GERMAN PAPERS.

PRUSSIAN FRONTIERS, AUG. 29.—They seem to attach
great importance in England to the correspondence of
Don Miguel's agents found at Lisbon, and publish it with
much parade. The Globe makes use of it to accuse the
Allied Powers of duplicity, though they do not in any
respect deserve this reproach, but have at times gone
openly to work, and acted in conformity with their de-
claration. The same cannot be unreservedly said of the
English Government, for while at Berlin, Petersburgh,
and Vienna, no secret was made that a pure monarchical
form of government, represented in the person of Don
Miguel, was believed to be the only one adapted to the
spirit and the manners of the Portuguese nation, and the
opinion was acted on, while it was held out in London
that the same opinions were entertained, Lord Palmerston
was endeavouring, in every conceivable manner, to sup-
port the adversaries of monarchical principles, and allowed
men to he raised for their service without any interrup-
tion. Had England acted with mere frankness the
differences in Portugal would have been amicably adjusted
by the long projected marriage with Donna Maria.
This plan had been resumed before the expedition of
Napier, and it was nearly certain that after the removal of
some incansiderable obstacles, the desired union would
have been effected. But here, as on many other occa-
sions, Lord Palmerston exercised a prejudicial influence,
and thus the plan which had been happily formed, and was
nearly brought to a conclusion, was defeated. As matters
now stand in Portugal, he may, perhaps, find reason to
repent that he has deviated from the views of the powers
in which he pretended to participate, and has brought con-
fusion over a country, in the welfare of which England is
peculiarly interested. It is very probable that Spain
cannot see with indifference the violent reaction of the
liberal Portuguese party on its frontiers, and that it will
be obliged, sooner or later, to take arms in its own de-
fence ; and it is equally probable that the Monarchs of
the East will sympathize with the Spanish Cabinet, as
before, with that of Don Miguel, and will, therefore,
consider of means to check an evil which spreads more and
more. We may, therefore, be certain that the affairs of
Portugal will be a principal subject of the Conference in
Bohemia.

TRIESTE, SEPT. 3.—Among the persons who have re-
turned from Greece is M. Peter Hesse, the painter. He
has had a most tedious passage. He was 30 days on the
voyage only to Zante, where he left Count Saporta, his
fellow-traveller, who was taken ill ; but we hear that he
has recovered under the care of an able physician, whom
King Otho sent with him, and that he went to Corfu,
whence he has since gone to Ancona ; there he hopes to
have his term of quarantine shortened, a hope which M.
Hesse bad in vain flattered himself with here.

The latest accounts say that Tricufi's administration, in
consequence of the many complaints made of it, had been
dissolved, and succeeded by a new ministry ; but we have
no confirmation of this news, which, however, from all
that we learn from that country, is not improbable.

COLOGNE, SEPT. 3.—We hear that soon after the end
of the reviews at Aladgeburg a change will be made in the
stations of the troops, in consequence of which the Polish
regiments that have hitherto formed part of the corps on
the Rhine will be exchanged for others of the 4th corps of
the army. It is, we know, asserted in some quarters,
that in consequence of these movements the number of the
troops in the Rhenish provinces will be augmented, but
there is nothing to support this assertion so long as the
regiments cannot be specified which are to take the place
of those that are withdrawn.—Franlefortrapers, Sept.lo.
FROM THE ODER, SEPT. 3.—The Polish question was
decided by the sword two years ago in favour of Russia. The
two States ‘ahich, fol!owing, perhaps, rather the impulse of
popular opinion than their own inclinations, endeavoured
by diplomatic intervention to do something for Poland, have
not thought fit to support this intervention by more energetic
measures; expressions of sympathy with the heroic Poles
—assurances that every endeavour had bee❑ made in
their favour by friendly mediation, and would continue to
be made ; this was all that could from time to time be ex•
tracted from the Ministecs of both countries by Parlia-
mentary motions, and the eyes of the public began to tur❑
away tired of the monotonous spectacle, when an official
article of the Journal of St. Petersburg has given fresh
interest to the Polish question. This article may at the
present moment be considered, without hesitation, as a
political event of great importance. Besides its
coming from a Cabinet, which has at all times been very
sparing of official declarations of this kind, it is highly
remarkable on account of its tenor. Fcr the first time a
peculiar distinct relation to Poland, different from that of
the rest of Europe, is claimed for the three powers, Russia,
Prussia, and Austria, as possessors of the former Kingdom
of Roland ; for the first, all control and interference with
respect to the internal organization and administration of
the Polish province, is clearly and publicly denied to all
the other parties to the treaties of Vienna, a declaration
which is as important in itself as it must be fruitful in
consequences, and which fully justifies our callinz it a
political event. (After a long dissertation on probabilities,
the article concludes that war is:not to he apprehended.)—
Nuremberg Correspondent, Sept. 9.

In The Sun of Friday last weinserted, under
the head of " Surrey Sessions," a case of horse-stealing
by a man named Hancock ; the prisoner was found guilty
under the direction of the Chairman (R. Hedger, Esq.)
and sentenced to be transported for the term of his natural
life. On Saturday Mr. Mahon, the prisoner's counsel,
accompanied by Mr. Warner, had an interview with the
authorities at the Home-office, when the Learned Counsel
submitted that, as the horse bad been purchased by the
prisoner and two sovereigns paid as an earnest, and a
receipt given for that sum, and a subsequent agreement to
receive the remaining 101. at a certain time, it was not
tberefore a case of feloniously stealing, and that the con-
viction and sentence were consequently illegal. The result
of the application was, that the sentence should not be
carried into effect until the whole matter had been again
reviewed, and the witnesses on the part of the prosecutor
and prisoner re-examined.
The old custom in Lower Brittany of expend-
ing immense sums on marriage feasts is still kept up.
The Morlaix Journal gives an account of a recent wedding
at which 4,000 pounds of bread and seven casks of wine
were consumed, besides the other provisions.

It has been a subject of much comment in the
higher circles that, although the Foreign Ambassadors and
their ladies received invitations to be present at the en-
tertainments given by their Majesties at Windsor Castle to
the young Queen of Pot tugal and the Duchess of Bra-
gaoza, not one of them was present. It is even added,
that notes of invitation to the ladies were in Queen Ade-
laide's own hand-writing.
THE LATE SMUGGLING TRANSACTION.
DOVER, SEPT. 12.—This day, by order of the Board of
Customs, the 26 packages directed for the Prince de
TALLEYRAND, supposed to contain silks, silk ribbons,
blond laces, and Chantil:y veils, were despatched from the
Custom-house at this port to the King's warehouse, Lon-
don, in one large case, weighing upwards of two cwt., for
the purpose of affording Prince de TALLEYRAND an in-
spection of the (hand-writing and superscriptions of the
several packages, and also the seals impressed thereon, to
the end that his Excellency may be enabled to discover, if
possible, the authors of this daring fraud.,

LONDON,
MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 16, 1833.

The Times Paris Correspondent of this
morning mentions, on the authority of the
Augsburg Gazette, that the famous interview
—of which we have heard so much for the
last few weeks—between the three Sovereigns,
is to take place at Glatz, a small town in Bo-
hemia, whither the Emperor of AUSTRIA has,
it seems, already proceeded. Our Contem-
porary adds, that a letter from Berlin mentions
that the meeting is a preliminary one, which is to
have for its ulterior object the counteracting
of the influence which England and France con-
jointly may have it in their power to exercise
over the affairs of Europe. We look on this
intended meeting of the Despots as the little
black speck on the horizon's verge, that betokens
the approaching hurricane. The two Great
Powers, of Freedom on the one hand, and
Despotism on the other, are, after having so
long grounded their arms, beginning at length
to call out the muster-roll, marshal their forces,
and get themselves into something like fighting
trim, previous to the commencement of the
grand campaign, which, so long delayed,
can not now be far distant. Russia, as the
great leader of the despotic movement, no doubt
thinks that by the settlement of Poland and
Turkey, she is fully prepared for all emergencies;
but, like most subtle diplomatists, she will find
herself outwitted. The spirit of Poland, like the
daughter of JAIRUS, "is not dead, but sleepeth,"
and ready to wake up from her trance at the sound
of the first gun fired in Europe. If there be one
Power more than another likely to lose all
by a war, Russia is that one. Her subordinate
provinces such as Finland, Poland, the Crimea,
and a vast portion of those situated among the
Caucasus, and which skirt the Black Sea, are,
and always have been since their incorporation
with Russia, in a most disorganized, discontented
condition, and ready to avail themselves of the
first opportunity of recovering, at least, a partial
independence. Russia, in fact, is placed alto-
gether in a false position. She must keep
moving" to satisfy the insatiable ambition of her
old noblesse ; she must keep still if she would
desire to prevent her unwieldy, ill-cemented
dominions from tumbling into a thousand pieces.

It is reported in the French Papers of Satur-
day, that the Romagna is to be entirely occupied
by Austrian troops.

German Papers contain no news of moment.
The Nuremburg Correspondent, speaking of
the official reply of the Cabinet of St. Peters-
burgh, to the discussions in France and Eng-
land on the subject of Poland, calls it « a poli-
tical event of great importance," and adds, that
though the political horizon is just at present
somewhat clouded, yet that war is not to be
apprehended.

It will be seen in another part of The Sun
that on the arrival of the Queen of PORTUGAL
and the Duchess of BRAGANZA at Chertsey, on
Saturday, Mr. BRISCOE, M.P., embraced the

opportunity of presenting her MAJESTY with a
copy of " De Lolme on the Constitution of
England," together with a suitable address. We
have no doubt that she will duly appreciate the
contents of a work of no ordinary use to a
youthful Monarch, who has before her the
experience of absolutism and tyranny. The work
itself is full of close and able reasoning, and its
being recommended to her IVIAJEsTi's perusal
by a member of the British Legislature, will
doubtless render the subject more gratifying to
her.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Hobart Town papers to the 4th May, Halifax to the
23d August, Pictou to the 20th August, and Launceston
to the 2,1 May, have been received at the North and
South American Coffee house.

(From the Tasmanian of the 3d May.),

His Excellency the Lieut.-Governor returned to town
on Friday last, and we are happy to learn that decided
marks of improvement have taken place throughout the
colony. _ _

(From the Halifax Papers.)
Prince Edward's Island, Friday and Saturday night last,
wind N. was visited by one of the most tremendous
and destructive storms, accompanied by continual rains, ever
witnessed on this island. Its ravages are to be seen in
every direction. The new episcopal church has been razed
to the ground. The gardens and fields have suffered
materially; the distress among the shipping on the north
aide of the island is very great.
We are up to the present time without any direct ar-
rivals from Portugal, but it is understood that Government
have received overland despatches, which up to the pre-
sent hour have not transpired. The Madrid accounts of
the Bth of September state that they have received news
from Lisbon to the let of September, by which it appears
that Don Miguel's Head Quarters were at Torres Vedras
on the 28th of August, and that Villa Flor had fallen back
on Lisbon with his troops, and his Head Quarters
were at Lumiar. The Miguelite army occupied
Ciutra on one side, and Leiria on the other,
while Don Pedro placed the greatest reliance on the forti-
fications which were erecting round Lisbon. The troops
coming from Oporto, with the reinforcements lately re-
ceived, amounted to 8,000 men, and the militia compelled
to serve were about 6,000. Most of the convents along
the line of defence have been converted into barracks for
soldiers.
