STATE PAPER. PRUSSIAN PATENT. We-FREDERIC W‘LLIAM, King of Prussia, Sec.' &c. make known and declare as follows: . " The wish' to secure our faithful subje&s and the neighbouring States of the North of Germany during the war, and to preserve and confirm the duration of the blessings of Peace, was at all times the- intention of Wr indefatigable endeavours. These wholesome measures were made known, upon some recent occa sions, .as the Objea of our late Patent dated January 27, 1866, according t6which the Eleaoral States of BrtinswiCk Lunenburgh in Germany, were taken pos session of by our troops, When the administration of the same passed into our hands. But- in consequence of the exchange of the Eleaorate. of Hanover, in consideration of the cession of three of the Provinces of our Monarchy, and for the permanent tranquillity of , our isubjeas and .the neighbour,jng States, we have fognd it inclispensibly necessary. to - enter into and, conclude a Convention with His Majesty the Emperor of . the French and King of Italy ; and as-the Eleetoral States of the House of Bruns-: wick, situated in Germany, were obtained by the Emperor NAPOLEON by right of conquest,. Nxe,here= by declare, that the rightful possession of the territory .of that house has passed over to us,, in consideration ot.the cession of three. of our provinces, and is now subje& to our power only ; consequently, from the present time, the Government and the. Administra tion. of these countries will be administered simply . in our name alone, and under our supreme autho rity. - • `‘ We therefore call upon; all persons, whatever may have been the funEtions assigned to them, to execute these funcaions only in our name, and under our authority.' " Count SCHTJLENEERG KEIINERT, and the Commissioners who, are attached to him, expe& no less than that all the Prelates, thd Burghers, and the inhabitants in general, will obediently 6nform themselves to the order of things which a new (era has rendered necessary for their tranquillity and well-being; and in so doing they will afford His Majesty a prOof of their devotion to their Country. " So, on our part, nothing shall be negleEted to confirm them in the persuasion of our paternal affec tion, and odr sincere wish to render them happy. (Signed) " FREDERIC WILLIAM. SCHULENBERG. " April 1, 1806." " HAUGWITZ." Yesterday, pursuant to public advertisement, a Meeting of the West-India Merchants took place at the London Tavern, for the purpose of taking into Consideration the new Duty upon Sugars, &c. . The Meeting was fully attentied, and Lord PEN RHYN was unanimously called to the Chair. Mr. HIBEERT moved. the Resolutions, and spoke ,t great length. Sir STEPHEN LUSHINGTON, Mr. MANNING, and Mr. HANKEY, also took a full view of the subjeet. ,A Resolution to the following purport was unani mously agreed to : . . Resolved, That, in the present depressed state of the Sugar Market, the British Planter is unable to bear 'any additional Duty, and that the Committee be instruded to prepare a tvle- Thorial on the State of the Sugar Colonies, t 6 bo laid before His MajeFty's N 1 niste , s. The city of Frankfort must feel very comfortable now as it is released fn - .an all 'trouble, legislative, defensive, or financial, since the Emperor of France has been so good as to..secare it with French Troops, and to exempt it froth all care and anxiety respect ing the payment of those Troops, by placing its elvil Establishment wholly also under French super intendance and protection. In the Polytechnic Schools of France geography is taught as an indispensible branch of knowledge, but it will be well if the aptest scholars can keep pace with B ONA P A R T E: S divi s ions of Europe. There, has not been such a revolution of names and terms since the introduction of the chemical nomenclature, which sent the oldest chemists in Europe back to their Studies. As the POPE is expeeled to be removed, to Venice, it would -be proper to gratify the people by some-. thing like an appearance of their ancient Govern ment, and to vest His Holiness with the . title of . Loge, There is a pliant humility in his cliaraaer, that would, no doubt, reacUly induce him to submit to the new designation. The new Opera of The IrhitePlume was fully established in public esteem at its repetition .last night. —The Piece has undergone much retrench- Ment, and went off with better effect. The dancing, which se heavily retardeil.the conclusion; is Omit ted, and the Piece therefore closes with a better im pression pn. the Audience.---The Adors in general acquitted themselves so well on the former night, .that . - nothing can be added to the commendation they de.;e f rved. ' The Muiic - - appears to stilt more advantage; and the Whole constitutes, a very arnus ing.drarriatiC "'Mange. The Audience was very . nu, Merous,-and were prbfuSe in applause. The Forty Thieves have contrived to steal into Public favour, and their Instigators, Accessories, and Managers behind the curtain will no doubt be Re ceivers of a considerable I: ooly. It is not because . at4. - CharaEters which belonged to Miss DE CAMP have been actually assigned to ether Performers that she. has been induced to relin quish her connexion with Drury-lane Theatre, but because new Characters, to which she might have fair pretensions, have, it seems, been allotted to More recent Actresses. This forestalling of parts: is held, in the theatrical. world, to be as strong a Bound of complaint _as an absolute deprivation of Charaders, long in possession. latte r AcCounts are just arrived from Gibraltar of the end of February. The Hon.. Mrs. Fox and , amily were safely arrived. The Garrison was in. Perfed health. Dr. JAmEs FELLOWES, who was ordered out there last November twelvemonths, when the Pestilential F ever raged with go much violence, has obtained Pass Potts and letters of recommendation from the S panish Governor, with permission to visit the se-. Feral places in Spain where it had made its appear ance. ln consequence of this indulgence be had already pursued his inqUiries in different parts, and then at Malaga ; at which place, during the la3t sickly season, between 20 and 30,000 inhabitants had been carried off. From thence he proposed listfing Ciz and Seve, here it had been equally la tal. Fro ad m a Gentleman w of his abilities we may expeet a satisfaelory account of the rise and progress j of so drttadful a malady. <NI\ FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE, INNIBLIRGH, APRIL 5.—A body of 18,000 Prus• sians has received orders to occupy the Dutcliy of Lauenburgh, and to ad against. Swedish Pomerania. The Corps will be divided into two Columns, under the orders of Generals KALKREUTII and SCHNET TAU : they were to march. on the 7th of this month. General KALKREUTH'S Corps; on its ar rival at Ukermunde and Paspwalk, was to wait , for further orders. It consists of the Grenadier Batta lion of Schliefen the Grenadier Battalion of Hal, sen ; the Regiments of Burke, Pirch, and Braun schweig Oels ; ten Squadrons of .the Regiment of Konigin ; the Regiment of. Pfalz-.Bayerbesides Artillery. The Troops under General SCHMET TAU were assembling in ,the 'Country between Harleberg, Perleberg, and Kyritz, 'and are intended to occupy Lauenburgh : they are composed of the Grenadier Battalion pf Hausten'; the Regiments of Kleist, Tschamrner, Kallkammer, and Reitzen stein ; a Regiment of Cuirassiers, and a Batta lion of Hussar's. The King of Sweden has made every preparation to defend himself *vigorously at Stralsund. Extra& of a Letter from the Swedish .Head•-qtar ten •at Laage, in the Country, of Mecklenburgh; dated the 30th of March :—" His Majesty, before . his departure from Ratzburgh, upon the 29'th, inst. received the. visits of. all the Meinbers . of Govern ment, and principal persons of the place ; testified his .satiSfaelion at the proofs they. had given of fide-• lity and attachment to the British Government ; and thanked them for their Attention to himself during his. stay at Ratzburgh. His Majesty deigned to add. the most satisfthOry• assurances of the proteetiOn! which the inhabitants of the Country ofi Lauenburgh Should always_ find in his Troops. His Majesty set out on horseback, breakfasted at Roppendorff, and , slept the first night at Gadebusch. On the 28th he set out for Waaren.; and..on the • 29th he arrived at Schwann. Threeßripcies of the Army.are in the. vicinity of,Laage, and will withdraw in two .Co lumps into Pomerania. His, Swedish Majesty coin-. mands the first Column ; and the second is under : the Comniand of Lieut.. Gen. Baron D'AamrELn'r. The Brigade of Baron DE VEGESECK will enter Po merania on the sameday that the rest of the Army will - set out from thence." PARIS, MARCH 12.—The abrupt departure.of'the British Ambassador from Cassel is by nb means to be ascribed_ to a recall from Mr. Fox, as is stated in the Public Papers : it is rather the effe& of the fol lowing circumstances :—When the Hessian Am-' bassador, V ONDER MALssuaoft; requested an au dience here, it was refused him, with the intimation that • the residence' of Mr. Ta - imoa, at Cassel, was highly displeasing, and that all diplomatic relations were suspended. A COUrier was immediately dis , . patched ' from this City to the Imperial Charge d'4lfaires, M. COURBON ST. GENET, at Cassel.— In compliance with the Dispatches he carried out with him, the latter delivered a Note, dedking that he would leave Cassel in twenty-four hours' unless the above-mentioned Ambassador were sent away. - Upon this -the Hessian Minister for Fo reign Relations communicated the affair to the Eng lish Ambassador ; and said, in • hiS . -Memoit, that it was not in the power of the Eledor'to prote& his (the Ambassador's)--person any longer. -.The'depar- 7 - ture of Mr. TAYL , . - nt was the consequence: 'During: this transadion, the 7th and 'Bth Corps of the Army surrothided . the Hessian States with 60,000 After Mr. TAYLOR had left Cassel, the: diplomatic relations 'With the Hessian Court, which had been entirely broken off, - were again renewed. The Ele&or of Hesse has been required to send hither an extraordinary Embassy. ;. • The Princess STEPHANIE BEAUHARNOI S, the bi;ae of the EledOral Prince of Baden; was eduCated ‘ at a Boarding-Schopl in 'this City, and is only sixteen. years old. AccO l fding to the marriage contra t, the Prince is to receive annually 52.00,000 guilders fur his establishment. . . The Vice-Consul, RUFFIN, wbb has arrived here from St. Petersburgh, was provided with passports by Prince CZARTOE.INS xi, both . forhis journey hither and' his return. Notwithstanding the War, the, Consul-G'eneral, LESSEPS, continues to "reside at St. Petersburgh, and he sent off RUFFIN on account of the embargo on the Shipping., According to the new. Federative Compa4, 6,000 Ba.varians, 4,000 Wirtemburghers, and 2,000 Troops of 'Baden, Will be kept ,in the pay of France (pro-' bably destined for invasion and colonial service), and a number of Frenchmen, 'proportionate to the superiority of force, will remain in. those Countries. Will the Court of Hesse concur in this system ? The Eleetoral Prince (and future King) of Baden, who resides in the . Thuilleries, near the Hereditary Prince of Bavaria, sai,v his bride STEPHANIE at the, Boarding-school of Madame CASEAN., The Cabinet Minister, VON REITZENSTEIN, on his return to Carlsruhe will receive the Port-folio of Foreign Affairs, is received with great distinction at Court. The, public opinion relative' to the contribution laid on an Imperial City, is, that it was' occasioned by the commerce with English commodities. At the grand Filtein .Nlay, a nomination of Dukes and Peers is- expeded: Madame DE — NAVAILLAC, exited from this City, obtained permission, on account of ill-health, to re side at Aix, instead . of tl,i Isle de St. Marguerite. Mesdames DE GEVRES and D'AvAux are not far from the Capital. Count Mu NAB iNr, together with Counsellor ABEL, is negotiating the indemnification of the Archduke FERDINAND for the loss of the country of Brisgau by the Peace of Presburgh. He was forMerly Mi nister of the the. Duke of MODENA, and he is like wise endeavouring to bring into notice the claims. concerning Massa and Caarara. The Emperor's desire is, that the partitions in Germany shall shortly be completed, by which France places between herself Prussia, and Austria, various small States, most of which belong to the Federative System. Prince JosErti is to be King of the Two Sicilies ;, his consort is still here, and in mourning for her deceased niece, 'the wife of General M. MATTHIEU'. In June the Einperor will go to Italy, .and be pre sent, in person, at the Coronation that is to take place at Rome. Letters from the Banks of the Mayn, dated March 22, state, that besides the two principal Powers' in Germany, and besides Bavaria, Wirtern burgh, Baden, Saxony, Hesse, &c. sotre.other large States will still, be erected in Germany. , • Prince JOACIIIM, Duke of Cleves and Berg,,was born March ,the 25th, 17.71, and married on the 20th of St:nuary, 1800, the Princess ANNUNCIADE CAROLINE, sister of NA-POLEON, born the 25th of March, 1783. The Dutchy of Berg contains 54 geographical square miles, and 261,504 inhabitants. The air nual clear revenue of this Dutchy, whose mann fadureg are so flourishing, is estimated at 300,000 florins. The importatiol , of English goods is now prohibited. The Dutchy of aieves in 1794, contained forty square miles, and 97,000 inhabitant's. By the Trea ty of 1795 5 Prussia ceced to France that part of the Dutchy situated on the Left Bank of the Rhine, com prehending 16 square miles and 40,000 . inhabitants. There is consequently left on the Right Bank a tract of 24 square miles, and a population of 57,000 souls. It is said,' that the Emperor's mother will receive a Principality in Italy. HANOVER, APRIL 2.—Within these few days we &pea the formal occupation of this Country by Prussia, to which it 'has been given, instead of 'the three ceded Prussian Province s . • The Government will' then be condu&ed solely in the name and autho rity of his PrusSian Majesty. . A Mail from Gottenbhrgh arrived yesterday ;. and. a rumour prevailed, that it. had brought intelligence that the Russians had occupied Warsaw. We consi- t i der this.'as very likely to happen-; ialthOugh it might not haveyettalten place, , it will not, we are:per suaded, be long deferred. Russia Will not look tamel ly on, and see BONAPARTE., and his instrument the King of PausstA,- occupy the entrance into the Baltic. In'cOntemplation of hOstility 'With Pru'S'sia, Warsaw would naturally - be the .spt , to. , .vbicb the movements of the Russian Armies Would be first direetecL The poSaeSsion of it gives them the Com mand of the Vistula, ..of .the new acquisitions in Poland, and Inns!: much embarrass Prussia. The .1-iamburcrh 'Mails *which 'arrived yesterday were brought from ux.haven by the . ' .New Rope, Capt. REYNOLDS, there being no Packet on the ocher side. This Vessel sailed at'three o'clock on Sunday, afternoon.' By Gentlenran Who came over in her we learn, that there. were seven English Vessels at Cuxhaven. • A Letter from Hamburgh, dated: April says, " Notwithstanding the Elbe is, on the requisition Of France, - to •be shut against 'F.hglish Vessels, the Prussian Minister hast6-:day gieit. his most solemn assurance, that the Malls shall continue undiSitirbed, and that the English .

In the summer we 'have races and other amuse- meats, ,as there are about 8,000 prisoners who have their paroles, among whom are the 'Earl of YAR MOUTH, and the Hon. Gen. ABERCROMBX." 'The trading Smack Nelson, from Aberdeen, armed by Government, commanded by Captain SMITH, on her voyage from Aberdeen to London, was at tacked by a French Lugger Privateer, off Flaw borough Head, on Sunday last : Capt. SMITH im mediately prepared for a&ion, stood up to the Lug ger, and fired several guns ; upon which the Lugger immediately hauled her wind, and stood out to sea, in great haste. To the spirited ,conduel of Capt. SMITH, the owners have certainly been indebted for the safety of the vessel and cargo. UpUn the Pri vateer coining in sight, Capt. SMITH hoisted- his colours, and lowered his gaff top-sail,. as if making signals for assistance, which had the etre& of - com pletely intimidating the people on board the Priva teeer, who ran out to sea with great precipitation. Several colliers, and other vessels,, were in sight— they,. also, are indebted to Capt. SMITH'S judicious coudu&, for their safety. • It is stated, in Letters from Deal; of Thursday, that a Messenger had arrived there with two Foreign Officers; supposed. to .be Prussians, and set of for town.

The landlady of the King's Arms public-house, at the corner of MoOre street, stated, that the night before this Custom -house Officer was 'drinking in her bar, when seein ,, half a dozen of wine, he instantly seized it in the King's name, and ordered a person who was in the room to assist him. He carried'the , wine out of t he honse,. but being pursued by a person belonging to the house,, he assaulted him, and charged him on the watch. The: Custom-house Officer being sworn, deposed,' that he saw a quantity of wine given through a back . window, out of the house, without - a Permit, in con sequence of which he made the seizure. This was positively denied' by several witnesses ;. and the Magistrates committed him to stand his trial for the assault, and also advised that be should be in dicted for - perjury. BOW-STREET.—Yesterday a Gen tleman_ of respec tability preferred a complaint against a Hackney Coachman, for an assault and false imprisonment. The Coachman being brought before the Magistrates, the Gentleman stated, that the night before, between Jeven'arid twelve o'clock, he was coming through the Strand 'with his wife; it was raining, and he called a coach; but though there were several drawn up in the street, he could not find a coachnian. I LA \ consequence of this, he went into a public house 'near 'the place, but was instantly shoved out, and told there was no, coachmen there. He then pro . ceeded to take the numbers of the different 'coaches, and while doing this, the Defendant rushed on him, and, .seizing him by the collar, charged. him. with stealing the number label off his coach; and with the assistance of the watchman, dragged him to the watchThouse, where he was detained for some hours. The Mpgistrates instantly committed the Coach mp-i to take his trial for the assault, and directed the Gentleman to prefer a complaint against the Constable of the night,, who, it appeared, was in a state of in toxication, on that night, in the watch-house.
