It is said that the Ring, who is now at MIMI:, will go, about the end of August, to the Rhine, in order to pay his compliments to some of the Allied Sovereigns. The Emperor Alexander continues to entertain the most favourable sentiments towards Saxony, whence, it was hoped, that we should see hie at Dresden. The arrangements with Prussia are said to be entirely terminated, but they have not yet been made poblie, so that the possessima of several villages is still uncertain. In the Duchy of Saxony the exercise of the mili tary is very constant. The fair at Nuremberg has turned oat far less favourably than was expected t the Leipsik fair this year, so early. 4 r( 1 1 1 Li i• ' ; ( , LEIPZIG, JULY O. Trade is now more doll than it ever was before. There is a want both of money and of confidence. It is dificolt for any one to obtain money without actual security, and if the wait of confidence in creases as it has done hitherto, trade most suffer mill more. The forwarding trade, as they here call it, has almost wholly left os. Several causes are assigned. Some of them may be easily re moved by an enlightened a Government as that of Saxony; for example, by improving the roads and lessening the transit duties. It may be reasonably expected that pains will be taken to investigate the causes of the evils which are so injurious to the trade of Leipzig, and means to remove them will sot be hard to find: when Leipzig coffers, the whole kingdom feels the effects. It is singular that though trade declines, the number of inhabi tants increases, many coming from the neighbour. hood to settle here. The same is 'the case in the villages in the kingdom of Sunny, where many persons from other countries purchase land, parti cularly farmers who have ebildren.—( Nwresalkerg Correspondent, July 12.)

A Ministerial Print of yesterday states that the excess of the public Revenue in the week before last, above the corresponding week of 11117, was 1131.000/. and that of last week 1115,0001. tusking. in the short space of one fortnight, an increase to the amount of 436,0001., being at the rate of above eleven► millions a year, which is an improvement greatly exceeding even the expectations of the Cm•weaLLoa of the EICNIQUICR, who stated in the House of Commons i►l the late Oil 08 of Parliament the improvement of the public Re. venue. as compared with last year, to be in the ratio of only £OO,OOOL per week. The same Paper *dale, " We believe there is no instance upon record of • country recovering so ra pidly from the depression created by a long war; nor could such an instance now occur, if wisdom and energy did not preside over our national Coun cils."—That this improvement affords abundant grounds for congratulation, no one will deny; but it is somewhat curious and whimsical to attribute it to the wisdom and energy of Ministers. Foreign and domestic trade, arts and industry, are, we be lieve, the ses! sources of revenue. If any measures or regulations adopted by Ministers have extended and enriched these sources, they are certainly so far entitled to credit for the improvement; but until this is alsewn to be the case, we are disposed to con sider the compliment paid to them by the Treasury Print as only as. effusion of its habitual Battery. The depression created by • long war can only be remedied by a long peace, and the country now be gins to feel the benefits of • peace that promises to be long and solid. This is the natural course of things, growing out of a system, civil. politi cal, and counnser►ial, that existed before Ministers came into power. and which. if left to their own wisdom and energy, they would have de teriorated, and not improved. If domestic indnstry and foreign commerce do not now languish from excessive taxation sad public extravagance, they can claim no merit for the exemption from those public ends. It is not their fault that we have not a peace Income Tax, the Malt Tax. and many others, that would have continued to cramp industry and paralyze exertion. So far as economy and retrenchment assist notional in dustry. it t• to the Opposition, who successfully contended fur these goods, and not to the " wisdom and energy" of Ministers, who fought hard against them. the country is indebted for the improve ment in the Revenue. We have received German Pipers to the 13th instant. It is stated, under the hew a Frank fort, July 6, that " M. KUPFiIi, Secretary to the Prussian Legat . to the Diet, is gone express to Berlin. The deliberations on the military organisation of the German Confedera tion have hitherto been confined to the ques tion respecting the furinstion and composition of the several divisions ■nd corps of which the Army of the Confederation is to consist. The line of defence and ha.is of operations in case of an attack on the territory of the Confederation, is di rected only towards the Nest, and hence it has been proposed to divide the army into two grand divisions, a western and a south-western. With respect to the creation of new fortresses on the western frontier of Germany, it is not yet agreed whether the great expense that will attend the creation of them shall be borne in proportion by all the Members of the Confederation, or only by those in whose territories it may he found advise able to build such fortresses.

Some further extracts froth 'the Genesis Papal are given in our preceding coluitenv. An article in a Dutch Paper, received yesterday, asserts, that the new French plot was bat an ebulli tion of the personal discontent of some superior Officer* in the army, upon what they conceive to he a disregard to their !befits; and should these persons joie themselves to the Ultra-Royalitet and " went their complainingt" against the Ministers in a louder tone than usual, and project some means in them selves, fair and constitutional, to deprive the Mi nisters of their places, no doubt these representa tives of Majesty would endeavour to denounce such antagonists as traitors to the State, and designate their own probable loss of power as the precursor of the Monarch's ruin, and of the destruction of the Constitution. It is certain that the Ministers are ridiculed in Paris for endeavouring to lend import once to such a trine. The vintage in the several parts of France is re. presented, in the Paris Papers received yesterday, as being more abundant than has been known for many years. This is expressed by the forcible, though probably exaggerated phrase, that it is im possible to primate sufficient vessels to receive it. The rye harvest has commenced in Champagne, Brie, wad thicOtary about Paris, and is also said to be exceedingly abuntleat. The other tteirvetts give an early promise.

It is stated as a report iti letters from the French frontier, that the Emperor' of Avsrata and Itussta, and the King of Pausst a, will go from Aix-la-Chapelle to Paris in case the result of the approaching Congress shall be io favour of withdrawing the Army of Occupation, and that they will rtvirw their respective contingents previous to their departure. The Emperor of Runt A 1115 ar rived at St. Petersburg'', otshis return from Macaw. We have received New Orleans Papas to the 23d of May; but they contaia au new.. It is with regret we have to communicate the par ticulars of an attempt on the part of the cosnufac torero of Stockport to compel an advance of wages. There are several account.. The following ill ex tracted from a private letter:— " We are unit* eouceroed to state that Stockport has been a scene of seriess disturbance this week. The evil disposition of a numerous body of work-people, who here struck fur as advance of wages, has manifested itself by attacking the power-loons factory of Mr. Garside, s the head and front' of whose offence was giving em ployment to some females, who were engaged at Burton upon-Treat, to continue that occupation which they had spontaneously relinquished. The windows were one and all demolished. The Yeomanry Cavalry were called orb, but they were iodides. in numbers, and several adieus were hurt by the populace ; on Thursday at aoou, a troop of the 13Th Light Dragoons arrived from our Barracks, sad exerted themselves, upon which occasion Serjeaat Corktoo sustained • serious injury. One-and-twenty persons have been apprehended en • charge of rioting, six of whom have been committed to Lancaster Castle, and the others are remoulded for further examiaatioa." At Manchester the spinners still continue refrac tory, though their conduct hitherto has been accom panied by no violence or outrage. Several Papers relating to the affairs of India were, a short time previous to the dissolution of the late Parliament, ordered by the House of Commons to be printed. The order has just been completed, and we hasten to present our readers with several extracts from the dispatches, advice', and narratives relative to the origin and progress of the discussions which terminated in hostilities with the PICISHWAH, or the nominal head of the Msh. faits Powers. Our limits prevent us from pub lishing in one number even such extract+ as will be thought necessary fur giving • general sketch of the proceedings adopted by Mr. ELPHINIITOIIB, the British Resident at Poona ; we are therefore unwillingly compelled to divide them into two por tions, of which the first appears in our present uumber. These documents will be found highly interest ing, from the proofs they afford that the present, or as we trust we may now say. the late war be. tween the British Government and the PEMIWAM, was caused solely by the arts and machinations of the latter. It was manifestly the interest of the Court of Poona, to cultivate the friendship of the British power in trula.i, and by pursu. ing this simple and obvious line of policy. the PIISHWAH had long enjoyed the security af forded by its protection. The PEISHWAII, how. ever. in an evil hour, listened to the ainhitious pro jects of one Talmeocusis, who had been a attendant on his Highness, and submitted himself blindly to this man's discretion. It will be seen from these documents now published, that for the purpose of arranging some difficulties between the PEISHW•H and the GulcitSVAit, the Minister of the latter repaired to Poona, under the solemn guaran tee of the British Resident. The Minister Gum. • 1 .0 OADMIO. IiAitTRY wart barbarously murdered, and under such circumstances av could leave no 1101311 t that the asamerination had been liernetrated by the orders of TRlNlnucKralt. Ur. ELPOINSToNE, course, felt himself bound to require of the WAN to institute an immediate inquiry into sl w event, and openly accused Taimuucture of the murder. The Pulsing . tn wavered awl hesitated, but Mr. Et.rnt NaToa oda firm; and after tout b negociatiun and difficulties, TRIMBOCKJEE was de. livered into the hands of the Britialt. The murderer, however, was enabled by the PEISIMAn's assistance to effect his escispe from prison, and being concealed, protected, and assisted by Isis Highness, at length - tsucceetled in raising a gang of desperate folloiners, to the 1110411ber of about 4.000 men. With these lie committed various excesses against the British and their friend•. Mr. ELPIIINSTONE demanded of the PEISAWAII that his favourite should be proclaimed a rebel, bat the PLPIIIWAII declared there was no rebellion. In the mean time Isis Llighoess secretly issued orders that all his troops should approach Poona ; that soldiers should be levied ; that his fortresses should be garrisoned and provisioned ; and yet its the spirit of dissimulation which has ever distinguished the Mahratta Princes, he at the same moment autho rised the seizure of TRISISUCKJet, and surrendered three of his strongest forts to the British as proofs of his sincerity. Fortunately Mr. EI.PUINSTOISE was too well apprised of his character to he de ceived by such appearances, so that when the Pxtsuw,►e, having at length completed hisschemes, threw oif all disguise by attacking the British troaps and burning the Residency at P 004114 Mr. Eneittuteroxt had by his &Mlles% foresight, and energy, provided a British force sufficient to repel the aggression, maintain the lilmour and superiority of his country, and p his the PIAIIIIWAH for his treachery and folly This brief statement, tubstautiated as it is by &cu. mute, will, we doubt not, prove satisfactorily that the hostilities which lately agitated that part of India did not arise from any ambitious projects upon the part of the British Government. but are fairly attributable to the oititcoudoct of the Court of Poona. War, however. in India, is at sill times to be lamented, The consequences which it is calculated to produce not only upon the temper, and habits, and feelings of the conquered, but even upon the stability slow own empire, by injudiciously eateuding its limits, can never be compensated by the splendour of victory. It is in one respect satis factory to think that we have not provoked hostili ties, and that the evil has, in the present instance, been obviated its a very great degree by wisdom and energy ; but it is by no memos consolatory to think that we are thus exposed on every occasion, by no fault of our own. to dangers which no prudence can prevent, and that there exists even in Princes ele vated to the musaud by British power, and long thought to be depeesdaut upon British generosity for their support, amb►ttion and strength sufficient to disturb oar repose, and to agitate the whole peninsula of India by their military projects. Lord CASTLSREACII has fixed the time of his de parture for the Congress of Sovereigns. lie is to set out in the first week in September, and hopes to return by the meeting of Parliament in November. It is not the intention of Ministers that it should meet either for the dispatch of business. airless hi the event of so occurrence which is but toe probable. If that event should take place before the 4th of August. Parliament would meet on the return of the waits.—( Evereing Paper.) It is said that Mr. PEEL, is about to make the tour of Europe. and that he will continue abroad for two years. Politicians do not fail to draw con. elusiosis from this resolu►ion of the young and pro mis:ng Statesman. The ',reference ,hewn to Mr. ROBINSON would not, perhaps, have given rise to this step. if the result of the General Election had not suggested to taint the prudence of keeping sloof!—(loid.) The number of new Members aimed!, returned to Parliament, amount• to lii. The Cu ANCEL Loa of the Elmo' &Kat etas grant ed n sum of 500/. for the relief of the inhabitants of Scilly and Islands. It is stated, however, by the Cornwell Gazelle. that 1.0001. at least is ne. ce.sary to satisfy their present necessities, and from 4,0001. to 3.0001. to establish mackerel and pilchard fisheries, as the only mea►ure of permanent sup port.
