Grit:VA:4 LITEILATURXE.—. A periodical work,
Called Die Voizert, lately established at Cassel,
is rising into celebrity. M. Justi, author of some
excellent poetry; has supplied several historical
Pieces; which are arranged in. a manner that can-
not fail to please. At Creutznach; there is a
Publication entitled Barstellun' gen aus dem preus-
atrhett Rhein-und Morsl Lunde. M. Storck, the
editor and translator of .Ausonius, is the author
of this new work, which he has commenced by
the " Idyll of the Moselle," the oldest piece of
.writing relating to that fine district. This work
•containsicurious details on the middle age. There
is also a genealogy of the wine of the Rhine, not
an uninteresting- article for drinkers. There is
midi boldness and freedom in the manner in
which the author states his opinions. He says,
that clearly before the arrival'of the French, the
tithes, the corvee, the game laws, &c. &c. pre-
vented the- country froth enjoying any thing of
real prosperity ; but, that when the country was
annexed to France, an equality of rights was
established ; the goods of the church were sold
as national, and went to augment the comforts of
.the
middle classes of society. The conscription
.Was sometimesrigornusly.felt, but the high price,

formed in

At Brunn, in Moravia, a new

been established, called the Ftocr-Stundon. It
Is edited by the Baron de Biedenfield, author of
many elegant productions, and by M. Koffner.
Some of te most eminent men in Germany are

DUTCH LlTEakrurtE.---The state of Dutch
Literature is almost wholly unknown to the rest
of Europe, though they have numerous living
Authors: The language is not cultivated to any
extent by other nations, which certainly has con-
tributed to the total neglect of their literature.—
Litt though Dutch. Literature is of little value in
the eyes of other nations, the natives of Holland
are very far from viewing it in the same light, as
they consider themselves as a people eminent in
letters ; nay, one of their best living writers does
Dot scruple to place them at the head of every
Vier. nation in this respect. Speaking of the
French, English and Germans, he says, " Be
assured by me, my countrymen, that you are
greatly superior to all these nations ; they are as
ar behind you in polite Literature as they are in
every
b thing else, and have much to do ere they
"dine what you were two centuries ago.". Re-
cc M-
ar
cc would be thrown away upon this. Another
• reverend" writer goes, if possible, still farther,
In a dissertation upon the Dutch language, written
about three years ago. This Essay was corn-
' Posed when the controversy was hottest between
the Belgians and the Dutch, whether the French
or Dutch was to be the national language ; the
latter has since been established by the Govern-
went, and all public writings and public business
is now done in Dutch. This Author says, " I
,do-nut object to our noble and elegant language
being compared with the Greek and Latin, but
shall. for ever set my face against any man who
ray attempt to bring it down to the level of the
French, the English, the German; or any other
modern dialect:"
SWEDISH LITERATURE.-One of the most pro-
lific. and celebrated authors of Sweden is, unques-
tionably, the poet Ling, whose works deserve to be
knownt abroad by good translations. His beautiful
cragedy,
...!Ssful of the
" Agne," is considered to be the most suc-
productions of his poetical muse.—
tele is a master . of his language and style, and
fancy
an inexhaustible profusion, of ideas with
Isatney and originality. All his works bear the
a,rn. P of correct national character, and it is this
'Which makes him so dear to his country. His

a part appeared. in .1816., and,entitles us to -ex-
pect much from the remainder. On the loss of

Finland, which is still felt and deeply lamented
by'everrtrue Swede, Ling has composed an alle-
gorical epic., poem, entitled " Gylfe," which has,
however, met with less approbation than his.
other works, as the language is less noble and
exalted, "nay, even rather unpolished, and the
versification is deficient in correctness. On the

othey,hand, his idyll " Love" is very beautiful,
as well as his poems C 4 The Diet of 1527," and
" Eylif the Goth.". Ling studies aisiduOtbl3-
the history of his country,. and generally takes
his subjects from it. The following .are the
tragedies which he has hitherto published

44 En Brecht Eng'elbrechtson,"" Saint l3rigitta,"
" tlebrNenn47_,...". Blot, " Ipgja Id
Mn. has however composed several others,
'the publication of which is eagerly expeCted. Ling

_ .
has also attempted other branches of the drama;
hut he appears to be most successful in tragedy.
_ _ _ _

Thus he has published " 0 lof SkOtkonung," an
historical drama ; " Thorborg," an opera ; and
" Hjalmar," an erotic drama ; we have also seen
his poetical romance, " The Wonder." He is
nearly fifty years of age, and of a melancholy tem-
perament, as lie has met with many misfortunes in
the course of his life, none of which affected him
more painfully than the loss of a .beloved wife.
He is as perfect a master of the Danish language
as of the Swedish, and has published in the for-
mer, during his stay in Copenhagen, several small
poems, and also his " Neider," which were well
received. A Lady, too, has ventured on the
slippery paths of Parnassus. This Lady has
never publicly laid aside her incognita. But
the Poetess Euphrosyne is, in fact,a Airs. Asping,
a very amiable and accomplished woman ; the
chief characteristic of whose writings is naivete.
Her compositions have hitherto been published
in the " Poetical Calendar," which is edited by.
' the ingenious poet Atterborn, at Upsal; among
her poems, the " Lapland Girl" is distinguished
by its excellence. Mr. Afzelius, the court chap-
lain, and Professor Geyer, of Upsal, have pub-
lished together some beautiful Swedish ballads.
Afzelius has contributed to a new edition of the
" Edda," and has by this act done more service to
the literature of his country, than by the pUblica-
.tion of a few small poems of his own. B.ut his
" Journal for Friends .of Religion" met with
so little encouragement, 'that it went no farther
than the first number, though it contains several
excellent psalms. _ _ _ _

HYDRAULIC WEIGUINGMACHINE.—M.Henry,
an engineer of the French Royal Corps of
Roads and Bridges, has presented to the Aca-
demy of Sciences a plan for a new Hydraulic
Machine, the object of which is to weigh loaded
boats in the same manner as carriages are weighed,
by means of loaded scales. The machine, it is
said, will operate under water, without prevent-
ing the boats from continuing to float. This
new invention may be usefully applied to the
collection of customs on navigable canals.
NUMISMATICS.—A. Greek silver medal, lately
found among the ruins of Antiochia, and brought
from Aleppo to Paris, has the head of Demetrius
Soter, King of Syria, and that of a female. It
is singular that no other medal of this Monarch
presents the two heads. M. Hauetroche, in a re-
cent work, proves that the female head is that of
Laodice, the sister and wife of Demetrius I. ;
and that this authentically confirms the conjec-
tures of Visconti, respecting 'a fine cameo, (pub-
lished' in his Iconographic Grecque, Pl. 43,
N 0.27), representing both those personages.
PHYSIOLOGICAL PHENOMENA.—A few days
ago a gentleman in the neighbourhood of Glas-
gow, in preparing a frog for galvanic experiments,
was surprised to find that after the heart and
lungs were extracted, the animal lost none of its
strength, but on being set down leaped _about
with much ease and agility. 1-le next extracted
the stomach and all the remaining intestines. The
frog was then placed upon the ground, but still
continued to leap about with its usual power and
cheerfulness. The crural nerves were then laid
bare, and the animal put into a trough of water,
where it shewed itself to be an expert swimmer,
leaped on the ground, where it hopped about in
a lively manner till it was taken up, and its back
bone cut in two, when it instantly expired.
ARMENIAN •JOURNAL.—A Journal in the Ar-
menian language is now printed at the Armenian
convent at Venice.. This publication, the con-
tents of which are chiefly translations from the
Italian Journals, has a very considerable circula-
tion throughout all the Levant. At Constanti-
nople it has many subscribers, and has even found
its way into the Seraglio. The Hospodars of
Walachia and Moldavia avail themselves of it very
extensively for the political bulletins which they
are obliged to draw up every week for the Grand
Signior.
OITGANIC REMATNS.—The petrified remains of
a very large marine animal have been found in
a quarry on the top of a hill near Bromyard.—
They were unfortuaately removed from the
quarry by the workmen, broken to pieces, and
carried upon the roads in the neighbourhood.—
Only a part of them have, in consequence, been
preserved, yet sufficient to shew that the animal
to which they once belonged must have been one of
no cowmon kind or size. It appears to have lain
on the surface of a free-stone rock, and was co-
vered by a thick stratum of yellowish-coloured
marle. Never was the petrifactive process
mare complete; the different pieces are literally
masses of stone, only distinguishable as the parts
of an animal by their exterior form.

EINDECK, TuEsnt MonxiNc..--liis MA-
JESTY arrived at the hunting palace of his Royal
Highness the Goverpor,General yesterday even-
ing. It is called- itothenkirche, and lies about
'two English miles froth this. town. His Majesty

ravelled with speed ; and was received by the

people at each of the to,wns and villages- on the

route with*the best exhibitions of affection.

Pattensen, the young maidens of the-village met

.
the Royail carriage at the triumphal arch, when
they sung the .praises of the King. r Two' of the
prettiest of them presenta his Majesty with a
poem: his- Majesty took the children into his

carriage and gave them.,a. kiss each. .Es ery
village and town on the &ite was latirninated

in the evening.—The miners of his Majesty's
mines and the smelters of the Hertz mountains
came down to this place to display themselves
before the King. Their dress and their imple-
ments being such as are seldom seen in the open
day, formed a grotesque but yet an interesting
spectacle.

G6TTINGEN, TUESDAY EVENING.-7—The recep-
tion of his Majesty in this city, which possesses
one of the most celebrated-Universities in Ger-

many, was of the most interesting description.—
The University boasts of. having produced some
of the first scholars in Germany : its Professors
are now highly respectable, and the number of
Students exceeds a thousand. The bustle of the

town shewed that the Protector of the University
was expected ; and regulations were adopted
which pre'vented all disorder.—The Electors of
Hanover have for many years protected the only
Univeisity in their dominions; and the town
gives proofs of their exertions in its favour. Its
buildings, houses, and streets are superior even to
those of the metropolis of Ilanover.—llis Ma-
jesty left Rothenkirche soon after 9 o'clock, and
having passed' through Einbeck and Nordheim,

two pretty towns, arrived here about half past
eleven o'clock. On the route there were many
triumphal arches.. After his arrival, his Majesty
proceeded immediately to the Riding-school in
the exercise ground ; there was a splendid tribune
erected at the Western extremity.. It resembled
at a distance a grand triumphal arch, but on a
nearer approach the decorations of ancient armour
skewed that it was designed for some spectacle.
Over each *of the wings were the effigies of a man
clad in a coat of mail, with his visor down and
his lance erect. It was fitted up with every
convenience for sitting and refreshment.—On
the north and south sides benches were erected
for spectators, and cards of admission were given,
in order to prevent confusion. Eager to prove
their attachment to the King, the Students had
assembled from all parts of the kingdom, and
preparations were made by them to do him
every honour in their power. A •guard of ho-
nour was formed out of their body, who, splen-
didly dressed, proceeded to meet his Majesty as
far as Wende, and with his permission took
charge of the Royal carriage as its escort into
the city. His Majesty, having arrived -at the
entrance of the. town, where the Chief Civic
Magistrate and the Clergy were prepared to re-
ceive their King, was pleased to accept the key
of the city, and at the same time to take a poem
from several young girls who were stationed at
the triumphal arch erected before the entrance.
During the morning the students assembled in
groups through the streets, but when the hour of
the King's arrival approached, they all met by
the order of the Heads of the University in a
large court before the library; where they formed
into a line of four a-breast, and marched onward
to the house of the Pro-Rector. At their head
were three young men, chosen to bear the flag
of the body, which the Pro-Rector, at the door
of his house, handed to them. The Students
shouted a vivat ! and they continued their march
to the Riding-school. Having entered the exer-
cise-ground, they beheld the King standing in
the tribune ; they made their obeisance before
his Majesty, and then proceeded to take their
places on the benches formed on the southern
side of the ground.—The Riding-master of the
University then entered the ground, and ap-
proaching to the tribune, made his obeisance, and
asked permission to exhibit the mode of teach-
ing horsemanship taught in that school. The
King bowed assent, and a school horse was then
led into the ground, when the Riding-master
mounted him, and exhibited the precision and
regularity of the movements to perfection.—
After the termination of this exhibition, Mr.
Ayrer, the Riding-master, again approaching to
the tribune, asked permission to give a specimen
of his instruction. His Majesty having expressed
assent, ten Students of the University, clad in
the costume of the proud Knights of Castile,
mounted on well-trained horses; were introduced.
At their head was the Hereditary Prince Fugger :
they were divided into two parties; the second
being led on by the son of Baron Bremer, the
Minister at Hanover. Two quadrilles were then
performed with great exactness to the measure of
music.—Then came the Carousal. A band was
stationed at the end of the ground opposite to
the tribune, which continued to play suitable
airs during the performance. The Knights then
entered two by two, and each pair having pro-

ancient ceremonies, made obeisance to the King.
—They then galloped on and bore off the ring
with their lances. Having for a moment held
the ring on the point oaf the lance in the
air, the , Knight threw down the lance, and

seizing a. dart, smote off. the head of a saracen :
instantly loosening his pistol, he fired at the head ,
of a moor,.and it fell to the earth : the Knight
then quickly drew hiS sWord,,and piercing a sara-
cen's head,.bore it aloft in triumph through the:air.
he Knights next rode a complicated ballet,
according to the rules of horsemanship, and gave
equal proofs of skill, as in the former exercise.
The master of the school, Mr. Ayrer, next led a •
horse without a rider, which with long reigns, he
taught to move in several of the complex movd-
ments of the Spanish school.-L-By the command
of his Maje'sty, the professor of riding, *Mr.
Ayrer was called forward to the tribune, when
the King declared jo • him .hissatisfaction and,",
gratifiCation at the exhibition. The Duke of
Cambridge expressed himself also highly gratified.
Prince Fugger,.the leader of the band-of knights,
was next presented-to his Majesty, when his Ma-
jesty congratulated him on the skill which he
and his brother Knights had displayed, and de-
sired that he would express those sentiments to
them.' One of the Royal carriages, open at the
top, was then led into the Urals, in which his
Majesty took his seat, and accompanied by the
Duchess of 'Cambridge and the Landgravine of
Hesse Homburg, proceeded through the town, to
the Museum of the University. The applauses
of the people in every street announced the ap-
pearance of the Royal carriage. Having arrived
at the Museum, the King and the Princesses
alighted, and proceeded- to view the curiosities
of the University. While his Majesty was leav-
ing the exercise-ground of the riding-school, the
students, with one accord, shouted a vivat; they
then formed in the same order as on their en-
trance, and marched to the Court before the
Library and Museum, when they announc-
ed his Majesty's arrival with the same feel-
ings. The band Played Heil 1111SCIM Ktenig'
heil, and the students sung it aloud. The va-
rious Professors of the University, clad 'in their
robes, were presented to the King in the Mu-
seum. Every appearance of his Majesty through
, the windows was hailed with shouts of applause
by the students from without. After a delay of
about a .half an hour, his Majesty entered his
travelling carriage, and slowly proceeded out of
the town, amid the shouts of the people. An
escort of the student's accompanied the Royal
carriage for a considerable distance
,out of the
town. A salute was fired by the cannons on his
Majesty's leaving the gate. Preparations are
snaking for a general illumination, and various
devices and transparencies are now seen before
the houses of the town.

MUNDEN, WEDNESDAY.-Ills Majesty tra-
velled with the usual speed to Mundell, through
the most romantic part of the kingdom of llano-
ver, and arrived here early in the evening, as the
distance from Gottingen is mot more than 16
English miles. This is a most pretty town, and
from its situation may with propriety be called
the town upon the hills. it. was illuminated as I
entered; and the effect was very pleasing: The
triumphal arch at the entrance of the town was
splendidly illuminated.---His Majesty lodged in'
a private house in the town, heady opposite to
an old church, in which reposed the ashes of two
of his celebrated ancestors. In the course of the
evening a number of maidens assembled around
the house, and sung a beautifill and simple hymn,
in Ivhich an allusion to the renown of the heroes
.of former days was introduced to adVantage.----It
may not be uninteresting to mention that the
effigies of those men of ancient times yet remain,
and that they bear a strong resemblance to his
present Majesty.--This is the last town in
the kingdom of Hanover in which his Majesty
will stop for a moment. The boundaries of
Ilesse Cassel are within four or five miles
of this town. From this day therefore his Ma-
jesty will be on foreign soil ; and this day he
takes leave of the people of Hanover. That the
people of Hanover wish again to see hiM, • every
person who travels through the, country is well
aware ; that they love their King none can doubt,
although perhaps in expressing .that affection
they are not. clamorous. Possessed of the richest
language in Europe, they present to themselves
the picture of their own feelings in the strongest,
light ; satisfied.within themselves, they are not
clamorous from without.
CAsSEL, \V EDNESDAY EVENING.-Ilis Majesty
took leave this day of his Hanoverian subjects.
The Duke of Cambridge accompanied the King
to the borders, where the' Royal Brothers took
an affectionate
,leave of each other. The es-
cort of Hanoverian troops which had accom-
panied the Royal carriage returned. to Mutt-
den, and the Royal carriage was taken under
the- care of a troop of Hessian Hussars. His
Majesty drove rapidly into the beautifully
situated city of Cassel, and the Royal carriage
passed through the great square of the town, in
which several regiments of cavalry and infantry
were drawn up to do honour to the King 9( Great
Britain. The carriage drove to•the Palace, when
the Elector,' surrounded by his Court, most su-
perbly dressed, received his Majesty immediate-
ly on his entrance. llis•Majesty %vent up stairs

stairs as -his, Majesty was entering the cortiage.
" God bless you, my dear Kilmansegge," said
the King," until I see you again." The cars
riage then drove off.—The inhabitants of Hano-
ver expect the. arrival of his Majesty among theta
at a more favourable season of - the year. •To
judge.of the pleasitres of a residence among them
from three weeks spent in Hanover . the
month of October would .be an tinfi'zir crit:rrion.

in good health and spirits. He arrived
.here this
evening, after a pleasant day's journey through
a most beautiful country ; he intends to stop to-
morrow night in Coblentz. The-Hanoverian 111-
spector leaves the .King here. • The Prince of
Tour and Taxis .bits come to take. charge of .the
horses during the time that his Majesty continues
in the Prussian territories.
COBLENTZ, Nov. 3.—The King arrived he're
yesterday evening, after a pleasant day's journey
through a highly agreeable country, . Ilis .Ma-
jesty continues to enjoy good health and spirits.
The Royal carriage left Wetzlar at eight o'clock
on Friday morning, and having proceeded outl.
side of the town, stopped in order- to afford hil;
Majesty the means of reviewing a regiment of
Prussian Jagers, who were drawn up near the
road side for that purpose. The Prussian troops
are allowed by good judges to be in most ex-
cellent order. His Majesty was dressed in a
Prussian uniform, and ,looked very well. Oil
paSsing by Braunfels, the Prince of Sohn &ann.
fels waited on his Majesty, and paid those•ho.-
nours due to his Illustrious Visitor. The ap-
pearance of the country from the confines of
Hesse-Cassel to the Rhine is extremely romantic,
the woody hill and the cultivated valley, the _
ruins of castles, whence the bold Barons .of for,-
mer ages commanded the land around, and:the
dwellings of men who are now considered great
among their fellow-subjects, appear. in suCces-
sion, and leave an impression, difficult to. deli-
neate, on the feelings and mind of every tra-
veller whose thoughts recur to the past and
compare it with the present. Every town, evei'y
village, recals to the recollection scenes
past ages, hi which men of might and men nf
genius signalised themselves. It would have
been gratifying to every British subject, w
a spark of loyalty in his breast, to have heard
the praises bestowed on the. King by the most
disinterested observers—men of different countries
and different ranks, who had no purpose to
serve, and were in every respect impartial.
Amongst the expressions-of respect, that of the
Prussian General Officers to each other was not
the least remarkable—" Yes," said they," this is
indeed the King of Great Britain." At Marburg,
the Landgrave and Landgravine of Hesse-
Homburg took an affectionate leave of his %-
jesty, and proceeded to their, residence in :110111-
buT2,-. Immediately after his Majesty's auival
in Wetzlar, he was waited upon by. the Prus-
sian General Thielemann, so celebrated in the
battle of Lepsic, and by the Minister In-
gensleben, in order, on the part of
.the PlUS-
.sian Government, •to pay to him every honour
during his stay in the Prussian Rhenish provinces.
His Majesty arrived on the north side of. the
Rhine, at Ehrenbreitstein, early on Friday Leyeu-
ing, where he immediately entered the carriage
of General Thielemmann, and proceeded to view
the fortifications of Ehrenbreitstein, and of the
three other forts on the Rhine, beside the city of
Coblentz. The cannons from each 'fort,
.by a
Royal salute, announced the passage of the Mo-
narch of Great Britain over the Rhine. The sol-
diers were drawn out to receive him, and six thou-
sand men were under arms as his Majesty,entered
the palace of General Thielemann, where his
Majesty spent the night. This morning his. M-
ajesty left the town with the same solemnity as on
his entrance. Outside the town the Prussian re-
giments, with bands playing and colours. flying,
were prepared for being reviewed by his Ma-
jesty. These troops, which are highly remark-
able for their appearance, then marched in full
parade before the King.
CoLoGxt, SATURDAY NIGHT.---HIS Majesty
Afterwards proceeded in his carriage, accompa-
nied by the Duke of Cumberland, along the
southern bank of the Rhine towards Cologne,
ivhere he enjoyed the gratifying scenes for which
this part of the country is remarkable. At five
o'clock he entered the strongly fortified city of
Cologneovhere he now resides at the grand hotel,
and where every preparation has ..peen made for
his reception. Crowds of people now surround
the hotel.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

SPEECH OF THE KING OF FRANCE,

ON OPENING THE
SESSION OF THE LEGISLATIVE CHAMBERS.

On Monday last the KING of FRANCE opened
the Session of the Legislative Chambers with a
Speech from the Throne, of which the following

is a copy :
" GENTLEMEN,-It is always with confidence,
and, on the present occasion, under favourable
auspices, that I come to open this Session.
" In preceding years I was compelled to par-
ticipate my griefs with yon.
"'More happy now, I have only to return
thanks to the All-powerful for the constant pro-
tection which he has vouch,,afed to France. The
Son, with which !leaven has soothed my sorrows,
grows with the public prosperity, and continues
to _be to me a source of consolation and hope.
This : child, my heart feels confident, will be
worthy of us ; he will merit the love with which
my subjects surround his cradle..
" i4•'ly relations with foreign Powers have never
ceased -to be amicable and I have firm confidence
that they will continue to be so.

•4 Great calamities afflict the East. Let us
hope that they approach their termination, and
that the prudence and cordiality of all the Powers
-will find the means of satisfying what religion,
policy,-and humanity, may justly demand.
" The naval force, which, under these circum-
stances, I have stationed in the seas _of the Le-
vant, has accomplished the object which I con-
templated. Our ships have always effectually
protected my subjects, and often they have of-•
forded to misfortune a. timely aid. •
" A destructive scourge desolates a portion of
Spain ; I have prescribed, and I will maintain,
the rigorous precautions which protect our coasts
and frontiers from the contagion: •
44 If we take a view of our domestic state, what
motives have we not to bless Providence ? The
sensible progress of manufactures, agriculture, and
the arts, attests that of commerce ; and very soon
new channels, by multiplying the means of com-
munication and of traffic, will extend the general
good to all parts of the kingdom.
‘.c The prosperity of the finances, the
gible exposition of-the public accounts, and fide-
lity to engagements, have consolidated public
credit, and increased the resources of the State.

" The period at which I have convoked you,
and, the orders which I have given that the finan-
cial laws should be'first submifted to you, suffi.
cientlli manifest My deSire. to put an end to pro-
visional grants : the. Chambers will, doubtless, be
eager to secohd my intentions.
" Our auspicious situation, and the return of
internal and external tranquillity, have already
admitted of a diminution in one of the most bur-.
thensome of the taxes—that which attacks repro-
duction in its source, by overcharging landed pro-
perty. Next year, those so assessed will wholly
enjoy this reduction. I desire that successively,
and ns soon as the exigencies of the State and
the dignity of France will permit, the various
taxes which constitute the public revenue shall
be investigated, and, if it be practicable, dimi-
nished, or better assessed.

" The laws are respected, and the deposita-
ries of my power become every day more and more
imbuod with their spirit. Order and discipline
reign in the army.

" Everywhere passions are subsiding, and sus-
picions wearing away ; and it gives me pleasure
-to acknowledge, Gentlemen, that by your loyal
co-operation you have powerfully contributed to
all this good.
" Let us persevere in the wise measures to
-which such prosperous results must be attributed.
Let us persevere iu that unity of views, which
has so efficaciously defeated the vigilance, and
restrained the last efforts, of the spirit of trouble
and disorder.

"In this the repose of Europe is no less inte.
rested than ours. It is thus that all the generous.
sentiments will be developed with which
your hearts abound; and-that you will establiSh,
upon the gratitude, the love, and the respect of
my subjects, the Throne, which protects the li-
berties of all."

When his MAJESTY had concluded his speech,
the CHANCELLOR, having received the KING'S
orders, informed the newly-elected Deputies who
were present, that his MAJESTY would permit
them to take the oaths before himself. He then
read the formula, and the Minister of the Inte-
rior, calling over the names, each Member stood
up in his place, and replied by the words, " 1
swear."—The following was the form of the
oath :

" I swear to be faithful to the KING, to obey the Consti-
tutional Charter, and the Laws of the Kingdom, and to con-
duct myself, in all respects, as befits a good and loyal De-
puty."
The Deputies having thus taken the oath, the
CIIANCELLOIt announced, in the name of the
KING, that the Session for the year 1821 was
opened, and all of them were invited to assemble
on the following day, in their respective Cham-
hers, to commence their labours.

His MAJESTY descended from the Throne
amid the liveliest acclamations of Vivc Ic Rol !
which were prolonged for a considerable le►►gth
of time..

Salvos of artillery announced the return of hie
MAJESTY to the Thuileries.

NAPLES.

(EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER.)

" NAPLES, OCT. 16.—Last week Gen. Flit-
MONT submitted au important proposal to the
Neapolitan Government, offering to reduce the
• Austrian Army of Occupation to thirty thousand
men, and to charge himself with the care of pro-
viding them with subsistence and military stores
for the sum. of 4,000,000 ducats per annum.—
The prOposal received his Majesty's approba-
tion, and Count Orloff has been dispatched to
Vienna to obtain the concurrence of the Em-
peror of Austria, to the 'proposed arrangement.
The perfect tranquillity of the kingdom autho-
rises the reduction of the military force, and the
great diminution of expence which will result
from the measures in contemplation, will be a
very important and opportune relief to the King-
dom, and it marks at the same time a watchfulness
over the fluctuation of circumstances and a wish
to bestow every indulgence which is consistent
with safety, for which the Austrian Court is not
so much honoured as it deserves to
A short time since, the report of the contagious
fever existing at Marseilles and in Spain was
confirmed by news from Genoa, and orders were
consequently given that no vessel from Marseilles I
or from the Spanish coast should be allowed to en-
ter the Bay, and cruisers were stationed off Cape
Misenum to carry those orders into execution. :1
Danish vessel, laden with fish, from the coati( of
Spain, was sent back a few days ago ; and so strict
are the orders, that immediately on learning that
it came from Spain, it was ordered away be-
fore the name of the vessel could be ascertained.
It is eminently necessary to guard, by every
means that can be suggested, againSt the intro-
duction of a contagious distemper into such a
city as Naples, where, from the crowded nature
of the. population, from the stimuli of heat and
wine, from the ignorance of the' people, from
their poverty, their vice, their filth, and their
sloth, it would have its entire effect ; but
though every body must be fully aware of this,
still there is a great laxity in the
.quaran-
tine, and it is notorious that almost any indul-
gence can be procured by bribes, and that the
country ships smuggle goods into pretty nearly
every port in the Mediterranean. I will men-
tion one out of many curious facts which have
come to my knowledge respecting the quaran-
tine of Naples. An English vessel arrived in
the Bav, bringing a miscellaneous cargo, part
of which it had taken in at a suspected port ;
it was conseqUently gent to the latzuretto
sporco at Nisita, and compelled to perform sixty-
live days quarantine ; armed boats were stationed
round the vessel, and every precaution taken to
prevent its having any communication with the
shore ; but all this was en pure perte ; for on the
veryday that the vessel got into the Bay, and before
the Officer from tire Health Office had been along;
side, the Captain, by means of a bribe of a dol-
lar, got on shore, and visited several families be-
fore he returned on board."

SPAIN.

M kLiGA, OCT. 12.—A notice has been pub-
lished here, of which the following are the chief
passages :

" Inhabitants of the Province of Malaga !—The enemies of
their country take advantage of every circumstance to promote
t:ieir machinations.

" While the inhabitants of Malaga have been .agitated by the
fears of a malignant disorder, which has attacked a very small
number.of individual 4; and which the Authorities have endea-
.voured to stifle in its origin, and hope to extinguish, and an in-
creased number of families have emigrated through a prudent
precaution, the ill-disposed have spread the most absurd reports
for the purpose of exciting disordar, such as that c there was a
dreadful popular commotion in 3lalaga, caused by the approach
of an anti-constitutional army; that numerous armies of French,
Geirrians, and Russians, had entered Catalonia and Navarre to
dissolve the Cortes,' and other equally absurd tales ;—I there-
fore think it necessary to state, that Malaga enjoys the most
perfect tranquillity ; that the King and the Cortes are cordially
united for the good of the country ; that we maintain the moat
friendly relations with all foreign Powers ; and that those who
spread reports like the above. 'ought to be considered by you as
traitors, and denounced to the-competent Authorities, that they
may be punished according to law.
" MANUEL ROBLEDA.

" Malaga, Oct. 11, 1321."
SEvILLE, OCT. 14.—The Magistrates of this city have pub-
lished a notice, to contradict a report:that had been circulated,
of the yellow fever having manifested itself in the quarter of
Triana ; the patients who were supposed to have that disorder,
have been ekamined, and tOund to have only bilious feVers,
such as are conanon at this season.

MADR:D, OCT. 19.—The accounts received to-day of the
progress of the epidemic are not 'ao satisfactory as might have
been hoped. In Alalaga, there have been some persona sus-
pected of having the contagious fever, but it was generally be-
lieved that the evil would be extinguished, and for the present
no fears were entertained.

At Cadiz,
_there were only vague reports among some people,
but in general nothing was feared ; and from the lath to the 11th
there had been buried in that populous city only one child, one
woman , *andone man. .

, .
At San Luca: de Barrarne44 there was a report of the
fever. Precautions were taken against a suspected patient,
but it 'was soon found that the contagious disorder did not
exist:

At Puerta de St. Maria, the contagion continued, as appears
from the following statement :

At Barcelona and Tortosa, this dreadful scourge continues
to rage in the most frightful manner.

Note.—The last physician, D. Diego Deloni having fallen
sick, the Junta has not been able to receive die official state-
ment for Bare.elptiettalor the 12th : however, from the report
of the Comnoisary, it appears that the number of deaths has
been 29, as we have reckoned it, and the number of new cases
nearly the same as on the preceding day, A notice published
by the Board of Health mentions the arrival of the French
physicians, and speaks in the highest terms of their generous
philanthropy.
In the debate on the division of the territory, the following
articles were approved :
Province of Thlboa, capital Bilboa ; Province of Tolosa, ca-
pital St. Sebastian; Province of Vittoria, capital. Vittoria ; Pro-
vince of Canaries, capital St. Cruz de Te.neria ; the latter capi-
tal after a very long discussion..

SOLEM QUIS DICERE 1,4L5E171 AUDE.IT ?

LONDON,
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1821.

His MAJESTY was expected to land this day
at Greenwich, and proceed immediately to town.
Information to this effect was yesterday received
at Carlton Palace, and all requisite arrangements
have been made under the superintendance of Sir
BENJAMIN BLOIUMFIELD. It is reported that his
MAJEsTY will *non return to Brighton,. where
preparations are 'making for his reception, and it
is supposed that he will remain there till after
Christmas.

Dovra., Nov. 7.—The French packet, with

the mail, left Calais to-day later than any other
of the vessels, and the passengers by her report,

that soon after she left the harbour the guns be-
gan thundering away, and there is little, doubt
but it was a Royal salute in honour of the arrival
of His MAJEsTr, who may therefore be expect-
ed to reach England to-morrow. He was momen-
tarily expected at. Calais, in the morning having
passed through Cologne, Liege, Brussels, Bruges,
&c. &c.

We received at a late hour to day the French
Papers of Monday. An article from :Semlin, in
Hungary, dated the 18th of October, confirms
,the previous report of the Proclamation of the
Matti-Scheriff of the Grand Signior, throughout
the Turkish provinces, calling upon all Mussul-
mans, from the age of ten to sixty years, to take
up arms. Several couriers who left Constanti-
nople on the 9th of October, had arrived at
Belgrade, with this firman,. and others had
gone into the other provinces for the same put''.
pose. The troops of Asia are appointed to ren-
dezvous tlt Constantinople, and -those of• Euro-
pean Turkey at Salonica, TrawniCk-,'•Andrinople,
• •.
Silistria and Beiv ide; and it is reported that the
Finnan containable declara-tion of the avto
SIG iOR, that-his Highness considered himself as
being at war with 11w Russian nation and the G reek
nation; that the ekistence of Islamism and of his
State was in danger, and all true believers must
fly to arms in defence of those: objects. A Frankfort
article of the 30th October confirms the report of
the discontenti prevailing in Servia. The same
article states, that the Emperor of AijiTltlA has
prohibited any- Greeks from entering his domi-
nions who have taken part in the contest against
the Turks; and contrasts the Austrian policy
with the Conduct of .Russia, who has given an
asylum in Bessarabia to the Moldavian and Wa-
lachian Insurgents-, who have fled thither for re-
fuge. The friends of Greece, however, will re-
joice to hear that, according to the Nuremburg Ga.
:elle of the 09th Oct:, a great Power has recently
given instructions to its diplomatic agents abroad,
to grant passports to all persons applying to go
to. Greece, without inquiring into the object, of
their journey. We may therefore shortly expect

to hear of many distinguished military men being
in the ranks of the Greeks.

The intelligence from Spain in the French
Journals comes clown to the 25th of October. The
Corks are proceeding with the territorial law,
and the law relative to the National Militia.—
The Empecinado, Military Governor of Zamora,
has been replaced by G eneral CARTANO.—The
town of Alcaniz, in A rragon, has been the theatre
of some tumultuous scenes ; but order was re-
stored by the vigilance and activity of the police,
and the zeal of the Political Chief.—The second
in command of ZALnivAit's band has been taken
prisoner.
On the 23d the Members of the Club of the
Fontana d'Oro wished to make a triumphal
procession through Madrid in honour of General
RtEso, in consequence of its being St. Rafael's
day, and the General's Christian name being
RAFAEL. Some disturbances arose, but a regi-
ment of the guards soon dispersed the seditious
groupe, and several of the most active have been
arrested.

The Smell of the KING of FRANCE, in open=
ing the Session of the Chambers, will be read
with great interest.—Every one must rejoice at
the prosperous condition of that great Member
of the family of Europe, and at the gratifying
assurances which the KING gives of the progres-
sive consolidation of its institutions, and its pro-
sperity. As far as France is concerned, we
shall leave the Royal Speech to develope the
leading features of its situation without com-
ment. It is the passage relating to the great
struggle for the Independence of the Greeks,
which, with the intense anxiety we feel for the
emancipation of that suffering and heroic people,
has arrested the greater share of our attention.
On the interesting question of peace or war be-
tween Russia and Turkey, we are still left in
doubt. The King of FRANCE, however, IRIS ren-
dered it certain that the existing peace rests on
no secure basis, and that the boasted arrange-
ments for its continuance are not yet completed.
This confirms the views of the subject which we
have all along taken. The King of FRANCE still
only " hopes that the prudence and cordiality
of all the Powers will find the means of sa-
tisfying what religion, policy, and humanity
require." Their prudence and cordiality, how-
ever, have not yet, it seems, after so many
months, obtained from Turkey those concessions
and guarantees, whatever they may be, which
have been required of her. And do the move-
ments of the Porte Indicate a disposition to comPly'
with the demands made upon it, or.to resist them
by force? We have no means of solution afforded
but those of its extensive preparations for war,—
the assemblage of its forces from the most dis-
tant parts of its empire,----the calling of all Mus-
stilmans to arm,—and the retaining its troops em-
bodied, in defiance of ancient customs and regu-
lations, and at the hazard of exciting their dis-
affection and revolt.

Letters have arrived this morning, of a recent
date, from various parts of Spain; and those from
Tortosa bring the pleasing account that the rain
has already commenced in that quarter, owing to
which the fever has begun to abate.—The above
letters add, that the malady communicated to
the cattle, and out of 300 sheep only 75 re-
mained alive, in one week. Ten Friars, who
went to attend the sick, fell victims to the fever.

LIVERPOOL, NOv. 6.—General Don FRAN-
CISCO %%IVES, late- Envoy Extraordinary and
Minister Plenipotentiary from Spain to the
United States, arrived here on Wednesday in the
packet ship Amity, from New York. Don lII-
LARIO DE RIVAS SALMON, Secretary- to the Le-
gation, remains as Charge d'Affaires.'

S r.troc or WILLIAM 111.—DuaLIN.—We
hoped that iu consequence of the recommenda-
tion of the Lord Mayor, and the ROolutions of tl.e
Magistrates, the practice of decorating- the Statue
of King Wzr.r.iAm, in Dublin, would this year
have been abandoned. The custom is exceed-
ingly offensive to the Catholics ; find is produc-
tive of no real advantage, that we can see, to the
Protestants. It is true that it is as little pro-
ductive of any real injury to the Catholics; and
therefore, so far, the one party may contend for
its" continuance with as much she'w of reason as
the other for its cessation. But ,vihatever may
he the abstract insignificance to both parties, of
the custom of decorating the Statue on a particular
day, it is found to be practically productive of very
bitter and resentful feelings on the one side, and
perhaps of insolent triu.wph and idle exultation on
the other. It is therefore desirable, that, being use-
less in itsttlf, and mischievous in its consequences.
it should be entirely done away. If the Protes-
tants were required to relinquish any principle,
or even any real and substantial advantage over
LiWir C4tholic fellow-subjects, which they now

Possess, we should liat,e to examine the questicrl
with different views than are required for the
decision of this unimportant dispute about au
material matter of mere shew. We should have
to look, nut merely to the amount of the sacrifice
itself, but to its influence, in all its bearings/
upon the state of society, the civil and religious
Institutions of our country, tile present 4NY
of the Constitution, the future tranquillity
of the • State, and the permanent stabiliti
of tl►e Protestant fait}►. But none of these
considerations have any thing to do with the
propriety or impropriety of continuing. this of-
fensive decoration. The Constitution rent
the same whether the statue of WiLLIANt be de-
corated or not,—whethera few perverse Orange'
men succeed in placing the gaudy trappings ul►o"
it under cover of the night, or even if a Catholic
mob, availing themselves of the same mea►►s 01
privacy, should hurl it from its pedestal. It is,
perhaps, hard that the Protestants should be re--
quired to make this sacrifice of feelings at least
innocent if not laudable in themselves, and that

they should be expected to relinquish a custom
which, abstractedly considered, is perfectly harm'
less ;—but it is harder still that the peace of 014
country should be endangered, and the gracious
efforts of the Sovereign himself to introduce
habits of civility and good order, if not of heart/
reconciliation and mutual good-will, amongst Ogg
contentions classes of his subjects, should be
frustrated, by an obstinate adherence to a custom

which though innocent is of no utility,—perse'
verance in which can be productive of no good/
though it may lead to much mischief.—Naving
these views of the matter, we are truly sorry
to find from the Dublin Papers that the statue,
notwithstanding the exertions of the. MagistracY,
exhibited on Sunday last the usual Orange
trappings, which had been placed upon it, 1"
the course of the night, by a few unknown
persons ; but it may be hoped that this
imprudence will not be repeated, since ,tbc
great body of the Dublin Protestants have es'
pressed their unqualified reprobation of it, and
the %hole of the Orange Lodges have disavowed
all knowledge of or participation in a proceeding
which is, to say the least of it, equally opposed
to the wishes of the KING, to the determination
of the Magistracy, and to the suggestions °I.

common sense.

PoLICE.—We have more than once carefollY
perused Mr. MAINWARING'S pamphlet on this
important subject ; and we have heartfelt OW
snare in avowing that there is not one of his rely
sonings or suggestions from which 'we can vritll
hold our cordial assent. It is impossible, we
think, but that they should be adopted by Cr°-
veinment and the Legislature ; and confident we
are that a system of Police founded upon them
would speedily realize all the advantages expect'
ed by Mr. M.tINWARING, and which he has
pointed out in a manner most attractive and Se
tisfactory. The work does equal honour to his

head and to his heart,—to his feelings as a ma"'
his discernment and sagacity as a political phil()"
pher, and his integrity and experience as, a

power to transfer the whole of this laminuds
production to our columns, so convinced are ‘e
that every person by whom it is read will, witll'
ourselves, be satisfied of the soulidno,s

difficulty of making selections from a worl"
