FRANMYORT, APRIL 10.-The Grand Duke of Baden has given full liberty to the Catholics of Pforzheim for the exercise of their religion.- -iiitherto their worship was only tolerated, but the conduct of the Catholics has induced the Prince to issue a most honourable decree in their favour. lie hopes, he says, that his Catholic subjects will see .in this mark of favour a new reason to distinguish themselves- by their religious sentiments, and by the practice of every virtue. Other Protestant Princes shew dispositions fa vourable to the Catholics. A Catholic Church is building at Coburg, and the Catholic Pa rish there will have a resident Clergyman. Churches for the Catholics are building also tlt Bremen, at St. GUarshousen (Duchy of Nassau), and at Darmstadt ; the Grand Duchy of Hesse and Nassau contribute to the ex pence of the two latter.

At Valla dolid, the Royalist Volunteers have personally refused w obey the Ordinances for their - regulation. In the Asturias t*re are great disorders ; the persecutions continue almost every where; they have refusol to receive the new intendants of police sent from Madrid. The people every where show great ripugnance to the new laws; at 3ladrid they are much dissatisfied with the sentences condemning wretches to death for robberies above the value of five sous, while justice was so long blind to the greatest crimes.—A paper printed both in French and Spanish is in circulation at Madrid, containing the treaty between France and Spain. This treaty stipulates that the King of France shall leave 50,000 troops in Spain, unless he has need of them for his own defence: the King of Spain on his side may send the troops away if he thinks them- no longer necessary to main tain tranquillity. As a reason for the intended departure of the.French garrison, it is said that General Bourmont has ex press instructions not to divide his troops. It is not known why he has made another arrangement. The School of Medi cine has been re-organized; eight of the most able Professors are replaced by men less capable, but whose political opinions are more approved. T he Prince of Cassano, Ambassador from the King of Naples, has been presented. It is affirmed that all the remaining Royalist troops are to be disbanded. The departure of the gardes du corps is still deferred. Gensd'arm es are stationed all round Aranjuez, who suffer nobody to enter; the carriages and muleteers are obliged to go a great way abut to continue their journey.

BRIJSSELS, APR' 6.—By a decision of the Alinister' for Colonial AGirs, dated the 13th, the list of in scription for the Society of Commerce of. the Netherlands is closed. The following are the sums subscribed in various cities': Amsterdam - 34 millions Ghent . - 2 millions Rotterdam, above 11 ditto Antwerp, above 16 ditto Middleburg - - 2 ditto - Ostend- - - 1 ditto At Bruges, Tournay, &e. the sums subscribed are consi derable. At Antwerp one house subscribed 1.500,000 florins, a second one million, a third 840,000, a fourth 800.000, and fif t h 500,000, and several for 2,3, 400,000 florins. The amount of the slims inscribed in the space of 3t; hours in the cities named by his Majesty's decree is estimated at one hundred millions of florins. Such a result demonstrates two things: Ist. The enormous amount of capital in this kingdom ; and, 2dly, The general confidence in this great operation. If we • may give credit to some letters front Germany, the day is not distant when the Great Powers will recognize the political independence of G reece , w hi c h w il l b e create d i nto a kingdom.

On the 12th April, the lightning struck a house near the church at Eeeloo, passed through it from top to bottom, with out deranging any thing, and entered a school kept by a Mr. Ledeganck. Dreadful cries immediately rose, and Ledeganck, pale as death, came out of the school followed by 50 or 60 chil dren. They were followed by persons carrying five children that were stifled, and two killed, who were immediately sur rounded by the mothers of the unhappy victims, when their despair filled the air with the most distressing cries. One of those killed is a boy of fourteen years of age, and the other a girl of seventeen. Two out of the five others are recovered, but three arc still in danger. HAMEU nclr, APRIL 9.—A Convention has been made be tween the Government of the King of Great Britain, and the free city. of Hamburgh, to the effect, that for the future the ships or both parties, under 60 tons burden, shall be recipro_ cally exempt, in the ports of each respectively, from the obliga tion of taking pilots on board, and paying pilotage, and his - Majesty has issued accordingly his Orders in Connell to this effect, agreeably to an Act of Parliament, passed. in the fourth 'year of his Majesty's reign, entitled " An - Act authorising his Majesty, under certain circumstances, to regulate the duties and drawbacks of Customs on goods imported or exported in foreign vessels, and to exempt certain ships from pilotage."- BErmix, APRIL 10.—The Berlin Missionary Society has now above 300 members, and continues to receive an increase of its members from all parts of the Monarchy.

A 3114TERDAM, Amur, 11.—Accounts have been received from Batavia, of the 13th December, from which we learn that the Padries in the island of Sumatra had had the boldness, during the absence of Lieutenant-Colonel Haaf, to-recommence hostilities, and to attack some districts occupied by us. They were, however, repulsed with great bravery by the Nether land troops under the command of Major Laemlin ; and this officer pursuing his advantage attacked the Padries in their for. tified posts at Kapan and Biero, from which they were driven sword in hand on the 26th and 211th of . September. The loss of the enemy was considerable. Great praise is due to the o.ffi, cers and troops employed in this service, and-his Excellenci 1 the Governor-General has testified his unqualified approbation. The loss on our side is very small. This defeat of the Padries may have the most salutary ef fects; it must have greatly increased their fear of our troops, and have convinced them that the absence of the Lieutenant- COlonel Commander of the eipedition, was of no advantage to them. It will likewise increase the confidence of our Allies, which will be still further strengthened by the arrival of Lieut. Col. naafi, with the supplies of troops and ammunition that ha has taken with him. Some companies of infantry provided with every thing neces sary, have heen sent by the British Government in Bengal to the coast of Sumatra; to strengthen and fortify the Company's settlement at Natal. As the whole island of Sumatra is now ceded to the Netherlands, we learn with particular pleasure that Lieut.-Col. Ilaaff, on a journey into the interior of that important island, found it not destitute of population, and at the same time properly cultivated and adapted to a ll kinds of produce. Ile also found traces of an internal legal Government, nay, even of a pretty general local Government—the most cer tain proofs of an advanced degree of civilization. This officer has given a-verbal account of these and other particulars, has lately returned from Batavia to Padang with troops to complete his military force and some young civil officers a c q u ai nte d w i t h the langnage, manners, and with the regulations in force in Java.

ON GREECE. Ten thousand Turks, called in to the defence of the Peloponnesus, refused to surrender the trust confided to their good faith. Such is the original title of the Grand Seignior to the pos session of reeve. Oppressions, rapines, spolia tions, the carrying away of women, young girls, and children, the destruction of temples, the de vastation of the fields, the burning of towns, and death in every form,—these, for nearly four cen turies, have been the fresh titles by which the Em perors of Constantinople have maintained them selves in the possession of that classic land of civilization and liberty. It was supposed that the Princes of Christen dom regarded with a favourable eye the resolu tion taken by the Greeks, for the twentieth time since their slavery to resort to the last m eans h e ft t o a people to shake off the yoke of tyranny. But the Cabinets of Europe have re futed this imputation as an insult ; they have abstained from all salutary advice, from any ge-- nerous assistance. Their conduct need not, per haps, excite surprise, for it is not to afford assist . Once to the people• that they take up arms, and negociate: and who does not know that the le gitimacy Turk is 'prot e ct e d aga i n st the of faith of thee Grand'Clltl stians of the East? Not less jealous of the honour of his country than diplomatists are of the .honour of the ca binets of Christendom, a Greek, NicoLo PouLo, proves,in a short•patnn-hlet ju s t published, that aloneby Greeks was, conceiv e d the glorious design of withdrawing the worshipp e rs of the Cross from the tyranny-of the worshippers of the Crescent Without subsidies, without. foreign soldiers, com pelled to contend not only against the Turks, but• also against the secret auxiliaries which the followers of Maliomet possess among Christian Princes, they owe to themselves alone the en franchisement of the Peloponnesus, and of those islands and provinces whence the Turks have been expelled. A nother Procida, the Greek Ituto as, born about 1753, at Valastinos, a small towu of Thessaly, was the first author of this glorious rising. After having acquired considerable literary attain ments, and obtained by commerce a large for tune, lie went to Bucharest to meditate on the means of delivering his unfortunate and beauti ful country from the Mussulman yoke. Full of energy and activity, enjoying great consideration among the most distinguished men of his nation, and possessing, in the highest degree, a corn mand of language, he was of opinion that the best mews of giving the insurrection a general and uniform impulse was to forth an extensive • secret association on the Continent and in the islands. Soon Bishops and Archbishops, rich merchants, men of letters, land and sea officers, the elite of the Greek nation, and several stran gers devoted to the cause of humanity and civi lization, entered into this society. Powerful Turks, among others the famous PASSWAN OGLOU, were inrolled in it; for enlightened men of every religion are the natural enemies of those also_ lute which threaten the fortunes, the liveS of all, and under which virtue, fidelity, obedience, and silenc e are not in less peril than complaint and revolt. After the foun dation of the - Association had been laid, RutoAs, to his misfortune, went to settle at Vienna, where he established a secret correspondence with his co-associates, published a Greek Journal for the instruction of his countrymen, and translated se veral French works into modern Greek. He compose 4 in a - popular style, short poems calcu lated to nourish in the minds of the young Ilel lenes a hatred of slavery, and love of glory ; he prepared and caused to be engraved a large map of Greec e , i n w hich all the ce l e b rate d t owns an d places are (lesivaced by their anci en t, a s we ll- as their modern name.. Whilst engagcd in these occupations, a perfi dious Greek denounced RumAs and eight of his friends to the Austrian Government. This Go vernment was not menaced by any .of these gene rous men who, at the risk of their lives and for tunes, were preparing the deliverance of their countrymen ; nor could it reproach them with any crime. In the time of the crusades, they would have been placed at the head of the phalanxes, armed against the oppressors of Christians in the East ; but, in 1798, they were arrested in the capital of a Christian State, and by order of its Government, sent to Constantino ple to be delivered Up to the ferocious agents of the Grand Seignior! Fortunately for these noble minded victims, their conductors, fearful that they might .be rescued by PAsswAN-OoLou, pre cipitated them into the. Danube. This death at least spared . them the frightful torments which awaited them at Constantinople. - C.

OWEN. (Continued from THE SUN of Saturday.) External and .4rtfficial Circumstances Improvable ad byinitum. The external and artificial circumstances, or the social arrangements, devised, arranged, put in practice, and controuled, by minds conscious of and properly understanding the first, and truly divine principle of legislation, that the character and conduct of man is, through life, the effect re sulting from the combined operation of the pecu liar constitution of each person, and the character and conduct of society at the time he lives—the multiplied powers of the latter always greatly surpassing the individual influence of the for- mcr—are those upon which Mr. Owen wholly relies for the great and permanent improvement which he proposes.—ln his various works he has fully and ably developed his p r i nc i p l es; an d un derthethree general heads of " the formation of character," " the creation of wealth," and 44 the new social structure to be founded and reared thereon," he has thrown out lights upon the philosophy of the human mind, upon 4he powers and operative influence of science, and upon the nature and rational object of political .economy, which will serve to brighten times to come, and gladden future generationc. I The influence of education, in forming human character, has not at any period, however (lark, been considered as a subject for dispute : from the age of Solomon, the wisest of Kings, to the present day, the necessity of training up the child in the way that it should go, has been uni versally recognized. All the facts and expe rience of the world concur, to furnish one great and irresistible body of evidence, attesting the undeviating results which follow from education ; and while those facts and that experience stand undeniably before the world, to prove that each peculiar system of training will, when co-ope rating with natural circumstances, stamp a gene ral character upon nations, every individual of our species evinces, in the watchful solicitude and tender care which he bestows upon his off spring, the confidence which he places in the ulti mate fruits to be derived therefrom. The universal admission of any specific effect, naturally leads the mind into an inquiry as to the cause or causes from which such effect is de ducible—the fruits of education being apparent, the mental powers of man have been directed to investigate the nature and quality of the soil from which such productions have emanated—it has been found susceptible of receiving and of fructi fying seeds, whetiter of good or of evil,to an unlimited extent ; and it has likewise been found to yield a return necessarily proportion e d to the culture which has been bestowed, allowing for trifling varieties resulting from local peculiarities ; it appears that any general character which is not inconsistent with the internal and natural cir cumstances of the human being, may be impressed upon him by the force of external agencies— from this discovery, which seems to flow neces sarily from a fair analysis 'of our nature, a great advance is made towards the amelioration of the human condition—the power of forming univer sally good characters, seems to be the first and most essential step towards the attainment of ge neral and individual happiness ; and the experi ments which have lately been made, and those which are at this moment in progress, lend a con firmation strong to the hope of its uniform prac ticability. The creation of wealth, by the combined powers of industry and science, involves within its circle a mass of circumstances for the promo tion of human happiness, each of which, like the diverging rays emanating from the great fountain of light and heat, will send joy and abundance into the lap of misery, and diffuse amongst the children of earth, gladness, peace, and content— it will aid the progress of morality by removing temptation to evil, it will assist the progress of science, by multiplying the agents of research— the social structure, or the system of political economy which wisdom would build, when fur nished with such materials as general good cha racter, and unlimited real wealth, would differ much from any which has yet been devised for the advantage of the human race ; and the combi nation of circumstances which would rest upon such pillars, Might defy the power of time to weaken it. Yes—the system founded upon a knowledge of our nature, and of'the means of satisfying the demands and wishes.of that nature must progres sively advance in a course of unceasing improve ment, and as we can fancy no termination to the progressive march of knowledge, so we can con. ceive no limits or boundary to the improvement of our species. The Means of Ameliorating the Human Condi tion to be found in the Arrangement of Cir.. cumstances as proposed by Mr. OWEN, which Arrangements will be found to be derived from a Knowledge of Human Nature s and to be *consistent with the present State of human At. tainments. That the social condition of man has not hi therto been such as to furnish him in any part of the known world, or at any period of his past history, with those advantages which his nature desires, and which it is capable of obtaining, is a position which will he conceded by all classes, sects, and parties ; that an amelioration is loudly and justly demanded by the unanimous voice of mankind will be equally admitted by all. How is the amelioration to be effected, and by what means are the desired advantages to be obtain ed ? Various and innumerable have been the modifications of society at different periods, and in different parts of the world ; and it would seem that human intelligence has been nearly exhausted in the unsuccessful attempts to create and to secure the well-being of our species —that the course hitherto pursued has been founded in error, we are tempted by its failure to believe ; and, with Stewart, we are disposed to assert, that by the study of human nature :, alone, we can expect to obtain the solid and permanent improvements which we seek. With him we believe, that the edifice of society can be sub stantial, can be durable, can be beauticul, in pro portion only as it is reared upon the principles which are to be found in the constitution of mankind. The new views of human nature which hare been unfolded by Mr. Owen, and which remain uncontradicted by any fact, or by any fair rea soning, are the foundations upon which his system of social arrangements is reared. His philoso phical researches, both speculative and experi mental, into the natur e o f th e h uman b e i ng —hill practical experience of the results to be obtained by the course which he has adopted in the train ing and treatment of that being—his correct. knowledge of the power of science, and of the extent to which the useful arts may be rendered available to the human species, has enabled him to combine a form of social arrangements, which, under the name of " The New System," or the . science of 7hurrian happin e s s , d eman d s , a nd W ell may claim the serious attention of the ruling authorities of these realms, who may be disposed to promote the amelioration of -the condition of mankind. Should his system be found to have its basis in truth, should it be found consistent in all its details, should his analysis of human nature be found correct, and his views of society consistent. with the principles of that nature, and with the present state of human attainments, then may We hope that the permanent and effective ameliord tion of the human condition is not so distant, unattainable, as it has been sometimes repre sented. Then may we look wi,h confidence to the slow but certain march of time, for securing to mankind those advantages which nature, aided by the lights of reason and of knowledge, would bestow, but which the darkness and errors of past centuries have hitherto withheld. I shall conclude with another quotation from Stewart, a philosopher whose mind has never wandered into the regions of romance, and whose judgment to cool, as his intelligence is pene trating " The long reign of error in the world, a nd the influence it maintains even in an age of libe ral inquiry, far from being favourable to the sup position, that human reason is destined to be for ever the sport of prejudice and absurdity, de monstrates the tendency which there is to per manence in established opinions and in esta blished institutions, and promises an eternal sta bilitN to true philosophy, when it shall once have acquired the ascendant, and when proper shall be employed to s u p port i t b y a more per fect system of education."(Siewart's Element°, part 2, sec. 1, ut supra.) means -- From the LO NDO N GAZETTE, April 17.

ConNs.—The hardness upon the toes, and other parts of the feet, are in general too familiar to most of our readers to require description. The cure, however, will be necessary to dwell a little upon. When corns become large and painful, they ought to be pared closely down with a sharp knife, or razor, and the centre hard point detached without giving pain. —Previous to this operation, the feet should be kept in warn' water for half an hour, in order to soften the parts, to render them more free to the knife, a plaster composed of equal parts of compound galbanum plaster, and plaster of ammoniac, with mercury spread upon linen, applied round the toe, and conti nued upon it for a fortnight, when it should be taken off; the feet again bathed for half an hour in warm wa t er , and the corns again cut, when a similar plaster should be applied. Some have found great success in merely cutting the corns, as above described, and keeping their feet in warm water every night for a month, cutting the corns whenever they appeared ; but wear ing no plaster. It is needless to mention, that tight shoes must not be worn.—(ifedical AdLertiser.)
