GERMAN PAPERS.

ROMR, Nov. B.—Lucien Buonaparte and his
family suddenly returned this morning to Rome
front their seat Rufinella, near Frascati. The
foilo lug was the occasion of it :--Yesterday at-
ternoon, about four o'clock, Monseigneur Cunes,
Eddare di Nicota, a relation of the Buonaparte fa-
. roily, who petal a visit to Lucien at Rufinella; went
sto-take weralk toTtisculum,to view the excavations
'making there, when he was suddenly stopped by se-
veral men,and beaten and wounded. They consult-
ed together whether they should kill him or carry
lam off, but kept bins in their power about half
an hour after sunset. As Lucien's family were
'sitting down to table, Monsieur Cunes was miss-
ed, and servants with torches sent out in search of
him. They went to Tusculum, and loudly called
his name; mean time, however, the robbers pro-
ceeded against the house, and seized Lucien's Se•
•cretary, M. Cha.tillon, and two servants (pro-
bably they took the Secretary for his master) and
carried him off. M. Cunes had the good fortune
to escape during the tumult. Thismorning it was
reported that the notorious robber Barbone, of
Villetri, had made this attempt with 27 of his
gangi but .according to the testimony of some of
Lticien's people, there were only six men dressed
as peasants, without shoes, and with soles tied
ott (Cioccie), such as the very poorest class
-usually wear. The Papal Government congra-
tulates itself that Lucien escaped. What a Mass
'of suspicion woold have been raised against it, and
what political conjectures would have been excited
among the half, or ill-informed, by Lucien's dis-
appearance, and till he was found again. We
just learn, that the robbers, perceiving their mis-
take-in the person, have sent word that they will
be 'contented with 3,000 Roman crowns for the
ransom of their prisoners. The Cardinal, Secre-
tary of State; does every thing in his power to
remedy this want of public security, hut he is not
duly supported, and it is to be apprehended that
the Grits d'Armes (or Carabiniers), who are still
young, and the many raw soldiers, do not pro-
ceed with sufficient activity.

VIENNA, Nov. 16 —We hear that Madam Mu-
tat has obtained permission from the Emperor to
purchase from Count Fries the Lordship of Orth,
three leagues trom this city, though it is a Knight's
fief. It is said the purchase is made for her eldest
son, Achilles, Count of Lipano, so that the Ex-
Crown Prince or Naples will become an Austrian
Nobleman Madam Murat lives very retired, and
seldom accepts visits from the neighbouring No-
bility. She has been expecting Lucien Buonaparte
for these two months.
