FLANDERS MAIL.

Baussims, DEC. 30.—The King being indisposed, will
not be able to receive the compliments of the season on
New Year's Day.—Monifeur 13elge.
BRUSSELS, DEC. 29.—The Duchess of Nassau, who has
resided for sonie time in Belgium, is going to undertake
a journey to Italy.—Brussels papers, Dec. 30.
CONST•tiIitiOPLE, DEC. 11.—On the 9th instant, in
the morning, numerous salutes of artillery announced the
birth of a princess, who received the name of Muntre
(The Enlightning). She is the Sultan's ninth child, but
only seven are living.
An extremely fine warm autumn was succeeded at the
latter end of last month by stormy weather, which has
not abated till to-day. Numerous disasters have been
the consequence to vassels in these seas, especially to the
coasting vessels in the Black Sea. The service of the
steam .boats, generally so regular, has been interrupted.
The French steamer, which has been expected ever since
the 4th, has not yet arrived. The Stamboul, one of the
vessels of the Danish Steam Navigation Company, was
overtaken on its return from Trebisond by a storm
which damaged its rudder. The danger to which this
vessel was exposed was averted by the courage
and the skill of Captain Elician. The Ferdinand, which
left Smyrna on the 30th of November, arrived in this
harbour three days beyond its time. The Seri Pervas,
which left Braila on the 22d of November, and was ex •
pected back on the 29th or 30th, arrived a week after-
wards, and then without having performed its voyage,
the storm having made it impossible for it to enter the
Danube. The Maria Dorothea was to leave Galacz a
fortnight ago for this city, but has not yet made its ap-
pearance, which gives reason to believe that the Danube
is frozen. The Crescent, from Salonichi, which has been
expected ever since the 7th, has not yet arrived.
TRIESTE, DEC. 22.—The Bora is again raging with
the utmost fury. The navigation is once more inter-
rupted, and even the mails by land arrive very ir-
regularly.

PRESIDENT POLK.—
We are informed from excel-
lent authority, that the present President of the United
States of America is the heir and descendant of our late
worthy and respected Provost Pollock, Polk, or Poko,
of our ancient burgh. Provost Polk discharged the
onerous duties of chief magistrate of this burgh during
the years of the Rebellion 1745 and 1746, with great
credit ; and received for his loyal and patriotic conduct
the thanks of the King's Government. The Provost was
a person of considerable property, and had the influence
to become chief magistrate in opposition to the powerful
family of Faa, or Fall, who, for a period of nearly one
hundred years, swayed the politics of the town. Mr.
Polk died in the year 1752, and his property and effects
came into the possession of his brother Andrew, who
settled in the State of Tennessee, or the southern part of
North Carolina. Although this star of the Western
Hemisphere may never have heard of the Provost of
Dunbar being classed among those who added to his
family influence, still, when he sways the sceptre of
the most powerful nation of the New World, we trust
he will endeavour to render more durable the good
under...tanding between the States and the mother
country, and ever mind Provost Pulk's toast, " May
ne'er war be among us," one familiar to many old inha-
bitants to this day,
as Provost Poke's toast, and the
effects of his experience of " the Chronicle.

The railroad froMllOckerill to Cambridge is fast
progressing. The works are carried on with such dili-
gence as to afford reason for believing, that, with the ex-
ception of a tunnel through Lord l3raybrooke's estate,
the whole line may be opened for traffic in the coming
spring. His Lordship is building a spacious inn and
hotel at the Wendell Arnbo station, a distance of rather
more than a mile from Saffron Walden.—E.csex Herald.
BRITISH Musvuat.—Tuesday the British Museum
was clo,sed, and will remain so till the Bth inst.
General Nott is rather better, though still in a very
weak. Mate. The present severe weather is a great draw-
back on his recovery, but it i 4 PonfidentlY expecteii that
with the return of mild weather his strength will increase.
—The Welshman.

AMSTERDAM, DEC. 27.—The weather is not so
cold as it has been ; the thermometer yesterday (th•
26ih) was, at seven in the evening, at 25 ; and to-:day
(the 27th), at one o'clock, it was at 33.
