FRANKFORT, APRIL 15.—An order, emanating front the cabinet of Berlin, decides that the French law, are no longer to be applied in clues of high treason in the Grand Duchy of the Lower Rhine. It is alarmed that the Empetor of Russia, who, as we be;nre mentioned, has expressed to the Grand Duke of Hesse his satist:iction with the represent ative constitution which is now established in his dominions, has likewise approved of the new constitu • firm which the Dole of Oldenturgh has hal draWn up for his dominions. His Serene Highness had consulted his Imperial itlajesty on the basis of the Constitution. To rive an idea of the manner in which the pre nt political situation of Europe, and Germany in particular, is considered in our diplomatic body, we quote the copy of a report sent within these few days by a legation to its Arum It is as flatcars:— S;nce the Neatkilitans had shown a cowardice sur passing every thing that their advers.irics ( 1 / I \ll to hope, thitqo have taken a very remarkable turn.— The monarchical principle has olitaiued a victory so &eisivc that the events in Piedmont have. lost all their importance, anti the fate of Italy is considered to be decided ; that the liberals of every descr;ption nuversally disappear; that people cease to talk of constitutions; finally, that the only fear now re maining is, that the wait' advantages that have been gained, almost without striking a blJw, may not be wisely turned to an account. The moment is came what it is po,sible to give with u gtxkl grace, and without being constrained to it, those iustitu• lions which the voice of the age demands, and' which may be granted without injutitig the royal power, as the example of Wortemberg and Batavia prove.

Extract of a letter from a young gentleman, a midshipman in his Majesty's ship Tees, to his father at Ilorrowstonness, Scotland, d..ted Port Louis, Isla of France, Nov, 5, 1820:—" I was recently ordered into au open boat belonging to the Hew-kite, tender to the Tees, which was cruising round the island to prevent the trek in slaves with Madagascar. The boat was commanded by the waster, Mr. Gordon; and we hail been three weeks in her, when on the 28th (Molter, un unfortunate end was put to our cruise. The II euridla heaving in sight, Mr. Gor illa wished to see oficer cononaudin. , her, when it coming to blow harts, and quite dark, our boat shipped at sea, and down she went. l could swim a Intl., st id.with great ditliculty reached the reef. I immediately went to the barracks, mid sent off a boat to save, if possible toy tintimtunate companions —but the night being dark, nothings could be seen of them. Next cunn ing I went of myself, and rowed about to sec it' could get the bodies of our muster and the men, when ut a little distance I . per. ecived a number of large sharks with something they had gut; on nearing them, I perceived they were eating poor Mr. Gordon ; I tired at one who had him, which let go its hold, and I assisted one of the men in getting the remains into the beat, when an immense large :.hark came from under the h.mt, and seized the remains front us. It sprang so high out of the water, that we saw almost its whole body. Mr. Gordon is must steeply lamented by all in the Tees, and Las left a wife and three children to be wail their irreparable loss." Morris, the leading evidence against Messrs. Hunt, Johnson, eke. at York, for being present at the Man chester meeting on 'Cie aith of August, 1819, pleaded guilty at the Lailea.•tcr Lasizes to the minor offence of having forged hank notes in his possession.
