GERMAN PAPERS.

BRUNSWICK, MARCH 2 3 —The French Captain
Chaltas lately arrived here from Paris, on account of
the publication of a pamphlet against his highness
Duke Charles, has been condemned by the Tribu-
nals of Paris, in the first instance, to a year's impri-
sonment, and 100,000 francs damages ; he has, how-
ever, appealed against this sentence. As he is the
agent of the guardians appointed for the estates of
Duke Charles, had many claims for his services to
settle. He was provided with passports in due form
by the French authorities. He immediately waited on
the Minister, M. Von Veltheim, and wished to have
an audience of his highness Duke William. It was,
however, intimated to him that the Duke was not in
town ; that his affairs did not in any manner concern
the Government of Brunswick, which had no funds
granted by the estates to discharge his claims ; that
he had to apply for this purpose only to the guardians
(or trustees), and that he might go to Hanover for
that purpose. _

BERLIN, MARCH 29.—We find the following article
in the Konigsburg Journal :—" We learn from good
authority, that in the course of this year, probably in
August and the beginning of September, the whole of
the first corps of the army, with the battalions and
squadrons of the landwehr belonging to it, and also
with the Ist and 3d battalions of the Ist regiment of
landwehr of the guards, will be assembled in the vici-
nity of our city for four weeks."
A great part of these troops, as we hear (18 batta-
lions of infantry, and perhaps part of the cavalry), will
be in a camp in the neighbourhood of this city.
MUNICH, MARCH 29.—Two hundred and twenty-
two men of the corps of the Greek service (mostly
Swiss and convalescents) left the barracks to-day to go
to Trieste.—Frankfort Papers, April 2.
BERLIN, MARCH 19.—The speech made by Prince
Sulkowsky on the opening of the session of the Pro-
vincial Assembly of the Grand Duchy of Posen has
given rise to many strange reports in that province,
as if he had attacked the Prussian Government, and
especially the Chief President; but the whole speech is
written with extraordinory temper, and with the gra-
vity and dignity that might be expected from that
Prince. We therefore give it entire, which we con
ceive to be the best way of proving the groundlessness
of the above suppositions.
Prince Sulkowsky addressed the Assembly of the
Estates of the Province in the following terms :—.
" Gentlemen ! Representatives of the Grand Duchy
of Posen I My honoured colleagues assembled here
for the third time by his Majesty's will 1 I am
again honoured with the direction of this As-
sembly. If I was so happy, in the two preceding
Diets, to gain the confidence of the Estates, I request
you, gentlemen, on this occasion also kindly to support
my several exertions and my boundless devotedness.
Our first duty now is, after duly weighing the propo-
sitions laid before us to-day by his Majesty's com-
mands, to give an answer to them ; making use of
our valuable right to address representations and re-
quests to the house, we will frankly declare what we
need and what we wish. Thus proceeding in concert
with the dignified energy becoming the representative
of the Grand Duchy of Posen, we shall have certainly
fulfilled the duties incumbent on us."

" Most honoured High President and Royal Com-
missioner—ln welcoming you to-day as Royal Com-
missioner in the Assembly of the Estates, a melancholy
feeling seizes us. We no longer see in this place the
Prince Governor, whose noble sentiments and affable
condescension will certainly remain indelibly impressed
on the memory of all and each of us. Wherever any
thing good and excellent was to be promoted his heart
and his hand were ever open. Be this grateful ac-
knowledgment devoted to his memory. Let this re-
membrance be considered as a tribute due to the name
of your predecessor, who, during the sitting of two
Diets, was on the most friendly terms with the Estates,
and for whose kind attention many inhabitants have
reason to be grateful.
" Honoured High President—His Majesty has con-
fided to you, in a very agitated period, the direction of
the government of the Grand Duchy. This is the
highest distinction for you, for our said Monarch would
certainly confide the welfare of his subjects to such
hands only as would act in his spirit. The task which
your situation imposes on you, honoured High Presi-
dent, is certainly not an easy one ; but, looking to the
enlightened course of the government, why should not
we, an important member (allow us this expression)
of the state, trust in God that we shall one day feel
ourselves happy when this course shall have been ac-
complished.
" ANTHONY COUNT SULKOWSKY."

PORTSMOUTH, APRIL s.—We have received letters
from Malta, dated March 10, which state the arrival
there on the 4th of Vice-Admiral Sir Josias Rowley,
K. C. 8., to take the command. The Endymion had
28 days' passage from St. Helen's. Sir Pulteney
Malcolm left Malta on the following day in the
Britannia, with the Caledonia, St. Vincent, Talavera,
and Malabar, on a short cruise. The Meteor had gone
to the coast of Spain to recall the Barham, for the
conveyance of Sir Pulteney to England. The Rover,
from Sheerness, and the Scout, from Tripoli, had ar-
rived at Malta, and remained there with the Endymion.
It was understood that Sir Samuel Roberts would take
the command of the Malabar, 84 ; Captain Hon. F. W.
Grey (of the Actwon), the Endymion • Commander
the Hon. G. Grey, promoted to the rank of Captain,
and appoiuted to the Actaeon ; and Flag Lieutenant
Richard Morgan, to be Commander, and command the
Scout.

Letters from Barbadoes, dated February 5, state that
the squadron was healthy : the Forte, Vestal, Sapphire,
and Wasp, had sailed on a cruise, and the Racer to

rica, had touched at Madeira previous to the 24th ult.
The Wolf arrived at the Cape of Good Hope on the
22d of January from Trincomalee and Mauritius, on
her passage to England. The Challenger left Rio
Janeiro for the Falkland Islands on the 21st of De-
cember, and the Satellite arrived at Rio on the 11th
of January from Buenos Ayres, where the Hornet ar-
rived on the 11th of December. The Conway, 28,
arrived at Rio on the Ist of January from Bahia. The
Melville, 74 ( Vice-Admiral Sir John Gore), had ar-
rived at Bombay on the 11th of December, and was
expected to remain there three months.

nett, went out of harbour. She is expected to sail in
a few days for Jamaica. Lieutenant Dowse, and
Messrs. Cunningham and Mahon, Assistant-Surgeons,
take their passage to join the Vernon.
The eight sail of the line which were commenced
some weeks since being put into a state for commission,
are still kept in their preparatory condition, under, no
doubt, the probability that they may yet be wanting to
increase our force in the Mediterranean. Each of
the ships, and the frigates also,_ has this week had a
master appointed to them, to take charge of the stores,
but they are still to be considered as in a state of ordi-
nary: _

The Surrey, convict ship, sailed on Monday, for
New South Wales.

celyn Percy will assume the command. The Impreg-
