GERMAN PAPERS.

HAGUE, AUG. 13.—Our Journals contain a very
long programme of the ceremonies which are to
take place on the baptism of the infant Princess of
the Netherlands, on the 18th of August. The
young Princess and her august mother ate in good
health.

It having been reported that the epidermic disorder
had again manifested itself in Groningen, we think
it our duty to inform the public that this is not the
case; and that in the first six months of this year,
and the first two weeks of July, be number of
births in that city was .599, and that of deaths 488;
and the proportion has remained equally favourable
up to the Bth of August.
Accounts from Vienna of the Ist August, say
that the recruiting for the army has recommenced ;
the provinces, exclusive of Hungary, are to furnish
40,000 men ; the purchase of 8,000 horses is also
ordered, but no doubt is entertained at Vienna of
the maintenance of peace.

ST. PUTERSBURGH, JULY 30—NEws FROM THE
ARMY
OF THE CAUCASUS.-^—FROM GU3IRY, ON
THE TURKISH FROSTIER 9, JUNE 26.—The .
vil-
lagem
of Gury was apointed as - the rendez-
votiA for beginning the military operations against
Asiatic Turkey. This village Is in Schuragel, on
Ithe river Arratchai. Here the troops were assem-
bled, all the magazines collected, and heavy artillery
the Persian campaign, has beet: sur-
rounded with a wall and toastions,
1; ut in order. The_ place, Nv hi eh was entirely.de-
stroyed dur:rig
aad secured against
any hostile attack, under the direction of General
Prince N%-adbolqk i, and an hospital established, with
a quarantine.
'
On time 26th, ,Divine Service was performed on
an eminence near the river Arpatchai, in view of the
snow-covered s,utnmits of the Allah Ges (God's
Eye), and of the Holy Mountain Ararat. The
troops, which had so lately endured the fatigues of
the Persian campaign, were, in the fittest order. Two
months' repose has, as it were, regenerated them.
The troops immediately afterwards crossed the Ar-
patchai, which was the first step to hostile ope-
rations.

-BEFORE KARS', .41,1: 2.—The army under Gen.
raskewitsch having passed the frontiers on the 26th
of June, advanced directly towards Kars, tl.te ca-
pital of the Pachalik of the same name, through the
villages of Dignio, Palderavan, and Meschkow.—

LONDON.
FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 15, 18213.

The -Resignation of his Royal Highness the
Duke of CLARENCE will be a death-blow to the
hopes of the Navy, fur merit, and merit alone,
was the passport to promotion and honourable
distinction with the LORD HIGH ADMIRAL.
Witk him the crooked policy which seeks pre-
ferment through Parliamentary intrigue and cor-
rupt influence found no favour. Hence the
continuance of his Royal Highness at the head
of the Navy was felt as a stumbling-block
in the way of corrupt patronage. The straight-
forward line of conduct pursued by the LORD
HIGH ADMIRAL Was another grievance to
those who felt that their character suffered in
public opinion by tl►e contrast. The Duke
very happily illustrated by his manliness and
actions the blunt characteristics of the sailor—
while his firmness of purpose inspired cohfidence,
and diffused universal satisfaction through the
various departments of the Navy. His admi-
nistration—or rather his general inspection of the
several Dock-yards, while it gave an impulse to
public business, by exciting a generous emulation,.
only served in certain quarters to give serious
offence. The Duke of WELLINGTON corn-
plained of his Royal Highness's expellees,
while others cavilled at a display of pageantry
and parade—insidiously endeavouring thereby to
conceal, under imputed causes, the real feelings of
jealousy which pointed their malignity. We
know that the retirement of his Royal Highness
will occasion regret as lively as his accession to
office difhlised the most enthusiastic joy. But
the Duke of WELLINGTON wanted the right
arm of patronage by the loss of naval influence.
I Besides the appointment of the LORD HIGH

ADmlnAt was a master-stroke of CANNING'S
genius that mortified the rebellious spirit of the
►SEVEN SECEDERS, in a manlier not to be for-
given or forgotten. And behold an opportunity
has arrived to put the finishing hand to that
policy which ensured to this country the respect
df.foreigh nations, because it inspired their fear.
The Duke of WELLINGTON is an excellent sol-
dier,. but a most " untoward " politician. The
hearty welcome which the Duke of CLARENCE
gave to the heroes of Nayarit' was another source
of annoyance to the Military Commander, who
has no sympathy with naval matters whatever.
The LORD HIGH ADMIRAL divided the glory
of the Vremier's popularity, and must pay
therefore the expence ! Some substitute must
be found whose subserviency may minister
to the patronage of the Aristocracy and the
pride of the. PREMIER. We should not be
surprised, in the event of Lord NIELVILLE'S
refusal to return to his old haunts, if the Duke
were to place some General Officer, who had
been a voyage or two to sea, at the head of the
Admiralty. The Duke is like a man of ONE
idea : he can see no glory, and appreciate no
talent, in any other profession than his own.—
But OTHELLO'S occupation will _not endure
for ever.,

The Allgen:eine Zeitung, and Frankfort
Papers of the gat August, have been received
this morning, but they do not add any thing
material to our previous news from the East of
Europe. Much is expected from the Concentra-
tion of the Imperial Army, and probably the
next accounts will bring us the storming of
Schoumla

CAPASRUHE, AUG. 5.
Baron D'Otterstedt, Prussian Minister in Switzerland,
where be bee resided many years, arrived here yesterday.

ODESSA, JULY 9.

Her Majesty the Emprees, who still honours our town
with her presence, and derives great benefit from sea-bath-
ing, will remiin here till the return of the Emperor from
the campaign. It seems that the military operations will
be prosecuted with the greatest energy, now that the whole
army is together, and that the few remaining months of
fine weather will be employed in approaching the Turkish
Capital. Admiral Greigh, who directed the siege of
Anapa has received orders to support the army on the sea
side, and will probably be employed in destroying the
batteries erected on the coast in the vicinity of Constanti-
nople, as soon am the army has succeeded in investing the
city. The numerous transports for the conveyance of
troops, which sailed from our port a few days ago, confirms
this supposition. A division of Admiral Griegh's fleet has
already arrived at Sebastopol, where it mtaits for the Admiral
to proceed to its destination.
Several physicians have been sent from this town to
Bucharest to superintend the execution of the sanitary
measures necessary there, the state of Wallachia being a
subject of great alarm on account of the plague.
Several persons in this town, military as well as civil,
have'been arrested, and several merchants, not settled here,
have been placed under -the superintendence of the Police.
The real ground of this measure is not known, but it is
supposed to have been caused rather by imprudeni expres-
sions and improper conduct of the individuals concerned,
,than by any real political misdemeanours.

STUTTGA RD, AI:G. 5.

The vineyards in the kingdom of Wurtemburg are laden
with fruit, and the produce will probably far exceed in
quality that of most years. The grapes are also very for-
ward. At Mergentheim the branches were above a foot in
length on the let July, and a week and even a fortnight
ago there were grapes nearly ripe, even in the lees favour-
able aspects. if we have warm weather the quality will
be excellent. This prospect has caused the old wines to
fall to prices lower than they have been for these 40 years.
The corn has happily not suffered this year by hail; the
harvest was good and abundant.

AUGSBURGII, AUGUST 7.

Prince Nicho:as Esterhazy has purchased the beautiful
island of Meiuow on the lake of Constance, and the Lord-
ship of Gaiiingen, in the bailiwick of Rudolph Zell. He
was lately at Csilsruhe, to pay hia respect* to the Grand
Duke, and has now returned to Vi►nna. The Prince is
going to have extensive improvements in this fine island,
and means to have a strong wall built to protect it against
the encroachments of the lake.
STOCKHOLM, JULY S 3.

A company of English gentlemen has been here for this
week past, who have a pleasure Yacht of their own, in
which they mean to visit successively all the principal
ports in the Baltic. They receive with great hospitality
the numerous visitors that go to see them.
The Government purchased of the heirs of the late
Count Wirensen a number of Cachemere and other sheep,
which he imported from his estate at Djursholm, but which
the Government intends for the Royal Academy of Agri-
culture. The price of copper is continually declining,
without any proportional incresae in the quantity pro-
duced. The Russian General Suchtelin is the same who
in the last war between Sweden and Russia, commanded
the corps which besieged Ana took the fortress of Swesborg.

Notwithstanding the late heavy rains in this
country, and the apprehended damage of the
crops, we have yet the consolation of hope for
the better ; but in some parts of America the
crops have entirelyfailed. The Norfolk Herald,
of the ‘23d July, has the following article, which
is sufficiently alarming. "We learn with regret
that the wheat crop in the neighbouring counties
of North Carolina has, in many instances, totally
failed, and that there has been very little, if any,
saved for market." rct.,;d,r
L-1

The following is an extract of a letter from
Rio dc Janeiro, dated the 14th June, 1828, ad-
dressed to an eminent mercantile house in the
City, from which it Ipi)carsilie Emperor Don
PEDRO has his hands full in Brazil, without
interfering with the affairs of Portugal, even if he
was so inclined

" Times have been gloomy enough of late, but we fear
that we have not seen the worst of them. Our bank,
which only issued copper for a long time past, has stopped
payment altogether. This would appear alarming enough by
itself, had not the conviction failed of support on the part of
the Government, whose debt to that establishment amounts
to 4-3ths of its notes in circulation. Fur the effect of ap-
peasiug the public anxiety in this respect, a commission has
been appointed for examining the affairs of the bank,
and the Chambers are likewise busied on the same subject,
and are about relieving- the public of the calamities
su►'fered from the scarcity of copper coin. One of the
cashiers has shot himself, and left a very heavy de-
ficit behind him—said to amount to several hundred
cuntos of rein, All this, and not a word more about peace,
has tended to depreciate our Exchange, which is now
hardly better thati 2914., and may close, by the Goldfinch
packet, at 29d. To told cause to public uneasiness, An
event has takes► place, which, although unproductive of
any serious consequences, is important of itself, in these

critical times, and offers; a proof of the weakness and un- '
popt9aritrof our Governments Th. 0.2 days ago the Irish
andlGerman soldiers, who have been disaffected for some
time past, rose in their quarters, killed, wounded, and ex-
pelled their. Officers, and were proceeding to a general re-
volt. againit Government, and committed all kind of
excesses. An engagement actually took place in Campo
Santo Anna, where a regiment composed of. Irish
and Germans were quartere, and for the first time we
raw battle given in our city the few Brazilian troops,
joined by the town rabble, surrounded the rioters, who
surrendered the next day for want of order, food, and atri..
munition • about 120 were killed and wounded on both '
sides. The English and French marines were also landed;
and assisted in reducing another regiment at St. Christovao,
which surrendered without bloodshed ; there is still a regi-
ment of German riflemen, and about 1,200 Irish, the latter
unarmed, holding out for terms, at Praya Vormelha, under
the Sugar Loaf. The Germans are going to be tried by
a Court Martial, and kept in the forts in the meanwhile,
The Irish are shipped on board the men-of-war, and are
going to be bundled off at the intercession of the Biitish
Envoy, either hack to Ireland, to the Cape, or to Canada.
They are certainly a most turbulent set, and have fre-
quently abused their arms by using them agsinst the peace-
able inhabitants of this city, and are particularly inimical
to the coloured people, to whem it seems they bear a natu-
ral antipathy, the latter of whom have taken a prominent
part in quelling the late riot. The Emperor now remains
almost entirely without troops to protect his person, having
sent them all by degrees to die in the plains of Monte
Video and Rio Grande."

" Referring to our letter from Rio Janeiro of the 14th
of June, we think it proper to state, that we have seen
other letters of the same date, which do not confirm
the stoppage of the Bank. It appears by these
communications that the Establishment was under-
going some reform, and in consequence of this measure,
the defalcation of one of the principal cashiers, a Mr.
Lopes, was discovered, who finding an order had been issued
for his arrest, shot himsslf. The amount of his deficiency
is stated at between 40 and 50 thousand pounds sterling ;
the affairs of the Bank were still under investigation of' a
Committee appointed by Government, at the head of which
was the Minister of Finauce. Some fears are, however,
expressed, that still further defalcation will be found out its
their progress, but as the Goldfinch packet was to sail from
Rio to England in a few days after the above date, we may
shortly expect to hear further on this very unpleasant ru-
mour ; in the mean tune it is understood that the Brazi-
lian Government are a guarantee for the Bank in question."

Some, indeed we may say the whole, of the
Ultra Tory prints, affect to say that there were no
positive orders given to the Russian Fleet not to
touch at any port in England, but that their in-
structions were to proceed with all speed to re-
lieve Count HtYpEN. This is a sad mistake
on the part of our cotemporaries, who wish it to
be understood that the Emperor of RUSSIA is
going to second the untoward; conduct of our
Government by recalling Count HEYDEN, be-
cause Sir EDWARDCODRINGTON has been
recalled. The result Will prove how bit-
terly they will be taken in. Why should
the Emperor of RusslA send one fleet to re-
lieve another that had nothing to do ? The
thing is preposterous. No, he has more sense ;
he wishes to get his ships into a warm latitude
before the cold winds of the North chain them
in the regions of ice. His attack on Con-
stantinople, to be effectual, will require the
aid of his navy, and like a provident General
he is taking all due precautions. He feels at the
same time that this premature display of enter-
prise may alarm•his neighbours, and appear in-
consistent, with his professions of moderation,
'and he therefore endeavours (with amazing effeet!)
to hoodwink our Government by subterfuges
so palpable as to excite the derision of even Ultra
Tories, and the pity of all liberal people. But
the Duke is sure that there is no mistake, be-
cause he knows all about it.

The resignation of Mr. PEEL is now soberly
contemplated by the Ministerial Papers ; one of
them this morning says that he has so tenaciously
and inseparably bound himself up with the fate
of the Currency Bill, as to render his retirement
from office a matter to be desired, because the
Duke of WELLINGTON " only waits his op-
portunity to prove that he is wedded to no experi-
mental measures, but, ►an the contrary, prepared
to assert our ascendancy abroad and pro-
mote our domestic welfare." Really this
is too ..'-bad from a Journal which has
turned and turned till turning was of no
farther use. How long is the Duke to wait for
an opportunity ? till it has fairly escaped him—
as in the present instance ? Let him think of
Russia—and France, and murmur " the wro►►gs
of Ireland" in his dreams.

Extract of a letter front the Agent to LLOYD'S,
dated Rio Janeiro, June 14 :
The whole of the British vessels detained lure have been
released, with the exception of the Henry and Isubdla,
George, John, and Coquito, which bare been finally con-
demned. The lion. Mr. Gordon has protested strongly
against the latter sentence, and hopes are entertained that
they will yet be finally given up with damages. Three
French vessels have been condemned. It is strongly re-
ported that a squadron from Brest is daily expected to
claim them from the Government.

Wc direct attention to an article copied from
the Journal des Debats of Tuesday, touching
the policy of this country. Unfortunately its
sarcasm derives additional bitterness from its
truth. We recommend it to the. serious atten-
tion of the illustrious Duke.

of the Rtl3Slap army previously to the capture
of Kars, as described in our columns of ychtcrday•

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT.
ELTON' V. CROOME.
The bill in this case was filed for the adminisW'
tors of the testator's effects.
Mr. BICKERSTETII said that some difficulty ar°'e
in this case, and it appeared that the testator c)L°
cuted a deed, stating, that he was desirous of 1-I°,'
viding for Maria Croome, a child of her's, thei't
living, and any future children which she migt'f',
have, and far this purpose he gave her a
interest in some stock, with remainder to t',
children. There were now two children,
of - whom, _ was born subsequently to the eNeC''
tion of -the deed, and was therefore not er
titled to any share. The residuary legatee was ue4;
*irons of having this fund settled in the manner /11%
likely to be beneficial to the family, and he propote
that the elder child should consent to give up "';',
portion of the money to the younger, in sonsidertit'°:,
of receiving a present allowance far mainteo3Plj
out of the fund to which she (the elder child) ,Os
not be entitled till the death of her mother.
The VICE-CHANCELLon—I cannot compel a rirtoc
to give up a future advantage in consideration it
receiving a present benefit. You must settle
among yourselves.
Mr. Rouew..---Maria Croome is clearly entitlej
to life in the fund.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR--I think not. She
not married to the testator, and from the words
the deed, particularly where he alludes to any Mu-
child of his, it is clear that it was executed in 0/:
temptation of future cohabitation with this wolf :01
Mr. BICKERSTETn— We really have no Wi6'
take any advantage of the illegality of the deed, anti,
propose to let her have the interest of the money he
long as she remains unmarried and lakes care of t
children.
