GERMAN PAPERS.

FRANKFORT, JULY 10.—A new town is to be built near
Belgrade, and in the Servian territory ; a great palace is to
be erected in it, for which the plan was made in Vienna.
Two state lotteries will take place in Servia this year.
MAYENCE, JUNE 28.—The Central Committee for the na-
vigation of the Rhine will again assemble on the Ist July for
a month.—Frankfort Puper7July 11.
GREECE.—Munich journals contain the following article :
According to accounts from Napoli of 15th June, which have
an official character, the troops under the command of Lieut.-
Col. Van Ott, arrived, and were landed in Maina, as was to
be expected, without obstacle. The Mainots, who, for their
own mutual security, only waited for the appearance of a conside-
rable military force, have partlydiminished their fortified towers,
partly converted them into ordinary country houses, and given
up their arms in consequence of this. The troops sent to Ma-
rina will shortly return in the same ships that took them to
their appointed garrisons, Navarin, Modon, &c. The most
distinguished family in Marina, that of the Mamomichalis, had
previously demolished their fortresses, and a Greek officer now
here, saw eighteen cannon which they had delivered up arrive
at the arsenal of Napolis. So much for the confirmation of
the truth of the reports of the day in circulation here,"
NAPLES, JUNE 26.—Many are the reports in circulation
respecting the King's determination to pass some months in
Sicily. The fortunate solution of events in the Peninsula,
the approximation of this Cabinet to that of the Tuilleries, the
projected union of Prince Leopold with a French Princess, and
other apparently unimportant, though weighty, changes in the
demonstrations of the public organs of the Government, give
reason to believe that the long-wished for dawn has appeared
which is to give us a Constitution every way suitable to the
wants of the Neapolitan people. It was easy to perceive that
the Sicilians, too, whose country has been for centuries ne-
glected, and often bowed down by tyrannical Government,
should call forth the attention of a Monarch animated with a
wish to promote his subjects' good. It appears scarcely pos-
sible, and yet it is a fact, that the revenue of the former corn
granary of Italy should hardly be sufficient to cover the ex-
penses of the Administration. It would, however, be erroneous
to suppose that this pitiable.situation is owing to a want of at-
tention on the part of the young Prince. It is not his fault,
if the many improvements he had ordered, have miscarried
through the indolence of most of the functionaries, and for want
of sufficient inspection and control. It may be affirmed that
attempts are daily made to reform abuses, .and of the King's
mild disposition the most incredulous must be convinced, from
his having re-called so many persons persecuted formerly for
their political principles, and plaeed many of them in the most
considerable posts—namely, in the army. In short, the foun-
dation of great political changes is laid, which must complete
the regeneration of Naples. It would be premature as well
as unwise, to fix the period of this event, so important to all
Italy. The groundwork of the Constitution will be laid, ac-
cording to the best sources of information, after those of the
Southern States of Germany, and, consequently, will hardly
fulfil the expectations of the anti-liberal party, but it will re-
ceive the applause of the largest and best part of the nation.
Shortly before his departure, the King issued two decrees,
proposed both by the Ministers of Justice and the Interior,
which reflects the
.greatest honour on them. These two de-
crees relate to prisoners hitherto arrested in the province,
and frequently condemned to death on suspicion, or on
the evidence of false witnesses ; the armed force alone
is now only authorised to arrest, and not any private individual,
as heretofore. Every condemnation to death must be sent to
Naples in an official manner, even when the delinquent, either
from ignorance of his advantage, or being tired of life, shall
neglect to make application. If the prisoner's counsel does
not take this step, the Attorney_ General is to bring the appear
into the Court of Cessation at Naples. The King and Queen
were_received at Palermo with the same acclamations as three
years ago. A part of the diplomatic corps, and many distin-
guished foreigners, will follow the Court to Sicily.—Allge-
nzeine Zeitung, July 11.

By order of the Marquis of Lansdowne, all the foxes
on his Lordship's property have been destroyed, in consequence
of the keepers having discovered that those vermin resolutely
attacked and destroyed the young fawn.—Bristol Mercury.
