as we hear, to place•froinitr regstr.ents on the fron-

Moldavia, Wallachia, Bessarabia, and the conistries
at the motth of the D.simbe, and to assign to every
regiment a narrow tract of land along the frontier'',
as is done in the Austrian dominions, which shall
taut be included in the civil goverratieist of the

Junes iii Pelgiutn mid Holland, do great injury to
the trade of the Prussian Rhine provinces, and have
caused remonstrances in various forms to be made

iu Berlin, but at present no favourable effect has

that the rectification of the frontier on the side of
the Netherlands was terminated, and that an ex-
change of territory would be concluded upon; now
we hear 110 more of all this, and it is even said, that
the negotiations are suspended. We look with
much nuessiiiess to the introduction into Rhenish
Prussia of the taxa which are to replace the droits

LONDON.
TUESDAY, Aram 13, 1819.

Paris Papers of Friday lost, with those of Bros-
sets of the same day, have arrived at our Office.
It iv stated in the former, that the King of PRANCE '
purposes, immediately on the expiration of the
present Reitsion of the Legislature, to cotivofie the
Bin-total Cohleger► so flirt the elections shall be
completed and the Chambers again assembled
previous to the period of his MAJESTY'S coronation.
It will no &slit be Wily gratifying to the Kim°,
as it must add to the imposing solemnity of this
ceremony, that he ehonld un such an occasion be
surrounded by the Representatives of his people.
Their pew evert will be the best assurance to the
nation of his MAJEST,'S desire to exercise his
power in pinsuatice of the principles of the Charter.
An irticle from Valenciennes, brought by the
firussels Papers, details with much seeming accu-
racy, and with in evident feeling of exultation,
the Measures now pisrsued by the French Govern-
ment to strengthen and vcrire the northern bor-
. tier. A plan for this purpose has been submitted
to the KING by the War Minister, Marshal
GEM V lON Sr. C and approved of by his
MAJESTY. "It has been judged indispensable,"
we are (OM, " that i'rance should take a respectable
attitude ; in coritequence eli the ftwtresses of the
first, r.econd, and third rank will be successively
put in on excellent state of defence ;" and we are
alto spprised that the retnisiting of the army pro-
ceeds with great rapidity, IVe certainly were

war, not only beeriiie all turolw enjoys a state of

seems willing to (tinfoil►, but alio because at this
very moment, the Finance Minister laments to the
Chamber of pepu,ies the extent of the estimates
required, and endeavours to divert the opposition of
the economical 'tarty by snaring them, that all the
expenses of the State are framed on the itrietrit
principle of mesaity. Bin what necessity can the
Government of France feel for pulling all its
northern disrtresser in a state cupobte of enduring
sieges ? What 'foreign Power threatens the northern
frontier with invasion ? We are, indeed, told, with
a ridiculous affectation of alum, " that the frontiers
of Prussia touch those of France, trod the Moselle and
the Itingdom of the Netherton& will shortly be
covered by A bile of fottresseeWhicii are erecting with

or intimidate France, but to p►eserve the Nether-
lands front the elfects of FR ;is b ambition ? We
are also informed that the KING is resolved to make
the posier of France il'resirected abroad." Where .
has a wont of respect to the power of France been
tileCtiVerrii ? or does'eiternal respect depend solely
upon the magnitude of ormiee, or the
of fortresses ? We think it would argue More

, tirlence and rffectiort of big people, by ,hewing on

meta to eviiwe a prudent core in guarding against •
foreign aggressions ; but who dist considers the
Present situation of France, and competes its pre.
sent military and financial collehtion with that of any
other country• in Europe, could imagine list France
was in &roger of being attacked F A very few
years will paps, and the apprehensions of Europe
will once again *bc directed towards that coutory•,
which for three centuries Ices more then why other
Power disturbed its tranquillity. Inlna country
where the love of military fume, and the thirst for
foreign conquests, exist in so high a degree as they
do in France, security against invasion is the preli-
minary step to a war of aggression.
From an article in the French Papers, ettreet-
ed from ■ Prussian Journal, it will he seen that the
Liberty of the Prier is recognised in the Prussian
State'.
A lively sensation seems to hare been excited
throughout Germany by the barbatous murder of
the celebrated KOTZEBUE, HMI the notion is sedu-
lously propagated that this crime was committed
with the concurrence or approbation of that class of
persons in Germany who venture to avow prin-
ciples of political liberty. This wicked attempt,
Wisely and maliciously to blacken the fame of many
thoUsands of persons,and to make them collectively
responsible for the outrage of an isolated maniac, is
an offence of little less turpitude than the assassi-
nation itself. AVe are sorry ro find so shameful and
wicked a device supported by any of the English
Journals. There is no pretence for asserting that
the enthusiast SAND? was connected with any
party, or was the instillment of another's will. To
the last he denied the concurrence of others, and
wickedly and madly gloried in having alone de.
signed and executed this revolting outrage.
Nothing further is communicated respecting
the reported conspiracy at Mantua, for administer-
ing poison to the Emperor of AUSTRIA. But even
thus rumour, vague and uncertain as it was, uncon-
nected with any circumstances to shew whether the

intention, if actually entertained, arose from private
or public motives, was perverted like the revolting
occurrence which took !dace at Manbeim, to the
saute purpose of flinging a general obloquy on all
persons who chance to hold political sentiments
different from those who find their interest in up-
holding time present system of European policy.
With respect to the Carbonari, who are said to be
the principals iu the conspiracy at illantua, and
who form a numerous party in the Austrian
States of Italy, we profess to know nothing
more than it hat pleaded their enemies to corn-
municate through the medium of an enslaved
press. We thus learn that they are collectively
familiar with crime, and that they seek the
accomplishment of their political purposes solely
by the instrumentality of poison and the stiletto.
But of this charge there is no confirmation. Wt
believe that the Carbowari, if indeed such a so-
ciety exists, is nothing more than a collective
name for all those Italians who mourn the degra-
dation of their country, end feel a generous indig-
nation at the crimes of those who, after making Italy
an instrument of their triumphs, shared it as tine
spoil of the conquerors.

We find that we were in error yesterday, in
stating that Mr. GRATTAN's Motion' on the Catho-
lic Cause, which stands for the 3011 i instant, will be
further postponed to the 3d of May. That Motion,
we have authority to say, will certainly be brought
forward oil the 30th, the day now fixed. The ques-
tion relating to the Irish Window-light Duty. has
been, we believe, put off to the 3d of May, and
hence probably originated the error respecting the
Catholic Question. We are very anxious to cor-
rect tilts error, many Members being now abreast
in Ireland who will regulate the time of their re-
turn by the day fixed for Mr. GRATTAN'S motion.
