In consequence of a representation made to the Diet, a new organization in respect to the Jews is said to be resolved upon, which will make useful subjects of them, instead of their remaining as then lave done for nearly six centuries employed exclu sively in trade, to the exclusion of agriculture. In the 12th, 13th, and 14th centuries, the Jews who were persecuted, particularly in Germany, form- ' , cd an asylum in Poland, and Obtained from Boles laus IV. grandfather of Casimir the Great, King of Poland, extraordinary privileges, which were con firmed to them by Casimir the Great in 1243, but revoked in the year 1505, by King Alexander, on account of the abuse that had been made of them. The audit* of a pamphlet in the Polish language, lately published, proposes to send a part of the Po lish Jews to Tartary, to cultivate the soil. FROM THE FRONTIERS OF RUSSIA, MAY It Marquis Palucci, Governor of Riga, has ordered money to be paid at N. Nimmersatt, to M. Keller and the other attendants of Madame Krudener, to enable them to proceed on their journey. VIENNA, MAY 9. A few days ago Count Ladislaus Urbna arrived here on his return from Brazil, whither he was sent a year ago with the news of the marriage by proxy of the Princess Royal of Portugal. The attack made by pirates on the packet-boat on board which Count Urbna returned, excites very extraordinary sensations here. There are many reports in circulation respect ing this robbery. The property taken on this occa sion is of immense value. Count Urbna had with him presents and insignia of the highest value for his Imperial Highness the Crown Prince, for Prince Metternich, &c. The Count was in the utmost dan ger of his life, and the pirates seemed resolved to sink the packet-boat. From these circumstances it is concluded by the public, that it was their intention not to suffer a trace of the robbery to remain. Our Councillor of Legation, Baron Von Pura, marries a Lady of a noble family at Rio Janeiro, who possesses a fortune of no less than fire millians of piastres. VIENNA, MAY it. Count ljrbna has brought the most pleasing ac- 'counts of the health of the Crown Princess Leo pol dine. It was on the 21st of March that the Eliza beth packet, which he was on bcard of, was attacked by a privateer under Spanish colours, and entirely pillaged ; all the passengers were robbed of every thing they possessed, and all the dispatches and let ters. thrown into the sea, except a letter from the Crown Princess to her august father, and a letter from Baron Nevea, It will be remembered, that the packet boat on board which Count Schoenfeld returned from Brazil was also attacked by pirates. It is to be hoped the English will find means to revenge these repeated insults to their flag in the Atlantic Ocean. It is said that some frigates will be equipped in order to pro- Ant the passage of the packets between Falmouth and the Brazils. STOCK HOLKMAY 8. The King has named the Crown Prince to be the , head of the Military Deputation, consisting of the Colonel and a Captain of each regiment, Which has assembled here for the approaching Coronation. De puties from the Storthing, in Norway, and some re giments have also arrived. In general such a num ber of strangers arc flocking hither, that they have often to wait, for day's stages, till post-horses can be procured. The Bth, as well as the 10th of June, is now named as the day when the dissolution of Parliament will take place or be announced. We have heard that the Assizes will in general be put off to a week later than usual, in order to prevent their interference with the bustle of elections. The Poor Laws Settlement Bill, it will be seen by the proceedings in the Commons, was put off till the next Session, which will probably be the first Session of a new Parliament. We wish we could say as much of the Poor Law Amendment, and the Parish Vestry Bills, and particularly the latter—these, how ever, passed their natural stages in the Lords, with but little remark. The Parish Vestry Bill operates a perfect revolution in our parochial law. The Harriet, which has arrived at Liverpool, has brought letters from Baenos Ayres to the 16tli . of February, and from Santiago, the capital of Chili, to the 9.3 d January. The provinces of La Plata conti nue to enjoy perfect tranquillity, and all the advan tages to be derived from the improved system of government. The active scenes of warfare, it would seem, are again soon to be transferred to Chili. In the last accounts we published from the same quarter, we stated that the Viceroy of Peru had determined to fit out an expedition with a view to attempt the recap ture of Chili, and avert the storm ready to burst on that part of the country under his immediate com mand. It would now appear that expedition has been out 4'2 days without being heard of. General SAN MARTIN was at Valparaiso, and General O'iliactNs at Conception, with their respective corps, anxiously waiting the arrival of the enemy.— The people are confident there will not be one man left of the expedition to carry back the information of its fate to the Vice.king. . . iItIELV. ft affords us great pleasure to be able to announce that her Matteary is nearly tecovered film her in• disposition. On Sunday evening she was so much better as to be able to enjoy the society of a family party till near eleven o'clock, consisting of the Prin• cos AtrOurrA, the Duke and Duchess of GLoncas- Tea, the Prince and Princess of Huss itosinounc, and the Princess SOPHIA of' Gtoucestga. The Quay; was up the greater part of yesterday, and was so much recovered as to bear the noise of car riages near the Palace. The iron railing gates, in• closing the lawn or court-yard, were ordered to be opened for the admission of the different branches of the Royal Family, as usual, to the front entrance to the grand hall. The following 'Bulletin was issued this day " Queen's Palace, May es, half-past Eleven, A.M. " The QURICII continues much the same to-day as her MAJZSTY was yesterday, having passed another good night. (Signed) " FRANCIS MILMAY. " HENRY HALVORD." The Palms RZO/NT, and the Prince of IlEssz HOMBOORG, left town this morning, to attend the Review at Holmlow. Last night the Purrcs RZOENT honoured the per formance of the Philharmonic Society, in the Ar gyll Rooms with his presence, for the first time since the establishment of that Musical Society. ' Last night the Duke and Duchess of Qz.oucasfse, attended by Colonel }lmams, Captains Cuazow and . Forrza, and Lady CHARLOTTE WYNNE BILLASYSR, honoured Covent-garden Theatre with their presence, to see the play of Isabella, &Juba:tee, and Harklui* Gulliver. Yesterday the Duke of YORK transacted military business with the PRINCE REGENT. The Duke of CUMBERLAND visited the PRINCE Rzontr yesterday. The Countess COWPER has lately suffered under premature confinement at Brighton, but is now not only out of danger, but even better than could have been expected. The Archduchess MARIA LOUISA will ♦isit Vienna in the course of the summer, to see her son, ybung NAPOLEON. Sir HUMPHRY and Lady DAVY left town yesterday for the Continent. Sir Homprtay's first object is to assist the miners of Flanders and Germany in using his safety lamp for the preservation of their lives ; and his second object to go to Naples, for the purpose of applying a chymical process to the unrolling of the Herculaneum MSS. His Royal Highness the Parma Rzossrr, we understand, honoured Sir HUM PHRY DAVY with an audience before his departure, and was graciously pleased to encourage his under taking, and afford to it his patronage. His Royal Highness, we believe, has never lost sight of these interesting remains; and it it sincerely to be hoped that his enlightened views and exalted patronage, bringing into activity the resources of - British Science, will at length unfold to the literary world these hid den treasures of Greek and Roman learning. Saturday a deputation of the Electors of West minster waited upon Mr. WETHERELL, to receive his answer to a requisition, desiring him to come forward at the ensuing General Election, to offer himself as a candidate to represent the City of West minster in Parliament. Mr. WETHERELL said, he felt proud, that many of the most respectable and independent Gentlemen, inhabitants of Westminster, should have done him the honour to fix upon him, las a person fit to represent them in Parliament ; and he hoped they would accept his unfeigned thanks for their good wishes and their pledge-of support, if he thought it advisable to accede to their proposals ; he was, however, compelled, not from any doubt of success, to decline the honour—partly from his pro fessional engagements, and other private reasons. The Candidates for the Representation of the County of Wilts in the ensuing Parliament are, Mr. METHUEN, Mr. LONOWELLZSLEY, and Mr. BENNET. The Town and Council of Perth have unanimously resolved to support ARCHIBALD CAMPBELL, Esq. of Blythswood, at the ensuing general election. Mr. BRANSBY COOPER expects to come in for Glou cester, in the room of Mr. HOWARD, who retires. A severe contest is expected to take place for the City of Worcester: the candidates are, Sir WILLIAM Dm , GO)IDON and Colonel DAvlss—both are most sanguine in their expectations of success; and it is supposed, from the determined manner in which the contest will be conducted, that the expense of each candidate, at the lowest estimate, will exceed 10,0001. Mr. K/NNERSLIT and Mr. mum. concluded a successful canvass at Newcastle on Monday se night. Mr. C. JENKINsos having declined the future re presentation of Bridgenorth, Sir T. J. TYRWHITT has offered himself. So very eager are certain Boroughs for a Reform in Parliament, and for pure representation, that they are advertising in all directions for a third man, to— kick up a good dust ! The following is a statement of the number of Barrels of Strong Beer brewed within the limits of the chief office of the Excise, during the three years l ending the sth of July, 1817:-1815-1,768,472] barrels; 1816-1,725,3771 barrels ; and in 1817- 1,532,352 t barrels. Mrs. Jane Scott, a widow Lady, who died a few days ago ati Workington, has left by her will 8001. in perpetuity to Trustees, that they may yearly pay two pounds each to i poor women dwelling in Workington, on New Year's Day. A news-carrier of B ath, one of whose arms remains nacof fated on the plains of Salamanca, has, within this week, in order that his body might not share the same fate, purchased a coffin, which he has had taken home.

Tuesday, in consequence of private information, a search was made on one of the islands convenient to where the Tessa lay at the time of the piracy, when the three unfortunate men . • who composed the crew of said boat, were discovered in a pit, with their throats cut from ear to ear, their heads and hall a much lacerated, and a large rope bracing them together.

Bosse/Litres WEALTH.--It is a matter of specn- .• 1 lation in some of our daily prints, by what means 1 Bonaparte has acquired the immense riches which it is I said he has lately become possessed of. The circum- stance of a draft for a large amount, signed Nam- POLEON, having been presented and duly honoured • 1 i at a certain eminent Banker's, has given rise to the it idea, (not at all unlikely) that he had employed an - $,. agent to buy Lottery Tickets ; and when it is recol- lected that MARTIN and Co. of 8, Corahill, and 120, t Oxford• street, lately sold Prizes of 40,0001.20,0001. t I• • 10,0001. &c. it is not improbable that he made his purchases at their Offices, where they hope to sell part of the Three 20,0001. Prizes in the Lottery to commence 4th of JUNE. An Old Jest transposed.—A Gentleman who had • I i i ... been reading the List of Capitals sold by Brut last Lottery, observed, that " Edinburgh had a Share of • ; Vi• both his Thirty Thousands, and Canterbury had Two Shares also."—" Not also," replied a friend, " but hie- t wise!" Similar wisdom, or rather good luck, was dis- 0 ti •;* I . played at Thetford, where two clubs, held at diffe- rent inns, had Shares of his £30,000 and £'20,000 r • ; Prizes, in two following Lotteries, avid both were • shared by SIMI. It appears by the Scheme of the , • new Lottery, that he has greater scope for his. talent in selling Capitals, and he will no doubt have to an- f . ' nounce (ax usual ) that the major part have been sold I by him. • 4,4„-;
