GERMAN PAPERS.
Seto,. Frs..S4Mttoe the 4th of January, the
Greeks, in alnutatNal the villages, have rebuilt or
repaired their churches.
The Turks went frequently by night, or clandes-
tinely in the day time, into the house that were
partly burnt, and (lid great damage, in order to carry
*,way the wood. This so displeased the Pemba, that
be proclaimed, that whoeeer issnsgtessed in this
manner should suffer death. This severe decree w. s
renewed three days afterwards, but unfortunately it
did not produce a satisfactory result.
The corps of cannoneer that have come here is
rather undisFiplined. They got into the gardens
' and fields, and cut down indiscriminately the trees
tbey meet with, which they carry to the city far
their own use.
On the 9th of January, the Pacha walking &cog.
mat twenty Turks armed with hatshets, whom he
canoed to be taken before him. Soon afterwards he
met twenty others carrying wood. The Turks,
taring punishment, fled, and the Pacha ordered
all this wood to be lodged in the citadel; but the
.next morning all the troops, after having consulted
together and taken their arms, joined in one body
and went to the castle, of which they took posse&
Ilion, firing their pieces. in the air as a sign oCdis.
content, and holding insolent language. The Go•
'crewcut thought it prudent to yield to circum-
stances; it sent to the mutineers Elea Aga. the
Mufti, and the Cadi, to arrange the affair, and tan-
' quality was restored.
On the-14th and 15th some Greek eat-
ployed to convey away the garrison of to'li di
Romania, landed part of the garrison here. About
fifty of these soldiers going out into the town, their
presence una their accounts caused a considerable
fermentation, but no unpleasant consequences fol-
lowed.
°Abe 26th, at eight in the evening, the air re-
sounded on all sides whluthe discharge of fire-arms.
• Therewas a general alarm in the town, and every
%ay eettglit refuge in the residence of the COUSUIL
To the continual discharge of pistols was add:.-(1 a
frightful noise, occasioned by loudly and repeatedly
striking sonorous bodies, At length we learnt that
" it was nothing but an eclipse of the moon, and that
all this noise was made to frighten the dragon that
was going to devour that luminary.
On the 27th, a woman was walking in the street
• with green shoes on. Two Turks asked her how she
dared to wear such shoes? " Because 1 do not
fear you I'' abe replied, and walked on ; upon which
one of the Turks barbarously fired a pistol at her:
a surgeon extracted the bull, which fortunately did
not penetrate very deep. On the 29th, the Pacha
issued a formal order that every Greek who should
be employed to work in the citadel, or elsewhere,
should be regularly paid. He has convoked if a
primates of the twenty-six matic villages, and has
required of them, tor his own justification, a decla-
ration that they did nut pay this year the tribute of
mastic to the Government, which, in its paternal
solicitude, excused them for it. At the same time
he informed them, that next year they would have
to pay this tribute either in kind or money.
We are at present tranquil. Ipsaro is making
preparations to attack.
WIRTEMBURG' Aran. 16.—News hiving been
received that the Pope has refused canonical investi-
ture to the Ecclesiastics proposed by the Protestant
Governments to fur the Episcopal Sees in the Eccle-
siastical Provinces of the Upper Rhine, it has
been judged -nceeesary to summon to Stutgard, for
the , purpose of consulting them on this occasion,
Mr. Schmits Grottenberg, Counsellor of State and
Ambas.:ldor to the Court of Munich, and Mr. Jau-
mama, Ecclesiastical Counsellor in Rottenbarg on
the Neckar, who were both of them delegates from
Wirtemburg at the Ecclesiastical Committee which
met at Frankfort, fur the organization of the Catho-
lic worshiF, and the execution of the Papal Bulls
issued oil the subject.
It is well known that the King of Wirtemburg
has frequently expressed a wish to sec this affair
finally arranged, and the Court of &lager& has
taken great pains toaccomplish this object. We are
therefore curious to learn what oar government will
resolve on this occasion, as the refusal of the Papal
Court to confirm, in their dignity, the Bishops pro-
posed, the final organisation of the Catholit Church
in a great part of Protestant Germany, is again ad-
journed to an indefinite period.

Nollekins, the Sculptor, recently deceased, has
left 30,0001. to his present Atajes/, 50,0001. to Dr.
!Carrick, the public librarian at Cambridge, 50,0001.
to that most excellent person, Franca Douce, Esq.
who is also made residuary legates, by which he
will get 90,0001. in addition. Nollekine died worth
300,0001.
An honest German being told is hie own, coantry
that Buonaparte was dead, kook his head, and said
to his infoonant—." Buonsiarte dead t Ah you
