.... 412 DUTCM MAIL. BERLIN, DEC. 13.-A half-of f icial paper asserts, that there is no foundation whatever for the report which has been spread, that, in case of war between Russia and Turkey, Prussia is to furnish an auxiliary corps of 30,000 men, or subsidies in the room of it. FRANKFORT, DEC. 14.—The last letters from Vienna are less pacific than the preceding. The general opinion at Vienna is stated to be, that war is inevitable, though some time may still be spent in renociations. The positions of the Russian corps stationed on the frontiers towards Turkey are such, that they naturally induce a belief of war. A letter received from Poland states, that the Russian troops arc con centrated within so narrow a compass, that they cannot remain many weeks in the same position ; they must either advance or retrograde. It is affirmed that the King of Bavaria will make an important communication to the two Chambers, on the opening of their session in the month of Ja nuary. It is supposed to relate to new political connexions between Bavaria and Austria. BausseLs, Dec. 1 9 —The accounts from the sea coast give the most afflicting details of the disastes caused by the tempest which continued with so much violence for several days on the coast of the Nether lands. Some vessels have eseaped with the loss of their anchors, cables, sails, and cargoes; others have been greatly damaged in the 111111, and others have totally perished. Among others, a brig and a koff loaded with wheat, have been foundered off Wan gerog and Borkum, and only two wen of the crew of the last saved themselves. Another brig and a koff perished near Schiermonikoog, and a third brig near the island of Ameland. Seven or eight damaged vessels have been driven on the coast of Delfzyl. A Russian ship of war is stranded near the Vriesche Gat; she has, however, been brought to Zoutkamp, but with the loss of all her masts. The carthagota, Captain G. Kind, bound from Porto Rico to Amster dam, has perished on the Scarhoru. A bottle has been found on the sand near Bottum, containing a letter from this captain, dated the Ist of December, from which it seems that he endeavoured to save himself, with his crew, in the long-boat, but in vain. He writes, that during nine days that the storm continued, he had been three times on the coast of Holland, without being able to obtain a coasting pilot: that at last, on the 30th of November, after having lost the best part of his sails, he arrived in sight of Heligoland, hoping to get into the Elbe the next day, and to procure a pilot, but that the storm having driven him off again during the night, he gave up himself and the crew fur lost, and that in these circumstances he wrote this letter, that those persons who were interested might be informed of his fate. Lastly, accounts from Heligoland of the 27th of November say, that two sloops and two other vessels had succeeded in towing in a three masted vessel which was drifting with the current, and full of water ; it had Swedish colours, and was laden with timber. It is supposed to be the Provi dence, and that the crew escaped on board another vessel near Zanderland, where she first stranded. AMERICAN PAPERS. CHARLESTOWN, Nov. 23.—FROM HAIPANNAH. , On the 1 lth inst. a Spanish line-of-battle ship arrived from Vera Cruz, in 29 days, with specie. He brought the Vice King, Apod-ca, of Mexico, who, in passing the Moro Castle, refused to salute: lie likewise told the officers of the Governor, who went on board for news, that he had no news for them, and would give them nu satisfaction, but treated them very impolitely : he disembarked the day following, and went to Gauagabocoa, where he still remains, without having visited Havannali. Yesterday arrived a corvette from the same place, I with another Vice King, Novella, the successor of Apodaca, by which we learn, that the city of Vera Cruz is at present completely independent. In the Castello (a tort in the buy) there are about 100 sol diers, and about two months' supplies, after which it must inevitably be given up. NEw Yonc, DEC. I.—Wu mentioned a few days since, that a plot had been detected in Havannali for an insurrection among the blacks. By subsequent accounts it appears that they had proceeded so far in the organization of their scheme us to appoint 1. rds and ladies, in futitro! The number lodged in the Moro is thirty, seven of them females. The police of Havantialt, if it ever had a police, is said to be now very vigilant. Bravoes and robbers, the common and ancient pest ot that city, are now to be hunted down: one of them was shot in the streets. We wish success to this new order of things. Personal security has never been the peculiar blessing of the inhabitants of Havantir.h. (Frain the Philadelphia Aurora.) SOUTH A MERICA. The present state of South America merits the particular attention of the American merchant, agri culturist, and manufacturer, A field so vast, and -4t_•N\ otZ' " 'TIE NATIONAL REGISTER --- so abundant in all that can invite the exchanges and the intercourse of mankind, was never before opened to human opportunity, and to none are those oppor tunities of so much consideration as to the people of the United States. Independent of Mexico, which cannot long remain in its present distracted state, the population between the Mexican gulf and the southern bounds of civilization, amounts to nearly 1:2 millions of people, who produce and consume. Mexico exceeds six millions of the same description. There is no production, nor is there any climate, which is not comprehended within the space that we have here noted; for the elevation of that vast range of continent places it above the influence of that heat which, in the same latitudes of Africa and Asia, is uncongenial with wholesome temperature. The establishment of the popular reprensentative system in Columbia decides the cast of government for all America. The central position as that repub lic, its riches, its numerous sea-ports, its more various products, its internal navigation, communicating with both sees, and open to North-East America and Europe, and North-West America and Asia, Peru and Chili will follow the republican regime; La Plata and Mexico will, from a necessity that is too obvious to be mistaken, soon follow in the same track. The American merchant should look about hint in time: it is in the new world he is to find the means of commerce, which can either command or render him independent of the policy or envy of the old. It is in South America that N:aali America will find the permanent mart fur her products of in• dustry and art— , for the employ went of her seamen. The South Americans will not maintain any naval establishment : having within themselves the means of subsisting in abundance and ease, they will be an exporting people; they will indeed receive from other nations whatever may be brought ; but it is in nations where the climate is not prolific, that commercial enterprise is necessary. The same mo tive for enterprise does not exist at Bogota, Mexico, or Lima, for adventuring to the sea, that exists at London, or Amsterdam, or Boston, or New York which, like Athens, Rhodes, Carthage, Genoa, and Venice, had either a steril soil, or no soil; or a cli mate locked up to vegetation half the year: in South America it is perpetual summer. The South Ame ricans will nut exactly imitate the Chinese, but they will in some weasur.i--they will hold intercourse with all nations who shall behave themselves well; but they will avoid entangling alliances, and the perpetual festering disease of diplomacy—they have the keys of universal commerce in their hands—and the United States will find in their ports that em ployment which will mak,i the commerce of all the rest of the world an inferior consideration. FUEXCII I'3PERS. Pants, DEC. 22.—This day, at noon, the King transacted business with his ministers. This being the anniversary of the birth of the Duchess d'Angouleme, her Royal Highness received the congratulations of her family. The Duke and Duchess of Berri paid a visit, with the Duke of Bourdeaux and Mademoiselle. The young Princess recited, with all the ability expected at her age, a compliment to her august aunt. The King of the Two Sieilies, wishing to give to Chevalier Fontenoy, Charge d'Affiiirs of France, an expression of satisfaction, with respect to the conduct he observed during the troubles in Naples, has sent him the decoration of a Commander of the Order of St. Ferdinand. Letters from Barcelona, of' the Bth of December, contain the following details :—" Before the depar ture of Messrs. Pariset, Bally, Francois, and An douard, from Barcelona, those gentlemen answered various questions proposed by our Political Chiefs.— They declared that the character of the malady is the yellow fever—that it is exotic and contagious. — They could not prescribe any efficacious remedy against the contagion. They say the best mode of treatment will not produce any beneficial effect, without a well regulated police of health. The fol lowing is their opinion upon the disorder :—lt is a sort of venom, which attacks the principal interior organs of the life of man, such as the nerves, the heart, stomach, and intestines, which it irritates, mortifies, and paralyses It attacks the rein, and occasions the sharpest pain. They have discovered by opening several bo3ies that a sort of deyot of glut inous oil is formed in that part of the body. The decomposed, dissolves, and evaporate by perspirations. The best remedy known is the Melambo, taken like the Kina." The French Consul at Cadiz wrote, on the 27th of November, the following letter to the Prefect of the Haute Garonne :- 6' I had the honour to announce to you on the Gth of this month that the yellow fever was in ex istence at Port St. Maria, Xeres, Lebreja, San Lucar, Cadiz, and other cities of Andalusia. It was then expected that the approach of winter would put an end to the destructive plague. Unfortunately - :74Z 4i V - ,§1 R_ -. ,___ .4, - , ' # that is not the case, for most of those cities still pre sent the same appearance. Cadiz itself; which only found four or five persons infected, now has fifteen in the hospitals. The communication between Cadiz and other cities is too frequent to hope the disorder will decrease." The Chambers were occupied on \Vednecday and. Thursday with routine business only. Dec. 20.—A woman of Provence named Pattie Caussac, almost sixty,has just been tried for polygamy. This woman had already buried two husbands, and was separated from the third, for whose death sha had not patience to wait to enable her to marry a fourth. She was living with the last when No. 3 found her out to the great surprise of No. 4, who having no wish to retain possession, offered to sur render her. No. 3, however, would not receive her, and she was delivered over to the Court of Assize of Vas, which sentenced her to five years' hard labour, 'lle Duke de Richelieu is gone to his estate of Courted, where the Duchess resides. On Tuesday a hearing took place in the Seventh Chamber of the Correctional Police, of the atlitir of Viscount Montelegier and Colonel Barbier-Dufay. NI. Borneville, the King's Advocate, concluded against M. Dufay fhr fifteen days' imprisonment and 100 francs fine. 'l be tribunal postponed further proceedings to that day se'nnight. In the Sixth Chamber several persons were tried for the publication of a work entitled " Buonaparte, or the Man of Dstitty," preceded by an engraving inscribed—" Itecep' ion of a great Man in the Ely sian Fields." The sentence was one mouth's im prisonment, and a line of 200 francs each. RisA, Nov. 10.—General Yermoloff has at pr 4. • sent no other command than that of the co, ps d'arnice detached to Gergia, which forms a separate inde pendent army, and not one of the corps on the fron tiers of Turkey. Gen. Miloradovitsch continues in the government of Petersburgh, and consequent he has not joined the army, as some of the journals have reported. The Imperial Guard has not advanced to the fron tiers of Turkey, but has only taken up cantonments upon an extended plan in the eastern part of the empire. In case war breaks out, Russia will not have many great movements to make. The different corps &armee arc ranged in echelons, in such a manner that as soon as one corps disap pears in advance another is prepared to take up the same ground. All the army is in a state of prepa ration, and ready to march at twenty-fbur hour:' notice. Carats, Dec. 21. Lambton and Sir R. Wilson are here. They crossed the Channel in an open boat in a tremendous sea. The object in pres sing their dep.ature from Dover was to forward answers to letters from Paris, which were of pecu liar importance. They wait here the arrival of their travelling chariots, and will then proceed to Paris. The storm is now raging—it exceeds in its fury any previous recollection of the oldest inhabi tant. Two vessels have been within the last hour driven on shore on the sands. Great apprehensions are entertained of their being able to survive the hurricane. Dec. Trafalgar Engl6h packet and the French packet Desiree, sailed this morning— They were scarcely an hour from the port, when they encountered a storm of thunder, lightning, and hail. The rumour is general here, that a war between the Russians and Turks is certain. Spain is in commotion in almost every province ; and Italy, at least the Subalpine Provinces, have manifested a determination to renew their eitiirts for ludepend ence. There has been more rain fallen in this kingdom the last six t weeks, than fell in the same period for years past. The wet will injure the grain in the ground it is feared very much ; and the accounts from Ireland arc equally unfavourable, as they are from the low lands of this country. For some clays past the vacillations of the barometer have been quick, irregular, and very extraordinary, occasion ed by the sudden and repeated transitions in the weather. The National Advocate, (a New York paper), of December 1, states that ' Mr. Wallack, bein p`n his way to Philadelphia, was upset in the sta g er Brunswick, by which accident his leg was' broken. The horses it appears ran away, down the hill near New Brunswick, and clashed the carriage to pieces on the bridge. Several passengers were injured like. wise. The accident, serious as it would be to any person, is peculiarly unfortunate to Mr. Wallack.— Just arrived from England, where he left his wife and children, braving every danger to acquire fame and profit in his profession, and in a strange coun try, he meets with an accident which must confine him for a considerable length of time, and deprive him of those facilities which he had reason to calcu late upon. The accident is generally regretted; few strangers possessed more friends than Mr. %% • public and private." . 1 21 1 . 11 !"! "!'!".7.
