GEA3IAN PAPERS.

VIENNA, AUGUST 24.
The Journal de Frankfort of the 14th inst. Con-
tains, under the head of Brussels, a well-merited
reproof of the bile of an attempt to u Mate the
Duke of Iteichstadt, published in one of those
Nether' 1 Paper% which, ever since their tons-

►urucr►nent, stem to have made it their busiue►a to
treat their trader* with fakelioods of every kind.
The shove-mentioned Journal concludes it* snide
with the following wordy :

" These are the observations to which we have hero lea by
reading t►e above piece of intrliiruce, and we doubt nut
but that the A wstrian Observer will contradict it more pain.
lively and in etragibly."
We willingly aiiswer to this invitation, for the
Vrai Liberal soil Co. would doubtless build upon
our silence the assertion that there inns!, however,
be some truth in the story which they have invent-•
ed of the horned attempt at an assas►ittation. We
therefore decline the whole story, from the begin-
ning to the end, with► all the principal and acres-
airy citcumstanees'related with it, to be ow impu-
dent lie, forged for the frirdieranee of the tines of
a party.
The story is, besides, so shallow and so ill-in.
vented, that we should scarcely have thought it
worthy of being coutrarlicted, had we not been ex-
pressly called upon by several widely-circulated
Journals.—(Austriax Observer, August '25.)

Court, has officially protested spina' the occupation
of Pensacola by the Americans, in a memorial deli-

of State. It is supposed that all the Spanish Am-

TILE QUEEN.

Yesterday the following Bulletin was exhibited
respecting the QUEEN'S health, at her Majraty's
Palace:—

" Kew Palace, September 7.
"The Queen was a little belief throughout yesterday, and
bas parsed a good sight.

The following i• extracted from au Evening
Paper :

" The complication of cnmplaints ander which her Ma-
Jerry is labouring, appears almost daily to asaume a more
decided character. The intervals between each relapse re-
gularly decrease in duration, whilst every succeeding attack
is more violent then the last, and consequently leaves the
Royal sufferer in an increased stat• of debility. There is,
therefore, bat too much reason to apprehend the most mi.
our consequences. Her MAJESTY is also said to suffer ex-
treme mental anxiety horn her increaeing inability to re-
' move to Windsor, and, regrets that she did not sooner fol-
low the dictates of her feelings; for, in her present state,
the journey, it seems, is deemed altogether impossible.
It was yesterday just a week since her MAJESTY has
been in her bed; during the whole of that time she has re.
mained sitting in her chair, in one onveried posture; Ilse
least attempt to alter her position causing the most distress-
ing effects. Still, however, her chair being contrived to
move on rtlkrs, bas been able to bear being wheeled
into the adjoining boud•ir, where her dinner has usually
been served; bat on Saturday bee state was such, that even
this very alight motion was discontinued. Her MAJESTY'S
state, no that day, was truly alarming, and Sir FRANCIS
HILMAR was the only physician in attendance till three
o'clock, when Sir HENRY [(ALFORD arrived from attending
the Monthly Council at Windsor. The Archbishop of Can-
TERNURY arrived from Windsor, at the same time, to ley
the Report of the Cleaned before her Illaaasrv,lnst she was
so ill, that her Royal flielmess the Princess Avousra wall
deputed by her to receive it; and his Grace was afterwards
invited to dine with the Princesses. In the mean lime,
Sir HeariX HALSOR() had a consultation Os the state of her
MAJESTY, when it was determined to send au express far
MP. KFATR. He arrived late in the evening ; and, after
conferring some time with the physicians, her MAJESTY on.
derwent au operation. At the nine lime, an express was
sent off to the Patect Reuter, tit the Stad-house ; and
the Archbishop, a lui Sisal already left the Palace to proceed
to Lambeth, war recalled. 'I he PRISICE arrived about half.
past nine n' clock, and immediately visited her MAJESTY.
The Archbishop was afterwards introduced to her MAJIMTVIE

We have received Paris Papers of Friday lost,
from which we have made extracts. The Duke of
WELLIMOTON has commenced his review of the
allied troops. Ilia Grace arrived at firguensu on
the 30th, by way of the &overlie. The Austrian
corps was reviewed on the 31st, on the plain of
Marietital ; and the Wirtemberg corps on the Ist
of September, at Reichstoffere.

A Flanders Mail has arrived, with Papers to th
sth inst. They state. on the authority of an Ant-
werp Journal, that the French Refugees are pre-
paring an expedition at Galvestown, of which
Mexico is presumed to be the destination. We
do not credit this account. Galvestown is one
of the pouts lately seized by the United States of
America, and an Act was passed last Session enforc-
ing their nentrality in the present contest between
Spain and her Colonies.

We have received Halifax Papers to tl.e 4th lost,
the following is au extract :

rived here in the Wye, fruin New Brunswick.

Quebec, a distance of 636 miles, including rivers, &c. iu
twenty-one days.

Madras Papers to the 7th 31arrir have a►rived.
As arrivals of a more recent date have reached this
country, the contents of these Papers cannot be ex-
pected to possess much novelty. The following
are the only extracts of any interest

MADRAS, MARCH 7.
The Governor• General proceeded from Latniche to
Khunjowlte on the 2d nit. and had his camp established at
the latter, OR the 4th. It is reported that his Lordphip Rill

this month to Goruckporr, where he intends to reside dur-
ing the approaching warm WNW!.

Accounts from the army in the field become daily less
interesting; the following are the only articles we base
deemed it worth copying from the last Bengal Journals,

EXTRACT Of A LETTrR TROY RI:MEAN, 0 ATLI)
JANUARY 27, 1616.

" The Pindarers see now iu the greatest glisters% eying
about in small parties during the night, and hiding ie the
jungles by day. You have seen in the Papers accounts of
our various wonderful successes ; little now teittains to he
dune, but the taking of two nr three forts. from which op-
position may not be made; but in order the Is tier in in-
sure success, four additional battalions are corning to join
us, with a detachment of artillery, and all the battering
guns and unitises belonging to the centre dirt on. They
are expected to have the Margnis's camp tilting the 27th or
29th, ■nd When they approach the points fur attack Icon-
elude we shall go to tacit them."
The terms of the Treaty which lies kern concladed aitb
the Nagpore Rajah, have not transpired, but it appesrs cer-
tain that lie is to cede all his learnt.' it s to the north of the
Nerbuddah, and it is even said a retisidtiahle portion to the
southward of that river. We leave nut learnt what has be-
:osne of the body of Arabs who were 'minified to retire
Jnnsulestcd from the town of Naimoli., but it is not likely
that they will refu►e, ',outwork(' as they must be, say
terms that may be offered to them. Letters from Nerbuddalt
state, that the Kaladar of Secrinagur had rallied Ins forces
after his late defeat, sad had taken ap a strung position, is
which be had determined to wait another attack.

During the last week the town of I%lancliester
has been a scene of continued alarm and confu-
sion, but by the latest accounts received in London,
it would'seem as if a considerable part of the rioters
had at length become aware of the impropriety of
their proceedings. A large body of the work.'
people had assembled according to custom on
Friday morning, and were proceeding iii military
array with numerous flags and music, to Ashton-
under-Lyne. where a general meeting of the do-
contented weavers and spinners was intended to he
held, when they were arrested in their progress by
General Sir JOHN Byso, with a party of (-malty,
accompanied he the !torus%lrreeve, Magistrates,
aaJ
many police °Dicers. The General awl several of
the Magistrates entered into some explanstiott
with the people, remonstrated with them upon
the folly and weakness of their conduct,
read to them a public notice from the master
manufacturers, explanatory of their Resolutions.
This interview is 641111 h, have had so good dill
efl'rct IN the people, that the greater part
of them were convinced of digit error,, and,
lowering their colons, returned (lino!j to their re-
spective homes. A similar effect %SW, prilditeed by
similar means upon the re nomeions body as-
sembled at Ashton-under-Lyne ; lot 11.1 r, ton, the
people acknowledged the force el t!:e arpca I, and
by retiring peaceably ficon the scene of ti.eir pur-
posed meeting, bore a.ople tert;tot.oy to the Jos-

lice of the reasoning contained in the public no-
tice of the master manufacture's.
From this circumstance we trust we shall be en-
abled to date the retnrnitig industry of the work-
people, and the restoration of tranquillity to Man-
chester. The violence of the cotubin■tion having
once ceased to operate, its final extinction may
thence be confidently anticipated. It appear., if
the fitets hr truly stated, that neither tlw display of
military force, nor the activity of the Magistrates,
had effectiAl this happy change in the feelings of the

people, but that their exasperation had been op.
peased by an appeal to their judgment and their
passions, tranquillized by the forte of reason.
Had the master tosnufacturets been less desirous or
maintaining their sullen dignity, and had they at
an earlier period descended to address themselves
fairly and familiarly to the good sense of their pets.
ple, the breach between them had been long since
closed, no blood had stained their quarrel, nor
shoald.sny violence have occurred to interrupt the
fellness of their reconciliation.'
The readiness manifested by the people to retire
from the intended meeting, proves, we conceive,
notwithstanding the frequent assertions made on
this point, that nothing further is proposed by
them than the mere attainment of increased wages.
Were they actuated by treasonable motives, or had
they entertained soy desire to disturb the public
peace, we do not believe that all the combined
eloquence and reasoning powers of Sir JOHN
BY N 0 mid the Manchester Magistrates could have
thirried them so easily from their object. We are
very well convinced that the Ministers would gladly
represent any the slightest commotion among the
people as the effect of revolutionary principles,
and would barter their own good fame, as the
rulers of a great empire, for the miserable advan-
tage of preserving the patronage of office. They
are satisfied to be considered as odious to the pet).
pie, provided they can clung to their plices—and
tremble more at the idea of their personal insignifi-
cance, alien stripped of power. thati at the want of
Tripe, lability when clothed in it. We are con-
cerned to think that u Judge is. the administration
of his solemn functions should think himself jus-
tified in stepping aside from his proper course, to
lend himself to the furtherance of this object.—
Wall polities, properly so called, Judges have no
concerti; and it is very remarkable, when they
venture to meddle with them, what very bad polo.
times they prove themselves.

The following interesting letter hos been received
by a men:snide house in Glsogow, how their to-
tabliolisnesit in St. Domingo :
