. Petersburgh steamer
Naslednik, which arrived this morning at Travemande,
brings word that Count Rantzan, the Danish Ambassa-
dor at St. Petersburgh. has applied to the King of Den-
mark for leave to retire from his post. Ills Countess
arrived by the same vessel.
Bnzsi.s.u, SEPT. 9.—A pious wealthy Jewish banker,
named Altharas, from Marseilles, passed through this
place yesterday, being sent by Sir Moses Moutefiore to
Russia, to obtain leave from the Emperor for the emi-
gration of a certain number of Jews to Algiers, which
the Emperor is said to hare promised to Sir Moses. It
is reported that the traveller has many important letters
of recommendation to the Prince of Warsaw, and that
it depends much on the Prince to support his views with
the Emperor. He is endeavouring here to find a jour-
neyman acquainted with the Polish and French lan-
guages, to accompany him as his interpreter on the
journey.—Hamburgh papers, Sept. 13.
