GERMAN PAPERS.

HANOVER, SEPT. 7.—The Magdeburg Journal
published an article, dated Hanover, Aug. 21, stating
that his Majesty the King had invited Lord Lyndhurst
and other persons. from England to consult with than
on what should be done in case the Queen of England
should die without issue. We should have thought
that the style and spirit of this article sufficiently
characterized it as coming from a quarter, which, with-
out any knowledge of the circumstances and views of
the Court, wished to Say something ill-natured. How
comes it then that the Franconian Mercury calls the
article half', official, and builds upon it all sorts of con-
clusions and reaisOnitgi, which are all incorrect, because
they rest on manifestly false suppositions.
LEIPsIG, SEP.' 17 .—Th2 Leipsig Gazette contains an
official notification of his Majesty's resolution to convoke
the estates of the kingdom, which are to meet Oa the
sth of November next.

St. PETERSEURISH, SEPT. 11.—Our journals contain
besides accounts of the visit of the Emperor to Boro.
dino, the following

IMPERIAL ORDER OF THE DAY TO THE ARMIES.

" Children—You see before you the monument which
bears testimony to the glorious deeds of your com-
rades. Here on this spot the arrogant enemy
fancied twenty-seven years ago, that he could
overcome the Russian army, which defended its
religion, its Czar, and its country. God, pu-
nished his followers, the bones of 'the ' insolent
intruders were scattered from Moscow to the Niemen,
and even entered:Paris. The time is now come to com-
memorate the glory of that great day's deed. May
the memory of the immortal Alexander be endeared to
all ages! By his firm will Russia was saved.. Eternal
honour to our comrades who died the death of heroes,
and may their great deeds serve as an example to us to
the latest posterity. You will always he the hope and
the defence of your Emperor, and of our common
mother Russia.

(The original is signed by his Majesty's own hand.)

" In the camp near the village of Borodino,
August 26 (Sept. 17) 1839."
The Minister of War has also published a rescript
of the Emperor for increasing the pay of all officers
who were present at the battle.

HAM➢URG, SEPT. 19.—The Bishops of the Greek
United Church, i. e. not belonging to the Russian
Church, but united on certain conditions with the
Church of Rome, have petitioned the Emperor to be
admitted with their flocks into the Russian Greek
Church. This petition has, of course, been granted,
and between three and four millions of Russian subjects
are thus withdrawn from the supremacy of the Church
of Rome and placed under the Synod of St. Petersburg.

SPAIN.

A Madrid Journal publishes the following letter,
addressed by the Earl of CLARENDON to General
ALAVA, her Most Catholic Majesty's Ambassador
at the Court of London :

Grosvenor-cresent, Aug. 24.

I regret that absence from London should be the cause
of the unavoidable delay which has taken place in acknor
k
dging the receipt of your letter of
.the 17th, in which,
according to the instructions of
me
hethtel‘finise
Excellency communicated benevolenttro
f State,
yoursentiments
which her Eajesty the Queen Regent has been pleased to
express with reference to the speech lately delivered by me
in the 1-kuse of Lords on the affairs of Spain.
It will be easy for you to be!icve that this communication
has afforded me the greatest satisfaction, and fills me with
gratitude towards her 31hjesty. I have been witness for
nearly six years of the conduct of that august Princess; of
her constant desire to promote rational liberty in Spain, of
her indefatigable zeal and more than maternal solicitude
for the interests of her subjects, and her intrepidity and va-
lour in the midst of circumstances which few Sovereigns have
had to encounter.

I should consider myself most happy in seeing that her
Majesty believes that I have rendered some service to the
cause of the Queen, by endeavouring to disprove the ca-
lumnies and falsehoods which, from so many interested mo-
tives, have been circulated for the purpose of injuring the
Spanish nation.

I confide in your Excellency to have the goodness to
present to her Majesty the expression of my gratitude.
and if it may be permitted, to renew the wishes which I
have so often done in person to her Majesty for triumph of
the cause of the Queen, and its necessary consequences the
prosperity of Spain.
I beg of your Excellency, likewise, to present my col-.
dial thanks to his Excellency Don Evaristo Perez de
Castro, as well as to his colleagues,not only for tha goodness
with which they have received the statement of facts which
I made in the House of Peers, but for the very handsome
manner in which they have expressed their opinion.
I am particularly grateful to your Excellency for the
friendly manner in which you have carried into effect tht,
instructions of your Government : and I yet hope, though
having ceased my official relations with Spain, still to co-
operate with your 'Excellency in promoting the good of a
country which has the advantage of a representative like
yourself, who enjoys the esteem and respect of all classes
in England, whatever be his principles and political opi-
nions. I am, &c. CLARENDON.

PREPARING TO BE BURIED.—An " oddity,'
of the name of Leigh, who for some years filled the
honourable office of master of a flat, navigating the river
Mersey, and by industry, and a rather more than ordinary
share of good luck, has accumulated a small independency,
is spending his latter days in Warrington, in making pre-
parations for his funeral, which, to appearance, seems to
occupy the whole of his thoughts. Some years ago, he
procured a large oak chest, fastening with secret springs,
in which his mortal remains were, after death, to be depo-
sited ; but that idea has now been abandoned, and a new
coffin has been procured. In shape, it is a beautiful
model of a pleasure-yacht, and was built •by Mr.
Clare, of Sankey, of old English oak plank, inch
thick. It is provided with mainsail, foresail, and gaff
topsail, and on the stern is inscribed the name of
" Admiral Nelson." In length it measures 8 feet
two inches, Last week it was brought into Warrington,
mounted on wheels, and accompanied by its owner and a
fiddler, and followed by a crowd of wondering spectators.
Its final destination is fixed upon to be the St. James's
Cemetery, at Liverpool, to which place, on its " bill of
lading" being complete, it is to be drawn by horses, and
followed by a certain number of John Leigh's fellow_
flatmen, for whose refreshment on the way a large cask of
ale is to be placed on the deck of the vessel. John Leigh's
tombstone is also provided. It is ornamented' by the
of which the last four may be
picture of the flat Victory, and asntdarsa. rauthrerierrurdicearrheparreesesounita,

A CHILD TO BE GIVEN AWAY.--An adver-
tisement has appeared two or three times, within as many
days last past, addressed, " To the rich without children,"
any one of whom, on application to the " highly connected"
parents, who are now poor, may have their " nee ly born
infant boy, without the slightest difficulty on their part 1"
The parents will give away their child to any person rich
enough to keep it.
When the smashers enter a shop to pass counter-
feit coin they never have more than one piece, fearful of
being detected. A confederate accompanies them to the
door with counterfeit coin to supply the smasher, but should
the latter be detained the confederate decamps, and, for
fear of being taken, flings the base money through the iron
grating into the sewer. This accounts for the base money
found in sewers, as stated at a late Coroner's inquest.
