GERMAN PAPERS.

VIENNA, Sam 12.—The Duchess of Berry is on her
way to Prague, where she will probably arrive to-day or
to-morrow. M. de Montbel was sent to meet her, to
remonstrate with her, in the name of Charles X., on the
resolution she bad taken, and to induce her to return to
Naples; but the Duchess appears to have thought proper
to continue her journey, in order to consult personally
with her august family.
The Constantinople mail of the 26th has arrived here,
but brings nothing interesting. It seems that the Slutan
intended to proceed t 3 the nomination of the Hospodars of
the Principalities, and expected the list of candidates from
St. Petersburgb. As soon as these Hospodars shall have
been appointed and installed, the Russian troops now in
the Principalities will set out on their march to Russia.
All the difficulties respecting the demarcation of the fron-
tiers of Servia are removed, and the Turkish au•
thorities that still remained in the Servian districts
have been replaced by the Servian. The Sultan
is about to enlarge his manufactory of arms, or to erect a
new one. Hitherto, it is said, that between 30,000 and
40,000 stand of arms have been yearly manufactured,
which would suffice to supply a large army. The design
of extending the manufactory seems therefore to indicate
an intended augmentation of the Turkish army which,
notwithstanding all that it has latterly suffered, is still
estimated at 180,000 men. With what view the Porte
raises such a force, which must increase its financial diffi-
culties, it is not easy to explain, unless it means to
embrace the first favourable opportunity of chas-
tising the Pacha of Egypt for what he has done

to it. It is said that the Greek resident will come
to Constantinople to represent his nation. His arrival
will cause some sensation. The Greeks at Constantinople
still consider themselves as subjects of the Porte, and have
no notio❑ that they are no more bound to it or under its
protection. It would, however, be of great importance to
the Greek merchants to have in Constantinople a foreign
representative, on whose support they might rely.
Count Lusi, who is to be the Prussian Minister in
Greece, bas arrived here, and will, in a few days, set out
for Ancona.

VIENNA, SEPT. 13.-5 per Cents. Metalliques, 9i ;
4 per Cents., 82 ; Bank Shares, 1,183.
FRANKFORT, SEPT. 16.—Our Correspondent in Poland
sends us the following details which merit the attention of
our readers:—

The late debates in the British House of Commons
having again attracted public attention to the affairs of
Poland, it will not Le without utility to call to mind some
circumstances, probably forgotten by some, perhaps even
unknown to many others, and which are now of great
historical importance to every body.

When in 1812. the virtnrintig army n 1 the

-.ander occupied the Tirana Duchy of Warsaw, when
afterwards the remnants of the French army were driven
to the left bank of the Rhin,, the most enthusiastic minds
ceased to hope the regeneration of the kingaom of Poland,
for common sense told them that by the force of circum-
stances alone the only question to be solved was, whether
the political situation of 1806, that is to say, the union of
the Grand Duchy with Prussia should be re-established,
or whether the Emperor Alexander, making use of the
right of conquest, would incorporate it with the Russian
empire. Meantime the prevailing opinion among the in-
habitants was, that the country would be incorporated
with the dominions of one of the neighbouring Powers.
Several persons in the Prussian civil service having, im-
mediately after the battle of Leipsic, taken lodgings at
Warsaw, this circumstance served to countenance the report
that the statu quo of 1806 was going to be restored, and was
precisely the return of a German Government that was
most apprehended. The Central Departmental Council,
as well as all the other departments, then agreed unani-
mou4y to an address, by which his Majesty was requested
to unite the Grand Duchy of Warsaw with the Russian
empire, and to prevent the country, which was inhabited
by a Sclavonian population, from becoming the property
of a German Sovereign.'

Prince Adam Czntoryski, who was chosen to express
the wishes of the ❑atio❑ to the Emperor Alexander, de-
clares that he is the more inclined to undertake this mis-
sion, " because he is firmly convinced that Poland could
not be happy except by its union with the Russian empire."
Meantime the illness of Prince Czartoryski's mother
having prevented his immediate departure, the former
attorney, General Szaniawaki, was appointed to present
the address in question. It was presented to the Emperor
at Friburg, in the 13risgau, and soon afterwards Prince
Czartoryski appeared at the head-quarters to second the
endeavours of Szaniawski. The Emperor Alexander,
however, not thinking the moment favourable for signi-
fying his intentions respecting Poland, put off his answer
to the end of the campaign.
So solemn a step allows no doubt that the Poles sub-
mitted at discretion, and without reserve to the Emperor
Alexander, not only as to the conquerors, but also to the
sovereign of their choice.
It was of his own accord, and contrary to all expec-
tation, that the Emperor Alexander re-established a king-
dom of Poland, that he gave it separate institutions,
flourishing finances, and the finest army it has ever had.

If we now consider, that in return for these immense
benefits, his Alaj!sty the Emperor Alexander and his
august successor were repaid with the blackest ingratitude,
and the most paternal intentions of the Government met
only with base calumnies and a constant spirit of opposi-
tion, which at length brought on the revolution with its
crimes and its miseries, we may duly appreciate the decla
rations of the soi•disant partisans of Poland, who claim
institutions and a political state which the Congress of
Vienna itself never guarantded to that country.—Journal
de Frankfort, Sept. 17.

SUDDEN DEATH.—At the Three Bridges,
within one mile of Carrick-on-Suir, on Friday last, as
William Lahy, a man about thirty years of age, and in
perfect health, was cutting oats (he had the sickle in one
hand and the corn in the other), he dropped and ex-
claimed, " Lord have mercy on my soul, I am dying."
He never spoke after, but expired in a few minutes.—
Dublin Evening Mail.

DREADFUL ACCIDENT.—About 4 o'clock
on Saturday, while a waggon loaded with timber, belonging
to Mr. Cubitt, the eminent builder, in Gray's Ina-lane,
was on its way to Wimbledon, having passed over Batter-
sea-bridge, and just before it bad entered the village of
Battersea, the driver turned up a road on the left, which
is not a highway. The man had not gone far before he
saw his error. The waggon was drawn by four horses ;
and just as the driver had seized hold of the shaft horse,
and called on the rest to stop, the ponderous machine,
with tremendous force, was burled down a bank about
eight feet deep, into a muddy ditch, the whole being in-
volved in indescribable confusion. The cries of the man
soon brought assistance ; but, what with the darkness of
the ❑ight and the struggles of the horses, little could be
done to extricate them for some time. The animals were
at length drawn out (one unfortunately being dead), and
the timber replaced. There was 1001. in gold, silver,
and copper in a box in the load, which was burst open in
the fall, and the money scattered about, but, with the ex-
ception of a few halfpence, all was recovered. The wag-
goner narrowly escaped with his life. The loss to Mr.
Cubitt is near 1001.

LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 24, 1833.1

It is reported in what are called the fashion-
able circles that the Earl of MUNSTER is not
yet satisfied with what has been done for him
by the Government, and that having complained
to an illustrious personage, he has justly in-
curred displeasure, and is now digesting his
ill humour at Brighton. Our readers, however,
must not suppose that Lord MUNSTER, remem-
bering his origin, rinds his pre-eminence over
the generality of persons of -:'rnilar birth painful
from its tendency to direct the attention of man-
kind to circumstances which, although not dis-
creditable in themselves to the individual
affected by them, yet become so when he forgets
his own origin, and gives himself airs in society
which cannot be assumed even by the highest
without displeasing men of sense, and offending
the multitude. Lord MUNSTER has no feeling

of this kind. His motive of dissatisfaction
is, as we hear, his not being created a Duke,

and not having an estate settled upon him by the
- - _

country. His Lordship is sufficiently well versed
in the history of his country to know, that the
illegitimate sons of many Sovereigns attained
the rank in society to which he aspires ; but he
should bear in mind that the circumstances
which caused their elevation were very different
from those of the present day. The illusion which
formerly hung around thrones, and which made
men believe that an individual having the blood
of a King in his veins,—although in the sinister
course of things,—was inferior only to the Royal
progeny in the matrimonial line, exists no longer;
and a right-minded man, although he would not
feel disgraced at an illegitimacy which was the fault
of his parents, and not his own, would at least dis-
cover that the post of honour would be with him,
in a peculiar degree, a private station. If Lord

MUNSTER had rendered to society any of those

services which hare in other cases-given a splen-
dour which no circumstance of birth or connec-
tion could have bestowed, he might be excusable

for aspiring to higher dignities;—honours we
will not call them, for the mere titles bestowed
by a Sovereign, unaccompanied by worth, are
no more honourable than are the assumed titles
of a pageant or a play ;—but we are quite at a
loss to divine the service which he has per-
formed, unless, indeed, it was the back stair
service of the Court, which, but for the good
will of the public towards his father, might have
had serious consequences for this ultra agent of
an Ultra Tory clique. An estate too ! An
estate to be settled upon him by the Legislature
in the name of the country ! Does this illustrious
Earl reflect on what would result from such a
settlement ? Is there a mechanic or a stone
breaker in the kingdom who would not in his
daily toil curse the profligacy of a Government
which should lend itself to such an arrangement ?
Is there a man of feeling to be found who would
not proclaim aloud his disgust at such a wanton
outrage upon the patient endurance of the people?
If, in these hard times, there are thousands
who think that the Legislature has been more
generous than it need have been, even to such a
man as the Duke of WELLINGTON, whose
military services were of the highest order, what
would be said if the KING were to be so weak
and the Government so criminal as to grant a
Dukedom to an individual, whose claims to dis-
tinction of any kind are of so peculiar a cha-
racter—if the Legislature were to decree the
apportionment of a part of the earnings of the

hard-working population to the purchase of an
estate for a man, who exercised his influence at
Court for the purpose of preventing the Reform,
from which the people expected political free-
dom, and of prolonging the dominion of an
Aristocracy whose profligacy fed on the produce
of the hard-stretched muscles of the working
classes ?

We have no personal to the Earl of
MUNSTER, and hope, for his own sake, that
the rumour to which we have alluded, and upon
which these remarks have been made, will not
prove so well founded as, from the quarter in
which we heard it, we should consider it
to be. It would have been much wiser in an
illustrious personage, and more consistent with
the duty of Ministers, perhaps, if all the persons
of a certain origin had been left in the private
station for which their birth designed them ; but
as the error, if it be one, cannot be remedied
without inconvenience, and is, after all, one of
little real importance, except as regards the
moral influence upon society, let the past rest.
But we must repeat our hope, that the Earl of
MUNSTER will be satisfied with the title which
he already bears, and with the liberal income
allowed to him by his father ; and that he will
not by his own imprudence render it necessary
for us and our contemporaries of the press to say
things which might appear harsh, and which,
being as true as they were severe, might inflict
pain where it was not intended.

We think it necessary, as several erroneous
statements respecting the intended railway com-
munication between Paris and the French coast
have recently appeared in some of the papers,
to state, upon authority, that no decision has
yet been come to by the French Government
with respect to the line. M. THlErts, the
French Minister, in whose department this
affair rests, distinctly stated on Tuesday last in
London, at the same time giving full permission
for the statement being repeated, that the report
of the engineers would not be made for two or
three months to come, and that, although cir-
cumstances seemed to indicate that the line of
communication would be with Dieppe, nothing
could be decided upon until the report of the
engineers should have been sent in.
Equally erroneous are most of the statements
respecting the proposed railway from London to
Brighton. For this there are two schemes—one
proposed by Sir JOHN RENNIE, the other by
his late assistant, Mr. VIGNOLLES, also an en-
gineer of considerable ability. The plan sub-
mitted by Sir JOHN RENNIE is for a railway
direct to Brighton, by Merstham, Crawley, and
Worth ; but, according to his line, a very large
and, we believe, unnecessary expenditure, would
be incurred for tunnels, and other excava-

Lions. This, however, if the affair should go on,
will probably be overruled, by the Provisional
Committee, who are men of business and who
would prefer the cheapness and utility of a plain
undertaking to a romantic expenditure for tun-
nels and other works, the only effect of which
would be to give celebrity to the architect. Some
of the parties connprtod with Sir JUUN RENNIE;

incline, we believe, to a line through Lewes
and Newhaven, with a branch rail-way to
Brighton; and this, if the port of Newhaven
were improved, would perhaps be the wiser
course, as Newhaven is several miles nearer to

the French coast, and the navigation is, at cer-
tain periods of the year, less difficult than from
Brighton to Shoreham. The plan of
M. VIGNOLLES, is to avoid Brighton,
and proceed direct to Shoreham, passing
near Horsham and Steyning. This would
be by far the cheapest plan, as for nearly
thirty miles there is hardly a hill of consequence
to be cut through ; but in that case the com-
mercial advantages of a railway, and which are
not the most important as regards Brighton,
would be considered in preference to the con-
veyance of passengers. We think the Pro-
visional Committee on Sir JOHN RENNIE'S
plan, and the supporters of Mr. VIGNOLLES
would do well to adopt the good parts of each
plan, and determine upon the railway without
regard to the whims of either of those
gentlemen. Having adopted the best parts
of the two schemes, they should then offer
the joint execution of the undertaking to
Messrs. RENNIE and Mr. VIGNOLLES, and,
in the event of their refusing to co-operate,
employ another person. They would thus avoid
the delay which must otherwise result from the
conflict between those gentlemen, and which has
already been of so much injury that a very limited
number of applications has been made for the
shares of either. It is highly improbable, as
matters now stand, that the projectors of either
line will be in a condition to apply to Parliament
for an Act next session ; but another year can-
not pass over without some progress having been
made in the steps which are necessary for legis-
lative sanction.

The French papers of Sunday, and the Ga-
zette de France and .Messager des Chambres,
dated yesterday, contain intelligence which, if
true, is of the highest importance to all Eu-
rope. They mention, on the authority of a
private letter, dated Ancona, the 11th inst., that
at nine o'clock on the morning of that day,
the Meteor, British Government steam-picket,
arrived at Ancona (having left Constantinople
on the 31st ult.) with despatches to the British
Ambassador, to the effect that—a revolution had

taken place in the Turkish capital—that 16,000
houses had been burned, and that the SULTAN
had taken refuge at Pera, where he was pre-
paring to defend himself I This news had, of
course, excited a great sensation at Paris, where
it was pretty generally credited. For our own
part, we are equally willing to believe it (though,
perhaps, the circumstances are a little exag-
gerated) for the wanton debasement of the Trea-
sury coin—the obnoxious reforms of the SULTAN
(who has contrived to extract poison from that
which in abler hands would have been an anti-
dote) and worst of all, his late cringing subser-
viency to Russian dictation ; and indeed the
whole state of Turkish affairs for the last two or

'three years, have been such as could not fail to
terminate in a revolution. Another reason that
induces us to give credit to this report—or at
least to some portion of it—is, that any fresh
disturbance in Constantinople cannot fail, by still
more weakening the Government, to strengthen the
Russian influence. The St. Petersburgh Ca-
binet has therefore an interest in fomenting
jealousies and discontents in Turkey; it was by
such insidious means that she was enabled to
maks her first appearance in Constantinople, and
it is such means that will now induce her to
repeat her visit. NICHOLAS well knows, that
what he does in the way of aggrandisement must
be done quickly. He has not a moment to lose.
Another year, and liberalism may have got such
an ascendant throughout Europe, that neither
his own, nor the Prussian, nor Austrian armies
shall be able to make the slightest head against
it. Despotism, if she wish to augment her
pernicious influence, must now take as her
favourite motto—" Strike while iron is hot."

By the private correspondence of a Morning
Cotemporary (which will be found in another
column) we learn that in reply to some obser-
vations of Lord WILLIAM RUSSELL, respecting
opening a negotiation with Don MIGUEL, Don
PEDRo replied that he would promise his bro-
ther nothing except a pension for life.

Nothing further has transpired respecting the
late arrival from Portugal. It is denied in
official quarters that the statement of the Fal-
mouth paper is well founded. It is, however,
certain that the British and French Cabinets
have proposed an arrangement between the con-
tending parties, and it is probable that the
despatches, respecting which so much mystery
has been observed, contained their respective
answers to the proposition.

The German Papers contain a dull, sophistical
article, dictated evidently by Russian influence,
tending to show how ungratefully the Poles have
acted in having presumed to make the slightest
outcry against the tender mercies of the Cabinet
of St. Petersburgh.

By the German and Hamburg Papers, we
find that the best possible understanding exists
between Austria and Prussia, the Emperor of
AUSTRIA having invited the King of PRUSSIA
to send a number of staff and other superior
officers to the grand military review which is
shortly to take place at Verona, which invitation
has, it seems, been accepted. By the last
accounts the Emperor of RUSSIA had reached
Munchengratz, where he was met and welcomed
by the Emperor of AUSTRIA.

Prince TALLEYRAND left his house in Ha-
nover-square this morning at ten o'clock, on his
way to Paris. Previously to his departure, he
announced his intention of returning to this
country at the end of the year; but we are still
inclined, from what we have heard, to believe
that circumstances will occur to alter his inten-
tion. His Excellency appeared in rather better
health than he had done for some days past.

ELECTION EXPENSES.---NIUCiI has been

said of the enormous expenses to which the provisions of
the Reform Bill would subject candidates. A positive
confutation has, however, been afforded in this borough.
The total amount of expense charged to each of the three
candidates at the late election for Macclesfield, by the
Returning Officer has barely exceeded 181. This in-
cludes hustings, poll clerks, stamps, return registration
fees, printing, advertising, &c. ; besides a sum of 101. for
the use of the National School-rooms.

Michaelmas Day this year falling on a Sun-
day, the Sheriffs elect for the city of London and county
of Middlesex will be sworn into office on Saturday next,
and proceed to the election of Lord Mayor for the year
ensuing.

BdRKE.—The conversation of Burke must
have been (says Mr. Moore) like the procession of a
Roman triumph, exhibiting power and riches at every
step—occasionally, perhaps, mingling the low Fescennine
jet with the lofty music of its march, but glittering all
over with the spoil.; of the whole ransacked world.

AMERICAN TURF.—The death of the cele-
brated colt Midas, by Eclipse, is mentioned in the New
York papers. lie was matched to run against Mr.
Johnson's Jessup, by Medley, for 10,000 dollars, to be run
over the Long Island Course in October. His death is
supposed to have been produced by the ball which is usually
given at the commencement of training sticking in his
throat.

The flies are so troublesome at Swan River
in the summer time, that it is very common for the gen-
tlemen, and even the labouring settlers, to wear a veil
over their face. The large brown maggot blowing fly, so
common at Hobart Town, is still more annoying in that
country.—Hoburt Town Courier.
An interesting occurrence lately took place at
the Ecole de Medecine. A young man, of an olive com-
plexion, speaking very pure French, though with a foreign
accent, underwent his final examination, and obtained
his diploma as a doctor. He is a Mussulman, born at
Cairo, and one of the Egyptians sent to France by
Mehemet Ali. He is the first Mussulman who has taken
a degree in Europe, at least since the revival of letters in
the west.

ANECDOTE.—An eastern tin pedlar having
fixed his waggon i❑ a shed—no matter where it was—in
Jersey city or at Hoboken—that is nobody's business—the
stable, however, was noted for keeping horses as lean as
Pharaoh's cows. As he walked from stem to stern, and
discerned the bones on the horses' rumps projecting like
so many small pyramids, says he, " Mr. Landlord, do you
make horses here ?" " Make horses here ?" says the surly
Dutchman, " what do you mean, Sir ?" " Why, f
thought as how you had just been setting up the frames I"
—New York Paper.

A destructive fire broke out on Saturday
night, about half-past ten o'clock, on the premises adjoin-
ing the mansion of W. C. Marsh, Esq., at Park Hall,
near Epping, and after raging with uncontrolled violence
for the space of six hours, the whole of the valuable out-
buildings, and a quantity of bay, together with several
stacks of wood, and a number of calves, were entirely
consumed. By the judicious directions of R. B. An-
drews, Esq., and Mr. Doubleday, with the asistance of
most of the inhabitants of the town, the flames were pre-
vented from communicating to the splendid mansion of
the former gentleman. The damage is estimated at
about 3,0001. ; the premises are understood to be insured.
The occurrence is supposed to originate with some incen-
diary.

ABSENCE 07 AUTHORS.—A literary con-
temporary bitterly complaining of the dearth of
new publications, says " all the monde of books
is on the wing : nobody in town ; nobody writes ;
nobody publishes. Bulwer is in Paris; Lockhart
in Aix•la-Chapelle ; Wordsworth and Southey in
Westmoreland; Lord Normandy in Jamaica; Mrs.
Norton in Broadstairs ; Mrs. Hemans in Wales; Miss
I'litford in Reading ; Wilson Croker in Geneva ; Crofton
Croker at Walhalla Green, or some other equally inac-
cessible region ; Telesforo de Trueba is in the Lk: of
Wight; Professor Wilson in Edinburgh; Delta Moir in
Musselburgh ; Pythagorean Macnish in Glakgow ; Bob
Montgomery in Lausanne ; Coleridge and Lamb in High-
gate ; Lady Morgan and Bowering in Brussels ; Alias
Edgeworth somewhere in Ireland ; Dunlop in Canada ;
Miss Bowels at Ryde ; Miss Roberts in Calcutta ; Haynes
Bayly and Banim in Boulogne ; Ikey Solomons in Botany
Bay. In the meantime we grinders of literary news are
obliged to remain upon the spot, and to spin like spiders
from ourselves the webs with which we expect to catch
that great fly—the public."
