, GERMAN PIPERS. MENTZ, AUGUST 9. On the 111 of this month the Deputies of the Seven States Upon the Rhine, who have met here to regulate the new organization and administration of the navi gation of the Rhine, e:citanged their full powers. and according to the directions of the Congress at Vienna, formally constittited themselves as Central Committee for this piirpo.e. The 'M.:tubers of this' Committee are. for 11,iden, the Privy Conneillor rf Legation Von Mussig ; 114vatiA, Councillor Von Nau ; France, the Conservator of the Eastern fron tiers of France, Mr. Flersinger ; Hesse, the Secretary of Legation Pit.,ch - ; Nassau, the Coon:ollnr of Do mains Rossler ; Netherlands. Mr. Vr , n Bmitcourt, Member of the Board of Trade and C-lonies ; anl for Prussia. the President Jacobi. According to the directions of the Act of Congress, the llres!d•-tit for the current month was elected by lit, .4n..1 the S tete tary of the Committee by the vote. T:w first tell on the Bavarian Commisioner Von Nan ; and Mr. I'itsch, the Hessian Commissioner, was unanimously elected to the latter office. Tbus one of the most liberal conceptions of the Congress will be carried into effect. CARLSRUHE, AUGUST e. Yesterday afternoon, at five o'clock, a tempest from the south-west passed over this city, accotnpa vied by such a storm of wind as was hardly ever re membered. A great quantity of tiles were tht own from the houses, sentry boxes removed from their 'daces, the strongest trees uprooted. We do not know bow far the ravages of this terrible storm may have extended. FRANKFORT, AUGUST S. The protests against the sudden acceptance of the Constitution of Frankfort multiply. The Nobility protest against the abolition of their privileges The Jews remonstrate against their exclusion from poli tical rights. The College of the Citizens, or of tiityete, disapproves of the balance of power fixed by the Constitution, and by which this College, as trill as the Legislative Assembly, have very little au• tl,ority, whereas the Senate has in its hands not only the whole executive and administrative power, but alscea part of the legislative and juJicial powers.— Lastly, the Catholks protest against the restrictiuns ;ider which they are admitted to the eejoement of political rights—they say that the equality of the three comartinioas, is a condition which the High Allies have expressly attached to the litres ty which they have graciously granted to the city of Frankfort. It, not withstanding the ciearly prneouticed will of the 1 Powers, the real or pretended majtnity of use iu h intents has violated the rights of the minority, by the Calst:tution adopted, tie! have no resource hut to appeal to the High Germanic Diet, which alone has tix sigit to make a definitive decision. The Senate dues acst suffer itself to be stopped in its course. An arrete, published by virtue of the new Consti. tetion, prescribes the electien of a Committee of 51 citizens to proceed to the r °ruination of a new College of Electors, cogrposed of three divisions. The seve ral perties who have prowsted against the Constitu tion tale no share in these elections, which they con sider as 'eyelid. The Palace of the Prince of Tours and Taxis has been fired up at the exprese of t!:e Austrian Govern. ment tar the Sittings of the Diet; workmen are now actively employed in decorating the interior; in the sequel, however, it is probable that the Sittings of this Assembly will be removed to the Getman house at Sacheenhausen, which is of far greater extent. The expense, however, of putting this magnificent pile in repair wield be very great ; the plan is said to have Men already laid before the Emperor of Austria.— The opening of the Diet will attract a great many strangers hither. A great many apartments are al reedy hired ter this time in the Inns. Many English families are now here, who seem, indeed, to have come to the Continent from motives f economy. To-d.iy (July 26) the bonds to the amount of 50 millions of &wins created in 1813, by the three high Powers, but which have never been in circulation, are to be burnt in the presence of the Commissioners appointed by the three Courts.—(/ I:gearing Litung, stust .5.) AUGUST B.—The Prince and Princess of Orange were at Weimar on the bth, and are expected here tO.MOTIOW• Fleid•MAlrdiAl Prince Blucher is arrived, in very good health, at Dobien au. His Royal Highness the Grand Duke of Mechlenburg Schweren has assigned him an apartment in his Palace. FROM THE RII:Nt, JULY SOL A very long article under this head, in the Alpe:eine 7.,it sou of 3d, 4th, and sth August, depicts tee pre sent state of France. It is neither the theatre of con- Ind sines and :roubles, as the Englisli Opposition Papers and Belgic patty Journals represent, nor the peacelul happy , Eden. whinh most of the French and some of the German Papers would make us suppose. The writer then blames the epnstraint under which fte press is kept in France, and thinks if it were re rhoved men of talent would be found to defend the cause of truth against the misrepresentations of both parties. These measures, which look like a continua tion of N Ipoleon despotism, arc not necessary for the present Government to maintain itself. The King is a man of a noble way of thinking, who sincerely wishes the happiness of the people, and is personally averse to all arbitrary violations of the liberty of the citizens. Molt of the inhabitants of France are un doubtedly devoted to him, and it would depend on the Chiefs of the different Miniiterial departments, • particularly the Chief Minister, to *rake the Consti tutional party wholly attached to him, which partly contains the most respectable citizens. and the most enlightened ; but this party demand legal freedom, and the trice observance of the Charter under the protecti , n of the King, because it is calc*lated to make France happy notwithstanding its defects, whisk may be amended in the sequel. The present Ministry contains the elements of such. a re-union with the Constitutional party. The finances present a great difficulty, the necessary sums to satisfy the Allies must be procured, unlesi they will run the risk of hawing cessions of territory demanded. Public opinion is divided; neither so unfaveurable to the • teoverionirat as most of the English and Belgic_Pe Fen say. nor so as the French Journals represent. — Ile desire of repose is prevalent ia the majority of the FrvQcb, and they are heartily tired of all the troubles Eta small 'but the to ijority will trnt Ve: trounce all the advantages of the Revolution. If the Government secure these it may depend on the peoples but the re establishment of the State of thisgs as-it was before 1789 is not tote thought of. NAPLES, JULY 19. It is feared, that, without an army for. debartaifort, it dill not he possible to reduce the Regency of Al giers, the most dangerous of the clue., Barbary Rnen ,cies. The Dey will care very little for the destruction of the houses of the town, which belong to the Jews and Moors, while he and his Turks can secure their trea sures in their country-houies, .which certainly have nothing to fear 'from the English roclets and bombs. It is even doubted whether the Congreve rockets will hive any considerable ;allot/Ice no the houses of Algiers, as they are built of stone with fl it roofs, on which a layer of damp earth may be spread in suffi cient quantity to counteract the effect of any infirm in-ible projectile. The D,ey has also nothing to fear ftom any small corps of troops, however brave, which In.iy be l .nded, as the Ban and Arriere Din of the Itegency are called out. AU the Scheiks or Lords of the Moorish villages, and other Chiefs of the Arab tribes, are crowding to the neighbourhood of Algiers with an immense number of light cavalry, to which the Beys of blascata, Constantine,• and others, join some regular troops. This-mass of soldiers, who, though un.lisciplined, are animated by fanaticism, and sb ho will have to combat for their homes, is not entirely destitute of artillery, nor of men capable of directing it. The issue of the English ezpedition is, therefore, a matter of sufficient doubt to render it an object of earnest attention., THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. SATURDAY. AUGUST 17. 1816.

All the private letters from Paris agree ht stating the opposition of sentiment which prevails among those who rule, or wish to rule, over the French nation. All the friends of the Minister of War con cur in saying that the nominations to the place of Inspector-General of Cavalry were made against his will. The first report of the Generals named has, it is said, caused such violent indignation, that the Ad. ministration have not dared as yet to publish the list. It has even been supposed that the article in the Jonrnal des Debts, announcing the nomination of thirty Inspectors-General, with other details, was sent from the Police, in order that the whole article might be officially contradicted without entering into details. The majority of the Ministry not having been able to persuade the KING to renew one-fifth of the Assembly, ate now trying to put off its meeting till the 3d of No vember, that they may profit by the delay to make one more attempt to decide the KING in favour of their plan. The grand question of the Liberty of the Press is decided negatively. The Duc de FELTRE, the Chancellor D'Astaaav, the Minister of Marine (Dt:- Boccuaoe) voted for the liberty of the press, with the corrective of the continuation of the Loi der vo pats. Rinds teneatir 1 LAME argued frankly for the abolition of this latter law, and that containing re. strictions on the press Ds CAM as frankly for main taining them both in their existing state. His MA JZSTY was of the opinion of his Minister of Police; and the Council of State separated. In submitting, in the present instance, to the will of his Sovereign. M. LAINE expressly declared his intention of consci entiously fulfilling his duty as Deputy. it is said, the KING an this occasion expressed his unwill:ngness to change the Prefects obnoxious to M. LAINI; and added, he was induced to believe that this Minister would be more contented with them henceforth. The nomination of M. PIPIN Di Batista to the Prefecture of La Vendee affords him some consolation. This Magistrate had been displaced by M. VAUBLANC , his redintegration is the triumph of the constitutional party. It is certain M. LASSE off:red, on Thursday week, his resignation of office. This the litso declined ac cepting. The immediate cause ii generally believed to be the displeasure of MONSIEUR (yr the part that Minister took in the Ordinance his Manny promul gated on the National Guard. It is l.kewise affirmed, that the opening of the Session of the Chamber will be prorogued, in consequence of financial difficulties, for the meeting of which no adequate remedy has been hitherto proposed. M. LAYITTI (of the house of Perrigaux) was consulted by the Council of Minis ters on the means of establishing a public credit : he observed, that to effect this system a security on ter ritorial property was indispensable; that the different denominations of national and patrimonial estates should exist no longer. In fact, although the pro duce and revenues are equal, the value is essentially different; the former being unsaleable, or to be di:. posed of only at an immense loss, unmortgageable, and even not to be divided ; he insists on the plan of issabousiti e ; and maintains, that without them no financial operation can possibly succeed. It is said that a constitutional Minister was main taining, in the presence of a Royal Duke, the neces sity of putting" an end tb all future vengeance and re•action—could one but trust them, replied his High ness. Piazza, observed the lrnister, affirms that the leaguers, once the inveterate enemies of your in• comparable ancestor, HURT IV. proved themselves, in several succeeding combats, the most intrepid of his detonates ; bat in none more notoriously than at dis Utile barna Antler's, after 'ihe *gpinlitrits •tma taktii that town. No one .can forget the meek and almost apostolic answer of that model of Sovereigns• when his Court exhorted him to sevrrity r—as laM a shepherd sing, who will wit shed the blood of my subjects, but must rather seek to bring them unto Otte by the *ay of mildnus." Hereupon the conver sation was interrupted. • this morning we received the Paris Papers of Wednesday, from which we have subjoined extracts of every Thing deserving of notice. It appeacs by accounts in these journals, that Spanish maritime commerce contimies to be much impeded .by South American privateets. No less than eight of these" have been for some tint: cmiz;ng off the harbour of Cadiz ! This new system, adopted by the Inde pendents, wilt have a great influence on the future progress of the contest. The Mother Country must provide for the protecti:m of her own shores before she indulge mach in sending fresh reinforceosents.to her consumptive army in the westc:n heruisphere. These Papers, excepting, details of crimes and ac cidents, present but littl.t novelty. The Duke and Duchess d'ANoot:LLme are seeking popularity in eirery quarter. The manoeuvres re.futtd to lir this end will amuse stvne of our Readers. The case of libel which we mentioned a few days since, and in which one BIENNAIT complained of poor Author for saying he was one of the assassins of the Princess de LAMBALLE I has terminated. This 13trantare did not appear to be the most immaculate character in the world, and the Jury only gave him 25 francs (Ws.) as damages. The evidence upon 'which BARIUM!. published the libel, was that of BID/. WAIT'S own son, who said he had heard his father glory in being a party to the above most atrocious transaction. In a subsequent case, in which the KING appeared as prosecutor, &stmt.!. was fined 300 francs (about ser2), because in the same publi. cation he had accused Louts XVIII. of culpable re missness in not making public examples of such as BIENNAIT. COURIER EXTRAORDINARY or WEDNZSVAY MORNING. Yesterday, before mass, the Sardinian and Btiti.h Ambassadors were introduced to a pr . ivate audience of the King,-to present letters from their respective Sovereigns. The letter from the King of Sardinia wai to congratulate his Majesty on the nuptials of the Duke de Berti ; and the letter from the Prince Regent of England, announced the marriage of the Princess Mary. A melancholy event took place cm the 29th of July in the Commune of Lineiti (Dzpartment of the Allier). A thunder stcrrn burst on the burn of M. Bord.tt, the Mayor, when the barn, which contained twelve loads of hay, with the stable, containing thir teen head of cattle, and a woman, were consumed by the fire occasioned by the li:,:htning. A frightful c:ime has been committed at Corrnpet, near Nlontmirail : M. Plrmeoticr, the Curate of the Pariah, and his servant, hate been assassinated. The assassins seem to have killed their victims with a stick and a bayonet. They are as yet undiscovered, al thouzli three suspicious persons were leen wandering in the neighbourhood in the evening. P.M% AUGUS I . 14. Yesterday Mrs. GALA:in, the wile of the American Minister, was preented to the King. His Majesty 'voice to her in. English in the most affectionate man ner. The same lady was afterwards presented to the Duchess d'Angouleme, who received her in a mo.t gracious manner. A German Journalist calculates that there are 34,000 inhabitants and fifty-four booksellers at Leif). sic, and at Paris 580,000 inhabitants and 321) book sellers ; which gives at Leipsic a bookseller to every 629 inhabitants, and at Paris one for every 1822 in habitants: to this it is to be added, that Paris is the only place in France where the bookselling trade is carried on. The Minister of the Marine and the Colonies has given directions for the immediate departure of the ,expedition which is to convey to the Isle of Bourbon, she Baron Debbassyns de Richemont, who has been appointed Intendant, in the room of M. Marchant. This expedition will consist of the Elephant,• armed yes flute, commanded by Captain Chefrontaine ;• and the Girouette, Lieutenant Lemaran t It will sail ilrom Rochefcrt about the end of the month. The Ministers of the interior and the Koine have 1 written to the Vicars-General of Paris to •communi cate to them Ilie watits of the isle of Bourbon respett ing Ecclesiastics. The tabry has been raised from 1500 to 1800 francs, and the inhabitants are ex tremely anxious to a'dd,to 'this income by voluntary subscriptions. The expenses of travelling to Roche fort will be paid to such Ecclesiastics as choose to go : they will receive 600 francs besides, and be kept while on board it Ihe.chief table. Already aural pions females have been sent to educate the young of their own sex in the island, and • some; male teacheis are also much wanted. On Tuesday morning a 'young• Gentleman was thrown from his horse in the Champs Elysecs, anJ had his skull dreadfully fractured. A few hours afterwards, a Lady who was driving her man -servant. in . a cabriolet, drove over an old woman in the Roe St. Honore ; seeing- the. in jilry she had done, she gave the whip pretty smartly to the hone r and-was Out of right-iib ii:nrittete. • -We hope. for the honour of the sex; there is not another like her to be tiinnd in Pa r is. The oM inmen's were broken. She was taken to the hospital. The Duke of Angouleme, on his late tour, has; n r, heard sof a village, the inhabitants of which were led astray by disaffected opinions, went there in disgnise, made himsclf known to the Mayor, and demand e d list of the men mast distinguished for their mutinous spirit. The Niayor wrote. twenty name; w:th a Item. Wing hand r mat day the Duke returned to the yin when all the inhabitants were assembled, and de. manded these very twenty men as 'as escort. They obeyed instantly, 11flowed the Prince with satisfac tion, and returnel enchanted, devoted, and Food Frenchmen. The Duchess of Angorle,ie, when at Mon, visited the Hotel Dieu ; thrce sick suldicrs, found guil t y th desertion, pret.enttd a Petition to het on their bare knees for pardon. The Ductless has since obtained this favour for them from the Kini. MADRID, AUGUST 1. Letters from Cadiz of the 25th July state, that cd the 911 a ship entered that post from the Havanna !) which owed her safety only to the swiftness of lief sailing, the Sacs being infested with piivawei be. longing to the Spanish American. Inmegests, stop every vessel under the Span;sh flag.

These measures allayed for a little the apprehen sions of the Merchants, who are d .ily ezpecting car. goes from S3uih America. The nuteiwr .4 th Insurgent privateers has increased greatly ..f eight have been telegraphed as in sight of Cade.; they are generally in gallies armed with sit gnfist they refresh on the shores of Barbary, in the kirly ) ,!os of Morocco; where they alio sell their prizes. We hope that the Government will make the alaittsof the Spanish Merchants cease by taking etEcacious measures to destroy those pirates. It is now said that the death of the Queen of Pnr. tugal is the cause of the delay cf the arrival of the young Princesses who are to nrArry our King and his ie Brother.
