Some particulars of the disturbance at Breslau, are
communicated in private advices. An attempt, it appears,
was made by the Government to impose a new oath, of
a military nature, on the Burgher Guard of Breslau,
which the members of that body refused to take. They
alleged that they had already sworn allegiance as citi-
zens and subjects, and.that The exaction of a fresh oath
was a, direct imputation on their lOyalty Fair means
tailing, recourse was had to coercion. The supposed
riugleaulers were seized and carried off to the for-
tress of Neisse. This proceeding being secretly managed,
no part of it transpired until the following .day, when
the city was thrown into an uproar ; the inhabitants
paraded the streets by thousands, and not being apprised
of the removal of their fellows, cried out with one
accord for their release. This not being granted, they
attacked the houses of the Civil and Nlilitary Authori-
ties, demolishing every thing in their way. The trot); a
were then called out by the Government, and it was
not until several volleys, and reiterated charges of the
bayonet, that the angry multitude could be minced to
submission. Great numbers are said to have been killed
and wounded.

Letters from Madrid state, that the people who trou-
ble themselves at all about public afihirs arc divided into
two parties, both Royalists—the one fhr a limited
monarchy, the other a despotic. it is hoped that the
Finance Minister, Garay, will carry his plan into ef-
fect in spite of the opposition of bigotry, laical and cleri-
cal. The clergy have made every exertion to oppose
this plan. Garay is supported by. Pizarro, the Minister
fa. Foreign Aflitirs. There is u strong expectation at
Madrid of aid from Russia against the Independents of
Spanish America. One letter says—" On Russia great
hopes of assistance are reposed, in subduing the Ameri-
can colonies. An inundation of Russian troops destined
to this object is talked of, and this last calamity which
can bethl these unfortunate regions is confidently anti-
cipated. An expedition of Spanish troops, to the amount
of 15 or 20,000, is likewise preparing '; t.nd the singu-
larity is, that those soldiers and officers who are con-
sidered as disaffixted are destined for that service, for
the purpos2, it is said, of removing out of the way sus-
picious characters. Sublime policy !"—Russia is in great
favour at. Madrid, and, in fact, seems to be so through-
out Europe. In France particularly, the Russians are
spoken of more favourably than any of the Allies.

We are much concerned to state, that as Mr. Huskis-
son was on his return from his annual survey of the
New Forest, on Thursday afternoon, between Havant
and Emsworth, the axle-tree of his carriage broke, by
ivhiCh accident the vehicle was overturned, and the
right arm of Mr. Huskisson severely fractured. Two
Gentlemen, who accompanied him, escaped unhurt.—
The citizens of Chichester, who are greatly attached to
their Representative, manifested the utmost concern on
hearing of the accident.

Mr. llnvell, the ingenious Artist, who accompanied
Lord Amherst in the late Embassy to China, made some
beautiful drawings, which have been preserved from the
wreck of the Aleeste, but we understand the Botanist of
the Embassy lost the whole ofhis collection of plants.
