Mails from Hamburgh and Flanders arrived this forenoon. The following is given as an extract of a, letter from Gottingen, dated the 3d September: " Yesterday was published by the Royal Commis- 1 stoner Counsellor Falcke the final decision of the Ca binet Ministry in regard to the late disturbances here, which are now fully terminated. It combines rigour, with mildness and wisdom, and contains in substance the following regulations :-Ist. On account of the disturbance on the 11th of July (the attack upon the butcher's house) one native student has been expelled, two students have received of a year consilium twelve students are condemned to eight days impri sonment, and several have been liberated by an ezpur. gatory oath. The butcher Krische is to be imprisoned eight days, every other day upon bread and water.- -2d. On account of the disturbances on the 18th of July (the attack upon the military), one student is condemned to 14 days imprisonment, and the above mentioned butcher to eight days farther imprison ment. By an Ordinance not yet published, the Po lice Officer, who by adopting more serious measures might have quelled the disturbances at their origin. will be removed from Gottingen. What may yet be determined upon with respect to many organic arrangements in the University, can at present be only conjectured." We are happy to Snd that according to the most recent accounts from Carlsbad, the unfavourable re ports which have been in circulation respecting the health of Marshal Prince BLocuen, are in a, great measure dest'aute of foundatior. The Prince, it seems, has not quitted Carlsbad, and will remain there some weeks: he goes out every day, and is as well' as his age and some infirmities with which he has been a ;: icted for years will allow. Lord ..:asrLenzaoar and suite arrived at Brussels on Wednesday last, on his way to Aix-la-Chapelle. Lordship put up at the Hotel of Bellevue. The Paris Papers of Thursday and Friday have arrived since our last. The intelligence which has been received at Paris' from the different bead-quarters of the Army of Oc cupation, is all of a nature tending to confirm the general expectation of its speedy departure. At Sedan the heavy baggage waggons in the train of the Prus sian army have been ordered to retrograde towards the Rhine, and at Cambray the •Officers of the Eng glish Guards are seeking after pufchasers for their horses. But a circumstance of more certain import than either of these is, that Colonel BAUDRAND of the French Engineers, and M. MANRIN, Chief of Batta lion, in concert with several British Engineer Officers appointed by the Duke of WELLINGTON, are now oc clpied in making an inspection of the occupied places, in order to ascertain their condition previous to their restoration to the French Authorities. A similar inspection, it will be remembered, took place in November, 1815, when the Allied troops took pos session in virtue of the Treaty of Peace. General CANT.= and his associates, CHAPDELAINE, SOWGY, ROMILLY, and JOANNISp have addressed a Memorial to the Juge dinstruction, requesting a speedy report upon the case of conspiracy laid to their charge. The Judge heard two new witnesses in the affair on Thursday. The suit of M. CHAPDZLAINS against the authors of the Lettres Normundes, for a libel, contained in a paragraph respecting this conspiracy, came on for trial before the Tribunal of Correctional Police, on Wednesday, ►hen there being, in the opinion of the Court, nothing calumnious in the matter charged, the defendants were acquitted. A process is going on at Rome, with respect to the Abbes NATAL!, Ricci, and Mustscocct, who had, during a year ands half, carried on a brisk trade in fabricating and issuing counterfeit Papal Rescripts. They sold dispensations, crosses of Malta, acts of secularization, and pretended assignments of pen sions, and even proceeded so far as to interfere in ju dicial matters. The persecution of the Catholics by the Greeks had recommenced in Syria, with increased fury. At Aleppo, those who refuse to recognise the Greek Bishop as supreme pastor, and to attend the service of the Greek Church, are threatened with confisca- Coll of property, imprisonment and death. The Latin Missionaries are prevented from administering spi ritual consolation to the dying Catholics. At Jeru salem, on the 21 of May, the Greeks entered the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and so unmercifully bat the Ctliolic Priests who were celebrating mass, that one of them died of the blows he had received. The Greeks, it aptiyars, tolerate all sects but the C;:- tholica. AcCording to accounts from Turkey, the .previous report of Dreyeh, the capital of the Week bites, having been occupied by the troops of ißlfit• sag their is confirmed; mith the addition, that Ab /Matt Ben-Saed the chief of the sect was surrounded, and without any prospeit df escape. lathe absence of better matter to amuse its readers, the Quotidienne peesents them with an amusing politi • cal vagary under the head of the Barbary Powers. It is given very seriously, but 'is very quixotic withal. It begins with stating truly the grievous injuries which all the Christian Pokers of Europe have long suffered from the naval piracies of the Barbary corsairs, and the subsequent slavery of such of their subjects as have fallen into their hands ; it then proceeds to shew, we think'pretty clearly, that the plan entertained by some people, of utterly destroying the three chief ports of Algiers, Tripoli, and Tunis, and forcing the pirates to abandon the coast and rusticate in the interior, is a piece of romantic nonsense ; but that the world may not be without a hope of some time or other freeing itself from the intolerable insolence of these barbarians, it submits the following pro,cct to the friends of humanity, as one really worth con • 4ideration, as at once rational, simple, and practica ble. Let there, it says, be a perpetual blockade of Al giers, Tunis, and Tripali—let there be an everlasting squadron to keep up This blockade, which shall allow no ship of a warlike sort to issue from any of these parts—let all the maritime nations of Europe contii bnte equally in proportion to their respective resources to tie equiy ment and maintenance of this squadron— let the Comtnander in Chief of this squadron be named b If the cornmon consent of all the Powers—let this said Cotnmanee. only be obedient to the joint instructions of all the Powers, and not to the directions of any parti e alar State— let hint consider himself and his squadron as belonging to the whole of Europe, and not to any part of it, so that in the event of such a thing as war breaking out among the Powers, neither he nor his squadron shall be at the service of any of them, but are to remain neutral, for the general good, under all imaginable circumstances. And finally, let this squadron have a flag of its own, at sight of which all ports shall be open to them, and all men hail them as friends and protectors. It should have been added—And let the deviser of this grand scheme (not certainly Sir SYDNEY SMITH) be the person to be appointed to the Command-in-Chief of this said squa dron, and the vision would then have been complete. The French Funds, which at the beginning of last week suffered so sudden a depression, experienced before the close of it as remarkable a recovery. The 5 per Cents. with dividend from the 22d of September next, which left off on Tuesday at 73f. 30 c. rose on Thursday to 75 fr. and left off at 74 fr. 95 c. The same Stock, with dividend from 22d March, 1818, remains as before, at 77 fr. 75 c. PRIVATE LETTER. " PARIS, SIPTEMSER 10. " The . assassins of Colonel Dufay have not yet been apprehended, but the Police, it is said, has got a clue which it is hoped will lead to their discovery. From every thing that has transpired the malicious hopes of those who wished to have it believed that he owed the attempt to the private enmity of some of those connected with the parties with whom he has been at law, will be entirely frustrated. A little time will probably clear up the business by the dim., covery of the real perpetrators, and their employers, whoever they may have been.—lndeed while I am writing a report has reached me that the real assas sins have been dis Covered ; buc I cannot ascertain the fact in time'for this letter.' This morning the whole of the Excavators ern- 1 ployed in forming the new Canal from the Regent's Park to Limehouse refused to proceed to work unless they received an advance in their wages. Their em ployers resisted the demand, and an immense num-, ber were arranged along the*bants of the Canal at the hour of commencing business, but refused to touch either shovel or pick-ate unless their demand was complied with. The GRIYPON sloop of war, Captain WRIGHT, whose arrival at Portsmouth from St. Helena, we an nounced in the STAR of Friday, left that island on the 2d of August, having been relieved by the Dorram, Captain GORE. The CONQUEROR, 74, Capt. WALLIs, (flag-ship) ; RACOON, Capt. BRINE, PODAROUS, Capt. CAIRWIES ; REDPOLE, Lieut. PEARSON ; and DOT TEREL, Capt. GORE, were at St. Helena. The FA VOURITE arrived at St. Helena the latter end of July, and was at Ascension when the Gairrow touched there. The EURYDICE was at the Cape of Good Hope. MP. O'MEARA, late Surgeon to BONAPARTE, has tome home in the Garrnoo ; Mr. STOKOE, Surgeon of the Cowen:Elton has been appointed to supply his place. BONAPARTE, it is stated, had not been out of doors for several months, and was much indisposed with a liver complaint. The Governor had experi enced a serious attack of bowel complaint the begin ning of July, from which, however, he had recove red. We arc sorry to learn that the crew of the Cox- QUEROR, as well as the troops on the island of St. Helena, were in an unusually unhealthy state, and that many deaths had taken place. Capt. PAISLEY, of the REDPOLE, died at St. Helena on the 9th July, xfter an illness of about six weeks. Lieut. PEARSON, of the CONQUEROR, had been appointed to the com mand of the REDPOLE. Captain Bumf, of the East India Company's store-ship Mangles, died on the '.!)th July ; Mr. DtTNNING, of the CONQUEROR, pas senger, on board the GRIFFON, died on his' passage. The James transport, laden with condemned stores Ifrom the Cape, sailed for England on the same day with the Gatrrox, and was to be followed in a day or two by the brilliant transport, Lieut. BOTHWILLL. kA NOlEitinft. Our Aeaders will rejo ce to hear that nothing has occurred since our last accounts, to damp the hopes then entertained of the re-establishment of perfect I tranquillity. Our letters of this morning simply state that there has been no interruption to the ge neril quiet announced in former letters, nor any ap pearance of even a disposition to renew the troubles and alarm with which the place had been so long afflicted : " MANCHESTER, SEPTEMPF.R 12. " I am happy to inform you that all continues quiet here, and every thing tends to confirm what I stated in my last, that by Monday morning by far the greater pan of the workmen will be at their regular employment. This afternoon, those who have still stood out held a meeting here, attended by Deputies from Brackley, Stockport, tces when a general dispo sitioa was manifested to return quietly to their work ; and the chief fears ezpiessed among them were, that the Masters would not receive them. After this, some of them waited on the Masters, in a respectful manner, intreating that their late proceedings might be buried in oblivion ; that they might be permitted 'to resume their usual labours ; and that the Masters would take the state of their wages into early caui• d•ration. An) thing like a regular treaty on the part of the Masters was of course avoided, but the result was an impliei underaandiag that in the mean time the Factories would be open for them, and that when perfect order should be restored, tail case would be duly consicLa ed. In consequence, ere ex pect that on Monday the Factories will again be all in full operation. I have not been able to learn whe ther the Masters mean still to adhere to their former resolution of refusing work to those who had shewn themselves most active in the turn-out.—A little time will chew whether this is to be the system acted upon. " With the weavers every thing is quiet in this neighbourhood. The men wanted an increase of full , SO pet Cent. The Masters have pretty generally agreed to an advance of 20 per Cent. on the former wages. At Ashton the Masters have agreed to the full demand--tot however, to commence all at once, but to proceed by a rise of 10 per Cent. monthly (if the trade may be found able to bear it) till the ad tance reaches to from SO to SS per Cent.—We there fore consider peace and quiet as being perfectly restore PROM THE 24ANCIIRSTER COURIER, SEPTEMIIER 12. " By the unwearied exertions of the Borough reeve and constables, aided by the judicious arrange. ment of the military power, the town ancrneighbour hood has remained perfectly tranquil since our last ; and we have the satisfaction to state that the majority of the Spinners have returned to their employment. It is needless to particularize the different factories that have recommenced active eperations: for it is generally understood, that by Monday next, the whole of the persons rent tilling out will go in. " The principal Manufacturers having agreed to advance the wages of the Weavers, the greater part of them have resumed their employment. Hand bilk have been posted up, soliciting a subscription for those who still remain out. This the Magistrates are determined to check, on account of its evil ten dency ; and have therefore issued a public caution, warning the inhabitants of the illegality of contri buting or receiving contributions for promoting con spiracies among workmen. " We antlersmud that the persons in the Infir mary, who were wounded before Mr. Gray's factory, are going on favourably towards convalescence. " The subjoined proceedings at Chester, on Tues day, relative to the indictment against some of our principal agitators, will be read with much interest : ARRAIGNMENT OF BAGULET, DRUMMOND, AND JOHNSON. a Inslietment against John gaguley charges him with having, on the In September instant, at Stockport, to a large concourse of people there assembled, seditiously spoken certain words mentioned in the indictment, tending to excite his Majesty's liege subjects to acts of rebellion, and to bring hio Majesty and his Government Into disgrace." To which Baguley in a firm voice pleaded Not Guilty. Officer—s Are you now prepared to be tried open this in.. dictum:4 or will you traverse until the next Assizes r Baguley—" I conceive, not being prepared with any kind of witnessei, that It will behove me to traverse it until the bent Assizes.' " Indictment against Samuel Drummond, charges him with having on the same day, at Stockport, seditiously spoken certain wards mentioned in the indictment, to the like effect as the in dictment again Daguley." To which he pleaded Not Guilty, and upon being asked how he would be tried, in a firm voice replied, " By a Jury of my country." Officer—" Are you r.ow prepared to be tried upon this in dictrnent?-11rummond. Not at preernt." Officer —u Wilt ynu traverse tintli the next Assizes?—Druer.• mond. Certainly, I traverse." J. Johnson was then arraigned : The indictment charged him in the first count with having, in the course of an harangue to the people, uttered :edi tious words to the following effect : that he wished to call their attention to Lord Castlereagh, Lord Sid mouth, and G. Canning, and proceeded- - 4 , Mark what I am going to say, I say coolly and fearlessly, 'these three persons have dcne me an injury, and I will the4rst time I have an opportunity, blow their brains out, and I thigh I shall he doing the country a service by rids - lira it of three such characters.

They have made an unqualified submission to their etc ployers, and have in consequence been allowed to re sume their occupations and their comforts. Activity and laudable industry are now, therefore, beeline the delightful substitutes of disgusting arrogance and pauperizing indolence.. To thotnands how acceptable the change !—On Nionday the hands of Mr. D.Mtl Holt were allowed by him to commence ted duties, and in the course of the week the excellat example has been followed at most of the other ru• tories. The zest with which they have reaumed work is not a little singular. a It hai been a general strife who should secs his place the first, and there will probably be ice exceptions to a complete restoration of all to the cne fidence of their masters; but it is to be feared that there must be some, on an occasion of this serious kind, to whom that confidence cannot be very readily extended. At all events, character 01 in lutttre be is necessary criterion for placing men in large assem blages, where bad principles and disingeseous ad vice may lead to very great evils. To this intelli gence there is the additional pleasure of common eating, that all the Colliers arc returned to chair em ployments. And to complete the series of grr.etul domestic news, we are harpy to state that the ye tient, industrious, and well-disposed class of est, .the Weavers, are, with comparatively few eee:rtiins. again peaceably pursuing their, occupaticle.
