HANIEURGH MAIL.

A Mail from Hamburgh has also arrived, and
brings the lullowing articles;

HAMIAIRGII, )1M! I.
The disturbances excited by want of provisions
lately, extended to some places where the Danish can-
tonments ale, and a patrole sent to maintain orde
was insulted. Prince Frederic immediately took such
'measures that the o sti.rturs of public tranquillity
will hardly be tempted to renew such excesses. The
French Authorities complsoned that this was an in-
tringement of their rights, &c.; but the Duke 01
Wellington has fully approved of the measures taken,
and has signified as much in a letter to the Prince,
whose rigour has pr .duced tl.e more effect, as the
Trench, who had hitherto had occasion to know the
Prince to be a model of kindness, by no means ex-
pected it.
CONSTANTINOPLE, MAY 29.

Mehmed Aly I'acha continues his monopoly in
Egypt with great insolence and cupidity, to the great
detriment, not only of the European merchants, but
at the navigators of all nations, and even of this
city, which attributes to his sordid traffic the extraor-
dinary scarcity of rice which it, experiences at this
moment. This circumstance might become very se-
rious, as rice is not only one of the principal articles
of food of the inhabitants of this capital, but in the
next fast of Ramadon is absolutely indispensable.--
If the scarcity of this article continues, great troubles
will inevitably take place among the people. Some
mouths ago Mehmed Aly Pasha obtained hom mer-
chants of all the European nations, the sum of four
thousand purses, in advance upon contracts for corn,
but when the annual arrivals of 90,1100 Esdeb came
from Rosette to Alexandria, the Paella allowed the
Europeans to load only the smallest part on board
their vessels, which were waiting fur it. The other,
and by tar the largest part, he stopped for his own
accounr without regard to the fulfilment of his en-

gagementi, or to. the money he had-received, and
still less, as one may suppose, to the complaints of
those who were injured.

The covetous Pacha takes advantage also of the
war against the Wechabites to enrich himself partly
by means of the great expense which it occasions,
and still more to favour his monopoly. His son
Ki,ij‘ Ibrahim carries on the war very slowly; but,
we must, however, take into account the :t1 cull of
penetrating through sandy desarts to the almost in-
accessible capital of the Sectaries. The last action
was fought in December last year, at Kunkle beyond
Medina, with one of the rebellious Arab Hordes.
The Turks were •ictorious ; a great many Arabs
were killed, 1,000 camels, 5,000 sheep, and all the
baggage were taken. The neighbouring hordes sub-
mitted,- only one retired into the desarts.

• On the 12th instant, the squadron destined to cruize
this year in the Archipelago, set uil. It consists of
two corvettes and a pltey.

From the Paris Papers of Monday, there appears
to have been a considerable tumult at Strasburg on
the Ist instant, in the course pf which the National
Guards were grossly insulted. Several of the rioters
were arrested.

The Duke of RICHELIEU has addressed a letter to
the Chapter of Toulouse, requesting their assent to a
plan for restoring the Church of France to as much
of its ancient splendour as possible, by creating new
Sees and establishing some of the most ancient. The
Chapter immediately agreed to the measure as far as
it might affect their jurisdiction.

Yesterday morning Earl Pown :caned upon the
PRINCE REGENT, at Carlton House, to announce the
melancholy tidings of the death of the Duke of
