ST. HELENA, JULY 17.

The squadron are now very sickly, especially
the Conqueror and Leveret ; the' former is losing
men daily, by sickness. tl'e scarcely get any fresh
provisions only once in about a month, and that
does the men more harm than good. We have
been entirely in mint of fuel, until this last week
past, when we got some from the Company's stores,
on account of expecting the Abundance. The
troops on shore are upon half allowance of fruit :
and the inhabitants get none. Bonaparte is well,
sees nobody, nor does he go out. His house wilt
very shortly be finished.
The ships that compose the squadron now at St.
Helena, are, via. Conqueror, bearing the fl.g of
Rear-Admiral Planipin ; Sophie, Hyena, Nautilus,
and Third! schooner; Sappho at Lemon Valley ;
Eurydice cruising to windward of the Island ; Tees
ditto to Leeward; Leveret at Ascension ; Redpole
ou her return from St. Thousits's and Aoceustou ;

The framing of a new Constitution proceeds in
Wirtemberg, where the States are still anxiously
employed upon that important work. The people
of Wirteinberg would siot coni.ent to receive a
Constitution us of the free and generous gift of
their Sovereign, but, as might be expected from
men who once enjoyed the proud distinction of
constituting the only State en the Continent of
Europe possessed of a free Constitution, have
taken a share in the task of preparing the code of
laws under which they are to live in future. The
laws, indeed, are submitted to the States as drawn
up on the part of the KING, but the States revise
and alter as they may think expedient. The
article in the Con.titution respecting the organi-
zation of the different religious communities merits
attention. lt is--
,4 The internal religious organization of each Church sp.
pertains to the lrgisletive anthority of each Church. Eerie.
siastical property, whether Catholic or Lutheran, is plated
tooter indeprodest administrations, composed of members

of these communions respectively. The political authority
of the King over the Catholic Church is exercised by a Col-
lege composed of Catholics. This College will propose caw
dials:4 s to the vacant places."

Letters from Berlin state, that the King of
PRUSSIA IDA at length consented to certain pain.
ciples hich are to form the ground-work of the
Constitution. 1-lis Majesty left Berlin on the 2d,
attended by Isis sun, Plume CHARLES, and a nume-
rous suite, fur Breslaw. The gallant old Br UCHIIR
has been dangerously ill. The next accounts will
probably notify his death.
Accounts horn Madrid, of the 2d of September,
state that the malady which appeared some time
since in the Island of Leon has extended itself to
the main land, and broken out even in Seville.
The Governor of Cadiz has established his residence
at Puerto Santa Muria, and suffers no persons to
proceed beyond the military cordon. The troops
are dispersed in several encampments, and are not
allowed to hold communication with the people,
nor are the crews of the ships permitted to land.
By such judicious precautions, hopes are entertained
that the contagion wil; be prevented from spreading.
