GERMAN PAPERS.

Mumeir, SEPT. 20.—1 t is reported that our Minister
of Justice, Baron Von Sehrenk, will shortly retire, and
be succeeded by Baron Von Weld en, President of the
High Court of Appeal.
Only 120 men are now wanting to complete the corps
of troops for the Greek service, and these will certainly be
enlisted in three weeks. Some detachments will set out
on the 25th of this month. This column will consist of
706 men, and is to go to Trieste by way of Brannau,
Steyereck, Gratz, and Laibacb, which is 35 leagues
longer than the road by way of Salzburg, and cannot be
favourable to the troops at this season and weather. The
second column, of the same number of men, will set out by
the end of October.
The conduct of this new corps is almost, without ex-
ception, admirable, whatever calumny may say to the
contrary. This may be expected, both from the judicious
conduct of the officers and the composition of the corps ;
since, besides many young men of good education, five-
sixths of the men are artisans of various de,criptions, who
leave their country in hopes of bettering their condition in
Greece.

In enlisting the men, the greatest attention is paid to
good moral character. A bad character will now and
then get in, but such are always punished and expelled
from the corps.
Some students have lately been released from the arrest
under which they were placed for political offences. The
investigations respecting some others continue.
Letters from Augsburg say that the account of the pro-
ceedings of the Court of Assiz,.. at London, published by
Ritter, at Deuxponts, have been seized in the booksellers'
shops at Augsburg. This pamphlet, which was furnished
by permission of the magistrates, and submitted to the
censorship, is publicly sold here by all the booksellers, and
is found in all the reading-rooms.
M. Jaquet, a bookseller of this city, has engaged to ob-
tain direct from Greece, and in as short a time as possible,
the Journal called the Helios, published at Napoli di
Romania, in the Greek and French languages, under the
auspices of the Regency, which treats of political literature
and commerce.—Frankfort Papers, Sept. 23.
CASSEL, SErr. 18.—The Assembly of the States, in its
yesterday's sitting, resolved to renew the accusation against
the Minister of the interior (Hassenpflug) for various alleged
violations of the Constitution. The first application made to
the High Court of Appeal on this subject was rejected by that
Court for a defect of form. This defect Las now been re-
medied, which is comprised in five beads, and is to be re-
ferred to the Court of Appeal.
POLAND.-Felix Bregaz,ki and Silvester Racinski, two
members of the armed band which, on the 3d of May, pe-
❑etrated into the province of Kalisch, under the command
of Faust Salmirski and Leopold Polocki, killtd two de-
fenceless Russian soldiers in Szadeck, and afterwards con-
cealed themselves, have been taken, sentenced to death by
the military tribunal, and shot at Sz 'deck on the 19th of
August, in_ the morning.—Nuremburg Correspondent,
Sept. 22.
VIENNA, SEPT. 19.—Five per Cent. Metalliques, 921;
Four per Cent. 82-11-; Bank Shares, 1193.
The Allgemeine Zeitung and the Austrian Observer
of the 18th have no news from Turkey.

ROYAL VISIT TO SCOTLAND.—The
Elgin Courier, in allusion to the rumour of their Majes-
ties' intended visit to Scotland, either before winter or
early in the spring, states that workmen are already em-
ployed in making preparations at Dalkeith Palace for the
reception of the Royal party.
The Earl of Aberdeen does not quit the
Priory at Stanmore for the north until to-morrow. His
Lordship's baggage was embarked on board the Aberdeen
steam vessel on Saturday last. Lord Haddo, eldest son of
the Noble Earl, a young Nobleman in his 17th year, ac-
companies him to Scotland.
Jamaica Papers to the 17th ult. have been
received via New York. On the 16th Lord Mulgrave
prorogued the General Assembly to the 3d instant, for the
purpose, doubtless, of allowing a sufficient interval for the
members to receive and consider the Slave Abolition Bill.
No mention is made in these Papers of the story respect-
ing Lord Pager.
ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE TWO OF lIIS
MasEsves MINISTERS.—On Monday afternoon, shortly
after the guests had sat down to the agricultural dinner in
Mr. Lucas's Repository, a person named John Griffith
Evans presented himself for admittance at the side door,
which leads from the yard to the Repository, and was
then open, almost opposite where the Right Hon. E. G.
Stanley sat, surrounded by a number of distinguished per-
sons, among whom was his Grace the Duke of Richmond.
Mr. Derbyshire stood at the door, and Evans inquired
of him where were Mr. Stanley and the Duke of Rich-
mond, as he wanted to see them. Derbyshire very pro-
perly refused to admit him, and Evans became resolute in
his determination to enter. Some slight confusion arose,
on which Mr. Wilson, the constable, come up, searched
Evans, and was abut carrying him off to bridewell.
Evans resisted, and pulled out a loaded horse pistol. Of
this weapon he was instantly deprived, on which he
put his hand into his pocket, and produced two knives
rudely formed from " superannuated " razors. These
were also taken from him, and he was conveyed to Duncan-
street Bridewell. While he was being booked, a drunken
sailor laid hold of the pistol, and accidentally discharged it.
It so frightened Mrs. Lythgoe, the keeper's wife, that she
has been confined to her bed ever since. It appeared, on
inquiry, that Evans had repeatedly called at the Golden
Lion Inn and the Cattle Show-yard during the early part
of the day, inquiring for Mr. Stanley and the Duke
of Richmond. This, coupled with his conduct, and
the fact of his carrying deadly weapons about his person,
naturally led to suspicions of the worst kind. On Tuesday
he was brought up fiat private examination before the ma-
gistrates, and remanded until the next day. He then stated,
in defence, that his sole object was to present a letter to
Mr. Stanley, as Colonial Secretary, respecting some claims
to the amount of some hundred thousand pounds, which
sum he alleged was due to his late father by Government.
He attempted to explain the fact of carrying a loaded
pistol with him, by stating that be was in the habit of
practising at the Shooting-gallery, which we believe he
was. Under all the circumstances, the Magistrates felt
themselves justified in holding Evans to bail (himself in
5001. and two sureties in 2501. each), in default thereof, to
he committed for 12 months to the borough gaol. Bail
wis
was not forthcoming, and he was removed to prison,

his eccentric habits. His father was a legal officer abroad,

It is said that since that

soner has been mentally deranged

LONDON,
MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER SO, 1833.

Earl GREY is said to experience a good deal
of opposition to his views of English Church
Reform, not only from the Tory party, but also
from many whose professions on the question of
reform generally have been such as to warrant a
belief that they would make some sacrifice for
the public interest. The Noble Earl, however,
stands too deeply pledged to Church reform to
allow any sort of influence to deter him from
bringing it forward next session. It would,
besides, be impossible for him to remain in office
if he were to disappoint the expectations of the
country on a subject of such importance, parti-
cularly when it is considered that some of the most
influential of his opponents on general questions
have declared Church reform to be indispensable.
Not a day passes without the occurrence of some
circumstance showing the necessity of change ;
and even the Church pluralists themselves have
the decency not to defend openly what they are
secretly labouring to perpetuate. Intrigue, how-
ever;and perhaps some portion of Court influence,
will not be spared ; for the Church has hitherto
been such a convenient mode of providing for
the younger sons and dependants of great men,
that we must not expect such fine things to be re-
linquished without a struggle. Take the follow-
ing as an instance of the mode in which the
Aristocracy provide for their relations by Church
patronage. There is, within a few miles of the
metropolis, a rector not thirty years of age, the
younger son of a Duke, whose living is said to
be worth nearly 2,0001. per annum, whilst the
curate receives about 1001. for performing the
duties ;• and this Noble Lord holds also another
piece of preferment, the value of which we have
not heard, but which, as he is the son of a Duke,
is probably considerable. Can such things be
suffered to continue by a Reform Ministry ?

Further accounts have been received from the
Hague, fully confirming what we stated on Sa-
turday as to the obstinacy of the King of
HOLLAND. It remains to be seen whether the
British and French Cabinets will attempt any
thing new in the way of coercion. M. de
TALLEYRAND said before his departure from
London that force must be used (qu'il fallait des
coups de canons), but it is not improbable that
Louts PHILIP, abandoned as he is by the
liberal party in France, who brought him into
power, but whom he has by turns neglected and
persecuted, may find enough to do at home, if
he is anxious to retain the sovereignty of the
French nation. The King of HOLLAND is
aware of the difficulties of the French King's
position, and has, therefore, sent deputies to the
absolute Sovereigns to entreat that they will insist
upcn further procrastination. The Dutchman,
however, appears to have overlooked the consi-
deration that LOUIS PHILIP may open his eyes
to the absurdity of a reliance on the professions
which the despots have made of their readiness
to serve him in the event of his using all his
influence against the Republican party in France,
and that he may, as the only means of preserving
his Crown, throw himself into the arms of the
Movement party, in which case the people of
France would bid open defiance to the Allied
Sovereigns, and commence a war of principle,
one of the results of which would be the annexa-
tion of Belgium to France, or at least sucha con-
nection between the two countries as would
not only put an end to the hopes which the
King of HOLLAND entertains of again possessing
Belgium, but also make him tremble for the
territories which stiil acknowledge his sove-
reignty.

By the French Papers of Friday, we learn
that the French Government is everywhere on
the alert, as tie report that the Duchess of
BERRY was on the eve of making a second in-
vasion of the South of France was gaining
ground. The Alberto steamer had been twice
seen off the coast, under suspicious circum-
stances ; and it was even said, that chests of

arms had been landed at several places on the
southern coast. The same Papers confirm, to
the fullest extent, the report of the late tremen-
dous conflagration at Constantinople, the origin
of which, whether it were accident or design, is
yet a mystery. In Spain, the cholera still con-
tinued to commit the most deplorable ravages.

It is stated in the Court Journal that Colonel
EvANs, who lately left Falmouth for Lis►ion,
(lid so on the special invitation of Admiral
NAPIER, one of his oldest friends, and that his
visit has nothing to do with the contest now
carrying on between Don PEDRO and his
brother. It is quite true that Colonel EVANS
has gone out on the invitation of Admiral
NAPIER ; but we have no doubt that he will be
consulted by the Constitutionalists as to their
military operations. The Gallant Colonel had
at one time nearly entered into an arrangement
with Don PEDRO, by which he would have
assumed a prominent part in the warfare ; but
his election for Westminster has entirely put an
end to all idea of an engagement in foreign
service, however honourable. Colonel EVANS
had declared that so long as the electors of
Westminster honour him with their confidence,
he will remain at the post in which they have
placed him, and his return from Portugal will
take place at least two months before the Parlia-
mentary campaign shall have commenced here.
It is not probable, however, that the Portuguese
Constitutionalists will neglect the opportunity of
consulting a man whose military services, and
excellent judgment, are so fully appreciated by
all who know him.

The Leicester Corporators and their Tory
Recorder, Mr. Sergeant GOULBURN, are in-
volved in a curious and distressing " emer-
gency." A conglomerated mass of corruption
and corporate mal-practices has transpired, and
although the perpetrators are striving to avoid
complete detection by the Corporation Commis-
sioners, they will fail in their palpable purpose
of concealing illegal and nefarious Acts unparal-
leled in the annals of Corporations. The Lei-
cester Self-Elect enjoying a brazen character,
and heretofore protected by the good opinion
and power of Lord LYNDHURST and Sir
ROBERT PEEL, who vouched for their muni-
cipal integrity and trustworthiness, have mort-
gaged the public property of the burgesses for
the private and party object of securing the
return, in 1826, of two high-flying anti-Catholic
Members of Parliament, in opposition to 11r.
EvANS, and the present Lord Chief Justice of
the King's Bench, Sir THOMAS DENMAN.
Although temporarily successful, they are now
in a fair way of being tried and convicted at the
bar of public opinion, and elsewhere, for their
scandalous offences. The misappropriation of
ten thousand pounds is an act of political
violation of municipal trust not to be
lightly passed over by a Reformed House
lof Commons ; and the canting and falla-
cious objections of the Leicester Corporators
to the presence of the " unwashed" (as the
Leicester Journal vulgarly and indecently calls
the anxious and indignant burgesses who at-
tended the examinations of the Town Clerk by
the Commissioners), will not successfully protect
the Corporators from a full inquiry, and final
retribution. A more illegal or scandalous expo-
sure never met the public eye ; it demonstrates
the necessity of municipal reform, and illustrates
the corrupt state of the self-elect " in and in
breeding" Corporations. Mr. Sergeant GOUL-
BCRN.S " valuable advice and assistance" is
likely to commit the Corporators, and to bring
them up to the bar of the reformed House of
Commons on an early day next session. We
rejoice in these exposures. It was high time
that the public nuisance of close Corporations
was abated. Insecurity of property indeed !
Assuredly property is insecure, while irrespon-
sibly intrusted to such abusers of public trusts.
We observe instances in all the country papers
of Corporators alienating the public property,
and creating little municipal debts, in envious
imitation of the great national incumbrance.
We boldly aver that this Commission will
do no good, unless in its results it clears
the roost by recommending that the pre-
sent Corporators vacate their situations,
as the Boroughmongers were compelled to do,
and submit to the ordeal of popular election in
the choice of honest and competent persons, to
whom the burgesses can safely trust the admi-
nistration of their municipal affairs and revenues.
Mr. Sergeant GOULBURN'S law and advice will
be dearly purchased, if the Corporators determine
to act upon such stuff. The Learned Gentleman
should begin de novo his legal education, and
then acquire a little more worldly sagacity, before
he again plays the part of RECORDER. As owls
dread the light, so the Leicester Corporators
appear to shun publicity. If they do not make
up their minds to show the inside of their coun-
try house, they are likely to visit London, and
lodge in a place not far from the Old Bailey ;
and if the unfortunate mortgagee of the public
property ever sees his 10,0001. again, it must be
by an extract from the private purse of the Cor-
porators. Such a shameless and corrupt trans-
action never before oozed out, and the barefaced
objections of the Corporators and the Town
Clerk against further public examination aggra-
vate their offences. We almost wish that they
may continue contumacious. Probably the
ends of justice will be ultimately more fully
lanswered

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Bombay papers to May 30, Montreal to Sept. 4, and
Quebec to Sept. 3, have been received at the North and
South American :3offee.hou•e.

(From the Bombay Papers.)

We have heard that orders have been received from
home for the abolition of the offices of assessor to the ma-
gistrates, and the third stipendiary magistrate of the
Mahim district. The same account states that in future
no civil servant (the Members of Council excepted), is to
receive an allowance exceeding 30,000 eels per annum.
We learn that Sir Charles Malcolm has quite recovered
his health, and may be expected here about November.
(From the Montreal Papers.)

The design of separating the Peninsula of Prince Ed-
ward and the adjacent country from the Middle Land dis-
trict, and converting it into an independent district, is,
we hear, to be speedily carried into effect.
(From the Quebec Papers.)
_ _

KINGSTON, UPPER CANADA, AUGUST 18.—We men-
tio❑ it, as a remarkable instance, that on Saturday last
there were twelve steam boats in the harbour of Kingston
at the same time.

The telegraph announces seven ships, eight barks, and
22 brigs. Part of them are expected up this evening.
EMIGRATION.—Since we last mentioned this subject,
emigrants have continued to land regularly at this port,
though not in great numbers, but of a very respectable
description. So few of the labouring classes hive landed
at this port that the want of them is much felt in the
town, and applications have been made in vain far servants
and labourers, by persons who reside twenty, thirty, and
fifty miles off.

(From the American Papers to the 10th inst.)
NULLIFICATION IN DOMINICA.

A letter from a member of the Legislature of this Island
indicates that the inhabitants are about to appeal to arms
to resist the Bill of the Ministry. It is dated the 13th
July, and alludes to a memorial to Parliament. The writer
adds :—" As we cannot get any arms from the King's
arsenal here, we have ordered muskets and accoutrements
to the amount of 4001. sterling with all possible despatch."
Accounts from Tampico inform us that the insurgents
had taken Victoria, but had not entered the city of Tam-
pico. All business was at a stand, owing to the disturbed
state of the country.
