FRONI Tme FRONTIERS OF POLAND. MAY O.

According to the accounts given by travellers, sentence has al-
ready been passed by the Section of the Russian Senate, aeking as a
high Court of Justice, on many of the persons arrested at Schlussel-
bergh and St. Petersburgh, for having been concerned in the revolt
of 26th Decernher last year, who have been condemned to death.
It is even added, that the sentence has already been executed on
some of them, among whoa are the two Kuchelbeckers ; but the
accounts add such very singular particulars, that we may justly hesi-
tate to place entire confidence in them. According to other state-
ments, however, there is reason to believe tkat the punishment of
death will be mitigated by the Emperor to banishment.
FROM THE LOWER ELBE, MAY 23.

A report is this moment spread, which, if it should be confirmed,
would be attended with important consequences to the trade of
Hamburgh and Bremen. This report is to the following effect :
That the Prussian Government, seeing the perseverance of the Go-
vernment of the Netherlands in its refusal to desist from its preten-
sions to impose arbitrary shackles on the navigation of the Rhine,
has resolved to use measures of retaliation; that accordingly an ex-
tremely high import duty on all goods doming from Holland, and
going up the Rhine, will prevent their importation by this channel,
for the supply of a great part of Western Germany ; and this market
would then he obliged to be furni.hed through the German sea-ports
on the Ninth Sea.
Tt it even affirmed that this measure will be tarried into effect on
the lit of July, unless the Government of the Netherlands should
resolve before the expiration of this time, which is peremptorily

fixed, trimake the concessions required in a diplomatic note lately I
presented to it.
BERLIN, MAT to, •
The half °Medal article in the Harnburglt Paper, by which we
were Ott made acquainted with the particulars of the punishment
of theauthors and accomplices of the treasonable " Society of the
Youtb'" is ascribed to Privy Counsellor V. K.
The public is very anxious for the announced sentence on the
Members of the " Society of Men," especially because Lieutenant
Colonel Y. D—, who has been for above a year unUer arrest at
Copenick, is said to have given important information in this inves-
tigation. The greater part of the condemned Members of the
" Society of the Youths," began to undergo their puniihment (c=n-
finement and hard labour) immediately on the close of the pro-
ceedings last year.

All the accounts from Cuba represent Spain as col-
lecting a force there, but whether with a view to rntect
the island, which has been menaced by the Mexicans,
or to attempt to regain a footing in South America,
does not appear. The following is an extract from the
New York American of the 10th of May, which has
been received at the North and South American
Coffee House :

LIAVANNAII, Aran. 26.
Since my last, the only thing new is the arrival of a Spanish ship
of war, the Laffino, front Cadiz, having on board three Brigadier-
Generals for the garrison, which at present is very large—much to
the astonishment of every enlightened person here, one of them is a
black man, who rendered essential service in Peru, but the Captain-
General, no doubt, will nut permit hint to take the command of a
Brigade, even of the black troops here. It is even whispered hr
will be sent back. The Spanish squadron, a 74, and five large
frigates, were still at St. Jago de Cuba, and it is rumoured, destined
for the Main ; which, if so, will be declared in a state of blockade.
