HAMBURGII.
HAMBURGH, JAN. B.—As car as the eye can reach
there is one sheet of thick ice on the Elbe. All com-
munication by steam with Harburgh is now over. The
Primus and Courier steamers, which attempted to
make for our harbour this morning, were unable to
proceed further than the extremity of the Koulbrand,
and were obliged to land the mail-bags and the pas-
sengers at INieshof; consequently we did not receive
our papers and letters till this afternoon. Tempera-
ture, 1 deg.

relative to the refugees of n ddin having been com-
pletely adjusted. The exchange of the protocol
took place on that day between bi. TITOFF and
the Minister of Foreign Affairs. LATIFF BEY,
Secretary to FLTAD EFFENDI, left on the
27th, in tha Odessa steamer, to carry to St.
Petersburgh the protocol signed on the 26th,
the exchange of which had. been retarded to afford
Count STORMER, the Austrian Ambassador, time to
receive instructions from his Government to concur
in it. Those instructions, however, had not
arrived on the 31st. ACHMET EFFENDI, first drago-
man of the Divan, had been appointed Commissioner
of the Porte in the Danubian provinces, in place of
FUAD EFFENDI. Other letters of a private kind
confirm fully this pleasing intelligence. The
last-mentioned accounts add that the Poles
implicated in the late Hungarian insurrection are to
be confined in the town of Koniah, in Asia Minor.
Neither the Porte nor any foreign Power can for the
future protect political delinquents flying from Russia
or Austria into Turkey. No person, however, fur-
