BRUSSELS AND GERMAN PAPERS.

BRUSSELS, JULY 6.—The King and Queen will pass through
Tournay on Saturday next, the lath of July, on their return from
Paris. Their Majesties will alight at the Episcopal Palace.
A person who is in a situation to be well informed, has transmitted
to us some particulars respecting the approachint, distribution of the
Iron Cross ; about 300 of the first class, and 600 of the second will
be bestowed. But it is probable that there will be a second distri-
bution, after the fetes of September, because, while there is a
mass of applicants supported by no proofs, it has been proved that
a greater number of wounded, all of whom have claims, have not
eren sent petitions.
It is said that Baron Neumann, who has been sent to Beboush
on the part of the Court of Austria, is now commissioned to make
proposals at London in the name of his Sovereign, respecting the
Luxemburg question, and that he is the bearer of an ultimatum from
which the Court of Vienna will not in any point depart.
The crew of the North American vessels in the port of Antwerp
celebrated, on the 4th, the anniversary of American independence.
The Chamber of Representatives is proceeding with the law rela-
tive to the import and transit duties on linens.—Brussels Papers,
July 7.
BOSNIAN FRONTIERS, JUNE 24.—The accounts given in the
Agrees Gazette of the 17th, of a new eruption made from Bosnia
into the Austrian territory, and especially of an attack on the fron-
tier fortress Czetten, furnishes a new proof of the barbarous,
savage, and murderous manner of the Turks who inhabit the pro-
vince. This applies especially to those who inhabit that part of
Bosnia which is called Turkish Croatia. Hence have always pro-
ceeded most of the violations of the Austrian territory, and the
plundering incursions which have at different times obliged the Aus-
trian government to obtain satisfaction for itself, and to chastise the
robbers, as any representation to the Porte to obtain satisfaction
and security against future depredations failed, because the Porte
itself found it quite impossible to keep this province in a state of
tranquillity. It is even positively affirmed that the Porte, on a si-
milar occasion some years ago, declared that Austria might obtain
satisfaction for itself; and particularly:that it should seek out and
destroy the retreat of the banditti and rebels of that province ; nay,
that if it thought fit, it might occupy with a military force, or incor-
porate with its own dominions the small part of Turkish Croatia
to the place where the Unna forms a national boundary ; that the
Porte could be only a gainer by such a step, as it would be thereby
rid of a small portion of its subjects that were always in a state of
rebellion against it, and Turkey would thereby, instead of losing
strength, rather gain, since it almost required the constant employ-
ment of a separate corps of troops to preserve order and obedience
among this population, which is always in a state of rebellion and
anarchy.
This alleged expression of the Porte is now generally expected,
as measures are about to be taken to chastise the authors
of the late excesses, and an ardent wish is generally enter-
tained that Austria, acting for the interest of civilisation
would at length occupy . with a military force that part of
Turkish Croatia which is separated from the rest of Bosnia
by the Unna, which forms a natural boundary, and where
the banditti have most of their lurking places, the more so as the
actual frontier affords no security whatever against incursions,
and can only be protected by a living wall, viz. the armed
population of the frontier. This wish is especially cherished
by the Christian inhabitants of Turkish Croatia, who, in
the present state of things, are in constant fear for their property
and their lites. But will Austria, whose principles are strictly
conservatory, fulfil these wishes? This is a question which Ido
not venture to answer even conjecturally.

July 3.

A trial has recently taken place in Corsica for one
of those frequent murders, the result of ancient feuds, for
which that country is so deplorably remarkable. The names
of the prisoners were Marsilius Nicolai and Jacques Grigi.
The following was the substance of the evidence against
them :—On the 18th of April, 1833, J. Ferri, J. Luccioni,
and Nicodemus and Paul Automarchi, seized some sheep which
were found trespassing upon the lands of the Automarchi, and
which belonged to a family called Nicolai, with whom they
had been for a long time at variance. As they were driving
the sheep to the pound, they came about noon to a part of
the road called Repositajo, when they were suddenly assailed
by a shower of musket-balls, aimed at them by seven or eight
individuals, amongst whom were Marsilius Nicolai and Jacques
Grigi. Ferri and Nicodemus Automarchi were killed on the
spot, and Luccioni, who received two balls, one in the breast
and the other in the right eye, expired a few hours after.
Paul Automarchi, though severely wounded, succeeded
in making his escape. Paul Automarchi deposed that he
-recognized Marsilius Nicolai amongst the assassins, and that
it was he who fired at him. Other witnesses declared that,
immediately before dying, Luccioni had affirmed that Mar..
silius Nicolai was one of the murderers. The next witness
was John Baptist Luccioni, the father of one of the victims.
Being asked by the President, at the desire of the prisoner, if
he was not his enemy, he turned towards Nicolai, and with
the most impassioned gestures and tone of voice thus addressed
him 0, Marsilius you say lam your enemy ? But are
you not Marsilius? Is it not to you and your brothers that
we owe all our misfortunes? Have you not ravaged our fields,
rooted up our olive-trees, killed our cattle, besieged our
houses, and ruined our families? Is it not to you that I owe
the death of a brother, a brother-in-law, two nephews, and a
son ? Do you not know me ? Look me full in the face. I
know you well—you are Marsilius !" This apostrophe pro-
duced a profound effect both upon the prisoner and the audi-
ence. The jury acquitted Grigi, but found Marsilius Nicolai
guilty of murder, and the Court sentenced him to hard labour
for life at the hulk.
