`lt; • LITERARY NOTICE. FRENCH MELODIES : the Poetry by Eusaziexua Rocuz, Esq. : the Symphonies and Accompaniments by Mademoi selle JAMS. No. I. It has been lately the fashion to introduce the MELontEs of several Nations into this country. liEtmEw MELODIES, composed by Messrs. BRA HAM and Mr. NATHAN, to words written by Lord ByaoN, were popular in their day ; but those Melodies, like the Poetry that ,accompanied them, were avowedly original compositions, and only Hebrew . 'in , name. ANACREON MOORE has introduced many latsu MELODIES, which he has vuriched by the effusions of his own vivid and luxuriant Muse. IVELsn M E:LODI ES have also been published by Mr. PA-Ray, and rendered highly interesting by beautiful Poetry, written by Mrs. lIEMANS, who may fairly be styled the 'CAMBRIAN MUSE, and who, if not the highest, ranks with the highest female writers of the day. Original Airs of Scotland, accompanied by words from BURNS, the extraordinary Genius -of that country, have also been rendered popular by the beauty of the compositions and the talents of the Poet. We have now before us FRENCH MELODIES, which are not only pleasing in themselves, but have the advantage of some excellent verses by Mr. ROCHE. Mr. ROCHE, if we are rightly in formed, is the Editor of a Daily Journal, distin guished for loyalty, spirit, and patriotism, and particularly for its zeal and perseverance in sup port of our National Church. It has been said of the French that they have no Native Music ; but this selection by Mr. Itocnc is a proof to the contrary, for these me lodies are marked by spirit and tenderness, ac ,cording to the subject with which they are con nected. Besides these qudlities, one of the airs, -which is adapted to words intended to rouse the feelings of THE GREEKS, is of an animated and heroic character. We have not at present room for much of the Poetry, but we submit the fol lowing stanzas as a specimen of the poetical -talents and sensibility of Mr. ROCHE :-- .. SONG. Oh ! are they fled, those early blissful dreams, Those dreams of love, whose raptures never cloy ! The rolling year with changing seasons teems, Must love, alas ! but one short Spring enjoy 'Tis the bright dawn of a tempestuous day, 'Tis the faint thrill of echo's dying sigh; Again the dawn will smile, the sigh decay, Love lives but once, and dies—for e'er to die! The other•translations, or imitations, are writ-, 'ten with , ease,-feeling, and elegance. The sym phonies and accompanyments by Mademoiselle ../Asts, are incharacter with the original composi tions, and display considerable taste and judg ment. This first number of the work before us may be considered as a very promising sample of what is to follow, and is very creditable to the =taste of -French Composers, from a very distant period of their 'history.- The present work is embellished with two lithographic engravings, well designed and skilfully executed, one repre .senting ENBI ,QUATRE on the eve of a battle, when about to .visit his adored GABRIELLE, and 'the other a moonlight scene,• illustrative of a beautiful song entitled THE SPELL. The work 'is well -calculated .for -the parlour of a musical SHIP-OWNERS' SOCIETY DINNER. The Anniversary Dinner of the Ship-owners' Society took place on Saturday, at the City of London Tavern. The Earl of LIVERPOOL took the Chair, as President of the Society. His Lordship was supported on the right by Mr. Can ning, and on the left by Sir Charles Long, Bart., M.P. Amongst the distinguished members of the Society present, we noticed Wm. Manning, Esq. M.P. ; Thomas Wilson, Esq. M.P.: Alexander Robertson, Esq. M.P. ; Mr. Alderman Wood, M.P. ; Mr. Alderman Brydges, M.P. ; Mr. Alderman Thompson, M.P.; Geo. Lyall, Esq. (Chairman of the Corn. mittee); Benjamin Shaw, Esq., &c. The dinner was very numerously and respectably attended ; and the entertainment was served up in the style of excellence usual to this establish ment. On the removal of the cloth, Messrs. Broadhurst, Taylor, Goulden, and Master Smith, wlso, throughout the even ing, contributed their vocal talents to promote the hilarity of the company, sung, " Non Nobis Doosine ;" after which the fol .lowing toasts were given : " The King" (three times three). Great applause.—' save the King." " The rest of the Royal Family."—Glee. " The Duke of York and the Army."—" How merrily we 'live that soldiers be." " Lord Melville and the Navy.," Rule Britannia." Lord LIVERPOOL rose.—ln proposing the next toast 1 shall - trespass but for a few words on your attention. I have often had the opportunity and honour of meeting you on similar oc eas,oas, and under circumstances far less auspicious and cheer ing than the present.—(llear, hear !)—I now meet you at a time in which I may safely say you are partaking in the general prosperity I .of the country.—(Applause.)—Of that pro sperity feel the importance, not for your sake, only, hut for '.the sake of the general interests of the community, of which you ..are members; because I never can forget that the shipping in terests of this country is the main pillar of its strength, its greatness, and its glory.—(Cheers.)—l beg to propose— " Prosperity to the Shipping Interests of the United King dom," (three times three).—" Life's like a ship in constant motion." dr. LYALL rose to propose the health of the Noble Lord, who did the Society the distinguished honour to preside at their annual festival that day. He was happy to have this opportu nity, on his own part, and that of the Society, to return to that Noble person their grateful acknowledgments for the uniform kindness and attention which he at all times showed to the in terests of this Society, through which they had been released of those restrictions, the removal of which, as far as circum stances would allow, with a due attention to other interests con nected with them, had effected so great and general an im provement. The Noble Lord had also manifested a disposition to afford every facility in his power to advance those useful oh - jects of the Society, which they may have had to carry, not in hia immediate province, but in other departments of the Go varnment. This Society would never sufficiently attest the extent of the obligations it owed his Lordship. He could only say, that his services were deeply felt, and gratefully appre -ciated by its members.—(Much applause.)—He would, with - out further preface, propose the health of their Noble Presi dent, the Earl of Liverpool. This toast was received by the company with loud cheers, which lasted for several minutes. When the cheering had begun to subside, The Earl of LrvEitroor. rose and addressed the company to the following effect :—Gentlemen, I beg to return you my sincere thanks for the honour you have done ine. I should be ashamed In this society -to say any thing that I would not also say in any other company in the world, but I have always declared it to -be a part of my political creed, that, amongst all tile great, interests of the country, the inte. rests of navigation are the most prominent and important.— (Applause.)—This is what I have always said, and firmly maintained, though I am well aware that some have. thought I did rot fully appreciate the length to-which they carried their opinions,spractically applied to this subject. .I have always _ held that though it was the duty of Government to.keep an equal balance among the great interests of the country, not showing favour to any one to the prejudice of the others, yet . if there was any one isefavour of which the balance-ahould in dine—if there was any interest that should be cherished, fa voured, and protected, it was the interest of navigation_ (Great applause.)—lt is now the object of Government to take advantage of the present period of peace to remove the incon veoient restrictions that have, from -mistaken views, been im posed or. the commerce and navigation of the country, and :t is equally our object to extend that commerce and navigation to every part of the world to which it can properly be extended: — (Applause.)—But, Gentlemen, in pursuing this object, wa have carefully regarded the just rights and feelings of others. ." God We have done no act that was not founded in justice, and, at the same time, perfectly compatible with our engagements to other Powers, and as much for the benefit of mankind at large as of these dominions to which we belong. His Lordship sat down amidst the general applause of the company. Mr. MANNING, 31. P., rose to propose the health of another Cabinet Minister, who had done the Society the honour to fa-, your it with his presence that day, and of whom he would say what he sincerely -believed, that there was no person more -strongly attached 'to the Naval and Commercial interests of this country.—(Hear, hear;}-He has proved this by the at-' tendon and success with which he has devoted his exertions to promote these, as well as the other interests of the country.— (Applause.)—ln whatever new treaties had been, or might he formed, whilst he held the seals of office, he was satisfied all these interests would be duly consulted.—( Hear, hear!)—lt was . gratifying ,to them, as merchants, to have heard the First Minister of this country pronounce so favourable a sentiment towards this Society ; it must have excited a proud feeling within them, and was alike grateful to their feelings, and ac vantageous to their interests.--(Applause.)—The Shipping In terest had certainly a pre-eminent claim on the- support of the country—in peace anclan war they contributed to its glory and its strength: in peace, by the commercial intercourse which Great Britain carried on with all parts of the world ; and in war, by being the nursery of that navy which displayed the valour and sustained the greatness of the people of these coun tries. He concluded by proposing the health of the Right Honourable George Canning and the rest of his Majesty's Ministers. The applause which followed this toast was enthusiastically maintained for the longest period we recollect to have witnessed on any similar occasion. It was renewed with even greater force when the Right Honourable Gentleman rose to address the company. At length silence was obtained. Mr. CANNING then spoke to the following purport :—" Gen tlemen, I rise to return my cordial thanks on behalf of myself and my colleagues, for the honour you have conferred upon us. It is true, as it was well observed by the Hon. Gentleman, whose kindness led him to propose my health in terms so flat tering to me—it is a satisfactory circumstance belonging to this fine country alone, that the Ministers of the Crown can mix with their countrymen on occasions of this description, and freely communicate information on matters of the greatest in terest with perfect sincerity, and a complete absence of all dis guise. There is nothing at this moment in the policy of Eng ' land, whether external or internal, that will not bear the cru cible, and that will not come forth brighter on every examina tion.—.(Applause.)—Gentlemen, for a long time we were our selves under the impression that our commercial prosperity—the foundation of our national power—arose, in a great measure, from some mysterious combination, some artificia system, into the depth of which other nations, were not initiated. We must, therefore, not blame them if they have adopted a creed alto gether false in its principles, and altogether false in its conse quences. The time has now happily come when the favour able circumstances that surround us have given us the power to bring into operation the just and wise maxims of a sound, not a spurious, philosophy; and his Majesty's Government have been enabled gradually to carry into effect those legislative changes, by which the system of our commercial policy has been rendered of a plainer and more intelligible character. But we must not be surprised if other countries are not yet sufficiently advanced in their knowledge of this question to be thoroughly aware of the principles on which we are acting, nor if they should think we are only adopting a new mystery, and inviting them to follow us in a path which can lead only to the accom plishment of purposes exclusively eelfish.—(Hear, hear !) If it was difficult before, even for ourselves, to learn the secret by which we prospered, it is more difficult for us now to teach others the important truth, that we have prospered only by those natural mean; which Providence has been pleased to bestow upon us, and that every other nation con tains within itself a similar capacity of prosperity, which it is ,our wish and interest to see developed.—'Applause.)—While, -however, we cultivate the established relations of commercial ! intercourse subsisting between us and the other States in i .this part of the world, we are opening new opportunities for enterprize,in 'distant regions. The inexhaustible industry, the accumulated capital, tie irrepressible energies, of this country, carry it continually forward in search of new markets, and in duce-it to create and supply the wants of all mankind.—(Ap plause). If, in the train of our commerce, our national great ness were not also advanced, our feelings of pride and gratifica tion would be checked in their career.; but we know that there is not a sea on which the commercial flag of England now waves, where our naval superiority has not been established ; and we may feel assured, that every new field of commercial enterprise will become in time a scene of British valour, and a theatre of our naval glory.—( Great applause.) No Society has -contributed more to uphold the maritime power of this country ' than this, which I now have the honour to address. By such a Society it is therefore to me a matter of high gratification to be received with so much kindness. The Right Honourable Gentleman resumed his seat amidst very long continued acclamations. Mr. T. Wensox, M.P. said that he had been selected to propose the health of a Right Honourable Gentleman, the Pay master-General of -the Forces—a toast which he was satisfied would be extremely acceptable to the Society. They would bear in recollection the services he had rendered them, in the Committee of which he was Chairman, appointed to introduce alterations into those commercial and excise laws, which had been found inconvenient in their operation. * His conduct in the discharge of that duty was marked by gentlemanly deportment and by an anxious feeling to consult the interests of the Ship owners.—(Hear, hear !)—lt did happen, that laws relative to trade, which probably at an earlier period were not attended with any inconvenience, yet in the progress of time, and from the increase of commercial enterprise, became extremely so. It was to remedy this evil that the Committee had been appointed ; it had effected many improvements; it laboured zealously and usefully, and no member of it more so than its Chairman, whose health he begged to propose, and to whom he was glad to have an opportunity, on his own part and that of the Society, of rendering this tribute of their esteem and gratitude. (Applause.) Sir C. LONG begged to assure the Society that the Com mittee, whose conduct his Hon. Friend eulogised, originated with his Noble Friend (Lord Liverpool), and that the instruc tions which that Committee had received from the Noble Lord was principally to consider how they could best promote the ' commercial and shipping interest—(applause)—as far as was consistent with the just collection of the revenue. This object they endeavoured to accomplish, and it was to them an ex treme gratification if they succeeded in their endeavours, so as to promote the interest of the empire generally, and of that So ciety in particular, which he regarded as one of the most re spectable, influential, and important bodies in the country. Lord LIVERPOOL next proposed the health of—" The Vice Presidents." Mr. BUCKLE returned thanks on the part of the Vice-Presi dents. If it only devolved on him to offer his and their grate ful acknowledgments to the Noble Lord, and the other distinguished Gentlemen who that day favoured the Society with their company, they had further to convey the assurance of their gratitude for the very favourable sentiments they had ex pressed towards it, and for their approbation of its objects, and promise to promote, them.—(Hear, hear !) Mr. CILAPPEL also returned thanks on the part (as we un derstood) of the Vice-Presidents, and 'proposed the health of the Chairman of the Society (Mr. Lyall), who briefly returned thanks. " The City Members." Alderman Woon, in returning thanks, said that he had been connected With the City of London for thirty years, and with the Corporation of London fel. twenty. During that pe riod he had frequent opportunities of observing the attention which the Noble Lord who presided at their annual feitival that day, had rendered to the Port of London. He believed the same attention was extended to the other parts of the country —but as to the improvements in the port of London—for one measure—that respecting London Bridge—he felt personally obliged, in particular—(A slight laugh !) —to the Noble Lord. This measure could not be too highly praised—it was most im portant to the shipping interests—for what was the use of ship ping without modes of navigation ?—(Much laughter )—For this he begged again to say he was personally obliged to the Noble Lord, and he hoped to see other improvements intro duced into London, and the several large ports of the country that require them, for the purpose of a ffording facilities to commercial pursuits. Alderman BRVDGES and Mr. T. WILSON briefly returned thanks. Lord LevERPOOL next rose to propose a toast, which would be, and ought to be, received by that Society. The adventur ous life that those engaged in the naval service underwent, sub jected them to calamities, and to accidents that disabled them. It was the duty of those who were served by their spirit and their enterprise, to pity and relieve them. This consideration superadded a strong claim to that which the aged and the in.: firm always" had on charitable and feeling minds.—(Applause.) " The Seaman's Hospital:" 4 "rhe - Steward of the day." • Mr. B. Shaw returned thanks on the part of the Stewards. But two or three years ago disappointment hung upon commer cial prospects of this country. The vessel was becalmed in the waters, her flag was struck, hut now she rides triemphant through the waters, and-transports the 'superfluities of BFitain to the most distant parts of the globe. Her naval superiority had been established ; her commercial greatness was also ad vancing. " There is a tide in the affairs of men, Which, taken at the flow, leads on to fortune." England was now so situated, and would speedily float to com plete commercial prosperity, the best and surest foundation of national greatness. Lord LevElteoon proposed the " Bank of England," an Institution, of all others, the most conducive to-the permanent prosperity of the country. Mr. MAxii mo , (the Bank Director) briefly returned thanks on the part of the Bank. Lord Ll'7Elll'ool., before taking leave of the.company, said he was desirous of giving one •toast more—one he had often given, and one that should never be -forgotten, asit was Ore best and securest bulwark of all our power And greatnot e i " The Wooden Walls of Old England." Lord Liverpool and Mr. Canning (who were lothlty s cheered as they passed through the .room), as well as the greater part of the company, retired at a few minutes after ten o'clock. The utmost regularity and good order prevailed throughout the evening. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD, FRB. it City of Oxford' The fourth Council of William Slitter , in the Esq. Mayor of the said City, holden in County of Oxford. the Council Chamber of the said City, on Monday the 7th of Feb. 182$. The Mayor having laid before the House a Deed, dated the Ist instant, whereby the University have released and discharg ed this Corporation from their obligation of the 15th of May, 31st of Edward 111. and from all payments under it, and from all services and offerings on the day of St. Seholastica in lieu thereof, and have cancelled and annulled the said obligation for ever— Resolved unanimously, That the warmest acknowledgments of this House are due to the University for this act of grace and favour, important in itself, and rendered doubly acceptable by the manner in which it has been conferred. The Mayor having also laid before the House a note from the Rev. the Vice-Chancellor, wherein, after noticing the plea sure with which he transmitted the above instrument to the Mayor, he repeats his cordial wish that the most perfect har mony may ever subsist between the University and City— Resolved farther, that, highly sensible of the kind and con ciliatory disposition shewn by the Vice-Chancellor personally, ' and by the whole University collectively, towards the City upon this occasion, this House, whilst it testifies its hearty concur rence in the wish expressed by the Vice-Chancellor, records with sincere satisfaction its firm conviction, that - the prevailing good understanding between the two bodies cannot but be perma nently strengthened by the issue of the late communications, calculated as it is to confirm and perpetuate in the Citizens of Oxford the sentiments cf respect and attachment to the Uni versity. At the above Council, the sum of 1001, was voted towards building a new church in the parish of St, Clement, and 501. towards the improvements in Magdalen parish church. Wednesday last the sum of 2001. was voted in Convocation, from the University Chest, towards the rebuilding of St. Cle ment's church. ECCLESTASTICAL PREFERMENTS. - The Rev.

ROLLS' COURT, FED. IQ. MARIE V. C.I3IAC. This case, Which has been for some time In Chancery, and which has attracted more than ordinary interest from the station. of the parties -in society, came -on before the Master of the Rolls, for judgment, this evening. It appeared, in the pro gress of the cause, that the plaintiff, Mr. Marie, and the de fendant, Colonel Caniac (late of the Guards), married two sis ters, daughters to the late Mr. Winifere, and sisters to Mr. George Winifere, of Bottenhasu Park, in-Suffolk, also deceased. Mr. Marie married several years before his death, and .eontinued to reside with his wife, at her brother's house, up to that period. Mr. George Winifere died in October, 1314, and bequeathed, by a will, dated February, 1809, his large estates, conjointly, to both his sisters, with the proviso, that either dying unmarried, or with out children, the whole property should go to the survivor. The will was attested by three witnesses, but there was no attestation in the ordinary form to it, and a case was submitted to Sir Sa muel Shepherd, then Solicitor-General, to ascertain its validity; and in consequence of that opinion, the will was proved in th e Ecclesiastical Court, and administration granted Mrs. Marie and the present Mrs. Camac, then Miss Henrietta Winifere.— A deed was entered into the following year, between the sisters, by which they agreed to convey the whole of the estates to Trus tees, after paying the incumbrances, to secure to Mrs. Marie a moiety of the residue. This deed was executed in N0v.1815, and the object of the present suit was to compel a performance of its covenants on the part of Mrs. Camac. The objections raised by that lady, and her husband on her behalf, to the performance,: were first that Mr. Marie acquired an undue influence over her . brother, in inducing him to snake the will above alluded to. Se condly, that a suspicion was entertained that the will was forged, and that even if it were not, there was reason to suppose that some other will of a later date, altering the effect of these dispositions, had been made and suppressed by Mr. and Mrs. Marie; and, lastly, that Miss 11 enrietta Winifere executed that deed with out due consideration, and without the assistance of proper and sufficient legal advice. Miss Henrietta Winifere married Col. Caniac In 1321, and their marriage settlement was founded on the anterior agreement between her and Mr. and Mrs. Marie. Soon after Colonel Camac's marriage, he refused to abide by the condition of the agreement, and Mr. Marie filed the present bill to compel their performance. His. HONOUR the MasTEn of the ROLLS, after reciting the facts of the case, proceeded to observe, that the grounds set up in resistance to the performance of the contract were altogether nugatory and unavailing—with respect to the first point, that Mrs. Marie acquired an undue influence over her brother, in inducing him to execute the will in question, it must be observed that the will was made at least five years before his death, and that there was not evidence to shew that Mrs. Marie had at any time exercised such influence, or that testator was a person likely to be affected by it, and in that respect the defence had wholly failed. With regard to the second point, thecharge of forgery was evidently unsupported; at the first opening of the case, and; indeed, in the progress of the cause, it was alto gether abandoned as without the shadow of a proof, and the same insufficiency of evidence existed as to the probability of a subsequent will having been made and suppressed by Mr. and Mrs. Marie, and it was evident that Miss Winifere 's own im pression was that the will was genuine, from the fact of her hav ing taken Sir Samuel Shepherd's opinion upon it, and her sub sequent taking out of administration in the Ecclesiastical Court. As to the last point, that Miss Henrietta Winifere executed the deed between her and her sister, without due consideration, and the benefit of sufficient legal advice, that was equally groundless with the other attempts at justification. For-the fact was, that Miss Winifere was 27 years of age at the time of the execution of the-deed, and the evidence-in the cause skewed that she was attended by the Solicitor of tliefamily, who took her instruc tions on the subject, -and fully explained the nature and con tinence of the instrument previous to its ratification. This ,was further shewn, not Only by the evidence of other par ties, but by the lady's own letters, in which the subject was discussed in 1815. On this head 'there was the fullest proof to shew, that both the - parties to the deed were fully I aware of, and perfectly satisfied with its provisions, and that neither expressed any objection -to any part of it when it was read over in their presence, and executed by them on the 15th of August, 1315. The evidence spewed that Miss Winifere was not only competent: to act on her own behalf, but that she was, previous lo the execution of that instrument, / and at the time itself, fully aware of her own rights, as well as what she was relinquishing, and that she acted from motives honourable to herself, from a desire to carry into effect the intention of her brother. There were three distinct ratifi cations on her part to the contract; first, having administered to the will ; secondly, having filed a bill for a specific perform ance of the deed ; and lastly, her marriage settlement with Colonel Came being founded upon it. Under all these cir cumstances, no doubt that the defence set up in this case bad altogether failed, and that Mr. Marie, the plaintiff, was en titled to the prayer of his bill ; and the decree of the Court therefore was, that Mr. and Mrs. M. was entitled to a decree against Mr. and Mrs. Carnac. With respect to the question of costs, the Court could not shut its eyes to the nature of the de fence, and to the charge made in the answer of forgery, sup pression of the will, and undue influence on the testator ; and while it saw that the substantial grounds of defence had -alto gether failed, and that charges of such a natu re were made without evidence to support them, it would not be doin g justice to the plaintiff if it did n pp ot enforce the specific perforrnance of the contract against the defendants, with costs. The Court was unwilling to make further observations on the answer, as it did not recolktt an instance within its experience , where such an answer was put on its filet;.—JUdgment for the plaintiff, with costs.--f Obzerver.)

SOLEM QUIS DICERS FALSUM 4UDLBT LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, PER. 14, 1 825 The Paris Papers of Thursday and Friday arrived last eight. It is believed that the budget will be presented on Wednesday. On Thursday last the law of Sacrilege was discussed in the Chamber of Peers. Count MoLe was heard against it, Count de la BOURDONNAYE for it, and the Marquis de LALLY upon it. The speech of Count MoLs has been published, and is said to have produced a great sensation, not only in the higher political circles, but also throughout all Paris, where - the law seems to meet with very general reprobation. It would seem by the following article from the Journal des Mats, that the acknowledg ment of Brazil as an independent empire by Per tugal is no longer doubtful, and that this impor taut object has been effected by the united in fluence of England and Austria : The acknowledgment of Brazil as an independent empire, by the Kingof Portugal, seems to have closely followed the change of the Portuguese Ministry. A Ministerial Journal acknow ledges this fact, which . Proves the ascendancy of English and Austrian influence at Lisbon; for England and Austria are agreed upon this.point. We do not, however, think thata formal treaty ha 4 been concluded. The proposed arrangements were of a very complicated nature: the two States, although under dif ferent Sovereigns, were to be bound together by a confederacy; the stipulations to be entered into, in case the Emperor of Bra zil should succeed to the Throne of Portugal, have been the object of long negociations at London ; every thing, in short, hangs upon that question; but will the National Assembly of Brazil sanction these Conventions ? It is thought that the treaty agreed upon at London is as yet only a project till news is received from Rio Janeiro, but the principle of the treaty is acknowledged. This is a very re markable resolution. The possibility of modifying royal legi timacy, -according to physical necessity, is then admitted by Austria, England, and -Portugal.

The city of Amsterdam has been in the greatest danger, and by the rup ture of the dike of Oostereud, a h un d re d manu factories and mills were destroyed, and the inha bitants of the inundated district were arriving at Amsterdam in -the most deplorable con dition.

At Hamburgh there was : mottl e : inundation on the 3d and 4th of this mouth which destroyed a great quantity of merchandize, if some of the dikes in the neighbour had not given way, the city would have s uffer e r still more considerably, as the waters were than during the disastrous flood of the 161 . November last. The Brussels and Dutch PaP er a contain accounts of the damage done in Ho ln and the Netherlands by the late hurricane ° i f floods, which raged along the whole coa 9l °‘ those countries. It does not appear that of ° the inhabitants perished; but the loss of ca ttle and other property is very consid era ble. ' Che o following articl e s o f new s are t a k en from tr Rams, FEB.°. above-mentioned papers : FRANKFORT, Fr l3 ' e In the Sitting of the German Diet on the 27th J a nuarY , President informed the Assembly, th a t B a r o n Anstett, : 311111 ; ster from his Majesty the Emperor of Russia, having a adreOcio on the 11th September, 1824, during the last vacation of . 0 Diet, to the Minister acting as substitute for the President' . Note relative to a levy of recruits ordered in the Russian ek e pire, a provisional answer had been given to this Note with assent of the Diet who were here. In the last confidential Sitting of the 20th, the Pres' —l e ' d communicated the affair to the Assembly, which resolved o°o to give an answer to Baron Anstett, in the name of the fa° Serene Confederation. The proposed answer was read and approved, and it 1 0 8 0 solved that it should be entered on the Journals, as vie ll Baron Anstett's Note. This Note is as follows :—" The undersigned Envoy ---jc,fp, ordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary for his Majesty tlle r Ac , peror of all the Russias to the most Serene German Cor' i fe ration has orders to acquaint the Diet, its organ, that by a I) just issued by his Majesty the Emperor of all the Russ,3s'l,l levy of recruits will be made in the empire like that wil ic ol usually made every year. This levy is become indispensab ill the laws of mortality alone, and by the vacancies causetpies the the ranks of the army by the number of absolute discPi't'ecl given to the soldiers. No political consideration is conri' le o with this measure. But as in our days no act of Governl).oo esca pes malevolence, which is always ready to spread suSP ic/ fo% and alarms, it has been judged proper to assign the reas on t he the measure in question. The intentions of his MajeSti c e, Emperor of all the Russias, and his desire of maintaining P e oll thee are indeed sufficiently known ; but it is to manifest the more, and to do away with every thing that might occite,,p, prehensions of a change of system, that the explanation s ';', 1 11 tamed in this note are given, which the Baron de Carlowit l • be so good as to communicate to the Diet."

'With the exception ,olk • 1 these &tails' the on y article worth extracting is le following : FRANKFORT, JAN• 7• The Grand Duchy of Saxe Weimar, following the principleg of toleration adopted almost every where in Germany, has long since put an end to all debates between the Ministers and fol lowers of the different religious parties, by giving equal rights to all. In consequence of these wise regulations, the Catholics, 'arilv were formerly excluded from all public employments, baY B lately been called to fill several important offices : it is needless to add, that their religion is now protected equally with that of the great majority of the inhabitants who are Protestants. The Allgemeine Zeitung of the 7th instant own municates the following particulars of the pre' sent situation of the remnants of the Egyptisa expedition and fleet under the command of IBRAHIM PACIIA. The Oriental Spectator of the 28th December has the folloV in s ; letter from Suda (Isle of Candia) Dec. 17 : " Ibrahim Pacha has arrived here with his fleet and a gam, part of his transports. He has encamped several thousands 01 his men under tents on the sea coast, and is going to Rhodes, for- the purpose of bringing to Candia the l e ' mainder of his army which he left at that island. It is atfillrl"' ed that the Viceroy, when he enabled his son to execut e. his plans, left him at liberty to do what he should judg e the best, to return to Egypt, or to continue his 0104. tions. But judging from Ibrahim's well known firm and re' solute character, it is not thought he will go bark withoiat ferf powerful reasons. When he sailed from Rhodes, he left til l remainder of his troops under the command of Soliman Bay, ill whom he justly places entire confidence. The •whole arivi therefore will he assembled in Candia, and probably be 0 0 ' veyed directly to Patras or illodon." In the Supplement to this number of the 4 11. gemeine Zeitung there is a very sensible article from Mayence, attributing the falling off of o' l ' trade on the Rhine to the absurd restrictions still imposed in Germany on commerce and inductri a on the one hand, and to the activity display ed on the other hand by the Governments of Eng' land, France, and Holland, to open ne' ( channels of commerce on free and liberal prig' . ciples, and to facilitate and lessen the expell ee of the transit of goods within their respenti le States, by holding forth every encouragement to canals, rail-ways, and steam navigation.
