55G • In the reign of James the Second, Sir Daniel Fleming erns elected Momber for Cockermouth, • after ,a keenlj • conteqed dispute which cost him .2 , 20. A like contest there in the year 1769 2 cost each party np4ards of I'solooo. Accounts from Germany intimate that the new Constitu tions which have been framed for different states in that country occasion great struggles. In Wurtemberg, the ('ro" n Pr ince, a young man Of great abilities, has taken part against the king, Win; oppot-is the wishes of his people Kith pilaf perseverance. In Hanover, the nobility insist upon in:triunity front all taxes. At Frankfort, the Senate con.' cealed the privileges allowed . to the people by the Congress. r 1 he noh!emen of Holstein I;ad a 'representative (Count Moltke) at Vienna, wirbout the knowledge of the King. The consequence has been, that his Majesty has been oh rged to accede to their wishes. As for Hamburg!), the tuwn and the neighbouring country ale in a reviving state. 11 the fortifications" he demolished, and no more war taxes levied for some years, its future prosperity is certain. At present the war taxes in that town are so high, that many snerchants talk of settling - its Altona. However, the Ham burgh-srs have much reason to be.satisfied•with the - decistons• olthe • Congress. • • . . Seri ,, us apprehensions are entertained in France of a scarcity of forage, occasioned by the extraordinary consump tion by. the Allied armies. The Royal Agricultural Society l'as, in consequence, been called upon by the Minister of the Interior for their adviec, and they have accordingly r.ade a Report, in which they recommend various substi tutes of quick grosctb, which may be planteskin the interval between this and the next harvest, the produce of which may supply the deficiency in the usual species of food for cattle. LAGO DI Como.—The residence of the Princess of Wales neon the shore of this beautiful lake will render it some what an object of curiosity. It is between the Alps and Ap repines. Comum, or as the Italians call it, Como, from Nvhich the lake takes its name, is a city upon one of its bays, so'cnnsiderable as to have a cathedral of white marble, and a pdpufation of nearly 30,000 souls. Its chief distinction in ancient history, is that of having had Pliny the younger for one of its citizens, and its patron. In his time, it ap. , Mears to have been more populous than now; but modern travellers say, that it contains at present ten churches. MA:2SIIAL BARCLAY DL TOLLY.----A respectable Corres pondent informs us, that the account which has appeared in the papers of the genealogy of Marshal Barclay de Tolly is very erroneous. The Marshal, whom our Correspondent has I I the honour personally to know, is descended from thelamily• of Barclay of Tolly, or Towie, in Aberdeenshire, but is not the representative of that ancient family, as will soon be she's' by a public deed and record. The family of Towle is the original chief of that name. The family of Barclay, of Mattress and title in Kincardineshire, is a branch from that stock. The Rhenish Mercury, the only Journal on the Continent that ventured to discuss freely the political topics of the day, h as , we are told, been suppressed—a striking proof of the re 4 ard entertained by the allied Sovereigns for . the liberty of the pies. At the late Northumberland Assizes, in the cage of Grey r. the D u ke of ICruriliumberland, in which a verdict was Nand for the ilfstice Bailey laid it down, that • the Lord of the Manor belonged to the mines iii the cmpylioid estates in that manor, bnt then that Lord could only work wider ground; lie could not break the surface without the consent of the copyholdvr, lades: lit could prove his right by custom.
