GERMAN PAPERS.

SWITZERLAND, 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 Austrian' and English, who
are considered as enemies to the new order of things.
The persons formerly arrested for their political
opinions, but wko were susequently 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.
'1 he Governor of Rome, Pacco, 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 prie..t, who was arrested, dis-
closed to his confessor the secret plots of the gover-
nor, who, being informed of the discovery, hastened
to take flight. Notwithstanding this, a f riaentation
is said to have been observed in some towns in the
Papal dominions—nay, even in Rome itself.
CARLSRUHZ. JULY 2g.—As the navigation of the
Mediterranean (and not long since even of the North
Sea) becomes more and more dangerous to the Ger-
man merchantmen, on account of the Barbary pirates,
and as the public papers now so frequently mention
this subject, and allude to what are called Turkish
passports, it wiU doubtless be agreeable to our read-
ers to have some information on this head.
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
not respected, and the German captains (that is.
those of Prussia, Mecklenhurgh, Oldenburgh, and
the three Hanseatic cities) mu►t therefore endeavour
to obtain by underhand means the protection of
Denmark or Sweden. The proceeding is as follows:
—The owner of the sells (but on,y to appear-
ance) his vessel to the captain ; the latter then sails
to Denmark or Sweden, where he purchases the
rights of citizenship, which, together with the invi-
dental expenses to attain the &ailed end, costs about
70 rtx-dcllars, species Banco. The ship is then
taken to the dock-yard, the carpenters make a show
of working at 'it, and the owner of the vessel, now

Swedish or Danish citizen, receives from some ship.
wright residing on the spot the necessary mt.: ificate
that the ship is built there. This costs 8 Groach,
(Is. English) per last. Provided with these docu.
ments, the captain goes to the Town hall at Stock.
holm, where he receives two sealed signal letters, as
they are callol, and a Turkish passport; which
papers cost lifirwise several dollars. He is obliged
to take as oath not to open those papers till he meets
a pirate, and not to sell, give, or show them to any
persan, 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 the pirate,
of the same tcnour, 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 money, that the vessel does not
belong to any foreign owner.

Advices 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 formidab:e nature had taken place in the
army of the Emperor of Morocco. A regiment of
the guards to the Emperor, being ordered to escort
him from liebalt, one of his summer residences, to
Morocco, refused compliance, and, disregarding all
attempts to restrain them, suddenly marched off
towards Fez, which they entered tumultuously,
where they committed the greatest excesses, plan.
dering and ill-treating all the inhabitants, but par.
titularly 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 titithful, 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 complete 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 promi,ed to fulfil
his 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 W. G.
Keir, on the Persian Gulf. An article from Bombay
mentions the arrival, at that Presidency, on the 18th
of February, of the Nautilus cruizer, with dispatches
from Sir W. Keir, and a copy of the Treaty which
bad been concluded with the pirate Chiefi, 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 fur 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 (lays ago, respecting the severe loss said
to have been sustained by the 47th and 64th regi-
wents, will prove to have been unfounded.—We
learn from these Papers, that the cholera morbus,
which had so lung afflicted the island of Mauritius,
had almost entirely ceased its ravages.
Her Majesty will positively take possession of tie
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 Lady Francis's house, on Tuesday night, and
will go from thence daily to the House of Loris.—
The Queen made application to Ministers for several
houses which she would have liked; but as oljee-
tions were made to her occuping them, Lady Francis
offered the use of the above house us long as she
might require it.

MIDOn.
MONDAY, AUGUST 1C

The Queen has addressed a letter to the King, but
its contents have not transpired. It was delivered to
his Majesty at Windsor Cottage early on Tuesday
morning, and, as has been stated, a messenger ar-
rived with an answer at Brandenburgh House at
four o'clock the same afternoon. It is suppustd that
any further communication on the subject of the
contents of the letter was desired to be made to the
Earl of Liverpool, as a messenger was immediately
despatched to his Lordship by her Majesty, who re-
turned to Brandenburgh House at ten o'clock at
night. It is therefore supposed that his Nfajesty has
catirely left this delicate business to Ministers, con-
sistent with the language which they held in both
Houses when the unfortunate business was first sub-
mitted to Parliament. The Lord Chancellor on
Thursday left the Court of Chancery for the pur-
pose, it was said, of receiving a communication from
Sir Benjamin Bloomfield, who had arrived in town
in great haste froN Windsor. On the Chancellor's
return to the Bench, he informed the 13ar, that he
must rise at two o'clock, being called upon to attend
elsewhere- The communication made by Sir B.
Bloomfield is supposed to relate to the correspondence
between their Majesties.

The llama liberty is rapidly extending itself—
it has burst forth in Sicily, but we grieve to state
that it has not, as in other recent, popular, and
patriotic efforts been unattended by the effusion
of human blood.

The refractory Sicilians, who are these in general
attached to the Nobles, appear unwilling to re.
ceive the Law and the Constitution of the Neapoli-
tans, and have sulactl to atir banner the yellow
colour, which is that of the Island. They have
bad several sharp skirmishes with the Constitution.
