C/LRNY GEORGAS. tltoll TNt LITtRAZY GAZZTTL, Georres Petrowich, bens ko• wn by the name of Czerny-Geo• grit. that is to say Black George, was born of a noble Servian family, in the neighbourhood of Belgrade. Belem he had attained the age of man hood, he w4s une day met by a Turk, who with an imperious air ordered him to stand out of his way, at the same time declaring that be would blow out his brains. Czerny. Georges, how: ver, prevented him from putting this threat into execution, and by the discharge ef a pistol immediately laid him d ad on the ground. To avoid the dangerous consequences of this affair, he took refuge in Transylvania, and entered the military service of Austria, in which be quickly obtained the rank of non.commissioned officer. His Cartain having ordered him to be punished, Caerny-Georges challrnged and killed him. He then returned to Servia. where, at the age of twenty five, he became the chief of one of those bands of malcontents which infest every part of the Turkish dominions, who pride themselves upon the title of kleptai, or brigand, and whom the non-Mussulman Population consider as their avengers and liberators. Czerny Georges, encamped in the thick forests, waged war against the Turks with unheard-of cruelty s he spared neither age nor sex, and extended his ravages throughout the whole province of Servia. The Turks having, by way Of retaliation, condemned twenty-six of the principal Servians to death, the father of Czerny-Georges, shocked at so many hor rors, determined to abandon the banners of his son, whom he had previously joined. The old man even threatened to deliver up the whole troop to the power of the Turks, unless they immediately consented to relinquish the useleu contest. Czerny conjured hint to alter his resolution; but the old man persisted and 'cc out for Belgrade. His son followed him. Having armed at the Servian outposts, he threw himielf on his knees and again entreated that his father would not betray his country; but finding him infiexible, he drew out a pistol, fired it, and thus became the mur derer of his parent. The Servians still continued to augment the band of Caerny-Georges. Emboldened by the numerous advantages he bad obtained, this chief at length sal lied from his forests, besieged Belgrade, and on the Ist of December, 1806, forced that important fortress . to surrender. Being proclaimed Generalissimo of his nation, he governed it with unlimited power. The principal Nobles and Ecclesiastics, under the presidency of the Archbishop, formed a kind of Se. nate, or Synod, which assembled at Semendriah, and which claimed the right of t itemising the sovereignty. But Catrny Georges annulled the acts of the assem bly, and declared by a decree, that during his lite no one should rise above him ; that he was sufficient in himself, anu stood in no need of advi►ers. In 1807 he ordered % ne of his brothers to be hanged for some trifling want ut respect towards him. The conquest of Servia was accompanied by the massacre of the Turks; no mercy was sbewn even to those who voluntarily surrenderedihemselves. Cserny- Georges being attacked by an army of 50,000 Min -. schuss, valiantly, defended the banks of the Mo. rave; and had ho possessed the means of obtaining fortis* officen to discipline the intrepid Servians, he might perhaps have reestablished the kingdom of Servs*, which, under Stephen 111. resisted the Men gel:, and under Stephen Damian included Bulimia, Macedonia, and Bosnia. In 1387, Sonia, though tributary to the Turks still retained its national Princes, who assumed t he title of despots; in 1463 they were succeded by a Turkish Pasha. Their house beeline extinct in 13(0.—Cearny-Creorges was tall andviell made ; but his appearance was agetbet ' "age and displeasing, owing to the disproportionate length of his countenance, his small and sunken eyes, bald forehead, and his singular method of wearing his hair gathered together is one enormous tress, which hung down upon his shoulders. His violent spirit was marked by an exterior of Boldness and apathy ; he sometimes passed whole hours without uttering a single syllable, and he neither knew how to mid nor write. lie never resorted to the diver sion of huntini above once during the year. He was then ac:ompanied by from three to four hundred Pandours, who assisted him in waging a deadly war against the wolves, foxes, deer, and wild goats which -inhabit the forests of futile but uncultivated Servia. • The entire produce of his hunting was .publicly sold for his own profit. He also sought to augment his patrimony by confiscajocs. At the Treaty of Peace i.t 1812. Raids proVided for the interests of Servia. That province was ac knowledged to be a vassal and tributary of the Porte. Czerney Georges retired to Russia ; and lived at Lis a:muff in Bouarabia. His return to Servia in dis guise, his discovery, and execution have been re cently stated. According to a census taken at Rome, the present population of that capital is 131,3.56 l in 1816 it was Dolt 128.981.

The following i% the Memorial of Baron Von Mau mum: to t"'r Dlet. to which we lately alluded : " Huse FIDI aAL Assasssze (—Ties latb Article of the Gee man Federal Act e tahlisises as It were an universal system of political rights for Germans, as by its provisions every German is allowed to acquire. and to possess landed property in every one of the Federal States of Germany. whoever possesses this major right, In virtue of the solemn contract of all the German Princes. may certainly (if he is a man. unquestionably entitled to legal privileges) lay claim to the minor right of Suing his , residence in another German State, under the protection of and yielding obedience to the laws. This right was so strongly felt by the high authors of the German Federal Act, that they could not even contemplate the possibility of such a violation of all per sonal bber.y, and, therefore, they did not conceive tt necessary in their Act to lay down any particular protection for rights held sacred among all civilized nations. How much these sacred rights have however been violated by the Government of Baden, toward, a father whose eldest son fell in the struggle fee the freedom of Germany, and who wished tomake the necessary arrangements for est.btishing his wood son In a German Units iter.i , y—inwards a German who wished to enjoy the society of ' men distinguished in the Literature of Lis country, and to avail himself 4 the advantages which an University library afforded for a literary undertaking—is proved by the documetos Nos.

If ever I have erred, my opinion has never been Influenced by urewOrhy motives, but always guided by sincere conviction My public language in the Assembly of the states of Wurtemberg was tke result of this conviction. and I conscientiously discharged what I considered to be the dui I owed to the.people as one of their Repre-entatives elected ender the Laws of the Land. I Has the steeds( of suc h a dory become a crime in Germany?— If the mere words " according to special circumstances; are to authorise the separation of a father frouthis child (for if my sees had already reached Heidelberg, drool, my treatment hays been direrent f j the man of cultivated Iliad from the instructive so. dole of tainted men, and boot all public niesos of improvement, there is at once an end to all personal freelom In Germany. and it will be vseku to carr e into execution the provisions of the fe ' demi act. by the formation of itepre.entative Constitutions. if the dienifiedboldoess of those chosen under the laws to be Re presentatives of the People, can oily be rewarded with calamity and persecution. I am not unacquainted with history, but I have never heard of such attacks having hitherto been made on personal liberty, but in a revolutionary state of things. But, thrall Goo I neither the Grand Duchy of Baden, nor any other German territory is in such a condition. I have immediately obeyed the commands which I received ; but I consider it due to my own honour. and to the comas° welfare, to make known a proceeding which wound. so deeply the rights of every German. the High Federal Assentloy is part called en to protect these sacred right.. and preserve the previsions of the act of federation.

" malting as die Mayne, August I, FROM THE RHINE. That the article in the Frankfort Journal, relating to the arrest of Colonel Von Massenbach, has here, as well as in all the rest of Germany, and even in other countries, produced the greatest sensation, may' be very easily supposed. It .may be proper, till we shall receive further information respecting this id fair, to refrain from pronouncing any opinion on the conduct of the Prossian Government, or on the guilt or innocence of Colonel Von Massenbach. But surely the account given by the Editor of the Frankfort Joensal must be incorrect; for,—and on this subject the public opinion is not divided,--this account com promises not merely the honour of the free town of Frankfort, and the honour of the Prussian Govern ment, but it degrades the whole German nation, l both in their own eyes and in the eyes of foreigners. What I Could it be possible that die Milian Govern ment should order the arrest of a German citizen and the seizure of his papers—and that in a German free town, the very place where he wished to seek an ' asylum and legal protection from the Diet, against the political persecutions which his bold but not il legal defence of the rights of the people of Wur temburg drew down upon him—that it should have robbed him of his liberty, and dragged him like one of the vilest criminals through Germany, not to take his Wad before the ordinary tribunals, but to appear before a Special Court of Commission, surely to at. mod fir his toidutt—that is, to account for his con duct which is already known, and qui for any un known crimes. respecting the nature add commission of which the Prussian Government could not obtain sufficient evidence by an ordinary investigation ? that the free German town of Frankfort should have at once made itself the instrument of depriving of his personal liberty a German, and not merely one man, for without taking the worth or worthlessness of this one man into consideration, where there is any feeling for honour, justice, or liberty in a people, by such an arbitrary and open violation of honour and justice, committed by the Government against one citizen, all are equally insulted ? Could it be possible that this free town should have in this manner publicly declared, that in the very walls guaranteed by the German Federation, the civil free&m of a German citizen can find no protection against the very first demand of a foreign political Power ?—that it should have violated in sq gross a manner the firmest foun dation of the free German towns, free German rights and the public opinion ? Could it be possible, if the proceedings known to the public have given occasion to such measures, that the tree town of Frankfort should have united itself with the Government of Wurtemburg, which first persecuted M. Von Mas senbach, and now with the Prussian Government, and . thus given foundation to the unhappy sus picion, that the free and open language of M. Von Massenbach in the cause of liberty and justice, and perhaps also his bold warning against the preponde rance of Russia, albne drew down on him the prudew tion of the German Governments? And all thit only a few weeks before the time when the festival was to be every where solemcized of the German man, who, LT his tree and peblic imlence of liberty and justice, vindicated and preterred for his country and tor Eu. rope freedom of mind and political liberty, and M soon after the title when the streams of blood, vo luntarily poured out by the German People, replaced and again secured their Princes on their 'lshrones; but not certainly to exchange domestic for foreign oppression ; but to obtain the restoration of old Ger. man rights, which was solemnly promised to them ? Truly, whoever has at heart the cause of freedom and justice, and whoever, like the writer of this, is in any manner acquainted with the principles of the political and criminal laws of the Germans, cannot possibly give credence to this account. Snob a belief would be arinjurious to Governments as to chines's. It is therefore to be earnestly wished, that an official correction of the article iu the Frankforulouroal, clearing up a u affair so injurious to the honour and justice of the free town of Frankfort, the Prussian Go "ernment, and the whole German Nation, may be laid before the public as soon as possible. BERLIN, AUGUsf 27. A society has formed itself here for obtaining and securing the Liberty of the Press. There are to be found in it not only several writers of celebrity, but gloomily practical men. Attheir first meeting they came to a resolution—ht, To afford such support to M. filallinchrodt as may best enable him to succeed in the process against him ; and-2dly, to deliver a Memorial to the King on the melancholy conditi of the Berlin newspapers. Several other resolutions were agreed to, which merit the praise and approba tion of all true patriots. GHENT, AUGUST 25. The following is an extract of a private letter: " The scene here is so very different to that we recently left in Old England, that it will take some time to reconcile us to it ; but that we find has been the case with all the English now here, who assure us that we shall in due season subdue all our present prejudices, and like both the place and its society. 'Ghent is certainly a very fine old city, and possesses many advantages. The buildings are mostly upon an extensive scale, and exhibit a magnificent exterior, but within are miserably deficient, when compared to the comforts and arrangement of such mansions at home. The country is highly cultivated and abun dant in good seasons, but was miserably defective last year, and productive of great wretchedness among the lower classes, who still have an unpleasant pro spect before them, as we have constant rains. A few fine days would brighten our hopes, and make every heart glad. Bread is dearer than in England, and very indifferent. No new wheat has yet b ground. Meat is sixpence per pound, and the ot e. t e e l t l necessaries of life in proportion ; but house-rent is cheap, and taxes are trifling. The society, we are told, is good ; but every body of consequence is out of town, and the custom of the country is, that the stranger must pay the first visit to those he wishes to he acquainted with—a strange custom, but we must submit, or live out of society.

The ifersiteer announces that “ Marshal the Duke of RAGUSA arrived on the Sd of September at Dijdn, about eleven o'clock in the morning, and de. paned at two o'clock in the afternoon, taking the route for Lyons." Now Marshal the Duke of RA.. OUSA, it will be remembered, set off from Paris post haste on the night of the 28th, and must have arrived at Lyons, which is only 220 miles distant, on the SOth at farthest. Indeed, if we may believe the most au thoritative of our contemporaries, letters have been re ceived from Lyons of the Ist and 2d instant, stating the actual arrival of the Duke of RAacru in that city. And yet, ooly one day later than these letters which leave the Duke of &louse at Lyons, we fiad him an hundred miles off—at Dijon I So sudden a move ment cannot certainly be owing to any ordinary cause —nor can that cause now be much longer officially concealed from the public. The following are farther Extracit from these Papers 3 _ _ PARIS, SEPTEMBER S. The sentence of Desba us and Chayoux was con. firmed by the Council of Revision of the first Military Division, last night, and will be put in execution citbin twenty.four hours. Thursday morning his Majesty transacted business with the Director of Posts, and afterwards with the Nuke of Richelieu. Last night his Majesty, accompanied by the other Members of the Royal Family, went to the Opera to see the representation of Ferdissand Cortez, and the Cansival of Venice. The audience hailed the presence 'of the august spectators by the liveliest acclamations. The French chaant of Pitts Rsi 1 rive la Francs was sang by Lavigne with lima effect. " When the King consents to amuse himself, (say the people) all gees well." Daring part of today his Majesty has been en. gaged with the Ministers for Foreign Affairs and of General Police. The Count de Ruppin (King of Prussia) arrived at Rheims on the Sd, and the Prince cf Orange and Duke of Wellington followed shortly after. The Duke of Reggio had arrived some time before. A numerous suite .t superior Officers attended the illustrious personages from the Camp of Risquetont. a village between Bethel and Rheims, where the last review took place. The Prevotal Court 'of Pau has found Dausonne and Curiae guilty of participating in the assassina tion of General Rand, and condemned them to five yearrimprisonment. " This General, (said the Ad vocate for the accused) although he was the first to hoist the white flag in Toulouse, was an old adherent of Bonaparte's, and some proposals which he had made to the Toulousians had prepossessed them against him. His death was the effect of j popular fury. produced by reports unfortunately too much credited, that he had concealed Uener.ils Clause' and Damen."

At half past eleven o'clock this morning, hit Royal Highness the PRINCI It Lozsr, accompanit d by Sir B. 131.ciosinzLn and a numerous suite, embarked on board the several boats in waiting at the bottom rf the Steine, and proceeded on board the Royal George yacht under several salutes of guns from the differett vessels in the roads, which displiyed their vari int colours. The yacht immediately sailed, and at MI this afternoon was out of sight. The Royal Parl returned this evening. The day was remarkably fine, and a moderate breeze favoured the voyage. The cliffs and beach were lined with nearly all the bitants of the town, who flocked to witness the spec. tack, and all the boats that could be found were in :e. quisition for the same object. His Royal Highacti seemed iu good health and spirits. Sunday 'Thanksgivings were offered up in the dif ferent Churches and Chapels of the Metropolis tot the favourable state of the weather. In the two most populous towns in Wiltshire, Bradford and Trowbridge, there is scarcely a weaver out.of emp h y. In Manchester, last week, the demand for calicoes has been lively, and prices on Tuesday advanced five per cent. A good deal of business has also bees done at Glasgow, within the last fortnight, in mans. factured goods. Letters from Jamaica, of the 20th July, mentius l that considerable sales of goods continue to be ear. ted, but the prices were low. The Dublin Papers of the sth instant, which base arrived, mention many cases of death by the typhus fever now prevalent in every part of Ireland. The Citizens of Dublin have begun to convene Parochial Meetings, for the purpose of considering the means to prevent the spread of this frightful and fatal disease. Letters have reached town from Cadiz, to the date of the 16th ultimo, where intelligence had been ob tained from Lima of the 26th of April last. By this it appears that a strong sensation had been pro- I, duced by the conquest of Chili by the Insurgents, and that this effect had been occasioned, not only by the apprehension for the future, but by the inconve nience for the present. It is true, that the danger for Peru itself, of which Lima de los Reyes is the capital, was remote, but the existing difficulty arose froM the interruption of the trade to Chili, and the loss of about one million of dollars, constituting the balance on the subsisting interchange with Valcz. raiso and theothereommercial portsof the Intendenc). —Notwithstanding the expectations that had been raised of the departure of the new Expedition for South America from Cadiz, it seems that, from the want of supplies of every description, it was not likely to sail for a long time. The Government had in deed given orders, under the pressing remonstrances received from the Colonies, to hasten its departure; but it had not adopted the expedients indispensible for this purpose ; the soldiers were not assembled who are to constitute the military armament, and only a very few of the troops who were to be embarked were in the Ida de Leon. Even the destination the expedition was not determined, and at the time when Montu.o was calling out for succours in t!:e north, and the Viceroy of Lima in the west, the opi• Rion prevalent was, that this armament was intended for the south-eastern division of the Spanish Arne• titan colonies. In our preceding columns will be found an ;ate. resting article, by,a German Writer, on the late arrest of Colonel MASSENBACII. It has, it seems, been ;he misfortune of the Colonel to have vindicated, its a legal manner. the constitutional liberties of his lean's countrymen of Wurtemberg ; he has called nn tLe Sovereigns of Germany to perform their solemn ptr• wises to their Subjects; he his dared to raise his voice against At issvionderanse of Russia. For 1 exertions in the cruse of freedom he has been vit)• jetted by several Princes to the most unjust treatmer. Confiding in the protection which the laws ought to afford to him who has never violated them, he pro- ceeded to the seat of the Diet to complain of Ole pression which he had suffered. He had, it seem , , once been in the service of Prussia, but had left it ten years ago ; and to his conduct wliik in OA sr• vice no account had ever been detrandeil of Lim, in) to the present time. A charge, however, wi t h t oe. rence to that conduct, has tr)w been got up, has been dragged from what he conceived the $1.4-• tuary of Frankton, to a Prussi.tn dungeon, fro 3 which he never expects to return to the light of der till he mounts the scaffold.
