PRICE SD.

FLANDERS MAIL.
BRUSSELS, FR. 3.—The average price of wheat in the
week ending Saturday, Jan. 31, was 24f. 82c., and that of
rye 19f. 43c.
The Chamber of Representatives, in its sitting to-day,
adopted, by a majority of 40 to 13, the project of law for con-
tinning in force the law relative to foreigners. It then voted
for the continuance of the law granting bounties on the build-
ing of ships in Belgium. It was agreed to by a majority of
58 to 1.

The Chamber received a petition from M. Deridder, the
engineer, desiring permission to inspect all the documents
relative to the sinking of the tunnel of Cumpitch, and asking
a delay of a month to prepare his justification. The petition
was referred, on the motion of the Minister of Public Works,
to the Petition Committee, with a request :to make a speedy
report.
The enormous difference between the average price of
wheat in France and Belgium (it exceeds 8 francs per hec-
tolitre) can be accounted for only by the fears which have
long existed in our country, by the cries of distress which
have been so long repeated. There is here a moral cause, of
which we still feel the effects.

The King transacted business to• day with the Minister
for Foreign Affairs.
Several districts of Limburg, on the banks of the
Meuse, have sufiired severely by the inundations occa-
sioned by the extraordinary rise of that river. On the
27th and 28th of last month, the inundation had attained
such a height, that the inhabitants of Heppenert and Alde-
neck were obliged to take refuge in the lofts of their houses,
and to go in boats to Maeseyck to obtain provisions. On the
29th the environs of that town were under water, and the inun-
dations had even extended to the road to Maestricht. Similar
siccounts have been received from ether places.
An able Belgian electrician has just discovered that the
electric fluid, which gives the most brilliant light when di-
rected to certain parts of the human body, renders them so
diaphanous that the arteries, veins, and nerves may be
clearly distinguished, and the action of these various organs
studied ; this discovery added to that of the stethoscope will
be very useful in exploring the disturbances in the animal
economy.
AUGSBURG, FEB. 1.-At 5 o'clock this morning we re-
ceived by express, dispatched on the 29th of January, the
important intelligence that the army of the Seikha had
passed the frontier river, and attacked the English army, by
which they have been defeated. The long-expeeted inter-
ference
of the British army in the Punjaub is thus decided.
The house at Trieste, by whose kindness we have re- -
ceived this express, observes, " Unfortunately the Impera-
trice steamer, which brought this important intelligence,
experienced very unfavourable weather, and was '.bliged to
put into Corfu for a supply of coals, so that it arrived here
nearly two days later than it would otherwise have done.
We received indeed this India Mail five or six days sooner
than is usual byway of Marseilles, but we fear that it will
not reach England by Marseilles even if an express is sent--
from Trieste to London."

DUTCH MAIL.

Tali HAGUE, FEB 2.—The anniversary of the birth-
day of her Royal Highness the Princess Frederick of
the Netherlands was observed yesterday in this town,
with the usual ceremonies.

ROTTERDAM, FEB. 2.—We have received the Java
journals from the 15th to the 22d of October last year.
On the 13th, early in the morning, his Excellency the
Governor-General left Batavia, and proceeded to Brei-
tenzong. His Excellency was accompanied to the
boundaries of the district of Batavia by the principal
civil and military authorities, and there received and
complimented by the:AssistiLt Resident of Breitenzong,
and by many native chiefs, who attended the
Governor-General to his palace. On the 21st of
June a piratical pros of Magindanao was at-
tacked and taken by Major Djackti, of Limbottoa,
native officer of the residence of Manado. The pirates
had come with their vessel to this coast, in order to take
in a supply of water; they were, however, soon disco-
vered, and attacked by Major Djacka, with three prows;
and as they would not surrender, they were all killed.
Twenty-one persons whom they had carried off were
found in the captured vessel, in a most deplorable con-
dition, who were thus restored to liberty.
We received from different parts of the kingdom ac-
counts of considerable inundations.

POLISH FRONTIEBS, JAN. 20.—The kingdom of
Poland is to undergo the following alterations i-Ist,
the frontier line between Poland and Russia is to be
effaced in the course of this year. 2d, Between this and
the Ist of January, 1847, all persons in office must
be able to speak the Russian language ; and
every who in this time btu not learned to speak it
well enough to transact the business of his office in Rus-
sian will be dismissed. 3d. The Government intend
entirely to abolish the Viceroyalty of Poland, and to
make the country, under another name, a Russian pro-
vince, and thus to efface all traces of ancient Poland.
As to the political state of Poland, it is chiefly this for
which incessant efforts are made to put down the Roman
Catholic Church, and introduce the Greek in its stead;
for all the patriotism of the common people is founded
on their religion, and when they can no longer say " I
am Polish" (for the word Catholic is unknown to them),
but "I am Russian" (by which they mean Greek), Poland
will be a long time before brought to a state of tran-
quillity, for the nobles have now but little influence over
the people, and cannot put them in motion except with
the aid of the clergy.—Silician Journal
