Emperor, however, is far from cherisning them ; nod if he
admitted the possibility of a result so useful, he would make
it depend upon the unanimity which might munifcst itself le
opinion of the principal pito rigid Europe, as to the ACT by
which the representatives of the Spanish people ought to
signalise the opening of their delibenttions. This unanimity,
always so powerful alien it takes the cheraetetber an irre-
vocable deed, will perhaps carry cuoviction to the miatlit of

desired that, in Enrope, as in America, isslitutions con.

of the age, might procure to all Spaniards loug years of
peace and happirie.s. They desire the same at this mu-

GERMAN PAPERS.
0 SW/TURLAND, JULY 26.—The Papal Nuncio at
Lucerne is said to have received information of the
events at Naples by an express from his Court. The
foreigners are reported to be very obnoxious to the
people, especially the Austrians and English, who
are considered as enemies to the new order of things.
The persons formerly arrested for their political
opinions, but who were subsequently set at liberty
here for some time past, committed various excesses
in the capital, which were in a measure the prelude
to the events which have since occurred. They
are supposed to have been secretly in the pay of the
Carbonari, and to have been set on by them.
The Governor of Rome, Pscco, nephew to the
C'rdinal, and who lately fled from Rome, is reported
to have been a leader of the Carbonari, and since he
left Rome, to have lived secretly in the kingdom of
Naples, to have directed the intrigues, and prepared
every thing for the explosion. It is further stated,
that Rome was to have been the central point of the
revolution, but that a priest, who was arrested, dis.
closed so his oonfesenr the secret plots of the gover-
nor, who, being informed of the discovery, hastened
to take flight. Notwithstanding this, a fermentation
is said to have been observed in some towns in the
Papal dominions-..may, even in Rome itself.
CARLFRIIIIII, Juror 29.—As the navigation of the
Mediterranean (and not long since even of the North
Sea) becomes more and more dangerous to the Ger-
man merebentmen,on account of the Barbary pirates,
and as the public payers now so frequently mention
this subject, and allude to what are called Turkish
passports, it will doubtless be agreeable to our read-
ers to have some information on &bighead.
The crowns of Denmark and Sweden purchase
the safety of their flags by paying an annual tribute
to those pirates. The flags of the German states are
:sot respected, and the German captains (that is,
G those of Prussia, Mecklenburgh, Oldenburgh, and
the three Hanseatic cities) must therefore endeavour
to obtain by underhand means the protection of
Denmark or Sweden. The proceeding is as follows:
—The owner of the ship sells (but 0:14 to appear.
ance) Ms vessel to the captain; the latter then sails
to Denmark or Sweden, where he purchases the
rights of citizenship, which, together with the inci-
dental capeuks to attain the desited end, costs about
70 :ix-dollars, species Banco. The ship is then
taken to the dock-yard, the carpenters make a show
of working at it, end the owner of the vessel, now a

Swedish or Danish citizen, receives from some ship.
wright residing on the spot the necessary certificate
that the ship is built there This costs 8 Grouch,

ments, the captain goes to the Town-hall at Stock.
holm, where he receives two sealed signal letters, as
they are called, and a Turkish passport ; which
papers cost likewise several dollars. He is obliged
to take an oath not to open those paper's till lie meets
a pirate, and not to sell, give, or show them to any
person, in case he should not have occasion for them
himself. If the captain meets a pirate, and pro.
duces his Turkish passport in the hands of pirate,
of the same tenour, and found correct, the captain is
at liberty to proceed on his voyage.
The Governments of Denmark and Sweden now
require, that he who desires a Turkish passport
shall really live there, or.at least give security, by
depositing a sum of mangy, that the vessel does not
belong to any foreign owner.

Advice* from the coast of Barbary, of the 10th
of July, contained in letters from Gibraltar of the
13th of the same month, state, that an insurrection
of a very formidable nature bad taken place in the
army of the Emperor of Morocco. A regiment of
the guards to the Emperor, being ordered to escort
him from Rebalt, one of his summer residences, to
Morocco, refused compliance, and, disregarding all
attempts to restrain them, suddenly marched off
towards Fez, which they entered tumultsously,
where they committed the greatest excesses, plun.
dering and ill-treating all the inhabitants, but par-
ticularly the Jews. The next directed their march
towards Tetuan but the inhabitants, aware of their
approach, resisted their entrance, and compelled
them to retire. The Emperor, with a portion of
his guards that remained faithful, proceeded towards
Morocco, but had taken no measures to bring back
he rebellious troops to their duty. This state of
things had Spread great alarm through the country,
and caused a casette interruption to the commerce
by land.
. . . . .
The rumour of a new commotion at Berlin is
officially contradicted. The 3d of August was the
day on which the King had at last prosni,ed to fulfil
engagement to give his people a Constitution,
and there are, as yet, no arrivals from Berlin of a
recent date.
Madras Papers have arrived to the 11th March.
They contain no decisive intelligence with respect to
the operations of the expedition under Sir %V. G.
Keir, on the Persian Gulf: An article from Bombay
mentions the arrival, at that Presidency, on the 18th
of February, of the Naiades cruizer, with dispatches
from Sir W. Keir, and a copy of the Treaty which
had been concluded with the pirate Chiefs, who had
accepted the terms dictated to them. It is added,
" with the exception of the troops necessary to gar-
rison the stations that may be retained in the Gulf,
and the shipping requisite for their supplies of wa-
ter and provision, the whole of the expedition is
expected to return to this port in the course of next
month, or at latest in April. We may hope, there-
fore, that the rumour which was in circulation a
week or ten days ego, respecting the severe loss said
to have been sustained by the 47th and 64th regi-
went,' will prove to have been unfounded.—We
learn from these Papers that the cholera toorbia,
which bad so long afflicted the island of Mauritius,
had almost entirely ceased its ravages.
Her Majesty will positively take possession of the
house of Lady Francis, which is next to the man-
sion of Lord Castlereagh, in St. James's Square.—
The house is lent to her Majesty gratuitously by
Lady Francis, and is to be held only as a temporary
dwelling during the approaching proceedings in
Parliament. It is now painting, and getting ready
for the Queen's reception. Her Majesty will sleep
at Ludy Francis's house, on Tuesday night, and
will go from thence daily to the House of Lords.—
The Queen made application to Ministers for several
houses which she would have liked; but as objec-
tions were made to her occuping them, Lady Francis
offered the use of the above house as long as she
might require it.
Race against 7';ine.—The match to run against each
other, tell miles. for too guineas aside, betweetiCapt.
Pierrepoint and Mr. Fenwick, both celebrated for pe-
destrian feats, took place on Monday morning over
eirede of two miles on the Southern part of Bagshot
Heath. It was a real sporting match, and every inch
was closely contested. The Captain took the lead, and
until the sixth toile both kept together. The first nit!e
was done in 6 minutes 4 seconds; second, 5 minutes;
third, S minutes 3 seconds; fourth, 5 minutes 6 se-
conds; fifth and half the distance, S minutes 8 seconds,
making half an hour and 19 seconds. The Captain
made extraordinary play in the sixth mile, and lie did
it in 4 minutes sti seconds, leaving his adversary nearly
50 yard. behind. The seventh he did in rise minims
to seconds; eight, 5 minutes so seconds; ninth. 5 mi-
nutes 30 seconds; tenth, 5 minutes 50 seconds. Capt.
Pierrepoint overtook his adversary at the beginning 01
the tenth mile, headed him, and heat him by 60 yards,
having performed the ten miles under sixty.on,e miautes
and a half, which is a Rapt ,fxtraordinary performance,
