GERMAN PAPERS.

VIENNA, SEPT. 29.—Private letters from Prague state
that Charles X. had suddenly quitted that city, and gone
with the Duke of Bordeaux to Graetz, in Styria. It seems
that the King was apprehensive of being disturbed in his
retirement at Prague by the many young men corning from
France, and on that account went to Graetz, where a
palace has long been prepaeed for his reception. The
Duke of Bordeaux, accompanied by some officers of his
household, set out a few hours before Charles X. The
Duchess of Berry, whom I. de Montbel met at Bologna,
will now probably ,Y 1 at Graetz instead of coming to
Prague. The Duchess is accompanied by Count Luc-
chesi Palli, her husband. M. de Chateaubriand had
arrived at Prague some days before, and had the
honour of being presented to King Charles X. We
do not know whether he will follow the King or return
to France. The Duke of Bordeaux attains his ma-
jority to-morrow, an event which, if not celebrated pub-
licly, will be actually so in the hearts of his adherents.
The friends of legitimacy have great expectations of this
young prince. They affirm that he manifests uncommon
intellectual powers, and a firmness of character very un-
usual at his age.
We expect here Count Munch Bellinghausen, from
Frankfort, after whose arrival it is probable that some-
thing will be decided respecting the conferences on the
affairs of Germany.
The Russian Aulic Councillor Van Paggensuhl has ar-
rived here from St. Petersburgh ; he is going to Madrid,
with a special mission, it is said, to the Court of Ferdi-
nand VII.
We receive more satisfactory accounts from Italy, and
it is hoped that the people's minds will be gradually
calmed, and the ancient spirit of order will return. It is
true that it will he necessary constantly to have a watchful
eye to the incessant efforts of the Revolutionists. These
men leave nothing untried to mislead the great body of
the people, and if they have not yet attained their object
in Italy, the fault is certainly not theirs, but it must be
ascribed to the good sense of the lower orders. The French
Republicans are particularly active in Italy ; they be-
lieve, that if they could succeed in procliirning a Republic,
then the throne of Italy or France might be very eadilv
overthrown.

NAPLES, SEPT. 15.—The Court Gazette announces
the arrival of Prince Cat adza, Greek Councillor of State,
who has been presented to the King as Ambassador Ex-
traordinary from King Otho. The special object of his
coming is to return thanks for the friendly mission of
Prince Bulera to Napoli.
VENICE, SEPT. 26.—Her Royal Highness the Duchess
of Berry, travelling incognito by the name of Duchess of
Sagana, arrived here yesterday with her suite. On the
following day she visited the most remarkable public
establishments, curiosities, &c.
VIENNA, SEPT. 30.—Five per Cent. Metalliques,
93 11-16 ; Four per Cent. ditto, 83 7-16 ; Bank Shares,

VIENNA, OCT. I.—According to letters from Brunn,
in Moravia, the Emperor, when present at the manoeuvres
executed at the camp of Touran, arrived at a place satu-
rated with rain to such a degree, that his horses' feet sunk
(1, ep into the gtound. His Majesty in attempting to ex-
tricate himself was thrown from his horse and received
some slight contusions on the foot and knee. After
changing his garments, which were wet through, the
Emperor again mounted on horseback, and attended the
manoeuvres, which lasted more than three hours longer.—
Austrian Observer, Oct. 2.
Musitru, SEPT. 30.—His Royal Highness Duke Au-
gustus of Leuchtenberg arrived here yesterday morning.
Baron V. C-tto, our Ambassador at London, is expected
here in a few day'.
The Crown Princess of Prussia, who is to stop to-night
at Landshut, will pass through Munich to morrow, on her
way to Tegemsee to visit her mother, the Queen Dowager.
SPIRES, OCT. I.—The new Journal of Spires says :
--4. According to accounts from Durkheim, an affray,
attended with bloodshed, took place on the 28th ult.,
between the citizens and the military. M. Von Stengel,
the President of the Circle, went thither in person."
The Spires Gazette of the 3d October says, however,
The affair at Durkheim on the 28th seems to
have been quite insignificant. According to what
we hear, the quarrel was not with the military, but
between some gendarmes and citizens, in which one per-
son was wounded.

It has been confidently reported for some days past,
that the 2d Binalion of the 15th Regiment of Infantry,
now in garrison at Neustidt and Durkheim, will be with-
drawn from the Circle of the Rhine.—Frankfore Papers,
Oct. 5.

Major Napier, brother to Admiral Napier, is
about to take the cotnmand of a regiment of 1,000 men,
to be called " Napier's Highlanders," and will proceed at
once to Lisbon.

UPPER CANADA.—The population and
wealth of this province are rapidly increasing. TLe Os-
wrya Palladium says that the sum of 600,0001. was de-
posited in the b inks of Upper Canada at York by the
emigrants last year; and adds, that there are 25 steam-
boats belonging to the province, and that other first-rate
boats are building ; that the towns and villages are in a
most flourishing condition, &c. The Welland Canal and
other public works have powerfully advanced the pro.
sperity of the province, which, while being an outlet for
a surplus population in England, is also becoming a
valuable consumer of English manufactures. A large
part of the produce of the North Western Stites and
territories now passes into Canada to Montreal and Quebec,
in aid of the navigation interest and maritime power of
Great Britain.—Baltimore Register, Slit. 7.

RAMSGATE, OCT. 7.—An unfortunate and
fatal accident occurred near this town on Thursday
Two me❑ were engaged catching wild rabbits on the
West Cliff, near the residence of Sir W. Garrow, when
one (of the mine of Piddoch), standing on the edge of the
cliff, and directing his companion bow to fix the nets, sud-
dully lost his balance, and in one moment was precipitated
to !he bottom, a depth of 50 feet, and nearly dashed to
pieces, the unfortunate man having pitched on the crown
of his head. An inquest was held on the body on the
following d iy, when a verdict of Accidental Death was
returned. —X entish Gazette.

HEALTH OF THE INHABITANTS OF LON-
notc—Sir A. Carlisle, in his evidence before the Factory
Commission, thus accounts for the comparative good health
of the adult population of London :—" The great mass of
the population of London have been brought up in the
country. 1 would venture to say that half the shop-keepers
and artisans in London have been born and bred in the
country, and come to London at or after maturity to seek
their fortunes, and to obtain their livelihood, or to assist
some of their relations or connexions. Such persons
will go on for a consPerahle time without suffering much
from the injurious effects of a confined city, or from an
unhealthy occupation ; but take an infant born and bred
in London, and subject it to all the same vicissitudes,
and that child will invariably become unhealthy."
By the orders of the Commissioners of the
Metropolitan Police force, the station houses of the
respective divisions have each been supplied with a
stretcher, or sedan carriage, for the purpose of con-
veying, with the least possible delay, persons who may
meet with accidents, or otherwise receive injuries in
the public streets, to the hospitals, or nearest places
ezrhere the required assistance can be obtained. This ar-
rmneement has long been wanted throughout the metro-
.podis, where the most serious accidents are of almost daily
;occurrence, and many lives have been sacrificed in conse-
,quence of the delay that has occurred in procuring the
,r(o,a,ns of conveyance, rendering sail gical aid when obtained
ineffectual. The machine in question is the carriage part
of a sedan chair without the body, formed of a suitable
length, and much similar to the handbarrow now used fur
carrying pictures, looking glasses, &c. It allows the pa-
tient to be laid at full length upon a sacking, or in the
easiest position the injuries he has sustained may require.
A pillow is placed for the head, and two straps from the
outward frame work pass over, and prevent the body from
rolling off. It is very light, and can be quickly carried by
&so men with straps over their shoulders.
A few days ago some children were playing
in the Kent Road, near Blackheath, amusing themselves
with tasking grottoes of oyster shells, and, in order to
give effect, one of the children went home and begged of
hiy mother to Let him hake two old pictures that were
tscut thconsidered* house, and but us useless lam-
lylPg a- • their grotto. This was readily granted, and

them for 1,400/., and they have since been sold for eon-
siderably more. _

LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 11, 1833.

In another part of The Sun will be found the
Revenue 'returns for the quarter just ended. As
we stated yesterday, the result does not afford
matter either for exultation or regret. There is
a decrease on the quarter of 253,2761., and on
the year, of 380,420/. Under all the eiretn-

stances of the reduction of taxation, the diminu-
tion in the Customs owing to non-importation of
corn and other causes, we think the deficiency of
no moment. The principal decrease this quarter
has been in the Customs, which is partly coun-
terbalanced by an increase in the Excise, Stamps,
and Post-office. When the affairs of Belgium
and the Peninsula are once arranged, we may
expect a large increase in our Customs, for the
unsettled state of those countries has long
curbed that spirit of enterprise for which our
merchants and manufacturers are so celebrated.
We may also hope, by a new and more equitable
modification of our system of taxation in the
next session of Parliament, that the springs of
industry will be so much relieved as to add to
the revenue of the country, while the comfort of
the people generally will be greatly promoted.

The Paris Papers of Wednesday mention that
the reports circulated at the Bourse, on the pre-
vious day, about an insurrectionary movement
at Madrid in favour of Don CARLOS, were
wholly destitute of foundation ; and that the
disturbances which broke out at Bilboa on the
news of FERDINAND'S death, were very partial,
and suppressed with little or no difficulty. The
Constitutionnel says, that General HARISPE
has already been appointed to the command of
the corps of observation in the Pyrennees, and
that a corps of 22,000 men is to be sent into
Biscay. The French Funds have improved
One and a half per cent.

—Coors iluthentique.

The Temps, a Paris paper, which is usually
well-informed as to the intentions of the French
Cabinet, states, that orders have been transmitted
to direct upon the line of the Pyrennees several
corps of troops which the late dread of a move-
ment in the south had caused to be placed so
near the frontier. Thus, says the Temps, the
turbulent Legitimatists have been unconsciously
promoting the views of the Spanish QUEEN.
These troops are not to be united in one
body except in the event of any positive inter-
vention becoming necessary, such for instance as
BOURMONT and the Legitimatist officers placing
themselves at the head of the Spanish Carlists,
in which case the French troops are to enter
Spain.

Several Prefects in the south-west of France,
whose fidelity is doubtful, are to be changed.
According to the statement of the Temps,
M. de TALLEYRAND and Marshal SOULT
have both declared for active and vigorous
measures, and the temporizing portion of the
Cabinet were left in a minority. Time will
show.

We refer our readers to another column for
an account of the meeting of the Greek Bond.
holders yesterday, to consider the letter of
Prince SouTzo, conveying the refusal of his
Government to recognise the loans, by means of
which his master has been provided with a
throne, and the Greeks established in their in-
dependence. This letter is a curiosity in its
way, from the singular mixture it presents of the
shuffling of the pettifogging lawyer, and the bare-
faced impudence of the piccaroon. It amounts to
saying, "We won't pay ; and, further, you
have no right to ask for payment, because, when
the loan was made, we gave you besides securi-
ties which still remain, others no longer available."
To an honest tradesman accustomed to pay his
debts this reasoning may appear weak ; but we
really think that it deserves some degree of praise.
Any attempt at reasoning on the part of a man
who stops you on the high-way, shows him to
be ashamed of what he is about. The Royal
Government of Greece contrasts somewhat
badly with the Republican States of Ame-
rica, who made loans under precisely simi-
lar circumstances ; but let us hope that
the excuse which accompanied the avowal
of the intention to rob the bondholders may in
time grow into an acknowledgment of their right.
Any one that lends the Greek Government a
farthing till that acknowledgment takes place
will deserve to be Prince SouTzo's shoe-black.

A Paris correspondent of that extremely en-
lightened Journal, the Morning Herald, writ-
ing " in the spirit of the Paper," has sent a long
tirade against the practice of Englishmen visit-
ing foreign countries. Our contemporary often
exhibits curious specimens of that kind of wis-
dom which dictated to Queen ELIZABETH the
imposition of a restriction on the building of
houses near London, " for fear the head should
grow too large for the body ;" but that of this
morning exceeds, in the richness of its absur-
dity, any thing it has for a long time published.
The Paris correspondent, after desiring to have
recorded, in capital letters, the fact that there
are more English in Paris at the present moment
than ever there were before, exclaims—
" Let the tradeFmen of Lond-street, Pall-mall, Regent-
street, Oxford-street, and Piccadilly, while sitting in
their deserted shops, read the above, for it is true. Let
them ponder on it, and let them tell the starving artisans
depending on them for employment and bread to complain
of that crying evil, absenteeism.,
The writer has evidently made a mistake in

his streets. He should have invoked the
" tradesmen of St. Giles's, of Billingsgate, of
Saffron-hill, and Shoe-lane, while sitting in
their deserted shops," &c. How the misprin t
could have been made it is difficult to conceive,
for the tradesmen of Bond-street, &c., know very
well that if there was no such place as Paris in
the world their shops would be deserted at this
season of the year ; and the " starving artizans
dependant upon them for employment," suffer
just as little from the desertion of the West End
shops now as they have done for the last two
hundred years. We may observe, by the way,
for the benefit of the Herald's correspondent,
whose constant residence abroad may excuse his
ignorance of the fact, that there are at present no
artizans starving ; that the great bulk of our ma-
nufacturers are, and have been for some months,
in fuller employment than they were for a year or
two previously. Perhaps they are working up
goods to pay for the articles our countrymen are
consuming in Paris ! We suggest the point
for the consideration of the Herald's corres-
pondent. In the mean time, with praiseworthy
self-devotion, he throws out the following hint:—
" Let some patriotic Member of Parliament, early in
the next Session, move for returns (as far as they can be
made out) of ' the number and quality of absentees from
all parts of the United Kingdom;' the amount of money
drawn thence by them and spent on the Continent;' the
number of them who shall have ruined their fortunes, their
credit, and their principles, by a residence abroad ;' the
number of females whose reputation for purity has been
(not lost, for that would be invidious, but) enhanced by
intercourse with the Continent ;' the number of British
females who have married foreign scamps, schemers, and
swindlers, and been made consequently wretched ;' and
having obtained or been refused these returns, let the
same Member of Parliatnent move for a Committee to
inquire into the best mode of (not preventing emigration,
but of) preventing the impoverishment of the country by
the continual and increasing drain of money by absentee
proprietors.'"

Here is the rock upon which the patriotic
writer has wrecked his judgment,—" the im-
poverishment of the country by the continual
and increasing drain of money by absentee pro-
prietors." This continual and increasing drain
has been going on for some hundreds of years ;
but if what has been " drained out of the
country" only since the peace were added up, it
would, upon the principles maintained by our
contemporary, amount to a sum of nearly a hun-
dred millions, the benefit of the expenditure of
which has been lost to our artisans. If the
Herald correspondent would but consider how
his own salary is made up, he would at once see
the fallacy under which he is labouring. As
England does not grow gold to send him in
return for his valuable correspondence, hove
does he think the " money" he undoubtedly
receives is obtained ? The proprietors of the
Herald, or some one else for them, have, in
the first instance, to sell British manufactures
somewhere abroad in order to obtain what is
agreed to be received among civilized nations as
the representative of labour. In other words,
he exchanges his labour for a certain portion of
the labour of those who read the Morning
Herald. Neither party has a right to complain
as long as the exchange is made by mutual con-
sent. In the same way every other English-
man at Paris has to pay for the goods he
consumes there ; that is, for the labour of other
people by his own labour. The money
an Englishman takes with him to France
is merely the representative of his la-
bour, for he could not have obtained the
money without labouring for it. The question
is, then, whether a man has not a right to do
what he likes with the produce of his own
labour ? To say that he is a fundholder or
landowner, is merely saying that he or his fathers
have saved their labour and lent it to the state, or
have embarked it in the particular fcrm called agri-
culture. But then the Paris correspondent objects
to the way in which people spend their money
(that is, the representative of their saved labour)
in France, and draws the following picture of
life in Paris

" Let but a deputation of the West-end tradesmen (in
particular) visit Paris at this moment, and if at every
step they take they meet not with former customers in
crowds, at every shop they enter if they see not English
people purchasing as if possessed, at every theatre if they
see them not occupying stalls and other of the most ex-
pensive places, if they find not alt the taverns, hotels,
lodging-houses, job carriages, and horses, grooms, foot-
men, and other servants, filled, hired, and empl, yed by
them, and by them nearly exclusively—if, I say, these
things be not seen, I shall be content to be set down for
the most arrant retailer of falsehood that ever wielded pen."

He thinks it a monstrous thing that people
should thus exchange their labour ; but as long
as they are content to do so, what right has he,
or any one else, to complain ? We may think
his communications from Paris not worth the
paper they are written upon,—we might declaim
against the ignorant folly of sending him 3001.
or 4001. per annum of " English money to be
spent in France," for lette'rs, which, if they have
any effect at all, can only be mischievous ; but
as long as the English readers of the Herald
are content to send a portion of their labour to
France for a portion of his labour, it would be
absurd in any one to interfere legislatively be-
tween them. We may think that one side has
not made a very good bargain; but it is tho
affair of the contracting parties, and of them
alone. The story the writer tells about an
" uncommonly fine young man—tall, well made,
much known, and generally liked," who, being
a native of Dublin and inheriting a tolerably
large fortune, gambled it away, is as little to the
purpose as the rest of his letter. But we
must now bid our absentee arguer against ab-
senteeism farewell. There are, thank God, few

in this country, except a►nongst time most ignorant
of the community, likely to be convinced by his
reasoning ; and we trust that even in France,
where the light of political science has spread
even more slowly than with us, there are not
many who will consider his communications as
indicative of the feelings generally entertained
towards that country by this. The good accord,
the friendly intelligence of two great nations,
cannot, at the present age of the world's wisdom,
be disturbed by the railing of monopoly or the
rant of Toryism.
