GENERAL INTELLIGENCE

Tut: Sottsn Dues.-—A private letter from‘ Alton:i mentions, that the Danisli Govcrtt_uto.nt has notv lost all hope of bring- ing anything like it conference together oti the subject of the Sound does. The Go- vernment is described in this lettcrasin the gretttcst t-inliarrasstncnt and disunion its to the course to he pursued towards the flag of the United States, on its lir-it at- toinptiiig to pass Kronborg, duty free, after the oxpiratioti of the present treaty. It is ntittii-ally ennui‘-___rli ft.-tired, that the attempt, if succcsslhl, will he imitrttcd by other nations, and the example become widely contzi,-;iQus. It is allirnicd, that the Danisli atttlinritiés have at last deliberated upon the plain of letting the Al'ncl‘lCtlltS tlirough uiitnolostcd, but of ltct.-ping an accotint tigziinst them for prcsciiiation, when the subject oftlic Sniiitl (lites shall have been atljustctl.

was on hortrd the vessel which conveyed the iiitelligciicc, they were still in the dark. Tliottgli they had suffered some anxiety from it poor yam harvest, they had a good stock of sweet potatoes to turn to, and the "pinch of the year” was past. Tlit-y were awaiting the measures of o- vernment for their transfer to Norfolk Is- land, sonic having relinquished liousc-build- ing in c.\'pcatzition ofthis important change. It ftppt-!ilt'S, by accounts from Sydney, that Sir. VV. Di.-nison, Governor ol' New South Wales, had, in September last, under in- structions from home, despatched a vessel to Pitcairn’s Island, with a view of making arttngemcnts. It was intended that, on her return to Sidney, a transport should be lit- ted out, for the purpose of conveying the islanders to their new and beautiful abode. All cars would be taken in the manner of accomplishing the object which they them- selves have sought to attain, ttrid every rc- spcct paid to. their admirable principles and exemplary ways. I\Ir. Nobbs stated, that the church aml school were well attended. His eldest son, Reuben, had died of an attack on the lungs, the youth having returned frotn Valparaiso, where he lied held a incr- cantile situation, to die among his family and be buried on his native island. Much unanimity prevailed among the people.

New BURNSWICK, Fenruuitr 6tli.—'I‘he Hon. C. Fislit.-r. Attorney-General, has returned from hismission to England, and we are happy to say, if the rcporttt in cir- culation urc to be credited, tlittt he has been cnnplctcly sticccssful, having arrang- ed with the delinquent ﬁrm of Messrs, Pt-.to_. Brzissy Bolts, and also obtained assurances ofn sulliciciit supply oftnoncy, on l’rovint:ia| security, to carry into effect the railway policy of the Government. This is extremely grntifyiitg intelligence ;

but it will be time enough to rely upon it when we hear sometliitig tnore deﬁnite from the gentleman himself. The Exe- ctitive Council is now in session at Fre- dericton, and we therefoie presume the facts will soon be known.

A l’ni-:ct:m:tv'r roit Russi.t.——A letter from Vienna, tlatcd Jan. 2d, published in the Constitutionnel, says:

“ As tnuch as has been said about the dignity of the crowti of the Czar, I will mention it cost: in which the two first tia- val powers in the world did not tltink it It derogation frotn their national dignity to reciprocally adopt, tinder sitnilar cir- ctitristiiiicos, the arrniigcmcnt tvliicli the allies of the 2d of December have just presented to Russia for the solution of the 3d .‘.{lltlt‘€lt‘tlCe.”

The writer then alludes to the arrange- ments come to between Great Britain and America oti the subject of the navigation of the river St. Lawrence and the upper lakes, and by which those two powers were reciprocally intcrdicted from having vessels of war on any of the lakes, the waters of which washed the territory of

This is what Count Valentine Esterliazy is particularly charg. ed to impress on the Russian Cabinet, in explaining the tinulterable interpretation which the Western Powers have decided on attaching to the system of neutrality of the Black Sea."

According to the Albany Evening Jour- nal “ the number of men killed in the wars is over (?) 300,000 ! Seventy-three bottles have been fought, and no such bloody record has been presented in any year since the days of Waterloo.”
