The roads all through the Prussian territory are in a state not to be der scribed ; and, • wherever the traveller has not to en. counter swamps and quagmires, he is sure to lend himself immersed in sand upon some desert heath. The man who had once made the journey front Oberhausen to Dorsten sill he sure to remember it all the days of his life. fli' Majesty, however, ad vances resolutely over tracts where his carriage wheels are up to the sxletree in mud, and he is never heard to complain of fatigue or iecouveni ence. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY uud Sir BENJAMIN BLOSIEFIELD contrive, by...ming at a very early hour, and by additional horses, to keep a day's jouiney in advance of his MAJESTY. le stopping at the little town of Dulmen, to change horses, I found the Duke of Croy (ntie of mediatiztd Princes of the Confederation of the Rhine, under Bonaparte) standing at the door of the Post-house. He immediately entered ioto con venation with an English. gentleman who accom panied Use, and, otter telling him that he had once been an independent Prince, shook his head, and expressed his regret that he had not now the means of giving a suitable reception to our Sovereign, who, as he could learn from the Marquis of London derry, intended to call at his chateau in passing through the town. He then risked what viands his Majesty liked beat, in order that he might provide• him with an agreeable repast. Bat this was too puzzling it question fur my fellow traveller to answer, and he evaded a direct reply by sating that the table of his Croce would doubtless afford his Majesty sit ample variety, from which he might make a selection to his palate. I am still upwards of leo English miles front the Hanoverien capital, mod I understand the roads thither are even worse thou those I have already passed. His Majesty, lam happy to find, will re turn by a leas arduous, or rather less perilous route, though it will comprise a much greater number of German miles. The town whence I date this let ter is finely situated on a plain not far from the Ems, and contains about 15,000 inhabitants. The trade carried on here is very inconsiderable, and I am informed that the place is falling rapidly into decay under the Prussian Government. A peach weighing three quarters of a pound, was pulled this season in the orchard of Mr. Hooka ARCHO!.D, at Magarabee, near Sliwo. A B►ll is intended by Ministers to be brought into Parliament, when it next meets, which►, if it passes into law, will effect a great alteration—in deed, we may say, an entire rtvolntion, in our mi litary system ; but one of such a nature, that none wilt more sincerely approve of it than those who are most appreliettrove of the danger of the military force to our constitutional liberties. The leading object of the measure is, to dispense with regiments of the line altogether in Great Britain, with the exd ception of the household troops. The regular mi litia in Great Britain amount to about bu,ooo. In stead of the regiments being exercised as at present, for twenty-one days at a time, it is proposed that each year 20,000 shall be called out to serve for the whole year, and be then disembodied ; so that each regiment will be on actual service one year in every three. On being disembodied, a certa►n number of the ofT►cers and men of each regiment are to he al lowed to volunteer into the line to fill up such va cancies as may occur; we understand three officers will be allowed to volunteer with every sixty men.— (Evening Paper.) A public dinner was given to Mr. O'Conrin.r., at Newmarket, in the count• of Cork, on the 30th last, as a testimony of respect and gratitude for his exertions to promote unanimity among all classes of his countrymen. Mr. O'CONNELL, on returning thanks, eulogized the conduct of the KING iu his late visit to Ireland, and its happy efficia.— " None," he said, " but those who lived in Ire land could properly edeulate the value and import. ance of such a change ; and surely not to have felt and acknowledged so great a benefit. would *hew an the part of the Irish people a degree of ungrateful insensibility of which they never yet were accused. If it was manly and natural to revolt against in sult and oppression, surely it was but honourable in a nation to mark what wa■ kind, liberal, end gracious, with the purist and warmest expression of public gratitude. The people of Ireland did no more—but the people of Ireland, some how or other, hail excited the displeasure of a part of the English people, and of a part of the English press, for the manner in which they received and treated the KING. Certainly it war not our of 'lie least curious occurreners of modern timer to hear the Irish rebels (as they were fortuerly called) DENOUNCED by the loyal English AT their attentions to the king ! The fate of pout Ireland was madly distre,sing :—w hen her people were driven to arms by the most abomina ble oppression, they were denounced as rebels; and when, by kind treatment. the force of the national character broke ant into the enthusiasm of loyalty, they were denounced as servile and slavish; good or bad, tranquil or tumultuous, loyal or discontent ed, they were destined, it would seem, never to please their charitable friends at the other side of*the water. Hut, seriously speaking, he hoped that a little reflection would serve to convince that " most thinking people," that Ireland, with respect to his MAJESTY, acted the only part she could have acted, or ought to have acted. The English people should recollect the peculiar situation of Ireland ; they should recollect, that, independent of the great poli tical grievances of which they so loudly complain, Ireland has to contend with local and peculiar grievances subversive of her peace, lien morals, and her proaperiiy. They should make allowances for • people Gunman% against adversity, nor treat thew too harshly because they hailed with an intensity a feeling the first boor of 1410011 hr which beamed • upon their drew, and forlorn state." .
