GERMAN AND BRUSSELS PAPERS

CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 22. According to a report
from the Capitan Pacha, the inhabitants of Samos are dis-
posed to submits The Capitan Pacha has visited most of
the Turkish islands, and leaving two men-of-war at Samos,
has proceeded on his voyage. We have received from
Egypt the happy account that the Viceroy is ready to pay
the whole arrears of tribute due to the .Porte. Part of it
has already been paid here. Mehemet seems, by this step,
to have taken the best way to refute the heavy accusations
made against him, in consequence of the late troubles in
Albania. Perhaps the news of the sailing of the Capitan
Pacha to the Mediterranean, respecting whose real desti-
nation there have been so many reports, has had its influ-
ence on the prudent Viceroy.
According to the latest accounts from Greece, received
by way of Smyrna, the Sion steam-boat, purchased by the
Greek Government, will begin its voyages from Athens to
Smyrna twice a week. Our communications with Athens,
by way of Smyrna, will therefore be more quick and fre-
quent. The Greek National Bank intended to have a
branch bank at Smyrna.
-SMYRNA—ZARA, Nov. 19.—The Gazzetta de Zara has
the following letter from Scutari, in Albania :—" The Grand
Vizier, who at first seemed to consider with great indiffer-
ence what had passed during the insurrection, to the great
injury of public order, is now acting with great rigour. He has
arrested Kaki Pacha, of Didea, Istain- Paella, of the city of
Spech, andSeffulinPacha of Scrova, and sent them,with the old
Kadi l\lollah Ibrahim, and the Batschi Mustapha Batschel-
rick, to Constantinople : the three first accused of treachery
in having favoured the rebels by a perfidious retreat, and
the two last as instigators and leaders of the rebellion. It
is believed that other persons will be arrested. Many of
the magistrates (or elders) have also been removed from
their functions, and their places filled up by others more de-
voted ta.. the Porte. The Miriali, Ismael Bey, and the
Kairnahan Veli Bey, who-capitulated with the rebels, have

been dismissed from their posts. According to a late letter
from Serajevo, the Sultan had conferred various distinctions
and marks of honour on some faithful Bosnian vassals.
SEMLIN, Nov. 24.—Prince Miloscfr remains in the
neighbourhood of Widden. He seems ty have there re-
ceived the reports from all parts of Servia or the temper of
the inhabitants. All the Bishops and Notabigs are sum-
moned to Pujarcratz for the 27th of this month, on which
day the Pr ace and his family will arrive there.
TRIESTE, Nov. 12.—8 y a decree of the United Aulic
-Chancery, of the 20th of October, his Imperial Majnty
has been pleased to confer the dignity of Prince on a 9
Archbishops of Gorz.—Frankfort Paper, Dec. 9.
BRINgELS, DEC. 12.—The frost has been so intense
since the evening of the 10th, that the ice on the ponds
of Jaelles and Etterbeck is already an inch thick.
The Governor of the province has just invited the Ma-
gistrates to take the necessary measuras for the solemn ce-
lebration of his Majesty's birth-day on the 10th of this
month.

The King and Queen, who never miss an opportunity
for ercising their beneficence, have just sent 1,000 francs
to M.. Deley, Bugomaster of Laeken, for the poor of
that commune.
The Independent coat&ns the following article :—" Are
the certificates of the Active Debt, of the Deferred Debt,
and the Los-renten, created while Holland and Belgium
formed one Kingdom, to be considered as portions of the
National Debt, or as certificates of Foreign Stock in
ehargingthe duties on inherited property ?
" 'rho tribunal of the first instance, at Antwerp, has de-
cided as follows Considering that these funds were
created while Belgium and Holland formed but one kingdom,
and c:nsequmtly constituted a part of the National Debt :
that a part of the Debt contracted during the Union of the two
countries is charged upon Belgium by the treaty of the
I.sth November, it results that till the execution of the
treaty, the National Funds have not become Foreign Funds,
though the quota of Belgium is still uncertain."
We mentioned two days ago that several vessels had been
freighted by the Society of Commerce of Brussels, for the
exportation of coals. 'We find by the Antwerp Shipping
List, that four of these vessels had sailed from that port,
three American for Berlin, and the Placeniz for Bordeaux.
The American ships quit our ports in ballast, and
yet coals are an article absolutely necessary to the indus-
trious Republic of the United States, Whose territory is
traversed in all directions by iron rail-roads and by rivers
crowded with steam-boats. The King of the French, by
his last ordinance relative to the Custorns,.bas divided
France into two zones, for the importation of coals. Till
a modification of this ordinance, which cannot be long de-
layed, our coals could not hope to bear the competition
with the English in the diStant ports of France, unless the
freights were reduced. The Society of Commerce has
found means to do this. Ships destined for a French port
in the favourable zone will no longer go in ballast, whether
they return from Belgium, or are going to fetch a cargo.
The great increase of steam navigation, which is prepa-
ring in all parts of the globe, will secure an immenso sale
for the produce of our coal mines.

BRUSSELS, DEC. 10.—M. F. Moons, Director of the
Balk, has returned from Paris, where he went ten days ago
after the departure of Messrs. Vasquin, Demeor, and
Noel, to confer with M. Thiers on the proposed rail-road
from Paris to Brussels. - We hear. that these gentlemen
have had daily conferences with M. Thiers, and that the
French Government shows great willingness to support the
project. It is hoped that all the objections will soon be
removed, and that the works may be commenced in the

spring.
There is at Ghent a vessel lading for Algiers.
The Chamber of Commerce at Lille, in a sitting of the
4th of this month, after the reading of a luminous report
on the question of an iron rail-road from Paris to Lille, en-
tered into an elaborate discussion, in which it resolved that a
rail-road from Paris to Lille would be a public benefit, and
that the direction by way of St. Quentin would be the most

advantageous.
Messrs. Rothschild, of Frankfort, have given notice that
the sum required for making the canal from the Danube to
the Maine is complete, and that the subscription is closed.
BRUSSELS, DEC. 11.—In the Report on the Ways and
Means we find that the Revenue of the Excise is 900,000
francs more than it was last year. In this excess the duty
on foreign wines is for the sum of 200,000 francs ; sugar,
50,000 francs : Geneva (not foreign), 500,000. The duty
on foreign brandies has fallen off 100,000 francs.
A letter from Antwerp states, that the Society of Com-
merce has lately laden half a dozen very large vessels with
coals for exportation, and it is said that the Society has
freighted several other vessels to export coals and other ar-
tic!es of Belgian produce. This will be very advantageous

to our coal mines.
On the 9th, at noon, an explosion of fire-damp, in a coal-
mine at Jemappe, severely injured 24 workmen, 12 of whom
are since dead, and the others in much danger. Some
miners are missing, and it is feared they are buried under the
rubbish. Fifty men Ave re at work.
The Nerd of the Bth of Dec. says—" The Count d'Es-
pagne, formerly Captain-GeneKal of Catalonia, arrived to-
day at Lille, and was immediately conducted to the
where, it is said, he will he kept under guard."

POLISH EXILES.

PRESENTATION OF THE FREEDOM OF EDINEURGII TO PRINCE
CZ ARTORY SKI AND COUNT LADISLAS ZAMOYSKI.
On Tuesday last, the Town Council, on the motion of
the Lord Provost, seconded by Councillor Bruce, unani-
mously voted the freedom of the city to the two illustrious
expatriated strangers ; and on Thursday the Lord Provost
accompanied by Bellies Macfarlan, Donaldson, Sawers, and
Stodart, Dean of Guild Lamond, Convener Dick, and
Treasurer Black, waited on them at their hotel, to present
them with their burgess tickets. • The Lord Provost and
Magistrates, &c. wore their robes of (Alice, and, preceded
by the sword and mace, were ushered into the drawing-
room, where they were received by the illustrious strangers,
attended by Lord Dudley Stuart, and were severally intro-
duced, when
The Loan PROVOST addressed them nearly as follows :
Most Noble Prince, and Count Zamoyski—We, represent-
ing the Corporation of Edinburgh, appear now before your
Highness to congratulate you on your arrival in this city.
As the organ of that Corporation, we he most sincerely to
express how much we feel, and how deeply we sympathize
with you, and with your noble countrymen, under the
wrongs they have already suffered, and are yet called upon
to bear. In consideration of your noble birth and exalted
rank, and the great merit which attaches to your characters,
the Town Council wished to pay you a mark of respect.
That marl; of respect, the highest within their power, the
freedom of this ancient metropolis, they unanimously agreed
to bestow on you. The Council did honour to itself by
testifying the high sense they entertain of your exalted cha-
racter, of the devoted patriotism wherewith you struggled
to maintain the integrity and wishes of your country. These
testimonials of our esteem and. respect I now have the ho-
nour of presenting to you.
His Lordship having presented the burgess tickets,
Prince CZARTORYSKI, evidently much affected, in reply
said—Since the fall of my country, I have passed many sad
and sorrowful days ; but they seem at this moment to
vanish all from my recollection, for, I never felt before so
much gratified, and at the same time so proud as now, when
I receive from your hands the high honour bestowed on me
by the Council and Magistrates of Edinburgh. I know
that I owe this honour chiefly to the interest you take in
the cause of Poland ; and this it is which makes me doubly
happy and grateful in receiving it. This precious document
will I show to my children, that they may learn from it how
devoted patriotism and steady attachment to a just and
glorious, thOughunhappy cause, is valued and recompensed
in the great capital of Scotland ; and when I am no more,
they will still preserve it with sacred care as a testimony of
the honour done to me, whom, when an exile, you made
your fellow-citizen. This, your gift, enriches me with a
new claim on your friendship and kindness ; and, before I
part with you, let me recommend to your Lordship, and the
other Members of the Council, all the Polish exiles who
have sought shelter within the walls of this hospitable city.
Count LADISLAS ZAmovsp then addressed the Lord
Provost as follows :—I really can attribute this most pre-
cious mark' of your kindness to no other circumstance than
my being a near relative to my uncle the Prince Czarto-
ryski, for I cannot believe that any merit of mine could
otherwise have deserved the high honour you do me in
placing me in the same rank with him in this instance, and
expressing thus your feelings and sentiments in regard to
Poland, r wrongs, her rights, and I think I may con-
fidently add, her hopes teo, when I see these hopes enter-
tained by the great mass of the free, enlightened, and gene-
rous inhabitants of this great and powerful country.
The Members of Council then retired, after having se-
verally congratulated the illustrious and noble strangers on
their admiSsion to the freedom of the city.

Wc announced in our last Chronicle, that an eagle
had been shot in Radnorshire. 'We find that on nearly the
same day, a remarkably fine eagle, of the golden species,
was recently shot near Kinder Scout, Derby. The bird
measures seven feet six inches between the tips of its wings,
weight I It is now alive and well, and has been
much admired.—Shrewsbury Chronicle.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE. SUN.

SlR—There are two important mistaks in your rei:ort
of this trial which you will obl4 eus by contradicting. You
state that on a former application an injunction was granted
to the plaintiff; whereas it wa3 refused—that Mr. Sievier
was the ingenious discoverer of the use of the pure India
Robber for elastic purposes. Mr. Sievier lays claim to no
such discovery, it being admitted and notorious that it has
been so used for a number of years, both in this country
and on the conti3ent.
Mr. Sievier's clam is for the combination of elastic ma-
tvial, or India Rubli!lr, being previously braided with non-
elastic,and the same plane. And of
threads of cotton,
this combination we maintC in he is not the first inventor, es
it was known and used by ourselves and other manufac-
turers some time before the date of his patent.
We are Sir, yaw. obedient servants,
