"-Before the war in Germany in 1805, Bonaparte at tempted to corrupt Doctor Stuver, the Editor of the Bandbitrgh Correspandenten. but found it impossible ; nor could his pOrpose at that time be accomplished by force, as Hamburgh was yet an independent city. Uoon one occasion, however, during the discussions with Eng land, previous to the commencement of the war in 1803, he induce the Senate to order the insertion of a libel against the English Government. But the difficulties he experienced in the first attempt prevented him from rene7:- ing it till he- became master of Hamburgh ; as, besides the resistance he met with from the firmness of the Editor, he had also to gain the censor appointed by the Senate, whose duty it was to examine the different articles, and judge of their admissibility. Thus foiled, he had recourse to the following stratagem. He established a printing-press at Aix-la-Chapelle, under the direction of a German of th e n a me of Haussner, and there reprinted, or rather coun terfeited, the Hamburgli Correspondenten ; and by brib ing all the post-offices in Germany (or at least having a clerk in his pay in the post-office of every town of any con sequence), he found no difficulty in getting the fictitious substituted for the genuine Correspondentcn. By forging the Hamburgh arms, and by the closeness with which the paper, typography, paper, and general appearance of the Journal were imitated, it became a very tolerable fac simile of the original."

Despatches were last night received from Brus sels by the Belgian Minister. We understand that they do not in the slightest degree tend to Confirm the report of the King of HOLLAND havin g shevvn a more conciliatory disposition. It will be seen by our Dover letter that the English and French frigates from Portsmouth, anchored in the Downs last night. The French frigate Melpomene, and the cor vettes Creole and Bayonnais, have arrived at Portsmouth, from Cherbourg. An account has been received at Lloyd's of general SANTA ANNA having opened the port of Tampico free of duties. The LORD CHANCELLOR, we are sorry to S , a Y 1 continues so unwell as to be unable to sit 14 his Court. 'We are informed that the answers this morn- I ng at Lord TENTERDEN'S house to the in lutries made after his Lordship's health were, that h e was just alive, and that was all. The report in Westminster Hall this fore -4000 was that Lord TENTERDEN had re- Ntied his judicial office—that the ATTORNEY GENERAL was appointed to the vacant seat, and that Sergeant WILDE was promoted to the At torney -Generalship. In contradiction to these statements, however, we heard, that Lord TEN- I'ERDEN could not resign without subscribing to certain forms, which his medical attendants would not permit to be submitted to him in his Present state, and that the above two Learned Gentlemen themselves had not (at noon to-day) officially heard of their change of offices. It is necessary to caution the public against attaching, at present, any belief to the statements ‘‘'llich are current with respect to the intentions 4 . the Prussian Cabinet on the Belgian question. some it is said that Prussia has protested a gainst the entry of the French troops into Bel °urn ; by others, that she has not only promised 4 0t to oppose t h e measures o f coerc i on propose d 1 Y Great Britain and Franc e but even to co tperate with them. We have reason to believe t hat up to this time nothing positive is known as to the real intentions of Prussia. From all that has transpired, the balance of opinion may, per haps, be in favour of a pacific course ; but nothing of a decisive character has yet oc curred to warrant the assertions- of some of our Contemporaries. It was expected at the Foreign-office that Baron BuLow would last night receive despatches from Berlin of a more positive nature than those which had previously reached him ; but, up to one o'clock this morn ing, nothing had arrived. With respect to Rus sia, our Ministry appears to be less confident than as to Prussia. It is thought probable that, in the event of the King of HOLLAND hold ing out for two or three weeks, Russia may in- terfere in his favour ; and, if such should be the case, we are sure Prussia would not be long behind, whatever may be her professions at this moment. The resistance of the King of Hof, LAND would soon change the character of the war. From being a dispute merely between Holland and Belgium, it would become a con test between free principles and despotism, and the war would be general. But, say the British and French Cabinets, the King of HOLLAND will not resist—so they said when they issued their protocols. If he has received assurances of support from Russia, we are confident he will resist to the utmost. A private express has been received this morning from Paris. The Papers of Thursday are principally filled with comments on the Bel gian question, and the probability of a general war in case the French troops are obliged to enter Belgium. The KING holds a Cabinet Council every day, at which the whole of the Ministers are present. Their deliberations are not publicly known, but the question of Holland and Belgium appears to occupy greatly their attention, and also the ap proaching opening of the Chambers on the 19th. The general opinion at Paris is, that war will not take place, notwithstanding the great prepa rations making on the part of the King of HOLLAND, to persevere in his refusal to give up the citadel of Antwerp, as the King of PRUSSIA, it is said, has declared, through his Ambassador at Paris, that whatever dislike his Cabinet may have to a military interference on the part of France in the affairs of Belgium, he will conform himself to the decision of the treaty entered into between the Cabinets of St. James's and the Tuileries, and employ his endeavours to persuade King WILLIAM to ac cede to the terms of the treaty. This, added to the arrival of the Marquis of LANSDOWNE in Paris, which is considered as a mission of a pacific nature, is the subject of much speculation, as it is well known that Louis PHILLIPPE from the first has always had a great aversion to any measure that might involve France in a war ; and if he has given his concurrence in this in stance to the treaty entered into between Prince TALLEYRAND and Lord PALMERSTON, it has been at the pressing solicitation of Marshal SotH.T, who is convinced the doetrinnaire and juste-milieu system can no longer be persevered in if he is to retain office. Fresh overtures have been made to M. DUPIN, and it is expected that he will join the Ministry. There were various rumours circulated at the Bourse on Thursday that the King of HOL LAND had ordered an embargo to be laid on English and French vessels ; but as it was sus•. petted, coming from the quarter it did, the funds were not affected. At the close of the Bourse it was circulated that a telegraphic despatch had been received from Bayonne, bringing in telligence from Oporto up to the 25th ult. At that time Don PEDRO had strongly fortified the city, every preparation was making to encounter the promised attack of MIGUEL. The Usurper's troops were in the same position as at the last advices. MIGUEL is reported to be at Valonga. Great interest is felt at Paris in the result of this attack, should it take place, as it is considered as a decisive blow to one party. Should Don PEDRO succeed in defeating the troops of the tyrant, which is little doubted, as he has been strongly reinforced from France and England, it will tend to the final overthrow of the Usurper ; for in this attack are placed the whole hopes of his party. Should it prove un successful, the friends of liberty at Lisbon will immediately rise in favour of their legitimate So vereign. Admiral SARTORIUS was cruising off Oporto. The Spanish Amnesty is still the subject of much conversation in Paris. It is far from being satisfactory to the friends of Constitutional Liberty, being only a half-and-half one. By this decree the bravest men of Spain—MlNA, VALDEZ, QUIROGA, BERTRAND DE Lis, and nearly the whole of the Cortes of Seville are ex chided from this mark of Royal clemency. The Spanish ?Tides have greatly improved, however, i❑ consequence of this unexpected change in the Administration, which it is hoped will lead to a more liberal extension of pardon. Paris continues tranquil, and the funds pretty steady. Important news from Holland was hourly expected. The following are extracts from Brussels Papers, received this morning : BRUSSELS, OCT. 30.-111. de Stassart had resigned his seat in the Cabinet, but we learn, that at the instance of several of his friends, he has consented to withdraw his An English Cabinet Messenger has passed through this city during the night, on his way from London to Frank fort-on-the-Maine, with despatches. General Desprez left I3russels yesterday, to return to his head-quarters at Louvain. ANTWERP, OCT. 29.—The pontoon which was sent on Saturday, from our arsenal, where it was built, was launched yesterday, and immediately afterwards taken to Burcht. It is supposed that it is intended for very active service between the two banks. _ List Saturday a Dutch detachment which was ord ere d to escort two load of provisions to one of the Ports, arr i ve d in the city, bringing the two waggons, with their arm, and baggage. Letter from General Goblet to the Minister of War " Sir,—l have laid before the Council the papers relative to the arrest of M. Antoine Piscatore of Luxemburg, and I hasten to transmit to you the instructions which General Tabor has asked for. " Though the captivity of M. Thorn, who was arrested on the 16th of Apri', is protracted, notwithstanding the remonstrance of the Conference of bindon, and the acquittal of the persons arrested at Namur, the King's Government had refrained from using the " Brussels, Oct. 22." Yesterday the Queen visited the public library of Bros cels. She was accompanied by a Lady of Honour, and Count Aerschott.—Journal de la Belgique, Oct 31. Sir PULTENEY MALCOLM had a long con rerence with Prince TALLEYRAND yesterday. We understand, from a quarter on which we ,hink we can place reliance, that Ministers are resolved on beginning the new session of Parlia ment with a proposal connected with Church Reform, which will reconcile the country to their inaction on other matters, and actively neutralize the attempt which the Tories are making to torment the present Cabinet by ask ing the Reformers what beyond the Reform Bill they have done towards ameliorating the condition of the poor or removing the burdens which press on agriculture and trade. It is stated that a clergyman of the Established Church, remarkable for his lively sallies of wit, and his late exertions in the cause of Reform, has been instructed to submit to the Cabinet a Bill, which, without materially affecting the rights of the present incumbents, or departing from the fair dignity and influence of the Church, will put an end to the disgraceful exactions of some of the higher order of the clergy, and remove the heart-burnings which are at present created by the tithe system, between the pastor and his flock. We give this information as it has reached us, from a respectable source, but with out pledging ourselves for its authenticity. At the same time, however, we feel bound to observe that it is highly probable as both the integrity and policy of the Ministers are con cerned. Deeply as the country is indebted to Earl GREY and his colleagues for Parliamentary Reform, yet, as it is in the nature of men to attach more importance to benefits withheld than to advantages conferred, it may be expected that the public will ask, in the commencement of a new Parliament, what Ministers have done for the good of the country, and unless some decidedly popular measure, indicative also at . . the same time of further good be brought for ward, the question may be turned to account by the Tories, and produce an inconvenience, of which, for a short time, they might profit to the injury of the people, whose prejudices they are always attempting to rouse for some bad purpose of their own. Coining forward boldly and honestly with a Bill for Church Reform, Minis ters will have the country on their side, and they will be permitted to remain in office long enough to mature plans for the relief of the public bur dens, and the total annihilation of the faction by which they were laid down. Should Ministers, however, hesitate to pro pose Church Reform at the very commencement of the new Parliament, they will be unable to prevent it from becoming one of the earliest questions before the House of Commons, and they will have none of the credit of it which, as its originators, they have now the opportunity of claiming. How easy will it be then for the Tories, nay, for some of the Liberals themselves, to take Ministers to task for making promises to the ear which have never been fulfilled. " Where," it will then be said, "is the reduction of those taxes which press so heavily on the productive and middle classes of which you talked so loudly when you were in Opposition ? Where the mo dification of the taxes on knowledge, to which you pledged yourselves when you had taken office— but of which, for some reasons best known to a y sk ou ed rs:lves, we now hear no more ?" Th ese an d many o th er aw k war d quest i ons w ill natura ll y b e if Ministers think to obtain exemption from the performance of all their pledges by merely pointing to the Act of Reform ; but let them grapple at once with the abuses of the Church, and their first step will be taken as an earnest of a continued career of improvement. Let them do this, and they will be more popular even than they were at the greatest height of public enthusiasm for Parliamentary Reform. In vain will the Tories then assail them. The reply of the people to the insinuations of this faction will be, " Tell us not of what they have omitted—see what they have already done, and say whether such men will hesitate to do more ?" BRISTOL, Nov. 2, 1832.—Sir R. VYVYAN cuts but a sorry• appearance in Bristol. To-day be adopted the Hinckley plan, and was seen canvassing St. Thomas's parish, attended by four constables. Mr. PROTHEROE carries every thing before him, except a few hangers on of the vestries. Mr. BAILIE'S return is also very certain. CONSERVATIVE SOCIETY OF DUBLIN. — Sir GEORGE RICH announced the amount of the week's rent as seven huntked and seven pounds two shillings and onepenny.—D üblin Evening Mad. The Dublin Papers contain Mr. MAURICE O'CotosF.r.r.'s formal resignation of the county of Clare, which he abandons for Tralee, the " capital" of his native county. He consoles the own of Clare, however, by as suring them that. their names and his will "go lowa the stream of history together." DARING itOBBERY.-Last night, between four and five o'clock, a most daring and impudent robbery was committed at the Chapter Coffee-house, Little Queen street, Lincoln's-lun-Fields, by tn•o men, who called in for refreshment, and watching Mr. WHITE's absence from the coffee-m.lm, stole a clock, va'ued at 51. Mr. WHITE im mediately forwarded information to the police-office, Bow street. LOCUST IN ELGlN.—During the great storm of wind and rain, a fortnight ago, a locust was driven into Craigellachie Inn, in this place. Whence it came is a question which we leave to naturalists. Mr. BURNETT, who saw the creature, which we did not, it having been thoughtlessly destroyed on being taken, says it was of ti size of a sparrow, an d o f a speckled complexion. On being touched, it made a load chirping noise.—Elgin Courier. frequent opportunities that presented themselves for making reprisals, the arrest of AI. Piscatore therefor did not take place by its orders. But this unforeseen am unexpected event bring now a matter of fact, the Go vernment of his Majesty his been convinced by the inror. mation which it has received from the province that the unconditional release of that individual would make a %ter ) bad impression on the inhabitants, who are justly ,ex asperated by the treatment of M. Thorn. "Besides the reports of the military authorities of Luxum • burg, and those of the Belgian authorities, being a variance in some particulars, it is necessary tha . the Government should first of all institute a farthei investigation into all the circumstances which ac companied the arrest of ZM. Piscatore. At all events the Government judges that the best mode of pot ting an end to the existing difficulties, and of pre. venting new ones, would be an exchange of AI. Piscator, for M. Thorn. It authorises General Tabor to propos this exchange, giving the preceding explanations. Mein time, not to expose M. Piscatore, in the midst of the po pulation of Luxemburg, to results which might expose him to personal danger, General Tabor will have him im mediately conveyed to Namur, taking care that the prisoner shall be treated with all possible regard, and not subjected `a) any privation besides that of liberty. Accept, &c. (Signed) " GOBLET. ROLLS COURT.-(THIS DAY.) BAILEY V. SIIERWOOD• This was the petition of the plaintiff, Mr. Bai'ey, a gentlemen resident in the county, praying that eight bills of costs of the defendant, who is an attorney, 'night be referred to the master of taxation, though they had been paid, on the ground of their containing improp,r charges. It appeared that the defendant had been th e legal adviser of the plaintiff from the year 1822 to 1830, and in that character had delivered -he bills in question for his professional assistance. Five of the bills had been paid by moneys which the defendant had received on account of the plaintiff, and •he other three had been paid by the plaintiff himself, while in prison, at the suggestion of the defendant, and t a period when the connection of solicitor and client had terminated. Mr. BEcKEttsrETH, for the defendant, contended that , he Court could not interfere, inasmuch as the first five bills had been acceded to and not found fault with till long after the connection of solicitor and client had ceased, tnd the last three had been paid while the plaintiff had the Ad verse assistance of another solicitor. The MASTER of the ROLLS thought that the single cir cumstance of the bill containing improper charges, apart from everything else, would authorise the Court to inter fere, and ordered the bill to be referred to the Master for taxation. KING'S BENCII.-(THIS DAY.) TWEED V. MANSFIELD. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved to reduce the da inages in this case from 1,5001. to 5391. The plaintiff was a lessee of certain property in Essex, on which was a bridge. From the want of repairs the bridge fell in, and the action was brought against the defendant for not keep ing it in proper repair. The ground of the present appli cation was that Lord Tenterden, in his address to the Jury, recommended to them to give too large a sum for the repairs and loss of use while the bridge was delapi dated.—Rule Nisi granted. IMPORTANT TO SHERIFFS' OFFICERS-SIMPSON V. RENTON. This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover a penalty of 50/. from the defendant, for a violation of the Act 32d Geo. 11. c. 28. That Act related to the conduct of Sheriffs' officers and others in making caption', and it stated that a Sheriffs' officer on arresting a debtor, shall not take him to a goal within 24 hours of the caption, but to such safe and convenient house as the debtor might nominate within three miles of the place of arrest ; and in case of the officer refusing, and conveying him to a gaol, he was liable to a penalty of 501. The Jury found a ver • diet for the plaintiff. Mr. POLLOCK moved to day to enter a verdict for de fendant. The question, he said, was of very great im portance ; and if the Act of Parliament were to be con 'trued, in all cases of arrest, as it had been in this case, Sheriff,' officers would be liable to penalties on almost every occasion on which they arrested persons. It ap peared in evidence that the defendant, who was under gaoler of Knaresborough Castle, had a writ against the plaintiff, who lived at Harrowgate. He proceeded there to arrest him, but the plaintiff and his wife made consi derable resistance. However, the plaintiff was got into a post-chaise and taken to the defendant's house, which com municated by a yard behind with the castle or yard where debtors were confined. That night be slept in the gaol, and he was seen at the grating of the gaol on the following morning, which was certainly within 24 hours of arrest. Those were the fac's of the case upon which the Jury had convicted the defendant, and there were now two questions for consideration by the Court :—First, whether that house in which the gaoler lived was to be deemed a gaol or prison -house within the meaning of the Act ; and secondly, whether a party with out remonstrating or nominating some safe and convenient house whither he should be carried, could charge the offi i-er with a violation of the Act of Parliament. Now it was clear that the gaoler's house could not be taken to be a part of the castle, and it was proved that he slept there at his own desire. ➢lr. Justice J. PARKE—Yes, but it appeared that the gaoler provided no bed for him, and as he knew a prisoner in the gaol he asked permission to sleep with him. - Mr. POLLOCK said, at all events, he went into the gaol at his own request—no matter for what object. It would operate as a great hardship upon officers, who, when, they take persons into custody for debt are obliged to go to any house the prisoners may choose for 24 hours, sitting up all night watching them. Was an officer obliged to say to his prisoner, " Sir, there is an Act of Parliament which allows you to go to any house you may name for 24 boors, and I must accompany you." That would be a very great hardship in the country, where there are not those houses, known in London as " sponging -houses." In this case the plaintiff was taken to the gaoler's house, and there he might have remained until the twenty-four hours expired, but for his own wish that he might go into the gaol. Mr. Pollock therefore submitted that the Act, being a penal on", should not be construed too strictly, and that a ver dict should be entered for the defendant. Mr. Justice J. PARKS said, the Court considered the gaoler's house to be virtually a part of the gaol, and that the plaintiff was placed there by the act of the defendant. Upon that point, therefore, the Court refused the motion ; but upon the other point, as to whether the plaintiff ought to have nominated some safe and convenient place him self to the plaintiff; the Court granted a rale to show e iuse. CRIMINAL INFORMATION. Mr. COLTAIAN moved for a criminal information against a gentleman named Henry Jefferson for a libel upon a Mr. Perry in a handbill, which was circulated in the town of Whitehaven. On the 3d of August an election of trustees for the port and harbour of Whitehaven took place, at which there was some rioting. Mr. Perry had occasion to complain to Mr. Littledale, a Magistrate who was attending officially ; and Mr. Jefferson, during the complaint made, said " It's a - lie." Mr. Perry, at the time, took no no tice of the expression, and the Cumberland Packet, on the 14th of Anguust, published some strictures upon his con duct for not resenting it. On the 21st, the adverse paper, the Whitehaven Herald, published a reply, and excused Mr. Perry, on the ground that Mr. Jefferson was drunk when be used the expression. That gave offence to Mr. Jefferson, who sent a friend, Mr. Armstead, to Mr. Perry. Mr. Perry denied being privy to the statement in the Herald, and a similar message was sent to Mr. Har rison, a banker, who also disavowed having had any participation in the accusation. Mr. Jefferson, how ever, not being satisfied, had thought proper to publish a placard containing the correspondence upan the subject, and in it said he would leave the public to form their own opinion of two men who, to screen themselves from per sonal consequences, were capable of stating that which they knew to be false. That was, in fact, posting the two gentlemen, of whom Perry was one, as cowards. The COURT granted a rule to show cause. EXCHEQUER COURT.-(THIS DAY.) VENNALL D. GARNER. Mr. ALEXANDER appeared to move for a new trial in ' the above case, which he stated was tried at the late Dur ham Assizes, before Mr. Baron Bolland, when a verdict was found for the plaintiff—damages, 7301. The action was for damage done at sea to the plaintiff's brig the Economy, by that of the defendant, the Fowcy. The collision occurred soon after midnight, at which time the Economy was coming southward, laden, while the Fowey was going northward, light. The wind was in favour of the Fowey at the time, and she ought to have got out of the way, undoubtedly ; but his ground was, that the Economy had not taken such precautions as she might hive done to have avoided the accident. The COURT were of opinion that it was entirely a ques tion for the Jury, and they could not interfere. The Learned Gentleman then applied for leave to reduce the verdict to 1001. on the ground that the Master of the Economy could have repaired all the damage for that sum if he had put into the nearest port, as in justice he was hound to do. The accident took place off Flamborough lint in place o f miking Heed, and t h e nearest ports were Scarborough and Whitby, for either of them, he attempted to reach H art l epool when he foundered about three miles from it. The Court were of opinion that this also was a ques tion for the Jury before whom no evidence had been offered that he could have got into any of those ports. They must, the re f ore, refuse' the rule. Mr. Serjeant SPANKIE w,,s called within the bar as one of th e Ki ng ' s Ser j eants. The Learned Gentleman moved for a new trial in the cause of ROBINSON V. BAMFORD, which was tried before Lord Tenterden at the late Guild ford Assi zes, when a verdict teas found for the plaintiff— damages 31 2 / . The action was originally ngainst the Sheriff of S urrey for a trespass, and the present d e f en d ant who w as t h e person who sued out the judgment, ha d b een substituted i n h i s place. It appeared that two persons who were i n t h e habit of disconntintr bills had got into d ifficu lties, and bad lost an action at law in the month of May. Jud gment was signed on the first of June, and the sheriff siezed on that day, but it appeared t h at t h ose par ti es in expectati on o f such a proceeding, ha d " se t th e i r h ouse in order ;" they had executed a bill of sale od all the HAY MARKETS.—(At per Load of 30 Trusses.)

VICE-CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY, His Honour the Vlce-CuAtimutox proceeded with cause petitions to-day, the object of the most of which was for references to the Master, and for the confirmati , r of reports not excepted to. Up to the time of our re. porter's leaving no case worth reporting had been broueht before his Honour. In the course of the morning Mr. Serjeant Spankie, on being appointed a King's Serjeant, and Mr. Joy, on his appointment as King's Counsel, were called within the bar by the Court. BANKRUPTCY COURT.-(THIS DAY. EX-PARTE CRONE IN RE WHARTON. This was a petition praying the Court to order a solici tor of 'Worcester, named France, to deliver up the pro ceedings and other papers in the bankruptcy of Messrs. Wharton of that town, against whom a commission issued many years back. The original assignee was dead, and the petitioner having been elected in his place, called upon Mr. France, who had succeeded to the business of the original solicitor to the commission, but not to the soli citorship itself, to deliver up the proceedings. Mr. France was solicitor to a gentleman against whom Mr. Crowe had commenced proceedings as debtor to the estate, and upon receiving notice from him and other creditors, re fused to deliver up the papers. The Court said that Mr. France could not, on any pretence whatever, withhold the proceedings and papers from the assignee. Petition granted as prayed, with coats against Mr. France. EX-PARTE JOLLY IN RE WHARTON. This was a petition in the same bankruptcy to remove Mr. Crowe from his situation as assignee, but no ground being shown for the application, the petition was dis missed with costs.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Madras Papers to the 17th June have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. (From the Paper of the 16th June.) We have not received any very late accounts from the seat of war in the East, but we have been informed that a considerable increase is about to be made to the force now in Malacca, under the command of Col. Herbert, and as soon as shipping can be procured, there will be:despatched from this a regiment of Native Infantry, about 40 or 50 European Artillery, 5 companies of Sappers and Miners, and 2 or 3 companies from the wing of the Madras European regiment, and we trust this additional force will be the means of quelling the insurrection spirit of the Mallays. THE. FUNDS. The accounts front Holland which arrived yesterday by the Dutch steamer are rather of a warlike nature, and the Dutch are making every preparation in case of their being attacked ; still nothing can be positively stated until the arrival of the Lightning steamer, which is expected to bring the King of Hull ind's answer. Con;o1s maintain their price—Opened at 84 buyers for the Account. HALF-PAST ONE. Up to the present hour we do not hear of any further information being received from Holland, nor is there any from Portugal, but we understand that an express has been received from Paris—the contents not as yet trans pired. The private information from the Dutch capital states, that the Dutch are still credulous in respect to the hostile preparations of both England and France. Ne vertheless, it Was expected that the King of Holland would send over new proposals, of a more favourable description than the last, in consequence of which the Lightning steamer is anxiously looked for. Consols have continued during the whole of the morning at 81 to for the Account, with little doing. In the Foreign Market Spanish Bonds were done in the early part of the morning at In ; at present they are not quite so good. In other Foreign Stocks little doing. THREE 0' CL O CK.

While the puny sovereigns and the petty nobles are afraid of war, the people in the far greater majority appear to wish for it, in order that a change may be brought about, and that the abhorred system of oppression, on which alone their rulers now rely, may be destroyed. The custom-h,usea will in stantly vanish ; trade and the expression of thought will then become free. The more one studies the existing state of Germany, the stronger does the conviction become that the present order of things is but provisional. Half the divisions now subsisting have been brought about by the French Empe ror, and are contrary to the feelings and prejudices of the provinces thus cut up to please the fancy of some fa vourites. The Congress of Vienna has given a sanction - o the partition; but every one who examines history, as sell as the actual position of the country, mast be con vinced that the whole fabric will be dissolved during the tirst war. Hence the apprehensions of war on the dart of the oppressors, and hence also the wishes of the oppressed. While Austria and Prussia have such influence in Eng land, when their weak points are not known, they struggle as far as possible to conceal them also here ; the latter especially, which has blazoned its military arrangements is the perfection of such system, now begins to feel the effects. In Prussia every man is obliged to become a soldier—that is, to waste the best years of his life under arms : hence there are crowds of dismissed or unemployed, or discontented, that know not what to de. Rumour speaks here of a military conspiracy that within a few days has broken out in Magdeburg, for the purpose of putting an end to the Governor, who is represented as a cruel and vindictive man. Numbers of the conspirators have escaped. You are already aware of the discontent of the soldiery in Bavaria and Wurtembere ; if the spirit of insubordination extends itself among the Prus sian troops, the game is lost for the rulers of Germany. Prussia has at length, after the publication took place in Bavaria, given an efficient sanction to the ordinances of the Diet, dated the 28th of Junc. The efforts of the Diet to subdue the spirit of the people still continue. In Frankfort, the Senite, an insti tution resembling tho Court of Aldermen in London, has joined the Diet, and is of course at variance with other classes of the inhabitants. T►:e late elections form a strong topic of discord. I have already mentioned that there are three separate bodies, from which the cl o.ca was to be made—the learned, the commercial, and the working classes. In the first class, the Senate, to the astonishment of all sensible men, ordered the police of the town and of the environs, who bel , ng properly to the third, to give their votes. The first class by the con• stitution of the city, consists of the learned men, and of the higher employes, who must be well instructed, whi'e, on the late occasion, the Senate actually professed to mak e all the watchmen of the town LL.D. The most bitter mockery is made of this absurd act ; a protest has been sent in against the election, which must be declared null, or the whole Constitution will be considered void. Th: absolutism of the Diet has therefore produced dissatisfac tion here. Arrests have taken place also. A writer, named Freieisen, has been imprisoned at the instance of the Austrian Minister at the Diet, for having translated from some French publications some articles in which Austria is severely censured. These articles were published in a brochure called Die Republik, and have proved so annoying to Austria, that the Minister resident, Baron Von Handel, who acts a subordinate part to the pompous President, Munch Bellinghausen, as Secretary to the Diet, made a formal demand for the arrest and im prisonment of the author. The protests and remonstrances of the people against the notorious resolutions in various districts have proved exceeding annoying to the Diet. Some of those docu ments have been remitted by the President of the Diet to the Government of those districts, with orders to have those who signed them prosecuted for such acts. If the people have no right to complain, they are bound to obey. The Duke of Saxe-Coburg has published a notice to his subjects, that they are not to send in pro testations to the Diet under strong penalties. Such is the nature of that, as well as o' other petty German govern ments, that at St. Wendel, one of the towns given to the Duke "on the continental island," or territory, shaped out by the Congress of Vienna, near the Saar, in the Rhenish provinces, some young maidens have been pu nished for accompanying some Polish officers out of the district and for singing songs of freedom in their com• patsy. In the home districts of Coburg and Meiningen, the smugglers are so bold that the King of Bavaria has been forced to form a military cordon against them, as his custom-house officers were not sufficient to repress their invasions. In the Grand Duchy of Nassau, where, as explained in former letters, the taxes were illegally voted, several of the Deputies and others have been arrested and sent to a fortress for refusal to pay them. The wives of some have old and liberated their husbands. The general discon tent is very great. Hence the question .is asked, if your unreformed Parliament can legally vote taxes in England ? The number of emigrants from Bavaria, \Vurtemberg, Baden, and the Rhenish provinces, who are preparing to depart next spring to North America, amoun•s now to 20,000 person of property and consideration. I must now mention a singular circumstance connected with th;s correspondence. In Germany, where a strict censorship is exercised, an extract was made of an im p etant passage from one of the letters, and in order to ob tain for it publicity it was isserted in a negative manner, as frequently done, and the liainault Gazette " thanked God" that nothing was known in Germany of the facts related. Some of the London evening papers took the stwement of the. Hsinault paper literally, and though ig norant of the matter, committed an egregious blunder, which has here created laughter against them.

THE DUKE OF SAXE WEIMAR.---Speakillg of the Dutch army reminds me that its favourite comman der, after the Prince of ORANGE—SAXE WEIMAR, is in town for a while. He is a model for a Batavian com mander. Robustly fat in his figure, his countenance has a little of the pre:tx chevalier in it as possible, but is re markable for its fat, ruddy, and one would be rea.ly to swear, good humoured character, but for the unprepossess ing cold repulsiveness of a pair of large round eyes, which soon correct the hasty impression of a first glance. He resembles considerably Mr. —, of your Chancery Bar, without possessing the broad urbanity which smiles on that worthy gentleman's well furnished physiognomy. He s,ems what our sailors would call a tough old fellow, and would be himself sufficient to maintain a moderate sized fort, or constitute one side of a square in a field of battle, hut for manoeuvring a corps d'armde in the face of a Frene!l Nihrshal, I should apprehend hint to be but indifferently wall adapted. The metier de la yucrre requires rather too much levity or light wittedness. He should hove been an Admiral.—Private Correspondence from the Hatfire.
