GERMAN PAPERS.

PRAG ux, Nov. 25.—Important historical information
respecting the celebrated proceedings against the renowned
Wallenstein, Duke of Friedland, will probably be brought
to light, and which will greatly soften, if not wholly
refute as groundless, the charge of high treason against
the great commander. His Highness the Prince of Win.
deschgratz, has been to institute an inquiry in order to
prove the innocence of the Duke of Friedland. From
what we can learn this has succeeded, to a certain
degree, as nothing can be discovered in the papers of
the Duke in the imperial archives from which
legal proof of the accusation of high treason can be
deduced. The principal documents by which Count
Piccoliminie endeavoured to prove the treason, are said to
have been laid before the Supreme Tribunal in copies only,
and that there is no trace of the orginals, which, how.
ever, would be necessary for a legal proof of the fact.
It is thought now that the justice of our Sovereign will
order a general investigation of this interesting subject, in
order to re-establish the honour of the name of Friedland,
and to lead to the restoration of the confiscated estates
to the descendants of that illustrious man.

For some time past the number of the C rusts here
has increased, but there are no distinguished per.
sons among them. In the Carlist circles extracts
are shown of memoirs which a celebrated French
Marshal is said to intend to publish shortly. They are
said to be interesting, and to treat chiefly of the time of the
restoratio❑ and the overthrow of the older branch of the
Bourbons. They are reported to contain much informa-
tion respecting intrigues carried on against the exiled Royal
Family by their supposed friends and adherents.
VIENNA, Nov. 27.—Her Royal Highness the Duchess
of Berry has had a tour at Gratz, where she now is for
six months. A Russian courier has been despatched to
St. Petersburgh, and a French to Paris.

' ST. PETEaszniio H.—An ukase has been published,
which the priests of all religions are commanded to read to
their congregations, in which the Autocrat enjoins the
people not to put faith in the reports spread by evil dis-
posed persons relative to the pretended emancipation of the
serfs. It is declared therein, that servitude neither can
nor ought to be abolished ; that this system, besides, is
the most advantageous for the people, whom it secures
from indigence. The accustomed menaces follow against
the persons who may continue to propagate reports so pre-
judicial to the public tranquillity and to the dignity of the
Sovereign.
BERLIN, Nov. 27.—The bulletin of the laws published
to-day contains the following Cabinet order addressed to the
Minister of State,Van Schucktnann,under date of 18th Nov.
" On your report of the 16th inst., I hereby ordain, that
the changes in the tariff of customs, of 30th October,
1831, which are the consequence of the conven-
tions with other States for the adoption of a
uniform tariff and commercial system, shall be made
public and carried into effect on the Ist of January, 1834.
/Prom that day forward, as the immediate consequence of
the conventions, the levy of the import duties on goods
from the States included in the convention to the Prussian
dominions, the export duty on goods going to those States,
and lastly, the transit duty on goods going to or coming
from foreign countries, and passing through the said States,
shall cease. As the publication of the convention could
not take place earlier, it is necessary to make in this case
an exception to the rule by which changes in the tariff
ought to be announced eight weeks before they take place,
which, in the present instance, however, may be justified
by the advantages which the trade and manufactures of the
people will derive from these treaties, by the extension of
a free market, and by the circumstance that, most of the
changes that are made in single articles of the tariffeonsist
in a diminution of the duties hitherto taken.

ROYAL OBSERVATORY.

TRIAL OF CHRONOMETERS.

On the 3tlth of November closed the eleventh annual
trial of chronometers, under the immediate attention of the
Astronomer Royal, when only two premiums were awarded,
neither of the two chronometers having made a variation of
one second, on an average daily rate, during the whole
year. One of the successful competitors, Mr. Webster,
of Cornbill, had on the two preceding years gained one
of the three premiums given by the Lords of the Admi-
ralty ; his chronometer, in the year 1831, No. 685, hav-
ing made no greater variation than eighty-nine hundredths
of a second in twelve months, and his chronometer, No.
675, in the year 1832, the extreme variation did not
exceed eighty-six hundredths of a second. Fifty-seven
chronometers were deposited for trial on the Ist of Decem-
ber last year at the Royal Observatory, their rates were
noted daily, and published monthly ; they were withdrawn
by the several toasters as they exceeded the prescribed
limits of variation. On the first of last month only ten
remanied for competition ; at the close of the month, two
preminms were awarded.
I❑ the year 1821, the Government, aware of the ad-
vantages that would result in the improvement of chro-
nometers, invited the several makers to deposit two each
at the Royal Observatory, in a department appropriated
for the purpose of trial for one year, which annual trial
has since been continued. 'I he advantages resulting from
this stimulus is not confined to the chronometer alone, but
is evidenced in every department i❑ the manufacture of
watches, and we now find to what accuracy the respective
makers have arrived in their performances, when compared
with a few years since, and at a very considerable reduc-
tion in price.

LONDON,
MONDAY EVENING, DECENIBER 9, 1833.

We promised on Saturday, at the conclusion
of the trial in the Court of King's Bench, to
give a contradiction to the calumnies spoken by
P. GRANT on that occasion. In order
that the refutation of these calumnies might be
as widely circulated as the libels, we addressed
the following statement to our Morning Con-
temporaries, two of whom, the Times and
Morning Advertiser, with a generous spirit
of candour and impartiality, have inserted the
communication, for which we return them our
best thanks. We presume that the press of
matter has alone delayed the other papers,
till to-morrow, from acting in the same spirit
of fair play ; for those, whether in town or coun-
try, who have unintentionally given circulation
to the calumnies cannot but wish for an opportu-
nity of doing justice by giving currency to their
contradiction :
TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.

Slo.,—As personal character is dear to every man, may
I solicit, as a matter of public justice, a small space in
your columns, in vindication of myself from the asser-
tions made by Mr. Patrick Grant with reference to me
yesterday in the Court of King's Bench ? I would not
have asked this favour, but that I could nut reply to them
in Court, being no party to the information against the
defendants, not one of whorls, either by themselves or
their Counsel, ventured to cross-examine me.
It is unfortunately too notorious that differences have
long existed between Mr. P. Grant and myself. As these
related chiefly to what may be considered private matters,
I had no wish to obtrude myself on the public merely to
deny false statements which Mr. Grant found it convenient
to publish against me in ref,renes to The Sun newspaper.
But as, after a lapse of two years, during which these
falsehoods have been sedulously circulated in every
variety of form and malignity, without eliciting any reply
from me, Mr. Grant, presuming on my forbearance,
has deemed it safe to re-assert them in a Court of Justice,
I cannot but think that my continuing any longer silent
may be construed into an admission of their correctness,
and I therefore request, in fairness, the publication of the
following answer :
Mr. Grant has stated in his pamphlet, and re-asserted
in his speech, that " he found me and my family in rags—
that he rescued me from penury—and raised rue from a
state of abject destitution, to a situation of considerable
eminence and emolument, namely, the Editorship and Ma•
nagement of The Sun newspaper;—that he gave me the
whole administration and outlay of sums amounting to be-
tween 10,0001. and 15,0001., and that for such kindness
I had requited him by turning him out of his property—
in short, that I had swindled arid robbed him." In ano-
ther plate he estimates the property embarked at 20,0001.
Now these are very grave charges, if true ; but they
are false. I was neither in. poverty nor rags when Mr.
Grant sought me—l did not seek him. My talents, such
as they were, recommended me to his attention in prefe-
rence to several others with whom he was then in treaty.
I was in the receipt of upwards of 3001. a year at the time
of being first introduced to Mr. Grant, and had previously
conducted a Sunday paper (the Representative), of which
I was half proprietor. Before I entered on the duties of
the situation I was invited to his table repeatedly ; and
was such behaviour, on Mr. Grant's part, consonant with
his notions of propriety, if I were in rags ? Then, as to
the large expenditure, though I conducted the paper, I
had not the charge of the money until I became a partner;
nor did Mr. Grant expend 20,0001., nor even 15,0001.
on the paper, as these items will show.
In March 1826 Mr. Grant purchased The Sun for
500 guineas. From that period till the 12th Januarys
1828, there were expended (including the purchase-
money) 9,2521. Os. 11d., which amount is copied from
the regular account book kept by Mr. Waller Clifton, late
Secretary to the Victualling-office, who assisted in the
Paper, acted as Mr. Grant's co-proprietor, and paid the
moneys weekly up to that time, when he and Mr. Grant
separated.

10s. 3d., which is the whole amount of money advanced
by Mr. Grant, or expended on The Sun newspaper till
I became a partner. If interest be charged on the above
capital, it will not amount altogether to more than about
12,0001., and here is the utmost limit of the fortune em-
barked.
Mr. Grant has stated that only 6,000/. had been proved
under the Commission ; but the schedule of his debts, in
his own handwriting, makes the amount about 15,090/.
Now, according to his own showing, his speculation in
The Sun could not have been the sole cause of his mis-
fortune. But I abstain from stating more than is neces-
sary for my own justification.
The daily circulation of the paper was raised by my
management from 450 to about 1,800, and, subsequently
to his retirement, to upwards of 3,000.

Mr. Grant sold to me a quarter of the paper, for which

I paid him 2,000/. He even offered me a fifth part of it
gratuitously, " in consideration of my services".--hut that
I declined, choosing rather to pay a fair proportion of the
loss incurred. From the period of nay becoming partner
the whole charge and management of the paper devolved
upon me, Mr. Grant never having advanced one shilling
afterwards.

Mr. Grant's private embarrassments compelled Mtn, i❑
1829, to leave England, by the advice of his friends and
relatives, in order to afford time to arrange with his cre-
ditors. Some were refractory, owing to his high con-
nections, F.et, arrangement was found impracticable. During
his absensPe strongly urged his relatives to purchase his
shares fort •benefit of his family : the idea was entertained
for a time, but it was at length abandoned—partly from Mr.
Grant's own obstinacy—partly from motives of delicacy on
the part of his relatives—and partly from the amount of
his debts. For upwards of a year I succeeded in prevail-
ing on Mr. Alderman Winchester and Mr. Hill (the latter
of whom actually sent an execution into the house on ac-
count of Mr. Grant's private debts), to refrain from car-
lying their threats of bankruptcy into effect ; but vexed
at repeated delays, and the subsequent determination of
Mr. Grant's relatives to " let things take their course,"
Mr. Winchester struck a docquet against Mr. Grant.
When the day fur choosing assignees was fixed, such
was my solicitude in the matter that I wrote to Mr.
Thornton, then residing at Brighton, to come to town,
in order that, being a private friend of the family, he
might be chosen assignee and protect their interests.

When the shares of the paper were for sale Mr. Grant
wished me to allow him to purchase them for 6,0001. To
this I objected, for two reasons, that he had not the
means ; and if he bad the means, that he ought to have
paid Mr. Winchester's debt, and so have avoided a bank-
ruptcy. Moreover, I found, from several circumstances,
that his habits rendered it unsafe for me, then, to be again
connected with him. Hence the whole cause of his hos-
tility towards me.
In March, 1832, Mr. Grant started the True Sun,
having previously published a variety of libels, which he
has often repeated in that paper. It is not my purpose
to recriminate on Mr. Grant by following his example ;
but he has stated that the paper was started '‘ as the most
direct means of doing justice to himself and to others."
Now, his shares and interest in The Sun then belonged
to his creditors, and in endeavouring to withdraw the sub-
scribers of The Sun to the True Sun, he was injuring
the property of his creditors—a❑ odd way of doing them
justice.
Mr. Grant resorted to every species of charge against
me. My accounts were false, &c., and yet, after strict
investigation, they stood the ordeal of the Court of Chan-
cery. He tried to dispossess me of the management of
my own property, but failed.
Finally, after having denounced me by the most oppro-
brious terms, mark what follows :

The shares of The Sun were advertised for sale in the
Gazette for the 2d of April, 1833.
On the 20th March, 1833, I received the following
letter from a Mr. Thomas Wilkinson .
Sir,—Though a perfect stranger to you, I take the liberty
of addressing you upon a subject materially affecting your
interests.

Circumstances have given Inc an intimate knowledge of the
firm and promising position that Mr. Grant has attained in his
present undertaking, however visionary it might at one moment
have appeared; I am warranted, therefore, in saying that a
proposition from him ought not to be disregarded. I am pre.
pared to make one on his behalf, and on behalf of those gen-
tlemen who are associated with him in his present undertaking,
relative to the approaching sale of The Sun newspaper, if you
will allow me an interview.

I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
THOMAS WILKINSON.

To Murdo Young, Esq.
To which I returned no answer.

Ou the 22d March, Mr. Wilkinson, and Mr. Westley,
newsvender, Strand, called on me, and made proposi-
tions for joining the True Sun to The Sun, which I, of
course, declined.

On the 24th I received the following letter from Mr.
Grant :

Sir,—Mr. Westley has informed me of what took place at
your interview on Friday.

I can easily understand why you should decline coming to
any decision without consulting your friends, but there is
surely no possible objection to our meeting at once, if you feel
inclined ; you can be noways fettered by merely discussing
what I feel convinced you would regret having rejected un.
heard.

It may not appear very politic to exhibit anxiety for this in.
terview, but having to make up my mind in the course of to.
morrow or next day, upon an advantageous proposition in an.
other quarter, 1 shall do so with less hesitation after having
seen you.

No one is aware of my writing this letter, and, as far as I
am concerned, the very fact of our meeting may be kept an
absolute secret.

I can meet you at the Rainbow C3ffee.house, King-street,
Covent-garden, or any other place which you may prefer, at
three o'clock precisely ; in fact, any hour will suit me from two
to five this afternoon.

I remain, your obedient servant,
March 24, 1833. PATRICK GRANT.
To M. Young, Esq. Envelope, marked " Private."

To which I instantly returned the following answer :

Sir,—Under present cir-umstances, and the recollection of
the past, I feel it impossible tp meet you with any hope of mu.
tual advantage. .

I must, therefore, decline putting you or myself to the un-
pleasant trial of an interview which can only be productive of
painful regrets.

I remain, your, obediently,

M. YOUNG.

On the 2d of April the three-fourth shares of The
Sun were sold by public auction in the Public Office
Court of Chancery, the Master, Sir Giffin Wilson, him-
self presiding, pursuant to the express decree of the Lord
Chancellor.

At that sale I became the purchaser, none of the other
parties who bad made the previous offers having appeared.
This it a simple narrative of facts for the correctness of
which I bold myself responsible.

In our review of Mr. POULETT SCROPE'S
" Principles of Political Economy," we stated
that, although, upon the whole, we should be
well content to see every man in the kingdom
entertaining the opinions he does, there were
certain of his positions we should take a future
opportunity of endeavouring to controvert. At
the present moment, when, at length, the at-
tention of the public is fixed upon the Corn
Laws, with a determination to take, at any rate,
preparatory steps for their revision, no one topic,
out of the many he discusses, will have greater
interest with our readers than that. It is almost need-
less to premise, that Mr. POULETT SCRopE is
decidedly against the principle of the Corn Laws
both on the score of justice and of policy,—that
he wishes to enter upon such a course of
legislation as will ultimately admit all corn, and
immediately corn from our own colonies, free
of any duty imposed for the purposes of exclu-
sion. What we regret to see is that Mr.
SCROPE contemplates injury to the agriculturist
from an immediate repeal of the Corn Laws.
What he says is this—
" It appears that the present duties on wheat have not
prevented the importation since the last alteration of the
corn laws of a quantity equal to oue_twelfth of the entire
consumption of England, and that though the rates of
duty paid have varied from Is. to 285., the average upon
this very large quantity is only 6s. Sd. It would seem
from this that the present rate of duties is not very bur-
densome upon the consumer; and it is doubtful whether
it would be an improvement to exchange this varying duty,
averaging only 6s. Sd., for a fixed duty of more than the

same amount ; while it is certainly- out of all quell
that any proposal fir a lower rate of duty would
listened to at present by the legi.Liture. On this gr°l

L..

we are by no means confident that any great advantage;
to be gained by hastily unsettling the present systeattoy
far as relates to foreign corn. That system having b,
acted on since 1815, has placed the agriculture of ;10
whole island in a false position ; has encouraged the Id
vestment of much capital in the tillage of poor soils, ay
the growth of a large agricultural population upon them
To repeal therefore, or to lower the corn duties Amide%

would do much mischief by throwing a large portioi
the home soils out of cultivation, and of the agricult
labourers cut of work."

He then goes on to enumerate a list
preliminary steps to freedom of trade in dr::
which would almost defer that wished for object
till the Greek calends. As we really belie?°
Mr. SCROPE open to argument, and know 11
to be earnest in his desire to remove the
ing restrictions on the importation of comp
will take the liberty of making a few observaties:
on this paragraph. In the first place we doubtib
fact of a large quantity of poor laud having bee°
taken into corn cultivation since 1515. We hate
not the returns at hand, and therefore cannot gout:
them, but unless our memory greatly deeeivs
us, we saw a document a short time back witch
stated that it was since 1815 that the num't
of Enclosure Bills began to fall off, and the, 11
afford, we think, a tolerably sure index of tP,d
amount of new land brought into cultivatio;
This is negative evidence, but the posits
evidence the other way is still stronger.
is not one, or two, or three, but the whole ul
the witnesses examined before the Agrieulon!
Committee of last session, who state either °
rectly or indirectly that land, of coins'
in a majority of instances the poorest'
has, of late years, been going rapid
out of cultivation. The abuses of the 10141
laws have, no doubt, occasioned this restP
in the case of land even of the best quality, but
t
be the cause what it may, it being admitted that
land both bad and good has gone out of 0111,
vation of late years, it is too much to say that
immediate freedom of trade in food would bef
the cause of throwing much poor land out f),t
cultivation. We endeavoured to prove a
time back that the probable immediate effect
the admission of food from abroad would bel
simply to raise its price there, and thus cone
foreign manufacturers to eat bread at as dear ti
rate as our own. But whether that would be
the only immediate effect of allowing our pope,#
lation to obtain bread at as cheap a rate as ea
sible, or whether, as the author of Englau,
and America" contends, the further effect wall
be forthwith to occasion a fall in the price °
that prime necessary of life, we cannot see 11°0
Mr. SCROPE can reconcile what he says ab°l6
with arguments in a previous part of his voloe.
He contends in several places, and justly c°o
tends, that an importation of corn from abrOor
can only be concurrent with an exportation
manufactures from England, either directly to
the place from whence the corn is brought, Or tb,
some other place, from which gold will be
tained with which to pay for the corn. Pe
payment, at any rate, ultimately takes place
in goods which the landowner of England e3.s,i
not absorb, because lie is already over supplie
with them. As he has no need to take what
the manufacturer has to give, he will not supi'lY
him with the food he wants. What is the con'
sequence ? The manufacturer goes half fed'
he is not able to buy other things as well 115
corn which the agriculturists could supply ; til4
latter falls into difficulties, his labourers go nll,
the parish, he cultivates at a loss, and ultintste I
his land goes out of cultivation altogether.
We would submit to Mr. SCROPE that, be;
sides overlooking the fact of land actually g°l%
out of cultivation at the present moment, he 11%
' not considered one or two effects which Musts
follow an immediate throwing open of our P°r f
to all corn. We mean the rise in the price t't
corn abroad, the consequent discouragera°,4
and difficulties of foreign manufacturers (°°
competing with us chiefly by means of th
eir
cheap food), the necessary prosperity of too
own manufactures, and the demand which 0110
forthwith arise for land for all the purposes 5.5
luminously dwelt upon in the work to which 's
have so often alluded. Till we have seen some
answer given to the arguments founded upon the
above circumstances, we must remain of opinion
that the landowners would certainly not be 1
jured, although they might probably benefit b 1
an immediate concession of the consumer 6
right not to be starved into paying a high Price
for food.

German Papers mention that an Ukase has
been published at St. Petersburgh, in ‘‘‘ hich the
autocrat enjoins the people not to put faith 1°
the reports spread by evil disposed persons, re'
lative to the pretended emancipation of the serfs'
The usual menaces are held forth against those
who continue to spread reports so prejudiaa
to the public tranquillity and dignity of the
Sovereign.

We call attention to a letter of Sir PETER
LAURIE, in another column, in answer to thc
attack made upon him by the Court of Alder'
men in the guise of a vote of thanks for tho
conduct he has pursued during his mavoralti'
A few days back there appeared in The Suit oc°
advertisements, one being a vote of thanks to
Sir PETER by the Court of Common Council,
and the other a vote of thanks to himlby the
Court
of Aldermen. The first was cordial, sincere,
and unreserved ; the second almost amounted to
a vote of censure, for it blamed Sir PETER for
his conduct in examining prisoners charged with
criminal offences,—no unimportant part of his
duty we should have thought. The mighty
offence of which the late Lord Mayor wa4
guilty was believing a man when he declared
himself guilty, without thinking it necessary to.
amuse Attorneys and Counsel by proving his
guilt—secundunt artens !

The French Papers of Saturday and the
Gazette de France and Messager des Chain'
ores of yesterday's date, contain much raised-,
laneous matter, but little or no intelligence of
either importance or novelty. The news from
Spain contained in these papers comes down t°
the 27th ult. inclusive, up to which period.
