CASSEL, SEPTEMBER 12. It does not seem that our form of government well undergo the changis that were expected.— Several innovation% in the mode of arlininntratiou have, it is true, been introduced, lint there is no more said of giving us a representative constitu tion. Orr Prince is said to have dectored his sen• tirnents on thio subject, adding, he knew how to Drake his people happy in another manner.

The latter are well paid, and the number of places increased ; it is therefore natural that these persons cannot suffi ciently praise the new order of things; of all classes, the Nobility, whose privileges the lair Elector so anxiously preserved, have the least favour to boast of. The present Government seems to inteud to place the Nobility on a level with the other classes of the community.—(liamburgh Pa• per:, September 18.) GERMAN PAPERS. ♦IENNA, SEPTEMBER I I. We have received the following statement from Leghorn, dated September 3 : We now know the cause of the long delay of news from Egypt. The Viceroy of that country, Maltomet Ali Pacha, laid en embargo on the 13th of June on all vessel•, without nay difference of nations, which embargo was not taken off again till the 14th July. The Paella employed this time in the equipment of a frigate, three brigs. and several other armed vessels, sixteen in number, which were to take on board 1,500 troops. The command was given to the well-known lamed Gib raltar—(see Atistriats Observer of the bat instant). Captain Sirovititch, who commands an Aus'rian vessel, just arrived at Leghorn, states that on the 14th July, he met the Turkish fleet, consisting of four ships of the line, seven frigates, and 13 Ligs. On the lhilt it threatened Scala Nova with a landing ; it afterwards proceeded towards Samoa. The same Captain met on the 9.2.1 July three Greek squadrons, consisting of seventy, thirty, and twenty vessels of a small size, and which had twelve fire-ships with them. These squadrons took their course towards the channel of Scio. These are the latest accounts of the two fleets ; they again contradict the generally spread report of a great naval battle on the Ilith July; hut by uo means do away the possibility of several Turkish iramports having fallen into the hands of the Greeks.".—(Conipare Austriva Observer, Septem ber 5.) MOLDAVIA AND WALLACHIA. p .. Our latest accounts front the (rootless of Walla chia come down to tl,r 29th of August. At Bucharest, according to letters of the 24th, tranquillity was restored. The defence of the Ar. emits was uncommonly brave, the number of the Tiriknit, soldiers killed is slated to have amounted above a thousand. Of the Arnauts, at the most erOwysone, who at the beginning of the attack made them, found means to conceal themselves in sus other dress, and thus io escape death. The num h-r of the houses burned amounts to nineteen. Besides Turkish troops and Arnauts nobody o,i the frontiers the repose of a desert prevails, wh!cl, gtt ally impedes the course of the correspon dence w i th Bucharest. The scattered binds of in. surgents still wandering here mid there have partly lelt.the TurlOsli territory. and have partly retired to the frontiers towards Moldavia. - Since the Otto man troops base been called to Blichnrest, these too hive disappeared from the AuCtrian frontiers.

Lieut.-Colonel Garret's Isle of T:lanet troop of yeomen cavalry is or dered to assemble a few miles from this place to join the lancers in the honour of escorting his Majesty into Ramsgate.

The town will be brilliantly illu minated at night. A grand dress ball is also an= tiounced for the evening (%londaj) at the Assembly Rooms, the Albion Hotel, at which house a nun). berof beds are ordered for his Majesty's suite. His Majesty. it is expected, will embark on Tuesday for the Netherlands, but whether he will land first at Ostend or Antwerp, or some intermediate place, will most probably depend upon circumstances. The Earl or Liverpool passed through Canter bury un Saturday morning, on his way to Wishner Cosily. near Deal. lii.

Extract from a private letter, dated " CALAti. SEPTEMBER 23. " Till yesterday it war expected by the towns people, as well u by the local authorities, that his Majesty could embark at Dover and laud here. The amplest nrrangements were made to receive the Sovereign of England with all due honours; but ow Saturday intelligence arrived from Paris, that it was likely his Majesty would land at Boulogne. This created the greatest disappointment. The various individuals who clime from Paris to be pre sent at the lauding, yesterday left here for Bou logne. " On Friday evening, and on Saturday morn ing, near two th, , tissud troops, in addition to those already in the town, arrived at Boulogne: there were also forwarded upwards of 20 post-horses; and orders were sent from the Prefecture of Paris that all the authorities, dawn to the post-boys, should hold thetwelves iu readinos to attend the _ At a quarter to one o'clock yesterday the Klima, accompanied by the Marquis of CONYNOIIAM and Sir BENJAMIN BLOWZY'S:LE, left town iu his tra velling carriage and four, with two outriders, escorted by a party of the 14th dragoons, for Rams gate, where he is expected to embark this day for the Continent. The precise time of his em barkation will, however, depend on the arrival of the royal squadron, which lay becalmed on Sunday off Newhaven. It would, however, probably reach the Downs yesterday. Our Ramsgate letter states that his Maxesrx will land ■t some port in the Netherlands. The French Government, however, appear to have received an intimation that his MAJESTY will land at Calais, and we also learn that the Hero and remit, steam-boats, have been engaged to attend the royal squadron to that port.— The KING'S visit is the general subject of convert's. tion ut Gottingen, Hanover, and every other place which he is expected to honour with his prerence. The Ilanoverians appear to vie with his Irish sub jects in the warmth of their feelings and the splen dour of the preparations making for his reception. We gave yesterday the letter fiom the Grand Vizier to Count NESSULRODE, on the buhject of the departure of Baron STROGONOFF from Con s'autinople. Our Paper of this day contains the first part of the answer of the Porte to the note ej Baron SznocoNoFT, of the 6:h of July, relative to the measures pursued against the Greeks. In this answer the Porte asserts that all the individuals punished in consequence of the insurrection, and among them the Greek Patriarch and other pre lates, deserved their fate—that the insults offered to some of the Greek churches were only the wicked at. tempts of the relate of the people—that the Tut kish eucumpments and armaments were only intended for maintaining internal tranquillity, and did nut affrct friendly Powers—and that the instructions sent to the troops in Moldavia and Wallschia, were exclusively for the purpose of reducing the insur gents to subjection, which object being accomplish. ell, it was the intention of the Porte to restore every thing in those provinces to their former foot iug. There is no intention avowed, no principle professed in this answer which could afford just cause of complaint to any foreign Power. The insults offered to the Greek clergy ore disavowed by tine Government, and represented as the acts of an infuriated mob, awl cannot he visited as crimes upon the Government, which neither incited nor abetted them. This view of the immediate point, in discussion at the departure of the Russian Ain. bassador, and the pacific tone of the Ottoman Porte, must materially reduce the apprehensions of a rupture between these two Powers. The spirit and language of the Ottoman Porte are of the most conciliatory character; and we cannot sup pose that Russia, however desirous to prevent the repetition of similar abuser, will make pretensions and insist upon terms with which uo independent r • w ~ •••ft the Moja Bey and the Biome to t=art the utmost Log on his !aiding.

Sir Wittiest Curtis lately made an offer of his seat, Cliff House, situate op posite this harbour, for his Majesty's residence, should he prefer embarking at lisinsgate. The offer was most graciously accepted, and great preparations have been making for some days past in expectation of the royal visit. It was not, however, known for certain until last night that the worthy Alderman would have that honour. This morning brought an account that his Majesty will honour him with his company at dinner to-morrow. and that he may be expected between six and 'even o'clock at Cliff /louse. His Majesty has also directed an elegant dinner to be provided fur his suite at the Pier. house, where, no doubt, they will be sumptuously entertained. FRANKFORT, SEPTEMBES 11. The Landg►eve of Hesse is negociating here • loan of 40,000 florins, which are intended to defray the expenses of the honour of receiving ■ visit from the King of England. THE BRITISH PRESS. LONDON, TUESDAY. Sarrsmasa es, Ism • _ s r P- ...., . 1 nation can be expected Is comply, and the world would regard as only a pretence for hostilities. The following is given in a Paper of yesterday as • more correct statement of the case of Sir liosarr WILSON than soy that has yet appeared—" We un derstood that Sir ROBERT WILSON rode up to Captain OASES at Cumberland-gate, and entreated him to prevent the Guards from firiog un the people; that Captain OASES did out know Sir ROBERT WILSON, but desired him to go about his business—he knew his duty, and would performs it; and the men also knew theirs;—and that this was literally all that passed. There was nothing per sonal, and no reference was made by Captain OASES to the other officers of his regiment, as to a challenge. Captain OAKES was sent for by Sir HERBERT TAYLOR, who told him that it was Sir ROBERT WILSON who had spoken to him while on duty, and desired him, by command of the Duke of You, to write down en accurate account of the words spoken, which he did. Sir Deem= then wrote to the commanding officer of the regi ment, de ' g him to make inquiries among the privates whether Sir ROBERT WiLsos had spoken to any of them. This was dose, and a Report made which was submitted to the Knee, and without any inquiry in the presence of Sir ROBERT Wltsoa, he was dismissed the service !" According to this verieon Sir ROBERT WILsoN pears to ha►e been the aggrieved party. But, how ever that may be, from ►he various versions of this affair which hare appeared, and the consequent tin ! certainty of its real merits, the propriety, if not the . necessity of a formal inquiry becomes every day more apparent. The right of the Crown to exer cise its power in the way in which it has been visit ed upon that gallant officer, we do not quition ; but, the right being admitted, sorely it must prove a satisfaction to those who wield it to be well *s allied that it his not been exercised with greater se entity than the offence deserves. We can conceive noose in which this course could be more neces sary than the present. Of the precise words ad dressed to Captain OAKES or the soldiers under his command, nothing appears to he 'mown with certainty ; and so much depends upon look, manlier, emphasis, and gesture, we cannot be sure that correct estimate has been formed, and that no mis conception respecting their meaning, or any miscon struction of their import has taken place, where all opportunity of defence or explanation his been de nied to the party. This will be sufficiently illus trated by a reference to Mr. Sheriff iVarrumsN's case. That Gentleman feeling himself aggrieved, made his complaint to Lord BATHURST, who, in his answer, says, " I had before the receipt of your letter given directions fur an inquiry to be made into the circumstances of this transaction, in coil. sequence of representations made to me which I am bound to say differ in many essential pa►- tieulars from the statement which I have received from you." Now the same party spirit, the same publicsl feelings, the same irritation which dictated the report of the Sheriff's conduct•made to Earl BATHURST, must have influenced the repre sentation made of Sir RoneaT WILSON'S beha viour. If an inquiry has been thought neces sary to elicit the truth from conflicting uecounts in the one case, how can it he consistently refu.ed in the other ? It will not be said that Government, if it had the power, would have dismissed the She riff from his office in a summary way. The insti tution of an inquiry is an admission that his state ment may prove correct, and his complaint well founded. Should this prove the result of the in quiu,, then the representations made against him are wrong ; and if so, how, without inquiry, can the representations on which Sir R. I .VILSON has been punished be pronounced correct ? Letters from Odessa, dated August 28, state, that up to that date there had been no movement in the Russian army; and as Odessa is so immedi ately in the vicinity of the spot where hostilities were expected to take place, we may conclude the reports in the French Papers are mere fabrications. The letter,, as usual, express the• general opinion that there will he uo war. There ano mention of the expected visit of the Emperor A LLIANDSII to Odessa, mad Winch an event had been in agitation, it would, no doubt, have been known at Odessa before the gBth August.

Tie pit and galleons were crowded—the bomes filled to overflow before the middle of the pday. TAe house has been newly painted and decorated, the previous style of embellishment having been adopted in every particular. The curtain di*u up, the vocal corps essayed to sing " God save the Xing ; " but from the confusion incident to so crowded ■ state of the house, it was perfectly heard. The noise did not subside till the first act of she play was considerably advaoced. Mr. Youxo's appearance was watched with great anxiety—he had scarcely made his entry at the back of the scene, when the pit, ea masse, toge. tiler with a great portion of the audience in other parts, rose and saluted bins with deafeniog shouts, clap ping of hands, and waving of hats, which confirmed for come minute., during which he made repeated attempts to commence his part, bat was again sod again compelled to bow in acknowledgment fir the protracted plaudits. There were, besides these outward and very palpable signs of femur, others of a more delicate tone of compliment, which were no doubt more valued by him. There was us in telligent earnestness to come at his performance. and considerable impatience was ehewn by the pit, because the disturbance of the galleries sus pended fur a long time the opportunity of listen- Mg to him with success. At length, that is to say, after the first soliloquy was pronounced, the angry gods were appeased, and the magic of his elocution breathed permanent stillness over the house. Those who have seen him be fore can derive no novelty from any information as to his performance la•t night. His firm and well.knit figure, with its strong sod gracefully curved outlines--his well-defined lineaments of face —the intelligent and musical play of his voice through ass extensive compass of rich acid timely inusie-- the noble suavity of his deportment—his scholarly reliiienoent and perspicacity, were all displayed with on effect as full and complete as ever attended his performance ; he may have added a tincture of grief to some of the more pathetic portions of the play, but its other respects he adheres closely to his former conception of it. There was, ie. deed, a fresline.s in the effect of lest night. It was felt and acknowledged as something new, to hear the rich and glowing numbers mud imagery poured along by a voice of unlimited power informed with the finest preceptioos of intellect, and making vital those poetic oracles of pas. 'pion and feeling which are ascribed to the hero. It were endless work to *hew all the marked pas sages, or any proportion of them.
