In an interview which took place yesterday be-
tween the Silk Delegates and the Board of Trade
Mr. V. FITZGERALD stated, that it was not the in-
tent ion of Ministers to revive the old prohibitions,
or raise the existing duties.

The French Papers are destitute of any informa-
tion of moment. The .Maniteur states officially
that the dignity of a Marshal of France has been
conferred on General MAisoN, Commander-in-Chief
of the Army in the Morea, who, in addition to his
services there, distinguished himself, it seems, in the
years 1814 and 1815. The Constitutionnel, in a
etter, dated Egina, states that the situation of
Greece, though still very deplorable, is reviving be-
neath the fostering industry and perseverance of the
inhabitants. " Argos, which has been twice ra-
vaged, is almost entirely rebuilt, and there are
already three thousand new houses in Tripolitza."
The Courrier Francais observes that Cardinal
FEscx, the titular Archbishop of Lyons, is a candi-
date for the vacant Popedom.

By the Flanders mail, which arrived this morn-
ing, we have received Brussels Papers to the 26th,
and the Allgemeine Zeitung to the 20th inst. The
former say that accounts have been received from
Moldavia to the 2d inst., which state that the Rus-
sians will probably pass the Danube this year not
only on the side of Bulgaria but also on the side of
Servia. They have accumulated great quantities of
provisions; and also materials for the construction of
a bridge over the Danube, near Widdin. The ac-
counts from Carlsruhe, of the 19th, as given in the
Allgemeine Zeitung, deplore the loss of the Mar-
gravine CHRISTIANS Louis.t of Baden, widow of
the late Margrave FREDERICK, who died at three
o'clock that morning. The following are extracts :

FRONTIERS OF 510T.DAVIA, FEB. 2.

Notwithstanding the bad weather, the preparkions for
the next campaign are going on in the Principalities with
the greatest activity, and it is probable that the Russian
troops will pass the Danube not only to Bulgaria, as'_they
did last year, but also to Servia. A great quantity of
cordage, boards, and beams, has already been purchased,
for the purpose of throwing a bridge over the Danube, near
Widdin. The changes that have been made in the Russian
military administration are said to have already produced
beneficial ell'ect4. Daily skirmishes take place between he
garrisons of the Turkish fortresses on the Danube and the
Russian light troops, generally to the adVantage of the
latter. Letters from Bucharest say that Count Pahlen
will leave the Principalities. It was expected that the ex-
portation of horses from the principalities would he pro..
hibited.

VIENNA, FEB. 15.
A French Courier has been despatched from this city to
Paris, and a Russian Courier has arrived from•Apcona.—
Tl4e next accounts from Constantinople, which are daily
expected, are looked for with groat impatience. The rise
in our Funds is generally ascribed to the high prices of
those of France and England.

BRUSSELS, FEB: .24.

An express has brought the official notice of the death
of Pope Leo XII. to Marquis Cappaccini:. this prelate is
commissioned by the Cardinals composing the conclave to
communicate this notice to his Majesty. The same cou-
rier was the bearer of the continuation of the powers of
the Marquis Cdppaccini, relative to the mission with
which he is intrusted in the Netherlands, so that,the un-
fortunate event which has deprived the Catholic Church of
a revered head, will not affect the relations between our
Court and that of Rome.

BERLIN, FEB. 18.

The report complains of the injurious effects of the new
Tariff of the United States, adding, however, that not-
withstanding the great competition, some profits have been
derived from the sale of German manufactures. In the
East Indies the case is different : the manufactures of
Germany are still but little inquired for, and are at very
low prices.

CARLSRUTIF, FEB. 19.

His Royal Highness the Grand Duke, the Princes and
Princesses of his family, and with them the whole Grand
Duchy, have just suffered an irreparable loss, which is the
more painful as. it was unexpected.
We have to deplore the loss of the ‘Margravine Chris-
tiana Louisa of Baden (a Princess of Nassau), with''r of,
the late Alargrave Frederic, who died at three o'clock this
morning, after a short illness of a paralysis of the lungs.
BRUSSELS, FEB. 23.
One of the Swiss regiments is now being disbanded at
Antwerp ; part of the men enlist for the East India ser-
vice, and part in our cavalry (the cuirassiers). _On Friday
last a fleet of thirty merchantmen, under full sail, arrived
before the poet of Antwerp; twenty-seven imnardiltely
entered the little bison, and were placed near the quay;
two vessels entered abreast with the greatest facility and
order. Twenty-five or thirty ships were expected the
following day.
