DUTCH MAIL.

VIENNA, Nov. 18.—We learn that a law will be
shortly published with respect to the abolition of the
Corvees in Galicia. It is said that the Archduke Stephen
of Bohemia, where he has become a favourite among all
classes of people, will soon leave Prague, and take the
place of the Archduke Louis in the cabinet of the Em-
peror. A Bourgrave is to be appointed in Bohemia,
which post is to be confided to Count Stadion.
FRANKFORT, Nov. 22.—1 t is slid uncertain whether
Cracow will remain a free city, like Brody, or whether
it will be included in the jurisdiction of the A.ustrian
Customs. The merchants of Cracow are very important
purchasers at the fairs of Frankfort or Leipsig. It is
hoped that Prussia, the most important state of the
Zollverien, when it was decided to abolish the Republic,
has taken care to provide for the interest of commerce
which is already so restricted in the eastern provinces.
FRANKFORT, Nov. 24.—The Vienna Gazette publishes
a commercial treaty between Austria and the kingdom
of the Two Sicilies. By this treaty the differential du-
ties on the productions of the two countries are to be
abolished, and an entire freedom of trade and naviga-
tion between them to be established. The Council of
Administration of Warsaw has given notice' that the
existing duty on coffee: of fifteen silver roubles per cwt.
shall be placed on an equality with the duty levied on
that article in Russia, viz. nine silver roubles and
twenty-five copees.
The Cologne Gazette at length breaks the silence
which it has hitherto observed relative to the affairs of
Cracow. It endeavours to prove that France and Eng-
land have no right to attack the measures adopted by
the three northern powers. The author of this article,
after having observed that, in fact, Cracow had for a
long time no more than a shadow of independence; after
having insinuated in the second place, that Cracow was
no more free than the lonian islands are at present under
the protection of England, continues as follows:
"By what right do France and England complain of
the violation of the rights of nations ? Is not Algeria
also a free country, which the conqueror treads ;.under
foot in contempt of the laws of humanity ? Have the
Cossacks treated Poland in a more barbarous manner
than the inventors of the razzias treat the women and
children of unhappy Africa ? and have they not the
same right to liberty and independence ? We do not
mean to justify the partition of Poland, but it is not for
the Guizots and the Palmerstons to reproach us with it.
We do not pretend that our Ministers and statesman
do better than France or England ; but we affirm that
they do not act worse."
THE lIAGUE, Nov. 25.—His Highness Duke Her-
mann of Saxe Weimar, who has passed some days in this
town, set out early this morning for Rotterdam, whence
he will continue his journey by way of Belgium and
France.

together a mystery. The little captive, however, was
taken out alive from its woolly net, and restored to li-
berty, without apparently having sustained the slightest
injury.—Preston Chronicle.
A THIEF DROWNED BY HIS PLUNDER.—On Thurs-
day last, as a man named George Harding was attempt-
ing to escape, by means of a boat, from the yard of
Mr. Kennett, railway contractor, Bristol, he over-
balanced himself, and fell into the water. The weight
of the stolen iron upon his person caused him to sink
to the bottom, and before he could be got out life was
extinct.
FOREIGN POTATOES.—The arrivals of potatoes from
abroad during the past week have comprised the follow-
ing:--The Gypsy,. from Jersey, brought 45 tons, the
produce of that island; the Ruding, from Oporto, 10
baskets of Portuguese produce; the Johns, from Rouen,
the large quantity of 135 tons, the, growth of France;
the Giraffe, from Rotterdam, 20 baskets, of Dutch pro-
duce; the Faith, from Rouen, 105 tons, of French pro-
duce; the Charles, from Gravelines, 50 tons, also of
French produce; the Perseverance, from Dunkirk, 143,-
tons, the produce of Normandy; the Ocean, from Rot-
terdam, 4 hampers, 6 baskets, and 12 bags, of Dutch
produce; the Rob Roy, from St. Petersburgh, 225 blgs,
the production of Russia; the Sir Robert Peel, from
Rotterdam, 6 bags, of Dutchfproduce; and the Artemus,
from St. John's, Newfoundland, 10 barrels, the growth
of that British province of North America. It will be
observed that this list of the principal arrivals during
the past week comprises supplies from France, Holland,
Russia, Normandy, Portugal, and the Channel island
first mentioned, and from which latter place we have re-
ceived parcels of the vegetable on former occasions. Of
them, those from France are especially noticeable on
account of their extent, and the individual importation
from Russia on account of its increased extent, and from
Portugal owing to its partial or entire novelty. With
respect to the arrival from Newfoundland, we are not
aware that a similar one has before taken place, and,
although trifling in quantity, the importation, on ac-
count of its novelty, would appear to possess a consi-
derable degree of interest, and to be worthy of particu-
lar and separate notice.

STOPPAGE OF FACTORIES AT PRESTON.—During
last week no less than thirteen cotton mills have been
closed at Preston, in consequence of water having ben
let off from the canal, from which several mills are sup-
plied with water, to enable the Police Commissioners to
enlarge the culvert which lies under the canal, and
which forms part of the common town sewer.—Manches
fer Examiner.
