INSURRECTION AT BRUNSWICK. The Hamburgh Mail brought us last night papers to the I lth Sept- The tyrannical proceedings of the Duke of Brunswick have at length roused the patient population of his dominions to resistance, and the Ducal palace has been set on fire and consumed. The accounts are silent as to the causes of the insurrection ; but from what we have heard of the Duke, the patience of the people must have been put to a severe trial. It would appear that the life of the Duke is in danger from the anxiety manifested that he should not escape.—The proceedings at Brunswick seem almost a Jac simile of those at Brussels. The popu lace commence the disturbance, the military refuse to act, the citizens then form a Burgher Guard. No private property, however, has been injured. How dreadful to think that the people of a country should remain exposed to the tyranny of a man like this Duke, with no other means of relief than insurrection ? We wish we could say that the Duke is the only German Sovereign now held in detestation. We suspect the King of Saxony will,ere long, feel the consequences of his oppressive bigotry. If the Lx-King of France has any sense, he will keep where he is,for we suspect he will find the North of Germany, ere long, a little too hot for his tempers: ment, fond as he is of a little sanguinary excitement. The followin g are extracts : Bxuxswicx, SEPT. B.—Dreadful and melancholy events have taken place here. The populace had, for some reason or other, got into an affray with the troops, who had no orders to fire, and were in con. sequence compelled to retreat into the garden of the Palace, from the fury of the populace, whose numbers continually increased. Intoxicated by this victory, the populace broke into the Ducal Palace (which the Duke left, as well as the city,) and at last set fire to it, so that it has unhappily been consumed, with all the treasures it contained. The populace seemed now disposed to proceed to further excesses, but a body of armed citizens had been formed in the meantime for the defence of the public safety, under the direction of the most respected and opulent inhabitants, who, in or. der that they might be strong enough in every contingency, called upon etc military to join them, to which they willingly acceded, and it is hoped that further mischief will now be prevented. .1 Proclamation, signed by 'Messrs. Bode and Stelae?, and General Von Hertzberg, calls upon the inhabitants to remain tranquil, and con tains the necessary police regulations for the maintenance of order. BRUNSWICK, SEPT. 7.—Yesterday evening an angry multitude assembled before the theatre, who had filled their sleeves, pockets, and hats, with stones. When the Duke left the house to step into his carriage, the mob hissed and insulted him. The military, who were at hand, kept the multitude in awe. When the Duke had driven a few paces be was attacked with a shower of stones. The coachman drove full gallop to the Palace, and reached it amidst showers of stones. All the military were now assembled about the Palace, cannon planted, and every thing put in a state of defence. The incensed multitude surrounded the palace, but without venturing to attack it. The windows of the police-office, the mint, and other public offices, were broken. On the following morning the citizens assembled, and resolved to form themselves into a Burgher Guard, but declared at the same time that they would not join either of the two parties, but confine them selves to the defence of persons and property. To-day all has been tolerably quiet, only it was observed that some apprehensions were entertained by the people that the Duke might se cretly leave the city, for which reason the most numerous assemblage was seen in those places by which the Prince might probably come. BRUNSwICK, Sept. B.—To-day was published the following Offichd Notice. When his Highness the Duke yesterday approved the forma tion of a union of the citizens for the security of the city, it was on the express condition that the corps should be armed only with pikes or sabres, and should by no means come near the Palace. In the sequel, when it began to grow dark, and the Ducal Palace was surrounded on all sides, his Highness ordered the union of the City Militia with the troops drawn up before the palace. Detachments of the City Militia were immediately brought ; but, by circuitous ways, and principally on the garden side, numerous bodies had :already Mae Wished themselves in the interior of the palace, and the efforts of the citizens were now useless. However, It was not possible, without shedding the blood of the ci. tizens who had hastened to the protection of the Palace, to charge Or to fire upon the multitude that surrounded it, and, thanks to the mods ration of the military, and the coolness of their worthy Commands; Lieut.-General Von Hertzberg, that that circumstance was taken into consideration, and the blood of the citizens not spilt without an object, for the palace could not be saved. We were witnesses to a lamentable and dreadful scene. While the city militia, though ill armed, checked the excesses in the other parts of the city, the palace was burnt to the ground. This melancholy event, which fills every citizen with indignation, shall and must be the last of this storm. In concert with the ducal military authorities, by the advice of the city elders, and at the earnest wish of the citizens themselves, the city militia will co-operate with the military for the restoration:and mainte nance of order. (Here follow several police regulations, forbidding mote than four persons to assemble together in the streets after seven o'clock. No women or children to be suffered In the streets after seven o'clock. All the public-houses to be closed at six o'clock, &c.) BanNswici, SEPT. B.—(From another Letter.) —The deputation which yesterday went withthe representation to the Palace was dismissed with an unsatisfactory answer. This excited the greatest irritation among the people, who disarmed in the streets some patrols of the Burgher Guard which was not yet fully organised. The mi litary were driven into the garden of the Palace, shut in, and refused to fire upon the people. After seven o'clock, the populace committed the greatest excesses ; they threw fire into the Palace, which was in flames at nine o'clock. About ten the Duke, in disguise, escorted by ten Hussars, succeeded in passing through the garden of the Palace, to the gate. The heat was terrible, and nobody was permitted to attempt to check the flames. All the adjoining houses were, however, protected. This morning the leg wing and the centre acre in ruins, and flames issued from windows of the right wing. All she furniture, curtains, &c. were thrown into the court of the Palace, and destroyed. The wine-cellars were emptied, but no private property was touched. To-day a Proclamation of the Magistrates has been pub lished, providing for the public security. To-morrow the Estates of the Duchy will assemble, and a Commission of Government Is provi. atonally appointed, of which M. Von Munchausen and Counsellor Hen. 'Aug are Presidents. M. Ludwig Lobbecke is commander of the Burgher Guard, which is now formally organised. The most respect able inhabitants have enrolled themselves in it, and the military have agreed to act with them. BERLIN, SEPT. 9..—Count Diebitscb has arrived from St. Peters ourell, anti Count Nesselrode from Bohemia. There is a continual exchange of couriers between the Hague and Paris an St. Petersburgh. It is said that Count Diebitseh will go to Paris, and that General Von Sumter will be sent to compliment the King of the French from our &yen:4m. Ba,inuaoll, SEPT. 110.—Borsen Halle, Half-past Four o'Clock.— The trade in Wheat has been dull during the week. Very few pur ehabcs have been made by our consumers, and still fewer for exportation. The consequence has been an accumulation of the stock on hand, and a arester readiness to sell. The demand for Rye has also fallen off during the week. The same prices continue to be demanded ; but as the buyers are holding back, 'here is little doubt that a decline must take place. Almost every article of grain is heavy with the exception of rape. teed, the supply of which continues ext re mely limited. Danish Bonds were done yesterday at 63, Russian at 95 , Polish at 1 06, and Austrian Bank Sh ares at 1 ,130. To-day there has been a considerable rise, as will be seen by maim ring to the prices below. The rise is attributed to an improvement of the Berlin money market, where a report was current that Count Die. touch Sabalkanaky was about to proceed on a mission to Paris.

In Lucena (Andalusia) the Royalist Volunteers, aided by a great num ber of the populace, have di*anned the Resguardo (Preventive Service meo,) and killed two of them, their object being to smuggle in a great quantity of goods. In Cordova a similar occurrence has taken place ; but with the addition of Commandant Chacon, at the head of the Resguardo, foot and horse, of Seville, having been disarmed and driven out of the city. These events have alarmed the Government, not only on account of the injury which the revenue will sustain, but also on ac count of the example which they hold out of insubordination. Last night two extraordinary expresses reached the Government offices—one from Galicia, and the other front Extremadura—both despatched by the respective Captains-General, who demand troops to prevent the disturbances which are daily expected, as a necessary con sequence of the great excitement into which the public mind has been thrown by the proceedings in Paris, but more particularly by the revolutionary movements in Portugal. I have just been informed that a Royal Order has been communicated to the Council of State and the Council of Ministers, to consider whether the asotnext is not arrived to grant the concessions promised by the King, in his Decree dated Valencia, May 14, 1814, when he first destroyed the Con stitution of the Cortes. In Granada, the Chief of the Police, in con junction with the Captain General (Campana,) has prevented the distri bution of the Gooerassest Gaulle, printed at Madrid, because it contains a brief and very partial account of the late events in the French capital. Even this unfaithful account of the French Revolution, wrested from the Spanish Government by necessity, is considered by the authorities of the provinces as a sufficient stimulant to cause an explo sion of the already bursting spirit of the Liberals.—Private Letter. LISBON, AUGUST 28. The four captured vessels having been liberated, as stated in my last, one of them, the St. Helena East India Company's packet, left this port on the 24th instant, but without her register, which was not given up. The other three still remained to overhaul their cargoes, &c. In order top adjust matters in respect of loss and damage. The Galatea frigate re. maimed also, with the intention of accompanying them home. Their registers, however, not being forthcoming, notwithstanding repeated and urgent demands, the Galatea set sail without them yesterday morning. What can be the motive of the Government in withholding these docu ments, so necessary for the vessels, anti so useless to themselves, it is difficult to conjecture. The excuse, at first, was, that they were pinned to other papers, and could not be immediately procured : since which It has been reported that they were retained until the question, still pending, of the lawfulness of the capture, should be decided : but, as the ships themselves were already given up, this question, one would 'appose, could only regard the conduct of the Captain of the Diana, the frigate which took them. This frigate lies at anchor, with her masts sad yards struck, while the Captain and Officers have been sent on shore, in disgrace; for well may the Portuguese Government feel the dilemma into which this unfortunate Captain has driven them. The Prime Minister told the Captain, at an examination upon the affair, that his conduct (as if he had exceeded his commission) had done more serious injury to the Government of his country, than if be had given up his ship to the people of Terceira: but, notwithstanding the deep sense of the evil thus expressed, they still increase it by de lay—so blind, or so divided among themselves, are these rulers, or so obstinate the master whom they serve ! Distrust and suspicion universally prevail. The 4th Rifle Corps, stationed at Belem, have bad their arms taken from them, and three or four of the Officers have been arrested ; while other imprisonments still coatinue to take place of private persons, who have been too free in expressing their sentiments upon the present aspect of affairs, especially in regard to the recent changes in France. Upon the latter subject the Gaut& still observes a strict silence. It was reported yesterday that a French vessel about to sail was detained by order of the Government, in consequence of her de. termination to leave the port under the tri-coloured flag. It was reported also that the French Vice Consul had been imprisoned, but since lib& Med. It is also asserted that orders have been issued to the Governors of the forts et the mouth of the Tagus to oppose the entrance of any ves. eel that should make the attempt under the tricoloured flag. I mentioned fa my last the circumstance of a Spanish Gent. having been imprisoned at the Caldu, by Don Miguel, because it appeared that he bad not de. asestrated sufficient personal respect to his Majesty when the latter Were the room. This gentleman, though born in Spain, is of British parents, and consequently a British subject. It seems he was at the . - Caldes for the benefit of his health, being rheumatic, and had just been taking his bath; he rose when the Sing entered, although from near. dghtedness he did not well distinguish him, and from feebleness sat down again sooner than was suitable with respect due to Royalty. For this be was thrown, as it is reported, into a damp prison in the neigh. botuitood, where his health suffered materially during ten days that he was there, and then removed to the Castle in Lisbon, where he still attains. There have been some vague rumours of disturbances in the provinces. It is more particularly stated that the prisons of Lamer and Braga have been broken open by the populace, and the prisoners liberated, the greater part of whom having committed several depreda. dons, tied to the mountains, to the number of about eight hundred; several others have been again taken, and returned to prison.

It is said tots the intention of her Government to place 60,000 troops along her boun daries. It has ever been her policy to guard her frontiers by a strong force, and by this policy—long prevented by the jealousy of neighbour ing States—the late revolutionary movements at Aix-la-Chapelle have created an apparent necessity. The imperious Proclamation of General Boatel—from Coblens— you have no doubt seen, and of its tone and temper you will judge. Here, and along the Rhine, it has excited the greatest dissatisfaction. An Autumn excursion to the Rhine has of late years formed the agreeable relaxation of our countrymen ; and however much patriotism may regret it, yet we must admit that few scenes in nature equal in picturesque and solemn beauty the succession of views which crowd upon you between this part of the river and Mayence. To dwell upon their attractiveness is, however, the province of the tourist:—and its Gothic castles—those spectres of the feudal times—have been sung by many a bard, great and small. The Muse of Byron has celebrated Dra choyfek ; and Mr. Praed's Pegasus—a tolerable climber—has struggled up the mountain which sustains its "castled crag" with the sure-footedness of a Welsh pony. Within the last week, however, the Rhine, with all its charms, has borne few voyagers from, and vast numbers to, England. The cause of this desertion you will readily divine; and, though per ceptible before the unceremonious reception of the Prince of Orange in Brussels, yet that circumstance has undoubtedly created a deep im pression upon the English mind abroad; and, in consequence, the boats from lUayenee downwards have been crowded with " longer* aft& England.—Prielaie Letter.

The present learned Editor deserves the thanks of every scholar, for this judicious reprint of a very excellent but almost unknown work. The late erudite Dr. Parr bad a very high opinion of the value and utility of this work, and strongly recommended it to the notice and diligent study of all persons engaged in the acquisition of the Latin language. It was first printed in 1760, and of its learned author little or nothing I appears to be known; a few particularsof his history, as contained in Ntatots's Literary Anecdotes, are given by the Editor in his intelli gent preface. Speaking of the Utility of such a work, Mr. BARKER very justly observes, that " a knowledge of Latin Ellipses will enable the student to see the origin of many expressions, and to account for syntactical constructions, which otherwise prove great stumbling-blocks' in the way of learning. The scholar who is extensively acquainted with Latin Ellipses ' can decide on the falsity of many emendations of Latin authors, which are proposed by critics ; he can vindicate the integrity of many suspected passages; he can restore to their original parity many corrupted phrases ; he depends, not on his acuteness and inge nuity, which may bs misapplied, but on clear principles in the struc ture of the Latin language, which will admit of no dispute." Whitaker's Monthly Magazine. The September Number preserves the spirit which has characterize this miscellany. There is enough to amuse—enough to instruct—some. thing to praise in taste and sentiment; and, we are sorry to say, some thing to condemn. We are, however, of that class of readers, who make allowances for difference in opinion, and who are nut censorious on all with whom we cannot agree. One fault to the critics of this Magazine is, that they err from pursuing a different maxim, and trans form a difference of sentiment to a general chagrin with all an author, or even party, can produce. What anomalies do time and events pro duce ! Who would believe that the " History of the French Revolu tion of 1830," which commences this number, was the work of an Eldonite Magazine ? A Magazine, that on a few articles farther on in the number, advocates the cause of West India Slavery. " The Essay" on the Rising Generation and March of Mind, is a little too caricature to be elketnal in its humour. Ot" Stanzas on Tobacco," as we have no taste for it, we say, as a Frenchman would say—Bali ! The " Arch-Druid" is a curious and interesting fiction—rather too long. " Notes on Haiti" should be read by all who take an interest in that interesting Island ; but it should be read with suspicion and due scrutiny ! " The Notes of the Month" are, as usual, smart and amusing; but we condemn the want of gal. !entry and want of feeling displayed, on the honourable exertions of the widow, to preserve in memory the virtues of a deceased husband. The sneers on this subject are we think, misplaced, and, a ft er all, founded oa very trite sarcasm. The most amusing and instructive article in this Number is" Love, Law, and Physic, in Barbary ; from which we shall quote the following description of the Moorish Ladies. On some future day, we may quote a specimen of the amusing verse. " The Mussalmans were slowly moving down the steep descent et the mountain city to join in the evening prayer. This is the hes when, in Barbary, the females, who are not allowed to walk amid withdut being closely muffled S up, resort to their terraces to enjoy theme freshing sus.set breeze. The sight of a stranger, and an Europeanaa, et first seemed embarrassing, and startled the fair Morisooe, who, Wm the gazelle of her own land, stood hesitating whether to advance a retire. I was reluctantly about to withdraw, but having reached the mirador of my terrace, she took courage, and playfully beckoned me to remain. Aware that from my situation I was unobserved by any one but herself, she 'hewed how far she noticed and sympathised with my curiosity, by throwing aside her shawl, and leaving me to gaze on a face and form I shall never forget. "She was evidently proud of the impression she had made, but it was a pardonable vanity; for her beauty would have compensated fora whole race of deformity—though it did not possess all those requisites gao -1 rally esteemed handsome amongst other females. She was above the oa dinaryheight of women, and yet without sacrificing one iota of her true grace of form, and finely proportioned limbs, so visible when the Moorish costume is disencumbered of the heavy drapery of the al-haicka. Her skin was white, and her cheeks so beautifully blended with a rosy tint, that were it not known that the Barbary women are fair, it would have been difficult to have supposed her an inhabitant of so warm a cli mate. A deep blue line intersected her face and bosom ; this is effected by a liquid dye being introduced beneath the cuticle when very young ; it has die appearance of a full starting vein, and is meant to set off the complexion. Some ladies cause flowers to be traced on their bodies with this dye and some completely disfigure their faces by its too general use. The dress of the female in question was of blue silk, trimmed with black braid ; she wore ear-ring. ' armlets, and anklets of silver, and her totally bared legs and arms formed a curious contrast to the notions of costume entertained by European ladies. " The mind would willingly attach something of romance to so lovely a creature, but I could learn nothing of her history beyond her having been just married to a rich old Moor, and her being only sixteen years of age. She was a slave ! yet her pensive look indi cated that she possessed a soul, although the Moors will not believe in the possession ; consequently they deny them the benefits of edu cation, or the taste of liberty; and thus their days pass on without the slightest reciprocity of feeling to alleviate the monotony of their exis tence. The whole life of a Moorish woman from infancy to death may be comprised in a few words. Although every thing is hid from public view, and information can only be obtained by indirect means, still the deficiency is supplied by the uniformity of the picture; and the history of a single one is a standard whereby to form a judgment of the whole. In that which appears the greatest cruelty—the with holding from them the benefits of education—there is certainly the attendant consolation that any development of the mind could but awake them to a keener sense of their miserable destiny, namely— that of being kept as horses in a stable for their masters' uses, and being prized by the same rules, the beauties of blood and limb, the consciousness of which is now lost in apathy and ignorance. " The Moorish females spring into womanhood with astonishing rapi. dity ; scarcely do they leave the arms of the mother before they an clasped by those of the husband. At twelve or thirteen years of age, the Moorish maiden is a bride • at twenty-five an old woman • her evanes. cent charms arc then alrea d y on the wane, and take a flig ht as rapid at their coming on. The tide,: and raven tresses of youth become thinned and grey ; the once symmetrical form becomes a mass of corpukneei wrinkl, a furrow the brow, and notwithstarelin k ; their former attractions, nothing is left to tell the beauty of the broken flower, but the never. failing lustre of the eye, now set within a sallow cheek. This sudden change is not difficult to be accounted for; they marry by far too vow* Were Otis not the ease, front the plurality of wives allowed to Mussulmwas, a population would be created much beyond its actual amount ; whereas at present a Mussulman with four or five wives has fewer children them compose a single family in England. Again, the food which they eat to superinduce corpulency, by no means strengthens the constitution, ' which soon yields to the ravag es of tune and climate. Such is the anxiety of mothers in Barba ry to render their female children fat, that they stand over them at meals with a stick, and punish those who do not eat a sufficiency of the cous.courou set before them. That which in Europe is termed a well-shaped lady. is in Barbary compared to " the back-bone of a fish," and would be the very last to excite the favour able regards of a lover ; whereas a fat lady who could scarcely walk, would need little recommendation beyond her size. "A Moorish woman of distinction is seated all day long upon her car pet, where she is waited on by a number of little slaves, a laziness which also contributes to render her unwieldy ; then her dress does am confine any part of her form, so that the universal allakka may be said y to conceal a much gnaw: proportion of deformity than beauty. ru n cra ll thim as a small waist or well-turned ancle is a rue and un common eight. It is certainly not the fault of the fair sex in Barbary that they are not better known to strangers ; fear alone compels them to comply with the harsh dictates of their "lords and masters." Beneath the ample folds of woman's guise has many a love affair been carried on. The unsus pecting husband, misled by the slippers° at the door *ibis wife's apart ment, has often turned aside to make room for bis disguised rival's escape, making good the truth of the old axiom, that " the best padlock is that of the mind . " A Moorish woman will not make the slightest scruple of discovering her face to an European, and exclaiming Shoof • The dippers outside the apirtment denote thit the husband mina ] inter the room, a strange kmak being present. sidi, &hoof aidi I—Look, air —look, sir !" provided none of Let own people are near to betray her; and will at any time ratter invi:e that repel the curiosity of a stranger, whose risk is as great as her own in so doing, and who if detected in any more serious offence would subj.er himself to the penalty of death. Marriage amongst the Moors is brought about by the intervention friends; no interview whatever can take place previously to the rap tials. The good or bad qualities of the lady are explained to the lover. and also her abilities and personal charms. hove, that rare ingre.:itri in Moorish marriages, may sotnetimcv be found subsequent, bu: t;t•::: et be known previously to matrimony. On the evening of the wedding the lady is placed on horsec.ck, enclosure which resembles a large paper lanthorn ; in this way 1.!:t is paraded through the streets to the hou•e of the bridegroom, by the male ;friends of both parties. Rude music, the vhouts of the rabble, sail the firing of powder, assail the ears of the brill.•, whose union anal le tro duction to her husband are coeval. The validity of the marriage contract & N ada on the same proof .1^ those required by the Levitical law, but the lady may be returned fur leis material,defects than their absence, or the husband is at liberty to take another wife if he please. It is to meet the difficulties arising irons a total want of prior acquaintance between the parties, that the law of Mahomet allows a plurality of wives to those who can prove they are able to maintain them. Barrenness is a ground of divorce, as like a repugnant breath, for both of wbith causes women in Barbary at; often repudiated. A translation of a piece, entitled Ambition. or Marie lingual, %Melt has excited some interest in Paris, was last night produced at this The_ stye, with general success. Marie ifiguol is a young laundress, and wooed by Laguriie ; she, however, gives her hand to a rich attomey and in the next act (a lapse of ten years having taken place), sbe is ri— mmed to us as the rich widow Modeau. Here Lagardie returns Paris, and having obtained an eminence in the law, with u • altered affection sues for the hand of the widow, who. a.•. • a great deal of coquetry, marries a Marshal of France. . • ! Lagardie is again doomed to despair. In the third set. (another ten years having elapsed), filarie is again a widow, and weaving meshes for the ex-King Casimir, who has vacated the throne of Po:ar.t:, but who is again invited to the sovereignty. This invitation is brought Layardie, now a Marshal of Sweden : the King, however, reselves to r • tire to the abbaye St. Germaine ' and Marie, disappointed in her ambit ivi• , in the bitterness of her heart ex claims—" To the convent of the Cans litre !" On this the curtain falls. Magnet, a celebrated cook, and uncle to Marie, was played by Far. ren ; the part is not. first-rate, but yet received sonic or his most ad. mirable touches. Vining's Layardie was spirited ; and Cooper's Car; • sir extremely respectable; his delineation of the old King was natural and esiective. Willianies Madam was the perfect man of ink and parchment. Marie Mignon was played by Miss F. H. Kelly ; and we are happy to say that we lime not of late witnessed in her so few faults ; there was less affectation—lens monotony than is usual in her acting ; she played the part, and it is one of considerable difficulty, with much discrimination, and was deservedly applauded throughout. Mrs. Glover's Arietle !Icier:Re, a somewhat hazardous character in common hands, was rendered extremely efficient. The piece abounds in touches at the times, such as allusions to the sovereignty of the people, the facility of making a bag of money repre sent voters in his Majesty's Parliament, and to the fact of men making fortunes by the abuses of the law, and then dealing forth a seven-lines spwch in condemnation of their atrocity. All these points were ap. pleaded to the echo. The piece was given out for repetition with ap plause, though we trust on its next representation it will be curtailed at least three quarters of an hour. THE KI.VG'S COURT. BRIGHT. IS. The dinner party of the Royal Family yesterday consisted of the Bishop of CHictiEsrta, Mr. and Mrs. LLOYD, the Hon. G. POWLETT, and Captain G. Ss:moult, in addition to the Royal suite.
