Whether Colonel Von Massenbach suffers innocently, time will show : he is tillable to defend himself against the single accusation that he offered to sell the suppression of certain MSS.

The same ingenious artist who has offered to destroy that wonder of nature, the fall of the Rhine at Schaffhatisen, now makes, in the Bareuth Gazette of the 9th September, the useful proposal to draw off the Lake of Constance, like a great cask of liquor, and to convert it, for the benefit of the cattle, into a fertile meadow.

SWAM QuIS DICERE FAISUM AUDLAT LONDON ) TUESDA Y, SEPTEMBER 23, 1817. We received this morning the Paris Papers of Saturday last. A Royal Ordonnauce of-consi derable length is published in the Moniteur, con= taining a great number of commercial regulations applied to Marseilles, with a view to give to that city, as a free port, greater advantages than it has hitherto enjoyed. The following are ex tracts " PARIS, SEPT. 20.—The King transacted busi ness yesterday With the Duke deltichelieu, Pre sident of the Council of Ministers.

Three young girls have been devoured by these animals : one in the forest of Cliardenois, and the other two in the woods adjoining Mireheau and Pontailler-sur-Saone. , At Booze, near Beaune, a wolf furiously attacked six persons suc cessively in the middle of the village, and wounded them all. A young •man had the courage to seiie it, calling at the same time for assistance, and the wolf was killed in his arms. Near AUXUMIC two children from 13 to 14 years of age were also, attacked by a wolf, one of them Would have been killed but for the courage of his little comrade, who never ceased beating the ani mal until he let go l,ie hold.

" FRANKFORT, SEPT. 15.--Tlce Baron de Ma rondet, French Minister to the Hanseatic Towns, Strived bete yesterday from Hatnbtirgli. "SPIRE, SEPT. 13.—1 t is understood tn'be de termined, that the City of Cologne is to .be-the seat of the new University for the Rhenish Pro 4. vinces." The Times asserted yesterday that the etittimu• nication from ST. HELaNA, which first appeared in The Morning Chronicle, and which we inserted on Friday last, was sent to. The Chronicle by the author of the Pamphlet on the Power of Russia, which set The Times, The Chronicle, and The Courier, all together by the ears. The Chronicle of this day denies that it received the communication from the alleged source. Our Readers will re member that we treated' the article in question chiefly as a fabrication, as it was hardly to be supposed that if BUONAPARTS wanted an impor tant favour of the British Government that he would abuse it, as he is made to do in the article allotted to. The probability is that this said com munication, if it had any foundation in truth, was made the vehicle of ,factious spleen, and a handle to abuse Ministers. 'lt abounded with ab surdities, contradictions, and shallow speculations, and what excited a little curiosity at first on ac' count of the notorious character to which. it re' fated, is now justly consigned to contempt. It is observable, that this flimsy, yet venomous ar• tiele, came first into the paper which was the ye.. Icicle of MARIA LOUISA I 3 pretended Protest, and . other recent fabrications. Does the Public Print in question knowingly ,aid and assist in these fa, brications, or is he thought by Wags abroad or at home, a credulous dupe," a greedy gudgeon, ready to 'swallow any'political hoax, provided it is baited with abuse of his own country ? The work on the Power of Russia, is . ascribed to Sir Ron Ear WILSON, seems to have bewildered The Morning Chronicle, . indeed the ., author himself seems to be bewildered, for he endeavoured to excite apprehensions of formidabto danger, but does not appear to have suggested any adequate remedy. But The Chronicle, advert ing to some of the Acts of Russia, says, " Why were they not prevented ? Because they could not be prevented." It must be admitted that The Chronicle has shewn great sagacity in this answer to itself, and it must be acknowledged that its answers, either to itself or others, are by no,means in general equally sat isfactory. Another instance of equal sagacity is shewn by The Chronicle in these words, " Would you go to War with Russia because she is too powerful? Certainly not." We hope our Ministers will derive a lesson from The Chronicle, and never go to War when they are sure of being defeated. How kind is it in The Chronicle thus t• deliver political axioms to a Ministry whom it is constantly attempting to overturn. There is some inconsistency in this conduct, but it is generous, and inconsistency h quite in character with The Morning Chronicle. But we are informed by The Chronicle that " the Government which the each, if left to themselves, would have . adopted, Must necessarily have been strong." Ibis is a se= riot's truth. It would have been strongenough perhaps to have oVerturned all other Governments; but thanks to the wise perseverance of Great Britain, when the spirits of all_olher Powers were broken-hearted and sinking into ruin, her ex ample roused them, and , Europe was saved from the revolutionary monster, whether in the shape of a Banditti, or a single Usurper: But The Chronicle is too mischievous to be jested with. It wants to set the revolutionary spirit of France again in motion, for it says, " Europe can never Lplace any reliance on France till her soil is freed from the pollution of a foreign soldiery." To pass over the indecent manner in which our part of the Arm of Occupation is mentioned, may it not be inferred ;.that . the Cabinet of France is now in- a great ilegreecomposed of Revolutionas y Chlrautcra, t Isat I • The Chronicle wants to give play to their talents, 'and what would be the consequence—the general disturbance of all Europe, the probable revival of all the bloody horrors of the Revolution, and the subversion of all the ancient Continental Go vernments. Has not then Russia full reason to put herself in a posture of defence, and must not those Politicians be mere Tyros, who cannot see, in the gradual formation of the new Cabinet of France, the evident imbecility of her amiable KING, and in the uncertainty of his life, full cause for Russia to prepare herself for events, by timely caution, the result of judicious foresight. The Duke of KENT is resolutely proceeding iti his system of retrenchment at Brussels. It is to be regretted, however laudable in itself, that it 15 not practised in this Country, as might reason' ably be expected. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of GLOUCESTER intend ^to embark from Wey mouth for Plymouth, in his Majesty's ship Tigriso on Thttrsday next, and wind and weather per• Knitting, play be expected to arrive there the. to!' lowing day.
