FLANDERS MAIL. HAOCE, NOVEMBER 3. To-day the Second Chamber of the States Gene ral wac acsembled. Two Projects of Laws were read, both c,atir eto the regulation of Provincial limits, which were referred to the Sections. Several peti tions having been already presented, the President named a Committee of Petitions for the present Ses sion, after which the Assembly adjourned indefi nitely, though a great number of the Members of the Second Chamber, particularly from the Southern Provinces, have not yet arrived. The. deliberation on the proposed Projets of Laws continued in the Sec tions ; and a Report of the Central Section upon them is expected in one of the next following Sittings.— There are also many Members of the first Chamber still absent. LUCERNE, OCTOBER 19. 1! ~~~ iT t t i .1 Notwithstanding what has been said to the con trary, from many quarters, the festival of the 18th October, the anniversary of the Liberty of Germany, has been kept up with great solemnity in our neigh bourhood, by a number of German students, who came to Switzerland for the purpose. FRANKFORT, NOVEMBER 5. The Central Committee at Mentz, is or. the point of commencing its operations. It is still very un certain what may be the issue of them. The inquiries which have taken place, within these two months, have shewn that the Association of the Black is inti mately connected with the " Union of Virtue," (Tti-, genJbund) of 1813, which, at that time, enjoyed the protection of the higher Authorities. It seems that, in fact, the individuals who are now accused of projecting a change in our political organization, are the same who, in 1813 and 1814, sounded the alarm against the despotism of Bonaparte, and of whom use', was then wade to excite the People. The Conferences at Vienna, it is presumed, will be ' of the greatest importance. The smaller States of the Confederation, haying complained of non-ad mission to the Conferences at Carlsbad, have been in vited to send Members to Vienna. • M. Schmidt, of Bremen, is spoken of for the Free Cities. 'The subjects to be discussed at Vienna are said to - be the following:- 1. The Lateral application of the decisions of Carlsbad, pub lished by the Diet—their duration—the substitution of other less rigorous measures in their room. 2. The definitive organization of the Diet—its competence—the introduction of an executive power into the feudal system—the authentic interpretation of the Article of the Act of Confederation. 3. The revision of the regulation for the military organization—decision on the fortresses of the Confederation; as for Mentz, it would cost such large sums to re-establish it, that the Confederation renounces it, rather than incur the expenses. The first Conference will be on the 20th November. Right Ministers, viz. of Baden Cassel, Hano ver, Wurtemberg, Bavaria, Saxony, Austria, and Prussia, will hive a deliberative voice; the Ministers of all the other Sovereigns will have no vote, except when there is a division among the eight first; in this case a Committee of four Members, chosen from the eight, will decide in the last instance.

The Petition has been consigned to the care of the Earl of DoNOUGIIMORE and Mr.GRATTAN, agreeably to the Resolutions of a Catholic Meeting, held at Dublin on Saturday last, given in another part of our Paper. Another Meeting was held on Monday last, of the proceedings at which we have, by this morning's post, received a general outline, which we subjoin. We are concerned to learn, that it appears by certain Resolutions of the Magistrates . and others, that parties of persons, calling themselves Riblon-men, excite considerable alarm in the Counties of Galway and Roscommon. In the County of Ros common, Mr. ST. GEORGE, brother of Sir RICHARD, WAS assassinated on the 31st ult. within a few yards of his brother's house, which he had just left. •• ADJOURNED CATHOLIC MEETING. " .'Monday Eveniog, Six o'Clock. The Chair taken at four o'clock by Mr. OWEN O'CONNOR.—Petitions from the Parishes postponed till three o'clock to-morroW.—Mr. HAY named his Committee of Investigation, consisting of Lords Fnrscit and GORMANSTOWN, Sir E. BELLEW, Sir T. Eimosn, Mr. MURPHY, &c. &e. Mr. O'CoNtizt. arrived at half-past four; charged Mr. HAY with writing a letter to Mr. CANNING, in March or April' last, calling up the Resolutions of 1812, which abused the PRINCE REGENT, and with causing it to be published. The latter charge denied by Mr. Ha V, but would not explain as to Mr. CANNING'S Much discussion on the impropriety of Mr. conduct.—Mr. O'Cosult. to put his charges into writing, and to submit them to the Meeting tomor row. Mr. HAT stated in his letter, that the Resolu tions of 1813 were sent over by the Opposition, and ,muggled and passed at a Catholic Meeting.— .csolutions passed were got up in London," &c. Circular of the Cabinet of Berlin, given in cur [ns this day, mad• be considered as a curious and sting dOcumeut, in the present circumstances of Europe. It consists throughout of a deliberate and labourestapologf for the Resolutions adopted by the Diet at Frankfort. It professes, indeed, to be com• posed for the purpose of enabling' the Ministers of Prussia, at foreign Courts to place those Resolutions in the most favourable light—(" de les presenter dans le jour lc plus favombk !") The whole composition must, therefore, be read with a large allowance of wariness and , jealousy as to the objects for which it has been written. The basis of this justificktory Me moir is—" the legitimate terror which the'political and moral state of Germany has long inspired into the friends of social order and of the public tran quillity." The alleged causes and history of the tertar thus excited, arc then given in circumstantial detail. In Germany, like some other countries, the mass of the people are declared to be sound loyal, although, as it appears to a dispassionate looker-on, measures have been suggested, which it would be difficult to , defend, but by supposing that a great proportion of the same people have conspired to overthrow the Government. A Flanders Mail, with Btussels Papers to the 9th instant, arrived last night, from which we have givep-extracts in another column. This morning we received German Papers. It appears by a statement in a Berlin Paper, that the regular Prussian Army consists at present of the following troops : Guards Infantry - 17,908 - - - - 104,712 Cavalry Artillery 157,570 The whole of the Landwehr consists of 438,537 men, in 280 battalions, and 276 squadrons. The effect of the new German system is now abundantly apparent in the complexion of such of the Journals as have continued their publication. They are filled with vollies of unmeaning verbiage, levelled at Jacobins, would-be-Reformers, Revolu tionists, Anarchists, Leberales, &c. From Vienna it is stated, in a private letter, that a very active correspondence is kept up between the Austrian Government and the principal German Courts, which is understood to relate to the subjects that are to be discussed in Congress. One great ob ject of apprehension, at the present period, to some of the German Governments, is the Landwehr, which, in 1813, was eagerly looked to by them as the means of rescuing Germany from the yoke of BONAPA RTE. But the ideas of statesmen, it is added, have, upon this point, undergone a considerable change ; and when certain promises are recollected, which are not only not yet fulfilled, but which are now either evaded or refused, it is natural for some of the Governments of Germany to contemplate, with suspicion or terror, a numerous body of the People with arms in their hands. The dispatches received at Vienna from the . Austrian Minister at Warsaw (relating doubtless to the part taken by the Emperor of Rume respecting the affairs of Germany), are stated in a Frankfort article to have given rise to several Ministerial con ferences. A Courier was sent off to Berlin, and Esta fettes to several of the German Courts. The Minister for Foreign Affairs in Bavaria, the Count de Rem- BERG, is stated to have given in his resignation, which has been accepted by the KING--a circumstance that is considered indicative of the decline of Austrian in fluence in Bavaria, to which the Count de REcusErto was entirely devoted. It appears, by private letters from Paris, that con siderable general alarm had been excited, by the in disposition of the KING; to which the adjournment of the meeting of the two Chambers, till the 29th instant, is ascribed. Their funds fell two per cent. on an apprehension, as was said, that when Mom stxua comes to the throne he will favour the Confe deracy of Continental Sovereigns to enslave their subjects, and consequently endanger the tranquillity of France. According to accounts received from the Coast of Barbary, the Regencies have given an entirely un satisfactory answer to the demands of Admiral FREMANTLE and Admiral JURIEU, who went, with a combined English and French squadron, to insist on the renunciation of piracy. The plague has ceased at Algiers, but still rages at Tunis, where it has carried off 60,000 persons. We are indebted to an intelligent merchant at Buenos-Ayres, whose letter is dated on the 16th of August, for the following article : " By accounts received a few days ago from Chili, we are informed of Lord COCHRANE'S arrival at Val paraiso, in the O'Higgins, the Galvarino in company. When off Callao, his Lordship took three valuable American vessels. These vessels were chartered, and loaded with every description of warlike stores by the Spanish Minister, Orris, resident in the United States. One of these vessels had arrived at Valparaiso when the last accounts came away. She has seven thou sand stand of arms, powder, &c. &c. besides a large quantity of dollars on board. Lord COCHRANE, in a letter to the Director of Chili, gives u p hi s s h are o f prize -money to th e Patria, which, he says, he may call upon the Government for when the grand object is attained, but not till then. The second expedition, fitted out at Valparaiso, must have sailed by this time. It consists of the whole of the squadron, and about four thousand troops. There is also no ques tion they witl carry a regular Congreve rocket estab lishment with them. 'BLANCO remained under arrest, and Captain Guise was confirmed second in nom mud." - 1 NAVAL INTELLIGENtE. Poisrsatorm.

Saturday last, a Meeting of the Magistrates, Her-- tors, and respectable Householders of Lanark and the vicinity, was held at Lanark, for the purpose of con sidering the best means for providing work for the industrious operatives, likely to be soon out of em ployment. The PROVOST of Lanark was called to the Chair. The PROVOST stated, in general, that he and the other Magistrates, had thought it necessary to call the present Meeting, in order to represent to them that, from the depression of trade, a great number of operatives would be immediately throw out of em ployment, and that the town of Lanark, unless power fully assisted by the Gentlemen in the neighbour hood, could not afford means to meet the exigency and requested that the Gentlemen present would sug gest such modes of occupation as they should consider best calculated for the purpose. The Meeting having expressed their unanimous approbation of the conduct of the industrious open.- tives in that part of the County, Resolved, Ist, Collectively and individually, to promote, as far as lay in their power, every improvement, public and pri vate, calculated to give employment to the industrious classes within the Parish. Tke Meeting thereupon appointed a Committee to carry this Resolution into effect. The LOAD PROVOST of Glasgow, who honoured the Meeting with his presence on this occasion, stated, that he conceived the thanks of the Community to be justly due to the Provost and Magistrates, Heri tors, and respectable Householders of Lanark, for the humane, provident, and efficient measures they had adopted for the purpose of giving employment to the distressed operatives in their populous Parish. Mr. LiNur No, in expressing his cordial concurrence in the sentiments of the Lord Provost of Glasgow, said it ought, again and again, to be inculcated on the minds of the operatives (now suffering under a pressure which, he trusted, would be of short dura tion, and which they had sustained in the most ex emplary manner), that, in "all times of their exigen cies and distress, they would invariably find the he reditary Nobility and Gentry of the country, the Ma gistrates, and the respectable classes of the commu nity, to be their best, truest, and most efficient friends. The thanks of the Meeting were unanimously voted to the Provost of Lanark, for his conduct in the Chair. Several Gentlemen, before they left the County hall, specified particular pieces of work which they were ready to give to those operatives who may be disposed to labour in the fields., A very respectable Meeting took place on Friday, at Blackburn, pursuant to Publ!c Notice. Resolu tions were entered into, and an Address has been pre pared, which is intended shortly to be presented to his Royal Highness the PnlNce of WALES, expres sive of the firm attachment of this district to the Con stitution in Church and State. A Society is forming at Birmingham for " the Re futation and Suppression of Blasphemy and Sedition, and for Supporting the Civil Power and Established Authorities. The Society is to consist of all persons who have signed the Loyal Declaration, and of all other inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood, who may he favourable to the object. A Meeting of the Lieutenancy of the County of Denbigh, was to be held on the 9th of November, at Ruthin, convened by the Lord Lieutenant of that County, Sir W. • Wvsbr. Bart. for the purpose of adopting the best means for aiding the Civil Power, in the preservation of the public peace. It appears that some of the Staffordshire Yeomanry were assailed with stones in the streets of Burslem, on returning from their duty on Monday se'nnight (the day of the Meeting of the Potteries), by a num ber of persons collected there; and Mr. THOMAS GALLIMORE, of the Newcastle and Pottery Troop, received a severe blow in the face from a stone. A reward of twenty guineas has been offered for the discovery of the offender. Sunday morning, bet Ween two and three o'clock, a fire broke out in the counting.house of Mr. KING'S cotton-mill, Centre -street, Tradeston, Glasgow. Pre vious to the arrival of the city engines, the counting house was burnt down, and the fire had made consi derable progress in the lower flat of the mill, but by the prompt exertions of the firemen under the able superintendence of Mr. BLACK, they soon succeeded in extinguishing the names, without much further damage being sustained.

The indefatigable Mr. Hunt was present during the proceedings above-mentioned soon as the Grand Juty left the Court, tired for the purpose of consulting his Ai nerd, Mr. Bryant, and a few chosen frit the proceedings to which the following relates. Shortly after the Grand Jury had retired room they returned to the Court, all the Judi then present, their Foreman holding an in his hand. He stated that this indic to events which had occurred at Mancho6ter, Mr. %mar, the Clerk of the Grand J , that it was an indictment for perjury. the alleged offence was committed in Aliddl the Grand Jury wished to ascertain from whether they ought to proceed to examine . The indictment was (as was understood; James Platt, for perjury, in having s \VOT the Manchester Magistrates, on the 'lit last, that on the 16th James Moorhousc hustings, waving his hat, Scc.

The Grand Jury again retired to their roof Mr. Hunt sent another indictment to them. an indictment against one of the Yeomanry Carlton, for cutting and maiming the bo , Leigh. They continued considering it for and sent for the Acts touching their powers, eventually they again appeared in Court instructions. The CLIRIC stated, that another indictment been laid before the Grand Jury, connected Manchester events. It contained a chr and maiming, on the 16th August, at . it was preferred under Lord Ellethorougi G. 3, c. 58) ; it was entitled, like the former ment, " England to wit," and the Grand J , to know whether they could and ought to the examination of witnesses? Mr. Justice BAvcity called for the Statute tion, and examined it. He said he had pz looked at the 43d G. 3, c. 58, on which tln met* proceeded; and it gave the Grand power to proceed, where the alleged otfenc. committed within their own County.
