The elevation a' the mounts's, forming the post em the Estrarnadars side above the village, was the next point of defence.

Some of the new institu tions that we are to have approach closely to those of England ; the Diet will be separated into two Chambers, viz. that of the Peers, and that of the Deputies of the Commons. The Go vernment will propose to this last all demands of imposts, erhich will be exclusively 4 iireusped there, &c. We are assured that the Harroverian Govern ment proposes to lay the aftair of the Univerlity of Gottingen before the Germanic Dirt, fur the purpose of producing general regulations on the police of the German Universities, by which dtvi stone taken in one would be binding on all the rest. Nevertheless it is foreseen that such measures would experience great difficulties, and that it would nut be easy to bring about in the Diet a com mon agreement on objects of this nature.

His Majesty then took an airing towards the Worth Boulevards. On his return he stopped at the Palace of the Elysee Bourbon, to seethe Duchess of Berry, whose health is in a most satisfactory state. Lieutenant• General Cannel, M. de t ongis, and M. de Romiliy, have been accused by au Ordi nance of the Tribunal of the Fist Instance, for a conspiracy against the intersal safety of the State. The Royal Court Chamber df Accusation will de cide ultimately upon their , fide. M. the Viscount de Chapdelhiltie and M. de .7.6anne, acquitted by the same Ordinance, have been ►et at liberty. The auditory at the Court of Assize* was yes terday shocked by the kind of defence set' op by • girl accused of forgery in a private transaction. She pretended to he a' creditor of a Mr. I'-- for the sum of 30,000 fr. which had been placed in his hands by her aunt, *hose heir she was, besides 24,000 francs, for interest from fifteen to twenty years. On the faith of this debt to her, she bur visaed sums from several individuals, producing in support of it, forgtd letteis, acknowledging the debt. The Diana corvette, which has railed for Sr. Thomas's, has received orders to cruise in the I iti tudes of our posbessions, to the end of proectilq our commerce against the corsairs of the Spithibit Insurgents. The accused was not in theleast emberritiseil by the objection, that her resit was riot itaciently rich to place a capital of 30,000 francs in Mr. V--'s hands : she asserted that her aunt had , j,ll years ago been the accomPlice or witness of the murder of her maker, and 'had received this saki fur lift share of the plunder. The Court condemned the girl, whose mane is Rarbe Pourekon, to six years close iteprisetinsent to the pillory, and to be branded with the'letter F. Letters from Cadiz of 'the 18th of Setitember leste, that the Spanish 'house Vuida de Ruiz and Terry the younger, has failed for nearly a million of piastres. This house owed but little abroad. Its failure was caused by the expenses it untlftweitt in fitting out six large armed frigates'fur'the Ame rican Spaniards, and in having at present two freighted for Vera Cruz. The Court of Caseation this morning rejected the appeal of the Sieur Causse, who had been con demned by the Court of Assites of the Gard to five years hard lobster, verhicted of beirir.itsoccomplice in carrying off a Gelb of 100 Louis, by • married woman whom he had seduced, and with whom he had gone to Italy. Arrested in !tat •on the demand of the Sieur 41-, they were delive►- e`d tap to the French authorities. The Sieur Caesse alone . was brought to trial, Lecause the husband and wife were reconciled, and the wife herself complained against her paramour. In the cotiese of the trial, M. Z--- perceived on the Prisoner's linger it diamond ring, ■nd re claimed it us the property of his wife. The Court t•mntanded the surre►►der of this new evidence of conviction, mettiithritanding the claims of the Sieur Caveat and his Council, who required at least, by way of compensation, that Madame Z. should frame, upon her part, seven rings, which she had received from her lover. The Court did not con *rive itself rethorised to command this restitution. The Sieur Causse has lodged a complaint o f per• jury against the wife, the husband, and their wit nesses.

But there will be also great facilities and dimitiution of the present duties, introduced fur the lidercourse between Hungary and Transyl vunia and the other provinces.
