XIV.] GERMAN PA: 3 ERS. FRANKFORT, APRIL 2.—We have received by express the Venni Court Gazette of the 29th ult., which contains the following intelligence : LAVBACH, MARCH 25.—Gen. Fardelle, has brought ,o his Majesty the King of the Two Sicilies, several letters from the Duke of Calabria, and also a representation of the Parliament , s all of which, indeed, tended to submission, but at the mate else contained proposals, the acceding to which was to facilitate to the revolutionary party the issue of the affair. His Majesty, without entering into any proposals, expressed himself, in answer to the Duke of Calabria, in the same language and sentiments as as he held in the preceding correspondence with the Duke and the Parliament of the 23d of February; and General Fardells returned on the 19th, from Florence, to the head-paws of the General in Chief of the Imperial army, %hose operations against Naples, as our accounts show, were not at all re tarded by the mission of Gen. Fardella. " A short time after the death of Prince Alex- ander Suzzo, an insurrection broke out in Walachia, at the head of which was a native of the name of Theodore, who was formerly a volunteer in the Russian service, was promoted to the rank of officer, and afterwards assumed the name of Wlatlimerisco. This insurrection, in which only Pardours and Arnouts participated, and which, besides, according to the leader's own declaration, was not directed against the Porte. but against the Boyars and public officers of the country, spread so extensively during 'the interregnum, that Theodore travelled with impunity a considerable part of what is called Little Walachia (the country Crajowa), and appre hensions are entertained respecting his further ope rations. It was, tuiwever, hoped that the approach ing arrival of Prince the new appointed Hospodar of Walaehia, would put an end to these disorders, when, suddenly, troubles of far greater importance broke out in Moldavia. " On the 6th of this month, Prince Alexander Ypsuanti, son of the former Hospodar of Moldavia, and Major-General in the Russian army, who for this year past has been out of actual service, pro ceeded with a numerous retinue of Arnouts, trout Bessarabia to Jassy, and announced himself 'as the deliverer of the Greeks from the yoke of the Turkish government. On the same evening, the Turks who were at Jassy, about thirty in number, were dis. armed, and according to all appearance put to death. It is certain that already, three days before the ar rival of Prince Ypsilanti, an in insurrection attend ed with bloodshed, had taken place at Galaca, in which al the Turks in that city, who would not save themselves by flight, were massacred, and the city itself almost laid in ashes. On the 17th of March, Prince Ypsilanti issued numerous procla mations, both to the inhabitants of Moldavia and Walachia, and to the Greek nation in the provinces pt' the Turkish empire, " These proclamations which are drawn up in the Most exalted language of poetry, in which he de clares himself to have been called upon by many thousands of his countrymen to undertake the work of their deliverance, descrit.ta the insurrection of ell the Circe': tribes as a revolution whif.li has bog been dekrmined upon, which has been preparing tor many years by secret patriotic societies, and is now every where matured for wo r tcution ; and it ls likewise expressly asserted in them, that the en, terprise has to expect Ihe powerful support of a great neighliouring power, " At the same time, Prince Ypsilanti addressed a petition, drawn up in the same style, to his Ma jesty the Emperor of Russia, and called upon that august sovereign not to refuse his powerful support to the Greek nation, and particularly to the two principalities which were exposed to grcot datsger. "As soon as the preceding intelligence was re• relved at Lsybuch, the Bicperor Alexander was pleased tp declare that lie could consider the under. taking of Ibince Ypsilanti only as an efl'art of the Unquiet spirit which characterises the present times, as well as the inexperi;:noc and levity of that young Man; but at the Same IttS Majesty lets rtiOlVed as fOIIOW. fr 6 jist Silanti is exph;(l,3ll from do jtuisian liCcVi43l3. " gdo.-It ie ratified to hint that his Isittlesty the 11, liquor e ts tiray disapproves of hig unterprhia, SUNDAY, APRIL 16, 1821. and that he is never to expect any kind of support in it on the part of Russia. i• 3t1.--Express orders are given to General Count Wittigenstein, commanding in chief the Rus sian troops on the Pruth and Bessarabia, to observe the strictest neutrality in the troubles which have broken out in the principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia, and under no pretext whatever to take any part in them, either directly or indirectly. the Russian ambassador at orders to communicate them to the Porte ; and, to confirm the frank and open assurances given to it on occasion of the late insurrection in Walachia, Baron Von Strogonoff shall express'' , declare that the po i licy of his Majesty is, once for all, alien to all and every intrigue which may threaten the tranquillity of any country whatever; that any participation in such commotions would be in contradiction to the upright principles of his Imperial Majesty; and that the Emperor, in his relations with the Porte, has no object and no wish but the maintenance and punctual execution of the treaty subsisting between the two powers.' " Orders have likewise been given by our Court to the imperial Austrian internuncio at Constanti nople, to express himself in the same manner, and to signify to the Porte, in the most friendly terms, the sincere desire of his Majesty the Emperor, by the inviolable observance of the treaties, to preserve unshaken the relations of peace and amity now sub sisting between Austria and the Sublime Porte. MASSACRE AT AlAinLid. Extract of a Letter, dated in the Convent of Augustin, Manilla, 18th Oct. 1820:-- " 1 address you front this Convent in the deepest state of affliction and distress. The horrible and afflicting events which have prayed in Manilla since the 9th of the current mouth, hate thrown me Into a ►rate of delirium and stupor which 4lmost deprives me of the faculty of cei 1111 l unicating what I would wish to relate. " On the Ist of this mouth a tremendous gale of westerly accompanied by a heavy fall of rain, occasioned a rise 1.. the waters of the Luke, far above its usual level, sod inundating all the Wetlands of alauilla. Oct the 2d the water beget to subside, and in consequence of the drearliol commotion iu the Lake, proceeding from the torrents which poured into it from the sor tains, as well as from the mese of film anil r L i s il i ti n i rl i no wh o ie n t had been left on its batiks, sent forth 4 mixture of water and iuf. ction in the air which has produced au epidemical disease, to which thousands have fallen sictum. "The native populatiumeitlier from blind ignorance, or influenced in their opinions by those who du not wish the foreigners well (for reasons which I will explain in a Nar rative I am preparing of the facts), Imagined that the French residents had poisoned the lake and river which runs from it towards Manilla, making this a pretence to assassinate and plunder, not only the French, but all straeget s without disci iminatioa, The horrible design was carried into effect on the of the current month in Binundo, the swots ba of 11.1111114, commencing first with the French, and ultimately with all strangers without distinction of nation. "Twenty-five Gentlemen, Captains and Supercargoes of the foreign ships, now in Civiti, including, I deeply regret to say, my partners, Alessts. Sliaffilitalty an I Duntifelr, fell a sacrifice to the cruel knife of these liar Wiens, and ou the following day sixteen Chinese, who, as they ,oppose, were CUllell iced in the poison plot.

Tbe great number of Morceattz recitals which have recently adorned the London Gazelle, under the above title, have been cooked and carved, smug gled in and bullied out,by the worst of the suppmters of a bad and tottering administration. Among the finemost and most brilliant of these exhibitions was the one from the corporation of Dublin, presented in perm by the ilt fireoarrobk the Lord Mayor of that City and a deputation, for whose accommodation the vice-regal yatch was lent.—Our readers will perceive the extent of upright and disinterested patriotism by which his Lordship has been actuated, by the following extracts from a report recently laid on the table of the House of Commons, and will cease to wonder that one who partakes so plentifully of the " loaves and fishes," of " the candle-ends and cheese-parings," should feel himself bound in honour and honesty to support the powers which be, be they what they may. " ethly.—That in the first account of the supply of the country stock of books furnished by Alderman King being for the year 1816. there were 278 books stated to be, and charged for, as bound in vellum, which were covered with Merit. (sheep skin of half the value of vellum); and of which there were 48 that were not bound, but shoold have been charged for under the schedule as stitched. That there were also 2,736 pro patria, folio malt stock books, charged as bound et is. each. which were stitched, and for which the charge should have been 10d. ; and there were 3,399 decoy quartos. charged for as bound books at Is. I id., though properly they were not so, being, as stated by a binder. ' technically called, covering with wrapper and forril; the price paid for one of which books executed to order was Is. Id.' " sthly.—That the total acnotuit of this account for binding was 1,1441. 18s. 3d.; and the amount of the overcharge therein on the articles particularly specified was 5201. 19e. Id. " Gthly.—That similar frauds and impositions were practised in the subsequent supplies orstock for the country collections for the years 18t7, 1818, and 1819. except that the pro patr;a, folio, malt stock books were in consequence of directions from the officer of the stationary stores charged for as stitched. which was their proper denomination, the work remaining the same as in the first year's supply, or as nearly as not to make any difference in the value thereof. 7thly.—That this circumstance. though calculated to excite an immediate attention to, and produce a revision of, the general execution of the works, had not that effect. " Estilly.—That the amount of the over charge in the three stock bills last referred to, is 6711. 175. Sd., making a total of 1,1921. 16s. 6.1. in the four bills, without adverting to any over charges which may have be,ll made fur similar hooks in the quarterly hills, which cannot now be ascertained." " 17thly—That the fraud of charging vellum prices for forril covering was detected by the officers of the stationary, in the Month of November, 1818; and Alderman King immediately upon his being acquainted with it, repaired to the Chairman of of the Board, apparently in a most unaffected state of totarien and distress, and declared that lie could in no ot!icr way account for the frauds that had been discovered, than by his servant, John Fox, being in a conspiracy to ruin and destroy him, both in character and tortune, for the discovery of which alleged con spiracy, the examination of John Fox, who was brought from the stationary stores, where he then was, immediately commenced. .• Itithly—That neither such conspiracy, nor the allegation of Alderman King, that • Fox, in his proceeding, wrtE actuated by malice toward. him, or instigated by some malicious person or persons, for the purpose of inotrieg him,' has been suopored of substantiated by any evidence." The Queen's courier was stopped last week at Lyons, on his way toßome, and had all his despatches seised by the French police; his person was search ed, and his letters taken from hint ; a seal was put upon his bag, which was sent to Paris. The courier was desirous of carrying the despatches to Paris, but was prevented, when he returned to England, and arrived at BrandenbuNh house on Saturday night. Lord Hood wrote immediately to Lord Castlereagh, who replied, that at. instant communication should be main to the British Ambassador at Paris, Her Majesty has scot a person to Paris with the courier, with instructions that every letter should be opened. In consequence of the death of his father, who died the Stlt inst, I ,ord Castlereagh is now Martiais of Londonderry, and being an Irish Peer, eannot represent any place in Ireland in the Houso of Coen. mons, It is supposed that he will be electiAl for the borough of rlyinpton. Ills lordship leaves town this week ft:r Mount Stewart, in the county of Down, to ~attend the obsequies of his late father.

The Earl of Kinture lately met with a very serica s accident while hunting with his tas•huunds.
