Our Government, which has lately concluded with the Principalities of Hohenzollern, Hechingen, and Seg maringen, a convention, by which those States recipro cally guarantee the freedom of trade in the interior, and abolish the Custom-houses on their respective frontiers, has just entered into negotiations with the Bavarian Government, which are founded on the same principles. The two Courts have agreed on the chief articles, and there is treason to hope that Bavatia and Wuttemburg will shortly abolish the Custom-houses between them, and will form, in commercial respects, only one State. Nothing can be more advantageous to the land! owners and merchants, and all those who exercise any branch of industry, than the prospect of seeing the market extend to a population of five millions of per sons. There is reason to hope that when the example is set by these two Powers, the other Governments of Southern Germany will soon be convinced, that in com merce, as well as in other things, united powers are best, and will join Bavaria and Wurtemburg. DARMSTADT, NOVEMBER 13. In consequence of the great damage done by inun dations since the beginning of this month, in many parts of the provinces of Stackenburg and the Upper Rhine, the Ministry has ordered that the levying of taxes on those whose houses or furniture have suffered by the inundations, shall be provisionally suspended for the moothe of November and Decembe.. if their situa tion is such, that till they have obtained the legal re duction of taxes to which they are entitled, they cannot pay taxes without depriving themselves of necessaries. The Officers of the Garrison, and the greater number of Civil Officers, have subscribed two per cent. of their salaries for the relief of the sufferers, and the inhabitants in general have subscribed considerable sums for the same purpose. ELBERFELD, NOVEMBER S. Oar Gazette contains an •• extract from the Report of the Agents of the German American Mining Company, who are gone to Mexico." In a letter from the Port of St. Sacrificios we read, 44 Vera Cruz is a vast ruin. Not a single house is undamaged, and the greater num ber are abandoned. An the streets are covered with rubbish, fragments of shells and cannon balk, and none are seen passing through them but soldiers. And what an appearance do those make? Some wear uniforms of cloth. others linen jackets, but most of them have only large straw hats, with no clothing but a shirt and trowsers, without shoes, or any other garment, or or at most a narrow piece of carpet, with a hale cut in it for the head to pass through, thus . forming a stubsti• • tute for a cloak. A bad sabre often fastened with a rope round the waist, and a musket, are their only arms. Yet the people are in high spirits and proud of their liberty." It is stated, and the news, though wanting confirma tion, is by no means improbable, that the GUANO SEIG• MDR has been deposed. This information is not only inserted in the Austrian Papers, where it would never have obtained admission if it could possibly have been denied, but is also conveyed in letters from Constan tinople itself. One dated October the 21st, has been received, which announces that the Turkish capi tal was in a stare of general consternation, " from the Greek fleet having taken a position at the mouth of , the Dardanelles, by which the .usual supplies of corn and provisions were completely cut off." Nothing could more clearly demonstrate to the people of Constanti nople the real issue of the late campaign than such a step on the part of the Greeks. Letters from Constantinople, confirm the news of the decapitation of the Capta;• Paella. He was beheaded in one of the Courts of the Seraglio, in the presence of the SULTAN himself; and it remains to be seen whether this sacrifice will render the Turks better seamen, Ansi the next Captaiii Pacha more fortunate. This morning we received a file of Lisbon Gazettes, from the Ist to the 11th inst. They are principally filled with extracts from French, Spanish, and English Journals: they bare nothing from Brazil but extracts; 'from the Rio de Janeiro Journals (from the English Papers), nor is nay mention whatever made of the lately discovered conspiracy. The Gasette of the grief Novernhei ,contains a Notice from the Board of Ileahh (dated so far back as the 22d of October), in which it is stated, that the Portuguese Consul at New York, in a dispatch of the 4th of Sept. and at Philadelphia, in a dispatch of the SOth August, have given notice that the yellow fever had appeared at Charleston and New Orleans. The Board accordingly orders vessels from these and the neighbouring ports to perform quarantine. THE ARMY.

She left Belfast on Tuesday morning, about eight o'clock, with thirty-four passengers on board, of whom only eleven and one of the crew were saved ; the Captain and the rest of the crew were all lost. She came to anchor at Blackwater Foot, in the fore part of the night, but having lost their beat (the rigging having given way) they could not make the shore, and their cable parted about three o'clock in the morning, when she drove against the rocks and went to pieces. She appears to have been loaded with pork and l cotton yarn in copes; a great part of the copes have cannon shore. PENZANCE, Nov. 20.—The Coast, from the Land's End to the' Mount, was, on Thursday covered with wreck of different descrip tions. The stern of a vessel. with Celia. of Stockhohn, on it, is on shore ne.ir Lamoraacove. Several beams have been taken up—one 24 feet long; also masts, yards, &c. A quantity of loose coffee, and part of the stern of a vessel, said to be driven on shore at Port leven. It is reported that vessel struck on the Rundlestone on Tuesday night. Several guns were heard, and fears are entertained that more than our vessel has suffered. _ _ _ Waxman, Nov. 19.—A large ship, supposed to be the Marquis Wellington, was lost the 16th instant, about twelve miles to. the northward of this port, and it is feared the crew drowned; part of the stern, frame, &c. and several spars, have been washed on shore. lisstanaost, - Nov. 9.—The Sprightly, Norms; and the High. and Lad, VR:KERMAN, both for London, have put back with da mage. The accounts from here continue to be of such a nature as to lead us to apprehend that sonic of the vessels that sailed on the 2d instant, and have not returned, must be lost. SHITWIRECK —Thursday morning it blew a very heavy gale, and at about half past six o'clock die brig Juno, of Jersey, Fut mis Ls nsves master, from Jersey to Glasgow, was driven on shore at Burling Gap, westward of Beachy Head, and near the station of Lieutenant Ciatics, ILN. of the Coast Blockade. With great promptness that Gentleman immediately ordered the lashings to be taken front the men's hammocks, and to be spliced together, which being done, the men under his command proceeded towards the vessel, acrd after several attempts, through a tremendous sea, he l at length succeeded in getting a line on Ward, by which means the whitle crew were saved. Soon after this was accomplished, the vessel remaining whole, Lieutenant Cusses with two of his men, got on board, unbent her sails, got her topga llant-masts and topmasts down, and on the tide's ebbing got out two anchors and cables tn. wards the sea, to prevent the vessel drifting in and dashing against the cliff, which she would have done had the gale continued. Should the weather continue moderate, hopes are entertained that the ves sel will be got off; the cargo is all saved. and now lies in a perishing state. The cargo is principally the property of the Captain, and is not insured: the whole of theihip's stores are saved. This is the second crew that Lieut. CLAace has saved within 15 mceiths. The light Hon. GliOnGe CANNING has been proposed to become an Honorary Member of the Royal Dublin Society, on account of the interest he was pleased to take, and the satisfactiodhe expressed at the Establishment in general. when he honoured it by a visit last September, by JOHN Beam, Esq.

Mr. Miertraws last night closed his perforMans,ei for the season. The House was crowded in every pan. The piece presented was Me Trip to America; and never WAS this incomparable mimic seen to more advantage. At the conclusion of the evening's amusement, Mr. 'MAvtiews came forward, and addressed the audience to the following effect : .4 Callow as Gawri.sonnt—Allow me now to throw of my , adopted character, and assume my real one, and In that, to perform the molt pleasing task which can be imposed on me, viz. to return you my most sincere and grateful acknowledgments for the flat tering patronage and encouragement which I have received front you, during my appearance before you. " Ladies and Gentlemen the . pleasure which I feel in re turning you my thanks on this occasion is not unalloyed by pain. occasioned by the necessity which I am under of bidding you fare well fee the present. Other engagements will occupy my time 'and attention until February neat, when, Ladies and Gentlemen, I shall again, with your permission, have the boomer of appearing before you. The interval will be devoted by me to making such arrangements, and preparing such an entertainment as may contri bute to your amusement, and prove in some degree worthy of the very Battering patronage with which you have honoured me. Lo llies and Gentlemen, until the period I have named, I most re ‘ipettfully bid you farewell." The Address was received with, and the curtain fell amidst, the warmest expressions of applause. Covent-Garden and Drury Lane Theatres are busily preparing novelties; each announces a new Tragedy. At Covent- Garden, The Fromm Lake is to shine forth. At Drury, a grand Oriental Romance, and an Operatic Farce, are in rehearsal. Success attend them all. The minor Theatres are very well attended, an they p• resent the public with a succession of variety that exciteaattentioot and adds considerably to the generatstock of public amusement. MESSRS.

Yesterday the Duchess of GtoncstrrEn received vi- Alts from the Duke of Yoax and the Binceas Sarnia. The !foga Duchess was better yesterday. An elopement has taken place from Leicester, within the last few days, which has excited no inconsiderable portion of enaerna tion during the last week. The gallant is a married man, b etween forty and fifty, lining a public dice in the town; the Lady unmarried, about twenty-five years of age, recently living as com panion t o her seducer's wife, and the daughter o f a re s p ecta bl e i n . habitant. The Injured wife, it seems, was prevailed upon to visit a watering-per a week or two ago, and her absence was taken advantage of to make arrangements for the intended journey. fullitiv th i :t ildeCt Lo a rd . &lOM'S is said to be the place of retreat which the th e ad u In tact, a passage of sta l A t ita i ro s ai sta a t ni ed va in at t T h riest e A c tiviti es t 2 days t as the ship passed the Dardaneu ess s part of the Turkish fleet lay there, in bad condition.

New watch-houses are forthwith to be erected at Bletchington, Newhaven, Bear's Hide, Saltdean, Rettingdean, and Black Rock. The lands are already purchased, and the building contracts taken.' Yesterday, in the Court of King's Bench, Mr. Wat son and Mr. Bliss, found guilty at the last Sittings of the Court of Assaulting Mr. Mann, received judgment. The assault rose out of the party feuds which have so long existed in the parish of Bethnal.. green. The COURT, after lamenting the circumstance that party feuds should in any ;parish be carried on to such an extent, sentenced the defendant Watson to pay to the King a fine of £5O, and the defendant Bliss to pay to the King a fine of 101. and to he severally imprisoned in the custody of the Marshal of the Abraham until such Ernes be paid. The letters from the out ports (as might be expected from the violence of the late gales) give some melan choly accounts of the shipping on the western coast. Many ships, we regret to state, appear to byte been en tirely lost with their crews ; the pieces of wreck, and other circumstances, leave little room to doubt of these disasters. Amongst the vessels lost are many foreign r ships, whose names are unknown. This morning the metropolis was visited with a strong gale, which blew from the S.S.W. It has done considerable damage to the houses near the water side, on the north side of the river below bridge. Tiles and chimney pots fell in all directions, and as a hackney-coach was passing through Rosemary-lane, a chimney-pot fell on the roof. The streets in the vicinity lof Goodman's-fields, are literally strewed with tiles. A boat crossing the river below bridg e , was upset ; the waterman and two passengers saved. Two barges were drove by the wind from their moorings at Bank side and carried by the ebb tide, one on the starlings of LonClon•bridge, the other stops up completely the sixth arch oci the north side of the bridge.

FROM TUE CALEDONIAN MERCURY OP SATURDAT We gave such particulars in our l ast o f the late talc . mitous fires as we were able to collect in the alarm an d confusion then prevailing. The ex tent o f t h e desreati - ; could nit at that time be exactly traced. B ut now th,,: the crisis is past, and that we have leissuse to survey the scene of ruin, it appears more f r i g h t f u l even char, we could have imagined. Along the front o f the liih" street there are destroyed four lands of six stories ea ch besides the sunk stories; from these down toware' the Cowgate by Conn's Close, two wooden lands ; in the Old Assembly Close, four kinds of sit or seven storiet six smaller tenements in Borthwick's Close ; four lard: of six stories in the Old Fishmarlcet Close. 1/.) wolooni . , nearly as far as the Cowgate nothing is to he seen b,,, frightful heaps of rain, to which all approach is reed elec i dangerous by the walls which are still left standi ng different places, but in an extremely tottering condition. Along the front of the Parliament-square, tour d ou b le lands, or (torn seven to eleven stories each, have bee n destroyed, great past of the walls of which have t at . len ; other pasts are still standing, but in such a O w . tered condition that they threaten destruction to the re. o • ining houses near them, in consequence of which, i t was yesterday judged expedient to order their b e f og pulled down. It is difficult to estimate the number t i families that have beers rendered houseless by the pre. sent calamity, but the number cannot fall short of 250. Such a seene of calamity as this is seldom paralleled in the annals of domestic life. About eleven o'clock on Tuesday morning, a porti on of the building occupied by the Courant Office, imme diately over the premises of Mr. Rymer, gave way, at a moment when unfortunately three boys were in it._ One of them move lucky coon the others made his escape. The rubbish, in falling. shut the two folding doors, just so as to entrap the second, who was released from his perilous situation by the tearing up of the door; right foot seemed to be severely hurt. The third boy was totally overwhelmed with the rubbish, from whence his miserable father recovered his mutilated corpse on Thursday morning. Thursday and yesterday the workmen have been em ployed in pulling down such parts of the walls as are yet standing ; but they are so :battered as to threaten destruction to everything pear them. The ruinous wall which was left standing in the Parliament-square has such a dangerous appearance, that none of the workmen can return with any security to the workshops or print ing-offices in the Old Fish-mat ket Close, until it is pulled down, which was hut pattially efkcted yesterday after noon. The walls of the burnt tenement in the Old Fah market Close were pulled down yesterday, and fell in such masses on the porter's lodge of the Police Office as ,completely to level it with the ground. The guard ;room on the left side of the gate is also much injured. The police °niters found great difficulty in removing the inhabitants of those bosses which seemed to be its danger from their proximity to the standing ruins. Yesterday a body of about forty seamen and marines was brought from the ship of war in the roads, with a chain cable and some other necessary preparations, for the purpose of polling down the gable wall overlook- , 'ing the Cowgate: The preparations were completed last night; a chain cable having been got through one of the windows, and brought round by the back of the wall, is attached to a block and tackling, the whole fastened to a large beam of wood in the north side of the square, which is secured by a wooden pile driven into the ground. They are at present proceeding to pull down this wall. The ruinous wall near the Police Office is to be undermined. The plan, we understand, is to blow up the under-put of it, and at once bring down the whole mass towards the Parliament-equate, to which it already inclines. They are at present err gaged in mining, kir the purpose of completing this hazardous operation. The subscription already commenced, we are happy to say, is of the most liberal character. Sir William Forbes and Co. have generously contributed i.:500. Considerable apprehensions were entertained respecting the bell of the Tron Church, which, (tom its enormous weight, about two tons, was expected to come to the ground with a dreadful crash. Such was the heat of the flames, however, that it soon gave way, and came down piece-Meal in a melted state. We have seen a fragment of it, which a Gentleman proposes to deposit in the collection of the Antiquarian Society, as a me: mento of this lamentable occurrence. COURT OF k.MG_BEN(3I, N0P.92. THE KING, 011 THE IiROSECUTION Of THE MARQUIS OR HASTINGS. V. THE SUNDAY TIMES. Mr. SCARIATT moved for a r ule, calling on the pro prietor and printer of ilia Sunday T inter to shew cause why a criminal information should not be exhibited against them, for a libel on the M4quis of Histingss It was headed, " Intended impeachment of an illustrious personage ;" and proceeded to state, that " extraordi r nary discoveries had been made at the India House r arid to insinuate that, in consequence of a deficiency to the extent of 300,0001 e the Coon of Directors intended to impeaCh an illustrious person, with an allusion to the apparent determination to withhold the usual pension from the late Governor-Gene al in India. The Marquis cff Hastings, in his affidavit, stated, that he believed the paragraph was intended to apply to him ; that he had been Governor-General of India from October, 1813, tO January, 1823 ; that, doting that time, thee was no deficit in any account whatever under his controul; that he had never participated nor sought to participate in any fund to which, as GovernOrAleneral, he was not fully entitled; but that, on the contrary, he had refused to take advantages, which, he un.terstood, felted 01,1 y an custom, and not on positive law. The Noble Marquis further deposed, that theme was never, to his knowledge, any intention of preferring an impeachment against him on the ground of a deficiency or on any other cause; that no accusation or complaint of bud) a nature ever was made against him ; and that he believed the proceed ings at the India House relative to the grant of a pel. , sion rested on other and different grounds. Thus ti:lt Marquis of Hastings had given a lull denial of all the allegations in this libellous paragraph, and all the in , ferences which could be drawn from it by the reader. The LOUD CHIEF Jusrecit.—HaVe you alli.lavks to Ming home the publication to the parties against whom you move? Mr. Scams:v.—l have, my Lord. The Loan Cum Juirrsm—Then take a rule to shew cause.
