" I hasten to inform you that Prince Metternich and Count Lieven are hourly expected here. They are c for the ostensible purpose of ! sayin g their respects to his MAJESTY oa the part of their respective Sovereigns; but their real object is to discuss the affairs of Turkey with the Marquis of Londonderry, whose recent correspondence has set them in motion.— Those who have had the best op portunities of information were not at all prepared for this event ; nor did his Majesty once contem plate it oil his arrival. as I understand from good authority. This place is expected to be the seat of important oegociations, but they will not have the effect of prolongiug his Majesty's visit, and ar rangements are already made for his departure in the b-gunning of next week. His Majesty is ad vised not to expoie himself in the open air till he is perfectly recovered from an attack which the Me dical Gentlemen think is only of a temporary ns lure." " TUESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 16. " lam happy to inform you that his Majesty is considerably better this morning, and it is hoped that the pain in his knee will be so far abated by to-morrow as to allow hint to appear in public. The Theatre last Mein presented a brilliant assem blage of rank and fashion. Among the illustrious and distinguished personages who attended were, the Dukes of Cambridge and Cumberland, with their Duchesses; the Archduke Ferdinand of Aus tria, the yossug Prince of Nestor, son to the Land grave ; the Princess of Soling, daughter of the Duchess of Cumberland. &c. The Marquis of Loodontlitry and Sir Benjamin Blotuefield sat to gether in the stage box ; the former in full dress, with the Order of the Garter, and the latter wearing a plain blue vett, with a red collar—the undress of Gentle men of his Mirk sty's suite. The play was a humorous burlesque on the rage that prevails in favour of Madame Cutalasii, who is personated ou the stage by a stout lusty fellow, dressed up in female stare. The piece, which is called the False Prima Dogma, owes its title to this disguise. Many of the inci dents were exceedingly laughable, the concert scam iu particular, where Madame Catalani endee- yours to surpass herself in the execution of some of her finest quavers. Her husband, Valtutiragite, is seen tapping the newspaper critic on the shoulder, who stands forth. a half.starved sort of elf, with his eyes raised in ischnisatiass .f the enchanting oven.

At • late hour last night we received the Paris Papers of Sunday last. Their domestic intelligence is of little interet.t. The accounts from Madrid, which are to the gth instant, represent that city in • state of great confusion, produced by the gene ral election then in progress. It rivals the prover. bial turbulence of i Westminster election. The town was placarded, and the parishes were all iu uproar. There is no notice in these Papers of the report that the King of ENGLAND means to visit Paris on his return from Hanover. The following are extracts : PARIS, OCTOBER 2t. The King transacted business yesterday with the Duke de Richelieu, and afterwards drove to Shut Cloud. At five o'clock yesterday morning his Excellency the Cardinal Archbishop of Paris ceased to exist. The body will lie in state for nine cloys. The Five per Cent. Consols are 89 fr. 60 cents. —Bank Actions, 1,590 fr. VIENNA. OCTOBER 9. It is asserted that it is in pursuance of formal demands addressed Ly the Reis-Effendi to our Internuucio at Coninantinople, and transmitted by the latter to our Court, that various measures iu favour of the Turk. have been adopted. These measures are not confined to the prohibition of the exportation of arms, warlike stores, horses, &c. to those Turkish provinces where the Greeks are in arms ; but they extend also to all persons, of any nation whatever, who entertain a design of passing through the Austrian dominions to Greece. It is supposed that those persons intend to enter into the ranks of the Hellenists, and fight against their oppressors. Even travellers, who are strangers to the affair, are included in the measure, and permission will not be granted to embark far those countries where Greek corps are to be found. Persons who wish to go to Moldavia, Wallachia, or Sepia, are treated in the same manner ; they are loM allowed to pass the frontier. The same vigil once is also extended to the Austrian provinces in Italy. It is said that many travellers who had arrived at Trieste and Fiume have been obliged to return, though they were furnished with regular passports. The saute system has been adopted in some other of the Italian States, as also in the Roman doini nions and the kingdom of Naples. Private letters from Leghorn announce, in effect, that permission will not be given to persons to embark who design to go to the Mores, to Etulia, or the islands in the Archipelago. Several young foreigners are now here who were anxious to proceed to Greece by the route of Trieste, but they have not been able to procure pass ports, noo Isom they money enough to carry them home. Some foreign officers who were endeavour ing to raise recruits for Greece, have been conveyed to the frontiers. Notwithstanding the hatti-scheriff of the Grand Signior prohibiting the Turks from committing any species of violence, they continue to carry off every thing they can lay hold of. They pillaged the country-house of • Moldavian boyard very re• cently, and having forced open the doors of a church, took away all the property which had been placed there i n , the boyard for security. It is said they olair;ittacked some convents, and that they murdera the old people and carried off the young. oDESsA. sitt7sllasa 24. Letters from St. Petersburgh repeat the rumour which has been in circulation in that capital, that our Cabinet has declined the proposition of Austria and England relative to a Congress far the purpose of deliberating on the affairs of Turkey. Private accounts from Hanover, given in another part of our Paper, state, that the KING remained confined to his apartment up to the 17th inclusive. but that the 'attack of gout under which he labour ed was a slightone, and his MAJUTT expected to be able to set out on this day on his return to England. Sir ROSIMI WILSoIt has communicated to thg Electors of fittlthwark copies of letters which •MU have recently.hm" between the gallant Knight and Lord SIIIIIOUTII relative to certain charge, which Sir Rouser W mon understands have beet urged against him. These, with a memoranda ruff • conversation between Sir RoasaT WILSON and Sir R. Blanks upon the subject of one of them, will be found in another part of our Paper. We entreat the particular attention of our readers to these letters. They will be found to mark in an emphatic manner the temper and spirit that have been at work in conducting the inquisitorial pro ceedings against Sir RollilitT WILSON. This dim tingoished General has been punished in a manuer the most galling to his feelings and the most hurtful to his interests, as it was further intended to be most ignominious iu the sight of his ;- 5 , • 7^'m" `-'t - tomtit/ eta 'ofEurope; yet to the pheiteat hone not only has no accuser appeared to charge him with any offence, not only has Do crime bees publicly imputed to him, or privately iatieuried, but evert when pursuing the light which common fame has raised, he endeavours to discover saw substantive charge with which he may he abt•i;grapple for the vindication of hit honour, his ardour is checked by • cold reference to official forms, and is finally repelled by an absolute refusal to secede to his re quest. Sir R. WILSON'S first letter to Lord SID MOUTH refers to a statement which recently ap peared in the newspapers, in which Sir R. Btants is represented to have aaaaa ted, at a meeting of the Magistrates for the Kensington division of the county of Middlesex, that information hid beets given to him at Bow -street, upon oath, that a meeting had been held at the house of Mr. YOUDB, in Hammersmith, at which the plan of interruption to the Qussa's fune►al was concerted, and tbut Sir R. WILSON had attended the meeting. Sir ROBERT WILSON imagines, what is believed by most people, that he has been deprived of his rook in the army solely on account of some false charges preferred against him by malicious persons, who have accused him of planning and executing the scheme fur the interruption of the Qu Mei funeral procession. Such charges were for many reasons too likely to receive ready belief from his personal enemies in the Cabinet, but if he could by any means bring the subject into a Court of Justice, he could then easily shew that the allegations were founded in the grossest untruth. Fur this purpose he requested that Lord SI DMOUTH would cause a copy of such information to be deli vered to him, that he might make it the ground of legal proceedings against the perjured informant. But why should Lord SIDMOUTH extend any in dulgence to Sir ROBERT W I LSON ? The request was refused, because forsooth Lord SI DMOUTII was not " the proper channel through which an appli cation fur the production of the information should be made." Lord SIDMOUTH does not condescend to say whether he had ever heard of the statement noticed in Sir ROBERT Witson's letter, nor does he deviate so far from the precision of official dig nity as to avow or disclaim a knowledge of the infor mation which was said in the report of the Clerk to the Magistrates of the Kensington division to have been taken on oath at Bow-street ; but his Lord ship's hint about " the proper channel" for ob taining the paper led Sir R. WiLson to communi. cote personally with Sir R. BIRMIE, and from this Magistrate he learned, 4 , that no information in writing had been taken—that the information was a verbal one, founded upon a report at the Free masons' Tavern, of a meeting having been held at Hammersmith, at which an officer had been pre• sent;" but that upon examination the Magistrates were satisfied that Sit 4oltintx Wkuuti bad never been at the meeting.“ 4 • • • It is impossible not to admire the progress of this precious information, given by some person upon oath, before the Chief Magistrate of t.b Police of the metropolis. There are fellows tuirii had in London, as in any other great tosWObitill swear any thing ; but we did not think that there was a Magistrate to be found in any of our police offices who would listen to evidence of such a character as is here exhibited; still less was it to be imagined that the deficiency with respect to any given pur pose left in the information by the compunctions visiting. of the informer's conscience, and the re. lased credulity of the Magistrate, could be filled op by the imagination or presumptions of other persons higher in authojts. tfurssoMl, to be at tained was, that Sir ROLM *ll 4 / 1 110.1/01 present at some meeting held" some where; for the purpose of arranging the impedimenta which were opposed by the untaught energy of the people to the pre. scribed route of the Queates fuuerul processioo. What is sworn ? That at the Freemasons' Tavern the informant heard it reported (not saying by wbom, or on what occasion), that a meeting had been held at Hammersmith (not saying for what purpose), at which an Officer bad beep present. This double-distilled hearsay is received upon oath by Sir R. BIRNII4 but not is writing, and is ono muuicated to the litwa's Government as infor mation sufficient to justify a measure of State policy, and to be preserved among the archives of the Empire. It arrives iu the Cabinet, cud in stantly whatever was doubtful is made clear, what ever was incomplete is made perfect ; nothing could he more manifest than that the impedimenta were the result of military experience, and of previous arrangement. A meeting was actually held at YOUDIOI, in Hammersmith, and who could doubt that there the plan of tLe ensuing day's operations was devised ? An Officer too was present, and with out caring whether he was distinguished by a painted staff or a sword, who could hesitate that this Officer must be Sir Romer Witsom ? This was the point to be established, and Sir ROBERT WlLsom being that clearly shewu to be guilty, punishment ought to follow as a matter of course. He was, therefore, deprived of the fruits of a thousand herd fought battles, and it was subsequeutly left to Sir It. Manta to ascertain what portion of justice might chance to be found in the proceeding. The inquiry was pursued, when, alas I Sir It. EMIR and his brother filagistratm were all clearly satis fied that no such meeting Maws supposed was held at Mr. Youwes—that' the *feting was for par •. \ • 0%.1\' ~~ ~ ~ ~~., >~~ • ".." • -.. ..\ . • . • —1 :It poses Wally different—loci " that Sir itodervi WILSON had never been in the house." hi the correspondence our readers will And a a second letter from Sir ROBERT WILSON to Lord SI DNOUTH, in which be refers to another charge against him, in reference to his conduct at the QUREN'S funeral, and regain) Lord SIDSIOI3TiI to direct a copy of the deposttcon to be delivered to him, for the purpose of.frreeeeding by low against the informant for perjp . ry. Lord Sinnou'rn, however, says, that 44 r should not think him. self justified in acceding to his request. The I public, we are persuaded, will agree with •us in thinking that Lord SION OUTH is scarcely justified is withholding front Sir ROBERT WILSON the only means he can employ of relieving his character from the charges that have been cast upon it. The Ministers act towards Sir ROBERT WILSON not only cruelly but unjustly. Their adherents argue for them that no legal way was open to them of bringing Sir keiW I LSO li to trial for his supposed offe n ce, and tAit consequently they were under the necessity of proceeding against hint by an arbitrary exercise of the royal prerogative. But now, whets Sir ROBERT WILSON demands an opportunity of meeting whatever charges may have been urged sguin.t him, they not only do not, for the vindica tion of their own proceedings, seize the moms that are in their power of bringing the affair before the public, but they coldly repress his exertions, and endeavour to prevent him from enjoying the benefit of a public investigation of his conduct. We do not mean to deny that the KING possesses, as of his royal prerogative, the dissolute right of removing from his rank in the urtny any officer whatsoever; but the voice of prerogative, in the present advanced state of political science, grates harshly upon the ears of Englishmen, and no wise Miuister would ever have recourse to it without hastening to convince the nstiou that he was . fully justified by circumstances in recurring to an extra. ordinary means of obtaining some object of genera; expediency. Au opportunity is now presented to the Ministers of shewing that Sir Roamer WIL. son deserved to be removed from his rank in the army without the intervention of any inquiry into his conduct. This opportunity they publicly de cline, and it will rest with the public to appreciate their unwillingness to justify a proceeding which is opposed essentially to those °Triunity principles of justice which have been sanctioned by our usages as they ■re consecrated by the principles of our Collet it utter.

The greater part beloog to the order of the Nobility, and about an eighth to the Clergy. The number of works in the Russian language in 1807, was computed at 4,000. The number now is double that. Russian and German Gazelles ere published at St. Petersburgh, Moscow, Riga, Milieu, Revel, Abo, and Cason. There is also a literary Journal published at Moscow in the Ras.. sian, and another at %Vilna in the Polone.e language. Moscow contains nine public libraries and ten printing houses; Petersburgh seven libra ries and fifteen printilig houses. Wilsia. Revel. Dorpat, Charkoff, have also each a library and Iwo or three printiog houses. The number of letter founderies throughout the whole extent of the Ru.sien Empire does not amount to more than eight or nine. _ _ _ _.-.c enviers from Lisbon, by the Lady Arabella packet. to the Bth instant, contain a con tradiction of the assertion of the French Paper., that Mr. W•ttu, the British Minis'er, having re ceived some offence, had quitted the Portuguese capital. It is true that some misunderstanding had arisen, but at the time the packet sailed it was understood that the difference, whatever it might be, had been arranged. Dispatches from Mr. WAggp to Government were conveyed by the Lady A►abella. At Lisbon tranquillity still prevail.. *bough there was an evident unessinros in the public •ind.
