Accounts. from Alsace say, that in the course of this t?onth ICCO or la:0 men of the Austrian Con tinger.i of the Army of Occupatior, ccrr manded by General Jurrent, have returned to Germany, and have not hi hero been replaced by others. Several de tachments from the Bavarian Contingent have also returned home. The French infer from these circumstances, with much slaisfaction, that the whole fotce will soon de part. The Prussian corps., under General Ziethen, remains entire, and they flatter themselves, at the head-quarters, that the I:iug of Prussia will pay a' visi. to the camp before he goes to Aix-la-Chapelle. Since the I eturn of the Duke of Wellington to his head-quarters he has seat Couriers to London and Vienna. New institutions have been formed in refrard to the destinatic.ns of the Officers on half•pay in France. It is now calculated that their number may amount to between 23 and '26,000 ; of this number only 300 are placed upon actual service ; but it is imagined that the number will be increased to 7 or 800. DRUSSCI.S, JULY 1. It is positively asserted, that the Duke of Welling. ton has 'tired All hotel in this city, which gives reason to presume that his Grace will fix his abode here ; nothing, however, is said of the time or manner.

On the subject of the P.trisian Conspiracy, a letter, dated " London, 7th July," appears in a respectable Morning Paper of this day, which the Editor states to have been received anonymously, and written in French. The letter endeavours to throw discredit on the statement communicated by our Correspondent, and charges the French Minister of Police with hav ing fAbricated the tumour and sent it to be inserted, for the purpose of making it gain credit in France. We insert the letter, to which, however, we ought, to add, the Editor of the Paper to which we have alluded gives, himself, no credit whatever: " LO DOW, JULY 7. " Since the conuncr.cement of the French IttAalution, the Vi:tistry of Police has co...stantly caused to be inserted in foreign newspapers the lies which it desired should be credited in Frarce, azd as the letter dated Paris, July t, can have proceeded jam 1:o other quart,r than that impure source, and can have been written for no other purpose, allow me to give in your Jour sal the key of that ill .mous composi_ion. Tte names of those whom that letter seeks to Intreate as the chiefs or accomplices in a conspiracy against the person of the King, carry along with them a refutation of th-t infamous colutnny, and at the same time demonstrate that no beman re xat cal arrest the tr.anctuvres of its authors. Their only end WM and is to dethrone Me Howse If Bowing, and to ensure the im punity of their crimes by calirg in any Usurper of whom they should be at once the creators and the support. To attain that (...31 their plan has been to mislead tl:c King's judgment inces santly by fabrications of all kinds : to oppose consart obstacles to the re-estab!ishmcnt of Religion ; to calumniate without ilt. tcrruption h.+ 11 jesty's most f.dthful Servants; to destroy all tor.ourabh: vircipleat to sow discord and animosity among the • French; in a ss ntl, to disorganize all Institutions, to loosen every tie, and through the grief of sums, the disgust of others, and the reialortutie of ad, to arrive at that state of general apathy in which, as all bet cnues indifferent, all nay be attempted. Such alas! the fatal situation to seLicta they Lave reduced my un fortunate ,;ot.ntry." 'laving ourselves received from Paris, and first published the letter of t?d July to v.hich the above anonymous svi her alludes, none can better detect the fallacy of the gratuitous suppositions on which he founds his observations. The letter did not come front that impure source," the Ministry of Police, nor have we the vanity to wish to have it believed that we are in habits of correspondence with the French Ministers! Who, we should like to know, could give credit to such a pretension on our part, were we to set up such a claim ? No person in his sound mind—none but some stupid Ultra, or men of a similar calihte.—Out letter was not alionymous: it came from a known Correspondent :—a Gentle r:An who, though not a Minister, moves in the high est sphere ;—a person of u»impeachable veracity.— Now who ic the person v. ho challenges his veracity ? An anonymous scribbler—one whom nobody knows, who if known would prove to be nobody—a n.mentity in iatellect—an Ultra! Vie only add, that, whatever hesitation we have expressed respectiug the absolute accuracy of all the particulars of the detail, they have been partly re moved by this anonymous letter. None but an f,l!rl, knowing, or bel'eving, the truth of the state..- ment wi.ich he affects to discredit, could have bad recourse such an i /igen; Jus way to expose its fallacy. The Paris Papers of Sunday arrived this morning, but furnish nothing of importan:e. They still con tinue wholly silent as to the alle , ;cd conspiracy. The Funds are again on the rise.

From a series of liamburgh Papers ml.ich we have received to the 30th ult. we extract the fallowing ar ticles, respecting the internal policy of I,vecien and Norway: CHRISTIANIA, JUNE 15. In the Assembly of the Odelsthing, on the 9th. of this month, Count Wedellirlsburg brought forward the following Royal propositions : " 1. That it shall be prohibited to print in Norway, writings containing any thing directly or indirectly offensive or insulting to the Swedish nation, the form of administration of the laws, the classes of citizens, or any other general institutions of Sweden. " 2. That there shall be a similar prohibition for Sweden, iu respect of Norway. " 3. That the penalty of imprisonment, for a time to be fixed according to the circumstances of the case, not less ilia!' three months or more than three years, shall be inflicted, agaiast such authors as act in contravention of this prohibition. " 4. That the Editors of Newspapers and Public Journals, who admit articles of this nature, shall forfeit their right to print Newspapers in future; and that the Authorities of both king doms shall be bound immediately to super-. , " and sZciucittate such Paper. " 5. That the penalty of banishment shall be put in force against any author whose work contains a positive invitatio.i to trouble the union concludtd between both Kingdoms, or the existing order of Succession to the Tbrone. " 6. Thu the same punishment shall follow in case ths writ ing contains any thing which tends to restrain the rights and li berties of the sister Nation. " 7. That punishment, according to the laws of the Kingdom, shall fall on any Author, who, in a writing published in Nor way, calumniates a Swedish civil or other Officer, With regard to hLs conduct in his office, or a Swedish private individual; the same proceeding against a person residing in Sweden, who shall be guilty of such behaviour towards a Norwegian. 8. That there shall be a declaration of a Jury whether the Author of a writing in question be guilty or not; and that the punishment shall be determined by the competent Tribunals." These Fropositicus are shortly to be taken into mature consideration. STOCKHOLM, JUNE ID. From the official documents published during this Diet, it appears that the paper currency of the king , dom amounts to about thirty millions of Bank dol lirs, which are amply secured, partly by the Sinking Fund of 7.50,000 Banco dollars, partly by the landed property mortgaged by private persons, and that there is besides a fund of five millions of Bank dol lars in silver. In order to avoid consequences that might be injurious to any class of citizens, the Diet has resolved to lessen the realization of the paper currency till the next Diet, which will meet five years hence, and previously to take the necessary steps to prepare it; among which is, the grant of a million of dollars annually, partly to support the course of exchange, partly to augmant the fund of silver, the api,lica;ion of which is left to his Majesty. —The mass of the paper currency is neither to be increased nor diminished during this time, but what comes in will be again iss; . .ed as loans to asslsragr culture and the owners of mines, and by an exchange of all the notes in circulation, it is to be found out exactly, what part of the number registered in the books, has been entirely lost by wear or accidents. The regulation of the Discount Banks is also left to the Bank of the Kingdom. These and the addition of one quarter of a million to the extraordinary l , grant (hitherto two millions and a half) for the wants of the State, are the principal resolutions lately passed, which will lead to the expected now very near termination of this Diet, which has been sitting for this seven months. Madras Papers have been received, but none of a later date than those which had before come to hand. Of the proceedings of the Armies we learn but little that is new. Some few particulars, however, met it notice. In the affair of the l9th of December, at Jubbuipore, when Brigadier-General lIARDYMAN de feated the Soubah of that place, Captain FITZCLA RENEE, who had joined the detachment but a few days before, distinguish:xi himself greatly as a volunteer. Letters from Ootaree, dated the 26th of December, state, that the whole of the troops under Brigadier- General TooNE, have been exceedingly healthy. By a Government Proclamation, it is ordered that the Silver Rupee shall in future constitute the Stan dard Coin of the Presidency of Madras. The coinage of the Pagoda is to be discontinued. This measure will save an infinite deal of trouble to Merchants and others, who have extensive pecuniary transactions with the different Presidencies. Sir GeoncE COOPER, the new Judge at Madras, landed them on the 24th of January; and on the 26th he took his scat on the 13ench with the usual formalities. Sir /I EXANDEfI JouNsrnNe, Chief Justice of Ceylon, had proceeded with his family to England, on board the Alexander. It appears by advices which have reached this country, that the American Government has deter mined to strengthen its frontiers immediately adja cent to the Spanish territory of East and West no ridit, by the erection of fortifications. It is petfe..A:y understood that the works arc not intended as piu tections against any hostility from the Spaniards, I.n -such is their state of feebleness, and such for a cen tury has been their lassitude and indifferem.e, that no aggression is at all to be apprehended from that quarter. The purpose is to check the incursions of the Indians in the eitensive reztions of the Ylo sidas, against whom the Spaniards are incapable of preserving subordination, and who se in ur be almost equally &I:Irmo; to friends and enernios. According to infcrrnation received front the 'neer Department at Wasl:ington, ;Lis subint, it is intended to contract before Augisq, iorfront cue t two millions of cubit feet of building stone, upwards of eighty thousand feet of timber, and bricl.s and lime in proportion. One hundred carpenters, from one hundred to one hundred and fifty masons, and from two to three hundred labourers, are to proceed to Mobile to construct the edifices of v...rious de scriptions on Eh! river Mississipyi, and at Lakes , Ponopalra and Barataria, with places. The following shocking details are communicated in a letter from Martinig.v::, dated clay 15: " On the 29th ultimo, the Fretich schooner Emily ...tiled from La Guyra for this port, and on the Ist instant, about faur o'clock, P.M. a little to the windward of Cape Cad: ra, was brought to and boarded by the Independent schooner Little I' lican, commanded by a Negro, who kept possession of the vessel upwards of Li: hours, robbed the passengers, Captain, and crew of their money, clothing, and in fact every article of value t!...iy could lay &It hands on; tortured the boatswain, to form: bins to confess wh:rc money right be concealed, and in sulted the passengers (two "of them were Ladies) in a most in human manner. It was stated by sonic prisoners whom th_y put on board, that the crew of the szhoo.ter Lad risen upon the former Captain, whom thy left on shore at the island of Mar guretta ; killed the second in cuitintod, and proc:eded to eta (with toe First and Second Lieutenants in iron.) for the avowed purpose of plundering every thing they fell in with, and then proceeding to St. Durniogo. The .choo.ier appeared to be abou 100 tons, was armed with a 9-pounder upon a pivot, and four carronades, with a complement of fifty men, about forty of whom were negroc.." Although the account of the state of her MAJESTY yesterday was no more favourable than that the QUEEN was a little better, vet we are happy to say she was so much better than she was en Monday, as to be able to receive the Princess ADELAIDE, of Meiningen, and the Duchess, her mother, at Kew Palace, where they arrived about two o'cluek. They were conducted over the Palace and Gardens. and after partaking of some refreshment, they left Kew about four, and arrived at their Hotel about Jive. They dined at six, and afterwards honoured Coveat- Garden Theatre with their presence. The PRINCE REGENT left town yesterday after noon, about half-past four o'clock, to attend the QUEEN at Kew. The Duke of CLARENCE left town ..00n afterwards for the same purpor ie. Yesterday the Duke of CLARE . NCE had an inter view with the PRINCE REGENT at C.u•iton Muse. The Duke of CLARENos visited the Princess of NiEtNisoKs and the Duchess yesterday. The Duke of \OKK was introduced to the Princess and the Duchess on Monday. The marriage of the Duke of CLARENCE With tLe Princess ALFLAIDE of MENtscEs is said to be Ecd fur :Thursday. The Grand Duke MICHAEL sets out on Thursday, on his our through England, Scotland, and Ireland. Yesterday morning, about eleven o'clock, the Duke and Duchess of C.s.marma6E, with the Landgrave of flivssE CAssEt., left town for Kew. There has been some disrespect shewn by some person or persons in office in France, to the Prince and Princess of IlEssr-Homßouno. They arrived in the Royal yacht off Calais on Monday afternoon, and it being low water, they were put on shore in an open boat about four o'clock, when the only military honour the amiable ilrincess ELIZABETH, the daugh ter of the KING and QUEEN of Great Britain, the sister of the PRINCE REGENT, received, consisted of three soldiers and a corporal in undress, and they did not even present arms, and did not pay any attention to the illustrious personages ; whereas, when the Grand Duke MicitArt. arrived there, he was rece:%- ed with a discharge of cannon, as is the case when an Ambassador passes through. The Prince and Princess remained at an hotel till twelve o'clock the next day, and there was no guard of honour at their door. Monday afternon, about four o'clock. the Grand Duke MICHAEL, attended by Baron NICOL AY, ar rived at Cumberland House, Kew Green, where they were received by the Royal Duke and Duchess. In a short time afterwards they went in an open car riage of the Duke of CUMBERLAND'S to Ilatnpton Court Palace, which they viewed, as well as the gar dens and grounds attached to it. They returned to Cumberland House to dinner, where there we:e also the Count and Countess LiEvrx; the Marquis and Marchioness of Wouccsrl:n, &c. The Grand Dtto returned to town on Monday nVit. Yesterday hi, Imperial Highness attended at the Russian Chapel in Welbeck-street. .• In consequence of the rule established in this Court by the present Vt;.-E-Cuaticert.on, of striking out of the paper all those cases the Counsel and So licitors engaged in which are nc,t prepared to proceed with them when tin y are called over, no fewer than nine cases were yesterday morning struck cut, and his Honour rose at an early hour. CITY Bust Ess.—Yesterday the Lon n MAYost held a Court of Aldermen at Guildhall.—Joni lloßEters, Esq. one of the She: iris Elect, attended, and gave. bond to take upon himself tic office on the 2Sill of September next. TuomAs WiLsoN, Esq, the other Sheriff Elect, attended, and stated, that being a Member of Parliament he did not conceive himself liable to be called upon to execute that office, and therefore refused to give bond. The LORD MAvok was, therefore, requested to issue his precept for Election of another person.—Eight Bars of Geld, weighing about 81.0 ounces, were sworn to, p:evious to exportation. The Assize Court of Paris was occupied on Friday last in investigating the affair of the impostor cal ling himself Count PONTIS, of St. Helena, NVIIO was discovered to have formerly been sentenced to 14 yerrs hard Lbour in icons, Leeu gully of horse-breaking, but who e,ca , ? :rout the galleys t Toulon.
