ARRIVAL of PRINCE NAPOLEON.
Prince Napoleon Louis Bonaparte arrived in Eng-
land on the 26th ult., the day after his escape from Ham.
We learn that the Prince has written a letter to Sir R.
Peel, and one to Count St. Aulaire, the French Am-
bassador. We have been favoured with the copy of the
latter, which we offer to our readers :
(Translation.)
" TO MONSIEUR LE COMTE ST. AULAIRE.
" London, May 29, 1846.
" Monsieur le Comte,—l come frankly to declare to
the man who was the friend of my mother, that is
quitting my prison I have not been actuated by any idea
of renewing against the French Government a war which
has been disastrous to me, but only to be enabled to go
to my aged father.
" Previous to my taking this step, I made every effort
to obtain from the French Government the permission
to go to Florence, and I offered every guarantee con-
sistent with my honour. But, finding that all my ap-
Vications had proved unsuccessful, I determined to have
recourse to the lastexpedient, which the Due de Nemours
and the Duc de Guise adopted in similar circumstances,
under Henry IV.
" I beg, Monsieur le Comte, that you will inform the
French Government of my peaceable intentions, and I
hope that such a spontaneous assurance on my part will
shorten the captivity of my friends, who still remain in
pricon. I am, &c.,
(Signed) "NAPOLEON LOUIS BONAPARTE."
To prove that the Prince had done everything that
laid in his power to obtain his liberty by way of ne-
gotiation, we give the copy of a letter he wrote to
Louis Philippe, and the answer he received to it :
(Translation.)
" Fortress of Ham, Jan. 14, 1846.
" Sire,—lt is with the deepest emotion I come to re-
quest of your Majesty, as a great favour, the permission
to quit Franee, were it only for a short time ; I who, for
the last five years, have found in the breathing of the
native air a large compensation to the torments of cap-
tivity. But my infirm and aged father stands in need of
my attentions. To obtain my liberty he has applied to
several persons known to be devoted to your Majesty ;
and I feel it a duty incumbent on myself to do anything
that lies in my power to attain that object.
" The Council of Ministers have deemed it to be
beyond tkeir competence to accede to the request I have
made, of going to Florence, after taking the engagement
of giving my self up again as a prisoner as soon as the Go-
vernment would express that wish, I come, Sire, confi-
dontly to make a call on the feelings of humanity of your
Majesty, and to reiterate my request, which I entrust to
your high and generous interference.
" Your Majesty will, I am confident, appreciate to its
true value a step which binds beforehand my gratitude,
and sensible of the lonely situation, in a foreign land, of
a man who, when on the throne, deserved the esteem of
all Europe, I hope your Majesty will comply with the
wishes of my father and my own.
" I beg your Majesty to accept the expression olltny
deep respect.
" NAPOLEON LOUIS BONAPARTE."
To this letter M. Duchatel, the Minister of the Inte-
rior, answered, " that the request of the Prince could
not be complied with, because, to obtain the royal cle-
mency, it was necessary that the grace should be de-
serve& and avowedly asked for."
Since that time, a great many highly influential per-
sons, both English and French, continued to take steps
for the setting at liberty of the Prince, but to no pur-
pose. It was only when all hopes had vanished, and
that the news concerning the health of his father became
more alarming, that the Prince determined to have re-
course to the only means left.to him.

FLANDERS and HAMBURGH MAIL
COPENHAGEN, MAY 23.—1 t is now positively affirmed
hat his Majesty the King of Sweden will arrive here on
the II th of July. and stay till the 13th of the same
month. It is also expected that the Crown Prince of
Bavaria will pay us a visit.
A singular report has lately been circulated, namely,
that the discussion of the question of the succession in
the Duchies Hill be prohibited, with an intimation that
there is at present uo grounds for such a discussion. It
;s certain, however, that several highly important pro
j4ets of lae: may he expected. But the draft of a penal
code for the Duchies, which has been long in prepara-
tion, will not he brought. forward in theapproaching Diet.
ST. PETERSBURGH, MAY 16 —Among the illustrious
vests exile dtobe p: event at the marriage which is
shortly to t ,lte place is his Royal Higheess Prince Albert,
Consort of Queen Victoria, in return for the visit which the
Emperor paid to the Queen in 1844. Great preparations
are making in Peterhoff and the country seats in the ro-
mantic environs, where the court will pass several
weeks after the marriage of Princess O'ga. Accounts,
which, however, are not yet authenticated, state that
the Cholera has appeared in some parts of Russia, and
especially that it has prevailed for some seeks past in
the government of Cranburg, where it must probably
have been introduced by the caravans.
WARSAW, MAY 18.—The disarming of the kingdom
of Poland has lately been carried to much greater ex-
tent ; not only fire-arms, and what are properly ca'led
arms and weapons, are confiscated, but all instruments
which way he used for cutting and striking, and only
those are allowed which are necessary for the exercise
of some trade or profession. In private houses only or-
dinary table knives and forks ate permitted ; but all
carving andViiichen knives are prohibited. The butchers,
who use only large knives and hatchets, are obliged to
declare the number of them to the police, and to have
them stamped. The confectiorers, after long petitioning,
have at length obtained permission to have a machine,
which they use for cutting bonbons, and the like.
FRONTIERS OF GALICIA, MAY 20.—Accerding to
accounts received to-day from Tarnow, the famous
chief of the peasants, Szelo, (he is 72 years of age),
was at length arrested on the 15th of this month, after
having been for fourteen days under the surveillance of
the police. This has been known to the public here only
within these two days. The peasants in the country
are said to be much displeased at their lot. The same
time we learn that his son, who lived at Pilzno, and
wrote the orders to the peasants, in his father's name,
is also arrested. The work, in what are called Rebetb
days, is, indeed, performed by the peasants for the
Nobles, but the peasants utter the most awful threats
against the Nobles, some of whom, in the circle of Wa-
doweil. do not require any such service.
SILESIA, MAY 23.—An event has lately taken place
in the circle of Nimpt, which resembles what sometimes
happens among the Irish peasantry. A landowner, who
is said to be rather strict in asserting his right, has a
field of very fine rapeseed. In one night the whole was
cut down; the loss is said to he several thousand pounds.
—Hamburgh papers, 29th May.
BRUSSELS, MAY 28.—The Senate is convoked for
Thursday, the 4th of June.
At the opening of the sitting of the Chamber of
Representatives to-day, some observations were made
relative to the social matters to be put in the orders of
the day, viz., to the free importations of provisions, to
the Mint, and to the convention with France. The
Chamber then continued the debate en the project of
law respecting the canal of Deynze.
We find from the Journal de la Haye, that the King
of the Netherlands has left that capital for Wiemar,
before the last arrangements relative to our commercial
differences were finally settled.
The English Minister at Brussels gave a grand dinner
in honour of the birthday of her Majesty Queen Victoria.
All the members of the diplomatic body, except the
Swedish Minister, were present, and all the members of
the cabinet. His Majesty's household was represented
by Lieut. General Count d'Havre de Steenhue se, and M.
Van Prael, his Majesty's Secretary. After dinner there
was a grand rec. ptien from the diplomatic body, the
ministers, and all the persons of distinction presented.
The facade of the Hotel of the British Legation was
illuminated.
BRUSSELS, MAY 29.—The Chamber of Representatives
continued to-day the debate on the project of law relative
to the canal from Drynze to Schipdonk.
The King has given audience to-day to a great num-
ber of persons.
The Russian brig, Saina, Captain Leffiey, which left
Antwerp on the 215 t of this month, in ballast, had put in
at four o'clock in the afternoon, and was at anchor in
the road of Turneuse. On the 22d at eleven at night,
the captain, who was in bed, was thrown against the
deck by an explosion which caused him to receive some
bruises. The men had placed a quantity of gunpowder
(supposed to be about 12 lbs.), under his bed, to which
they contrived to apply a match. Happily the powder
was not placed precisely under the place where the
captain slept, so that he happily escaped with some
alight contusions on his arms and legs, and was thrown,
without any other accident, against the roof of his
cabin. The Russian Consul will investigate the
matter. Some persons are arrested. Another crew
will be engaged, and in a fesi days the Saima will sail
In the cabin everything is broken to pieces by the ex-
, plosion.—Brussels paper, May 30.

DEPARTURE OF THE GREAT WESTERN.—On Satur-
day afternoon, the steam-ship, Great Western, sailed from
Liverpool for New York, crammed with passengers, besides a
very heavy cargo.
