It is af f irmed that the works carrying on for strengthening the Prussian frontiers on the Rhine, have been suddenly and unexpectedly suspended, and above 12,000 workmen been discharged on Monday. This news has been sent to several Courts by expresses from Frankfort. VIENNA, JULY 2. The indisposition of her Imperial - Highness the Archduchess Caroline, on her journey in Italy, was not or much importance. and is now quite over. That she now comes to Vienna. is not on account of illness, but because it ,was cesolved at the be -333 I 3 ig of the journey that she should tint accom pany the Court to Milan, but return to Vienna by the. shortest way. •• Part of the attendants who were left here are already gone to meet her.— Nuremberg Correspondent, My 7.) MAUCH, JULY 2. , The proposal of the Chamber of Deputies to in troduce into the administration or Justice the pub licity of the judicial proceedings, has been adopted by the Chamber of the Counsellors of the king dom. NUREMBERG, JULY 5. On the 3(1 in the evening his Royal Hignesss the Crown Prince of Prussia arrived here, ler the name of Count It heazollern, and having viewed the curiosities of the city. set out yesterday noon for Wartzburg. BERLIN, JUNE 26. The masters of the 200 vessels who had been waiting for several weeks at the Zerpen Sluice for higher water to continue their voyage, have sod denly, like Alexander. cut the Gordian knot—that is to say, 103 masters arid sailors took pickaxes and spades, left their barges in the night, and pro ceeded to dam a dyke of the great lake hard by.— They all set to work, and before morning dawned the dam was cot through ; but the miller, who had previously offered to do this himself for an indem nity of 1,000 dollars, is at once stopped in his bu siness, having no water to turn his mill. Since that time, the great barges which were stationary there have passed through the channel. 40 at a time, and have partly arrived here. We need scarcely add, that this arbitrary act of the ships' masters will lead to a law-snit. and it is easy to fgresee'wtio will lose it.—( Nuremberg Correspolt cEit, J«ly li.) _ _ - STUTGAIRD, JULY 5. It is not difficult to foresee the physiognomy of the future Assembly of the States of Wirtemberg, from the elections that have already been made. A distinction must be made between the old and the new provinces of the kingdom. In the old pro vinces the choice of the people falls chiefly on those deputies who, during the lust Diet, were of the Opposition party, the others have been almost all chosen among the zealous patriots, who have de clared rat. the same system. Our city has given the example, by rejecting its late representative, who is reproached with not having defended the rights of the people. and by choosing the leader of the Op position in the last Diet, Vice-President Weisharr. la hose excellent qualities, talents, and patriotism, areJecognised by all parties. The hailliages have voted in the same spirit as tlie capital. They have rejected with a kind of affectation the candidates who distinguished them selves in the late Dirt by their connexions with the blissistry, or who are supposed to have some rela tions with persons in authority. In the ancient provinces they will absolutely have none but' inch.- !student members. In seems that the Ministry are riot isstisfled with the result of these electionr, same of which in particular appear to give them great offence. It is remarked that none of the agents of the inediatised Princes and Courts have yet been elected for the nest Diet, though there were severel ir the last. , One of the officers employed on the patrimonial estates of Count Steruberg at Weisman. having ob tained snany votes in the Electoral Assembly at the deputation of the Commune at Itaivenshurg protested, on the ground is that the • bailliege of Riavviisburg ought to have a represents. tlve, and that Court Sternberg ought not to have one, he being himself by right a Member of the Diet.". FRANKFORT, JUNE 30. In the 23d sitting of the Diet, the Minister of the Grand Duchy of Hesse is stated to have deli vered a declaration relative to the last resolution of We Diet, respecting the execution of the 13th Article of the Act of Confederation. The Govern ment of the Grand Duchy complains that the Committee has mentioned it among those who have not yet fuifilled that Article. Hesse, it' says, has given to the mediatised Princes and Nobles, ever • since 1809, all the rights which the Act of Confe deration subsequently required for them. The wishes which they had since expressed, were under discussion between thew and the Commissioners of the Government. • AUGSBURG. JULY 4. A tine comet, with a very long tail, was seen here last night. M. Stuck had discovered it on the Roth of Juno, but it had been since concealed by the cloudy weather. The nucleus was very bright, the length of the tail 7 deg. 48 min. and its breadth shoves deg. at forty-two minutes past eleven the rail was in a verticle direction upwards towards the Polar Star. The comet did not set, but up priiiirlied the horizon within 4 deg. in• passing tarutigh the northern meridian. From a quarter past Eito half past two o'clock the brilliancy of the ens, surd the size of the tail visibly increased ; . withstanding the twilight, it was observed at three in tile • sorning.—(Allgessehee Zeitiutg, .Ivly 5.)

There is something either very suspicious or very insulting in the anxious solicitude expressed by the Ministerial Papers, that in the trial of Sir CHARLES WOLSELEY and JOSEPH HaanisoN, the Jury to which their case may be referred will do its duty to the KING and country. Do they apprehend that proceedings by law against any of those who may have distinguished themselves by opposition to the measures of the present Ministers, rest upon a footing so insecure that success cannot be antici pated—or do they mean to insinuate that the moral character of this country it so degraded, that a Juror's oath is no longer to be regarded with confi dence, as affording protection to the lives, fortunes, and characters of the people ? They cannot le friends to our social system who would endeavour to fling discredit upon the principle that gives it con. sisteucy. When the Ministerial Papers, however,' speak of Juries " doing their duty," they mu.t not be understood in the ordinary acceptation of these words to mean that the Juries should honestly and justly determine the merits of the case, and decide between party and party without favour or affection. In the vocabulary of these independent friends to the purity of justice, the " duty" of • Jury implies • perfect confidence in the statement of an ATTORNEY-GENERAL, sod in the evidence given by the witnesses ad. doted for the Crown, and that they should find on their oaths that words are sedition., and delivered with the worst intent, provided it be so set forth with due legal form in an indictment. The history of the few last years has, however, proved that Juries may be found to entertain truer and more exalted notions respecting their duties, and possibly the 'Slimly remembrance of some events that evinced this independent spirit on the part of the people, might hart suggested those anxious hopes that have been so feeliugly expressed in the present instance by the Ministerial writer.. •It would sus doubt be much more satisfactory. if • Ministers were not tompelled to undergo thicorderl. but were perlaitsidlo arrest, and lead -with trims, `_%l every individual whose conduct might mart a spirit too free, or who may render himself displeasing to those in authority. Paris-Papers of Tuesday have arrived, from which we have made the following extracts:— PARK/, JULY 13. Yesterday the King took an siring in the little park of St. Cloud, from eight o'clock in the morn ing until ten. His Majesty continues to enjoy the best Wealth. 'The operations relative to the drawing of recruits of the class of 1818, were terminated in the depart ment of the Upper Garonne an the 2d of this month. They have every where been performed with as much order as tranquillity. A letter from Orbec, in the department of Cal vados. says—'• On the tith of this month, the town and valley of Orbec were made the victims of a storm, which occasioned the greatest disasters. A continued rain at the cominericement caused the river to overflow its banks; a frightful torrent soon overturned 300 feet of a wall, tore up the street, which had been newly paved, undermined the foun dations of an inn, and overthrew an adjacent house. The river then directed its course to the valley, where it destroyed every hope of harvest. A n,il lion and a half of kilogrammes of corn have been overwhelmed. The loss to the farmers is estimated at nearly 500,000 francs; that of the inhabitants of the town is also considerable." Th. Princess Bernard of Saxe Weimar was deli remit of a Princess on the 24th of last month. The. Chamber of Peers assembled yesterday. A Special Committee was appointed to make a report on the Budget of the Revenue fur 1819. The Chamber beard the project of law relative to the importation of corn, the law relative to the ex change of certain properly of the Crown for cer tain property belonging to the Duke of Orleans, and also the law relative to exchanges of pro perty between the Crown and private persons.— These projects were ordered to be printed, and transmitted to the bureaux.

Flamburgh and Dutch Mails have arrival, with Papers to the 14th instant. Several parts of the Continent have been iecently visited by dreadful storms : in some instances they have beet► attended with loss of lives. Yesterday was settling day at the Stock Ex change, but we have not heard that there were any defaulters to any considerable amount. The Duke and Deichers of CLARENCE left Mei ningen on the 15th ult., and are now established at the baths of Liebenstein„ where it is said her Royal Highness will remain to enjoy the tepid bath for a mouth or two. The milieral waters of Liebenstein are particularly recommended in nervous and hypo chondriac complaints, and generally in all cases of debility. Letters from Amsterdam mention • report pre valent there of the plague having broken out at Mogadore. Letters from Cape Henry (St. Domingo). dated May IS, notice the arrival there of Sir HOME POP HAM, with the Inhigenia frigate and tbe Bearer brig. The Admiral Was received by hjoir sable Ma jesty, CHRISTOPHE. with every mark 'of ceremony and respect. Preparations were making for n series of entertainments to be given to Sir HOllll POPH A m mod his officers, and nearly all other business was suspended. The merchants of the City, connected with the Spanish trade, hate been thrown into great alarm. it is stated that an order had been received from Madrid it few weeks ago, for immediate returns of all British mnnufactured cotton goods in the differ ent towns of Spain (which had been allowed for sale since the prohibition, on the English merchants paying • large sum of money to the Spanish Govern. eviern). On these rettiroa reaching the capital, au official decree was published, compelling the English merchants to pay immediately the whole amount of the valued stock in haat is cash to the officers of Government, and • further fine of 40 per cent. on that amount; intimating that otherwise their pro perty of every description would he confiscated. The number of informations filed in the Court of Exchequer for the recovery of penalties under the Customs end Excise Laws, from Ist January, kBlB, to Ist January. 1819, was 761, as appears from the retu►n made to the order of the House of Commons on this subject.

For some time past the corn trade with Odessa has declined also in Russian Poland. In Poland there are the fairest prospects of a productive harvest. Olt the 12th inst. there was a dreadful storm at Cracow, with torrents of rain, which lasted above an (tour. The whole city was under water, and the streets looked like rapid rivers. In and near the city, several persons were struck by light ...g—in the neighbouring country the torrents carried away several mills and wooden bridges, and damaged many others. • DtTMOt.D, JULY 3. This principality has now only obtained a repre sentative Constitution. Her Highness the Prioress Pauline published an Ordinance to that effect on the 27th of June, which excited ;central joy among the inhabitants, who expressed their gratitude by illuminating their houses, &e. According to the new Constitution, the Assemblies of Deputies of the Knights and Cities are abolished, and in their stead a general represen tation of all the classes of inhabitants introduced. The representation is founded on landed properly, and is formed of the three classes of landholders ; each class chooses seven Deputies, who form the Dirt, which is summoned by the Government. No new tax of any kind whatever can he imposed, no Irian negotiated upon the credit of the public treasury, without the previous delibera tion stud express consent of the States, who have also the right of proposing. pointing out, and remonstrating, in matters relative to the pros perity of the country, improvements in the Legis lation, abuses in the Administration. and transgres sions of persons in the service of the State. The elections, when made, require the approbation of the Prince. An elector must postess landed pro perty to the value of 1,000 rix dollars, and a de puty landed property of the value of 3.000 rix dol lars.

RIOT AT LIVERPOOL. lExtract from • private letter, containing an count of the riot at Liverpool on Monday " Monday last being the atioiversary of the lA , . sage of thr Boyne by King William, the nsembeis of I Orange Societies in Ow. town determintil to celebrate the slay by partaking of dionei,o their respective club-rooms. In the morning th. e assembled accordingly, dressed for the occasion. The procession, attended by a band of music, and accompanied by banners, flags, pageants, and 4 great number of emblematical symbols, priiceetbd to St. Peter's Church, where we understand a sermon, suited to the occasion, was preached. After divine service, the procession formed again in Church-street; sod, accompanied by a concourse of people, marched up Lord-street, through Castle street, round time Town-hall, soil down Dale-streti. The crowd at the bottom of il ..le: latter street, wo very great, among which were observed a gat! number of the lower order of It i.hmru. As soon as the head of the procession reached the end of the street, a notorious character was heard to cry aloud, Now, my boys, it is time to begin !' In a (mimetic the procession was assailed by a shower of hocks and other missiles, with which that part of the street abounded, and for which it oas evalently selected 41 the hest spot for cominesiciog the attack. The leaik of the mob then followed by a numerous limn:, rushed among the members of the society, twig aloud to his companions, • Now, my lads, we'll have more blood for supper !' and knocked down and then trampled on any alto opposed them. They attacked the standard-bearers, tore the colours to rags, and broke the staves. The fragments they used as weipons, with which they felled such of the members of the procession as unfortunately came in their way. The paraphernalia, mentioned above, were either totally demolished, or much injured. The procession was broke at the fist assault ; sad most of the persons who composed it ran into shops, or made their retreat from the attack the best way they could. Happily Ito lives fell a sacrifice to the savage fury of the snob. Mau) , of the Orangemen were, however, seriously wounded, bac. lug been knocked down, and then trampled upon by their brutal assailants. Others, in endeavouring to save the emblematical symbols of the society from destruction, were frightfully bruised about the face and head. Several of the men who had been active in the riot were secured on the spot, and car ried to Bridewell, and inure were apprehended hy the Police in the course of the afternoon. The Mayor, with his usual promptitude, took the pri caution of having the military in readiness to act, to the event of an attempt being made to renew the riot by the men who had eluded the hand of justice. " The tows,, during the whole afternoon, was in a state of agitation. Bridewell was surrounded by people; and Lord-street, Church -street, White chapel, Dale -street, were crowded till a late hour ; but not the least disposition to riot was any whets manifested. The current of public opinion, in deed, ran strongly in the opposite direction ; for, a singularity in this riot, and which was not unnoticed by persons who had had the greatest experience of the favourable feeling which the people generally bear towards men who are apprehended for rioting, the officers of police were cheered as they conveyed the prisoners to Bridewell. " Yesterday the Prisoners, eight in number, all Irish labourers, were brought up for examination before the Mayor. The informations of the wit nesses against them were read over, and their per 11011S sworn to, at. liac.og been very active in the riot. Their defence was such as might have been anticipated. Most of them had never been near the scene of the disturbance! whilst others ad mitted that they had been among the croad, but denied having taken any part in the riot ! Ooe of them, whet a witness swore to having seen him particularly forward in the attack, looked at hum with a menacing countenance, and said, • You lied better mind what you are toying, for you don't know what you'll bring on you for it.' Ihey were all remanded till the lives of the men who were wounded in the affray are declarer' out of danger. " At the same time, • man was brought tit'. charged with having. un Monday evening, stabbed soother man in the thigh with a sword-muck. Thy wounded 111411 was too ill to appear, and the Pri soner was, therefore, remanded till he can attend. Whether or not the assault had arisen out of the events of the early part of the day, was not stated." The jealousy of the men in Chine is carried to so ridiculous an extent that they will not suffer tltrir females to be seen even by • physician. Shoulit one of their utifintunato ladies happen to be it'd's posed, a silken thread is fastened round the wnit of the patient, mod the physician is permitted to hold the end of it, and from the mosentent cow' musicated to it by the pubiatioil of the wrist, he is sayposed capable of ascertaining the nature of the disorder.
