The KINo, by an Ordonnance of the 25th of Sep tember, has raised B4ron PASQUIER, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, to the dignity of a Peer. The Baron was one of the Deputies for the Department of the Seine. The Elections still continue, and so far as the Re turns are made out, they appear to be in favour of the KING and the Charter. The progress of the yellow fever in Spain demon strates the necessity and wisdom of the measures pre scribed by the Royal Ordonnance, for preserving the French territory. These dispositions have been put in immediate execution with the utmost rigour along the frontier. It has already been stated, that the contagion ex isted on board three vessels in Marseilles Road ; from the 22d tb the '2sth ult. four more vessels were de clared infected, but it has not extended further. ,The total number of persons thit have fallen vic tims.to this malady, up to the 6th of October, was twelve ; and at that date only four were sick in the Lazaretto, two of whom were cases of ordinary ma ladies. A Danish ship was stranded in the night, about two leagues from Marseilles. Three Members of the Health Administration instantly repaired to the spot, when they learned that two of the crew had died of the fever on the passage. With the consent of the Captain, the vessel was instantly burnt; and four men, who composed the remainder of the crew, were conveyed to the Lazaretto. Letters from Barcelona, of the 29th September, state, that there is scarcely a street in that city free from the fever; and that more than two-thirds el the population have either perished or left the town. Sixty or seventy persons fall ill every day, and the deaths are about thirty daily. In the immediate neighboulhood, the ravages of this dreadful disease are still greater. The greatest order prevails in the city, where a subscription, already amounting to 40,000 francs, has been opened for the relief of the afflicted. The KING of ENGLAND is expected to visit Berlin, where the King's Palace, and the new Chateau at Potsdam, are preparing for his reception. • French Funds, October 13.—Five per Cents. 90f. sc. Bank Mock, 1,590. VIENNA, OCTOBER 5. The affairs of Turkey appear especially to occupy= Cabinet. Extraordinary activity continues to prevail in the Department of Foreign Affairs. Prince 'Metternich has frequent conferences with the Ministers of the Great Powers, several of whom in tended quitting Vienna for a short time ; but their departure has been countermanded. It is now more than probable that Prince lietternich will not go to Johannisburg, whither he wished to retire to enjoy an interval of repose from his tabours. We can not conceive how the belief could gain ground in Germany that .Austria would, at all events, make common cause with Russia against the Turk% We do not think that war will yet take place between those Powers ; but should it take place, it may certainly be relied on that our Cabinet would not declare against the Porte, The Grand Seignior and the Divan have, at present, the greatest confidence in our Government, and they do everything that can be agreeable to it. We have not the least motive for desiring war. Resides; Austria seems to interest herself essen tially about the conservation of the Turkish Empire, and this anxiety appears to predominate in all the negotiations of our Custer. It is therefore natural that she should make every effort to prevent the breaking out of war between the two Empires. ODESSA, SEPTEMBER is. Baron Strogonoff left us a few days ago for St. Petersburg's, The Dragomans and individuals attached to the legatior, remain here. It is announced that the Ottoman nett has obtained an advantage over the Greek naval forces. A Captain who left Constantinople on the 15th inst. states, that the Grand Seignior Las again summoned, by a Ilatti-Sherif, all Mussuhnen to take tap arms. Should this be true, it may be presumed that the Porte has received the answer of our Court, and that it is not accept-- able. An autograph Ilatti-Sheriff of the Sultan is only resorted W in times of imminent danger. We have received this morning, American Papers to the 18th September. • The account of his AlArrs trf s Coronation had reached the United States, and some of the Papers contain ample details of the cere monial. One of the journals, the National Advocate, of New York, vents its Republican spleen in a scur rilous article on the subject, which purports to be 46 an official account of the ceremony, in a letter from the KING to his old friend Dr. COLEMAN." NEW YORK, SEPTEMBER 17. The ship Martha, Sketchley, in thirty-one days from Liverpool, is arrived, bringing M. Roux de Laborde, bearer of disigittches from France, supposed to con ti►ia the long desired Treaty of Commerce with the United States. [TRACT OF A LETTER FROM ST. JA6O (CHILI), MAT 28. Sir Thomas Hardy is at high variance with the Chilian Government, in consequence of one of the Marine Commanders having, off Callan, pressed many British seamen out of merchantmen; and also on ac tout of the declared blockade, by 1,,0rd Cochrane's Isquadlion, of the *hole coot dkettt. Wheal Mil Thomas was informed of 'these acts, he immediately left Valparaiso, and went in search of Lord Cochrane's squadron, which had left Callao, before he reached there, for some unknown destination. It is believed Sir Thomas will not suffer the blockade to continue any longer, even of Lima, and that he will convoy British merchantmen to and from that port ; in which event it is expected that Captain ftidgeley, of the Constellation, will also give protection to our mer chantmen. Many • think that an Independent Go vernment will be formed at Lima, free from Spain and Chili. A letter from the Health Officer of Staten Island, dated 14th July, states, that from the 7th to the 15th, there had been nine cases of malignant fever. CUBA—MEXICO—LIMA. TROY TM BALTIMORR GATRITI, osmium 13. By the schooner John, which arrived in this port yesterday, twelve days from Havannah,. we have a variety of intelligence of interest, if not of decided importance. In consequence of the progress of Independent cause in South America and in Mexico, the people of Cuba begin to speak and to speculate respecting their future destiny : some talk of inde pendence, but more seem to think that Cuba must fall into the hands of the British it is certain, at all events, that the ties between Cuba and the mother country are greatly loosened. Before the John sailed, accounts bad been received from Vera Cruz, stating, that the new Viceroy, O'llonoju, was so little pleased with his reception and with the state of things there, that after issuing a Proclamation, which fur nished a subject of great merriment, he had taken his departure, and his arrival at Havannah was looked for daily. The communication between Vera Cruz and the City of Mexico had been cut off for a consi derab!c time.. The vessel of war that communicated this intelligence from Havannah, also brought a re port of the fall of Lima, which we think more than probable. NORFOLK, SEPTEMBER ii. Boston, New York, and Philadelphia, according to accounts, have enjoyed an unusual degree of health. We believe not a solitary case of malignant fever has been reported in either of these cities. In Baltimore cases of malignant fever continue to be reported. On the sth instant four deaths occurred in Norfolk: on the 6th instant there were four deaths. Since the storm it has diminished. Savannah Papers up to the 2d instant continue to speak of their city as en joying a degree of health unexampled at this season. New Orleans, at the date of the last accounts, con tinued entirely free. Yesterday, at half-past eleven o'clock, the Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE arrived in town from Bushy. Their Royal Highnesses visited the Prin cess SOPHIA, at Kensington, and afterwards returned to Bushy to dinner. Yesterday, the Duke of WELLINGTON arrived at Apsley House from Strathfieldsay.

Extract of a letter from St. Bartholomew's, dated August 2 This place being a great rendezvous for privateers, and a depot for their plunder, several American vessels have been lately.sold here to resi dents of this Island, and of coarse incapacitated from holding the papers ; nevertheless these vessels wear the flag, and it is probable have the papers also ; but as the Governor (from motives best known to him self) will not let one examine the registers, I cannot speak to this latter circumstance with certainty. —A Ccinsul is much wanted to settle disputes and cause justice to be done to various seamen who are `daily thrown on shore destitute, or deprived of at least one half of the allowance which, by law, they are entitled to; for the Governor decides everything here, and of coarse will not displease the Prize Agents—indeed the Governor's interest and that of the Agents are so linked together, that it is morally impossible to obtain justice. In the Treaty with Sweden it is clearly stipulated, that American vessels in this port shall not be subject to any other or higher charges than Swedes. Now I find, that if an Ame rican should dispose of his vessel to a Swede or any one else in thiiTsland, he is compelled to pay a trans : fer tax of 5 per cent. to the Colonial Treasury." ARRIVAL OP TIIE KING IN HANOVER. FURTTIER PARTICULARS. TROM LASS NIGHT'S GAZITTL WHITEHALL, OCTOBER ic. A dispatch has this morning been received by Vis count SIDMODTH from the Marquis of LONDONDERRY, dated Hanover, October 9, and stating that the KING arrived at that city on the preceding day, at three, P. IC in pod health, and had been received by his Hanoverian subjects, on his MAJESTY'S approach to the capital, and throughout the journey, with the ut most demonstrations of joy and attachment. PRIVATE LETTER. HANOVER, OCTOBER 9. - . - The arrival of the KING here was a matter of great expectation. Every day from his MAJESTY'S depar ture from London was calculated, and each specially mentioned'as the wished-for time of his coming into this kingdom. Saturday last, his MAJESTY first en tered his Hanoverian dominions, and the same even ing he reached Osnaburg ; on Sunday evening the roy# cavalcade halted at Nieuburg ; and on Monday it reached this city. Guards of honour were stationed on the way, and triumphal arches were erected at each place where even a slight hope of his MAJESTY'S Coming existed. Besides the coach in which his MaaesTy•travelled, accompanied by the Marquis of CONYNGHAM and Lord F. CONYNGRAM, there were two carriages drawn by six horses each, and two others drawn by four horses each, containing the Royal Attendants. The Marquis Of LONDONDERRY and Sir BENJAMIN BLOOM FIELD came before his MAJESTY, and reached Hano ver on Saturday evening. Within about two English miles from this city is a village called Stoecken, in which three regiments were stationed in order to receive his MAJESTY: they were during the day under arms, and prepared for the reception of their KING. On the right of those troops the Governor-General of Hanover, the Duke of CAMBRIDGE, and the Dnke of CUMBERLAND, ac companied by all the Staff Officers in Hanover, .had taken their places, in order to await the arrival of their Royal Brother. Before his MAJESTY approached the village, the Duke of CAMBRIDGE rode rapidly to meet him, and having greeted him on his approach to the capital of his Continental dominions, his Royal Highness returned to the troops. The three regiments were then regulated in such a manner that the KING'S carriage passed through the line of soldiers, who were drawn up on the chaussee or highway. The approach of the royal carriage was khown by the loud acclamations of the soldiers, which were thrice repeated as the carriage appeared in sight of each battalion. Their Royal Highnesses the Governor-General and the Duke of CUMBERLAND rode thence, one on each side of the KING'S carriage, which was followed by the Staff Officers. The welcome of the soldiers was such as could not but he acceptable to the KING; but when the line of soldiers ceased, the inhabitants of Hanover then came forward in crowds to hail their first KING who had ever visited this city from Great Britain. More than 250 carriages there met his MAJESTY; and it must have been highly gratifying to him to perceive the crowds who hailed his approach. In his MAJESTY the People beheld not only their King, but their de liverer from the slavery of a foreign yoke; they saw in him the decendant of their former Princes and war riors, and in his Royal person they also saw not only the King of GREAT BRITAIN, but the King of HANOVER. Their greetings were sincere and affectionate, and they were returned with that ease and grace which has obtained for his MAJESTY the appellation of Me first Gentleman in Europe. Thousands of Hanove rians thronged around, in order to catch a glimpse of their Sovereign, and warmly expressed their feel ings of attachment and respect. The royal carriage continued to proceed, arid it was met on its progress by squadrons of the other regiments, with colours flying and bands playing.— On its approach to Ilerrenhausen, about three o'clock, the thunder of the cannons announced to the sur rounding country the joyful tidings of the arrival of its KING. Twenty-one cannons gave the notice of his MairsTv's arrival, and they were beard for miles around. Before the Castle of Ilerrenhausen, now the Royal Palace, the Royal Guard of Light Infantry were drawn up in form of a crescent, and they re ceived the first King of Hanover who had ever vi sited it, with military honours and sincere gratulation. After alighting from his carriage, his MAJESTY was received on his entrance into his Palace by their Royal Highnesses the Duchesses of CAMBRIDGE and CUMBERLAND, and hand in hand with their Royal Highnesses, one on each side, his MAJESTY appeared on the balcony of the Palace, and was greeted by the crowd with renewed acclamations. _ _ During the evening the Marquis of LONDONDERRY and Count MUNSTER, and the various Ministers of Hanover were presented to his MAJESTY, and paid their respects to him. The appearance of this city is extremely pleasing, its houses cleanly, and its inhabitants have now at least all the appearance of business and bustle. Its environs are such as even in October to give satis faction to those who wish to see a beautiful country highly cultivated. To the southward of The city is a range of mountains, which gives to the approach a most picturesque effect, and that effect is strengthened by the many fir , groves which are scattered around. This is, indeed, a pretty country," said a German, when :ongratulated on its appearance; " it is even pretty enough for the KING to wish to reside in it." To another King it might, indeed, be sufficiently at tractive ; but it could never be such to the King of G /MAT BRITAIN. . . _ - Those who have resided for some time in Germany know well the German compliments in the morning. " How does your MAJESTY do? How has your MA JESTY slept last night ?" said an old attendant in the Palace.—" I never was better in all my life," replied the Kiss; " and I have not slept better since I left England." His MAJESTY took a ride this morning in the Park around the Palace, and is in excellent health and spirits. The greatest possible preparations are making for a general illumination in this city to-morrow evening. The Palace of Herrenhausen is about two miles to the north of the city, and there his MAJESTY has re mained. To-morrow morning he will make his grand entry into this city on horseback, accompanied by a procession of all the Civil and Military Authorities. At eleven o'clock the procession will be arranged at the Palace, and alsgut one o'clock his Mu nn 4 expected to make his entrance into this city, u n d er most beautiful ti iumphal arch, whi c h h as hem crectel ' 1 for that purpose. _ This city is extremely full of the most e , speetabie persons in this kingdom. Indepe n d ent of the 6„,i' Authorities, there are many of the German I}; ntes z: who are connected with the Royal F amil y °t G Britain. It is expected that the KING willrealea; here uniil the 'end of this month, o r t h e b eginnin.; the next. The army have various reviews and b rades, which will occupy the time.are e :t r There preparations making for a wild bo ar h unt, which usal take place on the 19th of this month, am ong the mountains to the south of this city. Another private letter says—" In my pror,ress to this town from the Prussian frontier, I witn e t ed , ) , ' strongest manifestations of loyalty and atra e h roentt his MAJESTY. At Glandorf, the first 'asap!, carne to after passing the frontier, I found the landlord el the inn, who is also the Postmaster, brushing a suit of antiquated uniform, in which he intended to an. pear before his MAJESTY. He said he would prese t his Royal Masterwith wine of a hundred and cum, years old, poured out in a gold cup, and expressed his earnest hope that his MAJESTY would conde , cexd to accept the libation. His daughter, u Ito irae n d e l the room with some refreshments, ott seeing an E l , lish Gentleman tender a sovereign in paym ent , inu ne .' diately snatched it from his hand, when she unde r . stood that it was stamped with the likeness of the KING. Fixing her eyes upon it with a look of etiZ e tic delight, she contemplated it for a few inclin e% and then, after pressing it tl:ree or four tines ta', 4 lips, declined she would not past with it as I,n ga , she lived. Surprised at the emotion she betrayed, t y, Gentleman asked if she had never seen the coin in fore? and she teplied, that this was the &suite she saw the lik:mess of tiro good King of Hanove r : At Munster the post-boys had a desperate contealin for the honour of driving his M.sars rv's One of them, who was a fellow of sonic humour, 41 that the Koenig von Pruasen (the King of Puusstrt, when he passed through, did not pi ov , tke such anm feelings among them, as they would all have km very well content to let any one who pleased dun his MAJESTY to the d—l.' You will not be stir; rnel to hear that the King of PRUSSIA is no laminae with the post-boys, when I tell yon that by an order lately issued at Berlin, any one of them who sUllte found asleep on his horse, is to be placed on a sea formed by three pieces of wood, brought to so sirup* point as almost to pierce through the fled), the unions nate offender being all the time compressed IA ithin a wooden frame, and unable to relieve himself any mho way than by an effort attended with a varied sort rf pain. This punishment continues for six weeks, daring which period the wretched sufferer gets nothing but bread and water, except on the third day, when le is allowed a little broth to sustain life. As soon as the time elapses, he is obliged to pay a fine of tweire dollars, and is then restored to his former situation, only to undergo more aggravated in fictions, Judd he again unhappily doze while on duty:" FURTHER PLANS OF RETRENCHMENT. Ministers, it is said, are immediately to take in band the long neglected Office of Receivers-Geter.d of Counties. They were recommended by the Finn Committee' as fit subjects whereon to exercise de sickle and the pruning -hook, and the following ap• pears to be the modus operandi on the occasion:— There are at present two, or more, Receives, Geed in some of the counties; but one in each county i,to be the future allowance throughout England. Ile average income of the situation has hitherto bn about £2OOO per annum, besides some " pickings from regular balances, to the amount of MI which these Officers have been permitted to retainit their hands. But henceforth a salary of £6OO pa annum is to be the sole remuneration of the Rectiso General, without a balance in baud, if it can be avoided, of one farthing ; and consequently withal any authorized " pickings" whatever. But the new plan of retrenchment extends furtba than the cutting down. the salary to the level pm scribed by the Finance Committee. They have also to select under those instructions, in instances whet the Receiver-Generalship of a county is divided among two or more individuals, one person to execute th whole; and Ministers are to put up the offices the; united in one to a species of auction; and give thea to him who bids the minimum of salary. In respect of the consequences which have alreadl flowed, and which must follow for some mnadd longer, from the operation of this retrenchment Inv ject, we may observe, that previously to the 10th ins. the Receivers-General were called upon, for the first time, to pay in £1,700 each of the accustomed and before untouched balance of £6,500. This requisi tion of the Treasury from' sixty-six Receivers, pro- Tided a sum of £112,200, in addition to the natod and ordinary sum total of the Assessed and Lai Tax for the October Quarter, and equivalent tots Nth of the boasted excess of the whole Revenutli the last Quarter over that of the corresponding Quarter in 1820. _ _ _ Further, it is a part of the scheme to make a 00 terly reduction of - the balances in the hands of th Receivers, until they shall at last be reduced to no thing. The large guarantees now demanded frog these Officers are, we understand, to be required 0 longer, and this on the plea that the balance d £6,500 is to be abolished also; but the old sccurinn amounted often to £lOO,OOO and upwards, althoug the authorized balance was never to exceed the lima mentioned above. There is yet another difficulty to be adjusted,* importance of which it is more than probable that Ministers will not be the last to find out. De R e. teiverships of Counties bate constituted for pats& most valuable patronage of County Members- 4 i those who considered it a point of conscience tor" for the Minister of the day.
