LONDON,SATURDAY, BErl tuna 16, IF2G.

We have received the French Papers of Wednesday, and
the 'toile of Thursday. From an article in the latter, it
appears that some discussion has arisen respecting the
large sum of money received by Messrs. ROTHSCHILD,
from the Government of Ilayti, as a part of the price paid
by the Haytian Republic to France for its independence.
:The sum remitted by the President of Hayti, as the first
Instalment, amounted to five millions of franca; but, says
the riristarque, it consisted of a species of coin called
quadruples, which arc of the value of two francs. By some
very singular remissness, however, these quadruples had
rot been acknowledged ; and the house of ROTHSCHILD,
vesting them after the course of quotation at the Ex-
‘hange, had thus realized a profit of nearly 200,000 francs.
:he Aristargue and the Constilutinnarl consider this cir-
,utnatance as a grave charge against the French Govern-
ment, and express their astonishment at no reply having
been given to it. The Elude, however, treats the affair
in quite a different manner. In the first place, it
oills it a confused unintelligible accusation ; but, eti-
olating the facts as alleged to be true, the charge, if
any, would be with more propriety made against the
Government of Hayti ; for, it asks, who sent the qua-
druples to the house of Ror usentl.D ? who made the con-
ditions for their exchange and conversion into francs? It
was not the French Government, neither was it the Caissec
des Consignations, whose only duty it was to receive the
snoney in francs, and who had nothing whatever to do with
the previous part of the business. There is something, cer-
tainly, rather odd in this affair. That such a large sum
of money should be received in an old coin not now cur-
rent, and be exchanged into francs without their value
being previously ascertained by the Government to whom
they were remitted, appear to us a deviation from the usual
course that can hardly be accounted for upon the mere
supposition of what the Aristaryuc calls use singulirr dis-
:ruction.

GERMANY.
DARNisTADT, SEFT. 8.

The Diet of the Grand Duchy wee opined yesterday it, this city,
by the Grand Duke, who &livered the following speech on the oc-
casion :

" Gentlemen,—lt Is with pleasure that I see met about me, for
the third time, the Assembly of the faithful States of the Grand
Duchy. The choice of the Second Chamber gives me reason to
hope that a good spirit will animate that Chamber, and that we
shall proceed with confidence in each other. The Grand Duchy,
rorming, as it does, an integral part of the Germanic Cesafedera-
on, I regard it as one of my most sacred duties to take the
I,v,sliest interest in all that concerns the consolidation of that
tederation, and the quiet and security of Germany. I shall
cause to be communicated to you the resolution taken in 1824, by
the Federal Diet, relative to the latter point. The internal admi-
oistration of the Grand Duchy has advanced both in order and in
Manner sins the list Diet, the salutury effects of which will be
daily more and more felt and acknowledged. The financial depart-
ment has been able to reduce the interest on the public debt. This
circumstance, united with the produce :of the indirect taxes, has
notwithstanding the deficiency in the other branches of the revenue,
enabled the adMinistration to meet the fixed charges of Govern-
ment. 'Phi department of justice has terminated one great part of
us former labours : and may it acquire a still greater promptitude
of action. As uniform mode of Legislation will contribute much
to this math. There, however, still exist great difficulties;
but I shall sainnlt to you an account of what has been
done in this respect. The establishments fur public instruc-
tion are visibly advancing towards perfection. I shall always
devote my particular attention to these subjects ; and I may
with confidence expect from you that you will emend me in
the adoptierral those measures which I May judge necessary to
the attainment of immediate good, and for the preparing ourselves
for the best. Accitletits and the phenomena of nature caused great
damage in 1124 re the province of fharkenberg, and to the Herse-
, 'Thematic. This yeas the same calamities have taken place In the
L:pper Hag, .Mains of 11324 furnished to my faithful people rn
occesten kis displeying their benevolence in the most striking man-
2CC• Uy4fispits have In comentience been able with little dielculty

to adopt such measuradis have neatly effaced all Mal Or those mil-
fortunes. I shall be mindful of a similar course being taken with
regard to the Upper Herm, and shall communicate with you as
soon as your co-opration shall become necessary. For the rest
you may reckon on my paternal kindness."

We have received flamburgh Papers to the 10th inst.,
from which we make the following extracts:—

cart. OF A TREATY or BOUNDARY CONCLUDED BETWEEN
RUSSIA AND NORWAY, AS REGARD+ THE rar.tros DIS-
TRICTER,OR COMMON DISTRICTS,ON THE 11th MAY LAST.
(From a Letter.)
CHRISTIANA, Atm. 2.

It is known to the public that in the spring of this year a
boundary treaty, which has been so long wished fur, was concluded
between Norway and Russia,through the mediation of our Govern-
ment. The chief point was, to avoid future collisions In what are
called the common districts (failed. dist,irler). His Majesty our
King, therefore, empowered Count Von Palmatierna, Ilia Anthem-
dor at the Court of Russia ; and his Majesty the Emperor of Russia,
his Minister for Foreign Affairs, Count Nesselrode ; to conclude a
convention, which was effected on the 14th of May, this year. The
following is the substance of it :

Art. I. The boundary line which was to separate Sweden and
Norway, aczording to the treaty concluded between Sweden and
Denmark in 17,;1, shall be preserved, so far as it now forms the
frontier between Norway and the Grand Duchy of Finland, that
is, from the titre where the new boundary line, drawn according to
the cnnvendon of the Bth (20th) Nov. 1810, begins, to the point
called Kolmsowe Illadakjesta.
2. From this point the frontier shall remain as it has hitherto
been, as far as to the river Pasvig (or Pasrek) running from Karol.
sowe Matlakk-sta, over the mountains Rejsa.Oora and Rein,.Oive,
to Gelanai°, and thence it shall run along the Pastig (or rasrek),
and the lakes which it forms to the church of St. Boris and Oleb,
on the left bank, which remains to Russia, with a rayon (or terri-
tory) of one went. A went to the north of the church the line
shall go directly across the Pasvig, and proceeding to the south-east
on the little lake where the Lax Elve rises, and thence to the point
where the Jacob's Elve ( Woriema) is formed by the junction of three
small streams, thence it follows the Jacob's Elve to its mouth. in
the sea at Jacob's Vig. Wherever the Pasvig and Jacob's Elve
form the frontier, it follows the navigable channel. On the lakes
formed by the Pasvig it passes through the middle of them, where
the water is the deepest. All the little islands to the east of this
line, as well as the lakes formed by the Pasvig, belong to Russia;
those or the west to Norway.

3. His ,Majesty the King of Sweden and Norway renounces for
himself and his successors the territory situated beyond the said
frontier line, and the right formerly claimed by Norway to levy
tribute on the part of the common districts now ced-•1.

4. After the ratification of this convention, Cot sinners from
both partiesshill proceed to the spot to draw the hot idary line de-
termined by the 2d Article, and have posts erected to mark the
frontier. This work shall be completed in the summer of 1826.
and the local authorities of Wodsoe and Kolo shall lend their as.
sistance.

5. The inhabi•a•tts of the districts now separated shall have
lid er y fnr three years to remove from the territory of the one State
into that of the other, and to take their property with them with-
out payment of nny tax whatever.
6. The Laplanders in the territories of both parties have the
free exercise of their religion : and those belonging to Norway may
frevent the Church of St. Boris and Gleb ; and those dependent
on Russia the Norwegian churches; but must contribute as here-
tofore to the maintenance of the clergy.
7. The families which by this Convention become subjects of the
one or the other State may ti.h and hunt for six years as they did
before in the territory of the otter. Those who go away have not
this privilege. To preve..t abuses, the former receive from their
Mag;strstes written licences, which are to be produced, if fleas-
Mary.

IL The new bount'ary line must be especially observed with re-
spect to the (formerly common) pastures. He who transgresses on
this point will be duly punished. Rein deer and cattle that have
only strayed arc to be given up to the owner.
9. Navigation, floating of lime, and fishing in the Jacob's
Elve, and in that part the Pasvig which forms the boundary,
shall be free to the subjects of both parties, and elan where the Pas-
rig flows entirely in the terrimryof one of the parties.
IU. Immediately after the ratification, this Convention shall
be made known to the Norwegian and Russian Laplanders in the
divided districts, and they shall be enjoined punctually to observe
it. fn case of dispute or violation of the Convention, a decision
shall be made ns soon as p^esible.
11. The trap of the frontiers laid down by the respective Com-
missioner in 1025 shall be annexed to this Convention, as an
integral part of it.
12. The Convention shall be ralfied in St. Petersburgh or
Moscow wi bin six weeks, or sooner if possible, and the ratifica-
tions excharge,'.

Dm:e at St. Petersburgh, the 2d (14th) May, in the year of our
I.r;rd 1824.

HASIDURGH, SEPT. 8.

The acc-tirts from Courland are very melancholy. The corn is
Parched up ; %bat fruit has escaped the caterpillars, falls off from
the heat ; the cattle sulfa from want of water.

By the same mail we have received Papers from St. Pe-
tersburgh of the 26th of August, and Stockholm of the
49tii. From the former we learn that a decision has been
made, by the Council of State, on the subject of manisges
allowed to be contracted by banished persons, to the fol-
lowing effect :

6' in consequence of a question submitted to the Council of State
by the Governor of West Siberia, it has been decided that men
banished to that country may marry women who are not criminals,
if the latter are willing: women exiled to Siberia may marry men
rot criminals, w:th the restriction that such marriages shall not
give them a right to leave Siberia, should their husbands quit the
country.

" The Commission appointed some years ago to investigate the
smuggling of gold, of which some officers of the Crown at Eke-
terineburg were guilty, has concluded its labours. Several of the
members have been recompensed for their zeal with the insignia of
various orders."

STOCKROLM. Al'O. 29.

It appears now that the winter corn has suffered more in Sweden
by the drought than could be foreseen on the 22d July, when
hopes were still entertained from the appearance of the crops.
Ruinous appreltens:ons are also entertained for the potato crap.
It may perhaps be time to avert, by importation, the scarcity
that threatens many districts, where they already begin to speak of
bread made of bark of tNes.

SEPT. 1.
The C.:zette of to-day contains a Royal Proclamation of 31st
August, by which, on actumt of the deficiency in the harvest, the
duty on the importation from abroad, of the following articles for
consumption, is reduced, viz. :—On barley to one rix dollar 24
shillings; on oats to one rix dollar; and on pease to two rix do!.
lam, per ton. Corn of this description already in warehouses in
Swedish ports is included.

It is said that the Tapperhelen and Chapman men of war, sold
last year, may be expected back from America at Gottenburg.

Extract of a letter from his Excellency Baron de Diebitsch, Aid.
de-Camp-General to his Excellency the Governor-General of St.
Peterehtirgh

" Ills Majesty the Emperor continues to enjoy perfect health.
Her Majesty the Empress Alexandra is now in good health, after
the weakness ♦hick her Imperial Majesty had experienced for
some slays. Her Imperial Majesty has sensibly recovered her
strength. Her residence at the country seat of Countess Orloff
has, in particular, had a favourable effect on her Majesty's health.
Such satisfactory accounts must dispel the uneasiness of the in.
habitants of St. Petcrsburgh, caused by. the exaggerated news
which they may have received respecting her Maje.ty'a Indispo-
sition."

In our Police Report will be found a still further ilia-
closure of the villany of a man calling himself " Captain
CAN PHF.LL, of the Navy," who has imposed upon a num-
ber of individuals by representing himself to he delegated
by Lord Coen RAN E to raise Officers of various descrip-
tions for the service of Greece. In the progress of
his work of deception, he has been in the habit of showing
a letter signed by Lord Coen nit NE as his authority. A
Gentleman connected with Greek affairs, who visited this
same " Captain CAMPBELL" to-day in the Spunging-
house in which he is incarcerated for debt, has informed
us that the letter stated to be from Lord COCHRANE is •
most barefaced forgery, notwithstanding its foreign post-
mark, and calculated only to impose upon the most unwary.
Our informant states that the " Captain" hail acknow-
ledged having received no less than seventeen commission
Iles from different young men, under the idea of their at
once becoming Field Officers of Marines, and Lieutenants
and Midshipmen in the Greek Navy. The unthinking
class of persons to whom the application was addressed
can alone account for the success of its operation.

The method which Mr. PEEL has adopted for revising
our system of law Is one which cannot be too much ad-
mired. It is of a piece with the whole system of his NI A-,
J ESTv's Ministers, who, anxious as they are for improve-
went, seem determined that no improvement shall be forced
on the people till they have convinced them of its propriety,
and that no alteration shall take place till every part of its
consequences has been accurately calculated. The Roman,
the Prussian, anal the French codes are certainly noble
specimens of the efforts of enlightened reason ; but they
sprung up too hastily to possess that degree of perfection
and comprehensiveness which ought to distinguish a code
that is to form the sole law of a great nation. The work
of TRIDONIAN and his associates, notwithstanding the
many advantages which these great jurisconsults en-
joyed from the labours of their predecessors, occupied
them no less than three years without intermission : and,
after all, it still remains. a very imperfect production.
The laws are fur from being methodically arranged, and
are even replete with contradictory decisions. The Prus-
sian and French codes were made under despotic Princes,
and are full of instances in which the knot of legal dif-
ficulties is cut instead of being untied ; the framers dial not
feel themselves bound to adhere either to the letter or spirit
of former enactments ; they gave a law to the best of
their judgment correct, but in many instances imper-
fect, in consequence of their inattention to former ad-
jatked cases. In order to avoid this Mr. PEEL has not
proposed to bring forth a perfect system of jurispru-
dence at once. His other official avocations, as well as the
necessity of consulting an infinitely greater number of
authorities than any former legislator, prevented the possi-
bility of his pursuing that course. But he has pursued a
much better method; he has left the deep-laid and solid
basis of English law untouched—satisfied that it rests firm
on the basis of right reason. All his care has been con-
fined, in the first instance, to separate, simplify, arrange,
and define, the particular portions which ought to form our
code; to correct the occasional aberrations, and supply the
frequent neglects, which had been suffered to deface the
system ; and, by dividing the labour into parts, to con-
centrate his care and attention for an adequate time upon
each, that something might at least be done with care, even if
he should, which GOD forbid, be removed by death or other
accident from the superintendence of the great work. The
method which lie has adopted is more modest and more
effectual than that of his predecessors, and we doubt not
that we shall hail every fresh fruit of his labours with the
same enthusiasm as those which preceded it.

CITY, FnIDAT EVEXIXD.

The transactions in the Consol Market have been again
to-day of a very limited character. At one period of the
Market they may be quoted as high as 791 4, differing an
eighth between buyers and sellers ; at the close of the day,
however, they had subsided to their opening quotation of
791 I, and for the Account at 791 4. There was an ab-
sence of every thing like information of a political nature.
Some grave politicians cannot be persuaded out of their
belief that Mr. CANNING'S visit to the French capital has
other objects in view than mere pleasure; and the affairs of
Turkey and Greece, and of Spain and Portugal, are both
persisted in as subjects on which he will exert his powerful
talents during his sojourn abroad.

The want of action in the British Stock Market has been
compensated by the activity which prevailed on the Foreign
Stock Exchange. At the opening of the Market, Mexican
Bonds, which closed yesterday at .57, advanced at once to
60, amidst a multitude of buyers ; in the course of the
morning there was a trifling re-action, but at the close of
the Market they bore the quotation of 614 I. The ex-
pected notification by advertisement from M. ROCA FULIIT
to which allusion was made yesterday, of the change of
agents in this country, and of the notice of payment of the
dividend, having appeared this morning, has given
rise to the advance in question. Some persons were dis-
posed to cavil with the wording of the advertisement,
because it did not contain a notice from Messrs. BARING
themselves, announcing their acceptance of the office, and
also of their intention to pay the dividend. It is im-
possible, however, to suppose for a moment that there can
be any ground for suspicion. M. Roc a re it T es state-
ment of the necessity of changing the agent of the 51exienn
Government, of his having made arrangements with Messrs.
BARING for paying in future the dividends on the loins, and
his further request, that the Bonds should be presented for
payment on the Ist October next at their counting-house
for that purpose, surely are suflicientty conclusive facts,
without any notice from Messrs. BARING at this moment.
It cannot be supposed possible that the Messrs. B %RING,
gentlemen of such high honour and integrity, would know-
ingly permit their names to be used in the way they have
been by M. ROC AFUERTE, unless they intended to pay the
dividends on their becoming due, whether they shall have
received the necessary remittances from the Mexican
Government or not. It is clear there is or was a
large quantity of specie at Vera Cruz, and it is fair
to suppose that on the credit of these monies the
highly respectable house in question has consented to ad-
vance the dividend, provided they should not reach this
country in time to anticipate the payments in question,
Every description of Republican Stock has felt the bene-
ficial effects of this announcement. Colombian, which
have been so long stationary, have advanced to 3.5. The
solemn silence of M. HURTADO as to any exertions making
by his Government for the payments of the dividends in
question is fatal to these Securities. It may be, that from

the state of Colombia, in consequence of internal dissen-
sion, the difficulty under which the Government labours,
as regards its faith with other countries, may be increased ;
but still a word of hope or encouragement, or some sort of
statement of what is really going on, is surely due to those
who hold the Bonds of Mexico.

The failure of Messrs. GotriscinsinT was certainly a
most unfortunate circumstance, and the events that have
since occurred. from the disaffection of Pa ez, may have in-
creased the difficulties under which this Government la-
bours ; hut at any rate, whatever the unfortunate combina-
tion of circumstances may be, the silence and apparent indif-
ference of M. Hear Apo, and through him of the Govern-
ment, is matter of grave complaint. Chili= Bonds also,
over which some doubts were thrown, have advanced not
only to their usual quotation, but to two per cent. beyond
it, king now at 40. The smallness of this lean, and con-
sequently the comparatively trifling amount of interest, it
is to be hoped, will rescue these Bonds from suspicion.
Even Greek partook of the tide of improvement, showing
an advance of one per cent., being now at 13. Spanish
formed the only exception to the general rule, having been
done rather lower than yesterday ; at the close of the mar-
ket, however, they were quoted at 10.
In the Share Market little was done ; Anglo-Mexican
Mining were rather better, at 50 to 17i discount; and Bra-
, zilian have advanced to 9 premium.
In the Colonial Market there have been spirited sales of
Coffee, at an advance of two shillings per cwt.; and Sugar
I also is something dearer.
The Corn Market has been dull to-day, as is usually the
! case on Friday, prices remaining the same as last market.
It is generally supposed that Monday will be decisive as to
the prices of imported grain ; indeed it is confidently he-
• bevel! that they have already reached their mininum: The
information from Sweden and Norway of the failure of the
crops in consequence of the extreme drought, and where
the duty on importation has been reduced, may have
tended in some degree to raise the price in the northern
ports; but, be that as it may, the measure of opening the
ports is not likely to prove detrimental to the English
grower, while the quantity imported will no doubt he equal
to the wants, and the measure itself generally satisfactory
to the British people.
Exchanges are generally a shade lower.
The Hatnburgh steam-boat, whose absence excited so
much alarm, arrived off the Custom-house this morning at
twelve, but did not bring later intelligence than the Rot-
terdatn packet. The private letters state the fact that Oats
are as dear there as in England, and that colonial produce
was in request at advancing prices.

Yesterday we received Brusvels Papers to the 14th inst.
Their contents are unimportant. The following are ex-
tracts:—

A British Cabinet messenger from London pm.setl through this
city yesterday, on his way to St. Pete' sharkh with despatches.
Our differences with Prussia, relative to the navigation of the
Rhine, are far from being terunnattd. Austria., which has inter.
vened in this affair, is said to be much displcat ed at the diflontatic
note of our Minister fur Foreign A ffltirs.

A letter from Frankfort, of the 30th of August, gives a discourag-
ing picture of the moral situation of Russia, and especially of the
capital; there is much discontent, says the letter, among the nobi-
lity, and a degree of embarrassment is observed in the proceedings
of the Government.

The follawing is an extract of a private letter received
from Brussels:—

BRUSSELS, SEPT. 12.
You have inserted, in your paper of the 4th, extracts of a private
letter from Lima. elated April 17, which contain some particulars
respecting the execution, in that place, of Ilerindongo, Minister of
War and Marine of Peru, and of a gentleman, named Tiron. It
is said in that letter. that the offence of the former was treason ;
hut other private letters front Lima, received in this city, and
Peruvian gentlemen of great respectability residing here. assert
that his only offence way, the havirg penetrated the secret designs
of Bolivar, and that he and his pretended accomplice fell victims
to the intrigues of the Liberator, who aims openly at the restimp-
tim of absolute power, anti removes out of Ms way all those who
might oppose hint. None of the Peruvians who are here believe
that lie will ever return to Colombia._

It was M. Riva d'Aguern, Ex-President of the Peruvian Re.
public, who is now at Untssels, where, as I stated In one of my
tonner letters, he married lately a young lady of the highest
nobility, who proposed, in 1823, to the Congress of Lima. the
(leave in favour of 31. de Pradt; he intended to fix on that writer
an annual pension of 5,1100 francs, but the Congress thought the
finances of the Republic would not allow such an expense, and
changed it into the donation of a medal.
The funds of the Netherland Society of Commerce have ex-
perienced lately a considerable rise; they are at this moment up to
07, and some people prslic: that they win be, in less than a year,
up to part, and that the Society, in spite of ail the machinations of
a part of the Dutch merchants, will, by the extensive capitals at its
disposal, give the law to the commerce of this kingdom.
The publ cation of the now journal, the Conttitntionnet du Paps
Btu, Ithieh was to appear the 10th, has been put off to the 20th ;
meanwhile, the second prospectus has been distributed. Another
journal, the Independent, is likewise announced, and will be an
opposition paper.
The following is an extract of a private letter from La
Gnityra, dated July 21:—
' Pace is beginning to feel the difficulties of his situation. He
has had a teeeting of ihe merchants at Cancan, for the purpose of
arranging for their supplying him with the little sum of 60,000 dol-
lars per month, against the security of the Custom House cloths,
but they have. declined entering into the engagement. We do net
yet know how the Government mean to treat this affair. Santan-
der is a prudent man, and will most likely he found equal to the
circumetances of the times. The object which l'aez professes to
have in view, viz. the establishment of the federal system is a good
one, and would be beneficial to all parties, but it should have been
sought by other means than have been chosen. We are perfectly
quiet Irere, and likely to remain so. Business very much at a stand.
and collections or money extremely difficult."
The Journal des Debuts contains a long report of a trial
which has taken place before the Correctional Tribunal of
Police at Paris,at the instance of M.Levavasst ur, the King's
Advocate. The defendants were M. Touquet, a bookseller,
M. ',Marchand Dubreiul, a printer, and several other per-
sons ; and the charge was, that the defendant hail sacri•
ligeously altered the Evangelists, by publishing a new,
edition of them, with the omission of all the miracles-
which alone gave those writings the stamp of Divine and
dimity. The consequences of these omissions aver: allegey,
to be, first, a public contempt of the Holy Scriptures ; 2.1 h d
a format denial of the miracles of Christ, which provial
the divinity of' his mission ; and thirdly, a formal (knell'
of the divinity of Christ. M. Touquet admitted himsion
to be the Editor of the work, and justified its priblicat de
by quoting the example of the author of the Murale de
P Vevangde, which was expressly published for the use of
the Dauphin at the commencement of the Revolution ; and
also of Don Calmer, who had published in a sepasrate
form the Miracles of Jesus arid. The sentence of the
Court will he pronounced on the 20th instant.
The William Rathbone, Owens, has arrived at Liver-
pool, from Africa, with palm nil. She left Bonny River
the 25th June, having been absent from Liverpool since
the :loth;Septenther last. There were loading at loony,
for this port, the Sir Walter Scott, Bridget, and llerskis-
son. the two latter were nearly ready for sea, and the Sir
Water Scott would be ready in about two months longer.
The fever had been rather unusually prevalent, particu-
larly amongst the shipping ; of the W.Rathbone's crew, five
died of fever at Ronny, and two more on the voyage. The
Sir Walter Scott bad lest four hands by the same disease,'
and the Bridget one. The Kingston, for Liverpool, sailed
a month before the Wm. Rathbone, but site has not yet
arrived. The Ilarrac.ruta sloop of war had been at Bonny
surveying, and had proceeded further along the coast.
Whilst so much discussion is going forward on the sub-
ject of the recent alterations in the Navigation Laws, it
may not, perhaps, he uninteresting to furnish our readers
with a weekly comparative statement of the number of
vessels, British and foreign, that arrive in this port from
Prttssia, Germany, Sweden, I), mnark, and Norway. Ac-
count of British and foreign vessels arrived at this port,
