Luxemburg. M. Benjamin Constant being lame,
he and his adversary were placed at ten paces
distance on-chairs. They fired together by sig-
. nal, neither was hurt,. and M. Benjamin Constant
appearing satisfied, the seconds decided that the

spew more sang froid. than was manifested by
t-t he Honourable Deputies.—(Quotidienne.)

day' contain nothing new respecting the great
question of war or peace.—(Constitutionnel.)

SWITZERLAND, MAY 30.—Among the subjects
to be discussed by the next Diet is a proposal
for a commercial intercourse, which Mr. Zea, the
Envoy of the new Republic of Columbia, has
made to the Confederation, as he has to other
European States. Mr. Zea goes from Paris to
London, having resided in the former city a con-
siderable time, in pnrsuance of his object. The
French merchants treated him With much regard.
Ife intends to pass the month of August in Swit-
zerland. The Swiss merchants likewise take
great 'interest In the object of his mission, and
.the Swiss Charge d'Affaires at Paris has already
given an answer to his overtures. •
The sect of the 'Methodists had found pretty
numerous adherents in the canton of the Yallais,
hut they have greatly diminished since the go-
vernment has deprived of his office the vicar of
Aubonne, because he endeavoured to propagate
the doctrine of his sect, and has ordered a zeal-
-,ous English woman to quit the canton, who had
taken upon herself to deliver books to young
clergymen, &c.
NUREMBERG, MAY 31.—1 t is affirmed that, ac-
,•cording to accounts which have been received,
the English have taken an active part in the ex-
pedition of the• Capitan Pacha, and chiefly contri-
buted to the reduction of the island of Scio by
the Turks. The occupation of that island by the
,-English seems to be part of the ,plan which that
nation means to follow for the maintenance of
its Levant trade.
We have no news of the great Turkish fleet,
and it is 'feared that the Turks will take ven-
sgeance on the island of Samos also, which would
be a great satisfaction to those who consider the
deliierance .of the long oppressed unhappy
Greeks as a political crime.—(Nuremberg COr-
resl,ondent.)
.•NUitEMBERG, JUNE 1..=--Commercial letters
from the Turkish frontiers, received this day, do
not accord with the pacific news incessantly pub-.
`fished at Vienna. As was before said, only the
_Asiatic troops have quitted the two Principalities
eta repass the Danube, and proceed toSilistria.
The other corps have not. yet moved a step, and
it remains to be seen whether the Russian Cabinet
'will be satisfied with such an arrangement, which
is far from conforinable to its Ultimatum.
IThecountry called Lesser Wallachia is still in
the ~occupation of a considerable body of Otto-
-man troops, a part of the army commanded by
the Pacha of Widdin. At the departure of the
• last Courier these military forces had not yet re-
ceived orders to march on the right 'bank of the
Danube.
AIX-LA-CHAPELLE, JUNE 3.—(Extract from a
..Private Letter.)—Our Correspondent at Berlin
t informs us that Lieutenant-General Count Zie-
then, Commander of the 6th corps of the Prus-
sian army, had arrived in that capital from
,Breslau.
The Courier of the Spanish Cabinet, Juan de
Buergo, arrived at Berlin on the 28th lay from
Madrid, with dispatches for the Chancellor of
State, Prince Hardenburgh.
His Prussian Majesty has bestowed on General
Schmidt, Inspector of Artillery, the Order of
, ,the Red Eagle of the first class. It is reported
that on this occasion there will immediately be a
.grand promotion in the army, and principally in
-the regiments of artillery.
Letters from-Orsowa and Widdin have been
. (received at Warsaw, from which it is suspected
-that a great catastrophe was dreaded at Constan-
tinople. This seems in perfect accordance with
certain reports which have been circulating here
for the last few days.
It would seem as if the partisans of war had
„raised the spirit of revolt among the Janissaries,
in order to make the Divan break off the nego-
, ,ciations with the. Count de Lutzow and Lord
