The Paris Papers of Saturday last notice the
arrival of her Royal Highntais the Princess of
Watts at Lyons, on the 1 ttli instant, attended by
a suite of • persons, and ane of them assures its
readers that the illustrious traveller had arrived in
Paris. This latter statement was denied by another
Journal, but as the arrival of her Royal Highness
in Lyons on the 11th, snit her appearance et the
Theatre of that city, are asserted positively, and as
it is also understood that the Princess purposed to
proceed to Paris, the Journal which notified her
arrival was probably correct.
A private letter from Rome states, that Mr.
CaNuttto had an interview with the Princess at
Milan on the 41st of last month. It is believed
that her Royal Highness is now proceeding to Lon-
don for the 'purpose of prosecuting her claim to the
payment of certain bonds, which it is alleged were
executed in her favour by her brother, the late Duke
of BRUNSWICK. Our readers are already aware that
-the Earl of LIVERPOOL and Count Mitxrrnit, exe-
cutors of the will of the late Duke, do not recognise
the authenticity of these instruments, and the matter
is now submitted to the judicial tribunals of this
country.

His Royal Highness the Duke orCumstaLAND
left Berlin on the nth of this month for Warsaw.

A r. official article from Madrid communicates the
gratifying assurance, that the yellow fever, which
has hitherto raged with such malignity at Clubs',
and in the Isle of Leon, ha. in some degree abated
its fury. A private letter adds, that some rain bad
fallen, to which, probably, this beneficial change
may Ve in some degree attributed. But in the
mean time the disease has spread to Seville and
other places, and apprehentions of its approach are
entertained even in Madrid. The strictest precau-
tions are adopted respecting the admission or per-
woe from those parts of the kingdom which are
considered infected. In this general alarm. the
expedition seems to be forgotten. The Qom(
will, it is said, be initructed not to enter Madrid
until the danger lies diminished; and in the mean
lime her Malesre will hold- her little Court at
Burgos.

We lately noticed a Proclamation issued by the
Elector of Hesse-C•sstr., anninncing the esta-
blishment of a Central Commission at Mentz by the
Diet at Frankfort. for the trial of ell subjects of
the German Confederatibii charged with conspiracy
and sedition. It will be seen in our extracts
front the Papers brought by the FleadeM Mail

tice at Berlin have laid • protest before leis
