'h) THE EDITOR OF THE S. , Sta—Surptzed at the construction which the Magistrates at Queen-Square have been pleased 10 put upon the Act of William ; which has been wide to inclufle the Detonating Balls within the class of tire-works, so as to convict Mess'rs.Pianca and Cooper in the pviintty of 51. each for vending these articles-, but still more ‘ „wtonilied at the --rvsult of the experiments made by Mr. BAs at the Ofliee, which hastened the conviction, we Were led 10,institate the foliow - ing experiments, with a view of determining the fact, founding them upon one previous knowledge that fire is not to be produced by the explosion of the balls, and that a lash of light only is evolved by thetit that is not capable of effecting the explosion, of gun- powder. A quantity of the best gunpowder, very finely powdered, was rolled up with oi.ie" of the Deto-•• timing Balls, precisely as mentioned by Mr. 13. ; when pressed by the%foot, the hall exploded, but did not inflame the powder, scattering around only a small portiOn, while the greater part remained in a fold of the paper; this was collected, and with the addition of more powder, was submitted to,the same trial, and prodaced the same result; vine times in succession was the scattered powder collected, anti' subjected to the full action of a ball in exploding, but vat one particle of gun •ptin 4.4. in f lamed in any single cxperitnent. Still grilling to satisfy the most sceiitic, the trial was varied: a detonating boMb was enveloped by a rg quantity of the finest gunpowder, and, on tfifecting the explosion by a drop of sulphuric acid, not a particle of the powder inflamed—it was only scattered; ac in the former trials; this also was twice repeated, •with similar results. . _ Now, Sir, as it is well known that gunpowder will 'not in/hone but by the actual contact of fire, produced either by the striking of flint and steel, or by the application of a burning body, it must be evident, thsat in• Mr. BANKS'S experiment, the pow der was not burnt by the exploding ball, but took fire from sonic other cause ; it could only haie happened front the circumstances 'described by Mr. .NNKS lt) 'THE Stir!i, viz. that his shoes, from walking across the Park, bad collected a quantity of sand, whose particles being so many struck against some piece of iron in the floor of the (Mice, by which . a spark was peo duced that set fire to the powder. Under these cii cumstances, we must conclude, that :the opinion of the Magistrates is founded in error, and that the balls - cannot be considered as fire-works. • We are, Sir, your obedient Servants, SELWAY and lIENLY.

[RECEIVED THIS MORNINGJ Alinßm, SEPT. 29.—LtItcrs from Lisbon state, that they had celebrated in that city the sixth An niversary of its Emancipation. There was a grand review of all the troop!, and in• the evening the city was illuminated. The Portuguese boast that they have contri butted powerfully to the general liberation of Eu rope.

VIENNA, OCT. 1.-Yesterday, at I I o'clock in .the morning, there was a grand, parade on the Prater. , The grenadiers of Jarossy and Moese, the regiment of Coleredo, a division of the Uhlans of . Schwartzenburg, were on the ground. The Emperor of Russia, the King of Prussia, accom panied by Field Marshal ' Prince Sch wartzen burg, honoured tl•he parade with their presence. In the evening there was a Grand Gala at Court. Yesterday the Elector of , Hesse Cassel and the Prince Augustus arrived. Their Majesties the Emperor and Empress . ctf Russia occupy the second story of the Pavilion of Amitie, and the King of Wurtemburg the first ; the King of Prussia occupies thc.first story in the (our des Swisses, anti the King of Denmark the second. The Emperor of Russia rides through the city eery day in an open carriage, and by his affability gains all hearts. It, is thought that the affairs of the Congress are going on rapidly, as the mea sures in general *ere prepared before hand. Ac- Cording to some accounts, the Sovereigns will re main in Vienna till the middle of November ; others say, their stay gill not be prolonged be yond the 24th October. There will bt to-morrow 6. Grind Fete, to which 10,000 persons are invited ; and on Thurs day, the 4th,' the Anniversary of the Festival of t h e Emperor, will be celtbrate4 in the Augarten. The grand Concert will be on the 13th. The circle at Court yesterday was most magni ficent. The Emperor, the Kings, the Sovereign Princes, appeared in all their splendour. The Priv cesses wore all their diamonds. The Mi n i sters o f. Foreign rowers, the persons attached to the So vereigns, the Ladies of the Courts of Austria, and - of the other Counts in full dress., &c. &c. presented altogether one of the most magnificent * The Parisian Manufacturer of the above artiee forgot that he had dated it fromNurcuaberg in Bavaria, and not from Saxony, pear not to t n tve (ormt,d an exact opinion respeet• ing the iffenell-Joarnals.

Patds, r2.—Our pi-lvato c(-trrespondence from Vienna announces, that the Ministers Of Austria, Russia ; Prussia, England, France, and Spain, had, on the 30th September, a preparatory conference. It Is believed that the formal con ferences of Congress would be openeda few days afterwards, and that Sweden and • Portugal will still be admitted. -These conferences, itis added, .will have no other object but the political arrange ments of Europe, and that the objects iv - bleb par r. concern Germany will be treated sepa rately. The INlinister Baron de Stein, it is said; has cli ff a project for a new organization of Ger many, and has presented it to the three Allied SOvereigns. BERLIN, Sii.T. 30.—1 t now appears certain, that the Prince Royal of Sweden will not attend the Congress of Vienna. Ile has not received any letter of invitation from the Emperor of Austria, who addressed •such to all .tbe Sovereigns arid Princes, mid particularly to the King,ot Denmark. This Circumstance, it is said, gives great uneasi ness to the Prince Royal. It is recollected that he Was very coldly receiled by the _Emperor of Austria at Paris ; and it'is also known that many of tht < Powers of Europe feel a particular interest for the son of Gustavtis, their relative, a young Prince who di4plays a 11.4py union of the best and the most royal qualities. It is farther re marked, that the King of Den Mark is treated with distipetion- by the Allied Sovereigns. The Prince Royal of Sweden having, in the month of July last, demanded the consent of England to his seizing Copenhagen and Zealand, under the pre text, of punishing r the,King of Denmark for his equivocal conduct since the peace, the Court of London peremptorily rejected this proposal, de claring, that it would protect Denmark in her present possessions. The Court of Prussia and that of Russia likewise testify, at this Moment, a great friendship for the King of Denmark. — (Journal des Debuts.)‘ FRANKYORT, OCT. 6.—The Gazette of this City having announced, on the 13th of September, that the inhabitants of Dresden had sent a Deputation to Congress, to solicit the re-establishment of the Kingdom of Saxony, this assertion has been contradicted in the same Journal, by a formal de claration of the Magistrates of Dresden, dated Sept. 29. FUNDS. per Cent. 7.:r f. 40c.—Bank Actions, 1195 f. DUTCH MAIL. WATISLIT, SEPT. 24.•=---As his Majesty the Em peror of Russia arrived atßiola, on his way to Vienna, he was welcomed by the Deputation. His Excellency, Senator Castellan Kuki, who H spoke in their name, expressed, in the Polish lan , pages, the respect and gratitude of the Polish nation, and at the same time their firm confidemie in the protection of his Imperial Majesty ; and ' that he would restore them their political exist ence and their country. His Majesty replied in terms highly flattering to the Polish nation, ex-- _pressing the esteem and regard which he felt 'for it he repeated tWice expressly, that he was going to Vienna to complete the great work he had begun. He justified the confidence of the Pole-s, by adding that he would always consider. the happiness of the Polish. Nation as a recompence. When the Emperor arrived on the 20tIrat Witty, he received 'the deputation of the city of \Varsaw, and replied to their Address— t" Assure the inhabitants of the city of Warsaw that I have: their interests greatly at heart ; and, that if I have deferred m y v i s i t t o that capital, it was solely that it might establish your happiness on a solid foundation." .We erect shOrtly Prince Constantine.

Our. I .—Atnong the numerous group who were assembled to;day cm the Terrace of the Thuillerics to see the 'King go to mass, was the famous Vendenn Heroine-, Itence L'Angevira, wear ing the decoration of the L.s.:. The crowd pressed round leer to hear her conversation, which breath ed a military 'frankness. An elderly man, deco rated with tlie Cross of St. Louis, .entered Into Conversation . with her, and asked her what in _ &teed her to take up arms " The love of my fa ther, my mother, and my King said she. He afterwards spoke of the long captivity to _which Ilamaparte had condemned her: I only came out of prison, said she, on . the I Sth April, and he acted wisely in confining. me so long, for. I was very much his enemy. But, added she, with vi vacity, let us not speak any more of him. We have recovered our King, for whom we lost every thing, and for the retaining of whom we are ready to sacrifice every thing. PARIS, OCT. 12.—Letters from Berlin stag, that the troubles in Norway will . not permit the Prince Royal of S\veden to go to Vienna. A let ter from Bergen of the 2d states, that the public .foaling in Norway is very unfavourable to the Swedes ; Generals lliixthansen, Staffeld, am] some others, are now prisoners at Menxbohn: "The Diet which WaS to assemble on the 7th October could not be complete, because the Baillays of Drentheim and Bergen refuse to Send Deputies. , The troubles in the Canton of Tessin are settled, by a compromise between the inhabitants who had raised en masse and the troops of the Confedera tion. The inhabitants of St. Gull are still fighting. Prince Esterhazy does not till any-deplomatic character at Naples, but lie had a long private audience of King Joachim, since, which time it has been oberved that the countenances of the Royal Family, have displayed a marked uneasiness. The Archduchess, Maria Louisa, arrived at Munich on the 3d October; The Duke de Berri arrived at Paris yesterday evenir,g. It is said that Mrs. ritzberbert was mistaken for tlie Princess of Wales, who is not at Paris.. Letters from Cassel state that his Electoral Highness, in order to reward by.soMe mark of . distinction the eminent .Services performed by in dividuals in the late contest for the liberaticy) of Germany, has instituted the Order of the Iron Helmet. It is to be composed of two clas:•es, and to have a Grand Cross. • Several of the States of Germany are com plaining most heavily that bands of malefactors and vagabonds have been formed in different places, and that they endanger the public safety.' The Morning Chronicle pretends tlia_t the Het man Platow has entered POJand at the head of 90,000 Cossacks, and that Hamburgh is about to become a Danish city. Has the Loudon Jour nalist then, forgotten that Platow is at Vienna ? Does he not know, what all Europe knows, that the independence of Harnburgh Was, guarranteed by all the Allied Powers months before the.Opcn ing of the Congress,?• Has he not read in the Vienna Official Gazette the annunciation' or the arrival of M. Cities, as Deputy from the. Fice- City of Hamburgh?-1t appears that the English Jour nalist's memory is occasionally defective. RASTADT, OCT. 6.—The attachment of the Saxon Generals Lecocci arid Zeschwig has met with a bad recompence. It is reported that their arrest was ordered by the Prussian General Kleist. It has made a very unfortunate impression in Saxony. In every part of the kingdom through which these Officers passed on their to T or gap, where they are imprisonad, they .
