obey.the law respecting the Land w:elir."

The declaration of their own teilow-citi7ens has
convinced those ‘vito have been misled of their
error, and caused the administration of the oa.h
to proceed without interruption. .
Order was fully restored on the 234, and has
been since undisturbed. Thespeedy return from this

momentavv faith is a new proof that the loyalty is
not yet diminished, which all Silesia, with the ca-
pital, have always shetvtt, pat tictildrly in the late
memorable years, towards the best of King's and
his august throne, and of which the nan.es of 132
sons of the capital, which are inscribed in our
churches, as having fallen-fur their country, is a
public testimony.
On the 23d, in the evening, his Royal Highness
Prince Augustus of Prussia, Coniniancler of. all
the Prussian Artillery, arrived here, and proceed-
ed next day to Schwiednitz.

SILESIA, AUG. 23.—The rioters who refused to

take the oath at Breslau depended (though er-
roneously) on the exemption which the citi.
zeus of Breslau formerly enjoyed, which, as

is well known, has been long since abolished
by the Landwehr Ordinance and the gene-
ral laws. Six citizens who particularly dis-
tinguished themselves by improper expressions, on
refusing the oath, were seized in the night and
conveyed to Nussc. A false report was spread,
probably with design, that the wives of two of
these persons had drowned themselves and their
children, in the river ; this caused the dissatisfac-
tion to break nut into acts of violence. Five
hundred or six hundred of this desperate mob as-

sernbled in two parties : one broke the winglows

of the Police Otter, the other attacked the Town
[HI ; the former then proceeded to the Hotel of

the Government, broke open the doors, destroyed
the windows and furniture in the rooms of the
High President, Merkel, tore some papers, &c.
The military now appeared, and soon dispersed
the mob. No cannon was fired, but the brave
Commandant contented himself • with dispersing
entirely the broken flying crowd by some strong
patroles, on which occasion some persons were
wounded or killed. One of the wounded, A jour-
neyman tailor, is dead. A battalion arrived from
Scbwiednitz, whiebbivonacked in the streets with
the military of Breslau. The ringleaders were all
taken, and the Chief President, Merkel, as well.
as all the Authorities, have conducted them-
selves in the most exemplary manner on this
occasion.

. FRoM THE MAINE, Auc: 27.—Some Journals
mention, as the cause of the arrest of Colonel
Massenbach, that he was said to have threatened
in case the Prussian Government would not, pay
him the sum of 11,000 earolines, he would have
certain private papers and important documents,
which are in his hands, printed in England,

presence of his Majesty and the Imperial Family.

Last night, about ten o'clock, a large caravan,
drawn by six horses, went from the Old -Bailey
filled ►vith convicts on their way to Woolwich, in
order to.be forn.thence transported. The poor
wretches seemed not at all depressed by the change
of country they were about to experience. As

. . .
the caravan proceeded down Ludgate-hill, they
shouted to their former c.ompanioni, a great group
of whom accompanied them on foot, and by the
activity they displayed in lansili:nt.as they went
along, appeared determined to ina-lie the most of
their farewell
