GERMAN AND DUTCH PAPERS. • RUSSIAN FRONTIERS, SEPT. 12.—For a long time no intelligence has excited so much sensation at St. Petersburg!) as the murder of Czeruey George, on the Turkish Territory ; and, as it ap pears, will the approbation of the Turkish Go vernment. It forms the-general subject of con versation.; and even those who consider the reci procal relations of Russia and the-Torte in a corn- Tiprehensive manner, are of opinion that this - event may have serious consequencei ; and look forward to a rupture between the two:Powers, n the Porte does not submit to the conditions whitib, it is tin ' derstood, Russia ha's reeptiredshall lie acceded to. General Count Benningsen, who 'commands in -chief the Russian , Army of Observation on the frontiers of Turkey, has received orders not only »ot to diminish the strength of this army, which was to be partly dissolved when the differences with Turkey seemed to he remoVecl, bind also to raise it 'immediately to 80,000 men effective by uniting se 'Verdi corps, to provision tine frontier fortresses, and, in short, to take every necessary measure to be able, :in case of need, immediately to act on the often 's-sive against Turkey. How much tine EmperOr . is -in earnest in - prosecuting this affair with vigour appears from the circumstance, that in his jour »ey t the southern provinces' he intends to inspect In person the army of Benningsen. Much could indeed be expected till now; from the influence of the English Cabinet with the Porte, in favour - Russia ;. but England is at this moment itself engaged -in differences with Turkey, on account of the lonian islands, and particularly the posses sion of Parga. The powerful Ali Pacha,'who, ...from his great power, inspires the Porte" with the greatest respect, nut to say fear, will not permit :4_,Mgland to have a fortress near his pos4esSions : lie is united in .the bonds of a strict friendship '--evith the Grand Vizier. The Sultan takes no de cided part in the matter. The Graed Vizier is an enemy to Russia, particularly on account of 'the public reprimand which he received . from the - Sultan last Spring, on account of the dilatoriness which lie had manifested in settling the differ ences between 'Russia and the Porte.- He will ~'probably, in titincert with Ali Paella, dbaltin his power to bring on a rupture with Russia, notwith st-anding.tbe pac.fic sentiments of the Sultan. As Ali Paella organizes his numerous army in the European Manner, and has placed - it chiefly under the.command of French officers, and as'the Sultan himself has likewise considerable corps of troops organized in the same manner, the Russian will experience this time a much more ohsti »ate.resistauce titan they have done in preceding wars. TRAbiI{FORT, OCT._ 5.--ACCOI(I4Ig to the last ac counts from "Rome, the negociations relative to '"Concordats 'between the Holy See and several "'German - Courts were far advanced, but not nated. There are four separate negociations—one with Prussia, the second with the Netherlands, 'the third with Bavaria, and the fourth with Fla asover. 'Besides these, overtures have been made ; by the Courts of kVurtemberg, Baden, - &-c. tria is 41:swemployed in the regulation of its - ecclo. - -siastical concerns, and it was for this reas.ou rrissw Metternich was going to Rome. Bitussees, OCT. 'lo.—The Editor of the Engli-b Paper called the Philanthropist, has been brought before a court of justice for calumny, by a' per -ton of - the - mime of Houwel, calling:linos - ell a_ merchate; - - he was condemned to-day by the COr• rectioual Tribunal to one months imprisonment, 1000 florins damages to the party injured, a tine -of 100 florins : to the public treasury, and to the 'costs. The 'following is extracted from a I'rucsian A Swiss Journal appears to fear that the tranquillity ud;ich just been restored to the world may be. soon troubled. One Of its rea sons for alarm is the intended augmentation of ''the French .artny by 80,000 men, and the placing 600 or 700 half-pay officers in active service.— Tint the Swiss Journalist has' doubtless forgotten what was said in the Tribune of the • Honse of Peers, that France has scarcely 20,000 men to bring into the geld : thus an increase of 50,000 is no sulstec-t for alarm. The same Joinnalist is doubtless ignorant that the number of halt pay officers is above 30,000 : the placing of G or 700 of them in active service is a saving for the French Treasury, and certainly it cannot be thence in ferred that the Government has thoughts of teas.'' PRUSSIA.—After the long and fruitless likens.: sions which took place some time ago in the Conn- Acil of State, it is note said at Berlin that it has been resolved, in order to save from ruin the manofac tures of the country, to lay upon English manu factured goods an import duty of 30 per cent CRACOW, SEPT. 1 7.—0 n the 2d of this mouth the CoMmissioners of the three Courts, invested with full powers for the organization of our free city, exchanged the ratifications of a 'Convention, by virtue of which the three Courts consent to an alteration of the 13th -article of_.xhe ,Constitution of the City of Cracow.

In this view three new Ditectors have been appointed, who, together with one of the Plenipotentiaries of the States, ordered an inven. tory to be taken of the discount office at Mehnoe, and the same to be administered till an arrange ment is : made with the shareholders, who are summoned for. this purpose and the bureau here will be removed to the Bank, and be opened again to-morrow.

'' Om._ intercourse with the .Spanish ports is becoming more extensive, and is promoted by both Governments. For some mouths past. the trade of this town with Spain hasbeen evidently favoured by the Court of Spain, and the impediments which formerly existed are removed. This is entirely ascribed to ,thr relation, subsisting betweet . 4 our Court anti that of Madrid, • which are at pieserit on a most fricnOly footing. On the other hand, it may also be owing to the wish of the present Spanish Minister to make the trade Of his country flourish, and his consequent endeavours to rescue troth it the chains in which it has hitherto been held by Eng land. It is regarded-here as a certain tact, that the spirit on which the -connexion between Eng land and Spain depended is daily becoming more cool; and that the Spanish Government,being con vinced of the injurious consequences of favouring the English commercial system, now seeks rather to attach itself to the Continental System. The Court of Madrid is., above all things, desirottS to recover the American Colonies and put an end to the insurrection : the Insurgents are, however, openly favoured by North America, and secretly by England. Spain, therefore, considers only those Powers her real ft ienda who have no inte rest in seeing tree States established in South America, which is the case with respect to the European continental Powers. On "hi" account she has approximated herself to Russia, has con solidated her 'relations %yid) France, and has as much as possible detached herself front England. It is not, however, bel.eved that it is yet intend ed • to give an • active support to Spe.in by sending French and Russian fleets to the colo nies ; at least not the slightest appearance of such a design can be perceived here. Besides, it is confirmed by letters received from Martinique and Guadeloupe, that the Spanish troops in Venezuela and Caraccas have lately obtained important ad vantages, and that the affairs of the Insurgents are.there in a very bad state, as they have long been in Mexico. Buenos-Ayres and Chili are the only quarters in which the Insurgents have supe riority, and whera they are likely to retain it, If cons . iderable einforcements- do not reaelt - .the ft'is true, that Snialibodiei Of ti',4's are occasionally sent front Cadiz to the Colonies, but their 'force is upon the whole very insi;,nifi cant.. The - great expedition, of which so mirth has for a long - time been said, is still far 'from be rg ready to sail." Yestettlay ; about half-past one o'clock, a poor boy, between.)

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1817. The. Paris Papers of Sunday last, which were due this morning, have not come to hand. We have nothing to add to our recent account of the state of the Revenue, which we derived from the most authentic sources, but that our statement admits of no contradiction, and that,it seems to have imposed silence even on those fac tious Grumblers who-never wilt be satisfied with the operations of Government, or•allow merit to any administration, except such as may issue from their own body, and give them a chance for' 'the possession of power and the sweets of office. The following is an extract of a letter from Liverpool, dated 13th inst. received in town this morning " Great exertions are making in every dime. lion for the Patriot cause in Venezuela. -.A ves> set, named the Prince, will sLottly sail from this country, by an indirect course, for America, with a cargo of requisites necessary for the equipment of a military force. The number of British Ad venturers is said to increase every hour." THE FUNDS.--- , Yesterdly was the Settling for the October Account ; and, from tl►e immense quantity of Stock bought and sold during the account, with the great fluctuations in piece, se veral defalcations were anticipated ; but we are glad to state that no such event took place. This morning Consols opened at 8313 for Money, and P. 31/ for the Acentrat they then felt to 82 'rev Money, and 83 for Account. In a few mi nutes they rose to S.2n Money, and 831, at which they were at twelve o'clock. The de pression was in consequence of an unfounded re port, that 80,000 Russians were ordered for the Turkish frontiers, and that a difference would in evitably take place between the two countries. One of the first mercantile houses however in the City has received letters direct from St. Petersbnrgb, of a later date than that from thelAgent of Lloyd's, at Revel, which makes no mention of any such circumstance, neither is it believed by the firm alluded to. Ano ther report was circulated that the Allied troops had been ordered to be withdrawn from France, but which is equally unfounded. . FITZWILLIANI.-4 Letter, with this signature, addressed to the Earl'of, LIVERPOOL, appeared in The Morning Chronicle of yesterday, and some .o.f , its Readers, we find, ridiculously supposed that it was written by Earl FITZWILLIAM, not suffi ciently reflecting on its contents, which chiefly consisted of hackneyetli• common-place, abuse, against Ministers, in allusion to the HABEAS COR PUS SUSPENSIO/4 ACT. But one of the purposes, and perhaps the main purpose, of the letter in question, was to interfere with the course of Law and Justice, with respect to the .prisoners who are to be tried for ha.ving taken part in the Riots at Derby. As Earl FIT nv t !AIMS! is 01 tile Opposition Side in Politics, .it,is.not surprizing some of the silly Readers of The Morning Chronicle - theitild fall Into the mistake of_ conceiVing.that the letter was rea lly written by ti►e Noble LorAll.bitt what must be thought . of the public Print whit!) col'lld lead them into suel, an erroneous supposition, and one that might have been injurious to the cha racter of the Noble Lord, if the wiser part of the Public could possibly imagirke that his LOrdship would degrade 'himself by writing and . subscrib. ing hi s na me to , a composition so despicable in it self,and so mischievous in its tendency. The Morning -Chronicle, however, still ought to make atonement to the "Noble Lord.,.whose title it thus wantonly and most reprehensibly assumed, and honestly to confess that the letfer . came from one of its own squad of factious scribblers. Yesterday Connt gtmsTER had an audience of the PktiNCE REGENT ate Carlton-house. AIR. CURRAN. We stop the Press to stave, that this distin guished Irishman expired at Nine o'clock last night. His last moments were so tranquil, that those around him could scarcely mark the moment of expiration. It will be some consolation to the friends" of Mr. CURRAN, to hear, that tho , q;b. surprised by sickness, at a distance from his home, he was not condenined to receive the last offices from the hands of strangers„ three of his children, Captain „CURRAN, of the Navy, his Son, at the Irish Bar, and his Daugb. ter,Mrs. TAYLOR, were fotunately in London, and. had the mournful gratification of paying the last duties of piety and affection to their illustrious Father.
