OCTOBER 15. • By the latest accounts from the island of Banat the corps of our troops which were sent against the d•sirict of Broca Rolla, was quite ready to make itbr'l master by assault, and without considerable lvss, of the fortress made there by the rebels of Leans and other materisls, which was in a troy position. Contrary winds, and the low liter thereby occasioned, on the bank of Sam on the Palembang River, hindered the tar t est ships from passing over it. At the nese moon the whole expedition was in good condition; the smaller vessels were in the mouth of tbe river, and the larger were to attempt to pass tie bank at full moon. VIENNA, MAUI; 15. The plan of a new loan, to redeem the paper currency, is nearly completed. N. Rothschild, of Frankfort, who is now here with some bankers •f this city, will arrange the whole. The paper curreccy is rising. The plan is not entirely known, but it stems there is to be a kind of lottery of 4130,000 numbers, at 100 florins, bearing four per cent. interest. This lottery is to be divided MU 25 classes ; the tickets are to be drawn in 25 years. Be. sides the prises, some of which are considerable, the holders enjoy the interest.

The establishment of the tolls on the frontier of Russia towards Poland, is still useiutaiued. but only in respect to goods coming from. or going to foreign countries, and for salt, to bacco. brandy. and playing-cards. In every other respect Poland ceases to be considered as a foreign country. There is a free and uninterrupted passage across that frontier for.—l. All the ram prodoctions of the two countries which are intended for the use of each otl►er respectively. with the only condition of specifying them at the frontier fur statistical purposes. R. The manufactures and production* of the industry of the two countries, hut accompanied with certificates of origin, and those manufactured from the raw material, of the two countries mimeo. tively, free of duty; tl►ose manufactured from the raw materiels furnished by other countries, upon conditions hereafter to be determined. The Ru g . shut Minirtry of Finance and the Polish Government will agree together ou the most convenient stations for taking the export duty on Russian productious exported to foreign countries through Poland. To maintain the superintendence over the importation of foreign manufactures through Poland into Roa sts, and at the same time iucresse the trade and especially the fairs of Warsaw, it is ordered—l. That to prevent fraud, the Russian Chief Boards of Customs is to receive from the Polish Govern ment a complete catalogue (to be euccestively com pleted es circumstances require) of all Polish manu factories, wit h a statement fl f the place, the proprietor, the quality and quantity of the goods manufactured. adding the *tamp and mark of the manufactures.

The ecclesiastical affairs take a favourable turn. The lost accounts which we have received upon this pubject are of a very satisfactory na ture. It is a mistake that it is intended to send a new deputation to Rome, as some jou►nals have stated.

Authentic accounts have been received of the arrival of two vessels from Holland at Rio de Js nerio, having ou board a considerable number of the Swiss colonists, who were immediately sent to Santo Gallo, where they would find every thing re quisite for their new establishment. We ere now certain that hardly any thing has been done for several months towards the definitive re-establishment of the Episcopal Institutions in the Catholic parts of Switzerland. The answers which have been for some time so impatiently ex pected from Rome, do not arrive. It is also cer tain that some of the Governments who hive made various applications to Rome, have not received any decision on the subject. FRENCH PAPERS. • FARIS, KAOCEI U.

Major Cartwright was present at, but took no part in the business of the legislatorial attorney meeting ; he means to phew, by the whole tene► of his poli tical life, that he was averse to violent measures of any description to remedy political abuses. For this purpose he has subpoenaed several die. tinguished public characters with whom he act ed in the course of his long career, and means, if allowed to enter into so wide a latitude of defence, to chew that he often opposed the cele brated Thomas Paine and others, who proposed summary remedies in the course of their political dissertations. The Major has subpossaed the Duke of Roxburgh, but his Grace is attending the election of Scottish Peers at Holyrood House; he has also requested the attendance of his Grace the Duke of Bedford, and Mr. Tierney. The Major is in private lodgings in Warwick, accompanied by Mrs. Cartwright, Mr. Peter Walker, Mr. North. more, and some other private friends. Mr. Peer son is his solicitor. The venerable Major has been in Warwick for several days; he tough' a hard and successful battle at the Crown Olßct in striking the Special Jury. In the 48 first picked there were included 13 of the Grand Jury who found the bills against him. which 13 how ever the Major succeeded in getting struck off. He is in high spirits. As all the Defendants are ors• tors, the trial is not expected to finish in one day. Warwick is extremely crowded, and the trial es. cites mach interest. The Treasury writers still persist in saying that the verdict of the York Jury declaring the meeting of Manchester illegal from the circumstances at. tending it, has fully justified the Magistrates in employing the yeomanry to disperse the people. This assertion, often made, has been repeatedly disproved, and even the Treasury writers must be aware, that in argument an assertion once refuted can derive no strength from bring repeated. Bot admitting for • moment that the assertion be sup. portable in a court of law, it surely cannot be maintained that the exercise of military violence was just or legal, without first ascertaining whether the same purpose might not be attained by the exercise of the civil power alone, or without giving to the people assembled the notice required by law on such occasions. Evidence was given at York that the proclamation prescribed by the Riot Act tear mat read. sad that the yeomanry cavalry advanced rapidly into the mixed assembly without any previous intimation of their purpose, other than the command to advance. It is, however. cleat from the evidence, and from the esiummemes of Mr. Justice BATLEY. that the unlawfolnees of the met. ing was couatructive, and arose neither from its • avowed and ostensible object. nor from the menu 'multitude that encoded at it. in such a come it is obvious that nothing could have justified the Magistrates in interfering but the appearance of a lumulteary disposition on the part of the meet. iug—an evident design of perpetrating present mischiefs but the concurrent testimony of Dearly all the witnesses examined at York proem that so far were the people assembled at Manche,. ter from manilestiug any tendency towards riot, that on the contrary they obsersed the strictest do. corium and propriety of conduct. The Judge, homes/. by keeping the legality or illegality of Mr. Mille, proceedings distinct from the question' of the propriety et impropriety of the 1111161110 NO adopted and pursued by the Magistrates sad pea weary, manifestly implied that the deierasioneiess of the one creation did net aeressarily ionise Ma other, sand thereby sbeired that Mr. Hove 1 45: be guilty even of every charge contained in , 17 deteivedi and the hountrt expects from their can dour and sense of honour that they will withdraw their countenance and support from Magistrates who, to conceal their own rashness or timidity, Isis• repredented the character of the meeting, and vilified, after they had injured, a pesceabk and an.

The Missouri Bill posed, in the House of Representatives, on the lit fast. ‘ with the clause re straining that State from introducing slavery. There was a majority of only nine in its favour; the num. hers being, for the passing of the Bill 91, against it 84. It was next day carried op to the Senate, where. upon the motion illf Mr. BA MIMI It, the clause requiV2 i lig the new State to interdict slavery within its limiti, was ordered to be struck out by a majority of 12 ; the numbers being, for the restriction 15. against it 27. A clause was then added, declaring. generally, the inhibition of slavery in the territories of the United States north of 36. 30. north latitude, except within the proposed State of Missouri. This motion was agreed to without debote, and the Bill, in its amended state, was sent back to the House of Re presentatives. A warm debate ensued, but the amendments were finally earned ; the numbers in favour of them being 90. and against 87. An insurrection of the blacks is said to ban broken out at Petenburgh, in Virginia.
