HAMBURGH and FLANDERS MAIL•

SciiwEnrx, MAY 7.—His Royal Highness the Grand Duke,
accompanied by Baron Vun Sell, set out this morning for
Italy. His Highness will meet his mother at Vienna, and,
after some stay at 111ilan, and on the lake of Como, will
return holi,e through the countries on the Rhine.
HAmnunon, MAY 9.—We understand that the loan for nine
millions of marks, resolved on by the Senate and citizens in
July, last year, has been contracted for by the house of S.
Neine, of this city, and by the houses Schickler Brothers and
E. M. Magnar, in Berlin, under the Dame of Hamburgische
Staats Premium.

AULEIKE, STOCKHOLM, MAY s.—lt is chid that a com-
mercial treaty between Sweden and Norway an the King-
dom of the Netherlands is in contemplation, and Baron
Wahrendorff, his Majesty's Chargé d'Affaires at the Coyirts
both of Belgium and the Netherlands, has gone from Brussels
to the Hague on this account.
COPENHAGEN, MAY 7.—His Royal Highiths the Crown
Prince went yesterday evening on board the Aegir steamer,
and this morning on board the Gesion frigate. At eleven
o'clock this morning the King and suite went in the same
steamer to the frigate, which weighed anchor this afternoon,
and together with the steamer proceeded northward.
COPENHAGEN, MAY 9 —We now learn that the destina-
tion of the Gesion frigate is to cruise for ten months on the
Spanish coast, and to go as far as MaCeira. The King re-
mained on board on the 7th till three o'clock in the after-
noon, when he left it off Vedbeck, and arrived here on board
the Aegir at half-past five o'clock.
RIGA, APRIL 29.—Our merchants are in the greatest
anxiety. Our harbour of Dunamunde is choked up with
sand, by which above 100 ships richly laden are prevented
entering Riga, and a great part of them have already put
back, hoisting a blackllag. This is a dreadful blow Co our-
commerce. 'fh Emperor has assigned a million of roubles
to provide the means for remedying this misfortune.
COPENHAGEN, MAY 7.—The expected visit of the Swedish
Royal Family to our Court, gives our politicians ample mat-
ter for ccnjecture. 'At first, only a visit of the young Duke
of Upland was announced ; afterwards, however, in conse-
quence of special invitation, both the Crown Prince and the
King of Sweden have resolved to pay a visit to our Court.
Now, as the reigning Queen of Sweden, with the Princess
of Sweden, who is 16 years of age, will reside in Scbonen,
hopes are entertained that we may see those august members
of the Royal Family of Sweden at Copenhagen, which of
course, gives full play to political conjectures, in which the
re-marriage of Prince Frederick of Hesse, nearly allied to the
Danish throne, is not to be overlooked. Immediately after
die visit of the Swedish Royal Family their inajesties will
set out for the Duchies, the King will then go for the pur-
pose of sea- bathing to Fohr, and the Queen to Augustunberg.
DRESDEN, 11IAY s.—Our Government has received a no-
tification from B flit!, that it does not seem advisable to re-
sume the conferences at Carlsruhe respecting the Zollverein
till the question of the Corn Bill Tariff in England is de-
cided, and an uhlooked delay has taken place in Parliament,
and the Bill can hardly be voted hi the Upper House before
the end of this monto. The meeting of the Deputies cart
hardly take place before the autumn, e, pecially as a wish has
been generally expressed not to meet, in the heat of the
summer.

that passed the Sound in April, 1846, was—
