GERMAN PAPERS.

BERLIN, OCT. 10.—The stagnation both in public and
private business, caused by the cholera, is increased by the
absence of all the members of the Royal family, ex-
cept his Majesty the King himself, who has just left
his summer residence at Charlotteburg, and returned to his
palace in this city. The Crown Prince is at Te-
gernsee, Princes William, Charles, and Frederick at
Luduzsludt and Schwerin ; Prince Albert is gone to the
Hague. Prince William, the King's brother, is at
Mayence, and likewise Prince Waldemar ; Princes Adal-
bert and Augustus are now probably at Constantinople.
COPENHAGEN, OCT. 13.—We learn from Christiana
that thirty gun-boats will be built according to the plan of
Captain Louis ; they are to have each two mortars (60-
pounders) and several howitzers.
FRONTIERS.OP POLAND, OCT. 30.—8 y a Russian Ukase
lately issued, the estates of the Polish emigrants, which
have been under sequestration, are to be disposed of, for the
benefit of Russian civil officers and others in narrow circum-
stances, and in this partition regard will be had not so much to
the services of the individuals as to their civil or military rank.
Thus Russia will create in Poland itself a Russian aristo-
cracy, by means of which not only that country may be kept
in check, but which in case of need would form a counter-
poise to the old Russian nobility.
Lithuania finds it difficult to recover from the evils
which war and persecution have brought upon it, and bands
of robbers now infest that fine country. With respect
to Cracow, there has been an idea of incorporating it with
the kingdom, but it would be a thousand times better, as
well for the city and the general good, that Cracow should
be assigned to Austria, and become the capital of Austrian
Poland. Whatever may happen, the status quo can not
possibly be maintained ; the city, which sees its trade de-
cline, and poverty increasing, would suffer too much by it.
The state of Austrian Poland is more favourable.

ROME, OCT. 6.—During the last five years a revisal of
the codes has been repeatedly began, but no essential im-
provement in the administration of justice has yet been
effected. A new Commission is now appointed to examine
both the penal and the civil code, in order to put an end to
the complaints which are more and more vehement. Four
Cardinals, Falzacappa, Gamberini, Alherghi, and Tiberi,
are appointed members of this Commission, with Men-
signore Bontadosi as secretary. The lawyers who are to
take part in this important work are not yet known. Let
us hope that the matter will be taken up in earnest.
Monsignore Capaccini, Under Secretary of State, has re-
turned from his tour in Germany, and expresses himself as
much satisfied with his stay in the capitals which he
visited. The Savings Bank here, where preparations had
been made to pay out large sums, was not called upon
during the prevalence of the cholera, to pay in all more
than 15,000 scudi, which shows the great confidence ce the
public in that useful establishment. The last Ordinance
respecting the cholera displeases the common people,. who
no longer believe that the disorder is contagious, while the
physicians stilly maintain their old opinions, either not to
retract what they have once said, or not to argue with the
foreign physicians. In one of the most populous parts of
the city, a house, in which- a ease of cholera occurred, was
ordered to be isolated; but the neighbours interposed, and
the measure could not be executed. Diplomatic interven-
tion has succeeded in gettir'e the system of blockade given
up ; the frontier is again free for • travellers, and our
Government has therefore given orders to remove the sana-
tory cordon en the line between Terracina and Frasinone,
and nit to stop travellers coming by that road. D. Dietz,
from Vienna, has received a very kind letter from the
Duchess of Perrna, acknowledging, in the most Lttering
terms, his exertions during the cholera. lie, as we'l as the
other German physicians now here, have acquired the
esteem and gratitude of the right-minded Rant ans in the
highest degree ; but they are not without those who envy
them, among their Italian colleagues.

TtIE RAI LwAY—During the four days of the
races last week the number of passengers on the railway
was 19,494—0 n the Leith Branch, 2,244. It is renrul.-
able that, notwithstanding the great numbers of passengers
conveyed on this railway, it being in that respect only the
third or fourth-rate in the kingdom, only one passenger has
ever met with a serious accident, and that was a woman
who took a panic at the horse stumbling before a coach,
jumped out and broke ber arm.—Edinburgh Evening
Courant.

Burton, in Dula] Queen's Bench Chamber, Mr. Dunn,

and two sureties of 5001. each.—Dublin Paper.
Only fifteen workmen are at present employed on
the works at Pompeii. An Englishman lately obtained
permission to lodge for fifteen days in one of the old Roman
houses lately opened here. He had the house completely
repaired in the true classical style, and he and his family all
assumed the Roman costume. During his fortnight he
read none but the old Latin authors, and his table was
served in the fashion of a genuine citizen of the Roman
republic.

There has been a meeting of great families upon
the projected separation in high life ; and, although great
difficulties at first presented themselves, a compromise has
taken place.

Yesterday afternoon an inquest was held at the sign
of the Fox, Keaton, near Bromley, Kent, before Mr. C. J.
Carttar, on view of the body of Edward German, aged 24
years. It appeared in evidence that as the deceased, who
was a carter in the employ of Mr. Butcher, farmer, of
Keston, was going down Fox-hill (at Keston) on Tuesday
morning last, with a load of sand, he was knocked clown
by the horse, and the wheel passing over his body killed
him on the spot, several of his ribs and left wrist being
broken. Verdict—" Accidental death." The unfortunate
younr, man was to have been married yesterday.
Yesterday afternoon, about three o'clock. Mr. Mer-
cier, builder, of Primrose-place, Kentish-town, on his re-
turn home to dinner, felt himself taken suddenly ill. He
had hardly time to express a wish to see a doctor, when be
fell back in his chair and almost instantly expired. Sur-
gical assistance was immediately procured, but life was ex-
tinct. Ile was a most abstemious man, and for the last
five-and-twenty years was never the least afflicted, bearing
a great antipathy to medicines. He has left a large family
to deplore his loss.

Sheridan Knowles has another new play nearly
finished, which will be ready for performance before

This day is the anniversary of the victory obtained
of the British at Trafalgar and the death of the immortal
Nelson, who was killed in the action in 1805.
The ancient carved gates, lately sent from the Le-
vant to the Museum at Versailles, were those of the hos-
pital of the knights at Rhodes. With them is a bell, which
belonged to the church of the hospital, and it appears
that they were obtained from the Pacha of Rhodes, by
the Prince de Joinville, while on his cruise in the Levant
last year. . _

A newspaper in French is about to be published at
Vienna. Prince Metternich was long against this plan,
but has lately consented to it, partly to diminish the intro-
duction of papers published in France, and partly with a
view to oppose the Russian tendency of the Journal de
Fran(foil.
The dinner to be given at Guildhall by the Lord
Mayor Ocet and the Sheriffs, will take place on Thursday,
the 16th of November. The 15th of November was first
named, but in -consequence of that day being appointed for
the meeting of Parliament, and the election of the Speaker
of the House of Commons. the dinner has been postponed
to the following day, when there will be a great abundance
of the Iwzories of life.

LONDON:
SATURDAY EVENING OCTOBER 21, 1937.

One of those animated and imposing gatherings
which are so congenial to tl►e Highland spirit, took-
place at Inverness on Thursday se'n►►ight. The
principal gentry residing in the capital of the High-
lands and in the neighbouring counties, to the number
of several hundreds, assembled for the purpose of tes-
tifying their respect to RODERICK M`LEOD, Esq.,
younger of Cadboll, the Representative of tl►e
Inverness district of boroughs, by entertaining that
gentleman at a public dinner.
The Northern Meeting Rooms were fitted up for
the occasion with an elegance that called forth uni-
versal praise. We have perused the speeches de-
livered at this great meeting with great pleasure.
They are given at considerable length by our able and
respected Contemporary, the Inverness Courier, and
we regret that it is not in our power to-day to transfer
them to our columns. Sure we are that they can be
read by no one without admiration of the talent dis-
played—by no sincere Reformer without a cordial
concurrence in the sentiments uttered, and the prin-
ciples advocated by the speakers.
The speech of the Rev. Mr. STARK is particularly
deserving of public attention. It is one of the best
that have been delivered at any of the Reform meet-
ings held since the dissolution of Parliament, and we
shall certainly make room for it on Monday.
The Chairman, Captain FRASER of Balmain, who
was unexpectedly called upon to preside over the
meeting in consequence of the absence, from illness, of
the gentleman who was to have taken the chair,
discharged the duties of his office with a promptitude
of address, an eloquence, and a tact, such as would
have done honour to any one, however much in the
habit of presiding at public assemblies.

The Honourable Gentleman, in honour of whom
the entertainment was given, entered at length
into the great questions of Irish policy, with
which he showed himself familiarly acquainted.
He described the condition of Ireland since the
Union, and showed that that condition was any-
th►ng but what was intended by the incorporation of
the kingdoms. Mr. MACLEOD then explained the
reasons of this failure, and pointed out the course of
policy by which the union could be made productive of
beneficial effects to both countries.

We direct the attention of our readers to Lord
CLONCURRY'S answer to Mr. O'CONNELL'S letter,
proposing a meeting of the Irish Members of the two
Houses of Parliament in Dublin, before the opening
of the Imperial Legislature in November, which will
be found in our columns of this day. We have no doubt
that the meeting will he well attended, and just as

little that it will be followed by the most important
results, provided the object in view be solely the plac-
ing of Ireland on a politic:al (quality with England
and Scotland. The Noble Lord's letter will repay
tl:e trouble of a careful and attentive perusal.

Our Contemporary the Post is continually falling
into some blunder or other on the subject of the war
in :;pain. In this theie is less to be wondered at, than
in his anxiety to uphold the Pretender as a mirror of
clenv-utcy. Has our Contemporary any intLvidual cause
for harping so constantly on a s'ring which sounds so
d:scordantly in. the public ear ? To laud the wherry

lat carries one safely over the ferry
is natural, but

if the boat look crazy and worm-eaten, it Wouid be as
well to account for the praise by explailing the service
which calls it forth. So at least thought Mr. WAL-

ToN, for in dwelling upon the urbanity of Don CAR-
LOs, he was careful to inform his readers that his
Royal Highness, when a fugitive in England, had en-
tertained his panegyrist with more than an hour's social
chatat Gloucester-lodge. Has our Contemporary, then,
or any of his personal friends, experienced the exercise
of that clemency which the world has yet to' learn is
peculiarly characteristic of the Durango butcher ?
The Post, we must presume, has some motive for
holding up the Pretender as a pattern of clemency, in
open defiance of hundreds of proofs of the savage blood-
thirstiness of his nature, and to obtain credit for such
a statement, the motive, whatever it is, ought to be
stated. Thus, in commenting this morning on the
liberation of the three English gentlemen seized by
the Carlists on their way to Madrid, the Post coolly
observes :

" Don Carlos, in this case, has acted with the generosity
which is a distinguished trait of his character. He knows
that Colonel Wylde, who was hospitably received by him
at Segura, as a representative of the British Cabinet, has
subsequently laid aside his neutral character, and placed
himself at the head of the army of the Queen. He knows
that the failure before Bilbao was altogether owing to the
active suggestions of Colonel Wylde, and he is also aware
that Colonel Lacey and his companions were destined to
fulfil similar missions with the different divisions of the
enemy's force. There could be no doubt that these officers
were as much prisoners of war as the Lieutenant of Marines
I lately taken near Hernani ; and we feel that Den Carlos
I has really exceeded the bounds of prudence in giving way to
his good nature, and not taking advantage of this opportu-
nity to let Lord Palmerston know that he is in a situation not
to be trigkd with."
GOD forbid that we should attribute to our Contem-
porary criminal motives ; but has he reflected on the
Carlist interpretation •of this rather mysterious con-
cludina sentence? Would he have Don CARLOS
shoot the three unarmed officers whom he seized,
clothed with the sanctity of British Commissioners to
the-Cabinet of Madrid ? In this sense, will every
follower of the Pretender interpret the language of
the Post ; and we shall be surprised indeed, if a
paragraph penned in very thoughtlessness of the dread-
! ful lesson so clearly inculcated, lead not to the imino,
lation of the next English prisoners seized by the
brutal butchers of the captive Legionaries. The Post,
we must in charity suppose, meant no more than that
Don CARLOS ought to have kept the Commissioners
close prisoners ; but the passage will bear, with strict
regard to grammatical accuracy, a worse construction.
Besides, the object of the article altogether is to show
that Don CARLOS suffers from his excessive lenity,
and as his murders of the English prisoners is not once
alluded to, his partizans can only infer that the Post
approves of such executions, and tacitly regrets that re-
course was not had to them on the occasion referred to.
Our Contemporary would do well in future, to avoid a
liability to such dangerous misconstructions, by stating
plainly and honestly his opinioi.s in detail of the con-
duct of the Spanish Pretender—particularly as re-
gards the murder of the English prisoners. When
the lives of our fellow-subjects are at stake, there
ought to be no mystery in the language employed by
public Journalists on subjects likely to affect their
duration.

If our Contemporary only intended to express regret
that Doh CARLOS did not keep the Commissioners
close prisoners, we cordially unite with him in that sen-
timent. Such conduct would have brought his Peeten-
dership in direct collision with-the Government of this
country—•a position which would have given us most
unfei,ned pleasure. Lord PALMERSTON, culpably
indifferent as he really is to the settlement of the
Spanish question, could not tamely put up with a
violation of the sanctity of the ambassadorial character,
in the persons of the Commissioners. The nation
would not suffer him so to sacrifice the dignity of • the
British Crown. ThiS Don CARLOS well knew, and
therefore he avoided the shoals upon which the Post
would recommend the stranding of his rebellious hopes.

The King of SARDINIA, as all the world knows,
i 3 the most faithful ally of Don CA Rrms—the agent
through whom the Holy Alliance makes its monthly
remittances in support of the rebellion in Spain. In
fact his Majesty of SARDINIA is, in the opinion of
the leading Tories of this country, a pattern of
royalty and religion ; and it has been boldly ad-
vanced that Don CARLOS, on ascending the Throne
of Spain, would adopt the enlightened policy of
the mighty monarch of Sardinia. We never doubted
this—nay, we were the first to maintain that
nothing could be more likely. We asserted, that were
Don CARLOS elevated to the throne of Spain, the
quisition would be restored in full vigour—that the
Supreme. Judges of the land would,be men clothed in
the white habit of St. DOMINIC. How far this would
be at variance with the religious toleration of the
SOVEREIGN of Sardinia, we leave our readers to infer
from the following extract from the German papers
received yesterday. but which want of space prevented
us from publishing in yesterday's Sun ;

TURIN, OCT. 2.—Whoever considers the sincere efforts
of our present King to improve the state of the country,
by the establishment of manufactures, the extension of
commerce, the erection of public buildings, making new
roads, &c., and also remembers his humane and intrepid
conduct at Genoa during the prevalence of the cholera,
cannot comprehend how it was possible for his Government
lately to issue a circular, which prohibits all notaries from
drawing up deeds in favour of Protestants, even deeds of
purchase and sale in which Protestants are parties. Nay,
more, henceforth Protestants are not to be called as wit-
nesses in the kingdom of Sardinia. This spirit of intole-
rance, which would throw the people back to the beginning
of the 17th century, when our country, as is well known,
was one of the least enlightened, is in perfect unison with
the lately published scheme of a new civil code, on which
the most eminent lawyers of the country and the Univer-
sity have been engaged for these seven years, and from
which much was expected,-especially as our civil legislation
is still so much behindhand, and recalls to mind times that
are long past. In this project the Protestants are treated
in civil contracts worse than the Jews. At all events this
is not the way to make the inhabitants of Piedmont and
Savoy forget the code of Napoleon.

The whole of the Paris Journals of Thursday have
been received. A telegraphic communication had been
made to tl,e Government from Spain, announcing that
on the 14th, IRIARTE had conducted the Foreign
Legion from Pampeluna to Urro on its way to Jaca.
The posts of the Valcarlos line are about to be suc-
cessively attacked by seven battalions and several
pieces of artillery, under . the joint command of
GUERQUE and GONY. These troops have concen-
trated themselves at Engui, and will commence ope-
rations by a general assault on Zubiri. On the 10th,
ESPA RTERO marched from Salas in quest of the Pre-
tender, who was reported to have posted himself on
the road to Aranda.
The French Government received the following des-
patches from Africa :

" GENERAL DAMREMONT TO THE MINISTER OF WAR.

•‘ TOULON, 17TH OCTOBER.—BONA, 12TIL—By his
letter of the 10th, written on the plateau of Manshoura, Ge-
neral Peregaux announces that the army arrived before
Constantine on the Gth. It rained a great deal for two
days, which very much impeded the operations of the siege ;
but the weather had become fine again, and it was expected
that the breaching batteries would begin to play on the
1 1 Lb. The Duke do Nemours was in good health. Col.
Bernelie, who is at the camp, will join the army on the
13th with three battalions, 200 cannoneers, 250 horse art
twery, and two 12 pounders. These troops will take
under their escort the Prince de Joinville, who arrived a-
Medjez-el-Hamar on the 9th.
.‘ GENERAL DAMEEMONT TO THE MINISTER OF WAR.
" Toe LON, OCT. 17, HALF-EAST EIGHT, P.M.—SAMIIA,
OCT. 5.-1 have arrived here with the two first brigades
and the besieging. artillery ; the rest of the army, and the
convoy which joined this morning, are about to follow. We
are within sight of Constantine. Everything there appears
~be eitl et. We cannot perceive any new works. Au
incon.iderable camp is on our left, and several groups of
Arabs are going to it. We shall bivouac to-night near
the town. The, weather is fine, and the army perfectly
healthy."

In addition to the above, the Commerce announces

the death of the BEY of Tunis, on the 10th inst., in
the 52d year of his age. We quote the paragraph
_ •

" The Acheron, ust arrived at Toulon, has brought intel-
ligence that the Bey, Sidi Muatapha, died on the 10th inst.,
in consequence of an aneurism of long existence ; and that
his son, Sidi Achmet, has been proclaimed his successor
without any opposition. The new Bey is about 30 years
of age, full of energy, end of a fz od nalornl un-
derstanding, ;.- T -

it is added, a.p.irtialny an:
the French. The late Bey was in his 52d year, and had
always conducted the affairs of his Government with pru-
dence and judgment. The Acheron left at Tunis the Jena,
bearing Admiral Lalande's flag, with the Sufren and Al-
gesiras under his command. The Sufren had by an acci-
dent unshipped her rudder ; as soon as this was refitted the
Admiral was to proceed with his squadron to Bona, to
bring back to France the sick and the troops, after the.
capture of Constantine. It appears that Admiral Gallois
and his ships will remain for some time at Tunis, as the
Diligente was about to be sent to him from Toulon with
supplies."

There is no domestic news of the least general inte-
rest in the French papers. The Opposition prints
complain, and with some show of justice, of the at-
tempts of the Court to revive the etiquette of the old
regime, on such occasions as the marriages of the
younger branches of the Royal family. The Bank of
France has established a branch bank at St. Quentin,
which is considered only a preliminary step to the
establishment of such branch banks in all the large
commercial towns of the kingdom. The elections are
proceeding in favour of the Court candidates, but
nothing definite is known as to what line of policy
the KING will adopt at the opening of the Chambers.
The following are extracts :
(Extract from a letter from Bayonne of the 13th inst.)
The immediate topic of the day is the following :—Cap-
tain Chadwick, late of the 3d Westminster Grenadiers, not
being in good health, was sojourning at a cottage on the
right bank of the river, between Terrara and Passages, with
only his servant, a mere boy. On the morning about four
o'clock, he was awoke by two armed men entering his room,
who told him he was a prisoner of his Majesty Charles the
Fifth. Chadwick remonstrated, assured them he was not an
officer, nor then connected with the Legion. Their only reply
was that he must at once leave. Having forced him out of
bed, and compelled him to dress, they then packed up all
his things, during which time he unperceived slipped a
case of pistols into his pockets. His horse having been
saddled, and he mounted, they all proceeded along, ono hold-
ing the bridle, while the other followed in the rear with the
servant as prisoner. The morning was beautifully fine,
and the men continued in the direction of Alza ; when,
passing near a grove at the foot of the hill which leads to
Renteria, Chadwick pulled out of the pistols and fired at
the man leading the horse, who immediately fell wounded:
His companion, who was panic-stricken, let go the ser-
vant, who ran towards the river, flung himself in, and
swani safe to the opposite shore, while Chadwick rode with
the greatest haste to Alza, and, having alarmed the guard
stationed there, they proceeded to the place. No trace
could be found, with the exception of some blood on the
earth, sufficient time being given to carry away the wounded
•man. Chadwick saw him fall, having, as he says, hit him
thioligh the head. What renders this hold attack the more
remarkable, is that a company of the Royal Irish were sta-
tioned in a house on the bank of the river, not fifty yards
from Chadwick's residence.

We have seen the news from Madrid of the 10th. The
letters of the 9th say positively that M. Mendizabal departs
for London. He is resolved to quit the ungrateful country,
in which not one Electoral College has chosen him to sit in
the next assembly of the Cortes.
It is said that the action of Retuerta leaves the two
parties in state quo. Some persons expect a great battle
before the winter closes ; others imagine that the Carlist
Generals only think of repassing the Ebro, before the rains
set in. Besides this, theie is a story which represents Don
Carlos as being in a very precarious state of health, and
so accounts for the inactivity of his Generals.
Among the letters brought by the Crocodile, is the fol-
lowing, dated " Store, Bth October. All the reports re-
ceived to-day from the South say that the French were
encamped before Constantine the evening before yesterday.
A crowd of Arabs, who had not yet stirred, are setting out
from all quarters in hopes of some good opportunity to
plunder.
" Others have been stationed for above a week on the
ridge of the mountains of Achsa, in order to be at hand to
join the party of the conquerors.
" Those of Collo do not believe that the Bey of Con-
stantine will wait to see the effect of the French cannon.
They say that he had made all his arrangements to retreat
to the south with his principal troops, and that he will not
fights

" The inhabitants of the beylick would in fact prefer
the government of the French to that of the Bey ; persons
of influence do not hesitate to express this opinion ; they
are constantly asking for news."—Le Commerce.
