GERMAN 'PA pnns. WIRBADEN, 30.—The attempls anti ex vrtions of the proptietors of our German mann factories to get rid of the troublesome competi tion ~ith the Bnglish manufactures in the Ger man markets still continue,.and frequently .give rise to the titbit singular itsi-ertions, The tendency to excinde foteigntompetitors, and thus to be lbie to presyritre. laws to the consumers, and to sell to them inter for goods at'a high price with less trouble than could be done without this exclusion of foreigners, is, we know, general in all countries where manufactories exist. It ani mates shoemakers and tailors in the smallest tountry towns, as well astbe proprietor of the greatest manufactory. Nobody ever vet doubted but that this exclu sion of foreigners was advantageous and &sit able for the manufacturer and artisan ; and that it is the interest of manufacturers to persuade us that their interest is the general interest of the State. The arguments which are commonly employed by them to produee•this conviction, such as tile in dependence of the State upon' , foreign countries, the keeping at home all the - money which goes abroad for foreign productions, the support orthe inhabitants, by employing 'bent in the manufac tories- of the country, have been repeated often . enough, arid are' heard every where; but that the consumer of the manufactures longs. for the exclu sion of foreign articles - front the market, that he may pay a higher price for what be wants, this assertion is new fiud it expressed in plain words, in an ar ticle from Elberfeld, in No. '264 of the Zeitung. • The writer, endeavouring to controvert the assertion of the English raisers, that a prohibition of the English inanutactures in Germany cannot be thought of or executed, because it would be inconsistent with the inte rest of the German peasantry and the Govern ments, says, " Twenty-five millions of men (in cluding Prussia) look rip to their Governments for protection and deliverance in this respect," (name -IY, the exelOsion of English manufactures from the German market's.) - • " According to this, 25,000,000 Germans require of their Governments to be protect'ell against the liberty of buying better goods a; a lower price ; or, in other worth, present putitiOns.to their Go aaseionents to pay a general tax on consumption for the benefit - of some German manufacturing towns, and proprietors of manufactories . As far as nor knowledge extends, the general voice. of 25 millions of people in -Germany has not yet expressed itself to this effect. We hear, indeed,, now and then complaints of too heavy direct-and 'indirect taxes in Germany, and many persons may look up to their Governments (Or protection and "deliverance in this respect : but the eyes of the people of Germany have not yet been turned . towards their Governments, as the writer of the letter from Elberteld adirins, with a peti tion to pay a new indirect tax for the advantage of wir iminrifact es.—(Frankfort Gmnan Gazette, Oct. 2, soted to be tplotcdfrant a Rhenish Paper) I\Lidarne Krodener, says a Swiss Paper, is at present in the town of Saeckingen, in Baden, six leagues front Basle. Travellers pretend to have i setreher last week iu the neighbourboodet Wald shut, but strictly watched by the Batten police.— Iler finances seem to be iha bad condition, and she herself to be abandoned by many of her truest followers.. Her secretary, it is said, has been obliged, for want of farther means of subsistence in the train Of " the lady," to seek his fortune elsewhere. It is stated, that Professor Lachenal has returned to his native town with the remains of his dilapidated fortune, to lament his creduli ty in retirement ; and that others have been obliged to do the same : that an estate which Ma dame Krudener possessed in Germany has been sold by her creditors for 80,000 florins, and that another is on sale. However, she still keeps op her connexions with her adherents and disciples in Switzerland. _ FROM THE ELBE, SEPT. 4.—The frequent con ferences which the Crown Prince of Sweden Iraq had for some weeks past with the Minister Von Engstrom, and this last with the French Ambas sador at the - Swedish Court, excite a belief that the Bourbon Courts may be at length disposed to recognise the Crown Ptince of Sweden and his male heirs, as the legitimate heirs of the Swedish Throne. This prospect excites the more joy in Sweden, as 'that country has always been closely Connected with France, and in some measure feels tinatural want of a friendly connexion with that Power. The differences with England about the visiting of Engl sh ships on the Swedish coast are happily adjusted to the entire satisfaction of Great Britain, so that the political horizon of Swed e n appears to become brighter than it ,was a few :months ago. Baussees, Majesty the King, before he set out for the If-agile, resolved to em latoy, in 'active serVic - e - abovelSifOfficers, hitherto aiii• half-pay. They are mostly destined for the Colnial service. •The expenee of the building of the new Royal Palace, of which his Majesty has approved the d al) is estimated at 3,000,000 lio•rins... An Eng • fish Cabinet Messenger front London,, a Courier front Cambray, and another from: Paris, have isrolight dispatelies for the British Minister here Lord Claucarty. EARBADO4 ( s. On the 17th day of June,' his Excellency Lord - C o mB r : um F . t h e n ets Governor * o f Barbadoes, triatie* the, following Speech to the Council and General , Assernhly.:— " Mr. President, and Gentlemen of the Connell; ,!• - .

To Sou were known his gene and social virtues; and with you 1 lament, that this We received this morning the Paris Papers of Tuesday last. The following are extracts : " PARIS, OCT. 7.—Yesterday the King, ac companied by the. Duchess d'Angouleme, and the Great Officers of his Household, heard mass in the Cha p el of the nuilleries.

" It is stated in the Affiches de Nantes, that the 'French stlip Jean Charles, Captain Peyta vin, which sailed' on the 11 t h of July from the Havanna!), was, after quitting the Channel of Bahama, chased and captured by a Goelette pri vateer of the Independents of Florida, having a white flag with a green cross.

We took with some anxiety to the Revenue Statement of the present Quarter, which is made up at the Exchequer this day. As the accounts are not dosect until four o'clock, we cannot gratify our Readers with the. result ; but we confidently anticipate, that the CONSOLIDATED FUND will be equal to that of the Quarter ended the 10th of O c t o ber, 1816, and afford another gratifying pronl, l of the increasing prospetity of ille'Country.
