HAMBIJItGH MAIL, &c. -

Mails from Hambur gh, Holland, and Flanders,
arrived last night. The following are extracts :
nnusszt.s, Nov. ]B.—This morning the Empress of Russia
went in great sti:tc in a carriage drawn by six horses to the
King's Palace, tp compliment the Queen on her birth-day.
The deliverer of Portugal and Spain, the Hero of Water lo
the Duke of Wellington, is arrived within our walls, as well
as a great many Generals and superior Officers of different
nations. For many years past, Brussels has nrat been so
brilliant and so animated as at this moment.

BRUSiELS, Nov. 19.—The fete yesterday evening was
more splendid than the first, it was favoured by weather
quite extraordinary for the season, and the greatest part
of the population of the city thronged the streets. An
affecting scene took place in the midst of the fete, and will
be long remembered here. The Emperor Alexander, after
having danced with his august Mai her, threw himself into
her arms, and embraced her several times, with that respect
and tenderness which the sincerest filial piety alone can
inspire. It is impossible to express the lively and affecting
emotions which this unexampled circumstance excited in the
hearts °fall those who had the happiness to witness it. The
Emperor of Russia retired at midnight. The King and Queen
withdrew half an huur after hint, without partaking of the

supper.
The King of Prussia is not yet arrived. The horses which
were placed at the post station at Cottenberg have been coun-
termanded and sent back. We arc ignorant when his Ma-
jesty- will arrive.

The arrest of several persons, mostly foreigners, is still the
sob.;ect of every conversation, and singularly excites the pub-
lic attentioo. If we were to repeat all the reports that cir-
culate on this subject, horror and indignation would be ex-
cited in tine highest degree. The whole is so obscure, that it
would be imprudent to hazard a conjecture o❑ so delicate a
subject, which will probably be soon cleared up.

MotcmouTH.—ln pursuance of Resolutions, the
Burgesses of Monmouth have applied to the Court
of King's Bench, in support of their right to elect
their own Magistrates. 011 Wednesday week, a
motion was made by Mr. SCARLETT, and rules
were grunted against the present acting Mayor
and Bailiffs, to show cause why informations, in
the of Quo tVarranto, should not be exhi-
bited against them, requiring them to state by
what authority they claim those offices.

GLASGOW COLLEGE.—The re-election of a
Rector for the second year is so much a mat-
ter 0. course in our University, that there is
,eldom any contest on such an occasion, Ito w-
,,ver eager the parties many have been the
preceeding year. The election on Monday,
however, formed an exception to the general
.•ustom, there being a very keen run against
the present Rector, the Earl of Goisoow, by
o' students, who wished to confer:" that ho-
i!onr iMr. FiNLAY. The four nations (or
classes in which the students are arranged, fie.
cording to the places of their birth) divided
cqq4lly, two of them, the Transforthana
Rothseyana voting for the Earl pf G LAS-
Cow and the t_ilottiana and Loudoniana for
Mr. FINLAY. In cases of equality, it is provided
by the statures that the preceding Rector, or in
hi, absence the Vice-Rector, gives the casting
vote—atid upon the present occasion the Vice-
Rector gave his vote for the Earl of GLASGOW.

Monday last arrived in this city, illeerza Jadfar
and Meerza &Wilt, two of the distinguished
rusonages who were sent into this country
fillet, years since, by Abbas Meerza, the reigning
Pt lace of Persia. On Tuesday they viewed our
Cathedral and the County Gaol ; the sublime and'
beautiful architecture of the holy pile, appeared to
impress them with reverence for its, pious use ;
their visit to the Gaol was highly gratifying to
their attendants, these distinguished foreigners mi-
nutely inspected every thing which directed to
then notice; and on leaving the building, said
all appeared to he conducted on the princtple of
humanity and cleanliness. They expressed a wish
that their own country possessed such an ex-
cellent est.ablishment. On IVednesday they
visited the Cloth Manufactory of Alessi's. Davis,
Beard, and Davis ; on Timrsday our Shire-
Hail, and the Pin Manufactory of MeFsrs. Dunn-
ford and Co. The malting of pins seemed to
afford them high gratification, which was join-
cawed by the employment of so many poor
people of all ages. They left us on Friday, billy
imprvssed with the importance of the runny valu-
able institutions we possess, and highly gratified
,nth the polite attentions they had received.—
(Gloucester Herald, Nov. 21 )
Tie Sultan KATTEGIRRY, well known in the
religious wet Id as the Tartar Prince, who, a few
years ago, became a convert to the Chrisian
faith, has for some time resided in Edinburgh,
and is now on a visit at Dllllshillilfle House. He
attended and received the Sacrament of the Lord's
Supper in the middle Church of Perth on Sab-
bath last. He is about 28 years of age, and has
an extremely interesting appearance. His coun-
tenance is mild and expressive—his manners
modest and amusing—and his conversation ra-
tional and manly. He speaks the English lan-
guage with remarkable fluency.

A dish of green peas was last week gathered in
a garden at Shepton-Mallet ; and there is at pre-
sent growing in the same garden, on a vine, a
sAcond crop of grapes, now as large as peas.
Saturday a private belonging to the Ist Regi-
ment of Guards, for disposing of his necessaries,
received 300 lashes in the 'hit-yard. This is the
fourth time of punishment within these 6 months ;
he has been only one year in the regiment, and
enlisted from the Marines.

A most severe satire on the Parisians, and on
the prevailing mania for living in France, is said
to he on the point of appearing. It is entitled
" THE ENGLISIINIAN IN PARIS," and is written,
we understand, by a young than of fashion, who
has incidentally detailed his own adventures, as
well as those of several of his acquaintance,
during their residence in that emporium of splen-
dour, vice, and folly,
