CASSEL, IVlAacn 24,—We know,here no foun-
dation for the report-which we find in the ifiun-
burgh Correspondent, of territorial acquisitions
likely to be made by the kingdom of Hanover in
the County of Schaumburg, in consequence of
the death of the late Elector of Hesse. It is
:certain that there has not been the least mention
of such a thing since the year 1815, and-the pre-
sent Elector :of Hesse doubtless sets as- much
value on the County of Schaumburg as the late
Elector did. - .

STOCKHOLM, MARCH 20.—A remarkable .pro-
pasal having been made to atter the modu
bi-
therto adopted for calculating,. the _ciinolutt of
the. import duty on foreign wool, his.Maje4ty
has decided the duties shall henctforward be
-
estimated according to the value of the articles.
Bygger still refuses to confirm his statements
by evidence.

By the latest accounts from the town of Getle,
in. the Province .of Getltikland, we learn, that
the wolves have devoured several children in the
neighbourhood. A girl, 19 years of age; has also
been the victim of these ravenous creatures.
The king has given &000 dollars from his
privy purse for the sufferers by the .fire at Vim-
met by.

It is positively affirmed, that the applicatlon
made by the Ex-King of Sweden to the Nor*e-
gian Diet, to obtain the rights of a citizen of
Norway, is to be considered as having never
existed.

The departure of Count Lowenhielm is indefi-
nitely delayed. As soon as the season allows he
will embark in the Sound on board a frigate,
which is also destined for the exerciFe of the Sea
Cadets, and will convey him to one of the port]
in the North of France.

COPENHAGEN, MARCH 27.—The shares of the
Asiatic Company, 4800 in number, are for 400
specie dollars each ; and in the General Meeting
this year, each share, according to the agcoiint
laid before the Proprietors by the Directors,
was estimated at 2171 sp.. dollars. It is to be
observed, that a sum of. 180,000 specie dodos,
which arose from the sale of the,Conapany's ship
the Crozon Prince, Captain Trock, at Batavia, in
1809, and which was deposited in the hands of
the Government of that place, has been received
by the Directors in Netherland bonds, at 6 per
cent. interest, which is paid annually. in the Ge-
neral Meeting, on the 15th Jan., the Directors
were also authorised hy the Proprietors to take
suitable steps for the recovery of 500,000 dol-
lars, which sum was lost by the occupation of
Serampore by the English in 1808. The reco-
very of this lost sum is considered as in sonic
measure uncertain, notwithstanding the solemn
declaration of Lord Minto that all private pro-
perty should be respected; and if the above
mentioned sum in Netherland bonds were con-
verted into money, and divided among the sharers,
each would be still worth no more' than 255 sp.
dollars, which make an entirely unproductive
sum. •

Three persons, lately deceased, have left is

if the amount. of )3ank-notes in circulation: is
taken at 25 millions, ,makes 1-12th of the whole
