Two Ducklings were declared this morning; btst fiieir defalcation is not to a considerable amount. 'la r d Houses have failed in the City, one of which is said to have £250,000 in paper afloat in the Market. The amount of the ex pected Loan is now reported to fie 2.5 Millions : this, with the present gloomr'state of trade, has tended materially to affect the Funds. The Commissioners were•served in Consols at 73, by two Jobbers. Hamburgh; Dutch, and Flanders Mails arrived this morning. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Kara reached Brussels, on their way to England, on Sunday hst. • Their axtival, therefore, may be daily expected. There have been some quarrels between different Military Corps at Brussels, and which seem net to have, been quite settled when the Mail came away. rxiirate accounts from Warsaw say, that his Ma jesty.tbe Emperor of RUSSIA, King of POLAXID, is shortly expected in that Capital, to be present at an exdicirdinaiy Diet which will be convoked there. The! German Papers contain some partictilars reo, vesting the system of Government preparing for Hanover, which we have given among the subjoined' Extracts: • ,BRUSSELS, APRIL 9. Yesterday evening, at half-past seven, a foot soldier of titirl4arrison was found expiring in our streets, and . ceeil 'dead to our Hospital. He was stabbed in farplaces iii the breast, and had a sabre wound on* head. Arilthin a few days several other sol diers, moveior less severely wounded, have been car ried to the. H?lpital. It appears that this man re ceived his wdunds' in a quarrel at a public-house; that an unhappy dissention has by some means broken out between the troops composing the Gar risono whiclivrould probably have been attended on this occasion with fatal consequences but for the exertions of the Officers, who, with some difficulty, restrained the soldiers of both corps. A Court Mar tial is engaged in the investigation of the affair, in order to punish the guilty. Aram 12.—Notwithstanding the present measures taken by the Military Authorities and the active vi gilance of the Officers both of the Cavalry and In fantry, to prevent new disputes between the soldiers. of both arms, they could not hinder an accidental rencontre, as it seems, between some Subaltern Offi cers of the Infantry and some Hussars. Yesterday afternoon, in the faubourg of Ramar, they were al ready engaged, when a detachment of the Royal Marechansse galloped up, separated the combatants, and took seven Hussars to the watch-house. An in dividual who imprudently took part in the affair, i was severely wounded with a sabre. Numerous pa.' traits prevented the occurrence of any further disor der, which was much apprehended. The Duke and Duchess of Kent arrived resterday afternoon in this city, where the greater pet of their' suite had already arrived before them. Accounts from Frankfort, just received, state that die Fair is extremely favourable for woollen goods. particularly the cloths of Verviers and its neigh. bourhood.

The strength of this AriSto cracy is in the associations which bind each Member on his honour to follow the system adopted by the majority. The Statesmen of Germany directed their efforts to the dissolution of these associations, and to strengthening the authority of the Academic Senates. HANOVER, APRIL 3. The Assembly of the States is near to its dissolu tion.--In the Sitting of to-day was read a communi cation from the Prince Regent, of the sth January last, in which his Royal Highness declares his views with respect to the future General Assembly of the States, and requires the opinion of the Assembly. In this communication his Royal Highness says— " That it is not the plan to make great changes in the Constitution, according to which the States have the right to grant taxes and to share in the legisla tion, partly because experience has shewn the utility of this ancient Constitution of the country, and partly because Constitutions introduced upon merely theo retical principles will never be so advantageous as those which have been gra dually formed according to the wants of the State." His Royal Highness ob serves, that as, according to the ancient Constitution, the Provincial Assemblies are mostly divided into two Curile, or Chambers, the General Assembly of 'the States of the Kingdom must also be divided in the same manner. According to the plan, • the first Chamber shall consist of the Mediatised Princes and Counts, the Hereditary Land Marshal of the King dom, the Members of the Equestrian Order, who after founding a Majorat of a certain extent have obtained a vote, the President of the Chief Board of Taxes, and the Presidents of the Provinces of Lune burg and Bremen. The 33 Deputies to be chosen by the Equestrian Order, and the Catholic Bishops and Protestant Abbots of the higher order. In the Second Chamber will be the Members of the Board of Taxes who are not noble, the thr,ee Depu- ties from the l' of Ecclesiastical Pro- perty, the Deputies of the smaller Abbies, one De puty from the University of Gottingen, twenty-nine from the Cities, and twenty-two from the possessors of free estates who do not belong to the Equestrian Order. The Hereditary Grand Marshal, and in his absence the President of the Chief Board of Taxes, I presides over the united Chambers. Each Chamber proposes three of its Members, from whom the So vereign selects one to be its President. The Diet meets every year. The Members are elected for six , years, but may be re-elected. Nopersons will ever be admitted to bray- the debates. The propositions for the sovereign are to be ad. dressed to both Chambers ; if their decisions do not agree, a union is to be attempted by a Commission chosen by both,, to which Commissioners from the Sovereign may be added, to promote an agreement. It is necessary in propositions from the State that both Chambers should agree: the present Assembly is invited to deliberate on this subject, after which it will be dissolved. business of consequence' • of tee of their num • k , j4 c 4 ncy e C o mm issi on ,nccasicolte4 by the clisqualiftca _ ceased. to be a Deputy, ean.no longer fill the office of u Commissioner. Tbe three members whO -united the greatest number of suffrages, were the 'juke of CARTE, M. BRETON, asd M. TRNNEAUT.... The election from these lies with his MAJLETT. The Chamber afterwards re solved into Secret Committee. M. LAINE submitted a propositicnt for an Address to the King, requesting his Majesty to introduce a law for the suppression of all duties upon wine ex ported.—M. CLAUSKL de CoNseacues made another proposition for a law against duels. Both proposi tions were resolved to be taken into consideration, and the Movers appointed to derelope the grounds of them on Thursday. All the Italian Journals received at Park continue still silent as to the conspiracy, which was said to have been detected, against the life of the Emperor of Austria. The Gazette of Florence speaks on the contrary of the joy with which his Majesty was received on the 29th Maich, at Sienna, where he re paired with the Empress, on leaving Florence, and of the fetes which were in prepar4tion, in honour of his arrival. An article from Manheim, of the 6th of April, and another from Rastadt, of the '7th, state po sitively that Sand, the assassin of Koramint, still lives, though all hopes of his final recovery are gone. On the night of the sth he was transfer red from the Civil Hospital, where he was first carried, to the adjoining . House of Correction.— The preliminary precognition which had been taken into the affair not appearing sufficient to the Autho rities, a al Commission has been named, to in quire fart into it, composed of Judges of the first rank, and presided by the Chancellor of the Superior Aulic Tribunal, M. de Hohenhorts. In spite of the pain he sufferi from his wounds, Sand still continues tranquil, and exults in the success of his enterprise. He persists in saying that be had no accomplices ; but a circumstance has transpired which seems to indicate otherwise. The keeper of the Inn where he put up has deposed that another young man arrived along with him ; but of this person no trace can now be found. Several literary characters of Germany are said to have since this fatal event received anonymous letters, threatening them with similar vengeance. A ship arrived at Leghorn from Tunis, reports that, on leaving Tunis three months ago, the plague was raging there with the utmost violence; the deaths amounted to fifteen daily ; and in some of the little villages around there was not a person left.

The Margrave LEOPOLD,. the eldest of the Counts of Hochberg, is shortly to espouse the eldest of th e daughters of the Ex-Queen FREDERICA of Sweden. The celebration of the marriage only awaits the con lent of the Emperor of RUSSIA. Rome is now so crowded with English travellers, that some quarters of it are said to have all the op ,pearance of English towns. Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the East India-house, when the new Directors elected on Wednesday took the oaths and their seats.

The following is an extract of a letter from the Agent of the Russia Company in London, by which it will be seen that the important reduction of 10 per cen;, on all goods imported and exported from Rus sia has taken place : " Petersburgh, FebnarS , 23. 4 4 An Ukase has been issued, directing, that in the levying of duties in the different Custom-houses, for the year 1819, the silver rouble shall be taken at three roubles and 60 copiqucs,Bank-notes, which make a reduction of 10 per cent. on the duties of all imports and exports, excepting on those that pay ad valorem. " Some persons having claimed the right to pay duties on - goods imported last year, and still in the Custom-house, at the new rate of three roubles and 60 copiques ; it has been- decided that the old duties shall be charged on all goods which shall have been received at any Custom-Louse, previous to the receipt of the present order. " I have further to announce, that the order from the Department of Foreign COmmerct: to the Peter..- burgh Custom-house, dated the Bth of February has been made public, au thorising the importation of runs at the sartre duty as is levied on brandy and arras::, viz. 10 roubles per anker (silver), and I hope to be enabled to send a copy and translation of the Ukase by an early conveyance. " In the meantime it is necessary to understari that the duty on all spirits is, levied according to tl-eir strength, that thel.3west duty is 10 roubles per anger, and if below, and not above what is here denomtna ted 10 degrees.

The murderer of Kotzebue was still living yester day. It is asserted that several writers, who are sup posed to entertain the same sentiments as Kotzebue, have received anonymous letters, in which they are warned not to be traitors to the cause of Germany. The Paris Papers for Monday and Tuesday arrived this forenoon. On Sunday, after the conclusion of Mass, which the KING beard in his apartments, his MAJESTY held a Levee at the Chateau, which was attended by a nu merous and brilliant assemblage. On Tuesday the Bureau of the Chamber of Depu ties, conducted by M. de Cwas, presented to his *MA- Jerry the Project of Law on Tobacco, adopted by the Chamber in the Sitting of Saturday the 10th.

The Minister of War, in pursuance of a Report from the Committee of Defence, has adopted a plan approved by the KING, the object. of which, we are told, is to ensure the strength and independence of France by making its power respected abroad. All the places of the first, second, and third lines of de 'fence, are to be put successively into the best state; the artillery and every material necessary for com pleting their re-establishment, are to arrive from the ,interior inthe course of the Spring, and will be distribu r ted among the fortresses according as they are wastild The cannon unfit for service will-be recast at Donny.
