The Dat TMI Pilau emotoeseed publishing yesterday morning at live o'clock,. LONDON, SATURDAY, JULY 31, 1824. German Papers were received last night, from which we learn from Frankfort, 18th July, that the alarm against dangerous people has been communicated from Paris to' , Vienna. It would appear that the French deem Lady Orford and Mrs. Hutchison "dangerous persons," and in consequence they have been banished from Paris, and the most effective means resorted to to prevent them entering Germany, lest they might spread the distemper of liberal ism. The possibility of Lady Morgan's setting fire to the Danube is also guarded against by giving orders to the police to keep her out, if she has not already entered Ger many, and to turn her out if she has. All this only proves, what no man heretofore doubted, that Louis is ■n old blockhead, and the Emperor jeer nohile. Lord Holland is also to be excluded for being a Radical, and having abused the Allied Sovereigns. Advice. from Hanover state, that the Ministers of the Kingdom hare recently had several important consulta tions, the subject of which was generally understood to be, the sending of troops to Portugal ; the result of these de liberations, it is added, has been forwarded to this country. The German Journals contain numerous details of the late storm. In the I)uchy of Luxemberg it was severely felt, 'the roofs of the houses antpublie bulftfings were blown off, trees torn up by the roots, and even the ground deeply furrowed, so that, in many places, the country, for ten leagues in length and one in breadth, is a complete scene of desolation. In Saxony and Bohemia great damage was done to the marsh lands by the continued rains. Between the 30th of June and the 1:4 of this month the Elbe rose upwards of fourteen feet, and destroyed the crops on 6,000 ogres of land. Such wr inundation has not been known in Germany for the last forty years. EXCHANGES. A NIT EZDAN JULY 27.LLOTrion..i9 II ; two months, 39 9. lIA st ni• non.

VIENNA, JULY It —Landon. three months, 9 51. The Morning Chronicle of yeaterday, contained a most alarming piece of intelligence, which we give whole in a lump to our readers : " Spain is one great prison. lam informed. and believe it, that full one-third of the whole population is in durance in public ganls, and comfined to their houses for liberal opinions . . . . They talk of trials, but nn one is acquitted ... . . Every day occurrences in the affairs of °government will rot be believed an foo ' reign countries ; we outdo Algiers and Constantinople in wicked ness, in open cruelty and injustim" Now, without disputing the wickedness; and injustice of Spain, let as for a moment think of the appalling facts.— Spain contains 10,350,000 people—the third of which is 3,450,000. As about a third of the population of every country is under fourteen years of age—none of whom can we suppose to be in durance; and as few women can be objects of suspicion. or at least of dread to any Govern- 1 'went, we may safely allow but 430,000 for them. So that if the accurate friend of the Nfurning CAron&•!e be correct, 1 we have the amazing fact of three matins of men being kept in prison by half a million, aided by the women and children. Let us do it in figures for exactness. The population al' Spain is - . - 10,361,000 Of whom the amber under le, is a third - 3,440,409 The adults, mak and female, therefore are - 6,900,1410 As half at least, is femak—in Spain it is more than half—tbe number of females is - 2,41/0,01:16 And the males of mune . 3,430,000 Now as • third of the population is in prison, the total number is 3,440, eiluct 430,000 roe women, and the total men imprisoned is - 3,001,000 Who of course are guarded by - • 450,0001 'Phis is certainly " something to talk of, when we are dead and rotten." We hope the philanthropists of Spain have established a good code of prison discipline, or things may go worse than in Horsemonger-lane. All that asto nishes us is, that, considering that the inhabitants of the prisons are so much superior in numbers to those who are confining them, they do not pluck up a spirit, break the blockade, and escape to the mountains, if they find they cannot face their enemies in the open plain. The French Army of Occupation is, of course, but a drop in the bucket, and not to be considered in the calculation; for, even sup posing they had nothing else to do, what could 100,000 men do against so many? On the whole, we know not which to pity most, those in gaol, or thou, outside; for the part of the population on duty, what with guards, and what with piquets and patroles, will hardly have what soldiers call one night in bed—that is, they must bel on duty at least each alternate night. 1 On one point, however, the Morning Chronicle and we most cordially agree. Never did a revolution take place I with less bloodshed, and rem did men, thrown suddenly and unexpectedly into poWer, pie it with so much discre tion or moderation as the leaddrs of the Spanish revolution ; 1 and had not France interfered Unwarrantably in a quarrel, I in which she was bound to stand neuter, it might, nay most likely would, have been, that good sense and ex- perience would have taught the revolutionists, that no' Government could be permanent in which the two great Powers of the nation—the Nobility and the Church, how ever worthless these might be, had no share. We cannot, however, join in the commiseration ex pressed for the present state of the Spaniards. Either the revolution was the wait of the majority of the population, or it was not. If it were the latter, then it was quite right that the majority should do away with it; and in either case, but more especially if the former supposition were correct, will any maw say, that men deserve freedom wbo hold it at so low a rate as not to strike a single blow for its preservation. Yet true it is, that the French army marched from the Pyrenees to Cadiz with almost as little inter ruption as they did from Paris to Bayonne. We all know bow much the Bourbons would give for a good shout from the Parisian rabble—we all know with what pleasure they would have sacrificed a few thousand men for the sake of recording the glorious victory they achieved—everybody knows how easily a French bulletin is cooked up, that it only requires a successful skirmish for the argument, and for the scene a field bounded by a river, with a bridge in the distance; and if an eminence on one flank, and a morass on the other, are to be had for love or money, the thing is superb. Yet during the whole Spanish campaign we had no " grand movements," no" covering with glory," no " pro digies of valour," simpl7 because in a land of hills, passes, and ravines and defiles, there was not a good skirmish till the French army lay down before Cadiz. 1%111 any one assert that men who could permit this de serve the blessings of freedom ? No ; every one who wishes them well would say—let them be fettered by des potism till the iron enters their soul ; let oppression weigh them down, and tyianny goad them to the extremity beyond which human endurance can bear no more, and then des peration will supply the place of courage, and with one simultaneous burst they will-break their fetters, and eman cipate themselves from the galling yoke which bigotry and tyranny has bound on their necks. We took the liberty some days ago to advert to the danger of allowing dogs to go about the streets, while an epidemic hydrophobia is raging in every part of the country. We perceived yesterday that a notice was posted on the pillars of the Mansion-house, ordering dogs who gain their livelihood by drawing trucks to assume muzzles forth with ; and recommending others to keep their own houses, under the threat of a penalty against their masters. So far good, and we can only say better late than never; but we think that it would be just as well to warn people who possess dogs, that if they appear on the streets unmuzzled, they will be executed forthwith, without benefit of clergy. As if a cur is apprehended and carried before the Lord Mayor, it is highly probable that his master, considering that, as by the law of the last., a prisoner tried for his life is not allowed council to speak for him, it may be as prudent for him to keep out of the way of paying the fine; and in all probability Pompey or Pincher will find his way home, when he has successfully settled his affairs in Court. But if the unfortunate quadruped be, like Mr. Gourley, found guilty of being non apropos, his master's oratory will hardly save him ; and the fact proved, will scarce act as a plea for mitigation of damages. Perhaps the present City Dignitary may feel averse at this mo ment from entering on severe measures with members of corporations, and therefore not wish to attnnpt effective means; but it would be as well to issue instructions, that the proclamation, mach as it 11, be carried into immediate effect, fa as yet it has pat E any sensible degree thinned the canine Fopulatiow on the streets of the City.

I The true art of happiness has been said to consist in ac- quiring a relish for praetor-able geastires, now among these, Iwe may certainly reckon music, both vocal and instru— mental : its lovers are of all kinds and of all classes, from the delighted listeners to the barrel-organ and the hurely guilty, to the enraptured autliton at the Opera and tlu• Philharmonic. As an amusement—as a relaxation from the sober cares of life—as an enjoyment capable of drawing forth our best feelings, and exciting all the purest sympathies of our nature, meal music ranks beyond all competition. It fortunately so happens, that the mass of mankind can be cheaply pleased ; for not being very fastidious, their plea sure can be cheaply purchased. Mr. LEATH:SLUNG! is knocked down for a song; taste and science are out of the question, he understands but little of either, and his ad mirers understand still less ; he rivets, nevertheless, the ears of his audience, and never fails to be accompanied at the conclusion with a roar of honest and heartfelt applause. But singing, when considered as a science, an 1 as a science adding beyond all others to the stock of human enjoyment, deserves that we should study it with care, and cultivate it as among the highest and most attractive accomplish tnents. For this purpose, it is essential tl:at it should he studied in its fundamental principles, for without this it can never be cultivated to perfection. It is in this point of view, and as contributing professedly to this result, that we consider Mr. PHILIPPS Lectures as most valuable. His instructions are original ; he exemplifies them by in stances and illustrations ; and those who cultivate the vocal art would do well to treasure up his precepts. . . In singing and music, as in many other sciences, it unfortunately happens that we have a superfluous flow of jearning, and an excess of refined and complex theory, while those simple principles which lie at the basis of all that is truly valuable in their acquirement are totally disregarded. Mr. PHILIPPS' chief aim appears to he, to give his hearers! an insight into these simple principles, and to spew under what training alone the voice can be truly disciplined, and all its finest powers most eTectively called farth. His lessons on this head wer. conveyed in a most impressive and interesting manner. His rules in singing, like those of Mr. THU-WALL in speaking. contain the philosophy of the art, and are all capable of being applied to the most important practical purposes. That the most effective embellishments introduced by our English singers are derived from the Italians, was shewn with excellent effect in the air of " While the lads of the village," which was given just in the simple unadorned stile of the original composition, and next, after the manner of the Italian School, in which Mr. Incledon was accustomed to give it. The manner of singing the scale, and the rules for syl labic pronunciation in sincing, were descanted upon with great judgment, and illustrated by the ballad of " Far, far at sea," All the fundamental rules and principles, the observance of which constitute the excellence and effect of vocal music, were illustrated, each in their order, and in a manner cal culated to introduce that practical application of them which is the soul of this delightful science. Such public instructions as these were greatly wanted in this metropolis, and it was with the utmost pleasure that we heard Mr. Philipps announce his intention to give a second lecture.

THE BURMESE—LIRERATio OF MR. CREW. We are happy to be able to announce the release end safe return to Chittagong of Mr. ('hew, the Lieutenant of the East India Company's chip Sophia, mil his contrail% who were so treacherously seized by the Burmese truth,- rides in Arracan, on the e>ool of January of the preset Year. The following particulars have reached us respre mg their detention and subscqueut liberation :—On arrival at the place so which they bad been invited by ix Burmese Commander, they found themselves immediate!r surrounded by an armed force. The leaders asked Mr. Chew whether lie was Captain Chew ? Whether that wa his ship lying off Shapurce? and what salary the Company gave him ? On his answering these several questions, they said the King of Ava would give him much more jibe would serve him. They continued to question him for tore time, when he rose to take his leave and return to his ba.t. but was prevented by the armed men, who laid. hold dna anus and those of his companions, took away their swan". forced them all into the fort, and etript them of everythar they lad about them. They were then marched, ankt an escort of about 200 men, to a stockade on the bob of the river, where they were embarked in a boat, and cca veyed to a place called Myatook, commanded by Rkftb Nlenclah, the son of the Rajah of Arracan, where they vr• derwent an examination.

Mr. Chew then demanded an audience of the Rajah, why was granted on the following day. When he was belvOlt with his companions before the Court, he novena to know why he was taken ; they said it was not by the orders; they asked him why he broup,ht a ship 1 % guns near their Wand of Shapuree ; he replied he vas the! for the purpose of petting wood and water. 'the Ritieh 2 11 ' -hat he was not privy to the seizure; tut b vane . 1 ro the King of Ava, and they must await the answer. 'they then returned to the place of their coutinetnert, and le' maincd there till the 13th of February, whin they wet sent back to Mangdoo, by whom they were allowed to re turn to Chittagong. It is observable that Mr. Chew and his party war . Dir . rated by the Rajah of Arracan on the 13th very clay on which the Burmese were driven frees tair stockades at Buddapore by the detachment under theme' mud of Captain Johnstone; and no doubt can be enter tained but that they owe their liberty to the imprrvar . ur` tlueed by that vigorous and successful attack.
