The Gazette Uainertelle of Dresden contains a
tirade in the most approved form, and no doubt
etniueutly suited to the taste of the Continental
rivals of our commerce. agonise the frauds prac-
tised by English merchants, and the Jews. their
assistants, to deceive the people of Germany
into the purchase of articles of a very bad qua-
lity. The merchant. it is said, at the corn.
mencement of the fairs, sells off some prime ar-
ticles at a low price ; and haviug thus drawn the
public attention. he, under pretence of hastening
home, disposes by public sale of the rest of his
stock. of which the greater part consists of bad
commodities. It is, however, admitted, that Eng-
lish manufactures still inundate Germany, and that
British capital and energy are capable of overcoming
every bar which ignorance or jealousy have hitherto
been able to devise.
The French Funds continue to improve. The

According to an ancient custom, the King of Sweden, on
the day of 14 CuPostilion, dines alone in the hall of the
palace, surrounded and served by the grand Dignitaries of
the Crown &ado( the Court. Letters from Stockholm state,
that several tickets of admission bad been delivered to see,
from the galleries, the table covered for the Royal dinner;
but the King has suppressed this ceremony.
The explosiuo of the powder mill at Saint lean d'Angely
was productive of the most disastrous effects. Upwards of
150 houses were throw• down or rendered uninhabitable;
IS persons were killed, and more than 100 wounded. The
damage is estimated at 1,400,000 francs. The explosion is
stated to bare been entirely owing to the imprudence of a
workout at the mill.
Accounts from Constantinople, of the 25th April, are
quoted in a Vienna article, staling that the Baron de Sung*.
noff, the Russian Minister at the Turkish Court, had re.
cently ueutued a higher tone in his negotiations, in conse
queues of new instructions from his Sovereign.

We hart received Charleston Papers to the 3d

A Dutch Mail has arrived. The following is an

IPSVICII IMONTIZIRI, JUUE 2.

The departure of his Grace the Duke of Wellington for
Paris was hastened by the arrival of several couriers at
Cambray. It is thought that the late Cunveutions with the
Allied Powers, fur the regulatiou of another affair, require
Isis presence at Paris. It seems certain that the Duke is to
be present at the Congress of the Sovereigns. This is the
reason that the review of the British troops is deferred till
the autumn. The review of the Ruuiaii army has answered
all espectatiou.

The destined cruise of the squadron which sailed
from Plymouth on Friday, is said to be fur exer-
cise in the Bay of Biscay, and thence to Madeira,
whence the squadron, which has only three months
provisions oil board, may be expected back in
seven or eight weeks.

A Meeting of inhabitants of Westminster was
held yesterday at the British Coffer-house, Cock-
spur-street, when a Requisition was signed for
putting Sir SAMUEL Rom' LLY in nomination as a
Representative fur that City at the ensuing election.
The public talents and domestic virtues of Sir
Sastiet. RomILLY must unite all hearts and
hands in his support. IVe, therefore, antici-
pate his success with confidence, and congratulate
this great City on the prospect of having for its
Representative the brat of the good—a man
aithout speck or blemish—a man with as much
perfection Is is destined fur mortals. The elec-
tion of s man who does honour to human nature,
must shed more lustre upon his constituents than
he can derive from their choice. The following
are collies of the Requisition, and of Sir SAMUEL
HoutzAr's Answer :
TO SIR SAMUEL ROMILLY.
