According to the account of a traveller coming from Mulhausen, some wounded Austrians are stated to have been brought into that Place, it having been found necessary to suppress, by force of arms. a tu mult of the seduced soldiers and peasants in the neighbourhood of .Eefort, and in the Vosges. At Strasburg, where the police is equally rigotons and watchful, the number of persons in confinement, ac cording to the assurance of the :.arne traveller. velich, however, we will not warrant, .amounts to 6(10.

Slaws-Tumult —On the Ist instant Mr. Randolph. expressed himself Melly incensed at the discovery which itad been made of a clandestine traffic in Slaves in the district of Columbia. He was per suaded that ti n e district in question had been con. vented into a depot for the Slave-trade of the neigh. .bonring States. He insist don the necessity of pre.

The Committee which had been appointed to make all due inqoiry into the affair, were proceeding in their useful labours. CONIMERCIAL , RWITICTIONS...-•••The General As pe.r.hly of New Bruns ick has passed ;4 law imposing cut export duty of 20s. per ton on Plaster, if it be landed north of Cape Cod. The policy or rather object oftais measure,stly the Americans, is o!nrotts, and Is meant to encourage the navigation of the Pro vince at the expense of Massachusetts, by engrossing 11:e eitpOrtation of Phster to •he Southern States.— This measure seems to Inve excited numerous corn- iilaints, and the result promises to be Petitions to _Congress for redress. America does not profess to led that distress in commerce which in Europe is so generally complained of: on the contrary, the Papers say, that the 'prosperity of the country continues to pour her treasUres into the laps f their Planters and Merchants; and whilst this is the case. the, Sciences receive a proper share of attention. RAW COTTON.—An estimate of Cotton imported and consumed in England has been published in "-America, from which it appears probable, that the • consumption this year will not exceed 300,0:10 bales; quantity on hand and imports, 595,000, and may be 420,0(X), leai , ing a surplus of 95,000, or 120,000 . British importations of Cotton are in the fol lowing proportions:--From the United States, . . 125.0ii0 to 130,000 bales; from Brazil and Portugal, 120,000 to 1+5,000 bales; from the East Indies, probably 50,0()0 bales; and freni all other parts, 75,000 bales. From this statement •it results, that the demand for American Cotton in England will be reduced from year to year—an argument in favour of home manufactures to furnish a market for the produce of the soil. Thirty-three thousand six hun. dred and seventy bales of Cotton were exported irom Siv !total; from October 1, 1815, to February 10, 1816 ; of which upwards of 20,000 went to Lurope, principally to Eugland. The American ?tapers, alter exalting in their bright prospects of trade, turn their attemica with equal satisfaction to the internal improvementiof the country. The citizens of the Stine of New York, they say, merit the high:st praise for the exertioas they are making in the grand project of uniting the waters Of the Western Lakes with the Hudson kiver. Iu a commercial view, its effects promise to be vast and extensive, and they calculate how moth cheaper the productions of the West will reach di% Eastern States, and part of the middle States, through this channel, than by the circuilons route of Qu e bed.— The bhotiltactures of toe East would spread over the Western Country by an easy and direct route.. It will bring to the door of thousands, they say, a market ibt the most valuable articles, which are now not worth the transportation.

" Given at Venice, 17th March, 1816. 46 MARIA LOUISA." VIENNA, MARCH SI. • The Ai/gene/as %titan: contains the following from the Banks of the Wirral:: .‘ With regard to die prohibition of the Rhenish Mercury, and the prosecution in which M. Goerres was engaged ou that occasion, the public papers have for some time propagated much untruth. As the affair in itself is interesting to a considerable portion ot the public, a circumstantial bnd correct account of it will not be misplaced in the All:mei= ZeitiNg. By a royal cabinet order of the '3d of Jannaty, the continuance of the Rhenish Mercury was prohibited, for the reasons; as it appears, oaclally assigned in ,the Berlin Gazette. To the general Government Commissioner of the Rhine and Moselle department, the State Connsellor Sack in Cublents (who is not to be confounded with the General Governor Sack in Aix•la•Chapelle), was intrusted the execution of this order. He discharged this commission by coming. aiming to Mr. Goerres the contents of the Royal Order, upon which the Paper immediately ceased; but, besides this, he placed all the remaining cokes ot tow Ater.isrl, even the old ones, under seal ; and threw thy pinta Heriot into prison for eight days, because he had printed passages through which Pro fessor limning, the censor, had drawn hiepen.---- Upon this Lioesees mote to Sect she lodes which km alio* Apf 404 .in all the.intirnaise M r. . Sack thought the dignity and authority isf his office ins by this epistle, and applied to the Correc uonal Tribunal of Coblentz for the severe punish ascot of Zir. Games. He at the same time-supported his plea by the preditction of another letter, which Mr. Goerres had written to him some months previ pnsly on a matter of trifling importance. and of which he had hitherto made no complaint. Accord ing to the French laws still in force in the territories on the Rhine, the trial was appointed to take place in public, before the CaTectional Tribunal of Co blente, on the 17t1, of February. As the affair had excited universal interest, the number of people as sembled to hear the proceed ings was so great, Mat only a small part of diem could be accommodated in Court ; the rest' were either under the necessity of remaining abont the doors; or of returni:.g home without having their curiosity satisfied. . " Gmerres appeared in person with his Counsel. of the name ia, enamel. The latter opened the boisiness,, and defen.i.ed his client, not without elo quence. He remarked, that he hoped it would not Le necessary to investigate the merits of the cause, because, by . an express law, and in cot:formity to the L opinions of all French Lawyers, no epistolary cainm. hies cable within the jutisdictiou of a Court of Cri minal Justice, but at the most could be brought for- Ward in the shape of a police or civil action ; it was iircessary, therefore, %hat the calumnies should have heen designedly published and propagated by their author. This, however, was by no means the case —and even if the letters of .Mr. Goerres (which, in fact, contained nothing hut very cordial reminiscences • and admonitions, which should be very welcome to every administrator) actually did any thing injurious to the authority of Mr. Sick, then Mr. Sack had himself to blame, by giving publicity to these letters. On these grounds, he contended, that the Court should either dismiss the complaint as unbunded, or declare itself incompetent. - - The State Attorney declared, on the other hand, that be had received orders from die chief President, Sack, to prosecute the business, and he must insist upon the competence of the Court. The Court post. poned its decision to its next sitting, which took place on the 23d of February, when it declared its compe tence, and entirely acquitted . Mr. Goerres. Mr. Sack, not satisfied with this decision, is now prose cuting his complaint before the Appeal Court at Treves, from whence the, affair will probably he brought before the Court of Revision at Csblentr. the place of last resort. Mr. Goerres hats repaired to Treves, to defend his cause before tli; Court there.— This is a true and correct representation of the affair. As was naturally to be expected, both the circurn. stances wnich gave occasion to the letter of Mr. Goerres, and the prosecution itself, have made an unfavourable impression • in the provinces on the Rhine ; but the definitive organization of 'these pro vinces, to which we mg now look forward with tolerable certainty. and the satisfaction upon the final cessation of our provisional state r mast, it is to be hoped, soon do away this impression, and till the Rhenish people with that confidence in their Government, without which there can be no attach tnent or affection." The Allgeweiee Zrituffg also states from Berlin, under date of the 16th March, that the War Coun sellor Muchler ard Dr. John are now under proset.u tio,t before a Criminal Tribunal, on account of an antinymotts pamphlet which bas appeared in Saxony, attacking the Prusso Saxon Administration.

Letters from Spain announce, that ten °Sten ef the Regiment of Catalonia have been arrested and thrown into prison, as it is said, in consequence of a suspicion of their being implicated in the late Madrid conspiracy. Owing to this extraordinary circumstance all the other officers have abandoned their regiments It appears clear that the torture has been inflicted es several persons in Spain. In consequence of this General o , l)(,uottoub: has lost the use of his hands, his fingers having been all separately disjointed. The Intendant of Valencia died during the operation.. A circumstance k all probability will soon come before the Public, which, if the opinion of two CI the most eminent Men at the Bar is cotrect, will tend very mach to the relief of Mercantile Men, who feel very severely the inconvenience arising from the West of discounts. It is on the subject of continuation in the Funds, which has now arrived at so high a pitch, that it is often impossib:e for the honest and even wealthy mder to meet his engagements ; it is now no uncomtnon thing for.+, per Cent. to be given per Diem, the legal interest being Si J.—An action has, we understand, been brought against a House of the first consequence, to try the legal question on this prntice.

A similar cause of failure will of course, in the present imtanc•-; he avoided.— We shall rejoice to see the public r. lieved from an evil which, as far as it extends, is more pernicious than even the Property Tax. Should the action fail, it is to be hoped that the vnice of the cunntry will call aloud for the sanction of Mr. Serjeant ONst.ow'a motion, which has been announced for the 9th of May, to do away the Laws on Usury, and to let money find its level as it does in other countries.
