A letter from Luxemburg of the filth sa s : —Mr. Ser-
ves, a surveyor, has just received orders t pro-eed to-morrow
(Friday) to the forest of Grunenwald, h order to measure
the portion of the forest in which the Grand Duke intends to
hare the timber felled. This news comes from a source that
may be depended upon. Thus, while our Go vernment loses
its time in negociating, the Grand Duke, supi\orted by the
Confederation, proceeds to the first act of taking p -*session
of the territory of Luxemburg. It is repo..tcd at Arlo.", that
the Prussians send frequent patrols into the (,',rest of Gummi-
wald, doubtless for the purpose of removing bvforehand
ever may be an obstacle to the proposed felling o f the timber
Dsc. 18.—The courier who was sent to London with
dispatches relative to ti.e affair of the f. rist of G.-unenwald,
returned the day before yesterday, in the mornii,g• `no
a lswcra hic't he has Lrou.;lo, as well as those recei‘ ed from
Pcoiq, were the subject of the deliberkions of the Cabinet
Council held at the Palace the day before yesterday. .it is
said that the answers leave no doubt of the responsibility of
England and France to terminate this affair amicably. It
dlso said that answers have arrived from Frankfort, in which
the German Diet declares itself incompetent to interfere,
having taken no part eithi:r in the conferences at London or in
the treaty of May 21, the federal compact imposing on it the duty
of supporting the measures of conservation decreed by one of
the members of the Confederation.
It is said that either to-day or to-morrow our Ministers will
make a diplomatic communication to the Chamb,7rs.
P. S.--A QUARTIR BEFORE Fouß O'CLOCK.—.An express
from Arlon has just arrived at the Post-office, with very
pressing dispatches to the Minister of War.
Last night the weather was horrible ; the wind was ex-
tremely stormy, and we shall doubtless have to deplore new
disasters, both by sea and land. In several parts of the city,
many windows were broken, a quantity of tiles, and even
chimneys, thrown down by this hurricane.
The Chamber of Representatives, in the sitting of the 16th„
adopted, by a majority of 64 to 1, the Budget of Ways and
Means. It then dist.issed the Budget of the Department
of Police, which was agreed to by 148 to 6. On the
18th it agreed unanimously to the project of law on
tolls, and then proceeded to that on the law respecting
sugars. The debate which ensl,:d, but was not concluded,
fills two columns of the Moniteur,
PRUSSIA. —The editor of the Allgenteine Zeitung is requested
to insert the following declaration ;—" For testimony of the
truth, I hereby publicly declare that in a letter to his Biel-
lency the Minister of State, Von Allenstein, dated Munster,
September 20, 1837, I expressly stated the wish that legal
validity might be given, by promulgation, to the .Papal Brief
issued against the system and the works of Professor. Hermes,
adding that as both parties mean well to the doctrines of the
Church, the desired concord will be the sooner restored, and•
the guardians of the sacred doctrine be relieved from all appre-
hension.

VIENNA, DEC. 9.—Official accounts up to the 27th of last
month, have been received to-day from Odessa. They bring
consolatory intelligence, that from the 17th to the 27th of last
month, not a single additional case of plague had occurred,
either in the city or the suburbs, and consequently the dis-
order was to be considered as already terminated. It is true
that, notwithstanding this joyful circumstance, no change had
been made in measures of precaution, especially as to pre-
venting all communications with Odessa from other
parts. Some relaxations of them, had, however, taken
place in the town itself. The reports that have been
some days in circulation of an alleged alarming increase of the
disorder, and of its approach to the Austrian frontiers, aro
proved by these and other accounts to be absolute falsehoods.
Neither out of Odessa, nor still less near to our frontiers, or
even within them, has there been a single suspicious case, and
these reports have doubtless originated solely in the precau-
tions ordered on the frontiers, or the wicked inventions of spe-

culators.
His Imperial Highness the Archduke has not yet returned,
and will probably not be here before the end of the month, as
he intended to spend some weeks with his family in the re-
tirement of one of his estates.

The Queen has just made for her own use the
collars of the four orders of Knighthood, of which her Ma-
jesty is Sovereign : viz., the St. George (gartei), the Bath,
St. Andrew, and St. Patrick. They are made smaller than
those usually worn by the Knights. The jewel of each order
her Majesty has set in precious stones. The cost of a 'collar
of the order of the garter is about 8001. ; the rest are not so
elaborate.— Cheltenham Looker-on.
His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, who, it
rejoices us to be able to state, has recovered from the effects
of the accident which occurred to him on the day of pre-

old friend and fellow-patriot, the Earl of Leicester, at Holk-

Pimlico, and during the momentary absence of a servant
made off with a new invisible green great-coat (believed to
have a rule in the pocket) and a youth's dark olive camlet
cloak, which had the name " Grove" under the collar. On
the same evening the house of Mr. Good, 5, Duke's-row,
Pimlico, %‘r,s enteud with false keys, and robbed of various

GREAT CRUELTY TO A HORSE,
lion. Secretary of the " Animals' Friend Society" last week
charged the driver of Messrs. Perceval and Smythe'g coal
waggon with having greatly ill-treated one of the horses,
which was diseased and broken-winded, and was employed
with only two other horses to draw a waggon-load of coals,
while the driver cruelly lashed the poor annual, v hich could
scarcely move, and was rantillg and bleeding out of its nose.
A farrier having been called, said it was oning to its being
over worked ; this Mr. Smythe denied, and said that the
horse could do a great deal more. Mr. Train fined the
defendant only 53. b:sides the cost. Samuel Feuber and
James Duncan were also committed for 1.1 days to prison, on
complaint of one of the Society's officers for cruelty to a
doakey. And at Birmingham r tip Society caused fire
persons to be convicted in the heavieapei.alties by Mr. Beak,

THE ELECTION RtoTs AT HAWICK.—In the

of mobbing and rioting on the Ist and 81h charges, against
James Cairns ; and also, by a majority, Lam!, and Turnbull,
guilty of mobbing and rioting.—Sentence was de:.c...red.
The high wind yesteiday caused considerab!tt da-
mage and confusion among the shining on the Thamer, *td
among the small craft along shore ; its ctr,ots on the ocean,
we fe,r, will prove to have been very disastrous The gale
has continued throughout the night, and the falling missiles
have created great danger.

nimoucced last week, " A new grand historical tragady,
called Etheldaida, Princess of Norwich, or the Kings of Mer-
cia, and East Anglia, or the Wild Womanof Mourhold Heath."

It may be remarked as an unusual conic dance that
the first day of the month and year of 1838 falls upon a ht,n..
day, whilst the month and the same year terminate upon a
Monday a!sl. The pr,sent year (1837) began, snit will also
terminate, upon a Sunday, consequently Divine Service will
have been performed fifty-three times in all the churches and
chapels of Great Britain, and on the first and last day of the
year.
