GERMAN PAPERS

HESSE DARMSTADT, SEPT 6.--We understand that the As-
sembly of the States of our Grand Duchy is drawing rapidly to
a close ; the debates on the Budget, it is supposed, arc the
less likely to be protracted, as the Ministers are already agreed
on all the main points with the Committee, so that the debates
that may "arise on it in the Chamber of Deputies will probably
not occupy much time.
ASCHAFFENBURG, SEPT. 6.—lt is reported that his Majesty
the King of Bavaria will go direct from this place to Italy,
and that the Queen will stay here some time longer. It is
also said that at a later period of the year, when the usual
autumnal storms are over, perhaps not till December or January,
his Majesty will visit Greece.
SEPT. B.—His Majesty, who has been indisposed for a few
days, is now quite recovered, so that he was able the day be-
fore yesterday to be present at a hunting party. The Prince
Von Wallerstein, Minister of State, is expected here.--Frank-
fort Papers, Sept. 13.
PRUSSIA, SEPT. 7.—Our letters from Petersburg say that
after a review at \Vilna the Emperor Nicholas will visit the
southern provinces of the empire, and there also have reviews
of troops, but only of a small detached corps, which are in fact
already collected together. The number of troops that Russia
maintains in the south is considerable and nearly double that in
the northern provinces. This arrangement has probably been
made, because there was room to fear an interruption of the ex-
isting relations of the East, and though the troubles in Syria
are put down, these fears are still kept up by the pretensions
of the English Cabinet. It seems scarcely credible that the
East gives in London more occasion to write and talk than
the West, though the latter is so much nearer, and has in
itself so much inflammable matter that two generations may
easily pass away without noticing. But people are in general
fond of looking • for objects at a distance, and then, after
some dear bought experience, are vexed that they have over-
looked that which is of importance, and busied themselves about
trifles. This is the case in England, whose Ministers are in
continual alarm about the East, but do not see what is passing
at home, and do not perceive the danger that threatens from
Spain, or fancy that they are strong enough to avert it when
the time shall come. This is an error for which they will per-
haps have to make a severe atonement, and which was recog-
nized as such by Canning. His comprehensive mind indulged
no illusions respecting Spain ; he considered every experiment
that should aim at propagating the new ideas in Spain as a
blunder. His words, in reference to this subject, cannot be
sufficiently repeated, but seeing not to be known to the present 1
English Ministers, who seek to liberalize Spain by force, and
without regard to the situation, manners and customs of the
people, without regard to their own interests, make common
cause with France, and seem to stupify themselves, as if the
dangerous crisis to which the civil war kindled in the
Peninsula may bring Europe did not concern Eng-
land. It is remarkable how pliant English policy
is, with respect to Spain—how it moulds itself entirely
in the spirit of Talleyrand ; and, on the other hand, in
how obstinate, nay underhand, a manner, it goes to work
whenever the East is in question. Those who are at all ac-
quainted with the notions that Lord Palmerston has conceived
respecting the situation of Turkey, its connexion with Russia,
and the task which has thereby devolved on England of in-
terfering, will not wonder when he sees all the activity of the
Noble Lord lavished on a diplomatic episode, and hears him
continually calling out fire, where there is not even any com-
bustible matter. All the world knows what is the intention
of the Convention of Constantinople in the manner Russia
will have it understood, and how the Russian Charge d'Af-
faires at Constantinople lately furnished the commentary to it.
Lord Palmerston alone does not know it; be sees the articles ,
of this convention double, and deduces manifold conclusions
from their supposed meaning. In this view the movement
of the English fleet in the Mediterranean seems to
be explicable, for it comes and goes, goes and comes, without
knowing why or wherefore, just as if its object were to go in
search of some adventure, or to give an opportunity for com-
plaints, in order to justify the useless activity in which
Great Britain has entangled herself. We, believe, how-
ever, that it will prove to be labour in vain, and that the Eng-
lish Admiral will no more succeed in bringing the Porte out
of its calm attitude, than the innumerable notes of Lord Pal-
merston can contribute to disturb the political course which
the Cabinets of Petershurgh and Constantinople are resolved
stedfastly to pursue.
NAPOLI, Ace. 11.—The recall of Messrs. Maurer and
Abel, the two members of the State Council, is considered to
be fraught with evil to the country. The Greeks observe
with a scrutinizing eye the movements of the Regency, and
have given the most significant proofs of their great esteem for
the recalled Ministers.

As far as could be gathered from the administrative acts of
these gentlemen it would seem that their whole thoughts were
directed to the promotion of the public welfare. Among their
first acts was the establishment of the independence of the
Greek National Church by the creation of a National Synod, a
measure which the Greeks received with unanimous approba-
tion. May this important work meet with no interruption
The Courts of Justice and the schools will be definitively or-
ganised in September, and the commercial organisation will
take place throughout the kingdom. The lively interest which
the inhabitants display in the choice of persons who are to be
placed at the head of their municipal administration, shows
how greatly they prize the new organisation they have pro-
cured. Accounts from Maina speak unfavourably of the sanitary
state of the Royal Troops--the greator part of them are laid
up either with dysentery or fever.
L. itomelia there hac been a new irruption" of robbers, who
are to the amount of about 200. They are chiefly Albanians,
whom it will be difficult to repress without the establishment of
a cordon of troops along the frontier. These events occasion
great uneasiness to the Regency at the present moment, when
such great changes have taken place in the Administration.--
.Alerneine Zeitung, Sept. 13.

THE FLY ON THE GLASS.

We have before spoken of the fret and fury into
which the common fly seems to put himself against a
window. Bees appear to take it more patiently, out of
a greater knowledge ; and slip about with a strange
air of hopelessness. They seem to " give it up."
These things, as Mr. Pepys said of the humanities at
court, "it is pretty to observe." Glass itself is a phe-
nomenon that might alone serve a reflecting observer
with meditation for a whole morning,—so substantial
and yet so air-like, so close and compact to keep away
the cold, yet so transparent and facile to let in light,
the gentlest of all things—so palpably something,
and yet to the eye and the perceptions a kind of no-
thing ! It seems absolutely to deceive insects in
this respect, which is remarkable, considering how
closely they handle it, and what microscopic eyes
we suppose them to have. We should doubt (as
we used to do) whether we did not mistake their
ideas on the subject, if we had not so often seen
their repeated dashings of themselves against the
panes, their stoppings, as if to take breath, and then
their re-commencement of the same violence. It is
difficult to suppose that they do this for mere pleasure,
for it looks as if they must hurt themselves. Observe
in particular the tremendous thumps given himself by
that great hulking fellow of a fly, that Ajax of the
Diptora, the blue-bottle. Yet, in autumn, in their old
age, flies congregate in windows as elsewhere, and will
take the matter so quietly as to stand still for hours to-
gether. We suppose they love the warmth, or the
light ; and that either they have found out the secret
as to the rest,- or
" Years have brought the philosophic mind."
Why should fly plague himself any longer with house-
hold matters which he cannot alter ? He was tried
hard in his time ; and now he resigns himself like a
wise insect, and will taste whatsoever tranquil pleasures
remain for him, without losing his brains or losing his
temper any longer. In natural livers pleasure
survives pain. Even the artificial, who keep up their
troubles so long by pride, self-will, and the want of
stimulants, contrive to get more pleasure than is sup-
posed out of pain itself, especially by means of think-
ing themselves ill used, and of grumbling. If the
heart (for want of better training) does not much
keep up its action with them, the spleen does ; and so
there is action of some sort : and wherever there is ac-
tion, there is life ; and life is found to have something
valuable in it for its own sake, apart from ordinary
considerations either of pain or pleasure. But your
fly and your philosopher are for pleasure too to the
last, if it be harmless. Give old Musca a grain of
sugar, and see how he will put down his proboscis, to
it, and dot, and pound, and suck it in, and be as happy
as an old West India gentleman pondering on his
sugar-cane, and extracting a pleasure out
of some
dulcet recollection.—London Journal.

We are informed, that on the night of the 10th in-
stant a brig from Irvine, coal-laden, was driven by the storm
on the Bar-rocks, and now lies in a most dangerous situativa.

SALE OF EAST INDIA VESSELS.—On Wed-
nesday there was a numerous attendance of the shipping and
mercantile interests at Lloyd's Coffee-house, the attention of
parties especially engaged in the East India and China trade
having been drawn to the sale of the finest ship belonging to
the East India Company, the Court of Directors not having
any further occasion for their vessels, in consequence of the
cessation of their commercial privileges. The ship now sub-
mitted to competition was the Earl If Balearras, built of teak
at Bombay in 1811, and bought by the Company for their own
service in 1815. The vessel has since undergone many ex..
tensive repairs. Her stores and armament were most com-
plete, having 26 guns mounted, but capable of carrying 64,
and is therefore well calculated for a ship of war or a trader to
India and China. The vessel had always been considered the
finest merchantman in the world. The auctioneer stated that
he expected at least 12,0001. for the vessel. The biddings
were commenced at 8,000/., and gradually advanced till they
reached 10,7001., at which the vossel was, with all her stores,
&c., disposed of.

LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 19, 1534.

Another meeting of the Protestant Conservative
Society took place on Tuesday last in Dublin. These
men are making desperate efforts to keep alive religious
discord in Ireland, but fortunately with little or no
success, for from all we can gather of their proceed-
ings, as well as from the chop-fallen spirit of their
own journals, their meetings and counter-meetings—

their addresses—their speeches--their placards, mi-
naceous and expostulatory--each and all fall as
dead and heavy on the public mind as OBA-
DIAII'S hat on Mr. WALTER SHANDY'S kitchen
floor. But this unequivocal failure is not con-
fined solely to the Conservatives—it is shared near-

ly equally by the O'Connellites. If the Orange
Lodges are
,despised and laughed at, the Liberal
clubs are by no means in greater favour with the peo-
ple ; whence we infer that there is a growing indiffer-
ence and distaste in the public mind of Ireland towards
all party extremes, which augurs well for its shrewd.
ness and common-sense. At the last meeting of the
Dublin Conservative Society, Mr. BOYTON was the
chief orator. He was exceedingly choleric—as most
Irish Clergymen are apt to be, on matters that affect
the sensibility of their pockets--and entered into

countless prolix details of the sufferings that the
Protestants were hourly undergoing at the hands of
Government and its agents, the O'CONNELLITES.
On this portion of his theme, the Rev. Gentleman

evidently intended to be overpowering. The poor,
persecuted Protestants, he said, whose chief 'crime
was attachment to the land of their fathers,—whose
chief virtue (to say nothing of a hundred minor ex.
cellencies, " too numerous," as our show-placards
say, "to be mentioned within the limits of a hand-
bill"), was an almost superhuman meekness of dispo-
sition, were being routed out—hunted—and trampled
on in all quarters. The consequence was, 'that they
were emigrating by thousands ; all the virtue
wisdom—honour—wit--eloquence of the " gem,"
were in daily process of shipment to the Ca-
nadas or the United States ; and if this
stream of emigration conthmed to flow much
longer, Ireland would be left in the same demoralized
condition that the world Wus, when A strea quitted it.
For ourselves, we must confess we have no appre-
hensions for the results of this emigration. Ireland
can well spare a few BoyroNs, SULLIVANS, and all
the existing dynasty of the BERESFoRDS. She has
not yet learned to think with complacency of the
.‘ triangles" and " pitch-plasters" of this last accom-
plished fraternity.

The Paris Papers of Wednesday are almost wholly
confined to iietails and indignant remonstrances on the
part of the independent portion of the press, against
the last rirosecution of the republican journal the Na-
tional, which was lately acquitted at the Assizes of Paris,
but on, Tuesday last was found guilty of an attempt
to overthrow the existing government, and its responsible
Editor, M. ROUEN, sentenced to six months' imprison-
ment, and the payment of a fine of 6,000 francs. These
incessant persecutions of the press can have but one
eventual termination—the downfall of Louis PHIL-.
LIPPE and the Doctrinaire system.
We I

nave received from Madrid accounts of the pro.
ceedings of the Cortes of the date of the 11th inst,
The Finance Committee has at last made its report, in
which the Cortes loans contracted between 1820 and
1823, both included, are recognized, and the subse-
quent French loans are rejected, together with the debt,
the payment of which had been guaranteed by treaty
to Prance. The Committee has further unanimously
agreed to limit the present loan required by Ministers
to two hundred millions of reals, which is only half
th:3 amount sought for. What future ste sthe
!vliniWy intend taking is at present unknown. By
