CHRISTIANIZE, DECEMBER sm.

The ((Octal Gazette of the 24th published in its
Supplement a notice, signed " B. J. Rulfirs, of Ber-
gen,". containing the most serious accusations of the
conduct of the Captain H. C. Mauzelmann, of the
Dutch vessel which had on board 500 German emi-
grants, 9cl which put into Bergen. He observes,
that this Manrehnann, proud of having served four
years as officer during the time of Napoleon, is a man
of the worst character, who insults the Magistrates
and-private persons ; that the examination of the wit-
nesses, which is suspended but not terminated, gives
the strongest presumption that he had the intention
to get rid of all these poor people, in order to inherit
from them what he could not obtain in any other
manner. He accuses him of being the cause of the
death of above 100 passengers : he hopes, from the
magnanimity of the King, of the Crown Prince, and
of the Norwegian Government, who on this occasion
have given fresh proofs of their humanity and bene-

ficence, that they will cause a strict scrutiny to be
made into the conduct of this Captain.
A letai from Cluißinna, of the 28th of Deeetn-
ber, says, " We have reeeived here the melancholy-
newi, that the day after thristmanday a terrible fire
broke out in the frontier fortress of Frvderickshall,
which reduced thirty-twnhonses to ashes. It is thought
that the fire was the effect of design, because it broke
out at mice at the two extremities of the town. On
one side it was speedily extinguished, and a large
quantity of combustible matter was found collected."
In the course of last year there passed through the
Sound 13,148 vessels, viz. 6,00 from the Baltic, and
6,758 from the North Sea : among the latter were,
2,038 English, 1,04.4 Swedish, 470 Norwegian, 917
Prussian, 695 Dutch, 463 Danish, 212 Hanoverian,
11 Bremen, 42 Hamburgh, 160 Mecklenburg, 197
Russian, 68 American, and 22 French vessels.

No Paris Journals were published on Thursday last,
that day being set apart for the expiatory ceremony
for the Death of Louts XVI. A private letter which
we have received, gives the following particulars of
this ceremony :

" ST. Dins, Thursday, Two &Clock,

" The solemn ceremony on occasion of the Anni-
versary of the Death of Louis XVI. has just finished.
" The Cathedral, where the ashes of the Royal sof-
`firer and his unfortunate Queen are deposited, was
opened at nine o'clock. The whole of the interior
was hung with black. In the Royal box were the Du-
chesses of Angonleme and Barry, and underneath
them sat Count D'Artois, and the Dukes of Angou-
leme, Berry, and Orleans. 'ale King was not present,
but engaged at his devotions in the Chapel Royal of
the Thuilleries.

" The service commenced at half-past ten o'clock,
and was rendered particularly impressive by the toll-
ing of the great bell, and the firing of minute guns,
during the whole of its continuance. At the con-
clusion the Testament of the King was read, and,
agreeably to the order of the Court, without any
comment. A funeral pile, erected in the centre of
the Cathedral, presented this simple inscription, being
the words pronounced by Abbe Edgeworth at the
scaffold—' Son of Louis, ascend to Heaven r

" The external front of the Church was also hung
with black, on which appeared the representation of
a Pyramid, surmounted by a figure of Faith pointing
to a Crown.. In the centre, under an hourglass,- was
the following inscription—' Nemo comoveat ossa
The crowd, both within and without the Cathedral,
was immense. A great many English were present."

A private letter of recent date, which we have seen
from a respectable Gentleman at Calcutta, states.
that considerable difference of opinion prevails as to
the permanence of tranquillity in the Upper Pro-
vinces, but that as yet appearances were rather fa-
vourable to it. Trade had become duller at this Pre-
sidency than it had been known for a long time;
freights were low,money scarce, and speculation nearly
at a stand. • The mission to the Pegu and Ava people,
had not turned out so successful as was expected
indeed, but little hope is entertained of any good
being at this time effected by it. The new Church
of St. Andrew was to be opened on the SOth of No-.
vember, being St. Andrew's Day.

The following letter gives an interesting description
of the success of the mission to the capital of the
Ashantees, which the African Company dispatched
with a view to reconcile certain differences which had
existed, and to establish a friendly intercourse with
that kingdom :

" Cape Coast Castle, October 20, 1817.
" You will, no doubt, wish to hear something of
the success of our mission into the interior. The Of-
ficers sent up were, Messrs. James, Bowdich, Hut-
chison, and Tedlie (surgeon). Some misunderstand. ,
ing arose, and it was agreed that the command de-
volved on M. Bowdich, who has, by his address and
ability, conducted the mission to a happy conclusion,
having entered into a Treaty with the Kings of Ash-
antee and Dwabin, and left Mr. Hutchison resident
at the capital of Cormacie. This event had laid open
a fair field for extensive future intercourse n ith the
interior of Africa. Mr. BoWdich speaks in the most
favourable terms of the reception given them by the
King of Ashantee, and of his general conduct to
them, during their stay, which lasted six months.
He says to me—, Anxious, as it is natural to suppose
I was, to return to Cape Coast ; I do assure you that,
I shook hands with the man for the last time, with
much regret:—Of the Officers who came over by (Nor
last store-ship, Messrs. Phillip (Chaplain) and Mor-
gan Jones (a writer) are dead. Africa will soon, I
trust, afford matter of curiosity and of real impor-
tant information."

The Treaty concluded with the Kings of Ashantce
and Dwabin is to the following effect :
" There shall be perpetual peace between the contracting pr-
ties. The same shall also exist between all the subjects of the
two Kings, and the people residing under the protection of ths
Company ; and all disputes and claims now existing shall be con-
sidered as terminated and annulled. Incase of aggression on the
part of the natives under the Company's protection, the King
shall complain thereof to the Governor-in-Chief to obtain redress,
and hostilities shall in no case be resorted to without endeavour-
ing to effect an amicable arrangement. A British Officer shall
reside constantly at the Ashantee Capital, for the purpose of
1 communicating with Cape Coast Castle. The two Kings pledge
themselves to countenance, promote, and encourage, the trade of
their subjects with Cape Coast Castle and its depenskncies to the
extent of their power. The Governors of the British Forts to'
r afford protection to such subjects of the two Kings as may resort
to the water aide. Slight offences committed by Ashanter sub..
jects, while on the coast, to be punished by the British Governor,
but for the greater crimes the offenders to be punished according
to his law. The Kings agree to commit their children to the
are of the Governor-in-Chief, for education at ('ape Coast
Castle, in full confidence of the good intentions of the British
Government, and, the benefits to be derived therefrom. The
Kings engage to direct diligent inquiries to be made after Major
Pinion: and Captain CAMP1111.1:1 missions, and to influence and
oblige the ffeighbourtng kingdoms and their tributaries to be-
friend them, as the subjects of the British Govermueut."
