Foreign News Snippet From Vienna To Canada
The Frankfort and other German papers report no major political news. Dispatches from Leghorn describe free port advantages, rapid city growth, and grain stock figures. Vera Cruz talks center on Santa Anna as a potential emperor with a cautious reform stance, plus cholera and military moves. Bermuda and Havannah notes cover officials and duties on flour. Nassau reports the Nimble seizure of a slave ship. Luxemburgh talks with the Duke of Nassau. Belgian papers focus on iron crosses. New York to Liverpool packets bring Lower and Upper Canada cholera, trade revival, ash and grain prices, with a House of Commons committee report on Lowes Canada not pleasing both sides.
