The death of the assassin of ,Vl. Kotzebue his
been erroneously announced in the Journals. l'oe
wretch was removed, at ten o'clock lest (light, hoot
the civil hospital to a neighbouring pristoi, koosis
under the appellation of a house of correction.
He fended whilst being conveyed thither. The
physicist's have declared, that it was impos.ible he
could recover. It is even probable, that he will trot
live above a few days.
The indispensable necessity of proctoring noire
material information, relative to the motives alvels
induced Satoh to commit the crime, was strongly
fell. The preliminary depositions not op:dining'
sufficient, a Special Co iiiiii 1”,10t1, on the part or
our Court, has been appointed, campostil of
Judges of the first rank, and presided by the
Chancellor of the Superior Aulic M. de
Hohenhorts. limy have already connu,swed pro-
ceediage. There is, indeed, nu time to lose, if it
be hoped to procure further confescon from Send!.
Notwithstanding the pain of his wounds, Saudt
is very relm, and continuer to rejoice at ha►iug suc-
ceeded ii, his enterprise.

All the family of M. de Kotzebue are about to
quit our town, Ili %%hick evil' thing email * *VA

of the widow and the eldest of the Mivies de
Kotzebue.

The u►sassicntiou of M. de Kotzebue will pro-
bably be followed by consequence. nut forearen by
the iiiiii.iated wretches who armed the hand of
young South.
Zl. de St. tire, the Russian Minister at the Court
of the Grand Duchy of Baden, proceeded to
helm, on the tad install!, personally to collect .01
the details of this deplorable event, and, at the
same time, to cause to he delivered to him all t• e
'Ewe's that might be found in the Porte-feuil,.
M. de Kotzebue, iti his quality of Private Cur, a.
poodent to the Emperor Alexander.
Notwithstanding the obstinate denial of Satoh,
it appears more and more certain that he had ac-
complices. An innkeeper of N'Veiribcrg has deposed.
that when Saudi lodged at his house he was acconi-
paint dby soother young man. Other persons have
given evidence to the same effect : but the un-
known disappeared at the town.gate of Mank-tats

SATURDAY. Aram 17, 1819.

French. Dutch, Flanders, and Hamburglt Mail.;

have arrived, bringing a great variety of continental
Papers. It is stated that SANDT, the assassin of
the celbrstert KOTZEBUE, was still living at Man-
halm ou the 7th of this month, but that no hopes
were entertathed of his eventual recovery. The
seine etithusiiistic feeling that led him to the com-
nllll6loll of this murder has lost no part of its inten-
sity, even Lallll4lot lie seventy of his bodily suffer-
togs. So far indeed has he been from evincing any

contrition for 1113 digit., that he still glories in it its

e virtuous ellurt to relieve his country from one
whom lie had taught himself to consider as au
enemy. Efforts have been repeatedly made to
dis-
•.over whether this wretched young man had any
associates, and whether lie was, 1:a has been coil&
delitly asserted, the instrument of n party; but he
persists in his original assertion, and denies with
exultation that soy other person has shared in
his
guilty enterprise.

The Brussels Papers communicate some intelli-

that city, which has led to serious rencontres be.

several lives. The recurrence of such violence has,
however, been prevented by the activity of the
Civil Authorities, assisted by the other military
corps not itnplicated in the original quarrel.

•Lt•ACE, vreauAnx 26.

An affray, attended with bloodshed, has taken place near
Weiss.mhurg, between some French and some Ra.•arnao
troupe. The affair is related as follows:—Abut 100 paces
beyond Weisseniburg is the first Bavarian outpw.t. Near
this is a public•hunse which is mach frequented by French
trnups of the rail...oil of Weissernbu►s (the Legion of the lure).
Two grenadiers were there some days ago at the same time
with some Bavarian soldiers, rut into a quarrel with awn.,
and u.ie beateu. They immediately fescluil to their assist.
sore some of their CUlllrAllee, who tame in great number,,
sad are said to have used the Bavarians very roughly. It is
statrd that several are seveirly wounded. Tie nest ac-
counts will give u. 111011: particulars of a circurnstauce
which is the inure de.agreealde, as the guru.] understanding
between the French and Bavarian authurities has nut
hitherto experienecd the slightest interruption, and the in-
habitants are united by the ties of affinity. •

We have hitherto wo,lnd its vain that the frontier on this
side might be regulated. This liar nut yet beeu done. Ac-
cording to the Treaty of Paris, of 1815, a tract of 150 touts
iu diameter, on the left bank of the Laster, beyond Weis-
beinbing, shall liclung to Flaure, but this tract ;or rayon) is
toot uses kid out. Helire arise many difficulties, which it
would be for the interest of both aides to have te►minated.
Similar disputes frequently arise in the mountains with else
puuliiivra. All this would nut happen if the couditiosia or
the Treaty were at length executed, and the (mistier de-
termined.

The accounts were closed last morning at the
Stock Exchange, and two defaulters were declared,
but fur very small amounts. Consuls experienced
a further fill yesterday ; they opened fur the ac-
count at 73t, And fell at one time so low as
but they subsequently improved, and filially closed
at 73, being sousevtliat lower than they were on the
day preceding. The same depression of which we
spoke yesterday, couzioued to prev.lil during the
day ; but in the causes to which we then attributed
it are not likely to i.e ise before the CHANCELLOR
el the EXCHEQUER shall have dscr !mist! Ids finan-
cial projects, we taiinot flatter oursekr• with the
hope of seeing trude resume it• wonted ticlivily
until that event shall have taken place. This con-
sideration will, we trust, have the r fir( inducing
the Right Non. Gentleman to open his Budget at
the ear‘itst po•sible opportunity.
