BERLIN, DEC. 5.--The journey of Prince Ada]•
bert to St. Petersburgh is put off; and Prince Au-
gustus, of Wirtemly-rg, brother to the Grand
Duchess Helen, is gone to Russia for the same
purpose.
Letters were received yesterday from St. Peters-
burgh by express, which announce that the business
which the Foreign Department is transacting with
the Turkish Ambassador is proceeding with great
activity; and that in consequence several couriers
have been despatched to the ports on the Black Sea,
with orders for the fitting out of several large men
of war and transports. - At the date of these letters,
two military officers of high rank, one of whom is
to have the title of Ambassador, were preparing to
set out for Germany.
If we may credit private letters from Vienna, oc-
currences on the Southern frontiers of the Austrian
Empire call for the special attention and exercise of
the Chancellor, Prince Metternich, and the opening
of the much-talked-of Conference will be a little
delayed on that account.
In a list of the names of the Ministers who are
to attend the Conferences, which was shown in a
diplomatic circle yesterday, we find Baron Sturmer,
as well as Prince Metternich, for Austria; Count
Orloff and Prince Maizekoff, for Russia; Lord
Durham for England. Several of the Foreign
Ministers at Vienna are also named, and to France
was sent a note interrogative.
It was farther mentioned, that on the proposal of
great Northern Power, the Turkish Minister at
Vienna, who has lately been highly honoured by the
Sultan, is to be present at the Conference.
BERLIN, DEC. 7.—We learn that M. Ancillon
will set out for Vienna before the 15th. It is not
known whom he will take with him, but as many
legal questions are likely to be brought forward, it
is thought that Counsellor Eidehorn will perhaps
accompany the Minister. The regulation of the
frontiers between Poland arid Silesia, which has been
now a subject of negotiation, without coming to a
conclusion for nearly 300 years, will probably be de-
ferred till his return.
HAMBURG, DEC. 9.—An express from Cuxhaven
brings word that the William Jolliffe steam boat,
which put to sea en the 30th November, with the
mail of the 30th, had got within fifty miles of the
English coast, when it was compelled, by a violent
storm, to put back, and lay for eight days off Heli-
goland, where it was obliged yesterday morning, on
the approach of a violent storm from the north-west,
to take refuge in the road of Cuxhaven, where it ar-
rived safe at three o'clock, It has suffered no damage,
and has ample stock of coals ready to put to sea
again on the first opportunity.*

* The William Joll(ffe arrived in the Thames yesterday,
• Sunday, Dec, 15.

" The petitioners will not attempt to touch your
Majesty's heart by vain lamentations or vague allegations,
but hope to convince you by the production of statements,
the correctness of which cannot be called in question.
Belgium possesses manufactories for the cotton manu-
factures, the value of which is 62,677,300 francs, in-
cluding the value of the buildings, furniture, &c.
" These establishments work up annually 8,320,000
kilogrammes of raw cotton, which may be estimated at
16,640,000 franca. They produce 7,765,333 kilo-
grammes of yarn cotton, which have been converted into
1,941,333 pieces of various tissues ; the remainder has
been used in hosiery and mixed goods.
" The quantity of manufactured cotton acquires a value
of from sixty to eighty millions of francs ; 221,886 per-
sons have gained their livelihood, and that of their families
in the manufacture of these articles.

" The petitioners are convinced, Sire, that the impnrt-
ance of the cotton manufactures, which is evident from

this plain statement, entitles it to the special protection of
your Maj-sty, and for this reason they respectfully take the
liberty to explain the causes of the distress under which
they labour, and the remedies which it is most necessary
to apply.
" The causes of the distress are, first, the separation of
Belgium from Holland. We have now no market hut the
kingdom of Belgium, and the expenses of exportation in
the kingdom, where our manufactures have to contend
more and more with the English, exclude us from it.
" The second is the loss of a colony, which annually
consumed a large portion of our manufactures.
" The third is the enormous extent to which the
smuggling of foreign goods is carried on by a system of
fraud, notoriously organised en our frontiers.
" The remedies which they propcse ate—
" 1. To secure to the national manufactures the mo-
nopoly of the Belgian market, for which it is necessary to
revise our tariff.
" 2. To favour the exportation of the surplus of our
manufactures.
" Bounties on 'exportation are indispensable to the
existence of our establishments.
" The two measures proposed are the only means of
reviving the cotton manufactures, and securing the exist•
ence of the immense number of workmen.
" Information of a commercial society cannot, in any
case, produce immediate relief, which none but prompt
measures can effct." . .

The King, after listening to the deputation with
great attention, promised the co-operation of his
Government as far as it had authority to act, and
pointed out that part of the measures required must
emanate from the Legislature. The deputation re-
tired full of hope, founded on the gracious language
of his Majesty.
Three of the members of the deputation of the
workmen of the same city also had an audience of
his Majesty. We learn that the language which
his Majesty held to them inspired them with the
fullest confidence that they may rely on the sincere
solicitude of the Government.

The petition of the workmen to the Chamber of
Representatives says—
That during the last three years they have been
without any work for months together, and at oihei
tunes they have had only half work, so that they
have been obliged gradually to pawn all they had,*even to
their bed clothes; and now, when they have nothing left
that they can sell or pawn, they are without work, and
c insequently without tread. They do not know the
cause of their misfirtunes or the means of remedying
them ; but they do know that they no longer see mime;
rous waggons and ships convey their manufactures to
distant countries ; they do know, from the reports of some
who have been in other countries, that in England,
France, and Prussia, not an 01 of cotton manufactured in
Flanders, or any othet produce of Belgian manufacture, is
to be seen, while we see with our own eyes that the ships
of Flanders are filled with English, French, and Swiss
manufactures. We then ask, why do we not do here as
they do in France, England, and Prussia, where trade and
manufactures flourish?"
Count Latour Maubourg will return to Brussels
on the 14th or 15th.
On the 16th of this month a solemn Te Deunt
will be performed in the principal churches of all
the towns in the kingdom, on account of his Ma.
jes.y's birthday. The report of the Central Sec-
tion, on the Budget of the Ministers of Justice,
Foreign Malts, and Marine, indicates that there
will be no serious objection to the sums asked for.
The sums proposed by the Minister of Justice are
allowed, with very few exceptions. With respect
to Foreign Affairs, a Jaw on the Consulates is pro-
posed. No objection is made to the expense of the
embassy in Paris; but there are some to that in
London. The majority agreed to 80,000 francs.
With respect to the Marine, the 30,000 francs
asked for building vessels met with no support in
the sections. The central section proposes to ad-
journ the consideration of this proposal.
The Second Chamber continues the discussion
of the Ways and Means.
Great apprehensions are entertained at Antwerp
that great damage has been done by the late storm.
The Dutch papers of the 10th contain no news
of importance.
