40odtsgcript LONDON, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 1. Three o'clock, p. in. An article in the German mail, dated 11-mover, ..-t3a ult., states, that the Prince Regent has, " • 4.vnsequence of the resolutions passed by the German die; on the 20th of September," issued an ordinance, --enforcing an old edict of Geo. I , which was after wards renewed by Geo. 11., subjecting every publi cation throughout the deminiuns of Hanover, and if the publisher be an Hanoverian subject, every work so be published &goad those dominions, to a- preli -winery censorship. -These are further restraints imposed on republications of works printed in other parts of Germany, and on newspapers and periodical journals. 'Thus the years 1705 sind 1731 are hearched for as precedents, applicable to the state of letters aad of liberty in the presentage.—Some per .sons deride the idea of our having a Constitution in .Englund; if we had not, what would prevent similar froclaniatiens here at this moment.

According to the 'Gazette of Munich, the King of Bavaria. has, by an ordinance, enjoin•:d his. subjects so to act towards the commission at Mentz, as not to lose sight of the a wereignty which belongs. to . .his Majesty : the plain meaning of which appears to ke, that the Bavarian people are not to take notice of, or obey in any instance, the authority of the said . tribunal. The outrages against the Jews have extended themselves to Dantzie, where the garrison was compelled to remain during three whole days under Arms. he accounts frum Cadiz .ire very afflicting. The liotving is the last bulletin published there : On the Ath of Octobor the sick were 9.132 Deaths GO 44h 7th A letter from Cadiz mentions the following cir cumstance The dead-cart, which every evening conveys to the graves the victims of the malady, met its way a porter, stretched at length, and seem ingly dead, at the extremity of a street. No doubt was entertained that this was a vomit° negro, and he was thrown into the cart among the dead 'Julies. In .the mean time the fellow was only drunk, and the motion of the cart restoring his senses at the very moment when it arrived at its destination, terrified at the horrible company in which he finind himself, lie threw•biluself out of the cart, and ran away with the utmost speed. 5 4 everal days have since elapsed, and no change has taken place in the porter's health. It is therefore concluded, that ening liquors are a preventive against the yellow fever. A physi ian propose s to publish a dissertation .ou this subject, which will shortly appear." Among the new measures called for by the pre. seat crisis on the meeting of Parliament, we under- Ft.m3 Ministers mean to impose a stamp duty upon. t:ic cheap miner publications. They have long complained of them as the ativocat<ts of infidelity, treason, and setlition, the public may therefore k, why their earcolation has been so long encou raged by a dispensation in their favour from the tax i.Aposed upon the higher orders of the public press?
