REP_"' • . • THE MAW. Extract of a letter f.otn Hanover, Oct. B.—The post for England is just stoic% out, so I can do little more' than inform you, that his Majesty arrived, at three o'cluck, at the palace of Herrenhausen, which is within two miles of this town. His Majesty wag met on the —road by' a treat concourse of persons, including civil and militery officers, farmers, artisans, &c., and they all welcomed their Sovereign in the most cordial man ner. It is understood that his Majesty will see no vi sit Ors to-morrow, as he must find a day's repose neces vary, after having travelled upwards of six hundred miles. On Wednesday his Majesty is to enter the town in state, and splendid preparations are making for the occasion. This town affords but few places of accommodation, and those are now crowded to excess. It was with great difficulty I could obtain a bed-room, and on entering it I was not a little surprised to find an order of the police affixed to the door, directing that the price shall be a Lnnis-d'or (about sixteen shillings) a-night, while the King remains. • extract of a letter from Osnabruck, Oct. s—l have • at length arrived in the kingdom of Hanover, but am • still one hundred miles from the capital. In my pro gress to this town front the Prussian frontier, I wit nessed the strongest manifestations of loyalty anti at tachrnent to his Majesty. A triumphal arch has been erPrted on the spot where the boundary line' is drawn. Stadiar arches are constructed at every village I have clone through.—At 6landorf, the first village I came to after passing the frontier, I found the landlord of the inn, who is also the post-master, brushing a suit of an tiquated unifartn, in which he intended to appear before Iris Alajesty. He said he would present his Royal -Master with wine of a hundred and twenty-five years 01 , 1, poured out in a:old cup, and expressed his earnest hope that his Majesty would condescend 10 accept the li h,t'ion. Before! left M unster, this morning, I discovaed teat the postboys had adesperate contention fur the honor of driving his Majesty's carriage. One of them, who wa:, a fellow of some humour, said that the Koenig rou Prutsexi (the King of Prussia,) when he pissed tarotileh, did not provoke such angry feelings among • them, as they would all have been very well content to let any one who pleased drive his Majesty to the d-1. You will nut be surprised to hear that the King or Prussia is no favourite with the postboys, when 1 cc''i you that by an order lately issued at Berlin, any ore of them who shall be found asleep on his horse, is to he pl .ced on a seat, formed by three pieces of wood, brought to so sharp a point as almost to pierce throng!' the flesh, the unfortunate offender being all t.:e time compressed within a wooden frame, and un . able to relieve himself in any other manner than by tut effort attended with a varied sort of pain. This • putiishment continues for six weeks, during which pe riod the wretched sufferer gets nothing but bread and . water, except on the third day, when he is allowed a little broth to sustain life. As soon as the time elapses, I.e ia obliged to pay a fine of twelve dollars, and is then restored to his former situation, only to undergo more •ag ravated inflictions, should he again unhappily daze while on duty. Front this instance you may form tolerable estimate of the polity that exists in the I;.:ag of Prussia's dominions. SATURDAY MORNING, OCT. 6. lits Majesty i , : expec.cd to snake his entry into this towu at four u'uloc I:, and the inhabitants are going out it, great numbers to meet him. He sleeps this night at his palace here, which has been fitted up iu superb aty le; and should b:s Majesty continue his journey to• naorrow, he will proceed as far as Nieuburg (a town aldiat half way between this and Hanover) and arrive 04 the following day at Herrenhausen, his principal residence. , Deputations from Austria and Prussia are Low at Hanover, waiting to pay their respects to his Lt tjesty, on the part of their respective Sovereigns : and among the ilinstrkus relatives of his Majesty, who Lave preceded his arrival in that town, there are the Duke and Duchess of Cumberland, the Prince and Pi•incess.of Hesse Hombourg, the Princess Augusta, a:ttl the two young Princes of Brunswick. The ae ceturnodatious of the hotels are under the direction of the police, and you may judge of the demand there is far them at this moment, when I tell you that the fixed noz eisartal is about :IL a day for two rooms. lIIELAND. •TRAGES --The outrages for which the County of Limerick has been of late distingnialsed, have recently r.sseh enerest , ed. Within a week the houses of more than a tloz is gentlemen have been attacked by ban ditti for tire arms. A meeting of the County Magis tiates has been held to devise measures for suppressing these outrages, and an order has been sent fur 300 of Visa 40th Regiment, to occupy certain stations in the Comity. These outrages appear to prevail the most ea the estates of Lord Courtessay, and to h ave arisen from disputes between the agents and the te- Lawry of those lands. In consequence of this, tit° or three gentlemen have been deputed by Lord Courte nav's trustees to investigate the conduct of his Lord ship's agent, and from the congratulations they received fro n the tenantry on their arrival at Newcastle, it was hoped they teottitl succeed in tranquilizing the country. On Saturday se'nnigitt two factions met at the races at Newesstle, to settle same of their differences, and they els.sse the use of fire arms for that purpose, in pre ference to the native weapon. Many shuts were in terchanged, and the civil and military authorities in terfered. Their interference was resisted, and the Magistrates and Alilitary were exposed to much dan ger. One of the Dragoons' horses received 4 hall in the belly and died the next day. Three of the rioters were arrested and conveyed to gaol, and informations, which are capital. have been talteit by the Mayor against tbeat. ahe two men who bad been found guilty of manslaughter in the adray at Bandon, on • the 2d of July, when one man was killed, and a woman far advanced in pregnaecy, shot through the heart, in consequence of the parade of the Orangetnen, were on the ath instant, brought to the bar at the Cork Assizes, to receive judgment. After an impressive address from Baron Smith, the prisoners were sett• traced to be burned in tits band, to be imprisoned 12 usout:ss, and to give security to keep the peace for 7 years, esch of themselves in 1001., and two sureties fur each in MIL a piece. Lord Viscount Dual°, son of the Earl of Clancarty, and Lord Jetties Henry Fitzroy, son of the Duke of Grafton, have entered themselves as scholars at the University of Cambridge, the former of St. John's Col lege, and the latter of Trinity College.

This being Settling Day at the Stock Exchange, the principal business among the Brokers is settling their accounts. The different fluctuations during the pre sent Account is as follons :—The Account opened at 7611. In consequence of an idea of a • war between Russia and Turkey, the Funds experienced a depres sion down to 75;. Since tat apprehension subsided, they have, without any re-;:ction, got up gvadually 24 per Cent, at which price the present Account is closed being 751 for Money. Up to the present hour no defrulters have bteu declared. Paris papers have arrived this looming to the 14th inst. containing an article from Odessa very different in its tenor flung do se which have tome under that desctipti , n for a considerable time past. It is said, in what is termed a private Liter, that it is intimated from Petersburg, under date of the 4th inst, " that the Emperor has charged the Count Cape rElstlia to communicate to all the Earopean Powers the eotot.n:s of the last notes exchanged between Russia and the Porte. lie has declared to die Courts of London and Vienna, that he could not view the state of Turkey (which they had painted as entirely tranqaii) as suf. ficently consolidated for him to re-establish his former amicable relations with the Porte. The Emperor fur ther declares, that he has not changed his pacific sen timents manifested at Laybach, and that he has answered in this sense to the notes of the Porto• directed against Baron de Strogotioff, hoping, ai ways that the Sultan would satisfy his just demands. But, at the same time, the Emperor refuses the uu•di ation offered by the Courts of Austria and I.,Thgland, or that of any other Power, upon the same principle which induced him to abandon the re-establist emit of tranquillity in Italy to Austria alone. If fresh persecutions he waged against the Christians, the Em peror will find himself compelled provisionally t., oc cupy Moldavia and Wallachia with his troops.—This anstt•e•r of the Emperor has caused f,•reat satisfaction here ; it flatters the national pride, which was hurt by the idea that the consent of foreign Courts war, necessary for undertaking a war. But there is litt I! , probability of the advance of cur troops, because, since Ibis (ivelaration, fresh negociations have been entered ith the Porte." An article from Petersburg of the 19th Sept., states, that the Emperor would set off on the 22d, from thence to IVitel►sl:, where he would assist at the autumnal maws:tyres of the regiments of the guatds cantoned there. There are advises in the French papers from various quarters, respecting the position and condition of the Greek and Turkish fleets, and the state .f Constantinople; but the news is of no import ' Alice. The capital is said to continue tranquil, hut at Cyprus assassinations prevail so, that the French Consul was uneasy on account of his fate, and Salonica was the theatre of the most revolting atrocities. By accounts from Spain the yellow fever continues its ravages in Barcelona, where from 90 to 159 persons are stated to be its daily victims. On the whole, however, thh cal - mity appears to be somewhat alleviate.l.—lt is pre- tended that the revolutionary faction at lad rid is still very active, but secret, and that at Cadiz a grand blo►v is preparing. For these reports we can perceive no grounds except in the Inner, the arrest of two individuals of the F.in tana Club, and in the latter an address f:•ont some of the inhabitants to the Cortes, in which the King and Prince Carlos arc alluded to in terms of incivility.

The American ship Elenoise is arrived at Liverpool; sailed the 17th, and we are informed that the papers are detained a' Liverpool to be fumigated, and ex pected to-morrow. Extract of a letter from St. Ilartholomews, Ang. 2.—This pl ac e being a ;peat rendezvous for privateers, and a depot for th-ic plunder, several American vessels have been lately sold here to residents of this island, and, of course, incapacitated from holding the papers. Nevertheless these vessels. wear thee flag, and it is pro bable have the papers also, but as the Governor (from motives best known to himself), will not let any one examine the registers, I cahnot speak to this latter circumstance with certainty. A Consul is much want ed to settle disputes, and cause justice to be done to VJ ri..us seamen, who are daily thrown on shore destitute, or deprivet', of at least one half of the allowance which by law they are eotitled to ; for the Governor decides every thing here, and of course, will not displease the prise agents. Indeed the Gover nor's interest, and that of the agents, are so linked together that it is morally impossible to obtain jus tice. In the treaty with Sweden it is clearly stipu lated, that American vessels in this port shall nut be subject to any other or higher charges than Swedes. TES' Now I find that if an Amcriosn should dispose his vessel to a Swede, or any one else in island, he is compelled to pay .a limier tax 5 per cent. to the Colonial Txxisozpz, •r • - The Elections in France are :prOodeding to a clost reports are generally in favour of the Liberals, why great exertions are making by the .Ultras and adherent Bourbons to return their favourites.

Experience is not unfrequently thrown awl upon weak minds. The authors of French thraldt exult in their powers, and every liberal man in El rope agrees that France deserves any degradati which may be inflicted on it. In the interim Ultra French faction have extended their baneful Chien ce to Spain, where the Cortes are about to divide sub-divide the country into departments, and theft do away with that confusion created by a mixture Moorish and European Laws, so unbarmoniousl blended for centuries vst.

FEUDINAND has struck to the order of his superiors, and has become the mouth-piece his subjects, whila he is thus addressed by Genr Rt coo, who distinguished him:elf in effect that glorious change in the Government Spain which is likely in time to raise it to ancient splendour. General Riego, like Sir Robel Wilson, calls upon the Government to shew cause they removed him. He tells the King of the horri , attempt made to dismiss him after relinquishing his to the interests of his country. lie asks not to be stored to power, but to character ; he says, NEITI THEN or now, do I ask your Majesty to rest, me to employment .1) in both my petitions I pro; pr the opening of those mysterious pages hare done so much mischief to the came of Spanish nation. Your Majesty may deprive we any military command at Saragossa, out you arc empowered to order misled men to assassinate me; place themselves in the roads between the Bridge Ebro and the Gulliago.

Public opin, says, " justice should overwhelm those who advise y Majesty to place your country on the borders of a cipice, and espose the lifi• of your Majesty to thc MOM human catastrophe." He adds, ‘• those who know human heart thoroughly, will not doubt fur a mom, the necessity I was under of malting sacrifices to adored country; for her I have exposed my life on mi occasions." He concludes, " Justice, justice dewai the preservation of the Constitutional Throne, let be administered to the Patriot for the happiness of worthy portion of the Spanish Nation, and for the lei add corifusiou perveise egotists." Thus, this hi officer addresses the beloved Feu lot NAND, who dismit him from his command by the influence of the info' Ultras, who endeavour to put 11:11V:1 every Mend to Consti:utional Government; while the sanguinary Ei and Moat 1.1.0, the murderers of the people, are protect Gen.
