- r I G,ERMIN PAPERS. . PROM THE RHINE, AUGUST to. The disputes between the Ilussars in garrison at Strasburg, and the National Guard, hare 'hod no farther consequences, and were _speedily suppressed by the prudence of the Authntities. . FRANKFORT, AUGUST to. The number of strangers here increases in an ex. traordinary degree. Many have be►u obliged to drive to half a dozen hotels before they could fad apartments. This influx well doubtless continue till the opening of the Diet. Whcn this will be we can. not now say, it is certain that every preparation for the Sitting is entirely completed in the Paine of Tour - and 'resit. It is also generally reported that the Ministers will go there in procession. with a degree of pomp suitable to the importance of the occasion. Atiausr 16 —We now have iiiN more doubts of the speedy opelong of the Diet. The Kiel; ►of Pius. sia has appointed Baron Humboldt to be this Pleni. pctenti iry. We learn from Vienna, that Prince Stahremberg is charged with a mission to the Quen of Etruria ; and it is added, that-the affairs of die interesting Princess will be speedily arranged. The Courts of France, Spain, Nzples, and Rome, interest themselves warmly in her behalf. Am= 23:—.The King of Prussia has appoirted Count Goltz, his Minister of State and Grand Mar. shal of the Court, to be his Minister to the Diet of the German Confederation. But as this Minister cannot immediately repair to Frankfort, Lis Majesty has appointed Baron Humboldt. who is no* her; to act as Minister, till Count Gybe arrives. Last week the mountain, called the Johannes Berg. was given up to the Agents a his Highness Prince Metternich. This is the mountain on which are the vineyards that produce the celebrated vine. Bona parte had given it to Count Kellerman. It is perhaps known to but few people, that there lives still on the frontiers of Transylvania a Roman Colony, which has preserved its language almost pure, and is proud of its descent. When any Mem ber of this Colon• enlists into the Austrian set vice, he answers to the usual question. Whence he comes I am a Roman (Romanus sum). . It is reported that the Emperor of Austria thinks of marrying again : the Priacess Augusta, only daughter of the King of Saxony. is even mentioned as the object of his choice. It is probable that his Majesty's talked of journey to Dresilin relates to this object. iirssE cAsstu . The Commission Cro the Censorship of Books, Journals, &c. reckzived hes!' instructions, among which are the following : 4i The Commission most pay particular attention to all Journals aid Newspapers published in Ger m , ny, in order t get act-painted with them speedily; to secoestrate all those Journals and Newspapils whose Editors show the intention of circulating dan s roes ideas, of exciting discontent in the subjects with the existing pollical institutions, of spreading presumptuous opinions and criticisms on the actions of Princes, or subjects of the Administration of the :state, or in general of maliciously influencing pee. pies' sentiments, to the prejudice of the general wel. fare; and they are to take the necessary measures for prvititting the circulation of them in our States" A Berlin paper centains the following article s a Lieut.-Colonel Fischer, the ingeni. us founder and' proprietor of the manufactory of wrought steel at. Schathausen, improved the first moment of re stored communication with England, to make a Jour• ney thither, the main object ut which was to oh.erve with his own ' eyes, the improvements made,during tte last twenty years in the manulActure of irou and steel. We now communicate some interesting notices horn his journal. 'l' At Birmingham our traveller was allowed to visit the manufactories of Messrs. 'Wilton and Watts in Soho, who by their improvements of the steam engine have increased the resources of their country by many-millions of money. Them, among other things, he saw machines, whose power is equal to from 6 to 50 horn s, and which equably, and without noise, accordingly to laws impressed on them by the genius of the artist, perform their assigned labours ; strike money, roll tin, produce plated works, put hammers in motion, turn immense beams, and bore cylinders, which reay require some months to com plete them. Within the circumference of this unfer tile track, which is as it were ove.rspread with manu factories, he saw the Wilkinson iron works of Brad ley, which alone employed 5,000 workmen, , and Which, since the death of Wilkinson, are now con-' ducted by a Mr. Ferriday, who, in his early youth was a common coal-heaver. On his way to Man ebester, he was shewn the whole of Mr. Wedgwood's Etruria. Mr. Wedgwood d..suaded him from any purchase of his porcelain, observing, As you return through France, you will find finer and better at Paris. I shall probably wholly give up the making of porcelain.' He assigned as a reason for this sin gular declaration, that France possessed much Isetikr materials for the making of porcelain than England. 66 The ageiculture of this part of the country Mr. Tischer found neglected; and besides the great quan tity of waste land, he was particularly surprized that so Wile use was made of manure, of which one cats* is, that the farmers permit their cattle to graze in the pastures, and that stall foddering is still very little used. , At Leeds he noticed the waggons driven by steani, which conveyed coal along an iron railway three miles in length, to the town. I went to meet this train,' says he, ' two miles off ; and when I came up with it, the man who guided the whole desired me to mount the waggon of the machine, which was provided with seats; and the usual rateot its motion being such, that a man walking rather fast can scarcely keep up with it i in order to satisfy my cu riosity, he increased its rapidity to that of a trotting horse, by a stronger application of steam to put in motion the stampers, which moved at the rate of 80 strokes in a minute. I was very glad when he made it move more slowly, as I was afraid of an explosion, because the steam hissed as if our vehicle was drawn ' along by half a dozen of broken-winded horses. For Win rest. I rejoiced to enter Leeds seated in this tri - orophal car of human ingenuity (for so I would call is) whore the elements confined within so small a Aw sp a gs *muslin impel tfi Waggons laden With 60 - coy if coal each.'" pßE*ert PAPERS. PARIS. . 1 4:UOUrt ti. A letter from Spain, of the lath inst. &stogie, that the English squadron sent aga inst Algier* had, passed the Straits of Gibraltar some days before. As *e have already stated, the Municipal Body of Paris, headed by the two Prefects, hart the honour to be Presented to his Majesty on Sunday, as he was passing through the blue saloon on his way to mass. His Majesty hid :he goodness to stop, which gave time to the Prefect of the Seine to observe to him— " Sire, these are children who come to present their respectful homage to their august father." His Majesty, receiving the words with a snfle of satisfac tion and benevolence, replied—" A father always feels pleasure in receiving the felicitations of his chil dren, and especially of the eldest of his children." We learn from the department of the Isere, that the produce of the harvest is likely to exceed by a fifth what it was last year. The ploportion is still greater in Normandy, where the excess is expected to be a third. The tribunal of Tarbes lately fined a capitalist of that town WOO fr. for having last money at usurious interest. His Holiness the Pope, by an edict of the 7th inst. has prohibited, under %evere penalties, the exportation of every kited of grain, either by sea or land. On Sunday last the blind musicians of the royal hospital of Qninze Vingts performed several pieces of music in their chapel, in celebration of the day.— The band, composed of the blind, was also led by a blond Man. In the evening was displayed an elegant illumination of the bust of the King, having under it the following verse : Eiranger a nos pia. it regne dans nos mars." The nem!. Academy h.is proposed, as the subject of the prize of eloquence far 1818, the Ebge 0! Rollin. The prize is a gold medal' of the value of 1500 francs. The son of Count d'Osmond, his Majesty's Am. bassador at Loul-n, bah arrived at Paris, with dis patclots. It is said that the Duke of Wellington will remain at l'atis till next week ; his Staff will set nut early in September. His Grace has hired a house a few iledgues from Cambray, where he will remain till the ent: of autumn. The Court of Assizes at Perpignan cnndemned, on the 6111, to 1.5 months imprisonment, the Abbe Aurisse, Cure of Triton, convicted of having deliver ed in his church, on the 30th of July, a d:urnt►se cnnuining stvtral expre.sions against the Govern ment. M. Desezn, the intrepid advocate of Lours XVI. was late:y made it member of the Royal Institute of France.

FRANKFORT, AUGUST as. Baron Von Linden, the Plenipotentiary of War. temberg to the Diet of the German Confederation, has nuw officially declared the actual and uncondi. tional accession of Wurtentherg to the German Con. federation. The act of accession is dated the Ist of September, 1815. Tlte disputes continue between f Sweden and Den. mark, respecting the Treaty , of Kiel, which. the Prince Regent of England insists shall be faithfully executed. The reduction of the Prussian Army is pro. ceeding in. DUON f AUGUST ss. The trial of General de Veaux and Messrs. tier noux, Lejeas, and Royer, has occupied our Court of Ass;ze for several days. The sittings of the 20th, 21st, and 22d, were employed in the hearing of 95 witnesses, both for the prosecution and the defence. The audience is daily very numerous, and the great. est order and decency prevail. The proceedings have hitherto presented a character of much dignity; and the discussions of the accused, both by themselves and their advocates, with the Attorney-General and the witnesses, have always exhibited modesty and moderation. M. Raimbourg, the attorney-general, spoke today; his speech occupied the whole sitting, and tomorrow the counsel fur the prisoners will be heard. BOLOGNA, AUGUST 12. An Englishman, after travelling through France, Germany, and Italy, has conjectured that in the state of the different moats de tide (public institutions for pawning property) will be found the trite thermo meter ot the relative prosperity of those States. The following ate some of the results of the inquiry : Since the lit of May, 1814, the monte de piece of Vienna has had in motion funds to the amount of 120 millions; that of Milan, 49 millions; that of Venice, 70 millions; and that of Turin, 55 millions. Generally speaking, all the institutions of this sort in the cities ot the Continent are surcharged with pro. petty. Stich are the elects of a destructive revolu tion, which has every where carried its ravages; but with order, peace, and good laws, this evil enlist cease in time; and it is Bien remarked that the evil already decreases. . In some cities, such as. Brussels and Hamburgh, the balance has remained nearly what it was at oilier periods. Italy has suffered most by the war ; if these calculations are coma s it is the country Where the people have been most impoverished; its industry is gone. The English have destroyed the few menu• factures which we had ; they have almost annihilated all commerce. It is high time that a step should be put to the introduction of their alasvfactuses, with which we are inundated. kotciiE. The folliArlig prticulars. irtspectinA 'the Duke a °TR ANI%) are given In a Meaning Paper as an ab stract from a M.S. 'swat, drawn up under the eye of •fot/CIIII, by M. litsiateritau, his private and confi dential Secretary. The :Avail Propos, written by another hand, a German, penises him for the intre. pid freedom with which lie is said to have always represented to NAPOLEON the trite state of his affairs ? " The Duke of °TRANI%) was horn on the ‘49th l of May. 1 1 763. at Nantes, in the Department of the Lower Loire. He was destined for the naval ser vice, in which his father had passed the greater part of his life, and accordingly studied m AtheulAtiCS* — When he was on the point, however, of quitting the College, his tutor, M DußiPr, represented to his fa mily that the sea would not agree with his c -institu tion. Accordingly, a different direction was given to his studies, and atter having attained a consider able proficiency in logic, metaphysics, natural and moral philosophy, he returned to Nantes with the in tention of marrying, and establishing himself there as an-advocate. Nurtured as his mind had been, in the Acquisition of just and valuable knowledge, when the French Revolution broke t tit, he felt little surpris • at a catastrophe, and when lie was called to the Na tional Convention. he did not seek for celebrity, but secluded himself in the Committee of Public Loma: tion, where he connected himself with CONDucC6T. " We shall, however, imitate the brevity of M. DastaterEno, and pass over the history ( , 1 Fotxtia's conduct during the differeot Revolutionary Govern ments. in order to extract the character given of him by Les biographer. They who behold the Duke of OTRANTO, in the midst of his family, are tempted to believe, that his ideas and sentiments never extended beyond the tittle of, domestic endearments. His owners are unaffected and correct. As lar as himself is concealed, it would be useless for him to be rich : he disdains artifice and subtlety, arid sutlers every one to speak frankly to him. Trifl:s he can treat like a trifler, but he bestows a serious and laborious atten tion upon grave topics. Every thing relative to the condition of man, his wclfAre. and his duties, is fa miliar to him. What concerns the formation of Civil society, whatever tends to its improvement, its de fence, its corruption, and its destruction, are the con tinual objects of his meditations. " He has protected, during his long and difficult Ministry, every kind of existetice Ulthuut exception, every individual had c...mplete security, it he did not aim to disturb the pu...lic tranquillity. lie always opposed himself to laws of temporary expedtency ; a Too frequently (he used to obses yr) they only veri fied the evil v. ithoot remedying it, because their exe cution, which was necessarily arbitrary, was always entrusted to the passions.' As the Duke served un der various Governments, his enemies have endea. voured to insinuate, that his character was pliable no all ii. but it that had been the case, be would not have I passed a part of his life in exile and proscription. 6 , The talents of the Duke of OTRANTO were justly appreciated by BONAPARTE, but his ideas of a Police did not coincide with those of his Minister. Box's , pARTE had a Police of his own, and it often happened that the victims of that Police fled for protection to the Police of M. Fouctia, Hence the consternation which was felt throughout France whenever the Duke of °THANT() was in disgrace. es Foucua never concealed his reel opinionefrom NAlDoLitoh. After the Peace of Tilsit, he urged him to employ his .thoughts upon the administration of his Empire. • You may,' said he, 6 conquer new Provinces, but nothing can now add to your Power. The conquest of Spain, with which they have fasci nated your eyes, is only a vain authority ; in reality you are already Sovereign of that country,• for you draw from it-soldiers for your armies, and money for your treasury.' The voice of flattery prevailed, and BONAPARTE departed for Spain. "WhAt passed at Bayonne created a fermentation in the interior. It Was represented as a conspiracy, and BoNAPARTX, alarmed, returned to France. The conspiracy dis appeared like a phantom, when he arrived in Paris. " He then et off for the North, where fortune, who had crossed his plans in the South, seemed to prepare new obstacles for him. His victories were sanguinary, and mingled with reverses. The English made a descent upon Walcheren. The Duke of °mum, who was then entrusted with the Ministry of the Interior and of Police, caused a numerous National Guard to be every where enrolled. • Let us prove,' said he, • to Europe, that it the genius of BONAPARTE bestows lustre upon France by his victo ries, his presence is not necessary to repulse our ene mies.' The impulse given to the nation was general. The English hastened to re-embark. BoNAPARTE concluded a peace at Vienna, and returned quickly to Paris. The National Guard was disbanded, and the Minister who bad presumed to say, that BONAPARTE was not tumfary, was dismissed. BONAPARTE, to conciliate public opinion, appointed his Ex-Minister Governor of Romer but before his departure, he seat General Bitaxusea to him to demand the deli. very of his correspondence. " The Doke of OTRANTO replied, that he would not give it up; and, as the demand was accompanied with menaces, he added, 4 Go, and tell your master, that I have been accustomed for five and twenty years to sleep with my head upon the scaffold: I know the extent of power, but Ido ant dread it l' The Duke was then exiled to Aix, in Provence, but was soon re called by BONAPARTE. Their first interview was not very satisfactory, for the Russian war was as little accordant with the principles of the Minister as the Spanish one had been. The Duke therefore retired again to his estates. When BONAPARTE was at Pres ' den, he wrote to FoValE to join him there; but his notions of peace and moderation displeased him, and BONAPARTE ordered him to repair to Illyria and take upon himself the government there.—Here, for the present, we 'conclude our account of this most valu able work, bet shall resume the subject in a day or two. The manuscript is peculiarly interesting, as it details a variety of transactions connected with the political life of the Duke of OTRANTO (and his career has been intimately blended with all tf.e great events of die last five and twenty years), all of which are I curious, and many of them original."
