and the 1,100 hectares of land, meadow, forest,
&c., which the Government desired the Legisla-
ture to purchase, as the agricultural depot for
able-bodied mendicants. Yesterday morning two young
men, coming from Flanders, arrived near the forest of
La Cambre ; they both had pocket pistols. Soon after-
wards two shots were heard, the cause of which was
soon known. The young men, tired of life, had
committed suicide; or rather, as appeared from a note
found upon them, they had agreed to shoot each other.
One was killed on the spot, the other expired two hours
afterwards.

BRUNSWICK, JULY s.—According to accounts received
here from London, there- is no doubt that our former
Duke, Charles, has purchased the " German London
Journal," for 6,000 or 7,000 dollars, and takes a very
active part in the composition of it. Some-numbers have
been received here, and we read them with much interest,
as they contain various articles on our situation. In one
of the latest numbers, we see that Duke Charles must
have renounced all thought of recovery of possession of
our Duchy by force of arms; a notion which it is well
known he had entertained. Many readers, doubtless,
remember that, about ten years ago, he made prepara-
tions in France, had uniforms got ready, and appointed
a Pole to the command of his troops. The expedition
was not, however, undertaken. There was, in fact, no
prospect whatever of success ; and if we are mis-
taken the Duke was involved in a vexatious and expen-
sive law suit. The uniforms have been lying for some
time in London, and the Duke is now desirous of getting
rid of them. An advertisement in the German London
Journal announces that 6,000 complete uniforms, quite
new, are deposited at the office, and are to be sold for

12,0001. sterling.
POLISH FRONTIERS,JUN'E27.—The term expiring July
1, when, according to the ukase, the Jews of the king-
dom were to lay aside their Jewish costumes, have been
prolonged by the Prince Governor till the Ist of October
next. The Ist of October is the next day. after the great
festival of the atonement of the Jews, on which they
were to wash away their sins; and therefore it is pecu-
liarly proper to put on new clothes. The Prince
Governor is said to have bad in view only the great dis-

suspicious persons to continue to wear the Jewish cos-
tumes, so that Galicean Jews, if they come into the
kingdom, must lay aside the Jewish dress. Orders are
said to be given to treat Poles, who are brought in pri-
soners, with greater mildness; and we hear no more of
any executions. The Emperor is said to have made
himself very popular on his late visit to Warsaw, by
visiting the exhibitions and other places in plain clothes
and without any attendants.
ST. PETERSBURG. JUNE 30.—His Royal Highness the
Crown Prince of Wurtemburg arrived the evening be-
fore yesterday in l'eterhof on board the Russian steamer
Kamtschatka' which was sent to Lubeck to meet him.
The Imperial family have resided constantly at Peter-
hof since their last visit to the capital. Nothing, cer-
tain is known to the public respecting the celebration of
the marriage.
WARSAW, JUNE 26.—We must correct a statement
which has lately been copied from the English journals
into almost all the journals of the continent, and it was
affirmed that the cholera was so extensive and fatal in
Posen, that a third part of the population of Medschid
had been carried off by it. Some truth there cer-
tainly is in this statement; but it occurred not last year
—but in the year 1832.
PosEN, JUNE 29.—A strange report is in circulation
here, which is spread with an appearance of design.
It is stated " that the Emperor Nicholas means to resign
in favour of his son, and to take on himself the govern-
ment of Poland, which shall be bounded by the Oder
and the Bug. The strangest thing however is, that this
fable is believed.

AQUATICS.
BANKSIDE REGATTA.
This event yesterday exhibited a novel feature, the com-
petitors being confined to the six oldest watermen and job-
bing lightermen of Baukside, Southwark, who had never be-
fore won the boat annually given by the residents of the
Clink Liberty and its vicinity. The idea is good, and some
of the old ones, who would never by any sort of chance have
had the slightest opportunity of achieving a victory with the
more juvenile, were fairly pitted to tight their battles o'er
again. It was the 28th contest, and great as is generally
the assemblage at the place,. it far exceeded anything we
have ever before witnessed; many, indeed, with a desire to
obtain a view of any part of the race, having chosen perilous
positions, from which they ought to have been dislodged by
the police. Independently of the first prize, a new boat,
there was a purse of sovereigns for division amongst the
others, and to defray necessary expenses. The race was in
four heats.
