iIAMBLIAGII MAIL. STOCKTIOLIq, SEPT. 18.—Since the beginning of September we have had pleasant cheerfel wea tiler, and it is theiefoi.e to be expected that the harvest will be got in well. There was published at Leghorn, in :fitly last, an Ordinance of the Tuscan Government, which contains, among other regulations, " that to promote the sale of the iron , matinfactured there, 11!e importation of foreign iron, and certain ar ticles manufactured from it, as east-iron, nails, spades, &c. (articles that cannot be 'manufactured there, however, such as iron-plates, &c. and not inelwied), any ofthese foreign articles which may hare already heety,i:nported, are to be put into Governmeot mageiine, upon paving a duty of one livre p er 1001 b. ,and must be re-es:potted within a certain time,." This Ordinance has ex cited general attention, because only the stuallest part of the iron imported was used in January, but went to Sicily, the Levant, &c. Most of the foreign Consuls residing at Leg horn intend to us an application on' this sub iect to the Grand Duke of Tuscany, because the tree trade is hindered by these regulations, and ex. 1110111in:41y new duties are occasioned by it. BRANDENBURG, SEPT. 17.—A rentatitable tie g;cCof liberality is now shewn by Prussia (which 'bad formerly so much injustice and ill usage to bear front France ; which, in its spirited and vie todous struggle, was not guided by revenge, but moderation) towards the French , exiles who are forced to leave their country, in consequence of The 27th Article of the Liw of 12th JaouarY of this year, anti partly as furious demagogues, partly as tools of the Ex-Emperor, who exchanging their ituportaut parts for the pilgrim's staff, arc so hum bled as to he forced to seek protection and sue. roue among their enernies,—among those whom they heve u t ijustlylpersee"tited. Thus the avenging Nernesi,i performs her difee. It is the. his - .7'.lajesty, our high minded King, that tilt these persons in the second class •of the Lloval Ordi nance of Louis XVIII. of 24th July, 1815, and all thwe not therein named, who by the addition to the Act of Anmetity are placed on the same footing with them, shall be allowed an asylum in the Prussian States, when they ask it, and are provided with French passports, or with passports front. the Prussian Minister at Paris. Their abode is to be confined to the Duchy of Alagdebtog, the Principality of Halberstedt, the Duchy of Ponie rattle, and the 'Marches, exclusive of Berlin and Pot zd a in. But if there should appear any weighty reasons for it, some of the French fugitives, as exceptions from rite general rule, may be allowed to reside in other parts of the Prussian dominions, after hav ing first obtained the permission of the Prince Ctiancellor of State. On'tie 14th the first steam-boat of Mr. Hum phrey's was launched at Pichtisdorl, near Span eian it is called the Princess Cluttlotte.of Prussia. Rosie, SEPT.

COTTON TWIST. esterday WAS oppointea for a Meeting of Bri tish Ma au fo.ctitrers to be held at the New London Tavern, Chenpside, to take into consideration the Lest 111(.3115 of prohihiting the exportation of Cotton Twist to the Continent, which butt beer already attcoded with such fatal consequences to the interest, 0f this cowitry. The Meeting wit , a') thinly attended, owing to the short notice that a I been given, and alsO on account of the want of unanimity in the trade, that the business. wu postptmed to a future day. There can be nr, doubt,- that the subject in question is most irn rotting, as it regards the prosperity of that va luable branch of trade arising out of British matotractures, and more especially in relation to the 'Awning part of the community de pedent on the sevetal Cotton-Matmfactorio throorhout the kingdom. The question is ad mitted even by the most intelligent of tin trade lobe an extremely delicate one on various acconnts. At present there are thousands at workmen out of employ in the tnattnfactories, oc casioned by the circumstance of immense quanti ties of cotton yarn or twist being exported to the Cout inear, thereby enabling the foreign mon facturers to make their own cotton goods, to the Prol ih.tion of B: it ish manufactures. Thes e are evils which call aloud for immediate remedy; but if a heavy duty were laid on the cotton twist to operate as a prohibitory duty, there are those of the trade who consider the effect to be, that we rAt - 1 reloce t e rfflei ; zner to the necessity of the raw,material of cotton wooll B mi In spin it titemsel.es. Thi - s they eau eas,ly do, hav ing been abandautly supplied from Englund with the best of maehincry for that purpose. Nor i s this all: the fore,l„nn governments, perceiving the intentions of England towards eVeking the pros perity of the continental manufacturer, may deem' it expedient to lay a prohibitory duty on all-Bri tish manufactured goods, whieb would leave this country in a worse state than it is at present. A petition from Manchester is now . before Govern ment, Rraying relief on the subject. it sets, forth the distress of the trade from the lowest work man to the manufacturer ‘: not only are ihousuds upon Thousazds entirely out of employ, but of those who have work, their earnings do not exceed As. ad. or ss. a week. The best weavers are paid atter that tate. The division in tire trade is chiefly occasioned-by a considerable part of it haring en gaged in the exportation of cotton twist; and these persons having had orders to execute for a long time hark, have flourished exceedingly at the expence of their cotemporaties and the labour ing community. Hull has been the principal port flour whence the shipments to the Continent have been made, and it is ascertained that 20 tons of twist hare been exported for one of cotton goods; and it the same system is continued, the trade of British manufacturers triti,t shortly entirely cease. Whatever plan is adopted for the improvement of this branch of our commerce, we trust it will he one that will not he unmindful of the interests or the labouring manufacturer. WHIMSICAL OCCURRENCE. A Mr. 13., a young Gentleman of athletic ap pearance; and the sini of a respectable resident of the county of Wexfned,had rettwned from eibroild, fee days before the robber, Captain Grat, and his comrades, were lately taken Killoughrim wood, and in the gallantry of youth he joined the narty which succeeded in apprehending those des peradoes. A few clays after this transaction (while it was yet supposed that Grant had effected hi s escape) Mr. 8., the young Gentleman alluded lA, was riding in the unfrequented part of the country; near Ferns, aimed with a CLISC Pit pistols, in a waist belt under his coat, when it coining on to rain heavily, he- took shelter in a farm-house ; when, on titkiug off Ilia coat and exhibiting his pistols, some persons there fancied they recognized the supposed fugi tive, Captain Grant, to whose whiskers Mr. B.'s bore a strong resetnblance ; find as in re spect to size, &c. he answered the description of that noted offende r , these honeit rustics determin ed to take him into custody, and for that purpose, leaving their prey at •a snug fire, they went out, and soon collected a party of their neighbours, with such weapons as .they could collect. On surrounding the house, the most dating Of them held a council of war on .the best mode of apprehending this terrible 'Grant ; but it being etensideted a for turn hope to those who would first make the attempt, and in short no one being hardy enough to enter and " bell the cat," one or two of them, good marksmen; proposed to fire through t h e window et, his legs and arms, while he,sat at and dills, by. disabling him, insure his tuon-f esistance ; but this was over-listed by others, • who feared lest an unlucky ball might prove Mortal, and thus deprive them of the glory of ;asking Grant alive. At this rime the poor woman Of the house, overhearing What they were saying, rrtu irt, and clapping her hand, begged of Mr.13..f0r God's sake not to make any gght in her house, but go out quietly and surrender, or fight for his life as well 'as he could. Mr. B. thinking the woman this tracked, starred up and seized his pistols, wise ') she ttgain shrieked out, " Oh, Captain Grant ! Csptain Grant ! for the love of God don't fight in house, or I and my children, will he all mur dered." This exclamation immediately.convinceff 13. that lie was mistaken for Grant, and beat ing a parley, he surrendered himself to the parry, which by this time had considerably increased. After securing his arms, they conducted hint t prisoner to Ferns, amidst the shouts and re joicings of the peasantry, who crowded to get a view of this desperate Grant. In this condition 11r. B. was brought heir a very respectable Gentleman, who put several questions to him, and to which he,- having been abroad for many y ears , was not able accurately to reply, and was- totally ;it a loss to know any of the occurrences that of late years had taken place in that neighbourhood; ,0 that this Worthy Gentleman really joined with he people in concluding that the prisoner was Gratit,' and he sent for A neighbouring Magistrate to assist in the eXclroinalion and committal' of the prisoner. This Magistrate accordingly attended, impressed also with a belief that they had Grant ;it custody, when on approaching the house he iaw a horse standing there, ready saddled, and on tieing . informed that that was the horse which Grant rode, he exclaimed, " Why that is B.'s !wore which the fellow has stolen :" hut on :en tering the room wheee the prisoner was, he im mediately recognised his friend Who. was in stantly discharged, laughing most heartily at the adventure, though he certainly ran a very great risk of being shot by the inexperienced populace. (Trish Paper.) LamtATURE AND THEATataus OF GERMANY. VIENNA, SEPT. 13.—Our literature is extent i►g itself, and 'air Literati are forming connections with those of the North of Germany. The " General Journal of Literature" is distinguished by its excellent criticisms, and is as complete as any work of the kind. Among the works that have latply appeared, mention is made of the dramatic poetry of Count Ferdinand tie Paefy. M. Furst has also published letters upon the literature of Denmark, concern ing a curious an& well reasoned critique on the DaniA Poets, from Milberg to Herman Wessel. Our t►►eatres are always crowded, and for some time back we have seen none but foreign actors. The Opera is sensibly on the decline; our• female singers are not of the first order, and our male singers are not above mediocrity. There is a lso a great scarcity of new pieces, and the Man teau Rouge (Red Cloak) of Kotzebue ,has not had much success. We have be'ert obliged to have re course to Our aucicnt sources.

He knew many prkoners to have received a good character who he was well acquainted were. old offenders. - James Dwyer was convicted of .picking. a Gen tleman's pocket of a silk handkerchief. The Gen tleman Whose pocket was picked refused to come forward, but the officer:who • saw the prisoner nibbling, completely made out the case. Mary Adams and Elizabeth Goodman were in. dieted for stealing a watch from George Thessle man, a Get man, and professor of languages and mathematics, who was induced to accompany the prisoners to their lodgings. Goodman snatched at his watch and ran away, followed by Adams, leaving. him in the house alone.: Goodman -was found Guilty, and Adams Acquitted. • YGLICE INTELLfIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SINGUL.:►tt case of MURDCR.—Yesterday was brought up, on a charge of murder, Jahn Richards, hillier the follokving circumstances :—Pat rick Des mond swore that his son, John Desmond-, worked as. a blacksinith, between Seven and eight years since, at a shop in Park -lane, in company with the above Richards -; that some little quarrel aris ing between them, the prisoner struck him 'on the bead with one of their working tools so violently, that atter Desmond had .been in St. George's Elespital 16 days he died.

Mr. pas sel, the gate4iceper, stated, the prisoners came , and knocked violently at the gate; be opened the wicket and asked their business ; they said they wanted to see a prisoner of the name of Smith, and were forging themselves in . : Witness told them they could nut be admitted Without an order front a Magistrate, and was closing the wicket gate Against them, when they attempted by force to enter; but a turnkey came to witness's assistance; t h e y s ucceeded et length in shutting the wicket, a t which the prisoners kept kicking anti pushing to force it open, swearing, if they were not ad mitted, they would bring .as many persons with thein its would level the prison to.the foundation, which the Governor being made aCqUainted with, caused them to be secured, and . breugist here for examination. During their examination they be haved with much insolence , Forest declaring he h a d as much influence as the Magistrate himself, and that he would not let the case rest here, as he was determined to bring it before the House of Commons,(A. laugh).--The Magistrate informed the prisoners, as it was their intention to go to prison , he should gratify them, but that they should leave •the choice to him of the prison they were to go to ; that instead of sending them to join their friend Smith in the House of Coffee . - don he should commit them to Clerkenwell.

ROBBERIES ON- THE THAMES.— x esterday Thomas was summoned to answer the complaint of Messrs. Howell and Nelson, the Water Bailiffs, who stated, that of late the most frequent and daring depredations had brio committed upon the River. Many of these it was impossible to detect; and the difficulty generally - arose from the number of fishing boats which were kept upon the River unnumbered and unmarked, and of which descrip- tion was the defendant's., The latter denied the charge, and stated, that if his boat were pioperly 'examined it would be found to have upon it both the name and number. Perseveiing in this statement, another investiga tion was determined upon, and the defendant for the present 'discharged. - The Loan MAYOR then ordered, that all the boats upon the River be brought to Lambeth, where they should each be marked anew, in a conspieunas place, in.the presence of the Under . Bailiff. His Lordship added, that he had had it long in contemplation to establish a regular police upon the River, and this he trusted he should shortly be enabled to effect. A watch-house he proposed should'he erected—and the watchmen, who Should be stout persons, and of approved character, should also be furnished each with a blunderbuss: By this means he trusted that the evils so generally'existing might be. cured.
