The letters patent respecting a voluntary loan; to be paid partly in bonds of the State, bearing interest, =end partly in the circulating paper •currency, has produced a very agreeable sensation amorg the pub. slit creditors. The measure, which will certainly withdraw a very large quantity of our paper currency , from circulation (since it is to be destroyed as it ,comes in), is at the same timacalculated with the' greatest justice towards the interests of the p atter, ublicl eteditors, particularly those abroad, since the l in the present state of our exchange, may make the isteeessary payment on very advantageous terms. Those holders of State bonds, who do not make um of the advantages offered them by the letters patent, 'will have to Wane themselves. should they at ss fa. tare time perhaps be declared to have forfeited them. Novinums Si—Jerome Bonaparte, who, with his wife, are still at Haimberg, with Madame Murat, has received, by express, from his brother-in-low, the resent King of Wirtemberg, the notification of the 'death of his father-in-law, and, as it is said, has, at. the same time, received an invitation to return into the kingdom of Wirtemberg if he wishes it. It is, however, supposed. that he will not accept of this in vitation, having lately purchased large estates in this Empire (among others the Lordship of Wald near St. Pollen, which belonged to Count Fuchs). His wife, who was prematurely delivered a few days ago, is dangerously ill. • . NEW STRELITZ, NOVEMBER 7. '' Our revered Grand Duke found himself well during the whole journey which he took last summer to Rebburg, Schwalbach, and Hildburghansen, and returned in good health to this place. A few days after his ieturo, be was attacked by an inflammation ;in the lungs, of which he, however, perfectly rezo 6vered in three days, and on the sth of November, in the morning, was particularly cheerful and in spirits ; ' but on the 6th he was suddenly seized with an apo plectic fit, about five in the morning, and that so seem, that he immediately lost the use of his facul ties, and at half past three in the afternoon his value- Me life. Of his children, only the second son, Duke C..liarles, was present. the Hereditary Grand puke not having . yet returned from the journey which he undertook in autumn. To his subjects this generous Prince was a real father, who endeavoured to soften the distresses of the times with wisdom , faithfu lness, and love, and Fby personal sacrifices. Nor will Germany forget "that, of the less powerful Princes of our nation, he •uts the first who. at no saaaV risk. gleclased snips ,the oppressor, and supported to Inc utmost a sus .power the good and generil causz. The Prussians, in particular, will honour him as the father of their late Queen; and the goglish, as the brother of their excellent Queen. Charles Louis Frederick was born October 10, 1741, lived a long time in the Hanoverian service, and succeeded his brother in the Government of Mecklenburg-Sue-lite, in 1794. Of the sovereignty 'given him by the forced Rhenish Confederation, be made no use to oppress his tom subjects. But on the deliverance of the country, he obtained an accession to his dominions, and the dignity of Grand Duke. He was twice married, and that to twUsisters, of the House of Darmstadt, Frederica Caroline and Char lotte Wilhelmina. Four children of the last marriage survive him—the present Grand Duke Frederick Charles. born 1779, and the consorts of the Duke of liildburghausen, of the Prince of 'tour aneraxis, and of the Duke of Cumberland. Duke Charles Frederick Augustus is of the second marriage. BERLIN, NOVEMBER 9.

The King is greatly affected at the death of his father•in.law and revered friend, the Duke of Meck lenburg-Strelitz, and immediately commanded deer Court mourning, without waiting for the usual aoti. fication. The Court puts on mourning to-morrow,' for three weeks, on this occasion. SMYRNA, OCT6SER 11. • ' . • ''' - The Cadi of this tiff, at the express command of the Captain Pasha,( while he was at Amlier, ° Mille roads with the Turkish Beet. lately had the inter preters of all the Consuls here,,and Deputies from weerakneighbouring districts; called together, to ley before them the commands which be bad received 1 from the High Admiral. These related priecipailr to the abuse which had crept in ,under the admini• 'motion of the late Moslim (who was beheaded' en board the Captain Pacha's feet). viz. that several Turks of this city had lately placed themselves under the protection of the Foreign - Consuls, put on the European dress, and so freed themselves from the cafes to which they were liable . ; for which reason the Admiral enjoined these Turks, thus transformed to Europeans, to return to their duty as subjects, demanded of the neighbouring districts an exact list of all these apostates, and requested the toreign Consuls to bind themselves by s declaration-4 1. Not•to take any Turkish subjects under their protection. S. To make themselves 'answerable for ..he coo rclnct of their respective countrymen, and those under their protection. , . S. To send away from this place all thoire •willt might, trouble the public tranquillity. 4.

It seems, however, to be beyond a doubt, tint' the Admiral's design Was to induce the Consuls to tend away many strangers, who hang about in this populous city, without any fixed profession, and to be in future responsible for every disorder which could be attributed to 'their countrymen. Thei dignified and firm refusal has obliged him to have receorte to an evasion ; but it is not unlikely that the Government itself will make proposals of a similar tendency. CONSTANTINOPI.E, OCTOBER to. The Sultan Kyajassi is gone as Commissioner of ' ' the Porte to Stnyrna, to sequestrate for the Grand Seignior the property of the late beheaded Moslim. The brother of the latter, who was at the head of the Customs, with two of his nepliews, are banished, and their property sequestrated. From the high rank of the officer sent on this important mission, it i; con cluded that his voyage to Smyrna must have some more important object. On the 12th, another great fire brake nut in To iphana. and raged for some hours after midnight.— But for the pres.uce of the Sultan, and the exertions of the firemen, it would scarcely have been possible to save a magnificent mosque just built, and the great barracks of the cannoniers and artillery train. Eight of the gun-boats belonging to the Grand Admiral's float have returned. The number of pirates whom he has taken and executed during bis cruise, is said to be 150. ST. PETERSBURGH, OCTOBER M. On the 25th his Majesty the Emperor arrived in good health at Gotschina, where he was expected by -their Majesties the Empresses Elizabeth and Maria, and by the Grand Duke Michael. On the 26th, the birth day of the Empress Mother was celebrated there ; and yesterday we had the happiness to see his Majesty in this city. BRUSSELS, NOVEMBER IC The French Government has appointed two Lieu tenant-Generals and two Marechaux de Camp, to inspect the troops in the French fortresses on the north frontier. This inspection comprises the troops of all arms. They expect at Lille the 71st Legion, from the interior, to reinforce the garrison. DRESDEN, NOVEMBER a. A perfectly successful imitation of the Congrevel rockets has been made by two ingenious Artillery Officers. The substance with which they are filled is said to surpass the English in goodness.

As the !titer published by the Duke of PORTLAND, stating an apprehended scarcity of Coro, had the effect instantly to raise wheat to a price altogether unprecedented ; so the letter of Lord Sostanvtue, published last week in the different Newspapers, has already had• the effect considerably to enhance the price of every kind of grain. .Let us hope that it will riot lead to the same miseries which were then expe. rienced, in consequence of speculations which imme. diately *ok place in Corn. immense quantities were collected in warehouses ill-adapted to the purpose, compared with .the moderate-sixed granaries to be found on farming establishments. The result was, that much wheat got heated aad spoiled, and was entirely lost to the public. The evils then experienced will be aggravated .in the present state of the country, should his Lordship's letter produce the same mania for speculation which followed the letter of /SOO; net can any one foresee the. consequences to .which it miy lead. In fact, mach of our present distress may. in our opinion, be attributed to the Doke of Postudates letter, though the period of its appearance is no* so remote ; for the.bargains in corn, which - in . many instances-was sold five, seven, nay ten times over before it found its way to the mill, and the flour also was frequently subjected to repeated sales—and each of these sales produced a Bill of Exchange negotiable at the Bankers, so that the same quantity of corn was Ire. quently represented in the circulating paper medium by Bank Notes to eight times the amount of its real value ! Could such an unnatural increase of the circulating medium, beyond the value of the real property which it represented, be productive of any thing but mischief? The high prices of corn raised the price of labour— this the - price of all other commodities, increasing the demands of the landholder. In kelf-defence, and in , justice to himself, he raised his rent : this again caused an increase of the previous evils; the farmers kept' raising - their prices, to indemnify themselves for the increased tent, &c. &C. 'arc. acid, in one word, the 'lcountry was brought to .the brink of ruin. . Big had the war no share in hastening on the pre . sent crisis? Yes, certainly, for an increase of taxes , bectenewecemeary; bat the , evils-of war were aura vated by the °Oxidate( the sytteit to vsidcb web**, ; .

No—no such thing. Look at the site of a tradesman receiving his payments in paper pared with the man when the time was in whil received them in gold.

General feeling produces consent of action any thing like previous concert—hence the , of the price of cora, of labour, Of merchandise, rents. Will it be in the power of speculators- to enhance them to the same ruinous extent as? We say No, certainly not. The alarm about hended scarcity (and which is an unfounded may have a temporary effect, but, in our present cumstances, cannot possibly lead to the same results as formerly. .
