Lodge of the Thfee Globes," are corporate bodies,
recognised and allowed by the State, the law itself
having fixed the age necessary for candidates for
admission.—Frederick the Great was himself
a Freemason, and gave to the Lodges several
letters of protection ; and the Elector of Hesse
has very lately allowed the restoration of Free-
masonry in his dominions. It is therefore quite
beyond the bounds of probability, at least in
Northern Germany, in Prussia, that allowed and
recognised Freemasonry, as an institution fur the
promotion of beneficence and humanity, should
be deprived of a protection of which it has never
shewn itself to be unworthy.
It is a happy phenomenon in our times, that in
Prussia the public revenues and expenditure are
now accurately determined and fixed at 50 mil-
lions of dollars. The Army costs 22 millions,
which is a reduction of two millions, and
it is hoped a great farther saving will be
effected. The English Army, which, though dis-
tributed over all parts of the globe, is not more
numerous than the Prussian, costs nearly thrice as
on account of the high prices of provi-
sions, &c. In the Electorate of Hesse the Army
is reduced from 20,000 to 8,000, by which large
sums are saved. It is to be hoped and expected
that in future the public revenue and expenditure
will be every where so regulated, that the latter
may not exceed the former, as is now happily
effected in Prussia.—(Nuremburgli Correspun-
dent, Sept. 18.)

BRUSSELS, SE,P T. 22.—A British Cabinet Messenger pass-
ed through this city last night on his way from Vienna to Lon-
don. A Russian courier, -from London to Vienan, has also
passed through.
His Royal Highness Prince Augustus of Prussia arrived at
Frankfort on the 16th. Letters from that city say, that in
consequence of a request made to the King of Prussia by
Prince Hardenburg, the Chancellor of State, his Majesty has
been pleased to dispense with the attendance of that Minister
at the Congress of Verona.
The accounts from Rome say that Cardinal Gonsalvi, Secre-
tary of State to his Holiness, has lately had several cmfe-
rences, and that it is supposed he is on the point of receiving
his .final instructions previous to his departure to represent his
Holiness at the Congress of Verona.
SEPTEMBER 22.—1 t is positively affirmed, that the Aus-
trian and Ehglish Ministers at Constantinople have again
strongly urged the Porte to send an Ambassador to some fron.
tier town, to confer with a Russian Minister.
ITALY, SEPT. B.—M. de Pouqueville, the Consul of France,
in the Morea, arrived on the 6th at Milan, from Florence.—
The noble conduct of this faithful and intrepid servant of his
Most Christian Majesty has obtained him the most flattering
reception from the Ministers, Ambassadors, and Consuls of
his Majesty at Naples, Florence, and Milan. The Pope hav-
ing met him at the Villa Albani, deigned to honour with his
benediction the preserver of so many thousands of Christians ;
and it is not doubted that, if his voice could be heard at the
Congress of Verona, it would induce the Sovereigns to interest
themselves in the cause of the Greeks. M. Pouqueville is said
to be going to Marseilles.
