The Directors of the trade of the Levant, and of the navigation of the Mediterranean, have just an nounced, according to a letter from his Majesty's Consul at Gibraltar, dated December 31, that Vice- Admiral Van Braam, who is at Madeira, with his squatb on, has received orders to send some vessels to cruize between Cape St. Vincent and Cadiz, in order, if necessary, to protect our Bag against the in sults of the Insurgent privateers. FRANKFORT, JANUARY 20. It is affirmed that the Diet was employed yester day in discussing a proposal made by his Excellency the Minister President, relative to the military con tingent of the German Confederation, and that this proposition was received ad referendum. The pro posed basis of the partition of t)te contingent is two per Cent. cf the population. INSPRUCK. JANUARY IS. The opening of the States of this Principality took place on the lath. SWITZERLAND, JANUARY 16. • The ex-conventionalist, Lawrence, who was ar rested some months ago in France, has just obtained from his Majesty Louis XVIII. the favour of being allowed to return to France. He lived near Grenoble, when the law forced hith to quit his country. VIENNA, JANUARY so. The regulations of the Austrian National Bank, drawn up last year, and approved by his Majesty, were published on the 10th of January. The whole forms 162 paragraphs. -TM presents which are an nually given by the Contracting Powers upon the conclusion of treaties of peace, marriages, and other conventions, which have been accumulating for some years, have been now divided among the Officers of the Privy, Aulic, and State Chancery. It is believed that the Diet will not long delay in fixing the military contingent of the Germanic Con federation. They reckon from twenty-eight to twenty nine millions of persons in the population of the States forming the Confederation. The military contingent in time of peace will be 120,000 men, of which 96,000 will be infantry, 18,000 cavalry, and 6,000 artillery, &c. The report that salt and tobacco are soon to be paid for in cash, not in paper, is still kept up. The reports which are revived from time to time in fo reign papers, of an approaching meeting of several European Sovereigns at Prague, are entirely ground less. The meeting of these Sovereigns, is to be, it is said, at Dusseldorf. JANUA 14.—.. We daily . expect the publication of new nominations to various offices of State. Count Chorinsky is to have the place of Chancellor of Bo hemia under Count Sanrau. The report of the re moval of Baron Stunner from Constantinople to Trieste, seems to be confirmed. The unhappy death of his son, who was carried off by the plague, has so greatly affected him, that he has begged the Em peror to recall him from his post as soon as possible. Counsellor Von Brensur is spoken of as his successor. The nomination of Baron Bartholomew Strumer, hi therto our Commissioner at St. Helena, to the post of Austrian Ambacw to the United States of Ame rica, was announced by an Imperial resolutlbn of the 13th ultimo, and Philadelphia, for the present, as signed him for his residence. This nomination has been announced to the merchants by the Prague Ga zette of the 9th instant. It is, however, much to be doubted, whether M. Von Strumer wjllbe at his new post before the middle of this year. The Prague Gazette of the 11th instant contains a long . article to refute a pretended letter from Bohe mia in the new Rhenish Mercury of December 23, in which the tale of great preparations making . for the reception of distinguished visitors at Prague is again brought forward. At the same time, the silly asser tion that the Austrian Observer was the cause of the disappearance of certain German and other Papers from the Austrian Post Office lists, is treated as it deserves ; and it is plainly declared that this measure has doubtless been caused merely by the tendency of these Papers themselves. The great number of other Papers, both German and foreign, which have remained upon the lists, and the not inconsiderable number of Newspapers and other periodical Journals that have been lately added to sufficiently shew that this determination of the Government must have had some other ground than the pretended influence of the Austrian Observer. AFPAIR OP Ft; ALDEs.—Rhodez,Jan.l7.—Maidame Manson appears exceedingly depressed since her.arri val at Albi. During the last days of her residence at Rhodez, she applied herself very closely to the pre paration of her defence: she, however, suddenly ceased, as if she had totally abandoned the idea of defending herself, and now seems to look forward to the trial with indifference. M. de FAYDEL, who is to preside at the trial, arrived from Toulouse at Ilhodez on the 12th instant: he has visited carefully the house of the deceased, and the places referred to by the witnesses in their examinations. Bousquier was brought from the place of his confinement, and, under the eyes of the President (M. FAYDEL) and the tiab-Prefect, traced the path taken by the party that threw the body of the deceased into the water.— lie pointed out the exact course, and the different places where the party conveying the body halted. The residence of licincal has been examined with the greases'- care, and in fact every possible inquiry made to promote the ends of justice. The trial will, it is comitence on the Sd February. The con supposed, duct of the President has obtained the respect and confidence of all the inhabitants of Rhodez. All the persons summoned to attend are most zealous in pro moting the ends of justice. A detachment of dra rionshas been tent to Rhodez, by Lieutenant-Ge neral Viscount be BRICIM. The prisoners, it is said. will be soon t,onveyed to Albi. M. DE FAYDEL set out from fritodez for Albi, on the morning of Use l6th.--4Paru roper.) rr ~? .1 1 ENIING LONDON.

The Paris Papers of Tuesday arrived this morning. The discussion in the Chamber of Deputies on the Project for Recruiting the Army has at length come to a close. In a Sitting of the Chamber on Monday,. after M. Amami., Under-Secretary of State in the War Department, had been heard, in refutation of the objections to the Prqject, there was a general call for the closing of the debate; and on its being put to the vote, it was almost unanimously carried.— The Reporter on the Project, Count D'Assattutorao. then proceeded to make a general reply to the objec tions which had been made to the report of the Com mission, and was followed by the Minister of War, Marshal Gouvtox Sr. Cii, who, in a very animated speech, which called forth this loudest expressions of applause, enforced the adoption of the Project as es sentially conducive to the safety and glory of France. Te Chamber then adjourned till the following days when the President will give his summary of the question, and the Articles of the Project will be voted upon in succession. An article from Berlin affects to repel with indig nation the charge which has lately been made against the Prussian Government, of being engaged in a r.ego ciation with certain other Powers for the purpose of limiting the liberty of the press. So contrary, it seems, is this to the fact, that the Prussian Cabinet is at present actually engaged in a plan for establish ing the liberty of the press throughout all the Prus sian States, and the circulation of all foreign periodi cal works and journals, even those of countries where the freedom of the press is most unlimited, is freely permitted. Prince Wrt.trete of PRUSSIA, after having passed seven months with the Imperial Family of Russia, has returned to Berlin. French Five per Cents. Monday-66fr. 60c. We have received this morning Philadelphia Papers to the Ist of January. It is stated, on the authority of the Nem York Gazette, that all proceedings relative to the Floridas have been for the present suspended, in consequence, it is believed, of orders received by the Spanish Minister from his Government.—General Gnixes left Fort Scott on the sth of December, and has since arrived at Fort Hawkins. It is said that he contemplates visiting the troops at Point Petre before he returns to the Indian frontier, and it is presumed that all offensive operations will be suspended until he rejoins the army. We have receiVed Calcutta Gazettes to the 7th of September, which contain some important intelli gent relative to the projected military operations in that quarter. The head-quarters of his Excellency the Most Noble the Governor-General were on the 28th of August near Mirzapore. Letters from the Dukhin state, that the Madras tromps were in march towards the Nerbudda, from which it was inferred that in the ensuing operations these troops would take the duty of securing the ghauts in that quarter, so as to leave the Nagpore subsidiary force disposable. Sir T. •HISLOP, it was stated, would proceed direct for Ellichpore. Color.el WAticeit had been appointed to the command of all the Cavalry in the Dukhin. The 3d and 6th Regi ments of Madras Cavalry had been ordered to the Nerbudda. EXTRACT OP A LETTER, DATED strvnur, AUGUST 18. " The expected military movements remain yet a matter of conjecture. AU the troops are held in readiness to march, and could move at a few hours' r.otice, and do not expect to receive more than a day or two's previous Intimation. The Bazar re ports say that Scindeah has at present In his service 70,000 Pin darks, whom he has recently entertained. Meer Khan is said to have not above seven or eight hundred followers that be can depend upon, the rest of his force being composed of a rabble that would quit him on the slightest reverse of fortune, or go over to whoeler would give them higher pay. The Rajah of Burtpoor has been busily employed for some time past. strength.. clung his Fort, by widening and deepening the ditch, and hn proving the works, and building bomb-proof magazines, which the fate of Ilatrass taught the necessity of. He has been dis charging such of his troops as he cannot dep.:nd upon, and enter taining those of his own cast." The General Mourning ceases to-morrnsr. Yesterday the Duke and Duchess of GiorcrsTra had a select party to dinner. The Chapel Royal, St. James's Palace, will open to-morrow, for Divine Service, after having been shut up for six months, to be repaired and beautified. Yesterday die CHANCELLOR cf the EXCHEQ-:en had a consultation with the Earl of LIVERPOOL, at Fl 2 House. for upwards of four hours, from eleven o'clock till half-past three. in his route to France, his Grace the Duke of Wm.- LINGTON was accompanied by Colonel FR/LEMANTLE and Lord ART/IVR HILL. Lord HAMILTON, the only son of the late Marquis of ABERCOAN, died some years ago, leaving an infant son, who is now alive, and who of course succeeds to the estates and honours of his Grandfather. Besides the Scots estates in the neighbourhood of Edinburgh, the ABERCOIN property in Ireland is very extensive. Lady HAMILTON is now married to the Earl of ABER DEEN, and is his second wife. Her Ladyship has also had the good fortune to produce a am, and heir to that Noble Family. Lord ABIRDEEN's first wife was the sister of Lord HAMILTO. I' AL .INTELLIGENCEi COWE4 JANUARY 50. 11iis morning early, the wind blowing a gale fiora J.W. the American ship General Hamilton, about 400 tons, laden with bale goods and plaister of Paris, bound from Havre de Grace to New York, struck on the shore, near the Warden Buoy, within the Wight, and it is feared will not be got off without discharging some of the cargo. The officers and crews of the Custonis Preventive Boats, from Yarmouth and Kent, are gone to the ship's assistance, and, with pilots and others now in attendance, should it be expedient to discharge any of the goods, prompt exertions are sure to be made to relieve the ship.

Friday morning last, a fire broke out in the cabin of the brig Hugh Wallace, lying at Garmoyle, Belfast Lough, by which the cabin, quarter-deck, cabin furniture, cables, some sails, and different other ar ticles, were nearly consumed. Fortunately, however, by the exertions of Captain BRYSON; and crew, as sisted by the crew of the Alexander Mansfield, it was suppressed without further injury. The vessel had arrived only a few days since with a cargo of timber from St. Andrew's, New Brunswick. JERSEY, JANUARY 26.

From authentic accounts received from Gibraltar, da:ed the sth instant, we regret to learn the Plague is extending rapidly to the westward in Africa, and was at that period within 15 leagues of Oran. The strictest quarantine is in consequence enforced at Gibraltar.
