GERMAN PAPERS.

Arqsauao, t
It is affirmed that Prince Itletternich will not leave Vittnna till
be sets out fur Italy.
Since the beginning of this month, there have been frequent
meetings, at the Print's house. of the Ambassalors of the Great
Powers, which ate supposed to have been relative to thepoticv re-
cently adapted by the Court of St.Jamcs's towards ihrittepublics in
South America. After the breaking up of one of meetings,
expresses ware deapatcheal from Prince Nlettemich's office to Paris,
Berlin, and St. Pe'ersburgh.
Sir Henry Wellesley, the British Ambassador, was not present
at any of these meetings.
Clotssa, JAN. 24.
According to the latest accounts from Constantinople, Ibrahim
Paella had really landed the greater part of his troops in Candle,
and gone into winter quarters. This probably is the immediate re-
sult of of the failure of the plans against the Mores, through the
defeat of Colototroai. Ancient experience, however. teaches, and
recent events have proved, that the 'Forks never venture oa any en-
terprire, unlewsome plot is concerted to favour itssucceas. Now, as
Ibrahim Pacha has sent front Suds 20 ships, with troops and ammu-
nition On board, to Coron, and seem. to be waiting foe some new
event, inshy people believe that the dissensions among the Greeks
are not yet quite terminated. The Orlental Spectator, in its twin-
hers of the 17th and 23d Dbc.eontains an article against the Greeks,
which exceeds in virulence all thepreceding ones. We have never
yet stood forward as the unconditional advocates of the insurgents,
yet we think that even if the heavy accusations which the Spectator
brings against the Greeks were perfectly conformable to the tract,
they have merited a milder sentence by their heroic efforts to ob-
tain an existence as • Christian nation, which entirely distinguishes
their cause front that of the Carbonari. The article is evidently
intended to withhold from the Greeks the support of the Philhel-
lenes. But it is drawn up with too glaring a partiality, to be able
to change the favourable disposition towards the Greeks, which, '
according to the Spectra r's own confession, prevails among all
classes of people, and all political societies in Europe.
The Gazette of Florence has accounts from Zaate of 10th Janti_.
ary, which say—" Six Greek men of war lately sailed past this
island. to renew the blockade not only of Patras, but of the whole
Gulf of Lepanto"
The same Gazette says—" We have not yet receiver, any con-
tlrmation of a :sliding of Ibrahim Paella at Lertlon ; nor, 'flitted, of
the appearance of a squadron ois the coast of the Mores."

Alarming reports are spread from Belgrade respecting the inter-
nal state of Servia. It is reported that in several til.t.flo4 there is
a serious spirit of discontent directed against the Judges (Knescs),
the people resisting the heavy taxes, which become more and more
burdensome on account of the present state of the Turkish empire.
These reports are probably exaggerated ; it they should he con-
firmed, the Porte would be threatened with another 3CtiOU!

INUNDA-TION-S-14V-6 E R 3f

The flarnyurgh bailiwick of Ritzebiittel, together with Cuxha-
ven and the Isle of Neeawerk, belonging to it, was visited by a most
tremendous tstamity on the night between the 3J and dth of Fe-
bruary. The-wind, after it had blown with great violence from
the west, turned on the 3il to the northward, and continued to rage
without ceasing' with the fury of a hurricane. The water, increased
by the spring tide whiCii happened on thatday, rose to an unexam-
pled height the waves were driven with terrific force over
the dike, and washed aivay parts of it in several places, in Cux-
haven, to the very base. Human powerewas of no avail; in
a few momenta the furious billows inundated the whole bailiwick,
and overthrew in their way 'whatever opposed their course. A few
inconsiderable tracts of heath '.0.11, situated somewhat higher, alone
eszaped. The inhabitants, who Ifikd suffered severely from the cala-
mities of war, and who have beeligteatly reiluceti in their circum-
stances by the unfavourable price or corn, are totally ruined, and
without the strenuous aid of the benevolent, they cannot help them-
selves. The husbandman has hot only lost his crops of winter
corn for the present year, but both arable ant pasture land have
been rendered unserviceable for several years, and it will require a
great expense to bring them-again into condition. for which money
is unfortunately wanting. Great 'immbers of cattle hare been
drowned ; many houses have been so conSpletely carried away as to
leave no traces behind, and still more have(eceived such injury as
to be incapable of repair. Several persons have:found their graves in
the flood, and many lost all they possessed, and large sums will be
required to relieve only the most urgent necessities. The Jupe
Nemverk is totally laid waste, all the cattle there have perished,
and the inhabitants saved their lives with the loss of nearly all their
property. The general distress is farther 4g:seated by the abso-
tate want of water fit for di inking. In this great calamity, the
liberal aid of the philanthropic will certainly no: be withheld. A
Committee appointed for the purpose is now engaged in investigat-
ing the state, wants, and losses of each, in centring the most
pressing necessities, and in providing shelter, clothing, and food.
Contributions for this purpose will be most thankfully received by
De. Banks. Actuary of the Bailiffs' Court, and also by the under-
signed. and a public ReCOltit will be rendered of their conscientious
app!ication.
