The safety of a considerable number of the Deputies was endangered. lie in sNitired an attack made on M.

He attri buted the daily renewal of the tumults of the me tropolis to the employment of the gendarmes atid troops of the line instead of the national guard, wh.eb, he contended, was the only force that could he constitutionally employed for the suppression of riots, and had their services been resorted to, the at.eddiug of blued, lie was convinced, would have been averted. 111. de Girardin said, that for thirty years he bail out seen tiny ust,embly of the people dispersed by twains of armed soldiers until within a few days.

VIIIIcNA, MAN 16. The Congress of the Ministers of the German Powers has contributed to throw much light on the commercial relations of Germany, and especially g iven the merchants and manufacturers of Austria occasion to take into consideration the depressed ' state of trade, and the means of improving it. It is not to be denied that people here were at first rather distrustful of the proposals of the merchants and manufacturers from the rest of Germany, be. cause it was believed to be their principal object to .overthrow our prohibitive system, in order to obtain a free competition with us in Austria, and we there fo►e considered them in some respects as our rivals. But in a short time, when we were better acquainted with their object, alai had read the various memo. ties which they had presented to the German Sove. reigns, to the'Congrevo, and to the Diet at Frank fort, we saw that all the States of the Confederation had the same interest..nousely, measures of reprisal towards It reign States, and as free an intercourse as possible among themselves. It cannot certainly be denied, that in many parts of Germany, especially iu Saxony, manufactures may be produced cheaper than in the Austrian Monarchy, because the work. men are contented with more simple food, and can therefore work for lower wages. This seems to be a reason why our Government should reject the proposals for the freedom of trade, and the adver. saries of this freedom build their chief arguments on it. But the fact is, that it is not an open com petition with the rest of Germany, but the secret competition, that favours the smuggling in of Eng lish good. chiefly, and sometimes of French. If the English sell an ell of calico at the Frankfort fair for eight krruscrs, the smuggler who bells it in Austria for 40 krruzers gains 400 per cent., whereas the Saxon can sell only a few per cent. cheaper. Besides, if foreign goods were prevented from pass ing the frontiers of Germany, it may be presumed that ell the aiming manufactories would be hardly ableto 111°6 the Oematl l l, and therefore they erouhl be :ill folly employed. . Mr. List has also proposed to our Emperor ter let the custop-houses in the Austria.. frontiers con tinue for a time after those on the frontiers of Ger many, to prevent the introduction of foreign goods. Thus Austria would ha►e a double protec tion against the smuggling in of the latter, arid besides he does not ask fur his constituents a com petition with the manufactures of Austria, in casts :where the latter cannot yet support it. Such Intl ties may remain for a time excepted from the ge neral freedom of trade. Front the reception which Professor List had in his second psiVate audience of the Emperor, it 'may be inferred that his Ma jesty views the plan in a favourable light. It is affirmed that the Council of State his 'received orders in consequence of this audience, to apply to all the departments of the Administration con nected with trade and manufactures, for their opi• mons, which will doubtless prove such as the inte rest of Austria requires, Dull so that the delibera tions at Frankfurt will be quite satisfactory to the merchants and manufacturers in the other German States. CARLSRUME, MAY 48. Our Government Paper contains a remarkable notice, from which we karat that the free city of Frankfort will not allow in its territory a free trade with the manufactures of the Grand Duchy. This proceeding, which has given rise to repriaals, is a melancholy proof how far we are front on entire freedom of trade in the whole German Conic- SAXONY, MAY 30. der ition. It is now proved by a most careful investigation, that the much-lamented Professor Kugelgen was attacked and murdered by n single assassin, the artillery soldier Kaltofen, and that this man also committed the murder of the carpenter. six mouths ago, in the high road near Dresden. The artillery soldier Fischer, who had previously confessed him self guilty of both murders, appears to be quite itiumrelit, and to have been led by weariness of life, and his contimmed understanding, to confess himself guilty of those ermines before the real author of them was discovered. The further investigation, has not led to suppose that there was any accom plice. BRITISH NORTH AMERICA. lEXTRACT FROM ♦ PRIVATE LETTER.I " HALIFAX, MAY et. " At two o'clock this day the Earl of Dal housie, Captain-General and Governor-in-Chief of British North America, attended by the Admiral, his Majesty's Council, the Staff, naval ancrmilitary officers, and the principal people of the place, at. tended to lay the first stone of a new College, to be erected at the north end of the grand parade. The whole of the Freemasons of Halifax went in grand procession. They formed in lodges at their hall, and preceded by a military band and follow ed by another, they marched to the places pre pared for them on the building. " His Lordship came on the scaffolding at two o'clock, the grenadiers of the 62d regiment being his guard of honour.- Detachments from each re giment kept the ground. " A fter a prayer by the Rev. Mr. Twining, Grand Chaplain, Lord Dalhousie addressed the assembly in a speech of which I have not time to give an out line; but in it , his Lordship mentioned, that the building was intended as a College, upon the plan of that of Edinburgh, where all students who profess ed the Christian religion were eligible for admit tance. Strangers residing here for a short time, might also enjoy the benefit of the institution, and gentlemen in the army, the navy, and the military establishments. His Lordship concluded a moat eloquent and animated address with his fervent wishes for the welfare and prosperity of the under taking. " A bottle with coins, and a tin case with parch ments, &c. were then severally deposited in the recess made for them, and the stone was lowered into its place with all the requisite and due forms, under a royal salute from fort Charlotte; after which the Rev. the Grand Chaplain closed the proceedings with a prayer, and the whole assembled multitude gave nine cheers. The military and ma sonic processions then returned in the same order in which they came. " The day has been beautiful, and a greater as semblage of people was never witnessed in Halifax. " The Countess o( Dalhousie and her two sons; Mrs. Admiral Griffith and the Miss Wilsons, and most of the fashionable ladies here witnessed the ceremony from a convenient scaffolding prepared for them. " Lord Dalhousie purposes to leave Halifax for Quebee in his Majesty's ship IVewcastle. on the Ibt of Juoe, without waiting for Sir James Keinpt." B KNISH PR SS. LONDON. TUESDAY, JUNE 13, 1820. THE QUEEN. A hope still remains that the unhappy differences subsisting between their MAJESTIES will yet be made the subject of private arrangement. " Some communications and explanations," to use the words of Lord LIVERPOOL in the brief allusion which he made to this interesting point yesterday evening in the House of Lords. have passed be tween the Ministers of the Crown and the QUEEN'S official advisers; but the affair is yet - in a state from which, as his Lordship declared, no presumption could be formed of what might be the probable result. In the mean time the adjourned debate upon the KING'S Message was ngain postponed by Lord CASTLEREAGH in the House of Commons ; and the first meeting of the Secret Committee ap pointed by the House of Lords, which was fixed for this day, was further adjourned by the Esti of LIVER*OOI, until Saturday—subject, of count, as in the former instances, to the subsequent. resolu tions of the House. Allusion was made in both Hours to the documents connected with this sub• jecr, which appeared yesterday in-this, and we be lieve all the other Morning Papers, copied from a respectable Sunday Paper. Lord LivEareot...in particular, expressed himself very warmly in cen sure of those persons who communicated them to the newspapers; but he fully relieved the Qt:F.Eses legal and official advisers from all stolEcion of their having been guilty of this wont of good faith. His Lordship further stated, as did also Mr. BROUGHAM ill the House of Commons, that the notes published in the newspapers were not correct, " although," slid Lord Liveapoot., " they were evidently communicated by some per sons who had seen the originals." IVe may there fore conclude that they were substantially cor rect, though perhaps not verbally accurate. It was hinted by Mr. Ilannuttast, that had her MA JESTY'. domestic arrangements been such as be came her dignity, this occurrence would probably not have happened. Lord HOLLAND'S intention of presenting a Bill to the House of Lords yesterday evening for a re peal of the Royal Marriage Act, being according to the Noble Lord's original notice contingent upon the failure of the tiegociations between their IItiAJESTIES, was not, in consequence of Lord LIVERPOOL'S statement, carried into effect. This notice has naturally excited much speculation among the public, and has, as might be expected, given occasion to many absurd rumours, some of 'which it appears attributed to his Lordship the egregious folly of purporting to give to his pro posed measure a retrospective operation. This intention the Noble Lord yesterday evening distinctly disclaimed, stating that he contemplated nothing beyond a simple repeal of the Act. The Noble Lord postponed his motion yesterday evening, but lie at the same time apprised the House that it was his intention, from an impression long cherished of the necessity of repealing that Act, to submit a Bill for the purpose some time within the present week. A Petition was presented yesterday evening in the (louse of Lords ly•the Earl of CARNARVON upon a subject which certainly demands public notice. The Petition was from certain persons in the city of Coventry, complaining that proceed ings had been instituted against them in his Ma jesty's Court of Exchequer, in consequence of their having prepared and sold toasted wheat or barley, to be used as a substitute for coffee. With respect to the particulars of the petitioners' case, we profess not to be acquainted, but we have been given to understand that reversl persons in London, and in many parts of the country, have been pro ceeded against with extreme severity for having sold toatsed wheat, barley, and beans, not under the name of coffee, which would undoubtedly be a gross fraud, and as such deserving of condign pit. nislitnent, but without any disguise whatsoever, under their own and proper names of toasted wheat, barley, or beans," which, so far as we can collect, is tint opposed to any principle of law re• cognised in England. The persons who have en gaged in this trade are for the most part poor, and consequently unable to defend themselves against the power of the ArroRtrer•GENERAL, and have the question of law determined. In many in+lances the dread of prosecution has compelled poor people to relinquish the trade, and has consequently been attended with much mischief; in others, actual pro secution has completed the ruin of fatuities. The subject, we think, is not undeserving the attention of the Legislature, for it is somewhat severe that the act of selling toasted grain should he punished, while no penalty is attached to the act of selling it baked. We have received Paris Papers of Friday last. A writer in the Journal des Debuts of the latter day seems to consider a revolution - in the Government as approaching, and that the oc currences in the capital during the last week are its unerring symptoms. lie says. " During five years the guilty wishes of some men reqiiire, and the efforts of others prepare a new revolution. Ac cording to the favourite eworession of one of its in. citers it is en marehe ; its first symptoms have al ready appeared ; it is approaching. The writer then, with an uncommon degree of freedom, considering the existence of the previous censorship over the press, reciter the respec►ive de sires and objects of the several parties into which the revolutionists are divided. One party, lie says, are of opinion that l" llowarature. is wanted ;" an other are anxious to see the young NAPOLEON on the throne, under the guidance and protection of Austria; a third affirm that no happiness can be found under any form of government but that of a federative republic, similar to the United States of America, each department in France being con• stituted into a separate State ; while a fourth contend that the safety of France consists in the investiture of a foreign Prince. Possibly the writer might intend that u considerable portion of this statement should be understood as meaning to throw ridicule upon these factions; but it is certain that in the mean time the ntanifestatio•s of public opinion in Paris is of a nature not to be treated with ridicule. Every evening regularly grooves of discontented persons assemble in the squares and street!, and rr. ceive the troops who are sent to disperse them wi!ii shouts of a seditious tendency. The execution of Louvel was fortunately unaccompanied by any cnni motion, awl during the day the city enjoyed pet feet tranquillity ; but the Journal des Debars observes. " this tranquillity was deceitful. At about past eight o'clock in the evenings crowd of several hundred persons appeared quite suddenly on tl e borkeard des Capueires, all armed with r•lni... They proceeded en masse along the causeway shun!. ing Vire la Chorte ." sod, also would believe 1! ' Vive l' &Testier ." AcClamatioris of a nature still more culpable were also uttered, but they were too atrocious to admit of our repeating them." " This seditious assembly," continues the Jour nal des Debuts, 6 , traversed the boulevards es to the gate Saint Denis, without encountering sot• force sufficient to disperse them, and still coolinu tl inerea,ing they met with no opposil ion until they en tered the boulevard Bonne Nouvelle,* hrre a incymt of the horse national guard attempted to oppose their progress, but was unequal to the task. But a de tachment of dragoons of the royal guard nod of the horse gendarmerie having attacked them :.sir the Chateau.d'Eau, dispersed diem. A small por tion proceeded to the faubourg Saint A imal:e trc lateral streets. The boulevard was vet °pied be troops of the line. Some seditious cries were uttered, which had no other effect than to cause the 511.1ps to be closed. Several of the rio'ers were arrested in the faubourg, and at ten o'clm k tranquillity tv,s re-established." Another paper states, that the agitators caused various false rumours to he circulated in Peri. oil Thursday; such a., that the Kist; had left Paris; some said for Versatlle., others far 1....whit:0,1.am, others for Lille, .Cr. 11.4 AJ t STY, however, i:ail not left the Palace of the where lie eon. tinned to transact business with Ins Minster.. During the whole of Thursday the tranqtill!i'y of the capital was not disturbed. Aii ordinance of the police was posted throughout the city, not icieg the contempt with which the former ordinance prohi biting assemblages of people in the streets was treated, and announcing that all fronds wh cis 11,:t not immediately separate oti bring required by 4 police officer. should be instantly dispersed Li force. The discussion still continues is the Chamber of I)eputies upon the second paragraph of the tir•t article of the Law of Vet-tient.. It is surpris:ti4 that when both parties in the Chamber perceive ti e danger to which the public peace is exposed in con sequeuce of the endless debates upon this subject, the Alembenisto not devote more time to the debates, and bring them sooner to a conclusion. The discussion seldom commences before half-past one o'clock, and the arrival of the dinner hour regularly termitiatis the day's labour. And thus, day after day, they pro. long an altercation the continuaiice of which ha. excited angry feelings throughout the country, di.- turbed the tranquillity of the capital, and tu..,_!:t eventually endanger the safety of the Bot:an,o: dynasty. The discussion was adjourned to the fol lowing day.
