FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

Extract of a letter from Cape Town, dated Feb. 9.—" The
whole colony is in great distress at present, which arises from
two causes —first, the total loss (for•the time being) of the value
of all the slave property, which, according to the appraisement
'made under the act otparliament, and transmitted to England
within these few days, amounts to upwards of £3,000,000, of
which I suppose in due time we shall probably receive one-third
from Great Britain, but when we cannot say, and delay and
uncertainty on this point will go a ,„neat way to ruin the colony.
In the second place, from the horde of barbarous and savage
enemies which have recently burst in upon the whole line of the
eastern division of the colony, business of all kinds is at a stand-
still, and none can be done with safety in this. country fora long
time to come:'

VIENNA, March 28.—Letters from Corfu say that much dis-
content prevails on board the Egyptian fleet, because the pay
is in arrear ; it was therefore believed that Mehemet Ali must
have recourse to a loan. The prices of cotton are likely to be
very high this year, unless the stock ih hand is considerable, for
there is reason to fear that the crops will not be good. This
would be a very unwelcome circumstance for the Egyptian go-
vernment, and might the more induce the viceroy to contract
a foreign loan. The French ambassador, Count St. Aulaire,
who arrived yesterday, has had to-day an audience of the
Emperor.

The Prussian State Gazette of the 2d instant states, that on the
28th ult. the King received in private audience Prince Schwart-
zenburg, who communicated officially the death of the late
Emperor Francis 1., and the accessioti to the throne of his
son Ferdinand. On the 31st his Majesty received in private
audience Count Von Trautsmansdorff Weinsberg, who delivered
his credentials as extraordinary ambassador and plenipotentiary
of Austria to the court of Prussia.

The Augsburg Gazette of the 4th inst. has the following from
Belgrade of the 23d tilt::—" A disturbance has broken out with-
in these few days ou the Servian frontiers, near Nisch and
Lescowacz, between the christian inhabitants and the Turkish
proprietors, the latter of whom had been guilty of acts of vio-
lence against the former. The Turks had the worst of the fray.
Prince Milosch, who had transferred the seat of government
from Kragogeva to this capital, has arrived."—'The Gazelle
quotes the funds at Vienna on the 30th ult.,—Metallics 5 per
Cent. 1011, 4 per Cent. ditto 95k, Bank Actions 1,327.
The Suabian Mercury has the folloiving from Berlin of the
30th ult:—"Negociations are in progress fora general disarm-
ing, and especially with regard to Holland and Belgium. A
subject of much conversation with us is the intended: reduction
of our military force, both as to the number of the regiments
and as to furloughs granted without pay. The number of tin-
der functionaries in the government offices will also be dimin-
ished. It is confidently asserted that a monarchical congress
will take place, in order to renew the alliance of 1815, which
will not be held this time in the Castle of Furstenstien, but in
the city of Kalisch, where the Emperors of Russia and Austria
and the King of Prussia will meet after the 'manceuvres in Si-
lesia. Invitations to the same effect„ have been received by the
Members of the Germanic Confederation.. The failure in the
potato crops, especially in the Lithuaniin. circle, has caused
great distress among the poor,
.whp are reduced in a great dc-
greelo eat acorns. 'Associations are being formed all over the
country for the relief of the sufferers."
A letter from Brunswick, under date of the 31st of March,
states that on the previous day the meeting of the states-gene-
ral for a ten days' session had• been ultimately decided upon
by the following decree :—" William, &c.—The actual business
connected with the functions of the chambers requires an im-
mediate settlement. We, therefore, direct our faithful states
shall assemble on the 6th of April next, in order to resume and
conclude the public business; we have further determined that
the session shall close on Thursday, the 16th of the same
month."
BERLIN, March 28.—1 t is said that the king will not go to
Topaz this year, but to some bath in Silesia. The intended
grand review makes this probable. The magnificent castle of
Furtenstien is already preparing for the reception of a very
great number of distinguished guests, as it will be the head-
quarters and the centralpoint.of the whole. It is supposed that
a great number of staff officers will be put on the retired list
this year, on the ground of economy. P. is reported that the
long-cherished wish of the provinces to have a prince of the
royal family resident in them will shortly be gratified. Prince
Frederick, now at Dusseldorf, will be governor-general of Po-
merania. and be succeeded at Dusseldorf by Prince Albert.
Prince Charles will go to Prussia.
