FLANDERS and HAMBURGH MAILS
JASSY, Ana. 18.—The Suline Mouth of the Danube
has been so choked up with sand during the whole
summer, that no merchantmen have been able to enter.
FROM THE FRONTIERS OF TURKEY, AUG. 14.
(From the Silesian Gazette.)—The whole .Pashalik of
Bagdad is in alarm. Redschid Pacha, the Governor of
that province, a fanatic Turk, well known for having
taken by storm the holy city of Kerbela, has expelled
Achmed Pacha, the hereditary Governor of Sulimanie
from his post, after a desperate action, he having caused
a messenger to have his head cut off, whom Redschid
had ge,:lt to summon him to appeal' in person before the
Governor. Redschid, indeed, appointed a brother of
Acbmed in his worn, but in vain. Arabia is likewise in
a complete state of rebellion. The state of Albania and
Bornia is not much better. The orders of the Porte are
'scarcely attended to in these provinces, and the new
system of recruiting cannot be carried into effect there.
CARLSRUHE, SEPT. I.—An article in the Carlsruhe
Gazette is very characteristic of the views and plans of
the advocates of protective duties. Very little trans-
pires respecting the deliberations of the Zollverein. It
may, however, be foreseen that this congress, consisting
of men well versed in matters relative to trade and ma-
nufactures, will do its utmost to raise our manufactures
in competition with England, France, and Switzerland.
But the cotton printing, the manufacture of figured stuffs,
&c., must be protected against the piratical imitations so
common in Germany. Skilful workmen must be pro-
cured from France and England for those branches in
which we are still inferior to foreigners, and for this
protective duties are necessary • so that those branches
of manufacture cannot subsist without help from abroad,
and even this help is not sufficient, unless these articles
are secured against competition by protective duties.
COLOGNE, SEPT. 2.—(From the Bremen Gazette.)--
A supposed intention is talked of, which, if it should be
carried into effect, will create an extraordinary sen-
sation. It is well known that the Queen of England,
when she was here, gave 3,500 dollars for our Cathedral.
A very different sum was expected from the Queen of
three kingdoms, but apart from this, as the Queen does
not seem in general to have any particular taste for the
grand in art, the matter is now taken up in a very
different point of view, and a society has been formed
here to return the gift to her Britannic Majesty.. It is
said that considerable contributions have been subscribed
for this purpose, and chiefly by manufacturers, for the
people's eyes are opened, and notwithstanding all the
fine phrases of the freedom of trade, they see that Eng-
land, like a vast nightmare, keeps down all our manufac-
turing and commercial efforts. This is the ground of a
demonstration, which otherwise might appear ridiculous,
nay, childish.
NoTE.--=This demonstration if it should be really in-
tended, maybe justly called ridiculous and childish; our
manufacturing gentlemen would play the part of a pug-
dog, which would frighten a bull dog by his yelping
and certainly nobody would dispute with the glory of
such a heroical defence of the national system. As for
the amount of the sum given by the Queen of England,
it must be remembered that she is not an absolute Sove-
reign, who can dispose of the public money as she
pleases ; but must measure her gift according to the
means at her disposal which are in proportion far from
considerable, and that .a contribution of 500/. towards
building a Roman Catholic Cathedral, exceeds the usual
amount of contribution for building churches, and other
charitable purposes in her own country.—liatnburgh Pa-
per, sth September.
BituisELs, Semi. 9.—The average price of Wheat according to
the returns sent by the Governors of the provinces in the week
from the Ist to the Bth of September, was for 22, and that of Rye
for 13.96.
The Courrier d'Anvers, says..." We learn from good authority
that the King has desired the Burgomaster of Antwerp to thank in
his name and in that of Queen Louisa and Queen Victoria, the in.
habitants of Antwerp for their excellent reception of their Majesties
on the 6th and 7th of this month. Their Belgian Majesties were
particularly charmed with the pains taken by Antwerp to give a
worthy reception to her Britannic Majesty and their august rela-
tion, and have congratulated the Burgomaster on the good spirit
which animates our population. We are assured besides that
their Majesties promssed to make a longer stay among us next year."
Some merchants of Antwerp are preparing to freight vessels,
which are to be sent to purchase potatoes in America, England,
Spain, and other countries where that vegetable is cultivated.
To give an idea of what will be the produce of potatoes this
year, it will suffice to state the following fact :—A measure, or 44
ares, of potatoes have been sold at Thourout for 4 francs; others,
and these were the best, have been sold at 37 francs per measure.
In ordinary years the measure of potatoes is worth from 300 to
.350 francs.
Lamle, Sari. 4.—The annual fete, in commemoration of the
Constitution, pas begun, and, with respect to the official part,
has been celebrated exactly as in former years, and may be con-
sidered as ended. The whole was conducted with the greatest
propriety and order.
Bracts, Sarr.
,2.—The negotiations for the renewal of our
treaty of commerce and navigation. with Denmark, which expired
on the 17th of June, 1836,• will be resumed in October, this year,
and Count Reventlow will return to Berlin for that purpose.
BERLIN, SEPT. 2.—The Minister of Foreign Affairs has hitherto
given to individuals, at their request, passports to go abroad, but
orders have lately been given not to do so in future. The higher
classes of the clergy and eminent physicians, probably because they
are considered as having nothing to do with political intrigues, are
exempt, and may still have passports to go abroad from the Minister
of foreign Affairs. All other persons must procure such passports
from the Minister of the Interior.
BRVSSELS, SEPT. 11—His Majesty has transacted business to-day
with the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Minister of Finance.
It is suggested whether, at the moment when the Chambers are
going to have an extraordinary session to consider of the means of
providing subsistence for the people, it might not be expedient
to snake some modification in the law which imposes a duty of 701.
or 80f. on the importation of cattle. The price of meat is now so
high, that it is impossible for workmen who have but low wages to
purchase it for their families. What will it be if the price of live
cattle should rise, as there is every reason to expect? This question
certainly deserves the most serious attention of the Government and
the Chambers.
The•Ga' retie of Mom says :—".lVe have already stated from the
Journal of Charleroi that foreign emissaries had been seen lurking
about the principal manufactories of arrondissement, endeavouring
to entice away the best workmen. The fact is but too certain ; it is
particularly manifest at Alonceau-sur-Sambre and this with the
knowledge of everybody in the face of the authorities.
"Unhappily, too, it is impossible to prevent it. The penal code, as a
journal observes, does not touch the guilty till after they have sent
the workmen Into another country. The 417th article does not con-
sider as punishable the attempt to entice workmen, and no magis-
trate could get without making himself responsible."
Bacsms, Saw. 12.—Cargoes of peas and dry beans have already
arrived at Antwerp. The day before yesterday there were peas from
Bremen of excellent quality, which may supply the place of potatoes.
We may add that the price is reasonable.
The Triton, English steamer, which arrived at Ostend on the 9th,
brought the remainder of the crew of the Precurseur.

AMERICAN NEWS.
The Hibernia arrived at Liverpool on Saturday morning.
She brings American papers to the 30th ult. The Great,
Britain was to leave New York on the afternoon of that day.
There is nothing decisive from Mexico. The following ac-
count of the movement of American troops on the frontier is
extracted from the New Orleans Picayune of the 17th ult.
" General Gaines, commanding the southern division of
the United States, having made a demand on Governor
Mouton for one thousand men or more for the national ser-
vice, and the Governor promptly made a requisition on Ge-
neral Lewis, commanding the first division of the Louisiana
militia, for the required force, viz., two regiments of volun-
teers, of ten companies each—one of them to consist of mus-
keteers and one of riflemen, and two companies of artillery
with eight field pieces, the requisition was immediately
responded to, and will be put forthwith into execution.

It was reported in Vera Cruz, that a large number of
