FLANDERS MAIL.

GOTHENBURG, JUNE 1.-A salute of artillery an-
nounced the arrival, yesterday afternoon, at two o'clock,
of his Majesty. We need hardly say that the streets
through which he passed were crowded with thousands of
citizens, who received him with load acclammations, and
surrounded the carriage, on which showers of bouquets
were thrown. To-day the King is to lay the first stone
of the new Exchange. The enthusiasm of the people
is boundless.

RUSSIAN FRONTIERS, MAY 23.—According to the
latest accounts, the war in the Caucasus will be carried
on with greater energy than ever as soon as the army
now there is reinforced by the fifth corps of infantry.
The Emperor has thought it necessary lately to issue a
proclamation to the troops, in which he is pleased to
express a hope that they will show themselves, in the
field of honour, worthy of his Majesty's expectation,
and endeavour to draw on themselves the entire attention
of his Majesty the Emperor.
POSEN, MAY 31.—A great sensation has been caused
here by a remark of the German journal of this city. It
states that the sudden journey of the Emperor of Russia
(though accounts from St. Petersburgh received a few
days ago, said that he would not leave the Empire this
year), is connected with his plan to abolish the kingdom
of Poland, and to incorporate the country with the
Russian Empire, and give it the name of a Russian Go-
vernment. What ground there may be for this intelli-
gence is not stated, and we must wait to see whether it
is anything more than an idle report; it however cal-
culated to excite the greatest alarm amongst the Poles ;
for if the name of the kingdom of Poland, is once struck
off the list of European kingdoms, it will soon be com-
pletely Russianised. The name is of great importance in
these matters. Judging by the consistent conduct of the
Russian Government in Poland hitherto, such a step may
certainly be expected in time, if not so soon.
COBLENTZ, MAY 31.—1 t is said that the Address to
O'Connell, which has been circulated in several towns of
the province of the Rhine, has given occasion to some
discussion between the English and Prussian Govern-
ments.
HANOVER, JUNE s.—Mr. Charles Frederick William
Evers, our Synde, having been chosen by the magistrates
of this capital, and presented to his Majesty as Director
of the City, his Majesty has been pleased to confirm
his election to this important office. This being the
King's birth-day, who completes his 74th year, his Ma-
jesty 'has created a new distinction in honour of fifty
years militartservice, and' gave it the name of the Cross
of Ernest Augustus. The first officer who receives
this cross is his Royal Highness the Duke of Cam-
bridge.--Hamburgh Papers.

PRINCESS ROYAL STEAMSHIP. —Tys favourite ves-
sel, having undergone considerable improvements in her
cabin accommodations, has again taken her place in the
line between this port and Glasgow. We have no doubt
she will sustain the celebrity she has already obtained,
and that the continued patronage of voyagers to the west
of Scotland will remunerate her owners. Of one so well
known in. the Glasgow and Liverpool trade as her com-
mander Captain M'Arthur, it is scarcely necessary for us
to observe that he 'still ministers to the comfort of the
passengers under his charge.—Liverpool Albion.
ENNISKILLEN.—The Hon. Henry Cole, younger
brother of the late Member, will be returned for this borough
withpat opposition.
