An ordinance has been published to day respecting the
assistance and indemnity to be given to the Jews, for their
losses during the revolution. Prince Pashewitseh repre-
sented to the Council of Administration some time ago,
the necessity of considering the actual situation of the Jews
in the kingdom, observing, that in the war with the re-
bels, the Jews had been the faithful and zealous adherents
of the Government, to which they had rendered extraor-
dinary sery ces, and had on that account been in
every way prosecuted and oppressed, stripped of their
property, and ill-treated by the rebels, and it was therefor,
the duty of Government, now that order is restored, to
assist them, and to provide for the widows and orphans of
those who have perished. An ordinance contains various
regulations on the subject. The sum of 200,000 I),didi
fl.trins is assigned as an indemnity to the Jews.

We hear from Flushing that the road looks like a forest

In the " Memoirs of Linguet" there is a valuable do-
cument on the liberty of the Scheldt. It is the opinion
of the States of Zealand, in 1646, on the question of the
navigation of that river, which is still at issue between us
and Holland. The States-General were hesitating between
a durable peace and a mere truce. The States of Zealand
declared against a peace. "If peace is made (they siy)
the provinces, towns, and members of the Law Countries
must be allowed to enjoy the conreniencies and the advan-
tages which God and nature have granted them, and of
which they had the use and possession before the war,
without its being possible, on any ground, or under any
a pretext, to suffer the sta cles and the hindrancesintro-
duced during the war to affect them afterwards, BUT WHICH
MIGHT BE CONTINUED DURING THE TRUCE. Even
should it he attempted to stipulate to the contrary by a
treaty, all nations will recognise the injustice of it;
such a stipulation will he a constant source of disagree.
tnents and misunderstaidings—troubies will ensue in which
all the world will declare in favour of the said provinces
and towns, because such impediments are contrary to
commerce in genera!, and all those who frequent those pro •
vinces and cities are interested in the question."
Such then is the avowal of the States of Zealand, and
it is with this document in their archives that the Dutch
of our days maintain the justice of their impediments sti-
pulated according to them fur all eternity at Munster.—

VIENNA, AuG. 23.—The Messayer des Chambres,
in its number of the 15th inst. aehemently attacks those
who will not believe on its credit that war will speedily
break out. " Yes," it exclaims, " war is inevitable."
If the Messager had contented itself with this positive as-
sertion, it might have been difficult to give implicit credit
to such an authority. Unluckily it again adduces in
o taketsupport of its prophecy m aters which may excite some
doubts in the l mindslowi

If the 31essager pays a large salary to this travelling

FRANKFORT. AUG. 30.—The official paper of the free
city of Frankfurt, published to-day, contains—l. The
official promulgation of the resolutions of the Diet of the
28th of June, with the following addition :—" These re-
solutions, therefore, so far as, by Art. 62 of the final act of
Vienna, they are applicable to the constitution and rela-
tio❑s of this city, are hereby published, and all persons di-
rected to conform to them." 2. The promulgation of the
resolution of the Diet of the 16th, suppressing the Uni-
versal Political Annals, published at Munich, Stuttgard,
and Tubingen, and edited by C. Von Rotteck, because
they are contrary to the maintenance of peace and tran-
quillity in Germany, and to the dignity of the Confedera-
tion ; prohibiting also M. Von Rotteck from editing any
similar publication in any of the states of the Confedera-
tion for five years, and calling on the several Governments
to enforce this decree.—Frankfort Papers, Aug. 31.

Press of matter prevented us from noticing
the particulars of a Bow-street Police report,
which appeared in The Sun of yesterday, but
which must not be suffered to pass without a
word or two of comment. The circumstances of
the case are as follows :—Mr. COULTMAN, a
Magistrate of enormous wealth in Lincoln.
shire, was proceeding on Tuesday evening
in a cabriolet along Pall-Mall East, when " a
fashionably-dressed, lady-like fema'e," by name
JEFFREY, " came up, and forced herself into the
vehicle. In the struggle to put her out, she tore
his coat. She was in the habit of annoying him in
the street, but as he entertained no vindictive feel-
ing towards her, he merely wished that she should
be bound over to prevent a repetition of such
conduct." The above is the substance of the
plaintiff's statement, as it appears in the report.
Let us now see what the defendant says :—" She
denied that she had been guilty of any assault,
and said, that if the coat had been torn, it was

the c of accident and not dcsign. The truth
waseit Mr. COULTMAN had himself ap-
pointeu to meet her where the occurrence took
place, and she went to the side of the cabriolet
for the purpose of reminding him of his pro-
mise, when he directed the man to drive on, and
in order to prevent her leg from being broken,
which would most probably have happened from
the situation in which she stood, she threw
herself forward into the vehicle, from which the
defendant threw her with great violence
and if some persons in the crowd had not caught
her before she fell, she would have been se-
riously injured." This statement by no means
satisfied the Magistrate, and accordingly the de-
fendant was ordered to find hail for the assault.
But it is not so much the decision (though the
propriety of this is far from unequivocal) that we
complain of, as the abrupt way in which Mr.
ROE stopped the defendant, whenever she ven-
tured to urge any thing which might throw light
on what otherwise cannot but appear a most
mysterious and unaccountable assault. He
would hear nothing that was at all likely to im-
pugn that high sense of wisdom and morality
which one Magistrate always possesses in the
estimation of another. When Miss JEFFREY
made some awkward allusion to the plaintiff's
promise about money matters, the Magistrate re-
plied, '' I have nothing to do with that. Have
you any witnesses ?" On which the defendant
brought forward Miss CAROLINE JEFFREY,
who stated that " her sister went by appointment
to meet Mr. COULTMAN, who had promised to
come to a settlement with her, after an ac-
quaintance of six years." The rest of the case
we give in the words of the report :

" Mr. ROE-Be good enough to come to the point
Did your sister tear his coat? Witness—No; she made
no attempt to tear his coat.

" Mr. ROF.—But she had no business in the cabriolet.

" Witness—She had business with Mr. Coultman, who
had pledged his honour as a gentleman to meet her that
evening. She merely mended to ask him why be had
not come to the settlement he had promised, when he
pushed her rudely out of the cabriolet, and caused her co
be confined all night in the station.

" Mr. Roe a'ked the cabriolet driver if the defendant
tore the complainant's coat ? The driver replied in the
affirmative, and said that the gentleman was obliged to get
into a hackney-coach.
" Mr. ROE must call upon the defendant to put in bail.
" Miss Jeffrey, unfolding a large bundle of letters hoped
that the Magistrate would alllow her to state the circum-
stances of her connection with Mr. Coultman, who had
acted -

" Mr. ROE would not hear a word upon the subject. He
had nothing to do with the private circumst awes of parties
who came before him on a public charge, nor would he
ever consent to hear them.

" Miss Jeffrey—l suppose, because Mr. Coultman is a
MagistrAte I am not allowed to speak.

" Mr. ROE.—You must find bail."

The moral that we draw from this case is, that
when a rich, influential Magistrate happens to
find himself a plaintiff, and a poor, friendless
female a defendant, at a Police-office, it is wholly
impossible that the former can be in the wrong,
or the latter in the right. The one may say
what he pleases, the other has barely license to
speak. Pretty thing, indeed, if the dignity of
the Bench is to be jeopardized by the ugly, in-
solent, dry, matter-of-fact statements of a friend_
less, and, what is worse, a poor woman But
Mr. ROE may rely on it, that these sort of re-
flections are pretty nearly worn out. The
season of Magisterial impunity is fast drawing to a
close. A day is coming when truth will be truth,
and make its way as such, even though spoken
by a poor against a rich individual. The peo-
ple have at length made the wholesome discovery
that Magistrates are not always Solomons, but
that they can sometimes be as wooden in their
intellects as the bench on which they sit.

The only man who seems to have taken a right
measure of the true Magisterial capacity, is
FIELDING. He knew it well, and has left his opi-
nions on record. We are sorry to say that the
breed has not improved since his time. It has
degenerated neither into wisdom nor quick-wit-
tedness. The same ridiculous assumption of
authority, the same superficial acquaintance with
the letter, and total ignorance of the spirit, of
the law that characterized the provincial and me-
tropolitan Justices of our great novelist, still
characterize those now flourishing among us.
Of course there are many brilliant exceptions,
but the majority still continue, by their acts, to
impress on us the conviction, that though Magis.
terial wisdom may expire, or become obsolete,
Magisterial folly is immortal ;

" For born a goddess, dulness never dies."
