BRUSSELS. MAY 12.---4 he average price of wheat
last week was 23f. 43c. ; that of rye 13f. 10c. The
Brussels papers contain long accounts of the conflagra-
tion at Hamburgh, in letters from that city, as well as
from Bremen and other places. -
13aEmEN,' MAY B.—The Senate of Bremen has just
met to consider of means to assist the unfortunate city
of Barnburgh.
THREE O'CLocx, r.m.—The number of fugitives in-
' crease, The Senate has decided that our troops shall
.be sent with all speed to Hamburgh, and all our car-
,,riages are put in requisition to
.convey assistance and
provisions. . Thousands of unhappy beings have been
Wandering for these two days in the streets, unable to
find shelter, they having lost their all, and perishing from
Want and misery. It is feared the number of persons who
have lost their lives must be frightful. Groups of half
naked women and children, holding up their hands to
Heaven, and imploring consolation and help, which no
human power can give them.
FRANKFORT, MAY 10.—It• is reported that news from
liamburgh has been:received, hich is more favourable.
But we must now think of affording it immediate help,
• for its misfortunes are immense. The fire continued till
tne Bth, in the evening, and 30,000 passed the night on
the ramparts.
A banker of this city has received by Estaffette news
that the Bank of Hamburgh has resumed its operations.
PRANHPORT MAY 11.—The Senate had fixed the sum
which it proposed to take from the public treasury as a
gift to the city of Hamburgh at 25,000 florins, but the
representatives of the citizens and the legislative body
leas raised the sum to 100,0001. florins (about 10,0001.)
ANTWERP, MAY 13.—The enormous losses caused by
,•. the dreadful conflagration at Hamburgh have already
excited, wherever the news has reached, the public
sympathy and generosity. The Cologne Gazette has
opened
a subscription at its office, to which, in a few
MThe inutes 4,000 francs were contributed by 150 persons.
ndelshlad, at Amsterdam, and several Brussels
Journals, offer to receive subscriptions, and we (the
Journal du Commerce d'Anvers) have been solicited by
several persons to receive subscriptions at our office. We
doubt not that Antwerp, as a commercial city, must par-
; titularly sympathise with Hamburgh, and will not be
behind Frankfort, Cologne, Amsterdam, and Brussels ;
•
other subscriptions will soon be opened, to afford
sodine•relief to distresses so deplorable and so extreme.
~We this moment learn that a subscription is opened at
- .'" Banseatic Consulate.
• The fresh subscriptions received on 'Change by the
dnseatie Consul and those at the office of the Journal
~,Commerce d'Anvers, already exceed 20,000 francs.
111 HAGUE, AIAY 11.—In consequence of the favour-
able accounts which continue to be received of the health
I°lshin Majesty King William Frederick, Count of Nassau,
Majesty his given orders that the public prayers for the
entire recovery of. the aged,Prince shall be accompanied
With thank •• • to Almighty God for having preserved
his life. sgiving-
• • AMSTERDAM Max 12.—Our accounts from burghHam-
are up to Saturday evening. •
AMSTERDAM, MAY 12. The William the First
ilStealDer which has been so impatiently expected, not
yet arrived, we can ,give no later accounts from
'zaniburgh. Many letters have been communicated to
and the Belgian and German papers are, indeed, full
apt nave
r details, but, as may be supposed, none later than we
. riceived.
AMSTERDAM, MAY 13.—The Ilandelsblad contains an
d"rattlest address, imploring all those who are able imme-
oe,;`, ely to do their utmost to relieve the thousands of
ti; tersons reduced to misery by the destruction of Ham-
); -), • iirgh. All gifts that may be left at the office of the
Qtitate per will be immediately made over to the competent
atnhurgh authorities.
It is feared that none of the Insurance Companies will
.?# 'able to satisfy, the claims upon them. Besides the
thinburgh Companies, the following are said to have in-
aurances upon the m to a large amount. The Sun and
Phoenix at London. The Companies at Gotha, Aix-
la-Chapelle, Minich, Elberfeld, and Cologne.
BERLIN, MAY 11.—From the Prussian State Gazette—
all Frederick William, King of Prussia, &c., &c., to
to whom these present come greeting. By the in-
scrutable decree of God, the city of Hamburgh has been
destroyed by a fire, such us there has been none in Ger-
, Many within the memory of man.
,“ The dreadful misery and distress of that city whose
Prosperity is so intimately connected with Germany, will,
we confidently expect, be felt throughout the whole
ef our German fatherland, and especially by our faith-
:llmi f°, lour
subjects as a general misfortune. In order, there-
t.fare, to afford our faithful subjects an opportunity of
,manifesting.anifesting their sympathy by deeds ; and con-
it;aidering the extraordinary extent of the disaster, we
I,4l.mhave ordered that in all the communes of our dominion,
"'ltter # general collection shall be made in all the churches,
and from house to house, for the relief of the sufferers
by the fire at Hamburgh, and our Minister of the Inte-
-1
4.a, her, and of Ecclesiastical Affairs are to see to the exe-
"ni„ cution of this ordinance.
