The Queen Dowager has survived her late consort only four months and a half. Her Majesty, Hede wig Elizabeth Charlotte, Queen of Sweden and Nor way, born Duchess of Sleswick Holstein, &c. died -here in the Royal Palace on the evening of Saturday, the 20th of June, after a long indisposition, which terminated in a violent attack of spasms, to the great affliction of his Majesty our most gracious King, of her Majesty the Queen, of their Royal Highnesses the Crown Prince and the Princess Royal, of now assembled States of the Kingdom:and of all his Ma jesty's faithful subjects. The King, who seldom suf fered a day to'pasq without seeing the Queen, and who generally spent the evenings with her, and on every occasion shewed a truly filial attachment to her, seems deeply sensible of this new loss. Her Ma-' jesty was niece, by the father's side, to King Adol phus Frederick of Sweden, daughter to Frederick Augustus Duke of Holstein-Oldenburgh, Prime Bi shop of Lubee, who was married to Ulrica Frederica of Hesse-Cassel, niece by the father's side to King Frederick I. of Sweden. She was born March 22, 1759, and married at Wismar, January 22, 177-1. PROM THE ALLGEMEINE ZEITUNG. The fairs of Frankfort and Leipsic have shewn 'wind a pre-eminence the manufactures of Germany and Switzerland have attained over England during the time of the Continental prohibition. With re spect to printed cotton goods, the manufacture of the Continent had this time the first rank, and the English sheaved themselves inferior, as well in the choice of the patterns, as in the taste and beauty ,of the work. The English themselves who were at these fairs could not conceal their admiration, and many articles were bought by them, which they have sent', to England to serve as patterns. The English mer chants have not yet produced in our market the Me rino articles finished in Adrianople (or Turkey) Red, which are so much in vogue; nor double Me rinos, of two different reds, and with coloured designs, a branch of.industry which for some years past, and even at present, belongs exclusively to the Continent. The stuffs of the following colours, viz. crimson, ponceao, and purple, in particular, were extremely beautiful, and were all bought up during the first week of the fair. Other new productions of a sorted nature obtained good prices, and were soon entirely bought up.—The carpets of the first manufactories of Switzerland and Germany were far superior to the English carpets, both in the elegance of the patterns and the brilliancy of the colours. The Continental goods, printed on the cylinder of the best manufac tories, rivalled those of England, and the latter were in part sold, at low prices. The English goods of superior quality maintained their prices ; whereas or dinary goods fell in large quantities into the hands of several speculators, who hawked them about : the same thing happened to German printed goods of ' ordinary quality. Isa general, new articles of good quality were sought after, and liberally paid for. The Geernan public must be every day more and more convinced, that when the prices are equal, the English goods are always inferior in quality to those of Germany, and that the solid productions of the lame are always cheaper than those of England. MUNICH, JUNE 27. PRIVATE LETTER. " The dispute between the Crown Prince of Bava ria and Prince Beluliarnois, which had become very serious, has at length been terminated by command of the King. " In the preamble to the new Constitution granted to the people by his Majesty, through the mediation of General Wiede, the names, titles, and coneltions of the Princes of the House of Bavaria, are enume rated, with the exception of Beauharnois, who was in cnnsequeuce induced to remonstrate. The origin of this affair was traced to the Crown Prince. Beau liarnois's mime, however, is still omitted in the Con stitution of Bavaria. The King goes to Baden to. morrow for the benefit of the waters, together with the Crown Prince. Beauharnois, who is gone to take possession of the Principality of Eichstett, recently given to him by the King, will follow shortly. Beau harnois is now Prince of Eichstett and Duke of Leichtenberg.

No doubt is entertained but that his Grace will be present at the meeting of the Monarchs at Aix-la- Chapelle, in order to declare in person his opinion respecting the evacuation of the French territory by the Allied troops. A part of the Russian contingent is now encamped near Maubeuge, and in the camp, entertainments are given from time to time, at which the most distin guished inhabitants arc present. The Russian corps is remarkable for its fine appearance and strict dis cipline.--We learn that another division of seven or 'eight hundred men, belonging to the Austrian ccrps in Alsace, has gone over the Rhine ; so that that corps is now far from complete. INUND.II7ON OF THE DRANCE. SWITZERLAND, JUNE 26. Private accounts from St. Maure say :—" The Lake is entirely drained ; the torrent carried away 52 houses of the village of Champsal, with all the soil, all the barns, and a fine wood. The inhabitants are obliged to seek elsewhere an abode and subsist ance. Six houses at Bagne, and some at Saint Branchier, have also disappeared. " At the latter place fine meadows have been washed away, down to the very rocks near St. Bran chier to Mastenach : the torrent drove before it the forest, which accumulated to the height of a high hill, and every thing that was in its course. The wire manufactory of M. Kolb, of Geneva, consist ing of six buildings, which lay 50 feet above the level of the Drance, were carried away in an instant, and five persons perished. " At Mastenach, the stream rose to the first floor of the houses; several houses, trees, and many barns, are carried away ; numbers of people and cattle pe rished. On the 21st the positive details were not known ; the country for three leagues round is co vered with slime and wood. On the 21st the Over seer of the Convent of St. Maure, attempted to go to Mastenach, but he perished in the Drance. " On the 21st large quantities of provisions arrived at St. Manre, from the Canton of Vaud, for the unhappy persons, who, cur off from all communica tions, are in danger of perishing by famine (their cries of distress are said to have been heard from afar), but they could not be conveyed to them."

The Editor of the Allgottein Zeihing is so much delighted with the great superiority which the German manufactures have acquired over the English, that, if he acts con sistently, instead of clamouring to have the latter excluded from the Continental Markets, he will re. commend, in future, their unrestrained admission, that they may serve as fails to establish more fully the superiority of German manufactures. The plain matter of fact, in spite of all rivalry congratulations, is simply this: money is becoming more abundant on the Continent, and as a consequence, superior commodities, whether German or English, now com mand a preference in the market—a fact of great importance to all Europe. Indeed, no:hing serves more effectually to repress the labours of envy, than tho free means of acquiring for industry its fair re ward, by the circulation of its fruits, unencumbered with the distressing and draining effects of military expenditure and hostile exactions and interruptions. A Dutch Mail LIS- brought us this morning Pa pers to the Bth of July, but their contents are ex tremely uninteresting. The disagreement between the Sovereigns of Bavaria and Baden has proceeded to such a height, that they have recalled their respec tis e Ambassadors, and the diplomatic relations be tween the two countries are for the present at an end. A personal interview is, however, talked of, which may probably have the effect of bringing about an arrangement of their differences. The Paris Papers of Tuesday and Wednesday have arrived, but still continue silent on the subjet of the reported Conspiracy. The following are Extract:: . PARIS, JULY 7. SUCCESS OF THE PATRIOTS OF CHILI. The Nautilus, arrived at Portsmouth from Buenos Ayres, has brought most important information.— Two private letters have been received by her, which agree in stating, that the Royal Army in Chili has been completely defeated ; and these statements arc fully confirmed by an 9fficial account from the Pa triot General, inserted in the Buenos Ayres Gazette, of the 17th April, of which the following is a copy : " BUENOS AYRES, APRIL 20. " It it with much pleasure I have to inform you of the total defeat of the Spanish troops in Chili. The decisive battle was fought on the sth instant, at a place called Maipo, about three leagues distance from St. Jago. It was a desperately fought battle. General Sr. '.two's troops behaved themselves in the most gallant manner. They have killed of the enemy about 2000 moo, taken 1500 prisoners, among whom are 160 Officers, all the Officers of the Staff. The enemy have been destroyed —General Osoato (the General-in-Chief of the Spanish Army), with 25 men, have escaped ; but General Sr. Ilwarics's last dis patch says, by the following day he would have him also. " The Cit y of Buenos Ayres has been illuminated three nights on the occuivu." All question as to hostility between Spain and the United States is now removed. The United States troops had been stationed for some time in West Florida, under the pretence of subduing the Indian tribes which had committed acts of aggression within the limits of the Republican frontiers ; but the mask is now removed, and it seems to be the purpose of the Government at Washington to dispossess the Spa niards of the territory over which they have so long exercised a sovereign power. Of the occupation of the Spanish fortress of St. Mirk's, the following is an otEcial account from General Jackson : EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM GENERAL JACKSON. ' Camp before St. :Mark's, April 9, ISIS. ' Apprehending that the enemy (tb.' Indians) might attempt to occupy St. Mark's, observing that they were kindly received there, and discovering that it would prove an advantageous de.. pot fur my supplies, I marched for and reached it on the even ing of the Bth. On my arrival several communications passed between the Commandant and myself, when to bring matters to a close, delay bring evidently designed, I ordered the light company to advance and take possession, and Capt. M'Evers to assume a position in the rear, while Gen. Gaines was instruCted. to !sold his brigade in readiness, If resistance were attempted . None, however, was made, and the light company entered, possessed themselves of the fort, and pulled down the flag.' The information contained in the above, com ing from the Chief in Command, no doubt can be entertained of the truth of the representation. After such a proceeding, it would be presumed, that with every other Government but Spain retaliatory mea sures would be adopted ; but it is fully expected that Ferdinand and his Ministers will submit to all this indignity and its consequences, under the utter in capacity of repelling force by force. An opinion has been entertained, in Teference to a part of the question of same importance to Great Britain, that the Court of London will not allow the United States to occupy the Floridas, and that it will be considered by our Court tantamount to a declara tion of war. Whatever might have been the sensa tion produced formerly by such an encroachment of the Republic, we have reasons for believing that these tctt of hostility towards Spain committed by the Americans, will not lead to any interference at the present day on the behalf of England. New Orleans Papers to the I6th of May are ar rived. It was expected that the American General would also take possession of Pensacola. The manner in ss hich it should be surrendered was looked for with much anxiety. It was supposed that the Spanish Commandant would resist ; but he had no adequate force to sustain a siege. We are extremely happy to say that the report of 'the state of her MAJESTY yesterday was very favour. "able, viz.:—" The QLIEEN has had a very good night, and is much better this morning." On Thurs day, at half-past four o'clock, the PRINCE RELENT ,arrived in an open carriage and four, with outriders, at Kew Palace; on a visit to the Queen. His Royal Highness remained there till a quarter before six, when he left for London. Yesterday his Royal High ness again went from Carlton-house to Kew, to pay his dutiful respects to his beloved Mother. Sir HUMPHREY DAVY is now at Vienna, from whence he proceeds to Hungary and Bohemia.
