GERMAN PAPERS.

LUCIIhNE, JAN. 2 —The Austrian and Prussian
Ministers in Switzerland appear to have received
fresh instructions, in consequence of which they
double their attentions to the Swiss newspapers. I❑
fact, complaints have already been made to the
Government of a certain Canton against a journal
which is published in it.
S'IUTGARD, JAN.--Some newspapers contained
some time back an article relative to Barbara Kress,
who was examined as a witness on the trial of the
Queen of England, according to which she was for-
merly a servant at Monrcpos, and was discharged
fur having committed a theft. From enquiries that
have been made, it results that no person of the
Barbara Kress, or Kranz, was ever in the service of
Monrepos.
Ban N DENHUROII, JAN. 13 —Accounts from Mag.
deburg mention a singular suicide that has been
committed there. M. Fubricus, Director of the
Theatre, has shot himself through the heart with a
pistol, during the representation of Schiller's Don
Carlos. He chose the moment when the Marquis
Vasa is killed on the stage by a shot through the
grate of the prison. He had taken upon himself to
discharge the pistol, and fell according to the di-
rections in the part of Poses, without uttering a
syllable.
VIENNA, JAN. 14.—We expect with impatience
the news of the first interview of the King of Naples
with the Allied Monarchs. It is well known that
the King despatched autograph letters from Flo-
rence, which have much employed the curiosity of
politicians. It is certain that their contents have
remained an entire secret, notwithstanding some
persons speak of them, pretending that they contain
a formal protest against the new order of things ut
Naples
It is generally believed that the Great Powers
imam' to regulate all the affairs of the south of
Europe—that is, not only those of Italy, but
those of Spain and Portugal ; and it is added
that Spanish and Portuguese Ministers are ex-
pected there ; but these reports appear to want
confirmation. The number of Ministers who meet
at the Congress is very considerable. All the Rus-
sian Ministers to the different Courts of Italy are to
be there by the orders of the Emperor Alexander.—
The Austrian Ministers to the Italian Courts will
.likewise be present.

The Duke of Manchester (Governor of Jamaica)
has sustained a very serious injury by being thrown
from his curricle, from which he was projected with
so much violence as to fracture his skull and wound
his head in s;:veral places. His Grace remained in
considerable danger at the departure of the packet.
The following is the account of this distressing
accident

Kingston. Dec. 16,
" It is with the deepest sorrow we have to state that his Grace
the Governor, in enterwg Spanish Town from his usual morning
drive, about nine o'clock yesterday morning. was thrown front
his chaise, and with the most poignant grief we have to add
that his skull was fractured, and his bead otherwise much
wounded in several places. He was carried into an adjoining
house, cud soon after conveyed on a sofa to the King's house,
where all the medical gentlemen in town attended. It was found,
on examination, that the skull had been considerably injured,
and that a piece of it covered with blood, about the size of half a
dollar, was picked up near the spot where the melancholy acci-
dent happened. Several other pieces were extracted Elwin the
wound. His Grace bore the operation of tha surgeon. Dr. IVltit-
taker, with the greatest fortitude, acd another broken piece was
ex-racted. We rejoice,rhowcver, to say lie was so much recovered
about two hours afterwards as to describe how the accident took
place. The horses were running away with him, and one of
them struck him, which occasioned the melancholy catastrophe.
A spectator says that the chaise was overact near the steps of the
Pour House door, which it ran against, and that his Grace was
dragized some distance.
" The first bulletin of the Physicians who were called in states,
the ' accident is oldie most formidable nature; hut the mop-
toms have not hitherto been very unfavourable.' The bulletin
of the following day at twelve o'clock, dimes that the' symptoms
proceed favourably. '
If there be any, out of the precincts of the Court or
Treasury, who affect to consi.ler a majority in the
House of Commons as proving any thing but the power
of influenco, and the wishes (Witte Crown, it may be
useful to suggest to theta this striking filet iu the
recent history of Parliament :—The greatest num-
ber that ever voted on one side, en any public occa-
sion (about :350), supported Mr. Addington, upon a
question in which Mr. Pitt and Fox united
their interests, and exerted their talents to put an
ead -to his imbecile government. "Friumpliant on
the division, having it- majority of 6 to 1, and with-
out the occurrence of any new instances of ineepa-
4:ty, the Minister, bburtly afterwards, from the

cunse:ousness of the universal contempt that attended
his istrutiutt, resigned—thus demonstrating
that, as the House of Commons is now constituted,
its most overwheltning majorities may be in direct
popositiun to public opinion.
Ralph Booth and W. Rigby, were convicted of a
robbery at Chester Sessions, and sentenced to be
transported. Oa the sentence being pronounced,
tl ey damned the magistrates, and excianned "they
had done their worst." In this thy were mistaken
—tor they were immediately whipped, having folly
babes each, in a cart, in the Cagle littrd, by the
Lenginun. •
