We learn by letters from the frontier* 'of Spain, which come down to the 22d instant, that the state of health in Catalonia is most satisfying. Fears were entertained that an artilleryman, discovered at Bar celona, had recently deserted from Cadiz ; ut it has been ascertained that this soldier had deserted from Seville anterior to the manifestation of the con tagion. He has been discharged from the Lazaretto, and reconducted to his corps, iu order to be tried for the simple fact of desertion. It is denied at Barcelona, that there is any truth in the report that Arcos has been taken violent pos session of by some troops of the Expeditionary Army. The communications between the provinces of Ca talonia, Valencia, and Aragon, continue uninterrupted. , reproved, in strong terms, , the departure froui the laws in which the Governments had indulged, and this was sue. dent to obtain for the author a dungeon , in a fortress! His Letter to a Parisian Jouraalist speaks the language of a man conscious of his.integrity and his honour able intentions, and is "evity way such as a man in misfortune may with propriety write to a former ad versary. We shall here insert it at length: " TO THE EDITOR OF THE CONSTITUTIONNEL " SrsAssusc, OcTona. 25, 1819. " Sea—The French Papers have occupied themselves of late with the persecution which I have been subjected to on account of my work, Germany and the Recolution—.4nd I have to express my satisfaction with the honourable manner in which all of them, either in writing or in remaining silent, have acted towards me on this occasion Seeing myself arbitrarily deprived of the bene fits of the Civil Law, I felt myself obliged to throw myself ander the protection cf the Law of Nations, not to oppose authority which I respect, but to put it on an impossibility for its own in- I wrest, of proceeding otherwise in this cause than by legal means. Yes, during the war, I frequently and forcibly _raised my voice against France but in this I followed the dictates of duty and honour t I should even have fought with arms in my hands, if an occasion had presented itself; but in decoding the liberty, the honour, and independence of my country against a foreign yoke, I never forgot what man owes to man. After the pas sage of the Allies, when the Russian Police first, and tits Prussian Police afterwards, brought from twenty to - thinly French emplayis to Dresden and Wetdar, as suspected per -1 sons, these men and their families, through a confidence which was flattering to one, applied in preference to me, though they were not ignorant of my political opinions, and I procured for them, from the Governor-General of that town, not merely their liberty, but assistance to several of them to return to their own coulitry. I now claim the same hospitality, not as a fa tour, which would be incompatible with my -honour, but as a right. Even the Bedouin exercises this hospitality towards his enemy ; and surely it ought to be a law for civilized Emcee, in times full of trouble, party rage, revolutions, and unexpected changes, in which no writer, no statesman, ever has any car minty, that what he grants to-day may not be claimed for him self to-morrow. " GOERRES." The Hamburgh Mail of this morning has brought us a copy of the Cabinet Order of his PRPSSIAN MAJESTY for the arrest of Mr. Goznass. It is as follows : " To Lieutenant-Governor Von Hann, or the Minister of State Vox Ixoseeasaiet. " The guilt of Professor Goerres, who, in his pamphlet • Germany and the Itepottaites; has not abstained, though enjoying, fromahe liberality of the State, a pension of 1800 dollars, from insulting his own and foreign Governments, by the most dive• spectful expressions ; and, under the appearance of warning against revolution and illegal violence, and advising peace, endeavours to inilanse the' People, by the most insolent censure of the meuures of their Governments, is so evident, that I hereby order you to have all his papers sequestrated, and sent hither sealed, to the 1111- ulster Von Schuckmann. " FREDERICK WILLIAM. " Berlin, Sept. 700, 11119." Such has been the reward of the Continental Go vernments to those true Pat' jots, who, by their per severance and energy, wound up the public spirit of the People to that point which ensured unanimity and co-operation; in the virtuous sacrifices rendered necessary, for the expulsion of a ruthless and merci less invader ; and which ensured victory and eman cipation from the thraldom in which their respective Governments were involved ! Yes-:-this is the Li berty of the Press—this the Representative Govern ments, that were promised to their respective sub- 1 jects I Infatuated Rulers I Do you think the nature of man is charged ? That ambition, working in the breast of neighbouring Governments, will never more i render it necessary for you to sue for the support of 1 your People—to entreat that the trumpets of the many-tongued Angel, the all-powerful Press, May once more sound the love OF country and of inde pendence in your invaded territories ?—You will find, when too late, how miserably you have miscal culated the resources of your Holy Allisnce.—i , Holy Alliance" indeed ! Impious profanation !.--When again invaded.z—for invaded you will be ; when fear and terror press upon you CAI all sides, to whom will you next apply,•for support and succour? To your Feudal Courtiers ? To your Ultra-legitimates ?--.1 They could not save you when you last wanted their aid.—To your people, your subjects, your staves You may, indeed, call to them, but they will not an swer :—or, if they do, it will be with scorn and with execration. A Hamburgh Mail arrived this forenoon, with Papers to the 29th ult. We 'subjoin, among other extracts, an article from Bagdad, respecting some in tended operations of our own in the East, which is particularly deserving of notice : „... - .. • ): • • • • 0 1 . 11111111111"111.W'- - • tin; but, ufortututtely for kin,it also I IIIIIMMI11111111111111111111111111.11111111111111111111.111.0 1::V.: \ TV.NING STAR ttrnno , terms. the deoartsre front the I' BAGDAD, JULY a. By the latest accounts from Indiapthe English are about to undertake a great Expedition against the Djewassim, or Robbers, who infest the Persian Gulf. Five thousand men are to land on this Coast, and the Squadron is to sail from Bombay in September.— The Iman of Muscat will co-operate in the extirpa tion of these pirates, who respect no flag whatever. It is probable that Ibrahim Pacha, son of the Viceroy of Egypt, who is in possession of the sea coasts of Arabia Lahsa, and El Katif, affil whose troops have also taken possession of Khomfuda (an important point on the Red Sea), will take part in the enter prise, to extend his conquests, and obtain his share in the division of the 'territory of the Pirates. The bun of Muscat has already, as it is said, taken Ras el Khainre from the Pirates. HANBUROH, OCTOBER as. Accounts from Constantinople, of the 26th of &p• tember, bring intelligence .of the disgrace and ruin of the greatest families of the Armenian Catholics. which may be said to be folloWed bT the political easihilatios of all their brethren. The family of Doeottglon, whom the Sultan had treated with fa vours, who enjoyed the highest offices, and had had for years the direction of the Mint, have been found guilty of immense peculatiens t their property is sequestrated, and their punishment will probably be severe. BERLIN, OCTOBER 26. By an Ordinance published in the Collection of the Laws, on the 18th of this month, his Majesty the King has caused the Law relative to the Liberty of the Press, unanimously agreed to by the German Diet, on the 20th of September, for the term of five years, to be published ; and has also been pleased to order, that all the hitherto existing Laws upon the Censorship of the Press, both in the old and new Pro vinces of the Kingdom, shall be abolished, so that the Censorship shall be exercised on one uniform prin ciple throughout the whole Monarchy. f I 1 STUTGARD, OCTOBER 25. Last night the King returned from his voyage to Warsaw. The Royal Gate, by which his Majesty entered, was decorated with two obelisits--the one bearing the insignia of war •the other, those of peace. Oa the former was inscribed, " To the D.fender of As Country;" and on the latter, " 7o Mc Protector f the People." The royal device, viz. "Fearkss and Constant," was also displayed. Under the gateway, the Ma c istrates of the City rendered to his Majesty the homage of the public gratitude, for the establish ment of a Free Constitution—happy fruit of the union of the Prince and of the Nation. While the royal voiture stopped, the people took the horses from it, and drew it themselves to the Palace, amid the un ceasing acclamations of a vast multitude of spectators. The town was brilliantly illuminated; and nothing was heard but the voice of rejoicing. VIENNA, OCTOBER 17. On the day after to-morrow, the Provincial Estates of Lower Austria will assemble here, agreeably to the Letters of Convocation which have been addressed to the Members. The meeting of the Estates of tipper Austria, of Styria, of Carinthia, of Bohemia, a-d of Moravia, (with Austrian Silesia) will take place on the same day. Several propositions, relative to Enancial =tots, will be submitted to them. French Five per Cents, Saturday, 71f. 200. Nothing can equal the gloom that has taken posses: slon of the public mind in Germany, where only one Govetnment out of thirty-eight has been found pos sessed of sufficient honesty, firmness, and good laith, to nullify, by the exceptions it has attached to it, its acceprance of the Decree of the German Diet. In ac ceding to the general law, Bavaria has resolved that nothing therein contained shall be held or construed to imply a relinquishment of any right belonging to Bavaria, as an Independent State, or .secured to all or any of the classes of its subjects by the Constitu tion of the Country. The Journals hitherto distinguished for indepen dence, in Germany, have, one by one, either disap- 1 peared, or lost their former conductors, some of whom, along with other public writers, have been obliged, in order to escape from perpetual confine , rnent in the dungeon of a fortress, to seek an asylum in France and in this country. , g From henceforth," says the Zat Sthwingeor, " this Paper will appear ender Censorship. Where all lose their freedom, the equality may afford SOMC 4.01114.1.• l~cion; and this we have already experienced under NAPOLZON. Let us admire the wisdom of PROVI DSNCIC ! In order to give repose and harmony to our contradictory wishes, it has given us a common sor row. ~ . . . . Fatewell, Readers, till we meet again !" _ _ Dr. WZITZIL, hitherto the Editor of the Rheinighe Batter, published at Wisbaden, has declared, that he renounces the conducting of that Journal, 36 long as the present state of things continues. The Courier of the Lamer Rhins, published at Cleves, has taken a voluntary leave of its Readers. The Menu Journal has renounced the motto of Fiat lux," which had reference to the invention of Printing in that City.—lt is singular enough, that the Inquisition against the Press should have its head quarters in the place of its birth. M. Gozeam, the well-known Editor of the Rhe uisit has been obliged to seek a refuge in the country against which h•laboured with so much perseverance. His Work, Of Germany curd the Revo lution, is considered aristocratical by the popular party, and was written with the view of dissuading Ins countrymett from entertaining any idea of a revolt/. NEW PALACE FOR THE PRINCE REGENT. We understand that the arrangements are at last completed for the erection of a new Palace for his ROYAL HIGHNESS; and that operations will corn• coerce early in the next Spring. The PRINCII aban dons Carlton House in consequence of the opinion of architects that it would be impossible to give eleva tion to that edifice, or indeed any other that might be substituted in its place ; and as a new Royal Palace is necessary, a new scite ought to be chosen. After the most mature consideration, the ground on which Buckingham House now stands has been considered as the most eligible. The late Queas's residence possetses none of the requisites for holding Drawing rooms and Levee% The plan approved of presents a picture of real taste and grandeur: it is a Palace with three fronts; the grand one will be a most mag. nificent object, and will have in perspective the long avenue of trees, and - the Canal in St. James's Park; the second front will command the Green Park, and the third have a view of the Surrey Hills; for it is pro posed to give to the New Palace sufficient altitude to overlook Pimlico. Thus the pile will have East, North-west, and South-west aspects. The two latter will be adorned with a noble terrace, in imitation of the one at Windsor Castle. To complete this superb structure seven millions sterling are said to be requi site; but as the PRINCZ REGINT is reluctant to apply to Pirliament, his Royal Highness has given direc tions for the sale of the following property belonging to the Crown, namely :—First, The ground on which St,. James's Palace stands. Second, The whole of the King's Mews. Third, Warwick-House and its ap purtenances. It is calculated that about £700,000, in addition, will complete the whole. Carlton-House goes to the Duke of .?our, for valuable consideration. The Triumphal Arch is still talked of: it will be the grand entrance into London from the pew Palace, and the bottom of St.James t s• street is still thought of. In virtue of the late Proclamation, Parliament was formally prorogued yesterday from that day to the 1:3‘1 instant. The LottD CHANCELLOR, the Earl of SH‘RTEssLTRY, and Lord Sr. HCL&NS, sat as Com missioners in the House of Lords. Some Officers of the Commons, representing that House, attended below the Bar. Yesterday, the Tradesmen of his. Royal Highness the Duke of Kerr dined together at Witus's, to celebrate the Birth-day obis Royal Highness, and in the evening their houses were brilliantly illuminated. Yesterday, Prince Lzototv, accompanied by Baron HARDZNBROOILZ and Colonel ADDIMBROLE, dined with the Duke and Duchess of Kerr, at Kensington Palace. It is not true, as stated in the French Papers; that Mr. Bil01)011Akt is in Paris, on his way to the Princess of Wm.es. He is now in London. His Royal Highness the Duke of CLARiNeE intends shortly to pay a visit to the Port Admiral, Sir J.Goas, and to the Commissioner, Sir R.BARLOW, at Chatham Dock-yard, which is cleaning up. and being properly adjusted for his Royal Highness's inspection. Yesterday, being All Soul's Day, the annual Ser mon was preached at the Parish Church of St. Mar garet, Westminster, pursuant to the Will of Mrs. JAHR BARNETT, commonly called the Oatmeal Wo man, deceased. She left to twenty widows of that parish, forty shillings per annum for ever; twenty shillings for a sermon ; twenty shillings to the WE• Ctrs of the parish for a treat ; and one of the dishes at the entertainment is always an oatmeal pudding ; and two-and-sixpence each to the clerk and sexton. Monopoly is considered one of the most odious fea tures in commercial transactions ; but this, we find, is not a case without an exception :" the Contractors for the present Lottery have monopolized all the Prizes of a Lottery of 20,000 Tickets in one of 10,000, and the Purchasers of the Tickets now on Sale have no objection to take the chance of EIGHT Prizes of £20,000, Two of which must be drawn in the First rive Minutes, Harr TUESDAY, 9th November. The net receipts of the late Grand Musical Festival at Edinburgh, which are to be appropriated to cha ritable purposes, amount to full Thirteen Thousand Pounds ! DRTIRT-LANE THEATRE.—Comedy continues to reign with uninterrupted sway at this Theatre. The Road to Ruin was performed last night, in excellent style. ELLISTON'S Harry, and Munors's Old Dorn ton, are master-pieces, of which praise would be super fluous. Kntonr, in Silky, and Miss KELLY, in So phia, displayed unrivalled excellence. HANLEY'S whim and spirit, w Goliffinch, obtained peals of applause. COVENT GARDRN.—The same Comedy was re presented at the rival Theatre. Mr. Etaaan was the ()Id Dondon, for the first time, and sustained the character in his usual style of excellence. Ilr..As-" SOT performed the part of Young Dorman with good effect; and Jones, as Goldfinch, was highly enter taining. Miss BRUNTI3N, as Sophia, and MTS. DAVE?" roar, as the Widow Warren, were quite " et &Uttar The reconciliation bet Teen Mr. Hinnit liAeiltts and Mr. CautaLes KIMBLE was creditable to both parties. It took place publicly in the Green Room ' of the Theatre, when the latter apologised to' the former for the harsh expressions he had used at the time this misunderstanding occurred ; and the forma to the leiter, for having .shuck hip, is the moment of irritatigt.

It is one of the proudest days for us, ,_ people of the Potteries have been the first in County of Stafford to assemble and consider i mentous affair. You are well aware, my countrymen, that it involves the lives and ii every individual in the British Empire. we may differ in political opinion, and howeve, our views of the same points of politics may be, can all form but one opinion concerning th e of the cause in which we are engaged. It we an act of the greatest injustice to ourselves our posterity, were we to shrink from the considering the malignant conduct of the ' ter Magistrates and Yeomanry. That such our Constable should refuse to consider thi will not astonish any of you who are present. have their own reasons for dissenting, and . ours for assenting to your wishes. Countrymen, enjoy the undoubted right of assembling; we post that freedom of discussion, which characteris great Nation, and it is our bounden duty to ha. 141 down to posterity. Only slaves murmur—free:lts remonstrate. It is the purpose of our enem:es l subdue our independence and reduce us to slur, But this can never be the case—for a Nation to cos tinue to prosper, it mast resolve to be free. it S i vereign Prince, or an overgrown Aristocracy, me ultimately end in the ruin of their Country. But* must declare, that while we respect our right s, II are determined to preserve them from the intaTa tions of a stipendiary Magistracy. Now it is tb duty of Magistrates to preserve and protect tbi People, whilst asserting their rights—not to ttlir quish them at their own caprice. May we, ml countrymen, cherish a regard to these rights-0 we communicate a knowledge of them to ocr Clilo dren, and may we never forego them but with lives. In discussing the subject, it cannot b e es pected that we can abstain altogether from topics controversy, because considerable difference 0: nion exists—yet, let not this prevent our keep in g view the grand question, and while we adm it defective state of Representation, let us conside: we have a good opportunity of examining the flu to don—let us confine ourselves as much as possib le the subject, and let every Gentleman wh o wisbei to address e Meeting be heard with respectful * tention."—(Cheers), Mr.Joun WHALLAT spoke to the following effect' -;•."
