It is stated in tile Nasisciet Gazette. that Captain Wet ks, of the ship Martha, who lett Valparaiso on the lith of July. and arrived at Edgartowss on the 20th out touched at Rio Grande on the 6th of Sep tember, where it was reviled that a second revolt had taken place in Pernambuco, and that the city was in possession of the Patriots. The ship Emil-- prise, 'Captain Coffin. of Philadelphia, from Juan Fernandez, arrived at Valparaiso 9th July, with the garrison horn that place, who had given themselves up to the Patriots. It is currently teported that a young man named Williams, who keeps a retail store at M.ddletown, Connecticut, is ascertained to be the rightful heir to an Earldom in England, with an income of £15,000 sterling pa annum ; and that documents authorizing i•im to take immediate possession of his estate and title have just been received. We understand his patents emigrated from Bermuda. He is said to be a man of fair character, and ut unassuming manners. GERMAN PAPERS. BERLIN, NOVEMBER eO. M. Chalks Von Ess, Commissary of the Prince Bishop ani Catholic Priest, has published it Hal berstadt, in two sheets, •6 Plan of .a short History •t Religion," ace. In a prayer appended to this Plan,' and conceived in the spirit of it, he supplicates GOD " to let all men see that what they have hitherto named Reformation, has been the most dreadful Re volution on earth; that they may cease to praise 0 hat began with the rejection of several doctrines of thy Sox, and is now on the point of wishing to unite the world in unbelief in the same." The name of the student, who on the 18th of Oc tober, on the Wartburg. read over the titles of thirty- Ai: works in alplabetical order, and called to the by standers to commit the m with the various ensignia of degradation to the flames, left this University su early as the 27th of September. to visit other Universities and pieces of totunament. The came of the student is Maffroan. _ _ It is said the accounts of "hat took place on the Wartburg, have pro iuceda strong sensation inVienna BILRLIN, NOVIIMBER !t. By repeated endeavours, they have at last succeed ed in exciting in the mind of the King, suspicion with respect to the celebration of the 18th October on the Wartburg. The Stud-ots of this place, who took a part in it, have been subjected to an invtstigation, as also an Officer of the Guards .who was present at Eisenach. Those who have set on foot this exami nation, are partly persons who are knowing enough to wish to advance their cause by purposely exciting a suspicion ; but partly also persons who really be. lieve that a conspiracy was actually formed on the Wartburg. They will not be convinced, that a secret onion was not formed there, and suspect the worst, because the young men took the sacrament. The suspecting line politicians, with all their acuteness cannot penetrate into the secret. On account of the sacrament they are in dread, lest the investigation should lead to no discovery ; and the more cunning of the servile party have thereby found means to jus tify themselves, for having excited the suspicion and effected the investigation. eg Nothing could be brought out, because the young men who were seduced have taken the sacrament by way of sealing the bond of union." 'the ideotsl they seek for a secret, and endeavour to extort it by the terror of the Police, which is no other than the secret, and the property and the con viction of every honest man in Germany I The secret which ye seek is written in the bloody years of the Revolution ay war, the oppression of Germany, the liberation from a foreign yoke. a liberation not effec ted merely by Imperial and Royal Guards. What if you learn, that on the Wartburg, on the 19th, when all those who were not students were removed from the large room, there were read :-Ist, The Proclamation from Kalish; 4d, The 13th Article of the German Federal Act 1.3 d, The History of the Revolt of the Netherlands from the Spanish Despot, in a true translation from the Tableau of Ancillon, which underwent the purification of fire l —What it you learn the very marrow of the secret—that the German youths believe in the sanctity of the word even to them by their Prince I That they attribute the blame of the delay not to the Princes, but to the Councils, which place themselves betweerrthe Princes and the People, frequently calling themselves media tors, and not unlrequently are such mediators as the greyhound is between the hunter and the bare. Truly the German youth are not deficient in good will and reliance on their Princes; but it is impos sible to believe that Councillors, who are imbued with French principles of government, can be worthy foremen of the people ; it is impossible to believe that Frenchmen and Jews, or the friends of French. men and Jews, can be the best administrators of our foreign affairs and our finances. , By several men in high office the severest censures have been passed on the burning of several °diem • works on the Wartburg ; in how far these men have - spoken from conviction, or merely officially, is doubt ful. Neither will I attempt to defend the whole pro ceeding ; when the, censures. speak out and name themselves, there will be no want of defenders. But, the observation Inky here be permitted, that one thing may be becoming•in youth, and another in mature age. But if the censorship of fire /floes nut become yotalt, we wish to ask—What age does the censor ship, stealing in the clatk, become ? The youth or t h e o use.—'flie minor or the major ? If as open, frank, and hied decision, doei not be c ome youth, what age, what rank, what character, does the secretly listening, the lying in ambush to. discover persfm% and th:ngs, Cie espionage and secret reporting, 'he accusing and calomniAtiog, the break ing open of letters, the invention of malicious lie, such as that the act of the Holy Alliance in Eisenach . Whom does this become Prh.ces ut Germany, fulfil the 13th article, or you tear the German Union, and give yourselves up singly and without protection to/the hatred and the arms of the enemy, the suspicion of the pod, the distrust of the bad. It you wish that the Act of the Congress of Vienna should be a regulation, act up to it your selves. It the 13th article of the Federal Act is not carried into execution, jostler must be look• dto before Ana beyond the Federal Act ; and the mediatised are not wrong in dating their right prior to the time t'f the Federal Act. This one will take one year of Ger man history for his rule, and another a different year ; thus the discontented will appeal to imprescriptible rights, and the powerful to the law of the sword. LEIPSIC. We are in great apprehensions, as most of the merchants leave this place, some for M4gdeburg, whets for Drtsden , some form partnerships in Mag deburg, others in Berlin or Hamburgh The town has already lost the fourth part of its retail trade, by the division of Simony. SWEDEN. The most of the Iklinktel.ln provinces and towns have elected their Reptesentatives to the Storthing, and the lists are published. We remark among them many Dannebrog Knights, but on the contrary almost none of the persons who have been honoured with Swedish orders. A paper of Christiania asks it this is accidental or intention..l ?" NORWAY. The Journals in Norway continue to give vent to many a bitter observation against the Government ; in the Paper of Christiansand, it was lately said— runny of the errors and defects of our farmer Go vernment have been poiiited • ut in writings andJour nals ; but it seems as it o; .e et thy most imp mot errors had escaped the acuteneai of these writers a l namely, that Deumai k taxed ti Norwegians always so low, that the people miter were awaked out of their repose. they could so easily provide for the Go verianeut taxes; and as noboby needed to make strainea .Iteitiohs with that view, we have never I learned what anima' y and domestic ecomany was.— ' But this has nut escap, d the obierVations of our pre sent Government. w: <::: :as doubled our taxes to 'excite a spirit at activity the citizens, and this n .ble aim has nut yet .iccomplished, we may rxret, however. that it it reniaius true to the system it now ttiltiv , a, the citizen must at 1451 be led to a high pitch of industry." WUR 1 IMIII/tO. The good cause has Again been victorious. After a gloomy interval, the Ling has undo ibtedly fallen on u e risht means ; he has removed irons their places those, who, without any evil intentions, good w the public opinion as a hindrance between him and his people. The Minister Von Waugenheim, of *both the bong says— 'l boo gessiest wall, bet nal thou bast For Wenumbers no been. And • wlio, besides being a foreigner, is too obstinately attached to his tivri. opinion, is sent as-Envoy to the Diet ; and the Minister Von der Lutie, who since asked the Assembly of the States, 64 t 1 the people were ever yet consulted respecting what Cunsaitntson they wished to have P bas been placed in a state of retire., ment. M. Von Wangenheim's enlightened under• standing will be of great service to us at the Diet—' may he take history for a guide iu his projects moat than he has hitherto done I FRANKFORT, NOVEMBER st,• Among the papers presented to the Diet is a pe• titian from several inhabitants of many villages in the kingdom of Hanover, stating that the sum of 54,948 duller, paid by France as an indemnity to them, is withheld from them ; and praying that the Diet will be pleased to intervene with the Cabinet Ministry in Hanover, that this affair may be decided by arbitration; in which case, they choose the Royal Hanoverian Supreme Conn of Appeal at Cette. PROM THE ELU, NOVEMBEILIIO. What is very generally wished for in the Prussian territories, is that people should be left is peace, and that regulations, good enough in time of war, should not be kept up atter the war is at an end. Among these is the new Pass•gystem, which, supposing it capable of being carried into execution, can keep no foreign vagabond from entering our territories, bet gives the natives a great deal of unnecessary ttouble. PROM THE MAINE, NOVILMBEE ie. With respect to Massenbach, whoever finally may gain the action is not the question. That forms have been grossly violated in the arrest of Massenbach is a matter which remains tree ; whether Massenbach erred at Prenzlan or not ; whether he is an enthusiast or not. Even though the Council of State unani mously voted an order to the Minister at War to effect the arrest at Frankfort, and the Minister at War gave orders to break open doors, this does not alter the case. If the Allgemeitte Zeitmez and the Ger mam Okerver at Vienna, see matters in a different point of view from the rest of the world, they have their particular reasons; and that they may not ap pear partial, or as calumniators of the Bremen Awed, they will communicate them for the information of the incredulous. But that die Frankfort Joernals, especially the Journal de Frenifert, edited under the immediate influence of the Titan Post Directory and the French Embassy, as well as the Oloer-Peet- Ash- Zeitwe g, take a pan in the affair, and insert every thing against Massenbach, and nothing that makes in Latour of the unfortunate man, is not altogitLer in order. It is true, the Censorship, which is osten sibly in the hands of a Commissary *of Police, but which is in reality shared at pleasure by the accredited and unaccredited Agents of foreign States, makes the Editors so timid, that in many respects it would be better, if, in the free town of Frankfort on the Mayne, public opinion should not be insulted by the printing of any Journal, except the Petites *Sieber,. What Can be the object of such pitiful conduct it is difficult for any reasonable man to see. If in Menu and Wiesbaden the freedom of the Press thrives, and the weltare of the State is found compatible with in dividual liberty of speech, the pusillanimity of Frank ton, and its temporising and complying policy is not the most agreeable phenomenon io our times—and yet Frankfort might retain its independence without all this excessive abuts.

From the Jamaica Gazette of the 18th, we extract the following relative to SOUTH AMERICA. " CARACCAS, l e List Sunday, the lads* (general *mangy) to the Insurgents was published here with a great deal of pomp; three hundred troops were under arms, and lined the streets from the house of the Captain- General to the Cathedral, the barker, and other places where the General passed through. In the evening there were balls, concerts, and also a general rejoicing. In Mexico the latholta has had the most happy effect, and completely terminated the civil war. Here I doubt of a similar result, although of late the Insurgents have been worsted in all direc tions, as you will see by the public papers I send you herewith. 84 Yesterday accounts were received of a complete victory by Cslrada *vet Pats. The latter lost 400 men killed, and 600 prisoners, 9,000 horses, a great number of cattle, and all the camp equipage. This battle was subsequent to that announced in the ga zette. A levrbattles more of this importance, will certainly reduce the Insurgent forces to a mere skele ton. The loss of their horses will be most severely felt by Cwm. Deserters are daily presenting them. selves, who ar.: sent to their respective homes. Ge. neral Morino has ordered all the prisoners to be set at liberty—they enjoy the benefit of the Indulto. It is expected that General Z. will surrender. and take the benefit of the Indulto." It has been stated in various Etaily Papers that Spain was about to declare all the Colonial ports open to the Commerce of the European States with. out any reservation whatever but, on the contrary, we have reason to believe that a policy of a very opposite kind, and which will materially affect the Commercial interests of this togntry, is now content. plated by the Court of Madrid. If we may credit some statements, which have reached us through a very respectable channel s it is the intention of Spain, as soon as the ships lately purchabed from Russia shall have been newly manned Ind properly equipped for the service, to declare the whole harbours and coasts of all her South American colonies and quon dam colonies he a seek of Bloat& for which purpose these ships are to take in their cruize a bueqi of the Atlantic ranging along the whole 'South American coast to cut off all commerce and sepplies. front that Continent, except what shall be furniblied under the tog at FiItDJNAND. 414 t is, a Pieper4letidult system is to be set up (if oar information be correct) for the purpose of de stroy;ng ocr Commerce wit! the A!r..,; ; Ports, by rendering our ships liable tc seizure, , ever port they may be found bound for oa i!: • , whether •n an actual state of block 4 :c or not. I s possible this can be submitted to ? The Proclamation lately issae I, prohihnin g B r i t ; subjects from serving in the cet:se either cf the American Patriots or of FL:RD/NAND, has been tinned on the score of its neutrality. Circnn i , q , are said to be such that it -yerates to the iniury only one party—the Patriots—the fact being, while thousands offered tl serve in the Perrot ca: not one offered to serve in th.:t of the tvilt!;e:- try. It would be iode:d reEcting a bi.)ll horinnt our national character, were the fact re;:ily 59-104 would be presuming on a degree of ror al nation as connected with a spirit of military adv nto , which we have never yet known either n ttions io viduals to display, and presuming on much mtn, are sure, t h an the actual state of matters will to suppose any such thing. It is said that Lot offered to serve in the cause of the Mother Coyltr ) ." But in the first place we might ask, if it is iffit general impression of the public, and of daily who thus vaunt the preference shewn t o the triot cause, that the scheme of levying men iu country, has been solely confined to certain agents the Patriotic cause? If so then, what merit British soldiers or sailors have, in not offeri serve in a cause w hich did not invite or their assistance ? It remains, however, to be as. certaiued, whether the tact really is so, that t; e levying of men in this country has been mined as the Patriot Agents :—and on this point we have n. formation, which we believe will bear us out is affirming that it has not, but that ni the con:rcy there have been agents of FIRDINAND, nearly as active in levying men for the Royalist side of the question, as other agents have been in levying m ea for the cause of Independence. We ask (and there are servants of FiRDINAND who can set tae public right if we are wrong in our imputation), it it is rot • tact that the fleet lately purchased by Spain fr Russia, having been ordered to take Portsmout!i in way to Cadiz, there have been Spanish Ar actively employed in the meanwhile in a! seamen of all nations, but of our own country cially, to put on board that fleet on its arrival houses of rendezvous have been opened ►or the pose in different parts of the East end of the that considerable numbers have Accordingly . rolled—that temporary subsistence-money has ad and regularly been issued to those enroll) lastly. that on the appearance of the Preclamai question by our Government, these Spanish issued an order to their Receiving Houses, to nu more English sailors, bat to confine their tun enlistments to foreigners alone The truth, we believe, is, that the Spanit went, in urging our Government to interpo►e thority against the levying of assistance in this cnul try for the cause of the Patriots, has brought itself an act of such perfect neutrality as it in looked for, and which it would now be as well pled to have nothing to do with, seeing that the queuce• must be greatly more hurtful to itself they can possibly be to the Patriots. As an establi Government, and as having solicited the Protlama• tient in question, it is necessarily excluded from re• sorting to any thing approaching to the least evatioo of its injunctions; while the opposite party, from not [mine, any recognized relations with our Gover ment, will feel themselves at liberty to go as far as the letter of the Proclamation will possiii4 pertr.l them, in prosecuting their objects ; anal how far that may be, may be judged from the fact, that, net».:ti :Warns 1/sai Prceamation, the recrui tiag for the Pa ttiot standard continues, under various guises, to go on with as much spirit and success as ever. The Russian squadron to which we have above, has, as our Readers will see from cur N.v:al Lid, arrived at Deal, on its way to Cad 4. We have mentioned the prevailing report that the Allies have some intention of withdra v,ing their troops from France in March next—a repo:t which gain; some countenance from the last aCC‘ , .r:tS received from the Northern French frontier respecting :her. cruising of the French army. bit we are, nOtwit!.. . Standing, much inclined t o d ou b t ent i re ly t h e trio of the statement. The Allies retained, or were pet in possession of certain fortresses, as a security tor :d• Lain sums of money, stipulated to be paid by Frs. as well as for the purpose of repressing the revolg• tionary views of the tort 'tient and disatkcted. The stipulated payments have not all been made, :luta! cannot believe, whatever other Powers niay Prussia, after such recent complaints respectilic tit attempts to pay by negociation, and renionvirif and petition, and pleas of poverty, iustead of nit will su speedily abandon the pledged security, indeed any country can be found so full of nt r tl'o so gtlllable as to guarantee for France the payin:o l still due to her.
