DUTCH AND FLANDERS MAILS

BRUSSELS, JAN. 20.—The reports that have been
spread by the Dutch and German journals, of an in-
disposition of the Emperor of Russia, are completely
refuted by recent accounts from St. Petersburgh,
dated the 7th of this mouth, which announces that his
Maje,ty the Emperor Nicholas, accompanied by the
Grand Duke Alexander and a brilliant staff, had a
grand review of all the troops of the garrison on the
4th instant.

We announced some days ago a report that M. de
Rochusson, the Ambassador of Holland at the Court
Belgium, had been appointed Governor-General of
the Dutch possessions in the East Indies. This news
is now as good as certain. The Amsterdam Handles-
biad, giving an account of the reception of that
statesmen by the King, the Princes, and the
most distinguished persons in Holland, congratulate
the country on the choice that has just
been made of M. Rochussen as Governor- General of
India—a choice, it says, which seems to combine every-
thing that it required to promote the increase of the
commercial intercourse between the mother country
and its colonial possessions. Our countrymen, M.
J. Linden, who left, us in 1841, on a scientific mission
to South America, returned to Brussels a few days
ago. He has expl.)red successively, in three years
and a half, the Rapublic of Venezuela and New
Grenada, Jamaica, and the eastern part of the Island
of Cuba.

This traveller, who is known to the learned world
by his preceding visits to Brazil and Mexico, has
crossed the vast chain of the Andes, between the
eastern shores of Venezuela and the chief coast of the
Pacific Ocean, which is above six hundred leagues
in extent. The gloomy and pestilential forests
of the plains of the Tierra Caliente, as well as the
upper regions of the Cordelleras, known in South
America by the name of Paramos, were ultimately ex-
plored. He passed several times the limit of perpetual
snow, and ventured to ascend to the three highest
points of New Grenada and Venezuela, the Nevadode
Merida, 16,437 feet, the volcano of Folima, 17,240
feet, and the Sierra Nevada de Santa Maria, 16,500
feet above the level of the sea. During these dangerous
excursions he has also visited the Indian can-
nibals of Goajira, and the ferocious Auruhuacos,
who inhabit the cold and temperate side of the Nevade
de Santa Maria, and he sojourned for whole months
among the frightful solitude of the Quindice, and the
frozen regions of the Folima and of the grand Pa-
ramo de Ruiz. These dangerous researches in im-
mense countries, some of which had never before been
visited, have been fertile in numerous discoveries, and
botany, in particular, is indebted to M. Linden for
some hundred species of new plants, collected from the
burning plains of the Apiore to the gigantic summits
of the Andes.

The Universal Prussian Gazette of the 19th has
news from St. Petersburgh of the 11th, relative to
promotion in the army of the Caucasus.

There ara no late arrivals to-day from any quarter.
As the new session of Parliament approaches, the an-
ticipated tariff alterations occupy increased attention,
and the proceedings of the Legislature are expected to
be of peculiar interest to mercantile men. To a certain
extent the dealings in sugar, &c., must be restricted to
the requirements of immediate consumption, until the
announcement of the Ministerial intention takes place.
The Funds are a little flat to-day, but prices are lower
only for the Three per Cents, the other securities sup-
porting the full value. Consols for immediate transfer
have been par to 1004, and for time 1004 to 1004. Ex-
chequer-bills have realised 58s. to 61s. premium, and
