GERMAN PAPERS.

LEIPIIC, SCPTP.MBER

Tire fair iv now really began. and has hitherto
proved very favourable ; we have only to w►sh that it
may comiiine so. There are numerous purchasers
from Greece, Moldavia, Wallachia, Poland, and
Russia, and much bovines+ has been transacted
this week. The number of Jews here is considera-
ble, lam there are also many Engl►sh, French, and
Netherlanders, will' large magazines of goods, of
which extraordinary quantities have arrived here
within these three or four weeks.
PRANKTORT, OCTOBER 9.

• The ecclesiacical aflame of Protestant Germany,
and the regulation of them, are a chief subject of
conversation in this country. Since the lust answer
of Cardinal Gonsdvi to the proposals made to the
Court of Rome by the Plenipotentiaries of Ilse Ger-
man Sovereigns, it is considered as nearly certain
that the basis of the provincial arrangement will
be adopted no a maser almost agreeing with the
proposals. There are merely sonic modifications
which the Court of Rome wish to be seceded to;
but it is also affirmed, that these modifications are
ant proposed as absolute conditioas; and, cootie.
their non-acceptance would not break off
the iirgoci.itions which have hero for some time on
foot, nor much delay the conclusion of the
provincial arrangement above mentioned. Accord.
ing to the bases of the convention which is to be
concluded, the new division of the bishoprics is
fixed till a farther division, and may perhaps be
considered in some respects as definitive. Each of
the Slates which -hail take part in this negociation
will have a territorial fli-hop, for whose endowment
said that of his chapel very w,:table provision
shill be made. The Holy Sue shall enjoy the
right of contir iiiiii g the Bishop presented to it. It

MADRID, SEPTEMBER 27.
EVENING SITTING OE TOE CORTES, St rr. tS.

The Gist Cointwitte of Legislation Reports on
the proposal of his Nisjetoy to extend the sitting of
!he Cartes till the 9th November, that it is proper
to accede W this proposal by SIMMS sit it &acts
phicli Pall read—Approved.
The discussion begin of the project of law on

the Liberfy of the Pram. The Est Article was
read, which aoys :
Every Spaniard boa the right to grist pool rebOsta

Art. 2. Those writiogs only are ear plod front the, grateral
Nuie, which treat (toes") us the awed ScriPs!sre mid 160
dogma of our holy religion, which caostibe priatat without
the liceom of the etidioary.
M. ltioritoyo said, thsit this exception ought to
extend to those writings which app►ove of religiout
toleration, and exp►essed as ia.the 12th Article.
M. Torreno said, -that in that Article those
writings were spoken of which were subversive of
the fusidainentel law which prohibits toleratiou in
matter■ of religion.
M. Zapata said, that this Article was not clear,
for in his idea the writings spoken of in it must
be the Commentaries, brut rot those in which certain
religious mattes were occasionally treated of ; a
doubt still remains, whether the responsibility
would lie on the Bishop who gives the license, or
on the author.

M. Navas said, that writings in which certain
religious matters were oecasionslly treated of, did
not waist the license of the Ordinary, arid for that
reason the Committee had used the term versos
(turn) on religious matters.
The article was approved, as was also, and with-
out discinucion, the third.
The Ordinary cannot refuse his lifting without
previous censorship, of which a copy shall be given
to the author or editor, and if the hatter is dissatified
with it, he may require explaining Isis reasons that
the writing may be subjected to a second censorship.
Art. 4. If this should be against the work, the person in-
terested may apply to the Junta of Protection of the Liberty
of Ilse Press, which will be spoken of in the sequel, which
will send the writing with its opinion to the Ordinary, list
she latter might on better grounds grant or refuse the license,
which Mail be done within the space of three mouths at the
most, reckoning from the time that the author first pre-
sented the work.

A considerable discussion arose on this article.
M. Ca!straws said, that the intimate connexion
which subsists between the various articles sloes not
allow him to speak of this without reflecting MI the
whole. Hence • debate arose, whether they should
continose the discussion of each article seporetely, or
proceed at once to discuss the whole project. It was
resolved to discus the bests, and M. Calotrava
made some observations on the estabh►hment of
Juries, proposed by the Committee, stool said that
this institution was the safeguard of liberty. If
this innovation were admitted, be thought it
would suffice to make an addition to the regula-
tion of the Liberty of the Nese now in force.
After passing au encomium on the institution of
Juries is; Englaud, he said that we were riot in a
situati to n►ske a trial on things, which re-
quired cettain information► and knowledge, be-
cause such subjects depended, for the most part,
on the judgment of each individual, and there
were no fixed rules to determine them. Soots we
sl►all have codes, and then this trial may be made
with less difficulty.
A fter some further debate, in which Messrs. Mar-
tinez de la Rosa, Castello, and Florez Estrada took
part (the latter concurring with M. Coolatrovs, that
the institution of juries in France is defective,
whereas in England it may be said to be perfect)
it was revolved that the articles should be debated
separately, and the 4d. was approved, and also
the gth.
lot case the Ordinary should refuse to give or to
deity the license, or in any way act contrary to the
preceding articles, the person' interested may have
recourse to the Junta of Protection of the Liberty
of the Pres 4, which will bring it to the knowledge
of the Cortes.—Adjourned.—(.lJisccllunea, Septem-

THE DEATH OF MdRSHAL BRUNE.

[From " The New Monthly Magazine.")

Ve p 1 our readers with the followmg •ffectini details,
ea the best assilturity, as a melancholy example of the
mischiefs too often resulting fro.o the shave of the press.
Were those who make a trade of slasnler ouveeptoble of
any feelings of honour, this diradful catanruphr sight
serve to warn them from their adrucloia. practice :

After Marshal Brune hail submitted to the royal
goverument, he resigned the command of Mar-
seilles and of the Bth military division, about the
eud of July, 1815, to the Marquis she ltiviere. the
present Ambassador of Fiance to the Ottoman Porte,
who furnished loin with passports to return to Paris.
A certain presentiment, which turn of high spirit
arc often too proud to follow, determined the
Marshal to reifies I, at Toulon fur stone part of Bre-
tagne, and thelice to proceed to the capital. His
effects had already been conveyed un board, as
well as those of M. Reius, the Chief of his Stall.
False shame, and the fear lest he should be thought
to betray some weakness by those who urged low
to travel by land, and who described the toad as
perfectly safe, induced the Marshtl to change his
mind. Escorted by a squadron of horse, lie pur-
seied Ili* way through l'ruveuce, billowed by Ins
Aides-de-Camp. M. Bedos embarked according
to the original plan, and the sequel but too well
justified Ins caution.
Ou reaching the Durance, the Nlarslial, impelled
by a kind of dismissed his escort. Ou
Toesday, the 4J of August, 1815, about ten in the
worming. he arrived at Avignon. never to leave it
again alive. Ile alighted at the l'alais Royal hotel,
where he and his Aides-de-Camp breakfasted on a
room by themselves. One hour, one unfortunate hour,
had el lobed. The Marshal was just going to remount
Ins corriage, wheal lie was recognizod ; a soldier,
otailtbag with some other persous at tire door of a
cotter-house on the opposite side of the street, men-
tioi.ed his tame. The appearance of the veteran
officer excited among the spectators a respectful
curiosity, which was converted by a word into a very
tbiffielit feeline. A wretch, who joinet the popu.
lace tiorraiblea wand the c srriagr, exclaimed, " Ad.
mire die mutterer of the Princess Loinballe !"
At these words legimui of banditti seemed to

tained at the gste, where a post of the national guard
assumed an air of tot small importance at Raring
to examine the passport of a Marshal of Feauce.—
The olficer on duty insisted that this passport. which
was wholly iu the hand-writoog of the Marquis de
Itiviere, ought to be outmanned to the iiispectioo
of Major Leuibut, the provisional cosuutaudinit of
the tl:partinetit of Vaucluse. Every ututheues
delay augmented the danger ; an infuriated milli.

Aidetliescsnip, who mudded fur his safety alone;
they were parted from hint, and he was kept by
himself in a roos►. whe►e, wills the firmness of a
hero, he awaited the cmastrope which he foresaw.
The inhabitants of the whole city were assembled
before the house: the atrocious calumny first
broached ut the infamous publication of Lewis
Goldsmith, passed from mouth to mouth. Persons.
whose names are known, were seen running about
among the populace, repeating and c 1111 l :nearing
upou the vlairderours report. A cry was soon rased,
demanding the death of the veteran, whose blood had
so often flowed for France. though it is hut justice
to observe, that some of the officers of the national
guard exerted themselves to the utmost to prevent
violeoce.

to the Arm moments of the uproar, the Maratha
wrote a note in the following terms to the Austtiato
getters!, Nugent, who was then at Aitt•:—'• You
know our engagement. ; I am a prisoner at Avig.
non, and truat that you will hasten to release sue."
%Vino became (titbit, note it not known.

M. de Saint Charnel's, the' new Prefect of VIIII•
Ouse. had arrived in the preceding night, and was
iNcognito at the saute hotel. Roused by the tre-
mendous noise, he rose, and spewed himself to
the people. His authority was not recognised,
and mue of the ringleaders of the tumult had
even the effrontery to declare that lie was invested
with the functions of Prefect. The generuk was
beaten; the Mayor, the worthy and spirited M. Puy,
assisted by a company of time national guard and
some gent'-d'arme,„ replayed the furious populace
for a moment. Hr went to the Marshal, and *ought
in vain to favour his fl,ght. Ile again addressed
the rabble, but the latter endeavoured to force their
way through the monomial guard, who opposed the
most determined reststunce. The Mayor, at their
head, cried out to the rioters, a ‘Vreidtre! it is
only over toy lades% bo ly that ye ran reach the
Marshal !" and placed himself in the midst of the
bayonets, by which the door of time house was de-
fended.

lei the mean time others of the banditti scaled she
walls in the rear, awl penetrated into the hotel. The
Mondial heard them approaching, and desired

fire-place, uncovered his breast, without iliterieig a
word. A voice repeated ise his presence the catnip-
Mous accusation, which served as a pretext for the
rage of the depraved populace. " Nly blood btu
flowed for my country," replied he, to his ex-
ecutioners, " I have glow!' old under the banners
of honour. I was Go leagues from Paris, when the
crime of which I am accused was perpetrated."—
" You moat die," cried one of the villains inter-

turn stow," said with a carbine the wretch extended
on the floor a warrior, whom glory had accompa-
nied in twenty battles, and crowned with the laurels
of Mincio, Verona, and Tevernelle.
It was two o'clock. The murderers burst into
the apartment aud plundered the etl'ects of their vic-
tim; they found, arnoag other dour, a sabre of
great value, which the Grand Seignor had presented
to the Marshal. After the completion of the bloody
deed, our of she murderers appeared he the balcony,
adorned with the white feathess from the General's

ous shoot, and that the booty should be

irs', ',Need upon a bier, and canted towards the
church-yard; but the fury of the mob was mot
yet appeased; twenty paces from the hotel they
seized the body and dragged it by the heels, aide
heat of drum, to the ninth arch of the bridge,
where they threw it into the Rhone, having
first
horribly mangled it with all kinds of weapons.
The General's Aides-de-camp were withdrawn by
the master of the hotel and another person from
the rage of the populace, and they were kept con-
cealed for several days, till they could leave the
town in safety.
All the horrors of this infernal deed are not yet
related. Fran Iles, not belonging to the lowest class,
danced the fisrandula iu the public square that was
yet stained with blood ; loofa bring Ur human shape

the midst of these Megrerae. It is said that a pro.
tea-verbal was draw,, up, artestiug shut Marshal
Brune committed suicide. If our of the principal
actors in this atrocious scene were not yet bidding
defiance to justice, we might almost believe that
Providence itself had undertaken to punish them;
for the first instigator of the crime expired a few
slays afterwards in the most agonising tortures of re-
morse and despair.
The Rhone carried the corpse of the hero to a
spot between Taratcon and Arles, and there threw
it upon the sandy shore; hut ►uch was the terror
which the murderers of Avignon had spread around,
that no our durst consign the mutilated body to
the earth. For several days it was left a !trey to
ravens, till sit lenge!' humane persons removed it by
night, and covered it with quick-hate. A citizen, who
had taken ■ bug and dangerous journey to rescue
the mangled remains of a Grimm! of the old French
army from the birds of prey, collected them with
religious care, and returued to Paris to deliver to
his faintly the mournful present.

An extraordinary phenomenon was lately observed
at Augsburg. At day-brrik two luminous bodies
appeared on each side of the sun. Tice sun itself
was surrounded by a brilliant circle not entirely
closed. In 'he evening, hoot 56 minutes after ant to
within 17 minutes of seven, the ground was covaraal
with tninspareut dew; and after sunset a disk
