G •1 1 . 4 Y PAPERS. CONSTANTINOPLE, Frs. to. The accounts received in the beginning ofJann arv, stating that Chorschmid Achmet Pacha had entered Aleppo, and subdued the rebels in that city, Lave not been confirmed. The Paella is still col lecting troops, that he may be able, if necessary, to support by forte his instruction to accomplish an amicable arrangement of the differences existing between him and the inhabitants of his Pachaliek VIENNA, MAncii 17. The intimate cotnniercial connexion which has been established since the Ist January this year, between the kingdom of Poland and the Russian empire, is so important, that an outline of the par ticulars of the newly-adopted system must be wel come to our readers. The establishment of the tolls on the frontier of Russia, towards Poland, is still maintained, but only in respect to goods coming from or going to foreign countries, eze. ; for salt, tobacco, brandy, and playing cards, in every other respect Poland ceases to be considered as a foreign country. There is a free and uninterrupted pas , sage across that frontier for, Ist, all the ram pro ductions of the two countries which are intended for the use of each other respectively, with the only condition of specifying them at the frontier, for statistical purposes; t2d, the vannufactures and pro ductions of the industry of the two countries, but accompanied with certificates of origin; and those manufactured from the raw materials of the two countries respectively, free of duty ; those manufac tured from the raw materials furnished by other countries, upon conditions hereafter to be deter mined. The Russian ministry of finance, and the Polish Government. will agree together on the most con venient stations fur taking the export duty on Rus sian productions exported to foreign countries through Poland. To meiatein the superintentlenee over the im portation of foreign manufactures through Poland into Russia, and at the same time increase the trade, and especially the fairs of Warsaw, it is or dered-1. That, to prevent fraud, the Russian chief board of customs is to receive from the Polish Government a complete catalogue (to be successively completed as circumstances require) of all Polish manufactories, with a statement of the place, the proprietor, the quality anti quantity of the goals manufactured, adding the stamp and mark of the manufacturers: but that (2) all goods coming from the Warsaw fairs to Russia shall have, for three s ears together, the abatement of ten copecs per terble on paying the tariff duty to the Russian cus tom-house at Warsaw, and of five copecs per ruble on paying it at the Russian frontier toll-house. 3. All Polish manufactured goods, except front those parts which are too remote, shall be imported into Russia by way of Warsaw only, and have a certificate front the Russian board of customs. All the subjects of the two states are entitled to be admitted into the Guild or Companies of each other. Travellers front Russia to Poland, and vice versa, are subject to no other formalities than from one Government of the Russian empire to another. OFFENBACH. MARCH V. The assembly of the States of the Duchy of Nassau for this year commenced its sittings on the '2.oth. His Highness Prince Charles of Yunburg died yesterday at Birkstron, after a tedious illness, in the 51th year of his age. FRANKFORT, MAnnt The ecclesiastical affairs take a favourable turn ; the last accounts which we have received upon this subject arc of a very satisfactory nature. It is a mis take that it is intended to send a new deputation to Frme, as some journals have stated. A chymist at Dresden has just discovered a composition, by means of which the effect of gunpowder will be doubled. ZURICH. Mum' 16. Authentic accounts have been received of the arrival of two vessels front Holland at Rio de Ja neiro, having a considerable number of the Swiss colonists, v:ho were immediately sent to Santo Gallo, s'• here they would find every thing requisite for their new establishment.

Every thing indicated a desire of escaping if the rockets hail placed their sectui tity in danger, or if they had set fire to the merchant vessels, which were united or made fast to windward of their hue of defence, formed by the V enganza, Esme ralda, Sebastiana, Resolution and Cleopatra, Truzillmo, Panel°, and Maipo. The Resolution and Cleopatra, as also the Castles, threw continually hot shot at us, fol lowing the advice of the Archbishop of Lima. The new preparations being completed yesterday evening, I ordered that the brigs of war should conduct the rafts (rockets and mortars) to their position, and that the tire-ship commanded by lieutenant Morgell should pro ceed to her destination, immediately there commencing to dischar4e the rockets, at which time. I directed in line the squadron towards the eastern shove, with a view to prev ht the escape of the enemy. The brigs had scarce advanced within gunshot of the enemy's vessels and batteries, when they commenctql upon us a very brisk fire, which greatly imrea3cd on the approach of the fire ship Victoria. Being already %vithin the reach of grape shot flow the batteries, and n.7ar the chain which sur rounds the enemy's vessels, and the water entering her hold in torrents, Lieut. Moraell set fire to her (all her rigging being cut away) and in ten minutes she blew up; which would have annihilated the naval force of Callao if there had been more wind, so that the Victory could have passed the battery with greater velocity. " Waiting the explosion of the Victory, I had re ta'ned the Gorgana ; but being nearly calm, 1 believed it useless to make a new attempt, seeing that the rock ets bad no better effect this night than the first. The cause of this is already too palpable; some burst in con sequence of the tubes or cylinders being badly soldered, situ others broke al the tail, having unfortunately been made of a very knotty and blink wood. " I cannot refrain from manifesting to you my regret at these unfortunate circumstances, aggravated by the calms which continually prevail in Callao. I have de termined to operate on a diffcrent plan, which I hope will pro luce a better effect, " Captains Spry and Crosbie, and UentenantPrunier, of the brigs Galvarino, Arancano, and Poeyrredon, hate conducted themselves with the greatest bravery. The damages which these vessels recened in their spars were of little consideration, and are already repaired. " Lieut. Morgell, and two seamen that acenarpani a in the Victory, deserve for their valour a reward. zeal and co-operation of Admiral Blanco a:e worthy ot ! every praise. 'fife captains, ollicerz, marines, tn;l;tary, and marine troops, have all behaved with the gre:zWit. distinvion. I have the honour of assuring you that 1 am, with the highest consideration of ra.inect, vws. •' COCHRANE. Cal. Don Jose Ignacio Zantenn, Minister of the Marine of the State of 7'HE QUEEN. Letters have been received in town from her Majesty the Queen of England, dated Rome, the 16th ultimo. Her Majesty complains of not having received any messenger from Government, announc ing the demise of our late lamented Sovereign. Her Majesty states, that the Hanoverian Minister and British Consul, and all persons connected with the British Government, treat her with great indignity; they continue to call her Princess Caroline of Bruns wick. Her Majesty also expresses dissatisfaction at the conduct of the Roman Government; she had always a guard allowed her as Princess of Wales, but that has been refused her since she became Queen, because the British Government has not acknowledged her under that title. Her Majesty expresses a great wish to have Buckingham-house for her palace; she desires that the servants of the late Duke of Kent, or those in the service of his Royal Highness the Prince Leopoll, may be em ployed for her in preference to any others; and her Majesty also desires, in the event of the refusal of Government to find her n palace, that a house may be taken for her near Dover. Her Majesty was to leave Rome on Monday, to proceed fram thence to Pesaro, and from Pesaro to England, without delay. Her Iklajesty may be expected to arrive in a mouth or five weeks. _ Copy of a letter from the Secretary of State's office in Rome, to the Queen of England's Cham. " February the '2lth, Iti2o. " The Cardinal Secretary of State receivtal yesterday evening the request, to cause a guard to be placed at the door of the men tioned palace, and likewise was made known to him that a categorical answer was expected upon this subject. • 6 The observations which the above said Cardinal made yes terday morning, verbally, when you, by orders you had received, called at hi, apartments, not having permitted hint to answer directly to the royal personage who did him the honour to write to him, is under the necessity of requesting you to lay before the same tile following:— •• H H Ili. oliness's government cannot grant the guard to 117 Lady the Countess (Mi. No guard is give to private persons and when evert royal Princea travel incognito, under a ',rival, name, they do hot receive this disincoon. There is actually at Rome an instance of this. The Papal Government did not fail in paying this honour to the Princess of Wales, during her stay in this capital on a former oceaston. The royal person, however, who has now come to Rome, is not announced as the Princess of Wales, but as the Queen of England, and for this the guard is requested. " But as no communication has been made to his Holiness's Government, by the Government of his Majesty the King of England and Ilanover, upon the change that has taken place, nor upon the rank of the said Royal Person, the Papal Govern ment doe, not know that the Queen of England is in Rome, and in consequence cannot giant a guard to the same. " Whenever the Government of his Illness may receive from that of los Maje..ty the King of England and Hanover the usual notification upon the change that has taken place with the Royal F•m on in question, he will consider it an imperious duty to pay to the Queen of England ill the honours due to her. (:ugned) "C. CARDINAL CONSALVI." In an article on the recent alarms, the Edinburtylt llevlew has an article containing useful information respecting the plots, and ably examining the evi dence adduced at the several periods, and it observes, " It' we shall ever live to see the country cured of its truly mortifying, we may say, humiliating, pro pensity to be the easy dupes of such panics, as often us any tottering Government finds its account in raising them, this salutary change can only be wrought by soberly reflecting on the past, recalling to mind the stories told, and examining these at a season when the panic having subsided, re-,son may be allowed to operate, and demonstrate their false. hood; or, at least, by showing that the event has disproved them. Nothing can be further from our intention than to deny that a general discontent has for some years prevailed through the country ; that it has been on the increase of late; that it especially nfeets populous districts, like those w here manufac torers are spread ; that it is ready to be turned by factious and unprincipled demagogues to dangerous purposes; that when distress prevails, it is always most to be dreaded; and that to secure the peace of the State against its effects demands the vigilant care of the Executive Government. Whatever be the more remote origin of this spirit, we conceive the load of taxation under which the community labours, to be the chief proximate cause of its in creased diffusion, to which we may add, the gene rally prevailing distrust of the Government. That the old law of the land was amply sufficient to cope with the disaffected, bad it been administered by steady hands, and accompanied with the spirit of conciliation, we held to be equally manifest; and if the York trials of 1812—those of Derby—that of Cashman, &c. did not establish the sufficiency of the OLD wiry to meet conspirators, rebels, and libellers, will not the recent events at Leicester and at York carry conviction home to the minds of all, even to Ultra Lolialists?—Wbere, therefore, was the neces isity for the nut , laws, and can they, will they con ciliate discontent?" Letteri from Dole state, that a horrible crime, attended with peculiar circumstances, has been com mitted at the village of Ougney. A woman, who was travelling with a considerable sum of money about her, stopped at an inn, and asked to remain there fir the night. The mistress of the inn and her two sons immediately formed a plot to rob and murder her, and fixed upon the middle of the night to execute their crime. Their guest in the mean time became suspicious, either on accotmt of the sum of money which she had, or by being struck with the badness of the physiognomy of her hosts, and could not conceal her apprehensions. In order to encou rage her, the mistress of the house promised to sleep with her, telling her at the same time, that she would sleep inside. Midnight arrived, the two sons entered the room without a light, crept up softly to the bed-side, ascertained with their hands the position of the two women, and plunged a couple of da,ggers into the breast of the nearest of them.— The woman who was inside shrieked out, and the brothers started back with horror, perceiving that they had murdered their mother. It happened that she had fallen asleep, during which, the traveller, at the first noise she heard, sprung from the place she had occupied to the inside of the bed. The cub. prits arc in the hands of justice. FROAI LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE.
